My New Year’s Resolutions

Jef Costello

2,790 words

Every year, near the end of December, I establish plans for the coming year. The centerpiece of these plans is ten resolutions – no more, and no less. I’ve had a lot of practice at this, and I’ve discovered that more than ten major resolutions is usually too ambitious, whereas fewer than ten is not ambitious enough. Read more …

US Senator Brian Schatz (D.-Hawaii)

The latest, and at age 40 youngest, US Senator is Hawaiian Democrat Brian Emanuel Schatz. He obtained his lofty post not by election but by appointment. As an incumbent, he will enjoy a built-in advantage when he campaigns for election in late 2014, which he intends to do.

The Relevance of Philosophy to Political Change

Greg Johnson

3,526 words

Translations: French, Polish

The title of this essay is somewhat misleading, since I am going to argue that philosophy is relevant to all human endeavors, not just politics.[1] Philosophy is not just metapolitical, but meta-everything.[2] But I know you are interested in political change, so that was my hook to get you reading. Furthermore, I will argue that philosophy is more than just relevant to life, but of paramount importance.

Conservatism is Unrealistic

Behind Trouble with Father

Andrew Hamilton

Stu Erwin and wife June Collyer in “Trouble with Father”

2,839 words

An online blogger and CC commenter recently pointed out that everything is a “goddamned cold fish to the face.” As often as possible, I like to discover where that comes from.

Recently I experienced the cold fish to the face phenomenon while watching an old episode of Trouble with Father (ABC, 1950–1955), a half-hour TV comedy series starring Stu Erwin and his real-life wife June Collyer. (The show is known under several different names, including The Stu Erwin Show.) Read more …

Revolution from the Periphery:
The Lessons of Nueva Germania

Gregory Hood

Elisabeth Nietzsche, 1846–1935

5,070 words

The concept of “Revolution from the Periphery” is an important contribution to Traditionalist thought as once proud centers of culture sink ever further into decadence. The system of control deployed against whites is strengthening its grip, and “the Collapse” is still a dream. If anything, anarcho-tyranny is becoming more widespread, and the forces pushing radical egalitarianism are removing the velvet glove to reveal the mailed fist beneath.

The Lord’s Prayer in Scottish Gaelic

In 1766, English writer Samuel Johnson penned a letter to William Drummond, an Edinburgh bookseller, regarding the translation of the Bible into the “Erse or Gaelic language” as biographer James Boswell put it in The Life of Samuel Johnson (1791).

Certain members of “the society in Scotland for propagating Christian knowledge” (undoubtedly meaning the Society in Scotland for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge (SSPCK), opposed translation of the Bible into Scottish Gaelic because it would be contrary to national unity. Read more …

El discurso realizado por Guillaume Faye en la conferencia de American Renaissance del año 2006 fue bastante agitado. La mayoría de la gente ha oído hablar del infame incidente de Michael Hart.[1] Sin embargo, en mi opinión, algo mucho más importante se produjo durante el discurso de Faye, algo que más tarde me pareció revelador.

Politicized Science vs. Scientific Politics

Alex Kurtagić

Gabriel von Max, “The Vivisectionist,” 1883, detail

2,731 words

It may seem ironic for those who are said to have “far Right views,” but perhaps one of the biggest obstacles in the struggle for the West is the far Right’s obsession with the scientific understanding of human races. It is not so much that scientific knowledge about race is irrelevant to our political purpose (which is the struggle for the West), but, rather, that this science is thought to possess a political utility it does not and will never have.
