To penetrate the mainstream, we will ultimately need a cadre of dedicated, outspoken activists who openly align themselves with white nationalism. However, most white nationalists are not in a position to be open about their views for various reasons.
Covert white nationalists (or “secret agents”) can still be of great value to the movement, and not only as writers, donors, and community organizers. I will argue that they also have a useful role to play in political discourse.
Being a secret agent need not mean that you stay silent on political matters. You can vocally support policies that further our aims — most importantly, the First Amendment — without making use of explicitly pro-white rhetoric. If you can’t be open about your views, you can at least combat the hostility faced by open white nationalists and support indirectly pro-white policies.
We could use a lot more open white nationalists. But if your options are staying silent and putting up an apolitical façade versus lending indirect support to the movement, the latter is preferable. At the end of the day, we are looking for real-world results, and it does not matter if some of the factors contributing to said results do not arise directly from the white nationalist milieu.
The issue I would focus on the most is censorship. Censorship and deplatforming are among the biggest challenges we face. It would be a huge help if more people spoke out against censoring, ostracizing, and publicly shaming dissidents and openly criticized the culture of groupthink that pervades our institutions.
The beauty of this tactic is that no one can cancel you simply for supporting free speech. Woke Leftists would love to cancel free speech activists, but they don’t because they know it would be bad optics for them.
Secret agents can potentially be more effective critics of censorship than open white nationalists. First, people will be more willing to listen to them, and they are more likely to attract a following. Many people feel ill at ease with woke orthodoxy but are too afraid to voice any objections to it. If a leader in their community presented himself, they might be willing to take a stand also. You only need two or three people to agree with you before you have the makings of a movement.
Second, people suspect white nationalists who defend free speech of having ulterior motives. It is hard for us to look objective since free speech directly benefits us. It helps to have people who aren’t associated with the Alt-Right defend our First Amendment rights.
You can buy It’s Okay to Be White: The Best of Greg Johnson here.
In reality, of course, most of us are unqualified supporters of the First Amendment (see Greg Johnson’s speech on the subject). The half-educated morons who populate academia love to cite Karl Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance and accuse white nationalists who defend free speech of being two-faced hypocrites, but I don’t know of any white nationalists who are ideologically opposed to free speech except Richard Spencer, who does not even appear to be a white nationalist at this point. We actually are principled opponents of censorship, so “posing” as someone who supports free speech for reasons having nothing to do with being a white nationalist is not all that disingenuous.
Secret agents’ perceived ideological agnosticism can also come in handy in discussions about white nationalism. The simple act of taking an openly neutral stance toward white nationalism helps the movement a great deal. People who take us seriously and address our points in a sober, scholarly manner, as opposed to resorting to name-calling and hysterics, help destigmatize white nationalism and lend us credibility in the eyes of the public. And you can’t be fired for being neutral.
You don’t need to be a white nationalist to make a good case for the necessity of free speech, and this applies to other issues as well. There are serious criticisms one could make of immigration from a non-racialist perspective. For instance, immigrants are often motivated by crises afflicting their countries of origin, and opening the borders to them does not do anything to solve the problems that prompted them to flee their countries in the first place. The architects of white displacement care more about importing cheap labor and displacing the white majority than they do about the welfare of immigrants.
Another tactic you could adopt is to promote feminist initiatives in developing countries. As we know, feminism lowers birth rates, and Third-World birth rates are skyrocketing while white birth rates sink lower and lower each year. If these trends continue, white countries will continue to be swamped by immigrants from the Third World. Promoting feminism for Africans has the added effect of giving you a good alibi.
Instead of openly declaring that white people should have more babies, you can counter some of the arguments that are often brought up in favor of not reproducing. Such arguments are always targeted at smart white people, and smart white people are the only ones who are idealistic and zany enough to buy into them. The most common one is that having children is unethical because it increases your so-called carbon footprint. (In this worldview, children are nothing but fuel-guzzlers and carbon-emitters.) This argument only makes sense if you believe that humans are a plague on the planet and should go extinct. If humanity is to have a future, we will need human smarts and ingenuity to solve the problems we have created. We want there to be more intelligent, environmentally conscious people in the next generation. So environmentalists should be having more children, since they are more likely than average to have children with those characteristics — another way of saying that smart white people should have more children.
