The ceremonies observed across the Western world to memorialize the fallen warriors of the past are powerful exercises. They are imbued with memory, meaning, and grief. Our ancestors fought because of their honor and sense of duty, as well as for their countries, families, friends, neighbors, and a whole host of other, more mundane reasons. (more…)

René Guénon was born on November 15, 1886. Along with Julius Evola, Guénon was one of the leading figures in the Traditionalist school, which has deeply influenced my own outlook and the metapolitical mission and editorial agenda of Counter-Currents Publishing and North American New Right. (For a sense of my differences with Guénon, see my lecture on “Vico and the New Right.”)

When I found out that there was a 1975 Nazi-themed blaxploitation — or perhaps a black-themed Nazisploitation — movie called The Black Gestapo about a militant black organization that patterns itself after the SS, I knew I was going to watch it. You can’t make a movie called The Black Gestapo and expect me not to watch it. I’m glad I did, because it is a funny little time capsule piece that ties together various strains of 1970s pop culture fascinations. For one, it mixes elements of multiple genres of exploitation films. (more…)

They never stopped marching, as I like to say. Hardly were German soldiers out of uniform in 1945 than they were marching again — only this time across cinema screens. It certainly cannot be claimed that German post-war film productions did not deal with recent history. The Trümmerfilme, or “rubble films,” a (thankfully!) short-lived genre that I personally admire very much, tell raw stories of their time amidst real ruins and real losses. In 1955 the first of many film adaptations about the July 20 plot, aka the Stauffenberg plot, premiered; at the time it was still a topic of some debate in Germany. (more…)

Jordan Peterson was asked by journalist Camilla Tominey about his views on multiculturalism during a recent exclusive interview with GB News, Britain’s nominally Right-leaning news station. In a refreshingly scathing tirade, the Canadian public intellectual branded the idea of mixing incongruous population groups together as “a miracle of stupidity,” correctly making the link between diversity of cultures and the potential within multicultural societies for civil conflict.

There is a vast gap between MAGA populism and the “radical” Right. Despite the fact that we have common enemies and are both supposedly nationalist, this gap only seems to be growing.
This was recently highlighted by the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who was endorsed by Donald Trump and hysterically attacked as “Christo-fascist” by the media. But Mike Johnson has an adoptive black son, worships Saint Fentanyl Floyd, and made sending even more aid to Israel his first priority. Christo-fascist? More like Judeo-Bolshevik. (more…)

After Mob of Blacks Beats His Son to Death, White Father Insists It Was “Not a Race Thing”
On November 1 a “huge swarm of bullies,” nearly all of whom appear to have been black, surrounded a 17-year-old boy named Jonathan Lewis and beat him so badly that he died from his injuries a week later. The deadly beating happened across the street from Rancho High School in Las Vegas, Nevada.
At around 2:05 PM on November 1, police found Lewis bleeding from the head. He was taken to University Medical Center but died on November 8 “after doctors made several attempts to save his life.” (more…)

Tommy Robinson’s Armistice Day rally has come and gone. Fortunately, it was not as bad as I and a lot of people feared — but it was bad enough.
To recap, after a successful 100,000-person pro-Palestine protest in London in October, the organizers scheduled another, even larger protest for November 11. (more…)

Greg Johnson welcomed Endeavour (Substack, Telegram, YouTube), Horus, Millennial Woes (official website), and Pox Populi (Telegram, YouTube) to last weekend’s broadcast of Counter-Currents Radio to discuss the sudden return of Tommy Robinson to Twitter/X and his counter-demonstration against pro-Palestinian protesters in London on Saturday, as well as other issues. It is now available for download and online listening. (more…)

A strong sense of victimhood might not come naturally to the majority of whites in the West, but if they wish to compete politically with non-whites as the demographic winds keep blowing against them, it had better start coming naturally — and soon. Victimhood, however, should never be mistaken for victim status. The former is the perfectly moral and rational understanding that at any given point in history one’s people could be attacked, subjugated, decimated, or even destroyed by outgroup members. (more…)

Jim Goad has produced a short video to accompany his latest essay, “Never Give Guns to Girls Who Never Grew Up,” on Audrey Hale, the mass shooter in Nashville last March who was alleged to have been a transsexual, and what some recently-published notes by Hale reveal about her actual motivations.
