GEORGE
LINCOLN ROCKWELL INTERVIEW
Haley the Negro writes:
"I called Rockwell
at his Arlington, Virginia, headquarters and relayed the request
for an exclusive interview. After assuring himself that I wasn't
Jewish, he guardedly agreed. I didn't tell him I was a Negro. Five
days later, as my taxi pulled up in front of Rockwell's 'International
Headquarters,' a nine-room white frame house in Arlington (since
padlocked by the Internal Revenue Service, which is currently investigating
the labyrinth of Nazi financial backing), I noticed a billboard-sized
sign on the roof reading:
WHITE MAN FIGHT:
SMASH THE BLACK REVOLUTION!
I couldn't help wondering what kind of welcome I'd receive when
they got a look at my non-Aryan complexion. I didn't have long to
wait,- the khaki-clad duty guard at the door stiffened as I stepped
out of the cab and up the front stairs. When I identified myself,
he ushered me uncertainly inside and told me to wait nearby in what
he called 'the shrine room,' a small, black walled chamber dimly
lit by flickering red candles and adorned with American and Nazi
flags, adjoining portraits of Adolf Hitler and George Washington,
and a slightly larger, rather idealized painting of Rockwell himself
-- a self Portrait. On the table beside my chair sat a crudely bound
and printed copy of Rockwell's self-published autobiography, 'This
Time the World'; I was leafing through it when a pair of uniformed
'storm troopers' loomed suddenly in the doorway, gave the Nazi salute
and in formed me coolly that Commander Rockwell had ordered them
to take me in one of the Party staff cars to his new personal headquarters.
"Fifteen minutes
later, with me and my tape recorder in the back and with two chaperons
in the front, the car turned into a narrow, tree-lined road, slowed
down as it passed a NO TRESPASSING sign (stamped with a skull and
crossbones) and a leashed Doberman watchdog, and finally pulled
up in front of a white, 16-room farmhouse emblazoned at floor --
and second-story levels with four-foot-high red swastikas. About
a dozen Nazis stared icily as the guards walked me past them and
up the stairs to Rockwell's door, where a side-armed storm trooper
frisked me expertly from head to toe. Within arm's reach, I noticed,
was a wooden rack holding short combat lengths of sawed off iron
pipe. Finding me 'clean,' the guard ceremoniously opened the door,
stepped inside, saluted, said, 'Sieg heil!' -- echoed brusquely
from within -- then stood aside and nodded permission for me to
come ahead. I did.
"As if for dramatic
effect, Rockwell was standing across the room, corncob pipe in hand,
beneath a portrait of Adolf Hitler. Warned about my Negritude, he
registered no surprise nor did he smile, speak or offer to shake
hands. Instead, after surveying me up and down for a long moment,
he motioned me peremptorily to a seat, then sat down himself in
a nearby easy chair and watched silently while I set up my tape
machine. Rockwell already had one of his own, I noticed, spinning
on a nearby table. Then, with the burly guard standing at attention
about halfway between us, he took out a pearl-handled revolver,
placed it pointedly on the arm of his chair, sat back and spoke
for the first time: 'I'm ready if you are.' Without any further
pleasantries, I turned on my machine."
NIGGERBOY: Before we
begin, Commander, I wonder if you'd mind telling me why you're keeping
that pistol there at your elbow, and this armed bodyguard between
us.
ROCKWELL: Just a precaution.
You may not be aware of the fact that I have received literally
thousands of threats against my life. Most of them are from cranks,
but some of them haven't been; there are bullet holes all over the
out side of this building. Just last week, two gallon jugs of flaming
gasoline were flung against the house right under my window. I keep
this gun within reach and a guard beside me during interviews because
I've been attacked too many times to take any chances. I haven't
yet been jumped by an impostor, but it wasn't long ago that 17 guys
claiming to be from a university came here to "interview"
me; nothing untoward happened, but we later found out they were
armed and planned to tear down the flag, burn the joint and beat
me up. Only the fact that we were ready for that kind of rough stuff
kept it from happening.
We've never yet had to
hurt anybody, but only because I think they all know we're ready
to fight anytime. If you're who you claim to be, you have nothing
to fear.
NIGGERBOY: I don't.
ROCKWELL: Good. Just
so we both know where we stand, I'd like to make some thing else
crystal clear before we begin.
I'm going to be honest
and direct with you. You're here in your professional capacity;
I'm here in my professional capacity. While here, you'll be treated
well -- but I see you're a black interviewer.
It's nothing personal,
but I want you to understand that I don't mix with your kind, and
we call your race "niggers."
NIGGERBOY: I've been
called "nigger" many times, Commander, but this is the
first time I'm being paid for it. So you go right ahead. What have
you got against us "niggers"?
ROCKWELL: I've got nothing
against you. I just think you people would be happier back in Africa
where you came from. When the pilgrims got pushed around in Europe,
they didn't have any sit-ins or crawl-ins; they got out and went
to a wilderness and built a great civilization.
NIGGERBOY: It was built
with the help of Negroes.
ROCKWELL: Help or no,
the white people in America simply aren't going to allow you to
mix totally with them, whether you like it or not.
NIGGERBOY: The purpose
of the civil rights movement is equality of rights and opportunity,
Commander -- not miscegenation, as you seem to be implying.
ROCKWELL: Equality may
be the stated purpose, but race mixing is what it boils down to
in practice; and the harder you people push for that, the madder
white people are going to get.
NIGGERBOY: Do you think
you're entitled to speak for white people?
ROCKWELL: Malcolm X said
the same thing I'm saying.
NIGGERBOY: He certainly
was in no position to speak for white people.
ROCKWELL: Well, I think
I am speaking for the majority of whites when I say that race mixing
just isn't going to work. I think, therefore, that we should take
the billions of dollars now being wasted on foreign aid to Communist
countries which hate us and give that money to our own niggers to
build their own civilized nation in Africa.
NIGGERBOY: Apart from
the fact that Africa is already spoken for territorially by sovereign
nations, all but a few of the 20,000,000 Negroes in this country
are native-born Americans who have just as much right to remain
here as you do, Commander.
ROCKWELL: That's not
my point. When two people prove incompatible in marriage and they
can't live together, they separate; and the mass of average niggers
simply don't "fit" in modern American society. A leopard
doesn't change his spots just because you bring him in from the
jungle and try to housebreak him and turn him into a pet. He may
learn to sheathe his claws in order to beg a few scraps off the
dinner table, and you may teach him to be a beast of burden, but
it doesn't pay to forget that he'll al ways be what he was born:
a wild animal.
NIGGERBOY: We're talking
about human beings, not animals.
ROCKWELL: We're talking
about niggers and there's no doubt in my mind that they're basically
animalistic.
NIGGERBOY: In what way?
ROCKWELL: Spiritually.
Our white kids are being perverted, like Pavlov's dogs, by conditioned-reflex
training. For instance, every time a white kid is getting a piece
of ass, the car radio is blaring nigger bebop. Under such powerful
stimuli, it's not long before a kid begins unconsciously to connect
these savage sounds with intense pleasure and thus transfers his
natural pleasurable reactions in sex to an unnatural love of the
chaotic and animalistic nigger music, which destroys a love of order
and real beauty among our kids. This is how you niggers corrupt
our white kids -- without even laying a dirty hand on them. Not
that you wouldn't like to.
NIGGERBOY: It's sometimes
the other way around, Commander.
ROCKWELL: Well, I'll
have to admit one great failing of my own people: The white man
is getting too soft. The niggers are forced to do hard manual labor,
and as a result, most nigger bucks are healthy animals -- rugged
and tough, the way nature intended a male to be. When you take a
look at how the average, bourgeois white man spends his time, though
hunched over a desk, going to the ballet, riding around on his electric
lawn mower or squatting on his fur-lined toilet seat you can't help
but observe how soft and squishy a lot of white men allow them selves
to become; especially some of the skinny, pasty-faced white peace
creeps with their long hair, their fairy-looking clothes and the
big yellow stripe up their spineless back. What normal woman would
want one of these cruds? Unfortunately, some of our white women,
especially in the crazy leftist environment on our college campuses,
get carried away by Jewish propaganda into betraying their own instincts
by choosing a healthy black buck instead of one of these skinny,
pansified white peace creeps who swarm on our college campuses.
