White Supremacist Book Distributor Operating in the Sunset District

by Circle Ansuz
Greg Johnson and Michael Polignano are operating Counter-Currents Publishing, a white supremacist book distributor based in the Sunset of San Francisco. They are preparing to move to a new location and they need to be exposed for who and what they are.

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

Since June 11th, 2010 Counter-Currents Publishing has been operating in secret in the Sunset District under the management of Greg Johnson and Michael Polignano (1). Their objective, in their words is, “to destroy the cultural hegemony of multiculturalism and anti-white racism and to replace them with the cultural hegemony of white pride, white self-assertion, and White Nationalism.”(2) They argue there are inherent differences between people based on their race, believe that whites are inherently superior to other racial groups, and believe American Jews are responsible for anti-white propaganda. Their distributed works include the writings of infamous fascist, Nazi, and New Right authors such as Julius Evola (3), Alain de Benoist (4), Kevin MacDonald (5), and Nazi spy Savitri Devi (6).

Upon discovering their existence and operation in San Francisco we, the operatives of Circle Ansuz and our friends and allies, have worked to raise awareness of their existence, their racist ideology, and mobilize pressure to shut down their organization. Allowing their organizing and promotional efforts to proceed unhindered and unopposed would only lead to further racially motivated violence (7) in our city and the Bay Area. On October 30th we began our campaign against Counter-Currents Publishing (8).

For Circle Ansuz their promotion of authors and books which claim Pagan and Heathen spirituality are racially-based is among the most personal of their crimes. As Heathens we believe any claims of racial basis to spirituality are nothing more than a bald-faced attempt to pervert our practices into a front for fascist, racist propaganda. Such claims run counter to the moral and ethical foundations of modern Heathen and Pagan spirituality.

On December 17th, nine days after our action (9) on the white supremacists' martyrs' day, Counter-Currents announced the first of many moving sales (10). If they continue to operate anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area they will be found, exposed, and opposed wherever they run or however they hide. We call upon all the people of the Bay Area to join us in non-violent opposition to organized racism in our communities. As long as those people continue to operate unhindered people will suffer the consequences of their hatred.

Boycott Counter-Currents Publishing! They're bad, bad meanies!
by Aimee
Are they not entitled to be heard?
by Fan of Voltaire
Voltaire said that he might not agree with what someone says he will defend their right to say it. I don't agree with White pride but I also don't agree with Black pride. If someone is an American they should have American pride. But I am not gonna get flustered about some White Nationalist giving out literature when people proud to be Black and Mexican are even active in the schools. All racial identity is divisive and I honestly don't care about peoples historical grievances whether they are White, Black, or Jewish. My message to Blacks is: get over slavery. My message to Jews is: get over the holocaust. My message to Whites is: get over yourselves. If we are Americans then we are Americans. And I don't like White nationalists but I also don't like the orwellian termed Anti-fa activists. It's orwellian because they are fascists who stifle free expression. Both White Nationalists and Anti-fa are both fascists that is why they spend so much time demonstrating near each other, like peas in a pod.
by racial insensitivity at best
"people proud to be Black and Mexican are even active in the schools"

oh, no, heaven forbid

"My message to Blacks is: get over slavery"

wow, just wow. written from an obvious position of privilege and entitlement.

I don't even have time to get into all the ways you are just so wrong. suffice it to say you are blind to your own prejudices even as you profess to be magically colorblind in our CURRENTLY racist society

Jean-Paul Sartre defined a Liberal as someone who will defend the freedom of the enemies of freedom. Well done losers; you have proved him right a thousand times over! Smash those white supremacist assholes and everything they stand for! No equality for the enemies of equality; no tolerance for the enemies of tolerance.

"Don't let the fascist speak."
"We want to hear what they have to say."
"Keep them out of the classroom."
"Everybody is entitled to freedom of speech."

I am a child of America
a step child
        raised in the back room
yet taught
        taught how to act
in her front room
my mind jumps
the voices of students
screaming
insults       threats
"Let the Nazis speak."
"Let the Nazis speak."
Everyone is entitled
        to speak
I sit a greasy-legged
        Black child
in a Black school
in the Black part of town
look to a Black teacher
the bill of rights
        guarantees
us all the right
        my mind
remembers       chants
article I       article I
& my innards churn
they remember
the Black teacher
in the Black school
in the Black part
of the very white town
who stopped us
when we attacked
the puppet principal
the white Board
of mis-Education
cast-off books
illustrated with
cartoons and
words of wisdom
written by white
children in the
other part of town
missing pages
caricatures
of hanging niggers -
the bill of rights
was written to
        protect
           us

my mind remembers
& my innards churn
conjure images
        police
break up
illegal demonstrations
illegal assemblies
        conjure image
of a Black Panther
"if tricky Dick
tries to stop us
we'll stop him."
        conjure image
of that same Black man
going to jail
for threatening
the life of
       THE PRESIDENT
every citizen
is entitled to
freedom of speech
my mind remembers
& my innards churn
conjure images
of jews in camps -
of homosexuals in camps -
of socialists in camps -
"Let the Nazis speak."
"Let the Nazis speak."
        faces in a college
          classroom
"You're being fascist too."
"We want to hear what
they have to say."

        faces in
a college classroom
young white faces
        speak let them speak
speak let them speak
Blacks jews some whites
seize the bull horn
"We don't want to hear
your socialist rhetoric"
        socialist rhetoric
        survival
                     rhetoric
the supreme court
says it is illegal
to scream fire
in a crowded theatre

to scream fire
in a crowded theatre
cause people to panic
to run to hurt each other
my mind remembers
& now i know
what my innards
        say
illegal to cause
        people
to panic
to run
to hurt
there is
no contradiction
what the Nazis say
will cause
        people
        to hurt
        ME.
