Trey Garrison & Richard McClure
Opioids for the Masses: Big Pharma’s War on Middle America and the White Working Class
Quakertown, Pa.: Antelope Hill Publishing, 2021

Opioids are a major killer. This poison has infiltrated every part of the American heartland, especially the post-industrial Rust Belt and Appalachian coal country. Working-class white Americans whose parents and grandparents scorned the recreational drug users of the 1960s are now hopelessly addicted themselves. (more…)

An Anonymous January 6th Prisoner
The American Regime
Quakertown, Pa.: Antelope Hill Publishing, 2022

On January 6, 2021, a large group of mostly peaceful protestors entered the US Capitol to protest the fraudulent election of 2020. The bulk of the protestors milled around aimlessly and took selfies. They were met with a vicious response from the police. Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed US Air Force veteran, was shot in the neck by a sub-Saharan law enforcement officer with a record of professional infractions. (more…)

Giles Corey; Preface by Kevin MacDonald
The Sword of Christ
Deus Vult, 2020; soon to be reprinted by Antelope Hill

Does Christianity help or hinder, in the words of Sam Francis, “the efforts of the Right to defend the European-American way of life”? According to Giles Corey, that is the Christian Question (p. 2), and The Sword of Christ is his attempt to defend Christianity as not merely compatible with, but essential to, white European civilization. In his statement of “Mission,” Corey makes clear that he is writing for two audiences: (more…)

When a white person — a white man in particular — comes of age either by escaping, eluding, or ignoring the seductive clamor of modernity, he becomes hardened. This doesn’t mean he becomes hard of heart or that he cannot love, appreciate beauty, or even change his ways. (more…)

Lisa Birnbach, Ed.
The Official Preppy Handbook
New York: Workman Publishing, 1980

The Official Preppy Handbook was originally published in late 1980. It spawned many imitators and at least one quasi-sequel (True Prep, 2010), as well as various updated and deluxe editions. It also helped to launch a genre of humor books that mixed faux sociology and sartorial fun. I touched on that trend a year ago in my supercilious takedown of 1984’s The Yuppie Handbook. (more…)

1,943 words

J. A. Nicholl’s collection of 15 weird tales was published by Counter-Currents in 2017. The stories perfectly synthesize the various sentiments and viewpoints of those on the Dissident Right with horror-based literature; most importantly, this is done without beating the reader over the head with politics or painstakingly proving a point. To put it as plainly as possible, Nicholl’s writing and storytelling abilities are superb, and this collection is a must-read for anyone even remotely interested in the genre. Greg Johnson accurately summarizes the feel of this work in his back-cover description: (more…)

PK van der Byl, African Statesman
Johannesburg: 30º South Publishers, 2010

If you need a useful and practical hero in the field of race politics and statecraft, you might take a good look at a colorful and headstrong eccentric named Pieter Kenyon Fleming-Voltelyn van der Byl (1923-1999).

When it comes to the story of independent Rhodesia, most people only remember Prime Minister Ian Douglas Smith. (more…)

John Cleese of Monty Python and Fawlty Towers fame is one of the funniest men alive. He’s also fearsomely smart. Beyond that, he has the vision and courage to oppose political correctness, one of the banes of comedy, creativity, and civilization itself. Thus it was an easy decision to snap up his new book, Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide (London: Hutchison, 2020), now out in paperback from Penguin. Creativity truly is a short book — I estimate about 20,000 words. It can be easily read in one sitting, and with great profit, for it is brimming with arresting insights and useful advice on cultivating one’s creativity. (more…)

The members of an ethnic group who cease striving to preserve their ethnic genetic interest have their inclusive fitness — their adaptiveness — reduced to the individual fitness of children and close family. They are, in effect, leaving their ethnic genetic capital to chance — the vagaries of nature and the good-will of competing groups. — Frank Salter

It may seem ironic that one of the most canonical pro-white and pro-white nationalist works ever written hardly mentions the white race at all. But it really isn’t ironic. (more…)
