Enlightened Former Bircher

The article "Enemies on the Right: The John Birch Society and Individualism" in issue No. 116 (August-September 1996) really struck home with this reader. I was a member of the John Birch Society from 1969 to 1979. I was a teenager when I joined, but by the mid-1970s I knew the Birchers weren't giving me the whole story.

Ironically, it was at a John Birch Society Council dinner in New York in 1975 that I saw my first issue of National Vanguard (which was called Attack! then). A man was handing them out in the lobby of the hotel where the Birch dinner was being held. One Bircher warned me, "Don't read that stuff. It's Nazi." That was just the right thing to whet my curiosity!

It took me 15 more years to become a member of the National Alliance. After I left the Birchers, but before I really understood the race issue, I joined the Libertarian Party. The Birchers loathe the libertarians nearly as much as they loathe the National Alliance. In truth, the Birchers don't even believe in individualism. These "kosher conservatives" want liberty to make money, and that's about it. If they took individualism seriously they would have to become anarchists, but that would be contrary to their prudish ideas about sex.

Thankfully, we White men and women have had the late William Simpson, the late Revilo Oliver, and others to show us the way to the light. More important, we have the National Alliance. I just hope that it doesn't take all our potential members 15 years to join, like it did me!

Your site on the World Wide Web kicks ass! You state truths I thought could not be stated except by word of mouth, and then only in whispers. Being able to listen to your American Dissident Voices broadcasts and read your National Vanguard articles has been the highlight of my week--no, my month! Keep up your struggle for the freedom of America.

Believing Isn't Enough

I am a 34-year-old American teaching English at a university in Hungary. All of my adult life I have been a believer in National Socialism. However, I have not yet become actively involved in any organization.

In comparing your materials with those I had seen earlier from other organizations, I was heartened. In your realistic approach I find a refreshing integration of the fundamental philosophical principles in which I believe and a determined optimism that I find encouraging.

But is it not already too late? Are the Zionists not already too deeply dug in with their police state, their control of the world's mass media, and their strategy of mass hypnosis? With the world's most advanced technology at their fingertips and the capacity for computerized surveillance of the world's population, is it not child's play for Big Brother to keep files on, track down, and persecute anyone who gives even a hint of sympathizing with your movement? In short, is our war not already lost, no matter how many White people become racially conscious and take steps to resist?

Editor's Reply:

I will let two outstanding National Socialists answer your questions. First, it was Hans Ulrich Rudel, Germany's most decorated combat pilot and one of the true heroes of the Second World War, whose personal motto was: "Only he is lost who gives himself up for lost." And I presume you will know who it was who told us that it is not enough to say, "Ich glaube," but that one also must declare, "Ich kämpfe!"
