Needless to say, this inspires us at VDARE.COM to wish all our readers a determinedly incorrect Happy Easter.
The theme of personal and civilizational resurrection and redemption was explored for us on a previous Easter by Chilton Williamson.
More recently, I myself used the coincidence of Easter Sunday and the thirty-fifth anniversary of Enoch Powell’s great speech on immigration into the U.K. to explore his themes of national death and rebirth in the context of imperialism — reproduced uncannily in the geopolitical experience of the U.S. today.
The American nation — and the West — continues to pass through its Calvary. But on Easter we have faith that it will ultimately prevail.
Meanwhile, for those who know my own little family, I offer this memento from our just-concluded vacation. My email correspondence will (hopefully) now resume its glacial pace.
