The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off.

Turanian

*See also, "Pan-Africanism, Pan-Arabism, Pan-Slavism and Turanian nationalism: progressive or reactionary?"

MIM debated whether to put up this page about Turanian nationalism. However, at some point we have to handle in detail all the circular and backward nationalism of the region from Estonia down to Iran. As with all other crazy nationalism, the point is expanded territory based on ancient historical ideas unconnected to any notion of humyn progress. Some Hungarians believe that everything from Hungary and Norway to Japan and Korea was "Turania."

The Turanian idea was ideal material for Hitler's racial ideologists. Hitler himself referred to the genocide of Armenians as proof that no one would care if he did the same. A Google search of the terms "Turanian and genocide" turns up over 200 items.

[Boldface all mine.] "It was the Young Turks (1908-1917), however, inspired by neo-fascist and pan-Turanian ideologies, who decided to rid themselves (under the cover of World War I) of the Armenians."

--"The Genocide History Brief" web page

"The Hellenic Genocide was the systematic torture, massacre and ethnic cleansing of several millions Hellenes (Greeks) perpetrated by the Turks in Asia Minor . . . "

"The government is a tyranny by a small clique of Turks, who have tried since 1909 to establish a Pan-Turkish or Pan-Turanian despotism over all the elements, even the Arabs."

"I salute you, my Japanese/Turanian brothers! We have a fight to the death on our hands: nothing less than the TOTAL destruction of the Jewish curse must be our goal."
--Matt in Seattle saluting the "Japanese Nazi Party" also translated by them as "National Socialist Workers Party"

"Our fight is dedicated to our fatherland Japan and our race (Turanid race). At the same time, We have to fight for the freedom of the world against communism, race-mixing, Freemasonry and Zionism. We have to establish the NEW GEOPOLITICAL AXIS – as the World Union of National-Socialists – against ZOG in haste. We wish to expand our international cooperation with those who fighting against the common enemies. We always welcome everyone who has the will and are looking forward to hearing from the comrades all over the world. The Victory shall be ours!" --Opening web page statement of the Japanese Nazi Party

For another typical and comfortable use of the term "Turanian" by one of the few Amerikkkan users of the term of modern times other than "Red Comrades," see the fascist "Stormfront" website. http://www.stormfront.org/rpo/STARBUSH.htm

"The Turanian people, genetically, are the most closely related people to the Native Americans (Amerindians)," say the "Red Comrades."

"Led by Colonel Alpaslan Turkes, the National Action Party espoused a fanatical pan-Turkish ideology that called for reclaiming large sections of the Soviet Union under the flag of a reborn Turkish empire. Turkes and his revanchist cohorts had been enthusiastic supporters of Hitler during World War II. "The Turkish race above all others" was their Nazi-like credo. In a similar vein, Grey Wolf literature warned of a vast Jewish- Masonic-Communist conspiracy and its newspapers carried ads for Turkish translations of Nazi texts."

"The pan-Turkish dream and its anti-Soviet component also fueled ties between the Grey Wolves and the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (ABN), a CIA-backed coalition led by erstwhile fascist collaborators from East Europe. Ruzi Nazar, a leading figure in the Munich-based ABN, had a long-standing relationship with the CIA and the Turkish ultra-nationalists. In the 1950s and 1960s, Nazar was employed by Radio Free Europe, a CIA-founded propaganda effort."

"In 1992, the colonel visited his long lost Turkish brothers in newly independent Azerbaijan and received a hero's welcome. In Baku, Turkes endorsed the candidacy of Grey Wolf sympathizer Abulfex Elcibey, who was subsequently elected president of Azerbaijan and appointed a close Grey Wolf ally as his Interior Minister."
