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]

The majority of Mohr's works expressed anti-communist, anti-Semitic and anti-Masonic views.[5][6][7]

Additionally, Mohr was a promoter of Christian Identity religion and The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an alleged forgery of an anti-semitic 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.[8]
