THE DIVINE COMEDY Library edition

To the left is the cover for Book 4 of the Castalia Library, THE DIVINE COMEDY, which is based on medieval maps of Dante’s cosmography. The edition is 612 pages and features the 1867 translation of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow as well as illustrations adapted by Tamburn Bindery from woodcuts in the Venetian edition of 1497. We have also included the six Italian-form sonnets that Longfellow, inspired by his translation of Dante’s masterwork, wrote to accompany his translation, the first of which follows:

Oft have I seen at some cathedral door 
A laborer, pausing in the dust and heat, 
Lay down his burden, and with reverent feet 
Enter, and cross himself, and on the floor 
Kneel to repeat his paternoster o’er; 
Far off the noises of the world retreat; 
The loud vociferations of the street 
Become an undistinguishable roar.
So, as I enter here from day to day, 
And leave my burden at this minster gate, 
Kneeling in prayer, and not ashamed to pray, 
The tumult of the time disconsolate 
To inarticulate murmurs dies away, 
While the eternal ages watch and wait.

How strange the sculptures that adorn these towers!
This crowd of statues, in whose folded sleeves
Birds build their nests; while canopied with leaves
Parvis and portal bloom like trellised bowers, 
And the vast minster seems a cross of flowers!
But ^ends and dragons on the gargoyled eaves 
Watch the dead Christ between the living thieves, 
And, underneath, the traitor Judas lowers!
Ah! from what agonies of heart and brain, 
What exultations trampling on despair, 
What tenderness, what tears, what hate of wrong, 
What passionate outcry of a soul in pain, 
Uprose this poem of the earth and air, 
This mediæval miracle of song!

To the right is the cover of the Libraria Castalia edition. It was our goal to distinguish this edition of THE DIVINE COMEDY from both editions published by the Franklin Library as well as the edition published by Easton Press, and the general consensus on SocialGalactic is that we succeeded. If you wish to join our campaign to preserve Western civilization and subscribe to the Castalia Library, you can do so here. The current volume is Plutarch’s THE LIVES OF THE GREEKS AND ROMANS, VOL. I.

In other Library news, we will be offering the remaining copies of THE MISSIONARIES and MEDITATIONS at the retail price of $150 later this week. The Library edition of AWAKE IN THE NIGHT LAND will be shipping to subscribers next week; the Libraria editions are awaiting the arrival of the goatskins at the bindery and are anticipated to ship the last week of September.


Who needs the police?

If police are not going to shoot the arsonists, looters, and rioters, eventually someone will:

Kenosha Police said early Wednesday morning that two people had been shot and killed and a third injured during protests over the shooting of Jacob Blake; authorities were looking for a man armed with a long gun.

Earlier Wednesday, Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that one victim had been shot in the head and another in the chest late Tuesday, just before midnight. Beth didn’t know where the other person was shot, but video posted on social media showed someone had been shot in the arm.

The incident occurred at about 11:45 p.m. in the area of  63rd Street and Sheridan Road, Kenosha police said.

I saw the video on Twitter. It was a clear-cut case of self-defense, regardless of what side the guy with the rifle is on. He was running away from a pack of armed people chasing him, stumbled and fell down, then shot the three people who caught up to him and attacked him when he was on the ground. Notice that the attacker who was shot in the arm had a pistol on him.

What struck me the most about this is that the BLM rioters appear to genuinely believe that no one is going to use any force against them. That’s why they are blithely ignoring the fact that the police and some of the other people they are attacking are armed. You would think that this incident would help convince them otherwise, but it probably won’t, considering their immediate reaction to shots being fired.

Rioter was just shot in the head tonight in #Kenosha
Rioters helping screamed “call the cops! call the police!”

Decry the violence all you like, signal your virtue to your heart’s content, but this is what a multiracial, multicultural society looks like. It’s little more than a constant, violent struggle for power over everyone else. And remember, the reason they’re so desperate to demonize nationalism is because Nationalists who actually bother to show up and fight usually win.

