Travelogue: Gatekeeper’s Ball II

The structure of this conference is a bit unusual, in that they have a normal room for speakers to give standard speeches. The afternoon, however, is broken up into smaller rooms where three or four famous people will address a topic. Each person gives a ten minute address and then they talk among themselves for a bit. Finally they take questions from the audience. These are held in smaller rooms, so everyone has a chance to ask their question if they like. I attended the session on immigration.

There was someone calling himself Mike Gonzalez, who gave a short history lesson on the origins of racial identities used by the government. He launched into a critique of the Frankfurt School, which had all the guys with yarmulkes nervous. They were talking into their watches, probably thinking they had a live one. Trouble was averted when Gonzalez changed the topic and got to his main idea, which is to remove the race and ethnicity questions from the census entirely. It would just be a simple counting of people.

This is so obviously insane that I suspect the Frankfurt School stuff was some sort of diversion, so the audience would not think his main idea was so wacky. His claim is that by dropping the race and ethnicity questions, set-asides and affirmative action will be impossible to administer, so they will be dropped. Once the benefits of racial categorization diminish, according to his theory, people especially non-whites, will stop identifying primarily by the tribe. We’ll all become Americans.

This has always been the habit of Buckley-style conservatism. Instead of addressing Progressive morality head on, they find an economic or legal remedy to achieve a conservative goal, without confronting left-wing morality. This approach never works, but old habits die hard. Then there is the fact that we would have no way of debating immigration, as we would have no way of knowing the demographic makeup of the country or the individual states…

Another speaker was a women calling herself Luma Simms, claiming to be an immigrant from Iraq. She gave a new age talk on something she calls “rootedness” which is the opposite of alienation. Her basic argument is that immigrants should not be made to assimilate, as the modern American culture lacks rootedness. These newcomers should not be forced to join the consumer race. That’s not a term she used, but it is what she was driving at. She reminded me of a very loud Marianne Williamson.

Mx. Simms provided the most entertaining exchange during the round table discussion part of the show. She said something along the lines of “Immigrants don’t come to America to be absorbed into the culture.” Amy Wax replied, “Then why are you here?” Surprisingly, Mx. Simms was unprepared for the question, but she recovered after a moment and went on a ramble about some hippy sounding stuff. She struck me as someone with a lot of dream catchers in her home and lots of scented candles…

During the Q&A, a few people asked about what can be done to address the flood of migrants and the speakers offered some suggestions. Finally, someone asked, “Since the track record on conservative solutions to immigration is not very good, we have to assume all of these ideas will fail. What is plan B?” The whole room erupted and even the speakers had to laugh. Amy Wax and Scott McConnell are both black pilled on the issue and said we are doomed. The other two had no answer…

Socializing with people here during breaks, there are two groups in attendance. There are normal people much closer to the dissident right than conservatism, but they have just not made the journey over the river. The other camp is the think tank people, media and government functionaries. Washington is a company town and that means there is a social scene. These conferences are a part of that scene. They use these events to network and maintain connections to others in the scene.

For example, at dinner on Monday night, I was seated next a woman who told me she works at AEI. I started grilling her on why she was attending a conference on nationalism, when she works for a notorious neocon outfit. She treated me like I was country rube who did not fully understand the complexity of the issue. The fact is, like a lot of people at this thing, she is here to mingle with friends. Keeping up appearances is an important aspect to the culture of the ruling elite. Instead of court, they have conferences.

That said, I was a bit surprised by the number of these people, who are quietly black pilled on what comes next for America. That sense of being oppressed dissidents makes a lot of sense in this context. These are people who probably came to Washington with the best of intentions, then saw it was a corrupt city full of people interested only in how much they can loot from the system. In other words, from the inside they see that reform is impossible, so whatever comes next will be from the outside…

I have been thinking about why Hazony made such a big deal out of rejecting people like Peter Brimelow, Jared Taylor and Patrick Casey. One reason is he needs to rope in the Christian Zionists, which is why David Brog is involved in this project. Brog is a fanatical anti-white crusader. I heard more than a few people mention that his outbursts about racism were unnecessary and unpleasant. Having a volatile crank like that in the same room as Taylor or Brimelow would be a disaster.

