Dream

In March 1959, when I wasn’t yet one year old, George Lincoln Rockwell founded a National Socialist organisation in the US (see William Pierce’s splendid article on Rockwell).

Rockwell was assassinated when I was already nine years old. Tomorrow is the anniversary of his assassination, 25 August 1967.

Matt Koehl (right) at a commemoration in Arlington, Virginia, in 1997 for the 30th anniversary of Rockwell’s assassination.

Matt Koehl (1935-2014), Rockwell’s successor, moved the NS party to Wisconsin and subsequently founded the New Order.

Today I received the following statement from the current headperson of New Order:

Comrades –

I have just received word from our webmaster that our website has been deplatformed. As of 7:30 pm (Eastern time) August 22, 2024 it has been offline.

Specifically, the company that registers domain names has suspended our address. They gave a vague reason why, basically accusing us of extremism.

We are working to get the site back up. We do not know why our enemies have chosen this moment to attack us. All other NEW ORDER operations are unaffected.

More details to follow.

The System doesn’t tolerate Uncle Adolf’s followers, even in the First Amendment country! What the System does tolerate is a couple of normies, say Peter Boghossian and David Rubin, criticising the Woke Monster, as in this audio-visual interview I watched today.

When a European commenter visited me this month, we were planning what those of us who still carry the torch that Uncle Adolf left could do. I told him that the ideal would be to have an audiovisual show (say like Rubin’s) where two NS men comment on current affairs.

The problem, as always, is that such an enterprise requires huge funding, as well as emigrating to the third world (we saw what recently happened to the Englishmen who protested on the internet—Big Brother simply jailed them!). We would have to have a generous sponsor as we couldn’t have a job in Europe and at the same time be Nazis let’s say, on an Odysee channel. Otherwise… just consider Europe’s thoughtpolice or the egregious First Amendment violations in the US, like what happened to New Order yesterday!

Since we don’t have that funding, my dream of having a show hosted in the Third World (where the thoughtpolice cannot molest us) in the format of Rubin’s but with two Nazis talking about a thousand subjects will remain a dream. In an ideal world young Aryans, who are so demoralised by the System, should see that when two Nazis talk to each other what they say is reasonable.

The propaganda against Nazism is so ubiquitous that a normie couldn’t believe that this is possible: that hearing two Nazis talking to each other would be like listening to two normal guys.

For visitors who haven’t heard it, I invite you to listen to no more and no less than what Hitler’s normal voice sounded like, talking to other Nazis, in a covert recording made of them which was subtitled on YouTube here.

Friends

Once again: during my walks, the only exercise I do, my best thoughts come to me. A few minutes ago I thought that my standard for a possible friendship is precisely the figure of Uncle Adolf. That’s why I will continue to quote Brendan Simms. Although ideologically this biographer is not our friend, his book contains much vital information about Adolf Hitler’s ideals as far as repudiating the golden calf is concerned. And the book by Richard Weikart (abridged here), another ideological enemy of ours, contains vital information about what Hitler thought about Christianity.

The German Chancellor was perfectly aware of what, in the comments section, I said on Wednesday about how harmful Christianity is to the mental health of the Aryan man; and the same can be said of corporate capital. Never mind that, during the Third Reich, New Testament exegesis would not have developed to the level it has in the 21st century (the most recent interpretive findings reveal that Jesus of Nazareth was not even a historical figure, just a character of the rabbis’ literary fiction).

If a contemporary white man is red-pilled on both issues—the toxicity of the religion of our parents and how Big Business is antithetical to Aryan preservation—we can be friends. Otherwise, we cannot and certainly not if, out of pride, one is reluctant to question religion or the economic system we live in.

If someone is already on Hitler’s level, it is much easier to convince him that the Jesus that Uncle Adolf imagined last century as a historical figure didn’t even exist. Likewise, if someone has already realised that corporate capital has no flag, so it is trying to globalise society and even mongrelise it, he has already taken the first step towards repudiating the project of the nation he was born into.

Who is willing to (1) repudiate Christianity and (2) the project of his nation (see this comment that six years ago, on 30 August 2018, to be exact, Edwin posted on this site)?

He who, in pursuit of the 14 words[1] is willing to take both steps, is my friend.

