My offerings to Taboo Truth have declined recently as I research and write Part 4 of “History of National Socialism in America,” for The Barnes Review, deadline 8/15. Part 4 covers 2002 and the death of William Pierce of the National Alliance (and the post-911 Project for a new Zionist Century) up to the present day.
The richness and complexity of NS groups and personalities in this period is almost overwhelming, and I have only so many words allowed to chronicle it. Some groups can only be mentioned in a single sentence summary, and even a single name in a list.
Patriot Front deserves a full essay of its own, so I devote a multi-paragraph entry to this group in the History. Part 4 will appear in the Nov/Dec issue of The Barnes Review. I have agreed not to post any essay here in Taboo Truth until it appears in print in TBR, so we can see Part 4 here in November.
In researching Patriot Front, I studied the PF website, especially its “Manifesto.” PF’s iconography and symbolism—it’s presentation—appears patriotic/historic American, yet it displays the Fascist fasces or Lictor Rods on some of its flags and literature. PF maintains that this symbol is fully expressed and displayed throughout America, even in government symbolism, Federal and State. This is a fact. Look closely at the Lincoln Memorial, for instance (an example that PF does not show).
The columns upon which the President’s arms are resting are fasces: the bundle of sticks held together with a spiraling band, the classic Fascist symbol of unity from separate elements, an icon carried by the Lictors of ancient Rome to confer authority on the magistrates they accompanied.
I have never seen nor heard PF directly address the Jewish Issue, nor espouse overtly Fascist or NS views, and this appears to be a deliberate policy approach. I respect it, as I respect the direct approach of many other groups as well. Still, Patriot Front is demonized and characterized as “Nazis” by the Jewish Freemasons at the ADL and SPLC.
I listened to this interview by Keith Woods, Irish nationalist, with Thomas Rousseau, founder and leader of Patriot Front. I am only half-way through, but so far Woods does not ask and Rousseau does not answer about Patriot Front as a Fascist organization (though PF’s enemies, such as Antifa, have already answered).
This interview was from 2020:
INTERVIEW WITH THOMAS ROUSSEAU - LEADER OF PATRIOT FRONT
Some speculate that Patriot Front is literally a front, cooperating with the FBI (and even Antifa) to profile and identify hated “Fascists” in America. While always a possibility we must consider, I remain unconvinced and ever vigilant. Listen to Rousseau and develop a tentative position.
Keith Woods was a write-in show. Someone asked Rousseau about the JQ (Jewish Question), and he used mild euphemisms and replied most generally. I suspect PF has a deliberate policy not to address the JI (Jewish Issue), while knowing it full well
The ADL however has a deliberate policy of identifying PF as "antisemitic." See the essay "ADL Audit Claims Rising Antisemitism." Patriot Front is prominent.

My impression of Keith Woods from a couple of years ago was not good. I found him a droning speaker who avoided the JQ so I unsubscribed. Well at least his guest Rousseau is lively.