Of course, this event is a sales pitch of sorts. The people from the think tanks and government agencies will report back to their respective home planets and talk to their colleagues about what they saw. If the lizard people I’ve been mingling with the last two days are satisfied that Hazony is not a danger, he can expect support from the community, as well as the donor community. This conference is part of the vetting process for Hazony and his team.

The sales pitch being made is a classic one in politics. The first part is a critique of conservatism, which everyone agrees has failed. Then the question becomes what will replace it as the dance partner of Progressivism. The pitch Hazony is making is that the choice is between his Hebrew nationalism and white nationalism. It’s the same argument Martin Luther King made in his Letter From a Birmingham Jail. The choice on offer is this thing you don’t like or something much worse…

This event has been a white pill for me. I could have done without the civic nationalist bromides and the hooting about racism, but the fact is the window is swinging our way inside the Imperial Capital. That’s not to say these people are going to start reading me or showing up at dissident events. It’s that they have taken the first step in this direction, which is recognizing the threat on their Right is legitimate. They are worried about us, as they know their kids are more interested in us than in them.


Support the media that supports you. While all of us toiling in the fields of dissident media are motivated by a sense of duty, having a place to sleep and food on the table still requires money. Five bucks a month is not a lot to ask. Or, you can send money to me at: Z Media LLC P.O. Box 432 Cockeysville, MD 21030-0432.

The Beltway types are beginning to realize that Nationalism is the future – for both the Left and the Right. They’re trying to corral it in a CivNat form, but that’s so contradictory and unnatural that they’re, of course, failing. What’s more, once whites start to think in nationalist terms, it’s hard to miss the elephant in the living room: Americans Jews who give undying support for their ethno-state of Israel arguing against ethno-nationalism for any other group, particularly whites.

History is moving our way.

To the contrary. If what Z reports is true, the beltway believes nationalism can be safely shunted aside with more neoliberalism. While they are using civic nationalist verbiage and emoting in “blackpilled,” fashion, the sense one gets of the elite is that they have gone all-in with neoliberalism and that is the end of that. The diaspora in particular wants absolutely no part in any legitimate nationalism save for the Zionist variety. And Americans who pledge their last ounce of blood to the people of Israel show no signs of demanding even the least bit of reciprocal loyalty. History is… Read more »

Well, the men with little hats might be able to thwart gentile whites from moving to ethno-nationalism but they’re not going to stop other groups. If gentile whites fail to turn tribal, then we’ll fade away, overrun and integrated into more tribal groups. Sad but nature is a bitch.

Either way, history is moving against Globalism and toward Nationalism. The only question is whether whites will join in the fun or disappear.

These conservatives who are transitioning to CivNats are trying to do it without the race issue. But they can’t keep a lid on it when there’s a constant drumbeat coming from the left, including the media, demonizing white people and white culture, and at the same time, shoving the glories of diversity in our face. How many more white people have recently latched onto racial consciousness after learning 007 is now going to be a black woman?

Up ’till now, that’s been true. But most of the people adopting children are white, and most of the children available for adoption are not white, and of those, almost all are black. And in interracial marriages there seems to be a clear pattern; black males with white females, or white males with asian females. Asian males and black females are rarely part of the mix. They seem to be the least desirable to members of other races. So my example combines the least likely male (asian) with the least likely female (black) with the least likely child (white transgender).… Read more »

The media used to be a one-way tool for our enemies. Every show extolled the virtues of multi-everything but did a decent job of keeping the lid on the underlying hatred of whites from which multi-everything sprung.

Now, the media openly spews its hatred of white even while showing the happy multi-racial couples. The media’s propaganda is cutting both ways, and once a white person notices, they can’t help but get angry. Just wait til the media starts going after Beckys.

Just the sheer number of time they use the term white may backfire, and simply reify the idea of whiteness among white people themselves–or at the very least make it outstandingly clear to white people that they have been singled out as a target. “All you white people with your white privelege and too many whites in professions X, Y, and Z, who have your whiteness…” et cetera.

