Extending an Olive Branch to my Former Comrades

In which I announce a shift in Nevermore's editorial policy

Hey Gang,

Big News! I have decided to make some big changes in my approach to this project.

Recently, I made contact with a former comrade back in Canada, who awakened some hope that people might actually now be willing to hear what I have to say.

You can read about that conversation here:

As regular readers of this blog will be aware, Nevermore kind of thrives on controversy. We like to talk about taboo topics.

This isn’t just because we’re into controversy for controversy’s sake, although we have learned that shock appeal is one way to get clicks.

The reasoning behind this is that it was necessary. Leftist political discourse had become paralyzed by politically correctness. People were so afraid of offending one another that they were tiptoeing on eggshells all the time, afraid to voice their true opinions.

Basically, the Overton Window had shrunk so much that meaningful political discourse had become impossible.

Nevermore didn’t start out by deliberating trying to piss people off. If you go back and read our early material, we were very diplomatic. We were ignored.

Eventually, I made a conscious decision to start being outrageous on purpose. I realized that I was in a pretty privileged place to be able to speak my mind with minimal consequences.

Academics and professional journalists have their careers to think of. I don’t.

I don’t fault people for wanting to put food on the table, especially when they have families to think of.

I was in a position to be able to stick my neck out and live to tell the tale, so I decided to do so.

So, I made it my mission to say all the things that I thought needed to be said. My logic was this:

There were five main taboos which Nevermore had in its sights, namely:

• The taboo against criticizing “public health measures”

• The taboo against criticizing feminism

• The taboo against criticizing trans ideology

• The taboo against criticizing Zionism

• The taboo against criticizing racist anti-racism

I think that by now we have had significant success in opening up the conversation in all five of these areas, although I have no way of knowing how much credit is due to us.

Basically I just think that Nevermore has its finger on the pulse of the culture war, and that the Left has lost the culture war. A lot of leftists buried their heads in the sand, but that’s become increasingly untenable.

Now, we here at Nevermore basically consider ourselves post-left, even coining the term NOR-ist to describe where we stand. This word comes from the phrase “neither left NOR right”.

That said, we’re fully ware that in the Canadian context the anarchist movement has been historically aligned with the Left, who tend to share our opposition to war, racism, fascism, police violence, and so on.

It’s not like it is possible to create a new social movement in Canada from scratch without the left.

Also, I really don’t think that a right-wing revolutionary movement has much chance of success in Canada.

For one thing, one of the most important potentially revolutionary forces in Canada in the Quebecois working class, which traditionally holds quite socialist values. Indeed, no revolution in Canada is likely to succeed without this crucial demographic.

A truly revolutionary movement must transcend the left-right political divide, and that is why we have made it our mission to engage both with the right and the left.

The way I see it, a successful revolutionary movement in Canada would need to succeed in uniting the Quebecois left, indigenous sovereigntists, and rural white Albertan Christians. A tall order, to be sure, but not impossible.

Anyway, I have decided to stop posting things specifically intended to anger woke leftists. Hopefully, now that we have attained some prominence, a diplomatic approach will be more effective at advancing our political goals.

Going forward,

NEVERMORE WILL NO LONGER PUBLISH ANTI-FEMINIST TIRADES

This one is easy. I was mad at women for a few months. It happens to the best of us, okay?

Based on the reception of my critiques of feminism, a lot of women actually sympathize with my views. I think there is widespread recognition by now that the #MeToo movement was kind of a disaster.

I will point out that the #MeToo movement was started by the CBC.

NEVERMORE WILL NO LONGER PUBLISH GRATUITOUS DUNKING ON TRANS IDEOLOGY

This one is easy too. I’ve said what needed saying. Now that’s it’s become popular in the alternative media to dunk on trans people, there’s no point in us participating in the pile-on.

We reserve the right to critique trans ideology if we feel the need to, but I feel that it will be best to let the dust settle on this one.

The last thing I’ll say on this subject is that in my opinion, it is insanity for children who are too young to consent to sex to consent to irreversible and unnecessary medical procedures that they may well live to regret.

If I was a parent, I really wouldn ‘t teachers telling my kids that the solution to body image dysphoria was drugs.

