Hate finds a home in the Ozarks The Joplin Globe/January 2001 By Andy Ostmeyer
The Ozarks has been tagged as one of three centers of radical right extremism in the United States.
Part of the reason for that is an accident of geography: The rural, thinly populated rhythm of hill and hollow provides natural cover.
Part of the reason is historic: There are few blacks.
That is no accident.
A series of turn-of-the-century lynchings in the region prompted a black diaspora. Hundreds of blacks fled the Ozarks for larger cities. That was followed by a period of intense Ku Klux Klan activism. The result is a homogenized area that one person described as "whitewashed."
The people of the region also have deep religious convictions, a "don't-tread-on-me-and-I-won't-tread-on-you" attitude, and a wariness of government that borders on distrust and dates to the Civil War.
The latter characteristics provide another type of cover for radical right hate groups: cultural cover.
Into this mix came a preacher described as the greatest orator of his age. Gerald L.K. Smith, who made his home in the Ozarks, once was described as "the most prominent anti-Semite in America." Smith, a father of tourism in the region, also had ties to the first generation of Christian Identity leaders.
And, it was in the Ozarks that a survivalist Christian sect evolved into a racist, anti-Semitic organization that first proposed a violent act "with a large body count to make the government sit up and take notice."
The target was to be the federal building in Oklahoma City.
Arm of the Lord
President of his high school's Future Farmers of America, Kerry Noble said there is little in his middle-class, Baptist background to set him up as a key player in a violent hate group.
A charismatic minister, Noble was 25 in 1977 when he and his wife joined a group of Christian seekers led by James Ellison.
Noble said he and his wife were looking for a more authentic Christian experience, believing that other churches had become too secular, too hypocritical. But in less than a decade, that group evolved into something the federal government described as the "No. 2 domestic terrorist organization in the country." Noble was its No. 2 man, behind Ellison.
Noble said part of that group's beliefs - that Jews were not the children of God but the seed of Satan, and that white people were the supreme race - came after Ellison went to the Church of Israel, in Vernon County, and met its pastor, Dan Gayman.
The Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord, as Ellison's group eventually called itself, would be responsible for a church arson in Springfield and for bombing a Jewish Community Center in Indiana. As early as 1983, it talked of blowing up the federal building in Oklahoma City. Ellison and other members of the group even went to Oklahoma City at one point in the early 1980s to case the federal building, which Timothy McVeigh destroyed on April 19, 1995, killing 168 people.
An accident at the Covenant compound, and then a raid by local, state and federal officers, broke up the group before it carried out any more violent plans, according to Noble, who served more than two years behind bars for possession of unregistered weapons.
That raid began April 19, 1985 - 10 years to the day before McVeigh's attack.
Silhouette City
According to Noble, who now lives in Fort Worth, Texas, church members expected economic and social collapse, rioting, war, and even the possibility of nuclear war, and began preparing for those calamities.
Noble, who has since renounced his earlier views, said Ellison believed he was told by God to move away from heavily populated areas, believing there were not enough righteous people left in the cities to spare them. The group thought its only hope was a refuge in isolation.
"It had to be a certain distance from cities," Noble said.
Ellison drew a circle around cities with more than 100,000 people and eliminated everything within a hundred miles as a potential location.
"There were six or seven places in the country where those circles don't overlap," Noble explained.
That includes the Ozarks.
Eventually, Ellison and his group moved what they called the Zarephath-Horeb community to 224 acres of peninsula that spilled into Bull Shoals Lake. It was located between Oakland, Ark., and Gainesville, Mo.
Noble said the nearest town of any size was 40 miles away, and the nearest paved highway was nine miles away. One, maybe two, unfamiliar cars passed down that road in a month.
Most of the world, the group believed, was going to perish during a tribulation, and the members of the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord were going to be among the elect chosen by God to rebuild society. People who arrived at the compound needing help would be given help, but those who arrived with hostile intentions would be resisted with force.
To prepare for that, the group began stockpiling weapons, later converting some to automatic, and adding hand grenades and poison gas, as well as survival gear and food.
The CSA offered a course called "Endtime Overcomer Survival Training School," providing hands-on training in urban warfare, guns, wilderness survival and martial arts.
A mock village for military-style training also was erected. It was called Silhouette City, and eventually would feature pop-up, cut-out caricatures of blacks, Jews and law officers to use for target practice.
