The Once and Future Year: 2023-2024

Looking back and forward.

The Past:

Past predictions in italics.

I can again repeat my prediction about the revealing of moles and infiltrators.

See this.

See Jeelvy’s comments about the possibility of moles and infiltrators.

See this.  And this. That puts a new perspective on the Nord-Jew alliance thing.

Here is an accusation from Liddell.

I can again repeat that the battle for the future of Der Movement will continue and intensify, with the HBD-Nordicist-ethnonationalist-Amnat alliance pushing multiracialist mainstreaming and remnants of the WN 1.0 Old Guard and the more hardcore WN 2.0 folks resisting this direction. 

More or less true as regards the first part, but not the second part as the old guard has essentially surrendered.

I can predict that Trumptards and various ethnic fetishists will attempt to openly use the “wop card” against DeSantis, making his Italian ancestry as a major strike against him.

That hasn’t been necessary, as DeSantis is flopping on his own. However, that said, there have been ethnic comments about The Meatball coming from Der Right.

I can predict that $300,000 won’t be enough for Counter-Currents in 2023, and their fundraising goal will be some sum greater than that.

It seems I was wrong about that. I believe they have asked for that amount again – and so far are not reaching it.

I also predict that the 2023 Amren conference will include at least one Jew and/or Colored speaker.

I was wrong.

I also predict that Meloni in Italy will continue to disappoint, re: race and immigration.

I have been 100% correct about that; it has been even worse than I expected.

I predict that there is a good chance that the cause of death for Roberts/Rojas will eventually be disclosed, possibly this upcoming year.

This has not happened; it may never occur. In fact I can now predict that it is most likely that it will continue to be hidden.

I’m not sure how much lower Der Movement can go compared to where it is in December 2022, but, hey, remember, these guys have decades of experience with absolute, utter, endless, humiliating failure and pitifully bad judgment, so anything, any collapse, is possible.

In my opinion, Der Movement continues to decline.

The Future:

Again: I can again repeat my prediction about the revealing of moles and infiltrators. Expect more scandals in general, re: Der Movement.

Also again: I also predict that Meloni in Italy will continue to disappoint, re: race and immigration.

In general, mainstreaming will continue to fail as a political strategy for the Far Right.

I am not going to make predictions for the 2024 US Presidential election; suffice to say, whatever the outcome, Whites will not benefit in the long term.

In general, I see 2024 much like 2023 and every preceding year – the overall situation worsens for Whites, Der Movement does nothing useful and has its hand out for D’Nations, and more time is wasted.

I can again repeat that the battle for the future of Der Movement will continue and intensify, with what I see as the infiltration of Counter-Currents into American Renaissance and The Occidental Observer continuing (if anyone involved in those entities says I am wrong about all of that, then please come on Western Destiny Radio and we can discuss it). WN 3.0 – multiracial “White nationalism” – will continue to be an utter farce.

A prediction – eventually, maybe in 2024 but likely later (when Sammy and the Kevster retire from their “activist” “hard work” perhaps?), the de facto affiliation between Counter-Currents, American Renaissance, and The Occidental Observer will become more “officially” formalized, via an announcement (or whatever) “spun” in such a way that it is a “path forward” and evidence that “we’re winning” and “expect great things ahead” coupled, of course, with further fundraising appeals.

I will assume that I will continue to be banned and blacklisted by Der Movement and that all of the Grand Poobahs will continue to be feckless cowards and ignore my debate challenges.

Will 2024 be the year that we get some more detailed archaeogenetics data, particularly the promised expansion of Ancient Egyptian samples that I have read online about?

In general, the paradigm for the Dissident Right of “no one wants to do anything” will continue to hold, re: serious political work and, especially, getting the rank-and-file from seeing any of this as anything other than entertainment.

One could easily imagine Johnson having a “falling out” with another of his contributors.

I believe that some of the other contrarians on the Dissident Right will, eventually if not in 2024, follow the Dickie Spinster path of moving from a Dissident Right contrarian to a centrist who praises liberals and can no longer truly be considered an authentic part of the Far Right.

