NPI Press Conference – photos of James Edwards, Richard Spencer and Jared Taylor (Video Update)

UPDATE:
NPI has just released the video of the press conference:

The description:

On September 9, 2011, the National Policy Institute held a press conference entitled “The Majority Strategy” at The National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

Richard Spencer — “The Majority Strategy”
James Edwards — “Obama and the ‘R Word’”
Jared Taylor — “White Identity: Why We Need It”

With each new election cycle, the Republican leadership becomes ever more convinced of its need to “reach out” to Hispanics, Blacks, and other minorities, or else risk irrelevance and defeat.

The votes of America’s historic majority—namely, European Christians—are either taken for granted or treated as of lesser value.

The reality is that in multicultural America, Hispanics and Blacks are exceedingly unlikely to vote Republican, not to mention embrace “conservative values”.

In place of outreach to the unreachable, Republicans would be wise to instead broaden their existing White base. Complimentary to this would be a dedication to immigration policies that stem the influx of Democrat-voting Third World migrants.

The “Majority Strategy,” developed mostly by Brimelow and Steve Sailer at VDARE.com, is the path to victory for Republicans. It also would ensure that they could bequeath to their children a country in keeping with the traditions of their ancestors.

ORIGINAL POST:

The theme of the press conference held at the National Press Club was “The Majority Strategy”, and was organized by NPI. Executive Director  Richard Spencer described it as a sort of “coming out party” and it is also tied to the day long conference they’re having at the Ronald Reagan Building tomorrow.

Richard Spencer also runs AlternativeRight.com.
James Edwards hosts The Political Cesspool and author of “Racism, Schmasim“.
Jared Taylor runs American Renaissance and is the author of “White Identity“.

I’m not going to post a report, as they’ll be posting the video online and you can see what they had to say for yourself. You can check out NPItv.com and NPIconferences.com for details.

This blog is just really a place besides facebook and flickr to post the “best” photos from the event. I took about 185, was only really happy with about 20 of them, and I’ve cut those in more than half to post here. All 20 can be found here.

This was the 2nd time I’ve tried shooting this type of thing, the first being Ayaan Hirsi Ali from April of this year. I sat on the front row this time, so I was able to make better use of my 20mm prime lens. I also was able to move around a bit more. I still don’t have an external flash, so this was all shot with available light. Not too much of an issue with the f/1.7, but the zoom lens is a little harder to wrangle without decent lighting.

Also, I have to say that without Adobe Lightroom I might have had 1 of the 185 that were presentable.

Eugenic oriented non-text media on Archive.org

After finding “Tomorrow’s Children” I spent a bit of time going through all the books and media on archive.org tagged with the term “eugenics”. There are far too many eugenic themed books for me to quickly cobble together a comprehensive post, but there are a small number of audio and video files on the subject, though mostly critical. I’ve filtered out the conspiracy theorist garbage, “student projects”, and passed on one audio file from a religious radio show that is an interview with an author of a book attacking Margaret Sanger. Sanger was indeed a eugenicist, but the audio was merely a hit-piece. This culling left very little of worth, but I figured I’d post anyway.

I’m listening to this first audio now, so I cannot comment on the eugenic part, but if it’s about a modern exhibit on Eugenics, it’s probably completely critical.

“Mail Order Brides / Eugenics (October 19, 2005)”

Chriss Enss joins host Jeffrey Callison to talk about her new book, Hearts West, which brings to life true stories of mail-order brides of the Gold Rush.

The history of California’s aggressive eugenic sterilization program is revealed in a Sacramento State exhibit. Jeffrey speaks with University of Virginia Professor Paul Lombardo, an expert on California eugenics, and the exhibit’s designer, UC Davis Associate Professor Kathryn Sylva.

Here’s a video sponsored by a slew of Jewish/Holocaust organizations:

Dr. McGee discusses eugenics, past and present, both in Germany and the United States. Eugenics investigated human heredity, defining differences between individuals and groups in terms of “superior” and “inferior” traits. It focused on the social impact of genetic information and emphasized the value of “superior blood” in contrast to the menace of “inferior blood.” Are you well-born? That’s one of the questions addressed.

