Being familiar with the Gulf of Tonkin, the Maine, and WMD, among other Current Thing scams, I’m having a hard time getting real worked up about a balloon. That’s the best they can come up with now? A balloon? Talk about decline. Their scams used to be more audacious.

Those Jerry Brown-Bill Clinton debates were fantastic. Brown had Clinton on the ropes, until he was told to step back.

Thanks for this, I’m always very curious how actual European eyes see what is happening in the States as I realize most of our cousins across the pond have a very different take. 👍

If protectionism is so effective why is France such a dump? Operation Sentinelle is still underway. If protectionism is part of a confident and productive culture then your country will thrive but if it’s a vain attempt to shield your decrepit tribe from a vigorous foreign culture then you will fall . France is an example of this.

Bienvenue mon ami!

The trick was moving most workers into the service and financial economy, and then dangling the carrot of cheaper sh!t in front of them.

No the first step is to talk about your own red pill ingestion. These are our stories of awakening.My first was only a partial pill. I kept wondering why Republicans kept trotting out such mediocrities. The first Bush. Dole. Bush II. McCain. Huh?I got another partial dose when Bush II won his second term and had the house and the senate. Here we go. Conservative heaven. But nope. We got another entitlement (prescription drug), more centralization of education, a rules of engagement war in the middle east that put the bravest Americans in unnecessary risk, and the looting of America through financial collapse.Another partial red pill happened every time we had to raise the debt ceiling. Each episode was like the movie Groundhog Day. The government would start by laying off nonessential workers. This meant that they got paid leave, usually around Christmas, while the rst of us had to work for a living. Depressed within interview these beleaguered bureaucrats. The bureaucrats would wonder how they were going to buy their kids Christmas presents. Not once did anyone ask why we needed nonessential workers in the first place. When I heard about the need for an agreement to raise the debt ceiling, I assumed we had this awesome lever to roll back big government hard.I also wondered why we decided to start importing so many Muslims after 911.My final dose of red pill came when Trump swept in the office. I voted for Trump because I agreed with every one of his policies that he ran on. I thought he was a blowhard flamethrower, but that was better than the milquetoasts we had gotten. And he got both the House and the Senate. I thought, oh boy, we’re gonna build a wall. We’re gonna stop all the crazy outsourcing to China. We’re going to bring our troops home for the Middle East. We’re going to repeal and replace Obamacare.That’s when I woke up. Now, it is hard for me to see why so many are on the other side of the great divide. Things are much worse than ever. We want to defend the sacred borders of Ukraine and have no border at all for ourselves. We’re printing more money than ever and taxing the middle class in the blue-collar workers with crazy inflation. We’re risking nuclear war over nothing. Depressed has become a propaganda organ. Free speech is under attack. Show trial a plenty. Non-sense like gender confusion is called science. We worship a race of stupid violent people whose greatest contribution to culture is gangsta rap. Both courses of reasonable opposition to violent stupid people are illegal: not associating with them or throwing them in jail.

Fun fact: Milton was president of Penn State and is the reason University Park has its own zip code iirc.

Okay, let’s play that game. You are fine with it happening to Buchanan because you feel he deserved it, but if he and his church had won would it have been equally fine? Is discrimination acceptable when it’s the revenge of a group you feel is oppressed? It seems to me that it should be all or none, but many people, in this modern age, feel like they are qualified to determine who it is acceptable to oppress.

When you own the media you can get away with pretty much anything

Out went the factories, in came the opiods and the meth. And right on the heels of Reagan’s Big Amnesty. Whether or not there was some master plan to this assault on heartland white America, it couldn’t have worked much better if there had been.The other day I saw a heat map of opiod overdose deaths over the years and it was concentrated most heavily in Appalachia and Missouri/Ozarks. And I thought about not just how many died, but about the offspring they might have had, the lives they might otherwise have led.I’m pretty sure the reason some places had lots of pill mills and others had few or none wasn’t just random.

The Miami of the Jackie Gleason era was a different world. There a a few big cities that today young people consider desirable places to live. Two that I hear a lot about are Nashville and Austin. It won’t be long before diversity gets to those cities.

I don’t think the white flight north to Broward and Palm Beach Counties really hit full steam until the 1980s. On the heels of the Mariel boatlift. Now Broward is steadily going the same way as Dade and you’re even starting to see a few Cubans up in Boca Raton.