It is likely that the only real progress on Der Right, broadly defined, will come from organizations led by Jews, as your Eloi “leaders” will be too busy begging for money, talking about Savitri Devi, doing “superman pushups,” etc.

“Truthgiver” at Amren will be seen as a trailblazer for individuals – actual Coloreds and/or White leftists/government agents posing as such – infiltrating the Dissident Right to spread Nordicism and other memes designed to divide Whites.  And the self-indulgent Eloi will “eat it all up.”  In contrast to Jews, who, whatever else you want to say about them, are a serious and determined people, Whites, particularly Eloi, are like children, and are easy prey for cognitive infiltration and other forms of manipulation.

The Italic Institute will continue with their asinine posts – I can say that they will make Italians look like buffoons, but Italians in general don’t need too much help in that regard.

Jeelvy Speaks

A very interesting statement.

A Gab correspondent brought to my attention a rather remarkable statement made by “Nix Jeelvy” and this correspondent made a transcript, reproduced in the quote below.

Included in Jeelvy’s activist background is that he was at one time, and not that long ago from the time of me posting this, a prominent participant at Counter-Currents, penning regular posts (that, to be honest, I typically harshly critiqued) as well as being a regular at Counter-Currents livestreams; indeed, Jeelvy was hosting The Writer’s Bloc at Counter-Currents at that time.  See here for an example.

Then, without any explanation, Jeelvy vanished from Counter-Currents and started doing his own thing. To what extent Jeelvy’s experiences with Counter-Currents informed his statement that is discussed here is unknown; you will note that he does not mention any names, websites, or organizations in his statement. Nevertheless, my readers, when considering all of this, should be aware of Jeelvy’s previous Counter-Currents connection. What you make of that is up to you.

What I will do here is comment on what I see as particularly important in his statement.

Transcript (emphasis added): 

[Gab correspondent note: Nicholas Jeelvy riffing on royal pardons to pirates wishing to defect to the government]: 

This got me thinking in the nationalist movement, here Im talking about people like us, would take such a deal from our enemies? All your racisms and political incorrectness in the past is forgiven and forgotten, you can seek employment wherever and your employer cannot terminate you for past racism. You are guaranteed safety from Antifa for past racism. In a sense everything that has happened in the past is consigned to oblivion and can no longer be held against you. I believe that this movement is so thoroughly demoralised that a majority of people including a significant majority of content creators and figureheads would take that deal. I personally know at least two major content creators-like serious names- Im not gonna reveal who they are I want to respect their privacies, who would take that deal and as for myself while Im still not in a place where I would accept it I did find myself considering it something that would have been unthinkable to me as recently as mid May (2023). Whats more I dont think that this demoralisation comes from without i.e. defeats and demoralisation operations inflicted by the enemy but rather from with from betrayals, from mismanagement of resources, from arrogance, from greed on the part of the leadership. From the sidelining of quality and promotion of scum, from the tolerance and promotion of hostile non-Whites and the refocusing of movement priorities on secondary hot button culture war issues, rather than a steadfast commitment to ending White displacement and forging a White identity politics. On a more disturbing note I further believe that a full quarter of the people who are demoralised enough to accept a pardon are also demoralised enough to become informants and moles. This alone should rouse the movement heads into action or at least a cessation of their worst excesses… I believe that the enemy will have defeated this upstart movement perhaps not once and for all but for a number of decades. That was published June 29th and I stand by it.

There is a lot there that mirrors many of my own criticisms of the “movement.” Let us consider some excerpts.

I believe that this movement is so thoroughly demoralised that a majority of people including a significant majority of content creators and figureheads would take that deal. I personally know at least two major content creators-like serious names- Im not gonna reveal who they are I want to respect their privacies, who would take that deal and as for myself while Im still not in a place where I would accept it I did find myself considering it something that would have been unthinkable to me as recently as mid May (2023). 