Here’s an fascinating lecture by Carleton Putnam, the author of the book “Race and Reason”, on the day that was declared “Race and Reason Day”. It was tagged “eugenics” though it’s not really about eugenics, but I’m including it here anyway:


Carleton Putnam, author of Race and Reason: A Yankee View giving a speech in Jackson Mississippi on 10/26/61 at a banquet held at the Olympic Room of the Heidelberg Hotel. In this speech Mr. Putnam addresses the following topics; timelessness of American ideals, integrity of the Jackson leadership and press, What is the Problem?, origins of equalitarianism [Franz Boas,Lysenkosim], persecution of legitimate scientists, UNESCO, race and environmentalist propaganda, the role of the church in the spread of equalitarian race doctrine, perverting Lincoln’s words and ideas, northern indoctrination as “moral” crusade, integrity of civilisation, not states rights must be the defence for racial problems and leftist “change” [prophetic!]

And finally (told you there wasn’t much):

Population Control’s Sad History

Columbia U historian Matthew Connelly’s Fatal Misconception documents 150 years and a cast of thousands involved in the effort to control the fertility of women in the name of population control. We discuss eugenics, China, India and the reality of population stabilization.

Tomorrow’s Children (1934) – a story of good breeding..

Eugenics themed film available at the Internet Archive. It’s not a subtle film, though the movie itself is critical of three aspects of eugenical laws. The first being the seemingly healthy daughter of multi-generational dysgenic family was rubber stamped by a judge for sterilization. One of the doctors becomes involved in the case and fights to overturn the judgement.

The second is the rapist son of a politician who has his case thrown out merely on word of a Senator who is speaking on his behalf. The Senator brings along two doctors to speak on behalf of the boy, who had just tried raping his nurse in the room next to the courtroom.

The third is a criminal who is given a vasectomy in return for a reduced sentence. While on the operating room table, he says: “How’s this operation going to keep me from stealin’, or packing a rod to use if I get caught in a jam? Well it won’t. Just wait till I get out of stir some day, I’ll show ‘em.”

Here’s the IMDB page. Schlitzie (of Tod Browning’s “Freaks” fame) plays a small role here, with beard and hair!

Unfortunately the person who posted it recommends some crap from Alex Jones in the description of the film.

“The baby was born dead, good thing!”

Tomorrow’s Children
(1934, 70 minutes, unrated)
This 1934 anti-sterilization melodrama is an entertaining and thought-provoking period piece. A welfare worker informs Mr. and Mrs. Mason that their family must either accept sterilization or forfeit welfare checks because most of their children are in jail, physically handicapped, or “feeble-minded”.. Included in the sterilization order is eldest daughter Alice, a seemingly healthy young girl, engaged to a young man named Jim.Perhaps because the filmmakers never quite made it clear where they stood regarding forced sterilization, Tomorrow’s Children was banned outright in many areas by the Catholic Legion of Decency. Directed and co-written by Crane Wilbur, a silent screen leading man who starred opposite Pearl White in the historic serial The Perils of Pauline (1914), Tomorrow’s Children was produced and released on the States’ Rights market by Bryan Foy. Leading lady Diane Sinclair, reportedly a mulatto hailing from Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana (Suriname), delivered a fine performance.  Comedian Sterling Holloway provided comedy relief to the grim proceedings as a sleepy intern. All but forgotten, Tomorrow’s Children was re-released on video in 1994.Filled with old-fashioned speechmaking and stereotypical characters, the film’s arguments about eugenics prompt audiences to consider what society’s views are today.  What is eugenics?  What are the arguments for and against eugenic practices like sterilization?  How can we tell the difference between “nature” and “nurture”?  Have society’s views about eugenics changed since we have mapped the human genome?  If so, how?  Could prenatal testing be our equivalent of sterilization eugenics?  What does the disability movement have to say about these techniques?The history of eugenics and eugenic thinking in the United States, both historically and in the present, is complex and challenging.  Like many other states, North Carolina had a state Eugenics Board from 1929 until 1977. In 2003, North Carolina became the first state to officially address the state’s role in forced sterilizations, when Governor Easley appointed a Eugenics Study Committee to consider reparations for the nearly 8000 people sterilized by order of the Board.  The expert panel made recommendations later that year.After the movie, Matthew DeCamp will lead a brief discussion on the science and ethics involved in the film.

