<span style="font-size: medium;">Transgender
rights have recently come to the fore as a social issue, and yet
there are many who feel that this is being pushed to far and too
fast. </span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Claire Rae Randall is a transsexual woman who transitioned over
thirty years ago and is deeply concerned about both the
deconstruction of the traditional understanding of gender, the
normalisation of non binary as a model for our society, and the early
medical treatment of children which is currently occurring.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> Can this
have a happy ending?</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Claire
Rae Randall’s ‘The War on Gender’ examines the progress of
trans from a personal perspective that has seen it come from being a
marginal issue to one that is now having a disproportionate influence
on social values.</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dear Sally Cookson,</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I
wish to write to you about the current production of CS Lewis’s
classic <i>The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.</i></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It
was in many ways beautifully realised, Aslan and Jadis being both
extremely well represented.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">However
I was most disappointed to find that you had used the play for a
crude piece of social indoctrination. I might not have found it so
disappointing if I had not already seen exactly the same thing done
at another classic tale of the post-War era earlier this year when I
saw the Who’s rock opera <i>Tommy</i> at the Playhouse.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As
you know, of course, the <i>LWW</i> was written by CS Lewis during
the 1940s and published in 1950. The story is set during the
evacuation of children from London. I will pass over the
presentation of the children having Yorkshire (or what sounded more
like Lancashire a lot of the time) accents coming from London, and
the Professor’s house being set in Scotland (for which there is no
evidence in the book) since these are minor embellishments that don’t
affect the story.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">However,
the choice of casting of the children was clearly influenced, even
should I say determined, by political considerations.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There
have been several television, film and theatre productions of the <i>LWW</i>
that I am aware of over the years, and all have presented the
principle characters (the four children) as they were depicted in the
book. And that depiction is of four English children of the era. The original illustrations by Pauline Baynes, which have been retained in all editions to my knowledge portray the children as English.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And
yet in this production they were not four English children. Three of
them were Afro-Caribbean, which is something of an anachronism, since
there were no Afro-Caribbeans in London at the time, or if there
were, there weren’t many, and given the ages of the children, about
eight to fourteen, they must have been born in the early 1930s at the
latest. The evidence for there being significant numbers of mixed
race West Indians in the evacuation is surely slim, and so we should
ask on what rationale this casting decision was made?</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There
are several unspoken messages here which I believe should be
unpacked.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Firstly,
this is clearly a story which is intended to appeal to children, and
there were a large number of children in the audience. They cannot
be expected to know that this is a non factual representation of the
children as being of West Indian or mixed race ancestry, since there
were few if any of that demographic in the evacuees, so they will be
mislead into a false representation of the War years.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Doubtless
by now you are saying ‘Why should it matter?’</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The
reason it matters is because it was clearly a politically motivated
choice. It was clearly a political decision to deviate from an
accurate representation of the actual characters that CS Lewis wrote, and indeed an accurate representation of England in 1940.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Any
significant rewriting needs to be deconstructed and critiqued. Interestingly one reviewer said “this
is a daring adaptation which sets itself a number of challenges and
finds creative and theatrically magical solutions to all of them”<i>
(British Theatre Guide)</i>
and one is left wondering if some of these 'challenges' referred to here were
the multicultural rewriting of history to make it more 'inclusive'
whilst writing out the actual participants.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The
days of Olivier or Welles being criticised for blacking up to play a
part are long past, and besides, their roles were intended to portray
actual Black people in an era when suitable Black actors were scarce.
These children were clearly not intended to be playing White people,
or were they? In which case what would be the difference from White
people playing Black? It seems to me that you have got yourself into
a tangle of post modern deconstructions which cannot be congruently
sustained through the implications of their<span style="text-indent: 1.27cm;"> contextual referents.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I
should interject at this point that should a West Indian theatre
group choose to do a version of the <i>LWW</i> with all black actors,
I would have nothing to say, since the context would be clear. If
Nigerians want to make a production of it in Nigeria, by all means
let them.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The
wolf Maugrim played by
<strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Ira
Mandela Siobhan was not problematic in the way that the three
children were because anyone can play the part of the wolf.</span></strong></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But it is the clearly
political decision to misrepresent English children of the 1940s as
being of West Indian or mixed race heritage in a popular mainstream
version at a major theatre, with an audience that was overwhelmingly
White that needs to be critiqued.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This
is exactly what happened with the production of <i>Tommy</i> that I
saw earlier this year.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tommy’s
mother was played by a West Indian woman, and thus Tommy himself was
played by an actor of mixed race. One might say that if the
ethnicity of the actors is irrelevant, then why was it necessary to
have the son of the union of an English pilot and a West Indian woman
to be obviously congruent with that union and played by someone of
mixed race? This was not in Pete Townsend’s libretto, so why was
this done? An entirely new narrative was being introduced, something about race which had no place in the original was being overwritten for propaganda purposes.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A
further subliminal that was included in your performance was the
casting of the eldest boy, Peter, by a White boy, while the rest were
West Indian or mixed heritage. So the implication here is that the
parents separated after their first child and one of them had three
more children by a West Indian. Regardless of race or ethnicity,
divorce was extremely rare in the 1930s, and remarriage by an English
person to a West Indian was surely unheard of. To seek to rewrite
the possibilities of history in this way because British society in
1940 was ‘racist’ is dishonest. This is a modern interpretation
of a situation which was entirely different from the present world in which we find ourselves. I think there would be outrage
if you suggested that Lewis was a <i>racist</i>. There were few more
moral men of that generation that he. And I don’t believe he would
object to an entirely Afro-Caribbean reading of his story, because it
would be clear that that is what it was. Although they would have a
different mythic ancestral relation to long winters than the Northern peoples.
(Lewis was preoccupied by what he called ‘Northernness’.) But I
feel sure that he would have seen through your crude attempt at
social engineering which seeks to turn his story to ends for which it
was never intended, the deconstruction and displacement of the English people.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These
are not how CS Lewis or Pete Townsend envisioned their stories, which
were rather set in very English contexts and so we must ask the
motivation for these changes?</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When
we have got past the deflection of ‘Why should it matter?’ it
will be grudgingly admitted that this is because these productions
are designed to be ‘inclusive’ or some such justification.
Perhaps that we, as people of traditional English ancestry, should
move over and make room for the ‘new British’.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But
these, perhaps well motivated, intentions do not come without a
price.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The
displacement of English children from their story, and the
misrepresentation of the historical context are facts which we should
not ignore. This predictable trope has now become <i>de rigueur</i> in theatre and
television these days. A queen of France from the fourteen century
was recently played by an African woman in a BBC historical drama,
which received quite a lot of criticism for its historical
inaccuracy, and to my own complaint they replied that there this was
a casting decision based on the available suitable actors, an
explanation somewhat lacking in credibility.
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The
anti white racism of the BBC was also recently demonstrated in their
advertising for an internship from which White people were excluded
from applying for.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It
seems that at every turn White English people are to be displaced,
not only from the present, but even from our own past. It has become quite the fashion with the liberal elite who seek to virtue signal that they have abandoned their people.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You
may not know that Orwell’s 1984 was inspired as a response to CS
Lewis’s <i>That Hideous Strength</i>, a book in which he
demonstrates the insidious influence of Marxist ideology on education
and society.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Orwell
in his turn wrote in 1984 “Who
controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present
controls the past.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So
what you are engaged in is exactly what Orwell himself described.
You are rewriting the past in order to control the future.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If
T’chaka Zulu and members of his tribe were represented by White
actors in a theatre or screen production, I think there would
probably be outrage, and quite rightly. The cultural appropriation
of iconic figures from the past of any group by another if done
without a suitable degree of acknowledgement of how it is being
presented is indeed outrageous.
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If
Black historical and literary figures should be played properly in
context, then why can’t White historical and literary figures be
correctly portrayed too?</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yes,
I know you want to make it accessible to other groups than those
‘privileged’ White people, but the vast majority of the audience,
at least at the performance I attended last Saturday, were White.
Thus the impact that will have been made was one in which the
cultural and historical heritage of our people has been appropriated
by you and given to another group. You cannot expect all the parents
to explain to all the children that there were no West Indian
children in the evacuation, the children will just see it and
construct in their minds the idea that West Indian and people of
mixed heritage were a part of the world of evacuees and of our society then, which they
have not.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I
have no animosity towards the three children whom you exploitatively
used for this, they doubtless have no understanding of what you were
doing, and may even have been indoctrinated themselves into believing
that there were West Indian children in the evacuation.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Taking
this in context with the production of <i>Tommy</i> I can only
describe the casting decision made to include these children as an
entirely predictable cookie cutter exercise mandated for the
deconstruction ~ and the <i>destruction</i>
~ of our society.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It
now seems that it is no longer acceptable to portray English people
by, well, English people. The influence of cultural Marxism in which
every past assumption of our society has to be mixed up and
overturned has now become so pervasive that you probably don’t even
realise that you are doing it. You just know that you cannot have a
cast in which all the White characters are played by White actors.
White people can no longer be permitted to occupy the cultural space
which our ancestors actually created for us, their posterity.
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">

</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">An
immensely successful and influential cultural myth which is a
conflation of the Norse, Graeco-Roman and Christian influences that
made European civilisation cannot be allowed to stand in its
appropriate context with the people to whom these mythologies belong,
is the message we are to be given. The four Kings and Queens of
Narnia who were always English (their surname is Pevensie, after a
place in Sussex) and ruled over Narnia, which is a mythic version of
a magical England, are now to be people of a mixed heritage, and the
traditional owners of this mythology, our people, are to be
displaced.
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">

