Research for my series on Pink/Zionism caused me to expand an expected two-parter into a trilogy, which kept me scribbling for much longer than expected. Hope you find something to inform, and thanks to my first 1,000+ podcast listeners on the new Acast platform! www.patreon.com/beforewewere...

Still busy trying to set up the BWWW podcast on a new host, so a little late in paying homage to Dolly. Hope you enjoy reading the BWWW twist on things, and please like, share, or subscribe to keep the old keyboard clacking. www.patreon.com/beforewewere...

Well that’s a damn shame. "Dolly" Rebecca Parton singer/songwriter, actress, philanthropist, and country girl from Sevier County, Tennessee 1946-2026 A lot of Americans perform an American identity. Dolly, for all her glam get-up, was real, and a good American, in the best meaning of the word.

In case you’re not yet a free subscriber over on Patreon, and missed yesterday’s article exploring the multi-ethnic connections between colonial era New York and Southern Appalachia, here’s a link. www.patreon.com/beforewewere...

Hello to everybody out there who follows this page! Please feel free to reach out, comment, or just say "Hi!" I have a sense that there is a community to be found here, if I can divine the inner workings of this platform. Here is this week's article: www.patreon.com/beforewewere...

Jimmy Webb’s birthday, and parallels between Vietnam and Iran. www.patreon.com/beforewewere...

A decade later, who remembers Colin Kaepernick? Properly investigating the unexplained death of Nolan Wells on the 4th of July required the financial intervention of folks outside Mississippi - folks like Kaepernick. The cancelling of Kaepernick remains a disgrace. www.patreon.com/beforewewere...

Due to Marc Andreesson's stake in Substack, and the clear emergence of new AI algorithms there (downranking voices critical of capitalism, Israel, et al), I'll be sharing links to my articles via Patreon henceforth. What a mess we are enduring under tech-oligarchy. www.patreon.com/beforewewere...

There is a thing people call "history", which is little more than lists of names and events with dates attached. BWWW is dedicated to helping fellow Americans to understand history in a different way. Here is a link to today's long-form article! beforewewerewhite.substack.com/p/passing-ju...

There are no red pill or blue pill universes. There's only how low-knowledge vs greater knowledge changes how how we walk through the world. Whether we are an evangelical Christian or a neo-pagan witch, we probably need to learn a bit more. beforewewerewhite.substack.com/p/evangelica...

From Wounded Knee to Minab, Americans will always pick whatever version of facts and history causes them the least discomfort. open.substack.com/pub/beforewe...

Colonizers throughout history have gone to extraordinary lengths to legitimize the theft of other peoples’ homelands. open.substack.com/pub/beforewe...

What do our family surnames tell us about our ethnic or genealogical history? In America, the answer is “Not as much as you might think”. beforewewerewhite.substack.com/p/ive-got-a-...

History doesn’t repeat itself. Greed and evil just tend to look the same, whenever and wherever. #genocide #EthnicCleansing

Imagine a nation so propagandised that most people do not even know the story of their great-grandparents' world. A nation so indoctrinated to see "socialism" as evil, that they are unaware of their socialist forebears. #history #socialism #redneck beforewewerewhite.substack.com/p/when-hillb...

Is "American" a newly emerging ethnic group? beforewewerewhite.substack.com/p/is-america...

So. What's with all the Nordic runes and crusader-era iconography so beloved by our law enforcement and military? And does Pete Hegseth actually know anything about anything? beforewewerewhite.substack.com/p/white-figh...

MAGA types see Critical Theory as "woke indoctrination". But how would biblical Jesus align with this? open.substack.com/pub/beforewe...

Today’s piece asks whether Americans have ever really been taught history, or is the standard American history found in schoolbooks really just a form of cherry-picked nostalgia? substack.com/profile/1945...

With the world in a self-inflicted death spiral, history articles seem almost frivolous. But the warmongers base their violence in lies. Knowing the truth is the absolute baseline for a sane society. So I’ll keep spitting shards of truth about the subjects I know. substack.com/@beforewewer...
