Music Video Depicts Alt-Right Nazi Getting Beaten Up, Tortured – The Daily Caller

A music video released Wednesday depicts an alt-right Nazi getting beaten up and tortured, with the vocalist shouting you just got knocked the fuck out and calling President Donald Trump racist.

The action and comments appeared in metal band Stray From The Paths music video Goodnight Alt-right, which portrays a man who owns a poster of Adolf Hitler and watches alt-right leader Richard Spencer getting savaged by two other men resembling antifascist protesters.

Speech is free but it comes with a price and if youre speaking out some bullshit Ill give you advice, shouts vocalist Drew York during one segment of the song. Hit em with a left, a left and a right. Got em dropping like flies with the stars in their eyes.

WATCH:

You just got knocked the fuck out. The punishment fits the crime, York says in the chorus. So keep your hand held high and youll find out why that this raised fist aint afraid to fly.

Sumerian Records, a metal record label, published the video to YouTube during a year fraught with violence from antifascistprotesters against Trump supporters. (RELATED: Antifa And Trump Supporters Battle At Berkeley)

How Breitbart Fell Back in Love With Alt-Right Troll Milo Yiannopolous – Daily Beast

For anyone whod cherished the impossible dream that Milo Yiannopoulos would suffer for his sins, his triumphant resurrection in recent days must come as an irksome and chasteningspectacle.

It turns out that even Yiannopouloss most hateful outragesbursts of racism, misogyny, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism and self-loathing homophobia, delivered with campy performance skills, preening contempt and a posh English accentare irresistible catnip to the media-political complex.

Even Bill Maherwho absorbed a raft of criticism for his kid-glove treatment of Yiannopoulos during his Feb. 17 appearance on Mahers Real Time HBO showis courting the alt-rights most notorious troll for a return engagement.

Yet a few days after Yiannopouloss lovefest with Maher five months ago, it all came crashing down. He was forced to resign in disgrace from his nominal technology editor job at Breitbart News, lost a $255,000 book deal, and was disinvited from a prominent speaking role at the Conservative Political Action Conferenceall for defending the criminal practice of pedophilia on an all but forgotten podcast.

But now, after an indecent interval, Yiannopoulos is back with a vengeance. (After agreeing toand then decliningan interview request, then offering to respond to written questions through his personal publicist, he provided no comment for this story.)

The right is now willing to embrace and celebrate anybody whos willing to back Trump, and Milos a hateful, stupid, British, pederasty-loving version of Ann Coulter, said a former Breitbart staffer who asked not to be named so as not to become a target of Milos army of Twitter trolls and Facebook trolls.

The difference is that Ann uses shock value in pursuit of substance, and for Milo, its shock value in pursuit of Milo, this staffer said.

Now Yiannopoulos is busily promoting Dangerous, a memoir-meets-manifesto that he self-published on Amazon, where it has reportedly sold 100,000 copiesin pre-publication orders after Simon & Schusters conservative Threshold Editions imprint canceled it amid the pedophilia controversy.

Yiannopoulos filed a $10 million lawsuit last Friday against the CBS-owned publisher, which called the suit "publicity driven and entirely without merit."

Meanwhile, his recently formed and mysteriously funded live entertainment company, Milo Inc., has spent lavishly on advertising, including a huge billboard in Manhattans Times Square neighborhood and on Facebook.

The Washington, D.C., Metro authorities removed the Dangerous ads from the underground stations after protests from offended commuters.

Milo Inc. also financed a garish New York book party July 6 that featured frolicking, g-stringed strippers shedding head-to-toe black burkas, yarmulke-wearing dancing midgets sporting Ben Shapiro nametags (a symbolic assault on one of Yiannopouloss more vehement conservative antagonists, a display dubbed anti-Semitic by CNN anchor Jake Tapper), lusty chants of Fuck CNN! from the millennial wingnut partygoers, and a smugly grinning guest appearance by avaricious pharma exec Martin Shkreli, currently on trial on federal charges of securities fraud.

Milo Inc. is widely believed in conservative circles to have been bankrolledto the tune of $12 million, Yiannopoulus has claimedby the right-wing billionaire Mercer family (a major backer of Breitbart).

