Post-Leftists Ruin Everything Around Me. Many of us grew up wishing for a Nietzschean renaissance. Well, our wish came true. We’re looking at it. There’s just one little problem: it isn’t Nietzchean. It’s a post-leftist popularization of Nietzsche, which is about as un-Nietzchean as you can get.

What Rachel Haywire calls the Art Right has gained a musical wing, and that wing has suddenly emerged as a phenomenon of mass culture. I’ve compiled a playlist of the greatest songs of the right-wing musical counter-revolution. I’ve included a mix of folk, country, and rap.

I’ve long been puzzled by the idealization of youth in the modern world. I mean that cultural tenet which views younger people as intellectually and morally superior to older people. It’s a very unusual view — virtually no society before modern society has held it.

Why Has our World Gone So Crazy? I explain that our contemporary “clown world” arises because of our rejection of the supra-physical. Our contemporary consensus is materialist monism. Nature is purely physical, and that pure physicality extends to human consciousness.

Post-Physicalist Physiocracy. In the follow-up article “Conservatism is Dead”, I explained that the existence of Gnon — the natural order — has political implications such that it must form the basis of a new right-wing philosophy, one that can replace dead conservatism.

"We have fallen upon evil times. The world has waxed old and wicked. Politics are very corrupt. Children are no longer respectful to their elders." So here we have the most powerful king in the known world seeing evidence of decline. And he was right.

The Seven Walls of Fortress America. Freedom is always under siege from tyrants. To protect themselves, the Founding Fathers of the United States erected the Constitution as a citadel of freedom. Like Minas Tirith, it was built with seven walls. All seven walls have been breached.

Freedom is always under siege from the roving bandits that seek to tyrannize and plunder the free. To protect themselves, the Founding Fathers of the United States erected the Constitution as a citadel of freedom. Like Minas Tirith, it was built with seven walls.

Nerd Among the Ruins, Part II. Why has our culture changed so abruptly and catastrophically? Julius Evola and his fellow Traditionalist traveler Rene Guenon would go one step further and offer an explanation of why this has all occurred. And their explanation would be, bluntly, occult action.

It is my belief that World War Next, when it occurs, will be a fight for global hegemony between what I have called “the World Ocean” powers and the “World Island” powers. It will be a total war, fought economically, military, socially, and politically, but it will not necessarily be a nuclear war.

World War Next. War is coming. Maybe not this month, maybe not this year, but it’s coming. Let’s explore what the next world war might look like, if the US, China, and Russia come to blows. This is a complex topic, so it might end up a multi-part series.

Back in December 2020, NPR tried to debunk the lab leak hypothesis. I immediately suspected this was a false claim. How did I know? My first heuristic for spotting propaganda: Anytime I see a quote that uses the phrases "zero evidence", ‘“scientists say,” and “baseless,” I know it's propaganda.

Running on Empty, Part IV: How the War between Russia and Ukraine is Destroying the Petrodollar System. Vladimir Putin is essentially the first world leader to defy the petrodollar successfully. There no longer seems to be any reasonable prospect of returning to the pre-war world order.

What most people are missing is that the western central banking system has always known that the petrodollar would fail. The neoliberal design is to replace the petrodollar with a “carbon dollar” system. They’re employing austerity in their target nations by raising food and energy prices.

How the Petrodollar System Restored, Then Ruined, America's Economy. America’s global hegemony is based on the petrodollar system and the Russo-Ukraine war is rapidly bringing that system to an end. The end of the petrodollar will be the end of the world order as we have known it since 1945.

Florida governor Ron DeSantis has announced plans to establish a state militia called the Florida State Guard. The mainstream media has characterized this as an event of unprecedented villainy. It will come as no surprise media is being dishonest and fraudulent on this issue. What’s the reality?

The update to Superman’s motto is simply another act of spoliation by the winners of the culture war. Spoliation means “incorporating art into a setting culturally or chronologically different from that of its creation.”

Why We Must Lay A New Foundation. Much of contemporary thought — broadly dubbed “postmodernism” — abandons both reason and reality. It is the philosophical universe in which progressivism has flourished, conservatism has failed, and physiocracy must somehow develop.

America today is a dystopia. The ruling class has pilfered the wealth and productivity of three generations of workers, financialized it into securities, and sold it to the globe. Now the factories and infrastructure of the country decay, and with them go our productive capacities.
