Rough Stuff ***1/2

This enjoyable Australian outback adventure stars Gareth Rickards as Buzz, a rugged “rover” hired by a group of eco-activist weenies to get them across a difficult, mountainous terrain and to the site of a new American mining venture where they plan to film a documentary on the project’s environmental impact – and the sense of urgency to their mission gets ratcheted up a notch when Buzz realizes the group is being pursued by the relentless and enigmatic “Ranger” (Jono Cheal). The characters, though never developed too deeply, are likable enough, and the movie’s rapid pacing and wilderness setting prevent it from ever getting boring. Frizzy-haired slob Sam Glissan deserves a special mention, as well, for his supporting role as the salty and indomitable Scraps.

3.5 out of 5 stars. Ideological Content Analysis indicates that Rough Stuff is:

[WARNING: SPOILERS]

5. Abo-empowering. While whites are allowed to play the heroic roles, a bit of ethnomasochism does creep into the film at the end when Buzz, having discovered the site of a cache of gold, abstains from seizing the booty so as to let an elderly abo have it, the implication being that he is somehow more entitled to it for having a more organic and intimate connection to the earth. It is interesting to note, however, that Buzz nearly drives himself off of a cliff after virtue-signaling.

4. Green-ambivalent. Rough Stuff stops short of discrediting environmentalism altogether, but does suggest that those activist types drawn to such causes are frequently naïve, poorly informed, fanatical, or possessed of ulterior motives.

3. Anti-feminist. The comic supporting character Skye (Katie Garfield) represents feminists as obnoxious and unnecessarily combative. Not content to keep her viewpoints to herself, she more than once attempts to infect her more feminine comrade Tori (Hayley Sullivan) with her corrosive ideology, encouraging her to be more sexually assertive and insisting that the patriarchy has conditioned Tori to deny her true wants and needs. Skye’s militancy is revealed to be hollow, however, when – after stubbornly refusing to allow a man to carry her across a stream – she finds herself stuck and petulantly cries out for help. Her pampered stupidity, too, comes out when it suddenly dawns on her that there will be no ladies’ rooms available in the outback. Women can talk tough or even shoot guns, but ultimately require rescue.

2. Anti-corporate. The eco-activist group’s leader, Eric (Jamie Kristian), turns out to be plotting a terror attack on the mining concern – which plot in turn is revealed to be a scheme of the mining multinational to discredit conservationists. The corporation, in addition to staging a series of eco-terror false flags around the world and lobbying the Australian government for special privileges, is also skirting government regulations by initiating the exploitation of a new region before securing public permission.

1.Populist. Rough Stuff gives audiences a masculine, self-reliant, working-class hero in Buzz, and the movie evinces a healthy distrust of both left-utopian activism and nihilistic, big-business concerns. Traditional sex roles are reinforced, as is the dignity of the rustic Australian as opposed to globalizing and cosmopolitan forces.

The Zeroth Column: Part 4: Donald Trump & The Murder of Jamal Khashoggi

Hipster Racist weighs in on the Jamal Khashoggi affair, segueing into 9/11, and tying it back into his “Zeroth Column” series …

The World Trade Center was always known as a very, very strong building. Don’t forget that took a big bomb is the basement and the basement is the most vulnerable place because that’s your foundation, and it withstood that. … I happen to think they had not only a plane but also bombs that exploded almost simultaneously. … I think there was a plane with more than just fuel … these buildings were rock solid. — Donald Trump, September 11, 2001, WWOR/UPN 9 News

The Anti-Nazi Fascist Nationalism of Gabriele d’Annunzio and Italo Balbo

Aryan Skynet

Italo Balbo

History inextricably links and almost equates Benito Mussolini’s Fascism with Adolf Hitler’s National Socialism, but the Pact of Steel that obligated their military alliance was far from an inevitability. The Italian and German peoples, who had fought each other during the First World War, retained a potent mutual distrust and dislike, and internal Fascist Party reports on public opinion indicated widespread disapproval of Mussolini’s cozying relations with Hitler during the years leading into the Second World War.

Anti-Nazi sentiment could be found even high in the ranks of the Fascist Party and Mussolini’s bureaucracy, as was the case with Italo Balbo, Marshal of Italy’s Air Force and Governor-General of Libya. One of the major Fascist organizers from the party’s earliest days, Balbo’s anti-German biases were well known. Balbo visited Germany in 1938, at the time when Fascism was closing ranks with Nazism, and was charmed by his reception…

Donald Jeffries on Cops and Robbers, Hollywood Style

Donald Jeffries

Conspiracy investigator and Hidden History author Donald Jeffries, in a recent column for American Free Press, offers a few remarks on the current state of Hollywood and television that warrant quotation. “While once prevalent genres like westerns and variety shows have come and gone, programs about police officers still hold a prominent place in every television network’s schedules,” Jeffries writes:

Much as the conventional left only protests police brutality when it can be portrayed in predictable “racist” terms, Hollywood generally adores our police forces. The popularity of the television show Cops attests to just how successful this strategy has been. On that program, the officers obviously know they’re being filmed, and yet their misconduct still shines through clearly. On CSI types of modern shows, the always suitably diverse police officers are honest, upstanding public servants. They are also laughably portrayed as brilliant detectives. In real life, cops are in some cases incompetent. For instance, during the time of the D.C. sniper shootings the perpetrators had to call the FBI hotline repeatedly to point out that there was a note they’d left tacked to a tree at a crime scene, which the investigators had somehow missed.

