1/9

1. Origin

The slogans were derived from Hitler’s 1925 manifesto “Mein Kampf” and are a summary of the attached passage. 2/9

2. Inspiration

The slogans were coined by pos neo-nazi David Eden Lane while he was in prison for his part in the murder of Jewish radio talk show host Alan Berg. Lane was 1 of 9 founders of the terror group The Order or Brüder Schweigen (German for Silent Brotherhood). 3/9

Lane was serving 190 years and died while in prison. Before he helped start The Order, he was an organizer for the Denver unit of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in 1979. In 1981, Lane became Colorado State Organizer of the Aryan Nations. He was also heavily into Odinism. 4/9

3. The Order was active from 9/1983-12/84 and was labeled as neo-nazi, neo-fascist, Christian Identity, & white supremacists. Its leader was neo-Nazi Robert Jay Mathews. 5/9

The members of The Order. 6/9

4. Slogans

“We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children."

Lane also coined a second 14-word slogan:

"Because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the earth." 7/9

5. 1488

Lane authored the “88 Precepts,” a collection of his garbage statements, which combined with the 14 words are abbreviated 14-88 or 14/88

88 is also a reference to "Heil Hitler" as 8=H.

8/9

Lanes writings have a repeated claim that white people are threatened by a lack of exclusive territorial hegemony and "forced racial mixing” and was concerned that the US was intent on committing genocide against white people.

These claims are echoed in modern WLM groups. 9/9

I didn’t know a lot about the origins til just now. Hope this quick read helps others understand what its all about and why WLM groups repeat them. These people are dangerous neo-nazis. Period.
