Thomas Eugene Bowie, October, 1959 -
VP candidate for American Freedom Party (2016)
Running mate with nominee: Robert W. Whitaker (1941-2017)
Popular vote: ? (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538
The campaign:
The American Third Position Party (or A3P) was created in 2009 as a political venue for white nationalism. Historically the "third position" in 20th century Europe meant a rejection of Marxism and of mainstream traditional democracy capitalism while finding a third alternative, i.e. fascism.
The founders of the group included those with close ties to skinheads, Nazis, the KKK, Holocaust deniers, anti-Semites, League of American Patriots, and other white supremacist groups. In January 2012 the A3P nominated Merlin Miller for US President, described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as "an independent filmmaker and military veteran who has expressed dislike for interracial marriage and claimed that Hollywood is under 'Jewish-Zionist control.' He has written for the Holocaust-denying Barnes Review and the white nationalist Occidental Observer."
In Feb. 2013 the A3P changed their name to the American Freedom Party, not to be confused with Larry Brant Sargeant's Party of the same name in the 1976 election. Miller had meanwhile started his own political group, the American Eagle Party, forcing the AFP to regroup. In Mar. 2015 the AFP nominated Kenn Gividen (b. 1953) of Indiana for President and Bob Whitaker of South Carolina as his VP. They filed with the FEC the same month. Gividen had previously been active with the Libertarian Party as a state candidate and expressed white nationalist ("Of course I'm pro-White. And you should also be as well.") and revisionist history views on his website.
The nominee's website included a long list called "Kenn's Laws." Some of the more polemic samples--
Kenn's Law #1
Liberals will reduce every conversation to an accusation of white racism.
Kenn's Law #2
If liberals were logical they wouldn't be liberals.
Kenn's Law #3
Every major news story will be accompanied by at least one major conspiracy theory.
Kenn's Law #4
Each tweak made by government to improve a given policy will result in compounded flaws as the tweaks, themselves, are inherently rife with errancy and, therefore, will require manifold tweaking.
Kenn's Law #13
Whenever a white person defends him/herself against black violence, the white person will be identified as the racist aggressor and the black attacker the victim.
Kenn's Law #14
You will never meet a cult member who knows he is a cult member.
Kenn's Law #16
Urban blight follows white flight.
Kenn's Law #27
A most effective means of deprogramming minds infected with the cultural Marxism virus is exposing those minds to reality.
Kenn's Law #28
Tax hikes beget spending spikes.
Kenn's Law #29
The liberal allusion to inclusion is an illusion.
Kenn's Law #33
The only place in America where white-on-black violence is more prevalent that black-on-white violence is Hollywood, Calif.
Kenn's Law #36
Immediately after liberals accuse you of racism, they will announce the date. "Don't know know it's [year]!"
Kenn's Law #38
The concept of cultural Marxism can be condensed to one simple sentence: White people are the oppressing bourgeois and non-white people are their oppressed proletariat.
Kenn's Law #39
Most anyone can convince most anyone to hate most anyone by accusing most anyone of being a racist.
Gividen resigned as the nominee in July 2015. Whitaker was then elevated to the top spot and filed with the FEC for President under the AFP in Aug., 2015.
When he had originally been selected as the VP, Whitaker wrote--
I will campaign on White Genocide.
Kenn, our presidential nominee, knows that and agrees with it. Let’s take a moment to APPRECIATE that. Any other right splinter party like the American Party and certainly the Libertarians would scream bloody murder and get rid of me instantly ...
I now favor the vice presidential slot because the head of the ticket has to travel, which is a non-go for me, but also because Kenn’s function is entirely different from what I see as a vice presidential nominee’s: The lead man on the ticket has to make speeches and handle ALL issues. Further, I have new vision for a vice presidential nominee, or at least THIS one. The vice president is famous for having no Function. His only job, outside of keeping his heart beating in case the president fails in that function, is to preside over the Senate. But the Senate goes right on along when there is no Vice President.
The vice presidency has no FUNCTION. Instead of a FUNCTION, we will make the Vice Presidency a MESSAGE. Same ticket, two candidates – one who is willing to perform the FUNCTIONS of the Presidency, and the other a MESSAGE: END WHITE GENOCIDE.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, who called Whitaker "an aging segregationist with a history of drug abuse" pointed out that the VP nominee brought with him a cadre of loyal followers that should concern any organization charged with monitoring hate groups, and added--
Despite the bizarre reality that Gividen and Whitaker claim they will run separate campaigns, the ticket has already excited the racist right, in no small part because of Whitaker’s role in drafting The Mantra.
A 221-word attack on multiculturalism peppered with cries of "white genocide," The Mantra has grown wildly popular on the racist right, with sections appearing on banners hanging from Interstate overpasses and on billboards ...
A self-professed “genius,” Whitaker has a history in politics, though a dubious one. While he claims on his blog to have been the message man in the Reagan administration responsible for crushing communism, bringing down the Berlin Wall and saving the Hubble Space Telescope, Whitaker is closer to a hard-drinking grandfatherly Forest Gump. He once claimed to have an amphetamine habit that dropped his IQ to 100 ...
