Michael Hudson has a newish article that dovetails well with my last column about Murikan usury. It’s not a solution for Murikans – and they don’t want one yet – but it is for the rest of the world, what, in fact, they’re already doing. BRICS+ is just one of the new mechanisms allowing the sovereign peoples to break free of the West.

In Murikan, da Murikans still keep on … being themselves. Pedro Gonzalez offers some much needed advice about the real solution to the problems afflicting the US of A.

I’m convinced that the only meaningful thing that people can do right now is focus on building a foundation for themselves in something that is not political, something that is not connected to the success of a political movement or political personalities, because these things are ephemeral, these things will pass away, and you will be left with yourself and your conscience in the end.

I would suggest that instead of playing the idiotic political and economic games rigged up by satanists who hate people, Americans should focus on building families and a return to legitimate Christianity. They have nothing (else) to lose, and everything to gain (back).

The United States of Usury

 

Every once in a while, one hears something about cherished, if undefined, “American values.” I’ve looked into them and I can now define the primary three. They happen to coincide almost perfectly with Evangelical ”Christian” Zionist values and the values of the fallen, post-Enlightenment West. They are usury, sodomy, and genocide. These values overlap and work together. Herein, I briefly examine the first value, usury, with further commentary on the others to follow. But first! A joke. In perhaps a world first, a passing whale in Florida called emergency services to report seeing a beached Randy Fine. And now…

It took me a long time to realize the truth about the country I grew up in and used to love. Both the essence and the official history of America is largely a matter of intentionally contrived falsehood. The immediate post-peak America I grew up in was mostly a pleasant but dishonest veneer—a facade now completely fallen away. Very little about what we’ve been told about the American experiment is accurate, much of it being maliciously misleading. Books like Nonsense of Stilts by Paul Graham and The Nation That Never Was by Kermit Roosevelt III are, in fact, revisionist histories. They revise the historical record so as to make it truthful.

Professor Michael Hudson perhaps best summed up the first American value, usury, as it relates to the country as a whole, when he essentially said that America, like all Western, post-Enlightenment nation-states, is little more than an agent for the international financial class. It is, and it always has been that way. 

English America’s history began in earnest on April 10, 1606, at Westminster, London, with the chartering of the Virginia Company of London. The Company was essentially a hedge fund that operated in a way equivalent to modern ventures. All risks and costs were borne by the people and all the profits went to the shareholders. Then, the formula was simple: kill or push back the native American Indians, loot everything for profit, manipulate English law as needed to maximize profit, and run the whole scheme with slave labor, at first using poor English and Welsh servants, then Polish and other European thralls, followed by African chattel slaves. While the names and parameters have changed, four hundred years later, the plan is still operational, though now on a global scale. The patterns established in early colonial America were applied against Russia and Ukraine beginning in the 1990s. On the back of US imperial meddling, banks and funds rushed in, stole what they could, and worked with Washington to conquer, enslave, loot, and destroy. Thankfully, the general wickedness met a roadblock. I consider that if the Native Americans had had Russian weapons, then I would be writing from the Catawba Nation. I’d probably be writing about something else entirely. 

Almost everything in American civic life revolves around usury and profit for the satanic international elites. The once-sovereign Dollar was replaced by pure usury or super usury, a unique arrangement whereby money is nonexistent and what passes for money is utterly under the control of the commercial banks. They conjure it, via fake loans, out of nothing and for free, and the people, literally sacrificing their lives, work like slaves to repay it. This evil system, in direct contradiction of the commandments of Almighty God and Jesus Christ, channels all value and ownership into the clawed hands of the elites. 

The effects of the mass financialization are, as I have noted time and again, ruinous for the people. By design, and as compared to large ticket items (houses, education, healthcare, etc.), salaried purchasing power has declined by over ninety percent since 1950. That means that, on average, in order to live as his grandfather did, the modern American man would have to work ten full-time jobs. As an elementary math student from the near past could tell one, there is a problem with that situation. Along with other factors, most of them related to the elements of sodomy and genocide, the loss of purchasing power is one of the key reasons why young Americans do not date, marry, or have children. Super usury is dysgenic and dyscivilizational. 

