I had some thoughts (and primary source documents) to share on the recent reporting about new 9/11 evidence by ProPublica and the NYT https://www.middlebury.edu/institute/academics/centers-initiatives/ctec/research-notes/still-untold-stories-september-11

The Order is one of the most-emulated terrorist groups in history and cross-promotes the even-more-influential Turner Diaries. The FBI was obsessed with rumors of a "Second Order" forming in the '90s. One did and may have been tied to the OKC bombing. Not just history but a template.

The movie might be sobering and a wake-up call for normies, but the trick is crafting it so it won't *also* be a hagiography of its subjects. The Silent Brotherhood, the book the movie is based on, had the same problem and is looked on fondly by a lot of WNs today, like these Stormfront posters.

Lawful Extremism: The Chinese Exclusion Act

Lawful Extremism: The Chinese Exclusion Act

The first paper in the “Lawful Extremism” series considered whether the 1856 Dred Scott decision that denied Black people citizenship and constitutional rights functioned as an extremist ideological text. This paper uses the same framework to examine the Chinese Exclusion era, covering roughly 1870-1943, and the anti-Chinese movement that traveled from the fringes to the mainstream, becoming the driving force behind the enaction of the Act.
