Tags: #CulturalDecline #TraditionalValues #SpiritualBankruptcy #ModernDecadence

  1. Cultural and Moral Decline: The Tate brothers' case highlights the deepening moral decay in Western society, where figures embroiled in serious allegations are still celebrated and supported.
  2. Spiritual Bankruptcy: Their alignment with Donald Trump, a symbol of modern individualism and materialism, reflects the spiritual void in contemporary culture.
  3. Hypocrisy of the Christian Electorate: The support from self-proclaimed morally superior Christian voters exposes their hypocrisy, as they endorse individuals whose actions starkly contradict traditional values.
  4. Parasitic Mentality: The zombie-like adherence to figures like Trump and the Tates reveals a parasitic mindset, devoid of genuine spiritual or intellectual depth.
  5. Fetishized Individualism: The glorification of individualistic, materialistic success over communal and traditional values underscores the West's detachment from higher principles.
  6. Erosion of Traditional Values: The case exemplifies the erosion of traditional moral frameworks, replaced by a culture of excess, exploitation, and moral relativism.
  7. Intellectual Bankruptcy: The inability of society to critically evaluate and reject such figures demonstrates a profound intellectual decline.
  8. Moral Contradictions: The Christian electorate's support for Trump and the Tates reveals a glaring contradiction between their professed values and their actions.
  9. Symbol of Decadence: The Tate brothers' rise and fall symbolize the broader decadence of a society that prioritizes material success over spiritual and ethical integrity.
  10. Call for Restoration: This situation underscores the urgent need for a return to traditional values and a rejection of the hollow, individualistic ethos that dominates modern Western culture.

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have left Romania for the United States after previously being barred from exiting the country, where they are facing charges of rape and human trafficking.

The Tate brothers, departed Romania on Thursday following the lifting of travel restrictions by Romanian authorities. Both had been under legal scrutiny and were prohibited from leaving the country as part of an ongoing criminal case. Andrew and Tristan Tate, who hold dual US-UK citizenship, were arrested in Romania in 2022 on allegations of human trafficking, sexual misconduct, money laundering, and involvement in organized crime. They have consistently denied the charges but were placed under house arrest after spending three months in police custody. Their movements had been restricted since their release.

Reports indicate that the brothers left Bucharest on a private jet early Thursday, bound for Florida, after Romanian officials returned their US passports. The Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT), the Romanian agency handling the case, confirmed that the travel ban had been lifted. This development follows speculation that the administration of former US President Donald Trump had been pressuring Romania to remove the travel restrictions. The Tate brothers are vocal supporters of Trump.

The situation involving Andrew and Tristan Tate, their legal troubles, and their departure from Romania reflects a broader cultural and moral decline. The alignment of their supporters with figures like Donald Trump underscores the spiritual and intellectual bankruptcy of contemporary Western society. The Christian electorate, often claiming moral superiority, reveals its hypocrisy by endorsing individuals whose actions contradict traditional values. This underscores the characteristic parasitic, zombie-like mentality of Trump's Christian voters, even as they consistently portray themselves as the leading Western figure, allegedly anointed by a fetishized individualistic god.

Metaphysical part:

The Swastika as a Polar Symbol

The following reflections on the deeper significance of the swastika might seem unusual if Herman Wirth's research on the primordial Nordic races were not already known in Germany. However, what deserves greater emphasis is that the ideas expressed in this regard are not merely the conjectures of a modern scholar. Rather, they can be linked to a doctrine that, despite its scattered traces, is found with the marks of universality and unanimity across all great traditions of the past—from the Far Eastern, Tibetan, Indo-Aryan, and Irano-Aryan to the Hellenic, Egyptian, Gaelic, Germanic, and Aztec. For us, it is clear that these traditions, if understood directly beyond “positive” limitations, can convey more than many dubious reconstructions based on philological and paleographic grounds.

The first insight from this line of thought is the integration of the concept of the Aryan, Indo-Germanic, or Nordic race. What was once considered a primordial tribe now reveals itself as a relatively recent branch of a much older and purer Arctic race, more accurately described by the ancient term “Hyperborean.” This integration resolves many one-sided views and difficulties that have plagued previous interpretations of the Aryan thesis. The Aryan idea thus rises to a universal principle, establishing a continuity and common origin of cultural elements that were once thought separate but are found scattered across the East and West, North and South. In this light, the swastika symbol takes on new meaning. The difficulties faced by Ernst Kraus or Ludwig Müller, who argued that the swastika was exclusive to Indo-Germanic tribes, are diminished when considering the broader Hyperborean origin. The swastika's presence in regions like California, Central America, the Far East, Mesopotamia, and North Africa—areas not traditionally associated with Indo-Germanic peoples—can be explained through the diffusion of the Nordic Ur-race.

