Why the alt-Right wants Tulsi vs Trump 2020



The featured image above is shocking as it displays the growing nuance among the alt-Right and their newly explored fascination and even acceptance of Hinduism. Here Tulsi Gabbard, the Hindu Democratic presidential hopeful, is depicted as the once not so famous Savitri Devi. Born Maximiani Portas, a woman of Greek and French descent, Savitri Devi was a highly educated near genius who became an ardent follower of Hitler. After the fall of the Nazi regime Savitri converted to Hinduism which she described as the last Aryan ethic on earth and spent the rest of her life attempting to synthesize a new religion out of the two; she was deeply influential in post WWII esoteric Nazi circles and has come to be known as Hitler's High Priestess. 




Savitri Devi was not one sided in her evangelism. She did proclaim Adolph Hitler as an avatar of Vishnu, come to begin the process of ending the Kali Yuga, but she also displayed strong affections and concern for her newly adopted homeland when she moved to India and married a Brahmin. Perhaps Devi's most famous work, "A Warning to the Hindus", pleads with the Hindus of India to take every measure to prevent the Christianization and Islamization of India, she proudly touted herself as India's native informant. Savitri enticed many after the war to travel to India to discover this home of the Aryans where many became enamored by visions of Hindu shrines which contained pictures of both Hitler and Stalin side by side, a testament to the Hindu's ability to accept political monism, the capacity to see even opposite political figures as players in what Hinduism calls Lila, "the divine play", the unfolding of historical events which are leading us to the Hindu end times where the messiah, the Kalki, will descend upon earth to wipe out the non-Hindus, and even demons have their role to play in this celestial drama. You can access all of Savitri Devi's works at the “Savitri Devi Archive”. 

But Tulsi Gabbard's campaign has not been co-opted by the pagan alt-Right haphazardly as she has been officially endorsed by former KKK leader David Duke and is admired by White Nationalist Richard Spencer. Steve Bannon, Trump's former alt-Right leaning adviser and a self-proclaimed enthusiast of Hindu scriptures, he was the one who set up the infamous meeting between Tulsi Gabbard and Trump immediately after his election; Tulsi was condemned by the Democratic establishment (which she seems to always buck) for making this move, but it was the nature of this meeting which is most important. Gabbard stated that she wanted to take this opportunity to convince Trump to end regime change wars in the Middle East, particularly that of Assad in Syria. Trump has come to display a very confusing and unpredictable stance on the wars in the Middle East and for this he has lost much of his formerly enthusiastic youthful alt-Right fan base as they feel betrayed and mislead by Trump's initial fervent rhetoric of bringing the troops home. 

This brings us to the alt-Right's seemingly inexplicable interest in Tulsi. Tulsi Gabbard's initial claim to fame was the fact that she was the first Hindu to ever be elected to congress, but it is her record which has become more than center focus. Gabbard skyrocketed to international prominence when during the 2016 elections she very publicly quit her position at the DNC, accusing them of rigging the primaries against the obviously more popular and widely supported Bernie Sanders in favor of the establishment queen Hillary Clinton. Like the alt-Right, the newly described "alt-Left" has become extremely anti-establishment, anti-war, and anti-Zionism as they view these as racist and bigoted neo-colonialism and the Democratic party presents itself as the cheerleaders for all of these. 

Even though Sanders is Jewish, there was little venom from the alt-Right for his candidacy as his positions seemed to echo many of their own. Sanders presented himself as a strongly Left leaning typical socialist, but in fact his agenda more represented National Socialism, a Leftist economy protected by nationalist protectionism. He, unlike Hillary, was extremely critical of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and at the beginning of his campaign he seemed to be leery of open borders as a Koch brothers scheme to advance America toward jackboot capitalism with infinitely cheap and expendable labor. As she had gone renegade against the DNC to support Bernie, Tulsi not only became his right hand woman but it was widely believed that she would be his pick for Vice-President. While Gabbard has not laid out her economic policy, it is assumed that it will not differ all that much from what Sanders was proposing. 

No sooner had the ink dried on Trump's first presidential signatures than the alt-Left, completely unprompted, began campaigning for Tulsi 2020 with an almost supernatural fanaticism. Tulsi further energized the alt-Left, but also became more popular with the alt-Right, when in 2017 she once again defied her party to travel to Syria to meet with Assad on a fact finding mission as to ascertain the truth of the situation on the ground; she returned with the commitment and has recently reiterated her strongly held belief that Assad is not the enemy and that the accusations against him of genocide are suspect. This is how she became the darling of David Duke. Now that Tulsi is the shining star of the Democratic primaries and has been proven to be the favorite with independent voters, her anti-war position has gained her the same accusation which was thrown at the once much more anti-war Trump, she's a Russian agent, and this pathetic smear campaign has only made Tulsi more prominent and popular, she is obviously feared by the DNC.

But Gabbard is not only appealing to the alt-Left and the alt-Right, she is also strategically making strides with the military, moderates, the counter-jihad movement, Hindutva and even reasonable Christians. As an Iraq war veteran herself, Gabbard has made much of the focus of her anti-war platform about the troops, she says they are being sacrificed, and this is true; she is also more vocal about their welfare than the welfare of incoming illegal immigrants. Far from being politically correct, Gabbard became subject to accusations of Islamophobia when she criticized President Obama for not using the words "radical Islamic terrorism"; she had described herself as a hawk on terrorism but a dove on war, and this is more than believable. Her commitment to protecting to the US from Islamic terrorism will obviously make her a proponent of protecting the border which has been permeable to Muslim extremist coming in through South America. 

