On the Brink of a Bloody Racial War with the White Race Targeted for Extermination On the Brink of a Bloody Racial War With the White Race Targeted for Extermination by Ben Klassen, P.M. Founder, Church of the Creator 1993 by Ben Klassen Dedicated to the Survival, Expansion and Advancement of the White Race by a dire warning of coming events in the next decade, and an advance preparation for our own survival. Introduction The White Race is now in grave danger of extinction and only a miracle can save it. The White people of the world are now facing the most critical and precarious time they have ever been confronted with in their long, chaotic and tumultuous history. It took hundreds of thousands of years of evolution for the White people to emerge and reach the pinnacle of the outstanding development that distinguishes them from the other human or humanoid sub-species that now breed and proliferate the surface of Planet Earth. But it now seems that it may take only a generation, or two at the most, to completely destroy and demolish what Nature has laboriously and meticulously nurtured over the hundreds of millenniums. Nature, in its special bounty, has lavished on the White Race the greatest of all gifts -intelligence, creativity, productivity and endowed it with a host of other supreme and unique qualities that it has withheld from all the millions of other creatures that Inhabit this planet, at this time, as in the millions or even billions of years in the past. It is a unique honor and prestigious prize that the White people must treasure and guard at all costs. Unless we drastically change course and do it now, we, many of whom are living today, are about to witness the greatest, most abysmal tragedy that has ever befallen mankind. We are about to witness the most shameful decline, followed by a miserable and bloody slaughter of what will be left of Nature’s Finest, and let us make no mistake about it. This is the fate that is now in store for the White people, not only in America, but throughout the world. The world’s most vicious (and successful) parasite, the international Jewish network has been feverishly at work on achieving this goal for several thousand years, and it seems they will bring it to culmination within the next decade, or the next generation. A fate similar to that which occurred as a forerunner in San Domingo two hundred years ago will now unravel on a worldwide scale, and the White people will be exterminated in totality, with not a vestige left. At this point in history, we, the White peoples of the world, still 500 million strong, (but sorely confused and divided) can still reverse this tragedy. Only if we take the bull by the horns, inform, arouse and unite the White people under one language and one religion and erase the nationalistic insanity can we do the job. Only under the auspices of Creativity can we accomplish this. It is the first Racial Religion the White Race has ever had in the 6000 years of its civilized history. It is the Jew’s racial religion, Judaism, that enabled them to conquer the world. It will take Creativity, the White Man’s Racial Religion, to smash their vicious conspiracy and save Nature’s Finest from utter destruction, humiliation and extinction. So let us waste no more time. Let us get our act together and smash the Jewish behemoth once and for all. Let us save this precious Planet Earth, not for the parasites and the mud races, but for Nature’s Finest and our future progeny. The articles embodied in this book are a compilation of the last such I have written as lead articles in our flagship paper, Racial Loyalty, Issues 40 to 81. They are in tune with our creed and program as set forth in the twelve previous books and 39 issues of Racial Loyalty. They nevertheless add much significant material and additional facets to the religious development of our creed and program, a pursuit that is eternal and never ending. May the younger generation now pursue our goal with a militancy, energy and dedication that will drive our congenital enemies into oblivion and enable our future generations to build a Whiter and Brighter World, a goal for which I have strived for so assiduously for the last 20 years of my life. Ben Klassen. September 3, 1992 On the Brink of a Bloody Racial War Issue No. 40 – July 1988 Author’s note: Although this article was written over Will William’s by- line, he did not write it. I had already written it from beginning to end when I hired him In June of 1988, and when I decided to make him the new Hasta Primus I wrote it in the third person form and gave him credit in order to get him off to a good start. B.K. I Never Invented the Wheel But I have enough intelligence to utilize the idea for my own benefit. The wheel! How many times a day do billions of people all over the world utilize and benefit from this ingenious invention! Think of the multitude of vehicles, appliances, ships, motors, clocks and a series of other useful labor saving devices and machines that would be impossible were it not for the invention of the wheel. Yet, in the anthropological history of man, the wheel is a relatively recent invention. Even the Egyptians, who were highly intelligent, far advanced in their civilization, people who managed to build those huge pyramids, did not think of inventing the wheel. It was not until the Hyksos came along in their horse drawn chariots and defeated the Egyptians in the eighteenth century B.C. that this historic invention was thrust upon them and taught the Egyptians a lesson as to what wheels could do for them or to them. The ignorant American Indians had never thought of the wheel even as recently as 400 years ago, when the White Man brought it to them. Even then, the backward Indians were extremely slow to catch on and for centuries thereafter still used the travois laboriously scraping over the landscape. There are, of course, Indians in South America, niggers in Africa, and primitive tribes in many parts of the world today to whom the wheel is an unknown and unused idea. The question has often been raised – what is the greatest invention in history, the use of fire or the wheel? Actually, the question is academic, and not even relevant. Man did not invent fire. It was thrust upon him by Nature in thousands of demonstrations. Fires started by lightning burning down trees or forests, or prairie fires, or fires started by hot lava flows, were in evidence even before mankind climbed down from the trees. But not so with the wheel. Nowhere in its structural design of mammals, fishes, birds or insects is the wheel utilized as part of that design. The invention of the wheel is strictly a man-made invention. Who invented the wheel? I don’t know and neither does anybody else. Nor do I particularly care. Now that I understand the idea, as does most of mankind, I am glad it was invented and I can reap the benefits of that marvelous idea. If we were to reverse history and scrap everything that involved wheels, we would be trashing just about everything we have built and now enjoy. We would be setting technology back approximately four thousand years. I am not so stupid as to say that because I didn’t think of the wheel first I categorically refuse to use it or even recognize that it exists. There is another idea, of much more recent vintage, that is extremely important for survival of the White Race, the race that has not only developed the wheel to its present state of usefulness, but has been instrumental in most of the world’s great inventions and technologies. That vital idea is the concept of a racial religion for the White Race, an idea that is less than twenty years old. It is called Creativity, and is fully expounded in a series of books written by Ben Klassen, founder of the Church of the Creator. He has written three basic books that lay down the fundamentals. They are Nature’s Eternal Religion, The White Man’s Bible and Salubrious Living. These have been (at this point) further expounded and supplemented by four more books, Expanding Creativity, Building a Whiter and Brighter World, Rahowa!, and The Klassen Letters, the total compilation representing a comprehensive and fully structured creed and program specifically designed for the survival, expansion and advancement of the White Race, and the White Race alone. Now let us get one thing straight – Ben Klassen did not invent the idea of a racial religion, per se. That idea was so obvious the uninventive, parasitical Jews latched on to the racial religion idea even before the Hyksos demonstrated the superiority of the wheel to the Egyptians. The Jews have been monopolizing, nurturing their racial religion, clothing it with ritual and tradition ever since. Today the Jews, a parasitical minority that they represent, nevertheless are the masters of this world, the ruthless slave masters, if you will, but nevertheless fully in control of all the governments, the finances, the propaganda, news media, and even the White Man’s religion. This is an incontrovertible fact, and these parasites owe it all to their religion, Judaism. At the heart of that religion is Racial Loyalty, a fanatic polarization and adherence to the basic tenets of their racial religion.

  • HOLOCAUST DENIAL* Denial of the Truth of the Holocaust Comes in Three Modes. One Mode Is Seldom Recognized: Bracketing the SHOAH with Other Mass Murders in History
    HOLOCAUST DENIAL* Denial of the truth of the Holocaust comes in three modes. One mode is seldom recognized: bracketing the SHOAH with other mass murders in history. This mode of generalization flattens out the specificity and denies the uniqueness of the Holocaust. Unpleasant ethical, moral and theological issues are thereby stifled. The Holocaust is swallowed up in the mighty river of wickedness and mass murder that has characterized human history since the mind of man runneth not to the contrary. From the balcony - a perch often preferred by the privileged and/or educated - all violence down there seems remote. A second mode of denial is. encountered as an expression of Jewish preciousness. More or less bluntly, the position is taken that the Holocaust cannot be understood by a person who is not a Jew. This is a very dangerous posture, for by it the gentile - whether perpetrator or spectator - is home free. Why should he accept responsibility for an action whose significance, he is assured by the victims, is outside his universe of discourse? The third mode of denial, in nature and expression more often in the public view, is intellectually less interesting. Like the thought world of its purveyers, it is marked by banality. What interest does a thinking person have in debating whether or not the earth is flat? Nevertheless, the third mode of denial is alive and well. In large areas dominated by Christian, Jewish or Muslim fundamentalism, the facts are denied. In pristine condition, none of the three great monotheistic religions has need to deny the *by Franklin H.

    www.doew.at Anton Maegerle Die iranische Rechtsextremisten-Connection Ersterschienen im Vierteljahresheft Tribüne. Zeitschrift zum Verständnis des Judentums (Frankfurt am Main). 2. Quartal 2006, Heft 178. Hier: ergänzte Fassung. Irans Staatspräsident Mahmud Ahmadinedschad hat seit seinem Amtsantritt im August 2005 in Verbalattacken wiederholt den Holocaust bezweifelt und Israel als „Krebsgeschwür“ bezeichnet. Ahmadinedschad und führende Re- präsentanten des Gottesstaates haben mehrfach angekündigt eine so genannte „Holocaust-Untersuchung“ abhalten zu wollen. „Es ist das erste Mal in der Geschichte der Holocaust-Weltpolitik, daß eine ganze Regierung den jüdischen Holocaust einer freien wissenschaftlichen Prüfung, unterzieht“ – jubilierte die in rechtsextremen Kreisen einflussreiche antisemitische HetzpostillePhoenix .1 Als „Holocaust-Experten“ sind die Namen von einschlägigen Holocaustleug- nern im Gespräch. Irans Außenminister Manuchehr Mottaki bezeichnete im Februar 2006 das Urteil gegen den britischen Holocaustleugner David Irving (Jg. 1938) als „westliches Paradox“. Der Westen fordere Meinungsfreiheit, praktiziere aber das Gegenteil. „Wir verstehen nicht, warum der Westen so verzweifelt darauf besteht, dieses Verbrechen begangen und genau sechs Mil- lionen getötet zu haben“, sagte Mottaki.2 Irving war zuvor vom Wiener Straf- landesgericht zu einer dreijährigen Haftstrafe wegen nationalsozialistischer Wiederbetätigung verurteilt worden. Weithin unbekannt ist die Tatsache, dass Rechtsextremisten seit dem Sieg der Islamischen Revolution 1979 enge Kontakte zum Iran pflegen. Gemeinsam sind den religiösen Fundamentalisten im Iran und den Rechtsextremisten unter- schiedlichster Couleur Feindbilder wie Antiliberalismus, Antiamerikanismus, Antisemitismus und Antizionismus. Islamisten und Rechtsextremisten pflegen ein ausgeprägtes Freund-Feind-Denken, propagieren die Ideologie der Un- gleichheit und lehnen die universalistische Geltung der Menschenrechte und Menschenwürde ab. 1 Phoenix 1/2006, S. 19. 2 Zit. nach Huber, Markus: Justizias Goldwaage, in: Tagesspiegel, 22.

  • David Hamlin, the Nazi/Skokie Conflict
    David Hamlin. The Nazi/Skokie Conflict: A Civil Liberties Battle. (Boston: Beacon Press, 1980) 184 pp., $12.95. David Hamlin, the Executive Director of the Illinois American Civil Liberties Union at the time, recounts in this book the story of the battle over attempts by the National Socialist Party of America, led by John Collin, to hold a demonstration in Skokie, Illinois, in 1977. To the ACLU, this was a "classic First Amendment case" (p. 53) of the sort it has regularly handled, but it developed into a cause celebre which eventually resulted in temporary damage to the ACLU in Illinois and the nation. A straightforward, factual account, unfortunately without footnotes, which tries to describe all aspects of the conflict, the book is written in a lucid style. The civil liberties position was vindicated in this instance; both the Illinois Supreme Court and a federal district court upheld freedom of speech, the ACLU suffered no permanent damage and, as Hamlin argues, "Only Frank Collin lost." (p. 176) Far from advancing the cause of neo-Nazi advocates of racial and religious hatred, the incident revealed how little support Collin and his tiny band actually had. The refusal of the Skokie city council to grant a routine permit guaranteed the Nazis much more publicity than they could have received otherwise, yet this greater notoriety produced rejection for their views, not support. When the "demonstrations" were finally held in Federal Plaza and Marquette Park in Chicago, the few Nazis were faced with thousands of counterdemonstrators and the police were there to protect them.

