Jeffrey Sachs and his sympathy for Russia
The video below has allegedly gone viral. I made this brief comment:
Jeffrey Sachs is extremely one-sided. Everybody should know how Finland, Poland and the Baltic states regard Russia. Putin himself is not at all shy about Russia’s imperial ambitions. How often do we hear key people in Islam talk about converting the world – by violence if necessary? The symbol of Islam is the sword. Hasn’t Sachs noticed? Does he not know the history of Islam? What should Israel do about Islam’s stated objective to destroy the Jewish people? These are fundamental questions about which you don’t need a professorship to understand. War and defence of your country and culture are sometimes a dirty business. The Americans are far from infallible, but I’m on the side of those combating enemies who want to destroy the West. What skin does Sachs have in the game?

Disturbed women cannot create a sane movement
Janice Fiamengo, Jun 30, 2026
Marching in pussy hats, baring their breasts to save the earth, fighting with ICE agents, declaring themselves “nasty,” feminist women today are self-evidently the least contented and most rancorous women in America, preoccupied with victimhood, consumed by the politics of despair, and experiencing higher rates of depression (and corresponding anti-depressant use) than non-feminist women.
It is logical to conclude that feminism causes female unhappiness by encouraging ingratitude, paranoia, and reckless rage.
Feminists themselves have at times noted the excessive, often wretched, results of their gospel of discontent: the suicides, depression, violence, hysteria, and disordered lives of many of their luminaries.
Mary Wollstonecraft made two suicide attempts after her free-love liaison fell apart. Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst counseled and engaged in murderous political violence. Virginia Woolf drowned herself after suffering from severe mental illness for much of her life. Simone De Beauvoir lost her teaching license for sexual misconduct with a female student. Valerie Solanas attempted to murder at least three men after writing a tract recommending the murder of men. Betty Friedan based her entire public career on demonstrable lies. Elizabeth Gould Davis shot herself after completing a book on female moral superiority. Andrea Dworkin was almost certainly a rape fabulist. Shulamith Firestone became schizophrenic. Germaine Greer advocated sex with pubescent boys. Mary Daly would not allow male students to take her senior women’s studies courses. Phyllis Chesler (of whom more later) defended a female serial killer. Mona Eltahawy boasted about beating a man in a nightclub. These and many other feminist leaders are not what most people would recommend as models for their daughters.
Concocting history – the non-existence wars with the Aborigines
Robert Hill is at the forefront of those powerfully challenging the stories concocted by government-funded groups who are furiously rewriting Australian history. A curse on those institutions that ought to defend Australia but are collapsing like a house of cards. Australians need someone like Pauline Hanson to have the guts not only to defend the truth but to stop the colossal amounts of money going to the fat cats of the Aboriginal industry.

The ‘Wars’ That Weren’t
Robert Hill, Quadrant, Jun 23 2026
Reports and Senate Estimates evidence suggest there is a “Frontier Wars” display being developed within the Australian War Memorial’s pre-1914 treatment, with suggestions that the relevant pre-1914 gallery space may be around 400 square metres. The precise public plan remains difficult to identify, which is itself part of the problem.
There is no publicly available record that explains the evidentiary basis for the inclusion of such a gallery and its contravention of the AWM charter. No clear public criteria have been produced. No public account explains how the Memorial proposes to distinguish war from massacre, reprisal, murder, policing, punitive expedition, settler violence, food raiding, stock spearing or localised tribal conflict.
The War Memorial has attempted to justify the language of war on its own website. But in doing so it avoids the central problem. The Australian frontier was not a war merely because later writers called it one, or because violence occurred over a long period. On examination, the frontier does not meet the very tests the Memorial invokes: organised political violence, military purpose, identifiable belligerents, command structures, campaigns, warlike conduct against armed authority, or recognisable military outcomes.
The result is predictable. Something that was not Australian in any national military sense, and was not war in any ordinary military sense, is now to be memorialised without clear public criteria, without visible evidentiary justification, and almost certainly in a selective ideological form.
The Australian War Memorial is hosting a two-day conference on September 17/18 titled Imperialism and Resistance: Australia’s First Wars. It marks a profound institutional shift. The frontier is no longer being presented as a contested historical question. It is being framed as a settled conclusion. The conference appears designed to legitimise the illegitimate: to give institutional cover to a claim the Memorial has not publicly justified, and which sits uneasily with its statutory purpose of Australian military remembrance.
The title itself does the work: Australia’s First Wars.
Not frontier violence. Not colonial conflict. Not dispossession. Not massacre, reprisal, police action, local resistance or criminal violence.
“Wars.”
The Oikophobia – the disease eating the West
By coincidence with Joomi Kim’s latest video (see below), Quillette has just posted an interview with Benedict Bekeld, author of Oikophobia: Our Western Self-Hatred, the book at the centre of much discussion.
The suicide of a civlisation
‘Whiteness is the most violent fuckin’ system to ever breathe.’
The above is a declaration uttered by a ranting black activist in Joomi Kim’s video. It would be pointless to say, in reply, that one should survey the social status of the black population in America (there are abundant statistics), then survey the civilisational status of the black African states and then compare them with the countries of the West that are centuries ahead in every measure of civilisation.
In recent years, I have mused on the fact, everywhere evident, that I have the privilege of living during times of civilizational collapse. I must sit back of an evening and watch my kind destroying what took centuries to develop.

