Poznámka překladatele do angličtiny

Následující projev zazněl 17. května 2005 v Moskvě a jeho francouzský přepis vyšel na ruském webu Athenaeum.

Přinejmenším ze tří důvodů mám za to, že stojí za to šířit tento projev v nacionalistických kruzích: první důvod si postupně začíná uvědomovat stále více anglicky mluvících nacionalistů – Guillaume Faye je dnes asi nejzajímavějším, i když ne vždy nejpřípadnějším mluvčím za geneticko-kulturní dědictví související s bělošským odporem.

It is no secret that President Trump operated in the midst of a viper’s nest of traitorous officials throughout his valiant tenure in office, and the worst offenders were in the Department of Defense. Trump was elected on a policy of reducing America’s endless involvements in foreign quarrels in which America has no interests. (more…)

He may be a son of a bitch, but he’s our son of a bitch. — Franklin D. Roosevelt

“Takes one to know one,” as the old saw goes. FDR’s “our son of a bitch” reference, which some say is apocryphal, was to Anastasio Somoza García, the President of Nicaragua from 1937 to 1956. (more…)

Is Putin Yul Brenner with hair?

I first saw the 1959 film The Journey on TV when I was a kid watching NBC’s Saturday Night at the Movies. With recent events in Russia, it seemed timely, so I looked it up on YouTube. (more…)

Nancy Pelosi’s flight landed in Taiwan on August 2 despite very loud and vigorous protests from the People’s Republic of China. For the time being, the Chinese have done little but whine impotently, rattle their sabers, and announce military exercises near and around Taiwan. They’ve declared a state of emergency in the coastal regions nearest to Taiwan, which is expected to last until August 7. Chinese sources are calling this the Fourth Taiwan Crisis. (more…)

“A splendid little war” was how Secretary of State John Hay described the Spanish-American War of 1898. Since Hay had served in Abraham Lincoln’s administration, he had had a lot of experience with more jaundiced wars like the one in the 1860s. The Spanish-American War was little, and its splendor depended upon where you were when it occurred. In DC’s clubrooms and in Congress, it was quite alluring, and was to most of the country. But if you were on the front line taking rounds from Spanish Mausers or suffering agony from malaria or dysentery — which a good part of the army was — it was not so splendid. (more…)

Robert Jensen

Robert Jensen is an archetypal Leftist academic: a feminist, an anti-capitalist, an anti-imperialist, and someone who belivies in institutional racism. He was denouncing “white privilege” well before doing so became fashionable, and his feminism is of the radical variety, at odd’s with today’s wishy-washy “girl boss” posturing. I read his book Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity as a teenager, and was impressed that unlike most conservative critics of porn, Prof. Jensen had actually done his homework.

Counter-Currents has some excellent authors. One of my favorites is Spencer Quinn. He can take the complexities of current events and type out an excellent summation of them and what they mean. In one article, Quinn states:

And now that we are in Year 1 AFE (After-Floyd Era), we must all realize that the United States has been irrevocably damaged, (more…)
