Milton Alexander Linder (born June 30, 1966) is the owner and operator of Vanguard News Network (VNN), an anti-Jewish, White separatist, Neo-Nazi, Holocaust revisionist, and white nationalist website[1][2] which he launched in 2000. VNN has been condemned by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) as being "one of the most active white supremacist sites on the Internet". Its motto is "No Jews. Just Right."

Background
According to the ADL, Linder has said he was raised an "upper-middle-class suburban kid." The ADL reports that he graduated with a bachelor's degree from Pomona College in Claremont, California, in 1988, then worked as a researcher for CNN on the Evans & Novak political show, and then at The American Spectator.[1]
Criminal history
On May 26, 2007, Linder organized what has been described as a "racially charged protest" linked to the Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom murder case in Knoxville, Tennessee, that attracted 30 supporters, around 60 counterprotesters, and 300 law enforcement officers. Linder fought with police and was the only arrest.[3][4] He was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, vandalism, and assault on a police officer. He was placed on six months probation and ordered to pay restitution to the police officer he assaulted.[5]
Political life
Linder is an ex-member of the National Alliance, a white nationalist organization that was founded by William Luther Pierce.[6][7][8][9] He left after deciding to allow criticism of the National Alliance to appear on the VNN forums.[1]
The ADL claims that in January 2005, Linder announced his intention to set up the White Freedom Party, stating it was "America's first political party advocating Aryan interests and specifically naming the Jew as the agent of white genocide and greatest obstacle to our people's self-preservation as a distinct and protected people." It threatened to "WAGE NONSTOP WAR on the Jews, coloreds, and mainstream sellouts ...".[1] Lacking financial backing, the "White Freedom Party" is currently dormant.
The Aryan Alternative
In 2004, Linder began publishing a tabloid newspaper called The Aryan Alternative. Four issues were published as of July 2010—the first issue was published in mid-2004. The most recent issue, July 2010 (#4), was published in mid-2009. The newspaper is distributed for free, but donations for it are solicited online.[10] In articles he has written for the The Aryan Alternative newspaper, Alex Linder claims that the Jews have been and are consciously engaged in a conspiracy that is implementing a systematic program of genocide to totally eradicate and exterminate the Aryan race.[11]
