In the early hours of May 8th, 2026, 23-year-old Karen Deann Hollis, a White woman from Northport, Alabama, vanished after texting her boyfriend about a quick store run for a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. She had a medical condition that could impair her judgment, but family grew alarmed when contact ceased. Eight days later, on May 16th, her loved ones—searching an area flagged by electronic evidence—discovered her remains encased in a large black trash bag, dumped just 10-15 feet off I-20/59 eastbound in neighboring Greene County.1

Northport police and the Tuscaloosa County Violent Crimes Unit suspected foul play from the start. Security footage, witness statements, physical evidence, and cell phone data tied 44-year-old Randall Lendell Dejourney, Negro, to Hollis: images showed him walking with her near her Georgetown Apartments area, then later carrying a large tote matching the disposal bag. Cell tower pings aligned his movements with hers and the dump site. He was arrested and charged solely with abuse of a corpse. Bond was set at a modest $15,000 cash; he remains in Tuscaloosa County Jail.2

The Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences is conducting the autopsy to determine cause and manner of death. Authorities have confirmed additional or upgraded charges—potentially including homicide—are likely once results return. Court documents reportedly reveal Dejourney’s prior domestic violence history, including instructions to avoid contact with Hollis after an earlier incident.3

This case fits a recurring interracial pattern long visible in official statistics (BJS NCVS and FBI data): while most violent crime is intraracial, negro offenders account for a disproportionate share of violence against White victims in raw numbers and per-capita rates, especially for certain offenses. Local and national outlets described the victim and suspect without racial emphasis, consistent with broader media narratives. Family members have expressed profound grief, with reports of sleeplessness and loss of appetite. A GoFundMe has been set up to support her funeral costs.

A Christian National Socialist Monarch Could Have Prevented Hollis’ Death

Karen Hollis had her young life ended, her body stuffed in a trash bag and dumped off an interstate like litter. Our jew led system exemplifies the danger of when our own people are not in charge of the nation, where foreign invaders and non-Whites are allowed to attack our very nation as they please. This system cannot protect its daughters because they are the abusive deadbeat step-fathers that were forced on the children by their tyrannical mothers.

If I were the sovereign of this nation, I would confront these crimes with the clarity and resolve that is expected and demanded of this tragic crime against innocence. I would abolish any electoral pandering and shut down any activist District Attorneys. I would enact immediate accountability and I would have that disgusting piece of garbage, Dejourney, locked away until his trial.

$15,000 bond for abuse of a corpse while an autopsy crawls forward on its hands and knees? Never. That negro wouldn’t get bail, he would get justice. Decisive action ensures that predators like Dejourney face the full weight of the nation before anymore victims like Hollis are lost. These people are unwanted, unclean, and unfaithful. Innocent non-Whites must be deported and those who are guilty of heinous crimes, White or negro, must meet their Maker.

The physical security of my people is the paramount of my desires. Order must be enforced and it must be enforced swiftly and not temporary. There must be generations protected by me and then future generations from my descendants. Authority must value continuity and innocent racial protection over any kind of temporary optics.

In cases like Hollis’s, where surveillance, cell data, and footage already painted a damning picture, I could accelerate forensics, outright reject the lenient charging, and ensure that there was an actually duty to protect vulnerable women from predation.

If we want to foster stronger social norms, intact families, and cultural expectations that remove any racial violence long-term, directly addressing the all too real reality that White women ultimately pay the price for the jewish standards, then we must unify all White Christians under one banner, one Imperator, under God.

Her discarded body calls not for more bureaucracy, but for ordered authority that places the innocent first, and the only way is The New Way.

On May 9th, 2026, around 2:30 a.m., White father Trey Isles (also reported as Iles) was ambushed in the parking lot of a Circle K at 10th and Monmouth in Newport, Kentucky while his girlfriend was inside buying food.

According to family accounts, an argument escalated when a vehicle returned. One suspect stood over Isles and fired approximately 15 rounds at point-blank range—hitting his ankles (multiple times each), arm, and near his throat. His girlfriend, a nurse, provided immediate aid that likely saved his life. Miraculously, Isles survived and remains in recovery. Newport Police issued warrants for three Black suspects, all still at large and considered armed and dangerous:

• Tiance (Tianca) Combs, 30: Attempted Murder

• Terry Moses, 26: Complicity to Attempted Murder

• Kortney Alford, 30: Facilitation of Attempted Murder

Newport (population 14K) is a predominantly White city with a White population majority of 84% and a negro population minority hanging around 6%. Nothing indicates that the ambush was an organic “community” dispute, but that it was a deliberate attack against Isles for being White.

Since Isles has been shot there has been almost complete radio silence from mainstream media. No CNN panels, no MSNBC tears, no presidential statements, no activist marches.

Now compare this with the wall-to-wall coverage that the White on negro crimes get. The news is complicit in a genocide on Whites in our own homeland.

Negro on White crime fits a relentless pattern. FBI Homicide Data shows negro offenders (13% of the population) account for roughly half of known murderers, with negro-on-White incidents outnumbering White-on-negro factors of 2x or more in absolute counts despite population ratios.

While most homicides remain intraracial, the disproportionality in interracial violent crime-especially murder-is stark, persistent, and purposely not covered by our government and institutions.

I have covered numerous stories as of late and they are stacking up. Media gatekeepers and political operatives treat negro-on-White violence as background noise while elevating the reverse as existential proof that Whites are evil.

This asymmetry is narrative maintenance. Trey Isles lives—for now. Countless others like Ross Falzone don’t. The body count continues while polite society has the wool pulled over its eyes.

The Case for a National Socialist Monarchy: Hierarchy, Order, and the Failure of Democracy

As Hans-Hermann Hoppe might say, ‘Democracy is the God that failed.’ Democracy, has failed spectacularly at protecting the innocent and maintaining civil order. Of course, it was never designed to do anything but fail us.

Democracy incentivizes pandering to the lowest common denominator, racial grievance blocks, and short-term electoral cycles over long-term stewardship. The natural end state of democracy can be found in modern-day South Africa—a nation founded by the White Boers and now dominated by the black Bantus—where black communists parade on stage and shout “Kill the Boer!”

