Announcing Alt-Hero #1: CRACKDOWN… the print edition

From the transcript of the Darkstream: Alt-Hero #1 is now in print!

I’m actually here to talk about something much more interesting and much more exciting in my opinion, and that is something that numerous people claimed was never going to happen. And what that is is the release of Alt★Hero #1 in a print edition no less.

So this is something that’s been a long time in coming. We started working on this back, I think really about a year ago. We didn’t do the we didn’t do the Kickstarter, the Freestartr campaign until I believe it was October, but we were preparing for it before then. And so it’s incredibly satisfying to be able to announce that not only have we printed and published Alt★Hero #1, but it is now actually available for order from Castalia Books Direct. It should be available via Amazon within about a week, and I would guess that within two or three days you can go to your local Barnes & Noble, you can go to your local bookstore and find it.

The one place that you’re not going to be able to find it yet is the comic book stores because we  aven’t started that campaign yet and we’re not going to start that campaign until the first volume of Chuck Dixon’s Avalon is ready to go.

The video also contains an initial look at two related releases that are coming very soon, releases which may be of interest to both European readers and anyone who is studying certain languages. These initial print editions are, as can be seen from the video, gold logo editions which are available from all outlets until they run out. I will make an announcement when that happens.

UPDATE: Issue #1 is now also available on Amazon.



Politics trumps money

Keep this incident in mind the next time some moron tries to tell you that Corporate America wouldn’t do something because it would cost them money:

ABC, in a stunning move, has decided to cancel its Roseanne revival following star Roseanne Barr’s racist tweet Tuesday.

“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said Tuesday.

Early Tuesday, star, head writer and exec producer Barr attacked Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to former President Barack Obama, in a since-deleted tweet in which she said “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.” Barr subsequently apologized: “I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me — my joke was in bad taste.”

Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger also weighed in on the decision to cancel Roseanne: “There was only one thing to do here, and that was the right thing,” he tweeted.

Showrunner Bruce Helford added in a statement of his own: “On behalf of all the writers and producers, we worked incredibly hard to create an amazing show. I was personally horrified and saddened by the comments and in no way do they reflect the values of the people who worked so hard to make this the iconic show that it is.”

Barr’s tweet prompted a massive outcry across social media, with thousands condeming the actress-comedian’s comments and calling on ABC to cancel her series. The Disney-owned network’s decision to cancel the comedy marked the first time the network has taken action in response to one of Barr’s controversial tweets.

Axing the Roseanne revival was no small decision for ABC. The rebooted comedy debuted its nine-episode run midseason and finished as the TV season’s No. 1 scripted series on all of broadcast. Roseanne had been averaging a 5.5 rating among adults 18-49 and 19.3 million viewers with live-plus-3 lifts. With a full week of time-shifting, those numbers climbed to a 6.4 rating in the key demo and 22.1 million viewers. Either way, Roseanne was the highest-rated and most watched series of the broadcast season, eclipsing NBC’s This Is Us and CBS’ Big Bang Theory — which had been in a heated battle for top status.

The SJWs now running Corporate America will throw away tens of millions of dollars in order to virtue-signal against a single tweet. That is the new reality. That is the corporate cancer.


Crisis in Italy

The anti-democratic Eurocratic debacle in Italy is already driving significant popular support to Matteo Salvini and La Lega:

I 5Stelle perdono consenso in particolare tra l’elettorato di sinistra. Ma ci sono anche consensi in fuga verso la Lega. Matteo Salvini scavalla anche la soglia del 25{434e4795edb8718426f2262f16bc350bda72304c69f2c22d1de5754882bdf177} e ora è a solo due punti dal M5s che al contrario delle Lega continua a perdere consensi. A sinistra e anche a destra. Per la Swg se si votasse oggi la Lega avrebbe il 27,5{434e4795edb8718426f2262f16bc350bda72304c69f2c22d1de5754882bdf177} dei voti, quasi dieci punti sopra il 17,4{434e4795edb8718426f2262f16bc350bda72304c69f2c22d1de5754882bdf177} del 4 marzo. Il M5s invece scenderebbe al 29,5{434e4795edb8718426f2262f16bc350bda72304c69f2c22d1de5754882bdf177}, dal 32,7. La Lega è in grande spolvero per tutti i sondaggisti che per altro non credono alleanza Lega-M5s in chiave elettorale. Convinti che alla fine Matteo Salvini si presenterà alle prossime elezioni con il centrodestra, dato oltre il 40{434e4795edb8718426f2262f16bc350bda72304c69f2c22d1de5754882bdf177}. Quindi in grado di formare un governo con Matteo Salvini premier e erede politico di Silvio Berlusconi. 