The second key aspect is the solar character of the primordial Nordic culture. This is evident from the consistent testimonies of ancient traditions regarding the Arctic homeland. The Hyperborean land of the Iranian Aryans, airyanem waêjô, is allegorically described in the Avesta as the home of solar “glory” and Yima, the “Radiant, Glorious One, who among men is like the sun.” Similarly, the Indo-Aryans' Çweta-dwîpa or uttara-kuru, the sacred land of the far North, is depicted as the “White Island” or “Island of Radiance,” the abode of Narâyâna, “in whom a great fire burns, radiating in all directions.” The Hellenic Hyperboreans are associated with the radiant Apollo, while Thule, merging with it, is said to derive its name from the sun. The Aztec Tullan or Tlallocan corresponds etymologically to Thule and is identified with the “House of the Sun.” In the Edda, Gimle or Gladsheim, the primordial home of Asgard, is described as eternal, golden, and radiant like the sun. Similar descriptions apply to the mysterious northern lands in Far Eastern traditions and the mystical Chambhala of pre-Buddhist Tibetan Bön tradition.

This symbolic testimony points to two elements: the idea of a solar cult and the concept of solar rulership. Regarding the first, Wirth's reconstruction suggests that the Nordic-Atlantic Ur-race shared a common solar religion. While this assumption is plausible, it requires further justification. What is clear is the intimate relationship between the sun and divine fire, evident in Indo-European traditions. The cult of fire was linked to both the uranic and solar components of patrician rites in ancient traditions (Bachofen) and to the concept of solar and divine kingship. The Iranian-Aryan hvarenô, the “glory” that makes kings, is a solar fire, akin to the Vedic agni-rohita and the Egyptian ânshûs, the life-force of kingship. This provides the first and simplest validation of the swastika as a Nordic symbol. The swastika, in its connection to the ancient Swastika, has often been interpreted as a symbol of fire and the sun. However, it is crucial to move beyond a “naturalistic” reduction of these concepts. Ancient peoples did not superstitiously deify natural forces but used them as symbols to express higher meanings. The swastika, as a fire symbol, is not merely a primitive tool for igniting flames but a spiritual and royal symbol, representing the primordial light and fire that ignited the ruling castes in their solar function over subordinate forces and races.

The swastika's significance extends beyond its solar and fiery aspects to its polar symbolism. The “solar” function embodied by the leaders of great traditional cultures was often compared to that of a “pole.” The leader represented the immovable point around which the ordered movement of forces revolved hierarchically. This is reflected in the Far Eastern concept of “immutability at the center” and Confucius's statement: “He who rules by virtue is like the pole star, which remains fixed while all other stars revolve around it.” The Aristotelian concept of the “unmoved mover” and the Sanskrit term cakravartî (“he who turns the wheel”) express the same idea. The polar symbol represents an irresistible force in its calm superiority, a power that legitimizes itself through its mere presence, embodying the stability of the “world of being” or the transcendent realm. This is also the meaning of the solar symbol embodied by Apollo, not as the rising and setting sun but as the steady, ruling light that surrounds the Olympians and the pure spiritual substances free from the world of passion and becoming.

The swastika, as one of the oldest symbols of this spirituality and its polar function, represents not merely movement but a circular motion around an immutable center or axis. It is not just a solar symbol (the wheel of solar Vishnu) but a symbol of the solar principle reduced to a central, ruling element—an immutable “Olympian” principle. In this sense, the swastika is a polar symbol, revealing meanings in the earliest prehistory that would later be expressed in the glorious cycles of Aryan mythologies and kingships derived from the primordial Nordic culture.

The polar symbol also applies to certain cultures or cultural centers that embodied a corresponding function in the totality of history. The Chinese Empire was called the “Middle Kingdom”; Meru, the symbolic Indo-Aryan Olympus, was considered the “pole” of the earth; the symbolism of the Omphalos, associated with Delphi, the traditional center of Dorian-Olympian Greece, reflects the same meaning; and Asgard, the mystical homeland of Nordic royal lineages, coincides with Midgard, the “land of the center.” Even Cuzco, the center of the Inca Sun Empire, seems to express the idea of an earthly “center.” Additionally, the Sanskrit Tulâ, associated with the Hellenic and American names for the Hyperborean homeland, means “balance,” and the zodiac sign Libra was initially identified with the Great Bear, a significant figure in Hyperborean cults, closely tied to polar symbolism.

