The Deguello Report
[edit]Would it be allright to mention his supposed authorship of the infamous 1976 Deguello Report (a document which accused practically every far-right group of being infiltrated by Zionist Jews and Homsexual cultists, it also claims the John Birch Society to be overrun by Communists). There are those who have noticed his writing style and his contentioussness in the document (Laird Wilcox in his 1996 American Extremists writes "Although he attempted to deny it, the Deguello report bore Robert Bolivar DePugh's psychological fingerprints. The text read as if it were a virtual transcript of conversations Depugh had over coffee with many friends and acquantances").
This would be a funny addition to this group. -- 68.80.198.92 04:01, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
A Terrorist Organization
[edit]DePugh's Minutemen would have definitely fit the definition of a terrorist organization today. They used to mail letters to people even mildly active in politics. I saw one of these letters that was mailed to my father, whose only sin was to be an alternate to the state Democratic Convention. The letter consisted of a single printed sheet with a Rifle Sight crosshair prominent on the page, accompanied by an explicit threat of unexpected assassination in a manner reminiscent of George Orwell's book 1984.
