I am NOT taking a vacation. I am NOT merely distancing myself from the skinheads. I am leaving the so-called "movement." PERMANENTLY. The "movement" is an entertainment industry, not a cause. There are a few -- tragically few -- idealists among those who identify with the "movement," and who sincerely believe in the ideals purportedly being advanced. However, the vast majority of the ranks of the "movement" derive solely entertainment value from the reams of propaganda and the hours of hate rock spewed forth regularly. The "movement" provides amusement to those who cannot find amusement and diversion elsewhere. Within the "movement" young and old alike can live out delusive fantasies of glory and triumph in the comfort of their homes. It is a "movement" of _reaction_, not a movement of revolution. The "movement" is an industry built upon the backs of working people with bright but unrealistic hopes, mostly young people. Perversely, it is also built upon the tragedy of dead people like hate rocker Joe Rowan. William Pierce, whom I helped to enrich himself for over a year, has sold the rights for the "movement's" bible, _the Turner Diaries_, to a Jew. The reason is obvious, and I will let the dull reader speculate. Like many present and former National Alliance members, I pretended it was alright, a prudent decision, a necessary compromise of ideals. But, deep down, it was a fatal blow to my morale. Pierce, whose actions I must view as "selling out," will continue to be regarded as a "hero" in the "movement," while those of us who speak the truth will be seen as "disruptors," or "race-traitors." The "movement" is a fertile ground for hyperactive egos to take root and blossom. Certainly my ego blossomed fully during my "movement" career. Great minds burdened with sloth and limited discipline find a home in the "movement." Reputation and fame are easily obtained by saying outrageous things and engaging in provocative acts, far more easily than were the same minds to endeavor in more "normal" enterprises. This is a self-in- dictment, yes, but it's the truth. One of the most ironic situations within the so-called "movement" is the disparity between the Ideal and the reality. One may peruse the pages of a White Nationalist publication, _Resistance_ for example, and compare what is held up as perfectual, and what actually exists within the ranks of the "movement." The "movement's" ideal aesthetics reflect little or nothing in common with most of their admirers. Certainly I am not showing a blond Teutonic chauvinism here, as I've met many very attractive brown-eyed brunette ladies, but the utter ridiculousness of having images of slender, blond Nordic girls and brawny, fair sons of Vikings plastered everywhere throughout the "movement" exemplifies the delusionary mentality of most "movement" adherents, since hardly 10% of those within the "movement" approach those Nordic ideals. In fact, many White Nationalists could very well be subjects of the Waffen-SS's screed, _Der Untermensch_. The absurdity, even hypocrisy, of the "movement's" Nordicism is encapsulated in the latest _Resistance's_ article on Jack London, a Nordic who gloried about the "perishing and lordly race of blonds" and ridiculed the "ruck and spawn of dark-pigmented breeds." Perhaps the crude, brutal zeal of so many within the "movement" reveals an inferiority complex, fanaticism being a "compensator" for their perceived "deficiency." Also ridiculous is the vast amount of kitsch, and artifacts stripped of context seen within the "movement." The almost universal obsession with material culture from the Viking Age and from the Third Reich highlights the inability of of the "movement" to generate new cultural manifestations. Certainly, I enjoy cultural material from the zenith of White cultural evolution, but it is quite distasteful to view and hear cheap imitation. Almost every piece of visual art is copied from National Socialist Germany, or is a syncretic manipulation of Celtic or Gothic culture with little or no regard for the context which our ancestors respected. This fact alone, the almost complete inability to create truly new cultural material, demonstrates that we are defeated, and the "movement" is living in the past, attempting to hang onto an era that is gone forever. It also shows how diminutive my generation really is compared to our predecessors whom we can never emulate authentically. The callous attitude of the "movement" towards unfavored persons extends not only to non-Whites, but also to those of our own Race. This callousness is clearly illustrated in a recent _Resistance_ feature. George Burdi's laughable self-aggrandizement, "logic dictates that such a discussion [of "esoteric racialism"] will only attract individuals with the intelligence to understand and dutifully apply its teachings" is only a prelude to the shocking statement soon to follow. Burdi writes, "So, with Planet Earth as the ship, we have to drop some people overboard, or we all die. How do we decide who lives and who dies? Do we throw over the retarded, the malformed, the crippled, and the maladjusted, or do we round up the brightest, strongest, healthiest, most beautiful men and women and have them take the plunge? If we really had to decide (and we do) who lives or who dies, who do we keep? Who do we kill?" Just WHO is "malformed" and "most beautiful"? Perhaps if I were doing the choosing, I'd decide that all who didn't fit my ideal should be eliminated. Since "obviously" blue eyes and blond hair are "most beautiful," Mr. Burdi would be the first to go. Of course, I am being grotesquely facetious here. "Maladjusted" he says. What are skinheads but social misfits rebelling against a society that is extremely uncomfortable? I've never heard of a successful businessman who advocates eradicating his best customers. Nay, we are not talking merely about callousness, but hypocrisy. My decision is not a hasty one. I have held onto the illusion that I was accomplishing something despite the facts which glowed brightly before my eyes for sometime. Recent personal sorrow of a life-changing magnitude forced me to accept the facts I lied to myself to ignore. I thank God that in emotional tragedy I have been given great wisdom and long-needed humility. I ask God that I now be allowed to "serve my Race" in the ONLY way that matters in our era, a way so few of my critics have the character to engage in: raise a happy, healthy family. I will offer as further explanation of my position a recent exchange between George Burdi and myself. Mr. Burdi chose to make his response public via the Resistance Records Electronic Newsletter, complete with my city of last residence. I now make my response public as well. It follows this message. -- Milton John Kleim, Jr. Roseville, Minnesota -- "The proper function of man is to live, not exist." -- Jack London
