No one has asked us yet what Evola's favourite food was. Since you
are in a cooking mood, let's draw out the metaphor : the name of
Evola in such writings plays the part of the spice in the kitchen of
some restaurants.
In 'Il Cammino del cinabro', Julius Evola told us that, when he was
in Vienna in 1945, he planned to write a book called 'Segreta storia
delle società segrete', based on materials which had been put at his
disposal by the German secret service, but that he couldn't bring
this project to completion because the materials were destroyed
during the air raid in which he was injured. These materials came
from all the European Masonic lodges. Their content is likely to have
been very similar to that of the famous archives of Giovanni
Preziosi, which Evola more or less explicitly said he had consulted.
Julius Evola used various pseudonyms as a writer, and Carlo
d'Altavilla (not J. d'Altavilla) is one of them ; he used it in 1965
for his translation of Ernst Jünger's 'An der Zeit Mauer'.
We do not know whether Evola is quoted in 'Le Soleil rouge de Raymond
Abellio'. What we do know is that, contrary to what is stated at
http://www.arctogaia.com/public/eng-parv.htm , Parvulesco was never
a "confidant" of Evola. They never met. They never had any epistolary
relations. No letter from him to Evola was found in the personal
papers of the latter. Incidentally, when some members of the Romanian
intelligentsia emigrated to France in the late 1930's, those with a
family name ending in 'cu' turned it into 'co' for a reason which
will not escape those who are familiar with French pronunciation ;
when he emigrated to France in the early 1940's, Parvulescu, so to
speak, followed the rule.
Evola and Parvulesco had something in common : they were both
critical of the modern world, as a whole, from what we may call
a 'traditionalist' standpoint, to cut a long story short, and they
were both interested in what Léon de Poncins called the 'occult war'.
However, Evola never wrote novels about it ; besides, there's
nothing 'visionary' or 'prophetic' about Evola's world-outlook. Now,
here is one of Parvulesco's 'visions' - taken from 'Star of an
Invisible Empire' : "I see together with Lovecraft the potting around
of enormous foul masses, moving in endless waves, stepping over the
last remaining crystal structures of resistance of spiritual elites;
I am gazing, in extatic powerlessness of my hallucinatory awakening,
at the shimmering black foam, the foam of black disintegration,
terror of democratic stench and frightening organs of these
convulsing corpses, which - in the makeup of dirty whores with a
deceitful smile, with the California beach smile of European anti-
fascists, with the smile of mannequin whores in flickering windows(so
I would define it) - are preparing our final defeat, leading us to a
destination which they themselves do not know, or, more precisely,
know it too well, on the way there with relish sucking out our bone
marrow; this is the hallucinatory leaden mantle of Human Rights, this
faecal-vomitory discharge of Hell, although by saying so, I am
insulting Hell." This excerpt from Parvulesco's last novel is quoted
by the writer of the article found at
http://www.arctogaia.com/public/eng-parv.htm , a worthy introduction
to Parvulesco's work and to his ambiguous world-outlook, who sums up
its political aspect as follows : "On the political level of the
conspiracy, the heros of the novel also act aggressively and
decisively. Spiritual resistance to the New Age, neospiritualism, for
the representatives of which (from Alice Bailey to de Charden and Sai
Baba) Tony d'Antremont offers to establish an "occult super-
Auschwitz, super-Maidanek," projects on political resistance to
the "New World Order," americanism, and liberalism, which forces the
agents of Being to weave webs of planetary conspiracy with
participation of all political forces opposing mondialism.
Palestinian terrorists, underground groups of European neonazis,
social-revolutionaries and members of the "Red Brigades," descendants
of aristocratic families loathing "democracy," secretly wishing for
an end of the liberal epoch, members of the Italian mafia, Gaullists
and admirers of Franco, revolutionaries of the Third World, shamans
of America and Asia, communist leaders, German bankers - all of them
become participants in the geopolitical project, directed towards the
recreation of the final Eurasian Empire". As any European still clear-
headed enough to see what is his, and what is not, can realise, this
is - to use an expression which Evola liked to use to characterise
hazy theories in which a few truths are mixed with many spurious
elements - an "insalata russa" (not to be mistaken for the 'insalata
belga' (literally : 'Belgian salad' : 'chicory' in Great
Britain, 'endive' in the U.S). It is needless to elaborate. Let's
just note, in relation to what we have pointed out about 'Le Royaume
du Graal', the presence in it of "Gaullists".