</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We
hear repeatedly these days the absurd lie that White people, the
English in particular, have ‘no culture’, a suggestion that CS
Lewis would have contested vigorously.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">However,
we will certainly have none left before long if we allow it to be
culturally appropriated from us in this way.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I
will leave you with a reference to the Kalergi plan. Count Richard
Coudenhove-Kalergi was a European aristocrat from the first part of
the twentieth century who is considered the ‘spiritual father’ of
the EU. He wrote that he envisioned a future in which the European
peoples ceased to be identifiable and became mixed with African and
Asian peoples.
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The
man of the future will be of mixed race. The races and classes of
today will gradually disappear due to the elimination of space, time,
and prejudice. The Eurasian-negroid race of the future, similar in
appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the current
diversity of peoples and the diversity of individuals.</i>
(Practical Idealism, 1925)</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We
should recognise that even if this insane plan is achieved, the Black
peoples of Africa, and the Han people of China are so numerous in
their own lands that such a plan would have little impact on their
demographics, it is only Europeans who would be blended out, because
we are a relatively small population which is receiving a massive
influx of foreign peoples at this time.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.27cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So
the social indoctrination in which you are participating is actually
one of the early stages of the genocide of the European peoples, by
seeking to socially program our children into having no ownership of
their past, to not even know what that past was, that their ancestors
built and occupied this land for thousands of years before West
Indians came here, but rather to culturally appropriate our heritage and give it
to others so that we have nothing and become no-one.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have been a reader of CS Lewis since I was
introduced to them by my headmistress who read them to us at my boarding school
on Sunday evenings before bedtime. It
is one of my fondest memories.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Of
course at the time of I didn’t understand the allegorical significance of Aslan
or the deeper meanings intended, but came back to the stories time and again,
always finding new levels of meaning in them as I grew older.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Lewis
was a convinced Christian, a conversion he reached in the years around 1930,
partly influenced by JRR Tolkien, himself a devout Roman Catholic all his life
since a child. This was to come out a
great deal more obviously in his works than in those of Tolkien, although both
took it as a foundation of meaning in their sub-created worlds.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As
I have grown older, and especially in more recent times when I have read and
studied their writings in more depth, I have come to understand the historic
archetypal forces which they describe in terms of the real world.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Tolkien
said that he wanted to compose a mythology for the English, since so much had
been lost after the Norman invasion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This
mythology would have to have some parallels or symbolic relations with the real
world or else it wouldn’t stick.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">His
Middle Earth is quite clearly a representation of European peoples defending
against barbarian invasion by hordes from the East. This is a dynamic which Europe has experienced time and again
with Attila, the Mongols, the Ottomans, even the USSR, although that had not spread
its Iron Curtain across the continent at the time when Tolkien was conceiving
Lord of the Rings.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We
all know the literary forebears of Middle Earth ~ Beowulf, the Icelandic sagas,
Finnish and Celtic influences, but scholars will shy away from the more
difficult threads. Who are the Orcs?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It
seems to me to be dishonest to suggest that the geographical location of Mordor
and the Orcs do not in some way correlate with Turkey, or the Middle East, or
its inhabitants.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The
Shire is the safety of northwestern Europe, Gondor is some version of Rome or
Constantinople which stands as a bulwark against the barbarian hordes of the
East. Do we really need to argue
this? Are people so politically correct
in their pretence that they cannot see the obvious correlations with the
geopolitical world of, not only the past, but the present as well? I recently found that the term 'orc' means 'foreigner, monster or demon'. Perhaps our forebears made no great distinction between these things.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://pcnewspeak.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/tolkien-and-islam.html" target="_blank">My previous blog post about Tolkien and Islam</a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">[May
I briefly interject here that it is my opinion, having recently read John
Buchan’s superb <i>Greenmantle</i> that there is a literary root of the LOTR in
that novel. The journey across country
to reach the great river Danube, going down it in a line of boats and reaching
the great city of Constantinople (Minas Tirith in Gondor surely). But the real bullseye was the nine riders
who appear at one point, and there are others.
But I digress.]</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It
is my conviction that both Lewis and Tolkien knew that there were great threats
to our civilisation, and that a decline of faith into agnosticism would lead to
a vacuum which could be taken advantage of.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">CS
Lewis had a much more unconventional theological evolution than Tolkien and in
the twenties had dabbled in theosophical and other ideas. One of his closest friends, Charles
Williams, is reputed to have been a member of the Order of the Golden Dawn. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There
is much written amongst certain groups about how Tolkien and Lewis were
occultists who sought to infiltrate the Church with their heresies. On the other hand, Marxists claim that they
were racist nationalists and xenophobes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I’m
inclined to go with a middle way and accept that Lewis was probably the most
influential and widely read Christian writer in English of the twentieth
century, and Tolkien was probably the greatest scholar and writer in English of
the century. Whilst the modern cultural
left approach them warily, recognising that they form a part of a serious
backbone of English literary, religious and cultural national identity which
persists to this day, they still take sidelong swipes at them whenever they can
find, or invent, an opportunity.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Philip
Pullman’s claim that Lewis exercises racist attitudes in <i>The Last Battle</i>
for instance has been roundly dispelled, so I shan’t bother to detail that
here, but it is that work, the final one in the Narnian Chronicles which I wish
to address here.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It
occurred to me this Good Friday just gone that there were certain parallels
with the actual situation in which we find ourselves at this very time, so I
embarked on a quick read of said book (at 165 pages it can be polished off in
three or four hours) and found much to feed my curiosity.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The
principal idea which had sparked this train of thought was that Tash, the god
of the Calormenes had a head like a vulture.
The meaning of this suggests that the god only eats dead flesh. Thus the followers of Tash are in themselves
spiritually dead. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Whilst
Aslan is a lion. Lion only seek living
prey. The meaning of this then is that
the followers of Aslan are spiritually alive, they are vital and thus have the
Holy Spirit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Tash
is the principle god of the Calormenes.
They do have some others, Azaroth and Zardeenah, but these seem like
minor household deities while the ruling class of the Tisroc and his Tarkaans
all claim descent from Tash.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It
seems unavoidable to see some conflation between Islam and the worship of Tash, illustrated here by Pauline Baynes from <i>The Last Battle</i>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">On
the superficial level, the Calormenes appear similar to Turkish Ottomans or
nearby Middle Eastern people. In itself
only a casual association, but there is much more to flesh this out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> The descent from Tash is reminiscent of the descent
from Mahomet which the leaders of the two main branches of Islam claim. And their society based on the worship of
this creature which only seeks the spiritually dead is one which seems to be
built on top down domination by the sword, not the high trust co-operation of
the Narnians.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But
we also find that there have been numerous wars between the Calormenes and
Narnia and Archenland, its southern neighbour.
Which we cannot ignore is what has happened to Europe at the hands of
the Turks numerous times over the centuries, as well as other incursions into
Iberia and the Italian peninsula. It is
hard to be certain, as Lewis is frequently almost deliberately vague about
dates and how often, but it seems clear that there have been numerous wars with
Calormen, mostly instigated by the Calormene desire to take these free northern
countries under its rule. Also
reminiscent of the constant pressure of the East on Gondor, if I may say ˡ.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The
image of Tashbaan in Pauline Baynes’ charming illustrations in <i>The Horse and
His Boy </i>clearly shows minarets in the Islamic style around what must be the
Temple of Tash at the top and centre of the city, and to me is highly evocative
of Istanbul, Constantinople as it was known for about 1600 years, while the
very name of their lordly class <i>Tarkaans</i> sounds like a conflation of <i>Turk</i>
and <i>khan</i>, a common name or ending in Islamic lands deriving from the
Indo-European root word meaning <i>king</i>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The
language of the Calormenes is rich with the kind of sayings we associate with
Islam and middle eastern potentates ~ <i>May he live forever</i> is reminiscent
of the saying <i>Peace be upon him</i>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We
get into more detail with <i>The Last Battle</i> in which Calormenes have been
infiltrating Narnia in twos and threes pretending to be merchants and
diplomats. Meanwhile they are
assembling a military force at the very heart of Narnia while at the same time
dominating the local Narnians.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And
here we come to the crunch. The
Narnians are all saying that this is what Aslan has been instructing. Indeed as the story progresses Tash and
Aslan are quickly conflated into a ‘We Are All One’ scenario and the noble
Talking Beasts of Narnia are to be caged up while the Speaking Trees are to be
cut down and a more productive state of affairs is to be imposed. (I love Lewis’s dig at communism!)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To
my eyes, what we are seeing here is an almost literal account of what is
actually happening today. We hear that
the God of Jesus and that of Mahomet are one and the same, although their
commandments and their practices are entirely different. We are told to invite them into our lands,
and yet meanwhile they build up covert forces in enclaves which have already
struck against us. Mollenbeek is an
obvious example.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What
has been described by Dr Kevin McDonald as ‘pathological altruism’ leaves the
Narnians vulnerable to foreign incursion because they trust the Calormenes at
face value. This is the vulnerable
downside of the living spirit which the enemies exploit. Many of the Talking Beasts are too timid to
fight on the side of right and their own people, slinking off into the woods,
or are cowed by the threat of Calormene punishment. Is this not what we see in the face of Islamic rape gangs? People too afraid to speak up?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Did
Lewis realise what he was writing, or was he just using a convenient stereotype
to get over a story?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The
images in the works of CS Lewis were spontaneous creations of his imagination
which tended to jump fully formed into consciousness, but he did not string
them all together until he had understood them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">He
was a literary historian. He knew the
story of the Crusades and the endless attrition of the Moors and the Ottomans
on Christendom. It is no coincidence
that the God of the Calormenes is shaped like a vulture and has robes like an
Aztec priest. He knew that Islam was
the ancient enemy which lurked on the borders of our entire historic awareness
like a bogey man in a fairy story and so he represented it as such. The more important story is of the children
and the King and how they behaved with honour and loyalty, while we see that
the Ape (whom I imagine as Tony Blair, the chief traitor of our nation) who has
contrived this but also been the puppet of larger forces is gobbled up by the
demon god.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What
is it to be <i>spiritually dead</i>? It
is to wish to build your own life force on the domination of others, of taking
their life energy from them, to have no conception of spiritual creativity
yourself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Islam
promotes the idea to men that women are mere <i>chattel</i>, whilst
Christianity (and some other faiths and creeds as well) believes in the concept
of Romantic love, something Lewis himself wrote on extensively in several
books. It is a higher level of
spiritual development engaged with a sense of humility before the divine, but
also of generosity and forgiveness absent in the <i>Religion of the Sword.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Some
of the more politically correct of Lewis’s readers just dismiss <i>The Last
Battle</i> as if it were some aberration.
Lewis getting senile, run out of ideas, returning to a second childhood,
turning into some right wing bigot, racist, xenophobe. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One
thing I tremendously admire about Jack was his almost reckless disregard for
social convention when it came to facing the truth. And consequently I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that the
Islamic references in his final Narnian story are entirely intended.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">While
I am at it, may I briefly add that the speculation that some make that Lewis
was running out of ideas and wanted to kill the Narnia series have entirely got
it wrong. Michael Ward in his excellent
<i>Planet Narnia</i> demonstrates, to my full and complete satisfaction, that
there was an underlying pattern behind the books of which he never explicitly
spoke but which is clear nonetheless to those with eyes to see. And I think many would agree that if Lewis
had run out of ideas he was a sensible enough chap not to try and squeeze
toothpaste out of a tube which had run dry.
It’s also my understanding that the books were not written like some
penny dreadful serial with the publisher asking for the next best seller by a
certain date, but that he had an organised, overarching plan which he evolved
as a whole. The very fact that there
are seven in the Chronicles, the Holy Number, is surely no accident.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Yes,
CS Lewis was very much more into the mystical side, at least in some of his
works, than was his friend Tolkien. And
it’s my belief that he saw this as a genuine possibility which he felt would be
better signalled and preserved in a work of fiction than in some prosaic
political commentary that would be forgotten.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And lastly, I should say that it is my firm
conviction that both Tolkien and Lewis saw the potential re-emergence of Islam
as a danger which lurked always on the horizon. These are two of the finest minds of twentieth century
Christendom and to dismiss that they may have seen this afar off is for lesser
minds to scoff at elders they fail to recognise.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It
can be no coincidence that both of them produced major, mature works which seem
to be themed around the invasion of Europe.
Tolkien at a more mythological level invoking the barbarian hordes of
the East, yet nonetheless with certain Islamic resonances (see my blog Tolkien
and Islam), and Lewis far more explicitly with <i>The Last Battle.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Coming
as they did in the 1950s, in the last wave of traditional Western culture
before the Marxists got their teeth into it, the Narnian Chronicles and the
Lord of the Rings can be seen as great signposts and warnings that have been
left to tell us of the dangers we face, built before the leftist propaganda
destroyed the rest of our culture.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Had
they come later they might not have achieved the stature that they did. Were they to be written today, they would be
ridiculed, attacked as racist, imperialist, xenophobic. We see how <i>The Hobbit</i> films were
infected with political correctness that went entirely against what would have
been true to the story and to Middle Earth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The
works of CS Lewis and Tolkien are edifices which we would do well to value and
learn from. They are voices from the
past crying for us to remember who we are, to stand firm against chaos and
barbarism, the cruel tyranny of Islam and attrition against the truth of our
own spiritual nature and destiny.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">ˡ Gondor: in my recent researches and
deliberation about Middle Earth, I came across a Cultural Marxist ‘analysis’ of
Gondor. It claimed that Gondor was an
invading power which sought to dominate Middle Earth. The writer of this piece (I have lost the link) has clearly not
properly read the history of Numenor as it was the case that only Elendil, his
sons and a few boats filled with survivors of the wreck of Numenor arrived on
the western coast of Middle Earth. This
was hardly an invading force. It was
only by their intelligence and mighty works that they established themselves in
the lands in which they arrived. Where
else should they go? There were already
Elves in the West of Middle Earth who were friendly to them, and that is where
they set up, West of the River, and East of the Sea. They had no other options.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">By
today’s standards they would undoubtedly qualify as refugees, but the Men of
the West did not try to sponge off the local inhabitants, who were accustomed
to a much lower standard of living than the Numenoreans. Instead they set about building a new
civilisation in as close an image to the one they had lost as possible.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 75.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 48.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So
the builders of Gondor and Arnor were far more like entrepreneurs, explorers and inventors
in that they brought trade and artisan skills to the West of Middle Earth, as
well as building alliances of strength with their neighbours such as Rohan
which maintained peace for long periods in the face of chaotic incursions from
the tribes of the East.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> I’m writing this because it is about an issue that
is coming up more and more in the online networks I inhabit and I see a lot of
misunderstanding or just plain ignorance about the subject.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> I’ve done a couple of interviews on YouTube recently
on the subject, to which I have received mostly reasonable responses, but there
have been a couple of ignorant comments which demonstrated that their authors
had not actually listened to the content, and one of them actually admitted
that this was the case.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I also feel
the need to respond to the rant which Henrik Palmgren of Red Ice TV made on
last Saturday night’s live stream about transsexuals. (Weekend Warrior #32
members’ content <a href="http://www.redicemembers.com/">http://www.redicemembers.com/</a>.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Firstly, may I
preface this by saying that I have been a listener to Red Ice Radio for
something like eight years, and not only have I greatly enjoyed an immense
amount of the content which Henrik has presented over the years, but also
tremendously respect the open minded attitude he has taken in his research and
inquiry on subjects which many others fear to approach.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was greatly
honoured when I was invited to appear on Red Ice’s sister channel Radio
3Fourteen by the estimable Lana Lokteff about eighteen months ago and given the
opportunity not only to discuss the ideas behind my book <i>Waking The Monkey</i>
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TmX4zNyKMw" target="_blank">Claire Rae Randall ~ Hundredth Monkey: Cultural Marxism and the New Age (R314)</a>but also, in the second interview to explain my views on the world of
transsexualism and transgender. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuapKYGi710&t=2s" target="_blank">Cultural Marxist Model of Sexuality and Biology of Gender Dysphoria</a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For those of
you who missed that I will briefly summarise that it is my scientific
conclusion based on experimental and other material evidence that while there
may be socialised forms of transgenderism as the proponents of Gender Studies
claim, classic transsexualism develops out of neurological developmental
abnormalities which remain as permanent structural defects within the brain.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">News stories
such as the mother/child ‘transition’ which was featured on <i>Weekend Warrior</i>
are troubling. Any psychologist or
psychotherapist worth their salt must surely consider the possibility of some
kind of collusion or <i>folie-a-deux</i> taking place. Having experienced severe gender dysphoria myself
from the earliest age I have deep reluctance to accept what is called ‘late
onset’ transsexualism. The mother of
this child seems to have been claiming this.
My own view is that if one has not had this sense of being/wanting to be
the opposite sex from the earliest age, and it has not been immovable, then
claims of sudden epiphanies later in life must be regarded with suspicion. Especially if it appears to have been
triggered by the child’s announcement that they want to be the opposite
sex. Who knows what kind of unconscious
mechanisms have been at play here?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So far, I’m probably
on the same page as Henrik, or at least close.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Here, our
paths will diverge I suspect.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This
mother/child story is, I agree, deeply troubling, and probably quite messed up.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But there are
tens of thousands of fully transitioned transsexuals out there invisibly
carrying on their lives without most people knowing about this.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I recently
came across this piece of research by Lynn Conway which suggests that at least
in terms of strong feelings of gender dysphoria the population of people for
whom this is an issue, in the USA at least, could be as high as 1 in 500 or
even more. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<a href="http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/TS/TSprevalence.html"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/TS/TSprevalence.html</span></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">That is a
figure of 0.2% of the population, and similar to other neurological disorders
such as Multiple Sclerosis.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The population
who have had such strong feelings of gender dysphoria seems to have existed for
possibly several millennia, at least as far as evidence can be found, and could
well have existed long into prehistory.
Communities such as the <i>hijra</i> in India, and the <i>kratoey</i> of
South East Asia are well established social niches that have been evolving for
a long time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The individual
instances which we may find questionable, such as the mother/child one
featured, should not be used as a straw man to attempt to eradicate the actual
phenomenon itself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I hear Henrik,
and others on the Right expressing sentiments to the effect of ‘Why do they do
this? Why can’t they just be normal?’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Sadly, we can’t,
and your saying so won’t make it happen.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There are two
ways we can approach this. I can go
into the developmental neurology but it is probably more important to
understand that what is probably triggering Henrik and others on the Right
about this is the way it has been exploited by the left.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I have
explained here, and on the R314 show how I believe that these conditions arise
in neurological development. This is a
testable hypothesis, and there is already evidence such as that I have cited,
Gooren and Zhou’s work in the early 2000s, and my own favourite, Professor VS
Ramachandran’s work on the likelihood that there is some brain mapping
mismatch, which closely corresponds to my own experience.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So, having
established that the phenomenon of severe gender dysphoria does exist, and has
existed for thousands of years with many tens of thousands of people who have
gone to extreme lengths to reduce this dysphoria, and having proposed probable
brain structure mechanisms as to the aetiology of this phenomenon, which I
fully acknowledge is not survival adaptive in the greater scheme of things, I
have presented the material evidence demonstrating our existence and the likely
reasons for it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Where I
believe that Henrik, and others in the New and Alt Right are missing the point
and attacking the wrong target is that this genuine phenomenon, which has
existed for thousands of years and found at least some small niche in some
societies has been hijacked and exploited by the LGBT and SJW crowd to their
own ends.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There are
acknowledged to be several prominent homosexuals in the Alt Right, which has
attracted criticism from some quarters, but doesn’t seem to be a problem for
most. Similarly, I don’t think you will
find any of these homosexual Alt Righters promoting LGBT and SJW agendas or multiple made up genders with accompanying pronouns. As is the case with myself. Richard Spencer himself recently tweeted
that homosexuality is a fact of existence and shouldn’t be a stumbling block.</span><br />

