Postcards from the Empire: Dismantle the American Empire

April 15, 2026/3 Comments/in Featured Articles/by Don Wassall

There are several less than flattering names for the American Empire that describe it quite well – The Hollow Empire, The Empire of Lies, Globohomo, The Zionist Global Empire among them.

Whatever name one wants to dub it, it is an empire that was never supported by Americans or even voted on, as on all important issues policies are imposed by the ruling uniparty and its institutions of control, manipulation and exploitation. And now, more dangerous than ever as illustrated by Trump’s sickening aggression against Iran, the American Empire is becoming ever more dysfunctional, unpopular and illegitimate, and it needs to be repudiated and dismantled.

The overseers of the Empire are like fossils from a long-ago era, still living in a 1945 mindset and still foisting endless propaganda about that “good war” on Americans even as the number of living WWII vets dwindles to a miniscule number. WWII we are told was a battle of “pure good” versus “pure evil,” which is still the cartoonish m.o. of the regime. Washington can’t just have a disagreement with leaders of other countries; no, they have to be given the full uncontradicted Hitler Treatment in order to justify the Empire’s endless militarism.

Traditional American values and morality have been distorted and inverted from an endless overdose of propaganda emanating from the media, the advertising cartel, NGOs, and the government promoting alleged egalitarianism and anti-racism. While those are lofty goals in theory albeit obviously impossible to achieve when it comes to forced “equality,” the actual agenda derives from acute hatred of Whites, Christians, and Western civilization. “Hey hey ho ho, Western civ has got to go” was a cry made famous by the recently deceased Jesse Jackson on college campuses some 40 years ago. At the time it was seen with a mixture of worry and humor, but now the Permanent Cultural Communist Revolution that began in the late 1960s has advanced to the point that every institution has been taken over and is implementing The Great Replacement with the same zealousness that Washington is implementing Israel’s expansionist policies and aims.

And that’s what stands out now – all the alarm and denunciations of the mysterious, unaccountable “Deep State” have under the horrific second Trump presidential term exposed what it essentially is – the stealth takeover by one country of another.

One of the main reasons Vladimir Putin is despised so much by Western elites is that when he took power from the drunken stooge Boris Yeltsin, he did a lot of housecleaning, including jailing some of the Zionist oligarchs pillaging Russia and causing others to flee the country. Russia had and still has an influential group of pro-Western “Atlanticists” that apparently restrain Putin’s government in some areas, but Putin has been a strong Russian nationalist who took over a country that was plundered and demoralized, and he restored pride to it.

American nationalists had, naively as it turns out, hoped that Trump 2.0 would be at least similar to Putin when it came to cleaning house. Many gave him the benefit of the doubt, believing he was too naïve in his first term and thus easily constrained by the “Swamp” he had been elected to drain. Instead, Trump 2.0 is America’s Yeltsin, not a drunk but so chaotic, erratic and vicious that every day more people are questioning whether he’s deranged or whether it’s all part of a continuing act from the beginning — like an actor who built a lot of trust from half the population but who is now throwing it away, as the phrase goes, “with all deliberate speed” whether because of being blackmailed from material in the Epstein Files, or because he was a militant Israel First Zionist all along.

Over 80 years since the end of World War Two and some 75 years since the Korean War, the U.S. still has over 40,000 troops stationed in Germany and tens of thousands distributed in other of its western European colonies; somewhere between 54,000 and 61,000 in Japan, and around 25,000 in South Korea. In all, according to Chat AI, the Empire has U.S. troops stationed in roughly 80 countries, with 750+ bases worldwide.

Read those numbers again. Troops in 80 countries and 750 or so military installations around the world. Besides the tremendous waste of resources needed to support such an undertaking, the U.S. military since WWII has yet to win a war of note. Tiny Grenada doesn’t count, and the “victory” over Iraq in 1991 was followed by another war in Iraq over non-existent “weapons of mass destruction” brought into being by lying neocons who sold them to a naive President Bush. The Iraq war was a disaster in every way and has never officially stopped, as Iraq is still occupied. Besides the thousands of Americans killed, tens of thousands were injured, many horrifically from IEDs, and the number of Iraqi civilians killed was a very high number. But as Bill Clinton’s Secretary of State Madeleine Albright infamously said regarding the deaths of over half a million Iraqi children from the extreme sanctions placed on that country, “It was worth it.”

Madeleine Albright was a great exemplar of an empire that dehumanizes opponents.

And now the military is unable to defeat Iran. A prolonged, dragged out affair that may end up with Iran flattened, at best will be a draw. And in the meantime, with so much of its ammunition and weapons depleted, what happens if China decides it’s a perfect time to give an ultimatum to Taiwan? Designed to supposedly be able to fight two large wars at the same time, the U.S. military is a trillion-dollar boondoggle that is only increasing anti-U.S. hatred around the world, especially so since Trump began taking orders from war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Empire, like so much of American society, is warped, degraded, immoral, and without positive substance. Trump had another opportunity, most likely the last one the U.S. will have, to be a true patriot and take on the leftist rot within head-on. Instead it turns out he’s a huge part of the rot himself. The Zionist billionaires financing the cultural and demographic ruination of the country, starting with George Soros on down, are protected and there will be no accountability for them or any of the Epstein class during Trump 2.0.

While a few of the worst Antifa types are being charged with felonies, the street armies still have institutional protection in most areas. Some bad illegal alien criminals are being rounded up, but Trump promised to deport all illegal aliens. But the numbers being deported are small, and as soon as the Democrats win back control of the executive branch, the floodgates will once again open.

Same with the many executive orders Trump signed early on. They have symbolic meaning far more than genuine bite. DEI hasn’t been defeated or anything remotely close to it. The advertising and corporate executives, the social media oligarchs, the universities and colleges and Democrat-controlled legislatures across the country are merely biding their time until they can again unleash the same forces that ran amok during the Biden regime.

And if you don’t believe that, have you noticed how the search engines still censor and deplatform non-Zionists and non-leftists, or how the disappearance of White men from advertising and the media continues as before? What was needed was the kind of counterforce that Trump unleashed on Iran, not a military one but a full-frontal attack culturally. Instead it’s the same old same old — except with lipstick applied to the pig. Trump 2.0 will end up as an unmitigated disaster and we’ll be lucky if Trump and the other Zionist and Christian Zionists in his administration haven’t caused WWIII by the time he exits the White House, a not unlikely scenario at all given how the illegal war in the Persian Gulf remains far from being settled in a lasting manner.

The Republican Party is completely useless, nothing more than the Democrats’ partner in crime. A few good exceptions among Senators and Congressmen doesn’t change that. The GOP won’t even pass the SAVE Act despite having majorities in the House and Senate. It’s garbage and the best outcome of the upcoming midterms is that the Democrats win back at least the House and stalemate ensues for the last two years of Trump 2.0, that is if the Great Flip-Flopper finishes his term without being removed.

Voting in the traditional manner is a waste of time. But that doesn’t mean the large and growing bloc of aware patriots should just give up and go back to posting anonymously on social media and do little else.

First of all, the fact that so many have caught on and continue to is the great silver lining of our time. The alternative media continues to grow and thrive despite all the ways the Empire tries to discredit it through shadow banning, siccing paid trolls and disinformation artists to comment sections, and other methods. It must continue to be supported in every way, as the economic destruction caused by Trump’s war is only going to get worse, possibly much, much worse.

Don’t vote for either branch of the uniparty tyranny; the political system has been locked down for a long time. But do vote for independents and third-party candidates when they are on the ballot.

