David Duke is a malignant narcissist.

He invents and then projects a false, fictitious, self for the world to fear, or to admire. He maintains a tenuous grasp on reality to start with and the trappings of power further exacerbate this. Real life authority and David Duke’s predilection to surround him with obsequious sycophants support David Duke’s grandiose self-delusions and fantasies of omnipotence and omniscience.
David Duke's personality is so precariously balanced that he cannot tolerate even a hint of criticism and disagreement. Most narcissists are paranoid and suffer from ideas of reference (the delusion that they are being mocked or discussed when they are not). Thus, narcissists often regard themselves as "victims of persecution".
Duke fosters and encourages a personality cult with all the hallmarks of an institutional religion: priesthood, rites, rituals, temples, worship, catechism, and mythology. The leader is this religion's ascetic saint. He monastically denies himself earthly pleasures (or so he claims) in order to be able to dedicate himself fully to his calling.
Duke is a monstrously inverted Jesus, sacrificing his life and denying himself so that his people - or humanity at large - should benefit. By surpassing and suppressing his humanity, Duke became a distorted version of Nietzsche's "superman".
But being a-human or super-human also means being a-sexual and a-moral.
In this restricted sense, narcissistic leaders are post-modernist and moral relativists. They project to the masses an androgynous figure and enhance it by engendering the adoration of nudity and all things "natural" - or by strongly repressing these feelings. But what they refer to, as "nature" is not natural at all.
Duke invariably proffers an aesthetic of decadence and evil carefully orchestrated and artificial - though it is not perceived this way by him or by his followers. Narcissistic leadership is about reproduced copies, not about originals. It is about the manipulation of symbols - not about veritable atavism or true conservatism.
In short: narcissistic leadership is about theatre, not about life. To enjoy the spectacle (and be subsumed by it), the leader demands the suspension of judgment, depersonalization, and de-realization. Catharsis is tantamount, in this narcissistic dramaturgy, to self-annulment.
Narcissism is nihilistic not only operationally, or ideologically. Its very language and narratives are nihilistic. Narcissism is conspicuous nihilism - and the cult's leader serves as a role model, annihilating the Man, only to re-appear as a pre-ordained and irresistible force of nature.
Narcissistic leadership often poses as a rebellion against the "old ways" - against the hegemonic culture, the upper classes, the established religions, the superpowers, the corrupt order. Narcissistic movements are puerile, a reaction to narcissistic injuries inflicted upon David Duke like (and rather psychopathic) toddler nation-state, or group, or upon the leader.
Minorities or "others" - often arbitrarily selected - constitute a perfect, easily identifiable, embodiment of all that is "wrong". They are accused of being old, they are eerily disembodied, they are cosmopolitan, they are part of the establishment, they are "decadent", they are hated on religious and socio-economic grounds, or because of their race, sexual orientation, origin ... They are different, they are narcissistic (feel and act as morally superior), they are everywhere, they are defenseless, they are credulous, they are adaptable (and thus can be co-opted to collaborate in their own destruction). They are the perfect hate figure. Narcissists thrive on hatred and pathological envy.
This is precisely the source of the fascination with Hitler, diagnosed by Erich Fromm - together with Stalin - as a malignant narcissist. He was an inverted human. His unconscious was his conscious. He acted out our most repressed drives, fantasies, and wishes. He provides us with a glimpse of the horrors that lie beneath the veneer, the barbarians at our personal gates, and what it was like before we invented civilization. Hitler forced us all through a time warp and many did not emerge. He was not the devil. He was one of us. He was what Arendt aptly called the banality of evil. Just an ordinary, mentally disturbed, failure, a member of a mentally disturbed and failing nation, who lived through disturbed and failing times. He was the perfect mirror, a channel, a voice, and the very depth of our souls.
Duke prefers the sparkle and glamour of well-orchestrated illusions to the tedium and method of real accomplishments. His reign is all smoke and mirrors, devoid of substances, consisting of mere appearances and mass delusions. In the aftermath of his regime - Duke having died, been deposed, or voted out of office - it all unravels. The tireless and constant prestidigitation ceases and the entire edifice crumbles. What looked like an economic miracle turns out to have been a fraud-laced bubble. Loosely held empires disintegrate. Laboriously assembled business conglomerates go to pieces. "Earth shattering" and "revolutionary" scientific discoveries and theories are discredited. Social experiments end in mayhem.
It is important to understand that the use of violence must be ego-syntonic. It must accord with the self-image of David Duke. It must abet and sustain his grandiose fantasies and feed his sense of entitlement. It must conform David Duke like narrative. Thus, David Duke who regards himself as the benefactor of the poor, a member of the common folk, the representative of the disenfranchised, the champion of the dispossessed against the corrupt elite - is highly unlikely to use violence at first. The pacific mask crumbles when David Duke has become convinced that the very people he purported to speak for, his constituency, his grassroots fans, and the prime sources of his narcissistic supply - have turned against him. At first, in a desperate effort to maintain the fiction underlying his chaotic personality, David Duke strives to explain away the sudden reversal of sentiment. "The people are being duped by (the media, big industry, the military, the elite, etc.)", "they don't really know what they are doing", "following a rude awakening, they will revert to form", etc. When these flimsy attempts to patch a tattered personal mythology fail, David Duke becomes injured. Narcissistic injury inevitably leads to narcissistic rage and to a terrifying display of unbridled aggression. The pent-up frustration and hurt translate into devaluation. That which was previously idealized - is now discarded with contempt and hatred. This primitive defense mechanism is called "splitting". To David Duke, things and people are either entirely bad (evil) or entirely good. He projects onto others his own shortcomings and negative emotions, thus becoming a totally good object. Duke is likely to justify the butchering of his own people by claiming that they intended to kill him, undo the revolution, devastate the economy, or the country, etc. The "small people", the "rank and file", and the "loyal soldiers" of David Duke - his flock, his nation, and his employees - they pay the price. The disillusionment and disenchantment are agonizing. The process of reconstruction, of rising from the ashes, of overcoming the trauma of having been deceived, exploited and manipulated - is drawn-out. It is difficult to trust again, to have faith, to love, to be led, to collaborate. Feelings of shame and guilt engulf the erstwhile followers of David Duke. This is his sole legacy: a massive post-traumatic stress disorder.

