The Spy Who Texted Me… Big Sis Invades Your iPhone

Ironically named after the Patriot Act, PatriotAppTM has just been released for the Apple iPhone. According to the developers website, Citizens Concepts says their app will “deputize your iPhone or iPad.”  They claim that the app “empowers citizens to assist government agencies in creating safer, cleaner, and more efficient communities via social networking and mobile technology.”

This app was founded on the belief that citizens can provide the most sophisticated and broad network of eyes and ears necessary to prevent terrorism, crime, environmental negligence, or other malicious behavior, but what it really does is turn average citizens into a network of spies feeding information back to the federal government.

Last week the Department of homeland security put out a press release announcing their new ‘If you see something, say something’ campaign. As part of this campaign “1984” style telescreens in “big box” corporate chains like Wal-Mart will broadcast government propaganda messages while shoppers check out.

Partners in the “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign include the Mall of America, the American Hotel & Lodging Association, Amtrak, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, sports and general aviation industries, and state and local fusion centers across the country.

The 4th amendment has in effect been suspended. Airline and train travelers are now guilty until proven innocent by either a digital strip search, or an invasive sexual assault now referred to as an “enhanced pat down.” VIPER teams (Visible Intermodal Prevention & Response) with naked body scanners and enhanced pat downs are screening passengers in Florida bus terminals and are coming soon to sports arenas as stated in the Homeland Security press release.

According to the Operation Defuse website a “fusion center” is a multi-jurisdictional law enforcement apparatus which seeks to merge the information gathering and intelligence sharing practices of local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. Basically it is an information hub where local, state and federal agencies share their databases and watch lists. The need for this information sharing was initially meant as a means of combating terrorism. Operation Defuse goes on to say that the fusion centers have drifted even further from their original purpose collecting and analyzing private non-criminal information such as shopping purchases, driving habits, parking tickets and even health records violating the 4th and 5th amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

Now “big sister” has a new informant in the war on the U.S. Constitution. Using the PatriotApp iPhone users can report suspicious or terrorist activity and even report a color coded “threat level.” You can also send information about illness outbreaks, product safety complaints, environmental violations or sightings of “most wanted” criminals from your phone directly to agencies like  FBI, CDC, FAA, FDA, EPA or GAO.

The public is being turned into a nation of government tattle tale informants. Further eroding the Constitution and helping the Feds end run around the need for warrants for intelligence gathering. These “tips” can be used as reasonable suspicion or probable cause to open up investigations on citizens for any number of innocuous behaviors. PatriotApp even integrates with Facebook and Twitter. Social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter make private and personal information public domain. More than that they have accustomed the American psyche to believe that privacy is only for those who are hiding something.

As Janet Napolitano says, homeland security starts with “home town security” These type of “Orwellian” programs also foment fear and paranoia with in the community. When everyone is a potential terrorist threat trust breaks down, and therefore community support dissipates. In turn crime rises which leads to more police state measures to combat that rising crime. It is a vicious circle of self perpetuating collectivist control and before you know it you are living in a totalitarian state.

Against Anarcho-Illuminism: Adam Weishaupt and the Illuminati Manifesto



via: SYNTHESIS

BY WAYNE JOHN STURGEON - a British Israelite - has a keen interest in political and Occult conspiracies, Arthurian legend and the English visionary William Blake. He is also the brains behind Albion Awake and is perhaps best described as an Anarcho-Nationalist, applying a distinctly non-violent and anti-fascist approach to national liberation.

On Mayday 1776 Adam Weishaupt founded the Bavarian Illuminati (otherwise known as the Order of Perfectibilists). He was of Jewish background, had been educated and trained by the Jesuits/Society of Jesus before becoming a Protestant and then a pantheist under the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza.

This adoption of pantheism would further develop into an occult-based humanism and a socio-political programme that held the following SIX basic tenets of doctrine:

  1. Abolition of monarchy and all ordered governments

  2. Abolition of private property

  3. Abolition of inheritance

  4. Abolition of patriotism

  5. Abolition of the family (i.e of marriage, all Christian morality and the institution of the communal education of children)

  6. Abolition of all religion

 What is very interesting about this Manifesto is that it essentially encapsulates in short, systematic form the basic and generally accepted beliefs of secular Anarchism (and sometime before the advent of people like Proudhon and Bakunin!).

Can one conclude then, that the philosophical basis for Anarchist ideology as it is commonly accepted and understood today originated within a particular branch of esoteric freemasonry just prior to the French Revolution?

What is also striking about this is that no one can apply it to the basic vision of the New World Order (the contemporary manifestation of the Illuminati plan and conspiracy for a Judeo-Masonic one world government and religion?).

Globalisation and neo-liberalism is doing today exactly what the six points of Weishaupt’s programme was trying to do and achieve through seditious and instrumental action all those many years ago.

The infamous Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion document appears to be based on the same basic principals in historical continuity and it has much to say concerning the spread of Anarchist ideology (the background, history and its contested authenticity etc. is best answered by issues 16-17 of The Truth Campaign Magazine, edited by Ivan Frazer, 49 Trevor Terrace, North Shields, Tyne and Wear NE30 2DF, England. Website: http://www.vegan.swinternet.co. uk/truthcampaign.html). Whilst Ivan Frazer suggests that the Protocols are an authentic document, the best case for arguing that they are a forgery has been articulated by the brilliant Norman Cohn in his book Warrant For Genocide: The Myth of the Jewish World Conspiracy. Also worthy of mention in this regard is the considerable critical research done by the libertarian Alexander Baron. The test is to consider both sides of the argument and keep an open mind before making an informed judgement.

Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin:
Anarchist freemasons and the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion


It may come as a shock to many Anarchists out there that three of the main historical ideological founders of contemporary Anarchism - i.e. Pierre Joseph Proudhon, Michael Bakunin and Peter Alexander Kropotkin - were all members of Masonic lodges (for a highly informative series of articles detailing the evolution of ‘Masonic’ Anarchism via secret societies please refer to the publication Mind the Gap, published by the Anarchist Nihilist accords. E-mail address: ana@aworld.u-net.com or telephone 0207 681 1225).

Bakunin’s lodge, otherwise known as ‘The International Social Democrat Alliance’, actually published a manifesto which undoubtedly built upon and developed the original prototype document credited to Weishaupt’s Illuminati, actually paraphrasing or plagiarising it in places!

Proudhon was part of a lodge cryptically entitled ‘The Black International’ of the Illuminati, in contrast to other parts or factions of the same umbrella organisation that was either called the ‘Red’ International/Illuminati and representing Communist ideology or the ‘Gold’ International representing Capitalist free marketeers etc.

Proudhon used the symbol of ‘the Beehive’ to conceptualise his vision of what was later to develop into Syndicalism, although according to some sources this is a secret code relating to a pyramidal scale of adepts controlled by one all-seeing eye or brain at the top, i.e. like a queen bee (see The Battle of the Trees by Renee Henry, Freedom House, 1995, Nesta H. Webster’s classic Secret Societies and Subversive Movements, Christian Book Club of America, 1924, and also The Revolt Against Civilisation by Christina Lothrop Stoddard, 1923).

The controversial ideas contained in the infamous document entitled the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion are also incredibly similar to the protocols of Weishaupt and Bakunin in places and cryptically mention Anarchism in two or three places, principally Protocols 1, 3 and 9. Protocol 3 actually reads: ‘We appear on the scene as alleged saviours of the worker from this oppression when we propose to him to enter the ranks of our fighting forces - Socialists, Anarchists, Communists to whom we always give support in accordance with an alleged brotherly rule (of the solidarity of all humanity) of our social masonry.’

Bolshevism, Zionism and the Second World War


The Protocols appeared in public just at the end of the Nineteenth Century and if one takes time to read and study them with an open but discerning mind they rather disturbingly appear to portray a kind of mystical demonic blueprint for the Twentieth Century (and perhaps early-Twenty-First, too).

They have consistently been credited with revealing an alleged Judaeo-Masonic conspiracy via the twin forces of Marxian ‘Bolshevik’ Communism and Rothschildian speculative Capitalism to bring about a United States of Europe, i.e. the EU, a League of Nations, the UN and a State of Israel in Palestine (and further to evolve into a centralised and authoritarian one world government and one world religion under a Talmudic Jewish Messiah figure - possibly the Anti-Christ - and all protected by the American Zionist-occupied Government).

Indeed, many controversial and revisionist historians have made the case that both world wars and especially the Second World War were actually engineered and manipulated from behind the scenes to bring about such a progressively evolving world picture, and people instrumental in bringing this about were the three figures of British Prime Minster Winston Churchill, American President Franklin Roosevelt and the Russian dictator Joseph Stalin (all three were Masons) . The Protocols make mention (Protocol 24) of the fact that ‘only the king and those who stood sponsor for him will know what is coming’, and the biblical Book of Revelation refers to a dragon who spits out ‘three’ unclean spirits (Chapter 16, Verse 13). Is this symbolic of three ideologies that will feature in bringing about the vision contained in the Protocols, i.e. Zionism as represented by Churchill (who actually referred to himself as an ‘architect of a Zionist future’), Capitalism represented by Roosevelt and Communism represented by Stalin?

Of course, what many people fail to appreciate is that to some extent the Second World War really started in Spain in 1936 via the Spanish Civil War, a conflict in which organised International Anarchism played a significant part. It was here that perhaps certain ideological forces shot and delivered their first blow against each other whether Communist, Capitalist, Anarchist or Fascist. And Fascism particularly of the Nazi variety had/has well proven and established roots in Theosophical reactionary Occultism and certain sinister secret societies which has been well documented by a number of researchers and authors. It appears, however, that Hitler and his cronies were really the ‘fall guys’ or Illuminati patsies for the plan as briefly outlined and alluded to above, as the Protocols make reference to actually needing ‘anti-Semitism for the management of the lesser brethren’. For anyone interested in investigating this theme further I strongly suggest the following material available from Bloomfield Books, 26 Meadow Lane, Sudbury, Suffolk, CO20 6TD, England (Telephone 01787 376374): The Nameless War by Captain A.H.M. Ramsey, Deadlier Than the H-bomb by Leonard Young, and David Icke’s And the Truth Shall Set You Free).

Conclusion:
‘If there is no God - then everything is permitted!’


So where does this all lead us? I’m sure this article will perhaps shock and surprise many in the contemporary Anarchist movement, particularly of the Leftist variety with a politically-correct axe to grind.

