STICKING IT TO STALIN: OPERATION BARBAROSSA AND THE SAVING OF THE WEST


Today is the anniversary of the German invasion of Russia, known to history by the name Operation Barbarossa. This was the start of what was undoubtedly the most titanic struggle in human history, between two incredible fighting machines, the German Wehrmacht and the Soviet Red Army.

EYE FROM THE RIGHT: "THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE"


Contemporary Media seen from the Right



Be careful what you wish for, so they say. Well, in Alt-Right circles, the idea of the Axis winning World War II might have some appeal. That’s what makes this Phillip K. Dick adaptation so compelling and even thrilling. It takes a look at a United States conquered by the Axis, and some of the intrigues this generates.

The geopolitics is certainly fun: everything from New York City now with a giant SS Building in the middle of it (echoes of Trump Tower?) all the way to the Mid West finding its "inner Teuton" as part of the Greater German Reich. There is also a thin sliver of "Free America" – a kind of no-man’s land or DMZ, the natural place for renegades and refugees – stretching from Denver down to Mexico. Then there is the West Coast, where instead of a patronizing interest in Zen and sushi, the Golden State and a few others are all part of the Empire of Japan. So, far so good!

ALTRIGHT PODCAST (1): LOST VIOLENT SOULS


In the very first Alt-Right podcast, Andy and Colin are joined by John Morgan of Arktos Publishing and the mysterious "Charles," whose identity remains a closely guarded secret to this day, to talk about the passing of two men who died on the same day, Nelson Mandela and Colin Wilson.

While one was lauded by every outlet of the mainstream media, the other was practically ignored. We also plug Andy's new book Lost Violent Souls and alternative history novels.
