So the affair of the leaked BNP membership list has already led to a Merseyside policeman being investigated and the Talksport DJ Rod Lucas getting the sack.  But worse will likely come to some:-

If that info gets a bit more public, this could be the end of the BNP - home demos, leafleting neigbours, alterting workplaces etc - we could seriously fuck the BNP up!

Come on, do the right thing - give us those addresses

(A) Sab x

The list itself is of dubious currency.  Excluding family members under eighteen, there are 12,215 names on it, many of whom are lapsed members.  The latest entries are June 2008, but most relate to the 2007 membership (apparently there is a very fast turnover of the BNP membership).

So, who did it?

Theory One: The list was leaked by a former party-member

Actually, a “hard-liner” who, according to Nick Griffin, “didn’t like the direction the party was going and broke away, taking the list with him”.

But EnoughisEnough has issued a rapid and firm denial, together with a demand for an apology to former Head of Administration, Kenny Smith.  There was a report that Griffin is now backing away from this theory, but I can’t locate the link.

Theory Two: The list was leaked by another left-wing mole in the party

The workaday explanation.  Well, we’ve had Jason Gwynne.  We’ve had Ian Cobain.

Theory Three: The list was leaked by an agent of MI5 within the party

The rationale here is that the BNP is on the verge of a “national breakthrough”, and could well grab a seat in the election to the European Parliament next June.

Just yesterday we heard how the party was planning an assault on the first direct elections for police authorities.

“We will be having a real go, there’s no doubt about that,” said Simon Darby, deputy leader of the BNP. “We have a staunch core of voters who are guaranteed to turn out and they could be enough to win us seats in these circumstances:-

“Crime will undoubtedly rise in the recession – burglaries go up, car theft rises, there will be problems with drug pushers. People don’t want to put up with that and they’ll want something done about it.

That reference to an increase in popularity as the recession bites was a major point of interest at last week’s BNP national conference in Blackpool, and might also be weighing on minds in high places.

This would be a good moment, then, to release sensitive information that could starve the party of membership and members’ party fees.  But ... why would an intelligence agent use an old list?

So, I favour Theory Two for now.  But the police have been called in, so perhaps we shall eventually learn who is the guilty party.

So ... I seriously over-estimated the white American electorate when, twenty-two months ago, I declared that Barrack Hussein’s boy had made his move for the VP.  Who’d have thought that a vacuus appeal to empty minds could rout the governing right?  Again.

But I did at least predict that Obama will:-

... divide America like no other, which I presume to be a good.  Should the nationalist American, then, hope that Hillary so scares the cattle he actually wins the nomination?  Should the hope even be that he strides to victory on November 4th next year over a prostrate John McCain (or Rudi Giuliani)?

The Giuliani thing wasn’t such a great call, that’s for sure.  But, anyway, now we’ve got this black - a probable empty suit - and his blacker, angry wife on their way to the White House we can ask ourselves what the result could be for WN.

For all of those twenty-two months the general assumption has certainly been that a black in the White House will create a tidal wave of new support for “the movement”.  It seems inevitable.  The Obamessiah is bound to experience a little difficulty in blessing his errant people with “change”.  Human nature does not change.  Radical leftist objectives are never gratefully seized upon by a subject people.  They are imposed by force.

But, it seems to me now that a great deal depends on how successfully Obama’s team and the “liberal” media can play on the violent redneck factor, while at the same time confounding white fears of KFC parties on the White House lawn and fresh Affirmative Action legislation before Congress.  That could keep the fence-sitters a-sitting and those who become disillussioned with the trope of “change” still convinced of the electoral claim that only white racism is holding America back from a golden new dawn.

Obviously, the media power exists to do this.  Indeed, the image of the redneck with a noose in one hand and a sniper’s rifle in the other is already getting the full SPLC treatment:-

A little over 2 years since I started warning about impending hyperinflationary depression ala the Weimar Republic, the mainstream is now talking about it openly.  Always among the bleeding edge of mainstream (Assistant Secretary of the Treasury) pundits, Paul Craig Roberts has now written of the current situation:

Shades of the Weimar Republic.
...
Cutting the budget deficit by halting pointless wars and unnecessary military spending and reducing the trade deficit by bringing jobs back to America are simple tasks compared to confronting inflationary depression.

Others, such as John Thain, chairman and CEO of Merrill Lynch, 86 year old former Goldman Sachs chairman John Whitehead are starting to use the “D”(epression) word but they aren’t yet using the “H”(yperinflation) word or its concomitant “W”(eimar) word.  Give them time…

I do have to admit to making an error in not predicting the current deflationary trend—an error caused by my underestimating Jewish Virulence—the hypercentralization of net assets prior to the migration phase of the Jewish organism’s life-cycle:

I thought that the Jewish group organism would use the crisis brought on by the centralization of wealth to just grab the money and run/diaspawn, as it usually does.  I expected someone like Obama to step in with huge government programs funded by printed money filtered out to prop up consumer debt—causing hyperinflation—sooner than they have.  Instead, what has happened is the remedial action has been delayed until literally trillions of new money is pumped in at the top of the financial system to help bankers take control of vast tracts of houses while emptying their former residents into tent cities around the nation—further centralizing wealth prior to the hyperinflation.  The motive for this is simple enough—unbounded greed—but to actually pull it off was something I didn’t explicitly anticipate 2 years ago when I first made my prediction of a Weirmar-like hyperinflationary depression.

