Every other kind of extremism, and in particular anti-Semitism, was perfectly welcome.</font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Before the event, Spencer took steps to attract as many young racists as possible, including offering a hefty discount for those under 30 (something he’s done before). He also stipulated that only first names would be on the nametags worn at his conference, thus relieving fears of exposure.</font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
Anti-Semitism was widely accepted at the NPI event this year, something that was not necessarily the case at its February 2015 and October 2013 gatherings.&nbsp;The anti-Semitic tabloid&nbsp;<a href="https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/willis-carto" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;"><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">American Free Press</em></a>&nbsp;had a booth at the event staffed by&nbsp;<a href="http://blog.adl.org/anti-semitism/anti-semite-john-friend-interviews-center-for-immigration-fellow-on-his-radio-show" target="blank" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;">John Friend</a>, a younger anti-Semite who runs the website and radio show&nbsp;<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">The Realist Report</em>. Brochures for AFP’s sister publication,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/barnes-review" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;"><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">The Barnes Review</em></a>&nbsp;(TBR), were also distributed by Friend at the event. TBR is America’s leading Holocaust-denial journal.As the conference began, Spencer encouraged the crowd to take to Twitter during the event using the hashtag #becomewhoweare and attendees duly obliged, posting pictures and quotes from some of the speeches. After lunch, NPI Director William Regnery asked all of the participants under the age of 30 to gather in an adjacent room to take a photograph for fundraising purposes. About half of the crowd of 120 heeded Regnery’s call.</font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The anti-Semitism did not stop there. Before his full remarks, longtime racist&nbsp;<a href="https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2006/how-klan-lawyer-sam-dickson-got-rich" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background: transparent;">Sam Dickson</a>&nbsp;was asked by Richard Spencer to say a few words about&nbsp;<a href="https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/willis-carto" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background: transparent;">Willis Carto</a>, the anti-Semite who founded TBR and was active on the radical right for 60 years before his death&nbsp;late last month.</font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Dickson sang Carto’s praises, calling him “the foundation,” and went on to say, “It is incalculable the number of people that he put together and this group would not exist today, I suspect, if it were not for Willis Carto.” Dickson ended his remarks by asking the crowd to give thanks for Carto’s “commitment to our race.”</font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Anti-Semites were welcomed to the NPI event, but in a move not normal in these circles, anti-gay voices were kept away. White nationalist&nbsp;<a href="https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/matthew-heimbach" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background: transparent;">Matthew Heimbach</a>&nbsp;of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2014/10/08/traditionalist-youth-network-files-another-amicus-brief" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background: transparent;">Traditionalist Youth Network</a>&nbsp;(TYN) was disinvited. According to his close friend Scott Terry, Heimbach was “booted” from the NPI conference for his anti-gay views. While Heimbach was kept at bay, Jack Donovan, an openly gay white nationalist, served as one of the key speakers.&nbsp;</font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In the middle of the conference, Spencer penciled in a live podcast with three other younger white nationalist radio/podcast personalities: Mike Enoch from&nbsp;<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">The Right Stuff&nbsp;</em>blog, as well as <b>husband and wife duo Henrick Palmgren and Lana Lokteff, both of the white nationalist media group Red Ice Creations, based in Gothenburg, Sweden.</b> Though live-broadcasting from racist events is nothing new, the participants were all young.</font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In an effort to draw publicity to the event, Spencer held a press conference, taking a page out of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/david-duke" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background: transparent;">David Duke</a>&nbsp;playbook, inviting a half-dozen journalists into the conference room at the National Press Club to pitch questions to a number of speakers including Spencer, and fellow white nationalists Sam Dickson and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2011/09/12/national-policy-institute-conference-immigrants-ruining-america" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background: transparent;">Keith Preston</a>, as well as Frenchman and NPI keynote speaker Guillaume Faye and musician&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changes(band)" target="blank" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background: transparent;">Robert Taylor</a>. The interviewees didn’t hold back, as articles in the&nbsp;<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Huffington Post</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">The Daily Beast</em>&nbsp;revealed. Dickson claimed African Americans could “be given Manhattan” describing his version of a Balkanization of America. Spencer spouted some anti-Semitism himself, before trying to retract it, stating, “The Jews exist precisely because they were apart, precisely because they had, maybe you could say, a bit of paranoia about trying to stay away -- please don’t quote paranoia.”</font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The speeches were full of the same white nationalist tropes such as opposition to immigration and lamenting the “apathy” of fellow whites in America and Europe who “refuse” to combat multiculturalism. Many of the speeches were more uplifting, clearly a ploy by the event organizers, thus turning the event into something resembling a white nationalist pep rally. Spencer’s speech pumped up the crowd as he told, for the umpteenth time, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2014/10/06/white-nationalists-gather-hungary-richard-spencer-arrested" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background: transparent;">story</a>&nbsp;of his imprisonment and deportation from Hungary in 2014 for attempting to host a white nationalist gathering in the Hungarian capital.</font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The evening session certainly resembled a pep rally, with Spencer again riling the crowd, now buoyed by alcohol and the prospect of a speech by Jack Donovan. Spencer had the crowd rolling with laughter during his introduction of Donovan, exclaiming that he was so happy to be at the Press Club with “so many fellow&nbsp;<a href="https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2015/08/07/getting-cucky-brief-primer-radical-right%E2%80%99s-newest-%E2%80%98cuckservative%E2%80%99-meme" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background: transparent;">cuckservatives</a>.” He then joked, lamely, that he couldn’t say for much of the night because he had to help his wife tuck in their two “adopted Haitian babies” named “Snowflake” and “Jamal.”</font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Donovan, like Spencer, is part of the white nationalist leadership that college-aged males are looking up to, perhaps because they attempt to be “cool” and “edgy.” Donovan waltzed around a room that was distinctly not like one organized for a racist gathering – gone were most of the tables and chairs and in their place was open space where the younger attendees formed a semi-ring around the speaker, while most of the older crowd sat at the back.</font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Donovan’s impassioned speech gave young people tips on how to “become a barbarian” – the title of his forthcoming book. He also provided a number of rules for barbarians, including not shedding any tears or spending time thinking about or trying to convince people who are not adhering to the white nationalist cause. Another of Donovan’s rules was to “loot and plunder,” meaning use technology and “everything that the modern world has to offer to you and repurpose it,” to advance the white nationalist cause.</font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">While familiar younger white nationalists such as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2015/04/20/american-renaissance-conference-draws-record-audience" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background: transparent;">Patrick Sharp</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2015/04/20/american-renaissance-conference-draws-record-audience" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background: transparent;">Devin Saucier</a>, Dan&nbsp;<a href="https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/kyle-bristow" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background: transparent;">Poole</a>&nbsp;and Evan Thomas were all in attendance, it appeared the majority were new recruits to the cause. As Spencer told a reporter from&nbsp;<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">The Daily Beast</em>, “Before, I felt like I knew everyone in the room,” but now [I] “can’t keep up with it.” Though most of the young attendees at Spencer’s event clearly live in fear of being exposed for being racist, it is clear that Spencer is making headway in cultivating a social space, whether that be in real life or online, for these individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation.</font></p></div></div></div></div><div id="siteSub"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">