If the local authorities want to stop the violence, all they have to do is issue an order publicly authorizing the use of lethal force to defend property. The rioters will give up after a few more of them are shot dead and it becomes obvious that those defending their homes and businesses will not face any charges for doing so.


Four more years

Surprisingly, even some of the most stupid and submissive whites are finally showing a little spine:

The group crowded Victor’s table, with two female demonstrators leaning down and shouting in her face.

‘Are you a Christian?’ one of the women shout, outraged by the fact Victor was unwilling to raise her fist in solidarity.

‘No justice, no peace!’ the large group of activists then start yelling.

Ironically, Victor is a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement and has participated in many marches, but didn’t want to be ‘coerced’ into showing support. ‘In the moment, it didn’t feel right,’ she stated. ‘I wasn’t actually frightened. I didn’t think they’d do anything to me. I’m very much with them. I’ve been marching with them for weeks and weeks and weeks.’

Many on Twitter took issue with the race of the Black Lives Matter protesters accosting Victor.

Almost all of those seen in the video were white, with several people accusing the activists of undermining the positive work that black organizers have been doing in recent months.

‘I see no black faces at all. These dopes will ruin this movement for all of us,’ African-American TV anchor Derek McGinty wrote.

Others stated that it would turn people away from supporting the movement. ‘You don’t win supporters by screaming in people’s faces and intimidating them. How many people have watched this video and been turned off? Is it about making a real change or just ego gratification?

Another bluntly theorized: ‘This gives Trump four more years.’

Black Lives Matter has been the most useful element in the inevitable transformation of the Republican Party into the American Party since the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles. It’s finally beginning to dawn upon US whites what their minority status will actually mean for the nature of the society in which they live.

It won’t be too many years before nice liberal suburban whites will be begging the police, the National Guard, and armed local militias to not only open fire on the roving POX mobs that are threatening them in their homes and workplaces, but to go on the offensive and root out their urban strongholds. After all, the whole point of suburbia was to escape the POX and achieve practical segregation by automobile without being accused of racism. Because good schools….

You simply cannot have a neo-European society that is composed of non-Europeans anymore than you can have a Japanese society sans Japanese people. The dirt isn’t magic.


Ain’t diversity grand?

Kenosha, Wisconsin discovers the joys of a diverse and vibrant population:

On Monday night, rioters in Kenosha, Wisconsin spread their civil unrest from primarily urban and commercial centers, to residential areas.

And the residents in those areas were having none of it.

Shortly after midnight, a group of demonstrators got in their cars and traveled to a residential neighborhood where they parked in a grassy area across from a row of houses. As they began exiting their vehicles, a homeowner emerged from his house and began firing warning shots at the rioters.

The would-be rioters began to flee as the man fired several more shots. In another incident, a group of rioters attacked and burned several local businesses in an area near a residential neighborhood.

Sooner or later, whites in the USA are going to figure out that their problem isn’t an excess of racism, but a severe shortage of it. It might not be a bad idea for Christians to recall that while racism isn’t a sin, lying most certainly is.


He has to go back

The point is not that no immigrant can ever successfully make a new home in a foreign land. The point is that no immigrant can do that and retain any semblance of his former nationality, and the more that his identity remains unchanged, the less viable his residence will be over time.

I encountered a panelist by the name of Stefanos. Stefanos is a member of the Greek Orthodox Church in Australia, and from what I understood his parents were Greek immigrants to Australia. Thus, under the auspices of civic nationalism, Stefanos considers himself to be Australian.

Why not? He was born in Australia, he grew up in Australia, he even speaks with a sort of Australian accent. Ipso facto, he must be Australian.

During the Q&A session he asked me what he could do to help further the cause of Australian nationalism. With total sincerity I replied that the very best thing he could do would be to go back to Greece and help defend his native country from the waves of invaders that are even now breaking against its scattered hundreds of islands.

This didn’t go down too well….

