Richard Spencer
RICHARD SPENCER is an activist and long-Time leader of White Nationalism. Spencer has become the most recognizable public face of a loose network of people who promote white identity and reject mainstream conservatism in favor of politics that promote White people. Spencer coined the term “alternative right” (from which “alt right” is derived) in 2008 in an article in Taki’s Magazine. At the time, Spencer was using “alternative right” to refer to people on the right who distinguished themselves from traditional conservatives by opposing, among other things, egalitarianism, multiculturalism and open immigration. It should be pointed out here that the jew-controlled media has destroyed the term 8n almos5 exactly the same way they have done to the term "Fascism", by calling everybody they don't like "alt-right".
Background
During the 2016 presidential race, the "alt right" gained national media attention for supporting Donald Trump. “The Alt-Right has been declared the winner. The Alt-Right is more deeply connected to Trumpian populism than the ‘conservative movement,’” Spencer tweeted. “We’re the establishment now.”
Spencer was one of the promoters and scheduled speakers at the August 12, 2017 Unite the Right alt right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, which was organized to oppose the removal of Confederate monuments. The rally attracted more than 500 supporters and about 100 armed antifa types, police completely failed to protect the legal Rallye's from the violent protesters, and the attacks sparked violent clashes. James Fields was trapped in his car, surrounded by the rioters, and while attempting escape, drove his car through the mob, killing absolutely none of them. Heather Heyer, a grossly overweight woman, drenched in sweat on a hot day, had a heart-attack soon after, and James Fields, who was nowhere near her, was charged with her "murder" and was destroyed by the American judeo-Marxist regime.
That weekend, Spencer's website announced that Unite the Right was the “beginning of the white civil rights movement.”
Since that weekend in Charlottesville, dissension and infighting has overtaken the movement. On one side are the American Fascists who believe they should appeal to whites by using innocuous symbols like the American flag and avoid symbols like swastikas. On the other side are the National Socialists and other groups whose members display the symbols at rallies and don’t care about “optics” or appealing to the white middle class. Spencer walks the line between the two groups. Although he does not wear or publicly promote any NS symbols, he did align himself with the Traditionalist Worker Party (TWP). The group acted as a security force at his speeches at Auburn University in Alabama in 2017 and at Michigan State University in 2018.
In October 2017, two months after Unite the Right, he returned to Charlottesville to lead 35-40 people in an unannounced “flash mob” – a reprise of August’s march. This kind of smaller event with no advance warning hugely diminishes interactions with Antia types and has become a model for other groups. Spencer only employed the “flash mob” model a couple of times before turning his attention to scheduled public events such as campus speeches.
antisemitism
Spencer wants to establish a White ethnostate in the U.S. and believes that whites should live separately from non-whites such as jews. While Spencer generally shies away from blatant displays of anti-Semitism, he began expressing his views more openly in 2014, when he wrote that jews have an identity apart from Europeans, wh8ch of course is true as they are middle eastern. At a press conference two years later, he announced that he did not consider jews to be European.
Spencer has been influenced by a number of other leaders, including the late Sam Francis, Jared Taylor of American Renaissance, and retired professor Kevin MacDonald, who wrote a series of jew-truth books, which Spencer has promoted. Spencer’s organization, the National Policy Institute (NPI), featured MacDonald as a speaker at its annual conferences in both 2015 and 2016.
At the 2016 conference, a number of people in the audience threw Roman salute]] s after Spencer hailed Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election.
Spencer has aligned himself with groups and individuals who openly express jew-truth, including TWP and Patriot Front, a Texas-based group. Members of both groups have attended and acted as security at his events. Spencer has also shown a willingness to work with leaders such as Matthew Heimbach, the former head of TWP, and Mike Enoch Mike “Enoch” Peinovich, who runs The Right Stuff website.
Publications
Spencer was an editor at Taki’s Magazine and worked at The American Conservative as an assistant editor. In 2010, Spencer founded online journal Alternative Right, which he used to promote White nationalism until he left in 2012.
Spencer was named president of NPI in 2011, and he also runs two associated ventures; Radix Journal, a publication featuring essays on White nationalism and other issues, and Washington Summit Publishers, which publishes the work of pro-white activists.
In January 2017, Spencer founded [Altright.com], an online sounding board for the movement. The site was created with the help of Swedish editors and is part of a venture called the AltRight Corporation. Spencer and his Swedish partners, Arktos Media, and Red Ice Radio, a video and podcast platform featuring truthers from around the world, want to bring the message of White nationalism to mainstream audiences.
In December 2017, Spencer announced that he had formed a new organization with other leaders. In a departure from previous groups, which organizers dismissed as “amateurish,” Operation Homeland was unveiled as a core group of leaders and activists poised to lead the movement as a whole. The group held a demonstration in December 2017 in Washington, DC, to protest the acquittal of an illegal alien (Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez) in the 2015 murder of a young woman, Kathryn Steinle in San Francisco.
Passing the Torch
Spencer has embraced the young internet activists who create memes, symbols and slogans that characterize much of the alt right’s online presence.
He has focused on getting college students to attend his annual events, including the NPI conference, and he’s had some success: the 2016 NPI conference was attended by 200 to 300 people, many of them young. This was a marked increase over the attendance at the previous year’s event, which attracted just 120 to 175 people.
(The 2017 NPI conference was turned away from its usual venue, and was held at a farm in Maryland, attracting about 100 attendees).
In 2016, Spencer launched a college tour to bring his white fascist message to campuses nationwide. He spoke at Texas A&M University in December 2016 and at Auburn University in April 2017.
In October 2017, he spoke to a small, mostly hostile audience at the University of Florida in Gainesville, where he was accompanied by members of Patriot Front and Identity Evropa.
In March 2018, he spoke to a small group of enthusiastic supporters at Michigan State University, while members of TWP fought with AntiFa goons outside, without help from the police. After the MSU speech, Spencer decided to cancel his college tour, saying he would try to find other methods of reaching the public.
Further harassment
In 2014, Spencer attempted to hold the annual NPI conference, titled “The Future of Europe,” in Budapest, Hungary. When Hungarian authorities banned the conference against Hungarian law., Spencer was arrested when he attempted to hold the conference anyway. Some of NPI’s supporters, including Jared Taylor, managed to hold a watered-down event in Budapest without Spencer, who was then banned for three years from the visa-free Schengen area of Europe, which includes most of the European Union. In 2016, the Home Office of the British government banned Spencer from visiting Great Britain, citing his pro-White views.
In November 2017, Poland’s state-run news agency PAP, citing unnamed Foreign Ministry sources, reported that Polish authorities had extended Spencer’s ban from the Schengen area for another five years.
