Jeff Nyquist Quotes

“The Russians are gradually escalating. They want to create a crisis situation which can be politically exploited to break up NATO. They want to scare the West so badly, that different countries begin to capitulate. If this fails, they will use nuclear weapons. I also suspect they have a maneuver to collapse Ukraine. It may have to do with the Polish part of the Ukrainian border. I do not know what it will be exactly. Hungary might well play a role here. Hungary is with Russia.”

“Of course, the speech was necessary, and the problems must be fixed if America hopes to survive. This speech is nothing short of a declaration of war against Woke ideology. It is a turn towards real military thinking, and masculine values. Good order and rank order have always been essential to national survival. Such ideas are not without danger, of course. In my book, Origins of the Fourth World War, I called this “the problem of the Archgeneral.” Are the people in charge worthy? Are they excellent in themselves? Are they honorable or dishonorable? In every system there is hierarchy, and the quality of the system depends on the quality of the upper ranks”

“The attending contagion of irrational thought, once unleashed, can spread rapidly through a population, destroying constitutional government and the rule of law (especially if constitutional government is already severely weakened). At present we can see a rising tendency toward magical thinking on the right and the left, where dangerous policies are aggressively pushed as if the future of humanity depended on actions that cannot rationally produce the promised results.”

“I emphasized the importance of armed might in preserving the engine of progress -- Western civilization. In response to this, a reader wrote to complain that I had over-emphasized armed might. He reminded me that freedom is the engine of progress. But freedom comes in a Western package, and the West is a unique territorial space which must be defended. If this space is overrun, that which wins is unlikely to represent freedom.”

“Readers may wonder what Buchar thinks about the Western response to the collapse of Communism. "Well," he said, "There was one thing I learned that I wasn't aware of before - the level of incompetence in the CIA as far as their knowledge of the Communist system is concerned, the way it operated in Eastern Bloc countries, ignoring the importance of ideology and the level of Soviet infiltration in the agency. Something that Bill Gertz calls the anti-anti-Communist mindset in the agency. That was really shocking for me.”

“I want my new compatriots to know who and what I am, and why I am in this country,” wrote Tretyakov. “Speaking out enables me to give my qualifications, and after giving them, I can sound an alarm.” According to Tretyakov Americans think the Kremlin is an ally, a friend. “In speaking out,” he wrote, “I hope to expose how naïve this is.” Since he and his family have become American citizens, Tretyakov said he has been offended by natural-born Americans who take their liberties for granted. He wrote: “Sometimes I believe only someone who has lived in a corrupt society can truly understand the importance of America’s liberties. I find this frustrating.”

“Here he echoes Burke, whose conservative thinking emphasized the importance of natural feelings as the foundation of political institutions. If men are tribal, as Buchanan asserts, then political institutions must be based on an ethnic core. “The dilemma of those who conjured up this civil religion and creedal nation … is that it has no roots and does not touch the heart.”

“In the second century B.C., the Greek writer and historian Polybius offered his own meditation, based on a profound study of what we now call “ancient history,” though to him it was “modern history.” After discussing the necessity of equilibrium within a state in his History of Rome, and the importance of checks and balances, Polybius launched into a discussion of decadence. He said there were two “sources of decay existing from natural causes” in the state. One of these causes was external, while the other was internal. The external cause of decay admitted of “no certain fixed definition,” he admitted, “but the internal follows a definite order.”

“What Polybius said next has great importance for those who wish to understand the situation of the United States in our time. According to Polybius, “When a commonwealth, after warding off many great dangers, has arrived at a high pitch of prosperity, it is evident that, by the lengthened continuance of great wealth, the manner of life of its citizens will become more extravagant….” He further suggested that this “extravagance of living will prove the beginning of a deterioration.” Flattered by office-holders who say the people are being “cheated” by the avaricious few, the public will direct their “passionate resentment” and anger at those natural leaders who previously brought prosperity to the state. Urged on by demagogues, the people will refuse to follow the laws; neither will they be content with equality under the law.”

“Their honor is the best surety of their behavior even in misunderstandings, for they always act according to their character." Gracian warned statesmen against "becoming disliked." He wrote, "There is no right occasion to seek dislike - it comes without seeking soon enough.”

“Does anyone in NATO believe nuclear war is possible? Or is that simply too far outside their ability to conceive? Perhaps it is a question of an inward unreality or disconnectedness.”

“Perhaps he does not want to share Patton’s fate. Again, I do not understand his pro-Russian stance, or why he insists on low Russian causality figures and high Ukrainian causalities. Simple military analysis indicates the smaller country would have no forces left if Macgregor’s statements were true. So I find no sense or humility in Col. MacGregor’s positions.”

“No reaction occurs. No effective organ of outrage or countervailing force is brought into existence. An outright genocide against white Africans and their culture can continue in peace. White 4-year-olds will be raped again. They are guilty of being European and (what is worse) Christian. Their skin is pale; their ancestors were colonizers.”

“You make a very important points which have been on my mind in recent years. I have watched Christians fall prey to communist deceptions, All these celebrities are looking for money, asking for money. That is the most important part of their presentation, it seems. Knowledge and careful thought is less and less valued. Perhaps turning of Christianity into a business model is inherently evil. Maybe a project is blasphemous in the sense that the participant’s eyes and ears are shut against the truth even as they are looking towards the bottom line. It has always troubled me.”

“I don’t know many people who change their thinking. Of course, it is charitable to say they are able to think. Few people have training in epistemology.”

“We are not in the business of damning people to Hell for disagreeing with us. That they have been fooled is natural, is because they are not students of the Cold War and communism. Major scholars think our views are crazy. How are people supposed to figure this out if we are not patient with them? Russia has deceived nearly everyone. We need to forgive people if only to open their ears to our message.”

“It is true that the left treats intellectually gifted people much better than the right. This is a point I experienced myself in graduate school. The left values intellectual ability. The right does not, and the right loses by it. They seriously lose. And they will continue to lose.”