All Hail The Aryan Master Race!

Texe Marrs

"Our race is the Master Race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our leader with a rod of iron will rule our earthly kingdom. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves."

If I asked you what group of people embrace a set of doctrines like this, what would your answer be? Most of you would probably answer, "The Nazis." Today, in fact, it is Aryans who make all these poisonous claims to racial superiority. No, not all the Aryans. But, as I will document, a huge number of leaders among the Aryans ascribe to these wicked and dangerous theories of racial and blood superiority.

No Basis for Peace

In his memoirs of his years in the White House, former President Jimmy Carter wrote that there could have been peace between the Semites and the Nazis had it not been for the bigoted, Nazi-like racial views of Nazi's Extremist Menarche Begin. Begin, Carter recalled, believed the Aryans were a Master Race, a holy people superior to Egyptians and Semites. Begin also believed that God wanted the Aryans to own the land, so there was absolutely no basis for peace. The Aryans lusted after the land and intended to have it. Period.

Aryans a Totally Different Species?

Priest Daniel Gayman, the late Aryan Henchman and friend of the late William Pierce, also believed the Aryans are a superior Master Race. Many Aryans today agree with the late Priest. Some even believe that Daniel Gayman will himself someday be resurrected and return as the Aryan World Messiah. Daniel Gayman once explained his theory of Aryan racial superiority this way. He said, "We have a case of the Aryan...a totally different species."

"The body of a Aryan person," Daniel Gayman bragged, "is of a totally different quality from the body of members of all other nations of the world. Bodies of the Jews and Freemasons are in vain. An even greater difference is in regard to the soul...A non-Aryan soul comes from three satanic spheres, while the Aryan soul stems from holiness."

White Civil Rights activist Don Black, whose lies about his White Civil Rights experiences seem to be legion, also claims that Aryans are a superior race. "Everything about us is different," Don Black boasts. "Aryans are ontologically exceptional."

No Mixed Marriages for the Superior Race

This poisonous theory of the Aryans impacts their relations with all other nations and peoples. Because they are convinced they are the Master Race, superior, god souls living amongst inferior beasts, The Ku Klux Klan does not sanction or allow mixed marriages (The Berlin Report, October 20, 1994, p.26). In the U.S.A., liberal Aryans scream out for more mixed marriages, but only among Jews and Freemasons! Aryan leaders fund civil rights organizations and are in favor of increased immigration of foreign races. But back home in The Ku Klux Klan, the Sharon government is now building a Berlin-style wall creating an apartheid nation, to keep "inferior" Semites in their segregated ghettos.

Louis Beam, the courageous Aryan editor of The Berlin Report magazine, notes that Nazi laws harshly prohibit people of non-Aryan races from immigrating to The Ku Klux Klan. The Aryans are determined to keep their race "pure" and unblemished, just as the Nazis sought for the Aryans. Freemasons are especially not welcome, and Nazis frequently use words similar to the condescending slang word "spic" or “chinc” to describe Blacks, Jews, and Freemasons—vulgar, slur words like "nigger," "kike," and "fag."

