Here's what Jared Taylor and the AmRen bunch get in return for letting Yids into the tent; the Wiesenthal Center swindlers put American Renaissance on their smear list as "a problematic White Power web site." Such pals, Jews!

Subject: Thanks for a great website...


Hello good people at VNN,

I used to be a very tolerant guy...I had nothing against nobody unless they did me wrong, and even then it was the individual I was against.

Now, since my neighborhood is getting overrun with immigrants, break ins and gangs, I have to make a reverse jail of my place, bars on the windows, sleeping with baseball bats, just 2 days ago I had to fend off a black trying to taunt my girlfriend and I, and to no surprise, I was looked as the racist foul one., for just defending my right of passage in MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

Something is truly very very wrong with the world these days..whatever happened to working for a living? Cultural identity? Are whites the only ones not allowed to have a cultural identity? is it reserved for people from 3rd world countries and dirty haitians off the boat?

I feel very alone...most of the whites are so against the idea of race and even get insulted if I mention that whites should stick together for the common good. Nowadays when I go out, It's rare I see a white-white couple...it's always black-white girl...hispanic-white girl, indian-white girl, arab-white girl..and so forth...

What's going on? when did we lose our way?? Why have we become such lambs that we take all these insults and slurs against our blood and heritage?

Why is it that no one can see through these things? the media is so profoundly anti-white... I think the higher ups are trying to make every culture the same, therefore a lot easier to have their way with the masses. anyways I've ranted enough, thanks for the great website, I check it everyday for real news stories that have affect my interests...not "white cop kills defenseless black", and you read further down "black dropped his shotgun after white cop shot"

A concerned VNN reader.

Ed Note: You are not alone. All of us who have not contracted the infection of White self-hatred, have felt alone at one time or another -- and that's what our enemy wants us to feel. But more and more of us are gradually awakening, thanks in large part to the Internet and its short-circuiting of Jewish media control. The growth of VNN over the past year of its existence is proof that there's a great hunger in our people for the truth -- and that the will for racial survival will prevail.

Subject: Hollywood Gentiles


From:Finn McCool

I love the movie reviews - but one thing for Mark Rivers to keep in mind: Mark Wahlberg (Planet Of The Apes) is not a jew! He's German (Catholic). A lot of people in Hollywood and the media with German/Scandinavian names are assumed to be jews and are not. David Letterman, not a jew. Dick Enberg and Brent Musberger the sports announcers, not jews. Tom Snyder, not a jew! I suspect that these guys got breaks BECAUSE the jews assumed they were fellow chosenites because of their names and looks. It happens. A friend of mine (he's Irish), has coasted through a great career in the media here in LA because jews think he's a jew! The stories he has about thesetreacherous pieces of two legged defecation are an eye opener. Take care.

Dear VNN,

I really enjoyed the replies that both you and other VNN readers made to the recent spate of hate mail. Thanks especially to "Finn", "Matt" and "White Stay at home Mom" for their letters. Anyone who reads the hate mail, then these replies, will know which group is using its brains.

Subject: Movie Review of Planet of the Apes


I usually tend to agree with Mark Rivers' assessment of the average Hollywood fare. In short: It's awful. Most people would be better off sticking their head in a tub full of water and seeing how long they could hold their breath. I have to disagree, however, with his most recent recommendation: Planet of the Apes.

First of all, as a life long science fiction buff, it simply doesn't pass muster as even adequate sci fi. The gizmos are flimsy and unimpressive, the space station around Saturn is anemic, and the little rocket ships are goofy . There is nothing really to suggest "futuristic." The CGI pictures of Saturn are nice, but the space station is never shown on screen with it (no doubt to hold down the budget) so we are left to imagine for ourselves that it really is there. The "space storm" is as ridiculous looking as it is unscientific, looking as if it were created as an afterthought by an amateur with a 3rd rate CGI program.

Speaking of the science, which as every sci fi buff knows is crucial to a good sci fi story, I'm reminded of the commercial which always asks as it's tag line "Did you ever get the feeling some people have just stopped trying?" We don't have to demand that the story adhere strictly to all known laws and never make conjectures about what is unknown, that wouldn't be science fiction. The general rule is that you stretch the current unknowns and possibilities into a vague fiber of probability from which you can weave a story. You do NOT however, go out and ignore established fact.

