This article was written from the perspective of a TWP officer who helped organize the conference. The article only reflects his own personal opinions and inference, it doesn’t necessarily speak for every person in attendance, nor for all the people who helped organize the conference. We only hope to shed light on the day, for those who weren’t in attendance, as Antifa and their lapdogs in the mainstream media have been sowing a lot of misinformation. Enjoy.
Stormfront 7.0 was a logistical nightmare, due to the event being placed solely into our hands only 10 days before it was suppose to take place. The organizers overcame numerous roadblocks and issues that arose each day that led up to the conference. By the Grace of God, we were able to hold a successful and safe conference, in face of all adversity.
It all started when a member of TWP was asked to provide security for the Stormfront 7 conference, before Don Black had to cancel the event. He, myself, and the other goys of East TN provided security at the very first SF conference seven years ago. Due to the aftermath of Charlottesville, and East TN having new Antifa organizers, he was asked to come back and arrange security for the event. We reached out to our friends in League of the South and ShieldWall Network to come help provide security for the event, because we weren’t sure if we would be dealing with 30 Antifa or 300 (luckily, their numbers ended up being the former vs the latter). Traditionalist Worker Party had our security team ready, and we thought that was the end of our involvement with planning.
Ten days before the event, I received a phone call from our longtime friend “Father Francis”, from Stormfront Radio, telling me that Don Black announced on the radio show that he had to cancel the event, due to health issues. There were calls and emails being rapidly sent by attendees, who couldn’t cancel their: cabins, hotel rooms, and Airbnbs on such short notice without losing their deposits. “Father Francis” answered Don on the radio, stating that the TN goys would pick up the event, so that no one would lose any money. This is how NF came to be the organizers of the event.
With only 10 days to plan the event, we had no speakers lined up. All the original speakers canceled, because the event was still up in the air. We reached out to a League of the South officer, our good friend and comrade, to help us get the event organized and to see if Dr Hill could come speak (I, generally, don’t use the term “comrade”, but this man is a true activist, who has fought with us on the frontline at numerous events). We also contacted our friend Billy Roper, of the ShieldWall Network, asking if he could speak and help organize the event with us (his guys were already on our security team). Billy Roper was right on point, and he took on the duties of getting in connection with all the registered attendees (getting them to the Friday night dinner and the conference), among other things. We had our team of organizers in place: Father Francis, two members of TWP, a LS officer, and Billy Roper, and we all dedicated the next 10 days to frantically putting this event back together.
The weekend before the conference, we had a meeting in East TN, where all the organizers met (except for Billy, since he is so far away from us). We decided to shift the focus of the conference from the stereotypical WN conference topics of: black crime statistics, truths about the Jews, and white man truths…i.e. preaching to the choir, to making the conference focused on activism, and how to apply our beliefs and tactics into real world situations. We set our speaking schedule, and sorted out last minute details. We managed to get 4 notorious speakers to come in just 10 days, which speaks for just how rapidly and effectively the Right is becoming organized (Nationalist Front, in particular). After our speakers gave their lectures, we planned on breaking the event down into workshops, so different people could teach their specialties in activism to the attendees. Everything seemed ready to go.
A couple days after the organizers’ meeting, we were told that the original hall was somehow canceled on us. The original SF organizers still had the hall booked, and we were told we could still use it, but somehow that fell through the cracks (these things happen when events get completely reworked). We were moved to a small room under the park’s restaurant, which provided us with a security nightmare, not to mention a very cramped space. Due to this reason, we had to completely rework our schedule, at the last minute, making it a purely speaking event (still focused on activism, but without the workshops we were wanting to do). Due to this new problem, Billy and ShieldWall Network rearranged their schedule, so they could come to the venue Friday morning to get the new venue set-up and get a lay of the land. Billy and ShieldWall proved to be a huge help.
Friday morning arrived with what we hoped would be an easy day of setting up the venue and meeting the attendees for dinner, but this was not the case. Antifa ended up finding the location of the venues, through SF emails. NF had no part in the leak, as we only gave the location of the venue to a small circle of NF officers, but it was almost expected, due to the event changing hands. By the time Antifa had discovered the location, ShieldWall was already at the park, with TWP in route. Antifa proceeded to harass the venue, bombarding them with call after call, complaining about them allowing us to exercise our 1st Amendment Rights. Antifa’s harassment tactics only aided us. The park had a baby shower and a wedding planned for that same location as our small room, so the park rangers ended up moving our venue from the small room to the large hall, which was independent of the restaurant, as to provide us, and the other events, with better security (thanks Antifa!).
We arrived at the new venue Friday afternoon, meeting the with ShieldWall members who had arrived there a few hours prior. We went about getting the lay of the land and setting up our security points. We are very pleased that ShieldWall was there so early, as it was Billy who was able to pay for and secure our new venue. After we finished with the venue, we set out to the restaurant that we had reserved a room at, for our Friday night meet-and-greet.
Upon our arrival at the restaurant, we discovered that Antifa had conducted a massive harassment campaign against the restaurant for allowing white civil rights activists for meeting there. The manager requested that we find a new venue, as he didn’t want his business to be destroyed by Antifa’s terror tactics. We readily agreed to find a new location, as we didn’t want anyone in the area to suffer abuse on our account. We requested that the owner allow us to leave some people at the restaurant to redirect anyone who showed up for our meeting, and the owner obliged.
