(C) Mourning the Ancient

'I believe the time is too short. Time is desperate. It is time to stand up and tell the whole truth, and to fight for it. To organize, not as conservatives, not as Republicans, not as Democrats, not as liberals, not as Northerners, not as Southerners, not as Protestants, or religious, or anti-religious or anything else but as White man. Stand up with all our hearts and souls and unite!'
-George Lincoln Rockwell

'It is not the evil itself which is horrifying about our times -- it is the way we not only tolerate evil, but have made a cult of positively worshipping weakness, depravity, rottenness and evil itself.'

'You're a slave in your own country, White Man. Each year you get to keep less of the fruits of your labor; each year it gets more difficult to carry the burden the aliens have placed upon you; each year the cheap labor of aliens makes your future less secure; each year you retreat a few steps into the world of slavery.'

[Below: Here's a great shot of Rockwell... he looks weary from the fight, but his inner light shines... and it never dimmed, even as I type this decades after his 'death'. As Savitri Devi so wonderfully stated, when asked how she would describe herself, she used the words 'Pure, hard, certain.' That quality, of being unalterable, always moving forward, always fighting, was also very much in Rockwell.]

' "Freedom" has become an insane fetish, a crazy, illogical shibboleth toward which everybody bows, regardless of whether it is real, responsible freedom such as America knew during the eighteen-hundreds, or the wild, murderous, vicious libertinism masquerading as 'freedom' of savage Africa and the American 'left.' We of the National Socialist White People's Party believe that Western Man necessarily moved left for a thousand years, away from the total tyranny of the right, until he reached the "golden mean" of a perfect balance between the need for order (and some government) and the need for liberty. We believe that that ideal political golden mean was reached in the American Constitution - not the filthy, twisted thing the present Supreme Court had made of it, but the original, magnificently balanced government of laws and checks devised by our inspired Founding Fathers.'

[Below: The 'Hate Bus', May 23, 1961. The Hate Bus mocked the 'Freedom Riders', 'which took place on May 4, 1961 when seven blacks and six whites left Washington, D.C., on two public buses bound for the Deep South. They intended to test the Supreme Court's ruling in Boynton v. Virginia (1960), which declared segregation in interstate bus and rail stations unconstitutional.' Rockwell's storm troopers drove the Hate Bus to New Orleans, where it wasn't permitted entrance into the city until all of the signs on it were removed. Once this was done Rockwell and his men picketed inside the city and were arrested. Another vehicle was used for propaganda purposes by the ANC, a baby blue pickup truck in San Francisco, California. It sported swastikas and signs that read 'Hitler was right; Jew race mixing is rotten' and 'America for Whites, Africa for Blacks'.]

'I care not what religion, club, area or class you come from, nor what bit of colored cloth you wave as a flag. WE are ALL under deadly attack...'
-George Lincoln Rockwell

[Below: George Lincoln Rockwell confronting Martin Luther King Jr., summer 1966. Rockwell led a counter-demonstration to King's attempt to bring an end to de facto segregation in the white Chicago suburb of Cicero, Illinois. He rightfully believed King was a puppet of Jews to destroy America by race-mixing, destroying both the white AND black race.]

'How I shudder now to think of all that feeble, useless, stupid 'niceness' - while our race and our whole world are being brutally destroyed.'

'The only thing that I can possibly hope to do, ladies and gentlemen; is to show you why I, once sitting out where you now sit, when I was at Brown University, I was almost a Liberal, I just couldn't get down Elenore Roosevelt. And something changed me, to the point where I now stand before you not ashamedly, but proudly, as a man who bears the title of a "Nazi"; a National Socialist. I'm not ashamed of it. I don't hide it. I don't go around claiming I am something I'm not or I'm not something I am. I simply tell you what I am and what I believe. And the difference, the reason I was almost a Liberal in college, and I now stand here a Nazi, isn't because I'm full of hate, it's because I discovered I was lied to!'

