But the bombing of the federal office building in Oklahoma City in April 1995—and the suspicion that an army veteran of the Persian Gulf War may be the perpetrator of that deadliest act of terrorism on U.S. soil—will erase forever the false notion that this threat comes from beyond our shores. Home-grown terrorists have long scarred America's landscape with guns and bombs. From our biggest metrop- olises to the heartland cities, these true believers have struck. When they surface, their acts give us a glimpse into a shadowy world of fear. Often with political aims, they target their weapons at individuals and institutions they be- lieve are conspiring against the true America and its sacred Constitution. To prepare for possible battle with a government they see as their enemy, seemingly ordinary citizens have enlisted themselves in paramilitary training. Such a group was the Silent Brotherhood, a private guerrilla army with the goal of launching a terror and sabotage campaign against what they called the Zionist Occupation Government. In the shorthand of the American media, the gang later became known as The Order. In the mid-1980s, it launched a campaign of rob- beries, assassination, sabotage, and terrorism that brought nearly $4 million in stolen loot into their treasury. Its mem- bers gunned down Jewish talk show host Alan Berg in Denver in 1984 to silence his over-the-air railings against their cause. They amassed an impressive arsenal of weaponry, set up a salary system for their soldiers, and purchased land in the Idaho forest for establishment of a military boot camp to train America. After an intensive manhunt by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Silent Brotherhood's conspiracy was eventually broken. But after all the courtrooms emptied and the prison cells slammed shut, one striking gap remained, one nagging question no one yet had addressed. Who was Robert Jay Mathew; the man who founded the Silent Brotherhood? The FBI didn't know him. The media never heard of him until after his death. The only thing obvious about him was that he defied the stereotype of an American racist. His story bore witness to something more pervasive, more threatening to the nation's way of life, as most Americans understand it, than is generally believed. With the potential to be a successful family man had he chosen that course, he nevertheless formed a terrorist underground, crossing a line that the radical right had been toeing for years. So at a time when race relations in America continue to spark conflict and outrage, when the radical right rises up -with guns and bombs as the radical left had done in the 1960s and 1970s, the authors set out to look at the Silent Brotherhood as a microcosm of the extremist movement. What we found was an intricately woven web where lines are blurred, and distinctions are matters not always of dif- ference but merely of deree. —Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhart April 1995 List of Main Characters and Organizations Aryan Nations: A Hay den Lake, Idaho, organization that is one of the preeminent racist groups in the nation, preaching the anti-Semitic Identity religion. Andrew Barnhill: An intelligent young man with a good- paying job in Florida, he becomes steeped in survivalist religion and the ultraconservative cause. Richard G. Butler: The Aryan Nations' leader whose goal is to unify the radical right, he loses younger follow- ers to the more militant Robert Mathews. Christian Identity: This race-based theology, one of the far right's fastest-growing segments, claims white Chris- tians are the true biblical Israelites. Jean Craig: A Wyoming grandmother and Identity be- liever who assists the Silent Brotherhood with tasks rang- ing from soothsaying to surveillance. Zillah Craig: Jean's estranged daughter and believer in Identity, she becomes Robert Mathews's lover and confidante. CSA: Started in 1976 as a fundamentalist Christian com- mune deep in the Ozarks woods, the Covenant, the Sword, and the Arm of the Lord grows into a military encamp- ment of survivalists waiting for Armageddon. Randy Duey: A studious, conservative bachelor, he pro- gresses deeper into the movement until he finds himself carrying an Uzi machine gun for the cause. James Dye: A Marine Corps veteran of Vietnam with a shrapnel wound in his head, the scorn he receives upon his return drives him into the racist movement. Richard Kemp: A high school basketball star from Sali- nas, California, he is drawn at a young age to the neo- Nazi National Alliance and is impressed by Mathews. David Lane: A Klansman from Denver, he leaves his xi xii The Silent Brotherhood real estate and title insurance jobs after a divorce and deepens his involvement in the radical right. Ken Loff: Robert Mathews's closest friend, he is a farmer and family man who follows Mathews devotedly and becomes the banker of the white revolution. Wayne Manis: The veteran FBI agent whose intuition leads to busting one of the biggest cases of domestic terrorism in history. Thomas Martinez: A Philadelphia janitor and racist who, when backed into a corner between Robert Mathews and the FBI, decides he cannot join the underground and still remain true to his family's love. Robert Jay Mathews: Founder of the Silent Brotherhood who yearns to lead a white underground to, in his words, "remove the Jew forever from this world." Ardie McBrearty: A congenial man from a big family, he becomes involved in the tax protest movement because of what he considers unfair taxation. Robert and Sharon Merki: A middle-aged husband and wife who make mnoney in their basement when their finances fall apart, then set up a counterfeiting and spying operation for Mathews with help from their children. Robert Miles: One of the leading racist figures in the country, his remarks at rallies motivate Mathews to em- bark on armored car robberies. National Alliance: A neo-Nazi group based at the time in Arlington, Virginia, it gives Mathews his principal moti- vation for forming the white underground. Charles Ostrout: He blames his lack of advancement at