'Hitler' (book by Brendan Simms)

Hitler, 44

Hitler flanked this rhetoric with a carefully calibrated propagandistic effort. He gave a speech at Bayreuth—Wagner’s city—in mid September 1923, and returned about a fortnight later to speak again. On that occasion, taking up the invitation of Winifred Wagner, the English­born wife of Wagner’s son Siegfried, he went to the Wagner shrine at Wahnfried. There Hitler spoke to the composer’s son-in-law, the racist political philosopher Houston Stewart Chamberlain, author of the best-selling Foundations of the Nineteenth Century, upon whom he made a very favourable impression. Hitler paid homage at Wagner’s grave. He also published an autobiographical text and a selection of his speeches under the title of Adolf Hitler: His Life and His Speeches. The name on the front page was that of his associate Victor von Koerber, but the real author was Hitler. He rehearsed his political positions, including his attacks on ‘Bolshevism’ and ‘international Jewish mammonism’, but pointedly deleted all negative references to the United States, most likely in order to encourage US toleration of a successful coup. The principal purpose of the book was to cast Hitler as the saviour of Germany. Koerber-Hitler spoke of him no longer as a ‘drummer’ but as ‘an architect who is building the mighty German cathedral’. No doubt drawing on his overtures to Bavarian Catholics, Hitler had himself styled as a messianic figure, whose political awakening was compared to the resurrection of Christ, and whose writings were a kind of holy writ.

On 26 September, on the same day as the end of passive resistance in the Ruhr, the Bavarian government announced a state of emergency. Kahr was made commissary general. That same day, too, Hitler signed a proclamation in support of a ‘Battle League to Break Interest Slavery’; pointedly, the main enemy was defined as international capitalism and the victor powers rather than the German left…

Despite the local demands on his time, Hitler made serious efforts to square international opinion. He gave an interview to the American United Press at Bayreuth in which he said that the Bavarian ‘masses’ would back him over Kahr and announced that he was ‘no monarchist and would battle against all monarchic adventures, because the Hohenzollern and Wittelsbachers would merely encourage separatist divisions’. Hitler also gave an interview to the distinguished German-American journalist George Sylvester Viereck, in which he claimed to be the only bulwark against ‘Bolshevism’ and revealed his territorial ambitions. ‘We must regain our colonies and we must expand eastward’, he argued. ‘There was a time when we could have shared the world with England. Now, we can stretch our cramped limbs only to the east. The Baltic is merely a German lake.’ At around the same time, he told an American newspaper of his plans for a ‘Monroe Doctrine for Germany’, the first time he articulated a theme which was to run through his entire strategy. In mid October 1923, he made a public statement in Corriere Italiano once again renouncing any German claim to South Tyrol, as a gesture to Mussolini. He was convinced that France would support a separatist coup, but seems to have believed that Britain and the United States would at least tolerate his own Putsch.

Definition!

Today I was planning to post another installment on Brendan Simms’ biography of Hitler when, on my morning walk to buy groceries, I came up with the perfect definition of American white nationalism.

In various pro-white lectures Tomislav Sunić has said, and here I paraphrase him, that capitalism and Judaeo-Christian ethics are the double helix of the mental virus destroying the West (the JQ is merely a secondary infection of this primary infection).

So far, so good. But the Croatian intellectual has been too politically correct to confront his colleagues on the other side of the Atlantic. My position is analogous to Sunić’s, but I say things much more bluntly and brutally—like Eduardo Velasco’s tough comments, to whom I have dedicated my last few posts.

Behold my definition:

White nationalism is the art of ‘have it both ways’ or ‘have one’s cake and eat it too’.

In other words, the American racial right wants to save the white race without questioning Judaeo-Christianity or repudiating capitalism.

In Spain, there are several sayings equivalent to the aforementioned American idioms. For example, “No se puede silbar y comer pinole al mismo tiempo” (You can’t whistle and eat pinole simultaneously). The Spaniards of another time also used to say: “No se puede repicar y andar en la procesión” (You can’t ring the church’s bell and walk in the procession). And the following saying can be used even by non-Catholic Spaniards: “No se puede nadar y guardar la ropa” (You can’t swim and keep your clothes).

