I don’t intend to devote much of this blog to dealing with the more conspiratorially antisemitic conceptions of the world, but all in moderation. In this post I review a few of the White Genocide “plans” as conceived of on the Internet, most prominently between 2015–2018. To clarify, White Genocide in this sense refers not to the simple fact of the modern demographic changes Western countries are experiencing, but rather to a particular conspiratorial understanding of them through the lens of some sinister, digestible, and decidedly Jewish program.
We’ll begin with what’s undoubtedly the most infamous of these plans.
The Kalergi Plan
Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi lends his name to the so-called “Kalergi Plan,” the Jewish attempt at mixing away ethnic Europeans into a medley of rootless half-breeds.
According to Nick Fuentes in an early debate with Destiny:
As you know, the Kalergi Plan was a plan that was formulated by a Jewish person who was instrumental in the United Nations, and he postulated — I think it was immediately before or during WWII — that the grand scheme that he wanted to see was massive immigration into Germany from North Africa to, in his own words, “breed out the war strains of the German people.”
In a second debate, he expands a bit:
The Kalergi Plan was to create this global race of Asiatic-Afro-Europeans that are stupid and can be lorded over.
This concept is essentially the average Jewish conspiracy theory you’ll find on Gab, Bitchute, or Smoloko (when it was still around); nothing too creative. And while you don’t really tend to hear it much anymore, the Kalergi Plan was incredibly pervasive on much of the Internet during the Alt Right era.
What do we know about Kalergi? Most relevantly, he was a notable 20th-century advocate for collective European community in the style of the later European Union, and the founder of the first official movement for European unification, known as the International Paneuropean Union. Despite some convenient confusion, he was not in fact Jewish but of mixed German and Japanese ancestry, his surname tracing back to old European nobility. (He was also not a member of the B’nai B’rith, as is occasionally claimed!)
Now, being a contemporary of the Nazis and that era of intra-European bloodshed, Kalergi was one of many Western intellectuals opposed to German racialism and chauvinism, and his activism sought to supplant it with a common European identity. Well-meaning as this may have been, it inevitably put a target on his back, and his works were some of the titles featured in the mass book burnings by the Nazis. It’s likely that their propaganda formed the basis of the eventual “plan,” which was more deliberately laid by German neo-Nazi Gerd Honsik in a 2005 book with a confusingly long title.
The primary basis for this theory is a couple of passages from Kalergi’s book Praktischer Idealismus (Practical Idealism), a strange work in which he gives his thoughts on the future of Europe and civilization. In the brief section describing his racial theories, we read the following:
Der Mensch der fernen Zukunft wird Mischling sein. Die heutigen Rassen und Kasten werden der zunehmenden Uberwindung von Raum, Zeit und Vomrteil zum Opfer fallen. Die eurasisch-negroide Zukunftsrasse, auBerlich der altagyptischen ahnlich, wird die Vielfalt der Volker durch eine Vielfalt der Personlichkeiten ersetzen. (22–23)
[The man of the distant future will be half-breed. Today's races and castes will fall victim to the conquest of space, time and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, externally similar to the ancient Egyptian, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of personalities.]
Accordingly, we leap from this to “globalist plan for mandatory race-mixing” in the minds of the theory’s proponents. It is little wonder why falsified versions of this quote and others exist on the Web, crafted ostensibly by those who realized these words aren’t quite enough. After all, one racially-mixed elite’s prediction is not the same as proof of a concrete “plan” to expedite it, itself designated for the fernen Zukunft, the distant future.
In fact, Kalergi, cosmopolitan though he was, was one to recognize European culture as greatly accomplished, White in origin, Christian in spirit, in need of defending, and worth preserving. The book which most clearly spells out these views was Pan-Europa, the manifesto of his aspirant movement replete with an attached membership form.
European culture extends beyond the geographic borders of Europe and the whole American continent, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand. In addition to all this, you find European cultural oases in all the colonies. European culture is White culture, a race that arose on the soil of antiquity and Christianity. Therefore, European culture is also called Christian, contrasted with the Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, and Confucian cultures of Asia. The two poles of European culture are Hellenic individualism and Christian socialism. European culture is essentially activist and rationalist. It strives to push through reasonable goals vigorously. Its highest achievement is science and its practical application is technology, chemistry, and medicine. In this it far surpasses all previous cultures. Its strong activity, its Nordic character, Europe has to thank for its victory over the globe: while the other cultures are in decline, the European is victorious. (35)
It is noteworthy that these more conservative views of his have been basically preserved by the organization he left behind. Proclaims the aforementioned International Paneuropean Union: We Are Christian! (“Europe will be Christian, or it will no longer be Europe”), We Are Conservative! (“we want to keep what is tried and tested and eternally valid”), We Are European! (“Due to their centuries-long common destiny, the peoples of our continent form a spiritual unit”), We Are Free! (“the realization of human and civil rights and the right of peoples to self-determination”).
