RESISTANCE MOVEMENT. The Supreme Court announced on 10 June that it will uphold the Court of Appeal’s acquittal of the Nordic Resistance Movement in the Gothenburg Trials.
During the so-called Gothenburg Trials, the system attempted to make it illegal for the Nordic Resistance Movement to conduct public activism, which in practice would have led to a ban on the organisation. The trials were a result of a report by the apparatchik Erik Nord, the chief of Gothenburg Police.
Erik Nord attempted to frighten the public away from attending the Nordic Resistance Movement’s authorised demonstration in Gothenburg in September 2017 by making the threat that participants would be guilty of incitement to racial hatred.
Nord said to SVT prior to the demonstration: “The recommendation to those who demonstrate is that if you do not want to break the law, do not appear in uniform, do not march in step and do not shout slogans in unison. We will arrest those who are guilty of incitement to racial hatred on the spot. A demonstration is not a free zone.”
In a now deleted press release, he also stated: “This might include uniform clothing or clothing of a certain type and colour, certain attributes or emblems, and a uniform appearance; for example, marching in step with flags and shields. There is scope to take into account various factors in an overall judgement, even if each person individually is not considered to be spreading a message of a particular kind in the eyes of the law.”
Fourteen participants in the demonstration were charged with incitement to racial hatred in accordance with Erik Nord’s statement – including Pär Öberg and Fredrik Vejdeland from the Nordic Resistance Movement’s National Council. If they had been convicted, more people would have likely been prosecuted, and it would have been a big step towards completely banning the Nordic Resistance Movement from operating on the streets and squares. However, all of the accused were acquitted in both the District Court and the Court of Appeal.
The prosecutor appealed the case to the Supreme Court, which on Thursday announced that it will not pursue the case but will instead let the Court of Appeal’s acquittal come into legal force.
GERMANY CALLING. Our correspondent from Der III. Weg reports on the anti-lockdown demonstrations in Germany and how the politics of Der III. Weg are connecting with the people.
Der III. Weg leaflet: “The system is more dangerous than corona!”
The people in Germany are suffering under the criminal politics of the corona crisis. The government is removing the people’s rights, and the lockdown has caused many problems for businessmen, workers, children, pensioners and more. But not everybody is just sitting at home and accepting the situation…
Demonstrations across the country

More and more people are fed up with losing their rights, wearing masks and living like prisoners who are only allowed to go to work. As such, there is a huge movement of people taking to the streets to fight for their rights. But it isn’t just nationalists who are demonstrating. Many different people across all classes and from all parts of society are there together on the streets. Even people who were not previously interested in politics have started to fight for their rights.
Members of Germany’s leading revolutionary movement – Der III. Weg – are very used to demonstrating, so they are joining the demonstrations and showing the people that they are willing to fight for their rights. The demonstrations are excellent places to hand out leaflets and brochures of the political party to the people. It’s a good way to get in contact with people and tell them about the movement and the political aims of Der III. Weg.

The people are becoming criminalised
Members of nationalist movements are well aware that the media and politicians are always trying to stigmatise them, but regular members of society have little experience of such treatment. However, this is exactly what normal people are currently undergoing. The people just want their rights back, and the media and politicians are slandering them for it. The mass media is telling their consumers that all the protesters are Nazis, even if they don’t have anything to do with politics.
So the people are learning that the system is a system of injustice and that it’s not possible to say what you want. Freedom of speech is a dream, and reality demonstrates something totally different. If your opinion contradicts that of the establishment, the media and politicians will call you a Nazi. Terms like these are used to shut people up.
Der III. Weg members protest the lockdown laws in Germany during their May Day 2021 demonstration in Chemnitz“Get out on the streets! Question this madness! Support our struggle!”
Media lies
The first demonstrations took place in 2020. In Berlin, tens of thousands of people came to protest against the corona lockdown politics. The media lied about the numbers of protesters and told the people that only right-wing extremists were there, but thousands of people who were present saw the truth for themselves. This led to the people losing more and more trust in the mass media. Of course, the government sent their undercover troublemakers to the events to cause riots so the TV cameras could catch footage of “violent protestors” to broadcast to the nation. This tactic is something nationalists know very well. But now regular people are recognising what is going on behind the scenes.
Anti-lockdown demonstration march in Kassel, Germany, 20 March 2021:
All of these factors are leading to a fusion of the resistance against the government. People who previously did not cooperate are now on the streets together. People are getting more and more dissatisfied with the current state of affairs, and more open minded to nationalist positions. This is where Germany’s leading revolutionary movement, Der III. Weg, can converse with the people and show them their vision of a better Germany. A crisis like this is a perfect breeding ground for nationalist politics.

