When we Need Germany to Teach us About our Nazi Problem

DAVID SHUSTER VIDEO, EXCLUSIVELY FOR YOU!

WATCH as David Shuster shows how dumb-dumb Trump tries to bury the Epstein story but just add a flame-thrower to the fire!

Cliff’s Note:

Hey folks, today we have a column below promoting a frightening but essential documentary for you to view. The column is by my pal Kris Goldsmith, and it had to be shared today. Germany, my friends, is now needed to publicly expose our Nazis, as our monopoly media refuses, because they’re corporate automatons.

A few words, then I give you to Kris’ powerful post on the cross-pyromaniac incel complex. Last night, Sen. Corey Booker called out fellow Dems for not fighting the “authoritarian” Trump. Good! I don’t like ripping Dems, but masked men kidnap us, a President’s steals funds put aside for those hurting in blue states, to give to states that voted for the gaudy, Hannibal-Lecter-loving pimp. And 2,897 more atrocities.

It isn’t normal. Please act and speak like you get this!

The Senate must provide “unanimous consent” to move forward on items, so one holdout can slow the Senate to a crawl. MAGA, as you can imagine, used this more times than Mike Johnson put on infra-red goggles to monitor his son’s porn.

But Dems are nice! Well, stop! Sen. Booker did, saying what was necessary about Democratic “complicity” if they didn’t stand up to the cretinous Trump (video below). We need this from other proven Senate fighters—Chris Murphy, Elizabeth Warren, Sheldon Whitehouse, Tammy Duckworth, Brian Schatz. Use your leverage to stop Trump from robbing us, burying the Epstein story, sending masked Mugabes to kidnap children. You wanna win, and stop this chaos and catastrophe? Show urgency.

Show that you’re as horrified and furious about Trump’s treachery as we are! Sen. Booker just gave you a roadmap. And more help is on the way! Now is long past time!

Racism, Hatred & Terror: a Network of Right Wing Extremists

by Kris Goldsmith

The film opens with footage that most decent people wouldn’t recognize, but that I can’t ever unsee.

It’s a compilation of first-person footage recorded by white supremacist mass shooters—terror meant to be livestreamed, copied, and celebrated. One of those scenes is the Buffalo helmet-camera video, filmed as he carried out a massacre at a grocery store. Another, approaches a Synagogue. Yet another, murderer breaks into a Mosque. They follow the same formula: hate-fueled violence made for digital distribution. Some of us in antifascist research watched these events live as they proliferated in real-time across far-right spaces on the internet. All of of us have seen these clips repackaged, glorified, and reposted by extremists countless times ever since.

This is the first image World White Hate gives us. Not because it’s gratuitous, but because it’s honest. The documentary doesn’t look away from what fascist violence actually looks like in our time. It shows how terrorism in the U.S. is now designed for viral replication. It shows how the ideology behind the trigger pulls is being exported across the globe. And it shows what those of us trying to stop it are up against.

Over the past several years, I’ve collaborated with investigative journalists and documentary filmmakers to expose the growing threat of organized fascism in the United States. Many of those projects were shelved before release—or found themselves without mainstream distribution partners—not because the material lacked substance, but because American media institutions lacked the political will to support them.

World White Hate, a three-part documentary produced by German filmmakers and recently released internationally via ARTE, stands as one of the few projects that made it to the public. I appear in the latter two episodes, alongside other American veterans and antifascist organizers. Together, we provide firsthand accounts of the crisis and share our strategies for resisting it.

This documentary is unflinching. It doesn’t sanitize or soften the truth. It depicts the violence, the ideology, and the networks fueling this global movement. That honesty is precisely why it would never have aired on American television.

This isn’t a matter of market dynamics. It’s a matter of fear. Even before the 2024 election cycle intensified, executives across streaming platforms, studios, and legacy media were already anticipating the consequences of a second Trump presidency. Rather than provoke the wrath of MAGA operatives or risk political retaliation, many chose to look away. World White Hate was caught in that silence—a film too direct, too damning, too true for an American audience.

So it was German journalists who took the lead. They traveled to the U.S., collected the evidence, and brought it back to Europe to warn their own country about the transnational rise of fascism.

They recognized something our country continues to evade: that the United States is no longer merely vulnerable to far-right extremism—we’re exporting it.

We are a global hub of white supremacist propaganda, organizing, and insurgent ideology.

The fascists are now in power in the United States—and they’re systematically dismantling the already-meager structures meant to counter violent white supremacist extremism. With Donald Trump in the White House and J.D. Vance as vice president, federal agencies are adopting nationalist memes as policy, concentrating power, and redirecting resources toward repressive enforcement.

Government social-media accounts are pushing white-nationalist and deportation memes—like “Alligator Alcatraz”—that celebrate cruelty toward migrants.

ICE has expanded into the nation’s largest paramilitary apparatus. A landmark MAGA megabill earmarked $150 billion for immigration enforcement through 2029, with roughly $75 billion going directly to ICE—exceeding the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, and U.S. Marshals combined.

FEMA funds intended for disaster relief are being redirected to new detention infrastructure—concentration camps designed to be dangerous and to treat migrants as less-than-human.

Meanwhile, key congressional committees—dominated by MAGA loyalists—are stripping money from public education, scientific research, and public broadcasting, while ICE grows unchecked.

Progressive institutional funders are failing to meet this escalation. Instead of scaling nationwide offensive and defensive antifascist community infrastructure, they continue investing in endless “convenings” and “scenario-plannings” that leave frontline investigators under-protected, under‑paid, and burned out.

Money is continuously burned in a cycle of paying those who virtue-signal the hardest, without supporting the operations and operators necessary to actually bring the fight to the fascists.

This has been the perpetual challenge of my own nonprofit organizations, Task Force Butler Institute and Veterans Fighting Fascism. Our record speaks for itself: our research has facilitated the arrests, convictions, and multi-million-dollar judgements against the neo-Nazis who threaten vulnerable populations.

But our capacity to preempt violence, support survivors, and stabilize threat-research operations weakens every day.

This is not alarmism. As Foreign Affairs reported in 2023, the United States has become "the exemplar of far-right extremism." American-origin conspiracy theories and manifestos are turning up in violent attacks around the world—from New Zealand to Slovakia to Brazil. The so-called "great replacement" theory has entered mainstream discourse. Calls for accelerationist violence are now a fixture of far-right strategy. And American veterans—people trained and trusted by the state—are among the primary targets of fascist recruitment.

World White Hate pulls all of this into focus. It strips away the euphemisms and false equivalencies that usually accompany conversations about political violence in the U.S. It reveals the inner workings of fascist movements and the tactics of those of us organizing against them. It doesn’t ask viewers to remain neutral. It demands they choose a side.

After the 2024 election, director Dirk Laabs told me my interview "hit exactly the right points." I take no pride in that. I wish this film had already been rendered obsolete. But it hasn’t. The threats it depicts are accelerating, not fading.

Whether or not this documentary ever finds a distributor in the United States, one thing remains true: if you want to understand where we’re headed—and how to stop it—you need to watch this film. And you need to share it.

In this Ohio town, it was tradition: Latin mass, eggs and bacon at Bob
Evans, and then down to the old jailhouse to pardon a pedophile sex
trafficker. But now the woke mob wants to take all that way.
