The Nationalist Family Tree Taken from The Nationalist Movement's page: http://www.nationalist.org/docs/history/family.html The Nationalist Family Tree Spark and spirit Ba ckground G enealogy Root s and Branches of the Tree Root s in Patriotism and Anti- Communism Jeremy Erickson Holds forth at Morristown rally Dan McDermott Awarded for Dubuque rally Roots in patriotism and anti-communism Lifetime commitment and refusal to recant In a day when there seem to be few leaders, reformers and visionaries who will take a stand for their people, nation and way of life, it is refreshing to point to those who have never backed down. They have formed the basis of Nationalism in the modern age. Those listed have shown notable, even heroic, defiance in the face of their opposition. One shining moment of moral courage -- and sometimes more than one -- has marked their lives and inspired countless others, which is why they are listed here. Many of these men seem to have been piloted by destiny or, even, divine Providence, in their historic tasks. In particular, they all had some opportunity to cut and run, go over to their opposition or repudiate their own principles. But they chose to stand and fight. And, most important, they remained defiant, steadfast and unrepentant, to the very end. Even when others became turncoats and sellouts. Their mission and impact played out in full effect in Morristown, New Jersey, where Jeremy Erickson and his compatriots took the podium, the streets and the high-ground, turning back Communist Jared Schultz and his confederates, who ran, hid and were busted by police. And in Jackson, Mississippi, where Richard Barrett faced down the NAACP, the Southern Christian Leadership Council, the Mississippi Fair Commission, the Mississippi Attorney-General, the Governor of Mississippi, the Jackson City Council, Jackson State University and the Gannett newspaper chain to win the right to conduct a petition-drive in behalf of the Sixth and Seventh Amendments. The victory included striking down a state-fair regulation against "racial" exhibitions, invalidating a $500,00.00 bond to exercise First-Amendment rights, turning back threats of a lawsuit by Negro Jackson Mayor Harvey Johnson and defying death-threats. Roots and Branches of the Tree Name Position Challenge Richard Barrett Orator Advancer of nationality Victor over Forsyth County, Georgia -- which had tried to ban him from speaking -- in the Supreme Court. Barrett's parade permit was revoked in Atlanta when minorities, homosexuals and communists rioted. He was arrested, but returned to march, again. 5,000 rioters pelted him and the American flag with rocks and bricks. Nine around him were hospitalized and thirty- nine rioters arrested. But, unscathed, Barrett declared, "Our flag was still there." Theo. G. Bilbo Statesman Defender of nationality A crusader for Americans and against minorities and aliens, he authored the Greater Liberia Bill to repatriate descendants of slaves back to Africa. Attempts were made to deny him his Senate seat, but he never yielded. His book, Take Your Choice: Separation or Mongrelization, is a classic. When an Italian from New York sent him a nasty letter, he wrote back, "Keep your big nose out of Mississippi." He refused to apologize. Davey Crockett Pioneer Defender of sovereignty Indian-fighter, lawmaker and man-of-the-people, Crockett had ample opportunity to evacuate the Alamo, as a Mexican army approached. But he was an incomparable patriot, committed to the independence and sovereignty of America. So, even though hopelessly outnumbered, he stood, fought and died, crucially holding the line until reinforcements could arrive to drive the Mexicans out. Charles E. Broadcaster Advancer of social-justice Coughlin A super-patriotic Catholic priest, Coughlin used radio to assail subversives, communists and aliens, gaining a phenomenal audience. He also published the Social Justice newspaper. His wildly popular message of social justice -- against big corporations, foreigners and Wall Street -- set back leftists, profiteers and internationalists. His most notable accomplishment was defying the Vatican, which tried repeatedly to quash him. Orval Faubus Statesman Defender of all-Americanism As populist Governor of Arkansas, Faubus called out the National Guard to protect Little Rock Central High School from minorities being forced in. He rebuffed President Dwight D. Eisenhower and