Before The Internet
When I published my duplicated newsletter 'Nation' in December 1973, I was warned that the article on William Joyce was against the law. In the days before the Internet every pub had a resident paralegal who pontificated on the Law. One such warned me that Joyce's statement was locked up for fifty years as a state secret and that I was liable to be arrested at any minute. I ignored his advice because I had taken the statement from 'The Meaning of Treason' by Rebecca West, first published in 1949 by Macmillan Co Ltd. I'm still waiting for Special Branch to knock down the door.
Without search engines we relied on books for information, but few people read books thoroughly and mistakes were made. One example concerned Carleton S Coon the distinguished American anthropologist. John Bean described him as "a Jewish scientist." When I asked JB where he got that information from he replied: "John Tyndall." In fact Dr Coon was not Jewish, he was of Cornish descent.
I published William Joyce's statement in 1974 because I thought it profoundly moving, and 49 years later I still do.
"I take this opportunity of making a preliminary statement concerning the motive that led me to come to Germany and to broadcast to Britain over the German radio service. I was actuated not by the desire for personal gain, material or otherwise, but solely by political conviction. I was brought up as an extreme Conservative with strong Imperialistic ideas, but very early in my career, namely in 1923, became attracted to Fascism and subsequently to National Socialism. Between the years of 1923 and 1939 I pursued vigorous political activities in England, at times as a Conservative but mainly as a Fascist or National Socialist. In the period immediately before this war began I was profoundly discontented with the policies pursued by British Governments, first, because I felt they would lead to the eventual disruption of the British Empire, and secondly, because I thought the existing economic system entirely inadequate to the needs of the times. I was very greatly impressed by constructive work which Hitler had done for Germany and was of the opinion that throughout Europe as also in Britain there must come a reform on the lines of National Socialist doctrine, although I did not suppose that every aspect of National Socialism as advocated in Germany would be accepted by the British people.
One of my dominant beliefs was that a war between Britain and Germany would be a tragedy, the effects of which Britain and the British Empire would not survive, and I considered that a grossly disproportionate influence was exerted on British policy by the Jews, who had their reasons for hating National Socialist Germany. When in August 1939, the final crisis emerged I felt that the question of Danzig offered no just cause for a world war. As by reason of my opinions I was not conscientiously disposed to fight for Britain against Germany, I decided to leave the country since I did not wish to play the part of the conscientious objector, and since I supposed that in Germany I should have the opportunity to express and propogate views the expression of which would be forbidden in Britain during time of war. Realizing, however, that at this critical juncture I had declined to serve Britain, I drew the logical conclusion that I should have no moral right to return to that country of my own free will and that it would be best to apply for German citizenship and make my permanent home in Germany. Nevertheless, it remained my undeviating purpose to attempt as best I could to bring about a reconcilliation or at least an understanding between the two countries. After Russia and the United States had entered the war such an agreement appeared to me no less desirable than before for, although it seemed probable that with these powerful allies Britain would succeed in defeating Germany, I considered that the price that would ultimately have to be paid for this help would be far higher than the price involved in a settlement with Germany.
This belief was strengthened from month to month as the power of Russia grew, and during the later stages of the War I became certain that Britain, even though capable of gaining a military triumph over the Germans, would in that event be confronted with a situation far more dangerous and complicated than that which existed in August 1939; and thus until the very last moment I clung to my hope of an Anglo-German understanding, although I could see that the prospects thereof were small. I know that I have been denounced as a traitor and I resent the accusation as I conceive myself to have been guilty of no underhand or deceitful act against Britain, although I am also able to understand the resentment that my broadcasts have in many quarters aroused. Whatever opinion may be formed at the present time with regard to my conduct, I submit that the final judgement cannot be properly passed until it is seen whether Britain can win the peace. Finally, I should like to stress the fact that in coming to Germany and in working for the German radio system my wife was powerfully influenced by me. She protests to the contrary, but I am sure that, if I had not taken this step, she would not have taken it either. This statement has been read over to me, and it is true." William Joyce
What is a Nation?
Opponents of 'Europe a Nation' point out that Europe is a continent of many nations. So it is, just as the United Kingdom is a group of islands of four different nations; England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Those who proudly call themselves British Nationalists are really British Unionists. But if they are entitled to call themselves British Nationalist then I am entitled to call myself a European Nationalist.
The word 'Nation' is open to interpretation. The so-called Black Muslims in America call themselves 'The Nation of Islam'. In fact, all Muslims around the world constitute the Ummah, the Muslim family, regardless of race or colour.
The Aboriginals were only granted Australian citizenship in 1967. They are slowly emerging from centuries of poverty, but despite living in the desert and being divided into many tribes, speaking different languages, they refer to themselves as the First Nation.
Gamal Abdel Nasser (1918-1990) the President of Egypt was known as the father of Arab Nationalism. The Arab League has 22 member states stretching from West Africa to the Persian Gulf, but they all embrace Arab Nationalism.
Nelson Mandella (1918-2013) was the leader of the African National Congress, and President of South Africa. The African Union has 55 member states - all committed to African Nationalism.
