The Feast Of Samhain
October is almost over. What does that mean? Cooler weather, Autumn, and of course, Halloween. But what are the origins of this semi-holiday? Halloween is one of the few holidays of completely White origin, relatively uncontaminated by other races and cultures.
Halloween is actually an abbreviation of a Catholic term: All Hallow's Eve. It precedes the Catholic Holy Day of All Saints Day. This is a day when practising Catholics are required to attend Mass. But the origins of Halloween go back many centuries before Christianity.
The day we observe as Halloween originated in the British Isles among the Celtic peoples. They called it the Feast Of Samhain (pronounced sow-WEN in Gaelic). Samhain was the Celtic ruler of the Underworld. On this night, Samhain would open the gates of the Underworld, and spirits, both good and evil would walk the Earth. It was a night of masques and balefires when anything was possible and nothing was quite as it seemed.
If people had to go out on this night, they wore masques so that if they encountered an evil spirit, it would think that they were one of them and leave them alone. Jack-O-Lanterns were carved and lit to frighten evil spirits away. However, interestingly enough, pumpkins were not used. The pumpkin is a New World vegetable, and the ancient Celts had no knowledge of them. Other gourd type vegetables such as turnips and squash were used.
They also lit balefires and would make sacrifices of animals, and sometimes humans to welcome the return of the dead. This they did by constructing a large, hollow wicker figure. This 'wicker man' (yes, just like the movie) was filled with fruits, vegetables, animals, and occasionally a human, then it was set on fire as an offering to Samhain.
As time passed, and pagan beliefs were replaced by Christian Doctrine, and many of the old Celtic traditions went the way of the dinosaur. Some were turned into days of pure amusement, such as Halloween. Now the masques are used by children to get candy from their neighbours, instead frightening evil spirits away. The same with Jack-O-Lanterns. Images of Samhain have been replaced by that of the Devil, witches, ghosts, and goblins. A few Christian denominations consider Halloween the Devil's day, and they take it very seriously. In reality, it is not Satanic, but a pagan festival which no one takes seriously any longer. It's a night of fun to be enjoyed by all. Happy Halloween everyone!

Some People Should Seek Help
In response to my post of yesterday, I was informed of a prominent National Socialist leader who experienced something like I did yesterday, except it was much more vile and disgusting. I will not use any names, nor will I describe the revolting thing that was done, but I know who the leader is, who the perpetrator is, and what was done. I just don't feel it's appropriate to give all the gory details, because that's not the purpose of this post.
The person who did this thing obviously has psychological problems. He really needs to seek professional help. Now I know many in our community see psychologists and psychiatrists as nothing but ZOGbots who want to brainwash people into what the government says is an acceptable way of thinking, and psych medications as a means of turning free thinkers into mental zombies. But here's the thing. Mental illness is a real thing. And there is more than just the sane, and the insane who belong in institutions. There are stages of mental illness in between the normal, and wackos in sanitariums.
One of the most common disorders, and one of the easiest to treat is called Bipolar Disorder. The following article from Wikipedia explains what it is, and how it can be treated. Moreover, it say that those who suffer from this illness can lead normal lives with the proper treatment.
Signs and symptoms
Bipolar disorder is a condition in which people experience abnormally elevated (manic or hypomanic) and, in many cases, abnormally depressed states for periods of time in a way that interferes with functioning. Bipolar disorder has been estimated to afflict more than 5 million Americans—about 1 out of every 45 adults.[4] It is equally prevalent in men and women and is found across all cultures and ethnic groups.[5] Not everyone's symptoms are the same, and there is no simple physiological test to confirm the disorder. Bipolar disorder can appear to be unipolar depression. Diagnosing bipolar disorder is often difficult, even for mental health professionals. What distinguishes bipolar disorder from unipolar depression is that the affected person experiences states of mania and depression. Often bipolar is inconsistent among patients because some people feel depressed more often than not and experience little mania whereas others experience predominantly manic symptoms.
Management
Main article: Treatment of bipolar disorder
There are a number of pharmacological and psychotherapeutic techniques used to treat Bipolar Disorder. Individuals may use self-help and pursue a personal recovery journey.
Hospitalization may be required especially with the manic episodes present in bipolar I. This can be voluntary or (if mental health legislation allows and varying state-to-state regulations in the USA) involuntary (called civil or involuntary commitment). Long-term inpatient stays are now less common due to deinstitutionalization, although can still occur.[97] Following (or in lieu of) a hospital admission, support services available can include drop-in centers, visits from members of a community mental health team or Assertive Community Treatment team, supported employment and patient-led support groups, intensive outpatient programs. These are sometimes referred to partial-inpatient programs.[98]
Psychosocial
Psychotherapy is aimed at alleviating core symptoms, recognizing episode triggers, reducing negative expressed emotion in relationships, recognizing prodromal symptoms before full-blown recurrence, and, practicing the factors that lead to maintenance of remission[99] Cognitive behavioural therapy, family-focused therapy, and psychoeducation have the most evidence for efficacy in regard to relapse prevention, while interpersonal and social rhythm therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy appear the most effective in regard to residual depressive symptoms. Most studies have been based only on bipolar I, however, and treatment during the acute phase can be a particular challenge.[100] Some clinicians emphasize the need to talk with individuals experiencing mania, to develop a therapeutic alliance in support of recovery.[101]
Medication
Sodium valproate is a common mood stabilizer
The mainstay of treatment is a mood stabilizer medication such as lithium carbonate or lamotrigine.[102][103] Lamotrigine has been found to be best for preventing depressions, while lithium is the only drug proven to reduce suicide in bipolar patients. These two drugs comprise several unrelated compounds which have been shown to be effective in preventing relapses of manic, or in the one case, depressive episodes. The first known and "gold standard" mood stabilizer is lithium,[104] while almost as widely used is sodium valproate,[105] also used as an anticonvulsant. Other anticonvulsants used in bipolar disorder include carbamazepine, reportedly more effective in rapid cycling bipolar disorder, and lamotrigine, which is the first anticonvulsant shown to be of benefit in bipolar depression.[106]
Treatment of the agitation in acute manic episodes has often required the use of antipsychotic medications, such as chlorpromazine and the atypical antipsychotics quetiapine and olanzapine. More recently, olanzapine and quetiapine have been approved as effective monotherapy for the maintenance of bipolar disorder.[107] A head-to-head randomized control trial in 2005 has also shown olanzapine monotherapy to be as effective and safe as lithium in prophylaxis.[108]
The use of antidepressants in bipolar disorder has been debated, with some studies reporting a worse outcome with their use triggering manic, hypomanic or mixed episodes, especially if no mood stabiliser is used. However, most mood stabilizers are of limited effectiveness in depressive episodes. Rapid cycling can be induced or made worse by antidepressants, unless there is adjunctive treatment with a mood stabilizer.[109][110] One large-scale study found that depression in bipolar disorder responds no better to an antidepressant with mood stabilizer than it does to a mood stabilizer alone.[111] Recent research indicates that triacetyluridine may potentially help improve symptoms of bipolar disorder.[112] Clinical studies have shown that Omega 3 fatty acids may have beneficial effects on bipolar disorder.[113][114][115]
Also, topiramate is an anticonvulsant often prescribed as a mood stabilizer. It is an off-label use when used to treat bipolar disorder. Unfortunately, its usefulness is likely minimal and side effects, such as significant cognitive impairment, undermine its efficacy (Kushner, et al. 2006 Bipolar Disorders 8; Chengappa, et al. 2006 J Clin Psych; 6).
When medication causes a reduction in symptoms or complete remission, it is important for someone with a bipolar disorder to understand they should continue to take the medicine. This can be complicated, as effective treatment may result in the reduction of manic symptoms and/or the medicine can be mood blunting or sedative, resulting in the person feeling they are stifled or that the medicine isn't working. Either way, relapse is likely to occur if the medicine is discontinued.
Prognosis
For many individuals with bipolar disorder a good prognosis results from good treatment, which, in turn, results from an accurate diagnosis. Because bipolar disorder can have a high rate of both under-diagnosis and misdiagnosis[citation needed], it is often difficult for individuals with the condition to receive timely and competent treatment.
Bipolar disorder can be a severely disabling medical condition. However, many individuals with bipolar disorder can live full and satisfying lives. Quite often, medication is needed to enable this. Persons with bipolar disorder may have periods of normal or near normal functioning between episodes.[116]
Ultimately one's prognosis depends on many factors, several of which are within the control of the individual. Such factors may include: the right medicines, with the right dose of each; comprehensive knowledge of the disease and its effects; a positive relationship with a competent medical doctor and therapist; and good physical health, which includes exercise, nutrition, and a regulated stress level.
There are obviously other factors that lead to a good prognosis as well, such as being very aware of small changes in one's energy, mood, sleep and eating behaviors, as well as having a plan in conjunction with one's doctor for how to manage subtle changes that might indicate the beginning of a mood swing. Some people find that keeping a log of their moods can assist them in predicting changes.[117]
If anyone reading this has many of the symptoms such as cronic irratibility, depression, over-excitement, heavy drinking, inability to keep a job, habitual violence, sleeping too much, inability to sleep, or any of the others described, you could be suffering from bipolar disorder.
Personally am leery of psychiatrists. However, your regular family doctor can prescribe any of the various medications used to control this condition. You many even be familiar with some of them: Prozac, Paxil, Depakote, Wellbuterin, and many others. I'm not a professional, but the only one that will turnyou into a mental zombie is Lithium. This should only be used when the condition is severe enough that institutionalisation is the only other alternative.
Back in the Sixties, the authorities tried to get Commander Rockwell committed on the grounds that anyone who is a Nazi has to be a nut and should be locked up. Nowadays, people cannot be institutionalised unless they are PROVEN to be a danger to themselves or others such as being arrested several times for violent offenses, or a suicide attempt. If any of you think you may be Bipolar, and have tried to commit suicide, do not under any circumstances admit it to a doctor. You can say you've thought about it, but never admit to trying it for obvious reasons.
Personally, I would try the self-help treatment. Most people don't need a headshrinker telling them they hate their mothers, so to speak. But medication may be necessary. It is nothing to be ashamed of. It's an illness every bit as real as diabetes or epilepsy. Talk to your regular doctor. Tell him you think you may need medication, but that you'd like to avoid severe mind altering drugs like Lithium. Ask him about the milder ones like Prozac. He can also provide medication to help you sleep if you need it, but usually once someone starts taking his psych meds regularly, the need for sleeping pills is usually unnecessary.
One of the biggest mistakes those who suffer from Bipolar Disorder make is they often stop taking their meds once they start feeling better. Never do this. It will cause a relapse. Bipolar Disorder cannot be cured at this time. It can only be controlled. Like a diabetic, you must take your medication as long as your doctor thinks it's necessary. It kind of sucks, but if you're depressed as hell one day, and the next day you're climbing the walls, if you're constantly getting into fights, or getting drunk on a daily basis, and you can't keep a job, is that a better way of life?
I'm not a doctor, but I believe the person I was talking about in the first two paragraphs is bipolar. A normal person wouldn't do something like that to someone just because he was angry at him. He should seek help
at once. Based upon the posts I've read on places like 'White Reference' and online forums, I know we've got many intelligent, well-balanced people in our movement. We also have many who are probably bipolar. For the good of themselves, their families, and our movement, I urge them to seek treatment as soon as possible.

