White Supremacists
To appeal to new audiences susceptible to its radical messaging, the national white supremacist movement has tried to deemphasize hate symbols and attacks against non-white communities. These organizations have “rebranded” since at least last year, when they took a more high-profile role with conferences and rallies, official statements, and recruitment efforts.
On November 4, 2016, the National Socialist Movement (NSM), the major white supremacist umbrella group, declared its intent to stop using the swastika. NSM stated it has “every intention to bring our Party . . . into the halls of Government here in the United States, and to do that we must reach more of the public. The masses believe exactly as we do, but have steered clear of us due to our use of the swastika. Your Party Platform remains the same, your Party remains unchanged, it is a cosmetic overhaul only.”
To date, the website of the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan denies it is a hate group and focuses messaging on the “love of the white race” and “restoring America to a White Christian nation.” The organization also claims it does not want to harm the “darker races” but “simply want[s] to live separate from them.”
While traditional white supremacist organizations have focused on “rebranding,” new white supremacist groups have emerged, promoting a purist European identity and recruiting younger, educated members. Many of these groups originated on social media platforms, such as 4chan, 8chan, Twitter, and Reddit, but they have expanded activities, to include distributing recruitment posters on campuses and inciting violence at protests and rallies across the United States.
Vanguard America, formed in May 2016, focuses on white nationalism and “blood and soil” — a Nazi expression referring to the interplay between ethnicity and territory. The group’s website states, “Our religion, our traditions and our identity are dragged through the mud by the globalist establishment while millions of nonwhites flood our nation every year… It’s time to take a stand.” Vanguard America has distributed posters in New Jersey, including at Rutgers University New Brunswick campus (Middlesex County). The group also placed racist fliers on religious and cultural institutions in New Jersey to intimidate minority populations.
Identity Evropa, founded in March 2016, is dedicated to educating the “public about the importance of a collective European identity,” and it promotes networking to ensure “[European] people will have a future.” The group has made a concerted effort to display posters at colleges and universities nationwide as part of #ProjectSeige, an outreach effort to connect with students. In April, Nathan Damigo—the founder of Identity Evropa—punched a woman at a protest in Berkeley, California.
In the first six month sof 2017, white supremacist extremists conducted four attacks, one plot, and three stockpiling incidents across the United States. On 26 May 2017, Jeremy Christian of Portland, Oregon, yelled anti-Muslim insults at two girls, and slit the throats of three men who came to their defense, killing two. Christian espoused white nationalist views on social media and in April, attended a free speech march and shouted, “die Muslims” while giving a Nazi salute.
On 20 May 2017, Brandon Russell, a self-admitted neo-Nazi, was arrested on federal charges after bomb making materials were found in his garage in Tampa, Florida. Authorities discovered the materials after Russell’s roommate—Devon Arthurs—murdered two other roommates affiliated with the white supremacy movement. Arthurs told authorities Russell was active on white supremacist forums and threatened to “kill people and bomb infrastructure.”
On 13 April 2017, five members of the Aryan Strike Force were arrested, including Joshua Steever from Phillipsburg (Warren County), for allegedly conspiring to sell methamphetamine, firearms, and machinegun parts to fund the organization’s activities. On March 21, James Harrison Jackson, a self-identified white supremacist, traveled from Baltimore to New York City to kill black men. He murdered an African-American man with a sword and told investigators the attack was a “test run for a larger killing spree.”
The book "The Turner Diaries", was written by William Pierce under the pseudonym Andrew McDonald in 1978. The book is built on the premise of a white government looking back on its successful rise to power. The diaries are an archaeological find. Earl Turner was an early foot soldier and hero.
The diary started in 1989, with enforcement of "The Cohen Act". The whites have hidden their guns from the feds. The FBI and Israeli hitmen are hunting them down. At the same time the Supreme Court rules that rape laws are unconstitutional since they discriminate against men. Thousands of white women are immediately raped by blacks. Disarmed whites can no longer defend their women and the future of the white race is in doubt.
The organization strategy: guerilla assaults against the Zionist Occupational Government (ZOG) to cripple the " System" and to provoke liberals into oppressive measure against the white population. Organized in cells or small groups so that if caught, one individual could not bring down everyone. These cells committed robberies and murders to finance the organization. They blow up the FBI building in Washington with ammonium nitrate fertilizer bomb in a truck.
A secret in group called the order is formed. Earl Turner is admitted into the order. After passing the lie detector tests he is given a secret book which tells about the white race and its place in the cosmos.
After a takeover in southern California the organization holds the "day of the rope" where thousands of white liberals and white women who have slept with blacks are hung from street posts. Jews are herded into canyons and shot. Blacks, Asians, and Latinos are exiled. The war intensifies. Major cities are destroyed. ZOG is crippled. Turner flies a suicide mission into Pentagon.
An all white nation survives.
J.M.Berger noted that the " simplified formulation avoided the alienating and stigmatized imagery of neo-Nazism and the elaborate Biblical convolutions of Christian Identity, allowing the highly factionalized white nationalist movement to coalesce around a theme on which they could all agree – an existential threat to the 'white race.'" Crudely written and wildly racist, "The Turner Diaries" helped inspire dozens of armed robberies and more than 200 murders in the decades since its publication. Turner catapulted to national prominence when it was revealed to be a key inspiration for Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Timothy McVeigh, who killed 168 people using a truck bomb strikingly similar to one described in detail in the book. Shaun King [New York Daily News, November 21, 2016] reported : “At an Alt-Right conference being held, of all places, in a federal building in Washington D.C., Spencer didn’t even attempt to hide his bigotry and anti-Semitism. Richard Spencer, who coined the term “alt-right” and is seen as one of its founders and public intellectuals, openly wore his Neo-Nazi heart on his sleeve. According to the NY Times, he railed against Jews and, with a smile, quoted Nazi propaganda in the original German. America, he said, belonged to white people, whom he called the “children of the sun,” a race of conquerors and creators who had been marginalized but now, in the era of President-elect Donald J. Trump, were “awakening to their own identity.”
Rob Kroes noted in 2017 that "... with a new president continuing the viciousness of his campaign rhetoric in his inauguration speech, using words like carnage to describe the havoc wreaked by the preceding administration, and – most ominously – what with a post-election Alt-Right meeting in a federal building in Washington D.C. shouting “Heil the People, Heil Victory,” the president is like a spearhead penetrating into the political system..."
Trump advisor Steve Bannon was the co-founder of the white nationalist, "alt-right” website, Breitbart News. Under his direction and approval, this site published blatantly bigoted rhetoric about women, Muslims, and other minorities. It was no wonder that white nationalist groups, such as the KKK, praised Bannon's extreme political statements.
Other members of Trump's senior staff had ties to white nationalist groups. Stephen Miller, who served as White House Senior Policy Advisor, was a well-known associate of white supremacist Richard Spencer, and had a long history of both denying systemic racism and promoting multicultural segregation.
Sebastian Gorka, who served as Senior Counterterrorism Advisor in the Trump administration, had extensive ties to anti-Semitic hate groups, including the Vitez Order, a successor to the WWII-era Vitezi Rend, which the US State Department listed as “under the direction of the Nazi Government of Germany during World War II.” Gorka claimed that white supremacists did not pose a homeland security threat, signaling his total denial of the very real danger posed by the vitriolic ideology these groups espouse.
