MODELS
FOR EFFECTIVE
NATIONALIST
POLITICAL ACTION
A Commentary And
Critique On The Current State Of Nationalist Affairs
By Harrell Rhome, Ph.D.
(Colaboración para
TSUNAMI POLITICO)
Hello again to all my
readers. My article is a modern history feature about an active
nationalist group in Argentina, a large nation settled by Europeans,
about which most Americans, nationalists or not, know very little.
This article is also, as you will see, a brief venture into
nationalist political theory, an exercise in what I choose to call
metaphysical politics. It appeared as
an exclusive feature for the March 2006 issue of The Nationalist
Times, a courageous newspaper,
and I say “thanks” to Ed./Pub. Don Wassall and his staff. To learn
more, visit
www.anu.org,
and see a photo of the controversial symbol, described below.
These words are especially
meaningful here in 2006, when a core cadre of revisionists -- Zundel,
Rudolf, Irving, et al -- is imprisoned for thought crimes.
Thousands of words will be written about this tragedy, but I want to
share a positive story about a nationalist, populist, politically
revisionist movement. Anti-globalist movements have already had
tremendous impact in Venezuela and Bolivia, but their leadership and
inspiration comes mostly from the Left. The movement featured here
is also a movement of the people, dedicated to progress and
positivism for their nation. But they are not inspired, by the weak
and ineffective ideologies of the left, being solidly rooted in
classic Western nationalist thought, a true Third Way between the
equally destructive ravages of Capitalism and Communism. This is a
story of a seed that is growing into a beautiful plant, a story of
progress and activism in the face of stern opposition from the
Powers That Be. While there are volumes about the nationalist
movements of Europe, which are on the rise, our sole focus is on the
Americas, both South and North. I am not saying that what is
presented here is any kind of “magic key”, but join me in a brief
look at a dignified, dedicated and successful populist/nationalist
movement. This article is intended for anti-globalist,
nationalist-minded readers all over the world, but especially those
who do not read the Spanish language.
THE NEW TRIUMPH PARTY OF
ARGENTINA:
STRONG INTERNET PRESENCE LEADS TO FEET ON THE STREET
Some time ago, I
discovered a colorful and useful web site with a name I really
liked: The City Of Free Expression (Ciudad de Libre Opinion
www.libreopinion.com).
Accompanied by my trusty and travel-worn Spanish dictionary, I began
spending time in this virtual city. Even if you don’t read very
much Spanish, visit anyway to see photos and controversial party
images (more below). If the ever vigilant anti-anti-semitic groups
are correct, the City of Free Expression is a portal to over 300 “nazi”,
“fascist” and “extremist” (read “nationalist”, “patriotic”) Internet
sites. Indeed, it is a direct link to the subject of this article,
the New Triumph Party (Partido Nuevo Triunfo), PNT.
If La Ciudad truly is the host to that many sites, this
further demonstrates their positive, persevering political
activism. However, this was never limited to sending email and
launching web sites. Nationalist comrades began to meet together
for positive change in Argentina, a nation with tremendous
potential. But, sadly, Argentina is also the perfect example of a
victim nation in the clutches of the international monetary mafia.
In spite of this, a New Hope, a New Model, a New Way presents itself
under the influence of an inspiring and dedicated movement. A new
political party was founded, with election campaigns, public
meetings, parades and demonstrations soon to follow.
ALEJANDRO BIONDINI,
THE KALKI
OF MODERN POLITICS
Among the links at
La Ciudad is the Red Kalki News Agency, with new postings
each week, and a journalist by the
same nom de plume. As a
student of ancient Indo-Aryan religions, I know that Kalki is to be
the tenth and final Avatar of our present cosmic age. Kalki,
manifested as a great white horse carrying an angry Vishnu on his
back, will sweep away the old corrupted and decayed order (Kaliyuga)
and cleanse the world in preparation for a New Order, a New Age (Majayuga).
This is exactly what nationalists, today and yesterday, have always
attempted, but alas, have not always succeeded. This kind of
creative and cataclysmic change is exactly what the Argentine
Political Kalki, Alejandro Biondini, and the New Triumph Party have
as their goal. And, Christian readers: don’t get upset about the
Kaliyuga and all of that. That is merely my personal interest. The
principles of the PNT are solidly and traditionally Christian.
NEW MOVEMENT CREATES
CONTROVERSY
FROM THE BEGINNING
Alejandro Biondini
is not just a good writer, but also an orator and effective
organizer. He began his political activities in the 1980s, founding
National Alert, (Alerta Nacional) in 1986. After attracting
numerous interested followers on the Internet, in 1990, he organized
the Nationalist Workers Party (Partido Nacionalista de los
Trabajadores) in 1990. In 1996, he created the National
Socialist Youth of Argentina (Juventud Nacionalsocialista
Argentina – JNSA), attracting young folk between 18 and 30
years. Among other controversial stands, the JNSA web site
criticized the 1991 ban on the use of the Hakenkreuz symbol.
