Earlier this year, a group of Harvard students invited me to give a private talk. They told me about the constant sickening even gloating anti-white man atmosphere at Harvard. I asked if they had even the slightest affection for the oldest, most prestigious university in the country. Well, they weren't effeminate nerds. "No!" was the answer. "Burn it down." --Jared Taylor

Meaning of "Broken Arrow." In the context of Robertson's song, "Broken Arrow" is about restoration through love.
Symbol of Peace: In Native American culture, a broken arrow represents peace and the end of conflict. It signifies a desire for harmony and reconciliation.
Symbol of Hope: The "bottle of rain" is often interpreted as a metaphor for life and renewal. It suggests nurturing and the promise of better times.
"Broken Arrow" has other meanings depending on the context:
Military Meanings
Nuclear Weapon Accident (Most Common Modern Usage)
In U.S. military terminology, "Broken Arrow" refers to an accidental event involving nuclear weapons, warheads, or components that does not risk nuclear war. This includes incidents like accidental launching, firing, detonation (non-nuclear), theft, or loss of a weapon. The Department of Defense has officially documented at least 32 such "Broken Arrow" incidents since the 1950s, with some weapons never recovered (e.g., lost at sea). No incident has caused a nuclear explosion, thanks to safety mechanisms.
Dire Tactical Situation (Vietnam War Era)
During the Vietnam War, "Broken Arrow" was a radio code phrase signaling that a U.S. ground unit was in danger of being overrun by enemy forces. It directed all available combat aircraft in the area to provide immediate air support, even "danger close" strikes near friendly positions. It was famously used during the 1965 Battle of Ia Drang (depicted in the book and film We Were Soldiers). This usage appears limited to Vietnam and is not a standard modern term for the same situation.
Other Contexts
1996 Action Film
Broken Arrow is a John Woo-directed thriller starring John Travolta and Christian Slater, about the theft of nuclear warheads. The title borrows the nuclear accident term, though the plot involves intentional theft (which would technically be "Empty Quiver" in real terminology).
1950 Western Film
An earlier film titled Broken Arrow, starring James Stewart, portrays a more sympathetic view of Native Americans and peace efforts (a "broken arrow" symbolically means peace in some Native traditions).
City in Oklahoma
Broken Arrow is a suburb of Tulsa, named after a Muscogee (Creek) tribal town, referencing the historical practice of breaking arrows to signify peace or from gathering materials
Slang/Informal Uses
Occasionally appears in urban slang (e.g., calling for urgent help in non-military situations) or niche contexts, but these are not widespread.
The nuclear accident definition is the most recognized in current military and public discourse, while the Vietnam-era tactical meaning is historical and often confused with it due to media portrayals.
A recent article in Compact about discrimination against whites has made a splash. @arctotherium42 has an excellent thread from my 1991 book, Paved With Good Intentions, about vicious anti-white policies from the 1970s and 1980s. I had forgotten I had written such good stuff. https://t.co/4KyND7HZVQ
The SBA's loans, including those to minority companies, have essentially gone unaudited. Inevitably, money has gone astray. When the Los Angeles Times did an informal survey of minority firms that the SBA listed as "current" 8(a) beneficiaries, it found the 22% could not be reached or had gone out of business. --Jared Taylor

I want to break the impression that Affirmative Action/DEI began in 2014 or is limited to school admissions and a handful of infamously left-wing fields. Here are some excerpts from chapter 4 of the 1992 book "Paved With Good Intentions." First, firefighting. --Arcotherium.
The FBI gives additional points on its hiring tests to nonwhites, and throws out the results if not enough nonwhites make it through anyways. State Department stopped considering foreign language skills because too few blacks spoke them and has a lower threshold for hiring them. --Arcotherium.

87% of soy production is crushed for oil. 6% goes to humans directly. 7% goes to animals as whole beans.
The leftover soy meal after oil extraction? That's the "cattle feed" in the statistics.
So when they say "cattle are eating rainforest soy," what they mean is:
Humans are demanding soybean oil for processed food and biodiesel, which creates soy meal waste, which gets fed to cattle because otherwise it's literally waste.
You're not saving the rainforest by avoiding beef. You're saving it by avoiding processed food made with soybean oil.
But that doesn't fit on a billboard.

His comment at 2:55 that wars are about debt is true, but the debt comes first. It builds up to an unsustainable point where the creditor nations can't repay, and so they need to destroy things to hide their debt and insolvency. Spending to build up for war is part of that drive to complete insolvency before they have to hock their property and holdings within a nation and elsewhere.
Make no mistake, they'll force conscript, and will never provide material or air or any other necessary supports to not only win but to survive at all. They'll also exempt non-native sons from these conscriptions. https://t.co/qUQXie33Pc
It’s Not Controversial - It’s
The Appeal To Heaven Flag:
“The pine tree represented defiance against the British, who had imposed restrictions on timber harvesting in New England.”
Remember it wasn't just Lee, the destroyers did the same to the statues of Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson, Nathan Bedford Forrest, and many others whose names are less well known.
What happened was that artist Kara Walker was commissioned to deconstruct the Southern heroes and men into grotesque abstractions. The statue of Thomas Stonewall Jackson looked like this in 1921.
It's called the Equestrian statue of Stonewall Jackson in Jacksonville, Virginia, 1921. It is an absolute gorgeous statue of one of America's great generals.
The first step in the process, she said, was ‘a really kind of gruesome beheading’ of the Jackson figure that she said left her unsettled. Though some people present applauded as the head came off, she said, ‘I actually felt like it was such a violent act that I was really uncomfortable with it.’ But she felt there was no alternative: ‘I knew that what I was going to do was going to involve not having the head in its right place.’
These Marxists are true monsters.
About Lost Cause, Levin says, "The artist has transformed the object's original intent, subverting its heroic “Lost Cause” narrative." Can you imagine? Rewriting a warrior's, a nation's, and sacrifices his men made as all wrong in their pursuit of the war? I'm sure that canard started before that last rifle was fired in 1865.