The strategy outlined here is especially relevant to people in their teens or early 20s, who have opportunities to engage in political conversations on a regular basis and, I would argue, should refrain from revealing their power levels. If you are someone who wants to be more vocal about politics, I would advise focusing on the free speech issue and waiting two or three years before going public with your views. Young people face fewer consequences for breaking social taboos, but they are also more likely to make poor choices. Even if your convictions are wholly sincere, youthful impulsivity will probably interfere with your judgment. I say this as someone who openly espoused “far-Right” views as a teenager. I was sincere, but I got carried away by the thrill of pissing people off.
In retrospect, my teenaged antics were juvenile and stupid. None of my actions furthered the cause of white nationalism. The drama also consumed a lot of my mental energy. If you are a young person, you would be better off spending that energy on honing skills that would make you useful to the movement and building a reputation for yourself in your local community and in the wider world. It is more difficult to learn new skills when you are older, whereas you can always be an open white nationalist later.
Being an open white nationalist is ideal, but there are several ways in which secret agents can further white nationalist aims, both behind the scenes and in the realm of political discourse. Their covert status also enables them to fulfill certain roles that open white nationalists cannot (the reverse also applies). Both are important to the success of the movement.

Thanks for the suggestions. The reason I can only be a covert White Nationalist is that I would immediately lose my professional license and source of (pretty good) income. So, for now, all I can do for the cause is to contribute financially (I’m about to buy Bitcoin to avoid the censorship), and to write comments under a pseudonym in Dissident sites. I also have accounts in Gab and Telegram where I try to repost or post as many articles as possible.
Other than that, I don’t know what else to do at this point, but I’m working on it.
Oh! and since I’m new to the scene, I am also trying to educate myself as much as possible. Even though, as a professional, I work very long hours, I try to read every evening books on the subject.
Make lots of white babies with a strong white woman…. and home school them.
You won’t be an anon for long if you do donate via Bitcoin and have a Gab account. Heavily monitored now.
But money is important if you can’t openly make a bid for the Ethnostate.
I use a pseudonym in Gab and Telegram and a corporate offshore account for the money; sorry, working on it, that’s why not ready.
The surveillance infrastructure is extremely extensive, and requires a new skillset and new habits to circumvent. Most people are not even trying to disguise what they do, and I do not think that this is intelligent.
I can submit an article to this website describing each issue and how to deal with them if that would be of interest.
An article on new skillsets needed on the net/for mail etc would be much appreciated.
What license do you have? Law I’m presuming, as the various bars will withhold licenses over political nonsense.
I’m in Canada. Thinks are tough here.
One example: a Black girl accused me of having pointed a gun at her (not true). Still, my guns were confiscated: police came without a warrant; I was thrown into jail until I got out on bail the day after because it was a weekend. Then I spent $53,000 on legal fees (I hired the best criminal lawyers in Canada) to be proven not guilty.
It’s not law.
Oh, Canada is a different story altogether. Why did the black girl claim you pointed a gun at her? Did you say or do something to offend her? You must be very cautious around black Africans. Here in the US we are experienced with them. Some can be nice, but they can become very violent over trivial things. They are tribal and will conspire together against whites in professional settings. Don’t get your ego involved with them. Think of it as encountering a bear or some unpredictable creature.
“You must be very cautious around black Africans. Here in the US we are experienced with them”. You are 100% right, but as I said, I’m new to White identity, and I didn’t have much experience with them. There are not as many blacks here. Further, I come from a country where there are no blacks at all. This experience was one of the reasons I shifted from libertarian to White nationalism.
The reason is a long story, and still doesn’t justify what she did.
For me, flinging statistics, I am hoping, will wake up people to our overpopulation problems, because they are really the most dangerous problems directly facing US.
There are 8 Billion people on earth, as closely as we can count, because some countries are incapable of counting properly.
There are about 800 million Europeans and North American Europeans, otherwise known as ‘white people’. We’re outnumbered 10 to 1.
There are only approximately 325 – 350 million Americans– we can’t be sure with our borders wide open. Approximately 60% are European immigrants, from ca. 1600 A.D. to present.
