Separatists that are also white supremacists. I think there is a distinction. Separatists denotes different longterm objectives than supremacist. Essentially separatists want to establish an exclusive mono state. Supremacists seek to dominate other ethnic groups. Supremacists might also be segregationists. They advocate separating racial groups within the same state. Examples include the jim crow system, the American South, war the system of apartheid in south africa. Some claim white river schism is little more than a facade adopted to make their goals seem more publicly acceptable by claiming to be separatists, White Nationalists can present their aspirations in a way not unlike other ethnic movements around the world today such as Tibetan Independence movement. By cloaking their aspirations in selfdetermination verbiage they feel their movement is seen as more legitimate. Let me give you some historical background on the white separatist movement. The 1960s was a time of great social of people in america. The vietnam war polarized the nation counterculture. Eventually jim crow was dismantled. There were vigilante groups such as the ku klux klan that resisted the Civil Rights Movement but ultimately failed. There were some people in the White Supremacist Movement that thought the country might actually implode under the weight of racial strife. They thought it would be impossible for blacks and white to occupy the same country in any amicable way. Blacks no longer accepting a subordinate status. There were some instances in which both white separatists and black separatists establish a dialogue in the hope of coming to some modus operandi and creating separate states. George Lincoln Rockwell and members of his American Nazi Party met with representatives of the nation of islam which was named after which was led by Elijah Mohammed at that time. The early white separatists assumed the vast amount of territory in thewould be reserved for the white population. Blacks will be given a small territory, perhaps in the American South to build a socalled new africa. The status of other americans at the time was left unaddressed. The emergence grew out of the failure of the larger White Supremacist Movement. White supremacists failed to establish anything resembling a Mass Movement in america. In the 1960s rockwell believed trends such as race riots and rising crime would lead to mayhem. They create a favorable conditions to take power. Entertain the idea that his already could actually win National Power by elections by 1972. Rockwell fell to an assassin in 1967 and with his departure some elements of the extreme right became disillusioned with this conservative approach. Furthermore the immigration and nationality act of 1955 ushered in a sea change in immigration policy in the United States. As a consequence the population in america became more racially diverse. So the white separatist movement emerged around the 1970s. There were groups that began to reformulate their strategies. Instead of trying to take over the whole country they believed it would be more feasible to establish the relatively small nation in which only like minded whites would reside. There is an obscure religious creed that became an important vehicle for white separatists. It is a religion that has its origins in something known as british is realism. That first gained popularity in england. The people of northwestern europe are the true descendents of the tribes of israel. According to this narrative, under the syrians and babylonians these tribes made their way through mountains and eventually settled in western europe. This sect found its way to america and moved into something known as christian identity. Leslie swift was considered to be the most important figure in the history of the christian identity movement. In the 1960s he recruited someone by the name of Richard Butler into the creed. In june of 1978 Richard Butler created the aryan nation to serve as a religious group he previously founded called the church of jesus christ christian. He proposed the establishment of an exclusively white republic and a Pacific Northwest. He called this the butler plan. He created a compound which served as headquarters of the aryan nation. It had become an important venue for right wing extremists. Now, the area nation was not directly involved in terrorism but the compound was the foundation where it actually crystallize. It was formed in the summer of 1983 around the same time federal marshals killed a tax protester in a confrontation in arkansas. The call belong to an up secure right wing group. Members of the group believed the county sheriff should be the highest level of political authority. At the annual area nation conference someone came up with the idea of creating an underground Resistance Group to avenge the death of gordon kahl. That included armored heists, bombings, even a few homicides. At the time in 1984 and set the record for the highest amount of money ever stolen in such a robbery. With the stolen money the group hoped to fund the white separatist movement in the notice states. The fbi caught up with matthews in Washington State in december of 1984. Matthews hunkered down in a cabin and refused to surrender. Eventually swat Team Surrounded the cabin lost patience and launched a pyrotechnic devised. The cabin was burned down to the ground. Matthews was killed. Now, strategically the order did not really accomplish much. However its campaign crystallize the revolutionary orientation of the american extreme right. Now the u. S. Government