FOX News reports that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has had internal discussions as to whether accused Arizona terrorist Jared Lee Loughner, alleged to be responsible for the mass-murder terrorist attack might be linked to the American Renaissance “white nationalist” group, that plans to hold a national conference in Charlotte, North Carolina on February 4-6, 2011. The January 8, 2011 terrorist attack in Arizona killed 6, including a 9-year old girl (Christina Taylor Green), and critically wounded Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 12 others. The Huffington Post is also reporting on this. The American Renaissance also operates under the name “New Century Foundation”. (In other news, the American Renaissance is planning a national event in Charlotte, NC for February 4-6.)
The FOX News report states that:
“MEMO:
“The investigation has been taken over by the FBI, and is being run through the Tucson Command Post. Here’s what can be confirmed at this time (1800 hrs)… * Gabrielle Giffords Is in ICU.* Federal judge John Roll is deceased. He did rule on a 32 million dollar civil rights lawsuit in February, 2010. That ruling brought death threats to Roll and his family, and for a time he was given a protection detail.* 6 deaths attributed to the shooting. 19 total people hit by gunfire.* suspect’s mother works for the Pima County Board of Supervisors* the suspect has multiple arrests … But no criminal record? Intervention by someone?* no direct connection – but strong suspicion is being directed at AmRen / American Renaissance. Suspect is possibly linked to this group. (through videos posted on his myspace and YouTube account.). The group’s ideology is anti government, anti immigration, anti ZOG (Zionist Occupational Government), anti Semitic. Gabrielle Gifford is the first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the US government. She was also opposite this group’s ideology when it came to immigration debate.* DHS have a list of names and dates of birth of all victims.* the ACTIC is still playing a major role in the investigation… Computer forensics is cleaning up the surveillance videos, and images from around the scene, and involved in the investigation – working together, was MCSO, DPS, Phoenix PD, ICE, and of course the FBI. It did just come in from the command post, that the federal judge was Not originally scheduled to attend the meeting, according to wife. She stated that he received a phone call about an hour before and was invited to attend. Wrong place – wrong time. For the planning side, there are impromptu memorials popping up all over the state, but the largest one is downtown phoenix, at the capital.’ “
“Jared Taylor, editor of American Renaissance, made clear in an interview with Fox News that the group considers itself a think tank of sorts with a conservative circular that’s available by subscription. Asked about the memo, he said, ‘That is complete nonsense. I have absolutely no idea what DHS is talking about.’ He told the cable channel that his group checked subscriber lists for its circular and found no record of Loughner subscribing or attending events.”
The Stormfront organization, which has long been a supporter of the American Renaissance group, has had a series of postings trying to blame the terrorist attack on a black-American or a Mexican-American. A number of the Stormfront posters were pleased with the terrorist attack because Gabrielle Giffords is Jewish.
One Stormfront poster “14words_of_truth” repeatedly sought to defend the accused Arizona terrorist Jared Lee Loughner as “He went after a member of the government that he hates and wants to kill.” The same poster stated, regarding the accused terrorist murderer, that “He feels he has no Civil Rights. He is correct, and that is because of the Federal Government. Without an action, there is no reaction.”
News media have been reporting that accused Arizona terrorist Jared Lee Loughner stated in December 2010 on his (now gone) MySpace page that he sought to kill a police officer.

AP: Probe examines possible link to anti-gov’t group
(AP) January 9, 2011
“WASHINGTON (AP) — An official familiar with the Arizona shooting investigation says local authorities are looking at a possible connection between Jared Loughner and an online group known for its anti-government rhetoric. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation, says this is one of several motives that local authorities are pursuing in the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz. The anti-government organization American Renaissance is connected to the white supremacist New Century Foundation, according to an analysis by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an Alabama-based group that tracks hate crimes. Members typically espouse anti-Semitic and anti-government views. Loughner’s online postings include language that is in line with such beliefs.”

DHS Memo Suggests Shooter May Be Linked To Racist Organization
FOX News by Jennifer Griffin — January 09, 2011
“According to a law enforcement memo based on information provided by DHS and obtained by Fox News, Jared Loughner, the alleged shooter of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, may have been influenced by a pro-white racist organization that publishes an anti-immigration newsletter.”
“No direct connection, but strong suspicion is being direceted at American Renaissance, an organization that Loughner mentioned in some of his internet postings and federal law enforcement officials are investigating Loughner’s possible links to the organization. The organization is a monthly publication that promotes a variety of white racial positions.”
“The group’s ideology is anti government, anti immigration, anti ZOG (Zionist Occupational Government), anti Semitic,” according to the memo which goes on to point out that Congressman Giffords is the first Jewish female elected to high office in Arizona. A recent posting on American Renaissance’s website on January 7 begins with an article entitled: “Exit poll: Whites are Different.” The site goes on to list anti-immigration articles. Investigators are also pursuing Loughner’s alleged anti-Semitism.”