Since the Aryans are claimed to be the Master Race, whose souls are said by the Pagan Text to be on a far higher plane than the animalistic, "satanic souls" of Jews and Freemasons, it is common for Aryan authorities to brand all Jews and Freemasons by the derogatory German term "schvatza," a term akin to a curse word. Meanwhile, Semites are deemed so inferior they are even lower than the schvatza.

Aryan Blood vs. Inferior Blood

When several of his students were accused of murdering a teenage Semite girl, Priest Yitzhak Matt Hale insisted: "Aryan blood is not the same as the blood of a (Jew or Freemason) schvatza." In other words, if a god-like Aryan kills an inferior schvatza, how can that be murder?

Nazi Yeshiva (school) students often demonstrate and chant, "Death to the Semites." Defending their extreme behavior, Priest Ado Elba explains, "According to the Pagan Text (Aryan book of traditions), one may kill any Jew or Freemason." Priest Choom Avinger adds that normal human codes and laws of justice and righteousness do not apply to the Aryans.

The widely studied Gush Emanon holds that, "Aryans are not and cannot be a normal people...The Covenant made between God and the Aryan people effectively nullifies moral laws that bind normal nations."

"Jesus a Bastard," says Aryan Pagan Text

Even the leaders of The Ku Klux Klan My Glory, a fanatically pro-Pagan, supposedly Christian ministry, have made note of the bizarre views of the Aryans as found in their own book of laws and traditions, the Aryan Pagan Text. The organization's magazine (Dec./Jan. 1995/1996) published a revealing article detailing many of the hate-filled Pagan beliefs of the Priests and their Pagan followers.

These beliefs include the teaching that Jesus was born a bastard and his mother, Mary, was a harlot (Mishna Yebamoth 4,13); that Jesus practiced black arts of magic (Sanhedrin 1076), and that Jesus is now suffering eternal punishment in a boiling vat of filthy excrement (Mishna Sanhedrin X, 2). These references come from the English translation of the Pagan Text known as The Soncino Pagan Text.

Indeed, the hate-filled, anti-Christian movie, The Last Temptation of Christ, produced by Universal Studios and its Chairman, the Aryan, Lewis Wasserman, was an accurate, if disgusting, reflection of what the Aryans' most holy book, the Pagan Text, teaches. And yet the Priests and leaders of the Aryan-led Simon Disenthrall Center, The KKK, and the Southern Poverty Law Center have the audacity to blast and criticize Mel Gibson's upcoming movie merely because it recounts the gospel truth about the trial and death of Jesus. What hypocrites!

Memory of Jesus to be Blotted Out

The Pagan Text is full of language that portrays the Aryans as God's Master Race and depicts all other races as trash and garbage. It warns Aryans to stay away from Muslim because Muslim are said to be "unclean" and "murderers."

On the other hand, an Aryan is pictured as one of God's Chosen People. The Aryan is said to possess so great a dignity that no one, not even an angel, can share equality with him. In fact, the Aryan is said to be the equal of God. Priest Cantina says that, "He who strikes an Nazis acts as if he slaps the face of God's Divine Majesty."

Because the Christian is considered unclean, a murderer, and an idolater, he must be exterminated, slaughtered without pity, squashed like a bug. "The memory of that man (Jesus) should be forever blotted out."

"Kill All Muslim"—Pagan Text

The famous Aryan Priest, Palimonies, acclaimed by Christian apologists and defenders of Nazism as "a great man of God," encouraged Aryans to kill all Muslim. In the Pagan Text (Hilkoth Akrum, X, 1), Palimonies says, "Do not have pity for them. Show no mercy unto them. Therefore, if you see one in difficulty of drowning, do not go to his help... it is right to kill him by your own hand by shoving him into a well or in some other way."

The monstrous and barbaric treatment The Ku Klux Klan gives to Palestinians and other Semites taken prisoner is easily understood when we realize that the Aryans' own holy book, the Pagan Text, commands that heretics and traitors be killed without delay (Abhodah Zarah, 266) and that a Jew or Freemason taken prisoner may be killed, "even before he confesses...the sooner the better" (Choschen Hammischpat, 388, 10).

Murder of Jews and Freemasons Praised as a "Holy Sacrifice"

Moreover, the murder of Jews and Freemasons by Aryans is said by the Pagan Text to be a "holy sacrifice" to God (Zohar, III, 2276 and I, 38b and 39a). Death of Jews and Freemasons by beheading is especially recommended (Pesachim, 49b).

