Nation Revisited
# 94, August 2012.
Every
Cloud Has a Silver Lining
George Osborne has reversed his policy on fuel prices.
This follows his climb-down on takeaway food, mobile homes and charity
donations. In fact there’s nothing much left of his budget. The government’s
attempt to reduce public spending is on hold and our borrowing is up on last
year. We are in the same position as Greece except that we can’t ask the European
Financial Stability Facility for a bailout. The ratings agencies have been too
busy screwing the eurozone to notice us conjuring another £50 bn of
“quantitative easing” but if they take away our triple-A rating the cost of
borrowing will rise and things will get even worse.
We desperately need to stop wasting money but our borders
are still wide open. If newcomers have got their elderly parents with them we
will provide them with a pension. If they’ve got three, four, five or more kids
we will find them school places and family allowances. If they are sick or
unable to work we will look after them and if they suffer the slightest insult
or inconvenience we will compensate them. Dave Cameron has promised to stop
Greeks from coming to Britain to escape their economic problems but Third World
immigrants are welcome. He can say what he likes about Greeks because they are
Europeans but if he pledged to keep out blacks or Asians he could be arrested
under the infamous Race Relations Act.
If our economy continues to stagnate and our deficit
continues to grow we will be forced to stop taking in people from all over the
world. Successive governments imported cheap labour to undercut our wages. They
never worried about the views of the British people or the disastrous effects
that mass immigration had on our cities. But they will be forced to stop the
influx when we run out of credit and have to go cap in hand to the IMF.
The governments of several European countries are being
forced to limit immigration by the rise of populist parties; but we Brits are
unlikely to go down that road. Our salvation will come through our impending
bankruptcy. It may cost us our standard of living and destroy the welfare state
but every cloud has a silver lining.
Many law-abiding immigrants have settled here
successfully and made a contribution but others have send money home or put it
overseas bank accounts ready for their departure. In the age of cheap travel
and instant communications people are used to flying around the world and
keeping in touch with friends and family. We would not have to use force to get
rid of them; if we stopped their benefits there would be a mad rush to get out
of the country.
No doubt Hilary Clinton will lecture us on human rights
but our static economy simply cannot sustain this level of Third World
immigration. The UK population now stands at a record 63.1 million. If we need
extra labour there is plenty available near at hand without importing people
from all over the world.
Foreign Policy
I was recently
accused, by a regular reader, of supporting Saudi Arabia. Nothing could be
further from the truth. I believe in freedom of religion and I deplore attempts
by Nick Griffin and the English Defence League to demonise Muslims. But that
does not mean that I support the reactionary and oppressive regime in Riyadh.
I have always opposed
British involvement in Arab affairs. I was against Tony Blair’s invasion of
Iraq and Dave Cameron’s intervention in Libya. And I warned against being
dragged into war in Syria and Iran. I am opposed to British military forces
being used for foreign adventures and I refute the government’s propaganda for
our presence in Afghanistan. Far from safeguarding British security our occupation
of Helmand province endangers British soldiers in the field and encourages
terrorist attacks at home. As I write we have just lost another three soldiers.
I support the United
Nations Organization because it does valuable work in the fields of medicine
and education. We need an international forum to discuss border disputes before
they become wars. And it’s important that the world agrees on basic standards
of civilization. We were right to support UN Resolution 242 calling for Israel
to withdraw to her internationally recognized borders and that should be the
basis of our Middle East policy.
Britain is an arms
producing nation and our defence industry is a massive employer of labour and a
major taxpayer. In May of this year (2012) BAE signed a £1.9 bn deal with the
Saudis for the sale of Hawk jet trainers. There is no shortage of such
aircraft. The Saudis could have gone to the US, Russia, China or France but
they chose to buy British. I support this deal because I want British plane
makers to be employed; not because I like Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz or his
medieval regime.
If Britain gave a
positive lead in foreign policy our fellow Europeans might follow. But we cling
to the Atlantic Alliance and France and Germany follow suit. The upheaval in
the Arab world has ousted regimes that relied on American bribery. This must
worry Israel. They knew where they were with the old dictators but they are not
so sure about the Muslim Brotherhood. But whatever happens we should stick to
diplomacy and not get involved in trade boycotts or military expeditions. The
Americans appointed themselves policeman to the world; we should let them get
on with it.
Public
Opinion
The voice of the people is supposed to be the voice of
God but it’s more likely to be the voice of big business speaking through the
media of press and broadcasting. Public opinion is not a spontaneous thing it
is the result of editorial direction by the bosses of newspapers and television
stations. As I write Syria is in the news and most people would say that the
civil war raging in that country is an attempt by the oppressed people to throw
off a mad dictator.
