The cancellation of the American Renaissance conference should serve as a wake up call to white advocates around the country. As the thuggish and chubbish Daryle Lamont Jenkins of One People’s Project so accurately points out, this was a conference whose proceedings once aired on CSPAN. Now it is shut down because of threats of murderous violence and we can assume that there will be no police investigation, no arrests, and no legal recourse. As Sam Francis outlined for us in his concept of anarcho-tyranny, the law simply does not apply to entire groups of people, even as it is ever more tyrannically enforced against loyal white Americans.
There are several conclusions we can draw from all this. One is the transformation of so called anti-fascists into de facto arms of officialdom. Far from being anarchists or even leftists, we see the spectacle of anarchists championing a government report that calls the mild mannered Jared Taylor a terrorist and warning us that if we associate with him it will be difficult to get a security clearance. While I suppose we should thank our anti-system radical friends for looking out for our reputation with the Department of Homeland Security, it certainly shows the real nature of power in this society. College kids dressing up to play “antifa” risk nothing, and know it. Nor have they had any success in their self professed goals of socialism or economic justice, if they even really believe it. While they can certainly get in our way, their existence does not disturb the sleep of the political elites and financial barons they claim to oppose. In fact, they serve as an indispensable support. As One People’s Project recently featured Goldman Sachs frontman Barack Obama on their homepage, they to some extent know this.
All of those in our movement, who engage in any level, are taking tremendous risks. The strategy of anti-fascists is to increase the costs of involvement to the point that people fear not just to take action but to even think forbidden thoughts or associate with those who do. More importantly, as we saw with the attack on James O’Keefe, the target is not the person themselves but the political networks, institutions, and professional colleagues that provide activists with support. The objective was not to makes James O’Keefe stop doing what he’s doing but to make sure “respectable” conservatives run screaming from anything he touches. The actual facts of the allegation do not matter, but leftists simply throw enough mud and hope that it sticks. This is straight out of Rules for Radicals (p. 144 in fact). The point is that a person’s friends and colleagues will not want to be associated with him simply because of the trouble it brings, regardless of the truth or falsity of the assertions. As a result, the left can coolly disable and dismantle the right’s most effective activists, with hapless conservatives falling all over each other in their willingness to surrender, as long as they are left alone.
This kind of repression is also escalating at an official level, with the laughable inclusion of Jared Taylor as a terrorist by the state of Virginia and reports by the Department of Homeland Security warning of a dire threat by right wing extremists. For the first time, there is a real danger that British style police repression could be used against racial realists.
This occurs even as “implicit” white movements such as the Tea Parties are growing in strength and number, to the outrage and concern of the liberal establishment. Ignoring the actual content of the protests (mostly harmless fluff about fiscal conservatism), the leftist counterattack consists – predictably – of charges of racism, based on the grounds that the tea parties are made up overwhelmingly of white people. These days, that is sufficient grounds for suspicion. It can also be suspected that the Tea Partiers and conservatives will respond by allowing far left groups and antifa to set the terms of the debate for them. Certainly, there will be tremendous pressure from libertarians and others to keep the immigration issue out of any Tea Party rhetoric. This will allow the Left to keep white advocates isolated from their constituency and keeping the emerging populist movement toothless and wedded to a Republican Party establishment that will use their votes and discard them. As always, the Left understands the Right better than the Right understands itself.
White advocates are not just opponents of the system – we are the only opponents of the system. The real question is how we operate in such a challenging environment without falling into the dead ends of the past. The good news is that our objectives are actually quite clear. We must engage with the emerging opposition to the current political and financial order and resist any attempts to force us back into the familiar WN ghetto. We must build institutions that can engage all along the political spectrum and train our activists in effective political technology rather than in engaging in the amateurish efforts of the past. Every one of our activists must be doing something productive. Finally, we must support those institutions that already exist. I will return to this question of what is to be done in the days to come. For now, I stand with American Renaissance and will pledge what I can. I encourage you all to do the same.

