The Sistine Chapel. (Photo by Richard Mortel [CC BY])
In preparation for my first visit to Rome, I recently watched a documentary about the Sistine Chapel. It explained how the frescoes on the southern wall depict scenes from the life of Moses, while those on the northern wall show the life of Christ — all paired in deliberate, meaningful ways. On the ceiling, of course, are Michelangelo’s magnificent scenes of the Old Testament.
I watched the film not only to prepare for my trip, but also as a respite. For days I had been angry about this catastrophic war with Iran and about the stranglehold a certain group has on American foreign policy. I did not intend to dwell on these matters while viewing this film. Yet as I observed the intertwining of Old and New testaments, of Judaism and Christianity, and of Near Eastern and European traditions, my mind kept returning to our present predicament. A part of me — which I strongly resisted — found it difficult to enjoy the art, so heavy did the historical burden feel.
A question arose unbidden: How are we ever going to extricate ourselves from these people?
As a neo-pagan who sees modern Leftism as a secularization of Christian values, my first, instinctive thought was that we must dispense with Christianity. That may not require much effort, as Christianity in the West is already in steep decline. Christianity’s growth today is primarily in the Third World, driven mostly by non-whites.
Yet on the political Right we see a resurgence of interest in Christianity, championed by high-profile influencers like Tucker Carlson. These individuals completely fail to recognize the Christian roots of modern liberal individualism and egalitarianism. Tucker is a self-professed racial egalitarian, civic nationalist, and universalist — which he sees, correctly, as flowing from his Christianity.
You can buy Collin Cleary’s Summoning the Gods here.
However, even some on the racially-conscious Right advocate a return to Christianity. They fail to see what Tucker sees: that a consistent Christianity discourages racial consciousness and in-group preference. It may be paranoia to see Christianity as a Jewish virus engineered to undermine white racial consciousness, but it is easy to see why some people think that.
But what about the older, tougher, more muscular Christianity of the Crusades — the version comfortable with hierarchy and difference? Translation: What about the older, un-Christian Christianity? In those days, the civilization of Western Christendom was sustained by what remained of a pagan, pre-Christian ethos. Just as modern liberal societies long endured thanks to remnants of pre-liberal communitarianism, Western Christendom was sustained by what remained of pagan values.
When contradictions exist within a belief system, or between belief and practice, these are eventually noticed and resolved — often over centuries. Liberal societies eventually purged their pre-liberal remnants through relentless critique, leading to today’s atomization. Similarly, Christianity gradually eliminated its pagan inheritance. Hierarchy, inequality, and racial consciousness were recognized as incompatible with core Christian teachings. The result is the flaccid, gay Christianity of Pope Leo — but it is a Christianity finally made consistent with the Sermon on the Mount.
What some on the Right fail to see is that a return to “tough, muscular Christianity” in the service of white identity would inevitably repeat the same process. Serious Christians would eventually realize that their faith conflicts with White Nationalism. We would be told, once more, that all are equal in the sight of God, all men are brothers — blah blah blah. Then we’d be right back where we are today. The way forward cannot be to swallow more of the same poison that has been killing us for two millennia.
Yet a Western spiritual revival of some kind seems necessary and inevitable. Religion is a human universal, and the depression and anomie we see in the West signal a deep spiritual hunger. My own preference is for a return to paganism. Realistically, however, that seems unlikely. A Christian revival does indeed seem far more probable — and with it the same historical dynamic, whereby everything in Christianity that is deadly to life and hierarchy and racial particularism eventually reasserts itself.
But we simply do not know. Whatever emerges will almost certainly arise organically, not through deliberate planning or advocacy. There may even be a synthesis of Christian and pagan elements, ideally shedding Christianity’s most destructive aspects. It is pointless, of course, for neo-pagans to claim Christianity is alien to Europe. As this city itself demonstrates, it has been woven into the European experience for two thousand years. To be truly rooted in Europe means feeling at home not only in the Pantheon and the Colosseum, but also in the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Square.

I have an argument against this. I don’t disagree that Christianity possesses themes of egalitarianism and individualism, but it equally incorporates themes of hierarchy, conquest, good vs evil, war, peace, community, submissiveness as well as power and leadership.
As long as the world existed with a certain amount of resource scarcity, all of the non-liberal themes could be used to justify certain ethos. But then, as with everything else in modernity, a sort of “hockey stick” occurred (if you could graph all of the change in the world that has occurred up until the last century or two, it can be graphed as a fairly steady state, if only slightly upward trend, until sometime between the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution, then a sudden upward shift in every metric).
I can also see where Christianity is to blame for the changes that occurred, but I think it is mostly due to a decrease in scarcity in western countries and prosperous Asian countries. It is easier to be egalitarian when you know most of your own needs are met.
