Siege is a book collecting the articles of American neo-Nazi James Mason, former leader of the National Socialist Liberation Front and Universal Order. It collects the text of Mason's SIEGE newsletter (1980-1986) and other propaganda, arranging it according to topic. It places an emphasis on gaining power through armed struggle rather than political means.
Preface: The Book is a quite simply, a collection of Stormtrooper articles, which detail various concepts and themes about National Socialism and its ability to adapt in our current political environment, keyword being ADAPT. Many critics of SIEGE seem to attack it on the pretense that SIEGE is to be followed as a bible while it is to be used as a guideline and better frame through which to view things for the 21st Century Fascist; it's a clean and modern take on our worldview that is in many ways not only more useful, but also more relevant than the texts regarding Fascist 20th century movements in Europe.
Notable Quotes: "There has always been the talk of a New Order and a New World. Those are easy slogans, too easy in fact because their meaning is mostly lost. Their meaning directly implies a TOTAL CHANGE. Given the graduality of the decline of American society and culture over the past thirty or forty years, it's hard for any comparatively young per - son to appreciate how far we've sunk and to know from that just what we've lost, and what must be recaptured and through National Socialist discipline and idealism enhanced and reinforced, super-charged to become something greater than has ever been seen on earth. Even Hitler did not face a task such as we face. Being aware of this then, the notion of even attempting or remotely desiring to become a part of the unspeakably vile and sick Establishment and System is utterly revolting to any true National Socialist. To sit amongst the sold-out and degenerate Senate and Congress in the Capitol?! Even Hitler refused to seat his new government in the same halls as the Weimar regime or the Imperial government (liberally laced as it was with Jews). He wanted a new beginning. Our enemies are VILE and only appear "legitimate" because of the power that comes with money. We state here and now that we shall SMASH THEM and, furthermore, that they are HELPLESS TO PREVENT IT! The road may be long and rocky but the moment will arrive and both our will and our striking blows shall be irresistible." (PAGES 52,53)
"It's a crying shame and disgrace that every incident that's happened so far with only one or two exceptions, which even comes close to being revolutionary, has either happened as an accident or as the result of Red agitation. The riots recently in the South are excellent examples. We may thank our lucky stars that the Jews have whipped the Blacks into such a volatile state that they'll go off at the drop of a hat. Some news accounts did mention roving pickup trucks of Whites shooting Blacks at random in places where order had broken down. But the object is not to kill Blacks... it is to FAN THE FLAMES! If we can't get the Whites off their asses to retake control of their destiny then we can at least put them in a position where they will have to fight for their miserable lives!" (PAGES 59, 60)
"The Enemy is the Enemy and aliens are aliens. All politicians - high and low are PIGS in a Pig System. If they weren't, they wouldn't be there. From President to dog catcher, they are all the same bureaucratic, sell-out swine. No distinctions are to be drawn. Meaningless considerations of "parties," of "Left" and "Right," even individual identities, names, etc, are simply not to be used. To kill an "ism" you have to kill the "ists." Their words and actions are absolutely predictable and no one should ever express any sense of shock or outrage at them. We must view them as a mountain range, or a fetid swamp, or a series of storm clouds: just there. A factor to be noted and taken into account, upon which to base future strategy. In the present we have to work around them, in spite of them, never extending to them the invitation to send in their pigs to break up these, our most early and rudimentary efforts. In the future, we have to break up their power base and unseat them from the positions of authority which they usurped from real American leaders who haven't existed now in several generations. In the end, we have to simply kill them, as expeditiously and unceremoniously as possible." (PAGE 178)
"Let there be no more talk about injustice. Let there only be talk of WAR! In the case of Gordon Kahl [Militant White tax protester who engaged in a shootout with Federal Marshals in which two of the pigs were killed and three wounded. Kahl was later killed in a second shootout.], this man took a toll against the Enemy. The only shame is that the toll couldn't have been much, much higher. With a relatively high degree of certainty, those of us who make up the high-profile segment of the Movement today may expect to one day face our own similar such test. It is criminal and cowardly to hope to avoid it. It is best to be ready to perform admirably when the time comes. No lambs to the slaughter" (PAGE 346)
"Even as Commander Rockwell was saying twenty years ago, classic notions of "Left" and "Right" were becoming then, and certainly are by now, obsolete and meaningless. To place this into perspective, by referring to "Left" and "Right," one only expands the context of - while remaining on the same plane as - those extremely foolish ones who still think in terms of party politics. Democrat vs. Republican, Liberal vs. Conservative. The point being that these terms are all equally SYSTEM TERMS, because in reality, at the core of their set programs, they each support the System and are a part of it. What has been missing up till now has been a clean dividing line, an actual breaking point where all pretenses of working within the System, by its rules, were dropped once and for all. In short, a complete break with time past" (PAGES 445, 446)
