It is Fourth of July here in the empire and our rulers will be out congratulating themselves on their wonderfulness. The late Washington columnist Robert Novak used to say that he “loved his country but hated his government.” That was my sentiment for a long time as well. The orchestrated celebrations with politicians and other state actors always made me wince, but I could still feel the stir when hearing myths about the founding or stories about certain patriots from our history.
That last part has faded for the most part. If we take Ben Shapiro at his word, patriotism just means a love of ideas. If that is true, then there is no reason to have an emotional bond to the state or the history that created the state. The celebrations and flag waving around holidays like Independence Day are wildly out of line with his conception of patriotism. Instead, your emotional bond should be to your people, not the conditions in which they temporarily find themselves.
It is ironic how many on the Right now hold the same view of patriotism that the Left used to hold a generation ago. Just a few decades ago it was the Left that said patriotism was a con to keep people from noticing what was happening. In the Bush years, they said dissent was the highest form of patriotism. Today, they put dissenters in prison on trumped up charges. They orchestrate elaborate plots to frame people for schemes that were cooked up by state actors.
I talked about that Revolver story in the show. It reminds me of the old gag about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election. “People would stop believing these conspiracy theories about Clinton if they stopped being true.” It is increasingly looking like the so-called insurrection was another hoax. Protestors did clash with cops, and they did barge into the capitol, but it was at the direction of state actors. That does not absolve them of what they did, if any of it was criminal, but it stinks, nonetheless.
It is not just the issue of patriotism. Look at how attitudes have shifted on the issue of corporate power. A generation ago the Left was the alleged enemy of big business, while the Right offered a limited defense. Bill Buckley famously said that “the problem with socialism is socialism, but the problem with capitalism is capitalists.” The roles are reversed now. The Left, which has now absorbed the Buckley Right entirely, loves big business and they use it as a weapon against the Right.
We have traveled far since the heyday of Conservative Inc. There you have a sitting senator asking corporate America to crush the democratic process. No one thinks it is odd that a Democrat is the one doing it. The entirety of corporate America is now far Left by the reckoning of the day. The same is true of sports leagues, which are happy to punish locals for getting too uppity with their masters. This Independence Day, I feel like Jeremiah Johnson in the final scene of the movie.
This week I have the usual variety of items in the now standard format. Spreaker has the full show. I am up on Google Play now, so the Android commies can take me along when out disrespecting the country. I am on iTunes, which means the Apple Nazis can listen to me on their Hitler phones. The anarchists can catch me on iHeart Radio. I am now on Deezer, for our European haters and Stitcher for the weirdos. YouTube also has the full podcast. Of course, there is a download link below.

