So here’s a question: Why are we not hanging Barack Obama in effigy from tree limbs in every major city and town in America?
Don’t answer . . . yet.
Here’s what provoked me to ask such a provocative question.
In May 2017, we had a second-tier comedienne grabbing her fifteen minutes of notoriety by posing with the bloody, decapitated head of President Trump. Also in May, we had torture porn disguised as a Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar in which a number of actors (many of whom were black) stabbed a Trump lookalike to his gruesome and bloody demise. An Indian-American CNN news host called the play “brilliant” around the time he was also referring to the president as a “piece of shit.”
After all of this, on June 14th, a deranged leftist decided to shoot up a friendly congressional baseball game in Alexandria, VA. Like the Devil coming down to Georgia, he was looking for some souls to steal. Republican souls. And he almost got one: Representative Steven Scalise. Well, the man is still in critical condition, so the Devil may get to nab that soul after all.
Our leftist media nabobs responded predictably, with hand-wringing about gun-control or with passive-aggressive finger-pointing at Republicans or with ludicrous claims that the shooting was in self-defense or with outright lies about any and all of the above. This, of course, comes after how they effectively ignored the 12,000 tweets calling for President Trump’s assassination since his inauguration. Shortly after the shooting, the Huffington Post called for more organized political violence. A leftist, Hispanic-Jewish blogger tweeted, “Surprised we don’t see more confrontational protest tactics to draw attention to Trumpcare. Where’s the Trump hotel lobby sit-in? Idk.”
So attempted mass murder is now being categorized as a “confrontational protest tactic.” Are we taking notes, kids?
Meanwhile, Republican politicians can’t help but notice a spike in the number of death threats they’ve been getting lately. That, and a New Jersey Democratic strategist decides he wants to #huntrepublicans. To make matters even worse, a day after the shooting, two black thugs in a car shot up a truck as it was headed east on I-495 in Indiana. It’s “Make America Great Again” flag made the truck a target, apparently.
After all of this, what did the organizers of Orange Julius Caesar decide to do? Well, the show must go on, of course. And why not? They’re still getting financial support from Time Warner. Them’s some deep pockets there. And when a protester named Laura Loomer tried to shame everyone in attendance for promoting hatred and violence, what happened? She was booed and then arrested. Because, of course, she’s the bad guy. Anyway, it’s not like the audience showed up to appreciate Shakespeare or anything, not when killing Trump is in the offing.
So, back to my original question. With all this in mind, why aren’t we hanging Barack Obama in effigy from tree limbs? Is there a good reason? If decapitating President Trump or repeatedly stabbing him to death is fair game, then certainly tying a noose around a dark-skinned dummy with big ears and swinging it from a tree shouldn’t be too much of a stretch, right? And then if some deranged right-winger gets inspired by such a hideous display to go out and execute the real thing on an innocent Democratic politician, well, that would just be another “confrontational protest tactic,” wouldn’t it? We shouldn’t be too worried about that, given that such “protest tactics” have the official seal of approval of left-wing Hispanic-Jewish pundits on the internet. What more do you need?
And if we get cold feet for lynching in effigy a man with partial black ancestry in a nation with a history of anti-black lynching, we should remember the number of black deaths due to lynching in America from 1882 to 1968 (around 3,446) is less than the number of blacks killed by other blacks in a two-year span since 1990 (e.g, 2,784 in 2004 and 2,984 in 2005). Further, as Thomas Nelson Page pointed out, around 65% of the blacks lynched from 1900 to 1903 were guilty of murder or rape, of attempting either of these crimes, or of being complicit in them. Most of the time they were strung up for good reasons. Of course, this does not exonerate lynching, but it doesn’t exactly condemn it, either. Therefore, outrage over the effigy lynching of a black man should fall on deaf ears . . . the same way that Laura Loomer’s outrage fell on deaf ears at Shakespeare in the Park.
Clearly, the organizers behind the Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar are not terribly concerned about life imitating art. Or perhaps they want life to imitate art, at least the “art” as it has been doctored up to appear in Act III, Scene 1 of Julius Caesar. How else can you explain not canceling the show after the anti-Republican bloodbath on June 14th? Maybe they thought if they just kept running it long enough they’d hit pay dirt again. Who knows? Thanks to Ol’ Bill Shakespeare we may end up having three or four fewer elected Republicans in government. That would be a hell of a start, wouldn’t it?
So perhaps folks on the Right need to learn from our moral and intellectual betters on the Left. Maybe it’s time to emulate rather than arbitrate. For example, what if one of our whiz-bang fashy goys on the Alt Right were to cobble together an animated video of Hillary Clinton getting gang-raped in a harem run by the Muslim “refugees” her party is so desperate to repatriate inside America? By all means, they should also invite Nancy Pelosi, Susan Rice, Loretta Lynch, Diane Feinstein, Valerie Jarrett, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and all the other female hot-to-trots of the Left. It’ll be a real party. And they shouldn’t leave out even the slightest pornographic detail, either. Get up nice and close to the action until you could almost smell it. Then slap a triple-X rating on the sucker, toss it into the fever swamps of the Right like a hand grenade, and see what happens.
