This is the 100th post for this iteration of Amerika Erwache, so I hope you will forgive a little self-indulgence as I mark the occasion. Think of it as a Special Edition: I thought it would be interesting and worthwhile to revisit some of the highlights and give a little bit of the backstory behind the blog and podcast production.
Technically this is the 100th post, but admittedly, a few of those posts were rather short “housekeeping” entries. Still, given that Amerika Erwache actually started in late 2019 as a Google Blogspot creation, only to be shut down and deleted by Google in 2022, I don’t mind including the “housekeeping” in the count, as I’m not counting any of the posts from the Blogspot version. Here we are marking the 100th post on our own domain.
Why the Blog?
First, a little background:
I am a member of the American Nazi Party. But the blog is not an official organ of the Party, it is my own creation. I like this arrangement, as I know that if I screw up something on the blog, the Party cannot be held accountable. I own it, I fund it, and I am responsible for all content.
However, Members and Supporters of the American Nazi Party are strongly encouraged to show initiative and do something that will help spread the word (in a responsible, non-violent, honorable fashion). Suggestions include handing out flyers, starting a podcast, running a blog, running for office, etc. In short, being a Member of the Party requires active participation in some fashion.
It makes sense: we’re fighting a narrative that has been beaten into the American people for decades. We’re not only trying to educate people, we’re trying to reeducate them. Sitting on our asses and hoping for the best while quietly believing that things would be so much better under National Socialism simply isn’t going to get it done.
Shortly after joining the Party I began helping to create flyers and other promotional materials. But I wanted to do more. I wanted to speak my mind and help America awake from the Judo-Capitialist coma it has fallen into, as well as further the understanding of National Socialist principals in English.
Unfortunately, flyer distribution is problematic in my area: I live on the Left Coast in one of Antifa’s hometowns with a fully-funded Soros DA. The last time anyone other than a Democommie was elected mayor was 1951. Stalin’s granddaughter actually lives here. As you can imagine, pro-Nazi flyer distribution in my area is…challenging.
Hence: Amerika Erwache!
The Blog
Coming up with new articles once or twice a week can be an intimidating task: sometimes there are simply too many things happening all at once and it is difficult to know where to focus, and sometimes it feels like there is nothing new to say. Then there is the time commitment: It takes hours of research and writing to create and post an article. I respect you, and our cause, too much to simply throw things into the cybersphere for the sake of making noise. I strive for accuracy, honesty, and sincerity.
Just as I often refer to the works of Gottfried Feder, Dietrich Eckhart, Walter Darré, and Alfred Rosenberg—to say nothing of Adolf Hitler himself— I want posterity to be able to use my work as a resource if necessary. I see myself as continuing the National Socialist conversation if you will. I want posts to be informative, educational, and thought provoking. I want to show you how I arrived at my opinion, and how the matter at hand relates to National Socialism. Lastly, I also try for a degree of narrative flow to keep the blog pleasant to read.

Graphics
Another component to the blog are the graphics featured on this site. I’ve always enjoyed moving pixels around. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and with today’s emphasis on the visual over the written message, that has never been more true.
Some of the work is created from scratch. But admittedly, I draw a great deal of inspiration from the propaganda of the Third Reich for a couple of reasons: it is crisp, clean, and impactful; and it often illustrates a National Socialist theme. I feel that bringing it forward and updating it for use today honors those who have come before us.
Here are some of my favorites:
Coloring Book
While we are on the subject of graphics and illustrations, one item tangentially related to the Blog (it was created by yours truly) is the Third Reich Coloring Book as featured on the Blog homepage and in the blog post dated June 23, 2024, and which can be found on the ANP website. If you have not already, be sure to give it a look. It is a lot of fun to color while listening to your favorite podcasts, and it supports the ANP.
The Podcast
Then there is the podcast. To date, content consists primarily of a reading of the written blog post when it is posted. In the future it may serve as an additional source of information to supplement the blog, but for now the primary purpose is to make the information found on the blog available in a format preferred by many who dislike reading or find it easier to incorporate audio in the flow of their daily life.
Depending on the complexity of the post, and my ability to speak on any given day, it takes an hour or so to make a podcast episode. I use a rudimentary setup consisting of one mic I purchased years ago to record music, a USB adapter, and free recording software. Often I have to navigate the extraneous noise of the HVAC kicking on, neighbors blowing leaves, and the occasional train rolling through the intersection. I rarely get it right in one take and often have to edit or redo sections.
I suppose I could have an AI/bot thingy read it, but that feels like a cop-out. One has to draw the line somewhere, and I’ll speak for myself, thanks. To each his own. Plus, I like to begin and end each episode with a snippet of the Horst Wessel Lied, the unofficial anthem of the Third Reich. I probably should let that clip run a little longer than I do before I fade it out, as there is a beautiful harmony in this version about 28 seconds in.
Currently the podcast can be found on Spotify and iHeart Radio. Just search for Amerika Erwache.
Well, we turn the page on post 100. Thank you for your indulgence and your continued support. National Socialism by definition is a community effort.