Kalergi was also an elitist who preferred that an aristocracy of spirit and sentiment — Aristokratie des Geistes und der Gesinnung — replace what he viewed as outdated liberal-democratic institutions, as well as a staunch defender of European imperialism. Later in the book we see him explaining what a unified European foreign policy would consist of. When it comes to Africa, for example, it should be conquered “not only politically, but culturally and economically” (p. 157) in order for “the Great European colony of Africa” to become “Europe’s future granary and source of raw materials” (p. 155).
He was, however, a few other things as well: a philosemite, a Freemason (for a time at least), and a recipient of financial support from a number of prominent Jews. At least one of his three successive wives was Jewish, and we learn from Practical Idealism that he harbored misguided ideas, common for that era, about Jewish racial purity and dominance in Bolshevism. Excerpts follow, kept lengthy to ensure they covers everything:
From the mass of European humanity, two quality races stand out: blood aristocracy and Jewry. Separated from each other, they both hold firmly to the belief in their higher mission, of their better blood, to human differences in rank. In these two heterogeneous and preferred breeds lies the core of future European nobility: aristocracy in the feudal blood, as far as he did not let himself be corrupted by capital or the court, and aristocracy in the Jewish brain. As a guarantee of a better future there remains a small, residual, morally upstanding, rustic aristocracy and a small battle group of revolutionary intelligentsia. Here the communion between Lenin, the man from rural gentry, Trotsky, and the Jewish literary man grows, here the contrasts of character and spirit, from squire and man of letters, of rustic and urban, pagan and Christian people reconcile in the creative synthesis of revolutionary aristocracy. (45)
The mainstays of the intellectual aristocracy: of capitalism, journalism and literature are Jews. The superiority of their spirit predestines them to become a major factor in future nobility. . . . Instead of destroying Jewry, Europe has reluctantly, through this artificial selection process refined and educated the Jews to be a leader nation of the future. . . . The Jewish heroes and martyrs of the Eastern and Central European Revolution are the equal of the non-Jewish heroes of the World War and are superior in courage, perseverance and idealism. These traits, which once created the Christian world movement, they now set as the superior goal of the socialist movement. The Jews of the disinherited masses of Europe have been more richly gifted in spiritual salvation and morality than any other nation. Modern Judaism exceeds all other nations in its percentage of great men. . . . The main roots of anti-Semitism are limitedness and envy: narrowness in religious or scientific thought; envy in the spiritual or in economics. The fact is that they have emerged from an international religious community, not from a local race, the Jews are the people of the strongest blood mixture; the fact that they cut themselves a thousand years from the other nations, they are the people with the strongest inbreeding. To unite, as the nobility, the elect among them willpower with mental acuity, while another part of the Jews displays the shortcomings of inbreeding with the deficiencies of the blood: lack of character and narrowness. . . . Millennial slavery has given the Jews, with rare exceptions, the form of the master race [or “master-men,” Herrenmenschen]. Permanent suppression inhibits personal development: and therefore takes away a major element of the aesthetic noble ideal. (49–53)
The noble man of the future is neither feudal nor Jewish, neither bourgeois nor proletarian: he will be synthetic. The races and classes will disappear in the modern sense and the personalities will remain. Only by connecting with the best blood of the citizens, the viable elements of erstwhile feudal nobility will climb to new heights; only by uniting with the peaks of Gentile Europeanness will the Jewish element of the future nobility reach full development. (55)
If the brief, earlier passage was the basis for the “miscegenation plan” concept, these are the basis for the notion that Jews were intended to form the ruling class. Surely it can be said that Kalergi gave his conspiracy-hungry detractors something to work with regarding the latter! Yet this is not quite what Kalergi intends with these passages where, in his fanciful predictions, he assumes that while the future aristocracy of spirit would heavily include Jewish elements, all would nonetheless face dissolution in the melting pot of European elites. Rather than a Jewish ruling class, Kalergi saw a ruling class of mischlinge, producing something new entirely.
