Howard Witt, a senior journalist at The Chicago Tribune, was not honest enough to break the mainstream silence when Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom were murdered last January.  But he has redeemed himself today with a front page piece that lifts the lid on the murders, the liberal conspiracy of silence and the storm of internet protest that followed (and which, folks, clearly WORKED!).

The paper edition even carried the aesthetically perfect photograph of Alex Linder’s arrest at the VNN Knoxville rally.

... whether the attack was a racial hate crime worthy of national media attention is another question, one that has now ignited a fierce dispute over the definition of hate crimes and how the mainstream media choose to cover America’s most discomfiting interracial attacks.

That’s because the murders of Christian and Newsom didn’t fit the familiar contours of a traditional Old South attack, in which whites target blacks and reporters quickly assume the motivation must have been racial.

Instead, the races were reversed: Christian and Newsom were white; the three men and one woman charged with their murders are black. And the failure of the story to gain much media attention outside of the Knoxville area has galvanized conservative commentators across the country who insist the case offers clear evidence of liberal bias in the major media.

They have launched a broad Internet campaign, waged via blogs, e-mails and YouTube videos, to counter what they regard as suppression of a story about an anti-white hate crime.

“There is a discomfort level [in the national media] with stories that have black assailants and white victims,” said Michelle Malkin, a prominent conservative newspaper columnist and TV commentator who has featured the Knoxville case on her Web site. “If it doesn’t fit some sort of predetermined narrative of how we view taboo subjects like race and crime, there’s a disinclination to cover it.”

Country music star Charlie Daniels, who lives 150 miles from Knoxville, contrasted scant coverage of the Christian-Newsom murders with the national media frenzy that erupted last year when a black woman accused three white members of the Duke University lacrosse team of raping her at a party. The white players were cleared in April after the accuser proved unreliable and no evidence corroborated a crime.

“If this [Knoxville case] had been white on black crime, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and their ilk would have descended on Knoxville like a swarm of angry bees,” Daniels wrote on his Web site. “I guess the lack of TV cameras discouraged them.”

The following little activist’s goldmine was posted four days ago by Steven Palese on the BNP results thread.  Some will have read and admired it.  But I thought it deserved headline status.

It’s really a shame that pro-white posters here and elsewhere continue to view the left as a pack of foolish idealists rather than what they are: A coalition of pro-minority bigots busily calculating better ways to extract more group-specific privileges off the backs of white children.

This pro-minority extortion coalition is primarily composed of five groups: paranoid Jews, racial minorities, militant lesbians (the so-called “feminists”) and militant gays plus an army of daydreaming dupes seduced from the majority. Aside from the dupes, members of these minority groups are perfectly conscious of their pariticipation in the coalition and of its objectives; to advance everybody’s group-specific interests against those of the majority. Their cohesiveness, as groups and as a coalition, owes to extensive propaganda aimed at characterizing whites as their common “oppressor” and as their universal scapegoat for all grievances.

That’s what the left is as opposed to what it says it is. Of course, the right is hardly better. The pro-minority bigots operate at the metapolitical level within both the left and the right. The left is dominated to the point it serves them exclusively while the right to the extent it accepts that asserting group interests while white is illegitimate. I say that’s hardly better because, personally, I prefer being attacked from the front to being stabbed in the back.

Bear in mind that by “left” I’m talking about the “new left”, whose evolution is complete in the US and almost done in the UK. I’m not sure how far it’s progressed in continental Europe, e.g. Finland. The measuring stick is the importance of old fashioned worker’s concerns. If private workers and labor unions count for nothing, as in the US, then that country’s left has completed its gramscian long march to become a pure pro-minority extortion coalition that is focalized exclusively on bashing the “white hetero male oppressor”.

Steven is one of the most talented, perspicacious and downright interesting, not to mention determined guys to hit WN in America in years.  And I don’t think that’s just my opinion.  He has the knack of reducing arguments to their core, and the energy to plant them in all corners of the liberal universe.

INTERNET ACTIVIST HANDBOOK

A compilation of original and (yes, especially) unoriginal thoughts and suggestions for the internet warrior.

Our children are being subjected to an ever increasing list of RACE LAWS designed to discriminate against them simply because they’re white.  In addition, recent demographic data shows white kids will soon represent a minority of new births nationwide.  The racial majority of the future will believe, as it believes now as a minority, that white-skins conceal hate-filled and irredeemable hearts, and a political cunning that leads directly to oppression, enslavement and genocide.  That is only what they are being taught today and every day.

