American Identity Movement (Identity Evropa) Weekly Address, April 3, 2019
Rush transcript:
Patrick Casey [00:05:19] Alright, good evening everyone. I hope you doing well.
Patrick Casey [00:05:22] I'm Patrick Casey, president of AIM, president of the organization that you are hopefully part of, but in all seriousness, welcome to this week's Weekly Address. I've got a number of very exciting things to talk to you about tonight and I'm glad that you're here. So I'm not using, I'll begin by saying that I'm on my phone. I haven't had Wi-Fi set up at the new place quite yet. So if you guys can't hear me or if I start breaking up please let me know. But we're basically stuck with this setup so we're just gonna have to make do.
Patrick Casey [00:05:58] Well it's been an, it, it's been an interesting week, as you guys saw on Twitter, if you've been following antifa's attempts to stalk me, that I did in fact move, I moved out of the crappy place I was in in Harrisonburg, and into a place, and into a far nicer place, we'll say that. I don't wanna give too much detail, although if you come out to the event that I'm going to tell you about at the end of April, hopefully you already know about that, then you will get a chance to see the HQ for yourself in person. So for those of you unaware, my home address was doxed, my place I was living at prior to this, and not much really happened. You know the funny thing is that none of the neighbors really figured out who I was the entire time. I lived there for a year, I invited the NBC crew in to interview me in my living room. The nice friendly black lady with whom I shared a wall, it was a duplex, she was on the other side, she never found out either. So, you know, sometimes it's funny how these things work out, but in the last month of living there my home address was basically public knowledge, right. And despite that, the most that they did was they took a picture of, took a picture of us loading stuff into the vans for the conference. They took a picture outside of the house, that was it, there was, I wasn't out there for that, and they put one flyer up on my car, put one flyer up my car. For whatever reason they didn't flyer the neighbors cars. They didn't put flyers or mail flyers to the neighbors houses. Had they done that, things might have gotten a little weird, right it would have been a bit uncomfortable for me. But they didn't. So, I think that the antia presence in Harrisonburg is very slim. I think that there is probably some cat lady in the neighborhood who felt, you know, very clandestine in putting up the one flyer and realized that was the extent to to which she was willing to go, that was as far, as courageous as she was willing to be.
Patrick Casey [00:08:15] But yes, anyways as some of you did see the tweet that, in which antifa said that they had the license plate for the U-Haul. They said that I was leaving, a lot of people thought I was, I was followed. Thank you to everyone who let me know about that tweet. But they didn't follow us. I was actually paying attention to make sure that that didn't happen and no one, no one even tried to. So, safe and sound in the new HQ. I think that we'll be able to...
Patrick Casey [00:08:41] The only reason they figured out my address is because we had someone set up, someone who's no longer in the organization set up a holdings company for me and I wasn't aware that my address was public infor-, was public, could be publicly found through that holding company. So it's a mistake that we won't make again. And you know you learn as you go when you do these things. But anyways the whitepill of the week is the HQ. This place is pretty awesome. It's, it's got everything that we need. And again, if you come at the end of the month then I'll be happy to show you show you the HQ, but I'm going to keep most of the details of the HQ on a need-to know basis similar to the conference location, just so that we can have i tbe a secret for as long as possible. If and when you find out that, the address, the state, the general area, you need to keep that to yourself. Again if I hear that you're telling members, telling other people, that's, you're gonna be in the wrong there. This has to be something that is not casual, right, we have to be uptight about this, just because it's going to, I'm not worried about people breaking in and hurting me, I'm worried about, you know, landlord getting harassed, neighbors getting mailed things, people maybe throwing a rock through my car window or something. I'm not really fearing for my life, although I'm not taking chances, but, anyways, it is great to finally have a sizable HQ, one that can fit and accommodate everyone and I'll be talking a little bit more about the action a little later. But that is the whitepill of the week.
Patrick Casey [00:10:15] So, activism roundup, let me open up the Twitter page here.
Patrick Casey [00:10:22] So, so since we spoke last week, we posted the video for our Down With Globalism action. And that is the action that we, that is a name for the action that we, the name that we gave for the action that we did outside the steps of the Tennessee State Capitol. So this was a fantastic action. Props to our activism department. Props to everyone who participated. Thank you. This was just such phenomenal action. Now this video on our Twitter account that only has 3,600 followers, which by the way isn't bad given we launched it less than a month ago, this video has twenty thousand views, twenty thousand views. All the actions that we did as IE for the past, maybe the past year, all of the videos of that actions,most of them did not get, very few of them got over 5000. So this is evidence of what AIM leadership was thinking, and ,you know, basically what we've been saying is that people want something that's American. They want something, you know, that is, that is American, that is authentic that is nationalistic and identitarian, but that is something that, you know, that's rooted in more in the mythos and the imagery and the history of the country that we're in right, right, because we're not just white. White is part of our identity, but we're Americans right, you know, the German nationalist, he understands that he's white on some level, which, which term means more to him, German or white? Well I can tell you right now it's German. You speak with someone like Henrik Palmgren. He, he's confused as to why people call him a white nationalist. He says no, I'm a Swedish nationalist. Obviously he has an understanding of, you know, obviously given his videos and stuff, he understands white identity and so forth. But part of the reason why I think white nationalism is, in America has been, I think it's just, it's tended to be out of touch with what people really care about, and people tend to care a little bit more about their ethnic identity than they do, you know, a racial identity, though it's understandable. I mean, obviously we understand the role that racial identity plays. But to be a people is a lot more than just your biology, right, it's about having a history, about having a language. Ideally a religion, though given America's pluralism and so forth that that's not [inaudible]
Patrick Casey [00:12:58] But anyways, if you've noticed on Twitter who's retweeting this stuff, who's liking it, it's all obviously the people, people like us identitarians, nationalists, a lot of the boomer patriot crowd as well, right, and this is something that I was trying to get across to people, is that we can have something that is identitarian but still appears, appeals to this massive swath of society, right, to them, to the right in America, without being insincere, right, we didn't say anything in that demonstration that that wasn't true. Right. That was that was absolutely everything that we believe in. Maybe not everything, given that it was a quick five to ten minute speech that got edited it down to a two minute video. Patrick Casey [00:13:42] But the point is that we can absolutely advocate for what we believe in and what we care about in a way that a lot of, the average conservative white person and the average Trump supporter, maybe former Trump supporter at this point, finds accessible and finds to their liking. So that's what we're doing.
Patrick Casey [00:14:01] The fact that we have access to an online merchandise platform which we have not as IE, IE never had that, rather IE did not have that after Charlottesville - we tried, no one would take us. People take AIM. People took AIM though. I'm referring to Free Speech Apparel ,FreeSpeechLand.
Patrick Casey [00:14:21] Other than that, there's, you know, the fact that I went on Infowars, that's evidence that our strategy is working, because at the end of the day you can talk about optics and say this is, this is the right approach, that's the right approach, you know, this, this type of rhetoric is what we should be using, we're really A/B testin, we're seeing what works. We want results. What we don't want to do is just theorize and not look at the results or just rationalize all of our failures and our successes in a way that makes our whatever theories we like sound good. No, what matters is how many people join, the quality of the people that join, how large we grow on social media, the donors we attract, right. I can tell you that our donors have been very fond of this and we've attracted a few new donors since we've launched AIM, and yeah I'm very confident in the future of this organization and I couldn't be happier, you know.
Patrick Casey [00:15:14] I could be happier, you know I'll say this. I would be happier if this whole leak and doxing situation wasn't, you know, wasn't going on.
Patrick Casey [00:15:24] And that's unfortunate. A few people lost their jobs. Many people haven't. Many people have had employers tell them that they didn't care. If you're a college student who got doxed and you don't have a job there's a good chance nothing is going to happen to you, right.
