The recent shooting in Wisconsin comes less than a month after a similar incident in Colorado. The one crucial difference here is the apparent ideological underpinnings that the media is playing up; already is an image of the shooter, Wade Page, with a swastika behind him and the word “NAZI” emblazoned on the front page [...]

Many, many years ago, had the unique experience of learning the “international” language of Esperanto.

A number of men’s right’s activists have made it a point to decry “chivalry” in modern society.

A common theme in the philosophia perennis adopted by some Traditionalists is that of the “transcendent Unity of all religions”. This perspective had its origins in the inter-war period, and was first discussed by René Guénon in the 1920′s, and, a decade later, in some more considerable detail by Frithjof Schuon, a Swiss-born metaphysician.