Rapid cycling can be induced or made worse by antidepressants, unless there is adjunctive treatment with a mood stabilizer.[109][110] One large-scale study found that depression in bipolar disorder responds no better to an antidepressant with mood stabilizer than it does to a mood stabilizer alone.[111] Recent research indicates that triacetyluridine may potentially help improve symptoms of bipolar disorder.[112] Clinical studies have shown that Omega 3 fatty acids may have beneficial effects on bipolar disorder.[113][114][115]
Also, topiramate is an anticonvulsant often prescribed as a mood stabilizer. It is an off-label use when used to treat bipolar disorder. Unfortunately, its usefulness is likely minimal and side effects, such as significant cognitive impairment, undermine its efficacy (Kushner, et al. 2006 Bipolar Disorders 8; Chengappa, et al. 2006 J Clin Psych; 6).
When medication causes a reduction in symptoms or complete remission, it is important for someone with a bipolar disorder to understand they should continue to take the medicine. This can be complicated, as effective treatment may result in the reduction of manic symptoms and/or the medicine can be mood blunting or sedative, resulting in the person feeling they are stifled or that the medicine isn't working. Either way, relapse is likely to occur if the medicine is discontinued.
Prognosis
For many individuals with bipolar disorder a good prognosis results from good treatment, which, in turn, results from an accurate diagnosis. Because bipolar disorder can have a high rate of both under-diagnosis and misdiagnosis[citation needed], it is often difficult for individuals with the condition to receive timely and competent treatment.
Bipolar disorder can be a severely disabling medical condition. However, many individuals with bipolar disorder can live full and satisfying lives. Quite often, medication is needed to enable this. Persons with bipolar disorder may have periods of normal or near normal functioning between episodes.[116]
Ultimately one's prognosis depends on many factors, several of which are within the control of the individual. Such factors may include: the right medicines, with the right dose of each; comprehensive knowledge of the disease and its effects; a positive relationship with a competent medical doctor and therapist; and good physical health, which includes exercise, nutrition, and a regulated stress level.
There are obviously other factors that lead to a good prognosis as well, such as being very aware of small changes in one's energy, mood, sleep and eating behaviors, as well as having a plan in conjunction with one's doctor for how to manage subtle changes that might indicate the beginning of a mood swing. Some people find that keeping a log of their moods can assist them in predicting changes.[117]
If anyone reading this has many of the symptoms such as cronic irratibility, depression, over-excitement, heavy drinking, inability to keep a job, habitual violence, sleeping too much, inability to sleep, or any of the others described, you could be suffering from bipolar disorder.
Personally am leery of psychiatrists. However, your regular family doctor can prescribe any of the various medications used to control this condition. You many even be familiar with some of them: Prozac, Paxil, Depakote, Wellbuterin, and many others. I'm not a professional, but the only one that will turnyou into a mental zombie is Lithium. This should only be used when the condition is severe enough that institutionalisation is the only other alternative.
Back in the Sixties, the authorities tried to get Commander Rockwell committed on the grounds that anyone who is a Nazi has to be a nut and should be locked up. Nowadays, people cannot be institutionalised unless they are PROVEN to be a danger to themselves or others such as being arrested several times for violent offenses, or a suicide attempt. If any of you think you may be Bipolar, and have tried to commit suicide, do not under any circumstances admit it to a doctor. You can say you've thought about it, but never admit to trying it for obvious reasons.
Personally, I would try the self-help treatment. Most people don't need a headshrinker telling them they hate their mothers, so to speak. But medication may be necessary. It is nothing to be ashamed of. It's an illness every bit as real as diabetes or epilepsy. Talk to your regular doctor. Tell him you think you may need medication, but that you'd like to avoid severe mind altering drugs like Lithium. Ask him about the milder ones like Prozac. He can also provide medication to help you sleep if you need it, but usually once someone starts taking his psych meds regularly, the need for sleeping pills is usually unnecessary.
One of the biggest mistakes those who suffer from Bipolar Disorder make is they often stop taking their meds once they start feeling better. Never do this. It will cause a relapse. Bipolar Disorder cannot be cured at this time. It can only be controlled. Like a diabetic, you must take your medication as long as your doctor thinks it's necessary. It kind of sucks, but if you're depressed as hell one day, and the next day you're climbing the walls, if you're constantly getting into fights, or getting drunk on a daily basis, and you can't keep a job, is that a better way of life?
I'm not a doctor, but I believe the person I was talking about in the first two paragraphs is bipolar. A normal person wouldn't do something like that to someone just because he was angry at him. He should seek help
at once. Based upon the posts I've read on places like 'White Reference' and online forums, I know we've got many intelligent, well-balanced people in our movement. We also have many who are probably bipolar. For the good of themselves, their families, and our movement, I urge them to seek treatment as soon as possible.
The person who did this thing obviously has psychological problems. He really needs to seek professional help. Now I know many in our community see psychologists and psychiatrists as nothing but ZOGbots who want to brainwash people into what the government says is an acceptable way of thinking, and psych medications as a means of turning free thinkers into mental zombies. But here's the thing. Mental illness is a real thing. And there is more than just the sane, and the insane who belong in institutions. There are stages of mental illness in between the normal, and wackos in sanitariums.
One of the most common disorders, and one of the easiest to treat is called Bipolar Disorder. The following article from Wikipedia explains what it is, and how it can be treated. Moreover, it say that those who suffer from this illness can lead normal lives with the proper treatment.
Signs and symptoms
Bipolar disorder is a condition in which people experience abnormally elevated (manic or hypomanic) and, in many cases, abnormally depressed states for periods of time in a way that interferes with functioning. Bipolar disorder has been estimated to afflict more than 5 million Americans—about 1 out of every 45 adults.[4] It is equally prevalent in men and women and is found across all cultures and ethnic groups.[5] Not everyone's symptoms are the same, and there is no simple physiological test to confirm the disorder. Bipolar disorder can appear to be unipolar depression. Diagnosing bipolar disorder is often difficult, even for mental health professionals. What distinguishes bipolar disorder from unipolar depression is that the affected person experiences states of mania and depression. Often bipolar is inconsistent among patients because some people feel depressed more often than not and experience little mania whereas others experience predominantly manic symptoms.
Management
Main article: Treatment of bipolar disorder
There are a number of pharmacological and psychotherapeutic techniques used to treat Bipolar Disorder. Individuals may use self-help and pursue a personal recovery journey.
Hospitalization may be required especially with the manic episodes present in bipolar I. This can be voluntary or (if mental health legislation allows and varying state-to-state regulations in the USA) involuntary (called civil or involuntary commitment). Long-term inpatient stays are now less common due to deinstitutionalization, although can still occur.[97] Following (or in lieu of) a hospital admission, support services available can include drop-in centers, visits from members of a community mental health team or Assertive Community Treatment team, supported employment and patient-led support groups, intensive outpatient programs. These are sometimes referred to partial-inpatient programs.[98]
Psychosocial
Psychotherapy is aimed at alleviating core symptoms, recognizing episode triggers, reducing negative expressed emotion in relationships, recognizing prodromal symptoms before full-blown recurrence, and, practicing the factors that lead to maintenance of remission[99] Cognitive behavioural therapy, family-focused therapy, and psychoeducation have the most evidence for efficacy in regard to relapse prevention, while interpersonal and social rhythm therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy appear the most effective in regard to residual depressive symptoms. Most studies have been based only on bipolar I, however, and treatment during the acute phase can be a particular challenge.[100] Some clinicians emphasize the need to talk with individuals experiencing mania, to develop a therapeutic alliance in support of recovery.[101]
Medication
Sodium valproate is a common mood stabilizer
The mainstay of treatment is a mood stabilizer medication such as lithium carbonate or lamotrigine.[102][103] Lamotrigine has been found to be best for preventing depressions, while lithium is the only drug proven to reduce suicide in bipolar patients. These two drugs comprise several unrelated compounds which have been shown to be effective in preventing relapses of manic, or in the one case, depressive episodes. The first known and "gold standard" mood stabilizer is lithium,[104] while almost as widely used is sodium valproate,[105] also used as an anticonvulsant. Other anticonvulsants used in bipolar disorder include carbamazepine, reportedly more effective in rapid cycling bipolar disorder, and lamotrigine, which is the first anticonvulsant shown to be of benefit in bipolar depression.[106]
Treatment of the agitation in acute manic episodes has often required the use of antipsychotic medications, such as chlorpromazine and the atypical antipsychotics quetiapine and olanzapine. More recently, olanzapine and quetiapine have been approved as effective monotherapy for the maintenance of bipolar disorder.[107] A head-to-head randomized control trial in 2005 has also shown olanzapine monotherapy to be as effective and safe as lithium in prophylaxis.[108]
The use of antidepressants in bipolar disorder has been debated, with some studies reporting a worse outcome with their use triggering manic, hypomanic or mixed episodes, especially if no mood stabiliser is used. However, most mood stabilizers are of limited effectiveness in depressive episodes. Rapid cycling can be induced or made worse by antidepressants, unless there is adjunctive treatment with a mood stabilizer.[109][110] One large-scale study found that depression in bipolar disorder responds no better to an antidepressant with mood stabilizer than it does to a mood stabilizer alone.[111] Recent research indicates that triacetyluridine may potentially help improve symptoms of bipolar disorder.[112] Clinical studies have shown that Omega 3 fatty acids may have beneficial effects on bipolar disorder.[113][114][115]
Also, topiramate is an anticonvulsant often prescribed as a mood stabilizer. It is an off-label use when used to treat bipolar disorder. Unfortunately, its usefulness is likely minimal and side effects, such as significant cognitive impairment, undermine its efficacy (Kushner, et al. 2006 Bipolar Disorders 8; Chengappa, et al. 2006 J Clin Psych; 6).

