Reply to John Derbyshire
John Derbyshire discusses several reasons for why Whites have become such wimps, including a couple where he mentions me: What needs explaining—what always needs explaining—is white ethnomasochism.” We are not short of offered explanations. Most popular: • It’s the Jews. The theory: Nursing an atavistic hatred of gentiles, and fearful of being the only noticeable minority in an otherwise homogenous society, […]
Jewish Defenses against Criticism
Mondoweiss excerpted a review of Max Blumenthal’s Goliath by Jerome Slater, including: [Max] Blumenthal quotes Akiva Eldar, one of Israel’s greatest journalists, who sums up the findings of Israeli public opinion surveys: “Israeli Jews’ consciousness is characterized by a sense of victimization, a siege mentality, blind patriotism, belligerence, self-righteousness, dehumanization of the Palestinians, and insensitivity […]
Fear and Loathing of the Impending Roma Invasion in the UK
Express (UK) caption: Roma migrants are taking advantage of Britain’s generous benefits culture There is an increasing awareness that the May elections for the European Parliament could be a watershed moment. After listing most of the nationalist parties, Timothy Garton Ash, who wears his hostility to all things nationalist on his sleeve, writes in the […]
Large majority of Jews favor abortion—for non-Jews
In a footnote to Chapter 5 of Separation and Its Discontents, I describe the work of Felix Theilhaber, a racial Zionist working in Germany in the early twentieth century. Like all racial Zionists, Thielhaber wanted to end Jewish intermarriage, increase Jewish fertility, and preserve Jewish racial purity. Theilhaber was very concerned about the declining Jewish birth rate and was politically […]
Zuerst Interview: The Weapons of the Israel Lobby
This is an English version of an interview appears in the November issue of Zuerst!, a German magazine. Prof. MacDonald, the Central Council of Jews in Germany (ZdJ) is maybe one of the most influential lobby groups in Germany – it is an affiliate of the World Jewish Congress (WJC). Critics say, the influence of the […]
Multiculturalism and the Racialization of Politics in the United States
This is a recent talk which was intended as a general overview and designed to appeal to the unconverted. My background is in evolutionary psychology. Evolutionary psychologists study how the human mind has been shaped by the needs of survival and reproduction over long expanses of evolutionary time. When we look at how the human […]
Recently in The Occidental Quarterly: Special Sections on White Pathology
This is an introduction to special sections in the Summer and Fall issues of The Occidental Quarterly focused on White pathology. Whatever blame for our situation that we place on others, the bottom line is that we are allowing the unfolding disaster to happen. It is unprecedented for a civilization to voluntarily cede political and cultural […]
Jewish population genetics and intelligence revisted
When I reviewed the data on Jewish population genetics for my 1994 book, A People That Shall Dwell Alone, the take home message was that Jews were a Middle Eastern group. But that was before the massive improvements in population genetic methods of recent years. One would think that this would result in a clear […]
The Tea Party and the GOP: Heading for Divorce
Writing in the Wall Street Journal, William A. Galston makes some points that reinforce the still expanding racial fault lines in America (“The Tea Party and the GOP Crackup“) noted in my previous post. The take home message is that there is a rift between (White) Tea Party Republican base representing traditional American conservative rural and […]
Implicit Whiteness Sightings: Shutting Down the Government and Talk of Secession
Always quick to spot a racial angle that they think will put White people in a bad light, there has been quite a bit of comment on the racial angle to the government shutdown/debt ceiling crisis. The New Yorker came up with “Where the GOP suicide caucus lives,” the point of which is that the […]
Race as a biological reality and social construct
I was pleasantly surprised to see an article on a radical website that actually says something positive about biological approaches to ethnicity, citing Frank Salter and me (Jay Knott, “Invention, Imagination, Race, and Nation,” posted on Dissident Voice). A couple comments: Shlomo Sand: I really don’t know how anyone can take Sand seriously given that […]
