This is one I can’t pin down, which is unusual.  I think the problem is the sheer volumn of work MacDonald has churned out in the past few years makes it almost impossible to do a true web search on her.  Every instinct I have tells me she’s not ‘kosher’ but I can’t prove it.  Anyone as prolifically anti-hispanic and as seriously racist as MacDonald has something in a closet somewhere.  The problem is her past is buried so deeply I can’t crack it.  She’s squeeky clean, so far.  But, someone who is cited so much by Malkin, Vdare, Steven Sailor, Sam Francis, American Resistance, American Renaissance, etc. isn’t a saint. I was finally able to prove she is playing fast and lose with the facts and sourcing on Hispanic culture.  Frankly, in my humble opinion, she is probably one of the worst, most biased anti-hispanic source out there today. 

When dealing with anything about immigration, the first thing a person needs to know is to look beyond the hype and investigate the credentials of the author of a piece.  Heather MacDonald is no exception.  In NRO she has an extremely biased, one sided kill piece about the Hispanic family.  She’s an expert, right?  Well, Vdare has her as part of the libertarian (a kicker right there) Manhattan Institute. And a Source Watch profile reveals nothing that could point to MacDonald’s racism against Hispanics.  MacDonald is one of the promoters of the racist, Hispanic Family Values (check out this Vdare which parrots her).  I know she is using the racist Myth of Hispanic Family Values from American Resistance, but I can’t prove it.

(Note:  The thing that gets me about libertarians and illegal immigration – Libertarians are allegedly for limited government – as little as possible – but the anti-immigration stance many of them take is the ultimate Big Brother.  You can’t have it both ways.  A true libertarian would let these guys come and go over the border and live and let live.  As it is, they are some of the biggest promoters of Draconian immigration laws.  Go figure.  I’m not bright enough.)

From her profile on One People’s Project (which is quite liberal, but the person doing it is an ex-hate monger so I give him a break) “…A non-practicing lawyer fresh from stints at the EPA and as a clerk for a Judge Stephen Reinhardt in California, Heather MacDonald moved to the city from Los Angeles in 1987 and jumped into the racial tensions going on there at the time. She found herself at a conservative think tank called the Manhattan Institute (MI) This lovely place was founded by former CIA director William Casey and in the past was funded by far right eugenics advocates such as the Pioneer Fund and others, Many of those other backers also backed Hitler’s rise to power. One of them, Chase Bank, has publicly apologized for its support of Hitler, but where today’s hate politics are concerned, MI does not seem so forgiving. They have sponsored eugenics projects, most notably the pro-eugenics book The Bell Curve, a best-selling book that proposed the idea that blacks are mentally inferior. On one website, it is noted that while the Manhattan Institute does not publicly advocate mass extermination or mass relocation of minorities the policies it does promote are mostly about targeting black and Latino inner city populations in such a way as to make relocation an attractive option and elimination a day to day reality. …”

Her immigration numbers are skewed, but you can’t pin her down. The closest I can get is this AZ Central article.   “…Nearly two dozen organization members handed lawmakers two-page documents that they called the “real facts.” Richard White, president of the organization, called Pearce’s rhetoric a smear campaign against “a whole people that tends to create division and fear.”The purpose is to advance a political agenda of hard-line immigration reforms by instilling fear in the public and pressure among lawmakers to act, White said.”I hope the public will recognize the song and dance for what it is,” he said.Statistics can be slippery ground, and even the organization’s fact sheet didn’t compare apples to apples as, in one instance, Pearce cited statistics on federal prisoners and the Interfaith Network responded with statistics on prisoners in state facilities.Pearce has said that one-third of federal prisoners are illegal. The Network points out that fewer than 12 percent of those incarcerated in state prisons are Mexican nationals.The Republic found that nearly 28 percent of those incarcerated in federal prisons are not U.S. citizens, according to the Federal Bureau of Prison Statistics. That’s 5 percentage points short of a third and doesn’t take into account foreign-born residents who are in the country legally. Pearce, R-Mesa, said he got the statistic from CNN. Pearce also was called on a statistic that said 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide in Los Angeles target illegal immigrants.But officers at the LA Police Department and Sheriff’s Office say they aren’t sure how that fact was deduced.”I don’t know where those come from,” said Lt. Paul Vernon, who handles public information with the LAPD. Much like in Phoenix, officers do not check immigration status. Neither LA nor Phoenix police departments track the number of illegal immigrants involved in crimes, officials said. The statistic appears to have originated with Heather MacDonald, who is listed as a scholar with the Manhattan Institute in New York. MacDonald could not be reached for comment on Monday.”

And debunking MacDonald’s stats on illegals, CA, crime, and gangs from the LA Times. 

“Just the Facts– UPDATED

Author Greg Robinsonmakes an interesting point about Malkin that can be applied to many of the RINO conservatives of the extreme right. “Also, Malkin, unlike all other writers I have seen, deliberately impugns the motives of those who disagree with her. Although she sets herself up as a disinterested seeker for truth with an open mind, she is gratuitously nasty towards all others: “Unlike many others who have published on this subject, I have no vested interests: I am not an evacuee, internee, or family member thereof. I am not an attorney who has represented evacuees or internees demanding redress for their long-held grievances. I am not a professor whose tenure relies on regurgitating academic orthodoxy about this episode in American history.” Well, I am none of these things, apart perhaps from being a professor, and I was not even that when I researched and wrote my book. I am mindful, however, of the wise counsel of Sidney Hook, who in his “Ethics of Controversy” reminded people “[b]efore impugning an opponent’s motives, even when they legitimately may be impugned, answer his arguments.” Since there is a great deal to criticize in Malkin’s arguments from a logical and historical point of view, I will start by focusing on that.”  Robinson has picked up on a problem with the entire ‘genera’ of Malkin-Coulter type RINO Conservatives.  They do the impugning thing about motives but never bother ansering the criticism.

