Yesterday I spent most of the day watching videos interviewing Ed Calderón. In the intellectual bubble in which I find myself (I live in a large house overlooking a garden), I have tended to despise everything about the country outside my bubble insofar as it is not an Aryan country. But recently a person very close to me had a problem with one of the drug cartels.
I thought they hadn’t yet arrived in the Mexican capital to try to extort money from civilians, but the anecdote disabused me and made me do some research. This long interview with Ed Calderón, a former Mexican police officer who speaks perfect English, portrays the situation magnificently.
Incredible as it may seem, it is less risky for someone like me to live in a cartel country than in Europe, if we remember what happened earlier this year with two commenters on this site who were jailed in the UK basically for thoughtcrime (just as others who more recently posted racist comments on Facebook were jailed even though their protest at the murder of English girls was legitimate).
So, for the moment, I am safer in the country of the drug cartels, which are already beginning to exert their influence in the great Mexican capital, than in cuck island!
HE SITS IN THE TRAIN brooding, a few days after his nineteenth birthday in October 1919. There is a young couple seated opposite. He noticed them earlier, on the railroad platform; they are married, and he envies them. He is visiting Eichstatt, a town popular with pilgrims. It has a castle, built by mediaeval princes and clergy—‘impossible with today’s wages and workforce,’ reflects Heinrich Himmler, the teenager. Twenty or more years from now he will command a slave-labour force of millions building much vaster structures.
He has brought along something to read, Friedrich Schiller’s 1784 pamphlet on ‘The Stage as a Moral Institution’—a call for playwrights to purify the German language; both are disciplines after his father’s heart, and the Classics professor may well have pressed this reading matter into his hands. Lingering on rather lower ground, Heini has brought along a ghost story, The White Hand, to read as well.
He and Gebhard are visiting castles and monasteries and family—rattling along on the narrow-gauge railroad to Rebhard-Hofmühle station, and then on to the majestic church at Eichstatt, where their uncle Karl Patin has been a priest since 1894 in the famous abbey of St Walburg’s, named after an English Benedictine missionary whose bones rest here for over twelve hundred years. Uncle Karl is just back from officiating at a funeral, and he invites them in for tea.
Heinrich Himmler is still getting to know his family in October 1919 as he prepares for his years of higher education: men of the cloth and Classical academics, that is his milieu.

Did you mean to post this comment in the other thread (about ‘might is right’)?
What I have been trying to say for years with these New Testament (NT) posts is that white nationalism is too primitive a movement as far as Christianity is concerned.
For example, even a Catholic apologist for resurrection dogma like the British Ian Wilson, with whom I have, by the way, exchanged some correspondence in the past, was able to recognise the analysis of the NT that has been made of it since Reimarus in Enlightenment times.
White nationalists, on the other hand, have ignored that work which is centuries old and which now culminates in scholars who have abandoned the Christian faith such as Dennis MacDonald and Richard Miller (both of whom were fundamentalists in their youth and were educated in Divinity Schools learning ancient Greek, since the original NT is written in that language).
The fact that American white nationalists have been unable to at least acknowledge the existence of a whole field of study—the exegesis of the NT since the Enlightenment—is emblematic of why I am so critical of them. After all, if the Jews wrote the gospel that ought to raise our alarm systems!
To take just one example: MacDonald, who, I reiterate, began his career as a fundamentalist and ended up a rationalist, deduced that the motivation of the evangelist Mark seems to be to put Jesus above the Homeric heroes Hector and Odysseus. He even goes so far as to use the word ‘transvaluation’, which we have used here in the sense of the inversion of values! (I mean how Christianity transvalued the healthy Aryan values of the Greco-Roman world to the subversive Semitic values of the Jews.)
Uncle Adolf and his ilk thought that Jesus had been a non-divine Aryan who fought against the Jews in the Temple in Jerusalem—see this recent video interview with Hitler scholar Richard Weikart.
But now, in the darkest hour for the fair race, the only thing that can save them from the extinction facing them is a sort of improved National Socialism: a NS in which, unlike the top Nazis of the Third Reich, those of the 21st century no longer believe in the existence of Jesus.
And as Benjamin said yesterday, the biggest problem we 14-word priests (i.e., ‘improved Nazis’) have is the fact that American white nationalists are acting as gatekeepers to keep any Aryan racialists from moving into the NS camp (and let’s not talk about the improved NS).
Although very brief, on Saturday I posted the entry ‘Literary Theft’ which links to a video demonstrating that the writers of the New Testament plagiarised a story from Homer’s Odyssey. Now I would like to add something. Anyone who has read Gospel Fictions by Randel Helms will find that that was the method the Jews used in many other New Testament stories!
