SPLC: The Battle of New Orleans (That Wasn’t)

Sadly, I’m afraid the SPLC isn’t what it used to be:

“Last weekend, a motley crew of far-right groups assembled at New Orleans’ Lee Circle to protest the city’s removal of Confederate monuments. Bearing all manner of insignias, from the Confederate Battle Flag, Klan logos, Civil War kepis, Norse runes, the flag of “Kekistan,” the Gadsden flag, to U.S. flags, all were prepared for a brawl.

The highly touted “Battle of New Orleans” was by all accounts a disappointment. The flaggers’ desire to pre-emptively name a “battle” where one would not occur, and to nevertheless claim victory is evidence of a strategy at play by the far-right that emerged after “The Battle of Berkeley” last month. That same strategy is now in play with many along the racist right, including one of Sunday’s event attendees, Brad Griffin, who writes under the pen name Hunter Wallace. …”

A few points:

1.) The SPLC made mountains out of molehills about my relationship with Dr. Hill and the League of the South. I was simply saying that the League ought to be better at exploiting social media. As we saw in New Orleans and Pikeville, we have dramatically improved on that front since 2015.

2.) It is true that I was critical of the turn toward militias and militancy in the movement. It is also true that subsequent events later proved that I was wrong. I’m happy to admit that I was wrong. Several months of violent, rampaging antifa attacks all across the United States and Europe has proven that we need to be much more mindful of our security at public events.

3.) I’ve known Richard Spencer in real life since 2009. I have known other people who were involved with the Alt-Right and White Nationalism long before that. In fact, I knew all these people before I got involved with the League of the South in 2012. So what?

4.) Identitarianism is about White people reasserting their racial, cultural and ethnic identities. Obviously, Southern Nationalism is a type of identitarianism. The Confederate monuments which we are defending are literal expressions of our White Southern identity carved in granite and placed in prominent public spaces by previous generations as a tribute to the heroism of our fathers.

5.) In September, I drove all the way to Arkansas to give a speech to the Arkansas League of the South about how Trump would disappoint his followers and fail to Make America Great Again. I said that is why we should support Trump in the 2016 election and hope he wins because his followers would only continue to radicalize after their inevitable letdown. Since that is exactly what has happened, I would say I was right about that one. It was the best case scenario for us.

6.) Why wouldn’t I support and get involved with Identity Dixie? We believe the same things. We are pushing for more or less the same goals. We are holding joint events now.

7.) We never anticipated getting into a conflict with the Alt-Lite or Patriots in New Orleans. The scenario didn’t occur to us, was totally unexpected and came as a total surprise. In any case, the Cuck Knight has been disavowed by everyone including Baked Alaska and Kyle Chapman.

8.) The Antifas initiated the current street battles in Washington, DC and Berkeley in January and February. We are simply getting better organized to respond to their violence. The Antifas initiated the conflict in New Orleans as well, but since the SPLC is allied with these people they won’t point that out.

9.) I disagreed with Dr. Michael Hill on like two or three issues and the SPLC has made it out to be this massive row when it was nothing of the sort. I’m still a member of the League of the South. I will be speaking at the LOS national conference this summer. This will be my fifth conference.

10.) Black Rebel and the heritage crowd named it the “Battle of New Orleans.” The phrase was adopted by the Based Stickman group that was coming from California. I simply promoted the event.

11.) New Orleans Antifa announced they were standing down and taking the weekend off on Twitter. By that point, we had already made plans to come to New Orleans and intended to publicly oppose the Take Em Down NOLA event anyway.

12.) The League has never livestreamed its public events to thousands of people watching on social media before. Hopefully, we can do so now simultaneously on YouTube, Periscope and Facebook Live.

13.) There were New Black Panthers, Republic of New Afrika and Black Lives Matter attendees in the Take Em Down NOLA crowd which was led by the avowed communist Malcolm Suber. They hurled as many racial epithets as were thrown in their direction, had just as many black supremacist “extremists” in their ranks and were caught on video celebrating White Genocide.

  1. We should be demanding that MLK statues be removed and the boulevards be renamed. He was a Communist and that’s as good an excuse as any.

  2. Hunter, you’re not going to stop those statues from being removed. You don’t have the numbers. But, even if you had the numbers, it would only delay the inevitable. I hate to say it but it’s true. I think they want them down for reasons that have far less to do with the past than the future.

  3. @Mr. Griffin…

    I thank you for this report. It was great to see you admit you were wrong on the militancy issue. You have to be a real man to do that.

    I am very glad y’all will be live-streaming the League Nationals, if, in fact, I am not at the event, myself.

  4. @Snowhitey…

    Snow, it doesn’t have anything to do with stopping the removal of our monuments, because we know that once you abandon a town to others, those others will not maintain your cultural relicks.

    What it is, however, is a symbolick rearguard action intended to be used as a waking up device for our sleepy-headed brethren.

    And, of course, as Dr. Michael Hill always does – he contends every lane, brook, or field, whether it is futile or not, just because to not do so would be dishonourable, and Dr. Hill is the absolute antithesis to that.

  5. “Snow, it doesn’t have anything to do with stopping the removal of our monuments, because we know that once you abandon a town to others, those others will not maintain your cultural relicks.”

    It should. Symbolism is a powerful statement and abandoning your symbolism was the first step in eradicating yourselves. The actions taken to defend them send a louder message than the success of saving them. But the real foundation of stopping the removal of those monuments was ignored. The lack of control over your descendants maintaining your history. You feel the way you do about your symbols because your ancestors did a great job in teaching you.

    “What it is, however, is a symbolick rearguard action intended to be used as a waking up device for our sleepy-headed brethren.”

