Reviled by the media … ordered by the Pope to recant … sacked from his post as head of the the traditionalist Society of St Pius X Seminary at La Reja, outside Buenos Aires, the good bishop Richard Williamson is now facing possible prosecutions in three countries.  They are Germany:

Regensburg District Attorney Guenther Ruckdaeschel said authorities were investigating whether the remarks can be considered “inciting racial hatred.” Denying the Holocaust is a crime in Germany, punishable by up to five years in prison.

… Ruckdaeschel decided to launch his investigation in Regensburg because the Williamson interview was conducted at a seminar of the Society of Saint Pius X, of which Williamson is a member, in the nearby town of Zaitzkofen.

… Ruckdaeschel says he will attempt to question the two Swedish reporters who conducted the interview. He said it was unlikely Williamson would have to appear in court because he is currently in Argentina, but the bishop may be required to submit a written statement in the case.

Argentina:

Richard Williamson, the British-born bishop whose excommunication was reversed by Pope Benedict XVI in January, is now the subject of a complaint before an Argentine federal court. The 68-year-old bishop stands accused of denying the Holocaust, according to evidence presented before Judge Julian Ercolini. In addition to

Tuesday’s complaint, he may face further charges. The head of Argentina’s National Institute against Discrimination (INADI), Maria Jose Lubertino, said Williamson would also have to correct or confirm his claims. “He is obliged to clarify the veracity of his claims. We are going to make a formal legal complaint and he may face up to three years in prison,” Lubertino said.

The institute has asked for copies of a Swedish television interview in which Williamson negates the existence of gas chambers in the extermination of six million Jews, Roma, and others during the regime led by Adolph Hitler.

and France:

A French human rights group says it will press charges against a Holocaust-denying British bishop.

The International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism said Wednesday in a statement that it would charge Richard Williamson with “contesting crimes against humanity” and denying the Holocaust in an article published in the German der Spiegel magazine and in a television interview.

In an interview published Monday in der Spiegel, Williamson said he needed “proof” that the Nazis used gas chambers to murder Jews during the Holocaust, despite a recent request by Pope Benedict XVI that the rehabilitated bishop distance himself from such views.

The pope’s January reinstatement of Williamson after 20 years of excommunication caused a global outcry.

A Wednesday poll by the daily Le Parisien showed 70 percent of French respondents disapproved of the pope’s decision to reinstate Williamson and three other ultra-conservative bishops. Some 27 percent said they approved.

In search of “proof”, meanwhile, the Bishop has ordered a copy of Jean-Claude Pressac’s Auschwitz: Technique And Operation Of The Gas Chambers.  If that was seen by his persecutors as an emolient measure of a chastened man seeking a way out, they may be thinking differently following his latest posting at his blog, Dinoscopus, which I reproduce below the fold in full.

One of the weapons used to destroy our young people is what is known as the Culture Wars.  Modern, popular music transmits raw uninhibited energy, emotion and excitement, often with tunes that are catchy enough.  But is negative and corruptive. Those who doubt this need only listen to, say, Heavy Metal or Rap, and then, perhaps, some Tudor church music, and compare the feelings and images that are aroused.  The first produce the desire to hurt or mistreat others, the second, an uplifting spiritual sense and a good feeling towards God and others.

The state of a civilisation can be assessed by its art.  There are deep similarities between our collapsing civilisation and the collapse of Greece and Rome, and we need to use their historical example as guides to correcting our own folly.  The modern manipulators are leading us into degeneracy through popular culture.

In the TV series, I’m a Celebrity Get Me out of Here, an annual show made by Granada Productions, simple people, described as Celebrities, are so degraded as to eat live worms and stick insects.  There are several levels to this degradation.  There is the cruelty it licences towards lower animals.  There is the encouragement to children to eat insects and slugs in the garden.  There is the nihilistic invitation always to indulge in further degradation as nothing more than a means of fun and entertainment.

Literally anything goes.  On one “reality” programme the appropriately named Rebecca Loos, a woman who is “famous” for an alleged affair with David Beckham while employed as his personal assistant, masturbated a pig.  On another show she fried and ate Kangaroo testicles.  This can only degrade our people and our culture.

The British press has been full of the Affair of Andrew Sachs’ answer-phone.  A full transcript of the offending Radio Two and web broadcast of October 16th is here.

The details of the case and the sticky ends and financial pain of the wrongdoers are very tiresome.  I’m more interested in the sociological significance of a prank call gone disastrously wrong that leads to an amazing 30,000 people registering complaints with the BBC, steals the headlines away from global financial meltdown, and forces top BBC management into a five-hour emergency damage-control meeting.