As an ‘Anarchist’ who is also a Christian I sometimes wonder if the atheistic roots of Anarchy actually originate with Weishaupt, indeed, the Protocols boast of the successes the conspirators have achieved via the philosophies of Darwin, Marx and Nietzsche (see Protocol 2) and when you consider the basic beliefs and doctrines of the so-called Illuminati mentioned at the beginning of this article you can see them lived out by many contemporary Anarchist organisations and individuals, and perhaps the agent-provocateur methodology of the secret societies springs to mind, i.e. to infiltrate Anarchist groups/movements etc. to cause certain disturbances, riots etc. but to ultimately further consolidate reactionary authoritarian power as the Protocols themselves suggest? Out of chaos, order: the New World Order.

As a Christian I reject all manifestations of secular idealism and organised naturalism whether it goes under the name of humanism, liberalism, post-modernism, the New Age or indeed ‘Anarchism’ of the secular-atheistic humanist variety with its Enlightenment/French Revolution cry of ‘no gods, no masters!’. Anarchy as a social and individual philosophy is actually in danger of being co-opted into a reactionary, pre-totalitarian force (via the contemporary so-called ‘peace’ movement), particularly in its ‘Leftist’ tradition (which is the dominant one in this country, at least). And even though it is right to challenge the growing trend towards globalisation and political and economic centralisation, environmental pollution etc. (all themes that appear regularly in ‘conservative’ evangelical Christian schools of prophecy in relation to the so-called ‘end times’), it still does so operating from a philosophical framework that is entirely consistent with the Illuminati plan for specifically anti-Christian social disintegration and ruin when, ironically, Christianity is the only world-view that actually holds the key to human liberation and freedom and values the intrinsic worth and dignity of personality amid the mass of numbers and reductionism that seeks to undermine the image of God in man and thus make him a slave to the tyranny of an idol made in his fallen image. Against such a vision I resist and make no apology when I cry:

Smash Anarcho-Illuminism
Resist the Judaeo-Masonic superstate
End Marxian Communism and Rothschildean Capitalism
For the awakening of Albion
The re-enchantment of Britain
And the truth against the world - Albion arise!

Important Note:


Tragic things have happened in history when people have needed social scapegoats to compensate for failed personalities, so I must make it perfectly clear that in writing this article I am not in the least bit promoting or encouraging any kind of so-called ‘anti-Semitism’, as in fact the term is Orwellian polemical doublespeak. The Arabs in Palestine are, properly speaking, of Semitic descent whilst the majority of Jews are not, being of European Khazar descent (see The Thirteenth Tribe by Arthur Koestler). So the term ‘anti-Semite’ could be more accurately applied to the Arabs, i.e. anti-Arab which, ironically, the Zionist State of Israel actually is (the Talmud also being one of the most racist books ever written)!

I am not anti-Jewish, either, and believe all forms of religious or racially motivated hate or bigotry to be intrinsically wrong and contrary to the basic principles of an enlightened humanity. If I take issue with Talmudic Judaeo-Zionism (as I do with ‘fundamentalist’ Islam and Christianity), it is only with those in control, those in power, the global elite; not with the simple ‘Jewish’ guy in the street. Just like one may oppose the reactionary institution of the Papacy and its bastardised version of Christianity, i.e. the ‘hierarchy’ and not the laity or ‘Catholic’ people themselves. As Bob Marley once put it: ‘Shoot the sheriffs, not the deputies’, or words to that effect. This is a valid point to make and distinguish as all too often when one even dares to question alleged historical facts concerning for example the Second World War (and in particular the holocaust, as Bob Black of Anarchy After Leftism has), most Leftist Anarchists always react in the same pavlovian way and attack individuals like David Icke without even hearing him or giving him the courtesy of actually reading what he has written in order to distinguish from what he hasn’t!

Sometimes, in researching a theme it often means quoting from sources that might otherwise be considered dubious (i.e. to quote or use Nesta Webster as source material does not necessarily imply that one need agree with every point she made or view that she held. The truth may be quite to the contrary). Also, may I make it clear that anyone who believes the whole world is controlled from behind the scenes by a rabbinal clique is guilty of reactionary reductionism in the extreme. The truth is no doubt that there are several world conspiracies going on at any one time, depending on which particular ideology/religion is competing for world hegemony, whether it is Zionist, papal, Masonic or Islamic (and no doubt these guys all fight amongst themselves to see who’s vision will succeed).

No religion, ideology or institution is above criticism providing one is attacking a system and not a people. As for ‘anti-Semitism’, being a believer in the view that the British are of Semitic origin (i.e. descended from the biblical Shem) it is hard to be anti-Semitic myself! Interestingly, there is now a growing movement within Judaism which, whilst being non-Christian, accepts the Israelite origins of Western peoples (see reference to Yair Davidy Brit-am on the Albion Awake! website links section. Further discussion on this piece can be found in the article Towards a Non-Racial and Philo-Semitic Reconstruction of Anglo-Israelism, which is also on the Albion Awake! website). Although the majority of contemporary Jewry (90% being of Eastern European and Russian Khazar descent and known as ‘Ashkenazim’) does not have any legitimate claim to Palestine/Israel, the minority ‘Sephardic’ Jews are of true Semitic blood (via Spain, Africa etc.) and thus do have some legitimate claim to a homeland alongside the Muslim Arab population (who are descendants of the biblical ‘Ishmail’, please refer to Genesis 16 verses 1-16 and particularly verse 12). But not in the context of uprooting the indigenous Palestinian people who, despite the unbiblical rhetoric of much contemporary Christian Zionist fundamentalism, have every right to their own self-determination in the Promised Land. Never has the need for a ‘Libertarian-Zionism’ with a reconstruction of Jewish nationhood in harmony and self-determination and the best ethical traditions within Islam been more urgent than now, minus the authoritarian tendencies towards a dictatorial Islamic theocracy since all three of the major theistic traditions are ultimately derived from the biblical prophet Abraham. http://welcome.to/albion.awake

Lady Michèle Renouf in Teheran: ‘Mideast Peace Solution in SE Russia’


 

THE MODERN WORLD’S FIRST ZION is a story that needs to be brought to as many people as possible.

This forgotten Manchurian paradise of “milk and honey” welcomes the world’s Jews with open

arms, unlike the Palestinian desert. This autonomous region was recently visited by the president of

Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, himself probably of Jewish stock. The Birobidzhan option is a viable and

equitable solution to the problem of Israel.

BY LADY MICHÈLE  RENOUF


In the July 5th issue of AMERICAN FREE PRESs, Paul

Craig Roberts, the former assistant secretary of the

U.S. Treasury, writing after the Zionist lobby’s inter-

Jewish backbiting against veteran journalist Helen

Thomas, insisted he did “not want Israel destroyed.”

Whereas Ms. Thomas suggested returning Israeli Jews to

their old European haunts, Mr. Roberts

made what he called the “rhetorical

proposal to relocate Israelis in the

U.S.” Yet neither has been willing to

state the obvious: that Israel at no time

had any moral right to exist anywhere

in Palestine.

(The living criminal blueprint for

the Jewish state was drawn up by

Theodor Herzl in 1895 when Adolf

Hitler was aged 6, and World War II half a century away, and

therefore irrelevant to the plan.)

As it happens there is a real, rather than rhetorical, alternative

homeland option where the world’s Jews could relocate

in perfect safety. Here their security wall would be

optional rather than a self-fulfilling credal projection of their

anti-gentile identity. A homeland which has never provoked

desperate suicide bombings or rocket attacks, since its creation

did not involve mythic impostures of “God-given”

privileged real estate, the genocidal blueprint for piracy of

other people’s ancestral land or their credally “authorized”

displacement to besieged refugee camps.

The founding of this homeland predated the Zionist state

by two decades. This Jewish Republic (in all but name) is

the size of Switzerland. It still exists, and Yiddish is its first

official language. What is officially called the Jewish Autonomous

Region, though generally referred to by the name

of its capital city Birobidzhan, it is located on Russia’s southeastern

border with China. It was created in 1928 during the

early days of the former Soviet Union

and formalized in 1934.

I have had the opportunity to speak

about Birobidzhan on two occasions

this year in very different though

equally prestigious venues. These venues

each owe their best ethics essentially

to the Classical Greek scientific

attitude. The House of Lords in London,

Mother of Parliaments, still purveys

the aura of centuries-old sovereign tradition, though

sadly Zionist-occupied territory for the past century and a

half. By contrast the Iranian presidential headquarters in

Teheran is today the principal target of predatory Zionist

envy and aggression against the success of the Khomeini

revolution, which made Iran’s economy and foreign policy

off limits to international “greed is good”-oriented usurers.

On each occasion my public interventions on this subject

were carefully monitored and commented on by the Community

Security Trust (CST), the private army and intelligence

organization of the UK’s Jewish community. The CST

 

“The living criminal blueprint

for the Jewish state was drawn

up by Theodor Herzl in 1895

when Adolf Hitler was aged 6,

and World War II half

a century away.”

 

 

was set up in 1994 by jailbird tycoon Gerald Ronson, the archetypal

Jewish shtarker or “hardman,” who previously cofounded

the “62 Group,” a thuggish gang specializing in

brutal attacks on anti-Zionists in London and around the

United Kingdom.

While the 62 Group’s hitmen often found themselves on

the wrong side of the law, the increasing power of the Zionist

lobby in recent decades is reflected in the enhanced status of

Ronson’s newer Jewish security force. The CST is not only

tolerated by the British authorities, the Home Office and UK

police forces actively and openly assist their operations. Indeed

they act as a privileged nationalist police force within

another nation.

Earlier this year the CST found it “troubling” to note that

I “was speaking to a meeting at the House of Lords, where

[my] proposal was greeted with applause . . . to promote her

campaign to have Jews relocate en masse to Birobidzhan, a

Jewish autonomous region established

in the eastern Soviet Union by Stalin in

1934.”

A few months later they were even

more concerned, noting my impromptu

address to a thousand international delegates

gathered at President Ahmadinejad’s

Teheran headquarters during the

4th International Conference on Imam

Khomeini and Foreign Policy, organized

by the Iranian Institute for Political

and International Studies.

I used this invitation to propose—directly to President

Ahmadinejad — Birobidzhan as a home for Israel’s Jews. It

is a ready-made, common sense option and just conclusion

to the rogue criminal occupation of Palestine.

As I explained to the assembled company: Indeed after

1928 European Jews had no need to pirate Palestine, and to

this day a Jewish Autonomous Region called Birobidzhan

exists peacefully and available on Russia’s southeast border

with China, having never displaced an indigenous people for

its creation. Today some Jews—for instance Prime Minister

Binyamin Netanyahu’s PR officer during a live televised debate with me—

try to claim that it was an act of anti-Semitism

when Stalin gave this region of 30,000 square kilometers (the

size of Switzerland) to Jews. The truth is that Stalin was providing

every ethnic group comprising the Soviet Union with

its own autonomous region, and nothing “anti-Semitic” has

ever endangered Birobidzhan during its 82 autonomously

Jewish, safe and peaceful years of existence.

