Far be it from me to comment on the murky origins of the Chinese coronavirus, but it is perhaps not by chance that its emergence coincided with the beginning of both the Chinese New Year and the American election year. Though I am hesitant to conclude that the pandemic will not result in the death toll that hysteric talking heads in the news media are prophesying, and while I acknowledge that the Chinese coronavirus is a real and serious pandemic (some of my loved ones have been affected), it cannot be ignored that the lying press has not only totally lost its credibility over the past few years and that they, as the mouthpieces of the ruling class, will do whatever it takes to eliminate President Trump—including intentionally fomenting an economic crisis. Certainly, they are succeeding with aplomb, as over ten million Americans have “lost their jobs.” Many of these will be unable to locate them again. Whether or not the media histrionics are valid, their mendacity forces us to doubt every word that falls in shame from their artificially filled lips.
Why is President Trump going along with this controlled demolition of our economy? He has even suggested the possibility of suspending domestic air travel. Our lives have been placed in the hands of epidemiologists. Ann Coulter recalled that “playwright Arthur Miller once told a story about a geologist who remarked that life was possible even in the vast American desert. All you needed was water, he said, and the largest reservoir on the globe was located right under the Rockies. But how would he get it? Simple—drop a couple of atomic bombs. But what about the fallout? "Oh," said the geologist, "that's not my field." Today, the epidemiologists are prepared to nuke the entire American economy to kill a virus. What about the jobs, the suicides, the heart attacks, the lost careers, the destruction of America’s wealth? Oh, that's not my field.” What about the child abuse, domestic violence, and divorces that are surely piling up? We should be grateful that neither Senator Sanders nor former Vice President Biden are at the helm. The most recent CNN debate spent a vastly inordinate amount of time injecting Leftist causes célèbre into polemics masquerading as virus questions, including one forged in the fires of the highest absurdity that asserted that illegal aliens live in fear for their lives, and thus cannot seek medical attention for the virus. I guess we have to give the untold tens of millions of alien invaders amnesty in order to fight the virus. One CNN moderator asked, seeming to seek an answer in the affirmative, if the candidates support a “national quarantine” whereby the military will be mobilized to enforce a nationwide lockdown to confine all of us to our homes. The eradication of community life is a Leftist’s wet dream, while shuttered churches writhe and liquor stores thrive. New York Governor Cuomo has also called on President Trump to mobilize the military. Cuomo has set up a “containment zone” quarantining the entire city of New Rochelle. This virus, whatever its origins and true consequences, is undoubtedly being used to push the envelope of State power to new distances. It isn’t too far-fetched to imagine firearm confiscation, or, as one friend suggested, a “turn in your gun for a vaccine and food” program. The possibilities cascade, as V for Vendetta so chillingly demonstrated. Whether or not the Chinese coronavirus is or will be as apocalyptic as the pundits are proclaiming, it raises still other disturbing questions. Tucker Carlson has called attention to our frightening dependence on the Chinese enemy for our pharmaceuticals; one Chinese state media organ recently explicitly threatened to withhold these medicines. How sinister could our ruling class have been to outsource the production of our life-saving drugs to a country that hates us, to a people who stir-fry living dogs? Even to outsource these materials to an ally would be the height of irresponsibility. China also essentially controls the global supply of rare earths minerals as well, vital components in the technologies that we have become addicted to. How long will it take Americans to rebuild the industries that ‘our’ leaders eviscerated? Senators Richard Burr, Diane Feinstein, and Kelly Loeffler, among others in Congress, appear to have transparently engaged in insider trading to profiteer from the situation. ‘American’ corporations continue to demonstrate their allegiance to the earth entire except for us. 3M CEO Mike Roman warns of “humanitarian” consequences if all of his production is insourced back into America. Humanitarian? Let the world burn. Our so-called ‘allies’ have already confiscated medical supplies bound for our country. China, on whom the entire blame must be laid for this disaster, lapped up the medical supplies of nations foolish enough to host its corporations and shipped them back to the mainland. Our only duty is to our people. The response to the Chinese coronavirus also lays bare another disquieting truth. When the hostile parasitic force that controls our institutions deems something to be important, they shift the machinery of State into overdrive. This exposes the immense discrepancy between what our government is capable of and what it chooses to do, how it chooses to expend our resources. One of the most glaring examples is the governmental response to the crack epidemic versus the opioid epidemic, many orders of magnitude more devastating than the former. 770,000 of our people have had their lives stolen from them, a number greater than our deaths in World War Two. Each year, opioid deaths are roughly the equivalent of our death toll in the Vietnam War. Whole regions of our nation have been destroyed. Or what about the growing push, wrapped inside the homosexual-transgender extremism rampaging on a war path through the realm, to normalize pedophilia? This is the final frontier in the Manifest Destiny of egalitarianism, the last Bastille to be stormed in the Satanic crusade. Just as National Review now celebrates homosexuality, it is presumably one court ruling away from extolling the virtues of “minor-attracted persons”, the new inoffensive name for the greatest abomination before God and man since legally sanctioned and encouraged infanticide. A body of anecdotal evidence suggests that homosexuality and pedophilia do, in fact, go hand in hand. The extraordinarily humane film Mysterious Skin provides a good illustration of this phenomenon. Two TED talks, a growing body of academic literature, and at least five articles in popular media outlets such as Salon and New York Magazine, defended in the National Review, as well as a professor at San Diego State University, all have as their explicit purpose the desire to bring pedophilia into the mainstream as yet another oppressed sexual preference to be legally protected by antidiscrimination legislation. Think that can’t happen? Infanticide and homosexuality were considered unthinkable and incomprehensible not so long ago. The Supreme Court rules by diktat and “conservative” judges uphold them as newly-enshrined “precedent”. ABC’s Good Morning America promotes the grotesqueries of “drag kids”. The city of Spokane, Washington, employed two SWAT snipers and dozens of police officers to protect the pedophiliacs of a “Drag Queen Story Hour” from a crowd of concerned mothers. Homosexual “pride” parades regularly feature gyrating, half-naked children. Our public schools push transgender ideology and its attendant puberty blockers on our children, threatening to take them from our custody if we challenge them. Snapchat even offered a “love has no age” filter for its homosexual-transgender “love has no labels” campaign. In the last five years, child pornography consumption has increased by 4,400%. Our government, rather than devote its efforts to eradicating this Satanic scum, serves as an armed mercenary for the Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center, hard at work to enact the terrifying Domestic Terrorism Penalties Act and legally attack Rightist dissidents as never before. According to Eric Striker, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is now only dedicating about ten percent of its resources to the malignant scourge of child rape. Big Tech devotes its resources to suppressing Rightist speech, rather than easily address the horrific facilitation of child rape that happens in plain sight on their platforms. Child sex trafficking is the fastest-growing business in organized crime and is an extremely lucrative operation, falling only behind drugs and guns in terms of potential profitability. Every year, it is estimated that at least 100,000 children in our country are sold into sexual slavery and bought for sex almost three million times. This demonic evil happens every day in every city across our nation. Children as young as infants are trafficked into this nightmare underworld. Our only glimpses into this Hell come via the exposures of major institutional rings, such as those within the Catholic Church. The late Jeffrey Epstein operated in broad daylight, untouched by our authorities for decades. Our wide-open border certainly doesn’t help the situation, nor does the fact that hundreds of thousands of children disappear in our country every year. Where is the media? Where is the Department of Justice? Where are our elected officials, many of whom seem to condone this darkness? They are too busy ensuring that the masses do not start killing each other for toilet paper.

I started my political journey on what I thought to be the Left. Books like Klein’s The Shock Doctrine resonated with me, as did films like American Beauty and Revolutionary Road. My favorite childhood films were Atlantis and The Iron Giant. All of these works are part of a long line of salient critiques of the deracinated culture of consumption promulgated by our military-industrial corporatocracy, the oligarchy cloaked in the egalitarian garb of meritocratic democracy. I subscribed to the visually stunning anti-capitalist journal Adbusters, and immersed myself in works attacking the American imperial project. I still hold some of these positions; yet I was misled, duped into believing the lies that I had been force-fed. Wherein, though, is the lie? The lie is not in the problem, but rather in the identity of the Enemy. The institutions that create our popular culture have gone to great lengths to put faces to these forces of darkness that I had always opposed, including Big Business, Big Pharma, Wall Street, neoliberal economists and neoconservative think tank operatives like the monsters at AIPAC and the now-defunct Project for the New American Century. These are all heads of the Hydra, but what fashionable Leftism excludes from this projection is Big Tech, Big Journalism, the Academy, and Hollywood. The heads of the Hydra that we are permitted to see are represented as right-wing, whereas in reality they are all Leftists. The corporatocracy is Leftist; both the bastardized “capitalism” that provided for their ascension to power and the bureaucratized administrative state that perpetuates their stranglehold are firmly rooted in the Left. The self-appointed counterculture, stocked by rudderless upper-middle-class youths adorned in designer clothing, is nothing but the handmaiden to power. Antifa brownshirts, whether or not they are aware (and they are aware), are doing the bidding of academics and corporate boards. They want us to be intoxicated, to dismantle “the patriarchy” and the family, to cease having troublesome children, to refrain even from going outside. Instead of founding families, praying and rearing our children in the faith, we consume processed foods, opioids, and plastic trash. Childbirth, according to figures like Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg, is a stumbling block in the path of suicidal success (our suicide, their power aggregation). In the name of equality, invidious individualism is doing nothing but entrenching the hostile power that occupies and rules our nation. The primary difference between Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party, between the Sanders base and the Trump base, is their respective identification of the Enemy; the symptoms are manifest to both. For what it’s worth, I maintain my belief that had his campaign not been torpedoed by the Democrat Party, the forty-fifth President would have been Sanders. The rapacious vulture “capitalism” that has destroyed the United States of America is not of the Right, nor is the same vultures’ concomitant project to rebuild the Tower of Babel through imperial warmongering. Nowhere