Rick Tyler: Tennessee’s Racist Third Congressional District Candidate

Sarah Viets
July 26, 2016


A congressional candidate in eastern Tennessee who recently made national headlines for his “Make America White Again” billboards is hoping Donald Trump’s racially charged presidential campaign will increase his chances of winning.

In a recent interview with James Edwards, a board member of the Council of Conservative Citizens, an organization that “oppose[s] all efforts to mix the races of mankind, to promote non-white races over the European-American people,” Rick Tyler said, “Well I of course derived some inspiration from Donald Trump.”

Trump’s advocacy of a "temporary ban" on Muslim immigration and the construction of a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico, Tyler said in one of his blog posts, has also “created a climate conducive to conversation about ... namely, the urgent and vital subject of race,” which is what Tyler wants.

Tyler, 58, of Ocoee, isn’t new to politics. He ran unsuccessfully for the same congressional district in 2014, receiving only 0.4 percent of the vote, and for U.S. Senate in Florida in 2010.

His offensive billboards and his pseudo-intellectual AM radio advertisements, called “Intelligent Conversation on Race,” shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Tyler has been active in the white nationalist movement for over 30 years. According to an article published in the anti-Semitic publication American Free Press (AFP), Tyler has distributed copies of AFP and the Spotlight, two publications founded by the late white nationalist Willis Carto, who also founded the first major American Holocaust-denial outfit, the Institute for Historical Review (IHR).

Tyler is also a follower of Christian Identity, an anti-Semitic religious ideology that claims Jews are the "seed of Satan” and people of color are soulless "mud people."

In an interview with Eli James, a Christian Identity pastor who runs Eurofolk Radio, which is “concerned about all White people and their struggle to break free of the Jewish matrix of deceit,” Tyler referred to Jewish temples as “synagogue[s] of Satan.” He also claims that the “true Israelite descent is to be found among those of Caucasian, European ancestry,” according to one of his recent blog posts.

Most recently, Tyler divulged more of his racist leanings during online radio interviews with Edwards, host of the anti-Semitic and racist radio show Political Cesspool, and Matthew Heimbach, a founder of the white nationalist Traditionalist Worker Party (TWP), who was recently charged for shoving an African-American protester at a Trump rally in March.

“What in the world could possibly be hateful about a white man advocating the return of the demographic of the mid-60s,” he said in his interview with Heimbach. According to Tyler, American society “has been stolen from” white Christians.

In his interview with Edwards, he describes white Americans as “our racial ancestors who birthed and brought forth this singularly unique great nation of Christian constitutional republic."

Tyler also has a problem with interracial relationships.

“You know the scent of miscegenation is running rampant today and it wasn’t that long ago that miscegenation was readily recognized as an abomination in the eyes of god… This is a horrific sin that needs to be repented of,” Tyler also said in his interview with Edwards.

Tyler openly accepts support from neo-Nazis and Klansman as well, saying, “Their financial support and willingness to cast votes in my favor will certainly not be rejected.”

Heimbach’s TWP and the National Socialist Movement (NSM), a neo-Nazi group active throughout the U.S, have both publically endorsed the candidate. NSM characterizes Tyler as a “Pro-white and Pro-American Candidate” who is “against International Zionism.” Heimbach describes him as “a family man, small business owner,” who opposes “globalism and Zionism.”

Heimbach is also helping Tyler’s campaign, creating graphics for his campaign signs.

Jeff Schoep, “commander” of NSM, Heimbach and Matthew Johnson, a senior researcher for The Barnes Review, a Holocaust denial publication, are planning to attend Tyler’s campaign kick off event on Saturday at White Water Grill, a restaurant Tyler owns in Ocoee.

The Art of Politics

by Asad Haider

Image


The spectacle of a Democratic Party in disarray at its 2016 national convention prompted Donald Trump to tweet, in an artfully composed example of the appropriation of left-wing rhetoric by the Right: “While Bernie has totally given up on his fight for the people, we welcome all voters who want a better future for our workers.”

