So did not see THAT coming

Pizzagate killed Soundgarden:

TMD has learned today from a source that Chris was allegedly going to help expose the goings-on in Mena, Arkansas, where it’s been alleged that a cocaine and child trafficking ring tied to the Clinton’s has been operating…. The biggest theory floating around the internet is the monsters behind “PedoGate” allegedly marked Chris for assassination due to his work with ‘sexually & physically abused kids’ via several foundations.

Say what? I’ll admit, the idea that he intentionally committed suicide seems unlikely, but I find it very, very, very hard to credit that this might actually be connected to Seth Rich, let alone Vince Foster.

Det Alternative Højre: 16 punkter

Formålet er at udvikle en filosofisk kerne for det Alternative Højre, som andre kan bygge videre på.

1. Det Alternative Højre tilhører den politiske højrefløj set ud fra både den amerikanske og europæiske forståelse af begrebet. Progressive tilhører ikke det Alternative Højre. Liberale tilhører ikke det Alternative Højre. Kommunister, marxister, marxianere, kulturmarxister og neokonservative tilhører ikke det Alternative Højre.

2. Det Alternative Højre er et ALTERNATIV til den hovedstrømning indenfor konservatisme i USA, som nominelt er gengivet i Russel Kirk’s 10 Konservative Principper, men som i realiteten har udartet sig i retning af progressivisme. Det er også et alternativ til libertarianisme.

3. Det alternative Højre er ikke en defensiv tilgang, og afviser idéen om nobelt og principfast nederlag. Det er en fremadskuende, offensiv filosofi i enhver forståelse af dette begreb. Det Alternative Højre tror på sejr gennem vedholdenhed og ved at forblive i harmoni med videnskab, virkelighed, kulturel tradition og de erfaringer, man kan drage af historien.

4. Det Alternative Højre mener, at den vestlige civilisation er højdepunktet af menneskelig bedrift og støtter dens tre fundamentale søjler: Kristendom, de europæiske nationer og den græsk-romerske arv.

5. Det Alternative Højre er åbent og uforbeholdent nationalistisk. Det støtter alle nationalismer og alle nationers ret til at eksistere; homogene og uden udvanding gennem fremmed invasion  og immigration.

6. Det alternative Højre er anti-globalistisk. Det er i opposition til alle grupper, som arbejder for globalistiske idealer eller globalistiske mål.

7. Det Alternative Højre er anti-egalitært. Det afviser idéen om lighed af samme grund, som det afviser idéen om enhjørninger og nisser, og understreger, at menneskelig lighed ikke eksisterer i nogen observerbar videnskabelig, juridisk, materiel, intellektuel, seksuel eller spirituel form.

8. Det Alternative Højre vedkender sig videnskabelig metode. Det accepterer som forudsætning de nuværende konklusioner, som er nået gennem den videnskabelige metode, samtidig med, at det forstår, at a) disse konklusioner er åbne for fremtidig revision, b) at videnskabeligt arbejde er sårbart for korruption, og c) at den såkaldte videnskabelige konsensus ikke er baseret på videnskabelig metode men demokrati og derfor per definition er uvidenskabelig.

9. Det Alternative Højre mener, at identitet > kultur > politik.

10.  Det Alternative Højre er imod, at nogen oprindelig etnisk gruppe bliver hersket over eller domineret af en anden etnisk gruppe, især i de dominerede folkeslags egne hjemlande. Det Alternative Højre er imod at nogen ikke-hjemhørende etnisk gruppe opnår uforholdsmæssig indflydelse i et samfund gennem nepotisme, stammeloyalitet eller andre midler.

11. Det Alternative Højre forstår, at mangfoldighed + nærhed = krig.

12. Det Alternative Højre er ligeglad med, hvad du mener om det.

13. Det Alternative Højre afviser international frihandel og den frie bevægelighed af folk, som frihandel kræver. Fordelene ved intranational frihandel er ikke bevis for fordelene ved international frihandel.

14. Det Alternative Højre mener, at vi må sikre hvide folkeslags eksistens og en fremtid for hvide børn.

15. Det Alternative Højre tror ikke på nogen races, nations, folkeslags eller underarts ubetingede overherredømme. Enhver race, nation, folkeslag og menneskelig underart har deres egne unikke styrker og svagheder og besidder den uindskrænkede ret til at leve uforstyrret i den oprindelige kultur, som de foretrækker.

