While we here have not endorsed anyone for US President; we feel that it is abundantly clear that under no circumstances should Hilary Clinton become the next president. The intrepid Julian Assange and others, through their researches have proven that everything negative we've suspected about the Clinton Machine had a basis in fact. The Clintons are under investigation yet again; with an FEC investigation very likely on the way. And there is still questions surrounding the still-unsolved murder of Seth Rich.
Which really leaves Donald Trump as the last man standing, so to speak. Yes, there are other candidates. But Jill Stein (Green Party) and Darrell Castle (Constitution Party) are on the ballot in less than half the states. The Libertarian Party duo of Gary Johnson and William Weld are hardly appealing alternatives to Trump. On many social issues they are closer to Hilary Clinton than to traditional libertarians; and Johnson has proven himself repeatedly to be an utter ignoramus on geopolitical issues.
Nonetheless, The Donald is not without considerable flaws; some so critical in many Conservative minds that resistance has grown with our own ranks. Collectively, it is called the Never-Trump Movement, although there are really roughly four main factions of them:
1. The Old Guard. These are the Reaganite Republicans who see Trump as the antithesis to Reagan's example. They typically are rightly concerned with Trump's appeal to the extremist Alt-Right and his rejection of the 'Big Tent' approach. They also point to Trump's seeming disdain for Constitutional procedure, which was a hallmark of Reagan's Administration.
2. The Traditionalists, or 'Social Conservatives' as they are known in the media. This group is justifiably concerned with Trump's lack of regard for traditionalist social issues. As we've mentioned here, there's an eerily cultish aspect to the Alt-Right, which is not liable to set well with Conservatives concerned with upholding America's traditionally Christian values.
3. The Conspiritorialists. Glenn Beck is fairly representative of this group. They hold, rightly, that Trump's past behavior and speeches are at a concerning level of variance with what he says today. With several variations, they commonly believe that Trump is a Stalking Horse candidate whose motives are in tandem with the corrupt Elite.
4. The RINOs. While we have some sympathy for the first three groups; the Republican Establishment gets no pity from us at all. They complain about Trump's base today---when for decades they willingly cultivated and exploited them, giving them nothing in return. This is a group that was probably Republican because they hadn't the same opportunities for power and graft with the Democrats. The Bush Family and media figures like Karl Rove and Michael Medved are examples of RINOs.
Yet here we reach a conundrum. Those who cannot back Trump as a matter of principle cannot reasonably back Clinton either. We think that there are two courses of action really open to us here.
1. Should Trump get elected, spend the next four years fighting the Alt-Right and promoting traditionalist values in the run-up to 2020.
2. In any case, use your vote to elect Conservative Senators, Congressmen, Governors, and local officials. They are the first line of defense stopping extremist Beltway policies---whether coming from the Far Left or the Far Right.
That is probably the best course of action to take on November 8th. Don't be put off by worries of 'how Trump will govern.' The Government is more than a president. If the 2016 election has taught us anything; it's that lack of self-government produces candidates like Trump and Clinton. Let's make 2016 a turning-point that it doesn't happen again.
October 29th marks six months that our blog has been in operation; hopefully assisting in some meaningful way to reverse the threats to our civilization and culture, and hopefully living up to the points made in our first article.
Many bloggers have since linked to our blog and articles and several articles have been remarkably widely viewed from all across the globe. We look forward to another six months' public service and thank everyone for their patronage of this site.
In this article, we are going to post synopses of our Top Ten articles (actually 11 since there was a tie for 10th place). The rankings come from the number of page-views recorded for each. We'll include the date of publication, if anyone wishes to reference them in the Archives here.
One of the interesting features of this survey was that one topic was predominant: exposure of the Internet cult known as Game, or the Red Pill Philosophy. This group has infiltrated the Men's Rights Movement, the political Conservative movement, several churches---and has become quite prominent in media, pop culture, and especially in Internet and social networking venues.
One reason why this topic was widely read, we believe, is because there are very few sites which cover this cult from a Traditionalist or Conservative perspective. There are many sites critical of the Red Pills; however most of these are Feminist or Leftist politically and socially. What the numbers illustrate is that there is keen interest in Conservative, Christian, and Traditionalist circles on this topic. Hopefully, these numbers will inspire others to challenge the Game/Red Pill narrative as well.
Here then, are the most popular posts---chosen by our readers:
1. The Red Pills and Domestic Violence (July 26th). This article was written in response to a Game Cult attack on Christian blogger Mary Kassian. Mary had advised one of her female commenters that submission to domestic violence and abuse was not Biblical; and the Gamers argued the contrary.
