America is just coming off the Thanksgiving Day holiday, a
day that hearkens back to the ‘Pilgrim fathers’ of New
England. The celebration itself seems harmless enough, but we should look more deeply - at
what the Puritan settlement in New England and ultimately the victory of their
gnostic descendants at the North over the South during the War has meant for
the nations of the world: a stultifying
uniformity, as all must now clothe their societies in the forms of the Greatest
Nation the world has ever known and will ever know (the ‘shining city on a
hill’); and, flowing naturally enough from this, the military conquest of those
who do not yield to the irresistible and self-evident ‘truth’ and goodness of
the American Creed that ‘is marching on’ through the world for its salvation.
An
ensample of each of these conclusions (mash the paths included below for the
full articles). First, on sameness:
Interdependence
is supposedly cause for celebration in our era, and there can be no doubt that
the peoples of Earth are more interconnected now than they ever were before.
Today, the culture of the so-called developed world is governed by
ideas of egalitarianism and materialist cosmopolitanism. It’s believed more
honorable to call oneself a “citizen of the world” than a staunch defender of
any one tribe or group, because by definition, drawing a line of preference
for those within one’s own group would imply that some faraway other is
excluded. A centuries-old trend of assimilation in the interests of
economic progress is reaching its apex, set to become one of the primary
sociological concerns in the near future.
As
we see in the jungles of Brazil and
the streets
of Europe alike, native populations are quickly becoming foreigners in
their own lands, their environments radically changing before their eyes. We
often hear that the West must absorb more immigrants to support an aging
population at home, or that indigenous tribes ought to relocate from their
ancestral lands in order to feed some other land’s addiction to natural
resources. Now, there are serious doubts as to the long-term effects of an
unrestrained and constantly-burgeoning global economy of material wealth, one
driven by the globalist principle of free movement of human capital. As a
result, the world is
quickly becoming one and the same, while individual cultures and
ethnicities are either bred out of existence or forcibly assimilated into the
mass. Yet we see that this renewed focus on tradition is paving the way for
events like the recent rise in popularity of identitarian parties in
Europe or the avowed dedication to traditional values and customs by world
leaders, as echoed in the rhetoric of Vladimir
Putin of Russia or India’s
Nahrendra Mohdi.

Secondly,
on the forcible conversion of the world to Americanism:
Dejan
“Deki” Beric is a Serbian
volunteer fighter serving with the Novorussia Armed Forces in defense of
the Donbass. In this interview
with journalist Ivan Maksimovic, Beric, a sniper, explains his motivations and
the political atmosphere in his homeland. For centuries now Serbs and Russians
have fought alongside one another, and the journey of Beric and other Serbs can
be viewed as a continuation of this fraternal bond. Translated by Mark Hackard.

Why
are you here in Novorussia? What was your motive in coming to the edge of the
world, about which we knew almost nothing until recently, in order to risk your
life? How and because of what?
I’ve
told why I’m in Novorussia many times already. So I’ll be brief right now. I
came to help our Orthodox brothers and fight against the NATO criminals who
bombed our land, just as more than anyone they have saber-rattled and
threatened to attack Crimea. I had forgotten
then the fact that NATO and the countries supporting this organization are the
usual cowards. They can enter a conflict only where there’s the possibility of
bombing from afar, if possible against 90% civilian targets to sow fear and
panic. So they haven’t directly participated, but their influence is clearly
visible here. And so several American officers were wounded here. They weren’t
in battle – they’re located a bit further from the frontline and explain how
important it is to destroy civilian targets. I’ve heard this from more than one
Ukrainian POW, with a multitude repeating the same words.

Let
us be careful who and what we honor.
