Buzzfeed: A Second Look

A second look.

I wrote about this article before, but in light of recent events, particularly of me being labeled a “mentally ill freak” whose criticism of “movement” failure is pure “sophistry” I believe it is useful to take a brief second look at this.

Excerpts and my comments:

BuzzFeed News can reveal that in at least one instance during the summer of 2016, Thiel hosted a dinner with one of the most influential and vocal white nationalists in modern-day America…

Given the identity of that individual, and that he is/was “one of the most influential and vocal white nationalists in modern-day America” can we be surprised what an utter failure Der Movement is?

 — a man who has called for the creation of a white ethnostate and played a key role in an effort to mainstream white nationalism as the “alt-right.” 

How has that all worked out so far?

…the ascendant alt-right movement, which despite its prominence was a collection of small and often cash-strapped organizations. 

Cash-strapped? Really?

One avowed white nationalist privately speculated that Thiel’s money and influence could have made him “our George Soros.”

Hmmm. Work out?  No?  But I thought you guys are “winning” and any skepticism about that is “sophistry?”

The people he met or had had plans with are unfamiliar to the vast majority of Americans, but they were for a time key figures pushing racist ideology and white nationalism toward a place of greater acceptability within the hard-right world of Trumpism. 

Trumpism is hard-right? In reality, as opposed to perception?

This laundering of white nationalist ideas into wider conservative circles was the alt-right’s raison d’être.

They’ll tell you that they succeeded.  What do you think?  Success upon success!

A handful of events Thiel attended with some of the most influential voices in the far-right and white nationalist movements in 2016 and 2017 provided a venue for those connections.

Which led to…drum roll please…endless failure.

Here you go:

A Far-Right Web

Kevin DeAnna

Founder of far-right Youth for Western Civilization. Has written for white nationalist publications, under various pseudonyms. Met Thiel for dinner in July 2016.

Curtis Yarvin

Influential far-right thinker who blogged under the pseudonym Mencius Moldbug. Argues for authoritarian-style government. Has written that he’s “not exactly allergic” to white nationalism. Longtime Thiel associate.

Peter Brimelow

Founder of VDare.com, a hard-right anti-immigration website that frequently publishes white nationalists. Has said that “Hispanics do specialize in rape.” Published DeAnna.

Brendan Kissam

Former GOProud volunteer and tea party activist who filmed videos as “Wilson Hewlett” for VDare.

Greg Johnson

Founder of the white nationalist website and publishing house Counter-Currents. Author of books, including The White Nationalist Manifesto.

Jeff Giesea

A Thiel associate and former employee who developed his own connections in the far right. Helped organize 2017’s DeploraBall.

Still wondering about the endless failure?

Newly uncovered emails seen by BuzzFeed News….

How?  Eyebrows (both real and fake) are raised.

…show white nationalist leaders were chattering about plans with Thiel in the summer of 2016.

Fail.

On July 2, Peter Brimelow, the founder of leading white supremacist website VDare, emailed his star writer Kevin DeAnna to chastise him for freelancing for other outlets. 

That’s just too easy to mock, pass.

Brimelow, who later asserted that “Hispanics do specialize in rape, particularly of children,” also wanted to know: Why hadn’t his writer kept him updated on an upcoming meeting with Thiel?

1. JT sent me some links and said you can write this up for us real quick. It took about two hours. Originally, it was just going to be on that teacher but then I found some stuff about BAMN.

JT?  Hmmmm.

I didn’t look too much into what actually happened at the protest because I still don’t know what happened and don’t think I’ll ever know. I just don’t believe what TWP is putting out (that the skinheads weren’t armed.)

My point is I didn’t plan this out and then write it. JT just said you can do this real quick and I said yes and then did it. But obviously first refusal from now on.

2. Not sure why I’m getting in trouble for the Thiel thing. I told Lydia about it one day after Greg told me about it. And she’s the only person I’ve told as it is totally secret. I thought you’d be happy about that.

I’ll blog more, let you know what I’m planning on writing with first refusal, and do a better job of talking on the phone.

Will write on the GOP stab in the back against Trump on Tuesday.

Trying to figure out who the cop is, no luck yet.

Good Internet and computer security there.

 “I am fed up with being surprised about e.g. this meeting with the Right Stuff, Ann Coulter, Thiel etc.,” Brimelow wrote, with his wife, Lydia Brimelow, copied on the message. “You are being paid in part to keep me abreast of Alt Right developments and you’re not doing it.” 