But even if we take a less apocalyptic view, the prospect is grim:-

#  More affirmative action discrimination in education
# More no whites allowed race based private scholarships
#  More race quotas in private hiring
#  More race norming of employment tests
#  More separate pool executive hiring
#  More minority layoff protection
#  More sensitivity training
#  More minority promotion networks
#  More no whites allowed contract set-asides
#  More minority-only tax breaks

Add that up and you get an ever-increasing racist discrimination against them for being white - and only for being white.

Suffering this, along with all the bigotry and chauvenism that will accompany it, in silence is not the white way to live.  I expect they will ask us why we did this to them.  Why did we simply acquiesce while the power elite and their minority clients re-arranged our country’s demographics and maximized minority privileges.  They will also ask us whether we resisted or collaborated.

What will your answer be?

We will establish a network of experts, farsighted thinkers, political fora and discussion meetings.  We will thereby deepen and continually further develop the concept of the New Centre and the Third Way.  This is the priority for us.

From the Blair-Schroeder Third Way document issued 6th August 1999.

... the credibility of the EPA [US Environmental Protection Agency - Ed] is defeatable, but not on the basis of ETS [environmental tobacco smoke - Ed) alone.  It must be part of a larger mosaic that concentrates all the EPA’s enemies against it at one time.

From an internal memo leaked from Philip Morris during the “junk science” wars of the 80s and 90s.

Today I happened across a review at Amazon Books of Frank Salter’s On Genetic Interests.  It was posted by one J. P. Rushton “Prof”, and is one of a select group of reviews that he has posted.  I find that fact both surprising and heartening.  The MacDonald list aside, perhaps, precious little evangelism is undertaken by our own intellectuals.  Prof Rushton ranks high in the Euro-loyal elite, certainly on the empirical wing.  It is good to see him speaking to the humble nationalist bookworm.  I certainly could not object if he and our other leading thinkers deigned to speak to the occasional blogworm as well.

And yet, in my heart I know that that would not be the most productive use of their time.  In matters of elite communication, productivity is measured by weight not volume.  Speaking to power is the duty and privilege of an intellectual elite, and that is no less true of ours than of any other.

Street theatre is a very good way of getting the message across, as are publicity stunts.  But you’re right, there is very little that can be achieved through politics in the current climate and most of my own recent activities have been centred not just on music but also hiking, making runestaffs and producing a series of booklets for Woden’s Folk.  Political parties are designed precisely for that, politics.  National-Anarchists and the New Right, on the other hand, must focus upon intellectual warfare and the development of a counter-cultural avant-garde.  People in our circles must express themselves, bring their talents to the fore and do all they can to assemble a philosophical and artistic elite that can radically change the direction of modern society.  Don’t subscribe to folkish ideals, live them out.  Don’t talk about history, make it. Have children, teach them at home.  Remember, you live on through them.  All these things are essential.  If we don’t do this, our values will die.

Troy Southgate, quoted at Stormfront in a thread-starter by NZ New Right intellectual and activist, Welf Herfurth.

Troy and I have some differences on the matter of “the way forward”.  I much admire him, but he takes the view that the loss of England’s cities is inevitable and permanent.  Consequently, we must regroup in the remaining living space, and live the healthy, bucolic life.  My England happens to include London and Leicester, Bradford and Birmingham.  It’s my country and I want it back, cities included (notwithstanding James’ arguments).

Besides, the Third World will never stop coming here, and never stop breeding here, never stop miscegenating here.  Troy’s idyll among the whale-backed hills and green meadows of the English countryside would, at best, be a brief respite.  Probably, it would not even be that.

Something more manful than the bucolic life, adorned by an approximation of Wodenism, is required to answer modernity.  And let’s be clear that we are creatures of modernity in positive as well as negative ways.  The West’s intellectual and technological advancement is part of who and what we are.  I would argue that making technological progress is much more “us” than making runestaffs, not least because it accords with our sociobiology - conflicted with Nature as we are.  I am not in favour of gratuitous Saxonry.  The gratuitous, the inauthentic is of no utility.

So, yes to the intellectual stimulation of politics from the “right”.  Yes to developing a successor to the decaying liberal zeitgeist.  Yes to developing a new, loyal, revolutionary elite.

This is the activism I understand, and which I believe to be capable of producing the genuinely large-scale political, cultural and demographic shifts on which our survival depends.

Following his excursion to the ‘pool last November, Tom Sunic is going back for another interview on the 16th February, 7.00pm local central USA time.  The topics will be the dangers of multiculturalism in the USA and ex-communist Yugoslavia, and his now imminent book, prefaced by Kevin MacDonald, Homo americanus: Child of the Postmodern Age.

