Man uses media to create illusion of (Skinhead) movement
from KATU Portland... this just blew me away. For two years people have been freeking out (me too) because of the huge upsurge in reported "Nazi" activities...It turns out it is 1 guy!! LOL!!!

PORTLAND, Ore. - For more than a year now, a Tualatin man has used public access television, the Internet and the mainstream media to create the illusion that a white supremacist movement is on the rise in the Northwest, law enforcement officials said.
But in reality, authorities said, the so-called Tualatin Valley Skins and the pro-white movement is the work of one man, Matthew Ramsey of Tualatin, and perhaps one or two other men.

Ramsey even created an alternative persona for himself, "Jim Ramm" - but his real name surfaced two weeks ago in media reports.

Still, some experts say, Ramsey, 40, and his Web site should be tracked because he has managed to create a buzz for the white supremacy movement.

more.....

Anybody wanna help take down some Nazi's???

2. It may be one guy promoting the neo-nazis in Tualatin....
...but that doesn't mean he's preaching to an empty church, if you know what I mean.

3. Agree... he has an audience... the funny part of this story...
Is that last Fall there were reports in the papers, and on the local newz about this specific group that had organized a huge rally at a local park.

Well, the day of the rally came, and there were about 100 people in the park. They were all there to Protest against the Skinheads, but the Skinheads never showed up. We were wondering if they cancelled it because the the protestors, or they just got lost looking for the park!
