Silver Legionism

Silver Legionism is a fascist ideology representing the ideas of the Silver Legion of America. It is culturally far-right, economically centered, and has uniquely 1930's American characteristics, such as non-interventionism and opposition to President Roosevelt's New Deal; in addition, it has  Clerical Fascism,  American Nationalism,  Corporatism,  Anti-Communism,  White Nationalism and racial segregation integrated into its beliefs.

Silver Legionism hoped to create a "Christian Commonwealth" without Jews or non-whites, which would be brought about by a "Silver Revolution" that would put the organization's leader, William Pelley, in power.

In 1928, William Dudley Pelley has entered the Esoteric World when he had an Out-Of-body Experience in Altadena, California for that which he travelled to heaven for a meeting with God &  Jesus Christ for seven minutes while talked about the spiritual transformation of America and he later claimed that the experience gave him the ability to levitate, see through walls, and have more out-of-body experiences at will.

In 1929, William Dudley Pelley became disillusioned with the movie industry and later he experienced an event called The Great Depression but then in 1930, he moved to New York City where he founded the "Galahad Press" to began lecturing on spiritualism while most of his followers at this time were women before he moved to Washington DC a year later

In July 1932, William Dudley Pelley moved to Asheville, North Carolina to found The "Galahad College" that specialized correspondence courses on Social Metaphysics and Christian Economics while it believes that Anglo-Saxons were the direct descendants of the "Ten Lost Tribes" of ancient  Israel but also he founded a network of nondenominational spiritualist study groups called the "League of the Liberators".

On January 30th 1933, William Dudley Pelley becomes an admirer of Adolf Hitler who took power in Germany because of the  Pyramid Prophecy while the next day founded the  "Silver Legion of America: on January 31, 1933, modelling his group after  Mussolini's Black Shirts and  Hitler's Brown Shirts even Pelley became one of the very first Americans to create an organization praising the work of Hitler.

In February 18th 1933, William Dudley Pelley have issued the Liberation newspaper to become an official press for the "Silver Legion Of America" but then in November 3rd 1933, this group held the first rally in Kreutzer Hall, East 86th Street, New York City and then in February 1934, They were officially incorporated in the state of Delaware as a Patriotic fraternity.

The "Silver Legion of America" have organized factions into nine districts within the country while had chapters in 22 states such as Washington along with California while it has a membership who are mostly middle class non-immigrant Americans with Northern European heritage and some of the members were Catholic (Pelley Hates Catholics) while most of them was predominately Protestant with a large number of former midwestern  Klansmen even in Southern California a women’s auxiliary was formed and it was called the Petticoat Platoons.

By 1934, the "Silver Legion of America" had around 15,000 members along with 25,000 supporters while in certain date known as February 3th 1934, William Dudley Pelley have suspect Franklin Prophecy in his Liberation newspaper in which claimed that Benjamin Franklin warned Americans not to allow Jews to benefit from the United States Constitution and in 1935, Nazi Germany along with Hollywood funded the group to build the Murphy Ranch in Rustic Canyon, Los Angeles by Jessie M. Murphy, Winona Stephens, Norman Stephens & Paul Williams who is a  African-American but it's not only the place the Silver Legion of America have built but also a cabin in Redmond, Washington called the Silver Lodge even William Dudley Pelley has been here.

William Dudley Pelley who is a Nazi Sympathizer from the 1930s never visited Nazi Germany nor meet with their National Socialist representatives but he meet the leader of the German American Bund named Fritz Kuhn who made a courtesy call in Los Angeles and also he forged alliances such as the "Klu Klux Klan", Ezra Pound who wrote a letter, George Sylvester Viereck & Boris Brasol.

