Riding Shotgun with the American Dream

by Ferdinand Bardamu 04.10.2012

I’m going to be (somewhat) indisposed for the rest of the week, as I’m heading out into the heartland of America for a job interview — for a job that I’m going to be doing over the Internet anyway — among other things. Don’t ask me why the idiots in charge can’t just do the [...]

John Derbyshire vs. Black-Run America

Thumbnail image for John Derbyshire vs. Black-Run America

By now, you all know that the Derb has been sacked from National Review for daring to speak the truth in Soviet Amerika: Anyone who has read Derb in our pages knows he’s a deeply literate, funny, and incisive writer. I direct anyone who doubts his talents to his delightful first novel, “Seeing Calvin Coolidge in a Dream,” [...]

Just when you were starting to think that gingers were normal people like the rest of us, equally deserving of respect, along comes a fat, pasty Southerner to prove you wrong: I’ve seen videos from this kid before (he was the guy behind the infamous “GINGERS HAVE SOULS” tantrum), but I was informed of this [...]

Contra-Academia: The War Against the Cathedral Starts Now

by Ferdinand Bardamu 04.03.2012

We all know that academia in the West is shot through with corruption, masquerading as a bastion of free inquiry while in reality serving to uphold the status quo. But how can we fight it? Answer: we expose them for the liars and shysters that they are. Occasional In Mala Fide guest contributor (under the pseudonym [...]

Thumbnail image for Can You See the Real Me? A Response to Andy Nowicki

On Friday, Andy Nowicki alerted me to his recent article at Counter-Currents Publishing, “The Trouble with Squares.” It’s a response to an earlier Counter-Currents piece by Jack Donovan promoting his new book The Way of Men (my reviews of both that and Nowicki’s new book Under the Nihil are coming soon). Nowicki’s article mostly addresses game, promoting a [...]

Trayvon Martin Was a Worthless Thug: The Lynching of George Zimmerman

by Ferdinand Bardamu 03.26.2012
Thumbnail image for Trayvon Martin Was a Worthless Thug: The Lynching of George Zimmerman

A hundred years ago in the South, blacks suspected of committing crimes against whites were hunted down and murdered by mobs without a trial. Now, whites suspected of committing crimes against blacks are hunted down and murdered, metaphorically, by the mob of the media and greater society. I’ve said nothing about the George Zimmerman case [...]

Not with unbiased, evenhanded stories like this: Ron Paul not only placed last in Sunday’s Puerto Rico primary, he lost to Fred Karger, the former actor and political consultant who has never before held elected office. Karger, who brands himself as the first openly gay Republican presidential candidate and has failed to garner any significant support [...]

The Wisdom of the Elders

by Ferdinand Bardamu 03.19.2012

My phone started vibrating. I pulled it out without looking at the screen. “Yeah?” I answered. “Ferd?” “Mom? What do you want?” “You didn’t answer my email. Are you coming to Cécile’s graduation or not?” “I forgot about the email. When it’s being held again?” “Oh, it’s May 12th.” “Okay, that’s fine, I’ll be in [...]

Back in my glorious days in the New York civil service, I had the misfortune of working with a flamboyantly gay man I’ll simply refer to as “Tom.” Tom was a patronage hire, buddies with someone of importance in the local county government, and his job position was two notches removed from a sinecure.
