American NaziShow Video Details ↓ Narrator: On august 25, 1967, Rockwell was gunned down by a disgruntled follower while leaving the Econo-wash laundromat in Arlington, Virginia. But his national socialism still exists in the United States. And the NSM still believes in the core values of the American Nazi party. Woman: A lot of today's neo-Nazi groups can be traced directly back to Rockwell. He's considered a hero in the neo-Nazi movement. At national socialist movement meetings they venerate him, they have a big poster of Rockwell and a big poster of Hitler side-by-side. They consider him a hero of the movement. He's an American Nazi. Narrator: Men from Rockwell's American Nazi party went on to form their own white supremacist groups like the National Alliance and Aryan Nations. In 1974, Richard Butler founded Aryan Nations on neo-Nazi ideology and the principles of Christian identify, a belief that set them apart from other groups. Aryan Nation's members do not wear the uniform of Nazi Germany, but they do embrace Nazi symbols. For nearly 3 decades, the group has been one of the most active neo-Nazi racist organizations. Aryan Nation's current leader, August Kreis believes Beaufort Forrow's 1999 attack on the Grenada Hills Jewish Community Center was a profound failure. He went into a Jewish day-care center, fired 70 rounds, one shot, one killed. That's the way it should have been. Kill em all, let God sort em out. Furrow's attack was rooted in the misplaced fear that the Jews are breeding whites out of existence and that the only way to protect the white race was to exterminate his enemies. [noise] Man 2: Violence is a necessary evil. A white society again is not going to be accomplished without violence. It's not. No amount of voting is going to change anything. Narrator: Aryan Nations lost its headquarters in Haden Lake, Idaho in September 2000 when a court ruled against them in a lawsuit brought by a mother and son who were assaulted while driving by the compound. But losing its headquarters did not destroy Aryan Nations. It merely scattered its members. Man 2: There's no way to destroy it now, going after 1 person is not going to help. Every time they do that, and they do away with a major organization, or try to do away with it, it breaks up into a lot of smaller organizations, so it's much harder to watch. You know, so they actually create more of a problem for themselves. |
