Dear Friends of NPI,

“Towards a New Nationalism” is just around the corner, and I urge all those who are serious about joining us in Washington on September 9-10 to jump off the fence and register!

You can find out more about were doing at NPIconferences.com.

“Towards a New Nationalism” is going to be special, and not only for the speakers—people like Peter Brimelow, Sam Dickson, James Edwards, Tomislav Sunic, and Jared Taylor—but also for the attendees, many of whom are intellectual leaders in their own right.

I’ve recently made a video that covers these topics—and explains why it’s a good idea for prospective attendees to register now (we actually won’t be able to sell you an admission ticket at the Reagan Building on Saturday morning!)

I also have an important announcement for those who won’t be able to attend the event in Washington.

If you’re interested in our speakers and our ideas—and would like to attend the conference in spirit—there’s a way!

We’re going to live-stream the conferences—FOR FREE!

Beginning Saturday, September 10, at 9 AM ET, NPItv will offer live coverage of the conference, direct from the Reagan Building. Register here!

We won’t live-stream Friday’s Press Club event, but we will offer HD video of the full press conference—again, for free—shortly after the event concludes.

All you have to do is visit NPItv.com, register, and then enjoy it all for nothing. This is a great chance for nationalists around the world to take part in our gathering (if only virtually)—as well as for NPI to bring our ideas to a much wider audience than would otherwise be possible.

And it gets better.

A few weeks after September 10, NPI will offer video of the entire conference in beautiful high-definition for download at NPItv.com—and we’ll do it at inexpensive, iTunes-like prices.

So, if you’re serious about joining us in Washington, please visit NPIconferences.com to register.

And if you’d like to watch live, please register for our free stream at NPItv.com.

I hope to see you all in DC for what will be a intellectually challenging and inspiring social gathering.

Best wishes,

Richard Spencer

Conference Overview

NPI’s 2011 conference will address the consequences of mass immigration into the United States from cultural, political, and biological perspectives. It will feature prominent experts, panel discussions, and ample time for speakers’ interaction with attendees.

This year’s presenters include Peter Brimelow, Sam Dickson, James Edwards, John Glad, Alex Kurtagić, Keith Preston, Byron Roth, Richard Spencer, Tomislav Sunić, Jared Taylor, and others.

“Nation” is an English word too often misused or taken for granted, its real meaning ignored or obscured.

Nation, in fact, does not refer to a governmental entity officially recognized by the UN, nor even to a plot of land with specified borders.

Nation, from the Latin nasci (”to be born”), means a race, a people that shares a common experience, tradition, and, most important, ancestry.

In this way, the National Question is one that should precede others regarding economics, culture, and politics. It is the fundamental questions of who we are and who we are to become.

Standing for the longterm interest of America’s historic majority, The National Policy Institute’s central mission is that of nationalism, properly defined. In its first ever conference, NPI has assembled a group of men who come from a variety of intellectual backgrounds but who are united in an abiding concern for the future of Western nations and the civilization to which they gave birth.

When & Where
Main Conference

The National Policy Institute’s first public conference will take place in Washington, DC, on September 10, 2011 from 9am to 7:00pm EST in the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, just north of the National Mall.

This coming weekend, Marine Le Pen holds its summer schools. The strategic issue is whether the anchor adopted by its leader: she transforms the FN into the French Tea Party?

For such evolution to occur, four indicators are to be observed:

1) A new place to fight against charges she will be recognized by the FN in respect of priorities? This creed is the foundation of the Tea Party.

2) A new place to fight against the establishment is she known? In the 80’s, the Club de l’Horloge, which was one of the conceptual crucibles FN, was the first to occupy this niche then. Will this return to fashion?

Why is it that during the last decade, when Republicans controlled all three branches of government, the national debt still exploded? Why is it that the last time a real conservative sat in the White House — Ronald Reagan — government grew astronomically?

If you asked the average conservative during the Bush years why government continued to grow so rapidly, the typical answer would have been that we were fighting two wars. When conservatives are asked why Reagan did not fulfill his promise to scale back the federal government during his tenure, they typically give one of two answers: either that the Democrats did not follow through on their pledge to cut spending or that we were in the middle of the Cold War.

“Wars cost money,” Franklin Roosevelt once said, and no doubt any nation would pay virtually any cost to protect itself against a real threat. Conservatives almost unanimously supported Reagan’s defense build-up because they believed the Soviet Union was a serious threat to our safety. Most conservatives gave Bush a pass on his profligate spending because they believed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were priorities. However, when it comes to today, are there any actual threats on the horizon that warrant what we currently spend on our military adventures?

Iran is certainly no such threat. To say that Iran may get a nuclear weapon and become a potential threat to its neighbors is one thing; to say that it is a threat to the United States is another. Yet too many conservatives continue to confuse the two, or as the former head of the U.S. Central Command retired Army General John Abizaid explained in 2007: “I believe the United States, with our great military power, can contain Iran … Let’s face it: We lived with a nuclear Soviet Union, we’ve lived with a nuclear China, and we’re living with nuclear powers as well.”

