FAR-RIGHT RALLY ATTRACTS THOUSANDS IN TIME SQARE; YOUNG NATIONALIST TAKES THE SPOTLIGHT
NEW YORK CITY.- A political far-right rally, which took place last Thursday in Time Square, Manhattan, attracted the presence of thousands of New Yorkers, who took interest on the several far-right parties and political associations which assisted the grand-scale event.
The rally was organized by the American National Socialist Parties' Association (ANSPA); a league of far-right organizations, parties and associations based on New York City. The ANSPA was created in 1930 following the disaster of Wall Street, which regressed the American economy into a serious state of financial crisis, with the objective of solidifying national socialism as a prominent movement in American politics. The rally had the goal of extending far-right ideas and ideologies to the American public, as well as presenting certain views the parties had to offer. Over 16 parties and groups took part, 15 of which were ANSPA affiliates. This was the largest event ever coordinated by the ANSPA, and the largest far-right rally in New York history to date. The event began around midday, followed by a series of presentations and speeches, as well as debates, conferences and activities staged by the different parties. The rally ended around 10:00 PM, with a final speech by the President of the ANSPA, Harold T. Ritter.
One of the parties of special prominence in the rally was the so-called National Socialist Aryan Party of America, and their leader, 44-year-old Austrian immigrant Adolf Hitler. The party attracted a considerable audience following a forty-minute-long speech by Hitler, in which he declared that "true Germanic people", which he denominated "Aryans" were the "rightful owners of the world, with the ideal task of eliminating the 'inferior races'", which he described to be the "Jews, Communists and Slavs." Hitler's oratory was described as "fiery, inspiring and utterly powerful," as stated by one of the attendees. "Hitler speaks as if illuminated by a greater grace," said Daily Tribune journalist Henry Peters. "He possesses the skills of a true leader, and his inspiring words bring hope during these times of hardship." Soon, Hitler attracted most of the attention, delivering passionate speeches and bringing attention to his seventy-member party, founded in 1928 by a group of fellow nationalists of German and Austrian descent. "Soon comes an age of greatness and justice," Hitler exclaims, "ruled not by the treachery and impurity of the inferior peoples, but by the divine might of the Aryans. The country shall rise from the agony and suffering incited by the Jewish evil."
At the end of the rally, Hitler was up the stage alongside Ritter. Following Ritter's speech, Hitler delivered one last, fifty-minute speech, described by Ritter as "one of the greatest pieces of oratory ever uttered upon American soil, and shall Hitler be forever remembered alongside Lincoln and Washington as one of the most talented orators to live in the United States."
Over 13,000 people attended the event, with some people coming from other states, including New Jersey, Maine, West Virginia, California and the District of Columbia. Among the attendees were New York Senator Richard Craig, wealthy industrialist John M. Turner and British sociologist Will Stuart Crawford.