That is American white nationalism in a nutshell: the self-deceptive art of doublethink! People like Velasco teach us how to get out of that trap: how to transvalue our fallen values (fallen because of Judaeo-Christianity and Mammon worship) to the values of Sparta, Republican Rome and our dear Uncle Adolf’s Germany…

Skirita said:

Hi NT. I just recently discovered your blog. It is really interesting. I wanted to ask you something from the ignorance and passion that these topics produce:

  • On the one hand the Minoan culture has as a symbol the Labrys (according to your article a specifically patriarchal symbol), in another of your comments is considered matriarchal (when you talk about the hero Theseus against the minotaur and the sacrifices that were made by this kind of cultures with young girls).
  • On the other hand, studying Roman law and the Roman gods, I have found that they had a very special worship of the god Janus. This, as I understand it, is a deity from the Etruscan pantheon, and yet he was highly revered in Rome and was considered the counterpart of Mars (god of war and fighting). I understand that although the legend says that Romulus came from the lineage of Mars, after he died in unclear circumstances, he became the god Quirinus, who was later called Janus-Quirinus, and came to be the representation of the citizen, that is, the Roman when he was in peace.

I also understand that the figure of the Rex (patriarchal, hierarchical and governing) comes from the Etruscans in the Roman case, and even had a lot of typical Etruscan paraphernalia… I ask you to clarify these things because no one has ever made them clear to me and they are very confusing.

Excellent article yours. Greetings from Argentina. HH!
 

NT (Velasco) replies:

Good morning Skirita.

The use of Labrys by the Minoans is not in contradiction with their matriarchy, simply because Minos was probably not founded as a matriarchy, but as a patriarchy. The symbolism of the axe testifies to this, as does the fact that, like Egypt (and like Etruria) this civilisation drew from what is called the Nordic red race (or Brünns) [Editor’s note: redheaded whites—see here]: a variety that tended towards patriarchy (also Scotland, England and Spain drew from the same race and were patriarchal societies).

The problem is the same as always: miscegenation. When the ‘red’ ruling class of both Minos and Etruria (there are paintings of blond Etruscans and Minoans in the style of the Egyptians that we saw in the post about them) gave way in numbers in favour of the Near-Asiatic and North African type, the idiosyncrasy of the society changed. Thus, the Minoan civilisation at the time of the Achaean invasion was a pale and decadent caricature compared to what it had been. The same can be said of Etruria.

And indeed, the same can be said of our society today. The origins are patriarchal, but the System is leading us more and more into the realm of matriarchy.

As for the ‘Romanisation’ of certain Etruscan gods or institutions, we should not pay too much attention to it, precisely because, after being Romanised, they ceased to be what they really were. What is more likely is that for example the figure of Rex was originally Etruscan patriarchal; in the Etruscan decline matriarchal, and after the Latin triumph, patriarchal again. As you say, it is confusing.

Other customs however weren’t Romanised, but on the contrary, ‘Etruscanised’ Rome, such as gladiator fights, feasting and orgies—unthinkable for a people as disciplined and martial as the Latins!

I would summarise by saying that both Etruria and Minos were almost certainly founded as patriarchates, and that they became matriarchates with the decline of those civilisations, which is when the Latins and Achaeans respectively burst onto the scene, putting things back in their place.

Here is an image that proves that there was Nordic blood among the Minoans. Pay attention, more than to the hair, to the profile of the individual: [linked here in the original thread—Ed].

NT, a question that has nothing to do with matriarchy. Why are the Vikings and Germanic people in general depicted as the men in the video you posted, and not platinum blond guys as they were pure Aryans?
 

NT replies:

Well simply because perfect Nordic whites are not plentiful, and even fewer Nordic white film actors. On the other hand, modern Scandinavians are also quite mixed.
 

Daniel the Argentinian said:

Nordic Thunder, I see that in the list you present at the top of the page, you show those you admire followed by those you hate or despise as opposed to the former. Examples: Sparta vs Athens; lord vs slave; strong and healthy vs weak and sick; training vs leisure; Spain vs the Moors; soldier vs hippie; fascism vs communism.

But you also place the Antichrist before Christ and Lucifer (Satan) before Jehovah, the Judeo-Christian God. Do you and your Nazi henchmen confess that you are Satanists? Clearer than water…!
 

NT replies:

First of all, apologies for taking so long to reply, but it’s just that the new comment notification service isn’t working too well.

Let’s see. Being anti-Christian is not the same as being Satanic, just as being anti-capitalist is not the same as being communist.

Lucifer wasno’t equivalent to Satan. He was reminiscent of ancient Aryan gods (such as Baldur, Abelius, Byelobog, Apollo) which the Church demonised to accuse of ‘heresy’ anyone who worshipped such gods. The ‘Antichrist’ was a way for the original Christians (who were Jews) to designate everything they hated, i.e. the strong pagan Aryan states fighting against the Jews (in this case, the Roman Empire). The Emperor was the Antichrist. The legionaries were the Antichrist. Roman art (98% of which they destroyed) was the Antichrist because it represented the glory and health of the pure human body.

