"Liberal Fascism" bitch fight →
A couple of years ago neocon scumbag Jonah Goldberg wrote a book called Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning which claimed to show- as the title of the book implies- the left-wing affinity/origins of fascism. This isn’t new intellectual terrain since it has been extensively covered by others such as Israeli historian Zeev...

Lost Territories, Forgotten People →
What the French people live through on a day-to-day basis is grim. Especially if they do not have the means to move to better neighborhoods…
There are 12 million of them. French salaried workers. And everything is being done to make them disappear. No one even talks about them anymore! The radical chic (“bobo”) Left even says they no longer exist. They endure discrimination. The...

The tragedy of deracination →
Were societies to be ranked on the basis of technological prowess, the Western scientific experiment, radiant and brilliants, would no doubt come out on top. But if the criteria of excellence shifted, for example to the capacity to thrive in a truly sustainable manner, with a true reverence and appreciation for the earth, the Western paradigm would fail… When we project modernity, as we...

Fragile Existence →
“Things have almost reached rock bottom. A universal spiritual death has already touched us all, and physical death will soon flare up and consume us both and our children–but as before we still smile in a cowardly way and mumble without tounges tied. But what can we do to stop it? We haven’t the strength? We have been so hopelessly dehumanized that for today’s modest ration of food we are...

Having a gay ol' time in Afghanistan! →
The study found that Pashtun men commonly have sex with other men, admire other men physically, have sexual relationships with boys and shun women both socially and sexually — yet they completely reject the label of “homosexual”… The research unit, which was attached to a Marine battalion in southern Afghanistan, acknowledged that the behavior of some Afghan men has left...

From Olive Trees to Overcapacity →
The older Spain did not aspire to wall itself off from the rest of Europe, despite the saying—usually by foreigners—that “Europe stops at the Pyrenees.” It considered itself part of a larger civilisation, with profoundly Catholic foundations. Even Franco, for all his authoritarian heavyhandedness and suppression of the regions, never doubted that the nation was anchored within and answerable to...

Welcome to the Soft Apocalypse →
By now, the apocalypse story – which goes back at least as far as the ancient Hebrews – has fractured into numerous sub-genres… Soft apocalypse is typically more dreary, more Dark Ages, more… poignant.

Not so stolen generations →
Should we Australians be ashamed of our past? For years we have been told that we should be ashamed of the treatment of the “stolen generations”. The claim is that Australian authorities forcibly removed whole generations of Aboriginal children from their parents with the racist aim of breeding out the Aboriginal population. Keith Windschuttle has written a new volume of his important...

Would we survive today? →
We are a society built on the notion that more stuff is better, that nothing is too good for us and that our own personal convenience is more important that the needs of the group. Electricity is not our only problem. We seem to have forgotten many things, as a society…
Sustainable skills – something we should all think about because one day, we just might have to fall back on the old ways...

Multi-culturalism vs. Mono-culturalism →
I naturally disagree with her point concerning North America (how about Quebec, the American South, Newfoundland?) but everything else is mostly spot on.-
Concentrated mass immigration is no good for anyone, and in lieu of creating a multi-cultural society, creates one that stands to be divided. The Can-American example is altogether unique because the culture which it references is one that is...

The Impulse →
“The point really is that the mass of mankind is miserable, not for want of the wealth taken by the capitalist class, but for want of the wealth that was never created. This wealth was never created because the capitalist class managed too wastefully and irrationally. The capitalist class, blind and greedy, grasping madly, has not only not made the best of its management, but made the worst...

Weird hobby… wouldn’t it be more effective to expose the Western “sex tourist” industry at the source?
The Grey Man, in special forces parlance, is the soldier who goes under the radar. He goes into enemy territory. He blends in. The Grey Man is also the name of a group of Australian volunteers - mainly former police and special forces - who go undercover to rescue child...

Wiesenthal, Nashi peeved at Bandera award →
The Simon Wiesenthal Center [predictably] denounced the Hero of Ukraine award Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko bestowed on Stepan Bandera last week. Bandera was a leader of Ukraine’s nationalist movement, which included an insurgent army that sided with Nazi Germany during part of World War II.
Not as predictable was the Moscow protest of the pro-Kremlin nationalist youth group Nashi...

6 Enlightened Ideas Brought to You by Evil Empires →
If history teaches us anything, it’s that it’s way harder to pick out the good guys from the bad guys than the movies would lead us to believe. In fact, some of history’s most face-blastingly savage regimes came up with some shockingly progressive innovations in health, human rights and, well, everything else.

Yockey on Corporate Election Contributions →
“A monarch could not be bought; what bribe could appeal to him? He could not be put under the usurers’ pressure — he could not be sued. But party politicians, living in times when values became increasingly money-values, could be bought. Thus democracy presented the picture of the populace under the compulsion of elections, the delegates under the compulsion of Money, and Money sitting in...

Is tech taking us to a world more medieval than modern?
Cybergangs rise and fall in varying degrees of anonymity and alliances with Russian, Chinese and other governments that are more ad hoc than understood. Norms of behavior among individuals and governments are a moving target. Crimes are not solved as much as controlled, through informal alliances of small agencies within and outside the...

H.L. Mencken summed up the situation excellently in his The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche:
… school teachers, taking them by and large, are probably the most ignorant and stupid class of men in the whole group of mental workers. Imitativeness being the dominant impulse in youth, their pupils acquire some measure of their stupidity, and the result is that the influence of the whole...

Liberal Democracy vs. Technocratic Absolutism →
Don’t really care for any of the options listed but interesting reading nonetheless-
Enlightenment philosophers were intensely conflicted about the virtues of powerful monarchies and technocratic elites versus popular democracy. Some believed an absolute state was the best form of governance. Thomas Hobbes argued that political absolutism was necessary to prevent the war of “all against...

Instead of going to either of the extremes — “I’ll do it their way” or “I’ll do it my way” at the expense of all else — just do it the reality way. That is the ultimate heresy. Idiots are idiots. Marketing does not improve products. Fast food restaurants, nail salons, record stores, head shops, convenience stores, cell phone places and charities are blight. So is producing nothing but repackaging...

In 1948, only three years after the conclusion of the WWII and in the eve of the cold war, Marshal Tito, the supreme leader of Federative People’s Republic of Yugoslavia took a sharp political turn away from hard line communism, severed his ties to Joseph Stalin and Soviet Union and ushered his country into an era of openness unparalleled in any of the communist countries which remained...

Many take the bait of cheap drinks and...

Martin Amis calls for euthanasia booths →
I think Amis is essentially correct in suggesting that “medical science had ‘overvaulted itself’ in extending human life” but out-and-out euthanasia is going a step too far, inevitably degrading human life to a mere economic/utilitarian concern. Thomas Fleming strikes the right balance here.-
Euthanasia ‘booths’ should be established on street corners for...

The Asgard is a small sailing yacht owned by Irish Nationalist Erskine Childers. It is most famous for its journey in 1914 when Erskine Childers, his wife Molly and their small crew, made the then treacherous channel crossing with a hold full of German rifles from Hamburg into Howth harbour to arm the Irish Volunteers.
