78: Francis Parker Yockey pt. 1 - American 'Conservative Revolutionary'

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 his peers in the US was that he was at the time already influenced by more obscure fascist writers of the so-called Conservative Revolutionary milieu in Germany like Oswald Spengler, Karl Haushofer, and Carl Schmitt. It seems that Yockey had deeper connections to the Third Reich as well that involved Nazi Intelligence and the secret Operation Pastorious. Yockey inexplicably went missing for a while during the war, but even more interesting was his post-war career gig in Nuremberg, Germany.

And how to get rid of all that. Something like that... Subscribe to our Patreon for weekly premium episodes!
