A short while ago I wrote about the connections between Willis Carto and the Truth Seeker magazine and its owner Charles Smith, who published the original American edition of Imperium. An equally significant connection there is Frederick C. F. Weiss, who was linked to both the Truth Seeker and the National Renaissance Party (NRP) in New York in the 1950s. Weiss was a longtime friend of Francis Parker Yockey, who sometimes stayed at — or hid out at — Weiss’ farm near Middletown New York, about 60 miles northwest of Manhattan. It was through Weiss that the Truth Seeker’s Charles Smith was introduced to Imperium, and probably to Yockey as well. (more…)

Birchers: How the John Birch Society Radicalized the American Right
New York: Basic Books, 2023A couple of months back I reviewed a biography of Robert Welch (A Conspiratorial Life) that I regarded as superficial and facile.[1] The author, Edward H. Miller, seemed to have no real feel for the issues that motivated Welch and his followers in the late 1950s and early ‘60s. In fact, Miller displayed little sense of that time at all — as a political era, I mean. (more…)

Back in 2008 I asked my dad how many Madonna songs he could name. He could only think of one: “Like a Virgin.” I found that amusing since Madonna had been an omnipresent cultural icon for a quarter of a century. (more…)

Rootless Cosmopolitan Duo Releases Book About “White Rural Rage”
Has a major American publisher ever — and I mean even once — released a book written by an impoverished rural Caucasian that examines the multifarious neuroses and prejudices of urban Jews? If so, can you tell me how I’d go about ordering such a book? (more…)

One might say that the concept ‘game’ is a concept with blurred edges. — Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations
Blurred around the edges though the concept of a “game” might be, I believe it is safe to say that every serious player of every kind of game plays to win. Which brings me to an extremely popular game being played these days with payoffs for the winner in the form of power acquisition: the “game of virtuous victimhood.” (more…)

The Icelandic government considered a bill in early 2018 banning the non-therapeutic circumcision of newborn boys. If passed, the law would have found such acts punishable by up to six years in prison. The reason for the ban, according to Silja Dögg Gunnarsdóttir, the member of Parliament who created the bill, was simply humane concern for boys’ welfare. “The bill only wants to protect the rights of the child to control his own body, and to make sure that no unnecessary surgery that could potentially harm the child is performed that early,” she stated. Makes sense, right? (more…)

When it comes to their ability to disappoint me, people never disappoint me. One of the biggest compliments I can give someone is “You never annoyed me,” but it’s a compliment I use sparingly — perhaps once a year.
Although I’ve skipped a year here and there, this “Most Annoying People” listicle is a tradition I started ten years ago when writing for another site. Last year for Counter-Currents I wrote about “The 22 Worst Things About 2022,” but this year I’m shifting the focus back to annoying people. (more…)

2023 was the year when all of the dissident Right’s most fanciful, pie-in-the-sky “what ifs” came true. What if an eccentric billionaire came along and used his vast fortune to give us a platform? What if some high-profile Conservatism Inc. shills got red-pilled and started preaching White Nationalist talking points? What if the Overton window shifted so far to the Right that the Jewish question became mainstream? (more…)

It’s only been a week since Elon Musk took a stand on the Jewish Question, and yet so much has happened since then it almost feels like ancient history already. While it was a big win for the dissident Right, in the days that followed there were some minor black pills. (more…)

There are people in the world who are said to have “fuck you money.” That’s when you have so much money and such financial security that you can go around being a complete bastard to everyone and say “fuck you” to whomever you please with little or no adverse consequences to one’s self.
Elon Musk has more than “fuck you money.” He has “name the Jew money.” Kanye West thought he had “name the Jew money,” but actually did not. Elon Musk really does. (more…)

One could make the case that Hamas’ surprise raid has gifted Israel the pretext it needs to enact all of its long-standing geopolitical goals. Israel’s ground offensive will not only focus on destroying Hamas, but will also have the peripheral effect of displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, which Israel will not allow to return once the fighting is over — if it is indeed ever over. Knowing this, regional players such as Jordan, Egypt, and Turkey have all stated they will not take in Palestinian refugees — but it remains to be seen if they will stick to that policy. Western governments, of course, are already preparing the ground to take them in. (more…)