the Brink's Company on its affirmative action program and helps set up a multimillion-dollar robbery. Denver Parmenter: In two years he goes from working for Ronald Reagan's election to wearing a neo-Nazi uni- form at a congress of racists, losing his marriage and child in the process. Bruce Carroll Pierce: A Kentuckian enthralled with the Western mystique, he moves to Montana where, in less than a year, he discovers the race-based theology of Pastor Butler and joins Mathews as his top lieutenant. Randall Rader: A backwoods boy and rock musician turned Christian survivalist, he becomes the Rommel of the Radical Right by running Mathews's guerrilla camp. List of Main Characters and Organizations xiii Richard Scutari: A martial-arts expert and ultra-conservative religious man, he gives up a secure job and family to become Mathews's chief of security. David Tate: His parents, ardent followers of Pastor But- ler, rear him in the church and school at Aryan Nations, where he meets Mathews. Gary Lee Yarbrough: A convicted burglar, he finds his religious roots at Aryan Nations and later joins the Silent Brotherhood, becoming the only member of the gang who had ever been in prison. ZOG: The Zionist Occupation Government, a euphe- mism among far right activists for what they feel is a Jewish-dominated government and culture in the United States. Prologue The Underground Wayne Manis shifted his automatic rifle to his shoulder as he heard the front door opening. Pressing against the damp bark of a tall fir tree, he peered at the isolated house through the milky haze cast by a set of powerful spotlights. "Get ready!" he heard Danny Colson whisper sharply as a young man stepped out on the front porch. The young man squinted into the glare of the lights, then nervously turned his head away. His hands were clasped tightly around an olive drab duffel bag. He hesi- tated before continuing to walk slowly off the porch. An agent dressed in fatigues and face paint triggered a bullhorn. "Hold your hands out where we can see them at all times," the amplified voice reverberated through the dark- ness. The man turned sharply to his left, facing the direction of the voice. Clutching the duffel bag in his left hand, he opened the palm of the right to show it was empty. "Now, slowly, walk directly forward between the ga- rage and the shed," the voice ordered. The young man appeared terrified. Manis was aware that he probably believed he was about to be assassinated. The lights carved through the mist blowing in from Puget Sound and reflected off the tiny droplets, setting off the young man with a luminous, surreal glow.

  • Aryan Nations/Church of Jesus Christ Christian
    Aryan Nations/Church of Jesus Christ Christian This document is an archived copy of an older ADL report and may not reflect the most current facts or developments related to its subject matter. INTRODUCTION Recent years have not been kind to Aryan Nations, once the country's most well-known neo-Nazi outpost. Bankrupted by a lawsuit from a mother and son who were assaulted by Aryan Nations guards, the group lost its Idaho compound in 2001. Though he continued to serve as Aryan Nations’ leader, Richard Butler suffered the effects of age and ill health, and the group splintered into factions in 2002. Butler claimed to be reorganizing Aryan Nations but died in September 2004, leaving the group’s future as uncertain as ever. Founder and Leader: Richard Butler (1918-2004) Splinter groups (and leaders): Tabernacle of Phineas Priesthood ( Charles Juba, based in Pennsylvania); Church of the Sons of Yahweh (Morris Gullett, based in Louisiana) Founded: Mid-1970s Headquarters : Hayden, Idaho Background: Butler first became involved with the Christian Identity movement after serving in the U.S. Air Force during World War II. He studied under Wesley Swift, founder of the Church of Jesus Christ Christian, until Swift died. Butler then formed Aryan Nations. Media: Internet, videos, posters, e-mail, chat rooms, online bulletin boards, conferences. Ideology: Christian Identity, white supremacy, neo-Nazi, paramilitary Connections: Aryan Nations has had members in common with several other white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups, including National Alliance, the Ku Klux Klan and The Silent Brotherhood/The Order Recent Developments: Once the most well-known neo-Nazi group in the United States, Aryan Nations has suffered substantially in recent years due to Butler’s ill health, and a lawsuit that cost the group its Northern Idaho compound in 2001.

  • William Prince
    William Prince by Ted A Griffin Table Of Contents Register Report for William Prince 1 Kinship Report for William Prince 76 Index 102 ii Register Report for William Prince Generation 1 1. WILLIAM1 PRINCE was born about 1788 in Candys Creek, Mcminniville, Tennessee, USA. He died in 1850 in Lawrence, Kentucky, United States. He married (1) LAURIE FYFFE in 1798. He married (2) RACHEL MURPHY about 1810 in Russell, Virginia, USA. She was born about 1784 in Tennessee, USA. She died in Lawrence, Kentucky, United States. Notes for William Prince: We know that William Prince was named William D. Prince as the 1850 census of Habersham county shows this, and also the 1850 delinquent tax list of Habersham shows the same name. The 1850 Murray county GA census shows William enumerated without his middle initial, but there is no doubt it is the same family (with a few unsurprising discrepancys) that appears in 1850 Habersham. As Joseph Prince owned land in Murray county GA in 1850, it is certainly likely that William was residing on that land once he left Habersham. (Phil Prince <[email protected]>) Notes for Laurie Fyffe: There is no evidence that this is correct. It is most likely that Laurie Fyffe married some other William Prince. Notes for Rachel Murphy: Rachel filed for divorce on Dec 21, 1835 stating that she and William had moved back to Lawrence Co. abt 1828 and in 1829 he had deserted her and taken up with Arty Mullins. (According to my Great Aunt Emma Prince Thompson, Carter Prince's Grandmother was a Gregor.