I remember reading the ex-girlfriend of one major “movement” figure, a woman now an informant, saying how that figure regrets his involvement. Whether that is true or not I do not know, but it is consistent with Jeelvy’s assertion. I won’t get into some of the mysterious deaths of young activists that in some cases may be related to this issue. I myself have written how I believe that much of the grifting going on in the “movement” is due to people who may have been sincere at the beginning, became demoralized, realized that they are stuck and cut off from a normal life, do not really believe in victory, and are just trying to survive and make a cynical buck from the whole comedy. These people have painted themselves into a corner, likely feel trapped, and for the time being see grifting for survival as their only way out. But what if Jeelvy’s scenario comes into play? What if these people are given the option to be lifted out of the corner they’ve painted themselves into, their “racist” history brushed off, and re-integrated into mainstream society?  And what would be the price that the System would ask for that rehabilitation? Would that price be the informant and mole activity mentioned by Jeelvy later in his statement?

These sorts of people can do a lot of damage with the knowledge and personal connections that they have, Katie McHugh being one prime example.

One characteristic (of many) of WN 2.0 and WN 3.0 that I perceive as a negative is how many young people, mostly men, became overt, public activists, which essentially cuts them off from a normal life right from the start, sabotaging many aspects of personal advancement. That contrasts with my own advice to young activists that is to take care of yourself and your own life first, and only when you are sufficiently secure should you – or could you – start investing time and resources into authentic activism. And 99% (or more) of these people should not become overt, public activists at a young age, before they have had the chance to establish career, family, savings, etc. Only a tiny number of very special people, born leaders who have something unique to offer and who can make a go of it as a real, effective leader who will have supporters behind them for the rough times. should do so. Indeed, I would say that, at least under current conditions, most activists should remain anonymous/pseudonymous, regardless of age.  

There are many who preach the virtues of being overt and public – mainly people who have done so, have not much to show for it, and want others to make the same mistake – but I note that it is precisely the cohort of open, overt, public activists who are the ones who are, in my opinion, the real subjects of Jeelvy’s statement.

Whats more I dont think that this demoralisation comes from without i.e. defeats and demoralisation operations inflicted by the enemy but rather from with from betrayals, from mismanagement of resources, from arrogance, from greed on the part of the leadership. 

Exactly. What a perfect statement of the failures and poor character of Der Movement’s inept Quota Queen affirmative action “leadership.”  Betrayal?  Yes. The prime reason I “broke” with areas of Der Movement was the constant betrayal – I was a loyal supporter, even contributor, and was constantly betrayed by the Quota Queens. Mismanagement?  Arrogance? Greed?  Yes. Do you read my criticisms of Der Movement?  It is all discussed there. 

Is Jeelvy going to be called a “paranoid piece of crap” suffering from “insanity” as I was?  Isn’t it interesting that different people come up with the same criticisms of Der Movement?

From the sidelining of quality and promotion of scum…

I do not know who or what Jeelvy is specifically referring to here, but I can state my own opinion – any “movement” that would ban and blacklist me while promoting the likes of Jim Goad is a “movement” that is absolutely worthless.

…from the tolerance and promotion of hostile non-Whites …

Remember all of my criticisms of WN 3.0?  About Jamaican HBDers peddling carefully tailored memes and half-Desis who critique White nationalism? About non-White HBDers and their White sycophants? 

…and the refocusing of movement priorities on secondary hot button culture war issues, rather than a steadfast commitment to ending White displacement and forging a White identity politics.

Sounds like the entire “movement” and some of the focus on silly issues that I often criticize.  See this example of Counter-Currents focusing on a “secondary hot button culture war issue.” And the inevitable result.  Wrong, wrong, they’re always, always, ALWAYS WRONG.

That can also fit into the last comment about non-Whites; the entire Kanye West worship episode was a comedy of focusing in a “culture war” news story involving one of WN 3.0’s Holy Coloreds.

