Nation Revisited
An
occasional e-mail to friends

43, April 2008
In the March issue of Identity John Bean looked
at National Security. Few would disagree
with his contention that Third World immigration threatens to overwhelm
us. But his claim that there’s a plot to
merge Europe with North Africa and the Middle East supported by “most of the EU
elite,” is hard to believe. France, Germany Austria and the Netherlands have
all blocked Turkey’s application.
This idea originated in Londonistan the 2006
catastrophist epic from the poisoned pen of Melanie Phillips. A Zionist fanatic
who believes that: “the churches in Britain are not only silent about the genocidal
ravings emanating from Iran but are themselves helping pave the way for a
second Holocaust.”
JB states that resisting united Europe has been: “the
single greatest theme in the entire history of British foreign policy, without
which nothing else we have done would have been possible. We repelled efforts
by the dominant (or would be dominant) Continental powers to take over Britain
under Phillip II of Spain, Louis XIV of France, Napoleon, Kaiser Wilhelm, Adolf
Hitler and Joseph Stalin.”
But surely our scientific achievements were imprinted
in the DNA of men such as James Watt, George Stevenson, Richard Arkwright,
Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, John Logie Baird, William Shockley, Alan Turing
and Tim Berners-Lee? Their passports played no part in their genius.
Sir Francis Drake saved us from the Spanish Armada but
the great maritime expansion of Europe was pioneered by the Genoese navigators
Christopher Columbus in the service of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, and
John Cabot in the service of Henry VIII of England. Seamen served the highest
bidder right up to the 19th century. Apart from the English, Irish,
Scots and Welsh, 18 different nationalities were represented on the Victory at
the Battle of Trafalgar.
As for the arts, it’s likely that William Shakespeare
would have been just as productive under Phillip II, JMW Turner would have
painted with the same unique vision under Napoleon Bonaparte and Edward Elgar
might have dedicated his Pomp and Circumstance March to Kaiser Bill.
The great champions of the nation state all
disregarded nationality when it suited them. Napoleon’s Grande Armee included
German, Italian, Croatian, Swiss and Spanish regiments. Hitler’s armies in
Russia were comprised of almost every European nationality, as well as dissident
Armenians, Ukrainians and Russians. And Joseph Stalin had all the states of the
Soviet Union at his disposal.
We can only speculate about what might have been but
we know that we were bankrupt in 1941 and had to borrow money and materiel from
the USA and Canada to survive. Since then we have been a de facto American
colony. Our
Armed forces have been structured to support America
and our foreign policy has been dictated from Washington. And that is precisely
why our servicemen are fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan, despite the
unpopularity of these wars and the massive demonstrations against them.
Anybody who doubts that we are controlled by America
should study the humiliating Suez fiasco of 1956. That was the last time that
we attempted to act as an independent sovereign state. Even though it was in
alliance with France and Israel. The Falklands War does not count because
Margaret Thatcher had already received president Reagan’s consent.
Whilst rejecting the current EU John Bean acknowledges
that: “Full co-operation with fellow European national states, facing common
enemies and common problems (or even a confederation of European states as far
as this writer is concerned), is a different matter.” This is what John Major
might have called “a not insignificant statement’ from the editor of a
Euro-sceptic magazine.
He suggests that we allow the Americans to keep their
military bases in the UK because we would need their permission to launch a
repatriation programme
for Third World immigrants: “Crudely put, if they can’t plausibly convince
American voters we are fascists they can’t attack us.”
If a global redistribution of population is ever made
it will be by United Europe, with Russia and America in full agreement. Within a generation Europe will be the
dominant world power and the USA will be rebuilding its shattered economy after
the disastrous recession of the Bush era.
Far from threatening us the Americans will be seeking
extended credit from the European Bank and negotiating for access to our
markets. When Ariane V blasted into space to deliver the latest section of the
international space station it did more than demonstrate Europe’s awesome
economic power and advanced missile technology. It also reminded the world that
we could retaliate against any attack with pinpoint accuracy.
JB rightly calls for British withdrawal from NATO. But
it’s difficult to see how American forces could remain here if we quit the
Alliance. The dilemma will be resolved by the current economic crisis. America
can no longer afford to keep military bases all over the world. They have subsidised defence
spending by selling US Treasury Bonds but that market is fast receding. Their days
as an expansionist superpower will soon be over.
Political
labels
Since the collapse
of the Soviet Union the already inadequate political labels ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ have become meaningless.
