    Ahmadinejad and Islamic Judeophobia Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared in Mecca last Wednesday that people in the West “insist on saying that Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews in furnaces, and they insist on it to the extent that if anyone proves something contrary to that they condemn that person and throw them in jail.” (He was alluding to British historian David Irving, who was recently arrested in Austria for “Holocaust denial.”) “Although we don’t accept this claim,” Ahmadinejad went on, “if we suppose it is true,” then the Europeans should not compensate Jews by giving them Jerusalem, they should...
  • The Culture’s Animating Values - (directors, producers see family-friendly themes on the rise)

    The conventional Hollywood wisdom has long held that religious and family-friendly movies are not high earners. But this wisdom is beginning to wane in the face of recent theater trends. The five top-grossing movies so far this year are rated either PG or PG-13, and all of them have surpassed the $100 million mark. Two of last year’s top 5, Shrek 2 and The Incredibles, were PG-rated animated films. This kind of success is causing executives to rethink their standard fare. Family-friendly movies, especially animated ones, have brought people to the movies who haven’t gone in years. And they will...
  • Orthodoxy vs. Modernity: Defending a Common Heritage (a Serbo-American on our cultural crisis)

    Chronicles Magazine ^ | 07 September 2004 (from a speech) | Srdja Trifkovic
    By "common heritage" we mean the underlying unity of the Eastern and Western wings of the Christian civilization—long split by the tragedy of the Great Schism, and now threatened by the rot of disbelief, Christophobic norms and functional nihilism rampant throughout the Western world, but still one. This beautiful part of the world is an especially apt spot from which to contemplate such unity. Here in Northern California the expansion of the West, the Latin Church—embodied in the conquistadors and missionaries from Spain—achieved its maximum geographic outreach some 250 years ago near San Francisco. Not long thereafter, the eastward expansion...

    [more Chronicles Extra!] June 18, 2004 9-11 COMMISSION: NO IRAQ LINK TO AL-QAIDAby Srdja Trifkovic The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (“9-11 Commission”) has found “no credible evidence” of a meaningful link between Iraq and al-Qaida. Its findings contradict claims by the Bush administration that such a connection justified the war against Iraq. In a preliminary report released on June 16, the commission further said that Osama bin Laden had long opposed the Iraqi leader’s secular regime and that his subsequent attempts to obtain help from Saddam were rebuffed by the Iraqi dictator. The 9-11 Commission...
  • [VANITY] A good Paleonconservative magazine?

    I've been reading National Review for a while now, and thoroughly enjoying it--save for a few writers whom I cannot stand (*coughDavidFrumcough*). But I'm beginning to think that I really ought to get a good Paleoconservative magazine to balance it out and diversify my thought. What would you all recommend? I know Chronicles is kind of the "flagship" mag for Paleocons, but I've heard good things about The American Conservative, as well. What are some of the differences between the two, and which would you prefer? Or is there a third magazine that would be better still?