Patrick Casey [00:15:38] But anyways, moving along, let's talk about the action at the end of the month. The action at the end of the month is going to be obviously the first action that we do based around the HQ. Now we're going to have to be careful to ensure that we don't raise too many eyebrows in the neighborhood and so forth. And by that I mean I don't want to have 30 cars parked outside of the house.
Patrick Casey [00:16:06] So we're gonna have to figure out a parking situation but I'm not terribly worried about that. In terms of sleeping arrangements, so the first, I said the first 15 people who register for the D.C. action, and I'll tell you right, if you missed how to register, I'll tell you right now.
Patrick Casey [00:16:26] You go to our Zelle which is Treasury at American Identity Movement dot com. You send thirty dollars to to that Zelle with, with, you know, earmark it for theD.C. action, that is how you register. What we're going to be doing is we're going to be going through and ensuring that everyone who registers has been vetted in person. If you haven't been vetted in person and you want to come, we can see about, you can probably get invented in person before that. But we aren't going to give anyone sensitive information going forward who hasn't been thoroughly vetted, two Skype calls and one in- person vetting. So that's just how we're gonna be doing things going forward. Patrick Casey [00:17:06] But anyways, back to the weekend that we're going to have. So, first 15 people who register for this action, I, you can stay for free at the HQ.
Patrick Casey [00:17:16] Now do we have 15 beds available at the HQ? No we don't. But I can promise you, I think we need to, the organization's going to invest in some sleeping roles perhaps some sleeping bags. If you want to donate some money to help us afford these things that would be fantastic as well, you can always make a donation to the, you know, if we're ever doing an action you can make a donation to, you can see the D.C. action donation, and that will set some money aside that we can use for various expenses. But anyways I can guarantee you the very least floor space, pillow, blanket, and probably though not guaranteed, some, some sleeping rolls, sorry, mind drew a blank there.
Patrick Casey [00:18:03] I think, you know, I do have a few couches and we have one guest bed. I think that's going to be reserved for some members of the activism department who are coming out here this, coming out here a few days before and they're going to be obviously doing the most work so I think it makes sense. But, if you want to stay for free and you don't mind sleeping on the floor or on a sleeping roll then if you're one of the first 15 people then you're more than welcome to do that. Other than that, you know, I'm sure there'll be AirBnBs set up nearby that you guys can sort out. But given that the action is the weekend of the 28th, you, you will want to sign up sooner than later, alright. It's not that far away but we realize that we need to do an action in April. We have the HQ, may as well do something big in D.C. And that's what we're planning.
Patrick Casey [00:18:52] So it's going to follow a format similar to the actions that we've done in the past, right. So people are going to show up on Friday. There's going to be a reception, I think, we'll, we'll have dinner. So, you're, the 30 bucks you pay is going to go, is gonna get you at the very least two meals, I think we'll see about having some breakfast made as well. But the breakfast will not be fancy. So we're gonna have two meals, so you show up on Friday, we'll have dinner made. Now if you show up at midnight there probably won't be dinner available. Maybe some leftovers but no guarantee.
Patrick Casey [00:19:25] Probably have dinner around 7:00 or 8:00 and maybe some opening remarks. Hanging out listening to music having a few beers having a good time. Planning for the next day. We're not gonna get too wild on Friday and we'll probably have lights out at maybe 1 AM something something like that. And the next morning we'll get up fairly early. We'll do the action. We're still sorting out where we want to go, what we want to do, but we have a few general ideas and I think we'll try, we might try to do a number of actions or at least activities, right. And just really, you know, really make the most of the weekend. So you know we'll probably do a hike, might do some martial arts training, who knows. So it all depends on how many people we haven't self worth. And then Sunday will probably, start, sorry Saturday, ahead of myself here, Saturday we'll have dinner provided as well. You will also have, we'll have speeches. I've invited Jared Taylor out and Jared Taylor is more than, was very excited to come out and speak to us again. There's actually space in the place in the HQ. There is a room where I think we can probably fit 60 to 70 people. I'm probably going to buy that many folding chairs so I'm hoping that we can raise that, you know, again it'd be great if anyone's looking to make a donation. We do need stuff for the HQ, so if you donate to HQ fund, DC action, now you're not buying me video games, you're not buying me nice clothes, you're buying the organization chairs and sleeping rolls that can be used and if I ever step down this stuff stays with the organization, it's not gonna stay with me. Patrick Casey [00:21:09] But the point is is that there is a pretty large room in, uh, in the HQ.
Patrick Casey [00:21:18] And that,we'll be able to use that for speeches and so forth. That'll happen Saturday night, dinner Saturday night provided as well. We'll wake up Sunday, I think there'll be some, you know, some optional things, people are gonna be coming and going. I think we'll probably do a hike or something.
Patrick Casey [00:21:32] But you know people are going to be flying home and so forth so we won't have the full day's worth of activities. But that will be the action.
Patrick Casey [00:21:42] Once you register and once we sort it out you'll be told exactly what you're doing.
Patrick Casey [00:21:47] But if you've been involved in all of this for a while, if you've been involved in, if you've attended any actions that AIM has done in the past or IE has done in the past, you should know that we are not going to put you in particularly dangerous situations. Obviously if you're going out and, and you're speaking your mind about identitarianism and nationalism, sure there might be some people who want to hurt you. We've never been attacked when we've been out doing stuff, so I don't, I don't think, it's not the point, the thing is I'm trying to say is you're, just because you don't know the exact nature of the action doesn't mean you shouldn't sign up. You should know by now we're not going to do something reckless. We want to have a sustainable organization. We want to grow. We want to do bold stuff but again we're not going to take you to the ghetto and put you on the street and ave have you know wave around a pro-white sign or anything of that sort.
Patrick Casey [00:22:39] So, but anyways, it's gonna be a fantastic weekend, sign up sooner than later. In fact the type of action that we do is going to be dependent on how many people. If we don't get that many people we're not going to do, you know, some big flash demonstration, we'll probably try to make the most of it.
Patrick Casey [00:22:56] So go to American treasury at American identity dot com. Zelle, DC action. That's how you register. You should also include, include in the note because I don't think we see, I don't think we can see the e-mail. Let me, I think our accountant posted a message. Let me, I forget where that message was posted.
Patrick Casey [00:23:37] Anyways, but the point is, OK, if you're earmarking stuff to register, OK, there we go. So we can't see your email. So if you are paying your dues or you are registering for this event, please in the note write DC action and then, you know, Traditionalist Groyper, whatever your name is. And you know, if you're going to, if you're paying your dues, do the same thing. Because we actually don't the email addressess, so, better in terms of OPSEC but it does make some of the accounting a bit harder. So I want to see you there, come out the end of this month, it's gonna be great.
Patrick Casey [00:24:14] It's gonna be a good time. First action of the HQ. That's a big, really big step for us. And you, DC area action, the DC area is pretty great, there are a lot of fun activities that we can do right, you have the D.C. Art Institute, I believe it is, that is free, so, you know, there a lot of great free museums. If you've never visited the nation's capital, which I think is probably unlikely for most of you, It's a common place to go on field trips and so forth at the very least, but if you haven't had a good chance to check it out, we will have merch available in person, books available too. Patrick Casey [00:24:50] But if you're interested in merchandising go ahead and shoot me a message. See my pinned tweet, that is a list of what we have physically. And we also have stuff available through FreeSpeechLand. And if you see my pinned tweet and you see some other replies I did, check that stuff out as well.