The GOP primary in Thomas Massie’s House district is fast approaching. If you happen to live in his district or close to it, become a volunteer, and wherever you live help him out with a donation. Because of the way Trump, who has no loyalty to anyone but his Zionist sponsors and cohorts, has demonized Massie it makes it even more important that he remain a voice of America First reason in the House.

Beginning third parties and running independent candidacies at the local level is doable. School board runs and town councils are the positions to target. Build from the bottom up while still engaging in the top-down information war.

The Empire needs to be repudiated and defanged. It can’t happen all at once in a dangerous world in which foes have thousands of nuclear weapons along with an unknown number of secret bio-weapons. But the United States is blessed geographically; no country would dare to attack the U.S. unless the present Empire itself continues to take actions that provoke a devastating response.

We need a government and institutions that revere America and its people, that understands George Washington’s admonition against entangling alliances, that treats other nations and peoples with genuine respect.

The amount of awareness and knowledge that now exists is inspiring. In the U.S., it is primarily the aging and ignorant “Judeo-Christians” and the Epstein Class who enable the Empire. The world is exhausted and fed up with U.S.-Israeli aggression. It’s up to Americans to do everything possible to change the country’s trajectory from expansionist Zionist militarism to peaceful co-existence and friendship with all, and that requires dismantling The Empire.

The Remnant of Hereditary Slavery in Saint-Denis, France

April 14, 2026/5 Comments/in Featured Articles/by Francis Goumain

The Basilica of Saint-Denis, north of Paris, in the French department of Seine-Saint-Denis in the Île-de-France region, is home to the royal necropolis of the Basilica of Saint-Denis, wihich houses the tombs of numerous Frankish and French sovereigns, from Dagobert I to Louis XVIII – including Charles Martel (as the joke goes, the Arabs were stopped in 732 at Poitiers by Charles Martel, but they returned in 737, i.e., in a Boeing 737).

We can only urge American or English tourists to visit the site for its recumbent figures and their astonishing stone draperies that could be mistaken for real fabrics; it is quite a thing.
We simply warn them that they shouldn’t be surprised to be the only White people there. Because the current events in Saint-Denis are no longer about the Kings of France, and not only because of the French Revolution, but rather because of the demographic revolution.

The big news in Saint-Denis is the election of a Black mayor, Bally Bagayoko.
This election sparked racist reactions, which the mayor complained about; anti-racist demonstrations were then organized in Saint-Denis – without much turnout, the odd thing being that most of the protesters were white (Not so strange after all, rather, it is a classic case of a guilt-ridden white man being subjected to compulsory repentance.).

Bally Bagayoko comes from LFi (La France insoumise), a radical left-wing party that advocates for immigration, racial mixing, multiculturalism, and Islam in France; the LFi is called “an Islamo-leftist party”, a party that aspires to the advent of the 6^th Republic (today we live in de Gaulle’s 5^thRepublic).

Bally Bagayoko just forgot to tell us that he comes from the Soninke slave-owning tribe! He also neglects to mention that the divide between “nobles” (horon) and descendants of slaves (komo) not only persists in Africa (with leaders almost always being descendants of the horon), but that this divide has also been transposed into the Black immigrant community in France.Mr. Bally Bagayoko, the new mayor of Saint-Denis, is of Soninke origin.

We provide below an automated translation of an article by Bernard Lugan on this subject.

Bernard Lugan is a historian and one of our leading Africanists who, for this reason, has notably taught in our military schools, Saint-Cyr and the École de guerre for senior officers. He was excluded because he was deemed far-right.

Before giving the floor to Bernard Lugan, and since the UN has just declared the transatlantic slave trade the most serious crime against humanity, a few quick clarifications on another aspect of the slave trade: the predominant participation of Jews in this trade.

1 – The American reader is probably aware that Newport, the main port for importing slaves into America, was nicknamed Jewport.

2 – Pierre Mendès France, Prime Minister from 1954 to 1955, descended from a Jewish family from Portugal who had settled in Bordeaux (adding “France” to his original name, Mendes), and in Bordeaux, this family was involved in the slave trade.

3 – The involvement of Jews in the Atlantic Slave Trade was so extensive that the first article of the “Code Noir,” a decree by Colbert intended to alleviate the suffering of Black people, was worded accordingly:

“We wish that the edict of the late King of Glorious Memory, our most honored lord and father, of April 23, 1615, be executed in our islands; in so doing, we enjoin all our officers to expel from our said islands all the Jews who have established their residence there, whom, as declared enemies of the Christian name, we command to leave within three months from the day of the publication of these presents, under penalty of confiscation of body and property.”

Now, to read the Bernard Lugan’s article, his blog is « L’Afrique Réelle»

Mr. Mayor Bally Bagayoko, what if we talked about hereditary slavery among the Soninke?

Mr. Bally Bagayoko, the new mayor of Saint-Denis, is of Soninke origin. His family comes from the Koulikoro region of Mali. At the forefront of the revanchist, racialist discourse, the question “Where are you from?” has never been asked of him. Yet, it would likely be well received by someone close to La France Insoumise, given its origins in the Maoist and leftist circles of 1968. This question allows decolonial thinkers and the heirs of Foucault, Bourdieu, and Althusser to indict white men. For deconstructionists, this question means that all speech is situated—socially, politically, and historically—and therefore explains discourse and stances. This is what Anglo-Saxons have defined as “standpoint theory.”

So, where are you “speaking from”, Mr. Bally Bagayoko?

The answer is clear: from the Soninke world. A world with a very rich history, dating back to the Kingdom of Ghana, which emerged in the 8th century. A world in which slavery was not simply an economic system, but a comprehensive, imprisoning, and hereditary social structure, as demonstrated, among other things, by the books cited at the end of this overview. According to Claude Meillassoux (1975 and 1986), the Soninke formed a slave society in the truest sense, and Martin Klein (1998) showed that slaves represented between a third and a half of the population in many regions of Western Sudan.

The Soninke belong to the larger Mande group spread across present-day Mali, Mauritania, and Senegal (Soninke, Malinke, Bambara, etc.). Founders of the historical Ghana Empire which lasted from the 8th to the 11th century, the Soninke were essential players in the trans-Saharan trade networks of which the slave trade to the North African world was an important component.

But that is not the main point, because in the Mandé world, and therefore among the Soninké, the slave was not primarily intended for sale outside the ethnic group, tribe, or village, but rather to remain a permanent and dependent member of the family. This is why, in 1905, when colonization abolished traditional African slavery, this colonial legal decision did not end its social persistence; the servile status transformed into clientelism, that is to say, a “modernization” of the practice, which allowed it to survive.

Abner Cohen and Gibril Sankoh (1995) demonstrated that the Soninke were among the first West African migrants to France. However, and this is perhaps the crucial point, the emancipation of former Soninke slaves through emigration was merely theoretical, as social hierarchies persisted. In France, the divide between “nobles” (horon) and descendants of slaves (komo) remained, as it is the marker of a social and identity-based identification from which it is impossible to escape, since it is as definitive as gender. Slavery among the Soninke is thus a long-standing phenomenon, as social hierarchies endure.

Most Mandé societies exhibit a tripartite stratification. The Horon/Foroba are the free men, whether they belong to noble or common lineages. The Nyamakala are the members of the artisan castes. The Jon/Jongo are the slaves, now referred to as dependents. These affiliations are hereditary, except in cases of explicit manumission.

