3,032 words Part 1 of 15 Introduction: The Peak of the Metaphysics of German Idealism In 1936, Martin Heidegger delivered a lecture course on F. W. J. Schelling’s 1809 treatise Philosophical Investigations into the Essence of Human Freedom, which scholars often refer to simply as the Freiheitsschrift (Freedom Essay).[1] In this lecture course, one extremely […]
2,335 words Nigel Kennedy. Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons He had distinctly seen, while I was playing my variations, the devil at my elbow, directing my arm and guiding my bow. My resemblance to the devil was a proof of my origin. From the autobiography of Niccolò Paganini The Devil bowed his head because he […]
5,069 words This is the first in a series of film reviews wherein I’ll be looking at works of cinema that were made when subversion—whether of expectations, morals, facts, or source material—was not the filmmakers’ objective. The objective was simply to tell a story on celluloid. These will not be “classic” films, however. No one […]
1,265 words During his debate against that cackling multiracial Medusa named Kamala Harris and her two emotional-support moderators in my sadly demolished hometown of Philadelphia on Tuesday, Donald Trump repeatedly referred to the United States as if it were a dying organism: Our country is being lost. We’re a failing nation. I’ve never seen a […]
3,670 words Next month will mark the 25th Anniversary of the airing of a PBS Frontline documentary called The Lost Children of Rockdale, which originally aired on October 19, 1999. The documentary concerns the outbreak of syphilis among teens and even preteens as young as twelve in Rockdale County, Georgia, a suburban area east of […]
3,288 words A little while back, I took part in the Dissident Right survey. One part of it had to do with personality. This includes various quirks. A brief section asked if I had ADD, OCD, or autism. How was I to answer? Although I never got any such diagnosis, earlier I might well have […]
1,326 words Emil Cioran in interwar Romania. Before Corneliu Z. Codreanu, Romania was like a populated desert. Those living between the sky and earth had nothing else to do other than wait. Someone had to come. We were all passing through the Romanian desert, incapable of everything. Even contempt seemed too big of an effort. […]
361 words I have been writing this column, off and on, mostly on, for–dear God, can it be nearly thirty years? Yet nothing lasts forever, neither columns nor columnists, and Fred on Everything, for unexpected reasons with which I will not bore the reader, has reached its end. Columnizing is a curious trade. I suppose […]
1,813 words Pastor Dan Gayman Ishmael and Islam vs. Isaac and Christianity Schell City, Missouri: Watchman Outreach Ministries, 2002 There is nothing quite like the last few weeks of summer in North America. The stifling humidity of summer is gone, the leaves on the trees are a deep and happy shade of green, and the […]
5,345 words The northern Kingdom of Israel’s ethnonationalist prophet ends his career. “…behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.” And the wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and some of the many righteous as the stars […]
5,485 words CHAPTER 5 CRESCENT SINISTER Islam Contra Philosophy I call for an immediate ban on the movie “Gravity” as it shows Earth to be spherical, which is against the Quran, and thus insulting to Muslims. Dr. Zakir Naik Presumably, that’s why there hasn’t been an Islamic Copernicus. Dr. Naik is a thoroughly entertaining Muslim […]
1,577 words Is it just me or is there an avalanche of news stories speeding down Bioweapon Mountain these days? Every time I open my Internet browser there’s a new ailment, disease, virus, bacteria or cluster of vaccine-induced injuries causing people to keel over. It’s a bit unnerving. The conspiratorial part of me thinks that […]
1,089 words When given enough time to reflect, one can easily enough unravel most forms of sophistry. The very point of sophistry is to use false argumentation to deceive or manipulate the listener in real time, when they don’t have time to reflect and when they don’t have data at their fingertips. It’s usually easy […]
2,155 words It’s often been alleged that ever since World War II ended, Holocaustianity emerged from its ashes as the West’s official state religion. To dare suggest that human history’s bloodiest war didn’t happen exactly the way we have been commanded to think that it happened is to face the sort of social death that […]
1,565 words A revelation which I had in prison (in some ways a relatively high-strung, low-trust, violent environment) is that violence is transactional. This lesson from prison politics is especially relevant to real world politics. A transaction means two or more entities exchange items which the other side wants. When violence is in play, one […]
1,381 words On August 15, 2024, the X account “Garbage Human” posted this image, featuring two pictures, ostensibly of the same person, one before “transitioning” and after. It remains unclear if this is the case. This author ran a number of reverse image searches, both of the image and the before and “after” images in […]
2,171 words Tony Martin Race First: The Ideological and Organizational Struggles of Marcus Garvey and the United Negro Improvement Association Westport: Greenwood Press, 1976 The late nineteenth century saw a collapse of black political power and sovereignty, both in America and in Africa. Contrary to the wishes of far-sighted men such as Thomas Jefferson, James […]

2,951 words That which is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil. Friedrich Nietzsche I think I love you. So what am I so afraid of? The Partridge Family. Love and cinema go together, but there is something strange about silver-screen romance. If a movie is described as “a love story”, […]
772 words Perhaps you know the saying: Pessimists always claim to be realists. Well, in my experience, pessimism more often than not is realism. Right now, YouTube is full of conservative/right-wing videos celebrating the “victory” of Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in the state elections of Thuringia and Saxony, in which AfD won over 30% of […]
416 words The Boys in the Boat is a sports film, the true story of the eight-man crew team from the University of Washington in Seattle that won the gold medal at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The themes are athleticism, teamwork, mentorship, and the struggle for excellence, with several gripping race sequences. That is enough […]
379 words “Not all [x] are like that.” Of course that’s true, but it’s also irrelevant. Most blacks are nice people, and neither criminal nor corrupt, but virtually every majority-black city, school district, and country in the world is dangerous, decrepit, or dysfunctional. Most Arab and African migrants in Europe are decent enough, but there’s […]
1,667 words Legitimate acts of anti-black hatred and violence are so rare these days, it’s like seeing a ghost wearing disco shorts and roller-blading in the middle of the street on the bad side of town. One feels compelled to grab their smartphone and start snapping pictures, because no one would believe you otherwise. Somewhere […]
1,652 words Interwar Imperial Japan was rife with a phenomenon known as gekokujo. Gekokujo was a form of insurrection unique to the Japanese which was sparked by the ultranationalist feelings of members, often quite young, of the Imperial officer corps. What is fascinating about these idealistic young men is their passion, not to overthrow, but […]
2,264 words This the follow-up to Why Fictional Dystopias Do Not Prevent Real Ones I recall several years back, my friend and fellow YouTuber, Fritz Imperial, posted the following quote on Twitter: “The real dystopia was created by fighting fake dystopias.” The recent unrest in the United Kingdom, the subsequent crackdown, and the comparisons made with […]
