Separatism, Revolution, and War
I disagree with certain things that are said in this, but it’s a very interesting discussion. Preston Martin interviews Matthew VanDyke and Mikhail Svetov about foreign policy.
What is a Startup Society?
Are startup societies a way of building the infrastructure for pan-secessionist action?

Libertarians Have a Class Theory, Too (and It’s Better Than Marx’s)
A great interview of Gary Chartier by Tom Woods. Listen here. I can’t recommend Gary’s book more highly. It’s available at Amazon.

President Trump’s ‘Friends’ in Saudi Arabia
Isn’t it interesting that the two greatest allies of the US are an ethno-supremacist state and a Bronze Age theocracy? By Andrew Bacevich The American Conservative In the long arc of history, while regimes come and go, civilizations endure. Bet on the former against the latter, and you’re […]
Neocon Think Tanks Not Russian Media Are the Enemy Within
“Neocon think tanks” are merely organizations that develop the “policy” programs that serve the interests of the state. By Jon Wight Ron Paul Institute for Prosperity The latest salvo in the ongoing attempt to de-legitimize and demonize Russia-based media has arrived with a directive from the US Justice […]
Trump’s Failed Coup in Iran
Efforts by the Empire to turn Iran into a wrecked nation like Iraq, Libya, and Syria have thus far failed. By Eric Margolis Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity Listen to the state-“guided” US media this past week and you’d believe a series of spontaneous anti-government protests […]
Trump Isn’t Another Hitler. He’s Another Obama.
The great thing about the Obama and Trump administrations is that they have proven that supposed “maverick” heads of state are no different than ordinary dynastic centrist politicians like the Bushes and the Clintons. US foreign policy and economic policy reflects the general consensus of the dominant factions […]
Breaking – Tillerson Unveils ‘New’ US Syria Plan: ‘Assad Must Go!’
Like the Obama regime, the Trump regime is turning out to be a bunch of neocons after all. There is nothing that the Rome on the Potomac hates more than independent nations who defy the Empire. The US Empire would rather liquidate Syria into a failed state like […]
Is America Becoming a Police State? The Disturbing Questions of ‘Do Not Resist’
Duh? To ask the question is to answer it. This appears to be an interesting and generally unbiased documentary made by the son of a SWAT team commander. This is the single most important domestic issue in the United States at present, and one that transcends the usual […]
The Endurance of Empire

Sovereignty and Grand Strategy: Some Observations on the Rise of China and Decline of the Americans
In the past, much of my own work has focused on critiquing a world order where the USA is the dominant hegemon because, well, that’s the world we’ve had for the past 30 years (and, really, for 73 years when it is considered that during the Cold War […]
A New Year Means a New California Secession Movement
By Scott Shackford Reason Another movement to split up California is brewing. This one wants to create a state called “New California,” essentially by separating the red from the blue. New California would be made up of the inland and non-metropolitan parts of the state (with the notable […]

Peter Tatchell and the Total State
Like Sean, I have some level of respect for Peter Tatchell. However, these troubling statements of his indicate what I have always said, i.e. that any ideological system, no matter how much it may seem to represent “good causes,” can be twisted towards state-centric and authoritarian ends. Additionally, […]
‘Oil Wars’: Is This an Accurate Summary of U.S.-Led Interventions in the Middle East of the 21st Century?
Duncan Whitmore argues that US imperialism in the Middle East is about maintaining the hegemony of the petrodollar, countering the influence of Russia and China, and advancing the interests of Israel and Saudi Arabia. To all of that I would add maintaining hegemony over the oil trade by […]
How President Trump Normalized Neoconservatism
The Never Trumpers need not have worried. As I have always said, the US President is merely a celebrity-administrator whose only genuine function is to preside over the implementation of policies that reflect the general consensus of the dominant factions of the elite. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO […]
A New Poll Shows the Public Is Overwhelmingly Opposed to Endless US Military Interventions
This is great news in that it really does place the general public at odds with the ruling class. One of the most important and successful political movements in US history was the anti-Vietnam War/anti-draft movement of the 1960s and 1970s. The long range effect of the movement […]
An Indian city run entirely by corporations hasn’t had a functioning government for 40 years
By Chris Weller Business Insider Gurgaon, India is a city where normal functions of a local government do not apply — because there is hardly any government at all. Instead, private corporations dominate the city, offering sewage removal systems, firefighting services, health care, and education. “The interesting thing about Gurgaon is […]
Mexican cities secede to escape corruption and cartels, forming corporate dystopias, precarious utopian projects, and Mad Maxish militia towns
The infrastructure of pan-anarchism is already being created. Boingboing.Net Mexico’s corrupt, failing government that covers up official mass murders by attacking journalists and dissidents with cyberweapons is locked in a stalemate with the country’s horrific, mass-murdering gangs, and the Mexican people are caught in the crossfire. The weak […]
Getting Grand Strategy Wrong
By William S. Lind Traditional Right One of the iron laws of warfare is that a higher level dominates a lower. You can be brilliant tactically, but if you are defeated operationally, you lose. You can win tactically and operationally, but if you get beaten strategically, you lose. […]

