Cryptos, Part I: Cloaked Websites
I’m going to borrow a term from Jessie Daniels and endorse the idea of using “cloaked websites” (how insidious!) to facilitate the transmission of racialist discourse. These sites wouldn’t be explicitly White Nationalist, but they would be controlled by our people and used to present our ideas on a level playing field. In particular, a popular discussion forum is needed where 18-25 year olds (youth cutting their teeth on racialism) can be exposed to a variety of far right ideologies. We have spent a lot of time discussing “front groups” offline and this is about the best example of one that comes to mind.
I’m not suggesting we create yet another White Nationalist forum. That’s about the last thing we need right now. Stormfront has already filled this niche and any similar project would only attract its rejects. Rather, we need a website that caters exclusively to intelligent, alienated, introspective college students who come online to discuss current events, politics, philosophy, history, race and topics of that nature. It would provide fertile soil for recruiting fresh blood into the movement. The best prospects could be identified and funneled upward as they mature into a higher tier of sites and networks, for instance, the racialist version of Lew Rockwell.com that we are aiming at creating here.
In a previous blog entry, I proposed building up a strong presence on Southern college campuses where White racial attitudes are still relatively strong. A crypto forum would prove a useful tool in identifying sympathizers on college campuses all across America. We could put bright, isolated people in touch with each other and seed academia with pro-White youth groups. When I was a younger man, I reached thousands of people this way, but I had a cavalier, nonchalant attitude and it never occurred to me to put this medium to any productive use. White Nationalism needs a tentacle of this sort to reach directly into the frat house and dorm room.
I’m too old to launch a project of this nature. I’ve outgrown that stage of my ideological development. Like Robert Campbell, I have already had my fill of these discussions, but I was reminded this past weekend that the rising generation below me hasn’t. These people are still going through that phase when they question authority. It is the ideal age to reach them. My younger brother and his friends have borrowed all of my old Nietzsche and Heidegger books. They would eat up an outlet of this sort if it were available.
A few points:
1) A “free speech” forum will degenerate into a circus. If any fool can register an account, the bad will chase out the good. I’ve seen it happen a million times before. In order for a project like this to work, it would require rigorous moderation to maintain a high level of discourse, like the filter in a swimming pool. The participants should be screened for intelligence and education, not ideological orientation. In this context, a smart anarchist is more interesting and useful to us than a dumb racialist.
2) The owners should be a consortium of older, more established figures in the movement. I have in mind men like Yggdrasil. These people could hand select the administrators and dispense with them as the occasion demands. This would forestall a situation in which a rogue administrator, who gets into a position of power by virtue of being a “friend” of someone important, is able to get away with wrecking an entire site.
3) A full time webmaster is indispensible. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to pay a clerk a small sum to take regular database backups and update the software. A friend of mine made the remark a few days ago that the NSDAP flopped as an organization until it hired its first full time secretary.
4) Such a website could be done for peanuts in comparison to the return it would earn. A vBulletin license and BlueHost hosting account is all it would take. You would also need 50 to 100 prescreened volunteers to get started and build momentum.
5) There is nothing resembling competition in the market. The closest sites don’t have the standards to attract and retain such an audience.
I have no interest in doing this. I’m fully committed to building up our presence in the blogosphere, or as I like to call it, the “second tier.” This would have to be someone else’s baby. I do need someone though working along these lines in the “first tier” below me. Combined, this “two tier strategy” could have a powerful impact.
In Cryptos (II), I will get around to addressing how moles could be used to funnel people into White Nationalism by stressing points of interest we have in common with other ideologies. I’ve had some second thoughts about these conductors of the pro-White Underground Railroad.
Note: I hope this post of mine proves eeevvvill enough to get special mention in the SPLC Intelligence Report or Jessie Daniels’ Cyber Racism.
