Seattle, WA 98118 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Tuesday, 22 June 1999 - ----- _________________________________________________________________ IADHO ANTI-NAZI PROTEST _________________________________________________________________ * * * June 19, 1999 Dear anti-fascist friends, On July 10, Aryan Nations and hooded Klansmen will once again march in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. At last year's parade, there were 90 white supremacists and nearly 1000 civil rights protesters. This year, Anti-Racist Action (ARA) and United Front Against Fascism (UFAF) are forming Coalition Against Nazis (CAN) to organize a large, orderly, outspoken counter-protest to this parade. We are mobilizing advocates of civil rights across the Northwest U.S. and Canada to make sure the world knows Nazis can't hide in Idaho! SOME THINK FASCISTS SHOULD BE IGNORED Aryan Nations feels at home in Idaho. That's because the official policy of Coeur d'Alene business leaders, city officials and the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations has been that Nazis are best ignored. Mayor Steve Judy is urging everyone to turn their backs on the Hitlerites and "avoid the parade," as he did last year. The Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations, which in 1998 led civil rights advocates out-of-state for a rally while the Aryans took over one of their streets, is hosting a human rights celebration on July 10, in Coeur d'Alene, but far away from the fascists' march. This marks a steady, slow movement over the years by the Task Force to locate its actions closer to the scene of Nazi activity. Those who have suffered violence by the bigots already know that the place to be is at the site of the Aryan Nations parade. Business leaders who are heavily dependent on tourism would just like the publicity created by the civil rights protest to disappear. After all, who wants to vacation in a state that is world famous for bigotry and racist violence? TURN THE SPOTLIGHT ON ARYAN NATIONS CAN believes that the extreme right cannot be ignored. White supremacists multiply when they can convince their recruits that they are "superior" because of their capacity for violence and frightening people. The best antidote for their propaganda is community mobilizations which show that the majority are not afraid and will stand up for each other and for equality. That's why we urge the city's civic, religious, and political spokespeople to call for and participate in a civil rights protest at the site of the Aryan Nations parade. WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP -- Share this letter with a friend. -- Attend the CAN counter-demonstration in Coeur d'Alene. -- Endorse CAN's demonstration. We want to show support from a broad array of people of color, feminist, radical, Jewish, labor, environmental, gay and youth organizations. -- Sign the pledge below and send it to Coeur d'Alene Mayor Judy. Circulate it on the Internet. Urge others to sign and send one as well. -- Make a generous donation to help publicize our efforts. Checks can be made out to UFAF/Idaho march and mailed to 5018 Rainier Ave. S., Seattle, WA 98118. SEE YOU IN COEUR D'ALENE This is a good year to take a stand against Aryan Nations. You'll be standing up for Matthew Shepard, murdered by homophobes in Wyoming; for James Byrd Jr., killed by the KKK in Texas; for ARA members Daniel Shersty and Lin "Spit" Newborn, assassinated by Nazi boneheads in Las Vegas; for your friends, your neighbors and yourself. Be part of the multi-racial solution to the divide and conquer ideology of the fascists and make history in Idaho this summer! Sincerely, Luma Nichol UFAF Coordinator * * * PLEDGE TO PROTEST THE ARYAN NATIONS PARADE Dear Mayor Steve Judy and City Council, When the Aryan Nations march in Coeur d'Alene, I pledge to support those who protest their hate-mongering and violence. I urge you to join the advocates of equality and anti-fascism by calling for and participating in this counter-protest, and protecting the constitutional rights to free speech of myself and others who believe in a multi-racial society cleansed of all forms of bigotry. __________________________________ (name/city) Send to: City Hall, 710 E Mullan, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814 fax (208) 769-2284; e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Coalition Against Nazis PO Box 8775, Moscow, Idaho 83843, (208) 992-9755 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes, I'll endorse C.A.N.'s civil rights protest of the Aryan Nations in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, July 10, 1999* _________________________________________________________________ Name _________________________________________________________________ Address _________________________________________________________________ City/state Zip Country _________________________________________________________________ Phone(s) E-mail _________________________________________________________________ Organization/Title ____ This is an organizational endorsement. ____ This is an individual endorsement, affiliation listed for identification only. ____ I/We will help distribute the pledge to Coeur d'Alene Mayor Steve Judy. ____ I am interested in joining the UFAF car caravan to Idaho. ___ I can take passengers. ___ I need a ride. ____ Enclosed is a contribution to the Coalition Against Nazis for $___________.

