This is not to say that we cannot be discreet in our actions or have recourse to agility of mind; indeed the opposite is the case. Our principles dictate that we draw upon every sinew of our being, - physical, mental, spiritual - stretching ourselves to the limit in advancing the Cause, whilst simultaneously maintaining our purity of Spirit. It is far too easy to abandon our principles and values arguing pressure of circumstance. It takes strength of character, fortitude and resilience to resist the corrosive ideas of our enemies who bid us take the easy way. We have only to compromise once and we are on the slippery slope that leads to betrayal. Our way is not easy. It is arduous, it is ascetic, it is a landscape of blood, sweat and tears. The day that it ceases to be these things is the day that Revolutionary Nationalism sells out.
Now, an understanding of the relationship between Means and Ends is not a mere academic exercise, but an essential qualification that determines not only the recruitment of Political Soldiers, but also how they are to be moulded into National Revolutionary Warriors. It is the condition for realizing why certain methods will never be acceptable to us. Let us look at recruitment. In the past the warrior elite were a fact of everyday life, and every bit as natural as sunny days and green pastures, but today they are at best a romantic memory. The stark conclusion, therefore, that we must face is that it is people like you - the readers of this pamphlet - who are going to have to lead the way, to become the Political Soldiers that will make victory possible. Some of you will chuckle at the idea. Some of you will draw back in fear at the idea. Some of you will confess that you don’t have what it takes. Unfortunately God, Destiny, call it what you will, has decreed that you and I must undertake this daunting task. Our forefathers had to confront similar situations and we must draw strength from their spirit which urges us on. It is upon the bedrock of their spirit that we must erect the banner of the Celtic Cross and defy all stupid enough to provoke the wrath of this nation.
And if you refuse to be those warriors, to whom can the nation turn? Those with their heads in a pint or a glue bag? Those seeking ‘reality’ in science fiction videos or heroin? Those who talk loud and long, who threaten a Twilight of the Gods, and yet begrudge a few pounds in the funds or a couple of hours at a meeting? The moron in the street who thinks that a short back and sides, cheap beer and Princess Di’s new hat is the meaning of nationalism? The plastic patriot, the bourgeois drone, ever so devoted to “England’s green and pleasant pastures “, but not so devoted that he wouldn’t sacrifice his “patriotism” if it threatened the “respectability” accorded him by his neighbours and friends? None of us wants this combat, but duty calls. Those who refuse are quite simply cowards. The Political Soldier can respect his Enemy, but he can only despise the Traitor and Deserter. And when the birth-right of your children has been stolen from them and parcelled out to enemies, will you be able to look them in the eye and say that you did all that you could?
Assuming you have the guts and determination necessary, how do you become a National Revolutionary? No two Political Soldiers can be completely alike, though naturally they will have much in common. The differences that exist will be due to our being individuals possessing both strengths and weaknesses. These differences need not present us with problems, indeed they can be turned to our advantage, for an effective army is made up of differing types of men. All Chiefs and no Indians is just as useless as all Indians and no Chiefs. Some of you will emerge as leaders, others as warriors, but all will be vital to our National Mission.
The path of development, the programme of training, that culminates in the birth of the Political Soldier is a Cross laid upon our backs. It is through carrying this burden, through struggle, that we come slowly - and I mean slowly - to acquire the qualities we need. There are those who strive for physical excellence as their highest goal in life - they will confirm that this excellence is something that is not given away free with every gallon of petrol, but is something that requires hard work and much pain. In the same way, becoming a Political Soldier is a matter for activists, not armchair dictators or self-professed Men of Destiny.
Having said that, the path of development is simple and logical in its structure. You set out to achieve only small things at first, objectives which when achieved will provide you with the confidence and skill to attempt more ambitious targets. The most important thing at this stage is to be honest with yourself because if you cannot do so, you will never be honest with your colleagues. Sit by yourself, and after a period of serious reflection, draw up a list of your good and bad points, remembering to avoid the extremes of excessive criticism or smug complacency. This done, choose one good point that can be developed and improved, and one weakness that you would be better off without. On paper this sounds remarkably easy, but in reality it is a battle of titanic proportions. There will be times when you think you are going well, then suddenly you will fall flat on your face by returning to old habits. But don’t give up or be discouraged by failure because it is the getting up off your knees and trying again that develops your self discipline and the will to succeed against all odds. It is a process that will do for you spiritually what Charles Atlas claims his weights will do for you physically! You can only understand happiness when you understand sadness, you can only appreciate success when you have experienced the bitter taste of failure. If you cannot overcome yourself in little things, you will prove quite useless in a crisis. When things get really rough in the coming years, when repression is violent, systematic, total, you will want to know that you can count on your comrades in the struggle, and they will want to know that they can count on you. The peace of mind that this trust in others will produce cannot be overestimated.
Let me give a few practical ideas of where to begin, but do remember that they are only general examples to get you to think along the right lines.
