The first issue of Ab Aeterno: Journal of the Academy of Social and Political Research has just appeared.

Ab Aeterno (which means “from the most remote antiquity”) is a joint venture sponsored by nationalists of Greek, Italian, Australian, and New Zealand origins — Dimitris Michalopoulos, José Maria Ingrassia, Jim Saleam, and Kerry Bolton, respectively.

The last two figures should be recognizable to English-speaking nationalists. Jim Saleam is a director of the Australia First Party and a leading ideologue of Australian nationalism. His former website was a treasure trove of texts pertinent to the white nationalist cause, some of which have been re-posted at the Australia First site.

Kerry Bolton, whose work have appeared at TOQ Online, is a one-man think-tank, whose knowledge of our history and whose contribution to our understanding of contemporary developments are matched by few others. He is also the director of New Zealand’s Renaissance Press (which has reprinted many classic writings on 20th-century anti-liberalism), as well as the Secretary of NZ’s National Front and one of the world’s leading authorities on Francis Parker Yockey.

Though the new journal is not explicitly racialist and Jew-wise (this is a luxury now denied to most publications in the white world), it is implicitly so. This is evident in Ab Aeterno’s eloquent “Introductory Message.”

After noting that the Cold War’s end has ushered in a Brave New World, in which the entire planet has been turned into “a vassal of Mammon,” it claims that there is now no future for “our Nations . . . our History . . . our children under this post-Cold War globalist regime.”

Worse, “the eternal principles that guided humankind [i.e., our kind] in its evolution from the caves and forests of Prehistory to the Acropolis, to the Gothic Churches and [to] the literary, artistic and melodic masterpieces of History” have now been lost to most European-descended peoples.

As the journal’s founders see it, we have entered a Dark Age, “an interregnum in the long process of History’s cycles of rise and fall,” where it is no longer possible to appeal to man’s higher spirit.

This present historical cycle, though, is nearing its end — an end that cannot be averted, but is nevertheless one that will announce another beginning. In evoking Ab Aeterno, the eternal principles which “have fallen into oblivion,” the journal’s founders do so with no illusion that these principles can now save us from the coming fire. Rather, their hope is that through their efforts these principles will find their way to future generations, once the wheel of history turns and a new era dawns.

Not since the demise of Carto’s Western Destiny and Bardèche’s Défense de l’Occident has there been such an undertaking by the battered forces of  international anti-liberalism. It’s obviously important that such a project succeed. For this reason I urge TOQ Online readers and contributors to visit the journal’s website and consider taking out a subscription to enable it to grow and attract an even wider circle of distinguished contributors.

I might add that it is only by “putting your money where your mouth is” that our people will have a chance of surviving the coming interregnum. To this end, I want especially to appeal to the mighty online Aryan Warriors, Brownshirts, Berserkers, and the like to take their participation in the white resistance to the next step beyond mere venting in cyberspace.

And while plugging Ab Aeterno, let me also use this occasion to urge those TOQ Online’s readers who haven’t yet done so to consider taking out a subscription to The Occidental Quarterly.

It seems hardly accidental that in less than a year, TOQ Online, in alliance with its sister site, The Occidental Observer, has established itself as the most authoritative cyber tribune of the white resistance. This is due not just to the dedication and leadership of its editor, Dr. Greg Johnson, though he stands a head higher than the rest of us. It is due no less to the impressive print legacy of The Occidental Quarterly.

For nearly ten years now, the Quarterly has been publishing the most original and innovative thinking of the white resistance — and doing so without succumbing to the sectarian and personal vendettas that have long divided the highly individualistic ranks of our movement.

This achievement would not have been possible, however, without that small handful of individuals who have used their modest fortunes to fund its activities and of a slightly larger group which has contributed the time, energy, and thought to making it such a success. The significance of TOQ‘s achievement, it’s worth pointing out, has been totally out of proportion to the size and resources of those who have made it possible.

If just a fraction of the tens of thousands of visitors to this and other racially-conscious websites would simply subscribe or donate to the journal, they could make a genuine contribution to our cause and help it grow.

In the name of The Occidental Quarterly, I am not, though, asking for a hand-out.  I ask only that those who identify with the white nationalist project do a bit more than flick on the power button in the evening — that, instead, they open their wallets for a small sum that hardly covers our publication costs. In return they will receive a quality-produced work that is unique in the English-speaking world, comparable to the best of its European counterparts.

At the same time, new subscriptions will help relieve some of the financial burdens that bear so heavily on TOQ‘s sponsors, as well as enable it to extend its influence. But above all, those who support the Quarterly will take a small step toward joining that rare company of men and women who have devoted thousands of hours of their life to our cause in the real world.