is this false consciousness more on display than on the question of our physical environment. The counterfeit “environmental” organizations that now pretend to care for God’s creation are nothing but Leftist fronts; when was the last time a board member of the Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council, Greenpeace, or World Wildlife Fund actually visited a National Park? William de Vere has chronicled the subversion of Earth First! into a Leftist organization. The wall-to-wall screeching on the Left about “climate change” is merely a vehicle through which to bestow upon totalitarian bureaucrats the power to completely control every aspect of our lives (see Michaels’ Lukewarming and Scientocracy, as well as the work of Marc Morano). Environmental conservation is inherently and necessarily Rightist. We are called to be able and benevolent stewards of God’s creation; to use, but never to abuse the physical environment and its creatures. We truly care for the real environment, not the academic abstraction that our reptilian They Live rulers cry crocodile tears for. The Southern tradition is rooted in the land; see Rawls’ Where the Red Fern Grows for a most beautiful depiction. Our forefathers were agrarians, not capitalists; Yankee capital pillaged our virgin land and put it under an iron yoke, decimating our fathers’ fields and pristine forests, sold to the lowest bidder. America was a nation of independent farmholds, trading with one another absent government oversight. This, the land of rolling hills, piney woods, and twinkling streams, is the Right; the irradiated alien landscape of gouged mountaintops and strip-mined scars is the Left. Soulless mammon-lust, the alienated and individualized quest for cancerous perpetual growth, is Leftist unreality, unmoored castles in the sky; the Right values community, faith, and family, fixed in the reality of natural cycles. The earth is nothing to our rulers but a mass of biological matter to exploit, just as humans are nothing but biological abstractions, Darwinian masses of swirling atoms; they are totally disconnected from reality. Perhaps a perfect illustration is given in the case of the Soviet Union’s whaling program, decimating hundreds of thousands of whales for no reason other than to fill quotas, utilizing little to none of the mammals, their bloated corpses so thick that the sea couldn’t even be seen. The gruesome and depraved international traffic in endangered animals is fed by the insatiably virulent appetite of China, the country that the American Left worships. In a situation akin to Crichton’s State of Fear, arsonists from California to Brazil and Australia have claimed millions of animals’ lives. Self-described environmentalists are masters of propaganda, disseminating images of dead and dying animals like polar bears, which in reality are enjoying a population boom (see Crockford’s The Polar Bear Catastrophe that Never Happened). We have to reclaim the mantle of conservation, and expose the faux environmentalists for what they are. This would greatly improve our prospects with youth. We must integrate environmental protection into our platform; this does not mean nebulous and capriciously overburdensome regulation, such as banning plastic straws, bags, and fluorescent lightbulbs, or instituting carbon neutral building codes and fuel standards, or stunting our energy independence (all of which are simply anarcho-tyrannical exercises in soft totalitarianism). No, this means a national tree-planting campaign, strengthening the penalties for animal abuse and littering, properly funding and staffing the National Park Service (our national treasure) and game agencies, and refocusing the Environmental Protection Agency on the basic enforcement of clean air and water acts. We should eliminate ethanol subsidies and federal funding for both apocalyptic climate propaganda and quixotic alternative energy sources. We can use our environmental program as a springboard from which to carry out other items on our agenda. We should use the poaching issue to further deepen the divide between our nation and China, utilizing it to impose sanctions on the hostile power flooding our communities with fentanyl. We can further utilize the pollution issue to promote a stateside manufacturing renaissance; if we truly care about pollution, wouldn’t we cut economic ties with China immediately? And perhaps the strongest tangible argument against immigration is the Malthusian overcrowding of our country and the proliferation of trash blanketing our cities and the Southwestern desert. Those who have thrown open our borders have not done so thoughtlessly; nay, they have done so in a calculated manner. Our wide, open, and wild spaces are decried as wastes of space. The unspoiled wilderness is seen as a barren waste, unproductive land that must be plundered and put to use. By crowing that our nation “has plenty of room”, the rulers of the darkness of this world betray their true motivation. They want to turn Yellowstone and Arcadia into a ghetto, a sprawling strip mall, dotted with gas stations, methadone clinics, and payday loan operators. There is also a veritable litany of cases of illegal aliens raping and abusing our farm and pet animals (see the work of Ann Coulter and Dave Gibson). Horrific practices like dogfighting are prevalent in these certain subsets of the population. The grotesqueries of factory farming, wholly antithetical to our agrarian roots, are directed from on high by corporate Leftists and perpetrated by the illegal serfs in their employ; the recent video exposé of one of the dairy farms supplying Fairlife Milk is but the tip of an iceberg. Once we embrace our mission, the possibilities are truly endless. We can and must reclaim the mantle of environmental stewardship from the predators who co-opted it. Animal rights groups and true conservationists will be welcome additions to our coalition to restore the Republic that we proved ourselves incapable of keeping. Since the infamous and powerful monologue that Tucker Carlson used to launch the year 2019, the Enemy has manufactured countless controversies to attempt to drive him from the air. Last August, after Carlson courageously acknowledged that “white supremacy” is a Leftist hoax, neither a crisis nor even a threat in our nation or anywhere, he was off of the air for almost two weeks. Since this still-unexplained absence, which perhaps not coincidentally occurred at about the same time that Fox suspended Judge Jeanine Pirro for remarks deemed “Islamophobic”, Carlson has essentially stopped opening his program with monologues.
On Friday, February 21, 2020, however, Carlson returned to form: The story of American decline is the story of an incompetent ruling class. The people in charge inherited an industrial superpower with unchallenged military dominance. In a little more than a generation, they squandered all of it. In exchange for short-term profits, bigger vacation homes, cheaper household help, they wrecked what they did not build. They outsourced entire sectors of our economy to China. They imported a serf class to drive down wages, and they crippled the middle class while doing it. They ran up trillions in unpayable debt. They turned the finest universities in the world into a joke. They watched from their decadent little bubbles of affluence as families, faith, and public decency died in this country. And they laughed, because they didn’t care. How people this awful wound up in charge of a nation as great as ours is a question that historians will have to answer. I take issue with Carlson’s assertion that ‘our’ ruling class is incompetent; I would argue that the managed decline of the past several decades is far more sinister than rote incompetence. The Enemy has largely succeeded in its ruthless campaign of genocide, the liquidation of the American kulak. I would also add to Carlson’s assertion that “they wrecked what they did not build”; not only did they not build our nation, but more importantly they couldn’t have built it. Neither, of course, could the new dysgenic population that was elected in 1965. We are ruled by the most depraved and disgracefully pathetic ‘elite’ that human civilization has ever known, by fiat from their thrones in the Gehenna of Washington. What happened to our country is by no means as simple as a murder, however. It was also a suicide. We are not the men that our forefathers were. We have squandered the legacy that three hundred years of bloody and passionate toil erected. Our ancestors were fighting men, conquerors who cleared a wilderness and built the greatest country that civilization has yet known. In 1860 they rose, staring certain death in the face, fighting a tyranny not one-tenth the likes of which we face today. Yet we do nothing. The history of American constitutional jurisprudence is the story of the death of our freedom. We need merely examine the perversion of the “Commerce” Clause of Article I, Section VIII, stretching back to the Roosevelt era, to see precisely to what degree we have stood by and allowed our Constitution to become so abstracted as to be rendered totally inoperative and weaponized against us. In NLRB v. Jones & Laughlin, the Supreme Court held that local activities are regulable by Congress so long as they have a direct and substantial effect on “interstate commerce”. This newfound exercise of the commerce power to interfere within the States was expanded further in U.S. v. Darby, in which Congress’ commerce power was deemed to be plenary, “complete in itself”; the Tenth Amendment was dismissed as a mere “truism”, completing its vitiation, initiated so long ago by Chief Justice John Marshall. Following Marshall’s 1824 Gibbons v. Ogden expansion of the definition of “commerce” to mean anything and everything affecting “commerce”, in the circular logic of unlimited power, the Court found its groove in the mendacious Wickard v. Filburn, in which Roosevelt’s 1938 Agricultural Adjustment Act was upheld to penalize a farmer for growing wheat over his allotment. In other words, a farmer was told what quantity of what crop he was permitted to grow, extending even to consumption by his own family. Commerce, it was thus established, meant anything that Congress said it did. As Justice Thomas so wonderfully put it in his concurrence in US v. Lopez, after outlining the Founding meaning of the term “commerce”, “Clearly, the Framers could have drafted a Constitution that contained a ‘substantially affects interstate commerce’ Clause had that been their objective”. At ever-increasing levels of abstraction, you see, everything affects the economy; all activities may be held to be “economic”. Herein laid the groundwork for the regime inaugurated by the 1964 Civil Rights Act; alchemically, “racism” was transformed into “commerce”; surely, the Founders had exactly that in mind. Of course, if it wasn’t the “Commerce” Clause, it would be another sentence; the Enemy, unlike us, will do whatever it takes to win. A further complication in this massive bastardization of the commerce power is revealed when we acknowledge that Congress itself is no longer the Legislative Branch. In fact, we no longer have a Legislature; what the Seventeenth Amendment did not destroy, the administrative state has. Congressional abdication has created a situation in which our elected politicians vote on bills that are thousands of pages long and that they have not read, but are rather summarized by the unelected army of Leftist attorneys and bureaucrats who actually wrote them. In other words, completely unaccountable, nameless, faceless tyrants write legislation that “legislators” sign off on without deigning to look at and then farm the implementation of said legislation back to the same administrative attorneys and technocrats. To reiterate, by conferring massive commerce power to Congress, we are crowning unelected and entirely unaccountable “men without chests” (to use C.S. Lewis’ term) with the power to legislate every breath we take. The very idea of following “precedent” is a sick illusion. To continue with our example of the “Commerce” Clause, a subservient Supreme Court followed the wicked Roosevelt (heir to the godless genocider-in-chief Lincoln) into Hell by upholding his New Deal usurpations. This dramatic break from the Founding was thus established as the new “precedent”, and all following commerce power jurisprudence has reinforced it. This is merely moving ever farther away from the Founding, though, so how can we refer to the process as precedent? The very nature of precedent is meant to reinforce the permanent truths, the bedrock