Nazi's Soon To Lobby Halls of US Congress

America has a deep history associated in Nazism. Although many wrongly believe that the conception of a white, blond-haired, blue-eyed master Nordic race started with Hitler, truth is it did not and that it started in the United Sates. The idea was created in California, decades before Hitler came to power. California eugenicists played an important, although little known, role in the American eugenics movement's campaign for ethnic cleansing.

Eugenics was the racist pseudoscience designed to justify the removal of all "unfit," preserving only those who conformed to a Nordic stereotype. This philosophy was national policy and reflected in all forced sterilization and segregation laws, as well as marriage restrictions, prior to the Civil Rights movement. In Mein Kampf, published in 1924, Hitler quoted American eugenic ideology and openly and followed closely the progress of the American eugenics movement. Hitler once stated, "The laws of several American states concerning prevention of reproduction by people whose progeny would, in all probability, be of no value or be injurious to the racial stock."

George Rockwell was the founder and ran the American Nazi Party from its inception in 1959 until his assassination in 1967. He invented the phrase "White Power" while in 1966 during a debate with Black Panther Stokely Carmichael. Now it seems that Nazism is again on the rise. The American Nazi Party recently registered its own lobbyist on Capitol Hill, 2008 National Socialist Movement presidential candidate John Taylor Bowles. Bowles registered with the Clerk of the House as a lobbyist this past week.

Based on a PDF of his application, as a lobbyist he will focus on issues pertaining to the "Political Rights and ballot access laws."

Bowles once ran as a Republican for the Baltimore city convention. He came in fourth out of five candidates. On April 21, 2007, he held a rally on the South Carolina state house steps on Hitler’s birthday. In his speech that day he stated, “The National Socialist Movement is America’s largest Nazi party; we’re the number one pro-white organization now,” In 2008, the former federal officer in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, ran his 2008 presidential campaign from a Ku Klux Klan museum in Laurens County, South Carolina as the candidate for the National Socialist Movement Party.