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large; text-indent: 36pt;">I saw a
comment on the Red Ice YouTube channel below my interview with Lana accusing me
of trying to take over the Alt Right with my trans agenda.</span><span style="font-size: large; text-indent: 36pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Puh-leeze. I have no intention or desire to subvert the
Alt Right, and am quite happy to let it evolve in its own way. The only thing I seek to influence is
awareness of this issue so that its energies are not misdirected in the way we
sometimes see. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As I have
pointed out, there is a large population of unnoticed transsexuals out
there. My own experience of this is
that most of these have no wish to ‘deconstruct’ the gender binary, and feel
that it would only make the situation more confusing if it was.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">However, the <i>LGBT
left</i> want to promote <i>transgenderism</i> rather than simply acknowledge
transsexual gender dysphoria as a problem which a <i>very small</i> percentage of the
population experience and find themselves having to deal with.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> What this amounts to is suggesting and promoting the
idea that transgenderism is something that almost anyone can engage in, that it
is perfectly normal. Associated with
this is the notion that ‘gender roles’ as such are an oppressive cultural
construct and that it is good to ‘queer them up’ as the activists say, by doing
this kind of thing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> The sudden emergence of the 38 invented pronouns or
whatever it is and the demonisation of all who refuse to use them (like Dr
Jordan Peterson) alongside all this is clearly a viral cultural psychosis, and
I would liken it to the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution in China in the
late sixties. Eventually it burnt
itself out but after having done terrible damage to the country, its people and
its heritage.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I rather see
the current <i>War on Gender</i>, as I call it, in these terms. It is one theatre of conflict in the great
cultural war which is being waged against Western Civilisation and its people
at present.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is the
target that Henrik and the new right should be focussing on. Yes, point out the ludicrous nature of ‘late
onset transsexuals’, cast doubt on dodgy relationships where weird dynamics are
at work and stick up for the normalisation of the gender binary as the principal basis not only for our society, but for our entire phylogenetic class of
mammals.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But the enemy
is the libertine left who want to parasitise themselves upon a class of
people who, by our nature, seek social invisibility. It is very self contradictory for me to have to engage with this
subject, because I do not gain anything by outing myself as transsexual. I may hope to spread some understanding on
this subject more widely than already exists, but at the same time I find
myself subject to abuse from people who don’t even bother to listen to the
material in my podcasts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The only
substantial thing I can hope to get from this is a redirection of hostilities
away from the 0.2% of the population of whom I am a member, and hope that it
will be aimed at the proponents of <i>Queer Theory</i> and <i>Gender Non-Binary</i>
who are as much, more even, my enemy than that of the person in the street,
because it turns them against us, when it is the <i>Gender Theorists</i> who are the enemy who are
responsible for all the confusion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As I will
describe in my forthcoming book <i>The War on Gender</i>, when, some years ago,
I was considering applying to take a Masters in Gender Studies at Leeds
University (something of a Ground Zero epicentre for the world of Gender
Studies, I discovered) I realised that to do so would involve having to listen
to theories of gender which entirely resisted acknowledging all that I already
knew, and which imposed an interpretation on me with which I did not agree
myself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It seemed
probable to me that I would have been considered something of a catch, possibly
a poster child for the promotion of their fake reality had I pursued that path.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is the
world to which we must direct our critical attentions, not the medical concept
of transsexualism itself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Gender Studies
rejects the application of <i>taxonomy</i> to atypical gender conditions. ‘Late onset’ transsexualism in someone who
is middle aged and a parent is considered just as valid as someone who has had
strong feelings since childhood and transitions successfully in their
twenties. All gender is <i>fluid</i>
and <i>choice</i>, and any firmly fixed position is <i>oppressive</i> in their
world<i>.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The simple
problem is that to the non specialist all this conflates to a point where the
baby is thrown out with the bath water.
All we are left with is political demands from people whose only
interest is to <i>deconstruct</i> society, which is entirely the opposite to
what I and many like me want.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So, I address
this directly to Henrik Palmgren. All I
ask is that you understand that this is a more complex and nuanced subject than
previously it might have seemed. I’m
not <i>Calling you out</i> or trying to raise some big internet flame war. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I love your
material, and I’m really proud to have been on your network, but one of the
things about the Right is that we accept <i>what is</i> and don’t try to impose
solutions because we think that’s how the morality of the world should make it. If the SJW left hadn’t been exploiting this
lately you probably wouldn’t even be aware of it as an issue, because people
like me like to blend in and not be noticed, certainly not wave a flag and say 'Look at me!'.
Which is why it is a pain that I have to do this, because I am sick and
tired of the Gender Studies morons spreading lies about people like me and
trying to destroy society through viral contagion and imitation by weak minded
people.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But I have to
do it because someone has to, and I am in a position where I can laugh at the
critics from the left who might otherwise accuse me of <i>transphobia.</i> I’m sure I will still get that from <i>gender
fluid queers</i> but they are an even smaller minority than my own group, and I
don’t care about them. I had expected
to have to deal with them but of course SJWs tend to ignore things they don’t
like. It grieves me to have to address
this to the Right, but if we can clarify this amongst ourselves, then we will
be stronger against the left.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Brexit Must Mean Brexit!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The current furore created by the globalist shills trying to usurp the mandated will of the people of the UK has caused me to get in touch with my MP, Rachel Reeves, concerning this matter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">She is ostensibly one of those Labour MPs willing to respect our mandate but with so many traitors within their ranks needs to have her feet held to the fire.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I would urge you to also write and speak to your MP about this matter, make them realise the constitutional and moral gravity of what the theft of the will of the majority would mean for the future of our great nation. A future based on dictatorship and tyranny.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Please by all means copy sections or as much as you find helpful in lobbying your MP to do the right thing and accept that we must leave the EU, as mandated.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Here's the email I just wrote.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Dear Ms Reeves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I am writing as a constituent to request to see you at one of your surgeries when that might be available.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I read some of your comments after the Labour Party conference which gave me confidence that you were prepared and willing to support the decision of the people on the Referendum result.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">However, recently, with the legal case which is threatening the implementation of the will of the British people, I have become very concerned that certain interests are seeking to block the largest mandate of the British people ever made.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I wish to explain to you my view that for these interests to manipulate the law to overrule the will of the people, or for Parliament itself to do so would endanger our entire national being and constitutional legitimacy. For such interests to seek to do so is to stand on the brink of the abyss of tyranny, and should they succeed in thwarting Leviathan, the conflict which would be released, both parties knowing that the rightful path had been usurped would lead to a constitutional crisis of a like not known since the 1640s.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">King Charles abrogated the power of the Commons and precipitated the Civil War upon England. If, in this present circumstance Parliament were to abrogate the decision of a direct Referendum of the People, then such a crisis would again be upon us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We, those who voted to Leave the EU and whose number, some 17.4 million exceeded the Remain vote by a million and a quarter or so, would not accept the constitutional legitimacy of an outcome that contradicted this. The rancour and resentment this would raise would inevitably lead to chaotic and unpredictable events arising in the future, and who can say that we would not experience a second Civil War in our nation?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I cannot emphasise strongly enough the moral peril into which these misleaders seek to take us. It would be enough, but now I see that Tony Blair, architect of the Iraq War himself, is pressing forward of overturning the Will of our People. And I read some politicians saying that this is 'too important a decision to allow the people to make' or that we are in a post democratic age. This is not acceptable. We must be clear that this is dictatorship and tyranny, in their clearest literal meanings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I look forward to speaking with you in person and I urge you in the strongest terms possible to seek to convince your party to accept the nation's verdict. It is utterly unacceptable and hypocritical for a party that claims to represent the common person to seek to overturn a firm majority mandate of this nature.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Thankyou.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Kind regards,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In the
aftermath of the unexpected UK Referendum result, which as all will now know
came out to Leave the EU, we have seen some incredible attempts to overturn
this, which I believe is the largest single mandate received at a national poll
in our history. Slightly more people
voted in the 1992 General Election, but the vote was split between three main
and several smaller parties. The
winning party then, the Conservatives, received less than 40% of the total
vote, while Leave took 52%, at over 17 million votes, and a million and a
quarter lead over Remain. No-one asked
for any recounts, so the vote is uncontested, and stands.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Thus by any
normal standards of electoral representation this is a firm and resounding vote
in favour of the proposition to leave the EU.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And yet,
despite it being stated clearly by the Prime Minister when this was arranged
that there would be <i>no second vote</i>, and affirming on the morning after the Referendum that the will of the British people must be respected, that it is an
instruction which must be delivered, and that the decision cannot be doubted,
the Remainer camp, principally on the Left so far as I can determine have made
an infinity of attempts already to get the result overturned, reversed,
ignored, re-voted upon and the rest.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The Labour
party has gone into meltdown as it does about once every generation, tearing
itself apart in public; and regrettably Jeremy Corbyn has resorted to
accusations of racism abounding in our country. His message to me seems confused. If he is seeking to maintain his position as leader of his party,
then whether there is or is not racism abroad is fairly irrelevant, I would
imagine since I’m sure they all consider themselves good ‘anti-racists’. Although I dare say there is always some
mileage to be had from a bit of gratuitous virtue signalling. On the other hand there have been a rash of
what sound to me like ‘false flag’ victims claiming to have been subject to
racist attacks following the Brexit vote.
I think these must always be looked at cautiously since we have seen so
many fake attacks or daubing of slogans on mosques claimed by muslims who have
been subsequently demonstrated to have created these themselves.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I’m relieved
that the EU elite seem to be taking our decision more seriously than some of
our own people. But what I would like
to examine here is how it is that a minority of a minority can claim to have a
right to overturn the largest mandate in our history?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If they were
to actually succeed in preventing us leaving the EU then they would have in
effect implemented a coup against the British people. Now I want to look at the claims that since certain regions voted
to Remain then they should be allowed to do so.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Frankly, this
is in contravention to the way our laws and democracy work. I have lost count of the number of times
that lefties have said to me ‘Well, that’s representative democracy for you,
you vote people in and they make decisions.
If you don’t like it, tough, it’s the will of the majority’ even when
these ‘democratically elected’ politicians take decisions which they have never
mentioned to the electorate previously.
(Like the Leeds Trolleybus scheme that was nearly foisted on the people
of Leeds, but was rejected after an exhaustive Public Inquiry.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And there can
be no question that had the Remain camp won we would now be having to endure
the most spiteful harangues against us in perpetuum, having ‘You Lost!’ rammed
down our throats as they press their boot down on the back of our collective
neck.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To claim that
regions should have the right to secede from the United Kingdom on the basis of
these results is the deny the nature of that Union and the representative
democracy we have so often had used against us. We voted as a the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Not a bunch of separate and independent principalities. The nation state, which is still the fundamental unit of political and international identity in the world. As has already been emerging, apparently the EU grandees are not interested in Scotland as a member if it left the UK, or at least there would be a very long application stage. So Ms Sturgeon might realise that one's family is more dependable than one's new best friend; despite our long chafing at each other, we can be relied upon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And Sadgit Khan’s suggestion that London itself should secede is
so utterly ridiculous that I shall leave it at that and say no more on the
matter. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So these,
predominantly lefty, Remainers who won’t accept the standards applied to them
which they have exploited for decades, are also griping because they don’t have
the opportunity to sneer and lord it over us.
I’m sure the Conservatives are having their own little er.. discussions
behind the scenes, but at least they manage a bit more decorum than the
whinging whines of the leftie Remain losers and do it mostly in private.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And so we come
to it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There are
those in the Remain camp, not all, but many, especially the young, who
entertain the delusion that they can overturn this democratically determined
mandate if they shout loudly enough.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is in a
way the culmination of the Cultural Marxist technique, and they are betting all
on this one last throw of the dice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Since the
Second World War and the creation of the UN, then the EU, we have seen the
endless promotion of ‘minorities’ to the degree now where they have more rights
than the majorities in our countries.
If you don’t believe this, look at any number of videos online where
white males are vilified simply for being white males. In Europe immigrants are committing terrible
crimes ~ Rotherham and the rest ~ and get privileged treatment because those
who should be rooting it out are afraid of being called ‘racist’. Muslims who married child brides abroad are
allowed to bring them into the UK, and can even claim benefits for multiple
wives, while an English man who even had more than one wife would be prosecuted
for bigamy.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In England we
have had to put up with denigration of our people and our culture by the left
for generations, even though we are in a majority, as was demonstrated by the
voting pattern at the Referendum. The
tweets and social media vilification of the Leave camp has been extreme with
verbal abuse and even death threats to Nigel Farage which have not lead to
suspension of accounts.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This has been
the style of the endless series of ‘colour’ and street revolutions we have seen
over the last few years whether in Arab nations or the Ukraine. ‘Popular uprisings’ somehow manage to
overthrow established and in most cases legitimate or at least stable governments
because the media and the likes of George Soros get behind them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We have seen

