We live in a society

that hates those who speak truth.

We want to bring about a different world,

and we want to show people a vision of something

much more beautiful, much greater,

healthier than is being promoted right now.

Look at this, man. Tree hugger.

It's like what's gonna happen if,

you know, we become an underwhelming minority

in the United States,

and who's gonna care about the environment?

- But we secure our future... - Right.

...by speaking the truth.

We are the only ones speaking the truth about this.

A nation is a people with a common heritage.

Right now, I'm not even sure if America is a nation.

Heterogeneous societies,

the more diverse they become,

the more social trust starts to break down,

the more polarized

the politics start to become.

And in some cases, eventually,

there does become a split, and new nations emerge.

The World Wide Web has given us access

to powerful tools of messaging and manipulation.

And with social media news feeds limiting our access

to different points of view,

armies of frustrated citizens

are fueling each other's anger,

embracing ideologies that promise a revolution

for everyone,

a revolution that could tear us apart.

Get back on your side of the border!

_

Black people are animals.

Jews control the media and the finance system

and the entertainment industry.

Immigrants are flooding into our country

to destroy our society

and take away our jobs

and eventually to commit genocide on our race.

That's what I believed 21 years ago

when I left the American White power movement

that I helped build.

My name's Christian Picciolini.

From 1987 to 1995,

I was one of America's first Neo-Nazi skinheads.

When I first joined, it wasn't about ideology for me.

The first thing that grabbed me was the fact

that I could now belong to this new community

where I was accepted.

It felt like I was really changing the world

for the better,

so that instilled power in me.

And that power was very intoxicating.

Aside from the violence

that I caused,

you know, I think the worst thing

that I did was plant all those seeds of hate,

thousands of them,

many of which are still sprouting today,

and I find myself pulling out the weeds.

If you or someone you know is in the dark world

that hate takes you to, we can help.

No judgment, just help.

In 2009, Christian Picciolini

co-founded a non-profit called Life After Hate

to help other people leave hate groups.

We've employed microintervention strategies

online to actually see what types of words

people were using in their social media.

Were they using racist words?

And what we'd do is apply an algorithm

to see who was following who,

how many influencers they followed,

or if, in fact, they were an influencer themselves.

And then we'd contact people one-on-one

and start a conversation with them.

When I was recruited in 1987,

it was very much face-to-face recruitment.

Now recruitment is different, and it's more powerful

because the Internet provides this layer of anonymity.

There's this whole underground world of White nationalists

who operate chat rooms

with tens of thousands of people in them,

who operate message boards

and websites with misinformation and statistics

that are skewed

to make minorities look worse in our eyes.

If you think ISIS has a presence on social media,

you haven't seen anything.

She was a very friendly,

very happy little girl.

She was quiet, shy, didn't make friends that easily.

Somewhat introverted.

With the challenges of middle school

and high school, clique-iness,

she always wanted to do online school,

so we said, "Okay, we could try it."

You know, with her time that she spends online,

she would go out and research different viewpoints,

and that's where she connected

and actually had the ability

to then feel like she was part of a group.

She came to me one day and said,

"You know, sometimes I talk

to some people online about politics."

And I said, "Well, who are these people?"

And she said, "Well, they're two 15-year-old girls

and this one boy who's in college."

She shared with him about her lack of friends

and not being accepted,

and he identified with everything.

She mentioned that he had had the same kind

of a background and situation.

So they really connected.

That's when she said,

"I'd like to make a video over the summer."

And I said, "Well, what kind of video?"

She said, "Well, just political."

At this time, I had no clue the magnitude

of what, you know, this was all about.

Times are changing and Western civilization is in decline.

What kind of future do you want your children to inherit?

Are you concerned about demographic replacements?

Are you tired of feminists,

SJWs and Black Lives Matter terrorists

destroying the foundations of a healthy society?

Do you know who rules over you

and who you're not allowed to criticize?

Whatever the future holds for us,

we are ultimately responsible.

Come join the crusade against the destroyers

of Western civilization.

She came out with it, and we were just, like,

blown away how bad it was.

It actually sickened me.

