Interesting Facts

• His father was a white supremist, misogynist, and religious fanatic - his version of religion. He was a raging alcoholic, an abuser who refused to send his children to what he considered government facilities, including schools and hospitals. He homeschooled the children with his twisted vision of history, science, and so on. They never saw doctors or had inoculations, screenings, or dental care.
• He and his younger sister lived with their maternal aunt after his father died (when he was sixteen), but he took off.
• He came to prominence shortly after the end of the Urban Wars while people, still reeling from them, worked to rebuild and those bitter from them stewed in anger. He spread his word primarily on college campuses, where young, questing minds sought answers, solutions, and an order many had seen ripped to pieces. Most who listened considered him a bigoted lunatic or a joke, but there were always a few, and a few could become many.
• He promised a utopia, where there would be no war, no strife, no struggle. Where each, cleaving to their own kind, would prosper. His fundamentalist and extreme religious views turned many away, but there were always a few. He claimed it was the mixing of the races, diluting their purity, their culture, and the toxic freedom of unbound sexuality, the stain of homosexuality and prostitution, the ambition of women emasculating generations of men that led to war, to strife, to struggle.
• He spoke of children, so innocent, so helpless, so neglected by mothers who failed to nurture in their quest for money and power. As the few became many, he built his order. A small, rented building in the city, a quiet home in the suburbs. On-screen appearances that led to crowded auditoriums. Seminars that led to retreats. All for a price. He built his order, and his wealth, step by step.
• He had been married for 32 years.