In a democracy, politicians chase votes from urban underclasses while White working families absorb the consequences in blood and silence. Media—corporate appendages of the same democratic theater—shape perception to protect the jewish preferred narratives.

In a proper monarchial system, rooted in natural hierarchy, Christian order, and hereditary duty, there is a superior alternative. This is exactly why the jews worked so hard to destroy the Christian monarchies slowly over 1,000 years.

Christian kings owe their legitimacy to blood, tradition, and divine right—so long as they prove faithful to Christ, the King of kings. Democracies are ruled by manipulated polling data and donor checks.

A faithful monarch rules for the health of the realm across generations, not short election cycles. Historical European monarchies maintained strict social cohesion, clearer moral standards, and swifter justice without the the false narrative that all groups or behaviors are interchangeable.

Crime should be punished visibly and proportionally. A potential monarch like myself would have skin in the game because the kingdom would be my inherited responsibility, not a temporary lease.

If I were king, there would be no illusion of radical equality that excuses group differences in criminality or demands we ignored patterns to preserve civic nationalism and the jewish agenda. On day one of me assuming power, I would begin deporting all non-Whites from the country. There would be no cultural assimilation or separation questions. There would be unapologetic prioritization on protecting our race and our faith. I would not subsidize dysfunction in the name of equity.

Democracy has turned the nation into a vending machine for entitlements and a shield for “sacred” victim classes. Meanwhile, monarchy aligns authority with responsibility and time preference with posterity.

In an age of mag-dumps at convenience stores and manipulated outrage, the jewish experiment is coming apart at the seams.

Trey Isles deserves justice and the only way is The New Way.

Neo-paganism is one of the most aesthetically famous answers to liberal democracy’s comically demonic ‘great mission’, and, more specifically, to the issue of how institutionally compromised much of Christianity either is or looks. However, this results in disappointment once one finds how scant their literary and historiographical references are for their claimed heritage and “tradition,” given the impassible millennium-long gap between the Vikings and 19th-century writers.

This is to say nothing of the dearth of sources pertaining to the eclectic categories, cultures, attitudes, and practices among different forms of paganism. What is extant famously comes from fragmentary material, later Christian accounts, and/or texts recorded centuries after the pre-Christian period. Their evidentiary basis for reconstructing coherent systems of belief is dubious at best.

In my exposure to neo-pagan beliefs through Notes and articles from creators both relatively famous and totally forgotten (R.I.P. Pelagius Heorth, your screeds were unmatched), I’ve noticed five errors in its thought that are required for its immediate objective of being a “superior alternative” to Christianity.

Honorable Mention: “Pagans are the only people doing stuff in real life.”

Not all neo-pagans are so pitiable as to claim this, but many do as a result of a certain demographical habit: being uppity about overtures to doing things in real life, to the point of presuming or even claiming a monopoly.

Said overtures are usually in reference to themselves as “building communities,” the first occasion where I heard this being Argent’s old streamsnipes of the Free Folk. He and Chris Bechtloff almost literally laughed them off the internet. Good times.

Yes, each demographic one can name has sections of absurd and parody-prone members, especially on the internet. The irony is that meaningful attention to neo-paganism has only been paid on the internet outside of infamy like that attained by Varg Vikernes. Meanwhile, in the hallowed halls of real life, it goes without saying that neo-pagans are not known for their charitable work—or much at all outside of worship services and participation in quickly-forgotten political efforts. By comparison, the contributions made by another often-parodied religious group in the Mormons are orders of magnitude greater than anything the neo-pagans have produced.

Honorable Mention #2: “Infighting” = we all die.

Even if this were true, its result would be the Christian having to choose between faith and mortal life. That has a famously predictable conclusion, much to the chagrin of Nietzsche.

Of course, it’s not true. Neo-pagans are a very small minority and have less real-world political influence than the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Who disallow voting.

Error #1: ‘Universalism is allegedly wrong.’

Neo-paganism is often framed as ethnically and culturally rooted, such as in their concept of the Volksgeist (the “spirit of a people”). Accordingly, belief in the gods is primarily dictated by one’s ancestral or cultural heritage; a German would worship Wotan, for example. However, some interpretations allow for a more plural approach, where one may also venerate multiple traditions or deities outside their own lineage in addition to those within it.

One of the foremost critiques of Christianity from this perspective is in its ‘universalism’—salvation being available to all people through the Lord of creation, regardless of color or creed.

In counter, inherent to the pagan framework are some serious questions one must ask:

1. Is there supposed to be a single pagan creation myth that is meant to be true over all others?

   1. If so, this would appear to rely on a form of universalism, now applied across cultures or ethnic traditions instead of racially. The claim that religious truth is fundamentally particularistic or ethnically rooted would then be contradicted. Nor can any ‘overarching racial culture’ be at play because all the creation myths are different, often radically; compare Hesiod’s Theogony to the Norse.

2. If not, how is the existence of creation explained, and what’s even the point of such a belief?

   1. If no single account is accepted as being universally true, this system lacks a unified explanation for the origin of existence and one can more or less choose what they want to believe. Truth would then become relative to culture, raising the question of whether it’s all merely symbolic.

   2. If this is the case, the neo-pagan can pick and choose whichever gods he feels like—similar to the arbitrariness of non-denominational “Christianity”—so long as whoever made them up were White.

   3. Pagan attempts at cosmogony are already troubled, as seen in one such idea being a “pregnant void”—primordial emptiness somehow containing latent potential or the seeds of creation. How this doesn’t collapse into an odd contradiction of “nothing containing something” is unclear; as ambiguity is not brilliance, contradiction is not profound.

3. Is the ‘Volksgeist’ is the source of divinity? If so, why even affirm the existence of distinct gods as objects of belief or worship?

   1. If it is, the ontological status of the gods becomes dubious. Are they independent realities, or just expressions of a collective cultural psyche? If the latter, they’re on par with figures like Guan Yu in Chinese folk religion—venerated, but confirmedly nonexistent.

   2. If the gods exist independently, one could argue that their truth holds regardless of ethnicity or culture. However, if belief in them is determined by ancestry, then religious truth is contingent on identity rather than objective, external reality itself.