2. Obama's Proxies in the Philippines (May 26th). An article exposing Obama's rigging of the Filipino Presidential elections in favor of Rodrigo Duterte: a savage killer and anti-Catholic bigot. Since this article was published, Obama and Duterte have had a falling out. Sadly, however, our predictions for the future of the Filipino people are coming true.
3. The Dallas Shooting (July 8th). A short and pointed article that was widely linked on other blogs; written the day after the brutal ambush and murder of 12 Dallas police officers. The article's point was to illustrate that our societal abandonment of male guidance is correlated to these violent incidents.
4. The Ministry of Propaganda (May 12th). This article concerned a Bill proposed in Congress to create a new Federal bureaucracy designed to counter alleged 'anti-government propaganda' by setting up government-controlled internet sites. The Bill is still pending.
5. Red Pill Redux (July 26th). This was the sequel to #1. The Gamers further attacked Mary Kassian and this article addressed their new controversies.
6. The Red Pill Cult Again Endorses Domestic Violence (October 6th) The Red Pill/Game Cult has made a practice of attacking other Christian blogs under the pretense of supporting 'Biblical headship'; or the Christian family paradigm. They were at it again this month; again arguing that domestic violence was Biblically-based.
7. What's Wrong With This Picture? (May 11th). This was another short, but pointed article; the first of several we've written exposing Corporate Media yellow journalism and lack of credibility in the current crisis with North Korea.
8. The Red Pills and Sexual Politics (August 2nd). This article examined and debunked the Game Cult myth of so-called 'Sexual Market Value'; a concept which, sadly, has gone mainstream. We exposed the origin of the doctrine, which was originally rooted in Marxism.
9. Vox Throws Tantrum Over Infogalactic Reviews (October 19th). On October 10th, Game Cult blogger Vox Day announced the launch of a new site called Infogalactic, which he boasted would replace Wikipedia as the Internet's premier online encyclopedia. Outside of the Manosphere, Infogalactic was received mostly with degrading silence or hooted down with derision on Technology and Science-Fiction blogs. Vox experienced something of an online meltdown; lashing out at his critics. The tantrums were continuing as recently as yesterday.
10. (tie) The Real O'Nothings (May 31st). An article exposing that the Cultural Marxists' much-ballyhooed Catholic-bashing, pro-homosexual television series, The Real O'Neals, has been a ratings and commercial flop: mostly hanging on due to ABC's willingness to subsidize it for political correctness' sake. The show's online approval rating hovers between a pathetic 60-70% (equivalent approximately to a 2-star movie rating). When this article was published, there was talk of cancelling the show because advertisers were losing money. In spite of that, ABC has brought it back for another season.
10. (tie) Red Pills, Red States, and the Red Nightmare (June 7th). The Game Cult, which promotes racialist theories as well as religious heresies, circulated an article published by Vox Day claiming that "your skin color is your uniform'' a phrase that Vox has repeated several times since. This article exposed that Game Cult racial theories are simply Marxist class-struggle theories which have been modified; and debunked the myth that racial segregation actually preserves civilization.
A masculine archetype that sadly has disappeared from Postmodern Culture was once a defining icon throughout the English-speaking world: that was the hero who operated outside the Letter of the Law, but upheld nonetheless the Spirit of the Law. From the Robin Hood of Mediaeval English folklore to the Dirty Harry of Hollywood's late Golden Age---there was always a character who stood out: an enemy of the untouchable, corrupt elite; a friend to friendless: the one those in trouble turned to when in need.
An era dominated by political correctness and moral relativism can only look with horror upon men once looked up to as heroes. So for this weekend's entertainment selection, we're going to showcase that archetype in a character who even claimed the mantle of Robin Hood: The Saint.
The Saint aired on the BBC from 1962-1969 and on Independent US networks, featuring the exploits of adventurer Simon Templar. The show was based on a very popular British novel series of the mid 20th Century by author Leslie Charteris. Charteris was in fact, a co-producer of the television series after semi-retiring from writing. It's believed by many---and not without good reason---that The Saint was a character modeled largely upon Charteris' own experiences. At any rate, Charteris clearly identified with the character: the novels and sometimes the opening series narration had a brief moral message of sorts related to the story, and sometimes during the dialogue. In his early novel, The Avenging Saint (1930), Templar rescues a damsel-in-distress and escapes with her on a boat. The two have a conversation in which Templar says:
"Yes, they say that I'm mad. But in reality, I'm mad enough that I still believe in romance. I couldn't stand the thought of living in a sickly world where everything is this hoary shade of gray; and there is no right and wrong any longer. Give me instead the heroes of old; who thought nothing of bopping the ungodly one on the beezer; and afterwards celebrating lustily with their comrades over a job well done."
