The saying of Ragnar Redbeard
1. Give blow for blow, scorn for scorn, doom for doom, with compound interest
liberally added there unto. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, aye four fold, a
hundred fold. Make your self a terror to your adversary, and when he goes his
way, he will possess much additional wisdom to ruminate over. Thus shall you
make yourself respected in all walks of life, and your spirit - your immortal
spirit shall live, not an intangible paradise, but in the brains and thew of
your aggressive and unconquerable sons. After all a true proof of manhood is a
splendid progeny.
2. Hate your enemies with a whole heart, and if a man smite you on one cheek,
smash him down; smite him hip and thigh, for self preservation is the highest
law. He who turns the other cheek is a cowardly dog, a christian dog.
3. Nothing that is unnatural can last for long. Every man is under an
obligation to fight and bear his own burden. If he can not do so, others cannot
do his fighting, or his burden bearing and their own at the same time with
reasonable safety to themselves. Therefore, who finds it impossible to carry
his own burden, had better sink down abd die in his tracks than impose an
additional load upon the shoulders of his kind-hearted fellow strugglers. For
then they would be overloaded and consequently unable to fight successfully; so
all might perish together. The best and the bravest only could survive.
4. Virtue is rewarded in this world, remember. Natural law makes no false
judgments. its decision are true and just, even when dreadful. The victor gets
the gold and the land every time. The natural world is a world of war, the
natural man is a warrior. the natural law is tooth and claw. All else is error.
A condition of combat everywhere exists. We are born in perpetual conflict. It
is our inheritance, even as it was heritage of previous generations. It is there
and it stays there and each man (whether he will or not) has reckon with it. It
rules all things, it governs all things it reigns over all things. It is might
against might, remember, by land and sea, man against man, money against money,
brains against brains, and everything to the winner.
5. The freeman is born free, lives fee and dies free. there is no obligation
upon any man to passive obedience, when his life, his liberty, and property are
threatened by footpad, assassins or statement. The rules of life are not to be
found in Korans, bibles, dialogues and constitutions, but rather the rules of
decadence and death. The law of laws is not written in Hebrew consonants or
upon tables of brass and stone, but in every mans own heart. He who obeys any
standards of right or wrong, but the one set up in his own conscience, betrays
himself into the hands of his enemies, who are laying in wait to bind him to the
millstones. and generally a mans most dangerous enemy is his neighbors. Laws and
regulations are only for conquered vessals. The free man does not require them.
Statues books and golden rules were made to to fetter slaves and fools. A man is
under no obligation to obey anything or anybody.
6. Full well he knows that in actual life the path to victory and renown,
does not lie through Gethsemane's, but over fallen enemies, the ruins of rival
combines, through Aceldama. Mastership is right, Mastership is natural,
Mastership is eternal. Strong men are not deterred from pursuing their aim by
anything. They go straight to their goal, and that goal is Beauty, Wealth, and
Material Power.
7.Bravery includes every virtue, humility, every crime. He who is afraid to
risk his life must never win anything. Human rights and wrongs are not
determined by justice, but by Might. Their defeat is your strength. Through
the survival of the strongest is the logic of events, yet personal cowardice is
the great vice of our demoralized age. Cowardice is corroding the brain and
blood of our race. Words flow instead of blood, and terrible insults are
exchange, instead of terrible blows. Courage that goes its way alone, as
undaunly as when it marches to," victory or to death" amid the menacing stride
of armed and bannered legions.
8. Come lovely and soothing Death, undulate around the world. Serenely
arriving, Arriving! In the day, in the night; to all, to each. Sooner or later,
delicate death!
9. No people can long retain hardihood and independence, whose minds become
submissive to a false ideal.
10. The philosophy of power has slumbered long, but whenever men of worth are
found, it must again sweep away the ignoble dollar damned pedlarisms of to day
and openly, as of old, dominate the destiny of an emancipated and all conquering
race.
11. No, doubt those old documents served their purpose at the time. but, new
occasion teach duties; and new ages require, not only new leaders, but new
deeds.
12. Truly they that 'seek the lord' do suffer hunger, but lions seek for
prey. When an army of occupation settles down apon an enemy's territory, it
issues certain rules of 'procedure' for the orderly transference of the property
and persons of the conquered into the absolute possession and unlimited control
of the conquerors. These rules of procedure may take shape as orders issued by
military generals, but after time they develop themselves into stature books,
precedents and constitutions.
13. The race is still to the swift and the battle to the strong. Beauty and booty are
always the prerogatives of victorious valor. Woe unto the out general led
ones! "is a battle for bread, for love, and for breath, "is a race for life to
the jaws of death." (p.luftig.-"bulletin" Australia.)
14. Life itself is but a spark in the gloom that flashes out and disappears. Why therefore not make the most of it here and now — Here and Now! There is no "heaven of glory bright," and no hell where sinners roast.
There is no Right, there is no wrong — nor God — nor Son — nor Ghost.
