Yes, I have spoken to some people in the museum sector. They went in because they love art and history and want to present things accurately, but they come under political pressure to distort and deaccession. I recorded a little of that in my books "Artivism" and "Iconoclasm". There are many people out there like you. Thanks for the book tip. I'll try to track down a copy.

I used to work in the museum sector and I'm very depressed by the direction it has taken. Although the MA always did jump on the latest middle-class leftist bandwagon. Curators are custodians turned iconoclast and remind me of Gamelin in The Gods Will Have Blood by Anatole France.

"Humiliate, Degrade, Replace" sounds like the template for every major movie that has been released in the last 10 years. Quite literally in the case of James Bond.

If art is the selective re-creation of reality according to the artist's metaphysical value judgements--it's goal to portray man not as he is, but ought to be--ugly, repugnant, the inversion of all morality and morality.

You'll see Paul Joseph Watson has quoted you at length on his latest YouTube vid.

"The Welsh Nationalists, paradoxical as it may seem, dislike the heritage Welsh population and culture. Consider the way the Scottish Nationalist Party and Sinn Fein have promoted migration and embraced globalism."

I wonder why this is the case. As an outsider it seems baffling.

Two reasons seem prominent: firstly, most social conservative movements (including churches) have been subverted by liberalism and associated globalism. This internationalism seems to override national loyalty, even in nationalist movements. Secondly, there is a huge drive to differentiate small nations from the perceived culture of dominant neighbours - if "Conservative" ruled England can be caricatured as xenophobic then the smaller nations distinguish themselves by being the opposite, i.e. ultra-liberal. In other words, you put one over on your hated neighbours by being more liberal than them, hence the drive for ever higher migration and diversity.

Sinn Fein/IRA was never conservative. The old IRA was Stalinist, but willing to take help from the Nazi regime, and the Provisional IRA was Maoist, lately become fully 'Woke.' They just used nationalism as a disguise and a source of political energy. The same may apply to some degree to the Scots and Welsh nationalist movements. Resentment is their coinage.

I saw some very disturbing trends, for now on the margins, in the Cambridge gallery. Then I saw the staff and the docents and I felt a great fear for the future. It is as bad or worse here in the states. David Rubenstein owns most of the Founder's homes/heritage sites and it is a white humiliation ritual and Ibram X. Kendi gift shop. I saw one of his affiliates doing great work educating Americans on their history saying that the Founders were great proponents of standing armies. I did a lot of heritage site-seeing in colonial era towns last year and the docents are raving anti-white, anti-America lunatics. The tours are merely opportunities to smear whites and the historic American nation.

I don't know how we turn the tide. But, survival with our dignity in tact demands that we find a way.