Center of extremism
Although the CSA was broken up in 1985, the Southern Poverty Law Center says 32 similar groups exist in the Ozarks today, some with connections to Ellison. These groups espouse the same anti-Semitic, separatist, racist message as the CSA.
"The Ozarks is one of the three big centers of radical right extremism in the country," said Mark Potok, spokesman for the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala.
The other two hot spots are the Pacific Northwest and the heavily wooded North Carolina and Tennessee borderland.
According to Potok, these three areas have an anti-federalist tradition that in the case of the Ozarks dates to the Civil War. That anti-federalist tradition, Potok said, includes everything from rebellious moonshiners to gangsters such as Bonnie and Clyde who hid out in, and occasionally shot up, the Ozarks.
Anti-government views are not the only common strain.
Christian Identity groups, as they are known, have more luck recruiting in areas where there are fundamentalist churches with strong apocalyptic beliefs than in areas where there are strong mainline Protestant and Catholic populations, Potok said.
"It's a shorter journey (theologically)," he said.
Noble said good candidates for the CSA included people who felt their churches were not Christian enough, who were looking for a more radical Christian experience.
Rex Campbell, rural sociologist at the University of Missouri, also said the Ozarks is populated with people who have a strong independent streak, a result of their Scottish-Irish heritage. They like to be left alone; in turn, they leave others alone.
"There is a real sense in the Ozarks of people minding their own business," Noble said. "Nobody asked any questions of us."
Living in an isolated area, having little contact with neighbors, played into the group members' hands, Noble said. It protected them but also resulted in increasing radicalization.
"Initially, we thought the isolation was our best friend," Noble explained. "It ended up being our worst enemy. That is part of what enabled us to become deceived."
'Whitewash'
There is something else that groups with racist and separatist beliefs are seeking: areas that Potok characterized as "very white."
Noble agreed, but noted that for members of his group, the anti-Semitic and racist beliefs came after they moved to the compound to prepare for the end.
But he said the Ozarks is a natural for groups with like-minded views.
"People who do want to get out of the cities, part of what they are looking for is more whiteness," he said.
Today, the Ozarks is an "exceedingly 'white' place," in the words of Jeffrey Nash, head of the department of sociology and anthropology at Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield.
Springfield, the Ozarks' largest city, is 3 percent black today; other cities are less so. However, at the end of the 19th century, some parts of the region had a much larger black population. Many historians think the black population was around 10 percent, although one census estimate put it as high as 25 percent in 1878.
In Joplin, blacks were among those attracted by the mining boom, and some blacks rose to own mine property. According to Joplin historian Gail Renner, "Some amassed considerable wealth." In Springfield, according to Nash, blacks owned the largest grocery store and held a seat on the school board.
Despite that, racial prejudice simmering just below the surface bubbled up in blood at the turn of the century with lynchings in Pierce City, Joplin and Springfield.
In 1903 in Joplin, a black man accused of shooting a police officer was dragged from his cell and hanged from a telephone pole at Second Street and Wall Avenue. That night, a mob burned the homes of other black residents. When firefighters arrived, their hoses were slashed.
According to Renner, "The next morning, many blacks packed their belongings and left by train. About 100 black families fled."
A similar episode erupted on Easter Sunday in 1906, when three innocent blacks accused of assaulting a white woman were lynched on Springfield's public square. A mob of 5,000 people threatened further violence and destruction, but the governor sent in troops to stop the mob.
Several hundred blacks in Springfield fled for St. Louis, Kansas City, Memphis, Tenn., and Tulsa, Okla., according to historian and Springfield resident Mary Newland Clary. She has heard the term "whitewash" used to describe what happened.
"Springfield experienced, along with the rest of the region, a diaspora of African-Americans," Nash said.
The following decades witnessed an outburst of Klan activity, including a rally attended by 1,500 hooded Klansmen in 1921 at Schifferdecker Park in Joplin.
Freeman Hospital was built, in part, with a donation of $10,086 made by the Klan, whose robed members received a standing ovation.
And Joplin's Connor Hotel, the city's symbol of cultural elegance, displayed a rooftop KKK sign during a rally in 1923 that attracted 1,300 marchers.
In Springfield, Klan members gathered at a cave that later became known as Fantastic Caverns, which is a popular tourist attraction today.
At the same time, industrializing cities were looking for cheap labor, providing other reasons for blacks to move to larger cities. The result was a decline in numbers and in clout for the black community, which at one time had one-third of the registered voters in Greene County.
