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.

Title: Israel as a Synthetic Construct Tags: #Evola #Tradition #Zionism #ModernDecadence #SpiritualInauthenticity

  1. Artificial Nationhood: Israel is a modernist fabrication, imposed upon an ancient land without organic historical or spiritual continuity, reflecting the same rootlessness that plagues the modern world.
  2. Rejection of Sacred Order: The Zionist manipulation of the Temple Mount violates traditional Jewish prohibitions, exposing a politicized pseudo-religiosity devoid of genuine sacred connection.
  3. Cultural Deracination: Israel lacks an authentic cultural foundation, instead appropriating elements from diaspora Judaism and Palestinian heritage while fostering a hollow, consumerist identity (for example, electronic dance music as escapism).
  4. Mechanized Propaganda: Like all modernist regimes, Israel depends on relentless propaganda, lobbying, and psychological manipulation to sustain its artificial legitimacy.
  5. Imperial Pawn: Western support for Israel is not organic but engineered by oligarchic interests, serving as a destabilizing force in the Middle East to maintain imperial control over resources.
  6. Spiritual Bankruptcy: The forced revival of Hebrew as a “national language” mirrors modernity’s obsession with constructing identities, devoid of the living, traditional linguistic spirit.
  7. Media Subversion: The suppression of dissenting voices in Western media (for example, firings of critics like Briahna Joy Gray) reveals the totalitarian nature of Zionist influence, aligning with broader modernist thought-control.
  8. Celebrity Complicity: The coercion of Hollywood figures into pro-Israel postures exemplifies the degradation of elites into tools of ideological manipulation, betraying any remnant of aristocratic independence.
  9. Astroturfed Loyalty: Social media manipulation and fake grassroots support demonstrate the inherently inorganic nature of Zionism, reliant on deception rather than organic allegiance.
  10. Inevitable Collapse: As with all modernist aberrations, Israel’s synthetic existence is unsustainable—its reliance on force and fraud ensures eventual dissolution, as Tradition reasserts itself against decadence.

Conclusion: Israel epitomizes the crisis of the modern world—a rootless, artificial construct upheld by violence and lies, destined to fall before the return of true order.

This is why Israel appeals so much to Christians and nationalists—because for both, the spirit is severed from the material. Israel is a Western problem. If you destroy Israel, you destroy the modern conception of the materialist West.

Metaphysical part:

Caitlin Johnstone – “Everything About Israel Is Fake”

Israel is not a country, it’s like a fake movie set version of a country. A movie set where the set pieces won’t even stand up on their own, so people are always running around in a constant state of construction trying to prop things up and nail things down. Image: caitlinjohnstone.com.au

Everything about Israel is fake. It’s a completely synthetic nation created without any regard for the organic sociopolitical movements of the land and its people, slapped rootless atop an ancient pre-existing civilisation with deep roots.

That’s why it cannot exist without being artificially propped up by nonstop propaganda, lobbying, online influence operations, and mass military violence.

Israel is so fake that its far right Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir has been stoking religious tensions by encouraging militant Zionists to pray on the Temple Mount — known to Muslims as Al-Aqsa.

This is an illustration of how phony Israel and its political ideology are because Jews were historically prohibited from praying at the Temple Mount under Jewish law; a sign placed there in 1967 and still upheld by Israel’s Chief Rabbinate reads, “According to Torah Law, entering the Temple Mount area is strictly forbidden due to the holiness of the site.”

It’s just this weird, evangelical Christian-like thing that Zionists have started doing in contravention of their own traditions and religious texts to advance their nationalist agendas.

Journalist Dan Cohen explains on Twitter:

“‘Prayer’ on the Temple Mount is 100% a Zionist invention in total contravention of Jewish law. Jews don’t step foot onto the Temple Mount, let alone ‘pray’ there. That’s why the sign below is posted at the entrance non-Muslims use.

“Ben Gvir publicly announced this in order to provoke a reaction to use as a pretext to restrict and expel Muslims from the site, explode Jerusalem and the West Bank, and expand the regional war.

“Ben Gvir holds Netanyahu hostage. Together, they’re leading Israel to self-destruction.”

