Beware: This evil racist is using our national hero to push his vile views on young Scots; EXCLUSIVE: NEO-NAZI INSPIRED BOMBER McVEIGH.

Byline: GRAHAM TIBBETTS

A WHITE supremacist who inspired Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh is using Braveheart William Wallace in a chilling bid to recruit vulnerable young Scots.

Evil William Pierce penned a terrorist novel read by McVeigh, who killed 168 people by blowing up a US government building in 1995.

And the Scottish Mirror can reveal that evil Pierce, founder of the neo-Nazi National Alliance, now has a fanatical base of followers in Scotland.

They stir up racial fear and hatred in workplaces and universities across the country.

Speaking from his base in West Virginia, Hitler-loving Pierce, 66, said: "We have different members who operate in different ways in Scotland.

"Every member has a responsibility to represent the National Alliance in a way that suits his situation.

"Some engage in one-on-one recruiting. If there is someone at work or university who would make a suitable recruit they will engage them and draw them out to see whether they fit the bill.

"Other members engage in distribution of literature to the public.

"And some use their special skills to help us in computer programming or writing for our publications."

Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and St Andrews - where Prince William begins studying in October - Universities are understood to be favoured recruitment areas.

The neo-Nazis also trawl hang-outs populated by impressionable teenagers and affluent 20-somethings to help organise at a local level and assist with fundraising.

Pierce is a right-wing fanatical who describes Timothy McVeigh as "a man of principle".

He says of McVeigh's murders: "I don't regret Oklahoma.

"I'm sorry whenever civilians are killed, just as I am sorry for people who died in the London blitz, and people who died in the fire-bombing of Dresden.

"But the people who were conducting the war on both sides took the bigger view. They did it because they saw the bigger picture.

"They wanted their side to prevail and accepted killing women and kids. Timothy McVeigh felt the same way."

But he adds that McVeigh was not part of his organisation and was not acting under his instruction when he planted his murderous bomb.

Pierce says of blacks: "I'm against them being part of my society and having an influence on my society and the way people behave and think. I'm very much against it.

"If blacks are in Africa, doing their own thing, I don't care what they do, I don't have any particular grievance against them.

"The only reason I speak out against blacks is that they're doing what they're doing here, to my people."

Pierce is now trying to spread his sick propaganda in Scotland.

He urges his Scots supporters to use freedom fighter William Wallace and other Scots legends as role models to get across his warped message.

In a terrifying rallying cry he said: "William Wallace was a hero - someone the Scots can be proud of.

"They should emulate him by being proud and standing up for the people and not watching the flood of non-white immigrants pour into Scotland.

"I don't think William Wallace would have stood still and watched it happen - he would have wrecked havoc among the people in the Scottish government for allowing this to happen."

He called on his members to use the 1995 blockbuster Braveheart, starring Mel Gibson as the warrior who battled the English, to boost their recruitment campaign.

Pierce, who is banned from coming to the UK amid fears he will incite race wars, said: "Members should be showing the video to recruit people.

"They should also use written material, like books and poetry.

"Every Scot ought to be familiar with the works of Robert Burns and the great figures in Scottish history and culture."

He claimed racial tension was mounting in Scotland as more immigrants entered the country.

Pierce said: "Scotland has been a little bit protected from some of the degenerative trends we have had in America since World War II.

"But that may be changing now and some of the ills which have cropped up in England are spreading to Scotland.

"The Scots may be more concerned about these things in the future than they have been in the past."

He also delivered a sick battle cry to his Scots followers, who pay pounds 7 a month to be part of the National Alliance.

He said: "Just be diligent and strong and eventually we will win. It may seem difficult now but keep up the fight and use Wallace as an example."

A spokesman for the Anti-Nazi League said Pierce had close links to the British National Party and attacked his use of Wallace in his propaganda campaign.

She said: "It's quite incredible that he wants to compare William Wallace with fascist historical figures like Hitler and Mussolini.

"Wallace was a popular figure in Scotland but Hitler and his ideas are not. Pierce is trying to use Wallace to lend some sort of legitimacy to his campaign.

"It is a ridiculous comparison - Wallace was not a Nazi."

Pierce wrote The Turner Diaries in the 1970s in which the hero is a gun enthusiast who uses political assassinations and race war to start an Aryan revolution.

McVeigh, 33, carried a copy of the book and gave copies to friends and family before bombing the Alfred P Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma.

He was later sentenced to death and will be given a lethal injection in prison in Indiana on June 11.
