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 # 179 September 2021

Lambeth's Shame 

An independent inquiry is investigating three decades of child abuse in Lambeth Childrens' Homes. The lunatic-left council of Red Ted Knight that was in power for much of this time was accused of fraud and corruption but this is the first time that this particular horror has been uncovered. The inquiry lists more than 700 offences involving mostly black children. The offences were committed against a background of chaos while the Council championed various left-wing causes. Ted Knight was disqualified from being a councillor in 1986 and he died last year. Lambeth Council has been trying to clean up its act in recent years. Its latest report states:

"Fraud and corruption poses a significant risk to Lambeth Council, as is the case with every other large organisation. During the three financial years commencing 1 April 2016, fraud to the value of £10.5 million has been identified by the counter fraud officers in the Council. Whilst this is a significant amount of money, it is accepted that the true figure of loss to fraudulent activity will be much higher. The National Crime Agency estimates the total cost of fraud in the UK to be £190 billion, with the public sector accounting for £40 billion of the losses."

Vic Sarson writes:

I worked for the old London County Council for a brief period sixty years ago and saw how corrupt it was at all levels. Lambeth Council was in character identical to the LCC. In Lambeth, as in Southwark, there are plans to demolish a number of housing estates and disperse residence from their homes and neighbourhoods. There are strong opposition campaigns on the estates but the councillors and the same party responsible for it were re-elected at last election.

People are like sheep. They vote for a party label regardless of who or what is wearing it. Democracy - so called -  is based on the false and absurd premise that ignorance multiplied by X number equals wisdom. A bad system to be sure but one generally preferred to any other. Political parties are just another form of organised gang.

In the 1940s and 50s the Labour and Conservative Parties had huge memberships and could, to an extent, be seen to be representative of the broad mass of the population, but today they are a mere shadow of what they were. And so it is that a tiny and unrepresentative minority now dominates the politics of the country. They set the political agenda in accordance with their own desires and prejudices. The desires and real agenda, and interest, of the people are ignored. By definition none of this is democratic.

Today, much of the Tory Party are spivs (men typically characterized by flashy dress, who make a living by disreputable dealings) especially those on the front bench. The Labour Party despises ordinary working people as if they were dirt beneath their shoes. The Liberal-Democrats are all things to all men, usually combining the worst elements of the other two. 

A political party after all is the embodiment of prejudice - and nothing more!

The Link

Many of the young men in prison for political offences deserve to be locked up for promoting violence against minorities and politicians they disagree with. Our respect for the British Justice is diminished by show trials such as that of Oliver Bel. They were determined to get Oliver because he is not your average skinhead nationalist. He is a Cambridge graduate in maths and physics who questioned the Holocaust. He was also found to be in possession of a book called 'The Anarchist Cookbook' which is sold by Amazon. For these 'crimes' he is now serving what amounts to a four year sentence. 

There is a world of difference between violent hooligans and respectable students like Oliver Bel. The various nationalist groups have not done enough to warn young people of the dangers of breaking the law. The National Front is trying to address the problem. Here is their report on the 2019 National Front AGM:

"Former NF chairman and former MEP Andrew Brons, as guest speaker, cautioned us that the Establishment in its desperation to hold on to its illegitimate power will get increasingly vicious. Andrew said  it is our duty to maintain our racial-nationalist principles: never to sell out to civic-multi-racial-nationalism, but equally never to break the law; but to tread carefully the narrow patriotic path, ignoring the blandishments and the traps of criminally intended agent provocateurs. Always keep it legal was Andrew's much appreciated contribution to our AGM." 

Michael Woodbridge (pictured) runs 'The Link' which campaigns for political prisoners. In the July-August edition of the nationalist magazine 'Heritage and Destiny' he wrote:

"Nowadays it's occasionally argued that young hot-headed racial-nationalists bring their cause into disrepute by providing the globalist nexus with what Sir Oswald Mosley once described as a living caricature of our movement. However, it is to be hoped that the sheer iniquity of the Oliver Bel trial and his continued torment will expose to all and sundry where the real moral weakness in our society lies."

Jews in the Third Reich

Since I was accused of naivety for accepting the Holocaust I have looked into the subject of the Jews in Germany during WW2. There is no doubt that they were persecuted by the Nazis, starting with Crystal Night in 1938, nevertheless many of them fought for the Fatherland. Cambridge University researcher Bryan Rigg, in his book 'Hitler's Jewish Soldiers' (available from Amazon), claims that up to 150,000 Jews served in the armed forces of the Third Reich, including two Field Marshals. 

Erich von Manstein was one of Hitler's favourite generals. He was raised by Prussian aristocrats but his biological father was Eduard von Lewinski who was probably of Jewish ancestry, according to the respected historian Antony Beevor.

Erhard Milch was a Luftwaffe Field Marshall. His father was a Jewish pharmacist called Anton Milch. The SS investigated both generals but their reports were never published. Herman Goering intervened in the case of Milch by declaring that he would decide who was a Jew and who was an Aryan.

