HARRISBURG, Pa.—Roughly 60
dedicated activists and speakers
attended a conference held at the
State Museum of Pennsylvania in
Harrisburg, Pa., the Keystone
State’s capital, on Saturday, Feb.
13. AFP was on the scene to cover the event, network
with like-minded activists and truth-seekers,
and promote America’s last real newspaper.
The conference brought together a number of
activist organizations, including the Traditionalist
Worker Party, a newly formed political party
whose chairman, Matthew Heimbach, at the
young age of 24 already has a long history of political
activism and organizing.
In 2012, Heimbach founded the White Student
Union at Towson University just outside Baltimore,
Md., an organization that explicitly represented
the interests of white students at the
university and sought to organize events and
speeches on campus.
Heimbach worked primarily with Keystone
United, a Pennsylvania-based white nationalist activist
group originally founded in 2001, in organizing
the conference, which featured several
noteworthy speeches, a bake sale, and ample time
for networking.
“The main purpose of the conference was
to
unite
productive activists within the pro-white
cause
and provide practical solutions, which include
getting
involved in local electoral politics,
to
erase the problems facing our people today,”
Steve
Smith, a leading member of Keystone
United
who also spoke at the conference, explained
to
AFP.
Heimbach
used the opportunity to promote the
Traditionalist
Worker Party and spoke eloquently
about
the party’s platform, key message, and basic
ideology.
“We
had representatives from half a dozen organizations
who
were able to promote a united nationalist
front,”
Heimbach told AFP. “Infighting
and
disunity has plagued the American nationalist
cause
for generations, so one of the goals of the
party
is to heal these divisions and unite all devoted
patriotic
organizations. The fact we had six
different
groups together along with both whiteand
blue-collar
folks, including a lot of families,
shows
that our party is positioned to represent the
interests
of white Americans as a whole. Our goal
was
to bring these groups together under the Traditionalist
Worker
Party, and we achieved that objective.
2016
is going to be the year of nationalism
both
in Europe and in the United States.”
The
Traditionalist Worker Party bills itself as
“America’s
first political party created by and for
working
families” whose mission is “faith, family,
and
folk against the politicians and oligarchs who
are
running America into the ground.” The party
aims
to build a nationwide network of local grassroots
activists
and organizations “who will lead
Americans
toward a peaceful and prosperous future
free
from economic exploitation, federal
tyranny,
and anti-Christian degeneracy,” according
to
the party’s official website.
A
central theme of the conference was the
struggle
between the forces of nationalism and
globalism, a topic Heimbach addressed at length
during
his opening speech.
“The
battle of the 21st century is globalism versus
nationalism
because of the very nature of globalism,”
Heimbach
explained to AFP. Globalism “is
an
ideology of dismantling and destroying ethnic,
religious,
and cultural identities in order to create
a
world that is one market, under one set of standards,
and
under the boot-heel of global financial
oligarchs.
In generations past, nationalists on the
left
and right side of the spectrum have spent time
fighting
one another while globalism breaks down
our
respective national sovereignty.”
Heimbach
noted that the corrupt duopoly dominating
American
electoral politics—namely, the
Republican
and Democratic parties—do not represent
the
interests of the average American
worker.
Rather, they represent the interests of the
elite
financial and corporate class who are seeking
to
undermine and destroy the sovereignty of this
nation.
“Both
the Republican and Democratic elites
support
legal and illegal immigration for the best
interests
of their billionaire donor class,” Heimbach
explained.
“Both of these two parties support
free
trade agreements that have gutted the
industrial
economy of America and shipped millions
of
jobs overseas while in turn crushing the
agrarian
economy of Mexico and Latin America.
These
two parties drive down our wages and destroy
our
jobs while they then encourage the people
they
impoverished with their policies in Latin
America
to migrate to America to compete with
American
workers for the few jobs that are left.”
Heimbach
hopes to network and collaborate
with
other nationalist political parties and organizations
around
the world. In recent months,
he
has met with and spoken at events in Europe
organized
by the Golden Dawn in
Greece
and the National Democratic
Party
of Germany.
“In
order to secure the best interests
and
future for our people, we can and
should
unite with nationalists from
other
nations because healthy and prosperous
nations
around the globe are in
the
best interests of everyone, except of
course
the Zionists and their gentile
lackeys,”
Heimbach stated. “We as
American
nationalists should support
the
right of self-determination and selfgovernance
for
all peoples in all nations,
instead
of letting the forces of international
finance
dominate the lives of free
people,
forcing us to fight one another
By
all accounts, the conference was
a
huge step forward for the American
nationalist
movement.
“The
conference brought together a
lot
of very active members in our cause to plan
and
organize exciting events in the near future,”
Bob
Gaus, a long-time member of Keystone
United
who played a leading role in organizing the
conference,
told AFP. “We hope to increase awareness
of
our culture and promote the fact we care
about
and cherish the bloodlines of our people
and
are willing to stand together as one to make
our
goals a success.”
“The
American nationalist movement is ready
for
this next step,” Heimbach explained. “We need
a
party that will fight for white working- and middle-
class
families in an age of betrayal by both the
Republican
and Democratic parties. Our positions
on
strong social values, nationalist economics,
and
community building make us a unique party in
America.”
The
Traditionalist Worker Party has big plans
in
the coming weeks and months.
“We
will be working over the next few months
to
have regional meetings throughout the United
States,
and every local chapter will continue to
hold
monthly meetings,” Heimbach told AFP. “We
will
be launching our quarterly publication for our
members
and we have a large number of community
events
and demonstrations planned for the
spring
and summer. We have chapters in the Mid-
Atlantic,
Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and California,
and
new chapters are forming every single week.
The
party is off to a great start, and with the help
and
support of nationalists throughout this country
we
will begin a true movement that will change
