VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow writes: We’re once again cross-posting Occidental Dissent’s Hunter Wallace, this time his powerful speech to the 20th Anniversary Celebration for James Edwards’ The Political Cesspool radio show. Wallace very kindly gives me, the great Pat Buchanan and several other VDARE.com writers credit for inspiring and informing him politically over the last... Read More

[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com] My acquaintance with CPAC [Conservative Political Action Conference] has been minimal. I attended the February 2012 CPAC in Washington, D.C. and gave a speech there. You can find the speech archived for posterity here: Will Our Multicultural Elites Ever Become Race Realists? That one... Read More
This is the introduction by James Kirkpatrick to the book Esoteric Trumpism, by Constantin von Hoffmeister [Tweet him] available from Arktos Press, reprinted by permission. More than degeneracy, more than decline, the current epoch looked fated to be an Age of Exhaustion. The great danger is not that intellectuals and politicians have given in to... Read More

Over the last several years, I have written reviews of books that have greatly influenced my thinking on race and politics. These include classics such as Paved With Good Intentions, Alien Nation and The Dispossessed Majority. One book that influenced me—though not in the same way as these other books—is not a classic but does... Read More
On MSNBC, far-Left lesbian activist Rachel Maddow just (October 2, 2023) attacked VDARE.com and Editor Peter Brimelow by name. She started out by talking about National Review’s purges, one of which hit Peter Brimelow She showed a screenshot of the SPLC’s (much-later) August 2012 Prominent White Nationalists Fired from National Review. One of the allegedly... Read More
In August of 2020, amidst the Covid Pandemic, I started attending Gordon College—a private non-denominational Christian college in Massachusetts. For a long time, Gordon had heroically defied the Culture Wars. But what I found was that it was now effectively capitulating. The problem: the student body. The school made national headlines in 2014, when it... Read More

Nineteen Eighty-Four style Two-Minute Hates against alleged anti-Semites have become a regular feature of American political discourse. The most recent victim (of all people): Democrat Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Days earlier, Chronicles columnist and acerbic DeSantis influencer Pedro Gonzalez may have survived the publication of private Judeocritical text messages [Rising Conservative Influencer Pedro...

You have to feel sorry, sort of, for GOP presidential candidate Tim Scott, the black senator from South Carolina who was Affirmatively Acted into the Senate by the appalling Nicky Haley in 2013 to replace Jim Demint: his announcement last week was completely stepped on by Ron DeSantis. But Scott boasts the support of many... Read More
[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com] An item much chewed over by commentators recently (here, here, here, here, and here) was a survey of the attitudes Americans hold towards topics like patriotism, religious belief, family life, and so on. The survey was conducted from March 1st to 13th by the... Read More

Earlier by Tom Piatak: Pat Buchanan At 70: "He Told You So, You F****ing Fools!" and Pat Buchanan at 75: Now, More Than Ever, Entitled To Say "I Told You So!" Last Friday, January 20, brought the sad news that Patrick Joseph Francis Buchanan—universally known as “Pat”—had decided to end his column. From any standpoint,... Read More
Rudderless, leaderless, aimless, the American Right has never seemed so utterly impotent—and yet has never had such a glorious opportunity to act on immigration since President Donald Trump missed his chance in 2017. President Joe Biden has made perhaps his greatest mistake by dumping the immigration issue at the Republicans’ feet, at a time when... Read More
Earlier, by Peter Brimelow, 2015: GOP Should "Thank Heaven Fasting" For Trump But Instead Plans To Shoot Self In Testicles The GOP Establishment has fingered a culprit for the disappointing midterm results: Donald Trump. GOP leaders and Conservatism Inc. pundits claim the American people want something different. They insist Trump’s candidates were sure losers and... Read More

The Conservative (“Tory”) Party has been in power in the United Kingdom for 12 years, with a long line of forgettable Prime Ministers surfing over restive voters who demanded Brexit, reduced immigration, and more national sovereignty [How long have the Conservatives been in power and who were the Prime Ministers, by Caroline Westbrook, Metro, October...

Italian voters elected a nationalist coalition led by the Brothers of Italy party on Monday, September 26. Leftists everywhere denounced the party’s leader, Giorgia Meloni, as a “fascist.” Her election win, they said paradoxically, is a grave threat to “democracy.” Even Joe Biden warned of how dangerous it was for the Italian people to vote...

The lady representing the "Spirit of Liberty" above is from Eugene Delacroix's famous picture of France's July Revolution of 1830, not the much worse 1789 French Revolution.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered one of the most powerful speeches of his life recently, and the Leftist Regime Media lost its collective mind. Speaking at a Romanian event, Orbán stressed the importance of race to his version of nationalism, and declared that Hungary must resist becoming a “mixed-race” country. This was no declaration...

