In The Turner Diaries, the act that is going to set things off is an attack on the FBI headquarters. The Hutaree narrative: kill a cop, start a revolution. Even that Breivik guy, kinda thought that he was going to foment revolution. “All they have to do is strike against the Feds, for instance, and that’s going to spark the revolution. “You always see in the lore of the militias that there is always going to be one act that triggers the revolution,” I said. The act that sets the revolution in motion is a truck bomb that destroys the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. “What seems to kick start this incendiary movement is an act called the ‘Cohen Act,’ which is a proposed bill to take our guns away, so it grafts that fear onto this race-hatred, and this becomes the realization for this group that they have to strike now, because once the guns are taken away, once the guns have been physically seized from your home, the Jews win.” 1 To Pierce, protecting America from itself means inciting a revolution, Tom said. The novel suggests that Jews run the world, that Jews pull the strings, and that African-Americans are their unwitting flunkies, the unfortunate dupes who supposedly don’t know better (and of course a word like ‘African-American’ is nowhere to be found in the book).” The group has the aims of creating a white society, and in particular targets African-Americans and Jews. A resistance group known as “the Order” “is going to protect America from itself. Tom gave a brief outline of the book’s premise. “I made the horrible mistake of ordering it online, which has probably put me on who knows how many watch lists? And it also started getting me inundated with pamphlets and catalogues from companies that I wish I didn’t know existed. I showed him the promotional blurb by Timothy McVeigh on the back cover. “Yeah, especially if they don’t assume that you are a college professor interested in this because it is a book of dangerous and terrible ideas.” “… they’d rightly kick my ass,” I finished. If the other people on the bus knew what you were reading …” he trailed off. “Yeah, it’s not the type of book that you read on the bus.

“I ran down to the copy room to make sure that nobody intercepted it, because if someone did, it would be the end of me.”

“When I first heard about it I downloaded pages as a PDF and printed them up on the department printer,” I said. As we sat down and ordered tacos, I pulled out my copy of The Turner Diaries and placed it on the table face down.

These demographic and social changes, augmented by an entrenched and politically active nativist movement that targets illegal immigrants, should encourage our awareness of the ideological fountain from which the racist subset of these militias draw, including The Turner Diaries. 2012 was also the first year that most of the babies born in the United States were not white.
