  • Episode 23: Andrew Anglin and The Daily Stormer

    This episode, Daniel tells Jack about Andrew Anglin and The Daily Stormer. Big content warnings for this one.

    Cantwell News:

    "As co-defendants fight discovery, Cantwell threatens lawyer," The Daily Progress. https://www.dailyprogress.com/news/local/as-co-defendants-fight-discovery-cantwell-threatens-lawyer/article_619851ce-8ad9-599b-88fa-6f289e90d400.html

    "On June 18 Cantwell posted an article about Roberta Kaplan, the lead lawyer on the case, to the messaging site Telegram, which is frequented by extremists.

    "After this stupid kike whore loses this fraudulent lawsuit, we're going to have a lot of fucking fun with her," Cantwell wrote.

    The threat was mentioned during a telephonic hearing Tuesday in federal court in Charlottesville, where lawyers discussed the snail's pace of the discovery process in the lawsuit that alleges organizers and key participants in the Aug. 12, 2017, white supremacist rally planned and promoted violence against protected groups.

    Cantwell has posted derogatory statements about Kaplan before, the plaintiffs' lawyers wrote in a motion filed Tuesday, but his recent statement is a "thinly-veiled threat" that impairs the lawyers' ability to carry out their work.

    The lawyers asked the court to enjoin Cantwell to refrain from any future threats.

    Cantwell already has been found guilty of assaulting and pepper-spraying activists on Aug. 11, 2017, and of violating conditions of his bond. He remains a defendant in another civil suit filed by people injured during the Unite the Right rally.

    On Tuesday afternoon, shortly after news stories about the motion were published, Cantwell posted about Kaplan again on Telegram, calling Kaplan a "lying piece of Jewish filth."

    "We are writing for the common man, so the language should be very simple, using a standard 8th grade vocabulary. The use of "college words" is extremely discouraged.

    The only situation in which an uncommon word should be used in when it is unavoidable, such as when it is needed to describe something technical, or a situation or phenomenon that is so specific that it requires a unique description."

    [...]

    "As a rule, every post should be filled with as much visual stimulation as possible. Pages should look exciting and appeal to the ADHD culture. This can't really be overdone. These include: •Straight images (pictures of persons, places, events) •Meme images (that you make yourself or find on other sites - fresh memes are best but old memes are good too) •Funny gifs •Twitter embeds •YouTube videos (or other video from other sites if necessary, following the above mentioned embed protocol)."

    [...]

    "Profanity should be used sparingly. An overuse of profanity can come across as goofy.

    "Nigger" is okay to use sometimes, but shouldn't be used constantly.

    The following racial slurs are allowed and advisable:

    •Negro/Negroid •Monkey •Ape •Spic •Wetback •Beaner •Beanperson •Kike •Yid •Sheeny •Christ-killer •Haji •Sandperson •Paki (can be used for non-Pakistani Moslems, especially Arabs, because that's funny) •Muzzie •Chink •Gook •Zipperhead

    And others The following are not allowed: •Shitskin •Latrino •(Any others relating to poop) •Mud (I just don't really like this term, it seems too much like SF boomer talk)

    While racial slurs are allowed/recommended, not every reference to non-white should not be a slur and their use should be based on the tone of the article. Generally, when using racial slurs, it should come across as half-joking - like a racist joke that everyone laughs at because it's true. This follows the generally light tone of the site."

    [...]

    "Prime Directive: Always Blame the Jews for Everything

    As Hitler says, people will become confused and disheartened if they feel there are multiple enemies. As such, all enemies should be combined into one enemy, which is the Jews. This is pretty much objectively true anyway, but we want to leave out any and all nuance.

    So no blaming Enlightenment thought, pathological altruism, technology/urbanization, etc. - just blame Jews for everything.

    This basically includes blaming Jews for the behavior of other nonwhites. Of course it should not be that they are innocent, but the message should always be that if we didn't have the Jews, we could figure out how to deal with nonwhites very easily.

    The same deal with women. Women should be attacked, but there should always be mention that if it wasn't for the Jews, they would be acting normally.

    What should be completely avoided is the sometimes mentioned idea that "even if we got rid of the Jews we would still have all these other problems." The Jews should always be the beginning and the end of every problem, from poverty to poor family dynamics to war to the destruction of the rainforest."

    [...]

    "Violence

    It's illegal to promote violence on the Internet. At the same time, it's totally important to normalize the acceptance of violence as an eventuality/inevitability.