It <a href="http://www.npiamerica.org/about/" target="_blank">warns on its website</a> that "the dispossession of White Americans will have catastrophic effects for the entire world, not just for our people."</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">NPI and the Charles Martel Society prefer to be referred to as "white nationalists," not white supremacists, according to Heidi Beirich, a spokeswoman for the Southern Poverty Law Center. She adds: "They think that's its a more high-brow term than white supremacism. Whether they call themselves white nationalists or white supremacists, what these are are people who have a racist notion of the universe in which whites are superior. And all of them, whether white nationalist or white supremacist, would like to live in a segregated environment. They want a white world."</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">The anti-Semitic and racist records of the NPI and the Charles Martel Society are beyond dispute, Mayo insists. "This whole web of the Charles Martel Society, the National Policy Institute—they're all vehicles for promoting white supremacy in various forms," she explains. "Their publications contain racist and anti-Semitic materials."</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Taylor's connection to the Martel Society was <a href="http://www.publicopiniononline.com/ci_20450909/candidate-connections-taylor?IADID=Search-www.publicopiniononline.com-www.publicopiniononline.com" target="_blank">first reported</a> by the <em>Chambersburg Public Opinion</em>, a local Pennsylvania newspaper, last August. When asked about America PAC's donation to the society, Taylor, who was running for state Senate at the time, told the paper he now "thought the Charles Martel Society was too militant." But he acknowledged his connection to NPI, and defended its mission. "You've got the NAACP and B'nai B'rith," he said. "Why not something for white people?" Taylor went on to emphasize that he "hasn't been involved in years" with NPI or Martel, and "wouldn't be involved now considering what they have on the website now."</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font>

