Part 1

Today on the Right, there is much discussion of religion in the West, and for good reason. Whether we are talking about reactionaries who wish to wind back the clock to Protestantism, Catholicism, Paganism, or esoteric Traditionalism—or futurists looking forward to a new Nietzschean or vitalist dispensation—just about everyone on the Right has some position (or positions, often contradictory) on religion and its relationship to Rightist politics.

Peters (1946 – 2011) of the LaPorte Church of Christ in Colorado was a remarkable white advocate who left a body of pro-white Christian Identity literature which should be more broadly known.

The Gospel of Christ

The Roman Army, led by Pompey, conquered Syria and the Levant in 63 BC. Less than three decades later, Julius Caesar conquered Egypt. The Romans indirectly ruled Judea through a client king, Herod the Great, an Idumean. As in Idumean, he was not racially Jewish and only nominally practiced the Jewish pseudo-religion. (more…)

The Monsters of Babylon: How the Jews Betrayed Mankind (Vols. 1 & 2)
Sspress, 2024

The subversive Jewish angle in Norman Lear’s tawdry sitcoms went mostly unrecognized in the 1980s and ‘90s. Few in mainstream American society recognized the treachery of Jews at the highest levels of the US government, either. Apart from some perceptive critics such as Paul Findley, (more…)

Christian evangelicals — or fundamentalists, to be a little less precise — are in the unenviable position of catching flak from both the Left and the Right. There are some points which have already been discussed quite a bit already on our side of it. On the bright side, they tend to have their hearts in the right place, along with some healthy values. Overall they’re good people, despite what the Leftists say about them, except for certain bloviating televangelists who really are that bad. (more…)

Theology matters. The ideas arising from how religious thinkers have connected things in scripture drive a great deal of social policy. The outcomes of these policies can be good or bad. Societies that follow a Calvinist interpretation of Christianity, for example, tend to be wealthy. (more…)

The Damnatio Memoriae of Lucius Aelius Sejanus and the Jews of the Roman Empire

During Jesus’ ministry, the Emperor of Rome was Tiberius Caesar, but the government of Rome was administered by Lucius Aelius Sejanus. Pontius Pilate, a client of Sejanus and the husband of Ceasar Augustus’ granddaughter, was Governor of Judea. Herod Antipas was the tetrarch of Galilee. (more…)

But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong. When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile believers, who were not circumcised. But afterward, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn’t eat with the Gentiles anymore. He was afraid of criticism from these people who insisted on the necessity of circumcision. (more…)

Odds and ends

Then it’s back to Abraham Foxman. He explains that the Israeli Prime Minister said he’d received 4,000 calls from concerned families after 9/11. Later, this got conflated into a story about 4,000 Jews not showing up to work at the Twin Towers that day. It’s nice to see him clearing something up and earning his keep. (more…)

There is an ongoing revolution in American Protestantism which is worth examining: the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). The NAR is an outgrowth of the Pentecostal Denomination which developed in Los Angeles during the 1906 Azuza Street Revival. Simply put, Pentecostalism’s difference from other branches of Christianity is the theological idea that the events described in The Acts of the Apostles are prescriptive rather than descriptive.

The Emerging of a Christian Historical Consciousness

For all we have said about Greek and Roman historiography (and there were other historians, such as Suetonius, Appian, and Casius Dios), contemporary scholars invariably agree that the ancients remained a “non-historical” people. Herbert Butterfield is convinced “the Greeks did not achieve historical mindedness, and never could have achieved it, because they had the wrong view of time and the time process.” The Greeks “only knew of a comparatively short history behind them — they thought that the historical past extended back for only a very few hundred years.” (more…)
