JR is definitely an interesting writer, and perhaps the most noteworthy analyst beyond William Lind and Lew Rockwell out there. I'm fairly critical of his overuse of jargon but there is a method in this technique which is to create a new vocabulary for the intelligence community (and students of warfare) that has stuck to Cold War era ways of thinking and describing threats. He also wears many hats and it appears to me that he covets a government sponsorship to continue his think tank-like work on terrorism in a global economy. But he also seems to have a pragmatic sense of justice in that where or if government forces fail to respond effectively to a crisis he has given a full blueprint to non state actors on how to influence their communities for the better (or challenge other actors who are making it worse). It's my opinion that tribalists or political activists not aware of his insights are will have a somewhat obsolete paradigms with which to understand the world we live in today, which is a compelling reason to understand his views on resilient communities, terrorism, governments, market forces and the so-called global guerrillas.

I began blogging in 2005 as an ordinary deracinated independent and quickly followed the neoconservatives into anti-jihadism. By <a href="http://age-of-treason.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html" rel="nofollow">March 2006</a> I had become alarmed about the immigration invasion that was quickly transforming my surroundings, and from that point on I became more skeptical and disillusioned with neoconservativism. By <a href="http://age-of-treason.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html" rel="nofollow">May 2007</a> I could see clearly that our politicians are alienated from the citizenry they are sworn to serve, and by their attempts to shove amnesty down our throats the government, at the highest levels, has proven themselves illegitimate. It wasn't until <a href="http://age-of-treason.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html" rel="nofollow">September 2007</a> that I really, finally confronted the rotten reality of jewish influence and age-old animus against Whites. It simply too well explained many things that had previously confounded me as mysterious contradictions, gibbering nonsense, and strange hostility coming from both "left" and "right". Almost two years on I have a broader and deeper appreciation of the White/jewish fault line, and also for the people who have long recognized and opposed the ever increasing aggression against Whites. I credit The Occidental Quarterly Online for gathering and sharing the kind of frank and intelligent writing that helps myself and others better comprehend the confused and demoralizing cacophony coming from "respectable" "mainstream" pundits. Thanks again. Thank you for the praise, though I must say I don’t treasure everything in my trove, especially the older posts.