And I don’t necessarily think that it’s all bad, but I do think lack of scarcity is a fleeting blip in human history that will soon change, and I believe it is quite possible that the less egalitarian ethos of Christianity will once again be found within the pages of the Bible.
I understand that a huge appeal to Arianism for most of the early Germans was the hierarchy of Father, then Son, then Ghost for this very reason. There is an Arian Statement of Faith available on Amazon for about <= $10 if any of the Christians here are interested in it.
I think that separated powers like in the USA probably wouldn’t have existed without the equality of the Trinity post-Arianism but it seems that even the Crusader kings would devolve judgement to a “senate” of knightly council before passing final judgment themselves (per Real Crusade History on YouTube, don’t remember which video).

Christianity is Jew-spawned, Conner, and has had Europeans worshipping the mythical Jew tribal deity, Jehovah. Listen to neo-pagan Collin when he says:

Exactly!
Smart White people who care about the future of our race don’t look backward for spiritual guidance. They grasp Dr. William Pierce’s Cosmotheism for our people, going forward: Cosmotheism: Religion of the Future by William Pierce – Cosmotheism:
“Deep inside all of us, in our race-soul, there is a source of divine wisdom, of ages-old wisdom, of wisdom as old as the Universe. That is the wisdom, the truth, of Cosmotheism. It is a truth of which most of us have been largely unconscious all our lives, but which now we have the opportunity to understand clearly and precisely.”
Thus William Pierce bids men and women of European race to understand ourselves and our purpose.
Dr. William Luther Pierce’s Cosmotheism is not a revealed religion, but is instead what he called a natural religion: It rejects all of the claimed supernatural “revelations” which find their way onto shining golden plates or ancient scrolls, instead having its basis in the realities of Nature that our eyes — and the investigations of science — have confirmed. In the drama of the evolution of life from non-living matter, and of higher and more conscious beings from lower forms of life, William Pierce sees a path of purpose and destiny for us…
I wish I knew what being a pagan meant in every day life.
Perceiving the world around you as alive and filled with powers that are not material. For the Pagan, the sun is not just a celestial body radiating light, but a constant Divine presence in the world. Immanence rather than separation between “matter” and “spirit”.
I’m Catholic and we have all that too (and a whole bunch of other complexities and contradictions).
I guess I don’t see how that translates into any spiritual practice. Sounds like just being mad at the jewish aspect of Christianity. But whatever. We don’t agree and that’s fine.
You don’t have that. You’re not allowed to recognize a God-like spirit in the sun and pray to it, that would be idolatry. You are not allowed to directly interface with phenomena in nature and build a connection to the Divine through them, you must use an artificial cultural intermediary.
As for spiritual practices, Pagans understand that if the sun is literally a manifestation of Helios/Sol, then sunning yourself is a spiritual practice, particularly when made consciously. There are more fancy/elaborate practices, but this is the basis.
You sound like Jay Dyer.
Flaubert a pagan now? Rudolf Steiner? Owen Barfield? August Engelhardt?
Keats? Wordsworth? Origen? August Engelhardt? world is charged with the grandeur of God.”
Reenchanting the world (as though it needs to be) does not mean we should pretend something is not what we know it to be. We have moved on from sun worshipping. Wordsworth complained that ‘we murder to dissect,’ but it is human nature, that is, the Northern European intellect, to dissect and learn, overcome and push ahead. We invite our own destruction by our innovation and discovering, but we live, better or worse.
The current religion for the European is ultimately of technology and medicine. The vast majority know jackshit about computers, and are amazed, and scared, by AI, like it is a god. We may dislike that, preferring chapels, or the woods (I prefer both), but the average person is who should be considered when discussing religion. That is who religion was made for, and much of the pomp and ceremony of Christianity, as Santayana observed was (and is) the religion of the outsider, was a conformity, and catering to, the needs of regular people. You could not Christianise Europe with mass celibacy and a worship of death, and much of the ethics, at least in the Catholic setting, appears derivative of Aristotle.
The scientific fact of race is valuable here. I already think we have won that argument and Europe is slowly coming to accept it. Genetics has simply made this obvious, and much of the denial will slowly vanish with time. So too has technology shown what is plain to an educated man. The high definition camera may have destroyed idealised forms of beauty, revealing far too much, but it has also allowed us to see our racial others for what they are: separate entities. We should be grateful to India for being so obscene and disgusting.
As though we could be pagan or Christian after Hamlet and Faust. As TE Hulme noted, “wonder can only be the attitude of a man passing from one stage to another, it can never be a permanently fixed thing.”
