There is a lot of noise in our corner of the political world about the protests by Dutch farmers against government restrictions on the land-use of nitrous oxide.  Farmers Weekly explains:

Thousands of farmers in the Netherlands have taken part in protests against Dutch government plans to slash greenhouse gas emissions.

The protestors blocked motorways with columns of slow-moving tractors as farmers descended on the Dutch parliament buildings in The Hague.

Amsterdam and other cities were also brought to a standstill as farmers torched straw bales, spread slurry across streets and let off fireworks, according to the Associated Press. In some cities, dozens of farmers were arrested after violent clashes with police.

Sporadic violence also broke out between police and farmers at the largest rally last week, which drew an estimated 40,000 protesters to the town of Stroe.

The protests coincided with a parliamentary vote on a proposed £22bn programme to halve agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide and ammonia by 2030.

In some areas, close to nature reserves, the policy is tougher still, with 70-95% reductions targeted.

... despite the protests, the Dutch coalition government, led by prime minister Mark Rutte’s People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy, approved the proposals.

Following the vote, the Netherlands House of Representatives released a statement which said: “The honest message is that not all farmers will continue in business. Those who do will have to farm differently.”

The protests have been going on since 22nd June.  The farmers have regularly blocked roads and picketed outside distribution centres and supermarkets.  They moved their focus today to Groningen Airport Eelde, located in the north-east of the country.

Mark Rutte’s government is accused of interpreting EU regulations on farming nitrogen use far more strictly and ideologically than any other national government in the union.  Anti-globalists, of course, see the hand of the WEF in the whole affair.  A pithy comment by a poster at ZH with the handle Kramerica Industries explains:

It’s all part of the WEF plan:
- they can’t force you to eat bugs and weeds (making you weak and docile) while you have access to meat, dairy and normal food (thus farms got to go)
- they can’t make you rent their electric golf carts if you have access to ICE vehicles and cheap (traditional) energy
- they can’t make you live in rented pods and never exit the megacities (leaving the planet to them), while you have access to private property, ICE vehicles and again, CHEAP ENERGY
So now you see how they arranged their chess pieces.

Text:

It is not the goal that renders the system oppressive; it is always the methods by which the goal is pursued.

Whenever a government claims to have the people’s interest at heart, you need to think again.

In the entire history of mankind, there has never been a political elite sincerely concerned about the well-being of regular people. What makes any of us think that it is different now?

If the Age of Enlightenment has brought forth anything, it is certainly this: Never take anything any government tells you at face value. Always question everything any government does or does not do. Always look for ulterior motives and always ask: Cui bono? Who benefits?

Whenever a political elite pushes an agenda this hard, and resort to extortion and manipulation to get their way, you can almost always be sure your benefit is definitely not what they have at heart.

As far as I am concerned, I will not be vaccinated with anything that has not been properly vetted and tested, and has shown no sound scientific evidence that the benefits outweigh the disease itself and possible long-term side effects, which to this day we don’t know anything about.

I will not be reduced to a mere guinea pig by getting vaccinated with an experimental drug. And I will most assuredly not get vaccinated because my government tells me to, and promises in return I will be granted freedom.

Let’s be clear about one thing: no one “grants” me freedom, for I am a free person.

So I dare the European Commission and the German government: Throw me in jail, lock me up and throw away the key, for all I care. But you will never be able to coerce me into being vaccinated if I, the free citizen, choose not to be vaccinated.

The Telegraph reports:

Nigel Farage quits politics - and this time he means it
The Reform Party leader is stepping back after almost three decades. But he’s still got the woke brigade in his crosshairs

Mr Farage announces he is resigning as leader of the Reform Party and turning his back on politics after three decades of political street fighting.

He says: “There is no going back - Brexit is done. That won’t be reversed. I know I’ve come back once or twice when people thought I’d gone, but this is it. It’s done. It’s over.

...

He adds: “Now’s the moment for me to say I’ve knocked on my last door. I’m going to step down as the leader of Reform UK. I’ll have no executive position at all. I’m quite happy to have an honorary one, but party politics, campaigning, being involved in elections, that is now over for me because I’ve achieved the one thing I set out to do: to achieve the independence of the UK.”

The 56-year-old insists that he had no plans to retire, saying: “I’m not packing up. I’m not off to play golf four afternoons a week and have half a bitter afterwards. That’s not happening.” Instead, he will be trying to influence the national debate on China’s influence in the UK and the battles over the so-called culture wars.

He says he wants to “do battle” on two “very big” issues: “One is the extent to which the Chinese Communist Party is taking over our lives and certainly has undue influence in our country. And the other thing [is] the ‘woke agenda’ - literally the indoctrination of our children from primary school all the way through university with now a completely different interpretation of history.