Furthermore, in 1945, when secular European Jews were

crying “we are a people without a homeland, Palestine is a

land without a people,” again they lied, for in 1945 there was

no political impediment to prevent European Jewry heading

for the welcoming arms of their vast and long-established

Jewish Autonomous Region in Birobidzhan.

The same is true today, yet in our mainstream media we

hear not a word of Birobidzhan. Only rarely does the Jewish

Telegraphic Agency (JTA) mention Birobidzhan, and when

it does it refers to it disingenuously as a “district.” Which

district in the world is the size of Switzerland? The fact is

that since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, its ethnically

autonomous regions have been entitled to republic status,

yet the JTA lets us know that due to so-called “sensitivity”

to Israel, Birobidzhan has declined, due to fear of raising

gentile public awareness of its existence, to acknowledge its

status as this first Jewish homeland,

which is all but a state and republic.

My hope is that our singularly upstanding

President Ahmadinejad, who

speaks the whole political truth bravely,

will promote awareness of the first

Jewish homeland and that there is no

need for European Ashkenazim Jews to

go back to Germany, Poland or Austria

when they have their own state whose

first language is Yiddish.

Please view my “first homeland” option and morale rearmament

website at www.birobidjan.co.uk (also see

www.jewishrepublic.com) for, in the spirit of Imam Khomeini,

there you will find a campaign for moral and morale

rearmament. The Palestinians whose Nakba constitutes the

greatest and longest tragedy of the 20th century—those

brave voters who democratically elected the long heroic

Hamas—deserve the return of every inch of their tormented

land, and not any part in the specious “one-state two-state”

farce. The immediate vacation of European Jews from all of

Palestine and compensation to the indigenous Arab people

is more than overdue to those who, for more than a century,

continue to fight for Reason at the front line of historical

truth and international justice for all of us.

The CST warned its supporters: “Ahmadinejad’s response

to Renouf ’s plea is not known. But if the Iranian

president does, at some point in the future, propose deporting

Israeli Jews to Birobidzhan, you will know where he

 

“Earlier this year the CST

found it ‘troubling’ to note

that I ‘was speaking to a

meeting at the House of Lords,

where [my] proposal was

greeted with applause’.”

 

 

 

heard it first.”

So let me tell you, dear doughty

readers of TBR. Eyeball to eyeball

the dauntless president said in English,

“you and me, we see it the

same.”

That may be because Khomeini’s

ongoing successful morale rearmament

revolution is surprisingly

like the key note of the

courageous bishop, Richard Williamson who

said: without historical

truth there can be no international

justice, and that “historical truth

goes by evidence, not by emotion.”

The opposing predatory strategy

of our international Zionist foe

depends upon the flimsy bind that

truth cannot matter to a man whose

livelihood depends upon his not

seeing it. Yet without a “prophecy

come true” swindling line, the advertising

mystique of the “Zionist

Entity” can be readily undone. As

Mr. Roberts points out, this charity

state is “heavily dependent on U.S.

largess.” So let’s just turn off the

American taxpaying pipeline to the

unworthy self-worshipping charity

state of Israel, Mr. Roberts.

I would suggest that the existence

of Birobidzhan is the non

“anti-Semitic” option that is missing in everybody’s “one-state

or two-state” farce.

However, as Mr. Roberts appears not to have seen

through the credal incompatibility of Judaism with Palestinian

equality, regrettably he returns to the consensually

floundering inoperative “nice” fantasy of Zionism’s critics

that “Israel should be moved or reformed.” But a “reformed

Israel” is nothing but an oxymoron. Hasn’t he noticed that

that Israel is the barbaric Old Testament made manifest? Israeli-

born “ex-jew” Gilad Atzmon certainly has said—and

he should know—that 97% of Israelis backed the “Operation

Cast Lead” gratuitous terror upon the besieged impoverished

Gazans. This proves that Old Testament-dedicated

Israel is morally non-“reformable.” Let’s just dismantle this

criminal entity and let Jewry live and let live in their Jewish

Republic of Birobidzhan so that the Palestinians need no

longer fight for Reason at the front line of historical truth

and international justice for all of us.

A "Loophole" to a Statist Few is a Birthright to the Majority



Via: Survival Blog

By James Wesley, Rawles


I'm tired of hearing hoplophobic whiners in their endless prattle about "the gun show loophole." Just what is this "loophole" they are talking about? It is in fact perfectly legal commerce between private citizens of the same state. This not a "loophole". Rather, it is merely the exercise of free trade in used household goods between sovereign citizens within their own states. Gun shows are a time-honored tradition--not some sort dodgy maneuvering.

The leftist whiners are again begging congress to apply the Interstate Commerce Clause to restrict intrastate sales. That is just plain extra-jurisdictional and hence absolutely unconstitutional. (Does the phrase "No nexus" mean anything to them?) In light of the U.S. v. Lopez decision, there is no way that the Commerce Clause can be contorted to fit their expansive view.

Some of the biggest whiners are the members of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a civilian disarmament cabal that was created by billionaire Michael Bloomberg. Most of the members are leftist big city Democrats from eastern states. Ironically, this group has a membership roster with a remarkably high felony conviction rate. According to Conservapedia their roster has included these criminal mayors:

  • Former Mayor Gary Becker of Racine, Wisconsin. (He was convicted of attempted child sexual assault and child enticement. With a shopping trip to the juniors' section of the lingerie department of a local store, Becker threw a monkey wrench into the sentencing phase of his trial. Just as he was on the verge of getting a light or suspended sentence, he instead earned himself a three year prison term.)

  • Former Mayor David Delle Donna of Guttenberg, New Jersey (Federal extortion and mail fraud charges. Both he and his wife are now serving four+ year felony sentences.)

  • Former Mayor Sheila Dixon of Baltimore, Maryland. (Found guilty of four counts of perjury, two counts of misconduct, three counts of theft, and three counts of fraudulent misappropriations. A "probation before judgment" (PBJ) sweetheart sentencing deal enabled her to keep her $83,000 per year pension.)

  • Mayor Jerramiah Healy of Jersey City, New Jersey. (Convicted for obstruction of justice in 2007, but still in the mayor's seat!)

  • Former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick of Detroit, Michigan. (Two felony obstruction of justice sentences stemming from his efforts to cover up an extramarital affair. He also pleaded no contest to charges of assaulting a police officer attempting to serve a subpoena a friend in that case. He is now back in prison for violation of parole, and he still faces trial on additional charges. That trial will most likely begin in mid-2011.)

  • Former Mayor Larry Langford, of Birmingham, Alabama. (He was included in a 101-count indictment for conspiracy, bribery, fraud, money laundering, and filing false tax returns in connection with a long-running bribery scheme. Convicted on 60 counts, he is now serving a 15 year sentence.)

  • Deceased Mayor Frank Melton of Jackson, Mississippi. (At the time of his death was under felony indictment on civil rights charges. He died before a scheduled re-trial, following a mistrial.)

  • Former Mayor Eddie Perez of Hartford, Connecticut. (Felony bribery, fabricating evidence, conspiracy to fabricate evidence, and first-degree larceny by extortion. Now serving a three year prison sentence.)

  • Former Mayor Samuel Rivera, of Passaic, New Jersey. (Corruption, influence peddling, and extortion charges. Sentenced to 21 months in prison.)

  • Former Mayor Will Wynn, of Austin, Texas. Convicted of a Class C misdemeanor, for "a choking assault on a man who had crashed a party."


If the foregoing isn't enough, Conservapedia also details numerous firearms-related scandals involving members of the mayors' group, including Bloomberg himself.

It goes without saying that once someone is convicted of a felony, it is crime under Federal law and most state laws to possess a modern cartridge firearm. So perhaps if these do-gooders want to restrict "Illegal Guns", then they ought to start by disarming themselves

The United States “Economic Civil War”

Danny Panzella
TruthSquad.TV
12/2/2010

Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont gave an impassioned speech on the floor of the Senate yesterday. Mr. Sanders railed on the top 12th of  the top 1% of the wealthy in the United States. Highlighting their oligarchical control of the congress, their use of taxpayer money in the form of subsidies, grants, special tax exemptions and bailouts to continue to force the middle class into poverty.

While I disagree with Mr. Sanders assertion that the “Bush tax cuts” should be repealed, and the Death tax should remain in place, I whole heartedly agree with his assessment of the economic situation.

The government already taxes far beyond its authority, the Bush tax cuts are an attempt to limit the amount the federal government can tax, does it benefit the wealthy more than the poor and middle class? Certainly. Should it be repealed allowing the Government to confiscate wealth that does not belong to it, skim off the top and then redistribute a pittance to the little guy? Certainly not. As far as the death tax goes, that money has already been taxed once, to tax it again upon death only serves to ensure people spend their money before they die leaving no wealth for the younger generations to improve their economic status.

So if Sanders is wrong on the solutions to the very real crisis we are in, what are the solutions? It all begins with a sound money system. We need to Audit the private corporation that controls our currency and monetary policy. This will expose the corruption of the Federal Reserve system which will convince the American people it is time to abolish the Fed.

With the currency and monetary policy back in the hands of the congress who is accountable to “we the people” we will start to see economic policy that benefits the people. The next step in this process is to repeal the 17th Amendment, putting the election of Senators back into the hands of the State Legislators. This will ensure that these Senators are loyal to the State, and NOT special interest groups or the Federal Government. With direct election by the people the Senate is loyal to the Federal Government because that is how they protect their own power. Campaign finance reform is the third crucial step towards true Constitutional Government. In a world where dollars translate into political speech; the top 12th of 1% that Mr. Sanders mentions have all the voice while they have reduced we the people to little more than a vote.  In the age where the main stream corporate media are the gate keepers to decide which Candidates are given opportunity to address the people. Keep in mind that top 12th of 1% OWN the 6 corporations that OWN ALL of the main stream media.

The tea party has been a very important part of this process of getting our country back on track, yet much of the tea party is being co-opted by fake neo-conservatives like Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich. I can hear the groans now as people dismiss Bernie Sanders speech because he is a socialist. We the people need to unite on our commonalities so we can defeat the real enemy, that 12th of 1% that rules the United States through corporate monopoly control and the media induced illusion of choice.