16. Det Alternative Højre er en filosofi, som værdsætter fred mellem de forskellige nationer, og som er imod krige for at påtvinge én nation en anden nations værdier, såvel som forsøg på at udrydde individuelle nationer gennem krig, folkemord, immigration eller genetisk assimilation.

I korte træk: Det Alternative Højre er en vestlig ideologi, som tror på videnskab, historie, virkelighed og enhver genetisk nations ret til at eksistere og bestemme over sig selv ud fra dens egne interesser.

Catalonia to hold referendum

The referendum on Catalan independence will be held on October 1:

The leader of Spain’s Catalonia region, where a separatist movement is in full swing, on Friday announced an independence referendum for October 1st, in what will exacerbate tensions with Madrid. Speaking in Barcelona, Carles Puigdemont said the question would be: “Do you want Catalonia to be an independent state in the form of a republic?”

Catalonia, a wealthy, 7.5-million-strong region with its own language and customs, has long demanded greater autonomy. Separatist politicians in the northeastern region have tried for years to win approval from Spain’s central government for a vote like Scotland’s 2014 referendum on independence from Britain, which resulted in a “no” vote.

And while Catalans are divided on the issue, with 48.5 percent against independence and 44.3 percent in favour according to the latest poll by the regional government, close to three-quarters support holding a referendum.

But Catalan authorities have repeatedly been thwarted in their attempts to hold such a vote, arguing it goes against the constitution and would threaten the unity of Spain.

I don’t think “threatening the unity of Spain” is an effective argument to use against secessionists seeking independence, given that the destruction of unwanted unity is the essential point of declaring independence. To put this in perspective, Catalonia has about the same population as Switzerland, and, unlike Switzerland, actually has its own unitary language. It’s observably more of a nation than the United States.

I tend to find myself somewhat bemused by the Spanish reaction, which combines contempt for the feckless leftism of the separatists and the future prospects of an independent republic with fear that the separatists will succeed. But if all of the negative observations are true – and there is little reason to believe that they aren’t – then why not support the secessionist campaign? Why work so hard trying to stop it?

I know many, if not most, Americans would welcome Calexit or an independent New York City. Anyhow, regardless of how the Calatans vote, this is an additional indication that nothing will halt the continuing rise of nationalism around the world.

Tory disaster in the UK

Theresa May’s electoral gamble turned out to be as stupid and disastrous as her feeble response to the Muslim attacks in Manchester and London.

A shaky Theresa May vowed to fight on today despite suffering catastrophic losses as her election gamble humiliatingly backfired – leaving a hung parliament just 10 days before Brexit talks are due to start.

As the Tories’ Commons majority was brutally stripped away by voters, Mrs May faced open calls from her own MPs to ‘consider her position’ as a jubilant Jeremy Corbyn demanded she make way for him to become PM.

But an ashen-faced Mrs May, who called the contest three years early in a bid to capitalise on sky-high poll ratings, insisted the Conservatives were still the largest party with an expected 319 seats. She insisted the country needed a ‘period of stability’, adding: ‘It is incumbent on us to ensure that we have that.’

As the knives came out for Mrs May, former chancellor George Osborne lambasted her campaign performance as ‘wooden’ and her manifesto as a disaster, making clear he did not believe she could survive for long. Former minister Anna Soubry, who was reelected in Broxtowe, added her voice to calls for Mrs May to consider resigning. Asked exactly where the Tory campaign had gone wrong, Ms Soubry said bluntly: ‘Where do you want me to start?’ Another Tory MP, Nigel Evans, said the party had ‘shot ourselves in the head’.

With English and Welsh voters seemingly punishing Mrs May for calling the ballot unnecessarily, the only thing saving her from utter disaster was the Tory performance in Scotland. The party’s leader north of the border, Ruth Davidson, inspired a 12-seat surge that unseated the SNP’s former First Minister Alex Salmond in Gordon and Westminster leader Angus Robertson in Moray.

May has to resign. She’s less viable as a national leader than David Cameron after Brexit. The reason for the Conservative Party collapse is obvious: UKIP’s growth was, in part, the result of Labour voters voting for Brexit. That accomplished, they had no reason to vote for the Tories once May revealed herself to be a feckless multiculturalists who was too thick to run on a pro-Brexit, anti-immigration line.

