Movement Analysis, 4/18/21

In all cases, emphasis added.

Colin Liddell’s Affirmative Right website gives this summary of DeAnna/Hood/Kirkpatrick, which is where I learned of the association:

KEVIN DEANNA (AKA (((Gregory Hood))) and (((James Kirkpatrick))))

A key figure in the pre- and early Alt-Right. DeAnna was the founder of the on-campus activist group Youth for Western Civilization (defunct). He was, and probably still is, one of the writers most respected by Alt-Righters, publishing articles in Radix, Counter-Currents, and American Renaissance under the pen name "Gregory Hood," and articles in VDARE under the by-line (((James Kirkpatrick))).

He excels at extremely lucid, mid-brain commentary pieces generated by the hamster wheel of the American news cycle, rather than deeper and more profound essays. DeAnna's role in the early Alt-Right has come under the SPLC spotlight thanks to his relationship with top doxxer Katie McHugh, with whom he had a romantic connection for several years. This has revealed that DeAnna once had connections to various more mainstream Conservative sites and organisations.

It seems that Liddell learned of this from the SPLC website, a place that I myself do not quote from (see below, on my policy). However, since Liddell has already discussed it on his own "movement" website, it can now be analyzed here. It is already out there in "movement" discourse.

Let’s consider Katie McHugh.

Concurrently, she began dating Kevin DeAnna. The two met in July 2013, according to McHugh, at a going-away party in Alexandria, Virginia, for a mutual friend leaving a conservative group.

McHugh’s relationship with DeAnna had been her entrée into the alt-right, and she had absorbed DeAnna’s friends by osmosis. DeAnna had wanted to marry her, she said, but McHugh, though she loved him, had several major qualms in the relationship. He was a deeply unhappy person, she felt, in a life of racist activism that had made him too toxic for mainstream society; “I think just because he was trapped in the alt-right, didn’t see a way out, made him very unhappy,” she said. He once told McHugh not to choose the same path, she said, to turn back while she could. He felt it was too late for him, she said.

Now, that is hearsay. It is one person talking, not under oath, about another, to a third party. If it is false, then it is defamation against DeAnna by McHugh. If it is true, then it is very disturbing that a very prominent “movement” activist has, or at least had, at one time, the belief that involvement in pro-White activism was a mistake that others should not make. Note that my own warnings against the "movement" is specifically about Der Movement, Inc. and not against activism itself. And, anyway, I'm not a "movement" "leader" encouraging others to get involved in Der Movement while at the same time privately decrying it. But, we do not know if McHugh's comments are accurate or not.

One thing that I believe that no one argues against is that the DeAnna-McHugh relationship was real. McHugh is a person of low character to have revealed all of this private information (to the extent that it is true; however, even if it is not true, it is still publicly humiliating to all involved) to the opposition, and it is very disturbing that such a person so easily and seamlessly entered high levels of the “movement.”  Although the Irish are considered “lower” than Inner Hajnal Germanics, they are still Northwest Europeans and so there’s a strong dose of affirmative action for them as well.

Bannon (see below, for more hearsay)  is Irish and Brimelow married a "Lydia Sullivan" - an analysis here - so the Irish seem to be considered a higher form of specimen compared to the two-foot-tall superstitious Afrowops sliding around on their skin grease and hair oils. We must remember that the Irish are, after all, a "100% Nordish" "assimilable minority."

Their differences went deeper — and stranger — than that, and allowed McHugh to see inside a truly bizarre subculture. McHugh was a Catholic, while DeAnna was a member of the Wolves of Vinland, a group based near Lynchburg that was focused around a neopagan theology based on self-improvement and feats of strength, as well as coded white nationalism. The idea was to cast off the bounds of modern Judeo-Christian society and find a way back to pre-Christian northern-European culture. 

Sigh. What gives any of these people the right to talk about “optics” with respect to anyone else?

McHugh sometimes accompanied DeAnna on weekend trips down to the Wolves’ headquarters for what they called a “moot” — a ceremony in which the assembled Wolves would smear ash on their bodies around a fire and give what McHugh described as “dramatic speeches” about self-sufficiency and relying on the other group members. They would then sit around the fire and drink beers.

Again, this is hearsay. But, let us assume it is true. Is that the “leadership” of your “movement?”

According to their argument, they can’t be white supremacists because they say that Jews and people of East Asian descent have a higher average IQ. This both whitewashes their bigotry and feeds into the alt-right’s victim mentality, especially as it relates to Jews.

Well, that’s consistent with some of the things I’ve been saying about the HBDers. They don't want to just come out and be pro-White, thus they grovel to Jews and East Asians.

