Source: AP

One of two Illinois brothers charged in a 2004 bombing that injured a black city official in a Phoenix suburb had extensive ties with white supremacist groups and once was deported from Canada because of his activities.

Groups that track hate groups describe Dennis Mahon, 58, as a prominent player in white supremacist groups for 15 to 20 years. Less is known about his twin brother, Daniel Mahon, but he also belonged to such groups, federal officials said Friday.

The brothers are charged with conspiracy to damage buildings and property by means of explosive. They were arrested Thursday at their home in Davis Junction, Ill., where authorities say they found assault weapons, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and white supremacist material.

Dennis Mahon is a white supremacist and anti-Semite who has been active in several states in the Midwest and in Arizona. He has held leadership positions within various white supremacist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan and White Aryan Resistance (WAR), a now-defunct group led by long-time white supremacist Tom Metzger.

Mahon has cultivated domestic and international alliances within extremist circles since the 1980s. He has also supported the activity of other white supremacist and anti-Semitic figures in the United States and abroad. Although he was active as an organizer and leader in the past, since the early 2000s, Mahon has maintained a low profile, staying out of the public eye.

OKBOMB: Dennis Mahon Indictment

White supremacist brothers Dennis and Daniel Mahon have been indicted in Phoenix, Arizona, for an alleged bombing plot:

Indictment of Dennis and Daniel Mahon

The name of Dennis Mahon will be familiar to those who have followed the Oklahoma City bombing conspiracy investigation.

Chairman's Report, Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the House International Relations Committee, Oklahoma City Bombing Investigation

A relevant excerpt:

Carol Howe came from a prominent Tulsa family. She was attracted to the white supremacist movement in February 1994 after she was allegedly attacked by three African-American men. She became a paid informant for the ATF and a frequent visitor to Elohim City in June 1994. Howe testified in Terry Nichols' federal trial that she saw McVeigh with (German national Andreas])Strassmeir at Elohim City in July 1994.

Howe dated Strassmeir in 1994 and January 1995. Howe asserted that Strassmeir trained Elohim City racist radicals in weaponry and had discussed assassinations, bombings and mass shootings. Strassmeir, according to Howe, frequently called for direct action against the U.S. federal government. Howe reported these statements to the ATF. It is not clear how seriously they were taken, as authorities have tried their best to discredit Howe as a witness. She was a former drug abuser and had other personal weaknesses; nonetheless, she was a paid ATF informant and in the aftermath of Waco and Ruby Ridge must have been considered an important source of information.

Howe also talked to the ATF regarding Dennis Mahon, an occasional inhabitant of Elohim City who is listed as a terrorist in several countries (including Germany and Canada) and is a leader of the White Aryan Resistance. Strassmeir also stayed with Mahon while attending weekend gun shows in Tulsa. Howe reported that Mahon talked about targeting federal buildings for bombings. Her reports could be interpreted as warnings of the upcoming Oklahoma City bombing. Howe, for example, claimed that Mahon and Strassmeir took three trips to Oklahoma City, in November 1994, December 1994, and February 1995, on one of which she accompanied them.

Former Northland KKK leader indicted in Arizona bombing
By MARK MORRIS The Kansas City Star

A federal grand jury in Arizona has indicted a former Northland Ku Klux Klan leader and his brother for allegedly mail-bombing a city of Scottsdale diversity office.

The arrest Thursday of Dennis Mahon and his twin brother, Daniel Mahon, in Illinois Thursday coincided with weapons charges against Robert Joos, a Powell, Mo., man, whom Dennis Mahon allegedly contacted the morning the bomb arrived at the Scottsdale Office of Diversity and Dialogue.

Though Joos was charged in Springfield, Mo., with being a felon in possession of firearms, he is not alleged to have participated in the Arizona mail-bombing.

Dennis Mahon is a former Northmoor resident and imperial dragon of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. He was a familiar was a familiar figure in the Kansas City area in the 1980s and early 1990s. In 1989, he unsuccessfully ran for a seat on the Northmoor Board of Aldermen, vowing to keep the community “white.”

He also was involved in a skirmish over a public access channel of a Kansas City cable TV company. After a long battle, which included a lawsuit filed in federal court on behalf of the Klan, his group produced one TV program that aired in 1990.

According to federal court records released this week, the Mahons long have been suspects in the Feb. 26, 2004, Scottsdale bombing, which injured three people. Prosecutors there accused Dennis Mahon of using his brother’s phone to call the Diversity and Dialogue office on Sept, 26, 2003, and leave a voice message stating that “the White Aryan Resistance is growing in Scottsdale. There’s a few white people who are standing up.”

'Order'... because that's what's gonna happen again

THE ORDER & THE ARYAN REPUBLICAN ARMY

=====================================


'The Order' will go down in history books as one of

the most violent and notorious domestic terrorist groups of

the 1980s. 'The Order' was founded in 1983 by Robert J.

Mathews, a recruiter for the neo-Nazi National Alliance and

an activist in the Aryan Nations. 'The Order' drew its

members from the National Alliance, Aryan Nations, and

various Klan splinter groups throughout the country.

Adopting a racist ideology and paranoid world-view, 'The

Order' began to commit acts of terrorism, robbery, fraud,

murder, and theft in an ongoing wave of crime that it's

members viewed as a revolution against the 'Zionist

Occupied Government.' Many of the hate-fueled terrorist

acts such as bombing federal buildings and murdering

minorities are described in William Pierce's novel The

Turner Diaries, the same book that Timothy McVeigh

allegedly used as a blueprint for the OKC Bombing. It's no

surprise that the author of the book is a prominent member

of the National Alliance.





The 'Order' even launched a successful

counterfeiting operation at the Aryan Nations compound in

Hayden Lake, Idaho, as well as master-minded a series of

bank and armored car robberies that netted them around

$5,000,000. The 'Order' seemingly perished in December 1984

when Robert Matthews held off 200 law enforcement officers

for over 36 hours before he was killed by gunfire. On

December 30, 1985, nine men and one woman - all members of

the group - were convicted following a four-month Federal

court case in Seattle. They were sentenced to terms of

40-100 years in prison, as well as given stiff fines.

Despite the convictions and the martyrdom of Matthews,

followers of 'The Order' remain in the Aryan terrorist

underground today. (notably Mark Thomas, James Ellison, and

Dennis Mahon)



Emerging from the ashes of 'The Order', a disturbing new

terrorist sect has mobilized in the United States. The

group is adopting the 'Leaderless Resistance' structure of

impenetrable underground cells. <1b> Calling itself the

Aryan Republican Army, the group represents the most

paramilitary and radical of the American neo-Nazi movement.

It is committed to the overthrow of the US government, the

extermination of America's Jews, and the establishment of

an "Aryan Republic" on the North American continent. "We

call ourselves the Aryan Republican Army because in some of

our tactics, and some of our goals, we have modeled the

organization after the successful and yet undefeated Irish

Republican Army," said Commander Pedro <1>, in a self-made

video titled ``The Aryan Republican Army Presents: The

Armed Struggle Underground.'' <4>



The FBI discovered this terrorist cell by accident

earlier this year while investigating a string of 18 bank

robberies in the Mid West. <1> The bank bandits made off

with upwards of $500,000 before the FBI caught on to them.