Well, gee, Pete, all Kev had to do was just send repeated messages all containing the word “failure” and that would have kept you effectively “abreast of Alt Right developments.”

DeAnna, an influential white nationalist who pens pieces for VDare and has written many pieces for other prominent publications in the movement like American Renaissance and Counter-Currents, under the pseudonyms “James Kirkpatrick” and “Gregory Hood”…

Meanwhile, RaceNatGoy is falsely accused of being my “sock puppet” account.

The dinner that Friday night was a little different. Termed the “Right Wing Dinner Squad, III” in an email sent by one attendee, the event featured an individual that the billionaire, despite his flair for controversy, has never associated with publicly.

That guest was DeAnna.

Howdy Peter and Kevin,

I’d been looking forward to you guys getting to meet, and last night proved fantastic! I’m sure you two will have plenty strategy to bounce back and forth, and I look forward to hearing about it.

-Brendan

Brendan?  Hmmm. I have some questions for a certain individual who wrote an article about my “neurotic” blogging.

DeAnna, though not a household name, had by that time been involved in far-right politics for close to 10 years, and had played a key role in channeling white nationalist ideology into the emerging alt-right. After graduating from the College of William and Mary in Virginia, DeAnna joined the conservative Leadership Institute, and founded Youth for Western Civilization in 2006.

Success after success!

DeAnna did not respond to questions from BuzzFeed News.

Alas, one other apparently did respond. See below.

DeAnna also served as a Trump evangelist in his community. He was among the voices on the fringe who exhorted their peers to get on board with Trump…

And how did that work out?  Who was it who wrote that Trump was so weak that he made “Jimmy Carter look like Alexander the Great?”

…and work within the system instead of marginalizing themselves outside it. For Spencer’s website Radix Journal, DeAnna wrote in 2015 urging support for Trump, even though some in the movement were wary of conventional politics.

And someone warned back in 2016 that Trump was a fraud, a vulgar ignorant buffoon, and a Negrophilic race cuck. Any guesses as to who that sickle-celled mentally ill freakish person is?

“DeAnna’s email with Thiel was prompted by Brendan Kissam, a former Tea Party activist from Philadelphia. 

Brendan from Philadelphia.  Hmmmm.  Let’s see:

Kissam met Thiel in 2010 when he volunteered to help organize a fundraiser at Thiel’s New York City apartment for the gay Republican group GOProud. According to a source who had spoken with Kissam, the activist and Thiel kept in touch after the fundraiser; in January 2011, a user identifying themselves as “Brendan Kissam” commented on a critical post about Thiel on LGBTQ website Queerty…

Hmmm. I have some ideas that I’m, let us say, flirting with, but I’d like to ask some questions to a particular individual who reads EGI Notes.

“It’s amazing,” Spencer said on the night of a “Gays for Trump” party thrown near the Quicken Loans Arena the night before Thiel spoke. “We’ve taken over the right.”

And drove it right into the ditch.

Those weeks of political victory for Thiel coincided with a public reckoning for the alt-right, which had sought to portray itself as a gentler, more mainstream-friendly iteration of white nationalism. Richard Spencer was caught in November shouting “Heil Trump” while others performed Nazi salutes at an event hosted by Spencer’s think tank. The incident caused a bitter row in alt-right circles and drew unwanted attention to the dark underbelly of the movement.

I see now in retrospect why some Alt Righters were so upset about Heilgate and were so quick to denounce Spencer.  They saw all their dreams of big money evaporating like dew on a warm summer morning.

Spencer’s banishment and Thiel’s presence indicated a new mainstream taking shape on the right. While the more radical elements of the movement became marginalized, the DeploraBall crowd was still able to attract a high profile Trump donor like Thiel.

End result – failure.

Thiel also started a family. After marrying longtime boyfriend Matt Danzeisen in an elaborate ceremony in Austria in 2017, the two had a baby daughter, according to those close to the couple.

They “had a baby daughter?”  Had?  Did I miss an update in reproductive biology somewhere along the line?

In an email from this April viewed by BuzzFeed News..

Security marches on.

…Greg Johnson, the publisher of white nationalist website Counter-Currents and author of The White Nationalist Manifesto, was still fuming over the “Heilgate” incident and blamed Richard Spencer and others for making the movement too toxic for big donors like Thiel. 

I thought all you guys are “winning?”

Johnson, who said he never met Thiel, didn’t deny the email’s accuracy to BuzzFeed News…

Well, then, apparently someone did respond to Buzzfeed it seems.  What happened to not “being in bed with the press?”  Was an opportunity to knock Spencer too good to pass up?