According to Cohen and Sankoh (1995), the Soninke case is one of the most rigid in the Mande world because the status of slave cannot be erased. It is indelible, since the descendants of slaves remain marked, even after their eventual emancipation. Marriages between Horon and descendants of slaves are forbidden, and descendants of slaves are excluded from positions of authority. We are therefore dealing with societies in which slavery has indeed been legally abolished, but in which its reality persists through hereditary ancestry. This status is less pronounced among the Malinke or the Bambara, peoples among whom social mobility is more frequent. But this is not the case among the Soninke.

However, the Soninke system, one of the most institutionalized in the Mandé world, is also found in the diaspora, which largely explains labor relations and electoral clienteles. According to François Manchuelle (2004), the Soninke case is even like a laboratory for the sociology of West African migrations. It would therefore be interesting to see how this reality is articulated around the new municipal team of Saint-Denis, given the strict endogamy that restricts social mobility among the Soninke people. This is all the more relevant since Cohen and Sankoh (1995) have shown that Soninke society is an exemplary case for observing the transition “from slave owners to employers of free laborers.”

Ultimately, Saint-Denis could serve as a laboratory for observing how, once transplanted to France, a former Sahelian slave society transformed into a labor migration society that abandoned none of its deep-rooted structures and traditions. This is a far cry from “republican assimilation”…

About NewPort /JewPort, here is an extract from an article by Claude Timmerman

https://jeune-nation.com/kultur/culture/apres-la-fin-de-la-traite-le-lobbying-culpabilisant-anti-blanc-et-linstrumentalisation-de-lesclavage

“Four to five hundred thousand slaves shipped to the West Indies (the first were Irishmen deported as slaves to the Islands by the British) compared to at least eleven million transported in direct trade to continental America: the future USA on one side, Brazil and Colombia on the other!

In the USA, distilleries produced rum of questionable quality made from molasses, mainly imported from the West Indies, which was used as currency for the purchase of slaves.

The first distillery was founded in Newport at the end of the 17th century, and the port city soon had 22! An industry directly linked to the African slave trade: one only needs to cross-reference the lists of distilling industrialists and those of slave ship owners to be convinced of this.

In support of these claims, notwithstanding political correctness, we have the names of ships, captains and shipowners over three centuries and above all the manifests and bills of lading, in other words the official documents of the ships describing their cargoes and attesting to their owners.

In Africa, grain fermentation (particularly that of millet and sorghum, which produces beer known locally as tchouchouta, dolo, or tchapalo, depending on the region) was known and appreciated. A large-scale consumption of American alcoholic beverages, such as rum, quickly developed, paid for with slaves.

The port of Newport then became the North American nerve center of the slave trade with Africa.

The “King of Newport,” Duarte Lopez, also known as Aaron Lopez, ruled the North American slave market there for nearly thirty years, until the mid-18th century, contrary to current mainstream claims, particularly those supported by the latest version of Wikipedia…

We are talking about two to three million slaves imported into the USA during the single period of its activity!

History has recorded the names of the owners of Newport distilleries – where the alcohol produced was exported by the slave ships they outfitted and traded for slaves in Africa – who were clearly involved in the slave trade: Isaac Gomez, Hayman Levy, Jacob Malhado, Naphtaly Myers, David Hart, Joseph Jacobs, Moses Ben Franke, Moses Gomez, Isaac Dias, Benjamin Levy, David Jeshuvum, Jacob Pinto, Jacob Turk, Daniel Gomez, James Lucanan, Jan de Sweevts, Simeon Potter, Isaac Elizer, Jacob Ltod, Jacob Rodrigues, Haym Isaac, Carregal, Abraham Touro, Moses Hays, Moses Lopez, Judah Touro, Abraham Mendes, Abrabam All….

In the 18th century, according to American maritime records, of the 128 recorded slave ships that landed enslaved people in Charleston, 120 belonged to Jewish shipowners from Newport and Charleston. It’s understandable why some, undoubtedly with malicious intent, renamed the city “Jewport”…

Some American rabbis even openly claim that their community played a leading role in the slave trade!

We therefore refer those who believe that our remarks constitute a basic anti-Semitism (to which it is now fashionable to add “compulsive and visceral”) to the following publications:

– In the work of Rabbi Morris A. Gustein: The Story of the Jews in Newport (Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh).

– To the monumental work in 4 volumes by Elisabeth Donan (not translated into French): Documents illustrative of the History of the Slave Trade to America. (Washington: Carnegie Institution of Washington, 1930 – 1935)

– In the work of Rabbi Ralph Lee Raphael: Jews and Judaism in the United States: A Documentary History – New York – Behrman House – 1983.

He emphasizes on pp. 14, 23-25: “Jews also took an active part in the slave trade in the Dutch colonies; indeed, the statutes of the congregations of Recife and Mauritius (1648) included a tax (Jewish levy) of five soldos for each Black slave purchased by a Brazilian Jew from the Dutch West India Company.”

And further on:

“This was no less true on the North American continent, where during the 18th century, Jews participated in the ‘triangular trade’ that brought slaves from Africa to the West Indies, where they were exchanged for molasses, which in turn was shipped to New England where it was distilled into rum for sale in Africa. Isaac Da Costa of Charleston in the 1750s, David Franks of Philadelphia in the 1760s, and Aaron Lopez of Newport in the late 1760s and early 1770s dominated the slave trade on the American continent.” (portraits below in the order they appear)

Needless to say, these books are now difficult to find, and Google, the LDH or the Licra are not exactly promoting them!”

New Study: Treatment for Gender Dysphoria Sends People Even More Mentally Ill

April 14, 2026/1 Comment/in Featured Articles/by Edward Dutton

The trans lobby use the same emotionally manipulative argument again and again for putting sexually confused children on puberty blockers and insisting that deluded people be permitted to mutilate their bodies: “They find it so distressing that their body is not aligned with the sex they supposedly feel they are in the minds that they will commit suicide if you don’t give them what they want. Failure to give them what they want will make them so depressed that they simply won’t want to live anymore.”

This argument makes no sense. A man who feels that he is a woman is deluded. To allow him to overtly present as a woman (often not very convincingly) will do nothing to address the psychology behind why he has developed this delusion and this identity disturbance. To “transition” him is akin to accepting the anorexic’s delusion that she is fat and allowing her to starve herself to death accordingly.

If the trans lobby is correct, then all transsexuals – even those who only develop their feelings about this in adolescence – really are “born into the wrong body,” meaning that “gender-affirming” treatment or surgery will make them better psychologically. A new study from Finland has shown that this is nonsense. Consistent with the idea that gender dysphoria reflects underlying psychological problems, gender reassignment has no positive impact on their mental health.

Published in Acta Paediatrica, the new study is entitled “Psychiatric Morbidity Among Adolescents and Young Adults Who Contacted Specialised Gender Identity Services in Finland in 1996–2019: A Register Study.” It is able to take advantage of the fact that Finland has a small population on which it keeps very up-to-date information with every Finnish resident having an identifying number. It looked at every case across the period of Finns who had attended a gender identity clinic before reaching the age of 23 and it then followed their interaction with the medical services until they died or until June 2022. They also looked at whether they had seen a psychiatrist before or after the date of referral to the clinic. This gave them a sample of 2083 people. Each one of these was compared to four people of the same sex who were born in the same year and in the same region. They also looked at whether these people had been referred to a psychiatrist for some condition, usually depression.

The findings were striking. Fifteen per cent of controls had seen a psychiatrist prior to the referral date compared to 45% of those referred. Two years after the referral, 14.6% of controls had seen a psychiatrist compared to 61.7% of those referred. In other words, undergoing gender affirming treatment does not seem to assist the mental health of these people. If anything, it makes it worse.