So the conversation between Dennis MacDonald and Richard Miller is so fundamental to understanding the POV of this site, that I can’t resist the temptation to copy and paste some of the first comments of that YouTube video:

Commenter 1 said: Great to have these two scholars converse and share not only an application of mimetic analysis, but also to reflect on the way the study of religion is conducted in academia. Many thanks for these episodes!
Commenter 2 said: Blasphemy law and tradition against blasphemy is what kept people from saying and talking about the parallels. People are afraid of hell.
Commenter 3 said: And… you’ve unlocked the key to ‘blasphemy of the Holy Spirit’. To say the gospels and Acts were patterned after Greek mythological stories, the tragedians, etc., is to say that they were written by evil plagiarists… instead of by holy and devout men who wrote down the truth as guided by the Holy Ghost.
Commenter 4 said: This is traditionally what happens when New Testament scholars aren’t versed in ancient languages and cultures. Once a biblical and ancient Near Eastern scholar understands these aspects, their entire worldview of the New Testament as well as Homer changes them in a way they can’t unsee.
Personally, though I once had, I have no hope that any of the Christian conservatives could ever be deprogrammed. Reading the way they talk, that Jesus fanaticism, the sheer pig-headed resolute doubling down of it… they’re gone; sealed.
What is the dissident right/WN [white nationalist—Ed.]/conservatives doing online these days? Are they consoling each other, or going to convert/reprimand their ‘leftists’, or trying to recruit normies? They are normies, really, but normies paradoxically aren’t them, if that makes any sense. All I can think to do is hope that there are people out there who just find your site, as I did, as really, I don’t think any amount of well-crafted good words can convert anyone to it. As you said before regarding the worldview, they are born National Socialists (or at least proto-NS and can hone themselves) or they are not.
When the world breaks down in collapse, these groups are enemies, just as much as anyone else. My gut instinct even tells me it’d be easier to reach out to progressives than conservative or WN Christians. The progressives at least have some mad passion, some genuine belief in something (and are incredibly naive as opposed to affectedly world-wise like [a popular WN Xtian–Ed.] et al). The Christians are merely cynical know-it-alls pretending to be enlightened. They’re craven and obedient to authority.
If these Christians and WN could be publicly embarrassed more (particularly the type of those who try to have their cake and eat it with both Hitler and Capitalist Christianity), perhaps it would draw leftists away to gloat over this, and poke them in public, and humiliate the former unbearably. WN are, to me, indubitably, the most dangerous to our success of all white factions.
It would be hard to let leftists have access to these materials but they’re binary and can be flipped. Normies otherwise, I feel instinctively, in this country at least, are only conservative to the degree that renders them all somewhat nationalist, in the BNP sense; the football hooligan sense; and then, inevitably the Patriotic Alternative sense. They can do no more. As I say though, I’ll just see who comes out of the woodwork. I thought of that civil war film you showed the other day.
I’m not sure if they’d realise it, but I wish it was them in those pits. More than leftist progressives. Keep the normies as normies; they are not good enough to be ‘radicalised’, even in juvenile capacity to the level of the showboating cynics. Two different development trees then, and one demographic who will never be developed, or put to sense, and must just be removed, somehow. All these Christians are as Muslims to me.
P.S. I meant that WN are the most dangerous in that they tie up leftists (and render them angrier and more hurt) and encourage normies to promote themselves (where the latter can drift into the conservative camp also). Obviously the most empirically threatening are the conservative Christians (and the huge herd of normies from the normie -> WN/conservative Christian pipeline, with the WN acting at both promoters and gatekeepers, keeping their new recruits firmly away from proper NS ideas). Inadvertently, they function like hostile counter-countersubversives.
Unknowns, and the odd leftist growing up and changing his mind are the only option I can see then, in terms of numbers gathering. I don’t actually know how many genuine National Socialists there are.
My impassioned ‘Marxist’ friend says that since talking to me, and thinking about it a bit, he’s “no longer so far left”. We talk amicably now and again. I know he reads my articles. He seems like he understands a revolutionary mindset easier.
In another video where MacDonald talks with Miller we see how the Jews wrote the gospel. Anyone who doesn’t want to read these scholars should at least listen to them for a couple of minutes from this point!
This dialogue on paradigm shifts between Dennis MacDonald and Richard Miller, two New Testament scholars I respect, can be extrapolated to our topic.
The current paradigm in white nationalism is that Jewry is the cause of Aryan decline.