Which Divine forces can you perceive other than the ones that our Bronze Age ancestors could perceive?
If the Gods are real, they are timeless.
“Wordsworth complained that ‘we murder to dissect,’ but it is human nature, that is, the Northern European intellect, to dissect and learn, overcome and push ahead.”
You’re assuming that learning/pushing ahead is more or less equal to dissecting and hence disenchanting. But what if that was simply the great tragedy of post-1500 science? What if holistic and spiritual forms of science are possible, and what if attaining true knowledge requires something more akin to a Grail Quest than a scientific investigation?
For those Christians poopooing the concept of modern paganism, it is far livelier in the Baltics than you might imagine.
With thanks to ReligionForBreakfast on YouTube (not our guy) I cite “The Silence of the Gods” by Francis Young, which describes Baltic practices being fairly isolated from Christianization during the medieval period, though there are incorporated concepts from Christianity into the regional faith practices as a response to the contact.
For just a brief summary:
“Who were the Last Pagans of Europe?”
ReligionForBreakfast
Last pagans of Europe were Lithuanians.
Interesting. I’m mostly Irish, partly Lithuanian (Celtic-Baltic). This may be why I’m a bit conflicted with my “sky-God” (h/t Gore Vidal) faith with my enjoyment of sunlight, nature (as much as I can appreciate in my city-outskirts environment)–and the occasional thunderstorm.
Sky-God is Tuerkic Tengri, by the way.
Alright, I see your point and well played.
You’re still not the child of the Israelite tribes.
Great article! What Rome means to me, it is the main headquarters of the greatest anti-white propaganda mill ever created. Rome is a cesspool of degeneracy, and evil. I hope to live long enough to see the beginnings of a religious movement (non-Christian) which will place our people on a golden path that delivers them to the Olympian heights, and secures them against all assaults for eternity. Excelsior!🙃
I have a candle, which I shall burn on April 20th. 🙃

That’s Franke Rennicke’s old song.
You are already in Rome, Collin, but might appreciate this excerpt from Angelo Plume’s impressions from a Rome visit in his C-C article a year ago: “Eternal City Blues”
[T]he mass of humanity bustling around Rome’s main train station, as such hubs in major cities are always full of people and tourists from all over the world, and for some reason are like a dung heap attracting all manner of Afro-Arab flies.
I commented under Angelo with my own impressions of Rome a year earlier, May 2023:
—
Will Williams: May 31, 2024 Very accurate assessment of Rome through White eyes, Angelo. Reading it I had a flashback to a year ago when my wife and I took a Mediterranean cruise. My impressions at the time:
…The 7-night cruise began and ended in Rome, with excursions to Monaco, where the highlight of the trip may have been a very quick spin around the famous Le Mans racetrack with our taxi driver who styled himself a race car driver; Cannes, one day prior to the big film festival where the fancy people gather; Nice, Florence, Pisa, Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona and even the Vatican where ancient White art and sculpture are worth seeing, despite all the graffiti, some of which is quite artful, but most is simply vandalism like one sees in many American cities. An overwhelming number of non-Whites were lined up to view the Vatican, and I kept conjuring up the disgusting photo I’d just seen at the top of the text version of the 6 May American Dissident Voices broadcast [“White Psychology Under Jewish Tyranny Part 3” at nationalvanguard.org] of the Pope, hunkered down, head-to-head, with a Negro boy. It was clear to me at the Vatican that the Catholic Church cares more these days about saving Black and Brown souls than of those who created the architecture, art and music of that Church.
A highlight of the trip was in Rome where we could view the ruins of the Coliseum through the Arch of Titus that commemorated Rome’s victory over the Jews. In the display of Roman victory and power one can see the Jewish Menorah carried away in the sculpted frieze on a wall of Titus’s Arch.
The most striking thing about Rome to me, besides [the muds,] the graffiti (an Italian word) and the architecture, is the subtropical, beautifully maintained landscapes, especially the conifers. The uniquely-shaped Umbrella pines (botanical name Pinus Pinea) grow to 80 feet or more in height. They’ve been around for millennia but are said to have been introduced to the area by the thousands in 1931 by Benito Mussolini — so are also known by some as the “Fascist tree.” Rome’s iconic umbrella pines are threatened now by an invasive parasitic pest, introduced from the western U.S. Thanks, Yanks! Hopefully they can be saved by the introduction of another insect that eats them. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could introduce a bug that only eats invasive human subspecies invading our living space, replacing our unique subspecies (read: race) here in our U.S. habitat?…
Whenever I read articles and comment streams like this, I am reminded of the Northwest novels of the late Harold Covington. When the White ethnostate is finally achieved, one of the central and most difficult tasks of the areligious National Socialist ruling party is to keep the Pagans and the Christians from destroying the new nation by their mutual hostility.
