This inevitably involves an altered state of consciousness, to some degree or the other, and which is just as it should be. Because at the heart of esoteric teaching in all parts of the world lies the belief that higher forms of intelligence can be accessed in altered states. The Western tradition in particular has always emphacized the value of imaginative exercises which involve cultivating and dwelling upon visual images. Allowed to sink deep into the mind, they there do their work.‖ … ―Induce in yourself a different state of mind and the most famous and familiar histories mean something very different. In fact, if anything in this history is true, then everything your teachers taught you is thrown into question. I suspect this prospect doesn‘t alarm 6 you. As one of the devotees of the ancient and secret philosophy so memorably put it: You must be mad or you wouldn‘t be here.‖ Mark Booth, The Secret History of the World, 2008. o then, welcome to the madhouse! While some may call my book convoluted and complex, in some ways, it is relatively brief and simple. S You won‘t have to read all that far before either ―clicking‖ with the basic models and concepts presented or just closing the book and rejecting the matters I set before you. Although it may be best to read the chapters in order, if something ―leaps out‖ at you, then by all means, read this or that piece before the others. For me, such feelings are inner spiritual instructions to pay attention and see what is actually before us. But before beginning the presentation, I must share a personal story regarding these matters. Shortly after I published several articles on freemasonry (which are chapters in this book) and was interviewed on the radio, a secondary residence where I sometimes sleep over and where I maintain an office was broken into. This was no ordinary burglary. All that was stolen were two computers, passing up other items that easily could have been sold or hocked by the burglars. This was a burglary with a clear purpose and intent. Also, my other laptop was attacked by a virus which wiped out my files, but I was lucky to have (some) backup copies available. To say the least, I considered all of this was a warning, learning very quickly that these matters not called an occult war for nothing! Given this set of circumstances, we must assume that there is something in this material that, how shall we call them, the Powers That Be, do not want you to know. So without taking up more time and space, embark with me on a journey of discovery into historiography, metaphysics and current events. Follow closely as we enter some very exciting but also rather bizarre and outré venues. Wherever your journey may have begun, welcome to our exploratory venture into the Occult War. But even more importantly, learn that the battle is essentially to circumvent the globalist New World Order secret society plans and protocols for our lives and our world. With that in mind, away we go. 7 Questo libro è in onore e memoria del Barone Giulio Cesare Andrea Evola, un filosofo, metafisico e visionario. 8 Born Giulio Cesare Andrea Evola to a noble Sicilian family on May 19, 1898, Baron Julius Evola took on many roles through his long and productive life. He served in World War I as an artillery officer, and then became one of Italy's leading Dadaists. Shortly after dalliance in avant- garde and futurist movements, he became an occultist and embarked upon the career path of his mature work. After the First World War, he experimented briefly with hallucinogenic drugs and Tantra, but later renounced both these forms of stimulation. During the early 1920s he published with the UR Group, an occult fascist society in Italy. Although he was often critical of the regime, Evola did not suffer greatly under Mussolini's regime. During World War II, Evola volunteered with the German war effort as a translator of Masonic documents. He was injured during a Russian bombardment and confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. After the war, he continued to write and publish, getting arrested in 1951 for „promotion of fascism.‟ He died on June 11, 1974. http://www.juliusevola.com/julius_evola/biography.html 9 CHAPTER ONE. EXPLORING THE REALITIES OF THE OCCULT WAR, AN EXPLORATION IN METAPHYSICS AND HISTORIOGRAPHY. EXPLORING AN EONS-OLD STRUGGLE. n his 1833 magnum opus, Anacalypsis, Godfrey Higgins addresses a key theological and philosophical matter. The forces that conflict I today have been around from the earliest times of human existence. Higgins traces both the linguistic and spiritual roots to the ancient religions of India, but in particular the Zoroastrian religion of Persia. These pagan Magian traditions quickly made their way into the belief systems practiced by the Semitic peoples of the desert. ―Thus we see here that the doctrines of the Persians and that of the Jews, and we shall see afterwards, of the Gnostics and Manichean Christians, were in reality the same. The following is Dean Prideaux's account of the religion of Zoroaster: ‗The chief reformation which he made in the Magian religion was in the first principle of it; for whereas before they had held the being of two first causes, the first light, or the good god, who was the author of all good; and the other darkness, or the evil god, who was the author of all evil; and that of the mixture of those two, as they were in a continued struggle with each other....‘ ―In sum, his doctrine, as to this particular, was, that there was one Supreme Being, independent and self-existing from all eternity; that under him there were two angels, one the angel of light, who is the director of all good; and the other the angel of darkness, who is the director of all evil; and that these two, out of the mixture of light and darkness, made all things that are; and that they are in a perpetual struggle with each other; and that where the angel of light prevails, there the most is good, and where the angel of darkness prevails, there the most is evil; that this struggle shall continue to the end of the world.‖ Let‘s begin by confronting basic issues. The very term, occult, is perceived as negative by some readers. They have been taught this by the media and by most of the schools and churches. By necessity then, we begin with a debunking of this concept. The word, occult, simply means secret or 10 concealed, and beyond this, with a secondary meaning having to do with the magical and supernatural. As Godfrey Higgins shows, all spiritual forces and their manifestations in worldly affairs involve both the Forces of Light and the Dark Powers.

