'White nationalists' focus on dollar
Hate groups tie monetary policy to propaganda
By KEVIN PLUMBERG
Reuters News Service

NEW YORK - Wall Street bankers and politicians around the globe were not the only ones nervously watching late last year as the U.S. dollar plunged.

Using a Web site as their forum, white nationalists, unlikely champions of the greenback, hurled racial epithets at "Zionists" in the Federal Reserve and savaged the Bush administration as the dollar rapidly sank to nine-year lows against other major currencies.

The barbs reached a feverish pitch as 2004 drew to a close, but when the dollar continued its decline this year, white nationalists resumed their Internet campaign on sites such as www.stormfront.org.

The falling dollar has become a rallying symbol and a recruitment device for white nationalist groups, which broadly seek to separate themselves from non-white people.

1. Gasoline prices rose another $0.06 a gallon in Orlando this weekend
...where the price of unleaded regular is $2.119 up from $1.849 three weeks ago. That's an increase of $0.27 or 14.6%. Predictions are now suggesting that gas prices will hit a record $3.00 by June and possibly $4.00 by late summer. Peak oil is here to stay it appears regardless of whether ANWR results in a huge find or not.
