Early life and military service
Gordon Dwight Mohr was born in Chicago on January 1, 1916.
Mohr enlisted in the United States Army during the early days of World War II. He retired in 1964 as a Lieutenant Colonel.
Far-right militia movement
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.
Views and writings
The majority of Mohr's works expressed anti-communist, anti-Semitic and anti-Masonic views.
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.
