Welcome to the Political Cesspool, known worldwide as the South's foremost populous radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
Ladies and gentlemen, you're truly hearing the very best that the Political Cesspool has to offer this evening.
Live, unrehearsed, and uncensored.
We're red-hot and rolling this Saturday evening, February 27th, 2010, as we come to you for our third and final hour from AM 1380 WLRM Studios, our flagship station in Memphis, Tennessee, also being simulcast to the AM-FM affiliate stations of the Liberty News Radio Network.
Of course, you can catch us online as well at thepoliticalcesspool.org and libertynewsradio.com.
It's important for very many reasons that we stop the attacks on our people, on our culture, on our heritage.
One of those reasons is because the more we allow these leftist thugs to get away with, the more aggressive they will become.
They aren't satisfied with taking ground until they have taken everything.
You cannot appease them.
They want nothing else than the complete cultural eradication of our people.
And to help provide us with even more proof of that is my good friend, Jared Taylor, our featured guest for the top of this hour.
He is the editor, of course, of American Renaissance magazine, which is a scientific journal.
And for the past 16 years, American Renaissance has been holding biannual conferences, which features truly the greatest minds of the movement, academics of all stripes, very genteel group of ladies and gentlemen.
In fact, a finer group of ladies and gentlemen have never set foot in a hotel ballroom.
And as many of you already know, that the 2010 AmRIN conference was besieged by a number of truly, and I don't think this is an exaggeration, terrorist threats.
But now to get the scoop straight from the horse's mouth is Jared Taylor to give us a little play-by-play and inform us as to what, if any, recourse we have.
Jared, welcome back to the show.
I wish it was under better circumstances.
I wish it were too, but thanks very much for having me on.
Well, it's my pleasure.
In fact, I don't think I had a choice in the matter.
Of course, you're always welcome on this program, and you have been appearing with us since our inception six years ago.
But as I shared with you over the phone a few days back, we have truly been getting just an outpouring of letters and emails from listeners of this show who want to hear what happened to Amrin, what they can do to help.
So why don't you just start from the beginning, Jared?
I don't know, take us back maybe a month ago.
You're preparing for this biannual showcase.
And what happened then?
You have to go back more than a month.
We have been holding, as you said, successful conferences ever since 1994.
And there have been occasional crank calls and there have been demonstrators here and there.
But we've always had conferences that went through in grand style.
This time, though, there was so much pressure brought to bear on hotels with which we had contracted to hold the conference that no fewer than four of them canceled.
And the last one canceled just 48 hours before the conference was supposed to begin.
And the pressure, in the worst cases, took the form of death threats.
And at least two properties had people come on inside the hotel and shove these nasty, intimidating flyers under the doors of the guest rooms.
But the main tactic seems to have been to just flood the hotels with telephone calls.
People calling up, and the threat of demonstrations and opposition meant that, in the words of one of the hotels that canceled with us, that didn't actually get death threats, but they said the bottom line was they were worried about the safety of their employees.
That's what they had to care about, and so they definitely wanted our business, but they decided to cancel.
So it's really intimidation of the worst sort to try to deny racial dissidents, which is what we are, a platform and a right to assemble.
All right, so you've got a legally binding agreement, a contract, which under most any interpretation of rule of law, you would expect to be honored.
These hotels didn't pull out because you misrepresented yourself or that you posed some sort of ne'er-de-well threat to the hotel.
They pulled out on you because of threats coming in from anonymous cranks calling in death threats and all other kinds of shenanigans.
And this is in the nation's capital.
Let's be clear.
It's in Washington, D.C.
This is happening in very prestigious hotels, no less than four of them throughout the capital region.
Where's Homeland Security on this, Jared?
I mean, how can you, a businessman, an editor of a very renowned publication, why are you made to suffer because of threats that are coming in from, well, I don't even know what you would call these people, these Neanderthals.
Why is law enforcement not on your side?