Patrick Casey [00:25:07] Ordering merch which is a great way to do things too
Patrick Casey [00:25:10] Moving along, moving along. So I want to reiterate something that all of you should be aware of. But I want to ensure that all of you know, and all of you are able to articulate. This organization is non-violent and lawful. So the New Zealand situation has really been a blessing to the establishment and to the left. And it sounds very sick, and it's perhaps a bit morbid, but that's exactly the case. Now the average leftist would, would love to tell you that they, they hate right wing political violence and they want to stop it. Well, you know, the average well-meaning liberal, well-meaning but confused liberal, would probably be sincere in such a, by saying such a thing. But, the powers that be, and to the more ideological and, and the more malicious leftist, they love political violence, they love that Heather Heyer died. They love that the Christchurch mosque got shoot up and I'll spell it out for you. They love these things because they are politically useful to them, right. If Heather Heyer didn't die, the narrative in Charlottesville would have been way different, way different, they wouldn't have been able to describe it as deadly right, the whole narrative was about all how some white supremacist killed some nice lady, right, that, they wouldn't have had that narrative, absolutely, absolutely not, rather, and it's the same with the more recent Christchurch shooting. So this has given the government in New Zealand a pretext to do something I'm sure it wanted to do already, and that was, you know, ban essentially semi-automatic firearms and, you know, we live in such a globalized world that when these, these atrocities, these mass murders happen, the ripples spread out and effect the rest of the world, basically. So I think most of you have seen what happened with Martin Sellner. He's one of the main people in IB which is basically the G.I. chapter in Austria. So, Identitare Bewegung, that's the identitarian movement in German. So he, yeah, so his organization received four figure donation from the Christchurch shooter, and the Austrian government is using this as a pretext to go after it.
Patrick Casey [00:27:39] Now, we all thought Sebastian Kurz was totally based because he has some anti-immigration positions, but there's a dynamic that you guys need to be aware of, and that is that oftentimes though not always, right wing governments, particularly right wing governments in battles against the left basically, against a far more powerful media journalist academic system that is, that is, the cathedral, right, that's constantly at their throats, that is constantly making things hard for them. There is actually a weird incentive that exists to be harder on people to the right. I talked to an identitarian friend of mine who's pretty high up in his country's identitarian scene and basically, I asked him where the identitarians are having the hardest time and I'm thinking, you know, maybe France, Britain, no, actually in Hungary, that's where they've had the hardest time. And that's because you know, Viktor Orban and his party are, they see the identitarians as out of control.
Patrick Casey [00:28:44] They see them, even though they're lawful, they see them as a force that is not working toward their party's specific agenda.
Patrick Casey [00:28:51] So they, they almost don't really have much of an incentive to promote them or to even tolerate them. So that's fortunate. And that's that's what's happening in Austria with Sebastian Kurz and it's unfortunate. Patrick Casey [00:29:05] I think that you know, G.I.'s been investigating quite a bit in the past and throughout all of these different countries.
Patrick Casey [00:29:13] And they always, they usually get by. So I think he'll be fine. It's unfortunate that he was banned from entering the US because he was set to marry his fiance Britany Pettibone. But they're planning to get married in Austria. I wish them the best of luck but again, why are we against political violence? Well, there's the obvious ethical constraints, but if anyone doesn't have ethical constraints against violence, and I hope that doesn't apply to anyone in here, then they should know that we don't gain anything from political violence. You know, this isn't, we're not in a yellow vests situation right, maybe that's a little different, though obviously as a non-violent organization we would never advocate for anything like that. The point that I'm making here is that the establishment benefits from white nationalist, white identity, right wing violence. Call it what you want. And that is exactly why they're going to keep creating the conditions that ensure that such violence keeps happening, right.
Patrick Casey [00:30:17] And there's an argument to be made that it, the establishment benefits from Muslim terrorism to an extent to right, perhaps it makes some people on the left or just in general scare afraid to speak out against Muslims, right, it's the argument that we're all familiar with. Be nice to the Muslims or they'll blow you up. But there's also, I think there's been, I think there's been, there's been research done that shows that after a Muslim terrorist attack, the sympathy for the Muslim community increases, right. because you have a lot of people that are like, all these poor Muslims who aren't terrorists are victims of this radical fringe. And also Islamic terrorism, I think most of you know, is a massive red herring right, it is a distraction from the main issue. There could be zero Islamic terrorism, guess what? The issues of population replacement, of dispossession and so forth, would still exist, right, the Muslims could be the most people, peaceful people in the world but we don't want them occupying positions of power in our country, we don't want them colonizing our neighborhoods and we certainly don't want them taking over in any other way.
Patrick Casey [00:31:29] So that's just the perspective that's, that's worth considering, that we're against, we are explicitly and unequivocally against political violence in general.
Patrick Casey [00:31:41] And that is a good position to take for other reasons, other than just, you know, making sure, because as they try so hard to spin the right wing terrorist narrative and, and if the government believes them, we saw that happen with Rise Above movement, they'll go after you. Now the Rise Above Movement, I think the most that they can be, the most that they're really guilty of is, you know, promoting kind of a tough guy aesthetic and being a bit too, I haven't seen any evidence that they went out and actually attacked people, obviously most of the narrative against them is, is nonsense. But you know, you have to, this is why we don't even put ourselves in a situation where we know we're going to have to defend ourselves, right, it's just, you don't want to be there. I mean you have, guys you had the FBI, in their complaint against the Rise Above Movement, citing like basically left wing blogs that had these incredibly, incredibly biased, you know, accounts of what is, what happened at some of these rallies. So we don't want to give the left any content that they can chop up. It's been a story around. And because if that, if that narrative catches on, then you know the deep is basically going to go after you. So, don't give the other side any, any rope to hang you with. Patrick Casey [00:33:04] So, nonviolence, that is the way we do things now. Does that mean we don't defend ourselves? No, right, if we, like, we're out doing a demonstration and there are 40 of us and 40 black bloc people start charging at us and they're throwing, they're attacking us, and it's, they're just, it's not like, you know, one person comes up and shoves me or something, then yeah, we'll defend ourselves to the point where the, these people back up, we're not going to chase them, we're just gonna do everything that we can, but you don't want to be involved in any violence within an identitarian in context, you know God forbid you live in a left wing part of the country, that is, that is basically a good guarantee that you won't be,that nothing good will come of that basically.
Patrick Casey [00:33:48] So beyond that on any, basically on any server of ours I don't want to see any discussion, I don't wanna see discussion of like, fighting tactics, or discussion of firearms, or anything of that sort. Basically we already have that rule but I want to make a little more explicit. Now, if some of you guys want to get together do some jujitsu at the park, fine, that's fine. But let's refer to those as fitness groups. I'd prefer that you do that.
Patrick Casey [00:34:16] Now we're obviously training for self-defense and not, not even within the political context, and just doing it because it's fun and it's a good way to stay in shape.
Patrick Casey [00:34:25] But I don't want there to be some kind of evidence of like some kind of coordinated attempt to train people in martial arts. It's not illegal, but again we want to ensure that we're not doing it and there's no evidence for it to give, there's no evidence that we give people for to make them think that we are, and that goes with firearm training [inaudible]. So we absolutely support the Second Amendment in this organization. I think there are, I mean let's be honest, the reason I think part of the reason why antifa doesn't do home invasions in America like they did, like they do in Europe, whic is scary stuff, is because of the Second Amendment right. I mean I think antifa knows if they break into a nationalist's house and they try to do something, well, that person is probably going to be armed.
Patrick Casey [00:35:15] So I think the second amendment is very important for us. Also the second amendment is implicitly white. All of these implicitly white ideas if you want to get white people on your side, you've got to cater to those who, you do. Not all of them perhaps, but you know the ones that, the main ones definitely, you know, they all at least need to be considered. Frankly, the idea that there's going to be some kind of mass white liberal uprising, I don't I don't see that happening.
Patrick Casey [00:35:43] Now, we don't want the organization that we have to only appeal to right wing people. We want liberals to feel safe coming over too. But if they're coming over and they're like totally against gun rights, and they love third trimester abortions and gay marriage, then I wonder if they're a fit to be part of it.