Americans tolerate this evil for a variety of reasons, including hopelessness, insanity, stupidity, and sheer wickedness. Rather than hunt down and slaughter the relatively small cadre of their oppressors, they continue to go along with the plan, many of them still happily participating in the failed, fake, and dead institution of democracy. Many of them will continue to do this until the final collapse.

The rest of humanity should continue doing what they are doing now—moving onwards and forward, away from the debased evil of the West. They should also memorialize the lessons of the Enlightenment as a warning for the future. Learn from it, but do not trust or emulate it! In this monetary case, they should lock money and banking tightly under sovereign control and strictly prohibit any form of usury. They’re already doing it, so this is somewhat superfluous, but they also need to do whatever is necessary to keep the dying rabid dog of America and the West at bay until the beast ceases to be of any threat. Even if it is never reborn in its homelands, the spirit of the original West will live on in other civilized, sovereign cultures. That is a great hope and reassurance of this age!

Deo vindice.

A Pleasant Unscripted Ramblin’

 

Who, really, doesn’t love a good, old-fashioned gibbering about nothing in particular? Well, love it or not, like it or not, it’s all I have this week. I had high hopes for this one, but sometimes we must settle. 

I started a draft about Russia banning the de facto national religion of the GAE, but then I thought, “Why bother?” Indeed.

The late political circus idiocy of the former US is of little interest to me. So there was nothing there. I mean, it’s over, folks. Maybe it’s not time to move on just yet, but it’s probably a good time to start packing.

It’s hot as blazes this summer. But that’s most summers down here. The heat zaps a certain degree of my creativity, though I try to make up for it in other ways. Results vary. Et cetera. While great commercial success still eludes me, Judging Athena has turned into my first critically acclaimed and award-winning book. Thanks, readers and reviewers! The manuscript of AURELIUS, Tom Ironsides’s next hard-charging action novella is with Green Altar Books now. So there’s that. Once the heat and my mind settle a bit, I’ll be polishing the next literary installment and working on the drafts behind it. Due time, due time.

Rumor has it that children in Gaza took a break from starving to death to raise funds to buy some SlimFast for Randy Fine.

Generation X, I have some great news for you! I’ve been most privileged to read the first installment of a new American epic that will debut in January, Bodaciously True & Totally Awesome, Episode One: Bad Boy by Chris Orcutt. In fact, all American generations are in for a treat: a literal time warp back to the middle of the 1980s. It’s almost indescribably good. Much more on that soon.

As for other summer reading, I’ve done my usual. Some of it was great, some less so. A few reviews will be forthcoming. Right now, among several others, two notable novels I’m working on are The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates and The Thorn and the Carnation by Martyr Yahya Sinwar. Both show great promise.

While one is never quite certain about these things, I fear I will miss the end-of-summer and fall fun up at the world’s greatest amusement park, Tweetsie Railroad. Of course, that doesn’t mean you have to. In August, kids of all ages will delight in The Ghost Riders in the Sky and Railroad Heritage Weekend. Come the middle of September, the Ghost Train starts those spooky night runs. All that is in addition to the usual merriment. 

And … that’s all I gotz. More and better soon. Quality will improve tomorrow. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!

Deo vindice.

For the life of me, I could not generate even the shortest column last week or this past weekend. Something will come along soon enough. Been busy. But here are a few related items that I could have otherwise hurled over to the Blog Extension at Telegram.

The current official death toll in the Gazacaust is around 60,000. Or, including all of the official missing persons, who are assuredly dead, it’s about 75,000. That’s terrible. But MOA calculates, as others do, that the official count is an undercount.

[MOA] headlined:

Trump Wants To Take Over Gaza, Announces 500,000 Dead

In 2023 the internationally acknowledged Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics’ count of the population of Gaza was standing at 2,226,544. Trump wants to remove all Palestinians from Gaza and gives their number as 1.7 or 1.8 million:

Reporter: How many people are you thinking need to leave Gaza?
Trump: “All of them. Probably a million seven, maybe a million eight. They’ll be settled in areas where they can live a beautiful life.” (video)
This is an acknowledgement, by the president of the United States, that the genocidal Zionists have murdered up to 500,000 people in Gaza.

