I am healthy in body and mind, and I am filled with love for my wife and children. I love life and expect nothing beyond the perpetuation of my race and my mind. However, in the evening of this life, in front of huge dangers for my French and European country, I feel the duty to act while I still have strength. I think I need to sacrifice myself to break the lethargy that plagues us. I offer the rest of my life with the intention of protest and foundation. I chose a highly symbolic place, Notre Dame de Paris that I respect and admire, the Cathedral that was built by the genius of my ancestors in place of an earlier place of worship, recalling our immemorial origins.
While many men are slaves of their lives, my gesture embodies an ethical will. I give myself death to awaken the slumbering consciences. I rebel against fate. I protest against poisons of the soul and against the selfish desires that invade and destroy the anchors of our identity, especially the family, that intimate base of our multi-millenary civilization. While I defend the identity of all peoples in their own homes, I also rebel against the criminal replacement of our people with other peoples.
The present dominant discourse is not capable to allow us an escape its toxic ambiguities, and it is the Europeans who will suffer the consequences. S we lack an ancestral religion that would ground us [une religion identitaire à laquelle nous amarrer], we share since the times of Homer our memory, the repository of all the values on which our future rebirth will come, in a metaphysical detachment from the infinite, the harmful source of all the modern drift .
I apologize in advance to anyone that my death will cause to suffer first and foremost to my wife, my children and grandchildren, as well as my friends and followers. But once the shock of pain recedes, I do not doubt that all will comrehend the meaning of my gesture and transcend their pain into pride. I hope those people unite in common work for good. They will find in my recent writings the foreshadowing and the explaination of my actions.

“...and followers”
Let’s hope not anymore.
Oh, how very sad. Right cause, wrong method.
May 21. The media coverage, if that is the right word, was that "a man" commits suicide in Notre Dame causing the public to be evacuated. Like that is the newsworthy aspect.
I agree. This is a pagan mind that does this, but of highest class.
Like the medieval knight Roland....

Not exactly. Roland put himself in danger to save others, but he did not kill himself. The enemy did the killing.
Observe that nationalist conservatism is running out of options to fight though, especially in Europe.
I abhor suicide, like any sin. However, what heroic act of yours gives you the right to swear at people who died to serve their country?
Hopefully, it will. It sends a signal to the intellectual right that perhaps it is time to get from behind writing to thick magazines.
Thank you. I agree completely. It is a strange mix of despair and presumption.
But Roland died at the enemy's hand. The Church sees a difference between a military act certain to bring death to the hero, and a suicide. That was suicide. But then, again, his enemy is not exactly a fighting army, even though France, again, is suffering from a foreign invasion.
The times have changed since Roland the Furious, for the worse.
Yes.
Exactly. Tragic, in the classic pagan or existentialist sense.
My point is that he sounded the alarm that Satan is at the front door. Everyone else is pretending it is not going on.
Don’t blame him in that.
However, what heroic act of yours gives you the right to swear at people who died to serve their country?
You must have missed where he said he regrets -
“...that my death will cause to suffer first and foremost to my wife, my children and grandchildren...”
Offing himself is unlikely to end perversion, but it will traumatize his loved ones. That’s seems like a very “douche-baggy” thing to do.
He did what he thought was the best service he could offer for his country. We can disagree on whether that is a correct conclusion, but to see nothing in it other than causing pain to his family is cruel and not understanding the issue at all.
