  • House Votes To Curb Trump’s War Powers

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 10th 2020 3:35pm EST

    The War Powers Resolution is an infringement on the president’s constitutional powers as Commander in Chief.https://t.co/eCUVnpN5aF— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) January 10, 2020 At the end of the day, this House vote is meaningless when it comes to President @realDonaldTrump ‘s ability to protect the nation and only serves as an inducement for Iran and other […]

  • A Real Economic Meltdown: The End of Roman Britain

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 9th 2020 1:25pm EST

    Could there be a collapse of a civilization? It sounds slightly ridiculous to even type the words. Everyone knows how pointless it is to sit around and wait for the collapse. Liberals also know that civilization only progresses and history goes straight forward. Civilization has collapsed before though. In the span of a generation from […]

  • England Is Old, Very Old

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 9th 2020 1:04pm EST

    Alabama is 200 years old. My paternal ancestor came here from North Carolina around 1840. Even here in the Alabama Black Belt, the landscape is unrecognizable from what it was a century ago when the wild turkey and whitetail deer had been driven to extinction and this whole area which is now heavily forested was […]

  • The Martyrdom of King Edmund

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 8th 2020 9:51pm EST

    How would the modern barbarian defeat the mainstream conservative? The scourging and decapitation of Edmund the Martyr would be unnecessary. All it would take is to call them a mean name to get them to surrender their country.

  • Sen. Rand Paul and Sen. Mike Lee Back Democrats War Powers Resolution

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 8th 2020 8:50pm EST

    .@SenMikeLee: “It is not acceptable for officials within the executive branch of government…to come in and tell us that we can’t debate and discuss the appropriateness of military intervention against Iran. It’s un-American. It’s unconstitutional.” pic.twitter.com/4rSmXqgUzV— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) January 8, 2020 What is worse? The fact that Donald Trump lured Soleimani to Iraq to assassinate […]

  • Gov. Bill Lee Gives An Impassioned Defense Of Continuing Refugee Resettlement In Tennessee

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 8th 2020 8:09pm EST

    Gov. Bill Lee of Tennessee, our 2019 Traitor of the Year, is being heavily criticized for his controversial decision to continue to support refugee resettlement. Tennessean: “Continuing to face pushback for his recent decision to allow refugees to resettle in Tennessee, Gov. Bill Lee offered an impassioned explanation Tuesday about the federal initiative while facing scrutiny in front […]

  • Richard Spencer on The Trump-Iran Escalation

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 8th 2020 7:18pm EST

    Editor’s Note: While Trump has backed off a war with Iran for now (this is an election year), there is no reason to believe he won’t eventually blunder into one in a second term or even before. Now watching:

  • Sen. Tom Cotton Accuses The Quincy Institute of Anti-Semitism

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 8th 2020 6:43pm EST

    As I’ve said all along, if Iran wants to start a fight, the United States will end it. I suspect that Iran’s weak attacks on sand dunes at two of our bases in Iraq are a signal that the fight ended when we killed Qassem Soleimani, and that the mullahs are running scared.— Tom Cotton […]

  • Donald Trump Postpones The Iran War For Now

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 8th 2020 12:18pm EST

    The good news is that Donald Trump has chosen not to escalate with a retaliatory strike on Iran after last night’s attack and that the downward spiral into a war with Iran has been stopped for now. We can all breathe a sigh of relief that no one died in last night’s attack on U.S. […]

  • The Iran War Begins

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 7th 2020 6:39pm EST

    Reports say Iran is firing dozens of missiles into Iraq, hitting U.S. forces at Al Asad Airbase. Early reports say 20 U.S. troops have died, amid 60+ missile strikes so far. If true, then we are at the precipice of another horrible war in the Middle East.— Mark Hughes (@markhughesfilms) January 7, 2020 BREAKING: Iran’s […]

  • Donald Trump Retreats From Targeting Iranian Cultural Sites

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 7th 2020 5:07pm EST

    I was horrified by this. It is bad enough that Trump is going absolutely out of his way to try to start a war with Iran after promising to end our existing wars simply to spite his predecessor. It is bad enough that he is trying to create a problem – Shiite terrorist attacks on […]

  • An Empire Without Heroes

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 7th 2020 4:05pm EST

    I agree with Morgoth. The American Empire doesn’t have any unifying national heroes like Qasem Soleimani that the Iranians could assassinate in retaliation. A generation of neoliberalism has eroded and fragmented our common culture. The closest thing to an American hero would be a Hollywood actor like Tom Hanks or Clint Eastwood but these seems […]

  • Dozens Dead In Iran After Stampede During Qasem Soleimani’s Funeral

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 7th 2020 1:24pm EST

    Amazing this needs to be said, but since too many in American media aren’t saying it…Iran is not a free country. Images you’re seeing of Iranians “mourning” terrorist Soleimani are likely coerced. This is a regime that murders its own people regularly.Beware of propaganda.— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) January 6, 2020 This is what happens when […]

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 6th 2020 10:17pm EST

    The Orange Buffoon has lost control of the situation and has set us on a course to war with Iran because he wanted to look tougher than Obama during Benghazi. New York Times: “In the tense hours following the American killing of a top Iranian military commander, the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made […]