    You’re not waking up anyone. They don’t want the fight. Most of them just don’t care. They’re ignorant and do not understand the impact it will have going forward.

    “And, of course, as Dr. Michael Hill always does – he contends every lane, brook, or field, whether it is futile or not, just because to not do so would be dishonourable, and Dr. Hill is the absolute antithesis to that.”

    I cannot think of one Southern crusader in the present who deserves any respect. They are all impotent. If they manage to do anything it is either short lived or has little to no meaningful impact. Give me a crusader who makes or made a real difference and they’ll have my attention and respect. I was a League member when I first moved to Florida. From personal experience, the League is useless. It was a waste of my time and energy.

  6. @Snowwhitey,

    There is only one way this ends up. Either the blacks exterminate all whites in the South or Southern Whites save themselves and the land. That’s the only way this ends at the end of the day. UNFORTUNATELY, in some areas the Negroes hold more military age men. The League of the South is RIGHT, but they are also WRONG. The wrong part is seeing this as anything but what it is. This isn’t a heritage violation, this isn’t a war on Southern symbols it is a WAR ON WHITE PEOPLE, in PARTICULARLY SOUTHERN WHITE PEOPLE. Either the people fight or they will be wiped out.

    The question is how this all shakes out? The New Black Panthers New Afrika and that bunch are stupid and Negroids make poor soldiers. Plus they’re not good at things that militaries need to win, such as organization strategy etc. A good percentage of Southern Negroes are still indolent shuck and jiving coons. Can they organize an army from that? This is the $64.000 dollar question.

  7. “There is only one answer. At the end of the day its all thats left”

    And, the way things are going all that will be left is nothing at all.

    “Either the blacks exterminate all whites in the South or Southern Whites save themselves and the land. That’s the only way this ends at the end of the day.”

    I’m putting my money on the former although I think it won’t be all but most. And, that action will doom most blacks.

    “UNFORTUNATELY, in some areas the Negroes hold more military age men. The League of the South is RIGHT, but they are also WRONG. The wrong part is seeing this as anything but what it is. This isn’t a heritage violation, this isn’t a war on Southern symbols it is a WAR ON WHITE PEOPLE, in PARTICULARLY SOUTHERN WHITE PEOPLE. Either the people fight or they will be wiped out.”

    It absolutely is a war on whites. But, blacks are the symptom. They are being incited, driven, and supported by the system itself. They are successful because the system is behind them. No one is on the side of whites including whites. A minute amount of whites will not change a thing. We can blames Jews all we want but whites are also – if not more – to blame.

    “The question is how this all shakes out? The New Black Panthers New Afrika and that bunch are stupid and Negroids make poor soldiers.

    It will be a bloodbath before a majority of whites get the message. They will have to lose everything before they do anything and most will have no will to do anything at all. Do not expect much from your own kind. We, here, are a small minority and we need to focus inward. We need to gather and connect only with each other to make a plan for ourselves and only ourselves. Anything else will be futile. It’s clear to see. Including whites that aren’t “us” will spell a disaster just as much as if we included blacks and Jews.

    And, I don’t want to see anyone calling me a defeatist. We have to be realistic. It doesn’t mean we are doomed but we have to be coherent going forward. It’s time to accept the cold hard fact that whites are no longer needed to conquer or build anything. The higher standards of whites are no longer desirable or required. We are no longer needed to create anything when the controllers wish to destroy and rebuild something that whites naturally oppose. Slavery. The actual pursuit of liberty and freedom is the product of Western Man. Wishes and hopes deliver nothing.

    Perhaps we could meet somewhere once or twice a year to hammer out a strategy. It can be done through Hunter who knows who is and who is not real. We need to come together as a group and learn self-sufficiency. We need to separate ourselves from the system. A lot of the pioneers were on their own and often the federal government worked against them. We need to act on what Rick Tyler of Tennessee proposes. We need a vetting system that is brutal.

  8. Snowhitey I agree with you. The first era of Southern Nationalism is DEAD and Dr. Hill I think either KNOWS IT, or is afraid to admit it. We are in the second era, a revolutionary era. We must be Revolutionaries. I even support Polygamy to build our numbers, if it’s necessary. I would hope it won’t be but whatever it takes

  9. The inevitable is not the inevitable until it happens, every effort most be made to stop the destruction of white symbols of heroism, even if it is a losing battle. the Confederate Army didn’t quit until it was beaten. The didn’t stop because somebody called them a name or said their cause was a crap one.

  10. “The inevitable is not the inevitable until it happens”

    The inevitable is a prior conclusion. When it actually occurs, it’s a realized loss.

    If prior generations couldn’t stop desegregation with massive turnouts and violent resistance, how could a measly crowd of a few dozen have any affect? The numbers just aren’t there. I applaud all those who tried. I think they are worthy of our admiration. But, I think their safety is more important. The “authorities” won’t protect them in most situations.

    Landrieu will get re-elected if he runs again.

  11. “It’s time to accept the cold hard fact that whites are no longer needed to conquer or build anything.” I disagree. The plans for Greater Israel require an empire from the Nile to the Euphrates river. Bashar Assad is still around to poke his finger in Israel’s eye. They need American military to assist ISIS. They need more whites to die in foreign wars. We are becoming more disposable by the minute, but not until Israel’s needs are met.

    You contradicted yourself. The Greater Israel Plan only requires the use and disposal of already manufactured white men and women. More of anything white is not required. The globalists build their NWO while reducing the useless eaters at the same time. We can’t deny it, they are good with advance planning.

  13. The key is to sign off, as much as possible to do ANYTHING to help any hebe or nig. Sign OFF.

    We matter. We are the ONLY people that matter. Once we live this – EVERYTHING changes.
