One of the fastest-growing hate groups in the 1990s is the World Church of the Creator (WCOTC), based in East Peoria, Illinois, whose stated goal is "making this an all-white nation and ultimately an all-white world." After its founder and leader Ben Klassen killed himself in 1993, the group suffered a decline but was resurrected in 1996 by Matt Hale, 27. Hale was appointed "Pontifex Maximus," an ancient Roman title designated for the Church's supreme leader. Today, WCOTC has over 35 post office box addresses across the United States and two overseas. Members of the group have carried out aggressive leafleting and recruiting campaigns in various cities across the United States, including Sacramento, California, the site of three cases of synagogue arson in June 1999. In fact, WCOTC materials were found in the parking lot of one of those synagogues, Congregation Beth Shalom, during a Holocaust Memorial Day service in April 1999. The group, which includes a number of skinhead members, also operates 22 Web sites, including a site designed specifically to teach "racialist thinking" to young children and another geared toward recruiting women.

The group, whose battle cry is "RaHoWa" (Racial Holy War), proclaims that "Creativity," the ostensible "theology" of the Church, "is a racial religion whose prime goal is the survival, expansion and advancement of the White Race." For "Creators," as members of the hate group call themselves, "every issue, whether religious, political or racial, is viewed through the eyes of the White Man and exclusively from the point of view of the White race as a whole." Not surprisingly, WCOTC's ideology vehemently attacks Jews, Christians and Blacks and other people of color.

More at the site. It gets worse.

White supremacists are few and far between, they will a dying cause, not a growing movement. Honestly, how many Nazis do you personally know?

Look in your own spheres of acquaintance. Where is all the hate?

The overwhelming majority of "despisers" in my world are Democrats that hate President Bush. I know only one person who hates because of race or religion, and after he said he hated Jews, he is no longer part of our family's life. There was some guy in our city who tried to run for city council but was quickly denounced as a Nazi. I know a few people who hate atheists. And I know a few African Americans who THINK all whites hate them.
