What Was Really on Display Yesterday in Charlottesville

You might have thought Ezra Levant's Rebel Media would be all over yesterday's riots in Charlottesville, Virginia. Haven't heard a word. Can't find any reaction piece online either. Nothing.

We've found out a bit more about yesterday's murder when a neo-nazi slammed his car into a street jammed with anti-racist protesters.  The guy charged with murder is James Fields who, earlier in the day, appeared in the company of fellow members of Vanguard America. Fields is the guy in the middle with the round shield emblazoned with the Vanguard logo.

Vanguard believes that only fascism can save America from its mortal threats which are pretty much anyone not white or protestant. That is a lot of anyone - Muslims, to be sure; people of colour, absolutely; Jews, yeah, them too. Brace yourselves. Here are a few excerpts taken from their web site.


"Our America is to be a nation exclusively for the White American peoples who out of the barren hills, empty plains, and vast mountains forged the most powerful nation to ever have existed. Vanguard America stands indomitably opposed to the tyranny of globalism and capitalism, a system under which nations are stripped of their heritage and their people are turned into nothing more than units of cheap, expendable labor. Vanguard America, and our nationalist allies across the Western world, see a world of nations ruled by their own people, for their own people."

"Human nature should be the foundation of all civilizations, and the starting point for ideologies, not something to be rejected in pursuit of unnatural aims which contradict it. The ideal structure of a family is one in which a hard-working father and nurturing mother instill strong values in the children of our nation. This family structure is, and has proven to be, the strongest core foundation for any nation, and thus any assault on the family must be met with swift and decisive action. We realize that equality does not exist in nature, and a government based in the natural law must not cater to the false notions of equality."

"Like all independent nations, America should strive for a truly national economy. An economy that is self-contained, and free from the influence of international corporations, led by a rootless group of international Jews, which place profit beyond the interests of our people, or any people. Neither for the rich or the poor, ours should be an economy directed to act in the interest of our people and our people alone. America should protect the man’s right to fulfilling work, so that every hardworking man can provide for his wife and children. His labor will be directed to serve the interests of the national community."

As for Israel and those pesky Jews, well anyone who reads his (not 'her', his) bible can see that God didn't intend Israel to be a Jewish homeland. It's for real Israelis, Christians.

"The Body of Christ replaced the Jewish people as the true Israel once the Messiah’s own people rejected Him, reflecting that it is the people, not political matter, which is most important to God in His plan of salvation for all who believe."

Sure doesn't sound like they're leaving much room there for rebels like Ezra, does it?

And what about them homos? Hell, they're no better than the Jews.

"People should be made aware that the destructive actions of the LGBT community are not kept behind closed doors, as their sexual abuse and diseased ideology has been parading down city streets and promoted on the airwaves. You would be surprised how often they show up in the police books and in hospitals, too. For as much as this sick-minded clique enjoys getting nude in public, they cower away from public exposure of the naked truth."

That little passage is the only part I could excerpt. The rest of it is unfathomably darker. It's beyond odious.

Then, naturally, there's the call for a fascist redemption of America while there's still time. Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Fuhrer.

"The American nation has always been unique and motley compared to its European counterparts, a mix of some of the most entrepreneurial and individualistic Whites on the planet. The nation and its people are still in flux, still evolving. The nature of this evolution, however is being altered by the influx non-whites into our lands coupled with the use of our institutions as weapons against us.

"Now the very situation that threatens our survival is molding us into something new, something stronger and something very dangerous to our enemies. In this increasingly unstable world, and this most critical point of human development, we find that which we took for granted previously under direct threat of being lost forever. That is, if we do not act. Our people are under threat of losing political self determination, their way and standard of life, and even their lives in many cases. The ability to be able to choose the future for future generations will be lost if trends continue.

"This nation within a nation that now forms inside the American Empire will be something no one has ever seen before. White Americans will have a new nation and that nation’s ideology will be Fascism; born out of necessity. Fascism has always manifested itself from nations facing existential threats from enemies without and traitors within, in America the case will be no different."

Cultural Marxism

"In every case, that existential threat was Communism, Cultural Marxism or the invasions of populations with incompatible cultures. The history of the Frankfurt School and of the Soviet Union’s plan to infiltrate and destroy our society from within could be seen as the definitive trickle to the torrential downpour of societal degeneration we see today. American Fascism, grown from the deepest roots of our people, will be expanded upon by the best of our folk and tempered in the flames of struggle against our enemies...

"Cultural Marxism spreads degeneracy; American Fascism will uplift morality and righteousness. Cultural Marxism isolates and atomizes White men; American Fascism will promote the brotherhood and unity of White men. Cultural Marxism renders our women race mixers and promiscuous rags; American Fascism will teach the women of our race that virtue and modesty are the most desirable traits. Cultural Marxism targets and destroys our families. American Fascism will support and honor our families. This, the cultural side of American Fascism could be described as being alongside traditionalism. The cultural aspects of American Fascism could be argued as the most important aspect of the ideology. A nation is the sum of its parts and a nation built of morally strong, intelligent and determined people will not only survive but thrive."

Being a stranger to these circles I twigged at the "cultural marxism" reference. I had read that before quite recently and wondered what it meant. Then I remembered. I had come across it in the Higgins' memo that circulated inside the National Security Council and made its way to the desk of Donald Trump. The president was said to have liked what he read. It was the Higgins memo that caused Gen. H.R. McMaster to purge radicals, including Higgins, from his agency. Trump was angry to learn that Higgins had been sacked. If you haven't read it, do read it in its entirety here at ForeignPolicy.com. The Guardian offers this interesting take on the Higgins memo. It's a paranoid, xenophobic, racist screed, one apparently much to Trump's liking. That is a litmus test for the sickness that lurks within Donald Trump's White House and in the offices of some of his closest advisors.

BTW, when I searched Vanguard I found entries for Vanguard Canada. Relax, it's a hedge fund.
