Podcasts
Ep1: Redditors of the Reddit Moon (Paid) - The inaugural episode of the long-awaited (by me, at least. It took me forever to learn how to do audio stuff) podcast. The first episode reviews the new Martin Scorsese movie Killers of the Flower Moon and discusses the role of “atrocity porn” in our society
Ep2: Robocop: Rogue City review (Free) - A review of the new videogame Robocop: Rogue City, which is a perfect adaptation of the (also perfect) Robocop film series, which gets discussed for a little bit as well
History
"Grab the Revolution by the Throat" (Free) - A brief biography of Russian Interior Minister Pyotr Stolypin, with particular focus given to how he successfully ended the massive amounts of far left violence and social disorder that almost toppled the Russian Empire following the 1905 Revolution
General Wrangel asks "What's in a name?" (Paid) - Charts the changing names of the White Army during the Russian Civil War, and the efforts of General Wrangel to finally cut the Gordian Knot of identity in a grand struggle
The 1932 Bonus Army scandal was always communist propaganda (Paid) - Gives a rundown of the infamous gathering of 20,000 veterans with 20,000 other followers in Washington, DC that ended with the US military running everyone out at bayonet point. Surprise: it was a communist psyop
How Marshal Mannerheim saved his country by quitting and telling everyone to fuck off (Paid) - An introduction to the 1918 Finnish Civil War (more on this to come) and the actions that led to Marshal Mannerheim, the national hero of Finland, rising to his role of supreme commander of anti-communist forces
Sacco and Vanzetti were always guilty (Paid) - Provides an overview of the Sacco and Vanzetti case, placing it within the context of the surrounding leftwing terror wave and other unrest. Although a “wrongfully accused” narrative has been built around the pair over the last century, it turns out that the evidence against them was pretty overwhelming and they were both members of a terrorist network
In March 1914, socialist mobs invaded and shook-down churches all over New York City (Paid) - Provides an introduction to the socialist/anarchist International Workers of the World union by detailing a series of violent “protests” they staged in New York City during an economic downturn, targeting local churches. It turns out that people didn’t like the “Wobblies” for pretty understandable reasons
IM-1776 publishes Conundrum Cluster article! (Free) - Provides a link to my new history article “FDR’s Censorship Regime” which was published in the conservative magazine IM-1776. The article describes the clash between FDR’s liberal Office of War Information and studios over a film about Andrew Johnson and Reconstruction
ACLU hero Clarence Darrow bribed juror to try to free bombers who killed 21 people (Free) - Introducing the infamous 1910 Los Angeles Times bombing case, in which union organizers blew up the L.A. Times building as part of a larger terror campaign to silence critics of unions. The explosion and ensuing fire killed 21 innocent people. Influential civil rights lawyer Clarence Darrow took up the union organizers’ case, claimed they were framed, stated that no bombing even occurred and that it was all really a conspiracy by big business, and then got caught red-handed trying to bribe a juror to vote to acquit during the trial. It’s a great story and one that has mostly been scrubbed from Darrow’s legacy as a crusader for truth and justice
ACLU hero Clarence Darrow bribed juror to try to free bombers who killed 21 people (Part II) (Free) - Follow-up to last week’s introduction to the L.A. Bombing case. This article covers the actual juror bribery scheme carried out by hero of American justice Clarence Darrow. If you want to catch up before you start, you can find Part I here
Anarchists almost blew up St. Patrick's Cathedral in 1915 (Paid) - Gives an introduction to anarchist terrorism of the period by recounting the fall of the “Bresci Circle” after a conspiracy to blow up a cathedral in New York City was discovered and infiltrated by the (then brand-new) NYPD bomb squad. The investigation itself is interesting but the trial afterwards, in which liberal lawyers created a bogus civil rights controversy to distract from the bombing, is perhaps more revealing
Two intelligence reports from the American Expeditionary Force in Siberia, 1919 (Free) - Reproduces two very revealing intelligence reports written by a seasoned American diplomat attached to the American military intervention during the Russian Civil War. Examines the role that public morale, passivity, and dysfunction play in revolutionary environments, allowing small groups of unpopular revolutionaries to punch well above their weight. Please read these.