On a more disturbing note I further believe that a full quarter of the people who are demoralised enough to accept a pardon are also demoralised enough to become informants and moles

I have been writing about the dangers of informants, mole, and infiltrators for years, and have predicted that some major “movement” figure may one day be outed as such. But I’m a “paranoid piece of crap” suffering from “insanity” don’t you know. Jeelvy does not mention names so I will not, but we can imagine those who fit the bill as regards potential informants and moles. Jeelvy’s “pardon” scenario is food for thought and something that needs to be carefully considered, especially by those willing to invest time, resources, and personal involvement in a “movement” that could become compromised by this scenario and that could be infested with infiltrators, informants, and moles.

The Quota Queens can ban and blacklist me, they can directly insult and defame me as an insane paranoid piece of crap, and they can make snide and dishonest indirect comments, but they cannot hide the fact that an increasing number of prominent individuals on the Dissident Right – including some of their own former writers, associates, and livestreamers – are speaking out against the destructive nonsense of Der Movement.  And they are not doing it because they are “de-facto antifa bloggers” but precisely because they are genuine WNs disgusted about how incompetents, freaks, perverts, and grifters have made a mockery of pro-White activism. 

After thirty years of mid-level pro-White activism, I must say, if I really was a “de-facto antifa blogger” I would have already regurgitated an enormous amount of material about Der Movement and its sorry history, including an episode or two about which the rank-and-file and most of its “leaders” know nothing.  But since I am a WN who understands discretion, I keep silent about all of that, and only comment on issues that are already in the public domain. 

To summarize, Jeelvy has done all of us a great service in making this statement; it is another example of someone from the Dissident Right, particularly someone previously associated with Counter-Currents, who has publicly made a serious critical statement about Der Movement. We need a New Movement and for this New Movement to thrive the niche space occupied by the failed Old Movement needs to be cleared away.

I have been critical of Jeelvy in the past, but he makes so much sense with this statement, and most of the other things he talked about in that White Rabbit talk (apart from his usual Boomer obsession), that I have to wonder how much of his previous deficiencies was a result of his association with Counter-Currents. In any case, if Jeelvy would like to discuss these issues more, including on Western Destiny Radio, then he can contact me at my Ted Sallis Gab account.

Speaking of Western Destiny Radio, in the absence of people willing to participate, future podcasts will be infrequent. There is no need to do there that which can be done more effectively at a blog; only if the audio format is more suitable for a particular project or statement will it be used.

Odds and Ends, 8/20/23

In der news.

And so worried parents, awakened by noise, go down to their basement, to find their Millennial Alt Right son, drenched in a cold sweat, writhing in his futon bed, yelling from a hellish nightmare: Low trust Southern Italians!  Racially mixed!  Roman slaves!  The Moops!  Two foot tall superstitious Sicilians are after me! As a distraught mother wakens and comforts her hysterical son, the father shakes his head sadly as he sees all of the semen-encrusted anime comics strewn over the basement floor.

Well, well, well…   See here.

The whistleblower recounts how one of his sources, code-named Genius, won the trust of racist extremists whom the bureau investigated for their role in the January 6 violence. Genius was able to do so because he had credibility on the far-right political fringe. Nevertheless, the whistleblower claims, the FBI ordered that the source be closed, supposedly for making the same kinds of “inappropriate” comments on social media that had earned him access to some of the leaders of the insurrection.

My annual summary of the previous year and predictions for the next typically include the prediction of infiltration of Der Movement and revelations about moles.  While no name is given (and “Genius” is highly inappropriate for a code name for anyone in Der Movement – although on second thought, if is good in the sense it is so misleading it can more effectively hide the identity of the source) that all seems that I was and am correct.

Keep on sending in your D’Nations though!

Laugh at this.

After his heartfelt remembrance of the late Dr. Richard Lynn, Mr. Taylor did not offer a minute of silence. Instead, he called for bold speech and courageous action.

Did they invoke the Sallis plan to conjure up the ghost of Tricky Dick?  From Gab: Will the Amren conference opening today be holding a seance to conjure up the ghost of Richard Lynn? They can use chopsticks to bang on copies of the Talmud, while ritualistically jacking off to this.

That should do the trick.