Her response to the two Muslim attacks sealed the loss of her Parliamentary majority. Everyone knew that she wasn’t going to do a damn thing about it. Furthermore, the press had painted Jeremy Corbyn as such a no-hoper that people felt safe voting for Labour as a protest vote.

I’m not at all worried about Brexit. If the political class attempts to spin the lack of support for an anti-Brexit prime minister as support for going back to the European Union, they’ll soon find out how little control they actually possess.

Take her down, Boris. Now is the time.

UPDATE: Boris appears to know it has fallen to him to lead his nation to freedom. Greatness beckons, but will require boldness to seize it.

Boris Johnson is the favorite to be the next Tory leader – and has already refused to back Theresa May after her election nightmare. The outspoken Foreign Secretary was repeatedly asked if he believes Mrs May should be Prime Minister but would only say ‘it’s early days’ after retaining his Uxbridge seat. He also stayed silent when a reporter suggested that the Tory leader was ‘fatally wounded’.

Who’s really riding the weaker horse?
July 31, 2006

When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature, they will like the strong horse.
—Osama bin Ladin

In examining the events of the past five years, it is increasingly apparent that Western leaders and commentators alike have fundamentally misconceived the relative positions of the primary parties in this third great wave of Islamic expansion. While there are nearly as many grand strategic recommendations floating around the Internet as there are editorialists, it is intriguing to note that virtually none of the Western analysts have grasped the basic reality that from the perspective from which a clash of civilizations must be considered, it is the West that is the weak horse.

The overwheening confidence which so often colors statements from men such as bin Laden and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad always rings strange in Western ears. It stands so powerfully at variance with what we know of Western wealth, technology and military advantages that it seems to be indicative of false bravado at best, at worst, clinical insanity. The fact that this sort of thing sounds exactly like Baghdad Bob’s surreal rantings only makes it that much more difficult for anyone to take it seriously.

And yet, history is rife with examples wherein a wealthy or more technogically advanced society is defeated by its lesser rival. Despite its lack of a navy, the intrepid Romans defeated Carthage on both land and sea, while the technical superiority of its machine guns, tanks, submarines, rockets and airplanes were not enough to allow the Germans to overcome the allies in World War II. The knights of Western Europe lost numerous battles and a number of wars to Mongols, Magyars, Turks and Saracens even though none of their enemies could stand before an armored cavalry charge.

Neocon ravings notwithstanding, national will, (or more accurately, cultural will), is not the issue at hand here. The majority of Americans are largely indifferent to the Bush administration’s Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism while an ovewhelming majority of the rest of the West is openly against it. But most Muslims are similarly indifferent to this third round in the great clash of civilizations too. An anecdote from William Manchester’s biography of Winston Churchill is most informative in this regard:

During the early 1950s, when this writer was living in Dehli as a foreign correspondent, social scientists began a comprehensive poll of Indian villages to determine how many natives knew British rule had ended in 1947. The survey was aborted when it was discovered that a majority didn’t know the British had even arrived.

And while it might be tempting to dismiss those Indians as ignorant illiterates, it might be illuminating to ask your neighbor if he knows the name of his congressman, his state representative or his city councilman.

Christendom has twice previously endured periods of Islamic expansion and even managed to roll back Islamic gains with the Reconquista, and, more temporarily, during the Crusades. But that was when the Christian West saw Islam as an enemy and bitterly contested it on every side. Now, a secular West no longer sees itself as a player in the great game, but as a referee, and views Islam as being merely one of the various contestants.

The unavoidable challenge is this. In the same way that atheism provides no moral basis for an individual to resist evil, secular, religious-neutral government provides no practical foundation for opposing Islamic expansion. If Congress funds no mosques, neither can it prevent them from being constructed by militant Saudi Wahhabists. If the Supreme Court requires no one to pray towards Mecca, neither does it allow the banning of immigrants on the basis of a religious adherence to jihad. The range of options accessible to the leaders of the West are formidable; they are also irrelevant.

Bin Laden’s statement about horses can perhaps be best understood thusly: Unlike its Christian predecessor, the secular West is structurally incapable of resisting an Islamic expansion due to its demographic disadvantages and philosophical weaknesses. If this is an accurate characterization, one can only conclude, unfortunately, that bin Laden’s statement is logically, historically and psychologically sound. Certainly the actions of the West’s leaders, especially those of the Bush administration, have done nothing to disprove the assertion, the establishment of a modern-day Kingdom of Acre in Iraq notwithstanding.