I agree. Religion has been the most divisive issue in at least the last 500 years of European civilization. Europeans were more culturally and religiously homogenous during the European wars of religion, so the thought of an organically-developing unifying religious tradition in the age of extreme cultural pluralism is a fantastical pipe dream. Political actors need to put religion aside, as a private identity separate from your political duty as a citizen. Religion is always going to be fractured and polarizing, the task for nationalists is to cultivate and maintain unity out of common destiny and heritage, in spite of religious differences.
Well said.
“My own preference is for a return to paganism. Realistically, however, that seems unlikely. A Christian revival does indeed seem far more probable …”
My prediction is a based New Agey UFO cult that believes in a higher power that manifests in the UFO/contactee phenomenon and can be called using something like Dr. Steven Greer’s method for initiating “peaceful E.T. contact”.
The seeds are already there – search for “Nordic Aliens”, “Pleiadeans”.
God help us.
Isn’t White Nationalism dorky enough as it is?
The dorks are the Star Trek LARPing nu atheists. New Agey UFO believers are schizo.
Both are dorky to most people.
You don’t know the subcultures enough to make accurate stereotypes. Greer is a muscular Transcendental meditation teacher. New Agers are into Yoga, meditation and esoteric self-improvement technique. Schizos are the literal opposite of nerds and are perceived as crazy, not dorky.
Christianity and Paganism are both larping at this point, but Christianity is still more healthy – even with all of its problems.
Paganism is worse. I have never seen a pagan who didn’t look or act repulsive. The women are fat, smelly feminists and the men are neckbeards. It’s not a movement WN should be associated with at all.
Attempting to switch from an institutionalized religion like christianity to some obscure pagan religion would take centuries and be nearly impossible. The quicker route would be shifting to more practical national socialist policies and slowly changing the focus from religion. Ground Europeans to themselves, their economies, security, future, not some nonsensical jewish psyop.
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
― Buckminster Fuller
National Socialism is that new model. Why do you think the jews hate it so much?
As someone who tracks how modern secular institutions are replacing traditional European structures, I found the point about Christianity’s decline and the rise of “spiritual hunger” quite sharp. Do you think the rapid expansion of the digital gambling industry in places like South America acts as a new kind of “theology of luck” for the masses, effectively filling that void with materialism? I was looking at the compliance data for operators in Peru on https://guiademeridianbetperu.com/ and noticed how heavily they emphasize “responsible gaming” — isn’t this just a secular, corporate version of the old “moral guidance” the Church used to provide, only now optimized for profit instead of the people’s well-being?
Scarcity is probably the default mode for most of human history, but then so is a life expectancy of 35 and high infant and child mortality, where you know, common diseases like the measles actually killed and crippled people.
The reason for post-scarcity is that man has learned how to master or at least adapt to his environment and to transmit a working knowledge of those skills to the next generation.
However, whenever the latest Zoomer with their execrable Smart Phone screws up my Door Dash delivery because they don’t know how to read a basic address, I seriously wonder about the youth.
Lately I have been watching an old Geezer from the Los Angeles area on YouTube who resurrects old television sets from the 1960s, the last ones that were built in the USA with any quality. Sometimes they have been totally marinated in cigarette smoke, but it is interesting how the guy thinks out loud and can troubleshoot old vacuum tube sets.
This is how I first learned electronics as a wee lad in the 1970s. My old nonagenerian shop teacher who had been a Master Sergeant in the Air Force just after WWII died last year in Idaho.
Anyway, by the beginning of the Solid State era and the Japanese invasion of quality consumer products in the early 1970s, you can see a completely different design philosophy going on which is about as foreign to anything today as it would be explaining vacuum tubes to a space alien in the 1930s.
Lee DeForest’s 1906 invention of the thermionic valve was one of the most important in human history, but it was rendered obsolete beginning in 1947 by the team (including fellow Nobel laureates Bardeen and Brattain) of the racist physicist Dr. William Shockley.
Without transistors today, there would still be many miniaturized electronic consumer devices, but they would be mostly analog and a little larger.
The Internet, which was based on microwave and landline telephone exchanges, would exist but it would be completely different. The first “Turing-complete” digital electronic computer was invented during WWII in Germany by Konrad Zuse, and used telephone relays for its logic trees. Zuse also developed one of the first computer programing languages.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Zuse
Anyway, I can remember as far back as Apollo 7 in October of 1968, the first manned space launch since the deadly launch-pad fire in January of 1967.
I watched all of the manned Apollo missions until Apollo 17, the last one in 1972, and then Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz. I even visited Mission Control in Houston, Texas and it seemed quite different in person from what we had seen on television.