NIGGERBOY: Are you implying
that the Negro male is sexually superior to the white man?
ROCKWELL: Certainly not.
The average white workingman, the vast majority of white men, are
just as tough and ballsy as any nigger who ever lived. It's the
white intellectuals who have allowed themselves to be degenerate
physically, mentally and especially spiritually, until I am forced
to admit that a healthy nigger garbage man is certainly superior
physically and sexually to a pasty-faced skinny white peace creep.
NIGGERBOY: Do you consider
Negroes superior to white men in any other way?
ROCKWELL: On the contrary
-- I consider them inferior to the white man in every other way.
NIGGERBOY: That's a fairly
sweeping generalization. Can you document it?
ROCKWELL: When I speak
at colleges, they often ask me the same question. I always answer
with a question of my own: How do colleges determine the superior
and inferior students? By performance, that's how! Look at history;
investigate the different races. The Chinese perform -- they've
created a great civilization. All the white races certainly perform.
But the nigger race, until very recently, has done absolutely nothing.
NIGGERBOY: How recently?
ROCKWELL: The past 20
or 30 years.
NIGGERBOY: What about
the contribution of those millions of African Negroes and their
descendants -- along with that of migrants of every color from all
over the world -- who helped found and build this country?
ROCKWELL: I don't dismiss
it, but the fact is that any contribution of the niggers has been
almost entirely manual and menial. Horses could have done most of
it, or well-trained monkeys from the same trees they were flushed
out of back in Africa. They've picked up a few more tricks since
then -- but only what they've learned from the white man.
NIGGERBOY: Recent archaeological
findings have documented the existence of advanced black African
civilizations centuries before the dawn of comparable cultures in
Europe.
ROCKWELL: If they were
so far ahead of us then, why are they still shooting blow darts
at each other while we're launching rockets to the moon?
NIGGERBOY: The American
space program isn't a segregated project, Commander. There are many
Negroes working for NASA and in the space industry.
ROCKWELL: This only proves
my point. A few niggers, like trained chimpanzees, have been pushed
and jammed into such things as the space program by our race mixing
Presidents and the Federal Government; but niggers didn't originate
any of the ideas or develop the fantastic organizations capable
of putting men into space. The niggers in NASA are like chimpanzees
who have learned to ride bicycles. A few trained monkeys riding
bicycles doesn't prove that chimpanzees could invent or build or
even think about a bicycle. The fact is that the average nigger
is not as intelligent as the average white man.
NIGGERBOY: There's no
genetic or anthropological evidence to substantiate that.
ROCKWELL: I know you're
going to say you can show me thousands of intelligent niggers and
stupid white men. I'm well aware that there are exceptions on both
sides. All I'm saying is that the average of your people is below
the average of my people; and the pure-black ones are even further
below us. I have living evidence of this sitting right in front
of me.
NIGGERBOY: If you mean
me, I'm far from pure black -- as you can see.
ROCKWELL: That's just
it: You're an intelligent person; I enjoy talking to you. But, you're
not pure black like your ancestors in the Congo. Now, this may insult
you, but we're not here to throw pansies at each other: There had
to be some white people in your background somewhere, or you wouldn't
be brown instead of black. Right?
NIGGERBOY: Right.
ROCKWELL: Well, I'm saying
that your intelligence comes from the blood of my people. Whenever
they trot out some smart nigger and say, "See? Look how brilliant
niggers are," what they usually show you is a part-white man
with some nigger blood in him. This doesn't prove that niggers are
great. On the contrary; it proves that white blood can make a part-nigger
more intelligent.
NIGGERBOY: That's not
proof, Commander. Can you offer any authoritative documentation
to support your view?
ROCKWELL: A psychologist
named G.O. Ferguson made a definitive study of the connection between
the amount of white blood and intelligence in niggers. He tested
all the nigger school children in Virginia and proved that the pure
black niggers did only about 70 percent as well as the white children.
Niggers with one white grandparent did about 75 percent as well
as the white children. Niggers with two white grandparents did still
better, and niggers with three white grandparents did almost as
well as the white kids. Since all of these nigger children shared
exactly the same environment as niggers, it's impossible to claim
that environment produced these tremendous changes in performance.
[Ferguson's study, conducted
in 1916, we later learned, has since been discredited by every major
authority on genetics and anthropology; they call it a pseudoscientific
rationale for racism, based on an inadequate and unrepresentative
sampling, predicated on erroneous assumptions, and statistically
loaded to prove its point.-Ed.]
NIGGERBOY: In his book
A Profile of the Negro American, the world-famed sociologist T.F.
Pettigrew states flatly that the degree of white ancestry does not
relate in any way to Negro I.Q. scores. According to Pettigrew,
the brightest Negro yet reported -- with a tested I.Q. of 200 --
had no traceable Caucasian heritage whatever.
ROCKWELL: The fact that
you can show me one very black individual who is superior to me
doesn't convince me that the average nigger is superior. The startling
fact I see is that the lighter they are, the smarter they are, and
the blacker they are, the dumber they are.
NIGGERBOY: That's an
opinion, Commander, not a fact. Can you back it up with any concrete
evidence?
ROCKWELL: The evidence
of lifelong experience. I've never met a black nigger I mean a real
black one, so black he looks purple -- that can talk, and think
as, say, you can. When I do, then maybe I'll change my opinion.
All the really black niggers, are either what you call Uncle Toms,
or they're revolutionists, or they just want to loaf, loot and rape.
NIGGERBOY: Most sociologists
would agree that the vast majority of Negroes -- dark skinned or
otherwise -- don't fit into any of those categories.
ROCKWELL: Like I said,
there are always exceptions -- but everybody knows that they prove
the rule. Evolution shows that in the long run, if the superior
mixes with the inferior, the product is halfway between, and inferior
to what you started with in the original superior group -- in other
words, mongrelized.
NIGGERBOY: The words
superior and inferior have no meaning to geneticists, Commander
-- and neither does mongrelization. Every authority in the field
has attested that the world's racial groups are genetically indistinguishable
from one another. All men, in other words including hybrids -- are
created equal.
ROCKWELL: You're bringing
tears to my eyes. Don't you know that all this equality garbage
was started by a Jew anthropologist named Franz Boas from Columbia
University? Boas was followed by an other Jew from Columbia named
Gene Weltfish. And our present Jew expert preaching equality is
another Jew named Ashley Montagu. Any anthropologist who dares to
preach the facts known by any farmer in the barnyard that breeds
differ in quality are simply not allowed to survive in the universities
or in publishing, because he can't earn a living. You never hear
from that side.
But Carleton Putnam has
written a wonderful book called Race and Reason, showing that there
is plenty of scholarly evidence to back up my contention that the
nigger race is inherently inferior to the white race intellectually.
[Putnam, a former president of Delta Airlines, has no academic credentials
in sociology, anthropology or genetics. Explaining its "Not
Recommended" classification for his book -- fully titled Race
and Reason: A Yankee View -- Book Review Digest writes: "At
no time does the author show himself qualified to speak as a scientist.
"-Ed.] This equality garbage is straight Soviet, Lysenkian
biology direct from the Communist Lysenko, who preached that by
changing the environment you could grow one plant from another plant's
seeds. This is the doctrine that's destroying our society -- cause
it's not true. You can't grow from corn by changing the environment.
NIGGERBOY: You can't
grow wheat from corn by changing anything. In any case, we're discussing
human beings, not foodstuffs.
ROCKWELL: I don't feel
like quibbling. What I'm saying is that I believe the Jews have
consciously perverted the study of anthropology and biology and
but genetics in order to reach this phoney conclusion -- and thus
destroy the great white race.
NIGGERBOY: What phony
conclusion?
ROCKWELL: The totally
erroneous notion that heredity has nothing to do with why, for example,
the niggers have lower scholastic averages and higher illegitimacy
rates than whites.
