If you want to take the time, can someone please tell me where this guy is coming from? A lot of it looks like good Left progressive stuff, but then there seems to be this kind of Far Right Ron Paul populism too. I don't get it. What is it? Some kind of marriage between Far Right and Far Left? I'm seeing more and more of this crap nowadays on progressive and Left sites and I must say, I don't really like it.
While we are at it, where the Hell is Jeff Rense coming from anyway? Same place as this guy? He can write about Bigfoot and UFO's all he wants, and there are usually lots of good articles on the site, but his politics seriously creeps me out. For one thing, he's leaking anti-Semitism out of his pores.
My Mom has been telling my whole life, "Well, you know. It's like a circle. When you go so far to the Left and so far to the Right, you don't have two polar opposite ends of a huge ruler. The ruler starts bending and becomes circular. It's a circle. Far Right and Far Left meet, and you just have a nut, a fanatic." I always figured that was just Left-trashing, but now I'm starting to wonder.
There were some people marching against the war in Oakhurst the other day and my brother went to talk to them. Some of them handed some really weird brochures full of all this conspiratorial shit. I went to the site and it was the same thing. Anti-CIA, anti-militarism, anti-Bush, anti-Iraq War, ok, that's good.
Then it starts taking off into all this weird conspiracy theory about the Federal Reserve, the Rothschilds, the New World Order, Ron Paul, black helicopters, chemtrails, bla bla bla. Kind of like this guy.
Hard economic times really brings this stuff out bigtime.
Is this what the new radical US populism is going to look like? Some Far Right - Far Left mix? I don't mind the Far Left part, but whenever anyone starts talking about "marrying Left and Right", I get the creeps. I hate to say it, but that tends to end up in some weird kind of fascism of one species or other. One of the favorite fascist lines was about "getting rid of Left and Right".
Yuck.
Color me perturbed.

The Institute on Religion and Public Policy
The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.
Updated August 23:
Joseph Griebowski is one odd fellow. He's head of a very strange organization called Institute on Religion and Public Policy. It will be discussed in an upcoming post. Griebowski himself is some sort of a hardline Zionist. He's also a weird, Strangeglovian-looking character. It's apparently got some kind of big neoconservative and possibly Jewish money behind it.
He goes up on Capital Hill and travels all over the world agitating for "religious freedom", generally in lands that are being targeted by the neocons and International Zionism. He's also apparently waging US imperialism's war of words with China. His specialty is humanitarian intervention bullshit as my commenters have been discussing lately. His particular angle is "religious freedom".
If your country is not allowing enough religious freedom (which, frankly, is none of our Goddamned business) then he's going to wage fake human rights war on you in service of International Zionism or US imperialism. Lately his targets have been South Sudan, Darfur, China and Kosovo. Imperialism doesn't care about S Sudan or Darfur, but Zionism does. Imperialism hates China though.
For Kosovo, imperialism supports them, but probably hard right Zionism hates them for being Muslims in Europe. Looks like they have conned all sorts of suckers into going along with this scam. Looking through the officers and staff, I can't see any reason why most of these people give a flying fuck about "religious freedom".
Furthermore, they for the most part seem to be serving US imperialism in one way or another. So I figure this is just some bullshit "religious freedom" garbage to push the interests of US imperialism and Zionism. On their Board of Directors is a motley collection of Christians (almost all rightwing Catholics, fundamentalist Protestants or Baptists), Jews of various types, wacky New Age kooks, etc.

Update on National Bolshevism
There is something downright nasty about these guys, and I can't even put my finger on it. National Bolshevism is some type of Third Positionism.
Third Positionism is one strange beast all right, and I can't figure out what to make of it. Their Celtic cross symbol gives me the creeps; it reminds me of the Zodiac killer, and it looks fascistic.
It's supposedly some species of fascism that combines unspecified elements of the Left and Right, in particular, Leftist and socialist economics. As they have never held power anywhere, no one really knows how this plays out IRL.
I'm not necessarily going to oppose anyone that gets lumped into some Third Positionist "fascist" grab bag by political scientists, but so far, I don't like what I see.
The National Bolshevik Party is Russia is one strange beast. They support the Russian minorities in all of the former SSR's, which is theoretically a valid cause, but in many cases probably reeks of national chauvinism. But there's a lot of national chauvinist crap going on in those new states anyway, this time victimizing Russians.
They supported, and apparently still support, the War on the Chechen People in Chechnya and now generalized across much of the Caucasus to Dagestan, Ingushetia, Southern Russia, North Ossetia-Alania (When did they change their name?! Ok, 1994. The history of the Alans, especially as relates to the peopling of Japan and NE Asia, is an interesting one, if you like strange theories), Karachay-Cherkessia and Kabardino-Balkaria.
Originally, their project was the usual fascist imperialist expansionist crap, envisioning a vast state encompassing all of the former USSR (which would have to be reconquered in some way) and all of Europe (I guess this would have to conquered too), to be ruled by Russians. That's actually kind of humorous. Well, since then, they have dropped that.
They are also anti-Semites, accusing ultranationalist Zhirinovsky of being a Jew, as if that is a bad thing (he has a bit of Jewish heritage, but I don't enough to go to Israel). They hate Putin and accuse him of being a fascist.
That's strange, but if you study fascists for a while, you realize that one of their fascist games is that fascists are always going around calling others fascists as a term of abuse. It doesn't make sense until you are around them a long time.
Lenin hated the precursors of the National Bolsheviks and said they were a class enemy, but he's not a God to me.
At the end of the day, I'm sorry, but I just can't get behind these guys. Ultranationalism pretty much sucks just about everywhere, without many exceptions.
National Bolshevik principles.
Update: R.M. Schultz of the Soviet Overseas Trading Company News blog, author of the principles above, stopped by the comments section and made some interesting points.

What's Up With National Bolshevism?

National Bolshevism?
I sort of don't like the looks of it automatically, but what is it really all about? Anyone? Is it racist? I'm looking at it and getting worried. A Commie friend of mine from Germany said they were ok, but I am not sure yet. Not sure if I like the flag either. Their supporters are on fascist fora looking for looking for more support.
I can't really figure this out. I'm not sure if it's ok or not. Anyone wants to look into it, be my guest.