upon which our society is founded; the precedential nature of constitutional jurisprudence is inherently traditionalist and originalist. Continuing into the bog after a will-o’-the-wisp, continuing deeper and deeper into the forbidding darkness, continuing to travel down the wrong path, cannot be following precedent. A return to precedent has to be a return to the Founding. We have allowed our altars to be toppled, our icons defaced and another people’s enshrined. We have fallen prey to comfort, drugged with the sundry honeyed opiates of luxury, pornography, sexual nihilism, and substances ad infinitum. The Enemy feeds us drugs, yes, and works tirelessly to further our defenestration; but consume them we still do. Many of us who would ostensibly resist are trapped within the complacency promulgated by the Republican Party. We are not #winning. We are losing. Badly. Trump supporters are still beaten and brutalized in the streets and brazenly imprisoned in political prosecutions; merely glance at the tyrannical kritarch Amy Berman Jackson and the scandalous treatment given Roger Stone. “Conservatives” laugh uproariously at each Democrat debate; it isn’t funny. We should be fearful, and steel our resolves in response. The very fact that we own guns may make us more complacent; with them, we believe ourselves free. We aren’t. We are probably kidding ourselves when we say, “Come and take it”, as if we would really use them when push comes to shove. I’ve long believed that the spark for civil war may be ignited by the inevitable program of disarmament. Inebriated as the populace are, however, resistance seems unlikely. Even if large enough numbers do resist, it would only be in response to aggressive confiscation; even then, it would most likely be individualized, house-to-house, rather than a collective action. But before any sort of Last Stand pipe dream can materialize, we have to begin taking First Stands. John Gast’s 1872 American Progress is my favorite artwork. Gast captured the promise of America, our Manifest Destiny. We conquered the continent. Lady Progress (this at a time when “progress” was our march toward the realization of our national destiny, rather than our forced march into the darkness of a pyrrhic and perverse dystopia) walks forward from East to West with confidence. She carries a schoolbook, the representation of Western civilization and knowledge. She bravely presses on, from bright light into outer darkness, blazing the trail for the settlers who follow her on foot, horse, wagon, and rail. As the merciless and savage wild flees from her path, the frontier rises and the hinterland recedes. Today, American Progress has been subverted and inverted. Lady Progress lies prostrate on the ground, engulfed in darkness, flanked by the Enemy. The pages of her schoolbook flutter, scattered to the winds. She tripped in her flight from the apocalyptic nightmare galloping back from East to West, Orient to Occident. The demons she had cast out have returned, with vengeance in their ravening eyes. The railroad tracks she laid have been torn up, ties twisted. Civilization has now taken flight. Victor Davis Hanson has compared our generation to the illiterate Dark Age Greeks who created mythologies to explain the incomprehensible ruins that remained of their great forebears. America used to build things, gargantuan works of industrial and technological prowess; today, our infrastructure crumbles, our urban areas literally ruined. They serve as a clarion call, crying out, begging us to compare our glorious past with our ignominious present. Part of this is due to the incompetence and disdain of the kleptocratic ruling class, part to the stranglehold of technocratic Leftism, but the largest part is our own failure. How can we indict the ruling class without also indicting the population that stood by as they were enthroned, that stands by as it is corralled into the abyss and replaced by Third World peasants? Our culture has collapsed; we have no national cinema, literature, or music, save for dissipated ghetto trash. Hanson’s final remarks are worth quoting: “As we walk amid the refuse, needles and excrement of the sidewalks of our fetid cities; as we sit motionless on our jammed ancient freeways; and as we pout on Twitter and electronically whine in the porticos of our Ivy League campuses, [we will ask], ‘Who were these people who left these strange monuments that we use but can neither emulate nor understand?’ In comparison to us, they now seem like gods.” Our mother spent hours lovingly baking a cherry pie from scratch. She left it on the windowsill, asking only that we keep an eye on it, checking it from time to time. We didn’t. We were too busy playing video games, caressing virtual women, swallowing our words with liquor and pills. The pie now lies upturned in the dirt, pieces asunder, the cherry indistinguishable from the blood of our brethren pooling on the ground. The world entire crowds in, shoving and elbowing their way for a piece. We, as trust-fund children, were not given a heavy burden to bear; all that we had to do was maintain what generations before bequeathed us, a free gift. We destroyed it all, in the twinkling of an eye, leaving a now mammoth task before us. The end is nigh if we remain complacent for much longer. Extreme wealth inequality is growing to the point where it might be safely argued that we are living in the midst of the second Gilded Age, replete with the most massive and sinister monopolies ever constructed. The economic divide is but one of the many battle lines drawn in the Culture War between the ruling class and the country class. Employing the analyses of Angelo Codevilla and Samuel Francis, the ruling class is the fundamentally Leftist managerial elite which controls our institutions, including the corporatocracy, academia, the media, and the Deep State bureaucracy, spun out of the Executive Branch. Created as a consequence of congressional abdication, this administrative therapeutic state has become a sort of supreme Fourth Branch. The ruling class uses egalitarianism as their weapon, overwhelming and dismantling the traditions which stand in the way of its reign. The country class is best understood for our purposes as those deplorable American kulaks who reside in flyover country, “bitterly clinging” to the past; this country class is essentially white, Christian (or at least the progeny of Christians), and on the Right. The Leftist ruling class is bipartisan to the core; nothing separates Koch from Soros. The Right is not currently represented politically, though it is finally making inroads into the Republican Party thanks to President Trump’s Make America Great Again base, allegiant not to the President but to his 2016 platform. The ruling class-country class divide is not simply economic, however; a large portion of the current American economic underclass pledges allegiance to the ruling class. Through the secular theocracy of social justice, multiculturalism, and white masochism, this portion of the ruled has been led to believe that it is in fact the counterculture, that the country class (varyingly known as the ‘patriarchy’, ‘evangelical Right’, ‘heteronormative hegemony’, and a panoply of other meaningless gobbledygook terms) is in fact the ruling class. They proclaim their ‘resistance’, all the while serving as handmaidens to the corporate and political powers-that-be. Thus, much of America’s urban poor cannot be included within the country class. While precise data depends upon the poll, it is clear that a growing number of Americans are beginning to prefer ‘socialism’ to ‘capitalism’. Whether or not these would-be socialists can define socialism is another question entirely, and certainly they have not read The Black Book of Communism or Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago (though some of Senator Bernie Sanders’ staffers evidently have, and like what they see). Aside from our national decline of intelligence, why would young men and women in the most prosperous nation in human history turn towards a serfdom that reliably generates nothing but misery and starvation? Perhaps a better question is: How could they not? The only ‘capitalism’ that many of them have been exposed to is the sugar-coated cyanide, rapine and plunder of private equity vultures like Paul Singer, insatiable wendigos eviscerating and devouring thriving small towns and leaving addiction and suicide in their wake. The only America that our youngest generation knows is the Bush nihilism of perpetual multigenerational desert war and the Obama cynicism of ‘hope’ and ‘change’. Their earliest memories include the ruling class bailing itself out of the chaos that it created, at the expense of the hostage taxpayer. The ruling class, we were told, is “too big to fail”. Apparently, our nation isn’t too big to fail. Our families clearly weren’t too big to fail. Who is there to bail us out? America is an oligarchy, a disguised aristocracy; the capitalism that built this country no longer exists as such. Some modicum of meritocracy must be maintained in order for a capitalist constitutional republic of republics, such as the original United States, to survive with general harmony between the classes. At the very least, the illusion of meritocracy must be sustained. In other words, the working and lower-middle classes must have hope. Today, Horatio Alger is dead; he was hung with the bootstraps he was supposed to pull himself up with. The ruling class perpetuates itself through the criminally fraudulent university system. Thanks to federal student loans (these loans themselves, as well as their permanence, the result of brazenly corrupt political lobbying) and the thoroughly disproven lie that everybody needs to get a college degree (see Caplan’s The Case Against Education), an entire generation is enslaved in debt that it can never repay. There is an agency problem when we examine student loan debt, as these loans are willingly taken, the burden of debt willingly shouldered. It surely is not equitable to merely forgive this debt, for what of those who managed their finances and paid off the debt? What of those who didn’t need to take on debt? Wealth is not something to be penalized. On the other hand, it is not simply the fault of the student alone, for they were promised that with a college degree, wealth lay just around the corner. Just as the diversity bureaucracy mandated that housing loans be extended to minorities who would clearly never be able to repay them, partially precipitating the 2008 housing crisis and Great Recession, these student loans are propping up shoddy ‘universities’ (just look at the proliferation of colleges and the functionally illiterate students they churn out, as well as the fact that as universities are enriched, they employ less and less full professors) and students who should never have gone to college in the first place. This system has produced a revolutionary class of over-educated and under-employed young adults, relentlessly drilled in the dystopic tenets of the Frankfurt School. Perhaps the most significant difference between the first and second Gilded Age is the respective presence and absence of the spirit of noblesse oblige. Henry Ford paid a family wage because he cared for his workers and their families, for their shared country. The illustrious industrialists Astor, Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Vanderbilt all built hospitals, libraries, museums, schools, and universities. They cared for these United States; they felt an obligation to give back to the nation which had made everything possible. As Americans, they owed allegiance to America. This stands in stark contrast to today. ‘Our’ kleptocratic ruling class despises the country that it rules. It has presided over the decline and fall of America, with no stake in its future; it doesn’t even see itself as American. Bill Gates has certainly contributed massive amounts of his money…to fund the African population bomb. George Soros is a great contributor…to Leftist prosecutors across seventeen states, like Philadelphia’s Krasner and San Francisco’s Boudin (Leftist royalty, the son of Weather Underground cop-killers and the adopted son of Obama confidante terrorists Ayers and Dohrn), who are actively encouraging murder and mayhem in a grand display of anarcho-tyranny. Michael Bloomberg works tirelessly…to run roughshod over the Second Amendment and use his façade of a presidential campaign to donate unlimited amounts of money. Many charitable organizations in America today are nothing but funnels to Leftist causes célèbre and international