State and local law enforcement have prepared for a gathering in downtown Dahlonega today that was organized by white supremacists who have advertised it as a rally in support of President Donald Trump. The organizer is Chester Doles, a North Georgia resident with decades of experience as a white power activist. Doles is a former member of the Ku Klux Klan and was an organizer for the National Alliance, a mostly defunct white supremacist group with deeply anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant beliefs.

A million dollar coin collection put together by Robert McCorkell could soon be in the hands of a Neo-Nazi group. If this groups behavior is anything like the The Immortals, the news could start to be littered with some very eerie stories in the near future. … The group, National Alliance, has been labelled the “most dangerous” Neo-Nazi group in America, not to mention having been linked to various bombings and assassinations over a “three-decade campaign” of violence. … Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the Alabama-based civil rights group (SPLC), and a top expert on hate and extremist groups,...

The FBI has made an arrest in connection with the attempted bombing along the route of the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in downtown Spokane. An FBI source in Washington, D.C., said one man was arrested Wednesday outside a home near Colville, Stevens County. Agents, including a bomb expert from Quantico, Va., were preparing to search a house where others associated with the suspect were living, the source said. The suspect is believed to be affiliated with white supremacists, the source said

Romano Prodi, who recently resigned as Italy's prime minister, has been asked by Giorgio Napolitano, the head of state, to remain in office and face a vote of confidence in parliament, a presidential official has said. Prodi resigned on Wednesday after he lost a senate vote on foreign policy, which included keeping troops in Afghanistan. "I will go to parliament as soon as possible, with the support of a cohesive coalition determined to help the country at this difficult stage," said Prodi after Napolitano's request. Prodi's supporters earlier asked that he be given a second chance to show he can...

The next vote in Iraq is the Oct. 15 referendum on the nation's constitution, but the political elite is already turning its attention to the general elections scheduled for December. Most Iraqi politicians now expect the constitution to be approved; fears have faded that Sunni Arabs might manage to vote it down. The optimism rises from several developments. First, as more and more Sunni Arabs read the proposed text, now widely distributed, they realize it is not as bad as some of their self-styled leaders claimed. The latest suicide-killer attacks have also come as a wake-up call to Sunnis not...

Letter from North America: “ ‘Ling Chi’ [lynching’s] Shadow” BBC Special Internet Correspondent: Fang Hu Zhai‘Ling chi’, using a knife to dismember a person piece by piece, was a method of torture practiced in ancient China. I am using ling chi here however as a borrowed translation to describe the history of ‘lynching’ in the United States. Most of the history of lynching, the “illegal punishment” by hanging of a criminal without any legal process whatsoever, is tied to southern white racists. In the past, they wantonly killed blacks, other minorities, even white people who opposed their views, and thus...

By next May, the latest possible date for Italy's forthcoming national election, the country's political landscape could look very different. For one thing a new law, strengthening the role of proportional representation in the voting system, may be in place. For another, the three main parties in Italy's ruling centre-right coalition, which has held power since June 2001, may have merged into a single, if loosely knit, movement. Most intriguingly of all, Silvio Berlusconi, the prime minister who will turn 69 in September, may not even be the centre-right's candidate for premier. Italy's next election campaign will take place against...

As Germany's defeat loomed during the final months of World War II, Adolf Hitler increasingly lapsed into delusional fits of fantasy. Albert Speer, in his prison writings, recounts an episode in which a maniacal Hitler "pictured for himself and for us the destruction of New York in a hurricane of fire." The Nazi fuehrer described skyscrapers turning into "gigantic burning torches, collapsing upon one another, the glow of the exploding city illuminating the dark sky." An approximation of Hitler's hellish vision came true on Sept. 11, when terrorists destroyed the Twin Towers in New York, killing nearly 3,000 people. But...

SAN BERNARDINO - In the immigration battle being waged at the border, a local network of largely Latino activists is taking a new tack to counter volunteers who are monitoring the border for illegal crossings. On May 1, the National Alliance for Human Rights will try to "close the border' by persuading those intending to cross over legally from Agua Prieta, Mexico, to Douglas, Ariz., not to do so for several hours. The strategy "is a notice' to Minuteman project volunteers, who have recently announced their plans to extend their Arizona-border monitoring project for several additional months and to other...

After 9/11, domestic anti-government and racist groups find the means to reorganize West Hurley, N.Y. – The American Cancer Society was holding a walkathon. Jim Leshkevich, self-proclaimed white separatist, saw the potential. The cause, abolishing breast cancer, was appealing, but by collecting donations from similarly aligned people last fall, Leshkevich, a 50-year-old former truck driver from this town in the Hudson Valley, had another mission in mind: to promote what is widely considered the country's most active neo-Nazi organization. Leshkevich rallied about 35 donors on behalf of the National Alliance, as well as Stormfront.org, a "white pride" Web site, had...

