This guy "Harold Covington" might be a complete whack job -- who knows for sure? -- there is so much rumor mongering on the Net, it's next to impossible to know what's credible and what isn't, especially in these disputes that center on personalities instead of ideas. Either way, whatever Covington's agenda is, he makes some interesting points in this essay about the Pioneer Little Europe concept, basically taking the position that the idea is fatally flawed because it does not make obtaining State Power one of its main goals. Without State Power, Convington argues, Whites will get no where.
Okay, I got a number of questions on this and the so-called "Pioneer Little Europe" idea, which is as close as anyone has yet come to thinking up an alternative to the Northwest Migration.
First off, the Peoria idea is simple. Matt Hale, understandably enough, is tired of getting his Dad's house where he lives pelted with garbage and tired of being chased down the street, heckled, barred from local business establishments, etc. while his so-called supporters hide behind their computers and holler "rahowa, rahowa, rahowa your boat!" from many, many safe miles away. I know that feeling, believe me. Been there, done that, although it was many years ago in Raleigh.
Love him or hate him, Hale has put his butt out there on the line and as always, when the spit hit the fan Fearless Leader's butt was left turning slowly in the wind. (One of the reasons I am now out of the Fearless Leader game.) Hale has been screaming for his people to get up off their asses, come to Peoria, and give him some backup for several years now.
I honestly do not know how successful he has been, although I would venture to say not too successful, because Hale apparently is unable to provide the two prerequisites for getting some "help", the free flop and the full fridge. My experience with places like Rockwell Hall and my own HQs on Pierce Street and North Street in Raleigh is that once the free flop and the full fridge are in place the word gets out and you can get some warm bodies. Dysfunctional, but warm. I know that bunkhouse at Pastor Butler's drew shaven-headed sad sacks for years, from all over the world. That is one of the main objections to Thomas's "get some land" proposition. Northwest Migration used to mean "come to Idaho and plop your ass down in Richard Butler's bunkhouse." We can't just change that to "come to Washington and plop your ass down in Harold's guest room."
Now, moving on to the Pioneer Little Europe business.
I've been seeing this for about a year on the Internet. The guy pushing it calls himself H. Michael Barrett; no idea if that is his real name. The idea, basically, is that all the racially conscious Whites in a certain area move to a specific suburb of their metro area, i.e. all the racials in Chicago move to Cicero, all the racials in L. A. move to Simi Valley, all the racials in Florida move to West Palm Beach, etc. (Those are just made-up examples, but you get the idea.) They then are to form various kinds of "bonding communities" called Pioneer Little Europes.
At this point, the whole thing gets a little hazy; no one seems to be quite sure exactly what happens after "Pioneer Little Europes" are formed. So far as I can recall, the issue of state power is never addressed. It has been a while since I looked at their web site and I have since forgotten the URL, so they may have updated with more info. Whether anyone has actually implemented this idea anywhere, I don't know. I at least can claim to have brought a few people to the Northwest thus far. If there actually are any Pioneer Little Europe communities in the big city suburbs, they're keeping very quiet about it...as well they might.
The main selling point on Pioneer Little Europe is CONVENIENCE, and with White racial nationalists that is indeed a big selling point. In essence, the move is easier, it can be done in a few days once you get your new digs in your chosen suburb, once you get your beds moved you don't even have to sleep in a single Motel 6 along the way, you can often keep the same 8 to 5 rat-racer job with just a little longer commute, etc. By moving to Pleasantville you get all the conscience-salving thrills and none of the chills and spills of actually trying to come to a new country and create a new nation. You can even watch the same cable TV channels as before.
The problems are obvious: such communities can almost never become viable and self-sustaining when the balloon finally DOES go up. They would (mostly) have little or no agriculture, no natural resources, no mining, little or no manufacturing, and above all no contiguous territory, no coastline, and no room to expand. These little suburban pockets of resistance will simply be besieged, starved out, and overrun by the mudflow. They would be cut off from other White pockets of resistance. Some of these larger islands of white may survive on the brown map for a while, but looking at the fate of the last Whites of Rhodesia and the dwindling, murdered and raped White population of South Africa who lack the vital element of STATE POWER, the prognosis is not good.
To be fair, PLE is at least a faint, tentative step in the right direction, recognizing the need for separation of the racially conscious White remnant and the establishment of bonding communities. PLE is getting there, just as a lot of former conservative like Ed Steele are tiptoeing ever so hesitantly, ever so trembling in angst and fright, toward the concept of a White nation with state power. (Even a year ago, would Ed have dared to write "It's The Jews, Stupid?" We've gotten him as far as "New America" now; Ed is coming along nicely.)
Lest I be accused of being unfair, if someone will send me the URL for the Pioneer Little Europe website, I will check it out myself and also post it here so you can check it out yourselves.

It looks like Covington's major complain is that that once 'the system' crashes, the LE communities wont be self-sustaining. If Covington wants to plan for the end of capitalism like some latter neo-Marxist, that is fine, but it hardly counts as much of a criticism in my book.
As to state power--well, yes, it would be better if everyone moved to the same state, then they could have the kind of 'state' power that interests me. And they would be further down the road to secession, and thus the sort of state power that interests Covington.
Nonetheless, staying put is about a bit more than 'convenience.' It is about economic power, and influence. Staying close to major urban areas provides wealth that whites need, and access to communiction lines need to mobilize the masses. Saving some incredibly small fraction of the population, a la Covington's ideas, is, in comparison, rather small beer.
LE communities would be incredibly power catalysts of white consciousness. For any number of reasons, they are much more likely to occur than mass migration to the NW. They deserve our support.
Covington is a useless figure, who is simply upset that people don't do what he wants them to. He is entirely focused on low-life types and end-of-the-world scenarios. He is loser who wants to drag others down with him, even as clings to his own, more noble but completely un-realistic plans.
