FTR#1425: Adam Parfrey, Boyd Rice and Counter-Culture Fascism, Part 1

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 first pro­gram of a two-part series, this broad­cast sets forth 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.

An impor­tant recent book by Spencer Sun­shine details the efforts of the two most impor­tant efforts 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 will be fleshed out in the sec­ond 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:

” . . . . 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. . . .”

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:

” . . . . 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. . . .”