[Film description adapted from  Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide.]

Though I want to reprint here a pertinent section from “First Biennial Report of The Eugenics Board of North Carolina”:

An effort is made in every case to secure the consent of the next of kin or guardian of the patient by pointing out the advantages of sterilization. The purpose and the advantages of sterilization have been well stated by the Human Betterment Foundation of Pasadena, California, as follows:

1. That sterilization has one effect only — it prevents parenthood.

2. It is not a punishment ; it is a protection ; and therefore carries no stigma or humiliation.

3. It in no way unsexes the party sterilized.

4. Sterilization is approved by the families and friends of the sterilized.

5. It is approved by the medical staffs, probation officers, and social workers generally wherever they have come in contact with these patients.

6. It permits patients to return to their homes and friends who would otherwise be confined to institutions during the fertile period of life.

7. The records show that many moron girls paroled after sterilization have married and are happy and succeeding fairly well. They could never have managed and cared for children, to say nothing of the inheritance and fate of such children.

8. Homes are kept together by sterilization of husband and wife in many mild cases of mental disease, thus removing the dread by the normal spouse of the procreation of a defective child and permitting normal marital companionship.

9. The operation is simple, it removes no organ or tissue of the body. It has no effect on the patient except to prevent parenthood. Under conservative laws, sanely and diplomatically administered, as they have been in California, these discoveries developed by the medical profession now offer to these classes the greatest relief possible and the greatest protection to the defenseless child of the future.

So You Think You Can Dance, Nazi? | Hard Bass

I suppose I could have called it “Hitler’s Got Talent” or something equally unwitty, but I won’t belabor the title so I can get to the point.

In the US we are dealing the reality that young black men are using social networks in a way first used for seemingly spontaneous acts of joy and dance to instead forge ad hoc criminal gangs to overrun department and convenience stores in other to loot outside of times of disaster. It’s purely speculation on my part, but maybe it’s a way to regain the joyous anarchy of those post-Katrina sprees.

In Europe, seemingly beginning in Russia, youth gangs of hard-right/neo-Nazis are using the flash-mob concept to… well… DANCE!

The Prague Daily Monitor reports:

Prague, May 31 (CTK) – Czech neo-Nazis have started provoking public outrage by a wild dancing at hard bass, a rhythmic electronic music, in Ostrava, north Moravia, but also in other towns, daily Pravo writes yesterday.

Video recordings from the carefully planned public performances virtually flooded the Internet in the past days, Pravo writes.

The hard bass, a craze sweeping across Russia, has thus reached the Czech Republic, it adds.

Tens of people in masked balaclavas make themselves filmed in Ostrava while wildly dancing not only in the streets, but also in shopping malls, trams and outside public buildings, Pravo writes.

…

Experts say hard bass, which was born in the Netherlands, is no innocent entertainment. Embraced by radicals from eastern Europe, it bears latent ultra right symbols.

“The inspiration came from Russia where hard bass is very popular now,” ultra right movements expert Miroslav Mares told the paper.

“A mass dance, accompanied with feverish movements symbolises domination and unity of the ultra right and it is to scare its opponents,” Mares said.

…
“However, in the long run, this type of activities will hardly make the neo-Nazis popular with the general public because a large part of it resents them,” Mares said, adding that the first recorded reactions to the published videos seem to confirm this view.

 

The article itself does no favors and one has to go through the trouble of typing the words “hard bass” in you a YouTube search to find some really baffling and hilarious videos. one may notice participants in aformentioned balaclavas, but you’ll also see Hitlers, Klansmen, Saddam Husseins, and a few Santa Clauses mixed in with hockey masks and many unmasked dancers.

As with any decent internet meme, Hard Bass has started to see mash-up parodies:

And of course, a Facebook fan page.

And trust me Europe, seeing a bunch of awkward white dudes dancing to electronic music in a public square is a HELL of a lot better than seeing this:

UPDATE: There’s a new website that posts videos and songs on the Hard Bass phenomenon. Check it out at http://www.hardbasscrew.com

City Council must approve your “meeting” if you talk about the city at dinner with your family… (update)

I was skeptical through the first half… “what am I not being told”, but then they interviewed the city council member and I though “oh, okay, that seems to be the real story here”.

