Before Wade Michael Page killed six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, he appeared on anti-hate groups' watch lists.
The Southern Poverty Law Center and The Anti-Discrimination League monitored Page's involvement with white supremacist groups – including his own white power band.
With that in mind, we thought we'd check out who else has a spot in the SPLC's Intelligence Files. That list includes everyone from Ku Klux Klan leaders to former college professors.
Keep in mind, we are not accusing any of these people of crimes or implying that they might commit crimes. We are simply reporting their inclusion in SPLC's intelligence files, and why they merited that inclusion.
Business Insider attempted to reach all of the individuals for whom we could find contact information. We did not immediately hear back from anybody on the list.
April Gaede is one of the most famous Neo-Nazi stage moms.
Gaede, who has been linked to white supremacist group National Vanguard and the neo-Nazi National Alliance, has reportedly raised her daughters to embrace the neo-Nazi culture.
She even went so far as to create the white supremacist band Prussian Blue in which her daughters Lamb and Lynx performed, according to the SPLC.
However, after her daughters had a change of heart — Lamb and Lynx told The Daily in 2011 they weren't white nationalists anymore — Gaede moved on to a new career: matchmaking.
She advertised her dating service, for white nationals only of course, in 2010 on the white supremacist site Stormfront.org.
"I have many references throughout WNism [white nationalism] as well as from this board who will vouch for my sincerity and my loyalty to our cause, the 14 words, and the future of our race," she wrote in her Stormfront.org posting.
“I find other races annoying. …," SPLC has quoted Gaede as saying. "I don’t like their chattering in other languages, I don’t like the way they look. I mean, 99% of them, they’re just not pretty. I don’t want to be around them. I don’t like the fact they seem to make everything just dirty and messy wherever they are. I don’t like to be around them. I want to be around all white people.”
Jeff Berry served as the imperial wizard of the American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
During his time leading the KKK, Berry welcomed thugs and criminals into the fold, creating the "bully-boy Klan," according to the SPLC.
In a 2005 interview with TheLiberator.net, Berry said the Klan "is in existence for equal rights."
"We're not against Blacks," he added. "We're against n-----s." He defined that term as people who take away from society without giving anything back.
Berry called being white "the most proud thing there is."
"But don't degrade me or call me a racist because I'm proud of my race," he said. "I'm proud of being White."
Berry went to prison in 2001 after he held two reporters at gunpoint, according to the SPLC.
Randal Lee Krager founded Volksfront, a neo-Nazi website.
Krager has been active in the skinhead movement since he was 15.
As a 15-year-old in 1989, Krager was sent to a juvenile detention center for allegedly attacking three teenagers, according to SPLC.
He's so embedded in the culture he reportedly has a swastika tattoo on his neck and the knuckles on his right hand bear the word "FEAR." He created Volksfront while serving time in prison for assaulting a black man, according to the SPLC.
Volksfront bills itself as the "most disciplined and active European cultural association in the world."
"We reject both conservatism and liberalism," the site claims. "No establishment political ideology adequately addresses the social and economic perils facing White and European persons today."
In an interview for the film "Listening to Skinhead Stories," Krager says: "It ain't that I'm that cold blooded, it's just I look at a little white girl and I look at a, you know, a baby black or whatever and I'm like there's no comparison."
"If there's any threat to the white, we'll kill the fucking blacks," he said in the interview. He added that he doesn't like killing but just cares deeply about his own race.
