Revilo P. Oliver; who lived from 1908 till he commited suicide in 1994; was a leader of the John Birch Society. The John Birch Society was an extreme anti-communist group based off of McCartyist beliefs and; though not based on white supremacy; many lead members had ties to white supremacist groups. Revilo P Oliver advocated aggressive white nationalism and anti-religious views (quite contrary many early American white supremacists such as Simmons and Forrest).
