Hi everybody. Just wanted to write you a quick note to tell you what I’ve been up to. In a word, the summer has been difficult. I live in a middle of a forest which, thanks to an extremely dry winter and spring, is a tinderbox. We’ve been in and out of our house intermittently, as we wait for word on whether our house or those of our neighbors burned down. Just yesterday, a house and barn on the property right next door burned to the ground, with only a quarter mile of dry forest separating us. I haven’t appreciated firefighters so much since they went up the stairwells of the Twin Towers. So far, we’ve been lucky (or blessed with the Lord’s protection, though I’m wary of saying so since a) I don’t deserve His attention, and b) it seems to imply He cursed or ignored the people who lost their homes). It’s been tough to work consistently, which is why I’ve been longer than usual getting the next episode of Enemy out. The good news is, I’ve got about 200 pages of written material and detailed outline, and all I’ve got left is to decide which sections to include, put them in the proper order, knit them together, and hit record. Wish me luck or pray for me. It’s been a stressful summer, so I’ll take whatever I can get. I’m grateful beyond words to all of you who have kept up your subscriptions. I don’t deserve that, either, and feel like I’ve taken advantage of your generosity this year, but thank you.
My friend Thomas Cyr (known online as Thomas777) has released a book that provides an excellent primer on World War 2 revisionism. I was honored to write the foreword for it, which is included below. Thomas is a wildman, certainly not the archetype of a university intellectual, but one of the benefits of the internet is that it allows intelligent, well-read guys who are obsessive over a given topic to find an audience. Thomas is very critical of the court narrative surrounding the Second World War, and is even openly sympathetic to the Third Reich - I mean, he walks the streets of Chicago rocking leather jackets bearing Iron Cross and totenkopf patches. Mainstream gatekeepers will tell you that this is reason enough to ignore him, but you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you obeyed their prohibitions. There are true insights into the nature of capitalism that you’re only going to hear from a communist, and insights into socialism you’ll only hear from a radical libertarian, and getting their perspectives does not imply that you accept their worldview whole cloth. The perspective of people who are sympathetic to Hitler and the Third Reich have been systematically excluded from the discourse, but the fact remains that your picture of the Second World War is incomplete unless you know how it looks from that perspective. It is hard to know where to start with this topic, not least because so much of the literature consists of poorly-written, badly-motivated diatribes, but you could not do much better than this book. It’s a primer on the serious discussions that have only been taking place underground until just recently. I’m perfectly well-aware of the dangers of attaching my name to a work whose contents and author are opposed so powerfully by mainstream institutions. I agreed to write the foreword because I know that Thomas is a serious thinker who is not motivated by hate or simple contrarianism. It is a book that you could share with normie friends or relatives, and I hope you will.
Here is my foreword to the book:
You are holding a remarkable book that would not have been possible in just the very recent past. The conquest of political, cultural, and even family and community life by mass media was a defining feature of the 20th century, and may be the transformation for which the era is best remembered by future historians. Never before had so much information reached so many people, or been curated and controlled by so few. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that the collective consciousness of the West was in the hands of a few publishers, television broadcasters, film studios, and the corporate and government institutions with which they collaborated.
The advent of the internet punched a hole in that system, exposing people to thinkers and ideas proscribed during the reign of broadcast media and consolidated publishing. Before our ruling factions knew what they had done, a technology designed to facilitate military command and control had empowered ordinary people with tools previously accessible only by the world’s most powerful institutions. True, a veritable flood of ungovernable forces was unleashed, the consequences of which will not be clearly seen for decades, but for all the trouble that comes with living through an age of disruption, one of its consolations is that some of those unruly forces inevitably turn out to be on the side of humanity. Thomas Cyr is on our side.
The system of control that dominated the social, cultural, and political life of our parents and grandparents’ generations was born just as the world’s first global war was being fought to a bloody finish. The United States and the Soviet Union, whatever their differences over organizational leadership and economic administration, were united by a shared determination to break the chain of historical and biological continuity among European peoples that defied their claims to have inaugurated Year Zero of a new age. The victors’ narrative of the Second World War is the load-bearing myth supporting the global order under which we’ve labored since 1945, and to this day citizens of many countries find themselves harassed, attacked, and even jailed for attempting to analyze it as an ordinary historical event. Tragically, many Europeans collaborated in their own destruction, but others refused to march quietly into the yawning grave. The latter, led by Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich, have served as the chief devils of the new state religion.
