A Controversial Anthem: The Ideology Behind '14 Words'
The song '14 Words' by Max Resist is a controversial and provocative piece that delves into the ideology of white nationalism. The title itself is a direct reference to the infamous slogan coined by David Lane, 'We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children.' This slogan is a cornerstone of white supremacist beliefs, and the song pays homage to Lane and other members of 'The Order,' a white supremacist terrorist organization active in the 1980s.
The lyrics recount the actions and perceived heroism of various members of 'The Order,' such as David Lane, Gary Yarboro, and Bob Mathews. These individuals are depicted as warriors who fought with honor, despite their criminal activities, which included counterfeiting, bank robberies, and armored car heists. The song glorifies their actions and frames them as part of a larger struggle to 'save the race' from what they perceive as an oppressive system, often referred to as ZOG (Zionist Occupied Government).
The song also references the murder of Alan Berg, a Jewish talk show host, who was killed by members of 'The Order.' This act is described in a derogatory and violent manner, further emphasizing the song's extremist views. The repeated mention of 'Bruder Schweigen,' which translates to 'Silent Brotherhood,' reinforces the idea of a secretive, militant group committed to their cause. Max Resist's musical style, often associated with the white power music scene, uses aggressive and confrontational lyrics to propagate these ideologies, making '14 Words' a rallying cry for those who share these beliefs.