The Internet is an anarchic arena,

where every individual has independence

to think and believe and to say what they want,

and that essentially could be a good thing.

But we still live

in a hierarchical-structured society.

And you have a radical rebellion

across the world against authority.

I was born into a very dysfunctional family

in a rural Pennsylvanian town.

I endured severe physical abuse.

No one did anything about it,

and so I grew to mistrust the society

that I grew up around

and ran away at the age of 16

and soon found

a rock-'n'-roll band called the Grateful Dead,

which had a very counterculturalist basis.

I chose to provide party favors, or drugs,

for those going into the concerts.

And eventually I ended up in jail and started to open up

to a more conservative lifestyle.

One of the first verses of the Quran says,

"This is a book wherein there's no doubt."

And as a critical thinker,

I was sort of enthralled

and continued to read on.

And I had sort of a spiritual awakening,

so to say.

After he was released from prison,

Jesse Morton began

experimenting with ways to promote Jihad.

For someone who was already critical

of the society around them, I naturally gravitated

to a politicized interpretation of Islam.

2007, I used a relatively nascent platform,

YouTube, and I uploaded a 11-minute clip

that played small segments of a debate

between a very well-known radical preacher,

Abdullah Faisal, and a Christian bishop.

Jesus said about Jihad, he himself believed in it.

Jesus said, "Bring my enemies here

and kill them in front of me."

He was able to manipulate the Christian texts

and embarrass the bishop.

Within a couple of weeks,

it had, you know, a quarter of a million views.

There was thousands of comments.

So we saw the power of online media.

Alongside the video,

Jesse launched a website

and an organization named Revolution Muslim,

one of the first to use YouTube

to recruit Americans for Al-Qaeda,

creating a template

that was copied by other Jihadist groups.

We had a prolific effect.

We were the gateway drug.

It only takes one click to join the vanguard.

And with algorithms feeding us content

based on what we already like,

it's easy to become trapped in a filter bubble

where we only meet people who agree with our beliefs.

It's how Internet movements emerge,

grow and go viral.

The alt right is a very broad

and disparate movement of dissidents

who typically follow along right-wing politics.

A large part of the alt right really did begin

on message boards like /pol/ and 4chan.

These ideas eventually developed to the point

where they were mutating

and becoming more simplified

and more digestible by the masses,

often with comedy in the forms of memes,

constantly creating outrage to make people look foolish

and overly emotional.

The alt right is moving beyond offensive memes

to more sophisticated forms of digital provocation,

and Nathan Damigo is leading the charge.

I see myself largely as an organizer.

It's quite amazing what you can get done

and what you can accomplish

just through the use of a computer

and access to a Wi-Fi network.

Nathan spends 10 hours a day

online spreading his message.

This is On The Front, where we talk about

what's happening in the culture war.

His critics have labeled him a Nazi,

but if Nathan is a threat, at least he's a visible one.

The man that 17-year-old Crusader Girl

first met in a chat room

would only Skype with her with his webcam turned off.

She was starting to get fond of this young man.

I could tell he was isolating her from us.

This so-called boyfriend was very charming.

She was talking to him morning and night,

and it was becoming an obsession.

She said his name was Michael Hansson.

He's 23.

He lives in Eagle, Idaho.

He's German.

He had a Facebook account.

I was studying it very carefully.

This is where it really didn't match up.

His friends looked very odd.

It's almost liked he compiled it overnight maybe.

He just grabbed any individuals.

I figured out how to do a reverse search

with the images,

and, lo and behold, two of the pictures

were from, like, modeling websites.

Crusader Girl's parents

turned to Christian for help.

Hi, it's Christian. How are you?

Hi, Christian. How are you?

I'm doing good.

How's everything going with your daughter right now?

Any updates?

He seems to be pushing her to make these videos.

She seems to be obsessed with this.

It's taking over her life,

and it's pretty heartbreaking,

you know, to see that.

And I am going to follow this guy

to the gates of hell

until I find him and turn her life around

because my daughter is not disposable.

Dear Muslim people,

you think you can get away with playing the parts

of the poor little refugee fleeing Syria.

This recruiter, in my opinion, is a predator.

