2017 AmRen Conference: "Reports from the Field" (2017)
|
Time
Text
As I said yesterday, part of my optimism is due to this enormous growth and proliferation of movements, organizations, people, individuals, activists on our side.
And I'd like to take some time this morning to hear from some of the people who are part of this exciting, growing movement.
And the first person that I would like to give an opportunity to describe what he's been up to and what he's been doing for our people is Nathan D'Amigo of Identity Europa.
Thank you.
Thank you.
About 15, 16 months ago, we launched an identitarian organization.
Here in America we started with about 15 people and we now have this month reached 700 members nationwide.
So we've made some major strides.
We've made some major strides over the last year and the current projections are looking just as promising.
So about a year ago, I realized it was time to really start pushing beyond where we had been in the past.
Individuals such as Jared Taylor have created these amazing platforms for us to get our ideas out, and the Internet had created a world in which hundreds of thousands of people were being exposed to our ideas and our message.
And it was time to start reaching out to those people who had been reading our websites and been checking out our books but had as of yet to step out into the real world and ever meet another person such as themselves and start networking because the only way that we're going to be able to move forward And actually caused long-term institutional change in this country
is by getting organized.
The reason why the left won isn't because they had better ideas or were more factually correct.
It couldn't be further from the truth.
The reality is they won because they had better organizers.
And they put pressure on institutions to adopt their value system.
And to change their policies.
And the reality is that we're going to have to do the same thing.
So we've spent the last year on college campuses, which is our number one target.
That is the epicenter of cultural Marxism in America.
That is where these values are coming from.
Values of equality and non-judgmentalism and radical inclusion.
All of these values which are leading our society in a very wrong direction and something that is going to be very harmful to European people.
So we've had a great amount of success.
We have, for the most part, done many flyer campaigns.
We've also gone and talked to students.
And the reception from these students has been amazing.
I was not sure myself when I first started going out and talking to these students, I was not sure what the reception was going to be like.
And it has been overwhelmingly surprising.
How open so many of these students are to what we're doing and how many of them actually just congratulate us for, you know, literally having the gall to go and do what we're doing.
Everyone right now knows that we live in an anti-white culture and that anti-white hostility is at an all-time high.
We are now at this tipping point in which what we are doing, people are basically saying, why didn't this happen 20 years ago?
It's beyond the point of where they feel it should have happened.
So we have had a great amount of positive response from students across the country.
However, we are not solely an organization For students, that is just one of the places that we target quite a bit.
Over the last year, we've done a number of demonstrations and public engagements.
One of those was we did a protest at Pier 14 in San Francisco in protest of the city's sanctuary policy.
And it's exciting to see The fact that the current administration is now starting to move towards going after these cities that are doing this, that are not working with the federal government and that are actively allowing illegal immigrants back into the streets in many cases after they've committed additional crimes to the crime of them breaking into the country.
And so I like to think in some small part that we had an effect on that, and that we had an effect on, I believe it's Cates Law, and there was one other law that was passed to that accord.
Well, it hasn't been passed yet, but it's gotten past Congress, and hopefully we can get it through the Senate.
And that will be a big step in the right direction for us.
Change is something that comes about incrementally.
It's not going to happen all at once.
But we have to be ruthlessly pragmatic, just like our opponents are.
To give you an example, when those on the left are arguing for gun restrictions, they're not trying to do it all at once.
They chip away at it here and there.
And we need to do the same thing.
We need to chip away here and there and everywhere we can at this system.
We have experienced a great surge of people who are getting plugged in and plugged in with people locally.
And there's so much positiveness that has come from that.
There are so many people who are joining our networks and meeting people for the first time locally.
It's having a moralizing effect on them that is...
Getting them even more involved than they already were.
They're finding that they can finally be themselves around their social group, that they can express themselves how they want to, and they can talk about the things they want to talk about and not feel that they may risk losing their job because they make a non-politically correct joke or something like that.
Around these new people that they've found, and so just amazing things are really happening with this movement across the country.
So moving forward, what we want to do is we want to step up our game a little bit from what we've done in the past.
It's been easy for our opponents to say, When they see our flyers, but when they don't see our people's faces, it's been easy for them to say,"Oh, these people won't stand behind their ideas." Many of the times we've received accusations that we are trying to intimidate students.
And so what we're going to be doing is we're going to be this semester, we're going to be setting up tables at colleges to have a physical presence there with individuals who can actually engage the students.
And that's going to have a huge psychological impact.