  • 14 European Far-Right Music and Its Enemies Anton Shekhovtsov
    14 European Far-Right Music and Its Enemies Anton Shekhovtsov I’m patriotic, I’m racialistic, My views are clear and so simplistic (English Rose, 2007b) In a self-conducted interview that appeared in his manifesto, Norwegian would-be right-wing terrorist and killer Anders Behring Breivik, under the pen name Andrew Berwick, argued that specifi c music helps sustain ‘high morale and motivation’ of ‘self-fi nanced and self-indoctrinated single in- dividual attack cells’ (2011, p. 856). He went on to list several ‘motiva- tional music tracks’ he particularly liked. Breivik described one of these tracks, ‘Lux Æterna’, by Clint Mansell, which was featured in the trailer for Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings : The Two Towers , as ‘very inspir- ing’ and as invoking ‘a type of passionate rage within you’ (2011, p. 858). On 22 July 2011, ‘Lux Æterna’ supposedly played in his iPod while he was killing members of the Workers’ Youth League of the Norwegian Labour Party on the island of Utøya (Gysin, Sears and Greenhill, 2011). Another artist favoured by Breivik in his manifesto is Saga, ‘a courageous, Swedish, female nationalist-oriented musician who creates pop-music with patriotic texts’ (2011, p. 856). Saga soared to the heights of right-wing fame in 2000, when she released three volumes of My Tribute to Skrewdriver on the Swedish right-wing label Midgård Records (2000a). Her three-volume album featured cover versions of Skrewdriver, a model White Power band, whose late leader, Ian Stuart Donaldson, founded the Blood & Honour (B&H) music promotion network in 1987.

  • National-Anarchism
    National-anarchism National-anarchism is a radical, anti-capitalist, anti-Marxist and anti-statist ideology. First-wave national-anarchists advocate that different ethnic and racial groups should peacefully coexist by developing separately in their own confederations of autonomous tribal communes within a post- capitalist stateless society.[1][2] The term national-anarchism dates back as far as the 1920s.[1] The few scholars who have studied national-anarchism conclude that it represents a further evolution in the thinking of the radical right rather than an entirely new dimension.[3][4][5] National-anarchism has elicited skepticism and outright hostility from both left- and right-wing critics. Some accuse national-anarchists of National-anarchist star being white nationalists who promote ethnic and racial separatism, while others argue they want the militant chic of calling themselves "anarchists" without the historical and philosophical baggage that accompanies such a claim.[2][6] The National-Anarchist Movement was propounded since the late 1990s byT roy Southgate.[1] Contents National-Anarchist History Movement flag Ideology Position on political spectrum Criticism See also Notes References History The term national-anarchist dates back as far as the 1920s, when Helmut Franke, a German conservative revolutionary writer, used it to describe his political stance. However, it would be the writings of other members of the conservative revolutionary movement, such as Ernst Jünger, which would later provide the philosophical foundation of

