Supremacist newspapers delivered to Shaker residents By: DOUGLAS J. GUTH Senior Staff Reporter Hundreds of Shaker Heights residents awoke Monday morning to a message of hate on their doorsteps in the form of a white supremacist newspaper called The Aryan Alternative. The tabloid-style newspaper, which promotes hatred toward black people, Jews and Mexicans, was found by residents living along Shaker Blvd. and surrounding streets, says Shaker Heights police chief Walter Ugrinic. According to its masthead, The Aryan Alternative is published in Kirksville, Missouri. The tabloid claims that Jews started both world wars and includes talk of “hanging Jews.” Although he is “appalled” by the hate-filled publication, Ugrinic says its distribution is not illegal. However, because of the paper’s threatening tone, he will be sending copies to the FBI’s terrorism task force. Ugrinic doesn’t believe there is a direct connection between the paper’s distribution and the white supremacist march in Toledo. “It’s just another agitating tool,” he remarks. “My advice to people is don’t read it.” http://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/a...remist1021.txt |

Distributor: Police can’t interfere with Aryan newspaper By Brook Reinhard Staff Writer [email protected] Posted on Friday, October 21, 2005 ROGERS — The distributor of a whites-only newspaper called The Aryan Alternative said Thursday he plans to continue delivering the newspaper in Benton County, despite objections from neighbors and the Rogers Police Department. "We don’t pretend to be objective, and we don’t pretend to be a newspaper for all citizens," said Glenn Miller, distribution director for the 45,000-circulation tabloid based in Missouri. "We work for the interests of white people. Blacks, Jews, Hispanics all have hundreds of newspapers that work solely for their interest. And they don’t pretend to be objective either." Miller said he distributed about 700 papers in Benton County this week. Some neighbors complained to the Police Department, saying they did not ask for the paper to appear on their doorsteps. Rogers Police Department spokesman Cpl. Kelley Cradduck said he respects the First Amendment rights of Miller and The Aryan Alternative, but warned that delivering an unwanted product to Rogers residents could be a crime. "The statute of harassment specifically says it’s something in print (that) annoys, alarms or harasses another person," he said. "We can’t stop him from writing what he wants as long as it’s not threatening someone. But some of the stuff in there was obviously very offensive, and not just to African Americans. We will do everything we can to make sure our citizens are free of harassing, annoying and alarming material." The distributor said he won’t be cowed by the police. "Since the police are trying to intimidate us, … tell them I’m coming back with an even bigger batch to saturate the area with the newspaper," said Miller, adding that anyone who interferes with the rights exercised by a U.S. citizen is committing a felony. "They’re trying to intimidate us. They’re trying to intimidate us from passing out a newspaper." The newspaper, started last October and published in Kirksville, Mo., is in its fourth issue, Miller said. The paper has about 100 distributors and more than 200 financial supporters, and delivers or mails to communities in 28 states. He doesn’t publish the paper himself, but as distribution director and a member of the board of advisers, the retired U.S. Army master sergeant said he spends several hundred dollars each month promoting his beliefs as a white separatist and survivalist. "I believe the white race should have a right to survive, for crying out loud. It’s the most basic right imaginable," he said, adding that he views his mission as "to secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." Since passing out the tabloid in Benton County, Miller said he’s received four favorable responses and three negative ones from readers. He said homes for distribution were chosen by picking middle- and upper-income neighborhoods and stressed he wouldn’t be giving the paper to blacks, Jews or Hispanics if he could help it. "Your neighborhoods are highly integrated," he said. "Do you expect me to go knocking on every door and find out if it’s white? … I prefer not to distribute to minority houses because we’re not trying to recruit them. We’re not trying to teach them anything." Cradduck said he heard many complaints from minorities who felt targeted by the newspaper and didn’t believe Miller wasn’t targeting minorities. "Either he’s the unluckiest person in the world or he’s not telling the truth," Cradduck said. "He sure picked some pretty specific areas that weren’t right next to each other in town. I don’t think anybody with good common sense would assume it was an accident." http://nwanews.com/story.php?paper=b...&storyid=26776 |