Paul Gottfried and Claes Ryn on Leo Strauss
The academic life is probably like many careers in that ultimately you have to find an audience. Professors spend months or years on a major project, then try to get it published in the best possible venue. Then they hope for positive reviews and, ultimately, acclaim and influence. I suspect that if one did a […]
How the media works: David Makovsky on the non-existent AIPAC 800-lb gorilla
On my way into work today I was listening to an NPR promo spot with the catch phrase “no rant, no slant” — the implication being that NPR is above partisan wrangling that one sees on FOX News or MSNBC. Well, that’s certainly refreshing. The problem is that the programming then segued into an interview of David Makovsky […]
The Israel Lobby and the Organized Jewish Community Want Regime Change in Syria
President Obama is now saying his administration has decided to attack Syria but will seek Congressional approval before doing so. This sets up a really interesting situation if Congress doesn’t agree, as seems quite possible. The idea of Obama ordering an act of war on Syria without significant international support and without a Congressional mandate […]
Prof. Ralph Scott on the costs of not mentioning race differences
I recently had a conversation with an academic women who was strongly against any discussion of racial differences in academic ability even though she seemed to believe they exist. I countered that in the absence of such a discussion, the conversation usually reverts to charges that the reason for the racial achievement gap (RAG) is […]
Elysium: An all too real dystopian vision of the future
Reviewing Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium, Steve Sailer emphasizes the dystopian future resulting from non-White immigration. That’s certainly there. The bleak, run-down buildings (filmed, appropriately, in Mexico City), the garbage-strewn streets teeming with poor non-Whites. There’s the everyday violence and the brutal robot police. Along with the hordes of Brown people there are a few conspicuous Whites, […]
Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Ethics: Gaming the System
At TOO we have had several articles on the culture of corruption that pervades many traditional Jewish communities. Edmund Connelly’s “The Culture of Deceit” presents examples going back to the 18th century, citing Wilhelm von Dohm, a Prussian official that Jewish communities were engaged in “the breaking of the laws of the state restricting trade, […]
Philip Weiss on Jewish Success
Philip Weiss, ever (self-)conscious of the power of Jews in American society, has another meditation on the topic (“Jewish success– is it ever a story?). Once again, the larger point is that Jewish power is off limits for public discussion—a theme that goes back at least as far as Wilmot Robertson’s Dispossessed Majority in the […]
Decline of the economic position of Whites: Implications for Republican Strategy
In his series of articles on the future of the Republican Party, Sean Trende proposed that one explanation for increasing numbers of Whites voting Republican was simply that they were continuing to get wealthier—that it had nothing to do with race. I argued against this on a number of grounds, including the generally difficult […]
Joe Klein: Immigration will save the U.S. from White racism
Writing in Time, Joe Klein presents the view that it is necessary to import millions of non-Whites as a cure for “our poisonous biracial era.” The subtitle says it all: “Trayvon’s Death Is an Outrage, But …Thanks to immigration, stronger laws and years of hard work, our poisonous biracial era is ending.” Yes, we are nearing […]
Sean Trende: A Rosy Future for the Republicans Without Immigration Reform — if they appeal to downscale Whites
It’s interesting that The Weekly Standard has published two articles opposed to the amnesty/immigration surge bill—interesting because we tend to assume that neocons are in favor of non-White immigration, their attitudes stemming from the Jewish identity of the core neocons. But we find none other than Bill Kristol in the opposition camp (‘Comprehensive’ Immigration Reform: […]
More evil from Heidi Beirich
Our friend Heidi Beirich of the SPLC has another outrageous gem about me (“Long Adored by Anti-Semites, California Prof Now Glorifies Violence“). A couple of factual issues: I am not a “co-host” of David Duke’s program and have never used the phrase “Zionist gun-grabbers,” although I have noted that Jewish publications have pointed to the central […]
