Vanguard America, group Charlottesville driver James Fields Jr. marched with, has increasingly become a neo-Nazi voice

The hate group crazed driver James Fields Jr. marched with before he mowed down a group of counter-protesters, killing one of them, has become a prominent neo-Nazi voice in the white nationalist movement, according to its opponents.
"They've definitely quickly become one of the premier organizations when it comes to the street demonstrations in the alt-right," Keegan Hankes, a research analyst with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), told the Daily News.
Vanguard America was one of several hate groups that swarmed upon Charlottesville, Va., on Saturday for the coming together of white nationalists.
Violence erupted in the Virginia town Saturday and only got worse when Fields sped his grey Dodge Challenger into a crowd of people killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer.

(58,280 posts)He used to post in the shortwave radio forum at Usenet about 10 - 15 years ago. He lives up in Stanardsville, which is the county seat of Greene County. Give me some time to think of his name.
There was a regular poster at his website who used the name Oliver P. Revilo. Google that, and you'll find this guy.
Kevin Alfred Strom. That's his name.
Maybe not. He ran an outfit called National Vanguard. He's been mentioned at DU a few times. Here's one:

(15,766 posts)Oliver left Washington, D.C. in 1945. He returned to the University of Illinois as an Assistant Professor, became an Associate Professor in 1947, and Professor in 1953.[citation needed] He published little in the academic press but later became known for politically conservative articles expressing anti-Semitism and white supremacy.
In November 1955, William F. Buckley, a graduate of Yale, founded the National Review, a magazine to express a conservative viewpoint.[6][dead link] He worked to increase its respectability, prohibiting publication by anti-Semites or extremists such as Oliver.
In 1958, Oliver joined Robert W. Welch, Jr. as one of the founding members of the conservative, anti-Communist John Birch Society.[citation needed] Oliver wrote frequently for the Birch Society magazine American Opinion. In 1962 Buckley repudiated Welch and the "Birchers", saying they were "far removed from common sense" and urging the G.O.P. to purge itself of Welch's influence.[7]

(87 posts)They are trying to "normalize" their appearance. I doubt they dress like this on a daily basis, but they are trying to look like Trump or members of country clubs. It's very much like when there's a wild-looking person going on trial, the defense attorneys try to make the person look much less dangerous: new hair-cut or style, button down shirt, glasses, etc.
