With thanks to Thought and Action blog:
Mota and Marin died 75 years ago yesterday,the 13th January 1937, fighting on the front line of the Spanish War for Liberation at Majadahonda, near Madrid.
They were members (Mota was deputy-leader) of Codreanu's Iron Guard who volunteered to fight side by side with the Spaniards, Italians, Germans, Irish and others who went to Spain to fight for Christianity, Nationalism and Freedom.
This video has a lot interesting images of Legionary and Falange activities and actions at the Legionaries' memorial.
When our online shop is back up and running (soon we hope!) we have small frameable prints of the Majadahonda monument which will be available.

Quote of the Week: Codreanu on Democracy
Tip of my Charles I-era foppish wig to Thought & Action for this one.
I normally plonk quotes of the week in the side column, but this one is just too darn big, so here goes lifted straight from the aforementioned blog of good repute... Rumour has it this is going to be the foreword for the next BNP manifesto. Kerching!
Codreanu wrote the following
with Romania in mind but it can be applied to your Nation also:
“Democracy breaks the unity of the
Romanian people, dividing it into parties, stirring it up, and so,
disunited, exposing it to face the united block of the Judaic power in a
difficult moment of its history.
This
argument alone is so grave for our existence that it would constitute
sufficient reason for us to change this democracy for anything that
could guarantee our unity: namely our life; for our disunity means
death…
Democracy is incapable of
continuity in effort. Divided into parties that govern one, two or three
years, it is incapable of conceiving and accomplishing a long range
plan. One party nullifies the plans and the efforts of another. What was
conceived and built by one today is demolished next by another.
In a country in need of construction,
whose historical moment is that very construction, this drawback of
democracy constitutes a threat. It is as if on a farm the owners would
change yearly, each coming with different plans, doing away with what
the predecessors did, their work only to be done away with by the next
owner coming tomorrow.
Democracy
makes it impossible for the statesman to do his duty. A statesman of
the greatest good will becomes, in a democracy, the slave of his
supporters; he either satisfies their personal appetites or they destroy
his backing. The statesman lives under the tyranny and permanent threat
of the electoral agent.
He is
placed in the position of choosing either the renunciation of his
lifetime’s labour or the satisfaction of his supporters. And then the
politician satisfies their appetites; not out of his pocket, but out of
the country’s pocket. He creates jobs, positions, missions, commissions,
sinecures, all of them loading down the national budget which burdens
more and more the ever more bowed backs of the people.
Democracy is incapable of authority. It lacks the power
of sanction. A party, for fear of losing its supporters, does not apply
sanctions against those who live through scandalous business deals
running into the millions, through thievery or embezzlement; nor does it
apply any sanctions against political adversaries lest they expose its
own shady deals and incorrectitudes.
Democracy is in the service of high finance. Because of the
expensive system and the competition among various groups, democracy
needs a lot of money. As a natural consequence it becomes the slave of
the great Jewish international finance which subjugates it through loans
and subsidies.”

Corneliu Codreanu & the Iron Guard

An interesting, if "mainstream" account of Codreanu's Legion of St Michael the Archangel (aka the Iron Guard) and its predecessors by Bruce Dickinson (see first link below).
For those interested in a nationalist perspective we'd recommend The History of the Legionary Movement by Horia Sima, who led the legion after Codreanu's assassination.
I am a little wary of Dickinson's site as anyone describing them self as one of "Europe's foremost thinkers" has to be questioned as to their lack of modesty.
Link:
The Iron Guard by Bruce Dickinson
The History of the Legionary Movement by Horia Sima
Corneliu Codreanu Prayer Card
Legionary Frameable Prints
Above: An interesting 1940 rally with Horia Sima and General Antonescu, who would later get the Legionaries put in German Concentration Camps. Hitler realised his error in 1944 when Antonescu switched sides. Then the Legionaries were let out to lead anti-Communist resistance which they did on the ground well into the 1950s!