Once upon a time (2001) Malkin wrote this piece about Senator Robert Byrd.  Please read it carefully.  “If this ex-Klansman were a conservative Republican, he would never hear the end of his sordid past. “Ex-Klansman who opposed civil rights and black justices” would appear in every reference to Sen. Byrd. And even the “ex-” would be in doubt. Maxine Waters and Ralph Neas and Julianne Malveaux and Al Sharpton and all the other left-wing bloodhounds who sniff racism in every crevice of American life would be barking up a storm over Sen. Byrd’s latest fulminations. Instead, the attack dogs are busy decrying latent racial bigotry where it doesn’t exist, while the real thing roams wild and free in their own political backyard.” Yet by her very association with certain anti-immigration and anti-Hispanic personalities, Malkin has become ‘the enemy’. But, the problem is no one seems to care.

“It is always funny when anti-immigrant activists try to declare they are not racist in their anti-immigrant activities, or that they would never associate with anyone that is. It is always funny, because if that was the case, they would not have all that many people within their circles. The new stunt is to find as many black people that they can to join them in protests to show the world that they are not the racist ignoramuses people like us peg them to be. Sure, Latinos are a plus, but since many blacks have expressed their own hatred of Mexicans, they are easier to recruit. It will work except for one thing: the white supremacists are still within their ranks, and that makes for a little comedy.” FromOne People’s Project. We should also note this is a very liberal web site.  But, the truth is the truth and intellectually honest conservatives should be able to recognize the truth and accept it. 

Michelle Malkin presents a real conundrum.  On one hand she is a very patriotic American, relentless in her champion of our military and the war on terror.  She is merciless as she attacks liberal hacks who constantly seek to devalue the war, the military, and truly harm us with their foolish anticts.  But there is also a Michelle Malkin who is a ruthless opponent of immigration, someone who associates with known racists, white supremacists, naturists, separatists, and those who even are less savory – all in an attempt to cleanse the nation of illegal immigrants.

One can understand her dislike of the Japanese culture when one considers her family came out of the Philippines after World War II, and they truly saw some nasty stuff, but that should make a person less racist, not more.  Her anti-immigration associates are truly anti-Hispanic bigots.  Why would a person like Malkin associate with them? 

Some of the answers can be found in a series of essays by Muller and Robinson on Is That Legal.  They discuss the inaccuracies of Malkin’s 2004 In Defense of Internment.  The question is does Malking have the courage to go where none of us in this politically correct world fear to go or is she just plain racist?  Or is she intellectually dishonest?  Maybe, as Muller and Robinson show, it is a combination of the three.

The following is excerpted from their essays:

“…A big part of what drove Michelle to write this book was her disgust with people on the left who have never met an antiterrorism policy they like, and who have trotted out the scary specter of the incarceration of Japanese Americans at every opportunity…Now I hasten to add that Michelle is also slaying dragons of her own creation. She’s outraged, she says (see pages 95-99), at all of the people who liken the War Relocation Authority’s “Relocation Centers” for Japanese Americans to Nazi death camps by naming them with the historically accurate term “concentration camps.” (That’s what FDR himself called them — see the quotation from FDR on page 21 of Michelle’s book.)…I don’t have the faintest idea who Michelle is talking about here. I know of no one who compares Manzanar to Auschwitz, and Michelle’s book doesn’t cite anyone who does so… But Michelle does exactly the same thing, rejecting the historically authentic term “concentration camp” while insisting on using the historically authentic but grossly misleading term “evacuation.” (People are “evacuated” in order to protect them from a threat, such as a hurricane or a forest fire. Japanese Americans were evicted from their homes, not evacuated.)…If in fact there were people who compared this country’s camps for Japanese Americans to Nazi Germany’s death camps, I would certainly understand Michelle’s angry desire to set the record straight. My grandfather was in Buchenwald,** and I’d be as outraged as anyone–probably more outraged than most–by the suggestion that this government ran places like that. But–to foreshadow my next post on this topic–the way to counter a comparison of Manzanar to Buchenwald is to describe Manzanar carefully. It is not to compare Manzanar to a Boy Scout Camp, which Michelle comes very close to doing. …**I note that Michelle has set up an “errata” page for the book. Here’s one. On page 99, she says that “[h]istorians who compare the American relocation camps to Dachau and Bergen-Belsen will be hard-pressed to find a single European Jew who … was given permission to leave … a Nazi death camp.” Not so. Nearly all of the German and Austrian Jews (like my grandfather) who were seized at Kristallnacht and taken to Dachau, Buchenwald, and Sachsenhausen in early November of 1938 were released over the following several months. Those who could not get visas out of Germany and Austria were later recaptured and killed (like my great uncle Leopold). But Nazi Germany’s policy from the mid- to late 1930s was to “encourage” (by which I mean terrorize) Jews into leaving the country. You can read more about this episode here if you’re interested….

Robinson also wrote, “Malkin thus follows in the paranoid style of Lillian Baker, the most important internment denier, whose gift to posterity, “The Concentration Camp Conspiracy,” likewise charges an immense conspiracy on the part of Japanese Americans to defraud the government and distort history. To be fair, Malkin does not go as far as Baker in claiming that the camps were pleasant places or that the guard towers were for the inmates’ protection. Still, her central premise is that the government acted justly in establishing camps to which Japanese Americans were “free to move elsewhere (initially)” “free to leave” and ” free to enter”. This is a serious distortion. Let us break down her comments….She might have gone further, in order to defend the government, to point out that the War Relocation Authority did initially intend to place Japanese Americans in communities outside the West Coast, but that when WRA Director Milton Eisenhower visited a Western Governor’s conference, the rabid anti-Japanese sentiment he experienced forced him to shelve his plans and prepare for confinement for the duration. Rather, Ms. Malkin’s talent for overkill shows itself in her insistence that hostility from inland Japanese-Americans was a significant factor in striking fear in the hearts of the West Coasters.”

Maybe Malkin is not as accurate as we think she is.  

