Apology from the newsroom

In the last two issues, The Northerner ran an ad for a business called Resistance Records. The ad was cut-and-dry. It listed all of the types of music it sells and listed its URL at the bottom. But after this past weekend, we found the intent behind the ad was not so cut-and-dry.

Via an inquiry from Channel 12 News, who got the tip from a concerned reader, we found that Resistance Records is a business that promotes white supremacy.

After investigating the validity of this right after I got the call, I made the decision to immediately halt all business with Resistance Records. While it is not illegal to run ads of this nature, we at The Northerner see it as an ethical issue.  We do not wish to be in business with groups or organizations that promote any form of racism, sexism, ageism, or any other form of discrimination. While issues of this nature are dependent on who runs The Northerner each semester, it was my decision that the paper, for this semester, will not advertise with this business or other businesses like it.

That being said, I don’t want it to seem like I am making excuses. The fact of the matter is we screwed up. We should have researched our client better before getting in to business with them.

I also want to take this opportunity to personally apologize to our readers for running this ad. We received numerous complaints about the ad, and to those who were offended — I apologize. Please know that we did not intend to offend anyone, and will pay closer attention to the ads we run in the future.

If you still want to voice your opinion on this matter, feel free to submit a letter to the editor on our Web site, or drop by our office to talk with me about it.

Thank you for your continuing readership.

Dear Mr. Owens,

Please do not send the money back to the White Supremecists. You all ran their ad. What's done is done but that money should go towards ending racism and I think the NAACP or some other organization that fights racism would put that money to much better use.

Respectfully,

Truth Vs. Lies Is First And Largest Problem For Humankind
(Apollonian, 13 Nov 09)

"Jenna," thanks for ur comments, and I agree w. u, "ignorance is bliss," isn't it?--u ought to know, right? So what's ur problemo, anyway? U "Indian" people were simply conquered and largely exterminated by the white man fm Europe and his, at the time, superior military methods. Note when the Vikings attempted to colonize the land, a few hundred yrs earlier, they didn't quite have military power to enforce it, and they were driven away by Indians. U win some, and u lose some, eh?

And this pattern of military conquest is true for all history, peoples, cultures, and races. U "Jenna," are descended fm the losers, and u're understandably bitter, but u should realize u're lucky we white folk allow u to live and run ur insolent mouth. U should be grateful we ever made mistake of letting u live and be "educated" w. all ur anti-white propaganda.

Further, u should take solace, for what it's worth, as we white Christians have in turn been conquered by the Jew usurers who have taken over our land and now strive to impose their own "Jew World Order" (NWO) which they've effected by specific means of fractional-reserve money and banking, like the US Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) COUNTERFEITING scam/mechanism/operation--see RealityZone.com and TheMoneyMasters.com for expo/ref. on the Fed fraud.

CONCLUSION: For just as we're taught fm Gosp. JOHN, the large conflict among, and even within, men is TRUTH vs. lies, and now we Christians and gentiles of all races, all throughout the world, face the ZOG-Mammon empire run by topmost masterminds, the Jews, along w. their gentile accomplices, homos and bolshies on the "left," and the "Judeo-Christian" (JC--see Whtt.org and TruthTellers.org for expo/ref.) hereticalists, who say Christ was "Jew" (hence Talmudist), on the "right." Of course, I could go on for more details, but ck our site at GentileAlliance.org for more info. Honest elections and death to the Fed. Apollonian

Went from like nearly 30 comments down to 10. Where free thought is not permitted to reign, perceptive and independent thinkers choose to make themselves scarce, so see you later.

Ignorance is bliss...I'm sure you forget how many european colonies died in the masses because of their inaability to thrive and sustain life and food for their people....hmm I'm going to take a stab at this and say that if it wasn't for us Indian's of no culture, all of them would have died off due to their pure ignorance. A trait that you seem to share with those European settlers who did so much according to you....As for random groupings? I guess you consider millions to be a small grouping...Indians dwindled to low numbers because of the genocide inflicted by your European WHITE gods, women, children there were no boundaries in the slaying of my people. I'm glad you have your own opinion, everyone is entitled to there own thoughts and ideals, but for you to be-little other humans as if they are below your standard I have to ask, what makes you so great?