Among men who wanted to be feminised and who underwent medical reassignment, psychiatric needs rose from 9.6% to 60.7% ,while among those who were reassigned from female to male, psychiatric needs went from 21.6% to 54.5%. Interestingly, these were rather different among people referred to the clinic who were not gender-reassigned, something that few commentators on this study seem to have explored. The males had a previous psychiatric interaction rate of 53% and a subsequent one of 59% while for the females these numbers were 65% and 67%. So, those who did not transition had less previous psychiatrist interaction than those who did and, in the case of males who did transition, this level of interaction was actually lower than that of controls. It was 13.6% for control males and 16.4% for control females.

It is very difficult to work out what is going on and, surprisingly, the authors do not mention the anomaly. They do, however, observe a significant change after the year 2010. Twenty-three per cent of the 1996-2010 cohort had seen a psychiatrist about some other issue before being referred to the gender clinic. However, among the 2010-2019 cohort, this was 48%. One way of interpreting this is that, from 2010 onwards, something changed in the culture leading to mentally unstable people being drawn into gender dysphoria.

It seems fairly obvious that the “trans madness” began around 2010 — when it began to be promoted. This would lead to a certain kind of socially anxious person who had previously suppressed mild “trans” feelings realising that they were a way of gaining status, attention and even power via a shocking new identity. It would also lead to more and more socially anxious people of this kind uber-conforming to the new marker of victimhood and virtue in order to feel that they mattered and were special. In that females are more socially anxious than males, it is no coincidence the female gender dysphoria began to be observed at this point, especially among groups of teenage girls with very high mental instability; the kind that were anorexics a generation earlier.

We can only speculate on why, among men, there is the counter-intuitive finding that controls had higher previous psychiatric interaction than men who were reassigned but this is reversed among those who weren’t reassigned. According to a Finnish psychiatrist with whom I corresponded about this, before about 2010 there were very strict criteria with regard to who could be reassigned. Doctors refused to permit reassignment to those with serious psychiatric problems. The females seemingly came en masse after 2010 and the Finnish medical authorities also became less strict about reassigning people at around this point.

However, the key point is that, at the very least, gender reassignment does not improve the mental health of those who undergo it. They have serious mental health problems prior to it and they seem to have worse mental health problems afterwards. This study demonstrates that trans ideology is based on a falsehood. People with gender dysphoria have psychological problems and responsible doctors should attempt to address these rather than allow such people to mutilate their bodies and even demand that everybody else participate in their fantasy.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Exposes the Jewish Billionaire Trio Backing Thomas Massie’s Primary Challenger

April 13, 2026/8 Comments/in Featured Articles, Israel Lobby/by Jose Nino

In the aftermath of Israel’s Gaza genocide, some of the richest Jews in America have united to crush the one Republican who dared say no to their blank check, turning Kentucky’s May 2026 primary into an existential referendum on whether any anti-Zionist can survive in a Jewish-dominated political order.

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who resigned from Congress in January 2026, ignited controversy on March 31, 2026, when she identified the billionaire donors backing former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein’s campaign against Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and accused them of prioritizing a foreign country over American interests. (Other TOO articles on Massie.)

“You know who has not been tested? His opponent. His opponent that is literally propped up and funded by three Jewish billionaires,” Greene said during a virtual fundraiser for Massie that also featured former Rep. Ron Paul and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). “Now look, I’m not anti-Semitic, I don’t care what people’s religion are, but these three billionaires that are funding this opponent against Thomas Massie don’t even live in Kentucky, they’re not eve-, they don’t have a home in his district. And their loyalty is to Israel, not the United States of America.”

Greene continued with an urgent call to action: “So I think what’s extremely important for people to understand is you need to donate some money. You need to donate some money on the MassieMoneyBomb.com because this is a fight for America first. This is a fight against a foreign country, against foreign interests, and against foreign money. And it’s that type of foreign money that has already bought off most members of Congress.”

The three donors Greene referenced are the same ones identified by the Washington Examiner: New York hedge fund manager Paul Singer, who contributed $1 million to the anti-Massie super PAC MAGA KY; Florida hedge fund manager John Paulson, who contributed $250,000; and the Preserve America PAC — primarily funded by Nevada casino mogul Miriam Adelson — which contributed $750,000. None of the three donors live in Kentucky.

Massie has characterized the effort as a “DC-funded hit job.” The Massie fundraiser raised over $351,000 in its first 24 hours, driven by more than 3,200 small donors. The MAGA KY super PAC, run by Chris LaCivita — who co-managed Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign — had spent $1.56 million in just 38 days on television and digital advertisements opposing Massie by early August 2025. By late March 2026, CBS News reported total MAGA KY spending had grown to approximately $2.7 million, while a super PAC linked to the Republican Jewish Coalition had directed more than $2.8 million toward the race. RJC CEO Matt Brooks had said earlier, “Like Trump, we are committed to the defeat of Massie.”

The involvement of the Republican Jewish Coalition alongside these massive outside donations makes one thing clear. The effort is not about Kentucky values but about enforcing unconditional loyalty to Israel. Who are these three Jewish billionaires, and what are their political priorities?

Paul Elliott Singer, born August 22, 1944, in New York City, contributed $1 million to MAGA KY — the single largest individual donation to the anti-Massie campaign. Forbes estimates his net worth at $6.7 billion as of 2025. restart

Singer founded Elliott Associates in 1977 with $1 million in seed capital. The firm grew into Elliott Management Corporation, which managed approximately $72.7 billion in assets as of December 31, 2024. Elliott has long been described as a “vulture fund” — its model involves buying distressed sovereign and corporate debt at steep discounts and pursuing aggressive litigation for full repayment. The most notorious example was Elliott’s 15-year legal campaign against Argentina over defaulted sovereign bonds, which ultimately extracted full repayment.

Singer has been among the most significant funders of neoconservative foreign policy ventures. He was FDD’s second-largest contributor from 2008 to 2011, donating $3.6 million to the hawkish think tank focused on Iran policy and pro-Israel advocacy. He serves as Chairman Emeritus at the Manhattan Institute, per the Elliott Management website, and donated more than $1 million to AIPAC’s United Democracy Project in recent election cycles.

Singer describes himself as a libertarian-leaning conservative but has consistently backed interventionist foreign policy. He was a major fundraiser for George W. Bush and heavily funded Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign. He donated $1 million to the anti-Trump Our Principles PAC during the Stop Trump movement before eventually reconciling with Trump and donating $5 million to his super PAC in 2024.

2. John Paulson

John Alfred Paulson, born December 14, 1955, in Queens, New York, contributed $250,000 to MAGA KY. Forbes estimated his net worth at $3.8 billion as of August 2025.

Paulson founded Paulson & Co. in 1994 with $2 million and one employee. He became a household name in finance for executing what author Gregory Zuckerman documented in his book The Greatest Trade Ever — shorting subprime mortgages ahead of the 2007-2008 financial crisis. His firm earned $15 billion that year, with Paulson personally pocketing roughly $4 billion.

Paulson served as one of Trump’s top economic advisers during the 2016 campaign and hosted a record-breaking fundraiser on April 6, 2024 at his Palm Beach mansion — the “Inaugural Leadership Dinner” — that raised $50.5 million for Trump’s presidential campaign, which Trump called “the biggest night in Fund Raising of ALL TIME.” Paulson himself stated: “This sold-out event has raised the most in a single political fundraiser in history.”

Paulson’s Israel-focused philanthropy has grown substantially in recent years. In 2023 he committed $27 million to Hebrew University of Jerusalem to build the Paulson Bar-El Building for Computer Science and Engineering, and in January 2026 his foundation added another $19 million, bringing his total commitment to Hebrew University to $46 million — one of the largest donations the university has ever received. Hebrew University awarded Paulson an honorary doctorate in June 2024 in recognition of his philanthropic contributions.

