Remembering P. R. Stephensen:
November 20, 1901–May 28, 1965

Greg Johnson

P. R. Stephensen, circa 1934

237 words

Percy Reginald Stephensen was born on November 20, 1901. Stephensen was a writer, publisher, and political activist dedicated to the interests of the white race and the Australian nation. Like Jack London, Stephensen was an archetypal man of the racially conscious Left. He began his political career as a Communist but later moved to the nationalistic, anti-Semitic Right. From 1942 to 1945, he was interned without trial for his pro-German and pro-Japanese sympathies.

Mad as Hell:
How Broadway Ruined Network

Jef Costello

5,521 words

When asked to name my favorite film, I have a tough time choosing between Fight Club and Network. I was delighted, therefore, when I learned that Network had been turned into a Broadway play starring Bryan Cranston of Breaking Bad. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, everything, as it turned out.

Libertarianism, Cosmopolitanism, & Indo-European Tradition, Part II

Gregoire Canlorbe

A Swedish tapestry from the twelfth century showing Odin, Thor with his war hammer, and Freyr with stalks of wheat. Scholars believe this reflects the traditional tripartite division of Indo-European societies.

Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here)

The national-liberalism of 1789 in the face of the Indo-European tradition

The Indo-European tradition, which some people present as Tradition tout court, is the tradition of a tripartite and hierarchical organization of society, where the sovereign function (which relates to the spiritual sovereignty of the priesthood and to the political sovereignty of the sovereign) takes precedence over the military function, which in turn takes precedence over the productive and reproductive function.

Remembering René Guénon:
November 15, 1886–January 7, 1951

Greg Johnson

303 words

René Guénon was born on November 15, 1886. Along with Julius Evola, Guénon was one of the leading figures in the Traditionalist school, which has deeply influenced my own outlook and the metapolitical mission and editorial agenda of Counter-Currents Publishing and North American New Right. (For a sense of my differences with Guénon, see my lecture on “Vico and the New Right.”)

Some Indecorous Thoughts on the Impending Demise of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Spencer J. Quinn

Justice Ginsburg at Justice Kavanaugh’s swearing in.

1,886 words

I had a talk recently about current events with a cuckservative friend of mine. He’s a Trump supporter, but not a particularly enthusiastic one. He recognizes that these days, all the good sense is found on the Right and all the crazy on the Left. But at heart, he’s a libertarian, and quickly gets prickly whenever I bring up race. So, usually, I don’t.

When the topic of Jewish Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s recent fall, in which she fractured three ribs, came up, I made the offhand comment that I wished the old bird would die already. Read more …

Dustin Chinn:
Another #AngryAsians Playwright

Max West

Dustin Chinn: part of the #AngryAsians trend

2,288 words

The #AngryAsians motif continually fascinates, especially given their relatively well-to-do economic position in our “white supremacist” society, and the proliferation of plays and other writings by them that villainize, ostracize, and “Other-ize” white people has become an identifiable trend. Snowflakes, or Rare White People can be added to this list, a supposed comedy by New York City-based playwright Dustin Chinn, which is currently being workshopped at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Daniel Greenfield of FrontPage Magazine has an interesting take on the Jewish response to the tragic Tree of Life synagogue massacre last month.

Father Coughlin, Ralph Ingersoll, & the War Against Social Justice

Father Coughlin

1,815 words

The public career of Rev. Charles E. Coughlin during the 1930s and early ‘40s is massively documented. Newsreels, publications, speeches, and broadcast recordings are all at your fingertips online. Yet the historical significance of this Canadian-American prelate (1891-1979) is maddeningly elusive. You may have read that he was an immensely popular but controversial “radio priest” with a decidedly populist-nationalist bent, or that he published a weekly magazine called Social Justice (1936-1942), Read more …

Chuck Palahniuk’s Choke

Howe Abbott-Hiss

1,692 words

Choke (2008)
Written & directed by Clark Gregg
Starring Sam Rockwell, Anjelica Huston, Kelly Macdonald, & Brad William Henke

Chuck Palahniuk, most recently the author of the ethnostate satire Adjustment Day and known mainly for Fight Club, inspired another feature film with his 2001 novel, Choke. The 2008 film of the same name focuses on sex addiction, a timely subject in the current era of spiritual emptiness, which is one of Palahniuk’s recurrent themes. Intentionally or not, this dark comedy serves to repel the viewer from sexual deviance more effectively than any Christian sermon about sin. Read more …

The War Movie

Morris V. de Camp

4,780 words

While Western expansion in the United States really started when English settlers travelled overland from Massachusetts to Connecticut in 1635, a true film of the Western genre is only set west of the 100th meridian in the years between the Confederate surrender at Appomattox and the coronation of Edward VII. While warfare has existed since time immemorial, a true War Movie is only set between 1933 and 1945, during the time of Hitler and the Second World War.

The Tyrannical Essence of Liberalism

Hewitt E. Moore

Megyn Kelly & Don Lemon in happier times. One still has a career.

1,167 words

The problem that arises when you’re the greatest nation in the history of the world is that there’s no real problems to deal with. There’s no war. Anybody who wants a job can get one. Nobody starves to death. Everybody has access to medical care. Even beggars can make six figures a year.

But happily ever after breeds complacency. Once people get what they want, they tend to want something else. So, if life is good, and there’s no legitimate problems in paradise, abstract ones are created in La-La Land. Read more …

Robert Heinlein’s novel Starship Troopers is a genre-defining classic of science fiction. First published in 1959, Heinlein’s work is audacious in propounding aristocratic militarism, will-to-power, social inequality, and contempt for liberal and mercantile values. Starship Troopers describes the path of a young man, Johnny Rico, from uncertain recruit to achieving the rank of Field Officer in an interstellar war against the “Bugs,” a species of giant arachnids.
