On January 19th, with the support of Project Apache, the Zentropa community organised an event to raise awareness about the cause of The Karen resistance. Around 40 people gathered along with 2 special guests: Franco Nerozzi, president of the humanitarian group Popoli, and journalist Gabriele Adinolfi. After showing a film introducing the situation of The Karen people and the actions pursued by Popoli towards these persecuted people, the speakers stressed the exemplary nature of this identitarian struggle.
Far from being an “exotic” cause, aid for The Karen people is a natural extension of anti-globalization and pro identity commitments. It is as much the occidental multinational corporations as it is the Burmese army, that starves and slaughters The Karen. The cause represents an obstacle for international finance. It represents a people who dare to stand against mercantile globalisation, while continuing to live according to their own values and laws.
Franco Nerozzi who travels to the Karen territory with members of his association twice a year, reminded everyone of the ethical strength of the Karen freedom fighters who refuse resorting to drug trafficking in order to finance their guerrilla warfare.
He then presented the future projects of his association, which consists of creating on-site agricultural villages which will enable The Karen to achieve autonomy and self-sufficiency. This ambitious project can only be realised thanks to the generosity of all those who are sensitive to the need of defending the plurality of the world, as well as the honour, of those people in struggle.
In conclusion, Gabriele Adinolfi talked ironically about all the major detractors of globalisation, who are incapable of investing themselves towards people in utter destitution and near-total isolation, who’ve been in armed struggle for years .
Following the presentations, thanks to the generosity of the participants, 770 Euros had been collected and given to Popoli.
After kind salutations the participants left, keeping in mind that this event is not the last, but on the contrary, the beginning of more action in support of the courageous Karen people.
A Tree has roots, a trunk, and leaves. That is to say, the principle, the body, and the soul.
1) The roots represent the “principle,” the biological footing of a people and its territory, its motherland. They do not belong to us; one passes them on. They belong to the people, to the ancestral soul, and come from the people, what the Greeks called ethnos and the Germans Volk. They come from the ancestors; they are intended for new generations. (This is why any interbreeding is an undue appropriation of a good that is to be passed on and thus a betrayal.) If the principle disappears, nothing is possible any longer. If one cuts the tree trunk, it might well grow back. Even wounded, the Tree can continue to grow, provided that it recovers fidelity with its own roots, with its own ancestral foundation, the soil that nourishes its sap. But if the roots are torn up or the soil polluted, the tree is finished. This is why territorial colonization and racial amalgamation are infinitely more serious and deadly than cultural or political enslavement, from which a people can recover.
The roots, the Dionysian principle, grow and penetrate the soil in new ramifications: demographic vitality and territorial protection of the Tree against weeds. The roots, the “principle,” are never fixed. They deepen their essence, as Heidegger saw. The roots are at the same time “tradition” (what is handed down) and “arche” (life source, eternal renewal). The roots are thus manifestation of the deepest memory of the ancestral and of eternal Dionysian youthfulness. The latter refers back to the fundamental concept of deepening.
2) The trunk is its “soma,” the body, the cultural and psychic expression of the people, always innovating but nourished by sap from the roots. It is not solidified, not gelled. It grows in concentric layers and it rises towards the sky. Today, those who want to neutralize and abolish European culture try to “preserve” it in the form of monuments of the past, as in formaldehyde, for “neutral” scholars, or to just abolish the historical memory of the young generations. They do the work of lumberjacks. The trunk, on the earth that bears it, is, age after age, growth and metamorphosis. The Tree of old European culture is both uprooted and removed. A ten year old oak does not resemble a thousand year old oak. But it is the same oak. The trunk, which stands up to the lightning, obeys the Jupiterian principle.
3) The foliage is most fragile and most beautiful. It dies, withers, and reappears like the sun. It grows in all directions. The foliage represents psyche, i.e., civilization, the production and the profusion of new forms of creation. It is the raison d’être of the Tree, its assumption. In addition, which law does the growth of leaves obey? Photosynthesis. That is to say, “the utilization of the force of light.” The sun nourishes the leaves which, in exchange, produce vital oxygen. The efflorescent foliage thus follows the Apollonian principle. But watch out: if it grows inordinately and anarchically (like European civilization, which wanted to become the global Occident and extend to the whole planet), it will be caught by the storm, like a badly carded sail, and it will pull down and uproot the Tree that carries it. The foliage must be pruned, disciplined. If European civilization wishes to survive, it should not extend itself to the whole Earth, nor practice the strategy of open arms . . . as foliage that is too intrepid overextends itself, or allows itself to be smothered by vines. It will have to concentrate on its vital space, i.e., Eurosiberia. Hence the importance of the imperative of ethnocentrism, a term that is politically incorrect, but that is to be preferred to the “ethnopluralist” and in fact multiethnic model that dupes or schemers put forth to confuse the spirit of resistance of the rebellious elite of the youth.
- Excerpt From: Mars & Héphaïstos: Le Retour de l’histoire, by Guillaume Faye
“There is no freedom without taking root and without will. The Free Man; the unique ideal traditionally extolled by European culture in the likes of Celtic poems & Germanic legends. Autonomous and accountable in his choices, the Free Man is the virtuous product of European genius. Although, it’s precisely the later which is being threatened by the march of foreign despotism; taking place internally by what Konrad Lorenz called the contagion of indoctrination, and what Raymond Ruyer called ideological pollution. Egalitarianism, uniformed lifestyles, rapid bureaucratisation and totalitarian economics are currently changing the European freeman into a “mass-man” foreign even to his own self.”

4 vehicles, 56 m³ of goods, 47 computers, 8 French, 1 Italian: that’s the log book of our 10th humanitarian convoy to support the Serbian children and their parents in Kosovo and Metohija.
Arriving December 28th in Kosovska Mitrovica after 2 days spent on the roads, we delivered and distributed nearly 60 m³ of school supplies, clothes, toys and sweets.
The donations, which were collected as well as transported thanks to your generosity, have been given directly to either Serbian families in need, local communities, and/or those in charge of associations.
Since the withdrawal of the Serbian forces, the orthodox monasteries have become an essential link point and have received goods in order to ensure re-distribution according to local needs. This year we have been able to provide about fifty computers re-formated in Serbian. This has been possible thanks to the donation made by a company after it had renewed all PCs. This is unprecedented in the history Solidarité Kosovo.
Finally, in a rural village separated from the town’s outskirts by a a row of burned houses, we’ve been able to bring material support to about a thousand families. More importantly we have tried to deliver a message of hope, that despite the attitude of the French government, that there are still European citizens who are willing to help Serbians from Kosovo and Metohija to build a better future. A future of peace in their land.
SK wants to thanks volunteers, privates companies, parishes individuals as well as all the people who by their contribution have participated in the success of this 10th Solidarité Kosovo humanitarian mission.