Spencer and his think tank National Policy Institute were “being eyed for larger donations, but he blew it. A lot was possible in 2016, before Hailgate,” Johnson wrote to other alt-right leaders.

“I don’t think Peter Thiel is going to become our George Soros after all this,” Johnson continued. “There is simply no calculating the setbacks caused by these kooky and treasonous people.

OK.  I thought you are all “winning?”  Are you actually saying that inept “movement” “leaders” caused “setbacks” of a magnitude that “there is simply no calculating?”  Are you sure that’s not “sophistry?”  Don’t be “paranoid” now!

Basically, the Sallis narrative that the failed “movement” and its pitifully inept “leaders” squandered the massive opportunity of Trump and “right-wing populism” is confirmed not only by the article itself but also by Johnson’s quoted statement within.

Of course, it is possible Johnson denies communicating to Buzzfeed and making these statements.  Can we have clarification about that one way or the other?

The Amazon Polignano Tape

It’s Der Movement.

So I listened to an (approximately) one hour interview of Polignano (that I have safely downloaded) from the Amazon leak that was mentioned in The Guardian (see description here). I am not going to provide the link to the audio; all of you racially superior folk out there should be able to find it if a low IQ swarthoid Morlock like myself did. All the information you need is in The Guardian article.

I will, in outline form, summarize what I heard (note that the audio was somewhat difficult to hear at times, given background noise).

This interview took place in Hungary (presumably Budapest) shortly after the 2016 US Presidential Election and after New Year’s Day 2017 (but before Trump was sworn into office). This is confirmed in The Guardian article, as the woman, Carol Schaeffer (Liddell claims she is Jewish so I’ll go with that until evidence to the contrary is presented), states that it took place “in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, on 2 January 2017.” It was mentioned that they had spoken before the election and The Guardian mentioned multiple talks between the two.

It apparently took place in a restaurant of some sort, with background noise (music, talk). Although it was difficult to hear precisely what they ordered, the woman expressed interest in “shrimp with vegetarian” (sounds like an oxymoron) and Polignano it seems had goulash with mashed potatoes.

The woman had stayed in a hotel and then an Airbnb. She had previously spent a summer in Bosnia.

I note that throughout the tape the names of people (some publicly known, some not) were mentioned to this reporter.

The name “Daniel” was repeatedly mentioned, including “Daniel’s party” and that the woman had been invited. Is this Friberg?

Polignano wavers between naivete about the “sincere” Trump and skepticism.  He says that Bannon is “not one of us” in contrast to three people he names – Brimelow, Taylor, MacDonald.  Polignano’s inclusion of Brimelow is interesting given this.

When asked what the “true Alt Right” is Polignano mentions the NPI and then mumbles something else that I couldn’t make out.  Well, given the collapse of the Alt Right, a connection with the NPI certainly seems appropriate.

Polignano mentions his interactions with a Chinese female at one of his places of employment, a woman who thought he was gay, and he mentions a “gay mafia” at that company – all amusing given that a “gay mafia” also seems to exist within the “movement” that he has been associated with.

Around the half-way mark, Polignano states that he would not date that woman because she is Chinese, BUT – if I heard correctly – he stated that he has “had sex with people of different races” – but not with the intention of building a relationship with them. What the hell?  And even more to the point – why admit that to a (supposed) Jewess interviewing you (apart perhaps to give a hint toward her)?  Even more fundamentally, why be interviewed by the press to begin with, much less by a (supposed) Jewess?  

Polignano says he wants the information about having sex with other races “off the record”- too late for that now, as The Guardian outed the example he gives of the married Israeli Jewish woman in a polyamorous relationship. He states that he mistook her Israeli accent for a Swedish one (huh?).

Polignano talks about his associations with the National Alliance and David Duke.  Polignano states that the National Alliance ideals were that Jews were less than human but that he doesn’t believe that now. He stated that change in his views of Jews was based on interactions with individual Jews (like the one he was having sex with) connected with a character from Inglorious Bastards.  That’s great. Feeling confident about Der Movement?

Polignano claims that Counter-Currents was started to be “the NPR of the Right.” But  Polignano started disapproving of Johnson’s editorial decisions and then they had a “falling out” that was both personal and professional. Polignano also disapproved of Johnson associating with the anti-Semites of The Right Stuff, particularly as Polignano was involved in the aforementioned three year (2010-2013) relationship with this (married) Jewish woman that he claims affected him deeply.

The audio cut off after a little more than an hour although there was still talking going on.  There may be more files in the leaked materials than are not as readily available as this one, who knows?

