For those that may not remember, it was a branch of Wotansvolk, The Order founded by David Lane, who was responsible for the murder of Jewish radio host Alan Berg and a variety of other crimes. Lane is also the originator of the 1488 slogan, the 14 words (“We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children”) and the 88 precepts (though “88” also stands for “Heil Hitler” in Nazispeak).

There, where the asphalt turns into a narrow gravel path traveling through the woods, is where Angela Dover Meadows has purchased a 44-acre parcel of land. Her husband, Eric Meadows, has posted on social media about bulldozer work being done in a wooded area in Southeast Tennessee for a project called Wotans Nation.

Eric Meadows is a former member of the National Socialist Movement who operated as the training director for a paramilitary wing of the League of the South, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit organization that tracks the activity of hate groups nationwide.

Meadows has been active in North Georgia for years and was based out of Rome, Ga., according to an article submitted by an anti-fascist group to the website It's Going Down. He has been a particularly active member of the white supremacist movement for years, attending rallies and holding meetings, among other things, according to the law center. He also hosted an internet radio show called "NSM Hoff," releasing episodes with titles such as "White Power Hour" until he canceled the show after only a few months.

Meadows married Angela Johnson, identified by the law center as another known member of the National Socialist Movement, and it was in her name the property in Meigs County was purchased in March 2017, according to state property records.
