Nation Revisited

An occasional email to friends
Surviving Westminster
Parties of the so-called far Right have
been campaigning for over eighty years without returning a single Member of
Parliament. The prewar Blackshirts were a mass movement with a charismatic
leader, thousands of members, regional offices and scores of paid officials.
The National Front of the Seventies was also a nationwide party that dominated
the headlines with their volatile marches and meetings. But although these
parties achieved a high level of support and a great deal of publicity, they
never managed to get a candidate elected to parliament.
The Reds used to say that it didn’t matter
if they had no MPs because there were enough far Left Labour members to promote
their cause; but the nationalist movement has had very few friends in
Parliament.
John Beckett was very much a socialist
during his time as an Independent Labour MP before he left to join Mosley’s
BUF.
Captain Ramsey was opposed to the war and
the warmongers but he was a Tory and a traditionalist rather than a fascist.
Enoch Powell was famously opposed to
immigration but he believed in parliamentary democracy and was opposed to
authoritarianism.
There have been several MPs who have said
all the right things but none of them have been nationalists in the sense that
they believed in race and nation. Now, for the first time, we may be close to
getting a decent candidate elected to what Jack Lelieve used to call “that once
august establishment the House of Commons.”
The ethnic riots in Birmingham and the
terrorist bombings in London can only help the BNP. People are afraid and for
the future and sick of the sleaze associated with the old gang parties.
Although the first past the post electoral
system favours the status quo, a good nationalist candidate in the right area
could just make it.
It is important that such a candidate is
not seduced by the culture of Westminster and its ancient tradition of bribery
and corruption..
Most MPs are only interested in their own
careers; party differences do not stop them from being mates who drink in the
same bars with middlemen and fixers.
These amoral degenerates do not support the
New World Order out of conviction but because they are handsomely paid to do
so.
A weak-minded character exposed to this
atmosphere of overwhelming corruption would soon become infected with
parliamentary paralysis of the personality.
The people we send to Westminster must be
imbued with the highest principles of our movement if they are to keep their
integrity. They must remember that they are there to represent the British
people; not to take bribes, enjoy free holidays and accept letterhead
directorships.
Marvin Dag
The incredible career of Marvin Dag began
in 1916 when he was born in the foothills of the Himalayas to his Indian Army
parents. The young Marvin was sent to Scotland for a Spartan education at
McSnotties before going to Oxford. He quit his studies in 1936 to fight in the
Spanish Civil War as a volunteer with General Eoin O’Duffy’s Irish Brigade.
He lost an eye at Ciempozuelos and was
mentioned in dispatches.
In 1938 he arrived in London and immersed
himself in fascist activities. In 1939 he split with Mosley, Leese, Joyce and
Beckett and founded the short-lived and little-known National Socialist Direct
Action Party. This small but dynamic movement specialized in attacking other
people’s meetings and by the outbreak of war most of its members were serving
prison sentences for assault. Dag was interned under Regulation 18B until 1944.
He used his time in Brixton Prison to write
his first book ‘Fighting for Peace.’ In 1946 he was charged with causing an
affray and remanded in custody until 1948 when the case was dropped for lack of
evidence. He tried to sue the Attorney General for malicious prosecution and
false imprisonment but with no success.
In 1949 Marvin Dag became disillusioned
with life in Britain. He decamped to Argentina and secured a position with the
General Confederation of Labour. He became a confidant of President Juan and
Evita Peron and worked tirelessly for the Peronist movement until the CIA
sponsored coup of 1955. He then spent five years in Paraguay doing welfare work
amongst distressed German immigrants.
He returned to the UK in time for the great
fascist revival of the early Sixties and progressed through the rosary of the
Right from Empire Loyalist to National Front.
Marvin Dag became so depressed by the
faction fighting of the late Seventies that he suffered a nervous breakdown.
This was aggravated by immoderate drinking and resulted in him spending two
years recovering in an American clinic.
He founded a new movement the New Social
Distributist Alliance Party in 1984.
