The Origins of the Banking System
By Kasredin: In order to understand how banks work, it helps if we go back in time and explain how banks first came into existence. The topic of inflation is linked to the development of banks. As a teenager I studied the Elizabethan era in history lessons at school, and I remember reading that prices rose sharply during this period of English history. I wondered why this happened, but my history textbook did not explain.…
A Dangerous Trend
By Colin Liddell: Solon ‘the Wise’ earned his sobriquet when he repealed the laws of Draco in early 6th century Athens. Before then, the laws of Athens had decreed death even for minor offences. Solon realized that if every crime meant death, then a criminal might reason that it would make sense to murder and steal rather than to just to steal; especially if murdering the victim improved the value of the theft and its…
The Root Of All Evil
By Heordreedenn: There is a thought experiment – at least I hope it’s a thought experiment – concerning the best way to boil a frog. Apparently if you just chuck the hapless amphibian into a pan of boiling water it realises immediately that all is not well and jumps out at once. But if you put it in a pan of cold water, and heat it slowly, it never notices what is happening, or at least if…
Building a Survival Mechanism
By Frederick Dixon: The other day my son was watching one of those American cartoon shows – I don’t know whether it was “American Dad” or “Family Guy”, and it doesn’t matter. I was in the room, but reading and not paying attention until the words “you don’t want your daughter marrying a black man” made me prick up my ears. On the screen were three white people in a car – the elderly grey…
A Brief History of Democracy
By Kasredin: During the nineteenth century there was a struggle in this country and elsewhere to achieve real democracy – or, as it was then termed, universal suffrage. There was a groundswell of opinion that every man should have the vote, and some people even felt that women should not be excluded. Parliamentary democracy took a long time to gain popularity. The first parliaments were held in the thirteenth century, and were basically a way…
China Engineering Genius Babies
By Max Musson: While scientific work in the West continues to be constrained by the dogma of human equality and therefore focuses predominantly on relatively expensive surgical and medicinal therapies to retrospectively improve the condition of individual humans, the Chinese, free from such dogmatic constraints are employing state of the art gene sequencing technologies as part of a state sponsored eugenics programme aimed at achieving significant advances in the quality of their future generations. BGI…
‘Der Landser’ Discontinued
By Max Musson: In an article that we published on 14th August this year, entitled, ‘Jewish Sensibilities & the Commemoration of Heroes’, I reported that a campaign was afoot to deny German boys and girls the right to celebrate the heroism of their forebears by reading eye-witness accounts of Wehrmacht soldiers who fought often valiantly during World War II. The Bauer Publishing Group publishes three magazines that present such stories; ‘Der Landser’ (The Squaddie); Geschichte & Wissen’ (History and Knowledge); and ‘Militär…
The Radfords – An Inspiration!
By Max Musson: Unless one visits a school it is quite rare nowadays to find oneself in a setting in which there are more children than adults, and even then, one often finds that a disproportionately large number of the children are non-White. It would appear that many White couples have decided to forego the pleasures of parenthood – have chosen to behave like eternal teenagers as long as nature will allow – have decided…
The Path to Power – Be Under No Illusion
By Max Musson: For more than a century, British nationalists have believed themselves to be the vanguard of a resurgent national spirit that had somehow become dulled and dormant through comfort and complacency, but which remained latent, still potent, and ready to be revived once the clarion call was sounded, heralding a new ‘golden age’. During the early part of the last century there was cause to believe that this self-image was correct and it…
Dear John …
By Max Musson: Occasionally our readers leave comments that tempt me to provide a longer and more significant reply than would be normally appropriate for our comments sections and today we have received such a comment, which I have decided to make the focus of this article. The comment reproduced below, which was posted in response to an earlier article of mine entitled, ‘Money-Power, Money and Power‘, is one of a series with a similar…