On the students as well as the general public, it's also going to make it much more difficult for our opponents to say that we're just out there trying to intimidate students.
Everybody here knows that that couldn't be.
Further from the truth.
And it's very helpful to stick a face with our ideas to humanize ourselves in the eyes of the public after half a century of demonization and dehumanization for not only our people, but for our people who stand up for themselves.
So we're going to be doing that.
We're also going to be doing...
More public engagements.
We've got a major rally coming up, and we're working with various other organizations on in Charlottesville on the 12th.
If you can make it, come out.
It's going to be huge.
We have to make a stand anywhere and everywhere that we can.
And right now...
These people, they want to replace us.
They want to replace us, but they can't do it yet.
So what they're doing is the next best thing.
They're replacing the symbols of our people, and we cannot allow that to happen.
So we've got to fight this, and we've got to fight it now.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate being able to explain to you a little bit about what we're doing, and hopefully you will see some very exciting things over the coming year from us as well.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Great. Thank you very much.
*sigh*
Next, we will hear from Richard Spencer and his activities with alt-right.com and NPI and who knows what else.
Please welcome Richard Spencer.
Thank you.
It's wonderful to be back at American Renaissance, and I'd like to thank Jared for asking me to address you.
Just Nathan speaking has reminded me of how far we've come.
It was just a little over a year ago, I'm sure Nathan remembers, that Nathan was starting up, i.e., what did you have?
Three people and a yellow legal pad was your entire infrastructure or something like that.
And we talked about doing a college event.
And I said, well, let's just do Cal Berkeley.
Why not?
And, you know, go to the belly of the beast.
And we went to Cal Berkeley.
We used the public space.
We went on campus.
It was a lot of fun.
We went out with a megaphone.
There were a handful of journalists.
We talked to students.
What were them?
50 to 100 people gathered, something like that.
It made the paper.
We're like, oh, what's the great use of resources?
The alt-right is really going somewhere.
I look back upon that as like preschool at this point, of how far we've come in the past year.
There has been an amazing wave of energy.
I wish I could say that it's all me, but that is absolutely incorrect.
There's just been a great wave of energy among young people who are coming to our movement for the first time.
There's just been a great wave of, you could say, angst among Americans that they realize that The old ways of doing things aren't going to change their future very much.
And we have been riding this, benefiting from it, and it has been an amazing ride.
And, you know, as the old Chinese proverb goes, may you live in interesting times.
We are living in them.
We are living probably in a breaking point, and I love it.
I'm very happy to be alive, and I'm very happy to wake up every day and do all this stuff, despite maybe paying a few costs, like getting a little love tap by some of our friends at the Antifa and so on.
I think those people are really our fans.
They were screaming out my name at one point, kind of like teenage girls watching The Beatles.
They throw glitter.
I mean, I think they secretly love us.
Anyway, let me give you just a little bit of updates.
I think there are three themes for what's going on with the alt-right and what's going on with my life.
And those are collaboration and occupying physical space, public space.
And, or I guess those are kind of the two things that I think we're moving.
So, Nathan mentioned this.
On August 12th in Charlottesville, there's going to be a really amazing rally that was organized by someone who's here, Jason Kessler.
And Unite the Right event.
Almost all of the alt-right is going to be there, and it is going to be hugely dramatic, probably hugely traumatic for the liberal people of Charlottesville.
I actually lived in Charlottesville for about five years.
I went to college there.
I remember those statues quite well.
Yes, it is the wine and cheese southern liberal capital of the world.
It's going to be fun.
They will never forget it.
But it's going to be a great unifying event for everyone in the alt-right, so I would encourage everyone to be there.
Also, just in terms of what I'm doing, there is...
There is something that happened that I've been talking about with someone for a number of months and it's intensified the past week.
But I have for a long time been in desperate need of someone to be my partner in all of this.
I can't do it all.
And in fact, when it comes to a lot of bureaucratic matters, I'm quite terrible.
And I have for a long time needed someone to step up.
And that person has stepped up recently.
And he's actually here.
His name is Evan McLaren, who is going to become the director of MPI and everything I do.
So Evan, could you please stand?
This is embarrassing.
Thank you.
He's made quite a first impression.
I don't know where he was.
Perhaps last night got a little too wild.
But Evan's going to be joining me, and he will be in charge of organizing me, keeping everything on track, doing the things that I have been doing over the past...
Seven years or so that I really shouldn't be doing.
I think my energy is going to be much better used, you know, giving a vision for where we're going, creating content, writing more, and so on.
And he is going to be taking on those tasks.
