Nation Revisited # 208 February 2024

Brexit Predictions

I exchanged emails with John Bean (pictured) for many years, particularly about Europe, but I couldn't understand why he supported Brexit when he advocated a "Confederation of European States", which is surely what the EU is.

In March 2016 I questioned a statistic JB had quoted in the BNP magazine 'Identity' which he edited.

John,

I have looked hard at the Oxford University Migrant Observatory website but I can't find the figures you quote for non-Europeans from the EU in 2010. If some of them were Nigerians with Nigerian passports they would be counted as such, even if they arrived from the EU. But if they were German or French citizens of Nigerian origin they would be classed as German or French. I don't doubt that you have seen a figure of 141,000 but I can't find it. The only significant group of non-Europeans from the EU that I found were Cypriots from Turkish Northern Cyprus. The Cypriots claim them as their citizens but so do the Turks. But they only amount to a few thousand. There is a similar situation with Moldovans who are entitled to Romanian passports, and Russian-speaking citizens of the Baltic republics who the Russians consider to belong to them. Again, the numbers of these people are tiny.

If there are meaningful developments in the refugee crisis you may want to edit your article. I think that Angela Merkel and Dave Cameron will promise the Turks anything to halt the influx and help them at the polls. That's the trouble with trying to be topical - things change and it's hard to keep up with events. The refugee crisis was manna from Heaven for UKIP but if it appears to be under control the punters will forget all about it.

I think that this referendum is about immigration and Dave Cameron. Most people have no interest in Europe one way or another, but they can be wound up by populist newspapers and politicians. One of the unforeseen consequences of the Out campaign is that it really would be 'Little England' because Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are likely to vote to stay in. It's all very well for Boris to promise that the British Government will pay farming subsidies equal to the CAP but few people believe him.

We have got another four months of propaganda before we ask people to make a decision. The question should be: Do you want to be an independent sovereign state totally controlled by global capitalism - or do you want to be part of the EU and totally controlled by global capitalism? The people must decide.

Best wishes Bill

Hello Bill,

I have checked the quote from the Oxford University Migration Observatory and I see that it came from a Philip Johnson writing in the Daily Telegraph 21.10.14. He said it came from the Oxford report "several years back". So this could have been any time from 2000 to 2005 or 6. I just made a stab at it being 2010, but the message was informative.

I agree 100 percent with your paragraphs 3 & 4.

Regards John.

It Happened Here: The experiences of a British political prisoner in British Prisons and Concentration Camps during the Fifth Column panic of 1940/1 - Charlie Watts

An extract from 'Comrade' June 1986

If the boys can take it...

Right from the start I was, to say the least, very displeased and disgusted to find that OM was expected to to keep his own cell clean etc. It amused me to see other people on the Pot Parade , but with the leader, my reaction went the other way. But he took it like the great man he is. I determined to try and make his prison life as easy as possible so offered my services as a sort of 'batman'. These were immediately refused. He said "I may be the leader outside  but here I am one of the boys, and if the Boys can take it - so can I." I persisted day after day and several times incurred his displeasure and annoyance. I would wait until his back was turned and then nip into his cell and tidy up a bit, or fetch a jug of water or something like that.

So must I !

One morning, as soon as my door was opened, I followed the Screw round the landing , and as soon as he opened OM's door, I nipped in, grabbed his jerry and got his own crack back at him while he was still in bed. "You may be the leader outside but in here you're one of the boys and I'm emptying the bloody thing this morning."

He looked astonished and I expected a real mouthful when I returned the empty, but found him highly amused. This served to break down his resistance and from then onward I'm happy in the knowledge that I made his life just a little easier for him.

Ancient Tribal Hatreds

According to the Bible Abraham had two sons, Ishmael, his first born, with his Palestinian handmaiden Hagar, and Isaac with his Jewish wife Sarah. When Isaac was born Abraham disowned Hagar and Ishmael and banished them to Mecca, where Ishmael became the father of the Arab nation. I relate these Bible stories merely to show their antiquity. Genesis dates back 3,400 years, that's how long the Israelis and the Palestinians have been divided.

We all know the story of Samson and Delilah. Samson, the last Judge of Israel, was known for his long hair and great strength. He was betrayed by his lover Delilah who cut off his hair and handed him over to the Philistines (Palestinians). They took him to Gaza where they blinded him and made him a slave, but he pulled down the Philistine Temple and perished with them. 

