The Hungarian Referendum
And the Winner is . . . Apathy

John Morgan

Viktor Orbán

2,473 words

The results of Hungary’s referendum on the EU’s migrant quotas are in: most Hungarians don’t want to allow the EU to force them to accept migrants, but don’t care enough to bother going to the polls to vote against it. Read more …

Only Two Days Remain!
Kickstart Arktos’ Translation of Benoist’s View from the Right

John Morgan

701 words

One of the primary reasons we created Arktos Media in 2010 was to make the groundbreaking works of Alain de Benoist, the founder and chief thinker of the European New Right, available in English at long last, and toward this end we acquired the rights to his corpus right away. Since then, we have published five of his books in English, and two more will be appearing shortly – The Indo-Europeans and The Runes and the Origins of Writing. Read more …

Arktos’ Guillaume Faye Kickstarter Campaign

John Morgan

917 words

Arktos has acquired the English-language rights to all of Guillaume Faye’s works that were written over the past 20 years. So far we’ve published five of them, and the most recent, The Colonisation of Europe, was just published this month. Recently, we also purchased the rights to his most recent titles (other than Sex and Deviance, which we published in 2014). We are now launching a Kickstarter campaign as part of an effort to get these translated and published within the next year. Read more …

The Camp of the Migrants

John Morgan

Viktor Orbán

3,139 words

Many on the Right these days are fascinated by Vladimir Putin, but if one wants to look for a politician who is actually doing something that benefits Europe in a tangible way, one need look no further than Hungary’s Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán. Orbán’s actions against illegal immigration in recent weeks have almost made me inclined – emphasis on almost – to forgive him for his banning of the conference that my company, Arktos, had planned to hold alongside the National Policy Institute nearly a year ago (something that he personally ordered).

Jobbik Makes Gains in 2014 Hungarian Elections

John Morgan

1,629 words

Yesterday (Sunday, April 6), the national parliamentary elections, which are held every four years, took place in Hungary. This election was particularly notable in that it was the first time that those of Hungarian ethnicity who reside in other countries were allowed to participate – a significant change considering how many Hungarians live outside of Hungary’s borders at the present time, most especially in those territories which it lost following its defeat in the First World War.

A Glimpse of the Post-American Future:
The National Policy Institute Conference of 2013

John Morgan

5,835 words

When I think of my favorite cities in the United States, Washington, DC is not high on the list. I’ve had to go there, for various reasons, several times over the years, but, except for the time I came as a tourist, it’s never been a place I would imagine spending any more time in than absolutely necessary.

Identity vs. Globalism in Stockholm:
The 2013 “Identitarian Ideas” Conference

John Morgan

2,683 words

No American of European descent who sets foot on the sacred soil of Europe can help but feel a powerful connection back to his European heritage, no matter how far in the past it might be, nor can any such person who is not deluded escape the feeling of urgency that grips those who experience first-hand the death spiral in which this continent is currently locked. Such have been my feelings over the past several weeks, after I arrived for the first time on the European continent, specifically in Sweden. Read more …

On Death & Taxes: Harry’s War

John Morgan

3,648 words

Today being April 15, the much-dreaded “Tax Day” (for our non-American readers, this is the deadline each year when federal income taxes for the previous year must be filed with and paid to the U.S. government’s Internal Revenue Service), I thought it appropriate to call attention to a largely forgotten film that deals with the subject of taxation, and by implication, the larger issues that the question of the federal government’s authority represents: Harry’s War.
