The Right Hand was a right-wing organization founded by Denny Markham in response to what he believed was a government that would be unable to protect people in the future. The group operated out of a compound in Demeter, Virginia that was protected by barbed-wire fencing and several rotweillers, which Markham used to frighten Mulder and Scully when they came to speak with him. Scully commented that Markham's arsenal was larger than most third-world countries'.
The group's insignia was a right hand and Markham claimed there were over 2000 names on the mailing list.
