Eric Orwoll’s Return to the Land project has been getting a lot of attention.
For those of you who haven’t heard about this, we are talking about an LLC that exists on 160 acres of private land in the Ozarks near Ravenden in northeast Arkansas. It has attracted about 40 idealistic people from around the country who are living there in tiny homes, tents and campers and who are relying on well water and growing their own food. The idea is to create a White intentional community that skirts fair housing laws and which can become a model for similar settlements in other states.
“The wooded hills outside Ravenden in neighboring Lawrence County have become the focus of growing concern as reports confirm the development of a whites-only community known as Return to the Land, a project led by self-described identitarians Eric Orwoll and Peter Csere.
Operating under the name Wisdom Woods LLC, the group is building what it calls a “parallel society” on 160 acres of privately owned land in Sharp County. Public business filings show the organization’s address listed as 480 Browns Creek Road. The property currently includes tents, campers and portable buildings, with some residents living in small structures and relying on well water, outhouses and homegrown food.
Civil rights watchdogs, including the Anti-Defamation League, warn the group may be violating federal housing discrimination laws by restricting membership and residency based explicitly on race. The group’s published materials state that only white applicants of European descent may join, with Jewish and nonwhite individuals banned entirely. Applicants must submit to interviews and written ancestry verification before being accepted. …”
I’m skeptical of this idea.
I want to learn more though before forming a firm opinion.
I read of this on Nordfront….. This is also the idea of Matt Parrott: create a white enclaves in order to create communities of white where preserve culture and not be persecuted by others.
The American Orania 🙂
I noticed in the comments that blacks and Hispanics were just fine with the concept, there’s only one group calling for its abolishment, every single time !
If they structure it as some association, club or religion they can skirt the law, if it isn’t open to the general public. You can be certain that ADL , SPLC and other chosen groups will be doing everything with their money and lawyers to wreck this. If nothing else, they will try to ruin them with prolonged litigation and legal endangerment.
I have always thought that some well to do farmer could take a segment of their farmland and open it to ‘friends’ with some sort of cooperative agreement.
If this is found to be legal, the juice fear that this could spread across the nation as a trend. The very last thing the juice want is for WHITES to form solid communities of like minded people who will work and learn cooperatively.
Under ‘Freedom of Association’ this should be entirely legal, but our Constitutional Rights have been juiced.
The concept is excellent, how it can be implemented idk.
Addendum:
If they base this on race they are asking for legal problems, if they cloak this with some sort of religion, like Cosmotheism, they would be free of all the Marxist woke laws.
They are going to help each other, and they are going to do just fine. I know their kind.
I don t want to be a “ nay sayer “ as I think the head guy in this is very intelligent , handsome and has a family .
But , IMO this Ian t going anywhere – our people don t organize well on just being “ White “ – the head guy is being naive if he thinks the Libs , SpLC , state attorney Generals won t use “ law fare “ to take this down same ad was done to Vdare .
Plus, thus White community hash t really a program to provide jobs , a separate economy like in Orania , the Amish .
Are these people farmers ?
IMO they should finesse race and make it a religious community – similar to Orthodox Jews .
It’s a thought-provoking concept, an all-White community. Gets the normies thinking; especially, as they are lately inundated with news video footage of blacks behaving very badly and attacking random White people into the mix. (Not to mention endless examples of same on social media) That, juxtaposed with this very well-spoken, thoughtful gentleman, Eric Orwoll, who unabashedly works towards what is a basic human right — if anything is — freedom of association in one’s personal living situation. I’ve seen him in several video presentations, and he is an excellent spokesman for the much beleaguered White family unit.
You are, of course, correct about the lawfare that will ensue. Even so, this is getting tons of free publicity, and Orwoll has stated that most non-media, non-jewish feedback has been very positive. The hostile media interviews are so ham-handed — “but-this-is-racist-wow-just-wow!” — that it makes Mr. Orwoll and his Wisdom Woods concept look quite reasonable.
They should never talk to the press. They want to get their story out, attract new recruits, donations etc. but the absolute worst way to get publicity is to allow the Lügenpresse to step one inch on their property or to say one word to them. Now they are on the radar of The Usual Suspects who cannot afford to let any such organizations get started.
The Lügenpresse controls the editing process back in the studio. No matter how reasonable these people are, no matter what good points they make, no matter how friendly, they will still be portrayed as lunatics, horrible, full of hatred, crazy, dangerous etc. The (so-called) “Civil Rights” (sic) laws only apply to White people: full stop. Other racial groups can form “intentional communities” all they want, just not White people. That’s just the way it is, for now at least.
“The wooded hills outside Ravenden in neighboring Lawrence County have become the focus of growing concern” b/c white people.
That first line.
See, the problem with our current paradigm is that certain things have become so ingrained into the collective mindset that even the silliest of statements can sound ominous and foreboding. Think about it, if we Pavlov Dogg’ed enough people into thinking white kittens with black mitten feet are somehow dangerous, eventually every kitten born with black mitten feet would be killed. It’s how superstitions come to be. The delusion of thinking a community of exclusionary white people living separated from society is essentially superstitious thinking.
