James Nolan Mason (born July 25, 1952)[1] is an American neo-Nazi.[2] Mason is an ideologue for the Atomwaffen Division, a neo-Nazi terrorist organization.[2][3][4][5] After growing disillusioned with the mass movement approach of neo-Nazi movements, he began advocating for a white supremacist revolution through terrorism. He was referred to as the "Godfather of Fascist Terrorism" in the Fair Observer.[6] He has been convicted of assault and weapons charges, as well as charged with sexual exploitation and possession of pornographic images of a minor. In 2021, Mason was one of only two individuals sanctioned by the Canadian Government on its list of terror-related entities.[7][8][9]
Even within the alt-right — a loose association of white supremacists and fascists — the Atomwaffen Division is considered extreme.