I would be very happy to join a meetup in New England.
Let me have the honor of bringing the comment count to 300
We got some mileage out of this one !
There has to be some hidden meaning here too.
Z Saw your latest post on Gab, always had you figured for a Evola type and I was right. The problem with monarchies is that you are born in what amounts to a caste and you die in it. With the vast amount of people being serfs who had nothing, it meant a dreary, hard life and with retirement of dying while tending the crops. That was a reason why Europeans fled into the new world to escape being no more than a land lord’s peon. My mother literally grew up in such a environment in Galicia as a Polish… Read more »
Points all well taken. I’d counter with the idea that a hard life is what most people need or they wither away. Daily struggle actually gives their life meaning. When we achieve a life of leisure, we fall apart. Look at us now. Case in point. Perhaps there is some happy middle ground. I don’t know. But I know that as of today, white people have little meaning in life or something worth fighting for and at the same time are weak and listless. I’m certain the two are related. Granted, I’ll never be a politician selling something so grim.… Read more »
“What most people need is a hard life…” Is where greed comes in. Even when you have enough and life is easy, we want more. Enough is not enough for whom enough is not enough. Tom Brady. Rich guy, loads of money, beautiful wife, life is good, could easily retire, but the old man will play another year, get beat up some, all because of greed, and he doesn’t want someone else to win a Superbowl. Heaven I. Life is easy. No struggle. Immortality. Boredom, no escape. Heaven II. Life is hard. Life is struggle. Mortality. AKA, planet Earth. Heaven… Read more »
Rwc1963: stunting the development of the lower classes through a compulsory mass schooling modeled how a factory operates to produce a worker that was just literate enough to read the shop manual and obey his boss I could easily write a 100,000 word effort poast essay on this topic, but even Z wouldn’t be that patient with me. The tl;dr would have been that the work of the The Giants of the 20th Century – Hervey Cleckley, John B Calhoun, Edward T Hall – was supposed to have been undertaken in the hope of IMPROVING the lives of children, not… Read more »
your understanding of feudalism and serfdom is woefully misinformed. have you read even a single chapter on it?
Z, I follow you on Gab and know that you are a wholy different beast in that medium.
Keep roasting those goddamn stupid civic nationalists! It’s hard to overstate how foolish they are and how much they impede our progress.
As dumb metal band said back in the day, “K1l7 th3m @lL!” Not kidding although not attributing that sentiment to you.
Dear Z man, I always enjoy your website and podcast, and I always find your thoughts intellectually stimulating. That being said, I’m a little surprised at the amount of time you spent discussing the author who asserts Jesus’ disciples were part of a Jewish conspiracy against Rome, and that the miracles attributed to Jesus may not have happened since Roman/ and local authorities didn’t make more mention of them. This whole argument can be dispelled by one question….Why would 11 out of 12 of Jesus’ disciples (one was never “captured), willingly be tortured and killed for Jesus if they did… Read more »
As Chesterton said, it’s like being told to find swans that are black, only to have them disqualified as swans because they are black. There are literally four contemporary historians of Jesus who provide fairly detailed documentation of his life (plus Josephus references him), but this isn’t considered good enough because there arent five contemporary historians. Nevermind that Jesus’ life is better documented by contemporaries than nearly every single person living prior to the 16th(!) Century. Ultimately, it’s a rationalization for disbelief, not a bona fide consideration of evidence.
As either the voice of materialism, rationality, or “”the timely advocate of the Devil,” as Nietzsche dubs himself in one of his book introductions, please permit me to briefly make that case. The best argument I’ve ever read against miracles is Hume’s “On Miracles.” In a nutshell, he asks, when offered an account of a miracle, what is most likely: Were the laws of Nature suspended (which is another way of saying that God made an exception to the rigid established laws of how the universe works, in effect, requiring even more complexity to explain the Universe’s operation), or is… Read more »
When we have doubt; and can’t find an adequate argument in between our fallible moments (as believers are often prone to) we don’t have to worry ourselves too much as the apostles of Hume, Darwin and Nietzsche have already given us the answer we were never going to question in the first place:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ESma2oWNo
But miracles do happen. Small ones sometimes, mainly. If life were purely rational we would not be the creatures we are. We’d be automatons.
But we aren’t.
And as the old saying goes, Friends don’t let friend be automatons
Zman you can count on me and a few of my friends attending your meet up in New England.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKAuhbAeztA
YES! Love the reference. Fuck you, Ben Affleck!
Nice of Mr. Zblogman to give his audience a way to feel useful by leaving comments. Cue Ralph Wiggum meme.
That would actually be a great topic for content. Various ways we might do activism. Is there more to saving the west than being a keyboard warrior?
By what measure and compared to whom?
Assume Z works with the Feds. What do they expect in return? * Names * Fatten the dossiers that they already have on us * Make arrests * Gather intell. What are we thinking? * Early warning system What is the evidence? * Circumstantial * How is it that he remains hidden? (Maybe he is not?) * Location in the shadow of the Imperial City Who benefits? * We benefit from the dialogue, the exchange of information, ideas, books, camaraderie, just plain fun of interacting with like minded people. * They benefit from more intell, mostly redundant. Conclusion Not likely… Read more »
The Stasi is starting to get a bad rep that is spreading widely within the Normie community, and that has them concerned. The revelations about the Jan 6th false flag OP are particularly damaging and that example cannot be swept under the rug easily, no matter have much mewling & disinformation the MSM is peddling. That said, the Stasi is the Stasi, and being paramilitary, they follow orders. Apparently someone has decided to back off on some of the overt entrapment OPs and focus instead on web-based subversion initiatives, hence the corrosive comments blast. They do this because it actually… Read more »
The Czars secret police wrote The Protocols of the Elders of Zion to defame Jews. This round about way came back to the NAZI invasion of the Soviet Union. While this did not end well for either, if Z is an agent let’s hope the government’s own propaganda effort backfires them too.
If Z works for anyone, it’s the Church and to nurture in people an appreciation for and understanding of catholic- or orthodox-centered economics and culture. And he doesn’t have to be under their employ, but achieving those ends the same inadvertently. People like myself who have spent time in the Catholic Church or in the Orthodox Church might also catch a whiff of the incense and candles burning while on this blog, with hymns in Latin quietly in the background. I mean this as a high compliment.
Verdict: Z Man is a Knight Templar
😉
Z’s expository style definitely comes out of a legalistic tradition – that’s obvious. Which, statistically speaking, would likely mean that his sympathies lie with either Rome or Jerusalem. OTOH, from what I can tell, the history of Athenian/Syriac popery is simply fascinating, especially as it evolved in Mother Russia. Those dudes in Russia were having knock-down drag-out fights about the tiniest little minutiae of interpretation you could possibly imagine [and some you couldn’t even imagine]. I am convinced the Frankfurt School realized this, and used that passionate factionalism to drive a wedge between the various Russian camps in the years… Read more »
That book, also called “Protocols of the Learned Elders,” is fairly short and an amusing read. It’s a pretty transparent fiction, unless you’re REALLY gullible. The Jews are tarred with the default stereotypes: world bankers, power brokers and so on. I’m surprised they weren’t made out to be diamond merchants too. Of course, now True Believers will think that I too am one of Them, some powerful agent merely masquerading as a retired computer geek, cleverly concealing his Jewish faith and ancestry with atheism and Nietzsche quotes 😀
Just got done listening to the podcast. Z-man, you sound chipper and happy! Have a good weekend!
This Agent Z palaver has me feeling so lol Im gonna put the flag up on the porch now.
Agent Z don’t forget that whooyey.

Recall the Righteous Kneegre$$ from a few days ago, who was screaming b100dy murd3r at the White tranny which ventured with its exposed appendage into the lady’s room in the spa: https://files.catbox.moe/606y5x.mp4 Well today, moar ladies in the greater SoCal area were having a public protest in solidarity with Righteous Kneegre$$. And guess who magically materialized out of nowhere to put an immediate end to their protest? https://files.catbox.moe/tdw9gz.mp4 The Tranny agenda must be massively important to the Frankfurt School & its Deep State subsidiary if a sanhedrin when to all the trouble of phoning up George Soros and ordering him… Read more »
Taking your post at face value, which of course is a more polite way of just admitting I’m simply too lazy to check your references, you make an interesting point. I’m working my way through Caldwell’s “The Age of Entitlement.” If his claims are true, then many of the civil rights cases that ended at the Supreme Court, since early 20th century, were brought by activists, early ones by the NAACP, ACLU and suchlike. Up to the modern day, the case that legalized gay marriage was similarly staged. In other words, many, perhaps most of these cases are deliberately designed… Read more »