<font face="Times New Roman"><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">According to <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/documents/561741-npi-990-2007" target="blank">NPI's tax returns</a>, Taylor was vice president of the group as late as 2007, when it released "The State of White America 2007." <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/8010439/State-of-White-America-2007" target="blank">That report</a> called <em>Brown vs. Board of Education</em>, the Supreme Court decision that desegregated public schools, "arguably the worst decision in the Court’s 216-year history."</span> The paper contended that "integration and the civil rights movement led directly to the destruction of great cities; and to millions of whites suffering terrible injustices, including assault, robbery, rape and murder, and losing everything they had through the ensuing destruction of their neighborhoods and their property values." The NPI was founded, according to its original mission statement, "to elevate the consciousness of whites, ensure our biological and cultural continuity, and protect our civil rights."</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">In an email<b>, Richard Spencer, who currently runs NPI,</b> maintains that "NPI is not a 'white supremacist' organization" and has a record "of collaboration with Jews who support our mission." He continues: "We do not desire that the White race lord over other peoples; indeed, we find such a notion repellent…All kinds of races, ethnicities, and religious groups—from lesbians to left-handers—have been eager (and in many cases, encouraged) to organize and advocate politically on behalf of themselves. NPI believes that Whites have the same right…NPI takes its stand on behalf of America’s historic majority, as well as European peoples worldwide." Spencer says, "[W]e are nationalists, in the proper sense of the word: we seek to promote the heath of our race."</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Asked about the Martel Society donation and Taylor's years of association with NPI, Robinson says, "I've known and worked with James Taylor for several decades and he has never treated anyone as part of a racial group and always treated everyone fairly as an individual."</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">“When we hear any professional ‘Latino’ support this or that social program, we sense in our guts that her policy proscriptions are rationalizations for nationalism. She might <i>say</i> ‘more immigration is good’; she <i>means</i> ‘The Anglos are finished!’”</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">– Speech at the 2013 American Renaissance conference</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">“What blocks our progress is the&nbsp;<em>meme</em>&nbsp;that has been carefully implanted in White people’s minds over the course of decades of programming, from <em>Mississippi Burning</em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>Lee Daniel's The Butler</em>—that any kind of positive racial feeling among Whites is inherently evil and stupid and derives solely from bigotry and resentment. And that the political and social advancement of non-Whites is inherently moral and wonderful.”</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">– National Policy Institute column, September 2013</font>

<font face="Times New Roman"><strong>Background</strong></font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Richard Spencer’s clean-cut appearance conceals a radical white separatist whose goal is the establishment of a white ethno-state in North America. His writings and speeches portray this as a reasonable defense of Caucasians and Eurocentric culture. In Spencer’s myopic worldview, white people have been “dispossessed” by a combination of rising minority birth rates, immigration, and government policies he abhors.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Fighting that alleged dispossession is the focus of the tax-exempt organization he heads, the National Policy Institute (NPI). According to NPI’s mission statement, it aims “to elevate the consciousness of whites, ensure our biological and cultural continuity, and protect our civil rights. The institute ... will study the consequences of the ongoing influx that non-Western populations pose to our national identity.”</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Spencer became president of NPI in 2011, following the death of its chairman, longtime white nationalist Louis R. Andrews. Concurrently, he oversees NPI’s publishing division, <span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Washington Summit Publishers, home of such scientifically bogus works as a 2015 reissue of Richard Lynn's&nbsp;<i>Race Differences in Intelligence</i> and screeds by other white nationalists, including <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/jared-taylor">Jared Tay­lor</a>, editor&nbsp;of the racist <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/american-renaissance"><i>Amer­i­can Renais­sance</i></a> journal, and <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/sam-francis">Sam Francis</a>, the late editor of the white supremacist <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/council-conservative-citizens">Council of Conservative Citizens</a>’ newsletter</span>. In 2012, Spencer launched an offshoot of Washington Summit Publishers that he called <i>Radix Journal</i>, a website and biannual publication whose contributors include notorious anti-Semite Kevin MacDonald, a retired professor at California State University, Long Beach.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman"><b>Described as a leading “academic racist” by the Southern Poverty Law Center,</b> Spencer takes a quasi-intellectual approach to white separatism. In an online NPI recruiting video, he employs the tone of a sociologist discussing demographics:</font></p>