Nothing but good things can come out of that, right? Heck, maybe the Right will get lucky the way the Left did on June 14th. If the Left is going to think this way, why shouldn’t we?
This all reminds me of a song called “Political Science” by Randy Newman. The song’s intent was satirical – a Cold War mockery of the chauvinistic hawks who were running American foreign policy back in the early 1970s when the song was written. Basically, the world’s nations have become so hostile to America that the Americans should just nuke all the world’s major cities and start everything over from scratch. That about sums up the song’s Kubrickian wit. Here’s a taste:
Boom goes London, and boom Paree
More room for you, and more room for me.
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We’ll set everybody free!
You’ll wear a Japanese kimono, babe,
There’ll be Italian shoes for me.
They all hate us anyhow,
So let’s drop the big one now.
Let’s drop the big one now.
I swear to God, when removed from its nuclear war context, however, this song could be taken totally straight. It’s about someone who has real responsibility being surrounded by hostile and unruly punks who don’t. And the temptation to level biblical vengeance upon them (i.e., dropping “the big one”) is getting harder and harder to resist. My favorite line:
They don’t respect us
So let’s surprise them.
We’ll drop the big one
And pulverize them.
This, I believe, neatly epitomizes our problem. The Left keeps on attacking us because they don’t respect us. They don’t respect us on the streets, they don’t respect us in the media, and they certainly don’t respect us in government. This is why Antifa feels perfectly exonerated complaining about fascism and oppression after smashing cars and breaking windows as part of their “confrontational protest tactics.” This is why mainstream journalists feel perfectly exonerated claiming to be objective while ignoring crimes which are linked to high-ranking Democrats such as Pizzagate or the highly suspicious Seth Rich murder. This is why the 2016 Democratic Vice Presidential candidate feels perfectly exonerated claiming he’s fit to lead the entire nation while encouraging his supporters to fight members of his opposing party in the street.
They don’t think the Right is strong enough to force them to be consistent.
They don’t respect us. So, let’s surprise them. Let’s drop the big one. And pulverize them.
This is turning out to be an ugly essay, isn’t it?
I’m sorry about that. I really don’t want Obama to hang in effigy or otherwise. I really don’t want Hillary and the female brass of the Democratic party to be gang-raped as cartoons or otherwise. But you know what else I don’t want?
I don’t want comediennes making statements by beheading President Trump. I don’t want stage actors assassinating him night after night in a sea of gore. I don’t want mainstream journalists giving a wink and thumbs up to this sort of behavior. I don’t want liberal bloggers mitigating mass murder by calling it a “confrontational protest tactic.” I don’t want ordinary leftists feeling that conservatives or right-wingers are now fair game for assault on the street or on campus.
The list of things I don’t want can go on and on. But I get the feeling that if I were to nicely ask people on the Left to leave us alone and respect our rights to disagree with them, they will say no. Or, more likely, they would tell me to f—k off.
Again, they don’t respect us.
It’s great that Pat Buchanan writes up a brief history of the Left’s use of political violence. It’s also great that he blames the many institutions of the Left for inciting such violence. He’s right, as usual. But what’s the point in blaming the Left for anything? Since leftists are the ones controlling morality in public discourse these days, they’re the ones who decide who gets punished for immorality. And if they violate any of these morals themselves, well, then it didn’t really happen, did it?
Again, they don’t respect us.
I think this boils down to the Left’s mistaking restraint for weakness. Unlike the Left, which is largely childish and petulant, the Right understands war. For the most part, we’re the military and the police. We understand firearms. We understand fighting. And guess what? We don’t want to do it. We don’t want to fight because once the sleeping tiger is awakened, there will be no stopping it. We understand the true price for war, and it will be devastating. And this, I am happy to say, is something the entire Right would probably agree upon, whether you’re still part normie like the Ace of Spades or full-on Alt Right like Vox Day. We’re not fighting back because we’re holding back and with good reason.
However, if things continue the way they are going, self-preservation tells us we will soon have to start fighting back in earnest. Perhaps that time has already come. If so, then the first thing we should be doing is hanging effigies of Barack Obama from trees and gang-raping cartoon versions of Hillary Clinton in videos. This would be perfectly consistent with the logic of the proxy war the Left is waging against us in the media, wouldn’t it? If so, then why aren’t we fighting back in kind?
Is there any other way?
It’s an honest question because I really don’t know the answer.
Is there any other way?

Cultural appropriation can’t
but Geographical appropriation/internationalist invasion can
All I’ll say is that languages contain the word “enemy” for a reason.
The idea that everyone can be reasoned with and is really on the same side after all is balderdash.
The left wants us all dead. Dead and gone and remembered only with a complete purity of hate, loathing, and scorn. They have no desire to find a middle ground, to compromise, to have a good laugh and be pals at the end of the day. They hate white people (even if they are white people); they hate white culture; they hate particularly those who champion these things they hate; and they will be satisfied with nothing less than our obliteration.
“Is there any other way?”
No. Absolutely not. One doesn’t extract a cancerous tumor by coddling it. It has to be violently removed – otherwise it will metastasize and grow until it kills the entire body.
