For thus you speak: ‘Real are we entirely, and without belief or superstition.’ Thus you stick out your chests – but alas, they are hollow! – Nietzsche The phrase “men without chests,” originally coined by C.S. Lewis, is taken from a chapter in Francis Fukuyama’s The End of History and the Last Man. Much of [...]

Dismantling an illusion
For a while on amerika.org there has been a raging debate about the financial crisis and who is to blame for it. I pointed out there are basically two sides: The Open Society myth-propagating bourgeois, who somehow think our Postmodern finance-Capitalism still has anything to do with meritocracy. The other side essentially consists of the more historically [...]
Nemesis
In today’s American parlance, the word “nemesis” is taken to essentially mean an enemy, a rival, or a villain. But in Greek mythology, Nemesis is not depicted as a demon or a monster. Nemesis is, in fact, a winged Goddess. Some say that she is as beautiful as Aphrodite, herself. The Union and the Confederates. [...]
Amerikan Culture
American Culture: the elitists, intellectuals, and hooligans — whether liberal or conservative — seem to hate it. They especially detest the current (un)culture. But before we join the madness, let’s take a moment to survey the American Past. Rather than look at the American Past like we’re in a museum, politely admiring every era and [...]
Hitler – Nazis – And The Occult (M. Sabeheddin)

Lotuses on the Surface (Savitri Devi)
Savitrid Devi, Chapter 12 of L’Etang aux lotus (Calcutta, 1940) Europe is merely powerful; India is beautiful. It is beautiful because mediocrity is rare there, because quality is preserved over quantity, birth over fortune, the highest human values over those one can buy. [Image: Goddess Lakshmi (Shri) seated atop a lotus floating on the primordial [...]
The unforgettable night (Savitri Devi)
Excerpted from Savitri Devi’s Gold in the Furnace (Calcutta, 1953) I was coming from Sweden and going back to England through Germany and Belgium. The train was rolling on toward the German frontier, which I was to cross at Flensburg on the same day, the 15th of June, 1948, at about 6 P.M. All these [...]
Oswald Mosley Reconsidered (Keith Stimely)
In the five years and twenty issues of its existence, this journal of contemporary history, devoted to the unusual and the unsung — to histories untold or told generally from only one point of view, to people and ideas, movements and events and interpretations not often given (so we from our perspective suppose) a fair [...]
