Nationalism’s Militant Tendency

Nationalism’s Militant Tendency

Why Worries Over Rupert Lowe Shouldn’t Stop You Joining Reestore

Nick Griffin

 

I’m thinking seriously of changing the name of this Substack account to “Nick Griffin – I Told You So”. On top of my 22-year head-start on Rupert Lowe’s excellent work on the grooming issue, and my even longer record warning of the coming demographic disaster, predicting the 7/7 attacks, etc, etc, everyone can now see that I was right about Restore as well.

“Nick Griffin – The Most Influential British Political Figure in 30 Years”

"Nick Griffin - The Most Influential British Political Figure in 30 Years"

The Ayaan Institute is a well-regarded Muslim London-based thinktank, frequently quoted by mainstream and Muslim news outlets. In a post on its X page, the organisation just gave this major reassessment of the impact of the BNP on British politics:

I said months ago that Rupert Lowe was a Tory posing as a nationalist. That in any straight contest with Reform where Lowe does not have a real pre-prepared support base, Restore will do little more than save their deposit. And that the team of young, highly educated (ex)Tory system apparatchiks he has running his head office are manipulative fakes who will turn out to be from the same stable as Douglas Murray and all the other neocon Zionists and homosexual intellectuals.

That last point I will prove to you here fairly soon. But, for now, the last few days have confirmed the first two. All the people who screamed about me for criticising the “Rupert Will Save Us” hysteria have gone strangely quiet. What’s up?

We’ve seen the result in Makerfield, where Mr. Lowe said repeatedly he believed Restore was going to win. Well, the 6.84% they took in the end didn’t even match the percentage or raw number secured by the BNP in the general election of 2010 (in which, let me remind folks, the BNP overall beat UKIP nationwide, despite all the BBC’s promotion of Farage).

We achieved that result with a no-frills campaign costing about £1,000 and with our brave little local team having no outside help, because we had none spare to give. Restore, by contrast, threw a big five-figure sum at Makerfield, plus more than 300 canvassers there every weekend, and a big team knocking doors during the weeks as well.

Their result was, in a word, disappointing. If the seat is fought again in a forthcoming general election, it will be even worse, because now everyone knows that the “we’re here to win” boast was a baseless lie. So most of them will vote Reform next time, in the hope that, now the good people of Makerfield have used Burnham to get rid of Starmer, they can go on to get rid of Burnham.

The Restore faithful’s new cope is that “we beat the Tories, the Lib Dems and the Greens, that’s a huge step forward for a new party”. Sorry, but it isn’t. It’s a sign of the readiness of many electors to vote tactically. LibDems and Greens voted Labour in Makerfield to stop Reform, just as Labour and LibDem voters in Gorton & Denton voted Green to keep out Reform. And Green and Labour voters all over southern England will vote LibDem to keep out Reform at the next general election.

The Tories were obliterated not by Lowe, but by all save their most braindead supporters voting Reform in the hope of beating Burnham. The fact that the Tories took more than half of all the votes cast in Aberdeen South on the same day showed that the Conservative party, while desperately unpopular in most places, is by no means dead yet.

A Labour victory in a snap general election (both entirely possible) would, sadly, put a future Tory revival on the cards. Reform and Restore are both one-man bands and hence inherently unstable and potentially short-lived. The Conservative party, by contrast, is an institution which has dodged and shape-shifted and kept itself alive for hundreds of years; the vile blue creature will not be buried for good for a long time to come.

The only good thing for Restore in Makerfield was that they managed to save their £500 deposit, but anti-immigration nationalists have been saving our deposits in by elections for more than fifty years. In Uxbridge (a West London constituency close to the Indian immigration ground zero of Southall) a by-election back in 1972, saw the then young National Front, fighting under the slogan “Keep Uxbridge White”, win 8.2% of the vote.

This thrashed the Mosleyite Union Movement, which only scraped 1.1%. The UM candidate, by the way, was ‘Big Dan’ Harmston, well-known as the fiery leader of the Smithfield meat porters who marched for Enoch Powell in 1968 after he was sacked by the Tories for his ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech.

More than fifty years – during which time immigration has gone from a local problem affecting a handful of constituencies, which Powell himself described in that speech as a “cloud no bigger than a man’s hand”, to an existential threat set to plunge us into minority status just 30 years from now.

More than fifty years of ceaseless anti-indigenous discrimination, gang rape, anti-white racist murders and repression. And still there are fools who claim that saving a deposit shows that they are on their way to saving the country at the next general election. I really do hate these bastards, and so should you, because their lies are giving good but naïve people false hope and so wasting their time, energy and money.

But for ethnonationalists holding Mr. Lowe out as their Great White Hope, things got even worse 24-hours later, when Rupert gave an interview to American commentator Brett Weinstein last weekend. Keen to display the ‘respectable’ credentials whose absence costs votes, Mr. Lowe told Mr. Weinstein that “I detest far-right ethno-nationalism and neo-Naziism.”

