The Order

The Order is a faction of the Aryan Nations Church of Northwest Idaho and was formed in the 1980s. FBI agent Wayne Mantis stated "This was undoubtedly the most organized group of terrorist-type people to have ever operated in the United States".

The order was led by Robert Mathews, a white supremacist. His beliefs were influenced by the Turner Diaries, which influenced the Christian Identity Movement.
