Warm weather, football, hordes of non-white asylum seekers launching fireworks and wielding knives, and parked cars formed a confluence of elements that led once again to riots in France. Over the weekend, Paris and other parts of France saw vehicles ablaze, water cannons at full blast, wanton acts of vandalism and looting, police resplendent in riot gear, Palestinian flags, stabbings, brawls, and sirens.

Another day, another article written in response to an act of desecration and vandalism perpetrated by those who seek to spoil whatever is left of that thing we once could call “Western Civilization.” Honestly, I was reluctant to write this. After having typed thousands of words on the exhausting farce that was the recent European Cup, perhaps I can be forgiven for not having the muster to write about yet another attack on our race, our culture, our traditions, and our senses. As I wrote in my essay on EURO 2024, life in the West today is like fighting on the parapets of a fortress as wave after wave of enemy soldiers relentlessly scales the walls. (more…)

The French Mistake

I’m only going to focus on one story this week because it seems compelling and significant enough to drown out everything else that happened. Since it bears the ominous potential to metastasize into something even more far-reaching, it may become the story of the year. Or decade. Or century. (more…)

In addition to our sporting mission, we Germans also have the major political mission to fulfill. — Luz Long[i]

Carl Ludwig “Luz” Hermann Long (1913-1943) was a world-class German athlete who competed in both high and broad jump competitions and is best known for winning the silver medal in the broad jump at the 1936 Olympics.

He was one of the most visible ambassadors of sports in the Third Reich, sometimes even acting as standard bearer at sports events, and Long really was the ideal Aryan poster boy: tall, blond, and blue-eyed, with both a competitive and chivalrous streak to boot. (more…)
