The NNA proposes that TVA will be made permanently public.
Congress should bar the sale or spin-off of any TVA generation or transmission without an act of Congress, give directors staggered, removal-for-cause terms, and provide that a vacancy cannot freeze the board's routine business.
Second, America must build more TVAs.
The federal government already runs four power marketing administrations: Bonneville, Western, Southwestern, and Southeastern, that sell federally generated hydropower.
We must convert them, and any new region that wants one, into regional public authorities with TVA's charter: self-financed, multipurpose, and wholesale.
Third, every investor-owned electric utility must be offered a fair price.
The NNA’s Platform calls for bringing the nation's utilities into public ownership, financed with long-dated bonds rather than lump-sum buyouts.
We must begin with willing sellers and with service territories whose customers have asked for public ownership.
We will use condemnation at fair value only where an owner refuses a fair price and the public it serves has voted for the change.
We must keep retail service in local public hands.
Where a municipal or cooperative system already exists, it will stay, and where none does, the people will create one.
Fourth, we will inevitably extend the same approach to water and gas distribution, which share the natural-monopoly structure, but only after the electric program has a record.
This program will be a challenge, it will be grand, and we do not pretend otherwise.
But once complete, it will replace equity capital, which demands a shareholder's return, with bond capital, which demands a bondholder’s.
And that will be a massive saving for the American consumer.
Never forgive, and never forget.
Many of the terrorists who slaughtered our people are still out there. They’re waiting for the next opportune moment. They want you and your kids dead. And they think it’s funny.
Join the NNA today, and advocate for an America that stands up to terror.
What happened in New York on September 11th has been told so many times that it is possible to stop feeling it, and that is its own kind of loss.
America did not learn what was happening from a news anchor first. It learned from two women doing their jobs at thirty thousand feet.
At 8:19 a.m., Flight 11 flight attendant Betty Ong picked up an airphone in the back of the plane and stayed on the line for the next twenty-three minutes, her voice level and precise, describing hijackers' seat numbers, a passenger with his throat cut, a flight crew locked out of its own cockpit.
A few rows away, fellow attendant Madeline "Amy" Sweeney was on a second phone with a manager back in Boston, reading off details with the same steady clarity, narrating her own flight's final minute by minute descent:
"I see water. I see buildings. We are flying low. We are flying very, very low. We are flying way too low."
The call ended when the plane did. Two women spent the last half hour of their lives handing investigators the evidence that would later confirm exactly what had happened and who had done it, because even as their world came apart around them, they kept doing their jobs.
Inside the towers themselves, temperatures from burning jet fuel and the buildings' own contents climbed past a thousand degrees in places. On the floors above where the planes struck, with the stairwells destroyed and the smoke rising faster than help could reach them, some of the roughly two hundred people trapped chose a fall of nine or ten seconds over the suffocating smoke, and the scalding flames. Firefighters working below heard it happening.
To fall countless stories was the last, unbearable choice available to human beings failed by every institution that was supposed to protect them, made with more courage than any human being should ever have to find.
343 firefighters and 72 law enforcement officers died that day, most of them walking up stairwells as countless people ran past them.
One of the first was never even assigned to go inside. Father Mychal Judge, the FDNY's chaplain, ran to the North Tower lobby the moment the first plane hit, pausing only to pray briefly with the mayor before continuing on. He was kneeling over a dying firefighter, removing his own helmet to administer last rites, when the collapsing South Tower sent a piece of falling debris through the lobby and killed him instantly. Firefighters carried his body out through the wreckage in a photograph that would become one of the defining images of that morning: not a soldier, not a rescuer in the middle of a rescue, but a priest who ran toward the fire to be with the dying, and became one of them. His death certificate lists him as Victim 0001.
In the months afterward, thousands more worked the smoking wreckage at Ground Zero, by hand, searching for the dead, breathing air that the government forgot to tell them was toxic. Many of them have died since, of cancers and respiratory disease traced directly to the rubble.

"It is one of the enduring mysteries of American history, so near providential as to give the most hardened atheist pause—that it should have produced, at every hinge point, great men who matched the moment."
— Charles Krauthammer
For months, an online Telegram group calling itself “One Future” (@TheOneFutureOrg) has slithered throughout Fascist circles. Its administrators have presented themselves as “comrades-in-arms” on the path to national renewal.
They are nothing of the sort. “One Future” is not Fascist. The individual behind this online propaganda group is an overt communist, a follower of the Italian left-communist Amadeo Bordiga, who has donned the mask of Fascism for the sole purpose of infiltrating, dividing, and ultimately destroying Fascism from within.