Why are you to bear the pain from this and they get away, apparently, without a scratch, unscathed?
It's a very difficult balancing line.
There is no law that says you cannot call up a hotel and say, I will withhold my business from you if you hold this group.
There's no law that prevents that.
And there is no law that says that you cannot demonstrate out in front of a hotel.
Those are all perfectly legal activities.
It's a fine line to determine at what point you become guilty of what's called tortious interference in contract.
In other words, there's a contract between American Renaissance and a hotel.
And what they're doing is they're trying to prevent that contract from being fulfilled.
Obviously, death threats are a crime.
Trespassing on a hotel and in effect littering, which is what you're doing if you're distributing unauthorized leaflets, those are crimes.
But those are not easy crimes to prosecute.
Of course, I'm not trying to completely exonerate the police.
But if a hotel gets a death threat over the phone, it's not much, it's very difficult for a county police force to do something about that, especially if that call came from out of state or even out of the country.
Now, all this we would set aside completely if the group had not been a group of white racial dissidents, but had been a group of the NAACP, National Council of Arasa, or some group of that kind.
Under those circumstances, the FBI would have gotten on it immediately.
They would have taken whatever extraordinary measures would have been required to find the people who issued the death threats.
And I'm sure that if a hotel had canceled, then they would be shamed by the media into then renegotiating the contract and offering to do it for free or something like that.
And it would have been a coast-to-coast scandal.
But because it is white people who want to talk about their legitimate group rights, nobody cares.
Well, what's hanging in the balance here, and you're more than right in everything that you just said, but what's hanging in the balance here, as I've said before, is, I think, the most basic and primal civil rights that we as Americans can have.
The right to freedom of speech, the right to free assembly, the right to rent a hotel room.
Wasn't that what the civil rights movement was all about in part?
And the right to have contracts honored.
You know, Jared, that's, you know, those aren't small potatoes right there.
And these are all things that you had to do without.
And the 250, 300 people who had registered to come in from all ports of call around the world had to do without when this conference was summarily and arbitrarily canceled 48 hours before it was set to begin.
That's right.
And what shocks me as much as anything is the almost complete indifference of the media to what happened to us.
And the media can't say that they didn't know anything about it because you took measures to ensure that they did, correct, Jared?
We issued press releases on PR Newswire that went all over the country.
We also did a media blast to 800 of the top radio stations and newspapers and television stations of the country.
We made as much noise as we possibly could have on this, and we got one response.
It was from a New Orleans radio station.
That was it.
I was absolutely flabbergasted.
It may be naive, but I have a faith in the basic fairness of some American institutions.
And I was under the illusion that even liberals who might disagree with our stance on race would say to themselves, My gosh, if this controversial group can be hounded out of four hotels in a row, it could happen to anybody.
And this is a terrible assault on freedom of speech and freedom of association.
And I thought they would go to bat for us.
I was wrong.
They clearly don't care.
These days, it seems to be that the elites and the major media care about freedom of speech only for people with whom they agree.
And that is a pathetic and pitiful state of affairs.
It's more than pitiful, Jared.
It's downright, well, it's frightening.
It's frightening to see where we may go if this dissent of our rights continues unchallenged.
But we're going to talk with you more in the next segment about what we can do to challenge this.
And in fact, regain some of our liberties and what recourse we have to ensure that tomorrow is brighter than yesterday was.
Where does American Renaissance go from here?
going to be talking with jared taylor about all that and more when we come back jump in the political says fool with james and the game
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the political cesspool, James Edwards.
We've got Jared Taylor of American Renaissance on for one more segment.
And before we get back to coverage of, I don't know what that was, but before we get back to coverage of the 2010 AmREN conference and all of the, again, terrorism that surrounded it, I do want to be clear about one thing, and I didn't want to give a false perception a moment ago.
The American Renaissance magazine, as a publication, is still as healthy and as vibrant as it's ever been.
And we want people to subscribe to that.
Only the conference was adversely affected from this.