The responsibility for this scenario falls on the shoulders of American liberals, who, scandalized by Trump’s invective, had advanced the self-fulfilling prophecy that a left-wing populist would never be able to defeat him. The final nail in the coffin was hammered in by Bernie Sanders himself at the DNC, when he defied some of his own supporters to pave the way for a candidate whose public perception is characterized by corruption, secrecy, and opportunism.

The previous week, as he accepted his nomination at the Republican National Convention, Trump declared himself “the law and order candidate,” promising that “safety will be restored” by his presidency. The next day, a distressed Washington Post declared Trump “a unique threat to democracy.”

But memories inside the Beltway are far too short — every moment in the representation of American politics appears as an exception to the rule. It was not long ago that the liberal-left in the United States saw George W. Bush as a turn of the system towards a satanic monarchy, inaugurating an age of surveillance, inequality, and war. Barack Obama, in contrast, provided an exceptional moment of hope: a charming, erudite, and cosmopolitan leader to calmly guide us to even lower circles of surveillance, inequality, and war.

Now the election season pits the hawkish supervisor of Obama’s military strategy against an unhinged billionaire sociopath with a shrewd mind for marketing. In this topsy-turvy election it has turned out to be foolish to make predictions. It seems fair, however, to ask a question that is being ignored or suppressed: if eight years of Bill Clinton gave us George W. Bush, and eight years of Obama gave us Trump, what would eight years of Hillary Clinton give us?

Helpfully, Trump has given us a clue. By reviving the slogans of Reagan and Nixon, and presenting his candidacy as a reaction to social conflict surrounding racist police violence, he has made his lineage all too clear. While the American left has yet to come to terms with the sequence that runs from Nixon, to Reagan, to Bush, to Trump, the Jamaican-born British intellectual Stuart Hall devoted a large portion of his career to grappling with the similarly unsettling rise of Margaret Thatcher, in the context of a debate among the British left that anticipates the American present.

TRAD YOUTH NETWORK CONFERENCE GETS BANNED FROM VENUE


The Traditionalist Youth Network and Traditionalist Workers Party are starting to see just how much of a loss their failed event was in Sacramento. Trad Worker, and their leader Matthew Heimbach, had hoped that the publicity of the event would put them in a sympathetic light after having been so roundly shut down by Antifa.

During Trad Youth’s organizational conference in Tennessee, the hotel that was hosting them eventually asked them to leave after realizing who was hosting the meeting. They were told that it was for fear of disruption, either from the Nazi participants or from the wave of anti-fascists that might shut it down.

Image
Jeff Schoep, NSM

They cemented their neo-Nazi reputation by having Jeff Schoep, the leader of the National Socialist Movement, as well as Rick Tyler, a white nationalist running on a racist platform for the third congressional district of Tennessee. They also invited William Flowers from the League of the South, an organization that often tries to present itself as just a moderate Southern heritage group. Matthew Johnson of the Barnes Review was also in attendance, known for his Holocaust Denial and virulent anti-Semitism.

Image
Paddy Tarleton

Trad Youth’s own Paddy Tarleton, who recently humiliated himself when he was tricked into given inside information about Trad Youth events to Antifa organizers, did one of his racist parody songs entitled “Joining BLM.”

After their main event they headed to the Confederate memorial in Cleveland, Tennessee. They are doing their best to unite their own fascism with reactionary Southern feelings about the Confederacy, and they have had success from drawing from Southern racialist organizations.

Trad Youth, and their political wing the Traditionalist Workers Party, is doing its best to maintain connections to the more suit-and-tie Alt Right crowd while also appealing to the gutter violence of the KKK and Nazi skinhead groups. This is helping to further marginalize them and to create counter movements to shut them down regularly. They have little crossover into mainstream right-wing circles, and this makes them a toxic organization that even those on the radical right repudiate. If the counter-organizing continues to maintain its intensity, then Trad Youth will continue to be rejected by venues and the communities they call home.