I like to watch the old video from Procol Harum Whiter Shade of Pale. It’s interest and sad to see all the footage of an old London that will never be again.

What is the better chance of being arrested: exposing yourself during a music performance, in any big city. Or, exposing your political or social views, especially regarding certain minorities. Not that I’m encouraging racisms on stage, but let’s say I’d rather hear Kramer shout the N-word, than see his penis.

It is seriously depressing. I was actually -IN- Miami not long ago and was driving through it circa 2023. When I got back to my hotel a documentary came on talking about how the city came to be and some deep history. Seeing that place in the 50s and 60s with all the golden haired blondes walking around and 90% white and then looking out my window at the barrio and the graffiti and the Cubana music blaring. Jesus, what a difference.

How about :“There are only two groups that are beating the drums . . . for war in the Middle East—the Israeli Defense Ministry and its amen corner in the United States.”

It is doomed to fail in the natural cycles of nations and civilizations. The problem with what the current crop of failures have done, is to do their best to ensure that the people of the homeland won’t be there to rebuild it and start a new cycle.I think that is the project that Z-Man is advocating for. I also think that is the crux of the debate between Anton and Z-Man. Anton doesn’t think that a people make a nation. He thinks the ideological abstractions make it. He thinks if the abstraction is gone the nation is gone. There may be some truth to that in the sense that a given order or form will be gone or altered. Z-Man is saying the people are the nation. The people are the natural preservationists of the nation and its ideals – they embody them by nature. The form followed the nature of the people who created it. If the ideological abstraction fails to serve the nation or the people, then what has precedence is the preservation of the people, not the ideological abstraction.Anton further refuses to acknowledge that the ideological abstraction he places before the people has long since been replaced by other ideological abstractions. Natural rights were long ago replaced with Positive Rights. Since those rights don’t come from nature, they are gone when they are gone when citizens minds are replaced by the minds of border inhabitants.Anton may still hold the abstractions in his mind, but the regime replaced that abstraction and then embarked upon replacing the people. Z-Man further argues that you must look to reality to see if the ideological abstraction is preserved if you replace the people. It seems that what we are dealing with is that both the abstraction and the people have been replaced – the former completely the latter a work in progress.Pat Buchanan saw that as clear as day and said so plainly and clearly. Watching that video I wept when he spoke about the small town Americans decimated by globalism and off-shoring. You could feel his genuine sorrow and love of the people of the countryside. You could feel it too in his recounting of the restoration of LA in the face of the riots. He clearly said it was cultural. To see a man who clearly loved the people and the nation speak like that with hope is a bitter sorrow.We should never forget that such a man who loved his people and his country would be so callously and viciously attacked by the lizards. We should not let hate and anger consume us, but we should hold a healthy hate and contempt for those who did what they did to Buchanan and the paleos. For what they did to Pat Buchanan they did to our country and they did to us – with plans for much worse to come. We must hold onto that contempt but not be blinded by it. Rather we must hold it to remind us who we are dealing with and what must be done to overcome their misanthropic contempt for us.With the country gone, to what do we attach our hearts? I weep as I write this. It is a brutal and terrible crime that has been done against us. It broke Buchanan’s heart. But, there is no time for weeping. As surely and in the same cold-blooded psychopathy as the abstractions and then the nation were eradicated our people are being eradicated too.Therein is our answer to what do we attach our hearts to now that our nation is gone? Our hearts must follow the heart of Pat Buchanan. They must be attached with a deep affection to the primordial bond of blood to our people. That is the only way we are going to survive in any way that is meaningful and that has any hope of honoring the ancestors who survived so much to get us here, and for our people who will survive us into the future.

Jeffrey One has to have a soul to feel a sense of shame. There in lies Slick Willies problem.

PJB was a brave man. He swam against the tide in the Fall of 1990 as the propaganda was being ramped up for the first Gulf War. When he said “the only two groups beating the drums for war in the Middle East were “the Israeli Defense Ministry and its amen corner in the United States”, he earned the forever hate of the chosen with that statement.

“we already knew it was lost” Thermopylae, then and today.

” The time was out of joint after 9-11″ So it served its purpose.

Yep, Lenora Fulani and the Reform Party debacle was Pat’s biggest mistake. I can understand why he would want to abandon the vehicle of the Republican Party, but the Reform Party thing was a disaster.

