Interview With Craig Cobb Midst the Media Frenzy

Posted by James Bowery on Wednesday, 28 August 2013 01:20.

This interview was conducted midst an SPLC-triggered media frenzy. Immediately after completing this interview, the New York Times reporters showed up at the Leith, North Dakota residence of Craig Cobb—declared one of the most dangerous men in the US by the SPLC’s “Hate Watch”. Listen for the true story behind the frenzied article that will soon appear in the New York Times, and get an idea of Craig Cobb, the man—not the mythic monster.

UPDATE 5: CNN called Cobb asking him for a short statement of his motive for buying up lots in Leith, ND.  This statement was to appear on CNN in some form—Cobb mentioned their ticker.  He asked me for my suggestion and I came up with this:

It is supremacist for the government to test its social theories on unwilling human subjects.  I am trying to find a refuge for people who agree with my social theories.

When CNN called him back for his answer, he decided to go with my suggestion.  At this point CNN told Cobb that the message would appear at 7:15pm EDT.

The message did not appear on the news ticker at 7:15pm nor at any time during the next 20 minutes.

UPDATE 4: Click this link then click “Recommend” to promote the interview with NYT readership.

UPDATE 3: The New York Times story broke and the comments couldn’t stand in starker contrast to those made on the Drudge-linked story (see Update 2).  The comments to the Drudge-linked story are not only sympathetic to someone attempting to set up a protected area, but there is significant mention of hypocrisy.  There are two “publics” here one adhering to old media and the other to new media.  An additional note:  None of the North Dakota news sites carrying this story, and there are several, allow comments from the public.

UPDATE 2:  Drudge is running with the AP story.  If you want to have a high impact for almost no labor or time, just click this link and vote my comment up.

UPDATE:  The Associate Press story was just carried by ABC at their website.  My comment on the AP story there:

jabowery • a few seconds ago
This sentence in the article is false: “He declines to talk about his upbringing and gives no indication as to why he adopted his supremacist platform.”

Indeed I just posted a comment here that linked to an hour and a half interview that was mostly about his upbringing and development of his beliefs, and it was censored.

Do you people have no shame?

Fascinating interview James and Craig.

Thank you very much.

Something like this by itself makes MR eminently worthwhile.

One of the clear patterns that emerges from his biography is the contrast between his and the previous generation. True, his parents generation did take risks for achievement, but as spurred-on by the depression their yield was largely of a material nature; that was an over-emphasis that has carried through to this day (as I have argued, because the White male motive of his generation was not understood, but rather disingenuously pushed-aside, blamed and stigmatized). His generation, nevertheless, felt the need for that philosophical quest - in people such as Chain - from male Being/Dasein to the farther reaches of human potential; the final part of that quest is entry into the middle ground of happy stability in routine efforts - including an ordinary life with his people, his women and family - to date, the sacrosanct reserve of females accessed by ostensibly ordinary males only after achievement.

Chain has earned his entry. He has achieved, but it is not recognized through the prism of evaluation that the zeitgeist would apply.

He is a bit hard on himself in evaluating his life. He has traveled a great deal and going to India in that context made sense.

India seems to be a whole nation devoted to various ways of philosophical living - a commendable national emphasis. That should be worthwhile experience.

It is not his fault that he is under-appreciated and even vilified. The wrong priorities have been winning-out in the materialism of the heard mind. Despite that, having brought his philosophical quest to a good gestalt, he is now filling in the material foundation. It can be a really neat little PLE.

And he is not too old to be a father. What is needed is a woman 35-40 who needs to have a child and has some guts. Hell, he may have son who bats .367, excels in business as well as baseball and hates n****rs!

I listened to the interview, a mellow and thoughtful kind of guy, pretty sad story also (they could do a movie ...opps… I forgot,maybe they will not…)

I just do not understand how and why he broke with his father that was a a successful businessman, it seems he was disowned becausa he was like a hippy wasting time in India rather than a “nazi”. From the point of view of the survival of the WM, it is odd to complain about the destruction of good jobs for your fellow kinsmen and at the same time in your personal life to piss away the material resources that you good genes (through your father) has brought to you. If you are concerned for the cause of the survival of the fellow WM you should also think at your own survival first, and if you keep the family business and inheritance you would have more means to to something about the cause.
There is something very sincere and the moral integrity factor, but there is also something self-destructive. Maybe when he was younger he was more like William Pierce and burned bridges by being much more harsh than he comes across in this interview

The aim of this post is to repeat some points from the interview.

