Snipet from the Editorial (O&R No. 2) page 107.

Our Twitter account has been suspended for no discernable reason. It has been online for less than a week and contained nothing but a handful of promotional posts for our latest journal.

⚠️

After a rather painful process of waiting for the reprints of the inaugural issue to arrive from the printers, we are happy to say that they have indeed arrived today, and all orders will be fulfilled over the weekend.

Apologies to all who have been waiting, and thank you for your patience.

First batch of local and overseas orders have been mailed today. The remainder will be completed over the weekend.

Remainder of all outstanding local and overseas orders have been dispatched.

Thank you all again for your patience.

⚠️

Some local (Australian) purchasers have recieved an email that thier order has "arrived". This is some anomaly with the shop's bot. Actually, the orders are in the mail, and are due to arrive shortly.

⚠️

All domestic (Australian) orders should have arrived by now.

International orders (US, Canada, UK, Portugal, Hungary and Japan) are well and truly in transit, probably half way to thier destination.

🔊

We've promoted the BAC in our pages because they provide a much needed forum of representation for Australia's foundational population.

Be sure to check out thier initiatives.

🔊

No. 3 of the O&R is being typeset now and will shortly be sent to the printers.

👉🏻 Major topics include: America's Krushchev Moment, the Universal Homogeneous Superstate, Voegelin and an ancient Egyptian struggles with his soul, Richard Price and Conservatism: Truth, Virtue and Liberty.

👉🏻 Long form book reviews on the meaning of culture and identity, capitalist realism, Australia's British antecedents, postmodern reflections on contemporary society, and a discussion of the themes in a major self-published dissident work.

More details will come soon 👌🏻

🔊 Those attending the BAC "PAC" tomorrow in Brisbane (see details in attached advert) will be able to buy a copy of the recent issue.

👉🏻 Of particular interest will be Dr. Frank Salter's work on "Multiculturalism as Majority Anglo Strategy", among many other items of interest on the topics of identity and Australia's foreign relations with Asia (more details here).

🔊 Mark Richardson from OzConservative uses an essay from the inaugural issue of O&R as a platform from which to write about the discrepancies in how identity is considered in the West: "Why is the West treated differently?" Be sure to check out his thoughtful analysis.

🔊 Issue No 3 is forthcoming from the printers, soon.

🔊 The importance of physical publication cannot be stressed enough. There is a reason this is happening right now across the globe, and anyone who considers themsleves an intellectual dissident of any type should take note.

I recall some years ago, there was a snarky phrase used by the editors and contributors to the vDare website referring to print material as "dead tree format", or something along those lines. The condescending attitude to those who still valued print was palpaple.

So... where are they now? Lawfare has essentially nuked thier operations and the website is non-existent in any user friendly way. Woopsie!

Thankfully, under some pressure from readership, they did put out a paper quarterly, which is now defunct. But between that and the online material, only the "dead tree" remains alive. The irony...

True, print publication has an infinitesimally smaller reach and exposure. But it is virtually impossible to censor unless of course the nerds behind shadow banning algorythms plan to get off thier silicon valley beanbags, put on thier walking shoes, knock on the doors of every subscriber and retrieve problematic material directly. The Soviets tried this. It didn't work. But the technocratic defenders of "freedumb and democracy" will achieve it in cyberspace at the hit of a button.

You all know this, of course. But it's worth repeating: traditional print media may be a small shop, but it will never die. And it will never die because it is essential, and real.

The O&R was intended from the outset to be a print only journal of substance. Only articles and essays that have a long shelf-life will feature there. Perhaps at some point in the future an online version (let us call it, "fleeting ephemeral format") of each contribution will be uploaded. But we believe that our readers are serious people, and serous people make an effort.

There are a number of dissident publishers out there right now. The space is ripe for the proliferation of books and periodicals in the "old school" tradition. This will be the major backbone of intellectual resistance to the stale status quo.

You can participate in this movement. Get real. Buy a book or journal. They (we all) need your help, and the cause is a just one.

🔊 Our friends at The National Observer interview NSW Libertarian Party MP John Ruddick, commencing with a quote from an essay in the O&R about the history of past peleoconservative and libertarian cooperation. Be sure to listen in:

🔊 Only days after we published the above, we read from The Atlantic that the project of digitising the world's out of print books for free public availability has been blocked through administrative and court shenanigans.

Moral of the story: buy old books. Buy them in print. Build a library. All reactionaries and dissidents should pride themsleves on this effort.

👉🏻 A notorious federal law, which concerns so-called "misinformation and disinformation", and which will target "opinions, claims, commentary" that the governing power does not like, has passed the Lower House and will now be sent to the Senate for review.

👉🏻There are only four Senators who have not yet declared thier position with respect to this law. To ensure the law's defeat, only two of them are requited to vote against it.

👉🏻 Accordingly, readers are encouraged to send an urgent message to these Senators, expressing your concerns, and encouraging them to vote "No" to the Digital ID.
