Clarence B. Carson

April 18th, 2009

Men live their lives within a framework of customary relations and patterns for achieving their ends and solving their problems. In the absence of positive force, they have worked out and accepted these patterns voluntarily, or they submit to them willingly. Any alteration of these by government involves the use or threat of force, for that is how governments operate. The old order must be replaced by a new order for the reform to be achieved. The result of the forceful effort to do this is disorder.

  • ANC head honcho Jacob Zuma courts the Afrikaner vote: “Of all the white groups that are in South Africa, it is only the Afrikaners that are truly South Africans in the true sense of the word. . . . They are here to stay.”
  • Why I Am an Anarcho-Pluralist, by Keith at AttacktheSystem.com.
  • Anna Bramwell and “Ecofascism”- a “critical and supplemented condensation” of Bramwell’s three eco-history books. Written from a “Utilitarian” & “anti-fascist” viewpoint, but interesting nonetheless.

Everyone who sees the film will understand that Russians and Ukrainians are one people — and that the enemy is from the West.”
  • Colonel Percy Fawcett: Nietzschean explorer.
  • The LaRouchian Madness, by Ean Frick at High Modernist Horizons.