Bill O’Reilly: Exploiting the race card but avoiding the real issue
Bill O’Reilly happens to be on while I’m at the gym (obviously I need an excuse to watch him), so I sometimes tune in to make the time go by a little faster. He is probably seen by most people as a conservative—which is why he is so poisonous. Right now he is plugging the […]
Israel and the NSA Scandal
Steve Sailer has an article on the tie-in between Israeli high tech firms and the NSA spying on American citizens (“Does Israel Have a Backdoor to US Intelligence?“). It’s always seemed very suspicious that Amdocs, an Israeli firm, was responsible for billing for US phone companies, and that two Israeli firms, Narus and Verint, are […]
Philip Weiss on Samantha Power
Samantha Power’s nomination as UN Ambassador is not going over well with some in the Israel Lobby. The JTA reports that the hardline Zionist Organization of America is opposed to her. As a neophyte in championing human rights, Power made the mistake of applying the logic of intervention on behalf of human rights to Israel. […]
Nordics versus Implicit Jews in “The Switch”
We all know that the Jewish domination of Hollywood leads to consistently positive portrayals of all things Jewish and invidious portrayals of Christianity and anything touching on White identity or interests (see here, p. 53ff). But part of the art of Hollywood is to embed Jewish attitudes and values in other characters. After all, non-Jewish […]
Moral Capital and White Interests
I just finished a book titled Moral Capital by Christopher Leslie Brown on the movement to abolish the slave trade and then slavery itself in the British Empire. The take home message is that the abolitionist movement thrived on moral capital. Even by 1790, popular opinion was persuaded that slavery was immoral, although it took […]
Joe Biden’s faux pas
Good grief! Joe Biden should know the ground rules by now. You can praise the contributions of individual Jews. It’s totally permissible to wax eloquent on the accomplishments of Sigmund Freud, Jonas Salk, or Albert Einstein—perhaps even implying that humanity would never have come on these ideas and thus be infinitely poorer for it. (John […]
Jason Richwine on IQ and Immigration
The Jason Richwine saga is a critical barometer of the political climate of our times. As everyone knows by now, he resigned from his position at the Heritage Foundation after his involvement in a report on the economic costs of immigration (since strongly endorsed by Steve Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies, writing in […]
Samuel Goldman on Nathaniel Rich: “mild nepotism” or ethnic networking?
Jewish ethnic networking has been a theme at TOO, ranging from appointments to the Supreme Court (notoriously, Elena Kagan), admissions to elite universities, the world of art (e.g., Mark Rothko), literature (e.g., pro-Israel writers Shani Boianjiu and Risa Miller), and philosophy (e.g., Spinoza). Not to mention the intellectuals discussed in The Culture o f Critique. Now […]
The new immigration assault on White America: The hostile elite on steroids
In my research on the history of American immigration policy up to the watershed year of 1965, one thing that stood out was that the Jewish approach was that policy should not be tailored to meet the needs of the U.S. but to conform to the loftiest of moral principles—altruism by any other name. The […]
Jim Goad on “a specific minority Who Must Never Be Named Under Threat of Eternal Damnation”
Jim Goad has a noteworthy comment on TakiMag on the liberal Jews David Sirota and Tim Wise who took the opportunity presented by the Boston bombings to complain about “White privilege” while exempting themselves from any taint of Whiteness (“Let’s Hope the Next Bomber is a Liberal Journalist“). (This was such low-hanging fruit that I […]
Non-Jewish media owners: Hope for the future
It’s clear that the biggest hurdle faced by White advocates is lack of access to the mainstream media. It’s no secret that media ownership is largely in the hands of Jews with all that that implies in terms of opposition to White interests and favoritism to Jewish causes such as Israel. And it’s no secret that Jews […]
Boston Bombing Aftermath: David Sirota and Ben Shapiro claim Jews are not part of White America
