  • {PDF EPUB} Black Sun Aryan Cults Esoteric Nazism and the Politics of Identity by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke New Book, Black Sun, Looks at Fringes of National Socialism
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Black Sun Aryan Cults Esoteric Nazism and the Politics of Identity by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke New Book, Black Sun, Looks at Fringes of National Socialism. A new book, Black Sun , explores the bizarre fringes of National Socialism, past and present. George Lincoln Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi Party until his violent death in 1967, gushed about having had a mystical experience when he first read Hitler's Mein Kampf . "I realized that National Socialism [was] actually a new religion," said Rockwell, who considered April 20th the holiest day of the calendar year. That's when neo-Nazis around the world celebrate Hitler's birthday at secretive gatherings with Aryan shrines, devotional rituals, white power regalia, and other racialist kitsch. These annual conclaves are akin to religious ceremonies where true believers worship Hitler as an infallible diety whose every utterance is gospel. The bizarre quasi-religious and mythic elements that proliferate in sectors of the contemporary neo-Nazi milieu are explored by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke in his important, new book Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity . Although there has always been a theocratic strain in fascist movements, several factors are contributing to a latter-day, "folkish" (or tribal) revival among white youth who are beset by an acute sense of disenfranchisement in Western societies. In response to the challenges of globalization, multiculturalism, and large-scale Third World immigration, neo-Nazi racism in the United States, Europe and elsewhere has sometimes morphed into what the author describes as "new folkish religions of white identity." This neo-folkish resurgence — reminiscent of some early Nazi ideas — encompasses a hodgepodge of anti-Semitic neo-Pagan sects, Christian Identity churches, skewed variants of eastern mysticism, occult influences, New Age conspiracies, and Satanists into the "black metal" music subculture.

Greenblatt National Director Kenneth Jacobson Deputy National Director Milton S. Schneider President, Anti-Defamation League Foundation CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION Christopher Wolf Chair Deborah M. Lauter Director Steven M. Freeman Associate Director Eva Vega-Olds Assistant Director CENTER ON EXTREMISM Mark Pitcavage* Director, Investigative Research Co-Director, Center on Extremism Marilyn Mayo Oren Segal Co-Directors *Report Author For additional and updated resources please see: www.adl.org Copies of this publication are available in the Rita and Leo Greenland Library and Research Center. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The recent tragic shooting spree in June 2015 that took nine lives at Emanuel AME Church, a predominantly African- American church in Charleston, South Carolina, starkly revealed the pain and suffering that someone motivated by hate can cause. The suspect in the shootings, Dylann Storm Roof, is a suspected white supremacist. The horrific incident—following earlier deadly shooting sprees by white supremacists in Kansas, Wisconsin, and elsewhere— makes understanding white supremacy in the United States a necessity. • White supremacist ideology in the United States today is dominated by the belief that whites are doomed to extinction by a rising tide of non-whites who are controlled and manipulated by the Jews—unless action is taken now. This core belief is exemplified by slogans such as the so-called Fourteen Words: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” • During the recent surge of right-wing extremist activity in the United States that began in 2009, white supremacists did not grow appreciably in numbers, as anti-government extremists did, but existing white supremacists did become more angry and agitated, with a consequent rise of serious white supremacist violence.

    BRINGING HISTORY INTO ACCORD WITH THE FACTS IN THE TRADITION OF DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES The Barnes Review A JOURNAL OF NATIONALIST THOUGHT & HISTORY VOLUME XIX NUMBER 5 SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2013 BARNESREVIEW.COM Back Door to War: The Roosevelt Foreign Policy 1933-1941 CLASSIC BY CHARLES CALLAN TANSILL NOW IN STOCK! his large volume masterpiece of 20th Century revisionist history is now at last back in print. Charles Callan Tansill, one of the foremost American diplomatic historians of the 20th century—quoted again and again by his peers and Tresearchers for decades—convincingly argues that Franklin Roosevelt wanted nothing more than to involve the United States in the European War that began in September 1939. When his efforts appeared to come to naught, Roosevelt determined to provoke Japan into an attack on American territory. Doing so would involve Japan’s Axis allies in war also, and so America would thus enter the war through the “back door.” The strategy succeeded, and Tansill maintains that Roosevelt therefore welcomed Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Tansill demonstrates quite con- vincingly his central theme: that FDR sought to include the United States in the Second World War on the side of the Soviet Union from the very beginning, and duped the Japanese into firing the first shot. Tansill based his prem- ise on an examination of State Department confidential correspondence and the manuscript collections of the National Archives and Library of Congress as well as sound reasoning.

    The Revolutionary Anti-Imperialist Movement Selected Essays Second Edition This book is produced and published by LOOP, the Organization for the Liberation of Oppressed Peoples, an anti-colonial, anti-imperialist solidarity organization. You can learn more about LOOP at http://fight4loop.org. 2020 Points of Unity LOOP The Organization for the Liberation of Oppressed Peoples (LOOP) is a communist organization dedicated to the advance of anti-colonial and anti-imperialist politics. Decolonization. LOOP is committed to decolonization, the repatriation of all Native land and the restoration of Native self-determination and lifeways on that land. Every inch of the settler nation now called “the united states” is stolen land, and the oppression of Native nations is rooted in this ongoing dispossession. LOOP struggles against all forms of settler colonial politics, both right and “left,” and unites with all demands and struggles which push forward the return of Native land and justice for Indigenous peoples. Anti-Imperialism. The principal contradiction in the world is that between oppressed and oppressor nations. Our commitment to a proletarian and revolutionary internationalism means that we struggle to advance this principal contradiction in the favor of the world’s oppressed peoples and nations, the global majority. LOOP recognizes that a defining feature of imperialism today is an immense drain of surplus value from Global South labor to the parasitic nations of the Global North. LOOP works for the end of imperialism and demands the repatriation of this stolen wealth to its creators, the international proletariat. Communism. LOOP’s aim is the achievement of communism, a classless society free of all forms of oppression.