The most politically charged element of Massie’s campaign involves the late Jewish sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Paulson’s name appears in Epstein’s black book. In a September 2025 Newsmax interview, Massie named Paulson directly: “He’s a hedge fund manager and a major donor to the Republican Party, a major donor to the speaker of the House, a major donor to the president’s campaign, and he’s in Epstein’s black book.”

3. Miriam Adelson

Miriam Adelson, born October 10, 1945, in Tel Aviv during the British Mandate, contributed $750,000 via the Preserve America PAC, of which she is the primary funder. Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index puts her net worth at approximately $40 billion, while Forbes estimates $32–35 billion.

Born Miriam Farbstein to Jewish parents who fled Poland before the Holocaust, she served as a medical officer in the Israeli military before becoming a physician specializing in addiction treatment. She married Sheldon Adelson, the founder of Las Vegas Sands Corp., in 1991 and after his death in January 2021 assumed control of the family’s business and philanthropic empire, including majority ownership of the Dallas Mavericks.

The Adelson family has channeled more than $600 million into Trump’s three presidential campaigns and other Republican causes since 2015. In 2024 alone, Miriam contributed $106 million to Preserve America, her pro-Trump super PAC, eclipsing even the $75 million contributed by Elon Musk to his own PAC. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson were jointly instrumental in pushing Trump to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights during his first term.

At a White House Hanukkah reception on December 16, 2025, Adelson took the podium and publicly encouraged Trump to seek a third term — a move barred by the 22nd Amendment. She told the crowd she had spoken with attorney Alan Dershowitz about the constitutional question and concluded, “We can do it, think about it.” Trump then announced to the crowd that Adelson had promised “another $250 million” if he runs again in 2028, prompting chants of “Four more years.”

The campaign against Massie represents a broader pattern of pro-Israel donor networks targeting anti-war voices within the Republican Party. Massie has been targeted primarily for opposing U.S. military aid to Israel, voting against Trump’s reconciliation bill, and leading the push for full release of the Epstein files.

This is not the first time Massie has faced this pressure. In the 2024 cycle, AIPAC’s United Democracy Project launched an ad campaign against him, announcing an initial $300,000 TV buy on Fox affiliates statewide. UDP spokesperson Patrick Dorton declared the group was “shining a spotlight on Tom Massie’s atrocious anti-Israel record.” Massie pushed back, telling supporters that “the AIPAC super PAC just bought $300,000 of ads against me because I am often the lone Republican for freedom of speech, against foreign aid, and opposed to wars in the Middle East.” FEC filings reviewed by The Intercept placed UDP’s total verified expenditure against Massie at approximately $167,000. Voters were unmoved: Massie won his May 2024 primary with roughly 76 percent of the vote, defeating two challengers and declaring on election night, “AIPAC, your smear campaign on this American has backfired.”

May 19, 2026 will deliver the most honest test we have seen. Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza, which the entire world saw via livestream, may have finally produced a growing anti-Zionist current among Republican voters in the United States. The question is whether the growing anti-Zionist sentiment can stand against Jewish billionaire money. Should Massie lose, the defeat will expose a brutal truth: American politics functions as a Jewish oligarch playground where elections are mere theater.

Dumber and Plumber: Leftism as Suicide-Cult for Whites and Self-Service Racket for Non-Whites

April 12, 2026/6 Comments/in Featured Articles/by Tobias Langdon

Dumb and Dumber is an American movie about a pair of idiots who create chaos and disaster. Teletubbies is a British children’s program about a group of brightly dressed humanoids who emote rather than articulate. I’ve never seen either the movie or the program, but over the years I’ve learned what they’re about and what the characters look like. That’s why I thought of them both when I saw a proud female plumber win a by-election for the Green Party in the heavily enriched English city of Manchester.

The dumber plumber: Hannah Spencer and some Teletubbies (images from Wikipedia)

The plumber is called Hannah Spencer. She dresses brightly, emotes rather than articulates, and is determinedly d-u-m-b. Her dumbness is part of why she emotes rather than articulates. That is, she doesn’t base her politics on reason and reality, but on her own feelings and on the insatiable greed she shares with so many other leftists. It’s the greed to feed her narcissism. You’d know she’s a narcissist even before you knew her politics. There’s not just the bright clothing but the long blonde hair too. And there’s an irony there in her hair.

Here’s some of Hannah Spencer’s dumb emoting about the mud-flood and non-Whites preying on Whites: “We’re all human, but some people have been exposed to a lot of misinformation and it’s making them really angry.” For Spencer, the truth about non-White pathologies is “misinformation.” Yes, we are all human, but we’re not all human in the same way. And humans compete with each other in all manner of ways. For example, has Hannah Spencer ever asked herself why White women like her have hair and eyes of many different and attention-grabbing colors, while non-White women don’t?

Icy prehistoric Europe

It’s a very interesting question, after all, and the answer says a lot about the very different evolutionary paths followed by White women, on the one hand, and non-White women, on the other. But those differences explain why Hannah Spencer will never have pondered the question. Curiosity about H.B.D. – human bio-diversity – is taboo on the left. Leftists don’t ask the questions because they don’t like the answers. Although Spencer will flaunt her long blonde locks, she will never have asked herself why she has them or about the possible implications they have for her narcissistic, reality-denying politics. Essentially, the much wider variety of hair-color in White women arose from sexual competition. As the anthropologist Peter Frost has explained, there was a surplus of women in icy prehistoric Europe competing for the attention of men who were dying at higher rates on long, dangerous hunts. That’s why the women evolved attention-grabbing hair and eyes. Much though feminists would hate to admit it, this is yet another example of how women’s bodies have literally been formed by the male gaze and male preferences.

But it isn’t just hair- and eye-color that differs between Whites and non-Whites thanks to the distinct environments we’ve evolved in. Our psychology is different too: Whites are more individualistic, non-Whites like Pakistani Muslims more collectivist. Here’s another question that Hannah Spencer has certainly never asked herself: What do dark-haired Pakistani women in her constituency think about her beautiful blonde hair? They’ll be jealous, of course. Sexual competition between women hasn’t ended with mass migration from the Third World. No, it’s increased. But there’s also a taboo on the left about discussing the jealousy non-White women feel towards White women. And a taboo about discussing the lust non-White men feel towards White women. The jealousy and the lust have the same roots: the greater sexual attractiveness of White women, thanks both to their more colorful hair and eyes and to their paler skin (which, as Peter Frost has also explained, is another potent sexual marker).

Devout Muslim Mothin Ali and infidel whore Hannah Spencer (video from Twitter)

The jealousy and the lust are very harmful to White women. Particularly the lust, because it’s expressed as rape and sexual harassment. There’s more irony in a video from the election campaign of Hannah Spencer cavorting with uncovered hair behind Mothin Ali, the deputy leader of the Green Party. Ali is a devout Muslim whose wife wears the full-body covering known as the niqab. By his standards – and the standards of thousands of other Muslim men who voted Green in Manchester – Hannah Spencer is an infidel whore ripe for rape. Yes, for White men Spencer is signalling: “Come and woo me.” For non-White men she’s signalling: “Come and rape me.” But non-White Mothin won’t condemn Spencer’s unseemly cavorting and uncovered hair. He doesn’t want any premature revelation of a fatal fact: that leftism is a suicide-cult for Whites and a self-service racket for non-Whites. Instead, he announces in the video that “The Green Party is where the party’s at!” and chants “For Hannah Spencer!” as ethnicky music wails in the background. Muslims may be in-bred and stupid, but they’re quite cunning enough to exploit the narcissism and naivety of White leftists.