I never found the Space Shuttle or the ISS to be half as interesting as the Apollo “Moonshots.” Network TV had a real dilemma making boring Mission Control stuff interesting. They would preempt all the regular network TV programing only to have befuddled talking heads killing time on camera until something newsworthy happened.
In fact, being able to piggyback a microwave feed of some grainy B&W video of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking live on the Moon on July 20, 1969 was quite a technical accomplishment ─ but it was purely a NASA afterthought.
Apollo 12 took a newly-developed miniaturized slow-scan color TV camera to the lunar surface, but when astronaut Alan Bean tried to mount it onto a stand for a better view, NASA had not thought to include a simple lens cap so the fragile image orthicon camera tube got fried in the intense sunlight of the lunar surface.
Not having any live TV is the main reason that nobody remembers Apollo 12 in November of 1969. Apollo 11 nearly had to abort its lunar landing when the rudimentary computer got overloaded with radar data and the landing was way off course. Neil Armstrong had to fly and land the Eagle by the seat of his pants and nearly ran out of fuel.
Fellow Navy pilots Conrad and Bean were proud of their Apollo 12 precision landing right next to the unmanned Surveyor 3 lunar probe from 1967, but not having any live TV after the first few minutes of the second Moon landing was a major Public Relations problem for NASA.
Most people only remember Apollo 13 from the 1995 Ron Howard movie, but to be fair, most people today were not even alive in 1970.
I’m not fan of any kind of superstition-based belief system, least of all the Roman Rite Church, which btw, the atrocious Henry VIII had once been deemed Defender of the Faith for.
King Hank no. 8 would not have fallen foul of Rome but he permitted the Bible to be translated into native languages instead of the Latin and Greek that nobody understood, and that was the beginning of the end.
God’s first servant, the King’s Lord Chancellor, Sir Thomas More, “the man for all seasons” who eventually lost his own head over the royal divorce, was no doubt serving God and (secondly) his King by burning so many heretics at the stake during his royal term of office. The Roman Church canonized Saint More (author of the 1516 dystopia Utopia) in 1935.
The point is, the superstitions and the rituals matter not to our Race, but how we transmit our narratives to future generations does matter.
🙂
Scarcity is probably the default mode for most of human history, but then so is a life expectancy of 35 and high infant and child mortality, where you know, common diseases like the measles actually killed and crippled people.
35 is an average. It is a meaningless figure, same as “average annual temperature”. After the deaths of poorly constituted children are taken into account, people in the western world lived good long lives. Not anymore, though, with the arrival of symptom-suppressing medicine. Genetically, the younger generations are obviously weaker. The number of children being born with birth defects is increasing.
Yes, that is an average. It does not mean that there are not people like Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) who lived into their 80s.
I will admit that the enormously high child mortality figures from prior to the advent of “drugs, drains, and microscopes” skews the averages a bit. The life expectancy at birth is a much lower figure than adult life expectancy.
Prior to the late 19th century, you almost needed nine children to be born into the family to have some live to old age.
AI says: “In 1900, the median age at death for an American was 58 years for men and 62 years for women.” That means that half of the men died before they had turned 60.
“In 1900, approximately 10% of infants died before their first birthday, and roughly 30% to 40% of children died before age five. […] Life expectancy at birth was [a figure] much lower—roughly 47.3 years.”
So your average adult could expect not to live much past middle age, and even in my lifetime, I can remember people kicking off from their first heart attack in their 30s or 40s. That rarely happens today. And cancer then was almost certainly a death sentence.
🙂
And cancer then was almost certainly a death sentence.
It still is, except that you die from the treatment, not the cancer. However, the reality is that you are alive not because of the treatment but in spite of it. Symptoms gone? Oh, goody. That’s all cancer “survivors” care to know.
Anyone who survives these nasty, destructive treatments for 5 years is considered “cured” by the System. After the five years are up? Heh, heh. Not to worry. Just put your name on a list for an organ transplant…
Go find highly educated professionals who will tell you the same thing. They are out there.
Well, we all have our anecdotes, but my mother survived cancer for longer than five years and is so far cancer-free. They caught it just in time. The chemo and radiation part sucked.
My friend, the late Holocaust Revisionist and Columbia-educated degreed engineer, Fritz Berg survived cancer after chemo for about twenty years. When it came back he did not seek more than palliative treatment, and he only lasted less than a year.
Regarding palliative care, as a survivor of a junkie who ran a red light and then me over with his car while I was in the cross walk, I have some experience with that too.