    I'm extremely careful about never suggesting violence. I go beyond legal requirements in America. However, whenever someone does something violent, it should be made light of, laughed at.

    For example, Anders Breivik should be forever referred to as a heroic freedom fighter. This is great because people think you must be joking. But there is a part of their brain that doesn't think that.

    When it comes to more immediate violent trends, I'm slightly more careful. The burnings of migrant centers is one of these things. I'm slightly hesitant to say "patriotic heroes burn another might center," given that this could be construed as calling for more arson (whereas it can't be construed that I'm calling for Breivik to kill more brats).

    Dylann Roof I have labeled "DyRo," and though I offer explanations for what he did, I never condemn him. I also think it is very funny to say that he was simply defending himself when he was attacked in a church by black mamies trying to steal his iPhone. That sort of silly humor really bites at the Jew "pure evil" narrative."

    Anglin at the SPLC: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/andrew-anglin

    Classic Anglin:

    "War Machine Did Nothing Wrong." https://dailystormer.name/war-machine-did-nothing-wrong/

    "I don't usually defend deranged brown savages. But I'm going to right now.

    UFC fighter War Machine has been sentenced to life in prison for assault and battery, which is insane in itself.

    This is a situation where one person beat another person's ass. Pretty badly, okay. But that was all it was – an ass beating. There was no attempted murder. Somehow there are 29 felony convictions, and I don't even understand what that means – this was a single incident of someone getting their ass kicked.

    But on top of the nuttiness of "giving someone an ass beating" resulting in life imprisonment – the bitch deserved it, and no one anywhere can make an argument that she didn't....

    "Like, he had this meme about how anyone should be able to murder anyone at any time if they were capable of it. It was his main point. He talked about "in this day and age there is laws protecting the weak" – that is a quote. That he said a lot.

    Like he wanted literal Conanism.

    He took the philosophical position that anyone should be able to murder anyone at any time.

    He also did things like call for the assassination of Barack Obama and said that men in modern feminist societies are treated worse than Jews during the Holocaust.

    He has also said many other things that some people might consider to be awesome."

    "Corrective Rape Will Save Us." https://dailystormer.name/corrective-rape-will-save-us/

    "There was a time where good, average men had access to women and created their own families without having to play these games. Giving women agency as if they were something other than property was a grave mistake that needs correcting. They don't know what's best for them and they're incapable of appreciating the sacrifice men make for them to be safe and comfortable.

    Rape is the solution. Think about it. This slut was surrounded by like 30 men that wanted to have sex with her. Those men were subjected to stupid hoops and games and ended up gaining nothing and wasting a lot of time. It would have been easier for them to rape her, be done with it and move on towards productive stuff."

    "ISIS Claims Responsibility for Arianapocalypse As Police Searches Continue Across UK." https://dailystormer.name/isis-claims-responsibility-for-arianapocalypse-as-police-searches-continue-across-uk/

    "I know it is the culture, and people just go along with the culture, but if you're sending your 8-year-old daughter to see this:

    Then you do, by divine natural law, deserve to suffer for it in the most horrible imaginable way.

    I hope her parents didn't die with her.

    And I hope they are someday able to understand why they deserved this.

    There are laws in the universe. And when they are transgressed, these transgressions have consequences. Sadly – and I mean that genuinely, it is sad – it doesn't matter if you know you are breaking these laws or not.

    Rules still apply."

    "Andrew Anglin Exposed!"

    "I started out with normal Alex Jones type conspiracy material, and then moved on to weirder conspiracy material, and then eventually decided Ted Kaczinski was right with regards to a coming apocalypse due to the rapidity of technological development, read a bunch of stuff from Jaques Ellul and Jean Baudrillard, and went to live in a jungle in Asia for a while.

    To be clear, I was actually already living and working in Asia at the time, because it was just so much more sensible economically. Also, it is a lot of fun in Southeast Asia (China isn't), and all the White people you meet are outcast sorts who you can usually connect with easily (you aren't really spending much time with Asians). As the reader is aware, to this day I have little negative to say about Asians, save that I don't think they should be immigrating into Western countries (in any kind of numbers) and I don't think White people should be producing children with them. I will also say that Chinese people don't have souls.

    Having been raised mostly without exposure to non-Whites, this was when I first started thinking seriously about race as a biological concept. Eventually, I got fed up and realized that I couldn't live in a jungle with a bunch of 80 IQ jungle people.