Patrick Casey [00:36:00] You don't have to consider yourself right wing to be in American Identity Movement. I know within the identitarian scene, a lot of people consider that I'm not right, I'm not left, I get that to some extent, I would argue that in general, though not always, you know socially conservative values are in the best interests of our people, right, like being pro-family, being pro-traditional gender role, we don't have to be totally reactionary there, and so forth. Patrick Casey [00:36:29] Obviously with economics I think that's where we need to be, have the most flexibility, to the fiscal conservatives out there, sorry, you're going to have to tolerate the presence of YangGangers in the organization, though I can promise you that I don't think AIM's ever going to come out and endorse, you know, Bernie Sanders or, or you know, Andrew Yang to be quixotic, right, the people in the organization are free to think what they want.
Patrick Casey [00:36:59] I would like to stress to you guys the importance of participating in cyberstrike on the national server. Now if you are on one of our MatterMost servers it's very easy to add you to the national MatterMost. If you haven't been added to our national MatterMost, so basically how this works is MatterMost, you have one server that you set up, and then within that you have different teams, and the teams on MatterMost are equivalent to the servers on Discord, terminology might be a little weird, but we have national team, the regional teams, pledge team, patrons team, and so forth.
Patrick Casey [00:37:34] So if you're interested in, if you're not on the national team and you're interested in joining, please reach out to your coordinator. We're basically sticking to only people who have been vetted in person or who have done quite a bit for us on and have been around, so, pardon me, if you're not vetted there in person then you'll need to ensure that you can do that as soon as possible.
Patrick Casey [00:37:57] Well, we have around 300 people on MatterMost right now which is pretty good. We definitely have more people in the organization. Some, now, some people have dropped off as a result of the doxing but I can tell you that most of the people who have gotten doxed haven't, in fact the overwhelming majority. I was concerned people were going to, you know, repudiate all of this and say, oh this was a mistake, I should have never joined. No, the people who got doxed were the most adamant about us needing to to go on, about me needing to continue doing that,, and that's good that's good because people have to understand the risks they take when they come in, we, I can't guarantee that something like this won't happen again, but I can't guarantee that we're going to do everything to reduce the damage done and to minimize the chance of another infiltration. And I think at the very least adding the mandatory in-person vetting, which we already have done, and adding a rule so that people, I mean it was a rule before, making it more explicit, you can't post personal information about yourself on the server and we'll talk about that in a minute. And additionally, having messages set to auto delete, which, I don't know if that's been implemented yet, but it's definitely pretty high up on our CTO's priority list. God blessed him he's doing phenomenal work. But let's talk about OPSEC for a little bit.
Patrick Casey [00:39:18] So the worst thing you can do is post your personal information on the Internet. That's basically, basically it. If you have a normie Facebook, if you have a normie YouTube account, and by that I mean anything that's in your real name, particularly Twitter, if you have any of these things, you are giving the other side something that could potentially be used against you.
Patrick Casey [00:39:40] You should be totally aware of every place on the Internet where your face and your name are linked together.
Patrick Casey [00:39:47] If you've been doing this for a while, if you've been doxed for a while, maybe you can't do that, right. In my case, I can't keep up with everywhere where my face and my name are together, right, and, but, you know, most people aren't in this position. So Google your name if you haven't already, Google your name plus your city plus your job plus your employer, things like that, to see what comes up, to see that, if someone else got your name and decided they wanted to do some digging.
Patrick Casey [00:40:13] And I would like you to remove as much as possible, right some of these sites...
Patrick Casey [00:40:23] Yeah. If you have old social media accounts on Imgur, Reddit, maybe a sports forum, you know sports forum or something, I've heard of that being a factor in a dox of all things. delete those. Delete those.
Patrick Casey [00:40:35] Also, do not use the same alias across different platforms. The exception being our platform. You know if you're on MatterMost you need to use the same, the same, I think I think in MatterMost you're forced to, so that's good. But the point is, is you know, back when we were using three different platforms, we need a way to keep track of people. But you know, your, I would recommend not having the same username on MatterMost that you use on Twitter or on Facebook. And again, I'll keep using this example because it was so absurd.
Patrick Casey [00:41:12] So you know, illustrative of the issue that I'm trying to point out, is there is a guy in this really cult-like neo-Nazi paramilitary wannabe group, I don't think they've actually, I don't know if they've ever really done anything, called The Base, and this guy was doxed for, through, through Tinder, right, his Tinder username. I didn't know that there were actually usernames on Tinder but you apparently can find that out in your browser. Tinder username was the same as his online neo-Nazi Twitter account. So, for the rest of that guy's life, that information is going to be on the Internet. Now he's posting like advocacy for a national socialist revolution, clearly very deranged stuff that is never going to happen. And you know, skull mask stuff, this is exactly what I'm talking about.
Patrick Casey [00:42:05] So that's one example of why you don't wanna to use the same username across different platforms. But, yeah wanna delete all social media, you wanna delete anything where there's a paper trail, you know, f you have an old Steam account maybe consider deleting that or putting it on private or making sure you don't have anything visible.
Patrick Casey [00:42:23] But honestly guys, if we can get to the point where people aren't getting doxed as a result of having, you know, their real face and name on social media, we'll be a good point then. We're not quite there, and a number of these recent docs were a result of that.
Patrick Casey [00:42:36] I'm certainly not blaming anyone but we have to learn from this, right, doxing is gonna matter until it doesn't, and I would still advocate even for people that, you know, think that their antifragile or maybe are pretty antifragile, that you consider using an alias. And the exception is for people who, I'd say it's better to be anonymous online or to be fully open.
Patrick Casey [00:43:00] And if you want to be fully open come to me, we can sort that out.
Patrick Casey [00:43:03] If you're, you know, maybe we can have you as a public representative for the organization, but, because, you need to have a long term economic plan. Patrick Casey [00:43:12] I mean, look even if your boss is quote unquote based, even if he shares many of our views, if you, if he has anyone above, him, right, there's a good chance that those people above him will make him cave, right, if you're operating at a franchise there's always going to be someone on top who can, you know, put your boss, put your boss in his place and make him fire you. And I've seen that happen. It's tragic, but, you know life goes on.
Patrick Casey [00:43:42] Now is a good opportunity to shill, we're going to do some shilling for the dox fund. So, we were able to raise a grand for the dox fund, that, we're able to raise far more for the Wikipedia project which is good. But we need more for the dox fund. I want there to I want to be able to give, I want to be able to support these people who have done quite a bit for the organization and who have, you know, paid a price for it. So we raised a grand in the past, I believe, week or two, and we've distributed relief, we've disbursed a quarter of that. I would like to raise more. So I would like to ask you guys to please right now go to Treasury at American Identity Movement dot com earmark something for the dox fund, even if you just sent ten dollars, even if you just sent five dollars. Please send something in for the people who have gotten doxed.
Patrick Casey [00:44:34] I send it in, I sent 20 bucks in last week, for whatever reason my Zelle isn't working [inaudible] am kicked off. I can't do it right now but I think I'm going to send another 20 in this week. I'm just gonna have to do it the old fashioned way. By that I mean driving to the bank, putting into the bank account. But, guys, please, please give money to the dox fund.
Patrick Casey [00:44:56] This is, we're, we're basically good to go for Wikipedia. We're basically good to go there and thank you to everyone who's donated to both of these. Thank you to the patrons who continue to give money to keep this organization afloat.
Patrick Casey [00:45:08] But, I mean it guys, we need to donate to, we need to look out for our guys who have gotten doxed. We need to ensure that they're not having to choose between you know, food, you know, if they're living paycheck to paycheck already and they lose a job it could be pretty hard and you know some people live in really expensive parts of the country just given that's where the jobs are, so I don't want a single person in this organization undergoing severe hardship, missing, you know, you know, an important payment on their house or something, or whatever, you know, cell phone bill, whatever,as a result of doxing.