Maybe I should restate that: History is moving toward nationalism. Whether whites move with it is another story. My own belief is that a portion – anywhere from 10% to 50% – of whites will wake up. So yeah, that’s a lot of dead or lost to miscegenation whites, but many will come out the other side and they’re all that we need. We’re not only our worst enemy, we’re our only enemy.

How was this statement not followed by open laughter from the audience? McConnell and a few others had to look at this guy like he was mentally ill. Is this speaker and the woman who followed him from Iraq a sign they were scraping the bottom of the barrel to fill out their time slots?

2) As a fun aside, if you type that comical name into Google just for fun the VERY first hit is a PDF of outstanding warrants for arrest in Plano, TX. So Ima just throw that out there because… yeah. 🙂 The jokes write themselves, even when they are real.

The capitals of old empires from the Egyptians and Sumerians to the English and Russians were also cultural capitals. They laid the foundations of the civilizations they politically ruled over. Memphis, Ur, Persepolis, Athens,Rome, …London…they are still important not because they simply ruled but because they built the culture. They were all true capitals of civilizations.

Washington, D.C.? Beyond political rule that devolve into a bureaucratic wasteland D.C. contributed what to American Civilization? Almost every place outside of Washington, even small backwaters had more to do with creating the culture.

“Instead of addressing Progressive morality head-on, [Buckley conservatives] find an economic or legal remedy to achieve a conservative goal, without confronting left-wing morality.”

One point that needs to be emphasized to the civic nationalists is that civic nationalism can only function within the context of ethnic nationalism. That is, it originated as a political system of northwestern European white people and can only function among them. I know we like to bash the libertarians here, but I think a redpill moment for many of them (including me) was the realization: “oh, man, this system can only function among high-trust white societies with common cultural assumptions.” In fact I used to think of myself as a “national libertarian,” “libertartianism in one country.” Come to… Read more »

American nationalists need to read the Zionist literature. Much of the ongoing debate about nationalism occurred in the Zionist literature during the early 1900s. Harzony’s position on nationalism was already critiqued in the 1990s to early 2000s in the Zionist literature. The objections to nationalism were voiced in the Zionist literature pre-1930s. The template for the response to internationalism vs nationalism has already been written. BTW ask Harzony if Jabotinsky was correct about the Arabs and Zionism.

Have to add this. The debate on nationalism versus republic federalism was carried out after the American Revolution, with Jeffersonian republicanism (small ‘r’) versus Hamiltonian nationalism.

Representative, self-governance versus a disinterested, unaccountable bureaucracy. Part of the focus was republics small enough to not only assure real representation of the people, but to create a republic of social and cultural interlocking interests. Quite obviously, the abuses of the federal government would not be possible without a humongous crony corporate state too large for real connections to… Read more »

The home arsenal is not for conquering back America, it is for when someone’s shooting at you. Kitchen knives and samurai swords are awfully short when the other guy has a gun.

The comments on Insty and Breitbart would be funny if they weren’t so sad and tired. “They’re not going to like it when we stop obeying the laws!”

>>>the Coastals will try to invite some foreign power to intervene

We’re getting pretty hypothetical here, but the Coastals (particularly of the Eastern persuasion) are the problem in regard to American foreign policy.

The guys in Flyover Country do most of the Empire’s dying, but the makers of US foreign policy have seldom hailed from Iowa or Mississippi.

Moran – the more you read – truly read without feeling you are personally under attack but really look at the logic and reasoning and facts – the redder you will get. Not only was I raised a shitlib, but I moved to basic beginner’s nationalism and patriotism in the mid 80s (too late to vote for Reagan). My husband and I started reading Townhall back around 2000 and we considered it cutting edge. But I have this habit of clicking on links other readers provide and I kept finding all these evil hate sites – many long gone now… Read more »

Yeah, I keep moving ‘red’ and I ll end up making Genghis Khan (a man I honestly admire but OT) looking bleeding heart if that continues, eventually. But the old blue pill still kicks sometimes.

3g4me, you took me down memory lane by recalling Auster, Mangan, and Forney. It was a more hopeless time, but it made those writers all the more exciting. Auster especially had a huge impact on me.

I was overcome with guilt and fear the first time I visited Kersey’s SBPDL.

