Holocaust Museum Shooter Had Close Ties to Prominent neo-Nazis
Law enforcement officials have identified the suspect in the Holocaust Museum shootings as James Wenneker von Brunn, born in 1920, from the Eastern Shore of Maryland. D.C. Police Spokeswoman Traci Hughes reportedly said the suspect walked into the museum at about 1 p.m. ET with a rifle and shot a guard.
Von Brunn runs the website holywesternempire.org, which was listed in 2008 as a hate site by the 澳彩开奖. Von Brunn has a long history of associations with prominent neo-Nazis and Holocaust deniers. In the 1980s or early 1990s, von Brunn was employed by Noontide Press, a part of the Holocaust denying Institute of Historical Review, which was then run by Willis Carto, one of America鈥檚 most prominent anti-Semites.
Von Brunn is the author of the 1999 book, 鈥淜ill the Best Gentiles,鈥� a racist and anti-Semitic tome that argues that whites are seeing 鈥渢oday on the world stage a tragedy of enormous proportions: the calculated destruction of the White Race and the incomparable culture it represents. Europe, former fortress of the West, is now over-run by hordes of non-Whites and mongrels.鈥� A raging anti-Semite, von Brunn blames 鈥淭he Jews鈥� for the destruction of the West. The book is dedicated to prominent neo-Nazis and racists including Revilo Oliver and Wilmot Robertson.
In 2003, AP reported that von Brunn had painted a portrait of Rear Adm. John Crommelin, a raging anti-Semite who was a close associate of neo-Nazi William Pierce, whose book The Turner Diaries inspired Timothy McVeigh鈥檚 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building.
On his website, von Brunn also claims that in 1981, while wearing a 鈥淟ondon Fog raincoat to conceal his weapons,鈥� he attempted to put the whole Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve under 鈥渓egal, non-violent citizens-arrest.鈥� He wanted 鈥渢o bind their hands and persuade them to appear on television.鈥� The website says he was sentenced to 11 years for his actions.
A raging anti-Semitic and racist posting on the website arsenalofhypocrisy.com attributed to "James Von Brunn" says that "the Federal Reserve Act (1913) gave JEWS control of America's Money." It also says that "America is a Third-World racial garbage dump--stupid, ignorant, dead-broke, and terminal." It ends with, "Prepare to die, Whitey."
