Jean-Marie Le Pen, Front National member of the European Parliament, given just 4 minutes to explain the world to Monsieur Bruni, le président de la page trois.

He did alright.

Slavic languages specialist Barbara de Munnynck, who is Flemish, devotes two full pages in the Flemish newspaper De Standaard (December 8, 2006) to enthusiastically paying homage to Russian author Alexander Solzhenitsyn.  She retraces and analyses his whole body of work and writes this very fitting conclusion:

Solzhenitsyn is no longer in fashion.  It’s because of the recent political upheavals.  Simply put, this man by his nature stands apart from all fashion.  Though known as a political writer, he’s closer to a religion-inspired moralist.  He critiqued the Soviet dicatorship from a spiritual point of view, not in the name of an alternative political ideology.  Measured against the yardstick of Solzhenitsyn’s ethical criteria, neither the West nor the New Russia has any worth.  For these reasons Solzhenitsyn might be considered merely a grumpy old man or a perennial dissident.  No matter:  his attitude toward life, one of coherence, commands respect.  It was forged under trying circumstances and has certain things in common with the Christian humanism of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Edmund Burke.  Solzhenitsyn is a venerable prophet whose message exists beyond the passage of time.  The enthusiasm for him personally during the Cold War was as strange as the disinterest in him today.

Keen cuckoo clock observers will no doubt be aware of Sunday’s election in the gun-toting, bank-ridden concantenated canton-nation called Switzerland.  The result was a resounding success for billionaire industrialist Christoph Blocher’s Swiss People’s Party, and for white sheep everywhere.

The SVP already holds two of the seven seats on the ruling Federal Council, and is the largest party in the bicameral parliament.  As forecast it increased its share of the poll from 27.7% to 29%, continuing its steady progress from the 22% base won in 1999.

Ueli Maurer (who is, in fact, party leader - not Blocher) said, “We have reached the highest score ever since this electoral system began.”

This is impressive by any nationalist measure, and compares with the solid if, now, unspectacular success of Vlaams Belang in Flemish Belgium.  Notwithstanding the SVP’s entrenchment within the power structure, and its consequent and enviable freedom to speak only a lightly varnished truth, there are some interesting parallels between the two parties.

Both present a substantially Conservative - not overtly racial nationalist - prospectus to the electorate.  Both have a spiritual disconnection with their French-speaking social democratic fellow-nationals.  Both have to play the self-righteous left’s game and deny that they are “racist”, and are pilloried all the same:-

But the SVP has its share of power in the most democratic country in Europe, and it shows in campaign policies like:-

Foreign residents who commit crimes in Switzerland should be expelled after serving their sentences. If they are minors, the parents should be expelled with them.

The construction of minarets - the traditional tower of a mosque - should be forbidden in Switzerland.

When foreign residents of a commune want to acquire Swiss citizenship, the commune should continue to have the right to put their applications to a popular vote.

Foreigners who do not learn the language of the area in which they are resident must leave the country.

The party will surely now claim a mandate to push forward with these ideas.  It will be interesting to see to what extent it succeeds.

Norman Lowell, he of Imperium Europa and the subject of a very good Renner interview at the end of January, is now podcasting.  He kindly sent me links to his opening English language broadcasts, which are numbers two and four in the series (numbers one and three were recorded in Maltese).

Podcast Number Two explores the Imperium Europa duality idea and clarifies certain misconceptions.  Podcast Number Four explores the concepts of Dominium and Imperium.

Ave!

A very good day, in fact.  Vlaams Belang’s chairman, Frank Vanhecke, characterised his Party’s local election performance as “a landslide”.  But mindful, no doubt, of the political Establishment’s past record he said, “There is no way to disregard this victory.”

From The Indy:-

Early results showed the party had gained 5.6 percentage points to reach 20.6 per cent in the 308 municipal councils across Flanders, the northern Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, and surged beyond its traditional stronghold in Antwerp.

However in Antwerp itself, Belgium’s second largest city, the party appeared to be simply treading water, winning the same one third of the vote that it captured in the last regional elections. That made it far from clear that the Vlaams Belang, which means Flemish Interest, had made enough progress to force other parties to allow it to share power.

Actually, VB increased its vote share in Antwerp to 33.5%.  Its relegation from first to second place came about through dramatic gains by the Socialists, inspired by their popular mayor Patrick Janssens.  They took 35.3% of the city’s vote, in large measure because support for Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt’s Flemish Liberal Democrats fell away badly.  “The average trend of the Party is not so good,” he said, “We must acknowledge that the government has had a few bad months and we know that whoever leads faces the most fire.”

Now, as before, we will see the anti-Flemish parties in Antwerp form a coalition to keep VB out of power.  The road is a long one for VB.  But these results are their best ever, and demonstrate that that road is being travelled all across Flanders.

Nick Griffin broke his long silence on the Jewish Question today with a lengthy article you can read here.

He seems to have been goaded into action by criticism from American WN’s, presumably occasioned at the Amren Conference at which he was a speaker.  He makes an interesting case - the right case for Britain, no doubt.

In it he pays some respect, at least, to ethnic genetic interests, which is the first time I have heard these three promising words from any leading BNP official.  He acknowledges the well-known negative aspects of the Jewish philosophical contribution to Western politics.  He stresses very few potential positives to be got from engagement with Jews, so I wouldn’t necessarily put him in the “Taylor camp”.  The attraction seems to be conflict avoidance ... don’t start a war on two fronts.  One of them, against Jewry, you can never win.  And losing that will lose you the other war as well - the war you must win.

My only real criticism of this article is that he directs his fire at obvious and easy targets but declines the most serious and interesting.  Conspiracy theorists and “activists of German descent” come in for most of it.  I am not sure how much he gains by bearding these guys while leaving the MacDonald thesis unaddressed.  He acknowledges that highly intelligent Ashkenazics take leading roles in every political-philosophical argument, not merely those of the left.  This is true, and he cites TBC and the great Richard Hernnstein, for example.  But, Hernnstein was still acting out of his perceived ethnic interests, a factor which Griffin prefers not to mention.

So, if Jewish activism in toto is indeed doggedly ethnocentric and as such a survival strategy, as MacDonald contends, then what possible change can be effected through rapprochement?  The answer seems simply to be “None but it does not matter - it is realpolitik.”

The prospects are great for ecologically imposed patriarchy enhancing the fertility of whites via oceanic frontiers.  The majority of the earth’s surface remains not only uncultivated, but not biologically productive despite the presence of adequate sunlight and near-adequate nutrients. If recent experiments in iron fertilization of high nitrogen low chlorophyll oceanic surface regions are any indication, the primary ingredient lacking is the pioneering spirit that led to the cultivation and increased carrying capacity of the Anglosphere’s frontier territories: The United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.  It is reasonable to expect that the Anglosphere alone could increase its numbers by a factor of 10, relatively unmolested by multicultural supremacists, during this pioneering renaissance and maintain if not improve the quality of their populations.  Other, less sea-faring European peoples could enjoy smaller but nevertheless profound population and territorial relief.  Moreover this population increase could be very rapid if the fertility rates of the United States frontier is any guide.  This is a prospect that seems plausible in no other way short of world war.
