RACIST MILITARY BOMBMAKER BACK ON JOB WITH ARMY

Coming on the heels of another government employee suspended for his racist activity, we learn that John Stortstrom is back at his job developing bombs for the military in Maryland. But everyone knows who he is now, and that means he’s still on the hook.

The mechanical engineer working with explosives for the Army’s at its Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) in Maryland, returned to work Aug. 19 after a suspension was lifted when an an investigation determined that his associations with white supremacist groups did not violate any Army or Department of Defense (DoD) standards.

John Stortstrom was suspended with pay May 28 after it was reported that he was one of 150 persons who attended the American Renaissance conference in April, as well as also a former member of the white supremacist group Youth for Western Civilization and a close associate and supporter of white supremacist and fellow YWC member Matthew Heimbach, who gained noteriety with his attempts to advance white nationalism as a student at Towson University and now promotes neo-Nazism through his new organization, the Traditionalist Youth Network. In May, Heimbach spoke at a meeting of the Rt. 40 Republican Club in Edgewood, MD, of which Stortstrom is a board member.

“After a thorough investigation, it was determined that Mr. Stortstrom has not committed any misconduct nor has he been associated with any organizations which violate Army or DoD policy,” Don Kennedy, ECBC Public Affairs Officer, told One People’s Project. Stortstrom produced non-lethal incindiary devices at the time of his suspension.

The news comes as Department of Homeland Security employee Ayo Kimathi was similarly suspended with pay from his job where he works on, he procurement of guns and ammunition for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, after a website he authors surfaced where among other things, he calls for the mass murder of whites and promotes anti-gay laws. His investigation is still pending.
