Episode 5 - Siege

Take a Walk on the Right Side

In their weekly podcast, Jesse Morton, once an al-Qaeda propagandist, and Matthew Heimbach, former white nationalist and right-wing ideologue, discuss the threat posed by an increasingly transnational far-right wing extremist movement. Together, they dissect the nuances of key far-right propaganda pieces and discuss how they have helped shape the constantly mutating far-right ideology and movement. By including personal experiences Jesse Morton and Matthew Heimbach hope to draw similarities across different extremist movements, encourage others not to be deluded by the extremist mindset of recruiters, and to leave extremist movements if they are actively involved.

In this week’s Take A Walk On The Right Side Jesse and Matthew discuss James Manson’s ‘Siege.’ Although Mason’s work was influenced by William Luther Pierce, he had a very distinct understanding of the context and historical circumstances around ‘The Turner Diaries’, one that gave birth to a more extreme strand of neo-Nazism and that has been resurrected in recent years.