Clannishness, corruption and cousin-copulation

Like the Muslim rape-gangs that have been hard at work in Manchester for decades, Muslim in-breeding is another topic that the Green Party refuse to ask questions about. Again, they don’t want to hear the answers. Okay, “we’re all human,” as Hannah Spencer said, but when one human group conducts cousin-marriage for generations and another human group doesn’t, this will result in some interesting differences. Lower average IQ in the cousin-copulators, for example. And higher rates of genetic disease. Higher clannishness and corruption too. But the Green Party are eager to exploit the clannishness of Muslims in Britain, which is why they issued leaflets and videos in Urdu, not English, as they campaigned in Manchester. The Greens are a leftist party, after all, and leftists believe in power, not in principle.

By supporting Mudzone and the mud-flood, the Greens are following the Orwellian path already taken by Labour. The name of the Labour Party has been a lie for decades and the name of the Green Party is rapidly becoming a lie too. Just as the Labour party has abandoned the White working-class it was founded to defend, so the Green Party is abandoning the natural world it was founded to defend. Under their gay Jewish leader Zac Polanski, the Greens are talking much less about Gaia and much more about open borders. Soaring population means soaring pollution, but so what? Power is what matters to leftists, not principle, and Polanski thinks that more non-Whites will be good for his leftism. They’ll certainly be bad for British Whites, which is another reason for Polanski to want them. And they’ll be bad both for British gays and for British animals, which is another irony that Hannah Spencer didn’t recognize as she pursued the votes of dark-haired and in-bred Pakistani Muslims in Manchester.

Dog-Lovers for Dog-Loathers

As you’d expect, Spencer is a firm fan of the LGBTQIA+ community and an ardent animal-lover. In particular, she’s a dog-lover. She once campaigned against a greyhound-racing track in Manchester and told one interviewer: “I was saying: ‘Look, do you know how badly these dogs are treated?’ A lot of people didn’t know. That track got closed [in 2020], which felt massive.” Greyhound racing is a White sport, but has Spencer ever campaigned against halal slaughter, the cruel Muslim practice of cutting animals’ throats without stunning them first? Of course not. Like all mainstream leftists, Spencer is a devout believer in two core dogmas: first, that all humans are the same under the skin; second, that Whites are innately villainous and non-Whites innately virtuous. That’s why the left don’t challenge non-White misbehavior and crime. Indeed, they both excuse and encourage it. Like countless other Greens, Spencer is a dog-lover and gay-worshipper who works on behalf of dog-loathers and gay-whippers. Muslims regard dogs as unclean and homosexuality as an abomination. Blacks mistreat both dogs and gays at higher rates than Whites. After all, cruelty to animals and homophobia are central to many rich and vibrant non-White cultures.

That’s yet another taboo topic to the Green Party, which is attracting more and more votes from narcissistic Whites and stupid-but-cunning Muslims. The Whites and Muslims are abandoning the Labour party because of its genuine support for Israel’s military massacre-machine and its pretended opposition to Third-World migration. On the so-called right wing of British politics, there’s a parallel re-alignment under way as Whites abandon the Conservatives and embrace Reform. The Conservatives richly deserve to be abandoned, but Reform don’t deserve to be embraced. It’s more and more obvious that Nigel Farage intends to betray White voters just as thoroughly as the Conservatives did. Like blonde Hannah Spencer and her dark-haired Muslim supporters in Manchester, there’s a fascinating anthropological – and evolutionary – contrast between one Black candidate for Reform and prospective White voters in Southampton.

Treciaus Chitsika and Traitorous Farage

The Black candidate is called Treciaus Chitsika and is a woman, although that’s not obvious either from her name or from her face. Farage and Reform would call her “British,” but in fact she’s trans-British. That is, she’s as genuinely British as a “transwoman” is genuinely female. In other words, she’s not British at all. She’s from Zimbabwe and looking at her face I thought “Homo erectus.” Yes, she reminded me that Blacks interbred with distinct species of humans inside Africa, just as Whites and Asians interbred with other distinct species of humans outside Africa. Blacks have cognitively significant genes that non-Blacks don’t. And vice versa. I’m happy to acknowledge that Treciaus Chitsika is human, but she is not human in the same way as Whites are. Accordingly, she does not belong in a White nation like Britain, let alone belong on the ballot here.

By promoting non-Whites like Treciaus Chitsika, Nigel Farage has proved that he is a traitor in the same way as the so-called King and Queen of England, Chuck the Cuck and his wife Camilla. I’ve already written about the narcissism of leftism, but I haven’t mentioned how it takes different forms in Whites and their ethnic pets. The narcissism of White leftists involves demonstrating their universalist virtue by promoting non-Whites; the narcissism of the non-Whites involves accepting that promotion by Whites as no more than their due. You can see both forms of narcissism in this photo of Queen Camilla with Selina Brown, the Black women she chose as “the UK’s first National Reading Hero” and presented with “the inaugural Queen’s Reading Room Medal”:

Camilla and her she-rilla, the “National Reading Hero” Selina Brown (image from BBC)

The White woman Camilla is looking pleased with herself for promoting a Black woman, while the Black woman Selina is looking pleased with herself for being a Black woman. It’s yet another example of how leftism is a suicide-cult for Whites and a self-service racket for non-Whites. We have traitors at the top in the West and removing them will be an essential part of restoring the West.

My Little Dog and Two Black Burqas

April 11, 2026/10 Comments/in Featured Articles, Islamization/by Richard Faussette

A few months ago, I was walking my dog in the city and out of the corner of my eye I saw someone dressed in black recoil at my approach. I looked up and to my left to see two women in black burqas looking down at my dog from where they were standing a few steps away. I was annoyed by their posture of feigned horror, obviously at my little dog’s presence, but apologized anyway for inconveniencing them. Why? I’m not sure. They chose not to acknowledge my kind gesture anyway. I am civilized to a fault, I thought. I felt sorry for the women hidden beneath their burqas who were unable to appreciate a little dog.

I encountered a story a while ago that when the Muslims conquered Zoroastrian Persia in the 7th century A.D., they made the Zoroastrian Persians bring their dogs out of their houses and then slaughtered the dogs in front of their owners. The Zoroastrians had revered their dogs, who served as the “locks on their doors” protecting their homes from intrusion. In the wake of that encounter with these Muslim women I decided to look into the story I had heard, to see if it was true and consulted my research assistant Grok, X.com‘s AI robot, to see what was known about the Muslim animosity toward dogs. I had read somewhere the Hadith teaches that an angel will not come into a house with a dog in it. I had heard that, to a Muslim, a dog was impure. I had heard that, to a Muslim, a dog was filthy.

I looked at my dog who did not appear to be impure in any way that I could determine and he wasn’t filthy. I looked at him again and saw an instinctively innocent angel who was loyal to me. I’d done little to earn his loyalty, but he had gifted me anyway. It was a dog’s decision, and I am happy my little dog has made that decision in my behalf. When I asked Grok, my research robot, about the Zoroastrian and Muslim feeling toward dogs, this is the text Grok generated for me:

[Grok research snip]

The unique role of a dog in Zoroastrianism:

In Zoroastrianism, dogs hold a uniquely elevated status as one of the most beneficent, clean, righteous, and spiritually powerful creatures created by Ahura Mazda (the Wise Lord). They are praised for their loyalty, vigilance, intelligence, and innate ability to ward off evil (daevas or demons). Harming a dog is treated as gravely as harming a human in the Avestan scriptures.