Despite nearly two years of operation, this organization has produced absolutely nothing of substance. They have not organized a single time, nor recruited a single serious activist. They have not published a single original work other than their poorly written “manifesto” that they finally released this summer after being mocked regarding their doing-nothing character, and they have not established a single functional chapter anywhere in the world.
The leader of “One Future” has been foolish enough to record his own ideological confession in public messages.
“Labor unions only hinder the revolutionary potential of the people and make them concede to half-measures like ‘higher wages’ or ‘individual liberties’.”
“Labor unions are fundamentally a contradiction to socialism as a stage of development towards a society free of such capitalist abstractions.”
“I want the dissolution of the old ways [unions] which are the slow death of the proletariat.”
"The goal is to abolish private property..."
These are the obvious words of a Marxist. The same individual went on to speak of "organic centralism, guided by the science of Logic at base of Idealism". It could not be clearer: This is an unambiguous attempt to use the philosophical language of Fascism to justify a communist organizational model that would ultimately abolish the very state that Fascism champions.
“Organic centralism” is a specific term of art in left-communist circles. It was advanced in The Lyons Theses (1926) by Amadeo Bordiga, the founder of the Communist Party of Italy, as a rejection of Vladimir Lenin’s democratic centralism. In Bordiga’s words:
“The democratic criterion has been for us so far a material and incidental factor... it is not an indispensable platform for them. Therefore we will not raise the organizational formula known as ‘democratic centralism’ to the level of a principle. Democracy cannot be a principle for us. Centralism is indisputably one.”
The “One Future” leadership is not just communist. They are the worst kind of communist, the kind that lies about what they are.
The Charter of Labour, the foundational document of Fascist corporatism, explicitly rejected the "One Future" Marxist view of unions as obstacles to revolution (a view they share with Rosa Luxembourg). It established a system of “corporazioni” that integrated workers and employers into the fabric of the State. Strikes and lockouts were prohibited only due to the fact that the presence of organized labor in the corporazioni gave Italian workers parity with employers. Disputes by organized labor were settled by state courts, and the producer was recognized as a pillar of the nation.
Benito Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile, in the “Doctrine of Fascism” (1932), wrote:
“It is in the corporation that fascist syndicalism indeed finds its goal. Syndicalism, of every school, has a course that could be called common... But while socialist syndicalism, by the path of class struggle, ends on the political ground with a final programme of suppressing private property and individual initiative, fascist syndicalism, through class collaboration, leads to the corporation, which that collaboration must render systematic and harmonic, safeguarding property but elevating it to a social function.”
“One Future” heavily features the ideals of Ugo Spirito. Unlike orthodox Fascists, Spirito championed “integral corporatism,” a system where ownership of the means of production would be concentrated solely in the hands of employees. His ideas were considered so ridiculous that Mussolini personally denied him permission to publish one of his books on his theories. “One Future” upholds a fringe economic program that Fascism itself ultimately rejected.
And it is here that one must come to terms with the fact that One Future is a fundamentally contradictory and nonsensical organization.
Fascism has always faced threats from without, but the most insidious threats come from within. The “One Future” group is a Trojan Horse designed to divide the Fascist movement by presenting a false version of Fascism that is communism in disguise.
They want to promote Marxist ideology under the banner of “Fascism” to confuse young activists and lead them into inaction. But above all, they want to demoralize genuine Fascists by presenting a degraded, confused, and intellectually bankrupt version of their ideology.
The "One Future" organization's logo features the Nazi Black Sun, a symbol with no relevance to Fascism. They themselves have admitted that this is a deliberate dog whistle designed to attract neo-Nazis and white supremacists while maintaining plausible deniability. They, just as the Rindersteak communists of the 1930s did, intend to signal to racial supremacists and biological racists that they are welcome in their community.
Make no mistake, this is a confused, contradictory, and morally bankrupt collection of online roleplayers, no different from the rest, who have never involved themselves in community service in their entire existence.
Today, there are plenty of organizations ready and willing to commit to action for the public good, including the New Nationalists of America (NNA) (@nnausa_), an organization that I have had the immense honor chairing, and one which advocates for protecting the American producer.
I'm sure everybody fully understands how fun it can be to sit behind a keyboard and LARP about the 1920s and 30s, but it is time for people to grow up. Either get active or get out.
The fact that Tom Tiffany, who garnered the President’s personal endorsement, and has fundraised $8,000,000, is losing 12% of the vote to Andy Manske in areas like Rusk & Trempealeau counties, should be taken as an indictment against the GOP.
Manske has no national endorsements and has financed his entire campaign almost completely out of pocket.
The fact that this election isn’t unanimous in favor of Tiffany is actually embarrassing.