U.S. Party Elites Hemorrage at the Edges

(This article appeared as the editorial of Insurgent Notes No. 12)
http://insurgentnotes.com

Insurgent Notes
has no use for electoral politics per se. They are useful mainly to take the temperature of society, primarily with “our party”, the majority party of non-voters. But American party politics have been dominated for so long by “same old same old” that 2016, with still months to go until November, already stands out as an exception. Missing (so far) are the assassinations and nationwide urban riots which marked that last exceptional year, 1968. Most clearly in the case of the Republicans, but palpable as well with the Democrats, the “center-right” and “center-left” elites who have graciously taken turns administering year-in year-out austerity for more than forty years, have lost control. Washington and Wall Street are loathed by the great majority, across the spectrum. What interests us is not so much who will win—barring some as yet unforeseen upheaval, by no means excluded, it will be Clinton—as what will become of the huge bases of Trump and Sanders, once their leaders are defeated. The hard right and extreme right forces newly legitimized by Trump, especially, will not be going away. On the moderate left, the long-dormant “socialism of junior professors”, DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) has reportedly been opening a new section somewhere every week (they, hopefully, will be going away or remain as irrelevant as they have been). A friend of Insurgent Notes based in the Midwest, who has been closely watching the far right at gun shows and elsewhere for years, tells us that some of Trump’s base would be attracted to a real revolutionary left movement, if one were to exist (he also adds that “they have a lot more guns than we do”).

Commentary across the board also seems to see “angry white men” as the most contested terrain. We note one statistic: for the U.S. “demographic” between the ages of 24 and 59, whites have the highest death rates of any group from suicide, drugs and alcohol. For all the decades (more than four of them, and counting) during which American workers, white, black and brown, have been downsized, outsourced and de-industrialized, who has been talking to them? Surely not the elites of either party. Not the “chattering classes” from Park Slope in Brooklyn and Bernal Heights in San Francisco. Not the denizens of the cool “campuses” of high-tech firms in Silicon Valley. Surely not the middle-class left, which has been twisting itself into knots about race, gender, ethnicity, identity, inter-sectionality and transgender, i.e. the super-tolerant left where anything goes, anything of course but the “old hat” and much-maligned concept of class. During these ever more shrill debates, which reach far beyond academia through education and popular media, who, precisely, has been speaking to the hundreds of thousands of ex-workers in ravaged ex-industrial cities such as Detroit or Youngstown or Pittsburgh or Buffalo or Rochester, N.Y.? to similar hundreds of thousands of working-class retirees seeing their often-miserable pensions cut or eliminated? to the former furniture workers (there used to be a million of them) in the forgotten towns of North Carolina or Virginia? To all the doughty, overweight inhabitants of rundown trailer parks made invisible by the “bi-coastal” elites and their fading hegemony?

And who is speaking to such people today?: Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.

(We should note in passing, to dispense with any America-centric lenses, Trump’s counterparts, this newly-vocal hard and extreme right–anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, anti-chattering classes, anti-globalist– exist as well in a large swath of northern and eastern Europe, drawing support in part from the same downwardly mobile and ex-working class strata produced by the post-1970’s crisis. This is the “bill” come due for all the intervening decades of invisibility enforced by the globalist “Davos” bourgeoisie, its captive media and professoriate, and by the middle-class left, the latter being always (as in the Stalinist 1930’s) the vanguard of anti-worker ideology.

A good segment of the world is moving to the right, in western and eastern Europe and in Latin America (with Argentina and ugly mass demonstrations in Brazil in the lead); for that, we can in part thank the moderate left managers of capital, the Clintons, the Obamas, the Blairs, the Hollandes and the Lulas and Rousseffs.

