From the American Freedom Party website:
Extremists at the zionist supremacy group, the ADL, have announced the formation of the National Youth Front. The blog states, “The American Freedom Party (AFP), a white supremacist group, has recently established a youth wing, the National Youth Front (NYF). NYF, which officially launches in February, has already created a website, a Facebook page, and a recruitment video to appeal to young people between the ages of 18 and 40.”
The National Youth Front hasn’t officially launched but somehow they are already a “supremacist group”.
The Tolerance Taliban writes,
“In an introduction on its website, NYF claims that it is “an elite youth organization dedicated to the preservation of America and our Western culture [sic].” In addition to creating a flyer about the group, NYF has created a polished recruitment video aimed at young people. It decries their parents’ acceptance of diversity and claims that young whites are “the victims of [their] parents’ childish liberation movements” from the 1960s. The video is called a “An Affirmation” and is similar to videos circulated by far-right youth groups in Europe, which chide previous generations’ acceptance of multiculturalism.
NYF chose three interconnecting triangles known as the Valknot or “knot of the slain,” an old Norse symbol, to represent the group. It is often considered a symbol of the Norse god Odin. Some white supremacists, particularly racist Odinists, have appropriated the Valknot to use as a racist symbol. Often they use it as a sign that they are willing to give their life to Odin, generally in battle.”
The American Freedom Party has reached out to several youth groups to encourage younger membership and to preserve and promote their European heritage and culture.
“Founded in 1913 in response to the hanging of Leo Frank who was convicted of murdering 13-year-old Mary Phagan, the malignant europhobic Anti-Defamation League was a response to attacks on Jews; the Leo Frank affair was mentioned by Adolf Kraus when he announced the creation of the ADL
In a legal decision rich with irony, a jury in a federal court case in Denver, Colorado, has found that the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) had defamed a local couple. On April 28, 2000, the jurors awarded $10.5 million in damages to William and Dorothy Quigley. This is the first court verdict ever against the influential 87-year-old organization. The award, a quarter of the ADL’s $45 million annual budget, was substantially more than the Quigleys had requested.
The ADL’s 2012 Tax Form 990 lists 370 officers and directors who virtually are all Jewish. No diversity here!
“Um, no. The construction of the sentence is very clear: ADL called AFP ‘a supremacist group,’ and noted that it is launching the NYF. It’s very difficult to get that backward as whoever wrote the AFP release did.”
You’re right.
I have a comment in my inbox, but which doesn’t seem to be appearing on the site yet for some reason, from Paulie: “They’re a bad joke.”
I wonder. Let me address this in a somewhat Andy-esque manner:
There are the obviously batshit-insane moronic racists (e.g. Stormfront), and they really don’t get that much attention any more. Most people see a bunch of fucking idiots dancing around in sheets and hoods or wearing swastikas and just say “okay, Darwin has some work left to do, but I’m sure he’ll get around to it.”
Then there are the attempts to “mainstream” racism, ranging from David Duke’s old EURO to VDARE and so on. Most of them fail because the people involved either have a history of being fucking idiots dancing around in sheets or hoods or wearing swastikas, or are just not quite clever enough to put over the impression that they aren’t fucking idiots who dance around in sheets and hoods or wear swastikas when they don’t think anyone’s looking.
But there’s always a chance that a “mainstreaming” effort might work. There’s a niche there that could be filled.
Perhaps AFP is a COINTELPRO/false flag kind of thing — a government project to keep that niche filled with fucking idiocy so that there’s no room for non-fucking-idiots to fill it.
I suspect the “birds of a feather” thing was supposed to be clever double entendre — one could understand it to be equating ADL and SPLC, or understand it to be noticing that both people in the picture are Jewish.
“The AFP will be officially launching the National Youth Front in Feb., ADL announced it & called it a ‘supremacist group’.”
Um, no. The construction of the sentence is very clear: ADL called AFP ‘a supremacist group,’ and noted that it is launching the NYF. It’s very difficult to get that backward as whoever wrote the AFP release did.
“I’m lost. In addition to what Tom points out (is the ADL “announcing” it’s own youth group, or calling the NYF a youth group, or what? I’m sure they’re trying somehow to toy with ‘supremacist’ and apply it to others because it’s been applied to them, but they failed)”
The AFP will be officially launching the National Youth Front in Feb., ADL announced it & called it a “supremacist group”.
” the captions on the pictures are simply bizarre.”
Agreed. Again, straight from the party website.
“but is it not the case that many AFP folks share the same religion, making them also birds of a feather?”
Not sure about that, I suspect they have members who are Christians, atheists, pagans, Satanists, etc. just like all the other white nationalist groups, but regardless the point they’re trying to make is that they’re both Jews & Jews are evil. I think.
It’s directly from the AFP site. This is actually one of the more coherent things they’ve put out.
I’m lost. In addition to what Tom points out (is the ADL “announcing” it’s own youth group, or calling the NYF a youth group, or what? I’m sure they’re trying somehow to toy with ‘supremacist’ and apply it to others because it’s been applied to them, but they failed) the captions on the pictures are simply bizarre. I assume the two fellows in the bottom picture are birds of a feather because they are both Jewish – but is it not the case that many AFP folks share the same religion, making them also birds of a feather?
Perhaps more bizarrely, are we supposed to see something sinister in doing research “online?” Is it because the internet is satanic, or what? It certainly can’t be that the AFP is simply freaked out by technology, right?
Is this whole thing an un-edited, un-abridged AFP release, or is this an article based on the AFP’s release?
If the former, it’s (presumably unintentionally) bizarre and incoherent. If the latter, it’s (presumably intentionally) bizarre and incoherent).
The incoherence begins with the weird tin-ear misunderstanding of precisely which group ADL is calling a “supremacist group” and proceeds through the unexplained and apparently completely irrelevant matter of a couple of people getting money from the ADL for alleged defamation and then the weird thing about Pitcavage and the Internet.
It seems to me that if you’re going to talk up that there “America and western culture” thing, you might want to start with some basic language skills.
