The defining characteristic of twenty-first-century social interaction is the movement from in-person human contact towards moderated interaction online, increasingly manipulated as if human beings are livestock in a laboratory experiment. One of the most frightening aspects of this Big Brother scenario is that our digital overlords in Left-wing Silicon Valley seem to have a definite opinion about our racial dating preferences. They really do not want white people to meet each other and fall in love when they can be having someone else’s babies. (more…)

Nothing can produce better drama than ex-friends going to war. As political theater, it produces just as much heat and excitement as when real enemies go at it; but with friends, there’s the added element of contempt — the result of all that icky familiarity they used to share.

But as with much of what we view online these days, I wonder how much of it is WWE and how much is MMA.

This much we do know: This past week, conservative YouTuber Steven Crowder and Daily Wire boss Ben Shapiro have been fighting like cats. (more…)

We owned a horse which had been presented to us by a dear friend. It was a magnificent animal of Arabian breed, possessed of almost human intelligence . . . — Nikola Tesla’s autobiography, My Inventions

Free speech and skepticism are or should be two central pillars of civilization, so it is no surprise to see them under attack from the British deep state and its provisional wing in the guise of Big Tech. (more…)

Censorship is not always about hiding secrets. Sometimes it is just an assertion of raw power. — Nick Cohen, You Can’t Read This Book

There is something special about being ten years old. Every child knows this on his tenth birthday, crossing the shadow line from single to double digits. It means you’re all grown up. A similar thing happens to books, particularly those which concern themselves with politics and metapolitics. We read them again a decade after they were born and ask, “Well, you’re a big boy now. What have you got to say for yourself?” (more…)

What about the Freemasons?

This is where I describe groups often cited as participants in the more conspiratorial aspects of globalism. Feel free to skip straight down to the comments section to throw rocks at me for saying too much or too little about your favorite cabal. (more…)

There has been much discussion about the New World Order and related topics lately. Some might dismiss the possibility entirely, considering it all to be idle talk. (more…)

Well, friends, we dun goof’d. We predicted, as a movement, as thinkers, that Russia would not invade Ukraine. We are, of course, at the time of writing, into the third week of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, so it behooves us to look into what happened and where we went wrong so that our analytical apparatus can meet the next crisis better prepared.

For a slice of the wrong predictions in that long-forlorn time of February 2022, you’d do well to read John Morgan’s article about why Russia won’t invade Ukraine (but is still winning) right here on Counter-Currents. (more…)

John Stuart Mill, in On Liberty, provides us with a brief crime report from the nineteenth century:

Penalties for opinion, or at least for its expression, still exist by law; and their enforcement is not, even in these times, so unexampled as to make it at all incredible that they may some day be revived in full force. In the year 1857, at the summer assizes of the county of Cornwall, an unfortunate man, said to be of unexceptionable conduct in all relations of life, was sentenced for 21 months’ imprisonment, for uttering, and writing on a gate, some offensive words concerning Christianity.

Two wild stories came out of the Breadtube scene within a 12-hour period earlier this week. Perhaps both deserve their own article, but they happened at the same time, and they might be related. I’ll explain why at the end.

The first story occurred on Monday night, when Communist Breadtuber Vaush announced to the world that he was a federal informant. (more…)

You are much less free than you used to be just a few short years ago; this an irrefutable fact. Almost daily in 2020 and 2021 we have witnessed scenes of tyranny and repression which we would never have thought possible in modern Western states. We have looked on as Australian construction workers were riddled with rubber bullets as they rallied for their right to work without vaccine passes. We have watched tens of thousands of medical workers who were previously vaunted as heroes thrown out of their jobs because they did not comply with vaccine mandates. (more…)
