  • Identitarian Movement
    Identitarian movement The identitarian movement (otherwise known as Identitarianism) is a European and North American[2][3][4][5] white nationalist[5][6][7] movement originating in France. The identitarians began as a youth movement deriving from the French Nouvelle Droite (New Right) Génération Identitaire and the anti-Zionist and National Bolshevik Unité Radicale. Although initially the youth wing of the anti- immigration and nativist Bloc Identitaire, it has taken on its own identity and is largely classified as a separate entity altogether.[8] The movement is a part of the counter-jihad movement,[9] with many in it believing in the white genocide conspiracy theory.[10][11] It also supports the concept of a "Europe of 100 flags".[12] The movement has also been described as being a part of the global alt-right.[13][14][15] Lambda, the symbol of the Identitarian movement; intended to commemorate the Battle of Thermopylae[1] Contents Geography In Europe In North America Links to violence and neo-Nazism References Further reading External links Geography In Europe The main Identitarian youth movement is Génération identitaire in France, a youth wing of the Bloc identitaire party.

ISSUES RAISED BY THE ABORTION RESCUE MOVEMENT Charles E. Rice* The civil rights protests of the fifties and sixties taught the nation about the relation of the enacted law to the higher law of justice. Though less favorably publicized, the abortion rescue movement provides another such teaching moment today. As with the civil rights protests, the abor- tion rescue movement involves ordinary people putting their bodies on the line-and in jail-to vindicate their conception of justice. The rescue movement raises issues that transcend the question of whether one ap- proves or disapproves of abortion. This paper examines what society might learn from the Operation Rescue movement about the weaknesses of our law. A Newsweek commentary entitled Operation Rescue captured the movement's essence: Abortion is the most painfully divisive issue in American public life, and after years of relative dormancy, it shows signs of erupting again.

  • 'Us Versus Them': Abortion and the Rhetoric of the New Right1
    Retrospectives | 2 Spring 2013 ! ‘Us versus Them’: Abortion and the Rhetoric of the New Right1 Will Riddington* This paper analyses America's anti-abortion movement from a rhetorical perspective. It examines the rhetorical tactics used by conservative elites to galvanise the movement and traces their effect on the movement's response to anti-abortion violence in the late 1980s and early 1990. It concludes by arguing that the fusion of populist dichotomies and religious justifications had an ultimately negative effect on the movement, despite initial successes. It engages with a number of historiographical debates surrounding the emergence of the New Right and its place in the wider American political tradition. By analysing the anti-abortion movement, its motivations and its actions, this paper will argue that although the movement invoked a number of long-standing conservative themes, its invocation of populism relied on new rhetorical devices whose resonance derived from opposition to sixties liberalism. Historiographical debate also revolves around the relationship between New Right activists and the Republican party, some arguing that conservative grassroots activism dragged the GOP to the right, others that social issues were manipulated by Republican elites for electoral gain. It will argue that, at least in the case of the anti-abortion movement, the fundamentalist and evangelical Christians who joined the fray in the late 1970s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 This work was supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council [grant number AH/K502959/1]. * Will Riddington is a first-year doctoral student at the University of Cambridge. 86 Retrospectives | 2 Spring 2013 ! did so at the urging of the New Right and their pastors, rather than as part of a spontaneous grassroots uprising.

  • America and the Great Racial Divide Pg
    America and the Great Racial Divide Pg. 1 Merlin Miller: America and the Great Racial Divide The following essay was written by filmmaker Merlin Miller, the American Third Position Party’s 2012 presidential nominee. America’s demographics are being radically altered – setting the stage for serious civil strife with potential for state succession and national dissolution into small, ethnically distinct nation-states. This is not happening by accident, but by design. It is only one part of a comprehensive plan to destroy traditional nations and create an unnatural, enslaved world, where citizens answer to an all-powerful New World Order. The American “empire” is being sacrificed for this end. However, the American republic is not quite dead and those of us who took an oath to protect and defend her, must rise to the occasion. American nationalists must stand against growing tyrannies and remove the Globalist/Zionist agents of our destruction. To do so, we must understand their “divide and conquer” tactics. Divisiveness is not just racial, but also religious (Christians pitted against Muslims) and cultural (attacks on traditional family) and is socially engineered through media influence and government control. Largely unknown to the American public, our nation has come under the oppressive control of international bankers. Through financial manipulations and ruthless plotting, they control the mainstream media and political arena – and hence, our lives. Internationally, they have involved us in wars and occupations – which are destroying the blood of our youth, our reputation and our financial solvency. Domestically, they are engineering America’s collapse by dislocating American jobs, stealing citizen homes and possessions, and suppressing our inalienable rights and freedoms.

Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 41 (Spring 2018): 42-61 42 Kansas History Assembling a Buckle of the Bible Belt: From Enclave to Powerhouse by Jay M. Price n Sunday, July 14, 1991, Bob Knight, mayor of Wichita, Kansas, had just delivered a talk at a local church when Chief of Police Rick Stone came up and warned him that “we’re going to have some very difficult circumstances tomorrow.” Operation Rescue, an antiabortion organization, intended to picket local abortion facilities. In particular, Operation Rescue leaders such as Randall Terry wanted to organize local and national antiabortion efforts to focus national attention on abortion providers such as George Tiller. Stone noted that “they’ll Oblock, they’ll protest, first of all, but they’ve been known to block entrances.” Knight responded that these actions “shouldn’t be insurmountable to enforce our laws.” If there were arrests, he presumed that ordinary law enforcement channels would suffice. The next morning, July 15, Knight received a call from Ryder Truck Rental concerned that protesters who had gathered outside Tiller’s office were being arrested and loaded into the company’s rented vehicles. In the days that followed, the arrests did not dissuade the protesters. In fact, the protests grew, and police efforts included helicopters flying overhead and blocking Kellogg Avenue. Initially, the protesters had envisioned a week-long series of events, including rallies and training in how to blockade the entrances to abortion clinics and intercept women going to the clinics.