In summary – what the hell is all of this?  Why speak to this (supposed) Jewess?  Why dish out all of this information?  Why was she invited – as she claims – to “Daniel’s party?”  Why would anyone in the Dissident Right have anything to do with her? Why was this recording saved by Counter-Currents?  As regards the last question, I will consider two hypotheses, and I note that these are hypotheses, questions, only, not definitive statements and I do not know the answers.  One hypothesis – as leverage to be used against Polignano?  But then how did they obtain it?  Another hypothesis – as evidence to be used by Polignano if the woman published something about him that was false and not on tape?  But if the latter, then why not keep the recording in your private records?  How did it end up with Counter-Currents?  It doesn’t make Johnson sound good and frankly it doesn’t make Polignano sound good at all. Again, why was it kept in the Counter-Currents Amazon cloud storage container (according to The Guardian)?  This is all bizarre. If, as The Guardian suggests, the woman shared the recording with Polignano as a courtesy, then it would seem most appropriate for it to remain in his own private files and not be shared with anyone. It makes no sense for it to be publicly posted at Counter-Currents for the reasons described, so why was it in those files?

Maybe I’m missing something. I do not want to be labeled as a “low information moralizer.”  Thus, Polignano and Johnson – separately or together – have an open invitation to appear on Western Destiny Radio to address this recording, to address the Amazon leak, and answer my questions.  If I am wrong about something, then please correct that.  If The Guardian is wrong, please correct that. Clear up all of these issues.

Until such time that an honest discussion occurs I have to draw a conclusion based upon what I heard. These people and Der Movement as a whole should be avoided at all costs. That these interviews took place at all is a tragicomedy, that a recording was put into the Amazon cloud extreme stupidity, that there was this leak a catastrophe.  Like I said, I am not going to share the link (even though it is in the public domain).  But there is an obligation to report all of this to the rank-and-file activists out there, so you can know what a pathetic embarrassment your “movement” is, and you can, hopefully, decide to avoid it and cut off its revenue streams.

To my mind the Amazon leak and the associated Polignano tape fits in with previous scandals like the Pilleater tape and the Hermansson and Lewis infiltrations. The main issue is not so much the direct damage done but what it says about the judgment – or complete lack thereof – of all of your “movement” “leaders” and their sycophants.  If you are a political soldier, do you sit down and “spill your guts” to a Butterface Jewess?  Do you give to the keys to the kingdom to a Swedish homosexual infiltrator, to the point of having him give a keynote address about…the dangers of infiltration?  Do you talk “movement” gossip for an hour and a half with Pilleater? As I wrote – Der Movement should be avoided.

How much more evidence do you need to conclude that Der Movement is a laughable catastrophe?  But, no. This will be ignored, like all the rest. You are all more hopeless than is Der Movement.

Mocking the White Ethnostate

Cuckson in the news.

Remember this?

Well, then, is this an open letter to Counter-Currents?

…white supremacy something much more obviously bad like trying to expel all non-whites from America in creating some kind of ethno state.

If that’s Joe Biden’s definition what exactly is the scope of this threat how many people are currently working on this American white ethnostate project and what are the chances they’re going to pull it off? Our guess is not very many and precisely zero

Expelling non-Whites and creating an ethnostate is “obviously bad.”  Not very many” people are currently working on this American white ethnostate project” and its chances of success are “precisely zero.” Well. Sort an extended middle finger to Der Movement, eh?

What’s next? Let’s see. Maybe another Counter-Currents post and/or livestream about Cuckson, tied of course to fundraising?”

When are all you suckers out there going to realize that Der Movement is simply an entertainment brand providing content in exchange for D’Nations?

Opinion on the White ethnostate?  But, we’re winning! The leading right-wing voice in America attacked and ridiculed the ethnostate idea, so….live in the Golden Age today! Do estate planning! Leave it all to Counter-Currents! Hurrah!

Deep State Hypothesis and Odds and Ends

Hypothesis and news.