America, therefore, with an emerging mass left-wing grassroots reaction against the legacies of Bill Clinton and Obama, would seem to be on a somewhat different timetable. A mere ten years ago, at the height of the “sub prime” bubble and phony “wealth effect” of debt-fueled expansion, to imagine a self-declared “socialist” calling for “political revolution” attracting millions of people, and especially young people, would have been a bad joke. That 50% or more of Americans today define themselves as “socialists” or claim an interest in “socialism”, or that “socialist” is the most searched word in Google: all of this is rather mind-bending for anyone who lived through the long, glacial winter from the 1970’s until a few years ago. Occupy, Black Lives Matter and the Sanders campaign were and are all different responses to the same deteriorating situation.

It has taken a while, but the real toll of decades of economic decline culminating (so far) in the 2008 crash is finally emerging to the visible surface of social and political debate. The Obama years will be remembered as a meaningless parenthesis in which this calm, slick, well-spoken Harvard Law School graduate and first black president , with his sleazy economic advisors (Tim Geithner, Robert Rubin, Larry Summers), restored, for a while, the appearances of normalcy, at least for Wall Street. Meanwhile, tens of millions lost their homes and were ground down economically, record numbers of undocumented immigrants were deported, 4700 killer drone attacks were authorized by the White House, one-third of young people, into their 30’s, have been forced, with crushing student debt, to move back in with their parents, the electronic police state revealed (for any remaining skeptics) by Edward Snowden was further consolidated, the militarization and the sickening proliferation of American flags in daily life continued apace, and America, with military installations in 110 countries and a defense budget equal to those of the seven next largest armed forces combined, plays with fire and a potential major war in the Middle East, Ukraine and the South China Sea.

Or even better, the Obama years may well be remembered as the parallel to the 1929-1937 period, during which a lame state-sponsored recovery from the crash ran out of steam and gave way to preparations for war, and then to war itself.

We know very well that Bernie Sanders still mainly operates inside the “white bubble” of American politics. While it seems remarkable to hear any major candidate call for free higher education and free health care, and to consistently denounce the role of big money in U.S. politics, there is also a “clean Gene” element to Sanders’ appeal that avoids any head-on confrontation with the American blind spot of race. Who is this Brooklyn-born man who, after working with CORE (the Congress on Racial Equality) in the deep South in the mid-1960’s, joined (consciously or not) the post-1960’s white flight to the counter-culture paradise of Vermont to make his political career? He enlists himself in the long tradition of socialists, including his otherwise honorable role model, Eugene Debs, who said that socialism has nothing special to offer to black people. Sanders draws bigger crowds than Clinton, but they are largely white. While nominally an independent for most of his decades in Congress, he has voted 95% of the time with the Democrats, including for Bill Clinton’s Omnibus Crime Bill of 1995, intended to put 100,000 new cops on the streets. Hillary Clinton, for her part, dominates in the black middle class, based on both their calculation that she alone can stop Trump and on rose-tinted memories of the Bill Clinton years, memories which somehow do not include the latter’s law-and-order rhetoric, the above-mentioned Omnibus Crime Bill leading to the incarceration of further hundreds of thousands of black and brown youth, or the abolition of welfare, forcing still further hundreds of thousands of single mothers to take minimum-wage jobs accessible only by hours of door-to-door of commutes on miserable public transportation (where such transportation existed at all).

We of the hard left or left-communist milieu acknowledge that we as well, in our own very small comfort zones, have little or no contact with, not to say influence on, the working people, of any color, who are supporting Sanders, Clinton or Trump.

Let’s also acknowledge that there has been no major presidential candidate for the White House as far left as Sanders since at least World War II, perhaps even since Eugene Debs in 1912 and 1920. And polls show him defeating Trump more decisively than Clinton could. Hillary Clinton will never shake her obvious association with the highest levels of Wall Street and Washington, not to mention her association with the sleaze that has dogged her and Bill Clinton and, more recently, the Clinton Foundation. Even her immediate natural base of middle-class feminists seems to prefer Sanders.

Sanders, on the contrary, has been politically consistent since he was mayor of Burlington. Vermont and subsequently elected to Congress (House, Senate) from Vermont. There is no sleaze or waffling in his background.

