With the emergence of the Racial Nationalist Party of America (RNPA), it was judged that it was only fair that those inclined to join and identify with it, should be made aware of the background of its leadership so they could make a reasonable judgment as to whether or not they truly wanted to lend their support.
     In doing this biography, Mr. Hand insisted that this not be a sanitized version in any way, shape or form, and that you, the reader, be given as accurate portrayal as possible, or "the good, the bad, and the ugly" as Mr. Hand put it.  With that take a deep breath and have a fun read.
Once Upon A Time
     For all of you astrologers out there, Karl Hand was born on November 26, 1950 at 4:58pm in Buffalo, New York.  He was the second of three children (for all of you Jew shrinks out there), and the son of Eleanor Leocadia Reszel and Karl E. Hand Sr.  He is of German, Irish and Polish descent.  He was baptized and confirmed as a Roman Catholic.
     The first seven or so years of his life, Karl spent in an area of Buffalo known as Kaiser Town.  Later, his family would move to a small town near the Pennsylvania border called Ripley.  The next seven or eight years were spent there where Karl said he experienced the best years of his life.  He grew his own garden, was briefly a member of the 4-H club, was a cub scout and later a first class boy scout.  He went to the public school in Ripley and then to a Catholic school in North East, Pa., then went briefly back to the school in Ripley.  He participated in some sports (basketball and football) and the debate team as an extemporaneous speaker.  Because of nerves all he recalls of his first speech was that it was about America's need to maintain its nuclear prowess.  However, a student from another school told him that he wish he could speak with the same passion that Karl had spoken with.
     Many good times were had in that idyllic environment that only small town America can provide, but fate would soon play its hand.
On The Road Again
     Karl came home one day only to find the house in disarray and his world turned upside down.  His father and mother had a fight.  So, his family split up.  Karl was forced to make the first major decision of his life: who to go with, his mother who was going back to Buffalo, or his father.  He returned to Buffalo with his mother.
     It was in Buffalo that things took a radical turn for Karl.  Understand that at that time, gangs were prevalent, not just in non-white areas, but in white neighborhoods as well.  And for all their faults, the gangs did keep the neighborhoods white, but they were also very territorial.
     When Karl was walking through a park one day, dressed in a suit coat, on his way to church, he was jumped by 12 members of the gang that occupied the territory that he was crossing.  He could have run, but he didn't.  It took him six years, but eventually Karl would get his revenge on that gang, but there would be a lot more to Karl's gang experiences before that would come.
     Being jumped by a gang was not Karl's first fight.  When he was around seven years old while still in Kaiser Town, he bloodied the nose of what would one day become a state legislator.
     While he was a newsboy for the now defunct Courier Express, he got in a fight with the son of a customer who accused Karl of stealing his house key.  Karl didn't know anything about it but it occurred to him that it was probably an older friend of his who he mistakenly took along on his route one day.  Well, rather than 'rat' his friend out before he confirmed his suspicions, Karl took a beating.  The guy was about 30 lbs. heavier than him and beat Karl's head against the concrete street but Karl only had two words for him and it wasn't 'bless you'.
     After that beating Karl decided to start lifting weights and to learn to fight.  So he consciously tried to put on weight and bought a weight set.
     Once a younger friend of his accidentally broke a window with a snowball.  He apologized and offered to pay for it but the guy wanted to kick his but anyway so Karl stepped in.  He pulled a knife and Karl pulled a bigger one.  So the guy threw away his knife, and Karl puts his away.  One thing led to another and they took to fighting.  The guy overpowered Karl, got him on the ground and was ready to pummel him when Karl worked some magic.  He had been practicing a move where he would put his shins against an opponents and then pull his ankles out from under him.  So he tried this move, it worked beautifully and the guy ends up on the ground with Karl pummeling him.
     Karl had increasing difficulty with the gang members that originally jumped him,  They were coming at him one at a time, but it was getting old.  When he got off a bus once he got into a fight and was going toe-to-toe with one of their tough guys when it was broken up by the school bus driver.  Another time, one of their members who was on the high school wrestling team challenged him.  Karl lost that fight but not before he broke his adversary's nose.  Win some, lose some, that's the first lesson of fighting.
