Christian Nationalist Crusade was an antisemitic organization which operated out of P.O. Box D-4, St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Its founder was Gerald L. K. Smith. It sold and distributed, inter alia, The International Jew, and subscribed to the antisemitic views embodied in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion which it also published.
[edit] History
Smith founded this entity, in St. Louis, in 1942, with the purpose to "preserve America as a Christian nation being conscious of a highly organized campaign to substitute Jewish tradition for Christian tradition." Its purpose was also to oppose Communism, world government, and immigration. It also aimed to "fight mongrelization and all attempts to force the intermixture of the black and white races." It effectively was a political party, and it promoted antisemitic and racist causes, particularly in St. Louis from the 1940's through the 1950's. It engaged in publication and distribution of texts advocating its views, and had produced monthly magazine, called The Cross and the Flag. Particular targets, voiced by its head, Gerald L. K. Smith, included Drew Pearson, radio commentator, Hollywood communists, as well as jazz music. Its headquarters were in St. Louis.
The Christian Nationalist Crusade engaged in the circulation of petitions urging national action in support of legalization of segregation.
The Globe-Democrat, in 1949, reported that blacks convened, and in the meeting called for a resolution asking for the death of Smith.
As a political party, the Christian Nationalist Party ran candidates in the Missouri General Election of 1950 - the candidates were defeated. Also, Douglas MacArthur was its candidate, but without his endorsement.