They were invented to describe the division of the French Legislative Assembly
of 1791. But now the situation is more confusing. We used to know what to
expect of people according to their political designation but not any more.
Most people
throughout the world condemn the brutal occupation of Palestine and support UN
Resolution 242 calling for Israeli withdrawal.
But the old gang parties do not reflect the views of their constituents.
The governments of almost every white country are firmly in the Zionist camp
and few of them will allow any criticism of Israel.
This is
hardly surprising when parliamentary parties depend on donations from wealthy
businessmen and Zionist sympathisers like Paul Dacre and Rupert Murdoch
dominate the international media. There are a few outspoken politicians such as
George Galloway but the majority will not bite the hand that feeds them. Even
the far Right parties in France, Belgium and Britain are now supporting Israel
in a futile attempt to gain respectability.
The
Conservatives have lurched to the Right since Ted Heath took the UK into the
Common Market in 1973. They have lost three general elections in succession
campaigning on a Euro-sceptic ticket to a reformed Labour Party that has come
to terms with Europe. Only the reactionary Right and the loony Left are still
hostile to the European Union.
The monarchy
is the Establishment. The Queen represents the landed aristocracy, the Church
of England and hundreds of years of bowing and scraping. Nothing could be
further Right. But the Windsor family are totally politically correct. Queen
Elizabeth is a passionate supporter of the multi-racial Commonwealth and delights
at being photographed surrounded by her gang of black and brown tyrants at
their annual conference.
The
authorities are determined to enforce multi-racialism on the British and
American people, and so is the government of Nicolas Sarkozy. He won the last
election, and scuttled the Front National, by promising to do something about
immigration, but all he has done is pour more money into immigrant areas.
Right-wing
governments support genocide in Palestine, the mass importation of nonwhites
into Europe and the US, the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the
perpetuation of the class system. The Left opposes the occupation of Palestine,
Iraq and Afghanistan, the exploitation of Third World immigrants and social
inequality. On all of the major issues there has been a major shift in
political attitudes. Where does it leave
you dear reader?
The GLA election
The election
for the Mayor of London and the Greater London Authority will be a rehearsal
for the next general election. Ken Livingston has been in power since the start
of the GLA. And like Margaret Thatcher
and Tony Blair he has stayed too long for his own good. He has given generous
grants to various black groups on the advice of his senior aide Lee Jasper, who
is suspended pending police inquiries. “Red Ken” has been accused of
anti-Semitism because of his support for the Palestinians. The Tories are
currently hinting that he drinks too much but he says that he only drinks
whisky to relieve his bronchitis.
Tory
candidate Boris Johnson is the great grandson of Ali Kemal, Minister of the
Interior in the Ottoman Empire. He was at Eton with Dave Cameron. He said of
Tony Blair’s well-publicized trips to Africa; “The tribal warriors will all
break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief.” And he caused
further controversy by saying; “It is said that the Queen has come to love the
Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of
flag-waving piccanines.” The opinion polls are giving Boris a twelve-point
lead.
The Liberal
Democrat candidate is Brian Paddick a former Metropolitan Police Commander who
pioneered the softly-softly drugs policy. He has little chance in the Mayoral
race but the Lib Dems are expected to increase their five Assembly Members.
Apart from
the Labour, Tory and Liberal Democrats there are eleven other candidates; Sian
Berry - Green Party, Lindsey German - Respect, Gerald Battern - UKIP, Matt O’Connor - English Democrats,
Damian Hockney - One London, Alan Craig - Christian Choice, Chris Prior - Stop
the Congestion Charge, John Flunder – Senior Citizen’s Party, Winston Mackenzie
- Independent, Michael Hodges - Independent and Richard Barnbrook - BNP.
The BNP only
need a slight improvement on their 2004 result to win seats on the GLA. Their
candidate for Mayor of London is Richard Barnbrook a 47-year-old lecturer who
is leader of the opposition on Barking and Dagenham Council. He is engaged to
the BNP ballerina Simone Clarke who has a daughter from a previous relationship
with Yat-Sen Chang, a fellow principle dancer with the English National Ballet.
Nick Griffin
deposed party founder John Tyndall in 1999 and repackaged the BNP as a white
working class protest party against immigration. He has thrown out the old
guard and softened some of their policies. His leadership has been
controversial but the BNP has won more than fifty council seats. It they do as
well as expected it will put them in a good position to fight next year’s Euro
election and general election. They face the usual negative publicity but the
London Evening Standard has, so far, reported fairly.