leftist bureaucrats in one fell swoop. A staunch segregationist, Faubus was elected time after time by a grateful people. When Bill Clinton took control, Faubus was told that he could have a state job, if he would only "repent." He steadfastly refused. Henry Ford Inventor Advancer of Americanism The inventor of the automobile worked tirelessly to improve the lives of American workers. But protecting Americans from oppression became Henry Ford's greatest mission. His publication of The International Jew railed against extortion, money- grubbing, usury and incompatible aliens flooding in. Ford received numerous awards for his patriotism, but, notably, when told to return the awards or be accused of "anti-Semitism," he refused. Nathan Hale Patriot Defender of America Captured by the Red Coats during the Revolutionary War, Hale was given the opportunity to renounce America. If he would join the British against his countrymen, he could live. Otherwise, he would be executed. Hale never wavered. He stated boldly that "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country" and became a martyr for American freedom, independence and sovereignty. Paul B. Johnson Statesman Defender of segregation A staunch segregationist, Johnson never appointed Negroes to positions, bowed to minority demands or promoted de-Americanization in any way, shape or form, in various offices he held. When President John F. Kennedy sent troops to force Negroes into the University of Mississippi, Johnson, then Lieutenant Governor, shook his fist defiantly in the face of federal marshal William McShane. He never repented or recanted. Charles Aviator Advancer of sovereignty Lindbergh Immensely popular for his daring, first solo flight across the Atlantic, Lindbergh was an exponent of unity between America and Northwestern Europe. He believed that blood was the common-denominator of civilization and worked to prevent incompatible aliens, minorities and un-Americans from intruding. Despite powerful opposition, his America First Committee worked tirelessly for neutrality in World-War II and against communism. Huey P. Long Statesman Advancer of social-justice Long rose rapidly as champion of the common man and of segregation. He led the Share the Wealth Society and his reforms cut the power of big corporations. As Louisiana Senator, he was poised to challenge Franklin D. Roosevelt for President. Minority- community enmity reached such a fevered pitch that he was gunned down by Carl Weiss. But, in his last, defiant breath, he said, "Lord, don't let me die. I have so much more to do." Lester Maddox Statesman Defender of private-property Governor of Georgia, leader of the Victory in Vietnam Parade in Washington and champion of the common man. Maddox refused to allow taxpayer funds for painting his portrait, saying a photograph would do just fine. But his most memorable moment was when he brought out ax-handles to drive Negroes away from his Atlanta restaurant, saying: "I demand my private-property rights." Asked if he recanted, he said: "I would do it all over again." Joseph McCarthy Statesman Advancer of anti-communism McCarthy crusaded to rid the nation of communist infiltration following World-War II. As Senator from Wisconsin, he led congressional hearings which resulted in Reds being exposed and driven out of government, industry and, even, Hollywood. Powerful minority lobbies continued to array against him. But when ordered by President Dwight Eisenhower to quit or face censure by the Senate, he refused to back down. He died without ever recanting. James Statesman Defender of justice McReynolds McReynolds, a Kentucky jurist, was a strong supporter of native- Americanism, traditional values and strict constitutional interpretation. Named to the United States Supreme Court, he so disdained the appointment of Louis Brandeis to the high court that he refused to speak to or shake hands with Brandeis the entire time -- more than two decades -- that he was on the bench. He outlived Brandeis and never recanted for his remarkable tenure. Evan Mecham Statesman Advancer of pure- Americanism The popular Governor of Arizona felt the ambuscade of every big gun the left could muster. He was attacked, threatened, sued, prosecuted and impeached -- though eventually cleared of any wrongdoing -- for vetoing the imposition of a King Holiday. Instead of bowing to minority or "big-shot" pressure, he refused to retract