Although many whites in the Ozarks organized to defend minorities and combat the Klan, the ultimate effect was "race homogenization," according to Nash, resulting in that "exceedingly white place."
Therein lies part of the region's appeal.
"I feel certain that the absence of African-Americans and Jews would be a major predisposing factor" in picking locations, said Michael Barkun, a professor of political science at Syracuse University and an expert on the Christian Identity movement.
The anti-Semitic link
Blacks are not the only ones targeted by the extremist right. Another theme of many of these groups is anti-Semitism, and here, too, the Ozarks has a connection.
A minister named Gerald L.K. Smith began publishing an anti-Semitic newspaper in 1942 called The Cross and the Flag. He published it with the help of a Kansas preacher, the Rev. Gerald Winrod, another anti-Semite, who believed Jews started World War II.
Approaching retirement in the early 1960s, Smith fell in love with the city that calls itself America's Victorian Village, Eureka Springs, Ark., and soon moved there. Although he left his publishing empire in California, he continued to run it from his home in Eureka Springs.
Barkun said Smith "was by the 1940s, and remained until his death in 1976, the most prominent anti-Semite in America."
Barkun also has linked Smith to the birth of something else, the Christian Identity movement, which views Jews not as children of God but as children of Satan.
In the words of the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord's propaganda: "We believe the Scandinavian-German-Teutonic-British-American people to be the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel which Jesus was sent for." Jews of today are not God's chosen people but are in fact an anti-Christ race, whose purpose is to destroy God's people and Christianity."
That destruction would come about in part because of "inter-racial mixing and perversions," and the fact that, according to the CSA, "Jews are financing the training of blacks to take over most of our major cities."
There is some disagreement among scholars about whether Smith was simply a straightforward anti-Semite or a Christian Identity believer himself. Arguments can be made either way, said Barkun.
But what is clear, according to Barkun, is that the Christian Identity movement in the United States developed with "a cadre of West Coast preachers, most in Southern California, and all in the orbit of the leading ultra right-wing figure of the 1940s and 1950s, Gerald L.K. Smith."
"He was kind of a connecting link."
Barkun said Smith had contact with the seminal Christian Identity figures in the country, including Wesley Swift and William Potter Gale, the latter of whom founded Posse Comitatus in the 1970s.
Smith's biographer, Glen Jeansonne of the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, said Smith himself never participated in or urged violence, even though his "extremist rhetoric" may have incited others to violence.
And, in fact, it would be the death of a Posse Comitatus member in an Ozarks shootout that led other extremist radicals, including the CSA, to plot revenge with a large body count.
Fated day
On Feb. 13, 1983, two federal marshals arrived at the North Dakota home of Gordon Kahl to arrest him because of a parole violation in connection with an earlier conviction for nonpayment of taxes. Kahl shot and killed both marshals. Federal officials caught up with him that summer in a farmhouse in the Arkansas Ozarks, and Kahl was killed in a shootout.
His death became a rallying point at the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord.
"It got the whole movement riled up," Noble said.
He said it was an honorary member of the group, Richard Wayne Snell, who first talked about blowing up the Oklahoma City federal building in retaliation for Kahl's death.
Snell was angry with the Internal Revenue Service, which had raided his home, and even took Ellison to Oklahoma City to case the federal building, Noble said. They were going to blast it apart with a rocket bomb.
But the two never were able to carry out their plans.
They were attempting to build a rocket when it exploded in one of the CSA member's hands, injuring him. The group saw that as a sign from God that the plan was not viewed favorably, Noble said. Instead, CSA members began conceiving a plot to kill a federal judge, a federal prosecutor and an FBI agent, but those plans, too, collapsed.
Eventually, the raid by officers ended any CSA plans, and Ellison, Noble and others went to jail.
After his release from prison, Ellison went to Elohim City, another Christian Identity compound near Muldrow, Okla., according to Noble. Ellison even married a relative of Richard Millar, the founder of that community.
Elohim City, which has ties to the CSA that go back nearly 20 years, is the place McVeigh called just weeks before the bombing.
Snell eventually would be convicted of murdering a black patrolman in Arkansas. Before that, he killed a pawnshop owner in Texarkana, Ark., whom he mistakenly believed to be Jewish.
He was sentenced to death and was executed at 9 p.m. on April 19, 1995 - 12 hours after McVeigh's truck bomb destroyed the federal building.
Snell is buried at Elohim City.