Hunter,
They are doing this because they are getting weaker, they are losing their grip on leveraged power.
The compliance of the Whites masses since the end of WWII has been based on a growing economy. THEY understand this lever of compliance is now ENDING. It’s that dog-gone simple.
They shut down the Amren conference for the same reason a dog licks its balls — because THEY CAN. The veil of a Constitutional Republic falls off, the Jewish tyranny is revealed.
Shutting down Amren and targeted assassinations in Pakistan with guided missiles only differs by degree. We live inside enemy territory.
Stay out of the claws of law enforcement. Keep fighting. They are losing their leverage, while our collective consciousness awakens from the growth economy anaesthesia.

Kievsky, you’re delusional. You have no clue what’s going on. Ridiculous and weak, indeed! “Gee, I sure hope we find some way to defeat the totalitarians.”
Welcome Mr. Hood
Good article.
Guess what? According to this Stormfront thread, the AmRen Conference is back on.
Reloader,
Historically, the totalitarians defeat themselves. This is the late stage, mad-dog phase of Empire. We have to try to live through it.
By the way, looks like the Amren conference is back on.
“growth economy anaesthesia.”
The basic, and more fundamental, anesthesia, is thought control/censorship/monopoly of information.
I got the text message a few minutes ago. Huzzah!
Hunter – this all might have been a brilliant misdirection play by Jared Taylor to sucker the antifa into a premature celebration. DLJ was planning to style and profile on his radio program at 8 P.M. EST tonight (details on Niksnest).
Wonder what Daryle the Baryle will have to say for himself now?
Good article Gregory.
AmRen ought to at least use this as an opportunity for gaining more publicity as others have suggested…good idea.

It helps to bear in mind that unidirectional, anti-white activism has itself been institutionalized for decades. The street actors are hapless lumpenprole or working class volunteers, but above them, like an inverted pyramid, is a massive non-producer managerial overclass hierarchy composed of everything from academics and investors, to lawmakers and attorneys. This is the biggest political collective today.
Good essay. I hope to see more of your work in the future.
I agree we need to start taking much more advantage of our right to peacefully assemble and demand justice for Whites. That seems to be what the other side truly fears — groups of Whites PHYSICALLY gathering somewhere for political or other purposes.
The other side doesn’t seem to care as long as we stay confined to the Internet. But Whites assembling in the real world appears to really disturb them.
I’m with KIevsky @ #1! The fact that our opponents currently have power doesn’t speak to who is winning this struggle. Yes we are very weak at the moment, things change, time passes, and on rare occasion the meek kick some ass!

They’re going to lose their paychecks. The economic contraction is going to be especially brutal on the “non-producer” class. For my part, I’m ready to go into full time hand tool farming when the conventional economy dries up.
But it’s going to be great when the civil rights attorneys, diversity officers, and professors of multiculturalism are no longer getting paid. No potatoes for them!
According to AMren’s website the conference is back on.
This is a typical conversation about the tea parties:
“Tea parties aren’t racist.” “Oh yeah, how come they are all white?”
Just being white in a group of whites makes you racist.
WP,
I have the authors plugin on my to do list. I’ve been so busy today that I haven’t had the time to add the new features.
This is just an opinion and I hope I’m wrong but I’ve always been suspicious about American Renaissance and it’s inclusion of Jews into its membership. Jared Taylor seems to get way more press than David Duke or Don Black from an accomodating media. Some of the stories including one they ran two days ago about the Israeli Ambassador being heckled by muslims on a college campus, are not White race issues and have a decidedly zionist slant to them. Now we have these attacks on the AMREN Conference, shutting it down temporarily. The whole thing stinks the same way liberals attack neocon stooge Sarah Palin, to get conservatives to rally to her side. I don’t have any proof of course, it’s just a strange feeling I have. When you have a site that censors any criticism of Jews, it gives you insight into who is really running the show.
Just being white in a group of whites makes you racist.
That’s the standard now. The Vanity Fair cover with all white women has some “people” up in arms they tell us. Oh really, let’s see who these people are. Insane Leftists, Jews and blacks with no life other than to harangue whites.
Morgan,
Jared decided very early on to maintain a principled agnosticism on the Jewish Question. Honestly, I trust him because I’ve followed his work for years and years and years and I have never been given any reason to suspect his sincerity. But there are a lot of secondary indications that he’s not operating a front group. The most important one is that he’s followed a principled refusal to deal with the issue through hell from both directions.
The amicable relationships with anti-Semites, the Hart/Preserving Western Civilization/Ian Jobling fiasco, and his principled refusal to leverage respect for his group by attacking anti-Semitic White Nationalists all point toward his alleged story being the actual story.