Would we fare any better if the will of the people were to be overturned
in such a manner?</span></div>

‘minorities’ have got so used to being protected and getting their own way all
the time against the majority who have been perpetually backed against the wall
in their own territories that they take it for granted that they can overturn
even this mandate. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">

Umunna and David Lammy say ‘Well 48% of the electorate didn’t vote for this, so
we should respect that.’ Yes, I respect
them. I won’t berate them for having
made a different choice to me. I shan’t
beat up on them because we disagree. I
will not sneer or lord it over them as they would have done to us. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But they must accept that they have lost and
we have won. This is the way it
is. We have had too much of ‘everyone
has to be a winner’ and ‘we can’t have anyone losing’. So if that is the case, then you force
losing on those who have actually won.
By giving consolation prizes to losers, and withholding the prize from
the winners, you turn everything upside down, back to front and inside out as
the Cultural Marxists always do.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The rabble mob
of youth are claiming that they have had their future stolen from them by
‘oldies’ who have only a few years yet to live. Well, I’m in my sixties, but hope to live for up to another
thirty years, so I have a future too in this.
And my parents generation, some still voting, who fought in the
war. Whatever one might think about the
rights and wrongs of that, they believed in what they fought for, and have a
right to be respected. The generation
who defended and built the nation which the youth wish to give away for
trinkets and baubles.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And my own
generation, who grew up in the shadow of the war. I know some who complain about the baby boomers who let all this
happen. There is some responsibility,
but mostly we were misled and deceived; however, now we have stood up, before
it is too late. Yes, we remember what
it was like before the EU plunged us into the depths, and we want it back. Those who never knew it are ignorant, and
have illusions to which they were indoctrinated. They do not have the right to give away what our ancestors fought
for, and built over long years of struggle.
It is the duty of the elders to preserve what was handed down to
us. Children don’t understand
this. I didn’t when I was young, and I
don’t expect they do now. But they
will.</span></div>

I hope it will burn itself out through being ignored, but it should be

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Almost all
revolutions begin with minority groups who pursue principally their own
agendas. The mob are co-opted, but then
their impetus is diverted to those agendas, and then they themselves are put
down if they get wise and try to stop it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is
Chaos. Anarchy. Those who know the I Ching of the ancient
Chinese will understand that the Yang must not be subordinate to the Yin. The Great must be above the Small. The Majority must rule the Minority, or
there is Chaos. Yes, the Majority
should respect the Minority and not oppress them, but if they go beyond this,
and give in to that Minority, then they have abdicated the right to rule.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If the
Minority accepts that it has lost, it can be respected and accommodated to some
degree. If it tries to assert dominance
over the Majority, it will bring downfall upon itself. This is the way it has always been, and it
is the way that it is. The death knell
of the EU has been sounded. The 23<sup>rd</sup>
July 2016 will go down in history as a momentous event, even more important
than 9/11. The ‘contagion’ of free
thought and independence has broken through the autocratic mind control which assumed
it would remain in power.</span></div>

lost, and there is nothing they can do but scream and have tantrums. They can slow it down, and they can cause us
problems along the way. They can manipulate and pervert. But the EU is
now doomed because the hope of freedom has arisen in the hearts of European
nations across the continent. They can
accept it and let it happen smoothly, or they can fight and be eviscerated by
their own chaos.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The
War on Gender which is currently being waged by the LGBT lobby puppets of the
Cultural Marxist propagandists has recently stepped up a gear, or possibly two.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> If
you haven't heard my interview with the estimable Lana Lokteff on her
Radio 3Fourteen show, then I would recommend you do so before you read this so
as to get as much background to the subject as possible first.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Following
the insanity of liberals allowing anyone access to either sex toilets according
to how they ‘identify’ (whatever that means exactly), and the inevitable and
predictable reaction by conservatives to prevent this, we see O’Bummer himself
in a doubtless vetted set piece with a person of female appearance and
Pakistani ancestry who claims a ‘non-binary’ identity.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/23/student-comes-out-as-non-binary-to-barack-obama/"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/23/student-comes-out-as-non-binary-to-barack-obama/</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The
mainstream media don’t seem to be questioning what this means, but rather
jumping to ‘support’ ‘them’, while the on-the-ground level reaction I have
picked up so far is that real people are saying “WTF is ‘non-binary’?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So
what indeed is a ‘non-binary’ identity, and why has it been sicced on an
unsuspecting public at this particular time?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Although
this young person has been associated with the ‘Transgender Movement’, we
should distinguish between several closely related but distinct terms that have
arisen in this culture.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">‘Transgender’
is a word now widely used as an umbrella term for all gender non-conforming
people, but this is a comparatively recent usage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was coined in about 1980 by a person calling themself Virginia Prince as a more acceptable term than that used at the time for cross
dressers, ‘Transvestite’, which was commonly associated with sexual
fetishism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Prince">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Prince</a></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>‘Transgender’ on the other
hand was designed to emphasise the <i>gender</i> aspect with which TGs were
supposedly identified, since they would seek to pass in public in their desired
gender without actually having had medical treatment like <i>transsexuals.</i>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">‘Transsexual’
is a term which had been in use since at least the 1950s that was specifically
applied to people who had medical hormonal and surgical treatment to modify
their physical appearance and morphology to be like that of their desired sex.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">All
of these at various times have been put forward as mental illnesses, from the
early ‘Psychopathia transsexualis’ to the more recent ‘Gender Identity
Disorder’ but there has been evidence for some time that the closely defined
Transsexual group have an actual neurological birth condition in which they
really do have parts of the brain which had developed as that appropriate to
their opposite physical sex.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus, it
really is the case that the reported sense of being a ‘woman in a man’s body’
and vice versa is an accurate description.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So
the term ‘Transgender’ has gone from meaning someone who is a Cross Dresser, to
include both CDs and Transsexuals who have a more primary sense of their bodily
identity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus the distinction is
blurred.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It
is my understanding that this is a matter of some disagreement in the <i>Trans </i>world,
my own preferred blanket term.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many
transsexuals do not like being associated with people they see as being
entirely unlike them, while TGs often will argue that such distinctions are
irrelevant, or divisive politically and attack TSs as ‘post-op elitists’.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And
this is where ‘Non-Binary’ comes into the debate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">A
large proportion of the general public will accept transsexuals who
successfully pass in their desired sex/gender and who have had reassignment
surgeries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They may not exactly
understand it, but it doesn’t challenge the very nature of sex and gender if
the person involved seeks to fit into an existing pattern and is
morphologically congruent.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">TG
is a grey area which has more recently been thrust on an unsuspecting
world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the term was picked up by
Judith Butler in her books from the late eighties and early nineties it somehow
managed to get to be used as a conflation of several variants, including
possibly the best known, transsexualism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Her observation that there is a ‘performative element’ in gender has
been widely abused and misrepresented to claim that sex is in itself only
performative, and thus anyone can be either sex merely depending on their
behaviour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The finer points of
distinction between sex and gender tend to get air brushed out of the picture
when the LGBT promoters get their hands on it and we arrive at the stage we
have got to at the present in which anyone claiming to ‘identify’ with one or
the other ‘gender’ can use the toilets of the opposite <i>sex.</i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<a href="http://www.theory.org.uk/ctr-butl.htm"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">http://www.theory.org.uk/ctr-butl.htm</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The
point at which ‘Non-Binary’ can now enter has been achieved because <i>sex</i>
having been reduced to only <i>gender</i> is now only a concept, and so bodies
have become irrelevant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we had
sex, we knew that there were <i>two</i> forms, or at least two <i>poles</i>,
male and female.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There might be
intersex, hermaphrodites and transsexuals who are a mixture of male and female
bodies, but there was this principle dynamic of the polarity, which has been
designed into biological reproduction by nature over a billion years or so.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Enter
‘Non-Binary’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If <i>sex</i> is no more
than <i>gender</i>, then we are no longer anchored in nature, no longer rooted
in the forms which are its means of expression, but we are seeking to repudiate
its classical archetypes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">‘Non-Binary’
is far more than merely TG, TS, Cross Dresser, confused and all the rest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘Non-Binary’ is not merely saying ‘I don’t
know what I am, I’m all mixed up, I might be a bit of both, bisexual, asexual
or whatever.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No, all that is
kindergarten stuff which we should be able to recognise and understand as the
result of feminising chemicals on embryologic development, early maturation and
the destructive influence of Cultural Marxist programming through the
mainstream media.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What ‘Non-Binary’
does is to put a position that is a quantum leap beyond.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Having
got the world all nice and confused with the imposition of ‘Transgender’ as the
blanket term, superseding <i>transsexualism</i>, it then goes on the attack the
existence of <i>gender itself.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So
someone who claims to be ‘Non-Binary’ ‘identified’ is someone who is not just
some kind of androgynous, hermaphroditic, intersex like creature who is seeking
to either find some slot into which they can fit, or something that is some
balance of the sexes that they can become, or that even accepts that they are a
confused mix of these two polarities, but is someone who <i>rejects</i> those
polarities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By claiming to be
‘Non-Binary’, they are not only saying that they don’t fit in, but that the
‘Binary’ on which our entire culture is based is no more than a construct, a
fiction designed by someone for some arbitrary reason which bears no relation
to the functions of nature.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The boundaries, the natural tabu between men and
women are to be broken down entirely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This coming so hot on the heels of the affirmation of transgenders’
rights to use toilet facilities of their preference regardless of appearance or
bodily anatomical status is clearly no coincidence.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In
the wake of the controversy we are to be reminded, guilt tripped into something
most don’t really understand.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">First,
gender has been detached and deconstructed away from attachment to an actual
body.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Secondly,
the rights of any who claim an abstract ‘identification’ with that
deconstructed construction are to be recognised regardless of demonstrative
evidence such as physical appearance and behaviour, or medically reassigned
status.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Thirdly,
since ‘Sex’ is now only an incidental physical characteristic and not in any
way associated with ‘Gender’, people who claim ‘identification’ with a
particular ‘Gender’ can thus enter the space previously exclusive to the <i>sex</i>
associated with that ‘Gender’.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">However,
since that space is no longer exclusively inhabited by those of that <i>sex</i>
to which it was exclusive, the <i>gendered terms</i> ‘man’ ‘woman’ ‘male’ and
‘female’ are not merely enlarged, or modified as in the case of adapting to the
existence of intersexes and transsexuals, but entirely transformed so that they
lose critical parts of their meaning.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Policing
of dissent from traditionalists is maintained by use of choice words of abuse,
such as ‘bigot’ and ‘sexist’.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It
is perhaps as much as a decade since I got into an exchange on an
anti-Transphobia forum discussing the problematic nature of this discourse when
claiming ‘female’ identity for TGs who have had no medical reassignment
treatment, and got back the response ‘I’m perfectly happy with my female
penis.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Okay, this is a complete
redefinition of language at which Winston Smith would stand back in admiration,
as black became white.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When
the Gender Recognition Act (2004) was passed I predicted that the failure to
require certain medical procedures to be carried before a Recognition
Certificate and revised Birth Certificate could be issued would lead to exactly
the state we have at present.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Which
some believe is a precursor to the elimination of legal sex or gender
completely, on the basis of human rights or somesuch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fewer objective referents which are attached to the
association between sex and gender, then the less meaningful the latter
becomes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As it becomes more amorphous
it becomes easier to push the ‘Non-Binary’, and those who are tempted by this
notion become thereby more malleable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If you have no template to aspire to, no gender role model, then you are
fair game for the Cultural Marxist to mould to their own ends.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What
this ‘Non-Binary’ agenda seeks to do is to break down all that is based on
nature and on the basis of ‘equality’ and ‘fairness’ to make us all grey and
featureless drones without gender, race or any unique characteristics of our
own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And in the process it seeks to
crush the mind which recognises the cognitive dissonance generated by ideas
which conflict with our natural instincts.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Without
going into details, we need to find some way to adapt to the presence of trans
people in our societies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This
is probably the point at which I should mention that I myself underwent what
was then known as ‘Gender Reassignment’ in the 1980s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t discuss this online with any great enthusiasm as it has
been a private matter all my life and I wish it could remain so, but it is
important for me to speak out against the current LGBTQ movement which seeks to
represent me, but which has goals entirely at odds with my own beliefs.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our
existence is a fact which will not simply go away by wishing it, or by
condemning it as some on the Right would have it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But trans people are a minute proportion of the population, even
if the revised levels of prevalence calculated by Lynn Conway are correct,</span></span></div>

for the general population to have to change their attitudes and behaviour for
one person in a thousand or even in five hundred who is to be given a status