populations. The private charity of the first Gilded Age rendered public welfare unnecessary; conservatives and libertarians should therefore remember that a world without public welfare can only be achieved by inculcating noblesse oblige in the ruling class once again, or through a large-scale Christian revival. Unfortunately, these scenarios seem highly improbable. Another marked difference between our two Gilded Ages is the current onslaught of mass immigration, with Americans continuing to be replaced on a vast scale. Manufacturing jobs were the first to go; when these were not outsourced to the Third World, Third World peasants were imported to take the remainder at slave wages. The blue-collar family wage is no more, leading to a precipitous decline in marriage; women do not marry men that cannot provide or that have a lower income than them. The two-income couples that do manage to stay married are further harmed by this wage depression insofar as they are led to believe they cannot afford to start a family. Working class Americans were told that they should simply suck it up and “learn to code”, but as time has gone on, many of those that bought in to the lie and earned STEM degrees have been replaced as well; for example, Big Tech stooge Senator Mike Lee is currently focused on flooding the market with hundreds of thousands of college-educated Asians, deflating white-collar wages. This feeds back into the over-educated, indebted, and under-employed proto-revolutionary class, but belies another disturbing issue. The manufacturing and retail jobs that working aliens currently occupy are in the process of being rendered obsolete, automated away. What is this uneducated underclass to do when the jobs dry up? They won’t be returning home; that much seems certain. We sit atop a pressure cooker; the revolutionary ferment is frothing. The hatred of the ruling for the ruled is beginning to be reciprocated, sometimes misdirected and sometimes not. The endpoint of this is unknown, but our prospects are disquieting; and this assuming that civil war between the traditional ruling and country classes doesn’t break out first. Fanon’s atmospheric violence is palpable, our urban areas particularly saturated with rage, and Stoddard’s Untermensch may indeed burst forth in florid and fervid violence. What could be in store is something less like Occupy Wall Street and more like the October Revolution. The only ideas percolating in the mainstream are those of the Left: the same stale ideas that have reaped the whirlwind for almost two centuries, repackaged by the credulous idiocy of ‘the Squad’, the intellectual leaders of the Democrat Party. The Right has to have an answer besides the buffoons at Turning Point USA and Young America’s Foundation repeating the tired mantra, “capitalism good, socialism bad”; the answer is not the soulless, deracinated materialist consumerism that empowered the Left in the first place. No, the answer is national populism, or a real national conservatism un-neutered by the likes of Rich Lowry; the answer is a Rightist program that is focused exclusively on promoting and protecting families. Childbirth bounties are but a start. Paradoxically, underpinning this program has to be our acknowledgment of the virtues of selfishness; we must care for our people, for our country. This generosity with ourselves, for our prosperity, must be distinguished from the hundreds of billions of dollars we cast into the fires of foreign boondoggles each year. Economic protectionism is inarguably superior to the laissez-faire globalization that has accelerated our dispossession; GDP is not a measure of anything. In the midst of our soaring stock market (are you tired of #winning?), do you feel prosperous? Does it feel like our country is strong? Rather than making the world safe for the Weaverian god terms of ‘democracy’ and ‘human rights’, we must make America safe for our families. Our drugged and overstimulated society, its hands thrown up to the heavens in despair, is but billions of lonely individuals disconnected to anything but the soul-crushing misery they find in the search for the solace of their own pleasure. We must acknowledge that the community is and will always be supreme over the individual; before this happens, before we rebuild the heart of our nation, from the steeple to the home, anything else we wish to accomplish will be moot. America is not an idea, or a philosophy, or a marketplace, or a social experiment. Men do not kill, nor do they die, for a ‘proposition’ nation. How can we love a theory? America is a nation, a community of kith and kin, of blood and soil, with a shared memory. This simply is not a country if we cannot speak to one another, share that single history, and work together toward the fulfillment of our common hopes and dreams. America consists of people, of families. Instead of encouraging family formation (real families meaning mother, father, children, and a dog or cat), our totally fraudulent government does the opposite, ushering in the end of everything we’ve ever known. The ‘family’ court system wages total war against fathers. Leftists undermine society and promulgate a festering nihilism through their morally bankrupt universities, where impressionable minds are taught that all values and traditions are nothing but hogwash to be sneered at, backwards ideas to be corrected. They deconstruct all things to make them meaningless, to infect us with a Sisyphean futility from which they suppose we may never recover. Simultaneously, they throw open the gates to medieval Middle Eastern barbarians and collaborate with the enemy to further our downfall. Make no mistake, they are the enemy. Countless lives have been brutally taken from us, our people humiliated, beaten, raped, and slaughtered, sacrificed at the gruesome altar of diversity as the propitiation of sin for our white privilege. Alas, we sold our melanin for this privilege. In the face of these and other threats, like the openly hostile China, we must ask: what unites us? Anything? Nobody even pulls their car over for a funeral procession anymore. Do we have the cultural willpower and patriotism left to win a war or face a massive challenge? Do we have the will not only to not die, but to live? Leftists have raped the Constitution into an unrecognizable heap since 1865 to serve whatever their ends may be, and when that still isn’t enough, they dispense with it altogether. They force every single one of us to subsidize the propaganda that passes as education. They force us to subsidize infanticide. They steal our income to bestow upon hordes of criminals and foreign invaders, engorging themselves upon our labor while lying to us that they are somehow the linchpin of our economy. America was not built by, nor are we a nation of, immigrants. America was settled and built from nothing, the wilderness cleared, the frontier settled at the cost of much blood, by pioneers with a shared culture. The lion’s share of our exponential population growth was from natural increase, not from immigration. What immigration there was came from our ancestral lands, not the nightmarish outer darkness now jostling its way into the shadow of our failing light. We are not ‘global citizens’, nor is every miserable wretch on the planet an ‘American-in-waiting’. Our rulers lead us further into ruin each day as the bloated administrative Deep State Blob seeks out ever more power. They manufacture ‘hate crimes’ to justify to morons the suppression of free speech. What is a ‘hate crime’? Nothing but thoughtcrime, for how could an emotion be criminalized? Nothing but anti-white weaponry to criminalize any white acting in his own interests and not for a ‘minority’, while the ubiquitous racially-motivated crime against whites by ‘minorities’ goes unopposed. Whites are the true global minority, and we soon will be within our own country (if we are not already, as we have no idea how many illegal aliens poison our body politic). Our first freedom is besieged, the right to bear arms threatened most recently with ‘red flag’ thoughtcrime laws. Leftists protect illegal alien pedophiles, rapists, and murderers of Aztec cruelty in ‘sanctuary’ cities, nullifying federal law, while at the same time obsessively expanding the ‘right’ to infanticide in every state, itself based upon the entirely unconstitutional Fourteenth Amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment was not only unlawfully submitted to the states in the first place, but was never in fact ratified by the requisite number of states; rather, it was spuriously proclaimed at the end of a bayonet. We have this piece of gobbledygook to thank for infanticide, homosexual ‘marriage’, and the destruction of our public-school system. Even if we were to validate the Fourteenth Amendment, the terms “due process” and “equal protection” were terms of art with specifically limited meanings that were only to apply to the citizenship of newly-freed slaves. This fraudulent construction also reduces the states to mere vassals and creates ‘birthright citizenship’. But citizenship, and by extension voting, are not rights; they are privileges. The Constitution gives and establishes no rights, as we are endowed with these rights naturally, by God; the Constitution merely prevents the national government from infringing upon these preexisting rights. Muhammad is now in the top ten baby names in our country. So much for ‘Never Forget’. Leftists lobby for the Muslim enemy, providing housing and unmonitored mosques from which they can plot terror attacks, while excoriating Christians, the most persecuted group at home and abroad, abandoned by our State Department. They waste American lives for worthless lands and worthless causes all over the world, having lied us into wars for the last 80 years. One American life is worth more than the whole continent of Africa and the Middle East. What these politicians, some of them Muslims and black militants, do while standing in front of the American flag, under sworn oaths to serve, is repulsive. They besmirch the very integrity of our institutions, once hallowed and now a grotesque farce, as children in the ill-fitting clothes of the men before them, their feet too small to fill the shoes of those giants who bore our world on their shoulders. When Atlas shrugs, his knees cut out from underneath him by the scimitar of the Orient, his head separated from his shoulders by the guillotine of the Left, are they to keep the lights on? Most devastating of all, leftists control every single cultural institution in this country. We cannot even turn the television on or catch a movie without their agenda being forced on us. Hollywood churns out political drivel and calls it film, awarding themselves at their annual circle-jerks. Film criticism has died along with journalism; we are not allowed to dislike Moonlight, Black Panther, or Hidden Figures without being tarred and feathered as a bigot. ‘Comedians’ smear us and our traditions every night. ‘Journalists’ lie every day, and win freedom of the press awards and Pulitzer Prizes. The news media is a sick joke. Radios are choked with the toxic fumes of rap ‘music’, the sound civilization is murdered to. Leftists have infiltrated the education system so thoroughly that our children are indoctrinated into the progressive death agenda from preschool to graduate school, taught to hate their families and their nation. Future generations are not taught our glorious history or our constitutional republican system of government. Instead, they learn ‘queer theory’ and slander against our heroes. What is the solution? Are we all supposed to homeschool our children? What about when they go to college? Are we all going to have to set up parallel institutions? With the usual foresight, our enemies have begun discussing outlawing homeschooling and private schools, as well as extending the school day. They’ve even infiltrated the churches, a homosexual clergy and globalist Pope but symptoms of much deeper degeneration. There is no escape. If we keep our heads down and appease these criminally insane revolutionaries, they will continue to run roughshod over our broken bodies. The storm will not pass. If we complain meekly and magnanimously, playing on their terms, our concerns are dismissed if not outright ridiculed; talk about blaming the victim. Big Tech monitors us more than our own government and interferes in every election worldwide. Our privacy was voluntarily surrendered and taken long ago. They have imposed a totalitarian social credit regime of censorship upon us; any unapproved thought, any incorrect sentiment, anything