The Right Stuff is aneo-Nazi,[1][2][3]antisemitic[4] andwhite nationalist[5] blog and discussion forum and the host of several podcasts, includingThe Daily Shoah. Founded by American neo-NaziMike Enoch, the website promotesHolocaust denial,[6] and coined the use of "echoes", anantisemitic marker that uses triple parentheses around names to identifyJewish people.[7][8][9]
The site promoteswhite supremacy,[10]neo-Nazism,[1]antisemitism,Holocaust denial, and thewhite genocide conspiracy theory.[5] It cites the work ofKevin B. MacDonald, a former professor of psychology and antisemitic conspiracy theorist, known for claiming that Jews have exhibited a "group evolutionary strategy" to undermine the interests of white people.[11]
Much ofThe Right Stuff's content is devoted to Holocaust denial, including denying theNazi's genocidal policies againstPoles,Russians, and other Slavic peoples, known by neo-Nazis as "untermenschen". To justify their denial of Nazi atrocities, contributors toThe Right Stuff promote the conspiracy theory that the documentary record establishing those genocides was forged by unspecified Jewish people or agents of Jews.[6]
In December 2012,The Right Stuff described itself as "a political and cultural blog" which aimed to unite the "alt-right" and totroll liberals and progressives.[12][non-primary source needed] Over time, its podcasts became more radical, and the blog adopted a conspiratorial neo-Nazi ideology.[13] The blog eventually developed alexicon, defining jargon used by its publications and the wider alt-right movement.[14]
The website achieved general notoriety through its promotion of thetriple parentheses or (((echo))). In 2014,The Daily Shoah began to use a distortion effect when the names of Jewish people were mentioned during a segment called the "Merchant Minute". The meme was adapted to text through the use of parentheses, and in the summer of 2016, it became known through aNew York Times column on the topic.[15]The Right Stuff was also one of the earliest websites to make use of the term "cuckservative".[10][16]
The blog was an early proponent of thepropaganda filmWith Open Gates, which attacksmulticulturalism andMiddle Eastern refugees in Europe and promotes the conspiracy theory that Jews are transporting refugees to harm white people.[17][18]
The blog has seen a steady decline from its peak in 2017. In September 2021, aSouthern Poverty Law Center report found that the website had declined in traffic by 87.5% since February 2017, coinciding with a decline in the total number of cast members appearing onThe Daily Shoah. In February 2019,The Right Stuff founderMike Enoch responded to a datasubpoena related to theSines v. Kessler civil lawsuit by stating thatTRS had "lost regular listeners", and that many users had "cancelled their accounts and stopped visiting the site".[19]
In early 2017, Mike Enoch wasdoxed by fellow neo-Nazis, who revealed that his real name was Mike Peinovich. They also released biographical information which they believe contradicts his professed ideology.[20][21] The dox revealed that Enoch's wife was Jewish and that their wedding had featured traditional Jewish rites and chanting. Enoch was mocked by other neo-Nazis for hisSerbian surname; historically, Nazi Germany had classified Serbs as a subhuman race and theCroatianUstaše puppet regime had perpetrated agenocide of Serbs.[6]
After the doxing, some of Enoch's followers reacted angrily to the information that had been revealed. They circulated forged images of him and his wife which derided their ethnicities.[1]Salon journalist Matthew Sheffield posited that Neo-Nazi podcast listeners speculated that Enoch was Jewish, "controlled opposition", or otherwise disingenuous in his beliefs.[20]
Alex McNabb is a formeremergency medical technician (EMT) who appeared onThe Daily Shoah under thepseudonym "Dr. Narcan". He was fired from his job as an EMT after racist comments that he had made onThe Daily Shoah came to light, including comparingblack patients to animals and claiming to have tortured a young black boy using acatheter needle.[22]

TheNational Justice Party (NJP) was an antisemiticwhite supremacist political organization in the United States[5] that promotedneo-Nazism.[26] It was not aregistered party for purposes ofelectoral politics.[29]
The Right Stuff announced the National Justice Party in August 2020, to be led by Mike Enoch, with a platform based upon thewhite genocide conspiracy theory. The party platform also incorporated antisemitic elements, such as calling for mandatoryemployment discrimination to prevent Jews from working in "vital institutions".[29][30] The chairmen of the party included several prominent white supremacist and alt-right figures, including Joseph Jordan (also known as Eric Striker), Tony Hovater, Michael McKevitt, Gregory Conte, Warren Balogh, and former member of the neo-NaziNational Alliance, Alan Balogh.
NJP held its inaugural event in Millersville Pike just outsideLancaster, Pennsylvania.[25] NJP also hosted a meeting in response to theJanuary 6 United States Capitol attack.[29] On July 24, 2021, NJP hosted its fifth party event in theMidwest and released a full-length documentary about the event.[29] NJP members had also organized gatherings in Ohio, Wisconsin, and North Dakota to protest what they claim are "anti-white" killings involving black suspects.[31]
NJP was also connected toAntelope Hill Publishing, which publishes books by Nazis and fascists and sells those books at NJP events and on the internet.[32] In early 2024, their website'sSSL certificate expired, leaving the website inaccessible.[33]
National Justice Party, a registered political party in the United States has always embraced anti-semitism but is increasingly becoming more enamored with Neo-Nazism.
