  3. Security Threat Groups What is a Security Threat Group (STG)? A formal or informal ongoing group, gang, organization or association consisting of two or more members who have a common name or common identifying sign, color(s), or symbol(s). A group whose members/associates engage in a pattern of gang-type activity or violation of laws/regulations.

  4. Security Threat Groups In The Military? Are there currently active groups of individuals forming street type gangs and extremist groups on Military Installations? From research gathered from the US Army, US Navy, and US Air Force, there is no evidence that groups of servicemen or women are forming what would be considered “Street Gangs” or “Hate Groups” solely based on military installations.

  5. Security Threat Group Membersin the Military? There is ample evidence that members of the Armed Forces have had previous, or have current and active contact with criminal street gangs or extremist groups. There are members of these groups currently on active duty with the military.

  6. What Has the Army Provided Commanders for Use to Combat These Groups? AR 600-20, para. 4-12, A, dated 20 December 1996: Participation: Military personnel must reject participation in extremist organizations and activities. Extremist organizations and activities are ones that: 1) advocate racial, gender, ethnic hatred or intolerance 2) advocate, create, or engage in illegal discrimination based on race, color, sex, religion or national origin 3) advocate the use of, or use force, violence or unlawful means to deprive individuals their rights under the United States Constitution, the Laws of the United States, or the laws of any one state.

  7. How do service members get involvedin these groups? The service members in almost every case have had prior membership in these groups and merely re-associate themselves with local groups through contact at night clubs, malls or public events. Gang members can spot other gang members with little trouble as this is a survival technique they have learned since they were first initiated into gangs. Soldiers involved with extremist groups usually get recruited while in the service or had some contact before entering the military.

  8. Is Prior Security Threat Group Affiliation a Safety Issue? Prior affiliation is not a safety issue within the military for two main reasons. 1. Military installations and surrounding areas are initially considered neutral turf, and therefore association with those considered rivals is not an issue. 2. The service member does not usually have other members of his group with him and does not have to live up to their expectations.

  9. How Are Security Threat Group Members Identified? • Military Law Enforcement utilizes several different methods to identify potential gang/extremist members within the ranks: • Extensive use of “Health & Welfare” Inspections by • Commanders who find gang/extremist paraphernalia. • Direct contact with Local Law Enforcement Agencies who • identify gang members through direct contact. • Mandatory Tattoo checks conducted by Commanders and • in-processing personnel upon arrival at the installation. • Direct contact with Military Police through routine traffic • stops or routine case work. • Information provided by Confidential Sources.

  27. Terminology ZOG = Zionist Occupational Government 88 = Heil Hitler 18 = Adolph Hitler CSA = Covenant of Sword and Arm of our Lord COTC= Church of the Creator IDENTITY = White Race is the True Israel of the Bible 14 Words = We must secure the existence of our race and a future for white children RAHOWA = Racial Holy War AN = Aryan Nations 3 x 11 = 11th letter of the alphabet K - KKK AKIA = A Klansman I Am ORION = Our Race is Our Nation 4/20/89 = Hitler’s Birthday SHARP = SkinHeads Against Racial Prejudice Braces & Laces = Identifiers of Skinheads, Black= Neutral, White= White Supremacy, Red=Neo Nazi

  28. Major Hate Groups David Lane, Author of the Fourteen Words. Currently in Federal Prison The Fourteen Word Press "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." "Those who control the once-White nations deny us White nations, White schools, White organizations and everything necessary for racial survival. We resist this deliberate and malicious genocide. Is that hate? If Whites do not immediately establish an exclusive White nation, then the beauty of the White Aryan woman will soon cease to exist on earth forever. We are taught to dread the extinction of spotted owls, so why is it a hate crime to love and preserve one's race? Is that hate?" Aryan Nations Richard Butler, leader of Aryan Nations WE BELIEVE that the Cananite Jew is the natural enemy of our Aryan (White) Race. This is attested by scripture and all secular history. The Jew is like a destroying virus that attacks our racial body to destroy our Aryan culture and the purity of our Race. Those of our Race who resist these attacks are called "chosen and faithful." John 8:44; 1Thessalonians 2:15; Revelations 17:14"

  29. Major Hate Groups Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and The Federation of Klans "If the Klan were in political power laws would be enacted that would prevent American industry and property from being sold to foreigners. America should be owned by Americans - not Japanese, Arabs or Jews.... Until 20 or so years ago, nearly all states had 'sodomy' and miscegenation laws and statutes that were strictly enforced. Since that time they have been repealed or are ignored, the results are obvious with the plague of AIDS now ravaging our land. Both of these abominations against God and nature must be stopped if America is ever to return to the great Christian nation it once was. " World Church of the Creator "WE BELIEVE that the White Race, its Biological and Cultural Heritage, is now under attack by our mortal racial enemies: Jews, niggers and the mud races. WE BELIEVE that RAHOWA (RAcial HOly WAr), under the victorios flag of the one and only, true and revolutionary White Racial Religion-Creativity-, is the only road to the resurrection and redemption of the White Race"

  30. Major Hate Groups White Aryan Resistance "As our march toward hell proceeds, it will empower us if we heed the advice of Dr. Charles Weber and refer to ourselves as "Aryans". Furthermore, let's quit the side-shuffles and notify the world that we are, indeed, racists. We have been labeled as such by our racial enemies and it's about time we acknowledged the fact. If by some quirk of genetic malfunction, you feel you are a genuine poon-tang loving race-mixer, then stay away from Holocaust discussions, free speech band-wagons, National Socialism tea parties, and all other blight-wing parades for you will eventually be labeled a "racist" no matter how many kowtows you perform or where you choose to stuff your silly little nose. Most blacks are racist. Most jews are racist. Most chinks are racist. Most mestizos are racist. Most vietnamese are racist. Russian jews are racist. Japs are racist. Our apartheid injuns are racist. They all share a common view: They do not want Aryans to be racist. Racism lends strength to a people and the last thing non-Aryans want is to be in the middle of Aryan strength. If White America were as racist as its enemies claim, then it wouldn't be in such a fine mess. No parasite wants its host to reach for that can of Raid. "
