Guatemala’s Strange Love Affair with Israel

Strange things are happening in Guatemala.

In February 2025, Guatemalan authorities arrested Yoel Alter, a senior leader of the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish cult Lev Tahor, outside a government childcare facility in Guatemala City.

Alter is wanted in Guatemala and Mexico in connection to human trafficking allegations. He had recently been organizing protests as a direct response to the Guatemala government’s crackdown in November that separated 148 children from their parents within the sect’s compound near Oratorio, Guatemala. The protests sought to challenge the Guatemalan government’s custody of minors rescued during raids that uncovered systemic abuse, including forced marriages, child rape, and malnutrition.

Lev Tahor “Pure Heart” was founded in 1988 in Jerusalem by Rabbi Shlomo Helbrans. The group adheres to an extreme interpretation of Judaism, enforcing strict dietary laws, extended prayer sessions, and requiring women and girls to wear full-body coverings.

The Jewish cult relocated to Guatemala around 2013 after fleeing investigations in other countries, such as Canada and the United States, for a series of sex-related crimes. They established a compound near Oratorio, close to the border with El Salvador. The move was part of their pattern of seeking refuge in countries with less stringent oversight on matters concerning human trafficking.

The broader Jewish communities in these Latin American countries tactically distanced themselves from Lev Tahor and supported recent investigations into the sect, likely as a way to divert attention away from organized Jewry’s long-standing connections to human trafficking.

What could have possibly made Guatemala a spot for the most depraved elements of Jewish society to carry out their heinous crimes? A closer look at its recent history reveals the rise of a sizable evangelical movement—one that has made Guatemala Latin America’s most staunchly pro-Zionist state.

This growth of evangelicalism in Guatemala has been over a century in the making. In 1882, Justo Barrios, a liberal president with anti-Catholic views, invited an American Presbyterian minister to Guatemala to encourage the growth of Protestantism. Later, in the late 1890s and early 1900s, Protestant missionaries from organizations like the Central American Mission, Quakers, Primitive Methodists, and Nazarenes began arriving. Pentecostal missionaries associated with the United and Free Gospel Society joined them in 1916.

Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, founder of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ), perceptively remarked in an interview Christianity Today in 2017 that wherever Pentecostal traditions have spread across the globe, so has Christian Zionism. Research has confirmed Eckstein’s observation, which has found a correlation between the growth of these traditions and support for Israel. “Just as Pentecostals and Charismatics experienced remarkable success spreading their movement around the globe, exuberant expressions of Christian Zionism proliferated alongside these preexisting Pentecostal networks as well,” wrote Joseph Williams, a religious scholar at Rutgers University. This trend toward evangelical confessions held true in Guatemala throughout the 20th century.

After World War II, the Central American nation played a crucial role in the establishment of Israel’s statehood, being one of the first countries to vote in favor of UN Resolution 181 in 1947. This resolution called for the partition of Palestine and the creation of a Jewish state. In 1948, Guatemala became one of 21 countries in the United Nations to recognize the state of Israel.

Guatemala’s support for Israel’s creation in 1948 laid the foundation for deep military collaboration between the two nations. As one of the first nations to recognize Israel, Guatemala positioned itself as a key ally during the Cold War, particularly as Guatemala faced international isolation for its role in suppressing indigenous guerillas during a brutal civil war from 1960 to 1996 —  a conflict that claimed over 200,000 lives.

Under Guatemalan President Carlos Arana Osorio (1970–1974), Israel began supplying arms and counterinsurgency expertise, which intensified after the United States restricted military aid to Guatemala in 1977 over human rights abuses. Israeli advisers gradually introduced tactics modeled on Israel’s own occupation strategies in Palestine. Among these were scorched-earth operations that Guatemalan forces emulated in their campaigns to destroy more than 600 villages.

Israeli influence also extended to military infrastructure, with Guatemalan troops adopting Israeli-designed field camps, communication systems, and weaponry such as Galil assault rifles and Uzi submachine guns. Additionally, Israel’s Nahal program — fusing military training with agricultural settlement — served as a blueprint for Guatemala’s “Beans and Bullets” strategy, aimed at pacifying rural populations through the provision of basic services such as health care, education, and other benefits to Indigenous communities who cooperated with the government, while meting out harsh punishments against communities suspected of supporting guerrillas.

The Israeli-Guatemalan collaboration continued swimmingly under the regime of General Efraín Ríos Montt, who ruled from 1982 to 1983. In addition to being backed by the United States, his government received crucial military support from Israel, including Arava transport planes and armored vehicles, fueling one of the bloodiest chapters in Guatemala’s history.

While Israel helped Guatemala wage a brutal civil war, many Guatemalans sought solace in religion. Evangelical churches provided a sense of community and hope amidst widespread suffering. The Guatemalan earthquake of 1976, which killed over 22,000 people. was another key moment in the spread of evangelicalism in Guatemala. It devastated many communities, and evangelical organizations, particularly from the United States, saw this as an opportunity to provide extensive humanitarian aid and grow their influence. These groups filled gaps left by the government, offering food, shelter, and emotional support. Their efforts gained them significant numbers of converts as they presented both material and spiritual solutions during a time of crisis.

In this process, General Ríos Montt would become Guatemala’s first evangelical Christian president during his brief time in office. His government promoted evangelicalism as part of its agenda, allying with the U.S.-based evangelical groups and figures such as Pat Robertson. Ríos Montt’s government actively supported evangelical churches while marginalizing Catholicism by accusing it of being linked to liberation theology and leftist movements during the Central American country’s civil war. This political backing helped solidify evangelical influence in the country.

Though Ríos Montt’s tenure was brief, evangelicalism endured as a potent force in Guatemalan politics, with later presidents like Jorge Serrano Elías (1990–1993) and Jimmy Morales (2016-2020) openly embracing the faith as a defining feature of their public identities. The latter, who is an evangelical entertainer with a Baptist seminary degree, was particularly zealous about his pro-evangelical credentials and his devotion to the Jewish state.

As Guatemala’s third evangelical president, Morales prioritized Israel since his election in 2015. His first official visit outside of the Americas was Israel itself. “Guatemala has a special relationship with Israel, and we know we can continue to work together in partnership and hand in hand,” Morales said to then-Israeli President Reuven Rivlin in Jerusalem during a diplomatic visit he made to Israel in 2016.

In 2018, the United States broke a major diplomatic taboo by moving its embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem — a move that unraveled seven decades of global consensus, Jerusalem’s status as a contested capital traces back to the aforementioned UN Resolution 181, which designated the city as a corpus separatum under international administration. The plan was rejected by Arab states, leading to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the division of Jerusalem into Israeli-controlled West Jerusalem and Jordanian-held East Jerusalem.

Israel’s capture of East Jerusalem during the 1967 Six-Day War further complicated the city’s status, with Israel asserting sovereignty over the entire municipality—a claim unrecognized by the United Nations and most nations. The international community, including the United States until 2018, maintained embassies in Tel Aviv to avoid influencing the outcome of final-status negotiations.

However, when Donald Trump took the White House in 2016, Israel’s political fortunes took a fortuitous turn. As a public figure with deep connections to organized Jewry that span multiple decades, Trump could be counted on to carry out Israel’s bidding. Moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem was one of Trump’s most notable pro-Israeli gestures.

As both a vassal state of the United States and a loyal friend of Israel, Guatemala would shortly follow Uncle Sam in moving its embassy to Jerusalem. Morales described the move as a continuation of Guatemala’s pro-Zionist legacy, stressing “love, peace, and fraternity” with Israel.

In Guatemala, Israel has a reliable toady. The Guatemalan parliament regularly celebrates Israel’s anniversaries and has established a Guatemala-Israel Parliamentary Friendship League with over 80 deputies. Guatemala and Israel also bolstered trade ties by signing a free trade agreement in March 2024.

