The Youtube user Gaelic Neoreactionary is spoiling us at the moment by uploading the Jonathan Bowden speeches only previously seen on DVD. The first of his two new uploads is Bowden's speech on the guru of Italian fascism, Gabriele D'Annunzio. Bowden explores the link between D'Annunzio's artistic and political careers, and how his romanticist and traditionalist literature that brought together many strands of thought and styles shaped his politics. Equally, his aristocratic background is important, particularly in relation to modernity, as D'Annunzio joined the Italian Air Force during the First World War, the pilot becoming the modernist knight of the air. Equally, this blend of modernism and traditionalist elitism would shape his fascist ideology.

FILM REVIEW: THE SEARCHERS, John Ford's Look at Race Realism
The Searchers has been hailed as one of the greatest films of all time. The BFI's Sight and Sound have it at number seven in their poll of esteemed film critics - and this is in spite of it being a very politically incorrect film in an industry that has been by turns liberal and Judeo-bolshevik since its inception. Even the liberal bourgeois critic I love to hate, Roger Ebert, despite his affected bandying about of words like 'racism' and 'genocide', had to admit that the character of Ethan Edwards was 'one of the most compelling characters Ford and Wayne ever created.' What Ebert does not like is the fact that Wayne's character is unashamedly racially aware and that the film does not seek to criticise this.

NEW JONATHAN BOWDEN SPEECHES UPLOADED
The Youtube channel Gaelic Neoreactionary has uploaded two speeches by the late great Rightist philosopher, artist and writer, Jonathan Bowden, which have previously only been available on the DVD The Oratory of Jonathan Bowden, a copy of which I am a proud owner. The first speech is on pro-imperialist Japanese author, playwright and actor Yukio Mishima, who committed suicide by seppuku/harakiri in 1970 after a failed coup d'état in which Mishima attempted to restore Japan to its imperial status with the Emperor as absolute ruler.

STARBUCK: LOST IN CASTRATION by Dirk Benedict
Again, I sit back and let someone else do the talking for a change. You may have seen this essay before, written by the actor Dirk Benedict of A-Team and Battlestar Gallactica fame. I will actually come onto both the merits and the Christian Zionist propaganda of the 1978 version of Battlestar Gallactica itself in another article, but for now, I want to leave what he said regarding the feminisation of Battlestar Gallactica's 2003-2009 reboot. Perhaps you have already read it, but in light of the ever increasing trend towards rebooting old franchises and remaking old films with women in the once-male roles, I think what he wrote in May 2004 is even more relevant now. I think here immediately of Ghostbusters, Dr Who and the upcoming adaptation of Lord of the Flies. Anyway, if Mr Benedict wishes his article to be removed from this site, he is free to contact me.
Starbuck: Lost in Castration
Once upon a time, in what used to be a far away land called Hollywood but is now a state of mind and everywhere, a young actor was handed a script and asked to bring to life a character called Starbuck. I am that actor. The script was called Battlestar Galactica.

TRANSGENDERISM, TRANSABLISM AND THE NIHILISM OF THE LEFT
The latest cult of Leftism is transgenderism. As per usual, the Left have sent infiltrators into the Right in an attempt to normalise obviously abnormal behaviour. One notes the Youtuber transvestite Blaire White mouthing moderately conservative views while normalising the idea of him using the ladies toilet. The main point of Blaire White though is that, in seeing him debate against the LGBTJQ+ community and their plethora of 'gender non-binary' pronouns, we accept him as one of our own. And in that moment of acceptance, we have already normalised all of the LGBTJQ+ position bar the trimmings.