15. For us there is no rest — no Kingdom of Indolence, either on this earth or beyond the skies — no Isles of the Blest — no Elysian Fields — no garden of the Hesperidia. No! No! All these magical legends are but fanciful
waking dreams — "fiction of mortals of yore. "Here and NOW is our day of torment! Here and NOW is
our day of joy! Here and NOW is our Opportunity — to eat or to be eaten — to be lion or Lamb! Here and NOW it is war to the knife — no escape — no retreat. Choose ye this day, this hour, for no Redeemer liveth!Every attempt
made to organize the Future must necessarily collapse. The present is our Domain
and or chief duty is to take immediate possession thereof upon strict business
principles. Strive therefore against them that strive against you, and war
against them that war against thine. Lay hold of shield and buckler or their
equivalents, stand up! Be a Terrible one in thine own defense. Raise up also the
Clenched Hand and stop the way of them that would persecute you. Say unto thine
own heart and soul: "I, even I, am mine own redeemer."Let them be hurled back to
confusion and infamy, who devise thine undoing. Let them be as chaff before the
cyclone and let the Angel of Death pursue them, nay overtake them. Ina pit, they
have hidden a trap for THY feet: into that very destruction let them fall.
Then, exultant, "sound the loud timbrel." Rejoice! Rejoice! in thine own
salvation. Then all thy bones shall say prideful "who is like unto me?"
— Have I not delivered myself by mine own brain? Have I not been too strong for mine
adversaries? — Have I not spoiled them that would have spoiled me.
16. This circling planet-ball is no navel-contemplating Nirvana, but rather a vast
whirling star-lit Valhalla, where victorious battlers quaff the foaming
hearts-blood of their smashed-up adversaries, from the scooped out skull goblets
of the slain in never-endingwar.And behold it is good! It is good! It is very
good! "Blending in bloody strife, Throat to throat, life for life; Struggles the
human still. "And in that invigorating struggle strength is renewable. Fitness to
reign, propagate and possess, can there alone be tested with mathematical
precision (in nature’s majestic Judgment Hall), that is to say on the plains of
Conquest where foeman look into foeman’s eye and death lurks, like a ravenous
leopard, in every bush. They who claim Mastership on any other basis than
conquest are Upstarts, Usurpers and ought therefore to be deposed without pity,
and without mercy in accordance with the cosmic decree of ethnic displacement.
Death I say! — Death! to ev [op cit]Life is a duel and only the Fittest can possibly hope to
succeed. If you would Survive O reader! (in the highest meaning of that word) go
to, and put some splendor in your deeds.
17. Beware of false philosophies that
equalize YOU with slave lings and dastards! Beware of fattened priestlings and
tax-collecting statesmen! Beware the tongue that is smoothly hung, and never
forget for one moment, that your greatest enemies upon earth, are those crafty
courtiers who eloquently, cunningly flatter you, that they may first win your
heart, and then skin you alive. The modern Mephistopheles is the soft-toned
preacher in his pulpit — the editorial sophist in his net-work of lies, — the political crocodile on his "planks" and his
platforms. "A trinity of hell-hounds are they! Oh! Would that they had but one
neck and I was —Judge Lynch! America! America! in spite of all the surreptitious bonds that in thy
sleep have been laid upon thee yet pregnant thy womb is with men of Nerve
— men of Valor — men of Might. Lo! the hour approached when in dire travail thou shalt give
birth unto Thunderbolts, and Joves to handle them. Behold that time cometh! Nay,
it is at hand! But it will not be a period of pure delight. No! No! — it will be a day of
wrath, a dreadful day — a day of Judgment, Tribulation,Triumph.And Democracy! Democracy! thou leprous
thing! —thou loathsome disease! — thou plastic demon! — thou murderer of man! Many nations have bowed down to thy infection, and perished from off the earth, but America! America! shall wipe thee out, —thou blight-some malady —
thou human render pest! Verily! Verily! a new nobility shall be born unto thee O
America! — a breed of Terrible Commanders! — of Grim Destroyers — A nobility purchasable with the minted tokens of money-changers — a nobility of Valor, of Power and of Might — a nobility honorable, clear-sighted, clean-skinned, UNCONQUERABLE Through the future shines the sun of splendid struggle. Heroic
Natures there lead on, as they led at lion. The Natural Man steps forth once more in all his daring grandeur, Smashing unclean Idols, defying Gods and Laws and slave-made Morals.
18. To overmaster and devour his neighbor, in the reasoned effort to obtain food and
booty, land, love, renown and gold is bred into the very marrow of his bones.
Therefore all efforts made by Reformers and Messiahs, to transfigure him into a
"lamb" are fore-ordained to fathomless failure. Indeed it would be much more
reasonable of them, to attempt the transfiguration of a grizzly bear into a
parlor poodle or propose the transformation of a bald-headed eagle into a gently
cooing turtle-dove.
19. When not thwarted by artificial
contrivances, whatever argument Nature promulgates is— RIGHT. The further man gets away from Nature, the
further he departs from right. To be right is to be natural, and to be natural
is to be right. The sun shines, therefore it is right that it should shine
— the rain falls, therefore it is right that it should fall — thetides ebb and flow, therefore it is right that they
should ebb and flow.Darwin’s law exists — may be seen in
operation — is practicable — of daily demonstration — therefore it also is right.