Some People Are Just Pathetic
Something happened today. I'm sure Taylor Bowles wouldn't even dignify this turd with a response, and maybe I shouldn't either, but he's just such a sad case, I decided I would mention this incident.
Today, I was doing a job for my largest client. Since they are only a half a mile away, I can come home for lunch which is nice. So I'm eating and watching a DVD, and I get a picture message on my cell phone. I look at it, and it's a picture of a disgusting looking nude White male from the waist down with an erection. Extremely gross.
Who would do such a perverted thing? My cell number is unlisted, and I'm very careful as to who I give it to. My conclusion, it had to be somebody I know. Since I have not set my phone to refuse to take calls from unlisted numbers, I don't know who sent it, but it has to be someone I know. Why would someone do this? It's obvious. Someone is angry at me, most probably for resigning from the ANSP. I will not accuse anyone in particular, because I have no proof. It might not even have been anyone from ANSP. It could've been an ANTIFA who somehow got a hold of my number, or it could even have been a wrong number. Who can say?
But whoever did this, it was a very sad and pathetic thing to do. If the person responsible ever reads this, I'd like to suggest that you ask yourself what kind of a person does a repugnant act like this make you? Can anyone who would do something like this call himself a person of good character? I say no. You are a person of very low character and morals. Indeed, not only was this revolting, but it was very childish. Your motives are irrelevant. Perhaps you consider me a traitor and this was a form of retaliation. I resigned from ANSP, I did not betray it. Being a member of a NS group is not like being in the Mafia where you're in for life, and if you try and leave you're a traitor and are treated accordingly. Whatever WN or NS group you're in, it's acceptable to leave without being a traitor - at least as far as I'm concerned.
The person who did this really should take a good look at himself. His character definitely needs some improvement, or at the very least, he needs to do some growing up.
When the general public gets wind of things like this, it only serves to reinforce the image of how the media portrays us: People of limited mentality and questionable character. For the sake of the movement, let's not be behaving like a bunch of petulant high school kids and act our ages.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
Today is the six month's anniversary of my blog going up. As you can see from the counter, I am approaching my 7,000th hit. It's all thanks to everyone of you who comes here every day or every week and reads what I have to say that has made this blog a success. It's good to know I'm not the only one who reads my writing. People are even starting to leave comments, and I thankyou for that as well. Unfortunately, it's also read by ZOG and the press, but you can't have everything!
Now I realise that the success of this blog is nothing compared to White Reference, or Taylor Bowles' blog. But on the other hand, they have been up a lot longer than mine. Anything that helps our movement is a good thing, and I wish them both continued success.
Once again, thanks everyone!
BTW, here's a little teaser. I have a big announcement next week. When you read it, some of you will go, "No way!" Others will say, "I guess you're not as big an asshole as I thought." Still others will say, "It took you long enough!" What is this announcement? You'll have to check back on Nov. 2, or Nov. 3. I haven't decided which day to release this news because of the elections. There may be more important things to report on the second, so I may wait until the third. We'll see.

