Odds and Ends, 5/8/22

In der news.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Listen and enjoy!

Supporting my thesis that Der Movement is hostile to Southern and Eastern Europeans, let's consider prominent White ethnics in Der Movement. I will include in this survey people of part-NWE ancestry, like Scutari and Conte, but will exclude the part-Mexican Fuentes, people in the Alt Lite (Fuentes again) - that is NOT Der Movement, I will also exclude Enoch given the controversy of whether he is Jewish. I am only considering people who have contributed significantly in leadership, intellectual and ideology, significant action, etc. - I'm not interested in random skinheads or some commentator on blog threads. I will include Burdi, as Wikipedia claims he is Italian-Ukrainian (not Armenian as others have claimed). I'm focusing on America here.

In the 60s-80s we had Patler who was convicted of killing Rockwell and spent time in prison- Patler had been racially critiqued by the Pierce brigade. Tommasi was murdered. Scutari is still in prison (and the book The Silent Brotherhood chronicled Nordicist complaints about him). That guy who did Nick's Observations for Pierce in the 1970s apparently dropped out.

More recently, there is me -I'm still very much involved in activism but am doing my own thing and am openly hostile to Der Movement and its leaders. Torriani who joined me in critiquing McCulloch in TOQ insofar as I know stopped involvement long ago. Polignano is apparently inactive. Burdi famously dropped out but has recently been making noises of interest once again but doesn't seem to be actually doing anything. Frank Borzellieri suffered from social pricing persecution, but, unlike Sam Francis or John Derbyshire, never received the sort of support (surprise!) that would have enabled him to effectively deal with the fall-out from the persecution. Insofar as I know, Borzellieri is not currently active in the "movement." Conte apparently is involved with the National Justice Party (after his falling out with Spencer). So - what? So we have Sallis who despises Der Movement and wants it destroyed and whatever Conte is doing. Did I miss anyone?

That's it with all of the tens of millions of Southern and Eastern Europeans in the country. What does that tell you?

Laugh at this.

Francis’ friends also did the right thing, by pulling together to offer the patronage necessary for him to ride out the financial setback of losing his job.

Same as with Derbyshire. How did that work out for Frank Borzellieri?  What’s the difference, I wonder?

…he played a leading role in the foundation of the Occidental Quarterly and the National Policy Institute.

Shall we discuss Johnson’s performance with TOQ and Spencer’s with NPI?  All together now….affirmative action.

I first encountered Sam Francis’ writings in the late 1980s, and as I moved away from juvenile libertarianism…

It seems to me that every single “leader” who came to Der Movement via libertarianism has been an utter catastrophe.  Does that suggest a serious character flaw in people who take libertarianism seriously?

I first met Sam in 2001 at a Council of Conservative Citizens event in North Carolina, where Sam Dickson introduced me to both Sam and Jared Taylor.

Once again…as soon as Johnson became involved in Der Movement, virtually IMMEDIATELY, he was hobnobbing with the likes of Jared Taylor and Sam Francis.  All together now….affirmative action.

The last time we spoke, I congratulated him on quitting smoking and losing weight, which I took as his resolution to stay with us for the long haul.

Didn’t work out too well, huh?

I had particularly high hopes for the National Policy Institute, which was to be his platform.

And Spencer ran it into the ground. Please remind me what qualifications he had to be put in charge of that?  All together now….affirmative action.

To get a better understanding of Counter-Currents as an anti-Italian and anti-White ethnic entity, see this comment by one of their authors. Now, look at the content of the link the moron provided but obviously either did not read fully or dishonestly cherrypicked from:

Her mother was of Irish, German, and remote mixed African American descent.

The Black ancestry was from her MOTHER’S side of the family.  This is discussed more here.

Counter-Currents is so radically anti-Italian that their authors/commentators resort to open distortion of facts to smear groups like Sicilian as “Black” and supports my contention that the ultimate reason for the Bavaria article is to once again stir up the “Sicilians are Black” and “Italians are non-White” canards – in other words, promoting anti-Italian memes transparently disguised as an effort to “expose” those memes.

