Dear Resistance Magazine,

I'm sorry to inform you that I cannot accept your one year complimentary subscription to Resistance Magazine. It is apparent that a once fine magazine has been reduced to nothing more than an advertisement for William Pierce, the National Alliance and the same old tried-and-failed tactics of the "so-called" organized movement that is parasitically affixed to the White cause.

In Issue #10 of Resistance, on pages 14-18, is Eric Hollyoak's (a pseudonym?) article entitled: "The Fallacy of Leaderless Resistance." This article is nothing short of journalistic racial treason! Resistance refers to "The Order" as an example of leaderless resistance, which it certainly was not. Resistance refers to "The Order" as "murderers" and "criminals," as an "embarrassment," and as being less than mature "grown-ups." Resistance slanders and insults the memory of Robert Mathews and the Bruders Schweigen, of which I was a member.

Contrary to the account in Resistance, the Bruders Schweigen was never leaderless, and it actually began with only four men, not eight. These four men, Bob, Bruce, Randy and myself, were who the media dubbed the "inner circle," We were the governing council, with Bob Mathews as the chief executive. Unfortunately, it was a democracy; we voted upon which courses of action to take. Expanding our membership was an option I voted against, three to one.

Resistance claims "The Order" was dedicated to creating an Aryan homeland in the Pacific Northwest. This concept is nothing more than law enforcement and media sensationalism, borrowed from the mainstream "movement" and erroneously attached to the Bruders Schweigen.

Resistance claims "The Order" believed in direct action against ZOG agents and their bureaus. This is yet another lie. The Bruders Schweigen never took any action against ZOG. We did, however, believe in armed self-defense when confronted by armed, enemy agents.

Resistance claims "The Order" murdered one of its own recruits. I can only assume the author refers to Walter West, who was never even considered for recruitment into the Bruders Schweigen. West was a member of Aryan Nations, not "The Order," The only potential recruit we should have and would have "murdered" is Tom Martinez, who was a consort of William Pierce and a member of National Alliance...

Resistance states that "The Order" shared its "loot with phone booth emperors who were vying for the same mailing list." This is true. It is also true that court transcripts identify one of these "phone booth emperors" who received our "loot" as the publisher of Resistance Magazine, William Pierce...

When the Bruders Schweigen was founded, much like today, there were no truly organized groups - and no true leaders. The groups that did exist were the floundering, stagnating remnants of the failed strategy of large scale memberships of organized resistance. The leaders of which, then and now, were nothing more than egoists, megalomaniacs, wanna-be dictators and propagandists - poseurs - pretending to be something they are not. They are not organized leaders with a viable and plausible plan to thwart our enemies and cultivate our folk cause. Profiteers, like William Pierce, a business man looking to make a buck, have exploited our folk and our cause, leaving the folk emotionally, spiritually and financially bankrupt. It happened to WCOTC, and now Pierce has set his sights upon exploiting the skinhead segment of our cause. Tom Metzger tried this and failed, so will Pierce. Skins are like modern day Vikings - each one a king! They have no leader - no chain of command. They do not create a carcass for the vultures to settle upon and devour.

Our enemies, and fear of being infiltrated, is only one aspect that makes leaderless resistance preferable to large scale resistance memberships. Aside from the fact that we have no leaders, there is a major shortage of truly sincere, loyal and dedicated adherents to our folk cause. They do not possess the necessary qualities required for organizational unity. Indeed, our worst enemies are those of our own household - the mentally imbalanced psychopaths, neurotics and poseurs among organized groups. The weak-minded and weak-willed are generally undetected until after the damage is done.

Hopefully the right conditions for unity and large scale, organized resistance will come. But that time is certainly not now, and I am skeptical that it will ever come again. That's right, again, because our leaders missed that bus long ago in America.

Yes, we of the Bruders Schweigen were not brilliant military strategists. We were just White men. We were ranchers, farmers, mailmen, lumber jacks, laborers, college students, husbands and fathers. We were not armchair strategists or inkpot warriors - critics of the fighters and sacrifices of men who are considered heroes of our folk. We were extraordinary White racialists. Contrary to Resistance allegations, we never expected to succeed in our efforts. We knew we would fail, die, be imprisoned. We did not ask for or require approval from anyone, nor did we require rear echelon support from the folk, we created our own. We sacrificed for and served our racial cause. We did not take advantage of or abuse our folk for filthy lucre sake.

To William Pierce and Resistance Magazine, I suggest you not worry too much about the "Jew distorted vicarious liability" of the system you claim we went on a "crime spree" against. After publishing what you did, I would worry more about the "loose cannons" still at large who can see through your thinly veiled veneer - to the racial traitor within!

Hail the Bruders Schweigen
and the 14 Words!
