Theo and the Dutch A year ago today Theo Van Gogh was murdered in an Amsterdam street by Mohammed Bouyeri - a Dutch-born Morrocan or, as Theo would have had it, a goat-fucker. Incorrigibly difficult, no doubt, and rude and brave, Theo was a right-wing advocate of liberty and an implacable enemy of censorship. For this he was killed and for this, too, he is admired - unquestionably more now than ever during his lifetime. Admiration for Theo has been expressed all across the political spectrum in Holland because, quite simply, there has to be room for people like him in Dutch society, of all societies. What people liked about the fabled Dutch tolerance was precisely that. In stark contrast, Bouyeri’s actions are not simply an extreme expression of intolerance but are intolerable to the point of being anti-Dutch. The exceptions to this view come from those Theo most opposed, meaning anybody connected to the Dutch government and “the establishment”, and those he gleefully offended, meaning Jews and Moslems and the professional anti-white lobby. From the first moments after Bouyeri struck, people understood that something big had happened. It is still happening, and Theo’s memory is an inextricable part of that. Here are a few photographs that, I hope, catch the spirit of what, in death, Theo - with all his addiction to controversy, all his irritable and irritating outspokenness - has come to mean to the Dutch.

The last paragraph of today’s entry has an archive of the blog’s TVG material of the past year. This entry from December 13 2004 contains translations of TVG’s writings. The paragraph on the Amsterdam mayor kowtowing to Muslims after 9/11 is interesting: 3
Posted by Truth Be Told on Wed, 02 Nov 2005 17:04 | # The size of the crowds, and with their near complete whiteness, along with the makeshift memorials of flowers and posters are good evidence of a stirring in the group consciousness of the white Dutch. This anniversary is getting the same blackout treatment in America given to the French rioters. Methinks the globalization elite clique’ is getting concerned for the progress of their mission. Whites are not in revolt yet, but they have shown a remarkably consistent pattern of volutary re-segregation. Not as easy as Zionist Sumner Redstone’s MTV would like. 4

Posted by Alexei on Wed, 02 Nov 2005 18:35 | # Impressive, to say the least. But what is the message of that (half-?) naked couple in the third photo from the top? Perhaps the inscription on the lady’s body is the key—“ik ben” something—could somebody explain? 7
Posted by Bill on Wed, 02 Nov 2005 22:02 | # ‘Ik ben ook een Theo Van Gogh” means “I am also a theo van gogh” —she’s saying that she stands up the the muslims also. I’m so delighted to see that the dutch (my heritage) are finally taking a stand. 8

