Andrew Hamilton

1,328 words

French translation here

It is a commonplace today that the white race does not deserve to survive. That and philo-Semitism are the two primary pillars of mainstream[1] ideology and public policy.

Greg Johnson

1,150 words

Jonathan Bowden
Sade
Charleston, W.V.: Nine-Banded Books, 2013