Let’s start at the begining.  Malkin is the daughter of immigrants.  An aspiring concert artist, she attracted the attentions of future husband Jesse Malkin while in college  A career in journalism was the result.  As her husband acquired position, Malkin’s writing style became nastier and nastier.   

From this ‘liberal’ profile, we learn the following:

“…Tying every issue to a leering swipe at the physical appearance, personal style or intimate life of a prominent figure — especially those with a high sex-appeal quotient — was becoming Malkin’s trademark. It didn’t matter that the subject had done nothing to invite focus on her personal life. Even Elizabeth Dole didn’t escape Malkin’s radar. In “Is Bush a Liddy Dole Republican?” (Mar. 17, 2000) Malkin snipes, “She’s baaaack. Elizabeth Dole has been buffed, polished, and pulled off the Republican trophy shelf by Texas Gov. George W. Bush in a lame attempt to attract liberal women voters,”. Malkin even seemed to hint at a bit of sexual chemistry between Dole and Bush. “She cooed that Bush was ‘my kind of conservative.’” She sexualizes Dole with the gratuitous observation: “The woman nicknamed ‘Sugar Lips’ has been wading inside the Beltway for decades, like a giddy queen bee in a bottomless pot of taxpayer-subsidized honey….”

“…Malkin was becoming skilled at supplying back-door titillation to those who liked to heap righteous indignation on supposed immorality while leering at its sexiest exponents. Some observers thought Malkin was out to make herself an object of right-wing titillation. For her column’s headshot she cultivated a put-together look that included parted lips coated with red lipstick, big wind-blown hair and a red blouse unbuttoned to expose a prominent V of flesh…”

Anyone reading this piece finds uncomfortable racial references.  The only possible explanation is that Malkin is possibly a true racist, but wraps it in red, white, and blue.  She does have a razor sharp pen, as does Ann Coulter. ”Malkin’s success wasn’t unprecedented. She had been following doggedly in the footsteps of another female columnist who had become wealthy as a rightwing attack dog. Since the mid-1990s the radical right’s top poster girl had been the forty-something Ann Coulter, a onetime corporate lawyer with a cruel eye, firm grasp of wingnut psychology and enough vampish blonde hair to pass for telegenic among older, more conservative audiences. Coulter had cut her teeth on the Clintons and terrorized politicians with names like “pimp”, “gigolo” and “poodle”. Her columns were studies in hyperbole. “Eight More Thomases!”, “Attack France!” and “Affirmative Action for Osama” are typical titles. Her major appeal for the far right is revealed by the photos covering the dust jackets of her four best-selling books: big blonde hair, little black leather outfits, pancake makeup. Coulter’s restraint was diminishing in inverse proportion to her success. Recently, even publishers and networks positioned for right-wing audiences have been forced to ban her from time to time to keep from losing advertisers.” Fact is, they may be, in part, responsible for the new incivility that has taken over the far right. And, FYI, Malkin gets $10,000 a pop for her appearences as an ‘expert’ for various TV appearences.

And so we have her evolution as an extreme anti-immigration personality who really doesn’t care who she ’shacks up’ with as long as she is heard. “…Foremost among them are foreigners entering the U.S. The rights granted illegal immigrants became a Malkin pet peeve. In a bit of serendipitous timing, on the day before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack, her column (“The end of American citizenship”, Sep. 10, 2001) lashed out at the ease with which some illegal immigrants were allowed to become legal residents and citizens. It was criticizing the federal government’s amnesty program for illegal migrant workers from Mexico, but its dire tone seemed borne out the very next day by the 9/11 terrorist attacks…”  One is left with the disturbing possiblity that all of this is done for the money.  Or one is left with the even more disturbing possibility that the Malkins are true racists wrapped in patriotic clothing.  I would post excerpts from that article, but I find it extremely uncomfortable.  One also wonders if we arent’ dealing with a woman who isn’t ‘all there’.  Something is seriously wrong here.  This woman is not flying on all thrusters.

And then there is her husband Jesse Malkin. There are allagations that he is ‘ghost blogging’ for Michelle.  And there are also allegations of an explosive temper, and the possibility of an alleged assault of a student writing for a college newspaper.

Then there is Malkinwatch that keeps track of Michelle and Jesse.

So let’s get started on the anti-Hispanic twist to Malkin, who decries Robert Byrd for being a member of the KKK.

“Aztlan is a long-held notion among Mexico’s intellectual elite and political class, which asserts that the American southwest rightly belongs to Mexico. Advocates believe the reclamation (or reconquista) of Aztlan will occur through sheer demographic force. If the rallies across the country are any indication, reconquista is already complete.” Jewish World Review.  Alex Koppelman of Dragonfire, responds to her ‘breathless’ rantings, which have absolutely no reality behind them.  “Now, I understand that the fact that racists are the only ones to discuss reconquista and Aztlan in the same tones as Malkin doesn’t necessarily make her a racist. But as if speaking in the same coded language as the racists wasn’t enough, Malkin makes no bones about allying herself with organizations that expound profoundly racist ideologies.

Organizations like VDARE, listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Malkin’s columns are reprinted on VDARE’s website, and VDARE contributor Juan Mann is one of the principal contributors to the immigration blog on Malkin’s own site. Mann himself was propagating the reconquista myth in a column for VDARE Monday, writing that “An estimated 500,000 reconquistas took to the streets in Los Angeles over the past weekend to demand illegal alien amnesty.”

Again, no evidence was presented to prove that the 500,000 protesters were all reconquistas, or even that a majority were. (Malkin’s evidence was the quote of a single 16-year-old student who simply said, “This is unjust. This land used to belong to us and now they’re trying to kick us out.”)

But that’s hardly out of character for VDARE, which as of press time Wednesday featured on its front page along with Malkin’s column an article by J. Phillippe Rushton approvingly reviewing a new book purporting to show racial differences in IQ — a book that claims the average IQ of sub-Saharan Africans is 67, that is, below the commonly accepted standard for mental retardation.

