Greetings and Introduction

Greetings!  My name is Andrew Yeoman and the publishers of this blog have invited me to contribute to Occidental Dissent.  I am quite honored to be here and look forward to contributing additional perspectives to this site.

I’m sure some Occidental Dissent readers are familiar with who I am but for the rest of you I thought an introduction would be in order.

I will start with a bit of a caveat: I am not a white nationalist.

Now settle down, don’t get bent out shape just yet and hear me out.

A few years ago I moved to California.  Why on Earth would any sane white male do that you ask?  Well I had my reasons and they all seemed good enough to me at the time to make a cross country move to a land I had never visited before.  I landed in San Francisco and began building a new life.  Things were going well for me with my career of choice on track, beautiful girlfriend, and a fun and frequently interesting city to explore.  However over time there were many aspects of the city that bothered me.  I began developing questions in my mind.  Why were the once magnificent 1920’s era movie theatres in ruins?  Why were city streets named after Germans or English names dominated by Hispanics and Asians?  Why were blacks given such a privileged status in social events?  Why was it that it was impossible to go to a restaurant that did not have Mexican workers?  Why was I able to hear a dozen Asian languages on the bus but never English?  Why were the residents reading newspapers in Mandarin and not English?  And just what the hell is with a city endorsing public gay sex?

These and other questions troubled me.  When searching for words to describe what San Francisco must of been like before its modern incarnation I came up with the phrase “the city of San Francisco is a skeleton of a once great people.”

Eventually I turned to resources online where I knew I could find other people who shared these views.

I came to these conclusions while morally, ideologically, and politically active as an anarchist for all of my adult life.  I have put time, energy, countless hours, and sometimes, great personal risk, devoted to a cause to “smash the state” and rid peoples lives of this green colored paper called money that they fought and killed for.

It was my belief then as now that such a project is possible, inevitable even, due to systematic failures or the will of the people to declare the State as no longer required for their existence.  I realize this makes me sound like an idealist and that in the modern world, the anarchist platform may not be practical to carry out in every instance and in every locale.  However I feel that the risk of anarchist failure to manage human needs effectively can be no less worse than what is happening today on a global scale.

Eventually I discovered the synthesis of ideas that would change my life forever.  In the late 1990’s out of the ashes of the Third Positionist movement in Europe developed a revolutionary conjecture: that nationalism- the self determination of a people- and anarchism- rule without government or money could be combined to make National-Anarchism: an anarchism beyond both the left and the right yet contains elements of both.

Interestingly these ideas have been suggested in the past by such acclaimed thinkers as Ernst Junger and Julius Evola.  Other figures presaged a National-Anarchism such as Italian futurist Gabriele D’Annunzio who in 1919 with an army of anarchists, fascists, and Italian navy assets created a pirate “Republic of Fiume” across the Adriatic sea and planned to “give it” to Italy.

In 2007 I met the German national Welf Herfurth in San Francisco who shared his vision of what National Anarchism was meant to be.  Welf was a lifelong German nationalist and had in recent years come to the conclusion that the nationalism he promoted in his youth was a dead end.  That in many cases nationalists were themselves to blame for holding back the implementation of the ideas they held dear.  Among other things Welf believes it necessary to work with all sorts of people to achieve mutually desired goals.  Through many long walks up and down the hills the of San Francisco we discussed these ideas and his experiences traveling around the world.  I came to the belief that National Anarchism needed to reach more people and in the days after our meeting I set out to do just that and formed the Bay Area National Anarchists (BANA).

Now I won’t get into all the details of what we have been doing for the last three years as that would exceed my intent in writing this article.  But needless to say I am proud to have been told by others that what we are doing is innovative and that we are representing the disenfranchised white people in the Bay Area who have no voice in the government and who are ignored by the media, and are developing a community that can be the bridge to the next level of our struggle in our local communities.  The definitive history of our movement has yet to be written for it is being lived in the present.

In writing for the Occidental Dissent it is my sincere wish to share, learn, and grow with OD readers, commentators, and fellow bloggers as we go through a critical phase in the development of representing  beleaguered and downtrodden white Americans.

Thank you.

  1. I will start with a bit of a caveat: I am not a white nationalist.

    I KILL YOU LEMMING SCUM

    In all seriousness, welcome aboard. I’ve seen your writing elsewhere and I think you’ve got a lot to offer pro-whites.