Just remember that Antifa organizes with the full might of j00gle/f@cec0ck/tw@tter/instaho/Fort-Meade behind their backs, whereas, at best, we’ll be organizing via Carrier Pigeons.
So Antifa will have a massive organizational advantage over us, at least right up until Xi launches several thousand thermonukular EMP devices at North America, and destroys all of our electronics, once and for all.
Moral of the Story: Make sure your mission critical Passenger Pigeons don’t have cardiac pacemakers…

Since it’s On-Topic…chaos-confusion / paranoia / traps. And in many of the comments below. We should do a poll on whether we think Zman is connected to the Feds. It’s funny-not-funny that a number of long-time followers of Zman have doubts. From reading and listening to him for about 4 years now, I don’t understand how one could harbor any suspicions. Perhaps I’m naive. There *are* some vaguely noteable data points re. his unusual existence, promotional adverts, etc. But for me, reason and especially intuition renders a strong Innocent verdict for Z. But just for fun, I offer a poll.… Read more »
D. They already declared that we are all the biggest threat to America and the alphabet agencies together with the Non-profit sector already knows that he is in a Secret Handshake Society and he is very clear in his messaging exactly what he believes so there is no way he could be vetted for a government contract or a big business and not already be identified and he claims he hires employees who are not on this side of the great divide so they would all end up reporting him the second they got a recommended video or podcast. None… Read more »
Don’t quit your day job Inspector Gadget, you are a fairly shite detective. You also seem to have a serious hard-on for this topic in a way that I actually find –you– suspect more than Z. That is odd, isn’t it? It is like the people who are yelling the loudest about child abuse and join these organizations to prevent it end up being the biggest kiddie fiddlers around, that type of thing. Always be wary of the guy screaming the loudest. The far left and their ilk are the poster children of this phenomena. Anti-fascists are fascists, anti-racists are… Read more »

No. I just starting thinking about how I really got on this meme-war path. I used to be a solid Democrat. Donating to candidates on ActBlue and totally into it. From Clinton onwards. I demonstrated against the WTO and threw rocks at cops at the RNC conventions etc. But one day, a few years ago, I got a recommended video and then a recommended podcast and then Spencer, TRS, Enoch, Z Man, Amren, Kersey, Flaherty, Suidlanders, Duke etc. I think they tagged me as being in the correct demographic and began the state sponsored process of radicalization, as they have… Read more »
Cliche
I’ll give you a B for energy but a D for creativity
Here’s the thing. The left is allowed to protest and be violent. Sure, people get arrested, and in the past they’d even get convicted, but it’s been state-sponsored for a long time.
That didn’t happen in Waco, Ruby Ridge, Malheur. As soon as anybody on the right gets uppity, the feds swarm and kill people, Bundy Ranch being a notable exception.
It’s a whole different ball game, with different rules. And you might ask yourself why tptb would try to steer erstwhile leftist radicals to the right.
One of the ways to get off the “meme path” is to remember the advancements of white people in history. we were the first to sail around the world. We were the first to walk on the moon. The printing press, anesthesia, vaccines, electrification of the world, the automobile, the airplane, the telephone, splitting the atom, the computer, the Internet, sequencing the genome, and just about everything else worthwhile in the world: white people, white people, white people. The left is right: it is a privilege to be a member of the white race. Only American white people fought a… Read more »
Well said. I suspect that there is more than a little jealousy and envy at work in the way other races view Whites. Enmity between groups is human, and even animal nature. But it’s a fact that Whites have some amazing accomplishments and others may by turns admire, emulate, or simply be envious.
I’m going with A. Zero chance Z has any enemy connection. In fact I reckon the Z in Zman stands for zero chance of betrayal. –I used to be pretty sure they knew his identity. But it’s possible he has many official and unofficial identities or lives. His real identity may have gone to the grave with his mother. –Have the feds contacted him or laid hands on his person. Do they know where he resides? He could be some kind of elusive savant. I think he used about 4 modes of transportation just to meet Derb for a cup… Read more »
No.
He’s American 🇺🇸.
I’ll go with D just because Z is involved in national politics and you’re bound to bump into feds when you swim in those waters. Not saying he’s an agent or anything like that. Even your local cops run intel. It goes with statecraft. And just because you’re known (I’m sure all of us are) doesn’t mean you’re targeted for destruction. The state is not monolithic, and statecraft is basically riding the tiger. Maybe this group should be suppressed, that one promoted, that one destroyed, co-opted, fenced in, etc. Maybe a group can’t be suppressed, so the state has to… Read more »
@Paintersforms. Good comment. Things are probably more complicated and nuanced than I know. Re leading players in any movement. In light of your comment, let’s put it another way. On a sliding scale. 1 to 100. The bottom 10% being outright narcs. The 10-20% being self-centered weirdos who sell-out as a matter of course. Milo. Spencer. 80 to 90. True to the cause. May talk to the enemy / feds if it helps the movement. Perhaps informing on those within the movement that he deems actually hurt the cause. The 90-100 True O.G.’s Old style Mexicans and mafia who by… Read more »
My spidey sense isn’t tingling, but that’s all I can say inasmuch as it’s not really possible to know someone from a blog and podcast.
Something to consider: it’s very possible a lot of leaders are in the 80-90 range. There are a couple of names recently brought into question along these lines. Just speculating, but probably better people than the 10-20 crowd, yet here we are.
“My spidey sense isn’t tingling, but that’s all I can say inasmuch as it’s not really possible to know someone from a blog and podcast.”
I beg to differ. How many words have we read and heard him speak? Millions. Years upon years. If that isn’t enough to form a solid opinion then one’s spidey senses are blunted by cynicism or outright paranoia. Many on our side take pride in their battle-worn distrust. But it can be a flaw. A weakness.
Trust but verify is all 🙂
And I didn’t mean to imply I think Z is in the 80-90 range. I don’t get that impression around here, not from him or the regular commenters, which is why this is the only place on the internet I regularly comment.
From Yarvin aka Moldbug, who being born a Foreign Service Brat understands the Beast ..’Empires do not die on their own–they have to be killed.’ “As a Foreign Service brat I grew up in the bowels of the Empire and have also studied its past.