The NSDAP refuses to take part in the democratic
process but still functions from Dag’s remote highland retreat at Dounraey. The
party issues an occasional bulletin called “The People’s Observer,” edited by
their nonagenarian leader.
Marvin dag has always inspired loyalty or
loathing. Mosley dismissed him as a dreamer,
Leese was convinced that he was working for
the State; Chesterton said that he was mad.
But Tyndall admired his positive attitude;
Bean thought him a likable chap and hundreds of followers are still loyal to
the grand old man of the extreme Right.
His works include:
Fighting for Peace: an account of the
anti-war campaign. 1946
Justice Denied: the story of his legal
action against the government. 1949
Peron in Perspective: a tribute to the
Argentine President. 1955
March of The Right: the British nationalist
scene in the Sixties. 1967
Getting it Wrong: the decline of the
British nationalist movement. 1983
Life on The Front Line: his autobiography.
1995

Keep it Simple
Political parties without MPs do not need
to publish detailed manifestos. They should stick to general principles and
avoid unnecessary arguments about policy. The Tories need a manifesto that
covers every issue because they could be called upon to form a government, but
the nationalist movement is not in this position and should keep it simple.
Benito Mussolini came to power in 1922 as
leader of a movement of ex-servicemen, unemployed workers and ruined members of
the middle-class. Their revolution was a reaction to economic collapse.
Mussolini proclaimed – “Those who form the productive class must know that
Fascism wants to impose nothing more than order and discipline upon the Nation
and to help raise the strength with which to renew progress and prosperity.” In
the next twenty years the movement’s political policies were developed but when
the Blackshirts marched on Rome they were concerned only with taking power.
The British National Party is well known
because of the race hate trials and the National Front is remembered for their
marches and demonstrations. Many people, and most newspapers, confuse the two
parties or think that they are one and the same. But people vote against
immigration and do not care what the party is called or exactly what its
policies are. The 5 – 10% vote for nationalist candidates in parliamentary
elections and the 10 – 30% in local elections have been consistent since the
war.
With more than twenty councilors throughout
the country the BNP is poised to make the breakthrough to parliamentary
representation. When we achieve this it will be time to start thinking about
detailed policies but until then we should concentrate on the main issue.
Existing and proposed legislation will severely limit what parties can print in
their manifestos. There is no point in publishing policies that will lead to
imprisonment.
It is sufficient to state that we believe
in Britain for the British; getting involved in arguments about exactly who is
British, or who goes or stays is unnecessary for a party that has no MPs and no
authority.
In 1922 the problem throughout Europe was
unemployment and recession; today it’s the threat to our culture and ethnic
survival. This core issue unites all factions and it is perfectly legal to call
for an end to non-European immigration. As members of the EU we are obliged to
accept fellow Europeans but we can legally object to non-Europeans on
‘political’ rather than racial grounds.
People know what we stand for and there is no need to get involved in
heated debates or legal actions.
The 2005 General Election produced some
good results but in a couple of areas there were competing nationalist
candidates. The nationalist parties must agree on an electoral pact. If a
particular party has got a good chance in a constituency that they have long
cultivated it is only common sense to support them. This may be difficult for
the party leaders but they must do it.
Views on The News
The steady increase in temperature
threatens to melt the polar icecaps and raise sea levels. This would flood
low-lying territories and cause meteorological problems throughout the world.
It is thought that this phenomenon is due to the pollution from power
generation, heavy industry and motor traffic.
We can reduce industrial pollution by using
cleaner fuels and by treating emissions, but cars can only be controlled by
political action. Buses and trains must be made available and the use of motor
vehicles limited. Of course, no democratic government is going to commit
political suicide by proposing such measures. When Bill Clinton was Governor of
Arkansas he taxed car use to pay for road improvements. But the angry motorists
reacted so violently that he had to scrap the taxes and apologize. This taught
Bill never to mess with motorists and that you can always get out of trouble by
apologizing.