The most absurd example of this comes at the end when Leo's ship springs back into space around Saturn and manages to make the 2.3 billion mile journey from Saturn to Earth in under a minute, a trip that light itself requires over an hour and a half to make (oh, and he crash lands on Earth without being turned into a puddle of goo after coming in at near light speed). All through the picture there are similar, "beyond stupid" as I like to say, examples. The "Storm" itself, is complete absurdity and seems to have been ripped off from an old Star Trek episode. Of course, there are no swirling storms that pop in space from time to time like thunderboomers. Mark Rivers kindly tries to help them out by assuming that they mean a "wormhole," but this is overgenerous since they never mentioned such a thing. Besides, if a wormhole did suddenly appear in the Solar System it would have the same gravitational effect as plopping down a super massive giant star in our solar system. Our sun would begin orbiting about it and most of the planets would be ejected from the system or fall into the wormhole and get ripped apart. Other examples include electronics that suddenly work after crash landing on a planet and left exposed and unused for thousands of years, and "apes" that managed to evolve in that same period from the still primitive creature represented by "Pericles" to simian geniuses capable of lording over humans. Director Tim Burton could have made the same story without the nonsense, but he didn't even try.

Of course most readers of VNN are more interested in the ideological messages and it is here that I part from Mr. Rivers. Most men will appreciate the image of the luscious, but totally gratuitous, Estella Warren slinking about in a short little "Flintstones" type dress. Most men except Leo however who seems to acknowledge her gratuitousness by ignoring her for most of the movie until the end where he gives her a little tongue before hopping in his goofy rocket ship and heading home. It's not just Estella's character that is seemingly gratuitous however, but the whole human cast with the exception of Leo. After all, Estella's character at least has an official name "Daena" (though I don't remember it being used in the movie), none of the other characters do. The rest of the humans are little more than vague card board cutouts. We never learn anything about them or their history, they are meant to be anonymous humans and we are not meant to connect with them at all.

A story however, even one as bad as Planet of the Apes, has to connect with the audience somehow. We are supposed to identify with the characters on the screen and put ourselves in their place. The director and writers do this by developing the characters they want us to identify with. They tell us about these characters and give them background and depth. Who then, are we meant to identify with in this movie? The apes of course. The apes have names. They have homes and families. We see them at play at love and interpersonal conflicts. We see their casual conversations around the dinner tables. We see them praying piously to their god and arguing over moral issues. We also see them making ideological statements that will sound familiar to anyone who pays attention to politics. In short: We are meant to see ourselves in the apes. This may seem obvious, but the point of it is far from benign.

In the movie, there are two identifiable factions, the human haters and the "human rights" faction. The human haters are exemplified by General Thade and the "human lovers" (sound familiar?), as one little ape contemptuously calls her, is exemplified by a female Chimpanzee named Ari. The two factions approximate the general political dichotomy of our time between "Conservatives" and "Liberals." The human haters (Conservatives) are bad people, the human rights faction (Liberals) are the good people. Just so we don't miss the point, Ari spends a lot of time preaching to her fellow Apes about how humans and Apes can live together in peace and denouncing the mistreatment of humans. "We demean ourselves as much as them" she says. General Thade on the other hand cribs a line from "Mr. Conservative," Barry Goldwater, by declaring "Extremism in the defense of apes is no vice!" With the battle lines drawn we are meant to squirm a little as these and a few other familiar political slogans come out of the mouths of apes. Pace Mr. Rivers, this is yet another exercise in self righteous finger waging and moral grandstanding by left wing Hollywood hacks. "See!" They are saying, "imagine if you were treated the way you treat others!" "You are evil and vicious people, you do terrible things to your fellow creatures, you should be ashamed!" Mind you, Tim Burton and his fellow propagandist were not just referring to animal rights however.

Ari, doesn't just object to the cruelty to the humans, rather she makes the case that "They are capable of culture." Now, if we are meant to be the Apes, the humans in the story can't just represent the animals. After all, no one suggests that the squirrels and the dogs are capable of culture. Rather the Humans are meant to represent Non whites, which is why the entire human cast is whiter than a klan rally except for the one black guy.