We need to realize that the Left’s ideology is an abhorrent cancer which is eating away at everything decent… everything our ancestors fought and struggled for. When the time for action comes, we need to understand that there must be NO compromise… NO giving in to any of their poisonous doctrines… NO quarter. The strains on morality have been bending for decades and the whiplash effect will be devastating to the degenerates who caused it all.
Yes, instead of pursuing immediate and tangible goals like holding trumps feet to the fire on the wall, pushing for Muslims to be classified as a suspect community and refugees to be revoked right to remain, we should just shotgun our credibility, start producing democrat porn and implicitly dogwhistle for terrorism.
I have made plenty of mistakes as a writer and abused the trust readers have placed in me before through naivety and fits of silliness, sadly a similar malaise has appears to have affected you as well.
I hope that this handwringing confusion over why we are not producing obscenity (it’s beneath us) departs you soon, and you are able to write more decisively and offer insight and leadership again.
As they say in the classics.. +1
Ned Stark’s honor got him killed.
A refreshing essay. The left needs a dose of their own medicine.
The Left need a dose of OUR medicine….
The left is the jew, and the jew is brinkmanship. I.e., the poker game of power: will you blink?
The left promises justice and resources to the weak: everybody can, one way or the other identify as a weak. That´s the calculaton of the left: when push comes to shove, we have the bigger number of adherents.
In a confrontation: who is the enemy of the right? The left can recruit among women, students, workers, libertarians, and all sectors that run strongly on POCs, like low-wage labor. Can we eliminate them all, i.e. are we ready to do so? What if they do acts of sabotage, huge damage while they may lose at most a few perpetrators?
So any war of the Right has to make clear what the future model will be. Which is it? Who will want to associate with it?
So with a perspective to totally smash the country: will the Right have the nerve to start the war?
But if we don´t, the left will wear us down, step by step, like the last 50 years, the boiling-frog model.
So will we be able to pull the trigger? Do we have the vision for the time after? So that we´ll have the perseverance, and the conviction, in the grand destruction, and the following?
And these are best-case scenarios where the majority of the Whites are ready to fight. It may be only a minority. And we´ll have the deep state against us with tons of weapons. They can, and will, crash the infrastructure, electricity, water, supply chains, eventually simply by pulling the plug on the financial system. The deep state will incite foreign intervention. The military will have to decide if they let us keep fighting or establish a repressive order, the old order. Etc. etc.
Who has the nerve to pull the trigger for all that?
So… in the sense of some urgency that may very well be much more given, regarding a coup, than we might like to believe… I throw in my idea for catchwords for a future order.
It´s simple: self-determination.
Because what is actually the opposite of communism, what is the problem of communism or rather “communism” and equality or “equaltiy”: that it is DICTATORSHIP! That´s the problem with their aspired system. To call it communism and equality is pure fraudulent labeling. Because… there´s nothing wrong with equality: in the Volksgemeinschaft, we are equal, we are all part of the big family and have the full solidarity and support. Which doesn´t preclude hierarchy. So: people agree with equality because they feel it´s right but what is in the jewterrorleft´s package with the label “equality” is dictatorship, not equality, not familial togetherness!
The next thing is of-course the financial system. Also easy: it needs to be work-based, work-“backed” instead of gold- or commodity-backed. That avoids the fractional-reserve fraud, and it allows to oscillate, doesn´t have the inherent pressure to expand forever (until the inevitable collapse).
And thirdly: competing systems, systems as display windows. Let them have their Orwellian dystopia, and put next to it our White Republic. That, of-course, for the moment is a thought-experiment but that is exactly what we have to run with! It´s the approach: look at White countries, White cities, White culture, compare with moh-, african-, socialist places. This must drive the point home; if it doesn´t, we lose rightfully. But White flight and self-segregation show that this is understood by a wide majority who is only shut up by the PC police.
To sum up:
a)self-determination (freedom)
b)non-fraudulent monetary system
c)choice for the White country when being obliged to make a choice
This can be set against the leftist´s catchwords, and it should be the attractive choice. That´s what we have to run with, IMO… because time is running out.
And please note: we do NOT need fascist dictatorship. That may be the tool of choice at war; but it is not the perspective for the White Republic. Whites don´t favor dictatorship. Drop this meme!
A very true article. We know exactly where this is leading, which is why so few of us are keen to jump start it.
The Left doesn’t know what they’re asking for, and they won’t right up until we start giving it to them.
and Right and Left are not American concepts – but European. They came over with the Bolsheviks, other Jews and other Europeans through Ellis Island. Now- like monkeys our thinking becomes adulterated and colonized through that language. and that isn’t good or a good influence for us.
the just plain right.
The blacks that got lynched back in the day were accused of serious crimes (like the horrific ones they commit now). The lynchings were vigilante justice. They didn’t mess around back in the day, especially in the South. But they have the dumb people thinking the Klan was just grabbing people off the street for no reason.
In the next generation they will have the young thinking all murders done by blacks, against each other, were actually done by the police. They will believe it, and right wing, or other sensible people, will get into shouting matches to convince them otherwise.
