SANTA CLAUS: WHAT A BUM
I give up on Santa Claus. Year after year, he never gives me what I ask for on my Christmas list. Last year I asked, yet again, for one simple thing: peace on Earth—somewhere, any where. I even pared it down: “Dear Nick, take your pick. If global peace is too much to ask for, how about a little less suffering in Eastern Europe and/or the Holy Land?” But things have only gotten worse—much worse. As a matter of fact, we are only one small misunderstanding or a human error away from a nuclear war. People tell me I should not be submitting my Christmas list to Santa, and go directly to a higher power.
Something tells me He is pretty busy these days, what with the billions of people on planet Earth in need of dire and immediate help. But we all know, prayer certainly doesn’t hurt. I’ll try it. As this is the season of forgiveness, redemption and hope, in this November/December issue of TBR, our first set of articles deals with the courageous and miraculous lives of three Christian saints. I believe it is important for us to remember and honor our Christian European ancestors, though I realize that many readers may not be Christian, and perhaps scoff at the idea that miracles are, indeed, real and occur on a daily basis.
I am no theologian, but I do believe miracles can happen, whether they be of divine or human design. And we need a miracle or two right now. It pains me deeply to see so many of our brothers and sisters in eastern Ukraine, for instance, being blown to bits in another needless, manipulated war that only ex acerbates the demographic problem afflicting the West today. Count up the men we’ve lost via war in the past 164 years—from North America to Europe to East Asia. If we had sought peace, instead of war, we wouldn’t be in this demographic death spiral. The Holy Land—the birthplace of Jesus Himself—has been turned into a massive slaughter house.
The Prince of Peace is not happy, I’ll wager. Interestingly, we hear very little about dead Ukrainians, dead Russians or dead Palestinian Christians and Muslims. Almost all we do hear about, however, are dead Israelis —even as the Grim Reaper sharpens his scythe to take more goyim lives. Why is that? (That’s a rhetorical question.)
This brings me to a special 12-page report TBR has crafted based upon the exceptional work of a group of investigators that calls itself The Electronic Intifada (TEI). After careful examination of the facts, including meticulous translations from multiple Hebrew-language newspapers published in Israel, some shocking truths have emerged regarding the attacks launched on Israel by Arabic militias on October 7, 2023. What was reported in the Western press—though they surely knew the truth—turns out to be mostly balderdash.
What you’ll find is that there is more truth in Israeli newspapers and news outlets than you will ever get from the Western mainstream press. Why is that? (That, too, is a rhetorical question.) Read that editorial, and help TBR survive at the same time. —PAUL ANGEL, Executive Editor

A JOURNAL OF POLITICALLY INCORRECT HISTORY
November/December 2024 ❖ VOLUME XXX ❖ NUMBER 6
TABLE OF CONTENTS
LOUIS IX: KING OF FRANCE AND FRIEND TO THE POOR
BY ANNA SCHUMACHER Over the centuries, many kings and queens have focused more on amassing wealth and power, rather than looking to the well-being of their subjects. Not so with Louis IX of France, who should be remembered as one of the greatest rulers of the Middle Ages. He ended trial by ordeal, sponsored the building of Sainte-Chapelle and had a deep concern for the common folk.
ST. JOAN OF ARC: HER TRUE STORY
BY RÉMI TREMBLAY Her critics claimed she was a madwoman who heeded the advice of the devil. Others saw her as she was: an extraordinary and saintly young woman who paid the ultimate price for her love of France and disdain for invaders.
A REVIEW OF VOLUME II, PART 1 OF MARCH OF THE TITANS
BY MARC ROLAND We have dedicated much space in previous issues to Arthur Kemp’s new multi-volume Prometheus Edition of March of the Titans, and rightly so. Here we give you a glimpse inside Volume II, Part 1, which focuses on the European nation states from Switzerland to Russia—all from a White perspective.
THE CURIOUS ORIGINS OF FEMINISM
BY THOMAS REDFERN Though many believe it was a 20th-century invention, in reality the beginnings of feminism hail back much further, to the very first “Cultural Communists.” This author says the roots of feminism actually stretch back to England of the 1660s.
TEACH HONEST MIDEAST HISTORY
BY JOHN WEAR, J.D. The Academic Engagement Network (AEN) pledges an even hand when teaching the modern history of the Middle East. But how can that be so when AEN refuses to address longstanding and valid Palestinian grievances against the supremacist state of Israel?
HAS WESTERN CIVILIZATION PASSED FROM ITS FALL TO ITS WINTER?
BY PAUL T. ANGEL Many people write TBR reminding us how prescient were the works of George Or well. True, Orwell seemed to be looking into a crystal ball when he wrote 1984, but are they ignoring another sage—Oswald Spengler—who was, judging from his two-volume masterwork Decline of the West, equally as prophetic?
THE HAMPTON ROADS CONFERENCE: WHEN LINCOLN REJECTED PEACE
BY MARC ROLAND In February 1865, with the Southern resistance crumbling and Northerners pro testing the horrifying bloodletting, Abe Lincoln agreed to peace talks with Confederate representatives. But was Lincoln really interested in peace, or just quelling growing, popular Northern opposition to the fratricidal conflict?
UNCENSORED INTERVIEW WITH RADIO HOST KEITH ALEXANDER INTERVIEW CONDUCTED BY JAMES EDWARDS
In this uncensored interview, Memphis radio show host, lawyer and historian Keith Alexander speaks with TBR’s James Edwards on a wide variety of “sensitive” topics that will be of great interest to all TBR readers.
THE RISE AND FALL OF THE COLUMBIANS
BY MARC ROLAND In this article, which continues our coverage of American National Socialist movements, we learn much about the Columbians. Despite being overt “Nazis,” their popularity grew and grew, worrying authorities.
THE EVOLUTION OF CHARLES BEARD
BY ANTONIUS J. PATRICK The journey to truth can be a long one. Highly respected historian Charles A. Beard, like Harry Elmer Barnes, began to refine his opinions about who was really guilty for instigating World War I and World War II.
