The most probable scenario came to pass in the aftermath of the 2023 Polish parliamentary elections (see my report on it here). To sum up events: The conservative Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (Law & Justice, or PiS) party, which had been in power for the two terms, won the most votes, but not enough to gain the total majority of seats in the Parliament.

Now there is a Pole memed round the world . . . On the December 12, 2023, Polish MP Grzegorz Braun used a fire extinguisher to put out the lights on a hanukkiah (incorrectly referred to as a menorah in most reports) in the Polish Parliament. The questions everyone on the dissident Right is asking are how did that happen, and is Grzegorz Braun our guy? Just to spoil the fun for everyone right away: no, he is not our guy, and his intentions were not 100% “red-pilled.” Probably the best comparison we can make to anglosphere politics is to say that Braun is a “Catholic Alex Jones” of sorts.

The Polish parliamentary elections of October 2023 promised to answer the ultimate question of Polish politics: whether the ruling party — in this case Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, or Law & Justice (PiS) — can break the curse and rule for a third time in a row, something which had never been achieved before in the 33 years of Polish democracy, or will it adhere to the iron rule of Polish politics and lose to the main opposition party after being in power for two terms?

Immigration has become a major issue in Central Europe since 2015, whereas since the fall of Communism the primary social issue in this region had been emigration . But a lot has changed since the famous “migrant crisis” along the Balkan route — and the faces you see in the streets of Warsaw, Budapest, Prague, and Bratislava are changing, too.
Over a few weeks in the summer of 2015, a veritable migratory route was set up stretching from Turkey and Greece to Hungary, the guardian of the Schengen Zone’s southeastern border. (more…)

The following is the text of a talk that was given at the recent Counter-Currents Spring Retreat. The video can be seen here, or below.
Cyan asked me to speak on this topic, and before I begin, I just want to clarify something, because when it comes to these matters I’m overly pedantic. But historically speaking, ethnonationalism and religion don’t go together. This is because the nation-state itself, which was born out of either the French Revolution or the Second English Civil War, depending on who you ask, has always been secular and opposed to any mixing of politics and religion.

Interview with Grégor Puppinck, Director of the European Center for Law and Justice (ECLJ)
In November of this year, Poles will vote to elect a new Sejm (parliament), and therefore a new government. Under pressure at the national level from the Euro-enthusiastic liberals on its left and the patriots and nationalists of Konfederacja on its right, the center-Right coalition led by the Law and Justice Party (PiS) is not certain to win the upcoming elections after two consecutive terms.
Grégor Puppinck is the Director of the European Center for Law and Justice (ECLJ). (more…)

La Nouvelle Librairie has begun publishing Les Carnets Rebelles (The Rebel’s Notebooks) by Dominique Venner. The first volume, which was published at the end of 2021 and is an anthology of observations and autobiographical anecdotes, reveals the passions and lucidity of this unique historian. The editorial staff offers its readers an extract, probably dating from the beginning of the 1990s, in which Dominique Venner underlines the real issue of the fall of Communism in the East: “This emerging movement, which has no name yet, repudiates liberalism as well as socialism. It is a return to the sources of the peoples.” (more…)

It seems that Donald Trump has riled the waters yet again, this time, by being ideologically consistent on the issue of abortion. While not always having been pro-life (or Right-wing at all, for that matter) it appears that in attempting to appeal to the conservative crowd, The Donald has taken a pro-life stance, though as always, he has taken things a step further — perhaps even too far.
