Julius Evola’s Unconventional Traditionalism –

Julius Evola’s Unconventional Traditionalism –

“[Julius Evola] was a very strange person. A man of great intelligence, who understood a great deal – a great deal, but not all – of the Traditional perspective through Arturo Reghini. He encountered Guénon, had read all the books of Guénon.

“Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other.

Olympic Bunkum –

“Everything we have been told about the Olympic legacy turns out to be bunkum. the Games are supposed to encourage us to play sport; they are meant to produce resounding economic benefits and to help the poor and needy. It’s all untrue. As the evictions in London begin [for the 2012 Summer Games], a new report shows that the only certain Olympic legacy is a transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich.” – George...

Although plenty of other ‘relative unknowns’ have made the jump from Congress or a governorship to the Oval Office, none of them were visible minorities or able to galvanize public sentiment nearly as well as Obama.
