George Orwell, "Politics and the English Language," 1946

George Orwell, "Politics and the English Language," 1946 Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our civilization is decadent and our language -- so the argument runs -- must inevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is a sentimental archaism, like preferring candles to electric light or hansom cabs to aeroplanes. Underneath this lies the half-conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which we shape for our own purposes. Now, it is clear that ...

Julius Evola on Race
Post Date: 2010-05-31 17:00:26 by Turtle
9 Comments
Growing interest in English speaking countries for the Italian philosopher Julius Evola may be a sign of the revival of the awesome cultural legacy of the Western civilization (see here and here). This legacy is awkwardly termed the “traditional –revolutionary – elitist – anti-egalitarian – postmodern thought.” But why not simply call it classical thought? The advantage of Evola, in contrast to many modern scholars of the same calibre, may be his staggering erudition that goes well beyond the narrow study of race. Evola was just as much at ease writing thick volumes about religion, language and sexuality as writing about legal issues related to international ...
Archaeologists Unearth 7,000-Year-Old Swastika in North-western Bulgaria

A pottery fragment with the image of a swastika, dating to 7,000 years ago, and an ancient female adornment with a phallus are among the artefacts shown for the first time as part of the on-going exhibition “Gods, Symbols and Ancient Signs” in the museum in Vratsa in north-western Bulgaria. The swastika-decorated clay pottery fragment was found by archaeologists during excavations of a ritual pit around the village of Altimir near the town of Vratsa. The find dates back to the beginning of the Stone-Copper Age and shows that this symbol traverses the centuries and cannot be linked solely to Hitler’s party, archaeologists explained. The swastika as a symbol dates to the ...

Sydney Schanberg won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on the war in Indochina. Yet his explosive 2008 essay 'McCain and the POW Cover-Up' was stonewalled by the mainstream media. Here we present Schanberg's account of his struggle to bring the story of Vietnam's forgotten veterans to the public's — and press's — attention. From the beginning, nearly 40 years ago, the evidence was in plain sight. For reasons unexplained, however, the mainstream press did not acknowledge it and has continued to ignore it to this day. I’m referring to the evidence that North Vietnam—after the peace treaty had been signed on Jan. 27, 1973 in Paris—held back ...

May 6, 2010 —Rudolf “Rudy” Opitz passed away at his home in Connecticut last week at the age of 99. Born in Germany in 1910, Opitz learned to fly gliders as a teenager, and by the mid-1930s was working as a glider instructor at the Wasserkuppe flying school. After the outbreak of World War II, Opitz was drafted into the Luftwaffe as a glider instructor. He was later assigned as a test pilot to Alexander Lippisch and began working as a test pilot on Lippisch’s tail-less glider designs. In 1941 he was assigned to Project X, the Luftwaffe’s top secret program to develop the Messerschmitt Me-163 Komet, the world’s first rocket interceptor. As Chief Military Test ...

The Nonviolent Coming of God, 1991), founding a Catholic Worker House of Hospitality in Birmingham, and importuning John Paul II to encamp in Baghdad to prevent the 1991 Bush I attack. Why would he then spend a decade or more holed up, writing a book on Kennedy’s presidency and assassination? “JFK ...

James Angleton and Ezra Pound Carolina Hartley April 29, 2010 For it is not the wolf or any of the other beasts that would join the contest in any noble danger, but rather a good man. — Aristotle, Politics, Book IIX. Before James Angleton became an institution at the CIA as czar of the counterintelligence staff from 1954 to 1975, he was friends with the poet Ezra Pound. Both men sacrificed themselves in an attempt to save their country from plutocrats. Pound did this by speaking his mind, while Angleton sold his conscience for “the greater good.” Angleton first met Pound in Rapallo, Italy in 1938. Ezra was often visited by famous or aspiring artists. Then a young man, ...

Today is a national holiday in Brazil. It is Tiradentes Day, named for the man who is largely responsible for the revolt against Portuguese rule of Brazil. He never lived to see his dream of freedom for Brazil but his life and his death paved the way for it. What follows is from the wikipedia article. Joaquim José da Silva Xavier, known as Tiradentes (August 16, 1746–-April 21, 1792), was a leading member of the Brazilian revolutionary movement known as the Inconfidência Mineira whose aim was full independence from the Portuguese colonial power and to create a Brazilian republic. When the plan was discovered, Tiradentes was arrested, tried and publicly hanged. Since the ...