a freshman at Berkeley disagrees with, is banished from the mass marketplace. It is no coincidence that our leading financial institutions have begun to promote the cashless society. Technology has not made us freer; in fact, quite the opposite. Dissent is not tolerated. We are watching our freedom disappear. We all walk around on eggshells, afraid to speak, afraid to even think, for once speech is controlled, thoughts naturally conform. This is the way the world ends; not with a bang, but with the censor’s bleep. Who can we turn to for help? Not the GOP. The neoconservative grifters, cuckoo birds and cordyceps fungi that hijacked the American Right, are leftists themselves. So-called ‘conservatives’, the kleptocrats of Conservatism Inc. sacrifice our people to the market and to expediency every day. They toasted their donors as the private equity disembowelment of our once-thriving small towns rolled on, as capitalism was irradiated and bastardized into soulless vampiric consumption, as the family farm was leveled and the dark satanic mill raised in its stead. They exist solely in order to purge those whom they cannot co-opt; among the expunged are such luminaries as M.E. Bradford, Samuel Francis, Paul Gottfried, Murray Rothbard, and countless others. There are dozens who, like Darren Beattie, have been discredited simply for attending conferences attended by unmentionables. Politicians like Steve King and Sarah Palin are ridiculed and sidelined or worse, tossed into prison like Steve Stockman. Joe McCarthy, a hero at fault only for not going far enough, has been wholly and forever demonized. They expend enormous energy to ruin any real representatives of the Right and spend billions of dollars on shill think tanks and youth organizations whose only task is to brainwash and neutralize any threats to the ruling class before they can emerge. Traitorous Republicans lie to their conservative voters every election cycle and do nothing on the social or economic issues for which they were elected, proving ad infinitum that the ‘values’ they so love to expound are meaningless, empty vessels; ‘democracy’ is a procedure, a means, not a goal. What are they ‘conserving’, if not our culture? Nothing. They have conserved absolutely nothing. As the prescient theologian R.L. Dabney put it over a century ago, “American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition.” They promote the same policies leftists did only a year ago, halfheartedly fighting to preserve a smoldering crater of burnt rubble. Who else can we turn to? Certainly not the courts, let alone the Supreme Court. Not ‘the market’. ‘Free’ trade has engorged the ravening wolves sharpening their knives in the dark for our bloodletting, all the while emaciating and disenfranchising our own countrymen. ‘Woke’ corporations are a major threat to liberty, interested in becoming statist monopolies, eliminating families, and creating an ever-metastasizing scourge of new niche identity markets. Nor can we count on our politicized law enforcement agencies to assist; they vigorously pursue Klansmen under every bed, but incidents like the Las Vegas massacre are swept under the rug, federal officials openly commit treason, and figures like Jeffrey Epstein (having already escaped justice once before) are suicided. Then who? There is undoubtedly still sound feeling among the rank and file of the military, but the extent to which the institution has been compromised by gang infiltration and the social engineering of the Obama Administration is unclear. There is no easy political solution. Just look at the attempted Deep State coup against President Trump, a moderate, pragmatically instinctual civic nationalist. We face an enemy, a coalition of the damned, that despises us for who we are, for the color of our skin, for our values, for our ‘clinging’ to outdated trivialities like nation and God. Driven to obliterate what they know they could never create, they will stop at nothing to destroy us. We have nothing in common with each other at all. At least in the 1860s we (arguably) prayed to the same God. We are dealing with ‘true believers’ of nihilism now. The urban coastal elite looks into the rest of the country and sees nothing but a backwards people to be cleared away, exterminated and replaced. It can’t even be said that we live in the same country. The Democrats are on a totalitarian jihad, and the Republicans, whistling past the graveyard, only care that Wall Street is running smoothly and that they’re not being called mean by pink-haired protesters. Simple separation has been attempted before, and events would follow a similar course in that once again, our enemies cannot abide in a world in which there exists a single mind not under their total control. Theirs is a religious crusade against all that is holy; they hate families, whose fidelity and love are the last obstacle (more primal a defense even than firearms) in the path of state power. This boot on our throats is only let up so that more of their social engineering can be forced down. We are persecuted and harassed if we do not celebrate their defiling agenda of degeneracy. They have engendered a deeper hatred and bitterness than ever has existed here. A civil war is coming. It’s only a matter of time, and of what the spark will be. The inevitable attempt at disarmament may provide this, as it will almost certainly be seen for what it is, the straw that breaks the camel’s back, the death knell for our liberty, the last thing in the way of physical slavery. The family, our speech (and thus our thought), and our means of defense, all dissolving before our eyes. We face utter annihilation if we do nothing. The apocalyptic chaos of Mexico is our future if the rulers of the darkness of this world are left to their own devices. Our country is an unrecognizable outpost of the open society, made so deliberately in the unprecedented span of only a generation. Since our national sovereignty was ceded in 1965, we have gained ‘the world’, and lost our home, our border, our distinction, and our humanity. Europe is perhaps already lost. But we are not. We can still reclaim our birthright. We are the last bastion of civilization itself. We must carry the fire. We cannot give in and sink into the ever-widening chasm of misery waiting to wrap its arms around us. We must unite. We are the counterculture. We must work to leave Carthage and return to Mayberry, to dismantle the Empire and rebuild the Republic, to bring about traditional, religious, and national revival, the restoration of life in the face of death. Tradition, it must be remembered, is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. We must stand firm in the fact that there is a right way, that we are not the same, that we are better, that theirs is the path of hell. We must once again build a nation in which families can form and flourish, in which we can feel safe and call home. It will take a belief in the future; not just a future, but our future. We must not be ashamed of ourselves or of our history, but proud. We owe nobody an apology. We must again realize what is important and distinguish it from the false egalitarian idols of ‘progress’ and ‘diversity’. We must stop being afraid, and say what we think, when we want, to whomever we want. We cannot play their games; let them call us names. We cannot think and speak on their terms; call things as they are: Infanticide, not abortion; Invasion, not immigration, whether legal or illegal; The War for Southern Independence, not the Civil War; Disarmament, not gun control; Prostitute, not sex worker. Who cares if some touchy nihilist calls you ‘problematic’ or a ‘racist’? And since when was ‘nationalist’ a dirty word? Are we afraid of being called ‘haters’? Hatred may certainly exist without love, but love cannot exist in the absence of hatred. For if we truly love something, we must necessarily abhor those fighting tooth and claw to tear it asunder. We must rage against the dying of the light, lest we go gentle into that good night. We must not allow ourselves to be vilified as ‘radicals’ or ‘extremists’, words designed to discourage others from joining our cause. Rather, it is imperative that we be clear just which side is radical; we, the lighthouses piercing a roiling gale, the fingers damming the dike, the keepers of the flame, or the arsonists piling fuel into the conflagration threatening to engulf hundreds of years of toil? We must also remember that ‘victimhood’, feigned weakness, is their greatest weapon, and we mustn’t fall for it. They manufacture guilt, thereby handicapping us in bondage. To paraphrase Voltaire, the powerful are those whom we are not permitted to criticize. The ‘victims’ have our power. It is ours to retrieve. We may only be ridden while our backs are bent and our knees are bowed; no longer will we be cattle and chattel. The good times aren’t over for good; there are more of us than we realize. We need only stir to send our alien occupiers and their carpetbagger, scalawag, and Hessian handmaidens packing. We have everything to lose. Our country. Our dignity. Our past. Our future. Until Christ returns, there is no one coming to save us. It is up to us. Let’s roll.
We face a clear choice, in sharp relief, between life and death. Our unnatural society is ruled by monsters engaged in a murder-suicide. This occurs in such a way that events appear isolated, each violation normalized before another takes place, lulling us into a false sense of security, of natural progress as an organically changing society. There is no such thing as coincidence. This is death by a thousand cuts; if we zoom out and examine the image in full, it becomes clear that this murder-suicide is an intentional, coordinated agenda. ‘Our’ deracinated rulers are sicker and more depraved than we can possibly imagine. They are evil incarnate. They have decided that life is not worth living, and they prolong their suicide day after day, their empty, hedonistic, and transactional lives bereft of meaning. They have chosen death over life, and they are taking us with them, celebrating our demise. The bells are ringing. Let them kill themselves. But we cannot let them kill us. We must remain steadfast as the machinery of our dispossession accelerates, as the center of our world spins away, as we swing between aphelion and perihelion. Their culture of death is perhaps best exemplified in the grotesque Weimar sexual nihilism running rampant in our society. Pornography drains our vitality and poisons our minds with sick fantasies that don’t even attempt to approximate a depiction of love, of intercourse in any real sense of the word. Under the flickering veil, love is supplanted by bodies fucking in the dark like the twisted metal of a car wrapped around a tree. This clockwork orgasm, a frostbitten wail from the void for warmth and form, is too debauched even for animals. Pornography is the epitome of debasement, valorizing horrific acts between members of the same family, between the generations, between platonic friends. No relationship is healthy or freed from sexual competition and domination. Certainly, pornographers are selling something, but their product is not pornography, nor is it pleasure. It is an agenda, the culture of death, decadent id gratification, the elevation of flesh over all else. We can hardly wonder at a callous society when we realize that this is what passes for the sexual education of our young, what their first conception of sex is based upon. It is the death ethic, a nihilism so pervasive that notions of life and love are strangled out of sight, just beyond the frame. What is abortion but an extension of this same holocaust, this foreclosure of the future? Millions of children murdered, millions of lives taken, and for what? So erstwhile mothers can go to college? And what values are inculcated as the empowered woman gets an ‘education’? Hatred of self, of family, of nation, and more abortion, abortion of the possibility of happiness and a future. In college, she ‘goes out’ (but only on weekends, mind you, she’s an A student) and obliterates her consciousness in a black vortex of despair, coupling with the first half-put together male to make some enlightened paean to feminism and social justice, the starlight in her eyes doused with liquor, only to wake up thrilled for the next night! Except she isn’t. She’s miserable. She wants to think she’s empowered, because her college, her friends, popular culture, and ‘models’ and ‘influencers’ on social media have told her for her whole life that she should dress as revealingly as possible and behave as breezily and ‘easy-going’ as possible, be ‘open’ to new experiences and ‘celebrate’ her body. Yet when she does as she’s supposed to, partaking in perverted ‘free love’ philosophy, believing her vile conformity some kind of ‘rebellion’, she is ruined. She objectifies herself, making a desperate plea in the crowded club, and her cries are drowned in more booze, more men, more feminist theory. She closes out the possibility of stability, of happiness, of self-respect, aborts it like the children she never wants. She shouts her abortion; indeed, she shouts it to stifle a deafening scream, the lorn and disconsolate sound of emptiness, of barren desolation. She has too many important things to do. Her college degree guarantees her entry into the market, and what could be more important? She has allowed will-o’-the-wisps to guide her out of her exalted, beautiful, all-important place as mother and enslave her in the cynical, grim market, where she labors as one more cog in another machine. She has enslaved herself and disrupted nature, despoiling the holiness of hearth and home. She has mistaken chains for power, and believed the vipers who told her that marriage and childbirth was the oppression, the porn stars and prostitutes who told her that being a housewife is too degrading. The apotheosis of this artificial leveling of male and female is allowing women to ‘serve’ in military combat; this truly is the mark of a culture that longs for death. Some will argue that two incomes are necessary in ‘today’s economy’; to this, we must firmly state that this is a lie perpetuated by those who do not want us to form families, to whom the idea of the family is anathema. They want both parents working. They believe that the state is the perfected family. Yet no bureaucratic organization can ever hope to replace this most fundamental lodestar of humanity. We must also ask, if indeed this is ‘progress’, if indeed we are so ‘wealthy’, so ‘advanced’, why cannot we enjoy the fruits of our ever-increasing labor and allow parents more time with their children? Why does the progressive utopian ethic never cease, as horizon gives way to horizon? Is it perhaps that their pyrrhic ‘utopia’ can never be realized? It is a godless society that has fallen to our sunken depths. In rational secular atheism, in postmodern relativism, there are no values, no conceptions of right, just, good, or true. There are no distinctions; all paths are equal. There is only the egalitarianism of abyss, equality of outcome finally achieved in misery and consummated in the grave. Into this morass we have blindly charged, full speed ahead, from God’s light into Satan’s night. Sodom and the Canaanites are pillars of Puritanism compared to our corroded world. Sexual nihilists control the marketplaces of ideas; an infinitesimal lunatic minority of the population is being allowed to engineer the future of all of our children. An alphabet soup of mental illnesses masquerading as ‘gender identities’ have piggybacked onto our already hypersexualized culture (ever seen what juvenile cheerleading and dance uniforms look like now?) and formulated a campaign to forever destroy the innocence of our children. Public libraries and mainstream daytime talk shows targeted at mothers popularize and normalize abominations like ‘drag kids’, confused little children whose attention-whore social-justice-warrior white-knight parents have ventriloquized them into dressing as burlesque transvestites and suggestively dancing as homosexuals and pedophiles, often overlapping groups, ogle and throw money at them. A legion of psychiatrists and surgeons are manipulating disoriented children and then mutilating their genitals in the name of…of what? ‘Tolerance’? In the name of suicide and psychosis? Parents who object are declared unfit, their brainwashed (online, at school, and at the doctor’s office) children taken from them so they can reach progressive paradise and become wards of the state. A campaign has even begun for the normalization of pedophilia. What will it take for us to do something, to do anything? Is nothing sacred? Hideous monstrosities like these are being shoved down our throat every day, and we’re supposed to tell them it tastes good. You don’t want us to castrate your son? You’re a bigot. While our politicians squabble about fake crises like ‘Russian interference’, ‘white supremacy’, and pagan ‘climate change’, our country is dying. Rotting from within, a deep despair has taken root and feeds on our soul. Our urban areas are approaching failed state levels of collapse. An ever-expanding, unpoliced, unobstructed, but above all welcomed and rewarded population of foreign invaders and American homeless have created an environmental and public health crisis, as the Third World reaches ours. As feudal coastal elites preach about some amorphous and faceless idea of ‘the climate’ and ‘the earth’, their cities drown in human feces, used condoms, spent needles, and churning waves of trash. As they jet around the globe to fight jungle pathologies, these same afflictions wreak havoc in our communities. Counterfeit environmentalists smile for the flashing lights at leftist fundraisers as the real environment is saturated with chemicals, as unmanaged forests are burned by vagrants and traffickers, as parks metamorphose from family picnicking spots to gang initiation sites. We forget that environmental conservation and agrarianism are conservative programs; our poisoned landscape of strip-malls, high-rises, and methadone clinics is the product of deracinated leftism. Utterly corrupt leftists officials practice anarcho-tyranny, aided and abetted by violent brownshirts, catering to criminals and penalizing law-abiding citizens, responding to the greatest drug crisis in our history with the Orwellian ‘harm reduction’ of injection sites and needle exchanges, the spread of marijuana across the realm, and the release of drug dealers from prison en masse. Excellent priorities. What does it say about us that we have a generation searching for God in its veins and down a bottle? Body snatchers came overnight and took our country, replacing it with a husk. There’s a war on, and we are losing. Hundreds of thousands of Americans, the descendants of the pioneers, have plummeted like Icarus and died like refuse in the past few years because of this despair. Addiction is not an illness any more than suicide is. While the epidemic is a symptom of the black hole devouring us from within, the gaping maw of Satan hungrily licking his lips, it was inarguably created deliberately by pharmaceutical companies and the doctors on their payrolls and is being perpetuated by the Chinese state and the Mexican narco-state. Our government has not held those responsible to account. We are adrift, rudderless, the ground swept from underneath our feet. Not only are our lives growing shorter and measurably more miserable, but our bodies seem to be losing their will as well; male sperm counts have collapsed. These are symptoms of a choice; our culture has chosen death and decadence over life, hollow ‘pleasure’ and ‘fun’ over all else, too myopic to have sight of a future in which we survive, bequeathing nothing to a nonexistent posterity. "Assisted suicide’, a wonderful European import, allows people to choose death for any invented ill; even more, though, it sends the signal that our society would rather exterminate the weak than spend time and money on care. Our community centers, skating rinks, pools and movie theaters are abandoned, gone to seed, turned into meeting spots for criminals, not safe to visit after dark. Our churches stand empty. Our politicians and corporations, enriched in corruption, have sold us up the river for their bottom lines. American companies that would not even exist had the taxpayers not bailed them out against their will lay off workers by the tens of thousands, import peasants who work for slave wages, and give their executives record paydays. Gone is the noblesse oblige of the first Gilded Age. Factories close, towns die, and the homes that families spent generations improving become crack dens and brothels. This is the product of an atomized society. Leftists control our social spaces; their greatest fear is of human relationships and camaraderie. Theirs is the world of Los Angeles, point A to point B with nothing in between but driverless cars. In their cities, mere filing cabinets of pod people forbidden to own, permitted only to rent, millions of people have casual, ephemeral transactions each day, and are thus nominally exposed to one another. Yet these cannot constitute relationships, and serve only to increase our frustrated isolation, our sense that something vital is missing, our wish for this something more, this something inaccessible. Our estrangement from one another is exaggerated by every meaningless interaction we conduct, our alienation and resentment inflamed with every dopamine rush on every backlit screen. Thus has ‘social’ media destroyed social organization, tearing asunder the very fabric of society, of how we relate to one another. Social media is the instrument of disconnection, of isolation, of suicide, each post a desperate cry that someone, somewhere, cares. Our flesh is fed in squalor and decrepitude, while our soul is starved. They openly despise everything that makes us who we are. In their Cultural Revolution, our history is rewritten as monuments are destroyed and streets and buildings are renamed. Welcome to Year Zero. Our traditions, our God, and our people are under ceaseless assault. After they have driven Old Dixie down, they will come for Old Glory. Christmas becomes just another ‘winter holiday’. Thanksgiving becomes a celebration of the merciless savages (pardon me, ‘indigenous peoples’) who preyed on our forefathers and a penitential day of mourning for their defeat. The Great Replacement is underway; as our country’s stock is depleted by abortion, feminism, and death cults like ‘climate change’, homosexuality, and transgenderism, tens of millions of foreign aliens openly invade our land, pouring across our pathetic, wide open border, encouraged by the snarling imperials of the coasts, whose small stretches of land from Los Angeles to San Francisco and New York to Baltimore are allowed to subjugate the entire country. Theirs is the globalist imperialism of the European Union variety, a depersonalized faceless technocratic state whose sole purpose is to eradicate the natural man and replace him with a shapeless automaton barking like a seal the party line. As our Marxist entitlement programs collapse around us, our leaders deign to hit the gas pedal and expand them while further pilfering the citizenry, to whom none of these programs even benefit. They scheme to place healthcare under state control, literally forcing us to put our lives in their filthy, incompetent hands. Death panels are to decide whether our children live or die, the elderly are encouraged to submit to assisted ‘suicide’, and we wait months for simple procedures. They are not only insulated from the consequences of their policies, but also often have no children. How can Merkel give a damn about the future of Europe if she has no children to worry for? If all this seems illogical, it isn’t; the answer is that they do not want us to succeed. It isn’t incompetence; nay, far from it. They want us to die, along with them. It is a program of ruthless efficiency, the liquidation of the benighted and deplorable American kulak. Organized Christianity is in crisis, riven by the same divide between the ruling class and the country class that is breaking our nation apart. Christians have been betrayed by their leadership. The Catholic ‘Church’ is honeycombed with homosexuals, who have perpetrated one of the most massive pedophile abuse scandals in history; their Pope is a globalist demagogue who celebrates any and all Leftist causes, from the ‘climate change’ hoax to the Islamic colonization of Europe. One gets the feeling that he will not rest until the Vatican has been razed, a mosque flying the black flag of the Islamic State erected in its place. Witness the silence regarding the attack on Notre Dame; we all know what happened. Catholic organizations are perhaps the largest financiers and actors involved in executing the West through mass immigration, both with the Orient inundating the Occident in Europe and the global South invading the United States. The Episcopal ‘Church’ website features immigration promotion on its homepage. One of the marquee issues that it proclaims to value is Orwellian “racial reconciliation”. Under its ‘what we believe’ section, the ‘Church’ makes clear its