Jesse Ventura vs Francis Parker Yockey? What gives? Does Ventura even know who Yockey was? Probably not. So some introductions are in order.

Jesse Ventura is the American professional wrestler turned politician–he was elected Minnesota Governor in 1998 on a Third Party ticket–who now hosts “Conspiracy Theory With Jesse Ventura’ on truTV. A Navy Seal in the Vietnam War Era, Ventura had enough moxie to see through the changing rationales of the War against Iraq. He was gutsy enough to call Bush & Cheney what they were, cowards and Chicken Hawks. Ventura also stuck his neck out and publicly doubted the official version of 9/11.

Francis Parker Yockey is the Neo-Splenglerian visionary & European Hero best known today for penning the 1948 book, IMPERIUM. An American, he died in 1960 while in US custody.

But Ventura had 2 political weaknesses which caused him to clash unknowingly with Francis Parker Yockey. One, he mouthed libertarian verities–really fantasies–which ran counter to Yockey’s thought & practice. This also caused Ventura to misread Perot’s appeal which lay in economic nationalism, not debt reduction. And two, Ventura, prior to 9/11, on verbal auto-pilot, was prone to use that hoary (and false) Cold War phrase, “the Free World.”

But Yockey would have none of that. He saw Europe occupied as much by Washington as by Moscow. In his 1949 manifesto THE PROCLAMATION OF LONDON–founding document of the European Liberation Front and a good summary of IMPERIUM–he penned these words:

“. . . a mere fifty years ago, Europe was a proud independent organism, sure of itself and master of the world. The sacred soil of the Western Culture is now occupied by the Mongols, Turkestani and Kirghizians of Asia, by the Negroes of America, the Senegalese of Africa, the Jews from the pavements of the world. This is democratic Europe, liberal Europe.”

Yockey then wrote:

“Thus, the Liberation Front now states to Europe its two great tasks: 1) the complete expulsion of everything alien from the soul and from the soil of Europe, the cleansing of the European soul of the dross of 19th century materialism and rationalism with its money-worship, liberal-democracy, social degeneration, parliamentarism, class-war, feminism, vertical nationalism, finance-capitalism, petty-statism, chauvinism, the Bolshevism of Moscow and Washington, the ethical syphilis of Hollywwod, and the spiritual leprosy of New York; 2) the construction of the Imperium of Europe and the actualizing of the divinely-emanated European will to unlimited political Imperialism.

“Replacing the Culture-disease of extra-Europeans and traitors are the pristine ethical values of Europe: Authority, Faith, Discipline, Duty, Order, Hierarchy, Fertility, Will-to-Power.

“This Proclamation is thus a Declaration of War.”

In 1949, Francis Parker Yockey was concerned that the Cold War would break out into World War III. He saw through the propaganda of the Washington Regime’s new crusade:

“He destroyed a world-Empire and now he asks for the confidence of Europe in a new crusade.

“Washington’s program is to conscript the Europeans–what it cynically calls the ‘man-power’ of Europe–and thus to spare the jitterbugs of North America the losses of arduous campaigns against Russia. Do they really think that Europeans will accomplish military wonders fighting against one enemy of Europe on behalf of another?

“No, Europe is no more interested in this projected war than in a struggle between two negro tribes in the Sudan.”

Francis Parker Yockey eloquently states his case. The struggle continues.
