Poznámka překladatele do angličtiny

Následující projev zazněl 17. května 2005 v Moskvě a jeho francouzský přepis vyšel na ruském webu Athenaeum.

Přinejmenším ze tří důvodů mám za to, že stojí za to šířit tento projev v nacionalistických kruzích: první důvod si postupně začíná uvědomovat stále více anglicky mluvících nacionalistů – Guillaume Faye je dnes asi nejzajímavějším, i když ne vždy nejpřípadnějším mluvčím za geneticko-kulturní dědictví související s bělošským odporem.

1. Introduction: Transcendental Idealism as Political Radicalism

Part I here

Earlier this week, I woke to devastating news: A longtime friend of mine, Robin, whom I had met while I was an undergrad — at the same time that I first began writing things that would eventually find their way to Counter-Currents — had passed away. My old friend’s son contacted me by phone and informed me that she had left us a few days before, and that he had wanted to let me know since she’d mentioned our friendship to him previously.

William Butler Yeats écrivit son plus célèbre poème, « La Seconde Venue », en 1919, à l’époque de la Grande Guerre et de la Révolution bolchevique, quand les choses étaient vraiment en train de « se disloquer », en premier lieu la civilisation européenne.