When glancing at the fullness of Kalergi’s Weltanschauung, something very different from a liberal-Jewish-globalist mastermind of White genocide comes into view. Indeed, this is probably why when Adolf Hitler himself criticizes “everybody’s bastard, Coudenhove” in his Zweites Buch, he attacks him solely for the supposed deficiencies of his Pan-Europa proposal, and not for anything even remotely approaching this evil “Kalergi plan” — unless we are to believe Uncle Adolf himself missed such a thing? Whatever the case, a sense of cosmopolitanism and Jewish affiliations made Kalergi an attractive target for those who attempt to retroactively summon conspiracies out of thin air. But, alas, there’s so little substance to this one that it seems the greater responsibility for the confusion lies with bad actors desperate to simplify a complicated problem rather than anything genuinely suspicious or easily misunderstood about Kalergi himself.1
Kaufman Plan
The “plan” of Theodore N. Kaufman is far more gruesome and, to me at least, intriguing. Unlike with Kalergi, this one involves words that were actually written by a man who was actually Jewish!2
Things to note off the bat about Kaufman are that he was, by himself, unimportant (he owned a theater ticket company3), as well as what we can safely term a mentally ill attention-seeker. (“Fast-talking, fist-pounding, intense” according to one interview.) The latter can be surmised from a few of his previously-held eccentric beliefs: agitating for American neutrality in WWII, arguing that all Americans should be sterilized as some sort of preemptive pacifist measure, etc. It was only when he applied this second suggestion to Germany, however, that he finally became someone.
In Germany Must Perish! Kaufman demands that Germans as a race — in Western eyes, being the originator of two world wars, now — be sterilized and have their lands divvied up and annexed by neighbors, if Europe is to ever learn peace. In 1942, he’d again changed his mind, substituting much softer and more mainstream proposals including democratic reeducation and disarmament. But this mattered not, because by then the Goebbels press had already taken note of the Jew’s harsh words. In August, 1941, Goebbels writes in his diary:
This Jew did a real service for the enemy side. Had he written this book for us, he could not have made it any better. I will have this published in an edition of millions for Germany and above all for the front, and will write the forward and afterward myself.
And in October:
The important thing is that his opinion is brought to the attention of the German people and that the German people receive new strength from it
Had the Nazis not learned of the booklet, it most likely wouldn’t even need to be addressed. But their efforts were also the source of all the invented details about Kaufmann and his plan that still get circulated online. Suddenly, Kaufman transforms from a small businessman into a close ally of FDR (a member of his “brain trust”), and we learn that FDR had personally dictated some of the chapters of his book. Even the man’s name eventually morphed from Theodore Newman Kaufman to “Theodore Nathan Kaufmann,” misspelling his surname and replacing his middle name with a more recognizably Jewish one, at least to German readers. Those who continue to bring up Mr. Kaufmann and his plan almost always use this incorrect spelling, indicative of the fact that their information comes straight from Goebbels and his so-called “Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.”
The Nazis also pretended the book was a wild success with foreign audiences. The Frankfurter Zeitung ran a story that stated:
The President of the American Federation for Peace, Theodore Kaufman, wrote, as part of the official North American war propaganda, a book which was circulated with a particularly large circulation, not only in the United States, but throughout the entire world.
Sure enough, to this day their ideological heirs will repeat the claim.
Mark Weber’s introduction to the IHR’s reprint reiterates the common notion that a “review in the weekly Time magazine, March 24, 1941, called Kaufman's plan a ‘sensational idea.’” In fact, the review compared it to “A Modest Proposal,” noting that readers wondered whether it signaled “the first appearance of the Streicher mind in the U.S.” (One reader even objected to the fact Time reviewed the book at all.) The only real attention the book received in Western audiences came from the initial spectacle of Kaufman shipping it in miniature coffins to the offices of major publications. After receiving mocking reviews, it was Kaufman himself who clipped phrases like “a sensational idea!” out of context for later editions, practically doing the work of the Nazis for them.
Not only did the Nazis (re)interpret the whole episode as a wildly popular plan written with the pen of American elites, they even strengthened the proposal itself from one of sterilization into “a plan to cold-bloodedly exterminate a people of 80 million,” which would surely be brought to fruition if Germany were to lose the war:
As monstrous as a plan to cold-bloodedly exterminate a people of 80 million is, and as much as one may be inclined to consider it impossible and unbelievable, World Jewry is serious. We would not be the first people to be murdered by the Jews. . . .
Slowly, column after column is taken into the barracks and tents where mocking Jewish doctors carelessly sterilize them. Each German soldier has to pay the Jews for the operation. Then the troops march, under Jewish and Soviet supervision, to forced labor in the wild mountains of the Balkans, to Siberia or the Arctic Sea. There, the heroes of this war, the Führer’s soldiers who bear the Knight’s Cross, will be tortured with the “tested” methods of Soviet forced labor, serving as slaves under miserable conditions, until starvation releases them from this life. . . .
