Death of a Nazi

It was reported this week that Bruce Pierce, one of the members of the US nazi terrorist group, The Order, died in his prison cell on Monday.

Pierce was sentenced to 252 years imprisonment for the murder of Denver talk-show host Alan Berg in 1984. He was part of a Nazi terror group which attempted to kick-start a race war in the United States. Led by Robert Mathews, The Order declared war on America, or the Zionist Occupation Government (ZOG) as they liked to call it. They funded their war by a series of armed robberies and planned to disrupt the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and even poison the water supply of three major cities. The group eventually collapsed after a fire-fight with Federal officers on Whidbey Island, Washington state, in which Mathews died.

Despite the group’s abject failure they became an inspiration for wannabe nazi terrorists across the globe, including Britain. Living the dream of The Order was a key motivator behind the Will Browning faction within Combat 18. I remember Darren Wells, Browning’s right hand man who later worked undercover for me at Searchlight, tell how they wanted to emulate The Order.

“We were like kids in a candy store,” he told me. “We really thought we were going to do something which hadn’t been done before. The mood of those around Browning was electric. People were reading the stories of Robert Mathews and The Order and saying, ‘Yeah we want to do the same.’”

But just like Combat 18, Pierce and The Order were just crazy nazi fantasists, though a lot more dangerous.