I cried as a boy when I saw the 1949 film of Samson and Delilah. I thought it was wicked to blind Samson and unforgivable for Delilah to betray him. Of course the Biblical account was written by the Jews so we only have their word for what happened. Things are not much different today. Gaza is once again a place of murder and cruelty driven by ancient tribal hatreds, and once again we are only hearing one side of the story.

Israel is an American protectorate that will last as long as America provides the arms and money for her defence. The Israelis are brave soldiers, but bravery alone does not win wars, as the Ukrainians are proving. Wars are won by having the resources, the equipment and the manpower. 

America and Britain have entered the war between Israel and Palestine by attacking the Houthi rebels that are trying to prevent arms and ammunition reaching Israel. This is not surprising. Prime minister Rishi Sunak, his foreign minister Dave Cameron and opposition leader Keir Starmer are Zionists. Rishi Sunak is loyal to his former employer Goldman Sachs, Dave Cameron's great great grandfather was the German banker Emile Levita, and Keir Starmer is naturally sympathetic to his Jewish wife Lady Victoria.

To all Friends of Willis Carto - Elizabeth Carto

The world is collapsing all around us, at least it appears as such. It is impossible to find rational thought in today's news media. (In times of disaster one had to tolerate that Fox was always there to bring us the worst). Amazingly, the current upheaval in the Middle East put all their talking heads on full speed. They went overboard in detailing the demise of thousands of people, including Jews. All my favourite talkers spoke as one voice. They knew nothing except that their masters in the Holy Land and New York City needed them desperately to condemn the outrage committed by the Palestinians. Hannity stood on his head; he went literally insane for a while. With admirers and followers, joining him in the eternal damnation trip against the poor Palestinian people, he raised money for the Israeli Defense Forces. Why not raise money for his American brethren, walking our streets for one more pay for their hard work at GM and other auto makers who could easily move factories to Mexico? But as they say: The worm turns. After a short time of caterwauling, we find that even "normal" people finally were feeling the need to at least listen to the other side. I never thought I would applaud the four Muslim Congresswomen; they had the guts to be honest with their convictions. I hope that is not transitory.

Studying the history of Israel one must first check out the same for Palestine. After all, it was their country for thousands of years. A minority of Jews are of biblical significance today. Books have been written by Jews proving that at the most 2% of today's Jews in Israel are actually of desirable ancestry. The majority arrived from Russia and Eastern Europe; they are of Khazar ancestry, not Jewish by birth right. Perhaps they had faith that with the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 the waving of a wand would turn them all into biblical Jews. The misguided Christians of today still believe it. We have all been paying the price for those illusions ever since.

The Palestinians were ruled by the Ottoman Empire for over four centuries. During WW1, Ben Gurion contemplated wearing a Turkish uniform to join the Turkish army. They had joined Germany in WW1 to fight off the British. Ben Gurion was just about to become part of the Turkish army but then WW1 and Turkey did not require his services. He was an honest man and wrote amusingly about these matters.

At the end it was Perfidious Albion who sold out the Palestinians. The Balfour Declaration of 1917 sounded the death knell for the Middle East; peace had only been fleeting. The British, as so often, put their mortgages out to the highest bidder.

During those years wealthy titled landowners in England had mortgaged their properties to the hilt, including the Churchills. The Bank of England and its auxiliaries were the entities acquiring properties by arranging intermarriages with Jewish moneyed princesses and buying out others cheaply. WW1 pauperised England and it went to the highest bidders. Today, Wall Street luminaries have been replaced with cheap Hollywood trash and cheating fly-by-night investment houses. Those left in New York City have to barricade themselves in their hideouts. But if all else fails there is always Palestine up for grabs, but at least they will be with their Jewish brethren.

Israeli author Shlomo Sand in 2009 wrote the book The Invention of the Jewish People which I highly recommend. The facts he covers cannot be disputed easily. He was Emeritus at Tel Aviv University, To quote:

"while acknowledging "the affinity between the Jews and the Holy Land," Sand has said that "I don't think the religious affinity to the land gives you historic right." Still, he supports Israel's existence "not because of historic right, but because of the fact that it exists today and any effort to destroy it will bring new tragedies." He explained that he does not call himself a Zionist, but "a post-Zionist and non-Zionist, because the justification of this land is not historical right."