<blockquote>

<p><font face="Times New Roman">“As long as whites continue to avoid and deny their own racial identity, at a time when almost every other racial and ethnic category is rediscovering and asserting its own, whites will have no chance to resist their dispossession.”</font></p>

</blockquote>

<p><font face="Times New Roman">Spencer acquired that academic tone while obtaining a bachelor’s degree from at the University of Virginia and a master’s degree in humanities from the <b>University of Chicago</b>. It is part of an image-conscious strategy meant to appeal to educated, middle-class whites. He dresses neatly, eschews violence, and works to sound rational.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">“We have to look good,” he told Salon.com writer Lauren Fox, because no one is going to want to join a movement that is “crazed or ugly or vicious or just stupid.”</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">In 2007, after obtaining his master’s degree, Spencer took a job as assistant editor at <i>American Conservative</i> magazine, where he was later fired for his radical views, according to former colleague J. Arthur Bloom. Following that, Spencer became executive editor of the paleoconservative website, Taki’s Magazine. In 2010, Spencer founded AlternativeRight, a supremacy-themed webzine aimed at the “intellectual right wing,” where he remained until joining NPI.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">One of Spencer’s first acts after taking over NPI was to move its headquarters from Washington, D.C. to Whitefish, Mont., where he lives, in a region where hate and antigovernment groups have been fairly numerous. But if Spencer is eyeing Whitefish as a locale for his Aryan homeland, he faces significant opposition. In December 2014, the Whitefish City Council debated an anti-hate ordinance barring groups such as NPI from assembling in the community. After concerns were raised about free speech, the council ultimately settled on a resolution supporting diversity and tolerance.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Spencer spoke at that council meeting, saying the anti-hate ordinance would have granted the right to “police our minds” but claiming that he supported the diversity and tolerance resolution. “But real diversity includes thinking differently,” the <i>Flathead Beacon</i> quoted him as saying. “Real diversity is not people of all different shapes and colors acting the same way. That is the diversity of a Coke commercial.”</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Real diversity and tolerance apparently only go so far, however. In an address at white supremacist Jared Taylor’s 2013 <i>American Renaissance</i> conference, Spencer called for “peaceful ethnic cleansing.” As an example of how this could be accomplished, he cited the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, where new national boundaries were formed at the end of World War I. “Today, in the public imagination, ‘ethnic cleansing’ has been associated with civil war and mass murder (understandably so),” Spencer said. “But this need not be the case. 1919 is a real example of successful ethnic redistribution—done by fiat, we should remember, but done peacefully.”</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Spencer also has termed his mission a “sort of white Zionism,” that would inspire whites with the dream of such a homeland just as Zionism helped spur the establishment of Israel. A white ethno-state would be an&nbsp;<em>Altneuland</em>—an old, new country—he said, attributing the term to Theodor Herzl, a founding father of Zionism.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Such historical comparisons show how desperate Spencer is to legitimize his agenda. After all, if white people are dispossessed, why shouldn’t they get a homeland, too? The problem, of course, is that white Americans have not been dispossessed, no matter how often that claim is made by ideologues of the racist right.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">But Spencer is doing his best to make it seem that they are. When the 2011 census revealed that for the first time the majority of children born in the United States are non-white, Spencer concluded that efforts to restrict immigration were “meaningless” going forward. “Even if all immigration, legal and illegal, were miraculously halted tomorrow morning, our country’s demographic destiny would merely be delayed by a decade or two,” he told the <i>American Renaissance</i> audience. “Put another way, we could win the immigration battle and nevertheless lose the country, and lose it completely.”</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Although Spencer has repeatedly denied that he is a racist, his protests amount to a semantic debate over what “racist” means. “Racist isn’t a descriptive word. It’s a pejorative word. It is the equivalent of saying, ‘I don’t like you.’ ‘Racist’ is just a slur word,” he told the <i>Flathead Beacon</i>. “I think race is real, and I think race is important. And those two principles do not mean I want to harm someone or hate someone. But the notion that these people can be equal is not a scientific way of looking at it.”</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Elsewhere, he has decried what he terms an overly expansive definition of racism by “Cultural Marxists.” In a 2013 NPI column, he wrote:</font></p>