Patrick Casey [00:45:42] Now, we're I can be able to support people indefinitely, but we can definitely help do what we can to find new jobs for people, right, again, something that I've been trying to stress to people who've gotten doxed and worry about getting doxed, life goes on. Because there are people in this organization who, I'm not going to say who, I'm not going to say what they do, actually, well I can be it can be vague, there's someone within government who got doxed, running with, this was years and years and years ago, running with some, some say, more unsavory characters than us, names we would recognize, that person still has his job. There was a little investigation, but guess what some government [inaudible], you know, there are protections for political expression that, you know, but his name's out there, right, this guy's names out there, but, it's, you know, life goes on, he still has his job. There have been people who in this round of doxing, have been told by their employers that they don't care. That's good. I would, you know, again, even if you get doxed, I think it's still better to not have the other side know who you are when you're on the Internet, so, creating a new social media presence, if you get doxed, changing your name, how you represent yourself withina dissident context is absolutely, I think it's a vital thing.
Patrick Casey [00:47:00] And I would recommend people use different Mattermost names than Discord handles in case, in case there was ever an infiltrator who got into MatterMost, obviously we're, like I said, I can guarantee you we're going to do everything we can to ensure that doesn't happen, and also ensure that the damage done is far minimized, but we don't want them to be able to tie things that were said in IE to things that you said in AIM. Also, we don't want them to be able to tie you to AIM, right, If you haven't gotten doxed as a result of of anything of the IE leaks, then you know, say that you do get doxed as a result of AIM.
Patrick Casey [00:47:39] It would be good for you to be able to say "I was never part of Identity Evropa". "I was never part of the Charlottesville organization." "I was never were part of an organization whose leaders said despicable things about non-whites", right, you could say I joined a patriot group, I joined a conservative group, a conservative activist group, right, now that might sound like cucking, but when you're trying to keep your job, right, that's what, that's how, that's how you do it. That's how you spin things.
Patrick Casey [00:48:02] There is, I mean, I really refer to us and myself as a conservative, and in an instant when I needed to win over conservative support. When you see Tucker do this strategically, when he refers to Mencius Moldbug as a conservative blogger. Well, if you read it, it's kind of true.
Patrick Casey [00:48:20] But if you read Moldbug, and I'm actually reading his general introduction right now, he is very explicitly not a conservative, right, he has critiques of conservatism that I think we're all aware of, and I think he might even deserve credit for what you think, some of your critiques of conservatism. A lot of NRX stuff seeped into the alt-right and I don't think people really fully realized it. I mean even, even Radix Journal was, was basically NRX, back, back in the day back before it fell apart. But yeah I mean Tucker Carlson referred to Martin Seller, right, and Brittany Pettibone as identitarian, sorry, conservative activists, right, I'm on a bit of a tangent here but the point is, is that if you're trying to defend yourself, what's, what's better, being able to say, oh yeah, I joined this patriot group, you know they're pro-America, and leaving it at that. Or, you know, having, you know, thousands of messages in the IE chat log, and who knows what you said in all of those, being linked to things that you're doing now and in the future. So I'd advise using a different username going forward.
Patrick Casey [00:49:26] I will not force you to but I think it's probably in your best interest.
Patrick Casey [00:49:32] So let's talk, let's talk strategy.
Patrick Casey [00:49:34] Let's talk about what we do and why we do it.
Patrick Casey [00:49:37] Well, the ultimate goal is power. We need to have power. The goal is for there to be a transition in power in this country. The issue in this country is not immigration. It's not black people, it's not the Jews, although there are issues with all of these groups, we're not denying that there isn't an issue with Jewish nepotism and black crime, and mass immigration, right? These are issues, right,, but the issue, ultimately, is the structure, it's the structure of society, right. Patrick Casey [00:50:07] Because if you look at the people calling the shots, a lot of them are white. A lot of them are white, and they're not working for the benefit of white people obviously, but there are, you know, [inaudible] on the left who are against Jews right, so they're still part of the power structure right. There's a lot of different groups in the power structure.
Patrick Casey [00:50:28] The point is is that we shouldn't delude ourselves into thinking that it's just going to take changing a few immigration laws and it's just going to take you know instantly you know applying this policy or that policy as long as the power structure, the cathedral, exists in its current form, it is occupied by the same people, there is there's no hope for what we're, what we're doing right. And Moldbug does a great job, you know all of, I know a number of critiques of what he had to say.
Patrick Casey [00:50:59] But he does a good job of pointing this out in General Introductions and I'm sure other essays as well. But, you know, the power structure in America isn't really the government, rightm there's something above it, right, and he refers to that as the cathedral, right. We have the university system, the media,, basically it's like it's like a priesthood, right and that's why he uses the term cathedral, that, you know, there is something in society that is, that is telling, that is guiding the direction of everything else, guiding the direction of government,, determining what you can say and what you can't say, and that is that is part of the power structure and as long as that exists guys,
Patrick Casey [00:51:35] You can even manage to change a few immigration laws, as long as the people keep going to universities, getting brainwashed, as long as people as well as journalists have the ability to unperson you for your political views.
Patrick Casey [00:51:53] As long as journalists have the ability to put politicians in their place. Yeah there are absolutely journalists making forty thousand, fifty thousand dollars living in LA, living in Brooklyn, who were able to strongarm politicians, right. Look at what they did to Steve King, right, these are journalists right, and that's what they do. They're basically like the high priests of our society. The point is that we need a transition in power, we need the current power structure to perhaps be dissolved, and a new one created, or having new people occupy these positions of power. You know, I think that the idea of having, you know there are going to be people tasked with manufacturing consent and creating consensus and so forth in society regardless of whether it's us or them, so it's not so much that the strategy is the issue, it's just kind of the people in charge and what they, what they what they're selling, so to speak.
Patrick Casey [00:52:50] So the point is with all of this is that we want power. Ultimately in the big picture we want the structure to be different.
Patrick Casey [00:52:58] I think that the American government and American power structure is so far gone for me that to delude ourselves into thinking that we can change things without a substantial change in government power structure and so forth is, is you know, it's delusional, right, we're not going back to the 1950s.
Patrick Casey [00:53:19] There are probably some pretty dramatic changes ahead. Now we can agree to disagree as to what form of government that will be.
Patrick Casey [00:53:26] I think it will probably be some form of Republic but how do we get power, right? Patrick Casey [00:53:33] We wan't talking about a very lofty very ambitious aspiration, gaining power.
Patrick Casey [00:53:40] We gain power by getting capital. Capital's the way that our, us as an organization will build our organization up to the point that it is able to effect positive change for the better, for our people, for our nation, and America is, there's a lot of wealth in America, a lot of people in America. So that's something that we have going for us, right, we have the potential to be far bigger than the. than any identitarian movement in Europe, right, and identitarians have told us that, they're like, you guys are in a massive wealthy country, right, there's no reason why you can't do that. There's no reason why we won't. Right. But it's up to us. Right. We have to stop thinking that people are going to come along and save us. Well here's our next meme candidate that we're going to vote into office to fix all of our problems. No no no.
Patrick Casey [00:54:28] We don't know exactly what's going to happen in the future.
Patrick Casey [00:54:31] We don't know how we're going to save ourselves, how we're going to extricate ourselves from this mess, but we do know that if we build up a very large and powerful organization that has connections to billionaires, to professors, to scientists, to bureaucrats and so forth, people in government, politicians, right, that that infrastructure that we build is going to be useful no matter what comes, right. Scott Adams is a goofy guy but he's right about the need to build systems rather than, what does he say, systems rather than goals. And I think the gist of what he's getting at there is that you build, if you build it, they will come, right. You build a good worthwhile system rather than just saying, i mean we look at it this way, there are people that are saying, you know, blogging about how we need to, you know, the northeast needs to secede and become an ethnostate. Well I mean it's a nice idea. Sure you can have a nice., you can write a really long blog post how you plan to do that. But what's more worthwhile, just writing a blog post about how you're going to carve up the country when you're in your living room, you know, at 2 am on your phone writing this, or building up an organization that spans the country, that has thousands and thousands of members, millions of dollars, right,, which one is going to be more able to affect change, right?
