After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, its former Arab territories were divided up by the French and the British into various treaty states, most of them monarchies. The borders, ruling families, and continued existence of these countries depended largely on the British Empire until its post-World War II sunset. Now they depend on the American empire. (more…)

You’ve seen the term floating around in our circles: “cultured thug.” It gets thrown at guys who lift, read Evola, and aren’t afraid to throw hands. But most people stop at the surface gym bros with a book collection.

The cultured thug isn’t a meme or a fashion statement. It’s a deliberate archetype for the modern nationalist warrior. He builds the body of a fighter and the mind of a strategist. (more…)

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts is the equivalent to America’s Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Both organizations perform the same ceremonial functions in handing out their respective awards, the BAFTAs and the Oscars, although their overall duties have increased this century. When race moves center-stage, as it has in the movie business, a lot of people have a lot more work to do, and not just making movies. (more…)

The Surprising Liberation
Sydney: Alfadex Books, 2025

Who ultimately runs the world? That depends on who you ask. But one thing is clear; someone does. Even if we can’t look into the inner chambers of power and see who is working the levers, we can at least agree that there is power. Someone is exercising it, and they are probably not doing so for our good. That there exists such power is provable by its effects; By his works shall ye know him, and those works are many. (more…)

St. Patrick’s Day is near, the international celebration of all it means to be Irish. But what, precisely, does it mean to be Irish today? To not actually be Irish at all, if you can possibly help it—particularly not in terms of the nation’s once-dominant religion.

It is not so long ago that “Auld Ireland” was the most traditionalist Catholic nation in Western Europe, but that is no longer the case. (more…)

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres

2,016 words

From Reuters, February 4, 2026:

GENEVA/WASHINGTON …  U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is sounding the alarm on U.N. finances, warning that the world body is at risk of “imminent financial collapse” due to unpaid fees and a budget rule that forces it to return unspent funds. Guterres has repeatedly spoken about the U.N.’s worsening liquidity crisis but this was his starkest warning yet, and it came as the United States, its main contributor – and debtor – is retreating from multilateralism on numerous fronts.

Like the institution of the United Nations he represents, the Secretary-General looks to be old, tired, bloated, enervated and hopeless—a man who has largely given up and is going through the motions. (more…)