The Movimento 5 Stelle is losing support, particularly on the left of the electorate. But some of its support is also moving to La Lega. 

Matteo Salvini has now also reached the 25 percent threshold and is now only two points away from 5 Stelle, which, unlike the Lega, continues to lose support on the left  as well as on the right. According to the SWG, if the vote was today, La Lega would win 27.5 percent of the votes, more than ten points above the 17.4 percent it won in March. Movimento 5 Stelle would fall to 29.5 percent, down from 32.7. La Lega is expected to do well by all the pollsters who do not believe in the viability of the alliance between La Lega and 5 Stelle; they are convinced that Matteo Salvini will present himself at the next elections with the center-right and win over 40 percent of the vote. This will permit the Right to form a government with Matteo Salvini as the premier and political heir of Silvio Berlusconi.

This would mean that instead of a Left-Right euroskeptic alliance in power, the nationalist Right would take power directly. Of course, Salvini would be well-advised to throw a few bones to M5S in order to keep them from being tempted to get back in bed with the Eurofascists. But it’s much too soon to even think about this, as Renzi is trying to worm his way back into power, there are discussions of impeaching Mattarella, and the general consensus is that a speedy new election would be the best way to settle the affair.


Vote Right, Vote White

Heartiste and John Derbyshire sum up US politics in 2018:

Personally, I don’t relish a society structured solely around identity politics. It’s gauche, claustrophobic, miserably stressful, and a mockery of the transcendent. But damned if I’m gonna idly sit by as every other group looks out for themselves at my group’s expense. That’s a suicide pact. But the only way out of this inevitability is to restore Whites to demographic primacy in their homelands, from which perch Whites can safely and confidently eschew identity politics without risk of parasitic infection. My idea of a great country to live in: One that’s so explicitly homogeneous that these implicit identity conundrums never need addressing.
– Heartiste

While the Democratic Party is committed to anti-white positions, that swelling number of anti-anti-white whites is electoral gold for the Republican Party. Whether the Republican Party—also commonly known, let me remind you, as the Stupid Party—has enough sense and skill to mine that gold, is an open question. There are some hopeful signs from the White House, although that is of course not the same thing as the Republican Party.
– John Derbyshire

The civic nationalists, the neocons, the neoliberals, and the self-professed colorblind are all totally irrelevant now. Some of them don’t quite realize it yet, although even the most stubborn civic nationalists can clearly sense the ground shifting under their feet given their increasingly desperate rhetoric.

This isn’t Italy, where a new party can explode onto the scene and into government in two election cycles. The US has a strict two-party system, and one party is the Diversity Party which is resolutely and relentlessly anti-White. To oppose them is to be objectively pro-White, and no amount of self-deception or attempting to avoid the inescapable is going to conceal that.

Because Diversity always favors the Left, in the US context, there is no difference between voting Right and voting White. While they are not conceptually the same thing, they are functionally, practically, and materially the same thing in the current US political context. Accepting this political reality will be vital to constructing a winning electoral strategy in 2020.

There are no identity politics in Japan because Japan is Japanese. There are no identity politics in China because China is Chinese. Identity politics are the unavoidable reality in any polity that is foolish enough to allow demographic diversity and the only solution to them is to reduce the diversity to statistically insignificant levels.

These ideas aren’t even remotely new. Both Steve Sailer and I have been writing about it for a long time. It’s just that reality has finally caught up to the situation that we saw developing and what was inevitable is now the obvious, and is rapidly becoming the undeniable.


Death-by-diversity in Belgium

Three Belgians, including two police officers, are fatally diversified in Liege:

Two police officers and a civilian have been shot dead by a man reportedly shouting Allahu Akbar, which led to a hostage situation at a high school in east Belgium.

The unnamed man opened fire in the centre of the city of Liege, at around 10.30am local time, after being stopped by officers for a routine document check. He killed two officers, a female bystander in a car, and injured a third officer. The man then reportedly took a female cleaner hostage inside the nearby secondary school, before being shot dead himself by an elite police unit.