<blockquote>

<p><font face="Times New Roman">“But for most academics and policy-makers—who could be referred to as ‘Cultural Marxists’—the definition of ‘racism’ is much,&nbsp;<i>much</i>&nbsp;more expansive; it encompasses culture, ‘privilege,’ societal assumptions and values, and all sorts of things they deem to be expressions of power. The hetero-normative marriage, Christmas, nationalist soccer fandom can each be considered ‘racist,’ in that each is an avatar of European civilization and consciousness—and thus an obstacle for ‘multicultural’ globalism.”</font></p>

</blockquote>

<p><font face="Times New Roman">Spencer has said he would gladly accept Germans, Latins, and Slavic immigrants in his proposed ethno-state—ironically, groups that faced severe discrimination in late 19^th century America. These foreigners and their customs, including Catholicism, spurred the creation of Know-Nothing societies, which eventually became known as the American Party. Pseudo-scientific studies were released, such as Carl Brigham’s “A Study of Human Intelligence” (1923), that claimed that Slavs and Italians, among others, were of inferior intelligence.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">But today, kielbasa is considered as American as apple pie, and these non-Anglo Saxons are embraced by Spencer because of their white skins. They have assimilated.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">To Spencer, however, assimilation is a “deceptive” term. In his forward to a new edition of racist eugenicist Madison Grant’s 1933 <i>Conquest of a Continent</i>, Spencer wrote:</font></p>

<blockquote>

<p><font face="Times New Roman">“Hispanic immigrants have been assimilating downward&nbsp;across generations towards the culture and behavior of African-Americans. Indeed, one possible outcome of the ongoing demographic transformation is a thoroughly miscegenated, and thus homogenous and ‘assimilated,’ nation, which would have little resemblance to the White America that came before it.”</font></p>

</blockquote>

<p><font face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;Indeed, this applies to the European “motherland” as well. In a promo for NPI’s 2013 Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., Spencer opined that both Europe and America are experiencing economic, moral and cultural bankruptcy under the pressure of “mass immigration, multiculturalism, and the natural expression of religious and ethnic identities by non-Europeans.”</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Spencer’s efforts to reach out to European nationalists have not gone well, however. In October 2014, his attempt to hold an NPI conference in Budapest, Hungary, resulted in his arrest and expulsion. Dubbed the 2014 European Congress, the conference featured an array of white nationalists from both Europe and America. Among the scheduled speakers were Jared Taylor of <i>American Renaissance</i>, Philippe Vardon from the far-right French Bloc Identitaire movement, Russian ultranationalist Alexander Dugin, and right-wing Hungarian extremist MP Márton Gyöngyösi.&nbsp;</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Before the conference even started, the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade released a statement condemning “all xenophobic and exclusionary organisations that discriminate based on religion or ethnicity.” Planned reservations at the Larus Center venue were cancelled. On Oct. 3, Spencer was arrested while meeting informally with other participants at a café that was to have been an alternate venue. He was jailed for three days, deported, and banned for three years from entering all 26&nbsp;European countries that have abolished passport and other controls at their common borders.&nbsp;</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Back in America, stronger free speech protections enable Spencer to hold such conferences. But even though he idealizes an American society founded by European whites, he rejects the principles of egalitarianism enshrined in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Indeed, he takes issue with conservatives who advocate returning America to its “founding principles.” Even if that did happen, the outcome would be the same, according to Spencer: “One should not rewind a movie, play it again, and then be surprised when it reaches the same unhappy ending.”</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">“Should we, for instance, really be fighting for ‘limited government’ or the Constitution, so that the Afro-Mestizo-Caribbean Melting Pot can enjoy the blessing of liberty and a sound currency?” he asked the <i>American Renaissance</i> gathering.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">In Spencer’s ethno-state there would be no such problems. In a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.radixjournal.com/journal/2014/7/4/the-metapolitics-of-america">July 3, 2014, column in NPI’s <i>Radix Journal</i></a>, he lauded Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens’ “greatest address,” in which Stephens said that Thomas Jefferson was wrong about “all men being created equal.”</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Spencer endorsed that sentiment, saying, “Ours, too, should be a declaration of difference and distance—‘We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created unequal.’ In the wake of the old world, this will be our proposition.”</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">At every NPI event there is a book fair, and NPI’s publishing division, Washington Summit Publishers, also offers its white nationalist titles on its own website and through sites such as Amazon.com. Here is a sampling:</font>