William Dudley Pelley believed that the Jewish Problem in America could be solved by moving all the Jews to a unknown location called Beth Havens to sterilized the male Jewish population as it was better than the pogroms and he have admired Abraham Lincoln through it decision to end  slavery to be celebrated for smashing the Jewish bankers when he issued the greenback note but Pelley believed that  Blacks should continue to remain in a segregation or repatriated back to Africa also he attempted to appeal to the  Native Americans by removing them from their reservations and replacing them with Jews along with  Mexicans or  improvident backwoods rednecks instead even Pelley sought common ground with  Elwood Towner/Chief Red Cloud.

William Dudley Pelley has it's views on Capitalism while he said that Capitalism also the  Banking scheme which operated alongside it had wrecked the dreams of America's founding fathers but in Los Angeles, California there were Silvershirt meetings often attracted more than 500 people including  wealthy ones like  Walt Disney while the "Silver Legion of America" was financially supported by Henry Ford and then these two people are forced to betray the Silvershirts when the United States of America declared war on the Axis Powers during World War 2.

William Dudley Pelley wanted to create a Christian Commonwealth in which has no paper money along with no bankers but also he wanted to banned all inheritance while he wanted people to not be allowed making more than a hundred thousand dollars a year to prevent greed or hoarding and Pelley hated Urbanism along with urban cites mostly as he wanted them to be largely destroyed or aggressively shrunk in favour of giving everyone a decently large amounts of land to allow them to do their own thing while the Jews should be isolated in walled-off cities.

William Dudley Pelley defended Individualism from what he considered the economic exploitation cynicism of Capitalism while he thinks the encouragement or development of true rugged Individualism is what the Christian Commonwealth would achieve and at the same time making certain that rugged Individualism is individuality in bona fide expression that is not a form of economic sadism inflicted on the impoverished by materialistic cynics.

William Dudley Pelley believed a Christian Commonwealth was an alternative to Capitalism, Communism even Fascism with elements of Christian Identity,  Theocracy,  Technocracy &  Georgism while claiming the dark souls are Jews, Blacks & Catholics and Pelley wrote a certain bool called No More Hunger for his plans about a Christian Commonwealth with a recommended article by  Utopian Socialist named Edward Bellamy as an example of his economics even the book has been read by people who imposed the Vietnam War (1955-1975).

William Dudley Pelley believed a Christian Commonwealth in which educational facilities or opportunities on all levels are available to each every child limited only by the individual’s inability to qualify for higher learning with special vocational training to be offered to those who are unable to qualify for or lack the desire to achieve high school along with college diplomas and Pelley believes a Christian Commonwealth in which all citizens have the opportunity to labour at vocations of their own choice, compensations or rewards for labour being premised solely on efficiency, talent or promotions achieved according to diligence and worth.

William Dudley Pelley believes a Christian Commonwealth in which major legislation cannot be announced as law to be obeyed until it has been approved by commendatory votes of 51 percent of those citizens expected to obey it while incompetent dishonest officials can be quickly effectively removed by impeachment or recall votes of 51 percent of the citizenry of the districts effected and Pelley believes a Christian Commonwealth in which all votes so cast for or against a man or a measure are published then preserved as public property thus abolishing dishonest tallying of returns while eliminating the present cumbersome or a corrupt polling-place that now has to be operated for the production of the secret ballot that was secret because men are economically obligated to other men with any hostile voting might make them the objects of reprisals.

William Dudley Pelley believes all medical or hospital needed to assumed by the Christian Commonwealth recognizing its moral obligation to lift financial burdens from the unfortunate who suffer injury or are afflicted with costly debilitating illness and Pelley believes the cultural or artistic facets of life are nurtured with augmented so that the highest mental spiritual consciousness possible may be attained by each citizen.”

William Dudley Pelley believes in the spirit of reincarnation in which he believes that you will reincarnate over again until your soul has developed enough to achieve ascension by being a good person just like Buddhism but eventually you stop reincarnating to become a supernatural being that lives in a astral plane in which has better places higher up just like heaven but also Pelley believed in famous lost societies like the city of Atlantis that was on the lands of  Hyperborea in which was the real location of  Israel and Pelley got big in predicting future events by using the pyramid prophecy like he was the next Nostradamus included the second coming of Jesus Christ in September 17th 2001, in which did not happened or World War three would happen in 1959, between  China and the United States in which Christ will return to earth early but that did not happen as well.

