Before beginning the second instalment in this series of film reviews, let’s revisit the criteria.
The Haitian National Centre for Geospatial Information (CNIGS) is the closest thing Haiti has to a space program. Possessing no spacecraft launch facilities, satellites, or even telescopes, its sole purpose seems to be to collect satellite data that is donated to it by the French Space Agency which is then used to help Haitians to cope with the many disasters which strike their country. Compare this to NASA’s achievements and you’ll see why Haitians may be less capable than Ohioans at space exploration. (Image source: Recovery Observatory Haiti)

55 years ago, almost to the day, Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the surface of the Moon. This event is not discussed nearly enough. As I see it, the Moon landing is one of the greatest achievements in the 300,000-year history of the human species. No earthly life form had ever traveled to another celestial body until three brave, white explorers completed their daring journey on July 20, 1969. That iconic date should be counted among the most glorious in the history of White America.
Not one of the great powers of past ages can claim to have sent the first man to the Moon. For myself and my fellow white Americans, that is an achievement that can be claimed by us and us alone. The moment Armstrong stepped onto the Moon’s surface, a new, uniquely American chapter was contributed to the epic, ongoing tale of the white race and its exploits. (more…)

Byznysmen Elon Musk v poslední době prokázal značný potenciál jako kritik ilegální imigrace, protibělošských nálad a dokonce i ze řetězu utrženého vlivu židovské lobby. Proto bylo pohled na jeho rituální ponížení během nedávné omluvné cesty od Osvětimi po boku Bena Shapira tak nepříjemný. (more…)

Black people do not like to think about history too much, because Black people don’t exactly have an excitingly stellar history . . . — Paul Kersey, Stuff Black People Don’t Like: 365 Days in Black-Run America
We once went to the Moon. We can’t go back now… — Paul Kersey, Whitey on the Moon
If history is written by the victors, we should assume that maxim applies to the current culture wars just as much as hotter exchanges. What we are witnessing, like onlookers at a 1960s moonshot, is a history which may be replaced one day, maybe very soon — expunged, overwritten, wiped clean like the blackboards schoolchildren used to be allowed to use.

Entrepreneur Elon Musk has shown immense promise recently as a critic of illegal immigration, anti-whitism, and even the out-of-control Jewish lobby. That’s why it was disquieting to see him ritually humiliated during a recent apology tour of Auschwitz with Ben Shapiro at his side. (more…)

The following is a continuation of two previous essays of mine on the intersection of religious skepticism and White Nationalism, “Christian Nationalism Has Made Me Agnostic” and “The Religious Skeptic’s Case for White Solidarity,” but can be read independently.
Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars. — Carl Sagan (more…)

This is the second part of the notes for a lecture entitled “The Conquest of Nature: Ayn Rand,” from October 1999. This was the seventh lecture of an eight-lecture course called “The Pursuit of Happiness,” delivered to my adult education group, The Invisible College, in Atlanta.
Ayn Rand wasn’t always an advocate of laissez-faire capitalism. Indeed, the early Ayn Rand was a Nietzschean with an aristocratic disdain for commercial society. (more…)

It’s true that the government is quite capable of lying like hell. That doesn’t, however, mean everything they say is a lie. This is so even for the Nixon administration, despite the bad reputation they gave themselves on the way out. If Resident Bidet’s junta would rise to Richard Nixon’s standard of integrity and truthfulness, imperfect as it was, it still would be a vast improvement. (more…)

Anyone who remembers the 1980s can recall exactly what they were doing when the space shuttle Challenger exploded just 73 seconds after lifting off on January 28, 1986. People at the Florida launch site openly wept, pounded their fists on the hoods of their cars, and held each other. Schoolchildren looked at the televised images of the disaster with horror. The news media went into a frenzy, and President Reagan delivered a televised eulogy that evening that was probably his best speech ever. (more…)

I suspect most people have particular topics that affect them profoundly and cause a welling up of emotion that most other people would find a bit strange. For me, the topic is space probes. When I watch documentaries or read articles about them, I tear up the way we all tear up at a piece of heartbreakingly beautiful music or a cynic-proof rendition of the national anthem. After the unmanned spacecraft Cassini completed its mission in 2017 and sent back its stunning images of Saturn, the probe’s creators issued (more…)

Ad Astra (2019), starring Brad Pitt and directed by James Gray, is the best science fiction movie since Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar (2014). Like Interstellar, Ad Astra is visually striking and emotionally powerful, stimulating to both thought and imagination, and unfolds at a leisurely pace—all traits inviting comparisons to Kubrick and Tarkovsky, although I hasten to add that I found both Ad Astra and Interstellar so absorbing that my attention never wavered.

I frequently see articles by race realists expressing a pro-futurist, pro-technology angle. I roll my eyes, but that’s fine. If you’re an optimist concerning technology, so be it. But if you don’t explore the underlying issues that would make that tech-future possible, you haven’t made your case. (more…)
