The Empire Never Ended

TENE takes a look at Ben Klassen, a boring businessman who became the founder of the Church of the Creator and its poorly-named 'Creativity Movement'. Boris explains the racist core of this parody of a church and pushes through some of the worst writing in the history of The Empire Never Ended.

Boris finds some Bob Matthews Fash Fic on the Stormfront message board, which somehow still exists. After realizing it's all written in the second-person, Fritz decides it was meant to be an RPG. Fritz has Rey and Boris guide Bob and his Zombie companion in their holy war against... FEMA, maybe? Stand up like paladins! Subscribe to patreon.org/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod.

Delve into the absurd world of extremist groups and their misguided motivations. Crime sprees blend with dark humor, as a botched heist reveals paranoia and betrayal within a notorious faction.

The chaos escalates amid internal rivalries, leading to dramatic downfalls and legal pressures. Plus, enjoy a comedic take on urban survival as adventurers clash with their fictional fantasies. It's a wild ride through extremism and imagination!

TENE watches two pretty weird films about or inspired by the Order, Bob Matthews' white nationalist group of the early '80s: Brotherhood of Murder (1998) and Costa-Gavras' lesser-known film, Betrayed (1988). Each film royally fucks up in its own special way, creating some very strange representations of the 'Silent Brotherhood'. Subscribe at patreon.com/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod!

Dive into the bizarre world of The Order, the infamous white nationalist group of the '80s. Explore Robert Matthews’ early life and his Silent Brotherhood’s absurd ideologies. Discover how far-right extremism evolved through personal journeys and family tensions, alongside a comedic take on their misguided criminal escapades. Reflect on the strange allure of the Turner Diaries and the chilling shift from petty crimes to heinous acts within this extremist enclave. It's a wild mix of history, humor, and human folly.

TENE dusts off the Fash-Files and looks into two mysterious close encounters of the third kind. Fritz offers a fresh look at the famous stories of the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter of 1955 and the Lovette-Cunningham Incident at White Sands, New Mexico in '56. He examines the social and political environment in which these stories were popularized and argues that understanding Christian Identity suggests hypotheses usually overlooked in most tellings.

TENE watches the "White Supremacy" episode of the NatGeo docu-series, Trafficked, and discovers that it's basically a Neo-Nazi promotional film. When the documentary is not presenting Neo-Nazis in their own idealized self-image, it's promoting private intelligence agencies and hinting at Russian meddling. This is how NOT to cover neo-Nazis.

TENE concludes Francis Parker Yockey's weird life and work with Fritz's final book report on Imperium. Featuring Francis' hot bad takes on American, Russian, and Japanese culture and history, his insane fantasies about America's activity in post-war Germany, and some unsurprisingly wrong predictions about our geopolitical present.

TENE finishes the ridiculous life of Francis Parker Yockey with his equally ridiculous demise in San Francisco County Jail. Rey continues his look at Yockey's vast connections in the Nazi network of post-war Europe and America. More interesting, however, is Yockey's developing adoration of Stalin and the Soviet Union, which made him some very strange bedfellows. Subscribe at patreon.com/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod  

Fritz introduces Francis Parker Yockey's magnum opus, Imperium, to the TENE library, which turns out to be way worse than any of the guys imagined. Get to know Yockey's theory of history and society and stand in awe at his terrible handle on modernism, ancient history, and European culture. Despite being among the most important fascist books of the post-war period, Imperium, as it turns out, is dumb as hell. Subscribe to our Patreon for weekly premium episodes and our Twitter!
