THE STARK TRUTH: RETURN OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ANIMAL

Robert Stark and Matthew Pegas talk to David Cole about his recent Ann Coulter event, and the past, present, and future of the Republican Party. David Cole writes for Takimag and is the author of Republican Party Animal.

In 1998, due to death threats and other pressures, holocaust revisionist David Cole faked his own death and began a new life as David Stein, a Hollywood insider and Republican Party activist. In 2014, however, his true identity was revealed, leading to Cole being shunned by his Republican friends and losing work. Now, thanks to the election of Trump, the mood has changed so much in the GOP that Cole has been "rehabilitated" by important figures on the mainstream right like Ann Coulter.

THE PERFECT CONDITIONS FOR AN ETHNOPOLITICAL SEA-CHANGE?

by Colin Liddell

The Anglo-Irish poet W.B. Yeats said it best:

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world

This is more or less where America is now, after the inconclusive midterm elections, where both Trumpians and the far-Left did well, while centrists and cuckservatives were squeezed.

ANTIFA VIOLENCE NOW BELONGS TO GOP's CUCK WING AFTER PELOSI DISAVOWS

by Colin Liddell

Hmmm, I guess that meme about the Left never punching Left may have to be reexamined.

It seems that the Democrat establishment has just realized what a massive pit of shit was being dug for it by the ongoing Antifa-ing of America.

After a weekend where Antifa and normal Berkeley students roamed around beating up random Normies and a few Trumpies, and also chanted about abolishing the United States, minority leader Nancy Pelosi has moved to put a little clear water between her party and the blatant thugs of the so-called Alt-Left.

DONALD TRUMP AND THE RETURN OF LIBERALISM

by Keith Preston

"Let me give you a definition of the word 'liberal.'…Franklin D. Roosevelt once said…It is a wonderful definition, and I agree with him. 'A liberal is a man who wants to build bridges over the chasms that separate humanity from a better life." – Richard Nixon

"Richard Nixon was our last liberal president." – Noam Chomsky

"Imagine a president who expands affirmative action, actively promotes school desegregation, enacts important new laws in social welfare, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, and consumer protection, supports comprehensive health insurance and a system of guaranteed income for all citizens, and whose Justice Department opposes the RICO Act on the grounds that it gives the government powers that are much too broad and sweeping for prosecuting criminals. In 2011, such a president would be considered far to left of Barack Obama and far to the left of almost everyone in Congress. Forty years ago, such a president was called Richard Nixon."-Matthew Lyons ("Right-Wing Movements 101")

Now that Donald Trump has won an upset electoral victory and will be assuming the office of the presidency in a couple of months, I am going to offer the unconventional and, certainly to many people, counter-intuitive opinion that it was Donald Trump rather than Hillary Clinton that was the most left-wing of the two major party candidates.

CONTEMPLATING THE ELECTION: SIX CRITERIA TO CLARIFY TRUMP VERSUS HILLARY

"I paid my money to the Clinton Foundation. You owe me the presidency. We had a deal, lady."

by Colin Liddell

The US election has now entered its final stage, the battle between Trump and Hillary. Thanks to the insurgent nature of Trump's campaign, we are now in unfamiliar territory. We have never had anything quite like this before. For this reason, it is extremely difficult to say how things will pan out and who will win. Looked at one way, it must be Trump, but, looked at from another angle, suddenly Hillary looks certain to be installed as President by the powerful forces backing—and presumably controlling—her (right now cooked polls are putting her seven points ahead). In short, the overall picture is confusing.

PODCAST 47: "THE ALT-RIGHT CONQUERS THE UNIVERSE"

Australian film maker and Alt-Right contributor Richard Wolstenscroft joins Andy and Colin to consider the full-spectrum rise of the Alt-Right across the World. Topics discussed include the recent Australian elections, the latest Muslim terrorist attacks in Europe, Black Lives Matter, the War on Police, Britain's new lady Prime Minister, and Donald Trump's coronation as Republican Party candidate.

(Note: due to technical problems, Andy was absent from the second half of the podcast.)

BEYOND THE GREAT WHITE HOPE: WHY I'M NOT ON THE TRUMP TRAIN

Incestuous elites

by Bay Area Guy

Following Mitt Romney's demographically determined loss to Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election, one astute observer had this to say about the Stupid Party and race:

"Republicans didn’t have anything going for them with respect to Latinos and with respect to Asians... The Democrats didn’t have a policy for dealing with illegal immigrants, but what they did have going for them is they weren’t mean-spirited about it... They didn’t know what the policy was, but what they were is they were kind."

