THOUGHTS ON THE RECENT ELECTION

-Georg Hesser
.
For far too many election cycles, we have been trading between the “lesser of two evils”- candidates who are little more than corporate whores from two parties joined at the globalist hip, all with little or no interest in serving the needs of the average American. Sure, they make plenty of promises but would ever deliver little- just enough crumbs to keep the lemmings subdued and thinking that someone was working for them in D.C…. meanwhile, the policies that were being pushed through over so many years did little good for the populace, but instead served the needs of the corporate button-pushers and the globalist agenda. Many of us would feel the pinch of such practices, but few would ever see the truth. This changed over the last administration, and in this latter portion of it in particular. 
.
For years, the globalist establishment was quite calculating and careful in the execution of its machinations. It was a slow “trickle effect” that maintained the process. This kept designs under the radar and the wolves of revolution at bay. But in most recent times, the establishment erupted with an aggressiveness that brought its agenda out of the shadows of conspiracy theories and into the blazing light of awareness. Suddenly, the warnings of what folk thought was the “lunatic right-wing fringe” were beginning to make sense….suddenly, the people began to awaken from their spell-bound slumber and began to see the ugly truth in all of its stark clarity. Americans finally woke up, were finally fed up, and would finally….finally….take some manner of action. 
.
On 8 November, the people elected to end the Bush and Clinton globalist dynasties. They elected a president who didn’t come from the establishment, who isn’t bound to special interests, and one who spoke to them on their terms. He had seemingly no chance in winning. He exposed the deepest roots of corruption of and collusion between the two main political parties, and had to fight not only his opposition and the media complex, but the very members of the party to which he had aligned his candidacy. But yet, he did win. 
.
Donald Trump’s victory isn’t the coming of Balder after the Ragnarok, nor is it the second coming of Christ. Electing him did put the breaks on the globalist transformation that was unfolding before our very eyes- TPP will not happen, and it is likely that other disastrous trade deals will be renegotiated. We have secured the appointment of (hopefully) less marxist supreme court justices over the next few years, and the flood of humanity that is currently overwhelming our border will be stayed. 
.
However, we would be foolhardy to think Trump will achieve all of the promises he has made- even if Trump were genuine in his determination, he will get nothing accomplished in D.C. if he doesn’t “play the game” on some level. Already, members of his own party are affirming that they will not support much of his populist agenda. And certainly, the globalists (who have untold fortunes invested in their interests) aren’t going to simply give up. We need to be more vigilant than ever, and we need to hold those elected accountable for their promises. Now is not the time to sit back and relish in the glory of a populist victory. We must pick up our momentum, remain involved, and hold their feet to the fire. This is just the beginning.

 WHITE GUILT 
-Georg Hesser

White Guilt is a cancer that has been slowly metastasizing within our People for a number of decades now, one that has been building slowly: cell by cell, cluster by cluster. Over the decades, we have been given to surrendering our sense of pride as a collective folk, to surrender the very station and status for which our Fathers and their Fathers toiled, fought, and died. They labored to establish and continue the culture into which we were born. They worked tirelessly to defend and further the principles upon which our very civilization is founded and from which our people draw its very strength. 