NIGGERBOY: According
to geneticists, it doesn't. In any case, how would acceptance of
this notion lead to the destruction of the white race?
ROCKWELL: By deluding
people into believing that the nigger is only "underprivileged"
rather than inherently inferior; into believing, therefore, that
he can be cleaned up and smartened up by letting him eat in our
restaurants, study in our schools, move into our neighborhoods.
The next inevitable step is to take him into our beds -- and this
would lead to the mongrelization, and hence the destruction, of
the white race.
NIGGERBOY: You said that
the Jews are behind this plot. Since they're whites themselves,
how would they benefit from their own destruction?
ROCKWELL: They won't
be mingling like the rest of us. They believe they're too pure to
mix; they think they're "the chosen people" -- chosen
to rule the world. But the only world they could rule would be a
world of inferior beings. And as long as the white man is pure,
they cannot succeed. But when the white man permits himself to be
mixed with black men, then the Jews can master him.
NIGGERBOY: How?
ROCKWELL: They already
run the niggers. Except for the Black Muslims, the Jews run practically
all the big civil rights organizations.
NIGGERBOY: You're misinformed,
Commander. The key posts in all but one of the major civil rights
groups -- the NAACP -- are held entirely by Negroes.
ROCKWELL: They're just
the front men. The Jews operate behind the scenes, pulling the strings
and holding the moneybags.
NIGGERBOY: The Jews who
belong and contribute to these groups serve strictly in an advisory
capacity.
ROCKWELL: You're misinformed.
As I started to say, Jews want to run the white people just the
way they run the niggers. Once they get the white people mixed with
the black people, the white people will be just as easy to run as
the niggers.
NIGGERBOY: Why?
ROCKWELL: Because when
you mix superior and inferior, like I told you, the product is inferior
-- halfway between the two. The Jews would be able to outwit and
outmaneuver and thus manipulate the mongrelized white man just the
way he already does the niggers. That's what the whole so-called
civil rights movement is all about; and they're just liable to get
away with it if the good white Christians of this country don't
wake up and get together before it's too late to restore the natural
order of things.
NIGGERBOY: And what's
that?
ROCKWELL: Separation.
In nature, all things of a similar being tend to group together.
Chimpanzees do not run with baboons; they run with chimpanzees.
This is the natural order of people, too. Even in thoroughly integrated
colleges, when I visit them, I notice that niggers usually sit and
eat at tables with other niggers -- even though they don't have
to. And the white people sit with other white people. I think this
is the natural tendency, and to attempt to pervert this is to fight
nature.
NIGGERBOY: You fail to
make an important moral and constitutional distinction between choosing
to associate with one's own race and being forced to do so. Left
to themselves, some people will mingle and some won't; and most
Americans think this is just the way it ought to be.
ROCKWELL: That's all
very noble sounding; it brings a lump to my throat. But what does
it boil down to in practice? Every time your people move into my
neighborhood, the white people move out; and often there's violence
-- by peaceful, decent white men who never before committed any,
but are outraged at the black invasion.
NIGGERBOY: That's an
exaggeration, Commander. The record shows that fewer and fewer white
people are moving out when Negroes move into white neighborhoods;
and the fact is that violence very seldom occurs because of Negro
"block-busting." In most instances, after an initial period
of strain, the newcomers are being quietly accepted.
ROCKWELL: I don't know
what neighborhoods you've been hanging around in, but my own experience
has been that violence and animosity are the rule rather than the
exception. And that goes double when one of my guys moves into a
place like Watts. Your people don't just riot; they try to kill
him. This is natural. Their instincts are coming out, and they always
will. And any effort to override these instincts, or deny they exist,
will inevitably be unsuccessful. Nature will prevail.
NIGGERBOY: Negro hostility
toward Nazis could hardly be offered as proof that integration is
unnatural. Nor is anti-Nazi violence confined to Negroes.
ROCKWELL: You're right
-- the Jews are even better at it.
NIGGERBOY: You've been
quoted as saying that the Watts, Harlem and Rochester riots, among
others, were actually instigated by Jews. Do you have any evidence
to substantiate that charge?
ROCKWELL: I didn't say
they started them; I said they engineered them. First of all, they
tell the niggers, "You people don't have to obey the laws you
don't like" just like Martin Luther Coon preaches. If a cop
arrests a nigger, it's "police brutality." And he's told
he should fight back. Whenever a policeman tries to do his duty,
the Jew-oriented niggers have been told to try and take the prisoner
away from this brutal cop. The Jews turn him into a psychological
bomb -- so that when a cop comes along and does his duty it's just
like touching a match to a fuse. Boom -- up it goes! Like it did
in Watts. Like they do in Harlem.
NIGGERBOY: In both the
Watts and Harlem riots, the bulk of the property damage was suffered
by Jewish-owned stores and businesses. Why would the Jews foment
violence that's bound to result in the destruction of their own
property?
ROCKWELL: It just happens
that most of the businessmen making money off the niggers in the
ghettos are Jews. The big Jews in charge are willing to sacrifice
the little Jews just as a general sacrifices some troops to win
a war.
NIGGERBOY: But what could
any Jews possibly win by engineering riots?
ROCKWELL: They're just
natural-born agitators. They just can't help coming in and getting
everybody all stirred up and they're always the ones to suffer for
it. Every time! But they just can't quit. It's irrational as hell.
With all their liberalism and their preaching about equal rights
for niggers, they've promoted disorder and chaos that's eventually
going to bury them. The liquor dealers are getting it now. Last
summer, all those kike store owners in Watts kept screaming, "Oy!
Stop! Listen! We're your friends! " -- while the coons beat
their brains out. And that's just the beginning, just a sample of
things to come. This summer I predict that racial violence even
more terrible than Watts will erupt -- all because of these two
trouble-making inferior races.
NIGGERBOY: In judging
Negroes "inferior" to whites, you said a while ago that
you made this appraisal on the basis of "performance."
Do you find Jews inferior for the same reason?
ROCKWELL: I've never
accused the Jews of being incapable of performing. As a matter of
fact, I think there's a good chance they're superior to everybody
else in terms of actual mental capabilities. I think the average
Jew is probably sharper intellectually than the average gentile,
because for years and years he's had to live by his wits. Consequently,
there has evolved a race of Jews who are more agile mentally than
the rest of us.
NIGGERBOY: In what way
do you consider Jews inferior, then?
ROCKWELL: Spiritually.
I believe that a human being, in order to be a successful person,
in addition to performing -- inventing a rocket or something --
has got to have something he believes in, some thing more than his
own survival, some thing that's a little bigger than himself. The
Jews don't. They've even got a rabbi now who admits he's an atheist
Rabbi Sherwin Wine of Birmingham, Michigan.
NIGGERBOY: Perhaps you
didn't know that the current Church movement toward disbelief in
God originated among the Protestant clergy. In any case, Rabbi Wine's
convictions are a minority voice and could not in any way be said
to represent those of the Jewish faith in general. Most Jews continue
to believe in God, as set down in the Torah.
ROCKWELL: Jews talk a
lot about God. But actually their god, just like Marx said, is money.
Cash! This is where the Jews fail -- in their lack of idealism.
Most of them are strictly materialists at heart. Wherever the Jews
have gone, they've moved into a friendly, unsuspecting country and
promptly started to glut on its people and resources. They think
they're engaging in business, but actually what they're doing is
eating the country up alive. And when people begin to resent their
viciousness and greed, and either kick the Jews out or kill them,
they always scream "Persecution!" That's not persecution.
It's self-defense.
NIGGERBOY: Are you implying
that Hitler was justified in exterminating 6,000,000 European Jews?
ROCKWELL: I don't believe
for one minute that any 6,000,000 Jews were exterminated by Hitler.
It never happened. You want me to prove it to you?
NIGGERBOY: Go ahead.
ROCKWELL: We have the
figures for the number of Jews in the world in 1939, before World
War Two: 15,688,259; and the figures for the number living after
World War Two: 18,000,000. Now, if you take the number of Jews for
after World War Two -- and add the 6,000,000 you say were gassed,
you get a total of 24,000,000 -- which means that there would have
to have been a 50-percent increase in the Jewish population during
a period of about five years. Even people as good at sex as the
Jews couldn't possibly reproduce that fast. So you see, the Jews'
own figures convict them as liars!