"Eating fat clogs your arteries!"
Fat doesn't flow through your bloodstream like engine oil through pipes.
Your arteries aren't drainage systems that get blocked by dietary fat.
Arterial plaque is caused by chronic inflammation and oxidative damage from seed oils, sugar, and insulin resistance.
The Inuit ate 80% fat for thousands of years and had zero cardiovascular disease until Western contact introduced flour and sugar.
The Maasai drink blood and milk (extremely high fat) and have the cleanest arteries ever documented in medical literature.
But sure, the steak you ate last night is somehow sitting in your artery like a traffic jam.
Meanwhile the "heart-healthy" canola oil is oxidising in your cell membranes and causing the actual inflammation that damages arterial walls.
Your body has been processing dietary fat for 2.5 million years without issue.

Nobody knows who “Barbara Rose Johns” is. Robert E. Lee was about a million times more historically significant. He was also a million times more honorable and courageous than all of the politicians applauding in this video. https://t.co/n2AauZDNhg
Black Lives Matter using the judiciary to fight their battles against against white. Glad to see they're not violent or belligerent.
Some references to Barbara Rose Johns. So they need to identify her or call her by her first, middle, and last name like all historical dignitaries. Got to elevate the unknown college student somehow, right? This woman is immeasurably irrelevant. I mean from 1861 to the 1990s, the US Civil War was the defining historical event that involved everyone had an opinion on, took sides, defending that position, citing both warrior heroes, key battles, and politicians. We even had jokes about the Civil War in the lare 60s, like "Remember Grant. Remember Lee. The hell with them, remember me." That was an actual line recorded in my 1969 junior high school yearbook by classmate, Mike Carpenter. In the 5th grade, U used to have terrific walking conversations on Civil War figures with classmate, Craig. It was one of the most honoring, comfortable fluid conversations I'd had ever since. In the 5th grade. The topic was exalting, and having an opinion on such a defining event in our nation's history exalted us young men. And we're replacing that important, relevant, grave discussion with a statue that tells the nation to genuflect, or whom they ought to genuflect to as part of a collective national humiliating "take a knee" moment? who commanded no attention and little respect, who commanded no army, who had no following, where even her enemies and heirs could not honor the way the Robert E. Lee has been honored. I mean it's laughable to think that erecting a statue of a black student somehow elevates the nation. But this is what the Yankee-Chinese axis loves to do--humiliate a nation's pride by ripping out monuments that symbolize its character and heart.
It's a week attempt at rewriting history perhaps the removal of these great men that made up our country will inspire students to read up biographies on Robert E. Lee his character and his actions in battle and in peace.
1747: Royal Navy surgeon James Lind conducts the first controlled clinical trial in history.
British sailors are dying of scurvy. Gums bleeding, teeth falling out, wounds not healing, death within weeks.
Lind tests 6 treatments on 12 sailors.
Two sailors get citrus fruits (lemons and oranges). They recover completely in 6 days. The other 10 continue deteriorating.
The cure is proven. Published. Documented in clinical detail.
Royal Navy response: Nothing. They ignore it for 40 years.
1795: Finally adopted. But they switch from lemons to limes (cheaper, less effective). Scurvy returns.
1875: Arctic expeditions are still dying of scurvy despite carrying lime juice. The juice is too diluted, improperly stored, vitamin C degraded.
Multiple expeditions fail. Men die horrible deaths. All preventable.
Meanwhile, fresh meat prevents scurvy perfectly. The Inuit never get scurvy eating seal and caribou. Arctic explorers who eat like the Inuit survive without any citrus.
But the Royal Navy doesn't mandate fresh meat. They mandate inadequate lime juice.
Why? Because fresh meat requires hunting, preserving, or keeping livestock. That's expensive and logistically complex.
Lime juice is cheap. Ships can store it easily. Even if it doesn't work.
The Navy chose convenient failure over effective solution.
By 1900, scurvy is still killing sailors and explorers despite the cure being known for 150 years.
The pattern: We find the cure. It's inconvenient or unprofitable. We implement a inferior substitute. People die. We blame the disease.
Modern parallel: We know removing carbohydrates reverses diabetes. Instead we prescribe insulin and metformin while telling people to "eat balanced meals with whole grains."
The convenient failure continues. The profitable failure continues.
350 years later, we're still choosing management over cure because cure doesn't generate revenue.
