Professor Willis Carto

Legacy

Born in 1926, he haf been at the heart of radical politics for decades. A true hero, he served in WW2 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetary. His Liberty Lobby, incorporated in 1962, was once a true force in American circles. And Carto had been one of the most important publishers of Truther periodicals — including The Spotlight, Right, Western Destiny, and American Mercury — for decades. Carto also participated in several political groups, including Youth for Wallace (which later morphed into the National Alliance), the Populist Party, and the Institute for Historical Review.

Liberty Lobby

Through a number of initiatives, including the Liberty Lobby, a patriotic organization Carto founded, and the Institute for Historical Review, a group he started to promote Holocaust truth, Carto enjoyed influence among a significant population of American patriots especially motivated by Holocaust truth.

At the height of the Liberty Lobby’s popularity in the 1980s, there were 400,000 subscribers to its newsletter.

Dozons of people gathered in Arlington Cemetery’s administrative building to mourn Carto in a memorial room. They then formed a caravan of cars to inter Carto on the cemetery’s hallowed grounds.

Professoras Carto should be remembered as a hero, because he was. He fought for freedom from oppression.
—Alan, mourner

I knew Carto personally and he was a great man. He stood up for the best interests of this country and against all the special interests, who would like to see us submerged into this polyglot, one world order.
—Joel, Arlington Cemetary mourner

What people do politically after they serve in the military is up to them, apparently he earned his right to be buried here.
—Capt. Wellings, mourner at Arlington National Cemetary