California's Proposition 25
Comrades, this has got to be my favourite of all the propositions on the ballot this November.
Proposition 25 states that all pay and benefits to politicians will be stopped if they fail to bring in a balanced budget ON TIME!
California's annual budget is always late. It's now expected by the people. The biggest problem with this are the state employees. I'm not talking about the big fat-cat political appointees. I'm talking about the workers like in the road department, the clerks at the Motor Vehicle Department and courthouses. Corrections Officers, State Troopers, and all the little people who work for the state. When the budget is late, by law, these workers cannot be paid. They are issued vouchers instead. Sure, they'll get their money after the budget is completed. But what do they do in the meantime?
Under California law, state employees cannot be evicted from their apartments or rental houses by paying their rent with vouchers. Banks cannot foreclose on home owners for paying with vouchers. Utilities must accept the vouchers. But what about the rest? Credit card payments. Car payments. Groceries, gasoline, car repairs, clothing, children's expenses. All of these things are not covered by law. How do state employees pay for these things? With their savings? Many people have little or no savings. What are they supposed to do? Since many a year the budget is several weeks late, they're just plain screwed.
Proposition 25 holds lawmakers accountable for their actions or inactions regarding the budget. No budget, no pay or benefits. And they don't get back pay later when they complete the budget. They lose all compensation while the budget is late permanently.
Now I realise most politicians are wealthy, and it wouldn't harm them financially to lose a few weeks pay. However, it will annoy them to have to work for free. Most of us won't work for free, but they'll have no choice until they do their jobs properly. Besides, not all of them are wealthy. There are some who depend on their pay for self-support. These few will be more willing to work with members of the opposing party than they normally would be. This means more lawmakers who would be willing to compromise than there used to be. With these people pressuring the wealthy to compromise ("Hey, I'm not rich like you, I need my paycheck. Let's get this damn thing done!"), perhaps they'll get off their asses, put their party's agenda aside, and actually start to work for the people.
It won't fix everything - not even the majority of things straight away, but it's a start.

Most of us won't work for free, but they'll have no choice until they do their jobs properly. Besides, not all of them are wealthy. There are some who depend on their pay for self-support. These few will be more willing to work with members of the opposing party than they normally would be. This means more lawmakers who would be willing to compromise than there used to be. With these people pressuring the wealthy to compromise ("Hey, I'm not rich like you, I need my paycheck. Let's get this damn thing done!"), perhaps they'll get off their asses, put their party's agenda aside, and actually start to work for the people.
It won't fix everything - not even the majority of things straight away, but it's a start.
California's Proposition 25
Comrades, this has got to be my favourite of all the propositions on the ballot this November.
Proposition 25 states that all pay and benefits to politicians will be stopped if they fail to bring in a balanced budget ON TIME!
California's annual budget is always late. It's now expected by the people. The biggest problem with this are the state employees. I'm not talking about the big fat-cat political appointees. I'm talking about the workers like in the road department, the clerks at the Motor Vehicle Department and courthouses. Corrections Officers, State Troopers, and all the little people who work for the state. When the budget is late, by law, these workers cannot be paid. They are issued vouchers instead. Sure, they'll get their money after the budget is completed. But what do they do in the meantime?
Under California law, state employees cannot be evicted from their apartments or rental houses by paying their rent with vouchers. Banks cannot foreclose on home owners for paying with vouchers. Utilities must accept the vouchers. But what about the rest? Credit card payments. Car payments. Groceries, gasoline, car repairs, clothing, children's expenses. All of these things are not covered by law. How do state employees pay for these things? With their savings? Many people have little or no savings. What are they supposed to do? Since many a year the budget is several weeks late, they're just plain screwed.

