Tag: Savitri Devi

873 words

Savitri Devi was a philosopher, a religious thinker, and a tireless polemicist and activist for the causes of animal rights, European pagan revivalism, Hindu nationalism, German National Socialism, and — after the Second World War — pan-European racial nationalism. She also sought to found a religion, Esoteric Hitlerism, fusing National Socialism with the Traditionalism of René Guénon and Julius Evola. All told, she was one of the most extraordinary personalities of the 20th century. (more…)

Clarissa Schnabel has been writing for Counter-Currents for over a year now on a wide range of subjects. I enjoy reading her articles and find them refreshing. In our interview we discussed topics such as German guilt; the New Right; her favorite writer, Savitri Devi; Architektur-Rebellion; activism; the New German Wave in film; nationalist literary fiction; spiritual experiences; prophecy; and many others.

Ondrej Mann: Could you introduce yourself?

Clarissa Schnabel: I’m originally from a small town called Uslar in the beautiful Solling region of Lower Saxony. (more…)

“Germans commit crimes, too.”
“That’s my point. We have enough idiots of our own, we don’t need to import more.”
“I disagree.”
— An actual conversation between the author and one of her liberal friends

In all my years of biographical research, this might be the strangest case I’ve ever come across — next to the case of Mac Wenner, the guy who fell or jumped out of the bathroom window of a plane without anyone noticing it. (more…)

If you have visions, go see a doctor! — Helmut Schmidt

First comes prosperity like never before.
Then follows an apostasy like never before.
Then comes an unprecedented corruption of morals.
Then a great number of foreigners come into the country.
There is high inflation. (more…)

It’s 2016-2020 all over again, it would seem. Those were the years when the German mainstream media did not go one day without publishing at least one headline telling us how dumb, dangerous, and insane Donald Trump was. (more…)

The showdown between Texas and the federal government over border security highlights another equally nebulous border: the border between federal and state power. While the latest ruling on the matter was not a final decision, the invasion will not stop in the meantime due to legal niceties. (more…)

Edmond Réveil, the former French Resistance fighter who came forward with the story of the Meymac massacre.

2,014 words

The Volksbund, the German war graves commission, went public in June about their upcoming Meymac project, and unlike most of their other projects, this one actually made international headlines. Even the New York Times ran an article entitled “The secret of Meymac, a village in search of the bodies of German soldiers executed in 1944.”

I don’t know if “executed” is the right word. To me it suggests some semblance of legality — of a trial in a judicial system. But maybe that’s just semantics. The fact is that those 47 German soldiers and one French woman were murdered by the Maquis, in what any handbook on the subject would clearly define as a war crime. (more…)

Part 5 of 5 (Part 1 here, Part 4 here)

It must have been in the spring of 1962 that I received a message one afternoon asking me to call at nearby Bow Street Police Station. (“What has she done now?” I thought.) It was a telephone call (I had no telephone in London) from the Immigration Department at Newhaven; they had my friend Maximiani Portas there; she had only £9 in money and had come from India with very odd luggage, and they were not disposed to allow her in.

Part 4 of 5 (Part 1 here, Part 3 here, Part 5 here)

The two rooms on the other side of my landing had stayed empty since I came; sometimes I thought of taking them also, but the 15/- rent deterred me. Now, suddenly [in 1945 or, more likely, 1946], I had a new neighbour; the vanguard of Savitri Devi Mukherji, Veronica Vassar.

When I opened my door to her knock the interior voice — which has spoken to me often — said, “You are going to be very nice — or very nasty.” She was austerely passable in looks, and her clothes were unremarkable. (more…)

I decided to return to London and chance the bombs; things were quiet enough. An agent in Bow Street handed me the keys of two rooms in Drury Lane.

180 Drury Lane is still there; its six two-room gas-lit tenements are now three expensive flats, but the old shoe-repairer shop, S. Krantz and Son, Est. 1904 is still on the ground floor. (more…)

I went to Maidenhead; it was probably safe, not far from London, and Ivor Novello lived there.

Since autumn 1937, when he opened in London with his third Drury Lane musical Crest of the Wave,  I had seen him at least once a week from the (2/-) gallery and waited for him at the stage door every evening I could. I was not alone, but lived conveniently near, in New Row off St. Martin’s Lane, so it was easy. I was established as a fan by now and he knew my name. He was most kind and considerate to his fans and really seemed to like us. (more…)