Leftist believe that the ascendance of white European civilization is entirely incidental. A fluke of history. It could just as easily have been the Aborigines or the Africans as it was the Europeans. The movie is meant to reflect that belief when Leo accidently goes from an all white human environment to an all ape environment where the almost entirely white human population is oppressed. "See how you like it now!" you can hear the writers saying. This is the main point of the story: White people are evil.

After spending most of the movie amongst the apes, a transference occurs, a transference of perspective. This occurs as Leo and his crew flee toward the "forbidden city," While Leo doesn't find his rescue party as he'd hoped, he does encounter a huge population of humans (all white) who suddenly flock to him as their savior, while close behind, the armies of General Thade are coming to kill them. It is as the humans prepare to meet the oncoming horde that our perspective is transfered to the humans who are an undifferentiated mass of humanity. After 90 percent of the movie identifying with the apes, we are now cast with the humans. The point is to make us feel hopeless, to feel terror and to feel anger... at ourselves. Now, we are the white people, we are oppressed, now we know how our "victims" (i.e. the denizens of the third world) feel. Yet again Hollywood beats white people over the head and tries to hold up to us the warped mirror they claim we should recognize ourselves in. It is typical commie Jew propaganda, pure and simple.

So why the lone negro and an asian lady? Two reasons. One is that Hollywood is as incapable of making a movie without at least one "person of color" as they are of breathing underwater. The asian lady is almost forgettable and the black guy is an inconsequential member of an already inconsequential human cast. The other reason is that the secondary message of the movie (the primary one being that whites are evil) is that we can all live together in one big happy multi cultural family, even the evil white people, if we try. As we see the black fighting along side the whites, we are meant to feel kinship, this is especially true once the transference of perspective is made from apes to humans. This is why they linger on the excruciating death of the black during the battle. "We really aren't so different" is the message. What is the minor skin color differences next to the differences with the apes. At the end, even our differences with the apes are smoothed over as the dead are buried and an ape leader avers that "the dead shall be buried without marker, and all shall be mourned equally." Aside from the fact that this is almost as absurd as Leo's superluminal trip from Saturn to Earth, the point is again to assert the multi cultural dogma: "See, we kin all just git along aferall!"

I can see some of Mr. Rivers' points in his review, especially about the presence of negros on the planet when there shouldn't have been, I just can't agree that this movie represents anything other than yet another in a long string of Hollywood-Jew-hate-whitey films.

By the way, if you want a good movie to see, I recommend "Driven." It captured the box office the weekend it opened and while it has a few shortcomings, it is a great movie about, for and by White people. It really shows white people at their best. I saw a lot of snide and hateful reviews about it but I enjoyed it and everyone I know who saw it liked it also.

Also, "The Thirteenth Warrior" was good. Again, a movie that atypically shows white people acting noble, brave and heroic. It's worth putting up with Antonio Banderas to watch.

If you wish to print this, go right ahead.

Have a nice day

Hello,

I'm regular visitor to your site, though I'm not a white but Tibetan. You can call me a race' student, who is just Collecting information from all the sources. I'm doing this for quite a some time, 6 years precisely. The result concluded so far is nothing but a family tree of racial diversion, everyone trying to dominate other through some means. This graphical annotation is not my intent to write this letter but just to point out a courageous aesopian suggestion.

Your entire site indicates, what problem white people are facing in your country! No solution or suggestions are pointed out. Which itself indicates a narcissist cry site. Your task maybe to make people aware of the Implacable race problem, But when marketed person visits your site, he is burden with lot of question about his security in this country And when he tries to seek the answer, he is directed towards conventional media and other information Source that you hate being out there.

What you need now if the problems you perceive to be real, is a White GANDHI and not a HITLER. Gandhi is an Indian who alone united all ignorant Indians and drove British barbarians to their homeland. And this without bloodshed. Which was not achieved even after sacrifice of 1 million lives over 200 years. Same is indeed truly needed for Tibet.

You seem to be an English Teacher pointing out grammatical errors at readers email. Which you will find plenty in this letter.

Thanks for Reading.

