Willis Carto (1926-2015) and the Origins of the National Alliance
IN 1968, Alabama Governor George Wallace mounted a presidential campaign as an independent candidate, opposing both the Republicans and the Democrats. Wallace presented himself as a disguised racialist, who would recapture the federal government from the traitors and “pointy-headed intellectuals and bureaucrats with their briefcases” and reinstitute a White Constitutional republic.

I dissent. On Wallace’s worst day, he was a thousand times better than anything that could be found in Washington city—the hateful city on the Potomac.
JFK romanced the Klan to secure the solid South, then turned on the folk like a rabid dog. And he got the same medicine Lincoln did. That goes for Bobby Kennedy too.
Wallace was shot up badly by a Yankee Jew but was able to live for many years after. That proves that Wallace had hidden strength where his enemies had none.
There is a mistake in my article: the actual phrase used by George Corley Wallace was “pointy-headed intellectuals and bureaucrats with their briefcases.”
But I was not wrong in my characterization of Wallace as a racial fraud. Anyone familiar with his later years knows that once his political career was over, that he explicitly repudiated all racialism in the name of the sweet Lord Jesus.
Yes, he stood in the doorway–but just long enough to let the newspaper photographers get his picture. Then he stood aside. He is the symbol of everything that has been wrong with post-World War II White political leadership in the US.
Wallace’s phrase in the article has been corrected. Thank you, Mr. Zorn.
To blame Lincoln’s eternal Yankee dictatorship on Wallace doesn’t pass the laugh test. Wallace was not perfect, but considering he was physically sick the last years of his life, compromised with drugs and freaks whispering in his ear, Mr. Wallace held up pretty good.