Maybe I’m still missing something, but I’m hard pressed to imagine it will be a fact that makes me think this is not egregiously stupid and unconstitutionally intrusive.

The New York Times:

The City Council adopted an ordinance last week making it illegal to form any kind of group without its permission…

Even by the standards of small-town dramas, Gould’s situation is bleak. The town faces nearly $300,000 in unpaid taxes, and there have been frequent clashes among the mayor [Earnest Nash Jr.], the advisory group [Gould Citizens Advisory Council] and the City Council over how to repay it. Those clashes — and a perception by the City Council that the citizens’ group is seeking too much influence — led to the ban on new organizations.

 

New video:

This video says one ordinance is about groups at a city owned meeting hall, and another about the mayor meeting with groups without the Council’s permission.

Satanism as Weltanschauung, a lecture in 9 parts (plus Q&A bonus)

I’m pleased to release the video of a lecture given on March 1st of this year when I was invited to speak on the topic of Satanism for a class at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Filmed in HD and edited to include quite a few graphics not presented in the original lecture, I’m pleased with the outcome and hope that for those already familiar with Satanism there is enough to still keep you interested and possibly entertained.

Embedded below is a playlist of all 9 videos, to play without interruption.

Below are two parts of the Q&A session that followed:

If you enjoyed the lecture and would like to make a voluntary monetary donation, please do so below:

Satanism as Weltanschauung

Ch. 1 “Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself…”

Rev. Kevin I. Slaughter introduces himself and gives a short biographical background to establish his long-held interest in Satanism explicitly, but also the occult or hidden aspects of culture.

Ch. 2 “A Brief Overview of Satanism”

Rev. Slaughter gives a very brief overview of Satanism, what a Satanist is, and how it is viewed by society.

Ch. 3 “The Satanic Bible”

Rev. Slaughter discusses the first High Priest of the Church of Satan’s book “The Satanic Bible”. He reads “The Nine Satanic Statements” and other pertinent selections from it.

Ch. 4 “The Satanic Scriptures”

Rev. Slaughter discusses the current High Priest of the Church of Satan’s book “The Satanic Scriptures”. He reads pertinent selections from it.

Ch. 5 “Egalité vs. Hierarchy”

The natural world is stratified, the weak, slow and stupid tend to be worse for wear. The smart, quick and strong tend to have a better time of it. In the animal kingdom, the world that we exist in, it is eat or be eaten.

Rev. Slaughter makes reference to Kurt Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron”, and reads an excerpt from Theodore Dalrymple’s book “Life at the Bottom”.

Ch. 6 “Lex Satanicus”

Satanism takes few overtly political positions, and there is absolutely no affiliation between the Church any political party. The Satanic philosophy positions itself as a third side, rejecting the simplistic dichotomies of good vs. evil, republican vs. democrat, liberal and conservative. The one position most clearly associated with politics is Lex Talionis.

Ch. 7 “Magic”

Magic, in the Satanic sense, is not about shooting fireballs or riding on broomsticks, we do not have “spells” that guarantee sex or death – the two things people always seem to want a spell for. When the Satanist performs greater magic, it is an emotional psychodrama, intended to charge the participant with a specific feeling or to put him in a specific emotional state. It’s made clear in the writings that Greater Magic is an emotional working as opposed to intellectual. Like the power of a masterfully written book or piece of music has, this productive fiction is useful and possibly necessary to the human animal.

Ch. 8 “A Few Unkind Words…”

In this part of the lecture Kevin discusses Christian Child Abuse, a blog that collects stories about pedophile priests. He discusses religiously motivated atrocities committed by Islam and Judaism in the name of their religion and accepted by their communities.

The website is found at http://christianchildabuse.blogspot.com

Ch. 9 “Love”

Satanism isn’t merely a reactionary stance, it is about knowing ones self and building real relationships with worthy people. Rev. Slaughter recites a poem titled “Love” that was written by freethinker Robert Greene Ingersoll, to illustrate this and other points in the Satanic worldview.

Kevin has participated in two oratory contests where contestants read their choice of Ingersoll’s work, and won first place in 2010. The video can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8UPNFcnYIM

Rev. Slaughter is an official representative of the Church of Satan. More information can be found on the website http://www.churchofsatan.com