NIGGERBOY: What's your
source for these statistics?
ROCKWELL: The pre-War
figures came from the 1947 World Almanac, page 219; and the post-War
figures from The New York Times, February 22, 1948, in an article
by Hanson Baldwin.
[Subsequent investigation
revealed that the World Almanac figure of 15,688,259 is correct
as claimed. The post-War figures cited by Hanson Baldwin in The
New York Times were in the following context: "In these countries
(Palestine and Egypt), the Jews are tied by bonds of religion to
the rest of the 15 to 18 million Jews of the world." According
to every official source, however, Baldwin's estimates are in error.
The figures compiled by the Population Reference Bureau in Washington,
D. C., show that the world's Jewish population declined from 16,600,000
to 11,400,000 between 1939 and 1945 -- while European Jewry decreased
6,000,000 during that same period, from 9,700,000 to 3,700,000.
-Ed.]
NIGGERBOY: Population
figures aside, do you deny the validity of documentary photographic
evidence showing the gas chambers themselves, and the thousands
of bodies piled up in concentration camp trenches?
ROCKWELL: I emphatically
deny that there is any valid proof that innocent Jews were systematically
murdered by the Nazis. The photographs you've seen that have been
passed off as pictures of dead Jews have been identified as pictures
of the corpses of German civilians -- mostly women and children
and refugees who were killed in the one-night Allied bombing of
Dresden, which slaughtered 350,000 innocent people.
NIGGERBOY: By whom have
these pictures been so identified?
ROCKWELL: By Matt Koehl,
my research chief, who says that you can recognize the buildings
in the background of these so-called Nazi atrocity photographs as
buildings in Dresden.
NIGGERBOY: We don't accept
the findings of your research chief as authoritative.
ROCKWELL: I have conclusive
evidence to prove that some of these "documentary" photographs
are frauds, pure and simple. In a magazine published by the Jews
and sold all over America, they show a bottle supposedly containing
soap made by the Germans out of the poor, dead, gassed Jews.
NIGGERBOY: What evidence
do you have for claiming that it's fraudulent?
ROCKWELL: Common sense.
That soap could have been made out of anything; it could have been
melted down from a dozen bars of Lifebuoy. But here's my ultimate
proof of just how utterly ridiculous all the anti-Nazi literature
you've read really is: an article in Sir magazine, March 1958, on
how the Nazis gassed and burned and murdered everybody. It's by
"a former corporal of the SS" as told to an American Army
master sergeant who signs himself "Lew Cor." Well, "Lew
Cor" is simply Rockwell spelled backward. I wrote it myself
-- as a test. I wrote the vilest lies I could think of! And here
they all are in print in this magazine. Look at the photographs!
These are supposed to be actual shots of Nazi victims mentioned
in the article -- victims that I invented!
NIGGERBOY: Your own willingness
to lie about Nazi atrocities doesn't prove that the Jews have done
the same thing, Commander. Do you also dismiss the testimony of
hundreds of prison camp survivors who have given eyewitness testimony
about Nazi atrocities?
ROCKWELL: I have an affidavit
from a Jewish doctor, a prisoner at Auschwitz, who says there were
no gas chambers.
NIGGERBOY: Do you have
that affidavit?
ROCKWELL: I'll send you
a photostat. [It has not arrived.-Ed.] I believe the gas chambers
in these concentration camps were built after the War -- by Jewish
Army officers. We know this for sure: It was mostly Jewish Army
officers who went in there to liberate these camps. And it was mostly
Jewish Army CIC officers who were in charge of the Nuremberg trials.
It was they who tortured innocent Nazis using any kind of vile method
they could to cook up phony evidence.
NIGGERBOY: Can you prove
these charges?
ROCKWELL: I know of several
cases where American personnel resigned in disgust at the methods
used.
NIGGERBOY: That doesn't
prove that torture was used to extract false testimony. In any case,
you still haven't said whether you dismiss eyewitness testimony
of Nazi atrocities.
ROCKWELL: Certainly I
do. I've lost count of the times I've been in court, after being
assaulted and beaten by gangs of Jews, and seen these same Jews
get up on the witness stand, with tears pouring down their faces,
and tell how I attacked them! The Jews are the world's master liars!
They are geniuses at it. Why, when a kike is up on a witness stand,
he doesn't even need onions to start the tears pouring.
NIGGERBOY: It's said
that you keep a model gas chamber here at your headquarters. Is
that true?
ROCKWELL: No, but we
have an electric chair at Sing Sing that's already done a great
deed for America in frying the Rosenbergs; and there are hundreds
of thousands more Rosenbergs running around America who need frying
-- or gassing.
NIGGERBOY: By "more
Rosenbergs," do you mean more Jews or more Communist spies?
ROCKWELL: More Communist
Jews. They're practically the same thing.
NIGGERBOY: Are you saying
that many Jews are Communists, or that many Communists are Jewish?
ROCKWELL: I use the term
"Communist Jews" in exactly the same sense that I would
say "Italian gangsters." Most Italians are not gangsters,
but everybody knows that the Mafia is mostly Italians. Well, my
experience is that communism is as Jewish as the Mafia is Italian.
It's a fact that almost all of the convicted spies for communism
have been atheist Jews like the Rosenbergs. And international communism
was invented by the Jew Karl Marx and has since been led mostly
by Jews -- like Trotsky.
NIGGERBOY: Stalin, Khrushchev,
Brezhnev, Kosygin and Mao Tse-tung, among many others, certainly
aren't Jews.
ROCKWELL: The Jews operate
nowadays mostly as spies and agitators for the Reds. Mind you, I'm
not saying that there aren't vast numbers of Jews who despise communism.
NIGGERBOY: Yet you say
there are hundreds of thousands of Jewish Communists in America?
ROCKWELL: Perhaps more.
NIGGERBOY: What evidence
do you have to back up that figure?
ROCKWELL: Plain statistics.
Fourteen of the 16 Americans convicted in U.S. courts of treason
as Communist spies have been racial Jews and one of them was a nigger.
Of the 21 Communist leaders convicted in judge Medina's court, 19
were racial Jews. Of the so-called "second-string Politburo"
Communist leaders rounded up, more than 90 per cent were racial
Jews.
NIGGERBOY: The total
number of convicted spies who you say are Jewish comes to 33. That's
far from hundreds of thousands.
ROCKWELL: There's also
evidence in black and white. Even in their own publications, the
Jews do not hide from the Jewishness of communism. It's there for
anybody to see. For instance, the largest circulation Communist
newspaper in America is not The Worker, but a paper published in
Yiddish called The Morning Freiheit. Any American can get a copy
of this Jewish Communist newspaper and read, in the English portions,
the open Communist treason they're preaching.
NIGGERBOY: The views
of The Morning Freiheit certainly can't be said to reflect those
of most American Jews, Commander. Can you give a specific example
of a pro-Marxist statement by any recognized spokesman for American
Jewry?
ROCKWELL: Just one? That's
easy. Let's take a statement made by Rabbi Stephen Wise; he's one
of the leading spokesmen for American Jewry.
NIGGERBOY: He died in
1949.
ROCKWELL: Well, before
he died, he wrote, "Some call it communism; I call it Judaism."
That's a direct quote. I'd say that's putting it pretty unequivocally,
wouldn't you?
NIGGERBOY: Can you produce
proof of that statement?
ROCKWELL: Certainly.
I'lL send it to you.
[The proof has not arrived,
nor was Commander Rockwell able to tell us the name of the publication
in which the alleged statement appeared. An official at Manhattan's
Hebrew Union College, where Rabbi Wise's entire works are kept in
archive, later said that no such statement appears anywhere in the
late rabbi's writings. Rabbi Edward Kline, Wise's successor at New
York's Free Synagogue, told us further that no such quote appears
in any of Wise's speeches; nor could he, as a lifelong foe of communism,
said Kline, have been capable of making such a remark. Confronted
with this evidence, Rockwell later retracted the allegation.-Ed]
NIGGERBOY: Do you have
any tangible evidence to substantiate your charges?