was seen as the enemy. They began to take on a revolutionary posture. No longer did they seek to preserve the status quo. They sought to overthrow the u. S. Government under the heel of something known as Zionist Occupation government. So the extreme right subculture, metzger and his organization, they lionize the incarcerated members as prisoners of war. They were encouraged to write letters to them, to send money to their families and show their support. The idea of separatism biggame became more popular. The order was inspired by books called the turner diaries. It was published in 1978 and became an underground bestseller. It sold about 450,000 copies. It is available on the internet. It has been translated into a number of languages including depression, french, spanish. The book was written by dr. William l pierce under the name andrew mcdonald. He was a physics professor. He would go on to found a neonazi Organization Called the national alliance. It is the story of a race war that convulses america in the late 1990s. The protagonist is a member of a group called the organization. They fight the u. S. Government. In the novel the government is controlled by jewish conspiracy that seeks to destroy the white race. A new law takes effect. Federal agents begin to round up peoples firearms. That serves as a catalyst for the rebellion. The organization commences attacks against the government. The story is a lot of violent episodes interspersed with ideological transgressions. One is the day of the rope. Race traitors are hanged from lampposts in california. Earl turner is inducted into the Organization Called the order. He is inducted into the group and he is supposed to fly a crop duster plane laden with a Nuclear Weapon into the pentagon. He succeeds and the organization creates this new order. Out of this destruction a new order emerges. Not only would the turner diaries inspire a number of rightwing terrorists but the novel established a genre of literature in the extreme right subculture. Numerous authors have expressed exasperations and novels which may be interpreted as blueprints for revolution. Besides the area nations there was another white separatist group that operated in Northern Arkansas in the late 1970s. Another christian identity minister founded a community known as the covenant sword and arm of the lord. The group took on a paramilitary organization. He attended the area nation conference in 1983. He declared himself to be the white resistance leader of the american homeland. He provided sanctuary to some members of the order when authorities were pursuing them. The csa was linked to several episodes of terrorism including the firebombing of a Jewish Community center in indiana. And the bombing of a gay church in springfield, missouri. Once the authorities implicated them in these offenses, they surrounded the compound. It was the first time Hostage Rescue Team was deployed. Ellison surrendered without incident. The organization basically disintegrated after that. After the demise of the order and the csa, the white separatist movement languished for a while. There was a highly charged incident in 1992 which attention. Randy weaver, a white separatist lived with his family in the hills of idaho. He sold to sawedoff shotguns to atf. He had visited the area nation compound. Atf offered him a deal if he would agree to inform on the people in the compound. In exchange he would receive a light penalty for his offenses. He refused the offer and that began a protracted and costly investigation. Finally, in 1992, six u. S. Marshals drove out to ruby ridge to conduct reconnaissance of his property. A martial shot and killed the family pet dog. This set off an exchange of gunfire. The Deputy Marshal was shot and killed by kevin harris. Harris was a friend of the weavers and had been living on the property at that time. Other marshals fired back. Sandy, randy weavers son was killed. The fbi assumes responsibility of the situation. Once again the Hostage Rescue Team was deployed. An fbi sniper shot and killed randys wife as she held her infant daughter. After the trial randy weaver and karen harris were acquitted of the most serious charges. Weaver was convicted of a weapons offense. They pay for damages related to that incident. Six months after the fiasco there was another federal siege in waco, texas. Although it wasnt a rightwing group, those people in the extreme bright subculture interpreted the raid as a message from the federal government that it would have no compunctions about repressing dissident groups. These incidents galvanized the extreme right culture in america. There were new projects that began to emerge around this time. For example, the socalled neoconfederates seek to secede from the union and create a new southern nation. It crystallized around the mid1990s. In 1990 42 brothers, james ronald and Walter Donald kennedy posted a book called the south was right. Around the same time, the league of the south was founded in tuscaloosa, alabama. The organization was founded and led by dr. Hill, a former college professor. There is a multitude of organizations that compose the southern nationalist movement. It is far from monolithic. Some organizations are divided on particular issues with respect to raise. There are two competing camps. One is racialist. They prefer a southern celtic nation. The other is territorial and favors a diverse dixie in which southern culture can flourish without regard to race. Gregory cade published 4 novels that tells the story of a movement in the