"The Act of Indemnity and Oblivion not only had the form of a pardon but criminalized the discussion of deeds and crimes committed under the Interregnum."
~ Note from Carl Schmitt's Amnesty
This is the right response to crime and war. It is not that the citizen denies what is happening, but a recognition that a higher state of law is enacted through war. Civil or case law does not apply, there is a separate realm created apart from criminality.
One can even see how such a distinction limits brutality, as democratic citizens are often the source of calls for liquidation, the blood plague which criminalizes enemy civilians - even more than the soldiers. English civilians calling for the elimination of German women and children in World War One is an example of this intense judgement from below, and it represents, rather than military justice, the violence of the lowest types: starvation and exile of an entire nation.

Stop looking OUTSIDE of yourself for permission of what IS or ISN'T possible. If you still need permission to achieve the "impossible" I give it to you right now.
Believe, Fight, Win!
We WILL win, I never had a doubt in my mind. I wish you all knew it as I do!
APOLLO SHOWS THE WAY!

The Baron's character was described most accurately by his old friend, Ataman Semenov:
"Roman Fedorovich's valor was out of the ordinary. Legendary stories about his exploits on the German and civil fronts are truly inexhaustible. Along with this, he possessed a sharp mind capable of penetrating deep into the field of philosophical judgments on issues of religion, literature and military sciences. At the same time, he was a great mystic by nature, believed in law of retribution and was religious without hypocrisy. He hated this last thing in religion, like every lie he had been fighting all his life...

"Genoa. I have looked upon this city, its villas and pleasure-grounds, and the wide circuit of its inhabited heights and slopes, for a considerable time: in the end I must say that I see countenances out of past generations, - this district is strewn with the images of bold and autocratic men. They have lived and have wanted to live on - they say so with their houses, built and decorated for centuries, and not for the passing hour: they were well disposed to life, however ill-disposed they may often have been towards themselves. I always see the builder, how he casts his eye on all that is built around him far and near, and likewise on the city, the sea, and the chain of mountains; how he expresses power and conquest with his gaze: all this he wishes to fit into his plan, and in the end make it his property, by its becoming a portion of the same. The whole district is overgrown with this superb, insatiable egoism of the desire to possess and exploit; and as these men when abroad recognised no frontiers, and in their thirst for the new placed a new world beside the old, so also at home everyone rose up against everyone else, and devised some mode of expressing his superiority, and of placing between himself and his neighbour his personal illimitableness. Everyone won for himself his home once more by overpowering it with his architectural thoughts, and by transforming it into a delightful sight for his race. When we consider the mode of building cities in the north, the law, and the general delight in legality and obedience, impose upon us: we thereby divine the propensity to equality and submission which must have ruled in those builders. Here, however, on turning every corner you find a man by himself, who knows the sea, knows adventure, and knows the Orient, a man who is averse to law and to neighbour, as if it bored him to have to do with them, a man who scans all that is already old and established with envious glances: with a wonderful craftiness of fantasy, he would like, at least in thought, to establish all this anew, to lay his hand upon it, and introduce his meaning into it - if only for the passing hour of a sunny afternoon, when for once his insatiable and melancholy soul feels satiety, and when only what is his own, and nothing strange, may show itself to his eye."

"We reject all those efforts that try to support the ideas of race and blood rationally. Wanting to prove the worth of blood with the brain, with the means of modern natural sciences, is like letting the servant beget for the master. We don’t want to hear about chemical reactions, about blood injections, skull shapes and Aryan profiles. All of that has to degenerate into nonsense and hairsplitting and for the intellect it breaks open the gates into the realm of values that can only destroy but never comprehend. Blood attaches no value to the legitimisation as a value that can also be used to prove kinship to the baboon. Blood is the fuel that is consumed by the metaphysical flame of destiny."

Mother tells me, the immortal goddess Thetis with her glistening feet, that two fates bear me on to the day of death. If I hold out here and lay siege to Troy, my journey home is gone, but my glory never dies. If I voyage back to the fatherland I love, my pride, my glory dies…true, but the life that’s left me will be long, the stroke of death will not come on me quickly.

"For a moment as brief as a flash of lightning, we are here, on earth, living, with eyes wide open, with the wild tempest of our passions, tortured by every desire and every dream, wishing to embrace the impossible and to hold it fast to our heart. We interrogate the past, we read what men have thought; we cannot understand. We interrogate the earth, the sky, the stars, the abysses in space, and the abysses in our soul; we sob with ecstasy and with nostalgia at the sight of a beautiful thing, we make great passionate efforts and then, all of a sudden, we lie flat out, immobile and there is nothing, nothing, nothing... The stars, at which we looked with such immense desire, will no longer remember us...!"

"And from the walls of the fort there had arisen other yells, yells of maddened white men. Captain Dupont had rushed among his cursing men, sabre in hand, threatening to behead any man who tried to rush from the fort to the help of those tortured heads. Then he had given the order to McCann, crack shot of the Squadron, to put an end to those two Legionnaires who had tried to get water for the besieged fort. And McCann, six feet of lean muscle and grit, an adventurer who lived only to fight and drink, who should have been occupying a desk in his father's office away in Detroit, McCann, the lovable scoundrel, had taken aim in the coolest manner imaginable, even while he mouthed foul oaths and enjoined me to pray that he should not miss his targets."

Men live obsessed by the immensity of the eternal. That is why we ask ourselves:
Will our actions echo with the passing of the centuries? Will those who did not know us remember our name when we are gone?
Will they wonder who we were, the courage we showed in battle or how passionate we were?

If only you saw the potential and power your souls have you would not be fatalists or pessimistic. You would be Princes in your own right already!
Im honored to be here with you all, one day they will write our names in the history books and call us heroes.

You know that the world is against you. If you allow yourself to be sucked into its negative downward spiral you will operate from a place of fear, and once you’re in that state, the enemy has the upper hand.
Everyday, you will be reminded of the sinister reality we find ourselves into, whether it’s by being out in the world or in the digital one. “The matrix is everywhere”. It’s enough to drive a sane person mad. And increased exposure wires your brain in accordance with the specific daily reinforced message.
Therefore, keep what is useful and cast away that which is harmful to your growth and mission, lest it drives you to steer away from your purpose. Every day, there is a plethora of various information you expose yourself to, that goes into your mind. Protect your mind. In the same way you consume healthy food to have a healthy body, be selective of the thoughts that enter your head.
Ask yourself: is this helpful to me? Is it empowering? In what way can I use it to further my progress?
