Kevin Alfred Strom is, first and foremost, a father of seven and a husband. He previously worked as a radio producer; he founded the pirate radio station Voice of Tomorrow and then, for over 10 years, co-hosted the popular program American Dissident Voices with William Luther Pierce (most of Pierce’s essays came from this program). A whole generation of White Nationalists grew up on the broadcasts and transcripts of this program. In its day, it was an exceptionally influential program.
Kevin Alfred Strom is a former radio technician; he is also a writer, intellectual, editor, graphic designer, amateur radio operator, and computer enthusiast, as well as a publisher of books and online publications. Kevin identifies as a racialist and a National Socialist. He considers these ideas to be good and the very essence of virtue. He is now 70 years old. He did his most significant life’s work for the National Alliance because the Alliance takes a deeply radical (and rational) stance on the issue of race and considers Jews to be racial aliens, biological parasites, and the relentless and irreconcilable enemies of all white people. To this day, the Alliance adheres to a cosmotheistic, non-Christian spiritual foundation.
To the mainstream media, Kevin is an “evil racist” whose quote was mistakenly attributed to Voltaire “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” Quoting Kevin is at your own risk. (Elon Musk and Thomas Massie recently found this out the hard way and were duly criticized for quoting him, while Jimmy Dore somehow got away with it without much pushback, perhaps because he no longer cares what others think of him.) Kevin likes to add on this topic that even the great Voltaire said a whole host of things that are just as “anti-Semitic”—that is, pointing out reality—as anything he himself has ever said. Kevin’s quote, of course, referred mainly to Jews—and to others who have illegitimate power.
For his activities, Kevin has faced accusations of pedophilia, assault, smear campaigns by the mainstream media, false charges of terrorism, threats, and so on. He was also accused by people within his own party of “destroying the National Alliance” (in reality, together with Will White Williams, he saved the organization from those who were trying to break it up). Despite all the hardships, Kevin does not complain and continues his important work for the National Alliance and, on a larger scale, for the entire white race.
In the interview, we talked about his upbringing, his past, his hobbies, “The Quote That Never Dies,” and his long career as a nationalist activist.
Ondrej Mann: Could you tell us a little about your childhood—how and where you grew up, and what led to your racial awakening?
Kevin Alfred Strom: I was born in 1956 in Anchorage, Territory of Alaska. My parents were both Norwegian-descended Minnesota farm kids. They were third-generation Americans. Both sides of my family arrived in far northwestern Minnesota, near McIntosh, around 1870. I remember that my maternal grandfather Oscar Thoveson had some relatives who moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and my mother’s family would go there sometimes. My paternal grandfather, Alfred Strom, built his own farmhouse and barn and granaries with his own two hands.
My recorded ancestry is entirely Norwegian. A few years ago my mother and I had our DNA analyzed and there’s a very small amount of Baltic and Finnish in my family tree too, from my mother’s side.