Deranged Keith Olbermann made another “special comment” on “racism,” saying “prejudice and discrimination still sit, defeated, dormant, or virulent, somewhere in the soul of each white man in this country.” As James Edwards says, racist means white person.
Olbermann, like other extreme Leftists, take the Christian idea of original sin and pervert it against whites, claiming we’re all racists from birth. We’re in a fallen state and constantly need to strive for diversity and disparage our own race and history. It’s a sick, masochistic ideology. This is what they’re teaching white kids at many schools, Bodeker includes his own experience with this in his documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_NUGl2lZao.

I’ve been thinking this same thing, especially now that it’s “game on!” again for the conference. Looks a little too much like a nice little show being put on for the goyim.

Does being called a racist actually bother anyone here anymore? Seriously.
The word is music to my ears, as it presents an opportunity to ramble on about my pet topic in the context of defending myself from an accusation. Neither man nor beast can muster the patience to outlast me in a conversation about race. I have to try to hold back a broad smile before asking, “Racist? Can you define that for me?”
It’s impossible to define ‘racism’ without sounding retarded, so hilarity ensues.
Like I said I don’t have any proof but I do hear strange things about their AMREN conferences. It seems to be an odd collection of “conservative” Jews and gays, asianphiles, wiccans, feminists, etc., the whole muliticulty lot plus ordinary people who don’t have a clue what’s going on. They ran a story awhile back about some speakers and members at these things showing up with their nonwhite wives. Honestly, that’s like showing up at a cancer benefit and smoking cigarettes. I had an internet pal send me an email that Jared Taylor dated asian women at one time. I hope I’m just being paranoid and that these are just smears from people trying to derail progress but only a fool would believe that the jews haven’t co-opted some of our organizations for thier own purposes.
Principled?
Yeah, dude, principled. Based on pragmatic principles such as if whites don’t care particularly much about their race or the role of race in civilization they’re hardly going to care about getting correct the ten thousand details of the Jewish role in its decline; or the similarly pragmatic principle that if “WN” is going to accept everyone from the entire European “continent” then it’s pointless to single out Jews (who are often whiter than many ethnic Europeans).
You don’t like that, then go put together your own little org that remains committed to death to a set of principles attractive to some 5% of your target market.
Silver, go back to Australia where wogs belong! Oh, wait, never mind.
Choose love, not hate, Cap. Love wins.
Silver has a point. The vast majority of mainstream White Nationalists do not adhere to the Jared Taylor philosophy when it comes to Jews. It’s Stormfront that has a huge following on the internet, not American Renaissance. I read that story mentioned by Morgan on Taylor’s website and it’s shamefully zionistic in its writing. I’ve posted six comments about it including that it is better fit for consumption by Rush Limbaugh listeners and better suited to the pages of National Review rather than American Renaissance. None of them made it into print. It would be nice if Jared Taylor would allow real time posting like Occidental Dissent does but that would defeat the purpose of controlling the content and squashing any opposition. At some point Mr. Taylor is going to have to get off the fence and start criticizing his opponents or embrace true White Nationalism because the two different ideologies are incompatible with each other and compromise is impossible. I suspect he’ll take the Jewish side after which his organization will lose its legitamacy.
@silverstein, like the fact of disproportionate and nearly monopolistic “elite” jewish involvement in the political, social, academic, and economic disenfranchisement of whites in their own nations. Sure, we’re going to ignore the principle architects of our misery on principle. Well Jared Taylor might. I for one side with JUDEN RAUS.
