"In Arthur Kemp's "March of the Titans" (formerly featured on
Stormfront), he asserts Spain's Golden Age was "dominated by Blue
Blood" (or Visigothic blood). This is beyond absurdity! Out of 6
million inhabitants in the 5th century, Spain absorbed _only_ 200,000
Visigoths and other Germanics (and I will point out they were perhaps
the purest Nordics of the time). Spain's Golden Age was brought by a
combination of Nordic and Mediterranean blood -- and perhaps a touch of
Phoenician and Carthaginian, or even a bit of Arab. Spain's Golden Age
occured from 1500 to 1680 A.D. Over a span of 1,000 years it is very
unlikely that any pure Germans with Visigoth ancestry could have been
retained within the Iberian peninsula. (I will point out that Spain
absorbed a large amount of Celts c. 500 B.C. and before that pure Indo-
European Greeks).
Arthur Kemp asserts (perhaps correctly) that southern Spain is the most
racially mixed part of Spain (although still White with Nordic elements
about). But two of the greatest figures of Spain's Golden Age came
from southern Spain: Tirso de Molina and Luis de Angora y Argote.
Tirso de Molina was a towering figure of the Golden Age who created the
legend of Don Juan. Gongora y Argote was a major poet, best known for
his work _Solitudes_.
Arthur Kemp refers to the Scandinavian countries as "Nordic reservoirs"
and suggests they are bastions of culture, while Spain's days are
over. As I pointed out, Pablo Picasso was, by many accounts, the
_greatest_ painter of the 20th century. In the 20th century Spain also
produced Salvador Dali (a sympathizer of Franco) and Joan Miro (a top
flight painter of the world)!
The Spaniard Antonio Gaudi was the best known architect in the world in
the early 20th century. He produced many masterpieces, and was deeply
influenced by nature. There is NO NORDIC that comes anywhere close to
him! None.
The greatest architect today (by many accounts) is a Spaniard named
Ricardo Bofill. He has not yet been given the attention he so richly
deserves because he is still alive. By many accounts he is the best
since Michelangelo!
Even worse than the nescience I found conjured up by Arthur Kemp was an
article I found written by a man named Brenden Kitchins, who has
written in the past for Liberty Bell. In an article he wrote, he
asserted that Spain's Golden Age was no golden age, but "golden"
insofar as they were importing gold!
Lacking any vestige of culture, he is apparently not very familiar with
the works of Cervantes, Quevedo y Villegas, Calderon de la Barca (who
wrote "Life is a Dream"), Felix Lope de Vega Carpio (the founder of the
modern drama), and Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velazquez (who some
believe to have been the greatest painter ever)! There are some I
mentioned earlier in this article, and others I will omit for brevity
(after all, Spain produced dozens of towering geniuses during the
Golden Age -- there are just too many to name). The prominent themes
in Spain's Golden Age were patriotism, realism and mysticism.
In the late 18th century and early 19th century, Spain produced
Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucentes, the _greatest_ artist of his age.
One of the greatest film directors of all time was a Spaniard named
Luis Bunuel, who died early in the 20th century. Nowadays, the masses
are surfeited with second and third-rate film directors like Spike Lee
and Steven Spieldberg, and other charlatans churned out by Hollywood.
Luis Bunuel's movies are for the more refined and cultured audience.
Mind you, I am not detracting in any way from the accomplishments of
the Northern Europeans. They have contributed greatly to science,
industry, art (notably the Dutch), music, and philosophy (among other
areas). What I don't care for is others to detract from *my* culture
by spreading lies."
