Recruitment Flyers For White Supremacist Group Appear On Enfield Lawns

ENFIELD, CT — Recruitment flyers for the New England Nationalist Social Club, a "pro-white, street-oriented fraternity" claiming it stands "for the security and prosperity of white New Englanders," appeared on several lawns Tuesday morning, prompting an investigation by police.

Police Chief Alaric Fox told Patch complaints about the flyers were received from residents of Beech Road and Arrow Street. He said officers were canvassing the area to try and determine the persons involved in their distribution.

Among the statements contained in the flyer is, "We oppose the criminal anti-American and anti-white street gangs such as MS13, Black Lives Matter, and ANTIFA. We are for us, by us, and against those against us."

On the Anti-Defamation League website, the NSC is described this way:

• NSC is a neo-Nazi group with small, autonomous regional chapters in the United States and abroad.
• NSC members see themselves as soldiers at war with a hostile, Jewish-controlled system that is deliberately plotting the extinction of the white race.
• NSC seeks to form an underground network of white men who are willing to fight against their perceived enemies through localized direct actions.
• NSC espouses racism, antisemitism and intolerance via the Internet, propaganda distributions and the use of graffiti.
• NSC participates in localized flash demonstrations, counter-protests, and makes appearances at mainstream events.
• NSC engages in schemes to troll or otherwise harass those who oppose them.

The flyer is shown below:
