american renaissance

An internal Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by Fox News suggests that alleged gunman Jared Loughner — accused of killing six people, shooting Arizona Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and wounding 12 others — may have ties to the American Renaissance group, though it’s unclear if he was directly affiliated with the publication or group.
But Taylor, a 1973 graduate in philosophy from Yale University, told Fox News on Sunday that he had never heard of Loughner until Saturday and has checked the group’s records going back 20 years and has not found any subscriptions for Loughner to American Renaissance publications. He added he also has no indication that Loughner ever attended any events hosted by the group, which have been held on the East Coast where the organization is based. Taylor also denied reference to the group as being “anti-ZOG.” “That is complete nonsense,” he said. “I have absolutely no idea what DHS is talking about. We have never used the term ‘ZOG.’ We have never thought in those terms. If this is the level of research we are getting from DHS, then Heaven help us,” he said.