White Separatist Newspapers Hit Lawns of Belle Meade Homes Posted: 10/21/2005 4:00:00 PM Updated: 10/21/2005 5:19:25 PM The newspapers were delivered to several homes in Belle Meade and were filled with hate toward minorities and Jews. Police are investigating the delivery of the newspaper called "The Aryan Alternative." It is published by an anti-semitic group out of Missouri. Belle Meade Police believe dozens of the newspapers were delivered all over the affluent neighborhood. Some residents called police, but there's not much the police department can do. “They did go from house to house and did deposit paperwork that the people did not request or didn't ask for. They left it which in Tennessee is littering,” said Tom Sexton of the Belle Meade Police Department. The detective said the only way to charge anyone with littering is to catch them do it. Metro Police are also investigating. http://www.newschannel5.com/content/news/15163.asp |

Aryan newspaper’s distribution garners complaints in Rogers By Brook Reinhard Staff Writer [email protected] Posted on Thursday, October 20, 2005 ROGERS — A white supremacist newspaper distributed unsolicited literature to dozens of homes in Rogers on Tuesday, drawing complaints from a number of neighbors. "Just hateful, full of hate stuff," said Cpl. Kelley Cradduck of the Rogers Police Department in describing the material. The Police Department spokesman said several homes owned by black families or that are next door to black families were targeted, as well as the entire 2300 block of West Hemlock and the 3000 block of West Margaret. "We had a white lady, a Hispanic, an African American complain — nobody wants this in their neighborhood," Cradduck said. "Nobody." The newspaper, called The Aryan Alternative, is published out of Kirksville, Mo. Cradduck said an off-duty police officer saw a man in his 50s distributing the papers but didn’t think anything of it at the time. If the man distributing the papers is located, he might be charged with a misdemeanor for harassment, Cradduck said. While the content of the paper is probably protected under the First Amendment, distributing unsolicited copies may not be. "The difference is the communication is offensive," he said, referring to a harassment statute that makes it unlawful to "harass or cause alarm" to anyone through anonymous or direct communication. The paper has plenty to say about Jews, Mexicans, blacks, civil rights and hate crimes. It depicts Jews in a caricature evoking Nazi propaganda — older unshaven males with huge hook noses and shifty eyes — as it includes reminders for the reader to "keep yourself pure, keep yourself white." "The contents of this publication are 100 percent protected by the First Amendment, and anyone who tells you otherwise is a publicschool victim, a jew or a misinformed cop," the paper states on Page 2. One Rogers resident who received the paper said he was surprised by its contents but said he wouldn’t want to see criminal charges brought against anyone for distributing it. "I thought it was a piece of trash because we pick up the trash on Tuesday," said Coleman, who didn’t want his last name used. A father of four and an African American, Coleman lives off Walnut Street. "It was kind of shocking at first, then I started thinking about it: It’s the First amendment; they can write whatever they want," he said. "I believe in the First Amendment right. I believe people should be able to say anything they want in America. I would die defending that right. " I don’t agree with what they have to say, and I don’t want to read their literature, so if it comes again, I’ll just throw it away. " http://nwanews.com/story.php?paper=b...&storyid=26724 |

