Murphy Ranch

Visited Murphy Ranch in the hills directly above Los Angeles today.
The ranch was originally built to be the home and new US capitol of nazi power for Adolph Hitler, if WW2 was won by nazi Germany.
US nazi sympathizers living in Hollywood built the ranch which had 22 bedrooms, a vegetable garden, diesel power plant, a giant water tank, and bomb shelter.
The ranch was raided by US federal authorities shortly after Pearl Harbor was bombed, the 50 residents were arrested.
Murphy Ranch was briefly turned in to a artist colony and once home to novelist Henry Miller.
Most of the abandoned ranch is rusting away and falling apart. The buildings are covered with graffiti and the grounds are littered with trash. The State Parks system has plans to bulldoze the remaining structures and make the area in to a picnic space.
April 20, 2014 also marks the 125 birthdate of Adolph Hitler.

Neo Nazi Group Hold Rally @ LA City Hall

25 members of the National Socialist Movement, a neo-nazi white supremacist group, held a rally on the south steps of L.A.'s city hall. They used a high powered PA system to broadcast their messages of white supremacy to a giant counter protest group.

As the NSM members left, they were confronted by the counter protesters who threw rocks and bottles at them.

The NSM claimed the swastika as their holy symbol and called for all non-whites to leave the U.S.A

They also called out L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, MS13, and the Bloods and Crips to challenge them. They also used the Mexican flag and flag of Israel to wipe their boots with.

One man, who had a swastika and SS tattoos, was severely beaten by the angry counter protesters.