The predicament of the white settler population in North America and elsewhere, and the white original inhabitants in their homelands in Europe, can be considered in ecological terms. White populations are subject to an ecological experiment to which they did not consent, and the effects of which are unknown.

Men of other races are brought into their lands and encouraged to compete for their women. The natural aggressive response of the white males to this threat is characterized as “hate”, which is considered symptomatic of pathology within the individual expressing natural healthy reactions to the foreign intrusion.

***********************

It was also noted that the establishment, as represented by the New York Times and the SPLC, considered efforts to form a white territory, no matter where and of what size, to be a threat needing to be put down.

Ah yes, purple microdot. I remember it well. Such talk brings me back to my wonderful high school days.

But moving on to the meat of the interview: the only question that jumps out at me is why would such a smart dude such as Cobb not realize that his actions wouldn’t result in exactly what happened to him? Some sort of self defeating complex perhaps?

Me thinks so.

Meta comment:

The reason all of the above comments appeared at once was due to my using the same title in the main blog as I used in the Majority Radio blog (see the “Majority Radio” icon at the left side of your screen).  This caused comments on the main blog to appear in the Majority Radio blog.  I changed the title in the Majority Radio blog and moved the misplaced comments back here.

Cobb’s departure from self-preservation occurred, as it does with so many, during the youthful “rebellion” against the father.  This “rebellion” is actually a normal course of events for European masculine identity as it necessitates establishing a separate household wherein the man can more freely express his genetics.  The multigeneration household is incipient eusociality and leads to corresponding social structures.

Yes, indeed, this is a profound “weakness” in Euroman given the dysgenic culture now so dominating human evolution.

Craig Cobb pushes for new enclave in north central North Dakota

Craig Paul Cobb speaks in front of his Leith, N.D. home about his outspoken White Nationalist or white supremacist views in this tiny Grant County town in southwestern North Dakota on Friday, Aug. 23, 2013.

By Brandi Jewett Today at 7:22 p.m.

A group of white supremacists is once again eyeing a small North Dakota town as the potential location for a community of their own.

In an email sent to the Herald, Craig Cobb, who attempted to turn Leith, N.D., into an all-white enclave, included a number of links regarding plans for the small town of Antler, N.D., located in Bottineau County two miles from the Canadian border.

Discussion on the linked websites indicates an initiative is brewing.

It’s called Antler, ND PLE, the acronym standing for Pioneer Little Europe, a white nationalist movement which encourages its followers to relocate to remote locations and form communities.

Cobb says he hopes to crowdsource the project, raising about $70,000 to purchase property in the first of likely multiple campaigns.

“We’ll just try, and hopefully we’ll have some success,” said Cobb, who told the Herald on Thursday he’s acting as a link between the seller and interested buyers.

The crowdfunding campaign has yet to launch on Indiegogo.com.

Antler Mayor Bruce Hanson, 63, said he hadn’t yet heard of Cobb’s intentions to buy property when reached by the Herald on Thursday night.

“It’s all news to me,” he said. “I hadn’t heard anything. I know there’s property for sale in town here, but I hadn’t heard about any property changing hands.”

About 20 people reside in the town, according to Hanson, who said he’s lived in Antler since 1980. He’s been mayor for the past three years, his second stint since moving to Antler.

New town

Cobb first garnered national attention in 2013 when he purchased 12 lots in the town of Leith with the intent to turn it into white nationalist community. The town of less than 20 residents gained national attention as community leaders and residents attempted to push Cobb and his allies out of the town. The small community played host to protests against Cobb’s plans.

He eventually left Leith after being convicted of felony terrorizing and menacing residents when he led an armed patrol through the town in November 2013. He deeded his property back to the city a short time later.

Now, his attention has turned to Antler, a town founded in 1905. The town is located 17 miles west of Sherwood, N.D.—Cobb’s current town of residence.

Cobb said he has been negotiating with a seller for a couple of months and noted there are 28 lots and three homes for sale in the city. The town’s proximity to Canada is something Cobb said he hopes convinces Canadians to settle in the potential community.