So here’s the question: Given her use of racist code language, given her spreading of a myth propagated otherwise by white supremacists, given her public links with a hate group, why is Michelle Malkin given the mainstream forum I would not be were I to have been serious in quoting the Protocols of the Elders of Zion earlier?”

David Niewert does an excellent job of exposing Malkin on Orcius.  It is long, but well worth the read.  Niewert may be liberal, but he is worth reading. 

Now on to Malkin and her love for the minuteman,et.al bunch.  Bleeding Heart has some photos of the DC meeting.  Note the ‘costumes’ of a few of the minutemen supporters.  Like the Bleeding Heart mentions, Malkin has a love affair with the misc. minutemen.  To be honest so do 80% of the ultra RINO conservatives.  They see the minutemen as the purveryers of Truth, Justice, and the American Way!  Never mind their connections to the warm and cuddly little Nazis who are littering the whole anti-immigration landscape. 

Minutemen attacked.

Here she supportsJim Gilchrist, the subject of a Subway Canaries expose earlier this week.  She even believes his flip-flopping prevarications.   Much that needs to be said about the minutemen is said there.

And she pleads for the conservatives to stop the ACLU from stopping the minuteman, that precious bastion of truth.  She writes, “…But instead of coming to the defense of the Minutemen who are challenging our government, the ACLU has warned the 1,000 volunteers that it will send monitors to document the Americans’ activities. Moreover, the ACLU has already threatened lawsuits against the American dissenters for exercising their rights….”   Yep, changing alright, they’re aligning themselves with Nazis.  Don’t you understand?  We fought a war against these people and Michelle Malkin, the darling of the RINO right is snuggling up to them.  She Likes the way they are changing our government?  Note to Michelle, your vision of a Nazi America is not my vision! 

Or as I wrote the other day, “

Duane Roberts is very upfront and helpful with the work he is doing with Indy Media.  In a sidebar, this is what he said about the ‘Nazi’ connection to Gilchrist: “I’m of the opinion that Cliff May is telling the truthwhen he claims that several local neo-Nazis ended up
doing volunteer work for Minuteman founder Jim Gilchrist’s campaign for the 48th Congressional District. Shortly after Gilchrist announced his candidacy, a flurry of cryptic messages started popping up on the
Stormfront White Nationalist Community website suggesting that he was getting some kind of support from them.”  These are the people Malkin embraces.

Instead, she writed, “By recklessly linking the Minutemen to white separatists and casting them as outlaws, the civil liberties crowd engages in the very guilt-by-association smear tactics it has so loudly condemned. And in putting the protection of illegal aliens’ rights over law-abiding Americans’ civil liberties, the ACLU demonstrates on which side of the border its true allegiances lie.” Dear Lord Almighty, Now I MUST be on the side of the ACLU?  Rats!

The blog, Jewschool warns of the same thing.  They say the very same thing I’m saying – so I’m not the only one.  The problem is we can’t get the RINO conservatives to do the same.  “Right-wing blogger, columnist and Fox News analyst Michelle Malkin has recently been going to bat for the Minuteman Project, a self-described “citizens’ Neighborhood Watch on our border,” which has conferred itself with the authority to secure the US’s southern border from infiltration by illegal immigrants. Well-known to be overrun by White separatists, Klansmen and Neo-Nazis — as is thoroughly documented in photographs and testimony — one of the organization’s members, James Chase, founder of California Border Watch, broke ranks with The Minutemen earlier this year citing its domination by racist extremists.Malkin has consistently promoted and defended the Minutemen on her blog and in the press, in her most recent offense referring to Mexican American critics of the Minutemen, including Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and California Lt. Gov. Cruz M. Bustamante, as “Latino supremacists”. In a column published last Wednesday, Malkin accused the Chicano community of plotting to liberate “Mexican lands” in the Southwestern United States.”

Then our heroine alerted the media to the fact that the US Government was ratting out the minutemen to the Mexican government.  Oh, dear!  Now the tables are turned, and the Subway Canaries are ratting out Michelle Malkin’s extremely questionable associations. 

Malkin writes for Vdare, a racist publication sited for their connections to some very nasty people.  Instead of denouncing it, Malkin does an in your face today and continues to snuggle up with these people.

“[Original posting in the Juan Mann Archive on VDARE.com]

The focus of VDARE.com is on immigration and the National Question. It’s a noble endeavor, but I believe it represents only one component of a much greater problem.

The root of the evil: our apparent forced march toward a “comprehensive” New World Order of regional and ultimately global government, where nation-busting mass immigration is just one part of the process.

Though hardly a recent development, the excellent recent work by Jerome R. Corsi exposing the North American Union, the Amero currency, the NAFTA Superhighway—and its Texas highway segment which is already underway—leaves little doubt that the collectivist, internationalist agenda of America’s ruling elite continues full steam ahead whether the public likes it or not.

The late Dr. Sam Francis identified this danger.

Shortly after the Mohammedan jihadist attacks of September 11, 2001, Dr. Francis wrote that a “large bucket of cold reality has been splashed into my face” by a Chicago Council on Foreign Relations poll on elite vs. public attitudes concerning mass immigration. [10/24/02 - Poll Exposes Elite-Public Clash On Immigration]

Dr. Francis wrote:

“The [Summer 2002] poll shows that there is a vast gulf between the elite and the public at large on immigration, but more than anything it also shows that if the American majority that favors reducing mass immigration because they see it as a ‘critical threat’ to themselves and their nation really wants to meet that threat, then they must first remove from power the entire class of ‘leaders’ who are unable to perceive the dangers of immigration even when its dangerous consequences literally blow them out of their own skyscrapers.”

