editor
The Occidental Observer is a publication organ of the Charles Martel Society , which also operates the quarterly online magazine The Occidental Quarterly and the book publisher Occidental Press . The Charles Martel Society , which was founded in 2001 by the conservative publisher William H. Regnery , carries in its name the so-called liberator of the West, Karl Martel , who stopped the Muslim Arabs and Berbers from advancing further into Europe in 732 should.
The editor of the Occidental Observer is psychology professor Kevin B. MacDonald , who advocates the thesis that a "group evolutionary strategy" enables Jews to outperform non-Jews as competitors for resources.
Political goals and strategy
The website states that this website advocates white identity , white interests and the culture of the west. According to a declaration of principle, the editor Kevin MacDonald is of the opinion that other identitary groups are very well aware of their interests and identity, which is hardly the case with the European-American groups that founded these societies. Since this should change, the website Occidental Observer represents an instrument for changing this situation. This site should be more than a newspaper and intervene with comments, literature reviews, short comments on new stories and current events in the above sense. He also wanted to give negative connotations such as racist and white supremacy a positive image.

- The January 4, 2009 article by anonymous author James Murrey alleges that Bernard L. Madoff's financial plan was a conspiracy by Jews to steal from non-Jews.
- An article dated September 24, 2008 claims that the hostility of whites and Christianization is a common conception of the Jews.
- In an article dated September 12, 2008, Edmund Connelly claims that the Jews want to exterminate white Americans.
