White Supremacist Group Plastering North Texas Communities With Flyers

North Richland Hills, The Colony, Wichita Falls and Archer City all have been recent targets of flyers by Patriot Front, a Texas-based white supremacist group.

Some of the flyers say, “Keep America American” and encourage people to report “any and all illegal aliens,” calling them criminals. Some are as inconspicuous as dog whistles: “To Ourselves and Our Prosperity” and “Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Victory.”

But they’re all propaganda tools used for recruitment into the group, according to investigative researcher Carla Hill from the Anti-Defamation League, who says Patriot Front is second only to Identity Evropa, an alt-right group whose propaganda also has nationwide reach.

Patriot Front is classified as a white nationalist group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a neo-Nazi group by It’s Going Down and a white supremacist organization by the Anti-Defamation League. The group is a breakaway from American Vanguard, another hate group, and was formed after the Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last year.
