Linder Calls For NA-VNN Merger
Bids To Replace Strom



Saint Louis, Missouri --
Alex Linder, editor-in-chief of VanguardNewsNetwork, today called on the
National Alliance to fire Kevin Alfred Strom and merge with VanguardNewsNetwork
into one organization. "I'm ready, I know what to do, I want the job," Linder
stated today, in response to a letter from a reader, "Kevin Strom is not the
man to take the NA in the direction it needs to go. I am." Stating in a letter
posted in VNN's reader mail section that Strom was "hobbling" the National
Alliance and said he was possessed by "paranoid, myopic insecurity" that "has
prevented the National Alliance from taking off in membership and media."
Linder then called on the Board to remove Strom and bring in VNN and its
management team to run a reconstituted National Alliance. The move, if accepted
by the National Alliance Board, would combine the two strongest white
nationalist organizations into one entity, and may be the first move in a
larger campaign of "white unity" where numerous smaller organizations would
roll themselves under the National Alliance in a reconstituted white activist
movement. LSN sources indicated that a number of white activists, including
some former NA staffers who had been forced out by Strom, have been among those
contacted to explore the possibilities of this new white unity platform. Strom
is reported to have been a major opponent of this idea, and has been working to
block negotiations for VNN-NA unification for the past month. Among other
maneuvers, he has urged activists not involved in the negotiations to "shun"
VNN Amish-style, a tactic Strom may have learned from watching teenage girls
use social pressure to affect their interpersonal relationships. Strom claims
authority within the NA, but has no meaningful involvement in the group other
than delivering a weekly radio address. According to LSN sources, the National
Alliance Board of Directors has agreed to hold a special meeting within the
next week, the agenda of which is unknown.