None of this means that Islam cannot be turned back a third time; it does, however, suggest that the concept of Western secularism is doomed to failure one way or another. Secularism does not inspire, it enervates. The spirit which led to the sapping of British spirit and the decline of the Raj has been at work in America for decades, it should surprise no one that the lion’s heir is following the mighty tracks of its predecessor.

The impotence of secularism is only the first of several realities that must be recognized if the West is to survive its third test of character. Here are some other important verities:

  • Democracy does not reduce radicalism or inhibit religion.
  • Exposure to Western culture does not eliminate radicalism. Even complete immersion in it does not guarantee its elimination.
  • Western shock and awe cannot impose permanant defeat upon an Eastern culture of retreat and regroup.
  • Technological proliferation is inevitable. This includes nuclear weapons.
  • Internal dissension, not external force, ends offensive expansion.

The West turned back the forces of an expansionary Islam twice before. Those hoping to see it turned back a third time would be wise to examine precisely how it was accomplished on the previous occasions.

UK election: final polls

We’ll see if they do any better than they did on Brexit.

Con: 43.7% (+5.9)
Lab: 36.1% (+4.9)
LDem: 8.1% (-)
UKIP: 4.4% (-8.5)
Grn: 2.2% (-1.6)

Labour, the LibDems, and UKIP all look too high to me.

They have to go back

They are right. They’re not part of our culture. So, why are they permitted here at all?

The Saudi Arabian soccer team refused to line up for a minute’s silence for the London terror victims on Thursday night because it is not in keeping with their culture. A spokesman for Football Federation Australia explained they were told a minute of silence was ‘not in keeping with Saudi culture’ ahead of the match.

Fans were left outraged at the display ahead of the World Cup qualifier against Australia in Adelaide.

Pictures show the Australian team lined up at the halfway mark, with the Saudi players ignoring the gesture as they get in formation to start the game. Saudi players on the bench refused to stand for the minute’s silence.

I want to see FIFA crack down as hard on the Saudi football association as they would on a nation that failed to toe the line on their idiotic diversity-celebrating.

Is MSNBC doing comedy now?

One can only hope that they were simply trolled. But this should underline, once and for all, the intrinsic unreliability of the mainstream media. I mean, how can you see this and then think that anything they say about the God-Emperor, Russia, or even Gross Domestic Product has any relation to reality?

Not that CNN is any better:

CNN has corrected a Tuesday report after the release of former FBI Director James Comey’s opening statement for his Thursday testimony in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee contradicted the reports’ sources.

The CNN report said Comey was expected to dispute President Trump’s claims that Comey said he was not under investigation on multiple occasions.

The report, titled “Comey expected to refute Trump,” was based on unnamed sources and said Comey’s conversations with the president “were much more nuanced,” and that Trump drew the wrong conclusion. The story was complied by four CNN journalists, including Gloria Borger, Eric Lichtblau, Jake Tapper and Brian Rokus.

CNN published a correction to its story Wednesday afternoon with the revised headline: “Comey unlikely to judge on obstruction.”

“CORRECTION AND UPDATE: This article was published before Comey released his prepared opening statement,” it reads above the original Tuesday story. “The article and headline have been corrected to reflect that Comey does not directly dispute that Trump was told multiple times he was not under investigation in his prepared testimony released after this story was published.

Mike Cernovich is right. The mainstream media is Fake News.

The convergence of “conservatism”

Paul Gottfried, the man who named the Alternative Right, explains how cultural Marxism has converged the so-called “conservative movement”:

Not only does Cultural Marxism exist, but it now appears to be taking over Conservatism Inc. Thus even with Paris burning, National Review was still attacking the Right. In the second round of the French election, Tom Rogan urged a vote for Emmanuel Macron on the grounds Marine Le Pen is insufficiently hostile to Vladimir Putin and is a “socialist” because she “supports protectionism.” Macron’s actual onetime membership in the Socialist Party, and his view that there was no such thing as French culture, apparently was not a problem [French election: American Conservatives Should Support Macron, April 24, 2017].

