The Jews Refused
Comment: It’s always amazing to me that Jews who are otherwise intelligent seriously spout–as if they believe it themselves, not just pushing it as propaganda–a completely cartoon version of Jewish history and “oppression”. European national peoples are all a melange … Continue reading
Alt Right Jews
The Z Blog posts: Anyone who has engaged with Orthodox Jews knows they regard Liberal Jews with a high degree of hostility. They are not as bad as the Hasidim, but they view Reformed Jews as fakers, getting the benefits … Continue reading
James Kirchick: ‘Can American Jews Be White Nationalists?’
I say yes because for many American Jews, their American identity is stronger than their Jewish identity. Also, for many Jews, their European genes outnumber their Middle Eastern genes. Also, many Jews are indistinguishable in appearance from whites. Many Jews … Continue reading
Why Aren’t There Great Jewish Minds Debunking The Alt Right?
The truth about Jews and non-Jews has to be somewhere in between the critics and the advocates. The Alt Right can’t be 100% correct. The Jewish establishment can’t be 100% correct either. I know Kevin MacDonald, Richard Spencer, Andrew Joyce, … Continue reading
How To Live As A Jew

The Joys Of Diversity
Most Orthodox Jews I know prefer to spend most of their spare time with other Orthodox Jews. On the other hand, many of the Orthodox Jews I know prefer to have non-Jews as neighbors because they’re not as nosy. From … Continue reading
John Travolta: “Hollywood controlled by homosexual Jewish men who expect sexual favors in return for career-related ones”
Rachel Shukert writes for Tabletmag in 2012: …the press has been all abuzz over the lawsuit recently slapped on John Travolta by a masseur claiming the star attempted to coerce him into unwanted sexual acts during a session at the … Continue reading
Dissident Dispatches: An Alt-Right Guide to Christian Theology
I just interviewed the author Andrew Fraser by Skype. He’s based in Australia and in July published this new book (reviewed by Roger Devlin). His magnum opus, The WASP Question, came out in 2011. If you read just one of … Continue reading
