Bad Language

 

Vic Sarson wrote an article for European Outlook # 72 entitled 'Language and Thinking'. His key point was:

If peoples' thinking is determined by language, and if language is corrupted and debased, confusing their understanding of anything and everything, then it's easy to control what they think, especially when 'political correctness' is applied.

This view has been endorsed by many writers over the years including Ezra Pound (pictured) the award-winning poet, linguist, and economist who broadcasted for Fascist Italy during the war and was confined to a mental hospital for 13 years by a vengeful America. Pound's most controversial and allegedly anti-Semitic poem is Canto XLV, which is about 'Usura', the usurer, the destroyer of everything noble and beautiful. It never mentioned the Jews but they still took offence. 

Legal documents such as wills and contracts are written in precise language. We don't use such language in everyday speech but devious politicians and journalists take advantage of this to twist words to their own advantage. They have hijacked certain words and phrases to excuse criminals and demonize their critics. According to these twisters, if you prefer the company of your own people you are a 'racist', if you value the traditional family you are 'homophobic', if you criticise parliamentary democracy you are a 'fascist', if you question economic policy you are part of the 'anti-growth coalition', and if you condemn the Israeli occupation of Palestine you are 'anti-Semitic'. But tax evaders are now ''tax avoiders' and crooks are 'entrepreneurs'.

It's bad enough to be insulted without running the risk of prosecution. The fanatics of the race relations industry, including the police and the guardians of social media, will pounce on dissidents who say anything that could be considered 'racists', but they can't touch us if we choose our words carefully. We shouldn't have to submit to this kind of censorship but in today's climate of 'political correctness' it's important that we say what we mean and we mean what we say. 

The State is using anti-terrorist legislation to silence opposition, just as they did in 1940 when they used Defence Regulation 18B to detain peace campaigners without charge or trial. This Act was passed to counter the IRA but it was used against Britons who posed no threat to security.

Kris O'Donnellan

I have been in touch with Kris O'Donnellan for almost 20 years. We were both early Facebook fans who shared a passion for communication. Many people are suspicious of Facebook but it's what you make it. Kris is a long-standing European Nationalist from California with a clear understanding of world politics. He posted the following statement in October 2022:

Enemies on The Left and Right alike Neocons/'Conservative' apologists for bankers and the transnational corporations on one side and nutty, vicious, woke leftists who hate everything normal and traditional or Western/European. The disgusting scribblers of Silicon Valley and in Hollywood orchestrate and celebrate this 'transformation' of Somwheres into Nowheres. The main enemies of average Americans have always been domestic and not in Moscow, Beijing or Tehran. Know your social, and class/economic enemies.

The following dialogue is from November 2022.

Kris O'Donnellan. What do you think of Red Toryism and Blue Labour? While these are marginal currently in terms of influence do you think these might gain traction as conditions for average people deteriorate and wokeness gets crazier?

Bill Baillie. I dont know what to think. I am an old fashioned fascist who believes in God, King and Country. I detest both left and right. I only hope that they will destroy each other.

Kris O'Donnellan. I have been involved in Nationalism' since age 14 here in the US, so for about 40 years now. I was never much of a 'conservative' and indeed attracted initially to the far left though their anti-white, anti-western position and hostility to the white working class repelled me.

I followed the Nationalist scene in Britain for decades starting with Tyndall's Spearhead, which believe it or not, University of Los Angeles, California library had a subscription to in the 80s. I was also interested in the Political Soldier Wing of the National Front (Holland, Harrington, Griffin) and read their publications like NF News and Nationalism Today.

I always found Mosley, the BUF, and post-war Union Movement very interesting and appealing. Had I lived in the Britain of the 1930s would definitely have been a Blackshirt.

I have always been pan-European in outlook rather than petty nationalist so the ideas of Yockey, Thiriart and Mosley were very appealing from the time I discovered them in the 80s and still to this day.

 Another Fine Mess

When Laurel and Hardy got into trouble it was always described as "Another Fine Mess." The UK is in just such a mess but it's no laughing matter. Nearly all our public service workers; doctors, nurses, firefighters, railwaymen, bus drivers, teachers, lecturers, and postmen are on strike for more pay. Our economy is shrinking, we have a desperate skilled labour shortage, inflation is running at 10%, immigration is out of control, the housing crisis is getting worse, the Northern Ireland Protocol has just been renegotiated, and people have lost confidence in our overpaid and incompetent politicians. 

Kier Starmer the moderate leader of the Labour Party expects to take over at the next general election but he can hardly be looking forward to it. Britain's long standing problems are the result of years of laisez faire government and poor decision making. They will not be put right quickly.

