Fourteen Words

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fourteen Words is a phrase used by white nationalists, Neo-Nazis, white pride supporters, and others. It refers to the 14-word slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children."[1], and also the 14-word slogan: "Because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the earth."[2] Both 14-word slogans were coined by David Lane, a member of the Neo-Nazi organization The Order. The first slogan was inspired by a statement, 88 words in length, quoted from Volume 1, Chapter 8 of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf:

What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence and reproduction of our race and our people, the sustenance of our children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may mature for the fulfillment of the mission allotted it by the creator of the universe. Every thought and every idea, every doctrine and all knowledge, must serve this purpose. And everything must be examined from this point of view and used or rejected according to its utility.

It can be combined with 88, as in 14/88 or 1488. The 8s stand for the eighth letter of the alphabet, with HH standing for Heil Hitler.[3] 88 can also stand for the book 88 Precepts by David Lane.[4]