To find out what’s going on here one has to look back to the Thatcher years, and the change to broadcast comedy that was wrought by a new generation of producers, writers and comics.  This was Alternative Comedy.  What had began as stand-up for a young and educated, right-on audience that, naturally enough, had no respect for the established way of doing things was soon brought into the mainstream of broadcasting.

The sheeple laughed at their little glowing tubes just the same.  All at once it was funny to see broken social taboos, and cool to deride the Thatcher government.  It had to be funny and cool because lots of people said it was.  So there.

Along the way the sheeple got to laugh at lots of things they never knew were worth laughing at before.  Men’s backsides, especially, but also any hitherto unspeakable bodily functions suddenly became riotously funny.  The sheeple seemed to understood that this was a humour, if one can call it that, predicated on racial and sexual equality.  They did not demurr.  It wouldn’t be cool.  The long tradition of the robust comedy characteristic of the British, and so loved by the working man, was being swept aside, and there was nobody around to prevent it.

So, Alternative Comedy’s proponents were, in their odd little world, revolutionaries, even those who were simply swept up in the outrageous audacity of it all.  These were the very first stirrings of political correctness this side of the Atlantic.  Its force and potency was not understood, nor its singular function of the ruthless dismantling of organic society.

Proof that the rainbow nation has lost its industrial skills base.

Ms Cherrie Booth, a judge and QC who is married to a former British Prime Minister, appeared before the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee today to give evidence on youth gun and knife crime.

Here are some of the words she used to describe those who engage in such criminality:-

teenagers ... younger children ... youths ... young people

Here is how Detective Superintendent Vic Rae of the Metropolitan Police’s Homicide and Serious Crime Command described the suspects in the mob-murder of a white 16 year-old, Ben Kinsella:-

He appealed for witnesses to the disturbance in the nightclub to come forward.

Mr Rae said: “We know that there was a number of people in the club when there was a disturbance. This disturbance spilled out into North Road, Islington and up the road.”

He said the incident climaxed at the junction of North Road and York Way with the fatal stabbing of Ben.

He added: “At this moment in time we believe there were four black males involved in the stabbing. They were around about the same age of Ben or slightly older.”

Now, this is unusual frankness from a member of the super-correct Met.  In any case, four male suspects have been arrested and bailed.

Much more of this sort of frankness and a certain question will slowly formulate in the national consciousness.  The right to ask it is being paid for in the blood of white children.  The fear of being labelled a racist is still very powerful, of course, and no doubt we are not there yet.  More innocent blood will be shed before fear and squeamishness lose their hold on the framing of public discourse.

When they do, that question will still stand and will have to be answered.  It is: how long can Cherie and all the rest of us avoid the conclusion that nine-tenths of the gun and knife problem is inate black violence?

Something odd happened today.  An Indian gentleman who holds a British passport, and domiciles in my home, not his, misunderstood his ethnic claim to the spoils of England to include rights of social engineering.

Really, how ridiculous is that?  Just put yourself in the place of any half-serious social engineer at the Beeb.  What did these poor fellows think when they opened the Guardian at breakfast this morning, and read this:-

Broadcasters have over-compensated for their lack of executives from ethnic minorities by putting too many black and Asian faces on screen, a leading television industry figure said last night.

Samir Shah, a member of the BBC’s board of directors, said this had led to a “world of deracinated coloured people flickering across our screens - to the irritation of many viewers and the embarrassment of the very people such actions are meant to appease”.

Shah, a former BBC head of current affairs who now runs an independent production company, Juniper, as well as being a non-executive director of the corporation, used a speech to the Royal Television Society to call for current TV industry diversity policies to be ditched because they were not working.

... Shah said UK television had to go back to the drawing board to increase the number of black and Asian executives.

Speaking to an audience of television insiders, Shah said: “The difficult truth I want you to accept is this: the equal opportunity policies we have followed over the last 30 years simply have not worked.

“Despite 30 years of trying, the upper reaches of our industry, the positions of real creative power in British broadcasting, are still controlled by a metropolitan, largely liberal, white, middle class, cultural elite - and, until recently, largely male and largely Oxbridge.

... Shah said the reason there were so few executives from ethnic minority backgrounds in broadcasting was not because of institutional racism, but because managers liked to “clone” themselves when picking other senior staff.

... Shah said that if the UK TV industry did not change, then further regulation might force reform upon it.

