Aryan Strikeforce (ASF) is a neo-Nazi white supremacist group active worldwide established by Ian Davison. As of 2010, the group is estimated to have 350 members online, including members in Germany, Serbia, the United Kingdom and the United States.[1] The group is designated as a terrorist organisation by Canada.[2]

History

After Davison's arrest, the group's new leader was Joshua Michael Steever of New Jersey, U.S., who joined the group after being ousted from Aryan Terror Brigade, another white supremacist group.[3][4]

In December 2009, 58-year-old Trevor Hannington and 42-year-old Micheal Heaton appeared in the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in London accused of inciting racial hatred, after they used their website to post antisemitic content encouraging others to kill Jews.[5]

In April 2010, 19-year-old Nicky Davidson, of county Durham, England, joined the group to please his father, who was the organiser of the group. Reports say that he was threatening to overthrow the "Zionist Occupied Government".[6]

In June 2017, Cameron Anthony, was arrested after threatening a Latino man with a baseball bat, while shouting "White power!", at a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Eight months before his arrest, at least eight people have been arrested on varying charges, including money laundering and illegal weapons possession,[3][7] including an October 2016 arrest of Ronald Pulcher II, from Galeton, Pennsylvania, who was ASF's self-described "Vinland Division President".[3][8]

Around 2018, 4 members pleaded guilty, one of which was vice president Steven D. Davis. Steven, who pleaded guilty at the U.S. Middle District Court in Pennsylvania for his involvement in a scheme to transport weapons and drugs over state lines.[9] The other members, Henry Lambert Baird, Joshua Michael Steever and Connor Drew Dikes, were all involved of transporting crystal meth and weapons from Pennsylvania to Maryland.[10]

Also in 2018, the National Socialist Movement and ASF held a "white unity meeting" in Ulysses, Pennsylvania, to discuss their response to Donald Trump's presidency and plan joint action.[11]

ASF and other far-right groups and figures active in Canada were banned from having a presence on Facebook in 2019, following criticism of the platform for its refusal to remove a post by white nationalist Faith Goldy.[12][13]

The group was designated as a terrorist organisation by the Canadian government following the January 6 United States Capitol attack in 2021.[2][14][15]
