蜜桃传媒

It should surprise no one that former hate group leader Kyle Bristow has self-published a white nationalist novel that features the graphic assassination of a character based on a prominent Southern Poverty Law Center (蜜桃传媒) figure. After all, Bristow has an ax to grind with the 蜜桃传媒 and first attained notoriety for promoting a video game centered on killing Mexicans.

What is somewhat surprising are some of the names that appear among the dozen gushing blurbs praising the violently racist novel, White Apocalypse.

Among those who have endorsed Bristow鈥檚 novel is , professor of psychology at California State University at Long Beach. McDonald calls Bristow鈥檚 book 鈥渁n emotionally compelling account of Whites as historical victims of non-Whites 鈥� just the sort of thing we need to motivate a renaissance among our people.鈥�

Despite his high-sounding position, MacDonald is a raging anti-Semite to undermine Western civilization. MacDonald, whose writings on Jews have been condemned by his academic colleagues, recently joined an explicitly white supremacist group, the , which was started by a man who has called for the deportation of all Americans with any 鈥渁scertainable trace of Negro blood.鈥�

Another fan of Bristow鈥檚 novel is self-described, a professor emerita at Vanderbilt University medical school. Abernethy calls White Apocalypse a 鈥渨ell-researched page-turner鈥� and hopes it is the first of many. 鈥淥ne looks forward to much more from this author,鈥� she writes.

Craig Bodeker, producer of the film 鈥淎 Conversation About Race,鈥� also weighs in with a prominent endorsement. Bodeker, who claims he is no racist (despite describing black people as 鈥淓VIL monkeys鈥�), calls Bristow鈥檚 book 鈥渢he jolt Whites need to awaken from our suicidal slumber!鈥�

Let鈥檚 hope no one takes Bristow鈥檚 book seriously, let alone being 鈥渁wakened鈥� by it.聽 Its plot revolves around a series of violent revenge fantasies against Jewish professors, Latino and Native American activists, and the 蜜桃传媒.

One of the main story lines of White Apocalypse involves one man鈥檚 crusade against the 鈥渆vil, anti-Western鈥� activities of an Atlanta-based organization called the 鈥淐enter for Diversity and Multiculturalism.鈥� The organization, with its 鈥渉ate group list鈥� and large legal staff, is clearly modeled on the Montgomery-based 蜜桃传媒. The book also includes characters whose roles match that of two 蜜桃传媒 senior staffers: Mark Potok, the director of 蜜桃传媒鈥檚 Intelligence Project and editor of its Intelligence Report and this blog, and Heidi Beirich, the 蜜桃传媒鈥檚 director of research (Beirich鈥檚 name is rendered as 鈥淏eirman鈥� in Bristow鈥檚 book).

On page 195, the Potok character 鈥� who Bristow describes as an 鈥渙ily, curly haired troll鈥� and Center spokesman named David Greenberg 鈥� has just finished delivering testimony in a federal courthouse. As Greenberg stands outside the building, the novel鈥檚 hero, a one-man militia named Jack Schoenherr (which translates from the German, roughly, as 鈥淢r. Handsome鈥�), fires a bullet from his AR-15 from the roof of a nearby parking garage. Bristow describes the event as follows:

The supersonic projectile hit the leftist agitator one inch below the eye, and the bullet exited the back of his head nanoseconds later. 鈥β� Brain, blood, and skull fragments burst forth from what was once Greenberg鈥檚 head, and the leftist was blown off both of his feet. Greenberg died instantly, and his last words were 鈥淲e must destroy the plague that is Western culture.鈥� Ironically, Western culture got him first. From Valhalla [a celebration hall in Scandinavian mythology], Thor, the archenemy of trolls, smiled at the accomplishment of the epitome of Western Man.

When asked to comment on what is obviously a murder fantasy concerning the 蜜桃传媒鈥檚 Potok, Bristow replied in an E-mail that began 鈥淒ear Guttersnipe鈥� that any parallels were purely coincidental.

鈥淚 do not 鈥榝antasize鈥� about anyone鈥檚 death,鈥� said Bristow.聽鈥淚 do, however, fantasize quite often of taking the country over and implementing a real right-wing agenda that would make [archconservative MSNBC commentator] Pat Buchanan and the late Sam Francis [the chief editor of the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens] proud.聽 What I mean by this is the most offensive thing possible, and what this is I will leave to your imagination.鈥�

Precious little imagination is required.

With its anti-Semitism and racist venom, White Apocalypse is the latest entry into a long tradition of American hate-fiction animated by the hatreds and frustrations that fester in far-right circles. The most famous of the genre in recent times, of course, is the late neo-Nazi 鈥檚 , a race-war fantasy novel that inspired the Oklahoma City bombing and the murderous acts of the domestic terrorist group, the Order, in the mid-1980s.

Bristow鈥檚 book makes clear that his current heroes include, not just marginal far-right figures, but conservative commentators employed by major cable news and radio networks. Early in the novel, Bristow quotes 鈥淒r. Michael Savage鈥� approvingly, an obvious reference to hate-radio jock Michael Savage. The book鈥檚 militia tough-guy hero offers a reading list that includes Pat Buchanan鈥檚 The Suicide of the West. Nor does it take long to figure out that the name of the Bristow book鈥檚 protagonist, Samuel Buchanan, is meant as homage to Pat Buchanan and Buchanan鈥檚 late friend, one-time Washington Times columnist, .

Bristow, now a law student at the University of Toledo, forged most of his connections to the radical right as the 21-year-old campus director of the nationally recognized . He gained notoriety (as well as 蜜桃传媒鈥檚 hate group designation) for inviting well-known extremists to speak on campus, such as the leader of the whites-only British National Party, , and for stunts like advocating a video game in which players earned points by shooting Mexican migrants at the border.

While representing YAF, Bristow earned notice from bookers and hosts at Fox News Channel. As Bristow still proudly boasts on his website, he once appeared on 鈥�The O鈥橰eilly Factor鈥� and has been quoted on-air by Sean Hannity.