ROCKWELL: Would you accept
evidence based on a statistical sampling?
NIGGERBOY: Let's hear
it.
ROCKWELL: Out of the
number of Jews that I have known personally, a tremendous proportion
-- at least 50 percent, maybe as high as 85 or 90 percent -- have
been pro-Red; either card-carrying Communists or accessories before
or after the fact, either openly and knowingly aiding and abetting
communism and promoting the Communist overthrow of this Government,
or assisting the Communist enemies who are killing Americans, or
consciously suppressing legal evidence which would tend to convict
such traitors.
NIGGERBOY: Your own conjectures
about the political sympathies of Jews you've known personally,
Commander, could hardly be accepted as evidence to support your
allegations about them, let alone the "hundreds of thousands"
you say are pro-Red. In any case, you say they "need frying-or
gassing." On what grounds?
ROCKWELL: Treason. Everybody
-- not just Jews -- with suspicious records of pro communism, or
treasonable Zionism, or any subversive attack on this country or
its people, should be investigated and arrested and the evidence
placed before a grand jury. If they're indicted, they should be
tried for treason, and if they're convicted, they should be killed.
NIGGERBOY: How?
ROCKWELL: Well, there
are going to be hundreds of thousands of Jewish traitors to execute,
don't forget. I don't see how you can strap that many people in
electric chairs and get the job done before they all die of old
age; so it seems to me that mass gas chambers are going to be the
only solution for the Communist traitor problem in America.
NIGGERBOY: Your suggestion
of gas chambers as a "solution for the Communist traitor problem"
is reminiscent of the "final solution for the Jewish problem"
instituted by the Nazis in Germany. Are you planning to lead another
anti-Semitic crusade along the lines laid down by Hitler?
ROCKWELL: The crusade
I plan to lead will be much broader in scope than that. In Germany,
Hitler produced a local "lab experiment"; he provided
me with an ideology in the same way that Marx provided one for Lenin.
My task is to turn this ideology into a world movement. And I'll
never be able to accomplish that by preaching pure Aryanism as Hitler
did -- by glorifying the Nordic Germanic people as a "master
race." There is an easily identifiable master race, however:
the white race. You can find it all over the world. This is what
I'm fighting for -- not Aryanism, but white Christian solidarity.
In the long run, I intend to win over the people of Greece, of Germany,
of Italy, of England, of Canada, of France, of Spain, of Latin America,
of Rhodesia, of South Africa the people of every white Christian
country in the world. All the white Christian countries of the earth
I would try to mold into one racial, religious, political and military
entity. I want them eventually to have hegemony.
NIGGERBOY: Over the nonwhite,
non-Christian nations?
ROCKWELL: Over the Afro-Asian
bloc, which is to me the ultimate danger the earth faces. Worse
than the bomb! These people have something both communism and democracy
have lost. They're fanatics! They're full of this wild-eyed belief
and vitality that the white man has gradually been losing. If they
ever unite, there will be almost a billion of them against the white
man -- a ratio of seven to one. They're breeding so fast that the
odds could easily be ten or fifteen to one before too long. When
these billions of primitive colored people are able to control an
atom or an H-bomb, as Red China may soon be able to do, we could
wipe out a hundred million of them, and there would still be plenty
more who kept coming. The white race couldn't take that kind of
a blood letting for long. We'd be wiped out! The huge masses of
semi-animal colored people would simply sweep over us, and there'd
be nothing we could do about it. It would be the ultimate victory
of quantity over quality -- unless the white people unite first.
We're in real trouble if they get together first. But make no mistake:
There's going to be a battle of Armageddon, and it's going to be
not between communism and democracy, but between the colored millions
of the world and the small but elite corps of white men; ideological,
economic and philosophical issues will play little or no part in
it. When the time comes -- and it's later than we think -- I plan
to be ready not only to defend myself, but to lead the millions
of whites all over the world who today are foolishly pretending
they don't know what's going on.
NIGGERBOY: Estimates
of your nationwide membership range from 25 to 100. Do you propose
to lead the white Christian nations with this handful of followers?
ROCKWELL: In the first
place, we're a world movement, just as communism is a world movement
rather than a local or national organization. We've launched world
union of National Socialists, of which I am the international commander.
In the second place, you've got those figures wrong. In this country
alone, we've got about 500 storm troopers -- that's men ready for
street action -- plus about 1500 Party members. Also about 15,000
correspondents -- people sympathetic to our cause who write in and
donate. And our membership abroad numbers in the thousands.
NIGGERBOY: Where abroad?
ROCKWELL: Let me name
you countries. Argentina: Horst Eichmann, Adolf Eichmann's son,
is our leader there; he's either in jail or disappeared, but our
movement is growing there. In Australia, our movement is temporarily
busted up, but my leader -- an American -- is running around undercover,
trying to get his group back together again. In Spain, we've got
a pretty good undercover movement, but Franco doesn't appreciate
it, so we have to stay under cover. In England, Colin Jordan is
operating wide open -- and doing very well. In France, we've got
a damned good group; they were all arrested just a while back. In
Belgium, I've got an ex-SS paratrooper in charge, and he's doing
very well. In Sweden, we've got a tremendous group; they were all
just arrested. In Austria -- our guy is in jail, so things are pretty
well broken up there. In Canada, John Beattie is leading a tremendous
and successful movement. Our leader in Chile is in jail, In Germany,
we've gone undercover; our leader is going to jail shortly. In Holland,
we're doing fine. In Ireland, they're coming along fast. In Italy,
we've got a real tremendous movement. In Japan, one of our guys
stabbed the Socialist deputy. Remember? New Zealand is coming along
fine. But Norway isn't doing too good. We've a fine group in South
Africa now, though, and we've got a group in Rhodesia now, too.
So you see, we've got groups all over the world. They're still little.
But after all, it's only been 20 years since Hitler died. Twenty
years after Christ was crucified, there were almost no Christians.
Right now, the followers of the swastika are in the catacombs, like
the original followers of the cross were then. I can't say we're
a Christian movement in the ordinary sense; in fact, I personally
am an agnostic. But I deeply believe that there is a power greater
than ours that's helping us in our fight to keep the world natural
and racially pure -- as opposed to perverted and mongrelized. We've
got an ideology, a dedication, a belief, a vitality to match the
zealotry of the fanatical Asian-African bloc. That's why we're going
to grow; that's why-eventually we're going to prevail.
NIGGERBOY: Can you tell
us just how you plan to go about fulfilling this destiny with or
without divine intervention?
ROCKWELL: I have a four-phase
plan. The first phase is to reach the masses; you can do nothing
until you've reached the masses. In order to reach them without
money, without status, without a public platform -- you have to
be come a dramatic figure. Now in order to achieve that, I've had
to take a lot of garbage: being called a nut and a monster and everything
else. But by hanging up the swastika, I reach the masses. The second
phase is to disabuse them of the false picture they have gotten
of me, to educate them about what my real program is. The third
phase will be to organize the people I've educated into a political
entity. And the fourth phase will be to use that political entity
as a machine to win political power.
That's the plan. They
all overlap, of course. Right now we're about 50 percent involved
in phase two; we're actually beginning to educate people -- in interviews
like this one, in speaking engagements at colleges and the like.
The other 50 percent is still phase one -- just raising hell to
keep people aware that there's such a thing as the American Nazi
Party, not caring what they call us, as long as they call us something.
NIGGERBOY: What kind
of hell-raising?
ROCKWELL: Well, I haven't
done it yet but one of my ambitions is to rent me a plane and skywrite
a big smoke swastika and fly over New York City -- on Hitler's birthday.
That sort of thing. Or I might get one plane to do the Star of David,
and I'll come in another plane and squat and do brown smoke all
over it - on Ben Gurion's birthday. I've checked Federal regulations,
and they couldn't do a thing about it. All I need is the money to
do it. But that's in the future. One of the biggest things we've
already done to propagandize ourselves is our "Coon-ard Lines
Boat Tickets to Africa." It's our most popular mail-order item;
white high school students order them by the thousands. Would you
like me to read you what a ticket entitles one nigger to?