  2. Welcome aboard, Andrew!

    It’s great to have a National Anarchist voice on OD, and I have no doubt that we shall all benefit from the presence of an energetic, boots-on-the-ground tribal organiser like yourself.

  3. Welcome, Andrew.

    *I believe you were largely involved with helping Epic Beard Man out with his potential legal troubles back in February, correct? More ‘props’ to you!!

  4. I read about you on AltRight and I must admit that my first impression was a composite of Steven Segal, a skinhead, an anarchist and a social worker. Then I realized that this might not be a bad combination at all.

    I’m not sure that I’m 100 % with your game plan, but I think that National Anarchism is a valuable component in the Grand Alliance that must be forged to save the White peoples of this world.

  5. Andrew,

    Welcome aboard. We’ve pitched a big tent here. OD has Christians and Odinists, National Socialists and Neo-Confederates, H. Rock White and Denise, Nordicists and Anti-Nordicists, etc. You get the picture.

  6. Welcome Andrew! This is a great blog collective.

    By the way, is BANA doing anything along the lines of adult home schooling or study groups? If so, I can offer basic help with starting in the IT field, and I am a teacher of Russian language, which I can do via Skype. Also, if someone in your collective wants to go into a medical field, they can learn a lot of basic math and science from http://www.khanacademy.org

  7. I will start with a bit of a caveat: I am not a white nationalist.

    Perhaps you will expound on this in a future post. Why you are not a White nationalist and why it isn’t the answer?

    You have a pleasant personality and charisma, qualities that a good leader should possess.

    Dr. Tom Sunic interviews Andrew Yeoman.

    The term national anarchism dates back as far as the 1920s but it has been primarily redefined and popularized since the 1990s by British post-Third-Position ideologue Troy Southgate to promote a radical anti-capitalist and anti-communist agenda of establishing a pan-national network of politically meritocratic, economically secessionist, and ecologically sustainable village-communities, which practice racial, ethnic, religious and sexual separatism as a means to achieve “authentic cultural diversity”.

    National-anarchists advocate a model of society in which communities that practice racial, ethnic, religious or sexual nepotism and separatism are able to coexist alongside mixed or integrated communities without requiring force.

    I disagree with this. As some degree of force, at least mental, cultural force, is required to mold people and keep their society intact. Laws and physical force are just extensions of that. Geographic separation and the enforcement of it is necessary for the longterm survival of our race in the modern world.

  8. Anarchism in the United States has always been just another Jewish movement. The late Abbie Hoffman would be a good example of a “national” anarchist. LOL.

    “that nationalism- the self determination of a people- and anarchism- rule without government or money could be combined to make National-Anarchism: an anarchism beyond both the left and the right yet contains elements of both.”

    Jews like Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman & Abbie Hoffman would have said right on to the above.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Goldman

    Hunter, you gotta be kiddin’ us…

  9. Andrew Yeoman and the Bay Area National Anarchists are very good people, very imaginative, and they do, instead of just complain.
    The term “anarchist” repels many/most middle aged White Americans, but so what? We need White youth and Whites who still think and act like youths to have something that appeals to them.
    I look forward to Andrew Yeoman and Bay Area National Anarchists causing some trouble and getting in the face of certain Hollywood elites.
    Anybody here want to hang out with the Hollywood elites on Malibu beach or in Aspen and try to bond with them about politics, Goldman Sachs stock options? I didn’t think so.
    Keep up the great work Andrew.

  10. This whole Jewish world, comprising a single exploiting sect, a kind of blood sucking people, a kind of organic destructive collective parasite, going beyond not only the frontiers of states, but of political opinion, this world is now, at least for the most part, at the disposal of Marx on the one hand, and of Rothschild on the other… This may seem strange. What can there be in common between socialism and a leading bank? The point is that authoritarian socialism, Marxist communism, demands a strong centralisation of the state. And where there is centralisation of the state, there must necessarily be a central bank, and where such a bank exists, the parasitic Jewish nation, speculating with the Labour of the people, will be found. — Mikhail Bakunin, Russian anarchist

    The Jew is the enemy of the human race. This race must be sent back to Asia, or exterminated. H. Heine, A. Weil, and others are simply secret spies. Rothschild, Crémieux, Marx, Fould, evil choleric, envious, bitter men etc., etc., who hate us. — Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, French political theorist, first person to ever call himself an anarchist

    Not condoning such comments or suggesting that any National Anarchists endorse such comments either, but maybe some should be a bit more careful in claiming that all anarchism is another Jewish plot.

