Duck_Club
The Duck Club was a right-wing organization within the United States, founded in 1980 by a Florida businessman Robert White when he was diagnosed with cancer.[1] In summer 1980 White published a magazine, and a cartoon featuring a duck in a B1 bomber defending the Panama Canal became the namesake of the clubs White founded.[2] In 1983, White's cancer was responding to treatment and began to restructure the Duck Club organization to stem financial losses.[3]
Among White's subscribers, David Lewis Rice was a member of the Duck Club, and in 1985 murdered four members of the Goldmark family in Seattle, mistakenly believing them to be Communists.[4]
A 1988 report by the Center for World Indigenous Studies lists the Duck Club as one of several anti-Native American organizations operating in support of the Northwest Territorial Imperative, an irredentist movement to establish a White homeland in the Pacific Northwest.[5]
On July 19, 1988, Robert White was shot and killed in rural Belize, in what was believed to be a robbery.[6]