Farage, of course, has form for resigning and returning, and a lot of people in possession of a memory will greet his retirement news with some cynicism.  After all, it’s only five minutes since he relaunched The Brexit Party as Reform UK, supposedly focussing on lockdown and Covid strategy.  Now he’s thrown that over completely, invented an anti-Chinese cause to talk up, and returned to flirting with the culture war agenda currently in the hands of Laurence Fox and his Reclaim Party (who announced today that he will stand in the London mayoral election, which sounds like a bad idea to me).  Farage the great communicator was, it seems, a terrible political manager to the last.

One should, of course, give him his due for his role in freeing this country (excluding Northern Ireland, obviously) from the EU project.  That achievement alone secures his place in British history.  The patriotic right will be poorer for his absence from party politics.  Nationalism, however, may gain substantially from it.

A trade deal has finally been agreed between the UK government and EU leaders. The treaty will come into force from 1st January 2021, ending the transition period and replacing the existing arrangements.

The DT reports that

The European Court of Justice will have no role in the trade agreement or direct impact on British courts.

Future British governments will be free to diverge from EU standards, provided they accept that the EU can take remedial measures, such as tariffs, to preserve the level playing field of fair competition.

The UK has taken back control of access to its waters, at the cost of agreeing a transition period of five and a half years for EU fishermen to adapt. After that, its goal of annual negotiations of fishing opportunities in its seas will be achieved. Arguments will rage long and hard over the amount of quota guaranteed to EU fishermen, but it is undeniable that the British fishing industry will be given a shot in the arm.

Britain will, as promised, leave the Single Market and Customs Union, which means it can strike its own trade deals and end free movement.

... Sacrifices were made. Britain would have preferred better access to criminal databases, the continued recognition of UK labs as hubs for testing for EU standards and rules that would have allowed products assembled with imported products to be counted as British.

Nigel Farage appears to be content, and it is true that all but the most ideological leavers would have settled for this deal at any time during the last four and a half years.  Now is the moment to look ahead and, for nationalists, to use what opportunities may arise with the rediscovery of national identity.

INTERVIEW

Ruuben Kaalep: “The Intermarium has to be a voluntary alliance, not like the EU”

Visigrad Post, NOVEMBER 16, 2020

Reading Time: 11 minutes

Interview with Ruuben Kaalep, member of the Estonian Parliament and member of EKRE, the Conservative People’s Party of Estonia: “We need to be able to play on the global stage, and for that we need to put our forces together and support each other. But the Intermarium has to be a voluntary alliance, not like the EU.”

At the end of summer, Ruuben Kaalep came to Hungary at the invitation of the Hungarian nationalist party Mi Hazánk (Our Homeland). Ruuben Kaalep is one of the main advocates for the Intermarium project, a political and geostrategic plan aiming to regroup the Baltic countries, the Visegrád 4, Ukraine, Croatia, Slovenia, Belarus, Moldova, and Romania, forming a kind of a triangle between the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, and the Adriatic Sea.

Although this list changes from time to time, sometimes including other Balkan countries, the Scandinavian countries, or even Austria, the Intermarium’s aim stays the same: to coordinate cooperation among the countries of Central and Eastern Europe — with the notable exception of Russia — in order to protect the interests of the region.

For its supporters, the project is the best way to preserve the way of life, security, and independence of the CEE countries, by “freeing them from Western domination and protecting them from Russian imperialism.”

The Intermarium project is not a new idea, although its revival gained visibility after the Maïdan revolution and the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which the advocates of the Intermarium perceived as new Russian aggression necessitating regional cooperation to avoid such a thing in the future.

One hundred years ago, the post-WW1 reborn Polish state was dreaming of rebuilding the great Polish empire connecting the Baltic and the Black Seas, known as the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, able to contain Russia. This Międzymorze — “between-seas” — project of the Polish elites also included countries such as Hungary, Yugoslavia, Finland, Czechoslovakia, and Romania, making it the first modern project to bring together the CEE countries. Placed between Russia and the West, cutting off the Balkans from the rest of Europe, this geopolitical project always had many critics in both Russia and the West. Nowadays, if the Intermarium is mostly a little-known, pan-nationalist project, advocated mainly by Ukrainian, Balt, Croatian, and Polish political groups, the Three Seas Initiative can be seen as an implementation of Intermarium’s basic idea.

Intermarium has bigger ambitions than the announced goals of the Three Seas Initiative (gathering Baltic countries, the V4, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, and Bulgaria) which is built on an energy and transportation cooperation scheme aiming to guarantee energy independence of the CEE countries from Russia while being financed by the USA. For the advocates of the Intermarium project, the future of the region should lie on the rejection of three main enemies: Russia, NATO, and communism.

Ferenc Almássy met with Ruuben Kaalep while he was in Hungary in order to discuss his advocacy of the Intermarium project.