Slobodan Milosevic has cheated the UN war
crimes tribunal in The Hague by dying in custody. He was as bad as Franjo
Trudman of Croatia and Alija Izetbegovic of Bosnia but certainly no worse. The
Yugoslav disaster shows what can happen when Europeans forget their common
ancestry and revert to tribalism. The Yugoslavs came together because they are
the same people. The Croats and Slovenes adopted Catholicism under the Austro-
Hungarian Empire. The Bosniaks were influenced by the Ottoman Empire and
adopted Islam. The Serbs and Macedonians looked to Russia and remained
Orthodox. These nations united under a popular monarchy and later under Marshal
Josip Tito, but when he died the federation was torn apart by petty
nationalists.
We must ensure that sectarian division in
Ireland and linguistic division in Spain and Belgium do not threaten European
solidarity as in the Balkans.
The sale of seats in The House of Lords to
wealthy businessmen is hardly a new development. In the old days it was the
King who dished out titles for cash, now it is Tony Blair. The answer is to
sell peerages on the open market. We could get one of the great auction houses
to handle it. Bids could be accepted by phone from America and Japan and we
could create thousands of new peerages. At a million pounds a time this would
help to pay for the National Health Service or buy a few missiles to fire at
Iraqi civilians. The newly noble Lords could pose in their ermine and coronets
for photos to be sent home to Tokyo or Crawford, Texas.
The latest riots in France were not just by
disadvantaged African and Arab immigrants but included middle-class French
people. The dismantling of France’s worker protection laws is the thin end of
the wedge. France is copying the UK where it is much easier to sack people.
This is part of the ‘flexible’ labour market so beloved of the New World order.
The next step will be to adopt the American system where workers can be sacked
on the spot without compensation. The civilized conditions enjoyed by French
and German workers are what being European is all about. We will never be able
to compete with the teeming masses of Asia and there is no reason why we
should. This systematic undermining of labour is part of the world trade racket
that would put all Europeans out of work in favour of cheaper workers from the
far-east.
This article first appeared in ‘Action” in
November 1980. In the 26 years since it was written the Soviet Union has been
replaced by the Russian Federation and the big issue is now ‘The Clash of
civilizations’ between Islam and the West.
Nick Griffin’s article in the March issue
of ‘Identity’ examines this conflict and the role of pressure groups in
manipulating American foreign policy.
He comes to the conclusion that there are
many reasons for the current situation and that anyone who claims to know all
the answers is a ‘crackpot.’
Conspiracy and Commonsense
Publications of the far Right all tend to
subscribe to conspiracy theories. They claim that certain minorities are bent
on subversion and attempt to prove their argument by quoting from obscure
tracts, such as ‘The Protocols of The Learned Elders of Zion’ produced by the
19th Century Russian eccentric Sergei Nilus who believed that
‘hidden forces’ were conspiring to take over the world.
The fact is that there are two real powers
in the modern world each openly seeking international control; the Soviet union
which follows the avowed Marxist-Leninist objective of global hegemony, and the
United States of America which heads international capitalism and naturally
aims to export goods and credit to every nation.
Now a third ideology has emerged, an ever
growing body of men and women who reject the excesses of communism and
capitalism alike and are striving to create a new order of Europe and the
former Dominions, a self-sufficient bloc free of both American-led capitalism
and Soviet-dominated communism, but hostile to neither.
Only Europe the true mother of both the
American and Russian civilizations has the resources, manpower and native
genius to correct the mistakes of the past – such as non-European immigration
into Britain – and lead the world of the next century, which clearly will be
divided into geopolitical entities.
Historians of the future will not attribute
the political disasters of today to secret cabals meeting in dark alcoves but
to elected representatives meeting in open assemblies, motivated not by
duplicity but by stupidity. The old parties blame each other, or the French or
the Common Market for our ills. The conspiracy freaks denounce everybody from
Buddhists to Baptists. We put the blame where it belongs; on the heads of
bumbling politicians who cling to the worn-out thinking of the past and reject
the modern scientific solutions, which only we advocate.
