This is rather a hit and miss sampling of the good and bad of Eastern and Western pop-culture, apart from Bruce Lee, who I’ve recently discovered had a very neat philosophy of selfhood. I’m really sorry to have to say we should go to the East to get us out of this modernist mess we’re in, to get a sense of perspective if nothing else. Take the tripartite blandbusters of Nolan, Cameron and Ridley Scott (Interstellar, Inception, Invalid) is a blitz of prefabricated preposterousness. These sci-fi buffs always cite 2001 (hugely influencial on the East) whereas, in fact, the 1969 marathon has little dialogue and few ideas apart from primeval apes, a monolith and a star-child. Almost everything else is assumptions from our (collective) subconscious – therein lies its power. Lee’s statement “all knowledge is self-knowledge” never seemed more appropriate.

Staying with film, low-budget HK kung fu films have much more credibility than modern yawnathons, for the reason they’re much less thought-out – it’s fast and furious on-the-set. In Fist Of Fury, Lee plays a lone-wolf apprentice avenging his master’s murder by the Bushido school in Japanese-era Shanghai. There’s a startling clash between the cutesy-ornate period alleyways and Lee’s animal nature, gnawing at fresh dog-meat in a picturesque park to the tune of crickets (very 2001). Ornate patterns are pure atmosphere, rendering the Japanese habitats sparse and spacey, the geishas taking on an artificial aura. The climactic battle is fought to the tune of frogs croaking. That’s class.

Primitivism and rarefied artifice – eternal themes. Lee’s animal nature is also an artifice; he combines in one figure uncompromising absolutism with technical pragmatism. Absolutism is to be the centre of action, the still centre, calm and untroubled. One becomes in touch with one’s instinctive nature. Everything instinctive has an artificial quality because it makes us aware of the action taking place, the fight for existence, predator and prey. We become fully differentiated, man and woman, life and death. Fairy-tale fantasy-mode (I’m looking at you, Dawkins clones).

Beauty, Pride and Happiness

Being born and bred in London and knowing nothing else but ubiquitous multi- culturalism, it’s very difficult for people of my generation and younger to envisage an all English London, or Britain for that matter. Using myself as an example, I’ve never been in a public space which has been 100% English. Always does the spectre of multi- culturalism reveal itself, even in the most remote towns of England.

Most of you have had a palpable taste of what a homogeneous White country is like, but we haven’t! Therefore we desperately need to create this image of what a future, homogeneous White country would look like.

This has to be done, I think, through the culture. We need poetry, art, music and festivals (and fun) to hit those primal, emotive, tribal nerves.

On my streets I see minority White kids speaking like Jamaican gangsters. Why? Because they’ve had to adapt themselves culturally to the demographic reality in order to survive. Why isn’t there a cultural well from which they can gain strength and pride to overcome this imposition?

I’m not suggesting we become more liberally trendy, or neglect the hardcore topics, but we need to inject some life into this thing. To inject pride into our people, of the beauty of our people especially in homogeneity, and happiness (smiles and laughter) - because we’ve got enough tears and misery.

There is nothing particularly enlightening or original about my post, nevertheless as you know there is a complete absence of positivity in being English et al. I thought I could shed some light on why, perhaps, younger people aren’t being attracted to nationalism - or more importantly, being what they’re naturally supposed to be.

Although this is not an example from England, I think this is the kind of thing we should be doing and the kind of image we want to exhibit to all our people (especially the young) in our own unique authentic forms: Beauty, pride and happiness.

The most viciously attacked and oppressed political party in the Western world is fighting a legislative election on 25 January 2015.  This is the snap election called to elect all 300 members to the Hellenic Parliament when Parliament failed, in large measure because of the votes of Golden Dawn’s 21 MPs, to confirm the current government’s hand-picked successor to the out-going Karolos Papoulias as President of Greece.

The opinion polls tell a story of waning popularity for Golden Dawn.  The party, though, disdains them and points to polling which shows a more resilient level of support:

When the results of the election are announced, they say, they will be revealed as the third force in Greek politics and the only true opposition to a kleptocratic and traitorous Establishment.

That Establishment, meanwhile, continues to bear down relentlessly on Golden Dawn.  Required by electoral law to allow it national TV access during the campaign, just one appearance of the minimum prescribed length has been offered by ANT1.  And this was it, presented by Kostas Alexandrakis, Golden Dawn candidate in the Attica region:

On the radio page, Jez Turner, organiser of the London New Right Forum..
       
..speaks to GW and Daniel about the forum, of course, plus the liberal hypocrisy that runs through the Charlie Hebdo issue, awakening our people, and the state of the movement. He is particularly good value, gives us a couple of readings and even some forbidden poetry from Lord Alfred Douglas!

- In Excelsis, verse 15:

‘The leprous spawn of scattered Israel

Note:  Douglas’s poetry was highly regarded by George Bernard Shaw, Frank Harris and Augustus John among others. This poem is in the Petrarchan Sonnet style at which Lord Alfred Douglas excelled – an annual Cambridge University Petrarchan Sonnet prize is awarded in his honour to the best such sonnet composed by a current student.