There is a new regulatory environment post the 8 billion dollar judgement against Purdue Pharma where doctors will now push any kind of quack New Age therapy regardless of the cost ─ just as long as it does not involve any pain management with opiates.
I can foresee a real need for euthanasia coming soon.
When I encounter a book-learned doctor who starts out with the line that they don’t do opiates here, as if he and his punk colleagues have just discovered sliced bread, I get up and leave. They are not going to be interested in anything that I nor their other patients have to say.
🙂

More Covington bullshit surfaces on C-C, nothing to do with Rome.
Dr ExCathedra: April 18, 2026 Whenever I read articles and comment streams like this, I am reminded of the Northwest novels of the late Harold Covington...
I’ll never understand why many C-Cers have such a silly fascination with the phony NS scam artist Harold Covington’s fiction. They actually see him as some sort of leader though he has been proven repeatedly for decades to have been a fraud and political saboteur, opposed to White renewal.
At least one reespected C-Cer saw through his bullshit, found here: “The Fiction of Harold Covington, Part Two”
Beau Albrecht: September 5, 2023 …Long ago, I noticed a similar pattern in HAC’s Usenet postings. Of the people he was saying were feds or otherwise smearing, these were all people who were getting things done. The more effective they were, the more vehemence HAC had for them. Although there are possible explanations for his behavior other than deliberate sabotage, I have to wonder – what’s up with that?
What “was up” with HAC can be found here and elsewhere that I’ve posted repeatedly at C-C: “Setting the Record Straight by Hadding Scott” at nationalvanguard.org
by Kevin Alfred Strom
FROM 2010 to 2018, racial-nationalist writer, translator, and researcher Hadding Scott maintained a blog titled Setting the Record Straight hosted at Jewish-run Blogspot. It focused primarily on debunking the lies of, and exposing the multiple identities used by, the late Harold Covington. It also dealt with several other controversial issues related to racial-nationalist figures. Although the blog became inactive, with no new posts since shortly after Covington’s 2018 death, it was still a valuable resource, especially since some of Covington’s fiction-laden smears still surface occasionally.
When we were recently informed by National Alliance Chairman Will Williams that Blogspot had moved to censor — actually, totally remove — Setting the Record Straight, I took it upon myself to take the archive.org copies of the blog and save them to our own server — both to make them more accessible and to back them up so they can still be accessed in the unlikely event that archive.org also takes them down.

It isn’t clear that Tucker’s vociferous anti-racism is an outgrowth of his Christianity. I think his anti-racism precedes his Christianity, and he is confounding which leads the other. If you listen to Tucker, he is most concerned with keeping the American experiment moving forward. He wants to avoid conflict and keep the country together. He expresses that desire as the goal and then uses Christianity to provide ultimate/divine moral authority.
As for religion, perhaps producing high quality art is the effort we most need. Our enemy controls the means of cultural production and transmission. That is how the new religion of dissolution masquerading as a 1970s Coke commercial for nons and an anti-skinhead propaganda film for Whites is transmitted. We must create great music and art and we must make sure the men who are doing it are beautiful to look at. Just show our people the difference between a spiritually broken White person and a spiritually healthy White person.
As for Christianity and Paganism it is tough. The Pagan rites are lost, and we don’t have time to resurrect and transmit them without some monumental galvanizing event. Even then, the Christians would revolt and we would be right back in another fratricidal brother war over something of secondary importance. The biggest problem of Christianity as I see it for now, is twofold. One, its geneology is wrong. Clovis chose it for its ability to provide common ancestry to the tribes and unite them. The second problem is that Christians claim that Christianity is the basis for Western Civilization. That claim is patently false. It is Greek philosophy that elevated Christianity from the religion of the plebs and sub-plebs.
As for the first issue, this is a major problem because it upholds a major vector of attack against our people. It places another people’s geneology above ours or worse replaces it. The second issue is an obvious problem as it gives the civilizational claim to another people and ultimate passes divine authority to their one true God and leaves us with a tribal squabble that does not serve us.
I think the best thing would be for a muscular Christianity to arise as the rites, temples and blood memory is still there. Deeply convicted to that religion and its cross Our people did traverse the world’s oceans and conquer it all. That Christianity must find a way to stop denying our genetic roots and our history. We are a mix of paleo-Europeans and Indo-Europeans, and our greatness long precedes Christianity.
The way I see it we have had 4 Grand Imperiums. DNA, archeology, linguistics and the hatred of our racial enemies are the uniting geneology and earthly reality that is supreme. We don’t need a fake geneology to unite us anymore. We have the truth and that truth is in our blood and the archeological and linguistic record. Second, the idea that we weren’t civilized until Christianity is simply untrue. The Renaissence alone refutes it when they were awe-struck by re-discovery of Greece and Rome and sought to re-climb those heights.