Douglas Horne, who served as the Senior Analyst for Military Affairs of the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB), has now published Inside the ARRB (2009), a five-volume study of the efforts of the board to declassify documents and records held by the CIA, the FBI, the Secret Service, and other government organizations related to the assassination of JFK. As a former government official, historian, and author, he is speaking out to disabuse the public of any lingering belief that The Warren Report (1964), The HSCA Final Report (1979), Gerald Posner’s Case Closed (1963), or Vincent Bugliosi’s Reclaiming History (2007) represent the truth about what is known about the ...

Ethnic Conflict in German Physics Dan Michaels March 31, 2010 After the Napoleonic Wars the Jews began for the first time to enjoy the benefits of full citizenship in the countries of Europe. By virtue of their innate talents, pent-up energy, drive, and ambition, they quickly climbed the social ladder, becoming especially prominent in the first instance in commercial pursuits and later in financial, professional, cultural, and scientific circles. Generally, the leaders in the countries in which they lived, recognizing the talents of the new comers, quickly embraced and employed them as tax collectors, bankers, and investment advisors in order to protect and increase their own wealth and ...

These are excerpts from the Texas Declaration of Independence. They may seem oddly familiar to us today. “When a government has ceased to protect the lives, liberty and property of the people, from whom its legitimate powers are derived, and for the advancement of whose happiness it was instituted, and so far from being a guarantee for the enjoyment of those inestimable and inalienable rights, becomes an instrument in the hands of evil rulers for their oppression.” “When the Federal Republican Constitution of their country, which they have sworn to support, no longer has a substantial existence, and the whole nature of their government has been forcibly changed, without ...

Poster Comment:Turn it up. To mourn the genuine Holocaust of destruction, the fire-bombing of the historic non-combatant city of Dresden, where many thousands of civilian Germans -- mostly women, children, and the wounded -- were incinerated in a sudden and strategically unnecessary allied firebombing orgy near the close of the war.

"Racist" -- A Word Invented by USSR's Leon Trotsky

The word "racist" has for a long time been the single most effective fear-word in the leftist and neoconservative arsenal. For decades, they have successfully used it in the political arena to slander traditionalists, shut down debate, and leave opponents running for cover. In the social arena, they have caused even more damage by using it to brainwash impressionable children and young college students, and to teach people to hate their nation, their cultural traditions, and worst of all, themselves. What surprisingly remains almost totally undiscussed, even on the hard core traditionalist Right, is the word's origin. Did it come from a liberal sociologist? A 60's Marxist ...

Last year workmen for the 2012 Olympics sailing venue in southern England came upon a grisly discovery. Fifty-one men had been severely injured, most of them beheaded, and tossed into a mass grave. The burial site was discovered during the construction of the Weymouth Relief Road, meant to ease traffic congestion on the highway to Weymouth. Weymouth Bay is found on England's southern coast and will host the Olympic sailing events during the 2012 London Olympics. Who Were these Executed Men? Radiocarbon dating has shown the executed men to have lived between 890 and 1030 C.E., which was just before the Norman conquest of Anglo-Saxon England. England was split at this time with ...

Those hoping to have a 50-year secrecy order overturned believe the government is embarrassed by details within that may prove German and Vatican officials colluded in his escape and freedom. The secrecy order is being challenged in a benchmark court case against the BND, Germany's domestic intelligence service, which wants the 4,500 pages of documents on Adolf Eichmann to remain out of the public domain. The service claims that intelligence agencies in other countries will be "frightened off" in future data-sharing if they are disclosed. Critics believe this is a smokescreen designed to avoid official embarrassment both in Berlin and the Vatican. It is well documented that ...

The Course of Empire The Course of Empire is a five-part series of paintings created by Thomas Cole in the years 1833-36. It is notable in part for reflecting popular American sentiments of the times, when many saw pastoralism as the ideal phase of human civilization, fearing that empire would lead to gluttony and inevitable decay. The paintings are now housed at the New-York Historical Society, and comprise the following works: The Course of Empire - The Savage State; The Course of Empire - The Arcadian or Pastoral State; The Course of Empire - The Consummation; The Course of Empire - Destruction; and The Course of Empire - Desolation. The series of paintings depicts the growth and ...