    I had always been into 4chan, as I am at heart a troll. This is about the time /new/ was going full-Nazi, and so I got into Hitler, and realized that through this type of nationalist system, alienation could be replaced with community in a real sense, while the authoritarianism would allow for technology to develop in a direction that was beneficial rather than destructive to the people.

    Then, without really any knowledge at all of the contemporary White Nationalist scene, I started Total Fascism, a blog promoting total fascism."

    Columbus Alive, "White Nationalist From Worthington." https://www.columbusalive.com/entertainment/20170208/white-nationalist-from-worthington

    "In 2007, two freshman-year friends had strikingly similar run-ins with Anglin. On both occasions, Anglin expressed a deep interest in conspiracy theory and, in particular, reptilian humanoids, a concept that posits global leaders either are, or are controlled by, lizard-like beings. These theories would form the backbone of Anglin's first forays into blogging on his site Adventure Quest 2012, which launched with a post laying forth the site's mission to mend "the wounds produced by modern society ... and [help] the reader transcend these physical bonds and reach total ascendancy." "To mend these wounds," Anglin wrote, "the world must learn to embrace diversity and color."

    Later posts would delve into the lives of reptilians and humanoid sharks.

    [...]

    "Writing on his blog True Fascism, a precursor to the Daily Stormer first launched in 2012, Anglin described an affinity for Filipinos, referring to them as "a civilized, non-aggressive and industrious people." Over time, however, he started to believe it impossible to develop deeper, more meaningful relationships with the island dwellers, owing to what he described as "minds ... as primitive as their living."

    "While living in the jungle, I began drinking too much of a strong coconut wine brewed by the locals, began to feel deeply depressed and alone, and eventually left that life behind, forever," he wrote. "It was only among my own kind — those of the European race — that I would ever be able to share true kinship, as it is only they who share my blood, and can understand my soul. ... By the Grace of God, I found Adolf Hitler."

    After delving deeper into the writings of Hitler and former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, Anglin launched the short-lived Total Fascism, which included long-form posts about everything from Hitler's artwork to a written desire to round up non-white immigrants and place them in concentration camps "until they can be shipped back to wherever they are from." "

    The Atlantic, Luke O'Brien, "The Making of an American Nazi." https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/12/the-making-of-an-american-nazi/544119/

    "Former friends recall that Anglin's parents seemed blind to their son's alarming behavior. And while he could be tender toward his younger siblings, Chelsey and Mitch, and loyal to his friends, he also had a sadistic side. Alison (who asked that her last name be withheld from this article) told me that during Anglin's sophomore year, she called him, distraught: She said she'd passed out at a party and been raped by a friend's older brother. She needed compassion and support, but Anglin just laughed and broke up with her.

    "You're a slut," she remembers him saying.

    Several girls Anglin had gotten to know at another high school began calling her house at all hours of the night, according to Alison and other sources. "You deserved it," they'd say. "You slut." Alison says the abuse went on for weeks, as Anglin showed friends a video he'd made of them having sex.

    After the breakup, Dan Newman, another friend at the time, remembers Anglin once bashing his head into the walls of his bedroom in such a frenzy that his mother had to call the police. Several classmates told me that Anglin didn't date again in high school and sometimes tried to kiss other boys, including one black student he especially liked. Whether this behavior was authentic experimentation or just for shock value, it's notable in light of the extreme homophobia Anglin has since expressed on The Daily Stormer and elsewhere. He has advocated, for instance, throwing gays off buildings, isis-style."

    Lawsuits

    From the Atlantic piece:

    "At the time, Richard Spencer and Andrew Anglin barely knew each other. Spencer, who fancies himself white nationalism's leading intellectual, cloaks his racism in highbrow arguments. Anglin prefers the gutter, reveling in the vile language common on the worst internet message boards. But Spencer and Anglin had appeared together on a podcast the day before Sherry's Medium post was published and expressed their mutual admiration. Anglin declared it a "historic" occasion, a step toward greater unity on the extreme right.

    It was in this spirit that Anglin "doxed" Gersh and her husband, Judah, as well as other Jews in Whitefish, by publishing their contact information and other personal details on his website. He plastered their photographs with yellow stars emblazoned with jude and posted a picture of the Gershes' 12-year-old son superimposed on the gates at Auschwitz. He commanded his readers—his "Stormer Troll Army"—to "hit 'em up."

    "All of you deserve a bullet through your skull," one Stormer said in an email.

    "Put your uppity slut wife Tanya back in her cage, you rat-faced kike," another wrote to Judah.

    "You fucking wicked kike whore," Andrew Auernheimer, The Daily Stormer's webmaster, said in a voicemail for Gersh. "This is Trump's America now."

