"Composure, here characterized as well-formed spiritual attitude, glowing inwardly with passion, but outwardly hard as hammered steel, gloriously concealing the measureless, seems necessary to me. When I look at my state, that symbol of infinity and all that is finite, but to me an especially visible symbol for others, which I always carry in my heart, as the saints carry the name of Christ, then it appears completely strong and great and perfectly formed, yet teeming within with a multitude of movements and the colorful play of forces." Baron Evola

"The most fearful consequence of the despotic government to which the South is now subjected, is not the plundering of our goods, nor the abridgment of privileges, nor the death of innocent men, but the degrading and debauching of the moral…sensibilities and principles of the helpless victims. The weapon of arbitrary rulers is physical force; the shield of its victims is usually evasion and duplicity. Again: few minds and consciences have that stable independence which remains erect and undebauched amidst the disappointments, anguish, and losses of defeat, and the desertion of numbers, and the obloquy of a lost cause. Hence it has usually been found, in the history of subjugated nations, that they receive at the hands of their conquerors this crowning woe—a depraved, cringing, and cowardly spirit.

The wisest, kindest, most patriotic thing which any man can do for his country, amidst such calamities, is to aid in preserving and reinstating the tottering principles of his countrymen; to teach them, while they give place to inexorable force, to abate nothing of righteous convictions and of self-respect. And in this work he is as really a benefactor of the conquerors as of the conquered. For thus he aids in preserving that precious seed of men, who are men of principle, and not of expediency; who alone (if any can) are able to reconstruct society, after the tumult of faction shall have spent its rage, upon the foundations of truth and justice.

The men at the North who have stood firmly aloof from the errors and crimes of this revolution, and the men at the South who have not been unmanned and debauched by defeat—these are the men whom Providence will call forth from their seclusion, when the fury of fanaticism shall have done its worst, to repair its mischiefs, and save America from chronic anarchy and barbarism; if, indeed, any rescue is designed for us."

Blow the Horn of Roland

"The first Europeans got it right: Christ the Hero, Christ our Brother, not Christ the endpoint of evolution or the founder of a philosophy, is the source of the spiritual force that enables a man to hurl his defiant ‘no’ at Satan and all the forces of hell. The Christ story was accepted and believed by the Europeans because they had not completely forgotten the source of their being. The twilight of the gods was not the end of the gods:

Deep in the wood two of human kind were left; the fire of Surtur did not touch them; they slept, and when they wakened the world was green and beautiful again. These two fed on the dews of the morning; a woman and a man they were, Lif and Lifthrasir. They walked abroad in the world, and from them and from their children came the men and women who spread themselves over the earth.

The neo-pagans are a disgrace to the world ‘pagan.’ Our pagan ancestors bent their knees to Christ because they recognized Him; He was the God above the Gods who would fight for and with them against Satan. They had hearts to love, and then when they heard of the coming of the Christ, they had a God worthy to love. From that love came the European people.

Tricks and gimmicks from the halfway-house Christians will not restore the civilization that has been burned to ashes. Only the love, which passeth all understanding, that Christ has for His people can rekindle a fire in a civilization that has turned to ashes. The Great Heart is waiting to set our hearts on fire. The European hero of old, who we are all called to be, was not afraid to approach the living God, because he knew with the unerring instinct of love that he would not be consumed by the divine fire; he would become a man strengthened and nurtured by divine charity..."

Where to Go From Here?

And this from "somewhere else"....

O God of Kirk and Clan
provide now in our want
Holy Worship in this land
And children for your font
Our sacraments are ashes
Our families are torn
And Christendom now crashes
In the justice of thy scorn

From all that ‘clever’ teaches,
From all the ‘truth’ so close,
Wrapped all in shallow speeches
That excite the shallow hosts,
From trust in the Molech god,
of circus, bread and sword,
who rules us with an iron rod,
Deliver us, Oh Lord

Breathe a Reformation
On Kirk, and King, and Clan
Awaken now a nation
One weapon in your hand
A single sword, all for thee
Your purpose as our end
Aglow with zeal, and free,
Your Kingdom to extend."

As a thought meditation, imagine that the "traditional world" that the Evangelicals are in the process of rapidly rejecting or "transcending" (Love, not doubt, is divine...), was really what it purported to be. Imagine a world in which the State is not hostile to religion, but is rather an extension of it. Imagine a world in which your kids can play in the neighborhood, or where you can venture down your street after dark. Imagine an economy in which Christianity (rather than money) is the lifeblood, and where virtue is rewarded, rather than punished. Imagine a world in which family, church & local community are the focal points, rather than something we need to "get away from".