Comparing the Palestinians to children of rape, Sand has said that Israel "raped a population. And not only a population - we destroyed this society, in constructing the Israeli state." He opposes the Law of Return and the right of return. Still, "Israel has to be the state of Israelis. That is the only way  we can continue to live in the Middle East." He argues that before Hitler, Jews were overwhelmingly against Zionism, and the concept of "Eratz Israel" was not about an earthly homeland but about something more spiritual . He also opposes the one-state solution because, while "very popular in leftist circles" it is "not serious" because Israelis, being "one of the most racist societies in the western world," will never accept it. Thus he supports a "two state solution on the borders of '67, taking out most of the settlers. I don't think it will be a big problem." His position on the formation of a national identity extends to Palestinians, who did not in his view, exist as a people before the rise of Zionism.

The simple truth is that Israel cannot maintain its occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank without US aid.

Sanctions

Those nations that support American foreign policy are rewarded with trade deals and foreign aid, but those states that do not are punished with sanctions and threats of military intervention. 

Sanctions are just one step removed from actual warfare. in between the two Gulf Wars 1990-1991 and 2003-2011, Iraq was subjected to twelve years of sanctions that included food and medicines. By the time American forces invaded in 2003, in search of 'weapons of mass destruction', the country was bankrupt, hungry and practically defenceless, but that didn't stop President George W Bush from bombing the civilian population and ordering the killing of President Saddam Hussein. 

A previous American sanctions campaign ended in total war when President FD Roosevelt enforced sanctions against Japan for invading China. Deprived of oil and rubber Japan had no choice but to go to war with America. The resulting Pacific War ended when President Harry Truman dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

American sanctions against Russia and China are just as dangerous, unless they think that they could win a nuclear war.

Political Prisoners

Michael Woodbridge, Bill Baillie, John Bean, Jez Turner at Newmarket Circa 2015

We like to think that Britain is a land of free speech but our prisons contain a growing number of political prisoners. Veteran nationalist Michael Woodbridge gives support and encouragement to these dissidents through his organisation The Link.

I received the following email from him on 2nd Jan 2024.

Dear Bill

it may interest you to know that I'm proud to be a personal friend of 'Sven' and am due to visit him in HMP Berwyn this coming Thursday. I'm also hoping to visit James Costello, another dissident whose trial I attended and was also found guilty of Speak Crime.

Kind regards, Michael

Nation Revisited # 184 February 2022

The Monarchy

Wnen Barbados became a republic in November 2021 the Queen was replaced as head of state by Sandra Mason, a Barbadian woman. This was accepted in the UK without protest. How different it was in 1957 when Lord Altrincham criticised the monarchy and got his face slapped by Philip Burbidge, a veteran of the First World War, a retired Merchant Navy officer, and an active member of the League of Empire Loyalists.

Philip's fine of one pound was immediately given back to him by a member of the public. Today, he would be treated more harshly for striking a peer and standing up for Britain.

The LEL was absorbed into the National Front in 1967 but their magazine Candour is still published by the AK Chesterton Trust under the editorship of Colin Todd, their website is managed by Rob Black.  www.candour.org.uk 

Most Britons support the monarchy, but I find myself in the same camp as Charles Maurras of Action Francaise. He was an agnostic and a republican but his movement strongly supported the Catholic Church and the monarchy because he thought they were good for France. I have my doubts about the Church of England and the House of Windsor but they are pillars of stability in an ever-changing world.

Unfortunately, the antics of Prince Andrew have tarnished the Royal image. The Queen is still popular but she is 95 years-old and when she dies the future of the dynasty will be in doubt, 

The latest YouGov poll on 8 and 9 March 2021 showed that 63% of those surveyed accross the UK wanted to keep the monarchy, while 25% preferred an elected head of state.

Plus ca Change 

In1974 the UK was in turmoil following the stock market crash of 1973. This resulted in two general elections. In March of that year I listed five objectives in my duplicated newsletter 'Nation'. Forty-eight years later we are going through another economic crisis and I still have the same objectives, except for the point about quitting the United Nations. I now think we need an international forum to disguss global issues such as the refugee crisis, and we should take advantage of our seat on the UN Security Council.

(1) Link all overseas aid (£300 million in 1973, £14.5 billion in 2020) to repatriation. If they want our money they must co-operate with the resettlement of their people.

(2) Tax the really rich. Tax them until it hurts. Tax them into exile. The old Tory lie that we need the super-rich has worn threadbare with the telling. Make them pay through the nose.

