Allen A. Zoll was a far-right American political activist.

In the 1930s, Zoll founded the American Patriots, Inc., a group listed as a fascist group on the Attorney General's List of Subversive Organizations during the Second World War.[1] The group had a publication, American Patriot, and hosted speakers such as Joe McWilliams, an American Nazi sympathiser, and Elizabeth Dilling, author of The Red Network.[1] The Military Intelligence Corps refused Zoll training at his Citizens' Military Training Camp during the war.[2] While he was working with American Patriots, Zoll was indicted for trying to extort money from Radio Station WMCA; he was not prosecuted following a not guilty plea.[3]

Zoll later founded the anti-communist National Council for American Education in 1949[2] and later founded the American Intelligence Agency, the Federation of Conservatives, the Committee on Pan-American Policy, and the Order of George Washington. Research by Group Research, Inc., which analyzed records of right-wing organizations, said that 17 people who were officers or endorsers of the John Birch Society.[1] He also formed an alliance with Willis Carto and his Liberty Lobby.[4]

The Anti-Defamation League, who called Zoll a "notorious anti-Semite", said that in 1952 he was an adviser to Russell Maguire of The American Mercury and that he worked with Gerald L. K. Smith for a political committee, leading a group of 250 demonstrators at the 1952 Republican National Convention.[1]

He was on the staff of Billy James Hargis before becoming a worker in the 1964 presidential campaign of Barry Goldwater, where he was kept in touch with Texas oil tycoon H. L. Hunt.[1]
