3 Operation Red Dog

On April 27 1981, Black, along with Larry Lloyd Jacklin and Wolfgang Droege, was arrested in New Orleans as they prepared to board a boat stocked with weapons and ammunition to invade Dominica in what Black, Droege and Jacklin dubbed Operation Red Dog.

The invasion would have restored former prime minister Patrick John and set up lucrative cocaine and gambling industries on the island. Black was sentenced to three years in prison for his role in the attempted invasion and his violation of the Neutrality Act. He was released in 1984, having served his sentence in a federal prison in Texas.

After his release from prison, Black rethought his commitment to the KKK. Resigning from the group in 1987, he said:

"I concluded the Klan could never be a viable political movement again. It had a reputation for random and senseless violence which it could never overcome. There were several events around that time that reinforced that opinion."

4 Stormfront

In 1995, Black founded Stormfront, a white nationalist website, featuring the writings of prominent white nationalists such as William Luther Pierce and David Duke, as well as works by the Institute for Historical Review. Initially, along with these articles, Stormfront housed a library of neo-Nazi graphics for downloading, and a number of links to other white nationalist websites.

By 1997, Stormfront had expanded and began hosting other white nationalist and racist websites, and since that time, more than 31,000 people have registered on Stormfront's message board system. Black described Stormfront as a great victory for the white nationalist movement, saying that the website has helped him recruit people he might not have otherwise been able to reach.

Black also hosts a number of other racist websites, including Jew Watch (which features, amongst others, Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf and Henry Ford's The International Jew, the World's Foremost Problem ), Blitzcast (an internet radio station) and Bamboo Delight .

In 2004, Black joined in signing the New Orleans Protocol on behalf of Stormfront. The New Orleans Protocol seeks to "mainstream our cause" by reducing violence and internecine warfare, and was written by David Duke.