   3. If they, and also myths, are allegorical or ‘spiritual,’ how is this not just symbolic reductionism a la the New Age movement? The most coherent a framework like this could be is to treat religious figures as archetypes rather than existing entities. I.e., Jungism (after Carl Jung).

   4. If the value of a religion lies primarily (practically, only) in serving a cultural and/or ethnic identity, how would this be any different than Giovanni Gentile praising the Catholic Church for its social and national utility, with no mention of it being true or untrue in itself?

      1. “The Fascist State is not indifferent to religious phenomena in general nor does it maintain an attitude of indifference to Roman Catholicism, the special, positive religion of Italians. The State has not got a theology but it has a moral code. The Fascist State sees in religion one of the deepest of spiritual manifestations and for this reason it not only respects religion but defends and protects it. The Fascist State does not attempt, as did Robespierre at the height of the revolutionary delirium of the Convention, to set up a “god” of its own; nor does it vainly seek, as does Bolshevism, to efface God from the soul of man. Fascism respects the God of ascetics, saints, and heroes, and it also respects God as conceived by the ingenuous and primitive heart of the people, the God to whom their prayers are raised.”

         - The Doctrine of Fascism, p. 9.

4. As universalism is to be opposed, so too is universally standardized dogma. This, however, leads to a dilemma concerning those who claim to be pagan but have politics opposed to right-wing neo-pagans, such as Wiccans. How could an anti-White pagan, or a New Age pagan, not count as pagan?

   1. If politics or practices, however deep, self-evident, or bound in nature they’re held to be, are the basis on which such exclusions can be made, such a group and/or belief system would be enforcing a form of dogmatism, plain and simple.

   2. Furthermore on politics: If exclusion is done based on political differences, this would demonstrate that sharing political goals is more important than anything to do with faith. Indeed, faith itself would be nothing but a pretense or secondary justification for ideology.

5. How could there be a ‘pagan European identity’ without universalizing what’s supposed to be tribal?

   1. Even the terminology of an “Aryan culture” or “European pagan identity” requires generalizing the tribal and/or familial to suit a supranational category.

   2. Today’s neo-pagans draw primarily from Northern European ethnic traditions—of which no two are the same to begin with—often supplemented with influence from 19th-century Romanticism and figures like Friedrich Nietzsche. However, the pre-Christian intellectual and institutional foundations of Western civilization are not Norse, Celtic, or Irish, but Greek and Roman. What results in a discontinuity, where the claimed inheritors of a tribe, race, and continent can’t even rely on their own pedigree to make that claim. Furthermore, say Europe’s nations become pagan; how would this need for stolen inheritance not cause tribal and nationalist tensions between the different peoples?

Error #2: ‘Christianity is Escapism’

This is taken from Nietzsche, the idea that Christianity’s sublimation of earthly life to that of judgment and the afterlife is “an escape.”

This assumes that belief in an afterlife undermines and even invalidates the significance of earthly life. However, we all know that something must happen after death, or else there’s no objective basis for life being considered important or meaningful to begin with.

What results is another conundrum, irrespective of whether any given neo-pagan belief system affirms the existence of an afterlife.

1. If there IS a pagan afterlife, is it eternal?

   1. If so, then the ‘escapism’ critique is plainly hypocritical. If a pagan system affirms an afterlife—whether eternal or otherwise—then it appears to adopt the very feature criticized in Christianity. In that case, the charge of “escapism” risks becoming internally inconsistent.

   2. If there is no enduring post-mortem existence, we then return to the age-old problem that life has no objective significance without an eternal condition to override entropy—that is, eventual dissolution over sufficient time.

2. If there is NOT a pagan afterlife—or none at all—see the ‘b’ above.

There’s also the belief that time is cyclical. Even if possible, an Earth that lives forever is a pointless one; repetition alone does not necessarily resolve the problem of meaning; an endlessly recurring process does not, by itself, establish lasting significance or purpose.

The notion that “Christianity is escapism’“ is quite ironic when you take into account how pagans also honor their Christian ancestors.

When it’s convenient, anyway.

No, not even based on ‘they didn’t know any better.’ Merely convenience.

Error #3: ‘The differences between different denominations of Christians aren’t really important.’

Wotan’s printing press will start bouncing checks if it can’t get by milking paper-thin images of Christianity in “youth pastors,” the “religious Right,” the perennial low-hanging fruit in stereotypical Americanist Protestantism—most importantly the allowance to pretend that being able to critique an Evangelical magically makes you the slayer of High-Church Protestantism, Catholicism, and Eastern Orthodoxy. Hence why you never see pagans trying to argue with Orthodox or Catholic priests, and almost never with well-educated Protestant pastors.

An example of a vast difference between two Christian denominations is found in the comparison of Eastern Orthodoxy to Evangelicalism: Evangelicals are overwhelmingly represented in the Christian Zionist camp, while the Orthodox routinely called Jews the ‘Synagogue of Satan.’

This also reflects poorly on their historiography: for instance, any neo-pagan effort to understand the history of the early Church would be confounded by the need to understand and take account of famous heresies like Arianism, Gnosticism, and Nestorianism.

Error #4: ‘Christian identity is inherently anti-White.’

The neo-pagan perspective labels Christianity as inherently ‘foreign.’

Two examples of where this label fails are as follows:

1. The want for all peoples to be Christian does not mean progressive mongoloidism or ‘replace Whitey with immigrants,’ just like being neo-pagan does not mean being gay or a furry regardless of whatever bad-looking cases could be found. This notion relies on finding it novel that, if all 8 billion people across the world were Christian, Christianity would be largely non-White. One wonders if the prevalence of folk religion among Hispanics, Africans, Indians, etc. makes paganism the most brown-coded religion in human history.

2. This is a case where honoring our ancestors isn’t convenient for the neo-pagan (alongside decrying Alaric the Goth, Charles Martel, and others as “Jew-worshipers”). Recall Caesar’s conquest of Gaul, where tribal infighting allowed a people to be systematically conquered by an invading force otherwise numerically inferior to them.
   If Europe remained pagan, how exactly would it have fared against the Muslims? How would the Greeks have fared against the Rashidun Caliphate? How would the Visigoths and Franks have fared against the Moors? How would Europe itself have fared against the Ottomans?

