My Experience At The Greg Bovino Rally

I am a native Hoosier of Indiana — born and raised here in the cornlands of the Midwest. My father’s family is from Texas, my mother’s family is partly Midwestern and Appalachian, but I was raised here in Indiana and have come to love the wide open skies and simple farm towns. However, Indiana has drastically changed over the course of my life. The cities have been filled with blacks my whole life, but they have gotten noticeably worse and more violent. The towns are increasingly becoming poorer, more diverse, and less agrarian. Places like Carmel, Zionsville, and Noblesville which were once incredibly White and elitist, are now becoming centers for mass migration. Fishers and Westfield were rural farming communities when I was a little kid, and now they are overtaken with sprawling neighborhoods with higher populations than medieval villages, all supplied by rows of strip malls and corporate franchises. The Sikhs in particular have been acting up, holding protests and demonstrations in favor of their little Khalistan project. There are also tons of Indian and Pakistani trucking fraud going on, to the point that the entire industry has been corrupted by their influence. Tyler Oliveira, save us!

There is no group representing conservative resistance to this in our state house except for Save Heritage Indiana1. They are basically an anti-immigration lobby with strong traditionalist and Christian foundations, but with a sensible bent towards race realism and nationalism. They have done good work in my state already, lobbying for laws to help curtail some of the issues with mass immigration. When I first heard of Save Heritage Indiana, they had just released an interview with our Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith. Although I am not a personal fan of Micah, I liked what I was hearing from the Save Heritage guys, so I followed them on X and sniped at them for a little while, picking at what I thought was a more Civic Nationalist and Christian Nationalist lukewarm milquetoast message. However, I came into contact with some of their members and leaders which changed my mind on them, mollifying my views and deciding to support them. They have garnered attention from good nationalists abroad2, and therefore they have garnered my attention.

Gregory Bovino, former Commander-at-Large of Border Patrol, is not actually running for President (I was mistaken about this website, it was made to encourage him to run and to gauge interest3). Still, he has plans to do 100 pro-deportation rallies in America and he kick started his rallies here in Indiana with Save Heritage Indiana (SHI) hosting the event. This article will cover my experience at the event. Enjoy!

I won’t go into too much detail here, but I will say that the venue was very nice, the food was great, and the atmosphere was electric. The people who attended were various bigwigs from different nationalist organizations, ranging from podcasters, muckrakers, the Old Glory Club, Return To The Land, Patriot Front, Active Clubs, along with representatives from local politics and more normal conservative organizations such as the Young Republicans. It was interesting watching Greg Bovino interact with the local leader for Patriot Front, along with the interactions between older generations of conservatives with more identarian youth activists. I was definitely the only pagan in attendance, and probably one of the younger men in the group. Everyone was very friendly to me despite some differences of belief and approach, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that many conservatives are grappling with the very questions we nationalists have already answered. It felt edifying to realize that our issues aren’t being ignored, and that we haven’t been closed off to these sorts of events. Liberals make it their entire life’s effort to shut down nationalists and pagans, and here were conservatives and Christians letting little ol’ Aodhan into their midst.

Save Heritage Indiana has created a solid platform that is ultimately a single-issue lobby, but they appeal to more than just anti-migration pro-deportation activists. They have a platform that can appeal to regular conservatives, Christians, and libertarians — but they have enough room in their coalition to appeal to nationalists, identarians, and more stalwart activists from the youth scene. Israel, globalism, communism, and other such tawdry things were a topic of conversation, but the main point of conversation was heritage. What does it mean to be an American? What can Hoosiers do to save our state from mass migration? How can Americans approach our situation with more tact and skill than previous generations? These questions were answered in a number of ways, and each answer I received was astute. MAGA may have failed, and America First may have no wind in its sails, but the mass-deportation coalition that is growing has the capacity to gather disparate groups and individuals towards a common cause.

I should note: Greg Bovino commands respect. He is a short man, but his character overshadows the character of the attendees. He has a certain level of drive and confidence that lacks the sort of ego that usually comes with such confidence. Whether this comes from his time in the political world as an outsider, or from his time leading veritable armies of law enforcement, I do not know — but I should make special note that he lacks the sort of ego that one would expect from a guy with his reach and experience. He made a great leader in law enforcement, and would make a great leader in the political realm if he chose to continue down that path. We will have to see what he does in the future. I wish him nothing but the best. The man was quite humble and erudite.

The event was originally going to be held in Fishers, Indiana. Fishers used to be farming country, but in my lifetime it has become a cesspit of development and foreign migrants. When the local liberals heard that the dreaded Bovino was going to be coming to Fishers, they organized a counter-protest that netted around 1.5k people. However, the venue that was going to host the rally cancelled on SHI at the last minute, and they were forced to make changes. Hilariously, the guys at SHI tricked the liberals into thinking that the event was going to be held at a public library in Greenfield, when it was actually held in a totally different part of the state. Regardless of this cunning move by SHI, the protestors succeeded in being a nuisance and forcing some last minute changes. Watch the video I’ve linked from X, it is hilarious. Some dude(?) showed up in a skull mask to counter-protest them, and Patriot Front put pro-deportation stickers up along their marching route. The protest was filled with what one should expect: fat boomers, White liberals, the odd brown person, and, I’m not even joking, a guy wearing a Spiderman costume.