worship of homosexuality. The United Methodist ‘Church’ website invites members to “stand with migrants”, “stand against racism”, and “combat climate change”. These denominations are clearly lost. Many of them have essentially thrown out the Bible altogether. One is hard-pressed to even discover a Bible in the National Cathedral. The Southern Baptist Convention remains the last major denomination that preaches the inerrancy of the Scripture, but even its leadership shows signs of the selfsame Leftist infiltration. An early indication of a split between the Convention’s ruling and country class was revealed when the leadership immediately praised the landmark Brown Supreme Court decision, while the body of its membership throughout the South was shell-shocked. The Convention adopted a resolution against its own 1845 founding, by unnecessarily condemning slavery in 1995. The brilliant columnist Samuel Francis was expunged from the Washington Times and consigned to the wilderness after he correctly noted that slavery was not itself a Biblical sin, and that therefore the Convention’s resolution was a fruitless and basely political effort at maintaining its relevance. The Convention passed a resolution adopting anti-white, anti-Southern, and anti-Christian critical race theory in 2019. The thin Baptist Courier, the official publication of the South Carolina Baptist Convention, contained multiple exhortations to “anti-racism” in its most recent issue. The First Baptist Church of Naples, Florida, is currently engaged in internecine conflict; after a black Leftist pastor lost the election to become its new pastor, the church ‘pastoral staff’ bureaucracy unfoundedly accused its congregation of “racism” and called for its “sinful” members to “confess and repent”. The President of the Convention even called to eliminate “any vestige of this kind of sinful prejudice”. The church bureaucracy targeted dozens of members for expulsion, emailing them that they had been “removed from our membership”, that their souls were no longer being watched over, and that they must “leave our staff alone”. Conservative congregations, now made into dissidents, have begun seceding from the Convention. Christianity has long been afflicted by Leftism; one can go back to the 1859 martyrdom and canonization of the murderous terrorist John Brown by apostate Puritan Yankees, church bells a-ringing. Paul Gottfried’s masterful Multiculturalism and the Politics of Guilt is one of the best examinations of this phenomenon, the susceptibility of Christianity to the new “secular theocracy”, with ‘social justice’ as the propitiation of sin for ‘white privilege’. The largest evangelical publication, Christianity Today, recently argued for the impeachment of President Trump for “immorality”; never mind the magazine’s promotion of amnesty for the heathen masses of illegal alien pedophiles and murderers, or its celebration of Stalinist theologian Karl Barth. The largest ‘Christian’ corporation is Chick-Fil-A, a company that has apparently been lying to its Christian customer base for years while funding the anti-white, anti-Western, and anti-Christian ‘Southern’ ‘Poverty’ ‘Law’ Center and the homosexual and transgender youth outfit Covenant House. Kanye West’s intransigent “Closed on Sunday” hearkens back to yesteryear, a time in which Christians still believed Chick-Fil-A was one of us, rather than a sponsor for ‘drag queen story hours’. The most visible ‘Christians’ are the leaders of megachurches, multimillionaire motivational speakers like Joel Osteen. What hath ‘modernization’ wrought? Christianity is inherently anti-modern. Christianity must necessarily be fundamental, that unchanging bedrock upon which all else rests. To modernize is to bastardize. The hymnal is supplanted by the projector screen, the choir becomes pop, and the Bible is dumbed-down and translated further and further away from the Truth, into alien tongues and infantile English; it seems no coincidence that there are almost no churches left that use the King James Version, the closest to the Truth that the English language can attain. Many churches no longer preach from the Bible at all. Those churches that do still use bits and pieces of the Bible have largely fallen prey to the ‘God is love’ fallacy; this is not the space to elaborate on this point, but I point readers both to the Bible and to Jack Kerwick’s excellent piece in The Agonist, “Christianity’s Divine Hatred”. Organized Christianity has capitulated. The cost of this cowed silence has been enormous; our nation has fallen, our culture degraded, our faith corroded. Addiction, depression, and suicide reign ascendant. According to the General Social Survey, atheism is now our largest faith. Pew Research has predicted that Islam could become the third-largest religion in our country within the next two decades. In twenty states, Islam is already there. American and European churches will continue to stand empty, so long as their leaders continue to promulgate Leftist politics. Christianity is necessarily mutually exclusive with Leftism; one cannot serve two masters, antithetical to one another. These people are no more ‘Christian’ than Ilhan Omar is ‘American’. These charlatans have infiltrated and hollowed our institutions out from within, our pearls cast before swine, trampled underfoot and rent against us. They crave the adoration of a world which hates them, having forgotten that friendship with the rulers of the darkness of this world is enmity with God. They have torn down our altars and replaced them with nothing. Organized Christianity stands for nothing. What is the point of going through the motions of faith if not to defend God and His inerrant Word? What is the point if not to take a stand? What can Christians expect but the accelerated evisceration of the ranks of the faithful when they celebrate all that is unholy? Churches are supposed to provide an alternative, an oasis of purity in an impure world. The Church is supposed to be apart, in the world but not of it, not debasing itself by joining the BDSM horror show that has hijacked the culture. Religious revival can only be accomplished through an uncompromising return to the fundamentals. French reactionary Michel Houellebecq’s great novel Submission (released on the same day as the Charlie Hebdo attack) teaches an invaluable lesson for those of us willing to listen. An Islamist party is elected to power in 2022 France, in collaboration with the Socialists and the moderate conservatives, in order to prevent a National Front victory. As French Jews retire to Israel, the novel’s protagonist, a middle-aged professor, notes that he has nowhere else to go. He travels through the countryside and visits a monastery in Martel, named for that hero of the Occident, Charles Martel. Finally, the professor accepts the new, better life that conversion to Islam will give him: a prestigious promotion, beautiful wives selected for him, and a patriarchal society in which he no longer feels suicidally drained, exhausted as the aged branches of the willow of Europe sag, but rather renewed. His submission is thus his salvation. What does all of this mean? That in our depraved and unregenerate world, people seek absolution; we search longingly for meaning, for an escape, for a return to a world in which everything has not gone horribly wrong. Christians must ask ourselves what exactly it is that we have to offer. If the answer is nothing, the resounding silence of the void, what are we still doing here? If, however, the answer is regeneration, revival, and life, victory over death, we must stand and wage an aggressive battle to reconquer the culture. People are looking to fill that hole gnawing away at them, to silence that voice whispering that their lives are empty, to look up from their screens and see the sun shining down from above. If Christianity cannot or will not be the alternative, if Christians would rather participate in the orgiastic fire consuming our world, then people will seek solace in something else. Anything else. Clint Eastwood’s extraordinarily subversive Richard Jewell easily ranks as one of the year’s best films, if not its best. Eastwood, Paul Walter Hauser, Sam Rockwell, and Kathy Bates are at the zenith of their craft; superbly scripted, acted, and shot, it stands with Gran Torino as a poignant memorial to our fallen and degraded nation. The word ‘subversive’ is apt, for only a man with the brand and power of Clint Eastwood could have made this film. Richard Jewell strips the emperor of his robe and lays bare the hypocrisy, ineptitude, ruthlessness, and sheer evil of ‘our’ ruling class. It exposes the corroded institutions of our media and federal law enforcement agencies, revealing their soulless swamp creature denizens for the pathetic yet diabolical hacks that they are. Richard Jewell was a security guard working at Centennial Park during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. He discovered Eric Rudolph’s bomb, and through his efforts saved hundreds of lives. The FBI zeroed in on Jewell as their prime suspect; agents leaked this to a sleazy journalist (sound familiar?), and Jewell’s trial by media began in earnest. This man, this hero, had his life raked over the coals and ruined by the corrupt CNN and Atlanta Constitution-Journal. They ridiculed his Southern accent and his lifelong aspiration of being a law enforcement officer. Were it not for the shrewdness of Jewell and his attorney, Watson Bryant, the FBI may have succeeded in destroying the life of an innocent man, as they have many times before. Though this is not included in the film, Jewell won several settlements from the jackals that attempted to railroad him, including Piedmont College, NBC, and the New York Post; CNN settled as well, but never apologized. The retractions and apologies that did occur often fell on deaf ears, as they were never prosecuted as vigorously as the salacious allegations were. His attorney in these defamation suits was none other than Lin Wood, who is currently representing Nick Sandmann, the Covington Catholic High student tarred and feathered by the Washington Post and other outlets. It is telling that the first person to believe Jewell in the film, other than his mother, is the Russian secretary for Jewell’s attorney. Having lived in the Soviet Union, she understood that often, when everyone in the government and the media proclaim a man’s guilt ‘dead to rights’, he is in fact innocent. This selfsame Soviet cynicism afflicts our citizenry today, in a world in which we cannot trust anything printed under the hallowed marquees of our most prestigious papers, nor anything spewed forth from the mouths of those manicured faces on our vaunted cable networks. Witness the Tawana Brawley race hoax, or the scorched-earth campaigns against Darren Wilson and George Zimmerman. Witness the tabloid circus that came gunning for Brett Kavanaugh. The famous remark of the sadistic NKVD chief Lavrentiy Beria comes to mind: “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.” These people are capable of sending an innocent man to prison for the rest of his life for nothing. They are capable of anything. We’ve witnessed the unraveling of our institutions into brazen corruption; in our two-tiered justice system, heroes are made villains and vice versa, while their despoilers walk away scot-free. Witness Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone. What about Steve Stockman? Or Waco and Ruby Ridge? And yet the Democrats who have just impeached President Trump have the gall to wave the Constitution in our faces, all the while asserting their prayerful reverence for the maxim that in America, nobody is above the law. All of this begs the disquieting question: How long have our institutions been rotten? The infection has only just begun to be visible. How far must it have progressed such that they no longer even try to hide it? The term ‘ruling class’ is a more accurate descriptor than ‘elite’, for our rulers are most assuredly not elite, in any real sense. Our consecrated Ivy halls churn out Non-Player Characters capable only of parroting stale groupthink from the faculty lounge. They are incompetent but for their merciless willingness to annihilate; often they are incapable even of managing their own affairs, leaving in their wake a string of failed marriages and alienated children. Former FBI Director James Comey is their personification, a middle-aged Boy Scout (excuse me, Scout) suffering a martyrdom complex and delusions of grandeur. Jewell typified the sentiment that the citizens of a healthy, functional country should have toward their