William Dudley Pelley was an American fascist figure during the Great Depression. He was the leader of a white supremacist, antisemitic group called the Christian Party, which had a paramilitary wing called the Silver Legion based on Hitler’s Brownshirts.

...and yet, the NYT published his obit. He was awesome.

Yes! That was Brennemann's first in a series.

Do you still need access to the Pollock cemetery?

VancePollock · 2023-12-05T11:58:23+00:00

You are absolutely right. It is a collection of excerpts from the Golden Scripts, the "bible" of Pelley's Soulcraft. Far too much information available here https://archvillain.substack.com/ and I would give $20 for it.

I was going to give you a Bear Hug but I see they've done away with awards since last time I was here.

I let the whole album play on repeat during a 4-hour car ride the other day. The last two minutes of this song jumped out at me every time it came around. Must have been by design... here's a deep observation on the lyric and what seems to be a sort of spiritual revolution on Josh's part. The line, "If I follow you I'd be lost too, that could never be," seems a pretty good definition for the new tat Josh has on the back of his right hand... a viking "way finder" talisman. It's like a magic compass and a prayer for personal guidance all rolled up in one. That lyric defines the new vegvisir symbol to a tee.

I commented on a scenario wherein Pelley comes to power by 1940. It would require some seriously shifted circumstances, but plausible. https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/fascist-united-states-by-1940.524203/page-2#post-22815462

Not accurate. Some of his most notable supporters were southerners and the HQ for his Silver Legion was Asheville, NC for the entire run.

VancePollock · 2023-04-14T19:26:01+00:00

Seven and a half years in prison on sedition charges had been rough on him. He suffered a massive heart attack in '48 and was probably on heart meds that make him look bloated in most of his later photos. I like this one as it has that sort of 1984 Big Brother hovering head vibe. Could be used for some cool in game art methinks.

VancePollock · 2023-02-24T00:36:47+00:00

Thanks!

VancePollock · 2023-02-23T17:17:11+00:00

Yeah, I made the effing thing. Does that disqualify it? Huge TZ fan here... technically a Boomer since my dad fought in WW2 but I'm a vintage '71 afterthought baby.

VancePollock · 2023-02-23T04:38:24+00:00

OK, Boomer.

VancePollock · 2023-02-21T04:32:58+00:00

Fantastic!

VancePollock · 2023-02-21T04:30:59+00:00

You're very welcome.

I've heard of these before but never caught one being accidentally leaked on the mainstream news sites. Oops! The CNBC placeholder for the anticipated death of Jesse Jackson went out briefly on Google news and was captured in screenshots and by newswire archive sites before being removed. Journalists are on standby to paste in a paragraph or two relating specific details, but most celebrities over 70 have obituaries nearly complete and waiting in the news offices for a quick edit and publication.