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There
has to be a line somewhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can
negotiate where that line might be, but there has to be a line.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I’ve
seen several comments on social media recently from people who have said things
like ‘They’ve just messed it up now opening up rest rooms to anyone who
‘identifies’ as a ‘woman’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were
probably thousands of successfully transitioned trans women who passed
successfully in stealth and were never questioned when they used women’s rest
rooms, but now any woman with so much as a trace of facial hair are going to be
grilled, or else total pervs will be using the ladies facilities and no-one
will be able to stop them.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s time we have the discussion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where do we draw the line?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The
two sides are faced off against each other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The liberals demand that anyone should be able to use any public toilet
on the basis of simple ‘identification’, which is little more than a mere
statement of wish, and the conservatives will only accept assignment at
birth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have to reject the former as
without basis in evidence, merely taking someone’s word for something without
demonstrative evidence is stupidity in the extreme; and the latter, while I respect
the impulse from which it arises, is rather living in the stone age with regard
to recognition of intersexual type birth conditions, both morphological and
neurological.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So
we have to have the discussion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Alt
or New Right is getting to grips with recognition of the fact that
homosexuality exists and that it is an instinctual inclination in some
people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So long as we maintain a
balance whereby we don’t punish people for inclinations which are natural to them,
so long as they do no harm by them, but at the same time recognise that
traditional heteronormative relations are the best basis for a stable and
culturally fruitful society then we will be in balance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We
need to take the next step and get to grips with the fact that the trans world
exists and that it cannot be stamped out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But Transgender activists should not presume by this that they can
establish and exploit a hegemonic victim position in order to attack
heteronormative structures through virtue signalling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We
are a small minority and most of us seek only to pass unnoticed in
society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those who stand on the soap
boxes and promote ‘Non-Binary’ models of gender, and endlessly push their
victimhood agendas are representative only of themselves, a minority faction
within the minority.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I
have my own position on where exactly I think we should draw the line, but I’ll
leave that for now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, we <i>must</i>
have a line, and preferably one which accommodates scientific knowledge on
brain sex, but also on morphology, appearance and behaviour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A man or a woman are recognised through
their gestalt, although there are <i>sine qua non</i>s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There <i>must</i> be a line drawn between
male and female.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is an ancient tabu,
both sacred and profane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some may cross
it due to exceptional circumstances, but those circumstances will be recognised
and understood, there will be rites of passage, and formal recognition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People who claim ‘identification’ will need
to provide evidence to substantiate that claim.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I
am even prepared to allow for an ‘Intergender’ category.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I mentioned this term to Dr Sally Hines of
the Leeds University Dept of Gender Studies in 2009 when I had several
conversations with her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This would
accommodate those who permanently inhabited a zone of mixed status.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I understand there is a term ‘Neutrois’ which
has been adopted by some, but I don’t find this nearly as troublesome as
‘Non-Binary’.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This
latter term is a purposeful attack on the very division of higher life forms
into male and female.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People who use
this term routinely attack what they call ‘The Gender Binary’, as if masculine
and feminine were an affront to human dignity, rather than what gives it its
depth of character.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 57.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So
we must have a line, and we need to have the discussion about exactly where it
is, especially when it comes to the use of pubic facilities, or we will fall
into the abyss where anyone is anything they say they are, and where the very
binary polarity of life itself is denied.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There
is a whole other discussion I could get into about how this is parallel to the
current attempt at destroying national identities and borders in a very similar
way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No Borders is not far from
Non-Binary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No boundaries is what these
people want, and it is no surprise to me that one of the principle tools of
fear that has recently been used against us is the threat of Ebola, the disease
which ruptures cell walls, like open borders and Non-Binary abolition of
gender.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This seems to be the template
for the world which the EU, Soros and their social engineers have lined up for
us.</span></div>

I will leave the discussion there for now, and thank Annie Dieu-le-Veut </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">for drawing

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;">I
may not quite count myself a Christian these days, but I still recognise some wisdom
within that tradition and will refer to it in this piece principally because it
is recognisable to readers of a European heritage. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;">The
best of that wisdom is congruent with the traditions of the Aesir, and more
generally, we seek to maintain Order, though it is surrounded by Chaos.
Its core may be summarised in the well known quotation from the Gospel of
John. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

ancient Greek literally means</span> <i><span style="font-size: medium;">Word</span></i><span style="font-size: medium;"> and hence the verse by John. By
extension it means a principle, or Reason. In alchemical philosophy the
element of air accords with thought and reason, and the Tarot symbol or suit of
that element is Swords. The scalpel of reason which divides truth from
falsehood, order from chaos and knowledge from ignorance. </span></span></span></span></div>

considered to be the Logos, the principle upon which all existence rests, in
his ascended form, akin to Krishna, the Personality of Godhead, says ‘I bring
not peace, but a sword.’ He says that he will separate the wheat from the
chaff, the fruitful from the barren, the good from the worthless.</span></span></div>

the Renaissance, which itself developed from mediaeval scholastic philosophy,

12</span><sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup><span style="font-size: medium;">C Renaissance (as distinct from that of the 15</span><sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup><span style="font-size: medium;">C)
was clearly influenced and even stimulated by contact with the Islamic cultures
of the Middle East, but it is a mistake to claim that our culture is no more
than an offshoot of those.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Islamic Caliphate did indeed preserve
some of the ancient texts that they found in the various formerly Christian
Roman lands which they brutally conquered from the 7</span><sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup><span style="font-size: medium;">C onwards, but
they destroyed far more than they preserved. It is also essential to
understand that they did very little with this ancient knowledge.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Islam is an imperialistic and theocratic
quasi-religious dogma which seeks only to obliterate that which is different,
while the Christian cultures of the West had a more inquiring mind and sought
to understand the new. This is why the knowledge of architecture which
the Crusaders brought back was used and integrated into our European culture,
because Reason is at the core of our way of thought, while Islam seeks to
dominate by force. </span></span></div>

opinions, that some realities, some outcomes are preferable to others, while
our modern <i>‘Diverse’</i></span><span style="font-size: medium;"> society insists that all values are equal.
The primacy of Reason and the culture and ethos through which it is expressed
is what I refer to as ‘Logos’ in the context of civilisation. Each
culture will have a different expression dependent on local circumstances and
history, but Europe can stand as one civilisation because each nation shares
Reason (actually deified by the French) as the common thread.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Thus we have now a society which inevitably
seeks to undermine the principles on which it was built since we no longer
share a uniting principle. And so it is. Firstly, our unified and
homogeneous society has taken in different influences, principally Islam,
allowed it to have equality with the logoidal culture, and then it becomes
inevitable that that Logos no longer holds sway.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We see that Islam, in particular, is an
insidious culture which, when there are small numbers of its followers within a
larger society, remains docile and compliant. There is no immediate
problem, they apparently seek not to erode or undermine the host culture, and
are good and law abiding, conforming citizens.</span></span></div>

that once the numbers of the population increase beyond a certain percentage,
then this begins to change. First they make apparently reasonable
requests for us to respect their religion, headscarves, holy days and so forth,
but then move on to more assertive aims. What were first simply claims
for respect of their own customs and values become criticisms of <i>our values,

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We have seen the complaints about Christmas,
the eating of pork, and then this develops and grows into demands for sharia
law, then sharia law areas which are no go for non-Muslims, and the native
historic culture which has evolved in its own milieu for over a thousand years
is put on the back foot and made to feel bad about itself. This week I
have seen news items about how Easter eggs have been put on sale this year
without the word ‘Easter’ on them. A small detail, but telling. We
are apparently not allowed to mention the name of our own customs publicly in
our own land. Although not a Christian any more these days, but a
respecter of the culture and religion of my ancestors, nonetheless I have made
a point of wishing as many people as possible a ‘Happy Easter’ this
last week as an act of resistance to this creeping political correctness.</span></span></div>

sure many of my readers will know the phrase <i>‘Ordo ab Chao’</i></span><span style="font-size: medium;">, the term

means is that they like to take the opportunity to impose their own Order on

two ways: sheer brute force, or deception.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Islam has used the first of these methods for

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It is the deception which is at the bottom of
the problems we see today. Either our leaders are simply ignorant of the
1400 year Jihad, they have been deceived and really believe, somehow, that
Islam is truly a ‘religion of peace’, or else, and one is inclined to believe
that this must be the case, they are cuckolds who for some reason are inclined
to encourage the growth of this aggressive culture within our midst,
disregarding or not caring about its destructive effects on our civilisation.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Any cell or organism must maintain
homoeostatic conditions within itself, or else it will die. A cell which
is invaded by alien DNA will likely be corrupted and taken over to reproduce
that DNA, not its own, unless it has an immune system or microphages that can
destroy it. If the skin of the ionosphere failed and we were exposed to
the cosmic rays with which outer space is replete, then we would all soon
die from radiation.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The cell walls and the ionosphere are
boundary conditions which protect the logoidal essence within. Truth may
fear no investigation, but I have heard many mistakenly suggest that it needs
no defence. This is clearly wrong. How many lies have been told
which have been believed? How many innocents have been hung or executed
for crimes that they never committed? Logos is the DNA, the guiding
principle of order and life, but it needs a stiff defence, or else it will
dissolve and recede back into the primal chaos from which it emerged. DNA
without a cell wall to enclose and protect it will not last long.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Nature neither likes nor allows total
uniformity or conformity. Light and dark alternate. Ahura-Mazda,
principle of Light, is locked in eternal combat with Ahriman, principle of
Chaos and Darkness. Osiris is restored to life by Isis after his battle
with Set, God of the Desert and Chaos. Baldr is betrayed by Loki and
restored after Ragnarok. And Jesus, the Logos, is resurrected by the
power of the Spirit (Life) after betrayal by the servants of Satan. And
so on.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Thus when Reason and Light fade, it is the
nature of existence for a New Logos to emerge. Out of the rotting compost
heap comes new life, new vigour. The Christian symbol of the Resurrection
expresses this, cognate with the ancient story of the Resurrection of Osiris.</span></span></div>

was imposed on northern Europe by the sword.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="font-size: medium;">But it took root more easily than it might otherwise have done because
there were both core truths in Christianity which paralleled those of the
Asatru faith of the north, such as the similarities between Balder and Christ,
or Odin as the All Father as a more human version of God the Father, and the
conquering religion had the sense to adapt the existing festivals and holy
sites, such as Yule becoming Christmas, so that there was continuity and the
people were thus kept on board.</span></span></span></div>

be a religion of peace, despite not only the words of their book, but also the
rather more obviously apparent history of 1400 years of war on the rest of the
world.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">The Koran may be an obscure text

in France where they were repulsed by Charles Martel in 732 AD, or the siege of
Vienna almost a thousand years later in 1683, where again they were sent back,
or the millennium in between, characterised by unrelenting incursions on the
southern coast of Europe, the predations of the Barbary corsair slavers or, not
least, the taking of Constantinople in 1452. This great city of the
ancient world had been the Eastern capital of the Roman Empire and had survived
a full millennium beyond the fall of its Western sister. Characterised by
the great dome of the Hagia Sophia built by Justinian in the 4</span><sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup><span style="font-size: medium;">C,
it had been the bulwark of Western Civilisation for an age, but fell to Islam,
and the towers were erected for muezzin around the formerly Christian

