AbundantHope Front Pages Pdf *37-- Page 1 Political Information Aug 4, 2018 - How They Do It– ‘We’re Staunch Zionists and We Are Worried About Israel’s Democracy.’ ed note–please keep a few important somethings in mind– “Democracy’ is a Greek paradigm, and the Jews hate the Greeks for having brought that same Greek culture and enlightenment–which includes democracy–and by which large numbers of Jews became ‘Hellenized’ and thus began abandoning the dark and backwards cult of Judaism. This led to a civil war within Jewry, resulting in the emergence of a group of Judaic religious terrorists known as the Maccabees–forerunners to the Zealots, Sicarii, and today’s Al Qaeda and ISIS–who went around and slaughtered en masse all Jews who had embraced even the slightest hint of Greek culture. This mass slaughter is celebrated yearly in the religious feast of H’Nooka (Hannukuh). But, as our unesteemed Judaic hasbaratchiks know all too well, this–pretending to embrace ‘democracy’–is the necessary evil in which Israel must engage if she is to continue receiving her welfare check in the form of all the monetary, military, and political support of the West that functions as her life support machine. Remember as well that a Zionist is one who believes in/works towards the creation of a ‘Jewish state’ as outlined in the Torah, which SPECIFICALLY AND CATEGORICALLY calls for the expulsion of those Gentile nations currently polluting the ‘purity’ of the promised land, and therefore, all the sweet nothings which our 2 unesteemed Hebraic authors are now whispering into our ears is the equivalent of an abortionist claiming to be ‘pro-life’ and ‘pro-child’, as one simply CAN’T be both a ‘proud Zionist’ and yet a ‘lover of democracy’. What is at stake here is–as we point out here often–that the powder and paint making her the woman she ain’t that has effectively disguised the ugly witch known as the Jewish state into appearing as Snow White is wearing off and therefore today’s Maccabbees, Zealots, and Sicarrii are scrambling like rats onboard a sinking ship in trying to conjure up some new magic potion which they hope will anesthetize the Gentile mind and thus buy the Jewish state disaster a little more time before the doomsday clock hits midnight. Political Information Aug 4, 2018 - Saudi Coalition Renews Attack On North Yemen's Lifeline Ron: Why does President Tump's Administration allow these war crimes and crimes against humanity in Yemen? Presumably he has yet to gain control over the Deep State and rogue CIA forces that are facilitating these crimes. Moon of Alabama: Yemen has no air force and no air defenses. The Saudi coalition has been bombing the Houthi held parts of the country for three years and destroyed much of its infrastructure. It is killing indiscriminately. The UN and the media have downplayed the number of casualties by citing an estimate of 10,000 killed that has not been updated since mid 2016. Last year a Moon of Alabama piece found that the real casualty number is likely much higher: Up to July 2017 the U.S.-Saudi coalition had flown more than 90,000 air-sorties over Yemen. Most of those will have involved weapon releases. ... 100,000 dead civilians caused by the war so far is a more likely number than the never changing 10,000.

Neon Revolt Political Information Aug 3, 2018 - Lost in a Brexit Maze: a Baffled Political Class Dreads the Prospect of Jeremy Corbyn The British Establishment wants to protect the expanded privileges it inherited from Margaret Thatcher's neoliberal legacy but appears clueless about how to deal with an increasingly rebellious British public, as Alexander Mercouris explains. Political Information Aug 3, 2018 - Unmasking the Creation of 'Islamophobia' in the Academy Political Information Aug 3, 2018 - South Africa Is On The Road To Barbarism and So Is the Rest of the West Paul Craig Roberts: Who destroyed the West? There are different answers to this question. I believe the unleashed greed of Capitalism by deregulation, the burial of Anti-Trust, and the redefinition of corporate responsibility to include [Ron: legally require] only responsibility to shareholders to the detriment of employees, customers, and communities, destroyed the West. Psychology Professor Kevin McDonald thinks it was the paranoia of the Jews who protected themselves by fomenting division within the societies in which they live. Ron: It is more than paranoia! The political ideology of the neo-Pharisees who pretend that they are Jews, and of their Pharisaic precursers, has ALWAYS been the barbaric, ethno-centric, genocidal Torah and the Talmud based on it. Paul Craig Roberts: "Prof. MacDonald claims that one of the most consistent ways in which Jews have advanced their interests has been to promote pluralism and diversity - but only for others. Ever since the 19th century, they have led movements that tried to discredit the traditional foundations of gentile society: patriotism, racial loyalty, the Christian basis for morality, social homogeneity, and sexual restraint. Ron: Actually the neo-Pharisees who call themselves Jews created and funded anti- gentile Euopean movements LONG before the 19th Century. For instance the Rothschilds organised and funded the Illuminati who fomented the French Revolution in the 18th Century. Paul Craig Roberts: "Why is this in the interests of Jews? Because the [Ron: mind controlled] parochial group loyalty characteristic of Jews attracts far less attention in a society that does not have a cohesive racial andcultural core. The Jewish AbundantHope Front Pages Pdf *37-- Page 3 determination not to assimilate fully, [Ron: and hence to constitute a FIFTH COLUMN in every gentile nation in which they reside] which accounts for their survival as a people for thousands for years - even without a country - has invariably attracted unpleasant and even murderous scrutiny in nations with well-defined national identities. Ron: This is Talmudic propaganda! The reason that gentile societies resent and expel Jews is because the Jews are a murderous, anti-social FIFTH COLUMN within gentile communities. Paul Craig Roberts: In Prof. MacDonald's view it is therefore in the interest of Jews to dilute and weaken the identity of any people among whom they live. Jewish identity can flower in safety only when gentile identity is weak. Ron: The fact that Jews HAVE had an exclusive Jewish homeland in Israel for the last 70 years and yet they still attack neighbouring states and foment civil discord and conflict in virtually ALL of the gentile nations in which they reside gives the LIE to this proposition.