   1. Answer: Not well.

Error #5: ‘Christianity = Judaism and also modern Israel somehow.’

The foremost problem for anyone looking to nurse an interest in religious studies and the history of religious institutions is how the conclusions of scholars and enthusiasts alike are largely determined by their belief. In the Christian case, if Christ is not God, the natural conclusion is that He is a “Jewish leader” of dubious historical documentation whose life, words, and deeds are undoubtedly—though maybe not intentionally—embellished by His followers.

Of course, this is more logically flawed than people realize. If the accounts of the Gospels are false, what exactly are they? To answer this, modern historical sources who reach this conclusion often resort to making authoritative claims about the intentions of the Apostles in what’s only NOT accepted as an instance of egregious cultural bigotry because it’s about the Church.

Even Christian sources can fall prey to this.

The Gospels were not meant to be a historical or biographical account of Jesus. They were written to convert unbelievers to faith in Jesus as the Messiah of God, risen and living now in his[sic] church and coming again to judge all men. Their authors did not deliberately invent or falsify facts about Jesus, but they were not primarily concerned with historical accuracy.

- Thomas Bokenkotter, A Concise History of the Catholic Church: Revised Edition, p. 8.

“They weren’t lying, but they weren’t concerned with telling the truth.”

Your guess is as good as mine.

But such dancing is futile. The basic fact of the matter is that if the accounts of the Gospels are false, as with the naturalistic doubt of the Virgin Mary giving birth to Christ without having sex with a man, then some degree of falsification had to occur and the Apostles would have known of it. We’re then meant to believe that these learned men unanimously dedicated their entire lives to this lie, never betrayed it outside of one episode—the bribery of Judas Iscariot—and persisted in it even in the face of poverty, persecution, imprisonment, torture, immortalizing documentation of their misdeeds like St. Paul’s past as a Jewish persecutor, and death itself.

Even still, though the neo-pagans are more eager than most to call Christ a fictional Jew—for obvious reasons—it’s not irrational for them to do so; they’re working within the same limitations as any other non-believer.

What is irrational is to take this wrongheaded historiography and take it into the realm of absurdity.

Alongside neo-pagan complaints in the comments section of our previous Why White Christians and Pagans Cannot Coexist article, an example of this ‘in the wild’ can be found in the beginning of a sentence from this Note by :

“The whole of the Jewish tradition from its Iron Age henotheism, to the Jerusalem Church established by Peter, and through Augustine and on further…”

This is one of the biggest and most bizarre failings to understand history that one can find.

’s Why ‘Judeo-Christian’ Is a Myth article sums it up:

Christianity proclaims that the Law has been fulfilled in Christ. The Talmud reflects a worldview that not only rejects this claim, but in key passages, actively opposes it. For this reason, the two cannot be reconciled into a single theological tradition.

[…]

Christianity teaches that Christ rebuked corrupt religious authorities and revealed the truth of God. The Talmud presents Christ as condemned for doing exactly that.

The same pattern appears in other passages. In Sanhedrin 43a, Jesus is described as being ‘hanged’ on the eve of Passover, after accusations are made against Him. The text frames the event as a legal process and presents His execution as justified. The Talmud does not deny that Jesus was put to death, it reframes that death as warranted. And openly and proudly accepts Jewish responsibility.

This isn’t difficult to understand, but I doubt that any neo-pagan perspective could accept it without faltering. Without this error, they can’t explain why the most healthy and powerful state of humanity ever achieved was beaten by a “desert cult” of peasants, mystics, and “nobodies.” They can’t maintain the conditions of ‘God being dead’ that allow for Nietzsche to be upheld as the only available latter-day prophet. They can’t ignore claims that Christianity or its claimants were assaulted by the forces of demonic progressivism as with the cases of the French and Russian Revolutions—such would deprive paganism of its claim to exclusive sympathy. can’t seriously resist the fact that Christianity is foundationally European. Nor can they dismiss historical claims about Christianity’s role in shaping European identity, or reduce its development to purely external or contingent factors, etc., etc.

Going Forward

, in describing the tendency for online discussions to loop around pleasing questions while never getting to uncomfortable and productive ones, gives neo-paganism on Substack as an example:

Side A starts with Argument A1, then Side B replies with Counter-argument [B1], only to be confronted by a counter-counter argument A2 to which they retort with their own reply, B2.

The dialectic keeps going like this (A3 vs B3 followed by A4 vs B4 etc etc) until we get to something like A15 vs B15 and then something changes. One side (usually the side who started the argument so let’s call it side A) doesn’t like the implicit frame created by argument A15 vs B15 and therefore decides to blow up the conversation, either by reframing, trivializing the controversy, or otherwise creating an emotional dynamic that forces everyone to quit.

This implicitly restarts the internet’s perception of the problem, a “chat bot reset” where everyone watching walks away thinking “it’s complicated”. Invariably, when the conversation starts up again, people never start the new argument with A15 vs B15, they argue A1 vs A2, which is what side A likes doing. This circular dynamic is ideal for feeding an audience endless content, but never accomplishes anything because it steps around the crux that only develops later in the conversation.

Example here would be Paganism v Christianity on Substack. The controversy always starts with the accusation/question:

A1/B1 - “Why are modern Christians so weak and is this weakness destroying Western civilization?”

But invariably this dialectic leads, through many stages, to a more productive and advanced question:

A9/B9- “So what do pagans actually believe and how does this lead to the ethical behavior necessary for civilization?”

Pagans love the first (superficial) question and hate the last (critical) one, so they reset the chatbot and the conversation always starts once more from the beginning with nothing greater learned.

My experience, though I assume I haven’t seen what Greene here refers to, is that neo-pagans don’t have an issue with providing an answer to the question he presents. The issue is that the answer is of no use, as with their narratology:

1. Pagan White populations are immune to the winds of change—thinking that time will go on forever in (purpose-negating) infinitude, they by-necessity have to claim immunity to entropy—due to the alleged ‘timelessness’ of the ‘Volk’ whose ‘people’s soul’ is by itself the source of divinity but isn’t the god to worship, and all instances of change or defeat are entirely due to malevolent foreign actors. A pagan White population can never do anything truly wrong or stupid, and paganism is both the strongest state of man ever and the historical victim.