'I will say this, National Socialism is the inevitable end product, logically, of evolution. If you believe in evolution, you've got to be a National Socialist if you really think about it long enough. You can't help it.'

'WE are the new "barabarians", forged to iron hardness in the fires of their hate and persecution.'

'I have risen in two years to a commanding position in the worldwide fight for the White man, starting as a penniless, unknown and unaided single individual like millions upon millions of others – simply and solely because I have gratefully and lovingly used the precious names and symbols which have been bathed and soaked in such oceans of blood and tears – the Swastika and the name of the Leader, Adolf Hitler.'

'To Rockwell evil MUST be opposed, good MUST be upheld. To pretend that the world is other than it is was self-defeating. To lie about it, or to try to fool others about it was unthinkable. Once his eyes were opened to the Jews and what their policies were doing to American there was no question of keeping his mouth shut and going on about his business. He HAD to speak out against them. He HAD to fight them. He would fight them anywhere, anytime, under any conditions, no matter what the odds. And he would fight them with all the strength of his being. I'm sure that if there had been just a thousand men like Rockwell in America in 1966 we'd be living in a healthy, progressive, all White America today.'

[Below: Rockwell from April 1966 Playboy interview. At the time Playboy’s readership was estimated to be 3.6 million. This interview brought him many new recruits. The interview was dramatized in Roots: The Next Generations, with Marlon Brando playing Rockwell and James Earl Jones playing the interviewer Haley.]

[Below: His father said: 'I think he would have liked to have gotten rid of the whole Nazi mess'. What complete bullshit. There is absolutely no evidence that Rockwell wanted to leave the movement. His father seems very spiteful. He has a 'I told you so' type of attitude, with apparently a hatred for what his son fought and died for. He says these things as if he were close to his son, yet it goes on to say: 'Father and son were never close, especially in recent years.']

[Below: A soldier and martyr's tour of duty ends. Rockwell lays dead after a cowardly assassin shot him from the top of a building. Or so the story goes... we may never know the truth.]

[Below: A press photo showing one of Rockwell's men being arrested after the Culpeper National Cemetery closes its gates, denying the hearse carrying Rockwell's body to be interned amongst his fellow soldiers. The Culpeper National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery located in the town of Culpeper, Virginia. It is administered by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and has over 14,000 military graves. Rockwell, a veteran of WWII, who made the rank of commander, meant nothing to them. They chew you up and spit you out when you are of no more use to them, especially if you expose them, as Rockwell spent the better portion of his life doing.]

[Below: A disgusting display of wretchedness. Matt Koehl, who had once worked under Rockwell, and who some believed to be the real person behind Rockwell's assassination, sells his ashes for $5.00... absolutely vile. He even spelled Heil Hitler wrong! 'HIEL HITLER!'!?!?!]

'Thus, by taking a position and making statements which seemed extreme and even ridiculous to the "average citizen," he could entice publicists to quote him widely,
thinking thus to discredit both the man and the philosophy with these average citizens. What they failed to understand was that before the movement could profit from any mass appeal,
it had to appeal to a large number of very un-average citizens -- fearless idealists who could form the National Socialist cadre.
And these men responded in a very different way to Rockwell's message than did the liberal publicists or the average audience.
They saw beyond the superficial "ridiculousness" of his message to the kernal of deep truth that it contained. While the average citizen,
incapable of thinking beyond the immediate problems of the day, found Rockwell's message "too extreme," just as the publicists intended,
those who could extrapolate in their minds the developments of the present to the consequences of tomorrow -- and of a century hence -- saw the compelling necessity of his demands.
But such men are rather sparsely distributed throughout the population, and to reach them Rockwell needed to cast his net very wide; this the publicists helped him do while they thought to smear him.

Rockwell also understood that the image of him being erected in the minds of the masses, while a liability now,
had a value for the future, when conditions had ripened so that at least some of those masses were ready for an "extremist."'
-Dr. William Luther Pierce