(3) Rethink the whole mess of state handouts; Arts Council grants to mediocre theatre companies, the futile Race Relation industry, and improvement grants to millionaire landlords.

(4) Abolish the Civil List. Most Britons support the monarchy, fair enough, but the Royal family are amongst the richest people in the world, must the institution cost us millions a year?

(5) Quit the United Nations and all its bankrupt offshoots. So far, the UN has given Eastern Europe to the Soviets, lost a war in Korea, started a war in the Congo, and run away at the first sign of trouble in the Middle East.

It's no good Ted Heath or Harold Wilson telling the people to tighten their belts while they spend money as fast as they can issue it. Let austerity start at the top, it will filter down soon enough.

Dying For Democracy

(When Eddy Morrison ran the National Front website he occasionally reprinted  articles from Nation Revisited. The following piece wich appeared in 2010 warned of the folly of our intervention in Afghanistan. Now, eleven years later, the Taliban have won and imposed their medieval regime on the whole country. For no good reason we wasted the lives of 456 British servicemen in Afghanistan and suffered hundreds wounded in body and mind).

Politicians of all parties support the Afghan war and accept the slaughter of British and Allied soldiers. As each young man is killed they say: "He died doing the job he loved" and "He was helping to make Afghanistan a better place." But the warmongers cannot convince us that there is any point in this aggression.

Britain's new top general Sir David Richards has predicted that we will be in Afghanistan for thirty or forty years. And NATO's Lieutenant General Stanley McChristal has called for more men.

The general praised the UK's 8,000 plus force and said more would be welcome. He told the BBC, "I don't know a general who would not like to see more troops, particularly forces as good as the British." (Daily Mirror 13/06/09)

We can therefore expect to sustain heavy losses in a war that we will eventually quit just as we did in Iraq. But before we pull out we will kill thousands of Afghans and risk bloody retaliation on the streets of our major cities. Far from ensuring domestic security we are endangering ourselves by declaring war on Muslims after letting millions of them into our country.

Once again a blinkered government has gone to war without a plan. They imported cheap labour and created alien ghettos without thinking of the consequences. Their foreign policy consists of following America and their economic policy is tied to 'free markets' and 'open borders'.

City Minister Lord Myners and London Mayor Boris Johnson have attacked EU plans to outlaw hedge funds (Guardian 21/07/09). And Home Sectetary Alan Johnson says that he doesn't lay awake at night worrying about the population hitting 70 million (Daily Mail 16/07/09).

We are fighting to impose our failed system on a country that has never done us any harm. The 9/11 terrorists were not Afghans, they were Arabs who trained and plotted in the United States. We are waging war to prop up Hamid Karzai's corrupt regime of misogynists, warlords and drug dealers who are no better than the Taliban. This war is as pointless as the Iraqi catastrophe and it will end in the same humiliating withdrawal.

To All Friends of Willis Carto - Elizabeth Carto

Attacked daily by most of the mainstream media, it is no wonder that ,millions of patriotic Americans stick to their guns so to speak, and refuse to kneel and beg forgiveness for being born white.  The word racist has been applied to anyone who does not walk or riot with Antifa or BLM. This has actually brought out more courageous voters to take a stand as the recent election in Virginia proves. Parents objecting to the teaching of the Critical Race Theories by left wing school boards were threatened  with FBI investigations, The source of all the trouble can be placed on the Teacher's Union left wing activists. 

Although still somewhat quietly, the average American is finally waking up to the  subversive movements in our school system from first graders to college students as it was planned and executed since the 1960s.

When President Trump was cheated out of his second term in office, that outrage alerted many citizens to the fact that subversive elements were taking over not only this last election but planned the same for the future. It is so easy to do with computer manipulations among other things. However, the left will now find more opposition than anticipated in most states, even with all the media control and their lies the Internet cannot  be completely silenced,

Willis Carto spent 60 years of his life fighting subversion. He published hundreds of books and periodicals . Many authors relied on him to have their books published at all. Book censorship never ceased, this is evident today.