Wow! Thank you for sharing that with us. It is greatly appreciated.

Civil war may indeed by necessary. But there is one other possibility. As AINO collapses under the weight of its own irrationality, and as its power wanes both domestically and abroad, centrifugal forces will be unleashed that allow outlying regions–primarily the mountain west–to become de facto independent territories. If I am right, we won’t have to wade through rivers of blood, we’ll just have to keep our heads above water until AINO dies of exhaustion.

You might try William Henley’s “Invictus”.

Mike…..spot on man! A profound observation I have copied and saved. Z–thank you! The overlords have destroyed the rules based society. There are no rules but theirs in an ever shifting quicksand. A majority of people are insane, mass formation, drugged, sated, driven to distraction, neuronal highways destroyed, IQ falling. The rulers will never let us go no matter what happens to them. They are Insane! Demented! Lust for chaos and destruction. The family in Enoch, Utah that was murdered by the insane father-5 kids, mother, step-mother, murdered by the father who then shot himself, that family was 5 miles up the road north of me. The evil destruction is sweeping everywhere. Here, children now look at their fathers and ask mommy Is Daddy going to kill us like the Enoch daddy? A good chunk of Mormons are on SSRI’s and anxiety meds. How many of you have tranny kids or grandkids? One granddaughter has gone full tranny. Mormon friend has 2 tranny and furry grandkids. I didn’t have the heart to tell her what furries are up to. She’d melt. We either fight our way out or just bend the knee. They are too rage filled to let us go.

You also don’t want your tombstone to read “He died in prison.” I agree that we should not obey the perverts and the sodomites, but it’s crucially important to understand that GloboHomoZio will not hesitate to make an example out of you.

I came of age in the 1980s in a place in the American South that probably wasn’t much different from what most of America had been like during the post war golden age. It was a great time and place to grow up. Even so, even there, by the time I was in my 30s I began to see that this was no longer the country they told me it was when I was growing up. And that was about 20 years ago. Never mind what all has happened since.So I don’t have much empathy for civnats who think it’s always 1985 and everything can be set right if they just vote harder. It seems like a product of willful blindness or stupidity.

I remember some of that race, and the media blitz was unbelievable. All the pundits on both the left and right joined forces to crush him. There wasn’t enough seething hatred in the working class yet, and there were no open forums like 2016 Twitter to fight back, and he lost.

They did. We couldn’t even get in touch with local GOP chairs and county commissioners in South Carolina, where we thought we had the best shot and the most receptive audience. It was like coming up against an Eastern Bloc apparatus. Few wanted anything to do with Buchanan, because they were ordered by the RNC to shut us out.That’s when Pat realized that his Silent Generation’s trust in the Republican Party was misplaced, and led to his Reform Party dalliance. Pat was a writer and orator, not a party-builder, and the results were a disaster for everyone involved. In 2000, when he allowed the LaRouchites and Lenori Fulani to tag in, he was finished.

(the important part of that speech starts at 24:19; it’s still chilling)

Pat watched in horror at the J6 incident. Normally I would write any writer off then and there, but I’ll make an exception for him. He loved old Americana, and I can sympathize with an 80 year old man who just can’t let it go.

The highest point of American civilization was between 1945 and 1965. Those marvelous, beautiful halcyon days are never coming back. The reason is that the intellectual, physical, spiritual and racial components that made that civilization no longer exist in the quantities needed to reconstruct it. It only survives in the pages of books and in the memories of old men.

Buchanan is Cato the YoungerA conservative who railed against the corruption of his day, trying to save the Late Republic.A proud but ultimately tragic figure who held to his principals but failed.

Pat was the first one I remember, outside of Rockwell and the JBS, bring up the fact that the tiny hats were guiding most of our foreign policy. I kept waiting for them to find a dead hooker in his hotel or something. That was back before Hillarycide became popular.

Mercouris is far too optimistic about the US. Both Alexes are mostly in denial we’re on the road to nuclear holocaust.

I’m not sure how one like Duran can possibly believe this. Take away the politics one still has to look at the cultural make up of our own people and realize they are a far cry from principled or decent living folks. So many are micro managed by pot, prescription pills living in non traditional lifestyles all the while living in skins 30% covered in ink.We ain’t going back without radical change and salvation.

If those two ever met, the oratorical firepower assembled there would have been staggering.

“Pat Buchanan was right!”

