The
Mythos of Vindex
Part One: Vindex and The Defeat of The Magian
Mythos, in the context of this work, refers to an intimation, or
intuition, of an aspect of the Numen, presenced as this is in words
which relate an archetypal legend or an archetypal premonition/prophecy
of some future events.
Vindex is the name of one such numinous prophecy of the near future: an
archetypal figure who, by practical deeds, brings-into-being a new way
of life and who confronts, and who defeats, through force of arms,
those forces which represent the dishonour and the impersonal tyranny
so manifest in the modern world, especially in what it is convenient to
call "the West".
Vindex thus represents, par
excellence, what is numinous, and restores
the balance that has been lost; lost because of the imposition of
un-numinous, impersonal, and tyrannical, abstractions. As mentioned
elsewhere (for instance, in Honour:
The Practical Foundation of The Numinous Way, and The Way of The Warrior
), personal honour is one
primary manifestation of the numinous, and it is personal honour that
the abstract impersonal laws of all large modern "nation-States" take
away, reducing the individual, as such States do, to a mere
characterless often debt-ridden lackey or drone who is expected to toil
to pay the taxes that the State imposes, which taxes are nothing more
than a government run protection-racket, and which taxes keep the whole
rotten, corrupt System of corrupt dishonourable politicians, and their
flunkeys, going.
Personal honour is the way of the noble warrior - the way of the
characterful men and women who have learnt from practical experience,
who rely on themselves to solve their own problems and disputes, and
for whom personal honour is the only law of true justice. The abstract
law of the modern States is the way made for the supine masses who are
made to rely on "the State" to solve their problems and their disputes,
and who are for the most part manipulated and moulded by a powerful,
arrogant, and often wealthy and privileged (not to say innately
cowardly and dishonourable), self-appointed elite, which elite -
through their use and control of, or influence over, such things as the
Media, the entertainment industry, advertising, business, banking, and
politicians and political parties - have manufactured the soul-less
mostly urban societies of the modern industrialized so-called
"democratic" world where some abstract "progress" has become a god to
be worshipped and obeyed, where the mumbo-jumbo of usurious banking has
hypnotized generation after generation, and where the impersonal
manufactured law of mostly corrupt and dishonourable and self-serving
politicians is stupidly regarding as representing "justice".
In brief, Vindex restores to the modern world the fundamental principle
of true, natural justice: the personal justice based on the rule of
personal honour, which thus gives to the individual a genuine freedom.
For it is this natural, and human, justice, which the modern State has
usurped, making the individual powerless before "the might of the
State", for there are no so-called "individual rights" which the mighty
State cannot take away or suspend or ignore or legislate away, and no
area where the State cannot interfere or impose its will, as is so
evident by the ever-increasing power and authority given by the State
to its minions, such as the Police force and the Security services,
which Police force and which Security personnel, can arrest, detain,
forcibly restrain, and imprison - that is, take away the dignity and
personal honour - of any individual provided some other minion of the
State believes or assumes there is some "just cause", according to the
impersonal laws of the State itself, which laws the State continues to
manufacture, tyrannical year after tyrannical year. (1)
The Tyranny of The Magian:
The abject dishonourable tyranny of the modern industrialized world -
of the modern West - has been manufactured by the Magian, and by the
Magian ethos.