As the United States renews its focus on Latin America, its diplomatic posture is increasingly likely to hinge on each country’s stance toward Israel — effectively sorting allies and adversaries along that axis. Being a polity run by and for the benefit of Jews creates such a strange dynamic. For its warm relationship with Israel, Guatemala appears to have received a get-out-of-jail-free card.

It’s an open secret that Mexico has the largest population of illegal aliens in the United States at roughly 5 million per DHS figures — a conservative estimate if we’re being honest. In second place, Guatemala has 750,000 illegal aliens living in the United States. Additionally, there are close to 2 million Hispanics of Guatemalan origin living in the United States.

Like most diasporas from the Global South, Guatemala is largely dependent on remittances. Remittances to Guatemala reached a record $21.5 billion in 2024 — constituting nearly 20 percent of the country’s GDP.

Despite having such a large number of migrants sullying the United States’ venerable soil, Guatemala receives mild criticism from the United States. Contrast that to Colombia, whose president Gustavo Petro has offended the DC foreign policy consensus by criticizing Israel’s genocide in Gaza and cozying up to China. Indeed, Colombia has a sizable illegal alien population of 240,000, but it still trails considerably behind Guatemala’s.

Regardless, at the start of the second Trump administration, Colombia received massive tariff threats and a nasty tongue lashing from the Trump administration. Michael Oren, the former United States ambassador to Israel, praised Trump for his tariff threats against Colombia, saying, “I applaud President Trump’s resolve in confronting Colombia’s openly anti-American government. Let this be a message to the world’s terror-supporting regimes: America is back.”

Remarkably, Oren previously praised Guatemala for its recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital on December 24, 2017. He exclaimed, “Viva Guatemala! It takes courage for a superpower to stand up for justice and recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s eternal capital. But it takes even more —immense guts—for a small nation to do that. People of Guatemala, the people of Israel will never forget your support and bravery.”

One thing is clear: A credible anti-Zionist threat is not coming out of Guatemala anytime soon.

As of 2023, evangelical Christians comprise an estimated 44.2 to 45.6 percent of Guatemala’s population, making evangelicalism the country’s largest religious affiliation—surpassing Catholicism, which now accounts for approximately 42.4 percent. This marks a profound transformation in the nation’s religious landscape, driven in part by vigorous proselytizing and the movement’s resonance during periods of political upheaval and natural disaster. In turn, it has helped establish a lasting pro-Zionist sentiment within the Guatemalan populace.

In the wake of Oct. 7, 2023 attacks, the Jewish state has had to walk a delicate public relations tight rope. The Israel Defense Force’s punitive campaign against the population of Gaza, often resembling an industrial scale child ritual murder act that would make an extremist Hasidic cult blush, has horrified large swatches of the globe.

While Israel enjoys the special privilege of being supported by the world’s pre-imminent superpower in the United States, no country’s super power status is permanent. It is for that reason, as I’ve detailed previously, Israel has courted nations such as India as part of a plan to have backup options in a world where the United States can no longer be counted to be the unipolar power.

In such a multipolar environment, the Jewish state will be looking to recruit all manner of allies big and small. Guatemala, as backwards and geopolitically irrelevant as it may be, will be one of the few nations who will back Israel unconditionally, no matter what skullduggery Israel is involved in.

However, with Javier Milei as President of Argentina, Guatemala could have stiff competition in being Israel’s most loyal house slave in the Spanish-speaking world.

Not exactly something to be proud of.

The Boundless Power of Black Privilege: It Rescues Rapists, Elevates Incompetents and Is Building the Blacklash

Here’s a fascinating new concept: the one-off rape. It’s a rape committed in a moment of aberration by a special kind of man who is otherwise entirely respectable and worthy. Obviously, then, the man doesn’t need to be seriously punished or censured for the rape, because he has never raped before and he’s never going to rape again. And how do we know that? Well, because it’s a one-off rape. One-off, see?

Trained in Nigeria

Now, you’ll no doubt be wondering what kind of man gets to commit a one-off rape. Not a man like me, that’s for sure. And not men like the vast majority of those who read the Occidental Observer and Unz Review. I’m not special and they’re not special. If I or one of them ever commit a single rape, it will merit harsh punishment and life-long labelling as “rapist.” No, the special kind of man who gets to commit a one-off rape is described here:

Doctor not struck off by panel over ‘one-off’ rape

A doctor found by a tribunal to have raped a young woman at his home avoided being struck off over what the panel described as a “one-off” attack. Dr Aloaye Foy-Yamah, then a consultant at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, instead had his medical licence suspended for 12 months for attacking the woman.

Police investigated but did not charge Dr Foy-Yamah, but the Medical Tribunal Practitioners Service (MPTS) concluded on the balance of probabilities that he had raped the woman — which he denies. The panel, which emphasised the incident had not taken place at work, has been accused of “victim-blaming” and failing to properly assess Dr Foy-Yamah’s risk given that it found he had raped someone. […] The General Medical Council (GMC), which regulates the register of doctors licensed to practice in the UK, had asked an independent panel run by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) to permanently erase Dr Foy-Yamah’s licence.

However the panel stopped short, stating that Dr Foy-Yamah had not “abused his position of trust as a doctor” because the victim was not a patient, and noted a series of glowing testimonials from colleagues. The legally qualified chair of the panel, Angus Macpherson, wrote: “The Tribunal considered that this was a one-off event in Dr Foy-Yamah’s personal life. It did not involve patient safety concerns. The Tribunal has found it will not be repeated.” (“Doctor not struck off by panel over ‘one-off’ rape,” BBC News, 29th March 2025)

You need to know only one thing to understand why the tribunal was so lenient with Dr Aloaye Foy-Yamah, despite finding that he had in fact committed rape. The tribunal was lenient because Dr Foy-Yamah is Black. The BBC doesn’t reveal that he “trained at the University of Benin in Nigeria in 1995 before moving to the UK.” This move means that he now benefits from Black privilege, the systemic bias in favor of Blacks that exists across the West.

Black privilege is a sub-set of non-White privilege, which has protected rapists in a much worse way for a much longer time in towns like Rotherham. Pakistani Muslim rape-gangs have been preying on White girls there for decades with the complicity — and sometimes active assistance — of the so-called Labour party, which was founded to champion the White working-class but now works tirelessly to harm the White working-class. However, here’s a curious fact about Labour. Although it loudly professes to be an anti-racist and anti-sexist party, its leaders have always, without exception, been stale pale males, from Keir Hardie in 1906 to Keir Starmer in 2025.

Gloriously non-White leaders

But Labour’s supposed political rivals, the Conservative party, have had four female leaders and two gloriously non-White leaders. But that isn’t six un-pale-stale-male leaders in total, because the current leader is both Black and female. She’s the Nigerian Kemi Badenoch and succeeded the Indian Rishi Sunak. When Sunak became prime minister in 2022, some leftists and cuckservatives celebrated the fact that four regions of the British Isles had had non-White leaders in the twenty-first century. There was the Indian Rishi Sunak in England, the Pakistani Humza Yousuf in Scotland, the Indian Leo Varadkar in Ireland, and the Black Vaughan Gething in Wales.

Duds, not dynamos: the non-White leaders celebrated by leftists and cuckservatives

What a wonderful time for the British Isles! That’s what some leftists and cuckservatives said. But they’ve now gone quiet about the Fantastic Four, because all of those non-White leaders have proved to be duds, not dynamos. Most glaringly of all, Sunak steered the Conservative party to its worst ever election defeat in 2024. Now the Tories are trying again with another non-White, Kemi Badenoch, who was widely hailed as a Black reincarnation of Margaret Thatcher, as an anti-woke dynamo who would ram home the devastating message that Labour are the real racists. But alas for the Tories, Badenoch is also proving to be a dud, not a dynamo. It’s becoming increasingly apparent that she too has benefited from Black privilege. It unjustly rescued a rape-accused Nigerian called Aloaye Foy-Yamah and it’s unfairly elevated an incompetent Nigerian called Olukemi Adegoke.

