Wherever I seem to turn in the field of geopolitics, I keep coming upon the hoplite clash between Sparta and Athens, and the Hyperborean/ Atlantis theory of Alexander Duggin.

At first I thought the theory was flawed somehow, as some conflicts did not seem to fit. For example, the conflict between Carthage and Rome was between two naval and land powers, and not a land and naval power. But the more I though about it, the more that made less sense. Rome was a naval power, but it wasn’t a naval civilisation. Carthage’s heredity lineage was the Phoenician traditions of seamanship, and the Romans only developed their naval position by capturing Carthaginian ships and copying them. The naval supremacy of the Romans was also achieve not by naval tactics, but by the usage of cranes which tied the roman ships to the Carthaginian ships to create a land battle on sea. At every turn the Romans turned away from the sea when they could. They did not sail from the Mediterranean and crushed every naval power they could find. Once defeated, the Romans burned Carthage to the ground and salted the earth. Rome did not have to maintain a navy. No naval powers remained.

Of course, that titanic struggle between Athens and Sparta fulfills the concept beautifully, something I noticed without realising the ramifications of in one of my earlier post comparing the struggle between Russia and the west as being a rerun of the fight between Athens and Sparta.

My knowledge of Chinese history is shaky, and something I will look to address in the near future, but the clamp down on naval centres with the Haijin ban (H/T Nick Land), as well as the Japanese turning from the sea and closing the country with the Sakoku edict, only to be reopened with the arrival of Admiral Perry’s black ships (from that great Atlantisist centre – the USA) seems significant. The Chinese Atlantisist diaspora to south east asia, comparable to the diaspora of Atlantisist Russians recounted by Duggin in this link (again H/T to Nick Land) as well as the extremist protestant diaspora to the early USA colonies adds extra flavour. Of course, no discussion of diasporas can be made without reference to the Jews, and it looks as if the Jewish diaspora in allowing a hyperborean strain to get a foothold in Isreal is now correcting this atlantean error. A complex chain of actions and counter actions.

Duggin is right in his assertion that viewing  all of the pitifully pointless wars which have pitted nations against one another take on a greater and more noble aspect when perceived as a battle through the mists of time between the occult forces of Atlantis and Hyperborea. This concept taps into deep underlying forces in human philosophy and ideology, it also raises the question of just which side is NRx on? Hyperborea or Atlantis, or is the question more complicated then this. Is it the case that NRx has a schism between Hyperborean NRx and Atlantean NRx. The line being drawn between the ethno nationalist NRx and the techno-comercial NRx respectively. Maybe it is the case that there are Hyperborean and Atlantean flavours of what we would designate leftism and rightism, rendering the concept even more complex. Would the techno-commercialists be right wing Atlanteans, with trad NRx being both left and right Hyperboreans??

Another unexplored avenue in Duggin’s thought is the presence of the internet. Does the internet open up a new spatial arena in which a third type of force arises and of which NRx is the fruit? – neither Atlantean nor Hyperborean, or is it merely an extension of Altanteanism. The cyber space operating as an area of comparable effect on geopolitical and ideological considerations as the sea.

There is much to discuss on these fronts, and those who may find the talk of Hyperborean and Atlantean conspiracies odd, my find it more palatable to approach the matter from a HBD perspective (see point two here).

Who says the participants of the conspiracy have to know they are part of a grand biological conspiracy…
