Perhaps the greatest irony of the periodic political revolutions that occur in American democracy is that most of the voters who make them possible have not the foggiest notion of what they are doing.

The article “Russians Are Not #Ourguys” by Mr. Dewitt has generated a whirlwind of heated response from Counter-Currents readers.

Hegemonia
English original here
We wrześniu 2001 r., zaraz po atakach terrorystycznych 11. września, poleciałem do Paryża na organizowany przez Front Narodowy Fête des Bleu–blanc–rouge: wiec polityczny połączony z piknikiem, w którym biorą udział tysiące francuskich nacjonalistów oraz sympatyków z całego świata. Zanim rozpoczęło się to wydarzenie, byłem na spontanicznym spotkaniu nacjonalistów z krajów anglojęzycznych: Stanów Zjednoczonych, Kanady i Wielkiej Brytanii. (more…)