And he is really putting himself out there by doing this.
So I am humbled and proud that someone would become my partner in this crazy...
Crazy adventure we're on.
Another really wonderful thing that happened this year is that we formed a corporation called the Alt-Right Corporation.
And Daniel Freeberg and I, who's here today, of course, masterminded this.
And it also includes Henrik Pahlgren of Red Ice Radio.
It includes Tor Vestman, who's a colleague of Daniel.
Bill Regnery, who's been my friend and mentor for many years.
Indispensable and everything I do is also in the corporation.
And Jason Giorgiani, who's an excellent intellectual, is also there.
This is this theme of collaboration.
The alt-right has been a series of one-man chops for a long time.
And I think we've accomplished a great deal with that.
But we can accomplish so much more when we're working together.
So alt-right.com really is a first step towards bringing some of the best people together.
in terms of content creation and altright.com is going to be co-sponsoring events that we do in the future such as my college appearances such as MPI conferences and conferences in Europe and it's the right brand so I'm very excited about altright.com Just real quickly in terms of these events as Jared knows putting on We're
friends will call in bomb threats and go on social media and try to, you know, ruin people's lives and so on.
Putting on an event is a very difficult thing.
It's a kind of, it's a dangerous thing.
It's an adventure in itself.
But I am very happy to say that there will be an MPI conference in 2017.
And that is actually going to be on November 19th and you can begin registering.
This evening.
So I will be sending out an announcement.
Also, I'm putting together the program, but I'm very happy that Richard Spencer is a confirmed speaker.
But so is Kevin MacDonald.
Maybe the most essential man in our movement in terms of a thought leader will be there.
And it will be on November 19th.
That's actually a Sunday.
It's a bit unusual before Thanksgiving, and it's going to be a much smaller event.
It's a beautiful room in the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C. It will be a kind of elegant and small event, and we're going to be talking actually about policy.
I think our movement, for many reasons, most of them good, we've been more of a philosophical movement.
And I think that's actually extremely important in terms of channeling and focusing us.
But we're actually going to talk about what an identitarian or alt-right policy would really look like.
So this will be a major first step there.
I am also very happy to be collaborating with another man whom I have admired.
And have respected for many years, and that's Andrew Joyce.
Andrew is just, he's a writer for Kevin MacDonald and the Occidental Observer and so on.
Andrew is just finishing up his own book called Talmud and Tabu, which is an amazing work.
It's an introductory work, but also a very detailed historical work.
One second.
And he's also going to be the editor of Washington Summit Publishers and Radix.
And so we will be publishing his book by the end of the summer, along with the translation of actually Mulder's Conservative Revolution, a book by Thomas Lev Sunich, another book on pop culture, and another book by Richard Lynn,
actually, Psychometrics.
But he will be taking the reins of both Washington Summit Publishers and our imprint
I think we have gone a tremendous amount of ways.
We've gone a huge ways with individuals, but I think it is now time that we start forming these collaborative bodies, and that's what's happening right now, and that's what really gets me excited about the future.
is working with people whom I admire and respect.
So I see Jared slowly inching over.
I wonder, are you trying to tell me something, Jared?
I...
All right.
Thank you.
Yes, I am.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you.
Yes, the next person who will address us is Daniel Freyberg of Arctos Media, and he has a slide presentation as well.
So if you could come forward, Daniel.
Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I would like to thank the organizers for the opportunity to speak in front of you here today.
This is actually my first speech in...
The U.S. and also the first conference in the U.S. that I visit.
My name is Daniel Friberg.
I'm the founder and CEO of Arctus Publishing House that I'm sure many of you are familiar with.
I will just get right to the point since we're short on time.
Anyways. Building a movement is much like building a house.
First, you have to lay the foundation.
In the case of the alternative right, or real right, whichever moniker you prefer, the foundation is the literature providing the ideological and philosophical foundation of a movement.
The right-wing tradition of thought holds immense riches in terms of ideas.
Visions and theory.
Only recently, thanks to Arctus and our other colleagues in the publishing business on the right, these ideas have been disseminated widely and made available globally.
Since Arctus was founded close to eight years ago, we've been working on just that.
Providing a metapolitical and ideological foundation for the anti-globalist resistance.
And I believe we've done fairly well.
There have been two major milestones in Arctis history.
Here you can see our sales progression over the years since we started.
And the spike is the Trump effect, which is quite amazing.
Anyways, there have been two major milestones in Arctis history.
The first was when, in 2014, we hired our marketing chief, Tor Westman.
