396 words This is an especially merry Christmas for Jonathan Bowden fans.

The file was on Archive.org but unplayable because it required Flash. It is now on the Jonathan Bowden Archive. Unfortunately, […]

203 words At the end of our Counter-Currents Retreats, we had a tradition of going around the room and sharing a toast and an oath. The toast was to praise something positive. The oat was to promise to one’s peers to accomplish one thing for the movement before our next gathering. Jonathan Bowden was the […]

1,087 words Charisma and creativity tend to be associated with mental instability. A detailed examination of the lives of highly eminent men by the psychiatrist Felix Post entitled “Creativity and Psychopathology” found that this was very frequently the case, especially among artists and writers. Jonathan Bowden was most famous for his scintillating public speaking and, […]

1,320 words When I published Shaman of the Radical Right: The Life and Mind of Jonathan Bowden, I genuinely didn’t expect there to be quite so much interest in it. I was mainly fascinated by Bowden’s psychology: what is the nature of someone, especially when they are manifestly eccentric, who is able inspire such a […]
1,408 words Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7 While we’ve entered the realm of online immortality,[1] let me end with some speculation on how Bowden’s shamanic methods have been absorbed, perhaps unknowingly, by the online Dissident Right, and even in the unlikeliest of places. While I was […]
1,283 words The most striking, and significant resemblance between all three is not the level of fame and influence they achieved in life, but their electronic or digital immortality: “Nothing Here Now But The Recordings.”[1] For Burroughs, Control is manifested by bits of word or image, which implant themselves in our consciousness like viruses. Cutting […]
1,239 words Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 What about film? Again, Bowden switches sides, and returns to align with Burroughs again, but not Neville. For some odd reason there’s no video of or by Neville; even the 26 episodes of his TV show went unrecorded. In Infinite Potential, Horowitz provides a […]

1,333 words Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 Like Neville’s Method, I’ve discussed the cut-up method before, and the reader will perhaps be glad that in this case as well, I won’t be going into great detail about it here.[1] I don’t think there’s any evidence that Bowden used this technique in his […]
3,722 words Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 Talk of accents reminds me of another Bowden doppelganger, William S. Burroughs. As an American from the upper-middle class strata of the Midwest, Burroughs escaped some of this kind of regional bigotry.[1] Burroughs eventually developed his own now-legendary voice, a flat, nasal sneer that really “sold” his […]
