    Politicians, Guns, & Money: 
    The Profane Memoirs of a Justified Con Man

    You can buy Stephen Paul Foster’s novel Toward the Bad I Kept on Turning here.

    3,142 words

    Stephen Paul Foster
    Toward the Bad I Kept on Turning: A Confessional Novel
    Independently published, 2020

    “My cynicism I carefully dissembled.”

    “The sapience of a post-modern philosopher attached to the commentary of a Chicago mayor, I think, would bring a perfect understanding of where late-20th-century America was headed.” (more…)

    Living in Truth:
    A Yuletide Homily

    471px-Champaigne_Philippe_de_-_Saint_Augustin_-_1645-1650

    Philippe de Champaigne, Saint Augustin, 1645-1650

    2,637 words

    The key problem of our age is disconnection from truth. This takes several distinct forms. The first, and most obvious, is the prevalence of lies. As everyone knows, modern, Western civilization is founded upon lies about human nature, culture, and history. The most significant of these — underlying, in one form of another, most of the rest — is the equality lie; the myth of human equality, which is the chief myth of our age. (“Myth,” as most of my readers know, can have a positive or a negative connotation, as there are salutary myths; here, obviously, I am using the term in its purely negative sense.) (more…)

    Philosophy is a subject that never really sparked my interest. While I understand that philosophy is important to living a virtuous life, I simply think that virtue and morality are useless if you are forced to live around people that do not share your same morals and virtues. This is the situation that white people are now facing in our own countries. (more…)

    The Hippocratic Oath Today

    Dr. Casey practices medicine in the United States. She was a liberal egalitarian before becoming a white advocate.

    The Hippocratic Oath was a remarkable work for its time, but it has since been bastardized and distorted beyond recognition by the anti-whites. All mention of duty, honor, holiness, and the Gods has been replaced with feminist-inspired platitudes such as “warmth, sympathy, and understanding (more…)

    In Defense of Mishima

    2,780 words

    I have read Andrew Joyce’s article “Against Mishima” at The Occidental Observer with great interest and mixed feelings. I admire Dr. Joyce’s writings on the Jewish question, but to be candid, his critique of Mishima is on the whole tendentious and shallow. It is also overly emphatic on some topics while neglecting or downplaying other equally, if not more, important ones. (more…)

    The Criterion Collection’s recent release of a comprehensive Blu-ray collection of the cinema of Ingmar Bergman is an opportunity to re-assess the work of this greatest of Nordic filmmakers. Those who seen little of his work (or none at all) usually have the impression that Bergman’s oeuvre is dark and gloomy, filled with existential angst over the “death of God.” (more…)