Thanks for the link, I can probably tolerate Yarvin in an interview format. He is overly wordy and tiresome AF when given the full run of the place. He has interesting ideas wrapped in purposefully opaque word salads. The fact that Sigma male is mentioned in article is not a good look but not surprising. Perhaps he styles himself a mini VoxDay who is simply ‘outside it all’ but yet the alpha brute that all the chicks would swoon for if he simply cared & participated. 🙄🙄

Tater Joe flew to Michigan today, to appear at a farmers’ market store with Gretchen Whitmer. Either she’s in a lot of trouble politically, or else they had Nielsen ratings which indicated that Saturday July 3rd would be the perfect time to get Tater Joe out in public for an official appearance which no one would ever actually watch. Now here’s the point – Tater Joe couldn’t remember his lines, and he had to reach into his coat pocket to get his Frankfurt School script, but even then he couldn’t read the words which were printed on the paper: https://files.catbox.moe/14e9i4.mp4… Read more »

Finally got around to the podcast, been working the must-do list. Yes, the Stasi will always run UC agents & CIs into dissident groups; it’s the fastest promotion path in the Bureau. And these snitches will often lead the way into criminal activity because that’s how they manufacture the biggest busts. The main purpose is sheeple intimidation and deterrence, but they also relish the persecution too. And yes, NSA hoovers up everything on the electromagnetic spectrum, and then employs AIs to screen & flag leads. Most entrapment stings originate at NSA. And don’t let the Constitution fool you, they have… Read more »
there is an interesting (and humorous) episode, related to the topic of FBI infiltrators, from the 1950’s. L Ron Hubbard was having trouble with the IRS, so he had some of his people join the IRS and act as spies and so forth.

Zman, if you ever wanted a subject for an amazing American character study, L Ron is your man. From the… Read more »

I lost much of my patriotism during the Vietnam War. It wasn’t just the lack of justification for the war and the corruption around it, it was also the daily apathy of the populace concerning the expense and slaughter. The Vietnam War was also, to my knowledge, the first time the middle class and above made it clear that the working class was expendable. The college deferment kept middle class and affluent kids nice and safe. They didn’t stop the working class from supporting the war. That apathy and sacrifice of the working class caused me to never fully feel… Read more »
Man, never thought of it like that.
That’s ultimately what got me off Christianity too. It’s a belief system that is financed by people at the top to fill the bleak void in the underclasses and give them a motive for defending places like Israel that in no way benefits them. Growing up in a working class community where people at the top force you out of work by closing down every single means of earning a living I felt this all the time. They ruin your future and hand you a bible as compensation. Pointless. It’s easy to see that they tried to do the same… Read more »
So what do you believe? We need something numinous to bind us together, no? Religion acts a a glue. Atheism, Wokeism, Nihilism are all solvents that dissolve glue. That is why there is no room for religion in Marxism. Force, the power of the state is what what holds the people together, replacing the glue.
I don’t think we are living in a time where it pays to believe anything. The are looking to stigmatize white guys. Anywhere you drop your anchor is the place they will bring the battle.
That is why there is no room for religion in Marxism.
Well, except for that One Very Special Religion to rule them all,
One Very Special Religion to find them,
One Very Special Religion to bring them all,
And in the darkness bind them.
In The Promised Land, where the shadows lie.

Christianity is not a set of beliefs; It is a set of EXPERIENCES.

The good old USA is that ship and we have decided to let the band play on.
My Comment: I lost much of my patriotism during the Vietnam War. Like I was saying recently in these parts, Vietnam was one of the greatest Psychological Warfare victories for the Frankfurt School in the last 5000 years.

To celebrate this fourth, gather with family and friends to talk politics. Correct your Civnats, laugh at the libertarians, and crush the commies. The influence you’ll have may take two generations. You may not live to see the next dawns early light. But someone you talk to may have a son who, will launch a strike against our imperial cities, and free our nation.
I can’t have my own kids but I’ve been blasting my many nephews with the horrible truth about America for a long time. ~50% conversion rate so far. Their mothers’ thinking I’m a commie because I have a job in “the arts” and then me being a different kind of lunatic than they expect has improved my percentage. Element of surprise + “If he can be a right-maniac and make a good living in left-world….”
If you can do nothing else, be an example for your boys.
Hemid: I can’t have my own kids
Obviously this is none of my bidness, so feel free to tell me to go jump off a cliff, but are we talking about trying to honor an oath “to forsake all others” with a chick who has really nasty fibroids or cysts or similar?
Or did you yourself have testicular cancer?
Because under “normal” circumstances, you ought to be able to impregnate a chick right up until the moment you croak.
Rdz: crush the commies… strike against our imperial cities… Since the 4th of July has always been something of a militaristic celebration, then maybe this won’t be too much in the way of thread drift, so here goes: For their 100th anniversary video, apparently the Chicoms couldn’t even be bothered to use authentic Chicom footage, and so they STOLE footage from their arch-enemies, the Brahmin Street-Defecators: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3972990/posts I don’t know whether there are any chinamen who follow Z, but dadgummit, that shiznat out to be friggin EMBARRASSING for y’all!!!!!