  11. Names carry a lot of significant impact, both pro & con. The psychological effect of loaded words like ‘anarchist’, ‘nazi’, ‘racist’ etc. are important, and ideologically explosive. They always need to be used deftly and wisely for tactical and strategic reasons, when dealing with an English speaking population.

  12. OD has more readers in California than any other state. Still more of our readers are ex-Californians. I’m glad to see Annie Oakley and Andrew Yeoman posting here.

  13. “”When searching for words to describe what San Francisco must of been like before its modern incarnation I came up with the phrase “the city of San Francisco is a skeleton of a once great people.”””

    I don’t know if you’ve ever seen this of if it has ever been posted here before but this worth a gander.

    A Trip Down Market Street Before the Fire 1905

    Pictures San Francisco’s main thoroughfare as seen from the front window of a moving Market Street cable car, before the downtown area was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire. This unusual record has been called the first “structural film” because it follows exactly the externally imposed structure of the car ride.

  14. Thank you Hunter: I’m going to still help my tribe until the last day of my life here in California.

    I’ve met Andrew personally. He’s a good guy with a good heart. He does quite a few things for our tribe and I love that.

    Andrew has also passed out hygiene kits to white homeless people and actually talks to them.

    He also helped the Epic Bearded man who IMO is a folk hero to white men. When no one else stepped up to the plate, Andrew did. I saw that video of Epic Beard man pound that arrogant negro over and over again. So many times whites will sulk and cower, this guy didn’t and kicked ass!

    I personally love the term anarchism. What we have in place (the system) isn’t working, is broke and needs to dismantle. The sooner the better.

  15. I agree with Tom Watson on this one. Andrew has stated many times that he was against Whites having a land of their own, that’s all i need to know quite frankly.

    Also this description says it all : “National-anarchists advocate a model of society in which communities that practice racial, ethnic, religious or sexual nepotism and separatism are able to coexist alongside mixed or integrated communities without requiring force.”

    Isn’t that what the pro-immigration crowds are dreaming about? I think after 50-60 years of multiracialism people would have realised it will never work.Or perhaps Andrew will enlighten us on how it’s done. Why should we want this when it will mean our extinction and a very bleak future for our children is beyond me though…

    In any case welcome to the real right Andrew, hope you can prove me wrong about your views.

  16. “…and anarchism- rule without government or money could be combined to make National-Anarchism”

    🙂 LOL. Right on bro…

    Remember when Jewish national anarchist Jerry Rubin showed up for a Congressional hearing with a “real” AR-15 assault rifle? There are photographs of that stunt by Rubin.

  17. Jerry Rubin, along with other iconic 60s figures was a yippie, not a National Anarchist. Although Rubin was Jewish he was not a Jewish Anarchist or Israeli Anarchist as the terms are used today.

    National Anarchism does not stem from the yippie counterculture although I think some of their stunts are quite hilarious.

  18. The movement started in California with the passage of Proposition 187 (1994), which would have denied services to certain folks.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_187_(1994) Scroll down to see which which counties passed 187 (green), and which did not (red). The reds were near the Bay Area- ALL the other counties passed 187.
    Look to Southern California for the war to start. btw 187 was overturned by a female jew-judge (mariana pfaelzer).
    San Francisco sucks. . .

  19. “OD has more readers in California than any other state.”

    Could that be because we Californians are on the cutting edge of Ragnarok?

  20. ‘The term “anarchist” repels many/most middle aged White Americans, but so what?’

    I note that Californians are very likely to hear “anarchist” and think “loving, fluffy, bearded, respectful of other folks’ highest spiritual needs.”

    I look forward to Andrew Yeoman’s contributions to Occidental Dissent.

  21. Well at least you are or appear to be sympathetic to the pro-white cause. Concerning anarchism, I don’t think it’s the best path for whites especially in an embryonic ethnostate. I’m of the belief that we’ll always need some semblance of a state with the degree of centralized power a matter for spirited debate.

  22. It’s great to see you at OD, Andrew Yeoman. (It seems like you and BANA have been popping up everywhere lately!) I get the impression you’re a very hard worker, and I commend you for stepping up to the plate–like Hunter Wallace–in terms of real-world leadership and networking.

    Hunter and Kievsky have expressed this idea before, and it’s so simple (and vital) it tends to get lost in plain sight: The most important form of “activism” is the cultivation of face-to-face friendships.