Subject: Hal Turner & "Who Rules America"


Gentlemen, and especially Dr. Pierce,

Hello! This is "Maguire". I write for/on Robert Frenz' http://www.faem.com website. You may or may not be aware there's been a ruckus between us and Hal Turner. After a couple of weeks he is now featuring the Naional Alliance's "Who Rules America" on his website, complete with a link back into http://www.natall.com. One of my criticisms of him was not linking to others in the larger white movement.

Robert Frenz and I had some doubts (some of which persist) about where this man really is.

But tonight on his shortwave edition of his show he announced, on FCC regulated air over WBCQ, that "Who Rules America" would be the sole topic of his next Monday's show a week from now. He told me ahead of time he'd do it and so far he's keeping strictly to his word to me. He was also quite radical, or correct from our viewpoint, about race mixing and the absolute primacy of the white race to civilization. He also ran three Aryan Nations' ads during commercial breaks.

The shortwave Monday show was an important test to me. His archive of that show should be up by tommorow on his website for you to listen to and draw your own conclusions.

You men will do whatever you consider best for the N.A. For myself I suggest to you this is a moment for a focused maximum effort 'net wide by your troops. I'm not talking about the 'choir now'. We have to get the choir to reach out to Buchananites, anti-NWOists, Birchers, and many others. Hit Free Republic, all the discussion boards, email lists. Use good simple thematics.

My only consideration is advancing the pro-white cause.

A chronic problem has been shortage of our own non-Jewish controlled media. Someone else now has got the brass cojones to step forward and take on that grizzly on-air at the central point of "Who controls". I don't think he should be left unsupported.

Think through the pros and cons. There's seven days to promote this if you think the opportunity is a good one.

Best Regards,

Dear VNN,

About a couple weeks ago I stumbled onto your site through other sites regarding white issues and race. I never really thought about it much, but I knew that something inside of me knew your site (as well as others) were speaking the truth in the face of political correct thinking of the Jewish media.

Let me first state, my hometown is Wichita Kansas, born and raised there, went to school at the Wichita State University - which attracts more international students in the region than flies to horses' shit. Further this school is in the heart of appropriately called by the White natives of Wichita, as "nigger town" -- but see, this college is so Liberal it has donated much funds to improve the area (AKA:nigger town) to attract international students to their engineering programs so they can learn how to be engineers and then go back to their countries to be assets to their country....anyways.....I was part of different student organizations to help with "multiculturalism" issues ... frankly, the whites cared and the internationals and the blacks that went there free, didn't.

If one took a drive around the area, you can see the depravity on that side of town: drugs, shootings, rapes, etc....then when one of my best friends (Blond hair, blue eyes, ethnically German, nonsmoker, brilliant and beautiful) got involved with the black "cook" she worked with at a restaurant her life WENT TO HELL -- I'm not joking, she lost her friends, she smoked his dope and took his beatings, I can't tell you how many phone calls we had and I just kept telling her "leave HIM" and she couldn't it was like he had her brainwashed or something, before I left town - she was preggo with the asshole's baby -- I was so mad at her!

These "white" people who wrote this hate mail to you need to realize a few things:

1. No one forced them to come to your site and read your beliefs, they came on their own free will, it was their own damn fault they were offended.

2. They need to get their head out of their butt crack, or the wipe the shit of their nose they got stuck way up in the Jewish way of thinking....

3. They need a lesson, go take a drive any moderate sized city and visit their "nigger town" in their city... ya, walk up and down the streets, unarmed and with a big smile, maybe flash some money around & then tell me these people are on the same playing field as European Americans.

I can think of 10 other things these self-righteous, brainwashed, politically correct, not going to offend anyone because that is a "non-no" type of mentally can do to get a reality lesson!

Just wanted to rant and
Keep up the good work,

Subject: Negroianity


NEGROIANITY

Followers of "Islam" may pray five times a day while facing "Mecca", and "Charismatic" judeos may pray off and on all day for the arrival of the great "Sharon" in the sky, BUT there is a religion that demands far more of your time and effort than even the kookiest cult does. It is the relatively new (40 year-old) religion of NEGROIANITY! In "faith" and in "works", White people (all of whom are SINNERS, of course) must strive to offer up multiple acts of "contrition" daily, in order to prove to the saintly, oh-so-superior Nigger that they are no longer "racist", read: Satanic.