In red, a version of the Intermarium, gathering Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belorussia, Ukraine, Moldova, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia and Slovenia.

Ferenc Almássy: You are member of the Estonian Parliament, but you are, can we say, a nationalist? Can you accept this epithet?

Ruuben Kaalep: Absolutely. A nationalist is what I am. It’s the main thing for me.

Ferenc Almássy: So how is it possible that in Estonia, nationalists are part of a governmental coalition?

European Outlook # 64 October 2020, by Bill Baillie

Degrees of Nationalism

Many English people can’t understand why some Scots support the Scottish National Party and the EU at the same time. The fact is that nationalism comes in degrees from tribalism to imperialism. British nationalists embrace England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales but they reject European federalism.

John Tyndall refused to accept that the old dominions were entitled to their own nationalism; he thought they should embrace British nationalism. I have never been to Canada but I have lived and worked in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, and I can say with certainty that they each have their own identities and aspirations. JT imagined that the Afrikaners are British but they would not agree with him, like the Irish, they fought long and hard for their independence from the British Empire.

British imperialists believed in our divine right to rule over lesser races. This idea lasted until February 1942 when General Percival surrendered the British garrison at Singapore to General Yamashita. But attitudes often lag behind history and the British, myself included, were still celebrating imperialism long after the Union Jack had been lowered on yet another black dictatorship.

When Britain ruled half the world only the Irish fought for independence within the British Isles but now that the Empire has gone we are witnessing an upsurge of Scottish and Welsh nationalism. But it’s not at all clear what ‘independence’ means in a global economy.

Nationality is a state of mind. British passports can be bought in the street markets of Karachi, but the possession of such a document does not make one British. Europe is another state of mind, it’s not just the landmass between the Atlantic and the Urals, it’s the great civilisation that we are part of. Patriotism is all very well on the sports field, but petty nationalism always results in hostility.

The idea of Europe united as a collection of nation states is gaining popularity but without a unifying philosophy such a union is unlikely to succeed. The Kingdom of Yugoslavia was formed from the Slav nations of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but the new kingdom hardly got going when it was devastated by the Second World War. The invading Axis forces dismembered Yugoslavia before they were driven out by the Partisans under Marshal Tito. He died in 1980 and within a decade Yugoslavia had disintegrated. Tito was a Croat who lived in Serbia, and he was a communist who defied the Soviet Union. His authoritarian regime united the country but when he died ancient resentments emerged and the Balkans took a giant step backwards.

Archeofuturism

Our friend Piers Mellor has alerted us to the website of the Archeofuturist Front. http://www.archeofuturist.org

This movement was inspired by Guillaume Faye (pictured) the so-called “Mad Bastard” of the French New Right who died last year. He attempted to combine the virtues of the old and the new. Archeofuturism has been described as “the organic principle that heralds the marriage of antiquity with postmodernism.” Guillaume Faye predicted “a convergence of catastrophes.” His philosophy respected tradition whilst welcoming modernity. According to Faye, the inherent genius of the white race is not dead but merely dormant. He predicted that the 21st century will see a revival of European solidarity and a great reawakening of the European spirit. Let’s hope that he is right.

This website will be of no interest to insular nationalists but those of us who can see beyond the White Cliffs of Dover will welcome the Archeofuturist assurance that the future belongs to us. The Coronavirus pandemic will challenge liberal capitalism as nations try to keep millions of unemployed workers on the dole. Existing problems will get worse and underlying tensions will emerge. A complete revolution of the spirit could be just what we need.

The Lamp Posts of Baghdad

According to the Home Office, crime in the UK fell in 2006, but few people trust figures from a government that was involved in the Lord Levy ‘cash for peerages’ scandal and the Tessa Jowell affair. The perception is that crime increased under Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Dave Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson. The ‘Metro’ of Fri 1st Feb 2019 reported that the UK has dropped three places to 11th in the latest international league table of corruption. We are currently preoccupied with the Coronavirus pandemic but when we get back to normal corruption will still be with us.

Jared is still Jared - about as good as one kosher friendly can be, including while being friendly to the kosher marketing perspective, its altercast for White identity and controlled discourse parameters thereof*, but at least in these interviews he’s explicitly addressing Jewish hypocrisy some - in terms of their disallowing ethnonationalism for others (viz., Zionism vs European ethnonatioalism). However, like Ganucci, diaspora Jews can (with dubious judgment on his part**) still be considered part of his own national ingroup provided that they toe/advance the marketing line.

* Though he’s begun to use the word “corrective”... and that’s nice.

** Jared considers European Jews to be (Hu)White; i.e., basically belonging in the same genetic category as Europeans and belonging to the European advocacy group provided that they toe the marketing line. This is extremely naïve; and it goes against the biological/genetic distinction between peoples that he is otherwise at pains to emphasize.
