From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alex Linder (born 1966) is the owner and
operator of the Vanguard News Network (VNN), an antisemitic, white supremacist website[1]
launched in 2000. VNN is one of the most active white supremacist
sites on the Internet, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
Its motto is "No Jews. Just Right."
Linder echoes numerous Nazi sentiments, among them that "the thing
to be done about [the Jews] is to kill them, exterminate
them, get rid of them. You don't argue or reason with a cockroach;
you step on it."[2]
Background
According to the ADL, Linder has said he was raised an
"upper-middle-class suburban kid". The ADL reports that he
graduated with a bachelor's degree from Pomona College in Claremont, California, in 1988,
then worked as a researcher for CNN
on the Evans
& Novak
political show, and then at The American Spectator.[1]
Linder claims that the experience of working in mainstream
journalism opened his eyes to an institutional anti-white bias in
the field, and led him to take-up pro-white activism.
Political
life
Linder is an ex-member of the National Alliance, a
neo-Nazi, white-nationalist group. He left
after deciding to allow criticism of the National Alliance to
appear on the VNN forums.[1]
The ADL claims that in January 2005, Linder announced his
intention to set up the White Freedom Party, stating it was
"America's first political party advocating Aryan interests and specifically naming the Jew
as the agent of white genocide and greatest obstacle to our people's
self-preservation as a distinct and protected people." It
threatened to "WAGE NONSTOP WAR [sic] on the Jews, coloreds, and
mainstream sellouts ..."[1][3].
Lacking financial backing, the White Freedom Party is currently
dormant.
On May 26, 2007 Linder organized what has been described as a
"racially charged protest" linked to the Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom murder case in Knoxville,
Tennessee that attracted 30 supporters, around 60
counterprotesters, and 300 law enforcement officers. Linder fought
with police and was the only arrest.[4][5][6]
Linder maintains a website from his home in Kirksville, Missouri.