Cue anguished squeals and hysteria in the social media bubble of far-right Restore supporters!

Now, I too have a problem with neo-Nazism. Most of the actual neo-Nazi groups are controlled and funded by the Southern Poverty Law Center, Hope Not Hate and the security services. We see it most plainly in Ukraine, but it is clear that the CIA has spent a great deal of time and money shaping and weaponizing Satanic-influenced neo-Nazism everywhere else too.

Their Azovification trick is out of the same Deep State/neo-con playbook as the weaponisation of Wahhabism. Al Qaeda and ISIS are their controlled and useful idiot Islamists; Azov left-hand path Nazis in Ukraine and online are their controlled and useful idiot white nationalists.

Lowe’s conflation between these bought-and-paid-for neo-Nazi fakes and genuine ethnonationalism may have been an off-the-cuff remark, but the tactic is direct from the liberal/Zionist/Marxist/System playbook. It was first articulated by the British intelligence guru, General Sir Frank Kitson”, whose doctrine for Low Intensity Operations against troublesome nationalist opponents of the British state included the need to “pollute the water in which the fish swim.”

Nor was this the first time that Mr. Lowe’s personal opinions and actions had sent shivers down the spines of the ‘far-right’ commentators who a few months were so angry when I pointed out some of Restore’s most obvious weaknesses and the fact that Rupert may not be the best thing since sliced bread.

In an interview with The Spectator back in May, for example, he bemoaned the fact that “There was this spate of accusations of ethnonationalism and all this sort of rubbish.”

“You know I can’t and won’t audit who supports us,” he continued, “but I can assure you the actual structure of the party has none of that in it.”

Indeed it doesn’t, for the party machine is run by a group of young (ex) Tories with a neocon thinktank background which is fully in favour of mass immigration, just so long as the immigrants provide cheap labour, ‘integrate’, and aren’t mean to gays.

Lowe went on to make it clear that he does not believe in the deportation of “whole communities of British passport holders”. He concluded by telling the Spectator that Restore could win in Makerfield. That didn’t age well, did it?

Many more were angered by the temporary exclusion of the pretty influencer Saskia from Restore’s youth wing launch after she used the forbidden word, W**t* on X.

Then there was the little matter of his son’s wedding, his enthusiasm for his Libyan-heritage daughter-in-law and the halal food served at the reception. Great is the wailing and gnashing of teeth. At least, among those of them who actually have teeth.

To sum up where we are: There is a strong possibility that Any Burnham will call a snap election, in which the Restore vote will be squeezed by even ‘far-right’ voters holding their noses and voting Reform in a desperate attempt to prevent the unmitigated disaster of a far-left Labour-led regime in power until at least 2031, and then introducing a PR system in order to keep the left in control until at least 2036.

Whenever the election is, the nearer it gets the more the left and the MSM will ‘expose’ various ‘far-right’ figures in Restore. Rupert Lowe will respond to this either by expelling the most controversial, or by making statements against the deportation of ‘legal immigrants who pay their way’, and in favour of Israel, in the well-founded hope that many of the reputationally most challenging individuals will resign and save him the trouble of kicking them out.

Griffin’s Militant Tendency

So now I’m going to surprise a lot of people: All ethno-nationalists should join Restore. Those already in the party should not resign, while those who past statements make them potential targets for expulsion should make excuses, take their ‘hardline’ badges off their sleeves and do whatever is necessary to remain inside the tent. … Continues…

    No mention of possible election rigging.

    Also, 40% of Makersfield voters did not bother to vote. If they had voted, and if their votes were counted, they would have won.

    How can we encourage the non-voters to vote?

      Burnham has support from less than 25,000 misguided voters,
      He needs to take his new “policy” to the 46 million voters in the UK ASAP.

    Usual problems: leader vanity, sectarian purity, media hostility, enemy infiltration, problematic funding.
    The CPUSA, KKK & Militia memberships said to be largely FBI.
    Makerfield was atypical – people wanted a PM replacement more than a local nonentity, but Restore’s vote share exceeded that of the Conservatives, Greens and LibDems together, despite policy match with Reform, a significant fact.
    No party has enough competent candidates, but we need a General Election asap.
    Burnham has no acceptable policy for national debt, defence or demographics.

      A trivial point perhaps but Farage should not wear socks based on the national flag. The saloon bar golf club pose with a fag and a beer is also wearisome to watch on TV. Do the British buy it?

    According to the DAILY MAIL (June 25) Burnam’s close adviser and top supporter is Miatta Fahnbulleh, daughter of a foreign minister to the murderous Liberian tyrant Samuel Doe, who came here to stay in 1985 and got an expensive education, married a financier, became a permanent close associate of Neto Zero maniac Red Ed Miliband, and is an enthusiast for mass-immigration from Africa, Asia and the Caribbean “shifting our culture”.

    Makerfield – “making a difference” WE DON’T WANT.