He's somebody who has absolutely no interest

in this girl

and is using her to meet his own agenda.

Crusader Girl is putting this message out there

and affecting thousands of people with it.

Once it's online, she can never pull that back.

Presentation is everything.

That's why we want

to master an aesthetic that is attractive,

that people want to be a part of.

What's going on, guys?

If you can, share this as much as possible.

We want to get a lot of people on here.

Believe it or not, you can say just about anything

as long as you know how to say it.

Uh, right now,

and someone just asked, you know, in this day and age,

how can we create a sense of community?

It starts by, you know, bringing people together

who share a common history

and a common world view.

And that's what Identity Evropa is.

Identity Evropa was founded with the purpose

of promoting identity

amongst people of European heritage.

I think my greatest inspiration

was that of Generation Identitaire,

which started in France when they occupied

a mosque with about 20 or 30 members.

And they were rejecting

the propagation of Islam within France.

Generation Identitaire blazed a trail

for an anti-immigration youth movement

that has swept across Northern Europe,

with self-proclaimed identitarian groups

parading their exploits across the Internet.

And now their brand of pro-White activism

has arrived on American shores.

Nathan launched Identity Evropa in April 2016,

and they already have chapters in cities across the U.S.

The goals of our organization

are largely to bring people together

beyond the Internet

and break through the political correctness

that has been created.

It's @sweden.

They let a random Swedish person run the Swedish account,

and she was, like, talking about how Sweden was racist

not because they had any part in the slave trade,

but because they produced iron,

which was used to make the ships in the slave trade.

Like, I'm not even joking.

You know, by that theory, though, the Earth is racist

because the iron came from the Earth.

The hurricane went and killed 400

black people from Haiti.

That racist-ass hurricane.

Yeah. Not just that.

There is nothing White people can't do that's not racist.

What you guys are doing today

is going to have massive significance

for the future of this country

and for the future of our people.

So I want to thank each and every one of you

for being here and making that happen.

Thank you.

- Hail victory. - To victory.

I wanted to make the world

a better place for other people.

However, at that time, I was very young and very naive.

I joined the Marine Corps straight out of high school

and never stopped to consider how our involvement

over there would actually play out.

And when I got out there...

...I started to realize that, for the first time,

I was actually kind of an outsider looking in.

And, to me, it was just so plain.

Like, "Okay, this is dumb.

These people have different religions.

They have come from different tribes.

They have different cultural practices,

and they don't like being forced to go along

with the practices of the other tribe by law.

Why not just give these people their own nations?"

America wants to conquer your land,

conquer your resources, kill your brothers,

maim your sisters,

rape your sisters and drop bombs on your children!

By 2010,

Jesse had shed any loyalties to his nation

and was actively radicalizing

American Muslims through his website.

I would go speak in public,

and they would film it,

and then they would put it on the YouTube channel.

To hell with America!

To hell with nationalism!

Within a year and a half or so,

there started to be an overwhelming amount

of terrorist-related cases in the United States,

most of which were directly connected to us.

This is Islam!

This is Islam.

One morning, I woke up, and "South Park" had declared

that they were going to portray

the prophet Muhammad in an episode.

Okay, how about, like, a... a big mascot outfit,

one that covered him completely, head-to-toe,

not even showing his eyes?

Muhammad, would that be okay?

Okay.

I wrote a statement that justified

killing those that portrayed the prophet Muhammad

using medieval scriptures.

I felt internally like I was doing my duty to God.

Jesse was convicted

for conspiring to solicit murder

and using the Internet to communicate threats.

For the second time in his life,

he was sent to prison.

I established a relationship with law enforcement

after realizing

that not only were they human beings,

but that their primary concern

was not with waging a war on Islam and Muslims,

but with identifying individuals

that may go on to kill civilians.

The system itself was not as corrupt

as I once imagined it to be.

By the time he was released 4 years later,

Jesse had de-radicalized.

We probably want to preserve

the way of life that we have.

I've come to appreciate it,

and I regret deeply who I became.

Jesse is still a Muslim.

He now monitors Jihadist propaganda

and plans to start a new organization

to counter Islamic extremism.

