Times-Standard Online - Aryan Nations has no plans to move to county

The senior pastor of the worldwide Church of Jesus Christ Christian, better known as the Aryan Nations, says the group has no plans to relocate to Humboldt County. In a telephone interview with the Times-Standard on Monday, Rev. Jonathan Williams said his group was focusing its recruitment efforts in the Southeast but would welcome sympathizers from any area, including Humboldt County. ”There are fraudulent organizations calling themselves the Aryan Nations, and they have misled people for more than a year now, ever since the death of Rev. Richard Butler,” Williams said from his office in Atlanta. ”I can tell you and the people of your community, we are not relocating.” Butler, who died in September 2004, was the leader of the Church of Jesus Christ Christian (Aryan Nations) in Hayden, Idaho.
