GWU.edu (p. 22) "Beam was one of several prominent Klan leaders during this time to adopt not only elements of Odinism but Christian Identity as well."
LAT Joining him in the lineup of speakers is Louis Beam Jr., a former Ku Klux Klan member from Texas and an Aryan Nations organizer who is also a staff writer for the California-based Jubilee newspaper, which is sponsoring the weekend event.
SPLC "Louis Beam is well known as the former Texas Klan leader who advocated the murder of government officials, a one-time resident of the FBI’s most wanted list and the “ambassador-at-large” for the neo-Nazi Aryan Nations. But the near-legendary leader of the radical right is also an Identity proselytizer who has written for The Jubilee, the nation’s leading Identity publication, and has spoken at several major Identity conferences."
When Hate went Online (p.3) by Chip Berlet "Better known was the Aryan Nations "Aryan Liberty Net," which went online sometime in the Spring of 1984. The network was implemented by Louis Beam, a leader of various Texas Ku Klux Klan (KKK) factions who worked closely with Richard Butler, the leader of the Aryan Nations Christian Identity compound in Idaho"
Time - Online Extremism Is Decades in the Making - 2024 Louis Beam, the Aryan Nations’ “ambassador at large” and a former Grand Dragon of the Texas Ku Klux Klan, devised the first large-scale use of technology to further far-right extremism...A 1982 conviction on misdemeanor charges of conducting paramilitary exercises on federal land without a permit prompted Beam to resign as Grand Dragon and head to Idaho — where he’d take up residence at the Aryan Nations’ Hayden Lake compound.
NYT 2021 Mr. Beam and his cohort were looking to foment a race war, which they hoped would lead to the creation of a white ethno-state. With that in mind, he and other movement leaders declared war on the U.S. government at the 1983 Aryan Nations World Congress at the organization’s compound in Hayden Lake, Idaho...Members of the Order, a secretive offshoot of the Aryan Nations of which Mr. Beam was rumored to be a part, robbed a series of armored cars in Washington and California. In Denver, they shot a Jewish radio show host to death in his driveway. As all of this was happening, the online proselytizing ramped up. Mr. Beam began his Liberty Net online bulletin board system in 1984.
SPLC - The Carnage Takes Off In the last six years, Identity has reached farther than ever before. The faith got a major boost in 1992, when 160 “Christian men” met in Estes Park, Colo., to chart the future of the extreme right. It was here that the strategy of “leaderless resistance” — actions undertaken by hard-to-infiltrate cells answering to no one — was popularized. Here, too, began a new toning down of racist language, with the aim of recruiting into a “patriotic” movement targeting the federal government. And it was here that a new coalition, bringing Klansmen, neo-Nazis and extreme fundamentalists into a movement built on Christian Identity, was born. “For the first time in the 22 years that I have been in the movement, we are all marching to the beat of the same drum,” Louis Beam, a former Klansman and Identity diehard then representing the neo-Nazi Aryan Nations, told the group.
