FTR#1427 This pro­gram was record­ed in one, 60-minute seg­ment.

NB: This post con­tains strong lan­guage, which may prove offen­sive to many. Mr. Emory feels it is impor­tant to present Par­frey’s ide­o­log­i­cal pro­nounce­ments in all of their can­dor, in order to present an unerr­ing pre­sen­ta­tion of his polit­i­cal out­look.

Intro­duc­tion: The con­clud­ing pro­gram of a three-part series, this broad­cast fur­ther devel­ops the Nazi and White Suprema­cist efforts and ide­ol­o­gy under­pin­ning Adam Par­frey, a pub­lish­er whose fas­cist out­look and pro­fes­sion­al works have flown large­ly below the radar.

The pro­gram also intro­duces the fas­cist ide­ol­o­gy and Nazi-fel­low trav­el­ing of Par­frey’s Abraxas Clique asso­ciate Boyd Rice, as well as plac­ing their efforts in the con­text of the dead­ly man­i­fes­ta­tions of the Atom­waf­fen group.

An impor­tant recent book by Spencer Sun­shine details the efforts of the two most impor­tant mem­bers of the Abraxas Clique, a neo­fas­cist “think tank,” that aimed at the cre­ation and dis­sem­i­na­tion of “coun­ter­cul­tur­al fas­cism.”

Com­bin­ing a fix­a­tion with, and ide­al­iza­tion of, Charles Man­son with ele­ments of Satanism and tra­di­tion­al Nazi and White Suprema­cist rhetoric and ide­ol­o­gy, Par­frey, Rice and Abraxas helped mint a sig­nif­i­cant, though large­ly over­looked, stra­tum in the con­tem­po­rary and ongo­ing fas­cist polit­i­cal land­scape.

From defunct “Unpop Art” site, run by Adam Par­frey and Boyd Rice.

These con­nec­tions and Boyd Rice’s out­look and pro­nounce­ments are fur­ther fleshed out in this, the third pro­gram in this series.

The phe­nom­e­non of counter-cul­ture fas­cism, the Man­son oper­a­tion and relat­ed top­ics are cov­ered in, among oth­er pro­grams, FTR#‘s 437, 1085, 1163, 1164, 1165 and FTR#‘s 1391, 1392, 1393.

Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Includes: Boyd Rice’s embrace of Rang­nar Red­beard’s Might is Right; Rice’s net­work­ing with Anton La Vey; Anton La Vey’s over­laps with the Nazi milieu; Abrax­as­’s 8/8/88 event; The cel­e­bra­tion of the Tate-La Bian­ca killings (which took place on the same date in 1969; Rice’s appear­ance on right-wing Chris­t­ian Bob Lar­son­’s show; The pres­ence of Doris Tate in that appear­ance (with the Man­son-cel­e­brat­ing Rice); Rice’s involve­ment with Nazi Robert Heick; Rice’s appear­ance in Nazi uni­form (bran­dish­ing a knife) along­side Heick; Heick­’s Amer­i­can Front and its involve­ment with the dead­ly Nazi skin­head move­ment; Rice’s belief that the world should return to a “Pre-Chris­t­ian” state; Rice’s belief that three-quar­ters of the earth­’s pop­u­la­tion should be exter­mi­nat­ed; The influ­ence of James Mason and “Siege” on the dead­ly Atom­waf­fen milieu; Mason’s embrace of total vio­lence or com­plete drop-out from soci­ety.

1.The work of the Abraxas Clique is syn­op­sized by Spencer Sun­shine as fol­lows:

Neo-Nazi Ter­ror­ism and Coun­ter­cul­tur­al Fas­cism: The Ori­gins and After­life of James Mason’s Siege by Spencer Sun­shine; Rout­ledge Press [SC]; Copy­right 2024 by Spencer Sun­shine; ISBN 978–0‑367–19060‑6; pp. 164–165.

” . . . . Part of the goal of the Abraxas Clique’s inter­est in 1960s fig­ures like Man­son, [Church of Satan founder] Anton] La Vey . . . . was to help build a lin­eage of ‘coun­ter­cul­tur­al fas­cism.’ ”. . . This vision of a reac­tionary cul­tur­al move­ment was not based on tra­di­tion­al forms, but rather avant-garde and icon­o­clas­tic approaches–was anoth­er way in which the Alt Right of the 2010s inher­it­ed the fruits of Abraxas Clique’s labors. . . .”
