Part 5 of 5 (Part 1 here, Part 4 here)
A German war with Poland was now a certainty, but a new continental war involving Britain and France was not. The most important obstacle to the widening of the conflict was that Britain quietly viewed French participation as an indispensable precondition of her own involvement, and the French had not committed themselves to action against Poland.

Part 4 of 5 (Part 1 here, Part 3 here, Part 5 here)
Hitler’s cancellation of military operations for August 26 left him with only five days before September 1, after which, according to his generals, a military campaign in Poland would no longer be feasible. If war was to be prevented, it had to be done within this time. (more…)

Part 3 of 5 (Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 4 here)
By August 1939, everyone understood that a war between Germany and Poland was extremely probable. The great question was whether it might still be prevented from developing into a general European war. Hitler was under an important time constraint: since October rains transform Poland into a sea of mud, German military leaders warned him it would be unsafe to postpone the launch of hostilities past September 1.

Part 2 of 5 (Part 1 here, Part 3 here)
Given that both the United States and the Soviet Union were far larger and more powerful than Germany, and that the British themselves were still presiding over an enormous empire, one may wonder why Britain’s leadership was in such agreement on the supposedly urgent need to resist a far smaller power’s efforts to consolidate more of the German-speaking population of Central Europe within her borders.

Aleister Crowley jako politický teoretik

Thelemský stát
Podoba thelemské vlády je do jisté míry nastíněna v Knize zákona jako svébytná forma korporativismu: „Stav mnohosti ať je spoután a mějte jej v ohavnosti: ty nemáš jiného práva, než konat svoji vůli“. 1] V protikladu k anarchistickým či nihilistickým výkladům thelemské zásady „konej svou vůli“ však Crowley definoval thelemský stát jako dobrovolné sdružení pro blaho celku.

Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here)
It is during and after the First World War that reinforced concrete was incorporated into political programs as a “progressive” building material. The Futurist Antonio Sant’Elia inspired an entire generation of so-called “brutalists”: Le Corbusier, Buckminster Fuller, and members of the movement called De Stijl. Jappe cites Futurist proponents of concrete cities: (more…)

Historická fakta obvykle bývají podstatně paradoxnější a zajímavější, než následně o nich vytvořené mýty. Při čtení vynikající sbírky esejí Julia Evoly jsem narazil na fascinující baronův rozhovor s jiným aristokratem a dlouholetým propagátorem „evropského federalismu“, hrabětem Richardem von Coudenhove-Kalergi.

Co Ezra Pound doopravdy řekl?
2.089 slov
English original here
Americký básník a ikonoklasta, barvami hýřící Ezra Pound, jeden z nejvlivnějších umělců své generace, byl v letech 1945-1958 po obvinění z velezrady držen ve washingtonské psychiatrické léčebně. Pound se provinil jen tím, co dělal odjakživa: otevřeně říkal, co měl na srdci. Ke své škodě se však Ezra Pound za války ve svých rozhlasových pořadech z Itálie pustil do kritiky americké vlády, za což musel logicky skládat účty. Byl Ezra Pound prachsprostý vlastizrádce, nebo naopak prorok? Přečtěte si jeho slova a posuďte to sami. (more…)

Look out — here comes Hitler in a bra.
On Sunday, Italian voters are expected to propel a “far-Right” coalition led by a saucy and fetching 45-year-old woman into power.
Almost exactly one hundred years since Benito Mussolini took charge of Italy’s government, headlines for both UPI and the Guardian warn, in the exact same words, that Giorgia Meloni could “become Italy’s first far-Right leader since Mussolini.” (more…)

Whenever the self-proclaimed “progressives” lose a power play they suddenly experience a collective sphincter muscle collapse and react as if they’re teetering on the brink of an apocalypse, as was in stark evidence after Donald Trump derailed Hillary Clinton’s “The Corruption Express” headed for the White House Station. The Hollywood idiots, of course, were apoplectic. The outpouring and duration of mass hysteria in the aftermath of the 2016 election were unprecedented.
We’re still feeling the aftershock (more…)