We therefore begin our critique of Sanders with the old adage: the Democratic Party is a political roach motel; reformers check in, they don’t check out. Democrats (Bill Clinton, Obama) and Republicans (George Bush father and son) alike have strangled Iraq and unleashed the whirlwind in the Middle East. Sanders does not have much to say about extricating the U.S. from this disaster; he will be, willy-nilly, the commander-in-chief of U.S. imperialism, and all that entails. When considering left-wing Democrats, it is sobering to recall that Woodrow Wilson (World War I), Franklin Roosevelt (World War II), Harry Truman (the Korean War) and Lyndon Johnson (Vietnam) were all (with the exception of Truman) on the left wing of the party. Republicans have historically been the party of wealth, Democrats the party of war. It is remarkable how apologists for this lineage focus entirely on the (already problematic) domestic agenda, and rarely venture into foreign policy, which in a super-power where foreign policy is central, is hardly an afterthought.

Sanders, his supporters will say, is different. We ourselves cannot suppress a smile watching him make it hot for Hillary Clinton, who a year ago seemed on her way to a coronation, and who responds to his lacerating comments about her Wall Street ties with a lame “let’s stick to the issues”, as if those monied
ties of the political class across the board are not one of the issues. Trump himself has every chance of making mincemeat of her, if not for the chattering classes, more importantly for a significant part of the downsized white population, which already loathes her anyway.

Let’s stretch the envelope a bit and concede for the sake of argument: yes, Sanders is the most left-wing major candidate for president of the U.S. since Eugene Debs. But immediately we see that historical context, if not everything, is almost everything. Debs was the product of decades of sharp class struggle in the U.S. going back to the 1870’s, and lasting to the 1930’s. He himself had led some of those struggles and in 1912 got 5% of the vote as a socialist, at the peak of influence of the old Socialist Party, whose considerable left wing (Debs included) opposed American entry into World War I. He had emerged in an era marked by mass strikes and by the upsurge of the IWW. Imprisoned during World War I for sedition, he ran again from jail in 1920 and still got one million votes. Rosa Luxemburg he was not, but radical, especially in American terms, he was.

Sanders is none of that. He recently joined the Democratic Party in anticipation of running. We can hardly criticize him for not having the class struggle profile of a Debs, since the long empty decades prior to 2011 were no kinder to him than they were to us. Barring a social and political earthquake even larger than the erosion of the two parties’ elites, a hypothetical President Sanders will be even more isolated and handcuffed before a hostile Congress than Barack Obama has been.

Enough, though, of elections. Let’s get back to where we began. What will become of Sanders’ considerable base when he crashes and burns?

The current period reminds us, in a bizarre way and in much more dire circumstances, of the early 1960’s. Then as now, an idealistic new generation was awakening to politics. Then as now, in both the nascent New Left and early civil rights movement (both deeply interconnected in the Jim Crow South, where the young Sanders cut his teeth politically) and today after Occupy and Black Lives Matter, something got out of the bottle that will not easily be put back in. We insist above all, where the potential role of our marginal milieu as conscious communists is concerned, that small groups do not shape consciousness, events do. Events for the 1960’s were the Vietnam War, the radicalization of black people after the civil rights movement hit a wall, and the rank-and-file and wildcat upsurge In the U.S. working class. By the late 1960’s, one million young people coming out of the New Left declared for revolution, and many joined groups organizing for it. It did not end well, for reasons beyond our scope here.

For this new generation as well, events there will be, events that will demonstrate the end dead of electoral politics and, in short, of anything except mass struggle in the streets, a struggle which has already begun. There is no end in sight to economic crisis and decline, workers’ wages and pensions and the threadbare social safety net will continue to be cut, the American bourgeoisie is toying with war in at least three major theatres, terrorist attacks will continue and probably increase (and will be used to intimidate the emerging mass movement) and black and brown people, immigrants and Muslims will be again be scapegoated.

Our task, in those circumstances, is to intersect the burnout from Bernie, and contribute to the convergence of a consciously anti-capitalist movement that will say at last: hic Rhodus hic salta! Here is the rose; here we dance.