Wirth's revival of the idea that the Arctic region was the primordial homeland of the white race, the progenitor of the Indo-Germanic and Aryan races, suggests a convergence of symbol and reality, metaphysics and physics, under the sign of the “pole.” The prehistoric polar cycle of the Nordic Ur-race could be seen as the original expression of “Olympian” spirituality and the “polar” function, which manifested wherever it led to new cultures and traditions through adaptation or diffusion. The symbol of the “center” and the “pole” can thus be a traditional and supra-historical emblem, originally corresponding to a complete alignment of reality and symbol, pointing to a homeland that coincides with the Earth's geographic pole and embodies the value and function of a spiritual primordial “pole.”

Wirth, however, errs in extending a cult to the entire Nordic tradition that actually pertains to a corrupted and “southernized” form of it. He emphasizes the winter solstice, interpreting the eternal cycle of the sun's death and resurrection as the mystery of the primordial Nordic faith. This view, which aligns the sun with a nature subject to birth and death, is more reflective of the chthonic cycle of the southern, pre-Aryan, and even Semitic mother-cult, associated with the great Asiatic fertility goddesses. Alfred Rosenberg has pointed out this confusion in Wirth's work, likely due to the mingling of testimonies from the earliest Nordic epochs with those of later, mixed cultures. While Wirth correctly distinguishes between a Nordic-Arctic (Hyperborean) race and a Nordic-Atlantic one, he fails to make a corresponding distinction in symbols and motifs, blending the two. According to the Avesta, Môuru, the land and culture of the “mother,” appears only as the third “creation,” already distant from the Nordic airyanem waêjô.

The theme of the sun god's death and resurrection in the mother, reflecting an eternal cycle of becoming, is fundamentally anti-Olympian and alien to the higher Nordic-Aryan spirituality. It is a theme attributable to southern influences, representing Dionysus against Apollo, Loki against the Aesir, and the chaotic desire for pantheistic ecstasy opposed to the calm self-awareness and natural supernaturalism of the “divine” races. Wirth's interpretation thus reflects a syncretic symbolism, far removed from the pure primordial Aryan cult and more applicable to the subsequent “Atlantic” culture, which shows traces of gynocratic themes.

In contrast, the polar cross, the swastika, symbolizes the unadulterated primordial worldview and can be regarded as a true Nordic symbol in the higher sense. Its fundamental theme is not change but a centralizing effect, to which change remains subordinate. On this basis, the solar and fiery symbols contained in the swastika take on a different meaning, directly connected to the distinctly uranic character of Aryan and Aryan-Hyperborean deities and cults, the patrician system of strict father-right, and all that signifies masculinity, true rulership, order, and the triumph of cosmos over chaos.

In this context, the swastika can lead us to a content of Nordic thought that is “classical” and “Doric” in the higher sense, characterized by centrality, inner “Olympian” superiority, and clarity within every “fire” and release of forces. According to an ancient tradition, those destined to rule must have the vision of a heavenly wheel: like a wheel, they act, turning and conquering. At the same time, the wheel embodies rta, the order, the spiritual Aryan law, depicted as a divine chariot in motion. The combination of these two concepts gives the fundamental idea of the moving swastika: a whirling, victorious wheel that generates fire and light, yet with a firm stillness, an immutable constancy at its center.

As the primordial Nordic homeland faded into the distant past, its memory transitioned from history to supra-history, becoming a receding reality accessible not through external means but only through spiritual action. Pindar states that the path to the Hyperboreans cannot be found by sea or land but is revealed only to heroes like Heracles, who remain faithful to the Olympian principle. Li-tse reports that the mysterious land of the far North can be reached “neither by ship nor by chariot, but only by the flight of the spirit.” Similarly, Chambhala, the Hyperborean homeland in Tibetan tradition, is said to reside “in my spirit.”

Perhaps no symbol better points to this inner path than the swastika, guiding the way for a resurrection of Germany's deepest forces from the summit of Nordic tradition. Indeed, the Indo-Aryan equivalent of the swastika, the Swastika, carries a favorable omen. It can be interpreted as a monogram composed of the letters forming the auspicious formula su-asti, equivalent to the Latin bene est or quod bonum faustumque sit—”What is good and fortunate, let it be!” No better symbol could be found to express the certainty of rebirth and the will to assert the legacy of the great Hyperborean ruling race against the dark forces threatening to overwhelm it.