While he refuses to identify his financial angels, a story Thursday in Buzzfeed relies on leaked internal documents to identify computer tycoon Bob Mercer and his daughter Rebekah as Yiannopolouss sugar daddies.

Rebekah Mercer loves Milo, the story quotes a source familiar with both Yiannopoulos and the Mercers. They always stood behind him, and their support never wavered.

Notably, Yiannopoulos has also been restored to the warm embrace of the Donald Trump-loving, angry-populist Breitbart News, whose editor-in-chief, Alexander Marlow, was at pains to call his pedophilia endorsementwhen it emerged last February indefensible, upsetting, appalling, and troubling.

In recent days, Breitbart has not only featured a lengthy excerpt of Dangerousfrom a chapter titled Why Muslims Hate Mebut the website has also covered the twists and turns of Yiannapolouss glorious book tour with a celebratory diligence normally reserved for the achievements of the Trump White House.

Whats more, Marlow devoted the July 5 installment of Breitbart Daily, the radio show he hosts on SiriusXM, to a sycophantic chat with his once-shamed former employee.

Youre one of the true iconoclasts out here, Marlow gushed, humorously dubbing Yiannopoulos a fabulous supervillain.

He never left the good graces of Breitbart, said former Breitbart writer Lee Stranahan, who quit the web site in March in a bitter dispute with Marlow, and was among half a dozen employees who voiced repulsion at Yiannopouloss comments.

Several Breitbart employees had reportedly threatened to quit if Yiannopoulos remained. Like a lot of stuff associated with Milo, Stranahan said, his resignation was a publicity stunt.

Stranahan, the father of six, added: As a person whos got a lot of kids and teenagers, its not cool.

During his April 2016 sit-down with Drunken Peasants podcaster Joe Rogana video surfaced by a right-leaning group after Yiannopoulos was invited by CPACs Matt Schlapp to speak at the prestigious conclaveBreitbarts then-tech editor had praised the personal discovery value of underage sex between boys and men.

When I was 14, trust me, I was the predator, he claimed, describing his own sexual initiation by a Catholic priest. "I'm grateful for Father Michael," he added. "I wouldn't give nearly such good head if it wasn't for him."

At his Feb. 21 press conference as the scandal was exploding, Yiannopolous offered a half-hearted apology, claiming that he had been a childhood victim of sexual abuse and he was disgusted and horrified by pedophilia. But even as he tried to undo the damage, he couldnt resist adding that child molestation is simply not the worst thing that has ever happened. To go bankrupt is worse.

Marlow didnt respond to an email from the Daily Beast, but Breitbart spokesperson Chad Wilkinson said: Alex accepted Milos resignation but they remained friendsmeeting for lunch last month in Los Angeles when Marlow made his own appearance on Bill Mahers show.

Alex was critical of Milo. He said so. He was very vocal about it, Wilkinson addednotwithstanding that Marlow, in the same breath,had extravagantly praised Yiannopolouss contribution to Breitbart.Milo resigned for his own reasons. And it probably made sense for Milo to separate from the company. His brand is becoming bigger and bigger, so it worked out very well, and we wish him nothing but the best of luck.

As for Yiannopouloss sudden omnipresence on Breitbart, Milo Inc. did a very big advertising buy, Wilkinson said, declining to specify the dollar amount.Were going to take the money. Were going to take the money from pretty much anybody. And Milo continues to be newsworthy, so well cover him. Hes being interviewed all over the placeI dont think hes getting any special treatment.

Wilkinson, meanwhile, tried to dismiss a recent report by Buzzfeedbased largely on internal emails and other documentsthat Marlow had helped his disgraced former employee launch his private company and was designated to receive a $60,000 fee and the title of editorial director.

Alex is not an employee and doesnt work for him, Wilkinson said, calling a spread sheet containing Marlows prospective title and compensation Milos wish list. (Yiannapoulos once infamously referred to media reporter Joe Bernstein, the author of the Buzzfeed story, as a a typical example of a sort of thick-as-pig shit media Jew.

My understanding is there was a deal in place to promote his book when he left, said the former Breitbart staffer. They would have kept him onbut it got a little too hot.

