The Empire Never Ended

TENE watches two pretty weird films about or inspired by the Order, Bob Matthews' white nationalist group of the early '80s: Brotherhood of Murder (1998) and Costa-Gavras' lesser-known film, Betrayed (1988). Each film royally fucks up in its own special way, creating some very strange representations of the 'Silent Brotherhood'. Subscribe at patreon.com/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod!

TENE finally dives headfirst into the Order, the most successful white nationalist terrorist group of the 1980s lionized by neo-Nazis today. Boris looks at founder Robert Matthews' early life and the development of his "Silent Brotherhood", with all the weirdness and stupidity one might expect from people who use the Turner Diaries as a life plan.

TENE dusts off the Fash-Files and looks into two mysterious close encounters of the third kind. Fritz offers a fresh look at the famous stories of the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter of 1955 and the Lovette-Cunningham Incident at White Sands, New Mexico in '56. He examines the social and political environment in which these stories were popularized and argues that understanding Christian Identity sug...

TENE watches the "White Supremacy" episode of the NatGeo docu-series, Trafficked , and discovers that it's basically a Neo-Nazi promotional film. When the documentary is not presenting Neo-Nazis in their own idealized self-image, it's promoting private intelligence agencies and hinting at Russian meddling. This is how NOT to cover neo-Nazis.

TENE concludes Francis Parker Yockey's weird life and work with Fritz's final book report on Imperium. Featuring Francis' hot bad takes on American, Russian, and Japanese culture and history, his insane fantasies about America's activity in post-war Germany, and some unsurprisingly wrong predictions about our geopolitical present.

TENE finishes the ridiculous life of Francis Parker Yockey with his equally ridiculous demise in San Francisco County Jail. Rey continues his look at Yockey's vast connections in the Nazi network of post-war Europe and America. More interesting, however, is Yockey's developing adoration of Stalin and the Soviet Union, which made him some very strange bedfellows. Subscribe at patreon.com/tenepod an...

Fritz introduces Francis Parker Yockey's magnum opus, Imperium, to the TENE library, which turns out to be way worse than any of the guys imagined. Get to know Yockey's theory of history and society and stand in awe at his terrible handle on modernism, ancient history, and European culture. Despite being among the most important fascist books of the post-war period, Imperium, as it turns out, is d...

In this second installment of Francis Parker Yockey's life and career, Rey narrates Francis' adventures in Europe as well as his powerful connections in the United States. Yockey's quest for recognition in the fascist scene nets him a few unusual roommates as well as a long list of lovers as he bounces from rejection to rejection. Between his pouting and self-pity, Francis somehow manages to make...

Boris, Fritz, and Rey get word of a bizarre series of podcasts featuring a debate between Balkan Muslims and TENE's favorite Montenegrin Orthodox Priest, Nikola Poleksić. Nikola's interlopers seem unaware that Nikola is also an External Adept of the O9A 'nexion' the Astral Bone Gnawer's Lodge, with predictably absurd results.

The TENE fellas get good and smashed at the Death Valley compound to celebrate the new year, and basically, this is what happened. That's probably about as good a description as can be made about this one... Also, some clips from David Myatt and Richard Butler's lost podcast, The Dick and Davie Jape Town, and a sneak peek of the next arc of episodes. Subscribe to our Patreon  for weekly premium ep...

In episode 78, TENE goes through the early days of Francis Parker Yockey, an unusual American fascist. In the late 1930s, Yockey was a young (and very pretentious) intellectual deeply involved in the Fascist movement in the US and connected to every significant group of the time: German-American Bund, Silver Shirts, Father Coughlin's NUSJ, America First Committee, etc. What made him different from...

The Empire Never Ended takes an awful detour through the history and catalog of Resistance Records, North America's version of Rock Against Communism that made most of National Alliance's income. The guys talk RaHoWa, Bound For Glory, New Minority, and other progressively worse bands. Also, a bunch of awful clips and Fritz attempts to write a Resistance Records song and somehow overshoots... This...

Unlocked! Movie night at the TENE compound! In this spiritual sequel to their episode on Yugoslav partisan films, the Empire Never Ended visits Hollywood depictions of Yugoslavia in World War II. The crew watches wartime propaganda flick Chetniks! The Fighting Guerillas (1943), genre-setting Corman B-film The Secret Invasion (1963), boomer dad favorite Force 10 from Navarone (1978), and made for T...

