History

Knowledge of History is not only knowledge of the world, it is the knowledge of the soul, and the knowledge of everything. History is the World as itself.

On Violence

To rule out violence in the seeking of freedom is cowardice. Those who ask us to respond to violence with non-violence are asking us to go against the Natural. If freedom is Just, those seeking it could never commit violence unjustly. The non-violence movement is a Conditioning Mechanism instituted by those in power.
True freedom is attained by any means necessary.

Featured Poem

The Featured Poem is by Thomas Hardy.

DRUMMER HODGE

I

They throw in Drummer Hodge, to rest

Uncoffined - just as found:

His landmark is a kopje-crest

That breaks the veldt around;

And foreign constellations west

Each night above his mound.

II

Young Hodge the Drummer never knew -

Fresh from his Wessex home -

The meaning of the broad Karoo,

The Bush, the dusty loam,

And why uprose to nightly view

Strange stars amid the gloam.

III

Yet portion of that unknown plain

Will Hodge forever be;

His homely Northern breast and brain

Grow to some Southern tree,

And strange-eyed constellations reign

His stars eternally.