And true to that ideal, Templar takes down a dazzling array of villains: corrupt politicians and evil financial oligarchs; Nazis and Communists; organized crime bosses and a host of other unsavories. His nemesis---like many other such characters---was the police who never quite understood that they and Templar were working on the same side.
Fortunately, Templar always outwitted both sides of the law and lived quite well on the percentages he took from his various enterprises. Templar in this way represents another lost masculine archetype: regardless of the often violent nature of the battles he fought, he was always a perfect gentleman. Our forefathers believed that culture and education mattered more than brute force and manipulation in making a man, and the warrior (or in this case a modern knight-errant) was no exception. Chivalry---a concept sneered at by the self-appointed Manly Alpha Leaders of the Red Pill Manosphere---was a definite aspect of Templar's character. The White Knight, a term used by Manospherians in derision was worn by men like Templar as a badge of honor.
Though The Saint was more popular in England than the US, the character nonetheless spawned numerous Americanized imitators in our own media. As Leslie Charteris once famously said, when asked if The Saint was a good role model for men with its 'quaint notions' of the classical chivalric romantic ideal:
"I am an absurd idealist. But I believe that this must all come true. For unless it comes true, the world will be laid desolate. And I believe that it can come true. I believe that, by the Grace of God, men will awake soon and be men again; and that color and laughter and splendid living will return to a bleak civilization. But that will only come true because a few men believe in it, and fight for it, and fight in its name against everything that sneers and snarls at that ideal."
This is the reason we have these Friday Features: one can learn more about what it means to be a man in one paragraph than everything written in the Manosphere combined.
The Saint is best watched on DVD. Better still, invite your favorite local Red Pill or Male Feminist over to watch with you. But be warned: like Templar's religious namesake, you might witness a conversion to manhood before it's all over. It's happened before to a lot of men.
An interesting phenomenon here in the Prozac Nation is our culture's schizophrenic attitudes towards sexuality---heterosexuality in particular. The Cultural Elites will ruthlessly attack anyone who objects to allowing children near homosexual adults, and just as viciously persecute anyone suspected of engaging in any remotely heterosexual activities.
As if on cue today, the Corporate Media brought back memories of "a high-tech lynching" carried out in the early 1990s against then-Supreme Court nominee, Clarence Thomas. The Thomas Confirmation Hearings were notable for being one of the first instances of Trash Culture and tabloid-level sleaze played out as an actual political drama.
So today, we had yet another female victim come forward during a politically-volatile season who suddenly remembered that Justice Thomas 'groped' her 17 years ago. Thomas denied the allegations to an outraged mob---all of whom happen to work for the press.
Why is the Corporate Media going after Justice Thomas? (Other than, of course, that they hate him for being a Conservative). The answer goes back to the 3rd Debate. Donald Trump was asked a set-up question by the shill Chris Wallace about whether he would accept the election results. Trump left the question open-ended, but The Corporate Media pounced on the story within minutes (almost as if it had been orchestrated) and ran pointless headlines for the next several days howling that Trump might actually contest the election.
What happened the last time we had a contested election (2000)? It was decided by the Supreme Court.
The Court is currently composed of eight members since Justice Antonin Scalia died under very mysterious circumstances in Texas last February. With the Conservative Scalia conveniently out of the way and Thomas compromised, the remaining seven Justices would give a huge advantage to the Clinton Machine in any electoral dispute.
Probably this what these 'allegations' amount to; an attempt to stack the Court in Clinton's favor. Even the somnambulant American public should be aware by now that the Clinton Machine is a criminal enterprise that would stop at nothing for power and profit. Of course, the Ameroboobs should be, but whether they actually are or not is another matter.
When a sitting Supreme Court Justice suddenly dies in some remote location, with no autopsy or coroner's inquest and the body is cremated over the Justice's own wishes---and the Elites all say in unison that not a bit of that is even slightly suspicious---such people will swallow gullibly any innuendo of impropriety directed at another Justice. We've effectively become an Idiocracy where politics is a national soap-opera and elections are like (also rigged) sporting events.