I take this opportunity to remind people that Szandor LaVey, the ‘apostle’ of modern Satanism, was a Jew. Satanism sucks. It is a childish reaction against Christian dogmas. No, I don’t consider myself a Satanist, I think it’s stupid.

Without Christianity, Satanism makes no sense, just as without capitalism, communism makes no sense.

Greetings.
 

Daniel the Argentinian said:

[…] Returning to the subject of the Amazons who supposedly castrated men, and you accused me of that story, that I had invented it, well I found it in Wikipedia. Look it up in ‘Eunuch’ on Wikipedia. It says something like this: In ancient Greece, the Amazon warrior women were feared, formed a matriarchal society. According to some versions of the legend, they killed or mutilated the men who were no longer useful to them for reproduction.
 

NT replies:

As for the problem with Wikipedia, anyone can get into the articles to edit them. And it’s well known that feminists have an unhealthy fixation with male castration, which fits in nicely with making that up about the Amazons. The most the Amazons did was to go to a neighbouring tribe, where they lay with the men to get pregnant and, after returning to their kingdom, the male babies were killed.

On the other hand, I have never ceased to find this feminist fascination with the Amazons comical, because they were defeated a thousand times by the Greeks. Besides, the Amazon chiefs had the habit of falling in love with the Greek hero of the day (the Amazon queen fell in love with Hercules).

Cheers.

Very good article, but I would put ‘Puritanism’ in the list of ‘schizophrenias’: it is an anti-pagan, anti-Christian, anti-natural schizophrenia.
 

NT replied:

Anonymous, when I speak of Puritanism I am not referring to the modest attitude of the Puritan sects, but to a non-promiscuous attitude to sex, which is what once distinguished the Germanic (heathens) from the decadent Romans, or the original Romans from the Etruscans.

Cheers.

I found the whole exposition about the controversy between matriarchy and patriarchy very interesting. Although I am not a Nazi, I quite agree with what Nordic Thunder said. The illiterate and pseudo-historical feminist had to jump in and start spouting her cretinous nonsense! Progressives and degenerates pathologise the patriarchal worldview, describing it as ‘psychopathic thinking’.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The Aryan also feels compassion, but it is pure and healthy compassion for the woman, the child and the old man who are attacked by cowardly criminals.

What he doesn’t feel is compassion for the subhuman or the degenerate; for individuals like those who killed poor Sandra Palo or Marta del Castillo—unlike the progressive or the trashy Catholic, who betray the true heroic Christianity, who gloat in the defence of the criminal and the coward.

Editor’s interpolated note: As in the United States, in Spain the nationalist and racially conscious folk aren’t atheists but generally Christian. Following my metaphor of ‘The Wall’, it is not enough to cross it as the Germans of the last century did. It is now urgent to continue, after crossing it, to travel north to the cave under the great Weirwood tree to watch the real history of those who wrote the New Testament, and to watch also the first centuries of Christendom. This is a step that, unlike Eduardo Velasco, neither nationalist Spaniards nor nationalist Americans have dared to take!

In The Iliad a touching scene is described between two magnificent exponents of the Aryan world (Phrygian-Trojan in one case, Achaean in the other). I refer to the scene in which Achilles pities the weeping and venerable Priam, returning to him the corpse of his son Hector.

By the way, Nordic Thunder: I found your book on Sparta very interesting. Do you plan to publish it in PDF, or better yet in paper? I know of a publisher who might be interested.

Best regards!
 

NT (Velasco) replies:

It is perfectly licit to feel compassion and protection towards our fellow human beings (without going any further, the dozens of whites who, every day, are raped, assaulted, murdered or robbed all over the West), while that false compassion towards degenerates, criminals or Woody Allens of life, plays against the laws of the preservation of the Species, because they are counter to natural selection and mean anti-eugenic behaviour.

Since I was a child I was deeply moved by that tremendous scene in which the noble old man Priam humbly begs the very murderer of his son to return his body to him so that he can give him a proper funeral. Achilles, who had killed hundreds of people as well as mistreated Hector’s corpse, feels his heart give way to the chilling tears of the grieving King, and fulfils his pleas with solicitude.

