Kevin Alfred Strom
Kevin Alfred Strom, born in Anchorage, Alaska in 1956, was a member of the National Alliance since 1982. During his membership, he founded (in 1991) and frequently delivered the American Dissident Voices shortwave and Internet radio broadcasts. He was also the founder (1995) and editor of Free Speech magazine, published by the Alliance as an adjunct to the radio program. In early 2002, a few months before his death from cancer on July 23, the Alliance's founder, William Luther Pierce, named Strom as editor of National Vanguard magazine and Media Director for the Alliance. Shortly before his death, Pierce also named Strom editor of the Alliance's monthly Bulletin.
On April 15, 2005, Strom left the organization because of a dispute with the Alliance leadership. Strom and his supporters promptly formed their own organization called National Vanguard. As he did for the National Alliance earlier, Strom is still delivering weekly radio broadcasts. Strom calls his weekly program American Dissident Voices, the same title used by the National Alliance for its own weekly radio broadcasts.
Strom was also a close associate of University of Illinois Classics professor and prominent racial-nationalist writer Revilo P. Oliver, and was chosen by the Oliver estate to be archivist and publisher of Oliver's papers when Oliver died in 1994. In 2002, Strom published the book The Jewish Strategy by Oliver.
Strom is the Editor-in-Chief of NationalVanguard.org (also known as V-News.org), and is Managing Director and Media Director of National Vanguard. He was also named Managing Editor of The Truth at Last newspaper by Dr. Edward R. Fields in October 2005.
Strom is the author of what he calls the Maxim of Self-Determination: "Each people which considers itself to be a people should, to the maximum extent possible, live under its own government." His views are therefore different from those of segregationists and multiracialists, both of whom believe that various peoples and races should be required to live under the same government, either forced together or forced to live in delimited enclaves under the domination of others.
Strom is a former broadcast engineer and is of Norwegian descent.