NIGGERBOY: Go ahead.
ROCKWELL: Six things.
One: a free trip to Africa on a Cadillac-shaped luxury liner, Two:
choice cuts of all the bananas and missionaries desired en route,
and a free jar of meat tenderizer. NAACP members may sit up front
and twist to Martin Luther Coon's jazz band. Three: a barrel of
hair-grease axle grease delicately scented with nigger sweat. Four:
a framed picture of Eleanor Roosevelt and Harry Golden. Five: an
unguarded chicken coop and watermelon patch on deck, plus fish and
chips for breakfast. And six: plenty of wine, marijuana, heroin
and other refreshments. And six: On the reverse side, we offer white
liberal peace creeps a year's supply of "Instant Nigger."
It's described as "Easy-mixing powder! just sprinkle this dingy
black dust on any sidewalk, just make water on it, and presto! Hundreds
of niggers spring up -- little niggers, big niggers, fat niggers,
skinny niggers, light niggers, midnight-black niggers, red niggers,
even Jew niggers." It reads here, "Why wait? With this
Instant Nigger Powder, any nigger-loving beatnik peace creep can
have all the niggers he can stand!" Want one? Compliments of
the house.
NIGGERBOY: Is mail-order
hate literature your main source of income?
ROCKWELL: That, plus
initiation fees from new members; plus small donations from those
who believe in what we're trying to do; plus the proceeds from special
events like one of our "hate-nannies."
NIGGERBOY: What are they?
ROCKWELL: Big musical
jamborees. We hold them on patriotic holidays.
NIGGERBOY: Would you
give an example of a hate-nanny lyric?
ROCKWELL: Sure. Remember,
you asked for it: "Ring that bell, shout for joy ... white
man's day is here ... Gather all those equals up ... Herd them on
the pier ... America for whites ... Africa for blacks ... Send those
apes back to the trees ... Ship those niggers back ... Twenty million
ugly coons are ready on their pier ... America for whites ... Africa
for blacks ... Ring that bell, shout for joy ... The white man's
day is here ... Hand that chimp his ugly stick ... Hand that buck
his spear ..." That's just the first part of that song. Do
you want to hear more of it?
NIGGERBOY: No, we get
the general idea.
ROCKWELL: Well, I believe
a man ought to hoist up his flag and tell you what he is. And that's
just what we do here.
NIGGERBOY: Are there
any anti-Jewish ballads in your hate-nanny song bag?
ROCKWELL: Oh, yes! One
of our favorites is The Jews Are Through in '72. It goes to the
tune of Mademoiselle from Armentieres. Want to hear it?
NIGGERBOY: We'll listen.
ROCKWELL: "The Jews
are through in '72, parlez-vous ... The Jews are through in '72,
parlez-vous ... We'll feed them bacon till they yell ... And send
them all to kosher hell ... Hinky dinky, parlez-vous ..." The
chorus repeats, and then comes the next verse: "We'll steal
the rabbi's knife and sheath ... And make him do it with his teeth
... Hinky dinky, parlez-vous." The rest of it I don't remember.
NIGGERBOY: The song says
the Jews will be "through in '72." Is that date significant
in some way?
ROCKWELL: 1972 is the
year I'm going to be elected President on the National Socialist
ticket. Five years of the Johnson Administration will leave the
country so torn with racial tensions that some Republican will be
a cinch to win in 1968. Then, in 1969, a great economic catastrophe
is going to hit this country.
NIGGERBOY: The nation's
economy has never been healthier than it is today, and most economists
predict that the end of the boom is not in sight.
ROCKWELL: Nevertheless,
there will be an economic catastrophe, though of what nature I'm
not sure. It could be an inflation. I say so because all this build-up
is based on sand. America's so-called prosperity is based on debt,
war and inflationary money which has no backing and is bound to
collapse. Along about 1969, it's all going to come tumbling down
like a house of cards, and the President is going to be blamed for
it. In the ensuing economic chaos, plus all the racial warfare,
the people will welcome a man who stands unequivocally for the white
Christian majority.
NIGGERBOY: What makes
you think so?
ROCKWELL: As I travel,
I find that people everywhere, from the smallest towns to the biggest
cities, are looking for what I offer. Most of them won't agree with
me openly, but if you take them aside, ask them privately, they'd
probably tell you "Rockwell has the right idea: white Christian
people should dominate." By 1972, with the economy coming apart
at the seams, with the niggers pushing, with the Communists agitating,
with all of this spiritual emptiness, with all this cowardice and
betrayal by our Government, the masses of common, ordinary white
people will have had it up to here. They'll want a real leader in
the white House -- no more spineless jellyfish, no more oily, two
faced demagogues, no more queers in the white House like Walter
Jenkins and his friends. They'll be looking for a white leader with
the guts of a Malcolm X, with the guts to stand up and say, "I'm
going to completely separate the black and white races and preserve
white Christian domination in this country, and I'm going to have
the Jew Communists and any other traitors gassed for treason. And
if you don't like it, you know what you can do about it."
NIGGERBOY: Do you seriously
think you can be elected on that platform?
ROCKWELL: I know so.
Things are going to be so desperate by then that it won't matter
whether I've got two horns and a tail; I'll be swept into office.
NIGGERBOY: If you are
elected, who from among contemporary public figures would you appoint
to your Cabinet?
ROCKWELL: If he were
still alive, I'd have General Douglas MacArthur as Secretary of
State. For Secretary of Defense, Retired General of the Marine Corps
"Chesty" Puller. For Attorney General, J. Edgar Hoover.
For Secretary of the Interior, Governor George Wallace of Alabama.
Let me think, now, others: Senators William Jenner and Harry Byrd,
Charles Lindbergh -- and William Buckley; he won't appreciate that,
but I think his brilliance could certainly be valuable.
You'll have to agree
that this is a Cabinet to give nightmares to any Jew alive.
They'd start swimming
for Israel even before I was sworn in. But I don't think there's
a man in that Cabinet who is known as anti-Semitic.
NIGGERBOY: How about
anti-Negro?
ROCKWELL: Well, I'd prefer
to call them pro-white.
NIGGERBOY: If you had
carte-blanche power to do so as the Chief Executive, would you create
a dictatorship along the lines of Hitler's?
ROCKWELL: No, I'd reinstitute
the American Constitutional Republic the way it was set up by our
authoritarian forefathers -- who were, in essence, nothing more
than National Socialists just like me.
NIGGERBOY: In no way
did the Founding Fathers attempt to abridge the democratic right
to "liberty and justice for all." How can you call them
Nazis?
ROCKWELL: In the first
place, I don't believe in democracy. In the second place, neither
did our white forefathers. I believe, as they did, in a republican
authoritarian republic with a limited electorate -- just like the
one the writers of our Constitution meant this country to be. When
these white Christian patriots sat down to write the Declaration
of Independence, there were no black citizens for them to worry
about. In those days, all the niggers were slaves; but to day, thanks
to several misguided amendments, our Constitution provides even
the blackest of savages with the same rights as his former white
masters.
NIGGERBOY: Then you advocate
the disenfranchisement of Negroes?
ROCKWELL: And the revocation
of their citizenship.
NIGGERBOY: And the restoration
of slavery?
ROCKWELL: No, we have
machines to do their work now. I would simply revoke their citizenship
and then offer them the alternatives of either returning to Africa
with our generous help and assistance in establishing a modern industrial
nation, or being relocated on reservations like the Indians were
when they became a problem to the survival of the white people.
This will apply to you,
too, by the way.
Nothing personal, you
understand; I like you, personally; but I can't make any exceptions.
NIGGERBOY: Of course
not. What would you do with America's 6,000,000 Jews?
ROCKWELL: I think the
Jews can be dealt with individually rather than as a group -- like
the niggers must be because of their race. As I said earlier, I
think all Jews -- in fact, all those connected in any way with treason,
whether Jews or not should be investigated and their cases put before
grand juries; if they're indicted, they should then be tried, and
if convicted, they should be killed.