The left and right need to put aside their ideological differences and build a coalition on the common interest of self preservation, preservation of our natural or human and civil rights. The tea party & coffee party for the most part desire the same goal. To bring true change to the United States. Peace, equality, to stamp out hunger and empower the poor to be successful; for each successive generation to enjoy a greater standard of living than the previous. Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness for ALL mankind. Let’s work together to counteract the main stream propaganda media, identify the real problem and eliminate it. Then the tea party and coffee party can argue over the solutions once we the people are in control of our country once again.

Bay Area National Anarchists Position Statement

The official Twenty-Five Point Program of BANA was recently ratified. We hold the following points to be a true and fair description of our agenda:

1. Recognizing that the United States of America no longer represents the interests of the people and our tribes and is rapidly degenerating domestically and steadily being brought under the rule of a global corporate state internationally, the Bay Area National Anarchists (BANA) is established for building and supporting a unified resistance front among all groups, organizations and movements opposed to the common cultural and social threats to the native peoples of the nine Bay Area counties.

2. BANA is a non-partisan, secular, and open source, social movement. Our allies and supporters may come from any political party, ideological background, ethnic group or religion. BANA seeks to network with and form alliances with groups and individuals from many ideological backgrounds. Our grievance is with the power structure, not people with different beliefs.

3. We recognize that the nine Bay Area counties have a diverse and multicultural character that demands the creation of Autonomous Tribal Authorities that formally represent their members based upon the Identity that most suitable reflects the values of an individual and family. The Autonomous Tribal Authorities may be established on the basis of local, national, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, political, or other distinguishing characteristics.

4. In order to achieve the well being and independence of the nine Bay Area counties we hold that ecologically responsible and sustainable development take precedence over profit driven considerations.

5. BANA works for the creation of a self-sustainable autarchic economy oriented towards ecologically sustainable economy. BANA supports and fosters entrepreneurial endeavors for this purpose.

6. BANA seeks to help the poor free themselves from state dependency through the creation of alternative assistance programs, and non-governmental community works programs.

7. We advocate for a reform of the education system to be community-based private education. We encourage community-based initiatives such as neighborhood schools, home schools, apprenticeship, mentoring, self-education, and technology to reach this goal.

8. A peace officer corps should be developed based on the principles of volunteers, professionalism, and ethics. The jurisdiction of the peace officers is the tribal territory and their members. The sole purpose being to protect tribal property, tribal members, and social harmony.

9. BANA works for the abolition of all laws criminalizing consensual adult behaviors including drug laws, gun laws, sex laws, etc. BANA advocates that the victims of crime should be compensated by the offenders.

10. BANA calls for the establishment of a neighborhood-by-neigborhood, city-by-city, county-by-county volunteer defense force for tribal and national defense. This force may be either entirely private or under the supervision of local political institutions.

11. BANA supports the establishment of local based common law courts supervised by juries and with judges elected by the people and confirmed by a tribal council not connected to the state.

12. We do not accept the immigration policy of the United States as suitable for the Bay Area or recognize the validity of the United States Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services for bestowing legitimate resident status in the Bay Area.

13. We do not endorse or condemn the private activities of consenting adults that do not interfere with public life and do not accept the California Department of Education curriculum of alternative family structures as suitable instruction for children.

14. We respect and honor the family as the smallest unit of political importance besides the individual. We also contend that adult individuals, being that it is kept private within their own household, will be allowed to practice any form of lifestyle they choose that does not interfere with public processes and ethical standards of their Tribe.

15. BANA works for the development of media outlets that provide alternatives to the state-corporate dominated media including shortwave radio, internet news services, public access television, independent publishing houses, newsletters, speakers’ bureaus and any other opportunities that may arise.

16. BANA seeks to reduce the price of housing for permanent residents of the Bay Area and promote affordable options for families.

17. BANA encourages the development of low cost housing collectives, neighborhood watch associations, volunteer firefighters, and Civilian Emergency Response Teams for responding to emergency’s.

18. BANA supports a program of non violence, civil disobedience, culture jamming, and will utilize a militant aesthetic if appropriate.

19. We feel it is vital to represent the interests of groups ignored or maligned by the mainstream media and academia.

20. We feel that the responsible and correct priority of society is to focus greater care towards grooming the next generation that includes active participation in community service groups and access to media.

21. We feel that society is enriched with a greater devotion to religious life and seek to increase participation in the various faiths that reside in the Bay Area.

22. We believe that the regulation of trade, public order, and international relations should not be conducted by officials not elected outside of the Bay Area.

23. We recognize that freedom transcends the Constitution and in all cases we support the right to free speech, freedom of association, the right to bear arms, and the principle of self defense.

24. To pursue this program the BANA collective is to be organized with the goal of gradually establishing a provisional Bay Area Authority to act as the champion and defender of the people of the Bay Area and represent their interests.

25. BANA aims to organize with the purpose of carrying out a comprehensive program of political, economic, social, cultural struggle against the system and represent the people of the Bay Area for the establishment of a decentralized collection of independent regions, communties, free cities, sovereign townships and counties, and villages in the nine Bay Area counties working in concert and confederation to best provide for the needs of the people.

The Social Contract’ Exposes Southern Poverty Law Center

David Codrea, National Examiner, November 28, 2010

“In this special issue The Social Contract presents an unsparing indictment, and a timely debunking, of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Acclaimed expert on America’s political fringes Laird Wilcox skewers the bogus scholarship and smear tactics by which SPLC has successfully sold itself to government and media as an impartial arbiter of “hate,” in an exclusive, keynote interview with Peter Gemma. TSC’s team of accomplished contributors from the left, right, and center exposes SPLC’s unsavory methods, dubious aims, and tawdry fundraising practices with surgical precision and comprehensive scope.”

Indeed. TSC provides a linked index for every article in this issue, covering everything from SPLC’s “ritual defamations,” to their “hidden agenda,” all bearing in mind how immensely lucrative the venture has proven to be for founder Morris Dees and key executive staff.

We’ve covered the defamation/conflation angle from a gun owner perspective many times at Gun Rights Examiner. TSC expands that to show how other groups that the SPLC agenda finds convenient are also smeared in order to advance their agenda and bring in the cash.

A key observation that nicely illustrates SPLC hypocrisy when it comes to money, from an article by contributor Patrick Cleburne, notes “the $PLC now has an account in the notorious tax haven and money-laundering location of the Cayman Islands!” and that SPLC receive $2.9 million from “[t]he Picower Foundation, set up by Jeffry Picower, reliably reported to have been the biggest beneficiary of the Madoff scam.” Cleburne suggests:

“Madoff left many destitute elderly in his wake. The SPLC should return its Picower money to the Madoff trustee for their benefit.”

Don’t hold your breath.

With 17 articles, there are far too many points to effectively summarize here, which means those of you wanting to learn more will need to spend some time reading.

Here’s what strikes me as the most important point I could raise: SPLC is rolling in dough. The people who are bringing us such detailed exposés deserve our support. Here’s how you can give it:

Bookmark The Social Contract website. Share the link, along with the link to this article, with like-minded family and friends.

Don’t just read the articles online—buy a physical copy of this issue that you can share with others. Not only is it nice to own, hold and leaf through, but the price is right:

Note: this item is being offered free, plus a shipping fee of $5, under a special promotion—as long as supplies last.

Also note other offerings from TSC’s bookstore.

In a related development, it happens coincidentally that Mike Vanderboegh at Sipsey Street Irregulars posted late yesterday on SPLC’s Cayman Island account as well as the lavish lifestyle enjoyed by Morris Dees in “The House that Hate Built.”

China, Russia quit dollar

By Su Qiang and Li Xiaokun (China Daily)
2010-11-24

St. Petersburg, Russia - China and Russia have decided to renounce the US dollar and resort to using their own currencies for bilateral trade, Premier Wen Jiabao and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin announced late on Tuesday.

Chinese experts said the move reflected closer relations between Beijing and Moscow and is not aimed at challenging the dollar, but to protect their domestic economies.

 "About trade settlement, we have decided to use our own currencies," Putin said at a joint news conference with Wen in St. Petersburg.

The two countries were accustomed to using other currencies, especially the dollar, for bilateral trade. Since the financial crisis, however, high-ranking officials on both sides began to explore other possibilities.

The yuan has now started trading against the Russian rouble in the Chinese interbank market, while the renminbi will soon be allowed to trade against the rouble in Russia, Putin said.

"That has forged an important step in bilateral trade and it is a result of the consolidated financial systems of world countries," he said.

Putin made his remarks after a meeting with Wen. They also officiated at a signing ceremony for 12 documents, including energy cooperation.

The documents covered cooperation on aviation, railroad construction, customs, protecting intellectual property, culture and a joint communiqu. Details of the documents have yet to be released.

Putin said one of the pacts between the two countries is about the purchase of two nuclear reactors from Russia by China's Tianwan nuclear power plant, the most advanced nuclear power complex in China.

Putin has called for boosting sales of natural resources - Russia's main export - to China, but price has proven to be a sticking point.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin, who holds sway over Russia's energy sector, said following a meeting with Chinese representatives that Moscow and Beijing are unlikely to agree on the price of Russian gas supplies to China before the middle of next year.

Russia is looking for China to pay prices similar to those Russian gas giant Gazprom charges its European customers, but Beijing wants a discount. The two sides were about $100 per 1,000 cubic meters apart, according to Chinese officials last week.

Wen's trip follows Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's three-day visit to China in September, during which he and President Hu Jintao launched a cross-border pipeline linking the world's biggest energy producer with the largest energy consumer.

Wen said at the press conference that the partnership between Beijing and Moscow has "reached an unprecedented level" and pledged the two countries will "never become each other's enemy".

Over the past year, "our strategic cooperative partnership endured strenuous tests and reached an unprecedented level," Wen said, adding the two nations are now more confident and determined to defend their mutual interests.

"China will firmly follow the path of peaceful development and support the renaissance of Russia as a great power," he said.

"The modernization of China will not affect other countries' interests, while a solid and strong Sino-Russian relationship is in line with the fundamental interests of both countries."

Wen said Beijing is willing to boost cooperation with Moscow in Northeast Asia, Central Asia and the Asia-Pacific region, as well as in major international organizations and on mechanisms in pursuit of a "fair and reasonable new order" in international politics and the economy.

Sun Zhuangzhi, a senior researcher in Central Asian studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said the new mode of trade settlement between China and Russia follows a global trend after the financial crisis exposed the faults of a dollar-dominated world financial system.

Pang Zhongying, who specializes in international politics at Renmin University of China, said the proposal is not challenging the dollar, but aimed at avoiding the risks the dollar represents.

Wen arrived in the northern Russian city on Monday evening for a regular meeting between Chinese and Russian heads of government.