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It is probably a good moment to mention that
North Africa under the Romans, and in the ancient world, was principally
populated by peoples that we would recognise or understand as being
European. Ancient Carthage, and even some Egyptian pharaohs, were
Caucasoid peoples. The demographic dominance of Arabic peoples in North
Africa dates only from the Islamic Jihad of the 7</span><sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup><span style="font-size: medium;"> and 8</span><sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup><span style="font-size: medium;">
centuries, when the indigenous Europids were genocided, ethnically cleansed,
exterminated and replaced by the conquering peoples from Arabia. Small
groups of the indigenous people survived, such as the Berbers and
Circassians. TE Lawrence (of Arabia) was reputed to have passed himself
off as a Circassian when in disguise as a spy and questioned about his blue
eyes.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Islamic predation continued for many
centuries until the early modern period with the Barbary corsairs who took some
two million or so European slaves from coastal raiding. The ending of the
trade routes which had existed since the ancient world by the Caliphate during
the Middle Ages was one of the principle reasons for the initiation of the Age
of Discovery, as it is known, in the early 15</span><sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup><span style="font-size: medium;">C within a couple of
generations of the Black Death, which had come from the Middle East.
Trade with the East had simply become impossible, either through the Middle
East or the ancient Silk Road through Turkey, and so new routes were developed,
leading to better navigational technologies and expanding economies.
Islam in the meantime stagnated, complacent in its brute strength and
domination.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And so we come down to the present day.
Western Europe, having not faced Islamic attack since the Dark Ages has
forgotten. But Eastern Europe, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria have
not. An almost perpetual predation was visited on what was formerly the
Eastern part of the Roman Empire for hundreds of years, until comparatively
recently. Ottoman Turkey only finally fell in 1918 at the end of the
Great War. Kemal Attaturk may have sought to modernise, to westernise in
the wake of its collapse, but it would be naïve to imagine that with the
resurgence of Islam in the last generation or two there would be no hankering
after the lost past, no attempt to restore the empire which had lasted for over
five hundred years. An aside: why do we in Europe not seek
reparations from Turkey for its crimes against our peoples? Instead,
Merkel seeks to allow them to enter our lands freely. </span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">One question I shall have to leave for
another time is why, after 1918, the victorious powers failed to restore
Constantinople to Greece or Bulgaria. This, in my view, was negligence of
the most extreme order, or else, as I think quite possible, a deliberate trap
set for the future by the likes of those who rewrote the maps in the
1920s. While Germany was, unjustly, stripped of several of its provinces
which had unified with the Second Reich after the war of 1870, Turkey was
stripped of its eastern possessions, such as Palestine, Syria and what became
Iraq, but that ancient part of the European lands on our side of the Bosphorus
was not restored to us as it should have been. These obscure redrawings
of the map of this part of the world have been at the root of the more recent
troubles there, and it seems that this is no coincidence. But I shall
need to leave that for further exegesis elsewhere.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For now, I shall focus on the division that
has been introduced into Europe. This had been done in several
ways. The two most important are racially, and culturally. We see
from the example of Ancient Rome that racial diversity does not have to be as
much of a problem as it has become if there is a dominant culture to which
everyone, at least nominally, subscribes. This was the main reason why
Jews and Christians were considered troublesome in the 1</span><sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup><span style="font-size: medium;">C
particularly, since they insisted on being separate, and on claiming that their
God was above the gods of the Roman pantheon.</span></span></span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There is a position which holds that Rome
began to fall after Constantine had made Christianity the official religion of
the Roman state. This may be so, but it was certainly an attempt to
maintain a dominant political and religious Logos, or principle.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Surely the reason why Rome lasted for as long
as it did, and became the principle foundation for the modern world is because
it had a firm cultural centre. Literal belief in the gods may not have
been universal, but the principles of what they represented were respected, and
this was the foundation of Rome. But when ‘The centre cannot hold, then
things fall apart’ as the saying goes. The hub, the axis, must be firm
and strong.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Today, the only firm belief we are supposed
to have is in ‘Multi-Culturalism’ and ‘Diversity’. However this is in
itself contrary to ‘firm belief’ since we find that the proponents of Islam
firmly believe that the Christian, post-Christian, humanist, pagan, Odinist,
Asatru or atheist culture which we share, which has evolved over centuries, is
wrong, evil, and the work of Satan.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Thus Ahura-Mazda, God of Reason and Light,
wanes and is confronted with the destructive power of Darkness, Ahriman
(sometimes pronounced <i>Angry Man</i></span><span style="font-size: medium;">, an interesting homophone), and the
Logos begins to fall. This is the state in which we find ourselves
today. Angry chaos bursts out from within the hearts of our own cities
and tears at the breast on which it has fed.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">On Tuesday of this week, the Christian Holy
Week, a barbaric atrocity was visited on Brussels, the symbolic ‘Heart of
Europe’. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The news coverage which has been focussed on
this event has demonstrated that the once great and beautiful city has become
rotten to the core. The ringleader of last year’s Paris massacre,
Abdeslam, had been holed up in an Islamic ghetto, and it is thought
highly probable that this week’s bombs were reprisals for his arrest. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is a clear demonstration that it is the
culture we have to fear; while individuals may appear to be law abiding, their
compliance with the culture of the terrorists demonstrates their true
loyalties.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There have been the usual attempts to claim
that, on the basis that only a small number of individuals actually carried out
these atrocities, the Islamic community as a whole should bear no
responsibility.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is an argument of sophistry. When
a society engages in war, only a small number of the population engage in front
line combat. For example, in the Great War, there may have been several
millions of troops engaged in the war fronts, but these could never have been
maintained there had their nations not been backed up behind them, unified in
production of war materiel, food and supplies. There is probably a
formula used by military experts to calculate the number of front line troops
that can be maintained by a population of a given size.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We have to understand that Islam seeks to
spread itself and then conquer as its fundamental reason for existence.
The entire mediaeval caliphate which stretched from Spain and Morocco to the
Far East was established through war. Well, you may say, Christianity and
other religions have extended their sway through similar methods. To some
extent this may be true, but do we see any other religion attempting to spread
itself in this manner today on a comparable scale, or in recent times? I
would suggest not.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Islam has two strategies for conquest.
Firstly, the simple war jihad, but secondly colonisation and ‘conquering with
the cradle’. This is blatantly what is happening in Europe at present
with the demographic invasion and the high birth rates of the immigrants.
And European empathy is exploited to the hilt. One drowned child is far
more emotive than tens of thousands of fighting age men who have no
identification papers, but all carry smart phones, with fully paid up credit.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is predation, and will lead to the
genocide of the European peoples if not opposed. A French judge recently
declared that there is no basis for racial ‘Frenchness’. Apparently there
is no such thing as an ethnically French person, descent from the Franks, Gauls
or Celts means nothing in this modern world. It is commonplace to see
people of African and Arabic descent described as ‘French’ or ‘Danish’ or
‘Swedish’ in the news media.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We are now to be abused as ‘racist’ if one
identifies with one’s ethnic heritage in the West, although non-White,
non-European nations are all allowed to maintain their ethnic identities in
their own racially homogeneous lands.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Probably the pebble which started the
avalanche of awareness on this issue for me was when in the autumn of 2013 a
man I knew who was from a Pakistani family said on Facebook ‘Well I’m English,
and I think such and such.’ I called him out. I said ‘You aren’t
English, you are Asian British. English is an ethnicity, and you are
appropriating it.’ It would be the same as if I managed somehow to get
Nigerian citizenship, for instance, and then called myself Hausa, or Ibo, or
Yoruba. (The three principle tribal nations which make up the Nigerian
population.) Patently absurd. And yet ethnic Pakistanis claim to be
‘English’, and it is politically incorrect to challenge such an
assertion. But I’m not politically correct, and I urge my readers not to
be, either.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The conversation didn’t last very long.
Having said that I didn’t see why people of English ancestry shouldn’t maintain
their ethnic identity and wish to remain the largest demographic group in the
country which their ancestors had occupied for millennia, he called me a
‘xenophobe’ and promptly unfriended me. I have only seen him once since,
over the counter at the shop where he sometimes works, and he declined to
speak. As an aside, I would say that a refusal to engage in debate is a
hallmark of totalitarian social structures and an unacknowledged admission of failure. We see this all the time with
Cultural Marxists and Social Justice Warriors. They seek to silence all
opposition. We see this with the Sanders supporters against Trump.
They seem oblivious to the ethical implications of what they are doing,
assuming that they have for themselves all rightness, and have no need to explore
issues, or even as Marxists to engage in a dialectic.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And so, Reason is attacked. It may seem
to some even that they are seeking to establish a greater Logos, a universal
system which supersedes and overtakes the existing one, but in so doing they are
dispensing with Reason, allowing contradictions to co-exist, and thereby slide
back into the morass of Dark Ages and brutality from which Islam emerged.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The arguments from the Islamic apologists
have been rehearsed many times on the media this week. Individual Muslims
may be good people. There was a Muslim in Glasgow this week who, having
put up a sign wishing all his Christian customers a ‘Happy Easter’ was murdered
for expressing such a wish. So, yes, there are ‘Good Muslims’ but you probably
wouldn’t want to be one, because of the consequences.</span></span><br />

conquer the world, not by Reason and the example of Charity, as the Christian
and post-Christian West has done, but by any means available. War and the
cradle, but also deception ~ ‘Taqiyya’, covert force. So that claiming it is only a few
extremists can be, and likely is, a deception, since we have both the evidence
that the populations of Muslim ghettos will harbour mass murderers, and the
inevitable fact that a massive support chain must extend beyond in order to
maintain the whole set up. Add to this that Muslims who actually <i>are</i></span><span style="font-size: small;">
good, tolerant people get taken out. Perhaps not all so graphically as
happened to that poor man in Glasgow, but brutality and coercion does not have
to be exercised to the point of death, only of overwhelming fear.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This week I delved into the world of Twitter
to see what was going down with the Brussels atrocities and the Trump
campaign. I came across numerous posts from @Sargon_of_Akkad claiming
that we are all individuals so we should not blame demographic groups.
Well, I’m all for personal responsibility, but to suggest that everyone takes
such responsibility is plainly absurd. Having sat through several hours
of his domination of Millennial Woes’ first Milleniyule Hangout on YouTube, I
was already wise to his devious ploys, which I see others refer to as ‘Saul
Alinsky tactics’, his claims to want to understand the views of others and his
endlessly condescending ‘But don’t you think…’ assertions.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Yes, in a situation where all other things
remain equal, and with no external pressures, many Muslims probably would
behave in the kind of way that we in the post-Christian West might hope.</span></span></div>

and there</span> <i><span style="font-size: small;">are</span></i><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"> external pressures. How should we expect the
majority of Muslims to behave when they have been indoctrinated all their lives
with admonitions to be loyal to the ‘Umma’, the community of the Islamic
‘faith’? When they are surrounded by in group peer pressure and mullahs
ranting hatred against the West</span>. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If their numbers were small then we might
continue to disregard them. But to do so would still be perilous, because
in time they use their tactics and increase. However, we are now well
past that. To put it frankly, people are afraid of criticising because
Islam has now become so over assertive, and has caused our own leaders to submit to
their domination. If you don’t believe me, think of Merkel claiming that
‘Islam belongs in Germany’, or Cameron’s false claim that ‘Islam is a Religion
of Peace’. </span></span></div>

have at best been dismissed as laughable, the Church would have contested them,
and anyone who persisted with them would have been considered irrational.
This is because the Logos of the European civilisation was still intact.
But now, we have suffered the <i>Rape of Europa</i></span><span style="font-size: small;">, a chilling myth from our
ancient past. I shall have to write more about this elsewhere, but the
symbolism of Jove, who must be cognate with Jehovah, raping Europa suggests to
me an influence on Western mythology from the Middle Eastern traditions.
Jove seems to be a conflation of the genuinely wise and compassionate Odin or
Woden of the Northern peoples, the All-Father, with the vengeful and jealous
Jehovah from the desert lands to the south. So, I ask, does the rape of
Europa represent the corruption of the true tradition of honour and wisdom with
an infection of this cruel Middle Eastern demon?</span></span></span></span></span></div>

have demonstrated that Islam as a culture, a political movement, is a threat in
that it is a unified belief system which has an aggressive mentality of
conquest, and that creates a culture and domination within its own ‘Umma’ which
obliges conformity to the collective will. At best, so long as one
does not resist or challenge that will, then one is not punished and coerced
into compliance ~ <i>submission</i></span><span style="font-size: small;"> ~ as I think we all now know the word
‘Islam’ means.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

for the West to fail to resist, to comply with its demands. ‘All that is
necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing’ as someone once
said.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It is remarkable really that the [mis]leaders
of the West (I include Obama and the USA) have been so cowardly as to fail to
stand up to the obvious threat of infiltration. This was crept up on us
over many decades, but when the picture became clear, they should have
acted. It seems that they must have other masters who have led them into
this, first through their own naïveté, then cupidity, and finally outright
cowardice. </span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And all this is cloaked under the disguise of
‘Multiculturalism’ and the proposition that ‘Diversity is our strength’.
New ideas which seek to overturn the perennial philosophy of the ages, that ‘A
House divided against itself cannot stand’, and that ‘Unity is strength’. What I call <i>Logos</i>, the Cultural Marxists call <i>Hegemony.</i></span></span></div>

become divided, has <i>been</i></span><span style="font-size: small;"> divided, by those who have allowed or

tolerate a certain proportion of different peoples and cultures within its
bosom. But there must be a limit. Travellers and traders may have
walked freely in Rome for hundreds of years, but if the Imperial authority
found that there were more than that certain proportion, or that sedition
against the Imperium was afoot, it would be quashed. When Rome was unable
to do this, it fell. Indeed, while I am no scholar of the Fall of Rome, I
have read that it was simply a catastrophic error of judgement in allowing the
barbarians into Rome, rather than a decisive defeat, which led to the fall of
that great city and empire of the West.</span></span></div>

at least that part of it controlled by the mainstream media, is paralysed with
fear of being called names such as ‘racist’, ‘xenophobe’, ‘fascist’ and so
forth, when all they are doing is expressing a love for their own people, and a
desire to maintain their civilisation against the ingress of foreigners who
have no historical stake in what our ancestors fought and died for. In
fact, many of our ancestors fought and died for freedom from this very kind of
demographic ingress and totalitarian religious threat.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It is unacceptable that Jews can be firm in
their own borders around Israel, but criticise Europeans or Americans when they
seek to do the same, whilst promoting multi-culturalism for us. If you
haven’t seen the infamous video of Barbara Lerner Spectre, an infiltrator into Sweden,
then now is the time to watch it. </span></span><br />

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But I have a sense that much of this is about
to end, as a part of the natural cycle. The Fabian socialists and
Cultural Marxists who have been working at undermining our civilisation for
most of the last century or two fail to understand organic life and
biology. When an organism is threatened there are unconscious biological survival
mechanisms which get activated. I heard a story once of a young mother
whose child got trapped in a car accident, and she lifted the car sufficiently
to retrieve her offspring, when normally she couldn’t lift a quarter of that
weight. Adrenaline can do amazing things. And there are deeper
functions, far deeper, the functions such as the amygdala which trigger this
from a whole set of instinctual drives and structures which normally lie
dormant in our quiet and safe existence. Genes and epigenetic factors can
be activated by archetypal biological threats to our existence. There is
even evidence that these situations can cause adaptive mutations during
procreation.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Have we become oblivious to threats, like
birds who lived for millions of years in the absence of predators, lost the
power of flight and then were wiped out by the introduction of rats? Have
all our alpha males who would historically seek to defend their people been
exterminated by the world wars of the twentieth century? </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Or is there still within us left a kernel of
survival instinct? Is there a seed within the decaying compost heap of
our once great civilisation ready to swell and spring forth into the
light? Perhaps a sapling already exists yet to be revealed, like the
offspring of Nimloth the Fair which Gandalf showed to Aragorn upon the
establishment of his kingdom.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I believe that there yet is. The Logos
of our people, which is reason, and honour, courage and virtue still exists in
our hearts and our imaginations. Europe must not be allowed to drown in
the chaos of unreason which would be visited upon us should Islam be allowed to
continue to grow, and thus triumph.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is perhaps the most crucial hinge in all
of human history so far upon which the future will depend. Reason against
chaos. But we should not imagine that Reason alone will save us.
Aristotle said that Reason of itself does not move to action. Motive
desire is required. We have that, and the action which it must generate
is what shall save us. And Reason tells us that sometimes we must resist
chaos with force. Islam demands ‘Submission’ and thus it is bounden on us
to <i>resist.</i></span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I would not be the first to suggest that
should Islam win in the current struggle, the future of human civilisation on
this planet would stand in jeopardy, that it would stagnate for centuries like
it did under the Ottomans, perhaps for millennia, perhaps forever. I am reminded of
O’Brien in Orwell’s <i>1984</i></span><span style="font-size: small;"> who saw the future as a boot grinding on the
face of humanity forever. Islam is the perfect tool for that, one step
beyond Communism since it involves theocratic loyalty.</span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And thus it is heartening to see the emergent
archetype of the future of our civilisation expressed in strong and dominant
figures who will not back down from the defence of their people, in the case of
Hungary’s Viktor Orban, or from the defence of law and the boundaries of his
country in the case of Donald Trump. It is no surprise that their
opponents, the agents of Chaos, scream hysterical abuse at them, but have
nothing save lies, corrupted half truths and distortions.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The rising tide of awareness is behind these
emerging archetypal figures. It is hard to go back when you see the
truth. In the face of decay and the ingress of foreign demands we must
have a dominant Yang archetype of a strong masculine form, standing for Reason and Law, or else we
will fall to chaos like the Romans who opened their gates to the barbarians.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The archetype of Logos must be restored, or
it is the end of Western Civilisation.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Churchill Revisited</strong></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is a topic I have
been pondering upon for quite some while now, and have eventually decided to
take by the horns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are troubled
by having your assumptions challenged or by hearing things which are at odds
with the mainstream and conventional view of historical reality as we have had
it handed down to us, I would suggest that you refrain from reading any
further.</span><br />
</div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Since you have now begun
to read further I hope I may assume that you will confine yourself to rational
examination and analysis of the questions which I will put and the data which I
will refer to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do welcome comments,
but if you make a different interpretation of the evidence than I do I trust
you will couch your responses in reasonable terms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The mere fact that I ask a particular question, or draw certain
conclusions does not in itself make me a bad person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I may make poor logical inferences, and if so, I will accept that
this has been pointed out, if I am convinced that that is indeed the case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Asking open ended questions can only be
considered ‘Politically Incorrect’ by people who are afraid of what the answers
might be.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I make this lengthy
caveat because I have noticed a disturbing tendency amongst certain leftist and
‘social justice warrior’ communities to freak out and have emotional tantrums
when they see something that doesn’t conform to their own desired view of
reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m thinking here of the
students who claim to have been traumatised by seeing a Confederate flag.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Get over it kids, there are far worse things
out there than memories of a world that passed away more than a century and a
half ago.</span></div>

