Not Stolen: The Truth About European Colonialism in the New World
New York-Nashville: Bombardier Books/Post Hill Press, 2023

. . . [N]early all the stereotypes about American Indians that the Left holds dear are traceable to the naivete of the 1970s progressive movement. Almost all these stereotypes arose in white, middle-class American households; they generally reflect liberal talking points such as environmentalism, anti-capitalism, and the peace movement.

Manchester, N. H.: Sophia Institute Press, 2004

What if I told you that there exists a book which fully encapsulates what is both glorious and tragic about the white race? Would you buy it? Would you read it? Mind you, there is no middle ground in this book. People who are banal, mediocre, pretty good — not there. The funny, the pleasant, the mildly irritating — all banished. There is no one who is normal or average in this book, okay? (more…)

A sharp, functional sense of victimhood may grate on the pride of many white people.

To be ethnocentric and white in the West these days amounts to posing a challenge to the corrupt established order.

Self-published, 2022

In 1517, a German monk named Martin Luther wrote a set of theses condemning corrupt financial practices within the Roman Catholic Church. Before that time, Luther’s theses would have wound up in a file in the Vatican and ignored, but thanks to the printing press, his ideas spread across Europe.

The Pilgrims who founded Plymouth Colony receive a great deal of glory. This glory is well deserved, but other shiploads of colonists did valorous things as well. The same year the Mayflower[1] crossed the Atlantic, so too did the Bona Nova. The latter vessel’s destination was Virginia, but it was swept northwards by the tides and wind. The crew recovered the situation by beating against the wind back towards Virginia, arriving in January of 1621. (more…)

The American Farmer in the Eighteenth Century
New Haven, Connecticut: Yale University Press, 2018

The events of January 6 have been called an insurrection, a riot, an assault on democracy — the epitome of white supremacy, revolution, anarchy, elements of a coup d’etat.

The defining characteristic of WASPs is that they are much less ethnocentric than other peoples; indeed for all practical purposes Anglo-Saxon Protestants appear to be all but completely bereft of in-group solidarity. They are therefore open to exploitation by free-riders from other, more ethnocentric, groups. [1]

There is a woeful lack of ethnic consciousness and cohesion among Anglo-Saxons worldwide. (more…)
