Aryan Nationalist Alliance Officially Founded

>Steever also served time for beating a man with an axe handle in Texas and for threatening to stab two black high school students. Then, while to the outside world it may seem trivial, Steever has taken in members without meeting them in person, a move that violates the deepest protections of skinhead culture.

>That reality was not lost on Richard Kidd, president of the Supreme White Alliance (SWA), who posted a photo on Facebook of skinhead Kent McLellan handing over his old ASF patch to Kidd. “Aryan Strikeforce history is being made the first time a strike force patch exchanges hands to another without a mailbox,” the photo caption read.

>Chris Barker, the imperial wizard of the North Carolina-based group Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, is also in the alliance. Barker helped testify against Glendon Scott Crawford, a member of the United Northern and Southern Knights who was convicted in federal court of building a radiation weapon in the back of a panel van. Barker recorded his phones calls with Crawford for the FBI, hoping to receive a lesser sentence on a firearms conviction.

>The groups in ANA include: the Loyal White Knights; the National Socialist Movement; Aryan Nations; Texas Rebel Knights; the America First Committee (Art Jones); the Racial Nationalist Party of America; SS Action Group; Phineas Priesthood; NSDAP/AO; Pacific Coast Knights; the Racial Volunteer Force; the Great Lakes Knights; Werwolf 88; the Aryan Terror Brigade; the White Nationalist Front (Canada); the Authoritarian Party; White Wolves Invictus; the United Society of Aryan Skinheads - USAS; the Nordic Order Knights; the Traditionalist Workers Party; and White Lives Matter. Some of those groups, including the America First Committee, Authoritarian Party and the Racial Nationalist Party of America, consist of fewer than five people.