20.Law Courts and Thrones are (de facto) built
upon bayonets. Likewise all Statutes, Constitutions, and Moral Codes are written
by the Sword. Material Strength is now, and ever has been, and ever must be, the
true basis upon which all political institutions rest. No other foundation is
feasible. What the sword has established the sword must defend. Symbolic thereof,
every emperor and president, every sultan, king, shah, or savage chief, is
proclaimed before drilled legions and raucous multitudes; amid the fan-fare of
battle trumpets — the unsheathing of battle-sword — and the thundering
roar of battle-cannon. Two examples, from two continents, — from two different systems of Government, — may be quoted as sufficient proof of this: —Sir Edwin Arnold describes the recent Coronation of the Emperor of Russia,
an hereditary absolute monarch: — "Behind and between the royal chairs, stood the
new Commander of the silver-eagled regiment, his saber bared and gleaming." When
cannon volleys, booming across two continents, from Riga to Vladivostok,
announced the final crowning of their Suzerain; 2,000,000 Slavonia warriors
bared their heads in acknowledgement, clanged their weapons in token of pride,
and swore eternal allegiance.
21. By force all things that exist are evolved, maintained and perpetuated. Force
aggregates and separates the atoms that go to make up this cosmic universe of
mind and matter. It integrates them into forms, organic and inorganic. It
disintegrates them again and again. It builds up and pulls down, without the
slightest respect to man’s wishes or desires. It theorizes, creates, constructs,
annihilates, attacks, and repels. It is literally in all, through all, and OVER all.
22. Let it be as it has ever been — as the grim old
Norse land skald chanted it, when our Race began to emerge into the dim distant
twilight of the gods."An age of axes — an age of swords;
An age of tempests —
an age of wolves. "Be it among animalcule, moth or mollusk, birds of the air,
beasts of the field, fishes of the sea, planets, suns, stars or solar systems;
Force reigns unchangeable, unchallengeable, inexorable.
23.BE AS A LION IN THE PATH!
HATE FOR HATE AND RUTH FOR RUTH
,EYE FOR EYE AND TOOTH FOR TOOTH
SCORN FOR SCORN AND SMILE FOR SMILE
LOVE FOR LOVE AND GUILE FOR GUILE
WAR FOR WAR AND WOE FOR WOE
BLOOD FOR BLOOD AND BLOW FOR BLOW
24. Love thy kindred, love thy friends, love
thyself, and hate thine enemies with a whole heart. Be a foe to your friend’s foe — a
friend to your friend’s friend, and above all things permit no wrong, done unto
thee or thine, to pass unchallenged, underdressed, unavenged.Let thy motto be
‘Tread not on me’. For, he that tamely submits, to insult and injury is worse
than a dog: he is a dastard, aborn slave, a Christling.I’m the friend of all
brave men, The foe of all cowards; I call up high daring, I cast down despair. An
Evil Spirit hath inoculated our race with the hideous gospel of submissiveness,
of degeneracy: — ‘Resist not evil’ it whines and ‘If a man smite you on one cheek, smash HIM on
‘the other'. Resist every Evil! Be as a lion in the path! Be ‘dangerous’ even in
defeat! Courage I say! Courage! and evermore Courage! even the stars in their
courses are fight for the bold.
25. Go forth and win! Possess all you can of earth’s good things. Man DOES
live by bread alone. Be strong and fear not, for all obstruction melts away
before real strength of deed and strength of character. Nothing succeeds like
success.
26. Glory and honor be unto him that wins, but
anathema maranatha be upon the head of him that fails. Failure is not only
disgrace, but practical proof of organic incompetence. Power and proprietorship
cover a multitude of sins — of ALLEGED sins: but men and women, (especially women)
have an overflowing fund of sympathy and forgiveness —for the "Bold Bad Man" if he is victorious.
27. There is no character in history so
universally applauded, as the bold "bad" rebel and the mighty conqueror. Therefore
get you gold and land and power somehow. If foiled and baffled one way, try
another. When there’s a will, there are a thousand ways. If the worn and beaten
tracks are intentionally blockaded against you, do not hesitate to cut-out a new
highway through the jungle — for yourself.
28. Retreat not, turn not aside to the right hand nor to the left, but zigzag on. Ask no quarter, no sympathy. "Die the
death" rather than surrender and perishing — strike at your conqueror. "Withhold not good from him to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it," But withal be honorable and upright; never forgetting that bravery (which included all other virtues) is the highest wisdom — and material success the chief end of man. ‘Upward thou must rise, or falter — bend the neck or stand triumphant — bathe anvil or the hammer. 'Battle and conquer HERE AND
NOW, for behold! — to-morrow you die! you die! — and that IS the end of you. Let Napoleon’s ideal be
thine. Napoleon was Darwin on horseback. When addressing the ragged and famishing army of Italy, these were his words: —"Soldiers! abundance courts you in the fertile plains below — (the plains of Italy)...are you deficient in constancy and courage?" Events proved that they were not deficient inconstancy and courage.
29. Scorn all insolent dictation as to right and wrong. Decide right and wrong for
yourself. Get property, honestly if you can; but remember "business is
business." ("Mr. Cecil Rhodes under heavy fire for fifteen minutes, captured one
herd of cattle himself.") Life is life and defeat is hell. Obey thine Inner
Voice! It can never err. It is thy very soul. Be a Darwin in active operation.