Pat used to get together with Sam Francis regularly for dinner, plotting strategy for Pat’s presidential campaigns, where they would talk about appealing to Middle America.

Enoch Powell was one of the finest products of English culture ever to walk the planet, the youngest person to make professor since Medieval times and the youngest to make brigadier-general, a man with an incredible range of skills, competency and dedication, seeped in the best education the world has seen before or since.But Enoch could not drive a car. He complained about military trucks that you only had to take your hands off the wheels for a few moments for them to go about their own way. He once managed to crash four times on a road trip from London to Edinburg.When the British government, sometimes in the sixties, invented the driver’s license, Powell failed spectacularly. He indignantly blamed the “disgraceful cowardice” of the gentleman from the ministry of traffic.

McCleod, I fled San Fran long after your Dad fled CA. It sounds like he was part of the first wave of CA emigrants in the early 80s, who were the first to recognize which way the wind was blowing. If someone would have asked your Dad, shortly after he left, why he left, what would he have said?

> He just can’t wrap his brain around the concept that they aren’t stupid, and that they are doing what they are doing with the intention to cause destruction. This thinking is endemic among Boomers and the remaining Silents. Their unwillingness to call evil “evil” is a huge impediment to any change for the better. The older generations are more conservative on average and certainly more competent than the younger generations. The world will lose a lot when they pass, but that faulty threat recognition needs to be purged from the populace before we can begin to heal society.

Like a lot of GenX I’ve met, I was born in CA and my parents moved us out while I was young. When I see old pictures, I recognize it as home. When I’ve visited, I don’t.First time, when I was about 20, a friend invited my band along on his band’s west coast tour. Several venues, mostly in CA, demanded we send ahead our songs’ lyrics, to be judged for political acceptability. Our songs didn’t have lyrics. One place refused us based on a song title. Old punks know which place. The “tranny janny” school of wokeness was born there.Nobody hates Californians enough.

Boomer stuff seems lame to me. Like, how many times do we need to hear the same rock songs? Like cool, dude, you got really drunk in 1972 and saw Joan Jett. Even the way they dress, the way they talk is lame.They’re huge pussies for the most part. Now they’re killing themselves in Canada as soon as they get a cancer diagnosis. And fuck their social liberalism too.I don’t feel sad about what’s been lost from the Boomers until now – nothing was lost, that’s just changing demographics. We lost alot between pre-Boomer centuries during the Boomer reign, leading up to now.Dont cry about the past, look to the future. Embrace the future. Use knowledge from the past to shape the future.

What I despise about the Boomer is that they could be instrumental in helping the DR. They have money and they don’t have to worry about losing their jobs by publicly supporting our causes.Some are retired lawyers who could set organizations to sue companies and other organizations for discrimination. Sure they’d lose, but they’d put a spotlight on Jim Snow laws.Some are retired real estate guys who could help us start developing our own neighborhoods.Some know local politics and could help our people start to gain local footholds.Etc.But they don’t. They put their heads in the sand, live in gated communities and tell young whites to “buck up” like they did.That’s why I despise Boomers.

i don’t think boomers feel defeated at all. it’s not a defining characteristic. just the opposite in fact. not defending or praising them, just don’t think they are as you say.

Was the Boomer life really that good? If they were really happy, it seems like drugs, degeneracy and hedonism wouldnt have had such an allure. They destroyed their own way of life which, to me, suggests that they were not very happy in the first place.

I’ve been watching a lot ofPerry Masonon Pluto TV recently and I know what you mean. Yes, there was degenerate rot going on in places like Hollywood, but in the main it appears as a highly functional, truly progressive, socially cohesive world. A white world.I grew up in the Reagan era and while it wasn’t nearly as clean cut, it was still cohesive and, perhaps more so than the 50’s/early 60’s, people were generally upbeat and positive. That can’t be underestimated.While none of that is going to “come back” we also shouldn’t let those memories die. We owe it to those who will steer the next phase.

A bit off topic but does anyone know a good source for, and a good way to play, dissident audiobooks? I’m getting slowly back in shape and one thing I do to burn some calories is listen to audiobooks on the treadmill. I have this app called Libby that allows you to take books out from the local libraries and listen to them but something tells me they’re not going to offer the books you mentioned.

Pat is interviewed about that book at:https://www.c-span.org/video/?302026-1/after-words-pat-buchanan#