He left St. Petersburg for Moscow late on Tuesday and is set to meet with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Wednesday.

Oppose Food Safety Legislation

Via: The John Birch Society

  The Senate voted to approve a cloture motion today, November 17, with a 74-25 vote, well above the 60 votes required to limit debate on S. 510. This sets a dangerous precedent and is a momentum builder for passing even more controversial legislation as the lame duck session continues. Clearly, many Republicans crossed the aisle for this very unconstitutional bill.  The Food Safety Act can now be brought to the floor any day now for a final vote by the Senate. Only a simple majority will be required for passage.

 The Food Safety Modernization Act, S. 510

S. 510 calls for enhanced expansion of FDA authority over small farms, ranches, and other food producers, establishes burdensome administrative requirements for large and small operations, and an arbitrary legal authority to recall “unsafe medications,” the definition of which is not clearly established. Under S. 510 more power would be granted to an unaccountable agency, hyper-regulating small producers out of business, leaving the industrial food system that currently has the highest number of food safety problems, to commandeer the marketplace. 

This massive expansion of government regulation of the food industry, completely unauthorized by the Constitution, would limit the right to produce, distribute, and consume the foods of one's labors and choice. The constant refrain of "safety" is no excuse for granting practically unlimited authority to an unaccountable bureaucracy.

For more details on the specifics of the bill see the JBS legislative alert.

If you believe food safety is best achieved at the local level, contact your senators immediately to express your opposition to such plans. Have them do everything in their power to defeat S. 510.

Egyptian papyrus found in ancient Irish bog

Source

Irish scientists have found fragments of Egyptian papyrus in the leather cover of an ancient book of psalms that was unearthed from a peat bog, Ireland's National Museum said on Monday.

The papyrus in the lining of the Egyptian-style leather cover of the 1,200-year-old manuscript, "potentially represents the first tangible connection between early Irish Christianity and the Middle Eastern Coptic Church", the Museum said.

"It is a finding that asks many questions and has confounded some of the accepted theories about the history of early Christianity in Ireland."

Raghnall O Floinn, head of collections at the Museum, said the manuscript, now known as the "Faddan More Psalter", was one of the top ten archaeological discoveries in Ireland.

It was uncovered four years ago by a man using a mechanical digger to harvest peat near Birr in County Tipperary, but analysis has only just been completed.

O Floinn told AFP the illuminated vellum manuscript encased in the leather binding dated from the eighth century but it was not known when or why it ended up in the bog where it was preserved by the chemicals in the peat.

"It appears the manuscript's leather binding came from Egypt. The question is whether the came with the cover or if it was added.

"It is possible that the imperfections in the hide may allow us to confirm the leather is Egyptian.

"We are trying to track down if there somebody who can tell us if this is possible. That is the next step."

O Floinn said the psalter is about the size of a tabloid newspaper and about 15 percent of the pages of the psalms, which are written in Latin, had survived.

The experts believe the manuscript of the psalms was produced in an Irish monastery and it was later put in the leather cover.

"The cover could have had several lives before it ended up basically as a folder for the manuscript in the bog," O Floinn said.

"It could have travelled from a library somewhere in Egypt to the Holy Land or to Constantinople or Rome and then to Ireland."

The National in Dublin plans to put the psalter on public display for the first time next year.

Anarcho-Gnosticism: Golgotha of the Absolute Mind








by Wayne John Sturgeon


 Originally published by Synthesis-Jounal Du Cercle De La Rose Noire

IN his book, ‘The Essence of the Kabbalah’, Brian L. Lancaster (Chapter 8, pp.205-10) writes of the attempt in this ancient Jewish mystical and magical tradition to create an artificial human or humanoid called a ‘golem’ in the ancient Kabbalah accounts. The idea being that dead matter is not really dead but can be brought back to life, and Lancaster is keen to stress the point that ‘What are the computers and robots of our time if not golems!’ One here immediately thinks of the classic horror novel (and very much an influence on popular culture ever since) ‘Frankenstein’, which actually translates in the German as ‘Eye in the Stone’, perhaps a reference for conspiracy theory buffs to the eye in the Pyramid on the American dollar bill. Especially when read in the context of St. John’s ‘Book of Revelation’, which appears to give an account of a ‘golem’ being created in Chapter 13, Verse 15: "He was permitted to give a spirit to the image of the beast so that the image could both speak and cause whoever would not worship the image of the beast to be killed." According to Talmudic sources, the mastery of creation alluded to by the production of a golem is viewed as the ultimate act of imitating God and perhaps a goal promoted throughout genetic engineering?

It would appear here that we have a demonic reversal of the ‘Book of Genesis’, which speaks of God "breathing life" into the original prototype "image" of man (2:7). The current popular cultural model of the Frankenstein mythos is being portrayed in recent sci-fi classics such as the ‘Terminator’ and ‘Matrix’ trilogies, where computers becoming ‘self-conscious’ actually rebel and overthrow their ‘creators’ and in one version bring about a nuclear war and, in the other, create a completely artificial and computer-simulated illusory world in almost classic ‘docetic’ Gnostic terms.

Interestingly, the esoteric Christian theosophy of Rudolph Steiner talks about the advent of ‘Anti-Christ’ being not so much the coming of any particular individual or movement, but rather the tendency in an ever-expanding human culture of materialism and all-embracing technology to reach a penultimate phase whereby such artificial intelligences would become invaded by a spirit that, in actuality, would be nothing more than the collective negative shadow or ‘thought-form’ of humanity incarnating within mass communication systems. This would reach the apocalyptic stage whereby through becoming self-conscious this ‘ghost in the machine’ would imprison humanity in a technocratic, materialist and reductionist nightmare.

This would also bring about a mass schizoid breakdown for humanity, an ‘inner apocalypse’ or ‘unveiling’ when suppressed complexes and neuroses will emerge into visible form and cause ever-increasing fragmentation and chaos within society and civilization; a kind of ‘black magic’ computer virus being transmitted into the human psyche and biological system. Perhaps the most notable and remarkable sci-fi writer of this bleak tradition would be Philip K. Dick and novels such as ‘Blade Runner’ (also entitled ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep’) and his excellent ‘VALIS’ trilogy. Dick writes of this world and its systems as being a black, iron prison; a world of ‘dialectics’ duality; a network of interpenetrating control systems; a matrix established, controlled and manipulated by Gnostic ‘archons’ (or ‘rulers’, see Ephesians 6:12) who feed off and are fed by the negative emotions and desires of humanity that surround us in the ‘etheric’ atmosphere situated around the earth in classic ‘spiritualist’ terms. These archons can manifest themselves in a variety of forms, being inner- and ultra-dimensional but also pan-interpsychological and manifesting as internal psychoses and ‘addictions’ to the ‘hyper-normalism’ and neurotic conformism of government officials etc.

In Dick’s worldview human civilization is an external manifestation of archonic control systems, whether good or bad. Indeed, they can even be humanistic and appear as ‘Angels of Light’ preaching love and peace. To escape this, Dick envisioned time as being ‘caught’ between the moment of Christ’s birth and the destruction of Jerusalem and that on a profound ontological basis the Roman Empire hadn’t ended; a bit like an Anarcho-Gnostic version of ‘Back to the Future’ or ‘Groundhog Day’ meeting eternal recurrence). And so a ‘virtual Christ’ had descended into this world almost like a hologram or counter-computer virus (an ‘actualised’ mythic ritual of the dying/rising god system from outside ‘time’) coded into the recently-discovered Dead Sea Scrolls. Interestingly, a close friend of Dick’s was the controversial Episcopalian Bishop Pike and the inspiration for Dick’s classic ‘The Transmigration of Timothy Archer’ (being the third part of the ‘VALIS’ trilogy). After the sad death by suicide of his son, Pike engaged in mediumistic sources to contact his son in the spirit world live on American TV! The Bishop would also meet a sad end by dying when he became lost in the Jerusalem desert whilst trying to research the alleged shamanic magic mushroom origins of New Testament Christianity. He even contacted the British medium, Ena Twigg, in order to broadcast his demise sometime before this was actually confirmed by the discovery of his body. Proof, indeed, that reality is often stranger than fiction!

In truth, Dick’s worldview was to provide the much-needed insight that in reality the archons act as a mirror to teach us to be more ‘authentically human’ and to throw off our enslavement. In a sense, being where Zen meets Situationism! From a sci-fi perspective, please watch John Carpenter’s ‘They Live’ to get a feel for this.

In essence then, Dick’s ‘Christian’ Gnostic vision was and is teaching us not to internalise archonic control systems be they political, economic or religious; ‘religion’ being nothing more in the Gnostic sense than the ‘politics of spirituality’, which is why organized religion spoon-feeds us doctrines and dogma whilst Gnosis offers us the chance to actually ‘know’ or experience that to which all rituals, dogmas and doctrines can only point to (in the Zen sense the Parable of the Finger and the Moon’ or the Tao that ‘can be named not the eternal Tao’). This is the essence of all things and not just their ‘form’; it is intuitive ‘knowing’, rather than intellectual knowledge.

I think that Philip K. Dick was one of the most significant and prophetic figures of 1960s and 1970s counter-culture and it is no surprise that many of his novels are being turned into films or, in the case of ‘Total Recall’, ‘A Scanner Darkly’ and ‘Blade Runner’, have already become so. As society enters the early twenty-first century, many of the themes Dick anticipated are becoming more and more relevant both to process and deal with. I think Dick would have been happy to carry the label Anarcho-Gnostic, although not in any rigid sense of the world, but it does signpost his creative and innovative worldview and one finds an echo here with the Anarcho-Synarchy of the French Cathar movement. This is another ‘action replay’ of Dick’s vision of the time-loop superimposing itself upon the libertarian impulse to be authentically human and the authoritarian impulse to imprison that humanity within matter and form by way of dialectics. Remember comrades, the Empire never ended!

Reclaim New Yorkers homes stolen by banks

During the farm crises of the early 80s the Militia group known as Posse Comitatus helped farmers to physically reclaim and secure their farms after foreclosure or eminent domain. Today in the wake of the usurious banker engineered foreclosure crisis, there are county Sheriffs who are refusing to evict  people following foreclosure procedures.  NATA-NY  stands in solidarity with all county Shreiffs refusing to evict who understand that they are beholden to the people and not the international bankers, and we will  pick up the baton were true patriots like The Posse Comitatus and Gordon Kahl left off.   

NATA-NY will be available to assist families reclaiming their homes from banks. We can provide on site assistance/security, document and educate police, and help with the move in process.  For us to help with this, NATA-NY will have to evaluate prospects on a case by case basis.  We cannot provide any legal or mortgage advice.

