I have been researching Crowley and his stance on race and jews. He states that he wanted to restore the 'equilibrium of the races' with Whites as the leadership; to restore a 'solar phallic cult' and the 'sumerian tradition'. And yet on this forum people have said he is cucked by the jews or affiliated somehow with them. This doesn't seem likely given the evidence I've heard. Please clarify this if possible. Below is a smear against crowley by some arab/negro former thelemite who claims Crowley was a White supremacist.:
Crowley on Fascism:
The “common-sense” program of Fascism:
For sometime I had interested myself in Fascismo which I regarded with entire sympathy even excluding its illegitimacy on the ground that constitutional authority had become to all intents and purposes a dead letter. I was delighted with the common sense of its programme and was especially pleased by its attitude towards the Church. . . . I was also convinced of the importance of the movement and of its almost immediate success. I did my utmost to persuade Austin Harrison of the soundness of my judgment. (Confessions, chapter 95)
Mussolini’s “delightful” Fascists:
The Fascisti patrolling the railway were delightful. They had all the picturesqueness of opera brigands. They were armed with a most miscellaneous assortment of weapons. (Confessions, chapter 95)
The Fascists’ behavior was “admirable”:
I was consequently amazed to hear of the coup d’état. Rome was wild with enthusiasm. The Fascisti swarmed all over the city. I thought their behaviour admirable. They policed the towns and suppressed any attempted breach of the peace with the utmost efficiency; but for all that my first doubts disturbed my pleasure in the victory. I thought Mussolini was acting rashly in overthrowing the constitutions. Not only was a reaction certain to follow, as always when success is not the final flowering of regular growth, but I foresaw that Mussolini would be obliged to play politics just as fatally as his predecessors in order to survive the first few crises of his government. My apprehension has proved only too true. Almost at once, he had to sell his soul to the Vatican in whom a real statesman would have recognized his most dangerous foe. (Confessions, chapter 95)
The only thing that changed Crowley’s mind about Italian Fascism was Mussolini’s alliance with the Church:
During the winter I heard nothing from the outer world, but when I went to Naples in April I found that my worst anticipations had been exceeded. The price of power had proved exorbitant. Mussolini was bankrupt. He had been compelled to purchase papal support . . . I began immediately to write epigrams against Mussolini . . . (Confessions, chapter 95)
Crowley on the American Civil War
It was about secession, not slavery:
What was the Civil War but a murderous struggle against secession? (Confessions, chapter 75)
‘The Black Messiah’
Note: We DO NOT accept HB’s recent line that this was not written by Crowley. It is a cynical revision designed to shut down any criticism of Crowley being a white supremacist. There is no proof of what HB has said in defense. It is, at best his opinion, not backed up by any evidence.
AC on the menace of “inferior races”:
There is one salient fact of to-day to which Europe and America can not shut their eyes. It is the surreptitious agitation of the inferior races, those whom evolution left behind – the negro and negroid types period. This menace grows with every year.
Indian immigration to France as a serious a threat:
When Punjabi Sipahis talk among themselves of France, they . . . boast that when the time is ripe they will go over and take possession of those fertile plains, and live in that delightful climate. I will not make the reader’s blood boil with indignation by hinting at the fouler designs implied. This is only one crude illustration of a gigantic movement which is actually in progress – a far more serious menace than the old terror of the ‘Yellow Peril’.
Europeans as superior:
The campaigning against the supremacy of the higher races is therefore carried on, at the present time, by subtly undermining the spiritual bastions of Europe and America.
The Theosophists felt confident in proclaiming Krishnamurti the world teacher because they thought the white races had lost their courage and nobility:
They would hardly dare to attempt to put over so blatant and obscene a fraud; if they had not good reason for doubting whether there remained at the bottom of the hearts of the white civilised races, their ancient courage and inherited nobility.
The lowest Europeans are seduced by the “inferior races”:
The appeal of the inferior races is, perhaps, a taint of atavism in our blood. Those weary spirits among us who despair of life, who fear to fall from the long ladder of evolution; are always ready to listen to the siren calls of the bestial. From the sentimental Yogi to the jazz band, the soft luxurious mire attracts those degenerate types who have forgotten their manhood and their womanhood.
The white race must defend itself, “and reconquer our foregone prestige and mastery”:
The grotesque the atricalities of the renegade Annie Besant, the Barnum of the buck Messiah Krishnamurti, must serve to sharpen the will of the white race; not only to defend itself; but to sally forth once more as in the spacious days of Good Queen Bess, and reconquer our foregone prestige and mastery.
Which way, white men and women?
White men and women must choose between these alternatives: Will they yield, content to be the black man’s slave, after having been his master? or will they stand to, and reply by an energetic spiritual reaction, which will restore the threatened equilibrium of the races?
AC claims to be the “champion” of the white race:
The white champion has appeared, He who, under the aegis of the Spiritual Masters of the planet, has proclaimed the Law of Thelema, the Law of Love, comprehended and directed by Will: the Law which bids each man pursue the proper orbit of his destiny, and develop himself around his own true centre of Light, will bring back welfare to his own race, and establish Peace with Victory upon the Earth.”
I believe the above quotes show and prove without any doubt that Crowley was a Nationalist with overt racial tendencies. His comments on Italian fascism should make anybody shudder, and it is these quotes which give huge weight to alt-right Thelemite ideology. Any other conclusion requires skilled mental gymnastics and the bubble of a cult mentality to maintain. When Sabazius himself makes a public statement, essentially saying what I have made a case for here, and Thelemites don’t take heed because they don’t like the idea of their beloved Prophet being a racist, that shows and proves they don’t care about truth or social or restorative justice, only the that the edifice is maintained. I understand the will to do so. Most people of my generation were introduced to Crowley through Wilson and Leary. Wilson paints a quaint, cool, exciting, hippy picture of Crowley, even coining the loathsome and enabling nickname “Uncle Al”. This made Crowley absolutely appealing to many, including me. Wilson was not, it turned out, at all qualified to speak on Crowley in any serious or academic way, and in this sense Wilson too failed us by painting an oversimplified psychedelic version of Crowley. We are all older now. We all should know better. As a POC who in my past as a Thelemite defended Crowley against accusations of racism, I saw my old slave-self in the essay. It is not easy to see from the inside, but I am not alone in seeing clearly now and seeing apologists for what they are: lost and doing time in a cult of personality. Perhaps it is time to finally let go of one of the most old aeonic relics from Thelema: Crowley himself."
