The sea is calm to-night.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand;
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,
Listen! you [...]

Since the rise of physical anthropology, the definition of the term “race” has undergone several changes. In 1899, William Z. Ripley stated that, “Race, properly speaking, is responsible only for those peculiarities, mental or bodily, which are transmitted with constancy along the lines of direct physical descent.” 1 In 1916, Madison Grant described it as [...]

“The classic thing white students say when you ask them to talk about who they are is, ‘I don’t have a culture.’”
- University sociologist
A culture is the achievement of a particular blood line.
As such, “culture wars” may be seen as ultimately blood wars between competing conceptions of race and identity.
The culture war in the university [...]

“Race is just a social construction.” We’ve all heard that refrain touted in textbooks, in the mainstream media, and by little vigilantes with fresh Bachelor’s degrees in anthropology, sociology, Africana Studies, or some other field which served to make them experts in little other than racial equality. In fact, we’ve heard that allegation so often [...]

Alexandr Solzhenitsyn’s 200 Years Together is finally being translated into English. The first chapter is available online. For those unfamiliar with Solzhenitsyn’s book, it discusses the Jews and the Soviet Union. Dr. MacDonald has some commentary over at The Occidental Observer worth checking out.

No One (White) Is Responsible for Anything.
That’s the screaming headline of the Rev. David L. Ostendorf’s lead article at Imagine 2050, the web publishing arm of the Center for New Community, a Chicago-based “civil rights organization.” Mr. Ostendorf is upset that White America is not being browbeaten into collective racial guilt over the Gulf Oil [...]
Racially aware European Americans generally hold one of three positions regarding partisan politics:
Some see the Republican Party as an implicitly White party that could be accessed and guided toward positions explicitly favoring European Americans. Persons holding this position point to David Duke who ran and won as a Republican in Louisiana, and Derek Black who [...]

From the viewpoint of racial nationalism, the musical genre known as Black Metal is one of the most significant popular culture phenomena of the last two decades. Yet it has been seldom discussed by politically congenial scholars and commentators. This is surprising, since Black Metal runs counter to the post-World War II trends toward the [...]

Völkisch Thought and the Conservative Revolution
Some of the most fascinating aspects of Black Metal are its parallels with the ideas and sensibilities of the Conservative Revolution and the wider völkisch (populist) movement that swept Germany in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These similarities are so striking that Black Metal may well be considered, if [...]
Black Metal and the Return of Völkisch Thought
How did völkisch ideas resurface in popular culture? By the 1960s Christianity had entered a phase of decline in the West, following a long period of growing skepticism as well as hostility from political ideologies from both Right and Left. As has been the pattern in the [...]

Can the West and its peoples be saved?

Note: The following short synthesis of Schmitt’s classic essay The Concept of the Political stems, in part, from a recent discussion with the Bay Area Nationalist Book Club.
However it is posed, the question of the political is always about the most important issue facing every people.
The political, though, is not to be confused with “politics” [...]

An address given at The Occidental Quarterly Editor’s Dinner on October 30, 2008 in Atlanta, Georgia.
What is “sexual liberation”? It is usually spoken of by way of contrast with the constraints of marriage and family life. It would seem to be a condition under which people have more choice than under the traditional [...]
I recently watched the 2009 film, Paranormal Activity. This is a haunted house horror film that employs a hyperrealist approach reminiscent of The Blair Witch Project, where the actors do their own filming using a digital video camera, the acting is virtually improvised, and the result is presented as “found footage.”
The story is simple: a [...]
White Nationalist groups are almost exclusively men’s clubs, and most of the men are bachelors who complain that they cannot find suitable women. Furthermore, those men who are married frequently complain that their wives are indifferent or even hostile to their views about race. Men, it seems, are far more willing to espouse politically incorrect [...]
Political Philosophy and Human Genetic Diversity
Western Political philosophy tends toward moral and political universalism: the idea that norms are valid for all human beings. This presupposes either that human beings are biologically pretty much the same, or that human biodiversity is irrelevant to moral and political issues. Nevertheless, Western political philosophers initially limited their conclusions [...]
Civil War and Empire
Since colonial times Southerners had used imported African slave labor. Consequently they lived symbiotically with the most genetically different of Earth’s peoples.[23] Slavery continued after the Revolutionary War and became increasingly important as commercial cotton cultivation spread westward through the Gulf Coastal region at the start of Scots-Irish [...]

Although I agree with Larry [Auster] about the need for a moratorium on immigration, particularly from Latin America, and although I share his view that decadent, childless Europeans are committing physical and demographic suicide by repopulating their countries with lower-class Muslims, who often [...]
We Whites are in an increasingly perilous situation. More and more of our lives are at risk as the White percentage of the population declines worldwide.

We met Carl Schmitt in the village of Plettenberg, the place of his birth and retirement. For four remarkable hours we conversed with the man who remains unquestionably the greatest political and legal thinker of our time. “We have been put out to pasture,” said Schmitt. “We are like domestic animals [...]

Schmitt does not believe in the disappearance of the political. Any type of activity can take on a political dimension. The political is a fundamental concept of collective anthropology. As such, political activity can be described as substantial, essential, enduring through time. The state, on the other hand, enjoys only conditional [...]
Schmitt’s followers, extending and refining his thought, have with Rüdiger Altmann coined the concept of the Ernstfall (emergency case), which constitutes another fundamental criterion of the political. Political sovereignty and the credibility of a new political authority is based on the capacity to face and solve emergency cases. The dominant political ideologies, thoroughly steeped in [...]
Concerning the genesis of modern humanity, there are two primary theories that receive credence in anthropological circles. One is the “Out of Africa” hypothesis, which argues that today’s humans are the evolved descendants of a primitive race of hominids that, 70,000 years ago, departed its homeland in Africa and spread across the globe. Upon entering [...]
The Atlantean Silver Age
Hesiod’s poem continues with a discussion of a second age, “which the Celestials call the Silver years.”[24] In this period, man became subject to sickness and mortality. He no longer lived according to the absolute principles provided by his divine tutors during the Golden Age, and paid the [...]
One of the major disadvantages American white nationalists face is that American nationality can plausibly be separated from white racial identity. This is a huge difference compared to the European situation.
As Paul Gottfried notes, European countries are now defining their identity in terms of abstract human rights and some kind of [...]

So much progress …
