Might Is Right Might is Right Ragnar Redbeard Published by Libertine Press, Australia, 2008. © Libertine Press. All rights reserved. http://www.libertinepress.net [email protected] This ebook is based on the 1927 edition, originally published by Dil Pickle Press, Chicago. Some minor editorial changes have been made to correct obvious misprints but many of the inconsistencies in spelling, grammar and punctuation have been left unchanged. CONTENTS Book 1. CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTORY ..................................................................................- 4 - The living forces of Evil are to be found in the Moral Ideals of to-day. CHAPTER II: ICONOCLASTIC .................................................................................- 14 - Christian Ethics impeached. Jesus, the true Prince of Evil — the Mephistopheles of the world — the King of the Slaves. CHAPTER III: THE SPINNING-OF-THE-WEB!.......................................................- 30 - The spinning of the web. The Ship of State, a pirate ship. ‘All men are created equal,’ is the strident doctrine of the maniac. CHAPTER IV: MAN — THE CARNIVORE! ............................................................- 57 - Man the Carnivore. The Ideal Animal, a destructive warrior — not a crucified carpenter. “Moral Principles” are slave-regulations. CHAPTER V: THE CHIEF END OF MANHOOD.....................................................- 81 - The chief end of manhood — material success. Self preservation, the First Law of Nature. Hell takes the Defeated Ones — the Failures. CHAPTER VI: LOVE, AND WOMEN, AND WAR. ...............................................- 110 - Love and Women and War. Female animals love the best fighting males. Sexual selection and the necessity of unmerciful conflict. CHAPTER VI: THE LOGIC OF TO-DAY................................................................- 135 - OPPORTUNITIES A man’s opportunities are never exhausted so long as other men (who are not his friends) possess millions of acres and thousands of tons of gold. The guarded treasure halls and iron-clad temples of modern kings and presidents, high priests and millionaires, are positively the richest the world has ever known. Bulging are they with the vast hoards of silver and diamonds and gold. Here, then, is opportunity on a colossal scale. Here is the goal of the Cæsars, Nebuchadnezzars and Napoleons in the days that are coming. All is ready and prepared for them, even as in olden times. Cæsar carried off the treasures of Egypt, Greece, Gaul and Rome. Napoleon looted the money vaults of Venice, Vienna, Madrid, Berlin and Moscow. London only escaped him. Nebuchadnezzar plundered the Temple of Zion, where the Jews kept all their deposits and drank his beer and wine out of Jehovah’s pots of gold. Napoleon, Cæsar, Nebuchadnezzar! They were three great men, were they not? And in this their greatness consisted — they seized their opportunities. - 1 - ALL ELSE IS ERROR The natural world is a world of war; the natural man is a warrior; the natural law is tooth and claw. All else is error. A condition of combat everywhere exists. We are born into a perpetual conflict. It is our inheritance even as it was the heritage of previous generations. This “condition of combat” may be disguised with the holy phrases of St. Francis, or the soft deceitful doctrines of a Kropotkin or Tolstoi, but it cannot be eventually evaded by any human being or any tribe of human beings. It is there and it stays there , and each man (whether he will or not) has to reckon with it. It rules all things; it governs all things; it reigns over all things and it decides all who imagine policemanized populations, internationally regulated tranquility, and State organized industrialism so joyful, blessed and divine. THE VICTOR GETS THE GOLD Virtue is rewarded in this world, remember. Natural law makes no false judgments. Its decisions are true and just, even when dreadful. The victor gets the gold and the land every time. He also gets the fairest maidens, the glory tributes. And — why should it be otherwise? Why should the delights of life go to failures and cowards? Why should the spoils of battle belong to the unwarlike? That would be insanity, utterly unnatural and immoral. - 2 - Behold the crucifix, what does it symbolize? Pallid incompetence hanging on a tree. Lo, I hear the fighters coming Over hill and dale and plain. With the battle cry of ages In a Rebel world again. Who’d forge their swords to plow-shares, Shall sweat in bitter yokes, The free-born race and fearless Must deal out battle strokes. In the wars of the Great Cæsar, and Grim Hannibal, in the times of Belzchazzar, the Pharaohs and all; the days of Rienzi and Roland the Bold; all banners are waving for WOMEN and GOLD . It is might against might, remember, by land and sea, man against man, money against money, brains against brains, and — everything to the winner. - 3 - CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTORY In this arid wilderness of steel and stone I raise up my voice that you may hear. To the East and to the West I beckon. To the North and to the South I show a sign — Proclaiming “Death to the weakling, wealth to the strong.” Open your eyes that you may hear, O! men of mildewed minds and listen to me, ye laborious millions! For I stand forth to challenge the wisdom of the world; to interrogate the “laws” of man and of “God.” I request reasons for your Golden Rule and ask the why and wherefore of your Ten Commands. Before none of your printed idols do I bend in acquiescence and he who saith “thou shalt” to me is my mortal foe. I demand proof over all things, and accept (with reservations) even that which is true. I dip my forefinger in the watery blood of your impotent mad-redeemer (your Divine Democrat — your Hebrew Madman) and write over his thorn-torn brow, “The true prince of Evil — the king of the Slaves!” No hoary falsehood shall be a truth to me — no cult or dogma shall encramp my pen. I break away from all conventions. Alone, untrammeled. I raise up in stern invasion the standard of Strong. I gaze into the glassy eye of your fearsome Jehovah, and pluck him by the beard — I uplift a broad-axe and split open his worm-eaten skull. I blast out the ghastly contents of philosophic whited sepulchres and laugh with sardonic wrath. Then reaching up the festering and varnished facades of your haughtiest moral dogmas, I write thereon in letters of blazing scorn: — “Lo and behold, all this is fraud!” - 4 - I deny all things! I question all things! And yet! And yet! — — Gather around me O! ye death-defiant, and the earth itself shall be thine, to have and to hold. What is your “civilization and progress” if its only outcome is hysteria and downgoing? What is “government and law” if their ripened harvests are men without sap? What are “religions and literatures” if their grandest productions are hordes of faithful slaves? What is “evolution and culture” if their noxious blossoms are sterilized women? What is “education and enlightenment” if their dead-sea-fruit is a caitiff race, with rottenness in its bones? 2 How is it that “men of light and leading” hardly ever call in question the manufactured “moral codes,” under which our once vigorous Northern race is slowly and surely eating out its heart in peaceful inaction and laborious dry-rot? Standard “moral principles” are arbitrarily assumed by their orthodox apologist to be a fixed and unalterable quantity, and that to doubt the divine-rightness of these “principles” is treason and sacrilege. When the greatest thinkers of a race are incapable, or afraid to perform their manifest and logical function, it is scarcely to be wondered that average citizens are also somewhat unwilling to “risk life, fortune and sacred honor” for the overthrow of popularized “right and wrong” concepts, that they know from bitter personal experience, are unworkable falsities. Although the average man feels in his heart that nearly all political and religious conventionalisms are dynamic deceits, yet how cautiously he avoids any open display of antagonism thereto? He has not the courage of his opinions. He is afraid to say openly what he thinks secretly. In other words he is living in a state of subjectiveness; of vassalage. He allows his brain to be dominated and held in bondage by the brain of another. From his infancy he has been deliberately subjected to a continuous external pressure, especially designed to coerce his understanding into strict accord with pre-arranged views of moral, political or religious “duty.” He has not been permitted one moment of real mental liberty. He imbibed fraudulent conventionalisms with his mother’s milk. He listens to the most hideous lies being glorified in his presence as sublime truths. He hears falsehoods sung in swelling chorus. He hears them sounded on bugles of silver and brass. He hears them intoned by - 5 - congregations of the faithful amid peals of sacred music, and the solemn roll of chanted prayer. Thus his mind is sterilized by authority before it has had a chance to mature. Thus youth is mentally castrated, that its natural vitality may be afterwards used up in the yoke of custom — which is the yoke of slavery. In the nursery, at school, and at college, plastic brain-pulp is deliberately forced into the pre-arranged mould. Everything that a corrupt civilization can do, is done to compress the growing intellect into unnatural channels. Thus the great mass of men who inhabit the world of to-day have no initiative, no originality or independence of thought, but are mere subjective individualities, who have never had the slightest voice in fashioning the ideals that they formally revere. Although the average man has taken no part in manufacturing moral codes and statute laws, yet how he obeys them with dog-like submissiveness? He is trained to obedience, like oxen are broken to the yoke of their masters.

  • The Satanic Bible Anton Szandor Lavey
    Called “The Black Pope” by many of his followers, Anton LaVey began the road to High Priesthood of the Church of Satan when he was only 16 years old and an organ player in a carnival: “On Saturday night I would see men lusting after half‐naked girls dancing at the carnival, and on Sunday morning when I was playing the organ for tent‐show evangelists at the other end of the carnival lot, I would see these same men sitting in the pews with their wives and children, asking God to forgive them and purge them of carnal desires. And the next Saturday night they’d be back at the carnival or some other place of indulgence. “I knew then that the Christian Church thrives on hypocrisy, and that man’s carnal nature will out!” From that time early in his life his path was clear. Finally, on the last night of April, 1966– Walpurgisnacht, the most important festival of the believers in witchcraft–LaVey shaved his head in the tradition of ancient executioners and announced the formation of The Church Of Satan. He had seen the need for a church that would recapture man’s body and his carnal desires as objects of celebration. “Since worship of fleshly things produces pleasure,” he said, “there would then be a temple of glorious indulgence. .” The Satanic Bible Anton Szandor LaVey For Diane Dedications To: Bernadino Logara, who knew the value of money Karl Haushofer, a teacher without a classroom Rasputin, who knew the magic of a child Sir Basil Zaharoff, a gentleman Cagliostro, a rogue Barnabas Saul, the link with Mount Lalesh Ragnar Redbeard, whose might is right William Mortensen, who looked .