By 1998, the national campaign began in full force, later coalescing
into the PNT and the now well-known City of Free Expression, a
powerful Internet presence and nationalist resource. The very
up-to-date Red Kalki News Agency and the new party banner soon
attracted new readers, members -- and attention. In September 2000,
the PNT held a conference in a Buenos Aires hotel. The commercial
TV channel, Crónica, broadcast the proceedings, including a speech
by controversial Chilean nationalist leader Alexis López Tapia. The
party continued their activism during 2001 and 2002, including
participation in municipal elections, getting ready for the 2003
presidential campaign. While garnering only a few votes, Mr.
Biondini was a very active and attractive candidate, gaining name
recognition and media exposure for the PNT’s positions on issues
vital to the Argentine people.
ANCIENT SYMBOL CAUSES
POLITICALLY-INCORRECT FIRESTORM
The party symbol is
very politically incorrect, to say the least. It now resembles a
European style seven, but in the
revolutionary red setting, one has
little doubt of the origin. In the beginning, it was not just a
likeness, but the entire, bold, unabashed Hakenkreuz itself!
Mr. Biondini served a year and a half in prison in 1996 for
displaying the old Indo-Aryan symbol on the cover of his Libre
Opinion publication. He was convicted under so-called
anti-discrimination laws, even after presenting evidence that the
hooked cross was nothing more than an ancient solar symbol – which,
assuredly, it is. While the PNT had the truth, once again, the
enemy had the power – and they used it to oppress and silence
Biondini. This fortunately failed, but after that, the PNT adopted
the new symbol. Is there any connection with the number seven?
Maybe not, but I didn’t read everything. Nonetheless, if you like
numerical symbolism, then connect with the PNT’s seven principles
for both spiritual and political enlightenment. The following
commentary and position statement is my own, and not necessarily
that of the PNT.
THE SEVEN VIRTUES OF THE
NATIONALIST ACTIVIST
IMPART SPIRITUAL STRENGTH AND
COURAGE
Faith -- Discipline -- Loyalty
-- Solidarity -- Discretion -- Patience -- and Joy.
Fe – Disciplina – Lealtad –
Solidaridad – Discrecion – Paciencia – y Alegria.
As
I meditated on these lofty themes, the Seven Virtues of the
Nationalist Activist, I reflected on the words of Third Position
theoretician, Derek Holland. "To the Political Soldier, it must be
said: we stand before the Apocalypse! Gird yourself and prepare
for battle! … The materialists and relativists, the tyrants of the
modern world, fear Death because for them Death is the End. But
for us, revolutionary warriors, Death is not the End, but the
Beginning. It is the doorway through which the Political Soldier
alone can pass, for it leads to the world of the Elect - of those
who fought on the Way of Truth, who sacrificed and struggled, and
who merited their Just Reward.”
These are truly
inspirational words. When operating on this level, we know that
many of us have already met death, and that more are to follow.
Yet, even though strange in the eyes of the world, we are not really
concerned! At this level of awareness, we are liberated from the
fear of death, knowing that the living ideas of our Light-Seeking
Movement are eternal and forever. Even if the Dark Forces kill all
of us but one loyal comrade, the ideas live on. The movement of
Truth and Light never dies. It recreates and renews itself over and
over, always resurfacing at the proper times and places. This is
the Faith, the Discipline, the Loyalty, the Solidarity, based on
Discretion and Patience, that leads to the genuine Joy of the final
victory.
“It is the
task of the Political Soldier to promote the Will to live by
revealing the true nature of life – as opposed to the materialist
nightmare of this century which is mistakenly taken to be ‘life’ –
and by living this life. In order to do this, the Political Soldier
must undergo a Spiritual Revolution, an inner revolution which
guides, directs and pervades his life.” Philosopher Julius
Evola said much the same thing. “The only thing that matters today
is the activity of those who can ride the wave and remain firm in
their principles, unmoved by… the fevers, the convulsions, the
superstitions, and the prostitutions that characterize modern
generations.” And, he recognized the crucial need for a spiritual
foundation. “There is little hope that anything may be
saved when, among the leaders of a new movement, there are no men
capable of integrating the material struggle with a secret and
inexorable knowledge, one that is not at the service of dark forces
but stands instead on the side of the luminous principle of
traditional spirituality.” Even a few activists committed to
these values can literally accomplish miracles. Any
successful nationalist movement must move forward from a solid
spiritual base. This is evident to almost anyone who studies the
past. A New Order of Spiritual Awareness is the first step toward
ultimate victory for the nationalist activist, for the later
doctrines and principles – and actions -- rise from this
foundation. While Julius Evola spurned partisan politics, is this
part of what he meant by metaphysical politics (metafisica
politica)? I choose to believe so.
