Linder is an ex-member of the National Alliance, a Holocaust denier, white separatist, neo-Nazi, and white nationalist group. [8] [9] [10] [11] He left after deciding to allow criticism of the National Alliance to appear on the VNN forums. [4]
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reported that Linder announced in January 2005 his intention to establish 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 on the Jews, coloreds, and mainstream sellouts". [4] Lacking financial backing, the "White Freedom Party" is currently dormant.
In 2004, Linder began publishing a tabloid newspaper called The Aryan Alternative. Four issues were published as of July 2010—the first issue was published in mid-2004. Printing of the first issue resulted in 41,000 copies being distributed in 28 U.S. states. [12] The most recent issue, July 2010 (#4), was published in mid-2009. The newspaper is distributed for free, but donations for it are solicited online.
In articles he has written for The Aryan Alternative newspaper, Linder claims that Jews have been and are consciously engaged in a conspiracy that is implementing a systematic program of genocide to exterminate the Aryan race. [13]