Not a decade after the war ended, the decision was made in Australia without the consensus of the Australian people, the native Australian people mind you, to bring in tens of thousands of Greek immigrants, among others. And now, 70 years later, we are told by the offspring of those Greeks that Australia belongs to Europe.

This is why you do not let in immigrants in large numbers. And you do not let them vote. And you certainly do not let them stand for parliament. The greatest criminal in the history of Australia was Al Grassby. Not only that, but you do not let their descendants vote for at least four generations. Only then can you be reasonably sure that they have been adsorbed into the native population.

During the Q&A, Stefanos stated with great confidence that the recent Indian and Asian arrivals to the country were not Australians. It is a quite startling case of not seeing the wood for the trees. But in another 70 years, the descendants of those recent arrivals will think the same way as Stefanos. Australia belongs to Asia, or something along those lines.

As long as you, your children, or your great-great-great grandchildren retain any shred of attachment to your home nation, you cannot be considered anything but a guest, at best. And even if your descendants have successfully integrated in every cultural aspect, your DNA will remain different. Four generations will not be enough if the children of immigrants are marrying other children of immigrants. A hyphen does not indicate a subset, but rather, a negation. If you are a Greek-Australian, you are not Australian and you never will be.

Civic nationalism is not a genuine form of nationalism, it is nothing more than bureaucratic statism in nationalist clothing.

While many nations can benefit from a very small amount of hybrid vigor, the key word there is “small”. If the logic of the globalists remains in effect, in another 250 years or so, the globe will be divided between the Han and the Indians while every other nation is effectively eliminated through subsumption.


Big Bear wins a big one

The Legal Legion continues to #crush. More about this on the Darkstream tonight.

UPDATE: Dear Gammas. You can’t force a reset on my Unauthorized password by requesting it. I know it looks like you can, but you can’t. And yes, we anticipated you would try that.

UPDATE: Oh, Sweet Saint Justinian. I’m told those morons on Reddit actually think that the Bears’ arbitrations were dismissed as well as Owen’s. Not only were those 90+ arbitrations not dismissed, not only are they not frivolous, but every single one of them is likely to be found to be in default as per the recent US District Court ruling in Dekker, and at least 72 of them are almost certain to be awarded damages due to Patreon’s catastrophic decision to twice violate its own Terms of Use and its waiver of group action.


Where do all these betrayers come from?

As one of Melania’s “friends” writes a book about her private conversations, Anonymous Conservative explains how all of these problematic people just happen to have people in their lives who not only have no personal loyalty to them, but just happen to have been making recordings of their conversations from the start:

Once you are isolated, then they can send in their people, briefed on your likes and dislikes, and arrange a chance meeting. Knowing just how to click with you, suddenly you have a friend. And once that friend is there, they can bring in others. And if they want you on tape saying something specific, look at how they can arrange circumstances….

Not everyone will get that treatment, but if you intend to succeed and begin to succeed at your intention, It is going to happen to you. Just look at how many people around Trump were recording covertly, that we have heard about. There was his fucking lawyer of all people, Cohen, the niece with the book, Omarosa, the Access Hollywood crew, this one, almost Rosenstein, the FBI, the CIA, and probably multiple agents from them. And I’ll bet there were three of four for every one of those, at least, who never managed to get anything useful and you haven’t heard about them. It is not a coincidence all of these people and more were running tape on Trump and his family. That is what it is like to be the target of Cabal’s intelligence operations. If you aspire to exert influence, understand it is not unlikely that your “friends” were sent in to work against you. If fact, it is probably more than likely.

This is why it is vital to speak exactly the same truth in your personal life that you do in your public one. It is also why you should never, ever, let your guard down when speaking with anyone, no matter how strongly they’ve backed you or how enthusiastically they’ve supported you. Especially these days of the Panaudiocon, when even the televisions and computers, to say nothing of Alexa and Siri, are actively listening to everyone, it is simply necessary to discipline your tongue in all circumstances.

