The group raised funds via armed robbery. Ten members were tried and convicted for racketeering, and two for their role in the 1984 [[murder]] of radio talk show host Alan Berg.

| ==Biography==
| |
| The Order was founded by [[Robert Jay Mathews]] in late September 1983 at Mathews's farm near Metaline, Washington. Mathews's farm is where the members reportedly trained. Mathews was baptized into the Mormon faith as a high schooler. He formed the "Sons of Liberty", an anti-[[communist]] militia mostly made up of Mormon survivalists, fundamentalists and associates of John Singer that had no connection to the historical organization of the same name.

| A fundamental goal of The Order was revolution against the American government, which its members, and those of other white supremacist groups, believed to be controlled by a cabal of prominent Jews. The Order was named after, and partly modeled on, a fictional terrorist group in [[William Luther Pierce]]'s novel ''The Turner Diaries''. The Order's goals included the establishment of a homeland (now the Northwest Territorial Imperative) from which Jews and non-whites would be barred. They often referred to the United States federal government as ZOG, an acronym for Zionist Occupied Government. Members of the Order included Randy Evans, Gary Yarborough, Bruce Pierce, Denver Parmenter, Frank DeSilva (also known as Frank Silva), Richard Scutari, David Lane, Randy Duey, and David Tate.

| | The '''Order''' was a [http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/White_Power_Movement White Supremacist] group active in the United States from 1983 to 1984 - the organization is best known for the murder of Jewish radio talk show host Alan Berg. |
|
| |
|
| The Order drew up a hit list of enemies, and on June 18, 1984 radio talk show host Alan Berg was murdered in front of his home by Bruce Pierce, assisted by other members of The Order. Berg was number two on The Order's list.
| | It was also known as the Silent Brotherhood and the Brüder Schweigen - the aim of the group was to create a homeland where all Jews and non-Whites would be banned, they believed the United States government was simply a puppet-state and referred to them as the ZOG (Zionist Occupied Government). |
|
| |
|
| In December 1984, authorities were able to track Mathews down to a house on Whidbey Island where he refused to surrender. During a shootout, the house was ignited by incendiary flares and became engulfed in flames, and Mathews was killed. Mathews is considered a martyr by some white nationalists today.
| | The Order engaged in various robberies before engaging in more direct terrorism such as the bombing of a theatre and synagogue: it also ran a large counterfeiting organization. |
| | |
| | The Order also drew up a "Hit List" of individuals to be dealt with and Alan Berg was amongst them, on June 18th 1984 he was murdered outside his home by Bruce Pierce with assistance from members of The Order. |
