HOW MANY JUSTPLAINPOLITICS.COM MEMBERS ARE WHITE SUPREMACISTS?
Wolves of Vinland is a small group based outside Lynchburg, Virginia. Members of the group—as well as their admirers in the white supremacist Internet-sphere—are surprisingly candid about their practices, beliefs, and goals.
Elements of their community are deeply disturbing, especially in light of the recent arrests of two neo-pagan white supremacists who lived just two hours north of them and allegedly conspired to bomb black churches.
The group has been around for about a decade, and is helmed by two brothers, Paul and Matthias Waggener.
“Honor and being a good man is based around never making your tribe look weak,” Paul Waggener said on YouTube.
In order to join, members must take oaths of loyalty to the tribe. “When I say tribe, family, whatever, that’s a very very well understood idea that these people are inside and those people are outside,” he added.
Reached for comment, the group didn’t dispute being characterized as white nationalist.
White nationalist Brad Griffin has praised the Wolves of Vinland’s efforts. “The bulk of WN is an online thing. There are only a handful of exceptions,” Griffin wrote. “I used to live in VA and saw first hand what the Wolves are building. It might be the leading example of a real world WN community in the North American continent.”
Photos show the members —often heavily tattooed— in the Virginia woods for ceremonies where they drink, spread mud and blood on themselves, dance around fires, and hold rituals in caves. They also sacrifice animals, sometimes posting pictures of the remains on Instagram and Facebook.
They crowd-funded an effort to build a viking long hall.
Wolves of Vinland has successfully recruited new members from organizations of some significance on the political right. Amanda Prevette, who’s listed as a marketing coordinator for the website World Net Daily, posted pictures on her Facebook updating her friends about the progress of building the viking hall.
