Boy sleuths, burglars and...bagpipes! Fifteen-year-old bagpiper Mac is delightfully out of step with his peers in more ways than one. Mac is a student at the serene, if somewhat decrepit campus of St. Rupert’s Academy for Boys. With the aid of his hilarious and somewhat odd-ball friends, he soon finds himself tracking down an elusive artwork and being chased by a crazed art dealer.“You, MacDonough! You know who I’m talking to. Come on over.” Not a bad greeting for his first day at a new school. Being greeted by a gaggle of friendly bagpipers certainly makes fifteen-year-old Mac feel welcome right off the bat. Little does he suspect that trouble is lurking just around the corner at St. Rupert's Academy for Boys. Something is going horribly wrong in the life of the band's beloved pipe major. Ms. Kent's problem goes by the name of Harley Bevison and she thought she'd gotten rid of him a long time ago. It seems he's come back to haunt her with constant demands to get him an invitation to visit the academy's famous private museum. Ms. Kent suspects Harley Bevison has greedy designs on something in the museum. She is afraid her job will be in peril if some board member thinks she has been helping Mr. Bevison with his dubious scheming. Her loyal students step right in to make sure she gets the help she needs. She sends them off on a research mission, but Mac is soon is lured by Brookie, his uber-hyper new friend, into a more hands-on approach to discovering just what that mysterious work of art is and where it is hidden. Prakash and Ian and the rest of the band are dragged into a tangle of events that lead to sleepless nights spent rappelling down the sides of buildings and endless days trying to create something to decoy Harley Bevison away from the valuable museum piece. The boys of St. Rupert’s Pipe Band manage to turn Ms. Kent’s thorny situation into victory as they rush to substitute a fake for the original masterpiece. Imagine their surprise when they find out the headmaster, Fr. Dell, has been moving in a parallel direction with the same goal in sight: to deal with Harley Bevison. As glad as Ms. Kent is to get Harley Bevison out of her hair, she is thrilled that they are all safe and able to get back to their studying. Most importantly, Mac and the boys forge true friendships and prove themselves deeply loyal to both their school and their teacher. Views: 308

Dissident Dispatches is about Christian theology. It also gives voice to the ethno-patriotic concerns now fuelling the growth of the secular Alt-Right movement. Both reject the ongoing spiritual degeneration and concomitant demographic displacement of every white European ethno-nation.The author, Andrew Fraser, has studied and taught history and law at leading universities in Canada, the United States, and Australia. He was born a British subject when people of British stock still counted as one of Canada’s two “founding races”. Indeed, at that time, there was no such thing as a “Canadian citizen”.A “late loyalist” in his own personal development, Fraser deplores the ethno-masochistic eagerness with which far-too-many other WASPs still spit upon the graves of their ancestors.He recognizes, however, that it is not enough to mourn the loss of once-secure and legitimate ethno-religious identities. Nor will politics alone save us. Dissident Dispatches outlines the fundamental elements of the Christian ethno-theology sorely needed by the Alt-Right if it is to halt, much less reverse, the rising tide of colour.Dissident Dispatches identifies the main currents in modern Christian theology responsible for the moral and spiritual collapse of both the Anglican Church and Christendom more generally.Given the rusted-on secularism of the Alt-Right, the book offers a critical comparative analysis of the major alternatives to a Christian ethno-theology; namely, the political theology of popular sovereignty and the cornucopian civil religion of perpetual progress. Across a wide range of issues in systematic and practical theology, in bible studies and church history, the essays collected here provide the basic ingredients for the counter-revolutionary theology of Christian nationhood needed in contemporary debates with Christian universalists and disingenuous white liberals.The book counters the Christophobia endemic among neo-pagan white nationalists with an intellectually respectable Christian apologetic as well as a biblical hermeneutic informed by both “kinism” (aka covenantal creationism) and “preterism” (aka covenant eschatology).But Dissident Dispatches is more than a theological treatise. It is also a personal memoir. The author, Andrew Fraser, is a racially aware, former law professor who became a theology student at a divinity school in suburban Sydney, Australia. He discovered there a multiracial college community of professedly Christian teachers and students promoting the postmodern cult of the “Other”. There, to be Christian is to celebrate the fact that Australia, Canada, the United States, even England, are no longer “Anglo-Saxon countries”.Following in the author’s footsteps from one class to another, the book provides insight into the academic and personal problems likely to face pro-white students engaging in politically-incorrect speech or behaviour in a divinity school anywhere in the white, English-speaking world.The author has considerable personal experience on the receiving end of politically correct thought policing. Early on, Dissident Dispatches explores the background to the one-year suspension meted out to the author for “offending” faculty members and/or female and ethnic students by the allegedly racist, sexist, and anti-Semitic remarks made by him in classes and seminars.Dissident Dispatches is the unplanned product of the culture shock experienced on all sides when an Alt-Right senior citizen cum cultural warrior decides to rattle his politically-correct bars by going to a theological college run by a church often confused with the Communist Party at prayer.