And so, let’s take this apart: 

The first URL comes from Vdare.  Check it out.  Time To Rethink Immigration (II): Freeing America From The Immigration Gulag.  Yes, you read the title correctly. It is by Peter Brimlow, one time editor of Forbes Magazine.  “NEW ORLEANS — They came from near and far, gathering inside the ritzy St. Louis Hotel for their 14th annual meeting. There was Srdja Trifkovic, who says he is a “Byzantine man,” not a Renaissance man, and who thinks that total economic collapse would be a good thing for white people. Former bank CEO David Hartman came to say that Social Security and Medicare should be halted so that whites will have more children to take care of them in their old age. Sam Francis was there, too, comparing non-white immigrants to “foreign colonizers, like space aliens.”   And the SPCL goes on to say more about Brimlow.

“They call themselves paleoconservatives — but a more accurate term, and one that is actually used by many of those who attended the New Orleans meeting of the Rockford Institute’s John Randolph Club, might be racial nationalists. The club used to include libertarians and others with a variety of political views but, as chronicled in an important article by James Lubinskas, that has changed. The club has shrunk, become more politically isolated, and focused in on issues related to race. Peter Brimelow exemplifies that change. In 1995, he published the bestselling Alien Nation, a book that argued that America is historically white-dominated and should stay that way — but that was also written in a genial style and was careful to treat black Americans as part of the polity. By 1997, he was warning that by 2008 the GOP would no longer be able to compete in presidential elections because the racial makeup of the electorate would be changed by non-white immigration. Today, the former senior editor at Forbes magazine edits an anti-immigration Web page that carries an array of frankly white supremacist and anti-Semitic essays. “

And the article about this Malkin associate goes on to say,”One essay complains about how the government encourages “the garbage of Africa” to come to the United States. The same writer says once the “Mexican invasion” engulfs the country, “high teenage birthrates, poverty, ignorance and disease will be what remains.” Another says that Hispanics have a “significantly higher level of social pathology than American whites. … In other words, some immigrants are better than others.” Yet another complains that a Jewish immigrant rights group is helping “African Muslim refugees” come to America. Brimelow’s site carries archives of columns from men like Sam Francis, who is the editor of the newspaper of the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens, a group whose Web page recently described blacks as “a retrograde species of humanity.”

Sam Francis was a highly respected conservative newsman until he went too far one day and lost his job at the Washington Times for doing one racist column too many.  He is revered by people like the National Vanguard, etc.   This is his SPLC obit.

“Francis, a prize-winning syndicated columnist and former deputy editorial page editor of the arch-conservative Washington Times, was in recent years and until his death the chief editor for the Council of Conservative Citizens, a leading white supremacist hate group. Francis evolved from a conservative to a right-wing radical over the years, writing increasingly for racist publications like the ccc’s tabloid, Citizens Informer,and, more recently, The Occidental Quarterly. He described himself as a “paleoconservative,” focused heavily on racial issues, and helped to turn the Citizens Informer in recent years into a major anti-immigration publication. Francis’ definitive break with more mainstream conservatism came with his 1995 firing from The Washington Times after conservative author Dinesh D’Souza quoted a Francis speech to a conference of the neo-eugenicist American Renaissance magazine. D’Souza described Francis’ opinions as embodying the “new spirit of white bigotry.” After his firing, Francis increasingly focused on the dangers to American society supposedly posed by non-white immigration. He also criticized the Republican Party as essentially indistinguishable from the Democrats. Francis joined the staff of the Citizens Informer in 1999 as co-editor with Chris Temple, an adherent of the anti-Semitic Christian Identity theology and crooked “financial advisor.” Unlike Francis, Temple did not stay in his post long and, last year, pleaded guilty to mail fraud and money laundering charges. The news of Francis’ death inspired a flurry of eulogies by prominent racists. “What a terrible waste that this immense fund of learning and insight should suddenly be struck down!” wrote Jared Taylor, editor of American Renaissance, which has described blacks as “deviant” and “psychopathological.”

And this is the Juan Mann article that reeks of paranoia.  (I just can’t believe Malkin thinks she can get away with associating with these people and keep getting away with it.).  Mann constantly criticizes the Bush Administration.

And one last notation about Malkin from Alex Koppelman’s Dragonfire.  “…Named for Virginia Dare, the first white person born in the New World, the site has been named by the anti-racist Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group. And for good reason: as I noted in a previous column, the site is dedicated to pushing the kind of pseudo-science the Nazis could have only dreamed of using to support their racial fantasies. Forget phrenology: VDARE spends its time flogging books that purport to prove that the average IQ of sub-Saharan Africans is 67 — below the accepted standard criteria for a diagnosis of mental retardation. (The Anti-Defamation Leaguenotes that the author of the linked review, J. Philippe Rushton, has been less than subtle about his racism. “During [a] 1996 conference… Rushton lectured at length about the sexual differences among various races, arguing that blacks, while possessing smaller brains, reproduce at a faster rate due to the larger size of their sex organs. ‘Not to reinforce stereotypes,’ he has said elsewhere, ‘but it’s a trade-off: more brain or more penis, you can’t have everything.’ … He has also stated that Nazi Germany’s military prowess was due in part to the purity of their gene pool.”)

Malkin’s ties to the site are legion: it regularly prints her column, while she employs one of its writers, Juan Mann, as the principal writer of her “Immigration Blog” and lists the site on her blogroll. And it’s not as if Malkin isn’t well aware of the criticism, both of the site and her ties to it — in a post on her blog in September 2004, she noted that “my friend Peter Brimelow [the founder of VDARE] observesthat some people apparently think linking to VDARE is tantamount to a hate crime.”

But Malkin isn’t the only prominent person to be writing for VDARE. There’s also Jared Taylor, a self-proclaimed “white nationalist” who edits the American Renaissance journal and is president of the journal’s parent, the New Century Foundation, an organization notable among other reasons for its 1999 report, “The Color of Crime,” which in its conclusion stated, “Everyone knows that blacks are dangerous.” That report was only one of Taylor’s attempts to provide pseudo-scientific justifications for his racism.