This reverence for dogs is one of the most distinctive features of Zoroastrianism compared to many other ancient or neighboring traditions. It reflects the religion’s emphasis on asha (truth/order), purity, and compassionate stewardship of creation.

During the Muslim Arab conquest of Persia (Sassanid Empire) in the 7th century (roughly 633–651 CE), the invading forces and subsequent Muslim authorities deliberately targeted Zoroastrian cultural and religious practices as part of asserting dominance and promoting Islamization. Dogs, which held a sacred and highly revered status in Zoroastrianism, became a specific point of cultural conflict.

Spiritual and protective role of a dog in Zoroastrianism:

To a Zoroastrian, a dog’s gaze is considered purifying and capable of driving away evil spirits. This belief underpins the ritual of sagdid (“dog-seeing”), performed after death: a dog (ideally a “four-eyed” one with spots above its eyes) is brought to look at the corpse. This verifies death, contains demons of decay (Nasu), and protects the soul. Celestial dogs also accompany the soul across the Chinvat Bridge (the bridge to the afterlife) and ensure safe passage into heaven.

Zoroastrian Scriptural basis for favoring dogs:

The Vendidad (part of the Avesta, especially Fargards/Chapters 13, 14, and 15) devotes extensive sections to dogs, detailing their care, types (house dog, shepherd dog, stray dog), and the severe punishments for mistreating them. Ahura Mazda declares the dog “self-clothed and self-shod, watchful and wakeful,” born to watch over human goods and receive food from humans. Helping or harming a dog is repeatedly equated with helping or harming a person. Zoroastrians are commanded to feed dogs (ideally before feeding themselves) and assist stray dogs. avesta.org

actical and ritual importance:

Traditionally, every Zoroastrian household should feed a dog daily. In extreme cases, a dog could even substitute for a second human in certain rituals. Dogs receive funeral rites similar to humans in some traditions. The concept of ihtiram-i sag (“respect for the dog”) remains a living value among many Zoroastrians, especially Iranian communities. zoroastrians.net

Dualistic context:

Zoroastrianism divides animals into beneficent (good, created by Ahura Mazda) and khrafstras (evil creatures of Ahriman). Dogs rank among the highest of the good animals—sometimes even above the cow in later texts—because of their protective role in the cosmic struggle between good and evil.

What did Muslims do to Zoroastrian dogs when they conquered Persia in the 7th century?

Note that Islamic tradition itself is not uniformly hostile to dogs — the Quran mentions them positively in places (e.g., the story of the Companions of the Cave), and Prophet Muhammad reportedly spared certain useful dogs after initially ordering a cull.

However, the dominant cultural attitude that spread with the conquest emphasized dogs as impure in daily and ritual life, especially in contrast to pre-Islamic Persian reverence. Over the following centuries (8th–13th and beyond), as Iran became majority Muslim, the Zoroastrian view of dogs largely disappeared from mainstream society, surviving mainly among the dwindling Zoroastrian communities and the Parsi diaspora in India. This episode is often cited in Iranian nationalist and Zoroastrian historiography as one example among many of cultural erasure during the transition from the Sassanid to the early Islamic period.

What happened to Zoroastrian dogs?

Declared unclean (najis): After the conquest, dogs — especially the highly revered “four-eyed” dogs (those with spots above the eyes, used in the sagdid death ritual) — were proclaimed ritually unclean under the new Islamic religious framework. This directly contradicted Zoroastrian teachings in the Vendidad, where dogs were considered pure, protective, and almost equivalent to humans in spiritual value. worldhistory.org

Persecution as a tool of subjugation: Historical accounts and later Persian/Zoroastrian traditions indicate that persecuting dogs became a deliberate method to break Zoroastrian (and broader Persian) cultural identity. The profound Persian love for dogs was well-known, so attacking this practice was a symbolic and psychological blow. Dogs that were not strictly utilitarian (e.g., guard dogs, hunting dogs, or herding dogs) faced particular hostility. facebook.com

Ritual disruption: The important Zoroastrian funeral practice of sagdid (having a dog look at the corpse to ward off demons of decay and confirm death) was effectively suppressed or discontinued in many areas as Zoroastrian institutions declined and exposure funerals were restricted or replaced.

Broader context: While there is no single recorded mass extermination campaign targeting every dog across Persia in 7th-century primary sources, the shift in religious norms led to widespread mistreatment, killing of non-working dogs, and social pressure against keeping or revering them in the traditional Zoroastrian way. This occurred alongside the gradual decline of Zoroastrian fire temples, rituals, and overall population through conversion, taxation (jizya), and occasional violence.

Muslim treatment of dogs in the United States?

I love my dog. I feel toward my dog the way Persian Zoroastrians feel toward their dogs. I know most Americans feel the same way about their dogs as I do which is why I’ve written this missive. Be aware of our cultural differences with Muslims who were brought to the West not to assimilate into our culture but to rule over us by implementing their own Sharia laws which they have tried to do everywhere they have settled throughout their diaspora history. It is wise, given these tumultuous times, to acquaint yourself with their history.

When Muslims first began to drive taxis in the city, occasionally a Muslim would refuse to take me and my dog in the taxi. As time passed, this happened less often, but the two burqas indicate that the sentiment still prevails among them.

Keep your dogs close. Keep your families close. Keep your friends close.

Most Muslims are not educated to their history so they will relive it. They are in the free world as they raise their hands to destroy it. We must rise above the fray and help them enter modernity without breaking their heads against it which is what their traditions insist they do.

Praying by the hundreds in our public streets curtails our freedoms.
Self-flagellating en masse in public is an exercise before an attack.
Dictating the food we eat is a command, not a request.

We must protect what we have that is sacred to us, including our dogs, and not let the things we hold sacred, be profaned. If we achieve an understanding with the ancient Islamic religion and its adherents we might embrace them, but if we fail to convince them civil war and conquest is not in their future, we must deport them. We have created modernity, and it is truly a paradise. We call it the free world. Most everyone else wants to live in the free world of the West.

Muslims threaten freedom wherever they find it, while we have historically struggled to preserve it. Preservation is the only option the free world has, now that Muslims live in our midst.

If they have legally immigrated to the United States, perhaps they can stay, if they adapt to freedom and modernity, and join us in the preservation of the paradise we have created — or they can go home.

The decision is theirs. They are free to make it. For now.

Postcards from the Empire: Postcard from 1967, Part 2

April 10, 2026/5 Comments/in Featured Articles/by Don Wassall

Review of Sports Illustrated, December 4, 1967 issue. Those who experienced living in the U.S. in the 1960s know that mainstream sources of information were very limited then. We walked across the room to change the TV channel, and our choices pretty much consisted of the local CBS, ABC and NBC affiliates along with PBS, which was mainly for the upper crust.

The local and national news broadcasts were similar in content, especially the three national shows. Lots of Americans grumbled about liberal bias but there was nowhere else to go. Then as now, corporations, NGOs, foundations and the federal government poured money into “mainstream” and left wing media and publications, while the right wing press was mostly underground and very difficult to find.

The same liberal bias was reinforced by the weekly magazines such as Time, Newsweek, Life and Look. When it came to sports, Sports Illustrated was the undisputed king, having started in 1954 and by 1967 had a weekly paid circulation of three million. The initial issue in 1954 had a circulation of 350,000, showing that SI had substantial backing from the get-go as well as establishment approval.

