Theo at Wikipedia and Tiscali

I have had a recent disagreement with the Wikipedia writing staff, or one of them anyway. An encyclopedic sounding of the world should preclude political bias, and as far as Vlaams Blok/Belang is concerned these guys don’t. But give credit where it is due. Today I read the Wikipedia entry for the assassinated Dutch film-maker, Theo Van Gogh. It isn’t an entry that will change very much now, I suppose. But he is accorded a remarkably fair treatment by the writers, who are well-informed and well worth reading.

They capture the spirit of the man. Van Gogh did not ask to be loved. He asked, principally, for respect for the victims of 09/11. He asked for the freedom to speak wherever free speech was withheld. In fact, he took it whether anybody else liked it or not. He revelled in doing so and didn’t care whose censorious habits he riled.

In reply we now see the Islamics and the left who hated him campaigning quite freely to silence the popular dissent against multiculturalism which his death has occasioned. It’s true that Van Gogh’s undiplomatic, in fact downright shameless nature probably made it easy for these people to wave their placards and feel they have the moral high ground. After all, it’s been a one-way ride for tolerance for forty years. Why should it be different now, simply because one troublesome film-maker has been sent to hell by Allah’s justice? They cannot see, as the Dutch can, that a tolerance for their protest has to be balanced by tolerance for a man like Van Gogh.

I see that the by no means lengthy campaign text of “Stop the Hate” – it’s in Dutch – uses that “r” word five times. But as far as I am aware race is not particularly an Islamic concept. It is fidelity and obedience to the will of Allah that devides the world for Moslems. It is, of course, the left whose socio-political analysis is built on race. What a curious partnership this is and how surreal to see smiling young Moslem girls, pious in the jihab, waving a “Fuck Racisme” placard. Van Gogh would surely have thought that was a pretty good one.

The release of Van Gogh’s final film, 06/05, about the murder of his friend Pym Fortuyn, is now covered, also very fairly, here and here.

The film itself can be downloaded from Tiscali. If you view it let me know what you think.

Also to note: in the little Dutch text is spoken about the “horrible” (afschuwelijke) murder of Theo van Gogh, but unfortunately they fail to condemn it.

What do you think of the theory that the roots of this obsession with “hate” and “racism"(exclusively,of course, the “hate” and “racism” of whites)lie in revulsion towards the crimes of the Third Reich? If we accept this explanation it is ironic that the nation that(at one crucial point) stood alone against Nazi Germany seems even more intent on self-destruction than Germany itself.

Seelow, the irony of this has of course been noticed by many. One commenter who questions Bush’s policy of forced race-replacement (having as its explicit aim the conversion of the U.S. from a white to an Afro-Latin-Asian country by mid-century—as everyone knows, Clinton gave a speech to an audience of wildly cheering leftists in which he explicitly said this was the aim: “no more white majority in the U.S. by mid-century") has called this deliberate destruction of the U.S.’s racial patrimony “Hitler’s revenge.” That’s a perfectly legitimate piece of bitter irony.

The point to retain and emphasize is Nazism didn’t at all discredit the notions of race, ethnicity, ethno-culture, nation, or ethno-cultural nationalism any more than Communism discredited social justice. The Nazis’ evil lay entirely elsewhere than in their claimed support for the concepts of race and of ethno-cultural national self-preservation, just as the Communists’ evil lay entirely elsewhere than in their claimed devotion to social justice.

The phenomenon of Nazism doesn’t mean anyone has to reject race or nationalism. On the contrary, it is precisely the attempted suppression of people’s natural feelings of race and nationalism—which are good, normal, healthy feelings—that leads directly to Nazism. For people’s sense of those things to be channeled in normal, healthy ways, ways that ultimately benefit everyone, that sense must be able to express itself freely. Suppress it by force for whatever strange reason and it will mutate into something unnatural, just as ANY OTHER good, normal, healthy feeling or thing will do if suppressed by force for some political or other reason.

Race, ethnicity, tribe, ethno-culture, nation, and ethno-cultural nationalism are not going to be suppressed and it is these attempts at suppressing them rather than allowing them to express themselves normally and healthily that most heighten the risk of more Nazi-type horrors.

As for “racism” as that term is used nowadays by people like Jason Soon, all it means is wanting to preserve your race from deliberate extinction at the hands of government doing the bidding of some rival race or ethnicity or arrogant group of your own race’s élites. That’s all it means. It should be obvious by now that the whole “racism” mythos is merely a tactical “cover” used by those who want to exterminate white-Euro Christians—it means, “We want to exterminate you and if you try to resist we’ll tar you with the racism brush for not going quietly into oblivion.” Take a look around you, and it won’t be hard to identify the groups behind this tactic, some of them acting not completely knowingly but by Freudian-style subconscious “projection” of their hatred of us, and their wish to harm and even exterminate us, onto us vis-à-vis them; others by cold, methodical calculation of where they feel their political/racial/economic advantage lies.
