The Environment

Since I’m a tree hugger, this was a rather difficult chapter for me. Still, I’ll give it a fair hearing. Liddy begins by demonstrating that there is still plenty of fossil fuel, and that there will be for a long time. I’ll grant him that point, though it’s somewhat more complicated than that. As easier-to-reach reserves are depleted, there’ll be diminishing returns which will eventually make the price of fossil fuels exorbitant, or even prohibitive. (more…)

The late, great G. Gordon Liddy certainly was a remarkable individual. History best knows him as the most colorful of the Watergate burglars, and the only one who kept his mouth shut throughout. After the statute of limitation expired, he had plenty to say about his motivations, especially in his autobiography Will. Leading up to that misadventure, he had been a member of the FBI when it was more respectable. (more…)

The 1893 World’s Fair, also known as the World’s Columbian Exposition, was held in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus. Best known for its magisterial fairgrounds, the Fair was a landmark event in American history and showcased a large array of cultural and scientific achievements. It attracted an audience of over 27.5 million over the course of six months and exerted a significant influence on American culture. (more…)

We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams. — Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States

And different statistics for violent crime.

Almost a quarter of the twenty-first century is “history” and, given how badly it’s been going, perhaps it’s time to pause and ask the question: Who’s to blame? (more…)

July Fourth always inspires a nostalgic feeling in me. When I was a kid, the holiday roughly marked the halfway point of summer break. Then, and now, it also means the beginning of the dog days of summer. The term “dog days” originated with the ancient Greeks, who coined it to describe the longest days of the year, which brought with them the most oppressive sunlight. (more…)

George Friedman
The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century
New York: Anchor Books, 2009

George Friedman’s The Next 100 Years is an intriguing forecast of how the twenty-first century will play out. Friedman gets a lot of things wrong, but there is nevertheless a method to his analysis, and we have much to learn from what the broader center-Left, of which Friedman is a part, gets right. It’s also interesting because glowing reviews in the mainstream media suggests that the book has been guiding the establishment’s thinking, and thus explains some of their odd decisions. (more…)

So are we merely documenting the decline?

This is a question I often see posed among people on the Right. Things are not exactly ascending for us these days, and so the decline that we see dripping all around us like dirty water from a cracked ceiling can get monotonous and depressing. (more…)

Some time ago I had dinner with one of Our Guys. He asked me if I followed the many memes that our movement generates. I replied that I do not. Furthermore, I admitted that I don’t always have time to read every article that is published. I am too busy focusing on attempting to create intelligent content of my own which speaks to the truth of our situation. (more…)

“The [scariest] shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function.” — Albert Allen Bartlett

To procreate, people need to be sociable enough to meet someone and decisive enough to choose them. Similarly, to make money they need to pick a career and shut out all other options. Such people excel in getting into power and then idiotically doing nothing as the world collapses around them. (more…)

James Howard-Johnston
The Last Great War of Antiquity
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2021

První světová válka je konflikt v mnoha ohledech podivný. Znepřátelené strany se modlily k témuž Bohu, jejich královské rodiny byly blízkými příbuznými a národy byly dosti svobodné a blahobytné. Skrze své kolonie ovládaly většinu světa. Stačilo, aby postupovaly společně a zlatý věk, v němž žily, mohl vydržet dlouhá léta – katastrofálně v této situaci ovšem neuspěly. (more…)