David Sirota’s blog hoping that a White guy was responsible for the Boston terror has gotten quite a lot of mileage (“Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American”). The basic idea is that if it’s a Muslim, say, people might start thinking that increasing legal immigration by 50% and amnestying God knows how many […]
Peter Hitchens’s Show of Guilt: Enoch Powell Was Right
Now that Britain has been utterly transformed to the point that turning back the muilticultural assault and reclaiming the traditional British nation would be cataclysmic, we are treated to some hand-wringing in the mainstream media. In his “How I am partly to blame for mass immigration” Peter Hitchens writes that when he was a Trotskyite supporting as much immigration […]
Monogamy and the Uniqueness of European Civilization
One of the arguments against gay marriage is that allowing gays to marry would eventually lead to polygamy, or even marriage between man and goat. Or between a man and his son to avoid inheritance taxes. And indeed it might. But the issue of polygamy has already been before the Supreme Court, and the opinion—which […]
Weiße Männer: Zeit zur Trennung
Übersetzt von Tobias Schmidt Ich habe den Eindruck, dass die Mainstream-Medien mit der Wahl Obamas sich im Glanz des multikulturellen Himmels sonnen. Es gab kaum eine Kommentierung der Rassenstruktur der Resultate und was sie für eine kommende schwierige Zeit für die Republikaner bedeuteten (bei TOO sind wir an der Sache dran). Diesmal hört man ringsum […]
Review of Paul Gottfried’s War and Democracy
War and Democracy Paul Gottfried London: Arktos Media, 2012; 167pp. Available at Arktos Media and Amazon. Paul Gottfried is an important voice on the right. War and Democracy, a collection of his essays published between 1975 and 2012, bears that out. Dissident History Perhaps what struck me the most is his grasp of history and his ability […]
Psychological Mechanisms of White Dispossession
I discuss three mechanisms basic to the psychology of White dispossession — runaway displays of White guilt and abasement, social learning, and being a member of a moral ingroup. Self-interest is often front and center, or at least in the background. For example, it’s pretty clear that many if not most Whites who make effusive declarations of allegiance to […]
Ian Tattersall on Stephen Jay Gould
The great thing about being a liberal/radical academic is that even falsifying data isn’t enough to seriously tarnish one’s reputation. Franz Boas’s finagling of his data on the skull shapes of immigrants in pursuit of his ethnopolitical agenda certainly hasn’t hurt his reputation, and Ian Tattersall’s remembrance of Stephen Jay Gould in the current issue of Natural […]
Lawrence Auster on the Role of Jews in the Dispossession of White, Christian America
Lawrence Auster is one of those rare Jews (Paul Gottfried is another) who seems to have an appreciation for the traditional people and culture of America and an understanding of the role of Jews in White dispossession — not that Auster and I haven’t had our disagreements (“Lawrence Auster gets unhinged”). Auster recently posted a […]
Napoleon Chagnon and the Struggle for Scientific Anthropology
Evolutionary anthropologist Napoleon Chagnon’s new book, Noble Savages: My Life Among Two Dangerous Tribes—The Yanomamö and the Anthropologists, is creating a considerable stir because it (gasp!) reiterates his findings that the behavior of the Yanomamö tribe of the Amazon basin was a good fit with an evolutionary model. In his review, Nick Romeo summarizes the central […]
Jonah Goldberg: The liberal media doesn’t have any influence
Jonah Goldberg’s op-ed “Leave liberal Hollywood to the liberals” argues that despite the fact that Hollywood is “overwhelmingly, though not uniformly, liberal,” conservatives shouldn’t try to buy up media in order to get their messages out. Buying up media is a waste of time because “Hollywood influence is agonizingly hard to predict or dismiss as unthinkingly […]
The 1924 Immigration Restriction Law redux
The Jewish Telegraph Agency puts out an archive edition every Sunday, featuring historical articles from the Jewish media. This week marks the 89th anniversary of Congressional debate on the 1924 Immigration Restriction Law. JTA introduces the article, from February 11, 1924, as follows: State of Immigration: President Obama’s State of the Union address emphasized immigration reform […]
Why has Ron Unz stopped talking about discrimination against non-Jewish Whites?
