From KTVZ.COM news sources

Leaders of the Aryan Nations say they want to move the white supremacist group's headquarters from Idaho to the Eastern Oregon community of John Day, the Blue Mountain Eagle newspaper reported last week.

Paul R. Mullet, who said he's national director of the movement, was in John Day, looking at property to buy for a new "national compound," according to the article posted Wednesday by Editor Scotta Callister on the paper's Website, www.bluemountaineagle.com.

Callister reported, "The visit stirred concern in many quarters, where residents worried about the neo-Nazi sentiments of the movement and the negative impact that it could have on the community."

The group teaches that the white race is the only one descended from Adam, and that Jews and non-whites are the natural enemies of white people.

The mission, outlined on the group's Website, is to create a state for the "Aryan race," separate from all non-whites, and a "lawful Congress of our race."

Mullet, wearing a uniform shirt with a swastika patch on it, told the newspaper the group's goal is to create a homeland for white people.
