It doesn’t say what it was meant to say. Not today. When the Scottish firebrand John Knox railed against “the monstrous regiment of women” in 1558, he wasn’t talking about women as a group, he was talking about women as rulers. By “regiment” he meant “rule.” Knox was a fierce opponent of Mary, Queen of... Read More

Absurd, Harmful, and Alien Religious Beliefs and Practices Should Not Be Tolerated
Author’s Note: this essay contains mild spoilers for two episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm: “Ski Lift” and “Palestinian Chicken.” No matter how idiotic, harmful, or ridiculous a religious belief or practice may be, a deeply engrained social more and value of religious tolerance has emerged in the modern world in the past few decades. According... Read More

Responding to Joel Davis and Keith Woods
Before a hot war begins, when the bullets start flying and the bombs start exploding, political warfare rages. We witness political warfare these days almost every time politicians open their mouths. Before political warfare, however, we have cultural warfare, which is where metapolitics becomes important. This kind of warfare consists of various historical, ideological, or... Read More
The effects of immigration on the East End before the Great War
In this essay I examine the effects of Jewish immigration on the native English in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing mainly on the East End of London and drawing entirely on the work of Jewish historians. Areas of concentration While wealthier Jews typically lived in the West End or in country houses,... Read More
In a previous essay I discussed the causes of the Jewish immigration wave that began in 1881 and the role of the existing Jewish population and their supporters in Britain. Here I expand on the situation of Jews in Britain before 1881, their influence on British foreign and domestic policy, the reasons for the mass... Read More
Post-biological, post-material, post-logical. For leftists, the human race became all of those things long ago. Humans are no longer constrained by the laws of biology, the bounds of matter and the strictures of logic. That’s why leftists insist that the brains of all human groups, Blacks and Whites, men and women, are absolutely identical in... Read More

I am a huge Bonapartist. I support the Napoleonic code, the establishment of a pan-European Empire under French leadership, and the destruction of the Holy Roman Empire and the reorganization of the German States as the Confederation of the Rhine. Napoleon himself, however, I abhor. While he led from the front, repeatedly risking his life... Read More
A recent talking point on the lips of several figures of the right (Steve Bannon, JD Vance, Tucker Carlson) is that the war in Ukraine is a fratricidal conflict between two Slavic peoples, and that the United States should play no part in it. Though I don’t know if such rhetoric is politically incorrect apathy... Read More
General Leo Geyr von Schweppenburg: “Any objective observer will admit that National Socialism did raise the social status of the worker, and in some respects even his standard of living.”
A Noltean Perspective on the Origins, Errors, and Consequences of World War II
To the shock and dismay of those of a more mainstream, conservative persuasion, many different voices in dissident right, far right, and populist right circles have expressed adulation, admiration, and approval for Adolf Hitler, seemingly without qualification or reservation.[1] Particularly in “Culture as Programming,” I have expressed sympathy for and agreement with much of the...

It’s called a “RoboRoach” and it’s one of the horriblest things I’ve ever seen. A living cockroach has an electronic board mounted on its back and connected to its nervous system. The ethical imbeciles responsible for this miniature abomination proclaimed, with appropriately autistic enthusiasm, that you will be able to “Control a living insect from... Read More
There’s something pathetic and final about this photo of a wheelchair-bound Pope receiving B’Nai’Brith’s highest honor: how can the Church ever recover from such an image? It was May 30, 2022, Pope Francis received an award from B’Nai’Brith (the most powerful Jewish freemasonry) to thank him for his support of them. All Francis’s predecessors, from... Read More

Secor: The establishment, and particularly the center Right, are deathly afraid of us, and for good reason. The true Right is, from their perspective, taking over and ruining their multigenerational project, a GOP that acts as a release valve against the real Right, grassroots white people, populists, etc. Their goal of preventing these abandoned groups...

Earlier this month fans of mixed martial arts got a much-needed dose of revisionist history, when UFC featherweight fighter Bryce Mitchell made positive remarks about National Socialist Germany. During an appearance on the ArkanSanity Podcast, Mitchell made everybody lose their minds when he initially defended Adolf Hitler’s leadership of the German National Socialist state. “I... Read More
In Britain today, it takes a heart of stone to read about the suffering of Jewish students without laughing. The Jewish Chronicle has just published “Exclusive research” showing a “shocking volume of assaults, abuse and threats” suffered by Jews at British universities. Among the incidents that the Chronicle deems worthy of note are that “A... Read More
Projects of Peoplehood from Biblical Israel to the Collapse of British Patriotism
Preface This book sheds much-needed light on contemporary controversies surrounding the seemingly oxymoronic phenomenon of “Christian nationalism,” past, present, and future, as problem and as solution. Part One explores the ostensibly biblical foundations of Christian nationalism, the first-century Jesus movement, and the early Christian church in Greco-Roman antiquity. Part Two examines the extent to which... Read More