“If you want to avoid that happening then maybe the industry ought to start taking really seriously the need to tackle institutional cloning,” he added.

“We urgently need to break the cultural hegemony that has dominated broadcasting in Britain if we are to tap into, and not lose, the creativity among all our people. It’s time to force the change, before the change is forced upon you.”

Creativity!  Force!  How do you like that?  And what’s this about “deracinated coloured people” and irritated viewers?  The fellow just doesn’t get it, does he?  Just doesn’t understand what we are trying to do here, and how much he and his children will benefit if they will just stay in their proper station.

But quite apart from that, what on earth would be the point of introducing a system which does for all those ghastly jingoists, Little Englanders, assorted racists, homophobes and aspidistra-owners if it also does for one’s pampered and perfumed self?  I mean, it’s all very well for these jumped up Bengali tea-wallers to make a bit of money from their grocers shops and buy some Queen Sharon monstrosity in Stangate, but we don’t want things getting out of hand here.  We don’t want them thinking they can contribute to Our Patriarchal Labour.

One has to be clear about this sort of thing.  Because if one’s not, frankly, Yorum and Gilean in the DG’s office might be quite tempted to break ranks and knife us in the back.  They think they run the place all by themselves as it is.  Bastards.

Here are some interesting and even some good news stories from the Brit media.

Lead story in the Times:-

Tide turns as Poles end great migration

A wave of immigration that helped to fuel Britain’s early 21st century boom is over, as the Polish plumber and thousands like him go home.

The Times has established that, for the first time since they began arriving en masse four years ago, more UK-based Poles are returning to their homeland than are entering Britain.

Statistics show that only 38,680 Poles signed up to the Government’s register of migrant workers in the third quarter of 2007, a slump of 18 per cent from the previous year. Polish officials say that Poles leaving the country outnumber thoses coming in.

Hard statistics on the number of Poles leaving Britain do not exist. There are no embarkation controls on EU members so they are are not counted out. But Polish officials, British employment agencies and the Polish media all believe that the tide of immigration has turned. Since Poland joined the EU in 2004, 274,065 Poles have signed up for work permits. They make up 66 per cent of all applications from Eastern European countries.

But a combination of tightening economic conditions in this country, a comparatively weak pound and an unprecendented surge in the Polish economy has made it unattractive for Poles to remain.

“At the end of last year we saw the tipping point,” Krzysztof Trepczynski, Minister for Economic Development at the Polish Embassy in London, said. “It’s a real change. There are now definitely more Poles going back to Poland.

Go Donald Tusk, I suppose.

A translation by Fred Scrooby of an interview with Yves-Marie Laulan, author of Les Nations Suicidaires (1998).  Yves-Marie Laulon, economist and banker, has had a varied career that has taken him from French government cabinet posts to such international institutions as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and NATO, as well as positions with Société Générale de Banques and Crédit Municipal of Paris.  He has taught in a number of universities, including the Institute for Political Studies in Paris.  He has published a dozen works on economics and geopolitics in France and abroad.

The interview was conducted by Xavier Cheneseau, and was published Dec. 28 at Robert Steuckers’ Euro-Synergies website.  The original entry doesn’t give the interview’s date.  (Judging by certain details in the text, it may be a few years old.)

Xavier Cheneseau:  With regard to demographics you seem willfully pessimistic …

Yves-Marie Laulan:  It isn’t the author’s comments that are violent but the situation that is violent.

In fact it’s already nearly too late.  Demographic phenomena — the ones I’m dealing with, at any rate — have this special characteristic, that they are slow and they proceed largely unnoticed, precisely until it is too late.

Wartime ravages can be repaired in a few years — Germany and France managed it.  Recovery from the consequences of an economic crisis doesn’t take long.  But demographic damage can take decades, even centuries, to recover from — when recovery is possible at all. […]

But you’re partly right:  I’ve deliberately taken a provocative tone, because you need to make a loud racket to awaken the deaf.  And look at the dumbed down, dullened public opinion we are dealing with, anesthetized by daily bombardment with mass media!  Where filtering of information is concerned, today’s France resembles Ceaucescu’s Romania, only a more efficient version. 

Faced with this situation, a dissident having ideas that are out of the ordinary, such as myself — Soviet Russia’s Samizdat, as Pierre Chaunu calls it — humbly cherishes the hope, perhaps, of being, if possible, the watcher at dawn spoken of in the Bible (Isaiah), the one who remains alone at his post all night waiting for the dawn to break.
