The Brotherhood of the Bell is a bold Deep State conspiracy tale, as well as a tasty morsel of nostalgia. This came out when wood paneling was still in style, although soon to go the way of hair grease. There are rotary phones that sit on a desk, with a corded handset no less, and you, like, actually dial them. Adding machines—for real? Oversized sedans with herky-jerky suspension, nosing upward when you hit the brakes? Got all that too! For kids these days, this showcase of Nixon-era manufactured goods surely is almost like visiting a museum for flint arrowheads and spearpoints. (more…)

Now that I’ve explained why conspiracism is not an accurate way to understand various processes and agendas playing out in the world today, I’m not going to explain the logical errors with the conspiracist mindset in a general sense. Again, I don’t deny that conspiracies among powerful individuals exist and occur regularly. The issue is with making conspiracy foundational to one’s interpretation of the world and the belief that world events have been preplanned and are being orchestrated by a grand conspiracy. (more…)

On July 9, 2023, a hiker stumbled upon the decomposing remains of a teenage boy at a campsite in Gunnison National Forest, Colorado. The hiker alerted the authorities who found two additional corpses belonging to middle-aged women in a tent at the campsite. All three bodies were severely underweight, and their cause of death was determined to have been starvation. The three were estimated to have already been dead for several months at the time of their discovery. (more…)

Years ago, during my brief academic career, one of my students explained to me how the Canadians were taking over Hollywood. At first, I thought that “Canadians” was just a euphemism for Jews. But no, as he continued, it became clear that he earnestly believed that the Canadians were taking over Hollywood, because it was cheaper to shoot movies and TV shows than in Canada.

Around the same time, a friend told me of an encounter with a man who believed that feminism was a lesbian conspiracy. (more…)

Duncan Smith
The Surprising Liberation
Sydney: Alfadex Books, 2025

Who ultimately runs the world? That depends on who you ask. But one thing is clear; someone does. Even if we can’t look into the inner chambers of power and see who is working the levers, we can at least agree that there is power. Someone is exercising it, and they are probably not doing so for our good. That there exists such power is provable by its effects; By his works shall ye know him, and those works are many. (more…)

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t—you’re right.”

—Henry Ford

Agency is the ability to take meaningful action. Essentially, is one more of a subject or an object. There are three types of people according to their level of agency: non-player characters (NPCs), player characters (PCs), and dungeon masters (DMs). Life and art imitate one another, and these terms are known to anyone familiar with old school tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons. DMs run the game, while PCs play the game and interact with NPCs. (more…)

Joseph Scotchie
Samuel T. Francis and Revolution from the Middle
Shotwell Publishing, 2025

Joseph Scotchie has produced a short, easily digested biography of Samuel T. Francis (1947-2005). It will be especially profitable reading for the many younger people now attracted to white racial defense and the dissident right, but not well-informed about their history. The author appears to have relied largely on published sources, and I have heard surprise expressed at his failure to conduct interviews with some of the people Sam worked most closely with, especially during his last years.

Many a time, if you meet political science students at even the most prestigious institutions, you will encounter readers of Carl Schmitt, Joseph De Maistre, and even Thomas Carlyle who ostensibly grasp what they are talking about when they mention power, but in reality know nothing of the sort.
