Neo Nazi leader gains tax exemption in West Virginia
William Pierce, leader of the National Alliance, moves to a 345 acre Pocahontas County farm near Mill Point and receives property tax exemption for the Cosmotheist Community church. IRS had previously exempted the group in 1978 but denied the National Alliance in 1983. Local officials question the exemption while authorities note Pierce’s past and ties to The Turner Diaries. Pierce and associate Trainor are involved with the farm and church activities, with officials reconsidering blanket tax exemption on the property.
