The House of Representatives passed a bill earlier this month that will require all men aged 18-26 to be automatically registered for conscription into the military. The bill was spearheaded by Representative Chrissy Houlahan, a Democrat from Pennsylvania whose parents came to the United States as Jewish refugees from Lviv, Ukraine in the aftermath of the Second World War. The bill doesn’t officially change government policy, as all male American citizens aged 18-26 were required to register for the draft even before this new bill was passed, and by itself may be unremarkable or merely symbolic, but the circumstances surrounding it may suggest that the US is planning to escalate the situation in Ukraine, the Middle East, and/or Taiwan.

George Friedman
The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century
New York: Anchor Books, 2009

George Friedman’s The Next 100 Years is an intriguing forecast of how the twenty-first century will play out. Friedman gets a lot of things wrong, but there is nevertheless a method to his analysis, and we have much to learn from what the broader center-Left, of which Friedman is a part, gets right. It’s also interesting because glowing reviews in the mainstream media suggests that the book has been guiding the establishment’s thinking, and thus explains some of their odd decisions. (more…)

Invade the world while inviting the world, and it may all come crashing down on you.

The 9/11 attacks are the most deadly terrorist attacks of the twenty-first century (so far). The planners combined a wily, perverse use of airplanes, mentally ill Sunni religious fanatics, and iconic skyscrapers to kill nearly 3,000 people, most of them white. (more…)

Before you read this article, you need to drop everything and contact your elected official encouraging him or her to not allow any Afghan refugees into your country. While Afghans are white Indo-Europeans, their culture has some drawbacks. Those “translators” we are supposedly obligated to help were often involved in insider attacks, theft, and bacha bazi. (more…)