2. Liberalism taking some heritage from Christianity means that Christian ideas were poisonous from the beginning, but this conveniently doesn’t apply to paganism through whatever Christianity “took” from it. In fact, it actually means that whatever cool stuff Christians did is actually pagan.

This extends to complaints of “infighting.”

Neo-pagans would be a negligible minority outside of its recent right-wing politicization, and as this relies on failing to handle the Christian faith as egregiously as is needed to avoid paganism’s otherwise obvious insufficiencies, its existence is literally an instance of infighting perpetrated by a small group of at-best questionable intellectual, religious, and institutional value who can’t consistently treat those they complain at as they want to be treated without losing their talking points and more of their identity than they’re aware of.

Fin. No ‘Jew-written’ Bible quotes needed.

On Monday afternoon, May 11th, 2026, 46-year-old Tyler Brown of Boston walked down the middle of busy Memorial Drive near the Charles River and Harvard University, methodically spraying an estimated 50–60 rounds from an assault rifle into traffic. Two innocent drivers were critically wounded in what authorities described as a random outburst. Brown was eventually stopped only after a Massachusetts State Police trooper and an armed civilian returned fire.1

Brown, who has a lengthy criminal history involving firearms and violence toward police, was taken into custody after being shot in the extremities. He is receiving treatment in a Boston hospital. The two victims—one associated with an MBTA paratransit van—remain in critical condition. No officers were injured.2

Court records show Brown is no stranger to the system. In 2020, he fired 13 rounds at Boston Police officers in the South End during an encounter. Despite prosecutors seeking a stiff sentence, he received a reduced term after pleading guilty. Then-District Attorney Rachael Rollins publicly expressed disappointment at the light sentence.

One officer’s victim impact statement warned prophetically:

“When Mr. Tyler Brown gets out, he will hurt, or worse, kill someone.”

Probation, it seems, meant little.3

Earlier on the day of the Cambridge shooting, Brown’s parole officer had contacted authorities over suicidal statements, triggering a welfare check at his Dorchester address. He wasn’t there. Hours later, he was in Cambridge with a rifle he wasn’t supposed to have.4

Cambridge and State Police responded quickly. The trooper and a civilian (reportedly a former Marine) engaged Brown, ending the threat within minutes. Memorial Drive was shut down, creating chaos as drivers fled on foot. Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan held a press conference, emphasizing the trauma while calling for more gun legislation—standard fare after such incidents.5

Brown faces charges including armed assault with intent to murder. His arraignment is delayed due to his injuries.

My Decree

Notice how a felon with a documented history of shooting at police managed to obtain and deploy a semiautomatic rifle in broad daylight on one of the area’s busiest roads. If gun restrictions actually work, how did Brown obtain such a weapon? It turns out gun laws only affect law abiding citizens. Combine the existing firearm prohibitions for citizens and repeated leniency in sentencing, and you have a powder keg.

Repeat violent offenders, (almost exclusively Negro these days) prior interactions with law enforcement that didn’t result in permanent incapacitation, and the reality that armed civilians and responsive police sometimes serve as the last line of defense. So who are the gun laws actually for?

If I were king, people like Brown would never offend ever again. It’s time for a leader in our nation that holds these people accountable so they can’t harm innocent people. There needs to be a total overhaul of the systems that we have in this nation. There must be real accountability for those that would think to take harmful action against innocent lives. You won’t hear this from a republican or a democrat, but what we really need is a strong man that is willing to make the hard decisions and remove the invaders from our country and those who are unwelcome. America was founded as a White Christian nation and I intend to keep it that way.

On May 7, 2026, 76-year-old Ross Falzone, a retired high school teacher known for his love of symphonies, classical music, and an active life on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, was killed in an unprovoked attack at a Chelsea subway station.1

The killer, Rhamell Burke, a 32-year-old Black man with a lengthy record of violence, had been released from Bellevue Hospital’s psychiatric unit just hours earlier. Burke, arrested four times since February—including charges for assaulting a Port Authority police officer, burglary, resisting arrest, and assaulting a stranger—was detained around 3:30 p.m. Thursday after acting erratically outside the NYPD’s 17th Precinct and brandishing a stick. Classified as an “emotionally disturbed person,” he was transported to Bellevue but walked free roughly one hour later (around 4:40 p.m.), still wearing his hospital bracelet. 2

Around 9:30 p.m., Burke allegedly trailed Falzone for about 30 yards along Seventh Avenue before speeding up and shoving the elderly man down the stairs leading to the No. 1 train at West 18th Street and 7th Avenue. Falzone landed on his head, suffering a traumatic brain injury, right rib fracture, and spinal fracture. He was rushed to Bellevue and died early the next morning.3

NYPD sources described the episode as a “complete collapse” of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s mental health policies, noting that officers routinely use involuntary removal powers only for suspects to be released almost immediately. Burke had prior incidents, including an alleged assault on two White women on the subway weeks earlier; one victim reportedly declined to cooperate with prosecutors because she “did not want to put another Black man in jail.”4

Mayor Mamdani issued a statement expressing horror and ordering an investigation into Bellevue’s psychiatric evaluation and discharge protocols. Burke was arrested later Friday at Penn Station.5

Falzone’s neighbors remembered him as a “sweet and decent guy”—financially secure with a good pension, culturally engaged, and always out and about despite living in a walk-up. Burke, a former Broadway ensemble dancer (under the name Rhamell Burke-Missouri) in productions such as King Kong, had a documented history of erratic behavior.6

My Decree

This killing was not an unforeseeable tragedy but the predictable result of a system that refuses to protect the civilized from the feral animals that have been brought into our country by the jews and their allies. Revolving-door psych wards, bail reform, and fear of “institutionalization” prioritize the comfort and “rights” of violent repeat offenders over the safety of elderly teachers and White Christians.

Not surprisingly, there is racial pattern that is becoming too mainstream to ignore—yet another Negro perpetrator in a random urban assault on a White victim—fitting decades of FBI, NYPD, and victimization survey data showing stark disparities in stranger violence that White society still treats as unspeakable.

