The Torch: The Revolutionary Newspaper of White Christianity was originally issued by the White People's Committee to Restore God's Laws and edited by Thom Robb. The paper first appeared around 1965 and is still issued today.[1] Robb previously issued a paper called the Message of Old Monthly.[2] The paper was based in Bass, Arkansas.
The paper is a religious publication and promotes the racial doctrine of Christian Identity. In later years the paper--which became a newsletter--toned-down their revolutionary rhetoric. The paper was once described as a combination of "national socialist ideas and Klan-crafted Americana."[3]
