Thanks to the exposure of his neo-Nazi group's relationship with Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), David Duke is enjoying a moment of national quasi-relevance again-- long after most people thought the expatriate Austrian resident would never be heard from again. Duke joined the KKK when he was 17 and formed his first neo-Nazi group, the White Youth Alliance, when he was a college student in Baton Rouge in 1970. He gained notoriety by parading around the LSU campus in a Nazi uniform. His first run for political office was in 1975 in Baton Rouge when he ran for the state Senate as a Democrat. His campaigns have been primarily hustles to make money and he has widely been regarded as a scam artist, ripping off morons in the Klan, Nazis and Republicans. He kept running for any office he could file for and wasn't taken seriously until 1989 when he officially joined the GOP and won a Louisiana state House seat in Metairie near New Orleans, after a run-off against John Treen, the brother of former Governor David Treen. Treen was endorsed by President George H.W. Bush and former President Ronald Reagan but the Nazi was popular with the angry racist Republican base and he he won anyway.With the Republican Party-- and mainstream conservatives in general-- having migrated away from overt anti-Semitism by the 1960s, Duke's neo-Nazi mania hurt him with garden variety GOP racists who feel completely entitled to just hate blacks and Hispanics. One of Duke's campaign managers explained that "The Jews just aren't a big issue in Louisiana. We keep telling David, stick to attacking the blacks. There's no point in going after the Jews, you just piss them off and nobody here cares about them anyway." Duke, however, was a devoted anti-Semite and Nazi and he sold copies of Mein Kampf from the state Capitol while he was a Republican legislator in Baton Rouge.Even today, Duke's official website, is filled with the kind of hysterical Jew-hatred that was popular among American conservatives before Duke was born. Duke sees the whole kerfuffle over Scalise as a Jewish plot. In his world, Scalise is being "excoriated by the Zio-dominated media."
[T]he attack on Dr. Duke and Rep. Scalise is completely hypocritical.The President of the United States of America, Barak Obama, has for a lifetime supported his radical, racist preacher, Rev. Wright who has literally screamed “God damn America” and spouted the most vicious hatred against white people!But the Zio mass media does not condemn Barak Obama for maintaining his close relationship with Wright to this day!The truth is that Dr. Duke shows how the establishment fosters hatred between both groups in a divide and conquer strategy that harms both African Americans and European Americans, and diverts attention from the real controllers of the media, the trillions stolen from both blacks and whites by the international Zio bankers such as Goldman Sachs and the FED.The establishment which has spent trillions of dollars needed by both blacks and whites-- in insane Zionist Wars such as war in Iraq, fought only for the interest of Israel.Zionists also control the politics of the United States domestically, and the real reason they have attacked Scalise is because he said he endorsed Dr. Duke’s policies. They are afraid he might might someday spill the beans on the Zionists because he may have dared to to speak at meeting where Dr. Duke spoke. And remember that the keynote speech Dr. Duke made at that meeting was primarily about the organization’s opposition to the insane Iraq War—which was vociferously supported by the Zio media and government.And that is why the media lies about Dr. David Duke, and why they scream the lie that he supports “racial supremacism” and “hate.”...Now let’s go over the lies of the media in directed at Steve Scalise for possibly meeting with his constituents-- constituents who also supported David Duke. Remember that Dr. Duke received over 60 percent of the popular vote in the Scalise’s district. They voted for Dr. Duke to be their U.S. Congressman, and a year later, to be their Governor.The media attack is not against Dr. Duke and Rep. Scalise but also against the millions who support Dr. Duke in Louisiana, the United States and all over the world-- to which the millions of views of his videos provide evidence.As Dr. David Duke has repeatedly pointed out in a number of radio shows on the topic, the facts are quite clear:1- There is no clear evidence that Rep. Scalise even attended a European Rights Organization (EURO) meeting in 2002.2- Dr. Duke personally never attended the meeting in question, never saw Rep. Scalise or even knew that he had been invited.3- Some people who attended the meeting said that Rep. Scalise had not been present, while others recall him being present early and leaving.4- Rep. Scalise has repeatedly said that he does not remember specifically attending the meeting, as he addressed a large number of groups in his constituency, and did not have the staff to vet every single invitation....After all, what the Zio-media is actually saying is that Rep. Scalise is not allowed to meet with his own constituents! How is that “democracy”? Since when did it become a crime for a Congressman to meet constituents?So why then the media fuss over Rep. Scalise?Would the media make the same fuss if Rep. Scalise had spoken at a La Raza Hispanic advocacy meeting?Would the media make the same fuss if Rep. Scalise had spoken at a AIPAC Jewish lobby advocacy meeting?...So why they the fuss over Rep. Scalise allegedly addressing a small meeting of European-American rights advocates?...The answer to this question lies, of course, in the fact that Dr. Duke is the world’s leading opponent and exposer of Jewish Supremacist racism-- and although the Zio-media tries to ignore him, or continuously slander him, the internet has undermined all their efforts to control the news and what people can read, see and hear... The reason for the Zio-media lynching is clear: it is only because the Jewish Lobby fears that their control of the US political process, their control of the mass media and of the banking system, will be exposed and come to wider public knowledge.For this reason, and this reason alone, they seek to stamp on anyone who has even the slightest, most improbable and unlikely connection with Dr. Duke-- and in this case, their sacrificial lamb is the totally innocent Rep. Scalise.
Scalise has already made a half-assed apology for speaking at the neo-Nazi rally and the House Republican leadership has declared the case closed. But Duke isn't letting go so fast, not when he can use the notoriety to sucker racist Republicans out of money. Now he's threatening to expose other politicians who have been to his racist rallies-- and not just Republicans. He claims he's met with Democratic politicians at least 50 times as well and he's threatening to release a list of Republicans and Democrats who've been tied to him in one way or another. "If Scalise is going to be crucified-- if Republicans want to throw Steve Scalise to the woods, then a lot of them better be looking over their shoulders." Jarvis DeBerry at the Times Picayune:
I'd imagine that a threat from a white supremacist is pretty much like the bark of a dog. One doesn't know if that barking will be followed by any meaningful action.But as I wrote earlier, the news that links Scalise to a Duke event is a reminder of how many politicians thought Duke's supporters could help them politically. Mike Foster paid $150,000 for a Duke mailing list during his successful 1995 gubernatorial run. Woody Jenkins, who ran for U.S. Senate the following year, paid $82,500 for a telephone list of Duke supporters.I'm guessing that politicians today would be willing to pay that much-- if not more-- to keep Duke from exposing them as friendly to him and his supporters.That is, if Duke isn't just blowing smoke, and really has a list of names that he could reveal.But does he? How many Louisiana politicians might be trembling at the idea of their names being on Duke's touted list?
