Supporters of the far-right Golden Dawn in Thessaloniki, Greece on June 17, 2012

In a rural area of northeastern Arkansas, a group of far-right segregationists and white nationalists are building a "whites-only" community they call Return to the Land. The group owns 160 acres of land and is making it clear that non-whites are excluded. And Return to the Land has a Christianist element, as Jews are excluded as well.

The project raises legal concerns in light of federal anti-discrimination laws that have been on the books since the 1960s and the Johnson Administration.

Wired's David Gilbert examines the community in an article published on August 12.

"Though the organization claims that Return to the Land is nothing more than a peaceful settlement of like-minded people," Gilbert reports, "the online histories of the group's leaders tell a different story. Members have espoused virulently racist and antisemitic views and repeatedly praised Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. One of the leaders says he is currently under criminal investigation in Ecuador. (Return to the Land President Eric) Orwoll himself has spoken about the coming of a second Hitler and praised KKK leader David Duke."

Gilbert continues, "He is also closely aligned to an international network of far-right influencers, extremists, and white supremacists, including Thomas Sewell, a neo-Nazi living in Australia who was the founder of a group that influenced the Christchurch, New Zealand, shooter. Despite this, the Return to the Land community has been lauded by far-right influencers and has already raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations."

Morgan Moon, a researcher for the Anti-Defamation League's (ADL) Center on Extremism, warns that the group's mild rhetoric doesn't make its ideas any less dangerous.

Moon told Wired, "They use a lot of innocuous language. Instead of saying they want to make a white ethnic community, they say they want to make a strong community of common ancestry. But at the same time, when we see their promotional videos and propaganda, what we see is that when they're depicting the failing modern society, they use imagery consisting of minority groups or the LGBT+ community. When they're showing the idealized parallel society that they're attempting to create with Return to the Land, they tend to only use white Aryan imagery."

Applicants for Return to the Land, according to Gilbert, must "go through a number of steps in order to verify their identity and heritage."

Wired interviewed Orwoll himself, and he described the application process — which includes a "background check," among other things.

Orwoll told Wired, "You fill out a questionnaire that'll give us an initial idea of where you're coming from, your values, who you are, your background. And then, there is a phone interview, and we make admissions decisions on a case-by-case basis."
