THE NEXT LIZARD KING

"I am the lizard king. I can't do anything."

by Colin Liddell

Every once in a while you see it. Some bright spark, who, through overwork, over exposure, or taking the wrong chemicals at the right time, ends up frying his brain while also activating his messianic lobe. The most famous example is the legendary David Icke, once a humble TV presenter, who woke up one day, looked into his bowl of corn flakes, and decided that the world was run by shape-shifting "space lizards."

THE CHE GUEVARA OF SUGAR CANDY MOUNTAIN

Russell Brand is fast becoming a political joke. The multi-millionaire, who is currently dating heiress Jemima Khan, was recently seen stripping off and calling for a "peaceful revolution" at a rally in London. This provides an excellent excuse to re-run Colin Liddell's article on the bearded freak from October last year.

The big political news story in the UK at the moment is the political ranting of Russell Brand, a recovering(?) junkie sex maniac celebrity, who was recently invited to guest-edit one of the country’s most respected left-wing political magazines, The New Statesman.

Brand has essentially two “Big Ideas,” which can be summarized as follows:

(1) Normal politics is shit. The only hope is the left-wing, but they are smug, self-important, and have no sense of fun, so it’s no wonder that people are apathetic and prefer sport and computer games to politics.
(2) We need a spontaneous, grassroots, Utopian, spiritual revolution to share all the wealth and save the environment. P.S. I have a personal fortune of $15 million and constantly use jets. 

While the first idea plays to lazy cynicism about politics, the second substitutes pop yogi mysticism for practical details. 

THE TRIUMPH OF NEGATIVITY

by William Solniger

A common theme on the radical Right is the dilemma over whether to pursue mass political campaigns in the service of our goals, or devote time and effort to organising and educating a smaller group which can separate itself from the sewer of Western culture so as to act freely in the future. On the whole, the overriding tendency is to reject mass political action as unworkable or premature. This is true not only of those who hope to see a restoration of Traditional values in the West, but also of those who confine themselves to the sphere of nationalism and ethnic self-defence.

While I tend to agree with the diagnosis that political action is premature, it is important to note that this is the case only as regards converting the masses to some positive political movement offering a particular solution to the crisis of the West. Converting them to a negative rejection of the current system is another matter entirely, and it is this possibility that I wish to explore.
