- Foundation date
19 July 2025
This project is a philosophical and artistic study of the phenomenon of "phantom nodes" — invisible yet influential objects and subjects in the contemporary global system. The descriptions contained within this study are metaphorical and allegorical, aimed at uncovering systemic problems, regimes, and civilisational influences. They are not a journalistic investigation or legal accusations, but serve as an artistic interpretation of reality.
This creation is protected and cannot be used by third parties for the purpose of supporting, propagating, or legitimizing criminal regimes, terrorist states, and organizations operating in the shadows. The use of data or analysis results from this project, whether in part or in full, is expressly prohibited if the objective is to support or conceal their criminal activity.
The project may be freely used by individuals and organizations that combat evil, corruption, and aggression.
🕳️ Released Phantom Node 25: Daniel François Malan. The Architect of Separation
He crafted the idea.
He wasn’t a street-level executioner.
He didn’t fire weapons.
He didn’t order crowds to be shot.
He crafted the idea.
The apartheid regime was born from Malan’s rhetoric, convictions, and pen.
He gave discrimination a legal form, religious justification, and political legitimacy.
It was not a sudden outburst — it was a system. And it worked.
Node Type: Ideological Phantom
Status: Formally dead, structurally present
Mechanism of Retention: Law, pseudo-religious rhetoric, segregationist policy
Phantom Image: Pastor-architect classifying humanity in the name of God
Instead of the Phantom: Realization that laws themselves can be criminal
Essence of the Node
— Legal foundation for racial separation
— Pseudo-religious justification of racial dominance
— Codified discrimination: apartheid as law
— An ideology that permeated schooling, society, and faith
What Sustained It?
— Belief in “Divine Order”
— Support from the National Party of Afrikaners
— A church that remained silent
— A legal system that complied
How Did It Become a Phantom?
— Held power and laid the groundwork of apartheid
— Retired, but left behind a system
— Died without accountability
— His figure remained in monuments, textbooks, and coins
Why Does the Phantom Still Exist?
— Because apartheid was not just politics, but generational trauma
— Because racial inequality was never fully dismantled
— Because his name is still not universally condemned
Phantom State
— Invisible, but structurally embedded
— Revived in new narratives that justify separation
— A name many avoid, though his pen wrote the first laws
After the Regime
— Laws abolished, legacy remains
— A society still marked by hierarchy and division
— Not all architects were named or held accountable
Collective Response
We recognize that apartheid was designed.
It was not born of rage, but of doctrine.
We refuse blessings dressed in injustice.
We no longer accept silence from the pulpit.
Key Principle
Ideologies that use God's name to justify violence must be exposed.
There is no such thing as “sacred apartheid.”

🫧 Phantom Node Dossier 25: Daniel François Malan. The Architect of Separation.
Key Aspects of the Phantom:
"The Architect of Separation" (or "The Ghost of Ideological Segregation"). This phantom node symbolizes the ideological and legal foundation behind criminal regimes. Its essence lies in its ability to transform ideological prejudice into rigid, legally codified regimes that deeply penetrate all areas of public life. It is the primary criminal thought that becomes state policy.
Regimes (which it directly shapes/supports):
📝 Regime of "Legal Segregation": The creation and implementation of laws (such as the Population Registration Act) that codify racial and social division, legalizing inequality.
🧠 Regime of "Mental Separation": The formation of a collective consciousness where prejudices exist that justify violence and discrimination.
🗂️ Regime of "Total Classification": The development of a system of identification and labeling of people, creating the basis for their control and oppression.
🛡️ Regime of "Political Isolation": The disregard for international criticism and sanctions, allowing the criminal regime to function in the face of global opposition.
Tools (which it actively uses/oversees):
⚖️ Legislative Power: The use of parliament as a tool to codify discrimination.
🗞️ State Propaganda: Control over the media to spread racist ideas and justify the policy of separation.
🏫 Educational Reforms: The implementation of segregated education as a tool of ideological control and the entrenchment of inequality.
⛓️ Bureaucratic Apparatus: The use of civil servants for the forced enforcement of discriminatory laws.
Civilizational Influences (which it embodies/exploits):
💔 Ideological Degradation: The destruction of the moral and ethical foundations of society, leading to a general degradation.
🕊️ The Death of Humanism: The rejection of basic principles of humanism and universal human rights in favor of racial superiority.
🕳️ Creation of a Conflict Zone: The generation of internal conflict and social tension that becomes a source of violence.
🪞 A Mirror for the World: His regime serves as a harsh reminder to the entire world of how quickly ideology can be transformed into legalized evil.