Many of the people holding this opinion know nothing about
Syria. They could not tell you where it is situated, or what the population is,
or anything about its history and culture. But they are perfectly sure that the
rebels are right because they are supported by the West and that Bashir
al-Assad is wrong because he is supported by Russia. This is not the result of
any process of reasoning but simply because Rupert Murdoch says so.
Britain’s enemies are frequently mad. Napoleon was mad
and so were Kaiser Bill and Adolf Hitler. They all went in for carpet-chewing
and foaming at the mouth. And they were all driven by world domination and
unmentionable sexual appetites. Fortunately we had sane, rational and happily
married leaders like the Duke of Wellington, Lloyd George and Winston
Churchill. All of them pinnacles of Christian charity and humility. And now that
we are threatened by the mad and evil Bashir al-Assad we have the heroic figure
of William Hague to protect us. Proof, if any were needed, that God is indeed
an Englishman.
But Syria is not the only mystery to the great British
public. Economics has got them completely flummoxed. They think that the
subprime mortgage crisis and the collapse of Lehman Brothers were all down to
the euro. And most of the misinformed readers of the popular press have
absolutely no idea that the USA, Japan and the UK are as broke as Greece. When
Dave Cameron makes his vainglorious pronouncements at European conferences the
rest of the delegates fall about laughing; it’s only our newspapers that take
him seriously. A prime minister who presides over a national debt of £1.2 trillion
and the creation of £375 bn in “funny money” is hailed as another Francis Drake
who will save us from the EU Armada.
The government is influenced by the media and their
policies are decided in the boardrooms of international corporations. The
popular press baffle their simple-minded readers with faux-patriotism. They support
the Atlantic Alliance but never miss an opportunity to knock the EU. They blame
it for immigration but we had millions of Third World immigrants long before we
joined the Common Market in 1973. Enoch Powell made his “Rivers of Blood”
speech way back in 1967. We have taken in an estimated million Poles since 2004
but they are industrious Europeans who are easily assimilated. The real and
present danger is the continued influx of Afro-Asians who do not come from
Europe but from the Commonwealth.
The Flame That Never Dies
Ideas, like matter,
cannot be destroyed. For almost a century patriotic Britons have been fighting
to build a political system based on social justice and opposed to atheistic
communism. Mosley and the BUF made an impact in the 1930s but the most
destructive war in human history put paid to their efforts. Mosley tried again
after the war with Union Movement but people were enjoying the post-war boom
and didn’t want to hear that we were about to go bust. Union Movement was wound
up following the death of Oswald Mosley and his principle officers but it had
already achieved its main objective when the UK joined the Common Market in
1973.
The fight against
usury and Third World immigration was taken up by the National Front but they
were against the Common Market and proposed a union of Britain with the White
Dominions. The NF grew steadily until 1979 when Margaret Thatcher destroyed
them by saying that she understood people’s fears of “being swamped” by
immigration. They regrouped as the British National Party and won council seats
throughout the country, a seat on the Greater London Authority and two seats on
the European Parliament. But thirty years after the collapse of the NF they
repeated the performance. They still have their two seats in Europe but their
chances of retaining them are slim and they have been overtaken by Ukip; an
angry mob of disgruntled Tories stuck in an imperial time warp with no concept
of race or culture beyond the trans-Atlantic use of the English language.
When the Soviet Union
collapsed after 70 years of communist repression the priests of the Russian
Orthodox Church suddenly appeared as if by magic and carried on ministering to
their flock as though nothing had happened. Such is the power of ideas.
Communism couldn’t wipe out the faith of the Russian people and greedy Western
materialism has not extinguished the flame that never dies. We are still here
and our ideas are still relevant.
Parties come and go but the urge to build a
better Britain has never gone away. We are still being swindled by
international finance and governed by corrupt politicians just as we were before the war when the blackshirts mobilized. Their flags and banners belong
to the 20th century but their defiant spirit lives and will never
die.
From
Nation # 5 April 1974
(In 1974
the world was reeling from a fourfold increase in the price of oil resulting
from the Yom Kippur War of 1973. Today we are still suffering from the
Financial Crisis of 2008. Europe, America and Japan are deeply in debt but the
proposed EU fiscal union is a step in the right direction. Self-sufficient
blocs such as Europe, the Russian Federation and the North American Free Trade Agreement
will not be at the mercy of the rate-fixers.)
Britain now has a minority government; the Tories
collected the most votes but Labour captured more seats and the Liberals run
their usual third. Our economic crisis continues under the new administration.
Like Ted Heath before him Harold Wilson knows only one way to deal with our
crushing burden of debt; to run to the international pawnbrokers for a billion
dollar loan. They still haven’t learned that it’s impossible to borrow your way
out of debt. As soon as one loan is repaid another must be opened. We are
working flat out but all of our money is going to the banks.
As
the debt spiral brought down the government at home it also toppled that of
France, but with a wave of the presidential hand Pompidou reinstated it.
