Rockwell Commemoration Held in Virginia — Jan-March 2008 edition of Heritage and Destiny
"Rockwell Commemoration Held in Virginia
The 40th anniversary of the assassination of George Lincoln Rockwell was marked by a day of action in Arlington, Virginia, on August 25. The day's events were organized by and hosted by the New Order, which is the organizational descendent of Rockwell's American Nazi Party (later renamed the National Socialist White People's Party).
The first event was a procession from "Hatemonger Hill," location of the old Party headquarters, down to the site where Rockwell was gunned down. The marchers’ route retraced Rockwell's last journey. Leading the procession was New Order Commander Matt Koehl, who was Rockwell's number-two man at the time of his death, and who took over leadership of Rockwell's movement following the murder. A Swastika flag flew above the procession, and the marchers displayed a 24-foot-long streamer reading Lincoln Rockwell Lives At the assassination site, a wreath | was laid at the exact spot where Rockwell fell. Following the wreathlaying, an honor guard stood at attention in a silent vigil. During the vigil, Arlington County police officers arrived in response to calls from alarmed citizens, who were startled by the sight of Swastika-carrying National Socialists. In previous years, the police had harassed the New Order activists, but this year they were courteous and professional, and did not attempt to disrupt the proceedings.
That evening, following dinner at a local restaurant, a formal memorial meeting was held in Commander Rockwell's honor. The first speaker was New Order activist Jerry Griffin, who gave his personal assessment of Rockwell's life and sacrifice. Next, Heritage and Destiny Assistant Editor Martin Kerr read a letter to the meeting from Colin Jordan.
["] Forty five years ago, in the summer of 1962, I stood with comrades at Shannon Airport in Ireland waiting to welcome an American visitor to a pan-Aryan camp of Britain’s then National Socialist Movement to be held in the countryside area called ‘The Cotswolds’ and thereby to discuss the creation of a pan-Aryan structure for co-operation which took shape as the World Union of National Socialists. That visitor was to become one of the greatest influences in my political life as in the political lives of so many others all over the world.
The plane landed. Other people came down the steps. At last, at the end of the line, just when we were about to despair of his arrival, the unmistakable, lofty figure of Lincoln Rockwell appeared to our joyful relief. What a moment that was for us as we thereupon bundled him into our car amid our greetings and shot off swiftly in case of surveillance and pursuit.
We only had him for a few precious days, evading police and immigration authorities who were seeking him all over the place on many false trails. Yet in that tiny time we came to know a magnetically inspiring, luminously dedicated, exuberantly jovial man who could continually see and heartily enjoy the funny side of our grievous struggle within the enormity of the racial and social peril confronting us.
The supreme merit of the man I am so proud to call Comrade was not, I venture to declare, in the field of ideological development and exposition, but in that of depictive and evocative deeds, which is fully as important in which is the flow of life’s endeavour. Ideological development and exposition has come from the hand of his everlastingly loyal comrade, Commander Matt Koehl, who has thereby magnificently served Commander Rockwell’s memory.

Rockwell Commemoration Held in Virginia — Jan-March 2008 edition of Heritage and Destiny
Lincoln Rockwell’s summarising achievement, his supreme contribution to our cause, was to enter a political world reverberating with universal almost total vilification of Adolf Hitler - the greatest champion the Aryan peoples have ever had - as instead the greatest monster from hell the world has ever seen, and with eclipsing defiance to explode and shatter this monstrous travesty with the thunderous and chastening impact of the message ‘Hitler was right!’ - a thunderclap of a countercry which I brought forth in those days. Only in the spirit of these words, the spirit of Lincoln Rockwell, herald of the National Socialist comeback, can the colossal denigration by the prevailing forces of world-wide Aryan ruination be withstood and overturned.
The spirit of this wonderful man was displayed to a nicety on the morning he was deported from England after his banbeating entry and his spectacular evasion of capture had been frontpage news for days, and he was already on his way to Scotland Yard to surrender and go home, his mission already accomplished and completed. Climbing the steps into the plane, he turned and with a salute exclaimed ‘I'll be back!’.
An assassin’s cowardly bullet prevented him from returning, taking from us this mighty fighter in his prime, but by his electrifying staging of his views he succeeded in breaking the intended no-sound barrier or ‘silent treatment’, thrusting himself and his cause into the foreground of public attention, Hitler. The greatness of Lincoln Rockwell thus lay, in the lead he gave in confronting head-on the great lie against the Aryan saviour
of a great communicator, the superb skill of the great simplifier, and a golden flair for persuasion by dramatisation, bringing issues to attention with sudden clarity and compelling force.
So that is why you should make Lincoln Rockwell a mighty memory in your life as he is in mine. [" - Colin Jordan, as quoted by Martin Kerr]
Jordan and Rockwell co-founded the World Union of National Socialists in 1962, to facilitate international NS cooperation and solidarity. The World Union continues to this day. Kerr then give his own estimate of Rockwell's historical significance. Following this, noted White Nationalist author Margaret Huffstickler treated the audience to a cappella renditions of an American folk song and an NS classic from Germany.
In his keynote address, Matt Koehl recalled some personal memories of Rockwell. He went on to explain that Rockwell's strategy and tactics were perfectly attuned for his time, but that since then there have been monumental political, social and demographic changes. Consequently, a new approach is needed in order for National Socialism to achieve its goals.
The meeting ended with a ceremony honoring Rockwell and other National Socialist martyrs. Afterwards, NS Publications, the New Order's sales division, opened up a table where books, pamphlets and public outreach materials were available.
Among the invited guests at the day's events were Erich Gliebe, chairman of the National Alliance (which also traces its origins back to Lincoln Rockwell) and popular White Nationalist speaker John de Nugent. Also in attendance were two members of the original German Hitler Youth, who recapitulated their long-ago participation in the National Socialist movement by marching in memory of Lincoln Rockwell.