Conservatism Inc. goes along because these goals are partially achieved through corporate capitalists, who actively push Leftist social agendas and punish entire communities if they’re insufficiently enthusiastic about gay marriage, gay scout leaders, transgendered rest rooms, sanctuary cities etc.. Wedded as it is to a clichéd defense of the “free market,” the Beltway Right not only won’t oppose this plutocratic agenda, but instead offers tax cuts to the wealthiest and most malevolent actors.

It is because Cultural Marxism can co-exist with our current economic and political structure that our so-called “conservatives” are far more likely to align with the New Left than the Old Right. The behavior of our own captains of industry shows the rot is deep and that multiculturalism is very much part of American “liberal democratic” thinking, even informing our bogus conservatism. “Conservatism” is now defined as waging endless wars in the name of universalist values that any other generation would have called radically leftist. And Cultural Marxists themselves now define what we call “Western values”—for example, accepting homosexuality

The takeover is so complete, we might even say “Cultural Marxism” has outlived its usefulness as a label or as a description of a hostile foreign ideology. Instead, we’re dealing with “conservatives,” who are, in many ways, more extreme and more destructive than the Frankfurt School itself.

Many conservatives seem to believe Cultural Marxism is just a foreign eccentricity somehow smuggled into our country. Allan Bloom’s “conservative” bestseller The Closing of the American Mind  contended that multiculturalism was just another example of “The German Connection.” This is ludicrous.

Case in point: unlike Horkheimer, or my onetime teacher Herbert Marcuse, leading writers within Conservatism Inc. are sympathetic to something like gay marriage.

These include:

Jonah Goldberg [Gay Marriage vs. goodwill, USA Today, April 1, 2013]
Jamie Kirchick, published at National Review and borderline hysterical on the issue
John Podhoretz [Why John Podhoretz is Wrong on Gay Marriage, by Matthew Schmitz, First Things, November 21, 2012]
David Brooks [The Power of Marriage, by David Brooks, New York Times, November 22, 2003]

Indeed, homosexual liberation is so central to modern conservatism that the Beltway Right’s pundits urge American soldiers to impose it at bayonet point around the world.

Conservatism doesn’t conserve. Alt-Right or else.

IN PRINT: The Green Knight’s Squire

Gilberic Parzival Moth is a strange and lonely boy who has grown up without a father, raised by a single mother who moves from town to town in fear of something she will not name. His only friends are animals, with whom he has always been able to speak. But when he awakens one night at the Thirteenth Hour, and sees for the first time the cruel reality of the secret rule of Elf over Man, he begins to learn about his true heritage, the heritage of Twilight.


And when his mother finally tells him the terrible truth of her past, he must choose whether to continue running with her in fear, or learning how to fight against ancient powers that are ageless, soulless, and ultimately damned. THE GREEN KNIGHT’S SQUIRE, the first volume of MOTH & COBWEB, is an astonishing new series about magical worlds of Day, Night, and Twilight by John C. Wright and consists of three books:

  • Book One: Swan Knight’s Son
  • Book Two: Feast of the Elfs
  • Book Three: Swan Knight’s Sword

John C. Wright is one of the living grandmasters of science fiction and the author of THE GOLDEN AGE, AWAKE IN THE NIGHT LAND, and IRON CHAMBER OF MEMORY, to name just three of his exceptional books. He has been nominated for the Nebula Award, for the Hugo Award, and his novel SOMEWHITHER won the 2016 Dragon Award for Best Science Fiction Novel at Dragoncon.

But Malwyn has been driving the production elves hard, which is why we’re also pleased to announce a new ebook as well, namely, the second volume of my collected columns, which is entitled CRISIS & CONCEIT, 2006-2009.

Three-time nationally syndicated columnist Vox Day has been one of the most astute observers of the American political scene since the turn of the century. Known for successfully predicting the financial crisis of 2008 as well as the election of U.S. President Donald Trump in 2016, the iconoclastic writer’s work appeared regularly around the country in newspapers such as the Atlanta Journal/Constitution, the Boston Globe, the San Jose Mercury News, and the St. Paul Pioneer Press.


Beginning in 2001, Vox Day wrote more than 500 columns for WorldNetDaily and Universal Press Syndicate. CRISIS & CONCEIT, 2006-2009 is a collection of the columns published between the years 2006 and 2009, and addresses a wide variety of subjects, from economics and the financial crisis of 2008 to atheism and the history of war.