Britain and America
European
defence contractor EADS has infuriated Boeing and the American public by
winning a $35 billion contract to supply tankers to the US Air Force. Americans have been suspicious of Britain
since they rebelled against the British Empire in 1775. And they have forgotten
that the Marquis de Lafayette and the French Fleet helped to free them from
George III. They denounce imperialism and will not admit that they have become
the world’s greatest empire.
Britain
fought the South African War for gold and diamonds and entered World War 1 to
steal the Iraqi oilfields from the Turks. We quickly annexed Germany’s overseas
possessions but when we became hopelessly bogged-down on the Western Front we
inveigled the United States into war with the Balfour Declaration promising
Palestine as a homeland for the Jews.
British
readers might protest but we cannot rewrite history or deny that our armed
forces have helped to enforce global capitalism since the days of the East
India Company. This is no fault of our servicemen who have fought bravely in
deserts, jungles and city streets. They were only obeying orders given to them
by politicians. And that goes every war in history.
There’s a
similar vein of anti-Americanism in Britain. We blame America for their
invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan but the British government backed these wars
from the start and did nothing to stop them. We can hardly criticize the
Americans for electing a homicidal halfwit as President when we have just
replaced his pathetic lapdog Tony Blair with the dithering Gordon Brown.
Big business
is an international racket. Companies like Microsoft, Sony, BP, EADS and Shell
are not specifically American, Japanese, British, French or Dutch. They have
production, marketing and distribution facilities all over the world, their
dividends are paid to shareholders worldwide and they distort the economies of
almost every nation.
In pursuit of
commerce American forces bomb civilians and violate the Geneva Convention. But
just like our boys they are only obeying orders. We must always remember that
global capitalism is comprised of all faiths; Zionists and born-again
Christians supported by the Muslim states of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf
States and Pakistan. They are allied to the communist Chinese, the capitalist
Japanese and the major states of Europe and Africa.
The great
empires perished when they ceased to be cost effective and lost the support of
their citizens. The present system will follow them into extinction. We must
start producing for consumption instead of profit. Global capitalism has failed
and will be replaced by a sustainable geopolitical system that respects human
rights.
It’s the economy, stupid
Bill Clinton
defeated George Bush Senior in the 1992 presidential election with the slogan
“it’s the economy, stupid.” American
suffered a recession after the first Gulf War and the Clinton campaign played
on the people’s fears of losing their homes and jobs. Now they are in an even
worst situation. The dollar is falling fast, the banks are threatened with
collapse, jobs are disappearing and homes are being repossessed as America
enters another recession.
This time
it’s Bill’s long-suffering wife Hillary who is poised for power. After half a
century of enforced integration and “positive discrimination” America is still
divided between white and black. But there are more whites than blacks on the
electoral roll. Some whites will vote for the mixed-race candidate Barack Obama
but most will go for Hilary Clinton, especially the women. She doesn’t have the
sexual magnetism of her philandering husband but she is white and the American
people vote along tribal lines.
In fact the
same commercial interests as the Republicans control the Democrats. There will
be no real policy changes so long as defence contractors and the oil companies
dominate America. But by being a little less belligerent Hilary can reduce the
military budget and avoid an unwinnable war against Iran.
The “War on
Terror” has reduced the world’s most vibrant economy to chaos. Pension plans
and insurance policies that were supposed to keep the baby boomer generation in
retirement are failing. In a country with inadequate social provisions people
rely on their investments. But it turns out that all the money has been spent
trying to conquer the world.
George Bush
has secured his place as the worst president in history. He has thrown away the
promise of good relations with Russia by reviving the Cold War. He has invaded
Afghanistan and Iraq against the advice of senior military advisors and wasted
trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives. And he has opened the
floodgates to Mexican immigration and made his country dependent on Chinese
imports.
Hillary
Clinton basks in her husband’s popularity. But John McCain’s reputation is
tarnished by association with the rambling, incoherent George Bush. Even a
nation bamboozled by Fox News and Time Warner can see that the Republicans
stand for war, inequality and economic disaster.
And because
Britain is so close to America we can only benefit by a change of regime in
Washington. By clinging to the Atlantic Alliance Tony Blair has threatened us
with recession. Those who talk about “British Independence” must concede that
the sharp increase in fuel, food and construction materials is entirely beyond
our control under the present system.