Do noble deeds, don’t dream about them all thy life long.‘Moral principles 'you
say! What are moralism's that they should paralyze your arm and brain? Are they
not artificial human enactments, apparently sanctified; but not
necessarily natural, honest, just, or true? Moral codes are the Black Terror of all dastards.
30. Tacitus with true Roman stateliness observes: —
"The gods look with favor upon supreme courage;" and Herbert Spencer savagely
asserts that "a creature not energetic enough to maintain itself must die."
Cursed are the white-livered, they make excellent fertilizer. Truly — ‘The seed of the
wicked shall be cut off.’
31. "The right of Nature, which writers commonly
call JUS NATURALE, is the liberty each man hath, to use his own power for the
preservation of his own nature: that is to say his own life, and consequently of
DOING ANYTHING , which in HIS OWN JUDGEMENT AND REASON he shall conceive to be
the apt test means thereto" writes Hobbes in his "Leviathan." The man who permits
himself to be directed and mastered by the insolent moral principles of
the Multitude, is like an eagle with clipped wings and broken talons. In WAR ,
your chief end is to smash and paralyze your enemies’ combinations. To do this
effectually you must meet wile with wile, steel with steel, and blow with blow.
You must be equally prepared to fight in the open or fight under cover; to fight
on sea, to fight on land, or to fight in the air. You shall wage your own war — you
shall think your own thought.
32. The man who made Justice was a Liar. 'Whatever weapon your Enemy
possesses, must be duplicated, or improved upon by you. If it suits him to
challenge battle in open front, be sure and ambush him in the flank; or
straightaway make a hidden detour to and charge him in the rear. It is your
chief business to delude him, deceive him, decoy him, out-general him, IF YOU
CAN. If moral scruples and fear of "what the world will say," prevents you from
doing this, then you were born to subordination; and you had better surrender;
for you can never hope to vanquish. You MUST be born again. "Over an open grave"
ever lies the road to success. In "the worlds broad field of battle, "every MAN
is a combatant; and to be a successful combatant, he must not only be
calculating, cool-headed, and brave but possessed of merciless strategy, a stout
heart, a strong arm, and quiet indomitable determination.
33. Darwin proclaims, ‘All ye are rival carnivores! Be strong therefore, and bold, and fear — Nothing.’
34. Nature’s command is, "Be egoist, possess the earth and fight it out."
35. "He who will not fight, neither can he eat" is Nature’s savage logic
36. HE mows down the sepoys in battalions, or fastens them to the muzzles of
cannon and blows them into ribbons, that is upholding the majesty of Law and of
Order.
40. Be thou a True Knight. Save thyself by thine own high deeds. If a man wound you on one cheek, lay him low — smite him hip and thigh. Self preservation is the first law of thy being. Hate for hate, ruth for ruth — scorn for scorn and tooth for tooth. Get there, I say!— Get there! Get there at any cost!
41. Power and Justice are synonyms; for Might is mighty and DOES prevail. They who possess the UNDISPUTABLE Might (be they one, ten, or ten million) may and DO proclaim the Right.
42. ‘The first step must be, to rid our minds of the idea that there are such things as abstract rights.’ "Spiritual right" and "moral right" cannot possibly be explained ,because they are merely verbalisms without solid substance. They
are not even shadows; for a shadow implies a materialized actuality. It is
somewhat difficult to define what is non-existent.
43. Right, in its broadest and deepest sense can be logically defined however, as the manifestations of solar energy,
materialized through human thought and thew, upon Battlefields — that is to say, in Nature’s Supreme Court. Might is victory and victory establishes rightness. Might is cosmic power in chemic operation; and Man (in his own sphere) is
heliocentric force on two legs. Might is mighty and MUST prevail. It DOES prevail for verily it is as the Law of Gravitation — Nay! IT IS THE LAW OF GRAVITATION
44. A mans FIRST duty in this world is to HIMSELF , and the word ‘himself’
includes those near and dear ones who have twined their tendrils around his
heart. A man’s kindred are part of himself. He should not forget that when
fighting for his own hand, he is fighting for them. His strength is their
rampart. Their strength is his glory. The family and the individual are a
unit.
45. Why continue to glorify untruths that we know to be untruths? Why should
men of sterling worth obey any other man’s ‘thou shalt’?Let us return to Nature
for our moral standards!
Let us search our own hearts and brains for the true meaning of Right and
Wrong. We are living and dying (mostly dying) in a poisonous environment of deep
seated moral dementia, social disease and political illusions. The ‘Righteous and
the Just’! hypocrites! deceivers! Enemies of all that is noble, courageous and
manly! Destroyers of self-assertiveness! Annihilators of heroism! Would that I
had a legion of demons to wring their necks. A crucified Jew slave (terrorized
under Authority) is set up as a god, as a standard of measurement for all
mankind. That is why personal valor and nobility of thought are at such a
tremendous discount. Christendom is in bondage! Manhood is demonetized! Our race
is betrayed!