Mr. Woods offered hope for Ireland because he said there is no “faux” populist party that can serve as a safety valve to dissipate nationalist resistance. Instead, the political system will be forced to cope with a new force. Ultimately, the Right must be radically reconstituted to face this mortal threat to the Irish nation.

Wishful thinking and delusion.

Amusingly, when Mr. McNallen began explaining the significance of Wotan, there was a deafening crash of thunder that prompted cheers.

Mr. McNallen argued that Ragnarök is upon us, the Nordic equivalent of the Kali Yuga, but we need “runes rather than ruins” and “the mead of inspiration…

Precisely the sort of obsessive nonsense that led to the Hermansson Humiliation.

…many things are getting better…

Bank accounts?

Jared Taylor reflected on decades of public activism and said that when he began American Renaissance in 1990s, it was a kind of golden age for free speech. He said that CPSAN covered American Renaissance conferences, and he spoke on many college campuses and radio stations

And now? Underscoring the UTTER FAILURE of Amren.

Though the future may appear dark, Mr. Taylor argued that “the censors are failing” and that intelligent white activists are building their own communities and taking over existing institutions.

Examples please.

Most of the speakers argued that we need a philosophical system to deconstruct what has been done to our race. They laid out specific suggestions about how we can get there.

Examples please.

From Counter-Currents, Lord Shit comments on McNallen and Asatru:

Moving on, while I would never take umbrage at or personally disparage Asatru (any movement that puts WP at its center has my at least tacit support), count me sceptical that it will ever make much headway among the masses of our people. The white man’s “metaphysical future” is either Christian or atheist.

Uh, yeah, well, putting aside all of the other problems and (Nordicist) problematical assumptions of McNallenism, it just is precisely the sort of superfluous freakishness that alienates normal people and retards the growth of pro-White activism. After all, I’m not promoting the Greco-Roman pantheon as an alternative; forget about the specifics of Asatru and just think about the utter stupidity of tying pro-White activism to a centuries-dead pagan religion (of any type). And yet your Fearless Leaders don’t have the common sense to realize that such nonsense has no place at a “White advocacy” conference; if people want to practice this in private, fine, but to publicly associate it with White activism is another example of the poor judgment the Quota Queens have that they are never held to account for because of the affirmative action policy.

Part of a Counter-Currents comment:

Hamburger TodayAugust 17, 2023 at 7:44 pm

How many committed anti-White Whites do you think there will be if there’s (at minimum) no disadvantage to being ‘pro-White’?

The ‘broad white tent’ cannot included pro-Whites and anti-Whites. That’s not what I’m suggesting at all.

What I’m suggesting is that sub-racial issues simply not be treated as ‘serious’ issues.

The ‘big tent’ approach is regarding these sub-racial issues.

My response:

I’m not sure I agree 100% with this, but let us approach it in a different way. If those issues are not “serious” then can we ask that those who obsess over them stop bringing them up constantly and stop trying to tie White activism to them?

As I’ve said many times, the aggressors in these debates are the Nordicists, ethnic fetishists, conspiracy theorists, anti-scientists, anti-vaxxers, Christian nationalists, HBDers, etc. THEY are the ones who always initiate the debates, the angry threads, and breaking up the “big tent.” If we are gong to have a “big tent” (not that I agree but if that is what the aim is) then can those people just shut the fuck up? Excuse my vulgar language, but we must target those who are responsible.