“It’s really pretty hard to stop anybody from coming into town and buying stuff,” Hanson said. “It’s kind of a private enterprise thing.”

Online push

The Antler, ND PLE initiative also has a social media following.

At first, a Facebook page called “Antler, ND” seems to be a page for the small town, but the tagline “We will have our PLE in North Dakota. UnityND will not be stopping us!” is the first hint it represents something different.

UnityND is an organization that aims to confront hate and racism in the state, according to its website. A message seeking comment from UnityND was not returned by press time.

The page encourages those looking for looking for freedom speech, GMO-free food and the company of likeminded people to consider buying property in the town.

“This new PLE effort, it’s not about hate. It was never about hate, but we want to make it clear it’s not about hate…” the page says in a June 8 post. “I just want to be in a town with my people, and only my people. Is that too much to ask?”

In addition to those features, Cobb said he’d also like to see a the town’s crime rate kept low and an animal shelter established.

The Antler, ND PLE page is less than a week old and has 46 likes. Other posts include an invite to an officer currently under fire in McKinney, Texas, for pushing a 15-year-old black girl to the ground and links to new stories of crimes with white victims.

A similar Facebook page was created for the Leith initiative in 2013 and has drawn 1,875 likes.

A page administrator recently posted about Antler, ND PLE, urging followers to take action, as a related Pioneering Little Europe page has more likes than UnityND’s page.

On May 10, the page posted a picture of Cobb holding a sign reading “PLE.”

The Antler, ND page administrator did mention the failed Leith venture in a June 8 post.

Antler plans on hold:

 

[quote}Small ND town fighting white supremacist’s takeover attempt

By Adrian Glass-Moore on Aug 13, 2015

ANTLER, N.D.—After white supremacist Craig Cobb tried and failed to start a whites-only enclave in the tiny North Dakota town of Leith, he set his sights on another community: Antler, population 20-something.

But establishing a presence in the town, just a few minutes from the Canadian border, has proved difficult for Cobb.

Last month, he says, he bought $10,000 worth of property in the town’s center from Jim Lozensky, who until recently was an Antler resident.

The sale included an old bank and two nearby residential lots. Cobb wanted to turn the bank into a church for his racist religion, Creativity Movement, which teaches the superiority of white people. The residential lots would be for church members to settle and start a new community together.

He also planned to change the town’s name to “Trump Creativity,” or “Creativity Trump,” in honor of Donald Trump, who Cobb admires deeply.

Needless to say, “Some of the citizens aren’t happy with the situation,” said Steve Watson, the sheriff of Bottineau County.

Luckily for them, the properties are going to the city, rather than to Cobb, Mayor Bruce Hanson said.

Lozensky, the property seller, “took a down payment from Cobb on the property, and the city made an offer also,” said Hanson. Lozenksy decided to sell to the city.

It cost the city about $35,000 to take over more than 20 of Lozensky’s properties, Hanson said.

Cobb, meanwhile, complains that he still has not received a deed to the property. He says the seller wants to reimburse him, but “I don’t want the check. We want our church.”

Cobb said Lozensky backed out of their deal because of pressure from Antler residents, a claim Hanson denied.

However, the mayor did admit that “people were kind of upset” about Lozensky, who recently moved away from Antler. Lozensky declined to comment for this story.

Hanson acknowledged that the city bought the property to keep out Cobb, who lives in nearby Sherwood. “We don’t want the guy in town,” Hanson said. “I mean, who does?”

Cobb said he and others in his church are “not trying to rule over other people at all.”

But he indicated that his intent is to bring in enough people to outnumber the town’s voting population, which he estimated to be 20 people.

Hanson said Cobb targets small towns for that reason. “It’s not about democracy,” Hanson said. “It’s not about the American way.”

Cobb said his community, if realized, would not exclude nonwhites.

So would he welcome black people?

“‘Welcome’ is a strong word,” he said. “We understand that they have a legal right.”

Residents of Leith recently attended an Antler town hall meeting to explain what happened in Leith, which Cobb tried to take over in 2013. He gained national attention for the failed effort.

Hanson says the real driving force for Cobb is just that—media attention.

“That’s the bottom line with Craig Cobb. ... If I was you, I’d just ignore the guy.”
