THE NORTHWEST HOMELAND

History

Below is a brief history of the Northwest Migration movement, including brief bios of the men and women who pioneered the project.

1. Pastor Richard Butler

Pastor Richard Girnt Butler ) was a Christian Identity minister who settled in North Idaho in the 1970s. He founded Aryan Nations and built a church on his property near Hayden Lake.

Pastor Butler's strategy for White survival was called the Ten Percent Solution. He and his followers encouraged CI members from outside the area to settle in the Pacific Northwest, as well as in Montana and Wyoming. From there, the Pastor believed, race-conscious White migrants would slowly take control of one-tenth of the country.

In the year 2000, Pastor Butler was sued on trumped-up charges by outside agitators. He was forced to sell his property, but was provided with a new home by a local friend. Pastor Butler died in the summer of 2004 in Hayden, Idaho at the age of 86. Though Aryan Nations has re-located, many believers in the Ten Percent Solution remain in the Northwest.

Robert Jay Mathews migrated to the Northwest as a young man in the mid-1970s. In 1982 he began a project called the White American Bastion, which was meant to attract White families to the Pacific Northwest. He met with Pastor Butler, whose basic beliefs Robert shared.

In the fall of 1983, Bob created and led an organization called The Order. The group consisted of nine men, several of whom Bob had met through Pastor Butler. The Order's purpose was to enagage in armed resistance to ZOG and to create an ethnic enclave for Whites in the Pacific Northwest.

A year later, Robert Jay Mathews was burned alive by ZOG's mercenaries at his home on Whidbey Island, Washington. It took hundreds of Federal agents to bring him down. With gun in hand, Robert Jay Mathews fought the agents of White genocide to the very end.