“The New Century Foundation — known primarily by the name of its publication, American Renaissance ­­­— promotes ‘genteel’ racism,” the Anti-Defamation League has noted: “pseudoscientific, questionably researched and argued articles that validate the genetic and moral inferiority of nonwhites and the need for racial ‘purity.’”In an article on VDARE, preceded by a preface from site founder and friend of Malkin Brimelow, in which Brimelow called Taylor “perhaps the most brilliant and accomplished figure among White Nationalists,” Taylor defended his beliefs by in separate instances calling both African Americans and non-white immigrants inferior to whites, writing:

“The reason blacks and whites do not enjoy similar outcomes despite similar treatment by society is that the black and white populations are not equivalent. … Our government has permitted a huge influx of non-white immigrants who threaten to reduce whites to a minority by the middle of this century. In their bones, whites know this will not be a good thing. They know that an increasingly Third-World America will slip into Third-World habits of corruption, poverty, and violence.”

VDARE also publishes writers like the lateSam Francis, a former columnist for the Washington Times, fired for saying at the American Renaissance’s 1994 annual meeting that: “The civilization that we as whites created in Europe and America could not have developed apart from the genetic endowments of the creating people, nor is there reason to believe that the civilization can be successfully transmitted to a different people. According to Brimelow, Francis “played a quiet but effective role in putting together the principals of VDARE.COM.” When Francis died in 2005, former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke eulogized him on his website, saying: “I have known Sam Francis for almost two decades. When many political pundits were afraid of associating with the ‘former KKK’er turned elected official’ Sam wasn’t. … I remember well the dinner we had that night in the Orleans restaurant in Arlington when we shared each other’s views of the world and each found a true brother in the Cause. Many times Sam Francis defended me in his newspaper columns and dared to stand up against the anti-White racists and the Jewish supremacists.

This is more a best of Subway Canaries.  I’ve been working my way around some of this stuff for months now.  Let’s just face the nasty facts and deal with it.

It all started with the Pioneer Fund.

And, doesn’t this Pioneer Fund bio of  Harry Hamilton Laughlin sound wonderful? “…life-long scientist. Laughlin served as long-time director of the Eugenics Record Office at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island, New York, funded by the Carnegie Institute of Washington. Among his duties was the editing of the Eugenical News, which reported on scientific research and eugenic issues from around the world.  Born in Oskaloosa, Iowa, in 1880, the son of a minister and academic, Laughlin grew up in Kirksville, Missouri. He first taught school for ten years before developing an interest in agriculture and plant and animal breeding. In 1910 Laughlin moved to Cold Spring Harbor. In 1917 he received a Doctorate of Science from Princeton for his work in genetics. During the 1920s and 1930s Laughlin served as an advisor to several Congressional Committees. He retired in 1941 and died in 1943.”

Well, they leave out a few things….” ….In the spirit of Dr. Josef Goebbels, he (Draper) and his close associate at The Pioneer Fund, Dr. Harry H. Laughlin, actually created and then championed the “involuntary sterilization movement in America” the so-called “Buck vs. Bell” Supreme Court case which was favorably reviewed by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. It led directly to the involuntary sterilization of over 75,000 human beings between 1924 and 1972 in the approximately 24 states which passed similar laws at the behest and encouragement of The Pioneer Fund. Sound familiar? But the first major achievement of his work and that of Herr Laughlin, was when Hitler and Goebbels invited Laughlin to receive an honorary degree for his work in passing “The Model Eugenics Laws in America”. Hitler used the Draper-inspired American Eugenics Model to pass the law which will go down in infamy as the Nuremberg Laws: “On the Prevention of Hereditarily Ill Progeny” – the so-called Holocaust Laws.”

From the SPLC’s expose on the Pioneer Fund:  “…With an original charter to pursue “race betterment” for those “deemed to be descended predominantly from white persons who settled in the original thirteen states prior to the adoption of the Constitution,” the Pioneer Fund was founded in 1937 in New York.

Many involved in the early years of the fund, including its first president Harry H. Laughlin, maintained “contacts with many of the Nazi scientists whose work provided the conceptual template for Hitler’s aspiration toward ‘racial hygiene’ in Germany,” according to an Albany Law Review article by Paul Lombardo. In The Funding of Scientific Racism, scholar William Tucker reveals how Pioneer board members and grantees sought to block the civil rights movement in the 1960s.

In recent decades, the Pioneer Fund has funded most American and British race scientists, including a large number cited in The Bell Curve. According to Barry Mehler, the leading academic critic of the fund, these race scientists have included Hans Eysenck, Robert A. Gordon, Linda Gottfredson, Seymour Itzkoff, Arthur Jensen, Michael Levin, Richard Lynn, R. Travis Osborne, Roger Pearson, J. Philippe Rushton, William Shockley and Daniel R. Vining Jr.

Last year, Rushton became the fourth president of the fund. He disavows the terms “inferior” and “superior” but, as psychologist Andrew S. Winston points out, Rushton has produced a chart in which blacks “are said to have, on average, smaller brains, lower intelligence, lower cultural achievements, higher aggressiveness, lower law-abidingness, lower marital stability and less sexual restraint than whites, and the differences are attributed partially to heredity.”

Pioneer grantees have also included white supremacist Jared Taylor. According to Hold Your Tongue, a book by education expert James Crawford, the Pioneer Fund also “aided the Institute for Western Values — the same group Cordelia May [Scaife, sister of Richard Mellon Scaife] paid to distribute [the racist book] The Camp of the Saints — in publishing the autobiography of Thomas Dixon,” whose racist novels helped spark the Klan’s rebirth in 1915.

Pioneer also has given grants to the American Immigration Control Foundation*, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, Roger Pearson’s Institute for the Study of Man, Jared Taylor’s New Century Foundation* and Project USA, an anti-immigration group run by a FAIR board member.”

Several years ago, the SPLC pegged the Pioneer Fund as a leading supporter and ‘parent’ of the anti-immigration movement.  Be aware it isn’t just anti-illegal – but anti-immigration. This is March, 2003.