My hypothesis is that at least some elements of the Deep State secretly agree with the Far Right that America is in deep decline and that the reasons for this decline are to a large extent due to race, demographics, and culture. And the same applies to Europe and the Anglosphere as a whole. However, the Deep State opposes the Far Right (its most deadly enemy) because while they agree on description they have incompatible prescriptive approaches.  In contrast to the radical approach of the Far Right, which seeks to overturn the System and create something new, the Deep State instead wishes to manage the decline. Perhaps the Deep State believes that the situation is not reversible and that attempts at radical change would be catastrophic or that even if the Far Right can succeed then the costs would outweigh the benefits (from the Deep State perspective). Remember, the Deep State cares about power and stability, not the interests of a particular Race-Culture. In addition, the Deep State represents entities – including themselves – that have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo; they believe, with justification, that their personal interests may not fare well with the sort of radical change, or attempts at change, the Far Right has in mind. Therefore, the Deep State wants to slow the decline if possible, integrate the alien elements to the extent possible, and squash resistance from Whites in general and from the Far Right in particular. They may believe that if they can slow the decline long enough, and hold off China long enough, Chinese demographic; social, and economic problems would restrain China from supplanting the decaying West.  They may hope that the USA stabilizes into a nuclear-armed North American version of Brazil, with the same elites in charge (supplemented with additional Colored elite members), with An Africanized Europe as an appendage, and a humbled Russia either as an appendage to the mongrel West or to an aging China. India they figure will never be organized enough to be an independent threat. They may believe that this is more “pragmatic” than the Far Right, but I am doubtful. An ideology of Authoritarian Wokeness likely cannot effectively manage American decline, and even a Brazilian outcome may be out of reach. The deeper cultures of Europe have less possibilities of effectively assimilating aliens than does the superficial materialistic “culture” of America.  And the threat of African population growth and uncontrolled migration cannot be managed by “clever pragmatism.” As the Deep State fails, they will increasingly target the Far Right opposition.  Regardless of what the “we are winning, just send more money” grifters tell you, the future looks grim.

Odds and Ends:

I think ultimately that Cuckson’s downfall revolved around around his criticism of the Ukraine war as well as the Jan. 6 footage thing. I suspect all of the talk of FOX and  lawsuits are window dressing. That’s my opinion, I could of course be wrong. But to delete the most popular news talk show in the entire country, and take the losses…serious pressure there

Der Movement goes from one Man on White Horse to another, each a disappointment. We had Trad Vlad and his “deep chess game,” which apparently includes Eurasianism and supporting anti-White Black nationalists. Then it was Chad, the “last hope for White America,” who wasted his Presidency tweeting and pardoning Black rappers. Then there was all the excitement over Cuckson mentioning “The Great Replacement” and “we have someone in the mainstream mentioning our ideas” – before he denounced White identity and then got fired. All this is expected since Der Movement is an utter failure whose leaders are good only at begging for money like a street corner panhandler.

Get ready for the “movement” switcheroo. First, it was that it is so great that Tucker Carlson talks about the Great Replacement, our ideas are infiltrating into the mainstream, we are winning, so please support us and us donations. Now, it’s that Carlson being deplatformed is terrible, he may never return, the System is winning, so we need support, send donations. In all cases – send donations. Meanwhile, once Carlson finishes his settlement negotiations, he should hold a press conference, denounce the growing authoritarianism of America, and announce his entry into politics.

Greg Johnson is so absolutely pathetic it is breathtaking. I was wondering how long it would take for him to use Carlson’s firing as an excuse for panhandling.

The idea that I have written for Counter-Currents in the past fills me with self-loathing. In my defense, they weren’t doing 24/7 begging back then.

See this. Der Movement weeps uncontrollably and descends into a complete nervous collapse. Determining the Jewishness of Hitler now may prove difficult. One could do careful autosomal DNA analyses of surviving Hitler relatives, related to Adolf through the paternal line, and ascertain if there are any signs of Ashkenazi ancestry consistent with a degree of admixture one would expect if Alois Hitler was half-Jewish. Of course, one would need to carefully determine the known genealogical trees of these surviving Hitler relatives to make sure the Jewish ancestry, if any, is not coming from other sources.

Meatball cucks. What a piece of shit that flabby wop is. Ronald DeCuckis made his decision of where his loyalties lie.  White Americans should do the same.

It is true that Der Right is not good at boycotts. But has Da Left really been put to the test in that regard recently? Corporations quickly cave in to the mere threat of a leftist boycott, since the corporations are typically “woke” themselves and do not want bad publicity from the leftist media and academia. Actual leftist boycotts are really not necessary, certainly not sustained for any length of time. On the other hand, corporations are willing to call the bluff of Der Right, who has no one in their corner. Indeed, corporations will be praised for defying Der Right. Further, it is in theory easier for Da Left to boycott in those (rare) instances they actually may do so, since it is simple to find other companies that offer the same product or service and who are more congenial to leftist politics. Where can Der Right go? What products and services are manifestly rightist? Well, this is a good start, and there may be a few others, but one must admit that rightist corporations are very rare, while leftist ones are the norm.