While Big Tent and inclusion sounds good the paradox of inclusion is that if you take it seriously you will end up including people who are by their nature divisive, thus disrupting your “Big Tent.”  You can say all Whites welcome and let us ignore side issues, but that inclusion will being in Nordicists and other ethnic fetishists who will start redefining “White” to their standards, excluding people in your tent.  HBDers will make it all about IQ and other traits, and will divide Whites along the “Hajnal line.” You can say religion doesn’t matter and all are welcome, but that will include Christian fanatics who place religion over race and say that we must all be Christian.  You can say that people with different opinions are all welcome as long as they are White, and then you will find discussion hijacked to a focus on anti-vaxx, moon landing hoax, nuclear weapons don’t exist, Germ Theory is a fraud, etc.  Then you will get the WN 3.0 crew and their desire to include non-Whites (while excluding White ethnics), and so on and so forth.  In practice, in reality, all of the different permutations of opinions and ideologies are to some degree incompatible and you cannot plaster over these differences long term. These lines of division will eventually fracture your project and likely during a time of crisis.  Clever enemies can exploit these divisions to their benefit and your detriment.  Eventually, you will need to mimic The System and hypocritically define “inclusion” as to exclude all who would reject a full inclusion.  I say it is best to have at least some non-negotiable core ideology, exclude those who do not agree – and those people can build their own groups if they wish – and expand from a solid foundation of fundamental beliefs and those who agree with those beliefs.  In my experience, to do otherwise, invites constant conflict, and the “Big Tent” will collapse.

Read about kin term mimicry.

Adaptive mimicry in animals is a well-known phenomenon. Here, we propose that a similarly adaptive strategy in humans is using kin terms for people who are not closely genetically related. Irrespective of the initiator attributing a kin term to a non-kin, we call this kin term mimicry (KTM). The emergence of human sociality and language allowed not only easy kin recognition, but also led to strong positive emotions related to such kin names as “mother,” “father,” “brother,” “sister,” “aunt” or “uncle.” Although the phenomenon of using kin terms of genetically unrelated people is well known in the social sciences, here we discuss it in the light of evolution. We notice this is an evolutionary adaptive cooperation strategy, which allows us to predict in which ecological or social circumstances it will be more prevalent. We postulate specific testable factors that affect the prevalence of kin mimicry. We also discuss who is more likely to be an initiator of calling non-kin a fictive kin, and who benefits from such behavior. The KTM hypothesis postulates that an individual or social group initiating or bestowing kin terms usually receives more benefits (economic and/or psychological support) from such mimicry.

Speaking of mimicry:

I will try to explain the following generality as best as I can. Consider similarity on a graph with race vs. culture. There are four quadrants – similar race and culture, different race and culture, same race different culture, and different race same culture. We can agree that someone who matches us in race and culture is “us” while people in the different race and culture quadrant are not. That leaves the intermediate categories. Which is worse – having the same race without the same culture, or being of a different race while mimicking the culture? The person of same race can always join our culture if they so choose; if they are of our race then they can assimilate into our culture. They are naturally part of it; it is their current denial which is unnatural. A person of different race can never be part of our race regardless of how they try to mimic our cultural markers. Therefore, different race same culture is more alien than is same race different culture. Now, both these intermediate categories are bad and in reality very few people in the same race different culture group actually do change to same race and culture. But they in theory can do so. And if we consider biological adaptive fitness, our genetic interests lie with those more similar to us genetically. Culture can be used by aliens as a form of mimicry for demographic cuckoldry. 

An Interesting Tidbit

Move on, move on, there’s nothing to see here.  In all cases, emphasis added.

More Humphrey.  Putting aside Humphrey’s particular emphasis there, what do we see? The racial situation for America was grim when that was written and far grimmer today. Why then do the Quota Queens tell us we will win and decry “blackpilling” when non-Nordicists come to the same conclusion as Humphrey? Why do Johnson and McCulloch (a Humphrey protegee) (indirectly) go back and forth as to whether the victory will take 50 years (Johnson’s take) or whether that’s too long to wait; e.g., McCulloch in TOO:

…it is certainly anticlimactic in the temporal sense, with a gradual process that might take fifty years, a couple of generations, or until well after those opposed to it are dead. Unfortunately, most of those who are in favor of the ethnostate, who presumably worked and fought against seemingly impossible odds to win it—and want to enjoy their victory by living in it—will also be dead. Fifty years is the life expectancy of a 29-year-old man. 

McCulloch is essentially saying he’s pissed that he won’t be around to see the vaunted White ethnostate. After all, what’s most important is not eventually securing the existence of Europeans on the North American continent, but selfishly wanting to “enjoy their victory.”

