El suicidio de Dominique Venner el 21 de Mayo: Marine Le Pen se inclinó ante este gesto para despertar la conciencia, lo que puede parecer sorprendente, pero el honor es suyo. Una representante del grupo de payasas feministas Femen, trató de manchar su recuerdo al día siguiente, parodiando —en topless— su suicidio en el coro de Notre Dame. En su pecho magro estaba pintado: “Que el Fascismo descanse en el Infierno”. (more…)

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.

Sebevražda Dominique Vennera dne 21. května v katedrále Notre Dame. Marine Le Pen se tomuto gestu procitnutí vědomí poklonila – což se může zdát překvapivé, nicméně jí to slouží ke cti. Již následující den se pokusily pošpinit jeho památku polonahé členky sdružení Femen, což je skupina feministických štěnic. Na jejich plochých hrudích stálo “Ať fašismus shoří v pekle.” Je to již podruhé, kdy tyto nahé poběhlice beztrestně řádily v katedrále, a to i přes bezpečnostní kontrolu u vchodu. (more…)

Η αυτοκτονία του Dominique Venner στις 21 Μαϊου στην Notre Dame: Η Marine Le Pen υποκλίθηκε σε αυτή την χειρονομίας της αναδυόμενης συνειδητότητας, κάτι που μπορεί να μας εξέπληξε αλλά είναι προς τιμήν της. Μία γυμνόστηθη εκπρόσωπος της Femen, μίας ομάδας φεμινιστριών μπούφων, προσπάθησε ναβεβηλώσει την μνήμη του την επόμενη ημέρα, μιμούμενη την αυτοκτονία του στην χορωδία της Notre Dame. (more…)

Οι λόγοι για να ζει κανείς και οι λόγοι για να πεθάνει, είναι συχνά οι ίδιοι. Αυτή ήταν σίγουρα η περίπτωση για τον Dominique Venner, του οποίου η χειρονομία σκόπευε στο να φέρει την ζωή και τον θάνατό του σε απόλυτη αρμονία. Είπε ότι επέλεξε να πεθάνει κατά τον τρόπο που ήταν ο πιο έντιμος στις συγκεκριμένες συνθήκες, ειδικά όταν οι λέξεις είναι πια αδύνατον να περιγράψουν, να εκφράσουν το τι νοιώθουμε.

The reasons for living and the reasons for dying are often the same. This was definitely the case for Dominique Venner, whose gesture aimed at bringing his life and death into deep accord. He said he chose to die in the way that was the most honorable in certain circumstances, particularly when words become powerless to describe, to express what we feel. (more…)

Dominique Venner’s suicide on May 21 at Notre Dame: Marine Le Pen bowed to this gesture of awakening consciousness, which may seem surprising, but it is to her credit. A topless representative of Femen, a group of feminist buffoons, tried to smear his memory the next day, mimicking his suicide in the choir of Notre Dame. (more…)

Dominique Venner is too big for me to judge. Thus I am not going to criticize or second-guess his decision to end his life with a bullet at the altar of the Cathedral of Notre Dame on May 21, 2013.

Ernst Jünger: Un autre destin européen
Paris: Éds. du Rocher, 2009
In Dominique Venner’s historical essay, Ernst Jünger: Un autre destin européen, the subject is presented as une figure ultime, a European archetype provisionally absent from Europe today, but nevertheless one rooted in the depths of the European spirit — and destined, thus, to re-appear should Europeans ever re-awake to re-assert themselves in the world.