ARISTOGENESIS. This is the eighth episode of Aristogenesis.
In this episode of Aristogenesis, join Nestor and our newest recruit – Alan (from Nordic Frontier) – for the first part of a series of interviews with Askr Svarte (Evgeny Nechkasov).
Askr is a Traditionalist philosopher, founder of the Svarte Aske pagan community. Author of multiple books on the Germanic-Scandinavian tradition, pagan theology and Traditionalist philosophy, as well as dozens of polemical articles and essays in which he criticizes New Age, left-liberal and postmodern currents in Western and Russian neopaganism. A descendant of Bessarabian Germans, exiled to Siberia in the first half of the 20th century, he lives permanently in the city of Novosibirsk in West Siberia, Russia.
Our interviews will be based on his latest book, which has recently been translated into English: Polemos: The Dawn of Pagan Traditionalism. We will be discussing matters regarding the Perennial Tradition, ancient paganism and its modern reconstruction, myth, culture and politics. We will try to examine if and where the paths of Traditionalist philosophy, ancestral wisdom and paganism meet with political activism, and how these seemingly different approaches can complete, enhance and benefit from one another, as well as other interesting topics and subjects.

ACTIVISM. The Nordic Resistance Movement recently conducted a propaganda offensive against the degenerate homo lobby in Bergen.
Information about the homo lobby’s connections to paedophilia
In connection with the so-called “Rainbow Days” in Bergen, activists and members from Norway’s Nest 3 conducted a series of activities directed at the political homo lobby. The actions took place at the weekend in central Bergen, Askøy and Fyllingsdalen.
Five hundred leaflets were distributed, a large number of posters were put up, and many rainbow flags were confiscated.
The activists report that more actions against the homo lobby will take place during the week.

INTERVIEW. The Nordic Resistance Movement speaks to Marie – an active female member of the organisation in Sweden’s Nest 8 – about her ideological awakening and work for the struggle.
Marie has been an active member of the Nordic Resistance Movement’s Nest 8 in Sweden since July last year. She is responsible for the Prisoner Help programme in the Nest and is active in the Organiser Group. She participates in public activities and basic activism. In January, she won the Radio Regeringen podcast’s Newcomer of the Year award for 2020.
Would you like to introduce yourself to our readers and tell us a little bit about yourself, your upbringing, family and your awakening?
I grew up in a small town a few miles from Örebro together with my parents and my two big brothers. When I think back to my childhood, I do so with immense warmth. I have always said that I had the best upbringing one could wish for.
When I was twelve years old, I got a horse, and later I went to an agricultural college, so animals and nature have always been close to my heart. I have also always been a truth-seeker. What others are uncomfortable talking about, I become interested in.
My awakening began when I became concerned about people having such hatred and strong opinions, especially about certain leaders – but when I asked these critics about their reasoning, I never got an explanation. They had only read that these people were to be disliked, but could not explain why.
When I began to add myself into the equation, I understood that there were leaders, so-called dictators, which even I had been persuaded to consider evil – without even having any idea why.
That’s when I began doing some research. I started with Muammar Ghaddafi, and as I read, I realised I had been wrong about him because of the way he was portrayed in the mainstream media, so I continued with the next example, which was Saddam Hussein.
Once again I understood how wrong I had been, and that even he fought hard for his people and their well-being.
The more I read, and the more videos I watched, the more I realised that these leaders were loved by the majority of the people in their respective countries – and that the devastating chaos in these countries after their leaders’ deaths was due to the systematic attacks by globalist forces, with a Zionist-led United States at the helm. OK, I might not have expressed myself like that at the time, but the understanding was there.
I finally decided to tackle the worst of the worst, the “icon of evil” himself. And it was via this encounter with this great man and the worldview he represents, which is specially designed for the Germanic peoples – that I understood I had really found my home. I understood that there are few who have done as much for their people as he did.
Furthermore, I could see how the propagandistic and mendacious smear campaign conducted by Zionist forces against both teachers and their teachings in this respect has obviously distorted the consciousness of broad masses of people in the Western world.
The more I studied after my awakening, the more I understood how wrong I had been, not only about this great man, but about leaders, ideologies and conflicts throughout the Western world – and other parts of the globe.