Getting back to my main point – how come realism about our plight is OK when Humphrey does it and Amren regurgitates it, but is “blackpilled” negativism when others express the same opinions?

Let’s move on from that bit of “movement” hypocrisy and delve into the realm of “movement” affirmative action. In that same TOO piece, McCulloch writes:

I first met Greg Johnson in 2001 as part of a group of fifteen conference attendees having a late dinner at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC. Dr. Johnson was among those seated at my end of the table. To drop two familiar names, Sam Francis and Jared Taylor were among those seated at the other end.

The Good Old (Nord) Boys Club in action. Note that Taylor (HBD “race realist”) and Francis (“paleoconservative”) were in a private dinner meeting with radical Nordicist McCulloch. Note also how quickly Johnson rose to be included with such “august personages” – not long after he entered the “movement.” But there’s no affirmative action, no siree. To understand how early 2001 was in Johnson’s journey through Der Movement, see this:

While living in Atlanta, Georgia (in late 1999 or early 2000), Johnson met Joshua Buckley, a former skinhead and the editor of Tyr, a radical Traditionalist journal. In September 2000, Johnson attended a lecture given by British Holocaust denier David Irving. In late 2000, he started to think about founding his own white nationalist journal, but abandoned the idea after the creation of The Occidental Quarterly in 2001.The following year, he joined the faculty of the Pacific School of Religion as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Swedenborgian Studies. In 2007, Johnson became the editor of The Occidental Quarterly, establishing its online version in collaboration with Michael J. Polignano.

So, in 2001, Johnson was in between abandoning the idea of “founding his own white nationalist journal” and joining “the faculty of the Pacific School of Religion as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Swedenborgian Studies.”  But he was at a dinner meeting with Taylor, Francis, and McCulloch (all of this assumes McCulloch’s recollection is accurate; insofar as I know, neither Taylor nor Johnson has denied the accuracy of this).

Also:

From his introduction I got the impression that Dr. Johnson was an academic doing research on our movement…

That sounds strangely familiar to how Hermansson wormed his way in, including the dinner thing:

In Britain, Mr. Hermansson attended a private dinner of extremists where Greg Johnson, a reclusive leading American far-right figure who is editor in chief of Counter-Currents Publishing…

And, of course, “movement” affirmative action helped there as well:

His Swedish background also helped. Among the groups he frequented were many neo-Nazis who like fascists in the 1930s and 40s, lionise Swedes as an original “unspoilt” version of the Aryan race.

“They believed that people from Scandinavia are more racially pure,” he says. “And of course, that was a myth back then, and it’s a myth now… but people said to me in very clear words, ‘Oh, you are the master race.“

Hey, there’s no affirmative action, no siree!

By the way, I was “banned” at Counter-Currents after pointing out, in a comment, the fact that “movement” Nordicism facilitated the Hermansson humiliation.  That comment, as you can see, accurately reflected reality, but was enough to get me “banned.” Back to McCulloch:

…accompanied by two grad students and a London journalist who was writing a book on political fringe groups. 

I thought we were were not supposed to be “in bed with the press.” I don’t know the ethnic background of those “two grad students” but we can presume that the “London journalist” was of British stock (if I am wrong, then those involved can correct that error). The journalist was allowed to be there I suppose because the Quota Queens – despite protestations to the contrary – like to use the press to boost their “leadership” credentials to the rank-and-file. It is unclear from McCulloch’s writing (and why divulge all of this private information – does this “name dropping” make McCulloch feel ever-so-important?) whether the “two grad students” were associated with Johnson or with the “London journalist” or were there on their own as independent entities (if so, why?). These details aside, the point remains of Johnson’s remarkably rapid inclusion amongst the Grand Poobahs, independent of the “writing a book” bait of the “London journalist” (and the uncertain status of the “two grad students”).

As I recall, he asked a lot of questions and did a lot of listening.

Yes, after all, anyone just starting out in the “movement” would be there to ask questions of Taylor, Francis, and McCulloch, right?