And the second was in 2016, when we hired our current editor-in-chief, Jason Chujani.
Both of these people took Arctis to new levels of productivity, creativity, and intellectualism.
In addition to acting as our editor-in-chief, Jason has found the time to author a second book that is going to be published by Arctis next week, entitled World State of Emergency.
It presents a devastating argument that modern sociopolitical systems based around universal human rights and liberal democracy are woefully inadequate for dealing with the challenges posed by the convergent advancements in technology.
Jason argues that genetic engineering, robotics, virtual reality, and so forth, represent a world state of emergency.
He calls on us to draw from the Indo-European tradition for global solutions to this crisis facing humanity.
Apart from this, I also want to plug the latest excellent work from Andrew Fraser, who I believe is here with us today.
Dissonant Dispatches.
Which is finally available at the Arctis book table in the corner over there.
The hotel staff finally found our boxes of books this morning.
So now you can finally get the Arctis books you want.
Anyways, Thor and Jason are playing an integral role in Arctis.
They are not only my colleagues, but I'm also proud to call them friends.
And I look forward to working with them for many more years.
And, yeah, it is thanks to special talents like Torin Jason, as well as close to 30 project-based translators, graphic artists, editors, and proofreaders that the artist has been able to expand into the world's leading publisher of alt-right and anti-establishment literature.
With more than 40 authors in our stable.
You can see them here.
And over 150 published titles so far in 14 different languages.
We are consistently improving both in terms of quality and pace of work.
And this year alone, in other words, in the past seven months, we've already published over 15 quality titles as listed on the screen in front of you.
But books are not worth more than their capacity to inspire, educate, and motivate exceptional people to action.
The Austrian Identitarian movement was founded by people inspired by the works of Guillaume Fay that were translated and published by us.
Nathan D'Amigo, who founded Identity Europa, an excellent organization, was likewise inspired by our publications.
The alt-right meta-political strategy is multi-layered and multi-faceted, from books and music to alternative media outlets like alt-right.com, with which I'm collaborating with Richard Spencer and so forth,
and which I'm proud to have co-founded with my good friends Jason and Richard, among others.
To activist movements such as Identity Europa, the European Identity movement and the Nordic alt-right.
Through this strategy of all-out meta-political warfare on a global scale, in order to build a critical mass of followers, we are preparing them for the critical times soon to come.
Let the adventure begin.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Our last report from the field on this occasion is from South Africa.
It's our privilege to have with us Simon Roach, who will talk to us about how he and his organization are preparing for what could be an exceedingly rocky future.
Please welcome Simon Rotes.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Good morning, everybody.
Thank you for being here, and thank you, Jared, for this opportunity.
Thank you, Jamie Kelso and others, for your very kind and generous support, the great trouble that you've gone to, and thank you to those of you who are in the audience today who have supported us over the past five months throughout the USA.
It has been a remarkable privilege to experience The goodness of spirit that I have encountered amongst the people of the right wing in the USA.
For me, yesterday was the most stark example of something that we've commented on for months now.
Over and over again.
And that is the profile of the people that we've met in the USA.
Yesterday we saw A lady who has written at length on her blog about being raped for weeks and weeks on end by a Muslim in Turkey.
And she was holding you responsible for it.
It's beyond anybody's comprehension what has happened.
In recent years in the West.
And we, in South Africa, are the canary in the coal mine of that process.
This process...
This process, I say to you in humility and with respect, whether you like what I say to you now or not, is far worse than you know.
You think you do.
Because you are the right wing of the USA.
You know and you see and you understand.
But you don't.
You really don't.
It is almost too late.
Take my word for it.
Because when they show their hand, as they are doing now, it is too late.
They are like a python climbing into the sleeping bag of an innocent camper and the python slithers so smoothly and silkily over the person's skin.
That it's soothing, and somewhere in their pre-conscious, in their dream state, they enjoy it.
And the python continues to slither and wrap, and I promise you, because I have watched this movie before, and with respect you haven't, the python only clenches when it's too late.
Your python is clenching now, and I swear to you on everything that is good.
It's just about too late.
Let me tell you how things are, though, when it comes to the other side of the coin.
There is a bit of hope.
Clearly, people, in the USA particularly, but not only.
What's much less well-known is what's happening in Europe.
The echoes of this conference that are happening in Europe.
They are tremendous.
But particularly in the USA.
There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.
Omitted! All the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
That is the USA in 2017.
That is the alt-right.
That is the success of this Ameren Conference.
That is, i.e., what is happening now is your last chance.
Take my word for it.