Obviously, this is not a coincidence, coming from an 'Eurasianist'
like Parvulesco. De Gaulle conceived of the project of a 'community
of being and destiny' between (democratic) France, (democratic)
Germany, and ('democratic') Russia, to which he managed to give a
political basis by creating a Franco-German "Carolingian Axis" in the
heart of European politics ; the next step would have been the
integration of Russia into it, in order to establish a "Eurasiatic
Empire". In 'Paris-Berlin-Moscou, la voie de l'indépendance et de la
paix', Henri de Grossouvre quoted speeches of de Gaulle, in which, in
his typical messianic tone, the General explicitly advocated the
creation of this axis. In the 1960's, he went so far as to state that
the bringing together of (democratic) France and (democratic)
Germany, of which he was seen as the author (even though this
reconciliation was actually dictated to him by the lackeys of those
who were behind the 'Marshall Plan'), constituted a new "World Wide
Revolution". In fact, de Gaulle was merely adopting a similar project
established at the end of the nineteenth century by Gabriel Hanotaux,
the French Foreign Minister from 1896 to 1898, who, we are told,
tried to set up, with Prince von Bülow in Germany and de Witte in
Russia, "a continental understanding between France, Germany and
Russia in order to destroy the hold of Great Britain over Europe, and
to promote a vast common European enterprise of political, economic,
and industrial development". What we are not told is that, to most of
those politicians, politics was subordinated to economics. About de
Witte, please see
http://thompkins_cariou.tripod.com/id52.html
In this respect, the fact that Jean Parvulesco wrote a book on
Raymond Abellio cannot be considered as a coincidence either. 'Le
Soleil Rouge de Raymond Abellio', also published by Guy Trédaniel,
the main French publisher in the field of esoterism, in a collection
called "Initiation et Pouvoir" ("Initiation and Power"), deals with
the relationship between 'men in high places', that is, modern so-
called 'leaders', and initiation. Before dedicating himself to
writing under the pseudonym of Raymond Abellio from the end of WW2,
Georges Soulès (1907-1986) was in politics, at first on the far left,
then playing an ambiguous rôle in the ambiguous Vichy government,
something which meant, after de Gaulle's coming back to power, that
he was tried, sentenced, and exiled, only to be pardoned later on. In
1943, in Paris, as General Secretary of the 'Mouvement Social
Révolutionnaire' (MSR), Georges Soulès attempted to create,
unofficially, a Paris-Berlin-Moscow 'axis'. A French 'Eurasianist'
comments enthusiastically : "To take the initiative, in the middle of
the war, of a counter-strategic action, in a continental paroxysmic
fight between the two opposing blocks, was an extraordinarily
subversive enterprise". "Subversive" is the word, especially since,
behind the MSR, there was a careerist named Pierre Laval.
Henri de Grossouvre enlarges on the so-called "predestined" rôle of
the political schemer currently managing Russia, and on the
historical-political policy of his so-called "New Russia", its "supra-
historical" and "eschatological horizons", and his "mysterious
mission". Between it and him, there are "mystic nuptials". More
concretely, Russia is supposed to ally with Japan and India to
contain China. This only confirms the thesis of Aymeric Chauprade, to
which we have already drawn attention (see message 162), according to
which there are only two blocks left : China, on one hand, and, on
the other hand, a Washington-Paris-Berlin-Ankara-Moscow axis, to
which New Delhi and Tokyo are to be added. This axis, whether one can
see it or not through one's misinformation or self-delusion, has been
set up, slowly but surely, patiently, subterraneously, through the
last two centuries, by the Jew, who is nowadays virtually in control
of the policy of those capitals, be it only by means of his banks.
Speaking of which, it is necessary, at this point, to mention that
Henri de Grossouvre worked in the Brussels Commission in 1992, was in
charge of the Central and Eastern European operations of a French
armaments company, was director of a consulting firm (sic) based in
Vienna between 2002 and 2004, and, last but not least, was one of the
leading members of the support committee for the candidature of the
last self-declared French Jacobin political schemer in the 2002
presidential election in France. Please have a look at the picture on
the top of the homepage of his Internet site (
http://www.paris-
berlin-moscou.org ). It says it all.
"Revolution can be fun".