There’s no authentic spirituality in such behaviour. It has no roots. No depth. No connection. It’s the product of busy minds with modern agendas, with nothing more to it than that.

Israel is so fake that Zionists artificially resurrected a dead language in order for its people to have a common “native” tongue for them to speak, so that they could all LARP as indigenous Middle Easterners together in their phony, synthetic country.

Israel has no real culture of its own — it’s all a mixture of (A) organic Jewish culture brought in from other parts of the world by the Jewish diaspora, (B) culture that was stolen from Palestinians (see “Israeli food”), and © the culture of indoctrinated genocidal hatred that is interwoven with the fabric of modern Zionism.

The way Israel has become a Mecca of electronic dance music points clearly to an aching cultural void that its people are trying desperately to fill with empty synthetic pop fluff.

Even international support for Israel is fake, manufactured astroturf that has to be enforced from the top down, because it would never organically occur to anyone that Israel is something that should be supported.

The phenomenally influential Israel lobby is used to push pro-Israel foreign policy in powerful Western governments like Washington and London. Just this week US Representative Thomas Massie told Tucker Carlson that every Republican in Congress besides himself “has an AIPAC person” assigned to them with whom they are in constant communication, who he describes as functioning “like your babysitter” with regard to lawmaking on the subject of Israel.

The Israel lobby exists with the full consent of the Western imperial war machine and its secretive intelligence cartel, because Western military support for Israel is also phony and fraudulent.

The Western empire whose strategic interests directly benefit from violence and radicalism in the Middle East pretends it is constantly expanding its military presence in the region in order to promote stability and protect an important ally, but in reality this military presence simply allows for greater control over crucial resource-rich territories whose populations would otherwise unite to form a powerful bloc acting in their own interests.

The Israel lobby is a self-funding consent manufacturer which helps the empire do what it already wants to do.

Support for Israel in the media is also phony and imposed from the top down. Since October outlets like The New York Times, CNN and CBC have been finding themselves fighting off scandals due to staff leaks about demands from their executives that they slant their Gaza coverage to benefit the information interests of Israel.

Briahna Joy Gray was just fired by The Hill for being critical of Israel as co-host of the show “Rising”, a fate that all mass media employees understand they will share if they are insufficiently supportive of the empire’s favorite ethnostate.

Israel’s support from celebrities is similarly forced. A newly leaked email from influential Hollywood marketing and branding guru Ashlee Margolis instructs her firm’s employees to “pause on working with any celebrity or influencer or tastemaker posting against Israel.”

As we discussed recently, celebrities are also naturally disincentivised from criticising any aspect of the Western empire by the fact that their status is dependent on wealthy people whose wealth is premised upon the imperial status quo.

Support for Israel on social media is likewise notoriously phony. For years Israel has been pioneering the use of social media trolls to swarm Israel’s critics and promote agendas like undermining the BDS movement.

After the beginning of the Gaza onslaught Israel spent millions on PR spin via advertising on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, and The New York Times has just confirmed earlier reports that Israel has been targeting US lawmakers with fake social media accounts to influence their policymaking on Israel.

In truth, nobody really organically supports Israel. If they’re not supporting it because their lobbyists and employers told them to, they’re supporting it because that’s what they were told to support by the leaders of their dopey political ideologies like Zionism, liberalism and conservatism, or by the leaders of their dopey religions like Christian fundamentalism.

It’s always something that’s pushed on people from the top down, rather than arising from within themselves due to their own natural interests and ideals.

Israel is not a country, it’s like a fake movie set version of a country. A movie set where the set pieces won’t even stand up on their own, so people are always running around in a constant state of construction trying to prop things up and nail things down, and scrambling to pick up things that are falling over, and rotating the set pieces so that they look like real buildings in front of the camera.

Without this constant hustle and bustle of propagandising, lobbying, online influence ops, and nonstop mass military violence, the whole movie set would fall over, and people would see all the film crew members and actors and cameras for what they are.

Clearly, no part of this is sustainable. Clearly, something’s going to have to give. Those set pieces are going to come toppling down sooner or later; it’s just a question of when, and of how high the pile of human corpses needs to be before it happens.
