As a conservative āanarchistā and non-interventionist with anti-vocational views on education, Albert Jay Nock (1870-1945) can seem paradoxical. His influence was lasting and he took unconventional stances on many topics. He viewed conservatism as primarily cultural, anarchism as radical decentralization, education as a non-economic activity, and foreign policy as a noninterventionist endeavor. Raised in Brooklyn...

Giulio Andreotti: A Career (Full Article
Ā Almost two months have passed since the death ofĀ Giulio Andreotti, arguably the most powerful politician in Italy’s post-World War II history. In recent weeks I have struggled with a draft obituary of this complex man who deserves to be better known abroad, but the task proved daunting. There are too many loose ends, strange...
Holy Among Fools
In his latest novel, Derek Turner, author of Sea Changes and Displacement, takes his readers on a seriocomic journey with a latter-day Holy Fool.Ā Along the way, Turner takes aim at the insanity of political correctness, celebrity culture in the Age of Twitter, and the spiritual wasteland that results from a denial of truth.Ā A...
The Fate of Moses Jacob Ezekiel and His Memorial to the Confederate Dead
Just a few years ago, a monument to post-Civil War peace and reconciliation sculpted by one of Americaās most gifted Jewish artists was universally acclaimed. Now a woke military commission and left-wing activists plan to destroy it.
Solemn Joy and Hot Gospel
āTwas the middle of that sacred time of year when all Americans pause to remember what is most importantāChristmas Shopping Season. I had just walked through the automatic doorway of MediaPlay, out in what was then the edge of Rockfordās wasteland (the East State Street shopping corridor, which has since sprawled itself all the way...
Middle American Gothic
The bad weather of 1993 eliminated my usual fishing trips to northern Wisconsin, but the other day in Madison, where I go to use the library and relive the 60’s, I saw a sign for an instant oil change and lube: “Faster than an Illinois tourist.” Most people in Wisconsin are happy for the dollars...
Straight Talk
A reviewer of Jared Taylor’s impressive new book faces a dilemma. If a book’s principal thesis is valid, a critic must of course say so. But a difficulty arises in the present instance. According to Taylor, public orthodoxy inhibits discussion of race relations in our country. Dissenters from this orthodoxy face retribution. With remarkable courage,...
The Silent Jihad in Nigeria
āBoko Haram kill villagers in Christmas Eve attack,ā the BBC reported on Dec. 25: at least 11 Christians were murdered in the village of Pemi, in northeastern Nigeria. As villagers fled into the bush, jihadists looted their homes and burned the local church and clinic. The site of the attack was only about 12 miles...
The GOPās Impossible Dream of Swaying Black Voters
Blacks are intensely devotedĀ to the Democratic Party and to corrupt Democratic machines in urban areas, at least partly because they hate Republicans, the white manās party. It makes no difference how often Fox News tells blacks they are living on the āDemocratic plantation,ā or that the Democrats are the party of slavery defender John C....
Hayduke Lives!
It is difficult sometimes to remember the days before September 11, 2001, when George W. Bush was a decidedly ordinary President whose anemic victory the previous fall had required a monthās worth of recounts and court decisions to confirm.Ā After the terrorist attacks, President Bushās approval rating soared, and his administration sought and received vast...
Succumbing to the Dark Side
Torture is a violation of U.S. and international law. Yet, President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, on the basis of legally incompetent memos prepared by Justice Department officials, gave the OK to interrogators to violate U.S. and international law. The new Obama administration shows no inclination to uphold ...
Vol. 1 No. 5 May 1999
The best commentary on the Clinton affair predictably came from abroad. Writing in the Daily Telegraph (London) on February 10, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard lamented the fact that the Republicans were too timid, or too enmeshed in Clintonian intrigue themselves, to pursue the real charges against Clinton. The counts concerning Lewinsky were bound to be misconstrued as...
Common Slobbery
The only time I saw Bill Clinton in the flesh was four years ago in the London Ritz.Ā I was having lunch with Leopold and Debbie Bismarck and the mother of my children, as I call Princess Alexandra Schoenburg-Hartenstein, my wife.Ā There were Krauts galore plus some English friends, and we were celebrating Alexandraās birthday,...
The Ignorance of the Doctors
Montaigne in his Essays called it ignorance doctorale (1.54). Four hundred years later an American journalist called it “educated incompetence.” It means the sort of nonknowledge, or anti-knowledge, that can follow upon higher learning, especially when theorizing about politics, morality, and the arts. That, in the first age of mass higher education in human history,...
Park Ranger Columbo: The Vince Foster Affair
A scene from an unpublished teledrama: The Oval Office of the White House. Behind the desk, the President of the United States. He speaks into an intercom. Bill Clinton: Are there any more appointments today? Voice from the intercom: There is just one more. The park ranger in charge of the investigation into poor Vince...
Croatian Generals Sentenced at The Hague
Ā Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Zagreb and other Croatian cities over the past week to protest the conviction of two Croatian generals by the UN war-crimes tribunal in The Hague. The ICTY sentenced Ante Gotovina to 24 years in jail and Mladen Markac to 18 years for their role...
