Vitalis — Affirming Life (2 of 2) “Nietzsche’s famous notion of Amor Fati — the love of one’s fate — calls for a profound acceptance of everything that happens in life. To love fate means to embrace every joy, every challenge, and every hardship, understanding that they are all integral to the tapestry of one’s existence. This concept leads to the ultimate question posed by Nietzsche: ‘Can you say yes to life, to all of it, as if you had to live it over and over again?’ This is Nietzsche's ‘eternal recurrence,’ a thought experiment that asks whether you would live your life the same way if it were to repeat infinitely. Would you accept each moment, each decision, each success, and failure, knowing they would recur eternally? This is the ultimate test of whether you truly affirm life.” — from Vitalis (2024) by Daniel Zakal, Invisible Empire Publishing Edition, p. 11 https://www.invisibleempirepublishing.com/

Vitalis — Denying Nihilism (1 of 2) “In Nietzsche’s time, he observed the rise of nihilism — a belief that life has no inherent meaning, that traditional values had crumbled, and that there was no longer a guiding moral framework for society. With the ‘death of God,’ as Nietzsche declared, traditional religious values were no longer able to provide meaning for modern humanity. As a result, individuals faced a void, a sense of meaninglessness that threatened to overwhelm the human spirit. But rather than fall into despair, Nietzsche saw this as an opportunity. Nihilism was not the end but a beginning — a chance for individuals to create their own values. He called for the rise of the Übermensch, the Overman, who would reject the life-denying values of the past and forge new, life-affirming principles based on strength, creativity, and the love of life itself.”

At 10 p.m. on February 13-14, 1945, the Master Bomber broadcast the cryptic order: ‘Controller to Plate-Rack Force: Come in and bomb glow of red T.I.s as planned.’ The ill-famed R.A.F. attack on Dresden had begun...

Requiem for Dresden

Firestorm Over Dresden (1992) On the night of February 13th, 1945 there began one of the most controversial raids of World War 2 - the bombing of Dresden. It is a controversy which still rages today. This documentary, taking into account the latest historical evidence, attempts to shed new light on this event. Contemporary witnesses, previously unheard, describe the events and the terror of what it was like to be in Dresden through the night of bombing. The film combines archive images of pre-war Dresden with a night of remembrance 45 years later in the Palace of Culture. Using information from Winston Churchill's diaries the outspoken historian David Irving painted a comprehensive picture of the time, the background to the bombing, and the strategies employed. Above all this film was made as a memorial to the loss of human life and of great works of art, and as a warning of the future. It is a demand for peace and a plea for humanity.

Rage Against the Machine “Those who today rage against technology and heap maledictions upon it forget that its appearance derived from an eternal German impulse that would have to be destroyed along with it. It is not technology which today destroys vitality. It is man himself who has degenerated. He has become inwardly deformed because, at weak moments in his historical experience, alien seductions were dangled before him — ‘world conversion’, ‘humanity’, and ‘universal culture’.” — from The Myth of the 20th Century (1930) by Alfred Rosenberg, Clemens & Blair Edition, 2021, translated by V. Bird, with modifications by Dr. Thomas Dalton, p. 103 [Footnote: “But in general, Rosenberg seems ill-informed on the problem of technology, and he accepts, uncritically, a techno-optimistic view. This, though, was true of National Socialism in general.” — Dr. Thomas Dalton]

Vitalist (2 of 2) “National cultures are the great spiritual pulses in the eternal ebb and flow of dying and becoming. Since Nordic man arises from this evolving life, and from the light of day, he is by nature a vitalist.” — from The Myth of the 20th Century (1930) by Alfred Rosenberg, Clemens & Blair Edition, 2021, translated by V. Bird, with modifications by Dr. Thomas Dalton, p. 102

Vitalist (1 of 2) “A deep gulf yawns open between our [animal existence], and the essence of consciousness, but the resulting tension is the prerequisite of all creativity. That such a gulf exists is a result of the fact that our whole vegetative animal existence is lived as a continuous stream, while our conscious perception is intermittent. Language, art, and science are made possible by these discreet perceptions, and the establishment of categories of time and patterns of events.”

Wholesome and Virtuous President Trump signing an executive order to get transgender men out of women’s sports. Despite Trump’s Zionism, I do agree with most of his domestic policies. After all this woke madness we have had to endure over the last several years, this is like a breath of fresh air.

The Jew as Vampire (2 of 2) “This is wholly unimaginable, yet it is here. Bizarre occurrences are commonplace today, though they are nonetheless bizarre. The Judaized world guarantees a type of perpetual ordered chaos — a consecrated mix of just enough societal instability to keep non-Jews bemused but consuming, and just enough stability to set conditions for increases in Jewish power. For all bizarreness that dominates modernity, however, the case of the Jew remains inconceivable — not because its actions over the millennia have not proven its nefariousness, but because the healthy Aryan mind simply cannot imagine the absolute evil of a vampire — not to write a story about such a thing, but to actually perceive the world and act in such a parasitical way.” — from Hitler Avatāra by Martin Friedrich, 2023, Clemens & Blair Edition, pgs. 105-106 [Featured movie scene is from Faust (1926)]