The cover of Sports Illustrated’s December 4th, 1967 issue

SI’s only semi-serious competitor was Sport magazine, which ran from 1946 to 2000 but was always second fiddle to Sports Illustrated. The Sporting News, owned by the Spink family of St. Louis, was another weekly, but concentrated mostly on baseball for much of its existence before being bought by corporate interests, which fairly quickly ruined it by turning what had been a serious publication into worthless fluff. What’s left of Sporting News (the “The” in its title was dropped in 2002) is now online and read by just about nobody.

Sports Illustrated similarly declined in recent decades. Its circulation fell and it eventually went from a weekly to a monthly, and stopped printing altogether for a while in 2024 but its present owners claim that the print issue will continue.

The question is, does anyone care? SI was known for its photography, its generally high-quality journalism (albeit always echoing the mainstream liberal party line of the time), and its annual swimsuit issue, which came out each year while much of the country was in the midst of the worst of winter weather. Which model was going to be on the cover was always a matter of great interest, as were all the models, featuring beautiful girls wearing seemingly less each year. Models like Heidi Klum, Cheryl Tiegs and Christie Brinkley were propelled to fame after appearing in SI’s swimsuit issue.

But the leftist radicals eventually destroyed SI, just as they did everything else in society. Within recent years, SI’s swimsuit issue has featured old women, fat women, trannies and men, which fast-tracked the publication’s already quick descent into irrelevance.

So looking back through the pages of an old Sports Illustrated is much like opening a time capsule, a look at an America that is now long gone, but not forgotten by those who experienced it. I have a number of Sports Illustrateds from the 1960s and ‘70s and if the interest is there I will continue to feature these brief looks back in time.

The cover of the December 4, 1967 SI shows a drawing of a basketball court from roughly the free throw line to the basket along with five stick-type players, two wearing red and three wearing blue. It cost 40 cents. Three of the stick figures are White, the other two Black. Even though the stick features have no other identifiable features including no facial features, SI was careful to represent their race.

And of course, spoken or unspoken – perhaps written or unwritten is a more apt way to put it – race has always been extremely important in the way it’s portrayed to the general culture, the mass consumers of sports, entertainment and politics.

In 1967, Whites were still 88% of the U.S. population, and were generally shown in that ratio in advertising, movies and television. In 2025, the White population is now estimated at just 58%, and Whites, especially White men, have been all but eliminated from most forms of media, all part of The Great Replacement supported by the entire regime outside of a few dissidents in Congress and segments of the alternative media.

The 12/4/67 SI is thick with advertising. The weekly feature found in the front of each issue called “Scorecard” doesn’t begin until Page 17. Scorecard featured a short, usually not serious, look at various stories from the previous week. This issue starts off by quoting an Argentine leftist, Juan Jose Sebreli, who believes football (soccer) “educates the masses for passivity, for nonaction and for non-participation in public life,” adding, “Mussolini, Hitler and even the senile Petain were promoters of sports, and their example has been followed by most of today’s world leaders. Monopolistic, capitalistic and fascist regimes use it as a means of psychological control of the masses by means of conditioned reflexes.” Ah, the obligatory Hitler reference, something that hasn’t changed in the intervening 58 years.

But there does seem to be a connection between sports fanaticism and having little to no interest in politics. Rooting for sports mercenaries – who now make upwards of $60 million and more per year – and the cities they supposedly represent is a safety valve form of pseudo-tribalism that actually diminishes real tribalism, especially among Whites who thanks to the anti-White Caste System in sports (think DEI if you don’t know what the Caste System is yet) have been well trained to root and cheer for Blacks over their own kind.

There’s a mountain of direct and indirect evidence to support the reality that DEI came to sports in a major way just as the Permanent Cultural Revolution was fully implemented in 1968 and thereafter. To cite just one example, here are the athletes who have appeared on the most SI covers: Michael Jordan (50 covers), Muhammad Ali (40), LeBron James (25), Tiger Woods (24), Magic Johnson (23), and Kareem Abdul Jabar (22).

After Scorecard, some of the weekly featured articles were about the New York Giants, Yale defeating Harvard in their annual football matchup, a preview of College Basketball 1968, a car race in Daytona Beach, and a speedboat race at Lake Havasu, Arizona.

There was a weekly wrap-up of college football results from the previous week, and a column on Bridge by Charles Goren. At the back of the magazine was “For the Record,” a small print summary covering the week’s news in basketball, boating, football, handball, harness racing, hockey, horse racing, motor sports, and track and field. The right hand column displayed “Faces in the Crowd,” notable athletic achievements by mostly young people, a few of whom later became famous athletes. “The 19^th Hole,” letters from readers, always occupied the last few pages of each issue in between the endless pages of advertisements.

The most interesting article to appear in this issue was titled “A Step to an Olympic Boycott,” by Jonathan Rodgers. About 200 people had recently attended a meeting of the Western Regional Black Youth Conference at a Baptist church in Los Angeles, for the purpose of deciding whether or not to call for a boycott by Black Olympians of the upcoming 1968 Summer games in Mexico City.

Reported SI: “The workshop was an orderly one, although outside the church a bloody fracas erupted between militant Black Power followers. . . and a group of self-styled Communists.”

The workshop was organized and led by Harry Edwards, a then 24-year-old part-time instructor of sociology at San Jose State. If his name sounds familiar, it’s because Edwards, now 82, has been publicized and praised time and again by the corporate media as a militant agitator on behalf of Blacks, or Negroes as they were still called in SI. It wasn’t until early 1968 that the term Negro was dropped, seemingly overnight, and replaced with Black and later African-American, though that seven-syllable tag never really caught on like Black did and still does.

Whether Edwards was an outright communist like some of those engaging in skirmishes outside the church isn’t clear, but there’s no doubt that he was very militant, although he doesn’t seem to have ever been criticized by anyone in the establishment. Curious how that works, isn’t it? Among others quotes, Edwards says of Black athletes and the Olympics: “It’s time for the Black people to stand up as men and women and refuse to be utilized as performing animals for a little extra dog food. You see, this may be our last opportunity to settle this mess short of violence.”

For a “performing animal,” Edwards seemed to have attained a position of privilege even then at the age of 24. He was a center on San Jose State’s basketball team, then went to Cornell and obtained two advanced degrees and was working on his Ph.D. at the time of this issue of SI.

As it turned out, there was no Black boycott of the memorable 1968 Mexico City Olympics. But the most remembered event to this day was when two Black U.S. sprinters, John Carlos and Tommy Smith, who had finished first and second in the 200 meter sprint, looked down and raised clenched fists in the air while the national anthem played. Harry Edwards, the life-long militant who was always embraced and promoted by the system he was supposedly fighting against, played a large role in bringing about Carlos’ and Smith’s act of protest.

Looking at the advertisements and comparing them to today is always instructive. The majority of the ads in the 12/4/67 SI featured a picture of the product being pushed. When people were shown they were invariably White, usually young or middle-aged, well-dressed and looking complacent but not giddy unlike today when Whites are rarely seen in advertising and when they are they are often shown acting orgasmic after biting into a hamburger or candy bar.

The car ads are always fun to look at, cars like the Toronado with its cool name and looks. The headline for that one is “Toronado. Built for leaders, not followers,” with a picture of White man about 40 years old in a suit standing beside a burgundy colored Toronado.

Sports Illustrated in late 1967 was still geared primarily to middle class White sports fans, mostly men. That was reflected in the articles and ads. But the article about Harry Edwards and the proposed Black boycott of the Olympics was an important harbinger of what was to come as the Permanent Cultural Revolution was fully unleashed in 1968, perhaps still the most fateful year in American history.