46. WHICH INCREASES THE VIGOR AND FIGHTING POWER
OF THE MALE ANIMAL;THE WEAKER BEING EITHER KILLED,WOUNDED, OR — DRIVEN AWAY."— as among men. In his "Descent of man," (page 564), Darwin makes a similar general statement:
— "With social animals, the young males have to pass through many a contest, before they
win a female, and the older males have to retain their females by renewed
battles. They have also, as in the case of mankind, to defend their females, as
well as their young, FROM ENEMIES OF ALL KINDS, and to hunt for their joint
subsistence. "Among the Vertebrates, the king of the herd (or pack), selects
himself by his battle-prowess — upon the same "general principles" that induced Napoleon
to place the Iron Crown upon his own brow — WITH HIS OWN HAND.
47. It is the Natural Order for first-class men
to dominate second-class men and for second-class mento dominate third-class men
— but the classes are self-selective; by conflict. Some day inferior breeds will be
remorselessly exterminated, as useless and noxious vermin. Behold! I judge the
future by the evolutionism of the past.
48. He who MUST meet worthy antagonists face-to-face and defeat them or be himself defeated, ennobles his own
mentality —unconsciously. Courage, coolness, intrepidity, purity of blood, and mental balance, arête
athlete’s first requisites. He must therefore be individualistic, self-reliant and calmly resourceful; i.e. he MUST be brave. The brave man is ever generous, frank, outspoken, dauntless. His brow is open — his step fearless and firm — his bearing self-poised, leonine. He looks at you without a tremor — sums you up at a glance, and in business affairs, his "word of honor" is more binding than a Shylock’s sealed bond. He may not be an erudite philosopher — a profound scholar — nor an eminent elocutionist — (nor be troubled over much with the "saving" of his soul)
but he is more than all that — HE IS A MAN. Hence, everywhere he is-first favorite,
especially with the feminine gender — whose sexual instincts are as true to Nature as the needle is to the pole.
49. O ye generations of Christ-deluded
imbeciles! Ye swarms of moonstruck meeklings! Burnt out cinders of men!
— ye bleeding lambs! One day! One day! ye shall be flung to the lions! Behold! I spit
upon your Idols — your Opinions. Now would I pour molten hell through the ventricles of your
soul.
50. "O wretched minds of men! O blind hearts! not to see in what darkness of
life, and in what dangers, is spent this little term of human existence. For as
children are frightened of fancied objects in the gloom, so we in broad
daylight, often fear what deserves no more to be feared, than the shadows the
children dread in the dark, and fancy they must exist."
1. Give blow for blow, scorn for scorn, doom for doom, with compound interest
liberally added there unto. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, aye four fold, a
hundred fold. Make your self a terror to your adversary, and when he goes his
way, he will possess much additional wisdom to ruminate over. Thus shall you
make yourself respected in all walks of life, and your spirit - your immortal
spirit shall live, not an intangible paradise, but in the brains and thew of
your aggressive and unconquerable sons. After all a true proof of manhood is a
splendid progeny.
2. Hate your enemies with a whole heart, and if a man smite you on one cheek,
smash him down; smite him hip and thigh, for self preservation is the highest
law. He who turns the other cheek is a cowardly dog, a christian dog.
3. Nothing that is unnatural can last for long. Every man is under an

then they would be overloaded and consequently unable to fight successfully; so
all might perish together. The best and the bravest only could survive.
4. Virtue is rewarded in this world, remember. Natural law makes no false

equivalents, stand up! Be a Terrible one in thine own defense. Raise up also the
Clenched Hand and stop the way of them that would persecute you. Say unto thine
own heart and soul: "I, even I, am mine own redeemer."Let them be hurled back to
confusion and infamy, who devise thine undoing. Let them be as chaff before the
cyclone and let the Angel of Death pursue them, nay overtake them. Ina pit, they
have hidden a trap for THY feet: into that very destruction let them fall.
Then, exultant, "sound the loud timbrel." Rejoice! Rejoice! in thine own
salvation. Then all thy bones shall say prideful "who is like unto me?"
— Have I not delivered myself by mine own brain? Have I not been too strong for mine
adversaries? — Have I not spoiled them that would have spoiled me.
16. This circling planet-ball is no navel-contemplating Nirvana, but rather a vast
whirling star-lit Valhalla, where victorious battlers quaff the foaming
hearts-blood of their smashed-up adversaries, from the scooped out skull goblets
of the slain in never-endingwar.And behold it is good! It is good! It is very
good! "Blending in bloody strife, Throat to throat, life for life; Struggles the
human still. "And in that invigorating struggle strength is renewable. Fitness to
reign, propagate and possess, can there alone be tested with mathematical
precision (in nature’s majestic Judgment Hall), that is to say on the plains of
Conquest where foeman look into foeman’s eye and death lurks, like a ravenous
leopard, in every bush. They who claim Mastership on any other basis than
conquest are Upstarts, Usurpers and ought therefore to be deposed without pity,
and without mercy in accordance with the cosmic decree of ethnic displacement.
Death I say! — Death! to ev [op cit]Life is a duel and only the Fittest can possibly hope to
succeed. If you would Survive O reader! (in the highest meaning of that word) go
to, and put some splendor in your deeds.
