If there ever was a wrong choice of director for a movie, it was David Lean in his 1984 adaptation of EM Forster’s 1924 novel A Passage to India. By no means does this make A Passage to India a bad movie. In many respects it is a better movie than the novel is a novel. Lean applies his characteristic vision and vastness of scope to the story of interracial friendship within the British Raj, and the result is a pure delight for the eyes. (more…)

In the United States, discussions surrounding gifted education seem to have progressed beyond mere reform and into a phase of reduction. For instance, during his time in office, Bill de Blasio instructed New York City’s public elementary schools to stop using standardized testing for gifted programs. This action dismantled a long-established system for recognizing highly capable students at an early age. More recently, Zohran Mamdani has proposed completely getting rid of gifted and talented programs for kindergarten students. (more…)

The Lost Opportunity for the Trump Administration
Like many of you, I have been pleasantly surprised at the great strides that the Trump Administration has been making on the domestic policy front. It’s obvious to me that there are many solid people working for the president who understands what is at stake and are indeed eager to use federal power to crush the Left and advance the interests of Trump’s white voter base in concrete ways. I’m grateful for the things that they have accomplished. (more…)

On Tuesday, April 21st, a Grand Jury in Montgomery, Alabama indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit money laundering based on FBI and IRS investigations. (See press release here.)
According to the indictment, between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly paid more than $3 million to people affiliated with such Right-wing groups as: (more…)

In early April, a young Londoner called Finbar Sullivan was pointlessly stabbed to death in the suburb of Primrose Hill, allegedly by a pair of non-whites called Oliuwadamilola Ogunyankinnu and Khalid Abdulqadir, whose very names evoke the final faint moans of a dying alphabet. Unlike his reported attackers, Finbar Sullivan came from a well-off, well-adjusted, upper-middle-class white family: his grandfather was a Hollywood cinematographer on movies like Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Elsewhere in London during this same time-span, it turned out the real-life Planet of the Apes had already dawned. (more…)

I was at the recent Counter-Currents event in Rome. It was an outstanding experience, very thought-provoking in many ways. When you come from a place where the first settlers arrived only 400 years ago, and 80% of the buildings where you live are less than 50 years old, and then you spend time in a 2,700-year-old city, you tend to start seeing things in a different light.

An oasis of horror in a desert of boredom. — Charles Baudelaire, epigraph to 2666
The British Prime Minister was asked during an interview to name his favorite novel, and the answer he gave was revealing. Sir Keir Starmer said he didn’t have a favorite novel. He didn’t have a favorite poem, either. This is a man who was the Director of Public Prosecutions, one of the highest appointments in the United Kingdom. I know that he had a good education because I was at school with him, although he evidently spent more time studying than I did. (more…)

Prepare, prepare the iron helm of war,
Bring forth the lots, cast in the spacious orb;
Th’ Angel of Fate turns them with mighty hands,
And casts them out upon the darken’d earth!
Prepare, prepare!

This talk was delivered at the Counter-Currents Spring Retreat in Rome on April 11th, 2026, and again at the Finnish Awakening conference near Helsinki on April 19, 2026. I want to thank my hosts and my audience at both events.
We are spending today in the company of friends, sharing ideas, fellowship, and jokes. There’s a lot of laughter. Any outside observer would say that we’re a cheerful lot. But we are gathered here because we all share a very serious belief, namely that if we do nothing, our race has no future. (more…)

I just got back from the Counter-Currents retreat in Rome. To culturally appropriate a phrase from the Civil Rights Movement, “My feets is tired, but my soul is rested” after a week of walking around the most historically significant city in the West. But we weren’t just exploring Rome’s past. We also encountered her present and future at CasaPound.
My single biggest impression was the immediacy and realism of having an “irl” (in real life) community. CasaPound has claimed numerous other physical spaces in Rome and elsewhere across Italy. (more…)