  • How White Supremacy Returned to Mainstream Politics
    GETTY CORUM IMAGES/SAMUEL How White Supremacy Returned to Mainstream Politics By Simon Clark July 2020 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG How White Supremacy Returned to Mainstream Politics By Simon Clark July 2020 Contents 1 Introduction and summary 4 Tracing the origins of white supremacist ideas 13 How did this start, and how can it end? 16 Conclusion 17 About the author and acknowledgments 18 Endnotes Introduction and summary The United States is living through a moment of profound and positive change in attitudes toward race, with a large majority of citizens1 coming to grips with the deeply embedded historical legacy of racist structures and ideas. The recent protests and public reaction to George Floyd’s murder are a testament to many individu- als’ deep commitment to renewing the founding ideals of the republic. But there is another, more dangerous, side to this debate—one that seeks to rehabilitate toxic political notions of racial superiority, stokes fear of immigrants and minorities to inflame grievances for political ends, and attempts to build a notion of an embat- tled white majority which has to defend its power by any means necessary. These notions, once the preserve of fringe white nationalist groups, have increasingly infiltrated the mainstream of American political and cultural discussion, with poi- sonous results. For a starting point, one must look no further than President Donald Trump’s senior adviser for policy and chief speechwriter, Stephen Miller. In December 2019, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch published a cache of more than 900 emails2 Miller wrote to his contacts at Breitbart News before the 2016 presidential election.

The “Great Meme War:” the Alt-Right and its Multifarious Enemies 1 The “Great Meme War:” the Alt- Right and its Multifarious Enemies Maxime Dafaure Memes and the metapolitics of the alt-right 1 The alt-right has been a major actor of the online culture wars of the past few years. Since it came to prominence during the 2014 Gamergate controversy,1 this loosely- defined, puzzling movement has achieved mainstream recognition and has been the subject of discussion by journalists and scholars alike. Although the movement is notoriously difficult to define, a few overarching themes can be delineated: unequivocal rejections of immigration and multiculturalism among most, if not all, alt- right subgroups; an intense criticism of feminism, in particular within the manosphere community, which itself is divided into several clans with different goals and subcultures (men’s rights activists, Men Going Their Own Way, pick-up artists, incels).2 Demographically speaking, an overwhelming majority of alt-righters are white heterosexual males, one of the major social categories who feel dispossessed and resentful, as pointed out as early as in the mid-20th century by Daniel Bell, and more recently by Michael Kimmel (Angry White Men 2013) and Dick Howard (Les Ombres de l’Amérique 2017).

  • Narratives of the Far-Right
    CREST SECURITY REVIEW BEN LEE NARRATIVES OF THE FAR-RIGHT Far-right narratives vary according to the beliefs of those telling them, but they often reflect common themes. In this article Ben Lee gives a short guide to narratives of the far-right. Ideology is discussed openly in some parts of the far-right, but right also exhibits a collective sense of persecution, presenting more commonly it is embedded in narratives. Narratives are themselves as victims of societal oppression. often portrayed as factual, but the structure, cast of characters and focus of different narratives reveals something of the HISTORICAL REVISIONISM – That key historical events have been ideology that underpins them. distorted in the interests of suppressing far-right ideology.

    CIVILIZATIONIISM AND EUROPEAN IDENTITY: TWO ARGUMENTS FOR ANTI-IMMIGRANT MOBILIZATION By Mijat Kostić Submitted to Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Noemie Duhaut Budapest, Hungary CEU eTD Collection 2019 Abstract The focus of the thesis is reaffirmation of European identity conceptualized on civilizational terms within the anti-immigrant discourse. I will analyze two different civilizational arguments that were used for securitization of migrant crisis in 2015 and have framed mass migration as the threat to European identity. Based on the analysis, I formulate my main hypothesis that the anti-immigrant discourse is the expression of certain form of Pan-European nationalism. In the first chapter of the thesis I will set up the theoretical background and explain the methodology that I will be using, while the second chapter will start with a historical overview of how Europe was conceptualized in the civilizational terms based on its unique culture and tradition. In the second part of this chapter I will make my remarks on different conceptions of European identity from the contemporary perspective. The third chapter consists of brief introduction to transnational populism and civilizationism as the main elements of the anti- immigrant mobilization. The main analysis is conducted in chapter four, were I will deconstruct two different types of arguments for anti-immigrant mobilization. The first one that I refer to as the Christian argument is found in the discourse of Viktor Orban who opposes Islam based on its supposed incompatibility with traditional Christian values. On the other hand, secular argument that Wilders uses is based on the commitment to secular ideas and perception that Islam is incompatible with Western liberal values.

