It was one year ago today that French historian and European patriot Dominique Venner ended his life with a bullet on the altar of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. Venner wished to draw attention to the demographic decline of European man and to indicate what we must be prepared to give to save our people: everything. But his death will be in vain unless it is remembered. So take this day to remember Dominique Venner: his life, his work, and his sacrifice.

On this date, every self-respecting white person should devote time to meditate on Dominique Veneer’s sacrifice on the altar of Notre Dame. On May 21, 2013 (on the birthday of Albrecht Durer; on the 500th anniversary of Durer’s engraving Knight, Death and the Devil; on the 850th anniversary of the start of the building of Notre Dame; on the 40th anniversary of the publication of The Camp of the Saints) Dominique Veneer gave “myself over to Death to awaken slumbering consciences.”). So, whatever else you may do today, stop and reflect on the sacrifice of this man (I refuse to call it a suicide-it was a self-sacrifice-a sacred act). His action and his life demand attention and reflection and respect from each of us.
Greg, thank you for reminding us.
Thanks for this. Just to let you know Part 1,2, and 3 of For a Positive Critique would not load or I got page does not exist. I received part 4 and 5, but still could not access 1,2 or 3 from them.
The links work for me. I will look into this.
They (the links for a Positive Critique) don’t work for me either as the URL’s are incorrect due to the date being typed in twice. The links for parts 4 and 5 work here, however, part 4 doesn’t work from within the earlier articles in the series, for instance, on part 3 if you click the link for part 4 you get a “page does not exist” message.
However, here are the correct links:
part 1: https://counter-currents.com/2010/09/for-a-positive-critique-part-1/
part 2: https://counter-currents.com/2010/09/for-a-positive-critique-part-2/
part 3: https://counter-currents.com/2010/09/for-a-positive-critique-part-3/
part 4: https://counter-currents.com/2010/09/part-4/
part 5: https://counter-currents.com/2010/09/toward-a-positive-critique-part-5/
They should work now.
A point related to your article, “Propaganda & Organization:”
The poster of Venner is excellent agitprop: stark, noble, making a political point in the fewest possible words. Now if it could only be translated into English!
On this first anniversary of his death, and in response to R_Moreland’s request, I provide below a translation of M. Venner’s words that appear on this deeply moving poster:
“I give myself death in order to awaken the dulled consciences. I rebel against the crime dedicated to the replacement of our populations.”
Ecce Homo.
