  • Jeffrey Sachs and Philip Giraldi: The Ukraine War Is Yet Another Neocon War

    The Occidental Observer - Jul 12th 2022 12:01pm EDT

    Jeffrey Sachs in Tikkun (a liberal-left Jewish publication): The war in Ukraine is the culmination of a 30-year project of the American neoconservative movement. The Biden Administration is packed with the same neocons who championed the US wars of choice in Serbia (1999), Afghanistan (2001), Iraq (2003), Syria (2011), Libya (2011), and who did so much to […]

  • Britain saved New France from the Cajuns’ fate and Canada built Quebec

    The Occidental Observer - Jul 11th 2022 10:35am EDT

    General James Wolfe, saviour of Quebec. (Benjamin West) “It’s a question of survival for our nation,” said Quebec premier François Legault as he defended the additionally restrictive language legislation of Bill 96. “It may become a question of time before we become a Louisiana.” Anglos can’t see this and Francos won’t, but the reference should […]

  • Nuclear Buffoon: Jews Select Politicians for Compliance, Not Competence

    The Occidental Observer - Jul 10th 2022 11:00am EDT

    I was too optimistic. Far too optimistic. I should have remembered what Jonathan Swift (1667–1745) wrote centuries ago: “When a true genius appears in the world you may know him by this sign; that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.” And there was certainly a confederacy of dunces against the highly intelligent and […]

  • Latest Symptoms of a Disintegrating Nation

    The Occidental Observer - Jul 9th 2022 10:45am EDT

    To love one’s country, Edmund Burke said, one’s country ought to be lovely. It would appear that 1 in 3 Americans, more than 100 million of us, no longer see our country as truly lovely. In Stephen Vincent Benet’s “The Devil and Daniel Webster,” the tale is told that if you approached Webster’s grave and […]

  • Retraction of My Article on Jewish Influence

    The Occidental Observer - Jul 8th 2022 1:05pm EDT

    On January 1 of this year my paper “The Default Hypothesis Fails to Explain Jewish Influence” was published in the peer-reviewed Israel-based academic journal Philosophia. As I noted at the time: This is the first time I have attempted to publish an article on Jewish influence in the mainstream academic literature since The Culture of Critique was published in […]

  • What Liberals Get Wrong About the Second Amendment

    The Occidental Observer - Jul 7th 2022 10:35am EDT

    Must we really respond to the “musket” argument again? Apparently so. It’s all the rage among Democrats right now. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (Democrat) and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (Democrat) both think it’s quite brilliant to claim that, if we care what the framers of the Constitution meant, then the Second Amendment applies only to “muskets”! In The New […]

  • The Progressive/Conservative Archetype Dichotomy as It Pertains to the Dissident Right

    The Occidental Observer - Jul 7th 2022 10:25am EDT

    Any ideological movement will contain differences of opinion, on everything from practical questions such as issues of leadership and tactics, to deeper questions such as goals, telos, and points of ideology.  The so-called “Dissident Right,” to the very limited extent to which it can even be called an ideological movement, is frequently riven by all […]

  • What I Learned About Race as A Cop

    The Occidental Observer - Jul 5th 2022 10:25am EDT

    From the time I was young, I had wanted to be a police officer. I grew up watching Adam-12, Police Story, Starsky & Hutch, and other exciting television series that centered on the daily lives of cops. They were the good guys. I admired their sense of honor, their camaraderie, and their desire for justice […]

  • “The Jews — The Kings of Our Age,” by Dr. Otto Böckel

    The Occidental Observer - Jul 3rd 2022 11:10am EDT

    “The Jews — The Kings of Our Age”[1] Dr. Otto Böckel Translated by Alexander Jacob Otto Böckel (1859–1923) was a German anti-Semitic politician who was moved by the plight of the German peasants of Hesse to enter politics in 1887 as an independent member of the Reichstag. Like Eugen Dühring — who published a seminal […]

  • Honor Him — In Memory of Chris Roberts  

    The Occidental Observer - Jul 2nd 2022 11:05am EDT

    Shortly after I met him a year ago, Chris Roberts came to my house to help me write a fundraising appeal. He breezed through its 900 words before handing my laptop back. Then he gave a speech revising the entire article from memory. This spectacle had me laughing up tears. Chris is known for his […]

  • Dr. Ricardo Duchense’s Faustian Man in a Multicultural Age  

    The Occidental Observer - Jul 1st 2022 10:15am EDT

    Faustian Man in a Multicultural Age Ricardo Duchesne Arktos, 2017, 239 pages     Since at least the 1960s, American progressive public educators have made revising or eliminating accurate accounts of the scientific and cultural advancements that enabled the West to dominate the planet and replaced them with moral indictments. While some ideas may be subject to […]

  • ABORT THE MISSION! ABORT!