America’s “Fighting Mayor” vs the 1919 Seattle General Strike (Paid) - Provides an introduction to the 1919 Seattle General Strike, which in my mind represents a good “opening shot” to the failed (and largely forgotten) leftist revolution attempted in 1919. The crisis was successfully resolved due to the heroic efforts of Mayor Ole Hanson, a very interesting figure in his own right who is also profiled in the article
Ole Hanson stumps the country for Americanism (Free) - Newspaper article from 1919 that features an extended interview with hero ex-Seattle mayor Ole Hanson who successfully resolved the 1919 Seattle General Strike without bloodshed. Hanson embarked on a national speaking tour against domestic radicalism, and it really is remarkable to see just how similar the problems they faced back then were (and how the people of the time solved those problems)
Forgotten Counterrevolution: The Boston Police Strike of 1919 (Paid) - Recounts the infamous 1919 Boston Police Strike, three days of terror inflicted on Boston by an alliance of immigrants, labor unions, and street criminals that were only ended by State Guardsmen and rightwing vigilantes flooding the city
Health and Wellness
Have you ever tried... going to sleep? (Free) - A few tips on how to correct sleep problems after you’ve already tried the obvious: improving your diet and getting enough exercise. Although this isn’t an exhausted list of insomnia cures, these are things that I have tried personally and worked for me after years of sleep issues
Have you ever tried... Scottish showers? (Free) - Thoughts on a new way to shower that could greatly enhance your life or might kill you, your mileage may vary
Current Events
It's taken Utah more than 3 years to bring a BLM gunman to trial for shooting a driver in broad daylight (Free) - Outlines the case of Jesse Taggart, a BLM activist who shot a driver at a roadblock in Provo, UT during the 2020 George Floyd riots. Taggart’s trial still hasn’t begun and another BLM activist who pulled a gun and chased the victim at the incident received no jail time
BLM gunman who shot a driver in the head has charges dropped, sentence reduced, eligible for parole in 2026 (Free) - Tracks the case of James Marshall, an Alamosa, CO attorney and former public defender who nearly killed a driver at a BLM roadblock during the Floyd Riots. Marshall received a much lighter sentence and much more support from the legal community than one would expect for shooting an innocent person in the head
Judge gives BLM gunman 70 days in jail for firing at car on highway, hitting bystanders (Free) - Gives an overview of the attempted murder of the occupants of a Jeep that had the misfortune of encountering a BLM roadblock in Aurora, CO. The shooter, Samuel Young, received the sympathies of the judge. The article sketches the relatively-unknown (but very revealing) infrastructure behind this incident and proposes more detailed solutions to the problem of these roadblocks in general
BLM gunman convicted of manslaughter, not murder, for shooting police officer to death (Free) - Describes yet another incident of politically-motivated jury nullification by liberal jurors. A BLM militant shot a police officer unprovoked during a routine stop but was convicted of the lesser crime of manslaughter, rather than murder, at trial several years later
Daughter of cyclist murdered by “teens” tells people not to draw obvious conclusions (Free) - Coverage of the sad aftermath of the murder of a white cyclist by two non-white teenagers. The murder was filmed and was apparently committed solely for the purpose of entertainment. The victim’s family gave a press conference where they asked the public not to focus on the racial element of the story
Newsom is their guy for 2024 (Free) - Makes the case that, contrary to popular wisdom, California Governor Gavin Newsom is both running and will be a formidable opponent for Republicans in 2024
Heroic former football star and Army paratrooper takes stand against mental health circlejerk (Free) - Covers the surprisingly large controversy surrounding former Arkansas football star and combat veteran Jake Bequette’s dismissal of University of Arkansas head coach’s Sam Pittman call for greater mental health awareness and condemnation of social media following two huge losses
Tim Pool justifies blacks beating unconscious white teen to death and then blocking rescue (Free) - Details political commentator Tim Pool’s bizarre and lazy defense of the acquittal of two black men for beating an unconscious white teenager to death after the teenager sprayed them with a gel blaster. The black men made an obviously fake self-defense claim which the jury and Pool accepted at face value
"Protestor" who condemned BLM shooting victim arrested for terrorism in Georgia (Free) - Another article on the aftermath of the 2020 George Floyd riots. An observant reader noticed that one of the leftist activists employed to create the record surrounding the victim of a BLM roadblock shooting in Aurora ended up being arrested for terrorism in Georgia this month
Gavin Newsom wins Republican primary debate (Free) - Responds to the September 27 Republican primary debate, namely Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s missteps during and after it. Although the DeSantis campaign is going nowhere fast, it is providing an enormous benefit to the Democratic ticket in 2024, particularly probable contender California Governor Gavin Newsom
Stop asking for the Nashville massacre manifesto (Free) - Offers a (in my opinion) much needed new perspective on the controversial decision not to release the manifesto of the trans Nashville spree shooter. I think people need to stop looking to leftists to validate their concerns. They’re not going to be convinced by “proof.” What’s happened here is pretty obvious, and giving the killer a voice could lead to unforeseen consequences
DeSantis betrays himself by falling for debate meme (Free) - Thoughts on the recent decision of former Presidential contender Ron DeSantis to agree a debate with California Governor Gavin Newsom. The decision will almost certainly lead to disaster not just for DeSantis, but the entire American Right, and reflects larger (and reoccurring) cultural issues in rightwing spaces
