  • New York Times: Lincoln Broke Our Constitution: Then He Remade It

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 2nd 2021 4:50pm EDT

    I agree with Noah Feldman. The Confederates were right. New York Times: “Who created the Constitution we have today? As a law professor, I’ve always thought the best answer was “the framers”: James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and the other delegates who attended the Philadelphia convention in the summer of 1787. The Constitution they drafted has […]

  • DEBATE REVIEW: Trent Horn Vs Jay Dyer on Natural Theology – Fr Dcn, Orthodox Shahada, David

    Jay Dyer - Oct 31st 2021 1:15pm EDT

    Today we will be reviewing the Trent Horn debate over natural theology. I will try to get to the other half of my note cards I didn’t get to explain as well as showing how the Trinity and the theophanic view of the natural order is precluded in Thomistic natural theology. We will go deeper […]

  • Debate: Trent Horn Vs. Jay Dyer: Should Christians Accept Natural Theology?

    Jay Dyer - Oct 26th 2021 2:44pm EDT

    “The purpose of Intellectual Conservatism is to defend the true, good and beautiful things of life that are jeopardized in mainstream academia and society. On this page, you will find artwork, music, satire, academic papers, lectures and my own projects defending the duty of conserving these true, good and beautiful things.” This debate will center […]

  • WEIRD B Horror Movies! The Brood, Spellbinder, 18th Angel & Parents!

    Jay Dyer - Oct 23rd 2021 6:50pm EDT

    Continuing Spooktober, we dug out some gems related to Halloween: a choice selection of Cronenberg’s The Brood, a rare Rachel Leigh Cook premier in 18th Angel, Spellbinder (a B version of Eyes Wide Shut), and a Jamie classic, Parents starring Mr. Quaid about eating people. These are gems in the cavernous abyss of bad horror […]

  • Squid Game EXPLAINED & Nightmare on Elm Street! Spooktober! Jay & Jamie

    Jay Dyer - Oct 20th 2021 11:50am EDT

     Tonight we cover the much-requested Squid Game series from Netflix, its meaning and symbolism, the deeper components of economics and social order and elitism, as well as the propaganda elements, and my reaction and review to the first three Nightmare on Elm Streets, which I had never seen (except for part 1). This is […]

  • Republicans Will Always Be The Stupid Party

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 19th 2021 6:11pm EDT

    I’ve never met Brion McClanahan. My old friend Bill Cawthon always spoke very highly of him though. For all our differences, I have a lot more in common with McClanahan than Matt Heimbach or Richard Spencer. This rant about the new Bret Baier book and conservative liberalism is ground that I have covered a thousand […]

  • Guelzo’s Robert E. Lee

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 14th 2021 12:27pm EDT

    Brion McClanahan makes a good point here. The Confederacy never had its own Declaration of Independence. There wasn’t any need for one for two reasons. First, the original version only acknowledged the fact that the American colonies were already effectively independent states. Virginia’s royal governor Lord Dunmore had fled the state on June 8, 1775 […]

  • No Time to Die: The Meaning and Death of James Bond (Half)

    Jay Dyer - Oct 13th 2021 4:18pm EDT

     Wed night we will cover to the meaning and symbolism of 007: the propaganda, the evolution of the series, the intelligence background with Fleming and others, the symbolism and esoteric elements, including films we have yet to cover like On Her Majesty’s Secret Service with Lazenby, and more. The second half will be live […]

  • Demonic Delusion: The Dark Side, Fear & Self-Deception – Jay Dyer (Half)

    Jay Dyer - Oct 11th 2021 1:54pm EDT

     Today I want to discuss the dark truths around the notions of delusion and self-deception. How is it possible to deceive ourselves? Do demons play a role in this process? What about drugz and the use of hallucinog3ns to achieve access to other realms, dimensions and illumination? Is there a progress into a demonic […]

  • The Identity Question III

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 9th 2021 10:07am EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. Why do we live in a time of such staggering racial and cultural decline? I’ve heard all kinds of answers over the years. I have spent decades researching the subject to satisfy my own curiosity. When I first came across the pro-White sphere back in 2001, the […]

  • Why Pick a Fight With The Jaffaites?