Jewish governance, captured by egalitarian dogma and racial grievance politics, weaponizes denial. It pressures witnesses into silence through guilt, crafts policy around what I call “oppression syndrome,”—where the jews feed a racial oppression narrative to non-Whites in order to keep them in a state of rebellion instead of a state of docility—rather than reality, and responses to bloodshed with more reviews and statements. While democracy rewards short-term pandering to activist blocs, where no single leaders lifelong accountability for the realm’s descent into disorder, what I am suggesting is a completely new system that this country has never had before. While they offer statements and reviews while never actually fixing anything, what I am doing is slowly showing you that there really is one option: my Imperial reign.

If I were to assume power as a Christian monarch—an ultra traditional one at that—everything would be approached with clearer eyes. A sovereign steward, ruling for life with his bloodline and legacy tied to the nations health, would have incentive to enforce order decisively: whereas I would institutionalize the dangerously disturbed, delivering swift justice without racial double standards, and recognizing natural patterns and hierarchies while making way for the state to deport any non-White Christian from our nation.

I would protect the productive inheritance of our people rather than sacrificing them on the altar of blank-slate compassion. American city streets, subways, and stairs are claiming lives because the West has abandoned the ancient wisdom that authority must serve Christ and not be subject to the whims of populism—another term for democracy.

Ross Falzone’s death is not an anomaly—it is a verdict on a failing experiment. Until we recover the will to power, name, and act on reality with firm, hierarchical order, more innocents will fall.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed a civil lawsuit in Hennepin County against the nonprofit We Push for Peace and its former leaders, Trahern Pollard and Jaclyn McGuigan, accusing them of misusing more than $6.5 million in charitable and public funds.1

Pollard, the Black founder, president, and CEO, allegedly diverted over $6 million for personal gain — funding luxury vehicles, trips to Las Vegas, massive shopping sprees (including Harley-Davidson and spa stores), child support payments, IRS debts, and his private for-profit businesses including a used car dealership and liquor store (Merwyn Liquors). McGuigan, former board chair and treasurer, is accused of funneling recurring $1,000 weekly transfers to her personal account plus hundreds of thousands more in misused grants.2

When Minneapolis sought the group’s help during Operation Metro Surge, the once well-funded organization was “utterly incapable” of responding, admitting it was barely operational.3

As scrutiny intensified, Pollard allegedly submitted false statements under penalty of perjury, created a sham “for-profit arm,” and diverted remaining contracts—including one with Whole Foods — to his new private company “Change Makers” to siphon off assets.4

My Decree

What is it with Negroes and Minnesota when it comes to fraud scandals? It’s almost like they are a glutton for punishment.

Let me be clear, this wasn’t incompetence—this was deliberate. What we’re looking at is the predictable outcome of a system that funnels unaccountable public money into “community” nonprofits led by non-Whites like Trahern Pollard, a Negro activist turned profiteer elevated post-George Floyd to “interrupt violence” in Minneapolis’s Negro neighborhoods. Instead of results, Whites footed the bills for luxury lifestyles, Harleys, Vegas trips, and a private liquor store subsidized by the very funds meant to calm the streets. But lets be honest, they are aware they can’t actually calm the streets, so they don’t bother.

In cities like Minneapolis, post-2020 “racial reckoning” poured millions into Negro-led money siphoning programs with minimal metrics or oversight. What we see are elevated community leaders from demographics with indisputable higher impulsivity, no concept of time, and a history of documented corruption in governance roles turn public grants into personal enrichment. Crime in targeted Negro neighborhoods stayed elevated or worsened while none of the funds actually went to trying to fix any of the symptoms of the Black Plague. Marxist governance + non-White contracting + no accountability = this exact grift.

A monarchy would offer a superior alternative precisely because it would enforce long time horizons and real accountability through hereditary continuity, not short-term racial patronage networks. A sovereign whose bloodline rules for generations has genuine stake in the realm’s stability—discouraging the looting cycles common in republics where politicians buy votes with grants to favored racial voting blocks before the next election.

Monarchies sustain stronger institutions, lower system corruption incentives, and better long-term outcomes than democratic systems chasing equity optics. Remove non-Whites from the equation and you reach a new golden-age.

Democracy diffuses responsibility so no one is truly answerable, especially when race shields criticism. Monarchy concentrates it in a visible, invested figure whose failures shame the dynasty across generations. Every exposed case like Pollard’s strengthens my argument: tradition, continuity, and skin in the game beat performative “community leadership” grift every time. Minneapolis keeps proving the point the hard way.

I must admit, I do not watch sports because they’re just bread and circus for the masses. But I have to admit, I couldn’t be happier for the news here tonight that the red-blooded, bald, tatted-up, zero-fucks-given, loudmouthed, unapologetic American, Sean Strickland, just absolutely body-slapped the the Muslim wreaking ball, Khazmat Chimaev, to reclaim the middleweight title by split decision.

White Boy Summer isn’t just a meme anymore. It’s a 2026 pay-per-view main event.

The Fight

Chimaev was the heavily favored golden boy import—undefeated, terrifying pressure (as long as he doesn’t shave his beard), that foreign mountain warrior aura the media (and Dana White) just can’t stop fellating. The buildup to the fight turned ugly on numerous occasions, as Strickland referred to Chimaev as a “coward” and a “dog.”

He was supposed to steamroll the outspoken White guy, but that didn’t happen. Everyone believed that the diversity pick was going to keep the belt, and keep the “future of the sport” storyline rolling. Instead, Strickland stuffed takedowns like they were nothing, landed cleaner shots in the stand up game, and refuses to gas out against a man supposedly built like a genetic cheat code.

Everyone believed that if Chimaev got Strickland on the ground, he would be able to make Strickland tap, but he couldn’t pull it off. Instead it just looked like he was humping Strickland (like a goat back in Chechnya).

For about 25 minutes, the octagon became a microcosm of everything we have been saying for years. When technique and aggressive wrestling pressure from the Chechen met American determination, stubbornness, and a chin forged in regional smoke-filled gyms, our race won.

Strickland didn’t need a dozen coaches flown in from Dagestan or Chechnya. He needed heart, fight IQ, and the willingness to keep going when the “experts” had already written his obituary.

And he won. Again.

