It is now a dark and dismal time in the history of our race. All about us lie the green graves of our sires, yet, in a land once ours, we have become a people dispossessed. By the millions, those not of our blood violate our borders and mock our claim to sovereignty. Yet our people only react with lethargy. A great sickness has overcome us. Why do our people do nothing? What madness is this? Has the cancer of racial masochism consumed our very will to exist?... Throughout this land our children are being coerced into accepting nonwhites for their idols, their companions, and worst of all their mates. A course which is taking us straight to oblivion. Yet our people do not see. Not by accident but by design these terrible things have come to pass. https://pic8.co/sh/CDn83G.jpg It is self-evident to all who have eyes to see that an evil shadow has fallen across our once fair land. Evidence abounds that a certain vile, alien people have taken control of our country. How is it that a parasite has gained dominion over its host? Instead of being vigilant, our fathers have slept. What are we to do? How bleak these aliens have made our children’s future. All about us the land is dying. Our cities swarm with dusky hordes. The water is rancid, and the air is rank… What is to become of our children in a land such as this? Yet still our people sleep!… By ones and by twos, by scores and by legions we will drive the enemy into the sea. Through our blood and God’s will, the land promised to our fathers of old will become the land of our children to be… We recognize that the mass of our people have been put into a lobotomized, lethargic state of blind obedience and we will not take part anymore in collective racial suicide! http://www.mourningtheancient.com/mathews2.htm (More on RJM here: https://www.stormfront.org/forum/t1077416/ https://archive.ph/fMsBm ) >Mathews was born in Marfa, Texas, the last of three boys born to Johnny and Una Mathews. His father, of Scottish descent, was mayor of the town and president of the Chamber of Commerce, and a businessman and leader in the local Methodist church. His mother was the town's den mother. His family moved to Phoenix, Arizona when he was 5 years old. An average student in grade school, he was interested in history and politics. At age eleven, he joined the anti-Communist John Birch Society. While still in high school, he was baptized into the Mormon faith. He became a staunch anti-communist and active in the Young Republicans. Mathews rejected the idea of going it college calling them “hotbeds of communism.” > Mathews began to read history and politics. One in particular,Which Way Western Man? by Willian Gayley Simpson, profoundly affected him. Mathews agreed with its dangers facing the white race, and in 1982 he began an effort to attract white families to the Pacific Northwest, which he called the White American Bastion. He visited Richard Butler's Aryan Nations a few times and he began to draw a circle of friends around him who held similar beliefs. In 1983, Mathews gave a short speech at a National Alliance convention, which was a report on his efforts around the White American Bastion and a call to action. It received the only standing ovation of the convention. On September 22, 1983 Bob Mathews along with eight others founded the Silent Brotherhood at his home in Metaline Falls, Washington. They included his friend and neighbor, Ken Loff, and a group from Aryan Nations: Dan Bauer, Randy ****, Denver Parmenter, Bruce Pierce, and David Lane. Richard Kemp and Bill Soderquist were recruited from the National Alliance. None had ever committed a violent crime before or had done prison time. > The first order of business, according to Mathews' plan, was to obtain funding needed to create and establish a territorial imperative, a sovereign ethno-state, and they carried out their first robbery which netted them $369.10. They agreed that it was not worth the risks they had taken and so turned their attention to robbing armored cars and counterfeiting. They printed up some fake $50 notes and 28 year old Pierce was quickly arrested after passing a few. In order to raise Pierce's bail, Mathews, acting alone, robbed a bank just north of Seattle. He stole almost $26,000. Some of The Order's members, along with a new recruit, Gary *********, carried out more robberies and burglaries, which netted them over $43,000. A subsequent robbery yielded several hundred thousand dollars. Another recruit, Tom Martinez, was caught and charged for passing more counterfeit currency. Then in July, 1984, they finally used a dozen men to rob a Brink's truck of $3,800,000. It is alleged the group distributed some of the stolen money to other racialist organizations. > Mathews and the other members of Silent Brotherhood were eventually ratted out by Martinez, who had come under pressure after his counterfeiting arrest. After he revealed information regarding Mathews activities to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Mathews was surrounded in a small cabin south of Coupeville, Washington on Whidbey Island by over 500 agents on December 8, 1984. Mathews refused to come out after an intense exchange of gunfire. The FBI fired flairs into the cabin setting it on fire. Eventually over 75 people in eight trials were convicted of crimes connected to the Silent Brotherhood. Charges ranged from racketeering, conspiracy, counterfeiting, transporting stolen money and armored car robbery. Comment >You missed out the part where he shot his way out of the FBI sting they set up in Portland Oregon to flee to Metaline Falls / Washington. Not many folks are capable of the aggression and skill to do that, but RJM was.