The Seventh Day
The first thing you notice is the heat and the intensity of the light, glaring on the white-painted adobe walls of Mesilla where Indian rugs, sun-rotted and sun-faded, hang behind deeply recessed windows barred with iron. Stepping out from the coolness of San Albino on the plaza after Mass into the blinding Sunday noon had...
ThĆ©Ć¢tre Syrien
There are several conflicting narratives on who is doing what to whom in Syria, and why. That a false-flag operation was followed by an act of aggression by the U.S. and its European satellites is clear. Everything else is murky. Three initial impressions deserve particular attention. 1. False flags work if they are supported by...
Cry, the Beloved Community
From the rave reviews in the Wall Street Journal and other vehicles of low-octane conservatism, it seems that Tamar Jacoby has produced a work for the ages. Like earlier marvels by Dinesh D’Souza, John J. Miller, and Francis Fukuyama, this study was made possible by funds flowing from neocon foundations, a gesture thoughtfully repaid by...
Why Is Kim Jong Un Our Problem?
“If China is not going to solve North Korea, we will.” So President Donald Trump warns, amid reports North Korea, in its zeal to build an intercontinental ballistic missile to hit our West Coast, may test another atom bomb. China shares a border with North Korea. We do not. Why then is this our problem...
War on Christmas 2015
I first wrote about the War on Christmas in 2001, when Chronicles published my essay āHappy Holidays!Ā Bah Humbug!: in the December 2001 issue. Peter Brimelow, the editor of VDARE.com, republished that essay. Since then, I have written at least one article each Christmas on the topic. What follows is the piece Peter Brimelow asked...
The Monism of Perfection
I first encountered Kenneth Minogue as a sophomore at Columbia, when his name appeared on a reading list for a course in modern political philosophy.Ā The professor, it goes without saying, was a radical who had his own reasons for disliking liberalism, but I do not recall his criticisms, if any, of Minogue and his...
Could Stay-at-Home Moms Help Put Trump Over the Top?
Donald Trump caught a lot of people off guard with his proposal, spearheaded by daughter Ivanka, on child-care benefits. This is not familiar Republican territory. Of course, Hillary Clintonās plan is more āgenerous,ā promising 12 weeks of paid leave to Trumpās six. But thereās one, big fat difference that has been underreported: Hillaryās plan only...
On Strippers
I concur with William J. Quirk in his discussion of the jurisdiction of federal courts (Cultural Revolutions, January).Ā However, he missed a related strategic point. In truth, the judiciary is no āfinal arbiterā of what the Constitution means.Ā If it were, one branch of government would be supreme rather than coequal.Ā So-called judicial supremacy is...
Where Are the ‘High Crimes’?
“Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” These are the offenses designated in the Constitution for which presidents may be impeached and removed from office. Which of these did Trump commit? According to his accusers in this city, his crime is as follows: The president imperiled our “national security” by delaying, for his own...
Allies on the Transatlantic Right
Conservative nationalists in Europe face the same uphill struggle against the dominant left as do their American counterparts.
Getting Real III: Bribability Without Liability
BPās oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico continues to be a lead story. Ā Naturally it has engendered polemics over who is responsible and a broader discussion of whether offshore drilling should be continued or even increased. Ā On these great issues that agitate NPR listeners and FOX watchers, I have nothing to say. Ā I would,...
At Arm’s Length
“I never had the opportunity of searching out God. He sought me out. He stalked me like a redskin, took careful aim and fired.” āC.S. Lewis The disgruntled professor who equates academic integrity with paucity of book sales and who is thereby convinced that the masses who follow the writings of C.S. Lewis must be...
The Right Fork
The chronological niche which the generation of D.J. Taylorās title occupies, 1918-40, will be remembered by future historiansāif, indeed, there should be any such creatures among the oafish homunculi now incubating in the totalitarian crucibles of modern lifeāfor sheltering the end product of the Westās millennial evolution.Ā Good or bad, foolish or clever, talented or...
To the End of the World
Robert Hugh Benson (1871-1914) was the third son of Edward Benson, archbishop of Canterbury from 1883 to 1896, to become a successful author.Ā Arthur Christopher Benson was a popular essayist and poet, whose best-known legacy is the text of the finale of Elgarās Coronation Ode, āLand of Hope and Glory.āĀ Edward Frederic Benson was a...
Letter From London
Tony Blair’s regime manages to be simultaneously comic and tragic, with a slight tilt toward tragedy. The government is made up of chinless Christian Socialists, Anglophobe Scots, aggrieved proletarians, shrewish women, and militant homosexualsāmost of whom seem to detest each other. The members of the Cabinet all have grandiose schemes, which tend toward unfeasibility and...
Transylvanian Tales
“Tyrants are always assassinated late; that is their great excuse.” āCioran It is no surprise that there are a number of mysteries about this book. The author was the deputy director of the Romanian Foreign Intelligence Service; for reasons that he does not care to explain, he defected to the USA in July 1978. Was...
Can the GOP Get Together in Cleveland?
