Willis Carto has been described as a devotee of the writings of Francis Parker Yockey. Yockey promoted harsh criticism of the influence of Jews, and Hitler's German National Socialism movement and other Fascist causes. Yockey contacted or worked with the Nazi aligned German-American Bund and the National German-American Alliance. After the defeat of the Axis in the Second World War, Yockey continued to promote neo-Fascist causes. Yockey also met Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser and wrote anti-Zionist propaganda for the Egyptian government, seeing Arab nationalism as another ally to challenge "the Jewish-American power". While in prison for possessing falsified passports, he was visited by Carto who eventually became the chief advocate and publisher of Yockey's ideas. Yockey's best known book, Imperium: The Philosophy of History and Politics, was adopted by Carto as his own guiding ideology. Later, Carto would define his ideology as Jeffersonian and populist rather than National Socialist, particularly in Carto's 1982 book, Profiles in Populism. That book presented sympathetic profiles of several United States political figures including Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, Henry Ford as well as Catholic priest Father Charles Coughlin who used radio to issue antisemitic commentary support some of the policies of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

Famous quotes containing the words influences on and/or influences:

“Professors of literature, who for the most part are genteel but mediocre men, can make but a poor defense of their profession, and the professors of science, who are frequently men of great intelligence but of limited interests and education, feel a politely disguised contempt for it; and thus the study of one of the most pervasive and powerful influences on human life is traduced and neglected.”
—Yvor Winters (1900–1968)

“I am fooling only myself when I say my mother exists now only in the photograph on my bulletin board or in the outline of my hand or in the armful of memories I still hold tight. She lives on in everything I do. Her presence influenced who I was, and her absence influences who I am. Our lives are shaped as much by those who leave us as they are by those who stay. Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide.”
—Hope Edelman (20th century)