There is some hidden events involving the "Silver Legion Of America" for example a Silvershirt field marshal by the name of Roy Zachary who was in Chicago was publicly threatened to kill President Franklin F. Roosevelt or he wanted commit suicide (Not) if nobody helped him and also an local leader of the "Silver Legion in Cleveland" called for an armed uprising to prevent an impending Socialist Revolution while the "San Diego Silver Shirts" group lead by Charles T. Lee conducted military exercises, stole weapons from a nearby naval base wanted to planned a siege on the city but it was stop by the authorities before this could happened.

In the half of 1935 the "Silver Legion of America" became largely inactive due to investigations of the McCormack-Dickstein committee but in 16th August 1935, William Dudley Pelley founded the "Christian Party" as a political wing to the "Silver Legion" and it was active in most states as well being organized on the west coast but then during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), Pelley joined forces with the "German-American Bund" with various  Italian-American Fascist organizations in support of the  Spanish Nationalists during the Spanish Civil War while it unanimously condemned the  Spanish Republicans.

Pelley run for office in the 1936 Presidential Election under the "Christian Party" to replace president Franklin D. Roosevelt with Willard Kemp as the vice presidential candidate but got only 1,600 votes that ended up in failure even the slogan of this political party was "Christ Or Chaos!" and then Pelley his married second wife called Helen Hansmann in which was also ended in divorce just like his first wife.

By 1937, William Dudley Pelley was accused for engaging in Un-American Activities but then in 1938, the "Silver Legion of America" has now 5,000 members while in July 18th 1938, Roy Zachary spoke at the Red Men’s Hall on Riverside Avenue in Spokane, Washingston in which ruined by Margaret L. Weaver with 700 Anti-Fascist demonstratiors but also in 1939,  Francis Parker Yockey was invited to spoke at a Silvershirt gathering and In 1940, the "Silver Legion" headquarters in Asheville, North Carolina was seized and raided by the House Un-American Activities Committee while arresting it's members forcing Pelley to relocate to Noblesville, Indiana  and fight lengthy expensive legal battle even he accused president Franklin D. Roosevelt for being a warmonger that lead him being investigated by J. Edgar Hoover with the  FBI while they are interviewing members of the "Silver Legion".

After Imperial Japan bombed Pearl Harbour on December 7th 1941 that lead the United States to declared war on the Axis Powers a day later William Dudley Pelley has disbanded the "Silver Legion of America" along with the "Christian Party" and local police occupied the Murphy Ranch along with the Silver Lodge to arrest former members of the "Silver Legion" but Pelley continued to attack the government along with British Imperialism in his new magazine called "Roll-Call" in which later prompted him to get arrested at in Noblesville, Indiana in April 1942 as he is charged with High Treason & Insurrection.

[[File:%27Murican_Fash.png]] American Fascism/Smithism
American Fascism/Smithism is based on the thoughts of American political figure Art J. Smith.

He was born in Ormsby, Pennsylvania, United States of America on 1898, but ten years later  Art J. Smith left school but then after his adolescence of  petty crime that was committed, he served with the  British Army during World War One 1914-1918, and then he enlisted into the  American Army as pilot reportedly downing seven  German aircraft during that time.

In 1918, Art J. Smith returned home with an English wife that was soon to be divorced along with a chestful of medals but he claimed that he is a man of high adventures such as serving with Russian President  Alexander Kerensky as aide during the  Russian Civil War 1917-1923, flying bomber planes for  Pancho Villa during the  Mexican Revolution 1910-1920 and joining the  French Foreign Legion in  Morocco during the Rif War 1921-1926.

Art J. Smith has set up a pilot school in the state of Georgia to ruin it but later he was arrested for trying to enter Mexico during the Cristero Rebellion 1926-1929, and then in the summer after the Bonus March on Washington DC of 1932, Smith created the "Khaki Shirts of America" as an organization that was appealing to the American war veterans & Italian-Americans.

