On July 20th, 1969, man first stood on the moon; on December 18th, 1972, man stood on the moon for the last time. What happened to end the dream of space exploration? Paul Kersey answers this question through thirty-eight articles on the topic, originally posted to his SBPDL Blog at The Unz Review between 2010 and 2014. Kersey argues that the US government neutered NASA by forcing a much different mission upon the space agency: diversity, at the expense of the initial dream of exploring the stars.Whitey on the Moon tells the shocking story of NASA's demise from the racial angle, highlighting instances of race-based instead of merit-based promotion, protests of Apollo 11, and the destructive demands of Rev. Ralph Abernathy of the Poor People's Campaign, arguing that the money going to Apollo and space exploration be redistributed to America's inner cities. Kersey discusses how the attitude of the US government largely shifted from the pursuit of excellence to the funding of a welfare state. The final chapters of the book deal not with the exploration and colonization of new worlds, but the redistribution of wealth to pay for EBT/SNAP Food Stamps and other welfare payouts. Kersey laments that instead we could have been on Mars. Paul Kersey's eye-opening anthology, Whitey on the Moon: Race, Politics, and the Death of the US Space Program, 1958-1972, was originally published in 2016, has since fallen out of print, and is now being resurrected and preserved by Antelope Hill Publishing in a newly-edited and thoroughly cited edition.

Beauty is one of the most universal and timeless themes in art. Throughout history, artists have been fascinated by the human form, especially the female form, and have tried to capture its essence and express its meaning in various ways. Beauty is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also a matter of culture, values, emotions, and ideals. Beauty is subjective, relative, and dynamic. What is considered beautiful in one era, place, or society may not be in another. Beauty is also influenced by the personal preferences, experiences, and tastes of the artists and the viewers. In this book, I present a selection of my paintings that explore the concept of beauty in different historical periods and artistic movements. I have been a working professional painter all of my adult life, and I have always been interested in the history of art and the evolution of female beauty in art. I have studied the works of the masters and learned from their techniques, styles, and visions. I have also developed my own style of painting that combines realism, impressionism, and fantasy. I use realistic details, impressionistic colors, and fantastical elements to create my own interpretations of beauty. My paintings are not meant to be exact copies or reproductions of the original artworks, but rather my personal homage and tribute to them. I do not intend to imitate or compete with the masters, but to express my admiration and appreciation for their art. I also do not intend to make any definitive statements or judgments about beauty, but to invite the viewers to explore and enjoy the diversity and richness of beauty in art. I hope that this book will inspire you to discover and appreciate the beauty of art and the beauty of women in all their forms and expressions. I hope that this book will also inspire you to create your own beauty and share it with the world.