Schoolmarm DeSantis tries to longhouse President Trump for accurate Israel comments (Free) - Outlining Ron DeSantis’s recent attacks on President Trump for saying things that are objectively true about the situation in Israel, recalling the political climate of perpetual dishonesty and hysteria that existed before Trump entered the scene with a realist and humanitarian foreign policy
Comparing the New Mexico 2A protestors with the NYC Zoomer Sunrise Movement (Free) - Analyzing the direction of leftwing and rightwing protests. Although the latter appear to be more heavily armed (for now), the former pose a much more immediate threat to the public and even the powers at be if left unchecked
Reminder: Don't get too cocky (Free) - A plea to everyone to please keep it cool as the pendulum of culture appears to be swinging back towards the Right, or at least away from the Left. Never forget that we’re up against people who are shooting to kill. The winds can change very quickly, you have to protect yourself. At the end of the day, we don’t need them
Please stop talking about how the election is going to be rigged before it has happened (Free) - An article discussing an enduring problem on the Right: well-meaning people demoralizing their own side for no real reasons. There are plenty of issues with fraud but these can be solved, and in fact they have to be solved, without telling your own people that their vote doesn’t matter. I lost like 12 subscribers after posting this article but I’m definitely right about it
Tennessee Soviet tries and fails to bury inconvenient facts about Nashville shooter (Free) - Thoughts on the recent revelation that the Nashville spree shooter manifesto expressed anti-white hatred, contrary to the public statements of many government and law enforcement officials to justify keeping its contents from the public
Politics and Culture
Gingergate (Free) - Analysis of the conservative response to Oliver Anthony’s smash hit song “Rich Men North of Richmond.” I think it’s sending people in a very negative direction
On the Need for Conservative Pulp (Free) - A proposal that conservative culture take things a bit closer to the edge and lighten up a bit
Clown Car Crash (Free) - Live commentary on the first and hopefully last 2024 Republican primary debate
The Yellowstoning of Oliver Anthony (Free) - Commentary on the ever-evolving Oliver Anthony situation, particularly his claims of neutrality and universal appeal
The DeSantis Martha's Vineyard stunt was still very dumb (Free) - Follow-up on the special delivery of illegal immigrants to the country’s wealthiest liberal enclave by Florida governor and one-time presidential contender Ron DeSantis. Pushes back on conservative attempts to rehabilitate this stunt (which fizzled out quickly) and places liberal complaints about the migrant surge in context with their real-world actions
Revolutionaries vs. Counter-revolutionaries (Free) - Outlines what I believe is the big obstacle to rightwingers forming an effective response to leftwing aggression: rightwingers continue to frame themselves and their problems through a fundamentally leftwing lens
"Comedian" crafts the myth of the 21st century on Netflix (Free) - Thoughts on the recent revelation that apparently famous television host Hasan Minhaj, whose “comedy” acts often involved sharing personal stories of racism and discrimination, actually fabricated many of the incidents he described. When confronted, Minhaj was unapologetic and claimed that his lies were “emotionally true”
ALERT! The Boomers are fedposting (Free) - Response to the common claim that the fedposting of our beloved Boomers implies that good things are on the horizon for the American Right
Conservative Underpants Gnomes (Free) - Reviews post-liberal British philosopher John Gray’s negative review of notable internet commentator Bronze Age Pervert’s book Bronze Age Mindset. Although Gray was very hostile to BAP, a lot of his criticisms seem poorly thought-out. In particular, Gray claimed that it was a conservative working class movement, and not BAP’s elitism, that would drive future successes. In my article, I dispute the idea that a conservative working class movement even exists and try to describe the Underpants Gnome logic on this and other topics that’s pervasive in conservative spaces
Post-Post-American Identity (Free) - Reflections on a very important topic today: American identity. The article rejects proposals to “move on” from America (and drop immigration as a core issue), whatever the real world situation is, and proposes a new path forward
What should conservative music be? (Free) - Thoughts on how to build a conservative culture to last in very hostile modern conditions. I propose one of my favorite musicians, Johnny Horton, as a good example to take cues from. It’s important to lighten up a bit
Brown Age Mindset (Free) - On the controversy surrounding notable Twitter poster Bronze Age Pervert’s refusal to endorse the recent Hamas offensive on Israel. The criticism is mostly bad faith and is part of a larger trend of very stupid Third Worldist entryism into rightwing spaces, which is probably going to lead to bad things long-term
Do not intellectualize arguments for why you should be killed (Free) - More thoughts on the ongoing internet feuds about how to respond to the latest Israel-Palestine fighting. I think the solution is pretty clear: Don’t support either side (neither are friendly), but definitely don’t endorse the logic of decolonization that leftists are using to justify the attacks on Israel. This thinking is something that has to be actively opposed. That same logic can and will be used to justify similar attacks against us
How to read history (Free) - Using the death of Michael Brown and the birth of the professional Black Lives Matter movement to illustrate how fake history is made. There’s only one way to short circuit this process.
Shitposts
I might get cancelled for saying this, but... (Free) Bold declaration of controversial statements that might trigger those of weaker constitution
List of potential allies against the elites (Free) - Profiles of colorful characters who conservatives can join with to take down our nefarious elites. After all, it’s ultimately just US against THEM
Signs that a regime is on the brink of destruction (Free) - Checklist of events that certain online rightwingers persistently argue are good, somehow
ALERT: TURN ON THE NEWS (Free) - Hard-hitting analysis of the ongoing apocalyptic WW3 death collapse. If you don’t read this article you will likely be carried away by the storm.
