Nelson Mandela:
un autre faux dieu

Kerry Bolton

2,563 words

English original here

Le nom de Mandela ne peut être prononcé par les journalistes de radio et de télévision autrement qu’avec la plus grande révérence. Je me rappelle que lorsqu’ il était sorti de prison, les présentatrices de radio ne pouvaient difficilement retenir des larmes de joie. Il a depuis longtemps été dépeint comme un dieu. Alors que j’écris cet article, j’écoute les informations télévisées qui nous informent que sa condition se dégrade en faisant invariablement référence au fait qu’il ait apporté « la liberté à la nation arc-en-ciel ».

The White Man’s Burden, 2013

William Solniger

291 words

French translation here

With thanks to Rudyard Kipling’s original

Take up the White Man’s burden —
Send forth the best ye breed
To heathen lands and peoples,
And spread the gospel creed:
The holy writ of Freedom
For each bodily demand,
The Human Rights liturgy,
And the Market’s ghostly hand.

Living in Truth: A Yuletide Homily

Jef Costello

471px-Champaigne_Philippe_de_-_Saint_Augustin_-_1645-1650

Philippe de Champaigne, “Saint Augustin,” 1645-1650

2,587 words

The key problem of our age is disconnection from truth. This takes several distinct forms. The first, and most obvious, is the prevalence of lies. As everyone knows, modern, western civilization is founded upon lies about human nature, culture, and history. The most significant of these – underlying, in one form of another, most of the rest – is the equality lie; the myth of human equality, which is the chief myth of our age. (“Myth,” as most of my readers know, can have a positive or a negative connotation, as there are salutary myths; here, obviously, I am using the term in its purely negative sense.) Read more …

The Psychology of Conversion

Greg Johnson

William Blake, “The Conversion of Saul”

2,101 words

Translations: Estonian, French, Polish

How do we convert people to White Nationalism? To answer that question, we have to ask ourselves how we were converted, then do the same for others. The most natural method of conversion is to share the information that converted us: information on biological race differences, the problems of diversity, systematic anti-white discrimination and vilification, the peril of whites being demographically swamped by fast-breeding non-whites, and the role of the organized Jewish community in creating this situation and preventing our people from solving these problems.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Trevor Lynch

576 words

I was hoping that the first installment of The Hobbit trilogy would be merely a Phantom Menace moment, and that Peter Jackson would produce leaner, tighter sequels that would pull this ill-conceived trilogy out of the crapper. But no. I am saddened to report that The Desolation of Smaug is freighted with the same problems as the first movie, and more.