“There is not a modest bone in my body,” Whitaker wrote in 2004. “I AM a genius. I was born with one hell of a brain, and I scare our enemies because I am so smart I can laugh them to shame. I am at so high a level that a PhD or a big-time news anchor doesn’t mean a thing to me.” ...
According to Whitaker’s followers, he’s a former clandestine CIA agent and mercenary in Rhodesia who helped craft the propaganda message that ended the Soviet Union — claims for which there is no known historical record ...
The following months presented a barrage of mixed messages from the AFP about who was what in their electoral adventures.
In Oct. 2015 the AFP initiated a robocall campaign for Whitaker--
We robocall you at home because the media won’t carry our message.
Asia for the Asians, Africa for the Africans, but White countries for EVERYBODY!?
Flooding ALL & ONLY White countries with the third world overflow IS White Genocide.
Recently, Senator Jeff Sessions openly opposed flooding the U.S. with third world non-white refugees.
Bob Whitaker, the American Freedom Party’s candidate for president, LAUDS Senator Sessions for his stance, and adds that “DIVERSITY,” is chasing down the last White person.
If you support the present policy of flooding all White countries with third world non-whites, YOU are anti-WHITE.
Diversity equals White Genocide.
Join the American Freedom Party today and support Bob Whitaker for President.
Please help get Bob Whitaker on the Alabama ballot.
The AFP website released the following puzzling news release on Nov. 7, 2015--
American Freedom Party Announces Presidential Candidate Tom Bowie
Web Team | November 7, 2015 |
The American Freedom Party’s presidential candidate Bob Whitaker recently withdrew from the race and Tom Bowie has accepted the presidential nomination.
Thomas Bowie is just an average blue-collar guy who awoke to the fact that this so-called “Race Problem” was just an Anti-White Scam to promote White Genocide.
Tom was raised by his Grandparents and his Grandfather made a living as a sharecropper and eventually gained a small family farm of his own.
Tom Bowie attended vocational training while still in High School to become a florist and landscaper. However he ended up talking to a recruiter and joined the USMC at age 17 shortly after graduation.
After Military service Tom worked as a laborer in construction until he became a commercial waterman working for himself for many years.
He joined The Maryland Defense Force under the Maryland Military Department; where he used his position as an opportunity for volunteering within his community where he logged in 1,000s of hours of community activity over his years of service. He received many awards including the Maryland Commendation Metal and Meritorious Service Metal.
With the go ahead from his battalion commander 1SG Bowie formed a S.T.A.R. (State Tactical And Response) Team trained to respond rapidly and assist local and state authorities in any emergency. 1SG Bowie and S.T.A.R. Team responded to events ranging from Forest Fire, Tornado and Emergency Shelter Operations.
1SG Bowie also chartered an Explorer troop under the Boy Scouts of America Program with backing from his battalion commander, so that young Men and Women could gain skills for a possible military career while serving their community.
Later he took a job with the State of Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene as a Health and Safety Specialist and Special Police Officer.
Since becoming aware of the ongoing program of White Genocide, Tom Bowie has dedicated himself to raising awareness and opening discussions on this topic to help ensure the survival of his race, the White race.
“Tom is just the kind of candidate anti-whites who yell about the working class want to keep out of elections, said Whitaker, who has organized marches of thousands of real working people in Washington, DC.
“And like me,” says Whitaker, “Tom condemns today’s doctrine of white self-hatred and sees so-called “Diversity” for what it is, white genocide.”
The weird part is that on the same day, on Whitaker's own campaign website, the exact same news release was posted except the leading sentence read, "The American Freedom Party’s presidential candidate Bob Whitaker recently welcomed Tom Bowie as his vice presidential running mate."
The SPLC profiled Bowie at the time he became the running-mate--
Tom Bowie is the latest white nationalist running as the VP candidate for AFP. Bowie fills the void left by Bob Whitaker, who made the move to presidential candidate after an illness sidelined Ken Gividen, AFP’s original choice.
Little is known about Bowie, who certainly has a much lower profile than that of Whitaker or Gividen. Bowie is, however, a prolific poster on Stormfront, the Internet’s first hate site, founded 20 years ago by Alabama Klansman Don Black. To date, Bowie has posted over 3,100 times on it. Bowie is also an Internet radio host and can be heard weekly on the Pro-White American Radio Show hosted on TalkShoe.com, an online radio community.
Bowie’s postings and radio comments demonstrate his support of AFP’s Mantra platform. Back in 2010, in a comment on the website of the white nationalist radio show Political Cesspool, Bowie wrote, “I’ve been using the Mantra for a while now with great success. I’m not sure just how many people I said it to over time but it gives our people the hope and knowledge that we can fix things.” Five years later, Bowie’s Twitter account reads similarly. On October 14 of this year he wrote, “We're running out of places for #WhiteFlight because #Diversity is chasing down the last #White anywhere.”
