READ THIS.

What is interesting is that a boring leftie like Oats is pointing this out. The replies are the predictable dishonest bullshit gaslighting. The usual, “This is not happening, but if it is it’s a good thing because white men suck.” If you have any doubt that racist hatred towards young white males exists spend a few minutes looking through the replies.

Out of curiosity I ducked into Barnes & Noble today and took a look at the New Releases. A quick scan makes it clear that 85% or more of the newly released hardcover novels are written by women and looking at the shelves I couldn’t find one novel written by a young male author. I took a few pictures.

But this isn’t happening according to literary agents on Twitter.

So, let’s be honest. If you are a young white guy you are not welcome in any mainstream professional artistic community, least of all literary publishing. Not that the literary publishing world is welcoming to non-white masculine men either. Kyle Connor from Orange County isn’t being replaced by DeAndre Jones from Compton. Both are tossed in the waste bin in favor of wine aunt fiction and the occasional upper-class immigrant oppression story.

It’s not “over,” as the author suggests. Rather, it means either self publishing or routing through one of many smaller, independent houses. There’s also the need to stop supporting the Bigs that hate you.

Banning Even More Books

book ban, books, Bulgakov, Tolstoy, Ukraine

I know we’re getting away from the #StandWithJewishHitler charade, but if you still sport the Ukranazi flag on your Big Socialz, right or wrong side up, then consider banning Tolstoy from your bookshelf. Because Herr Zelenskyy has done so and you support the latest thing and all. And it’s not just War and Peace.

Kiev has banned Russian works of art – and language instruction – long before the current conflict, however. In March 2019, the Ukrainian government prohibited some 40 works of art due to their mention of Russian businesses, artists, social networks, internet portals, the USSR or Soviet political figures. Among the works banned on that occasion was Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel ‘The Master and Margarita,’ which had also been censored in the USSR.

The irony! The Master and Margarita (reading it right now; not bad) is, among other things, a writer’s cautionary admonishment against tyranny wherein literary censors are compared to a literally vampiric, satanic hit squad. There’s also this crazy, favorable mention of someone with the initials JC. Can you “even”?

Not to worry; I’m sure Russia will reverse all of this nonsense in the not-too-distant future.

More reading, sorry.

THE RUSSIAN WAY OF WAR, Grau and Bartles, 2016, is an intelligent, well-researched eye-opener. More modernization has happened in the six years since it was published but it paints a very accurate picture. Also, as to the ongoing liberation of DPR-LRP-Ukraine, for the authors’ mention of the retention of the Prussian, they may not provide the best explanation of the Prussian’s, Clausewitz’s, (accurate German) warfare with (not by) other means. That matter, the Russian execution thereof has somewhat baffled the likes of Dr. Roberts and me; however, such strategies – and their obvious success – are on contemporary display.

A fine book for those who want to know.

COLUMN: The Empire of Lies Strikes Back: Spotting Falsehoods

 

It might suffice to say that, regarding Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, everything the mainstream media, the Werewestern politicians, and their master say is a lie. Hello, and welcome to my promised expansion on last Saturday’s musings. The following involves reading assignments and I will keep it somewhat short.

Again, even considering the COVID hoax, deception, and 24/7 hysteria, I can’t recall ever seeing or hearing anything like the current luciferian war of words on Vladimir Putin and Russia. And I think, in this case, it really is safe to assume everything these liars say is, in fact, a lie. We were warned about them by a certain Carpenter.

So, here are seven books and a documentary that may help the intrepid news-seeker make sense of what the liars are up to, in general, and specifically, in this sad case in and around Ukraine. There are many more sources, but again, will even one out of twenty readers look into let alone read these? I won’t even bother with links. If one finds it important, then consult that mysterious internet thing for directions.

Falsehood in War Time, Arthur Ponsonby, 1928 (almost forgot this one…)

Literally speaks for itself.

Who Rules America, John McConaughy, 1934

In 1934, it wasn’t whom one might think. It certainly was not “the people.” As things have changed, the patterns remain the same. Our elites have completely wrecked everything for their own benefit. Having wrecked foreign policy, the military, morale, and intelligence (and everything else), all they have left now in their fear is the weaponized media. 

War is a Racket, Smedley Butler, 1935

Most are. Russia has a unique justification and responsibility. The US and NATO do not. This isn’t the proverbial banker’s war. Rather, it’s a war against the bankers and their dark king of the world. Still, Butler’s experienced views of the then-nascent US imperial outlook may be instructive for understanding their current impotence and panic.

