The eighth wonder of the modern world might be Hillary Clinton, the “wonder” being how someone with such massive deficits of character, ability, and self-awareness has been taken seriously by enough people to make her so dangerous to the rest of us. Like much of what is presented to us by the professional reality managers as true, the opposite is usually the case. (more…)

But there are in our country semi-Trotskyites, quarter-Trotskyites, one-eighth Trotskyites, people who help us, not knowing of the terrorist organization but sympathizing with us. — Karl Radek at the Moscow show trials, 1937 (more…)

Part 3 of 4 (Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 4 here)

Aside from campaign contributions, wealthy donors and special interest groups can also be gateways to extremely lucrative career opportunities after a politician’s time in office. These special interest groups often lace their campaign contributions with extremely tempting and lucrative private-sector opportunities such as book tours, speaking tours, and privileged consulting positions and careers at the apex of the corporate world, which have allowed many politicians to monetize their political careers and become extraordinarily wealthy.

“Reality”: the world or the state of things as they actually exist.

One succinct way to characterize the Western “democracies” is that they are, in all their various manifestations, anti-reality regimes. For starters, they are not really what they piously call themselves — “democracies” — in any accepted definition of the term. The governments of these countries are cabals of oligarchs who use political parties as fronts for advancing the interests of backroom, money-connected players. (more…)

“Avoid the line. Vote from home. Text Hillary to 59925.” — an online joke by Douglas Mackey

Douglass Mackey, also known as “Ricky Vaughn,” was convicted today by a federal jury in Brooklyn of the charge of Conspiracy Against Rights. . . . Mackey faces a maximum of 10 years in prison.[1]

“Conspiracy Against Rights”? How about lèse-majesté, an offense in this case against soreheaded loser Hillary?

 Paul Begala is credited with the quip: “Politics is show business for ugly people.” Given his close, working connection with Hillary Rodham Clinton, it is a safe bet that HRC up close was his inspiration for that deliciously cynical bon mot. (more…)

“A fish rots from the head down.”

Perhaps an old Turkish proverb; it has also been attributed to Erasmus, written in a Greek text.

A literal translation of it would be an encouragement to point the long, boney finger of accusation at the leadership of an organization or society when it begins to stink of incompetence, corruption, and degeneracy.

If one were to take a deep breath, it would be difficult in this post-George Floyd era of mandatory black-people worship not to inhale the pungent odors of institutional rot and decomposition. So, then, where to look to find the head of the rotting fish? (more…)

Each year, Jared Taylor’s American Renaissance names a “White Renegade of the Year,” a tradition begun by Wilmot Robertson’s Instauration. The white renegade of the year is someone who could have used his position to help whites but instead chose to do the opposite. In the same spirit, Counter-Currents is inaugurating a “Non-White Ally of the Year” series, to recognize non-whites who have used their position to help whites.

In 2022, Kanye West — whose popularity and reach came as quite shock to me — received enormous coverage for wearing a White Lives Matter t-shirt. (more…)

New York: Oxford University Press, 2022

Professor Gary Gerstle teaches at Oxford University and has written several excellent books about America and its racial and social problems. One such book is American Crucible: Race and Nation in the Twentieth Century, which was first published in 2001 and was later updated with a few extra chapters describing Black Lives Matter terrorism and some quotes from the cast of non-whites in the Hamilton minstrel show who were mad about Trump being elected.