<font face="Times New Roman"><strong>RACE AND THE AMERICAN PROSPECT: RACIAL REALITIES IN THE 21ST CENTURY (2015)</strong>

Samuel Francis, editor</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Fourteen scholars and experts on race and ethnicity reveal how race and ethnic differences have shaped America's cultural, historical, and political landscape. Each contributor examines the impact of racial differences on American society, from religion and politics to Southern history and sociobiology, and explains why biological racial differences are neither myth nor social invention, but significantly shape virtually every aspect of America's political, social, economic and cultural landscape.</font>

By Richard Lynn</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">This comprehensive review of worldwide racial differences of general intelligence explores the formation of races, meaning of intelligence, validity of race differences in IQ, environmental and genetic correlates of intelligence, the relationship between brain size and intelligence, the evolution of racial differences in intelligence, and the factor of racial hybrids.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman"><strong>THE GREAT ERASURE (2012)</strong>

Richard B. Spencer, editor</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">The experience of European peoples worldwide can be said to be distinctly post-Apartheid, post-colonial, and post-national. The White man lives in a world his race once dominated and in which Black and Brown are now colonizers, in which European heritage is being taken away piece by piece: cultural heroes, literature, popular icons, identity ultimately, everything.</font>

By Byron Roth</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Any policy of mass immigration will be profoundly constrained by fundamental features of human psychology, prominent among them is a natural bias toward one’s own kind and a wariness and suspicion of — if not hostility towards — others. The prospect for social harmony in multi-ethnic societies is thus problematic at best, and difficulties are compounded when groups differ in ability and temperament in non-trivial ways.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman"><strong>THE LIMITS OF DEMOCRATIZATION (2009)</strong></font>

<font face="Times New Roman">By Tatu Vanhannen<strong>&nbsp;</strong></font>

<font face="Times New Roman">The limits of democratization discussed in this book reflect the evolved diversity of life. This means that all nations do not have equal chances to establish and maintain democratic systems. A central conclusion is that it is probably never possible to achieve the same level and quality of democracy in all countries of the world because of the impact of the two ultimate constraining factors (annual mean temperature and national IQ).</font>

Jackson criticized Stix for the latter’s harsh tone in his introduction to the report, while praising him for his exhaustive reporting on black-on-white school atrocities, the pitfalls of affirmative action hiring of black police officers, and for his chapter on black-on-white crime.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Policy_Institute#cite_note-1"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a></sup></font>