For example, I also read up on Syria’s leader, Bashar al-Assad, and the alleged civil war in his country. Here, too, I understood how misinformed we are. All the leaders I mentioned above have something in common – they are, or were, fighting for their people.
Fairly soon after my awakening, I felt that I could not belong to any other organisation than the one that works and fights for our people and their future, so the Resistance Movement was the obvious choice for me.
Marie is very interested in runestones, runes and runic writing
You just answered the next question, but you may want to develop your answer: What made you choose the Nordic Resistance Movement instead of other nationalist organisations?
During my studies into what the world actually looks like, I naturally came across the Nordic Resistance Movement’s website, which is where I found the answers to my questions. The Resistance Movement is the only organisation that consistently takes the side of the Nordic peoples, and which works for the foundation of a free and sovereign Nordic nation overwhelmingly populated by the Nordic peoples. It wasn’t long before I realised that I had found my home. I never really went through any stage characterised by cultural nationalism, Zionism or counter-jihad. I voted for the Sweden Democrats, but that was because I had only just experienced my awakening and didn’t fully understand what they stood for. Since I started reading seriously and associating with nationalists, the Sweden Democrats’ visions of “open Swedishness” and their stance on Zionism and the Jewish state, for example, have never appealed to me.
So you have never been involved in any other organisations?
No.
Are you an active member?
Yes.
If you were to summarise why you are a National Socialist in a few sentences, what would you say?
I would choose the example of a neighbouring country, which, during the 1920s and early 30s, was a country in ruins but which under national and socialist rule flourished to become extremely prosperous within a few years. That is what this ideology/worldview does, regardless of how the mainstream media smears it. Those with an interest in the matter can read about how to lift a country and a people from misery to a state of well-being in just a few years. You can see in photographs and videos how proud and upstanding these people became under this rule; and for me the well-being of the people is something incredibly important, because it is about my future and that of our children. I have not been able to find a similar example in history. This greatly contributed to my experience that National Socialism is the only choice.
Have you felt you’re a welcome and appreciated member in the Nest and Member Group?
I have never before felt so welcomed and at home anywhere than I do now – so YES!
People may have noticed that you and your partner met as comrades in the Nest. What are the pros and cons (if any) of having a partner who shares your life in the struggle?
I can’t see any disadvantages; rather, I think it’s difficult to live with someone who doesn’t share your opinions on something as important as not only our future, but that of our children. So I just see benefits: We think in a similar way, we value the same sort of things and we can help each other – which makes me feel secure.
Partners in the struggle
What are the political issues you feel are most important for you to pursue?
The most important issue of all for me is our children’s future.
Do you have any thoughts about how the Nordic Resistance Movement, the Nest and your Member Group have developed since you joined?
That’s difficult to answer. I know it was turbulent for a while before I joined because of the split, but we have a Nest Chief full of ideas and initiative, which means we are constantly evolving as a group.
Which duties do you have within your Member Group and Nest?
I am part of the Organiser Group, I’m responsible for the Nest’s Prisoner Help programme, and I participate in public activities and basic activism according to my abilities.
Have there been any special incidents during your activism or other work in the struggle that you would like to mention?
There was one at my first, actually. It was during some basic activism when we were giving out leaflets and I had to go to the bathroom. On the way back, a very aggressive and threatening man came up to me and started screaming. When he saw the guys I was with a short distance away, he got scared and disappeared in a flash. That says a lot about what some men have become, when they target a lone women but retreat when they see she has a man with her. To me, that’s a very weak man.
Do you feel you have found the kind of activism that fits you best, or are you still finding out as you go?
Yes, I feel I’ve found it, although I am open to change. I do as much as I can with the time outside of work and family life that I have.
There is a large male majority among the activists and members in your Member Group and the whole Nest. What’s it like being a woman in this context?
I feel like one of the gang. But it’s clear that we women are listened to a little more in certain discussions on certain topics, for the very reason that we know that men and women are different.
Is there a female fighter in the organisation who you respect greatly and look up to?
No, I think that all freedom fighters are completely fantastic, regardless of whether they are men or women!
Would you say there is a female fellowship within the Member Group, Nest and Organisation?
I feel a fellowship with both men and women at all those three levels, but it’s clear that in some situations it feels like we women understand one another better, purely because we are women.
How do you think the Nest’s monthly meetings function?
I think they function really well, because they are permeated both by the seriousness of the struggle we wage, and by pure enjoyment and joyful fellowship. Another way of expressing it is that there is a good balance between socialising, formalities and training at our monthly meetings. We have an extremely gifted Nest Chief, who makes sure that I always get to learn something new, and who ensures that it’s always a very nice day that gives me even more energy for our freedom fight!