Bending the knee to Jewish power

That was Kemi Badenoch’s maiden name, before she married a rich White banker and began the essential work to become Tory leader and prime minister of Britain. And what is that essential work? Is it being highly competent and boundlessly energetic in one’s jobs both before and after entering politics? No, not at all. If the very credible rumors are true, Badenoch has been lazy and useless in every job she’s ever had, from the few months she spent as “Digital Director” at the Spectator to her role as Minister for Women and Equalities in the Conservative government. No, the essential work for any ambitious politician in Britain consists not of being competent and energetic, but of strenuously sucking up to Jews and endlessly adulating Israel.

Bending the knee at Holocaust Central: Kemi Badenoch at Yad Vashem in 2023

In short, to succeed in British politics you have to perform the goy-grovel and prove that you’ll be a devoted shabbos goy or shabbos shiksa. And Badenoch has certainly proved herself to be a devoted shabbos shiksa. In 2023, for example, she bent the knee at Yad Vashem, the central shrine of Holocaustianity in Israel. Throughout the Gaza war, she has firmly backed Israel’s massacre-machine. So has the Labour prime minister Keir Starmer, of course. He too knew that he’d never get to the top without proving himself as a shabbos goy. That’s why he’s married to a Jew and has always firmly backed Israel. Robert Jenrick, Kemi Badenoch’s chief rival in the Tory leadership election, is also married to a Jew. And Jenrick’s Semito-sycophancy has soared even beyond Badenoch’s. He is funded by the Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer and has said that “the Star of David should be displayed at every point of entry to the UK to show” that “we stand with Israel.”

Diversity Hire vs Israel Cuck: Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick competing to be Tory leader

But Jenrick is a stale pale male, not a vibrant Black female like Badenoch. He doesn’t have Black privilege and he lost the final round of the leadership election to Badenoch. But he’s not given up hope of succeeding her, because he thinks that Badenoch’s incompetence and laziness will sooner or later outweigh her Black privilege. That’s when she’ll be removed and Jenrick can take over as chief Tory shabbos-goy. Working towards that happy day, he’s been very active on social media and in parliament. He’s trying to show that, unlike her, he works hard and is competent. But the demonic crime-thinker Dominic Cummings thinks that the Tories will not learn any lessons from useless Black Kemi Badenoch. He’s predicted that when she’s forced out as leader, they’ll replace her with useless Black James Cleverly, whom Cummings describes as an “NPC extraordinaire.” This is what Cummings has said about Badenoch at his Substack:

Kemi is lazy, brittle and delusional. In her previous jobs she was useless but learned to blame others. She doesn’t have any of the things needed for a serious leader. The people who like her are a) people who’ve swallowed Insider spin or b) a subset of Insider characters whose preferences and tastes are very far from the median voter. From all parts of the ideological spectrum I hear identical lines: ‘She won’t listen to anybody, she picks fights with everybody, she meets a businessman who made a fortune in X then explains why they’re wrong about X, she’s lazy and won’t read, she sits in her office playing computer games on her iPad, she sees stuff on Twitter and blurts it out, I can’t see her developing in the job’. Most spads [special political advisors] and donors who created her did not work on her leadership contest because they got so disillusioned. People inside her inner circle are already telling friends ‘I can’t see this working’. (“TSP #5: What comes in 2025-6 as both parties & Whitehall fail? What can be done?,” Dominic Cummings Substack, as updated from 13th February 2025 [TSP = The Start-Up Party, which is Cummings’ name for a proposed new party to replace the Conservatives and Labour])

Cummings is always careful not to give his enemies grounds to call him “racist,” so he doesn’t discuss how someone as useless as Badenoch became Tory leader. That is, he doesn’t discuss Black privilege or Semito-sycophancy. And when he describes a shadowy figure called Henry Newman as a “Kemi handler” who works on behalf of translunacy, he doesn’t note that Newman is Jewish. But Cummings still delivers a devastating indictment of the “Black Thatcher,” as he mockingly calls her. Badenoch isn’t the Black Thatcher — she’s the British Barack. Like Barack Obama, she’s an over-promoted Black narcissist and intellectual nullity. When Obama became president, it was the apotheosis of AA in the USA, of Affirmative Action in America. If Badenoch ever becomes prime minister, it will be the apotheosis of AA in the Yoo-Kay. I don’t think she will become prime minister, but she’s certainly fulfilled all the stereotypes of the Black diversity hire, from laziness and lateness to the way her work was done for her by a White colleague.

High-testosterone and high-narcissism: useless Black Kemi Badenoch, current leader of the Conservative party (image from Wikipedia)

Or so the rumors run. And those rumors are getting louder all the time. It seems as though she won’t last much longer as Tory leader and one anonymous insider has already proclaimed that “Badenoch must go,” arguing that  the “hapless Conservative leader is consigning the party to complete irrelevance.” Nevertheless, Kemi Badenoch is doing a good job at one thing. It’s the same thing as Sunak, Yousuf, Varadkar and Gething were good at: proving that non-White leaders are bad for the native Whites of the British Isles. As another of her disillusioned colleagues has said of Badenoch: “All the things we thought she’d be good at, she’s not. And all the things we thought she’d be bad at, she is.” If Black James Cleverly replaces Black Kemi Badenoch as Tory leader, we can confidently expect that he will do the same good job at being useless and helping to build the Blacklash, namely, the growing White revolt against the worship of Blacks and other non-Whites.

Black shabbos goy James Cleverly, “NPC extraordinaire,” meets Jewish crook Volodymyr Zelensky

And what about the stale pale male Robert Jenrick? Well, if he succeeds either Badenoch or Cleverly, his Semito-sycophancy will further expose Jewish control of British politics. At Neo-Krat, Colin Liddell has compared Jenrick to the French president Emmanuel Macron, who has long been rumored to be gay, like Blair and Obama before him, and whose wife is much older than he is. Wikipedia notes that Jenrick’s wife, Michal Berkner, “is nine years older than [him], and is the grandchild of Holocaust survivors. She is an Israeli-born and US-educated corporate lawyer who practises mainly in London. Together, they have three daughters, whom they are bringing up in the Jewish faith.” As Liddell himself sardonically concludes: “Nice to know that Jewish concerns will have a prominent place at the breakfast table should Mr Jenrick proceed further in his career!”

Liddell is right: it is nice to know that. And it will be even nicer if Jenrick topples Badenoch and she responds by accusing the Tory party of racism. She would look ridiculous to do that after all her anti-woke posturing, but her narcissistic rage may prove stronger than her reason. Her Black privilege has taken her to the top of the Tory party and she will be very angry when her Black pathologies force her White colleagues to depose her.

The Lesser of Two Evils: Responding to Joel Davis and Keith Woods

1559 Words

Before a hot war begins, when the bullets start flying and the bombs start exploding, political warfare rages. We witness political warfare these days almost every time politicians open their mouths. Before political warfare, however, we have cultural warfare, which is where metapolitics becomes important. This kind of warfare consists of various historical, ideological, or religious narratives which shape the worldview of ordinary (read: non-political) people. These narratives compete to the point where politicians become champions for the dominant narratives of the people who elect them. And if such narratives become anti-White in nature, so be it. In fact, anti-White politics have become the norm among most non-White politicians in America these days (as well among quite a few White ones).

My job as a pro-White dissident writer is to frame or re-frame narratives which will assist ordinary Whites in combating such anti-White narratives. Metapolitics, basically. In metapolitics it is not necessary to surpass or deny a narrative. It is necessary only to match it with a counter-narrative. Victory in such conflicts depends as much upon the spirit of the interlocuters as it does on logic, evidence, and clarity. A side could be dead wrong in the face of the facts, but if they possess greater spirit than their opponents, then they will have greater influence in steering the dominant culture into the future. This is what we see with narratives that favor both Black and Jewish history.

