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?

Odds and Ends, 4/23/24

In der news.

People, including on the Dissident Right, underestimate how much someone’s ideology is a part of their personal identity, and therefore how hard it is for people to substantially change that ideology because that is in essence a rejection of self. Yes, of course, some people do change. But much of that change is within a socially acceptable spectrum – someone goes from being a traditional leftist liberal in youth to a kosher conservative aracial civic nationalist conservative when older, in both cases rejecting the importance of race and of a deep civilizational bond. Dissident Righters who did make the jump from aracial to racial belieeve it is common or possibly could be common just with the right “memes and explanations.” They don’t realize that they are the exception to the rule, and to get White people, including aracial civic nationalist right-wingers, to make the jump to racial nationalism is a tough nut to crack, even with their vaunted (and biased) “polling data.” This is particularly true given how repulsive, retarded, and reactionary Der Movement is. Who would de facto question their personal identity for that?

I wonder – how many of the “young Italian-Americans” supporting stupid and destructive ethnic ideas are actually ethnic Italians? Likely no more than half (maybe less). No offense to anyone but it is my belief that membership in any specifically ethnic organization (of whatever ethnicity) should be strictly restricted to purebreds. Hybrids can be supporters, but they cannot be allowed to make or influence policy. Besides the fact that they are not of the group and that they may have divided loyalties, there’s other behavioral issues at play. Someone of mixed ethnic ancestry who identifies with one part of their ancestry may try and over-compensate and be a complete jackass, promoting bizarre hyper-ethnic memes that cut off the ethny from membership in large groupings. Try-hard hybrids cannot be allowed to do this.

Please watch from about 5:50 to 6:30, for a mention of Richard Spencer and Unite the Right, with Tucker Carlson saying that Spencer is “a liberal who hates Christianity.” Now, no doubt some anti-Spencer midwits in the Dissident/Far Right will see that as a good thing (“take that, Spencer”) as well as having nothing to do with them. Unfortunately for them and the “we’re winning” delusion they peddle to gullible donors, the mass of right-leaning “normies” out there make no distinction between Spencer and the anti-Spencers. Like it or not, the fine distinctions that people “on the inside” of the Dissident Right make between all of the actors (past and present) in the “scene” are unknown to all of the Carlson viewers out there, who bin all of these people together as “bad, anti-Christian freaks who are against Christianity and are not true ‘conservatives.”

So, when Carlson and his guest “diss” Spencer they are also “dissing” everyone else on the Dissident Right, who are not “winning” but losing badly. And if they don’t like the damage that they claim Spencer has done, they should focus their attention on the “movement” system that enabled the rise of Spencer. But, alas, they cannot do that because the same system enabled their own meritless rise.

The Quota Queens say I am some sort of apologetic advocate for Italians; this is the reality.  Also, please read this.

A Gab correspondent has told me that he tried to answer the anti-Italian comments at Amren and so far the comments seem censored.  Comments were something like:

Hey Nonracialistsupremacist, aren’t you Truthgiverofhumanity, that South Asian commenter who really loves blonde women? It’s interesting that a non-White would come to a site like Amren to promote Nordicism. Whatever could be the reason?”

Why is Amren running an article that attacks Italians when all Europeans are under threat, and White racial unity is needed now more than ever?

Will these comments eventually get through moderation? If not, why not? Regardless of that, Italians take note of the endless hostility toward you from Der Movement.  No, it is not your imagination; Der Movement really does hate you.

The Quota Queens continue to deny the affirmative action program, even though the Amren scenario makes quite clear that it would be impossible for a full-blooded Southern Italian to ever have a top leadership role in Der Movement, regardless of their qualifications. On the other hand, inept WASPs are continuously propped up.

Italian-Americans (and other White ethnics, but particularly Italians) who are interested in pro-White activism have a choice – they can be humiliated subaltern low caste stepandfetchits for Der Movement or they can help build a New Movement in which all persons of European ancestry are respected. So far, they choose the former and reject the latter.

IMPORTANT 1/2/24

IMPORTANT.

What about the Eloi Question?

The 2010s, for example, witnessed the emergence of what might be termed an ironic anti-Semitism that focused heavily on flamboyant dark comedy. Many individuals, drawn heavily from the gaming community, who otherwise had little knowledge or direct experience of the Jewish Question, encountered anti-Semitism as little more than a genre of trolling. Blending with the incel sub-culture, and other corners of grievance within our decaying culture, these “anti-Semites for fun” interacted with anti-Semitism with their own ulterior motives…

OK.  But who was it who openly embraced the Alt Right?  Taylor, Johnson, MacDonald, Liddell, and of course Spencer.

See this.

And this.

And this.

And this.

Who was it who critiqued the Alt Right, from early days?

See this, me from Feb. 2017, already attacking the Alt Right.

Johnson attacked me for that, calling me a crank.

Me from Dec 2016.

And earlier –

See this.

And this.

Important warning from September 2016.

Also see this.

Who was right?  Who was wrong?  It is IMPORTANT not to let all of this fall into the “memory hole.”  The Quota Queens have a proven track record of bad judgment.  Others have a similar record of good judgment.

After it became apparent that the Trump presidency was going to be an anti-climax for both trolls and political dissidents…

Yes, and I called Trump a buffoon and a fraud even before the 2016 election while the Quota Queens were calling him “the last chance for White America” and were lauding him well after the election.

Affirmative action has consequences.  Banning and blacklisting the few people on the Far Right who have any sense and any good judgment, while embracing morons, will give you more endless failure.

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.
