1. If you spend your free time hate-reading news about Donald Trump's racism, buckle up. Our story begins with one of the most beloved books in neo-Nazism. Not Mein Kampf or The Turner Diaries, but the 1973 novel Les Camp des Saints by Jean Raspail.
2. In the book, a horde of dark Indian peasants invade Europe, led by a farmer named Turd-Eater who carries his "horribly deformed" child around and literally eats shit. The peasants have an animalistic obsession with sex. They have lots of kids and soon outnumber the whites.
3. They also rape white women, setting up White Female Practice and Experimentation Centers where "each refugee quarter had its stock of white women, all free for the taking."
4. And they kill their white bosses. One black worker at a pig slaughterhouse kills his boss (like a pig) and hoists his body. But the black workers, seeing the body, feel "no special disgust. They had seen such things before, after all. At market, in the Congo."
5. Things get so bad, at one point the mayor of New York has to share Gracie Manson with three African-American families. In the end, only Switzerland is safe from the hordes of blacks who have taken over the world. One depressed character reflects on the value of white pride.
6. What does this matter? In 1994, the Social Contract Press republished this book along with a loving afterword by the owner of the Press, John Tanton, who said he was “honored” to do so. Tanton, an ophthalmologist from Michigan, was *very* anti-immigration.
7. He was also a white nationalist. And, surprise surprise, a huge proponent of eugenics. For more on this, see @brooklynmarie.
8. Side note: another Social Contract Press author was white nationalist Garrett Hardin, who you may know from his 1968 paper "The Tragedy of the Commons." What you may not know is he blamed the tragedy of the commons on the welfare state and called affirmative action racist.
9. Back to Tanton. Before republishing Le Camp, he made two great contributions to the American political landscape. In 1979, He founded the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). Then in 1986, he founded the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).
10. You probably know CIS. They like to provide bad data about why immigration must be stopped. Especially Latino immigration. Republicans sometimes use this data. For example, Trump cited CIS in his first national general election ad. mediaite.com/online/head-of…
11. Trump likes to use CIS people to handle immigration. In 2017, CIS analyst Jon Feere joined Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In 2018, Trump nominated CIS fellow Ronald Mortensen as assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration.
12. When Trump decided to separate undocumented immigrant children from their parents, CIS defended the decision.

13. And remember when Trump said the wall would pay for itself? That was based on bad CIS data.

14. Now, let's go back to the other anti-immigration group Tanton founded — FAIR. The Southern Poverty Law Center currently classifies FAIR as a hate group, specifically citing its rhetoric against Latinos. And Trump pulls from this group to handle immigration, as well.
15. In fact, in May 2017, the executive director of FAIR, Julie Kirchner, was named ombudsman of Citizenship and Immigration Services, reporting to the Department of Homeland Security.

16. In Feb 2018, DHS put out this 14-word statement that begins "We Must Secure...," echoing the famous 14-word neo-Nazi slogan "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."

17. The DHS claimed it was a coincidence, but any 14-word phrase starting "We Must Secure..." will be instantly recognized by neo-Nazis. In fact, the slogan is so famous it's known simply as the Fourteen Words and some neo-Nazis get the number 14 tattooed on themselves. Image
18. This is classic dog-whistle politics. You send out a message that, like a dog whistle, is undetectable to most. Or at least, one that can be explained away as a joke or a coincidence. Trump does this often. But, of course, the dogs hear the call. Here, one final example...
19. Another number is 88 (8th letter is H so 88=Heil Hitler). Thus, 1488 is like a neon light for Nazis. A dog-whistle with a bullhorn, loud and clear. Now, look at this headline about immigrant children...in camps. Coincidence? Possibly.

21. Those numbers again. 88 versions, 14 words. The Trump admin is sending out Nazi smoke signals, and some are naive enough to think these are accidental, naturally formed clouds. Oh look, that one just happens to be shaped like a swastika. How odd.
22. And then there's this.

24. 14 words, 88 characters including spaces, HH in the middle. Image
25. In November, leaked emails revealed Stephen Miller, architect of Trump's travel ban and of separating migrant children, once recommended "Camp of the Saints" (see above) to learn why we need stricter immigration policies.

26. The "America First" slogan, while not invented by neo-Nazis, is very popular among them: the neo-Nazi America First Committee popularized the term and David Duke used it while running for the Senate in 2016.
27. Also how about these unusually non-white "nostalgic" baseballs being sold, yep, $88. Image