Now, ask yourself, why can't we have this world? Is it written in the stars that magisterial Protestantism, ethical States, and peaceful ethnicities are doomed in the face of a gigantic global quant-State which promises a utopia with no pain, and delivers more & more of the exact opposite, all the while touting that more of the same will prove the cure? Is Christ's kingdom really only "spiritual"? Ask any "conservative" today, and you will find that they are either indifferent (they are economically conservative) or else they believe that a continued slow-martyrdom for Protestant polities and peoples (read, Anglos) is the price we must pay to experience the "sweetness" of Christ spiritually.

It is one thing to believe that we can all live in the 1950s and pretend that that is "real Christianity". It is quite another to believe that Christ's kingdom is so invisible and spiritual that we will need electron microscopes to see it in the near future. And it is still another (and the contention of a growing body of Christians) to believe that nature and super-nature are meant to operate in tandem, that in fact Christ does have a visible kingdom. This visible kingdom is not the kingdom-Babel-kaleidoscope shown by Satan to Christ in the desert, but is rather the kingdom of antique Europe, the kingdom where a cathedral is a beautiful, sacred place, where neighborhoods are safe & friendly, and where those who believe in culturated Christianity (incarnated Christ) can find sanctuary.

Man, without this, and specifically and more so European man, is utterly homeless. Our bodies are temples, and so are the bodies of our kith and kin (who are often both physical and spiritual parents). In this world, unless we are hermits (which is what the Evangelicals are calling us to be - rootless, wandering, secularized hermits), there is no other home than our own bodies and the bodies of our family, and the habitations which we make and sanctify.

If we wish to end psychological alienation, rootlessness & mental instability (not to mention spiritual problems, which build on these), we will hasten to rebuild (not Christian ghettoes) but Christian polities and nations and clans which will provide a "shelter" from the cold winds blowing over the modern world. The fear which is palpable now, hovering like a death shroud over the planet, will not be dispelled until we reclaim the haunts and firesides and hearths of our ancient homelands, which lives still in the law of the deeds of the dead.

Until Europe breaths again, in the resurrection...
We live still in the law by which we were born....
And so do those ancient hosts, which surround us.

Hatred for Europe

What is it about Europe (or Europeans) that excites such hatred?

Here is Anthony Bradley, a Reformed, African-American theologian (associated with King's College):

"Reformed Christianity remains as safe haven for racists because few Reformed Christians have the fortitude to challenge racism in their churches and denominations it seems. If you are Reformed and racist you can just about guarantee that most Calvinist churches in America won't even address the issue so you get off pretty easy. Oh well....."

"Racism" by the way is a term coined by Trotsky.

When poster Ryan tells him to relax, that these Kinist bloggers aren't representative, Bradley goes postal and verbally assaults his would-be comforter:

"Ryan, I'm completely ignoring your comments because you obviously must be new. This has been going on "repeatedly and consistently" for 6 years (including harassing phone calls to my employers attempting to get me fired and calls to one of my schools, while I was a student, attempting to get me kicked out of grad school). You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and your ignorance of this 6 year context renders your comments vapor..."

I'm sure Christ would have replied in the same manner, and I'm also sure that Ryan now understands that one must not only prove one's anti-racism, but prove it in a worthy manner.

This man is being feted (not "fetid") by Joel Belz and other big name Reformed priests. One of the posters I even went to school with! I need to call him...If you can stand to read the entire white-hating, racist, pity-fest for Anthony Bradley (if things are this bad, why stay?), help yourself. The impression I get is that blacks (and other non-Anglos of color) desperately want to belong, but to keep their color too. The only way that this can happen (obviously) is race-mixing. It never seems to occur to them that the price of this might be anything more than removing the splinter from their brother's eye, that white people are giving up anything but "racism". It is not that what they say has no merit at all (Satan has some good points at times too, however, so I am not sure where this gets them). It is that it is centered upon themselves, and in an utterly mundane way that they exalt to the heavens. They have no transcendent cultural identity, and they wish us to have none as well. That is the price (for us) of slavery (with which we had nothing to do). I think this has more to do with indiscriminate racial mixing in a late-capitalist, secular Empire. The answer to the problem is not more of the same. People need a chance to regroup. But Progress calls us forward! Racism is the last enemy to be conquered!

This from the Orthodox:

"Our hopes were soon to be dashed on the hard rocks of European cultural parochialism. In response to my presidential remarks, a friend of mine, a Norwegian Lutheran bishop, asked me, ‘in what sense does the Chairman find the revelation in Jesus Christ so insufficient that he has to go the non-Christians to learn the truth?”