I was reminded of this while reading about the recent debate between Joel Davis and Keith Woods. Davis, an Australian nationalist, finds that rehabilitating Adolf Hitler and National Socialism is crucial for today’s White Nationalism, while Woods, who is from Ireland, feels that the various stripes of White Nationalism do not need either to thrive. It was a fascinating and civil metapolitical exchange, and it greatly benefited the Right. In effect, the men differ on how to counter the prevailing Jewish narrative which claims that A) Hitler and the Nazis were a uniquely odious evil, and B) anyone who professes beliefs even remotely close to Hitler’s is potentially genocidal and should be suppressed.

In basic terms, Davis attempts to surpass the Jewish narrative with a unabashedly pro-Nazi one, while Woods attempts to go around it by not emphasizing Nazism at all. Both sides of the debate possess profound elements of truth and deserve respect from the Dissident Right. Yet, I find both sides a bit wanting. I also think that both men are working too hard, thereby requiring their followers to work too hard as well. For example, ascribing to Davis’ position 85 years after the fall of Nazism would require a lot of reading and documentary viewing as well as the ability to discern good sources from bad. By the same token, ascribing to Woods’ position would require some fairly deft mental gymnastics to articulate a rightist position that does not evoke the Nazis in the minds of a disinterested audience. The bar for entry here is a little too high.

There is a third way, however, one that combines the strengths of both sides of the debate and, in its simplicity and directness, promises the substantial metapolitical victory that has been eluding White people since the end of World War II.

But first, why are both sides wanting? Because Davis’s approach entails too much risk to be successful, and Woods’ approach ultimately leaves the Jewish narrative uncontested. Since in metapolitics truth often plays second fiddle to spirit, it doesn’t really matter how correct either side is, how well-researched or watertight their arguments are, or how persuasive their advocates are. What matters is how well either side can galvanize the spirit—or enthusiasm—of their followers. Unfortunately, neither Davis nor Woods make the most of Rightist spirit. Anyone goosestepping in Davis’ pro-Nazi direction would have to wade into the teeth of the globalist Left, which means giving up on the idea of having a career and children, and accepting a life of constant struggle and danger. For ordinary people, this is a spirit killer. On the other hand, side-stepping along with Woods offers no defense to the Nazi/genocide charge coming from the proponents of the uncontested Jewish narrative. By attempting to go around the narrative rather than face it head on, Woods appears to tacitly concede the truth behind it. He can invoke Irish or Slavic nationalists all he likes, but in the eyes of a disinterested audience, this will come across as a bit of a dodge. This is also a spirit killer.

While neither approach is without merit, each gets us closer to our ultimate goal of White ethnostates only by baby steps—steps which may or may not keep up with the vagaries of history.

The third way I’m promoting entails meeting—but not defeating—the Jewish metapolitical Nazi narrative. This has the advantage of being less risky than Davis’ approach yet more direct than Woods’. It’s also easier to swallow than either counter-narrative, and no less true. Basically, we need to look at Nazism as a defensive wartime ideology, which was preferrable to its alternative: Bolshevism. At its worst, it was evil, sure. But it was the lesser of two evils.

This is it. This is all one needs to rouse the spirit of the Right and stem the odious tide of the Left. For one, it widens the tent to include both Davis and Woods. People in both camps can agree that the swastika, for all its merits and demerits, was morally superior to and less destructive than the hammer and sickle. This history is undeniable. Secondly, by keeping the reasoning so basic and simple, most White people will not need to read lengthy essays or watch obscure documentaries to climb on board. All they need to know is that the Bolsheviks killed more people than the Nazis did, and for less reason. The Nazis at least had the decency to wait until England and France had declared war on them before kicking their atrocities into high gear. The Soviets, on the other hand, had no such qualms and put to death tens of millions between 1924 and 1939, when they were at war with no one. We should also note that England and France had been egged on the entire time by US president Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who had a clear anti-Nazi bias. How do we know this? Because the Allies had declared war on Germany for invading Poland, but not on the Soviet Union, which had done the exact same thing. Again, very simple. If the Allies were really on the side of good in 1939, why didn’t they attack the Soviets who had over an order of magnitude more deaths on their heads than the Nazis did? It’s a fair question, and one that the defenders of the prevailing narrative would have a hard time answering without resorting to blatant Jewish chauvinism.

We should also remember this passage from Hitler’s Reichstag speech of January 1939, as channeled through notorious Hitler hater William Shirer in his Rise and Fall of the Third Reich:

If the international Jewish financiers . . . should again succeed in plunging the nations into a world war, the result will be . . . the annihilation of the Jewish race throughout Europe.

See that? Hitler was actually being comparatively nice here by warning the Jews what would happen to them if they instigated another world war (which they did, they totally did). Did Stalin offer such consideration before murdering 15 million in the Holodomor and untold millions more in the Great Terror and the Gulag Archipelago during the 1920s and 1930s? Of course not. Hence the Nazis were the lesser of two evils. Does this seem like a weaker claim than what either Joel Davis or Keith Woods is offering? That’s because it is, and that is a good thing. I call it the Weak Claim Paradox.

There’s another reason for this as well. I personally am not a Nazi. However, gun to head, if I had to choose sides during Ragnarök, I would plop for the Nazis over the Bolsheviks. Why? Because as a White, straight, conservative male who is not consumed with guilt and self-hatred, the Nazis are much less likely to shoot me. This is an excellent reason. And given how prone the disproportionately Jewish Soviets were to shooting White people, Whites today should realize that Jews were not the only ones who suffered during the 20th century—nor were they absent among the people inflicting the suffering. In fact, it could be argued that they did more of the latter than the former.

None of this means that Joel Davis or Keith Woods should change their beliefs. Davis should continue praising the Nazis, and Woods should continue eschewing them. There is truth on both sides, and it is good they balance themselves out in pro-White circles. However, it couldn’t hurt if both men and their followers were to employ the Weak Claim Paradox from time to time when reaching out to normies. Believe what you want about the Nazis, but they were and still are objectively better than the alternative. And what we’re getting today with unfettered globalism, immigration, crime, and degeneracy is the alternative.

And if anyone hits back with the Nazi smear, simply respond, “At least we’re not Bolsheviks. They were worse.”

Tuukka Kuru interviews Dr. Tom Sunic

  1. Greetings, Tom! How are you and your family doing?

We are exercising the art of psychic survival amidst our troubled times. Having survived the fraud of communism, there is no reason we cannot survive the deception of liberalism.

  1. You have actively followed Trump’s second term and carefully assessed its impact on global politics. Was Trump’s re-election just an isolated event, or a sign of a larger cultural shift?

With or without Trump, the cultural-political shift was already in motion long before Trump’s arrival at the White House. President Trump’s contribution lies in his unintentional effort to preserve the Liberal System through illiberal policies that challenge the international order established by the United States and the Soviet Union in 1945. Though few are willing to acknowledge it, the liberal capitalist system has exhausted its potential and has become dysfunctional. Trump’s protectionist measures align with what sociologists call the paradox of unintended consequences, where actions yield unexpected and often contrary results.

  1. The rift between the United States and the EU is a situation that nationalists did not foresee. How do you see this rift changes the EU’s ideology in the near future? Will the European Union become a more authoritarian actor?

The European Union is not, has never been, and will never be a political actor. It was designed solely as a monetary transfer mechanism and a tariff-free zone. Its existence owes much to American post-World War II influence in Europe, embodied by figures like Maurice Schumann and Jean Monnet. The EU’s original purpose was twofold: to serve as a bulwark against the Soviet Union and to prevent Germany from emerging as a unifying force for other European nations. This presents an intriguing paradox where President Trump deserves recognition—he correctly sees that propping up this fragile, artificial construct is no longer worth the trouble. Despite the witch hunts against free thinkers, orchestrated or tolerated by zealous EU commissioners and local prosecutors in member states, the dream to transform the EU into an authoritarian surveillance state remains unfeasible. There is no such thing as a ”European nation,” just as there are no true ”European nationalists.” Too many dissenting voices fracture the Brussels-based oligarchy, while rifts persist among the more than thirty nationalist parties and movements across Europe—often at odds with one another. The EU’s engagement in Ukraine exemplifies this discord, revealing divisions both among Brussels elites and between nationalists in individual member states.