Abraham Lincoln
American
Renaissance reports
the discovery of letters written by President Abraham Lincoln to Illinois Senator
James A McDougall in 1862. They were discovered in the University of Rochester
NY archives and can be seen on their website. One letter tells of Lincoln’s
plan to pay compensation of $400 for each freed slave. Lincoln calculated that
the cost of freeing nearly half a million slaves in Delaware, Maryland,
Kentucky, Missouri and Washington DC would equal the $174 million needed to
wage war for 87 days.
The American
Colonization Society began settling freed slaves in West Africa in 1822. By
1847 the settlers were sufficiently established to declare the new nation of
Liberia. Lincoln’s plan was to return all of America’s blacks to Africa but the
greedy capitalists of North and South were solidly opposed to the idea.
Starved of
investment and threatened by Britain and France the infant state struggled to
survive. Relations between indigenous Africans and freed slaves were not easy
and the original American-style constitution soon turned to dictatorship. In
1926 the Firestone Rubber Company opened one of the world largest plantations
and America made further investments during the last war. But in 1980 Master
Sergeant Sam Doe overthrew the authoritarian regime of William Tolbert and
started a bloody civil war that devastated the country.
Most
African-Americans have a better standard of living than their cousins across
the Atlantic. But there is still an interest in returning to Africa amongst
followers of the Jamaican national hero Marcus Garvey, supporters of Louis
Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam and the Rastafarian movement.
People are
entitled to more than convenience food and sub prime mortgages. The blacks in
America might be better off materially but they are denied the dignity that
native Africans take for granted. The fact that Barack Obama is running for the
White House proves nothing. Big business is so contemptuous of public opinion
that they made George Bush their spokesman; a man who one said, “most of our
imports come form abroad.”
We will never
know what might have happened if Abraham Lincoln had not been
assassinated. Exploitation and racial
strife has dominated American history and is being repeated throughout the
world. We need another Lincoln with the vision and courage to fight for genuine
equality, as opposed to forced racial integration and multiculturalism in the
service of global capitalism.
Men can be
assassinated but their ideas live on. We have evolved beyond slavery and now
have the technology to fairly allocate the territory and resources of this
planet. But first we must reject supremacist notions of being a master race, or
God’s chosen people.
The violent unrest in Tibet and Xinjiang has been
timed to upset the Beijing Olympics. The underlying problem is the usual
combination of race, culture and religion. The Tibetans remain loyal to their
exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama. They have resisted Chinese rule since
the People’s Liberation Army invaded in 1950. Their gentle Buddhist faith has
not stopped them from attacking the police with bricks and petrol bombs. The
Uyghurs of Xinjiang are descended from the Caucasian tribes that ravaged
Eurasia with the army of Genghis Khan. They were the original “ogres” who were
infamous for their bravery and cruelty in the 13th century. They
speak Turkish, write in Arabic script and profess Islam. The Uyghurs are
inspired by the insurgents of Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan. The Chinese
communists spent years lecturing the world on the evils of colonialism and
racism. Now they are torn between exercising restraint for the sake of the news
cameras or using their usual brutality.
In the Sixties the British public were sympathetic to
Israel. Everybody knew that the Jews had been shamefully mistreated during the
war and most people thought that they deserved a country of their own. In the
imperialist atmosphere of those days scant attention was paid to the
Palestinians. People did not want to believe that the new state would
inevitably lead to war. But nobody changed their policies to suit public
opinion. Now half a century later the leading far right party seems to have
forbidden any criticism of Israel. The general public is sympathetic to the
Palestinians. They have seen television coverage of Israeli Defence Force
atrocities in Lebanon and Gaza and they do not like it. Every dead or injured
Arab child has damaged the Zionist cause.
And objective
journalists like Robert Fiske and Seumas Milne have dared to tell the truth. As
Margaret Thatcher said on the day that she was fired: “It’s a funny old world.”
Sarah Sands interviewed climate change expert James
Lovelock in the Daily Mail
(22-03-08). He is a distinguished scientist who believes that the Gulf
Stream will soon switch off, turning the British Isles into an Arctic
wasteland. He warns that there is nothing that we can do about it. He thinks
the coming Ice Age will kill billions of people and wipe out civilization. If
Lovelock is right it rather puts the GLA election into perspective. The
Brixton-born scientist estimates that the Earth is 3.5 billion years old. We
can only hope that he has miscalculated by a few million years. In the meantime
we will go on trying to build a better world and worry about those things that
we can change. The Jehovah’s Witnesses used to preach that the world would end
in 1914. When Malcolm Muggeridge pointed this out to a leading member of that
religion he replied that although the world had not ended, it had been a very
bad year.