Onscreen, all street criminals are white. Often they seem to have walked off the set of a 1930s Warner Brothers picture. In real life, crime in every big city is virtually white-free. Black and Hispanic gangs rule that turf. But not in Metropolis or Gotham City. You’ll never see Spider-man or Batman fight a Blood or a Crip – or even a Hell’s Angel. But nearly every judge or police commissioner will be black. It’s maddeningly predictable and unrealistic, but it fits into the paternalistic, condescending attitude establishment “liberals” have toward minorities, especially blacks.1

If you didn’t get the memo before, you’ve got it now, Hollywood. We want Morgan Freeman selling crack on a corner in the next Batman!

Selling Eugenics

Aryan Skynet

Are poor people oppressed, or do they just suck? They suck, amirite?

Heel Turn host Joachim Hoch took viewer questions about forced sterilizations and Brazilian presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro’s eugenic views on last night’s episode of the show and answered with these reflections:

“Eugenics” is a dirty word and forced sterilization sounds awful, right? […] Okay, I think you could probably get most people to agree, if you are convicted of a violent or sexual felony, chemical castration. Uh, you do that long enough, you’re going to see eugenic policies [i.e., outcomes] really quickly. Um, you know, I would say, offer voluntary sterilization for people who want to score, like, five grand or something. You know, if you’re a heroin addict or you’ve got habitual issues, you know, if you’ve been in and out of the system, at a certain point a determination probably needs to be made, because there’s…

Hoffman contra the Hitlerites

Would the world be a better place today if the Germans had won the Second World War? Possibly. But the question is really pointless since Germany’s defeat was inevitable once Operation Barbarossa was initiated.

Aryan Skynet

Revisionist History publisher Michael Hoffman stirred a trollstorm this past summer when, in issue 97 of his newsletter, he published an article titled, “Hitler Never Had a Snowball’s Chance in Hell of Conquering Soviet Russia”. In it, he characterizes Hitler as history’s “champion killer of Germans”¹ – and, as he was soon to discover, this was triggering to a significant segment of his readership. “After the publication of our study […] we received a number of e-mails and letters running the gamut from criticism to barely concealed exasperation and denunciation,” Hoffman relates in Revisionist History issue 98, adding that “subscription renewals are down due to what we published about Hitler’s war in Russia.”² What did Hoffman write that got his readers so upset?

“Not wanting to desert my post as watchman on the ramparts, it periodically falls to this writer to sound the alarm about the spirit of…

The Jewish War On White Women

Aryan Skynet

I would be happy to give [Bill Clinton] a blowjob just to thank him for keeping abortion legal. I think American women should be lining up with their Presidential kneepads on to show their gratitude for keeping the theocracy off our backs.”
— Nina Burleigh

The Kavanaugh hearings were pure partisanship; Democrats wanted to keep a Republican off of the Supreme Court; Republicans wanted a GOP hack – and George W. Bush crony who helped pass the Patriot Act and legalize the torture of Israel’s enemies – and Brett Kavanaugh was that man.

Most in “this crowd” probably believe the allegations against Kavanaugh were false, just smears. While they were obviously politically motivated, now that the political fight has passed, think twice: look closely at Kavanaugh’s denials and you’ll see he mostly avoided the issues and gave non-answers to many specific allegations.

Was Gibson Right?

Mad Mel’s 2006 mug shot

“In 2006,” begins Thomas Dalton in a recent essay at The Unz Review, “an inebriated Mel Gibson allegedly said this: ‘The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.'” Dalton continues:

There followed the predicable storm of anti-anti-Semitism, ad hominem attacks, and various other slanders against Gibson’s character. But virtually no one asked the question: Is he right? Or rather this: To what degree could he be right?

Clearly Jews can’t be responsible for all the world’s wars, but might they have had a hand in many wars — at least amongst those countries in which they lived or interacted? Given their undeniable influence in those nations where they exceed even a fraction of a percent of the population, Jews must be responsible, to some degree, for at least some of what government does, both good and bad. Jews are often praised as brilliant managers, economists, and strategists, and have been granted seemingly endless awards and honors. But those given credit for their successes must also receive blame for their failures. And there are few greater failures in the lives of nations than war.

To begin to evaluate Gibson’s charge, I will look at the role Jews played in the two major wars of world history, World Wars I and II. But first I need to recap some relevant history in order to better understand the context of Jewish policy and actions during those calamitous events.

The Globalist Strangulation of a Great Chicago Legacy

Aryan Skynet

Among those forces doing their utmost to thwart the Trumpist agenda and the rising populist consciousness in the United States are the champions of “global cities” – municipal nodes of globalist power opposed to true localism. One manifestation of this resistance to the desires of authentic Americans is the Chicago Council on Global Affairs (CCGA), which “announced Sept. 10 that it has received yet another large gift – this one a $4 million grant to its Second Century Campaign from the Robert R. McCormick Foundation,” Mark Anderson reports in the latest issue of American Free Press:

The brisk slap in the face here is that the namesake of this foundation – legendary Chicago Tribune publisher Robert R. McCormick – were he alive today, would have a coronary over the foundation he spawned funding an “active U.S. role in the world,” much less a “global cities” template that subtly seeks…

Andrew Joyce, in a typically excellent essay published last week at The Unz Review, dredges up the little-known but pivotal figure of visionary media manipulator Samuel H. Flowerman, who proposed in 1947 to “modify the standards of the in-group.” Affirmative Right‘s Andy Nowicki, meanwhile, meditates on the “Sovietization of the entertainment press” and the #Smilegate furor precipitated by the trailer for the forthcoming Captain Marvel movie. Last but not least, I enthusiastically recommend the consistently sharp series of propaganda-vivisecting videos being produced by Black Pilled YouTuber Devon Stack.