This is the same Sean Strickland who took the belt from Israel Adesanya—the Nigerian-born kickboxing phenom turned anime gooner— back in 2023. And even though he lost it to Dricus Du Plessis, the based Boer, then clawed his way back while the entire combat sports media complex treated him like a walking hate crime for the unforgivable sin of noticing patterns out loud. The timeline is not just healing. It’s jacked up on TRT and laughing.

White Boy Summer

The reason why I am stating that White Boy Summer is coming early this year is because Strickland, despite disavowing his National Socialist grandfather, is a gateway into getting young White men to be unafraid of speaking their minds, getting them active, and putting our support around our own people and not some foreign heathen.

It’s not “white supremacy” delusion. White Christian fighters hold their own or better against concentrated foreign talent pipelines. Strickland’s second title reign is just the latest timestamp. White Boy Summer or not, we see it as proof that the American formula—messy, loud, politically incorrect—still produces winners when the lights are brightest.

The message spreads fast in the memes and group chats: Keep grinding, keep noticing, keep betting on the guy who doesn’t need a sob story from the old country. America’s still top dog in the fights that matter. Strickland just made it official for another cycle.

While the rest of society debates pronouns and imports endless conflict from abroad, one guy just reminded everyone that some patterns are worth noticing—especially when they play out in five-minute rounds under bright lights. The cope will be nuclear. Chimaev fans will scream robbery. Analysts will break down every micro-stat. Dana White will count the money and smile because chaos sells. But the belt is back where it belonged tonight. In the hands of real American.

Sean Strickland didn’t just win a fight. He kicked off a season.

As of May 8, 2026, poker influencer and Republican congressional candidate Dan Bilzerian has publicly accused far-right commentator Nick Fuentes of being a “fed” (federal informant or controlled opposition). The attack stems from Fuentes’ strategy of urging supporters to vote Democrat or sit out the 2026 midterms to “punish” Republicans, combined with perceived hesitation to back Bilzerian’s primary challenge against incumbent Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL).1

Bilzerian, running in Florida’s 6th Congressional District, has made his campaign a vehicle for sharp anti-Israel and anti-AIPAC rhetoric, repeatedly calling Fine a “fat jew,” criticizing “Jewish supremacy,” and positioning himself as a harder-line America First voice. Fuentes, known for his Catholic integralist nationalism and Groyper movement, has focused on accelerationist criticism of the Trump administration and GOP “betrayals” (e.g., Iran policy, Epstein files).2

Bilzerian’s statements include claims that Fuentes engages in “constant division, endless infighting,” flips positions (e.g., defending Epstein at times), and undermines genuine challengers. The feud has split online right-wing circles, with accusations of infighting, fed-posting, and strategic disagreements flying on X and other platforms.

My Decree

In the coliseum of mass democracy, even the self-styled rebels against the regime cannot resist tearing each other apart for likes, subs, and factional dominance. Dan Bilzerian—the yacht-dwelling poker prince with a talent for provocation—launches a quixotic primary run laced with blunt ethnic noticing against a Jewish congressman (as he should). Nick Fuentes—the non-White streamer—doubles down on burning the GOP to the ground by boosting Democrats. Result? Immediate accusations of being a fed, endless purity tests, and the dissident right eating its own in full public view.

This is not strength; it is the inevitable fruit of a system that reduces politics to spectacle, popularity contests, and atomized warlords competing for the same shrinking pool of disaffected young men. A monarch does not need to court viral outrage or triangulate between “acceleration” and primary challenges. He rules. His legitimacy flows from blood, duty, and stewardship of the realm—not from winning the next influencer beef or primary. He can enforce order without begging for donations or dodging “fed” smears (though I concede that Fuentes is a plant). There is no revolving cast of online caesars demanding loyalty tests every week.

Notice how quickly “America First” fractures along personal and strategic lines: one man’s principled stand against foreign lobbies becomes another’s insufficient radicalism. One man’s tactical wrecking ball against a compromised party becomes another’s sabotage. In a healthy hierarchy, such energies could be channeled toward rebuilding. In the republic of clout, they produce circular firing squads while the real power centers—financial, bureaucratic, and international—watch the fireworks with amusement.

The republicans (even the based ones) will frame this as healthy debate or necessary purging. It is mostly ego, spectacle, and the logic of a system that rewards division. Tradition offered kings who could pardon, punish, or direct without needing to constantly signal ideological purity to anons. Democracy offers endless midwit knife fights in the comments section.

When sovereignty is dispersed into elections, donor classes, and influencer fiefdoms, unity becomes impossible and infighting eternal. Expect more of these spectacles—more “feds,” more flips, more purity spirals—until something higher than the next cycle restores accountable rule. The court of online kings never crowns a winner. It simply keeps the arena bloody.

Neighbors described him as the “neighbor from hell” or “tenant from hell,” saying they are afraid to leave their apartments. One resident told reporters it is “always scary to leave my house.” Building management confirmed Orozco has not paid rent in over a year and is in the process of eviction through Bronx Housing Court, but the process has dragged on while residents live in fear.2

Orozco was arrested by the NYPD and charged with menacing. He was taken into custody wearing the same black dress and blonde wig. He has pleaded not guilty. Court records show prior arrests last month for similar erratic behavior, including criminal mischief and another menacing charge. He has denied wrongdoing to reporters.3

My Decree

Observe the pattern, as one must. In the once-orderly republic that now worships at the altar of “Pride,” public spaces are no longer safe from the grotesque spectacle of a grown man in a wig and dress, axe in hand, pleasuring himself in the hallway while terrified families cower behind locked doors. Anthony Orozco is not an outlier; he is the logical endpoint of a culture that has declared biological reality a “bigotry” and mental delusion a protected “identity.” Cross-dressing is no longer confined to private fetish or theatrical farce (though it shouldn’t be practiced in public nor private)—it is mainstreamed, celebrated, and legally shielded under the rainbow banner. The result? Hatchet-wielding lunatics roaming free while normal citizens pay the price in fear and lost rent.

