Why this project exists is probably best summed up in the words of Evola:
“The possibilities still available in the last times concern only a minority and may be distinguished as follows.
Besides the great "currents" of the world there are still individuals who are rooted in terra firma.
Generally speaking, they are unknown people who shun the spotlight of modern popularity and culture.
They live on spiritual heights; they do not belong to this world...by virtue of these people, Tradition is present despite all; the flame burns invisibly and something still connects the world to the superworld...
There are an increasing number of individuals who experience a confused yet real need for liberation, though they do not know in the name of what.
To orient these people...to lead them to see the truth and sharpen their will to join the ranks of the first type of people is what can still be done...this is the only justification for tangible action that can be carried out by men of Tradition living in the modern world, in a milieu with which they have no connection.
In order for the abovementioned guiding action to be successful it is necessary to have "watchers" at hand who will bear witness to the values of Tradition in ever more uncompromising and firm ways, as the antitraditional forces grow in strength.”

FULL PLATE DISPATCH 11
In the New Dark Ages, everything seems to be ironic and metaphorical.
Everything is a cynical joke, a defense mechanism against sincerity, a statement of no statement.
Holding a position, any position is seen as a faux pas, and it is infinitely more acceptable amongst the bourgeois and the socialite to be amorphous, rootless, fluid in every way…
In this fashion, change is the fashion.
We cannot allow ourselves to fall to this spirit of the age.
There is an old adage that, like many old adages, remains true, and becomes more so each day.
"If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything."
Why is it that the masses are so easily manipulated, lied to, shifted, moved from one field to the other like cattle being grazed?
Why is it that each new trend, each new outrage, each new cause is leapt upon with a frenzied excitement, a furious urge to be "first" to tout whatever is NEW, whatever is "of the day?"
It is precisely because they believe in nothing that they so loudly claim belief in everything.
Desperate to find meaning, but unwilling to be outcast by looking into the forbidden topics of blood, culture, or spirituality outside of some kind of vague, cafeteria-style New Age vapidity that almost always doubles only as a cheap party trick or conversation starter, a loosely-held trinket with no weight or value.
This mindset is encouraged, fostered, fertilized, and enforced by the principalities and powers of this world for one reason alone:
Belief makes men dangerous.
It creates something worth living for, and something worth dying for.
Belief is the most treacherous thing there is for those in positions of control over this world, and it is the reason it is so mocked, so shunned.
And it is for this reason we must deeply explore and examine ourselves, our blood, our roots, and our culture.
We must immerse ourselves in things of worth and value in order to find where our belief lies, and from thence, to give our lives over to that belief, that zeal, that fire.
To believe in something is to have a God- what we believe in, what we mold our lives around, and give worth to, literally "worship" with our actions - this is our GOD.
And to have a god is to be forever on the Crusade…the Grand Campaign from whence we attain our own honor and value.
"Rejecting modernity" is more than a slogan to sound interesting.
It is a rejection of all the trappings of that modern world that are damaging, deracinating, and disintegrating to who we are as human beings, who we are as people.
It is choosing belief over what is fashionable.
It is choosing hard truths over beautiful lies.
It is choosing blood over gold.

“Wood birds sing songs that ring
over the mountain and river and vale
Wandering breeze stirs the trees
whispering refrains of the ancient tales
The Green Man awakens from winter’s long sleep
and plants in each heart with his verdant reach
New lust for creation for conquest and glory
Brothers, the campaign commences
Knights of old, heroes bold
Rode long ago over newly green ground
In their stead, forge ahead
Secrets long lost by our will shall be found
Fair spring shows her beauty
With blossom and bough
The life fountain thaws, flows swift and free now
With blood of the womb and the war and the oath
Our Holy Grail, ever enduring
As nature anoints the land with her rain
O, drink from her chalice, be born again!
Arise noble brothers, and lift up your swords
You ride once again with your king
You ride for the Dread-Wolf, your king!”

We apologize to our European allies, but the absurd current costs of shipping overseas and the regularity with which your postal services lose orders are out of our control.
We have priced shipping as low as we can, and will likely lose a bit on our end even at 30USD+ shipping - we completely understand if this makes supporting financially impossible for you, and are working on a solution for reprints and future gear.
This first run is likely to go quickly- we will ascertain likelihood of a reprint based on demand, and are working on getting the next issue of RTACTN to you free of charge.

(It also seems that these items can only be bought 1 at a time due to limitations of the platform - we would love to be able to just run out these launches in an easy way for all of us, but being banned from almost every online pay service and platform has its drawbacks. Sorry for the inconvenience.)