Moreover, Christ’s story is a version of typical Indo-European stories of divine conception, conquest of the underworld and a resurrection. Perseus is in my view a more grand version that that of Christ. The point is, Christianity to be viable and non-destructive must return to celebrating our pagan roots. I recently spoke with a Christian trying to find the ideal/heroic woman archetype in the Bible. I told him it was in our earlier Bible. It is Penelope in The Odyssey.
In short, we must fuse the living and still burnng embers of our closest faith with our scientific and cultural knowledge. Our enemies seek to destroy our territorial claims by writing us out of our history. Christianity must stand against that and imbue itself with the truth of our roots while providing the temples, liturgy and rites that are there waiting for people to walk into.
It already stood against usury and vice and it worked for a very long time. We need that too. We need an institution that will attack usurious parasitism and sexual lechery. That Christianity can do.
Finally, in the absence of an over-arching spiritual tradition, we must make religion a secondary concern if it causes friction and disagreement in aligning on the greater struggle – the survival of our people and the reclamation of our homelands. Pagans and Christians alike squabble over the religious question and it gets quite heated. We don’t have time for that. It is up to each of us to honor the other’s choice of religious practice and stop the feminine, heated critique and disrespectful discourse.
Conner, are you certain that Isaac drank of the Jesus juice just because others did?

“Sir Isaac who?” — in effect that’s what their argument boils down to. For it remains that that Aryan of the Aryans, Isaac Newton, is the exemplar of math, and is the exemplar of the idea that it was the White race which was behind the numerical representation of reality. It was Descartes who drew two intersecting lines (the true holy cross) that created four ninety-degree angles — and so he mapped the world. It was Newton who created calculus only as a means to his greater end; he made it and picked it up like others make and pick up a hammer. When he was done, he created equations which perfectly describe how objects move through space; he discovered laws, just as one day Kepler woke up and announced that bit about equal areas and equal times — what they did was nothing less than measure reality, analyze the numbers, and show us that they are not arbitrary human creations but literally messages from the gods: Use them precisely and you can read the shape of things to come. And in the social sphere no less than the natural, numbers rule — statistical analysis can make sense of complex social phenomena; which is why anyone who studies and contemplates them will by their lights become a racialist in an instant.

As Kevin Strom has sagely said, mathematics, physics, and genetics are the real words of God, just as he said that our destiny is in the stars. There’s a reason that on the way to the Moon, one of the astronauts quipped that it was Isaac Newton who was driving the ship now. But if these academic clods [and Jesus freaks] get their way, and they hold sway more and more as one hard discipline after the other falls to their lunatic depredations, then it won’t be the stars we end up in, but the reeking mud. For the Blacks and the Browns it’s no great loss, they were born in the mud and never saw the reason — or had the ability — to leave it. But for us it would be a tragic ending to a long journey that began when the first White man quite literally put two and two together….

It is not big secret, that the “pagan” ancient Greeks were much better scientists than Christian Byzanthinian Greeks much later. The scientifical regress is well/known.

Thanks for the reminder, Viktor. I’m no historian but know that Greek paganism preceded Christianity, introduced during the Roman era.
This is 2026. If we are to listen to a very smart, racially honest scientist explain things to us about reality and race preservation today, we cannot do better than Dr. William Pierce. In Dr. Robert Griffin’s authorized biography of Pierce, The Fame of a Dead Man’s Deeds, he has a chapter, “Discovering Cosmotheism” at nationalvanguard.org in which he wrote:
…I read through the three pamphlets on Cosmotheism that Pierce gave me and listened to a tape of a talk he gave back in 1976 at one of the Sunday evening meetings called “Cosmotheism: Wave of the Future.” I concluded from that that what Pierce calls Cosmotheism is a version of a religious orientation called pantheism. It helps to understand Cosmotheism if it is put in its pantheistic context.
Pantheism as a religious perspective and tradition differs from three others which are more familiar to us in this culture: theism (Judaism and Christianity are examples), atheism, and humanism.’ Even though pantheism doesn’t have a strong foothold in Western society, it is far from a rare phenomenon in the world.3 Taoism, some forms of Buddhism, Confucianism, the religions of American Indian tribes, and the pagan religions of northern Europe before the Christian influence all embody a pantheistic outlook. Many Greek philosophers reflect a pantheistic frame of reference, including Plato and Aristotle and the Stoics….

I’m not sure what you mean, Viktor, unless it’s in Dr. Dalton’s brief history lesson of democracy, from its Athenian beginnings, here: “Democracy Is an Ideal Government for Jewish Influence” at nationalvanguard.org:
Democracy or “Democracy”?