The comments about the SPLC by Stanley are thoroughly hilarious. I could have refered to Potok as many other things but chose to be nice in my selection of the word goon. I am sure many normal citizens have been put off in the past by Potok's appearences on TV where he condemns any concept of border enforcement. Even figures on the left have idenified Morris Sleeze Dees and company as having made the "hate" racket a million dollar swindle in service of their wallets as they prey on liberals for dollars to take people to court,where they only expend a fraction of that money and pocket the rest. The practice of suing organizations for the actions of single members that are independent of a larger organization is evidence of our judicial system being manipulated and made rotten, mostly by those of the 'chosen' persuasion, than it is of their inherent "genius". And what about those claims made against Sleeze Dees during his divorce a few years back, about inappropriate relations with his step daughter as detailed by her mother, his ex-wife??

Yes the SPLC certainly deserves your money alright, buy ole Morris another house, what the hay right?

For the record, we at Resistance Records and the National Alliance condemn any and all illegal activity and will tolerate not even the suggestion of such activity.

I refer those who might be confused as to what the founders envisioned the makeup of the new nation, relative to race, to documents such as the Naturalization Act of 1790, as well as many other historical documents and statements from leaders of the day that leave no doubt that they did not envision America as being a multicultural nation.You may be floored by the real views that Lincoln and numerous other high profile men in history have had on race and on multiculturalism.Certainly most of your professors wouldn't be able to do anything other than call it "racist" if they were confronted with historical statements by these men. If America was meant to be a multicult society and all featherless bipeds were considered to be equal, then why was their the need for the communist orchastrated 'civil rights' movement and other similar changes. If the founders would have been happy with conditions as they are today, why was there need for any change??

As for "the Indians being here first", well this is a common howl from those who wish silence dissent from nationalists and to take all they can from the ethnic majority of this country.I am sorry, did America, the United States exist before Europeans came to the New World? Was there any kind of civilization beyond random groupings of tribes who simply subsisted and built no higher culture to speak of?? The anwser would be no. Europeans built a nation where only tribes had existed before. And 'Kennewick Man' may be proof that Europeans were the first on this continent, but alas research on this important historical find has been thwarted by the Indians of who's land it was found on.

As I have posted on our news site NatAllNews.com, I issue a challenge to any individual or group, especially whoever it was that worked to have our ads removed, to a debate on any issue within our purview. I would be more than willing to engage anyone, any time, in any public venue on the issues that we feel need to be discussed and reject the notion that we are to be marginalized in any way because we are demonized as "supremacist" by the media and establishment. I have no clue who caused this firestorm over a simple outreach effort, a simple ad, but it is really silly. If you think we don't have the right to reach out to people that might be receptive and that we are so "wrongheaded" or whatever, then it should be no trouble to argue against our ideas and policies with facts....Oh yes but that is the issue isn't it, the reason why censorship like this is permitted to occur with no debate of the issues, the multiculturalists, the diversity mongers, have nothing but failed policies and lies and they have no truth to stand on when confronted with our ideas and people who don't apologize and grovel.

We are not supremacists, we are separatists. We want geographic separation of the races so all races can determine what is best for them and not have to constantly compromise their culture,heritage, and inner soul. It is hard to "reign supreme" over other races if you are separated by truly enforced borders. The conflict caused by multiculturalism is historically something that leads to more death and destruction than you can ever imagine, it has lead to the fall of numerous nations in centuries past, and it will here as well. We would like to avoid the bloodshed and misery of the civil strife that is to surely come by discussing these issues now instead of just going along with policies that have failed.

And why is there not this kind of outrage over Israel, the only state on the planet that is an ethnically based entity?? It is especially interesting to notice that and then look at those who are at the forefront of condemning the same concept of an ethnic state for whites. The names curiously read like a Tel-Aviv phone book.

APOLLONIAN:
I really hope that you realize what your saying when you say the "founders" of this land were all white men....I'm pretty sure from my knowledge of history and my heritage as Cherokee Indian, that the white men may have arrived in the New America's but as it is documented THE INDIANS were ALREADY there. How do you see this as your land and no one else's? When your almighty WHITE founding fathers scalped and massacred so many Indians to STEAL there land did that make it there's? You might want to watch what "land" you lay claim to pal, for some of us that is still a touchy subject.

"Stanley P.," A Very Mixed-Up Young Homosexual, Probably A Jew
(Apollonian, 12 Nov 09)

"Stanley P.," u know u're hysterical? Did u know the founders of USA were ALL white men?--this is our land and no one else's, comrade. "Stanley," u're nothing but a recipient of white Christian people's charity, and u lack a substantial leg to stand upon for all ur absurd complaints and whining; u should be much more humble, "Stanley," given ur obvious deficiencies.

