Subscription Drive for The Occidental Quarterly

I am the new editor of The Occidental Quarterly. TOQ fills a unique niche on the right in bringing together scholarly articles on a wide range of topics that are mired in political correctness elsewhere.

There are quite a few reasons for the precarious state of our civilization and our people. But one of the main ones is that we have lost the intellectual and moral high ground to a cultural elite that is hostile to our people and our culture. The domination of the mass media and the academic world by elites that are hostile to White identity and interests is a major barrier for educated Whites to act on behalf of their interests. White people cower in fear of being called a racist for believing and acting in ways that are absolutely normal and natural for all the other peoples of the world. While other peoples defend themselves, their culture and their borders, societies in Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand that have been controlled by Whites for hundreds of years are the only ones to accept their demise as a moral imperative. We view this outcome as the result of competition over the construction of culture in which the legitimate interests of Whites have been compromised.

A main purpose of TOQ is to change the attitudes of White people so that they will feel confident identifying as White and explicitly asserting their interests as Whites. Politically aware Whites must understand that the elites that dominate culture and the political process in the West are intellectually and morally bankrupt.

All of the scientific data are on our side. Increased ethnic diversity is associated with a host of societal ills, including decreased support for social welfare programs and lack of public trust. Those who argue that Western societies have a unique moral obligation to cede cultural and political control to non-Whites completely ignore the legitimate interests of Whites in maintaining their cultural and political control. No one argues that countries like Korea or Uganda have a moral obligation to allow other peoples to swamp the native population.

As editor, my first priority is to increase the number of subscribers. Subscriptions are only $40 for four issues — a very minimal amount – certainly not a financial burden to the vast majority of our target audience. Here is the link to our subscription page.

Having a large subscriber base will make it possible to for TOQ to be self-sustaining. We have established a policy whereby writers will be paid at rates that are competitive with other well-known journals of political opinion and scholarship. The amount of the stipend is not large. The writers who are putting in all the time and energy producing this material will still be working mainly to make a contribution to the ideas and ideals espoused by the journal. But it is important to get White advocacy beyond the volunteer level and to eventually support a large number of professional White advocates able to effectively compete with the legions of professionals who are able to find employment with our opponents.

The first issue under my editorship will soon be sent to the printer. I am sure that our readers will find it an exciting and informative reading experience. The issue will have four articles:

Patrick Cleburne and Kevin MacDonald: “Is the Madoff Scandal Paradigmatic?” This article discusses several books on the Madoff affair and relates the findings to other research on Jews.

Raymond Wolters: “The Latest Trend in School Reform.” This article recounts the history of failed attempts to raise the academic performance of African-American children. It focuses particularly on recently legitimated concerns about the culture of the Black family as the latest hope among the liberals for raising academic performance.

Kevin MacDonald: “Why are Academics Liberals?” This article discusses a recent important academic theory about why the academic world became a bastion of the left and shows that the findings are compatible with the conclusions of The Culture of Critique.

Roger Devlin: “Louis DeBonald: Neglected Anti-Modern.” Devlin reviews the writing of an early 19th-century French thinker who opposed many of the currents of modernity. His reasoned opposition to divorce is particularly interesting.

  1. I thought I was still subscribed, but I have not received an issue for a while now. Is there some easy way to tell when and if our subscription has ended?

    I sent a check months ago and my credit card was never charged. Please let us know whats going on. I have been a subscriber for 5 years now and I want to see OQ remain a viable academic outlet for decades to come.

    I still get excited when an issue comes in the mail!

    Let us know how we can help!

    “Is there some easy way to tell when and if our subscription has ended?”

    Typically, when a subscriber receives his final issue it will be mailed along with a renewal letter to indicate that his subscription has run out and it is time to renew.

    What a lot of people have started doing is joining our “Friends of TOQ” program where you can set up to automatically donate $10/month (PayPal) and receive an indefinite self-renewing subscription to TOQ which ships out in First Class Mail as soon as an issue gets printed. This way you can help TOQ survive, and neither of us have to worry about subscription renewals.

    To get set up for “Friends of TOQ”, email the editor…

    I subscribed over a year ago – got ONE issue many months after my check was cashed (Spring 2009) AND got a letter inside the envelope saying my subscription had lapsed!! Anyone in the office these days?

  5. There has been a change of editors. We know the records were a mess. The subscription problem is being sorted out now.

    I emailed $97.00 on 6/12 using my credit card and didn’t know until I received the credit card statement if the moneywas ever received(it was). Obviously TOQ has a real organizational problem.

  7. As of this month there’s been a complete change in administration. Obviously there will be some left over problems, but going forward things should be drastically improved.

  8. The new journal’s been received and looks great. Well done.

  9. Would a sizeable estate contribution be welcome, preferably sent through a nontaxable organization, possibly the Society?
    It should not be so hard to give away money! Hope you can tell me how.