  1. The reduction of the United States’ military presence and the ongoing war in Ukraine have increased the need for Europe’s independent defense. However, the rearmament of many European states has proven to be extremely challenging. Could Europe ever become a credible military superpower?

Europe has never been a credible, unified military power. This follows up on your earlier questions and my previous response. Let’s abandon the self-deluding myth of a common European homeland. For over three millennia, Europeans have waged civil wars —from the mythical  Trojan War to the thirty years-long Peloponnesian War, from the Thirty Years’ War in the 17th-century to the catastrophic thirty year stretch from the First to the Second World War. Name a single European nation-state that hasn’t clashed with its neighbor. Take Finland, locked historically in recurring struggles with Russia, or the brutal recent conflict between Serbs and Croats. Today, we see Russia and Ukraine—two European nations—tearing each other apart. It’s time we stop fooling ourselves with the notion of “common European homeland”.

  1. International cooperation has always been a tough pill for nationalist movements to swallow. How should European states organize themselves – as a centralized “Fortress Europe” or as independent nation-states with minimal interaction with each other?

With over 40 million non-Europeans residing in the EU, the notion of a “Fortress Europe” sounds bizarre. Furthermore, the era of the nation-state is over, as European nationalists across the board have consistently demonstrated a drive  for self-destruction. What is needed now is a revival of the concept of empire, or the Reich. In hindsight, the Holy Roman Empire (often referred to as the Reich) and the Habsburg Empire appear to have possessed greater durability—and thus legitimacy—than the current EU construct. A case could be made for resurrecting the decentralized model of the Holy Roman Empire, which stood in stark contrast to the centralized, proto-Jacobin structure of France or the sprawling overseas empire of Britain. Today, the British and French are grappling with ugly consequences of their earlier globalist and messianic ambitions, which uprooted their societies in pursuit of multiracial  and universalist goals.

  1. You wrote the book Homo Americanus, in which you sharply analyze the American psyche. Are the European and American ways of understanding the world fundamentally irreconcilable? What are the biggest differences between these worldviews?

Homo americanus emerged as the American mirror image of  the Soviet Homo sovieticus. Both sprang from the same ideological root: an egalitarian, progress-driven vision of the glorious future. Yet, by the late 1980s, Homo sovieticus disappeared precisely because its twin brother, Homo americanus, proved to be more adept at realizing those same Soviet communist principles in America and Western Europe. Over the past half-century, utopian ideals, such as multiculturalism, DEI, wokeness contained the messages already well tested in former communist Eastern Europe and Russia, where they had yielded catastrophic results. President Trump recognizes that these communistic policies, championed by Homo americanus, threaten to hasten America’s decline. This awareness drives his shifting course: he rejects these liberal, quasi-communist agendas while simultaneously trying to preserve the broader Liberal System.

  1. The war in Ukraine has been ongoing for over three years, with hundreds of thousands of men fallen on both sides of the front. A war between two states with very low fertility rates is a historical anomaly. How do you think these warring nations will recover after a potential peace?

The origins of the war Russian-Ukrainian war remain underexplored in the Western mainstream media. The role of U.S. neoconservatives in the former Obama and Biden administrations deserves scrutiny, particularly their interest in leveraging Ukraine as a strategic foothold to undermine the Russian Federation. Even if a peace treaty between Russia and Ukraine were signed tomorrow, the conflict’s aftermath would be far from resolved. Deep-seated resentments between the two sides will prove challenging to mend, ensuring a lingering bitterness.

  1. Currently, more children are annually born in Nigeria alone than in all of Europe combined. How do you think Europe’s fertility rates will develop in the future – will the current era of low fertility be a historical misstep, or become a permanent state? Is the racial extinction of Europeans a real threat?

Since 1945, Europe has embraced the politics of multiracialism, often cloaked under the euphemism of multiculturalism. One of the liberal-communist strategies to subdue and pacify European populations was the importation of cheap labor from Africa and Asia. This policy has given rise to a consumerist mindset of  ”dictatorship of well-being”—a misguided belief among many Europeans that history can have its conclusion, and that by refusing to identify an external enemy, perpetual peace will automatically  emerge. This flawed, unpolitical notion of politics will have dire consequences for all Europeans.

  1. The worldviews of young men and women have sharply diverged — surveys in Finland, for example, show that the so-called “woke” phenomenon is highly genderized, with its values rarely gaining support among young men. What do you think is causing this gender divide, where did it originate, and how could these increasingly estranged young men and women be brought back together?

The woke phenomenon and the rise of academic self-censorship align fully with my earlier statements and my numerous writings on the communist roots of transgenderism, multiracialism, and their various crypto-communist derivatives we are observing now in Europe. The much-touted mystique of liberalism and democracy is unraveling because it defies the laws of nature. The modern Liberal System built on freedom and nation-suppressing edicts is nearing its collapse. Just as the communist experiment, in order to survive, morphed into its liberal Double, this very same liberal ”Double” is now facing its own demise.

  1. The theme of our upcoming conference is “The Rising Tide of Color.” Last time, you gave an interesting speech about the coercive measures applied by the liberal system. What will be the topic of your upcoming presentation?

The upcoming conference takes its title from Lothrop Stoddard’s book. Likewise, a century ago, German historian Oswald Spengler also foresaw ”the revolution of the colored people” (Die Revolution der Farbigen). In my presentation, I will survey  the process of racial decline in ancient Greece and Rome, with a focus on the hereditary curse among some mythical and historical figures. As modern behavioral geneticists have argued, addressing future challenges requires integrating the social sciences with the natural sciences.

To burn or not to burn, Part 3: Reflections on Ireland’s refugee lunacy

Only two foreigner-related burnings in the last six months, two buildings destroyed by masked men with hand tools, the end of a Brother War and a battle that never happened.

Some good news: Two refugee centres have been stopped, without the need to burn them.

In Athlone, the 1,000-man camp caused repeated marches. Even local government politicians got the Council to take legal action. The court has ruled that the development is illegal, and it seems it will be closed, though this is quite possibly just a ruse. There are a few dozen refugees in the camp already.

While the court case was ongoing, there were repeated protest marches through the town to the camp. It is possible, that if there were no marches, the court would have quietly decided that the refugee camp was perfectly legal. Even the most peaceful crowd  in the world is a statement of power, and a warning to the judge: We are many, you are few!

Once, with only a few hundred people, they got around the police lines. A few young lads got into the camp itself and ran around for few minutes roaring peaceful invitations to the refugees to remigrate themselves as soon as possible.

The refugees described themselves as terrified by this. They also complain that in local shops, the staff tell them: You’re not from around here. Get the fuck out of the shop! They complain that the locals “think we are not human beings”. It seems like the three decades of multicultural propaganda we’ve had here is starting to wear off…

The second refugee centre to be stopped was in Schull, County Cork. After “long discussions” between the owners of a proposed refugee hotel and various people including local independent TD Michael Collins, the owners decided not to bother with the refugees after all. As simple as that!

It seems that the best and simplest way to stop a refugee camp popping up in your area is to have long, repeated eyeball-to-eyeball discussions with whoever has the contract for the refugees. They will probably not want to have those conversations with you, so you will have to find creative ways to enable the conversations.

The construction of many, many, many other refugee camps is continuing, despite mostly peaceful protests. Thornton Hall and Coolock in north Dublin, Clonmel and four other camps in County Tipperary and Ballina and Knock in Mayo, to list just a few. In preparation for our November election, many refugee camp projects were paused, so as to reduce the impact on the election. Now the election is over, they have resumed construction.

It seems that the pace of mass immigration has increased.

