The Huffington recently published a brilliant piece of in-depth journalism detailing how a team of reporters exposed a white supremacist who went by the moniker “Grandpa Lampshade.” While that might seem like an odd name, it actually refers to Nazis making furniture out of Jewish Holocaust victims’ bones. And the story goes downhill from there.
Over the course of the story, the writers detail how Daniel Kenneth Jeffreys, aka Grandpa Lampshade, used online tools to develop his brand of hate. He used Gab, a far-right social media site, read The Daily Stormer, a popular neo — Nazi website and created an online radio show called “Daily Aryan.”
His background wasn’t surprising either. He was a heavily-bearded, blue-collar Texan who lived an unremarkable life, apart from the fact he broadcasted messages that played a role in sending Robert Bowers on a killing spree that left 11 people dead at a Wisconsin Jewish Center.
Jeffreys often warned about whites being outbred by black and brown people, and suggested eliminating Jews because they were funding so-called “white genocide.”
“We’re being served now with a cake that’s been poisoned. Cake with ingredients such as feminism, this racial demographic, multicultural time bomb,” said Jeffreys during a podcast. “All of these ingredients have been baked into this cake. And the baker is a hook-nosed rat Jew.”