    Over the next week, the Stormers besieged Whitefish businesses, human-rights groups, city-council members—anyone potentially connected to the targets. A single harasser called Judah's office more than 500 times in three days, according to the Whitefish police. Gersh came home one night to find her husband sitting at home in the dark, suitcases on the floor, wondering whether they should flee. "I have never been so scared in my entire life," she later told me."

    "Anglin attorneys Marc Randazza and Mathew Stevenson filed a motion Tuesday to withdraw from the case. In their motion, Randazza said the attorney-client relationship "has broken down" and created an "irreconcilable conflict" for the defense.

    In a phone interview with the Missoulian, Randazza said he had little interest in continuing his representation of someone unwilling to follow a federal judge's order.

    "My client made the decision years ago he was going to expatriate himself and never return," Randazza said. "When a federal judge tells you to do something and you refuse, you put your lawyer in a difficult position."

    Randazza's filing to withdraw as counsel indicates the motion was sent to his client at an email address as well as four different physical addresses in Ohio."

    From the Atlantic piece, the results of The Optics Debate:

    "His panic was almost palpable as he tried to walk back the fearsome reputation he'd cultivated. "I am not actually a 'Neo‑Nazi White Supremacist,' nor do I know what that is," he wrote in mid-September. He claimed that his violent rhetoric was never sincere but simply a way to mock those who slap a Nazi label on anyone who "stands up for white people's rights" or "refuses to believe the stupid lies about Hitler" or rejects the "alleged Holocaust" narrative. Anglin now shared what he said had been his true editorial approach all along: "Ironic Nazism disguised as real Nazism disguised as ironic Nazism."

    Five days later, he posted about "the world being ruled either by reptiles from another dimension or some other type of reptilian or insectoid race of aliens." Where the irony started and stopped was hard to know. I emailed Anglin one more time asking for an interview. He didn't answer. The next day, he wrote a post calling for the mass execution of journalists. "I want to see pieces of journalist brains splattered across walls," he wrote."

  • Episode 22: Sam Harris (is not a nazi)

    Another departure for the show as Daniel and Jack chat about Sam Harris, inexplicably popular professional atheist, Intellectual Dark Webber, thought-experimenter, devil's advocate, mysteriously perennial victim of malicious context-removal, and definitely not a member of the far-right.

    Seriously... Sam Harris is not a nazi. The fact that we're talking about him on a podcast in which we normally talk about nazis (and fascists and white supremacists, etc) doesn't mean we're saying he is one. We're not.

    Nevertheless, we think he's relevant to our discussion.

    Something of a cathartic experience for both of us. We had fun.

    Show Notes:

    Sam Harris website: https://samharris.org/

    Sam Harris podcast, "Making Sense." https://samharris.org/podcast/

    SPLC: McInnes, Molyneux, and 4chan: Investigating pathways to the alt-right

    "The "skeptics" movement — whose adherents claim to challenge beliefs both scientific and spiritual by questioning the evidence and reasoning that underpin them — has also helped channel people into the alt-right by way of "human biodiversity." Sam Harris has been one of the movement's most public faces, and four posters on the TRS thread note his influence.

    "Under the guise of scientific objectivity, Harris has presented deeply flawed data to perpetuate fear of Muslims and to argue that black people are genetically inferior to whites. In a 2017 podcast, for instance, he argued that opposition to Muslim immigrants in European nations was "perfectly rational" because "you are importing, by definition, some percentage, however small, of radicalized people." He assured viewers, "This is not an expression of xenophobia; this is the implication of statistics." More recently, he invited Charles Murray on his podcast. Their conversation centered on an idea that lies far outside of scientific consensus: that racial differences in IQ scores are genetically based. Though mainstream behavioral scientists have demonstrated that intelligence is less significantly affected by genetics than environment (demonstrated by research that shows the IQ gap between black and white Americans is closing, and that the average American IQ has risen dramatically since the mid-twentieth century), Harris still dismissed any criticism of Murray's work as "politically correct moral panic."

    For posters on TRS, Harris' work blended easily into that of more overtly racist writers like Paul Kersey, whose popular blog, "Stuff Black People Don't Like," is reposted on American Renaissance. The site "really gets the noggin joggin and encourages you to search for answers," one user wrote. Their "biggest stepping stone" was from Harris' work to Kersey's blog: "It was there I learned about race realism, IQ, genetics, bell curves, and the economic/political drivers behind the pushing of 'diversity.'""