I mean think about it, almost any other “reason” for wanting to live separately from society can be defended by these people. People who want to separate to live off the grid b/c of climate change would get romanticized documentaries produced about them. If a community of blacks wanted to live exclusively away from whites because of “systemic discrimination”, they’d be promoting the leader of the community for president. None of these circumstances can invite criticism or concern, because to our betters these are heroic efforts.
I think If you could get enough people living in Plato’s Cave to step back and really think about the absurdity of such thinking, we might stand a chance of changing things. That’s the problem.
We dont need to flee. Just wherever we are, cities or rural places, whites need to stick together. No fancy tricks. Just learn solidarity. You can exercise and model it anywhere.
Many mistakes.
1. Announcing it
2. LLC’s
3. Talking to any press, especially ENEMY press
4. Seeking to LEAD some type of MOVEMENT
If you want to do this and NOT be the next Ruby Ridge, just buy land and keep your mouth shut. Sell to friends and keep your mouth shut. Build your community and keep your mouth shut.
Eric made a dumb move by making all this public. CPS will now target all those kids, antifa will target the property, and jews etc will target with any BS lawfare they can just because they hate you.
Worst case scenario, some new type of overreaching legal precedent gets set so we can’t even do this they way I described.
I agree 100%, if this isn’t some psyop, the government’s just getting it’s agents ready to infiltrate probably as we speak, those folks are just going to be targets. Stay humble and subtle Whitey, no need to act like the of color ethnic pride groups like the weird ass nation of islam.
It’s an intelligence op… honey trap …
All superb points. They’ll be going after this hapless fool shortly. Note also how the gaslight media and their spells stretch even to the far corner of the MO/AR border in the Ozarks – a place presently being inundated with illegal cheap labor by Tysons, et al. Yet the white populace at large, who are basically like the Do-Do bird, still haven’t caught on to the hard fact that they are the target or to who is targeting them. It’s true more are getting a clue than ever before but the critical question is whether there is time to shift the window.
When government tyrants no longer honor their oath to the Constitution nor follow the laws they impose on us, the people, you are no longer obligated, as a free White American, to obey their unjust laws and edicts.
I don’t disagree. That being said, how many white officers would turn their weapons on black and other non-white police/military when the order is given by President Newsome to exterminate all in this settlement? My bet is that number would be very close to zero.

Which body politik are you? “Brides of Messiah/Christ” “Nationalism” or National Constitutionalists ?
My apologies for black pilling this story but it is what it is. I read about a group of people that bought a whole small lake and owned all of it. Worked great until one of the couples got divorced and the wife sold to Blacks. And it escalated from there until the whole place was lost. I don’t know how you could counter this.
Another bad trend I saw was a video the other day about van life people. Many Whites are just giving up on being financially raped and were moving into vans and motor homes. Well of course now they are passing laws that you can’t sleep in a car or a van or have RV’s parked for any small amount of time. They are also limiting or making it illegal to stay in parks. Of course “people of color” can do what they damn well please but it’s the Whites who have decided not to participate in the financial shellacking they are giving us the target. While many may fell this is silly I feel, myself, it is perfectly valid just to refuse to participate in the society that only wants to destroy them.
Another avenue they are trying to close is living in boats. Slowly making it more and more onerous. They don’t want anyone to escape.
They have enough people to form a church community. They are missing so many of the benefits of relegious protection in federal and state law.
WHITE are too forthright, explicitly stating it’s a racial community is inviting legal problems.
Copy Dr. PIERCE, form a religious community.
This will be infiltrated and run by feds in 3, 2, 1….
Whites and only Whites absolutely cannot be allowed to have an all-White ANYTHING. If this is allowed the next thing you know there will be 6 million more dead Jews.
This is the bottom line to Anti-White behavior: Not Another Holocaust. It explains how paranoid Jews are and how successful Anti-White propaganda has been.
I understand that there are exclusively Orthodox Jewish communities in the New York City area. The ADL doesn’t seem to have a problem with that.
Meanwhile, right in the middle of Ozarks (Seymour, Missouri), there is this big Swiss Amish community, which has astronomical birthrates, and which presumably has not been harassed by authorities, and are also probably “back to the land” already:

What I find hysterically funny is watching all the Black people MELTING DOWN over this.
Interestingly enough, the ones who bash Whites the most are the most upset about it.
We can have our Southern nationalist ethno state. Others can have their Norduc pagan state. And we can also have Catholic or Evangelical theocratic states. All we have to do is build them as the US Empire declines.
Working class whites are the whites most in need of sanctuaries such as this one. Our elites have done nothing for them, but have reserved all of their charity for nonwhites. As a race we need to attack affirmative action for the benefit of our white collar workers- they have been denied access to selective colleges, universities and professional schools since 1969 in favor of nonwhites, and have been replaced by nonwhites in positions of power and authority. As a race we shouldn’t acquiesce to being relegated to the lower rungs of the social ladder- I don’t know of any U. S. Senators or Congressmen who were electricians or plumbers before being elected to high office, and we don’t need to let the Left continue controlling our government and our lives. Instead, we need to take charge across the board.
