    Elizabeth Warren shows off her mixed-race grandchildren 3,033 words I was happy to see the high amount of activity on my last article on the future of the white demographic in the USA.

    1,815 words Murray the Hegelian Part 2 of 2 Part 1 here With the early successes of Earth First! came the envious spite typical of the doctrinaire Left — who, despite their constant denunciations of ugly noxious screeds are themselves often quite guilty on that score.

    Robinson Jeffers, January 10, 1887–January 20, 1962274 words Robinson Jeffers was born on January 10, 1887. Once regarded as one of the greatest American poets, Jeffers is largely forgotten by the literary establishment today, no doubt because of his politically incorrect subjects and views. A Nietzschean who was accused of fascist sympathies (which he denied), […]

    Counter Currents - Jan 9th 2020 6:56am EST

    3,330 words Part 1 of 2 While its current champions would have us believe that political ecology is the exclusive domain of the Left, and often fret about the specter of entryism by racists and crypto-fascists into their struggle for world liberation, a cursory glance at the history of ecological thought reveals the opposite to […]

    2,058 words Tito Perdue The Node Charleston, W.V.: Nine-Banded Books, 2011 The Node is Tito Perdue’s debut in speculative science fiction. It is a tour de force of postmodern storytelling, examining the extremes of white fragility and resilience, apathy and defiance through the travels of an unnamed narrator: “Our boy.” Unlike anything you can find […]

    2,340 words David Ryan George Orwell on Screen Jefferson, N.C.: McFarland & Company, 2018 This book took me down a rabbit hole when I discovered it last June.

  • The Iran Opportunity

    Counter Currents - Jan 7th 2020 8:52am EST

    1,275 words I’d like to say that the assassination of Qassem Soleimani isn’t the end of the world, but it’s too soon to say, because World Wars have started with similar provocations. It is, however, safe to say that Donald Trump has made his dumbest foreign policy decision yet, for the same reason he made […]

    Counter Currents - Jan 6th 2020 3:05am EST

    1,594 words A new year, a new war? Last week, a US airstrike killed Iran’s most revered military leader, Qassem Soleimani.

His assassination will upend the Middle East. Iranians mourn his […]

    Francisco Franco 3,530 words The most clear-cut war between the political Right and the political Left took place in Spain in a horrible spasm of violence which lasted from July 17, 1936 to April 1, 1939.

    488 words “I am in fact a Hobbit.”—J. R. R. Tolkien John Ronald Reuel Tolkien is a favorite author of New Left “hippies” and New Right nationalists, and for pretty much the same reasons.

    1,821 words Recently, the New York Times’s former book reviewer Michiko Kakutani treated us to a 3,000-word summary of everything that’s wrong with American life and politics, entitled “The End of Normal” (December 29, 2019). At least, the column is attributed to Ms. Kakutani, and carries her byline. Actually this farrago of nonsense looks like […]

    1,289 words When I left the theater after watching the Safdie brother’s film Uncut Gems, I wanted to take a shower to get all the sleaze off of me. In many ways this is a revolting picture, yet still educational and somewhat red-pilling if approached from the proper mindset. Along with starring NBA basketball star […]