south. They establish a new independent southern nation. Recent controversy surrounding the display of the confederate auto flag have had a polarizing effect in the south between mostly white defenders who view the flag as part of their regional identity and African Americans who view the flag as a blatant insult of past servitude. Now, on the other side of the country, Harold Covington advocated for the creation of an allwhite homeland. His organization is called the northwest front. His career in politics has spanned over five decades. He was from North Carolina but he lived overseas included south africa, england and ireland. While he was in ireland the Republican Army left a deep impression on him. He saw the ira as an exemplar of the revolutionary movement. His chief criticism of the american White Nationalist movement is that its goals have always been illdefined and unrealistic. In a country that is majority nonwhite by midcentury he argues it is foolish to pursue a strategy that seeks to return america to a white majority population. Instead he argues that by concentrating the assets of the white separatist movement, white separatist goals are more likely to be realized. Beginning in 2003 he published a series of five novels based on the white separatists insurgency. The novels fixed all the exploits of the northwest volunteer army. And the scenario, america has been in terminal decline, outsourcing and other harmful Economic Trends have decimated the working class. The u. S. Military was overstretched and bogged down in a series of inlets small wars in the middle east. That put the federal government in a predicament. It seemed a opportunity. They create a racially exclusive homeland for whites. Essentially the insurgents mount the war of attrition that persuades the u. S. Government to relinquish a limited amount of territory. President Chelsea Clinton agrees to an armistice and seize territory for them. In 2010, covington began broadcasting and Internet Radio program called radio free northwest. He exhorts whites to relocate to the Pacific Northwest to form a community of likeminded activists. He does not advocate violence under current conditions, only after severe crisis arrives will terrorism be called for. But even carving out a territory consisting of a few american states would still be a very tall order. Some activists urge whites to congregate together and select towns and neighborhoods. As the South African activist martha kemp they can take over local governments and as their numbers expanded higher tiers of government, under control. He cites the examples of the colony in postapartheid south africa and the zionist project in israel as successful case studies that could be emulated by White Nationalist. Today such efforts appear for circle as evidenced by his attempt beginning in 2011. It did not find supporters. Instead it brought division in the media. In recent years, Matthew Heimbach has emerged as the most articulate voice of white separatism in the United States. He first gained notoriety in 2012 when he organized a White Student Union in maryland. He founded another group called the traditionalist youth network. He believes the United States should be divided into separate ethnically and culturally homogeneous states. He thinks most fair and practical way would be to establish a number of separate as no states ethno states. Not unlike native American Tribal groups that have their own regions to control for their respective tribes. Most of the followers are White Nationalists. He has reached out to other ethnic groups. He told me most followers in california are latinos. He sees the american system as the major enemy. He argues denigration causes racial tension. He sees separation as the most appropriate course for the country. He sees the appalachian area as the most Fertile Ground for his white separatist aspirations. What is most significant . His energy. Hes an activist. Although he is only in his mid20s hes already an accomplished orator. I asked him about what form a white separatist Foreign Policy might take. He has traveled to europe on a number of occasions. He has net with a number of nationalist leaders. The Foreign Policy he proposes for his states would be to unite with various nations around the world that oppose globalism. That could include trade and military alliances with russia, iran, syria and venezuela. He identifies himself as the leader of the Eurasian Movement in america. The recognized leader is someone by the name of alexander dugan. Hes a speaker in russia. Much of his antiamericanism stems from his strident critique of liberalism. According to duke in the american liberal ideology with its emphasis on individual liberty when taken to its extreme abolishes all forms of collective identity and therefore is a Destructive Force which ruins nations. In recent years there has been a lot written on dugan. It is not entirely clear how much influence he actually has in russia. According to some his vision has become the lodestar for Vladimir PutinsForeign Policy. There are some people in the White Nationalist movement that take issue with the idea of separatism. Some extreme right groups reject separatist projects as defeatist. They argue whites should not settle for a state. Moreover, some point out if most white separatists congregated in one region than they would be sitting ducks for a hostile federal government. For his part, dylan roof in charleston last summer, he rejected this idea of creating the state for white separatists. This was similar to fling to suburbs. He