    Sam Harris on Recode/Decode:

    HARRIS: "But it's a larger problem that worries me that real liberals are vacating the space of rational conversation on certain topics, race and sex and gender and wealth and power and religion and immigration. Huge topics that a lot of people care about.

    And into that vacuum come right-wing nut cases, opportunists and grifters and narcissists like the president of the United States, and in the extreme, actual Nazis and white supremacists and, you know, populists of that flavor, who we shouldn't want to empower and we're empowering them, not just in the States, but I mean it's even worse in Europe. This is a global problem.

    This is a point that David Frum has made, which I think is right, whatever you think about David's politics. If liberals won't defend specific ideas like secure borders, people will elect fascists to do the job. Enough people care about these things that if you're going to call everyone a racist who's concerned about immigration, eventually only a racist who doesn't care about his reputation anymore will be elected to do that job."

    Sam Harris "What Do Jihadis Really Want?"

    Dabiq 15, referenced heavily in "What do Jihadis Really Want?"

    Sam Harris: "To Profile or Not to Profile," with Bruce Schneier:

    SCHNEIER: "Security is a trade-off, and requires some sort of cost-benefit analysis. What is the cost of your security system? What are the benefits? What, exactly, is your correlation? (TSA screeners can't sort based on religion; they have to sort based on something they can detect. And since there's no such thing as "looking Muslim"—it's a belief system, not an ethnic group—they're going to sort on something like "looking Arab," whatever that ends up meaning.) Then, you're going to have to analyze the resulting security system. How does it work, and how does it fail? What's the false-positive and false-negative rate? (You'll have to do some theoretical analysis, at the very least refuting current research.) Can your system be gamed? (You'll need some experimental data with real-world TSA agents in real-world conditions. The last thing we want is a security system that can be defeated with a bottle of blonde hair dye.) You will need it to relate to other security systems. We only have a limited security budget. Is your security system better than other airport security options? How does it affect the other security systems already in place at airports? Would we be better off spending that money on some other aspect of airport security? Or something more general than airports? In my book Beyond Fear, I proposed a five-step process to think through some of these questions. There are other, more rigorous models. But security engineering requires something more than intuition."

    Sam Harris "The Limits of Discourse" with Noam Chomsky

    Digest of the Harris/Chomsky debate

    Ezra Klein "Forbidden Knowledge," (includes links to much of the Klein/Harris material)

    KLEIN: "He ultimately refused to have me on his podcast on the grounds that a conversation between the two of us would be "unproductive," pivoting to a demand that I instead publish an op-ed supporting his views (you can read that piece here) or that he publishes all our emails to each other. [Update: Harris has now published our email exchange, and I recommend reading it. I don't know why he thinks it helps his case, but I think it shows just how resistant to actual dialogue he is on this subject.]"

    Sam Harris/Ezra Klein emails:

    HARRIS: "Throughout this exchange, you've dodged every substantive point I've raised. What's more, you continue to ignore the context in which you published that defamatory piece. Nisbett et al. say that Murray "was recently denied a platform at Middlebury College. Students shouted him down, and one of his hosts was hurt in a scuffle." This is an obscenely euphemistic way to describe what actually happened. Hurt in a scuffle? A professor received a neck injury and a concussion. The car in which she and Murray fled was smashed with a stop sign still attached to part of the sidewalk from which it had been wrested. Murray was set upon by a mob—at Middlebury."

    Addison Independent report on the (Murray / Middlebury) event:

    ""The protesters then violently set upon the car, rocking it, pounding on it, jumping on and trying to prevent it from leaving campus," he said. "At one point a large traffic sign was thrown in front of the car. Public Safety officers were able, finally, to clear the way to allow the vehicle to leave campus."

    The Atlantic report on the event:

    "One [antifascist] took a large traffic sign, attached to a concrete base, and placed it in front of the car to prevent it from leaving."

    Middlebury professor on the incident:

    "Although they made it into the car, the crowd prevented them from easily leaving, with people leaning on the hood and climbing on top. Eventually, after nearly running over a stop sign someone had displaced in front of the car, they managed to break free and head toward the campus location for dinner."

    Politico, "How the Middlebury Riot Really Went Down":

    "Behind the vehicle, the security guards pushed protesters aside, clearing a path for the vehicle to slowly inch backwards. The group reformed quickly, allowing the car to move only a couple of feet at a time. Every time a security guard pushed her, said one of the anti-fascists, she steadied herself, planted her feet in front of the car's path, and waited for her turn to be pushed again. She and her comrades, as she calls them, had trained for moments like these. Their goal wasn't violence, but the anti-fascists did want to make life hard for Murray. Almost out of the parking lot, Burger sped up to take a left turn onto the street, but he wasn't yet completely free of the crowd."

