Kerry Bolton, Yockey: A Fascist Odyssey (Arktos, 2018)

What follows is my foreword to Kerry Bolton’s recently released book on Francis Parker Yockey.

This is the first time an exhaustive work on the prominent Euro-American Fascist activist and philosopher, Francis Parker Yockey, is being offered to a wide readership in the English-speaking world.  Naturally, for starters, a big question that comes to mind immediately is, “what’s the point of reading Bolton’s thick book and how relevant is Yockey’s anti-Communism and anti-Liberalism in dealing with the ongoing decay of the multicultural West, which is currently subject to an open invasion of non-European masses?” Since Bolton often uses the German word “Zeitgeist” in his description of the dominant political ideas of Yockey’s time, a neophyte might likewise wonder if and how Yockey’s political prognoses are being validated by the dominant political ideas of our time. For many nationalist old-timers, both in Europe and America, Yockey is a household name that is indispensable in studying the intellectual developments of cultural Fascism, yet, for many young identitarians today, regardless whether they sport the name Alt-Right, New Right or Traditionalists, the name Yockey, along with his magnum opus Imperium, may sound a bit outdated.

Ireland’s Abortion Referendum: a Move to Halal Irish Stew

/67 Comments/in , /by

Sixty six per cent of the Irish people voted in May’s referendum to ‘Repeal the Eighth’. They have emphatically overturned the Eighth Amendment to the Irish constitution which declares that the life of the unborn child is equal to that of the mother, so outlawing abortion in almost all circumstances. The Catholic Church in Ireland made a point of keeping out of the acrimonious national debate. But the symbolism of this couldn’t be more obvious. Ireland is no longer a Catholic country. And this is crucial, because religious countries stand up for themselves against the enemies at the gate; secular countries let themselves get invaded.

The research on this is quite clear. People in countries that are religious are prepared to make huge sacrifices for the country they see as divinely-ordained while the same time repelling the Devil-inspired invader. When religiousness collapses, ethnocentrism has no religious underpinning and it collapses as well . . . and the floodgates open. May’s vote was as clear as symbol as there could be that the famous Irish craic will be giving way to ghettos and division.

Abortion, far more so than gay marriage, is a ‘Catholic’ issue. Long before gay marriage was even thought of, opposing abortion was a sign of being a committed Catholic. But Ireland’s break-neck secularization means that these devotees are bullied into silence. Ireland’s expatriate young have been flying home just to vote against the Church’s teaching. For them, in particular, Rome is part of the Ireland of the shameful past, not of the vibrant future.  

Since gaining formal independence in 1922, Catholicism has been at the heart of the Irish state. Read more

Destroy the Goy: The Metaphysics of Anti-White Hatred, Part 2

Go to Part 1.

The Cancer of Human History

Note that Jared Diamond, supposed disciple of reason and realism, could not conceal his real feelings on the topic of European success and non-European failure. He spoke of the “stink of racism,” which is, of course, the stink of racism by Whites. He obviously likes the idea of African Blacks making “mincemeat” of Europeans and of Aztecs driving Europeans “into the sea.” In short, he’s a goyophobe, just like his co-ethnic Susan Sontag (1933–2004). In her most famous piece of writing, Sontag laid bare the anti-White hatred that is at the heart of anti-racism:

If America is the culmination of Western white civilization, as everyone from the Left to the Right declares, then there must be something terribly wrong with Western white civilization. This is a painful truth; few of us want to go that far. … The truth is that Mozart, Pascal, Boolean algebra, Shakespeare, parliamentary government, baroque churches, Newton, the emancipation of women, Kant, Marx, Balanchine ballets, et al., don’t redeem what this particular civilization has wrought upon the world. The white race is the cancer of human history; it is the white race and it alone — its ideologies and inventions — which eradicates autonomous civilizations wherever it spreads, which has upset the ecological balance of the planet, which now threatens the very existence of life itself. [italics in original] (See “Susan Sontag’s Jewish World,” Kevin MacDonald, The Occidental Observer, 17th October 2017)

Sontag indicts “the white race” as uniquely evil, uniquely culpable, and uniquely pernicious. In effect, she’s promulgating a blood libel that makes nonsense of leftist claims about human equality. The emotional fuel of anti-racism is hatred of Whites and the true aim of anti-racism is not equality but revenge. Jewish goyophobes like Stephen Jay Gould, Jared Diamond and Susan Sontag created this ideology using their high verbal IQ and their extensive ethnic networking in the media and academia. Blacks and other non-Whites, who could not have created this ideology by themselves, have nevertheless taken it up with great enthusiasm. Here is a recent example in the Guardian: Read more

Destroy the Goy: The Metaphysics of Anti-White Hatred, Part 1

Ideologies are like engines: what matters is that they reach their destination, not what they run on or what they’re made of. But one vital difference is that an ideology can reach its destination without being internally consistent or conforming to reality. That isn’t true of real engines. Take the Mariner I space-probe in 1962. Its destination was Venus, but its mission failed completely because one small mathematical symbol was omitted from its on-board program.

The cost of failure

When the program ran, it “treated normal minor variations of velocity as if they were serious, causing spurious corrections that sent the rocket off course.” In other words, Mariner I didn’t conform to reality and didn’t get anywhere near its destination. The cost of failure amounted to hundreds of millions in 2018 dollars. But the mistake won’t happen again because the problem has been identified.

