Some books I’ve read recently that are worth mentioning: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen A free ebook on my Kindle reader. It was pretty good, good character development, not a complex plot, but its worth reading. I enjoyed it more than Wuthering Heights (Emily Bronte). Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott Pretty good, Scott is, […]

Well, the fight over the Battle Flag has been lost, even the League of the South has “removed” the flag from it’s public demonstrations, “Do not bring flags or signs – we will provide these.” The flag they are providing is their new “Southern activist flag” Kanye West is now the only one to fly […]
Occidental Dissent Since the 18th century Enlightenment, the West has made an idol of liberal democracy. It has in effect become the political default position of most Westerners, including most Americans. We accept it as “right” without critical examination. In fact, I don’t think it incorrect to say that liberal democracy has become our civic […]
From Blood and Soil Libertarianism has been riding high the last couple of decades with popularity of political candidates like Ron Paul and websites like lewrockwell.com.

Dr. Michael Hill’s speech at the 2013 League of the South conference via Occidental Dissent.
The dispute over interpretation of the Constitution is based on political philosophy, but political philosophy is itself based on something else. Look at this map, Look at who doesn’t claim hyphenated American ancestry, the South. The reason for this is (drum roll) immigration. Most immigration from independence until the 20th century went to the north […]
I’m reading about Scottish immigration to the Antebellum South and I came across this page with this quote that I though worth sharing: ” Highlanders were suspicious of the road construction – seeing it as a government intrusion on their lives.” To put it into perspective, the period he’s referring to was one of major social change and urbanisation. Highland dress was outlawed, estates were forfeited and the government, generally, was […]

Some US migration numbers have come to my attention, they’re from ’07. 71.4% of North carolina’s population was born here, only Texas is “stickier” than we are. This is of course means that we are breeding our own liberals rather than them coming from outside. Of course, Pew also says 39.9% have moved in, so […]

Tim Manning posted on Facebook that his house was raided on May 1. The story seems to have made it around the ‘net a bit.

Of course, he overlooks the extreme violence that would follow. I guess in his world everybody just obeys. here’s some […]
The very first firefight between government agents and American private citizens will be the ignition point of an all consuming maelstrom that will inundate the nation and render null and void any chance that America might reconstitute itself into its former image afterwards.

You can tell a lot about a person by what they’re against. For instance, progressive are against what they call patriarchal society and religious discrimination. What they’re really […]
