Former U.S. Army Officer Re-Launches Notorious Hate Group
National Alliance (NA) chairman Erich Gliebe has shut down the group’s constellation of websites, suspended recruiting and continues liquidating what is left of the NA’s assets, including attempting to sell off a 289-acre portion of the group’s West Virginia compound, where deceased founder, William Pierce, was buried a decade ago.
But now, two former senior Alliance members have announced their intention to reform what remains of what was once America’s most influential neo-Nazi organization and bring it again to glory: one a retired Army special forces operator, the other a convicted pedophile with a long history on the racist right.
William W. Williams, 66, a former U.S. Army Special Forces officer, has partnered with broadcast engineer, Kevin Strom, 57, and announced plans to rebuild the Alliance using a barn on Williams’ remote property in Mountain City, Tennessee as a base of operations.

But Williams, an outspoken and self-described “biological racist,” remains one of the most respected membership coordinators in the history of the Alliance, and he has high hopes.
