Vanguard America is a far right white nationalist organization founded since 2014 and lead by United States Military veteran Dillon Irizarry. The organization calls itself "The Face of American Facism" and believes that America should be exclusively for White Americans. Vanguard America states in its manifesto that it is dedicated to preserving traditional family values while fighting against multiculturalism, globalism, and international Jews. ^[1]

Vanguard America was founded in 2014 in California. The current leader of Vanguard America, Dillon Irizarry, a military veteran from New Mexico, has been leading the group since early 2016. In August, 2017 the organization became a part of the Nationalist Front, an umbrella group co-led by Jeff Schoep, the leader of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement (United States), and Matthew Heimbach, the leader of the Traditionalist Workers Party.

Vanguard America was one of the five Alt right / White nationalist groups that participated in the 2017 Unite the Right Rally held on August 12, 2017 at Emancipation Park (formerly Lee Park) in Charlottesville, VA. Vanguard America members marched at the rally and gave out their shields to marchers at the rally.

James Alex Fields Jr. who rammed his car into a group of protesters at the 2017 Unite the Right Rally killing one and injuring several others is a supporter of Vanguard America. He was photographed at the rally wearing the Vanguard America uniform of a white polo shirt and khakis while carrying a Vanguard America Shield.

On August 12, 2017 Vanguard America responded to the allegations in a post on Twitter stating that James Alex Fields is not a member of the group. Vanguard America also emphasized in the statement that carrying the group's shield and wearing their uniform does denote membership. The organization also states that all of their members were safe and accounted for with no arrests or charges.

America was built in the image of the Roman Republic. Its capitol, imagery, and goals were set with good intentions on that foundation. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions, however, and our nation is surrounded in brimstone. The time of the Republic has passed in America, as the system grows weak. Arrogance and delusions of infinite power have brought the state to the point of buckling. The damage done to this nation and its people will not be fixed if every issue requires a vote, if every point must be debated, discussed, or deliberated upon. Democracy has failed in this once great nation, now the time for a new Caesar to revive the American spirit has dawned.

A Nation For Our People – An America based on the immutable truths of Blood and Soil. A multicultural nation is no nation at all, but a collection of smaller ethnic nations ruled over by an overbearing tyrannical state. Our America is to be a nation exclusively for the White American peoples who out of the barren hills, empty plains, and vast mountains forged the most powerful nation to ever have existed. Vanguard America stands indomitably opposed to the tyranny of globalism and capitalism, a system under which nations are stripped of their heritage and their people are turned into nothing more than units of cheap, expendable labor. Vanguard America, and our nationalist allies across the Western world see a world of nations ruled by their own people, for their own people.

A Nation Of Values – In an increasingly materialistic world, it is vital now more than ever to create a society based on preserving and upholding the natural order that binds us. A strong social order based on natural truths is necessary to the health of any society. Human nature should be the foundation of all civilizations, and the starting point for ideologies, not something to be rejected in pursuit of unnatural aims which contradict it. The ideal structure of a family is one in which a hard-working father and nurturing mother instill strong values in the children of our nation. This family structure is, and has proven to be, the strongest core foundation for any nation, and thus any assault on the family must be met with swift and decisive action. We realize that equality does not exist in nature, and a government based in the natural law must not cater to the false notions of equality.

An Independent, United Nation – A nation based upon the values of self-reliance and fellowship must be created which stands entirely apart from the dictatorship of international finance. Like all independent nations, America should strive for a truly national economy. An economy that is self-contained, and free from the influence of international corporations, led by a rootless group of international Jews, which place profit beyond the interests of our people, or any people. Neither for the rich or the poor, ours should be an economy directed to act in the interest of our people and our people alone. America should protect the man’s right to fulfilling work, so that every hardworking man can provide for his wife and children. His labor will be directed to serve the interests of the national community. The chains of debt slavery wrap themselves tight around White Americans, such conditions must be reversed. A new generation of corporate leaders, who hold the interests of White America first and foremost, will naturally rise to the top of this new economy.

The free market is not the enemy, but global finance is. Average businesses will keep their usual functions and retain a profit motive However, the large multinational corporations that have bled this nation dry will not be allowed to continue their detrimental efforts unabated. Once they are brought to heel, our currency will no longer be manipulated on the whims of the vested few, our jobs and industry will not be exported to foreign nations, and the media and entertainment industry will no longer be allowed to poison the minds of our people.