Norway Terrorist Breivik Was An Ardent Subscriber To Theories Of 'Cultural Marxism'

Based on online posts apparently by Anders Behring Breivik circulated in Norway, the alleged terrorist opposed multiculturalism and Muslim immigrants in Norway. Breivik championed opposition to "Cultural Marxism," a right-wing antisemitic concept developed primarily by William Lind of the US-based Free Congress Foundation, but also the Lyndon LaRouche network.

... The idea is that a small group of Marxist Jews who formed the Frankfurt School set out to destroy Western Culture through a conspiracy to promote multiculturalism and collectivist economic theories. A key "Cultural Marxist" guru William Lind spoke at a Holocaust Denial conference, and worked at Free Congress Fdn. which sponsored a former Nazi collaborator, the late Laszlo Pasztor.

...The trope of Cultural Marxism combines this view of political economy with a narrow view of Christian superiority and an ethnocentric White Nationalism. In both sectors--Christian superiority and ethnocentric White Nationalism--there is a great fear of Muslim immigration. .

Trump's Dance Around the Racism, Violence Drawn to His Campaign Appears to Encourage It


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t1cuTMwzts


It’s a dance that Donald Trump does when the subject of the violence and racism bubble up around his run for the presidency as the 2016 Republican nominee. Call it the Deniability Tango: Trump dances around the problems that come with his supporters and their frequent ugliness, which he officially disavows in certain carefully worded statements, often accompanied by a wink and a nod.

It’s a three-step affair:

First, Trump appears to embrace the racism and/or violent acts committed by his followers and admirers, either by making excuses for the behavior or pretending not to know about their racist reputations, as he demurs, hems and haws.

Second, Trump either briefly disavows the act or issues a brief statement making an official disavowal of the person or behavior in question that briefly mentions why such things are unacceptable.

Third, he reflexively refers to this pro forma disavowal whenever the subject is raised by the press without ever explaining or describing the motives for it.


The sincerity of these disavowals is open to question, but their effectiveness is not: Rather than tamping down the raucous racism and violence at Trump rallies and at white nationalist events praising Trump, the frequency of these incidents has risen, along with the abiding enthusiasm of neo-Nazis, white nationalists, and various far-right extremists for the GOP nominee.

Trump’s efforts to distance himself from the far right, such as they are, in real life appear to have the opposite effect.

The clearest case of this came when white supremacist icon David Duke initially embraced Trump in February, and Trump was asked about it in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper. Instead of answering forthrightly, Trump fumbled:
Well, just so you understand, I don't know anything about David Duke. OK? I don't know anything about what you're even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So, I don't know. I don't know, did he endorse me or what's going on, because, you know, I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about white supremacists.

WHITE NATIONALISTS, NEO-NAZIS, AND “PATRIOTS” COLLABORATE FOR INDIANA EVENT

The Traditionalist Workers Party, which recently made headlines for joining with other neo-Nazis in the failed rally in Sacramento as well as promising to promote Donald Trump from left-wing detractors, is one of the co-sponsors of an Indiana event promising to bring in “Patriots and Constitutional Nationalists.” The event is billed as hosted by The Sons and Daughters of Liberty Radio, a racist mouthpiece for the Midwest militia movement. The Indiana chapters of the Soldiers of Odin, a racialist vigilante group formed to attack Muslim refugees, will also join as organizers of the project. The III%s and the Indiana chapter of American Patriots United, as well as unnamed “local car, motorcycle, and truck clubs” have also added their name to the event.

This is a surprisingly large event for groups such as these, and an open statement from the regional militia movement that they are closely allied with groups that are open about anti-Semitism, Holocaust Denial, and racial nationalism. Heimbach, the founder and leader of the Traditionalist Workers Party, states publicly that he believes there are racial differences in intelligence, that Jews are running a global conspiracy to destroy the “West,” believes that queer people should be executed, and that the Third Reich should have won World War II. For groups like the Patriots that attempt to venerate veterans, this seems like a reasonably broad oversight.