In no way whatsoever should you be led to believe that Amrin is on a shaky footing.
So we want people to learn more about American Renaissance and subscribe to the publication.
Jared, how can they do that before we get back into more coverage of the conference?
Our webpage is amrin, A-M-R-E-N dot com.
And we have many years of back issues on there.
We have all sorts of videos now.
We have lots and lots of material for people who are interested in alternate views on race and immigration.
So Amrin.com, folks, we want you, particularly now, of all times, to go and check it out and support it in any way you can.
And Jared, that was another question that has been asked of me more times than I can count over the last couple of weeks.
How can people help American Renaissance help you and the rest of the staff there as you navigate through these rough waters and continue to deal with the fallout from the conference?
I would like to say that we are going to start campaign X that will require Y amount of dollars, and we'd love to make a contribution.
At this point, we haven't yet decided at this point whether or not any kind of legal action makes sense.
So these things have to be studied very, very carefully.
You can't go off half-cocked on things like this.
And we're looking at all of our opportunities and all possibilities.
At this point, as you suggested, the best way that people can help us is to subscribe to AR, visit our webpage, and most important, when the next AR conference is announced, come and join us.
It may not be under the same guise as, well, it'll be an American Renaissance conference.
There'll be no doubt about that.
But it might not take the same kind of form as American Renaissance conferences have taken in the past.
But that's when we will really need the support of people who care about our country and our future.
And there are a lot of people who do care about our country and our future, Jared.
And again, I do want folks to go to Amrin.com, subscribe to the publication, get involved in any way that you can.
Even though this conference was under so much bombardment from the left, a lot of people still showed up in Washington knowing that the conference was canceled, knowing that they had perhaps nowhere to go, but they showed up anyway.
And you made something of that, didn't you, Jared?
Well, as a matter of fact, yes, something of a rump conference was forced on us.
When we got the cancellation from the hotel, just 48 hours before the conference was supposed to begin, we sent out a notice to people.
We said, sorry, we did our best, but this is Appomattox.
The conference is over.
Well, the word we got back was, we're coming anyway.
And so we rushed around and we got a hotel together where people could all meet together.
We didn't have a room block or anything.
They just registered as individuals.
And at the last minute, Friday night before we had our meeting, we found a room that could accommodate 60, 70 people.
And we lined up six speakers and we had a mini conference for about 70 supporters.
And so in that respect, it was a very considerable triumph.
People had a great time.
They were very motivated.
They felt that they were really doing something to spite the enemy.
And it was a time of really wonderful fellowship and togetherness.
And we had really a fantastic time.
I love it.
I love it when our people are able to come together and show that fierce defiance, show that steely resolve.
And I know one of the people there, the perennial AmREN closer, Sam Dixon, our good friend, you know, he has likened, and I wrote about this last week.
I stole one of his verbal paintings here, and he has likened White activists to or the white race in general to a group of abused children.
And I'm sure you've heard him tell the story, Jared.
The more a child is abused by his parents, the more he will work to try to please them.
And we're the same way.
The more we are abused by our government, the harder we'll wave the flag.
At what point, and I guess this is a question that's been asked time and time again, but when is enough enough?
I mean, I think this, if this isn't enough to get the people on the fence involved, then I don't know what will be.
I mean, because this is pretty egregious, what's going on here, what happened at that last conference.
What's it going to take for us to break out of the Stockholm Syndrome?
Well, you know, I'm not sure I agree with Sam Dixon on this question.
I think we are more like the dissidents in the Soviet Union.
We're people who see through all of the bogus nonsense that the rest of the country is fed.
In fact, I think the parallels are even closer in that at the time of the Soviet Union, practically nobody, oh, by the time you got into the 1960s or 70s or so, certainly in the 80s, practically nobody believed in the system.
And yet they all felt as they had to go along.
But you had a few brave, clear-sighted, courageous people who were prepared to say, this system is rotten.
It doesn't work.
But the whole system was stacked against them.
