PUTIN MATCHES UK AND RAISES STAKES OVER SALISBURY "FALSE FLAG"

by Alt-Right News

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called Britain's bluff in the ongoing diplomatic spat between the two countries by expelling 23 UK diplomats from Russia.

THE THIRD POSITION: A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

President Trump's recent epic speech in Poland has received a mixed reception from the alt-right at large. In his address to the Poles, Trump praised the still-monocultural, mass immigration-resistant nation for taking a stalwart stand for the values of Western civilization. So far, so great! However, Trump went on to throw down a rhetorical gauntlet against Russia for its recent incursions in Syria and Ukraine, causing some to think he was just using the occasion to regurgitate CIA-friendly Putin-phobic neocon talking points, quite at odds with Candidate Trump's more pro-Russia rhetoric. But can one be pro-traditional West and still Russia-skeptical? Andy Nowicki explores the question in this article, originally published in 2014.

         

by Andy Nowicki  

Jesus famously declared that “No man can serve two masters,” by which he meant that devotion to truth can never signify a middle-of-the-road, safe, or moderate stance; instead, it binds one to a radical trajectory of belief and behavior which cannot be compromised.

Christ, however, was referring to a choice between an unworthy master and a worthy one, the former being “mammon” (that is, worldliness); the latter, God. What about when the choice is between two would-be masters, each of whom is plainly unworthy, even if the one might be—relatively speaking—slightly less unsavory than the other?       

IF THE NEOCONS ARE WRONG, WHY ARE THE RUSSIANS ACTING AS IF THEY ARE RIGHT?

by Brett Stevens

Trump struck Syria, and the Alt Right lost its mind. They had hoped that Trump would go farther to the Alt Right, when in fact he has always been a moderate who likes cultivating opposites under his roof so he can pick the right decision on a case-by-case basis. Key fact: the man still believes in democracy and diversity. He is step one of a hundred back toward health.

By the same token, it is foolish to describe this as a strike on Syria when it was actually a warning to Russia. Trump blew up a few older planes at an airfield where Russian personnel had been present. He gave the Syrians time to remove all equipment and people they cared about. He warned the Russians in advance. This was not a military strike, but a signal to Putin: go no further.

HOW SYRIA CAN WIN ITS WAR WITH AMERICA

Assad points to where the war is heading.

by Colin Liddell

It's happened. Trump has done the unforgivable and gone to war with Syria. There seems to be a lot of anger and sheer disappointment in the Alt-Right about this. But the Alt-Right is nothing if not "dialectical," i.e. able to step back, appreciate the multifaceted ironies of the situation, and look at the bigger picture, and the bigger picture here would be the chance this incident opens up to inflict a defeat not on Trump or America—although that might also be involved—but on the whole mythic apparatus of American interventionism and thus globalism.

The first irony that stands out is that Trump/ America/ the Cult of Interventionism is using this action to "look strong," when in fact it was the act of a weakling and coward.

PUTIN VS. THE NATIONALISTS

An Interview with Russian nationalist Dimitriy Savvin

by Dace Kalnina

Dimitry Savvin is a Russian nationalist, who has gone exile due to his pro-Ukrainian activities. The formal reason for his persecution might seem surprising for a part of Western nationalists – his active position against mass immigration ("fueling of national hatred") was a pretext for opening a criminal case against him.

THE DONALD AS DON

THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY
AS "GOOD GANGSTERISM"

by Richard Wolstencroft

I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. 

Did Donald Trump win big in November or what? This was just as I predicted here at Alternative Right way back in the early doubting days of February 2016 with my prescient and prophetic Metapolitics of Winning essay - and also augured in my Get Trump essay on the beginning of the Fake News phenomenon and the unending attacks on Trump. Also in a third essay on the possibility of some Globalists switching sides to stand with Trump. This all came to be.

So, here I am with my next prognostication - the Donald will be the Don. Yes, he is going to be a Corleone-Family-type President, and, far from being a bad thing, that is going to be something good, although with a few dangers for America and the World. Allow me to elucidate.

"SHADOW RECRUIT": HOLLYWOOD'S REVAMPED RUSSOPHOBIA

This article was originally posted in February 2014; it is republished here in light of the recent alarming ramp-up of tensions between the United States and Russia (with a Western media largely complicit in a poisonous revamped Russophobia), and the possibility of a proxy war, or worse, breaking out in Syria should Hillary Clinton become president.

by Andy Nowicki

Kenneth Branagh’s Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is not a great or even a good movie, but the fact of its very dubious celluloid existence attests to a very real social phenomenon: the attempted ginning up, by certain powerful and influential American lobby groups, of a new Cold War with Russia.

THE DONALD VS. KILLARY: WAR OR PEACE?