Who could this erudite individual possibly be? It could very well be some cuckservative who labors under the delusion that Latinos are "natural conservatives" who only vote Democrat because they're repelled by the GOP's (rather feeble) opposition to immigration. Or it could be some far left progressive disgusted with the mainstream Democratic Party and how they screw over people of color with a smile.

CRUZ' S COLORADO COMEUPPANCE

There's such a thing as being too clever.

by Colin Liddell

Well done, Ted Cruz and the RNC, and thanks for helping out the man who usually needs no help, Donald J. Trump.

After he squashed his two previous main opponents – Jeb "low energy" Bush and "Little" Marco – with cutting comments that eviscerated them and framed them as failures, Trump has been having trouble delivering the coup de grace to the cunning Canadian Cuban. 

SUPER TRUMPSDAY

by Colin Liddell

The big day has come and gone.

In the run up to this plethora of primaries, the mainstream media pulled out all the stops to derail the Trump Train – we had pointed questions about retweeting quotes from Il Duce, attempts to link Trump to another Duke, and the ubiquitous Hitler comparisons, speaking of which, some Leftists even resorted to disease metaphors reminiscent of Nazi propaganda in their flailing attempts to do the Donald down.

But the MSM isn't what it used to be. Super Tuesday has played out rather well for Der Trumpenfuhrer, with victories in seven states and opposition to him in the Republican field still nicely split between ultimate lightweights Cruz and Rubio.

SELECTING FOR STRENGTH vs. SELECTING FOR WEAKNESS

 "Trumpublican" Darwinism vs. Identitarianism of the Inferior

by Colin Liddell

The result from New Hampshire is in, and there are stories for both sides of the political divide. The "Trump Train" or the "Bernie Blitz" – take your pick. Channel 4 News, a UK station with an inevitable Leftist bias, is pushing hard on the Bernie narrative. They featured this comment, as if it summed up some sort of watershed moment in American politics:

"The people of New Hampshire have sent a profound message to the political establishment, to the economic establishment, and by the way to the media establishment."

"Nice story, bro," but what they are perhaps missing is just how vile and unlikable Hillary has always been as a candidate, and the surprising fact that she was ever chosen. The proverbial pile of dog poop could probably have beaten her.

TRUMP’S IOWA LOSS ALMOST GUARANTEES HIS NEW HAMPSHIRE WIN

by Jack Buckby

The result in Iowa was extremely tight. The big news is not that Cruz won, though – it’s that the caucus attracted a record evangelical turnout. It’s the result of this turnout that almost guarantees a Trump win in New Hampshire.

Tonight’s real news is that Donald Trump comfortably won the moderate vote and still picked up a great deal of the evangelical vote. Cruz, however, only achieved 9% of the moderates, and 19% of the ‘somewhat conservative’ vote.

LET 'EM EAT ISLAMOPHOBIA

Muslims aren't actually this scary.

by Bay Area Guy

Look, I get it: Islam and Western values do not mix. I'm also of the opinion that Muslims – along with other non-Western peoples – should mostly reside in their countries of origin. Now, with that out of the way, can people please put an end to this fatuous fixation with the evils of Sharia? Apparently they can't, if this embarrassing story from Virginia – where schools were shut down following an Arabic calligraphy lesson – is any indication. If only these hysterical parents could devote half as much energy to resisting multiculturalism, feminism, and other manifestations of modern liberalism.

But of course, they can't, and that's where Muslim bashing comes in. I have argued before that anti-Muslim sentiment is little more than avoidance and misdirected anger. White Americans are clearly upset about their declining status, pessimistic about the US's future, and uneasy about changing demographics. Unfortunately, since white identity has been rendered so taboo, white conservatives can't take that extra step and unapologetically promote their group interests. Instead, they're stuck attacking safe targets like Muslims, who represent a tiny – and ultimately powerless – fraction of the unwelcome change that's bringing about their displacement.

BEST VALUE FOR MONEY?

A great graphic that compares poll numbers with the ad spending of Republican candidates. The message is unmistakable. Trump has spent hardly anything, but is well in the lead. Meanwhile the establishment's former favourite, Jeb Bush, almost seems to be crushed under the enormous amount of money lavished on him by donors, and then poured into ineffectual advertisements.

