America’s neo-Nazis don’t look to Germany for inspiration. They look to Russia.
The Washington Post ^ | August 22 | Casey Michel

Posted on 08/25/2017 2:59:58 AM PDT by Vostok-1

America’s white nationalists may bear swastikas, raise Nazi salutes and cheer for the protection of “Blut und Boden” (blood and soil) for all to see. They may say “Heil Trump!” and laud the legacy of American Nazi Party founder George Lincoln Rockwell.

But for these American white supremacists, it’s not Nazi Germany to which they look.

It’s Russia.

The Amazon Post would have been right at home in Goebbels' Germany, Pol Pot's killing fields, and Mao's Cultural Revolution nightmare.

Shades of Boris Betanoff.

I stopped being amazed by the idiocy of the WaPo years ago. It was just too exhausting. But I do have a simple question for them - How could the American neo-Nazis be following Russia when it was the self-avowed Communists that started the riot against the Nazis?

More appropriately the Stalinist purges in Europe and Russia

In general, if you read to the American neo-Nazi the 1932 political platform of the German Nazi Party....loaded with extreme socialist ‘gifts’ and promises...they’d tell you right away that they aren’t that kind of Nazi. So you’d ask what variation they are, and it just gets more confusing.

The same gimmick if you go to some anti-capitalist protest and they state they are for pure socialism....but they can’t really explain how you’d do away with capitalism and reach pure socialism.

They are all confused, as far as I can grasp it.

Your comment makes me think (if it is any relevant) of how a book apparently written by someone from the Jews For the Preservation of Firearms Rights group compared the 1938 Nazi Germany gun control law with the 1968 US Gun Control Act that the LBJ administration created and passed and found that some passages of the 1968 American law looked to be exactly lifted from the 1938 one. I’ve always wanted to add that book to my personal library.

I think Russia is just cultivating something there. That is why they gave Spencer that Russian bride and allow him into their RT and Sputniknews networks.

As Dugin wrote in his 1997 book:

Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke “Afro-American racists”. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics.”

I was not familiar with Dugin until just now, but I believe it’s irrelevant.

Why?

I’m less concerned about forces without than forces within.

Machiavelli may be considered the father of political science and have written on the topic of “manipulation by division,” but it was American Edward Bernays which really brought the concept of manipulation of the public - particularly through polarization - to the forefront of American shadow government.

We live in this environment today, nearly 100 years hence, most people blissfully-unaware that they’re being manipulated...

...and the irony of this ComPost article is not lost on this man (particularly given that I’m writing a speech about the topic at-hand this very week).

If the Russians truly wanted to destabilize this country, it would foment unrest against the government itself, not empowering the current paradigm controlling our population by fomenting divisions already being used to great effect.

The Russian narrative gets old, both from the left & the right. It, too, (ironically and most-pertinent) is a tool of manipulation.

The Compost never complained when millions of Bolsheviks from Russia invaded the USA in the guise of Jewish persecution.

The American Civil Liberties Union, Southern Poverty Law Center, Center For American Progress, The Sierra Club, and all George Soros think tanks are run by Bolsheviks, spit.

Who is this man? Real Nazi, or paid actor?

I have only seen ONE Nazi flag from the C-ville rally, carried by one guy. This one flag seems to be the entire basis for calling C-ville a "neo-Nazi rally." Are there any photos of more than one Nazi flag, carried by this one guy?

If he's an actor, this is one of the most brilliant uses of agitprop in history.

The Post is nuts. The only thing that may be true is that, when Russia was the USSR, the Soviets tried to foment separatist movements in PR back in the 1960s, which led to the bombing of Fraunces Tavern in NYC.

But the rest of it is fantasy. Russia had a huge abortion rate under the Soviets and actually did manage to deplete its supply of native-born Russians. So encouraging native Russians to have more babies is hardly a racist act. Countries need citizens if they are going to remain countries.

The WP forgot the “...women and minorities hurt the most” line.
Who makes up this nonsense?

Russia currently has a much stronger nationalist (call it NAZI if you will) movement than Germany. Poland as well, ironically.

russia, russia, russia!

WaPo figures out a way to work russia back into their Bizzarro World fantasy now that their Democrat overloads have told the enemedia to back off of the “russian conspiracy” nonsense since it wasn’t playing in Peria.