The encroachment of cultural marxism threatens to lay waste all that we have come to be, and to destroy all that we hold as the very foundations of our culture and the rich tapestry of folkways / traditions that stem from it. At times this cancer has come upon us as subtle and slow as an occasional drip; at other times, it has been a surging flood. Regardless, it has been unquestioningly constant, incessant, and sure in the destruction it brings. 
The situation in which we find ourselves is bleak. The globalist establishment is working fervently to dismantle the societies from which our people have sprung, those national and local communities that our folk have built and support. Sure, the same establishment still expects us to slave away in financially backing our society/societies, but it expects us to do so as slaves to it- not as proud men and women, the very stewards of our community / communities and nation(s). The establishment’s poison infects our children through the education system, where misinformation and false ‘truths’ shape the understandings and thought processes of the most mentally vulnerable. The roots of guilt are set into this fertile soil at an early age, ensuring a stripping away of any sense of pride-in-place in the world for all that our People have done to advance it….and, our adults aren’t immune- we are constantly shamed and increasingly threatened into submission through a perverted social acceptability that has up-ended the norms of any healthy society. All expressions of pride are equated with the “evils of racism” -in today’s social environment, all accusations of racism threaten one’s very station, his or her job, and any semblance of normalcy in life. 
We must be diligent in our resistance to “white guilt”, and must make every possible effort to push back, with particular attention to our children’s education. Here, we must tirelessly monitor their schooling in both private and public settings. Remain aware of the curriculum being presented and be prepared to offer an informed counter-presentation to inaccurate accounts and mistruths. Take time to fill in intentional gaps and to dispel the often less obvious hints and implications that would erode the honor and pride our children would otherwise come to develop for the accomplishments of their People, both past and present. Among adults, we need to educate our friends and family- not all circumstances will be appropriate for or call us to get on a soap box, but we can use tools such as social media to post the anniversaries of our folk’s accomplishments, births / deaths of important figures, and bits of interesting cultural info….anything that raises or preserves the awareness of our People’s achievements. 
We can and must stamp out white guilt. We cannot surrender the memory of the “place” which our civilization has made in the grand scheme of world history. We cannot surrender our pride, dignity, and remembrance owed to the efforts, sacrifices, and achievements of all of those who have carved out and shaped the greatest nations on earth- havens of freedom, art, science, and culture. In guilt we surrender everything that becomes the foundation for our own self-preservation and ultimate greatness as individuals and as a People. We must be the vanguard in the push-back against white guilt. We must hold aloft the banner around which our folk will rally, and we must lead them forward toward honor and pride.

Make sure you click on the link above. Two great brothers of ours with a great radio show!

Jason Augustus joins Matthew Heimbach for the Monday edition of The Daily Traditionalist to talk about his impressions of Leif Erikson day which takes place in Pennsylvania every year. Keystone United were there along with Steve Smith who has been on the show before, after he won a local election through campaigning in his local community despite a large amount of negative media coverage.

The gathering was a celebration of the White Viking hero who sailed to America and was a big contrast from anything Jason was used to, as in New York people would assume it was going to be malicious, since it was exclusively White. It reminded him that Nationalism has moved away from being reactionary in the last decade towards a more family focused environment that is more about community building. It was still very individualistic back then, but as the activists starting having kids, they started to think more about what sort of world we are creating for our children.

Young people today are really disconnected from their heritage, they are told they should feel guilty for it and are not used to celebrating it. This is unnatural as we should be living within our own tribe, with people we know we can trust and count on to turn to when we need help. We are used to hearing the Left talk about community organisers, but we don’t often hear much about it on the right and we certainly don’t have any official ones like the Blacks have.

We need to take our struggle seriously as we are the only ones speaking up for our people, nobody else is doing it. We are actively under attack in the White working class areas and people like Bernie Sanders who claims to represent the working class constantly accuse us of being privileged. To see what is coming for the White man in America you only have to look at the White squatter camps in South Africa. There is no point where the other races will say enough is enough and speak up for us, they will just keep going until they have driven us from our territory entirely, as they have done in Rhodesia. They even say the only way to get rid of racism is to get rid of Whites.

Jason grew up in a deprived area and under the class theory of the Left, he should have been helped by the Dominicans around him, but they despised him because he was White and solidarity with his class status never even came into it. They had been brought up on the anti-White hatred on the tv and in school and any Whites who have to live in the poorer areas alongside the diversity have to put up with the same.

Every other ethnic community is organised and know that they are a people, it is only Whites who fail to understand this and capitalize on it.

The day was cold, cloudy and wet but spirits were high as members and supporters of Keystone United gathered this past weekend for the 10th annual Leif Erikson Day Celebration!

The day started at a beautiful park in Philadelphia,Pa as people from far and near gathered in celebration of our history, heritage and the journey of Leif Erikson. The entire afternoon was filled with great traditional food and comradery.

As the sun broke through the clouds, we gathered around to listen to the first speech by Frank Marlowe, followed by a speech from Matt Heimbach – both of the Traditionalist Workers Party. Following the speech was a small acoustic performance by Activist.

As the event came to an end, all attendees gathered at Boathouse Row and we began our march with flags and banners to the statue of Thorfinn Karlsefni, a great Icelandic explorer, on Kelly Drive. Matt Heimbach concluded the event with a small speech.