So, we’re now seeing the bailout money being used to further centralize hard asset ownership while insulating Jewish elites from the effects of hyperinflation as they prepare to migrate to greener pastures in the Jewish organism’s life-cycle of horizontal transmission.

Here is the scarcely punctuated and poorly expressed blurb to a book titled What Shall We Tell the Children, written by Dr Stuart J. Foster.  It was published in 2006.

The pages of this book illustrate that as instruments of socialization and sites of ideological discourse textbooks are powerful artefacts in introducing young people to a specific historical, cultural and socioeconomic order. Crucially, exploring the social construction of school textbooks and the messages they impart provides an important context from within which to critically investigate the dynamics underlying the cultural politics of education and the social movements that form it and which are formed by it. The school curriculum is essentially the knowledge system of a society incorporating its values and its dominant ideology. The curriculum is not “our knowledge” born of a broad hegemonic consensus, rather it is a battleground in which cultural authority and the right to define what is labelled legitimate knowledge is fought over. As each chapter in this book illustrates curriculum as theory and practice has never been, and can never be, divorced from the ethical, economic, political, and cultural conflicts of society which impact so deeply upon it. We cannot escape the clear implication that questions about what knowledge is of most worth and about how it should be organized and taught are problematic, contentious and very serious.

There is something deeply offensive about the knowledge of the workings of the mind claimed by these educationalist creatures.  Everything is somebody’s myth, they say.  It’s all relative.  It’s all about power ... all about politics.  The only question is whether we are serious about building a better, more tolerant, more equal world.  Etc, etc.

I’m glad I’m not a “senior lecturer in History in Education” like Dr Foster.  I can cling to the fond belief that the point of educating children is to equip them with the capacity to think for themselves all life long.  But Dr Foster very specifically does NOT share that belief.  In his mean little world, students are no more than human blotting-paper - except, of course, those like his own student self who possess the powers to freely discriminate for the marxian concept of Man.  Gods in a postmodern system that makes the rest of us less than human, they are the final word in hypocrisy.

Now I’ve got that off my chest, I will explain.

Due to all the nonsense regarding political economy and real estate nowadays, I figured I’d start posting some of my thoughts as they occur to me on the relationship between political economy and asset value, particularly liquidation value in-place, since people are finally starting to at least pretend to be interested in the fundamentals of political economy.

The erratic behavior early in the graph may be due to early errors in sampling when Google Labs was trying to get this tool up and running.

The lads in their hundreds to Ludlow come in for the fair,
There’s men from the barn and the forge and the mill and the fold,
The lads for the girls and the lads for the liquor are there,
And there with the rest are the lads that will never be old.

There’s chaps from the town and the field and the till and the cart,
And many to count are the stalwart, and many the brave,
And many the handsome of face and the handsome of heart,
And few that will carry their looks or their truth to the grave.

I wish one could know them, I wish there were tokens to tell
The fortunate fellows that now you can never discern;
And then one could talk with them friendly and wish them farewell
And watch them depart on the way that they will not return.

But now you may stare as you like and there’s nothing to scan;
And brushing your elbow unguessed-at and not to be told
They carry back bright to the coiner the mintage of man,
The lads that will die in their glory and never be old.

AE Housman’s remarkably prophetic “The Lads in their hundreds to Ludlow come in for the fair”, from his collection “A Shropshire Lad” of 1896, later set to music by George Butterworth.

Last Sunday afternoon BBC Radio 3 broadcast a highly interesting contribution to its Discovering Music series titled Vaughan Williams and the Lost Generation.  The highly interesting aspect of it was its concentration on early 20th century English music thematically drawn from some deeply recondite folk sources - what presenter Stephen Johnson terms “music of the people”.

This reaching towards the life of the rural people by artists and intellectuals was a political fashion on the left at the time, but a rather honourable one given that Marx was already entering the working class movements of the industrial centres.  The leading musical spirit of the time was Ralph Vaughan Williams, who died fifty years ago this year.  He, along with other young composers, broke with the High Victorian conventions and sought out ancient English folk songs at their source.  Vaughan Williams spent his entire professional life in the act of reaching musically for a spirit of landscape and of people, and he is probably known and loved for it by English music-lovers more today than at any time in the past.

On the occasion of the ninetieth anniversary of the signing of the Armistice (as I post this it is already the 11th day of the 11th month in England), it is mete to remember the meaning of this search for an English essence.  The search for self, and a putting away of falsehood, is always a valid exercise.  When the French speak of La France Profonde, this self, ageless and unchanging, is what they mean.  For those lingering romantics at the turn of the 20th century who looked at urban life and saw nothing but falsehood and artifice there was only one, now all-changed place to search out a cure.

But as an intellectual fashion, the search itself died in the trenches of Northern France.  When peace finally returned it was gone.  One can argue, I think, that with the witness died the thing itself.  The connection to the land, the character of place were greeted thereafter with a general disinterest.  The national focus was on the city and on the struggle of the industrial poor, which meant that the spirit of a deeper and more inchoate English reality ceased to be any kind of professionally useful metric.