Patrick Casey [00:55:49] We know, we have to make the most of whichever opportunities history has given us. Now the former Donald Trumpe, history did give us an opportunity, right, we rode the Trump wave, most of us wouldn't be here, this organization wouldn't exist were it not for Trump, most likely.
Patrick Casey [00:56:05] But one good way, so basically what Moldbug advocates, and again I don't agree with him on it, I think his descriptive rather than prescriptive analysis, or what he has to offer in those terms is is better on a descriptive level than a prescriptive level.
Patrick Casey [00:56:24] But still on a prescriptive level he has really interesting ideas.
Patrick Casey [00:56:27] So he basically believes that the system isn't working. There's a lot of evidence it isn't and that it's going to fall apart sooner or later.
Patrick Casey [00:56:35] And as it, there needs to be something that can replace it later.
Patrick Casey [00:56:40] And I think a good, a good example of that though I'm not terribly familiar with this chapter in history, would be the fall of the Soviet Union and basically how Putin rose to power, right. Soviet Union fell apart, Vladimir Putin, you know, maybe not being directly the guy responsible for taking things in the right direction.
Patrick Casey [00:57:00] But I mean largely, he kind of has been,, so I mean if we build up parallel institutions in this country, then we can absolutely be ready for whatever may come. Maybe it's the government kind of collapses, maybe secession becomes an option. There's a lot of economic discontent that I think is going to in the future channeled, is going to be ripe for being channeled into a more identitarian and or nationalistic direction. I'm, in fact I actually finshed Andrew Yang's book recently, [inaudible] and one of the chapters he outlines a very intricate scenario that to him is a nightmare and that to me and to the rest of us is opportunity, right.
Patrick Casey [00:57:39] And in that he talks about how, you know, let's say a few years, maybe by 2030, 2040, millions of truckers are laid off, they're just laid off and over the course of a few years. And instead of just accepting defeat, they staged massive protests. They drive their trucks into the big cities, they block, this is the scenario that Andrew Yang outlines. They block a major intersection, right, cause a lot of chaos in the protest, and then a lot of Andrew Yang's concern that like a white nationalist, basically, or we would say identitarian, sentiment starts to join in with that economic thing and then he's, you know, there's, I don't think America is going to hold together unless something dramatic changes.
Patrick Casey [00:58:25] So there is, there's possibility for some kind of secession, some kind of regionalism, you know perhaps states starting to say,, you know we're not going to do what the federal government says right.
Patrick Casey [00:58:35] I mean,, it might sound farfetched but I think we all kind of see the direction where this country is going in.
Patrick Casey [00:58:40] I don't think there's going to be a massive civil war where people are like you know lobbing Molotov cocktails at government buildings. I certainly would never, never advocate for that, let it be known, in fact I'm saying I don't think that's going to happen. But civil unrest absolutely, could be stuff like the yellow vests.
Patrick Casey [00:58:56] It could be stuff like trucker protests, you know, Andrew Yang's darkest nightmares. But the point is, we don't know what opportunities are going to be presented, but we do know that the more money, we have more people we have, the better we know each other, the stronger the bonds are, the healthier and stronger and wiser we are as individuals, the more likely we are going to be to able, more likely we are going to be able to take advantage of whatever may come. So, that is how we have to do things, right. We need more money. We need more people. We need to get to know each other better, we need everyone in this organization improving their skills, becoming more physically fit. Reading reading books, useful books and starting families is very important too, these are the things that we need to be doing.
Patrick Casey [00:59:44] It's actually pretty simple. It's pretty simple, you know, a lot of people on the Internet want to, like, here's you know my 23 tweet thread about why you know American Identity Movement is wront, and it's like American, America was founded on the liberal tradition, and I'm not actually talking about anyone in particular here, though some people probably come to mind, but the point is, you just need to get people together who know, right. Patrick Casey [01:00:06] On the idea that we're going to beat the powers that be by critiquing liberalism. Well that might work, insofar as critiquing liberalism attracts intelligent people to our ranks. Sure. But the way ideology works as far as I can tell is that it flows from power, people gaining power through nefarious means, and then they promote, that, they promulgate an ideology that justifies their their existence, right, justifies their stranglehold on society. And that's what the current ruling elite does. Not only does it justify it. It's basically, it, the ruling ideology that elites promulgate serves their economic interest, serves their material interests.
Patrick Casey [01:00:51] I think I think at the end of the day most of it is material, right, it's the desire for power and money, and those are often related. But the point is is guys, do you think these bankers who get together, do you think they care about anti-racism and, you know, not misgendering people and trans awareness, of course they don't. No, they don't, they probably think this is all terribly weird, but that's why they're promoting it, right. They're promoting anti-racism because they want to import a prole class from the Third World for cheap labor, right, they want to ensure that white people in America are no longer a force capable of pushing back against them, right, we already know all of this stuff.
Patrick Casey [01:01:34] But the point is, that the ideology, given that the ideology comes from above, and is used to justify the idea, to promote the interests of elites, then you know, we're not going to change these elites opinions by critiquing their ideology, and critiquing the ideology can bring people to your side. Sure. But you know, we're not you know one critique of liberalism away from winning. I also don't think that liberalism is the whole issue, right, I mean obviously there's a big issue with liberalism but the left is becoming increasingly post-liberal, right, they don't care about these liberal ideas such as you know free speech and so forth.
Patrick Casey [01:02:17] And you could certainly argue that liberalism is defined by what Dugin referred to as a monotonic process. That's the idea that there is a process is going to continue forever ad infinitum.
Patrick Casey [01:02:32] And that is, that is basically this this idea of progress that liberals believe in, both conservatives and actual progressive liberals,, progressives in general the idea that, you know, we're constantly moving forward, we're constantly getting away from the past. We're constantly reaching new levels of enlightenment, with, oh look at all of our, you know, all our children are all trannys now, wow we're so progressive. No. You know a lot of this stuff was, a lot of the sexual deviancy was done back in the Weimar era, right, that, I don't think they're really gaining any new ground. And guess what. Degeneracy is not progress. At the end of the day I don't need to tell you guys that. But the point is it's just dialing back to what I was, getting back to why we're talking about liberalism, we don't need you know, it's not we, what will happen is we take power through, through other means, through political maneuvering and so forth and then, we promulgate an ideology that justifies, that is identitarian, right, that justifies our existence, keeps us in power and so forth, defines the enemy, pathologizes enemy beliefs, and so forth, sure. That's what we do. And, yeah, so basically that's that.
Patrick Casey [01:03:46] So we don't we don't need to think about, oh we just need to complete the system and so forth. The intellectualism, that stuff's good. It's going to attract intelligent people, and, but, you know, we just need people who are here, ready to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty, right. Get things done. Do activism, show up to meet ups, recruit people. Right. Some of the people have done the most in this organization are really people who are you know spending four hours a day reading Goerte, right, and that's, that's fine. I mean, I try to read every day but yeah I'm not, that's that's not what I'm here to do. I'm not here to read books and write four thousand word essays on Heidegger. I'm sure I could do that. Should be a lot of fun. I've written essays is in the past obviously but we just need to be very conscious of what needs to be done.
Patrick Casey [01:04:32] So we are laying the groundwork for whatever may come, and a big part of what we're doing as well is raising awareness of our issues, right. Because we need to, we need to win people over. That's never going to stop being something that we need to do. But again, power isn't just through critiquing liberalism or through winning over hearts and minds. Right. Look at the fact that neoconservatives had, there were like 20 of them getting together at university campuses right, now think of how many millions of millions and millions of Trump supporters aren't getting their way. They're not getting the immigration reform that they want.