-Ryan Wojtowicz

Trump2016I recently attended the New York Forum, which is organized by one of the founders of the North American New Right; editor and chief of Counter-Currents publishing, Greg Johnson. 

The New York Forum is modeled after the London Forum, which is
 “A non-party aligned conference group for nationalists, identitarians, thinkers and commentators from across the Right”, as described on their website.
 

You can read more about the London Forum here:
https://identityforum.org.uk/
And more about the New York Forum Here:
http://www.counter-currents.com/2016/05/the-inaugural-meeting-of-the-new-york-forum/

As I left the Forum on Saturday, I walked away feeling invigorated, hopeful, and for the very first time in my short life as a White Nationalist, confident for the future of our movement, but more importantly, in the future of our race.
The most common perspective held by many young White Nationalists, myself included, is usually one of doom and gloom. As you all may very well know, we have little to celebrate. Our nations, our communities, our culture and identity is under full attack. These threats to our existence come on all fronts – both foreign and domestic – and they have placed the White race on the endangered species list. Those of us who know what is at stake have taken-up metaphorical arms against the liberal establishment, countering their attack on our identity, and they are beginning to feel the affects of our efforts.

Hilary Clinton almost “collapsed into her own footprint” as she left a 911 remembrance ceremony. Her collapse, like the collapse of the twin towers during the 911 attacks, is symbolic. The fall of Hillary Clinton is a premonition of things to come.

The establishment has never heard of the New or Alternative Right, and if they did, they strategically never mentioned us in their controlled media outlets. I think we owe Hilary Clinton a bit of gratitude for mentioning the Alternative Right on her campaign website and in a speech broadcasted across the country – albeit to warn America of our sinister, racist, and deplorable ways – introducing us to millions of Trump supporters across the nation. Many of whom feel totally ostracized by their political points of view – points of view that would not be seen as ostracizing if the American government hadn’t ostracized them! I think being called “irredeemable and deplorable” is pretty ostracizing, no?
But thanks to Hillary, these deplorable people now know that they are not alone.

Trump is not of the New or Alternative Right, Trump is nothing more than a American Nationalist – nationalist in the modern sense of the word –  and a politically moderate candidate. All that means is Trump is willing to objectively define what is- and what is not- America, and who- and who is not- American.
Trump is not explicitly pro-white, he is pro-American, and for the all inclusive modern liberal, that is grounds for discrimination and enough evidence to pin the label of “hate” upon his lapel. After all – as Hillary’s campaign slogan says “stronger together” – we are all in this together,
right deplorables?
“Stronger together” is not a presidential campaign slogan, it’s more of a war propaganda slogan to rally the masses for supporting a war – waged by the liberal establishment – against racism, sexism, islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and all other irredeemable and deplorable “ism”, that have been conveniently made synonymous with being a straight white male in America. In case you haven’t noticed, Trump is also a straight white male and the establishment hates him for all of the above mentioned reasons.
 
Thanks to Hilary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” statement, she too has objectively defined what is America, and who is American, and according to the modern liberal establishment, you – white America – are not American, and half of you are irredeemably deplorable.

White America; we are the builders, founders, and supporters of America. Your blood, sweat, and sacrifice has sustained this nation since its inception. This is our home.  America only exists because of us, and we will not allow the liberal establishment to redefine what it means to be an American. This is what Trump means when he says “make America great again.”

What makes Trump so attractive to the “Alternative Right” is simple, he may not be pro-white, but he is not anti-white. This simple fact alone is enough for many of us to call ourselves Trump supporters. Obviously I am one of them. Trump is not the ideal President, he is not the President we want, but right now, he is the President we absolutely need. White America has become nothing more than a forced-fed and sedated cow, who’s milk is given to the very people who want to slaughter us whole. We are sedated with emotional manipulation and force-fed egalitarian rhetoric to keep the milk flowing, which is used to nourish the enemy of our people. But we are more than a docile animal, more than their beast of burden, and we are about to unleash the raging bull that lies dormant inside each and every one of us, and take back what is rightfully ours.
Justice is coming, and the establishment knows this.