Racist paper lands on lawns By Don Seiffert/ Staff Writer Wednesday, November 9, 2005 Residents who found a copy of a white-supremacist, anti-Semitic newspaper on their front lawns this week can expect more where that came from in coming months. The head of distribution for the Aryan Alternative Newspaper, based in Kirksville, Mo., which was delivered last week to about 500 households in a handful of communities in eastern Massachusetts, said there are plans to deliver the newspaper to more homes more often. Glenn Miller, the distribution manager of the paper and a contributing writer, described the publication as a "pro-white" alternative to the "anti-white bias" in the mainstream press. The newspaper comes out quarterly, and 44,000 copies of the most recent issue were printed and delivered nationwide. But he said that there are plans to make it a monthly, and to increase the circulation in the Newton area from 500. He explained that the paper has about 20 individuals who distribute it to a few communities in eastern Massachusetts, including Newton and Stoughton. It's up to those individuals how many copies they choose to order and deliver, said Miller. Miller said none of the local distributors would likely be willing to speak to the newspaper. Asked why he thought Newton was among the few chosen communities in Eastern Massachusetts, he said, "simply because white people are there." Miller said that for every 500 newspapers that are delivered, three or four residents typically call the local police to complain. "That tells me a lot of people agree with it," he said. Bruce Apotheker, spokesman for the Newton Police, confirmed that after last week's delivery, "two or three" complaints came in. Apotheker said that while police show up to homes to respond to the complaints, officers do not search for the newspaper, nor pick it up off residents' lawns, although some residents themselves apparently collect and dispose of them from neighboring lawns. Apotheker said the delivery of the paper can only be considered a crime if the paper appears to target a minority, such as if it's delivered to just one home on a street which happens to be inhabited by a minority. He also said that under some circumstances, the delivery of the paper could violate littering laws. Rebecca Leiter, a Newton Highlands resident, said she called the police after the paper appeared on her front lawn last Monday, Oct. 31. She said a number of residents on the street had all received it, and her initial reaction "was to ignore it." However, she decided to call the police, and then call the Newton TAB, because "if everyone ignored it, the people who [publish the newspaper] would be able to persuade more people to their cause." Miller said that anyone who receives the newspaper but doesn't want it can call him at the phone number on page two (417-463-7703) to stop delivery. In the course of speaking to the TAB, Miller complained that the Aryan Alternative Newspaper (www.govnn.com) is often wrongly stereotyped along with other, similar publications. "All pro-white newspapers are lumped together, no matter how moderate ... That's bigotry. That's absurd," he said. http://www2.townonline.com/newton/lo...ticleid=363415 |

Police probe distribution of racist newspaper
11/09/05 by bob allen It was no treat when some residents in the Sparks-Glencoe, Phoenix, Sherwood Hills and other nearby Cockeysville neighborhoods found copies of a racist hate publication called The Aryan Alternative on their lawns or doorsteps on Halloween. Capt. Martin Lurz, commander of the Cockeysville Precinct of the Baltimore County Police Department, said that over a 24-hour period beginning 5 p.m. the night of Oct. 31, the precinct received roughly 20 complaints about the newspaper. According to police, most copies of the paper were folded and wrapped in rubber bands so that they looked like a small package. The newspaper's cover, which featured sensational headlines and slogans such as "The White Race ... down but not out!" was not visible until the rubber bands were removed and the tabloid-style publication was unfolded. According to information in the paper, The Aryan Alternative is published by an Alex Linder, who lists a Kirksville, Mo., post office box. Exactly who distributed the provocative 16-page publication in Baltimore County is unknown. "We're taking a look at it," Lurz said. According to notices in the paper, The Aryan Alternative has a print run of about 50,000 copies and is "distributed nationwide on college campuses and white neighborhoods." One advertisement offers copies in bulk to distributors at $15 for 100 copies. Though many object to the racial slurs, innuendoes and slogans ("Civil Rights Means Dead Whites" and "The Plot of the Jewish Mind," for example) in The Aryan Alternative, it is legal to publish and distribute it, Lurz said. Even so, according to Lurz, "it's offensive to a lot of people, and it causes fear and concern." Tamar Kipper, assistant director of the Washington-based Anti-Defamation League, said that, judging from reports she has gotten, The Aryan Alternative has also been distributed widely in parts of Virginia and North Carolina. "It seems they have stepped up their campaign," Kipper said. According to information on the Anti-Defamation League's Web site, Vanguard News Network, which publishes The Aryan Alternative, was started by Linder in Missouri in August 2000. According to the league's posting, the publication and Vanguard News' Web site, www.vanguardnewsnetwork.com, are: "extremely anti-Semitic and racist, and tend to denigrate women. Mr. Linder considers his (messages) to be a form of satirical humor, but they are generally considered crude, even within the white supremacist community." Lurz said many of the complaints the police department received had to do with the crudity. Some residents expressed concern about young children seeing the paper. Children were the main concern of one Hunt Valley resident who contacted the Towson Times after finding a copy of the paper on her doorstep; she asked not to be identified for fear of retribution. "We've never gotten something like this before," she said. "The timing is disconcerting; they delivered it at a time (Halloween) when kids would be out. I guess these people don't draw the line." Kipper said it's important for people to realize that the newspaper is not just intended to serve as a recruitment tool but also to scare people. For at least one Hunter Run area resident, the scare tactic worked. "I was outside and a lady who lives near me came down and was talking about (finding the publication on her doorstep), and she was very upset," said the resident, who also asked that her name be withheld. "She said there is an Asian family that lives near her, and there was a copy of it on their windshield." The furtive distribution of the publication "doesn't necessarily mean there is a big number of white supremacists in the neighborhood," Kipper said. "People should be aware and contact the police and the Anti-Defamation League, but they should also be aware that part of the purpose is to scare them." According to Kipper, the Internet has made such surreptitious mass distribution of hate literature easier. Certain Web sites allow for anyone to print hate pamphlets and propaganda, then distribute the literature under cover of darkness. In response, the Cockeysville Precinct sent its four- member community outreach team into the neighborhoods where the paper was distributed sometime during the late afternoon or early evening Oct. 31. The outreach team has knocked on doors and spoken with residents in an effort to squelch unfounded rumors, suspicions and fears. "We give them the facts," Lurz said. "No one was specifically targeted, no property was destroyed, and no laws were broken" in connection with the publication's distribution. "In dealing with things like this in the past, these people will hit an area, then they go away." Lt. Robert McGraw of the Cockeysville Precinct said most residents the outreach team talked to were either unaware of or indifferent to the publication. "The vast majority of people, to be honest with you, thought it was either an advertisement or junk mail, and they didn't even open it," McGraw said. "They just threw it away." Lurz said that in the past there have been similar incidents - what he calls "leaflet drops" - in other parts of northern Baltimore County and south-central Pennsylvania, but not in the Cockeysville area. http://news.mywebpal.com/news_tool_v...localnews&om=1 |