My name, as Jared said, is Simon Roach, and I am the head of the Shadow HQ, preparing for a civil war in an organization called Saitlanders.
A civil defence organisation duly constituted under international law.
The specific provisions, the specific provisions, the explicit provisions of Protocols 1 and 2 additional to the Geneva Conventions, although we've been informed recently that they would prefer us not to say it.
Just in the past few days, we've received a letter from the United Nations saying that we should not allude to the fact that we are constituted Not one reason given, and I can assure you we have not broken one tenet, but they would prefer it if we didn't tell people.
We are there to protect civilian non-combatants, the white people of South Africa, in a coming race war, such as black leaders have explicitly promised us numerous times over in recent months.
Our membership is just under 100,000 people.
Our ethos is conservative Christian.
I am in the USA to raise funds for vital necessities for civilians, women, children, and the elderly.
Our situation is dire.
Since the first multiracial elections in 1994, in other words, since Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress assumed power, over 74,000 people have been murdered.
White people murdered.
By black people.
That means that any white person, including little babies and old grannies, stands a 1,370% greater chance of being murdered by a black man than any US citizen stands of being murdered by anyone else.
These facts are verifiable.
In fact, we stand almost half,.44 times.
The chance of being murdered by a black person as U.S. soldiers stood of dying in Vietnam, of being killed in Vietnam.
It is a war.
Indeed, to give you some sense of the perspective that the mainstream, global, capital-driven, liberal media is denying you, sirs and madams.
It is 24,970% more probable that a white person, including a three-year-old girl or a 97-year-old granny, will be murdered by a black person than it ever was that a black person would be lynched in America.
But there are no Mississippi-burning movies for us.
We have been cast aside by history, but we're not giving up.
Mark my words.
Thank you.
Now, as I say, black leaders are promising us a civil war.
There are now scores of examples of bitter threats to wipe out all whites within five years, as made on the 10th of April.
The slaughter of all whites as made on the 7th of November last and yesterday to a crowd of over 35,000 people by a man called Julius Malema that any white person who foresees a peaceful future in South Africa is going to be gravely disappointed.
...
Now global capital, Shrewd observer that it is.
Has downgraded South Africa to junk status.
That is to say, Standard and Poor, Moody's and Fitch have downgraded us to junk status.
They see what's coming.
Nevertheless, we are not going to leave our beloved country, the country we have occupied since the 6th of April, 1652, when we arrived at the Cape of Good Hope to find no black people there.
Until 125 years later, exactly 125 years later, the first black and white people met on the east bank of the Great Fish River at modern day Somerset East.
Already 800,000, just over 800,000 white people have left South Africa.
We're about 5.5, we should be about 5.5 million and we're now about 4.7 million.
Of a population of about 55 million.
So we're about 8.5%, or 1 in 12 people.
We, who remain, particularly we in the Saitlanders, we on the right wing of the spectrum in South Africa, the Caucasian Christian Conservatives of South Africa, Are determined to stand and to fight and if necessary to die for what is right and good and true in the beautiful,
beautiful land that our forefathers built with Christian blood, sweat and tears and not to capitulate to barbarianism.
So we're asking for your help.
We have a huge membership.
Your white population in America is just over 55 times our white population.
And yet, nobody here has an organization of 100,000 people, just under 100,000 people.
Not even close.
And there are specific reasons.
We all understand the reasons.
You don't yet feel the pressure that we do.
Nevertheless, the fact remains, we have the people.
We have the plan.
A plan that is acknowledged worldwide to be the best of its kind.
But we don't have the money.
And we are pleading now for help because dark clouds are on the horizon whether you believe me or not.
I urge you to think of us as you should think of yourselves now in 2017 on this fair sea afloat as you are on this upsurge of decency and respectability.
Think of us, too, as the people of Tua under Charles Martel, as the people, the self-sacrificing people, in front of the gates of Vienna in 1529,
and again, the same people.
The same people who were willing to get off their hind legs and go and stand again at the gates of Vienna in 1683.
We are just like you and we are asking for your help.
Please consider us in the times that lie ahead.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Good morning.
Please tell them how to get in touch.
There's a website or a website.
Thank you.
Jared has asked me to tell you how to get in touch.
My email address, if you'd like to write to me directly, is hk.
It's our abbreviation for the word headquarters.
So hk at stlunders.org.
So it's really quite easy, a bit tricky, but not too hard.
Saitlanders, that's S-U-I-D, landers.org.
Our website is Saitlanders.org, and the email address, as I say, is prefaced with the H.