The Trump phenomenon, as many are calling it, is a sign that the bull is beginning to stir. The rage many white people have caged-up inside is beginning to break the surface. Evidence of this is found in the overwhelming support for Donald Trump, even with the unlimited Trump bashing and name calling in the media. It seems as though with every character assassination attempt on Donald Trumps political life, more people come to his defense by pledging their support.

I don’t think Trump or the liberal establishment saw any of this coming.

This took the liberal establishment by surprise and they are frightened of what Donald Trump represents: legitimate political interests of European-Americans.
Hillary, and the establishment she represents, is scared, they failed to see that their relentless anti-white media propaganda and government policies could backfire. They failed to see that labeling Trump as a man of the Alternative Right would backfire and lay the ground work for the unification of a presumably defeated people. What was once seen as a dead – silent majority is now a reinvigorated majority speaking out for their legitimate political interests –  with Trump as their voice. The dividing line between their America and the traditional, historically accurate America, will grow bolder with each passing day.

He is unapologetic, he is determined, and he is not afraid to go “all in” for what he believes must be done to “make America great again.”
Trump has shown those who are paying attention, that he would not only be a bold leader but also a man willing to put his career, his financial success, his name and the reputation of his family, on the line to do what he believes is right for his country. Can you name one person – wealthy or otherwise – who is willing to risk his safe, convenient, and luxurious personal life to do anything of the sort, especially by presenting highly unpopular political policies while running for the most powerful office in America to ensure their implementation? These qualities signify the mark of someone with great leadership ability, and I am willing to give Trump the chance to prove that he is worthy of the elite title and position.
With the rise of Islam in the West, Trump could not have come at a better time. He is the only candidate who speaks openly about the dangers that Islam represents to the Western world. This has also given rise to many classical liberals who are now calling themselves “alternative right”. People like Milo Yiannopoulos, Alex Jones, and Paul Joseph Watson of infowars, to name a few, have all jumped on the “alternative right” band wagon. Their critical of Islam, but they are only critical of Islam because it poses a threat to modern Western liberal values; secularism, liberty, freedom, feminism and gay rights. These are all legitimate concerns, but we on the Alternative Right are also critical of modern Western Liberal values, if you can call them that. But I guess at this point, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” and there is no need to have an internal battle while we face much larger and more immanent concerns. If we can get libertarians to join the fight against Islam in the West, get Trump into office, with time, we can begin to call for political policies that push further to the right – or explicitly pro-white policies – with less restraint.
Islam is a perfect example of what happens when you allow modern liberalism to hold hegemonic power over the Western world. Once Islam is removed, The Alternative Right must begin its tireless work at removing all forms of liberalism from the West to ensure that Islam, or any other existential threat to Western civilization, can never happen again. If we allow liberalism to keeps its ugly head, the degeneration process will start all over again, it’s time to end the cycle.

With Trump’s popularity bringing him closer to the Presidential office and libertarians now claiming that they are “alternative right” , this is a sign that the reversal process has begun. One step at a time. It’s as if America is a broken pipe and water is flooding the basement of your house. Before you can get the water out, you have to turn off the water, fix or replace the pipe, and only then could you effectively remove the stagnant water from the basement- water that threatens the very foundation of your home. Trump’s policies have shown that he has at least noticed the broken pipe, and is pointing out that we are all standing in stagnant water. The fact that this has made him popular, with the alternative right and classical liberals alike, is proof that we are no longer denying – or allowing the establishment to create – our reality.

Hierarchy, structure, and order are fundamentally right-wing. Like anything in life, you can not understand calculus without first understanding algebra, there is a structure and an order to everything. This understanding of hierarchy is important when building anything, including civilization.
If you want to build something that will be able to stand the test of time or a structure sound enough to support it’s own weight, you must start at the foundation. We have taken our first step in repairing the foundation of America, and the hegemonic liberal establishment is losing its grip.

LINK to donation fund for men in need of hospital care.  Here is one warrior who had a brush with death after having his wrist slit, there were other moderately severe injuries as well.

A new chapter in the national worker’s struggle has been written. The tide is turning and this renewed spirit of world history begins to peak through the clouds gathered over our people. We are on the brink of the dawn of a new era, and no amount of money or violence from the foot soldiers of world plutocracy can halt its overwhelming might.