Two other police officers were reported “seriously wounded”.  I wonder how long the police and the militaries of Europe are going to accept this situation. We’ve reached a point where Duterte-style death squads and military coups are beginning to look preferable to the fake democracy of the neo-liberal “open society” that is imposing death-by-diversity on everyone.

UPDATE: The killer was armed with a knife, attacked a pair of policewomen, took their guns, then killed them and the bystander, who was actually a 22-year-old man. Clearly the 2nd Amendment and white male patriarchy is to blame. The lesson: Diversity + Feminism = Dead White Women.

I’m just encouraged that politicians like Theresa May are calling the terrorist a coward. That will totally dissuade future attackers.


Darkstream: Tommy Robinson and the death of EU democracy

I’m still working on getting out the livestreaming kinks. This was all just inexperienced user error; I forgot that without my headset on, I couldn’t hear the audio track of the Wilders video but the viewers could, and I talked over it. Then I loaded the wrong Stefan clip, which was much longer than the one I had cut, and trying to stop it caused the streaming software to freeze on my end. But we soldiered on anyhow. Also, I forgot to retitle the stream before I started it, hence some of the earlier confusion on the part of those watching live. It’s a learning process.

I think is important to observe here who is speaking out about this and who isn’t. Okay, where are the big, self-appointed champions of free speech in this? Have we heard Ben Shapiro say anything yet? Have we heard Jordan Peterson use his big microphone in order to champion the cause of Tommy Robinson, or at the very least, to protest what is happening with regards to the British media’s gag order?

Now contra what you guys might think, I’m not obsessed with these guys, I have no idea what they’ve said on the subject, but I know enough about them to guess that they’re not going to say anything, because when push comes to shove, they are more concerned about eliminating and eradicating nationalism than they are in championing the free speech that they claim to support.

Now the problem is actually much much bigger than what Tommy Robinson is facing, or than the British media is facing. A lot of you may not realize this, but in Italy two nationalist parties recently dominated the most recent Italian election, Movimento Cinque Stelle, which is of the Left, and La Liga which is led by Matteo Salvini, is of the Right, and between the two of them they have an absolute majority in the Italian parliament. (Combined, they hold 69.7 percent of the seats.) In fact La Liga has a has a very powerful position there, they’re one of the more powerful parliamentary parties in Europe at the moment, (with 37 percent of the seats) but what was remarkable was that the Italian President managed to interfere with the formation of a government and the sole reason that he stood in the way and prevented the formation of a government was because he wanted to keep a 81-year-old Euroskeptic out of the Finance Ministry.

So what that tells us is that all of the professed ideals of the European Union, all the various claims to democracy and so forth are entirely false. It all comes down to power and money, you know, the European Union is doing whatever it can to silence people like Tommy Robinson, they’re doing as much as they can to keep the public from finding out what’s really going on, but most of all they are absolutely desperate to protect the single currency because the single currency is what makes all of the banking games and all of the shenanigans and everything possible.

And so it’s important to understand that these games that they’re playing are just that, they’re games. They have no moral high ground and they have absolutely not a single democratic leg to stand on. You know, as is so common with intellectual charlatans throughout the world, and throughout history, what they play is the game of bait and switch, they play the game of changing the very clear and well-understood definition of terms, so now what we see is that democracy no longer means “the will of the people” it now means the approved will of the Neo-liberal World Order.

You see all these claims that the US has to defend democracy but if the US is going to defend  democracy it should be invading Europe again.


And conservatives are supposed to care?

To whom does this woman think she is going to appeal for help? Conservatives and Christians have been relentlessly driven out of academia for the last 50 years!

A former University of Maryland professor is preparing for a legal battle against school administrators who she claims discriminated against her over a trip to Israel.

Dr. Melissa Landa, a Jewish professor who worked in the Education Department at UMD until last June, claims that her contract was not renewed by administrators due to discrimination against her pro-Israel beliefs and her stance against the “Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions” (BDS) movement.

“Once my involvement with Israel became political, that is when things started to change.” 

According to its official website, the BDS movement claims to work “to end international support for Israel’s oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law.”

In a video published on her website, Landa, who has been vocal regarding anti-Semitic, pro-Palestine movements, argues that her active stance contributed to her being “ostracized” by colleagues and eventually dismissed from the university. Landa also alleges that the acts taken against her are not unique, and are just one example of the “one-sided” administration that she believes are biased toward the BDS movement.

“Across the country, Jewish professors and Jewish students are being intimidated and silenced for their opposition to the BDS movement,” Landa states in the video. “This must stop.”