Patrick Casey [01:05:07] We need to win over elites and we also need a way to get people to work.
Patrick Casey [01:05:12] We need to get people to work and direct their efforts accordingly. And in one person, you know, there are a lot of people out there who are kind of low info and you know even if they're intelligent they're not particularly politically engaged.
Patrick Casey [01:05:26] We want these people, and I'm talking to people on the right. We want these people to be able to look at us and say hey that's cool. Yeah there's pro- American, it's anti illegal immigration, whatever. You want these people to see us as potentially being future rulers, right. They don't have to understand our ideology altogether. Guess what. These guys are going to fall in line.
Patrick Casey [01:05:45] Now, would they be inclined to fall in line and support us if we started gaining power if we were explicitly like, National Socialists, or you know basically white communists, or something weird? No, not at all.
Patrick Casey [01:06:01] But yeah there's, there's a good portion of the country that will I think, will be able to go along with the race stuff as long as they're getting something economic in return. And, believe me I would be absolutely, if I was elected president, if I was running a presidential campaign, I'd be very very very pro worker, right.
Patrick Casey [01:06:19] I wouldn't be pro-worker yet socially conservative, but, you know, econominally moderate, even somewhat left, right. I'm not, I'm not a leftist, I don't like mass socialism or anything, but I, yeah you need to get these people on board somehow.
Patrick Casey [01:06:37] But anyways, that is our strategy right. So we do the activism, that is how people, how we get people to apply. That is activism is a great way of spreading the message right. Winning over hearts and minds. But that's not enough.
Patrick Casey [01:06:48] We need to bring people and integrate them into the system that we're building, integrate them into the social network and then get them to work. Get all you guys to work on, this is the kind of thing that we have to do quite a bit, and we'll have to do quite a bit of work, sacrifice quite a bit. Patrick Casey [01:07:07] I mean, you have to be in this for the long haul guys, if you're joining this just because it's a fun social club, you're more than welcome to stay here. And again I made it very clear you don't have to do activism but we can't expect change overnight. Now again I call it a hunch, call it intuition, but I think big things are coming in the next maybe five years or so.
Patrick Casey [01:07:26] You know Trump was unexpected. No one was expecting Trump. There are things happening in the zeiteist that are, there are forces at work that are going to create other things like Trump, not necessarily political candidates but just phenomena that is to our advantage, ultimately, but that is unforeseen right, there's,things are very chaotic, just, just in history and the kind of forces, the technological, economic, cultural, and historical forces at work. There's a lot of chaos and basically anything could happen. So the question is going to be how much work have we put in when the time comes. How much groundwork have we laid. How many people do we have. How much money do we have. How many connections do we have. Because I can tell you behind the scenes we are connecting with more and more important people every day. People with serious connections.
Patrick Casey [01:08:18] People who I can't talk about, just because they've no other kind of people who because there are people who I could be classified as elite.
Patrick Casey [01:08:29] They've got, you know, maybe not quite billionaires but definitely quite wealthy, who have serious connections, who liked the alt-right at first, got close to it, and then realized these people, you know, the Richard Spencers and these whatevers, these people are self sabotaging, they're destructive, they're narcissistic, I can't be anywhere near the people. So a lot of what we're doing is picking up the pieces of the alt- right. A lot of infrastructure was built, a lot of potential was squandered, but we learned so many valuable lessons. So there's a lot of potential for what we're doing. I'm confident that we are going to be able to emerge from this victorious. We have to keep in mind we are on the right. Like it or not, there's not, I really doubt there's going to come to a point in this country where it's going to be white versus non-white. If that's ever what the schism is, we will join with, we're obviously on, on team white. That doesn't mean we have to be hostile to minorities who are supportive of white people and the West maintaining being white overall obviously.
Patrick Casey [01:09:29] The point is, is that it's largely right versus left and the right faction is, those people are cool with us, ,ight. I meet minorities from the Proud Boys and they're supportive of what we do. Meanwhile, you know, I have people, white people in my family, who aren't terribly supportive. So I mean I have plenty people my family who do support it so it's not too much of an issue. But the point is is it's largely an ideological divide at this point, though it is implicitly racial, right. Obviously the the right wing faction in this country is overwhelmingly white and it's the remnant of white America.
Patrick Casey [01:10:03] So we would be foolish to believe that these people aren't on our side. Behind the scenes, you meet with Trump supporters, most of them seem to get it, are cool with us. Right. I haven't met a single Proud Boy Boy who isn't cool with us. You can think what you want about them. But guess what, the Proud Boys, they are friends with people in the administration. One of the Proud Boys was telling me about conversations he's had with Kellyanne Conway. So we are part of the right. The goal is should there ever be chaotic circumstances happening that we're able to have a leadership position in whatever right wing faction kind of develops and so forth. So we just, we need to be able to find allies as, and soon identity, as American Identity Movement we'll be able to find more allies, absolutely. That's already happened, right, I went on Infowars.
Patrick Casey [01:10:45] So overall I'm very optimistic about things. I am absolutely confident that we're going to be able to push back against this agenda, that we are going to be able to reclaim our destiny. Right, we're not going to be beholden to this corrupt regime for too much longer. But again, time will tell. I think things, great things, climactic things will happen in our lifetimes. But that's all the more reason for us to put in the hard work now. So get up every morning. Strive to be the best person you can be. Try to make as much money as possible, try to do as much work for the organization as possible. Consider becoming a patron, right, money is always the thing that's, money's our limiting factor. If you're interested in becoming a patron you can go ahead and reach out to me. I can explain to you what we have, different tiers and so forth, but anyways, that concludes all I have for you. It's really important. I know some of you have heard this stuff before but it's really important that everyone is on the same page, that what our strategy is, right, that we need power, that activism is how we acquire capital, capital's the building block for power, and we have to be ready for everything, we have to build a good system, build good infrastructure, rather than getting tied down to very specific ideological plans like secession vs. taking over the government, we just have to be ready for anything basically.
Patrick Casey [01:12:09] So that is all. Thank you. We'll take questions comments and concerns as usual go ahead and DM them to me on here rather than on MatterMost and I'll go ahead and answer them.
Patrick Casey [01:12:21] TJ - what kind of dining table, hat kind of dining table at the HQ, long table style or round table?
Patrick Casey [01:12:29] So it's not a long table, I've got a small dining room set that sits, that seats five people, having a big round table would be pretty cool.
Patrick Casey [01:12:38] Also if you guys want to donate any furniture to the HQ, that would be fantastic because we certainly need it. I picked up a free couch from Craigslist that is in pretty good condition, and I want to thank Josh in Maryland who spent a few hours in the car today driving to pick it up and bringing it to the HQ and then driving back home. Thank you Josh. Really solid stuff.
Patrick Casey [01:13:01] The house we picked it up from was pretty whitepilling, it was, you know, it was in the suburbs. Nice white family. They had both the grandparents, parents, kids there. This couch was in the basement which was totally the kids. It was basically the kid's territory right. You had just tons of toys and stuff around. Me and Josh and I were saying to each other like man we need this everywhere. This is, this needs to be, we need to, I want to live in a country where this is basic. Everywhere you go, it's a nice white family, but yeah if you have any more questions feel free to shoot them my way.
Patrick Casey [01:13:49] So I wanna go over a few things from MatterMost while you guys write, type out your questions, if you are, you are doing that.
Patrick Casey [01:13:56] So for MatterMost, when you get the invite you want to click Join Now. Don't click the URL click Join Now. Then you'll register and then you click Join Now, sorry, then you click the URL and you click the URL. Make sure there's nothing at the end. If it's slash and then the regional server delete the whatever. Just make sure it's basically columbia.Americaidentity movement.com I believe. That's whatever the link says but again no nothing after the slash. If you need to get added to the national server ask your coordinator, your chapter leader.