After winning only six delegates in Wisconsin, and with Ted Cruz poaching delegates in states he has won, like Louisiana, Donald Trump either wins on the first ballot at Cleveland, or Trump does not win. Yet, as that huge, roaring reception he received in his first post-Wisconsin appearance in Bethpage, N.Y., testifies, the Donald remains...
MTGās Admirable Pugnacity Needs a Reality Check
Republicans should hammer the border issue but otherwise keep a low profile right now and wait to see if they can pull out a November win.
John Lukacs, R.I.P.
When long-time Chronicles contributor John Lukacs died on May 6, the country lost one of its finest adopted sons, who was also one of its finest writers and historians. The scope and extent of his work defies summaryāhe published over three dozen books between 1953 and 2017 on a wide-ranging list of subjects, including: the...
Regression and Renewal
In February 1941, the world was at war. Nazism and fascism ruled virtually all of Europe and parts of Africa. Imperial Japan was poised to conquer much of East Asia. Joseph Stalin still controlled the world’s largest land mass, although Hitler was soon to shake Stalin’s throne. That year, Pitirim A. Sorokin, born in 1889,...
Looking Past Our Lilliputian Leaders
All of the presidents of the 21st centuryāBush, Obama, Biden, and yes, even Donald Trumpāseem a cut below the gravitas and statesmanship of the founding fathers. The first three wereāand areāglobalists, and as anyone with eyes can see, Joe Biden and his crew are busy taking a wrecking ball to our liberties. Regarding Donald Trump,...
A Bad Moon on the Rise
There’s a bad moon on the rise, and as 1990 drew to a close, the American ruling class began to huddle in its tents to meet the coming storm. When ex-Klansman David Duke seized 44 percent of the vote in Louisiana’s senatorial election last October, the howling of the political cyclone could be heard even...
Putting Down Uncle Pat
The Persistent Prejudice: Anti-Catholicism in the U.S. by Michael Schwartz; Our Sunday Visitor Press, Huntington, IN. Catholicism is so pervasive in America that it is taken for granted as somehow normal. Schwartz traces hostility to Catholicism from its Reformation roots in England, where it was identified with “foreigners” and political conspiracy. TransĀplanted to the New...
On “Academic Freedom”
Please allow me to comment on your column in the Cultural Revolutions section of the January 1986 issue wherein someone states: “During the 60’s and 70′ s, while other universities were committing academic suicide by eliminating all merely ‘academic’ requirements, Fordham held firm.” My dear sir, if Fordham held firm, then Idi Amin is a...
Armenians in Peril, Again
The ongoing war between Azerbaijan and Armenia threatens the existence of Christian communities in the Near East. The Biden White House is unlikely to intervene in any way for fear of losing support from Turkey.
The Community Meeting
I moved to a small island in Newfoundland’s Placentia Bay. Newfoundland was settled mainly by fishermen from western England and from Ireland; to this day more than 80 percent of the population is of that origin. Yet I have been told that, geologically, Newfoundland is part of the Appalachian chain, with a piece of Scotland...
With Prejudice
I have been a Eurocentric, heterosexual, white male ever since I was a little baby. An unreconstructed Marxist would say that this accident of birthācarelessly amplified of late by the sybaritic sojourn in a palazzo on the Grand Canal whose windows watch the West decline over the campanile of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frariāis what...
Artists, Punks, and Techies in the Golden City
If I recall correctlyāalways aĀ Ā dangerous way to start a sentenceāit was sometime in the early to mid-ā70s that John D. Berry wrote in his fanzineĀ HitchhikeĀ about a line of thinking that placed value on having āa sense of place.ā My memory hasnāt retained where he got this notion fromāpossibly from an issue ofĀ Whole Earth Catalogābut the...
An Over-Rated Debate
Presidential debates usually are overrated, but the 2004 foreign-policy contest was informative.Ā Although John Kerry is not an attractive personality, he knows the issues.Ā George W. Bush knows his lines. Americans undoubtedly were relieved when the President declared, āI know that Osama bin Laden attacked America.āĀ Apparently, he has learned something while in office. To...
Creeds and Values
The September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon may have jarred American self-confidence, caused coast-to-coast panic, and even (we shall see) ignited World War III, but so far they have failed to put a dent in multicultural etiquette.Ā President Bush and other government spokesmen have been at pains to stress that...
The Crime of Consistency
When future generations write the history of the Roman Catholic Church in North America, the year 2002 will loom large, since the crisis over child abuse by priests and other clergy has had such a devastating effect on the faithful.Ā Yet these same events also deserve to be remembered as marking a remarkable new low...
Why Is Yemen Our War?
For a month now, the Saudi air force has been bombing Yemen to reverse a takeover of that nation of 25 million by Houthi rebels, and reinstall a president who fled his country and is residing in Riyadh. The Saudis have hit airfields, armor and arms depots, and caused a humanitarian catastrophe. Nearly 1,000 dead,...
America for Sale
The recent U.S. recession, if judged by its effect on total employment, was the shortest and mildest of the post-World War II period. In the six months from the peak of July 1998 to the low of January 1999, employment declined by only 1.43 million workers, and, by May 2004, 7.5 million additional workers were...