A massive disturbance broke out at Playland Park in Westchester County, New York, Tuesday when a group of Muslim visitors grew angry over park rules forbidding the use of “headgear” on some of its rides. The headgear, in this instance, was the traditional Muslim head covering — often called a hijab — worn by women.

Authorities from allegedly nine different agencies descended on the fun-park after county police responded to the disturbance, which by that time, involved some 30 to 40 people. Local reports indicate some 3,000 Muslim-Americans had gathered at the park.

By 4:30 p.m., nearly two hours after the altercation broke out, some three dozen police cruisers blocked Playland’s entrance and a helicopter was seen flying overhead. A reporter allegedly counted roughly 60 cruisers on the scene from various agencies.

André Carson, a Democratic representative from Indiana and a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, suggested last week that certain members of the tea party in Congress are indistinguishable from violent racists.

“This is the effort that we’re seeing of Jim Crow. Some of these folks in Congress right now would love to see us as second-class citizens,” Carson said at a caucus event in Miami on Aug. 22. “Some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me … hanging on a tree.”

A video of the comments was circulated Tuesday by a video producer at “The Blaze,” news and opinion site run by Glenn Beck, the former Fox News host.

The National Policy Institute is pleased to announce a limited number of scholarships for its upcoming conference in Washington, DC—“Towards a New Nationalism.” (Register here.)

A generous donor would like to help 10 worthy students or young people attend the conference at half price, $75.

This is a wonderful opportunity! I hope that you will forward this message to anyone who might be interested. I’ll stress again that these scholarships are in limited supply.

To apply, please send an email to richard@npiconferences.com and answer the following questions:

• What are your educational achievements and future educational goals?

• What are some books, writers, and/or websites that have influenced your intellectual development and led you to be interested in attending NPI’s conference?

• How do you plan to be involved in nationalist and European heritage movements over the coming decades, either as an activist, writer, organizer, or patron?

N.B.: NPI already offers student and twenty-somethings tickets for $50, though these attendees will not be able to avail themselves of lunch and the dinner buffet and will be seated theater-style (details are here). Our donor’s scholarship would allow students and twenty-somethings to attend as regular guests. If you have already purchased a $50 student ticket, you can still apply for a scholarship, and pay a $25 upgrade fee if you are awarded one.

Good luck to all who apply!

A perceptible air of calm and confidence radiated off freshman Eric Horton as he walked across the University of Texas-Pan American campus at the start of a new semester Monday.

Though his peers filled the grounds with excited and anxious chatter, the engineering student said his first day of college was nothing compared to the armed service tours he took in the Middle East.

“I’ve been through Iraq and Afghanistan, so this can’t be much worse,” Horton, of Edinburg, said coolly. “My day’s still going on, but my first class was unique. Art appreciation should be an interesting one.”

Taking a quick glance across a bustling courtyard, the veteran acknowledged he was one of few black students at UTPA.

And Horton shared a mixed reaction to enrollment data showing the black student population, along with whites and Asians, appears to be falling at the university.

Across America, citizens are showing unrest as the economy crumbles and the divide between classes becomes greater and greater.

While the economic downturn is perhaps most easily reflected on President Obama’s approval rating — currently at a low of only 40 percent — can violence on the streets of America be blamed on the state of the economy as well?

Bob Donovan is an alderman in Wisconsin who presides over a district that includes Milwaukee, WI. Earlier this month, a riot erupted at a nearby state fair in which blacks were pitted against whites as hundreds and as many as a thousand youths viciously attacked one another. Donovan told RT that Milwaukee may be a diverse community, it is also one that is grossly segregated.

Donovan says that while whites and blacks may keep to their own sides of the city, minorities in Milwaukee are facing a plague that is ravaging their community. Black male unemployment, said Donovan, is an epidemic. “Some are placing it as close to 50 percent,” he told RT. “That has its problems that unfortunately there are far too many individuals in Milwaukee can chose to ignore it.” And with that unemployment comes unrest aimed towards those who are getting by with jobs and money in cities just like his.

The white candidate for state parole supervisor of a high-risk sex-offender unit in Fresno was a specialist in tracking pedophiles.

The black candidate had no training in tracking sex offenders, but scored points with the interview panel for being friendly and for his community work.

When state parole agent Philip Andrew Mounts didn’t get the job, he wondered if the color of his skin played a role. He is white and the parole agent who was promoted — Ronnie Sims — is black.

Mounts sued the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for race discrimination. A jury has been selected in Fresno County Superior Court to determine whether his claim is valid. The trial resumes Monday.

The trial in Judge Alan Simpson’s courtroom is tackling the sticky question of whether a person’s race should trump a person’s credentials to satisfy an employer’s desire to create a diverse workplace.