In
Italy the 36th government since the murder of Mussolini collapsed due to the
same problem of debt. The Italians have tried almost every parliamentary
permutation without success; their problems cannot be solved by shuffling parties.
Belgium
has just put together another patchwork coalition and has to insist on
compulsory voting to get her electors to bother.
In
Canada their minority government has barely survived a vote of no confidence.
The
United States prepares to impeach her president who seems to have had his
finger in every pie.
Japan
faces a general strike and possible civil-war as her much-lauded economy breaks
up.
In
India the police are forced to fire on the desperate victims of food
racketeering as Mrs Gandhi takes Tiffin with the Maharaja of Notsobad.
Granny
Golda Meir hangs on in Israel against the criminal lunatics of Likud and with a
population disenchanted with military adventure.
The Irish government finds itself powerless to deal with
a terrorist army that threatens both Dublin and Belfast.
Debt, inflation, chaos, murder, anarchy – this is the
record of elective democracy in Britain and throughout the world. Democracy is
supposed to be government of the people, for the people and by the people. It
is in fact dictatorship of the people, for the bankers, by crooks, liars, fools
and failures.
What’s left to negotiate?
Dave Cameron says
that he wants to renegotiate Britain’s membership of the EU. But what’s left to
negotiate? We have opted out of the euro
and the Schengen border agreement. We are only nominally in the EU and it’s
difficult to see how we could loosen our terms of membership without leaving
altogether. Of course that is exactly what the rightwing of the Tory Party
want. They want us to negotiate the same deal as Norway, Iceland and
Switzerland.
But even if we did we
would still have to conform to international specifications that are based on
the EU. We could not export anything in non-metric sizes so the idea of
returning to the old weights and measures is a non-starter.
The other factor is
that many American and Japanese companies are based in the UK in order to gain
access to the EU. If we quit the EU a lot of them would relocate to take
advantage of the world’s biggest market.
We would not have to pay
our dues to the EU but we would spend whatever we saved on new legislation.
Thousands of specialized lawyers would be required to draft new regulations and
the resultant confusion would clog up the courts for years.
There is already
confusion about the various pan-European agreements that we are party to. The
European Court of Human Rights was a post-war British initiative that is not
part of the EU. And our military ties to NATO are endorsed by the Lisbon Treaty
but are not governed by it. If Dave Cameron is serious about “repatriating powers
to Westminster” he must quit NATO and tear up the Anglo-French Defence
Agreement of 2010; this is the basis of our defence strategy.
All of this can be
done, at a price, but few of those who scream for independence have thought it
through. Existing agreements allow us to import gas through the network of
pipelines linking us to the mainland; electricity from the French national grid
and freight via the channel tunnel. All of these contracts would have to be
renegotiated if we quit the EU. We shouldn’t expect any improvement in jobs if
the rightwing Tories get their way but there will be plenty of work for
lawyers.
The North-South Divide
The UK press has
resorted to the Herrenvolk theory to explain the European debt crisis. They
point to the fact that Greece, Italy and Spain are in the south but they forget
that many of the northern states have been in the same position.
The UK was rescued by
the IMF in 1976 when Harold Wilson was handed £2.3 bn just in time to stop the
Natwest Bank (RBS) from collapsing. That would be worth about £23 bn in today’s
money. Gordon Brown sold half of Britain’s gold reserves in 1999 for the
knockdown price of £3.5 bn and Dave Cameron has just issued another £50 bn in
QE. Iceland was given $4.6 bn by the IMF in 2008. Latvia received 7.5 bn euros
in 2008 and Ireland got 85 bn euros in 2010. There have also been massive
internal bailouts by Sweden, Finland and Germany.
The financial crisis
in Europe is governed by the trade index not the cephalic index. And when
Standard & Poor’s assess the wealth of nations they use calculators rather
than cranial calipers. Every state in Europe has enjoyed good times and bad and
every one of them have contributed to the sum total of European achievement. We
will reform the economic system by adopting the ideas of John Maynard Keynes
and Oswald Mosley; not those of Houston Stewart Chamberlain.
The USA, Japan, the
UK and Europe all have massive national debts, but China, Switzerland and the
Gulf States have got so much money they don’t know what to do with it. Eventually
there will have to be worldwide redistribution of capital, whether the international
banks like it or not.
Who Runs the World?
Bob Diamond the
disgraced former chief executive of Barclays is a Boston boy whose family name
was originally O’Daimain. He has no Jewish connections but Marcus Agius the
former chairman of Barclays is married to Katherine de Rothschild of the famous
banking family. The Rothschilds have controlled Britain ever since Prime
Minister Benjamin Disraeli borrowed £4 million from them in 1876 to buy a
majority interest in the Suez Canal. A policeman earned £4 per month in 1876.