Lewis University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, USA Dept. of Philosophy and Religious Studies eMail: [email protected] We have a bible. We have a pro-human dogma. We have a church. We have a tradition. - From the Church of Satan's official website. The status of The Satanic Bible as an authoritative scripture-or, perhaps more accurately, as a kind of quasi-scripture-within the Satanic subculture was initially brought to my attention during my first face-to-face encounter with Satanists in the Spring of 2000. Via the internet, I had found a small Satanist group in Portage, Wisconsin, which was about an hour south of where I resided at the time. This group, the Temple of Lylyth, distinguishes itself from Anton LaVey's brand of Satanism chiefly by its emphasis on feminine nature of the Dark Power. I arranged to meet with them in Portage on a Friday evening in connection with a research project on which I was working at the time. Over the course of our conversation, the founder and then leader of the group mentioned that on Friday evenings he was usually downtown where a small group of fervent Christians regularly set up what might be called a "preaching station" to spread the Gospel. This young fellow (he was nineteen at the time) would confront them as a practicing Satanist.

  • Introducing Ethics Into the Natural Resources Engineering Curricula
    Session 2608 Introducing Ethics into the Natural Resources Engineering Curricula Ernest W. Tollner, Professor Driftmier Engineering Center University of Georgia Athens, GA 30602 Ethics is the discipline concerned with the process for deciding what is "good behavior" and what is "bad behavior" in particular situations. In other words, what is one's moral obligation in particular instances? How do our values map into behavior in specific situations? Ethics provide written or spoken standards. The goal is not to define a "one size fits all" ethical position. Such does not exist. Each person needs to be able to raise a conscientious defense for positions taken when ethical questions are involved. We hear constant reference to values and ethics, particularly when reading literature on Total Quality Management (TQM). Here we are mainly concerned with conservation values and ethics versus resource development values and ethics. Engineers have an interest in and can offer solutions toward both points of view. ABET and state licensing boards are becoming increasingly interested in ethics and associated assessment issues. An ethics introduction is presented to stimulate understanding and compassion for widely diverse views. This introduction forms the core of a reading planned for students engaging in an ethics discussion lab. A case study involving the tension between conservation and development with a discussion guide is also presented with the goal of raising the consciousness of students of diverse ethical positions. The exercise would most likely work best with junior-senior level students of diverse backgrounds in small group settings. I.

  • Who Serves Satan? a Demographic and Ideological Profile
    Marburg Journal of Religion: Volume 6, No. 2 (June 2001) Who Serves Satan? A Demographic and Ideological Profile James R. Lewis Dept. of Philosophy and Religious Studies University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, USA Email: [email protected] Abstract: In order to test conventional wisdom about modern Satanists, an online questionnaire was used to gather data from 140 respondents. Based on this data, a demographic and ideological profile was constructed which indicated that the statistically-average Satanist is an unmarried, white male in his mid-twenties with a few years of college. He became involved in Satanism through something he read in high school, and has been a self-identified Satanist for more than seven years. Raised Christian, he explored one non-Satanist religious group beyond the one in which he was raised before settling into Satanism. His view of Satan is some variety of non-theistic humanism and he practices magic. The length of average involvement and the often reflective responses to open- ended questions indicates that, far from being confined to adolescent rebels, many Satanists are reflective individuals who--despite the fact that youthful rebellion was usually a factor in the beginning--have come to appropriate Satanism as a mature religious option. Introduction In Mephistopheles, the final volume in his magisterial study of the history of the Devil, Jeffrey Burton Russell contemptuously dismisses modern, religious Satanism as represented by Anton Szandor LaVey, the Church of Satan, and the Temple of Set. Obviously irritated by what he characterizes as "Satan chic," Russell asserts that "Satan is by definition evil." Hence contemporary Satanism's effort to recover the positive Satan of the Romantic poets is "inherently meaningless" because it "contradicts itself." The problem with this kind of analysis is that Western society is long past the stage in its cultural history where Satan and Satanism can unambiguously be equated with evil.
