Climate Change
History has always been driven by climate. When global warming caused the northern ice cap to melt our ancestors left their Iberian refuge and came to the British Isles. We don't know much about them but they couldn't have been savages because they built Stonehenge and similar monuments that required a knowledge of logistics, geometry, astronomy, and engineering.
Thousands of years later the Romans colonised Western Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. At that time Egypt was the breadbasket of Rome. But in 44 BC the Mount Okmok volcano erupted in Alaska causing a two year drought in far away Egypt. This resulted in an economic recession in Rome leading to civil unrest, the assassination of Julius Caesar, the War of Actium and the deaths of Anthony and Cleopatra. These events were attended by all sorts of political intrigues but their underlying cause was climate change.
Napoleon Bonaparte was another victim of climate change. He was defeated at Waterloo by the Duke of Wellington's pan-European army but the weather played a major part in his downfall. A massive volcanic eruption on the Indonesian island of Tambora caused torrential rain throughout Europe, and as the Emperor waited for the rain to stop Marshal Blucher arrived with a Prussian army to seal his fate.
There is nothing new about climate change. Industrial pollution adds to the problem but nature is influenced by solar and planetary activity as well as gas escaping from fissures, geysers, and volcanoes on land and underwater. We can limit the amount of carbon that we release into the atmosphere but nature will not be constrained. Great volcanic eruptions such as Mount Okmok, Tambora, Krakatoa, and Mount St Helens, produced much more pollution than mankind. All living creatures emit gas from both ends, and landfill sites and sewage treatment works are a major sources of methane. We should certainly try to reduce our emmisions but we will never eliminate them..
As the world gets warmer crops will fail and people will head north to survive. If we don't do something to conrol the influx we will be overwhelmed by climate refugees. The Africans need to develop their agriculture, control their population growth, and instead of growing cash crops such as coffee, cocoa, and tobacco they should grow food that they can eat. It's in our interest to help them to stay in their own continent.
The war in Ukraine has highlighted the problem. Egypt imports 40% of its wheat and grain from Russia and Ukraine to feed its booming population of 106 million. In ancient times Egypt fed Europe but now the situation has been reversed. The Egyptians have made great efforts to improve their agriculture. The US Department of Agriculure estimates that Egypt is reclaiming 1.5 million acres (607,028 ha) from the desert, but they are constrained by a shortage of water and urban encroachment.
Bill Barnes
With the passing of time, members of the pre-war fascist movements have all passed away, and so have most of the supporters of Union Movement and the 1967 National Front. One of them was my old friend Bill Barnes.
Frederick Charles Cecil Barnes, always known as Bill, was born in London in 1912 and died of cancer in St Thomas Hospital in 1981. He was educated at Dulwich College and Pitman’s College. He was a typical Englishman but he was in fact of Latvian ancestry. His daughter Diana was killed in a road traffic accident in 1975. His second wife, Rita, who belonged to Union Movement in the sixties, died in 2005. His son, Paul, who shared his politics, died in 2012.
Bill Barnes had supported most of the pre-war fascist movements. He admired Oswald Mosley for his intelligence and leadership; Arnold Leese for his radicalism, and John Beckett for his courage. John Beckett was godfather to his son Paul who was born in 1946. Bill Barnes told me that when his friend William Joyce went to Germany in 1939 he was advised by a Special Branch officer that he could not be prosecuted because he was born in America of Irish parents. That turned out to be very bad advice; Joyce was executed for treason in 1946.
Bill managed to avoid being rounded up under Defence Regulation 18B and he took up the fight as soon as the war was over. He supported Union Movement in the fifties, John Bean's BNP and the League of Empire Loyalists in the sixties, and the National Front in the seventies.
In July 1962 Bill was beaten up at the Battle of Balls Pond Road when a group of BNP supporters were ambushed by the Reds, on the same day that Oswald Mosley and his followers were attacked in nearby Ridley Road. But far from discouraging him it only made him more determined.
Bill fought all his life against the Money Power; he believed in national self-sufficiency, he campaigned against immigration, he dismissed communism as a creed based on envy, he hated the Conservatives, he despaired of the upper classes, and he boasted that fascism was déclassé.
In the seventies he wrote for my newsletter 'Nation' which was distributed from the Bladebone pub in Bethnal Green. His article “From Camelot to Ridley Road” was reprinted in John Bean’s 1999 political autobiography “Many Shades of Black”.
Bill Barnes was an educated man who could talk with ease on any subject. Over the years he knew most of the leaders of the patriotic parties and gave balanced and valuable advice to many of them. He was always well-dressed and well-spoken but he could look after himself and many an “anti-fascist” thug regretted picking on him. He was what Benito Mussolini described as: "the perfect fascist with a book and a musket" - "libro e moschetto: fascista perfetto."
John Gaster
In 2008 the BBC broadcasted an archive recording of John Gaster, a prominent post-war fascist intellectual, on the subject of 'Edward V111: Black Magic and Sexual Yogic Activities'.