Posted by Fred Scrooby on Thu, 03 Nov 2005 02:45 | # ”<u>What kind of society</u>, after enduring the tragedy of September 11, continues not only to allow the coreligionists of the September 11 terrorists to flourish within its borders but to invite even more to cross those borders and take up residence within? The answer is simple: Only a dying society would accept the presence of such a fifth column. And only a society with a death wish would take the further step of praising that fifth column and encouraging its members to remain true to their religion of war.” —Scott Richert, via <u>The Ambler</u> 10
Posted by SBJ on Thu, 03 Nov 2005 08:09 | # Sites such as this one are a tremendous resource. It’s been said that Islamists (Arabs) are engaged in a global insurgency. But who knows? Whites enjoy the internet frequency and could get a lucky break. Who’s to say what will happen in the future. 11
Posted by Alexei on Thu, 03 Nov 2005 09:05 | # Thank you, Bob. By the way, this sad anniversary coincides with Moslem rioting in Paris. I wonder how the Dutch government would react if something like that started in Amsterdam? 12
Posted by Johan Van Vlaams on Thu, 03 Nov 2005 11:27 | # To Kubilai: See the commemoration in Holland by, among others, prime minister Balkenende. On the cardboard is written: u bent één jaar te laat op deze plek (you are one year too late on this place) To Matra: You write: This entry from December 13 2004 contains translations of TVG’s writings. The paragraph on the Amsterdam mayor kowtowing to Muslims after 9/11 is interesting: This is an excerpt out of a larger text. By that time I myself made a translation of the same, i. e. van Gogh’s last press article in Metro (see below). In all modesty I would pretend that it gives a better image of van Gogh’s style and about the way he provoked the Muslims, not only by some of his well known one-liners that caricature him, but also in a more sophisticated way. BTW, possibly this article played a much bigger role than is generally accepted. Metro is a newspaper that reaches 1.467.000 people in Holland and currently is Amsterdam’s biggest. I even have the guts to make the very Political Incorrect remark, that because it is a free newspaper, I expect them to have relatively much Moroccan readers. The article/column: 13
Posted by Al Ross on Sat, 05 Nov 2005 04:29 | # Good news. The American actor/director Steve Buscemi is going to remake Theo Van Gogh’s movies, according to a ‘diary’ he writes for London’s Daily Telegraph. Go Steve. 14
Posted by Fred Scrooby on Sat, 05 Nov 2005 16:30 | # Al Ross, we were all outraged at Theo van Gogh’s murder but as for his films, I don’t know that a right-thinking person would consider them anything to cheer about. Furthermore, Steve Buscemi isn’t exactly what one would call ... how to put it? ... what one would call, shall we say, a wholesome-minded individual with, shall we say, wholesome tastes in things ... (which explains his attraction to the idea of re-making van Gogh’s films ...). Van Gogh was probably like his great great uncle: a very good man but insane. The fact that his slaughter was an immense shame, wrong, outrage, and filthy, sickening crime doesn’t mean his artistic creations or all of his political views were palatable. 15
Posted by Al Ross on Sun, 06 Nov 2005 01:41 | # Fred Scrooby, any artistic endeavor which tells the sorry truth about the disgusting behavior of Muslims in Europe towards women( or any other group) should surely be welcomed. I would not be interested in cinematic critiques of Muslim pathologies as played out in their own homelands(after all, what does one expect from a pig but a grunt, to employ an unislamic analogy). With regards to Buscemi’s moral character, it is of no moment. Walt Whitman wrote very fine poetry, the literary judgement of which is unaffected by the fact that he was a pederastic pedophile. 16
Posted by Fred Scrooby on Sun, 06 Nov 2005 02:09 | # Al Ross, thanks for your reply. I’m not a fan of Walt Whitman’s poetry, by the way (reading it has always been torture for me and I’m sincerely baffled at the celebrity the man acquired)—but let’s accept the common opinion of his greatness. Buscemi is no Walt Whitman, I don’t think I need to point out, but a pathetic little marginal twerp on the fringes of acting and directing. As for van Gogh’s art films, his first film, in the early 80s I think it was, ended with a guy killing the female lead by shoving the barrel of a revolver up her private parts and pulling the trigger—and that was after a filmful of similar weird, disgusting nonsense apparently. Look, the fact I don’t think the Imams should have put a price on Salman Rushdie’s head doesn’t mean his book had literary value—which I don’t for one second believe it did. 18
Posted by Al Ross on Sun, 06 Nov 2005 10:41 | # Fred Scrooby, thank you for your comment.Accusing a non-believer,as Theo Van Gogh was, of blasphemy is like accusing a teetotaller of inebriation. One of the most baneful forces in the downward spiral of our race has been a mindless devotion to the Jewish-invented Jesus cult, not to mention its spookless derivatives Communism and Liberalism. If one had to design the belief-system most inimical to our racial interests and most unsuited to the White psyche, Christianity would be it. 19
Posted by Fred Scrooby on Sun, 06 Nov 2005 22:12 | # Al, there is way too much effeminate liberalism in today’s Christianity, granted. That’s not intrinsic to Christianity, though—for counter-examples look at Jesuit Catholicism in general, or John Knox, or John Calvin’s or Martin Luther’s Protestantism, or Oliver Cromwell’s masculine version of Christianity, or that of the Italian Renaissance, or of the early Church fathers in Palestine, Asia Minor, and Greece, or, for that matter, of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Bloody Mary, and Elizabeth I. Look at the Eastern Orthodox Church: it’s not infected, or not to anywhere near the extent we are in the West with the likes of John Spong, Rowan Williams, and about two-thirds of the current Vatican Court. It can change: what has been can be again. Just to clarify, when I said I disliked blasphemers I meant all of them, not just blasphemers of Christianity. Van Gogh blasphemed Christianity and Islam, of course, and I oppose that, as regards both. I deeply respect Christianity, which is my own religion, and also Islam, and all serious religions (Santaria, Wicca, and the like don’t qualify as serious religions in my view). Rushdie, for example, blasphemed Islam, and I oppose that. From what I’ve read he could’ve said what he felt he had to say without going out of his way to blaspheme. There shouldn’t be a fatwa on him obviously—but that doesn’t mean he’s not a disrespectful, contemptible little no-talent creep—which is exactly what he is (and a radical left-winger to boot). The guy makes my skin crawl, to put it frankly. 20
Posted by Al Ross on Sun, 06 Nov 2005 23:32 | # Fred, your consistency regarding the antique offensive of blasphemy does you credit. However some of your ‘counter-examples’ of muscular Christianity are unusual to say the least. To take just one instance, Oliver Cromwell repealed several centuries worth of that part of England’s penal code which banned Jews from settling in England.The proscription had been in force since(if memory serves)the year 1290 and its revocation was contrary to the interests of the English people. 21
Posted by Fred Scrooby on Mon, 07 Nov 2005 02:49 | # Al, I see what you’re saying—that Cromwell’s inviting the Jews back into England can be viewed in a way as resembling today’s liberal multi-culti program of inviting alien cultures into our midst. But my understanding is he did it not from a 1600s version of today’s liberalism—i.e., not from some 1600s impulse to destroy, to destroy what normalness and rooted tradition they knew in those days by diluting it with things utterly alien—but rather from exactly the opposite impulse: a Biblically-based conviction that the Jews were an integral part of Christian tradition in its deepest sense, so that ending their exclusion from England helped to “complete” Christianity there and, if anything, strengthen not weaken its roots. That motivation would be absolute anathema to today’s multi-culti liberals who accept only what leads to Christianity’s destruction whether through direct or indirect means, never to its strengthening. But my overall reference in my comments was to the lack of balance in Christianity, not necessarily to a need for a more “muscular” Christianity. Christianity is best when it’s dominated neither by effeminateness nor by an outlook that’s excessively masculine to the diminishment of the feminine virtues: it needs balance. And masculinity doesn’t necessarily mean “muscular” in an unnuanced sense—men also have compassion, gentleness, forebearance, and so on, but masculine versions of all those. In Christianity today, one too often looks in vain for masculine versions of those: effeminate versions seem to dominate for some reason. That’s why today’s Christianity is a de facto ally of race-replacement: the ability to perceive those realities men know as race and the nation-state is not something the feminine spirit possesses in abundance. The female brain doesn’t easily see either race or the nation-state. The predominance in today’s Christianity of an effeminate rather than a balanced outlook needs to change and doubtless will: the pendulum swings. I estimate we’re about a century-and-a-half into it, and my guess is it won’t last too much longer before there’s some restoration of a more proper balance. 22

Beautiful peace, GW. The pictures are wonderful. Does anyone have any idea if there is a remembrance for TVG on this most unfortunate of anniversaries in Holland?
