Order Of Flemish Militants
The Vlaamse Militanten Orde (Flemish Militants Order in Dutch) or VMO – originally Vlaamse Militanten Organisatie (Flemish Militants Organisation) – was a Flemish nationalist activist group in Belgium defending far-right interests by propaganda and political action. Established in 1949 in 1954 they would help to found the Volksunie (VU), a Belgian political party. The links between the extremist VMO and the VU lessened as the party moved towards the centre. Later the VMO would become linked to neo-Nazism and a series of paramilitary attacks on immigrants and leftists.

“Just as a new scientific discovery manifests something that was already latent in the order of nature, and at the same time is logically related to the total structure of the existing science, so the new poem manifests something that was already latent in the order of words.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
“... married women work and neglect their children because the duties of the homemaker become so depreciated that women feel compelled to take a job in order to hold the respect of the community. It is one thing if women work, as many of them must, to help support the family. It is quite another thing—it is destructive of woman’s freedom—if society forces her out of the home and into the labor market in order that she may respect herself and gain the respect of others.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“These Flemish pictures of old days;
Sit with me by the homestead hearth,
And stretch the hands of memory forth
To warm them at the wood-fire’s blaze!”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
“I’ve always had the impression that real militants are like cleaning women, doing a thankless, daily but necessary job.”
—François Truffaut (1932–1984)
