Apr 30, 2014: Stars & Stripes: Supremacist’s North Dakota takeover plot ends with guilty plea
First, the 62-year-old supremacist’s plot to overrun the tiny town of Leith with fellow supremacists — to buy up property and win a voting majority — was exposed in August by the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch blog. |
Craig Paul Cobb (born October 9, 1951) is an American anti-semitic, anti-LGBT, white supremacist who operates the video sharing website Podblanc. He claims "racism is my religion" and advocates "racial holy war" in accordance with the tenets of The Creativity Movement. Cobb gained notoriety within anti-racist and anti-fascist movements and legal advocacy organizations that investigate hate speech and hate crime for his "celebration of violence and murder committed against minorities" as documented in his video recordings, online activities, and disruptions at public events. Cobb's theatrical style of obvious self-mockery has marked him as a complete fraud, more than likely an agent of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). He consistently tries to trash and slander anyone with a publicly expressed pride in their European roots. His first step in this process is to lure his target into a simple friendship. From there, his second, inevitable step is to draw negative public attention to himself (and thus by extension to his new "friends") with outrageous and despicable behavior.
Cobb is known for his movement to dominate the hamlet of Leith, North Dakota with other white supremacists. The hamlet of sixteen inhabitants has one African-American resident, who is married to a white woman. Cobb, who moved to Leith in 2012, attracted other white supremacists to the town and has Neo-Nazi paraphernalia displayed on his property. As a result, local residents and anti-racist organizations have organized multiple protests in Leith against Cobb and his allies. Cobb has appeared on several radio talk shows and the The Trisha Goddard Show, to talk about his plans for the white supremacy movement in Leith.