Do you watch TV night after night? If so, cut down the time that you do this because you are needlessly exposing yourself to the propaganda of our enemies, whether you watch a documentary or a soap opera. Use your time more constructively and in a way that aids the National Struggle. Read a political book or magazine. Go for a walk in the countryside or in a park and enjoy the gifts of nature. Do that extra bit of leafletting or newspaper selling. Organize a discussion group at your place for a couple of friends, or get involved in local community groups like Tenants Associations, Friends of the Earth and so on and fight for local justice.
Do you drink 4 5 6 or more pints when you are out for the night? Cut it down to 2 or 3 pints; not only will you have more money to put at the disposal of the Cause, but your health will improve greatly. Besides, the Crusaders were not known for their beer guts!
Do you smoke a lot? If so, cut it down or better still cut it out. You are only keeping Big Business in business by damaging your health. There will be times when you will need to move fast, and those who insist on taking on the appearance of a wheezing dinosaur will then have to pay the price!
Do you put going to football or a party ahead of attending an NF function? If so, learn to get your priorities right. Of course, everyone needs a break from the struggle, but remember that if the NF fails because of the half-heartedness of its members, it will signal not only the death knell of the nation, but also of the very distractions that you thought so important.
If you are not in the habit of reading, get into the habit and always push yourself to higher levels. Knowledge is Power and the more you know the more of a threat you become to the System. Come to party seminars where you will be instructed in the production of local leaflets that will help you promote nationalist ideas in your local community; where you will be taught to silk screen print posters and tee shirts; where our lecturers will explain our revolutionary ideals in simple terms, and which will improve your ability to convert people through persuasion.
These things, and many more, the party can teach you, but there is a wide field for personal initiative: learn new languages, especiall
y if you have Irish, Scots, Welsh or Cornish roots; learn to drive, to type, to speak in public. Go to evening classes to learn electronics, mechanics, shorthand or journalism, or take up a physical pastime like weightlifting or a martial art. There are a million and one things that you, can do to improve yourself, things which will give you satisfaction and help the Cause achieve Victory. Whatever you do take up, resolve that you will persevere to the end. Sitting around doing nothing is just what the creeps in Parliament hope you will do, for you are thereby making their work so much easier.
For those willing to make the necessary sacrifices to become Political Soldiers, you will need to develop certain virtues:
PATIENCE: because the transition to the Political Soldier takes time and real effort and will not come in a week or a few months. It is a work that will consume a lifetime if Perfection is the goal.
CALMNESS: because as State repression mounts, it will be the cool, calm and collected who will survive, not the panicky amateurs.
SELF DISCIPLINE: because those who are Masters of themselves are masters of their situation. Possess the strength that cannot be seen, but is felt by both comrades and opponents.
SENSE OF HUMOUR: because whilst life is not a bed of roses, it is not one long drudge either. It is a little of both. Develop the ability to laugh at yourself and your situation, and you will be transformed into a spectral fighter who will haunt our foes.
The power of laughter was illustrated recently in Italy at the trial of 30 nationalist activists, activists whose average age was 20 years old. On trial for offences which if proven would lead in many cases to life imprisonment, these, innocent before God and Man, upheld the finest Nationalist traditions. The Italian media and judiciary fully expected these youths to be sitting there in the dock, stony faced, serious, worried. How disappointed they were to be as these comrades, ignoring the proceedings, played cards and laughed and joked with one another. They didn’t give a damn, and why should they? Four years awaiting trial, offers of early release to those who would turn Supergrass - yet they didn’t yield one iota of their Faith. The judge demanded to be taken seriously and was greeted with howls of laughter. This is real strength - it proclaims that Death itself has no power over it. It is a strength that will make us unconquerable for what can our enemies do beyond this? The ancient Celts inscribed this strength into a proverb:” Fight for your country and accept death ~/necessary: because death is a victory and a liberation for the soul.”
We fight for the England of William Byrd and Thomas Talus; for the wild beauty of Cornwall and the serenity of the Lake District. We fight for Wales - the Land of Comrades - not only for her soulful literature and music, but for the heroic spirit of Owain Glyndwr. We fight for Scotland, her Highlands and Islands, her ballads and bards. We fight for Ireland, the land of paradoxes: tragedy and comedy, humour and short temper; for the purity that G.K. Chesterton stated thus: “The very lies of Dublin and Belfast are truer than the truisms of Westminster.”
Little remains to be said as the ultimate choice confronts you: Are you to become a Revolutionary Warrior fighting for National Freedom, or the coward who will stoop to kiss the filthy boots of a festering System?
Let the coward hang his head in shame. Let the warrior know that his reward is to come!
1 Editors note: The Political Solider was the most influential text to emerge during the intellectual fernent that took place in the nationalist movement in Great Britian during the cross-fertilisation of ideas that occured in the early 1980s when Roberto Fiore and other Italians exiled in London met the young cadres of the National Front.
2 There is one reference in this little work to the “New Age”. To avoid any misunderstanding, let me say clearly that when this booklet was first published, I had never heard of the New Age movement, now so hyped up by the mass media. In this booklet the term is used simply to express a Christian Ideal, a society that we are called upon to build because of the rights of Truth and our sense of Duty.