We're more or less in that situation today.
We are people who see clearly.
We realize this thing is rotten.
This thing has no chance of surviving.
And our survival of a people as a people is at stake.
We are able to see it.
We're able to say it.
And I think because deep in their bones, practically everybody in the country understands what we say is right.
And that is why they come down on us with such hysterical force and terror.
So I think we're more like dissidents.
Now, the dissidents in the Soviet Union, they had the advantage, of course, of having support from outside the country.
We don't have a support from outside the country.
But I think increasingly we will have and we continue to have, and we can count on getting support from more and more of our people as they wake up.
Well, that's a day we will anxiously await.
And in the meantime, Jared, you had mentioned to me another way people could help at this time.
You know, what excites me about American Renaissance, one of the many things, is that, ladies and gentlemen, this is an organization, and Jared is certainly a leader who has taken some of the worst punches that the left can deliver.
And not only is he remaining in the fight, he's redoubling his efforts to make a proactive and positive difference.
So you said also, Jared, I know about 70 people, maybe about a fourth or a fifth of the people who were originally scheduled to attend the Amerin still came.
You had the mini conference, which was very uplifting and inspirational.
But I know there are a lot of people who registered who weren't able to make the trip, and you are encouraging those people to consider donating to Amrin as a tax-deductible gift their conference registration fee, correct?
Yes, if they're willing to do that, we would welcome that.
Of course, those who wish to have a refund, we stand prepared to refund their conference registration.
We're happy to do that too.
And I would say that things are running about two-thirds of our registrants are saying, go ahead, take the money as a tax-deductible contribution.
And that's just great.
It's yet another sign of support for our activity.
No, we've had tremendous support throughout this.
And as I say, when it became clear that people just wanted to come anyway, they wanted to come, even if there was no conference, they wanted to come just to be together, to see their comrades, to have something happen.
It was really very inspiring and uplifting.
As a conference, you know, the room was unsatisfactory in some respects.
didn't have professional quality video, which we always do.
Sound system wasn't very good.
There are all sorts of things to complain about.
But the spirit was absolutely tops, absolutely tops.
And I am so grateful to the people who, in effect, forced us to hold a conference despite the fact that we had canceled and we thought we were going to have a dead weekend.
Absolutely not.
We had a conference.
Well, you certainly did.
And my hat is off to you for putting something together under such adverse circumstances.
And ladies and gentlemen, this is a trod and true organization.
There's a few of them out there.
There's not many, but there are a few.
And consider letting American Renaissance keep your registration fee if you were registered.
They will make good use of it.
I guarantee you that.
And if you weren't registered, but you do want to do something to support Amerin, go to Amerin.com and subscribe.
We've got to take a break.
We'll be right back on the show and express your opinion in the political cesspool.
Call us toll free at 1-866-986-6397.
We gotta get out of this place.
If it's the last day we ever missed my cue in that last segment leading into the commercial break and talked right over our producer as he was taking us into the spots.
But nevertheless, we have Jared Taylor here of American Renaissance Magazine for just a couple of more brief moments.
And Jared, we were talking in the break.
You have a very interesting observation you want to make known to the audience with regards to how the foreign media has taken some interest in your story here with regard to the conference.
And what's their perception of America?
Are you still with me, Jared?
Can you hear me?
Are you still?
Yeah, can you?
All right, you're there, Jared?
Yes, yes, I'm here.
All right, take it away.
Most Europeans still think of the United States as the land of the free and the home of the brave.
The First Amendment is very well known around the world.
And so they are absolutely flabbergasted that our group should have been shut down in this way.
And so I have had a very successful interview on Russian television that's on our webpage right now.
Also, the London correspondent of the Wall Street Journal, not anybody in New York or Washington, they don't care.
The people in London are calling up, curious to know, why is this happening?
And their angle, of course, is that Nick Griffin, the chairman of the British National Party, who was scheduled to speak at our conference, he got not only our conference kicked out from under him, but two other lecture opportunities at universities.
