Get Your Priorities Straight. Muslim Immigration Is a Trivial Issue.

This article also appears at the website of the Council of European Canadians.

Green oracle George Monbiot, rock star columnist for the Guardian,  wrote some months ago that Islamic terrorism was no big deal. In fact, in the UK, he wrote, it is less dangerous than wearing the wrong pair of slippers. Unlike climate change, he asserted, the growing strength of Islam is not “an existential threat.” In other words, don’t sweat the small stuff.

So if you are caught defenceless in a restaurant or classroom or movie theatre by a violent jihadist with an automatic weapon, just remember, climate change is an existential threat. I mean, for God’s sake, put things into perspective will you?

While the science on climate change is “settled,” climate models are impeccably reliable, and predictions about sea level rises and temperature increases are incontrovertible, that gunman you see before you shouting “Allah Akbar!” could simply be a figment of your imagination. An illusion. A projection of your Islamophobic fears. Best to organize your life around things that you know to be true. Read more

Southern Civilization: Review of Michael O. Cushman’s “Our Southern Nation: Its Origin and Future”

Our Southern Nation: Its Origin and Future

CushmanMany intellectual and political promoters of nation-state building end up on the “wrong side of history.” In fact, these are the code words used by mainstream historians when depicting those who failed in their political endeavors, lost the intellectual or political war, and earned themselves historical oblivion.

This is the main message resurfacing on the first page of Michael Cushman’s book. Being henceforth pushed into the realm of modern demonology, those on the “wrong side of history” and their hapless descendants are stripped of an objective historiographic narrative. Instead, they are forced to learn the language of the victor’s doubletalk: “reconstruction” or “reeducation.” Although Cushman does not venture into historical parallels with other European societies, one can draw a parallel between the post-Civil War South and post-World War II Europe. In his little book Sparte et les Sudistes (Sparta and the Southerners) (1969), French scholar Maurice Bardèche, himself a victim of the judicial “re-educational” process in the aftermath of World War II in France, traces the beginning of the end of Western civilization with the defeat of the South in 1865, which presaged the latter-day apocalyptic fallout in post-1945 Europe.

Cushman is clearly a serious scholar, as evidenced by the large number of footnotes and the impressive across-the-board bibliography containing citations of what are commonly described as “leftist” and “rightist” authors. Nowhere in his text are to be spotted grandstanding epithets on behalf of the Confederate Southerners or disparaging words against the Yankee Northerners. Mr. Cushman’s sober, erudite style will hopefully gain him an enthusiastic readership. Read more

Let Them Eat Cake: The Army of Fanatics at the Heart of Europe

/26 Comments/in /by

It’s what you call an ironic juxtaposition. On Saturday 14th November 2015, the front page of the London Times had both good and bad news for its readers. The good news was that a saintly Muslim woman in a hijab had written some cake-recipes. The bad news was that other Muslims in Paris had murdered “dozens of people” in coordinated terror attacks the day before.

Saint and Sinners: Nadiya Hussein and Islamic State

Saint and Sinners: Nadiya Hussein and Islamic State

When the charming Nadiya Hussein won the Great British Bake Off in September this year, Britain’s liberals were beside themselves with joy. Okay, Muslim rape-gangs are operating throughout the country, the security services are constantly battling Muslim terror-plots and corruption flourishes in every Muslim “community” — but look, a Muslim has won a baking competition. Take that, you haters, racists and xenophobes! Read more

The Jewish “Schindlers”

/24 Comments/in /by

With the season of good will around the corner, now is time when many people’s thoughts turn to helping others — and some shrewd operators have not been slow to realise that in the chaos of the forced “Syrian refugee” migration into the west, there are huge amounts of money to be made.

The crisis presents an almost irresistible combination of exploitable elements — pictures of suffering children,  government and law enforcement chaos and a gullible public who seem willing to believe anything.

But what is different is the appearance of a new breed of online Jewish entrepreneurs — the Jewish “Schindlers” who style themselves as selfless saviours of non-Jewish refugees, much as the original Oskar Schindler was said to have saved Jews.