    Sam Harris/Ezra Klein debate:

    HARRIS: "Let's take this off race and IQ for a second, because this is something that would've been probably just as radioactive and it just happened to break the other way and nobody noticed.

    I think it was three years ago, or four years ago. I think it was 2014 where there were some, there were reports about Neanderthal DNA. I think it's David Reich whose op-ed in the New York Times kicked off our latest skirmish, I think it's based on his work. It was found that most human beings are walking around with around 2.7 percent Neanderthal DNA. At the time, but it was found that the only people who don't have Neanderthal DNA are black people, people who directly descend with some isolation from Africa, from the rest of the human community.

    At the time I tweeted, this is now 2014, I tweeted, "Attention all racists, you are right. We are special, or whites are special. We're part Neanderthal. Blacks are just human." It just was a trolling of the world's racists."

    Sam Francis at the SPLC

    "While always a staunch conservative, Francis's views radicalized over time. He began describing himself as a "paleoconservative" focused heavily on racial issues and ended up writing for racist publications like the Council of Conservative Citizens' (CCC) newsletter, Citizens Informer. (The CCC, which had from the late 1980s until the late 1990s dozens of state legislators and other politicians in its ranks, is a white supremacist group that focuses on issues like support for the Confederate battle flag and opposition to non-white immigration, school busing and affirmative action. The group was built using the mailing lists of the White Citizens Councils, organizations formed to fight school desegregation in the South.)

    Francis' definitive break with more mainstream conservatism came with his 1995 firing from The Washington Times. The newspaper acted after conservative author Dinesh D'Souza quoted a Francis speech to a 1994 conference put on by the white supremacist and race science journal, American Renaissance. D'Souza wrote that Francis' comments embodied the "new spirit of white bigotry." "

    "HERNDON, Va. -- For a gathering of people devoted to denouncing the inferiority of blacks and sounding the alarm about civilization-threatening Muslims, the biannual conferences thrown by the New Century Foundation, publisher of the racist newsletter American Renaissance, are decidedly genteel affairs. Men dress in suits and ties, women in formal business attire, and there are no uniformed skinheads or Klansmen to be seen. Large plasma television screens, Starbucks coffee spreads and fancy linens adorn the hotel meeting hall. Epithets have no place here.

    Or at least they didn't. At the latest edition of the conferences that began in 1994, held this February at the Hyatt Dulles hotel, a nasty spat broke out that upset the gathering's decorum -- and may even shape the future of the radical right.

    It began when David Duke, the former Klan leader and author of Jewish Supremacism, strode to a microphone after French author Guillaume Faye wrapped up a talk vilifying Muslims entitled "The Threat to the West." Duke thanked Faye for remarks that "touched my genes." But then he went one further.

    "There is a power in the world that dominates our media, influences our government and that has led to the internal destruction of our will and spirit," Duke said, according to an undisputed account in The Forward newspaper.

    "Tell us, tell us," someone in the back yelled.

    "I'm not going to say it," Duke replied. Laughter began to fill the room, until a short, angry man leaped from his seat, walked up to Duke and began to curse.

    "You fucking Nazi, you've disgraced this meeting!" he said."

    Jared Taylor banned from Europe until 2021

    "Jared Taylor, one of the most prominent white supremacists in the U.S., claimed on his website on Friday that he'd been "banned from Europe" until 2021.

    The ban came as Taylor attempted to transfer in Switzerland for a flight to Finland. According to Taylor, Swiss police informed him that Polish authorities had barred Taylor from traveling through the Schengen Zone, a 26-country area of Europe allowing visa-free travel.

    [...]

    "Taylor had been planning on speaking at white supremacist conferences in Scandinavia, including one on Saturday in Stockholm that featured other well-known fascists like Mark Collett and Greg Johnson.

    It's unclear why Polish authorities issued a blanket ban against Taylor. Taylor attributed the ban to a 2018 trip to the country, where he gave multiple television interviews. During that trip, Taylor said that Polish police said he was "spreading a totalitarian ideology." "

    Jared Taylor and American Renaissance sues Twitter for banning over speech content.