However, only a small number actually function as real think tanks, and an even smaller number are influential, even on the extreme right. The four groups profiled below, including one that was just formed last fall, may be the most important. They are also each associated with individuals who became involved in the recent dispute over anti-Semitism on the radical right. Each has said it opposes anti-Semitism, or at least anti-Semitism in its crudest forms (each of them also pushes the work of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/profiles/kevin-macdonald" style="line-height: 1.25em; text-decoration: none;">Kevin MacDonald</a>, an academic who criticizes Jews in somewhat softer terms than most anti-Semites). One of them, the Pioneer Fund, has financially backed the racist research of many individuals associated with the other groups. All four organizations are listed as hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center.</span></font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Founded in 2001 by Chicago millionaire publishing scion William H. Regnery, the Charles Martel Society puts out&nbsp;<em style=" font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">The Occidental Quarterly</em>, a journal devoted to the idea that "race informs culture" that is edited by a Who's Who of the radical right. Its chief editor is&nbsp;<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2006/summer/irreconcilable-differences/the-new-ra" style="line-height: 1.25em; text-decoration: none;">Kevin Lamb</a>; its managing editor is&nbsp;<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2006/summer/irreconcilable-differences/the-new-ra" style="line-height: 1.25em; text-decoration: none;">Louis R.

The board of the society includes Andrews, Lamb,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/groups/american-renaissance" style="line-height: 1.25em; text-decoration: none;"><em style=" font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">American Renaissance</em></a>&nbsp;Editor&nbsp;<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/profiles/jared-taylor" style="line-height: 1.25em; text-decoration: none;">Jared Taylor</a>&nbsp;and Sam Dickson, a white supremacist lawyer and luminary of the<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/groups/council-of-conservative-citizens" style="line-height: 1.25em; text-decoration: none;">Council of Conservative Citizen</a>s.&nbsp;<em style=" font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">The Occidental Quarterly</em>&nbsp;publishes an array of extremists including Robert S. Griffin, a University of Vermont professor who has been a member of the neo-Nazi&nbsp;<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/groups/national-alliance" style="line-height: 1.25em; text-decoration: none;">National Alliance</a>, and Marian Kester Coombs, wife of the managing editor of&nbsp;<em style=" font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">The Washington Times</em>&nbsp;and a well-known racist writer. In 2004, the society went beyond publishing for the first time, holding a black-tie dinner in a fancy Washington, D.C., hotel, where it awarded Kevin MacDonald $10,000 and its Jack London Literary Prize for books describing the alleged "group evolutionary strategies" of the Jews. The Charles Martel Society and its journal have been very well received among so-called "academic racists" in America -- so much so that when Florida race scientist Glayde Whitney died in 2002, his family asked that in lieu of flowers, mourners send donations to the society.</font>

<strong style=" line-height: 1.25em;">National Policy Institute</strong><br style="" />

&nbsp;</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><br style=" line-height: 1.25em;" />

After a year of soliciting funds for a "new think tank" in Washington, D.C., the National Policy Institute was established with a staff of four in September 2005 by far-right publisher <b>William Regnery. </b>The institute's mission statement says it aims "to elevate the consciousness of whites, ensure our biological and cultural continuity, and protect our civil rights. The institute ... will study the consequences of the ongoing influx that non-Western populations pose to our national identity." In an August 2005 speech to the Chicagoland Friends of&nbsp;<b><em style=" font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">American Renaissance</em></b>&nbsp;(see group profile below), Regnery warned that "within the first or secondhand memories of people in this room, the white race may go from master of the universe to an anthropological curiosity."

&nbsp;</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The institute has published two studies: a critique of affirmative action, which the institute opposes; and "Mass Deportation is a Viable Solution to America's Illegal Immigration Crisis," written by Edwin Rubenstein. (Rubenstein, a frequent contributor to the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/vdare-foundation" style=" line-height: 1.25em; text-decoration: none;">V-Dare</a>&nbsp;hate site, is president of ESR Research Economic Consultants of Indianapolis and has served as <span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">research director for the conservative Hudson Institute, an adjunct fellow at the Manhattan Institute, an economics editor at the&nbsp;<em style=" font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">National Review</em>, and a contributing editor at&nbsp;<em style=" font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">Forbes</em>&nbsp;magazine</span>.) The institute's senior fellow is Wayne Lutton, an extreme-right writer, and its spokesman is Kevin Lamb. Its board includes Louis R. Andrews,&nbsp;<span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><em style=" font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">American Renaissance </em>Editor Jared Taylor, and James B.