From fringe to mainstream: Conspiracies, baseless accusations and lunacy is the new normal for Republicans


Consider the following:

“Red Eye,” the popular Fox News overnight show, had on as a guest one Mike Cernovich, a Men’s Rights Activist and well-known figure in the “alt-right,” the name with which society has rebranded the far-right collection of racists and white supremacists from which Trump draws a fair amount of his support. Cernovich has trafficked in conspiracy theories and his Twitter feed is a mass of rape apologia and paranoia that the Democratic Party is going to assassinate him.

Cernovich is so terrible that the producers of “Red Eye” felt compelled afterwards to say that they had made a mistake in booking him. But that doesn’t answer the question of how they found him in the first place. It’s simple, really: He swims in the same sewers as the rest of the eager up-and-coming right-wingers at Fox News.


Sean Hannity devoted an episode of his primetime Fox show to “investigating” the background of Khizr Khan. It was Khan’s appearance at the Democratic National Convention, where he spoke about his dead son, an American soldier killed during the occupation of Iraq 12 years ago, and his love of this country and its Constitution, that turned into a crisis for the Trump campaign after the candidate attacked the grieving father and his wife.

Khan’s appearance led to his smearing in the right-wing media as some sort of Muslim Brotherhood sleeper agent who advocates for jihad and wants to see the United States brought under sharia law. The sources of these smears do not have a single fact to support them and even some Republicans are appalled at Hannity for spending an episode of his show giving them a voice.


Hillary Clinton was sued by the parents of two of the victims of the Benghazi attack, including Patricia Smith, the grieving mother who spoke at the Republican National Convention last month, where she accused Clinton of lying to her about the cause of the September 2012 attack and suggested the Democratic nominee should be wearing prison stripes.

After receiving this primetime speaking slot, Smith is now being represented in her lawsuit by Larry Klayman, a prominent birther who has made a career out of hounding Democratic presidents and other party figures with nuisance lawsuits in between marching on the White House to demand Barack Obama resign over his alleged “eligibility fraud.” (Translation: the president wouldn’t show his birth certificate.)

It's not just North America:


How Reclaim Australia hid a ‘terrorist’

If online groups are meaningful – in other words, if people’s racial anxieties expressed online might portend behaviour in the “real world” – then Islamic hate and nationalism is increasing rapidly in this country. It aligns with rising anti-authoritarian movements across the West. Frighteningly, the latent right-wing assassins and terrorists were emboldened this week by an astonishingly reckless comment from Donald Trump. Addressing a rally, the Republican presidential candidate said of his opponent: “Hillary wants to essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick, if she gets to pick her judges – nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.”

Trump said this just weeks after British Labour MP Jo Cox was gunned down in the street by a far-right fanatic, and five years after US congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head by Jared Loughner. Giffords survived, but six others did not.

Trump’s words matter. He speaks as a candidate for the most powerful office in the world, in a country with a terrible history of shooting dead its political leaders. The patriot movement thrives off this rhetoric – rhetoric that reinforces and ennobles hate and political violence.

Back in Australia, the monitoring of both radicalised Islamic kids and their counterparts in the far-right continues. Authorities will be bracing for the next Melbourne patriot rally – the first since Coburg – in two weeks. It will be, promises UPF leader Blair Cottrell, another “public demonstration of force. This force … is absolutely necessary towards achieving our goal of protecting our country. Why? Because if you can’t prove how dangerous you are, you have nothing to barter with. Think about it. All of the legitimate methods – referendums, voting systems, legal avenues – it never gets you anywhere. It’s as if it’s all an illusion.”

NEO-NAZI “HAMMERFEST” GATHERING PLANNED FOR GEORGIA, OCTOBER 1ST

The Hammerfest announcement on Stxrmfrxnt has also named of two guest speakers: “Chester Doles also Matthew Heimbach from Traditionalist Workers Party.”