When our leading figures speak of democracy, it is not clear what they mean — nor do I think they even know themselves what they mean. It is pointless to talk about things if we don’t even understand the words we are using. So here is a brief review; apologies to those already knowledgeable on these matters.
Real, original democracy was invented circa 550 BC by the ancient Greek legislator Cleisthenes, when he decided that “the people” (deme or demos) should be the ultimate ruling power (kratos) in the city-state of Athens. Thus, the adult male citizens — not the women, not the foreign-born — regularly convened on a hilltop in Athens to debate the issues of the day, and to vote on various proposals, great and small; they did so openly and publicly. Notably, the people did not vote for individual leaders; nearly all leadership positions, including the leader of the Assembly (who was the de facto president of the polis), were selected by lot, at random, from among a group of citizen volunteers. Imagine that: your president chosen by lot! No campaigns, no ads, no bribery, no kickbacks, no meaningless promises — just pull a name out of a hat. And it worked.
The system had its pros and cons: on the one hand, governmental rule was simple, direct, and transparent; on the other, every uneducated, semi-ignorant man had an equal say to the wisest. It put the lesser men on a par with the greatest and best. And in doing so, “it grants a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike.” [5] But overall, it worked spectacularly well, and set the stage for the flourishing of Athenian culture over the next 300 years.
But as Athens grew in size and power, and as foreigners and slaves increased in number, the issues became more complex, the democratic process became more unwieldy, and the simple, direct democracy had a hard time adapting. Thus, leading thinkers like Plato and, later, Aristotle, began to examine alternatives. Better than democracy, said Plato, was oligarchy: rule by the (rich) few. They might be money-grubbers, but at least they had some management skills and a vested interest in the flourishing of the nation. Better still was timocracy, or rule by the honor-seekers. Rather than striving to build wealth, as the oligarchs would, timocrats would emphasize the honor and glory of the city-state; this was a very good option. But best of all, said Plato, was an aristocracy: rule by the best, meaning the wisest or the most just. An aristocracy could be a small group of wise men, or it could be a single wise individual; this was largely irrelevant. What was important was that you sought out, educated, and trained your wisest men, or man, and then you let them lead. And that, said Plato, is the best that humans can attain. [6]
Democracy was a poor alternative, he wrote, but there was one system even worse: tyranny. Democracy itself was already a sort of tyranny — of the pleasure-seekers, of the “majority” — but a formal tyrant, as a single man, could rule with impunity, enrich himself and his cronies, and bring ruin upon the polis. The tyrant was, in a sense, the mirror image of the wise, aristocratic philosopher-king of the best system. In both cases, a single man rules, but the tyrant is neither wise nor just, and has simply seized power by force; whereas the aristocratic ruler, by virtue of his wisdom and justice, rightly assumes power and exercises it with due care and discretion.
Of Plato’s five systems, all but a tyranny could plausibly be called ‘democratic’ in the sense that the people willingly accede to the system of rule. If the people agree to put a single, wise ruler in charge, and then to give him dictatorial powers, is that ‘democracy’? In a sense it is, but it would be unlike any current Western form. Arguably, this is the system of governance in Russia today, and to a lesser extent, China. Both rulers are “autocrats,” in the language of our oligarchs, but Russia does have national elections in which multiple people are on the ballot. And even if these are not “free and fair,” as we like to say, they do yield a single man to effectively run the country. China has no elections for its president, but rather the 3,000-member National People’s Congress selects him. Clearly there is no systematic process in either nation for seeking out the wisest ruler, but still, both sitting presidents have proven to be men of vision and substance — unlike, say, virtually every Western “democratic” leader of the past few decades. Modern democracy, it seems, is virtually designed to produce mediocre or incompetent leaders. And this is precisely what we get.
But to conclude the point: Modern “democracy” is scarcely anything like the Athenian original. “Democracy” is marked by a number of characteristics that would have been appalling to the Greeks: it has universal suffrage (women, minorities, and foreign-born can vote); it is a representative system, not direct (we vote for senators and representatives, who in turn vote on issues); we vote for individuals, including the president; and corrupting money gushes through the system like a torrent — primarily Jewish money, as it turns out. [7]
Do President Biden, VP Harris, and all those other politicians understand the difference here? Of course not. Have they studied political theory? Unlikely, to say the least. Have they read Plato or Aristotle? Never. When such people use the word ‘democracy,’ they literally do not know what they are talking about. Clearly, our modern-day “democracy” is something very different, something that has mutated from the noble Greek ideal, retaining only the name. Worse, it has become positively detrimental to national well-being….
Dalton clearly advocates aristocratic leadership that neither Russia nor China have today. Read more at the link.