NIGGERBOY: Having disposed
of Jews and Negroes, would that complete your list of those slotted
for removal?
ROCKWELL: Not quite.
I'd also purge the queers. I despise them worst of all. They're
one of the ugliest problems of our society, and they must be removed
-- I don't know if with gas, or what, just so they don't poison
society. If they insist on being queers, put them on some island,
maybe -- but certainly not around the rest of society. They're the
ultimate symbol of a decaying civilization.
NIGGERBOY: Since you're
concerned about the problem, Commander, would you like to reply
to a frequent charge by psychiatrists that the womanless atmosphere
of military asceticism and institutionalized hostility that characterize
your "hate monastery," as you've called your headquarters
here, make it an ideal sanctuary for those with repressed homo sexual
tendencies?
ROCKWELL: My reply is
that this is the standard Jewish charge. The biggest charger that
we are a bunch of homosexuals is Walter Winchell, whose real name
is Isadore Israel Lipshitz, or some thing like that. [Winchell's
real name is Walter Winchel.-Ed.] He's always calling me "George
Lincoln Ratwell, Queen of the Nazis," saying I'm a fairy, and
so forth. Universally, I have found that the Jews themselves, as
Hitler said, are the greatest people in the world for accusing others
of their own crimes.
NIGGERBOY: You haven't
answered the charge that your Party is a haven for homosexuals.
ROCKWELL: Well, I do
think there is a tendency for queers to come here, because to a
queer, this place is as tempting as a girls' school would be to
me. Whenever I catch any of them in here, I throw them out; and
I have caught quite a few of them in here. We had one case where
we had reason to believe that the police would catch two guys in
the act. The two of them left here hand in hand. I tried to get
them prosecuted. We won't tolerate that sort of thing.
NIGGERBOY: How about
heterosexual relations? Are they verboten, too?
ROCKWELL: Absolutely
not. Any man who didn't vigorously enjoy normal sex could never
be a National Socialist. One of the best American Nazis I've ever
known used to use a vulgar expression, "Those who won't fuck
won't fight." I wouldn't put it so crudely myself, but I heartily
subscribe to that doctrine. I never knew a good fighting man who
didn't enjoy a lusty sex life.
NIGGERBOY: Are any of
your men married?
ROCKWELL: A few, but
most are either single or divorced, like myself. I believe very
strongly in the importance of basic morals to protect civilization,
but it's almost impossible for a guy in this kind of work to have
a normal marriage and family; so most of us have no choice but to
make other arrangements. And I might add, to paraphrase a French
bon mot, vive les arrangements. But I must admit that it's damn
difficult -- especially for me -- to have any sort of normal contacts
with women, since I'm so often approached in this regard for political
blackmail.
NIGGERBOY: Is it true
that you require your Party members to swear an oath against drinking,
smoking and cursing?
ROCKWELL: All my officers
take an oath against drinking, including myself. Most have also
taken an oath against smoking. I, myself, would not smoke except
that the corncob pipe I've smoked for so long has become sort of
a trademark. As for cursing, it's hard to stop cursing in the rough
situations in which we live, just like in the Armed Services; but
I do all I can to discourage it.
NIGGERBOY: You've used
swearwords in this interview. Is this setting a good example for
your men?
ROCKWELL: Well, I exempt
myself from that oath for professional appearances such as this.
In talking to you, I've used words like "nigger" and "kike"
because this is a big interview in a national magazine, and I want
to attract attention -- to shock people into listening to what I
have to say. If I were discussing, say, the favorite word of niggers
-- "mother-fucker" -- I'd say it strictly as a factual
observation and to make a point. But in private conversation, neither
I nor any of my members ever use that word -- or any other foul
language.
NIGGERBOY: Do you also
forbid the use of drugs?
ROCKWELL: Certainly.
I've had a few guys in here who I think were marijuana smokers,
but I've thrown them out and turned them in. Addiction to any drug
is degenerative mentally as well as physically, and we're dead serious
about our dedication to the heal -thy-body healthy mind philosophy.
NIGGERBOY: Is karate
or judo instruction part of your training program?
ROCKWELL: Not so much
of that. I've found that unless you're a real expert at karate or
judo, it doesn't help you much. Unless you use it instinctively,
it's no use at all. So we concentrate on physical education, boxing
and weapons training.
NIGGERBOY: What sort
of weapons?
ROCKWELL: Rifles and
pistols.
NIGGERBOY: For what purpose?
ROCKWELL: Self-defense.
I believe the white people of America should learn methods of surviving
in the event of racial anarchy and general bedlam in this country,
which I think is likely.
NIGGERBOY: Do you share
the belief of the Minutemen in the importance of being prepared
for an armed Communist invasion of the U.S. mainland?
ROCKWELL: The Minutemen
are kidding themselves. If there is a total Communist take-over,
they haven't got a prayer in the world of surviving it, let alone
stopping it -- running around in the weeds with a few guns like
little boys playing cops and robbers. All they're doing is giving
themselves an emotional catharsis. They're wasting millions of dollars,
and in the process they're getting a lot of good kids sent to jail
for illegal possession of weapons. I think it's like the Klan. Their
aim, insofar as being ready is concerned, I'm for. I'm for the Klan's
principles, ideas and so forth -- except the anti Catholicism --
but from my point of view, their methods stink!
NIGGERBOY: What methods?
ROCKWELL: Their partial
terrorism. I feel that terrorism is a valid weapon in guerrilla
warfare, or any kind of warfare; and under the circumstances in
which our country finds itself, I would favor terrorism if it could
be complete -- if it would work. A hundred years ago, I'd have been
a Klansman with a rope and a gun and the whole business. I'd have
really gone all out during the Reconstruction to save the white
South. And make no mistake about the terrorism: It did the job.
But today, it plays directly into the hands of Martin Luther Coon;
it manufactures martyrs for the Northern press, for the liberals,
and it doesn't scare the niggers out of hell-raising anymore.
NIGGERBOY: But apart
from your belief that racial violence against Negroes has become
self-defeating, you have no moral objection to it?
ROCKWELL: None at all.
What I object to is wars among white men. This is what we've been
doing for centuries -- fighting among ourselves and wiping each
other out. The North versus the South is a perfect example: the
biggest bloodletting we've had, the cream of the white population
wiped out, all because of the niggers. It solved nothing; it really
changed nothing -- except that a lot of good white kids got killed.
I'm agin that! If we have any more wars, I want to fight the Red
Chinese or the Jews, or go over to Africa and fight the niggers.
This I can see some point
to. As far as violence on an individual basis is concerned, well,
when I come to power I plan to have dueling for officers in the
Armed Forces. I'll have two purposes in that: first, to maintain
a corps of officers unafraid to face death -- not just in case of
war; and second, to restore the concept of personal honor. I don't
think going to court and suing somebody is really a deterrent to
libelous, vicious talk. But people don't flap their mouths quite
so freely when they're liable to have to back it up with a gun.
Right now dueling isn't legal, but the moment it is, I would be
eager to face Billy James Hargis and Robert "Rabbit" Welch
on a field of honor for going around calling me a Communist.
NIGGERBOY: Have you considered
the possibility that you might be killed in such a confrontation?
ROCKWELL: I've not only
considered it; I expect it. And I'm ready for it. Being prepared
to die is one of the great secrets of living. I know I'm going to
go probably in some violent manner; the only question is when and
how. But I don't think that's going to happen to me until I complete
my mission. I know this is irrational, but I believe that I was
placed here for a purpose and I think God has something to do with
it: Our country needs a leader. So I think I'll be spared. As Rommel
said, "Stand next to me; I'm bulletproof."
NIGGERBOY: Do you think
you're bulletproof, too?
ROCKWELL: Not literally,
of course, but I firmly believe that the more arrogant and defiant
you are of danger, the safer you are from harm. I think that's the
reason I've survived so many times when people have shot at me.