17. Beware of false philosophies that
equalize YOU with slave lings and dastards! Beware of fattened priestlings and
tax-collecting statesmen! Beware the tongue that is smoothly hung, and never
forget for one moment, that your greatest enemies upon earth, are those crafty
courtiers who eloquently, cunningly flatter you, that they may first win your
heart, and then skin you alive. The modern Mephistopheles is the soft-toned
preacher in his pulpit — the editorial sophist in his net-work of lies, — the political crocodile on his "planks" and his
platforms. "A trinity of hell-hounds are they! Oh! Would that they had but one
neck and I was —Judge Lynch! America! America! in spite of all the surreptitious bonds that in thy
sleep have been laid upon thee yet pregnant thy womb is with men of Nerve
— men of Valor — men of Might. Lo! the hour approached when in dire travail thou shalt give
birth unto Thunderbolts, and Joves to handle them. Behold that time cometh! Nay,
it is at hand! But it will not be a period of pure delight. No! No! — it will be a day of
wrath, a dreadful day — a day of Judgment, Tribulation,Triumph.And Democracy! Democracy! thou leprous
thing! —thou loathsome disease! — thou plastic demon! — thou murderer of man! Many nations have bowed down to thy infection, and perished from off the earth, but America! America! shall wipe thee out, —thou blight-some malady —
thou human render pest! Verily! Verily! a new nobility shall be born unto thee O
America! — a breed of Terrible Commanders! — of Grim Destroyers — A nobility purchasable with the minted tokens of money-changers — a nobility of Valor, of Power and of Might — a nobility honorable, clear-sighted, clean-skinned, UNCONQUERABLE Through the future shines the sun of splendid struggle. Heroic
Natures there lead on, as they led at lion. The Natural Man steps forth once more in all his daring grandeur, Smashing unclean Idols, defying Gods and Laws and slave-made Morals.
18. To overmaster and devour his neighbor, in the reasoned effort to obtain food and
booty, land, love, renown and gold is bred into the very marrow of his bones.
Therefore all efforts made by Reformers and Messiahs, to transfigure him into a
"lamb" are fore-ordained to fathomless failure. Indeed it would be much more
reasonable of them, to attempt the transfiguration of a grizzly bear into a
parlor poodle or propose the transformation of a bald-headed eagle into a gently
cooing turtle-dove.
19. When not thwarted by artificial
contrivances, whatever argument Nature promulgates is— RIGHT. The further man gets away from Nature, the
further he departs from right. To be right is to be natural, and to be natural
is to be right. The sun shines, therefore it is right that it should shine
— the rain falls, therefore it is right that it should fall — thetides ebb and flow, therefore it is right that they
should ebb and flow.Darwin’s law exists — may be seen in
operation — is practicable — of daily demonstration — therefore it also is right.
20.Law Courts and Thrones are (de facto) built
upon bayonets. Likewise all Statutes, Constitutions, and Moral Codes are written
by the Sword. Material Strength is now, and ever has been, and ever must be, the
true basis upon which all political institutions rest. No other foundation is
feasible. What the sword has established the sword must defend. Symbolic thereof,
every emperor and president, every sultan, king, shah, or savage chief, is
proclaimed before drilled legions and raucous multitudes; amid the fan-fare of
battle trumpets — the unsheathing of battle-sword — and the thundering
roar of battle-cannon. Two examples, from two continents, — from two different systems of Government, — may be quoted as sufficient proof of this: —Sir Edwin Arnold describes the recent Coronation of the Emperor of Russia,
an hereditary absolute monarch: — "Behind and between the royal chairs, stood the
new Commander of the silver-eagled regiment, his saber bared and gleaming." When
cannon volleys, booming across two continents, from Riga to Vladivostok,
announced the final crowning of their Suzerain; 2,000,000 Slavonia warriors
bared their heads in acknowledgement, clanged their weapons in token of pride,
and swore eternal allegiance.
21. By force all things that exist are evolved, maintained and perpetuated. Force
aggregates and separates the atoms that go to make up this cosmic universe of
mind and matter. It integrates them into forms, organic and inorganic. It
disintegrates them again and again. It builds up and pulls down, without the
slightest respect to man’s wishes or desires. It theorizes, creates, constructs,
annihilates, attacks, and repels. It is literally in all, through all, and OVER all.
22. Let it be as it has ever been — as the grim old
Norse land skald chanted it, when our Race began to emerge into the dim distant
twilight of the gods."An age of axes — an age of swords;
An age of tempests —
an age of wolves. "Be it among animalcule, moth or mollusk, birds of the air,
beasts of the field, fishes of the sea, planets, suns, stars or solar systems;
Force reigns unchangeable, unchallengeable, inexorable.
23.BE AS A LION IN THE PATH!