I have to say that in its most eggregiously populist moments MR’s little audio adventure will never come within a country mile of the Political Cesspool.  Must be something in the water in Memphis, Tennessee.  But if you want to listen to Tom and you’re in Europe, you might need something a little stiffer than water to keep you company.  The show goes out at 2.00am Western European time.

The following is an e-mail sent by me in my capacity as Executive Secretary of ResistingDefamation.org to William Dean Singleton, Vice Chairman & CEO, MediaNews Group.  It was subject-titled “Hate Speech Unbound: Susan Goldberg & Bruce Newman”.

Susan Goldberg, executive editor of the San Jose Mercury News, and movie critic Bruce Newman struck a blow for the most loathsome kind of hate speech on page 1E in the Mercury News today, 2/2/07, by promoting two hate labels, “shiksa” and “WASP.”

We request that you terminate the employment of both Goldberg and Newman for cause, namely, spreading hatred toward an identifiable section of our community.

SHIKSA

The well-known and widely-recognized hate term shiksa was used in the following way in the second paragraph of the article:

She (Diane Keaton) won an Oscar as the ultimate shiksa (italicized in text)
in “Annie Hall,” so it’s a little unsettling now to see her trying to play the
most aggressive yente (italicized in text) the movies have produced since
“Fiddler On the Roof.”

By linking shiksa to yente and “Fiddler On the Roof,” Susan Goldberg and Bruce Newman explicitly declared the Jewish nature of shiksa which, we are told by Israel Shahak in “Jewish History, Jewish Religion” on page 26, is defined by the “Megiddo Modern Hebrew-English Dictionary,” published in Israel, as “unclean animal; loathsome creature, abomination.” It also has a colloquial meaning in America and Europe as “Christian whore.”

Somehow the director, Michael Lehmann, was spared any criticism for this film at all. We can only wonder why the director was spared when the female star was pilloried with racist terms.

Resisting Defamation, however, finds shiksa to be repugnant because it is a name for European American women that they did not choose for themselves. Its use is a claim to name all European American women by someone outside the class of people named which, in turn, requires that it be based on a claim to supremacy. That is, Goldberg and Newman openly lay claim to supremacy over (and the right to name) all European American women. We explicitly condemn their racist claim, and denounce them for claiming supremacy over all European American women. 

In addition, the term shiksa is used to demonstrate contempt (it’s not funny on any level) and to smother the diversity of those so-named. Its use in AD 2007 on the pages of the Mercury News is a shocking commentary on the bigotry that lies in the hearts and minds of Executive Editor Susan Goldberg and movie critic Bruce Newman.

We are not claiming that shiksa is “insensitive” or that its use is “offensive” to us. We are simply examining the minds and hearts of Goldberg and Newman, and asking that their employment be terminated.

WASP

The hate term WASP was used in the following way in the third paragraph of the article:

Of course, there’s nothing in the Talmud that says a WASP
can’t be just as meddling a matchmaker as Molly Picon…

We don’t know why Susan Goldberg and Bruce Newman explicitly linked WASP with the Talmud, but they clearly identified the term as a Jewish hate term this way. So let us look at WASP from a Jewish point of view. The Jewish analog is WEJ, a well known term of abuse for Jews which means White European Jew. Not having seen Newman, we don’t know what color he is, but Goldberg certainly qualifies as a WEJ, and we trust she won’t mind our tagging her with it in the same way she worked with Newman to tag European American women with WASP.

None of the Goldberg/Newman criticism of the film in question denigrates the director, Michael Lehmann. Could it be that he is spared name-calling because his last name isn’t Keaton? Readers want to know.

Resisting Defamation, however, finds the use of WASP to be repulsive because it is a name for European American men and women that they did not chose for themselves. Its use is a claim to have a supremacy power, the power to name those not in ones’ own group. We explicitly condemn Goldberg’s and Newman’s open claim to supremacy over (and the right to name) all European Americans.

WASP is used to demonstrate contempt and to smother the diversity of all European Americans. It is a “three-fer” in the world of hate speech by denigrating a skin color (white), an ethnicity (Anglo-Saxon), and a religion (Protestant Christians). Its use in AD 2007 on the pages of the Mercury News is just more commentary on the bigotry that lives in the minds and hearts of Executive Editor Susan Goldberg and movie critic Bruce Newman.

We are not claiming that use of WASP is “insensitive” or “offensive.” To see the entire hateful article go to one of these Internet addresses:
