taxonomical effects in reducing fear, uncertainty and doubt - the 5 types of Neo-Nazis
by Zenaan Harkness 05 Dec '16

05 Dec '16

Also titled: "What is a Neo-Nazi and How Can I Become One?" Here's an extract: Let us consider the five types of Neo-Nazis. - Ironic Nazis - This group of Neo-Nazis uses imagery of Nazism and claims to be Nazi because it's funny and upsets Jews and cucks. They like Hitler, but aren't all that deeply into Third Reich history or the specific economic doctrines of the NSDAP. This label can be applied to at least 70-80% of the Alt-Right. - Anime Nazis - This group of Neo-Nazis shares an equal affinity for Hitler and Japanese cartoons. Some of them may actually like Japanese cartoons more than they like Nazism, but think Hitler was a pretty cool guy and feel the Third Reich aesthetic compliments the Anime aesthetic. - 1488 Skinheads - This group is generally a bit older, as the skinhead movement isn't especially big in most cities in America presently. They are pretty serious Nazis, but don't really go into much detail. They feel the imagery of Nazism is powerful, so embrace it, mixed with a type of hardcore street gang aesthetic. They are good people. - Dress-Up Nazis - This group of Nazis dresses up like 1930s German Nazis. I guess it's mostly based on Rockwell's strategy of shock-and-awe propaganda, though I can't say for sure as I've never actually met one. Since Bill White got locked up, there haven't really been any prominent dress-up Nazis. - Serious Business Nazis - This Nazi group is very serious and looks intellectually at the details of the NSDAP movement and seeks to apply it in a pure form to America and other White countries (though almost always without the dressing-up, which serious Nazis view as silly). You will notice them often saying that they are not "Nazis" but "National Socialists," a distinction that other Nazis don't generally make. You will also see them somewhat preoccupied with labeling things as "degenerate," and perhaps opposing certain "vulgar" tactics of the rest of the Alt-Right. They are a relatively small group, and can be a bit overbearing at times, but they are important to have around, in my opinion. ... But What is the Plan Though? Although there are exceptions, I don't think that on the whole, many people envision Americans dressed-up in SS uniforms and marching with Swastika flags as the end-game of the Alt-Right movement. The Jew media and certain cuckolds/infiltrators trying to redirect the Alt-Right like to portray Neo-Nazis as having this sort of plan, but it is more about using Hitler and the Third Reich for four main reasons: - General inspiration - Hitler and the Nazis were awesome, and so they inspire us. - It's fun and enjoyable - I think even the serious business Nazis can agree that armies of internet trolls spamming pictures of Auschwitz to Jewish journalists is very funny. It is also rebellious, and brings an element of danger that does not exist in drier presentations of White Nationalism. - It demonstrates an unwillingness to compromise or apologize - Previous nationalist movements have tried to avoid the Nazi issue, regardless of the fact that they will always be compared to Nazis and accused of being Nazis. When you try to say you're not a Nazi, you look like you're apologizing and backtracking. You look weak and pathetic, even if people accept that you are not a Nazi. If you claim to not be a Nazi, you start a downward spiral of intellectual compromise. By simply saying "yes, I am a Nazi - let's move on to the next question," you break that cycle. - Desensitizing the public - Nonstop images of Hitler, especially when juxtaposed with cartoon frogs, Bane, Anime, etc., remove the image in the minds of the public of evil Hitler Nazis. You cannot possibly argue with the emotional imagery the Jews have created with their endless propaganda about the horrors of the Holocaust, so you have to undermine it by confronting it directly. ... http://bbs.dailystormer.com/t/what-is-a-neo-nazi-and-how-can-i-become-one/5… -- Certified Deplorable Fake News Nazi (TM)(C)(R) Executive Director of Vice, Ministry of Winning Shilling for buxom Russian swastika clad minxes since 1488

