The Trump experiment is over, and the strange journey that the last five years have been is now at an end. There are already lots of assessments being made about the meaning of Trump’s presidency, but most of them are from either liberal or conservative viewpoints. (more…)

Errol Morris’ American Dharma, which is a documentary about Steve Bannon, is probably the most elusive film ever produced by a major filmmaker. Although it premiered at film festivals in September 2018 and received a great deal of press (most of it negative) at the time, it was impossible to see for over a year thereafter. The distributors refused to bring it to theaters, it wasn’t shown on television, and you couldn’t find it streaming or on DVD. (more…)

Republic of Lies: American Conspiracy Theorists and Their Surprising Rise to Power
New York: Henry Holt, 2019Anna Merlan’s Republic of Lies exemplifies the typical Leftist outrage over the recent rise of nationalism on the Right. Instead of taking on Right-wing concerns in order to refute them, however, Merlan attempts to smear and discredit Right-wing people – who are mostly white – as deranged conspiracy nuts with a weakness for snake oil and demagoguery.

Now that it is past Labor Day, I want to tell the traditional “what did you do last summer?” story. Most of my summer was spent doing what I normally do: working out, attending civic and cultural events in my home base in the state of Washington, and supporting Counter-Currents. (more…)

Two Years Later: Reflections on Campaigning for Donald Trump & His Subsequent Presidency
In reflecting on canvassing for Donald Trump, both in my previous article and the one below, which was written a few days after the election in 2016, I am struck by just how intense 2016 was. (more…)

Notre Ennemi, le Capital
Paris: Climats, 2016Following the election of Donald Trump as the forty-fifth President of the United States, there was a flood of YouTube clips of Clinton supporters, mostly female, throwing tantrums of biblical proportions (the reader will know the sort of thing: he rent his garments and covered himself with sackcloth, etc.) which afforded this writer both amusement and bewilderment. The tearful outbursts of grief were without insight or intelligence of any kind, with one exception. (more…)

In the aftermath of Trump’s election, there was nothing worrying about seeing the already infamous pro-establishment mainstream media propping up the Cambridge Analytica narrative, which attributed his victory to his campaign’s use of the predictive models developed by the firm (more…)

8. listopadu 2016 se Amerika ocitla na rozcestí: cesta doleva směřovala k většinově barevné zemi se vším, co to obnáší, cesta doprava nabízela alespoň šanci zastavit demografické nahrazování bělochů a tak Ameriku zachránit. Stačilo málo: republikán, který by byl ochoten a schopen problém vidět, měl odvahu s ním něco udělat a politické umění dostat se do Bílého domu. Stručně řečeno jsme potřebovali zázrak. Mohl nás zachránit jedině nějaký bůh. Nebo božský císař. (more…)

Le 8 novembre 2016 les États-Unis d’Amérique arrivèrent à la croisée des chemins: soit l’Amérique virait à gauche et devenait un pays à majorité non-blanche, avec tout ce que cela implique, soit elle virait à droite et pourrait peut-être ainsi être sauvée si l’on réussissait à arrêter le remplacement démographique en cours. Il ne nous manquait qu’un candidat républicain qui ait une compréhension assez grande des enjeux futurs pour voir le problème, puis le courage de s’y attaquer et enfin il fallait qu’il ait assez de talent pour jouer le jeu politique et s’emparer de la Maison Blanche.

On November 8th, 2016, America arrived at a fork in the road: turn Left, and America would become a majority non-white nation, with everything that entails — turn Right, and perhaps America could be saved by halting white demographic replacement. (more…)

We did it. We survived Hillary. We’ll be protected for four years at the executive level and for many more on the judiciary. A president Trump, though he may not agree with us, will respect our right to free speech. His Supreme Court appointees will defend us for far longer. Our defense has been established.
But we don’t have much time. In 2020 the US will be far less white. (more…)

On the eve of the Democratic National Convention, Wikileaks published Democratic party emails revealing levels of cheating, corruption, and clown-car incompetence that shocked even the most jaded cynics. The Democrats responded like a naughty six-year-old caught red-handed. They simply tried to change the subject. The emails, they said, were hacked by the evil Russians. So I guess we are supposed to disregard their contents. (more…)

At the 2008 American Renaissance conference, Michael Walker made a very simple point about democratic politics that has stuck with me. Most people are not interested in ideology and moral principles. Instead, he said, quoting British socialist politician Tony Benn, they are interested in “security, peace, and prosperity.” (more…)

On the fourth night of the Republican National Convention, presidential nominee Donald J. Trump gave an unheard of, albeit leaked, 75-minute speech. I watched most of it, but like many people of my generation, my attention was divided across multiple screens. From my television set, the voice of the authoritarian populist some consider to be literally Hitler blared through my quarters. (more…)

Yes, this is a listicle. The (((New York Times))) recently ran an article titled “For Whites Sensing Decline, Donald Trump Unleashes Words of Resistance,” which contains a good survey of archetypical anti-Trump commenters. It should be noted that I have been following their coverage for a long time, and this particular article actually had a lot of pro-Trump comments. (more…)

Recently I returned from the most liberal place on earth. For security reasons, I cannot divulge its name or location.

After winning primary contests in five more states, Donald Trump looks like he will most likely become the Republican Nominee. Indeed, Trump didn’t just win narrow victories, he won every single county and every single Congressional District in all five states. He annihilated his opponents — Cruz and Kasich — and may well have vaulted over the clutching tentacles of the #NeverTrump movement and squarely into the GOP captain’s seat, squaring-off against Hilary Clinton.

At the root of all politics is a threat of violence. Whether enacted from above or below, the ability to assert one’s political interests requires, at the very least, the threat of force.

Donald Trump’s master strategy is such a perfect response to the Current Year that was, and the Current Current Year, that the man is either a genius, a savant, or someone anointed by the Gods to wreak havoc on the folly of humankind. The Donald has armored himself in a sort of ideological invulnerability that comes from strategizing on a primal level, and this makes him unassailable, (more…)
