In 1929, Evola wrote about America ("Americanismo e Bolscevismo", in Nuova Antologia):
"It constitutes a titanic entity having gold as blood".
To say this now would sound pleonastic or rhetoric, but 76 years ago it was a true prophecy.
It is rather disquieting to hear an echo in the biblical Apocalypse, about the new holy Jerusalem:
"And the building of the wall of it was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones."
Well, a treasure alike is the Vatican, that now, little after the whining day of the Jewish remembrance, does afflict Italy with three days of national mourning and a never-ending funeral march on TV for the death of the Polish Pope. Dulcis in fundo, even the "HOLY" soccer championship has been interrupted. Neither the 'quakes could do it in the past.
What an Evola alive would think, at his window in front of the Janiculum?
