Titanic Sinking Anniversary April 14th, 2025
Tonight, into the morning of April 15th, marks the anniversary of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. It stands as both a testament to the genius of European civilization, and a humbling reminder of the limits of human ambition before the awe-inspiring power of Almighty Nature.
Designed and built by the hands of European craftsmen, engineers, and visionaries, Titanic reflected the confidence, excellence, and aspirations of Our People. She was the very embodiment of progress and technological prowess. In her time, she was the largest and most luxurious vessel ever built, and her name was meant to echo the strength of the old gods. In that way, she was symbolic of the European soul itself, which is bold, forward-reaching, and unafraid.
The tragedy that unfolded in the North Atlantic in the early hours of April 15th, 1912, reminds us that man, however brilliant, is not invincible. The sea, which is untouched, eternal, and indifferent, claimed Titanic and more than 1,500 lives. It is Almighty Nature, not man, that holds dominion over this world. And it is Nature, and the Cosmos itself, before which we must always remain humble. As a Gold Star member of the International Titanic Historical Society for many years, I have long observed this date, not only to honor those lost, but to reflect on the deeper lessons Titanic imparts to those who are willing to look beyond the surface.
Today, as Executive Director of the American Freedom Party, I recognize in the story of Titanic the same themes we face in the Eternal Struggle today: the brilliance of Our Ancestors, the heights to which we once soared, and the peril that comes when hubris and modernity tempt us to forget who we are and where our strength lies. May we never forget the heroism of that night, nor the deeper truths it teaches. May we strive once again to build as our forebears built, but with wisdom, with reverence, and with humility before Nature.
