David Lane and the Fourteen Words

Abstract Although a relatively obscure figure, the late David Lane had a major impact on the ideology of the global white power movement. His '14 words' credo – 'We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children' – became a call for action for racial activists around the globe. Imprisoned for over twenty years for his involvement in a terrorist group called 'The Order', Lane was considered by many as the movement's most prominent 'POW'. His tracts on race, revolution and Norse neo‐paganism had a major influence on the extreme Right both in the Unites States and abroad.