In view of these examples I maintain that it's legitimate to be a European Nationalist. The future of Europe will almost certainly be based on federation, just like the United States of America; a union of 50 self-governing states with one flag, one currency, one constitution, and one president.
Fears that individual nations will be wiped out by federation are unfounded. Ancient cultures such as the Welsh and the Bretons have survived incorporation into larger states like Britain and France, and they will prosper under European Federation.
Fighting City Hall
When a huge commercial development started to rise next to Frank Walsh's home in south west London, he took immediate action. I told him that planning permission had been granted by the local authority and that there was nothing he could do about it. But 95-year-old Frank was not listening. He used his skills as an artist and a writer to produce leaflets attacking Wandsworth Council and accusing them of corruption, which he distributed in Putney Hight Street, at his local public library and from a box on his front door. This resulted in him being banned from the library and threatened with prosecution.
This was to be Frank's last campaign. He spent most of his life fighting against mass migration and plutocracy; as a speaker at Speakers Corner and as a writer and blogger. He was often threatened but he treated anti-fascist violence and police harassment with equal distain. He died before he could be prosecuted and the huge development went ahead, but at least he tried.
Those thinking of taking on City Hall are advised to do so as part of tenants' association, and they are further advised not to make accusations of bribery and corruption without proof. Those who break the Law are quick to seek its protection. Millions of pounds are involved in property development and bribes and inducements have kept pace with inflation. With so much money on offer unprincipled politicians and bureaucrats sometimes give in to temptation; as Benito Mussolini said: "You always get rats in a granary."
Total Propaganda
When the invasion of Iraq started I was working with a man called Phil who knew my views. One day he came to me with the Sun newspaper showing a picture of civilians allegedly killed by Saddam Hussein's forces. He said this was proof that the war was justified. Such is the power of the press. The war on Iraq was fought in the interests of rapacious capitalism. Billions of barells oil were stolen by the international oil companies, and billions of dollars were extorted from British and American taxpayers. The Iraqis never had 'Weapons of Mass Destruction', after ten years of crippling sanctions they hardly had any weapons at all, but prime minister Tony Blair convinced Phil, and millions like him, that Saddam had missiles that could reach Europe.
The latest propaganda offensive concerns the war in Ukraine. The CIA engineered a coup that deposed the pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych and eventually installed Volodymyr Zelensky a former actor brilliantly cast as an embattled warrior with his unshaven chin and army fatigues. Zelensky then appointed three of his tribal 'cousins' to the government; Denis Shmyhal as Vice President, Oleksii Reznikov as Minister of Defence, and Andril Yermak as Chief of Staff.
Serious commentators such as Prof Andrew Latham predicts a negotiated settlement that will see the country partitioned into Ukrainian and Russian zones - a solution that was offered by Russia back in February.

Putin's alleged ambition to recreate the Soviet Union is just another fabrication like 'Weapons of Mass Destruction'. Thousands of Russians and Ukranians have died, and the economy of Europe has been shattered by the warmongers of the CIA and the propaganda of the mainstream media. As Napoleon said: "Four hostile newspapers are more fearful than 1,000 bayonets."
If Phil is still alive I expect he was upset by pictures of Ukrainian women and children killed by Russian rockets. We haven't seen any pictures of Russian victims of the war, but we are thankful that Zelensky's 'democratic' shells and missiles only strike military targets.
Demographics and Economics
The half dozen little parties of the so-called far-right all subscribe to conspiracy theories. These range from reasonable assumptions to completely mad ideas about lizard people running the world. They are also united by a dislike of foreigners, as expressed by the Brexit movement. We have been out of the EU for two years but they are still trying to 'get Brexit done', whatever that means.
We now have a new head of state and a new prime minister but our country is faced with rampant inflation, uncontrolled immigration, and low productivity. The economy is driven by global forces, immigration is completely out of control, and productivity is restrained by low wages and industrial strife.
The declining white birthrate is due to the availibility of contraception and the desire for a comfortable middle class lifestyle with two children and a dog. This has resulted in a labour shortage that is being met by immigration. That's fine, but we must make sure that we get the right kind of immigrants, preferably people who look like us and share our culture. It's all very well talking about boosting the white birthrate but that's easier said than done.
The decline in the birth rate effects the entire developed world; even Israel is having trouble. The state of Israel was founded by European and Middle Eastern Jews, but non-Jews now make up twenty percent of the population. They are trying to repatriate thousands of black refugees who have fled from the Sudan, and they also have black Jews from Ethiopia who are only tolerated because the religious authorities insist they are Jewish.
Many Jews around the world are sympathetic to immigrants because they were immigrants themselves just a generation or two ago. They naturally feel sorry for people who have fled oppression and poverty, but that doesn't mean that they want to undermine the white race. Some Jews, like George Soros, certainly do, but so do some Gentiles. Count Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi was an aristocratic Austrian who thought that Europe would be better run by the Jews and populated by a mixed race.
Mass migration is a worldwide problem that can only be solved by international co-operation. Trade deals and foreign aid programs must be designed to alieviate poverty in the Third World, and the armed forces of the great nations must be used to control mass migration. It will not be solved by an isolated and economically depleted UK, or by small paranoid groups quoting passages from obscure books.