“A few sectors of the radical right seemed to thrive. In particular, the world of academic racists — those who promote racial theories of intelligence and a return to the discredited “science” of eugenics, or “race betterment” — is doing well.

Doesn’t matter where you go, you’ll find John Tanton.

There is more, much more.  Tanton is associated with the Pioneer Fund.  This NYTimes 1977 expose on the founders of the Pioneer Fund should say it all and many any decent person change their opinion of the US HOUSE version of anti-immigration.  It should also damn Tom Tancredo and a few more of his ilk.

“Draper’s fascist-inspired vitriolic hatred of Communism and anything liberal led to his support of McCarthyism and the activities of HUAC, the House Un-American Activities Committee for over a decade. In the spirit of Dr. Josef Goebbels, he and his close associate at The Pioneer Fund, Dr. Harry H. Laughlin, actually created and then championed the “involuntary sterilization movement in America” the so-called “Buck vs. Bell” Supreme Court case which was favorably reviewed by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. It led directly to the involuntary sterilization of over 75,000 human beings between 1924 and 1972 in the approximately 24 states which passed similar laws at the behest and encouragement of The Pioneer Fund. Sound familiar? But the first major achievement of his work and that of Herr Laughlin, was when Hitler and Goebbels invited Laughlin to receive an honorary degree for his work in passing “The Model Eugenics Laws in America”. Hitler used the Draper-inspired American Eugenics Model to pass the law which will go down in infamy as the Nuremberg Laws: “On the Prevention of Hereditarily Ill Progeny” – the so-called Holocaust Laws…. The last time that Immigration laws were severely tightened was the 1924 Immigration Act which was accomplished, in my opinion, in direct anticipa- tion of the coming unrest in Europe during the 1930’s and 1940’s. These laws kept may legitimate refugees, all targeted for elimination by the Third Reich, from ever reaching a safe haven in the United States. The precisely identical intentions are at work today with this renewed emphasis on “Proposition 187″, which is intended to become “The Model Anti-Immigration Legislation in America” and for the rest of the world. ….the intention of the sponsors of “Proposition 187″ is to prevent those refugees targeted for “ethnic extinction” from ever reaching a safe haven in American or anywhere else in the free world for that matter. This is a very real and serious concern and every American who recognizes the true intentions of Proposition 187 should oppose it with their last breath and their last ounce of strength before it is too late.”

And a little more on Prop 187 and the laws Tanton helped pass, “Almost 30 states and many more local communities passed “English Only” statutes enshrining English as the language of official business. In 1994, after extensive campaigning by Tanton-supported groups, millions of Californians joined in passing Proposition 187, which denied social services to undocumented workers.Two years later, Tanton celebrated the passage of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, a law meant to cut illegal immigration that was heavily backed by anti-immigration groups. It required that asylum seekers be held in detention until they established a credible fear of persecution at home, a process that could take years.”

Martin Mallard is exposed in this piece by Humberto Caspa for the Orange County Organizer.  He also writes for the Neo Nazi newspaper for the American Nationalist Union.  They have links to the American Journal, which actually has an excellent links page.  It has everything but the kitchen sink.

“Most people have adjusted well to the new demographic changes in Costa Mesa, but not everybody is happy.  A radical anti-immigrant group led by Martin H. Millard, a featured writer on a white supremacist website known as New Nation News (3), has used the anti-immigrant rhetoric to influence elected officials. In his writings, Millard has compared Latinos with cockroaches, (4) and has also laid out a plan to gain access to institutions of power. And from there make radical changes (5).Millard is the tip of the iceberg of the immigration crisis in Costa Mesa. Despite proven evidence of his rage against minority groups, a majority in the City Council allowed Millard a seat in the Redevelopment and Residential Rehabilitation committee (6). This committee makes recommendations to government officials on the distribution of funds to charities in town.  Millard also served the West Revitalization Oversight Committee.“

The New Nation News claims to be a paper for ‘whites’.  Check out their anti-Hispanic material.

And thank you New Nation News.  I’ve been trying to link Daneen G. Peterson with this whole unsavory bunch.  New Nation News had a link to one of her many anti-Catholic rants.  And there is a link to Repressing White Americans – or why the government is promoting Hispanic immigration.  Several weeks ago I finally found a link between Peterson and our favorite unsavory friends.  You will want to scroll down to the end of my post to find the link to the American Nationalist Party.  And the ADL report.

I’ve been telling you the ‘conservatives’ are having problems.  The New Nation is part of the Ring of Conservative sites.  There is also a link to the Constitution Party.  Don’t you get it?  There is a second page of links, that get down to the Nazi nitty-gritty.

And, you may as well be exposed to “Christian Identity” which has nothing to do with the teachings of Christ.  And you may as well expose yourself to their links.  They are distasteful, but ignorance is not bliss.  It is simply ignorance.

Stormfront is deeply invested in the CofCC.  And the CofCC links to the American Nationalist Union.  There, you see a call to slam Chris Cannon with email, etc.  Yep, the Nazis don’t like Chris Cannon.  Well, that does it for me.  I’d vote for him.  They also link to TT!  But then, why not?  He’s their darling.

If you want my opinion, I would put the Memphis based, Political Cesspool” in this bunch.  Oh, they also linke to Impeach Bush.  Roaches can’t stand GWB. The Political Cesspool has a links page that is like a who’s who of unsavory characters and organizations, with a few decent ones threw in for good measure. 

Okay, the Aryan Nation World Headquarters – they claim to be Christian.

The American National Conference links directly to the CofCC among others. On their Save the White Race page they sing the praises of Patrick J. Buchanan.

VERY IMPORTANT:  The Yuma Patriots are one of the few anti-illegal organizations who appear to be ‘clean’ of nasty little connections.

Chuck Currie’s blog exposes the Nazi links to Gilchrist and to the Minuetmen.

The SPLC has also exposed the Nazi links. 