Since that introduction he has risen to a position of  prominence…

On his livestream with Dickson, Johnson denied he was the beneficiary of any affirmative action, scoffed at it, and labeled me a “paranoid piece of crap” for suggesting it. Johnson averred that he has a PhD and so his inclusion in private dinners and his rapid rise “to a position of prominence” was merely due to his own intellectual brilliance and academic pedigree.  After all, no one else in the “movement” ever had a PhD before him, amirite?

No affirmative action of course, no siree.  

A Gab correspondent who is a friend of this blog has provided more information. See this. That’s the rationale for sticking him right into the middle of Der Movement and its “leaders?”

More on Johnson’s “movement” history:

I think it was Labor Day of 2000 when I took the next step. I went out to a diner in Buckhead where David Irving was going to talk. There were people there, and some of them seemed a little like seedy haters from Hollywood central casting. But you know, I’m one of these essentially liberal-minded White people. I’m open to “the other.” 

Johnson went from that to dinner with Taylor, Francis, and McCulloch in one year. Astonishing.

Also:

This turned out to be Joshua Buckley who is the editor of the journal TYR now. He was an ex-skinhead and really, really intelligent. Pretty much self-educated. High school drop-out, highly intelligent, self-educated guy, ex-skinhead. And he was the first actual concrete person that I met who was on the Right, aside from myself and this friend of mine. I found it really eye-opening. Not just eye-opening, world-opening. This whole world opened up around me…Yeah. He introduced me to the neofolk music scene and a lot of other stuff that I thought was really fascinating. At that point, I kind of made the plunge into not just privately thinking these ideas but not doing anything more . . . Because, essentially, deep down inside I just felt it was all hopeless anyway, right? It’s like the world’s going to hell, and there’s nothing anybody can do. I actually started thinking, “Well, maybe something can be done.” So, I started educating myself and getting more into this.

From that to hobnobbing to top “movement” “leaders” in a flash. 

Re: that last paragraph from Counter-Currents, my Gab correspondent provides the following, which may in part be speculation but likely and reasonable:

Timeline:

Joshua Buckley, was the main business partner of Sam Dickson (who lives in Atlanta Georgia).

Greg meets Joshua Buckley due to shared interest in The Men Who Can’t Tell Time -> Greg meets Sam Dickson -> Dickson probably introduces him to William Regenery Jared Taylor Sam Francis etc. All while Greg still posed as Randian Objectivist in public and contributed nothing to WN yet.

Even Spencer was more meritocratic as he had been the editor and writer of Takimag and The American Conservative, which he got due to his years of Conservative activism and the Duke Conservative Union. And had already had a WN website before he got Regenery money to make NPI (which made it bigger).

So, as bad and relatively meritless as Spencer’s elevation was, Johnson’s was far worse.

Johnson’s rapid rise in, and maintained status in, Der Movement was for some reason not mimicked by his ex-collaborator, the wop-mick hybrid Polignano, who started in Der Movement around the same time as did Johnson.

Fancy that.

What happened to Patler? Driven to murder (or framed). Tommasi was murdered. Polignano was discussed by Forney and Friberg, re: what happened to him with Johnson. Calabro was attacked behind his back as “racially mixed” and “stealing Northern European women” (I believe his wife was Irish). Conte’s throwing other wops under the bus (contrasting the “purity” of his own Calabrian mountain heritage with “mongrel” coastal Sicilians) didn’t help him in the end, did it? Sallis is, of course, a “paranoid piece of crap” suffering from “insanity.”

If you see any pattern there, then YOU are an “insane paranoid piece of crap.”

The relevance of all of this is based on the following:

1. Racial activism for Whites, and hence White well-being, is currently predominantly associated with Der Movement, which has gone from failure to failure.

2. A significant portion of the problem with Der Movement is a failure of leadership.

3. The failure of leadership is in part due to Der Movement’s ethnic affirmative action policy.

4. Therefore, discussion of that policy is important for the future of racial activism and, hence, well-being of our people.