Do you participate in any study circles in the Nest?
From time to time, but since almost all the material we watch, read and live by here at home is related to the struggle, you could say that we are learning all the time.
Are there any special political “women’s issues” for you – and if so, which ones? Would you say you were engaged in any?
First and foremost, it’s important to get more Nordic women to fight, not just for their own children, but to be able to give all Nordic women’s children (and ultimately all White women’s children) a bright and wonderful future!
It is of the utmost importance that we succeed in awakening a natural but now often dormant racial consciousness in White women. I pursue this issue in all contexts in which I am involved.
What would you say to someone who says, “Women don’t belong in the struggle.”?
Oh! I would be very surprised. I don’t think anyone thinks like that, not in our movement, anyway. Everyone has their place in the struggle, and everyone can do something!
Have you seen any changes in the type of work in the Member Group, the Nest or the entire organisation during the period you have been a member?
I feel that we have become more active in the Nest and have developed an increased creativity in our methods of reaching out to the people.
How does the combination of family life, professional life and activism work for you?
It works well on the whole. But unfortunately I miss some public activities on weekends because of my job.
Do you feel that your political engagement is, or could be, a sensitive issue in relation to your job?
No, I don’t think so. We have quite a lot to do at my job, so there is rarely time to sit down and talk about things that don’t concern it. Besides, I actually have some “awake” colleges I can talk with about most things when there is an opportunity.
It’s been rumoured that you were praised on Radio Regeringen on its 2020 award show after being in the Resistance Movement for just six months. Can you tell us more? What was your reaction when you found out?
Yes, that was unexpected, but naturally I was really happy! We listened to the episode, and I was awarded the prize in the Newcomer of the Year category, which felt really nice. At least I know I’m doing something right!
Putting modesty aside for a moment, why do you think you won the prize?
I don’t know. When I can, I’m there for people 100%. Perhaps that was the reasoning?
What kind of work do you think you will be doing for the struggle in five years? And in 10 years?
I don’t know at this point. Like now, my work for the struggle will be adapted to the prevailing societal situation. In an optimistic scenario, we would not have to fight for freedom in five years, but realistically I hope that by then we will have been able to wake up and recruit more people to our struggle for freedom. If we have not succeeded in awaking enough people in 10 years, I think a third world war could break out around that time. That will be when most people will understand that this is exactly what we were fighting against all the time – and that we are not the evil ones, but the opposite.
What do you think about the discussion in parliament to introduce an organisational ban against the Nordic Resistance Movement?
It just proves one of the things we’re fighting against – the lack of freedom of expression in this country. I have always said: “If you’re up to no good and want to keep getting away with it, you will want to silence those who disagree with you.”
What would you say to someone who is interested the work of the Nordic Resistance Movement but is reluctant to get involved?
It makes me sad when people say, “I’m not interested in politics and such things,” when it’s about their own future and that of all our children. Selfishness is the biggest root of all evil in the world.
I have never understood that kind of selfishness and cowardice. I’ve never been the type to sit back and watch when something is not right. I am often told that I should think about myself and what is best for me and my own – but everyone who knows me knows that I think everyone should be happy, and not just me.
Neither have I ever understood how someone can fail to get involved so that all children can have a bright and wonderful future free from evil – and preferably free from war.
As a mother, I do everything for my children, and I want to be able to look them in the eyes when I say, “At least I did everything I could to give you the future you deserve” – and that’s how I think all parents or people who desire the well-being of others should think – regardless of whether it’s about children or adults.
Our children’s future – the most important political issue for Marie
I am certain this is something that exists somewhere within all Nordic people. So my advice is: Let go of your fear, and take the step you know you should take! You won’t regret it.
Thank you for your time and your extensive answers, Marie!
ACTIVISM. Activists and members from Sweden’s Nest 6 gathered for a “Multiculturalism = Genocide” banner action in Skellefteå on Saturday, 5 June.
“Multiculturalism = Genocide”
The group took up positions on one of the more central bridges, displaying the banner in a northbound direction. The flow of traffic went in waves, but many vehicles passed by during the time the comrades stood on the bridge. About halfway through the activity, they switched sides and faced a southbound direction.
The reactions were mixed as always; some were negative, but on the whole the responses were mostly positive. No opponents dared to approach or confront the activists and members, and no police were seen on the sunny summer’s day. After almost an hour, the group packed up and travelled to their monthly meeting, which was held just outside Skellefteå. Another successful day in the sign of the Tyr rune in Nest 6!
