    THE MILLENNIA OF THE INTERIOR CRIMES OF THE CHURCH MIRROR THE EXTERNAL CRIMES OF ISLAM.

    —“When the Church needed to be enlightened and pull Europe together after the fall of the Roman Empire it did the opposite and was obscurantist, belligerent and divisive. When in the modern times it needed to be a guardian of tradition and a shepherd of our culture it became a guardian of sexual abuse and a spineless sheep led by the culture imposed by once despised outsiders. Burn Galileo and then open the city gates to barbarian hordes. Church in a nutshell.”—Andrey Sokoloff

    WILL YOU ACT?

    Europeans built the only high trust labor, working, middle, and upper middle classes in the world. The american experiment was an attempt to give the high trust classes their own government without the church or state parasites of all of history. The left’s objective has been to hollow out that high trust middle class and produce another small upper class and vast governable underclass. And it’s been working.

    The only question is whether you will join with others to do something in order to change it, and reverse the conquest of the THIRD WAY.

  • “Christianity, historically speaking, has been anything but a unified phenomenon

    —“Christianity, historically speaking, has been anything but a unified phenomenon; to get to the bottom of it as a faith in its own right, one must look to its source, to the Bible, which means – one must already accept the Protestant turn. And I strongly suspect that when one does so, one does not find the glory to which the Christian faith has at times lent itself.

    When many on the Right defend Christianity, I suspect they are actually defending the Church. But the Church today can hardly be looked to with a great deal of hope.

    The Church of Vatican II, of John and Paul, of a Ratzinger who resigns to make way for this Jesuit of a Bergoglio and his pandering to the Third World hordes – what can one expect from this Church, and how is one to seriously anticipate a spiritual shift within it?”—John Bruce Leonard

  • Western Heroism and Semitic Submission – the Masculine versus The Feminine Across 3500 Years of History

    WESTERN HEROISM and SEMITIC SUBMISSION – THE MASCULINE VERSUS THE FEMININE ACROSS 3500 YEARS OF HISTORY (thanks to whomever asked me to comment) [I]t’s a very simple difference. Agency vs Submission. Heathens (Pagans in the pejorative) in western civilization are imagined heroes in competition with the spirits(dead), non-humans(green man, primitive man), demigods(powerful but mortal), and gods (powerful and immortal), and can, by effort and cunning outwit them – or – negotiate (bribe) them. This is a universal artifact of the conquest and replacement of european peoples by the westward expansion of the indo-europeans (Yaman, Corded ware et al) and their Militaristic, Expansionist, Sky Worshipping, Metalsmithing, business of profiting from the domestication of animal man, with horse, bronze, wheel and their very visible power over nature. It is a religion of agency not submission. Demand for a “religion of empires” increases with the distribution of peoples under rule, and the group strategies of those people under rule, and the compatibilities of those group’s strategies under such a universal rule. The semitic methodology of INVERTING the aristocratic (western) ethos by converting the bible of greco roman civilization (iliad of homer) which occupied the vast majority of writings in the greco roman period, with a ‘hero’ of ‘submission and resistance’ was an interesting strategy by which the vast underclasses of the old european (byzantine), and greco-anatolian, syrian levantine world could create a resistance movement by the cultural destruction of their superiors, Just as the Marxists (Marx, Boas, Freud, Cantor, Mises, Adorno et al, Rothbard, and the neocons) repeated 1700 years later (monopoly marxism of private property, monopoly marxism of common property, monopoly marxism of identity-property (culture)). The Semitic method of undermining was as successful in the Modern world (undermining colonialism) as it was in the ancient world (undermining colonialism). False promise of salvation after death. False promise of economic salvation. False promise of cultural (identity) salvation. The method of using sophism (false promise + sophism (Pilpul) + Straw Manning (Critique) is in fact a successful method of undermining a civilization that is overwhelmed by overextension, and profiting from overextension through commerce, and the dependence of commerce at international scales on trust. Christianity succeeded because trade collapsed in europe after (a) undermining by jewish-christian vanguard, (b) enforcement by byzantine (old world, greek) defeat of rome, and (c) collapse of world trade under arab-muslim expansion, (d) and the eventual consumption of all capital of the great civilizations of the ancient world, and the destruction of all those civilizations as a consequence. So, as trade and knowledge increased, europeans gradually (expectedly) extracted themselves from Semitic superstition, the church’s’ monopoly on information and literacy, the 50% of dead capital in europe under the church. and the corruption of the church as a monopoly federal government selling false receipts of salvation the way the current academy sells false diplomas. Given that the remains of Christianity are what leave us vulnerable to Semiticism (abrahamic monotheism, marxism-socialism-postmodernism-feminism, and the use of false promise, sophism, straw-manning, and the discount on disapproval, shaming, ridicule, moralizing, rallying as a substitute for truthful (scientific, rational) argument. It is only logical that the aristocratic right in Europe (using literary philosophy, moralism, and history) and aristocratic right in the States (using law and, economics, and science) should produce arguments to restore our native religion of the hearth to one that is heroic and expansionary rather than submissive and assisting in our surrender. Nothing in human behavior or history is difficult. It’s all simple.

    BRITON VS GERMANY

    (how germany made use of second mover advantage: england betamax, germany vhs)

    By Aaron Kahland

    I’ll start by addressing education. Let’s take the metric of universities. Germany had more than ten before 16th century concluded whilst England’s third university was first founded in 1824 and Oxbridge were largely confined to theology and law.

    The protestant reformation led to compulsory education in Germany well before it was commonplace in England.

    The pietist movement in Germany led to the concept of ‘Bildung’ or a general education in the humanities which led to a revival of the study of the Classics. By the 19th century, whilst the Britons were busying themselves with superficial comparisons between Victorian and Roman periods, Germans were discovering places like Troy.

    By 1933, Germany had more Nobel Prize winners than all English speakers on the planet combined.

    But that is actually a poor metric considering that Germany invented the modern university and it became the model for the rest of the world and, importantly, the United States.

    I want to emphasize that i am not entirely convinced that the general education of the average German was better than that of the average Briton. Perhaps it was, perhaps it was not – I really don’t know. A good indicator might be book sales and what books were being sold in the 19th century.

    However, I would argue that by the 19th century, the upper 5% of Germans were better educated than Britons – and this is reflected in the fact that the Second Industrial Revolution occurred not in Britain but Germany. Whilst Britain was the origin of the Scientific Revolution – the Germans scholars absolutely embraced it and built their deucational institutions using the scientific method as a foundation. In fact I might argue that German philosophy was a response / reaction to that tremendous pace of scientific advance.

    By the 19th century in both France and Briton – Germany became synonymous with science and France had entirely given up hope of ever competing. It came to be understood, in Europe, that there was something peculiar about German civilization that provided it a technological advantage over others.

    It was this second Industrial Revolution – the fact that Germany now completely dominated electrics, machine tools, chemicals, pharamaceuticals that, in my view, was the cause of this civilizational conflict. By the late 19th Century the British ruling classes were determined to build a global Empire that would be run by a global English-speaking elite – the Rhodes Scholarship was established precisely for the purpose of selecting this elite on merit. Germany however, was the obstacle to achieving this because of her scientific advancement.

    (I baited Aaron Kahland into this post. He didn’t bit. So I just outright asked him. This is the result. lol -hugs )