So the British are thinking, what's this?
What's this?
We thought you all had a free country.
So are the Russians.
We thought you had a free country.
Of course, the American news media, they know we don't have a free country, so they don't care.
That is an interesting take on it.
And I did see in visiting your website today that you didn't make that appearance on the Russian television outlet.
But to know that there are other foreign media entities that are taking interest in this, particularly from a perspective of, wow, I can't believe this sort of Marxist dictatorship exists here in the United States of America.
That is interesting.
And perhaps it's healthy, healthy for them to realize what America is becoming.
Maybe we can get some support from overseas.
We can use any help we can get, that's for sure.
That's right.
But nevertheless, I'm glad you were able to appear with us tonight, Jared.
I appreciate you taking time out to come on and let the folks know what happened there, give them a play-by-play review.
And it's certainly always good to know that American Renaissance is still standing strong and ready to provide leadership for many years to come.
So we want people to subscribe to the magazine.
If they're willing, allow American Renaissance to keep their conference registration fee.
And again, that website is amrin.com, A-M-R-E-N.com, American Renaissance.
And it's linked prominently from our homepage tonight as well.
Jared, I tell you, you know, we stand with you.
Let us know what more we can do to help.
And I look forward to being at that next conference.
Thanks so much.
And your listeners should know we are twice as angry and twice as determined.
Well, that's a good thing because to know that you've redoubled your efforts as sterling as they were before can only be a good thing.
And I'm looking forward to seeing where it all goes from here.
And sometimes, you know, we need to be shaken up.
Well, I guess we're shaken up on a daily basis, but sometimes we can do more when our backs are truly up against the wall in this matter.
And we'll make something good of it.
I am an eternal optimist.
Thank you, Jared.
And keep up the good work.
Thank you.
We're going to do our best.
Jared Taylor, everybody, American Renaissance.
We have another guest.
I tell you, what a night.
Oh, what a night.
Denny is our final guest on.
Okay, we have Alex Carmichael of the League of American Patriots.
This is someone who you might have noticed has a banner on our website, prominently featured under the list of organizations and businesses who sponsor our show, the League of American Patriots.
And I think it is very important that we end this night on a more positive note.
We've been talking about cultural genocide in the South.
We've been talking about the problems that American Renaissance had.
But there are organizations out there to which we can belong that are committed to the fight.
They know the score.
They're not going to be bullied.
They're not going to stand down.
And the League of American Patriots is one of them.
Alex, welcome to the show.
James, great to be on.
I really appreciate it.
Well, not half as much as I appreciate your efforts.
And if we only had a few more organizations like yours with the determination and the resolve to carry on and to take this battle to the enemy, I think that the reclamation of America's destiny could come far quicker.
But tell us about the League of American Patriots.
I know it's a relatively new organization, but certainly making its mark.
Yeah, basically, we're an organization based in the Northeast, United States.
We've been up and running for about two years.
We're obviously toward collectively asserting our interests for our people in the United States.
We have to reverse the ridiculous demographic decline we have in the United States.
Basically, what we discuss, and this is going to be found on our website, is, of course, the race and immigration issues, but also things such as family life, economy, the environment, and foreign policy and so forth.
We've done a lot in the last two years, and I'd be happy to share them with you.
Yeah, you know, so you're talking about issues right off the bat that we're not getting any representation from when you're talking about the duopoly up in Washington, the Republicans and the Democrats.
We're not getting any leadership, any real leadership there on these issues.
So we've got to have membership organizations who are out there fighting in the streets, membership organizations where folks can come together and coalesce as a group because there are strength in numbers.
I mean, we certainly need to be more than the lone wolf activist.
We need to share fellowship with other like-minded individuals and go about doing things the right way with the support group behind us.
So the League of American Patriots exists up there, as Alex said, in the Northeast.
So it's a membership organization, right, Alex?
People.
Yes, it is.
