The Idea of Communal Profit

“PRESENT economic organization is intrinsically unjust for the same reason that it is ineffective and inefficient: the population never derives enough income from the production of the desired goods and services so as to be able to purchase that production in its entirety. The return for effort is much less that what it should be because the capacity to produce is not automatically balanced by the financial capacity to consume. (more…)

Theatrics in North Carolina, cont.

THE alleged stabbing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina on August 25, 2025 is so obviously fake, it’s comical — or it would be comical if so many didn’t imbibe the news without discernment.

The Maligning of Unhappiness

Winslow Homer, Veteran in a New Field

HAPPINESS is not all it’s cracked up to be.

We wretched humans, members of this fallen race, have a positive need for unhappiness at certain moments in our lives.

Without unhappiness, we would be much worse off. (more…)

Lessons from an Indian Friend

YEARS AGO, a friend from India, whose company I enjoyed, taught me invaluable lessons about Indian culture.

These brief doses of real life in the course of casual conversation were entirely unsolicited. At the time, I had only a rosy view of a country I had never visited and was unlikely ever to visit. Everyone from India was, to me, an exemplar of Gandhi-like detachment and homespun simplicity, my ideas being largely derived from movies. It’s not that these positive impressions are without basis in reality. Not at all. I have known genuine exemplars of this simplicity and detachment. But my friend taught me a bit about the underside of Indian character that was unknown to me.

For instance, my friend told me: (more…)

Rage Bait in North Carolina


 
I’M STILL working on fixes to this website so please disregard the confusing layout, but in the meantime I would like to warn you about a major news story — the alleged stabbing of  Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, on the Lynx Blue Line light rail in Charlotte, North Carolina on August 22, 2025. This event appears to be just another case of staged propaganda.
 

The reasons why I say this:

The perpetrator is portrayed in videos by two different people, one a thin man in a red sweatshirt, the other a much bigger man in an orange sweatshirt.

No one on the train reacts, even when the perpetrator walks through the car with a dripping knife. If you can imagine what it would take to kill someone with a small pocketknife, what kind of struggle would ensue and how visible and alarming it would be to those less than three feet away, the failure of the passengers to look up even is an extreme implausibility.

Our Financial System vs. the Common Good

“WE, Social Crediters, say that the monetary system does not reflect facts. The opposition says it does. Well, I put it to your common sense, how was it that a world which was apparently almost feverishly prosperous in 1929 — or alleged to be so, judged by orthodox standards — and certainly capable of producing tremendous quantities of goods and services and distributing a considerable portion of them, could be so impoverished by 1930, and so changed fundamentally that conditions were reversed and the world was wretchedly poor? Is it reasonable to suppose that between a single date in October, 1929, and a few months later, the world would change from a rich one to a poor one? Of course, it is not.” (more…)

The Gregariousness of Black Culture

Library of Congress

FROM Democracy and Race Friction by John Moffat Mecklin, (MacMillan Company, 1921); pp. 66-68:

Into this high-strung, militant, and thoroughly rationalised civilisation of the Anglo-Saxon, with his heritage of laws and institutions evolved through centuries of struggle and presupposing the fighting spirit, the negro was thrust, against his will, and with instincts developed in a social, economic, and political setting totally different from that of the white. Deficient in the instinct for group organisation with a view to defence, he has never been a match for the white, even with everything in his favour, as the issue of the struggle between the Ku-Klux Klan and the Union League of Reconstruction days showed. He is handicapped, furthermore, by his inability to find his way through the maze of bewildering legal refinements and complex system of rights which are totally foreign to the negro race genius. Among these, however, the white feels himself entirely at home, for they are the legacy of his fathers, the expression of his group consciousness, and, therefore, the natural battle-ground for the bloodless gratification of his pugnacious instincts. No doubt the spirit of his race spoke through Professor Kelly Miller when he contrasted the “intolerant Teuton” and his militant individualism, Puritan ethics, and exclusive race pride, with the “amiable African” and his peaceful communism, his latitudinarian ethics, and almost entire absence of race pride.1 (more…)