In East Germany, 620,000 people worked undercover for the secret state police. That’s 3.8 percent of the population; the US equivalent is 12.3 million. Now ask yourself this question: what are the chances that none of those social surveillance agents are paying any attention to a confirmed dissident and thought criminal like you?

Keep your old friends. And keep a polite, but firm, distance from everyone else, especially those who want to become your new best friend.


Build your own platforms

Sam Francis saw it first, according to the Z-Man

A long time ago, Sam Francis pointed out that Conservatism was likely to fail as a political movement, because it was engaging in formal politics. In order to engage in formal politics, it had to accept the rules of politics and the process of creating those rules. Inevitably, conservatism would be assimilated into the system they set out to oppose. Go back and read the early conservatives. Listen to a Reagan speech from the 60’s. They are unrecognizable relative to the modern conservative.

The fact that Francis was correct has always stuck with me. Everyone that takes on the system directly is destroyed and made into a useful example by the system. Everyone that tried to work the system is assimilated and turned against its original mission. There have been no exceptions.

The logical first step toward an alternative approach is accepting the reality of the past. It means “doing something” outside the system. The first step in building a genuine alternative is to turn your back on the system and stop reacting to it.

The irony, of course, is that most post-conservatives, including the Z-Man, attack everyone who actually attempts to build any alternatives to the mainstream system as a “grifter”. Apparently you’re supposed to build your own platforms, but somehow do it without any resources and provide the end product to everyone for free.

Granted, it’s a different strategy for losing, but it’s still a strategy for losing.


The state of production

  1. If you don’t enjoy the heavy comment moderation on VP, please keep in mind that we’re getting 600 spam comments for every 100 real comments. The spam assault seriously ramped up about two weeks ago. All comments are held for review and approval now, since Blogger’s ability to detect spam is roughly equivalent to a toddler’s ability to grasp that the creepy man with the windowless van offering him candy and a puppy does not have his best interests at heart.
  2. Junior Classics 1-3 (hardcover, ebook) are expected to ship by the end of October. We’re shooting to get 4-6 out before Christmas. The leather editions will be done as a set once the regular hardcovers are shipped. The hardcover illustrations will NOT be color, as color doesn’t look as good as b/w on the high-quality archival paper.
  3. We’re considering doing an Indiegogo campaign for MIDNIGHT’S WAR in September after Indiegogo requested that we put together a campaign. Details on SocialGalactic. Feel free to discuss here.
  4. CDA 1-12 is written and illustrated. AH is written and illustrated through issue 7. AHQ is written through 1-6 and illustrated through issue 4. The RPG rules are done, need to have graphics added. The figure is designed, but I’m not happy with the face, so it needs to be refined.
  5. The cover for THE DIVINE COMEDY is boss. We will show it off soon. The interior for PLUTARCH VOL. I is done and the interior for the second volume will be done soon. The designers just began work on the matching covers.
  6. I have about 50k words left to write on ASOS.

The Trumpslide grows

NBC/WSJ poll

Whites with college degrees
58 – Biden
35 – Trump

Whites without college degrees
27 – Biden
59 – Trump

This closely approximates my projected vote shares, which forecasts Trump winning by an electoral college landslide. Trump will win the biggest margin amongst white working class since Harry Truman in 1948. (Not coincidentally, the worst ever polling in any campaign was 1948).
Election analyst Robert Barnes

Contrary to the ignorant assumptions of the educated indoctrinated, who assume that because everyone they know has a college degree, everyone does, only 21 percent of non-Hispanic Whites possess at least a bachelor’s degree.

In other words, the white vote presently looks like this, which is why the media is presenting it in such a convoluted and meaningless form. Of course, most of the missing 10 percent will go to Trump as well, so he can expect to take about two-thirds of the white vote, which is still more than enough to generate a massive Trumpslide given the concentration of the not-white vote.

54  – Trump
36  – Biden

This is why I’ve been recommending that the Republicans change their name to the American Party and end all their futile outreach efforts to not-white voters for over ten years. US politics are now little more than demographics.