on the Palestinians
by Zenaan Harkness 05 Dec '16

05 Dec '16

A letter and response - an Israeli presumably seeking to comprehend Hamas declaring ongoing war against Israel. ---- Hi Dr. Duke. I am an Israeli resident and terribly bothered by the death of so many people in this war. On the other hand, at least as I understand, Hamas is declaring they will continue fighting Israel under any conditions. What would you expect Israel to do? i’m not here to provoke, but to truly try and understand the other side. Best regards, Gershon ---- Dear Gershon, Thanks for your letter. I hope it is sincere. On the assumption that you are truly trying to understand the “other side” I will attempt to offer a very short rebuttal of the Zionist position. Perhaps, instead of being totally myopically concerned with Hamas declaring that it will fight Israel, you should attempt to understand why Hamas wants to fight Israel. Your nation, your people and your people’s influence around the world in media, politics, finance have supported the murder, terror, ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Their homes, farms and businesses have been stolen. [photo] Those who have tried to resist your occupation and terror have been abducted by the tens of thousands and tortured in Israeli prisons. You have welcomed fellow Jews from all over the world to come and take land which is not theirs and take part in a state that holds the land by murder, terror and oppression. The very idea that in the modern world one can arrive in a territory, and then can seize it through violence and bloodshed, just because they think that their ancestors lived there 2,000 years ago, is insane and ludicrous! If any other people on earth would commit such horrendous crimes they would be condemned and brought before the World Court for Crimes against Humanity. In fact, much of the world does condemn Israel for its actions. But your state is protected by the American government—and that is only because the Jewish lobby controls the US’s financial, media and political infrastructure—as it does in most other western nations. Jewish tribalist subversives have taken over most of the media conglomerates, control the biggest banks of the world (such as like Goldman Sachs), and thereby bribe and corrupt the political process. This is also the only reason why those states have diplomatic relations with Israel. Any state with a morally untainted and uncorrupted leadership would have broken off diplomatic relations with your country and completely boycotted your predator nation by now. And now in Gaza, the true face of Zionist hatred is being shown. You are literally massacring thousands of innocents. Over 1,300 people have been killed, over 7,500 have been wounded and maimed, more than half of them women and children. Thousands of homes, businesses, schools have been destroyed. About 30 percent of all the deaths in Gaza are those of innocent children and babies. Do you understand what that means? Let me spell it out for you: at least 350 children and babies have been murdered, and over 3,000 children either killed or maimed. Can you understand what that means? [photo] The mass media, dominated by your Zionist brothers and sisters, equate homemade rockets, of which 99.9 percent fall harmlessly, to tens of thousands of really powerful guided Israeli missiles that have taken a toll of countless thousands of Palestinian lives over the years. Your Zio tribal friends in media put pictures of three abducted Israeli teens on the front pages all over the world, but completely ignore the tens of thousands of Palestinian teens and adults who have been abducted by the Jewish army and dragged off to prisons of torture and death. How many Israelis have died in this latest conflict? 3 civilians and 45 members of the military who are the themselves a part of the terrorist army that mass murderers and maims thousands of Palestinians civilians. How would you react if 3,000 Israeli children and babies had been murdered or maimed? The most horrific Israeli weapons of mass destruction are raining down hell on the Palestinian people. It is like shooting fish in a barrel. But, they are not fish, they are human beings, blown up in their own homes and schools. Just a few minutes ago another school was struck with 20 dead kids and 100 injured. The leaders of Israel and its military are all guilty of war crimes, and of human rights violations on a massive scale. And if a Jew or anyone else who supports this horrific ongoing human massacre… then you too are guilty of a deep moral crime. That is my take on this. It is up to your own heart and mind to contemplate all of this and decide what is truly right and moral. All I know is that if the Jewish people were in the same circumstances: being bombed and blown up by the thousands, with hardly any ability to defend themselves, then you would say that those carrying out the murderers were the devil incarnate. The Zionists are doing that right this moment. Are they not the Devil Incarnate? That’s how bad it is. What is Israel to do? You ask. * Immediately stop the mass murder. * Charge your leaders and their allies in the media with crimes against humanity. * Prosecute and punish them yourselves. End the Occupation! * Remove every Jews-only stolen settlement from the West Bank. * Recognize the Palestinian State and accord it the same sovereign * rights as you want for Israel. * Allow all the Palestinians who you terrorized and murdered back to their homes and lands that you stole, and treat them with respect. * Compensate them for the theft, murder, torture that you have inflicted upon them! Those things are the least you can do. And those actions would make a damn good start! I am not proposing mass revenge here against the Jews of Israel. These points are the very minimum of Human Justice! Thank goodness there are small percentage of Jews—far too few in number—who recognize and decry Jewish racism and terror and murder, just as they would decry those crimes in any other people. I hope you can be one of them.