What we are now seeing

is with groups like ISIS,

they're developing their own apps,

and everyone is now migrating to the darknet.

And Jihadist organizations, just like any extremist entity,

they're fluid. They're fluid entities.

They can change almost overnight in strategy and tactic.

It's horrifying.

It really is because you think

you're doing everything right as a parent.

You try to give them all the tools they need,

but you have no idea that this evil

could come right into your home on your computer.

Picciolini: He uses probably a dozen aliases.

With one screen name led me to another,

which made another connection to a gamer site.

That's when I found out that this guy

who pretended to be a German

was actually a Russian.

I may have taunted this guy a little bit,

and, within a couple of hours,

I had several of my own websites

attacked with malicious software

all coming from Russia.

I hope that this is enough

to really sway her to stop making the videos.

I'm not going to let another life

be destroyed by some of the same things

that I helped put into this world.

The first thing I want to talk about is these smoke flares.

Pretty cool.

They're fun.

They definitely will generate a lot of interest

in what we're doing and get people's attention.

Just several months ago,

Kate Steinle was shot and killed by a man

who had been actually deported previously several times

and had committed various crimes,

and he still kept coming back to the country.

We want to push back against this massive illegal immigration

that's happening that has been very harmful.

So how do you want me to film it?

You really shouldn't even turn your camera on

till right as we're getting into position.

This is going to be live-streamed by Red Ice.

We couldn't reach this large

of an audience just by hitting the streets,

so I'm really excited about all this.

This will be our first public demonstration.

Our main purpose is to get our ideas

out into the mainstream,

where they're talked about, where they're thought about.

And I think, if we can accomplish that,

then I think everything else will fall in place.

There you go. Pop flares. Pop flares.

You guys ready?

No sanction! No quarter!

Get back on your side of the border!

No sanction! No quarter!

Get back on your side of the border!

Citizens of San Francisco,

if you are in this city illegally,

it's time for you to go home.

America is not your home.

You need to make your nation and your homeland

and your people great again.

No longer will you guys sit here and be demonized

for being who we are.

Every single person standing here is White,

and we're proud.

No sanction! No quarter!

Get back on your side of the border!

Go fuck yourselves, man.

Yeah. You are the reason why a woman was murdered

here several months ago.

- Fuck yourselves. - We're not scared of

your anti-White, ethnomasochistic language.

When you call everyone a racist, no one is a racist.

No sanction! No quarter!

Get back on your side of the border!

Y'all have stupid haircuts, too, for the record.

Let's go, guys.

When everyone has a camera in their pocket,

a public demonstration

can become the fuse for the fire online.

Fuck you, Nazis!

Get the fuck out of San Francisco.

- Oh, yeah. - We're not going anywhere.

We're not going anywhere.

This is about hate.

This is hate towards people of European heritage

who say, "I have an identity. I have a culture.

I have a society,

a civilization, a nation."

And we're not going to back away from that.

While most of us, I think,

would like to believe that the Internet

is a place where the world is smaller

and we can access more information,

the reality is our news is curated for us

based on our browsing history

and based on what we've liked on Facebook or on Twitter.

We're only really being fed things that we agree with.

We once thought the Internet

would democratize societies.

I think, in many ways, what we find now

is that it's polarizing societies.

ISIS adopted a position

in its most famous strategic work called

The Management of Savagery.

They talk about creating conditions of chaos

so that they can then cleanse those societies.

I would really say that we've done

a great deal to fulfill the objectives

of the Jihadists,

which is essentially a 2,500-year war

to wear us down

and to cause us to collapse internally.

My name is Grace, and I'm here to talk about

how being a racist stole my high school years.

I came across a website that told me

that minorities are responsible

for all the wrong in the world, and I believed it.

Soon, I found a White nationalist movement

that gave me a sense of belonging

and a sense of purpose.

I eventually learned that the friends I met

in the movement were nasty and ignorant people.

I also learned that we, as humans,

are evolved enough to coexist

rather than live as separate tribes.

Nowadays, I just want to reinvent myself

and help people of all races.

The best gift you can give to the world

is a kinder version of yourself.