<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Okay, enough preamble. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
<!--[endif]--></span></span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was brought up in a
world where Winston S. Churchill, former Prime Minister of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland as well as the victorious war leader of World War II had
effectively been deified.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course in
the fading Christian world of the post-war era we did not think of it in such
terms, but had this been Rome, he would have been declared a god and temples
would have been built in his honour from the spoils of war.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not that there was much of in the way of
spoils in 1945.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
</div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Nonetheless, his position
as National Hero was unquestioned and unquestionable in the mood which was to
reign, although he is now perhaps beginning to fade since he no longer can be deployed quite so effectively.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I well recall how at my
boarding school on a cold grey Saturday morning in February of 1965 my class were
gathered in a teacher’s living room to watch the funeral on the standard blurry
black and white television of the era.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We heard Richard Dimbleby detail the progress of the cortege and saw the
cranes dip their heads to half mast as the barge went along the river.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Queen and Royal Family stood, dressed in
black, showing respect, a model for the nation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even now I find it moving to recall. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And so the ritual was
embedded in the national psyche.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Almost
twenty years after the end of the war it was finally put to bed before the eyes
of the next generation, enshrined as inviolable in our hearts, akin to Nelson.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
<!--[endif]--></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"></span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hagiographies were
written, and in time even some critical works.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These usually confined themselves to his earlier failures and more
reprehensible actions, such as the Dardanelles incident or the gassing of the
Kurds in the 1920s, and if they encroached on the Second World War limited
themselves to tactical errors such as the ill fated Norway raid of 1940.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He might have made mistakes, but his over
arching greatness, his fidelity to his nation, his achievement in saving the
British Empire, and indeed as he himself had claimed, Christendom itself, from
the barbarism of Germanic expansionism, could not be doubted.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And so the legend, having
been created, built myth upon itself so that to doubt was to be condemned as
mad, a follower of the Enemy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So well
has this edifice been maintained and consolidated that even those who did doubt
or who sought to challenge it while it was being constructed were so
marginalised that they are almost unknown to most.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I gradually began to
become aware that such a thing as revisionism of the accounts of World War II
existed in the mid-90s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This seemed
absurd to me, and, automatically assuming for the conventional view, didn’t
bother to look into the claims of David Irving, the only name I was aware
of.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The internet was just being born at
the time, and it would be almost a couple of decades before I was to come back
to the subject with the advantage of a vastly proliferated web and research
resources that one could barely have imagined in the old century.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And so my curiosity
slept.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I recall that as recently as
early 2014 I had had conversations in which the assumption of the absolute
moral rectitude and honesty of Churchill was implicitly embedded. <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But material had already
passed across my screen which I should have thought more upon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As long ago as late 2012 I saw the David
Cole videos which he had made in Auschwitz about twenty years earlier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>David Cole was a young Jewish man who had
concerns about the official accounts of the Auschwitz story and had gone there
with a video camera and plenty of questions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I won’t detail his findings here, as it is much better that you look at
his primary evidence first hand, rather than through the lens of my reporting
of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will say however, that as a
person of Jewish heritage he was able to gain access to accounts which expand
upon the accepted narrative a little. </span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">More information on this
was probably available at the time, but I neglected to research it further,
partly I suppose because the implications were so massive. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Then, in 2014, something
more than a year ago, a whole bunch of new material started coming into the
orbit of my internet surfing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Curious
facts would surface, such as that Stalin’s USSR invaded and annexed eastern
Poland some two weeks after Hitler’s Germany had annexed the western side of
that country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found myself wondering
why this had never been mentioned in all the years that I had seen
documentaries on WWII or read about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Perhaps it was mentioned occasionally, but it certainly never achieved
anywhere near the prominence of the German actions which had allowed Britain to
declare war against them on September 3<sup>rd</sup> 1939.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The basis for this was the recently
established pact between Britain and Poland in which the greater power
guaranteed to come to the aid of the lesser in the event of military aggression
against her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And yet Britain did not
follow by declaring war on the Soviet Union, when they picked up the remaining
part of Poland, thereby failing in her treaty obligation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The USSR was implicated again when I came across the Suvarov evidence from the '90s which exposed the high probability that Germany's attack on Russia in 1941 was prompted by intelligence that Stalin was planning to attack Germany and that this was a pre-emptive attack which otherwise would not have taken place. The Red Army records of the huge numbers of tanks and troops which had already been massing show only maps and plans for forward engagement, not purely defensive action as had always been claimed.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am fortunate enough to
own a complete set of Churchill’s <em>The Second World War</em> (6 vols) in the first
edition, which I inherited from my father, who played his own part in that
conflict.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The presence of this work on
the bookshelf as I grew up was a perpetual reinforcement of the zeitgeist into
which I was born. <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And yet in vol I: <em>The
Gathering Storm</em> (p351), Churchill quotes at length from a paper he gave to the
Cabinet on Sept 25<sup>th</sup> of 1939 in which he is explicit that ‘the
Russians were guilty of the grossest bad faith’ nonetheless he goes on to state
that ‘Of course we should prefer that all these countries [Russia, Roumania,
Yugo-Slavia] should fall upon the common foe, Nazi Germany.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hang on a moment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wasn’t the pact with Poland intended for the
defence of that country rather than as a means to harass Germany?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why was there not an equal complaint against
Stalin as there was against Hitler?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why
would not Britain declare war on Russia for its annexation of east Poland?</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Declaring war on Russia
would have been a dangerous and risky move, but it is not that simple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is clear from his own paper to Cabinet,
in his own account of the War, that is considered definitive, that despite
actions in bad faith, Churchill sees Russia as a potential ally, and is already
seeking to leverage it into the service of his own agenda.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I think we should understand that Poland,
who as a nation have long expressed their gratitude to Britain for its position
in 1939, was actually nothing more than a tool in Churchill’s employ for the
purpose of the destruction of Germany.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Not that war was Churchill’s decision since he was not yet PM, but he
had been beating the war drum for so long that Chamberlain was cornered by the war
party.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Poland, which did not see
freedom and independence in 1945, but servitude to Stalin’s Soviet Union, was
sacrificed on the way to the greater objective, having been entrapped by the
British hawks, tempted by the offer of the treaty alliance.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">

</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I am reminded at this
point of the famous saying ‘History is written by the victors’, which I only
recently discovered was made by WS Churchill himself and none other. And the
six volume History of the Second World War was long considered the definitive
work on that historical period.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I
feel that he gives himself away with what is nothing more nor less than a
boast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘<b><i>I</i></b> wrote the
history, and <b><i>my</i></b> version, the one that justifies all my actions
and glorifies me as the hero, is the one that will go down as what is
remembered.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is ironic to me that
his arch enemy, Adolf Hitler, wrote, (before the previous quotation was made I
assume) ‘The victor will not be asked if he told the truth.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sour grapes from the one who could see he
was about to lose, many might say, but a true statement regardless, and a
curious counterpoint to Churchill’s remark.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Or perhaps Churchill’s was a deliberate riposte to his enemy's?</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">One thing about
Churchill’s magnum opus is his thorough documentation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Obviously he had written many of the
documents himself and was present at all War Cabinet meetings and so forth, so
he already knew the material and had private clearance
even though he was no longer Prime Minister during the late forties when he
wrote the work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And so it is that
sometimes he can’t avoid letting slip the truth of his position.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has been banging on the drum of war
against Germany for so long that he has ignored and is ignoring the great threat
of the Russian Bear.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Let us review the Big
Picture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>War was declared on Germany to
defend Poland.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Russia also annexes half
of Poland or so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And yet, when the war
is all over and the dust settles, not only has Poland now been entirely
occupied by the USSR, but also most of eastern Europe along with it,
who had all been autonomous nations in the inter war period following the
collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the end of the Second Reich but are
now Soviet satellites states which will have to wait some 44 years for their
liberation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The five years of hot war
were followed by the decades of the Cold War.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This then was a factor
that I saw from a different perspective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And Stalin is somehow exonerated of Poland, even though he has it as prize.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But this was only the
first step in my questioning process.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">At the beginning of
volume VI <em>Triumph and Tragedy</em>, there is a note from the author that the book
had been completed in 1951 but not ready for publication because his ‘other
duties’ (as Prime Minister 1951-55) had confined him to the ‘general supervision of the
process of checking the statements of fact contained in these pages’.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As I have already
suggested, this work is thoroughly referenced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are detailed maps of campaigns and military movements, Appendices
in each volume of correspondence and documents, as well as a full index to each
as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whatever one may think of
Churchill as a person, as a politician, one cannot argue with the fact that he
was a phenomenal intellect and writer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He was awarded the Nobel Prize for this work when it was finally
completed, and a stupendous work it is too.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">However, the very
comprehensive and rigorously documented nature of this work in itself betrays
some of the weaknesses in the legacy of the official narrative that we have all
had handed down to us in the intervening years.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So now we come to the
great politically incorrect controversy that I have spent so long hedging
around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About a year ago or so I saw it
stated somewhere that there is no reference in <em>The Second World War</em>, anywhere,
to anything pertaining to the Holocaust as it is now known.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A rather surprising fact when one holds in mind that this event is
considered by many today to be the greatest crime that has ever taken place in
world history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They like sometimes to
forget the Holodomor or the Armenian Genocide, but those are getting back on
the map these days at least, as documented occurrences.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Now I won’t claim to have
read the entire 4,000 pages or so of Sir Winston’s text, but I am aided in my
research by detailed précis at the beginning of each chapter and a copious
index.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no mention of
Auschwitz, Belsen, Treblinka or any other concentration camp that I have ever
heard the name of.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Now I am not for one
moment suggesting that these places did not exist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However it does surprise me that Churchill, who took every
available opportunity to denigrate Hitler, the National Socialist regime and
even the German people and nation generally, made absolutely no mention of them
whatsoever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Forgive me if I imagine
myself saying that in my best Maggie Smith Miss Jean Brodie voice.)</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The concentration camps
may not have been part of the military campaigns or the political wranglings
before, during or after the war, but it is astonishing that they simply are not
mentioned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do feel strongly that
Churchill would have made a meal of this had he chosen to, but he chose not to.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Why?</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Perhaps his near
obsession with documentation has something to do with it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The history ends with the Potsdam Conference
at which point he bowed out after losing the General Election of July 25<sup>th</sup>
1945, and so the Nuremberg trials are not covered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Had there been documents
which he could have referred to about the liberation of the camps and the
conditions found therein, or even simple news reports which would have
supported the historical view which has come to be accepted, there can be
little doubt that he would have used them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There were some newsreels but these were vague and failed to distinguish
between deliberate deaths, starvation and the results of the typhus epidemics
which apparently had been raging in the camps for some time with shortages of
medicine and foods. But he was wise enough not to refer to them as he doubtless
knew that documentation could be tracked and examined.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Probably better just to leave out material
that might be questionable.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">His partiality becomes
more obvious when one scratches a little further at the veneer he created.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Chapter XXXIII, <em>The Liberation of Western
Europe</em>, the penultimate paragraph of less than a page <em>‘The Onslaught of Our
Strategic Air Forces’</em> makes no mention of the fire bombing of cities such as
Hamburg, Dresden and others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He does
however make reference to the bombing of transportation and industry.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The actual holocaust of
Dresden is an historical event at which even now apologists for Allied war
crimes will blanch and try to change the subject.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have attempted to change the numbers of dead repeatedly over
the years, claiming that the figure of some 25,000 bodies <b><i>identified</i></b>
immediately afterwards is the total figure, when it is quite plain that tens of
thousands more at least perished in such a way that they were reduced to dust
in the firestorm which raged following the deliberate fire bombing and could
not be counted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Churchill had authorised
‘Bomber’ Harris in this crime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">One reason which comes to
mind as to why he may have wished to minimise the thoughts of the reader when
it came to the bombing of Germany is that the transportation and supply routes
to the concentration camps were badly hit and so the camps suffered from a
dearth of food and materials.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Certainly
it is no secret that German civilians suffered from food shortages in the later
stages of the war.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But Churchill steers
clear of subjects which might prove awkward, and leaves them aside perhaps
hoping that they will not be noticed or picked up.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I am of the understanding
that there are historians who have found other holes in Churchill’s work,
mostly in pointing out omissions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However the absence of the ‘Death Camps’ is surely the most egregious of
these.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It is somewhat more
surprising then, to read that apparently the ‘Holocaust’ as it has come down to
us today, was not referred to as such until after 1970.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although the Jewish Encyclopedia of 1970
mentions concentration camps and gives numbers of deaths (less than six
million) the words Holocaust and Shoah are not mentioned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Similar is the case with the Encyclopaedia
Britannica of a couple of years later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Certainly it is the case that when I was at school in the 1960s and ’70s
I don’t recall hearing about it other than that people had died in the
concentration camps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So what we are
witnessing from this evidence is that there has been considerable mythologizing
of the event, despite the fact that after the early nineties fall of the USSR
the figures for those who died in the camps were seriously revised downwards. (See David Cole material.)</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is all a bit
troubling if one is concerned for historical sources and accuracy, since there
were definitely people found guilty of mass murder in the Nuremberg Trials
immediately following the war.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This in
itself turns out to be something of a rabbit hole since it was declared at the
beginning of the tribunal that normal judicial rules of evidence would be
waived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Combined with a now widespread
recognition that many confessions were extracted from German prisoners under
duress of torture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The methods used are
so vile that I shan’t detail them here, you can research the subject yourself
if you are curious about the detail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Also it is disappointing to find that long debunked horror stories such
as lampshades made of human skin and soap made from rendered bodies are still
being circulated by people who should know better.