So the latest scandal is a repeat of what Thomas called 25 years ago "nothing but a circus and a national disgrace." And so it's been ever since.
It's a noteworthy social phenomenon that the power of cults seems to be strongest wherever a community has a high percentage of drug addicts and homosexuals. So it is not surprising that Satanic cults have a significant public presence in the Pacific Northwest. Especially in Portland, Oregon (4th worst drug addiction rate and 9th per capita homosexual population) and Seattle, Washington (#1 in both categories). In both these once-great cities, a Satanic cult called the Temple of Satan has been actively trying to establish Satanist recruiting in elementary schools---with the full blessing of local politicians and media, incidentally.
When we consider that both Portland's former mayor and Oregon's top DNC fundraiser were indicted for sexual relations with underage boys; and that Seattle has professed Communists on their City Council, we have an excellent gauge as to the general character of both cities.
In spite of these advantages, however, the Satanists were frustrated in their attempts to launch pilot after-school programs in two schools. In Portland, a protest staged on October 19th forced the Sacramento Elementary School Administration and their cultic confederates to postpone indefinitely opening the Satanic after-school club. Around two hundred protestors---mostly from Portland's ethnic Indochinese and Latin American communities---organized a demonstration and prayer vigil outside the school. The ultra-PC Portland leadership was a bit flummoxed over this dilemma---how to attack Christians without offending ethnic groups was a conundrum they couldn't overcome.
Meanwhile, in the Seattle area, the cult's plot to plant its operatives at Mount Vernon Elementary School was blocked after the school board there announced that there would be no openings for new groups until mid-2017. Frustrated in their designs, the cult shifted its target to Port Defiance Elementary School in Tacoma. Bishop Michael Doss---who is Black---has organized a dozen local church leaders and families in Tacoma's largely black neighborhoods to defeat the Satanist proposal. Bishop Doss is encouraging parents to homeschool and set up church-based alternative schooling if the Satanist plan is approved.
Anti-Immigrant and anti-Black elements in the Alt-Right, take note. It's the 'Third World Refuse' and ' Ghetto Dindus' whom you despise that are standing up to the native-born White Liberals who see nothing wrong with giving Satanic cults access to children under 12. Think about this fact very carefully.
Satanic cult leader Lilith Starr of Seattle angrily told Q-13 News that it simply isn't fair that Christians get to have after-school events while Satanists are excluded. Starr elaborated on the dangers of exposing impressionable children to concepts like Divine Love and redemption, or the Ten Commandments.
"Our groups are organized to give students the tools they need to make their own decisions." Starr protested to the credulous Seattle media, "Christians use fear tactics to make children believe in the God of the Bible. They teach that kids are sinners and worthless and going to burn in Hell for eternity."
That our postmodern culture takes people like Lilith Starr seriously is a testimony to how low we've really sunk as a society. But fortunately there are a few Americans left whose minds haven't been crippled by drugs, the mass media, and the public schools---people who recognize the danger of Satanic cults.

In the Postmodern United States, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is---despite the best efforts of vested interests--- still enshrined in the Constitution. In spite of this, it is almost unheard of here in the Prozac Nation that any Corporate Media outlet ever publishes anything in defense of the Second Amendment. Of course, when US Media figures call for gun control, they never mean disarming themselves. The most notorious example being California---where the media is specifically exempt from California's extremely strict firearms laws.
So imagine the surprise of actually seeing an editorial today encouraging people to buy and use firearms for their own protection. Even more surprising was the fact that it appeared in China's The Global Times---which is not only a state-run media outlet; it is the official news outlet of the CPC: China's ruling party. The editorial was so popular, it actually scored among the top Twitter feeds today.
The story covered a demonstration in Philadelphia last weekend where about 2,000 Chinese-Americans staged a protest---many of whom were armed. Apparently there has been a wave of anti-Chinese violence in Philadelphia and elsewhere, especially from American Blacks. It appears that some socially conscious rap musician---a thug from Compton calling himself 'YG'---has been encouraging young Blacks to target Chinese people and businesses.
But instead of imitating the American Media and demanding tougher gun laws, the editors at The Global Times recommend:
"Chinese in the US are increasingly aware that they may need to defend themselves. This awareness should be encouraged...Law Enforcement should always be called when appropriate, but keeping yourself safe is a basic personal responsibility. In the US this potentially does mean keeping and learning how to use a firearm."
