An accurate and fair take on slavery and racism.

February 13, 2025
Fascism, Racism, and Donald Trump
By Steve McCann

With Donald Trump back in the Oval Office and fulfilling the promises he made to the American people, the inevitable accusations of Fascism and racism again fill the airwaves, the pages, and the websites of the legacy media. These seemingly never-ending accusations also the underlie the lawsuits being filed in the courtrooms of radical left-wing judges in an unconstitutional effort to impede and stop Trump in his quest to make America great again.

The fact that the Marxist-inspired American Left, its political arm, the Democrat Party, and its “Ministry of Information,” the legacy media, has to once again rely on endlessly regurgitating these now threadbare epithets is an admission that they have not only failed to achieve their goal of transforming the nation but have nothing to justify their failed policies except to vilify Donald Trump and accuse 75% of the citizens of the United States of being inbred racists.

The American Marxists have long been confident that a substantial majority of Americans of European descent are easily gulled, susceptible to guilt and shame, and are, thus, willing to stand aside as they transform the nation.

Over the past sixty-five years, they have been monomaniacally determined to convince the citizenry that the United States is and always has been a malevolent and racist nation due its settlement by the European branch of the Caucasian race (or more contemptuously “Whites”)

According to their duplicitous agitprop, Whites have, since the dawn of recorded history, been the principal promoters and beneficiaries of slavery and repression throughout the world. Those members of this villainous race who settled in this country over the past 400 years are, thus, responsible for imposing never-ending racism and inequity on the American continent.

The American Marxists insist that the White population, which includes Hispanics of European descent, must openly confess their collective guilt and seek forgiveness. Additionally, and in light of this demonic legacy, every American of any race should be mortified to be a citizen of such vile and irredeemable country.

Not coincidentally, this cabal has declared that there is a path toward national redemption and a mechanism to forever erase the stain of “white privilege” and “systemic racism.” It is for the American Marxists to be unopposed in their seizure of the reins of power in order to transform the nation into a one-party secular socialist paradise.

The absurd assertion made by the American Marxists that the United States is the embodiment of evil because of ever-present “systemic racism” is defeated by the mere fact that they have had to resort to this specious and feeble argument in their bid to achieve their goals.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the Left has been unable to transform the United States into socialist paradise by using the standard class warfare tactic that succeeded in many other nations. That strategy succeeded in those nations because there was an element of truth in the underlying allegations of rampant inequality due to rigid class structures and monolithic governments.

That tactic did not work in the United States as this is the first nation in annals of mankind to be created without a rigid class structure and with a recognition of the unalienable rights of the individual as well as a dramatically disbursed governmental framework. Further, it is also the first nation to create a written permanent Constitution with provisions to correct societal inequalities, which were used to end slavery, institute women’s suffrage, and eliminate of the last vestiges of institutional racism in the 1960s. It is the only nation in history that was willing to suffer the overwhelming death and destruction of a civil war to permanently end slavery. And it is the first and still only country created as a multi-ethnic nation.

Thus, the only tactic the American Marxists have is to foment guilt among the majority of the citizenry while falsely portraying the nation as irredeemably racist and dividing the country by race and ethnicity as well as labeling those of us in opposition to their megalomania as Fascists or Nazis.

The American Marxists have been taken aback by the reality that a rapidly growing majority of Americans, led by Donald Trump, will never roll over and meekly allow these wannabe autocrats and their dimwitted acolytes to transform America. Nor will we tolerate the accusations of Fascism or racism or wallow in collective guilt for who are.

I am of a member of the Caucasian race and of European descent, I am a naturalized citizen of the United States, and I am a Christian. I am extraordinarily proud of being all the above. Further, even if I knew who my ancestors were, I do not have a scintilla of guilt nor do I care about what they may or may not have done over the centuries.

I am grateful to be a part of western civilization with its roots in Christianity and Judaism. The only civilization in the history of mankind that ended slavery, initiated and promoted universal human rights, originated women’s equality, created parliamentary democracy, and recognized that as certain rights came from God and not man, they cannot be abrogated by the state,

Throughout countless millennia all races have enslaved, violently subjugated, and exploited others in and outside their racial group. In fact, it is estimated that a virtually everyone of European descent has an ancestor that was captured or sold as a slave. The same holds true for essentially everyone living on the planet today.

Slavery still exists to this day in multiple countries in Africa as well as in India, China, and Pakistan among other Asian countries and across the entirety of the Middle East. It is estimated that throughout the world today there are over 40 million human beings in slavery. More than triple the number that were enslaved during the nearly four hundred years of the transatlantic slave era (16th to 19th centuries).

None of these countries or regions are populated or controlled by the “evil” white race. Further, by 1863 all nations inhabited or governed by the ancestors of the current members of the white race had abolished slavery in perpetuity and turned their attention to guaranteeing the rights of former slaves. It is the only race, on a collective basis, to ever do so. And it is also the race that has long been in the forefront of movements to end modern slavery.