Unrestricted Warfare, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, 1999

This is a must-read on its own. The media campaign, like migration, finance, education, and more, is a direct form of warfare by indirect means. It does little to nothing to slow Russia’s hard actions on the ground, but it does hypnotize the masses, like chants at a football game. Not much of a factor, but still a factor. 

Two Hundred Years Together, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, 2001

The conflict in and over Ukraine has been in progress for a thousand years or more. Historically, it has involved the same parties in the same places doing the same things. Not much has changed except for the allegiances and alliances. It helps explain why the globos hate Russia the way they do. (They hate China almost as much and their captive hosts in the West more). Solzhenitsyn obviously couldn’t cover much of the 21st-century unfoldings. To better fill that gap, watch:

Ukraine on Fire (Movie), Oliver Stone, 2016

I do not ordinarily recommend videos and motion pictures, but this one is worth it. It rather accurately (and graphically) explains how the present crisis came about: the nazis of Kiev, the never-ending CIA/NATO/dark state meddling, and the runup or attempt at genocide of the Russian population in Crimea and the Donbas.

SWJs Always Lie, Vox Day, 2015

A great look at liars in general and their rhetorical attacks on anything real and/or good. Three rules: they always lie, they double down on the lies, and they project. Today, when FOX, CNN, BBC, and Mittens Romney babble away, they are lying. The double these lies times five million (never seen anything like it). At the end of the day, through the constant repetition of how evil and horrible Russia is and how great the West’s fake “democracy” is, they roundaboutly admit the exact opposite is true – they’re projecting their wickedness and failure towards the anti-globalist alliance.

Gekaufte Journalisten, Udo Ulfkotte, 2014

This might be the most important one on the list, at least in general. Ulfkotte saw it all in his insider’s career and he revealed the secrets of how the media and the intelligence agencies narrowly tailor the news, censor the news, or just completely make up the news. Once one grasps the mechanisms – as with his recount of the fake desert battle during the Iran-Iraq war – one cannot help but see the obvious deceptions everywhere.

Note: Yes, due to censorship from the “free and democratic” WereWest, one will have some difficulty finding English edition copies of some of these works. There are distinct reasons why the liars would rather have the masses in the dark, hypnotized to the ceaseless drumbeat of lies and hysteria. 

 

Understanding Wartime Propaganda

books, lies, media, propaganda, War

I’ve never seen anything like the globohomo assault on the truth over Russia’s defense of herself and civilization. Coming off two years of COVI-hoax madness, that says something.

Here are five books that help make sense of what the liars are up to, in general, and specifically, in this sad case in and around Ukraine. There are many more, but honestly, not many will even read one. I’ve also written and talked about these five previously.

  1. Who Rules America, John McConaughy, 1934
  2. War is a Racket, Smedley Butler, 1935
  3. Unrestricted Warfare, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, 1999
  4. Two Hundred Years Together, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, 2001
  5. Gekaufte Journalisten, Udo Ulfkotte, 2014

More on these, perhaps in a column, later. Happy reading.

A Statement And Another Book

 

Right now, at write(ing) time, it’s late afternoon on Wednesday, February 16th. I too eagerly await this imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine. Grim business, friends, grim. Oh, that was another hoax?! Well, fooooool me.

Hola, amigos! This one will be a little short because I am more than a little tired. In fact, as the title might suggest, I’ll leave most of the work to you – reading work.

Read this JOINT STATEMENT first. Russia and China have formed the backbone of the anti-Globalist Alliance and they are actively moving ahead with this century. This partly explains the panic, lies, and … more panic and lies about the seeming nothing that is the Ukrainian situation. It is a laughing, righteous response to decades of hatred and provocation from the globo-Zionist elites who have captured and practically destroyed the USSA and much of the West. In short, the same party did the same thing to Russia and they attempted another round with China. The Russians caught and expelled them; the Chinese adamantly rejected their advances from the start. All that gibbering and wailing from the fake administration, Langley, the talking screen on the wall, and the wicked masters behind it all reflect a deep, dark antipathy mixed with impotent desperation and quite a bit of the devil’s standby emotion, fear.

The good news – heck, the great news – is that other nations are also waking up and preparing to join the winning side. Make no mistake, the good guys are winning. Mainly because they’re fighting. That’s really all it takes after one or one’s nation wakes up. India, Iran, Argentina, and probably Brazil and Turkey are boarding the high-speed train of the prosperous, free, normal future. More will follow – to include, eventually, names like Japan, Korea(s), Iraq, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Ukraine (yes), Poland (yes), Hungary (yes), France (yes), Mexico (yes), and many more. One day, perhaps places called “New England,” “[Old] England,” the “CSA,” “California,” and “New Africa” may sign up. The coup d’état will be when or if they land a country called Israel (yes).