law enforcement agencies. He was raised to revere authority, to believe that government agents literally are the United States government. Jewell’s attorney pithily corrects him: these hollow men are not the government, but are rather pricks who work for the government. Near the end of the film, as Jewell is interviewed by several FBI agents, he launches into a beautifully righteous soliloquy. To paraphrase, he says that he used to think being a federal agent was the highest calling a man could have, but that now he is not so sure. He looks to the great seal of the Bureau emblazoned on the wall, the seal that once struck such awe into his heart; but no longer, his awe turned to ashes in his mouth. Is it so hard for our rulers to believe in heroes? To believe that Jewell was motivated by nothing other than a genuine desire to serve? They reward apathy and malice, while simultaneously discouraging self-sacrifice; after seeing these consequences, what security guard will ever report seeing a bomb again? Why wouldn’t he just run? Good men are scared away from public service, leaving our institutions populated by the remainder. If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? This film could not have come at a better time; a great deal of wisdom may be gleaned from it. We must especially encourage our children to see it, as it is not often that the truth slips through the censor’s sieve. What happened to this hero, who laid a rose at the site of the bombing each year until his far too early death, has happened to countless others. It will continue happening. It will only become worse if we do not heed Eastwood’s unspoken words. We are all Richard Jewell. “Is it just me, or are things getting crazier out there?” So opens the film Joker, charting a broken man’s descent into a sort of cathartic, redemptive madness. Joker, though not set in 2019, quite accurately captures the undercurrent of rage that palpably saturates our society. We cannot pinpoint the moment that we broke, the moment we strayed from the path and followed the will-o’-the-wisp that Richard Taylor warned us of 140 years ago: “Traditions are mighty influences in restraining peoples. The light that reaches us from above takes countless ages to traverse the awful chasm separating us from its parent star; yet it comes straight and true to our eyes, because each tender wavelet is linked to the other, receiving and transmitting the luminous rays. Once break the continuity of the stream, and men will deny its heavenly origin, and seek its source in the feeble glimmer of earthly corruption.” The film Vox Lux uses a school shooting and the September 11th attacks to mirror the corruption of a young woman into a pop star, a carnival house image of our drug-addled and hypersexual culture. As America lost her innocence, the film seems to say, so did the girl. We do not need to know the moment we broke, however; we reap the consequences of the severance every day. Simply turning on the television reveals a world ready to explode, a Falling Down Michael Douglas ready to abandon his car. Billionaire pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was almost certainly murdered, no matter what our betters in the media may proclaim. Perhaps the truth does not matter, as the public believes that it was a homicide; and how could they not? Every single safeguard in place failed. Any thinking man must find claims of rote bureaucratic incompetence ludicrous. Epstein was the procurer to and perhaps extortionist of some of the most powerful people on the planet. We will most likely never know his secrets now, the full depths of his and his friends’ depravity. This certainly adds grist for the conspiracy mill, as dark rumors have swirled for years of pedophilia and Moloch worship in the corridors of political and media power. The fact that these murmurings persist and appear to be acquiring purchase among even skeptical observers demonstrates Americans’ deep distrust of our institutions, our unshakably insidious feeling that perhaps our self-appointed elites might in fact be evil, their deracinated Weimar degeneracy seemingly boundless. What must it signify that the idea of our nihilist and hedonist leaders engaging in satanic rituals seems plausible? Healthy societies are not driven to these conclusions. The minutiae are almost insignificant compared to the awful portent that this is. The death of Jeffrey Epstein is much more than a black eye for the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice; indeed, it is a sign not merely of the times, but of what is to come. The failed state on our southern border has effectively surrendered to the apocalyptic chaos of narco-terror; is Mexico the future? The cynicism and corruption of our elites seems to have reached new heights of brazenness, as the emperor sheds his cloak. Are we really to believe that the government of the United States cannot keep a man in federal custody, let alone a man of Epstein’s potential value, alive until his trial? Of course not. Our government is the most powerful in the history of the earth, with almost limitless mortal capability. What must this mean? We allowed this to happen. Just as we have stood by as a tiny lunatic fringe minority of homosexual and transgender activists have taken control of our domestic policy, campaigning to normalizing pedophilia and eradicate sexual innocence. Just as we have stood by as both parties accede to the private equity disembowelment of our once-thriving small towns, to the opening of prisons, to the destruction of the First and Second Amendments, and to the eradication of our borders. Just as we have stood by as Leftist-controlled cities collapse into failed Third World states, overrun by filth and violence, as authorities stand by while Democrat brownshirts enforce mob rule on the streets. Just as we have stood by as the Constitution is ‘interpreted’ so penetratingly by unaccountable ideologues that it has become nothing more than a mockery of itself. Just as we have stood by as the FBI and other law enforcement agencies have been reduced to political weaponry, as high officials commit treason and walk away with media adulation, as incidents like the Las Vegas massacre are barely investigated and then forgotten. Just as we have stood by as terrorists have completely assumed the education of our children; for what else should we call those that hate everything about us and wish to see us and our way of life exterminated? Just as we have stood by and allowed the culture of death to permeate society, from our ongoing holocaust of infanticide to the promotion of suicide to the reign of opioid drugs across the land, the descendants of the pioneers plummeting like Icarus into addiction. Just as we have stood by as the news media have transformed themselves into political propaganda machines, thereby ruining the idea of truth for growing millions who live in manufactured ‘realities’. Just as we have stood by as atheists and Islamists wage a largely successful jihad against Christianity, graciously assisted by the ‘Christian’ Left. Just as we have stood by as hatred of law enforcement soars, patriotism withers, and the military becomes one more frontier for social engineering. As our rights are lost day by day, as the term ‘American’ becomes a meaningless and contentless geographic designation, as our cities are transformed into unrecognizable outposts of the open society, as our political institutions appear more and more to be a grotesque farce, and as it becomes increasingly evident that it doesn’t matter who holds elected office, more and more Americans believe we approach ever nearer the precipice of civil war. In Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘America’, can we be blamed if we ask why we pay taxes, why we participate in the façade? We, who are capable of so much, have done so little to arrest the motion of our dispossession, the machinery of which gains traction and speed minute by minute. We have allowed all of this to happen with only token resistance from the Republican sheep costumed as our representatives in Washington, the Delectos, Flakes, Grahams, McCains, and Sasses of the party. None of this was even the slightest bit necessary, let alone inevitable. Have we lost the will to live? Are we afraid of being called ‘haters’? Hatred may certainly exist without love, but love cannot exist in the absence of hatred. For if we truly love something, we must necessarily abhor those fighting tooth and claw to tear it asunder. We may only be ridden while our backs are bent. The neoconservatives who dominate both our bipartisan political establishment and our national media have for decades now agitated for perpetual war. They have by and large been extremely successful. The neoconservative movement was inseminated by refugee Trotskyites during the Cold War, and emerged from the collapse of the Soviet Union as the standard-bearers of the American ‘Right’. In reality, through a series of purges, the neoconservatives coopted the Right, Cuckoo birds in the warbler’s nest. These fungal Cordyceps body-snatchers, an ever-metastasizing cancerous Blob, silenced any true voices of the Right. Much like the replacement of the Historic American Nation, true patriots were replaced by the controlled opposition of Ben Shapiro and David French. Instead of Pat Buchanan, we got George W. Bush. Instead of the Republic, we got the Empire. This process continues today, with Conservatism Inc.’s cuckservative mainstays Turning Point USA and Young America’s Foundation vilifying the America First nationalists and identitarians making a good faith effort to engage with the President of the United States’ nominal agenda: the one that over sixty million Americans elected. While traitorous neoconservatives employ their army of political action committees, think tanks, lobbyists, journalists, and kleptocrats to advocate endless war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria, soon to be followed by Iran and Russia, they remain silent regarding our real enemies. While enormous energy is expended to whip up donnybrooks all over the world in countries that pose no conceivable threat to the United States or to Americans, our true enemies go unscathed, uncriticized, unabashed. While a parade of vapid diplomats bemoans President Trump’s lackluster devotion to our greatest ally, Ukraine, an American family is slaughtered just south of our border. Where are their Congressional hearings? While China stuffs the pockets of our politicians, and our own Department of Justice shelters Saudi Arabia from any incrimination in the September 11th attacks, the cries for intervention in Iran continue apace. If these tough-guy neoconservatives truly cared for America, if they truly wished to fight our enemies abroad, wouldn’t we be hearing the same deafening and ubiquitous calls for war against China? Wouldn’t we be deluged with talking heads advising limited strikes in Saudi Arabia? Wouldn’t Max Boot be slamming his fists down on MSNBC demanding that Mexico be named a state sponsor of terror, or at least that the cartels be named terror groups? But of course, we don’t, and we won’t, because they don’t care. They don’t care that Saudi Arabia has been implicated in the deadliest terror attack in American history. They don’t care that hundreds of thousands of Americans have been massacred in open warfare by Chinese fentanyl manufacturers (remember, China is a police state with total control over what goes on within its borders) and Mexican cartels working in concert. They don’t care that the same Mexican cartels have cells honeycombed throughout the United States. This is not necessarily to say that these policies should be undertaken, but rather that the fact they are not promulgated by the shock-and-awe crowd exposes neoconservatives for the grifters they’ve always been. Perhaps, then, it’s time to acknowledge that neoconservatives have another agenda in mind. Perhaps it is no coincidence that all of their proposals weaken our country by depleting our resources, coopting and wasting our best and brightest patriots, dividing and distracting us from the despair devouring us from within like a black hole, and draining our spirit. Perhaps patriotism has been turned on its head into a sick joke on purpose. Why else would they ceaselessly provoke unnecessary war with irrelevant powers while ignoring those ravening wolves sharpening their knives in the dark, already engaged in warfare against our people? Why else would they drive us further down the path to destructive interventions we have no hope of winning? God forbid our Army actually defend us. |