“He who knows
the truth and does not speak it is miserable and wretched.”
“Quien
conoce la verdad y no la dice es un miserable!”

A PARTY PLATFORM FOR A NEW
NATION,
FREE OF INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND (IMF)
USURY AND AMERICAN
HEGEMONY
There is neither
time nor space to do it justice here, but those who examine it will
see that the PNT is a serious political party, with a carefully
drafted thirty-four-point program for governing the nation. A Kalki
government? Probably not, but with the way situations can change in
the blink of an eye, I wouldn’t entirely rule it out either. The
PNT intends to thoroughly reconstruct Argentine society. Universal
military service would guarantee a strong nation, well able to
defend itself. American readers must remember that lack of military
preparedness was greatly responsible for the Malvinas War defeat in
the early 1980s. For the Argentine patriot, this must never happen
again. Moreover, the program demands the return of ALL territory
ever taken from Argentina, including of course, the Malvinas
Islands. The New Argentina would implement a completely pristine,
non-usurious economic system, effectively freeing it from the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) dictatorship that has maintained a
stranglehold on this nation. Naturally, like all forward thinking
South Americans, the PNT also knows that the USA hegemony must end.
There is much, much more to this well constructed program. Those

A NATIONALIST REPUBLIC
MUST BE
ECONOMICALLY INDEPENDENT
True independence,
genuine personal and national sovereignty, is essentially based in
economics. If a nation cannot support itself, then it is, by
necessity, compelled to make alliances and accept negative usurious
debt terms. Argentina is the eighth largest country in the world.
By all rights, it should be a prosperous state. If the non-usurious
economic reforms of the PNT were adopted, with a foreign policy
independent of various hegemonies, it would be. There is no reason
why the USA. (or certain regions within it) cannot be almost totally
self-sufficient as well. Ideally, such nation-states would achieve
a currency that would be valuable on the world money market. A
totally non-usurious system would require complex logistics to
implement, but the first step could be interest-free loans, within
its borders. Instead of the corrupt “foreign aid” system, an
independent nation-state might decide to make a loan to another
friendly nation in need. Such loans, in country and out, could be
more like loans from Islamic non-usurious banks. They regard the
outlay of funds, not as a loan, but as an investment, a partnership,
intended to make money for the lender as well as the borrower, a
true win-win model. There are other ideas as well, but it is surely
enough to say once again – there will never be a truly independent
state without economic independence. Ultimately, this means a
non-usurious system.
A BRIEF REPORT ON NATIONALIST
MOVEMENTS
IN NORTH AMERICA
I know mail will come; telling
me about other plans and groups. An omission in no way implies
disrespect or disdain for those not cited. I truly wish them all
well, but choose to limit my coverage (in this particular article,
at least) to the ones below. Not surprisingly, I hope that some of
the models and concepts presented herein will inform and enlighten
all nationalist-minded readers and writers, no matter what party or
group or position they endorse. Canada has a great activist model
with Canadian Association For Expression (CAFE). The Canadian
Nationalist Party (CNP) continues its efforts, and the Northwest
Homeland project in the USA also has Canadian sympathizers. There
probably are other groups and figures unknown to me, and we must
note that there are still plenty of independence-minded folk in
Quebec. My comments about Canada are brief because our primary
focus is on the USA.
The good news is that there are
several movements, some rather new. The bad news is that, so far,
they have had minimal impact, and, the most successful one has
nothing to do with Euro-Americans at all! I’m told that groups in
Vermont have seceded, but heard little more. Christian activists are
moving to South Carolina with plans for eventual politically impact,
and the Free State movement has targeted New Hampshire, but again, I
have not heard much more. The Northwest Homeland project is still
under way, but greatly deterred by lack of funds and actual feet on
the ground. If it, like the PNT, could go from the Internet, where
it apparently has a number of followers, to settlers on the ground,
this one might bear fruit. On another part of the spectrum, the
Nation of Islam continues their Black Nationalist separatist agenda,
and they have plenty of feet on the ground. Regardless of your view
of the NOI, their operation is diligent, dedicated, and spiritual.
As did American nationalist George Lincoln Rockwell, I wish them
well.