The radical Leftist-Muslim alliance in the US has made Tulsi famous for being conspicuously pro-BJP, pro-Modi, and pro-India, she is painted as a clandestine Hindu fascist; she is already being supported by both American and Indian Hindutva cells. While Gabbard has openly criticized delegations and motions to characterize India as a religiously intolerant state which persecutes Christians, here at home she is exploiting the new Hindu-Christian alignment against Islamism which was forged during the Trump campaign; she recently called out her fellow Democrats for their inquisition into the Catholic beliefs of federal judicial nominees, it helps that her father is a Catholic and that Tulsi has admitted to having privately held beliefs against homosexuality and abortion but which she has stated will never be enacted into public law. While the more politically astute Muslims have chastised Gabbard for her connections to Hindutva, many Muslims cannot help but align with her as they know she will stop bombing their home countries and she has shown support for a two state solution between Israel and Palestine. This not to mention that the Muslims in the alt-Left cannot afford to stick out like a sore thumb among the sea of Tulsi’s adoring former Bernie fans. 

So why does the alt-Right want to make it Tulsi vs Trump 2020? The alt-Right's support for Trump is old news and predictable, but more importantly their love for him has cooled off as he is quickly becoming a stooge for the pro-war Christian Zionist and Jewish Zionist lobbies. During Trumps run is 2016 he was very visibly supported by the American Hindu community who aligned with him as he is anti-Islam and had made it his agenda to end the United State’s support for India’s greatest enemy, Pakistan. Another reason that the "Hindus For Trump" movement was established was for attention, it was known that this would be seen as counter-intuitive to the American people which would force them to question and research the alliance further which would inevitably lead them to information on Hinduism, Hindutva and perhaps their own philosophical and political connection to both, and this worked, the conservative Right and the alt-Right have both been tipped off to Hindutva as a friend. While “Hindus For Tulsi” would be a lot less perplexing and interesting, the alt-Right for Gabbard would put the now directionless movement back on track and have the inverse effect of “Hindus For Trump”, meaning it would draw Hindu attention to the alt-Right which wants this ally to springboard their own Aryan agenda (for those who are racialist pagans). 

But there is an even larger harvest to be reaped from the alt-Right's supposed enemies, the alt-Left. It is the alt-Left who are now the biggest cheerleaders for Tulsi, but the mainstream media is highlighting her connections to the alt-Right, Hindutva, her anti-war efforts and her mixed record on Israel as she highlights Palestinian grievances and she is certainly not liked by the Zionist machine. Further support for Gabbard from the alt-Right will only bring this muck racking reporting to feverish pitches, and the alt-Left will have to come to her defense. As the alt-Left works to supersede the alt-Right as the visible power behind Tulsi, they will eventually notice that many, or can we say almost all of their own ideas and desires are held by the alt-Right as well, there will come an inevitable amalgamation of these opposing groups, the same of which was the recipe for the rise of Adolph Hitler. But Gabbard will be no Hitler, her mixed Polynesian/White ancestry (her mother was a White Hindu) will be convincing to the Left that she will be racially reasonable, and if they are logical and rational enough the alt-Right will be able to break themselves of their un-strategic racism, she will serve as a force to separate the alt-Right from their toxic political alliances with the Abrahamic elements of their own race. But not only this, now being seen as pseudo-friends of the Hindus, the alt-Right can attract Whites from the alt-Left, many of whom secretly wish to be part of the alt-Right but who cannot swallow the pill of hard racism; Hinduism is racially nuanced enough to give these would be defectors the courage to jump ship while also satiating the racialist needs of the alt-Right. 

Hinduism was not only the obsession of Hitler's High Priestess Savitri Devi but also other famous Nazis such as Himmler. These beacons along with the inroads made by the “Hindus For Trump” movement have driven the alt-Right toward Hinduism and Hindutva which they view as highly related to their own Aryan ideals. The alt-Right, outside of this new allegiance has had nothing new to offer since Trump's election, and they themselves are searching for a new relevance, a new strategy for swelling their numbers, and even a new spirituality. By supporting Tulsi under the banner of affinity toward Hinduism and opposition to the Judeo-Christian war for Armageddon, the alt-Right will not only further raise their profile but also exhibit a new refinement which they so desperately need. The alt-Left, the military, the moderates and even some anti-war Christians will certainly notice that thy are in the same camp as the alt-Right and this will do nothing but further sermonize the third position as well as at least make known and popular its Aryan roots which are becoming more sophisticated under the tutelage of Hinduism. However, and finally, more importantly, if it is Tulsi vs Trump in 2020, the alt-Right will not only have a win on both sides but they will be able to use their support for Tulsi as leverage against Trump, if he wants to win again he will have to further capitulate to their position, this or lose the election and serve as a warning to all.

  1. My guess is that Bannon admired her because he conformed to his anti-Islamist bigotry and his belief in restoring the (white) working class through social and industrial programs.