McHugh never told her bosses about her ties to people like Brimelow…In 2015, McHugh says, she witnessed an encounter between Bannon and the white nationalist activist Devin Saucier at Breitbart’s party following CPAC that has stuck in her memory as a sign of just how permissive Bannon was willing to be. At the time she was good friends with Saucier, who has edited for Taylor’s publication American Renaissance under a pen name and who, in 2017, wrote a pseudonymous article titled “Why I Am (Among Other Things) A White Nationalist.” Taylor calls himself a “white advocate” and has written, “When blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western civilization — any kind of civilization — disappears." McHugh brought Saucier along to the party.

As McHugh recalls it, Bannon looked at Saucier, sizing him up. He asked, “Who do you work for? Peter?” referring to Brimelow. Saucier, smiling, said no. Bannon said, “Far to the right, right?” Saucier responded in the affirmative. “AmRen? American Renaissance?” Saucier said, “Yes, sir,” and Bannon put his hand on his shoulder and said, “Well, we’re all fighting the same fight.”

And here we are in 2021, with everything collapsed and things worse than ever. They really fought that fight effectively, huh?  Are you in any way surprised?

More on the Katie McHugh fiasco.

Former Breitbart editor Katie McHugh's voyage from politically incorrect mini-celebrity to Southern Poverty Law Center informant provided plenty of sensationalist media last month. 

Again, that a person of such low character was so easily and quickly accepted in the “movement” tells you much. On the other hand, in contrast, there is a cordon sanitaire around the “insane” Sallis.  You figure it out.

The 29-year-old McHugh, who is based out of Oakton, Virginia…

Oakton, Virginia, eh? The nexus of power!  The central node of "movement" reality!  Hail HBD!

…decided to publicly come out as the person who violated her friends and colleagues' trust, likely in pursuit of a Christian Picciolini style "deradicalization" career. 

Picciolini being the Arab-looking coastal guinea whose ancestry was that to which purebred mountain wop Conte favorably compared his own.

According to McHugh's narrative, rehashed in a recent Slate podcast, she was being "radicalized" by members of the Trump administration, paleo-conservatives and alt-rights. McHugh goes further by claiming to have been a victim of peer pressure and a cult-like environment.

So, a person with no strong views, a shallow “activist” so weakly converted, entered the high levels of your “movement.”

After a dozen interviews with people who knew Katie McHugh personally from 2015-18 and scores of emails we have reviewed, National Justice can report that Katie McHugh has left out big details in her story, particularly a case where she personally entrapped unknowing people in an event she organized, who she later sold out to left-wing political police.

Again, it is a question of character.

McHugh is reported to have given every email, every phone number and every text message she ever received during this period to opposition researchers and political police, like Rosie Gray and the SPLC.

There is no hard evidence, but sources close to McHugh speculate she may have received a 5-figure sum for these private communications.  

Disgusting. That’s enough about that. No accountability for any of the people responsible for bringing this creature into Der Movement.

Doing research about the freaks of Der Movement, I came across a lot of information that will not be specifically discussed, in any detail, here at the present time. My policy is that I discuss two types of information concerning the “movement.” First, anything that is reported in the mainstream media is obviously reasonable to discuss; it is in the general public domain. Buzzfeed can be considered part of the mainstream media, on the online periphery. Second, anything that is reported on the Far Right, broadly defined, is also reasonable to discuss, since it is already openly in the “movement” domain. Thus, reading Colin Liddell’s Affirmative Right website, I found out about the Hood-DeAnna connection. Daniel Friberg brought to the general attention of the “movement” the Pilleater tape, and Friberg and Forney (with Liddell) openly discussed Polignano’s comments about Johnson. National Justice fits here as well.

On the other hand, information directly coming from anti-White, hard-Left activists, even though this can be found online, will not be discussed here. My “take” is that it would be better if none of this be made public. It would have been better if all of the abovementioned material had never come to light, but if it has already come out in the mainstream, or in the “movement,” then the milk has already been spilled, so to speak, and the issues can be addressed. But if the Far Left and the “watchdog” groups spill milk, I do not believe that any attention should be focused on it. I'm not going to be the first one to do it. However, if that information is picked up by the mainstream media, or disseminated by “movement” gossips, I have no control over that; in that case, the milk is obviously very publicly spilled, and, once again, it will be discussed here, if it is relevant. With respect to private things of significance that I know of from my own personal experiences in the “movement,” I will not discuss those matters here.

The only general, non-specific, comments I will make about all of this at the current time is that it is somewhat interesting how many “different” “movement” writers and personages are actually the same person writing under different pseudonyms. There are probably more such instances than just the ones breathlessly reported by the Reds. You also have people who write articles about operational security and then who leave links between all of their pseudonyms and between those pseudonyms and their IRL activity, thus being outed by the opposition.  Finally, I note that while Der Movement hates White ethnics, particularly Southern Europeans, Hispanics, including those with New World admixture, are A-OK.