The "Khaki Shirts of America" has a headquarters that was located at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with a doubtful membership of 2,000 people but Giovanni di Silvestro who is attorney of  Mussolinist group called the "Sons of Italy" considered Art J. Smith as  clown while his organization was an embarrassment keeping them at arm’s length and Walter W. Waters who is a leader of the "Bonus Army" quickly disassociated himself from Smith who is his former colleague.

Art J. Smith did little to refute those refusing to take him seriously while like most fascists he had a weakness for sartorial finery while charged his recruits for membership, clothing & expenses but the more they paid, the higher the rank they received in this group and also Smith incorporated the "Khaki Shirts" as a business that led many to assume his movement served merely as a personal racket.

Art J. Smith who is the leader of the "Khaki Shirts of America" had smaller contingents in New York City along with Camden, New Jersey but he claimed to have 25,000 additional followers nationwide even it was not true but also Smith professed to possess artillery, tanks & machine guns in abundance that likely as real than his adventures around the world and members of the group cause trouble around Philadelphia by carrying clubs, lead pipes & knives in battles with  Unionists,  Communists or other perceived enemies.

In June 1933, Art J. Smith hosted a public meeting in the Reyburn Plaza that was ostensibly a conclave for unemployed veterans but the event soon turned into a Fascist rally that has a recruitment drive but the "Khaki Shirts of America" members are facing indifference hostility among veterans more concerned with food or jobs than a violent revolution and equally unimpressed were a gang of Communist dock workers who are mostly Italian-Americans themselves who picketed the rally that lead to prepared violence.

Afterwards, Art J. Smith lead his group with a band of about 200 marching through south of Philadelphia while encountered a group of Communists near Passyunk Square that proved decidedly unwelcoming that led to violence while fists, knives & clubs flew with a massive brawl erupted and when the police arrived there are dozens of participants who were injured while one person who is named Carlo Tresca was dead but since most witnesses agreed that the Communists struck first, Smith quickly claimed martyrdom holding an elaborate funeral to mourn the fallen Fascist.

In July 14th 1933, Art J. Smith hosted a rally at Columbus Hall in Queens, New York attracting some 200 attendees while some were members of the "Khaki Shirts of America" while others came from a certain chapter of Italian American Blackshirts but other Italian-Americans however didn’t appreciate this effort to introduce Fascism to their adopted homeland for example Carlo Tresca who is a radical publisher who is a labour organizer affiliated with the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) led a counter charge in his newspaper called "La Stampa Libra" in which he urged Italian American to picket the event even he did not advocate for violence against them as he expected a clash between Fascists and  Socialists to end peacefully.

As the rally commenced, several Communists including the followers of Carlo Tresca infiltrated Columbus Hall to began heckling Art J. Smith while Fort Velona who is a renowned Socialist illustrator caricaturist shouted the words “Morte a Mussolini!/Death to Mussolini!” at every mention of the Duce’s name but after several insults, a group of "Khaki Shirts" surrounded Velona to beat him senseless with fists, clubs & chairs to cheers from the crowd and as Smith continued speaking, several other protestors attempted to rescue Velona that lead to a general melee as the Khaki Shirts pounced on the interlopers while several protesters were beaten or stabbed even others were thrown down a flight of stairs while into the alley outside.

Art J. Smith whose speech was already disrupted decided to dismounted the podium to waded into the crowd with his lead-lined riding crop spoiling for a fight but then he spotted 22 year old college student protester named Antonio Fierro, grabbed him by the collar so he can repeatedly smashed his skull even Fierro who is bleeding profusely managed to escape but a phalanx of Khaki Shirts to block his escape and at this point a shot rang out that killed the lights but when the lights flashed back on a moment later he lay dead next to Smith.