MOUNTAIN MESSENGER Lewisburg. West Virginia Late-night hate literature distribution By David Cottrill Some time after 11 p.m. Saturday night, white supremacists distributed hate literature in downtown Lewisburg, a newsletter called The Aryan Alternative. Three alert college students, noting the contents of the screed, gathered up 54 of the folded diatribes and, after photographing the stack, burned the newsletters. Two local businessmen picked up many and trashed them early Sunday morning. Some were inserted through mail slots in the doors of Washington Street businesses. The newsletter is published by Alex Linder in Kirksville, MO. It is not known who dispensed the material. In addition to the usual supremacists’ attacks on Blacks, Jews, Mexicans, etc., "Linder takes on "our feminized legal system … So far from oppressing women, the current system elevates them over men in every possible way." "The Aryan Alternative is distributed nationwide on college campuses and in white neighborhoods," noted the publisher, "to encourage them to recognize and defend their racial interests." http://www.mountainmessenger.com/

Benton County Daily Record Benton, Missouri National Perspectives : Phooey on multiculturalism Benton County Daily Record Posted on Monday, November 14, 2005 Multiculturalism is a poison pill prepared by people who hate America. The poison lies in the fact that every race and ethnic group in the world is to be honored except Caucasians of European descent. Any such showing of pride is to be labeled "Nazism" or "white supremacy." Both charges are bosh, of course. As part of the multicultural argument, it is often claimed that the United States has always been multicultural and multilingual. That is true only in a technical sense. Nearly all of the early immigrants were from Europe — mostly northern Europe, mostly Protestant Christians — and most all aspired to learn English if they didn’t know it. Read what John Jay says in the second of the Federalist Papers: "With equal pleasure I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people — a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general Liberty and Independence." Does that sound like multiculturalism to you? It is easy to forget in today’s Orwellian world that the 13 original colonies, which became the 13 states, were all English colonies established by Great Britain. They were peopled largely by English, Irish, Scots and Welsh, with a smattering of Germans, Dutch, and French Huguenots. It is also easy to forget that these people lived in English colonies under English laws for nearly © years before they declared their independence. When we speak of the American system of government, we are speaking of a direct derivative of the British government. The human rights we cherish and the English common law on which, at least in the past, our own laws were based were all from the green isles of the United Kingdom. An American who doesn’t know English history cannot know American history, and unfortunately, such people are legion these days. It’s tragic that Native Americans living in the Stone Age were overwhelmed by a flood of immigrants who were technologically advanced. It is unfortunate that slavery was introduced to the nation. It’s unfortunate that after the War Between the States, greedy industrialists in the North opened the floodgates to immigration, in part to settle the lands they had stolen from the American people. It’s doubly unfortunate that foolish liberals in the United States in 1965 passed an immigration law that opened the doors to practically everyone except Europeans. Our nation, like all others, has its share of tragedies, mistakes and crimes, but that should never detract from the great accomplishments of the American people, particularly those men who founded this country. As I have said before, I have been called an ethnic junkie because so many of my dearest friends are firstgeneration immigrants from Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, the Middle East and Europe. I have no problem with people from anywhere, but it is time to stop this steady degradation of American children’s European ancestors in textbooks and movies. They were not villains, and they produced one of the most advanced and culturally rich societies the world has ever known. The idea, for example, of damning men like George Washington just because he owned slaves ought to be considered by all Americans an abomination. Certainly in a civilized nation one ought to be able to celebrate one’s ancestors without demeaning those of others. We should have no room for haters in this country, unless, of course, you want to fight all of the old wars all over again. If so, don’t beat around the bush — speak up. If American children don’t grow up proud of their country and its history and their heritage, then I don’t see how they are going to preserve it. I assume most Americans still think it is worth preserving. Or do most Americans see it only as a huge shopping mall between the Atlantic and the Pacific? • • • Charley Reese writes for King Features Syndicate. He can be reached at P. O.