Yet the largest problem facing Europe and North America today, is that the approximately 7 billion people living in the Third World would like to move to Europe and North America, and currently, we are politically agreeing with them, and our borders are now wide open.
There is absolutely no way America can feed, shelter or otherwise accommodate 7 billion people moving in with us. Nor can Europe.
And how can we continue saying ‘yes’ to Jose Gonzalez from Central America, but ‘no’ to Ching Chang from SE Asia?
After I point this out, I go on to ‘birth rate disparities’ worldwide. I’ll leave those statistics to you.
This is the angle I am working on. I just post this sort of idea and several other smart-ass statements daily on FB, and realize I’ll have to become conversant with some of the more exoteric sites everyone here talks about, because FB is probably not posting my comments any further than my nose.
Our biggest enemy in this endeavor is 2 billion Christians on earth, who send endless missionaries to ‘help feed the poor, starving children’ — and their mamas. Second big enemy is corporate Judaism which wants cheap labor, so says nothing about overpopulation. Third is China, which is busy buying up land worldwide in third world countries because they have a built-in cheap labor force there. And something that is never discussed by the climate-change shriekers, is that every boy born in the world wants an automobile beginning at age 15 or so.
I think you get the idea. In order to save us, we must somehow rein in them. However, we must do this extremely quietly, or we’ll ruffle the ‘genocide shriekers’ who think Whites are out to incinerate the entire brown black world. It’s a slippery slope we face, but someone’s got to do it.
I see that I did not thank Mr. Pritchard for his post, which was helpful and inspiring. And I must say that being given a title — “Secret Agent” — gave me stimulus to work in a more focused way, with better direction and proper orientation. I now have marching orders!
Great presentation of facts and wide-awake attitude; I would say you, judging by your presentation, you are no dount already doing very effective White advocacy work.
I unironically thank you for your service!
Great advice. More less obvious ways:
1. Immigrate to Europe (via ancestry or otherwise) and vote accordingly
2. Support state secession movements (even leftist ones)
3. Support anti-war movements (war drives immigration)
Interesting and prescient topic, but I’m sorry to point out that to be a spy, one must spy. This service is peformed either by an officer or by an asset (distinction analogous to staff vs freelance), in a disciplined, compartmentalized bureaucratic hierarchy.
To find out if one is suited to the work, best learn about grifting, as they are essentially the same activity. Funding, and a talent for social engineering are requirements. Forsake all sentiment and fair play, and forget about your wish list (protecting free speech, influencing public opinion, etc.) as these are latent effects. The destruction of the enemy is the goal.
The game is asymmetrical. Your enemy’s strengths as well as his weaknesses are your weapons of necessity. Help him destroy himself.
Not all agents gather intelligence actively. Some are sleepers. Others are tasked with sabotage and disinformation, again actively or as sleepers. Some agents work specifically in counter-espionage, targeting the agents of the enemy (i.e., doxing doxers, antifa, and system spies).
Sleepers practice the Shia Muslim technique of taquia, or mind weaponization, to hold sway over the more numerous Sunni. They hide their views and loyalty sometimes for decades while they gain status in the Sunni power structure, but at key moments in history, they come out strongly using their influence for Shia ends. The philosopher Ibn Khaldun described this. It’s related to the concept of asabiya, or group feeling. Kievsky loves to talk about this. Hide your views!
I would add that it is not really worth disabusing minority interlocutors of the incorrect or insane beliefs that so many of them openly hold. You will receive no thanks, only bile and resentment for ‘whitesplaining’ or whatever it is called. You may even become a target for altruistic punishment by white leftists. Only the views, and ultimately actions, of our own people matter at this point: let the dead bury the dead.
Woke Leftists would love to cancel free-speech activists, but they don’t because they know it would be bad optics for them.
Similarly, it might suit some (definitely not Jim Goad!) to adopt my tactic of saying things like, “So how would you answer those who make this argument . . ?” or “Yeah, that topic came up on a radio talk recently and one guy pointed out . . .” The idea is to avoid turning your and your opponent’s differing views into a (tiresome) clash of egos and instead cast yourself as a neutral referee. “Hey, I’m just trying to ensure a fair fight here.”
