But they are not helping, and counter-extremism experts in Germany have been wondering for some time why the U.S. authorities never moved against Lauck.

JONES, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School ofGraduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment ofthe Requirements for the Degree Master ofArts McMaster University © Copyright by Allison M. Jones, October 1999 MASTER OF ARTS (1999) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (Sociology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: "www.hate.org" -- The North American White Supremacist Movement: An Analysis ofInternet Hate Web Sites AUTHOR: Allison M. Jones, B.A. (York University) SUPERVISOR: Professor V. Satzewich NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 220 ii Abstract This thesis is a qualitative study ofNorth American white supremacist organisations, and their Internet web sites. Major issues framing the discussion include identity and racism. The thesis takes into consideration Goffman's concepts of'impression management' and 'presentation ofself as they relate to the web site manifestations of 'white power' groups. The purpose ofthe study is to analyse how a sample ofwhite supremacist groups present themselves and their ideologies in the context ofthe World Wide Web, and what elements they use as a part oftheir 'performances', including text, phraseology, and images. Presentation ofselfintersects with racism in that many modern white supremacists use aspects ofthe 'new racism', 'coded language' and'rearticulation' in the attempt to make their fundamentally racist worldview more palatable to the mainstream. Impression management techniques are employed in a complex manner, in either a 'positive' or 'negative' sense. Used positively, methods may be employed to impress the audience with the 'rationality' ofthe arguments and ideas put forth by the web site creators.

  • Science in the Service of the Far Right: Henry E. Garrett, the IAAEE, and the Liberty Lobby
    Journal of Social Issues, Vol. 54, No. 1, 1998,pp. 179-210 Science in the Service of the Far Right: Henry E. Garrett, the IAAEE, and the Liberty Lobby Andrew S. Winston* Universily of Guelph Henry E. Garrett (1894-1973) was the President of the American Psychological Association in 1946 and Chair of Psychology at Columbia Universityfrom 1941 to 1955. In the 1950s Garrett helped organize an international group of scholars dedi- cated to preventing race mixing, preserving segregation, and promoting the princi- ples of early 20th century eugenics and “race hygiene.” Garrett became a leader in the fight against integration and collaborated with those who sought to revitalize the ideology of National Socialism. I discuss the intertwined history the Interna- tional Association for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics (IAAEE),the journal Mankind Quarterly, the neofascist Northern League, and the ultra-right- wing political group, the Liberty Lobby. The use of psychological research and expertise in the promotion of neofascism is examined. No more than Nature desires the mating of weaker with stronger individu- als, even less does she desire the blending of a higher with a lower race, since, if she did, her whole work of higher breeding, over perhaps hun- dreds of thousands of years, might be ruined with one blow. Historical ex- perience offers countless proofs of this. It shows with terrifying clarity that in every mingling ofAryan blood with that of lowerpeoples the result was the end of the culturedpeople. , , , The result of all racial crossing is there- fore in brief always thefollowing: Lowering of the level of the higher race; *Portions of this paper were presented at the annual meeting of CHEIRON, the International Soci- ety for the History of Behavioral and Social Sciences, at the University of Richmond in June 1997.

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

Representa una comunidad de hombres y mujeres dedicados a la visión del mundo conocida como el «nacionalsocialismo». La forma externa de tal comunidad es secundaria. Su organización, procedimientos administrativos y similares son simplemente instrumentos. Ellos cambian de acuerdo a la necesidad del momento. Por eso no son el fundamento de este libro. Lo principal es el espíritu, y sus manifestaciones en la vida de un hombre, de una comunidad o de un movimiento. He ahí "la esencia" del NSDAP/AO—su historia y sus hechos—que son narrados aquí. ¡Porque ellos transportan el espíritu! Nuestro objetivo Nuestro objetivo es la defensa de la raza blanca. La supervivencia de nuestra raza—y de sus varias naciones—es nuestra «meta principal». Nuestra visión del mundo llamada «nacionalsocialismo», está basada en las leyes de la naturaleza y las lecciones de la historia. Nuestros dos valores más grandes son la raza y la nación.

  • Dossier Neonaziszene
    ARBEITSKREIS „DORTMUND GEGEN RECHTSEXTREMISMUS“ Im Jahre 2005 hat sich der Arbeitskreis „Dortmund gegen Rechtsextremismus“ gegründet, ein Zusammenschluss unterschiedlicher gesellschaftlicher Organisationen und Verbände, unter ihnen die Gewerkschaft, die Kirchen, Parteien, Jugendring und Bildungseinrichtungen. Nach einer Analyse der Situation in der Region wurde ein Experte gebeten, diese Zusam- menfassung anzufertigen. Sie dient der Information in den Organisationen und für Multiplika- toren und Interessierte (mehr Informationen am Ende des Textes) „Dortmund ist unsere Stadt“ Die nächste braune Generation tritt an Rechtsextremismus und Neonazismus treten heute in moderner Verpackung auf. Zunehmend prägen junge Akteure das Erscheinungsbild der Szene. Dortmund und die umliegende Region entwickeln sich zu einem Zentrum rechtsextremer Aktivitäten und zu einem Knotenpunkt der Vernetzung. „Traditioneller“ Neonazismus Nahezu unverändert berufen sich Neonazis seit Jahrzehnten offen und ungebrochen auf die NSDAP und das Dritte Reich. Hitlerverehrung und Hakenkreuz-Fahnenkult stehen im Vor- dergrund bei den propagandistischen Aktivitäten etwa von Gary Lauck , US-Bürger und Lei- ter der von ihm gegründeten „NSDAP-Aufbauorganisa-tion“. Waren Lauck und andere früher auf Postversand oder persönliche Einschleusung von Papierstapeln nach Deutschland an- gewiesen, so bietet das Internet seit einigen Jahren erheblich bessere Vertriebswege. Lauck wurde 1996 vom Landgericht Hamburg zu vier Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt. Gary Lauck mit Hitlerbüste und Hakenkreuzfahne (Quelle: Lauck-Webseite) Fahnen aus dem Versandangebot von Lauck (Quelle: Lauck-Webseite) „Moderne“ Neonazis In Deutschland selbst müssen sich Neonazis wegen der Gesetzeslage vorsichtiger verhalten als ihre Kameraden im Ausland, zumindest in Hinblick auf die Verwendung von NS-Symbo- len und NS-Propagandamaterial. Daher weichen die Aktivisten oft auf Verherrlichung von NS-Größen wie den „Friedensflieger“ Rudolf Heß oder auf „Trauermärsche“ beispielsweise für Bombenopfer von Dresden aus.