One of the most colourful is a Florida-based philanthropist and ex-con called Yank Barry who has made his millions from manufacturing soya “meat substitute” and supplying the non-discerning diners in hospitals, care homes for the elderly, correctional facilities and the like.  (Barry’s birth name is Gerald Falovitch. Yank is short for Yankel, his Yiddish name.) Read more

“A Europe of Nations”: Marine Le Pen’s Plan for the Old Continent

Marine Le Pen addresses FN rally, May, 2014 | AFP

Like the mass-rape gangs of Rotherham, the recent slaughter of 130 people by Muslim terrorists in the streets of Paris has again given us a quick glimpse, the briefest foretaste, of our coming multicultural future as indigenous Europeans are reduced to a minority. Europe once birthed the most dynamic and luminous of all human civilizations. But as her demographics progressively come to resemble those of the Levant and the Congo, so she will be cursed with the lifestyles and violence characteristic of those regions. No one has a right to be surprised at this development.[1]

We then need more than ever to have concrete and constructive thinking on how to build a new Europe in which our nations will survive and thrive. In this article, I will present Front National leader Marine Le Pen’s European policy: First to abolish the European Union and then to establish new forms of European cooperation to better fight immigration and globalism. I will also critically discuss the issue of “European solidarity” in the framework of the FN’s official civic nationalism which, while robustly opposed to immigration and perhaps necessary electorally, is not unproblematic.

Turkey in for a Stuffing?

/56 Comments/in /by

The recent Turkish action in shooting down a Russian bomber makes sense in terms of Turkey’s strategy in the region. As far as I can tell from news reports it was motivated by feelings of solidarity for the Turkmens, a fellow Turkish ethnicity that has had the misfortune to live on the Syrian side of the border, rather than in Turkey, where they obviously belong. It is noticeable that since  the Russians started to take a more active role in the Syrian conflict, they have mainly been concentrating on the non-ISIS sector, in particular those groups in the West of the country that are directly threatening President Assad’s Alawite homeland. This includes various Sunni groups, including Syria’s Turkmens, one of the few minorities in the country that is inclined to side against Assad.

So, both the fact that Russia has been bombing the Turkmens and the fact that Turkey has retaliated are understandable in their own ways.

The problem, however, is that Turkey can only afford such machismo and reckless swagger because it is playing the game with somebody else’s money. Whatever difficulties they get into at the geopolitical casino table, they fully expect to be bailed out by much bigger players. Read more

Douglas Murray’s Warning to the Jewish Community

/51 Comments/in , /by

Douglas Murray has written a very nice column on the Paris attacks: “Paris attacks: Leaders in two minds while Europe burns.” He points to the “multiculturalism has failed” statements of Angela Merkel and David Cameron—and that, despite no progress on integrating Muslims, Europe is now doubling down on a failed experiment. He points out that even though terrorism is confined to only very few Muslims, it has substantial support in the British Muslim community—at least 27% in a BBC poll, “with another 10 per cent saying they didn’t know whether they were sympathetic to the attackers or refusing to answer the question.” He is very clear that this is a top-down revolution with ever decreasing popular support.

But, then, almost nothing about the grand schemes of Europe’s political elites has made sense for some time. All are good at talking about how they will tackle problems “over there”. Few if any have any idea what to do about our problems “over here”.

He predicts that

the European public will migrate further and further to the political Right. And in reaction to this the European political class will migrate further and further to the Left. You can already see it. In ­Sweden one liberal newspaper editor responded to the latest polling triumphs by the until-recently ­pariah Sweden Democrats party by saying that he would be happy to flood Sweden with Islamic State fighters to punish the Swedish electorate for voting for the Sweden Democrats. That isn’t such an unusual instinct.

Assuming that this editor is an ethnic Swede (although most media in Sweden in Jewish-owned), this proposal is the most extreme version of altruistic punishment against one’s own people that I have ever contemplated. (Altruistic punishment is punishment of violators of a moral norm at cost to oneself; proneness to altruistic punishment to uphold moral norms is a key aspect of Western egalitarian individualism, typified, e.g., by the Puritan moral fervor against slavery that advocated punishing White Southerners on behalf of the freedom of Africans; see here, p. 101ff).

It is the same instinct that made one female refugee aid worker and her colleagues hush up her recent rape at the hands of some recent arrivals. They feared that mentioning the rape might exacerbate anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe. This instinct fears that Europeans are far-right extremists just waiting to break out, and the sad irony that only by treating them in such a way for such a long time could anyone ever make them so.

This of course is the same sentiment that prevented authorities from reporting or prosecuting the industrial-scale rape of girls in Rotherham and elsewhere in the UK. Read more