This is what happens when democracy trades natural order for the tyranny of feelings. No king worth his crown would tolerate such public indecency and violence; his realm exists to protect the innocent and uphold the transcendent hierarchy of God, nature, and tradition. A monarch rules as father and steward—he does not pander to every splintered “community” demanding affirmation of their pathologies. He would not fear being called “transphobic” for removing a threat. He would restore order, because the realm and its responsibilities are his inheritance, not a vending machine for votes and virtue signals.

Instead, we live under a system that celebrates men in women’s clothing as “brave” and “authentic” while the actual women and children in the building must barricade themselves. The same ideology that grooms school-children with drag queen story hour now produces hallway exhibitionists with weapons. “Gender-affirming care”? More like state-sponsored psychosis. The rainbow regime demands we pretend a man in a dress is a sacred identity rather than a visible sign of civilizational collapse—and when the mask slips and the hatchet comes out, the response is a shrug, a plea deal, and another news cycle of performative concern.

The republicans will mutter about “mental health” and “more funding.” They always do. They will never name the root: the deliberate dismantling of sex, decency, and authority in favor of atomized desire. Tradition knew better. Scripture, custom, and every healthy society before the 20th century treated such behavior as the vice and disorder it is—not a parade float. A monarch’s court would not host pride months; it would enforce the peace that allows families to flourish without dodging perverts in the stairwell.

When a civilization severs itself from natural law and divine order, it does not become freer—it becomes a madhouse. Men like Orozco are not victims of “hate”; they are the predictable harvest of a culture that told them their delusions were sacred. Until hierarchy, duty, and unapologetic sanity are restored—under a sovereign accountable to something higher than the next election—expect more wigs, more hatchets, and more terrified neighbors paying rent so the regime’s pets can live rent-free in every sense. The court of the rainbow never adjourns. It simply escalates.

On May 6, 2026, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced 16 felony charges against Fay Beydoun, 62, of Farmington Hills, for the alleged theft and fraudulent administration of a $20 million state legislative “Michigan enhancement grant” awarded to Global Link International, a nonprofit/business accelerator she created and controlled.1

The charges are:

• One count of Conducting a Criminal Enterprise (20-year felony).

• Seven counts of Uttering and Publishing.

• One count of Forgery.

• One count of Larceny by Conversion (over $20,000).

• Six counts of Larceny by Conversion ($1,000–$20,000).2

Beydoun was charged in the 47th District Court in Farmington Hills and arraigned shortly thereafter. She was released on a $50,000 personal recognizance bond, ordered to surrender her passport, and restricted from leaving Michigan. A pre-exam conference is scheduled for May 20. The AG’s investigation remains ongoing, with possible additional charges.3

Prosecutors allege Beydoun used grant funds for personal enrichment—including a $550,000 annual salary, plane tickets, Tunisian rugs, a high-end coffee maker, and catering for personal and political events (including dinners at her home with Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan). She allegedly submitted false reports to the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and used forged documents, such as a fake attorney invoice. Roughly $10 million was disbursed before the grant was terminated.4

A 41-page affidavit of probable cause released with the charges details deeper Whitmer administration involvement: Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed the 2022 budget containing the earmark benefiting her longtime donor and fundraiser; text messages referenced pressure to include the funding with “no negotiations.” Beydoun had been appointed by Whitmer in 2019 to the MEDC Executive Committee, which oversees economic development grants. Nessel’s office has stated there is no evidence Whitmer knew of the alleged fraud.5

My Decree

Observe the pattern, as one must. In what should be a republic for White Christians public funds do not flow to the commons but through a velvet rope reserved for those who know the right hostesses, attend the right fundraisers, and whisper in the right ears. Fay Beydoun did not stumble into a $20 million legislative earmark by accident of merit or open competition. She was appointed by the governor to the very board overseeing economic development, served as a major donor and fundraiser, and then allegedly treated the grant as a personal ATM—$550,000 salary, rugs, coffee makers, catered political dinners—while filing forged invoices and false reports. The revolving door spins so smoothly one scarcely hears the grinding of taxpayer bones within it.

It is the predictable fruit of a system where legitimacy derives from popularity contests and factional loyalty rather than inherited duty or transcendent order. A monarch, whatever his personal flaws, rules as steward of a realm he cannot easily sell off piecemeal—his name, blood, and posterity are staked to its permanence. Democratic officials treat the state as a vending machine for their network: grants for allies, appointments for donors, investigations delayed until the optics demand action. Even here, a Democratic AG indicts a Democratic insider—proof not of robust institutions, but that the machine occasionally ejects its own when the scandal becomes too loud to ignore.

Notice too the ethnic/identity layering so common in these tales. The American Arab Chamber of Commerce connection, the Middle East-focused accelerator that allegedly delivered zero relocations, the appointment to commissions on Middle Eastern American Affairs. Modern governance loves to launder favoritism through the language of “representation” and “global bridges.” Results? Tunisian rugs and private dinners while Michigan workers foot the bill.

The republicans will call for “reform,” “better oversight,” “campaign finance changes.” They always do. Yet the same structures produced this, as they produced countless others before it. When power is auctioned every election cycle to the best coalition-builder, the winners quite naturally view public resources as spoils. A king might pardon a favorite; he does not need to pretend the treasury belongs to “the people” while parceling it to his fundraiser’s nonprofit.

The pardon comes with consequences that must be carefully weighed, while the democratic system comes with a short shuffle and then political theater. Changing with the news cycle, the consequences are minimal and the system continues as the populace forgets. And with new shakeups the cycle continues with new people to blame and new people to hope for change. If the monarchy were to have been caught in this sort of scandal, there would be no escaping it and the monarch’s legacy would be tarnished. Why? Because the monarch is the representation of the nation, and his failures are a stain on the nation. Reputation means everything to a monarch and virtue is the greatest builder of reputation.

I see this clearly for what it is: Elite capture is not a bug in mass democracy. It is the feature. The connected few feast; the atomized many pay. Tradition, hierarchy, and accountability to something higher than the next primary offered a different model—flawed, yes, but one that at least named the ruler responsible rather than diffusing guilt across “the process.” Until that pattern is confronted squarely, expect more Fay Beydouns, more $20 million vanishing acts, more solemn press conferences pretending shock at the obvious, and more 41-page affidavits quietly revealing how the governor’s own signature helped tee it up. The court of cronies never adjourns.