The only problem is our government's marxist masters are now importing "Wetbacks" into this great part of American. The Fact is the marxist tried to use the Black to destroy America, they could not do it. The Mexicans seem to be having better luck, sadly.

Checking school democraphics, I found many public schools in rural ozark counties had no blacks (0%), but almost all had some percentage of hispanics.
If Africa were bordering the USA, blacks would have long ago done to America what they've done to South Africa.

What they call "hate" is really love for your people, culture and way of life.
What they call "tolerance", is hate for your own people, culture and way of life (and tolerance for their destruction).
That simple.

Blacks naturally prefer city living than rural living. I guess cities offer more access to social services and it's less work to rob your neighbor.

I just returned from the Ozarks area this morning. Over the Memorial Day weekend I attended the Church of Jesus Christ's Patriot's Day Picnic.
The place is wonderful! I hope the people living there realize that they are living in paradise and that they need to keep it that way.

Yes those that "Hate" us crow and blow about their seemingly ineffectiveness to drive all Whites into the depths of hell and servitude to non-whites and non-white interests.
We will continue to exist as long as our God wants us to. :thumbsup:

We had a plumber around these parts that made a million, and then sold his
business to move to the Ozarks to get away from the congolians.
He did plumbing in "monkey" town for years and was so feed-up with the
congolians and their damn bongo parties, that he said he was leaving and never coming back. . . Another smart, intelligent, business man ran off by the congolians. . .
I've heard that alot of whites are leaving black infested areas and moving to places like the Ozarks and points out West. They'll run but eventually it'll all come full circle, the congolians and spanics now it.
It'll reach critial mass. . .
Heaven help us when it does..

I would say that SPLC is right to term a group that claims Jews are the children of Satan, 'a hate group.' Whether the group actually does this, I don't know, but there are such groups.
Where the SPLC, and this article, goes wrong, is in attempting to link this viewpoint with pro-Confederacy, anti-government, and 'right wing' culture. Equally pernicious is the suggestion that predominately white areas are 'whitewashed' (as 'one' individual put it) and somehow deficient.
How about featuring a story on NY as harboring countless black thugs who rape and kill whites?

Leave it to the neocons to pollute the Ozarks.
Check out [URL=http://www.evangel.edu/News/PressReleases/2002/20020905FootballGame1.asp]this[/URL] from the Evangel University website, they had to forfeit their 1988 football season because they had ringers. Football is important to neocons. At neocon "Christian" colleges, football teams serve to bring blacks to the campuses to win football games and date the naive white Christian girls. I bet a good percentage of these recruited blacks end up staying in these highly white regions, with their white girlfriends.
But, these "Christian" schools are not the only ones guilty. The secular universities and businesses spend a lot of time trying to bring non-whites to highly-white areas. Those Hispanics wouldn't be moving to Kansas unless someone is inviting them.

[QUOTE=golfball]What did Jesus Christ say of the Jews?[/QUOTE]
Why didn't you also emphasize verses 31 and 32?
Obviously the key factor here is not physically being a Jew, but rather belief or unbelief.
2004-06-14 22:44 | User Profile
Indeed.
I think the most operative passage here is: 'Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.' (34)
All who sin take the Devil as their father. To move from this to 'the Jews' are the 'children of Satan' is rather something else.
However, I do not think that this is what Smith claims. He does have some rather odd beliefs, however.
''When Jesus was born of Mary and identified by an angel from Heaven and witnessed by the Wise Men from the East, the area around Bethlehem and Jerusalem and the whole central area of what we now know as Palestine, was filled with evil corrupters who called themselves Jews, but were later referred to in the New Testament as the "synagogue of Satan."' [url]http://www4.stormfront.org/posterity/ci/smith16.html[/url]
It is difficult to tell what Smith means. Perhaps he is referring to Gnostics? This is a plausible claim if he means that, among the Jews, there lived many imposters. If he means that most of the so-called Jews were not Jews, then this is a major deviation from orthodox Christian history.

