Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Doctor Armand Hammer made it clear that he would be remembered and that, not only would his memory be secure in immortality, but he would also exert influence over what didn’t get remembered about him. The memory of the bad things that he had done would die […]

Lenin’s Willing Industrialist: The Saga of Armand Hammer, Part 4: The Real King of Oil, and the Importance of using a Bagman

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Although the definitive biography of the Jewish billionaire Marcel Reich is called The King of Oil, the title probably belongs to industrialist Armand Hammer, for perhaps no one did as much to alter the political and economic geography of the global oil scene than he did. Others may have […]

It is hard to read about Hammer’s time in Russia without concluding that he is projecting, that he enjoyed the good life among […]

Oh, would some Power give us the gift To see ourselves as others see us! -Robert Burns There are few things that provide quite as illuminating a contrast as comparing a man’s testament of his own life against those accounts given by others (friend and foe, alike). In that spirit, then, here is an account […]

Caste Masculinity: Sports and the War on White Manhood

August 14, 2017/56 Comments/in Featured Articles/by James Wald

The Greek orator and statesman Pericles has given us the following aphorism. “We do not say that a man who takes no interest in politics is a man who minds his own business; we say that he has no business here at all.” This has been reduced many times in the wider vernacular, especially as, […]

Putting Shylock to Shame: The Moneylender Portrayed as Hero

July 24, 2017/52 Comments/in Featured Articles, Jews in Economy/Finance/by James Wald

There is a certain threshold beyond which the sociopathy of a Jewish intellectual like Yaron Brook achieves an almost alien quality. It is one thing to be a sociopath; quite another to extoll the total untethering of the individual from any kind of higher morality as the greatest cause to which one can devote their […]