    The Occidental Observer - Jun 30th 2022 10:20am EDT

    I gather from the recent hysteria that the Supreme Court has just ordered all 72 million American women of childbearing age to get pregnant and carry the baby to term. This is big news, if true. I’m not at all surprised that every female journalist, activist and politician is threatening to burn down the Supreme […]

  • Aleksandr Dugin on the Alien, Substantially Jewish Elite in the U.S. and Its War Against Traditional American Individualism

    The Occidental Observer - Jun 29th 2022 12:05pm EDT

    A translated version of an article by Alexander Dugin has appeared on KATEHON, an anti-globalist, pro-Russian website. (When I tried to post a link to the article on Twitter, they said that “the link has been identified by Twitter and its partners as harmful” and blocked it.) Dugin’s article indicates that he has a solid […]

    The Occidental Observer - Jun 27th 2022 6:50pm EDT

    Martin Christopher Rojas has died unexpectedly at age 29. Jared Taylor has written a beautiful, deeply felt tribute to him. Martin wrote a very interesting account of life in rural West Virginia for TOO under one of his many pseudonyms, Christopher Martin. I met him a couple times. Great guy, and reading Jared’s obituary, one […]

  • 西洋文化をユニークにしたものは何か (“What Makes Western Culture Unique”)

    The Occidental Observer - Jun 27th 2022 2:15pm EDT

    What Makes Western Culture Unique?　翻訳 Kevin MacDonald 西洋文化をユニークにしたものは何か 原文:http://www.kevinmacdonald.net/west-toq.htm   一般に、文化のユニークさは自然由来か教育由来かのどちらかである。これは昔から変わらない二項対立である。 しかし我々は現在これらの問題について昔よりもより良く扱える立場にあり、そして自然由来説と教育由来説のどちらも重要であることを説明しようと思う。 西洋文化は、どのような生物学的/進化論的理論でも予測がつかないほどの独特の文化的変貌を経験してきたが、同時にユニークな進化の歴史もあった。 西洋文化は、世界の他の文明や文化を築いた人々とは遺伝的に異なった人々によって構築された。 西洋文化が他の伝統的文明と比較してユニークな文化的プロファイルを持つことを以下で論じる。 1. カトリック教会とキリスト教 2. 一夫一妻制の傾向 3. 核家族が基本のシンプルな家族構造の傾向 4. 結婚が両性の合意に基づいており、相互の愛情を基本にする傾向が強い 5. 拡大血縁(extended kinship relationships)とその互恵関係の重視を避け、エスノセントリズムが比較的弱い 6. 個人主義へ向かう傾向。国家に対する個人の権利、代議制政府、道徳の普遍主義化、自然科学へ向かう傾向 私のバックグラウンドは進化生物学の分野であり、性の進化論を扱った時に最初に感じた疑問の一つは、「なぜ西洋文化は一夫一妻制なのか？」だった。 性の進化論は非常にシンプルである。女性は生殖に多大な投資が必要である。妊娠、授乳、そして育児は大抵膨大な時間を要求する。 その結果、女性の生殖には厳しい制約がある。最高の条件を用意してもらっても、最大でも20人程度の子どもしか育てようがない。 しかし、男性にとっては生殖のコストは低い。結果として、男性は複数の配偶者から恩恵を得ることも可能で、富と力を持つ男性はそれを活用して可能な限り多くの配偶者を確保することも期待できる。 要約すれば、富と力を持つ男性による集中的な一夫多妻制は男性にとって最も適切な戦略であり、個々人の男性の生殖の成功にとって最も適切な振る舞いである。 この理論は十分に支持されている。世界中の伝統的な社会では、富と生殖活動の成功との間に強い関連性がある。裕福で力のある男性は非常の多数の女性をコントロールできる。 中国、インド、イスラム社会、新世界文明、古代エジプト、古代イスラエル等の世界中の全ての伝統的文明のエリート男性は、大抵数百人から数千人にもなる側室を持っていた。 サブサハラ・アフリカでは女性は一般的に男性の扶養なしで子どもを育てることができるので、結果として、男性はできるだけ多くの女性をコントロールするために競争する低レベルの一夫多妻制になった。 これらいずれの社会においても、これらの関係から産まれた子どもは合法的だった。彼らは財産を相続することができ、世間から蔑まれることもなかった。 中国の皇帝には数千人の側室がおり、モロッコのスルタンは888人の子どもを持つことでギネスブックに登録されている。 勿論、一夫一妻制が標準の社会は他にもある。生態学的に課せられた一夫一妻制と社会的に課せられた一夫一妻制とを区別することが一般的である。 一般に、生態学的に課せられた一夫一妻制は、砂漠や寒冷地等の非常に過酷な生態的条件への適応を強いられた社会で見られる。 このような過酷な条件下では、各男性の投資は一人の女性の子供達に向かわざるを得ず、更に多くの女性をコントロールすることは不可能である。 基本的考え方としては、過酷な条件下では女性は一人で子どもを育てることが不可能で、男性からの手助けが必要である。 このような条件が、進化論的に意味を成すほど長期間続いた場合には、人口は一夫一妻制に向かう強い傾向を発達させると予想できる。 実際に、一夫一妻制の傾向が強くなりすぎると、生態学的条件の変化に直面した場合でも一夫一妻制に向かう心理的・文化的傾向へとつながることが予想できる。 私はヨーロッパ人の進化で正にこのことが起きたのだと提案しており、以下で詳述する。 Richard Alexanderは”socially imposed monogamy” (SIM)[社会的に課せられた一夫一妻制]という用語で、過酷な生態的条件なしの一夫一妻制を定義した。 過酷な条件とは男性が直接子供を養育せざるを得ない条件のことを指す。それ以外の状況では、男性は自分にできる限り多数の妻を持つために競争すると予想でき、一般的にもそうなる。   西洋のユニークさの最初の例 世界の他の経済的先進地域の文化は、成功した男性による一夫多妻制が特徴であるのに対して、西洋社会には古代ギリシャ・ローマから現代にいたるまで一夫一妻制の強い傾向がある。 […]