Nietzsche on Self Recovery
Knew some of you would appreciate this. Enjoy. —– Editor’s note: I couldn’t find a non downloadable link to the Walter Kaufmann translation of Nietzsche’s “Why I Am So Wise” anywhere online, which is weird given that Nietzsche’s most well known quote belongs to this text. To my knowledge, this […]
When Will Trump Supporters in The Freedom Movement Realize They Were Duped?
By Derrick Broze The Activist Post What will it take for Trump supporters to admit they were duped like Obama supporters before them? One of the most surprising (and disappointing) effects of the Trump presidency has been the shift of certain “independent” and ” alternative” media outlets from […]
Keith Preston: Trump represents a tradition of ‘xenophobic isolationism’
Press TV. Listen here.

Keith Preston: US war against North Korea would have ‘catastrophic consequences’

Keith Preston: Republicans advancing interests of upper classes

With the rise of the alt-right, Latino white supremacy may not be a contradiction in terms
Soon there will be articles in the press discussing the serious and imminent dangers posed by African-American white supremacists. “Clayton Bigsby is not just a fictional character!” By Gabriela Resto-Montero Mic White nationalists, neo-Nazis and members of the alt-right exchange insults with counterprotesters as they enter Emancipation […]
2017 Was the Year I Learned About My White Privilege
Prominent neocon Max Boot moves leftward. In the early 2000s, I predicted that eventually “conservatism” in the USA would look like today’s Democratic Party, and that “liberalism” would look like the present academic left/SJWs. This seems to be the direction in which things are increasingly heading. Boot says […]
The Man Who Gave White Nationalism A New Life
An interesting profile of Alain De Benoist. By J. Lester Feder and Pierre Buet Buzzfeed PARIS — The man the alt-right claims as its spiritual father is a 74-year-old who lives with four cats in a Paris apartment around the corner from a Creole restaurant, a West African […]
Even Republican Luminaries Admit the Police State is a Problem
This would be comical if it wasn’t so pathetic. A coalition of Republican luminaries admits that the police state and its related features are actually a problem. The list of signatories to this group’s manifesto includes many who were involved in creating the police state in the first […]
Universities Are Raising a Generation of Trumplets
By A. Barton Hinkle Reason That dull roar you heard a few days ago? It came from the countless gasps of horror when The Washington Post reported that the Centers for Disease Control had discouraged the use of certain words. According to The Post, policy analysts were told […]
Political correctness isn’t the problem
The problem I see with the line of argumentation that’s being made in this piece is the implicit assumption that because right-wing authoritarians actually exist (duh?) and that many representatives of the centrist establishment are scumbags (duh?), that left-wing authoritarianism does not exist, or is somehow not problematic. […]
Targeted – Transgender Woman Attacked by BAMN – Yvette Felarca
It’s interesting how the left/right divide is increasingly taking place across conventional ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic boundaries. My guess is that as the techno-oligarchs and new clerisy increasingly become the dominant faction of the ruling class and the state, the Anti/SJW/neo-Communist configuration will attempt to piggyback on them […]
The Man Who Infiltrated BAMN/Antifa – Carlos
A Hispanic man who survived a Communist revolution infiltrates BAMN/Antifa.
Right-wing Celebrities Play Fast and Loose With History

EEOC’s Enemy Of Religious Liberty

Trump’s Tax Gambit: Hoping for a Reagan Repeat
When Trump was running for President, he said in an interview with Megyn Kelly that two of his main goals as Prez would be “rebuilding the military” and “tax cuts.” In other words, standard Republican talking points. By Robert E. Merry The American Conservative In March 1997, two […]
Trump and Military Intervention
On foreign policy, Trump more or less continues the Obama legacy, with a little bit of Republican hawkishness thrown in for good measure. In other words, more or less what Hillary what have done. Who could’ve guessed? By Daniel Larison The American Conservative Trump has had a more […]
The Republic Was Never Supposed to Be Forever
By Bradley J. Birzer The American Conservative As I write this second part of the series, the origins of the rise of the modern nation state, our own nation state looks—financially—nothing short of pathetic. At the end of 2017, the federal government’s official estimate for deficit spending is […]
The Exit Principle
If the objective of pan-anarchism/anarcho-pluralism is the replacement of states with societies organized on the basis of decentralized, voluntary associations, then a question that arises involves the issue of what kinds criteria individual communities would have to meet of qualify as legitimate voluntary associations of these kinds. The […]