On June 26th, the Traditional Worker Party alongside the Golden State Skinheads sought to peacefully assemble on the steps of the Sacramento capitol grounds to protest globalization, neo-liberalism, and the unrestricted violence of deep state Marxist paramilitaries who traditionally have made it impossible for anyone to give an opinion that is the right of George Soros. For two months, we received hundreds of death threats, and an “Anti-Fascist” coalition made up of feral social justice warriors, upper middle class college “bohemians”, and Californiagang members meticulously plotted their attack.

A Left-wing paramilitary organization called “By Any Means Necessary”, led by  (((Donna Stern))), organized this rabble in a campaign vowing to block our right to express ourselves through the utilization of violence. This organization, along with “Antifa Sacramento”, pasted fliers and stickers throughout Sacramento, asking people to attend the rally withbricks and baseball bats in an open incitement to violence. It appears the curvature of Ms Stern’s nose allots her the privilege to be above the law.

The Traditionalist Worker Party for months has been receiving death threats, and weeks before the rally, ‘Antifa’ openly collected funds forweapons, hospital bills , and bail money. What happened in Sacramento was an attempt at a premeditated act of domestic terrorism that failed catastrophically, and the fact that the effort collapsed should hearten all those who stand for the defense of free expression and civil liberty.

The numbers at the counter-revolutionary demonstration are reported to have been between 250 and 400, against 25-30 nationalists. We knew what the odds were, due to the widespread support and resources California’s (((“liberal”))) NGOs were expending to get their paid activists to stop our march.  After seeing the orgy of mindless brutality by these groups against vulnerable little people at San Jose Trump rally’s, we decided it was time to demonstrate to rise against the awaiting challenge. Aside from the horrifying scenes of women, old and disabled people being beat up by grown men from Left-wing groups at the Trump rallies in the Golden State,  even the tepid Conservative pundit Lauren Southern was subjected to violence from “Antifa” groups across the Atlantic.  When Southern complained to the apathetic police who refuse to arrest any Leftists they see assaulting her and her entourage, the police responded by giving her a lecture on why you should not express a different opinion when the communists, immigrants, and NGO Left are bussed into town to demonstrate with the intent of indulging in mindless violence.

But the Traditionalist Worker Party is not an impotent conservative organization. We scoff at their bourgeois nose-pinchers and understand the political reality in modern day America, we realize that the only way to change it is through coordinated and selfless resistance and self-defense. There is evidence that the police in Sacramento enabled and allowed the Antifa to attack our men.  In this clip you can see police on stand by, yelling while stationary from a distance, as a mob of leftists beats a Nationalist who is on the ground right in front of them, and here  mounted police look the other way and whistle as a member of the Mexican supremacist group “Brown Berets” (seen attacking people at Trump Rallies as well) casually walks up the steps and hit one of our men in the head with a bat without any provocation. With that said, there were also good policemen, who reported what they saw fairly, and thus vindicated our men legally.

The confrontations at the rally were all like this one , where TWP and GSS members went through painstaking lengths to AVOID physical violence, until it was no longer feasible:

FIRE WITH FIRE

Eventually, it became clear the police would do nothing to protect our permit, and our men–armed with nothing but shields and flag poles–drew the line in the sand. Back to back and shoulder to shoulder, these heroes showed no regards for their personal well-being, and engaged in an intense uphill battle against overwhelming odds. Baseball bats and knives were wrestled away from Marxist attackers, and six Antifas have been hospitalized in critical condition, with many more being treated for lesser injuries.

We only suffered one significant casualty, a comrade who was stabbed by a coward from behind in an artery. He is in good condition and recovering swiftly, but our brothers in California require our solidarity, financial support and thoughts. Their morale remains high albeit the stab wounds, aches, and scars, and their sacrifice and courage are actions that elevate the human spirit through new plateaus; the collective unconscious in all of us. What a few brave men can accomplish is no myth from comic books and action movies, it is how Western civilization was created, how it thrived. It is the regeneration of our ancestors and their archetype, the guardian of honor and justice, in Sparta, at the Alamo, the Romans and Vikings, the Reconquista, to the 20th century’s War of the Worlds. Our new social and national philosophy is the vehicle for an old one, a genuine tradition above the materialist rat-race and the sterile cosmopolitan “nu-male”.