In an interview in Dec. 2015, Whitaker addressed growing AFP support for Trump as the Republican candidate was attracting followers from the KKK, Nazis, white supremacists, and other factions of the far Right--
My feelings about Donald Trump, the party supports him, I mean, they don’t really—I don’t think the FP really supports me one way or the other. But I am able as—we’ve had about 300,000, I think, robocalls. We’ve gotten the message out that diversity is White Genocide. That’s what I was addressed to do. I think that Trump will do what every Republican always does. He’ll talk big right now about the United States, protecting our borders and all that stuff. Then, like all conservatives, he will get down on his knees and begin to weep about White Guilt and about how he loves everybody and the usual stuff you see Republicans grovel, like old southerners, you know, they’re all just so good at groveling. And I think he’ll end up doing that. If he doesn’t, that would—like I say these days, anybody who runs for a Republican nomination, I assume that he’s a groveler, and he gives the other side, the anti-Whites, anything they want.
William Daniel Johnson, Chairman of the AFP, financed robocalls in Jan. 2016 in Iowa in support of Trump and the AFP official website ran a graphic declaring "Donald Trump has our official endorsement." At this point you can understand why it is difficult to determine who the AFP was really backing.
A Feb. 2016 Youtube was posted interviewing Whitaker/Bowie as the AFP ticket.
In Apr. 2016, Whitaker refiled with the FEC changing his party affiliation to "none," indicating he was still in the race but not with the AFP.
Whitaker made an announcement on May 20, 2016 that he was continuing to run for President, but as an Independent and without Bowie--
The Whitaker for President Campaign is Now Independent
The Whitaker for President Campaign continues and it surges forward.
At the beginning of April, Bob Whitaker and his then VP Tom Bowie made the decision to leave the American Freedom Party (AFP) due to the fact that the party was going off message.
The AFP’s whole approach is to get media attention, any media attention, but it doesn’t matter the ineffectiveness of the media reports. They also decided to moderate the message, choosing to go with “Physical Administrative Removal of Peoples of European Extraction”, instead of our most effective and VIRAL meme to date, WHITE GENOCIDE.
But Bob and his team didn’t want to stop there, since we have achieved so much exposure to White Genocide with Bob running for President.
Bob is now running an independent campaign, with no party affiliation and no VP. Tom Bowie has decided to stay on with the AFP. He is now their presidential candidate.
With Bob still being a candidate, we get all the same candidate benefits as an independent. We still get the “Equal Access Broadcasting” rights.
So we plan to use those rights.
With donations to Bob’s campaign, we will be able to do more robocalls and reach hundreds of thousands of people with our message, while gaining considerable media attention at the same time.
With the equal access broadcasting rights, we also get radio ads for $10 per 30 seconds. These we can’t start until four months prior to the general election. Robocalls we can do now.
Bob’s campaign is far from over, and we plan to use it for as much as we can until November.
As Bob said recently “When the big news was the AFP having Jared Taylor speaking for them instead of me, MY big news was that ‘white genocide’ had just gone OFFICIALLY viral.” And, after watching the CNN show United Shades of America, which featured our billboard and people using our terms like pro-white and white genocide Bob said, “Lord, what can I say? We’re dictating the whole dialogue now.”
With your support we can continue to surge forward in exposing this anti-white system and its program of White Genocide.
Please Donate to Bob Whitaker for President 2016.
In May, 2016, Tom Bowie of Harrison, Ark. filed with the FEC for President under the American Freedom Party banner.
After that both the Whitaker and Bowie campaigns appeared to fizzle. Bowie's social media accounts of that era do not mention his candidacy. Neither one of them were registered as write-ins in any state that I can locate and no votes for them were reported on Election Day.
On Apr. 27, 2017, Whitaker launched his 2020 campaign, declaring--
Bob Whitaker launches 2020 presidential run, saying, “Trump is a FAKE president”
“A REAL president would call for the immediate defunding of any college that allows anti-white campus thugs to shut down free speech,” states 2020 Stop White Genocide presidential candidate Bob Whitaker.
Bob stated that as real president he would take these measures and many others:
1. Insist on a free and open discussion of the crime of white genocide without threats of harassment, job loss or imprisonment for the discussants.
2. Fight to restore to their former positions persons like this young lady who was fired by the Attorney General of West Virginia for publicly opposing white genocide.
3. Prosecute churches, charities, etc. that violate their tax status by engaging in political action to carry out White Genocide.
When asked if he supports actions by President Trump that may at least slow White Genocide, Whitaker replied,
“We have a fake president because we haven’t woken up Whites to their genocide so that they demand a real president.”
Bob asks us all to spread the STOP WHITE GENOCIDE message through banners, fliers (see here, here, here and here), emails, and repeating our memes everywhere we can.
Robert Whitaker died on June 3, 2017. If he and Bowie had been elected as a ticket, Bowie would have served as President for most of the term. Bowie himself apparently continued his political activity under the name of the Stop White Genocide Party, participating in events associated with anti-Gay, Christian identity, and Klan-allied groups.
Election history:
2016 - US President (American Freedom Party) - defeated
Other occupations: US Marine Corps, florist, landscaper, Health and Safety Specialist for State of Maryland Dept. of Health and Mental Hygiene, construction
Notes:
Gividen and Whitaker were both listed by Thrillist among "The Most Bizarre Presidential Candidates Running In 2016."