How would it be if one wanted to treat 20 million Jews according to the proposal of their racial comrade Kaufman rather than 80 million Germans? Then peace would certainly be assured. For the Jew is the troublemaker, the warmonger, everywhere in the world. (“The War Goal of World Plutocracy”)
Another propaganda piece by the same author argued that “when you see this symbol” (that is, the yellow star) you must be reminded of Theodore N. Kaufman and his idea that “80 million . . . German women, men, and children are to be exterminated.” This is “why each Jew must be marked publicly as a Jew,” and why “each German who through false sentimentality supports the Jew in any way, even through friendly relations, commits treason against the German people.”
When it came down to it, though, even the Nazis were aware of how unbelievable the narrative was, which is why the leading propagandist for the matter, Wolfgang Diewerge, even felt the need to above stress that “one may be inclined to consider it impossible and unbelievable,” but that they “would not be the first people to be murdered by the Jews.” To deal with potential doubters, vocal propagandists were instructed to emphasize that
One must realize that this race is capable of thoughts and actions like no other race and no other person on this earth. Were it not an insult to the creatures God has made, one would want to compare the members of this race to animals.
Kaufman was thus, rather than an actual threat, a subject seized by the Nazis to justify their militant actions and antisemitic aggression. He provided a compelling basis for the notion of a looming anti-German genocide through which the anti-Jewish genocide was justified as a preemptive measure. In his November 16, 1941 article “The Jews Are Guilty!” Goebbels revealingly informed his comrades:
But the Führer’s prophecy of 30 January 1939 to the German Reichstag is also being fulfilled: If international finance Jewry should succeed in plunging the world into war once again, the result will be not the Bolshevization of the world and thereby the victory of the Jews, but rather the destruction of the Jewish race in Europe.
We are seeing the fulfillment of the prophecy. The Jews are receiving a penalty that is certainly hard, but more than deserved. World Jewry erred in adding up the forces available to it for this war, and now is gradually experiencing the destruction that it planned for us, and would have carried out without a second thought if it had possessed the ability. It is perishing according its own law: “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”
Hooton Plan
So we end on Earnest Hooton, a fairly prominent anthropologist from the same period as Kaufman and Kalergi.
If we are to take seriously the White Genocide memes, such as the following, then on the basis of a scant resemblance to George Soros (?) and a since-deleted Wikipedia comment about “scattered sources” describing the man as such (although “proof of this is lacking”), Earnest Hooton must have been Jewish. Every single time!
Of course, Hooton was not Jewish, and in fact advocated for Jews to disappear into the gentile mix as his recommended solution to the “Jewish problem.” But to minds like the one behind the meme, this is deeply troubling. How could he then have advanced ideas only possible for Jews? This becomes even more problematic considering the fact that out of all the alleged plans, Hooton’s is the most severe.
His plan is premised on one brief article written in the short-lived newspaper PM in an issue devoted to the German Question: “Breed War Strain out of Germans,” page 1 and 2. (If you recall Fuentes’ above comments, you can appreciate how he mixes up Kalergi with Hooton.) Hooton’s idea was that “to break the vicious cycle of interaction between a militaristic state and the predatory tendencies of its citizens, the former must be destroyed and the latter neutralized or bred out.” His four policy proposals are the following:
execute or imprison all leading Nazis, expel the officers
turn most of the German soldiers into laborers for the rebuilding of the Allied countries; if they eventually earn the right to naturalization, they would only be allowed to marry non-German women
break up Germany politically and eventually allow democratic self-governance
encourage marriage between Germans and the resident Allied supervisors as well as the immigration of non-Germans into the German state
This proposal clearly matches the White Genocide narrative the best — if we swap in “white people” for “Germans,” that is. But of course, this was a suggestion that Hooton as a mere anthropologist had no authority whatsoever to implement, and that’s really the tie that binds these figures together. In the end, there is no need to link scattered opinions expressed during the fervor of the German Question to modern demographic flows, but when you’re looking for the laziest possible way to comprehend a complex reality, that may be simply all you have to work with.
A book has been recently released and is available online for those interested in further reading about Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi.
Most of the following relies on Bytwerk’s “The Argument for Genocide in Nazi Propaganda” and Karmasyn’s “Theodore Kaufman.”
He’s also said he made his money founding a number of small Anglo-Jewish newspapers, although nothing at all returns when one searches for them online.
Interesting stuff. I found your channel from your comment on one of my videos.