Hey Z man, happy 4th. The last minute or two of the show, when you commented on the loss of that old-time patriotism, really got to me. I haven’t flown a flag since Obama’s re-election in 2012, when Lawrence Auster – dying of cancer – put it best: “It’s their country now.” I will always be grateful that I grew up where and when I did. We had it all, but it’s squandered and lost, and there is no going back. Nor is there any mercy in history. The Iroquois lived here, on my spot of the world, 250 years… Read more »
Nugent’s “Buffalo” ranks as one of the great stadium live guitar anthems of all time, in my opinion. It’s just one of those songs that begs you to play it at a volume that will make the Police visit you 😀 Alas, the storied Great White Buffalo was a no-show for the Indians. Somehow, I’d expect he’d be even less likely to put in an appearance for the race that very nearly eliminated the Bison just because they were convenient for target practice. Love them of hate them, Crosby and/or Stills and/or Nash and/or Young, as I like to call… Read more »
You fly the flag for people who died for it. got fucked up and crippled for it so stupid motherfuckers like you can make comments like that. Your history, heritage, the people who got you here, the shit they went thru, that’s why you fly the flag. It’s got nothing to do with the government, shithead.
You might consider laying off the internet for a few days Dennis. You are triggered.

“Cortez The Killer” is exactly as you say: a fantastic piece of music, with insane, inane lyrics. I feel the same way about Bruce Hornsby’s “The Way It Is”.
I haven’t watched an inning of MLB this year but happened to take a look at the Twitter feed of my long-time favorite team the other day. Saw that the logo had been rendered in rainbow colors and chuckled to myself. It was confirmation of having made a sound decision to quit cold turkey.
Steve W: fuck… Chevrolet… If you go back to the vintage trucks, and their diesels, then you’ll be looking at a whole lotta 2-stroke “Detroit 71” engines, with anywhere from one cylinder [the 1-71] to TWENTY-FOUR cylinders [the 24-71]. And if you get yourself an old rig with a 2-stroke 71 – such as, say, an ancient White Mo Co firetruck to drive in the 4th of July parade – then you’ll be polluting the air with so much black smaug that all your friendly neighborhood sh!tlibs will be screaming for your scalp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxLb3Yqqds4 ^^^ After a few minutes, I… Read more »
Neil Young’s best work on guitar set to lyrics he wrote in high school iirc.

BREAKING: Trump issues four-word press release: ‘Who shot Ashli Babbitt?’
If only we had a President to ask these things…
Did he? Seems like a thing he might say—then stop saying any related things forever because his favorite daughter might be offended.
Don’t know where to look for Trump statements, but I’ll buy it because he so reminds me of my father (whose several wives were all mean-girl Jews): good man, weak man.

No need to read Skrbina’s book, Zman; not only can you rely on my review, https://counter-currents.com/2021/05/fables-of-aggression/ but you’ve already figured out the scam: he has no evidence whatever, instead relying on “Jews are bad, and this is just exactly what you’d expect them to do.” In my review I compare it to “The Underpants Gnomes Theory of Profit” on South Park. Scholars that disagree “just want to sell their own books” so I guess he doesn’t need to sell any either. His response to my review was along the same lines: calling me a “Jewish apologist.” Maybe I can use… Read more »

For those interested, there is a lady website that shows the white population by county for any state you choose from a pull-down menu. So anyone thinking about buying a remote cabin or something, could find it useful.
But if you want to get depressed, check out the new 2020 Census for the major cities. In 1940s and 1950s they were all pretty much 90%+ white. Today, most are under 50% non-hispanic white. Many in the 20% to 30% ranges.

Off topic: A recent email to a friend of mine on the East Coast.
My friend in CdA says that there is lots of restaurant work but no affordable place to live. In a year, Idaho has turned into coastal California. All those rich Californians who laughed at me 6 years ago for moving to a dumb, inbred state are trampling each other to follow me. I am not pleased.
Damn it, this was supposed to be a response to https://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=24282#comment-255167
I doubt if there’s ever going to be a white ethnostate in North America. The federal government would stamp it out of existence post-haste. With nonwhite immigration continuing unabated, though, something’s gotta give.
Something is giving- whites.
Who is the real fool? I linked the video last week (or did I just read it?) about how you can just pitch a tent on the beach in California (e.g. Venice) and live rent-free. Of course, the board walk and other local businesses are not helped by the homeless, druggies, crazies and assorted released felons. Nor has the COVID shutdowns helped their economy. There’s probably not much work even if they wanted to give up those unemployment or other “basic income” bennies. But hey, the climate is gentler than Idaho! 😀
San Fran has just re-upped their financing for their tent park for next year.
Cost $60k per tent.
All the Panjeets working for google are spending their tax money wisely.
So mad about this, but it’s as pointless as being mad at the rain.