 ”Neo-Nazis volunteered for Jim Gilchrist’s recent congressional campaign and distributed racist propaganda at Gilchrist rallies with the full knowledge of the Minuteman Project co-founder and his campaign managers, according to a former Gilchrist campaign volunteer whose account is supported by photographs, video footage and postings on the white supremacist Web site Stormfront.

“They were basically allowing Skinheads and white nationalists to work the phone banks and do IT [computer work] and distribute National Alliance fliers targeting non-whites,” Cliff May, a dance instructor in Orange County, Calif., told the Intelligence Report. “When I told Mary [Gilchrist's finance manager] and Eldon [Gilchrist's grassroots coordinator] that I didn’t want to work for a campaign that was tainted by white supremacy in any way, they told me not to cause a stir.

“When I kept bringing it up, they kicked me out.”

Photographs taken at an Oct. 29 Gilchrist rally in Sacramento show a man outfitted like a Nazi Skinhead distributing propaganda from the neo-Nazi National Alliance. “I talked with Gilchrist about it and he said they’d decided to, in his words, ‘let it go,’” May said. Three weeks later, May says he spotted two neo-Nazis among a crowd of Gilchrist campaign volunteers at a City Council meeting in Lake Forest, Calif. May recognized the young man and woman from photographs of neo-Nazis giving seig-heil salutes in front of swastika banners at an anti-immigration protest in Laguna Beach four months earlier, in July. May said he videotaped the neo-Nazis at the November meeting in Lake Forest and immediately afterward played the footage on a big screen television at Gilchrist’s campaign headquarters.”

“Elsewhere, at least a few neo-Nazis continued to openly support Minuteman events like “Stop the Invasion,” when 44 rallies were held in 20 states on Jan. 7. The local organizer for the Stop the Invasion rally in Austin, Texas, was identified on a nationally distributed contact sheet as “SSTexas88″ (88 is neo-Nazi shorthand for “HH,” or “Heil Hitler”), the same Web handle used by a self-described “24-year-old white power skinbyrd [a female Skinhead] from Austin, Texas” on various neo-Nazi Web sites. A woman who identified herself only as “Jenny” led the sparsely attended rally in front of the Texas Capitol wearing a shirt bearing the emblem of Hammerskin Nation, a violent neo-Nazi Skinhead syndicate.” 

And in Feb, in DC, at a rally where both Gilchrist and TT were featured speakers, the Washington Post reports, “The fervor subsided only when two men dressed in brown and wearing swastikas goose-stepped toward the Minutemen and gave a Nazi salute. The men, straight out of “The Producers,” handed out fliers encouraging the Minutemen to “end your alliance with the Republicans!!!” — and join the American Nazi Party. Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist called for an intermission “to resolve this situation.”

And Stormfront is working to infiltrate the GOP.  “We can change the course of the republican party. You don’t need to say “We need to help white people.” Today you don’t even hear “We need to help black people” from any politician today. It’s “we need to help Americans.” Duke would have been better off starting a Political Action Committee for whites or abetting the Council for Conservative Citizens. There’s a group with potential, they have had top name republican leaders make speeches. All you need to do is ask one question of them, “What will you do to help White Americans, your base of support?”

You will also want to check out Fire Dog Lake and their Gilchrist/Nazi/Minuteman expose. “But Gilchrist has larger ambitions.  He just ran and lost an independent bid for Congress in the 48th district in California to replace Representative Chris Cox.  And though he didn’t run on the Republican Party line, he did offer to caucus with the GOP, Tom Tancredo endorsed him, and his supporters certainly were Republican stalwarts.  I followed the race through the Powder Blue blog, which covers immigration and Orange County Republican politics.  Though bucking the party this once, the blogger at Powder Blue is a staunch Republican activist who started blogging because his neighbor Hugh Hewitt gave him enouragement.  In other words, Gilchrist is well within the mainstream of the Republican Party and the right-wing blogosphere.  100 tribes with 100 languages, and neighbors killing one another.  Mainstream alright.”

And over at Orcinus there is a masterful expose of the whole minuteman thingie.

James Chase over at the Border Watch or what ever it is, exposed the Nazi ties to the Minutemen over a year ago.   In my mind there’s not much difference between the Nazi bunch and the new KKK.  Is there a link between the KKK and Tancredo?  Check out this Pink Flamingo post done just last week.

I surfed to this via Tancredo Watch.  It is incredibly disturbing.  If it is true – it confirms everything I’ve been saying – and thinking.  It comes from the Klan Politician Watch. – where the following comment is made…”…Society members (pass-code protected). It was given to me by a former high ranking Klansman who has denounced his membership in America’s first terrorist organization….” Fascinatingly, the blog only has this one post.  The ownership of the blog is designated as a ‘deputy sheriff’ and male.  The posting is so strange, deal with it yourself.  I don’t like what I see and it points to information I have been uncovering.  I cannot prove any of it – and don’t want to accuse anyone of anything, especially Haley Burbur, who has renounced all association with the CofCC.

“…The secret website information also reveals other elite KKK and John Birch Society members in the US government.
These are politicians we support around the nation that we know will save us from the jew, black and brown plague infestation and their lawlessness; Senator George Allen VA, Senator Pete Sessions AL, State Senator Dina Titus NV, Congressman Tom Tancredo CO, Governor Hally Barbour MS, Congresswoman Kathrine Harris FL, James Inhofe OK….”

And this comes from Tancredo Watch.

“…(They apparently know what they’re talking about, judging from George Allen’s recent “Macaca”/”Welcome to America” slur.)Vanguard News Network (“No Jews. Just Right”) includes commentary about how Tancredo should be president.
American Renaissance mentioned that Tancredo won a straw poll somewhere, drawing lots of comments from people excited about someone who would finally save the white race.

“I’m surprised that anyone but Tancredo is getting any votes from white nationalists,” declares a contributor to Stormfront (“White Pride Worldwide”).

The American Thule Society gives Tancredo positive press…”
