Aug. 17, 2006 -- EXCLUSIVE. WMR has uncovered evidence that the Bush administration is riddled with individuals who not only advocate for the Confederacy but are also linked with leaders of the racist Aryan Nation Brotherhood. With the recent focus on Virginia Senator George Allen's racist comment about a South Asian-American working for Democratic candidate Jim Webb's campaign (Allen called the campaign worker a "macaca" (a monkey) -- a French-language racist term for people with dark skin, an examination of the corporate filings of Jefferson Davis Camp #305 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), which, according to Confederate Memorial Association director John Edward Hurley, has been a longtime hub for extreme right-wing Republican activities.

SCV 305's last non-profit corporation filing with the District of Columbia was on January 10, 2006. The name of the registered agent is Charles Goolsby and the Director is listed as Richard T. Hines. Goolsby is a producer for the Voice of America who told The Nation's Max Blumenthal in an August 16, 2005 article that he had not been part of the SCV "in a long time." However, SCV 305's corporate filing clearly indicates that Goolsby was the registered agent for the group five months after his denial appeared in The Nation. Goolsby is in charge of issuing International Crime Alert for the VOA and the International Broadcasting Bureau. The criminal alerts, while including global alerts on Osama Bin Laden and various Latin American narco-criminals, does not include any right-wing groups or terrorists.

Richard T. Hines, who owns RTH Consulting, is a top GOP lobbyist who is involved in various neo-Confederate activities, including the annual Confederate Memorial service in Arlington National Cemetery -- a ceremony that honors Jefferson Davis on his birthday and which brings together a "Who's Who" of neo-Confederate luminaries in Washington, DC. Hines' clients include Cambodia, Saudi Arabia, the military dictatorship of the Gambia, and the oil-rich Akwa-Ibom state in what partly constituted the former secessionist Republic of Biafra. Hines has also been a writer for the secessionist Southern Partisan magazine, in the pages of which are found the words of Trent Lott praising the principles of Jefferson Davis and how they apply to the Republican Party and John Ashcroft heaping praise on the Confederacy.

In the past, the Arlington Confederate memorial service has received wreaths from George Allen and his senatorial colleague John Warner. Allen is a longtime supporter of SCV activities, having, as Governor of Virginia, issuing a 1994 proclamation, drafted by the SCV, that declared the month of April "Confederate History and Heritage Month." The proclamation lauded the Confederacy's four-year "struggle for independence." Hines, a native of South Carolina, was involved in the trashing of John McCain in that state's GOP primary on behalf of the Bush 2000 presidential campaign. Hines learned dirty and race baiting politics from a fellow South Carolinian Republican, the late Lee Atwater, the role model for Karl Rove.

Meet the other neo-cons -- the Neo-Confederates -- George Allen, John Ashcroft, the neo-Nazi National Alliance, and the Sons of Confederate Veterans Jefferson Davis Camp 305.>>>cont
