FTR#1426: Adam Parfrey, Boyd Rice and Counter-Culture Fascism, Part 2
Introduction: The second 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.
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.
These connections and Boyd Rice’s outlook and pronouncements will be further fleshed out in 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.
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. . . .”
From defunct “Unpop Art” site, run by Adam Parfrey and Boyd Rice.
2.Parfrey’s political outlook is exemplified by his communications with Nazi theoretician James Mason, whose Siege was published with Parfrey’s assistance.

” . . . . Yeah, the Jews got pissed at that magazine I sent you. None of them want to see my friend Hitler get his due . . . [Hitler] lifted the pride of the white people up and tried to get rid of the commies and exile the Jews where they wouldn’t hassle anyone but themselves . . . But of course ‘society’ is making an ‘example’ of Charles Manson in the same way they made an example of the Germans at Nuremburg . . . . I was looking for a spot 3,000 miles away from California, and found it in spades and spics and Jews and rich assholes . . . I want to work with you, but more than that, I hail you with a stiff-armed salute from ground zero. . . .”
3.Another revealing passage is contained in a later communication between Parfrey and Mason:
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. 215–216.
” . . . . I’m counting on heavy censorship, condemnation and subtle boycotts by ZOG [Zionist Occupation Government] when it appears. I’m trying to get together a book written by nigger and spic gang members on youth gangs for release at about the same time. To me, letting these cocaine-addled nigger murderers prattle on about their miserable lives will be rope enough for them to hang themselves. But then I can always point to the book when the ADL gets on my case about racism, neo-Nazism, etc. . . .”
4.Highlighting Parfrey’s bigotry against Latinos and his anticipation of “The Great Replacement Theory” that has become a watchword in the second Trump regime, Parfrey wrote to [important Nazi theoretician and practitioner James] Mason:
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; p. 216.
“ . . . . a country that is overcome by immigrants of racial difference would have been called an ‘invasion.’ I live in a Mexican gang neighborhood, gunfire every night. Many of the Mexicans who move here aren’t aware that we have flush toilets, so many deposit their babies’ shitty diapers in public places. . . . What might happen when these people can’t get food stamps or welfare? What about a simple drought or a severe economic situation? I don’t look forward to those times , but I do have front row seats to the apocalypse. . . .”
5.Exemplifying and illustrating Parfrey’s ideological orientation is his description of the Second World War. Note that he omits all reference to the Pacific theater of war.
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; p. 216.
“ . . . . Parfrey described that war [World War II] as ‘really a civil war between white people, and white people have been feeling guilty about themselves ever since.’. . .”
6.Pafrey’s journalistic ethics are illustrated by an excerpt from his writing in Nazi Robert Heick’s Aryan Warrior.
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; p. 217.
“ . . . . He [Parfrey] also specifically mentioned that [Nazi Robert] Heick’s Aryan Warrior included ‘contributions from a Manson-inspired group called the Abraxas Foundation that preaches a doctrine of evil’—while conveniently omitting his own membership in said group. . . .”
7.Parfrey manifested a virulent, profane misogynism.
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; p. 223.
“ . . . . In Kevin Coogan’s article [‘How Black is Black Metal/’] one of the endnotes said ‘Feral House types hated women like Andrea Juno.’ Parfrey replied that ‘Not one word has ever been printed in a Feral House book insulting or even discussing Andrea Juno.’ Coogan’s reply was to quote an interview where Parfrey himself called Juno ‘a psychotic cunt.’. . .”
8.Parfrey’s significance in the expansion of important Nazi James Mason’s ideology is encapsulated in a communication to Parfrey by Mason:
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. 217–218.
“ . . . . In late 1992, Mason thanked Parfrey for being ‘primarily the one that first picked up my old leaflets from the mid-Seventies and breathed new life into my stuff’ and sold him the mockups of his late 1970s flyers and magazines. Parfrey was also thanked in Siege and after he got is copy, told Mason that, ‘I’m bowled over by the SIEGE book’ and that ‘it’s better than good: it’s definitive!’. . .”

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.

In his latest Patreon talk, Dave highlighted the view prevalent among Tech AI oligarchs that humanity is just a discardable prelude to a future inhabited by “post-human” tech super-beings, as well as the possibility that the global economic catastrophe looming as a result of the Iran war may be an intentional “accelerationist” destruction of the institutions of our civilization.