Patrick Casey [01:14:27] We're calling them chapter leaders now, not coordinators, given that it's a new organization. But other than that we have AmRen coming up in May. If you're interested get in touch with Flying Dutchmann. You can message him on MatterMost. He's rented a few villas and we want to fill those up with people. It's going to be a great time. We recruited some great people last year. I want to have tons of AIM members there just handing out materials, getting to know people and really hyping up interest in what we're doing.
Patrick Casey [01:14:56] But yeah, with MatterMost too, it's not MatterMost classic it's regular MatterMost app, I've heard of people having issues. I don't know if they're having issues with the browser or the app, I haven't had any issues with the app. But you know, I've had to restart a few times, but that's OK. And I know, you know, it's not, it's different than other platforms we've used but once you get used to it it's pretty straightforward and it's very customizable. We're able to do quite a bit and we're never going to be able to get kicked off of it which is the important, one the most important parts.
Patrick Casey [01:15:39] Charlotte - I know the women's server isn't a priority, but do we have an ETA it?
Patrick Casey [01:15:45] The ladies of AIM are always a priority for the organization.
Patrick Casey [01:15:50] I think that actually was one. I don't know if was one of the first ones but point is that we do have the women's server up once I get Wi-Fi set up and I can use my PC,my laptop again, I acan add you to that. But I think if you message Gimlet and you're nice you could probably convince him to add you to the women's server.
Patrick Casey [01:16:25] Anything else guys? Alright I've got a number of questions here.
Patrick Casey [01:17:10] Flying Dutchmann - thinking about changing to a new handle, Hannibal, given the new org. If members prefer Dlying Dutchmann I'll stick with that.
Patrick Casey [01:17:19] I think maybe, maybe a new handle would be good again. You don't want anything you say now to be tied to, I think it's probably better if you're not able to let the other side know who you are.
Patrick Casey [01:17:33] Probably easier that way, so I would recommend that, yeah.
Patrick Casey [01:17:44] Flying Dutchmann says they can vote.
Patrick Casey [01:17:46] Well if you guys want to vote in the general MatterMost channel on the national team then you can go ahead to do that. You guys can weigh in that way. I know people were attached to the Flying Dutchmann, so.
Patrick Casey [01:18:02] 'Let me get a' says, does AIM have a slogan?
Patrick Casey [01:18:07] No, AIM, well it doesn't have an official slogan yet but I think something like this land is our land could be pretty good. You guys have any suggestions that'd be good. Patrick Casey [01:18:19] Keller - when people apply, if they're not accepted will they have a rejection email notice? I have had a few tell me they applied and have not heard.
Patrick Casey [01:18:28] Yeah guys so we're swamped in the interviewing server. We're training a few new people that's going to, that's going to be pretty good. We've trained a few already.
Patrick Casey [01:18:38] So thank you to everyone who's who's taking the lead there.
Patrick Casey [01:18:41] Because interviewing servers always been a hard thing for this organization. It's hard to find the right people to train them. And for people that are willing to consistently put the time in. So if you've been in the organization longer than three months, if you've been vetted in person you're, you present well, you're good with people, so forth, not too autistic, sorry but, you know, we need,, we need more, the more normie types that are good interviewers, then, then please get in touch with, with Milario, Milario is the interview manager, sorry, the interview coordinator. And yeah we need, we need more people. We need more people. And, but in the meantime people will be told if, they'll receive news if they're rejected.
Patrick Casey [01:19:25] There's just a good chance that we're, it's because we're behind.
[01:19:27] I don't think anyone's looked at your friend's application.
[01:19:38] Anything else?
[01:19:42] Give it a minute or two here and if there's nothing then I'll get going. But as usual I will hang around and answer any questions you guys have. Let's talk about, so there's gonna be an AIM handbook within the next week or two. It's mostly done, I just want to touch a few things up.
[01:19:59] Hopefully I get a chance this weekend, so basically, it's going to contain the flyer, you know stuff about flyering, the new guidelines for AIM, stuff about, you know, who we are, what we're about, it's also going to take a reading list. So let's talk about the books that you should be reading as AIM. So in the spirit of self-improvement and becoming the best possible versions of ourself.
[01:20:25] If you're not reading at least half an hour a day you're really doing yourself a huge disservice. Right. Ideally you should try to read for an hour a day. That might not be doable for everyone if you have long drives. Maybe you only have free time at the gym, then audiobooks are a great option. Generally better than podcasts or music but basically must must reads for this organization are Tucker Carlson's Ship of Fools and Anne Coulter's Adios America. Those are the two main ones that are good to have all of us, for all of us to have read, and for us to be able to advocate for, to, to recommend to people to. Because when I read those books I'm like, yeah this is basically it, you know, there are a few lines in there that might be a bit goofy about race, but overall, those are really solid books, and guess what, those books that you can talk to the average white conservative about and they can get on board with that. And also Mr. Taylor's White I,dentity I haven't read it, but I've been told it's the go-to book on white identity, that's another good one if you want something more racial. Who Are We by Sam Huntington. I've read some of that, haven;t finished it, that's a good one. Again, for the more intellectually oriented people I would recommend Mencius Moldbug's General Introduction too, I have some reservations [inaudible] the blog. [01:21:50] Again some of, some of the stuff he advocates for I certainly don't agree with, but, you know, his assessment of the situation is good though it's actually really solid very insightful just looking at this leftward shift that we've seen happen basically in the last few centuries, right, it's not just since Obama, it's not since [inaudible] and things have been moving to the left for since at least the French Revolution.
[01:22:16] And you know, you don't have to support monarchy, when in fact Moldbug doesn't even advocate for monarchy, though he obviously sides with the [inaudible].
[01:22:25] But you know that, the race stuff that we're experiencing, the racial issues the mass immigration, a lot of this is the result of, you know, it's the result of factors and forces that aren't really due to race, right, it's not just that there are mean Jews and they want to exterminate us. It's far more, you know, there, there, there're forces that have been at work for centuries that need to be, to be looked at.
[01:22:52] And Moldbug does a good, a good job of that, but again, it's good for us to understand NRX at the very least, just given the fact that it was this dissident right-wing intellectual movement that predated the alt-right, which is where most of us came from, and it's good for people to be familiar with these arguments.
[01:23:17] Someone, who has somewhat of a bad optics name that I'm not going to repeat, says can we use the chairs at the new HQ for the AIM WrestleMania Battle Royale in the ring. I know they're new and everything but when I do Hulk Hogan type chair smacks on Florida's coordinator I want to make sure it's for the organization and doesn't adversely affect our budgetary constraints.
[01:23:39] No promises. If you have, if you want to have a friendly boxing match with, for a coordinator, you are more than welcome to do that.
[01:24:12] Alright well I don't see any more questions so I'm going to go ahead sign off here. Guys thank you for everything. I'm glad that I am able to do this for a living I'm glad that I am able to fight for our people full time and you know there's no a group of people I'd rather be fighting alongside than you all. So thank you.
[01:24:31] One last question here. Can we make Halo One LAN parties at AIM HQ a form of fourth-teir vetting?
[01:24:37] If you bring your Xbox over I might let you play but I don't know if we'll have that as vetting, I don't know.
[01:24:44] But anyways guys thank you. Have a good night. Keep up the good work. Make sure you're up to date on dues.
[01:24:49] The organization did take a financial hit as a result of, you know, how much money we invested in everything for the new, new organization. So please make sure you're doing your part, paying up on dues, staying up to date on dues.
[01:25:01] If you have an extra 50 a month please consider becoming a patron don't make much money at all. I'm a. Patron because I care about this enough. So thank you. Have a good night, and we'll reconvene next week as usual.
