Chapters (45)
“Anything that espouses cooperation and peace between countries,” Kate said. “When Bush senior was president, he often made mention of a New World Order. That fed these crackpots’ paranoia of government conspiracies. They began to profess anarchy like blowing up government buildings. Willis Carto, who lives in So-Cal, out in Escondido, publishes a newspaper called The Spotlight—one of the oldest anti-Semitic machines. Now it’s almost exclusively anti-NWO. Maybe PEI is some sort of outcropping from Escondido. Maybe that’s where they’re getting their funding for the fancy graphics.”
“If Ricky Moke exists,” Rina said, “and if he’s a computer person who’s also aligned with PEI—maybe he’s doing the graphics gratis.”
Webster liked that idea and told her so. He looked over Kate’s shoulder as she scrolled down the site. She said, “No, PEI can’t be aligned with TWCOC. They’re anti–Third Position.”
Rina said, “The Third Position states that nationality is irrelevant as long as you’re white.”
“You’re white,” Webster told Rina. “Could you join?”
Kate broke in. “Actually, she could because The Third Position doesn’t believe that white Jews are really Jewish. So if she dropped her identity as a Jew and preached white supremacy, they’d probably take her in.”
Webster said, “You know that Darrell Holt is kinda black.”
Kate raised her head from the screen and thought a moment. “How can you be kinda black? That’s like being kinda pregnant.”
“He looks biracial or multi-racial,” Webster said. “You’ve never seen him?”
“Just pictures. He’s claims he’s Cajun. To me, he looks typical Na’leans.”
“Actually, he claims he’s Acadian from Canada—Nova Scotia. Which I’m thinking might be true, because Nova Scotia Acadians have black descendants.”
“Then it would make sense that he’d been anti–Third Position,” Rina said.
“So now we got a guy who’s a segregationist and a racist, but not a white supremacist because he’s got black blood in him,” Webster said. “So why didn’t he align himself with a group like Nation of Islam?”
“Maybe he tried to do that up at Berkeley, and he wasn’t black enough,” Rina said.
Webster smiled. “Wouldn’t that be a hoot? Someone wanting to be a racist, but too much of a mix to fit in with any of the groups.”
“So he starts his own group,” Rina said.
“No, PEI was started longer than four years ago,” Kate said.
“But it changed images four years ago,” Webster reminded her.
“You said it yourself, Kate,” Rina said. “Holt made several transformations.”
“Why don’t you look Holt up?” Webster suggested.
“First let me shut this down…” She exited the official PEI site and plugged in Darrell Holt as a keyword. “He has his own Web site…linked to PEI.”
Webster said, “Who started PEI?”