Election Day
Well, the great tragic-comedy that plays in the United States every two years is back again. It's election time in America. Did I say tragic-comedy? Perhaps I should have said "Theatre Of The Absurd."
Every two years, not counting special elections, career politicians come out of their offices, senate chambers, governor's mansion, and of course the White House (although not this year of course) and lie to the people.
They promise this will get done and that will get done, and as usual, nothing ever happens - at least not to improve the lives of American workers, and most especially the White Workers. Indeed, things constantly deteriorate.
Here in California, we have a very important senatorial race. The two candidates are Republican Carly Fiorina, and 28 year incumbent, Democrap Barbara Boxer. So who's the better choice? If you ask me, it's neither. As a wise man once said, "Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil." Let's examine them. I don't need to elaborate on 72 year old Boxer. Her record of liberalism and Obamaism is well known. You may not know who the senators from New Hampshire are, but most people know who Boxer is.
Her opponent is Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlitt-Packard. She has quite an impressive track record. She went from a secretary to CEO over the years. This is what makes her actions towards the workers even more unconscionable than someone who was born wealthy. She used to be of the White Working class. Yet she laid off thousands of her employees, and outsourced their jobs to China. That same year she rewarded herself with a 300% raise, and a new yacht. Absolutely reprehensible. Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on her. After all, she works hard. She deserves a little raise, right? When have any of you had your pay tripled in one year? Not me. I don't know anyone else who has either.
Do you think Fiorina is going to work in the best interests of the people? Damn right she won't. She's going to work in the interests of other Judeo-Capitalists such as herself. Now she might say that what's good for big business is good for America. Ordinarily she might have a point. But all big business will do is to continue to outsource our jobs to Turd World Countries and increase their profits.
The California Governor's race is no better. We have liberal Democrap Jerry Brown, who has already served a term as California governor. He bankrupted the state with his overspending. Now, the sheeple of California seem willing to give him another chance just because California is a Democrap majority state, and everyone is mad at AHnold for doing so bad a job.
How about hypocrite Meg Whitman? She says she will fight against illegal immigration, yet she hired an illegal as her housekeeper. She claims she didn't know. This Mestizo girl worked for her for years. Whitman knew. She hired her as a source of cheap, exploitable labour. If elected, she'll do little about the illegal problem. She and her sort want them here so they can hire them instead of American citizens and pay them slave wages.
The candidates are a joke. As far as I'm concerned, they are wasting my time.
On the other hand, there will be many propositions on the ballots. These are not a waste of time. For example, here in California, we have one propostion that if passed, will stop the paychecks of all politicians until they can agree on the annual budget, which is late every year without fail.
There is also one that will prevent state leaders from using state funds to pay for things that they were never intended. For example, it is common for the state to "borrow" from the education fund, to pay for expensive social programs. If passed, they will no longer be able to do this.
One of my favourites is the one that would strictly define what a tax is, to keep our leaders from misslabelling taxes as fees. What does that matter? Well, if the state wants to impose a new tax on us, they need a two thirds majority vote. A new fee only requires 50% plus one vote to pass. The state loves to levy new taxes on us by calling them "fees". The people of California can stop this on Nov. 2.
There is one that would legalise Marijuana. This one must be defeated. The legalisation of pot is just the first step towards the legalisation of all drugs.
For those of you who say these propositions are meaningless, let me remind you that California has term limits because of a proposition. Because of Prop. 8, Gay marriage is still against the law - for the time being at least. There are many other examples, but I won't list them all.
I normally don't waste my time voting for these lying, hypocrital weasels called professional politicians. They all help support an evil, corrupt system that does nothing except to continue to widen the gap between the rich and the poor. I usually put in a write-in candidate as a gesture of contempt. In 2008, I voted Homer Simpson for president. But the propositions are a different matter. It's our chance to let the politicians know that we're fed up and not going to let them get away with ripping us off any longer.
If you are registed to vote, I urge you to get out to the polls on Nov. 2 and through the various propositions of your state, let these vipers know we're not letting them get away with their crapola any longer. If you're not registered, do so by Nov. of 2012. You can vote for Peter Griffin for president for all it matters, but you need to research the various propositions, and make your voice heard.

Another European Politician Steps Down After Failing To Toe The Line On WW2
In Poland, she remains Germany's most hated living politician. Her unashamedly revanchist political views once prompted a Warsaw news magazine to portray her on its front cover clad in a sinister, swastika-covered Nazi SS uniform.
But yesterday, Erika Steinbach, probably the last surviving bête noire in Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative government, took the first step towards bowing out of politics altogether after she started an explosive row over who was to blame for starting the Second World War.
Mrs Steinbach, 67, announced her formal departure from the leadership of Ms Merkel's Christian Democratic Party after enraging Germany's Central Council of Jews by inferring that Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939 was merely a response to Poland's military mobilisation earlier that year.
"I am beginning to get the impression that you can't say what you want in Germany any more, even if one is talking about facts," is how the veteran right-winger responded to criticism from within her own party and its liberal coalition partners about her remarks. A Polish government spokesman said her comments were identical to " Nazi propaganda".
Historians hastened to point out that Poland's mobilisation in early 1939 was a response to the Nazi regime's massive rearmament programme. But Mrs Steinbach maintained she had made her remarks to support her own organisation, Germany's two-million member Expellees' Association, which represents the estimated 12.5 million Germans who were forced out of eastern Europe after 1945.

Comment:
It's a shame. We need more honest politicians like her. Most politicians are more than willing to cow-tow to Israel, and the Jews in general, especially on World War II. We all know the Holohoax is a fraud, but even if, and I say if it happened, that was 65 years ago. Even if it were true, how long is the Aryan Race supposed to pay for it? I wasn't even born then. My folks were young children and had nothing to say about it. As far as the Jews are concerned, we're all guilty, and the sentence is life without parole.
Comrades, it's time we stopped letting the Jews milk this Holohoax nonsense for all they can get. For example, I.G. Farben, the German company that produced Zyklon B, and used Jews as slave labour was sued for reparations after the war. They were found guilty of course. In order to pay the judgement, they had to sell all of their subsidiaries. One of these companies was Bayer Aspirin. Back in the 90's, a group of Holohoax "Survivors" decided to sue Bayer for more reparations. Fortunately, the courts were reasonable and fair on this occasion. The suit was denied, on the grounds that the current owners bought the company from I.G. Farben and were not the owners during World War II. By the Jew's reasoning, I could have bought a car from a man who, while driving said car, ran down and crippled someone. That person sued the man who injured him, and won. The man sold his car to help pay the judgement. Then he tries to get even more money by suing me, on the grounds that I own the car that injured him. Absolutely ridiculous. Well, that's what those Jews tried to do to the current owners of Bayer. At least right triumphed this time and their suit was denied.
But anyway, it's time we said to the Jews, "NO MORE GUILT!" The Holohoax is a lie. And like I said, even if it did happen, it was 65 years ago. We didn't do anything, therefore we owe them NOTHING!