FTR#‘s 1400, 1401, 1402, 1403: What Does the “W” in George W. Bush Stand For?, Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4
Introduction: With the ascent of Donald Trump to the White House (again), many people have belatedly grasped what Mr. Emory has been warning about for 47 years as of the time of this writing and recording: fascism has come to America.
The following four segments comprise a lecture given in October of 2000. They demonstrate that fascism is nothing new to the U.S., and that it is inextricably-link
Accelerationist Nazism and the Trump Regime
Recent Patreon talks by Dave analyze the Trump regime against the background of an accelerationist Nazi ideology, seeing in the disintegration of public health, the economy, the environment, the judicial system and civil society as desirable. They feel that their Nazi and Confederate ideological agenda will rise from the ashes.

FTR#1311 How Many Lies Before You Belong to the Lies?, Part 26
The war in Ukraine has served to make the normalization of Nazis almost routine. This broadcast highlights that normalization, places it in a broader historical context and sets forth essential background information that fleshes out understanding of the phenomenon.
Points of Analysis and Discussion Include:
1a.–The program begins with review of a critical insight made by Glenn Pinchback, an officer at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. This insight encapsulates an ideological dynamic that has, in part, resulted in the normalization of Nazis via the Ukraine war.
1b.–Exemplifying the normalization of Nazis is the whitewashing of the Plast organization by the New York Times, which presents it as a normal summer camp.
2.–A more accurate portrayal of the Plast organization was presented by Scott Ritter: “ . . . . Plast is to Ukrainian nationalists like the Hitler Youth was to German Nazis. . . .”
3.–The whitewashing of Plast can be seen as deriving from the cultivation of Ukrainian and other Eastern European fascist groups by the Gehlen organization.
4.–For the second time this year, Azov Nazis were feted as heroes at Stanford University.
5.–Stanford fellow and conservative luminary Francis Fukuyama was among those who celebrated the Azov Nazis.
6.–Azov’s Nazis evolved directly from the Third Reich collaborationist government of Ukraine. Roman Svarych, WWII Ukrainian Nazi satrap Yaroslav Stetsko’s personal secretary in the 1980’s, was instrumental in the spawning of Azov. Svarych was the Minister of Justice of Ukraine under three different administrations. (That is the equivalent of U.S. Attorney General.)
7.–Ukrainian revisionist Volodymyr Viatrovych served as Minister of Education in Ukraine.
8.–Ukrainian school children are now taught the doctrine of fascist and anti-Semitic ideologue Ulas Samchuk.
9.–Apologists for the Ukrainian fascists cite Vlodymyr Zelensky’s Jewish heritage as proof that Ukraine isn’t infested with Nazis. Zelensky is extensively networked with the Azov Nazis.
10.–Former U.S. Airborne soldier Brian Boyenger appears to have assisted the Georgian Legion in the Maidan false-flag sniper killings. Boyenger also presides over Task Force Pluto, which has incorporated U.S. Nazis into its ranks, including indicted murderers.
11.–Former Marine and U.S. Nazi Christopher Pohlhaus is training American Nazis to fight in Ukraine. One wonders if his trainees will return to the U.S. in order to subdue those who figure to be blamed for “losing” Ukraine.
Ukraine 24 Channels (Ahem) Eichmann
Supplementing the observations Mr. Emory has made concerning the Ukraine War and the attendant media coverage as a “philosopher’s stone” alchemically turning the West, both as individuals and institutions, into the same fabric as the Ukraine Institute of National Memory, we [again] highlight a commentary on Ukraine 24–one of the country’s premier television outlets. The announcer quotes Adolf Eichmann verbatim in this video from UKRAINE 24. WFMU-FM is podcasting For The Record–You can subscribe to the podcast HERE. Mr. Emory emphatically recommends that listeners/readers get the 32GB flash drive containing all of Mr. Emory’s 43 years on the air, plus a library of old anti-fascist books on easy-to-download PDF files.
Summoning The Demon: Endgame of Social Darwinism?
In L‑2 (recorded in January of 1995), the dominant ideological tenet of Social Darwinism was analyzed in the context of the evolution of fascism. When AI’s actualize the concept of “Survival of the Fittest,” they are likely to objectively regard a [largely] selfish, small-minded, altogether mortal and desirous humanity with the determination that THEY–the AI’s–are the fittest. Nearly 20 years later–in 2014–physicist Stephen Hawking warned that AI’s would indeed wipe us out, if given the opportunity.