And, all that shit in Ukraine? It’s old. Very, very, very old. Same story, different century. What’s literally happening, which is most different from the pitiful, idiotic lies the TeeVee has told you, is the latest iteration of a sequence of events in progress since about the Eighth Century. To get a more accurate picture of what’s been going on, and what will likely continue for maybe a little while longer, please read “200 Years Together” by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. 

The book, a longer but powerful read, briefly covers an additional 1,000 years of history which is mostly and conveniently set in and between … Russia and Ukraine. Oddly enough, that history also involves the same two ultimate parties. Then as now, it was a struggle between Christians (the Russians) and satanists. (And no, Cleetus, the Ukrainian people are not the satanists. Read the book). Which side would you like to see prevail? The one, former side’s victory is assured, so choose wisely.

This is not a full review. But it is a shorter column. So, get to reading. Here, a final parting thought: why I had to link to the unofficial samizdat edition of such a fine and thorough work. Solzhenitsyn wrote it in modern Russia and published it in 2001. Still, as of now, we have no English translation to purchase that I am aware of. (Russian edition HERE). That’s because of the massive censorship of ideas, from the outside, allowed into places like dead Amerika. Let that sink in. A man famous in the Western world because he wrote a banned book now has another book banned by the Western world. So, as you read this illicit version in your own personal ‘Murican Gulag, kindly note all of the similarities between what Russia experienced from roughly 1800 until 2000 with what the US has experienced since around 1900. Chapters one, seven, and twenty-five are genuine eye-openers. 

Open your eyes. And read. And think. 

More, next time; carry on.

books, short column

Other than this shortest of “columns” I mean. Me? I’m halfway through, and losing interest in, the very interesting WHO RULES AMERICA by John McConaughy (1934). If you’re the average Amerikan idiot, then I hazard a guess your answer is … “uhhhhhh?” Whatever.

I’m throwing a lot of effort into the fiction, even as I keep meeting with one sign after another that the book writing, publishing, and reading world has gone the way of the dinosaur. I’m also throwing much effort into the PPN, which takes a lot of time and provides, as of yet, not a lot of return. All things in due time, right? All of this and more leaves me… Hell with it.

Tune in Saturday to the PPN for an update on who rules your dead country. What would you think of a religion that mandates murdering a three-year-old girl after her rape so that her rapist doesn’t look bad? (If you’re thinking anything other than that’s satanic and should be destroyed, then fuck off and never come back here again). Now, what would you think if this religion ran your government? Crazy, right?

That’s all I have the energy for now. Maybe more later or next week or whenever. Go read something for God’s sake!

A Review of “A Fatal Mercy, The Man Who Lost The Civil War,” by Thomas Moore (1948 – 2021)

"Civil" War, A Fatal Mercy, book review, books, fiction, Thomas Moore

A Review of “A Fatal Mercy, The Man Who Lost The Civil War,” by Thomas Moore

 

*We can add to Tom’s long list of achievements his proper raising of three sons and his very positive influence on his step-children. Within two or three hours of learning of his death yesterday, I had a few ideas and thought, “wow, I need to run that by Tom.” I’m still in the hit in the face stage; shocked to follow, I suppose. Here, I repost my 2019 review of his last major novel, an instant classic on several fronts. He was approached, though I don’t think the porject evolved far, about turning A FATAL MERCY into a TV or Netflix mini-series, which, if done correctly, would be excellent. Don’t wait for that; buy the book. 

 

The boy had it right in quoting his grandfather: “courage and fortitude are never in vain … no good cause is ever lost because all good causes are lost causes.” Even if he didn’t exactly understand the last part of it, that quote expresses an oft-felt theme, if not a rule, of life and of a higher civilization. It is the theme of his grandfather’s story from 1863 through 1913.

 

Was Drayton FitzHenry the man who lost the War for Southern Independence? The man himself certainly thought so, perhaps with good reason. Then again, the reader can, likely will, come to understand that there may have been a good reason behind the losing. The story is simple in its complexity, and visa versa.

 

Moore has really written two books in one. A Fatal Mercy is an in-depth study of the human condition and of Christian morality, Western in origin – Southern by the grace of God. On the one hand, the book is a stirring rendition of The War. In that alone, it is fantastic martial fiction, at once woven by an elegant and commanding imagination and steeped in painstakingly researched history. The story is compelling, riveting.