At the beginning of May, the fascist organization established an Internet web site, and began the process of recruiting. Aryan Nations has a long history of violence and is among the most significant extreme-right organizations operating today. Established in the mid-1970s, in Hayden Lake, Idaho, Aryan Nations brought together within a single organization factions of the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis, and members of the racist Christian Identity religion. Aryan Nations/Church of Jesus Christ Christian, believes that Jews are Satanic, and that people of color are sub-human. The Canadian Aryan Nations website proclaimed its political platform - the establishment of an Aryan National State - under which only white Aryans will be allowed citizenship; Jews will be deported and their assets seized; non-whites will be permitted to remain within the State, but without citizenship rights and only under the "custodianship" of an Aryan citizen; all religions other than Christianity will be forbidden; non-white media will be prohibited; and Anglo-Saxon, Germanic "common law order" established. Significantly, only the killing of a White by a non-White will be a capital offence; no legal provision is made for the reverse: the murder of non-Whites by Whites. (The full text of the Aryan Nations political platform can be found in the Appendix at the end of this report.) Links from the Aryan Nations website to other Canadian organizations included Holocaust-denier Ernst Zundel's "Zundelsite;" the neo-Nazi Heritage Front based in Toronto, and the "Freedom Site," home to such far right activists as Paul Fromm and Marc Lemire, and, until recently, lawyer Doug Christie. Links to US organizations included: Aryan Nations World Headquarters; National Alliance; Stormfront; David Duke Report; Posse Comitatus; Knights of Freedom; The Order; KKK.com; National Association for the Advancement of White People; White Pride World Wide; The Nationalist Observer; Nordic Tree of Knowledge; and the National Socialist Movement. An e-mail link on the Canadian Aryan Nations website connected directly with the Canadian Aryan Nations leader. A request for information to this e-mail address brought the following response, which clearly reveals the name of the new leader: Dear [name deleted] I will send you an information package immediately. Unfortunately there is no local contact in the [deleted] area at this time. I will let you know if someone in that area joins the Aryan Nations. In the mean time just take a look at the info package I am sending you, and which should arrive shortly, and let me know if you decide to join. Since I established the Canadian Website about a week or so ago, I have had a couple of requests for information packages. I hope the Canadian website attracts more people to the organization. We need to make White people aware that we exist, and are working for their long term interests. Should you decide to join you will be asked to distribute literature. Now we don't expect you to stand on a street corner and hand out "Death to Jews" propaganda or anything like that. What works well I find is placing homemade business cards bearing the message "Help save the White Race" on them in books, magazines, phone booths, public washrooms, etc. I will send you an example of these cards with the info package. They are easy to distribute, and you won't draw attention to yourself. Anyway, let me know if you join. Thank you on behalf of our race for your concern. 2nd Lt. Marty Olsen CJCC/AN Canadian Leader The Canadian Aryan Nations Information Package included: * A letter from Richard Butler, US Aryan Nations leader, inviting the recipient to join the organization and subscribe to its publications, * A biography of Butler, * A statement of Aryan Nations religious beliefs * An explanation of Aryan Nations symbols and "heraldry," * A statement of their political platform * A list of some books for sale, including Hitler's "Mein Kampf," and former US Nazi leader George Lincoln Rockwell's "White Power," * A membership application form, * And a letter from Marty Olsen, Canadian leader. This letter is headed by symbols of the Nazi war eagle carrying the swastika in its claws. The text of the letter indicates that "the Canadian office has just been established, but with your help, we can build the Canadian chapter of the World's most notorious Pro-White organization into a commanding presence." The letter maintains that "you are not alone. We need to reach these others, and transform their lonely frustrations into the driving force of a Holy army." The Bethune Institute recognizes that swift and early action produces results. We exposed Marty Olsen through our networks and through the press, shining a spotlight on his activities. On 26 May, Olsen resigned his position as Aryan Nations leader and removed his website from the Internet. The fascist organization was effectively neutralized. Aryan Nations is not new to Prince George. In 1991, Tanno McCurdy, a lumber worker from nearby Valemont, BC, was reportedly introduced to Aryan Nations in Prince George. He was recruited into the organization and began to publicly announce that he was a "pastor" for Aryan Nations. In 1992, McCurdy moved to Creston, BC, where he served as pastor and organizer for approximately one year. McCurdy's wife became uncomfortable with his beliefs, and had a restraining order placed against him. McCurdy returned to the Prince George area. A little over a year later, McCurdy was taken into police custody under circumstances which remain unclear. A judge remanded him to Riverview Psychiatric Hospital for observation. In the Spring of 1995, McCurdy was found hung in his room. The death was attributed to suicide, although relatives remain suspicious. Subsequent to McCurdy's departure from Creston in 1993, former Aryan Nations leader Terry Long moved to town. In late 1995, Charles Scott moved from Kelowna to the Creston area as Canadian leader of Aryan Nations. Public pressure from anti-racist organizations forced him to leave within the year. Scott resigned from Aryan Nations in 1996. In 1997, an individual known only as Brother John was apparently raised to Aryan Nations leadership. Richard Butler, the US leader of Aryan Nations confirmed Brother John's membership, but refused to confirm or deny his leadership. Brother John claimed a cross-burning on a mountain near Merritt, BC, allegedly attended by 80 members of the Aryan Nations and the Ku Klux Klan from both Canada and Washington State, although no evidence of this event has ever been established. Since Marty Olsen's recent rise to Aryan Nations leadership, Brother John has claimed to be working with White Aryan Resistance, a California-based neo-Nazi group, and to be involved in "manoeuvers" in the interior of BC. In this connection, it is significant that W.A.R. literature and recruitment propaganda have been distributed for the past two years in the Kelowna area.
