The fascism is coming down fast. I’ve now been banned from Patreon and GoFundMe (although the latter still has my page up and a third of the donations I received; they refunded the rest without explanation and haven’t responded to my inquiries). The authoritarian Left is working energetically now to ban all dissenting voices, in the run-up to the 2018 elections. We haven’t seen the last of the bannings. It’s clear that I am in their crosshairs, and Muslim Brotherhood-linked Congressman Keith Ellison has already demanded that Amazon stop stocking books by people who are blacklisted by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
I wrote The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS as a challenge to the elites’ narrative about jihad and Islam. And it’s clearer every day now that the elites are brooking no challenges to their narrative, and are moving as fast as they can to muzzle them.
Given that initiative, and Ellison’s specific demand to Amazon, I don’t know how long The History of Jihad will be available, although I’ll circulate it in mimeographed form if I have to. It is listed as out of stock right now at Amazon, but if you order it now, they’ll throw in the Kindle edition immediately for another three dollars, and send you the hard copy when it becomes available. There has been incredible demand for the this book, which caught my publisher and all the retailers entirely by surprise, and now they are all working feverishly to replenish to supply chain. All of the issues should be ironed out soon, as long as the book burners don’t shut the whole enterprise down. They’re on the horizon. Click here to order now.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
By way of an open letter to JW readers, I would like to take up the topic of this present fad of taking down monuments:
To see how nefarious all this “book burning” is one needs to examine it through the lens of history. In the 17th century it was given the Latin name of “damnatio memoriae.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnatio_memoriae) There is nothing new about this; the ancient Greeks and Romans practiced it occasionally. It was considered the ultimate punishment. In our case it is not so much a punishment of the individual whose monument is being vandalized and/or removed, but a punishment against whites and European culture in general. What is pathological about it is that it is being perpetrated primarily by whites.
And this act of whites attempting to erase their own culture from the face of the Earth is, I believe, not so much an act of self-loathing, as an act of pathological virtue-signaling.
On this point of virtue-signalling, there is an interesting development in the area of psychology. In 2013 the DSM-5 was published.
(The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition is a tool used by Psychiatrists and Psychologists to diagnose and treat mental disorders. An interesting aside is that several mental health professionals have stayed with the older version, DSM-4. Why? Many say that the DSM-5 has been change in order to make it politically correct.)
One of the changes from the DSM-4 to DSM-5 is that Narcissistic Personality Disorder was removed as a disorder and made a “personality trait.” Interesting, how something that was a serious disorder is now considered a negative personality trait. Why? Apparently, we are in the midst of a narcissism epidemic. Is this an attempt to normalize NPD? I don’t know.
What is even more interesting is that the practitioner in charge of the “narcissism” section of the DSM has created whole new categories of narcissism. One that caught my eye was the new category of communal narcissism. Go look it up, “communal narcissism.” I was gobstruck when I read the description. This is a precise description of a virtue signaler! Narcissist are people who are unable to feel empathy. A communal narcissist is someone who believes that appearing moral is exactly the same as being moral. And yet they seem unable to think in moral terms, based on empathy.
Very interesting. My experience of virtue-signalers is exactly this, especially with the virulent virtue-signaler. They seem to associate themselves with Left-leaning organizations and causes. They engage in grandiose acts that are often immoral when examines directly. “The end justifies the means.”
So is Antifa a club for communal narcissists? It would seem so. These people seem to have no ability to form empathy and make moral decision based on that empathy. But rather, they want to project a grandiose image of a highly moral mission. I’ve had more than a few bad encounters with such people. They are intellectually lazy, arrogant and identify with grand ideas and movements that make them look good. Yet in their day-to-day dealings with real people they are selfish, self-serving, deceitful and downright nasty.
I think right thinking people need to speak up about this vandalism and these removals of monuments. This is going to grow until it will not be possible to stop it. Let me prove this point by referring to another case of ‘damnatio memoriae’ that some readers may not be acquainted with. Most are aware that Stalin engaged in purges. What many don’t know is that as people disappeared, their presence in the historical record disappeared as well. There are numerous photographs that in their first form were group photos of Stalin and other commissars. As time progressed and people ‘disappeared,’ so did their presence in these photos and paintings. By the time the final form of the photo was reached, usually Stalin was the only one left. This was true for monuments and for documents as well. There is a rather famous book that tracks and shows numerous examples of this evil process: “The Commissar Vanishes: The Falsification of Photographs and Art in Stalin’s Russia.” (If you’re going to buy it then do the world a favour and buy it from your local bookstore. Don’t buy it from Amazon!)
The whole point of my bringing this to your attention is that for those who think that this removal of monuments is nothing more than a temporary craze and that it will go away … well no, it won’t go away. Look at Stalin’s crazy purge of history. It didn’t stop until he was dead. And this purge of European culture will not stop until we whites are like the whites in those Zimbabwe ‘camps.’
So it’s time to stop people like that simpleton ideologue Lisa Helps, the mayor of Victoria. And the way to stop these perpetrators and facilitators of re-writing history is to call them out on their misdeeds and vote them out of office. (As far as Lisa Helps is concerned there is already a movement afoot to replace her and her cronies: NewCouncil.ca)