While Erich von Manstein directed operations on the Russian Front and Erhard Milch was trying to bomb Britain into submission, the Jewish Hospital in Berlin functioned normally. The 'Jewish News' reported 13th December 2020:

"In 1945 the Russians entered the city, when they opened the doors of the Jewish Hospital in Berlin, they were shocked to find 800 Jews who had survived the Holocaust within the walls of the hospital. How was it possible? The hospital was the only Jewish organisation to operate during the Nazi period. Why?"

Adolf Hitler must have known about about the heritage of his generals and the existence of the Jewish Hospital in Berlin. A lifetime after the Second World War we think we know all about it, but some questions remain unanswered.

A few years ago Ken Livingstone, then a prominent Labour politician, got himself into trouble by pointing out that Ze'ev Jabotinsky (pictured), a Zionist leader, held talks with the Nazis on Jewish emigration to Palestine. This might seem strange but both parties wanted to get the Jews out of Europe. How different things might have been if their talks had been successful.

Labour Shortage

We are short of truck drivers, nurses, policemen, fruit pickers and construction workers. The Brexiteers refuse to believe that we need workers from mainland Europe. They argue that we could fill these vacancies by paying higher wages. But farmers can't pay more for pickers without pricing themselves out of the market, and the same goes for all the other  jobs. Thousands of workers from the EU have gone home since Brexit, but the underlying cause of our labour shortages is our declining birth rate. Since 1950 our birth rate has dropped dramatically. If we want to avoid immigration we must have more babies and an educational system to train the truck drivers, nurses and doctors of the future.

The birth rate has dropped all over the West because women use contraception in order to pursue careers. The government should halt this trend by providing tax breaks, cheap mortgages, and nursery facilities to encourage them to have children. Such measures have already been introduced in Russia and Hungary.

The UK has relied on imported labour for many years. We hired Irish labourers to build the canals and the railways that made the Industrial Revolution possible; we brought in West Indians to drive London's buses in the Fifties; we welcomed the Asians from East Africa in the Seventies, especially the doctors; and we couldn't get enough Poles in the last twenty years. I worked with them in the Construction Industry and I found them to be conservative, religious, and hard working.

The Tory answer is to encourage mass migration from Asia and Africa. Boris Johnson and his gang of piratical free traders have already had talks with Third World leaders in the hope of getting trade deals in exchange for their workers.

How ironic that immigration was one of the driving forces behind Brexit. Nigel Farage was upset to hear people speaking Polish on a commuter train, but he is presumably happy to hear his fellow passengers speaking Yoruba, Hindi or Cantonese.

The damage done to the British economy by our Brexit-supporting  newspapers is starting to be felt. The Guardian, The Mirror, and The Financial Times, which have small circulations, supported our membership of the EU, but the mass circulation Tory papers, particularly The Daily Mail and The Sun, used mendacious propaganda to achieve their 2% winning margin in the referendum. The false threat of 70 million Turkish immigrants was just one of their lurid fantasies. 

To overcome our labour shortage we will have to breed a new generation of home-grown workers, and invest in automation, but for the present we must rely on immigration. We must therefore decide what sort of immigrants we want. We can either choose Europeans who share our race and culture, or Asians and Africans. This is not what people expected when they voted to 'get our country back'.

Afghanistan

Nation Revisited # 3, February 2006 predicted that the Allied invasion of Afghanistan would be a disaster:

"The Americans cheered when Taliban Mujahideen lynched President Najibullah in Aryana Square in Kabul in 1996. Washington saw the Taliban as good anti-communists and friends of the West. They backed them with arms and training just as they backed Saddam Hussein against the Iranian revolutionaries. Now Britain is sending thousands more troops to Afghanistan to help fight a civil war that has cost over 1,600 lives in the past year. The American-installed regime of Hamid Karzai has proven its capitalist credentials by doubling opium production and flooding Britain with drugs. This has turned into another American foreign policy disaster."

We should have learned from history. The three British-Afghan Wars of 1849, 1880 and 1919 ultimately ended in Afghan independence. Rudyard Kipling wrote:

"When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, and the women come out to cut off what remains, just roll on your rifle and blow out your brains, and go to your God like a soldier." 

The Russians did no better. They occupied Afghanistan from 1979 until 1989 but their costly adventure helped to bring down the Soviet Union.

America and her NATO allies invaded Afghanistan to oust the Taliban regime sheltering Osama Bin Laden, the leader of the al-Qaeda terrorists held responsible for the 9/11 attacks. He was eventually killed by US Navy Seals in neighbouring Pakistan in 2011.

We have now pulled out of Afghanistan and the Taliban have taken over. We lost thousands of soldiers and spent billions of dollars trying to make the Afghan National Army into an efficient fighting force, only to see it surrender to the Taliban. The ANA were understandardly reluctant to fight for a totally corrupt regime after President Ashraf Ghani fled the country in a helicopter stuffed with banknotes.

Britain intervened in the Middle East and we also took part in the NATO offensive against Yugoslavia in 1989, but that was a European problem and therefore within our remit. Since our foreign policy follows the United States we can only hope that Washington has learned its lesson. Osama Bin Laden's assassination in Pakistan could have been achieved without an invasion of Afghanistan.