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 7th 2021 11:17am EDT

    I’m obviously part of the “radical right.” I’m just a Southern populist and nationalist though. I don’t have these views because I have read Nietzsche, Spengler, Yockey or Evola. I’ve read John C. Calhoun and George Fitzhugh. Brion McClanahan is correct about Michael Anton, Harry Jaffa, the West Coast Straussians and Northern conservatism. Once you […]

  • National Review: No, We’re Not More Divided Than We Were During the Civil War

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 7th 2021 9:10am EDT

    This is a strange position. Obviously, Americans in 2021 are bitterly divided over far more things than the Union and the Confederacy was in 1861. There is far less common ground than there was then. National Review: “I have been an admirer of the Claremont Institute. The California-based think tank, founded in 1979, has in […]

  • TAC: Arendt, Racism, & The Death Of The West

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 6th 2021 12:20pm EDT

    Rod Dreher is clinging to his foolish delusions about the dear Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement this morning. TAC: “What Arendt is saying is that if we start to think of each other primarily in terms of race, not our common humanity, we doom ourselves. This is why, in my […]

  • The Identity Question II

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 6th 2021 8:59am EDT

    I’ve already explained why I disagree with the anti-Christian White Nationalists and the antiracist Christians. We live in a time that is uniquely dominated by the cult of “antiracism” and this has clouded the views of both of those groups. We are living through a distinct phase of Western history. This malaise and self hatred […]

  • The Christian Question II

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 4th 2021 9:13am EDT

    I don’t agree with the anti-Christian White Nationalists. If you were an archaeologist from the distant future and you were trying to understand the collapse of Western civilization, the idea that Christianity is inherently opposed to White identity or White people would strike you as strange. The material record would show otherwise. The bones of […]

  • Russia: First Official Royal Wedding in Over a Century Takes Place in Saint Petersburg

    Daily Stormer - Oct 3rd 2021 2:45pm EDT

    I have always pushed back against the notion among American right-wingers that Russia is some kind of right-wing white nationalist paradise. In fact, the country has a whole lot of problems, particularly regarding sluts, and just a general incapacity to push back against the Western globo-homo agenda. In particular, I think it is ridiculous that […]

  • The Christian Question

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 3rd 2021 11:28am EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. The true purpose of Matthew Rose’s book is to create a caricature of the “Radical Right” and argue that the “Radical Right” is reactionary and anti-Christian and because of this it is “anti-Semitic. In this respect, there is plenty of material to work with because it is […]

  • After Liberalism: George Bancroft and American Liberalism

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 2nd 2021 6:06pm EDT

    I’m just now discovering this. It figures though that Paul Gottfried would have already come across the importance of George Bancroft in the history of American liberalism. This excerpt comes from Paul Gottfried’s book After Liberalism: Mass Democracy in the Managerial State. “While Tocqueville and Guizot underlined the link between American democracy and America’s decentralized […]

  • After Liberalism and American History

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 2nd 2021 11:12am EDT

    I’m already having a good laugh reading through Matthew Rose’s new book After Liberalism: Philosophers of the Radical Right. “We are living in a postliberal moment. After three decades of dominance, liberalism is losing its hold on Western minds. Its most serious challenge does not come from regimes in China, Russia, or Central Europe, whose […]

  • The Bulwark: Harry Jaffa Was a Subversive Jew

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 30th 2021 2:21pm EDT

    Duly noted. For those who are unaware, Harry Jaffa was a highly influential figure in the conservative movement. He was like the guru of the Claremont Institute which is one of its leading institutions. There were people like Michael Anton who served in the Trump administration who were highly impressed with him who don’t see […]

  • The Secret Destiny of America – Manly P Hall Analysis & Critique – Jay Dyer (Half)

    Jay Dyer - Sep 28th 2021 1:10pm EDT

    Jamie gives up a book report on her latest read – the well known classic text from mason Manly P Hall which gives the US a secret, force of “democracy’ destiny with an esoteric twist. Learn how Atlantis and Plato’s Republic form the basis for the sacred religion of democracy and its revolutionary faith underlie […]

    Now watching.

  • Charles Kupchan: Isolationism

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 18th 2021 12:52pm EDT

    As I explained in a previous post, foreign policy was one of the top reasons that I voted for Donald Trump in 2016. It was also the reason why I broke with him so early on in his administration. At the time, “America First” sounded like a breath of fresh air. The fact that Donald […]