So, the event got moved to an undisclosed location while the protestors were sent on a wild goose hunt. The new venue was in a tent outside, and it was raining pretty bad that day, so it was quite muddy. There was food and wine, along with various banners holding pro-White nationalistic quotes from various Founding Fathers and American politicians such as Pat Buchanan. Despite the wet and miserable conditions, everyone possessed a friendly and high energy attitude, and there was much networking and encouraging connections made between various individuals. The event was definitely a success, despite local liberals sperging about it online. The event only sold 150 tickets as per its policy, and the vast majority of those 150 people were in attendance. The event may have been smaller than the protest, but the quality of the people involved, along with the decorum and courage of the attendees, showed vast differences between the two — the protest was filled with fat suburban moms, while the event was a carefully selected group of farmers, businessmen, activists, journalists, and politicians. There were also far more young men at the event than at the protest, which just underscores the divide between the modern left and right.

There will be a documentary released about the event sometime in the future. I will likely make a Note and share to you all when it comes out. The first order of business was a prayer to supplicate to the Christian god and seek his assistance in our national struggle. I did not join with them in this prayer. The first speaker was our host, who gave a very rousing but odd speech about Christian virtue and how that relates to our struggle against immigration. I did not particularly enjoy this speech, but my younger brother who attended the event with me is a devout Christian, and I could tell that this greatly appealed to his sensibilities. Regardless of the strong Christian and civnat overtones, the overall attitude of the attendees was obvious — America is a White nation, founded on European and Christian values and virtues, and foreigners rarely assimilate and should therefore be removed from our country. Victory is not given; it is taken with force.

They played a video showing old pictures and footage from Indiana prior to mass liberalization and migration, and it was a very moving piece of film. Then, they cycled between a few SHI speakers. After this, they had their pre-recorded video messages from various politicians and activists. This ranged from Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith and Attorney General Todd Rikita. I won’t lie, even though I am glad they lent their support this this event, their words were not particularly encouraging. They are sitting politicians who could make this issue their entire platform and rally many young men to their cause, but they don’t actually do this. They have done some good things, but they mostly sit on their asses and don’t create the very coalition that this event represented. It took SHI to create that coalition. Regardless of my personal ire at their milquetoast words, they spoke well and were well-received by the audience. Lastly, Martin Sellner and Rupert Lowe gave words of encouragement and support from their respective movements. I cannot describe to you how awesome it was to have them mention my state and our struggle in their European accents. Hoosier supremacy truly knows no bounds.

Next came a muckraker journalist who talked about his experiences crossing the border with migrant trains and investigating liberal NGOs who support mass migration. Finally, Greg Bovino got up and gave his speech about his experiences in Border Patrol, his experience in the nationalist movement, what he saw in Europe, and the differences in the struggle between the older conservatives and the younger nationalists. He also spoke at length about what this struggle means and what sort of virtues we will need to find victory when facing our enemies. It was obvious that everyone knew work needed to be done, and that we are in a state of war, even if most people still think that war is one of ideas — it is not just one of ideas, but one of people groups, races, tribes, and nations. As Bovino said: “Our backs are against the wall,” and he couldn’t be more correct. We can only hope that our race will go down swinging, if we must go down at all.

The final order of business was a rousing call to action by Daniel Poynter, the founder of SHI. I also attended the after-party where I got to know Daniel Poynter a little better, and I was impressed by his approach to our issues. He is incredibly level-headed and approachable, appealing to both the civnat and the true nationalist, to Christian and pagan, to businessman and activist alike. He said nothing at all that bothered me, despite some of the words from others who attended the event. Daniel is a solid man who does his due diligence when it comes to studying the movement and how he best fits into our populist big-tent. I also got into a bit of religious debate with some Presbyterians about whether or not paganism is demonic, and whether or not Europeans are Japhethites. This just cemented into my mind the reality that our folk should not bother ourselves with too many religious debates — they rarely bring forth harvest-able fruit. Our folk should not be bogged down with religious squabbles. We have bigger fish to fry!

I am going to continue supporting Save Heritage Indiana. Their founder Daniel Poynter is a compassionate and brave man who rectified his liberal worldview so that he might help our nation resist mass migration. He is a prime example of a guy who went through the red-pill gauntlet and came out on the other side stronger and better than before. He has my support because he is a good leader. The board of Save Heritage Indiana is made up of solid men, even if I may have some religious and political disagreements with them. They have a solid approach as it pertains to lobbying for our shared interests.

Greg Bovino may not be running for President, but he should seriously consider running on a pro-White platform. This man is courageous, stalwart, and calm in the face of adversity. The event was fun and enjoyable. I highly suggest that when Greg Bovino comes to your state, that you lend him your support. I know that he will be joining as a speaker at this years AmRen conference held by Jared Taylor.

I hope to see you there!