In my opinion, the solution to body image dysphoria is to absorb the wisdom of the Serenity Prayer.

THIS BRINGS US TO THE QUESTION OF ZIONISM

None of this addresses the fact that some contributors to Nevermore have certain views about history that are anathema to some.

The way to settle this is through open, honest, and respectful debate.

Specifically, I think that it is important that we confront the taboo about telling the truth about the influence of Jewish bankers on world history.

I refer people to Paul Cudenec’s book on this subject, which you can find here.

I have previously offered a $100 reward to anyone who can find an error in Cudenec’s book, and no one has taken me up on my offer yet.

I am not a historian, and it could very well be that I have published erroneous claims, or made claims that lack important context to be properly understood.

Yes, it is true that conspiracy theories about Jewish bankers fuelled the rise of the Nazis, but that doesn’t mean that knowing the truth about history makes you a Nazi. The truth is ideologically neutral. Something is either true or it is isn’t, and if we have published inaccurate claims, the proper thing to do is set the record straight.

No one is saying that all globalists are Jewish, or that all globalists are Jews.

Nor are we saying that all Jews are Zionists, or there all Zionists are Jews.

Noam Chomsky once said:

“I don’t mind the denunciations, frankly. I mind the lies. I mean intellectuals are very good at lying. They’re professionals at it, in a wonderful technique. There’s no way of responding to it. If somebody calls you, you know, an anti-semite, what can you say? ‘I’m not an anti-semite.’ Somebody says you’re a racist, you’re a Nazi, you always lose. The person that throws the mud always wins. Because there’s no way of responding to such charges.”

What I have been doing is setting things up so that a much-needed re-assessment of history can take place.

Let’s get one thing out of the way - I’m not a Holocaust denier. I do believe that we should be allowed to question the official narrative provided to us by the winners of World War II.

As everyone knows, history is written by the victors, and currently, those victors want us to believe that the ethnic cleansing of Palestine is somehow morally justifiable because of the Holocaust. I say enough already.

I’ll quote Chomsky again:

“I don’t think the way to deal with neo-fascist groups is to try to shut them up forcefully. You should try to win the argument.

So, this is an invitation to all my Leftist critics. If we are wrong about something, please correct us with actual facts.

Specifically, I have claimed that the Rothschilds funded the Bolsheviks in Russia. According to my critics, this theory has been “roundly disproven”. If this is so, please explain to me how exactly I am mistaken.

In the spirit of starting a dialogue, I have republished my controversial Taboo and the Zeitgeist piece, which is based on Paul Cudenec’s Enemies of the People.

CHARTING A NEW COURSE FORWARD

So, given that we here at Nevermore are now the most outspoken anarchist critics of Zionism in the world, where do we go from here?

The truth is that we see Zionism as a racist and fascist ideology. Given what’s going on in Palestine right now, I don’t see any reason to take that back.

Perhaps Zionism wasn’t always fascist, but in 2023 it is.

ZIONISM IS NOT THE SAME THING AS JUDAISM

We do not equate Zionism with Judaism, and neither do we equate Judaism with ultra-rich bankers. But certain Jewish elites use charges of anti-semitism to silence their opposition, and for that reason we feel impelled to challenge this tactic by tackling it head-on.

That said, I think that I’ve said enough on the subject for now. I don’t want to be pigeonholed as the guy who’s always ranting about “the Jews”.

Because I know that some of you out there care about such things, I’ll point that at least two members of the Nevermore collective are Jewish. We haven’t really had any friction over my position on Zionism. Plenty of Jews share my opposition to Zionism.

That said, I think that in order for this to be a dialogue, which is what’s needed, we need to open up the floor to people who have different perspectives than we do.

So, this is a message to those who disagree with our analysis or our reading of history.

We will give you the platform that we’ve worked hard to create. If you want to give us a lesson about historic anti-semitism in the anarchist movement or how we’re being dangerously irresponsible by talking about Jewish bankers, we will give you the platform to say your piece.

It would be amazing if we weren’t wrong about something!

All this to say:

PLEASE CORRECT US IF YOU ARE ABLE TO!