Steven Donziger’s calculations now confirm that range.

SHOCK: Israel Has Killed 20.7% of Gaza’s Population. That’s 434,000 People. – Donziger on Justice, Jul 22 2025

Here is the latest data, updated as of yesterday (July 21): based on a statistical model developed by a prestigious medical journal called The Lancet, Israel has killed roughly 434,800 people in Gaza since the country’s military started to attack the territory on 8 October 2023. That’s 20.7% of Gaza’s entire pre-conflict population dead. Over half are women and children.

If the same level of killing and indirect death that took place in Gaza during the 594 days of the conflict happened in the United States proportional to population, roughly 70 million Americans would have been killed.

It could be even worse than that now that mass weaponized starvation sets in.

For those with Telegram, here is one small victim. (Disturbing image)

Another.

100,000 more child deaths may be imminent.

Believe it or not, some “people” are okay with the carnage, even encouraging it. The enormously fat and insidiously wicked Randy Fine is one of them. I wonder how long it would take him, under similar circumstances, to waste away like the child victims above.

Like it or not, Amerika, this evil is in large part on you.

Having resolved the Epstein conspiracy once and forever (FORGET IT!), the wise and benevolent Trump has released 230K documents related to the assassination of Dr. King. THE DOCS.

I mean, if THIS doesn’t clear it up, then nothing will!

Professor Dugin reposted my review of his Dasha’s striking little diary compilation. God bless the Dugins! Please read the whole review on Alexander Dugin’s Substack!

Dugina, Daria, For A Radical Life: Meditations By Daria Platonova Dugina, Tucson: PRAV, 2024. https://pravpublishing.com/product/for-a-radical-life/

Last fall, I had the privilege of reviewing Eschatological Optimism by the late Daria Dugina (1992-2022), a book I learned of thanks to a very good friend. Earlier this year, I was reminded by another great and lovely friend that a second posthumous Dugina book was forthcoming in English from PRAV. One simply cannot have enough literarily in-tune friends in this life. Nor can one get enough of Russia’s brilliant and ever-rising star of intellect and steely determination.

It’s a shorter work, only 70 pages. Yet each and every sentence in it, every word lifts the spirit, touches the heart, and engages the mind. It is a compact gem, expertly translated, compiled, and edited by Jafe Arnold and John Stachelski. I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in life, death, philosophy, and the eternal battle between Divine good and lowly evil. I also suggest the book would make a fine gift for, say, a college student or a young adult. Or for anyone.

In his very direct review, Walt Garlington is overly kind and beautifully descriptive.

Southern novels for many years have been heavily marked by violence and cursing.  This story is refreshingly different.  One is able to enjoy mundane things like the taste of pancakes, or walk amongst the summits of Orthodox theology, showing how husbands and wives contribute to the salvation of one another, without unnecessary shocks to the soul.

Returning to Mr Poe, his combination of melancholy and beauty is one of his most powerful contributions to literature.  Mr Lovett’s use of this device elevates it to new heights at the end of his story:  The tragic beauty of those scenes sears the heart with descriptions that the reader will not soon forget.

Judging Athena is a truly redemptive and rewarding novel to read.  We recommend it to all.

Please read the whole thing at Confiteri. Thanks, Walt!

ICON by Georgia Briggs

A Review by Perrin Lovett

 

Today, my friends, we owe a debt of gratitude to the wonderful Matushka Emma Cazabonne for recommending I read a relatively new novel by a talented young Southern author. (Thanks, Emma!) The book is a new take on an old story, or, rather, an old and persistent threat to civilizational states, especially those grounded in Christianity. It is a somewhat disturbing look at an alternative contemporary or near-future Alabama and America. 

(Cover and interior artwork by the author.)

*Briggs, Georgia, Icon, Chesterton: Ancient Faith Publishing, 2017.

Icon, by Alabama author Georgia Briggs, is a stirring dystopian story told from an explicitly Orthodox Christian point of view. Briggs succeeds brilliantly in melding her faith with her genre. If I am not mistaken, this was her first novel, ergo, her success is an amazing achievement and a great testament to her ability. Icon is available from the Ancient Faith Store and Amazon. Also, please visit Briggs at her website. 

