Von Brunn's Site Was Transferred Out Of His Name June 1

Von Brunn's Site Was Transferred Out Of His Name June 1
By Zachary Roth - June 11, 2009, 10:05AM

The registration for James Von Brunn's now-defunct white supremacist website, HolyWesternEmpire.org, was transferred out of Von Brunn's name on June 1, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The information, which SPLC obtained through a search of online records, suggests that Von Brunn was at the time planning the attack on the Holocaust Museum of which he is now suspected, and may have wanted to ensure that the site continued.

Heidi Beirich of the SPLC told TPMmuckraker that on June 1 the site was transferred from Von Brunn's name into that of Steve Reimink, of West Olive, Michigan. Searches of online records by others confirm that the site was registered to Reimink at the time of the shooting yesterday.

2. The obvious question is... Did Reimink know Von Brunn was going to do this?

6. Rachel or Keith had someone on last night talking about how these guys work

The "lone wolves" aren' quite to lone. The interviewee had infiltrated RW and KKK organizations and was introduced to Von Brunn and told he was one of the elders all the younger members looked up to. Then he said that these extreme loonies, those who were likely to act out, worked in groups of three. One was actually the trigger man and the others helped plan and raise money. The other two knew what was going down and when. So I couldn' be surprised if Reimink was one of Van Brunn's three. And why wouldn't it be Von Brunn? He's 88 years old and likely not going to live a heck of a lot longer so life imprisonment doesn't mean much.

11. Strong possibility that at least others knew about it

This is going to get interesting. I just hope the FBI starts a sweep for this whackos and starts closing up shop for these right-wing terrorists.

7. West Olive, Michigan? That's Dick DeVos and Michigan Militia country. (a la Tim McVeigh)

That side of the state is far right and white supremacist territory.

8. I want that man to live and to completely recover

Looks like he was pretty sure he would die yesterday. My wish is that he has no such luck.

As well, Reimink and the girlfriend, Patti Thompson, better be prepared because the party van is coming for them.