The Magian ethos is represented in the victory of consumerism over
genuine, numinous, culture. It is represented in the triumph of
abstract "cleverness" - particularly abstract "law" - over the noble
instincts of the man, or woman, of honour. It is represented in the
triumph of vulgar mass entertainment over spontaneous family and small
community events. It is manifest by the triumph of urban haste and
impoliteness over the possession of rural manners. It is manifest in
the triumph of loans and usurious debt over thrift. It is represented
in the triumph of indecency and profanity over modesty. But, perhaps
most of all, it is represented in the destruction of the slow, rural,
way of life - work involving manual labour and/or the labour of animals
- and its replacement by the industry and machines of Homo Hubris, made
possible by a rampant capitalism and the abject and large-scale
exploitation of people and natural resources by modern States and their
privileged oligarchies. (2)
For the industrialized nations of the West are the original abode of
Homo Hubris: that new sub-species of the genus, Homo, which new
sub-species has evolved out of the industrial revolution and the
imposition of both capitalism and what is called democracy. This new
rapacious denizen - this creation of the modern West (3) - is
distinguished
by their profane "lack of numinous balance", by a lack of knowing of
and feeling for the numinous; by a personal arrogance, by a lack of
manners, and by that lack of respect for anything other than
strength/power and/or their own gratification. And it was to satiate
and satisfy and to use and control Homo Hubris that the Magian and
their acolytes manufactured the vacuous, profane, vulgar mass
entertainment industry - and mass "culture" - of the modern West, just
as it is the Magian-controlled Media, and the "spin", the propaganda,
of politicians who have been assessed and accepted by the Magian cabal,
which keeps Homo Hubris almost totally unaware, and uncaring, of the
reality of the modern world and of the sordid dishonourable deeds of
the multitude of Magian minions.
The average Homo Hubris is obsessed with "power and speed" and with
gratifying themselves: thus do they love their hubrismobiles; and thus
do they love to indulge themselves with "Khamr" - with that which,
with anything, which can intoxicate them and which may or which can
free them from either the dull routine of their working, tax-paying,
menial, wage-slave, debt-ridden, lives, or from their seemingly
pointless life living "on welfare" or on State-benefits.
Little notion - or none - does the average Homo Hubris have of the
slower, natural, rhythm, of Nature; little, or no, awareness of their
connexion to Nature, to other life, to the Cosmos itself. No
numinous respect. Instead, Nature is for them, at best, a playground,
or some kind of tourist attraction, to be gawped at: momentarily, at
least, while their interest, or their holiday, lasts. At worst,
Nature is just a resource, to be used, mastered; or interfered with or
controlled, mostly - of course - by or through some abstract idea, or
based on someone's clever manufactured "theory". Nowhere the awareness
of, or feeling for, wu-wei...
The average Homo Hubris has no numinous culture of their own, for they
have not grown from a living community with an ancestral and treasured
and respected heritage. Instead, they have been given or assigned, some
abstract manufactured "culture" (which more often than not glorifies
the "nation", or region, of their birth: to the "glory of the State"),
or they have accepted one offered to them by the savants and servants
of the Magian, for there are indeed a plenitude of such modern,
meaningless because un-numinous, manufactured "cultures" to choose
from.
The truth is that Homo Hubris has been, for over a century, and still
is, the foot-soldier of the Magian: going to fight this war, then that.
Dying for this modern cause, then that one. Spurred on by the rhetoric
of some politician, or some demagogue, to invade and occupy this land,
then that one. Mesmerized by and following one abstract crusade after
another; mesmerized by one Magian lie after another. And all the while,
the Magian and their savants and chosen acolytes stay safe, and grow
and prosper.
In addition - and until quite recently - Homo Hubris has been almost
exclusively of Caucasian ethnicity. For is the White hordes of Homo
Hubris who have toiled, struggled, and who have fought, to manufacture,
sustain, and to keep safe, the world we have today: the world of large
industrialized nation-States; the world of large, impersonal, obedient,
armed forces whose technological weapons have made war a very
dishonourable, unwarrior-like, undertaking; the world of large
rapacious trans-national corporations and international capitalist
firms based on the principles of greed, exploitation, and the vulgar
barbarism of the "survival of the fittest". And it was the White hordes
of Homo Hubris who - under the spell of the Magian - brutally,
cunningly, and efficiently, defeated the one resurgence of the
numinous, in the West, and the one resurgence of the numinous in the
Far East, which resurgence in many ways (but not all) prefigured, and
were intimations of, the warrior way of Vindex: the one and only
attempt, in the West, to counter and replace the ethos of the Magian
with the numinous way of the warrior, and the one and only practical
resurgence, elsewhere in the world, to halt the spread of the
dishonourable vulgar "culture" of Western Homo Hubris, and to return to
a numinous, ancestral, culture and way of life.
