How America's Military Was Taken Over by White Supremacists | How Power Works with Matt Kennard

Jul 17, 2026 | Matt Kennard joins us on the PolJOE sofa to unpack his new book - Irregular Army: How the US Military Recruited Neo-Nazis, Gang Members and Criminals.

Kennard details how, as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan dragged on, the Bush administration faced a recruitment crisis. Rather than reintroducing the draft, it loosened enlistment standards, opening the door to recruits who would previously have been barred from service. Drawing on years of investigative reporting, interviews with veterans, whistle-blowers and extremists themselves, Kennard breaks down how those policies reshaped the culture of the US military and created consequences that are still unfolding today.

He also examines the wider political legacy of those decisions, arguing that the culture fostered has since spilled into American public life - particularly through the second Trump administration. He examines the role of Pete Hegseth, explaining why his retreat from tackling extremism has institutionalised the very trends that began during the War on Terror.

Masked White Nationalists Descend on Washington DC

THE TELEGRAPH: Hundreds of balaclava-clad Patriot Front members march through capital on independence day chanting ‘reclaim America’

Hundreds of masked white supremacists descended on Washington DC ahead of July 4th celebrations on Saturday, marching through the city centre and riding on the city subway.

An estimated 400 members of a group called the Patriot Front met for a march in the US capital on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Dressed in khaki trousers and navy blue shirts, the marchers hid their faces behind white balaclavas, baseball caps and sunglasses.

One picture of the day, shared prominently on social media, shows a black woman sitting on a metro train surrounded by masked white men.

The group carried US and Confederate flags as it marched to a drum beat near the Capitol.

In a video posted on social media, two young men apparently associated with the group declared that the march was proof of the “total Aryan victory”.

According to videos posted on social media, members of the march chanted “Reclaim America” and “Life, liberty, victory!” » | Jörg Luyken | Sunday, July 5, 2026

This is what you get when you elect and then re-elect a racist and fascist as president. More especially when that fascist is a convicted criminal who is hell-bent on turning America white again! He is emboldening these despicable people to exercise their so-called fascist rights under the US Constitution. (Just because you can express your opinions doesn’t mean that you should, especially when other innocent people’s rights are threatened.) Trump is turning America and the rest of the world upside down. — © Mark Alexander

Elon Musk Posted about Race Almost Every Day in January

THE GUARDIAN: Many social media posts by Tesla CEO on his platform are indiscernible from those of white supremacists, say experts

Elon Musk’s longtime fixation on a white racial majority is intensifying. The richest man in the world posted about how the white race was under threat, made allusions to race science or promoted anti-immigrant conspiracy content on 26 out of 31 days in January, according to the Guardian’s analysis of his social media output. The posts, made on his platform X, reflect a renewed embrace of what extremism experts describe as white supremacist material.

“Whites are a rapidly dying minority,” Musk said on 22 January, a short time before taking the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos, while reposting an Irish anti-immigrant influencer’s video about demographic change.

Musk’s posts included him repeatedly claiming white people face systemic discrimination, endorsing the conspiracy that there is an ongoing genocide against white people in countries around the world and promoting a claim that white people would be “slaughtered” by non-whites if they become a demographic minority.

“If you stripped Elon Musk’s name off of these things and showed them to me, I would think that this was a white supremacist,” said Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Extremism, who reviewed a selection of the posts. » | Nick Robins-Early | Thursday, February 12, 2026

The Founders of This New Development Say You Must Be White to Live There

THE NEW YORK TUMES: Housing rights experts say a community restricted to white residents is illegal, but the creators believe they could win a potential challenge in court in the current political climate.

In the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, nearly an hour from the closest city, a small group of homesteaders is building an exclusive community from scratch.

Applicants to the community are screened with an in-person interview, a criminal-background check, a questionnaire about ancestral heritage and sometimes even photographs of their relatives.