"We came, we saw, we died"

by Antonius Aquinas

Although history does not exactly repeat itself, it does provide parallels and sometimes quite ominous ones. Such is the case with the current U.S. Presidential election and the one which occurred one hundred years earlier.

The dominating question which hung over the 1916 campaign was whether the country would remain neutral in regard to the horrific slaughter which was taking place on the European battlefields in probably the greatest act of mass insanity ever recorded, World War I.

QUIETLY SIDLE AWAY FROM TURKEY, FOLKS

by Daniel Barge

The good thing about using proxies is that when things f**k up, you can throw then to the dogs and pretend you never knew them. That is more or less the correct attitude to have towards Turkey at the moment, after the hair-trigger shooting down of a Russian aircraft after it zipped into a tiny sliver of Turkish airspace for a few seconds.

A few facts:

According to the Turks, the Russian plane crossed 1.7 miles of Turkish territory before it was shot down. That would have taken a few seconds for a supersonic Russian jet, giving the lie to the other part of the Turkish story that they had repeatedly warned the Russian plane about intruding into their airspace.

PUTIN READING ALT-RIGHT?

Boots on the ground.

by Colin Liddell

Back in December 2014, Alternative Right published The Failure of Putin, an article that criticized the polices of Putin's Russia from a strategic point of view. The main criticism was that Putin, by concentrating on slivers of the Ukrainian border and neglecting the opportunities offered by America's essentially fragile Middle Eastern position was playing a poor game of judo, effectively pushing the twin pillars of a naturally divergent post-Cold-War West together, and thus ensuring Russia's continued inferiority. As I wrote at the time:

"As a judo aficionado, Putin should realize that if you push directly at a larger opponent, you are more likely to help him keep his balance than throw him off it. In effect, this is what Putin has been doing with the West."

AN INTERVIEW WITH ALEXANDER DUGIN: AGAINST UNIVERSALISM

Would you buy a tapestry from this man?

by Rémi Tremblay

My recent articles have been critical of Eurasianism, and have raised a few questions. Alexander Dugin, the author of the two books referred to in my articles, has kindly offered to answer them.

Rémi Tremblay: In the West, Eurasianism seems to seek to ally itself with nationalists. However, in Russia nationalist groups like the ones that support Russia in the West were crushed and repressed. What can Western nationalists learn from that repression?

Alexander Dugin: Eurasianism works with different groups who are against liberalism, North American hegemony and Modernity as a whole. These groups can be right or left. It is most important to be against liberalism and Atlanticism. But Eurasianism is not nationalistic—it is a Fourth Political Theory, ideologically similar to the European New Right of Alain de Benoist.

Few leaders evoke as much fascination as Vladimir Putin. In a world led by mediocrities like Barack Obama, David Cameron, Stephen Harper, and the other poltroons of political correctness and monotone rhetoric, the athletic and mysterious Russian president stands out.

Enigmatic, strong, and unapologetic, this former judo expert and secret service agent has many in the West wondering who Vladimir Putin really is. Still, despite its title, Putin Vs Putin: Vladimir Putin Viewed from the Right was not written in order to answer these questions or even to describe Putin’s reign, but rather it was written to give a Eurasianist critique of the Russian president and his achievements.

AVOIDING THE FLAMES OF THE PHOENIX

by Rémi Tremblay

In the East, like a phoenix arising from its ashes, Russia is rising once again. After the Tsarist Empire and the Soviet Republic, Russia is currently experiencing a renewal, a revival forcing us to rethink geopolitics.

For Western nationalists and identitarians, the rise of the country, led by its charismatic and unperturbed leader, Vladimir Putin, is an encouraging phenomenon. It means the end of the unipolar world managed by Uncle Sam. For us, this reshaping of the world means new possibilities, especially seeing that the Russians use a discourse opposed to the faux-human rights ideology so prevalent in the West. If America’s monopoly on power is currently being challenged, the same is true for its dominant values (democracy, secularism, individualism, etc.). Putin publicly justifies his actions with traditional values that are much closer to our own.

THE BOUNDLESS INSANITY OF NEO-RUSSIAN IMPERIALISM

by Duns Scotus

"...trousers wide as the Black Sea..." - Nikolai Gogol 

Russia is an imperialist entity. By its very nature it is forced to be. By the way, an empire, in case anyone has forgotten, is a state that does not recognize boundaries. All the great empires have had this in common, an obliviousness of boundaries, especially when their "vital interests" are concerned. They will continue to grow until they became overstretched or face opposing forces, whereupon some attempt to establish "defensible boundaries" will be made.