I even have some ideas about themes that some Jewish history buffs out there might be able to help me with.

The biggest question marks that I have regard:

• The Khazarian conversion theory

• The Sabbatean-Frankist hypothesis

  THE KHAZARIAN CONVERSION THEORY

After reading The Thirteenth Tribe by Arthur Koestler, I now believe that most Ashkenazi Jews are descended from Khazarian converts to Judaism. This doesn’t mean that I don’t think that they’re “real Jews”, whatever that means.

I think that this history is controversial because it weakens the Zionist claim to the Holy Land. Why else would Ashkenazi Jews be so reluctant to admit that they’re descended from Caucasians or Turks rather than Semites?

I can’t fathom of why else Jews seem to be in denial that Khazaria even existed. If anyone out there wants to write us something about the true history of Khazaria that will help us put things in their proper perspective, Nevermore would be happy to publish such a thing.

Whatever the case might be, there was a country called Khazaria, and the king of that country did convert to Judaism, and there was a Jewish kingdom in Eastern Europe for hundreds of years. Isn’t it weird that no one ever told you that? It kind of seems like someone has a vested interest in keeping things hush-hush.

I’ll point out that if the majority of the world’s Jews are not Semites, the term “antisemitism” is even more of a semantic abomination than I previously thought.

In any case, the term “antisemitism” is absurd when applied in regards to the War in the Holy Land, because Arabs are indisputably Semites.

I also think that some Jews are very attached to an idea of racial superiority that is connected to them being “God’s chosen people”. Personally, I think that this idea is based on a misunderstanding of metaphysics, and I am happy to engage in debate with anyone about this question.

I’ll be up front with my bias. As a pantheist, I consider the idea that any race is more special than any other to be so blatantly absurd that it isn’t just false - it’s non-sensical. We are all manifestations of God’s love, and our essence is that infinite love. If you feel threatened by the idea that your race isn’t somehow preferred by the Supreme Being, you really shouldn’t be.

THE SABBATEAN-FRANKIST HYPOTHESIS

The other controversial thing that we’ve posted about the hypothesis that the Rothschilds are part of a heretical Jewish cult known as Sabbatean-Frankism.

According to this theory, the current rulers of the state of Israel are basically Satanists. One way to think about them is as apocalypse accelerationists.

Apparently, they want “hasten the redemption” by doing so much evil that God will be obliged to send the Messiah to redeem the world. If anyone has a better explanation for the current actions of the IDF in Gaza, I’m all ears.

By the way, I didn’t get this idea of Sabbatean-Frankism from some neo-nazi website of something. I first learned about this stuff from THE RAGING RABBI.

I highly recommend checking out this interview. I learned a ton from this guy.

I also later interviewed another Jewish conspiracy theorist who told me about some of the same things. This interview is also well worth a listen.

Anyway, it definitely does seems to be a fact that a Jewish apostasy called Sabbatean-Frankism did exist. If someone would care to set the record straight about this group, we would be happy to publish such a thing.

If someone can somehow disprove that there is historic continuity between the Sabbatean-Frankists and the Zionists, for instance, Nevermore would gladly publish it.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, my plan is to begin making a pivot, which has as its eventual goal the creation of a revolutionary movement transcending in Canada.

My goal is no longer to antagonize Leftists, but to engage in dialogue with them.

As part of this shift in editorial policy, we will no longer post content deliberately intended to anger Leftists or to dunk on the woke left.

I am happy to see that my former comrades seem to have taken a principled position on Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, and to me this is one of the most important issues of our day and age.

In particular, Crimethinc has been providing absolutely stellar coverage of the War in the Holy Land, as well as talking about the situation in Armenia, which is also important.

Although I have often accused the woke left of losing the plot, there are signs that some leftists have gotten their bearings again.

I will point out that I do not have full editorial control of Nevermore, meaning that if other contributors wish to publish provocative content, they will be free to do so.

I'll also take this moment to announce an upcoming break, which will likely last between two weeks and a month.

I’ll use that time to reflect on how exactly to go about pursuing a strategy that is based on building unity rather than hammering away on divisive issues.

Love & Solidarity,