The official Catholic Church here has promoted mass migration. But the Trad Catholics are stirring. The tiny pilgrimage village of Knock is due to be enriched by hundreds of refugees. There is not as much money in Marian apparitions as there used to be, and some pilgrim hotel owners want to pivot to the billion euro refugee business. A crowd of a hundred gathered across the road from the Basilica. Speakers criticised the priest at the Basilica for preaching a nonsense sermon saying we must welcome the — obviously fake — refugees.

It must be embarrassing for the priest at Ireland’s top Marian shrine to be publicly ridiculed outside his own church by elected Kildare town councillor, Tom McDonnell.

After the speeches, the crowd walked through the village to the refugee hotel, reciting prayers. Four men carried a table with a small statue of Mary.  The Gardai were there, but they kept a very long way from us. Definitely the most restrained Garda presence on a Remigration protest. Banners with pictures of Mary, Jesus and some saint killing a dragon added beauty and drama.

Two golden brown-skinned people were in our group, and clearly enjoyed the Remigration message. At a guess, they were St Thomas Christians from Kerala, India. Anecdotally, it seems that Kerala Christians are much more honest and less violent than other Indian/Pakistani immigrants to Ireland. When the time comes to deport their Hindu and Muslim compatriots, the men from Kerala will be happy to help us…

In Belfast, Irish and British ethno-nationalists held a small, mostly peaceful Remigration demo (23.3.25). There was a pro-migration counter demo. This is the second time in a year that the Irish tricolour and the British union jack have been carried in brotherly harmony at Remigration events in Ulster. The Catholic/Protestant split in Ireland has been used to manipulate us for four centuries. The presence of the two flags in peaceful cooperation in the Great Remigration project is a sign that this particular Brother war is over.  The MSM were very careful not to mention that this protest took place.

The non-Battle of Ballaghdereen.

There was a complaint (1.11.24) made by an ethnic Irish teenage boy that he had been raped by some foreign males. The police are supposedly looking for the men, but won’t release descriptions, except to say that the rapists were “children”, not refugees and were here legally. Sounds like a UK-based Pakistani rape gang on their “Rape a Leprechaun” Emerald Isle tour, but that’s just a educated guess, not a stereotype or misinformation..

This would just be another sad story, soon to be forgotten, except for one detail: The ethnic Irish boy who was raped, was also an ethnic Irish Traveller. Travellers have a reputation for fierce fighting and long running blood feuds.

There was a huge peaceful demonstration in the small town. Candles, prayers, calls for peace and safety. Councillor Michael Frain addressed the crowd and condemned a Remigration activist present for stirring up hate around the country. Unkind commentators posted photos, supposedly of Frain, showing him as possessor of a huge curved nose and alleging he has some Jewish ancestry.

The next day, there was a smaller peaceful demo in the town. Only fifty or sixty. All completely masked and carrying various heavy hand tools. They peacefully did serious damage to one house and did minor damage to another house.

The local Gardai prudently decided to wait until the men had left before going to investigate the damage. To arrest fifty Travellers, you will need a minimum of a hundred cops, and it would take a long time to get a hundred cops to Ballaghdereen. Much simpler just to wait until the Travellers have made their point and left.

This is hugely symbolic. This is the Gardai surrendering to Remigration protestors. If we outnumber the available Garda ten to one, we all have masks on and stout sticks and tools in our hands, give the impression that we are not to be trifled with and hint that we have some Traveller genetics … they won’t come near us.

They used the riot squad in Newtown Mount Kennedy and elsewhere. But they knew the protest was coming, they knew they were facing unarmed women and children and they had time to send the riot squad down.  The masked protest in Ballaghdereeen was totally unannounced and it was “men only”.

A few weeks later, an empty pub in Ballaghdereen went on fire. Badly damaged. If it is connected to the refugee or the Perfectly Legal Pakistani teen rapist business, nobody is saying anything. Perhaps it’s just good old “Jewish lightning” — insurance fraud?

Irish Travellers were nicer, back in the day. Sure, they might steal a chicken or take some quality tools from the shed you foolishly left unlocked  or seduce the wife that you foolishly left unsupervised. But they could sing and dance, they had lovely caravans, great style, worked with horses and made and fixed tin pots. That’s why we used to have the lovely word “tinkers”. They worked the harvests. They were useful, and not particularly violent or dangerous. That was then.

Then modernisation, the welfare state, and drugs and TV. Now they are much more violent, heavily into fraud, drugs and intimidation. There were even a few ethnic Irish traveller lads convicted of keeping homeless people as slaves in England! They do dirty jobs for rich men: evictions, property development scams, security and they even are making money from the billion euro refugee accommodation business.

It’s possible the Rape of Ballaghdereen will be the start of a blood feud between Irish Travellers and Pakistanis. If this happens, this will be good for the Travellers, good for the rest of us Irish and even good for the Pakistanis. Traveller men will stop committing suicide and overdosing: you can’t be at that when there’s a blood feud going on. They’ll stop behaving badly to us Irish and start behaving badly to the Pakistanis. The Pakistanis will get bored of Traveller harassment and peacefully remigrate back to the sunshine and mangoes of dear old Pakistan.

Readers who want comedy updates on Ireland-UK migration madness should check out Derek Domino‘s online channel. Some accuse him of Freemason membership, based on his display of the number 33 at the start of his videos, but this is flimsy evidence to hang the guy. He tells us how grim things are, which might be construed as a black pill. But he also makes fun of our Naked Emperors, shows how easy Remigration is and inspires us to take action appropriate to our station in life. His skit “Remigration, Irish style” is top class comedy

“Adolescence”: Was the Manosphere Really to Blame?

The Netflix series Adolescence, where a White teenager murders a White girl, has resulted in a great deal of commentary, including Tobias Langdon’s TOO article. Until reading it, I had no idea that the media in UK reacted that way and didn’t know that the story was inspired by a real incident with a non-White teenager murdering a White girl. The media doing what it always does: reverse the races when necessary to blame Whites.
The usual reaction is to blame 13-year-old Jamie’s rage on the manosphere, as in this Guardian article:
Jamie’s plight becomes a poignant study of the nightmarish influence of the so-called manosphere – that pernicious online world of “red pills”, “truth groups” and the 80-20 rule (which posits that 80% of women are attracted to 20% of men). It’s a shadowy sphere populated by alphas, “incels”, MRAs (men’s rights activists) and PUAs (pickup artists), whose fragile egos turn into entitled fury. From mocking emojis on Instagram to the dark web and deepfakes, it’s another country to anyone over 40. No wonder parents are, as Bascombe’s son points out, “blundering around, not getting it”.
A NYTimes article also emphasized the internet.

Initially the pair struggled to work out a motivation for the show’s main character, Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), until an assistant suggested the pair research the culture of incels, men who see themselves as involuntarily celibate and rail against women online.

Thorne said he bought a burner phone and set up new social media accounts on it, then spent six months “diving into very dark holes” of incel content online. It made him realize, he said, that the grim arithmetic of the incel worldview — the belief that 80 percent of women are attracted to just 20 percent of men, so boys must manipulate girls if they want to find sexual partners — could also seem “incredibly attractive” to many young men.

The 80-20 split is real as anyone who has ever dated realizes (the universal principle of female hypergamy), and this means that many men are frustrated. This is particularly true in polygynous cultures where high-status men are able to have multiple wives. A great strength of Western cultures is that monogamy dampens male competition for females, but there are certainly vestiges of it in the dating arena where wealthy, high-status men have no difficulty dating attractive, desirable women. As usual, the left denies reality in favor of imagining a world where all are equal — where individual differences like intelligence, physical attractiveness, social status, etc. are irrelevant.