     While walking down the street with a relative of his, Karl noticed a car pass by real slow with heads turning.  He warned his relative that trouble was probably brewing.  He scanned around for a weapon to even things out and saw some bottles in a ditch.  Sure enough the car circled around and five gang members got out with the biggest challenging Karl's relative.  It was going to be a 'fair fight'.  Of course it was only going to be a 'fair fight' if their guy won, and they all knew it.  Still, Karl's relative took up the challenge but their guy sucker-punched him and it was basically all over.  So Karl stepped in and led the relative away who was out of it, swinging wildly at thin air.  Karl was hoping for them to attack as he wanted to avenge his relative.  So he turned his back on them as he led his relative away.  Then it happened.  The tough guy yelled at Karl, 'and you're next'.  That was all Karl needed.  He ran to the ditch that was laden with bottles and grabbed an old coca cola bottle, you know, one of those heavy, green ones.  He started towards his relative's assailant and the big guy yelled, "you better not throw that."  Karl heaved it as hard as he could.  He hit the guy square in the forehead and he fell to his knees, blood pouring from his forehead.  While his friends were helping him to the car Karl raced back to the ditch and got a Colt 45 bottle.  He smashed it against the concrete so it was now a jagged dagger.  The other gang members seeing this backed off and sped away in their car.
     Up till now, Karl was not the member of any gang, just the victim of gangs.  Then something happened that changed that.  Before we go into that perhaps we should mention the first time Karl politically challenged authority.
Holocaust Revisionism 101
     Back in Catholic school, a classmate casually inquired as to Karl's nationality.  When Karl told him that he was part German, Irish and Polish, his classmate responded by saying something about how the Germans killed all those Jews.  Karl was flabbergasted at first.  He didn't even know what a Jew was and he certainly didn't know anything about an alleged extermination plan.  What he did know was that 6 million people were a lot of people and that Germany was in the middle of a war of survival.  He studied the maps in his school book and in his mind there was no way anything like that could occur.  And that was precisely what he told his classmate, who then warned Karl that he would be wise not to express that opinion to a certain nun as she was a strong proponent of that view and would come unglued to have someone question it. 
     At this time of his life Karl was a bit of an introvert, but that didn't stop him from doing exactly what his classmate warned him not to do.  He did this right in the classroom, much to the surprise of his other classmates, and sure enough the nun did indeed come unglued.  Karl didn't care, he didn't believe it and he held his ground.  The nun stormed out of the classroom.  When she returned, she apologized for the scene she made and asked Karl why he would think that the Holocaust did not occur.  Karl got out his history book and pointed out all those arrows on the map that signified the advance of the Germans.  She then nodded, understanding but not agreeing, 'oh, you mean logistically you don't think it could occur."  First time Karl had heard that word 'logistically' , but 'yeah, logistically', was his reply.
     Since that time Karl has learned much more that disproves this notion that the Germans had any kind of an extermination plan for Jews.  For instance, this was all suppose to happen in a four year period from 1941 tp 1945.  Furthermore, why bother to transport them to camps if you were just going to kill them?  And why shave their heads to reduce the spreading of lice, which in turn reduces the possibility of Typhus which they spread?
     It has been said that truth is the first casualty in any war.  In the first and previous World War, the British put out the propaganda that the Germans were 'Huns' and that they were bayoneting Belgium babies and eating them.  People went to their graves believing this.  In the Korean war the communists put out that the Americans were using biological warfare and even had leaflets displaying illustrations of termite-like creatures they claimed were proof of this biological warfare.  Nonsense, but some people believed it  More recently, we had the Iraq war with 'weapons of mass destruction' that were to be delivered by 'drone aircraft'.  All of these were used to demonize the opposition and to rally people around a particular cause or agenda.
     Dr. Harry Elmer Barnes, eminent historian, author of 40 books, many standard college texts, noted in Rampart Journal, 1967:  "It has been demonstrated that there had been no systematic extermination in those camps."  Arthur Butz, a professor at Northwestern University wrote "The Hoax of the Twentieth Century"rebutting the Holocaust propagandists.  Paul Rassiner, a historian and anti-Nazi activist who was imprisoned in Buchenwald stated not only that there were no gas chambers in that camp but that the rumor of mass exterminations by Germans was started by communists in order to create discontent and insurrection among the inmates.  This is what he would later write in 1962, "The claim that a holocaust took place is an historic lie - the most tragic and most macabre imposture of all time."