  • A Fascist Fun-Day: Enrichment for Whites, Ethnocentrism for Jews

    The Occidental Observer - Jun 27th 2022 1:05pm EDT

    “Hideously white.” That was what a righteous White leftist called Greg Dyke called the BBC in 2001. Dyke was actually the Chief Commissar of the BBC at the time. And did he then resign in protest at his own “hideous whiteness”? Or did he vow that, henceforth, he would donate at least half of his […]

  • Comrade Krieger and the Kiev Campaign, Part 2: A Small Victory

    The Occidental Observer - Jun 25th 2022 11:15am EDT

    We pick up where we left off with Comrade Krieger and his unit making their way south during the Kiev campaign. If you want to follow the hero of our story, you can follow him on his freshly-minted Gab account. The next day, after the counter-attack that never came, we left the field because it […]

  • They’ve Learned Nothing and Forgotten Nothing

    The Occidental Observer - Jun 24th 2022 10:30am EDT

    Bill Barr, two-time attorney general and one of approximately 2.5 members of the Trump administration to leave with his reputation intact, has also written one of only two books about that administration worth reading, “One Damn Thing After Another.” I’ve read ’em all. At least partially. Most did not merit more than a quick skim. […]

  • Degas and the Jews

    The Occidental Observer - Jun 23rd 2022 11:10am EDT

    Edgar Degas: Self Portrait 1865-66 It is customary in our political circles to link cultural modernism (and its negative social consequences) to Jewish influence. While there are strong grounds for this stance, things are sometimes more complicated than this narrative would suggest. Take, for instance, the group of painters who made up the French Impressionist […]

  • The Great Russian Restoration X: A Purge in the Russian Orthodox Church

    The Occidental Observer - Jun 21st 2022 12:05pm EDT

    The Russian Orthodox Church has been affected by recent events as much as the rest of Russian society has. Now, more than ever, the Church is being asked to support the government and this has had ripple effects on church politics. The biggest story is the unceremonious demotion of Metropolitan Hilarion. Once the Russian Orthodox […]

  • Heretics and Halfwits: Furedi’s Freedom-Fighters and the Lethality of Libertarianism

    The Occidental Observer - Jun 19th 2022 11:45am EDT

    Enigmas. I’ve been beset by them recently. Last week, I added six piranhas to my big tropical-fish tank. The piranhas were going to look magnificent, sliding in a sleek silver school between the gleaming, multicolored shoals of gentle neon tetras and guppies. But I didn’t have time to watch the piranhas right then. No, I […]

  • Jews and their Long History of Hysteria and Overreach

    The Occidental Observer - Jun 17th 2022 11:40am EDT

    Jews and their Long History of Hysteria and Overreach By RockaBoatus If you’ve been around Jews for any period, you’ve likely discovered their tendency to exaggerate whatever they feel passionately about. Hyperbole seems to come easy to them. The sky is always falling. Doom is right around the corner. And, of course, it’s always directed […]

  • Dinesh’s Stupid Movie

    The Occidental Observer - Jun 16th 2022 9:40am EDT

    As much as I’m enjoying the January 6th committee’s careful assembly of evidence proving former President Trump is a douchebag, I wasn’t seeing much in the way of a criminal offense until this week’s underreported story about how Trump used his “STOP THE STEAL” fundraising appeals to grift his supporters out of $250 million, none of […]

  • Looking Over the Wall to See What a Stranger is Up To

    The Occidental Observer - Jun 15th 2022 11:06am EDT

    These days, very near the end, images from long ago pop into my head, seemingly on their own; I don’t know what prompts them, and I let them take me where they will.  A couple of days ago, it was of a moment from the mid- to late-1980s in Burlington Vermont. In another life, I […]
