Remembering the Bond Research Institute & 4th Reich Disqus Channels

 Hello all, I'm doing a little bit of restructuring with my name, channel, etc., so currently you can consider this blog as being in maintenance mode. Don't worry the URL will not change.

I've been meaning of posting this here sometime and for lack of a better post, I suppose I can make this one remembering the Bond Research Institute which was a disqus channel while they were still around. 

I found it by accident after searching for John Engelman since he hadn't been over at AmRen for a while, it was funny because that led to me finding the channel and a whole lot of online drama. I thought at first that the channel was an anti-Semitic one since it had so many such posts, however, it turned out that the guy who ran it going by Lawrence Bond was actually an "anti-racist" who apparently was devoted to free speech or some such, or so it seemed. 

Engelman was still the same Engelman. Lawrence Bond tried to come across as an agnostic poster when it came to race, however throughout time it became apparent that he was a so-called anti-racist and equates all racism with Nazism. Much of the channel was devoted to spreading of conspiracy theories, which I won't mention, and other users debunking them. Much of the content was basically anti-Semitic in nature and had to do with Nazism. 

On the other hand, some of the posts were historical in nature, some had to do with literature, and the ones I posted had to do with race, evolution, intelligence and crime. Sometimes I would veer off into topics of psychology, and human anthropology as well. The arguments were very bitter, and usually it was just a bunch of flaming back and forth. 

Everything was there trolling, shitposting, flaming and all of the drama. The channel actually got a lot of traffic but became mostly well known as a place where people flame each other over either race based stuff, or anti-Semitic material. 

Eventually Lawrence Bond couldn't take the amount of time and effort that it took to run a channel like that and the amount of fighting from both sides and deleted his account leaving the channel without an owner, but two mods Engelman and Mike. 

I'm not going to bring up all of the drama again, but soon afterwards the channel took a dive, and I decided to start this blog to try to get away from the conspiracy theories and the constant flaming, and focus more on race, anthropology, travel, psychology, philosophy of life, etc.  

A new channel also sprung up called The 4th Reich, it was basically a racialist, and anti-Semitic, that had a lot of free speech, and was run by Toller, and sonofseawolf. It eventually started to be popular and I became a mod there, until Toller gave me the axe because I started to acquire power, and did my usual fighting with other users that attacked me, also I wanted to ban some of the more egregious posters. That channel was bound to go get nuked though, it literally had the worst of the worst, and was largely flaming, and personal attacks, along with violent content. It was also funny with lots of shitposting, but unsurprisingly it got nuked and soon after the whole channel system got nuked. 

Disqus complained about people abusing the system, and trolling, well...I think there were two issues. One of them is that people are tribal, and do tend to fight each other and that includes flaming, threatening, and so forth, it's part of human nature. Two, people who use social media like disqus may be a little more prone to that type of posting. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Anyway, although it was a lot of stress and focus on online stuff, away from the real world I still did enjoy it, I sure learned a lot, and I think it shaped me a bit as well. Some of those discussions were really deep. So let's do a quick remembrance of some of the more flamboyant posters on BRI that made it what it was:

Lawrence Bond: A supposed agnostic on race, that argued with anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists about WWII, and ran a popular disqus channel. He studied the history of WWII quite a bit. In truth he was an anti-racist, and thought anything having to do with racial science or eugenics was pseudoscience and hate, although he did let me post what I wanted on his channel, and spent a lot of time with the posters there. Apparently, he enjoyed dating Black women. He kind of flipped out here on this blog leading to his temporary banning, then he decided not to use disqus anymore. Aside from when he started to get mad or frustrated and start trolling, he was generally polite, conversational, and often fun to talk to.

John Engelman: AmRen regular, a self-avowed race realist, who got himself banned at AmRen for saying he thought Ethiopian women were attractive. He's been posting very similar comments for over a decade now. I supported him at times, at others got into bitter fights with him, over the course of time though it seems that he changed some of his positions and learned from others including myself. I liked some of the information he posted, he read several works I hadn't heard of before. He used to be a mod here, and posted articles before, but now that his AmRen account has been reinstated he's back there again. Engelman has been flamed extensively for his support and admiration of East Asians, and Jews. He was a computer programmer for years and discovered race realism after being attacked by Blacks a number of times, and reading the Color of Crime.

Sonofseawolf: Used to run a channel called the sagegrousecommunity, until it was nuked, then ran 4th Reich channel with Toller. Also ran the outlaw News Views channel. He was about to quit disqus but some people wanted him to stay and now he's a mod here on this blog. I think mr.sonofseawolf supports White Nationalism with his "free matt hale" stuff, let's not forget the green nazi army; but he was usually pretty friendly with most of the people that posted on the channels, and was pretty open to people posting opposing views. I wonder if he'll ever post content again though?

Goblin: A very anti-semitic poster who loved to shitpost about neo-nazi material and troll others. John Engelman really didn't like him. He constantly posted on BRI, usually material from the daily stormer. He was an Orthodox Christian however, and apparently is now a retired prison guard. He started trolling me when I became a 4R mod. Haven't seem him on disqus now. 