Other Victims

Antifas and nationalists weren’t the only people who fought at the event. The Antifas, after their defeat, began aimlessly attacking policemen, their horses, random journalists, and even people on their own side who just so happened to be white men–likely in impotent racist rage. Frances Wang of ABC10 was there, and documented an independent journalist livestreaming the event getting hit with a bottle and stomped on, while the camera crew from the Sacramento Bee was also attacked for no real reason by the street criminals paraded by the large corporate media conglomerates as “defenders of human rights”.

The ideologically motivated “counter-protesters” (who, unlike the TWP, did not have a permit) are usually a minority, the bulk of the crowd was composed of sadists looking to hit someone–anyone. But this time the bullies got bullied back. As much as they might declare “victory” while begging for blood donations on social media, while controlled Zionist wires like Associated Press purposely publish misinformation that this was was Ku Klux Klan rally, and while the Southern Poverty Law Center gets immediate access through its tribal network to tell lies on CNN, what every honest observer saw (including local media, police, and passerbys) was Leftists picking a fight and losing badly.

The Sacramento Spartans are an example to us all. It’s time everyone stop letting people like the Martin Luther King middle school teacher (and member of BAMN) Yvette Felarca bully us into silence.  It’s time everyone looking for a place to stand, a place to speak, a place to express themselves hold their ground and make the feeling of self-righteousness these vermin get when they attack the helpless actually have a price of admission.

We will defend our people and our cause within legal bounds, no matter what the odds are, WE HAVE TO WIN! We either do what it takes now, even if it means we have to risk our lives and health, or doom our children and their children to the fate of the South African Boers.   If the anti-white “intersectional” coalition is already acting like this, where will you run to once white people are a minority?

Honest men have nothing to fear. Whoever you are,  whatever group you belong to: stand up and be counted, stand your ground when someone comes to oppress you. Protect your rights and don’t give in!

As long as there are heroes, there is hope. For those foes who have not learned their lesson, be forewarned, we will contest you for space again and again. And you will lose–the will for freedom is stronger in us!

Long live the Sacramento Spartans, long live the Traditionalist Worker Party, long live the heroic rebirth of the Occident.

Until the Final Victory,

http://whiteadvocate.weebly.com/blog/four-years-later-breaking-down-former-luzerne-county-gop-chairman-terry-caseys-absurd-statement-on-my-election

By:Steve Smith

Back in 2012, I was elected to the Luzerne County Republican Committee for the first time. My election brought great publicity because of the fact that I was a openly pro-White activist. In a normal world , this election victory wouldn’t be a blip on a radar. However, in today’s anti-White politically correct bizarro world, my election was national news.

Predictably, the GOP County Chairman at the time, Terry Casey felt compelled to issue a press release denouncing me. I will break down and refute Casey’s idiotic statement point by point . My comments will be in italics.

Former Luzerne County GOP Chairman Terry Casey was a cuckservative before the term was coined!

Former Luzerne County GOP Chairman Terry Casey was a cuckservative before the term was coined!
Here is Terry Casey’s statement:

The election of Steven Smith to the Republican Committee of Luzerne County (LCRC) has received media coverage in the last few days.  We are grateful to the Anti-Defamation League and other media outlets for bringing to our attention the racially charged and disturbing background of this man from Pittston.  We unequivocally denounce Mr. Smith and his abhorrent views and would like to make it clear that in no way do his personal views reflect the views of the Republican Party.

Terry Casey’s first mistake was being “grateful” to the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL is a leftist Jewish Supremacist organization that  routinely manufactures  false notions of  “anti-semitism” to try to justify their existence. Jewish filmmaker Yoav Shamir caught Abe Foxman and the ADL letting their guard down in his excellent documentary Defamation. Watch it below and then tell me if you still think the ADL  is credible.

Mr. Smith was elected as one of two Republican Committeemen from Pittston City Ward 4.  He was elected with only one write-in vote – a vote that was most likely his own.  The other two write-in votes cast in this ward went to Mr. George Carmean, a long-time committee member of the LCRC. 