There's plenty of things that we do.
I can share a few of them with you.
Pretty much, we have to kind of take the fight to the enemy, so to speak.
And so by that, I mean we have to get involved.
We can't, I think you had mentioned before, just sit behind keyboards and expect things to happen.
So we pretty much do things such as go to the community events.
We work in campaigns, public rallies, Eurofestivals.
We have a Celebrate Western Heritage kind of theme flyer and so forth, which I can describe to you.
Basically, we have a flyer and a newsletter by the month.
And whenever we go to the larger events, as I mentioned before, we try to make people, our people, feel good about themselves.
And that's kind of important because there's just so much negativity out there.
And so what we do is when we go and see people at these events, such as tea parties and immigration rallies, which we've helped to both organize and be involved with and participate in, we pretty much talk to people.
You have to talk to people.
Again, you cannot do this thing remotely.
And so we're very hands-on up here.
Fortunately, we have a geographically small area, so we're able to serve it pretty effectively.
Right now, we're most active in Metro New York and East Pennsylvania.
And so pretty much almost every weekend, we are out there doing something.
And that's what, wherever you are, whatever part of the United States you're in, I cannot stress this enough that activity is the most important component of our movement.
See, Alex, you're exactly right.
And again, we're going to give out Alex's website for the League of American Patriots, well, several times before the show ends.
But if you live up in that Northeast quadrant, you need to get involved.
You need to be part of a community.
Alex, let's just go ahead and give out that website real quick.
Sure.
It's leagueap.org.
That's L-E-A-G-U-E-A-P.org.
And it's very accessible.
We update it pretty regularly, and especially we like to post the good things we do on behalf of our people.
So you got a contact page there.
You got a way for people to join up and get enlisted.
Yes.
Well, see, and this is the thing.
This is what I'm talking about.
And see, if the League of American Patriots existed on the campus of Ole Miss, you wouldn't be sitting back and waiting for the administration to come and take something else from you where you're fighting this defensive or retreating battle that we always talk about.
What we've got to do, what the League of American Patriots is doing, is you take the battle to the enemy.
It's hard for the enemy to continue to take your ground if you're trying to take some of his.
So, you know, what they should have been doing down at Ole Miss is fighting to get the Confederate flag back rather than waiting for them to come after Colonel Rebel.
And I don't want to get back on that issue because it's unrelated to what we're talking about here, but it does serve as there are some parallels to be drawn.
So, Alex, what is, let's just say we've got people listening, and I know that we do, that want to get involved.
They go to your website, they send you an email, they sign up.
What can they be expected to do?
What can they look forward to?
Sure, basically, we've already done so, and I've done that before, actually, starting League of American Patriots two years ago.
We are involved in elections at the local and federal level.
That's one.
That's obviously very important to try to get our people elected and, at the very least, getting the word out.
The other thing is that as a group, we also go to national events, such as the Amran conference mentioned earlier, or the one you set up in November of 08.
We also, I'm an attorney by trade, and so I pretty much handle all the legal aspects of it.
One, which is, I believe, you know this man, the Finnish young man, Henrik Alapa, basically we handled his defense against Homeland Security and got him out of prison basically as quickly as possible.
So those are some of the things.
And I just, if you could comment on that, that.
Yeah, absolutely.
We're going to talk much more about that.
And see, this is what I'm talking about.
This is obviously an organization with credentials, and that's what you want to belong to.
But we're going to talk more about that when we return from our final commercial break of the evening right after this.
Don't go away.
The political session, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
We gotta get out of this place.
Welcome back to get on the political cesspool.
Call us on James's Dime, toll-free, at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cess Poll, James Edwards.
All right, we've got just a few minutes left during tonight's scintillating hot broadcast of the Political Cess Poll.
We're joined by our final guest of the evening, Alex Carmichael of the League of American Patriots.
And you know, we regularly showcase the organizations out there that are doing good by our people.