I’m glad you appreciated the book, colleague. I don’t know how I could convert it to PDF, but it would be interesting to do it and post it on the blog so that people could download and print it at their leisure. As for publishing it on paper, it would also be a very interesting option that I’d be perfectly willing to do. I’m all ears if you have any suggestions.[1]

Regards!
 

Sigfrido said:

As Stoddard said, the problem is that the criminal, the subhuman, multiplies. The dysgenic measures of the system make this aberration possible.

Since I mentioned the case of Marta del Castillo, the latest news says that the main suspect raped her and then killed her. I would beat the shit out of those bastards, and then put them on a military plane and drop them without a parachute over the Atlantic! Of course, the progressive scumbags will continue to defend the ‘human’ nature of these vermin.
 

NT replies:

Stoddard and so many other American, English and German eugenicists warned us that the lower classes (we are talking about a biological criterion, not an economic one, although they are related to a certain extent) are less intelligent, less healthy, less pure and with fewer resources reproduce faster than the upper classes who have a precious genetic inheritance to pass on. This is precisely due to the compassion translated into aid for the dregs of society (immigrants, pseudo-gypsies) while the social nucleus that has built these advantages doesn’t benefit from them. It is taken for granted that they must make a living without any help from this sinister anti-State.

What makes me laugh at these compassionate-Pharisee progressives is that if it was their little girl who had been outraged by a sick pig, they would be the first to stand at the front row of the trial with a muzzle on, foaming at the mouth and screaming for ‘DEATH PENALTY’.
 

Sigfrido said:

Eugenicists like Stoddard, Lundborg, Günther, etc., were right. The subsidies to the trash (who can’t even be described as poor, since they are lumpen) facilitate the multiplication of the biological waste, while on the other hand, the high taxes and the polluting progressive ideas make the most valuable not breed as they should.

The other day I heard that filthy, deformed, pro-green spawn, María Antonia Iglesias, viciously attacked those who demanded life imprisonment for the canis in Seville who killed Marta. She said that asking for that is ‘inhuman’. I am disgusted by these bitches who pity subhuman bipedal vermin!

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate in Adecaf’s La Comunidad del Diálogo. It is a forum set up by some Catalan NRs. I disagree quite a lot with their NR ideas but they are good people, well-educated and there are also others of different ideologies, including Nazis. It’s the only real forum on the net, and nobody gets banned.

There’s a comment posted before mine on the page you just put up. Don’t miss it:

I can’t believe it! Now I see why matriarchy never prospered. In those societies they are all a bunch of mediocrities and conformists. Only pleasures and promiscuities reign; war, ambition, sacrifice, honour, hardening and heroism are unknown. Men are cowards, very happy to be subordinates and ignore the dignity of responsibility, pampered weaklings. That’s how things would be if women ruled: a happy but rotten world.

 
Suevo said:

What’s your opinion of the Basque matriarchy?
 

NT replies:

Well, the Basque matriarchy thing is relative, because the Basques already have enough miscegenation, but they were originally a pre-Indo-European people who were indeed matriarchal. The man went to live with the woman after marriage.

I think that these sinister matriarchal-lunar reminiscences have a lot to do with modern Basque terrorism. Those pre-Indo-European ETAs are a bunch of obsessed and repressed neurotics, and the Basque problem is not a political issue, it is a racial issue.

In the Basque Country, we often have the best and the worst of the country. On the one hand, non-Aryan vestiges such as pathetic separatism and its ugly language, and on the other hand we have brave Basques who are worth their weight in gold, such as Blas de Lezo (18th century) or Josué Estébanez (the comrade who defended himself against 60 thugs in the Madrid metro).

Matriarchy is a cancer that is being revived in this era of pacifism and miscegenation. Still, it is not solved by simply eradicating it but by going to its cause, which is the mixing of blood. When a racial policy of selection makes the blood of the Aryan invaders predominate again, matriarchy will be a thing of the past.

An example of an Indigenous tribe here [Argentina and Chile] could be the Mapuche people. They are matriarchal and the Spanish and then the Criollos didn’t try to exterminate them. They are still here. I think that with the looks that they mostly tend to give to those who are not of their ethnicity, they give you the evil eye. The truth is that they are nothing like the European matriarchies, the Mapuches were warriors and in fact ‘mapuchized’ many other tribes that were patriarchal. […]
 

NT replies:

Well, you have simply placed a matriarchal order above no order. I place patriarchal order above matriarchal order. Both the Mapuche and the Indian tribes of the Southern Cone (and the whole of the Americas) were unevolved peoples and far inferior to the European invaders. Let’s look at examples of the matriarchy you describe [not quoted in this translation of that Spanish thread—Ed.].

