Putting The Cart Before The Courts: Robert Ransdell Announces Forthcoming Move to National Alliance Compound
Former (NA) Cincinnati chapter coordinator and current National Alliance Reform & Restoration Group (NARRG) unit coordinator Robert Ransdell announced on Sunday that he would be the first member of NARRG to return to the NA compound in Mill Point, W. Va.
There鈥檚 just one problem though. The property doesn鈥檛 belong to NARRG, at least not yet.
NARRG is currently embroiled in a $2 million civil lawsuit against the NA鈥檚 last chairman, , and has hopes to reclaim both the organization and the West Virginia compound. However, much to the chagrin of NARRG鈥檚 leadership, which continues to spend tens of thousands of dollars on legal fees, another former NA member, Will Williams, has already quietly negotiated Gliebe鈥檚 resignation and the transfer of the NA to himself.
Despite these revelations, NARRG鈥檚 lawsuit continues to target Gliebe and several other former and current NA board members. The group鈥檚 leadership, at least publicly, remains confident in its case despite the fact that Williams has initiated the restoration of the compound, which had fallen into disrepair during Gliebe鈥檚 tenure.
Ransdell made headlines last Fall in Ohio and Kentucky during a failed for a United States Senate seat in Kentucky with the slogan, 鈥淲ith Jews, We Lose!鈥� His campaign featured a stop at the University of Kentucky where he was removed from the stage at a Constitution Day event after delivering an impromptu white nationalist screed to an audience filled with high school and college students.
Ransdell also publicly pledged to put 鈥渨hite men on the streets鈥� as part of a 鈥減ro-white neighborhood watch鈥� around the campus of the University of Cincinnati. If there was any doubt of his true intentions, Ransdell clarified them by stating, 鈥淲e are definitely out there to be a threat to those blacks who are a threat to our own.鈥�
A few months later, Ransdell was in Florence, Ky., for trespassing in a city-owned government building while protesting Martin Luther King Day with a sign reading, 鈥淗appy Marchin鈥� Lootin鈥� Killin鈥� Day.鈥�
According to NARRG, these are the types of activism that make Ransdell a fearless 鈥渄ynamo鈥� who some have nicknamed 鈥淵oung Rockwell,鈥� after George Lincoln Rockwell, the late founder of the American Nazi Party.
William鈥檚 own leadership group is hardly any better though. , communications director for William鈥檚 NA, has spent time in a federal prison for possessing child pornography, a fact that Ransdell himself has pointed to in his denunciations of Williams.
鈥淲e didn鈥檛 come this far,鈥� Ransdell wrote on the neo-Nazi VNN forum, 鈥渢o allow the organization to be headed by a pedo like Strom along with a man who has just proved himself to be as unscrupulous as Gliebe with his actions in regard to his being named Chairman by Gliebe.鈥�
In the midst of this complex legal battle over the current iteration of the NA, announcements of a forthcoming physical NARRG presence on a property that the group doesn鈥檛 own seems premature at best. It is likely that a court decision will ultimately put to rest whether NARRG and its leadership will ever come anywhere close to the NA鈥檚 compound.