HATE FOR HATE AND RUTH FOR RUTH
,EYE FOR EYE AND TOOTH FOR TOOTH
SCORN FOR SCORN AND SMILE FOR SMILE
LOVE FOR LOVE AND GUILE FOR GUILE
WAR FOR WAR AND WOE FOR WOE
BLOOD FOR BLOOD AND BLOW FOR BLOW
24. Love thy kindred, love thy friends, love
thyself, and hate thine enemies with a whole heart. Be a foe to your friend’s foe — a
friend to your friend’s friend, and above all things permit no wrong, done unto
thee or thine, to pass unchallenged, underdressed, unavenged.Let thy motto be
‘Tread not on me’. For, he that tamely submits, to insult and injury is worse
than a dog: he is a dastard, aborn slave, a Christling.I’m the friend of all
brave men, The foe of all cowards; I call up high daring, I cast down despair. An
Evil Spirit hath inoculated our race with the hideous gospel of submissiveness,
of degeneracy: — ‘Resist not evil’ it whines and ‘If a man smite you on one cheek, smash HIM on
‘the other'. Resist every Evil! Be as a lion in the path! Be ‘dangerous’ even in
defeat! Courage I say! Courage! and evermore Courage! even the stars in their
courses are fight for the bold.
25. Go forth and win! Possess all you can of earth’s good things. Man DOES
live by bread alone. Be strong and fear not, for all obstruction melts away
before real strength of deed and strength of character. Nothing succeeds like
success.
26. Glory and honor be unto him that wins, but
anathema maranatha be upon the head of him that fails. Failure is not only
disgrace, but practical proof of organic incompetence. Power and proprietorship
cover a multitude of sins — of ALLEGED sins: but men and women, (especially women)
have an overflowing fund of sympathy and forgiveness —for the "Bold Bad Man" if he is victorious.
27. There is no character in history so
universally applauded, as the bold "bad" rebel and the mighty conqueror. Therefore
get you gold and land and power somehow. If foiled and baffled one way, try
another. When there’s a will, there are a thousand ways. If the worn and beaten
tracks are intentionally blockaded against you, do not hesitate to cut-out a new
highway through the jungle — for yourself.
28. Retreat not, turn not aside to the right hand nor to the left, but zigzag on. Ask no quarter, no sympathy. "Die the
death" rather than surrender and perishing — strike at your conqueror. "Withhold not good from him to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it," But withal be honorable and upright; never forgetting that bravery (which included all other virtues) is the highest wisdom — and material success the chief end of man. ‘Upward thou must rise, or falter — bend the neck or stand triumphant — bathe anvil or the hammer. 'Battle and conquer HERE AND
NOW, for behold! — to-morrow you die! you die! — and that IS the end of you. Let Napoleon’s ideal be
thine. Napoleon was Darwin on horseback. When addressing the ragged and famishing army of Italy, these were his words: —"Soldiers! abundance courts you in the fertile plains below — (the plains of Italy)...are you deficient in constancy and courage?" Events proved that they were not deficient inconstancy and courage.
29. Scorn all insolent dictation as to right and wrong. Decide right and wrong for
yourself. Get property, honestly if you can; but remember "business is
business." ("Mr. Cecil Rhodes under heavy fire for fifteen minutes, captured one
herd of cattle himself.") Life is life and defeat is hell. Obey thine Inner
Voice! It can never err. It is thy very soul. Be a Darwin in active operation.
Do noble deeds, don’t dream about them all thy life long.‘Moral principles 'you
say! What are moralism's that they should paralyze your arm and brain? Are they
not artificial human enactments, apparently sanctified; but not
necessarily natural, honest, just, or true? Moral codes are the Black Terror of all dastards.
30. Tacitus with true Roman stateliness observes: —
"The gods look with favor upon supreme courage;" and Herbert Spencer savagely
asserts that "a creature not energetic enough to maintain itself must die."
Cursed are the white-livered, they make excellent fertilizer. Truly — ‘The seed of the
wicked shall be cut off.’
31. "The right of Nature, which writers commonly
call JUS NATURALE, is the liberty each man hath, to use his own power for the
preservation of his own nature: that is to say his own life, and consequently of
DOING ANYTHING , which in HIS OWN JUDGEMENT AND REASON he shall conceive to be
the apt test means thereto" writes Hobbes in his "Leviathan." The man who permits
himself to be directed and mastered by the insolent moral principles of
the Multitude, is like an eagle with clipped wings and broken talons. In WAR ,
your chief end is to smash and paralyze your enemies’ combinations. To do this
effectually you must meet wile with wile, steel with steel, and blow with blow.
You must be equally prepared to fight in the open or fight under cover; to fight
on sea, to fight on land, or to fight in the air. You shall wage your own war — you
shall think your own thought.
32. The man who made Justice was a Liar. 'Whatever weapon your Enemy
possesses, must be duplicated, or improved upon by you. If it suits him to
challenge battle in open front, be sure and ambush him in the flank; or
straightaway make a hidden detour to and charge him in the rear. It is your
chief business to delude him, deceive him, decoy him, out-general him, IF YOU
CAN. If moral scruples and fear of "what the world will say," prevents you from
doing this, then you were born to subordination; and you had better surrender;
for you can never hope to vanquish. You MUST be born again. "Over an open grave"
ever lies the road to success. In "the worlds broad field of battle, "every MAN
is a combatant; and to be a successful combatant, he must not only be
calculating, cool-headed, and brave but possessed of merciless strategy, a stout
heart, a strong arm, and quiet indomitable determination.