No, he's just using flowery language to label those Jews who rejected and persecuted Christ, the Gospel and the Church, such as the Pharisees and Sadducees. Nothing unorthodox there.

[QUOTE=Texas Dissident]Why didn't you also emphasize verses 31 and 32?
Obviously the key factor here is not physically being a Jew, but rather belief or unbelief.[/QUOTE] When Jesus Christ was talking, He was talking to a specific group. What race was He talking to? Remember, we are not to add or subtract from the context as Jesus Christ is not speaking to all of us, yet we are allowed to sit in and partake as listeners:
Jesus Christ was addressing this specifically at Jews, to Jews. (All Jews)
Why?
Because Judiasm teaches that Jesus Christ is a bastard. Jews also teach that the mother of Jesus Christ is a whore. Jews believe this and this is what Jesus Christ refers to in verses 41-43 41. [COLOR=Red]Ye do the deeds of your father.[/COLOR] Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 42. Jesus said unto them, [COLOR=Red]If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.[/COLOR] 43. [COLOR=Red]Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.[/COLOR]
Obviously the key factor here is that Jesus Christ CONFIRMS for all time that the Jews are of their father, the Devil. 44. [COLOR=Red]Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.[/COLOR] 45. [COLOR=Red]And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.[/COLOR] 46. [COLOR=Red]Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?[/COLOR] 47. [COLOR=Red]He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.[/COLOR]
Jews ARE NOT of God. Neither are Judeo-Christians, the (Apostate) spiritual brethren of the Jews.
When taken into context, the passages from verse 13 on confirms the fatherhood of the Jews.
John 8
Jews reject Jesus Christ because they are of their father, the Devil. Jews do the lusts of their father, Satan. Jews have done so in the past and continue to do so even today. Jews are not of God. Jews are the cursed and condemned.
Isaiah 65 1. I Am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. 2. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a [COLOR=Blue]rebellious people[/COLOR], which walketh in a way that was not good, after [COLOR=Blue]their[/COLOR] own thoughts; 3. A [COLOR=Blue]people[/COLOR] that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; 4. Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; 5. Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to [COLOR=Blue]me[/COLOR]; for [COLOR=Blue]I[/COLOR] am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. 6. Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into [COLOR=Blue]their[/COLOR] bosom, 7. [COLOR=Blue]Your[/COLOR] iniquities, and the iniquities of [COLOR=Blue]your[/COLOR] fathers together, saith the Lord, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure [COLOR=Blue]their[/COLOR] former work into [COLOR=Blue]their[/COLOR] bosom. 8. Thus saith the Lord, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all. 9. And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. 10. And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. 11. But [COLOR=Blue]ye[/COLOR] are [COLOR=Blue]they[/COLOR] that forsake the Lord, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that [COLOR=Blue]troop[/COLOR], and that furnish the drink offering unto [COLOR=Blue]that number[/COLOR]. 12. Therefore will I number [COLOR=Blue]you[/COLOR] to the sword, and [COLOR=Blue]ye[/COLOR] shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, [COLOR=Blue]ye[/COLOR] did not answer; when I spake, [COLOR=Blue]ye[/COLOR] did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not. 13. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, my servants shall eat, but [COLOR=Blue]ye[/COLOR] shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but [COLOR=Blue]ye[/COLOR] shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but [COLOR=Blue]ye[/COLOR] shall be ashamed: 14. Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but [COLOR=Blue]ye[/COLOR] shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit. 15. And [COLOR=Blue]ye[/COLOR] shall leave [COLOR=Blue]your[/COLOR] name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay [COLOR=Blue]thee[/COLOR], and call his servants by another name:
This new name is found in the book of Acts, chapter 11 verse 26, " And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch."
Those words in blue refer to the Jew and it's allies. The Word of God is everlasting.