  • Identitarian Movement
    Identitarian movement The identitarian movement (otherwise known as Identitarianism) is a European and North American[2][3][4][5] white nationalist[5][6][7] movement originating in France. The identitarians began as a youth movement deriving from the French Nouvelle Droite (New Right) Génération Identitaire and the anti-Zionist and National Bolshevik Unité Radicale. Although initially the youth wing of the anti- immigration and nativist Bloc Identitaire, it has taken on its own identity and is largely classified as a separate entity altogether.[8] The movement is a part of the counter-jihad movement,[9] with many in it believing in the white genocide conspiracy theory.[10][11] It also supports the concept of a "Europe of 100 flags".[12] The movement has also been described as being a part of the global alt-right.[13][14][15] Lambda, the symbol of the Identitarian movement; intended to commemorate the Battle of Thermopylae[1] Contents Geography In Europe In North America Links to violence and neo-Nazism References Further reading External links Geography In Europe The main Identitarian youth movement is Génération identitaire in France, a youth wing of the Bloc identitaire party. In Sweden, identitarianism has been promoted by a now inactive organisation Nordiska förbundet which initiated the online encyclopedia Metapedia.[16] It then mobilised a number of "independent activist groups" similar to their French counterparts, among them Reaktion Östergötland and Identitet Väst, who performed a number of political actions, marked by a certain

Antitrust law, securities regulation, the law of criminal solici- tation, and most of the law of evidence, for example, involve legal control of speech lying well beyond the boundaries of the First Amendment's concern. It is not that such regulation satisfies a higher burden of justification imposed by the First Amendment. Rather, the First Amendment does not even show up in the analysis. The explanation for lack of First Amendment coverage lies not in a theory of free speech or in legal doctrine, but instead in an often serendipitous array of political, cultural, and economic factors determining what makes the First Amendment salient in some instances of speech regulation but not in others. Because the First Amendment's cultural magnetism attracts a wide variety of claims, nonlegal factors, far more than legal ones, determine which opportunistic claims to First Amendment attention will succeed and which will not.

  • Skokie, the Aclu and the Endurance of Democratic Theory
    SKOKIE, THE ACLU AND THE ENDURANCE OF DEMOCRATIC THEORY IRVING Louis HOROWITZ* VICTORIA CURTIS BRAMSONt Not since the 1963 civil rights marches in Selma, Alabama, has a small city achieved such a high level of notoriety as Skokie, Illinois, where the American Nazi party proposed to hold a march some time in 1977. The circumstances surrounding each march can be said to illustrate the moral range of responses to the use of the march as a means of expressing political preference. Those who assert that civil rights and constitutional safeguards to free speech are in- alienable quite properly note that it is easy to defend protest movements that have a broad constituency and an even wider popular base. It is another mat- ter to defend the civil rights of a miniscule group of fascists lacking both a noble cause and popular support. Hence, it may be Skokie, not Selma, which turns out to be the touchstone of our faith in constitutional government. Let us not dwell on historical comparisons, but get directly to the heart of the le- gal and moral problems posed by 'affaire Skokie. Writing in The Christian Century, Jean Caffey Lyles, has feelingly and prop- erly put the Skokie issue in a fitting, paradoxical framework. Even before any march has taken place, Skokie has become a symbol. It is now one of those American place names that evokes an event. We need to be reminded how deeply and indelibly the horrors of Nazi Germany are burned into the consciousness and memories of Jewish people, how vulnerable they feel to the possibility of "another Holocaust." Skokie has done that.