And when you're thinking about which organization to join up with, when you are ready to apply yourself, you certainly want to belong to an organization that is represented at the top by strong men, astute, well-spoken professionals who are going to represent our movement with dignity and honor.
And obviously, Alex Carmichael personifies all of those traits and qualities that you would want out of your leadership.
And he's a man also battle-tested who isn't going to fall on his sword like the Tea Party leaders do, for instance, when they are attacked with accusations of false accusations of whatever.
But Alex, you know, I want to talk about this because you were sharing it with me in the break.
One of the things that, you know, it's never wrong to be kind-hearted or philanthropic.
I mean, it's always a virtue.
But we talk about it many times.
Even a virtue when carried to an extreme can be something that is harmful.
And I look at all of this wailing and gnashing of teeth with regard to Haiti and how everybody, particularly every white American and every European, ought to be giving to Haiti right now because Haiti is the only place in the world where there are impoverished people who have sustained some sort of natural disaster, God knows.
But anyway, I'm watching that and I'm thinking, you know, what about poor people within our own communities?
What about poor people that actually are somewhat related to us or share some of our characteristics?
And I think about a place like Appalachia.
And you were just mentioning in the break that the League of American Patriots has done some benevolent work in Appalachia, correct?
Yes, that's right.
Basically what we've done, and we just started up this recently.
We had actually thought of it well before that island disaster came to world attention.
Pretty much what we've done is we collected a whole assortment of warm weather clothing and accessories, blankets and so forth through friends, families, and so forth of league members, pulled it together at our first of the year meeting, and then loaded a huge vehicle full of them and brought them to a center in the Appalachia area of East Pennsylvania.
They had never seen such a load brought in.
And then when I had contacted them further, they said there was an exceptional response the next Saturday, which is their busiest day to distribute.
And so basically it was during the setting this up over the last two months, basically coordinating it by phone and then everybody meeting and collecting and seeing what everybody brought.
And then most importantly, taking it over there where one of our members lived and he helped coordinate it.
That was probably the most satisfying satisfaction we've had as far as a group activity.
Yeah, I'm very proud of that.
We encourage others to do likewise.
I'm very proud of it too, Alex.
And in fact, I'm going to give you a round of applause here from the studio tonight because that is something that I've always wondered.
Why has no one ever done that?
I mean, there's nothing evil or sinful about giving to poor white families.
Certainly they are just as needy as some of these third worlders.
So why can't there be organizations who do things like this?
And thank God that there now is, the League of American Patriots.
And so that's something that I was just mightily impressed by when you made it known to me.
And that's certainly something I wanted you to have the opportunity to share with the audience tonight.
I mean, this is just one of the many activities that the League of American Patriots is involved in.
This is your organization, Alex, or an organization which I guess you serve in a leadership capacity.
You're an issue advocacy organization.
You certainly want to lobby politicians and participate in issue awareness campaigns and anything else that would come with a political organization.
But also being good and decent and philanthropic to disadvantaged people of our own kind is something that you do as well.
What other activities does the League take place in?
Well, again, I think I mentioned it before last break.
We do some work for, as I said, I'm an attorney, but the whole group kind of pitches in for it for people, you know, people who've had legal difficulties for purely political reasons.
And I believe you met this man at the conference you organized, Henrik Halapa, the young Finnish citizen.
And so basically, I was his attorney, and the whole group kind of pitched in both with their personal resources and financial resources.
And we were able to get him back to Finland as soon as possible after being snatched by Homeland Security.
But I guess since we're running a little short on time, I just try to last pitch for the benefits of the group.
And what I think is unique, and again, we're a very geographically compact area, but I think we represent a very good variety of our European Christian heritage.
And that's that within our group, within our reasonably sized group, we have an incredible variety of persons by age, gender, profession, and residential, whether they live in a city, suburb, or rural setting.
And so basically, that's something that I think is probably unique to this part of the country.
And I think that make that true variety of European-descended people is what makes us a particularly effective group.
