“The Marxist ideas which have taken many decades to gnaw into the vitals of the great Western nations have seized the once self-reliant descendants of the Vikings in acute form, and, in little more than a generation, have transformed many in a nation of heroes into spoiled, alcohol-bemused, welfare-worshipping, security-loving, responsibility-shirking people who excuse their utter refusal to do anything to help defend their country with the age-old refuge of the coward; “It’s no use resisting, I’m too little and weak.”

“Few places on earth show more clearly than Iceland what happens to a people who abandon the civilization-building principles of enterprise, discipline and thrift to pursue the will-o-the-wisps of security, libertinism and extravagance.”

“Today, the machinery which is able to take average American boys and make them into superbly-disciplined, fighting men—Marines—is being systematically and coldly dismantled by the same insidious forces which constantly promote the strength of our most dangerous enemies.”

“It is part of the Jews to be sneaky and sly. The genius of our people has ever been joyous strength, robust forcefulness, directness, manly courage, and flaming heroism. When the Jews, with their economic terrorism, jails, bullies and hangmen, scare the White man into laying down his cudgel and goad him into trying to out-sneak Jewish tyranny, the Jews have completely emasculated the once-strong White man, and doomed him to dishonor and defeat. The White man can NEVER win by SNEAKING.”

“The top Jews who operate the terror and tyranny machine can survive and manipulate us exactly as the lion tamer can manipulate a cageful of deadly lions and tigers because the animals are too stupid and afraid of the silly crack of his whip and his chair to see the situation as it is and use the enormous power they have but are afraid to use.”

“Knowing this, we know that the psychiatrist, when he gets hold of you, is going to be looking for these "delusions of grandeur" and "delusions of persecutions". He is going to be waiting like a cat at a ratio hole for you to come out with the slightest hint that YOU, (instead of the Jews) are chosen to fulfill an historical mission such as preserving the White Race, and the concomitant proposition that the Jews are "persecuting" you for trying to expose them.”

“The Jews have no such all-powerful plot. They DO have a deadly plot of the top Jew-Communist-Zionists, and it is taking over the world, -but not because they are so brilliant or so daring. They have been winning because we have let them goad us into being stupid, weak and disorganized.”

“By the exercise of REASON and GUTS instead of wild emotion and "righteous wrath" at the illegal incarceration, I won over the Dr's. under Shultz and the lady liberal psychiatrist, and these people had the courage to defy the two top-bosses and declare I was sane in TEN DAYS, in spite of the hysteria of the Chief of Psychiatry, who was shouting, "You're SICK! SICK!! SICK!" even as I left the lock-up.”

“Out of the mud and slime of lies, your holy red, white and black Swastika has been flung back into the skies in Virginia, United States of America, and we pledge you our lives, Adolf Hitler, that we shall not flag or fail until we have utterly destroyed the forces of Marxism and darkness.”

“WE are the new ‘barbarians’, forged to iron-hardness in the fires of their hate and persecution. All over the world, we wait to pounce on the arrogant, strutting ‘emperors’ of Marxism when they have over-extended themselves just a little bit more.”

“Goose-pimples rose all over me, my hair stood on end, my eyes filled with tears of love and gratitude for this greatest of all conquerors of human misery and shame, and my breath came in little gasps. If I had not known that the Leader would have scorned such adulation, I might have fallen to my knees in unashamed worship, but instead I drew myself to attention, raised my arm in the eternal salute of the ancient Roman Legions and repeated the holy words, "Heil Hitler!" - meaning every syllable with all my heart, mind and soul.”

“The problem of building a political organization with the ability to move these masses the other way, in spite of the enemy’s utter mastery of all means of communicating with the masses, is, thus, first the problem of reaching the masses—any way at all. It does not matter how you reach them at first, so long as they come to know of you and the fact that you are at the opposite pole from those in power.”

“Muhammad understands the vicious fraud of the Jewish exploitation of the Negro people and, fighting his way from the gutters as we did, he had [sic] demonstrated truly incredible leadership abilities. He has gathered millions of the dirty, immoral, drunken, filthy-mouthed, lazy and repulsive people sneeringly called 'niggers' and inspired them to the point where they are clean, sober, honest, hard working, dignified, dedicated and admirable human beings in spite of their color.”

“I think Jews, in terms of intellect, are a superior race. They're smarter. They outsmart our people left and right all the time. They've been doing it for thousands of years. They're smart people. They're brilliant. But our people have something that the Jews don't have, and this is the main difference between racial, loathsome Jews like yourselves and people like me. And that is idealism. Jews just can't believe people are willing to die for something, for an idea. They just can't understand that.”

“In ordinary, everyday responsibilities, such as earning a living, I am a positive flop, and this makes me difficult to live with. I am only interested in the extraordinary, in the things that most people consider 'impossible.' Only when faced with enormous challenges do I become deeply interested. The driving force of my life has been a deep satisfaction in defying overwhelming odds.”

“I think an atheist and a religious person are both conceited. The Christian says I have examined the entire universe and I find that the only true religion is this. And the atheist says, have examined the universe and there ain't no God. And I don't think you can make either one of those statements. I think both of them are conceited. My statement is I don't know. I don't know how I got here and I don't know where I'm going, or if I'm going anyplace.”

“My Ph.D. critics regularly berate me for the vulgar and brutal material in the Stormtrooper. Because these gentlemen don't like to see the word "nigger" in print, or crude drawings of Jews, they often insist that I am a damned fool, a hoodlum, or an agent provocateur, trying to ruin the whole movement by printing such rough stuff. These sincere but pitifully blind men are going to have to understand that one can't win elections with Ph.D. votes.”

“These people have no argument to stand by. They have no facts. I do. And I'm gonna believe them. As long as I have the documents; bagfuls, box fulls, libraries full of them, I'm going to believe the facts and not somebody screaming at me or trying to punch me in the nose. This has resulted, ladies and gentlemen, this deprivation you are suffering of, the lack of news, the lack of the facts, has resulted in what they call liberalism.”

“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 always be what he was born: a wild animal.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 republic—an 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.”

“It is not the evil itself which is horrifying about our times—it is the way we not only tolerate evil, but have made a cult of positively worshipping weakness, depravity, rottenness and evil itself.

“Today’s liberal intellectuals, who pride themselves on scientific method and being “broadminded," are the most narrow-minded, self-righteous and hate-filled bigots in the history of humanity.

“As I have pointed out many times, no man can live happily, successfully, and productively as a lonely, bitter individual at war with all his fellows. Every one of us has a deep need for the warmth and love of his group, of those in his biological family of people. Modern man has lost that feeling of group warmth, loyalty and love, and the result is the chaos and spiritual emptiness we see all around us in this disintegrating Western society.”

“You're a slave in your own country, White Man. Each year you get to keep less of the fruits of your labor; each year it gets more difficult to carry the burden the aliens have placed upon you; each year the cheap labor of aliens makes your future less secure; each year you retreat a few steps more into the world of slavery. Where will it all end? I'LL TELL YOU – it will end with the complete and total annihilation of "Whitey.”