Frip – you’re vesting a lot on a stranger- I don’t think he is either.
I don’t think we magically rise because we change minds either.
I think he is like a tiger in a zoo. He wouldn’t be allowed to exist if there wasn’t a big fence.
Big fence and a small yard and Tucker too.
We can say as we like anonymously as long as the Rulers can do as they like, they can.
Frip: For me, there is zero chance that Zman is anything other than as he presents himself.
If Z is what I think he might be, then he’s doing something an helluva lot moar sophisticated than what I had thought originally.
He would definitely not be an ordinary glow-kneegr0w; he’d be way up higher in the Deep State than that.
We’d be talking a very expensive whitestone in Georgetown, or an estate in McLean/Fort-Meade.
Annapolis would be too long of a commute without access to the private roads for The Special People.
Based on the stories Z Man tells, which anyone who listens regularly can piece together: He owns some kind of tech business that does contracts for businesses and the government. Has or has had full-time employees, including a secretary or administrative assistant (so there is a lot of money involved). Had a few technical/corporate/office jobs early in his career. Lives in Baltimore. Grew up catholic and working class. Is deeply immersed in Secret Handshake societies and well known throughout including at Amren. He is in his 50s. He is not very big or athletic. Does not appear in photos or… Read more »
In the past I’ve considered all the points you just mentioned, and a few others. They are worth noting, but do not add up to much actually.
I agree. For the most part the audience is elderly and nobody is saying we should anything in particular except drink chaga and visit a bed and breakfast. Not exactly the white people’s liberation front planning to strike a blow for freedom or whatever.
Everything ya’ll are positing is completely in line with my theory. American Citizen 2.0: probably the main handler of the guy who started the oath keepers Like I’m saying, if Z is a glowie, then he’s high level.

Z Man’s full name is available if you know where and how to look. I will say no more.
I heard him say that, physically, he is pretty big/stout
Where did you ever get the impression he was small and not athletic lol
But that said, if you have proof that he is not on the level, then present it. Because all this wild speculation is going to do is kill the blog and make people want to avoid it. So if you want to ruin the blog, then proceed.

Step back and reassess the quality & especially the quantity of your intel.
I’m a Dick when I need to be. And only. Enough people have told me that I must respect their opinion. I don’t think Zs anything but what he presents, so no he’s probably not a Fed, etc. I do think he’s mistaken on the usefulness of changing peoples minds. What is needed is an end to talk and organizing. Yes, I’m that guy. Certainly being paranoid and atomized is useless.

Absolutely agree. Now that they have dumbed down the broadcasts to the lowest common denominator the manipulation and controlled messaging is totally obvious and it ruins the fun entirely. Also, just a tip for the uninformed, the news they put on the channel website corresponds to what they are saying on air at the time. So you don’t have to sit through an hour.

I will add that while I think the ruling elite will get their violent revolution they so ardently desire, it will not turn out the way they think. For one thing, foreign powers will grab off large chunks of America fighting a violent revolution. China is likely to take Hawaii. Russia, Alaska. With perhaps some of the Pacific Northwest. A society with a violent revolution led by the Upper Class against the lower classes cannot fight off such power grabs. For another thing, while the Managerial Class is good at certain things, it has failed completely and absolutely in every… Read more »
Watched the video. Probably a USA presenter would have been banned. I’ve read about this in books before. “Morons” is impolite of course, but largely accurate. If you’ve read about the Bell Curve you know that average Black IQ ~= 85, which is very close to the cutoff for normal military recruits. So, by definition, any lower scores rapidly approaches borderline retarded or worse. No wonder it was a disaster.

What nobody has explained is why, if they are composed of like 30% of their population as being just retarded, they are able to function at all at service level type of jobs? Seems like a disability that if it was really solved would liberate everyone else.
If you’ve read about the Bell Curve you know that average Black IQ ~= 85, which is very close to the cutoff for normal military recruits.
If you call an IQ of 93, moar than half a standard deviation away, “very close” to IQ 85.
At IQ 93, you MIGHT be able to master long division by hand [with a pencil and a piece of paper].
At IQ 85, you’d be rather hard pressed to remember all the entries in the 11×11 matrix which gave you the non-negative integer values of N + M; 0 <= N, M <= 10.

I have not heard the show, but my sense is the FBI looks for something that is not there: “insurgents” and all the rest. It is not there because of who and what we are. We are, for the most part, middle and working class people and we WANT stability. We want to keep on working at our jobs. We want stable prices and wages. We want security and safety. We want to be mostly left alone. We want to live like a Vermont College Professor. That is what we want. We don’t want to go marching in the street,… Read more »
You have perfectly described what the kids these days call “white fragility”. You are fragile, like a rare vase, where if you are disturbed in any way it’s a catastrophe. The reason the elites “want” chaos is that they are trying to show you that white fragility does not set the norms here anymore. They can live with disturbance and disorder and their cultural norms reflect that.
White submissiveness I’ll buy but not white fragility. Still finding the bottom.
Are you sure we aren’t fragile? I found my bottom and there’s a crack running vertically the entire surface 🙂
Ben, we’ll find out who’s fragile when the veneer of civilization cracks.
Just accept that there are violent criminals and homeless drug addicts living in the shopping mall parking lot and what’s really the issue? Those crazy people always existed. Mow your lawn. Grow your nest egg. You are fragile in the sense that you are freaking out at the signs of disorder. They used to have skid row with tens of thousands of homeless dudes dying of alcoholism and so forth. It’s not like there was this glorious time of clean living and happy people.

If you have blood relatives with addiction problems, you should not imbibe any alcohol or any drugs. The closer related they are or the more blood relatives that there are, the more you shouldn’t take any drugs or drink. Certain ethnicities should lay off the booze too.