Please read the words from Willis's introduction to Imperium by Francis Parker Yockey:

I believe that the Western world can survive. It all hinges on faith, faith in our future, faith in our superiority and survival. Skepicism, sophistication, cosmopolitanism, cynicism have destroyed the old faith and it has not been replaced by a new one. But faith is and always will remain the essential ingredient in every historical force, Only a unifying faith can provide the common motivation for survival - the just and deep conviction of our right to live and spark the single-minded and intolerant power which can clean and redeem our fast-decaying, rotting milieu. Very simple: the imperative of inspiring that faith is the central problem of our time. November 1962

In the September 1964 issue of Western Destiny, Willis reprinted a letter written to Lyndon Johnson written by Carlton Putnam, the founder of Delta Airlines. He was a New York native, a graduate of Princeton and Columbia universities. The subject was school desegregation. He had written the book Race and Reason, a Yankee View, which became a bestseller at the time.

Quoting from the letter to Johnson:

Throughout the world, in our foreign policy as well as such matters as the Supreme Court's decision of 1954 and the current Civil Rights Bill, we are dealing with a problem in which it is essential to realize that genetic racial differences due to evolutionary grade will not be changed by changing environments, and that instead of the average Negro's nature and performance being the result of the White man's prejudices, the White man's prejudices are the result of the average Negro's nature and performance. The evidence is overwhelming.

We Are Still British

When I was a lad I had a paper round. I would report to the newsagent early in the morning, and while I was waiting for him to pack my bag of newspapers a constant stream of men would come in on their way to work. Each man would buy a newspaper, usually the Daily Mirror or the Daily Express, and he would buy cigarettes, or tobacco, and a box of matches. Today, few people buy newspapers, they get their news online, few of them still smoke, and we don't make matches anymore.

In those days most men had served in the armed forces and were used to discipline. Working men wore work clothes and overalls during the week but at weekends they would polish their shoes and dress up in a suit and tie just to go to the pub on the corner.

Women wore headscarves and always carried a shopping bag. They spent hours queuing at the local shops for rationed food because there were no supermarkets and very few refrigerators. 

Fruit was unobtainable except for apples and pears, and when the first bananas were imported we didn't know how to eat them. For some unknown reason we had pomegranates from Palestine, which contained thousands of seeds that we kids used to spit at each other.

There were a few West Indians driving buses or working in hospitals but the mass migration from the Commonwealth had only just started. Most British people today boast of their tolerance and lack of prejudice but that was not the case years ago when all foreigners were resented. Those were the days when we used to touch black people for luck, and some boarding houses displayed signs saying "No Blacks, No Dogs and No Irish."

We had one black boy at my school, a lad from British Guiana who grew up to be a TV star. In those days he was regarded as an exotic curiosity, but today that same school is overwhelmingly black.

The local Roman Catholic school was in the same position but now there are plenty of white children from the Polish and Portuguese communities.

There have been so many changes. People make me laugh when they talk about "getting our country back." The country that I knew has gone forever, but I like to think that we are still the same people that conquered half the world. We no longer have eight halfcrowns to the pound, or eight pints to the gallon but such things are unimportant, we still have our fighting spirit and sense of duty. 

We are going through a period of self-inflicted suffering. We have elected a government of crooks and liars, but nothing lasts forever and we will eventually emerge from the chaos of Brexit. Our racial make up has changed, along with our currency and weights and measures, but we are still British.

The UK is 14% non-white and 86% white. We are a Christian country, if only nominally, Muslims are only two percent of our population and the Jews are only one percent. Politicians are overstating their arguments. Black Lives Matter should stop feeling sorry for themselves, and the far-right should heed the words of a prayer with which I am familiar: "God give us the grace to change those things we can change, to acceot those things that we cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference."

Mass migration is bad for the receiving country because it holds down wages, and it's bad for the sending country because it robs them of valuable workers, but if we stop now and bring in sensible immigration controls we can still build a better Britain. 

Michael Woodbridge writes:

Dear Bill, Thanks once again for your ever thought-provoking Nation Revisited. We live in very interesting times. But, because of this, very dangerous times.

You mention National Action as a "dangerous" organisation but a man of your experience will no doubt understand that the danger lies not through its alleged threat to the government but to its own adherents who have become used as scapegoats by a ruthless establishment.

I've involved myself with several ex-National Action activists by attending their trials and am astonished how they've been alloted long prison sentences for nothing worse than Thought Crime. You may have seen my article about Oliver Bel in Heritage and Destiny? The latest outrage is the 8-year prison sentence passed on Ben Raymond, a young man with a one-year-old daughter.

The conclusion I've reached is that, whatever reservations you or I may have about the presentation or veracity of their National Action ideology, National Action were absolutely right to challenge the status quo, because by doing so they've further exposed our despicably corrupt establishment.