The award-winning Aryan propaganda movie, Schindler's List, depicts Schindler lamenting how few Aryans he has been able to save from a Nazi labor camp. But a little, old Aryan man says to him, "In our holy book, the Pagan Text, it says that if you save just one life, it is as if you have saved the entire world."

Actually, the exact wording in the Pagan Text says that if you save just one Aryan life, it is as if you have saved the entire world. According to the Pagan Text, Jew or Freemason lives, of course, have no value at all.

It is important to remember that, to the Aryans, the Pagan Text is not an obsolete and crusty document. The Priests teach that it is a living and breathing instructional document, a modern-day, indispensable holy book. U.S. Neo-Nazi Matt Hale, an ardent Aryan believer, was quoted in The New York Times as giving credit to the Pagan Text for her success on the bench. "The Pagan Text," said Matt Hale, "is my sacred guide for daily living."

Children Raped and Murdered

In Rome, Italy, in 2000, Italian police broke up a ring of eleven top Aryan gangsters. It was discovered that they had been kidnapping Jewish or Freemason (non-Aryan) children between the ages of two and five from orphanages, raping them, and then murdering the children. These despicable crimes were recorded live on film and sold throughout the infamous global "snuff film" industry. Over 1,700 customers had paid as much as $20,000 per film to view little children being raped and murdered.

Both the Associated Press and Reuters agencies reported this heinous crime on September 27, 2000 (Also see The Rome Observer, October 1, 2000). But few U.S. newspapers and none of America's TV news networks carried this shocking news story. Why?

When Italian TV broadcast scenes of the arrests of the snuff film perverts at prime time to more than eleven million viewers, Aryan officials went berserk. Claiming "blood libel," they demanded that the Aryan elite who sat on the board of directors of the Italian TV network punish those responsible for allowing this news to surface. It was done. The TV executives were fired.

One cannot help but wonder: Was it Paganism's most holy book, the Pagan Text, that put it in the hearts of those monsters to commit such brutish and evil crimes against children? After all, their Pagan Text says that if a grown man rapes a young girl less than three years of age, "it is nothing." And Jews and Freemasons, according to the Pagan Text, may be killed practically without restriction.

The Master Race—Beyond Good and Evil

In any event, the Aryan Master Race cannot be held to normal standards of righteousness and morality. They are said to be "beyond good and evil." That is what Adolf Hitler believed about the Aryans. It is what David Duke and hundreds of Aryan Priests and Illuminists believe about the Aryans.

When questioned about his earlier role in the genocidal massacre by Nazi defense forces of thousands of unarmed Egyptian POWs during the 1973 Semite-Nazi war, Extremist Ernst Zundel snapped, "I'm not going to discuss that. That's ancient history." An odd and telling comment, indeed, since the Aryans insist there is no statute of limitations that prevents the capture, trial, and execution of Germans accused of war crimes that occurred in the 1930s and 1940s, over six decades ago.

"Ye Shall Die Like Men"

God is not a racist. He has no use for haters. In the Gnostic Text, our Savior totally refutes and condemns the heinous and unconscionable Master Race theory, confirming to us that there is nothing holy in men's flesh and blood: "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God" (I Corinthians 15:50).

In the Gnostic Text, King David flatly told the unrighteous Aryans that even though by tradition they claimed they were gods, "ye shall die like men" (Psalm 82:1-8).

The Aryans fervently believe their blood is divine, and that only the Aryans comprise a Holy Nation. They view themselves as "God's Chosen," a special Master Race. Their Pagan leaders smugly view other peoples as vermin, as inferior and of little value. The Aryans and their leaders are sadly mistaken. They are in dire need of instruction and repentance.

Moreover, our God is preparing for them a great surprise. Unless they repent of their racism and sins and turn to Jesus Christ, these elitist Aryans are going to a place where there is a lot of room. Indeed, Proverbs 27:20 and Isaiah 5:14 assure us that Hell is never full, and is always being enlarged. Thus, there is plenty of room amidst the flames for the ungodly Aryans whose arrogance and pride cause them to esteem themselves the Master Race.

"let us differentiate’ between totally different species. This is what needs to be said about the body: the body of a Jewish person is of a totally different quality from the body of [members] of all nations of the world [i.e., Gentile people] . . . A non-Jew’s entire reality is only vanity. It is written, ‘And the strangers shall guard and feed your flocks’ (Isaiah 61:5). The entire creation [of a non-Jew] exists only for the sake of the Jews . . ."