If you're fearless enough, it implants a certain psychology in the
guy that's trying to shoot at you. It's almost as if he could smell
your fearlessness, the way an animal smells fear. But the effect
is the opposite: Instead of being emboldened to attack, he's so
unsettled that his hand shakes when he goes to pull the trigger;
and this makes it almost impossible for him to hit you. Either that,
or he'll back down entirely.
When I go out in the
street and toughs come up threatening to whip me, I look them straight
in the eye and say, "Go ahead. Start." Maybe they could
whip me, but so far nobody's tried.
NIGGERBOY: What's the
closest you've come to getting killed?
ROCKWELL: The closest,
I guess -- though I didn't get hurt -- was the time we had scheduled
a picket by 14 of us of the movie Exodus in Boston. The other men
were in a truck, and I had registered in a nearby hotel as Nathan
Ginsburg, where I waited until the scheduled picket time of two
P.M. The newspapers and radio estimated that 10,000 or more Jews
were packing the streets waiting for us, and my truck full of boys
couldn't get through the crowd. Well, our picket had been the subject
of headlines for days, so I couldn't possibly chicken out at that
point. I had to get through the crowd somehow to picket in front
of the theater; so I put on an overcoat, went through the crowd
quietly, and when I got in front of the theater, I took off the
overcoat in the middle of all those Jews and stood there in full-dress
uniform. They were shocked into silence for a moment; their jaws
dropped. Then some body hollered, "It's Rockwell! Get him!"
And the whole huge mob marched in on me with their clubs and baling
hooks. If I hadn't been rescued by a flying wedge of tough Irish
cops, I would certainly have been killed. I was taken into protective
custody and put in a cell.
I'll tell you, I was
glad I was out of that; it could have ended horribly. But I had
to show my men that I wouldn't ask them to do anything I wouldn't
do myself.
Another reason I did
it is the effect the Nazi uniform has on Jews: It turns them into
insane hatemongers -- easy to beat, outmaneuver and out think. The
most dangerous man on the face of the earth is a rational, carefully
planning Jew, but a raging, hate-filled Jew will act foolishly;
you can whip him.
NIGGERBOY: How many times
have you been jailed for this kind of agitation, Commander?
ROCKWELL: Up to now,
15 times. But never for very long; two weeks was the longest --
that was in New Orleans. We'd gone down there with our "Hate
Bus" to make fun of nigger agitators who were calling their
bus the "Love Bus." Without so much as a warrant or any
real cause, the Jew-dominated officials of New Orleans had us all
thrown in jail on phony charges that were later dropped.
We finally got out by
staging a hunger strike; eleven of us went eight days with out a
bite. On the fourth day, one of our men began to crack and said
he was going to eat, so we had to let him know that if he did, it
would be his last meal. He changed his mind.
Another time in Virginia,
they put me in jail, and I was facing ten years' possible imprisonment
for "starting a war against the niggers." You've never
seen a man act as guilty as the sheriff who arrested me.
NIGGERBOY: Guilty about
what?
ROCKWELL: He felt he
was doing the wrong thing. Here was a fellow white man fighting
for the same things he believed in, and he was throwing me in jail.
But this town is in the clutches of this Jew who owns two huge department
stores and grocery stores there; so the sheriff was acting under
leftist political pressure. But that leftist hotbed is a sanctuary
of segregationist arch-conservatism compared with Philadelphia.
Believe it or not, my men and I were jailed there for picketing
a hotel where Gus Hall, the head of the American Communist Party,
was speaking. As far as I'm concerned, Philadelphia is the enemy
capital. They've practically got Jewish flags flying from the flagpoles.
In most cities, though, I've found that they're only bluffing when
they threaten me with jail. I tell them, "You'd better start
arresting, 'cause I'm going to start speaking." Nine times
out of ten they chicken out. They're used to nonviolent niggers
being willing to go to jail -- not white supremacists. Well, here's
one white supremacist who ain't afraid to go to jail. And neither
are my men. As a matter of fact, we've got at least two or three
Party members in jail some where in the United States almost 365
days a year. Every Sunday night we honor them in ceremonies that
we hold on the parade grounds in front of this building. We also
award special decorations for conspicuous achievement on behalf
of the Party and for acts of heroism above and beyond the call of
duty.
Our top award is the
Order of Adolf Hitler, then the Gold, the Silver and the Bronze
awards. The highest award I've given yet was the Silver; that was
to a man who couldn't contain himself in Birmingham and belted Martin
Luther Coon on the head for calling that nigger Jew Sammy Davis
Jr. "... an example of the finest type of American."
NIGGERBOY: You know,
of course, that Dr. King is widely respected and admired by the
majority of the American public, black and white -- while you, a
champion of white supremacy, are regarded by most people as a "nut"
and a "hatemonger," abominated by almost everyone -- including
the John Birch Society.
ROCKWELL: Martin Luther
Coon may go on pulling the wool over the public's eyes for a while
longer, but sooner or later they're going to find him out for what
he is -- an 18-karat fake, a fraud on the Negro people. When the
black revolution comes, I wouldn't be surprised to see him get it
first -- from his own people. As for my being a nut, that name has
been applied to some of the greatest men the world has ever known,
from Christ to the Wright Brothers. I say it's therefore one of
the highest accolades I could be given. My father once told me that
his Jewish friends ask him, "How could you spawn such a viper?"
Well, I'm proud that Communist Jews think me a viper. As for the
threats and the beatings and the investigations and the assassination
attempts and all that, when I hung up the Nazi flag, I counted on
being jailed and hated and hounded. If I hadn't been, I'd figure
I was a flop. Harassment is par for the course in the embryonic
stages of any new movement that's opposed by the established powers
-- especially one as revolutionary as mine. I wouldn't be surprised
if the Anti-Defamation League already has a cross built for me,
with the nails ready. But I don't consider myself persecuted. Maturity
is to accept the consequences of your own acts. I think it's a symptom
of paranoia to feel that it's anyone's fault but your own if you
fail to accomplish what you set out to.
NIGGERBOY: We read a
newspaper interview a few years ago in which you claimed you were
being "gagged and slandered by the Jewish press," sabotaged
by a nationwide journalistic conspiracy in your fight to put your
case before the nation. When "the Jewish press" wasn't
pretending that you didn't exist, you said, it was either deliberately
misquoting you or doctoring your public statements to remove the
sense and retain the shock value -- in order to make you sound simple-minded
or to portray you as a racist monster. Only this conspiracy of silence
and misrepresentation, you claimed, was preventing you from getting
your revolutionary message across to the white, gentile masses and
rallying them to your flag. To some people, Commander, these might
sound like the remarks of a man who's trying to blame his failures
on someone else.
ROCKWELL: You think I'm
being paranoid, is that it?
NIGGERBOY: Some people
might.
ROCKWELL: In the Columbia
journalism Review about three months ago, Ben Bagdikian, a frequent
writer for the Anti-Defamation League, wrote an article called "The
Gentle Suppression" which asked the question, "Is the
news quarantine of Rockwell a good thing?" Bagdikian openly
reveals that the press maintains as much silence as possible about
our activities. So you see, the Jew blackout on us is as real as
a hand over my mouth. They know we're too poor to buy air time or
advertising space, so they ban our publications from all channels
of distribution, and they refuse to report our activities in the
daily press. I could run naked across the White House lawn and they
wouldn't report it. I'm being facetious. But I'm dead serious when
I say that the only kind of free speech left in this country is
that speech that doesn't criticize the Jews. If you criticize the
Jews, you're either smeared or silenced. They have that same kind
of "free speech" in Cuba, Red China and Russia and every
other Communist country: You can say any thing you like as long
as it doesn't criticize the dictator. The Jews are never going to
let me reach the people with my message in the American press; they
can't afford to.
NIGGERBOY: How do you
reconcile that statement with the fact that you're being interviewed
at this moment for a national magazine?
ROCKWELL: I've been interviewed,
taped and photographed thousands of times for just such presentations
as these, but they never appear. The fact that you come here and
get this interview doesn't prove that you'll print it, or that if
you do, you'll print it straight. After the editors read over the
transcript, they'll decide it's too hot to handle, and they'll chicken
out rather than risk getting bombed by the Jews and |