The theology of Negroianity is replete with "pitiful" tales of White Devil-men castrating angelic nigger males after having "falsely" (of course!) accused them of sexually assaulting White Devil-women. Back in the "Dark Ages" (pre-Snivel Rights era), White Devil-men had felt that it was their "right" to protect their property and their White Devil-women from the nigger race. This was due to White Devil "ignorance" of the fact that EVERYTHING on this planet, including our White Asses, by birthright BELONGS to the nigger race, so sayeth the Universal Cosmic Coon!

Once cleansed of one's dreaded "whiteness", one can begin the process of negrification. There are many masonic-styled "degrees" in this process. The first step on the "path" is the rejection of all "sinful" White thoughts and desires. It is common for beginners to "fall off the wagon" and find themselves thinking "horrible" things like "God, these niggers smell like Sh&%!" or "What a bunch of freakin' morons". One shouldn't get discouraged however, because the White Devil, "Aryanus" will attempt to drag the initiate back into his formerly "lost" state of Whiteness. Just do like they do in Alcoholics Anonymous and "take it one day at a time". "Hi, my name is Bob and it has been 947 days since I last called a spade a spade." If one makes it all the way to the end of this "spiritual journey", one will be declared an "honorary nigger". That's right, if you have jumped through all the requisite hoops and when slapped on one butt-cheek promptly turned the other, you will become an "illuminated 33'rd degree Negrophile"!

Lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet. If you aspire to be a truly "righteous" non-nigger you must first start by making a virtually endless series of overtures to your "racial betters". Due to the boundless goodness of the nigger people, they have been known to overlook the demonic origins of White Devil-people and "bless" them with their genetic material, producing "beautiful, divine, children of color"! Can you believe the ability to "forgive" that is inherent in ALL niggers? Can you imagine the "godliness" that would be required in order to be able to "love" and cohabit with your "evil oppressors"? Hail, Clarence Thomas! Hail, Orenthal James Simpson! Hail, the Nigger Race of Gods!

If you live your life as a humble, meek, eternally genuflecting negrophile, perhaps you'll even be "sainted", posthumously! Remember recently deceased "righteous" non-nigger, Coach Tom "we must wash the feet of the black man" Landry? You know, the one that was so "proud" that both of his White Devil-daughters had been "blessed" by having the children of Nigger Bucks? Yes, the good coach was recently declared the first reformed White Devil Saint of Negroianity! What an honor, huh?

Well, I know that this may seem like a daunting task. You may feel that you lack that certain "something" that would enable you to aspire to the "heights" of true Negritude. So, why don't you start small? This is where the Television can come in handy. Need a new car? Let Tiger Woods sell you a Buick! As he says 15 times an hour- "It's all good!" In the mood for a "laugh"? Flip on some "Cosby Show" reruns and watch that silly old coon screw his face up like an ape and don't forget to laugh on cue. Thank the Black Lord that Nigger sit-coms come with Canned Laughter! If they didn't, how would we dumb Whites know when to start laughing? If you're in the mood for some "tunes", why listen to White Devil Noise like Mozart, when you can "keep it real" by listening to the uplifting works of Ice Cube? Hell, when you think about it, it's virtually impossible to avoid opportunites for self-degrading, soul-cleansing acts of nigger-worship!

Subject: The Carto before the hoarse.


Gentlemen:

Years ago, about 1972, I wrote an article on the metric system hype. I submitted it to Spotlight. It was turned down as "too lengthy." I was then a subscriber to Spotlight and read every issue. One article I particularly noticed. In order to avoid personal bias, I read it to my wife. After a few paragraphs, she said, "You've already read that to me a month or so ago. It's your article on the metric system. "What's interesting, " I said, "is that the author is a Dr. Ian Richardson -- an amazing coincidence wouldn't you say?"

I really wasn't upset since I have had material lifted from me all my life -- even the formulation for the now common 'waterless hand cleaner'. It's just one of those things... as the song goes. Anyway, I knew a very efficient snoop who had a nose for this sort of stuff, and he did a little homework. "Dr. Ian Richardson" was a nom de plume of Willis Carto. That was all I needed to forever relegate this man to my private garbage can. I no longer cared how much others thought he "contributed to the cause". He was a piece of shit. Period.