Of these two names, Heimbach may be the more familiar. Heimbach, currently based in Indiana, is a leader of the Traditionalist Youth Network as well as its party, the Traditionalist Workers Party. Heimbach is a white nationalist who seeks to garner support from those who feel abandoned by traditional conservatism — for Heimbach, the racially-charged populism of the Trump campaign has been a gift and an opportunity.

Matthew Heimbach is frequently cited as one of the most dynamic young leaders of the white nationalist movement in the US, often being compared to David Duke in his earlier years. The White Student Union which Heimbach tried to build while studying at Towson University in Maryland provided a template for occasional other efforts on US campuses, including Patrick Sharp’s 2013 attempt at Georgia State University. Despite his youth — Heimbach was born in 1991 — at this stage Heimbach has a lengthy resume on the white supremacist scene. On one hand, Heimbach is media savvy and attempts to rebrand white nationalist politics as something other than hateful (Heimbach would challenge our use of the term “supremacist”); on the other hand, Heimbach networks and attends events together with members of the Aryan Terror Brigade and the National Socialist Movement.

Heimbach has been busy this year. On March 1st, Heimbach was recorded at a Trump rally in Louisville, KY, yelling at and repeatedly shoving Black protester Shiya Nwanguma. In June, the Traditionalist Workers Party attempted to rally outside the state capitol in Sacramento, CA with support from the Golden State Skinheads (a California white power group) and other white supremacists. While the white supremacists were driven back by protesters, a number of anti-racists were stabbed during the confrontation. (Funds are still needed for medical and legal support for these antifascists, give here.) Heimbach, who was not present at the Sacramento confrontation itself, nonetheless featured prominently in subsequent media coverage, as the go-to person for the Traditionalist Workers Party/”pro-white” view of the events.

The second guest speaker is Chester Doles. Doles is a former Klansman who went on to lead the Georgia unit of the National Alliance, an organization that at one point was the most important neo-Nazi group in the US. (The National Alliance is nowadays in shambles.) In 2003, Doles was arrested for being a felon in possession of firearms — Doles had previously served prison time for assaulting a Black man. Many on the far-Right saw the prosecution of Doles as politically-motivated; Doles eventually pled guilty. He was released in 2008, eventually returning to white power activism. A February 2016 post on the website of the “National Alliance Reform and Restoration Group” — who are trying to pry the remainder of the National Alliance’s assets from its current chairman Will Williams — states: “We understand that [Chester] Doles had briefly joined the Williams Alliance last year but quickly dropped out and is now working with another ‘movement’ group in Georgia.” One recent comment published online under Doles’ name reads: “838… Chester J. Doles.” “838” is alphanumeric code for “H.C.H.” or “Hail Crossed Hammers,” a reference to the insignia of the Hammerskin Nation. This suggests that Doles’ involvement with the Hammerskins in Georgia may go beyond a single speaking appearance.

...A close look at the groups and figures involved with Hammerfest 2016 reveals more than just a white power underground using music to recruit and mobilize. It also highlights the long and violent history of those involved. The white supremacists meeting and coordinating on October 1st should be prevented from furthering expanding their power and capacity for violence. Especially in the context of a newly-energized white power movement, the Hammerskins and similar groups ought to be practically opposed wherever they operate. While their numbers are small, those gathering in Georgia are some of the hardcore “true believers” of the white power movement; they should not be written off as harmless and irrelevant.

We believe that the weekend of October 1-2 is an ideal opportunity for action against white supremacist groups such as the Hammerskins or Traditionalist Workers Party nationally. If you live in a city where such a group exists, consider organizing during this time to expose their efforts. Commit to building anti-racist/anti-fascist infrastructure for the struggles ahead. Also, please circulate this story to those who may be affected by the upcoming white power gathering.

As Hammerfest approaches, Atlanta Antifascist Notes will be one source for updates and reporting. For briefer time-sensitive updates, keep your eyes on twitter.com/afainatl