I am perhaps best known for documenting a hostile, highly influential Jewish elite in the U.S. and really throughout the West. But I think things are changing in a good direction. With some important exceptions. Jews ascended to the heights of American society in several stages. In the early twentieth century they were important enough... Read More
This interview pushes the envelop on conservative views on the Middle East, neocons pushing America’s forever wars, the shamelessness of pro-Israel media, Trump’s relationship with Netanyahu (not good), the evangelicals at Fox News, and much else. My excerpt begins with their discussion of these issues. The entire interview is here. One can only hope that... Read More

The roots of the “Hitler-Controlled-Opposition” myth go back to the 1920s and 1930s in the circles of Hitler’s political rivals, namely the German and Soviet Communist Parties, the leftists of the West and the hard left faction of the National Socialist German Worker’s Party (NSDAP).[1] The intention was obviously to prevent Hitler and the NSDAP...

I have been keeping fairly close track on the Senate confirmation hearings but never came across any mention of these exchanges. The New York Times, e.g., has nothing to say about them in its article “4 Takeaways from Tulsi Gabbard’s Confirmation Hearing.” Nor is there any mention of these exchanges in a second Times article...

“Utter scum.” That is how the libertarian Tom Slater has described the Southport killer Axel Rudakubana. Slater is blustering and evading the consequences of his own ideology. He’s doing the same when he calls Rudakubana an “eighteen-year-old Brit.” Rudakubana is obviously not British, but that’s precisely why Slater calls him one. Like all his comrades... Read More
President Trump is found on cover of the latest paperback edition of The Dispossessed Majority
The Context Absolutely true event — not a joke: My former neighbor, whose parents emigrated from the nation of Georgia to Israel to the United States, introduced me for the first time to his parents on a family visit. I cordially spoke, “Hello, my name is Sigurd, and I live next door.” The mother immediately... Read More
TPC: The Civil Rights Movement was hardly the saintly march and holy crusade that has been portrayed by the schoolbooks and by the media over the years. In brief, what is your view? What was the view that you had back in the 1960s when the South was being put through the Civil Rights Movement?... Read More
Ivor Caplin, a member of parliament of the ruling Labour Party in the UK, was arrested last week. Allegedly, he had arranged to meet a boy in Brighton for sexual relations, only to be caught by paedophile hunters. This case is not unusual in a political party that has shown itself more than tolerant of... Read More

In the dying embers of the Biden presidency, the laws of entropy seem to be channeling all of the energy toward the incoming administration. Trump has already promised a flurry of up to 100 executive orders on day 1, but some heat is still emanating from the not-so-friendly fire between the two factions of the... Read More
Richard Hermer must be utterly horrified. He’s the Jewish Attorney-General for the current Labour government and in 2024 he delivered the Bingham Lecture, a little-known but highly important event in Britain’s legal calendar. The title of his lecture was “The Rule of Law in an Age of Populism” and Hermer hammered away tirelessly on his... Read More
Is American imperialism back on the menu? Since taking back the White House this past November, president-elect Donald Trump has hinted at acquiring Greenland from Denmark, using military force to take back the Panama Canal, and even made veiled threats to annex Canada. Greenland and Panama have strategic importance to the United States, as the... Read More
It is important not to be romanticise war. Most people my age (I was born in 1980) had at least one grandfather who fought in World War II. When I was a child, I relished my grandfather telling me “war stories” of his time in Libya, Greece and Italy. But these were obviously highly sanitised.... Read More
From My Egregious Errors to the Conspiracy for Greater Israel
I had an interesting encounter the other day. It was with my own brain. More precisely, it was with subconscious mechanisms in my own brain. I was scanning the shelves in the non-fiction section of a library when a title-and-author caught my eye: The Ruin of All Witches by Malcolm Gladwell. He’s a Black Canadian... Read More
What follows is a transcript of an interview conducted by talk radio host James Edwards with Patrick J. Buchanan upon the initial release of his book Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025? We revisit this conversation because the year in question has now arrived, and many of the concerns raised during the... Read More
Jewish writers and leaders were not wrong when they declared that the surprise raid on Israeli territory launched by Hamas on the morning of the 7th of October 2023 changed the direction of world affairs. At first the linguistic elevation of a calendar date into a distinct phrase in the English lexicon seemed melodramatic; “October... Read More
The term “lachrymose” should be in the lexicon of all modern dissidents. According the first entry in my 1984 Webster’s II dictionary, it means, “Weeping, or given to weeping: tearful.” This term gained prominence regarding the Jewish Question in the late 1920s when historian Salo Baron coined the “lachrymose theory” of Jewish history, which describes...

