Crosstar

Crosstar, the website of the Nationalist Movement, was launched on June 13, 1996. Richard Barrett served as administrator from its founding until his death in 2010 at which time Thomas Reiter was unanimously elected as First Officer and Administrator of Crosstar. On November 11, 2011, the site relaunched in a modern, social network format. The site ceased operation in 2016.


''All The Way''

''All The Way'' was the official organ of the Nationalist Movement from 1987 to 1996, published monthly at Learned, Mississippi. Correspondents included Travis Golie, Barry Hackney and Gerald McManus. It was founded in June 1987. Richard Barrett served as editor from its founding until his death in 2010. In 1996, the publication migrated to the Internet, appearing in both print and online versions. The newspaper maintained editorial policies in favor of what it termed "majority-rule democracy." It reported current events from a white supremacist standpoint, including appeals from Marines and others to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan. ''All The Way'' showcased white supremacists, notably Edgar Ray Killen, and billed itself as "the longest-running continually published nationalist newspaper."
