  • The History of the Mafia Proves the New W0rld 0rder

    Jay Dyer - Mar 11th 2021 6:52pm EST

    Following up on the mafia and organized crime series, Jay Dyer hosts the 4th hour of the hAlex J0nes Show and links the structure of the mafia to the power elite/shadow government.  Learning one gives insight into the other – we cover wartime activities and profits, JFK, RFK and Momo, as well as the assassination.

  • 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  In an atmosphere of debate that is dominated by throwing outdated, debunked and forgery-based arguments back and forth: Dr.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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • H.L. Mencken, Nietzsche and the Culture War

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 11th 2020 5:48pm EDT

    Modernism arrived in the United States in the 1910s. The culture war between Moderns and Victorians began in the 1920s. If we were to go back to the 1920s, we would find that H.L. Mencken was unquestionably the single most important figure in defining the culture war. Who inspired H.L. Mencken’s culture war? The following […]

  • The Young Intellectuals and Nietzsche

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 28th 2020 10:54am EDT

    I’ve been getting some pushback against my argument that Friedrich Nietzsche had a major formative impact on the people who created modern American liberalism. The hallmark of modern liberalism is social liberalism or cultural liberalism. It is left-libertarian. It is driven by the transgressive impulse to tear down cultural norms. It is an aesthetic form […]

  • Is Nietzsche The Answer?

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 14th 2020 1:27am EDT

    This is an excellent video. Nietzsche is not the answer to our problems. I don’t say this as a Christian or as someone who dislikes Nietzsche. When I was in college, I read Nietzsche and was deeply influenced by him. I’m still a Nietzschean in the sense that I have always been interested in how […]

  • Nietzsche’s Insanity, Oscar Wilde’s Aestheticism and Modernism

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 8th 2020 4:44pm EDT

    When did the Modern age begin? There is no real precise moment that separates the Romantic or Victorian age from the Modern age and it varies from country to country, but the moment that Friedrich Nietzsche went insane and became Dionysus isn’t far off. The 1890s were a cultural turning point in European history. The […]

  • Heralds of Modernism

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 31st 2020 4:26pm EDT

    In this article, we are going to look at the proto-Moderns who lived in the late 19th century and whose work had an enormous impact on shaping the intellectual landscape and culture of the 20th century. The proto-Moderns were not necessarily Modernists themselves, but they were the forerunners or precursors of it. They pushed Western […]

  • The Revolt of the Elites

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 30th 2020 10:27pm EDT

    Why do our cosmopolitan elites hate their own people? There are two popular theories in our circles that explain this phenomena. The first theory holds that it is the result of a Jewish culture of critique. The second theory holds that liberalism has degenerated our culture. While there is a great deal of truth to […]

  • Enemies of Enlightenment

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 9th 2020 9:39am EDT

    I’m continuing to enjoy these lectures. In the last article, I speculated about how at the end of every great age of Western history two different types of radicals emerge. There are the status quo fanatics who combust the current social order by taking it to a ludicrous extreme and there are reactive creative deviants. […]

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 28th 2020 6:43pm EDT

    Damon Linker thinks conservatives are drifting toward authoritarianism. The Week: “The conservative intelligentsia keeps returning to authoritarianism.Back in June of last year, I wrote a column about how the intellectual right was talking itself into tearing down American democracy. The occasion was a debate between David French, a social-conservative defender of the right to religious freedom […]

  • The Tory Tradition

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 14th 2020 9:02pm EDT

    I’ve long hated the word “conservative.” I have never identified with mainstream conservatism in the United States. More recently, I have started using the term “conservative liberal” to describe these people in order to better contrast them with my own worldview. I’m a natural conservative but not in the same sense as those people. I […]

Yes, I have healthy Old English Tory sympathies which used to be present in the Old South, being brought here by way of Colonial Virginia, Barbados, Colonial South Carolina, etc. pic.twitter.com/uJyiNUehwc— […]

  • Southern History Series: George Fitzhugh on The Conservative Principle

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 8th 2020 11:38pm EDT

    The following excerpt comes from George Fitzhugh’s essay “The Conservative Principle; or, Social Evils and Their Remedies” which appeared in the April 1857 edition of DeBow’s Review. “Society requires “reversed action.” All its chords are unstrung; they must be screwed up to greater tensity. Visionary schismatics and speculative philosophers seized upon the reformation, and have […]
