  • Some Thoughts on Yule

    Counter Currents - Dec 23rd 2020 6:15am EST

The trees are stripped of their leaves. The birds abandon us, flying off to warmer climes. Bears, badgers, chipmunks, and squirrels hibernate. Water freezes over. […]

  • Ethnic Threats & Anglo-American Civilization in Howard and Lovecraft

    Counter Currents - Dec 22nd 2020 6:45am EST

    Swamp in Sam Houston National Forest, Texas 4,025 words Both Robert E. Howard (1906-1936) and H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) were masters of the pulp horror story.

    Counter Currents - Dec 18th 2020 6:30am EST

    Gloucester Fisherman’s Memorial overlooking Gloucester Harbor, Gloucester, Massachusetts (Bronze, 1925) 5,880 words The defining characteristic of WASPs is that they are much less ethnocentric than other peoples; indeed for all practical purposes Anglo-Saxon Protestants appear to be all but completely bereft of in-group solidarity. They are therefore open to exploitation by free-riders from other, more […]

    Phil Eiger Newmann, Schumer, 2020. 1,853 words I gathered from the conversation that the owner of the name had once been a regular contributor to much more widely read conservative publications, the kind that have salaried congressional correspondents and full-service LexisNexis accounts, but that he was welcome at those august portals no longer.

    Phil Eiger Newmann, The Arena, 2020. 1,431 words Any belief, no matter how desperately well-intentioned, in the efficacy and wisdom of democracy depends on the fundamentally flawed notion that the average voter is anything loftier than an easily frightened and brainwashed lab rat.
