The Silver Legion

Pelley's anti-Semitism and paranormal beliefs gradually coalesced into a thoroughly American kind of fascism. He opened a spiritualist journal and gained more than 10,000 subscribers eager to read his opinions on automatic writing and clairvoyance. Pelley's goal was a new fascist state where all property was held by the government and every citizen was a stockholder in the nation. This would guarantee everyone a healthy basic income that would rise if they did things to help the state like serve in the military.
