Christopher C. Miller (with Ted Royer)
Soldier Secretary: Warnings from the Battlefield and the Pentagon about America’s Most Dangerous Enemies
Nashville & New York: Center Street, 2023

It is no secret that President Trump operated in the midst of a viper’s nest of traitorous officials throughout his valiant tenure in office, and the worst offenders were in the Department of Defense. Trump was elected on a policy of reducing America’s endless involvements in foreign quarrels in which America has no interests. (more…)

Marlène Laruelle
Russian Eurasianism: An Ideology of Empire
Washington, DC: Woodrow Wilson Center Press, 2012

Eurasianism is the dominant ideology of Russia today, as well as of the “Stans” of Central Asia. Eurasianism is a civilizational ethos in its own right. It is a powerful subset of Orthodox civilization, which combines the destiny and cultures of the Russians and the Turkic people — either Orthodox or Muslim — in a single ideological narrative.

For the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Counter-Currents published a symposium (linked below) which, sadly, still remains relevant as the organized Jewish community and various white traitors, dupes, and tools agitate for yet another war with one of Israel’s enemies based upon lies and sanctimony.

Fróði Midjord: Another thing that you bring up here is to make a point that in attacking the American ideology, Dugin paints a ridiculous and cartoonish picture of Americans; and as you point out, correctly I believe, the same can be done about Russians. (more…)

I came across David Cronenberg’s Videodrome relatively late in my arc of movie-viewing enthusiasm. It went well past the high school-aged fascination with low-brow horror (the original Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street) or college-years serial killer obsession (American Psycho or any movie derived from Ed Gein mayhem).

في عام 1982، ظهر تقرير حكومي للسياسة الخارجية في مجلة إسرائيلية ربع سنوية غامضة إلى حد ما، والتي أصبحت تُعرف بشكل غير رسمي باسم خطة عوديد ينون. لم يكن هذا القدر من الأهمية بمكان، باستثناء أن المؤلف بالتأكيد لم يكن ميالاً للسياسة. شغل عوديد ينون منصباً رفيعاً في وزارة الخارجية الإسرائيلية، ويبدو أيضاً أنه كان مقرباً من أرييل شارون. والأهم من ذلك، أن أجندته بعيدة المدى تحمل تشابهاً ملحوظاً مع مستقبل الشرق الأوسط، وعلى وجه الخصوص، العقدين الأخيرين من العبث الدقيق للولايات المتحدة هناك. يبدو أن بعض الأشخاص المؤثرين جداً أحبوا أفكاره، أو أنه عراف أفضل من نوستراداموس.

In 1982, a foreign policy white paper appeared in a fairly obscure Israeli quarterly, which informally became known as the Oded Yinon Plan. That much wouldn’t have been too momentous, except that the author certainly wasn’t a run-of-the-mill policy wonk. Oded Yinon held a high post in the Israeli foreign ministry, and also seems to have been close to Ariel Sharon. More to the point, his far-flung agenda bore a remarkable resemblance to the future of the Middle East, and in particular, the last two decades of the USA’s fine messes therein. (more…)
