Psychanalyse de judaïsme
Hervé Ryssen
Levallois: Éds. Baskerville, 2006
“The Psychoanalysis of Judaism” is Hervé Ryssen’s second book on the Jews.
For Ryssen, who rejects neither the ethnoracial nor the religious designation of Jews, it is their mentality that most distinguishes them from other peoples.
To understand this mentality, his first book, Les Espérances planétariennes (2005), looked at the “planetary [...]

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, both [...]
The two administrations of Dwight D. Eisenhower would be qualitatively less sympathetic to civil rights than was Truman’s.

Though no racist, Eisenhower wasn’t keen on civil rights. Under his administration, blacks [...]
Leonard Zeskind’s Searchlight article “Stateside: The far right in Obama’s first year” argues that the election of Barack Obama has not been a boon for white nationalists, citing low turnouts for David Irving, David Duke, and Council of Conservative Citizens events.
Zeskind notes that there has been an increase in discussion of secession and racial [...]
However phony, the conflicts and tensions of the Cold War were very real — for the “war” was turned into a titanic ideological battle between Communism and liberalism over which system would shape the coming postwar order.
In this struggle, racial equality and civil rights inevitably became an integral facet of the larger ideological struggle.
This was [...]
“The world is white no longer.”
– James Baldwin
For white nationalists — whose cyber-based “movement” is still in its infancy — simple explanations tend to be the rule.
The reductionist “anti-Semitism” that dominates WN ranks and serves as a catch-all explanation for the predicament white people find themselves in today, to cite the most prominent example, is [...]

La politique, c’est le destin. — Napoleon
Koselleck’s Critique and Crisis (1959) is one of the great dissertations of the 20th-century German university system.

“Blut will zu Blut.”
White nationalists have embarked on a daunting mission, perhaps the most daunting of the last 30,000 years.