Hate Mail Delivered to Central Virginia Posted: May 21, 2009 01:52 PM Updated: May 21, 2009 05:29 PM Families in Crozet and Waynesboro woke up Thursday morning to find white supremacist flyers outside their homes. Copies of "The Aryan Alternative" were let up and down the streets leaving families on edge. "Obviously, they're very sick people. That's my opinion," said Toni Conley who lives in Crozet. Conley found the paper on her driveway. She picked it up, believing it to be a normal paper, but the messages inside were not what she expected. "I looked at some of the different titles to the different articles and it blew me away," said Conley. Although Conley wasn't the only Crozet resident to receive the delivery, she doesn't understand why neighborhoods in the small town were a target. "I couldn't believe little Crozet. I just feel so sheltered by the mountains," said Conley. Papers showing up in Waynesboro left people on both sides of the mountain offended, but the racist papers are entirely legal. "There is no unprotected category of speech called 'hate speech,' it is in fact protected by the first amendment," said Josh Wheeler, Associate Director of the Thomas Jefferson Center for Protection of Free Expression. Unless the words are threatening or encourage illegal behavior they're fair game. "Government shouldn't have the ability to punish us just for the thoughts we have," said Wheeler. Some say, in a way, the papers are a good way to inform the public of who's in their backyard. "It gives you an orientation that there's a potential nucleus for a cell or group of people in this area or region that believe in this ideology," said Julio Trigo, a Crozet resident. Others, including Conley, would rather see people follow the old saying we've heard time and time again. "If you don't have anything nice to say in a way you know keep to to yourself, have your beliefs," said Conley.

Neo-Nazi Paper Shows Up in Crozet; Residents Are Angry, Scared Posted: 4:30 PM May 21, 2009 Last Updated: 4:30 PM May 21, 2009 Reporter: Mark Tenia Email Address: [email protected] 1 comments A | A | A May 21, 2009 A Neo-Nazi newspaper is showing up in local mailboxes. It's happening in Crozet, although the newspaper is printed in Missouri. Residents are furious, saying they don't want it. Around 7:00 pm Wednesday (5/20) night some people in Crozet found an Aryan Alternative newspaper, touted as "news and commentary from a white perspective", sitting in their driveways. Many neighbors are livid, saying the paper is nothing but racist hate speech. It was hand delivered to their homes, which they find unsettling. Some Crozet residents are even fearful for their safety. CBS19 talked with one person who didn't want to appear on camera because he was afraid he'd be targeted by the paper's distributors. "I can't explain the emotions that I went through. I mean you run the gamut of all emotions when you pick up something like that, especially so close to your house," says one Crozet Resident who found a copy of the offensive paper in his driveway. The publisher of the paper says it's merely an educational tool and anyone that doesn't want it can simply call his number, which you can find in the paper. But the people who found the paper on their doorsteps aren't happy with that answer, saying they're looking into the possibility of taking legal action to try and keep Neo-Nazi papers out of their neighborhoods. Here is the lead story on the CBS station. I'll answer some of the non-sense reported in these stories later, of course not one paper was put in a mailbox and they know that. |