I will never forget the unanimous applause the legislatures gave themselves for surviving a guy putting his feet up on Pelosi’s desk. Tainted by a commoner!
It’s the courage under fire that’s really inspiring us all to rally behind the Lady Bosses and their minions. Diversity is like a big strong man with hairy arms snuggling us to sleep.
With a little advance-thinking a real insurrection could have carried the day. They are hysterical because of a sense of being caught flat footed. The next insurrection will be a lot more difficult.

the music of every decade except for the past 2 seems to have a distinct sound to it
That’s because most of the “music” from the past two decades does not involve instruments or singing.
There’s still good stuff out there but you have to dig for it. Top 40 is definitely toast. So much treatment on everything. Somehow even music is being dehumanized.
A few years back, I went through all the Top 10 hits of the last couple of decades, searching for a recent pop song which would be appropriate for children to play on their musical instruments.
The ONLY song I found with an identifiable reproducible melody was The Plain White T’s “Hey There, Delilah”.
Everything else was simply noise.
PS: Apparently that dude never got within a country mile of ackshually dipping it in Delilah herself.
Moral of the story being that Betas write the songs & Alphas score teh p00nt@ng.
Download Shazaam app to your phone. Play any song you want and it will listen and tell you the name and artist.
I did some malt extract brewing back in the 1990s. I nominate added hops during the boil for one of the world’s best smells 😀 I could never fully recapture the aroma, even with good brands, and drinking several liters in an evening. It’s wasn’t for lack of trying!
Your weed comment is interesting. Probably just by coincidence, hops is the plant most closely related to cannabis.
We’re currently keester-deep in an IPA fad. As one who likes more balanced, classically-styled ales, my options at the brew pubs and beer cabinets have been limited in recent years.
Before that, the craft beer industry was all about “Belgian-style” beers.

I was never a National Review reader. The only ex-member of the stable I follow is Derbyshire. Given NR’s multi-year history of purges, you’d think that a magazine/web site would have sprung up, whose claim to fame was it hired those writers evicted from NR and other captured legacy media.
Derb, Steyn, VDH, Buchanan. That would make a pretty good start at an expat site.
Cuckbyshire ???
(((Steyn))) ???
Victor Davis “Quivering SIMP Voice” Hanson?
Patrick “Muh Temple of teh Beautiful People 1-6 Obscenity” Buchanan?
THIS. IS. WHY. WE. LOSE.
smdh-ing
All of those silent/boomer mossad-lapdog existential meta-cuck traitors can go straight to Hades.
Mark Steyn is not Jewish. You’re just another ignorant Jew-hater who makes stupid assumptions based on someone’s name.
Can you name any writers under the age of 70? I literally quit reading Buchanan because he is an irrelevant geezer and I can predict practically every word he writes. It’s like listening to a friend of a friend’s grandpa talking about why we lost in Nam.
“[In place of NR], you’d think that a magazine/web site would have sprung up.” It did. The American Conservative. And it ended up similar to NR. Not as bad. But bad enough.
I like VDH in a sort of “well-read grandpa kind of way but the fact that American Greatness doesn’t allow comments (at least as far as I have seen when I read his stuff on there) makes it a no-go for me. This last year has been people at the top talking down to us but giving us no effective way to talk back. Obviously some billionaire wants us all to hear more from VDH so he is given a platform. That billionaire, whoever it is, couldn’t care less what we think and hence… no comments allowed! Yuck.
AG is owned by one of the three conservative NYT opinion columnists against whose publication the woke staff has NOT revolted.
Fake and/or gay.
Unfortunately, VDH is basically a Griller with a slight edge to him. As such, he really has nothing of great worth to say to the DR. Too bad, because he’s certainly intelligent and a quality writer. There was not a better commentator on 9/11 ca. 2001-04 than VDH. His essays from that period were small masterpieces.
VDH is better at documenting how far we have fallen than telling us where to go.
If a thousand pajits typed on a thousand typewriters for a thousand years, they could never write anything as shitty as Kevin Williamson writes daily.

Back in the 1980s, the military’s “Stars and Stripes” newspaper had a cartoon series named Cpl. Kev. It was delightfully irreverent towards the Service. One panel ran about like this:
New solider: “Hi! I’m new in your unit. Let’s go smoke some hash.”
Kev: “Um, no thanks, I don’t…”
New soldier: “No problem. Let’s black market our cigarette and liquor rations!”
Kev: “CID? [Criminal Investigation Division}”
New soldier: “How could you tell?”

I acknowledge most of the reasons not to meet listed by commenters. For me, I take calculated risks because I feel I a duty to work with those of my people who see the same threats as I do. Maybe some of those who have sat out will come to feel that too.
Although I’m one of the “don’t get involved” types, I often point out that if you have posted here, maybe even if you’ve just lurked, you are in fact “meeting.” Unless you have taken extraordinary steps to shield your identity, it is likely the Feds, or at least their Brown Shirt volunteers in corporatocracy, maintain files on us, or could easily get our real identities.

I’ve met a couple guys in real life via online meetups. Just do simple stuff like trade pics first, do the first meet on neutral ground and so on.
When you look at the chumps that the FBI entrap, they really are chumps. I remember in one case, the pretty female informant asked the chump to buy & bring a copy of ‘Mein Struggle’ to the meeting at which he was arrested. Hardly a sophisticated operation.
Sounds very very gay.