his action, despite enormous suffering and persecution. He has never recanted. Leander Perez Statesman Defender of native- Americanism Perez became one of the most legendary holdouts against de- Americanization. A staunch segregationist, judge and champion of the common man in the tradition of Huey P. Long, Perez refused all efforts to force minorities into Plaquemines Parish schools and led what resulted in the total evacuation to private, segregated schools. He died never repenting, recanting or apologizing. Gerald L. K. Orator Defender of nationality Smith Head of the Christian Nationalist Crusade, Smith delivered the legendary oration at Huey P. Long's funeral. He organized America-First drives opposing minorities, aliens and

  • The European and Russian Far Right As Political Actors: Comparative Approach

E-mail: [email protected] Received: March 5, 2019 Accepted: April 25, 2019 Online Published: May 30, 2019 doi:10.5539/jpl.v12n2p86 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/jpl.v12n2p86 The article is prepared within the framework of Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Module "Transformation of Social and Political Values: the EU Practice" (575361-EPP-1-2016-1-RU-EPPJMO-MODULE, Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Actions) (2016-2019) Abstract The article is devoted to the comparative analysis of the far right (nationalist) as political actors in Russia and in Europe. Whereas the European far-right movements over the last years managed to achieve significant success turning into influential political forces as a result of surging popular support, in Russia the far-right organizations failed to become the fully-fledged political actors. This looks particularly surprising, given the historically deep-rooted nationalist tradition, which stems from the times Russian Empire. Before the 1917 revolution, the so-called «Black Hundred» was one of the major far-right organizations, exploiting nationalistic and anti-Semitic rhetoric, which had representation in the Russian parliament – The State Duma. During the most Soviet period all the far-right movements in Russia were suppressed, re-emerging in the late 1980s as rather vocal political force. But currently the majority of them are marginal groups, partly due to the harsh party regulation, partly due to the fact, that despite state-sponsored nationalism the position of Russian far right does not stand in-line with the position of Russian authorities, trying to suppress the Russian nationalists.

  • Metapedia and the Internationalization of Swedish Generic Fascism
    fascism 4 (2015) 194-208 brill.com/fasc Ikea Fascism: Metapedia and the Internationalization of Swedish Generic Fascism Henrik Arnstad Science journalist, specializing in modern history [email protected] Abstract Today’s European movements active within the spectrum of generic fascism have become sophisticated at internationalizing their ideology. This is illustrated in the present article through a study of the Swedish pan-European web encyclopaedia Metapedia, a fascist equivalent of the mainstream Wikipedia, working in the fields of metapolitics and gramscisme de Droite. The article argues that contemporary interna- tionalization goes hand-in-hand with the historical traditions of Swedish fascism since the 1940s and 1950s, and indeed can be interpreted as a part of Swedish national iden- tity. As such, the idea of Metapedia as ‘Ikea Fascism’ is not as far-fetched as it would seem, since there is a link between the founder of the multinational Swedish furniture company and the internationalization of Swedish fascism. Keywords Metapedia – metapolitics – gramscisme de droite – neo-fascism – internet – internationalization – Sweden In January 2009 the Swedish Justitiekanslern [Chancellor of Justice] inves- tigated the allegedly Nazi web encyclopaedia Metapedia,1 following allega- tions of criminal racial agitation in the article about Adolf Hitler. The investigation, however, did not lead to prosecution since, as the Chancellor stated, 1 http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. © Arnstad, 2015 | doi 10.1163/22116257-00402002 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC-BY-NC 3.0) License. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Downloaded from Brill.com09/26/2021 10:49:32PM via free access <UN> Ikea Fascism 195 The reported article contains a biography of Adolf Hitler.