But what the Times doesn’t say in that article is that the girl called Jamie an incel on social media and said he would always be an incel. It was extremely cruel for the girl to call him an incel in a forum where all his schoolmates would see it. No teenager wants to hear that at an age when social status is everything,  especially from a girl. So it was understandable that he was angry. The girl was the bully, Jamie the victim.
Imagine if Jamie had been cast as Black. If a Black teenager was bullied by a White girl, the media would either ignore the whole thing (likely—so it would never be cast that way) or assume that the killing was justified.
Another Times article, “Tate-pilled boys are a problem for schools,” notes:
You know by the end of the first episode that Jamie is guilty; the police have video of Jamie stabbing Katie. So the central question becomes why did he do it, and the explanation rolls out over the next three episodes. His family is loving, if imperfect, like most families. Jamie’s father, a plumber, is disappointed in him for not being an athlete and doesn’t quite know how to relate to his sensitive, artistic son. Jamie is bullied in school and filled with self-loathing, and he turns to Andrew Tate and other purveyors of sexist online content to make himself feel big.
In fact, there is only one mention in the series where Tate is named, although the writers did say that they wanted to “look in the eye of modern male rage” and examine the influence of public figures such as Andrew Tate on boys. Even though it’s a common theme in the commentary on the show, writers are never explicit about the evidence that he is attracted to the manosphere, although Tate is “namechecked once, the show is not about him. None of the kids ever mention him, which I thought was interesting.”
Yes, interesting. The media goes way out of their way to blame the manosphere but there’s really no evidence in what the viewer sees that the manosphere or “Tate-pilled boys” has anything to do with it. Teenage boys don’t need Tate or the manosphere to be infuriated at being called an incel. Both father and son have a problem with their temper, so the explanation could just as easily be genetic. One has the feeling that the show’s writers jumped on the manosphere theme after the (man-hating) reviews from the left started coming out, or else they would have made it much more explicit.
13-year-old Jamie is actually very good looking but not a big masculine guy, so he’s not going to be a big-time athlete, and it’s true that the father, like many fathers, would have loved to have a big, strapping athlete for a son. But I should have thought Jamie would be attractive to at least some girls. I thought it ridiculous that Jamie had the self-concept of being ugly. Is that what the left has done to White people?
I expected the usual politically correct portrayals of Blacks—virtuous and intelligent—but it’s so common that I hardly get upset about it. It struck me that all the White women were unattractive and out of shape, but the Blacks were physically robust and in great physical shape (the policeman must work out—his arms were very jacked, as we say). And his son was much taller than Jamie and was doubtless chosen because viewers would see him as physically attractive.  And of course, the Blacks are presented as intelligent, well-spoken, kind, and not prone to temperamental outbursts like Jamie and his father.
Detective father and son
Notice too the women in the background.
Surprisingly, I thought Jamie’s family were portrayed positively, especially the father—he had a loving marriage and never hit Jamie or his wife, although he did have a temper problem (as did Jamie). It was clear that the father was the head of household (patriarchy!!), so I suppose liberals see that as pathological, although I didn’t see it mentioned. Jamie clearly identifies much more with his father, so, e.g., he chooses his father to be the one person from the family who can sit in on the police interviews. The mother seems surprised and a bit upset about that.
But who can’t sympathize with the parents? Imagine your son murdering a girl and then having to deal with the fallout from the community. The wife wants to move but the husband realizes that the story will get out eventually wherever they are. Their older daughter is devastated.
One can totally understand the father’s rage at the teenagers on bikes who painted his truck with the word ‘nonce‘ (spelled incorrectly), meaning a sexual pervert attracted to children — and an extremely negative thing to call someone in British slang. The teenagers laughed at the family, and the father beat up one of the culprits.
It ends with both parents saying they should have done more. The last scene shows the father (but not the mother) weeping uncontrollably.

Soviet Union Style Justice in America: The Political Prosecution of Robert Rundo

Police Raid Robert Rundo’s Home

Mr. Rundo, to be sure, is not the only victim of this weaponization. The list of victims is long, including most of the January 6 defendants, about whom I hope also to write a series of articles.  Here are my reasons for writing first about Robert Rundo:

  1. I understand the legal issues in the Rundo prosecution well, especially those regarding the unconstitutionality of the federal Anti-Riot Act under which he was prosecuted and convicted.  The Free Expression Foundation filed several amicus briefs in support of Mr. Rondo on that topic.
  2.  I have extensively interviewed Mr. Rundo.  I intend in my series of  articles to quote directly from these interviews, allowing him to speak in his own voice as much as possible.
  3. Rundo’s story has the twists and turns, victories and defeats, loyalties and betrayals, dramas and comic moments of a gripping Hollywood movie.  Someday, one hopes, such a movie will be made.
  4. Rundo’s case lays bare Police State conduct by our governments many Americans  suspect but few encounter. It is disheartening to confront this reality, as Rundo’s story forces us to do. We cannot, however, take corrective action unless we confront these uncomfortable facts.
  5. Rundo’s case illustrates the power of media to fashion an alternate reality that effectively serves their political agendas. In Rundo’s case, a partisan article by an organization called Pro Publica led directly to his indictment and prosecution and the brutal treatment he received from law enforcement around the world.  Rundo should never have been prosecuted, and would not have been prosecuted but for the Pro Publica article.

As a preview that hopefully will whet the appetites of potential readers, here are a few excerpts from my interviews of Mr. Rundo.

RUNDO’S EARLY LIFE

  • Where did you grow up?

Rundo:  Queens. Yeah, New York. I didn’t fit in, school didn’t fit me. Not that it mattered. School was just a factory—overcrowded, chaotic, no one gave a damn about you. They said it was built for 3,000 students, but we had double that. So I learned to disappear. I didn’t need the classrooms. I had the streets. Back then, New York wasn’t full of artisanal coffee shops and overpriced apartments. It was real. It was a war zone, except the guns were invisible. Three blocks, you find your crew. No one calls themselves a gang. It’s just the guys, the crew, a bunch of people trying to exist. We gave ourselves names, wrote them everywhere—tags on walls, on trains, on anything that wouldn’t scream back. I would end up getting charged for that at 15 years old, and they sent me to a juvenile program for a few months. One other white kid in the whole place, 300 of us. The other youths there referred to the program as gladiator school.  It was a hardening experience, a wake-up call. I went in naïve and came out red-pilled.

  • What happened after that?

Rundo:  After that, things got complicated. You know, we were just kids trying to survive, but then MS-13 shows up in our neighborhood, and suddenly it’s not just about hanging out and doing stupid stuff. It’s about territory, power, and violence. MS-13 weren’t just some neighborhood crew. These guys were running on a whole other level. A lot of people thought it was a joke until they realized it wasn’t. I had two close friends stabbed by them. No warning, no real reason other than the wrong place at the wrong time. It was ugly. It was real.

By the time I turned 18, I had my own run-in with them. A knife fight—stupid, I know. But when you’re in it, you don’t think about the stupid. You think about survival. I came out on top, but it wasn’t a victory. The guy I got into it with? He had a long rap sheet—he wasn’t exactly some Boy Scout. He didn’t die, which saved me life in prison. I was young at the time and got “street struck” as they say, meaning caught up living.

  • What was it like in prison?

Rundo:  It’s rough for a young white going through the NYC prison system. It’s not like what you see in the movies, with a bunch of skinheads sitting at a table in shades waiting to welcome you. That happens more on the West Coast, but in New York, it’s different. Whites are few and far between and even when there are some they tend to stick to themselves.  Most of them are addicts or weirdos. There were very few I encountered I actually respected and would allow to work out with me. For the rest of it, the other inmates are like hyenas. They go for the low hanging fruit most of the time but I grew up a little rough around the edges, so I was able to handle it. Besides that, it is a nightmare of boredom that repeats itself everyday. In total it was lots of working out and reading and in the end it actually disciplined me and broke me out of that street mentality I had going in. I came out much sharper, healthier, harder.

CREATION OF THE RISE ABOVE MOVEMENT

  • What did you do after you left prison?