I don’t give a damn about those villages. I address myself to peoples of White Race and aggressive, expansive, solar and heroic culture where courage, the Army and triumphant death are the cornerstones of existence. No wonder patriarchy prevails over matriarchy through military conquest with guns and torches in hand, while matriarchy prevails over patriarchy through miscegenation and decadence.

Fortunately, the harshness of times to come will bring about a revival of the Aryan Patriarchy.

Eduardo Velasco Nordicism

Eduardo

Why am I honouring Eduardo Velasco’s memory these days to the extent of translating, from Spanish to English, even some of his comments originally published years ago in the comments section of his first blog?

Quite simply. Because this Spaniard, whether he has passed away or not, has a stature greater than that of today’s white nationalists, who are in fact improved ‘conservatives’ as that term is understood in the US (in Europe it has another meaning).

Velasco was not only historically aware. Unlike the ideology of white nationalists, who out of neochristian piety broke with the Nordicist tradition of the eugenicists, Velasco continued to carry the Nordicist torch. Likewise, unlike most nationalists today, Velasco honoured the German national socialists of the last century.

Yes: there are still some Americans who honour the memory of Uncle Adolf. This week I received in the mail the NS Bulletin (the official newsletter of the New Order), which opens with a splendid quote from Mein Kampf (Volume 2, page 403 in the Manheim translation):

There is only one holiest human right, and this right is at the same time to the holiest obligation, to wit: to see to it that the blood is preserved pure, and that by preserving the best humanity, to create the possibility of a nobler development of these beings.

Unlike Velasco’s POV, the mainstream ideology of the American racial right, reluctant to make distinctions between Mudbloods and Nordics, violates the above quote in terms of keeping their blood pure.

In the 21st century, we racists should go back to thinking like the Nazis did. In rejecting something as elementary as Nordicism, proponents of the contemporary racial right are intellectually or morally deficient. Or perhaps they are lacking in both. By the standards of some of them even I would be considered ‘white’! While one who has his bloodline compromised by southie pieces of trash may be a priest of the holy words, as priests we should never ally ourselves with the anti-Nordicists, since their neochristian piety would exterminate what we hold most dear (think of the Parrish image I chose for the featured post, ‘The Wall’).

I know very little about Velasco. When we corresponded some years ago it was only to let him know that I was translating some of his major articles. Still, we exchanged no personal information in our epistolary and I never imagined that he would disappear so soon, along with his webzine.

The day before yesterday I posted what little I know about Velasco thanks to one of the commenters on my Spanish blog. Whoever has read it won’t need to read the following paragraphs, which I have cut from that entry and pasted into this one so that what I think about Velasco will remain in a single post.

On Thursday I wrote:

I have posted the English translation of an article by Eduardo Velasco on patriarchy and matriarchy that was published sixteen years ago. As I said in a note at the end of the translated article, Velasco was the mastermind behind the webzine Evropa Soberana, which the System banned in 2021. In my Spanish blog, a commenter who dealt with Eduardo Velasco on the internet informed me that Velasco was a Galician, a soldier by profession and married with a son. I have no way of corroborating that information because since 2018 Velasco has not answered my emails.

The commenter also informed me that Nordic Thunder was the blog that Velasco had before moving later to Evropa Soberana; that Nordic Thunder was a somewhat more informal blog but due to the great reception it had in the Spanish-speaking subculture of the internet, Velasco decided to transform it into Evropa Soberana giving it a more professional touch.

The commenter also let me know that Velasco used to comment in the Burbuja forum under the alias ‘Arrekarrallo’, and that he was considered the best commenter for his knowledge of geopolitics, history, society, economics, the military world and racial anthropology. ‘He was far above the rest of the forum members, and we are talking about a [Spanish-speaking] forum that at that time had a very high cultural level. One of his most remembered threads was one where he gave the names of many of the companies, banks, associations and shady companies responsible for pressuring politicians to bring third-world immigrants to Spain’.

Unfortunately, Velasco was censored and at the same time his Burbuja account was deleted together with his comments. The commenter on my Spanish site assumes that Velasco is still alive, but I am not so sure. That’s why it was so important to receive the visit last week I mentioned in previous days in case I, too, die—the Gods forbid!—as unexpectedly and suddenly as my dear sister died in 2016, who was younger than me by the way.