This thesis uses original research to examine how far the promotion of fascist views converged with mainstream opinion and identifies the issues on which British fascists went beyond the acceptable boundaries of mainstream society. Examining attitudes to antisemitism, refugees, the left, continental dictatorship and appeasement, culture, and, finally, the response of the mainstream press to the British Union of Fascists (BUF) and their reaction to what they perceived as a conspiracy against them, the thesis explores the possibility that there is a sufficient area of discursive overlap to locate British fascists within the mainstream. Significantly, comparison of the British fascist press and mainstream newspapers reveals that, while there were considerable areas of overlapping discourse, nonetheless, the underlying motivations of the fascists and the mainstream clearly differed.

  • Rebranding Fascism: National Anarchists - Spencer Sunshine
    Rebranding fascism: national anarchists - Spencer Sunshine A 2008 article from Spencer Sunshine on the organizational and intellectual history of "national anarchism". On September 8, 2007 in Sydney, Australia, the antiglobalization movement mobilized once again against neoliberal economic policies, this time to oppose the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) summit. Just as during the protests against the World Trade Organization in Seattle,Washington, in 1999, the streets were filled with an array of groups, such as environmentalists, socialists, and human rights advocates. And also just like in Seattle, there was a “Black Bloc”—a group of militant activists, usually left-wing anarchists, who wore masks and dressed all in black. In Sydney, the Black Bloc assembled and hoisted banners proclaiming “Globalization is Genocide.” But when fellow demonstrators looked closely, they realized these Black Bloc marchers were “National- Anarchists”—local fascists1 dressed as anarchists who were infiltrating the demonstration. The police had to protect the interlopers from being expelled by irate activists. Since then, the National-Anarchists have joined other marches in Australia and in the United States; in April 2008, they protested on behalf of Tibet against the Chinese government during the Olympic torch relay in both Canberra, Australia, and San Francisco. In September, U.S. National-Anarchists protested the Folsom Street Fair, an annual gay “leather” event held in San Francisco. While these may seem like isolated incidents of quirky subterfuge, these quasi anarchists are an international export of a new version of fascism that represent a significant shift in the trends and ideology of the movement. National-Anarchists have adherents in Australia, Great Britain, the United States, and throughout continental Europe, and in turn are part of a larger trend of fascists who appropriate elements of the radical Left.

  • Essays in Anarchism and Religion: Volume III
    From Benign Anarchy to Divine Anarchy: A Critical Review of “Spiritual Anarchism” Anthony Fiscella Independent Scholar, Sweden Rather than assuming that such a thing as “spiritual anarchism” exists (a union of two highly contested terms), this chapter criti- cally examines whom the label has applied to, whom it could refer to, and how we might conceive its story. Beginning with a critique of subtle but significant legacies of colonialism inherent within contemporary terms such as “religion” and “politics” as well as “anarchism” and “spirituality,” this chapter moves from an overview of literature on “spiritual anarchism” (Sri Aurobindo, Peter Lamborn Wilson, etc.) to discussion of forgotten stories (Krishnamurti, Womanism, MOVE, etc.) and concludes with an eye toward future studies of “spiritual anarchist” praxis (Auroville, Alcoholics Anonymous, etc.). I. Introduction Despite more than a century of usage and an apparent increase 1 in people who espouse some sort of blend between presumably “spiri- tual” and “anarchist” perspectives, the term “spiritual anarchism” 1 In my search for discussions (rather than mere mentions) of “spiritual anarchism,” I found more examples in the last ten years than in the last 100 years combined (see Charts 1–3). However, through a casual online Ngram search of phrase frequency in English literature, I noticed that the early 1930s seemed to have ten times as much frequency of the phrase as today (perhaps due in part to the founding of the Catholic Worker movement or Sri Aurobindo’s publications).

This process is often referred to as “the third wave” of right wing extremist and -radical parties. This master thesis analyzes the ideological reorientation of the “political soldiers”, a faction within the British neo-fascist organization National Front, in the context of the “third wave”. A common denominator among the political parties who gained any form of representation in this period was that they made an effort to distance themselves from their neo-Nazi or fascist pasts and renew themselves as political parties in order to break into mainstream electoral politics.
