Extremist Activities Affiliations

Throughout the 1970s the "National Emancipation of our White Seed" (N.E.W.S). spoke at Ku Klux Klan rallies, NSRP conventions and other extremist gatherings as an advocate for the Christian Identity movement. Christian Identity "influence ranges from Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi groups to the anti-government militia and sovereign citizen movements." Byron De La Beckwith associated himself with the party while delivering speeches with Tucker at an NSRP convention. [6] [7]

Dan Gayman became affiliated with the N.E.W.S and also assisted in the publication of its anti-Semitic publication, The Battle Axe News. [3] Later, both Tucker and Gayman conducted a tour of the west coast, at which time Tucker became associated with Richard Butler. Butler aligned his own church with the N.E.W.S. in 1976 before forming the Aryan Nations. [8]

On June 3, 1976, in Schell City MO., Tucker and Gayman, along with 34 other individuals, forced their way into the church Gayman's brother, Duane Gayman, as the "National Emancipation of our White Seed." [9] This altercation was the result over Duane Gayman's split from Dan Gayman's increasingly extremist congregation. [10] A clash with police occurred and Tucker, Gayman along with 10 others were arrested for trespassing. [11]

Dissolution

The party was dissolved by 1987. [1]

Christian Identity is an interpretation of Christianity which advocates the belief that only Celtic and Germanic peoples, such as the Anglo-Saxon, Nordic nations, or people of the Aryan race and people of kindred blood, are the descendants of the ancient Israelites and are therefore God's "chosen people". It is a racial interpretation of Christianity and is not an organized religion, nor is it affiliated with specific Christian denominations. It emerged from British Israelism in the 1920s and began to take shape during the 1940s-1970s. Today it is independently practiced by individuals, independent congregations, and some prison gangs.

The White Patriot Party (WPP) was an American anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist, homophobic, white supremacist paramilitary political party which was associated with Christian Identity and the Ku Klux Klan.

The doctrine of the serpent seed, also known as the dual-seed or the two-seedline doctrine, is a controversial and fringe Christian religious belief which explains the biblical account of the fall of man by stating that the Serpent mated with Eve in the Garden of Eden, and the offspring of their union was Cain. This event resulted in the creation of two races of people: the wicked descendants of the Serpent who were destined for damnation, and the righteous descendants of Adam who were destined to have eternal life. The doctrine frames human history as a conflict between these two races in which the descendants of Adam will eventually triumph over the descendants of the Serpent.