LineInTheSand: I can’t read SBPDL anymore – it’s like being in a time warp – or, better example – the movie “Groundhog Day.” Constantly rehashing Negro crime statistics and abhorring the inevitable, staggering brutality and savagery they display, and the commenters respond with the usual disgust and anger. It reminds me of Amren – useful for beginners, but if you never move beyond noticing and start to identify the patterns as linked to DNA and thus the logical conclusion is separation at best, what’s the damn point?

More moving Overton Window by Americas Demon Lover; The 45th President. He’s moving it on race. Its ok for white people to tell white hating immigrants to get out. We know cuz Apex White Man just said so. But he’s not racist. He said so. And they’re comments are anti-Israel (the media cannot ignore this dropped penny, they must pick it up). And Kellyanne Conway called them the “Dark Underbelly” of America. But she’s not racist, they are. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/453287-conway-progressive-congresswomen-represent-dark-underbelly-in-this?amp Nothing racist about Dark Underbelly. You liberals just have dirty minds. The Frame is being moved. And he’s getting re-elected in… Read more »

Just started reading “A Book Of Contradictions” (7/14), and found this: “there are only two people I know who have written about the emotional impact of the holocaust on Jewish identity. Me and Hazony.”

Huh. That’s true, and I agree with Zman’s approach-

but they didn’t start teaching about the Holocaust in Israel until 1970.

Not sure what you’re saying LineIn. I’ve never seen that Spencer restaurant video till now. I’m pretty certain Z wouldn’t have sat there with a forced smile on his face letting scarf guy yell at him. I think the time is near that Z will be doxxed, be it malevolent or benign, and he’s ok with it. It’s funny cool when he punks these conferences (except when they’re our own and he should be on stage). It’ll be an interesting world once Z is freed from anonymity. I think that’s what you’re saying.

That’s what I like about the Z-tone.

One of those hardassed NorthEasters who sez “Yeah? So? Like you finally noticed?” whenever a raving conspiracist like me starts the spittle flying.

Cool as a cucumber. Not surprised by any of the wickedness. He just sits there with a poker face, saying, “ok, tell me more.”

Spencer didn’t know what to do, he froze. You stand the f*** up and move into the bozo’s space like you frickin’ mean it.
Like Saml Adams said, it becomes a binary decision.

I would think they pick their dox targets carefully. Ones without the intellectual heft to fight back, which is why they always pick debates with lesser minds.

The girl in the second video seems to have a bit of crazy going on (but what woman making youtube videos for a living doesn’t). I suppose calling herself a libertarian gets her the attention she is craving.

Fellow Doomed White People: Our only Doom is the Doom of all men: you must fight to survive. You must fight to keep what’s yours when invaders and traitors reach to take it away. That’s eternal. Every generation of men. Now the app for survival your looking to download is: your Balls. As it happens you have to fight to literally keep them attached as well. Its not easy solution but it is simple. The list of preconditions some search for BTW; A lynch mob. A safe bet that involves violence. Well maybe you’ll luck out, maybe not. You don’t… Read more »

My instinct is that vxxc is actually a girl trying to tell her guys to ball the hell up. I might be be totally wrong about that, it’s just a hunch. But I think it is the girls’ prerogative to tell guys to ball up.

Moran ya Simba said: “But I think it is the girls’ prerogative to tell guys to ball up.” That kind of thinking is why MGTOW exists. If the women want the men to stand up. Then the women need to shout up and and be ladies. Men respond in a masculine way to a feminine women, but nobody wants to be around a bossy cu-t.

You’re expecting a woman not to throw you shittests?? Good luck lol Shittests are actually healthy, and feminine, female behavior. Defensive, aggressive reaction to them is not healthy male behavior 🙂

This is not a PUA seminar lol But no, you should not respond strongly to shittests. If you respond strongly you show that they struck you or were a big deal.

You go ballistic over important issues like infidelity and stuff. But a chick tryign to push the males in her herd to be more dominating, that’s actually healthy chick behavior.

Last nite, Batchelor and Chang were speculating that Trump’s tariff war might bring down the Communist Party.

Let us hope the Golden Golem brings our factories back. That would be the biggest blow to the HSBC debt-finance empire, and it’s globalist creators. It would also cut the plastic ocean trash, as well.