We, on the other hand, believe that Jewish influence is only possible because of the mortal sins of the Aryans (cf. for example what we have said about Constantine and Charlemagne in Deschner’s books, PDFs of which appear in the featured post).
White nationalists, mostly Christians or Christian sympathisers, ignore the new paradigm: they are stuck in the old one. For the paradigm to change requires the old generation of racialists to perish, and a new generation to be more willing to put the religion of our parents in the dock.
For the moment, the intellectual inertia that gives life to the current paradigm comes from the pundits of the most visited racialist forums, regardless of the fact that that paradigm has already been superseded, at least in the minds of those racialists who are more understanding of what is really going on (e.g., Velasco’s diagnosis of how the West’s dark hour originated: his essay on Judea and Rome).
Damon T. Berry, in his book Blood and Faith: Christianity and American White Nationalism (Syracuse University Press, 2017), devotes a chapter to Revilo Oliver, concluding that ‘Oliver hated both conservativism and Christianity… because they equally represented to him an ideological poison that was alien to the best instincts of the white race to defend its existence’.
As far as sociology is concerned, we must either abandon our reason, or abandon Christ.
He is pre-eminently, the prophet of unreason — the preacher of rabble-rabies. All that is enervating and destructive of manhood, he glorifies, — all that is self-reliant and heroic, he denounces. Lazarus, the filthy and diseased vagrant, is his hero of heroes; and Dives, the sane, energetic citizen, is his ‘awful’ example of baseness and criminality. He praises “the humble” and he curses the proud. He blesses the failures, and damns the successful. All that is noble, he perverts — all that is atrocious he upholds. He inverts all the natural instincts of mankind, and urges us to live artificial lives. He commands the demonetization of virtues that aggrandize a people, and advises his admirers to submit in quietness to every insult, contumely, indignity; to be slaves, de-facto. Indeed, there is scarce one thought in the whole of his Dicta that is practically true.
O, Christ! O, Christ! Thou artful fiend! Thou Great Subverter! What an amazing Eblis-glamour, thou hast cast over the world? Thou mean insignificant-minded Jew!
Why is it that our modern philosophers are so mortally afraid to boldly challenge the ‘inspired’ utopianism of this poor self-deluded Galilean mountaineer, — this preacher of all eunuch-virtues — of self-abasement, of passive suffering?
The sickly humanitarian ethics, so eloquently rayed forth by Jesus Christ and his superstitious successors, in ancient Judea, and throughout the moribund Roman empire, are generally accepted in Anglo-Saxondom as the very elixir of immortal wisdom, the purest, wisest, grandest, most incontrovertible of all ‘divine revelations,’ or occult thaumaturgies. And yet when closely examined, they are found to be neither divine, occult, reasonable, nor even honest; but composed, almost exclusively of the stuff that nightmares are made of; together with a strong dash of oriental legerdemain.
Through a thousand different channels, current politico-economic belief is dominated by the base communistic cabala of the ‘man of many sorrows;’ yet as a practical theorem, it is hardly ever critically examined. Why is it that the suggested social solutions promulgated by Jesus, Peter, Paul, James, and other Asiatic cataleptics, are accepted so meekly by us, upon trust? If these men were anything, they were crude socialist reformers with misshapen souls, preachers of ‘a new heaven, and a new earth,’ that is to say, demagogues — politicians-of-the-slums; and out of the slums, nothing that is noble can ever be born.
As agitators, Jesus and his modern continuators shall be exclusively considered in these pages. However, it must be distinctly understood that the spiritual and temporal in all cosmogonies, are so intricately interwoven, that it is almost impossible to completely divorce them. Like the Siamese twins, Gods and Governments are inextricably bound together; so much so indeed, that if you kill one, the other cannot live. Hence the open or secret alliance, that has always existed between the politician and the priest.
Whatever their primitive purity (or impurity), all operative creedal philosophies are essentially civil and military codes, police regulations. ‘Religion is a power, a political engine, and if there was no God, I would have to invent one,’ said the great Napoleon. In letter and in spirit, Christianity is above all things a political theory, and a theory that often takes the form of raging hysterics.
Religions are the matrix in which public institutions are generally moulded. This has ever been well understood by the dominant leaders of mankind, from Numa to Brigham Young, from Solon to Loyola, from Constantine to the lowest Levite hireling, who gets paid in dimes and cents for his unctuous mock — dithyrambs.
I thought they hadn’t yet arrived in the Mexican capital to try to extort money from civilians, but the anecdote disabused me and made me do some research. This long interview with Ed Calderón, a former Mexican police officer who speaks perfect English, portrays the situation magnificently.