Showing his face to Republican voters has obviously backfired. Maybe the wisest move Jeb could make at the present would be to invest in a brown paper bag with a couple of eye holes and a name change. In the words of his worthy opponent, he is a "total loser" with "zero cred" who will be "fired like a dog."

REPUBLICANS AS A BUFFER BETWEEN BLACK DEMOCRATS AND WHITE DEMOCRATS

by Colin Liddell

This map (a copy of which can be found here) takes the standard red-blue map of how people voted at the last presidential election, and then factors in race (and for some reason Mormonism!). The key thing to emerge (aside from the fact that the Mormons are well on their way to creating a breakaway state) is that Republicans exist as kind of buffer or intermediate zone between between non-Whites who vote Democrat and Whites who do so, and probably help "facilitate" the latter.

THE RADICAL CENTRE

Pat Buchanan and Ralph Nader.

by Bay Area Guy

During my first interview with Robert Stark, Robert and I concurred that the best ideological platform would be an eclectic mix of Pat Buchanan and Ralph Nader’s beliefs. We further discussed this stance when hanging out in SF, and Robert even requested that I dedicate a post to this issue. On account of the presidential campaign heating up, I figure that now is as good a time as any to honor his request and expand on this topic.

WHAT TO MAKE OF "CUCKSERVATIVE"?

by Bay Area Guy

Just recently, the term “cuckservative” – popularized by the alternative right – has incurred the wrath of mainstream white conservatives. Gregory Hood and Matt Forney have both written excellent articles explaining what constitutes cuckservatism, so I don’t really have much to add in this regard.

I’ll just say that I embrace this term, as well as any friction that the word engenders. The term “cuckservative,” provided that it catches on, has the potential to reform an increasingly stagnant and feckless mainstream conservative establishment; as of now, the American right continues to get thoroughly trounced on just about every issue. Gay marriage is the law of the land, transsexuals such as “Caitlyn” Jenner are lionized, secularism reigns supreme, and non-whites continue to demographically eclipse the people who actually vote Republican.

THE TRUMP TEMPEST AND THE TURBULENCE OF AMERICAN POLITICS

Donald Trump: blowing hard!

by Colin Liddell

Donald Trump has long been interested in running for President. In 2000 he sought the nomination of the Reform Party, and he also floated the idea of running as a Republican in 2004 and 2012. In all these cases, nothing ultimately happened, but last month, when he announced his intention to run and made some off-the-cuff remarks about illegal immigrants, support for his campaign caught on like wildfire.

Political analysis can point to a lot of factors. As Greg Johnson indicated on a recent Daily Shoah podcast, the real “sweet spot” in American politics is a combination of social conservatism and economic populism. This is the combination that would please the greatest number of voters and could ensure a permanent super majority.

WHY WE NEED HILLARY TO WIN: THE FIRE RISES

Buy a vowel?

by Jan Stadler

Given the endless coverage by FOX news and Bill O’Reilly of poll after poll after speculation with Charles Krauthammer over whether Hillary can win, will Hillary run and can Rand Paul beat Hillary, I am going to assume the 2016 election has already begun.

Of course in line with this excessively premature hysteria about Hillary Clinton, conservatives, libertarians, populists, Tea Partiers and Christian fundamentalists are all in a twit over the future prospects of Hilary Clinton become the next president of these states united.

PODCAST 14: DAVID COLE — DYING FOR THE HOLOCAUST

Andy and Colin are joined by David Cole to talk about his new book Republican Party Animal. Among the topics raised are his past life as a Holocaust revisionist, his faked death in 1998, his reinvention as David Stein, a Hollywood insider and Republican Party activist, and his recent “outing” by a disgruntled ex-girlfriend, which led him to write his book. Also under discussion are the pseudo-religious aspects of belief in the Holocaust and how it has become increasingly important as America has become a more diverse and fractured society.

LOOKING FOR A "BERLIN 1945 MOMENT" FOR LIBERALISM

by Brett Stevens

Hegel thinks human culture finds new ideas through dialectic synthesis; in my experience, the process takes a simpler form. We aggregate everything that has worked in the recent term, then drop out whatever we’re afraid of, and push the result onto the next generation. But we stop and re-assess any time a true apocalyptic tragedy strikes.

Such an event happened in Berlin in the year 1945. The Third Reich managed to unite most of the industrial nations of the West against it and went down in flames, buried in Russian bodies and Anglo-American firepower. As the flags came down and the occupation began, history it seemed sent up a signal: nothing further in this direction, turn back now.