In another theological episode, Fritz gives his first and last Cosmotheistic sermon, explaining the surprisingly vacant texts of William Luther Pierce's half-assed 'religion' for his National Alliance. TENE's exhaustive concordance on the three original holy texts of Cosmotheism, The Path, On Living Things, and On Society as well as Pierce's most important recorded sermon, Cosmotheism: The Wave of...

The Empire Never Ended concludes their biographical study of William Luther Pierce and goes deep into the multi-decade development and collapse of his National Alliance. Fritz talks about the impact of the Turner Diaries, introduces Pierce's pet religion "Cosmotheism", and gives some idea of the National Alliance's international reach. The guys also discuss Resistance Records, the absurd Vanguard...

In the second meeting of TENE's Fash Fic Book Club, Fritz reads William Luther Pierce, III's infamous book, the Turner Diaries. The story, which originally began to appear as installments in National Alliance's nazi rag, Attack! in 1975, is framed as a serious of unbelievably dry diary entires by "known racist" named Earl Turner, as he battles The System in the early 90s. It's a shitty bad book, b...

TENE finally meets William Luther Pierce, III, founder of the National Alliance (NA), author of the Turner Diaries, and basically Neo-Nazi Dr. Evil. Fritz narrates Bill's life from his childhood as a little white supremacist, through his illustrious physics career, to his somewhat less-impressive beginnings as one of America's worst Nazis. The boys hear how Pierce climbed the ladder from the ANP/N...

Rey concludes his tour of duty with the American Nazi Party by telling the story of its final Fuhrer, Matthias Koehl, and his take on Esoteric Hitlerism in New Order. The crew briefly examines the life and thought of Koehl's greatest influences, Savitri Devi, who said that Hitler was an avatar of Vishnu, and Miguel Serrano, who mixed and matched esoteric 'traditions' until landing on a Hitler-Jesu...

Rey wraps up the darkly funny life of George Lincoln Rockwell and examines his lasting influence on neo-Naziism in the U.S. and abroad. The boys learn about Rockwell's surprisingly international World Union of National Socialists (WUNS) and the political intrigue they wrought on themselves, the controversy surrounding the creation of the well-known slogan, "White Power", and the American Nazi Part...

Rey gets Boris and Fritz to watch four... documentaries?... about the American Nazi Party approved by none other than the National Socialist Order, three of which are directed and narrated by somehow-still-living joke, James Mason. Jimbo's fawning take on George Lincoln Rockwell's disastrous gubernatorial campaign and his unintentionally hilarious supercut of "lost footage" are bad enough, yet pal...

Rey finally introduces the infamous and pathetic George Lincoln Rockwell and his American Nazi Party to the TENE pod roster of tragicomic fascist freaks. Son of a sociopathic Vaudevillian and clearly nostalgic for some 1930s-style LARPing, "Commander" Rockwell founds one of the most important and comically underappreciated neo-Nazi groups of the '60s that gave us such figures at Matt Koehl, Daniel...

Boris updates The Empire Never Ended on our pals in Montenegro followed by a dive into the strange world of uncanonical, unrecognized Orthodox churches. The TENE squad tries to make sense of vast array of strange acronyms and an icon gallery of weirdos ranging from Russian Nazi collaborationists in New York to apocalyptic anti-communist religious fanatics.   This is The Empire Never Ended, the Ant...

[UNLOCKED - Part one of the British Israelism / Christian Identity (ep 55) / Aryan Nations (ep 57) trilogy] Despite what its name might suggest, Rey introduces the British Israelite movement to TENE's arc on Americanist fascism and adds a whole new roster of fashy freaks to their collection. 'British Israelism' is the claim that the British - and eventually Europeans and 'Whites' - are the truest...

After failing to accept TENE's challenge to a rap battle, Fritz decides to be neighborly and meet David Myatt, founder of the Order of Nine Angles, on his own turf: faux-academic nonsense otherwise known as the 'Hebdomian Way'. Myatt is claiming that this 'philosophy' has replaced the O9A and represents a departure from his "extremist past"... Fritz disagrees. In fact, his Hebdomian Way is merely...

TENE interviews Bill Campbell, author of The Day the Klan Came to Town , a graphic novel fictionalizing an actual historical battle that took place between the Ku Klux Klan and a multi-ethnic neighborhood of Carnegie, Pennsylvania in 1923 through the eyes of an Italian immigrant mine worker. Bill discusses the creation of his characters, the historicity of the battle, and the research that went in...