The Roman Empire, for example, after being taught a lesson in manners by the fierce German tribes, fixed on the two greatest rivers of Europe as its boundaries. But behind those two front lines, which endured for hundreds of years, lay hundreds of other boundaries that had been trampled underfoot and forgotten. Yes, there are boundaries and boundaries, and, as with anything else, not all of them are created equal.

But back to Russia, a country that has never been able to sit quietly within a given skin. Where does this constant cracking and stretching of its husk come from? The most obvious cause is its geography. It has few if any natural boundaries. Its mountains are in the wrong positions and almost all its rivers flow in the inappropriate direction, being better suited for facilitating transport – and therefore invasion or expansion – than serving as useful limits between states.

“RUSSIA'S ORTHODOX JIHAD” AND THE REFLECTIONS OF AN AMERICAN LIVING IN RUSSIA

by Cainus Maxus

“United States of America was established as a state without traditions. It identified itself with a twisted conception of freedom and felt that its enormous power is due to its global mission. Which means nothing else than exporting its “values” to the world, whether or not it is needed. Since usually there was no demand for it, only the violence left of course hidden under the guise of such nice words as world peace, democracy, liberalism.” 

Gábor Vona of Jobbik, Hungarian traditionalist political party

The American Conservative recently published a blog post with the title "Russia’s ‘Orthodox Jihad'." While it is an interesting presentation of views that are rarely heard in the West regarding Russia, it contains a problematic theory, which states that the push-back against the West is bouyed by the idea that Putin is leading an "anti-W.E.I.R.D." coalition. This is an acronym that stands for "Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic."

PROPAGANDA OF THE NEED: JOIN OR DIE?

Fresh from the fappening.

 

by Andy Nowicki

In Mockingjay Part 1, the latest cinematic installment of the futuristic sci-fi dystopian Hunger Games saga, civil unrest in the kingdom of Panem has flamed into full-fledged civil war. Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence, duly topful here, unlike in her now quite ubiquitously-ogled homemade modeling portfolio) has been rescued from peril by leaders of a resistance movement intent upon deposing the cruel and ruthless President Coriolanus Snow (a scowling, smirking Donald Sutherland) and his regime of oppression and terror.

For the first time, however, we see that the resistance is hardly a ragtag, insignificant, or underfunded outfit. In fact, led by ambitious District 13 President Alma Coin (Julianne Moore) and her right-hand man Plutarch Heavensbee (the late, great Phillip Seymour Hoffman), the rebels dwell in a massive, state-of-the-art underground facility, and have access to a sophisticated apparatus of weaponry. If they aren't nearly as powerful as the military forces which serve the Capitol and faithfully execute Snow's murderous orders, neither are they Ewokian spear-bearing nomads hanging out in the woods, living in thatched huts and fashioning slingshots out of tree branches. While certainly outnumbered and outgunned, this rebellion is nevertheless poised to create considerable mischief and raise unholy hell.

THE FAILURE OF PUTIN

Putin – Dr. Evil or Mini-Me?

by Colin Liddell

Things either have logical coherence or they don’t. If they do, then there is a high chance that every component element is sound and true, each validated by the other. If they don’t have logical coherence, then obviously something is false and wrong, and we can begin the search for the flawed or broken element.

For a long time, those on the alternative right have tried to view Putin as some kind of saviour, as a force for traditionalism and a much-needed opponent to a globalist West run amok. But who is there among us who has not had his doubts? We all have, and those who haven’t can be dismissed as idiots or unthinking Slavophiles.

THE SUBVERSION-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

by Daniel Spaulding

Playing in good faith by the rules of the world controllers earns certain undesirable peoples precisely zero credit. As a case in point, recent elections held in the war-ravaged east of Ukraine have unsurprisingly been summarily dismissed by Washington and Brussels. Any political expression running contrary to the aims and ends of the globalist superclass is denounced as illegal and illegitimate, with selective application of international law the one observable norm.

THE OPIUM OF THE WEST

President Obama outlines his geopolitical vision in an appropriate setting.

by James Harmon

The reality of Russian-American relations is that America has simply bitten off more than it can chew. Whatever criticisms of the Russian president, one simply cannot fault his seizing on the failures of his opponents – like a wolf striking at the neck of a distracted deer.

Strong, decisive and measured, he has systematically shown the West to be foolish, impatient and wobbly; and standing up to Obama is easier in virtually every way, when the idealistic former Western socialist (Obama belonged to a socialist party in his youth) meets a man who actually lived and worked under socialism, and who is no idealistic daydreamer.

GEORGE WILL'S HITLERIO AD ABSURDUM

Conservative columnist George Will is a model representative of his profession. That is to say, he is shrill, completely lacking in imagination and scruples, and feels the need to perpetuate whatever narrative the ruling elite have devised for public consumption.