It did not dawn on me until I walked out to my mailbox Monday, June 20…and there was no mail. “What’s up?” I thought. “It’s Monday, and I always get mail on Monday, since it piles up on Sunday when there is no delivery.” What had happened, I wondered. Then, I witnessed one of those... Read More
Earlier by Peter Brimelow: “East is East And West is West”: What The Hazony/Brog Heresy Hunt Says About July’s “National Conservative Conference” Israeli Yoram Hazony’s latest National Conservativism Conference a.k.a. the “Gatekeepers Ball” was held in Brussels last week amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Earlier, by Michelle Malkin: America First vs America LAST GOP Last weekend’s AFPAC III was an enormous success. Some 1200 people attended Nick Fuentes’ nationalist alternative to CPAC. Multiple elected officials participated and, although Regime Media journalists were banned because they would have leaked the secret location to Antifa, it drew a large amount of... Read More
The GOP/GAP seems set to retake Congress (although that doesn’t mean it won’t seize defeat from the jaws of victory [Republicans Can Flip Congress in 2022-but GOP Stands in its Own Way, by Jacob Jarvis, Newsweek, November 18, 2021]). But even if the GOP does take the majority, it’s not impossible that it would work... Read More

The judicial lynching of white police officer Kim Potter, in contrast to the complete failure to charge the black cop who killed Ashli Babbitt, is just the latest evidence: for over 60 years, the Historic American Nation has been in a one-sided civil war. Now the U.S. is showing unmistakable signs of morphing into an... Read More

Earlier, by Steve Sailer: David French: If Anti-CRT Laws Pass, The Current Robust Debate Over Race In The Schools Will Be Shut Down There comes a point, and I think we’ve reached it, where we can no longer assume certain Establishment cuckservatives’ supposed “principled” support for Progressive causes is argued in good faith.

Barack Obama claims he can’t believe Republicans have attacked Critical Race Theory, and dismisses their alarm as nothing more than “resentment” over the demographic dispossession of whites. “Lo and behold the single most important issue to [Republicans] apparently right now is Critical Race Theory,” he told CNN’s Anderson Cooper. “Who knew that was the threat...

It’s perhaps fitting that the apparent rout of the “America First Caucus” amid Ruling Class attacks on the “Anglo-Saxon” legacy came on the day of Prince Philip’s funeral and the iconic shot of the black-clad, masked-up Sovereign sitting alone in a nearly empty church [Queen and Royal Family alone but for the gaze of the...

Earlier (July 2019): Will Senator Josh Hawley Be MAGA 2.0? It’s a good sign when the Regime Media have their knives out for one politician. It means they are afraid—in this case, of Missouri’s Senator Josh Hawley. Hawley was one of the few Republican senators who fought for President Trump following the disputed election. However,...

Join the VDARE.com Book Club! My just-posted discussion with John Derbyshire for the VDARE Book Club can be thought of as the completion of a cycle. If we weren’t both mistaken, John Derbyshire coined the term “Dissident Right” and was using it in 2012—which today seems like ancient history. Now, the term has re-emerged as... Read More
South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, the lone black GOP Senator, might be the most insidious Republican in Washington. He’s not as bad on immigration as Lindsey Graham. He’s not as desperate for media adoration as Mitt Romney. And he doesn’t vote with the Democrats as much as Lisa Murkowski. He’s apparently a boilerplate Beltway conservative—except... Read More
Recent disastrous decisions by our “conservative” U.S. Supreme Court shows that, if Ann Coulter’s Adios America! was the most important book of the 2016 election, Christopher Caldwell’s The Age of Entitlement is the most important book of the 2020 cycle. He argues that the new constitution effectively created by the misnamed Civil Rights Act has... Read More

See also: In Memoriam Sam Francis (April 29, 1947—February 15, 2005) Our once-proud country is meekly standing down in the face of rioting mobs, and most of our political and corporate elite are openly siding with the black and radical rabble and against the civilizational inheritance which allows them to function.

The Left/ Main Stream Media know exactly what happened in Richmond on January 20, when tens of thousands of white gun owners assembled in the capital of the Confederacy to defend their Second Amendment rights.

Boris Johnson’s dramatic Brexit election victory is a dramatic demonstration that the Ruling Class hasn’t smothered nationalism in the UK at least. But it’s trying, everywhere.

Will the GOP fight to preserve the Historic American Nation, or will it blithely submit to demographic change? That’s the fundamental question animating the “Groyper Wars” against Conservative Inc.

Southern Poverty Law Center enforcer Michael Edison Hayden (he apparently has an Egyptian mother and an Indian wife, which may explain something) just published an article based on email treacherously leaked by Katie McHugh, a disgruntled ex-Breitbart staffer and former Alt Right groupie, showing that Stephen Miller, Trump's much-hated immigration adviser, reads VDARE.com, which the...

Earlier: Immigration, Not White Suburbs, Turning VA Blue.

I argued for “National Conservatism” in 2014, referring to a specific European tradition that puts the unity and cultural survival of the nation-state first. Put bluntly—the economy exists to serve the nation, not the nation the economy. Of course, I am appalled that the Main Stream Media has finally acknowledged “National Conservatism” at the very...