But anyway, it's time we said to the Jews, "NO MORE GUILT!" The Holohoax is a lie. And like I said, even if it did happen, it was 65 years ago. We didn't do anything, therefore we owe them NOTHING!
Another European Politician Steps Down After Failing To Toe The Line On WW2
In Poland, she remains Germany's most hated living politician. Her unashamedly revanchist political views once prompted a Warsaw news magazine to portray her on its front cover clad in a sinister, swastika-covered Nazi SS uniform.
But yesterday, Erika Steinbach, probably the last surviving bête noire in Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative government, took the first step towards bowing out of politics altogether after she started an explosive row over who was to blame for starting the Second World War.
Mrs Steinbach, 67, announced her formal departure from the leadership of Ms Merkel's Christian Democratic Party after enraging Germany's Central Council of Jews by inferring that Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939 was merely a response to Poland's military mobilisation earlier that year.
"I am beginning to get the impression that you can't say what you want in Germany any more, even if one is talking about facts," is how the veteran right-winger responded to criticism from within her own party and its liberal coalition partners about her remarks. A Polish government spokesman said her comments were identical to " Nazi propaganda".
Historians hastened to point out that Poland's mobilisation in early 1939 was a response to the Nazi regime's massive rearmament programme. But Mrs Steinbach maintained she had made her remarks to support her own organisation, Germany's two-million member Expellees' Association, which represents the estimated 12.5 million Germans who were forced out of eastern Europe after 1945.

Comment:
It's a shame. We need more honest politicians like her. Most politicians are more than willing to cow-tow to Israel, and the Jews in general, especially on World War II. We all know the Holohoax is a fraud, but even if, and I say if it happened, that was 65 years ago. Even if it were true, how long is the Aryan Race supposed to pay for it? I wasn't even born then. My folks were young children and had nothing to say about it. As far as the Jews are concerned, we're all guilty, and the sentence is life without parole.
Comrades, it's time we stopped letting the Jews milk this Holohoax nonsense for all they can get. For example, I.G. Farben, the German company that produced Zyklon B, and used Jews as slave labour was sued for reparations after the war. They were found guilty of course. In order to pay the judgement, they had to sell all of their subsidiaries. One of these companies was Bayer Aspirin. Back in the 90's, a group of Holohoax "Survivors" decided to sue Bayer for more reparations. Fortunately, the courts were reasonable and fair on this occasion. The suit was denied, on the grounds that the current owners bought the company from I.G. Farben and were not the owners during World War II. By the Jew's reasoning, I could have bought a car from a man who, while driving said car, ran down and crippled someone. That person sued the man who injured him, and won. The man sold his car to help pay the judgement. Then he tries to get even more money by suing me, on the grounds that I own the car that injured him. Absolutely ridiculous. Well, that's what those Jews tried to do to the current owners of Bayer. At least right triumphed this time and their suit was denied.

The U.S. Dollar May Be On The Verge Of Total Collapse
Investment Weekly
Things are starting to get VERY ugly out there. The US Dollar
has collapsed 13% in the last four months alone... while Gold
has skyrocketed from $1,170 per ounce to a new all time high of $1,364 per ounce... in just TWO MONTHS!
Let's be blunt here: a 13% drop in a currency in just four months
is a HUGE deal. While idiots like Treasury Secretary Timothy
"Turbotax" Geithner likes to blather about how China is manipulating
its currency, the US Federal Reserve is literally TRASHING the
Dollar... setting the stage for a full-scale currency collapse in the US.
Indeed, the US is now the second largest owner of US debt. As if
that weren't crazy enough... we're actually PRINTING money just
to buy our own debt.
Comment:
Is it any wonder foreigners are dumping US Treasuries? We treat
our own currency like it's toilet paper! We are truly heading for some dark times ahead.

Federal Workers Don’t Share Recession Pain
NEWSMAX
10/3/10
While many workers in the private sector have been suffering the effects of the recession, federal employees have been enjoying a boom in employment and compensation — at taxpayers’ expense.
“For nearly two years, millions of private-sector workers have made often painful sacrifices because of failed federal economic policies and skyrocketing federal spending and debt. But the opposite has been true for federal workers,” the Washington Examiner states in an editorial.
According to the Examiner:
•Beginning in 2008, federal employees earning $100,000 or more a year rose from 14 percent to 19 percent of the civil service workforce of 2 million.
•During that period, Washington added around 100,000 new jobs, while more than 7 million private-sector jobs were lost.
•The average compensation for a federal worker now stands at $123,049, more than double the private-sector average.
•Of the 10 counties with the highest per capita income, six are in the Washington, D.C., area.
The Heritage Foundation reported that four out of the five jobs President Obama claimed were “created or saved” by the stimulus bill were in government.
Now Rep. Mike Coffman, a Colorado Republican, wants bureaucrats and politicians to share the pain. He has a proposal to furlough all nonessential federal workers for two weeks next year, and to cut the salaries of senators and representatives by 10 percent.
But the House Democratic leadership recently refused to schedule a vote on a bill introduced by Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., to cut congressional pay by 5 percent. Coffman’s proposal is not likely to fare much better — it’s been 77 years since Congress voluntarily took a pay cut.
But the Examiner warns: “In the year of the Tea Party, if the rest of Congress doesn’t take the Coffman and Kirkpatrick bills seriously, voters will have the opportunity in November to remind them what it’s like to be unemployed.”
Comment:
As to our representatives taking a pay cut, what's their problem? Most of them are wealthy. It's not like they need the money. They probably make more money from their businesses and investments then from their government pay. But then again, these people have yachts to maintain, mansions to keep up, and servants that need to be paid, so I guess every penny counts! [insert sarcastic sound here]
As to federal employees, they may say, "We've earned those perks!" To which I say, "And how is that?" I don't get Columbus Day, Veteran's Day, MLK Day off with pay. Why should you?" Why should you get a fat pension that pays nearly as much as when you were working? I don't get one. You should be greatful you have the job security that you do. True, you too can be laid off. But here in Caliornia, you literally work at your employer's whim. Unless you're union, your employer can let you go for any reason, as long as it doesn't violate the Civil Rights Act.
Here' a perfect example. When I was 28, just before I went into teaching, my boss called me into his office and said, "Dan, I'm afraid I'm going to have to let you go." Naturally I asked why. His response was that a friend of his was just forced into early retirement. He didn't want to retire at 62 because he'd get reduced social security benefits. My boss told me that I was 28 and could get a job anywhere, but his friend was 62, and would have a lot more difficulty finding work. Hey, I don't want to sound insensitive, but too f-ing bad. His friend's misfortunes weren't mine. I needed a job too, and I didn't feel like looking again. But I got the shaft. That couldn't have happened if I were a federal employee. So when these government workers say they deserve all these perks, I say BULLSHIT! You don't deserve any more than anyone else gets - especially since the taxpayers like me and other White workers are footing the bill.
We all deserve a fair day's pay for a fair day's work, plus insurance, vacation, sick leave, and retirement benefits. Now federal employees don't get fringe benefits, they get FRINGE BENEFITS. Also many get an expense account and a car, all on the taxpayer's nickel. I wish somebody would give me a free car to drive to work in. Pretty sweet deal. Too bad we can no longer afford them. Yes, pay the federal workers a fair salary or wage, but all these extras have got to go.