    It’s amazing to think how much can be accomplished at the local level through simple fraternization. If a handful of pro-Whites in a given area find the courage to meet offline for fun and recreation–Voilà!–a social network is born. Tribes and in-groups are all about resource control, as the good Dr. K’Mac makes clear. Professional networking and nepotism alone account for half of Jewry’s success, with the same being true for the Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans. (IQ accounts for the other half.)

    Pro-Whites are a highly intelligent and educated set. We could achieve much in terms of money and power simply by forming unofficial clubs to “positively discriminate” among ourselves for job tip-offs, contracts, promotions, and hiring. It certainly hasn’t hurt the Jews, Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Indians, Vietnamese etc…

  23. If anybody thinks that the problems in this world can only be fixed by white people or white nationalists, then they have a problem. If anybody thinks that fixing the worlds problem by white power demonstrations and wondering why they feel they are banging their heads against the wall , well it is because they are……

    National Anarchism advocates working with likeminded groups together that wants to build self-reliant, autonomous communities and preserve the identity and culture.

    Therefore we National Anarchism are NOT a white nationalist organisation, but an organisation that gives every race and culture the right to exist and to defend their identity in the face of globalisation.

    National Anarchism respects other races and cultures have the right of existence, but we demand the same right for us.

    National Anarchism is a new road ahead, with new perspectives and ideas, not driven by the thought that the white men is the only good thing on earth and the other races are less worthy then the white people. I can tell you that there are a lot of white people that are scum and a lot of Asian people that I rather talk to then white people.

    Good on Andrew to be strong and steadfast. BANA is a innovative and exciting group and a lot of people should take them as examples on how things can get done and not condemn them because they are do not or do not want to understand what National Anarchism is all about.

  24. @26

    Are you the same Dave Mazzella who testified against Tom Metzger in Portland?

    At the trial, WAR national vice president Dave Mazzella testified how the Metzgers instructed WAR members to commit violence against minorities. Tom and John Metzger were found civilly liable under the doctrine of vicarious liability, in which one can be liable for a tort committed by a subordinate or by another person who is taking instructions. The jury returned the largest civil verdict in Oregon history at the time—$12.5 million—against Metzger and WAR.[14] The Metzgers’ house was seized, and most of WAR’s profits go to paying off the judgment. – Wikipedia

  25. Welf: ”

    Therefore we National Anarchism are NOT a white nationalist organisation, but an organisation that gives every race and culture the right to exist and to defend their identity in the face of globalisation.

    National Anarchism respects other races and cultures have the right of existence, but we demand the same right for us.”

    What makes you think White Nationalists cannot support the existence of the othere races and cultures?

  26. Based on this post and Comment 27 by Welf, it is clear “National Anarchism” is antagonistic toward racial preservation and is at best absolutely useless.

    Therefore we National Anarchism are NOT a white nationalist organisation, but an organisation that gives every race and culture the right to exist and to defend their identity in the face of globalisation.

    National Anarchism respects other races and cultures have the right of existence, but we demand the same right for us.

    You are falsely implying white racial preservationists do not support the right of other races to exist and preserve themselves. We support ethnostates and racial separation, and we support the rights of other races to preserve themselves.

    National Anarchism is a new road ahead, with new perspectives and ideas

    National Anarchism is a dead end road.

    I can tell you that there are a lot of white people that are scum and a lot of Asian people that I rather talk to then white people.

    A tired and cliched talking point from the “race doesn’t matter” crowd.

    BANA is a innovative and exciting group and a lot of people should take them as examples on how things can get done and not condemn them because they are do not or do not want to understand what National Anarchism is all about.

    You have no idea what racial preservationism is all about.

  27. Relevant to this post and some of the comments, here is Richard McCulloch on how the necessity of separation for racial preservation is either not known or evaded by far too many people:

    http://racialcompact.com/preservationimperative.html

    Unfortunately, the fact that separation is required for Nordish preservation is either not known or evaded by far too many people, thus permitting multiracial conditions to proceed toward their inevitable consequences without those consequences being recognized and addressed. It often seems as if everyone in the “mainstream” behaves and speaks as if they were racial ingénues, ignorant, thoughtless and naive regarding racial realities and consequences. Even those race-conscious conservatives regarded as being on the extreme right fringe of the limits of “respectability” on the racial issue (typically defined by opposition to affirmative action and support for immigration restrictions), by their evasion or denial of the requirement for racial separation for racial preservation, offer no more than palliatives to soothe the symptoms of this fatal disease without effecting a real cure. In fact, many mainstream conservatives and liberals actually view intermixture as a cure, as a means to promote national unity and prevent ethnic differences from fracturing or tearing the country apart, and thus as highly desirable. Such intermixture (euphemistically referred to as assimilation) is of course the true end of multiracialism, revealing it as a sham, a temporary or transitional social condition which provides the means for racial destruction by the assimilation of (i.e., intermixture with) incompatible elements. Multiracialism is thus the prelude to Nordish extinction. The prelude might seem long, lasting generations or even centuries, but the extinction that follows is forever. Racial preservationist alternatives — i.e., separation if multiracial conditions already exist, or immigration restrictions to prevent the creation of multiracial conditions where they do not yet exist — are not considered, but are evaded or denied.

    The pattern of evasion or denial of the necessity for racial separation for racial preservation, the unwillingness or inability to face racial realities and the consequences of multiracialism, is made possible by the fatal fantasy of the Nordish race. This fatal fantasy is the false belief or misconception that the Nordish race can continue to exist in a multiracial society. [Note 2] It is the escapist fantasy for Northern Europeans who refuse to face the threats to their survival. This misconception is fatal because it permits people to evade and deny the consequences of multiracialism rather than face them and take action to prevent them. When the ultimate destinations of two different paths cannot be clearly seen, there is a natural tendency to take the easier path and deny the need or desirability of the more difficult course. Separation would certainly be difficult, and so its necessity for preservation has long been evaded and denied. But this pattern of evasion and denial is itself the first difficulty, the first obstacle along the path to separation, that must be overcome before separation can be achieved. Separation will be achieved only when enough people want it to be achieved, and this will probably happen only when it is widely recognized as necessary for racial preservation. Therefore the first important step on the road to racial separation and preservation is to free the Nordish people of the fatal fantasy, so they can see, recognize, understand and face the racially destructive consequences of multiracialism rather than evade them.

  28. National Anarchism is a new road ahead, with new perspectives and ideas, not driven by the thought that the white men is the only good thing on earth and the other races are less worthy then the white people.

    Yeah your right, this is far from White nationalism which isn’t asking/begging other races for permission to exist.

    Sorry, I’m taking my chances with my own kind. I don’t need another lecture on how bad White people have been. I don’t need to hear from so called allies that we must “work” with all these groups to achieve what? Just lay out exactly where you guys are coming from because I’m getting bad vibes here. I am not signing on to anything with this vague garbage about getting along and creating some big tent. (with minorities?)

    Now, I am open to new ideas but so far I am seeing insults hurled at us and red flags are going up big time.

  29. @ Robert Campbell, Mr. Dithers:

    That was an unfortunate choice of pseudonymn. I’m decidedly NOT the same person, and haven’t been reading “WN” material long enough to even know about the event Robert Campbell mentioned. (Way before my time…)

    Anyway, I will post with a different pseudonymn in the future so as not to cause confusion. More importantly, I hope the name issue hasn’t detracted from the more important point made above about simple networking and nepotism in hiring among pro-Whites.

  30. @34

    Thanks for clearing that up.

    For your next pseudonym, I suggest “Tom Martinez.” 😉

  31. The most important thing we can do now is to start building these offline state based social networks. This will be the indispensable precursor to any future activist organization or political party.

    At the gun rallies in Washington, we made contact with some racial patriots from North Carolina. We’re hoping we can get something started in North Carolina that parallels the group we are building in Virginia.

  32. Always remember … the secret of success is setting practical, tractable goals and making incremental progress toward achieving them. We need less debates about Third Reich history on the internet and more conversations about starting something as simple as a local pro-White book club.

  33. @36

    I concur. Please apprise us of any inroads being made by OD in the Old Dominion state.

    I’m planning to visit Va. in the near future, so I’ll see have a chance to see what’s going on for myself. Perhaps I can drag Kievsky with me — a folk-building road trip for the OD crew.

  34. The purpose of our whole media presence on the internet – all the social networking and social news sites – should be to get people in face to face contact in their state and local area. Then we should provide them with the tools of political technology necessary to do effective activism. This is OD’s long term goal.

  35. You are wise, Robert Campbell. (LOL!)
    Picking bad pseudonyms: It could happen to…anyone!