    Blood and Politics

    From John Earnest's (Poway synagogue shooters) manifesto:

    "Plenty of people wrongfully identify with being Christian. Beyond the scope of time the Father and the Son made a covenant in eternity—that the Son would bring a people to Him that He may be glorified through them. I did not choose to be a Christian. The Father chose me. The Son saved me. And the Spirit keeps me. Why me? I do not know. And my answer to loving my enemies? Trust yids and their puppet braindead lemming normalfags to take one quote from the Bible and grossly twist its meaning to serve their own evil purposes—meanwhile ignoring the encompassing history and context of the entire Bible and the wisdom it takes to apply God's law in a broken world."

    Christian Identity at Wikipedia

    RJ Rushdoony and Christian Reconstruction:

    "McVicar notes that it's during this time period that Rushdoony discovered the work of Cornelius Van Til, author of The New Modernism and father of a doctrine called "presuppositional apologetics."

    It isn't necessary or even possible to delve too deeply into Van Til's theology here, but a Cliff Notes version is helpful: Christians and nonbelievers alike comprehend the world based on certain presuppositions. Christians operate from a correct presupposition; nonbelievers do not, and ne'er the twain shall meet. According to Van Til, nonbelievers are incapable of accurately comprehending reality, and by extension, cannot develop a correct moral framework.

    Van Til's work pulled heavily from Kant, which appealed to the intellectual Rushdoony; so did his Reformed leanings, which Rushdoony shared. Van Til's epistemology also validated the would-be philosopher's Duck Valley observations.

    But Rushdoony took Van Til's thought a step further. If nonbelievers couldn't be truly moral or reasonable, secular laws, based on secular reasoning, were therefore illegitimate. The answer to solving society's problems – and to solving Duck Valley – lay in the application of biblical law."

    Aryan Nations at the SPLC

    "Butler openly admired Adolf Hitler and longed for a whites-only homeland in the Pacific Northwest. He retired as an aeronautical engineer at age 55 and moved to Hayden Lake, Idaho, in 1974. There, he bought an old farmhouse and formed his own "Christian Posse Comitatus" group. By 1977, Butler had decided to form the Church of Jesus Christ Christian at the farmhouse, and named its political arm Aryan Nations.

    In 1980, Butler's church was bombed, causing $80,000 in damage. Nobody was injured or arrested. Butler responded by building a two-story guard tower and posting armed guards around his 20-acre property.

    In 1981, Butler hosted the first of what would be many annual Aryan World Congress gatherings on his property. It, and the confabs that would follow, attracted almost every nationally significant racist leader around. Among them: Tom Metzger, former Klansman and leader of White Aryan Resistance; Louis Beam, another onetime Klansman who promoted the concept of leaderless resistance; Don Black, the former Klansman who created Stormfront, the oldest and largest white nationalist forum on the Web; and Kirk Lyons, a lawyer who has represented several extremists and who was married on the compound by Butler."

    The Butler Plan at the Northwest Front

    "Harold Covington Died a Coward"

    "For a time the program was co-hosted by Corinna Burt, a body builder who had a brief stint in the adult industry, under the alias "Axis Sally." By 2013 she had left white nationalism behind, and, in an interview with the SPLC, explained that Covington's goal was "to get a thousand alpha Aryan males to move to his neighborhood and then basically just start shooting everyone who isn't white."

    Indeed, Burt painted a portrait of a man who was unstable and paranoid. He "called nearly everyone in the [white supremacist] movement a homosexual," was petrified of the thought that black men wanted to rape him, and his apartment was "filthy" with "layers of grime" on the walls. In her words, Covington was "pretty much the most horrible person ever."

    His final years were spent making YouTube videos and podcasts for NF, much of which failed to gain traction even among other white nationalists. In the age of the alt-right, troll storms, racist memes, and torch marches, Harold's influence had waned to practically nothing. When he was in the news, it was for calling Dylann Roof's Charleston bloodbath "a preview of coming attractions" and speculating that The Right Stuff's Mike Enoch was secretly Jewish.

    [...]

    "I had only ever written about this curmudgeonly racist once, but decided that he didn't seem important enough to merit further attention. Looking back I stand by that calculation. His brother Ben probably summed it up the best, however, stating that "the bottom line here is that my brother is a coward. He has always been a coward and he will die a coward." On July 14, 2018, Harold Armstead Covington died a coward at the age of 64. He will not be missed."

In Auschwitz these cars had various dimensions and could hold up to 15 people. As soon as a car was loaded, it would be set in motion on an inclined plane that traveled at full speed down a corridor. At the end of the corridor there was a wall, and in the wall was the door to the oven. As soon as the car hit the wall, the door opened automatically, and the car would dip forward and pitch its cargo of living people into the oven. Right behind it came another car with another load, and so on."