Additions
Two days ago, I pledged that I would no longer trash other White groups or people, unless there was proof positive which I've seen personally. That is a promise I intend to keep. To further that end, I have made some additions to my "White Friendly" sites list.
Until now, I only listed sites that I had nothing against. Now, I'm relaxing that policy and am including several more White friendly sites. If anyone knows of any other sites that might like a link on this blog, let me know, and I'll list them. The only exceptions to this new policy will be the NSM. As long as they are affiliated with the Joy Of Satan Cult, I cannot in good conscience list them as that would be condoning, even if it is indirectly, the practice of Satanism. If they ever divorce themselves of these Devil Worshippers, I will be happy to include them as well.
Also, I feel I cannot as yet include the New Aryan Nations. No matter who's the bad guy, I just cannot list them at this time. I hope everyone understands.

How U.S. Taxpayers Pay for Wall between Mexico and Guatemala
10/8/10
The hypocritical Mexican government is using U.S. taxpayer cash to build an anti-illegal immigration wall between Mexico and Guatemala — while at the same time condemning an identical wall on the American–Mexican border.
The cash — some $400 million annually — is handed over to the Mexican government in terms of the Mérida Initiative, which was signed into law in 2008. An additional $65 million per year is given to Central American countries.
The declared aim of the plan is to “combat the threats of drug trafficking, transnational organized crime and money laundering” and, according to reports, the building of a wall along the border river Suchiate in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas is part of this program.
Erick Zúñiga, mayor of the western Guatemalan municipality of Ayutla, better known as Tecún Umán, bordering Mexico, said the state of Chiapas has already begun construction of the barrier, which he said “looks like a wall to prevent the Suchiate River from flooding.”
There is nothing wrong, of course, with the idea of Mexico building a wall to stop hordes of illegal immigrants entering its territory. According to Mexican records, nearly 500,000 such illegals enter Mexico from Central and South America every year.
Most of these go on to try and enter the U.S., and hence it makes sense to build a wall to halt the invasion on the Mexican–Guatemalan border.
However, this is where the hypocrisy and double standards of the ruling elite in Washington DC, in Mexico, and in the pro-immigration lobby within the U.S. comes to the fore: all are hysterically opposed to an equally sensible wall being built on the American–Mexican border.
Mexican President Felipe Caldéron, for example, only a short while ago, told an international magazine that it was “hard to believe that a wall is now being built in Arizona and Texas only 17 years after the world celebrated the fall of the Berlin Wall” and called for American taxpayers to build roads in Mexico “rather than walls.
“The decision made by Congress and the U.S. government [to build the wall] is deplorable. Humanity committed a grave error by constructing the Berlin Wall and I am sure that today the United States is committing a grave error in constructing a wall along our northern border,” Mr. Caldéron said.
He later went on to rail against the state of Arizona for its tough immigration measure, saying that “criminalizing immigration, which is a social economic phenomena . . . opens the door to intolerance, hate, and discrimination. My government cannot and will not remain indifferent when these kinds of policies go against human rights.”
Yet to be an illegal alien in Mexico is a felony and Mr. Caldéron has yet to speak out against the wall being built between his nation and Guatemala.
Comment:
Why the hell should we build roads in Mexico? Let them build their own damn roads. Whay must we always be the suckers that have to foot the bill?
Then again, I'm sure most of you know the reason. For every thing the United States builds in Mexico, someone makes big bucks. You know who I mean - Oy Vey!
The hypocritical Mexican government is using U.S. taxpayer cash to build an anti-illegal immigration wall between Mexico and Guatemala — while at the same time condemning an identical wall on the American–Mexican border.
The cash — some $400 million annually — is handed over to the Mexican government in terms of the Mérida Initiative, which was signed into law in 2008. An additional $65 million per year is given to Central American countries.
The declared aim of the plan is to “combat the threats of drug trafficking, transnational organized crime and money laundering” and, according to reports, the building of a wall along the border river Suchiate in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas is part of this program.
Erick Zúñiga, mayor of the western Guatemalan municipality of Ayutla, better known as Tecún Umán, bordering Mexico, said the state of Chiapas has already begun construction of the barrier, which he said “looks like a wall to prevent the Suchiate River from flooding.”
There is nothing wrong, of course, with the idea of Mexico building a wall to stop hordes of illegal immigrants entering its territory. According to Mexican records, nearly 500,000 such illegals enter Mexico from Central and South America every year.
Most of these go on to try and enter the U.S., and hence it makes sense to build a wall to halt the invasion on the Mexican–Guatemalan border.
However, this is where the hypocrisy and double standards of the ruling elite in Washington DC, in Mexico, and in the pro-immigration lobby within the U.S. comes to the fore: all are hysterically opposed to an equally sensible wall being built on the American–Mexican border.
Mexican President Felipe Caldéron, for example, only a short while ago, told an international magazine that it was “hard to believe that a wall is now being built in Arizona and Texas only 17 years after the world celebrated the fall of the Berlin Wall” and called for American taxpayers to build roads in Mexico “rather than walls.
“The decision made by Congress and the U.S. government [to build the wall] is deplorable. Humanity committed a grave error by constructing the Berlin Wall and I am sure that today the United States is committing a grave error in constructing a wall along our northern border,” Mr. Caldéron said.
He later went on to rail against the state of Arizona for its tough immigration measure, saying that “criminalizing immigration, which is a social economic phenomena . . . opens the door to intolerance, hate, and discrimination. My government cannot and will not remain indifferent when these kinds of policies go against human rights.”
Yet to be an illegal alien in Mexico is a felony and Mr. Caldéron has yet to speak out against the wall being built between his nation and Guatemala.
Comment:
Why the hell should we build roads in Mexico? Let them build their own damn roads. Whay must we always be the suckers that have to foot the bill?
Then again, I'm sure most of you know the reason. For every thing the United States builds in Mexico, someone makes big bucks. You know who I mean - Oy Vey!
How U.S. Taxpayers Pay for Wall between Mexico and Guatemala