ACTIVISM. It rained propaganda in a shopping centre in Bergen, Norway, when the Nordic Resistance Movement visited last weekend.
Members and activists from Norway’s Nest 3 went to the Galleriet shopping centre in Bergen at the weekend to conduct a little confetti action.
A generous amount of confetti was dropped from the top floor, spreading down across all the floors in the shopping centre. The confetti featured advertisements for Frihetskamp.net.
Afterwards, the weekend’s activism continued with a leaflet distribution in Bergen and the surrounding area.
HIKING. Sweden’s Nest 2 hiked along sections of the Bohusleden trail again on 22 May. This time it was a somewhat tougher challenge than before. Alexander Almroth recounts the trip.
During the planning of this hike, I noticed this would be a much tougher stretch than those we completed earlier in the year.
As such, I saw it as a perfect opportunity to test my comrades’ abilities when faced not only with the physical challenges of walking more than 18 miles in considerably hilly terrain, but also their mental strength.
On the first day, we were told that neither nicotine nor food would be allowed until we reached the campsite and completed some simple tasks.
The first thing we came to shortly after starting the hike was a very steep path up to a small mountain. However, this was only the beginning, as the next 12 miles consisted almost exclusively of uphill slopes followed by swamps.
Alexander Almroth and Nest Chief Mattias Sigvardsson
Despite the hard trials the day brought, we were all still in good spirits, and group cohesion did not seem to be affected by either the lack of food or nicotine (for those who usually needed it).
An extra bag was also brought and passed between us during the walk. The bag wasn’t just carried to make life harder for everyone – it also contained the tarpaulins we needed for building our camp later on.
When we reached the spot where we had chosen to spend the night, everyone quickly threw off the bags they had been carrying for over ten hours. We had a short rest and then set up our temporary windshield as quickly as possible and lit a fire to warm our wet feet.
When these two tasks had been completed, Nest Chief Sigvardsson gave the green light for both food and snus. Like the good leader he is, he had also brought various types of snacks, which he offered to his men. There was much happiness all around when everyone finally got to enjoy their well-deserved dinner.
Many hours were spent in front of the campfire, with the comrades discussing the day and singing different types of fighting songs together.
Singing around the fire
Exhausted as expected, everyone then got a good night’s sleep to the sound of heavy rain showers against the tarpaulin – which at least protected us from the rain to some extent.
At 4 a.m., we woke up and discovered that a lot of water had leaked into our shelter. Several people’s shoes and packs were soaked, and there was nothing to be done except make a fire in an attempt to produce some kind of heat.
Breakfast was consumed quickly by the fire, before it was time to conclude the weekend by walking the last eight remaining miles.
As with the previous 12 miles, this last stretch also largely consisted of swamps; however, the only option was to march on, and that’s exactly what was done.
For my part, this was one of the hikes I will likely remember for the rest of my life – both because of the challenge and the good camaraderie. I want to thank my comrades who went on this journey with me; you fought through it well!
ACTIVISM. Flags symbolising the destruction of our people were nullified and replaced in Linköping, Sweden, on 28 May.
We are currently at the transitional stage between spring and summer – the time of fire. Before the season of growth, the old and the dead must give way to new life. As such, three EU flags and a multicoloured flag of decadence were confiscated by autonomous National Socialists on Friday and presented to Resistance Movement activists – all four flags were then consumed by fire.
Four anti-White flags burn
Flag replacement instead of population replacement
The autonomous National Socialists also reported that the three confiscated flags representing the genocide of Europeans were replaced with a Tyr rune flag – the symbol of the Nordic people’s liberation. The flag was hoisted slowly and with dignity, and was seen waving proudly in the wind above the town square.
The Tyr rune flag
While the EU flags were being taken down, the autonomous National Socialists were greeted with applause, thumbs-up and happy shouts from two passers-by who appreciated the action and said they wanted to do the same thing – but that they didn’t have the courage required.
When the flag of shame was taken down, an angry woman with multicoloured hair attempted to stop it, only to be reprimanded and then skulk away from the scene muttering.
The four rags were then presented to activists in the Nordic Resistance Movement, who took them to the burning site. After the rags with the divisive symbols had been duly desecrated, they were set alight and consumed by the flames. Soon the anti-White flags were no more than a small pile of ashes.
OPINION. Through decades of manipulation and subversive propaganda, many generations of whites have been taught to react emotionally and irrationally to specific words, notions...
