Anti-Semitic Statements, Eugenics Policy, Interview with former KKK
member and neo-Nazi group founder
“Like, I think it’s okay to hate Jews if you hate them because
they’re Jewish and they wear a stupid fuckin’ frisbie on their head
[correct term: yarmulke or kippah] and walk around [and] think their
God’s chosen people, but it’s not okay to hate somebody [‘born of Jewish
blood’] just because their parents were stupid fuckin’ Jews and wore
stupid frisbies on their head and thought the Jews were God’s chosen
people […] Not everybody of Jewish blood is okay with me, it depends on
if they follow the Jewish, uh… […] Satanic Jews are fine,” (Adam, “Doug
Mesner [Lucien Greaves/Douglas Misicko] Satanic Temple Anti-Semitic
Rant” (transcribed).”
Note: this blog and blogger strongly disagrees with anti-semitism and philosophies of hate.
A “Literary” Satanism? Decrypting Proto-Fascist and Antisemitic Themes in The Revolt of the Angels by Anatole France
In the attempt by The Satanic Temple’s leadership to construct a
new, coherent idea of “Satan” which they calculate will be an acceptable
exoteric ideological façade to present to the world, the sect has a
program of two “Primary Readings” for new members. These readings are The Revolt of the Angels (1914, originally La Révolte des anges) by Anatole France (1844–1924, born Jacques Anatole François Thibault) and The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined (2011) by Steven Pinker (1954–present) (thesatanictemple.com, “The Satanic Temple Library”; freethinker).
In attempting to add a “literary” sophistication and legitimacy to
their Satanism, TST leaders also often describe their Satan as
“Miltonic,” in reference to the character named Satan in Paradise Lost (1667)
by John Milton, a militant Puritan, although this work is not described
by the group as a “Primary Reading.” A web page titled “The Satanic
Temple Library” on the sect’s website also recommends a number of other
texts, many from the 19th and late 18th century. Among these we find
William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1790), a work in
which Blake “recounts the origin of the belief in the Jews as chosen
people,” arguing that the Jews (who he refers to as “long spindle nosed
rascal[s]”) are “liars” and that Christ was an “Unbeliever” who aimed to
“abolish the Jewish Imposture” (Shabetai 148–149). This argument bears striking resemblance to the thesis of Anatole France in The Revolt of the Angels.
“Tom Metzger, a former “Grand Dragon” of the California Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and founder of a neo-Nazi group called White Aryan Resistance.”
“In the Might is Right podcast, Misicko engages Metzger in a lengthy discussion in which Misicko questions Metzger about “Jewish bloodlines” and the racial policies of Nazi Germany (Bugbee and Mesner, “Might is Right Special” https://archive.org/details/MightIsRightSpecial
“[note: the interview, which lasts 36 minutes, starts at about
19:27:30 and ends at 20:03:50]). At one point during the recorded
conversation with Metzger, Misicko states, “I think there should
be eugenics policy, population control policy. Something that ensures
quality reproduction.” Although Misicko qualifies his
pro-eugenics statement with the caveat that his ideal eugenics system
would be based on IQ testing or “intelligence laws” (as opposed to being
based strictly on racial grounds), it is known that IQ testing is
culturally biased and that race is a cultural construct. Thus when
Metzger objects that “[although] there are gray areas […] if you judge
the black race by its whole, you must come up with the idea that they’re
definitely an inferior race,” Misicko tries to win Metzger over to his
position by implying that eugenics would still decimate the
Afro-diasporic population even if it was based on IQ testing instead of
race when he argues, “But that being the case [i.e., the case being that
posited by Metzger—that “the black race by its whole (is) definitely an
(intellectually) inferior race”], you still wouldn’t have to enact
racial laws, you’d just have to enact intelligence laws, and if that
[black intellectual inferiority] was being the case, then that good
segment of the population would have to drop off.” Here it is clear that
what Misicko euphemistically posits as “that good segment of the
population” is an intellectually “inferior” segment of the population
whose “race” is disproportionately Black. What is essential to
comprehend about this segment of the interview is that Misicko is
attempting to sell de jure “IQ-based” eugenics to Metzger as de facto Black
genocide. Metzger responds to Misicko’s idea by saying, “Well, we’ll
leave you the project of raising the IQ of the black race to about 140
and I’ll be standing by when you’re successful,” prompting laughter from
Misicko and his co-interviewers, Amy and Shane Bugbee. Shortly after
that, Amy Bugbee (the wife of Shane Bugbee) chimes in to assert her
belief that white people are not “necessarily the same species as blacks
or Asians, you know, or any number of different races.” Tellingly, the
Confederate battle flag was prominently displayed at the studio where
Misicko recorded with the Bugbees (see: 5.2), who also strangely claimed
that they held their wedding ceremony “in South Carolina because it is
legal to fly the Confederate flag there” (Sula). The interview ends with
Misicko promising to send Metzger a “personalize[d] copy” of Might is Right.”
Might Is Right or The Survival of the Fittest, is a book by pseudonymous author Ragnar Redbeard.
First published in 1890, it heavily advocates egoist anarchism,
amorality, consequentialism and psychological hedonism. In Might Is
Right, Redbeard rejects conventional ideas of human and natural rights
and argues that only strength or physical might can establish moral
right….
There are also controversial parts of the book that deal with race and male–female relations, claiming that the woman and the family as a whole are the property of the man and proclaiming the innate superiority of the Anglo-Saxon race. The book also contains many strong anti-Semitic statements…. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Might_Is_Right

Unmasking Lucien Greaves, Leader of the Satanic Temple
The author and Doug at a book signing for Might Is Right, 2004…. Lucien
Greaves of the Satanic Temple first showed up at my door over a decade
ago. He wanted a copy of a book I had republished called <i>Might
Is Right</i>. It was a 100-year-old tome, long forgotten by most,
with the exception of Anton LaVey,… The release of this new version of
Might Is Right became a phenomenon within the underground, and that is
what brought the future leader of the Satanic Temple to my door. Only
his name wasn’t Lucien Greaves at the time, it was Doug Mesner. (This
isn’t the first time Doug has been connected with the Temple, though it
is the first time he has publicly admitted his involvement.) When he
first came to my home, Doug brought a stack of his drawings and writings
with him. It was amazing stuff, and much to my surprise he left it with
me. Not long after our first meeting, and after reviewing his
sketchbooks at length, I reprinted a limited edition version of Might
Is Right and asked Doug to illustrate the chapter headings for it. His
work on the book was truly excellent. When I began podcasting in
2002, I invited him to co-host the first-ever live streaming 24 hour
broadcast. For 24 hours straight we interviewed guests, philosophized,
and argued. It was so great we did another one a year later….