  • Terrorism: a False Threat
    TERRORISM: A FALSE THREAT John Scales Avery December 15, 2019 Introduction Terrorism, a pseudothreat This book consists mainly of chapters and articles that I have previously pub- lished, although a considerable amount of new material has been added. The book deals with the terrible consequences of the so-called “War on Terror” which followed the 9/11 attacks. Is the threat of terrorism real? Or is it like the barking of a dog driving a herd? The threat of catastrophic climate change is very real indeed. The threat to future global food security is real too. Already 11 million children die every year from malnutrition and poverty-related causes. The threat to human civilization and the biosphere posed by a possible Third World War is real. The threat of exhaustion of non-renewable resources and economic collapse is real. The dangers associated with our unstable fractional reserve banking system are also real. Beside these all too real threats to our future, the threat of terrorism is vanishingly small. Millions starve. Millions die yearly from preventable diseases. Millions die as a consequence of wars. Compared with these numbers, the total count of terrorist victims is vanishingly small. It is even invisible compared with the number of people killed yearly in automobile accidents. The official story of 9/11 is untrue There is strong evidence, available to everyone who is willing to look at it on the Internet, which shows that the official version of 9/11 is untrue, and that the US government made the disaster worse than it otherwise would have been in order to justify not only an unending “War on Terror”, but also the abridgement of civil liberties within the United States.

  • 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.

  • Overview of the Far Right
    Overview of the Far-Right Dr Benjamin Lee Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats (CREST) Lancaster University, UK This work was funded by the Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats (CREST). CREST is commissioned by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC Award: ES/N009614/1) with funding from the UK Intelligence Community. 1 Introduction This paper considers the ‘far-right’, an overarching term that includes a range of ideologies encompassing both the radical right (democratic) and extreme right (anti- democratic) (Ravndal & Bjørgo 2018). The defining characteristic of the far-right for this paper is: A narrative of racial and/or cultural threat to a ‘native’ group arising from perceived alien groups within a society. This is considered a working definition intended to bound this paper only, this should not be treated as comprehensive.1 This paper focuses on the far-right in the United Kingdom. However, far-right activism is transnational, and so it has not been possible to limit this research exclusively to the UK, nor can the UK far-right be considered in isolation from the wider far-right (Zúquete 2015). The far-right is not composed only of discrete and easily identifiable groups. While various organisations are components of the far-right, including gangs, protest movements, pressure groups, and political parties, the far-right as a whole is amorphous. Its messiness is inherent, stemming from a diverse range of ideologies and narratives enacted over a wide range of geographic contexts by multiple actors. Adding to this, digital technology has allowed an already complex patchwork of groups, influencers and activists to diffuse further through multiple and sometimes overlapping presences on an array of digital platforms.

  • Fighting for America's Soul
    FIGHTING FOR AMERICA'S SOUL John Scales Avery November 19, 2019 Introduction Democratic institutions are in danger This book consists mainly of chapters and articles that I have previously pub- lished, although some new material has been added. The book deals with the the current deep split in public opinion in the United States. Demo- cratic institutions are in danger from racism and neo-fascism. Progressives are fighting to save the values and institutions on which their country was founded. They are fighting to save America’s soul. Racism, discrimination and xenophobia Progressives today would like to eliminate all forms of discrimination, whether based on race, religion, ethnicity, or gender. They are opposed by white na- tionalist groups, especially in rural areas and among white industrial workers and evangelicals, who fear that their own groups will soon be outnumbered by those who differ from them in ethnicity, race or religion. Donald Trump has appealed to these fears using rhetoric similar to that of Hitler. According to the testimony of his first wife, he kept a book Hitler’s speeches beside his bedside and studied it diligently. Hitler’s rise to power in Germany probably would not have occurred had it not been for the terrible economic stress pro- duced by the terms of the Versailles Treaty. Working-class white Americans are similarly stressed, and they have chosen a similar leader. Excessive economic inequality The United States today is characterized by excessive economic inequality. As Senator Bernie Sanders said, “There is no justice, and I want you to hear this clearly, when the top one-tenth of 1 percent - not 1 percent, the top one-tenth of 1 percent - today in America owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent.” Such exaggerated inequality is bad in itself, but it also leads to govern- mental corruption.