We all know the story. We were required to learn it as children, and have been forced to repeat its pieties and obey its prohibitions ever since. It goes like this: The forces of evil convened in a Munich bier haus in the early 1920s, plotting to take over the world for the purpose of exterminating whole categories of lesser human beings. Their accession to power in 1933 gave rein to the dark impulses and violent resentments that always laid just beneath the skin of European man. Naturally, the chief targets of these demons were none other than the Chosen People of God, whose passion from 1933-1945 was the culmination of 3,000 years of innocent suffering at the hands of the jealous nations. The forces of good eventually rallied to overcome the legions of Hell, but the devils, though defeated on the battlefield, continue to haunt the forests and fens at the rim of the civilized world, and are held in check only by the plucky determination of the State of Israel and the full-spectrum geopolitical dominance of the United States.
The notion that the Allies were fighting the devil himself was not merely expedient wartime propaganda, but was constitutive of the world order built from the ruins. Allied firebombing of European and Japanese civilians had no precedent in human history, and only the United States, in Korea and Indochina, has carried out comparable operations in the years since 1945. America remains the only nation to have attacked civilian populations with nuclear weapons, and that against a prostrate Japan whose leadership had been seeking a negotiated surrender for months. The “Free World,” led by the United States and Great Britain, relied on Stalin’s genocidal empire to do the heavy lifting against Hitler’s forces, and looked the other way as Soviet armies subjected Eastern and Central Europe to a campaign of mass rape, analogues of which are only to be found in the darkest chapters of ancient history. In just a handful of months after hostilities ended, tens, perhaps hundreds, of thousands of German prisoners-of-war perished in Allied concentration camps from starvation, disease, and mistreatment. Allied forces were well-provisioned and no longer engaged in active combat operations, so the dreadful fate of so many Germans in Allied captivity might have raised inconvenient questions about the challenges faced by Germans administering similar camps under conditions of total war. That is, it might have if only it had not been the devil we were fighting. All these questions, and many others regarding the administration of the American Empire since 1945, are easily brushed aside if the enemy is the devil. The Nuremberg show trials of Third Reich officials following the Second World War were, in keeping with the spirit of the times, framed as judicial proceedings, but were in fact a ritual stage upon which the founding myths of the new state religion were dramatized, codified, and finally, consecrated with a blood sacrifice of the hated enemies of all mankind.
Today, eighty years after the last shots were fired in what many Americans know simply as The War, people throughout Europe and the United States are finally revisiting the source material. Having stood witness as the mythology of the Second World War has been used for decades to justify aggressive war overseas, and to deflect opposition to punitive social engineering and demographic replacement in their homelands, they are calling into question the official narrative in ways that could not have been foreseen as recently as the turn of the millennium. Thomas Cyr is in a unique position to help the newly-curious understand the founding, purpose, and consequences of the Nuremberg system. He is a man who has roamed gutters and university libraries alike, a non-academic whose ability to synthesize ideas from diverse sources and perspectives should shame most professors. He is a gifted communicator who moves easily between court history and esoterica, and his ability to make these ideas accessible to ordinary people is why he’s been an underground internet legend since before most of us bought our first dial-up modem.
The Second World War was a war like no other, and yet, it was just a war, like any other. It was not fought by angels and demons, but by men who were both the products and the authors of their own history. Early readers of the present work are likely to have already been inoculated against the accusations typically lobbed at anyone who takes a revisionist look at the Third Reich and the Second World War, but I would ask those who might still find such accusations damning to simply read the book and judge for yourself if its pages are filled with malice. I am confident that even those expecting the worst will find Mr. Cyr’s arguments to be rational and made in good faith, with generosity toward alternative perspectives, and entirely devoid of malice toward the countless millions victimized by the greatest war in human history. Whether his arguments are persuasive will be for you to decide, a right for which we ought to be grateful since it was kept from us until so recently.
The comments are open for any questions you have for me. They don’t have to be on this topic. In fact, they can be on any topic you want. Answering them will give me a way to keep in touch with you while I hammer out the last bit of this episode of Enemy. Thanks everyone.
Man, the fires are rough. Our house burned in a wildfire in Oklahoma March 14, 2025 along with maybe 500 other houses in our area. Will pray for the safety of you and your property.
Bought the book before the hordes of the other degenerates cause it to sell out. Thanks for the recommendation! Keep up the good work, I’m praying for your home and family
