Belgian Patriot Chris Roman Interviewed

Each day I scan a number of internet media sites from the fuzzy Libertarians at Weekend Interview Show to David Duke’s Webcast where I just noticed a Belgian Patriot named Chris Roman is interviewed. It seems Mr. Roman was imprisoned for writing about the Bolshevik and Jewish nexus. The subjects of multiculturalism, Flanders, Vlaams Blok, and Belgian politics are also discussed.

Well listen for yourself, make up your own mind.

Mute and a Mosquito

Some months ago a good man with some powerful opinions quit the MR threads without apology or explanation.  He mailed me thereafter, and though in my own mind I had been quite content to assign him to that unloved and disrespected category of the semitically-obsessed, he has in fact forced me to re-examine my assumptions about him, about Nationalists and Nationalism in general.  And this he has done not through the force of argument but, unwittingly no doubt, by personal virtue.

I am, let it be said, a succour for personal virtue.  It does not count for much now, perhaps.  But in my formative years it most certainly did.  My generation was raised in the full awareness that one day we could, like our fathers and grandfathers before us, be called up to defend the nation.  It did not happen.  The New National Service Act, which came into being with peace in 1945, was ended in 1963 when I still only eleven years old.  A full and free life stretched before me and before all those of my wretched generation.

What we did with it politically, of course, is turning out before our eyes to be the most grave and final of treasons.  It is my self-indulgent generation – and no other – that has demeaned our nation as some kind of multiracial, governmentally administrated geographic unit excused by universalist “ideas” and “values”.  Suffice it to say that these fine liberal “goods” have absolutely no connection to the public and private virtues with which, for the most part, our parents and teachers attempted to imbue us.  In the fifties that much of Old England still remained, and I am grateful for it.

The connection between Peak Oil and White Nationalism

For me, certainly, and no doubt for many other MR folk the suddeness with which “Peak Oil” has come on to the scene, like a great wave rising out of a calm sea, has produced rather more questions than answers.  One of these is: why is it of such interest to nationalists?

Obviously, it does not seem to matter at all yet to the mainstream political parties.  In the UK none of the three mainstreamers have indicated more than a passing acquaintance with the concept.  It’s true, though, that they all have deep ideological investments in ever-rising productivity, consumption and GDP, and that may explain it.  But interestingly, even the Green Party has paid scant attention thus far to Peak Oil and its staggering economic, social and political implications.

The one exception in my little country is the British National Party, which is striving with might and mein to interest its membership in the issue.  Yesterday Nick Griffin put up an article on the BNP website and also announced the launch of a special Peak Oil section in its newspaper.

The latter has a very interesting resumé titled Opportunity?.  It is either a piece of frothing at the mouth by frustrated, second-rate minds and political no-hopers ... or it is rather visionary and the source of hope for those who don’t welcome an endlessly diverse future.  Read and decide for yourself.

In Griffin’s article he reveals that he expects to “challenge for power” around 2030.  Yes OK, far enough away to be faintly possible, near enough to keep his supporters digging into their pockets.  But cultural marxism, our ruling ideology, will not last indefinitely anymore than classical marxism did.  2030 is certainly within the range of possibilities for an ideological collapse no less spectacular than 1989’s.

Griffin may be right about his March on Westminster, you never know.  He may be right about Peak Oil.  The latter would hugely help the former, though, and that’s the point.  He believes the Peak can be scaled, and nothing happens in politics without belief.

The Bear’s Lair: Cracks in the euro zone

At the time the Euro was introduced in 1999, its opponents prophesied a dark future of increasing currency strains within the euro zone, as disparate economies struggled together in a single currency.  Later, in 2002-03, the fears appeared to have been ill-founded, and the euro was hailed as a stunning success.  However, recent economic trends suggest that the pessimists may have been right, just a little early.

Who stole the Spanish election?

National Review article—VERY interesting. Makes sense to me; the Spanish socialists are a very nasty lot.

Fear and loathing in Flanders

On March 25th an event took place which perfectly defines the character of politics in Belgium.  Superficially, the legalistic effort to kill the independence movement in Flanders acquired some teeth.  The Belgian Council of Ministers agreed the final implementation arrangements (or Royal Decrees) by which the so-called “Dry-Up Law” could finally be published in the Belgian law gazette.  Parties convicted of racism can now be denied state funding for up to twelve months - a subject on which I blogged back on 15th January.

Remember, in Belgium it is illegal for politicians and parties to accept a donation over 125 euros from any private company or individual.  All political parties are, therefore, state-dependent.  But under the “Dry-Up Law” - in the Dutch sense the meaning is “draining” (of money) - the one publicly-funded Belgian party already convicted of racism can, for the second time, be brought before the firing squad.

Ambitious.  But why the hell not?

Lee Barnes, who looks after the BNP’s legal affairs, has lodged a formal complaint with Offcom about the Channel 4 programme, “Let ‘em All In” written and fronted by open borders enthusiast, Keenan Malik.

The programme, one of four being aired by Channel 4 this week on the immigration debate in the UK, made extensive use of the famous “Feudin Banjos” music from John Boorman’s 1972 classic film, Deliverance.

Two messengers but only one message

Le jour où nous aurons en France, non plus 5 millions mais 25 millions de musulmans, ce sont eux qui commanderont.  Et les Français raseront les murs, descendront des trottoirs en baissant les yeux

Jean-Marie Le Pen, explaining to anyone who will listen that, “The day when we have not five million but twenty-five million Muslims in France, it will be they who rule.  And the French will stick against the wall, jump in the gutter and lower their eyes.

