The Order, also known as the Brüder Schweigen (German for ''Brothers Keep Silent'') or Silent Brotherhood, was a white supremacist revolutionary terrorist organization active in the United States between September 1983 and December 1984. The Order received widespread attention from media and law enforcement for its role in the 1984 murder of radio talk show host Alan Berg. ==History== The Order was founded by Robert Jay Mathews in late September 1983 at Mathews' farm near Metaline, Washington. Mathews was baptized into the Mormon faith as a high schooler. He formed the "Sons of Liberty", an anti-Communist militia mostly made up of Mormon survivalists that had no connection to the historical organization of the same name. A fundamental goal of The Order was revolution against the American government, which its members, and those of other white supremacist groups, believed to be controlled by a cabal of prominent Jews. The Order was named after, and partly modeled on, a fictional group in William Luther Pierce's novel ''The Turner Diaries''. The Order's goals included the establishment of a homeland (now the Northwest Territorial Imperative) from which Jews and non-whites would be barred. They often referred to the United States federal government as ''ZOG'', an acronym for Zionist Occupied Government. Members of the Order included Randy Evans, Gary Yarborough, Bruce Pierce, Denver Parmenter, Frank DeSilva (also known as Frank Silva), Richard Scutari, David Lane, Randy Duey, and David Tate. The Order raised money through violent crime. This began with the robbery of a sex shop, which netted them $369.10. Their later attacks were more effective, including several lucrative bank robberies, as well as bombings of a theater and a synagogue. The Order ran a large〔(New York Times - 2 Linked to Aryan groups plead guilty in plot )〕 counterfeiting operation, and executed a series of armored car robberies, including one near Ukiah, California that netted $3.6 million. Proceeds from these robberies were distributed to leaders of sympathetic organisations such as William Pierce (National Alliance) and Frazier Glenn Miller, Jr. (White Patriot Party). The Order drew up a hit list of enemies, and on June 18, 1984 radio talk show host Alan Berg was murdered in front of his home by Bruce Pierce, assisted by other members of The Order. Berg was number two on The Order's list.〔Morris Dees and Steve Fiffer. ''Hate on Trial: The Case Against America's Most Dangerous Neo-Nazi''.