CONQUERING FEAR IN ORDER TO WIN
Irene Dimopoulou
I do not know of a stronger means of making a young person’s hopes and dreams wither, before they even come into bloom, other than Fear. Fear is the most paralysing of human sentiments, and our enemies know it.
When are you to take that proverbial first step into the journey of your life as you want it to be, will you move from the flock of mind-and-will controlled individuals that form today’s society? If you come to think about it, most of the time people are subjected to control by the ruling elites, but no other tie is more obvious to us than the 20th century and, alas, our era of mass communication -and mass hypnosis.
Fear not though, because the enemy is powerful, sufficiently powerful if we let him grasp us by the hand, and get us thinking of how to get away, but not powerful enough to decide our fate, for our fate lies in Almighty God’s hands - and in our own.
What is Fear?
Fear is an instrument of repression in the hands of the self-proclaimed elites. Inflicted Fear, as in our societies, post-World War Two, is not anxiety, a sentiment related to specific conditions, such as lack of health or loss of employment. It is abstract enough and common enough, to affect all. Fear is sown deliberately, and pruned regularly, so that The People tend to seek the fatherly presence of the political, religious or other power that instills it, in order to feel protected by the chosen Fear it projects. Fear is an enemy of Free Will and the most anti-democratic means of propaganda. To paraphrase Sophocles in Antigone: “Fear teaches the steadiest minds to waver.”
Not so in the case of Golden Dawn, the nationalist party of Greece whose leaders (including my husband, party co-founder and Member of Parliament, Christos Pappas) and dozens of members and sympathisers were put to prison without trial for up to 18 months in September 2013.
Fear was the means used by the Greek government, media and foreign lobbies and personalities against public opinion, to put a halt to the emergence of the nationalist party, which had climbed at the time to 18% in the polls. The campaign of Fear was tried as a way of stopping the Golden Dawn paradigm – and it failed. But it doesn’t mean that it will not be repeated, and it is up to us to learn how to face it.
Golden Dawn rose to be Greece’s third political force in spite of all the propaganda campaigns, the insults, the silent treatment, the imprisonments of its leaders, and the brutal shooting outside its offices in a northern suburb of Athens on November 1st, 2013, that left two young comrades dead and two seriously wounded.
Doubting Authority
People have always had a tendency to doubt Authority. This is not a privilege of the Anarchists or the Left, as modern ideological structure would have us believe. People, as sovereign creatures sharing in the wisdom of God and the Cosmos, are reluctant to give away their right to think and decide, to self-proclaimed Leaders, even when they have sealed the ascent to power of the later, with the all-mighty vote of The People.
Nonetheless it is also within the human condition that some people do have “what it takes” to become Leaders, and to form alliances that provide them with the ability to rule over the rest, for better or worse.
Some may command respect through their acts of valour and service to the Community. All of them, however, make use of the powerful tool: Fear. They make their presence indispensable by pointing out true or imagined enemies or they impose their will by making The People fear their acquired powers, their entourage, or their wrath.
Fear can become a real threat to life, as in the actions of the Police beating up demonstrators of an organisation that is not acceptable to The Power, or can be plasmatic as is the case of our modern democracies. People fear ISIS, for their mass, blind, ritual killings of sheepy Europeans, as Americans used to fear Al Qaeda when it allegedly brought down the World Trade Center back in 2001; no one came face to face with them in an open war, but everyone fears them.
&nbs
p; It could have been AIDS or Ebola, or basically innocent entities like mosquitos, chickens and pigs spreading fever. More importantly, ISIS should not be confused with the Muslims. Muslims are good, the Koran is good. It is all the Europeans’/ Whites’ fault that they are getting bombed, crushed by trucks or slaughtered on their churches’ altars. They are intolerant and racist. If the Media says so, then it must be true.
The Fear of Doubt and “not enough”
The Media can create the Fear of doubting our own ability to decide our future, while at the same time praising Democracy and Parliamentarism, as is the case with the BREXIT vote of the British people. We, The People, are “not enough” to decide. As in consumerism in a society functioning with created/borrowed money, or as in disasters that happen on the other end of the planet, but are broadcasted in a way that makes the threat real and imminent, we cannot face our own decisions. Someone else with Power, Wisdom and vision beyond ours, must be the one who decides for us against our will. And this, in turn, provokes Fear.
Fear must be constant among The People if modern democracies are to follow through with imposing their plans for the mass extermination and replacement of European populations, starting with or aiming at the annihilation of traditional values and customs rooted in the Westerner’s conscience.
Le mal absolu
If our political system honours and prostates itself in front of the Democracy of the Markets. If all of the political parties vow in the name of the Freedom of the person to consume the by-products of the elites. If it sees itself as powerful enough to impose its will on anything from marker racketeers to same-sex “marriage”, to GMOs and the TTIP, it recognises one and sole enemy: Nationalism, the political voice of the reality that it wants to subvert.