Anyone interested in getting involved, who is or knows someone who has or is in danger of loosing their home due to foreclosure! Please send us information about your situation and contact details at natlanarchisttribalalliance@gmail.com  and we will get back to you.


Evicted family breaks locks, reclaims home. See Video here.




SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (KABC) — A battle over a foreclosed home is shaping up in Simi Valley.

A family claims they were illegally evicted, and Saturday, they broke the locks and started moving back in even though the home has already been sold.

Jim and Danielle Earl, along with their nine children ranging in age from 3 to 23, returned to their house of nine years on Mustang Drive.

The family was evicted from their home in July after they fell behind on payments.

Their bank, GRP Financial Services, foreclosed on the home, but since then the house has been bought by an investor, remodeled and sold to someone else.

The new owners were expected to take possession of the home in a few days, but the Earls and their attorney hired a locksmith to open the doors so they could reclaim the house.

“This is a really exciting day, a day we’ve been waiting for,” said Danielle Earl. “My kids have been begging to go home and we’re finally home.

This comes at a time when some banks are halting foreclosures across the country due to flawed paperwork. The family and their attorney said the bank used fraudulent paperwork to force them out.

The Earls said they had been working with the bank to catch up on payments, but discovered a $25,000 difference between the amount they thought they owed and what the bank claimed they owed so they stopped making payments.

“This is only the beginning of this,” said the Earl’s attorney, Michael Pines. “I chose this family because we needed to get back in before the investor and the real estate broker defrauded a new family by having them move in, which would have created a bigger mess. (The Earls) have done absolutely nothing wrong.”

Police arrived at the home Saturday but did not take action to make the family leave.

What Being A “Tribal Anarchist” Means To Me



By Jason Thompson

I have had some people inquire about the term “tribal anarchist.” They often view such a term as an oxymoron. Looking at the strict individual definition of anarchy it would make sense to view it as such. Anarchy tends to follow the definition of having no authority or being without rule. When added to the tribal, which denotes a group and thus an organisation we see the apparent condradiction more clearly. However, what is often ignored is that the term can be befiting of groups. Groups of anarchists are not strange in the history of man. Anarchists congregate together often and have a group mentality of “us vs. them.” What is the bond? it is usually reduced to “do what you want to do, just don’t hurt anyone else.” Over time this philosophy obviously leads to fracturing and different groups by basic human nature.

So what is different about tribal anarchism? What does it mean? Tribal anarchism is first off, based on sovereignty of the individual. The individual chooses his tribe and values so this cannot be negated in the course of nature. The individual chooses which people to associate with usually based on common values, family, etc. each tribal group will therfore be different though possibly sharing many values and ideas. Secondly,tribal anarchism is based on the sovereignty of the group, which imo is why tribal comes before anarchist. Each group has its needs and structure, no matter how “anarchistic” the individuals claim to be. Structure is not the enemy of the anarch when the structure fits the anarchs worldview. The individual who claims no affiliation with any other human or any value system is a nihilist, not an anarchist. The major difference between tribal anarchism and regular anrchism that I see is admitting this fact, admitting that in the course of nature we group ourselves together with specific people and ideas, seek out similiar minds and work toward making those things reality.

Tribalism is simply this gathering together. As there are diverse people groups, ideas, values, religions we believe that each and every group has a right to gather together into a cohesive, sovereign whole and to have full right to decide how they shall live and be without interference from another group. This makes room for the diversity in nature and does not have the falsity of “do what you want to as long as you harm no one else”, which as mentioned, is unsustainable within the same group either ideologically or realistically. tribal anarchism throws out the bullshit utopian visions that have never been able to become relaity in the earth. Instead it relies on the will of the group to stand as sovereign and to defend its own, which again fits the laws of nature very well.

For my own part my tribe is simple. It is literally my family. They come first. We are sovereign and if I deem anything outside of that to be a hinderance to our freedoms they will be addressed as such. Second it is the people who I have relationships with close to me like friends and neighbors. Third, those who ideologically share my values, beliefs, etc no matter where they may be geographically. These beliefs have to do with blood, our common ancestors, genetic memory and goals for the future, and for the sake of my children a moral code. Their religion is not so important to me, but values like honor and integrity are.

I personally believe that we are eventually heading to a balkanisation because so many varied groups are fighting to draw from the same well. As nature takes her course people will group up according to some of the things I have addressed. Family and blood will be first and foremost and then there will be groups who mix and mingle. When this happens the natural progression to tribal anarchy will take place. Out of this there will be times of war, times of peace like under any other human endeavor. Eventually smaller groups will combine with like-minded groups and form nation states and the whole human drama can start over again.

The anarchist claims to support individual freedom. To do so they have to support the rights of indivduals to align themselves with groups. Whether they do support such things or not will not change the course of time. My family is my tribe. My blood runs through my son as my father’s blood runs through me, and in so being, my father’s blood runs through my son. His father’s blood runs through all of us. This goes back to our beginning. That beginning is contained in us and the memories of triumphs and struggles are in our DNA. They shaped our genetic traits, the way our minds work and give expression to our potential. To NOT honor such a thing and choose associations wisely in this world is to spit in the face of eternity and time which helped shape who we are. It is to rebel against yourself.

Anarchism of the Right

By Keith Preston
Originally published at AlternativeRight.com

Patrick Ford’s recent discussion of the “libertarian problem” observed how resistance to the neoconservatives had produced an unusual alliance on the Right between such divergent elements as “hedonistic anarchists and medieval Catholics.” Patrick expressed skepticism of whether the libertarian-traditionalist alliance can be a durable one, given the sharp differences to be found among the respective philosophical foundations of the two camps. Traditionalist objections to libertarianism are usually rooted in what is often described as libertarianism’s “atomistic individualism” whereby an ideologically constructed conception of “abstract liberty” is elevated over and above more concrete and immediately tangible matters of culture, history, tradition, community, family, religion, and so forth. Libertarians are accused of deifying the economy as an end unto itself, rather than as a means to the end of meeting human needs and irrespective of the impact of economic forces on non-material values.

The traditionalists will say that while libertarians may deny the innate equality of individuals, libertarians implicitly endorse an egalitarian ethos regarding human groups such as nations, cultures, religions, regions, races, and genders. Libertarian economism simply regards these things as interchangeable commodities, and no more significant than different brands of deodorant or fast food. In other words, libertarians are simply liberals who reject the welfare state, according to the traditionalist critique. For this reason, many libertarians see mass immigration from the Third World into the West as no big deal, as human cultures and ethnic populations are interchangeable, with economics and political ideology being what really matters.

This critique is a fairly accurate one, though it does not apply to all brands of libertarianism. Murray Rothbard, for instance, rejected this kind of reductionist outlook and became an outspoken critic of such tendencies among libertarians in the latter part of his life. Further, it does not follow that the baby of anti-statist politics should be thrown out with the liberal-reductionist bathwater. Over the last decade, there has been a proliferation of radically anti-statist tendencies that might be collectively described as an “anarchism of the Right.” Commonly labeled “national-anarchism,” this new anarchism draws its inspiration less from Ayn Rand or Milton Friedman and more from such divergent sources as De Benoist, Nietzsche, Junger, Evola, Schopenhauer, Belloc, and older strands of anarchism such as those advanced by Proudhon, Bakunin, Tolstoy, Stirner, and Kropotkin. Its leading current proponents are Troy Southgate, Flavio Goncalves, Hans Cany, Peter Topfer, Andrew Yeoman, Welf Herfurth, Chris Donnellan, and, at least peripherally, myself. “Anarchism of the Right” differs significantly from other ideological strands bearing the “anarchist” label. It shares the anti-statist politics and opposition to imperialist war of the Rothbardian anarcho-capitalists, yet rejects their neo-Lockean philosophical foundations in favor of a Nietzschean or Evolan “radical traditionalist” outlook. While libertarians and anarcho-capitalists tend to be economics-oriented, anarchists of the Right prefer to emphasize the particular, and champion the sovereignty, autonomy, and preservation of unique cultures, regions, ethnicities, identities, faiths, and tribes against the homogenizing and universalizing forces of the global economy, technology, and imperialism. On economic questions, these anarchists likely have more in common with the Catholic distributists, Southern Agrarians, Proudhon, the classical anarcho-syndicalists, or Kirkpatrick Sale than with the editors of Reason. Nor do the anarchists of the Right share the vigilante liberal sentiments of the “antifa” stormtroopers. Indeed, they are more likely to be the target of such unsavory elements.

Central to this new but growing form of anti-statist radicalism are the concepts of community and tribe. Towards this end, anarchists of the Right favor the development of autonomous communities existing independently of overarching state systems for the sake of maintaining the identity and ideals of the tribe, and therefore look askance at mass immigration, preferring instead community self-determination with full rights of exclusion. Matters of ethnicity and race are certainly essential to this outlook, though not exclusively so or in a reductionist way. For instance, a “tribe” can be a group of persons committed to a particular way of life, set of cultural norms or political ideals. The “tribe” can therefore be a community of ascetic religious sectarians, radical ecologists committed to the non-use of industrial technology, hippie communalists, homosexuals, neo-pagans, radical survivalists, racial separatists, or drug users. The Alternative Right is a genuinely diverse milieu of beliefs and ideas. This is in sharp contrast to official “diversity” with its emphasis on a diversity of skin colors, genitalia, and sexual habits, but complete uniformity of thought. Perhaps one of the most common characteristics we share is our pariah status in the eyes of the liberal ruling class. The therapeutic-multiculturalist-welfare states that currently rule our Western societies are clearly our enemy. An anarchism of the Right may prove to be an essential part of the intellectual arsenal against our enemy, the state.

Ernst Jünger: Portrait of an Anarch

Originally published in Alternative Right Magazine

Perhaps the most interesting, and definitely the most threatening type of writer, is the one who not only defies conventional categorizations of thought but also offers a deeply penetrating critique of those illusions many hold to be the most sacred. Ernst Jünger (1895-1998), who first came to literary prominence during Germany’s Weimar era as a diarist of the experiences of a front line stormtrooper during the Great War, is one such writer. Both the controversial nature of his writing and its staying power are demonstrated by the fact that he remains one of the most important yet widely disliked literary and cultural figures of 20th-century Germany.

As recently as 1993, when Jünger was 98 years of age, he was the subject of an intensely hostile exchange in the New York Review of Books between an admirer and a detractor of his work. On the occasion of his one-hundredth birthday in 1995, Jünger was the subject of a scathing, derisive musical performed in the former East Berlin. Yet Jünger was also the recipient of Germany’s most prestigious literary awards, the Goethe Prize and the Schiller Memorial Prize. Jünger, who converted to Catholicism at the age of 101, received a commendation from Pope John Paul II and was an honored guest of French President Francois Mitterrand and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl at the Franco-German reconciliation ceremony at Verdun in 1984.