Every American should be proud of being a member of whatever racial or ethnic group they may belong to, but more importantly they should be extraordinarily proud of being a citizen of the most unique, successful, and tolerant nation in the annals of mankind. Further, they should accelerate the inevitable relegation of the American Marxist cabal to the ash heap of history by telling them to take their unconstitutional attempts to thwart Donald Trump and their vile manipulation of the citizenry and shove it.

Voltaire's birthday 11-21-1694 - A brief essay by Steve Weidenkopf

Today marks the three hundred and thirtieth birthday of the Frenchman François-Marie Arouet, better known by his nom de plume, Voltaire (1694-1778).

Born into a bourgeois family during the reign of Louis XIV, the “Sun King” (r. 1643-1715), Voltaire suffered tragedy at a young age when his mother died. Never close with his father or brother, Voltaire exhibited a rebellious attitude toward authority from his youth. His brilliant mind was fostered in the care of the Society of Jesus, who introduced him to the joys of literature and theater. Despite his later criticisms against the Church, Voltaire, throughout his life, fondly recalled his dedicated Jesuit teachers.

Although he spent time as a civil servant in the French embassy to the Hague, Voltaire’s main love was writing—an endeavor where he excelled in various genres, including poetry, which led to his appointment as the royal court poet for King Louis XV. Widely recognized as one of the greatest French writers, and even hyperbolically referred to by ...

Garden of the Beloved - read by Lady Clare - Chapter 9
The Comforting of the Disciple

The Comforting of the Disciple

Now the Beloved often came into the Garden both because of the great joy He had in the Garden and because of the great love He bore the Lover and the Disciple.  Often He talked with the Lover, but the Disciple because he was not yet perfected in Love could neither hear nor see the Beloved, though he often felt a strange joy, he did not know why.  Therefore he was sorrowful, for it seemed to him that on account of his sins he would never find the Beloved.  So weeping he came to the Lover and said, “Sir, I know that I am a very sinful man and I much fear that though I search all my life yet on account of my sins I shall never find the Beloved.”

In reply the Lover smiled gently and said, “My son, when you first came into the Garden do you remember what sort of day it was?”

“Yes,” said the Disciple, “I remember it.  It was dark and gloomy as if no sunlight ever entered the Garden.”

“When you began to strip off your rich robes,” the Lover asked, “what happened to the day?”

“It seemed,” said the Disciple, “as if the sun had suddenly broken through the clouds and the whole Garden shone with glorious and celestial light:  such light as shines daily in the Garden.”

The Lover replied, “Know that the Beloved Himself is the light of the Garden, so that when you began searching for the Beloved even then you found Him, for how can any know the desire to search for the Beloved if He had not already without his knowing revealed Himself to him.”

So the Disciple was greatly comforted by knowing that although he could not see or hear Him he had already found the Beloved, and he labored the more joyously to do the service of the Beloved.

Thoughts on Alan - Updated with Alan's e-mail address

Dear ADD Irregulars,

Alan has decided to step away from our community for a while. He may return, but right now he’s in a difficult chapter of life. This past year has been especially rough for him—depression, anxiety, unemployment, and some challenging family situations.

I spoke with him briefly on Telegram. He admitted to feeling worn down, and the recent football meme hit him at exactly the wrong moment and in the wrong state of mind. He didn’t sound like he was blaming Rich, but in his current vulnerability, he experienced the exchange as unnecessarily mean-spirited. I suspect the “whiny-cunt” line cut much deeper than it normally would have.

That’s the funny and frightening thing about emotions: on a good day, that back-and-forth between Alan and Rich would have been hilarious. On a bad day, it was simply too much. No one could have known beforehand.

In Alan’s own words: “I saw it at exactly the wrong moment and it just hit me as unnecessarily mean spirited which was something I just didn't expect and am really not in a place to cope with at the moment.”

This is the danger of this medium. We log on hoping for relief or distraction, and instead we sometimes encounter something that offends, outrages, or wounds us. I feel for Alan—I know from previous conversations that this has not been a good year for him.

Let this be a reminder to all of us: Do not venture onto the internet when you’re in a state of emotional vulnerability. It rarely goes the way we hope. Pressure always seeks an escape valve, and online spaces are full of sharp edges. It is far better to talk with a real person—call someone and hear a human voice with all its nuance—than to stare at static words on a screen that you can reread over and over, each time deepening the wound.

Praying for Alan and so sorry he is at this chapter in his life. I am guessing he might be open to any of us reaching out. I don't really know.  I know he is still on telegram, but not sure how esle to contact him.

Rich, if you read this I hope you chalk it under unfortunate shit happens. On most other days that post would have generated the funny back and forth that we have seen many times in the past.  I am sure Alan would be open to any conversation with you, that is an invitation never an expectation. 

[email protected]  For anyone who might want to contact Alan.