That's one part.
Oh, go ahead, Jim.
No, I certainly agree wholeheartedly.
And as you mentioned, we are getting short on time.
And I have to get this question in.
And then whatever time is left is yours to have and to keep.
But what is involved in becoming a member?
Or should I say, people want to join?
What's the process?
The process of joining is pretty much right.
We're limited to those in the Northeast corridor between, say, eastern Pennsylvania and New England.
Pretty much we accept support of any kind from anywhere in the U.S., but that is our geographic membership criteria.
Obviously, one must be of entirely European Christian ancestry.
Also, we obviously expect each member to be completely law-abiding.
That should go without saying.
We do have a handbook that pretty much covers all topics once somebody joins, such as recruitment, activism, and one's personal conduct.
As an attorney, I obviously, as I said, handle all legal issues.
So again, we've been up and running.
One of the reasons I didn't come on the show earlier is that I wanted us to stand the test of time and have basically a good line of achievements before kind of announcing ourselves nationally.
Well, I certainly appreciate you doing that.
Although, yes, as you mentioned, it has been my intention to have you on this show for quite a while because I know you personally and I've had the opportunity to break bread with you and I know that you're certainly worthy of promotion on this program.
But I'm excited about the work that the League of American Patriots has done and all of the work that it will undoubtedly continue to do.
And I do want to stress this to the audience.
This is an organization that has supported this radio program.
And one thing that I firmly believe in is standing with those who stand with us.
This is an organization whose credentials, I think, speak for themselves now that you know.
And they've supported us, so I want you to support them.
I want you to visit the website.
And certainly, if you live in New England and down in that area of Pennsylvania, I want you to join up with this group.
You need that fellowship, and we need to come together in large numbers.
So, Alex, again, what is that website?
We want them to know it.
We want them to visit it right now.
Sure, that's leagueap.org.
I better spell it out.
That's L-E-A-G-U-E-A-P.org.
All our contact information, such as the email and phone number and mailing address, is on there.
Pretty much we also list, again, as the membership criteria.
And I encourage people to contact us as soon as possible.
Again, we'd really like to hear from you.
There's no day like today, ladies and gentlemen.
Check them out at the League of American Patriots, LeagueAP.org.
And you just heard from Alex Carmichael.
And Alex, Godspeed to you, my friend.
Thank you for all of the great work you're doing on behalf of our people and our cause.
And I look forward to hearing another report and update on this program in the very near future.
Okay, look forward to coming back.
Thanks again, James.
Thank you.
It was our honor.
Alex Carmichael, everybody, League of American PatriotsLeagueAP.com.
And they are linked from our website's homepage at thepolitical cesspool.org.
That is it for me.
I am going to go find a bed and pass out.
It has been a great show, but an exhausting one.
We've talked about some issues that are near and dear to my heart.
We've talked about some struggles that we're certainly engaged in.
But I think of equal importance, we ended the program on an uplifting note, letting you know that there are organizations out there and there are leaders out there that perhaps you didn't even know existed.
People like Alex Carmichael, organizations like the League of American Patriots that are doing good work, and you're never going to hear them promoted by the mainstream press, or I should say the establishment press.
We're just as mainstream as anyone on this program.
But on this show, you will hear about them.
And we certainly consider it to be one of our great duties to bring these people and these organizations to your attention.
That is it for me on behalf of Eddie the Bombardier, Miller, Bill Rowland, Keith Alexander, and Winston Smith.
I'm James Edwards.
Thank you for joining me tonight in the Political Cesspool.
Don't forget to check out that website too that we learned about earlier, saveolemists.com.
Saveolmist.com.
And again, this radio program is listener supported.
We need your support to continue to do our good work.
And you can support us at thepolitical cesspool.org.
Great guests forthcoming next week as well.
We invite you to join us then as we continue our fight without retreat, surrender, or apology only, only on the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
Good night, everybody.
Thanks for joining us tonight in the Political Cesspool.
