Dear SYNTHESIS readers:
In the past the SYNTHESIS yahoo group was solely for the
dissemination of website updates. We've now decided to turn it into a
proper discussion forum for all those things we've come to be known
for. Please note that all future updates will be sent out as "Special
Notices" so if you'd prefer to receive only updates then select to
receive only Special Notices on the membership management page:

Thanks for your time and we do hope you enjoy our new forum.

Greetings once again and welcome to this newest update to SYNTHESIS. First we'd like to apologize for the six months that have passed with nary a peep from us, partially due to a partial re-orienting and honing of perspective and emphasis for our humble web zine, partially due to a bout of burnout on my part (this in spite of the six-figure income I derive from this site, too!). To address the former, we've done away with both the Fiction and Art sections and have cut back somewhat on the Poetry as well, and have added a new category ( Miscellany ) for those items which just otherwise defy classification (like, heh, most of my contributions). Additionally, the plan is to try to integrate the visual content more tightly with the written content in the future and enforce a much more integral unity over the whole. This will be our little living black pearl in cyberspace.
Thanks for reading and have a joyous and abundant summer.
Signed,
Michael Lujan Assistant Editor, Webmaster

Dear SYNTHESIS readers:
The SYNTHESIS site located at http://www.RoseNoire.org has finally
started resolving again at its new web host.
Unfortunately, in my haste to move the site, I neglected to ensure
the Autarkic Network subdomain was properly backed up, so while the
vast majority of the site has been recoverable thanks to Google's
cache feature, we are now taking the opportunity to renovate the
whole site in accord with changing times and imperatives. All of us
at SYNTHESIS thank you for your patience and hope for your continued
patronage.
Sincerely,
Michael Lujan
Webmaster
We are transferring the website to a new hosting provider, which
means rosenoire.org may be unavailable for parts of today and Monday,
and possibly into Tuesday as well. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Dear Rose-Noire Subscribers:
There will be no (or very irregular) updates in the coming weeks as I
am presently focusing exclusively on moving all of the old material
from http://obsidian-blade.com/synthesis to the current website. I
apologize in advance for any incovenience.
Sincerely,
Michael Lujan
Synthesis Webmaster
http://www.RoseNoire.org
Added more Books: new sections on Indo-European Studies, Eastern & Western Martial Arts, and more in the Politics, Religion and Occult sections - purchasing from our online store helps support this site!
Re-ordered the items in each subsection in order to better represent ongoing dialogues or continuations from previous pieces - formerly new items were at the top, but will henceforth appear at the bottom.
The High History of the Holy Graal - "Originally written in Old French, sometime in the early half of the 13th Century A.D., as a continuation of Chretien DeTroyes' unfinished work "Perceval, or the Knight of the Grail". Author unknown. Translation by Sebastian Evans, 1898." - in the Occulture section
Institute of Anthroposociology - The Institute has 3 Main aims: 1) Research in to the idea of the Lizard or Demonic Race [but Highly Intelligent] on Non-Sapien Origin; 2) Study and Research of the Root Races Blavatsky; 3) Study and Research in to the Three Races of Modern Man [Caucasoid,Mongoloid and Negroid] - in the Featured Links and Occulture sections

Sorry folks, but we're doing some restructuring (adding two new
sections at least) and waiting on some additional info needed for two
articles we intend to put up. Another update should be ready next
weekend.

any consequent interruption in access to the site. Access to the
current site at http://www.RoseNoire.org and all associated

SYNTHESIS @ RoseNoire.org:
COMING SOON...
but you can act *now*!
At this time we'd like to ask our readers and those who have linked to us to
begin updating their bookmarks and links in preparation for our pending move
to the www.rosenoire.org domain. The domain is resolving and it at present
forwards your browser to the current SYNTHESIS site at obsidian-blade.com.
We apologize for and regret any incovenience this move may cause you,
especially to those webmasters who have been kind enough to link to us from
their own projects.
Thanks,
Michael
SYNTHESIS Webmaster.
WHOOPS!
The Webmaster would like to apologize to CONSTANTIN VON HOFFMEISTER for
accidentally
having wrongly attributed his poem STAR-SPANGLED KISS OF DEATH to
ARCHONIS...
... and to DR. TOMISLAV SUNIC for having neglected to include a link to his
webpage at http://www.watermark.hu/doctorsunic/. This has been added both to
the FEATURED LINKS and to the POLITICS sections.
Now, hopefully, Troy will let me out of my cage again...

A Note from the Webmaster: Welcome to the last update of 2001! I'd like to take this opportunity, on behalf of Troy, myself, and all of our contributors, to thank our readership for the phenomenal success and growth we've experienced this year. For the last two months we've been averaging 20,000 hits per month. This is almost exactly ten times the traffic we were receiving in January of this year. Some thanks is due to Bill White and his widely-read Libertarian Socialist News for the coverage he's given us on a few occasions, as well as to all those individuals who have been responsible for the otherwise almost completely word-of-mouth popularity (or notoriety?!) of our humble enterprise. We'd all also like to offer our most heart-felt thanks to our enemies for their help in promoting this web-journal, not least of which were the organizers of the "Anti-Synthesis/Anti-National Anarchist" 'conference' which may or may not have taken place in Poland this year. You flatter us with your attention! Now, for the Future: 2002 promises to be another banner year. First of all there are plans in the works to move SYNTHESIS to her very own, long-needed domain without being relegated to the right of the forward-slash: sometime early in 2002 be on the lookout for www.RoseNoire.org. The Circle of the Black Rose will finally have its home in cyberspace! Then there are plans to migrate to an all-PHP, MySQL database-backed platform. The proposal as it stands includes a web-interface accessible to all authorized contributors who will simply submit their work directly to the database and have it instantly accessible to the readership, via an auto-generated update notice to be sent out from the new Yahoo Group we've set up specifically for update notices. Thus, instead of updates every month or so, we should see weekly or even daily updates in the future. I am also in the process of brushing up on my Spanish in order to be able to present selected writings by some Traditionalist friends of ours in sadly-besieged Argentina, to whom we send our warmest regards and best wishes for a brighter new year this holiday season. And lastly, we are currently working on making available hardcopy, "newsstand editions" of each update in order to spread our nefarious, corrupting influence among those last, proud holdouts against the encroachment of the Global Information Superhighway.
And of course, Merry Mithrasmas/ Christmas/ Yule/ Solstice/ Saturnalia, and a Happy New Year to you all, from all of us at SYNTHESIS.
[Note: as of this writing only 9 people have subscribed to the Yahoo Group for Synthesis updates, so this notice is going out by way of both methods. If you wish to continue getting further updates, please subscribe! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Rose-Noire/]