    Sven: Well the goal of getting using listeners is to get that to realize that bigger goal of our political aspirations.

    Anglin: It's all about the numbers right now and transforming the ability of people to [gap] Certain way and normalizing shit. Yeah basically that's the entire goal is normalizing shit in people's minds. You see this stuff going on in high schools now like we have created a new youth subculture. Yes. Yes. Everything is going according to plan everything is going according to plan.

    Sven: It doesn't matter who we are.

    Yeah.

    Enoch: But for real the the youth the under under 20 demographic is like forget about it. I was talking last night with a friend and we are talking about the Holocaust and what most of it is but how. It's hard to reach people that have had a certain level of programming.

    So even even people that are like are sympathetic and right wing and like even the idea of like a white state is good. We still have this. They still get all fucked up and weird about talking about the Holocaust. But then when you talk to people that are like under 20 years old they don't give a fuck about the Holocaust. They think it's hilarious. Hitler is funny and cool and the idea of gassing Jews is like just a fucking joke. Yeah like they don't give a shit. They don't care.

    Anglin: Right. You loaded a culture of complete nihilism and then somehow thought they could insulate themselves from that. Where nothing has any meaning at all. But then they're all in there like but one thing does have meaning. The Holocaust of the 6 million in the gas chambers that they get turned into lampshades. Say it doesn't work. Yeah.

    Sven: And now the snake is eating its Curly Q sideburns tail.

    It's funny how it's sort of like once you tell people there's nothing sacred there's nothing holy. But you know what this thing that happened to these Jews in this black and white looking shaky real camera from the 40s that nobody really knows what's going on. Like that's that's the thing. That's what you have to care about. You don't care don't care about anything else.

    We care about these fucking these fucking Jews in Germany in Eastern Europe in the 40s and that's really important. What why.

    Why was nothing important. Why the fuck do I give a shit about this bullshit.

    "I want to also mention a very difficult subject . . . before you, with complete candor. It should be discussed amongst us, yet nevertheless, we will never speak about it in public. Just as we did not hesitate on June 30 to carry out our duty as ordered, and stand comrades who had failed against the wall and shoot them—about which we have never spoken, and never will speak. That was, thank God, a kind of tact natural to us, a foregone conclusion of that tact, that we have never conversed about it amongst ourselves, never spoken about it, everyone . . . shuddered, and everyone was clear that the next time, he would do the same thing again, if it were commanded and necessary.

    I am talking about the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish people. It is one of those things that is easily said. [quickly] "The Jewish people is being exterminated," every Party member will tell you "perfectly clear, it's part of our plans, we're eliminating the Jews, exterminating them, a small matter." [less quickly] And then along they all come, all the 80 million upright Germans, and each one has his decent Jew. [mockingly] They say: all the others are swine, but here is a first-class Jew. [a few people laugh] And . . . [audience cough] [carefully] . . . none of them has seen it, has endured it. Most of you will know what it means when 100 bodies lie together, when 500 are there or when there are 1000. And . . . to have seen this through and—with the exception of human weakness—to have remained decent, has made us hard and is a page of glory never mentioned and never to be mentioned. Because we know how difficult things would be, if today in every city during the bomb attacks, the burdens of war and privations, we still had Jews as secret saboteurs, agitators and instigators. We would probably be at the same stage as 16/17, if the Jews still resided in the body of the German people."

Notice how the testimony of every single inmate of every Nazi camp is automatically dismissed as unconvincing. This total dismissal of inmates' testimony, along with the equally-total dismissal of the Nazis' own testimony (!), is the largest unspoken assumption of Holocaust-denial. This assumption, which is not often spelled out, is that the attempted Jewish genocide never took place, but rather that a secret conspiracy of Jews, starting around 1941, planted and forged myriad documents to prove that it did; then, after the war, they rounded up all the camp survivors and told them what to say." "The conspirators also supposedly managed to torture hundreds of key Nazis into confessing to crimes which they never committed, or into framing their fellow Nazis for those crimes, and to plant hundreds of documents in Nazi files which were never discovered until after the war, and only then, in many cases, by sheer luck. [...] "Regarding postwar testimony from Nazis, were they all tortured into confessing to heinous crimes which they supposedly did not commit? This might be believable if only a few Nazis were captured after the war, or maybe if some had courageously stood up in court and shouted to the world about the supposed attempt to silence them.