The Republic of Texas is back,
with a “capital” (a former hospital building), and other
accoutrements of a state. If you remember, the leaders of a former
Republic of Texas group are serving long prison terms for an armed
encounter with state police. In reality, Texas is a very viable
nation-state possibility, and there are some feet on the ground. If
the PNT model of demanding return of land that was seized or coerced
away were successful, Texas would be one of the largest nations in
the world. But, like many other Americans, most Texans don’t really
think regional independence is viable, nor is it desirable to the
business community. Not to mention that as of 2004, Texas is a
majority Mexican-American state. This is not to say that a Republic
of Texas cannot rise again, but the climate is not right -- at least
not for Euro-Americans (see Aztlan, below).
And, there is a healthy and
active movement of those following the model of the Confederate
States of America, some regarding the CSA as still in legal
existence. That’s fine, but exactly how such a nation state can be
reconstituted is a major logistical problem, given the new
population of the South, not nearly so white and “southern” as it
once was. On a positive note, CSA has feet on the ground that turn
out for rallies demanding respect for the old flag and related
patriotic issues, tune in to radio shows, support candidates and
causes, and participate at CSA-related web sites. There is a lot of
enthusiasm, and spiritual underpinning, for this activist group.
The CSA constitution is an important model nationalist document.
Now, as to the original CSA: it was far from perfect, having
enslaved itself from the beginning to the world banking and trade
cartel, then chiefly manifested in the powerful banking houses of
Europe. Moreover, they allowed Judah P. Benjamin (a Rothschild
agent) to hold the purse strings! We all know Confederate money was
a sad joke, but are we “shocked and surprised”? Even if they had
won the war, the CSA would have been even deeper in Rothschild
debt. The new CSA will have to do better than this – and I think
they will. Following the PNT model of just saying “no” to usury
(perhaps getting Southern bankers to make some exploratory
no-interest loans?) might give even more thrust to this movement.
CSA has supporters in several states, including some outside the Old
South. A courageous and creative alternative to the usury monster
might just do the trick. Could we someday have Confederate money
that is actually worth something? It’s not impossible, you know.
And now last, but surely not
least, we look at the most successful new nation project in North
America, that of Aztlan, the aggressive and well planned movement of
the “Chicanos” (mostly Mexicans and Mexican-Americans) to dominate
the states that once were part of Mexico until 1848, after an
imperialistic war displaced them. But they are displaced no more,
having succeeded by birth rate and immigration where their more
thinly spread ancestors were overcome. If successful (and it very
well could be!), it would claim most of the American West, up into
the Northwest as well. It would be both a new nation, and an
ancient nation finally restored to La Raza, the brown race.
Aztlan has taken several bold in-your-face stands against oppressive
government here in the states, and oppression in Palestine, and
stands solidly against the Iraq War. Moreover, they clearly and
bravely recognize and expose the dark forces for who and what they
are. As far as activist followers, they have them, but mostly in
Los Angeles – for right now. This is surely a movement to watch,
with both a strong Internet presence and feet on the ground --
eventually it could be tens of millions. There is an Aztlan
governmental structure already in place. If Euro-Americans had such
a network, the future might look a lot brighter! Check it all out
at
http://aztlan.net/
with numerous articles in English.
BACK TO THE FUTURE
While parts of the PNT model
are not applicable in all places, others are quite useful and
inspirational. Intense and sincere spiritually based patriotism
combined with a workable program has attracted a growing number of
followers. Sadly, nothing like this has happened in the USA in over
seventy years. The day of the old patriot right wing, which was
never very successful anyway, has come and gone. Are Argentineans
more patriotic than Americans? Yes, I think so. Argentineans are,
fundamentally, part of a homogenous population with origins in
Europe. This is no longer true in the USA. A New Patriotism, based
on new and creative ideas for a viable nation-state, will have to
arise here, but it will never sweep the whole country. Just don’t
expect that the essentially de-Europeanized USA to respond that way,
except in certain marked regional exceptions. If the doomsayers are
correct about an oncoming economic collapse (and they probably are),
then the opportunity may be at hand for nationalist groups to once
again rise to the challenge. They can be the catalyst that causes
the world to shake off the chains of oppression that the dark forces
have placed upon us. Devolution and Revolution are on the horizon,
and a New Nationalism will come forth in the crucial phase. True
and brave leaders will arise when the people are ready to sweep away
the old corrupt order and usher in the New. Aztlan and other
non-Euro-Americans, such as over 6,000,000 American Muslims and
assorted other ethnic enclaves, are preparing for pivotal events in
a rapidly devolving USA. I have no doubt that the PNT is ready in
their homeland. Will Euro-American nationalists be ready when that
decisive moment comes? I hope so.
