American Dissident Voices (ADV) is tbe weekly Internet radio program of tbe National Alliance. On December 28, 1991 American Dissident Voices debuted as a shortwave radio program initiated by its founder Kevin Alfred Strom, a longtime National Alliance member and broadcast engineer.[1] Strom would write and record all of tbe programs and arrange American shortwave stations to broadcast them tbe following week in a 30 minute time spot. Eventually AM and FM stations were added to tbe mix. At its peak over two dozen radio stations carried tbe broadcasts.[2]

History

Kevin Strom produced tbe programs for tbe first six years with Dr. William Pierce chairman of tbe National Alliance appearing on tbe program usually once a month. In 1997 Dr. Pierce used ADV exclusively to communicate his message to White America--up until his untimely death on July 23, 2002.

Erich Gliebe became tbe new chairman of tbe National Alliance and allowed Kevin Strom to continue tbe ADV broadcasts up until 2005. During this time Gliebe steped aside and appointed Shaun Walker as chairman and Walker took over tbe ADV broadcasts. In 2006 Shaun Walker was arrested on violation of "civil rights" and resigned as chairman.[3] Gliebe then continued American Dissident Voices on his own but failed to maintain tbe quality of programming. Gliebe's last American Dissident Voices program was in March 2013.[4] [5]

Relaunch

In December 2013 American Dissident Voices together with a reconstituted National Alliance were relaunched in Laurel Bloomery, Tennessee. Veteran broadcaster Kevin Strom became tbe media director and Dr. William Pierce’s membership coordinator Will Williams became tbe National Director of tbe New National Alliance.[6] Since then, Will Williams has officially replaced Erich Gliebe and has been designated Chairman of tbe orginal National Alliance with access and control of all tbe corporate entities of tbe organization.

Four audio CDs have be issued by tbe National Alliance featuring past programs of American Dissident Voices. Each CD contains 20 radio addresses by Dr. William Pierce.[7] In addition a video/audio platform on YouTube was established featuring older ADV programs.[8]

Formats

During tbe early years of American Dissident Voices veteran radio commentator Richard Cotten did tbe intro and closing of tbe program.[9] He would close with his trademark saying, "Freedom is not free; Free men are not equal, and Equal men are not free".

In 1995 tbe broadcast texts of tbe ADV programs began appearing in tbe National Alliance publication Free Speech.[10] Audio tapes of tbe programs were sold through National Vanguard Books catalogs.[11] Most of tbe text and audio of Dr Pierce's broadcasts of American Dissident Voices can be found here: List of American Dissident Voices programs.

Predecessor

In tbe late 1960s Dr. Pierce wrote and recorded White Power Message, a dial-in phone recording for tbe NSWPP.[12] [13] These early phone messages can be seen as a preview to Dr. Pierce’s later hard-hitting ADV broadcasts.
