    Christopher Pankhurst
    Numinous Machines
    San Francisco, Calif.: Counter-Currents Publishing, 2017

    Whenever I read a book with the intention of writing a review, I like to underline certain passages as well as jot notes in the margins. This quickly became an untenable approach for Christopher Pankhurst’s Numinous Machines, as there was simply too much to pull from the text. The book is a collection of essays that seeks out the numinous spirit in arts and culture in an era that is devoid of almost anything vital whatsoever. (more…)

    Huntington at 25:
    The Clash of Civilizations

    Samuel Huntington

    2,644 words

    The decline of the West is still in the first slow phase, but at some point it might speed up dramatically. — Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations & the Remaking of World Order

    In 1993, academic and White House strategist Samuel P. Huntington wrote a piece for the American geopolitical journal Foreign Affairs entitled “The Clash of Civilizations?” Three years later, Huntington dropped the “generally ignored question mark” and expanded his work into a book. (more…)

    „Onen hlad feláhů po míru, po ochraně proti každému narušení každodenní rutiny, proti každé formě osudu jako by naznačoval ochranné mimikry před chodem dějin, lidský hmyz, který vystaven nebezpečí hraje mrtvého, ‚happyend‘ prázdné existence, nuda, jež dala vzniknout jazzu a černošským tanečkům v pohřebním průvodu za velkou Kulturu.“… (more…)

    Spengler on Causation

    827 words

    One of the most interesting and original aspects of Oswald Spengler’s philosophy is his separation of history from causality. For Spengler, history is an examination of the fulfillment of a particular group’s destiny that is not necessarily subject to the strictures of cause and effect: (more…)

    Our Choice is the Holocaust or Outer Space

    Activists from the “Lifeline Expedition,” where whites put on chains and yokes to atone for slavery

    2,395 words

    “But most of the people of the United States have been brainwashed. And I do mean, literally, brainwashed. And that’s the thing you’ve got to correct. You’ve got to bring people who are actually ignorant, not just ignorant of particular things, but ignorant in their behavior towards society in general. And if we want to win this, win a recovery of the U.S. economy, you’ve got to do that.” (more…)

    Spengler, Yockey, & The Hour of Decision

    1,812 words

    Czech version here

    spengler-duotone“That is what the craving for the peace of fellahdom, for protection against everything that disturbs the daily routine, against destiny in every form, would seem to intimate: a sort of protective mimicry vis-à-vis world history, human insects feigning death in the face of danger, the “happy ending” of an empty existence, the boredom of which has brought in jazz music and negro dancing to perform the Dead March for a great Culture.”