In the Words of Abraham Lincoln

"'THERE is a moral fitness in the idea of returning to Africa her children, whose ancestors have been torn from her by the ruthless hand of fraud and violence. Transplanted in a foreign land, they will carry back to their native soil the rich fruits of religion, civilization, law and liberty. May it not be one of the great designs of the Ruler of the universe, (whose ways are often inscrutable by short-sighted mortals,) thus to transform an original crime, into a signal blessing to that most unfortunate portion of the globe?' This suggestion of the possible ultimate redemption of the African race and African continent, was made twenty-five years ago. Every succeeding year has added strength to the hope of its realization. May it indeed be realized!" -- Abraham Lincoln, Eulogy on Henry Clay, 1852

The White Man’s Burden

"WITH regard to the inauguration of new institutions, the Negro's influence will be nil. The inquiry for the reader, then, is not what will the Negro contribute to social progress, but how much burden will be upon the Caucasian in the latter's struggle to progress. The degree in which the Negro lags behind the Caucasian in creating and applying the material and spiritual agencies of progress will constitute the 'white man's burden;' a burden which is to forever thwart the nation in the attainment of those cultural heights warranted by Caucasian capacity and purpose." --- Ernest Sevier Cox, White America (1937)

September Gold

SEPTEMBER
— by Archibald Lampman

Now hath the summer reached her golden close,
And, lost amid her corn-fields, bright of soul,
Scarcely perceives from her divine repose
How near, how swift, the inevitable goal:
Still, still, she smiles, though from her careless feet
The bounty and the fruitful strength are gone,
And through the soft long wondering days goes on
The silent sere decadence sad and sweet.

The kingbird and the pensive thrush are fled,
Children of light, too fearful of the gloom;
The sun falls low, the secret word is said,
The mouldering woods grow silent as the tomb;
Even the fields have lost their sovereign grace,
The cone-flower and the marguerite; and no more,
Across the river’s shadow-haunted floor,
The paths of skimming swallows interlace. (more…)

Is Old Age for Fun or Wisdom?

Portrait of an Old Woman, Christian Seybold; 1690

I ONCE met a woman who moved with her husband from the New Jersey suburbs to a house on a dirt road in the Adirondack Mountains. She said she could no longer cope with the whirlwinds of traffic back home. Here in the woods, by a rocky river, she intended to spend her last years.

Her life didn’t really conform to the American ideal, which involves lots of activity, lots of travel and lots of fun. Old age is supposed to bring youthful busyness, with dancing to pumping music in gyms, road trips and cruises to exotic places. You’re supposed to dress like you’re 16, in tank tops and yoga pants, and be up for romantic novelty with new “partners.” Toward the end of life, when the body is worn and much less attractive, one is supposed to imitate not just the energy of people decades younger, but even their sexual appeal, which only goes to making the old ridiculous and sometimes downright hideous.

This cultural phenomenon is a disaster. For one, it keeps the old from anchoring the ship of society. By devoting time and energy to correcting, directing and upholding, the old protect moral and spiritual values. There’s an evil drive behind the leveling of the generations. It helps create a society of soulless materialists easy to control. In dystopia, the young are given rights and privileges beyond their years.The young are not young and the old certainly are not old. The generations are equally superficial and hedonistic.

The importance of old age is not in having free time for pleasure and doing things one couldn’t do when one was young; it’s in preserving and embodying wisdom and reverence. In the loss of beauty, the old prove perhaps that beauty isn’t supreme. (more…)

Applied Christianity

“I AM fairly confident that the persecution which was the lot of Christianity in its earliest years was by no means because it was concerned with something purely transcendental— something that we call the world to come. Taking the merely material implications in it, I have little doubt that what was recognised and persecuted in early Christianity was the economic implications of its philosophy. Only when Christianity became, as it did, purely transcendentalist, was it felt to be fairly respectable and fairly safe.” --- Clifford Hugh Douglas