In 1938 Captain Maule
Ramsay MP exchanged angry correspondence with the Chief Rabbi of Scotland Dr
Salis Daiches. Ismay Ramsay had made a speech to the Arbroath Business Club in
which she accused the Jews of leading a communist plot to take over the world.
Dr Daiches demanded that she name those Jews involved or withdraw the
accusation. Captain Ramsey replied on his wife’s behalf:
The Jewish group concerning which the reference that
Dr Daiches dislikes was made is, of course, the Third Communist International.
Does Dr Daiches deny that that body works for world revolution? The Jewish
complexion of that body is clearly set out in a booklet published on March 26,
1938, entitled ‘The Rulers of Russia’. It is written by the Rev Denis Fahey
CSSP, and bears the imprimatur of the Archbishop of Dublin. It states that, of
the 59 members of the Central Committee of the Communist Party in 1935, 56 were
Jews (giving the names) and the remaining three, namely Stalin, Lobow and
Ossinsky, were married to Jewesses. If that does not constitute, in Dr Daiches
opinion, ‘a group of Jews working for world domination’, perhaps he will
indicate what clearer definition he would suggest.
Captain Maule Ramsay
trusted Denis Fahey’s information but senior members of the Catholic Church
were not so sure. Archbishop John McQuaid wrote:
Dr Fahey will certainly not err in doctrine, but he is
capable of making statements and suggestions that are not capable of proof by
any evidence available to the censors. I have been obliged to watch carefully
his remarks upon the Jews. He will frequently err in good judgment, and this
error will take the shape of excerpts from newspapers as proof of serious
statements, unwise generalizations and, where Jews are concerned, remarks
capable of rousing the ignorant or malevolent. In his own congregation, Fr
Fahey is not regarded as a man of balanced judgment. He is a wretched
Professor, obscure and laborious.
Captain Maule Ramsay
MP was imprisoned without charge in 1940 under Defence Regulation 18B together
with Oswald Mosley and 1500 other peace campaigners. He wrote the following
sacastic poem on House of Commons notepaper on 4th September 1939 – the day
after war broke out.
Land of dope and Jewry
Land that once was free
All the Jew boys praise thee
Whilst they plunder thee
Poorer still and poorer
Grow thy true-born sons
Faster still and faster
They’re sent to feed the guns
Land of Jewish finance
Fooled by Jewish lies
In press and books and movies
While our birthright dies
Longer still and longer
Is the rope they get
But – by the God of battles
‘Twill serve to hang them yet
Modern critics of the money power should remember that
capitalists come in all shapes and sizes. The top ten richest people in the
world according to Forbes magazine are:
Carlos Slim, Mexico, Telecoms, $73.5 bn
Bill Gates, USA, Microsoft, $53bn.
Warren Buffet, USA, Berkshire Hathaway, $47 bn.
Mukesh Ambani, India, Reliance Industries, $29 bn.
Lakshmi Mittal, India, Steel, $28.7 bn.
Lawrence Ellison, USA, Oracle Data, $28 bn.
Bernard Arnault, France, Fashion, $27.5 bn.
Elke Batista, Brazil, Oil & Gas, $27 bn.
Amancio Ortela, Spain, Retail, $25 bn.
Karl Albrecht, Germany, Aldi Supermarkets, $23 bn.
The only one with a Jewish connection is Lawrence
Ellison. His biological mother was Jewish but he was brought up by Christians
and does not practice the Jewish religion. And none of them are bankers. Warren
Buffet sells financial advice but he only tips established companies and never
speculates. Jews are undoubtedly influential in the media, show business and
politics but they do not run the world.
Crime and Punishment
Following allegations
of false accounting, money laundering and rate fixing at Barclays the public
might have expected prosecutions. None has been forthcoming but the full weight
of the law has been brought to bear on former England captain John Terry who
was accused of racially abusing fellow footballer Anton Ferdinand. Despite
appearing to mouth racist obscenities John Terry who denied the charges was
found not guilty after a five day trial at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
We seem to have got
our priorities mixed-up. The Borders Agency has lost control of immigration and
doesn’t know how many illegal aliens have slipped through the net. The FSA has
clearly failed to regulate the banks. And a government committed to reducing
the national deficit is actually spending more money. We can’t control our
borders, our banks or our bureaucrats but we’ve got racial abuse under control.
We are reducing
police manpower to save money but we are paying 775 members of the House of
Lords £300 per day just for turning up. Lords are either appointed by the
government for alleged services to the country or they are Bishops of the
Church of England or descended from the Norman conquerors that ravaged Britain
almost a thousand years ago. They have no real power but they can delay
decisions made in the House of Commons.
Attempts to reform the upper house have
been blocked by the same irresponsible Tory rebels that are demanding our exit
from Europe. If Dave Cameron doesn’t stand up to them they will bring down the
coalition and return us to a lunatic Labour government.