Ron Unz’s meritocracy article is an important analysis of discrimination against non-Jewish Whites in admission to elite universities. But you wouldn’t know it by following his recent writing and public presentations. For example, a recent article posted on National Review Online (“Racial Quotas, Harvard, and the legacy of Bakke“) focused entirely on his findings on Asian Americans. […]
Christopher Dorner: The LAPD is a racial dystopia
We in Southern California can’t turn on the TV without seeing coverage of the Christopher Dorner crime rampage. Make no mistake about it, this is no ordinary crime spree. Dorner is a Black man with extensive military experience who was fired from the Los Angeles Police Department when a review board found that he had […]
Jewish attitudes on Israel and White advocacy: Similarities and differences
There’s no question that voices within the Jewish community critical of Israel are gaining momentum—people like Peter Beinart, websites like Mondoweiss, the J Street lobbying group, and significant Jewish involvement in the BDS movement. It’s a good sign, but the jury is still out on whether it will ultimately influence policy change, either in Israel or […]
Hagel Wisely Caves in to the Israel Lobby
The viciousness of the Hagel hearings is really amazing, especially the questioning of John McCain, Lindsay Graham, and Ted Cruz. Graham and Cruz especially were being good soldiers of the Israel Lobby. The exchange that really revealed the power of the Lobby was when Graham asked Hagel to “name one person, in your opinion, who’s […]
The media drumbeat: The West is evil
A major theme at TOO has been Jewish influence on the media and that the media reflects the attitudes of the wider Jewish community hostile to the traditional people and culture of the West (e.g., Media images of Whites; Media bias). (Relatedly, Frank Salter exhaustively shows that the media in Australia is hostile to the traditional […]
Frank Salter on Race and Nation in Australia
Readers of TOO are familiar with Dr. Frank Salter’s work on ethnic genetic interests and his critique of multiculturalism. Now he has a series of articles in Quadrant exploring the decline of biological perspectives in the social sciences and concluding with two articles dealing with race and nation. These articles are brilliant analyses of the plight […]
Martin Hewson reviews Ricardo Duchesne’s “The Uniqueness of Western Civilization”
We at TOO have cheered the publication of Ricardo Duchesne’s The Uniqueness of Western Civilization as a major step forward in defending the West against the academic tide of multiculturalism. I call attention here to a very positive review by Martin Hewson, a political scientist at the University of Regina. Hewson notes that Duchesne’s work is “the most […]
Yes, Virginia, the Jews Stole Christmas
A new book, Joshua Eli Plaut’s A Kosher Christmas: ’Tis the Season to Be Jewish, documents what we have known all along: The Jews did indeed subvert Christmas. This book deserves a full review, but Ethan Schwartz’s summary and comment (“Twas the night after Christmas“) deserve scrutiny. First the summary: Jews have been the vanguard of […]
Implicitly White themes in “The Hobbit”
The Hobbit is a bit long, and some of the scenes could have been edited down. But I am not really complaining. It held my interest. The only thing is that it has a sort of “one thing after another for no good reason” feel—the result of a lot of padding needed to make […]
Syria and the uniqueness of the West
One of the themes at TOO is the uniqueness of the West, which basically comes down to individualism. The great achievement of the West has been the construction of civil societies where allegiance to family, kin, and religious sect are minimized. In Western societies, the personal qualities of the individual (character, intelligence, talent) rather than these […]
Ron Unz on the illusory American meritocracy
French Translation, by Armor An enduring aspect of the self-concept of Jews is that their ascent to elite status in America and elsewhere is the natural result of a meritocracy. For example, after Elena Kagan was nominated for the Supreme Court, Robert Frank penned an article in the Wall Street Journal (“That Bright, Dying […]
Thanksgiving: “Lincoln” and “Django Unchained”
The problem with holidays like Thanksgiving is that they give White people the impression that nothing has really changed. Just like when we were young, there is a huge Thanksgiving dinner, football on TV, and family get-togethers. The only difference is that now it’s all followed by an orgy of shopping on Black Friday, which […]
Asian-Americans are part of the non-White coalition
An op-ed today’s LATimes argues that Asians have signed on in overwhelming numbers to the non-White coalition that has become dominant in the Democratic Party. Based on their experience studying the Asian American community, two political scientists, Taeku Lee and Karthick Ramakrishnan, claim that the main reasons that Asians voted overwhelmingly for Obama have to […]