It reminds me of the modern Aspergers, on the spectrum industrial complex we’re dealing with now. Every one I know has a kid on the spectrum. My nephew who is a little shit is now living on a compound in Utah because he “ doesn’t pick up on social clues “after playing video games in a dark room for 12 hours a day. I’m getting too old to drink. The recovery isn’t… Read more »
Yep. They call nerdy behavior Asperger’s and forbid bullying, which only stunts children more.
Should be a spicy time in most cities, Chicago already has 100 shootings this week and the forecast is for sunny and upper 80s Saturday and Sunday. The youths and teens are going to be getting crazy.
One dividend of emasculating the heat is that the nuggras will have even freer rein to thin their own ranks.
354 kilt with 1975 lit up in The Onion City, Chicago.
Yes, they are thinning their own herd. (84% black and 4% white victims).
Lil Kim Foxx is making your friendly neighborhood Klansman blush.
I’m already looking forward to Diversity Heretic’s report on the monkeyshines.
Great reference to Jeremiah Johnson. That scene captures the feeling perfectly.
Yes, my thought too. It is an extremely sad and poignant scene at the end of one of my all time favorite movies. “I hope you’ll fare well.”
It’s one of my favorites as well. It’s one of those rare movies that when I see it’s on, I flip over to see which scene is playing, and then I end up watching it to the finish. There are better movies that I don’t do that for.
Z never misses a chance to take a dump on the alt-right. Sad.
My Mossad handlers require it.
“Wait – what? Z is the rat?”
“Always was,” he said, raising his pistol…
It could be worse Z.
Have you heard of RAW?
That’s India’s Intelligence Service.
Think about that.
Let’s just hope mike Enoch doesn’t write a book.I’m pretty sure he’d bump mike cernovich off the #1 spot. Maybe a tie. Every one gets a trophy! From the J Edgar Hoover gift shop that is.
If you conflate Enoch and Cernovich then you’re not tall enough for this ride.
Sure, Enoch is a cantankerous half Serb, but he is the purest and most intelligent expression of white identity that you will find, with all due respect to Z and his Russian roots.
Thought to myself, maybe your right, I’m open to criticism. Pulled up a few minutes of Shoah. Lots of discussions about Ed Buck, Buck Breaking, and Pin worms. Dho !
I’m not saying he’s perfect, but consider speeches like https://nationaljusticeparty.com/2021/04/18/the-lie-of-limited-government/
Even the people on the inside have to deal with plants, snitches, and backstabbers. These are the trappings of power. It’s necessary to get over it.
(Says the nobody with an opinion. Draw your own conclusions 🙂 )
Drinking is social? Could have fooled me! Sadly, I’ve been roped into a couple 4th of July events with baizuo of all ages. At one event a baizuo family will bring Asian Fumi salad to share. In other news, I have a six-figure corporate job being thrown at me. The issue there is that I would need to take the jab and be a good company man to perform in the role long-term. I don’t need the money, but doubling my income is of great interest. I’m asking strangers on the Internet because my close family has not been a… Read more »
Corporate probably means having to deal with all the Woke stuff
And “diversity training”.
The upside? Maybe he’ll learn to be “less white”. ;<)
I couldn’t survive the corporate world. They’d toss me out in 5 seconds.
I wouldn’t take the stab for any amount of money. A similar offer ma come soon with no strings.
I would play hardball with the company however, before declining.
Good luck with your decision.
Take the money. Get yours while you can. The last year has made it clear that making money is “who we are”.
If your community are baizou anyhow, you might as well get paid.
As for the jab, the paperwork is easy.
My sentiment exactly. I work for a woke company, and it’s so over the top it’s amusing. It’s a small company, so no real strong arming. Just sweet, naive people who mean well, as they goose-step to the latest fad faxed out from Democrat HQ. You just have to keep your head down and laugh at the ridiculousness. Make as much money as possible and retire early. There is a lot of freedom once you have f*** you money. My company didn’t require the jab though. I would try to forge the paperwork. Companies seem to be setting themselves up… Read more »
The hyper visible wokeness is going to be the struggle. You will be celebrating Pride Month and applauding Juneteenth with gusto. If you don’t, you can leave. They ain’t playing around and you will be sh*t tested for ideological purity constantly by younger co-workers who all grew up on Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games. Before you accept, get deep into a conversation with the HR/Recruiting person about what they are doing to promote an Inclusive Culture as if you are super woke too in order to get a sense of whether or not you want to spend your… Read more »
Faking being “woke” for Globocorp is not difficult. Ignore everything until forced to do something. The bigger the firm, the more you just have to click the box. Furthermore, the people designing the training are by definition the girls who couldn’t cut it in finance or accounting. They are not the people hitting sales goals, designing synthetic CDO’s or structuring mutil-currency swap derivatives. Answer key: “is racism bad?” YES “Are women paid less than men?” YES “After taking this course, will you take a brief survey and give us your honest feedback?” “No” or, for extra credit, “This was the… Read more »

well, how much time do you think you have left? how much of that are you willing to waste to get money you don’t need. that corporate job will damage your health in very real ways. the time there will taint all the other hours of the day. on the other hand, you could take it with a mind to just go through the motions and take their money without caring about any consequences once they figure out you aren’t really “one of the team”.
Price and a prize for everything, saying that a lot today. Anyway it’s true. I’ve spent most of my career as a mechanic working for large corporations out of Europe. 3 years ago couldn’t take it anymore. Stretching ( yoga) before meetings, gps on phone, and truck, superintendent who’s only qualifications was her curves, backstabbing coworkers who take pics of your work to send to headquarters in hopes of moving up. I went to work for a mom and pop shop. A lot of the above minus the gps. And no jab required. I don’t need the money either, but… Read more »
Gonna miss you, my friend.
It’s okay. Since the vaxxed are infecting the unvaxxed, we’ll test positive, get the blame for the ramp up in mortality, and the Grand Vendee’ can begin.
You might start by saying you’d prefer to hold off on the jab until they’ve finished the animal testing.
That does a couple of things.
1. Who knows they may agree and you get a year or so to determine just how much the job is worth to you.
2. It gives you a perfectly reasonable way to address the issue . If they come back with “It’s FDA approved!” you have a teachable moment and their response o that will probably make the choice clear.
Remember the lawsuits in the 90s to make the Boy Scouts Gay? Gay scoutmasters. They had rights and stuff.
The Boy Scouts just settled on the sexual abuse of boys for $850,000,000.
That’s the Jab. The next big lawsuits.
And that’s got Tribe written all over it 👃
Same with PCBs, asbestos.