Pennsylvania State election code allows any registered Republican or Democrat to write their name in to become a member of the County Committee.  The Bylaws of the Luzerne County Republican Committee indicate that the only qualification for election to the County Committee be that one has been a registered Republican for the two years preceding their election.  There is no other eligibility requirement in this regard.  Also, there is no express provision in the bylaws of the LCRC that would authorize the Executive Committee or the District Committee to “expel” a member of the Committee for his or her “beliefs.”  

The Luzerne County Republican Committee does not endorse or represent any of the hateful views of Mr. Smith, nor did any of the voters in Pittston City or Luzerne County.  The efforts of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party and its affiliated media organizations to portray anything otherwise are incredibly disingenuous, shameful, and insulting to all residents of Luzerne County.  Their efforts, however, are indicative of the underhandedness in which they are willing to engage to advance their hypocrisy and political aims.

Mr. Smith elected himself to the LCRC with one vote. For media outlets like “Think Progress” or others to suggest that the people of Pittston, let alone the voters of Luzerne County, support this man in any significant number is shameful and insulting to all of the residents of Pittston and Northeast Pennsylvania, Democrat or Republican.  In an ill-researched post on ThinkProgress.org, Adam Peck wrote that, “Smith is also an active member of local Tea Party groups, a network that he used to gain support for his bid for the committee seat.”  This claim is blatantly false.  Smith has been banned from the NEPA Tea Party Facebook page and has not been welcome at their meetings.  Peck’s suggestion that Smith used the Tea Party network to gain support for his committee election would be laughable if this were not such a serious accusation.  This “story” is indicative of the underhanded, self-serving tactics used by the Pennsylvania Democratic Party and a happily complicit media, and illustrates the deep hypocrisy and lies they are willing to engage in for the basest political purposes.

Four years later, Casey’s statements about my views not representing the voters of Pittston City seem incredibly stupid. In the 2016 election in my ward , I got 70 votes out of 74 cast for my committee seat which is 94% of the vote.

If Casey was smart (which he obviously wasn’t), he should have brought up the fact that Philadelphia had a  Democratic committeeman named Jerry Jackson, who was also a member of the viciously anti-White New Black Panther Party. Watch below as Democratic committeeman Jerry Jackson hands out NBPP literature while his comrade King Samir Shabazz talks about killing Whites and their babies! These are real hateful views.

The Republican Party has a long and proud history of supporting and promoting Civil Rights for all Americans and any racially intolerant views are unequivocally not welcome in the County, State or National Republican Parties.  The nation’s first abolitionists were Republicans, no one fought harder for the abolition of slavery than Republican President Abraham Lincoln, The first African-American to run for President was Republican Frederick Douglas, The Civil Rights Act of 1964 would not have been passed without the support of Republican Senators from the Northeast, Martin Luther King Jr. Day was made a National Holiday by Republican President Ronald Reagan.  The issue at this time, however, is not the Civil Rights credentials of the Republican Party. The issue at this time is the hypocrisy of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party.

Mr. Casey shows his outstanding lack of knowledge concerning the racial views of our first Republican President Abraham Lincoln.

Here is a quote from Lincoln from 1858:

“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races; I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people.”

Not only did Lincoln make several quotes that I am sure that Casey would view as “hateful and abhorrent” , Lincoln also wanted to deport all the Blacks out of the United States to Central America.

Would Mr. Casey denounce Mr. Lincoln as racially intolerant ?

We sincerely regret the efforts of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party to create a political football out of an issue that both Democrats and Republicans should be anxiously ready to agree upon. In fact, the Luzerne County Democratic Party has joined with the LCRC to denounce Mr. Smith and his involvement, stating that, “Steve Smith obviously does not represent the Luzerne County Republican Party in any way, shape, or form.” We applaud the efforts of the Luzerne County Democratic Committee to join us in not only denouncing Mr. Smith, but to return political discourse to focusing on key issues at hand, like creating jobs and fixing our economy.  We encourage the Pennsylvania Democratic Party to do the same.

 Terry Casey lost his bid for re-election as GOP chairman a few weeks after making this ill-conceived press release.