StellaSaidSo says
Interesting post, Flavius.
What we are witnessing with the destruction of statues and the rewriting of history is the triumph of the cultural Marxists, who have worked since the 1920s to destroy Western civilisation in order to make way for their socialist utopia. Narcissism on a grand scale, right there.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Yes.
If you examine the characters of all the communist revolutionary leaders, you can clearly see that if they are not psychopaths or sociopaths then they are certainly suffering from NPD. Think Mao, Lenin, Stalin and especially Fidel. A complete inability to feel empathy coupled with a ruthless ambition to implement a grand and highly destructive scheme.
Andy says
Thanks again for the great commentary Flavius,
Mr. Spencer on info wars with Alex Jones, open and go to bottom of the page for interview.

***** CRUCIAL REALITY *****
Flavious, you have nailed the essence of leftist sociopathology. I am an ancient 70 year senior citizen and so have encountered when — decades prior — the DSM was corrupted into a shift away from homosexuality being a disorder. Robert Spencer is NOT exaggerating by his warning that fascists are putting their suppression agenda on fast-forward as midterm elections approach. All of us must be aware of how much money funding lurks just under public-discovery awareness. Muslim organizations like CAIR plus a dozen more work 24/7 around the clock funded by petro-dollars and jihad sponsors. For new readers here at Jihad Watch, or regulars who have not lately emailed our family, friends, clergy, senators+congress — PLEASE find 10 minutes from your busy lives and send emails. Lives of their families and friends depend on knowing Islam’s supremacist essence.
bodega says
God help us get through this next 10-20 years with some sense of a God-head, some sense of love for others and the ability to articulate it in the face of such insanity. I think we will need protection and places where we can go to be renewed before we re-enter the fray.
Russell says
I just ordered Robert Spencer’s book on Amazon. I hope that it actually ships.
WESTPAC Spy says
Mine shipped. I received it last week. I started to read it; love the book Robert. But I think it I’ll save it for when I travel by plane. I’m going to finish “The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise” by Dario Fernando Morera, another book you all need to buy before it is banned
Sorry to plug another author’s book on your site, Robert, but it’s so well researched that nearly the entire last third of the book consists of end notes. It has to be that well researched to establish that we’ve been lied to for centuries. Muslim dominated Spain was not some multicultural paradise where Muslims, Christians and Jews lived in harmony. Search on the 1066 Granada Massacre and you’ll see but one example. The myth was first promulgated by Protestants during the eighteenth and nineteenth century with a deep and irrational anti-Catholic bias. Then it was picked up by the proponents of multiculturalism as well as oil-rich Arab states who used their petro-dollars to fund and pervert Islamic studies in order to rewrite history. Professor Fernandez-Morero tells the truth about what a hell hole it actually was for Christians and Jews.
But I digress, buy all of Robert Spencer’s books as soon as you can.

Robert,
Nice to hear HOJ sold out and more are on the way. I caught your interview with Alex Jones the other day and it was very informative (as always) with your well thought out responses. What was nice was Alex didn’t cut in over your talking too much. He largely let you say your peace which is a bit unusual with him. He can be a strange interviewer at times.
That said what was nice too was Alex is willing to sell HOJ at his web store. I do hope you will also offer your other books there too. I would much rather support Alex than give money to Amazon & Jeff Bezos. Like you say you don’t know how long Amazon will continue to sell your book and the Inforwars Store can be another outlet to spread the word.

I finally did something right and pre-ordered some time ago. Mr. Spencer’s work is an excellent read. Unlikely to be reviewed by the New York Times, but is still on the best seller list. Highly rrcommrnded.

No one has any idea how bad this $hit is due to how fast it is all happening, and worldwide. Everyone is bowing to the Antichrist for the fear of losing all their worldly possessions and the fear of being shamed in public, losing their job and ultimate imprisonment for all Christians and anyone who dares associate with Biblical morality. Here is a direct quote of how satanic these “terms of service” have become from everything to using webhosting, to using iphone and android apps off the app store, and every service online imaginable in between, GLOBALLY. They are not only Satanic in their tyrannical evil, but beyond human comprehension in how irrational and illogical they are. Only war will cleanse us of these types of tyrants who have done nothing but grow and grow in global power since the days the lies of Darwin and Marx were spread to the public.

Barbara Katz says
Mr. Spencer, why aren’t you selling the book on your own? Offer signed copies for an additional cost. Cut out the middle man. I would buy a signed copy from you and I bet scores of other people would do likewise. Why not do this with all the books you have written? You are right. It is only a matter of time before Amazon refuses to sell your books. Be proactive before you are forced to find another solution .
Robert Spencer says
It’s a good idea but I don’t really have the time, space, or resources to do it. I may offer autographed copies if possible but I’m not equipped for a major distribution operation.
