Oh, something is definitely going on. First things first. For those who are too young to remember or so old that he was forgotten. Tom Metzger was the go-to white supremacist for the media in the 80s, along with his son John. Based in Fallbrook, California, the Metzgers ran White Aryan Resistance (WAR) which had chapters and supporters all over the world. Then some of those supporters killed an Ethiopian immigrant in Portland, Oregon. Because of their professional association with WAR, the Metzgers were found liable in court and was hit with a multi-million dollar judgement that they never recovered from. The last we have heard, Tom was still in Fallbrook, California singing blues karaoke up and down the state. Meanwhile, there were rumors that his son John, who pretty much fell off the face of the earth, had a falling out with his father, possibly stemming from the libel suit and moved away to Indiana. But that’s just a rumor about John. What’s real about Tom was found out when the ATF raided his home in Warsaw, Indiana, roughly 40 miles from Fort Wayne (and 102 miles from Chicago, where Bill White and Hal Turner are going to face federal charges – if you catch our drift). According to sources, his mother passed on a few years ago and left him the house that the ATF decided to check out. At this time we don’t know what is going on, but it is a rather curious development. We will keep you posted.

WARSAW, Ind. – NewsChannel 15 has confirmed that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms raided the Warsaw home of Tom Metzger on Thursday. Metzger founded the White Aryan Resistance, an organization considered to be a neo-nazi hate group.
The ATF has not released details of what agents were looking for, but it’s known that Metzger was allowed to leave his home while the search was underway. He has not been arrested.
According to the Anti-Defamation League, an organization devoted to fighting anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry, Metzger has been a Grand Dragon of the KKK and a member of the John Birch Society. In 1990, an Oregon jury rendered a $12.5 million judgment against Metzger and his son for inciting the murder of an Ethiopian immigrant by neo-Nazi skinheads.
Metzger’s web site currently has a link to the text of James von Brunn’s book “Kill the Best Gentiles”, which was written in an attempt to refute the existence of the Holocaust. On June 10, von Brunn opened fire inside the Holocaust museum in Washington D.C. and killed a security guard.
NewsChannel 15 is working to obtain more information and this story will be updated.