Trump’s defense of Western civilization is not alt-right – American Enterprise Institute

The president heaped praise on Poland as a country at the center of European civilization and warned that our shared Western civilization is threatened by totalitarian forces in the world who seek ... to further their barbarous assault on the human spirit. He called on the West to defend the great civilized ideas: individual liberty, representative government, and the rule of law under God and criticized the shyness of some of us in the West about standing for these ideals.

President Donald Trump gives a public speech at Krasinski Square in Warsaw, Poland July 6, 2017. Reuters

The president in question was not Donald Trump, whose recent speech in Warsaw calling on the West to summon the courage and the will to defend our civilization has drawn irrational criticism here at home. It was Ronald Reagan, in his famous 1982 Westminster address promising to leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash-heap of history.

In fact, Trumps words could have been delivered by almost any American president of either party in the past century. They could have been delivered by Harry S. Truman, who in 1952 praised the United States for saving Western civilization from enslavement by a godless creed. They could have been spoken by John F. Kennedy, who in a 1963 speech in West Germany spoke of preserving Western culture, and Western religion, and Western civilization and defending our common heritage from those who would divide and destroy it. They could have been uttered by Lyndon B. Johnson, who warned in 1966 of ideologies ... that threaten the very roots of our common Western civilization. They could have been spoken by Bill Clinton, who declared in 1994 his belief that Western civilization was the greatest of all, and America was the best expression of Western civilization because of its commitment to ... the belief that the future could be better than the present and that we have an obligation to make it so.

Never mind all that, according to Sarah Wildman of Vox, Trumps call to defend Western civilization sounded like an alt-right manifesto, as the headline on her article described it. In the Atlantic, Peter Beinart complained that Trump referred 10 times to the West and five times to our civilization and that his white nationalist supporters will understand exactly what he means because the West is a racial and religious term.

No, it isnt. Quite the opposite, Western civilization is founded on ideas that transcend race and religion. As Yale historian Donald Kagan put it: Americans do not share a common ancestry and a common blood. What they have in common is a system of laws and beliefs that shaped the establishment of the country, a system developed within the context of Western civilization. He added that every student should study the philosophical, scientific, agricultural and industrial revolutions in the West which allowed human beings to produce and multiply the things needed for life so as to make survival and prosperity possible for ever-increasing numbers and gave birth to the theory and practice of the separation of church from state, protecting each from the other, and creating a free and safe place for the individual conscience.

These ideals are described as Western not because they are exclusive to the West, but because of the historical fact that they emanated from the West: the first democracy in Greece under Pericles (which predated Christianity by more than four centuries); to the principles enshrined in Magna Carta; the works of the Renaissance humanists; and the treatises of Enlightenment philosophers that inspired the authors of our Declaration of Independence.

Western values are universal values, and Trump affirmed their universality in Warsaw, declaring that we value the dignity of every human life, protect the rights of every person, and share the hope of every soul to live in freedom.

Since the 1980s, the left has been on a tireless crusade to drum the study of Western civilization out of universities in the name of fighting Eurocentrism. Now, apparently, they want to drum Western values out of presidential rhetoric. We must not let them do so.

Trump has said many objectionable things, but his eloquent defense of Western civilization in Warsaw was not one of them. It is ironic. The left likes to paint Trump as a threat to democracy. But the real threat to democracy is when the leader of the free world can no longer defend the ideals of the West which, Reagan told us, have done so much to ease the plight of man and the hardships of our imperfect world without being accused of bigotry.

James O’Brien: The "Evil" Reason The Alt-Right Has Exploited … – LBC – LBC

The 'Evil' Reason The Alt-Right Has Exploited Charlie Gard

00:01:14

James O'Brien has cracked why the alt-right have been exploiting Charlie Gard - and he says it's one of the most "borderline evil" things he's seen politicians do.

Donald Trump and Nigel Farage have both spoken of how Charlie Gard should be allowed to travel to the US for an experiemental treatment, against the advice of his doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

James had been wondering why they had taken up the cause of the 10-month-old critically-ill boy quite so much.

And then an interview with US Vice-President Mike Pence made it all slot into place.