NEW YORK, April 18, 2005 -- A secret FBI report, obtained by ABC News, identifies 22 domestic terror organizations as the current subjects of 338 active FBI field investigations. The Aryan Nations, and other white supremacist groups, are cited in the report for hate crimes, fire bombings, threats via mail, as well as robberies and murders. The National Alliance, one of the largest neo-Nazi organizations in the world, is subject to 51 FBI investigations alone, according to the report.

White supremacist groups don't target communities at random, says Norm Gissel, a Coeur d'Alene attorney who has battled neo-Nazi and other white supremacist groups. They come to a particular community because they see something that indicates they might be welcomed there. Gissel said he has no idea why Kevin McGuire, a National Alliance member, chose Bozeman. But he's convinced McGuire is not here by accident. Joe Roy, who works for the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center and tracks hate-group activity, said such activity sometimes springs up just because someone already living in a community starts believing in...

A SENIOR Italian government adviser on labour relations was murdered by gunmen apparently opposed to his proposals to make it easier to sack workers. Marco Biagi, 52, an affable professor responsible for drafting the government's package of labour market reforms, was shot dead by two attackers while cycling home on Tuesday night in Bologna, the nerve-centre of the Italian far Left. The murder is the most dramatic evidence so far of the political tension welling up in Italy since the Right-wing government of the prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, took power last year, backed by the "post-fascist" National Alliance and the...

<p>Responding to a string of racially charged incidents and student demands, University of Louisville officials held an emotional two-hour campus meeting yesterday and said they would study whether they are allowed to ban the Ku Klux Klan from school grounds.</p>

A week after an Alachua County businessman vowed to keep a neo-Nazi group's billboard up on Florida's Turnpike, he relented to a Jewish organization's boycott. The Jewish Defense Organization, which fights anti-Semitism with unconventional methods such as inundating its target with telephone calls, launched a campaign Jan. 6 against Sunshine Outdoor of Florida and its owner, Jerry Sullivan of Micanopy. The group demanded that the sign, which promotes the white separatist group the National Alliance, had to come down, or the organization would urge people nationally to complain and not do business with Sullivan. Last week, Sullivan said the sign...

The conference on Saturday will be the first since the defection in November of one of the party's best known figures, Alessandra Mussolini. Ms Mussolini, granddaughter of Italy's former fascist dictator, left after Mr Fini called fascism an "absolute evil". The National Alliance is the second largest party in Italy's four-party coalition government. It was founded in 1995, following a split in what was then called the Italian Social Movement, itself built on the ashes of Benito Mussolini's Fascist Movement. As late as 1994, Mr Fini had described Mussolini as the "greatest statesman of the 20th century". Nevertheless, Mr Fini...

The same violent neo-Nazi club that inspired the Oklahoma City bomber is advertising for new members on a billboard in Orlando's back yard. On Florida's Turnpike, just over the Lake County line in Sumter County, there's a plain billboard with a black background and big block letters in the style of the "Got Milk?" ads. It reads in part "WHO RULE$ AMERIKA?" Then it gives a Web address. That goes to the home page of the National Alliance, a group founded in the early 1970s as a spinoff of the American Nazi Party. (Spelling America with a K is a...

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - A white supremacist group left fliers on car windshields outside City Hall this week while the City Council was inside figuring out the final wording of a resolution condemning racism and discrimination. ''Immigration or invasion?'' read one of the fliers left by the National Alliance. ''If current trends continue, whites will be a minority in this country within the next 50 years.'' Another called President Bush ''the mother of all race traitors.'' Council member Jerry Heimlicher, whose vehicle received a flier, called the message ''stupid and disgusting.'' He said the National Alliance's actions led to...

The Antiwar Movement's Nazi ConnectionBy Ben JohnsonFrontPageMagazine.com | April 25, 2003 In the run-up to the liberation of Iraq, conservatives were tempted to say the entire anti-war movement represented nothing more than a conglomeration of Stalinists, Castroites and Islamists. Such a description would not do justice to the "peace" movement: it would omit the role of vicious anti-Semites. FrontPage Magazine recently exposed the neo-Nazi Bill White’s Overthrow.com ("The Bottom of the Barrel"), but giving White a run for his bile is one Bruce Alan "Vincent" Breeding, a professional anti-Semite and sometime Satan-worshiper whose life’s purpose lies in fighting the Jews....