bankocracy
by Zenaan Harkness 05 Dec '16

>From Italy with amore: “Is it democratic that the banks have taken control of the institutions? This is called “bankocracy,” not democracy."[...] “We are convinced that, if we are able to take back sovereignty we can raise Italy from the rubble, but we will be governing a country in rubble. “You don’t realize it because now we are in the center of Genoa, but I have traveled across this country and there are urban peripheries that are like the peripheries of the big cities in Latin America. “There are five organised crime groups and young people willing to kill for very little and an increase in drug consumption and firearms that is incredible. “And while this world of financial capitalism is producing injustice, and the injustices are provoking violence, here there is a political force made up of young people who are talking about public water, public transport, public instruction and public health and European citizens are supposed to be afraid of us?” -- Certified Deplorable Fake News Nazi (TM)(C)(R) Executive Director of Vice, Ministry of Winning Shilling for buxom Russian swastika clad minxes since 1488

Extremists Turn to a Leader to Protect Western Values: Vladimir Putin
by John Young 04 Dec '16

04 Dec '16

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/03/world/americas/alt-right-vladimir-putin.h… For Mr. Heimbach is far from alone in his esteem for Mr. Putin. Throughout the collection of white ethnocentrists, nationalists, populists and neo-Nazis that has taken root on both sides of the Atlantic, Mr. Putin is widely revered as a kind of white knight: a symbol of strength, racial purity and traditional Christian values in a world under threat from Islam, immigrants and rootless cosmopolitan elites. "I've always seen Russia as the guardian at the gate, as the easternmost outpost of our people," said <http://www.sam-dickson.com/>Sam Dickson, a white supremacist and former Ku Klux Klan lawyer who frequently speaks at gatherings of the so-called alt-right, a far-right fringe movement that embraces white nationalism and a range of racist and anti-immigrant positions. "They are our barrier to the Oriental invasion of our homeland and the great protector of Christendom. I admire the Russian people. They are the strongest white people on earth." His <http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/08/us/politics/us-formally-accuses-russia-of…>voice amplified by Russian-funded think tanks, the Orthodox Church and state-controlled news media, like RT and Sputnik, that are aimed at foreign audiences, Mr. Putin has in recent years reached out to conservative and nationalist groups abroad with the message that he stands with them against gay rights activists and other forces of moral decay. He first embraced this theme when, campaigning for his third term as president in early 2012, he presented Russia not only as a military power deserving of international respect, but also as a "civilizational model" that could rally all those in Russia and beyond who were fed up with the erosion of traditional values. The Kremlin has also provided financial and logistical support to far-right forces in the West, said Peter Kreko, an analyst at <http://www.politicalcapital.hu/>Political Capital, a research group in Budapest. Though Jobbik, a neo-Nazi party in Hungary and other groups have been accused of receiving money from Moscow, the only proven case so far involves the National Front in France, which got loans worth more than $11 million from Russian banks. Russia also shares with far-right groups across the world a deeply held belief that, regardless of their party, traditional elites should be deposed because of their support for globalism and transnational institutions like NATO and the European Union.