In Icon, young Euphrosyne learns that an innocent mistake at school quickly leads to death, oppression, and terror. Some might find the plot initially confusing, especially since it unfolds in the new and grand “Era of Tolerance”. However, others will wisely recall that tolerance was one of the chief sins of King Jeroboam. 

Euphrosyne, her family, and her friends find themselves living in an occupied state that tolerates everything … except Christianity. Clinging to tradition in this new age results in brutal and relentless intolerance. Briggs does a fine and fascinating job portraying how the repression transpires and how it affects those caught in the crosshairs. That she does this so convincingly from the primary perspective of a twelve-year-old girl is very impressive. But the choice of Euphrosyne’s eyes should not necessarily be surprising because, while all people suffer under tyranny, perhaps none are so afflicted as children. The real world gives us constant, daily reminders of that sad fact for those willing to see them.

I will leave the hows and whys behind the rise of Brigg’s draconic fool’s paradise for the discovery of the reader—and the reader will thoroughly enjoy the journey of revelation. Yet I will say I thought Briggs’s moniker for those in control of the new Alabama and new America was a poignant bit of genius. She took an old and famous name from America’s nineteenth-century transcendent enlightenment and progressed it forward to a fanciful but very natural and plausible zenith.

Plausibility. Interestingly, Briggs wrote Icon in 2017, eight years before I read it. Those eight years have been packed with incidents and trends that should have dropped the veils or blinders from many American and Western eyes. In short, only the truly blind (or the complicit) do not, at this point in our history, begin to at least suspect that something has gone very wrong. A century before Briggs’s pen crafted her tale so artfully, J.B. Bury was busy lauding what he thought were the then-present achievements of the Enlightenment and the coming golden age of free thinking and tolerance, the triumph over Christianity and tradition. See A History of Freedom of Thought (1913). As the entirety of the Enlightenment was a lie and a rank inversion, things didn’t work out exactly as promised. Instead of a peaceful, happy Shangri-la, today’s America sees Christians beaten and imprisoned for praying in public. America openly and even proudly supports, funds, and participates in war and genocide against multiple parties of the innocent around the world, a sizeable portion of them Christians. It is not too far a stretch, certainly within fiction, to foresee an America that openly exterminates Christians.

In addition to a moving, alarming story of warning, Briggs also provides an antidote. At certain points in Icon, particularly at the end, I found myself silently hoping for stern physical retaliation from the oppressed or liberating action from outside parties. I will divulge that as the Orthodox Believers of Alabama are hunted, Russian Spetsnaz troops do not arrive to save the day. But Briggs had a far better idea. Someone does show up at the end, and there is no earthly substitute for the deliverance and compassion he brings to Euphrosyne. It is a miracle in a book full of miracles. Just when all feels lost, the young protagonist wins the ultimate fight, via her Christian faith and her acknowledged (if not so-named) eschatological optimism. “[Y]ou lived well,” she is told. Indeed, she survives in glory and learns the true meaning behind Jesus’s reassurance when He said, “If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated Me before you. …[B]ut I have chosen you out of the world…” John 15:18-19. 

Briggs salvages eternal beauty out of tragedy and perfidious horror. Her plot, purpose, scenes, and settings are vivid, valid, and believable. Her characters bring to life the best and worst of human behavior and capability. As for the good potential within Christians, she delivers with convincing eloquence stern adherents to our faith who are, despite all else, joyous, reflective, defiant, zealous, and selfless. For a shorter work, and one marketed for the young adult audience, the spiritual lessons within Icon are astounding. Oh, and THE icon is as much a character, as much a hero as he is a title! 

For all these reasons, and for those the reader will find beneath the cover, I happily recommend Icon by Georgia Briggs. I also recommend buying a few extra copies to give as gifts to children, grandchildren, students, parish friends, neighbors, or any other young people the reader might know and care about. Help spread the word. 

Deo vindice.

BONUS! When I submitted the review to Geopolitika, https://www.geopolitika.ru/en/article/icon-georgia-briggs, I was informed that ICON Is already available in Russia, and that it won the Enlightenment book prize. See this excellent interview with the author [RUS].