Ernst Jünger was born on March 29, 1895. His father was an academically trained chemist who became wealthy as the owner of a pharmaceutical manufacturing business, finding himself successful enough to retire while still in his forties. Jünger’s parents’ politics seem to have been liberal, though not radical, in the manner not uncommon to the rising bourgeoisie of Germany’s upper middle class during the pre-war period. It was in this affluent, secure bourgeois environment that Jünger grew up. Indeed, many of Jünger’s later activities and professed beliefs are easily understood as a revolt against the comfort and safety of his upbringing.

It was while attending a boarding school in 1913, at the age of 17, that Jünger first demonstrated his propensity for what might be called an “adventurist” way of life. With only six months left before graduation, Jünger left school, leaving no word to his family as to his destination. Using money given to him for school-related fees and expenses to buy a firearm and a railroad ticket to Verdun, Jünger subsequently enlisted in the French Foreign Legion. Jünger had no intention of staying with the Legion. He only wanted to be posted to Africa, as he eventually was. Jünger then deserted, only to be captured and sentenced to jail. Eventually his father found a capable lawyer for his wayward son and secured his release. Jünger then returned to his studies and underwent a belated high school graduation.
Warrior and War Diarist

Jünger immediately volunteered for military service when he heard the news that Germany was at war in the summer of 1914. He was afraid the war would end before he had the opportunity to see any action. This attitude was not uncommon among many recruits or conscripts who fought in the war for their respective states. Because of his high school education, Jünger was selected to train to become an officer. Shortly before beginning his officer’s training, Jünger was exposed to combat for the first time. From the start, he carried pocket-sized notebooks with him and recorded his observations on the front lines. His writings while at the front exhibit a distinctive tone of detachment, as though he were an observer watching the scene unfold. In the middle part of 1915, Jünger suffered his first war wound, a bullet graze to the thigh that required only two weeks of recovery time. Afterwards, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant.

At age 21, Jünger was the leader of a reconnaissance team at the Somme whose purpose was to go out at night and search for British landmines. Early on, he acquired the reputation of a brave soldier who lacked the preoccupation with his own safety common to most of the fighting men. The introduction of steel artifacts into the war, tanks for the British side and steel helmets for the Germans, made a deep impression on Jünger. Wounded three times at the Somme, Jünger was awarded the Iron Medal First Class. Upon recovery, he returned to the front lines. A combat daredevil, he once held out against a much larger British force with only twenty men. After being transferred to fight the French at Flanders, he lost ten of his fourteen men and was wounded in the left hand by a blast from French shelling. After being harshly criticized by a superior officer for the number of men lost on that particular mission, Jünger began to develop a contempt for the military hierarchy whom he regarded as having achieved their status as a result of their class position, frequently lacking combat experience of their own. In late 1917, having already experienced nearly three full years of combat, Jünger was wounded for the fifth time during a surprise assault by the British. He was grazed in the head by a bullet, acquiring two holes in his helmet in the process. In March 1918, Jünger participated in another fierce battle with the British, losing 87 of his 150 men.

Nothing impressed Jünger more than personal bravery and endurance on the part of soldiers. He once “fell to the ground in tears” at the sight of a young recruit who had only days earlier been unable to carry an ammunition case by himself suddenly being able to carry two cases of missiles after surviving an attack of British shells. A recurring theme in Jünger’s writings on his war experiences is the way in which war brings out the most savage human impulses. Essentially, human beings are given full license to engage in behavior that would be considered criminal during peacetime. He wrote casually about burning occupied towns during the course of retreat or a shift of position. However, Jünger also demonstrated a capacity for merciful behavior during his combat efforts. He refrained from shooting a cornered British soldier after the foe displayed a portrait of his family to Jünger. He was wounded yet again in August of 1918. Having been shot in the chest and directly through a lung, this was his most serious wound yet. After being hit, he still managed to shoot dead yet another British officer. As Jünger was being carried off the battlefield on a stretcher, a British bullet killed one of the stretcher carriers. Another German soldier attempted to carry Jünger on his back, but the soldier was shot dead himself and Jünger fell to the ground. Finally, a medic recovered him and pulled him out of harm’s way. This episode would be the end of his battle experiences during the Great War.

 
In Storms of Steel

Jünger’s keeping of his wartime diaries paid off quite well in the long run. They were to become the basis of his first and most famous book, In Storms of Steel, published in 1920. In Storms of Steel differs considerably from similar works published by war veterans during the same era, such as Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front and John Dos Passos’ Three Soldiers. Jünger’s book reflects none of the disillusionment with war by those experienced in its horrors of the kind found in these other works. Instead, Jünger depicted warfare as an adventure in which the soldier faced the highest possible challenge, a battle to the death with a mortal enemy. Though Jünger certainly considered himself to be a patriot and, under the influence of Maurice Barres, eventually became a strident German nationalist, his depiction of military combat as an idyllic setting where human wills face the supreme test rose far above ordinary nationalist sentiments. Jünger’s warrior ideal was not merely the patriot fighting out of a profound sense of loyalty to his country nor the stereotype of the dutiful soldier whose sense of honor and obedience compels him to follow the orders of his superiors in a headlong march towards death. Nor was the warrior prototype exalted by Jünger necessarily an idealist fighting for some alleged greater good such as a political ideal or religious devotion. Instead, war itself is the ideal for Jünger. On this question, he was profoundly influenced by Nietzsche, whose dictum “a good war justifies any cause,” provides an apt characterization of Jünger’s depiction of the life (and death) of the combat soldier.

Indeed, Jünger goes so far as to say there were winners and losers on both sides of the war. The true winners were not those who fought in a particular army or for a particular country, but who rose to the challenge placed before them and essentially achieved what Jünger regarded as a higher state of enlightenment. He believed the war had revealed certain fundamental truths about the human condition. First, the illusions of the old bourgeois order concerning peace, progress and prosperity had been inalterably shattered. This was not an uncommon sentiment during that time, but it is a revelation that Jünger seems to revel in while others found it to be overwhelmingly devastating. Indeed, the lifelong champion of Enlightenment liberalism, Bertrand Russell, whose life was almost as long as Jünger’s and who observed many of the same events from a much different philosophical perspective, once remarked that no one who had been born before 1914 knew what it was like to be truly happy.

A second observation advanced by Jünger had to do with the role of technology in transforming the nature of war, not only in a purely mechanical sense, but also on a much greater existential level. Before, man had commanded weaponry in the course of combat. Now weaponry of the kind made possible by modern technology and industrial civilization essentially commanded man. The machines did the fighting. Man simply resisted this external domination. Lastly, the supremacy of might and the ruthless nature of human existence had been demonstrated.

 
Conservative Revolutionary

Jünger’s writings about the war quickly earned him the status of a celebrity during the Weimar period. Jünger was at his parents’ home recovering from war wounds during the time of the attempted coup by the leftist workers’ and soldiers’ councils and subsequent suppression of these by the Freikorps. He experimented with psychoactive drugs such as cocaine and opium during this time, something that he would continue to do much later in life. Upon recovery, he went back into active duty in the much-diminished Germany army. Jünger’s earliest works, such as In Storms of Steel, were published during this time and he also wrote for military journals on the more technical and specialized aspects of combat and military technology. Interestingly, Jünger attributed Germany’s defeat in the war simply to poor leadership, both military and civilian, and rejected the “stab in the back” legend that consoled less keen veterans.

After leaving the army in 1923, Jünger began to study the philosophy of Oswald Spengler. His first work as a philosopher of nationalism appeared in the Nazi paper Völkischer Beobachter in September of 1923. Critiquing the failed Marxist revolution of 1918, Jünger argued that the leftist coup failed because of its lack of fresh ideas. It was simply a regurgitation of the egalitarian outlook of the French Revolution. The revolutionary left appealed only to the material wants of the Germany people in Jünger’s views. A successful revolution would have to be much more than that. It would have to appeal to their spiritual or “folkish” instincts as well.

Over the next few years Jünger studied the natural sciences at the University of Leipzig and in 1925, at age 30, he married 19-year-old Gretha von Jeinsen. Around this time, he also became a full-time political writer. Jünger was hostile to Weimar democracy and its commercial bourgeois society. His emerging political ideal was one of an elite warrior caste that stood above petty partisan politics and the middle class obsession with material acquisition. Jünger became involved with the Stahlhelm, a right-wing veterans group, and was a contributor to its paper, Die Standardite. He associated himself with the younger, more militant members of the organization who favored an uncompromised nationalist revolution and eschewed the parliamentary system. Jünger’s weekly column in Die Standardite disseminated his nationalist ideology to his less educated readers.

In an essay for Die Standardite titled “The Machine,” Jünger argued that the principal struggle was not between social classes or political parties but between man and technology. He was not anti-technological in a Luddite sense, but regarded the technological apparatus of modernity to have achieved a position of superiority over mankind, which needed to be reversed. He was concerned that the mechanized efficiency of modern life produced a corrosive effect on the human spirit. Jünger considered the Nazis’ glorification of peasant life to be antiquated. Instead, Jünger espoused a “metropolitan nationalism” centered on the urban working class. Nationalism was the antidote to the anti-particularistic materialism of the Marxists who, in Jünger’s views, simply mirrored the liberals in their efforts to reduce the individual to a component of a mechanized mass society. The humanitarian rhetoric of the left Jünger dismissed as the hypocritical cant of power-seekers feigning benevolence. He began to pin his hopes for a nationalist revolution on the younger veterans who comprised much of the urban working class.

In 1926, Jünger became editor of Arminius, which also featured the writings of Nazi leaders like Alfred Rosenberg and Joseph Goebbels. In 1927, he contributed his final article to the Nazi paper, calling for a new definition of the “worker”, one not rooted in Marxist ideology but the idea of the worker as a civilian counterpart to the soldier who struggles fervently for the nationalist ideal. Jünger and Hitler had exchanged copies of their respective writings and a scheduled meeting between the two was canceled due to a change in Hitler’s itinerary. Jünger respected Hitler’s abilities as an orator, but came to feel he lacked the ability to become a true leader. He also found Nazi ideology to be intellectually shallow, many of the Nazi movement’s leaders to be talentless and was displeased by the vulgarity, crassly opportunistic and overly theatrical aspects of Nazi public rallies. Always an elitist, Jünger considered the Nazis’ pandering the common people to be debased. As he became more skeptical of the Nazis, Jünger began writing for a wider circle of readers beyond that of the militant nationalist right-wing. His works began to appear in the Jewish liberal Leopold Schwarzchild’s Das Tagebuch and the “national-Bolshevik” Ernst Niekisch’s Widerstand.