Furthermore "Stanley," racism is a great virtue, that of LOYALTY to one's race, no less than 5th of original Ten Commandments, "Honor thy race (parentage)," race understood as simply one's extended family--ck the dictionary. And note regarding this racial loyalty, it's necessarily AXIOMATIC--everyone is racist (loyal) to some race, whether it be mixed or non-mixed race--it's either-or with no in-between. Get a clue, "Stanley."

CONCLUSION: And "Stanley," note Jesus Christ was foremost anti-semite (anti-Talmud, as Gosp. MARK 7:1-13) who cursed the Jews (Talmudists) in Gosp. MATT., chapt 23, never doubt. For "Jews" (Talmudists) are different fm Judeans, most of whom were NOT followers of Pharisees who murdered Christ. U're a very ignorant, mixed-up, young homosexual Jew, Stanley; u should be much more humble indeed, and keep ur immature mouth shut. Honest elections and death to the Fed. Apollonian

The Southern Poverty Legal Center Rocks! They smash neo-Nazi / white supremacist hate groups to bits by hitting them where it hurts ... in the pocketbook. Their legal actions have shut down more than one of these groups with legal action in U.S. courts of law. If you have the means, please consider supporting the S.P.L.C.

Mr. Ransdell refers to Mr. Potok, of the S.P.L.C., as a "goon." I wonder what he would call a group of young, fired-up neo-Nazis wearing steel- toed boots who get their jollies from nearly stomping a U.S. citizen to death? This incident occured in The Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Tim Owens should focus more on writing real news stories for the Northerner rather than using his press pass to go to free movies. This is why the paper is never picked up anymore. They just want to write easy stories, find some easy ads, and leave early rather than take the time to edit and find interesting stories.

The Northerner refuses to go to meetings and just want students to find stories for them. LAZZZZZZZZZZY. Be an investigative reporter like the paper once was. Beats reading about what movie Tim thinks is cool this week.

Thu Nov 12 2009 17:23
Once last point should be made. I never said that I was going to fight the decision of the paper to pull the ads, this is backed up by the letter I wrote to the editor upon hearing about all of this. It is also mentioned in another smear-job article in the Enquirer today, it says quite plainly that I had no plans to fight the decision. Lies and slander revealed to be such.

Finally, yes I am most probably on an FBI watch list or what ever for simply standing up for the ethnic majority in the same fashion that minority groups stand up for their people and their rights and interests. I have a TV show here that promotes our message in NKY and have for years been active. Of course this makes on a supposed threat in this day and age. But as Skrewdriver once wrote in a song "When the capitalists and the communists co-exist, if you love your country you'll be on their list." I love my country, what it was truly envisioned to be by the founders, I love the culture and history of my people even though we have not always been perfect and believe we deserve to control our own destiny based on what is best for us. I also believe other groups have the same right to do so. If I am "dangerous" because of this then let them put me on a list, I could care less.

Oh and just to let you know, hacking and knocking websites offline is classified as a felony, so that might be something to think about the next time you try. Goons like Mark Potok at the SPLC would be who I would assume would monitor our forums and then go and slander people on website comment boards, they would also have no qualms about engaging in illegal behavior online.And of course you hide behind the cloak of the internet, while people like myself post under my name, here and on our forum.

Whoever claimed I have an extensive criminal record is engaging in slander. I have spent not a day in jail in my life. Whoever finds it prudent to go on websites spreading slander about me is also probably capable of working through channels to get websites they disagree with knocked offline. This happened multiple times when we had ads running. I am not going to say much of anything more here,I will be posting a letter I wrote to the paper that pretty much says all that needs to be said on NatAllNews.The media cooked up this outrage as they always do, in response to the complaints of a few individuals.If you listen to groups like Skrewdriver,No Remorse, or Saga, you will see that the music simply looks to promote identity and pride in the hearts and minds of white people. You had a rapper appear at that school a few weeks back that have made negative statements against whites, there is some hypocrisy there I would say.

To Tim Owens - the only apology you actually owe is for groveling to political correctness. By abruptly pulling the ad and flagellating yourself publicly, you've marginalized yourself and now look spineless. You would have been smarter to let the ad run its course, and then simply refused to renew it at its expiration. All this has done is to reinforce my own personal contempt for our entire public university system and its participants. Academia sucks!!!

By the way, did you know the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) rates NKU a "red light" school? That means they consider your school hostile to free speech.

Oh, and "Brother" L., on what street is your church located? I'll charter a bus a bring down a couple of loads of Communist, Pinko, Jew, Homosexual, Black, Lesbian, Indian, Chicano, and Nation of Islam U.S. citizens to join in your worship service. We'll be right there in your amen box, Brother.

BTW, I'm going to investigate your alleged church and find out if it is a tax-exempt organization.