Years later, I had a chance to observe this man on a personal level. His disgusting treatment of Hans Schmitt really didn't surprise me but only revived my disgust.

When the shining 'white hope' Pat Buchanan appeared on the political scene, I wondered how this could be since Larry King always smiled at him and Pat was host on Crossfire for years. I held to my premiss that anyone continuously treated well on the TV circuit certainly would be little more than a distraction and very likely, a 'safety value' for an angry populace. Millions support these Peter Pans and it probably will always be so since the average Joe really isn't interested in much past the moment and certainly can be expected to avoid anything unpleasant. Wishful thinking has been the bane of most men over the centuries.

Two writers at the Arizona Republic have decided that we are "commonly known as Anglos," and Resisting Defamation thinks that this is their way to smother our diversity and to paint us as one-dimensional figures in the public's eye. Naturally, we don't like it.

Hereafter we have (1) the article itself from the Arizona Republic dated 7/20/01, (2) email addresses of the writers and editors to use, (3) two sample letters emphasizing different aspects of this smothering noun, and (4) the URL to use to locate the article for yourself.

Please write to the authors of this article and as many of the editors as you can squeeze into your "CC" or "BCC" box.

SECTION: FRONT; Pg. A1
LENGTH: 211 words
HEADLINE: HOMEOWNER RACIAL GAP GROWS;
STATE'S PROGRESS 'DISAPPOINTING'
BYLINE: By Jon Kamman and Ryan Konig, The Arizona Republic

BODY:

Despite a decade of prosperity and flourishing racial diversity, Arizona's minorities fell further behind Anglos in achieving the American Dream: owning a home. Analysis of 2000 census data reveals that White non-Hispanics, commonly known as Anglos, own their homes at a rate one-third higher than the combined rate for Hispanics, Blacks, Native Americans, Asians and Pacific Islanders.

The gap has widened since 1990, when Anglos' proportion of ownership overshadowed the minority rate by about one-fourth. Minorities, who now constitute 36 percent of the state's population, made only minuscule gains. For every 1,000 minority homes in the latest census, 546 were owned. That was an increase of only eight units per thousand since 1990.

Meanwhile, for every 1,000 Anglo households counted last year, 728 were owner-occupied, up 59 units from 1990. "With all we've done to emphasize minority homeownership, this is somewhat disappointing," said Terry Goddard, state coordinator for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Said Jay Butler, chief real estate analyst at Arizona State University: "If the question is whether everyone has participated in the economic boom, the answer from these figures is tending to be probably not."

Date: 7/28/2001 10:28:58 PM Pacific Daylight Time

Dear Arizona Republic Editors & Writers:

We are group of Celtic Americans, with members around the nation and in Arizona, and we are deeply offended by the arrogance of Kamman & Konig thinking that they have the authority or power to name us "Anglos." We have reference to their snotty statement in an article dated July 20, 2001, in which they said, "... 2000 census data reveals that White non-Hispanics, commonly known as Anglos,,,"

While "Anglo-Saxon" is an well-known European label, "Anglo" does not fit all European Americans, including all Celtics, Slavics, Iberians, Italians, Greeks, and Germanics. Celtic Americans derive from the Irish, the Manx, the Bretons, the Scots, and the Welsh. We are not "Anglos." Shame on Kamman & Konig, the anti-Celtic bigots.

Subj: Racial Slurs in the Arizona Republic
Date: 7/29/2001 5:39:57 AM Pacific Daylight Time

Dear Sirs:

I am writing in regard to a legitimate usage which has been converted into a persistant racial slur that has found its way into the South Western media lexicon, especially that of the Arizona Republic.

The term "Anglo", as used by mssrs. Kamman and Konig in a recent Republic article, to describe European Americans is inaccurate, at best. This term crops up frequently in the Arizona Republic and AZCentral.com articles.

"Anglo" may have found common usage in Arizona, but that does not make it right. I'm sure the terms "greaser," "wetback," and "beaner" were also part of the local vocabulary; however, I would never expect to find them used in one of your articles. "Anglo" is part of an ancient and honorable name, Anglo-Saxon, but the purposes of your use reflect discredit on the honor of your paper.

If you wish to refer to European Americans, then please refer to European Americans and do not use a narrow label to define a vast and varied population.
