There's something missing in the recent set of blog posts regarding freeper and suspected terrorist Chad Castagana. I appreciate posts like John Amato's
Does idolizing Malkin turn you into a terrorist? but he leaves out
Nicholas Barta, who died after blowing up his house in New York earlier this year.
While I don't think Bartha intended to terrorize anyone the way Castagana did, I believe he should be included in any discussion of violence inspired by the right wing hate media. Only a devoted fan would think to email Joe Scarborough, Sean Hannity and Brit Hume his suicide note.
Some excerpts below the fold.
In the section of his note titled "WHY DID I DO WHAT I DID?", there are several clues that Bartha's right-wing views contributed to his marital problems and lead to his suicide.
Apparently one of the reasons that his wife left him was that he had posted a swastika in his kitchen between two articles from the New York Times. He claimed that the swastika was "intended for Dutch extremists." One was about Dutch "abortion boats" in which Irish women could travel to the Netherlands to obtain abortions. The other was about adoption by "Dutch, German and British pedophiles," which may be a reference to gay adoptions.
Regarding the judge's rule that his house be sold, he wrote
This is I am sure part of the American dream now legislated by the Supreme Court in 2005 the Eminent Domain low to takeaway private property for private development not for community use. Now in 2006 we see the results of this legislation.
The reason he can't accept the court's decision against him are obvious. His reasons for not trusting them are straight out of the right-wing mantra on liberal activist judges:
Why I cannot trust this judges. How do you become a judge in N.Y.S?
First you prove you are trustworthy =Politically Correct. You work for years for a Union, Legal Aid, A.C.L.U, and Housing Court before you apply. In the case of Judge Lobis it was even easier because she was open gay lesbian attorney in the 1980's and she was asked to apply (www6.low.com.) to be a judge to insure diversity! [...] [A]t the end you must see the Chair Of the City Bar Judiciary Comity where you have to show assurance you will use the court for political activism create new interpretation of the low disregard the constitution. I see it this way; the respect of the Constitution is not a consideration at all.
It is not a fully correct interpretation but it is close.
Her/comrade Judge Lobis you went to far with your judicial activism (j. terrorism) and you created and delivered to Manhattan "Auschwitz West".
The section he titles "POLITICALLY THE COUNTRY IS A DISASTER" continues like a month of Fox News on fast forward:
The last decision of the Supreme Court that property can be appropriated not only for public interest by localities with the eminent domain low. Now it can be used to appropriate private property and give it at cut-rate prices to a private developer who should pay market prices if they want to make money. This is a good prescription to be abused by unscrupulous city fathers to squise more tax money AND appropriate for themselves some of it.
Further deconstructing the Constitution by the Constitutional Judges for their political aims, like it is a piece of art in a Soho Art gallery, is further eroding the liberties of Americans the right to own properties undisturbed based on the Constitution I am not surprised which judges made the decisions and why.The liberal side of the Supreme Court to squeeze out more taxes to give it to the " needy" in other words support income redistribution.
The anti American politicians and others who are against the war in Iraq (the same people who was against the Vietnam war) like T.Kenedy, Soros, M.Moore, the New York Times Arthur Sulzberger JR, H.Clinton (who's only hope to be elected was N.Y.S. as was used by a Kennedy years back) and many others, I hope they will succeed so that the the terrorists will move to the states. So people here will have a taste of suffering as when the East Europeans were given to the Russians by a very sick President Roosevelt at Yalta in 1945. President, who sent back a boat with Jewish refuges to Europe to be exterminated, enacted the anti lynching lows he could not legislate because of the resistance of the southern Democrats, when he realized he needs blacks to fight in Europe and die he had no choice. I hope most of the country realizes whom Ms. H.Rodham Clinton is and will make sure she will never be a president unless they want to suffer the consequences. I wish President Bush had been at Yalta.
A new addition to this list is D. Durban. What a man.
The corrupting power of congress has no limits two Vietnam Veterans could not fight it Congressman Cunningham sold his influence for $ 2.000.000 maybe he thought he is entitled for his military service. Congressman Murtha's action is more difficult to explain unless he forgot the Vietnam War was lost in the U.S. Congress. He is giving hope to the terrorists and causing more death of the American and other soldiers and civilians.