    1 Testimony of: Mr. Christian Picciolini Founder, Free Radicals Project Author, Breaking Hate: Confronting the New Culture of Extremism Before: House Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East, North Africa, and International Terrorism -and- House Committee on Homeland Security Subcommittee on Intelligence and Terrorism Wednesday, September 18, 2019 “Meeting the Challenge of White Nationalist Terrorism at Home and Abroad” ORAL TESTIMONY & SUMMARY Thank you, Chairman Thompson and Chairman Engel, Chairman Deutch and Chairman Rose, ranking members Wilson and Walker, and distinguished members of these vital committees and institution. I am honored by your invitation to testify today. I am privileged to be here, considering my past. I am a former extremist. In 1987, I was recruited into America’s first neo-Nazi skinhead group, and at 14 years old became one of the youngest and earliest members of what was then a “fringe” hate movement. For the next eight years, I recruited other vulnerable youth, acted as a mouthpiece for hate, and wrote racist music that I performed for thousands of white supremacists across the U.S. and Europe. I rose quickly through the ranks to become a leader of the same “white nationalist” movement that thirty years later on August 12, 2017, marched in Charlottesville chanting “The Jews will not replace us” and killed a young woman named Heather Heyer. I escaped extremism in 1996 through the compassion of people I least deserved it from—black and Latinx Americans, Jews, people from the LGBTQ community, and Muslims— who brought me back to humanity.

  • Hate Beyond Borders: the Internationalization of White Supremacy
    Hate Beyond Borders: The Internationalization of White Supremacy Sections 1 Executive Summary 7 Conferences and Events 2 Introduction 8 Connections to Far-Right Political Parties 3 Summary of Country-Specific Ties Between 9 Additional White Supremacist Interaction European and American White Supremacists 10 Conclusion 4 European Influencers 11 Policy Recommendations 5 American Influencers 12 Footnotes 6 Canadian Influencers 13 Partner and Donor Recognition EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We are witnessing the internationalization of the white supremacist movement. Over the past decade, we have seen surging violence in the United States, Europe and beyond motivated by elements of white supremacy from Anders Breivik in Norway to Brenton Tarrant in New Zealand to Patrick Crusius in El Paso, Texas. These killers influence and inspire one another. European and American adherents are learning from each other, supporting each other and reaching new audiences. They feel empowered and emboldened because they perceive that they are influencing the political climate and reaching disaffected whites. 1 / 75 Global access to white supremacist ideology, and its easy dissemination across borders via various social media platforms, means many of the ideas promoted by the white supremacist movement — curtailing of non-white immigration, attacks on globalization and the accompanying conspiracies about elitist globalists — are increasingly part of mainstream political and social rhetoric. Exposing and understanding the connections among white supremacists and the paths by which they spread their hate are the first steps toward countering them. This report lays that groundwork, but continued vigilance and urgent action are necessary. Political leaders, law enforcement, social media companies, and educators have important roles to play and responsibilities to uphold.

  • Religion Is a Personal Choice, but Race Is Your Very Blood!"An Analysis of White Nationalist Belief Systems
    Athens Journal of Social Sciences- Volume 4, Issue 4 – Pages 347-366 "Religion is a Personal Choice, but Race is your very Blood!"An Analysis of White Nationalist Belief Systems By Dianne Dentice For many self-identified white nationalists, race and religion are equally important and closely connected. As the movement continues to evolve, a convergence of Christian Identity and pagan beliefs is producing subtle ideological shifts between disparate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis. This article exams the various religious perspectives of individuals who participated in discussion forums and non- scientific polls on Stormfront, a hate related Internet site. Additional data came from members of a Christian Identity sect in Zinc, Arkansas. Findings indicate that there is religious diversity in the white nationalist movement. Lines also appear to blur a bit between pseudo-religions and Christianity, especially with regard to Christian Identity. Even though people who actively participate in the white nationalist movement appear to be a relatively small percentage of the global population, it is important to understand how racialized interpretations of the Bible proliferate pseudo-religious and pseudo- scientific ideologies, especially among young people who are searching for answers to complex questions. It appears that racist and socially isolationist attitudes continue to inform a new generation of white nationalists. Keywords: Christian Identity, Cosmotheism, Hitler, Stormfront, White nationalism. The white nationalist movement, also known as the white power movement (Dobratz and Waldner 2016) and white supremacist movement, is an extreme right wing social movement that has international ties to the United States, Canada, Australia, and countries in Europe that include Germany, France, and England.
