Late last year, William D. Johnson and others announced the formation of a new political party, called the American Third Position. It has filed for status as a political body in California, but otherwise does not seem to have carried out any ballot access work.
The party’s web page is here. The program says, “We will stop all immigration into America, except in special cases.” The party’s logo includes the figure of Charles Lindbergh.
Based on the fact that there are several established parties out there, I am surprised that they felt the need to start a new one. The Constitution Party is one that comes to mind when thinking of a party that seeks to halt illegal immigration…..
To be fair, stopping _all immigration_ is a bit different to _halting illegal_ immigration.
Oh, and check out their party tagline:
“Race and Nation”. The British National Party use that phrase too.
Yes and “Third Position” is a post-wwII rebranding of nazi ideology as neither left nor right in economic terms. The current leadership of the British National Party has many veterans of old “Third Position” groups.
Looks like just another right-wing splinter, though, whatever old magazines they’re reading.
Scott West is right – Third Position is an attempt to dress up racial fascism as a new progressive ideology, opposed to the individualism of the right as well as the Marxism of the Left.
Kevin MacDonald (a 3rd Position Director) is well known for promoting dubious studies indicating racially based differences in intelligence.
I think I remember this guy from when I was the chairman of the LA County Central Committee of the AIP in the 70’s or 80’s–I think the 80’s. He asked to speak to us on the immigration issue. Seems he was an international trade attorney who spent a lot of time in Japan and like the purity of that culture. He not only wanted to tighten immigration–he wanted to send back non-whites back to their countries of origin.
We showed him the door.
If this is a different person, I expend my apologies, but I suspect it is the same person. Some people just never give up.
Mother Nature asks — How long before white folks in the southern States become black (lots of Sun) and the black folks in the northern States become white (lack of Sun) ???
Gene Berkman,
Are you certain that Kevin MacDonald has been involved in the race and intelligence issue? I am familiar with his Jewish culture series, but that’s really a different issue.
Sound like my kind of party.
I never believed in party politics. I guess I must be one of these “racial fascist” ya’ll are talking about?
If the A3P ever makes it to my State – I’ll support them. I’d rather stick with my racial family, than support political parties that don’t represent people, let alone mine. The only people the Democrat and Republicans represent are Blacks and Hispanics, because when was the last time you saw a Dem or Repub speak to an audience of White-Americans, addressing our issues, like they do at NACCP or La Raza conferences? Um, never!
The Republicans equal corporations. The Democrats equal corporations and Union.
The A3P is about representing the oppressed White people, as neither the Dems or Repubs represent my people’s interest. So, why should I vote for them? Why should I vote Democrat or Republican when all they’ve done for my people is place us in debt, ruin the economy, ruin the environment, ruin America inside out?
Kevin Macdonald heavily involved in anti-immigration, white racist happenings and race based intelligence psudoscience, –VDARE etc. in addition to his extended antisemitic diatribes.
Anytime you folks want to leave please rest assured I will turn out the lights for you!
But they’re calling for energy independence! They’re practically hippies!
Back in reality, these people are disgusting. They’re racists, plain and simple, as much as they try to dress it up.

Hey, the Libs have [FINALLY] a great set of symbols [after the dumb dumb ‘Free Lunch’ period] the Greens have the Kansas Sun Flower and the eternal reputation as Effeminate Gardeners! Most of the other not so bright non Democans and non Republicrats are ‘standing out by blending in’ with the ubiquitous Eagle and Eagle Head homiage of the federal government.
At least the Third Way [POST WWI !!!!!!] has Lucky Lindy by way of the 1930s America First movement!

