Αγάπα την Βροχή, αγάπα την Ζωή

Dominique Venner

457 words

Μετάφραση Greg Johnson

Μετάφραση στα ελληνικά: Ρωμανός

Δεν ξεχνώ ούτε μια στιγμή τους αγώνες της εποχής μας. Δεν ξεχνώ ούτε μια στιγμή τις μάχες του παρελθόντος που μας έκαναν αυτό που είμασθε. Δεν ξεχνώ ούτε μια στιγμή ότι το να υπάρχεις δεν σημαίνει μόνον να αφιερώνεσαι και να αφοσιώνεσαι , αλλά επίσης, να μάχεσαι. Ούτε ξεχνώ ότι η ζωή έχει έντονες στιγμές και ήρεμες στιγμές, χαρές και στεναχώριες.

Jonathan Bowden

Josef Thorak’s portrait of Nietzsche

8,183 words

English original here

Jonathan Bowden (f. 12 April 1962, d. 29 Mars 2012) var en brittisk konstnär och nationalistisk politiker. Bowden tillhör utan tvekan en av den nutida politiska högerns absolut mest fängslande talare. För den som inte har lyssnat på något av Jonathan Bowdens tal rekommenderas starkt att lyssna, ta lärdom och låta sig inspireras utav den energi och koncentrerade mängd djupa politiska och filosofiska insikter som Jonathan förmedlar i sina tal.

A Breviary for the Unvanquished

Michael O'Meara

2,157 words

A propos of Dominique Venner
Un Samouraï d’Occident: Le Bréviaire des insoumis
Paris: PGDR, 2013

In his commentaries on the Gallic Wars, Julius Caesar claimed the ancient Celts were ruled by two principles: to fight well and to speak well. By this standard, the now famous essayist, historian, and former insurgent, Dominique Venner, who frequently identified with his Gallic ancestors, was the epitome of Caesar’s Celt—for with arms and eloquence, he fought a life-long war against the enemies of Europe.

German Cinema Classics
Der Herrscher (1937)

Derek Hawthorne

4,843 words

Der Herrscher (The Sovereign) is a fascinating film for a variety of reasons. The popular idea of cinema in the Third Reich is that is that every film was rife with propaganda. In fact, most films of the period were purely escapist fare, with minimal propaganda content. When propaganda was present, it often took the form of allegory (as in Kolberg), rather than speechifying or preaching. Read more …

Tristan & Isolde

Gabriele D'Annunzio

John William Waterhouse, “Tristan and Isolde Sharing the Potion,” 1916

4,526 words

From D’Annunzio’s novel Il trionfo della morte (The Triumph of Death, 1894)

Translated by V. M. Crawford

Giorgio Aurispa had not forgotten a single episode of his first religious pilgrimage towards the Ideal Theatre; he could recall every instant of his extraordinary emotion in that hour when he had first seen on the fair hillside, at the further extremity of a long leafy avenue, the building dedicated to the supreme festival of Art; he could reconstruct the amphitheater in its solemn vastness, girdled by columns and arches, the mystery of the Mystical Gulf.

German translation here

When I was younger and things were getting me down, I used to have spontaneous little epiphanies that would instantly lift me up. I would hear a song on the radio. I would look across a field when suddenly the sun emerged from behind the clouds. I would peer over someone’s fence and see a rose blooming. In these moments, I had an experience difficult to put into words. Read more …

In May 2013 Minneapolis-based General Mills, the multibillion-dollar food company, aired a television commercial for its Cheerios brand cereal promoting Aryan hybridization with blacks (depicting, as usual, a white woman and a black man).

The Counter-Currents 2013 Summer Fundraiser
Reasons for Optimism

Greg Johnson

George Frederick Watts, “Hope”

594 words

Since our last update, we have received fifteen new donations totaling $1,605. Our total so far is $14,376.50. Our goal is to raise $50,000 by October 31, so we are $35,623.50 away from our goal. That is a lot to raise, but we have the time. The conventional wisdom is that summer is the slowest season for White Nationalist activism and fundraising, although our web traffic has remained steady. The pace of giving will quicken once we pass Labor Day.

Purpose in Life

William Pierce

3,271 words

What the lack of any national purpose is doing to America as a nation is painfully evident to everyone willing to see. It may be less evident, however, what the lack of a meaningful purpose in life is doing to millions of the best men and women of our race as individuals. That is because most of these believe, mistakenly, that they do have purpose in their lives.

Elysium

Gregory Hood

No one will be allowed to escape. No one will get a separate peace. No one gets to have a good life. We’re going down, and we’re going down together – because in the wasteland of modernity, that’s what it is to be human.

Neill Blomkamp, late of District 9, returns to form in Elysium. Once again, the white South African (who lives in Canada, naturally) preaches the egalitarian gospel that has reduced his once proud homeland into just another failed state. Read more …

D. H. Lawrence argues that through the sex act, individuals participate in some kind of mysterious power running through nature. But does this momentary experience have any kind of long-term effect on them? Lawrence directly addresses this question. When the sex act is over, he writes, “The two individuals are separate again. But are they as they were before? Is the air the same after a thunderstorm as before? No. The air is as it were new, fresh, tingling with newness. Read more …
