Jacobin: How The Democrats Became The Party of the Suburbs
Occidental Dissent - Mar 27th 2021 8:57pm EDTI’m curious about this too. Why is Joe Biden being compared to FDR? The Democratic Party of 2021 has become what used to be the Republican Party. NY Mag: “One source of leftwing pessimism about Biden’s prospects for mounting a “transformational” presidency is the objective political and economic weakness of the American working class. When […]

The New Old East
Occidental Dissent - Mar 27th 2021 11:44am EDTThere is something familiar about the rise of woke supremacy. We’ve seen moral panics like this many times across American history erupting in the Eastern states which have produced generations of millenarian lunatics, utopian dreamers, fanatics, zealots and religious hypocrites bent on imposing conformity and trampling on the rights of everyone else who lives in […]

Andrew Jackson’s Populist Revolution
Occidental Dissent - Mar 21st 2021 12:33pm EDTEditor’s Note: This is a work in progress. I don’t know what the terms “far right” or “fascism” means these days. These terms are thrown around in the corporate media and seem to apply to any American who is a social conservative, especially those who are economic populists, who do not embrace their values of […]
The COVID Class War Heats Up
Occidental Dissent - Mar 18th 2021 12:51pm EDTMichael Lind is always a delight to read. He is from Texas. He is an economic progressive. He also reflexively writes from a historical perspective like I do. This is a great take on what is going on with contemporary progressivism, the lockdowns which devastated the economy and the realignment of the two parties. Tablet […]

Occidental Dissent - Mar 12th 2021 8:09pm ESTThe new banner features Gerald L.K. Smith, Father Charles Coughlin and Dr. Francis Townsend who carried on the fight against FDR, Wall Street and the Jewish warmongers after Huey Long’s assassination in 1935.

Church, Papacy, Schism: The Bizarre Metaphysics of the Papacy – Jay Dyer
Jay Dyer - Mar 10th 2021 3:46pm EST Today we will look at a classic work that critiques the papacy from a different vantage point. In an atmosphere of debate that is dominated by throwing outdated, debunked and forgery-based arguments back and forth: Dr. Sherrard’s book is an excellent philosophical critique of the papacy, or more properly philosophical theology. Although we […]
Serial Killers, The Occult & Mind Control – Pt. 1 Jay Dyer (Half)
Jay Dyer - Mar 10th 2021 3:46pm EST Is there more at work in many of the famous serial killer cases? Could some of them be connected in new ways? What about their military background and training? What about Vietnam and the wartime period programs? Could there be an esoteric and occult angle that links them to secret groups, assassins, and networks? […]
Richard Dawkins Vs. William Lane Craig Debate Review – Jay Dyer
Jay Dyer - Mar 10th 2021 3:46pm EST The next best debate to review we haven’t covered yet includes the infamous Richard Dawkins – who has been curiously overlooked in our series. Time to rectify that with this popular debate from a decade ago, which also includes cameos of other atheists and so called apologists in what looks like a UFC version […]
Neoliberal Joe’s Slow Start
Occidental Dissent - Feb 24th 2021 10:34pm ESTI like the FDR comparison. FDR collaborated with white supremacy. FDR was elected president four times while Joe had to be carried through the Democratic primaries by Jim Clyburn. FDR had the support of the Solid South. Joe has a 50/50 Senate ruled by Joe Manchin. FDR realigned the electorate in a way that strengthened […]
Jacobin: The Politics of a Second Gilded Age
Occidental Dissent - Feb 18th 2021 1:40pm ESTThis is an excellent article. I’ve been thinking along the same lines. There came a point when the parallels with the bitterness and emptiness of Gilded Age politics because so blindingly obvious that it became impossible to ignore. In the last two months, we have witnessed 1.) soaring support for wealth redistribution in the polls, […]
Arrogant Coastal Elites Have Lost Their Power To Define The “Mainstream”
Occidental Dissent - Feb 15th 2021 12:23am ESTNew: by rejecting consequences for Trump for the #CapitolRiots & welcoming #MarjorieTaylorGreene into their caucus Congressional Rs are crystalizing an ominous question: Has the extremist wing of the GOP coalition grown too big for the party to confront?https://t.co/JyATDSSXsc— Ronald Brownstein (@RonBrownstein) February 14, 2021 “Ah, my friends, we say not one word against those who […]

William Jennings Bryan: Flag of an Empire
Occidental Dissent - Feb 11th 2021 7:09pm ESTEditor Note: When you read a speech like this, it makes you realize how far this country has fallen from what it used to be.

The Second New Deal: FDR Turns Populist to Stop the Rise of Huey Long
Occidental Dissent - Feb 10th 2021 10:00am ESTHuey Long was the populist that progressives like to pretend FDR was as president. Even to this day, they run on watered down versions of his ideas.
William Jennings Bryan and His Populist Campaign
Occidental Dissent - Feb 9th 2021 6:49pm ESTPopulism began the fourth party system. We’re currently in the seventh party system.
Huey Long: Evangeline Speech
Occidental Dissent - Feb 6th 2021 11:45am ESTWhy are we reviving interest in Huey Long? Donald Trump was the first demagogue to be elected president. American history is full of colorful demagogues though especially in the South. Trump basically maintained the status quo and made his supporters feel patriotic while feeding them a diet of empty performance art and conspiracies to keep […]
Huey Long: High Finance Speech
Occidental Dissent - Feb 3rd 2021 11:06am ESTI get irritated when Bernie Sanders is compared to Huey Long. Woke Bernie blew his chance to win the 2020 Democratic primary by trying to appeal to Elizabeth Warren wine track voters. He was too scared to run on Universal Basic Income. He never proposed anything nearly as radical as a wealth cap to crush […]
Thirties Nostalgia
Occidental Dissent - Jan 31st 2021 8:52pm ESTWe spent several months last year on the 1920s. I’ve been enjoying continuing my research into the 1930s. It has been interesting reading about Huey Long and Father Coughlin. We haven’t seen their style of politics in our lifetimes.