33. Darwin proclaims, ‘All ye are rival carnivores! Be strong therefore, and bold, and fear — Nothing.’
34. Nature’s command is, "Be egoist, possess the earth and fight it out."
35. "He who will not fight, neither can he eat" is Nature’s savage logic
36. HE mows down the sepoys in battalions, or fastens them to the muzzles of
cannon and blows them into ribbons, that is upholding the majesty of Law and of
Order.
40. Be thou a True Knight. Save thyself by thine own high deeds. If a man wound you on one cheek, lay him low — smite him hip and thigh. Self preservation is the first law of thy being. Hate for hate, ruth for ruth — scorn for scorn and tooth for tooth. Get there, I say!— Get there! Get there at any cost!
41. Power and Justice are synonyms; for Might is mighty and DOES prevail. They who possess the UNDISPUTABLE Might (be they one, ten, or ten million) may and DO proclaim the Right.
42. ‘The first step must be, to rid our minds of the idea that there are such things as abstract rights.’ "Spiritual right" and "moral right" cannot possibly be explained ,because they are merely verbalisms without solid substance. They
are not even shadows; for a shadow implies a materialized actuality. It is
somewhat difficult to define what is non-existent.
43. Right, in its broadest and deepest sense can be logically defined however, as the manifestations of solar energy,
materialized through human thought and thew, upon Battlefields — that is to say, in Nature’s Supreme Court. Might is victory and victory establishes rightness. Might is cosmic power in chemic operation; and Man (in his own sphere) is
heliocentric force on two legs. Might is mighty and MUST prevail. It DOES prevail for verily it is as the Law of Gravitation — Nay! IT IS THE LAW OF GRAVITATION
44. A mans FIRST duty in this world is to HIMSELF , and the word ‘himself’
includes those near and dear ones who have twined their tendrils around his
heart. A man’s kindred are part of himself. He should not forget that when
fighting for his own hand, he is fighting for them. His strength is their
rampart. Their strength is his glory. The family and the individual are a
unit.
45. Why continue to glorify untruths that we know to be untruths? Why should
men of sterling worth obey any other man’s ‘thou shalt’?Let us return to Nature
for our moral standards!
Let us search our own hearts and brains for the true meaning of Right and
Wrong. We are living and dying (mostly dying) in a poisonous environment of deep
seated moral dementia, social disease and political illusions. The ‘Righteous and
the Just’! hypocrites! deceivers! Enemies of all that is noble, courageous and
manly! Destroyers of self-assertiveness! Annihilators of heroism! Would that I
had a legion of demons to wring their necks. A crucified Jew slave (terrorized
under Authority) is set up as a god, as a standard of measurement for all
mankind. That is why personal valor and nobility of thought are at such a
tremendous discount. Christendom is in bondage! Manhood is demonetized! Our race
is betrayed!
46. WHICH INCREASES THE VIGOR AND FIGHTING POWER
OF THE MALE ANIMAL;THE WEAKER BEING EITHER KILLED,WOUNDED, OR — DRIVEN AWAY."— as among men. In his "Descent of man," (page 564), Darwin makes a similar general statement:
— "With social animals, the young males have to pass through many a contest, before they
win a female, and the older males have to retain their females by renewed
battles. They have also, as in the case of mankind, to defend their females, as
well as their young, FROM ENEMIES OF ALL KINDS, and to hunt for their joint
subsistence. "Among the Vertebrates, the king of the herd (or pack), selects
himself by his battle-prowess — upon the same "general principles" that induced Napoleon
to place the Iron Crown upon his own brow — WITH HIS OWN HAND.
47. It is the Natural Order for first-class men
to dominate second-class men and for second-class mento dominate third-class men
— but the classes are self-selective; by conflict. Some day inferior breeds will be
remorselessly exterminated, as useless and noxious vermin. Behold! I judge the
future by the evolutionism of the past.
48. He who MUST meet worthy antagonists face-to-face and defeat them or be himself defeated, ennobles his own
mentality —unconsciously. Courage, coolness, intrepidity, purity of blood, and mental balance, arête
athlete’s first requisites. He must therefore be individualistic, self-reliant and calmly resourceful; i.e. he MUST be brave. The brave man is ever generous, frank, outspoken, dauntless. His brow is open — his step fearless and firm — his bearing self-poised, leonine. He looks at you without a tremor — sums you up at a glance, and in business affairs, his "word of honor" is more binding than a Shylock’s sealed bond. He may not be an erudite philosopher — a profound scholar — nor an eminent elocutionist — (nor be troubled over much with the "saving" of his soul)
but he is more than all that — HE IS A MAN. Hence, everywhere he is-first favorite,
especially with the feminine gender — whose sexual instincts are as true to Nature as the needle is to the pole.
49. O ye generations of Christ-deluded
imbeciles! Ye swarms of moonstruck meeklings! Burnt out cinders of men!
— ye bleeding lambs! One day! One day! ye shall be flung to the lions! Behold! I spit
upon your Idols — your Opinions. Now would I pour molten hell through the ventricles of your
soul.
50. "O wretched minds of men! O blind hearts! not to see in what darkness of
life, and in what dangers, is spent this little term of human existence. For as
children are frightened of fancied objects in the gloom, so we in broad
daylight, often fear what deserves no more to be feared, than the shadows the
children dread in the dark, and fancy they must exist."
