About Green Nazis in Space!
World War II has been over for decades, but Nazis are everywhere! From girls boarding schools in Scotland to fashion shows in Peking, from utopian desert islands to New York nightclubs, from intellectually fashionable Paris cafés to campy flats in Chelsea Square. They’re even in the War Room, and—my God!—they’re already in outer space!
James J. O’Meara, the New Right’s most provocative writer, uses his “paranoiac-critical” lens to reveal the method of Judaic culture-distortion—such as the youthful “girl-craziness” that conservatives think of as the “good old days” but was manufactured by Hollywood to undermine traditional forms of male friendship and social organizations (and start World War II)—while demonstrating that it just can’t prevent the eternal return of the “Fascist Other” throughout our popular culture.
The essays collected here, discussing pop culture icons from Kafka and Burroughs to Houllebecq, Halston and even the Green Lantern Corps, show that the defeat of the European Revolution of 1933 did not mean the end of White culture and Aryan tradition, which continue to gleam darkly beneath the glossy politically correct surface.
Wherever you’re coming from, you’ll find ideas here that will challenge, delight, or infuriate—usually at the same time. If you’re any kind of White Nationalist, you’ll be heartened by the endurance of White cultural memes. And you’ll probably want to get another copy to send to your favorite cuckservative or Social Justice Warrior.
Praise for Green Nazis in Space!
“With Green Nazis in Space! James J. O’Meara reminds me once again why he is my favorite literary and cultural critic. His genius is discovering surprising connections between the most widely separated realms of culture, as well as correspondences between sublime Traditionalist wisdom and sometimes ridiculous pop cultural artifacts. My favorite essays here are ‘Welcome to the Club’ and ‘Reflections on Sartorial Fascism,’ which are his most compelling statements yet of his views about the conflict between the Aryan Männerbund and Jewish cultural subversion. Audacious, insightful, and witty, Green Nazis in Space! is a terrific book.”
— Greg Johnson, author of Truth, Justice, and a Nice White Country
“Green Nazis in Space! has the delightful immediacy and variety of the best critical journalism—I think of collections of Mary McCarthy, Gore Vidal, George Orwell. Like those three, O’Meara shakes out the truth by standing conventional interpretations on their heads. Thus, the supposed ‘fascism’ of Muriel Spark’s Jean Brodie was in reality the murderous Totalitarian Humanism of the social justice warrior (‘The Fraud of Miss Jean Brodie’). Franz Kafka was no doomed, obsessed prophet of the Holocaust, but rather a millionaire slacker whose ‘horror’ stories were written as absurdist satires (‘Kafka: Our Folk Comrade’). And like Orwell, O’Meara particularly shines when he takes on pop culture and its social effects, such as the weird permutations that adolescent social roles underwent in postwar America (‘Welcome to the Club’). Green Nazis in Space! is Mr. O’Meara’s most enjoyable collection so far.”
— Margot Metroland
“Hang on to your action figures: it’s time for another collection of James O’Meara’s blunt, wry attacks on practically everyone. Despite his often-exhausting fascination with Jewish neuroses, I can’t think of a writer with a more fantastic capability for wringing insight porn from the lowest of pop culture. More entertaining than the movies he picks apart and more erudite than most academics, O’Meara’s M.O. is to spy upon cultural artifacts whose creators never expected them to stand the test of time as he traces the pulse of American mores, from the late 1900s to the present moment. You’ll never look at superheroes, Nazis, or horny teenage boys the same way again.”
— Ann Sterzinger, author of NVSQVAM (nowhere)
“If we lived in a Traditional society there would be no need for James O’Meara’s writings. There would be no confusion about culture, no cynicism surrounding religion and no hysteria about sexuality. But we don’t live in such a society so O’Meara’s words are invaluable to those who seek to understand how and why our world can disgust and fascinate us, often at the same time. In Green Nazis in Space! he continues to tease out the hidden connections between the detritus of popular culture and the heights of Traditionalist spirituality, leaving neither unscathed in the process.”
— Christopher Pankhurst

Mysticism After Modernism: Crowley, Evola, Neville, Watts, Colin Wilson, & Other Populist Gurus
A new kind of spiritual teacher or “guru” has emerged in the 20th century, one more interested in methods, techniques and results than in dogmas, institutions, or – especially – followers. James O’Meara examines these “populist gurus” from a wide variety of perspectives, including substantial chapters on well-known figures such as William Burroughs, Aleister Crowley, Colin Wilson, Alan Watts, Neville Goddard, and Julius Evola, as well as such fringe phenomena as Chaos Magick and even the origins of the Internet’s ‘meme magic.’

The Homo & The Negro
James O’Meara’s The Homo and the Negro brings a “queer eye” to the overwhelmingly “homophobic” Far Right. In his title essay, O’Meara argues that the Far Right cannot effectively defend Western civilization unless it checks its premises about homosexuality and non-sexual forms of male bonding, which are undermined not just by liberals and feminists, but also by Judeo-Christian “family values” advocates. O’Meara also uses his theory to explain the stigmatization of Western high culture as “gay” and the worship of uncultured oafs as masculine ideals.

End of an Era: Mad Men & the Ordeal of Civility
AMC’s Mad Men (2007–2015) was an instant hit, winning fifteen Golden Globes and four Emmys and “redefining television.” Already a slew of books have appeared to examine its cultural impact. Now comes The End of an Era: Mad Men and the Ordeal of Civility, bringing to the discussion a unique perspective: race realist and Traditionalist. Drawing in equal measure from Kevin MacDonald and René Guénon, and able to marshal a stunning array of pop culture reference points, James J. O’Meara — himself a child of the ’60s and a product of America’s long-dead industrial heartland — examines the hidden agendas and social implications of the Mad Man phenomenon. At its center is a bravura, two-part essay analyzing the disintegration of the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce agency as symbolic reenactment of the archetypal struggle of the Aryan and the Judaic for control of Western civilization. From the culture-creating powers of the three-button suit, to the dissolution of the Aryan Ego in the hot tubs of Esalen, The End of An Era delivers one stunning insight after another. You’ll never watch a rerun of Mad Men the same way you did the first time.

The Eldritch Evola . . . & Others: Traditionalist Meditations on Literature, Art, & Culture
“James J. O’Meara is my favorite literary and cultural critic. A virtuoso essayist who can reveal the most startling connections, O’Meara brings Traditionalist spirituality and a New Right sensibility to bear on both high and popular culture, showing that Tradition, like Cthulhu, still lives in the depths and can rise to the surface again, if you know what to look for . . . or if the stars are right.”