But, then, do you expect Der Movement to make any sense whatsoever?

Interestingly, it seems to me that Der Movement is becoming increasing less tolerant of, and increasingly hostile to, White ethnics, particularly Southern Europeans. Der Movement has always been hostile to these people but, in a relative sense, I believe that Der Movement was the most tolerant of White ethnics in the years 1995-2010. Der Movement was generally completely dismissive of, and hostile to, White ethnics before 1995, and has been becoming more and more hostile since 2010. The pre-1995 attitude was the usual WN 1.0 Nordicism, with a superficial veneer of pan-Europeanism in some quarters from 1995-2010 to pad memberships and donations, and then the increasing hostility since 2010, which needs to be considered. 

There is a correlation between the increasing post-2010 hostility and the rise of the Alt Right. I usually refute the leftist paradigm that pro-White activists are motivated by emotional problems and a search for identity, and are people who have nothing else going for them other than their attachment to "whiteness." However, while that paradigm was clearly false for WN 1.0, I wonder if it does have some validity for WN 2.0. The Alt Right seems to have been enriched with younger Type I ethnic fetishists, people who indeed seem involved in activism to make up for personal deficiencies and who have little else other than their racial identities. Thus, among the majority of these "activists" who are Herrenvolk, there's a tendency toward an exaggerated Nordicism, and a navel-gazing focus on their own ethnicity. We can then understand why hostility toward non-Nordic Europeans, fueled by the  narcissism of small differences, is increasing since the rise of WN 2.0 (including the failed Alt Right). At the same time, even during the 1995-2010 period, there was always a strong undercurrent of Nordicism, including active WN 1.0 Nordicists, and these types were always looking for opportunities for a resurgence. The HBD-Nordicist-ethnonationalist alliance of WN 2.0, centered on the Alt Right, provided that opportunity.

Let’s consider Saturday’s Johnson-Taylor milksop interview (4/17/21). I call that interview "milksop" because it was completely weak and non-confrontational in every aspect; by a sportsball analogy, it was the equivalent of "batting practice."

Let’s consider the major memes they promoted in that interview:

1. Let’s just go back to the “traditional America” – all the policies that ultimately, and quickly, failed and were completely reversed. And let’s praise the fraud Rushton as well.

2. And then we have the promotion of HBD. The problem is that “White racial consciousness” is not fully compatible with HBD (see below).

3. They discussed: How have White people been tricked? The word “Jew” wasn’t uttered in that interview. Not one time. Surprise! Let’s reference Michael Woodley, but not Kevin MacDonald (the Jewish work, not the HBD Nordicism). Surprise!

4. Then Johnson does his usual gaslighting about Taylor’s groveling to Asians. The coward Johnson refuses to debate individuals such as myself, or to directly engage with the ideas here at EGI Notes. The coward Johnson also fails to challenge Taylor’s comments about blanket Asian superiority, such as:

I think Asians are objectively superior to whites by just about any measure that you can come up with in terms of what are the ingredients for a successful society.

There’s no need to make outlandish (and historically inaccurate) statements like that in order to make the simple point that Asian success in America disproves the idea of a “White supremacist America.”

My counter-argument to Johnson’s gaslighting is here. Instead of directly addressing that, the limited-mentality coward Johnson simply repeats the same points over and over again. It’s like listening to an obsessive compulsive retard.

I call Johnson out as a no-character coward; I call out all of these people for refusing to debate, for refusing to engage. The same argument they make about the System – “the Left wants to censor us because they can’t win the argument” – can be used by myself against Johnson and all the rest. They have to censor and avoid debate because they have zero confidence in their own arguments.

Oh, and yes, the pro-Asian arguments of Taylor don’t have “political significance” – is that why Derbyshire (and his Arctic Alliance nonsense) is given a forum at Amren conferences?

5. The Asian-Black alliance – “Asians were sensible” (repeated at least three times) – sure they were. Taylor was surprised by anti-White attitudes among Asians. I was not. I have been preaching for years the idea that the existential meaning of Asians is hatred of Whites. I have turned out to be right, and Taylor wrong. At some point, the rank-and-file need to recognize who is always right and who is always wrong. 

Taylor said that he “needs to dig deeper” into the problem.  Yeah…how about that Asians are a tropical colored people who have an innate racial animus toward Whites and toward Western civilization?

Is that "deep" enough? Keep on digging!  Maybe, at some point, your hobbit hole tunnel will reach into EGI Notes and you'll find some enlightenment.