Speaking on his LBC show, James said: "The tragic story, the horrible, horrible pain being endured by Charlie Gard's family, I've found it a little odd and coulnd't understand why some of the alt-right politicians and pundits on both sides of the Atlantic have been so keen to exploit that poor family's pain.

"And now I know.

"Because Mike Pence, the Vice-President of America, was on the radio yesterday trying to use the case of Charlie Gard as a rationale for changing American healthcare policy.

"It's one of the most cynical and borderline evil interventions I've ever seen taken by a politician, to take the life of that poor little child and try to use it to make points about Obamacare or single-payer sources.

"For them, it plays into a much broader narrative of of privatised healthcare."

Alt-Right Claims Net Neutrality Promotes ‘Satanic Porn’ in Planted … – Daily Beast

An alt-right troll and Pizzagate conspiracy theorist was caught Wednesday handing out flyers thanking Democratic Senators for protecting our quality violent porn content, including ritual Satanic porn videos.

Jack Posobiec, who made national headlines last month for interrupting a performance of Julius Caesar in Central Park because he believed the 418-year-old play had anti-Trump undertones, distributed the flyers at a Net Neutrality Day of Action demonstration outside the U.S. Senate, according to attendees.

This isnt the first time Posobiec has been caught handing out fake fliers: he planted a sign reading Rape Melania to frame anti-Trump protesters in November. His involvement with the sign wasnt revealed until January.

The flyer claims to be written on behalf of the organizers of the Womens March, open internet nonprofit Fight for the Future, along with the porn sites RedTube and PornHub. All of these organizations and companies supported Wednesdays Net Neutrality Day of Action, which spawned rallies across the U.S.

We can confirm that neither this flyer nor this campaign has any association whatsoever with the Womens March, said a spokesperson for the Womens March

Trump administration-appointed FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai has recently taken steps to roll back net neutrality protections, which would allow internet service providers like Verizon and Comcast to artificially slow access to some websites in favor of their own.

Brian Tashman, a researcher at the ACLU who was working at the rally, first tracked down Posobiec under a tree after seeing several protesters discarding his flyers immediately after handing them out.

Someone, a tall guy with sunglasses and jacket, was passing out flyers, Tashman told The Daily Beast. Then I saw him there under a tree and I took a photo of him. I thought, This looks just like Jack Posobiec.

After Tashman confirmed with others that the person in his photo was the same man passing out flyers, he saw Posobiec trailing senators as they left the Senate.

He was following Senators and asking them, Why do you support this rally of Satanic porn? he said. Posobiec took a video of the encounters for his Twitter page.

Tashman then tweeted the picture of Posobiec, along with the sentence The same @JackPosobiec who planted the Rape Melania sign and disrupted Julius Caesar today tried to smear #NetNeutrality supporters. He was quickly blocked by Posobiec.

Posobiec denied that he was trying to represent Net Neutrality supporters to The Daily Beast, saying "I never once claimed anyone else made the flyers."

"No dirty tricks here," said Posobiec. "I in no way attempted to say that these flyers were made by anyone but myself."

When asked what the headers from the activist groups and internet porn companies were intended to communicate, Posobiec said it was "tongue-in-cheek" and that he wanted to "let the gathered media aware of the fact that Fight For The Future is standing with PornHub and Red Tube today."

"I also intended to raise awareness about the existence of this appalling material on these websites, such as videos of US Border Agents raping illegal Mexican immigrant women. As well as Satanic porn and snuff videos," he said.

My only intent was to show people who Fight For the Future was standing with - not attempt to say I was representing them

Posobiec came to prominence in part by peddling the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which falsely claimed a child sex ring run by Hillary Clinton and her campaign manager was operating in the basement of a pizza shop that has no basement. Posobiec and a friend videotaped themselves inside the pizzeria, where he videotaped a birthday party and was asked to leave.

In May, Posobiec received a one-day White House press credential for The Rebel Media, a Canadian far-right and pro-Trump outlet.

Tashman said he didnt speak to a person who believed the flyer was really created by someone supporting net neutrality.

It was obviously fake, he said. The people I spoke to, they all knew.

This post was updated with comments from Jack Posobiec.