 

That is especially high praise from me. Unlike my father, I am not a “Civil” War buff. As a child, the old man dragged me from battlefield to battlefield, constantly uttering information gleaned from his (separate) War library. I certainly gained a respect – and the good manners to at least phrase “Civil” with those all-important quotation marks – but I never developed the … obsession. This book, all through its 727 pages, engendered some of that. This is a work my father would have read – and liked. Those of you who knew him, know that is higher praise.

 

Perhaps highest of all, is what that aforementioned history and the associated culture, presented alive and burning, generates with regard to what I see as the second grand interpretation, a thoughtful, reasoned, and unapologetic defense of relevant antiquity, classical knowledge, honor, and the grandeur of Western Civilization.

 

I am a student of classical Greco-Roman tradition. Here, Moore writes as well and true as any: “One reason we study the Classics, apart from the value of the knowledge itself, is for what they may teach us about our times.” With this sentiment, Cicero concurs: “To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?”

 

Today, most Americans, Southerners included, are ignorant of history, children easily led astray from their ancestral heritage. Moore addresses this issue, with direct examples, slightly dramatized, through the eyes of his protagonist. Drayton’s book-long dilemma revolves around a momentary eye of the storm at Gettysburg. Rather, around the eye of the fish hook, as Shelby Foote put it if we stretch Foote’s geographic definitions to include Little Round Top (and it is, topography-wise, a sub-eye). See: The Civil War, a Narrative, Stars in Their Courses, p. 479, Random House, New York (1963).

 

Of that terrible battle and its defining outcome, Bruce Catton wrote: “There was no pattern to any of this, except for the undesigned pattern that can always be traced after the event.” Never Call Retreat, Encounter at Gettysburg, p. 186, Doubleday, New York (1965). If this is true – and who doubts Catton – then Drayton’s dilemma is understandable. Drayton lived out the maxim: “Iniuriam facilius facias quam feras – Easier to do a wrong than to endure one.” – Syrus, Maxims. As he refrained from the former, so he endured the latter. Both counts are attributable to – and tribute to – his wisdom and honor.

 

And, there is an honor, and a wisdom, about Drayton FitzHenry that is rare among literary creations. Odysseus has it, as does Frodo. That wisdom moves beyond the narrative of the War, the horrors of Reconstruction, and into the following age. Along with other, innumerable truths, a lesson and a warning speak directly to us. It finds different ways of expression:

 

  • The kindly nature of a freed slave towards her former master;
  • The correct realization that the War ended the original American Republic, freeing one class of slaves only to create another;
  • Understanding the force and effect of the demonic legal trilogy of 1913: to this end, three separate quotes, conjoined (by me, for my purposes): “Power transmutes into Empire. Empire begets hubris. Hubris brings ruin. … [O]ur virtues will be needed by America, perhaps even the world, more than ever. … We must do the best we can and leave the consequences to God.”

Moore’s articulate, enrapturing characters witness the end of a Republic. We stand at the very possible end of an Empire. Then, in the fable, and now, in our reality, both intelligent free will and resolve to honor Providence properly combine. Sayeth the poet: “Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo – If I can’t move Heaven, I’ll raise Hell.” – Virgil, The Aeneid, VII, 312. The men at Gettysburg, of both sides, did exactly that. A Fatal Mercy does the same, does both in fact, recalling the horror and heroism of combat while instilling pride in the genteel, the cultured, the learned, the respecting, and the respectable. It is all of powerful magnitude.

 

The Author states: “My principal goal was not just to write the best contemporary novel of the War, but also to place my protagonist in an excruciating moral and emotional dilemma and see how he would resolve his inner conflict.” Moore has done that, and greater still. This book is a timeless Classic.

 

Also: The letters… The burning of the letters, Chapter Seventeen, moved me. The reader will, I trust, understand soon enough.

Amazon, books, publishing, Vox Day

Vox heralds the endless contraction of the (big) publishing world.

The publishing world is under ever-tightening control. An agent explains why this is going to make things worse for authors and readers alike.

By 2022, we will be down to The Big 4 – Penguin Simon & Random House, Hachette, Macmillan, and Harper Collins Houghton Mifflin Harcourt – plus a smattering of some mid-size but growing independents. And that’s it.This contraction significantly impacts writers an authors, and here’s why:

Read the whys part. Also, look at some of the comments about the Amazon Question. I’ve never signed up for Unlimited, as a reader or as an author. There’s just something fishy about it – beyond the obvious monopolization factor. In fact, at some point, I envision leaving Big A for either my own branded site backed by an on-demand outfit or else going with someone like Castalia (if they’d have me). As-is, I wouldn’t even consider wasting time with the gatekeepers of the Bigs.
