A new one will be up soon, however. Fanatical in our pursuit, and methodical in our execution, FashCast is dedicated to giving members of the Struggle a place to read articles that pertain to the Worldview, and a podcast that serves as a guide on physically and spiritually fighting the kike system that enslaves us. We don't tolerate the Alt-Right, Satanists, mixed breeds, or anything less than Zero Tolerance. Our articles pertain to everything from the Worldview, fighting the system, and how to survive after the collapse of the System and our victory.

    Summer 2021 Nr. 27 ISSN: 2363-9849 Useful Victims: Symbolic Rage and Racist Violence on the Global Extreme-Right Simon Purdue, PhDa1 aCollege of Social Sciences and Humanities, Northeastern University Abstract Article History The extreme-right has long relied on false claims of anti-White violence and racialized victimhood narratives in order to promote violence and advance their ideology. By carefully Received Jan 6, 2021 curating a ‘siege mentality’ among adherents, extremist writers and ‘philosophers’ have Accepted June 8, 2021 positioned whiteness as something under attack, and mobilized the ideas of demographic peril and endangered whiteness in order to justify rhetorical and physical violence against people of Published June 25, 2021 color and minority communities. This mythology has been a constant feature of the publications and propaganda of far-right groups around the world, and has been used to further the constructed image of extremist racist organizations as protectors of both whiteness and womanhood. This rhetoric has been used to radicalize individuals to the point at which they see violence as acceptable and necessary – an oft-repeated process which reached its most recent tragic conclusion in 2016 when a white man murdered 9 worshippers at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, saying to one victim; “you rape our women… you have to go”. This article analyzes the ways in which extremist right-wing groups in South Africa, the United Kingdom and United States have historically constructed the threat of anti-White violence and mobilized it in order to spread hate and radicalize individuals towards violent action.

    Domestic Terrorism & Political Violence Spring 2013 T 5:30-8:00, Ward 3 Instructor Information Name : Dr. Joseph K. Young, Assistant Professor E-Mail : [email protected] Office : Ward 247 Phone : 202.885.2618 Skype : mjosephyoung Web Site : http://nw18.american.edu/∼jyoung/ Twitter : JosephKYoung Office Hours : T 2:00 pm{5:30 pm, W 12:00 pm{2:30 pm Course Description This course investigates the causes and consequences of domestic terrorism and political violence. We will be reading, discussing, hearing, and watching first person accounts of participation in acts of violence within the United States or directed abroad by US citizens. We will examine prominent contemporary and historical terrorist acts and campaigns, hate crimes and other violent political movements through a scholarly perspective as well as the lens of the people directly involved. The course will incorporate insights from psychology, political science, economics, history, and other disciplines to attempt to understand these group's and individual's motivations, goals, and propensity towards violence. I teach another course related to general theories of violence and terrorism that is helpful in preparation for this course but is not required. Learning occurs in many ways, and I strive to engage students beyond simply lecturing. We will engage in a variety of activities including direct instruction, personal writing exercises, partner and group work, class discussions, video clips, demonstrations, problem-solving ac- tivities, simulations, debates, and other critical thinking exercises. I also firmly believe in democracy and will solicit opinions regarding the course generally, and the success or failure of certain exercises specifically.

    THE ATOMWAFFEN DIVISION: THE EVOLUTION OF THE WHITE SUPREMACY THREAT The Soufan Center’s Work on White Supremacy Since early 2017, The Soufan Center has documented the growth of a global network of white supremacist extremists that stretches across North America, Europe and Australia. The Soufan Center’s September 2019 research paper ‘White Supremacy Extremism: The Transnational Rise of the Violent White Supremacist Movement,’ focused on a range of white supremacy extremist groups with global reach, including the Atomwaffen Division (AWD). In April 2020, the Soufan Center published new research, including analysis and recommendations, following the designation of The Russian Imperial Movement — the first white supremacist group ever sanctioned in the United States. !2 THE ATOMWAFFEN DIVISION: THE EVOLUTION OF THE WHITE SUPREMACY THREAT THE ATOMWAFFEN DIVISION The Evolution of the White Supremacy Threat THE SOUFAN CENTER AUGUST 2020 Cover photo: Screen grab from Atomwaffen Division Galizien video titled ‘Grey Zone’ !3 THE ATOMWAFFEN DIVISION: THE EVOLUTION OF THE WHITE SUPREMACY THREAT CONTENTS List of Abbreviations 5 List of Figures 6 Key Findings 7 Introduction 8 Formation, Structure, and Leadership of AWD 10 Goals and Ideology 12 AWD’s Presence Overseas and Transnational Links 13 AWD’s Tactics, Message, and Terrorist Activity 19 AWD’s Threat to U.S. National Security 23 Conclusion 24 Contributors 27 About The Soufan Center 29 Endnotes 30 !4 THE ATOMWAFFEN DIVISION: THE EVOLUTION OF THE WHITE SUPREMACY THREAT LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ADL