It’s not just a sneaky gambit: I really am genuinely interested in hearing a coherent, rational case from the other side. (I live in hope.)
Can anyone say anything about a Brother Nathanael? He is a jew but strongly anti-jewish, talks a lot about secession.Is he to be trusted?
Brother Nathanael? I don’t know if he’s to be trusted, but he’s damned funny. Sort of like Larry David’s evil (or good) brother.
I love the illustration.
The article is a tad misleading, re being a spy, but thoughtful about what we do to spread WN. I’m 68 and live under the radar as much as I can, although I’m in St. Louis, so we don’t have the naïveté our Canadian friend deals with. The reality is pretty much in our faces, although there are still a lot of people with blinders on, but it was always thus; in the 19th century, the farther away you were from Indians, the more of an Indian lover you were.
I feel people out, and drop hints. Also, watch yourself around women. They’re very ‘woke’. I remember in 1984, Orwell wrote that the female members of the Party were the most savage and doctrinaire. Seems like history has caught up with that.
I always found Harold Covington helpful in describing how to approach and contact people.
As for spying, I recall what Balzac wrote: ‘The trade of a spy is a very fine one…is it not enjoying the excitements of a thief, while retaining the character of an honest citizen?’
Also recall how Sir Walter Scott always said a traitor was the profession of a gentleman…thinking of the Scots and Irish conspiring against John Bull.
I have this friend in the northwest, sort of a normie con with green tendencies. He finally got some job as a salesman after years of unemployment, and after a few months he had befriended this girl pretty well at the job. One day he expressed some unfavorable opinions about Muslims to her in private. She went and reported him to the management, and he lost his job! These people really live this sh*t. Doesn’t surprise me to see what’s been happening in the NW last year. Just to underscore what you said about females.
I would say one of the simplest action one can take as an ‘agent’ is to become respected and influential in as many circles / communities as possible. School, church, community garden/clean up work, volunteer work, hobby groups, sports etc – become well known and respected.
So many benefits to this:
– you have a bigger safety net if you are ever doxxed.
– you will be able to redpill more people if you are ever doxxed. If you are ever doxxed, a % of your circle will look into your ‘abhorent’ political views. Lets say its 20%. If you’re only known by 200 people, then that is 40 people. If you are known and respected by 500 people, then it is 100 people who may look up this knowledge.
– a time will come when we may need you to contribute your social capital to a political party or to vote a particular way. The more people you can influence the better.
Bear in mind, this is in the context of keeping your views secret (or to whatever degree you are comfortable).
Too many of our guys and gals are trying hide from the world.
My second point is to non white readers/allies: you can contribute in many ways since your risks are much lower. This system does not attack an asian that supports white self determination as much as a white that supports white self determination.
I’ve been engaged in an on-line debate with Alan Dershowitz, famed lawyer formerly on the Harvard faculty. After my last rejoinder, he cited me as a hateful person and refuses to debate any further.
I wanted to share my last message to Alan:
Dear Mr. Dershowitz:
Certainly I’m an antisemite, and I bemoan the decision of naive white people to allow hundreds of thousands of East European and Russian Jews to relocate to our white country between 1880-1920. Near Eastern Semites, Jews are dispositively hostile to Aryans, and are frantically devoted to turning white people into a minority in America. Not numerous enough to accomplish this single handedly, they employ negroes, whom they quietly despise, as frontline troops.
Naivete is the Achilles Heel of white Americans weakened by Christian egalitarianism. A normal country would pursue mono-racialism as characterized by Israel’s treatment of Ethiopians professing Judaism. A diverse demographic is the very last thing Israel would endure.
Jews don’t control Hollywood, the mainstream press, and those television advertising agencies that take such joy in avalanching TV screens with images of white girls canoodling with subhuman negroes? Jews love to see members of the superior race defiling their own gene pool.
America actually was a monoculture, or almost, in 1950 when she was 90% white, practiced segregation, and was at the top of her game. Today’s radical heterogeneity will soon enough destroy America’s one-time promise and leave it a broken society of immiscible minorities analogous to an unattended public toilet.
I never threaten anyone. I do however reserve for myself the right to hate.

Another tip is to simply join in majority white hobbies.
Shooting, hiking, BJJ.