<strong style=" line-height: 1.25em;">New Century Foundation/<em style=" font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">American Renaissance</em></strong>

&nbsp;</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Jared Taylor, the man who heads the New Century Foundation and edits its&nbsp;<em style=" font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">American Renaissance</em> magazine, presents himself as a cosmopolitan, open-minded thinker not afraid to take on the taboos of his time without stooping to racial epithets and the like.&nbsp;But, in fact, he is a man who promotes the idea of America as "a&nbsp;self-consciously European, majority-white nation," regardless of the calm&nbsp;tone of his journal, which has an academic look and feel. In 2002, for instance, Taylor published an article by race scientist Richard Lynn (see Pioneer Fund, below) under the title "Race and the Psychopathic Personality" that argued that blacks "are more psychopathic than whites" and suffer from a "personality disorder" characterized by a poverty of feeling, lack of shame, pathological lying and so on. After Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, the magazine ratcheted up its customary attacks on blacks, particularly in an error-ridden essay by Taylor that said the hurricane "was an excuse [for blacks] to loot, rob, rape and kill."&nbsp;<em style=" font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">American Renaissance,&nbsp;</em>based in Taylor's home in Oakton, Va., also publishes frequent articles on the discredited field of eugenics -- selective breeding to improve human genetic stock. The foundation has hosted biannual conferences since 1994, and its website, featuring stories on black crime and the like, recently rose to one of the top 20,000 in the world after a makeover. In recent years, Taylor has added several budding racist intellectuals to his staff, including<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2006/summer/irreconcilable-differences/the-new-ra" style="line-height: 1.25em; text-decoration: none;">Ian Jobling</a>, the website editor and E-list moderator, and&nbsp;<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2006/summer/irreconcilable-differences/the-new-ra" style="line-height: 1.25em; text-decoration: none;">Stephen Webster</a>, assistant editor of<em style=" font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">American Renaissance</em>. Even before he started the New Century Foundation, Taylor wrote on race, penning a 1992 book,&nbsp;<em style=" font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">Paved With Good Intentions</em>, that argued because sterilizing welfare mothers would not be publicly accepted, authorities should instead provide such women with "five-year implantable contraceptives."</font>

<strong style=" line-height: 1.25em;">Pioneer Fund</strong>

&nbsp;</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4" style="">The&nbsp;<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/groups/pioneer-fund" style="line-height: 1.25em; text-decoration: none;">Pioneer Fund</a>&nbsp;was started in 1937 by textile magnate Wycliffe Draper with an original mandate to pursue "race betterment" by promoting the genetic stock of those "deemed to be descended predominantly from white persons who settled in the original thirteen states prior to the adoption of the Constitution." Many of those involved with the fund early on, including its first president Harry H. Laughlin, had "contacts with many of the Nazi scientists whose work provided the conceptual template for Hitler's aspiration toward 'racial hygiene' in Germany," according to an article in the<em style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">Albany Law Review</em>. In the 1960s, according to William Tucker's recent scholarly book,&nbsp;<em style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">The Funding of Scientific Racism</em>, many board members and recipients of Pioneer grants sought to block the civil rights movement. In recent decades, the fund has concentrated on making grants to academics interested in the alleged connection between race and intelligence, along with related matters. It also paid to distribute the racist French novel,&nbsp;<em style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">The Camp of the Saints</em>, and to publish an autobiography of Thomas Dixon, whose novels helped to romanticize the Klan and also to bring it back to life in 1915. Since 2002, the Pioneer Fund has been headed by J. Philippe Rushton, a Canadian professor who has produced work suggesting that blacks have "smaller brains, lower intelligence, lower cultural achievements, higher aggressiveness, lower law-abidingness, lower marital stability and less sexual restraint than whites," according to an article by psychologist Andrew S. Winston. Several organizations have recently refused grants from the fund in the wake of bad publicity. One recipient, Hiroko Arikawa of the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in Springfield, Mo., said she was returning her grant after being contacted for comment by the&nbsp;<em style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.25em;">Intelligence Report</em>.</font></p>