Thus, once again, the naked ethnic aggression of Counter-Currents is revealed. Italians and other White ethnics need to recognize Counter-Currents as their unrelenting foe.

This is Counter-Currents:

I was just thinking of him when reading this piece. “Big Pussy Bonpensiero”, or something like that. Dude does NOT look white as I do, Trump does, etc. Italy has long been thought of as a biracial nation. Maybe not like Obama, but there are pronounced differences between the whiter, more productive and honest Northerners, and the less visibly white, less productive and more criminal Southerners. I long ago knew a young guy whose ancestors were all from the Italian “boot heel”. Even another classmate of ours initially thought this guy was Hispanic.

Notice how the ethnic aggression is always one-sided and always unprovoked. Imagine some American wop who is a reader and supporter of Counter-Currents. Perhaps they give D'Nations and go through the paywall. They mind their business, reading the content and contributing to the fundraising. Very well. What next?

They find Goad routinely questioning whether Italians are White. They read pieces saying that Italians are runty Morlocks, akin to penned up chickens. They read Counter-Currents commentators who mock Italian names, or claim that Italy is a "biracial nation" with a non-White criminal southern half (where most Italian-Americans derive from). They read Counter-Currents commentators imply that a woman with a Southron mixed-race, part-Black mother looks strange because of that woman's normal-looking Italo-Sicilian father. They see someone named "Bavaria" writing an article on perceptions of Sicilians being "Black," provoking some of the aforementioned comments as well as mendacious misinterpretations of population genetics to further defame Italians. And all through this, Italian readers of Counter-Currents are not attacking any other group and are in fact constantly "blindsided" by this unrelenting ethnic aggression.

Any White ethnics, particularly Italians, who support Counter-Currents, or any other "movement" outlet, are, in my opinion, mentally ill.

The whole Counter-Currents anti-Italian hostility issue perfectly supports my contentions about Der Movement's ethnic affirmative action program. If there is a large faction of Der Movement that questions the "whiteness" of Italians, then it stands to reason that an Italian-American would not be viable as a "movement" leader, regardless of how qualified they are. Merit means nothing. On the other hand, the NW Euro Quota Queens, particularly "WASP" types, are elevated to leadership with no significant qualifications and maintain their status despite lurching from one catastrophe to another. Again, merit means nothing. Therefore, I am correct.

WASPs are trusting souls. For that very reason they can be exploited easily by those who promise one thing and do another. … Mass Third World immigration imposes enormous risks upon Anglo-Saxon societies grounded in unique patterns of trusting behavior that evolved over many centuries. If newcomers do not accept the burdens entailed by the civic culture of the host society—most notably the need to forswear one’s pre-existing racial, ethnic and religious allegiances—they are bound to reduce the benefits of good citizenship for the host Anglo-Saxon nation. (Andrew Fraser, The WASP Question (Arktos, 2011), 57, 64)

There is so much wrong with that Fraser quote that one doesn't know where to start. WASP dispossession was in large part mediated by WASPs themselves. Putting aside the 19th century abolitionist insanity and moving to the 20th century, at some point WASPs concluded that they couldn't beat the Jews and decided - at least the "Yankee" WASPs so decided - to throw their lot in with Jews (and Blacks) and salvage as much as their position as they could (e.g., by delaying White ethnic upward mobility). Then we can ask - for those immigrants who did assimilate, like the White ethnics, how were and are they treated? Answer: Actually worse than the Colored pets that WASPs seem to love so much. If you get punished for "good citizenship" and are rewarded for being ethnocentric Jews and Coloreds, well...guess what happens? More bad behavior. Moving to the WASP forebears in Britain, it was Yockey who said that the defining characteristic of British foreign policy was the use of (fundamentally dishonest) cant. And how do WASPs/British behave when they live in other people's nations? How's Morgan, Munro, and Gullick doing these days?