Since the main Russian representative of 'philosophical' Eurasianism
has become lately a counsellor of the political schemer currently in
charge of Russia, it is not by chance that Parvulesco is often
praised on the various web-sites of the "Eurasianist" and "National-
Bolshevik" movements. As a matter of fact, Parvulesco wrote a book on
the "secret mission" of this political schemer. "On the basis of many
articles, written over thirty years," - his publisher, ACE, tells us -
"Parvulesco shows how Russia has changed, little by little, and got
rid of Communism, how she has freed herself spiritually to become the
leading voice of a nationalist and revolutionary conception of
history. He also explains that Vladimir Putin, through his statements
and his acts, is becoming the defender of a geopolitik opposed to
Islamism as well as to Americanism, and the apostle of Eurasia (the
union of Europa, a part of China, India and Japan) as a power". This
book is thus based in part on "many articles written over thirty
years" ... by Parvulesco himself. As for the "statements and the
acts" of this "apostle of Eurasia", this book was published before he
gave his public support to the political schemer pitchforked by the
Jew Söros into the ancient capital of the Nordic Varegues (i.e. Kiev,
Ukraine) last year, and before the butchery which took place in
Ossetia last year - which, of course, had nothing to do with the fact
that the Ossetians are the only people of Nordic origin left in the
Caucasus. As for the war in Chechnya and the so-called "war against
Islamism", Paul Klebnikov, before being assassinated, showed
in 'Godfather of the Kremlin - the Decline of Russia in the Age of
Gangster Capitalism', that it broke out, not for religious reasons,
but because of financial rivalries, linked with drug trafficking and
oil trafficking, between the Chechen mafia and the neo-Communist para-
mafia which inherited Russia's bank accounts after the fall of the
Berlin wall and of the Soviet Union ; as usual, religious issues were
used to cover up business conflicts. Meta-politics, infra-economics.
Finally, one may wonder whether Parvulesco is less familiar with
Dugin's work than Dugin is with Parvulesco's work. As a matter of
fact, if one has read the brilliant analysis by Dugin of 'Russian
Cosmism' and 'American Cosmism', that is to say, of the occult roots
of Bolshevism and the occult roots of Americanism, how on earth can
one talk seriously of "how Russia has changed, little by little, and
got rid of Communism, how she has freed herself spiritually to become
the leading voice of a nationalist and revolutionary conception of
history"?
These are the clarifications which we consider worth making,
regarding Parvulesco's thought and Abellio's political involvement,
in relation to your remarks on Jean Robin's work. The latter is said
to have published various books under various pseudonyms. We limited
ourselves to his official biography, not wishing to swamp the reader
with his fanciful ramblings. Is it from 'Hitler et la tradition
cathare' (Laffont, Paris, 1971) that a Christian conspirologist
called Fritz Springmeier, for whom "Nazism was a Pagan Gnostic
religious system whose High Priest Hitler knew what he was doing in
relation to Satan's mission", got the 'information' that "a group of
SS officers hid the Grail in the Schleigeiss glacier at the foot of
3,000 meter high Hochfeiler mountain on May 2, 1945"? - incidentally,
the authors of 'Hitler et la tradition cathare' are not
brothers : "J. and M. Angelbert" should be read "J.M. (Jean Michel)
Angelbert (a pseudonym for Michel Bertrand and Jean Angelini)". To go
back to J.M. All ..., sorry, to Jean Robin, the fact that his
definition of a tulku doesn't correspond to that given in Tibetan
Buddhism doesn't come as a surprise. Isn't it interesting to note
that, to the best of our knowledge, esoteric novelists never rambled
on about Guénon in his lifetime? Can you imagine what Guénon would
have said about being associated by Jean Villiers with the figure of
Cagliostro, who, incidentally, was rather praised by Giuliano
Kremmerz? This being said, it must be acknowledged that Guénon's
views on the figure of the Antichrist are rather inconsistent.
As Evola stressed in his essays on the 'occult war', it is useless to
waste time analysing theories of this kind ; instead, let's ask
ourselves what their aim - the aim of those who bring them forward -
is ; what they are used for ; how they are instrumentalised. Let us
not confuse positive points of reference with their caricature. For
instance, a Paris-Berlin-Moscow axis can be a valid point of
reference from a traditional standpoint, insofar as France, Germany
and Russia were founded by peoples which all belonged to the same,
Nordic-Germanic, stock ; but, now that these countries are no longer
ruled by the aristocracy which gave birth to them and shaped them,
but are run by political schemers who are at the disposal of
the "cultural parasite" which has been feeding on Europe and sucking
its core for centuries, it should be clear that this axis, today
based on geo-strategic considerations and ulterior motives which are
far more concrete and trivial than the 'noble' ideals expressed by
some sincere Eurasianists, which, precisely, are used to cover them
up, cannot but be a democratic parody of an aristocratic ideal.

participation in the shade of the Villa Palombara to the imperial
project of Benito Mussolini, and of the occult reasons -more than
occult- of the defeat, and of the final catastrophic darkening of
this defeat". Parvulesco concludes by saying: "But I have no more
