Gordon Dwight "Jack" Mohr (January 1, 1916 – July 17, 2003) was an American Christian Identity author and preacher who is considered to be an influential figure in the Christian Patriot movement.[1]
Early life and military service
[edit]Mohr was born in Chicago on January 1, 1916. He enlisted in the United States Army during the early days of World War II. He retired in 1964 as a Lieutenant Colonel.[2]
Far-right militia movement
[edit]Mohr was the leader of the Citizens Emergency Defense System, a paramilitary group exclusive to White Christians. The group was considered to be a militant subgroup of the Christian Patriots Defense League - an anti-Semitic survivalist organization based in the state of Illinois.[3][4]
Views and writings
[edit]Mohr was a promoter of Christian Identity religion and The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an alleged forgery of an antisemitic text purporting to describe a Jewish plan for global domination. Mohr wrote for many publications, including his own Christian Patriot Crusader. One 1986 article has been linked by political opponents to a Seattle man who, after failing to arrange a meeting with Mohr, went on to murder a family of four.[5]
