In December 2017, anti-Muslim activist Laura Loomer appeared on a podcast for the white supremacist website Amerika. In unearthed audio, Loomer can be heard making racist and demeaning comments about Muslims and Palestinians. She also called herself âpro-white nationalismâ and said she was not opposed to an âethnostateâ for white people.
Brett Stevens and Amerika
In the early 2000s, Amerika.org, which is primarily operated by neo-reactionary author Brett Stevens, went by the name American Nihilist Underground Society â or A.N.U.S. for short â according to archived copies of that site.
Beginning in 2002 the websiteâs main page carried a tribute to al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, lauding him for âbreaking past the dogma and demonstrating how the United States, Israel and the United Nations have been suppressing Arabs for years for representing a threat to the coming neoliberal federalist world order.â
The website hawked âOSAMA BIN LADEN FOR PRESIDENTâ hats. Readers could even sign up for a âDeath to Israel Mailing List.â
Upon learning that Neo-Nazi terrorist Anders Breivik â who murdered 77 people Norway, many of them children â quoted one of his essays in his 1,500-page manifesto, Stevens was ecstatic.
âI am honored to be so mentioned by someone who is clearly far braver than I,â he wrote two days after the attack. âAgain, no comment on his methods, but he chose to act where many of us write, think and dream.â
In 2016 Stevens hopped on the âalt-rightâ bandwagon, writing that the Internet-savvy white nationalist movement âencloses a cultural revolution.â
In another article, speaking as a member of the alt-right, Stevens wrote that âour desire is to achieve a nation created on the basis of genetic similarity, with internal hierarchy based on individual differences not in test-scoring but in innate ability.â
And he once warned that foreigners want to âmove to European-ruled lands and in the process, destroy the population there through a process of indirect subversion and genetic conquest.â
In 2019, after data from the defunct Neo-Nazi forum Iron March had been dumped online, Stevens used it as a recruitment tool.
âIf you liked the Iron March forum, you might find Amerika.org to be even more extreme,â Stevens wrote in an email to former Iron March members. âWe are Nietzschean, pro-Western, and anti-egalitarian. While our approach is more traditionalist than National Socialist, it is uncompromising.â
Laura Loomer Defends White Nationalism
On December 5, 2017 â months after the deadly white supremacist âUnite the Rightâ rally in Charlottesville, VA â Loomer made a guest appearance on Stevensâ podcast Nationalist Public Radio.
Co-host James Price explained to Loomer that, âin a nutshell,â they are âabout ethnonationalism.â Loomer answered affirmatively when asked if she was a âcivic nationalist,â but added that she doesnât âoppose ethnonationalism.â
âLike, Iâm a Jew, and Iâm pro-Israel, and I would be a hypocrite if I were to say that I was against ethnonationalism because Israel is an ethnostate,â she said. âAnd itâs a great country. Itâs a great place. I totally support ethnonationalism. Someone asked me âAre you pro-white nationalism?â Yes. Iâm pro-white nationalism.â
Loomer said that while she supported âwhite nationalism,â there was a difference between that and âwhite supremacyâ â something she said âliberalsâ and âleft-wing globalist Marxist Jewsâ didnât understand. She claimed that America began as a âwhite, Judeo-Christian ethnostate,â and is being destroyed by âimmigrationâ and âdiversity.â
She then told Price and Stevens, âI donât oppose people who say that they wanna have their own ethnostate or â I donât see anything wrong with white nationalism. But you need effective leaders â people who arenât Richard Spencer, people who arenât James Allsup â to convey that message.â
Laura Loomer Says Jews and Muslims Should Not Mix
âThe question arises: How does a multicultural society reconcile people who hate Jews and Muslims with Jews and Muslims, and Muslims who hate Jews?â Stevens asked. âIs there any way out of that paradox, do you think?â Loomer said there was not, because âyou canât really coexist with people who want to kill you.â
She said that âleft-wing Jewsâ are âunder this false impression that we can have peaceâ with Muslims. And she remarked that âitâs almost ingrained in [Muslimsâ] DNA at this point in time to hate and want to kill everything that does not wanna submit ⊠to Islam.â
Loomer complained that âleftistsâ want everyone to have a âshared identity,â and asked if âmulticulturalismâ and âdiversityâ would lead to the promotion of âinterracialâ marriages.
âNot that Iâm opposed to like interracial or mixed-race marriage but, are you gonna have it so that no one really has like their own set identity?â she added. âDo you want everyone to have a shared identity and not really be able to identify with one set culture or one group?â
However, Loomer went on to say that she did oppose any relationships between Jews and Muslims.
âWhen I talk about this with people, Iâll give you an example: Iâm totally against Muslims and Jews mixing. Iâm totally against it. I donât support it. I do not think Muslims and Jews should marry. I donât think they should reproduce with each other. Iâm totally against it.â
Loomer said children born to Muslim and Jewish parents would experience a âcatastrophic identity crisisâ and asked who they would âidentify with.â
Laura Loomer Says Left-Wing Jews âAre Not Really Jewsâ
Loomer reiterated her support for âethnonationalismâ while castigating Jews who opposed it.
âThe problem I have is â and this is why I understand a lot of [the alt-rightâs] frustrations with some Jewish people is that you have a lot of Jews who say âOh, ethnonationalism, you canât have that. You canât have ethnonationalism,’â Loomer said.
She said that âthe thing [the alt-right doesnât] understand about the Jewish people who are saying âWe donât support your ethnonationalism’â is that those Jews âare not even pro-Israel.â
âYou canât be pro-Israel and also be promoting immigration in Israel, you canât consider yourself to be pro-Israel and also be pushing and giving resources to pro-Muslim, pro-Islam advocacy. It doesnât work that way. These people are not really Jews.â
Laura Loomer Dehumanizes Palestinians
Stevens asked Loomer âWhat do you do with the problem like Palestinians when you are an ethnostate and youâve got this foreign population among you that, not all of them want to kill you, but enough of them do? What are your thoughts on that?â
âWell theyâre not legitimate people,â she replied. âTheyâre not legitimate. You have to keep them out. ⊠Itâs very controversial and a lot of people are gonna be very offended by what Iâm saying. But thatâs another thing is you are automatically deemed a racist or an Islamophobe if you want to be assertive about your borders.â
Loomer said that âsovereign nationsâ must be able to âforcefully and effectively declare and label [their] borders.â
She claimed that certain people are âtrying to change the fundamental fabric of this world,â and said that there is ânothing wrong with labeling your borders and asserting your borders and protecting your borders.â âAnd how did we get to a point in history where you are a bigot if you want to protect your border?â she asked.
Last year Loomer unsuccessfully ran for Congress, losing by twenty percentage points to her Democratic opponent Rep. Lois Frankel. She has indicated that she will run again.
This year Loomer attended the second annual America First Political Action Conference, a white nationalist gathering held in Orlando, FL. One of the conference speakers, Michelle Malkin, shared a photo of herself, Loomer, and Lauren Witzke â a far-right politician with white nationalist ties.
