Kerry Boltons book is the most thorough analysis of Cultural Marxism. It is a sweeping study bursting with insights about the origins, trajectory, intellectual sources, financial sponsorship, and incredible influence of Cultural Marxism over every facet of Western society within both the Left and the mainstream Right.

When liphas Lvi composed the image of Baphomet, he tattooed the words solve and coagula or dissolve and coagulate on the inner right and left forearms of the idol. In The Perversion of Normality , Kerry Bolton does a remarkable job of surveying these twin policies of subversion (the dissolving factor) and perversion (the coagulating factor), which leftist storm troopers have been spearheading for many decades, whether consciously or not, at the behest of an international plutocratic oligarchy. The breadth and depth of the ideological assault against all that was healthy, sane, and functional in traditional Western civilization has been in need of a thorough investigation for quite some time. Boltons latest book answers the call of the hour and is a must-read.

T he worlds legends are replete with tales of those who sought to defy the godsfrom Prometheus to Maui to Doctor Faustusand to themselves become godlike, whose hubris brought destruction rather than their visions of sublimity. Within the West, for generations there have been those who imagine through their wealth or some other ego-inflated attribute, that they can, godlike, remake mankind in an image more palatable with their own visions.

Believing that man is infinitely malleable, or perfectible as was the word used in the much-vaunted Age of Enlightenment, from whence the trash today called modern emerged, and can be reshaped at a whim, an array of individuals, ideologies and movements sought to deconstruct and rebuild humanity to serve some new purpose. In so doing, millennia of traditions and customs, of what is regarded as normal for having been formed and accumulated through generations by an array of historical processes, along with races, peoples, cultures, nations and states, are expected to disappear on command, to clear the way for something proceeding from nothing, or from the abyss at most. Such grand new visions have indeed resulted in something from the abyss, or at least from the darkness of cerebral recess, creating hell on earth, but always in the name of high ideals.

The West has suffered under such grandiose schemes in the name of liberty, equality, fraternity, la droit humaine , humanity, progress, behind the inspired leadership of the Marquis de Sade, Marat, Robespierre, Marx, Trotsky, Pol Pot, Mao, Jim Jones, Soros, Rockefeller, Julian Huxley, Musk, Zuckerberg, Bill Gates; with the expectation that to reach the utopia that seems to become ever more distant, any sense of permanence and durationwhat Soros disparages as the organic , and the Critical Theorists condemn as repressive primary ties, of family, homeland, and faithare discarded as pass .

The Perversion of Normality examines an array of individuals, doctrines and movements, most claiming to serve behind the banners of science, progress, and humanity. What seem to be divergent converge by what Dr Richard Spence, a genuine scholar, calls connecting the dots. What emerges is a movement over the course of several hundred years, pushing forward an artificial construct in the name of humanity, but for the benefit of a self-anointed elite of oligarchs and technocrats. In hellish pandemonium normality is toppled on its head, in the name of normality, and the absurd, sick and destructive become the new normal.

If you envisage men as being only men, you are bound to see human society, not in Christian terms as a family, but as a factory-farm in which the only consideration that matters is the well-being of the livestock and the prosperity or productivity of the enterprise. Thats where you land yourself. And it is in that situation that western man is increasingly finding himself.

Malcom Muggeridge

T he impact of Sigmund Freud, father of psychoanalysis, on Western civilisation and, via globalisation, increasingly upon every region of the world, has been one of the primary influences of the modern epoch. It is not that Freud himself is necessarily recognised as the primary influence, but his teachings have permeated social theory and politics, even if his name is not evident. Freudianism, combined with Marxism and heavily revised, has been a lethal formula for deconstructing the primary customs, ethos, traditions and faith of the West. This was enabled due to the cultural crisis of the modern epoch of Western civilisation that starts with the Reformation and the Renaissance, proceeds through the Age of Enlightenment, the American and French Revolutions against the vestiges of the traditional Western social order, and through the Industrial Revolution, Bolshevism, and the world-expansive liberal-democratic-capitalism that is today called globalisation.

Marx and Freud were both products of the same Zeitgeist or spirit of the age, where the old certainties of faith had been destroyed by rationalism and scientism and, as Marx said, the bourgeoisie had replaced the aristocracy, the financier became lord, and God was replaced by reason. Richard LaPiere,

The Freudo-Marxian world revolution has been more enduring and encompassing than Bolshevism, while conservatives were worrying about a Moscow plot.

LaPiere wrote, about a decade prior to Freudo-Marxism becoming the basis of the New Left student revolt, that

Freudianism has become more than a theory of the causes of mental disorders and a therapy claimed to resolve them. It has become, as Freud so obviously hoped that it would, a doctrine on the nature of man that its adherents believe applicable to all mankind. And it has of late years become remarkably popular with both laymen and scientists, particularly here in the United States.

Those less beguiled by Freudianism have been inclined to find the explanation for its popularity in its exotic content; and a few observers have related its popularity, vaguely but perhaps with some validity, to the current American ethos with its liberality toward self-indulgence and irresponsibility.