While waiting outside the restaurant to redirect folks, we got a phone call that Antifa was already inside the restaurant waiting on us. No sooner than a minute after that call, about 10 police officers showed up at the restaurant, stating that they had received phone calls complaining about us being there. We told the officers that we had just spoken to the manager, and he was fine with us being there to redirect people (when the officers arrived, our security team was escorting an elderly lady to her car, to reroute her to the new venue). At that point, it was obvious that Antifa had called the police. Once we told the officers that Antifa was at the venue, they proceeded to go into the restaurant to see what they were doing. Antifa must have been disguised, as the police never spotted any. Afterwards, the police only requested that some of us go to the new venue, and leave a few people behind with them to redirect, which we happily agreed to (a BIG thanks the Crossville PD, for treating us in an unbiased manner, and holding true to their oaths to serve and protect).
The rest of the night went off without a hitch. We went to a nearby restaurant, and met with a little over 30 other WNs for a nice peaceful meal. Antifa never showed up at the second restaurant, nor did we have any issues with the management or staff at the new venue. Everyone at the restaurant treated us with the utmost respect and gracious Southern hospitality, which we returned in kind. After our meal, we all retired to our respective accommodations, to get some sleep before the conference.
We woke up early Saturday morning, and went down to the conference hall with the rest of the security team. Upon our arrival, we saw an Antifa activist trying to get into the hall, but Billy was blocking his path. The commie was in Billy’s face yelling and being quite threatening, so the security team quickly surrounded the commie, and yelled at him to leave. The Antifa instigator quickly ran off to the cops (for hating the cops so much, they sure went crying to them a lot that weekend). After that little incident, we met with all the park rangers, who ended up providing us with excellent security and service (a big thanks to the park rangers, and other law enforcement, who provided us with such kind and honorable service). Once we had the venue secure and spoke to the rangers, the event was about to begin.
Since the event was originally booked for a different location, myself and another TWP member went to the original location to redirect people who may not have known the venue moved. Upon pulling into the parking lot, we saw the crowd of degenerates who were amassing to protest us. They didn’t see us at first, and went about heckling the baby shower and wedding parties, calling them “nazis”, “racists”, and all sorts of vile words I will not repeat. They were obviously targeting these people simply because they were white, and not dressed in the manner that the classist Antifa thought was appropriate. We waited there for about an hour, then headed back to the venue.
By the time we got back to the venue, many of our attendees had already arrived. We then went about to making last minute a preparations, before our speakers took the stage. Shortly thereafter, the conference began, with more than 50 people in attendance. Tom P was our MC, and he gave a brief rundown on the focus of the event. Tom then introduced Billy Roper to the stage, who gave an excellent speech on activism tactics, followed by an engaging Q&A session. Next, we had Tom P give a speech about running for local office. After they spoke, Tom and I went to get the attendees lunch.
Around the time Billy took the stage, the commies had amassed at our new location. Antifa wasn’t allowed anywhere near our hall, so they gathered about 75 yards away, screaming profanities into their bullhorns and beating drums. They were allowed to violate the park’s noise ordinances, for some reason, until golfers at the nearby golf course began complaining about the vile noise. The attendees of the conference could not even hear Antifa’s clamoring, through all the distance and walls, so the they utterly failed in disrupting our event (contrary to what they and their lapdogs reported). Within a hour of the event conference beginning, Antifa’s numbers quickly shrank from 29 (the most they fielded) to around 19.
After we ate our lunch, Dr Hill took the stage and gave a rousing speech, which really resonated well with the audience (the League picked up at least 4 new members that day). After Dr Hill’s speech, we had a couple unscheduled speakers, such as Al Kelz, take the stage and give some good speeches on various topics (a big thanks is due to Al, for taking on the costs of getting the venue). We then had Matthew Heimbach’s speech as our closing talk. After Heimbach’s speech was given, we took a break and went outside to get some fresh air. To our delight, Antifa was so demoralized by the lack of effect they were having on our conference that they all packed up their bags and left, leaving the park with some peace and quite for the first time since early that morning.
We were told that there was chatter on leftist groups, talking about leaving some Antifa teams behind in the woods to attack the venue, if the police officers left. While the security team was outside, checking to make sure that the commies weren’t trying some diversionary tactic, we allowed a few impromptu speakers to briefly talk on some topics. There were no Antifa to be found, so after the last speakers were done, we closed the conference hall and set off to our respective homes.
The news and Antifa are boasting that our conference was crashed, but it was quite the opposite. Antifa and the news made such a stink about our conference that it became internationally reported news, which proved to only help our Cause. We were not in the slightest way negatively impacted by Antifa’s presence, aside from the fact that law enforcement turned a number of locals away, who were wanting to meet us (we are still unsure why this happened, but we don’t fault our rangers or local PD for the mix-up). We did have a handful of young local guys sneak through the woods just to meet us; we chatted with them for a while, gave them some literature, and they went on their way. We also had an older local woman come get some literature. Meeting the red-pilled locals, in and of itself, made the conference worth it.
Regardless of what anyone says, the conference was a great success. We want to give a huge thanks to all the: organizers, security, and speakers, for making this an excellent Stormfront 7.0. We had a mess handed to us, at the very last minute, and we all worked together to make it a: fun, informative, and (most importantly) a safe event.
We also want to thank all our attendees, who braved what could have been a violent incident, that came to meet and learn with their fellow nationalists. Since we weren’t able to conduct the conference in the manner we had hoped (an activist workshop), the Nationalist Front is planning on hosting an actual workshop event on September 29th, 2018, in the Knoxville, TN area. We hope to see all y’all at next year’s NF conference/workshop. Hail Victory!