It is the still mostly White hordes of Homo Hubris who - under the
spell of the Magian and as adherents to the new Magian religion of
Shoah - have created the new Empire of the Magian, manifest as this
Empire now is in Amerika and its allies and collaborators. It is the
still mostly White hordes of Homo Hubris who are toiling to extend the dictat of this new Empire to the
whole world, if necessary by force of arms. And it is the still mostly
White hordes of Homo Hubris who are striving to propagate the Magian
ethos - and the Magian religion of Shoah - to the rest of the peoples
of the world, to thus ensure the world-wide hegemony of the new
Amerikan Empire by manufacturing new, non-Caucasian, hordes of Homo
Hubris, in thrall to the un-numinous, the decadent, the dysfunctional,
ways of the modern West.
It is Vindex, and the new clans of Vindex, who is and who are the only
obstacles remaining in the way of the Magian - and their savants and
servants - creating an abject world-wide tyranny which will reduce the
majority of peoples to the status of slaves, although, of course, the
majority of the new hordes of Homo Hubris might not be aware of their
true status, since they may well - as the White hordes of Homo Hubris
have so amply demonstrated - be reasonably happy with their lot, being
kept reasonably well-fed, well-entertained, and believing as they do
the myths and lies and propaganda of the Magian, as well as having new
religions, such as "democracy" and Shoah, to adhere to and believe in.
The Genesis of Vindex:
Vindex is the generic name
for that
revolutionary noble warrior who leads the practical fight against the
Magian and their allies, manifest as the Magian are now in the
so-called
mis-named New
World Order whose twin centres of power (both ideological and
practical) are in Amerika and the Zionist entity that occupies
Palestine. Vindex thus prepares the way for the Galactic Imperium,
whose practical beginnings lie in the establishment of new communities,
based around new clans (or tribes) whose only law is that of Personal
Honour.
Vindex (who may be male or female) is the embodiment of The Law of the
New Aeon of the Imperium,
which is personal honour, and who, with his or her victorious warriors,
establishes an entirely new type of culture, and an entirely new way of
life.
Used as the name of an
individual, Vindex
means “The
Avenger”, and while it is traditionally (and semantically) regarded as
a male name, with the Anglicized feminine form being Vengerisse,
Vindex is now often used to refer to either the man or the woman who is
or who becomes this revolutionary warrior leader.
While it is possible that, as I myself once wrote, Vindex will
arise from one of the nations of the West (which includes Russia, the
United States and the lands formerly referred to as Eastern Europe) -
and be of Caucasian (European) ethnicity - it is also possible that he
or she could arise elsewhere in the world, and be of mixed, or of any,
ethnicity. For what is fundamental to Vindex is that he or she is a
charismatic and revolutionary leader who inspires absolute loyalty;
that he or she fights, in a practical way through force of arms, the
forces of the Old Order, manifest in the power of the Magian; and that
he or she triumphs in the final battle, enabling the establishment of
new communities free from the now broken and discarded and tyrannical
Magian ethos.
Perhaps there is still time for the needed number of people within
some
land or lands of the modern West to arise, reclaim their ancestral
warrior heritage and culture, and take up arms against the Magian, the
Amerikan Empire and the vassals and lackeys of that Empire. But,
perhaps
not, for we have waited for well over a half century for this to occur.
Indeed, given the almost total subservience of the majority of the
peoples of the modern West to the ethos, myths, and new religions of
the Magian, it does seem increasingly likely that Vindex will arise,
and first engage the forces of the Magian, in non-Western lands, and
thus be of non-European ethnic descent, especially since even those,
among the peoples of the West, who know and who understand the power
and influence of the Magian, and who refuse to accept the new religion
of Shoah (which new religion has aided the mental conditioning of Homo
Hubris), are doing nothing practical and have done nothing practical,
for decades, to directly engage the Magian and the allies and servants.
For it is as if these Westerners lack that inner vitality, that
instinctive feeling for honour, which was so manifest in many of their
ancestors and in their former warrior cultures, and which so briefly
flourished again in one Western land less than one hundred years ago
before being defeated by the White hordes of Homo Hubris.
