The New Christendom Press is under fire after a vendor at their recent “The War on Normal” conference was discovered promoting an assortment of racist, pornographic, and Nazi-sympathizing resources at the event.
The conference, which featured speakers Stephen Wolfe, Brian Sauve, Eric Conn, Adam Madden, and Andrew Isker, sought to help folks properly frame the world we’re living in and how to fight for sanity, decency, piety, family, country, and ultimately ‘normal.’
By all accounts, it was well attended, with over 1,000 guests, including many with young families eager to hear them speak on the timely and prescient topic.
The event also featured picnics, singles mixers, games of strength, family day for the kids, and other fun activities.
One vendor, however, has consumed the narrative.
Antelope Hills Publishing‘s mission is to “ensure history, culture, and revolutionary ideas will be preserved in the written word and made easily accessible, fairly priced, and professionally published.”
By their confession, most of the team are “Christians of various denominations.”
They explain that “The best refutation of historical revisionists is a clear statement of primary accounts – fighting the battle for minds from the printed page, instead of locked away in secret hard drives and foreign languages.”
Antelope Hill can be found nestled in the second section of the ‘Sponsor Village.’
Most of the books they offer on their website focus on Germany and the Third Reich, including Hitler’s collected speeches, reflections by SS soldiers, and related materials National Socialism, such as these bundles:
Naturally, several of these books were available at their table at the conference, raising eyebrows:
While Antelope Hill maintains it is simply curating and preserving history, without ideological bent, the fact that one of the men manning the booth claims to be an avowed Nazi likely won’t help much with suspicious perceptions.
Here they are, in their own words, describing their time at the conference: “can I get a ‘White Power!?’
However, it was the “Thank you for shopping Pro-White” pamphlet on the table that drew the most attention.
Within these ‘Pro-White’ companies being promoted, a pattern emerged.
One of the aforementioned companies is Folktrove, who are dedicated to promoting and preserving Third Position ideology. Their website features a “Heroes” collection that includes avowed racists, Klansmen, white supremacists, and Nazis.
“Heroes”
The links on their site are not particularly varied, but still hyper-focused.
Another group promoted in the flyer is Man’s World magazine. Focusing on subjects appealing to the average pagan male, these magazines routinely include pornography and pictures of near-nude and fully naked women. The same proclivity for explicit content carries over to their X feed, which is filthy.
Brave White Books also received a mention. They are an “Anglo-Saxon veteran-owned business” that was founded last year after their founder was “terminated from his former career over his pro-White activism.” The activism in question:
Their mission plays on the White Supremacist’s famous 14 words We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,” by declaring “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for the truth. Our books are here to help.”
Accordingly, they have “carefully selected thousands of trustworthy books that reveal suppressed truths and otherwise awaken our people to the reality we’ve been indoctrinated against recognizing: Race does matter!”
They get points for honesty.
Another site featured is the CosmoTheist church, which is some strange amalgamation of paganism and science. Here, God’s true words are not the bible, but “mathematics, physics, and genetics.”
As one can imagine, their store is filled with more of the same.
Lastly, and there are plenty more on that list, is the food company PepperCave. Describing themselves as “professional anti-Semites” and “pro-White sauces,” they sell various seasonings and dry goods with a very telling twist.
First, there is the cornbread, with a very distinctive design/shape on top, near a hand-man with a very recognizable mustache.
They also have very unique merch, such as a bottle opener shaped like the doors at Auschwitz.
Then there is their ‘Zyklon’ gas spice blend, named after the chemicals used to gas Jews at the aforementioned Auschwitz.
At this point a theme is emerging, aided by a certain logo plastered throughout.
Truly, what a charming fellow.
Antelope Hill later explained more about the pamphlet.
“It is what it is”
While organizers have been relatively silent about the brouhaha and criticism of Antelope Hill’s presence at the event, intending to say more in the coming days, Eric Conn has shared a few reflections as a general caution, but not as an official response.
Conn’s latter accusation is likely referring to Eli McGowan, who initially called attention to it these books.
Some attendees, like Zachary Garris, pointed out that it would be unfair for participants to have their faith questioned or be smeared as supportive of this pro-white messaging, given the godliness and Christlike zeal many at the conference had. For this reason he hopes for a response that will clear up and contextualize the invite and seeming sponsorship.
In terms of Q&A that we believe need clarification, we’d posit a few pertinent ones regarding the timeline of events:
- What familiarity did New Christendom Press have with Antelope Hills before they were given a booth and access to hundreds of people? What was known of them and was there a preexisting relationship?
- The banner lists them among the ‘sponsors’ of the event. In what way were they a sponsor?
- How extensive was the vetting of their products, beliefs, values and associations? On what criteria are vendors approved or rejected?
- Once Antelope Hills laid out their wares on their tables, did any of the organizers say anything to them or confront them about their products and pamphlets? Did any organizer go and check out what they were selling?
- How many days did they have their booth set up, and was it allowed to remain the entire weekend?
- Does New Christendom Press distance themselves from Antelope Hills, or do they intend to defend their decision, and if so, on what grounds?
Hopefully, it will all be made clear.
Update: the folks at NCP have release a response, sharing
In the video, they admit fault in not properly screening all the vendors, while also downplaying their culpability and responsibility. They also don’t seem to recognize, or exhibit, any lack of discernment. A group that publishes almost exclusively pro-Nazi content and propaganda, even if labeled “for research and preservation purposes,” should always receive much closer scrutiny, especially when one considers the kind of wares they’re bringing. These folks don’t seem to have given it a second thought.
In conclusion, Protestia publisher David Morrill writes:
Where is the fear of the Lord among God’s people?
Christians choose endorsed Christian events run by churches and pastors because they trust that the event will be a *sanctuary* from false teaching/ideology. They trust that the shepherds are actively protecting in the spirit of “having no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness” (Eph. 5:11) and not “sharing in their wicked work” (2 John 10-11).
They should not be expected to “eat the meat and spit out the bones” within any Christ-claiming context, for any reason, including common cultural causes (this is the basis on which wokesters make nice with the left, BTW). Scripture has explicit instructions/guidance on how we are to engage with the brethren, the lost, and false brethren. It does not have a category for “lost but potentially helpful for building Christendom,” nor does it allow us to engage in the same associational compromise that the left practices, so long as whoever it is is deemed sufficiently on “our side” in our cultural project.
God builds his kingdom by His expressed methods, and his chosen people have an explicit, assigned role. And this role does not include partnership under the name of Christ with “they have some things right” promoters of explicitly pagan and/or unbiblical false ideological movements.
In terms of the necessity of keeping overtly Nazi publishing outfits out of Christian conferences, most of the critics of @New_Christendom, especially after @Eric_Conn and @Brian_Sauve‘s response podcast, are coming after them on the basis of their political positions being too right-wing/separatist/fundamentalist/patriarchal/masculine/etc.
Yet biblically speaking, the reproach of Christ’s Name that this issue represents is caused by them not being fundamentalist/separatist/patriarchal/masculine enough, and the leaven of allowing paganism and Darwinian racialism at a Christian event is something God’s undershepherds should respond to in sackcloth and ashes, not deflection, obfuscation, and justification.

lol. What a bold move condemning Hitler while using the moniker “Staff Writer.” Stunning. Brave, even.
Long article. I guess we write the most about what we’re the most passionate about.
It’s confusing to me that Protestia will weigh in with opinions on every other article on the site but this one.
What is Protestia’s view of Nazis and White Boy Summer? Feel free to email me at the email I submitted to be able to leave this comment.