Now compare an ideology. The cost of failure in Iraq has amounted to trillions of dollars, but the ideology responsible — neo-conservatism — has not been discarded as dangerously useless. Read more

Ancient Athens: A Spirited and Nativist Democracy

Pericles, Athenian leader at the city’s zenith

The Persian Empire was driven by a certain logic, certain feedback loops pertaining to domestic conditions and foreign relations, which led to that great state’s steady expansion.[1] The waves of this expansion were finally dashed on the rocks of Greek freedom, embodied in the city-states of Athens and Sparta. Athens and Sparta themselves were each driven by their own logic, their own virtuous circles of power, which defeated the Persian logic in Europe. If Persian power was that of a multinational military monarchy, a culture of empire, Greek power was that of patriotic, fractious little republics, defined by civic freedom.

The particular form of civic freedom and the virtuous circle of power at Sparta were very different however than those at Athens. At Sparta, a rigorous communitarian discipline was maintained by the demands of lordship, the need for the society to be constantly militarily organized to guard against the threat of rebellion by the enslaved Helots. The result was centuries of stability and regional power. At Athens, the virtuous circle of international trade and naval power led to rapid and constant demographic and imperial expansion, resulting in a short-lived empire which almost achieved hegemony in the eastern Mediterranean. Athens also underwent a stunningly creative artistic and philosophical flourishing with few rivals in all human history.

Athens and Sparta seem to embody a recurring dialectic in Western history: between sea-power, commerce, democracy, individualism, and technology on the one hand, and land-power, autarky, hierarchy, community, and discipline on the other.

The verdict of the philosophers and men of the Right has generally been Read more

The Bestial of British Re-Booted: Whites and Blacks Should Not Mix

/71 Comments/in , /by

“Goldfish marries piranha.” That’s how I would summarize the marriage of the dim red-head Prince Harry to the conniving Meghan Markle. Like many others, I do not think the marriage will last. The Guardian and BBC have been very enthusiastic about it, so you can be sure that it’s bad both for the monarchy and for Britain.

A gigantic lie

After all, their enthusiasm is based on a gigantic lie: that the stale pale nation of Britain is immeasurably enriched by diversity and that non-Whites are our moral and spiritual superiors, having acquired deep reserves of wisdom and virtue in the long centuries of their oppression by Whites. As I pointed out in “The Bestial of British,” the truth is exactly the opposite. Britain is harmed by diversity and non-Whites are much more prone to criminality and psychopathy than Whites.

You can see that in Britain’s many meteor-murders, which is what I call a murder that flashes through the British media and then vanishes forever. The Black teenager Stephen Lawrence, who was murdered by Whites back in 1993, has returned again and again to the headlines, because his death can be used to demonize Whites and sanctify Blacks. Compare the White teenager Mary-Ann Leneghan, who was tortured, raped and murdered with extreme savagery by Blacks in 2006. That was a meteor-murder and she was forgotten long ago by the mainstream. So was the White teenager Kriss Donald, who was murdered with extreme savagery by Pakistani Muslims in 2005.

A laughing acid-thrower

The murders of Mary-Ann Leneghan and Kriss Donald provided vital lessons about non-White savagery and malice. That’s precisely why they are long-forgotten by the mainstream. The British media follow the agenda of the hostile elite, demonizing Whites, sanctifying non-Whites, and celebrating the steady and remorseless destruction of Britain’s traditions and culture. And in the same week as the wedding of “Harry and Meghan,” a far more significant story about Black-White relations was in the headlines. If the races and sexes had been reversed in this other story, the victim would have joined Stephen Lawrence as a permanent fixture in Britain’s political firmament. But the victim was a White male and the attacker was a Black female, so this will become yet another meteor-murder:

Woman found guilty of throwing sulphuric acid at former partner

A woman has been found guilty of an acid attack in Bristol that left her former partner with such terrible injuries that he was driven to euthanasia. Berlinah Wallace [a Black South African], 49, threw sulphuric acid over Mark van Dongen [a White Dutchman], 29, in a fit of jealousy and rage after he began a relationship with another woman. Bristol crown court heard that [in September 2015] Wallace, a former fashion student, hurled acid at Van Dongen, an engineer, as he lay in bed, laughing and taunting him: “If I can’t have you, no one else can.”

Van Dongen’s face and much of his body was severely scarred. The acid burned through 25% of his body surface. He was paralysed from the neck down, lost most of his sight and his lower left leg had to be amputated. He spent more than a year in hospital in Bristol before his family and friends hired a private ambulance to move him to Belgium, where he applied for euthanasia. …

Wallace bought the sulphuric acid — legally — online from Amazon for less than £10. [Mark van Dongen’s father] Kees van Dongen vowed to campaign to make sure the laws around the sale of acid are tightened. Amazon has declined to comment. A spate of acid attacks including the one on Van Dongen has led the government to move to reclassify sulphuric acid. Later this year it will only be possible to legally buy the substance over a certain concentration with a licence. The police’s actions before the attack will be scrutinised. It has emerged that Van Dongen was so worried about Wallace after they split that he contacted the police and an officer gave her a harassment warning. … (Woman found guilty of throwing sulphuric acid at former partner, The Guardian, 17th May 2018)

Berlinah Wallace was found “not guilty” of murder in the trial, but although that may have been legally correct, she was morally responsible for Mark van Dongen’s death. She set out to destroy his life and succeeded. And note this phrase at the end of the story: “A spate of acid attacks.” Why are such barbarous crimes happening so often in twenty-first-century Britain? Well, just like electoral corruption, they represent a triumph of liberalism. Anyone who has read the Sherlock Holmes story “The Adventure of the Illustrious Client” will know that acid-attacks were a problem here in the nineteenth century. Similarly, political cartoons by the great cartoonist James Gillray (1756?–1810) show that electoral corruption was a problem here too. But those problems went away as Britain became a more law-abiding and civilized country. Read more