Sir John Major was Conservative Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1990 to 1997, and only ever an interim premier after Margaret Thatcher was ousted. All he is really remembered for is that he signed the Maastricht Treaty, which began Britain’s entry into the EU, and the fact that his father was a circus trapeze-artist.... Read More

What follows is an edited transcript of an interview conducted by talk radio host James Edwards with Patrick J.

When I first wrote about the historians’ reaction to Darryl Cooper’s condemnation of Winston Churchill, I was unaware of Niall Ferguson’s interview with Konstantin Kisin. Ferguson, I knew, particularly objected to Cooper and Carlson’s comments on the present state of Britain, which now contains more than eighteen million occupants of foreign ancestry. In his interview... Read More
Winston Churchill and Neville Chamberlain
In the high summer of 1940, the politicians who comprised the British Government faced a terrible and momentous problem. So, on a personal level, did the new British Prime Minister from May 10th, Winston Churchill. More on this later. At the time, the British Empire is often said to have ruled a quarter of the...

Ahmad Al Khaled sends this information about himself: After a four-year freeze in the conflict established as a result of negotiations between Turkey and Russia, the situation in Syria has changed dramatically. Within ten days of a rapid offensive, the fighters of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group established control over most of the country, forcing... Read More
Voters in Europe and America are like fish in the ocean. They’re utterly ignorant of vast forces shaping their lives. Fish are ignorant of the moon and its control over the tides. Voters in Europe and America are ignorant of the Jews and their control over politics. For example, in Britain the acronyms LFI and... Read More
These latest shocking immigration figures (see the Daily Telegraph report below) and the huge cost burden on Britain’s economy, built up after 14 years of Conservative Party rule. The pro-Tory Party media assert “It might have been even worse had Labour been in power for the past 14 years”. But that is speculation. The fact... Read More
Deborah Lipstadt, who is firmly on the left and got in trouble by her past statements on Republicans during her confirmation hearing, is confident that the Trump 2.0 will be good for the Jews and she is probably right. “Lipstadt’s recent insistence that the incoming Trump administration will be well-equipped to handle antisemitism is a...

Dugin explores the importance of Trump’s re-election as signaling a turning point in Western history. Liberalism did indeed win the battle with a particular example of nationalism in 1945—an explicitly stated racial nationalism. But racial nationalism lives on in many countries, at least implicitly, and often with an ideology that the territory belongs to a... Read More

All is lost. Western Civilization is over. There is no point in fighting against it. Embrace defeat. This was the thesis of an article published here on The Occidental Observer this weekend. The writer argued that fighting for the future of our race was pointless, because it would accomplish nothing and only lead to personal... Read More
For over a hundred years — since Benito Mussolini came to power in October 1922 — the holy alliance of socialists, communists, liberals, masons and progressives of all stripes has been endlessly repeating that nationalism, fascism and national-socialism were backward-looking, regressive regimes that severely oppressed the European population and particularly the fairer sex. If we... Read More
Roberts, Hanson and Ferguson
When Tucker Carlson and Darryl Cooper discussed the Second World War in September, Cooper named Winston Churchill as the “chief villain”, condemned the legacy of the war and attributed the present state of Britain to it. Pro-Churchill historians reacted: Niall Ferguson and Victor Davis Hanson (and the author and columnist Sohrab Amari) at Bari Weiss’... Read More
“Ajax are the Spurs of Holland.” Millions of expert English-speakers will be baffled by that short sentence. It’s a linguistic iceberg, with the words as the tip of the berg riding on a submerged mass of implicit culture. If you’re baffled by it yourself, the sentence means that the soccer-club Ajax (EYE-acks) in Amsterdam are... Read More
The Rubik’s Cube, like the chess board, can be counterintuitive to the noninitiated. A cube finished on one face seems closer to solution than one all mixed up, but cursory study of the many solution algorithms online teaches the opposite. With fixation on the facade, one misses more significant action elsewhere. Often, the creation of... Read More
I first titled this writing “Thoughts on the Presidential Election” but immediately realized I didn’t need the word “Presidential.” What other election is there? Come to think of it, that gets at the main point of this piece: to my way of thinking, this presidential election was far too big a show — to the... Read More