The Moral Premise by Commander Matthias Koehl
TO DO, OR NOT TO DO. THAT is the question.
In our response to this question lies the answer to our being or nonbeing. For even the passive act of nondoing is as consequential as that of doing.
We all know what must be done. Providence has sent us a singular and special figure to show the way. It remains for us but to follow this way.
Today our race is beset by a strange malaise, a debilitating paralysis of the will. Indeed, if an earlier Aryan victory represented a triumph of the will, our present condition may be attributed to the very opposite: namely, a failure of the will.
This failure manifests itself in various ways — in personal softness, neurotic angst, compulsive escapism, decadent excess, self-destructive behavior of all kinds, and a detachment from reality which is the hallmark of contemporary society. But above all, it manifests itself in apathy, indifference and — moral desertion.
This malaise has infected the marrow of our racial soul. It represents a moral issue, one which threatens our racial existence and lies at the heart of our dilemma.
It is not from lack of numbers that our race is perishing. It is not from a lack of means or resources. It is not from a lack of ability. Rather, it is from an unwillingness to commit those numbers, those means and resources and ability which we possess to the cause of a better world.
Put quite simply, all of our woes stem from a refusal to do the right thing.
But if we speak of the failings of white people in general, how much greater are the sins of those legions who have professed not only a concern for the fortunes of their race, but allegiance to the National Socialist cause — only to abandon all honor and self-respect by capitulating and deserting the field without a fight but with one weak excuse or another?
It is, above all, in the sorry spectacle of this moral collapse that we find the ultimate source of our present condition. Though others may choose to exploit this condition, we cannot blame them for it. This collapse is self-induced and not caused by outside agency
The reason that whites generally — but particularly those claiming special awareness — stand defeated is because they have forgotten this moral premise of their existence.
* * *
What distinguishes human beings from the lower animal species is their evolved ability to reason, to reflect and process knowledge as a supplement to their underlying instincts and emotions. This ability is most conspicuously developed in the Aryan.
Along with this cognitive and rational faculty, we have been imbued with a free will and the ability choose between right and wrong, based on the knowledge and understanding we have gained. It is this freedom to make choices which establishes the moral premise for all higher life.
Now, out of this freedom which we have been accorded, there is a corresponding responsibility. Once one knows something, then one bears an obligation and responsibility to act in accord with that truth which one has recognized. Indeed, the greater one’s knowledge and understanding, the greater one’s personal responsibility to undertake such action.
This is perhaps the reason why, in present racial truth, one encounters so much hostility and resistance. Most people feel quite comfortable in their ignorance. Any acquisition of knowledge and insight might threaten such comfort, for with it there comes a corresponding obligation to act upon that knowledge and insight — something most people would prefer to avoid.
But today, we are under a collective existential threat, and moral evasion is no longer an option. Every white man and woman who perceives the threat bears a personal responsibility to act to counter the threat.
Everyone can do something to bring about a favorable outcome. If one refuses to become part of the solution, then one becomes part of the problem, part of the threat we face — part of the enemy!

More than that, every National Socialist — possessed of greater knowledge and understanding — bears a special responsibility, on the basis of that knowledge and understanding, toward future generations and the formation of a better world. Precisely because more is given to him, more is expected of him than of the average person.

Today, a struggle for the future is under way. Our race is being weighed in the balance to determine whether it is fit to survive on this Earth and whether, at the same time, it is worthy of a better order of things. We — each and everyone — are given a choice in deciding the issue.
The scales of destiny are delicately balanced, and the personal decision of every individual man and woman will tip the scale one way or another. One can choose to lend one’s weight in favor of a better world, or one can elect to do nothing — and thereby lend one’s weight to the cause of those who are committed to the destruction of our race. In other words, one can — by one’s action or inaction — opt for racial life or racial death.
No one can evade this choice. It is not something from which can run away and hide. For in so doing, one also chooses — even if, by default, for an outcome which one would rather not see! EVERYONE will be compelled to choose. This is the great moral imperative which has been mandated to us.
By recognizing this inescapable imperative — but better, by taking that certain knowledge which we possess and acting upon it with joyous free will — we gave an opportunity to reaffirm for all time our claim, not only as human beings, but as Aryans called to a bright and glorious future in a New Order worthy of our highest aspirations.

Forwarded from Heydrich 14/88
“A weltanschauung, or worldview, is something a bit more profound. It is a systematic ideology — a total view of life.
Similarly, one cannot honestly describe as National Socialist someone who lacks a worldview, or more properly a National Socialist worldview. It can, in fact, be stated categorically that there is no such thing as a true National Socialist, without a proper National Socialist worldview.
Even though one may call oneself a “National Socialist” and have all the Third Reich memorabilia in the world — and even though one may wave a thousand “Swastikas and shout “Heil Hitler!” a million times over — he is no true National Socialist, unless he happens to possess such a weltanschauung.”