The police have arrived after the event so Art J. Smith along with the "Kalki Shirts of America" contrived a farcical cover-up such as advising his bodyguard Frank Moffer who had fired the fatal shot that killed Antonio Fierro hide his murder pistol weapon in a piano but as the police began questioning the crowd about Fierro’s death, an Italian American cab driver named Athos Terzani insisted that the Kalki Shirts had killed his friend so he led the police to the piano and rather than arresting Smith or Moffer, they decided to apprehend Terzanu instead in which started a whole fiasco that was apparently a Communist trick to discredit the Khaki Shirt cause but the only thing more absurd than this explanation is that the police accepted it then charging Terzani with murder.

Art J. Smith returned to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to prepare for a more ambitious undertaking such as planning to organize his group to march on Washington DC while carrying arms in emulation of Benito Mussolini’s descent on  Rome but his program remained remarkably muddled but Smith pledged to establish a government that he dubbed Monocracy aka  Autocracy by abolish Congress while place the economy on the silver standard along with institute a massive military build-up but somewhere down this list was payment of veteran's bonuses as Smith vowed to wage relentless war on economic crime, political graft &  judicial  corruption even he is less high-mindedly while he threatened to exterminate  American Jews.

Art J. Smith directed little vitriol towards President Franklin D. Roosevelt such as not only leaving him as president but also investing him with  dictatorial powers on the assumption that he’d back the "Khaki Shirt" movement wholeheartedly but this hope was as delusional as Smith’s boast that over a million veterans would join his march while in fact certain veterans who took notice of him seemed to despise him and Mike Thomas who is a fellow survivor of the Bonus March of 1932, threatened to mobilize a counter-force of veterans to block Smith’s coup.

The Philadelphia police took Art J. Smith’s blustering seriously so they infiltrated the "Khaki Shirts of America" with several informers while one of them notified the authorities that Smith planned to seize several police armories along with National Guard armories for the march on Washington DC on to procure weapons for his men at Columbus Day October 12th 1933 and this inspired the police to act by tracking down Smith’s headquarters by perusing his incorporation papers.

On October 12th 1933, several hundred heavily armed policemen raided the warehouse operating as headquarters of the "Khaki Shirts of America" to arrest twenty seven bewildered "Khaki Shirts: to uncover a treasure trove of uniforms, correspondence & weapons but among them were 40 rifles, a smaller collection of handguns along with ammunition, swords, truncheons & assorted other weapons and the only thing missing was Art J. Smith himself who absconded to Camden with $25,000 in the face of police persecution.

Art J. Smith has his followers turned on him for example a former Khaki Shirt said “Death to the Rats of the General Staff!” while spilling lurid details about the "Khaki Shirts of America" plans for a new nation but also Smith had joined of his subordinates like Frank Spinogatti who is a troublemaker whose brother was an associate of Camden’s underworld was in hiding from arrest by his dwindling group of supporters and the march on Washington DC even without Smith had forty four participates that reach the capitol lawn before the police peaceably dispersed them.

Art J. Smith remained at large until in December 1933, when a murder trial about Antonio Fierro was commenced while Athos Terzani’s case became a cause celebre among the Left along with Smith’s archnemesis such as Socialist leader Norman Thomas & Carlo Tresca organizing an defence committee but Smith was subpoenaed & compelled to testify in this trial insisting upon a modified version of his original story and he now admitted that the gun used to murder Antonio Fierro belonged to the bodyguard Frank Moffer but claimed that Terzani had ripped the weapon from Moffer’s hand to shot Fierro.

Art J. Smith’s defense faltered when a witness recanted his testimony when he admitted that members of the "Khaki Shirts of America" threatened him with murder if he told the truth along with Atho Terzani who was acquitted and Smith quickly tried for perjury so he was sentenced from three to six years in Sing Sing prison that was located at Ossining, New York while emerging penniless three years later.

Art J. Smith worked several menial jobs through the "Works Progress Administration" (WPA) until he was retiring to Shamokin, Pennsylvania and he died on May 1965, the cause of the death was heart disease.