True, there have been a few individuals, in the West, who over the
past fifty years have directly and heroically engaged the forces of the
Magian. But a few individuals do not make a real, genuine, sustainable
and continuing fighting, warrior clan or clans. It is as if the very
knowing of and feeling for the numinous - the true way
of the warrior - is no longer within most of those Western "people who
know", so that their words are only
words, and their knowledge and understanding is the empty knowledge and
the feeble understanding of those too world-weary to care, anymore; as
if they are the last dying remnants of a once heroic, but now broken,
people.
For what distinguishes Vindex and the new warrior clans of Vindex is
their vigorous, and living, warrior belief that honour is more
important, more valuable, than their own lives, so that they are ready,
eager and indeed more than willing to fight and if necessary die in
pursuit of an honourable duty they have sworn to do. Thus, in these
clans, the culture of honour lives and thrives; the culture of honour,
loyalty and of duty. The numinous culture where life is lived according
to an unchanging Code of Honour, and where loyalty to a person, once
given, is given unto death. This is the culture of the honourable
individual, who refuses to bow down to any external abstract
"governmental" authority, and who has an instinctive and natural love
for the true freedom that personal honour brings. The warrior culture
whose fundamental principle is that every individual has a right and a
duty to bear and carry weapons, with each warrior individual prepared
to use such weapons in defence of their own honour and in defence of
the honour of those whom they champion or to whom they have given a
personal pledge of loyalty. The culture of the clan, and of the
tribe; of personal knowledge of friends and foes, where combat among
warriors is regarded as honourable, and where the impersonal war of
modern armies is regarded as dishonourable and cowardly. Indeed, this
is the culture of those new outlaws on whose heads the governments of
the Magian - the governments of the new Amerikan Empire - have placed
bounties, and who, in their typical dishonourable way, want them "dead
or alive" for the so-called "crime" of defying the un-numinous and
tyrannical laws and ethos of modern, Magian-led, nation-States.

Notes:
(1) Just consider, for example, how, in a modern Western State such as
Britain, the Police have been given the "authority" to smash their way
into
the private home of an individual, at any time of the day or night; and
have the State-given "authority" to use whatever force - and however
many Police officers - they deem necessary to subdue and restrain (and
thus humiliate) an
individual; and contrast that with the respect for the individual still
somewhat evident in a non-Western nation such as modern Thailand, where
the Police cannot enter the private home of an individual, unless
invited to do so, although - of course - it will probably not be long
before the people of Thailand, desirous of imitating the West still
further, have a government that will manufacture and enable such laws
as give their State and their Police the tyrannical powers of modern
Western nations.
(2) An excellent depiction of this now lost pre-HomoHubris way of life,
in the West, is given in Lark Rise
to Candleford by Flora Thompson.
(3) To be precise, and somewhat pedantic, the genesis of Homo Hubris,
and thus of the modern West, lies in the rise of the abstract concept
of national-identity, over and above regional differences and identity,
which began to emerge in Europe, and especially in Britain, some time
earlier. Refer, for example, to the speech by Queen Elizabeth the First
of England, given at Tilbury, in 1588 CE, and to the dramatised speech,
on St. Crispin's Day, given by Shakespeare to King Henry V in the play
(c. 1599 CE) of the same name, where the "nation" of England is
eulogized. A more obvious example is the Commonwealth of England,
established by Oliver Cromwell in 1653 CE, and which in many ways was
the forerunner of the modern nation and State theorized by people such
as Hegel and Fichte and brought into being after the French Revolution.
It was, however, what has been termed "the Industrial Revolution" -
which began in the early to middle 1700's (CE) - which led to the rapid
growth and spread of this new mostly urban-dwelling sub-species, Homo
Hubris, in thrall to, and manipulated by others with, such abstract
notions as "the nation" and "the State". One
particular feature of the life of Homo Hubris is their dependence upon,
and their
need and often love for, machines and technology, which machines and
which technology have at best disrupted our balance with the Numinous,
and, at worst, have severed our connexion to the Numinous and thus to
Nature. (For further details of this disruption refer to the essay Homo Hubris and the Disruption of The
Numinous).
