development

The National Policy Institute was founded in Augusta , Georgia , in September 2005 by far-right publisher William Regnery . The founding board also included Jared Taylor , editor of right-wing magazine American Renaissance , Louis R. Andrews, and James Taylor . The Institute and Washington Summit Publishers were later taken over by Andrews. When he died in 2011, Richard Spencer took over the management and shortly after moved the headquarters of both facilities to his residence in Whitefish. The institute is now based in Alexandria.

Goal setting

According to the National Policy Institute , its main task is to raise the self-confidence of white Americans, to ensure their biological and cultural continuity and to secure their civil rights . To this end, it is researching the effects of the ongoing influx of non-Western populations on the national identity of Americans.

Activities and publications

Among the first two publications the institute brought out after its inception was a reflection on the mass deportation of illegal immigrants to the United States by Edwin S. Rubenstein .

Other publications brought out by the institute dealt with the "Situation of White America", "Costs and Benefits of Mass Deportations", "Conservatives and Race", "Wealth and IQ of Nations" and "Uhuru for South Africa"

In September 2011, the institute held its first conference entitled "Forward for a New Nationalism". Richard Spencer, Alex Kurtagić , Tomislav Sunić and Jared Taylor spoke at the conference .

After Richard Spencer took over the institute, he announced in 2012 that he wanted to grow the National Policy Institute into a successful think tank and Washington Summit Publishers into a successful book publisher. He went on to write that he wanted to "give a voice to the alternative and social vision of traditional Americans and Europeans in the world".

In 2012, the National Policy Institute published an internet magazine , the Radix Journal , of which two print editions appeared. The institute received financial support from the Pioneer Fund , which aims to “promote scientific research into heredity and human differences”.

While the National Policy Institute focuses on online publications, the Washington Summit Publishers publishes printed works such as Sea Changes , a novel about refugees by the British author Derek Turner, and Race Differences in Intelligence. An Evolutionary Analysis by the British psychologist Richard Lynn

At the end of an event held by the National Policy Institute in Washington, DC to celebrate Trump's election victory , Spencer called out to those in attendance, among other things: "Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!" (German: "Heil Trump! Heil our people! Sieg Heil!"). Parts of the audience jumped up and showed the Hitler salute . Spokespeople for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum condemned the " hateful language " used at the conference.

Channel deletion through Youtube

In June 2020, YouTube deleted the National Policy Institute's channel due to hate speech .