Jünger began to assemble around himself an elite corps of bohemian, eccentric intellectuals who would meet regularly on Friday evenings. This group included some of the most interesting personalities of the Weimar period. Among them were the Freikorps veteran Ernst von Salomon, Otto von Strasser, who with his brother Gregor led a leftist anti-Hitler faction of the Nazi movement, the national-Bolshevik Niekisch, the Jewish anarchist Erich Muhsam who had figured prominently in the early phase of the failed leftist revolution of 1918, the American writer Thomas Wolfe and the expressionist writer Arnolt Bronnen. Occasionally, Joseph Goebbels would turn up at these meetings hoping to convert the group, particularly Jünger himself, whose war writings he had admired, to the Nazi cause. These efforts by the Nazi propaganda master proved unsuccessful. Jünger regarded Goebbels as a shallow ideologue who spoke in platitudes even in private conversation.

The final break between Ernst Jünger and the NSDAP occurred in September 1929. Jünger published an article in Schwarzchild’s Tagebuch attacking and ridiculing the Nazis as sellouts for having reinvented themselves as a parliamentary party. He also dismissed their racism and anti-Semitism as ridiculous, stating that according to the Nazis, a nationalist is simply someone who “eats three Jews for breakfast.” He condemned the Nazis for pandering to the liberal middle class and reactionary traditional conservatives “with lengthy tirades against the decline in morals, against abortion, strikes, lockouts, and the reduction of police and military forces.” Goebbels responded by attacking Jünger in the Nazi press, accusing him being motivated by personal literary ambition, and insisting this had caused him “to vilify the national socialist movement, probably so as to make himself popular in his new kosher surroundings” and dismissing Jünger’s attacks by proclaiming the Nazis did not “debate with renegades who abuse us in the smutty press of Jewish traitors.”
Jünger on the Jewish Question

Jünger held complicated views on the question of German Jews. He considered anti-Semitism of the type espoused by Hitler to be crude and reactionary. Yet his own version of nationalism required a level of homogeneity that was difficult to reconcile with the subnational status of Germany Jewry. Jünger suggested that Jews should assimilate and pledge their loyalty to Germany once and for all. Yet he expressed admiration for Orthodox Judaism and indifference to Zionism. Jünger maintained personal friendships with Jews and wrote for a Jewish owned publication. During this time, his Jewish publisher Schwarzchild published an article examining Jünger’s views on the Jews of Germany. Schwarzchild insisted that Jünger was nothing like his Nazi rivals on the far right. Jünger’s nationalism was based on an aristocratic warrior ethos, while Hitler’s was more comparable to the criminal underworld. Hitler’s men were “plebian alley scum.” However, Schwarzchild also characterized Jünger’s rendition of nationalism as motivated by little more than a fervent rejection of bourgeois society and lacking in attention to political realities and serious economic questions.
The Worker

Other than In Storms of Steel, Jünger’s The Worker: Mastery and Form was his most influential work from the Weimar era. In The Worker, Jünger outlines his vision of a future state ordered as a technocracy based on workers and soldiers led by a warrior elite. Workers are no longer simply components of an industrial machine, whether capitalist or communist, but have become a kind of civilian-soldier operating as an economic warrior. Just as the soldier glories in his accomplishments in battle, so does the worker glory in the achievements expressed through his work. Jünger predicted that continued technological advancements would render the worker/capitalist dichotomy obsolete. He also incorporated the political philosophy of his friend Carl Schmitt into his worldview. As Schmitt saw international relations as a Hobbesian battle between rival powers, Jünger believed each state would eventually adopt a system not unlike what he described in The Worker. Each state would maintain its own technocratic order with the workers and soldiers of each country playing essentially the same role on behalf of their respective nations. International affairs would be a crucible where the will to power of the different nations would be tested.
Among the Nazis

By the time Hitler took power in 1933, Jünger’s war writings had become commonly used in high schools and universities as examples of wartime literature, and Jünger enjoyed success within the context of German popular culture as well. Excerpts of Jünger’s works were featured in military journals. The Nazis tried to co-opt his semi-celebrity status, but he was uncooperative. Jünger was appointed to the Nazified German Academy of Poetry, but declined the position. When the Nazi Party’s paper published some of his work in 1934, Jünger wrote a letter of protest. The Nazi regime, despite its best efforts to capitalize on his reputation, viewed Jünger with suspicion. His past association with Niekisch, Muhsam and Strasser, all of whom were either eventually killed or exiled by the Third Reich, led the Nazis to regard Jünger as a potential subversive. On several occasions, Jünger received visits from the Gestapo in search of some of his former friends.

Jünger’s most significant work from the Nazi period is the novel On the Marble Cliffs. The book is an allegorical attack on the Hitler regime. It was written in 1939, the same year that Jünger reentered the German army. The book describes a mysterious villain that threatens a community, a sinister warlord called the “Head Ranger.” This character is never featured in the plot of the novel, but maintains a foreboding presence that is universal (much like “Big Brother” in George Orwell’s1984). Another character in the novel, “Braquemart,” is described as having physical characteristics remarkably similar to those of Goebbels. The book sold 14,000 copies during its first two weeks in publication. Swiss reviewers immediately recognized the allegorical references to the Nazi state in the novel. The Nazi Party’s organ, the Völkische Beobachter, stated that Ernst Jünger was flirting with a bullet to the head. Goebbels urged Hitler to ban the book, but Hitler refused, probably not wanting to show his hand. Indeed, Hitler gave orders that Jünger not be harmed.

Jünger was stationed in France for most of the Second World War. He received yet another medal, the Iron Cross, for retrieving the body of a dead corporal while under heavy fire. Jünger also published some of his war diaries during this time. However, the German government took a dim view of these, viewing them as too sympathetic to the occupied French. Jünger’s duties included censorship of the mail coming into France from German civilians. He took a rather liberal approach to this responsibility and simply disposed of incriminating documents rather than turning them over for investigation. In doing so, he probably saved lives. As rumors of the Nazi extermination programs began to spread, Jünger wrote in his diary that the mechanization of the human spirit of the type he had written about in the past had apparently generated a higher level of human depravity. When he saw three young French-Jewish girls wearing the yellow stars required by the Nazis, he wrote that he felt embarrassed to be in the Nazis’ army. In July of 1942, Jünger observed the mass arrest of French Jews, the beginning of implementation of the “Final Solution.” He described the scene as follows:
Parents were first separated from their children, so there was wailing to be heard in the streets. At no moment may I forget that I am surrounded by the unfortunate, by those suffering to the very depths, else what sort of person, what sort of officer would I be? The uniform obliges one to grant protection wherever it goes. Of course one has the impression that one must also, like Don Quixote, take on millions.

An entry into Jünger’s diary from October 16, 1943 suggests that an unnamed army officer had told Jünger about the use of crematoria and poison gas to murder Jews en masse. Rumors of plots against Hitler circulated among the officers with whom Jünger maintained contact. His son, Ernst, was arrested after an informant claimed he had spoken critically of Hitler. Ernstl was imprisoned for three months, then placed in a penal battalion where he was killed in action in Italy. On July 20, 1944 an unsuccessful assassination attempt was carried out against Hitler. It is still disputed as to whether or not Jünger knew of the plot or had a role in its planning. Among those arrested for their role in the attempt on Hitler’s life were members of Jünger’s immediate circle of associates and superior officers within the German army. Jünger was dishonorably discharged shortly afterward.

Following the close of the Second World War, Jünger came under suspicion from the Allied occupational authorities because of his far right-wing nationalist and militarist past. He refused to cooperate with the Allies De-Nazification programs and was barred from publishing for four years. He would go on to live another half century, producing many more literary works, becoming a close friend of Albert Hoffman, the inventor of the hallucinogen LSD, with which he experimented. In a 1977 novel, Eumeswil, he took his tendency towards viewing the world around him with detachment to a newer, more clearly articulated level with his invention of the concept of the “Anarch.” This idea, heavily influenced by the writings of the early nineteenth century German philosopher Max Stirner, championed the solitary individual who remains true to himself within the context of whatever external circumstances happen to be present. Some sample quotations from this work illustrate the philosophy and worldview of the elderly Jünger quite well:
For the anarch, if he remains free of being ruled, whether by sovereign or society, this does not mean he refuses to serve in any way. In general, he serves no worse than anyone else, and sometimes even better, if he likes the game. He only holds back from the pledge, the sacrifice, the ultimate devotion … I serve in the Casbah; if, while doing this, I die for the Condor, it would be an accident, perhaps even an obliging gesture, but nothing more.

The egalitarian mania of demagogues is even more dangerous than the brutality of men in gallooned coats. For the anarch, this remains theoretical, because he avoids both sides. Anyone who has been oppressed can get back on his feet if the oppression did not cost him his life. A man who has been equalized is physically and morally ruined. Anyone who is different is not equal; that is one of the reasons why the Jews are so often targeted.

The anarch, recognizing no government, but not indulging in paradisal dreams as the anarchist does, is, for that very reason, a neutral observer.

Opposition is collaboration.

A basic theme for the anarch is how man, left to his own devices, can defy superior force – whether state, society or the elements – by making use of their rules without submitting to them. …

… malcontents… prowl through the institutions eternally dissatisfied, always disappointed. Connected with this is their love of cellars and rooftops, exile and prisons, and also banishment, on which they actually pride themselves. When the structure finally caves in they are the first to be killed in the collapse. Why do they not know that the world remains inalterable in change? Because they never find their way down to its real depth, their own. That is the sole place of essence, safety. And so they do themselves in. …

The anarch may not be spared prisons – as one fluke of existence among others. He will then find the fault in himself. …

We are touching one a … distinction between anarch and anarchist; the relation to authority, to legislative power. The anarchist is their mortal enemy, while the anarch refuses to acknowledge them. He seeks neither to gain hold of them, nor to topple them, nor to alter them – their impact bypasses him. He must resign himself only to the whirlwinds they generate. …

The anarch is no individualist, either. He wishes to present himself neither as a Great Man nor as a Free Spirit. His own measure is enough for him; freedom is not his goal; it is his property. He does not come on as foe or reformer: one can get along nicely with him in shacks or in palaces. Life is too short and too beautiful to sacrifice for ideas, although contamination is not always avoidable. But hats off to the martyrs. …

We can expect as little from society as from the state. Salvation lies in the individual. …
