Sunday History Lecture: The Growth of Islam

Pour yourself a coffee, and sit down to learn yourself some History from Dr Bill Warner this fine, Sunday morning. 91% violence, 9% peace.  Honestly, this shocked even me. Facts: I’m just a Fact Man. File under “Religion of Peace.” H/T: Theodore Dalrymple Forum

The Crusades and investing in Silver 4

The Crusades and investing in Silver

A couple of videos I wanted to share with you guys. The first is an excellent video about the Crusades, from a Historian whose YouTube channel focusses entirely on the Crusades. You’ll often hear the Atheistkultist go on about how the Crusades prove that religion is violent, and it needs to be eliminated… unlike Atheist regimes like Pol Pot, for instance (Holodomor? Never heard of it!).  It seems that Atheistkult is utterly unable to distinguish one ideology from another; believing in anything is bad, they say, and all ideologies are equally damning.  So they believe in the John Lennon “Imagine”...

Dancing in the Rain and Honour Killings

Bill Whittle, from PJTV, speaking about Inconvenient Truths: Not to be pedantic, but I have a bone to pick with what Scott Ott (the first speaker, after Bill Whittle) says in this video.  Quote: …because I know that’s what happened over the years and the centuries in the Christian church, that the extreme elements were preached against, were outcast, were shunned- This is not an attack on Mr Ott (whom I’m sure I agree with on most things), but rather this sentiment I hear again and again – that Islam is Christianity from 1000 AD, that Islam needs its own...

Generational Theory & the Upcoming Crisis 11

Generational Theory & the Upcoming Crisis

There are some pretty bold claims made by myself and others in the alt-right, but they’re not without data and theoretical backing.  This is a long video, but I tried to keep it as intellectually-dense as possible.  Generational cycle theory points out that we’re in a crisis, whose resolution will arrive sometime around the mid 2020’s, and there are several factors which show how unsustainable this whole thing is.

A History Lecture

It’s an hour long, folks; brew yourself a pot of coffee, turn up the volume, and do some house work. Critical G’s channel. Fringe Elements, Leftism is the inheritor of Christianity. My novel, As I Walk These Broken Roads – link on the right. Yes, that is snow you’re seeing outside my window; winter is coming.

The Intellectual Paucity of Historians 3

The Intellectual Paucity of Historians

The other day – Good God, has it been three weeks already? – I wrote what was probably the worst post I’ve ever tossed up on this blog.  It was utter speculative nonsense, with no solid bases in Historical Fact, I made no real attempt to cite anything in it, and despite it’s High Probability of Truth it’s nothing to be proud of. But you see, I had an ulterior motive in posting it; I am now going to use it as a vehicle to point out the intellectual paucity of most Historians. *** Back in the day, I made...

The Death of Militaristic Nationalism 5

The Death of Militaristic Nationalism

So the other night I was sitting in the dark, drinking my whiskey, rocking out to some Lynyrd Skynyrd, and just generally letting the thoughts bounce around my head, when something struck me- In the past two-hundred years, I can’t think of a single inter-state war that accomplished anything. On and off, I’ve been brushing up on my history with the Khan Academy – a site hosting professional University lectures, which I highly recommend (though, like University itself, you should take them with a grain of salt).  I’ve been going through the lectures on the French Revolution, and that’s what...