Toller: Ran the 4th Reich channel with sonofseawolf, really didn't like Jews for some reason, but supported freedom of speech. Lives somewhere away from the big cities in a quieter place, which is a good thing if you ask me. Liked to make accounts and troll people. Worked over 55 hours a week according to his disqus description. Been here a few times on my blog. 

Thottie: aka Maid Meena, she was from the UK and apparently of mixed race, posted a bunch of different stuff on BRI and she liked posting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories also. Haven't seen her in a while.

Stan: This guy was a Slavic guy who liked to post jokes, trolling, and a lot of sexual material. He was a popular user who ran a bizarre channel. He married an East Asian wife apparently. Was a carpenter or something? Pretty entertaining. Have not seen him in the longest time.

Wild Bill, Sr.: A man who enjoyed reading about racial science, he veered into the more White Nationalist territory, and we disagreed on a number of things, got into it a few times but I think we managed to stay on pretty good terms, eventually. He's adamant about his carnivorous diet apparently. He got a whole bunch of undergrad degrees as he became older. Quite a senior but had good health last time I heard from him. His son posts here sometimes. 

Augur Mayson:

A popular poster who used to post on AmRen and the disqus channels who frequently posted anti-Semitic, and conspiracy theory related material. If I recall correctly he was able to be polite when need be and didn't resort to unending flaming. He was pretty entertaining. It was funny when he came on 4R and accused Toller of a bunch of stuff. 

Fl Cracker aka KEK: 

Another racialist poster, who veered into the anti-Semitic territory, but tended to be good humoured a lot of the time. I believe he was into commercial fishing. Apparently, he liked to troll people with some of his accounts. 

Squeakywheel3: A Jewish poster who fought the anti-Semites on the BRI site and other sites as well, and stood up for Israel. He frequently had intelligent posts but I disagreed with him on a number of issues and we had some serious arguments. He seems to have quit using disqus. 

Jake321: A Jewish poster who stated that he had advanced professional degrees in either a financial or engineering related field. Apparently had a high measured IQ, and had relatives who died in the Holocaust, and hated Nazis with a passion. He was pretty grouchy a lot of the time, and we had some serious fighting in the beginning with lots of flaming. He's against racial prejudice, but doesn't seem to believe we are all equal. Politically on the left. Aside from fighting with neo-Nazis, he liked to flame Engelman as well. Had some interesting conversations with him though. He seems to have quit using disqus now however.

Jewish Jeff: A somewhat bizarre poster who claimed to have graduated from Harvard and retired. He used a gay pornstar as his avatar and claimed to be him. Stan found the videos, and posted one where he was having sex with a pumpkin. He would fight with the Nazis on disqus, but also fight with lots of different posters. he really flamed Lawrence Bond for letting the Nazis flame Jeff. 

Vampire Jesus: A self-described sociopath, he was the author of the book Dark Resurrection about a vampire Jesus. I don't recall why he described himself as a sociopath, maybe because he had so many bad experiences with people and life, like I did? Hmmm...maybe that's why he reminds me of myself just a bit...XD. He runs a blog over at:

https://jesusthevampire.blogspot.com/

Tends be into cynicism, and likes being direct and to the point. Also loves old cinema. Oh yeah, and he comes here from time to time. 

Brazos: Wasn't on those two channels all that much but posted on the disqus channels quite a bit. A manly man who's old fashioned. and doesn't buy into this whole "woke" culture crap. He was a brick and stone mason for many years before retirement and knows what it's like living with Blacks. He says he had a fiery temper when he was younger but seems pretty polite now. He likes to point out the follies of the anti-white narrative, and leftism to the younger crowd. He likes rockabilly like I do. Has a fully paid ranch out in Texas, he even pops in here from time to time.  I like his posts.

Joseph Martin: A race realist poster, who veers into the White Nat direction, but is very friendly and polite. He was a mod on the BRI before. He usually makes informative posts, and he pops in here from time to time. 

Mike: A Jewish poster who is an IT guy and very left leaning, and I think libertarian. He was a mod on BRI. He disagreed with me on many things but was usually friendly, and polite, and liked to make jokes. Doesn't seem to use disqus all that much now.

Alicia: A lady who lives in the UK with Spanish roots. She's not a prolific poster but usually had something interesting to say. And maybe she's a little less crazy than the rest of us :) It's nice whenever she pops in here from time to time. 

Dalilemur: A race realist on the more moderate side who had a picture of a Viking warship as his avatar, and wasn't a fan of Paul Krugman.

Am I forgetting anyone? Tons and tons of people, and there were lots also who were really toxic, tinfoil hat, and just assholes really. But I guess they all made up the disqus channel ecosystem.

Since the channel system got nuked a lot of people started their own sites, and blogs for their favourite communities, but the whole system has drifted apart more. Well anyway, I could go on forever, just reminiscing a bit. Sorry if the descriptions that I wrote aren't what people wanted, I just posted them on the fly...if you read this far you probably realize how much longer this post can go on if I don't stop right here.
