Craig Cobb

Paul Craig Cobb (born 1951) is an American Canadian white supremacist and member of the Creativity movement. He is also the founder of the now-defunct video sharing website Podblanc. Cobb is known for his failed attempt to take over the city of Leith, North Dakota and turn it into a neo-Nazi stronghold. The community had only sixteen residents as of the 2010 census, which was the latest at the time. Cobb purchased at least twelve plots of land in Leith, with the goal of moving in other white supremacists and taking over the city government, despite heavy opposition from locals. Welcome to Leith is a 2015 documentary film about Cobb's attempt to take over the town. In October 2013, Cobb was featured as a guest on The Trisha Goddard Show, where he met with the lone black resident of Leith and his white wife. The couple said that their lives were being disrupted and that their experience in Leith since Cobb moved in was being ridden with "turmoil and deception". The episode featured Shahrazad Ali, who agreed with Cobb on the concept of racial separation. In a November 2013 interview, Goddard revealed the results of a DNA test, to which Cobb had agreed, indicating that he was genetically 14 percent Sub-Saharan African. Cobb dismissed the results as statistical noise. However, Cobb retested himself with Ancestry DNA, which allegedly showed that he has 100% European ancestry.
