GAME REVIEW: Video game promotes 'Ethnic Cleansing'

(U-WIRE) ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Attempting to capitalize on the vast popularity of computer video games -- especially among youth -- various special interest groups are coming up with games that promote their mode of thinking.

"Ethnic Cleansing," is one such game, released by the white-power record label Resistance Records in conjunction with The National Alliance, a white-power organization. Advertised on their Web site, www.resistance.com, as the "most politically incorrect video game ever made," the game transforms racially-motivated violence into entertainment.

The premise of "Ethnic Cleansing" is that gangs of so-called 'sub-humans' controlled by people of Jewish decent have destroyed a city. The player is then called upon by the formerly great-white nation to seize back power with lethal force.

The game is conducted in the first-person mode with the player having the option of acting as a militant skinhead or a Ku Klux Klan member adorned in white robes.

The player wanders around a highly detailed environment modeled after New York City and lays waste to whatever minority is standing in the way

Built into the environment is a white-power soundtrack along with advertisements for The National Alliance.

The first level is largely filled with blacks and Hispanics. When the Hispanics are shot, they yell out, "Aye, Carumba!" and when they die they sigh, "I'll take a siesta now!"

When blacks are killed, sounds of screeching monkeys and apes are heard. After you kill the boss of the first level, you move to the subway to hunt the minorities' Jewish masters.

Plans for world domination are seen in the subway, along with a map of problem areas in the United States and a sign reading "Diversity, It's Good for Jews."

When people of Jewish decent are killed they let out an "Oy Vey!" that echoes through the subway. At the end, the leader of the Jewish people, found in the "Lair of the Beast," turns out to Ariel Sharon, who hurls such insults as "Oy Vey! Can you shoot no better than that?"

When the player eventually vanquishes Sharon he coughs out "Filthy white dog! You have destroyed thousands of years of planning!"

Resistance Records describes "Ethnic Cleansing" as "the first in a series," followed by the forthcoming, "Turner Diaries: The Game." The "Turner Diaries," an apocalyptic white-power novel, describes a white underground resistance army that destroys the U.S. government and takes control of the world. Among others, the book is believed to have inspired Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. Both "Ethnic Cleansing" and the "Turner Diaries" were created by William Pierce.

"It's a violent game... But it's not atypical of video games generally, which tend to involve a lot of combat situations, a lot of shooting," Pierce said in an article appearing in The Diamondback on May 7.

The game is available on CD-ROM, mailed from Resistance Records, or can be bought directly off the Web.

"The goal is, with most of the things we do with Resistance Records, is not necessarily to earn a profit," said Billy Roper, National Alliance Deputy Membership Coordinator. "Our primary goal is to get our message out there... to young white people who, for the most part, have been alienated by a culture that denies them a sense of identity, denies them a sense of culture."

Editor's Note: The Daily Lobo does not endorse either "Ethnic Cleansing" the video game, or any of the values promoted within. It is important to inform the reader of some of the alarmingly successful propaganda being passed off as common entertainment.

:eek: I am SPEECHLESS!:eek:

No, I'm MAD!:mad:

Disgusting. Just when you think that things can't get much worse...:mad:

Sometimes stuff like this makes you question that whole 1st amendment thing..

My thoughts on this.......
 

While I do not agree with the game period, one could look at it in a different way.

Look at it this way-- The killing of any human being on the basis of discrimination because of gender,religon,color,sexual preference or any of the like is unacceptable. However, assuming few people actually beat the game, the struggle for such a cause would be futile in todays America. People would not stand for it. With that said it's kinda like reverse Psychology, the rascists people playing the game think they are "cleansing" the nation but ultimately loose until their tired of playing, thus making their cause pointless. We, the educated people, can say their loss is inevitable, while the white honkies say "There's too many of them." It's something that has went on for thousands of years.

OK, maybe it is impossible in today's America for a massive white racist uprising to start some major ethnic cleansing (and I say MAYBE) but it's not impossible for a few jerk racists to kill one black guy or a few Jews or those Asian kids down the street - and that's the kind of impact that game could easily have.

I'd also like to add............


Rascism ( prejudice ) is something that has to be implemented into an individuals life. One does not come into this world born to hate members of the opposite color/sex. It is accquired. The hatred for another race must be tought by ones peers (parents,teachers,family members, friends). With that said, you have to be very careful with rascists people because they've come to be like that from those close to them. This means you are fighting an uphill battle from the start. So in essence it's not their fault but yet at the same time it is. Everyone has the power to change but change is hard for the rascist person. This is because most rascist people like things "the old way" thus stating they don't like change. This is has been termed as "being hard headded". Whether you are white,black or asian it doesn't matter. Someone is rascist because someone else has made them that way. It is our job to delicately change their thought pattern.

That may very well be true. However, if you truely think the game has that much of an impact on people to where they do that, then one can easily say that the car games on PS2 can lead individuals to carelessly drive into other people vehicles and think nothings wrong with it because they did it on the game. Should we then ban every movie/game that shows any type of violence for fear that it might cause someone to actually do those things?


The fact is this-

There will always be crazy people out there who do crazy things. The parents,lawyers and politicians of today then blame things such as video games and movies for "making" these indivduals commit these acts. If someone is surrounded by rascism or other acts of violence then it is reasonable to believe that they think it's alright and see nothing wrong with it. However, as I said earlier, someone had to allow them to watch those movies and play those games. If their an adult, someone has to be teaching them. Those sorts of things do not come with you into this world.

*Note*----This is the same for Homosexuality......

People are not BORN GAY!

So.... Gay people are crazy and they turned out that way because they saw gay culture around them and thought that was the right way to behave. According to you all they really needed was a better role model????

Correct me if I'm misinterpreting you.

I never said gay people were crazy because they were gay. I said there will always be crazy people who do crazy things, no matter what color/sex/sex pref they are.

I am saying they are that way because of their role models/teachers/friends or something has happened to them that made them that way.

For example: If a little boy has never had a male figure around in his life as a fatherly figuer,or the like, then as he grows up he will carry some of the characteristics of his mother or whatever female figuer raised him. In our society one can be considered gay for having such characteristics when one is male. This does NOT mean the person is actually GAY but is it not a reasonable theory to think that if a male is raised and surrounded by females and is constantly doing females things and seeing things from a female point of view that he might begin to "wonder" about things or try to "expirement" inorder to "find" himself? Every women knows that a male child needs some sort of a male role model to take after and learn things only a man can teach a boy.

I know of one family with two boys where this is exactly what happened. Dad was never around and a horrible role model when he was. One son is gay, the other isn't but could be described as slightly effiminate.
Conversely, I know of a dozen other cases where this kind of story isn't the slightest bit relevant. I'd kind of like to know what you're basing this theory on.

You may not think that it's relevant but no one knows what thoughts run through the minds of others. The "other" situations may be one of those scenarios where they could be BI-sexual or actually are gay....they just haven't came out of the closet.


You don't know what goes on in anyones head other than your own.