"He had been entrapped and enslaved by the king watchers, who knew he was dangerous, and their instrument was one of a group of black magical osteopaths. The head of it was a quack doctor called Dr Alexander Cannon. Original arrangements with Cannon had been established in Austria because Edward needed a dry out cure for addictive drinking. But bit by bit he had become immersed in a world of black magic and sexual yogic activities. Like a sling round the throat of Edward V111 and which in fact was the mechanism that made it possible for the establishment to dethrone him."

The following article appeared in Nation Revisited # 100 Febuary 2013:
The inquest into the death of Gareth Williams the MI6 codebreaker who was found dead in a zipped-up holdall in his Pimlico flat, reminded me of another highly intelligent character who had worked for the government and died in unusual circumstances. It seems that not all of our spies are as indestructible as James Bond.
John Marston Gaster was dismissed by Jeffrey Hamm as public relations officer of the British League of Ex-Servicemen and Women for being too openly National Socialist. That was before the League was absorbed into Oswald Mosley’s Union Movement in 1948. He then founded an organization called the North West Task Force under the slogan “Wir Kommen Wieder” – “We come again”; a bold but risky strategy in the immediate postwar period. A few years later he founded a swastika bedecked movement called the British Pan-German League.
His contemporaries describe John Gaster as an impressive character. Roger Clare remembered him as an accomplished pianist, linguist and historian who had worked for the British Foreign Office. John Bean recalled him addressing a meeting of the National Labour Party in an upstairs room of Bill Webster’s pub the Black Horse in Kentish Town; and discussing history and politics with his comrades Frank Leonard, Neville Bealing and Peter Greenslade. Roy Chester told me that John Gaster used to translate directly from the Russian newspaper Pravda. And Vic Sarson remembers a tall, well-spoken man smartly dressed in a railwayman’s uniform.
He was an authority on secret societies and the author of Krumm-Heller in England, a treatise on the German-Mexican Rosicrucian Arnoldo Krumm-Heller who was implicated in the Zimmerman Telegram in WW1 and supported the pro-Nazi Swiss National Front during WW2.
I met John Gaster in the Bladebone pub in Bethnal Green in 1972. He asked me if I knew anything about the Italian “Propaganda Due” Masonic lodge. But I knew nothing about P2 until the apparent suicide of “God’s Banker” Roberto Calvi a decade later. When I heard that he had died following an assault in 1998 I remembered our conversation and I was intrigued when the “anti-fascist” magazine Searchlight blamed Roberto Fiore, leader of the Italian Forza Nova party, for his death: an allegation that Alexander Baron dismissed as just another Jerry Gable fantasy. The Coroner found that his death was caused by an infection and the police made no arrests.
John Gaster was just one of the many thousands of people who have passed through the so-called far-right movements. But he is remembered as a remarkable man by all who knew him. He was apparently born about 1920 so he would have been nearly 80 years-old when he died. It is not known why he left the Foreign Office and ended his working life on the railways. Or why such a gifted linguist and historian devoted himself to radical politics instead of pursuing an academic career. We can only speculate on the man and his motives and be grateful that we knew him. Not many railwaymen can speak Sanskrit or quote pages of Goethe.
Sam Dickson comments on Douglas Mercer's article "Dark Future" in 'National Vanguard' -https://nationalvanguard.org
These thoughts are directed to the specific and peculiar situation in America but they have some relevance to you in the Old Country too.
All true, well said and some of these arguments we have all used.
But the sad facts as shown by psychologists' studies is that 70% to 80% of the herd will believe what they are told by the authorities even when it is clearly wrong.
And we have to face the facts that for someone to be swayed by such arguments the necessary preconditions are that (a) he thinks long term (50 years out even) and (b) he feels a tie, a connection, and identity for his own race, ethnic group, region, religion.
The majority of people do not think long term. That is why Social Security, for instance, is so necessary due to the fact that most people do not think long term.
I came to the conclussion some time ago that American Whites have the lowest level of group identity of any people on the planet.
They came here because their psychological ties to England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Poland, Gtreece, etc. were weaker than the ties connecting their neighbors who stayed.
They were then marinated in an ideology that glorifies individualism.
They live their lives in obedience to the liberetarian Jew Robert Ringer's title of his book: "Looking Out For Number One."
I say these things not to discourage but to direct our thoughts to what we must do if the opportunity ever presents itself.
It is our personas, our hard wiring, that we think idependently of the Regime's System Media and that we are psychologically connected to our community instead of being individuals.
We could not be other than the way we are.
We are the natural shepherds of the herd I spoke of above.
If our people are to find a way out of their present plight and their future hell, it will be through a small ruthless elite taking charge of them, replacing the System as the voice of authority, hammering down the impulse toward individualism, imposing team allegience and action on our people and doing whatever is required to win.*
We open the eyes of those who have it in them to respond to the arguments set out in the essay you sent. We open their eyes. We open their ears. Our aim is to incorporate them into the ruthless band of brothers we have to have.
But we cannot raise the living dead from their psychological graves.
Anyway, these are my thoughts.
Sam