Since when is energy Independence hippie? I guess you want us to continue relying on foreigners for our energy, and having gas prices artificially inflated?
Oh, my! Such a radical idea that these people would propose independence from Saudi manipulators, the horror. It is preposterous that Americans would ever bestow future generations with something more than slavery to foreign Hermits.
Oh, and closing the borders? oh, I don’t believe I can take it anymore, the horror, the racist, fascist, hippie horror of it all.
Someone, please contact Mexico or North Korea, these people enforce their borders with bullets, oh man!
Here is this radical, racist, fascist, hippie party in America proposing to do the same, but without bullets, shocking, shocking I tell ya, just unconceivably shocking.
They want what La Raza wants for Mexico and what the $PLC wants for Israel and what the Nation of Islam wants for Ghana.
So whats the issue here?
“Since when is energy Independence hippie? I guess you want us to continue relying on foreigners for our energy, …”
Do you know who the consistently largest foreign provider of oil to the US is? Canada. Has been for a quite awhile. Scary scary Canadians!
What makes this party different from others? The fact that it gets 17 comments (at the time this comment is typed) while other articles receive no attention at all.
Our national identity, culture, and way of life are actually, believe it or not, important to a great many Americans. If these things don’t mean much to you, you’ll likely be taken by surprise as to how quick the A3P grows.
With the incredible amount of interest on the part of the public, this party has the potential to overcome restrictions to the democratic process.
Deran
Like that makes a difference? Were still relying on another nation regardless of how friendly or close they are.
Canadians or no Canadians. I’m guessing you believe we shouldn’t have energy independence than? We should just rely on others to supply us with our energy without drilling or searching for new ways America could be energy independent.
It’s not that the Canadians, Mexicans, Venezuelans, Russians, Iraqis, Algerians, Saudi Arabians, are scary, but the fact that we should have energy independence.

Well, Ross Levin, I hope you are as fiercely opposed to the (as you might put it “racist”) Jewish state of Israel, as you are the A3P.
After all, the A3P is merely attempting to gain ballot access for their European-America demographic. Israel on the other hand, has murdered, harassed, and assaulted the Palestinians people for more than half a century.
How about we talk about Obama and his countless radical associations with Black nationalists, communists, and out-and-out terrorists.
Before you whine and shriek “racism” perhaps you should divert your attention to the people with the real power and influence.
Or maybe that’s the point? Are you just being anti-White?
Israel has super-tough immigration policies.maybe the US should break diplomatic relations with them. 🙂

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Thursday warned that ongoing illegal African immigration posed a threat to Israel, and announced that he will ask the government to endorse a plan to erect a barrier along Israel’s border with Egypt to prevent infiltration from Africa.
The barrier is meant to prevent an expected “flood” of African immigrants seeking jobs in Israel, Netanyahu said.
According to Netanyahu’s plan, border guards and electronic systems will safeguard the proposed barrier, which will be partly above ground. In addition to the barrier, the government will work to increase law enforcement against employers who hire illegal foreign workers.
Addressing the Manufacturers Association General Assembly, Netanyahu warned that African immigrants infiltrating Israel from Egypt were changing the “demographic landscape” in Israel.
“I don’t know if you have been to Eilat and have seen what’s going on there. In Tel Aviv there are places you wouldn’t recognize, this is something that must be stopped,” Netanyahu said. (JPost, 2010)

Israel Deporting Non-Jewish Immigrants,YouTube 1/3/10 In other countries these kids would melt the hearts of the public, not in Israel. It’s illegal for women who are illegal immigrants (ie non Jewish migrants) to have children in Israel.
CHINESE workers at a company in Israel have been forced to agree not to have sex with or marry Israelis as a condition of getting a job.
According to a contact they are required to sign, male workers may not have any contact with Israeli women.’
That kind of thing would be inconceivable in any western country. As for the border Egypt gets an awful lot of money and military assistance from the US and you can bet it is conditional on Egypt keeping the Israelis happy:-
THE House Appropriations Committee this week inserted $260 million in fresh security assistance for Egypt into a supplemental appropriations bill, along with $50 million for border security. No conditions were attached.’
EGYPTIAN police shot dead a Sudanese man at the Israel border on Sunday as he tried to slip into the Jewish state, bringing to 17 the number of African migrants killed there this year.[…]In June alone, police killed three African men and a 7-year-old Sudanese girl at the sensitive frontier.’
Moreover the total fertility rate of Israeli Jews is extremely high (for a developed country) and actually rising 2.88 for Jews in 2008 while it was 2.69 in 2005 and 2.67 in 2000).

