William Luther Pierce III was one of the main leaders of white nationalism in the United States. Although he died in 2002, Pierce helped create a legacy of hate still influencing racists in America today.
In his youth, Pierce worked with the founder of the American Nazi Party, George Lincoln Rockwell. He edited the party's magazine National Socialist World. Following his membership in the American Nazi Party, Pierce became the leader of the white separatist group National Alliance. During his early years as the leader of the National Allegiance, Pierce founded a "religion" he called "cosmotheism," which was a racist ideology based on white supremacy.
Pierce used the Internet and radio broadcasts to spread his racism. Pierce's work more often than not blamed the Jews as being the chief source of all of America's problems.
Pierce was best known for writing The Turner Diaries under the pseudonym Andrew Macdonald, a novel depicting an American revolution involving the extermination of all American Jews and non-whites. To this day, the book is very popular among white supremacists. Extremist groups such as Aryan Republican Army and The New World Order have claimed to draw inspiration from The Turner Diaries. The book gained national attention after Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, was turned out to have been greatly influenced by it.
Letting Jews into the United States was like giving smallpox-infected blankets to the Indians. They used us to break down the Old Order in Europe with two ruinous, fratricidal world wars.