Rundo: I left that life behind, simple as that. I had a girlfriend who stuck by me through all of it, which, honestly, I didn’t expect. I started working as a steamfitter in the union—nothing glamorous, but it was honest work. Just the typical grind, you know? But all the while, I kept looking for something more.  I had these nationalist feelings.

At one point, I reached out to the only online group I could find.  Thought I’d give it a shot, see what it was about. Guy shows up in boots, camo, looking like he’s ready for a combat zone instead of a conversation. And I’m just thinking, this isn’t it. I made an excuse, told him I’d be right back, and just walked away.

A few years later the group Identity Europa started.  It was cool, lots of solid people I met, but it was a little too clean cut.  It was not what I was looking for; it was better than the guys dressed up in army uniforms and such but at the same time it was very white collar, I guess you would say very suburban but with all the memes and Pepe the frog, I didn’t take it too seriously. I was really looking for guys who have an activist culture and were physically fit and didn’t spend countless hours online posting frog pictures.

That’s when I came across a couple of friends that were Eastern European. They showed me some videos, videos showing Roman statues, showing guys boxing, guys at the pub with their girlfriends, something very normal. That got me actually training heavy into boxing, as I ended up taking it really serious because I was emulating all that Eastern European stuff.  So we [formed the Rise Above Movement] and did a banner drop off the L.A. freeway and stickers and boxing and working out. I don’t think anything existed close to that in America or even in the Anglosphere in general. The podcasts that were out there were super vulgar but we wanted to be the opposite, to be clean cut, so if you watch our videos there are no words in the videos and none of us did any podcast interviews that would step against the rules except one guy before joining RAM had posted some over the top stuff and that’s what Pro Publica was able to use against us.

We were well-liked. I would say we were the only group that when we showed up at those Trump rallies, people came up to us and shook our hand and said God Bless you guys for being here. It was different from what you see today. Guys today show up in masks, they don’t interact, if anything they’re confrontational.  We were the opposite;  we brought flyers, we would speak to normal people, we never came with any flags or anything edgy or arm bands stuff. We were just some All-American guys.

[With RAM] I just wanted to create a vehicle for something positive for young guys like myself. . . . I think of myself when I was 16, how different I could have been if I would have been exposed to something more positive.  Every project I do whether its working out with guys, music, videos, clothing, I think of myself when I was 16, would this change me away from the ghetto rap culture I was into that was very dangerous and got me a lot of trouble.

SWAT TEAMS AND THE FBI RANSACK RUNDO’S APPARTMENT AND ASSAULT HIM, OSTENSIBLY TO SERVE A SEARCH WARRANT

Glen Allen Comment:  Mr. Rundo and other RAM Members participated in two Pro-Trump rallies in California in early 2017, i.e., Huntington Beach (March 25, 2017) and Berkeley (April 15, 2017).  At both rallies Rundo was involved in physical altercations with individuals associated with Antifa. Shortly after that, an organization called Pro Publica published an article and then a video that included photographs from those incidents. By omitting key facts such as the violence perpetrated by Antifa, the weapons they had on them, and their role in instigating the altercations, Pro Publica falsely portrayed Rundo and other RAM members as violent domestic terrorists.

FEF’s future articles will describe the Huntington Beach and Berkeley rallies and the Pro Publica article and video in some depth, but this introduction will skip over these topics for now and describe the massive show-of-force service of a search warrant by a SWAT team and FBI agents on Rundo that followed these incidents:

Rundo:  Yeah, it was like something straight out of a movie. Crazy—that’s the only way to put it. There were probably ten of them, maybe more. I lived on the first floor, had a big window right over my bed. They didn’t even bother with the door—they came right through the window, right on top of me, while I was lying there.

They blew out the window first, then tossed in two flashbangs. I’m still half-asleep, trying to process what’s happening when they storm in with assault rifles, stepping over me, on my bed. I got dragged out by my feet, a gun pressed to the back of my head.  It was terrifying.

At one point, one of the officers pressed the barrel of his gun into my head, forcing my face into the floor. On top of that, they just wrecked the whole apartment—smashed every single window, ripped open bags of coffee, scattered everything. My clothes, my books—everything was taken. I didn’t even have anything radical in my collection, mostly romance books and some books on Roman history. They took those anyway.

So there I am, lying in my boxers, gun to my head, and they drag me out into the living room. The FBI hadn’t shown up yet. First, it was this SWAT team, all dressed up in elbow pads, helmets. They’ve got my hands behind my back, forcing me to crouch down so my head’s almost touching the floor. I look up, and I see them rifling through my cabinets, tossing cereal and coffee on the floor, just destroying everything.

  • Do you think this 3 a.m. massive force execution of the search warrant was politically motivated?

Rundo: This is how I knew it was political. They take me out front and basically march me around my apartment complex in my boxers for all the neighbors to see. Then the actual FBI guys come in with their jackets with the lettering on their shirts and all this stuff . . . and they’re like “listen can we speak to you about something?”  At the time what I thought happened was we had this problem with these journalists from Pro Publica that were really out to harm us and I thought they had done like a swatting on me and said we had guns or something. So I thought [the FBI] were like looking for something that didn’t exist, you know, because I never owned any firearms.  I’m from New York.  Guns weren’t something I really got into, so I thought they were just coming on some bad tip that we had weapons or something. . . .  so I’m like “yeah,  what do you have to say?”  and he’s like “were you at Huntington Beach?”  Now obviously I was at Huntington Beach;  my face was front page on the New York Times for being at Huntington Beach. So I say of course I was there and I’m thinking maybe the guy I got into a fight with died or was injured.  So he’s like “you got into a fight at Huntington Beach, right?” and I was like “yeah, did the guy die or something?” and he says “no no the guy’s fine, actually we don’t really know who he is.”  Basically he let’s me know they were there in connection with the Charlottesville RAM guys cases but because I wasn’t at Charlottesville, all they had was a search warrant. It was an intimidation tactic; they were saying we got your boys and we’re doing this to you even though you weren’t there, to send a message to you.  At the time of this raid there was only the first indictment for the RAM guys at Charlottesville; the second indictment for the California RAM guys was three or four weeks later.

So they end up letting me go. After they finally told me you’re free to go I was like you’re kidding me. I’m in my boxers so I asked the guy can I get some clothes back or something and they had to go into the truck and pull out a pair of jeans and a T-shirt because they took every piece of clothing I owned.

  • What did you do next?

Rundo:  That spooked me pretty hard. I mean, it was a hell of an experience, and I didn’t want to stick around for round two. I had some friends in Eastern Europe—they had a solid nationalist scene going on. I went to a boxing event there once, and I met this guy, a mentor of sorts. He told me, “Come out here. We’ll help you get settled. We’ll find you a job, figure things out.” So I said, “Alright, I’ll make it happen.” I had some savings from working with the union, so I wasn’t totally broke. I bought a flight, but instead of going direct, I took one with a layover—happened to be in the UK.

So I get to Gatwick just a day after they raided my place. I’ve got nothing with me but a few shirts, a book bag, a new phone, and a one-way ticket. Pulled all my cash out of the bank—I was going to figure the rest out once I was gone.

I board the plane to Gatwick and the minute I step off, it’s like I’ve walked into a setup. There’s this formation of airport security, some kind of Intel team. Right away they stop me and ask for my passport. They signal to each other, I’m “the guy” and form a phalanx around me.  They march me through the airport in the middle of this phalanx with at least fifteen guys forming a box around me. No one gets near me. No one’s even allowed to look at me.

Glen Allen Comment:  Mr. Rundo’s saga is fascinating and important on so many levels that I aspire eventually to compile and expand FEF’s articles about him into a full length book, complete with an appendix that would include, e.g., photographs, Judge Cormac Carney’s opinions (there are two important Judge Carney opinions, one striking down the Anti-Riot Act as unconstitutional and a later one dismissing the Rundo prosecution on selective prosecution grounds; both opinions were overturned by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals), and other interesting and relevant documents.

 If you deem this book project a worthy endeavor, all donations to defray its costs will be greatly appreciated.