What is the Australian character and culture?
Many Australians are reacting fiercely today to threats to Australia’s character and culture from ideological or national groups. What character and culture, some are asking? Indeed, the more extreme deny that such a character and culture exist. In the final chapter of my book, PRISON HULK TO REDEMPTION, I sketch what I understand as Australia’s character and culture.
*****
An excerpt from chapter 19, ‘Cultural Continuities in 1900’, Prison Hulk to Redemption, available through Amazon.
From the outset [of Prison Hulk to Redemption], I endeavoured to depict a new, independent nation emerging from Captain Phillip’s seminal act of planting the Union Jack in the soil of Sydney Cove. In a remarkably short time, the inaugural members of this new nation began to refer to their land and themselves as Australia and Australians, though still closely connected to their origins in the British Isles. The fiery and intemperate William Charles Wentworth embodied those who experienced no doubts about themselves and the new nation they were forging. But what, precisely, does this Australianness entail?
Australianness represents a profound modification of Britishness, the unifying culture of the British Isles—England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland—rooted in the broader culture of Christian Europe. Although Australians retained many traditions, customs, and social and political institutions from Great Britain, as well as the arts and literature, and were content to do so, their experiences led them to develop fundamentally distinct identities from their counterparts in the British Isles. The varied physical environment contributed to the emergence of a unique, independent expression of Britishness. Consequently, all traditions, customs, and institutions brought over by the First Fleet were transformed, regardless of how subtle these changes might sometimes have been. Although this transformation began as soon as Captain Phillip planted the British flag, it was not until the 1880s that overseas observers began to notice a distinctly Australian character.
Continue readingFour stages of ideological subversion
Former KGB operative Yuri Bezmenov tried to warn the West about communist subversion. After his defection, he spent his time outlining the four stages of Marxist subversion. It happened as he predicted, especially in Australia, where the Marxists have infiltrated and poisoned all the major organs of the nation.
SUBVERSION IN FOUR STAGES
1. Foster cultural decadence and demoralisation
– Attack family, history of white people, encourage sexual promiscuity and drugs, attack patriotism, undermine people’s pride in their country.
2. Create social chaos
Everyone is equal. There’s no difference between man and woman, different races and people. Unequal outcomes are the result of white prejudice, bigotry and injustice.
– Communists plan to use minorities to undermine white society.
– Manipulate the movement for civil rights as a tactic to destabilise white society. Brand anyone objecting as a racist.
– Destabilise with rampant mass immigration. The push for Third World immigration came directly from the communists.
– Encourage black people to see all inequalities and disadvantages as a result of white oppression.
3. Instigate a crisis that leads either to civil war, revolution, or invasion.
4. Launch a quick savage coup to bring the country under the control of the communist party to bring ‘normalisation’. Communists and Islamists are most successful in mounting a coup.
Madman Leon Trotsky invented and spread the word ‘racism’ because he knew that multiracial societies result in social chaos.
Use DIVERSITY as a tactic. Diversity undermines a coherent, cohesive society. Diversity is the major weapon against white societies.
Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov, also known as Tomas David Schuman, was a Soviet journalist, KGB-associated informant, and defector who worked for the Novosti Press Agency before fleeing while stationed in India in 1970. Resettled in Canada, he became an outspoken anti-communist author and lecturer, best known for exposing the KGB’s “ideological subversion” strategy—demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization—outlined in his 1980s books and lectures until his death in 1993.
Concocted history
It’s in vogue for the woke class – appointing coal black actors to play characters from lily-white stories, sometimes centuries-old, and concocting history as a demonstration that objections are racially motivated. The American feminist program ‘The View’ is shamelessly guilty of this propaganda trick. Of course, in Australia we have battalions of government-funded academics busy spinning the most preposterous ‘histories’ of the Aboriginals.
