On May 9, 2024, Jared Taylor released a video entitled “What Is Our Goal?” that, quite frankly, surprised me. After a litany of well-chosen illustrations of America’s decline, he declares:

It doesn’t matter who is elected President this year or four years from now or 40 years from now. It’s over. We can’t take the whole country back. We’ll have to settle for something less. (more…)

Pssst — white people! There is no shame in being white. There is only shame in ever thinking there was. In the 50 short, sharp, incisive essays contained in his book Whiteness: The Original Sin, author Jim Goad examines why the idea of being white has become the modern version of the unpardonable sin. On the latest broadcast of Counter-Currents Radio, which was the fifth meeting of the Counter-Currents Book Club, host Greg Johnson was joined by author Jim Goad as well as John Derbyshire and Angelo Plume (Telegram, YouTube) to discuss the book and anti-whiteness more generally. It is now available for download and online listening. (more…)

Classical liberalism tends to get a bad rap in our circles. There are reasons for that, of course. Although it didn’t turn out to be the final word in political theory, or a be-all end-all ideology, there are some valid principles from it which should be salvaged. More to the point, is democracy — or representative government, to be specific — washed up? (more…)

Once upon a time there was a fairy kingdom that lived inside a place called The Beltway, and was surrounded on all four sides by a land called America. The Beltway was aligned with another kingdom called Manhattan, inhabited by disembodied heads that spoke from the walls of bars, and with yet another closed kingdom called Hollywood, the abode of half-educated narcissists.

If the current regime disappeared, and I were given a free hand to create an ethnostate, this is what I would do. I am going to focus simply on policies and institutions, not practical questions about how we would gain and keep the power to implement them.

1. First and foremost, I would declare that America is the homeland of the American people, a people of European stock. (more…)

I am communing in my office with a sufficiency of Wild Turkey, the whiskey of the great Hunter Thompson. With its help I think curmudgeonly thoughts about America, which is over, done, surrounded by feeding leeches, ticks, hag fish, lampreys, and corporations. And Joe Biden. I find this deeply satisfying. (more…)

A letter by Osama bin Laden addressed to the people of the United States was posted in Arabic in 2002 to a Saudi Arabian website that was then being used by bin Laden’s organization, Al Qaeda, to distribute its messages. In November of that year it was translated by Islamists in the United Kingdom and then posted to various English-language websites in that country, and was also sent out to e-mail lists run by opponents of the Saudi regime who were living in Britain, according to The Observer at the time. On November 24 the full text was published at the Guardian as well. (more…)

There is a vast gap between MAGA populism and the “radical” Right. Despite the fact that we have common enemies and are both supposedly nationalist, this gap only seems to be growing.

This was recently highlighted by the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who was endorsed by Donald Trump and hysterically attacked as “Christo-fascist” by the media. But Mike Johnson has an adoptive black son, worships Saint Fentanyl Floyd, and made sending even more aid to Israel his first priority. Christo-fascist? More like Judeo-Bolshevik. (more…)

The Israeli military is poised to undertake ground operations in Gaza at any moment. At least that’s what is being touted by almost every Israel-friendly media outlet in the world. I have a feeling that even though Israel is technologically superior to Hamas’ irregular fighters, it’s not going to go particularly well for the Jews. (more…)

In our country we wish to substitute morality for egotism, probity for honour, principles for conventions, duties for etiquette, the empire of reason for the tyranny of customs, contempt for vice for contempt for misfortune, pride for insolence, the love of honour for the love of money… that is to say, all the virtues and miracles of the Republic, for all the vices and snobbishness of the monarchy. — Maximilien Robespierre, “On Virtue and Terror” (1794) (more…)