I, for one, couldn’t care less about Jewish professors and Jewish students being driven out of academia across the West. This is isn’t just the future they wanted, this is the very future they demanded. To paraphrase Thomas More, they cut down the trees of academic freedom and now there is nothing to protect them from the devil that is coming for them.

Clearly, these strategic cretins have learned absolutely nothing from the predictable consequences of their actions, given that the astonishingly stupid response to the growing popularity of the BDS movement has been to launch an organized attack on the 1st Amendment rights of Americans. Even Americans who don’t care about Israel one way or the other are going to be supporting BDS soon.

Willem Griffioen, Executive Director of the Israel Allies Foundation (IAF) issued the following statement in response to Governor Haley’s signing of H 3583.

“We applaud the State of South Carolina for making H 3583 the law and delivering a historic piece of pro-Israel legislation in doing so.  The timing and importance of this groundbreaking legislation cannot be overstated. It was truly an honor for our organization to contribute our expertise and educational resources to this effort.”

“Our work on this issue has only just begun. IAF’s team of experts have merged South Carolina’s H 3583 with Illinois’ SB 1761 into one piece of model legislation. IAF has now proven its preparedness to help lead the legislative battle against the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement (BDS) in all fifty states. We are offering all of the supporting resources legislators need to accomplish this important point of public policy. IAF is pleased to announce that a bloc of sponsors across 18 states has already committed to introducing similar legislation in their next legislative cycle.”

This is “Ground Campaign Against Russia”-level political stupidity.


The fork in the road

Bruce Charlton has an epiphany while reviewing a book:

There is a lesson to be learned here. Lachman’s previous stance was broadly ‘agnostic’ – at least, that was the perspective from which his books were written. He seems like a decent kind of man, worked hard, wrote clearly, did useful stuff…

Yet it was always clear that Lachman shared the mainstream ‘anything but Christianity’ kind of reflexive leftist/ progressive/ pro-sexual revolution perspective… which is all-but universal among those active in the perennialist, spiritual, esoteric, neo-pagan, self-help, personal development world.

Here and now, this agnostic stance of suspended judgement is non-viable: things have come to a point; because of the pervasive domination of New Left/ Political Correctness in all major social institutions everyone is incrementally being brought to a fork in the path, a decision yes or no.

I see this all around me. We live in a world of spiritual warfare. It cannot be hidden from, choice cannot be evaded. We cannot ‘keep our heads down’ because everyone is located and they must stand-up and raise their hands (and voices) to endorse and promote the current, evolving Leftist totalitarian narrative in all its respects – or else…

This is why I pay very little attention to atheists, agnostics, and pagans who believe they are opposed to globalism. Their belief is sincere, but they simply don’t understand the true nature of the war that presently engulfs Man. Despite their intentions, I expect that many, not most of them, will ultimately gravitate to the other side when push comes to shove.

Because, at the end of the day, you must either bend the knee to Jesus Christ or to the Prince of this World. You will be forced to choose a side and there will be a price. Standing proudly on your own is an illusion and it was never an option.

Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

One is always well-served by paying attention to Mr. Charlton’s observations. He correctly saw through Jordan Peterson as well.

It is all very well for me to call Jordan Peterson an antichrist, and to warn people off taking seriously someone who is a merely a psychotherapist, left-libertarian, atheist… but the rejoinder is that ‘who else’ is there in the modern world getting mainstream coverage that is talking as much common sense?

And the answer is: nobody. Nobody else who has comparable fame and impact is any better than Jordan Peterson  – and yet Jordan Peterson is qualitatively inadequate for the needs of this time: he is a waste of time, a blind alley, a red herring; thus, in our state-of-emergency – he does more harm than good…

For people to regard JP as a significant thinker is evidence that they have no idea of the severity of the situation here and now.  They have no idea of the pervasiveness and depth of corruption in a society that officially advocates and enforces moral and aesthetic inversion; which punishes truth and systematically generates an interlocking structure of lies. We are in a very bad way indeed – advanced en route to self-chosen damnation on a mass scale.


The communications gap at work

More empirical evidence of the existence of the communications gap, as if any were needed:

I have gained nothing from watching this video. My IQ is around 120 and I don’t understand what is being said here. I have watched this stream 2x and I don’t get it. I know that government forcing people to use speech is bad; cleaning your room is good.
