Wade Michael Page on right
Evil has a name, Wade Michael Page. For the people in Wisconsin who are in the midst of trying to understand why they became the victim of extreme hate and prejudice all they have are the few facts that are now emerging from this terrorist act. Page is being exposed now as a Nazi who was a band leader for a white supremacist rock group, “End Apathy.” From an online source:
“The group claims that they ‘began in 2005 with roots in old school…punk and metal influences’. The group last listed their location as Nashville, North Carolina. Their last login to MySpace was in February 2012.
On MySpace, Wade Michael Page’s alleged music includes songs like ‘Self Destruct’, ‘Insufficient, and ‘submission’. He admitted in the 2010 interview that End Apathy was all his own idea and that topics included sociological issues, religion, and how the value of human life has been degraded by being submissive to tyranny and hypocrisy that we are subjugated to. (…)
The Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that has studied hate crimes for decades, reported today that they had been tracking Page since 2000 when he tried to purchase goods from the National Alliance.
Heidi Beirich, director of the center’s intelligence project, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that there was ‘no question’ Page was an ardent follower and believer in the white supremacist movement.” Source: GuardianExpressLA.com (not an endorsement information only)
Pictured is a sleeve of the inside of one of their albums. I Googled searched: End Apathy in images and found this off of this website: http://www.dare2dedicate.com/2011/06/vinyl-cover-layout-design/vinyl_screen2/ (not an endorsement for information only). If you then go to “Dare 2 Dedicate” you will see that it’s confrontational and it’s global. The language is German on their Facebook page I used Google translate to translate which detected the language. Here’s their site, not an endorsement for information to the connections that Wade Michael Page has/had: http://www.facebook.com/Dare2Dedicate?ref=stream
The bigger logo for Dare2Dedicate states, “We Will Still be standing When you fall.” I don’t know how applicable this site is to what organization Page is tied to but I’m doing initial research and this is what I’m finding. (otherwise News is developing).
Among other details are this:
“Wade Michael Page, 40, a six-year Army enlistee. A senior law enforcement official said Page rose to the rank of sergeant before being demoted to specialist and leaving the military in 1998. (…)
A Defense Department official said Page was in the Army from 1992 to 1998. He trained at Fort Sill, Okla., and served at Fort Bliss in Texas and Fort Bragg in North Carolina. Page worked as a repair technician for the Hawk missile system and later was detailed to Psychological Operations as a specialist, the official said.” Source: Washington Post emphasis mine.
Latest News included on this story is this, out of the Fox News Milwaukee live feed, there was pictures and videos of a Second Man wanted for questioning. He was at the temple site following the shooting and he was taking pictures of the situation. He has a 9-11 tattoo on his arm. Why was he being photographed is my question? Is he innocent in just being curious or is he a part of a greater operation? The FBI wants to know more from him and his business there at the scene. Considering that many who were affected by 9-11 joined the army maybe this guy is a friend of Page, or he’s the controller who was orchestrating Page’s activities that day? Who knows. The FBI isn’t going to tell me and the MSM isn’t going to tell you. Here’s a picture of him and a link to watch the short video of him on the scene yesterday.

I will update as information becomes available.
Update: 8/09/12
Today it has been reported that the Killer, Wade Michael Page, turned the gun on himself after being shot in the stomach by an officer. Wade M. Page killed himself with a shot to the head: http://news.sky.com/story/970578/sikh-temple-shooting-gunman-killed-himself
“President Barack Obama called Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday to express his condolences over the incident.
Mr Singh is India’s first prime minister from the Sikh faith, and several victims of the shooting were from India.”
Some in India are protesting the US
Singh said, “These guys brandishing swords and burning the US flag, it is absolutely outrageous.” “Here the whole nation is flying the flag at half-mast in honour of the victims and these stupid guys are burning the US flag and raising slogans against America — it is simply ridiculous and outrageous,” he said, and added, “It is totally counterproductive to what we are trying to portray here.” Singh said, “We are trying to show that we are a community of peace and equality and outreach and welcoming to all other faiths and religions and these stupid idiots with their swords and burning of the US flag are portraying Sikhs are some frenzied radicals.” He said, “I have looked at the website of these guys who call themselves the National Akali Dal and its has three pictures — honouring Sonia Gandhi, honouring Manmohan Singh and honouring Abdul Kalam. And now they are burning the flag of America, they are burning the flag of France, they are burning the flag of Australia. I just don’t know what they are trying to do there and what their agenda is.” Source REDIFF news
Keep in mind that according to the above article on the protestors it’s a small group of people, but when they get photos like this and then broadcast it around the world it gives the impression all of India’s Sikh’s are going to attack us. The media adds to the flame when it does such stories. I’m presenting it to you here so that you know there are fringe groups everywhere. The deplorable acts of this one “white man” who is in a supremacist group is not reflective of all White Americans in the US, and vice versa, not all Sikh’s are those nut jobs pictured above.
totally unrelated I’m sure, December 2011:
Wow……hate never ends.