The recent turnover of Cabinet Ministers has added to the chaos. They are not in office long enough to get used to the job before they are sacked or reshuffled. The only good thing is their colourful private lives that are a constant source of amusement, and their dodgy financial dealings that keep the fraud squad busy.

Britain has gone through some terrible times. We survived the First World War, the Great Depression, The Second World War, the collapse of the British Empire and the transformation of our United Kingdom into a disunited dependency of the United States. But the stresses and strains of this brutal upheaval have left us broken and battered.

Whoever takes over at the next general election will need to balance the budget and make a determined effort to reduce our National Debt. There are no short cuts. Taxes will have to rise and public spending will have to fall. We will also have to negotiate a sensible trade deal with Europe instead of waving flags and spouting nationalist slogans.

Economic theories are good subjects for student debating societies but we live in the real world where we have to follow the rules of the game. We have to start paying off our £2.4 trillion National Debt in order to maintain Market confidence and sell the government bonds that keep us afloat. When we achieve national solvency we can think about social credit, or syndicalism, but until then we will have to work hard, keep out of foreign wars, and stop wasting money by pretending to be a great world power.

The billions of pounds of taxpayers' money that we are giving to the Zelensky regime in Ukraine would help to pay the nurses, and so would the billions we give away in foreign aid. All nations are corrupt to some extent but Ukraine, according to Ernst & Young, is the third most corrupt nation in the world after Colombia and Brazil.

History Repeats Itself

A few years ago my friend Brenda died. Her estate was eventually sorted out but at one time it looked like I would have to pay for her funeral. When a young man asked me why I should pay the bill, I told him that it was my duty to do so, but he didn't understand the concept of duty.

It's hardly surprising that the younger generation are so ignorant. The latest census revealed that Christianity is now a minority religion in England and Wales. Another anchor has gone. We have lost our Queen and it remains to be seen if her son Charles can maintain the ancient tradition of monarchy. As more and more immigrants arrive from all over the world we are losing our sense of identity, but instead of protesting our useless politicians are falling over themselves to 'celebrate diversity'.

When I was a kid most men had served in the armed forces and everyone was used to discipline. The British Empire was rapidly collapsing but we were still a major industrial power. People in those days understood 'duty' and few questioned our institutions. We respected our elders, our teachers, the police and authority in general. Unfortunately, those days are gone. Today, we have largely forgotten our traditions and embraced liberal capitalism; a sad and selfish mixture of greed and envy. 

Our national culture evolved over centuries. God, King and Country may be old-fashioned concepts but they served us well. I doubt that we will be any happier for abandoning them.

But history repeats itself. Just over a hundred years ago the Bolsheviks killed Tsar Nicholas (pictured) and his family. They confiscated the wealth of the country and attempted to wipe out the Russian Orthodox Church. They installed a dictatorship that was supposed to meet all the needs of the people, but just like the French Revolution, the Russian experiment turned into a bloody nightmare. At present the Russians are engaged in a fratricidal war with their Ukrainian cousins, but this unnecessary conflict will eventually be resolved.

Russia's elected leader, Vladimir Putin, who is very close to the Russian Orthodox Church, has apologised for the murder of the Romanovs. The trappings of the Russian Empire have been reinstated; the Red Flag has been replaced by the red, white, and blue tricolour, the national anthem has been re-written, the imperial eagle has supplanted the hammer and sickle and it's even possible that the monarchy might be restored at some time in the future.

With God's help we will follow in Russia's footsteps and return to our roots. I don't regret the passing of some of our traditions, and I know that change must happen, but we have lost so many of our signposts that we no longer know where we are or where we are going.

John Beattie was born in 1942 in Toronto. In the mid-sixties he established the Canadian National Socialist Party which resulted in him being assaulted by 'antifascists' and imprisoned by the Canadian authorities. He studied law at Toronto University and qualified as a paralegal. In 2014 he stood as deputy reeve (chief executive) for Minden Hills. He said at the time:

"A person with my strong views for our race globally, especially those of British stock, why would I be pinning down to a little village? First off, this village is still Anglo-Saxon. Hidden away in cottage country, Ontario, Canada - 98% white, whiter than the driven snow.

I don't see any non-whites. I don't cater to the couple of Asian-descended stores so I don't see a non-white all winter. In the eight weeks of summer season, yes, you get the flood from the city of non-whites or whatever.

There is a big difference between being proud of your white British-Canadian heritage and being a Nazi." 

He now concentrates on his Dinosaur News website and his You Tube channel.