  


Street Fighting Man
     One day Karl and three friends went to a coffee shop on the other part of town.  On the way back they were surprised by five gang members.  One had a knife the size of a bowie knife.  Karl and his friends were unarmed and one fled immediately when he spotted the gang members.  Another of his friends threw himself on the ground and started throwing snow in his face.  The other retreated.  Karl held his ground and made a move towards the tallest attacker, expecting to feel cold steel in his back from the guy with the blade.  Then he discovered the reason that his friend had this particular affection towards snow.  The tall one just stuck out his hand and sprayed Karl with a dog repellent.  Fight was over.  Karl followed his friend's example, throwing snow in his eyes to wash them out.  An elderly couple stopped by and took them to the hospital.
     The one friend who fled went to a restaurant for help.  There by coincidence, were members of the gang that their attackers mistook them for.  They asked Karl's friend if any stayed to fight.  When they learned that Karl did, they ran to his aid, but he was already on his way to the hospital.
     To make a long story short, the gang made Karl a bid to join their group.  At first Karl rejected it, but upon further consideration took them up on it with one proviso, they would give him a charter to start his own chapter.  So, that started Karl down the path of gang leader.
     There were many adventures from his gang days that space prohibits us from detailing but there are two that perhaps encapsulate them.
     Once his gang and another had a territorial dispute.  This led to a fight arrangement.  The problem was that a car load of Karl's gang had car trouble.  No cell phones back in those days so you figured they chickened out or something.  Anyways, that meant there was only Karl and two others.  When three carloads of the other gang showed up, one of Karl's companions took off with apologies.  Karl told his remaining companion that he wasn't any good at running, so he and his companion charged into the three carloads.  Karl got his nose broken for the first time.  The lost carload later showed up and they settled accounts that night.
     The very gang they fought that night, they eventually made an alliance with.  Later on two of their members (one from Karl's group and the other from their ally's group) were jumped by another gang and hospitalized.  One was concussed and beaten badly.  The other had a giant "V" carved into his back.  Their gang jackets were taken.  A gang ritual at the time was to take a rival gang's jacket and hang them upside down on your gang's clubhouse or hangout.  The two hospitalized members tried to get Karl to pledge that he wouldn't act till they got out, but Karl didn't answer.  When they got in the elevator one of the four who accompanied Karl asked what they were going to do.  Karl's response, 'We are going to get those jackets'.
     They went straight to the other gang's clubhouse, kicked in the door, confiscated a 38 they found, 'did a polka' on one of the rival gang member's head, and stuffed the jagged end of a bottle in another's back who was trying to escape through a window.  That last act was actually done by Karl's long time friend and companion from the night he got his nose broken.  They also recovered both jackets, destroyed a stereo system and confiscated a number of records.  Later, when the two that were hospitalized were released, the other gang's club house caught fire.  No mercy!
        Drugs were a part of gang culture.  Karl makes no bones that he experimented with them.  Mainly 'speed' or 'downers', whatever was available at the time, and in pill form.  He tried LSD once or twice.  Nothing you shot in your arms.  No coke or cocaine.  It was actually drugs that caused him to close the gang chapter in his life.  One day, while partying, he stepped back and watched his friends acting all crazy.  it was then that he decided that he didn't want to pass that kind of society on to posterity.  Karl quit his gang and the drugs and started down a different path.
Like A Rock!
     Karl's political transformation didn't occur overnight.  He had always considered the anti-war demonstrations of the 1960's to have been communist sympathizers but proving it was a totally different thing.  He came upon an advertisement for a book entitled, "Behind Communism"by Frank Britton which is a well documented look at the Jewish origins of communism.  At first it was pretty hard for Karl to take all of this in.
     Unknown to Karl at the time, the source that he ordered this book from was actually a front for the National Socialist White People's Party (NSWPP) or what was once called the American Nazi Party.  He went on to order such books as 'White Power' by Rockwell, 'White America' by Cox, and eventually 'Mein Kampf' by Hitler.  He also bought a copy of 'Rockwell at Brown University', a recording of Rockwell at that university.