The community’s two architects — a classically trained French horn player who has livestreamed his own sex videos, and a former jazz pianist arrested but not charged for attempted murder in Ecuador — say they must personally confirm that applicants are white before they can be welcomed in.

“Seeing someone who doesn’t present as white might lead us to, among other things, not admit that person,” said one founder, Eric Orwoll, who moonlights as a Platonic scholar on YouTube but is now focused on developing 160 acres in Ravenden, Ark., into a community strictly for white, heterosexual people called Return to the Land.

The far right is surging in the United States, driven in part by white nationalists exploiting economic anxieties and a populace increasingly frustrated with the political status quo. Now, as the Trump administration rolls back diversity, equity and inclusion policies, cracks down on immigration and offers pardons to white supremacists, some see an opening. In creating their community, the founders of Return to the Land are testing anti-discrimination housing laws that have been in place for 57 years. » | Debra Kamin | Photographs by Whitten Sabbatini | Debra Kamin reported from Return to the Land’s compound in Ravenden, Ark. | Published Tuesday August 19, 2025.

The Ultra-Right and the New Neo-Nazis | The New Terrorist Threat | Documentary

Aug 15, 2024 | Across Europe, the next generation of white supremacists are being radicalised. They fantasize about an ethnically pure Europe and are taking action. In Germany, a far-right plan to overthrow the state was averted. In France, six men were arrested for plotting to attack politicians. In Bratislava, a student with links to the far right murdered two people outside an LGTB club. We met with the people who see themselves as ideologists of a racial war and investigate these new white supremacists and the threat they pose.

Wunsiedel, Northern Bavaria. The neo-nazi political party, Dritte Weg, has gathered to commemorate Adolf Hitler’s deputy, Rudolf Hess. Locals watch on silently as they march through the streets in torchlight parade, carrying banners and banning drums. What is happening in Germany is happening all over Europe. The threat of violent action from the extensive far-right network has never been so present.

Their targets: Muslims, Jews, migrants, left-wing association leaders who, according to them, threaten the continent with a “great racial replacement”. We spent two years investigating these semi-clandestine networks in France, Germany and Romania. We set up a fake profile on a French neo-nazi forum. It’s one of many spreading hate online and has over 3,600 members. There are also online dating sites exclusively for white people, celebrating ‘white life, white love’. Members trade in Nazi memorabilia and we meet a man who served in the SS back in the Second World War. Shockingly, he still feels nostalgia for Nazi ideals.

A role-model for many of these ‘white warriors’ is Daniel Conversano, who quit France for the ‘white land’ of Romania where he has formed a community of ‘braves’. His followers include convicted terrorist, Login Nisin, who admitted to plotting to kill Christophe Castaner and Jean-Luc Melenchon. We visited Conversano and his supporters in Bucharest and questioned him on his views.

Many see the coming “racial civil war” as inevitable. As terrorist expert, Frank Dittrich, explains “There a constant risk of a group of people who will commit, at worst, attacks against government institutions, migrants or political enemies.” Far-right extremists are now considered one of the biggest threats to democracy in Europe.

Buffalo Massacre: Gunman Cited Racist “Great Replacement” Conspiracy Theory Popularized by Fox News

May 16, 2022 • The mass shooter who killed 10 people in Buffalo, New York, on Saturday posted a racist manifesto online before targeting a majority-Black neighborhood. His writings took heavily from conservative conspiracy theories that white people were in danger of being replaced by people of color. This so-called Great Replacement conspiracy theory has been promoted by major far-right media figures including Tucker Carlson of Fox News. “What it does is create a dynamic where believers view immigrants and nonwhite people as an existential threat not only to themselves physically but to their position in society,” says Nikki McCann Ramírez, associate research director at Media Matters for America, who has researched how Carlson uses his show to launder white nationalist ideology. We also speak with prominent antiracist scholar Ibram X. Kendi, who says mainstream conservatives are increasingly parroting extremist talking points.