Of course, it brought him another conviction and fine from the (anti-) French establishment.  He’s been collecting them since the 1960’s.  His stubborness and verbal extravagance have cost him in excess of $200,000.  I think it’s safe to say he doesn’t much care about that.  For the desperate and the irredeemable any publicity is good publicity.  In that bullish, foolhardy-brave way he has, Le Pen is perfectly irredeemable.  And, if you happen to be one of those, of course, extreme far right French nationalists, he is undeniably inspiring.

Lemmings in Belgium

This week, as has been widely noted, Claude Eerdekens saw his bill to cut state-funding to Vlaams Belang pass through the Senate and onto the statute book.

In point of fact, the new law only regulates the practical implementation of a more fundamental law that dates from 1999.  That one keeps things specific to parties convicted for “racism” and all evils attributed thereto.  So in itself Eerdekens’ law is no surprise.  The greater mystery is why a Flemish non-socialist majority party (in fact prime-minister Verhofstadt’s own conservative VLD party, which has the most to fear from Vlaams Belang) voted with their ideological enemies and, in so doing, scandalised the Flemish public.  That could only ever work to Vlaams Belang’s electoral advantage.  So, are the majority conservative politicians simply lemmings set upon suicide?

The mystery of Dewinter’s “unalloyed Fascism”

Here follows my translation and referencing of a well-publicised riposte to Belgian Prime Minister, Guy Verhofstadt and his use of a familiar slur against Vlaams Belang’s leading spirit, Filip Dewinter.  The article,  was written by Eric Defoort, dean of the History Department of Brussels Catholic University.

Belgian prime-minister Guy Verhofstadt and his Minister of Foreign Affairs Karel De Gucht have portrayed Filip Dewinter as an “unalloyed fascist” (De Standaard 17 December 2004).  As an historian specialising in the study of several forms of fascism - National-Socialist, reactionary, ultra-right-wing and far-right thinking and acting - I really don’t know what to make of this.  In particular, I don’t know what to make of that word, “unalloyed”.  Does Verhofstadt and De Gucht have Marinetti in mind?  Or do they perhaps mean Mussolini?  But would that be the Benito from before or after the Lateran Treaty?  Could it be that they see in Dewinter a kind of d’Annunzio, where Fiume fraternizes with Antwerp?

Not just of Flemish interest

It was written in the skies that the Flemish political adventure which was Vlaams Blok would not end with the decision by the Court of Cassation last week. The Party Council, comprising delegates from one thousand local Blok chapters, voted at an extraordinary general meeting yesterday morning in Antwerp to disband their Party.  The next vote brought into being a new party: Vlaams Belang – in English, Flemish Interest.

The cost of this historical action is high, put at two million dollars by the old leadership.  But that is a small price for freedom of speech and thought in Flanders.

The Blok is dead.  Long live the Vlaams Belang?

The people of Flanders are, this evening, contemplating the decision of The Court of Cassation, the final court of appeal in Belgium.  In a case of historic proportions Flanders’ largest political party has been criminalised on charges of racism and, to all intents and purposes, politically assassinated.  It is the most legalistic of convictions obtained on the most specious of grounds.  But the means will be seen by the victors as justifying the end, and the end was to preserve the political status quo and, therefore, the existence of Belgium itself.

The stakes could not have been higher.

The case was brought by the Centre for Equal Opportunities and Opposition to Racism – the thought police of the Belgian state, essentially.  This body, a privately-owned public prosecutors office, was armed with anti-racism legislation that makes even the mention of human differentiation a crime.  Their tax-paid lawyers have persecuted Vlaams Blok for years.  Any impartial observer would conclude that the crime here has been perpetrated in the other direction, upon the conservative Flemish.

In any case, the Blok will be reborn.  It draws its strength from the Flemish working man.  It will not capitulate under this or any other stress.  How it will operate, how it will be true to itself and to the Flemish people we must wait to see.  But Flanders will not be held back indefinitely from its independence.  The Establishment cannot be other than it is, and offers Flanders only the gift of oppression.  That, however, is the gift most likely to harden the Flemish resolve for freedom.

Thou Shalt Not

The story is told well enough here.  My thanks to Fred and Paul for the link.

To add to that, readers who are interested in knowing a little more of van Gogh and why he died, please read the comment by Braveheart in the thread of my initial post on the killing.  You will find there a translation of van Gogh’s last press article.  My thanks to Braveheart for that.

Murder re-visits the Dutch anti-immigration right

Theo van Gogh, “enfant terrible” of Dutch cinema, was shot and stabbed to death in full public view in an Amsterdam street today.  The killing, in broad daylight by a man on a motorcycle, bore all the hallmarks of an assassination.  Dutch police have arrested a 26-year old man thought to be of Moroccan descent.

Van Gogh, 47, was the director of the hugely controversial film, Submission.  The writer, Somalian-born Hirsi Ali was a Muslim apostate who determined to reveal to Western audiences the nature of a Muslim woman’s married life.  Inevitably, she attracted a wave of opposition from among Holland’s one million Muslims.  She is now a Dutch MP.

A bitter and ironic twist to the the murder today is that van Gogh was working on a film of the equally shocking political assasination of anti-immigrationist and rising star of the right, Pym Fortuyn.

Having been painted by the mainstream, liberal media as an extremist and racist Fortuyn received innumerable threats to his life.  Still he neither requested armed protection nor was it offered.  The irony was that, actually, Fortuyn was an economic Thatcherite and social libertarian who, like van Gogh, was deeply troubled by the Islamification of Dutch society and by racial change in general.  An animal rights activist and environmentalist, Volkert van der Graaf, shot Fortuyn dead on 5th May, 2002.

There are many Dutch who believe that, had he lived, he would have been Prime Minister today.  Now another champion of the Dutch people’s right to their homeland is gone.