As for the voting in the Senate and Supreme court is very interesting the percentage needed In the senate it is expected 63 % has to vote for a low to be passed while in the Supreme court only 55.5% is enough to pass a low it should be 66. % There are only 9 Judges. In the senate should be 51 % there are 100 senators.
To the people should be given a yearly accounting since the inception of Social Security to explain what happened to the money paid in and paid out so the people can blame the right people for diverting the money for other purposes (the right of the people to know, no journalist touches this subject not even David Gregory NBC's Senior White House Correspondent with his Politically Correct act on Rove, Bolton , war in Iraq he is probably not taking his medications) Make a decision on the energy bill. Criticize the Iraqi war without having any substitute ideas. Who are dreaming Sadam was no danger to Western societies. The Rumanians did the right thing to Cheusescu. The Charles Schumer & Joseph Wilson production yesterday was pathetic. Why would Schumer show up with a looser whose wife is trying to jump-start her husband-derailed carrier by trying to get involved in Kerry's election?
Tried to help her husband to have a job in the Kerry administration by sending him to Niger than return and write a fictitious report on Sadam that he did not want to buy yellow cake to build WOM destructions. It failed. He even gave money to the Kerry campaign
One of the MYTHS that transfer of power is peace full in the U.S. is slowly eroding. For years politicians, certain papers more like the New York Times, T.V stations and
Radio Stations badgered President Bush who won anyway for the 2nd time. Not considering the money spent by American Way and other extreme leftist organizations.
This is what Lenin did when he brainwashed the Russians that his party was the majority BOLSEVIC when really it was the minority.
Air America in N.Y.C. they went, as far as to take over WLIB, 1190 AM the station with no listeners now. The program used to serve in the past, Caribbean listeners now is part of Air America Radio. On some of the programs in the past listeners would call in with their problems for advice. Now they have no outlets. So much of the respect for diversity.
Air Americas a T.V. program on Sundance T.V. channel with far left political content. One can hear Al Franken, Jerry Springer (we know who he is) and other far left lunatics. Soros is one of the contributors.
Jane Fonda (Hanoi Jane) is against the war again. Some people will never mature. Her ex husband is even worst. I hope Mr. Kerry will be in the background during the bus tour again. Last month she was in Ireland where she gave an interview against the war and against the president to a European T.V. organization.
So whenever this loony's criticize the President they are criticizing the people who elected him and expect him to live up to his promises.
I wonder if PUTSCH is the next step in the piece full transfer of power? I do not know who did it in Europe in the past. It suggests the country is moving to an Unconstitutional Republic if this people will succeed. The bashing of Bush reminds me of Lenin who claimed the communists are the majority (BOLSEVICS) and other parties were in minority (MENSEVICS) when it was the other way around. Eventually he was able to full the masses. We know now the end result in Russia. The same type of thinking is alive in U.S. schools where teachers did not learn from the past. The Gramsci ideology is thought. He believed in social changes based on ree3ducation producing lasting change
...
The democratic column in N.Y.C. is so strong because most of electorate is politically ignorant they are simple puppets that it would elect any fascist placed in the democratic column by far left democrats and they would be elected.
It was to late when I realized this country is not based on majority rule. The argument of diversity and minority rule is a Trojan horse to install a communist society based on income redistribution and creation of rights to fever groups of people against others. It is ridiculous to ask the president to select a Supreme Court candidate with the input of the loosing party. The people, who elected him, would not like it at all. I hope the present Supreme Court candidate who is Harvard educated (very politically correct institution) will make his decisions based on the constitution.
After saying goodbye to his family he concludes with two post scripts.
P.S.
Fascism = Communism = Politically Correct.
All this political philosophies are based on minority rule over the majority. Unluckily I had experienced all three. The first not directly, only partially, indirectly.
P.S.#2. Ms Cindy Sheehan is desecrating her son's memory. I do not think she ever cared for her son the wishes of her family or her husband who is divorcing her. She disrespects his son's decision to go two times to fight in Iraq where he died trying to save another fighter. You are exploiting him and destroying his values. She is an opportunist trying to be famous on the back of her son.
I find it incredibly sad that anyone would consider a rant about Cindy Sheehan to be appropriate last words. Bartha wasn't just right wing, he absorbed the latest talking points like a sponge and used them to develop a brittle, hostile and ultimately self-destructive view of the world.