Riverside water board candidate believed to be Nazi
11:14 PM PDT on Saturday, October 16, 2010
By ALICIA ROBINSON
The Press-Enterprise
Riverside resident Jeff Hall's run for a seat on a local water board has so far been under the radar.
He didn't submit a statement about himself for the official voter guide, nor did he attend a candidates forum hosted by the League of Women Voters, and the only way he is represented on the ballot is with his name -- no title or occupation are listed, unlike most other candidates on the fall ballot.
Next to nothing is known about Jeff Hall, the candidate. But Jeff Hall, the head of a neo-Nazi group, is well-known in Riverside.
As leader of the California chapter of the National Socialist Movement, Hall has helped organize several rallies in Riverside, including one to protest illegal immigration at a gathering site for day laborers and another in which movement members displayed swastika flags outside a synagogue.
Hall, the candidate, gave the county registrar of voters an e-mail address identical to one that Hall, the National Socialist leader, uses at NewSaxon.org, a neo-Nazi website.
Two calls to the phone number on the registrar's candidate list were not returned, and no one answered the door Thursday at the address the registrar listed for Hall.
Reached by phone at a number in a NewSaxon.org posting, Hall said he was traveling and to call back later. He did not return several subsequent calls for comment, nor did he respond to e-mails sent to the address given to the registrar or one on the National Socialist Movement site.
Although Hall is running for a low-profile seat with minimal political power -- the Western Municipal Water District sells water to other agencies and some residential customers -- the apparent neo-Nazi connection concerns some voters and members of the water district board.
"The issues that he would bring to the table seem to me to diverge in a very enormous way from the issues we have to deal with," said Charles Field, a retired judge who is seeking re-election to the board's Division 1 seat. Hall is running in Division 2.
"I certainly wouldn't care to have his input on employee selection and promotion issues."
Serious candidate?
Hall is not the only Inland candidate on the November ballot whose background has been questioned. Daniel B. Schruender, a member of the Aryan Nations, is seeking a seat on the Rialto Unified School District board.
Schruender said in an August interview he is not running as an Aryan Nations candidate and is not a white supremacist but is "pro-white."
The website of the National Socialist Movement claims the group is the largest National Socialist party in the United States. The group's beliefs are described as "defending the rights of white people everywhere, preservation of our European culture and heritage, strengthening family values, economic self-sufficiency, and reform of illegal immigration policies, immediate withdrawal of our national military from an illegal Middle Eastern occupation and promotion of white separation."
The idea of someone affiliated with the movement running for office is "very, very disturbing," even if he's not actively campaigning, said Rabbi Suzanne Singer, who officiates at Riverside's Temple Beth El.
Hall's National Socialist group has demonstrated several times at the temple.
"I don't think somebody like that should be in a leadership position in our city," Singer said. "I would wonder whether this would be a first step towards trying to eventually gain a position that's more influential or more important."
Singer and others wondered whether Hall is a serious candidate. Several water board members said they had heard a neo-Nazi was running for a seat, but they've never met the candidate or seen him at their meetings, and they have no idea what his platform on water issues is.
Members of groups like the National Socialist Movement may have several reasons to run for elected office, said Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at Cal State San Bernardino.
Appearing on the ballot can generate low-cost publicity and possibly result in some political power, he said.
"A lot of people just don't even know who's running, so if there's low turnout ... and all you have to do is get your name on the ballot, why not give it a shot," Levin said. "It's part of a campaign by these hate groups to appear relevant."
Relevant to ask
Such groups have a long tradition of fielding candidates, Levin said. He cited Tom Metzger, founder of the group White Aryan Resistance, who ran for U.S. House and Senate seats in California in the 1980s and is currently a write-in candidate for an Indiana congressional seat; and former Ku Klux Klan member David Duke, who has run for various offices and was elected to the Louisiana legislature in 1989.
The Inland area in particular has "a disproportionate representation" of hate groups, Levin said. Group members have moved there to get away from more dense and diverse metropolitan areas, he said, but they've found the Inland area is now becoming more diverse.
Neo-Nazi principles might seem unrelated to issues of water supply and distribution, but Levin said it's relevant for voters to ask how such views might affect how someone would carry out the duties of the office.
"(Hall) certainly has the right to run, and the public certainly has a right to examine for themselves whether he and the other candidates have the requisite character, experience and intellect for the office that they're running for," Levin said.
Chani Beeman, a Riverside resident who is on the board of the Western Inland Empire Coalition Against Hate, said she hopes people will educate themselves about all the candidates so they know who they're voting for.
"People get to hold their (own) political views, but when they run for office those views should be known by the electorate," she said.

I don't know that much about Mr. Hall, but I will say, he's got the right idea. Political power is the key to success, not rallies, although rallies do serve a positive purpose, mainly for recruiting. At the AN rally in Pulaski last summer, we picked up several new members. Right idea, wrong organisation. That last remark is strictly my opinion. I won't trash the NSM any more, but I still am not a fan. That's alright. I'm sure they're not fans of me, either!LOL
However, until we have any political power at all, we can achieve very little. This is a point I agree on with ANP Chairman Rocky Suhayda 100%. Recently Rocky commented he didn't know of one National Socialiot who was running for office. Maybe he meant he didn't know of one who had a very good chance of winning, because he knows I'm running for school board, and Mr. Hall is running for water board. Even if we don't have a serious chance, at least we're running. The first step to political power isn't winning. It's running. If we win first off, then all the better. If we lose, then we try again, and keep trying until we do win.
Remember, in the NSDAP's first national election, they won only three seats in the Reichstag. Only three seats. They had dozens of candidates, but only three won. It was a start. By the time Hitler was appointed Chancellor, it was the second-largest party in the Reichstag. As the Chinese say, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step." Well, National Socialism has now taken two steps. They'll be more, you can count on it.
Little advice from someone who knows. Look for offices in which you'll be running unopposed. Then, register to run ON THE LAST DAY OF REGISTRATION. That way, if the press discovers you are National Socialist, nobody else can register and oppose you just to keep you out of office because of who and what you are. It will be too late for that, and if you are unopposed, you've already won. Just don't forget to vote for yourself or you still might lose!
BTW, I actually live about twenty minutes from Riverside, Ca., although I've never met Mr. Hall personally. It seems he's ducking the press. Do you blame him? I'm sure he knows who I am, because of the hatchet job the media did on me, including the paper this story came from. He doesn't want the same thing to happen to him and I don't blame him. Like myself, he probably won't win, but you never know. Stranger things have happened. Anyone remember the headline "Dewey Defeats Truman"? Most people thought Truman would lose, but he won. So who knows? It isn't over until November 2.
I wish you good luck, Jeff. I hope you wish me the same.
