Francis Parker Yockey, American lawyer and philosopher (d. 1960)
Francis Parker Yockey (September 18, 1917 – June 16, 1960) was an American philosopher and attorney. He is best known for his book Imperium: The Philosophy of History and Politics, published in 1948 under the pen name Ulick Varange. Heavily influenced by Spenglerian cultural morphology, Yockey saw Western culture as an organism with its own destiny, and argued for unification of Europe in authoritarian pan-European empire for its liberation from outer forces, which would open the door to fulfilment of its historical mission.Yockey actively supported many far-right causes around the world and remains one of the seminal influences of many white nationalist and New Right movements. Yockey was a staunch advocate of antisemitism, and expressed a reverence for German Nazism, and a general affinity for fascist causes. Yockey contacted or worked with the Nazi-aligned Silver Shirts and the German-American Bund. After the defeat of the Axis in World War II, Yockey became even more active in neo-Fascist causes.
Yockey believed that the United States was an engine of liberalism, controlled by Zionist Jews. He saw late Stalinist purges as an anti-Jewish struggle within Soviet leadership, and advocated for pragmatic alliance with Russia, seeing it as an only obstacle to the domination of the entire earth by Jewish-American hegemony. Yockey also met Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, and wrote anti-Zionist propaganda on behalf of the Egyptian government, seeing the pan-Arab nationalist movement as another ally to challenge "the Jewish-American power". While in prison for falsified passports, he was visited by fellow American far-right politician Willis Carto, who ultimately became the chief advocate and publisher of Yockey's writings.
