Blog post: Atomwaffen Division and TPUSA

Atomwaffen Division is a scary, scary outfit - tiny but well-armed and they are hard-core followers of James Mason's "Universal Order" ideology and printers/readers of Mason's ranty book SIEGE (which is one of those nasty books that I have) which features this insane love for Charlie Manson, because he was trying to start a race war (Surprise! Manson may have dressed as a hippie, but inside he was a Nazi loon with Scientology training to boot). I expect to see AWD gunned down trying to blow up a nuclear power plant or Hoover Dam, or they follow the Symbionese Liberation Army and die in a flaming shootout inside a burning building.

Turning Point USA is a goonier version of the stock College Republican group - they have watch lists on professors they don't like, they spy on profs, and their former national PR contact said she hated black people on Twitter. Oodles of dark money flow into TPUSA, which uses some of it to rig student elections by paying for campaigns. Only problem - they can't get any traction online (their Twitter account is useless with memes) or in real life with college students because the whole thing stinks of shilling.

I'm old enough to remember the very early days of industrial music in the late 1970s. Boyd Rice (NON) was a well-known character in the scene, and the punk/New Wave underground thought he was a cool guy, despite several fanzine interviews that showed he was a complete asshole AND was inordinately fond of fascist political theories. It's been said that he dropped out of sight in the mid-1980s partly because so many leftist punks hounded him.

And the Turning Point USA article on WP is a long and little-noticed shitshow. Many pro-Israel types fight over it with total nuts like (classic screaming WP leftist) DrFleischman, CFCF, and our old fiend Beyond My Ken. Guaranteed that RSquier has some kind of direct connection to TPUSA.

Boyd Rice joined (or ran with) the short-lived brownshirt outfit American Front in 1988-89.

This photo of Rice with AF founder Bob Heick was for the magazine Sassy, I saw it in the early-'90s book Blood in the Face (this version of it might be scanned from that tome.) Before that Rice had been a member of the Church of Satan and had spent time talking Satanism and fascism/National Socialism with Tom Metzger on Metzger's cable TV talkshow alongside fellow CoS member Michael Moynihan. Rice knows what buttons to push and how to push them at the right time, even if it gets goofy occasionally (his presence in the Tiki cultural revival around the turn of the century is proof of that.) He is no Julius Evola fixed on a plan to bring back fascism to Europe so he can push it into a greater tyranny; Rice is the Performance Art Hitlerite.

[Tacked-on postscript Yep, I should have looked at the Wikipedia article on Toilet Paper USA, but I stick to the theme if I can and it was "not Wikipedia." That Charlie Kirk's meme factory article has been fought over, threatened with outright deletion by the same sort of people who say nothing about Pokemon character lists, that the article mentions none of the "Nixon's Plumbers"-style tactics they use against profs they don't like, etc. is just SOP in WikiLand at this point. Sloppy, stupid crap that begs to be cleaned up by proofreaders from the encyclopedias Wikipedia put out of business seems to be the bill of fare now.]

For that matter, Boyd certainly has a very long WP article given what an obscure figure he is. One of the major editors is this "colorful character". And he's been on WP since 2004.

Who is actually artist Everett Jensen, yet another "aging situationist" type who likes fascism, satanism, noise music and other "outsider" subjects, but especially his cat:

Atomwaffen Division is also "colorful". Created last July by an "Irish revolutionary" whatsis, and fought over by Beyond My Ken and various others.

I'm guessing you ran the Irish name ("Claíomh Solais") through Google translate and it came out "Lighthouse", but when you look up the word elsewhere the phrase "teach solais" is supposed to be the correct one, and the word "Claíomh" means sword. The name really means "Sword of Light", a weapon in Irish and Scottish folktales.

Beyond my Ken will never stop with Wikipedia; he feels that despite his actual name being out there, that as long as he never acknowledges that he has been named, he can say to himself that nothing changed. And the Wikipedia culture encourages him to go on despite the open secret.