     Eventually, Karl affiliated with the NSWPP.  His first activity was a solo literature distribution.  He put on an armband, took a bus to a shopping plaza and started handing out literature to passersby.  The police chased him away as it was privately owned but he did get out quite a few copies before that happened.
     He eventually made it down to NSWPP headquarters to attend a rally and demonstration.  Lots of picture taking by tourists of uniformed Nazis marching around America's capital.
     His literature distributions caused headquarters to put enough confidence in him so that when someone started organizing in Pittsburgh, they put Karl in touch with him.  This individual had some connections in Buffalo that went way back.  Because of this, Karl was able to convince him to relocate to Buffalo.  Karl then recruited one or two from his gang, indoctrinating them and thus a nucleus of supporters and activists was formed.
     One day Karl read in the paper that 13 groups, all commie groups (but that wasn't mentioned) was holding a meeting to honor Martin Luther King.  Karl couldn't ignore this treason so on short notice he got the man from Pittsburgh to go in mufti as a photographer, and another man to join him in uniform to demonstrate.  This was in a 'recreation center' between two black projects and at night.  They carried signs that read: "White Power" and "Niggers and Reds Executed Free of Charge".  Needless to say a fight broke out and Karl and the cause broke into the Buffalo news scene.
     After that Karl demonstrated many other times, once in front of a Jew owned porn store that led to his arrest on an anti-Nazi uniform law.  Another time, he and another distributed literature in support of the White kids at riot-torn Kensington High School, where he was also arrested.
     While with the NSWPP Karl opened a White Power bookstore at Bailey and E. Ferry, which became the scene of many battles and at least one shooting by a black.
     Karl left the NSWPP and joined the KKK led by David Duke.  The demonstrations and literature distributions continued.  Then one night a nigger made sexual advances at the wife of a Klansman.  He got a bullet stuck in his throat as a result.  Karl admitted that he was at the scene but denied any knowledge of the shooting.  He was arrested anyway, and when the blacks couldn't identify him, charges were dropped.
     Confronting communists also continued.  Once Karl and two other Klansmen fought it out in the chambers of Buffalo's City Hall with a group of commies.  The media told of 'bloodied Klansmen'.  They did not mention that the part of Karl that was bloodied, the only part, were his knuckles.  Nor did they mention that the opposition were commies, only that they were 'anti-racists'.
     Karl joined David Duke's national staff, and as the National Organizer, was the second highest officer in that group.  He edited the group's newspaper, 'The Crusader', and its internal publication, 'KKK Action'.
     Shortly after leaving the Klan, Karl attempted suicide.  There was a tremendous amount of speculation about this matter which Karl tried to publicly put to rest.  One rumor was that the Klan had something to do with this, because 'you did not just quit the KKK'. Another was that some police agency was involved.  In actuality, Karl was on the lam at the time for another shooting in New Jersey.  The media was relishing the possibility that Karl had to go in front of a Jew judge, and that he might get sent to some nigger prison hell-hole.  So rather than give them his pound of flesh and a trophy, Karl opted out.
     As a result of this, Karl go a cadaver kidney transplant back in 1980.  It was originally intended to go to a black man but he chickened out and Karl leapt at the chance.  The media has speculated that this was a black's kidney, in truth, Karl doesn't know or care.  All he knows is that fate gave him a second opportunity and he took it.  He is now one of the longest surviving kidney transplants in the world.
     Karl was married in a ceremony performed by former KKK Grand Dragon, Robert E. Miles.  His best man was Tom Metzger.  The ceremony was the formal wedding ceremony of the SS.
     In 1986, Karl was arrested for shooting a hooligan who along with his friends had been harassing his wife because of their political activism.  When a woman and a man marries, his cause becomes her cause, and Karl saw no alternative but to act decisively as his wife was nearing a nervous breakdown.  He served nearly eight years.  While in prison, his wife divorced him.  Also while in prison, he conceived the concept of the Racial Nationalist Party of America and wrote its handbook.  He left prison with just $40. in his pocket, and the idea to build a movement on legal and political grounds, that would act as the vanguard for the beleaguered White community.  End.