I was offended, but being in the chair, could not retort in my usual rude manner. so I responded, ‘In this sense that the Chairman is not as fortunate as his friend the bishop from Norway, who seems to have so mastered the revelation in Jesus Christ, that he is so totally self-satisfied and does not feel any need to learn from others.’ I doubt that the barb got through. But my non-Christian friends saw for themselves the shameful narrow mindedness of European Christianity. They were hurt. But kept their cool and continued to be polite."

Hatred of Europe is reaching it's peak. There is no doubt that Europe had many faults. Most of the criticism leveled against "her" is true. There is one truth, however, that those who speak against her would have you not notice, and that is this: that their attacks against Europe usually depend upon Europe's forbearance, patience, & grace for their hearing. That is, no one asks why the Hindus burned their women on funeral pyres before the English came, or why Muslim nations routinely slaughter minority religious elements on their borders, or why Orthodox Greece needs Protestant Germany to bail it out of bankruptcy. No, there are no questions for those in the accuser's box. Rather, the only question is aimed, rhetorically, at those in Europe who still stand for cultural & ethnic norms. Are traditional European churches welcome in Greece or Russia? No. Are white people recruited to fill up immigration quotas in India? No. What matters is that white people cannot have any prejudice. This is the only "burning issue" of the time. They must not be allowed to allow themselves the same luxury which they must allow to everyone else. And these questions are put to them in a whining, passive-aggressive manner, exemplified everywhere but paragonized in America. I can assure the Third World that the bankers and white elite that are ruining their countries are not the ones who wish to keep their own color and culture. And vice versa. Those who stand for older Anglo ways are not the ones who are raping the newest failed economies or states of the global fiefdom. The "We" in America are reduced to Second World status, on our way down to Third. The plains folk of America are not the ones who wish global empire, nor do they benefit from it, but they are the ones who serve on the front lines in the midst of violence.

Give me the Gottingen Goose Girl, and I'll take my chances from there. And to Hades with the New World Order, and anything that goes with it. Millinerd links a PD James quote:

"In A Taste for Death, the novelist P.D. James placed the following words on the lips of a secular woman trying to make sense of religion. To do so, the character reaches back to her college years:

Annecroft Comprehensive certainly had a religion all right, fashionable and, in a school with twenty different nationalities, expedient. It was anti-racism. You soon learned you could get a way with any amount of insubordination, indolence or stupidity if you were sound on this essential doctrine. It struck her that it was like any other religion: it meant what you wanted it to mean; it was easy to learn, a few platitudes, myths and slogans; it was intolerant, it gave you the excuse for occasional selective aggression, and you could make a moral virtue out of despising the people you disliked. Best of all, it cost nothing... If you had to have a school ethos to give the illusion of togetherness, then for her money anti-racism was as good as any. And whatever she might think about its more absurd manifestations, it wasn't likely to lead you to see visions in a dusty church."


Thanks to Trotsky, and modern Gnostics who believe that spirit to be spirit must unchain itself from flesh (except for exotic southern dancing), now you too can get a taste of what the new world religion will offer, and how it will mask its call for absolute genetic equality with a self-righteous slinging of its own mud in the term "racist". Maybe Bradley can write his next book defining for us exactly what racism is.

People of Faith, Eternal Europe, and the Sacred Sacrifice

There is a lovely legend about Job. In it, Job is a mighty paladin, dispensing justice and maintaining order and equity for the entire region. He discovers that Satan has inspired wicked men to build a temple to demons. Knowing what it will mean for him personally, Job orders his soldiers to move against the wicked men, burning and razing the temple to the ground. Perhaps he didn't realize how intense it would be, yet Job acted knowing the danger to himself, because he was pure and chaste in his soul.

Satan comes against him, God having delivered Job into his hands, just as He will one day deliver His only Son into the hands of Satan to satisfy the older and deeper laws, as well as the more shallow ones, trusting in the obedience of the Son to raise man higher than the angels.

There is a similar legend attached to Abraham & Isaac, a story even a genius like Kierkegaard could not decipher properly, though he saw that the runes were truly dark, like the dark of the storms of God before the rainbow.

Was the Holy Mount, the mount of the Sun in Jerusalem, city of peace, the place where Satan hid the bones of Moses, after contending with Gabriel?

In the war between heaven & hell, the battleground is the human heart.

Give us more paladins like Job, O Lord, and the battle shall be yours forever.

To Him in whose sight the Seraphim are impure, but in whose sight, Father Abraham found mercy and pleasure, the One Who came among us forever, because of the love of Abraham for both God and his own son!



What will it cost to restore the bones of Europe, for which Christ has died? The darker it gets, the brighter the hero will become.
