| No Images? Click here   Welcome to week seven of HuffPost’s revamped newsletter about hate and extremism in America! Every week, reporters Luke O'Brien and Christopher Mathias will bring you news and insight from the dark corners of our increasingly polarized political system. From resurgent white nationalists and anti-government militia to social media propagandists and internet trolls, we’ll cover the characters and conversations from around the lunatic fringe. We’ll also look at the far left anti-fascist groups that battle the far right online and in the streets.When we learned that the anti-Semitic campaign spokesman for white nationalist Republican candidate Paul Nehlen was Jewish, we didn’t know what to make of it at first. Josh Smith, as the spokesman is now known, grew up in Pittsburgh as Dan Nusbaum. He had a bar mitzvah. He went off to college and law school. He seemed headed for a normal, successful life. But something went wrong along the way. Very wrong indeed.Over the course of several years, Smith morphed into an angry troll, first in the real world, then on social media. Eventually, he became an outright white nationalist, a man who when asked why someone of Jewish heritage would work to advance the cause of people who hate him answers:“[D]istrust of Jews is driven by Jews. To say that their behavior towards whites shocks the conscience would actually be a vast understatement. And they refuse to stop. Whites are the most successful, civilized race in human history, and have given us the most desirable and advanced civilizations on Earth. They are a distinct and precious minority in the world, and yet they are under a sustained attack from all directions. I refuse to stand idly by and allow whites to be dispossessed of their homelands, and I will sacrifice my own self-interests to ensure that whites may secure their existence and a future for their beautiful children.”Did we mention that Smith is also gay? And that he thinks that homosexuality is “degeneracy?” You may have gotten a push alert on your phone Thursday saying that Nikolas Cruz — the alleged murderer of 17 people at this week’s horrific school shooting near Miami — had connections to a small white supremacist paramilitary group called the Republic of Florida. The AP, Daily Beast, and yes, HuffPost reported it, relying on a press release by the Anti-Defamation League that quoted just one source — Jordan Jereb, the LARPy and attention-starved ROF leader, who told the ADL that Cruz trained with his group. But that story has mostly unraveled. Jereb appeared to backtrack Thursday night. “There was a misunderstanding because we have MULTIPLE people named Nicholas in ROF,” a user named @JordanJereb posted on Gab. “Are you really going to blame ME for the lying jew media? We know they are liars. Fuck em.” Who knows what Jereb knows. Maybe Cruz was somehow affiliated with ROF. What's clear is Jereb's desire to look like a real stormtrooper misled a country reeling from another mass murder of children. And that is some next-level cuckery. Tired of getting all your hateful anti-Muslim conspiracy theories online? Want to talk “civilizational jihad” IRL? Want to find a safe space away from all the Sharia-compliant dhimmis out there hastening the end of Judeo-Christian culture as we know it?! Then mark your calendars for September 4th and 5th! That’s when America’s largest anti-Muslim hate group is holding its 10th anniversary conference!That’s right! For the early-bird special price of just $299 you can join Act for America at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia. Worried that Hyatt Hotel Corporation might cancel on a bigoted group like Act for America? Don’t be!Derrick Morrow, the area vice president and general manager at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City, told HuffPost “the hotel does not unlawfully discriminate against groups who wish to hold lawful meetings at the hotel. The views and opinions expressed by hotel guests or groups do not necessarily reflect those of the hotel, its owners or colleagues.”It’s as if they don’t even know that hotels can cancel on hate groups. Three Virginia hotels in 2010 canceled contracts with those suit-and-tie racists over at the New Century Foundation. And just this past October when that events venue in Maryland kicked Richard Spencer and the National Policy Institute off its property.It’s almost like the people at Hyatt are betting that America is too Islamophobic to raise that big a fuss. Could be a solid bet! There could be a backlash brewing though.“There must be no room for hate at Hyatt hotels,” Scott Simpson, of the civil rights group Muslim Advocates, told HuffPost. “Hyatt’s mission statement proudly and boldly states: ‘We embrace all cultures, races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, ages, abilities, perspectives, and ways of thinking.’ Yet, the company’s decision to host ACT for America– the largest anti-Muslim hate group in America – is antithetical to these stated values and the ideals of our nation.”“We urge all Hyatt employees and potential guests to be aware that their hotel will be a hostile environment during this convention,” Simpson added. To understand the dangers posed by today’s far-right extremists we need to listen to them. Each week, the Angry White Men blog highlights a snippet of conversation from an “alt-right” podcast to show you how fascists and racists really think. Don't say we didn't warn you, America….Never take romantic advice from a Nazi. Never. In a special Valentine’s Day edition of The Daily Nationalist this Wednesday, Sven Longshanks, a British ethno-nationalist, spoke to Billy Roper, a longtime American Nazi, about dating and marriage. White power types tend to have ideas about romantic love that’d make the Puritans look progressive. Many of them disdain women’s suffrage and champion the traditional (or “trad”) lifestyle.Members of the “alt-right” white supremacist movement detest feminism and believe it has wreaked havoc on society by leading to abortion, promiscuity, no-fault divorce and the erosion of strict gender roles. More extreme alt-righters even support rape as punishment for disobedient women – part of what they refer to as “white sharia,” a term popularized by the heartthrobs at The Daily Stormer.On matrimony, both Longshanks and Roper favor arranged marriages, where “the girl wouldn’t see the boy” until the wedding, Longshanks said. (The “falling in love bit” and the “romance” comes several years later, he assured us.) Longshanks lamented that this was no longer the case, and that arranged marriages were replaced with marriages “for lust.” Roper, a thrice-divorced cud-chewer who infamously praised the 9/11 hijackers, blamed this change on — surprise! — Jews and their Hollywood depiction of modern romance. “[W]hat we’re promoting is the return to traditional, healthy, white, Aryan values,” he said.That’s when things got weird.Roper claimed that it’s important for a woman to stay a virgin until her wedding night because whenever she sleeps with a man, he said, “she absorbs some of his genetic material” which she then passes onto her children. The upshot of this scientific hypothesis, known as telegony, is that children will still carry on the genetic traits of a woman’s previous sex partners. A 2014 study found evidence of telegony in fruit flies, but it has never been observed in human beings. Telegony played a role in Nazi Germany’s racial science, which held that Aryan women who slept with non-white men could never again give birth to a pure, white child. To prevent this Rassenschande, or “racial defilement,” the Nazi regime passed the Nuremburg Laws which prohibited marriages and sexual relations between white women and Jews, blacks, and Romani people.Whatever you do, don’t swipe Reich.
