Did you know there’s a new Volkisch movement happening in certain parts of America? If you haven’t seen the PBS documentary “Nazi Town, USA” I highly recommend it. If you’ve ever wondered about that part of your state or town that just doesn’t seem like the others, it might be because they have a 1920s German connection.
Yes 1920s not 1930s. America had lots of German youth camps here. The Texas floods even ran through a few of them. The church camp where the majority of the news coverage was centered is for girls. It was originally founded as the younger sibling camp to a boys camp founded earlier. The founder was someone who was well known at University of Texas for his speeches to the students, yet mysteriously there is almost no online record of the writings of this influential Texas University education figure during the 1920s and 1930s. Mentions of coaching sports at Nebraska, not of why students found the speaker compelling. Strange correct?
Not when you know that America had a companion set of Hitler youth-type camps for boys and League of German Girls-type camps. Lots of American history was purposefully swept under the rug. By people who were rightfully ashamed of their in-actions to a genocide. A Texas summer camp for boys founded in 1924 was only open to certain types of boys, Aryan looking ones. America also had a eugenics movement in the 1920s.
America’s Hidden History in WW2
Did you know that a gunpowder plant was sabotaged in New Jersey in 1940 by Germans? (technically the IRA agents working for the Abwehr, but it was a Third Reich plot)
Did you know Charles Lindergh gave an anti-war speech in Des Moines, Iowa on September 11th, 1941? Less than 100 days before Pearl Harbor. The United States failed Jews in the Holocaust because of the America First Party. History frames FDR as dragging the US into the war against popular demand….that was true.
It’s just that FDR’s opposition was the 1940s American Nazi equivalent. The German-American Bund was working with Republican members of Congress. Lovettsville air disaster has never had a film made about it, I’d watch a movie about that story. (ending portion highlighted by me)
Did you know that Joseph McCartney had ties to Francis Parker Yockey? The “Red Scare” was just third Reich anti-communist propaganda filtered through 1950s and 1960s America.
Did you know that before the proud boys there was the Silver Legion of William Dudley Pelley? They even wore the letter “L” to identify them as losers. That comic and movie trope is based on actual history. Silver shirts, blue tie, big red L.
A nationalist, fascist group,[13] the paramilitary Silver Legion wore a uniform modeled after the Nazis' brown shirts (SA),[20] consisting of a silver shirt with a blue tie, along with a campaign hat and blue corduroy trousers with leggings. The uniform shirts bore a scarlet letter L over the heart, which according to Pelley was "standing for Love, Loyalty, and Liberation."[20] The blocky slab serif L-emblem was in a typeface similar to the present-day Rockwell Extra Bold. The organizational flag was a plain silver field with a red L in the canton on the upper left hand corner. By 1934, the Legion claimed that it had 15,000 members.
Did you know that before there was Rush Limbaugh and his ilk, there was Father Charles Coughlin?
Does your seemingly conservative, rural area have a nudist camp?
I know that seems like a strange question. But these German summer camps were tied to the summer Eddas and often featured 19th century romantic German cultural ideas. One of these groups went back to the German/Nordic/Viking roots, the Aryans who followed the wacky mystical ideas were very back to nature hippies before hippies. Being free with nature was part of the deal for certain Volkisch groups.
The documentary linked below is about a different type of planned community. I just watched this last week, so this was the first thing I thought of when I looked at a map of Arkansas today. Pocahontas, AR is far away from Devil Den’s, so it was not at all related, though at 17:19 there is a map of lots of incidents all over the country. State parks all over are known to have hidden cannabis farms and homeless camps and sometimes even proper cabins.
I wrote this diary because more people should be aware of this other movement that is happening in places all over America, not current Arkansas events related. General knowledge, so I went down the full history path of why these places even exist in America and when they were originally founded.
That Jubilee Fascist roundtable didn’t surprise me because I know lots of places like RTTL exist in America. This is the world those far-right children imagine in their dreams. These are the communities they are jealous of and want to create.
There is a hidden history in America, The NRA funneled Russian money to Republicans running for office during 2016. Epstein advised Russia on how to avoid sanctions for their invasion of Crimea. Russia has kidnapped 35,000+ Ukrainian children for “Re-education” in Russia.
The NRA money wasn’t a big story here, but did you know that super wealthy Americans, Canadians, and Europeans have human safaris in war zones?
Epstein isn’t just a sex trafficking story, its the everything scandal. It’s not children being harmed in the past, its still happening today. Epstein’s legacy lives on as long as Russia is in Ukraine. To me, the last Epstein victim is the last kidnapped child who is returned home to Ukraine.
Similarly, the last American victim of Epstein is the last victim by anyone on the Epstein list. To me this cover-up extends to the most recent trafficking crime...not when Epstein died or Ghislaine went to prison. Most recent John Doe.
Sex crimes aren’t the only crimes the super wealthy commit. Sniper Alley in Sarajevo and the Human Safari in Kherson are very recent. Both have absolutely gut-wrenching documentaries available for free on YouTube or online. Sexual violence isn’t the only violence that sadists crave. Epstein is a story about “rules for thee but not for me”.