Dear “Oppressed people”, there is nothing wrong with energy independence or even tight controls on immigration, but parties such as this only talk about voluntary deportation because it would be illegal or extremely stupid to print the policies they talk about in private meetings. If one is going to base deportation on the colour of ones skin (ie, that an ethnic minority from Africa or Asia would be deported to the country their family or race came from historically), then it would conflict straight away with the whole idea of White America because America wasn’t “White” to begin with!
I used to be a National Front and British National Party supporter (British political parties, obviously) and what leaders and regional co-ordinators were saying on the issue was a lot stronger than voluntary deportation. Even today, on heavily moderated comments sections of their own websites party members are allowed to write messages inciting to kill other Britons based on perceived qualities of foreign identity such as a different racial background or a different religion.
“…then it would conflict straight away with the whole idea of White America because America wasn’t “White†to begin with!”
Point of historical accuracy. The US was clearly founded as a country for whites. All the Founders were white as were almost all the troops who fought the War of Independence. Most blacks were slaves and the small number of free blacks suffered legal disabilities in almost every state. The indigenous people were, of course, largely ethnically cleansed or isolated in their own communities. And see the Naturalization Act of 1790:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalization_Act_of_1790
The original United States Naturalization Law of March 26, 1790 (1 Stat. 103) provided the first rules to be followed by the United States in the granting of national citizenship. This law limited naturalization to aliens who were “free white persons” and thus left out indentured servants, slaves, free blacks, and later Asians. This was the only statute that ever purported to grant the status of natural born citizen. This act was implicitly racist and when asked to define what “white” meant the policy makers claimed persons who were Caucasian.[1]

How many anti-immigration parties since 1776 ???
See the anti-Irish folks in the 1850s (due to the horrific potatoe famine in Ireland in the 1840s).
What happened to the KNOW-NOTHING party folks ???
I just finished reviewing the American Third Position site and I can’t imagine how anyone could possibly label this organization as either hateful or racist.
I seriously doubt that those of you who have rashly libelled this Eurocentric party regard the NAACP, AIPAC, and La Raza as contemptible organizations. In fact many of those who have derided this new party probably consider themselves adherents of one of these or a similar such advocacy group.
To deny that the USA was a Eurocentric nation until quite recently is nothing other than blatant dishonesty. The same sort of devious hook and crook tactics utilized by the left to deceive and subvert the European people of America in the 1960’s as demonstrated below by Senator Edward Kennedy while promoting the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 on the Senate floor.
There is not a single true statement or proposition in Kennedy’s entire sales pitch, just the usual outright lies, distortions, and fabrications.
“Out of deference to the critics, I want to comment on … what the bill will not do. First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same … Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset … Contrary to the charges in some quarters, S.500 will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and economically deprived nations of Africa and Asia. In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think. Thirdly, the bill will not permit the entry of subversive persons, criminals, illiterates, or those with contagious disease or serious mental illness. As I noted a moment ago, no immigrant visa will be issued to a person who is likely to become a public charge … the charges I have mentioned are highly emotional, irrational, and with little foundation in fact. They are out of line with the obligations of responsible citizenship. They breed hate of our heritage.”
~~Senator Edward Kennedy
How many ILLEGAL folks in the U.S.A. who are getting counted in the 2010 Census — 14th Amdt, Sec. 2 ???
Remember folks, this is a White Nationalist party.
Nationalism is the opposite of globalism.
Globalization is the root cause of the economic downturn.
It is also responsible for outsourcing, H-1B visas, NAFTA,
etc. Instead of global markets we should have sovereign
markets to ensure our sons and daughters will have the
same opportunities our grandparents had.
Globalization makes domestically produced goods and
services so expensive that the working class cannot
afford them. Want to solve health care, Social Security,
housing, unemployment? Simple answer:
Sovereign markets. Nationalism.
I’ve read their platform, and am not seeing anything remotely hateful. As someone that considers himself a nationalist, I wish them the best of luck.
What happened to the KNOW-NOTHING party folks ???
They merged with former Whigs and some other minor parties, and became the Republicans.
Best of luck to the A3P!
