1966. Two extremely scarce items from an obscure Mexican occult group called the Asamblea Unica Mundial (A.U.M.) Quetzalcoatl, Real Orden de la Serpiente Emplumada y S. S. M. del Quinto Sol (translated on the group's literature as, World's Unique Assembly Quetzalcoatl, Royal Order of the Plumed Serpent and Supreme Priesthood of the Messenger of the Fifth Sun). The group was led by an occultist and cosmologist named Jose Antonio Bautista Orozco who claimed to be the heir of the secrets of the Aztec deity Quetzalcoatl. The bulk of what we know about Bautista and the A.U.M. comes from two items offered here, a circular that reprints a profile of him published in the newspaper Ovaciones by a young journalist named Rosa Maria Campos (later a PRI politician) and a presumably one-off publication simply titled "Peace!" The newspaper profile titled, "The Messenger of Ketzalkoatl [sic] Speaks," recounts Bautista's alleged death and miraculous resurrection following a 1951 assault in which he was thrown into a… Read More

New York: Blackshirt Publishers, 1939. The fifth and final issue of The Blackshirt, the organ of the short-lived American Fascist Party founded in NYC in 1939 by Francesco Paulo Castorina (aka, Paul Castorina). The paper was billed as a "monthly Journal of Aggressive Patriotism" and featured a disclaimer at the top of each issue: "This Paper has no connection whatsoever with any Italian Organization." But Castorina clearly modeled both his organization and its paper on Italian fascism, while adopting both the emblem and the paper name of the British Union of Fascists. In NYC, the American Fascist Party was closely affiliated with the German-American Bund and the Christian Front (Castorina held membership in both organizations), and Carlson mentions seeing "The Blackshirt" at a meeting of the anti-Semitic American Nationalist Party.
