  • Michael O’Meara reviews Dominique Venner’s Ernst Jünger: Another European Destiny.
  • Arabs and kibbutzniks forge unlikely alliance against proposed haredi city. Talk about strange bedfellows!
  • The Socialist Party of the Netherlands has profited from its opposition to immigration and the free movement of labour. A must read!
  • Keith Preston dissects Classical Marxism: To the degree that the globalization process is being resisted, it is being done by populist-nationalists (like Hugo Chavez) or non-state religious militants (like Osama bin Laden) who appeal to the very particularist sentiments that Marxists vociferously reject.
  • Battle of the Teutoburg Forest: Germany Recalls the Myth that Created the Nation.
  • Germany’s New AIDS Ad — Starring Hitler.
  • Margaret Thatcher, Secret Defender Of Soviet Security.
  • A leading German historian claims that Mahatma Gandhi was “one of the greatest friends of Nazi Germany”.

  • Persian Angels and Demons.
  • Tarantino’s Homage To The European Race? Mark Ames of eXiled offers a very different interpretation of Inglourious Basterds.
  • Tintin to be sued for ‘racism’.
  • David Irving sparks row in Spain: “The Holocaust is just a slogan, a product like Kleenex or Xerox printers. They’ve turned it into a commercial phenomenon, and succeeded in making money out of it – producing films about it which have made millions.”
  • Human Rights Watch hires a Nazi memorabilia collector. The Israelis- predictably- are outraged.
  • Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago will be taught in Russian high schools, a generation after the Kremlin banned it as destructive to the Communist cause and exiled its author.

  • Cluny to Celebrate 1,100 Years.
  • Megadeth Awakens to the New World Order.
  • Handbook of Chaos by Albert Caraco: He was a reactionary and a misanthrope of the first class. “I don’t hide my profession of pessimism and I’m an avowed partisan of reaction” … He was not only a racist and a colonialist, but also vaguely a monarchist, at least nostalgic of the Old Order (“The sooner we reestablish monarchy, the best” ); inegalitarian (“Behold the species of abortions which form the common humanity, does it look as if they are our brothers?”; “Which is the most false idea? Equality”).
  • From 1944 to Nineteen Eighty-Four: Hayek and Orwell.
  • Rossellini, Italian cinema and the Left: Following Nobel writer Günther Grass’s tardy confession several years ago that he entered the Nazi Waffen SS as a seventeen-year old in late 1944, Italian critics began trying to pinpoint the precise dates in the middle of last century in which Italian intellectuals converted from Fascism to Communism.