Imagine an American news editor actually saying that. And even moreso, criticizing the rest of the media for not saying it:
"There should be more awareness and discussion in China about the situation in foreign countries. The Chinese Media should be reporting on these issues extensively. The understanding that you might need a gun to protect yourself or your family or your livelihood in some parts of the US is nonexistent. Chinese moving to the US shouldn't be under any illusions: You might need to have a gun and use it someday. If that isn't part of your calculation when considering moving to the US; then you are being irresponsible and putting yourself at risk. The simple fact is that a good portion of the US population has guns; including many criminals. Ignoring that fact doesn't make it go away."
The article also cites instances of Chinese-Americans successfully protecting themselves with firearms.
What this article really reveals, however, is the sad fact that a Chinese reporter sitting in an office in Beijing is more grounded in reality than most of the so-called 'journalists' who were actually born and educated here in the US. And add to that the fact that the Corporate Media has gotten so bad here that, not only do we have to turn to foreign sources for actual news, even their Op-Ed pages do a better job than ours.
So, saluting our friends in China, we conclude by recommending to those in the market for a reliable self-defense weapon, the Norinco CF-98 9mm automatic. Proudly made in China, it's the export version the standard Chinese police handgun. Like most Chinese weapons, it's not fancy but it is efficient. Purchasing a Norinco not only takes a bite out of crime; it takes a bite out of the Corporate Media too.
The Manosphere's Game Cult teaches its disciples many anti-Christian heresies while painting it as 'new' or 'revealed' Christian 'truths'. The Cult calls their conversion experience "taking the Red Pill", an allusion to a scene in the 90s B-Grade film, The Matrix. In that film, a red-colored narcotic allowed its imbiber to 'see the truth' behind an artificially-created social façade. The Gamers apply the metaphor to all their social theories. The result is that anything that contradicts Game is seen by them as part of the Cultural Narrative, a falsehood imposed on society to cover up the 'Truth'. This is, of course, simply re-designed Marxist social theory.
The Gamers are importing this mindset into Christianity, and preaching a plethora of new doctrines that thousands of years of Christian scholarship has somehow missed. One such teaching appeared today on the Game Cult blog, Chateau Heartiste.
In an article titled, Comment of the Week: Jesus Found a People, Heartiste highlights two spiritual insights from a pair of his disciples who inform us that the white races of NW Europe are God's Chosen peoples.
"The NW European White man's unique idolization of truth-seeking preconfigured his relationship with Christianity." Heartiste affirms. "Religions are as likely to emerge from, or seek out, the genetic substrate of a people, as a people are to be changed by the moral code and tenets of their new religion. Mutually reinforcing feedback loops intensify the attraction between a race and a religion."
This is somewhat at variance with the New Testament, where St. John the Apostle informs us that "But as many as received Him, to those He gave power to become the Sons of God; to those who believe in His Name. Those were born not of a bloodline, nor through the desires of the flesh, nor through the will of man, but instead by the Will of God." To underscore this point, St. Luke also records that the first converts were from the Middle East, Greece, and Eastern Africa---where the most ancient Christian communities survive to this day. It also seems to have escaped Heartiste's attention that the Vatican is not in Northwestern Europe; and that the largest population of Christians happens to be in Latin America, with the second largest in Eastern Europe and Russia.
"Unique idolization of truth-seeking" seems a bit of a strange choice of words, given that the Bible is rather hostile towards idolatry. And this includes racial idolatry.
What the Game Cult is actually preaching is not some new, advanced philosophy; but a social atavism to pre-Christian thought. It is a well-known fact that human civilization in its infancy was characterized by racialism, tribalism, and idolatry. The Cross of Christ represented a unifying force welcoming all peoples everywhere to aspire to ideals higher than those of the material senses. To the Game Cult, the Cross is barely more spiritually significant than a totem pole; a boundary marker delineating the spiritual territory of a certain clan.
What Heartiste actually means when he claims that religions seek out the genetic substrate of a people is that the Holy Spirit touches only those who, by purely human definitions, are inherently superior to others. This is a logical extension of the Game Cult theory of the Alpha Male, who becomes a superior man after taking the Red Pill. It is an idea antithetical to Christianity to say the least.
Taking the Red Pill doesn't open anyone's eyes to the Truth. Instead, it blinds those who swallow it to everything other than what its metaphorical pushers want them to believe. In this respect, the symbol of a narcotic agent is an apt one for the Game Cult's version of truth. It has the same effect of dumbing-down and creating dependence that most other narcotics have.