<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So an alternate picture
begins to emerge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Evidence which was
not subject to normal judicial standards, and which was extracted under torture
was accepted in the trial against the accused.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Churchill takes advantage of the fact that the trials were made after he
had left office and makes no mention of the camps which <i>were</i> liberated
whilst he was still Prime Minister, as well as avoiding mentioning his own war
crimes against civilians which contributed to starvation at the camps.</span></div>

the victor’.</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Indeed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the very least we can see that Churchill
excuses himself, and avoids evidence which might look bad for his own side,
while letting slip that his principle objective was to bring down Germany
rather than to protect his allies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Indeed his vendetta against Germany led him to press for the betrayal of Poland to the Soviet Union, something he consolidated later.
</span>Despite not being PM until May 1940 he clearly sees himself as a major
mover and shaker behind the scenes, if only in shaping the narrative, and when
he had the opportunity<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">He also sidesteps issues
which could get complicated if the evidence were to be examined too
closely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Better to let the evolving
narrative deal with such matters in the newspapers, the newsreels and the
emerging new medium of television, where, as Orwell suggested writing his
landmark <i>1984</i> in 1948, the narrative could be rewritten every time it
was needed, and so evolved by a tiptoe of inches at a time from what was a somewhat
speculative original, to the solidity of that we have come to know through
endless reiteration.</span></div>

help us to understand many things if we can peek behind the mask and gain some
insights into his deeper motivations, which I suggest were not as noble as he
liked to avow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said that it was his great
life’s mission to protect and save the British Empire and Christian civilisation,
yet the former was gone within his lifetime, and he did little for the latter.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">War is over if
you want it?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I saw this
John Lennon video posted on Facebook the other day and was flabbergasted to
think that people are still proposing that ‘War is over if you want it’, and
are prepared to use this meme to dismiss those who question it.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The YouTube
video is almost identical.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There are two
sides to this question, at least as I perceive it.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Firstly, how
does this work?<span> </span>What I mean by this is
how does wanting war to be over make it happen?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And secondly,
assuming that what John Lennon was proposing was some kind of pacifism, what
are the likely outcomes of such a behaviour.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But we must
address that first question first.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">How does it
work?<span> </span>For myself, I can say that I
would like ‘War to be over’, in fact I very much want it.<span> </span>A million people wanted it to not even start
twelve years ago and thronged the streets of London in an effort to prevent it,
but it still went ahead because a small number of people at the top wanted it.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I’m willing to
wager that there are a good many people in the Middle East who would also like
war to be over, I’m sure that they want this much more fervently than I, since
I am not embroiled in a war situation and it is only a notional idea for me,
whereas for those others it is a pressing daily reality.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This reminds
me of a popular version of the ‘Law of Attraction’ which claims that you
attract things by thinking about them.<span>
</span>Well, that is the first stage of the process of manifestation, but if
that is all we do, then I would guess that we are likely to remain in that
situation where the big wigs remain and carry on their wars.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My own
understanding of how to achieve success in the manifestation of one’s desires
is that having thought about them, and decided what you want, then you have to
do whatever might be required to bring about the process of material
realisation.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I don’t really
think this is controversial, it is just the way the material world works.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But what dear
old Johnny Lennon and Yoko Ono seem to be suggesting is that one should simply
not engage in these wars when they are started.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Frankly, I’m
staggered that highly educated people should still be engaging in such ideas
which seem to me to be so unsupported.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I recall
hearing this whole business as a teenager in the early seventies and even then
it was obvious to me that one person, or many, choosing not to engage in
fighting might be all very well, but that if there are those who don’t wish to
participate in that paradigm, and rather prefer to carry on the old ways of
aggression, then you can be as non-violent as you want, but those aggressors
will still carry out that aggression.<span>
</span>As Eowyn said in The Lord of the Rings ‘Those who do not wield a sword
may still die on one.’</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Um… isn’t this
obvious?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">During the
Second World War pacifists were allowed to register as ‘Conscientious
Objectors’, known colloquially as ‘conchies’, but were required to serve as
non-combatants in the likes of hospital corps and so forth.<span> </span>Clearly it is a wise decision to not have
pacifists on the front line who might lay down their arms and refuse to fight,
as this would endanger their fellows.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But for an
entire nation to refuse to fight would be another thing.<span> </span>The advancing enemy would walk in across the
borders and take control without a shot being fired.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The
extraordinary thing about those who still propose the pacifist response is that
they will say things like ‘it’s never been tried’ or ‘you are stuck in outdated
thinking’.<span> </span>However, I would beg to
differ on this.<span> </span>History is littered
with examples of civilian populations who didn’t resist and were consequently
eliminated.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Attila the
Hun, Genghis Khan and countless others have swept through the open borders of
peasant territories unprotected by lords or empires strong enough to repel the
invaders, and the peasants were put to the sword, their womenfolk raped and
taken into sexual slavery.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Thousands of
Christians who did not resist were murdered by Romans or put to the lions in
the Colosseum.<span> </span>It was some two hundred
and fifty years after Nero first did this to them when Constantine declared
Christianity to be the official religion of the Roman Empire.<span> </span>That’s a lot of dead Christians along the
way in between.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now, if, like
those Christians, you believe that by not resisting you are ensuring your
position in Heaven, or Paradise, then that is all very well for you, but some
might say that this is a selfish position to take as it involves abandoning
your kin, your tribe and culture for your own personal salvation.<span> </span>A similar attitude is present in some
varieties of Buddhism who seek personal ‘enlightenment’, the Buddhist
equivalent of Christian ‘salvation’, while others seek the ‘enlightenment’ of
the whole Universe and all sentient being within it.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The
fundamental point to be made here is that I cannot control the actions of
another.<span> </span>I may want certain things, and
I may believe that performing or not performing certain actions will bring
these things about, but ignoring the possible interference of ‘The Other’ on
the outcomes you seek is to fail to see the whole picture.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This appeared
obvious to me as a teenager and I couldn’t understand why no-one called Lennon
out on this.<span> </span>You lay down your arms and
refuse to fight when the enemy attacks you, and you will be trampled in the
dust.<span> </span>I’m all for non-cooperation
insofar as this might be possible, especially in cases where one’s own side is
engaging in unprovoked aggression, sure, that is fine, but conflict is often
complicated, and to refuse to respond when the aggression is directed against
oneself is simply not survival adaptive.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So far as I
can make out, the only way this could work is if everyone, all at the same
time, decided not to fight.<span> </span>The game
theory model would indicate that a failure of <i>all</i> to participate in
collective pacifism will lead to those who don’t gaining the upper hand, due to
the asymmetry of the situation.<span> </span>These
are very simple, and practical considerations.</span></span></div>

addition.<span> </span>The poster of this video,
Palden Jenkins, who as a young man knew Lennon in Liverpool has detailed in a
reply what I would summarise as ‘confidence building measures’ as the way to
world peace.<span> </span>I have no objection to
most of these measures, they are generally a good thing </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">> <span class="uficommentbody1n4g">You'd invest as much in diplomacy and broad-spectrum
citizen diplomacy as you invest in military issues, and you would manage
international relations in ways that do not lead to conflict. You would work on
the tone and purpose of the media and education to reduce and eliminate
negative projection on others and nationalist and divisive incitement. You
would highlight the fact that war is no longer economic, except to minority
vested interests, who are themselves no longer economic to the majority.
There's a whole range of measures that can be taken.<</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Apart from the
neuro-linguistic association of ‘nationalism’ with ‘incitement’ I have no
problem with this, but it is too simplistic.<span>
</span>Do we really think that those who control the media and the military
industrial complex etc etc etc would engage in this wholeheartedly and
unreservedly?<span> </span>Would there never be
anyone who might try to cheat, or even just create wiggle room to give their
own group some advantage?<span> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I recall the
assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, the only Israeli politician that has ever
appeared, to me at least, to have seriously engaged with the possibility of a
genuine and balanced peace and pursued such confidence building measures with
the Palestinians.<span> </span>No sympathetic
backlash against the anti-peace constituency ensued, sweeping the peace
measures through in the way that the IRA bomb which assassinated Airey Neave
helped to cement Margaret Thatcher’s election; rather it seemed to be the
starting signal for a new push for colonisation of Palestinian lands and
pressure on that people.<span> </span>We may see
that that was the day the Oslo accords truly ended.<span> </span></span></span></div>

are against peace, it is those who covertly seek to undermine co-operation who
do that, those who seek to cause conflict and destroy our societies with crazy

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And yet the
advocates of Lennon style pacifism won’t look at the inevitability of people
taking advantage of the passivity or non-resistance of others.<span> </span>All they seem to propose so far as I can
gather is to call names at those who seek to be able to defend themselves and
try to make them feel guilty about taking responsibility for their own self
defence and survival.</span></span></div>

greatly that this thought virus is still so present in our society, in fact is
more virulent and present than it ever seems to have been, and so I take the
opportunity here to do my best to contribute to its end.<span> </span>I still like much of John Lennon’s music

failed to understand on examination how pacifism can be an effective means of
establishing or maintaining peace, I turn now to our second question, what will
be its outcome?<span> </span>I can only offer
rhetorical enquiries, the outcome seems so obvious.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">How can
non-resistance to the enemy possibly lead to peace?<span> </span>Can it do anything other than ensure victory to the aggressor?</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is the point
at which most pacifists seem to break off, either refusing to engage with the
debate or offering some choice epithet about my moral standing.<span> </span>But I am a serious philosopher and I want
answers, or at least further discussion of the premises and reasoning involved
so that we may get closer to some answers.<span>
</span>I am highly disappointed that people who have graduated from top
universities and even written books are unwilling to take on these points and
respond in some way.<span> </span>The usual refusal
to discuss these most obvious of points seems to indicate some sort of ‘Virtue
Signalling’, that is, that they consider my argument to be beneath them because
they are of a much higher moral standing, and <i>believe in the goodness of all
people so that I am to be implied as somehow unkind, uncharitable, mean and
cynical.</i><span> </span>Not to be touched.<span> </span>In a world in which they argue that there
are no enemies, those who critique pacifism are made the enemy.<span> </span>Not because of the content of the argument,
which is not addressed, but because of the implied character of the
person.<span> </span>Self defence is seen as
aggression.<span> </span>This is an attitude which
if inculcated and brainwashed into the population sufficiently can remove or at
least negate the natural will to defend territory.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Sun Tzu in his
classic ‘The Art of War’ says that the best victory is one which is fought
without a battle.<span> </span>He also recommends
that the enemy should be demoralised so as to impair their ability to resist.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It’s an
astonishing sleight of hand and trompe l’oeil.<span>
</span>Peoples who have maintained identities through the turbulence of
hundreds of years of wars have been persuaded that it is wrong to resist ‘The
Other’, that it is wrong to maintain any sort of unique identity, or a border
against strangers, and that we can all look forward to living in a world with
‘no countries and a brotherhood of man’ if only people would stop being so
selfish as to maintain their heritage and identities.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Self defence
is considered bad by the passivists, while it is the actual aggressors to whom
they should be giving their attention.<span>
</span>As is so often the case with ideas that fit the Cultural Marxist mode,
natural law is made upside down and back to front.<span> </span>Passivists aren’t passive when it comes to attacking those who
believe in self defence and natural law, because this only hides the fact that
their entire philosophy is based on projection of their own shadow nature.</span></span></div>

shouldn’t defend ourselves, but they attack us.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">They claim
that nations and peoples maintaining strong borders and boundaries are being
aggressive in so doing, while for most of the time these borders act as
defensive and administrative structures.<span>
</span>The international communist nature of pacifism becomes clear at this
stage.<span> </span>Endless and uncontrolled
movements of peoples claiming residence, housing, benefits, health care,
education and so forth in lands where they have no heritage or ancestry amounts
in my eyes to international communism.<span>
</span>It is clearly the antithesis of national identity, which the pacifists
and communists seem to have in common as their enemy, along with the Green
Party who seek as ‘an aspiration’ that borders should become ‘obsolete’ and
that anyone should be able to settle anywhere they like.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And so
Pacifism, or ‘Passivism’ as I now prefer to call it, is no more than a tool of
the crypto-authoritarian left, who would abandon us to the anarchy of
non-resistance in order that they may rescue us with a World Government.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I don’t think
John Lennon really understood this, but rather that this was an idea which he
had had seeded to him somewhere along the line, perhaps the Maharishi Mahesh
Yogi, or one of the many CIA and MK Ultra plants and infiltrators that he was
exposed to over the course of his career.<span>
</span>But he was a high profile and influential person and so even though he
himself was trying to break out of the net that had been placed around him, it
is no surprise that he played into their hands with this one.<span> </span>Probably the most remarkable thing about the
whole affair is that I don’t think I have ever seen a rational critique of the
War is Over if You Want It meme in all the years since it was first made.<span> </span>It has just become an emotional weapon to use
against those of us who live in the world of diverse peoples with different
interests and who recognise that there will be competition and sometimes
conflict between them.<span> </span>This is how
nature works, but we are expected to leave that behind for the promise of
Paradise, whether in this world or the next, even though there is no formal
game plan, no road map, no fall back and certainly no guarantees.<span> </span>It is an argument of mere wish fulfilment
fantasy, not a practical methodology based on known principles of natural
law.<span> </span>It is an example of the Fabian
doctrine of ‘destroying the world to remake it more closely to their desire.’</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Personally,
I’d like to see us progress by fine tuning our societies so that they more
fully and harmoniously reflect the laws of nature with interlocking groups who
have shared ancestries and cultures, than attempt to rewrite those laws of
nature according to how a limited human mind thinks they should work in order
to be more moral.<span> </span>Pacifism is a walk
off a cliff.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoBodyTextIndent">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Altruism is a concept which it is very important to
be able to understand in our current situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may have heard of ‘Pathological Altruism’ as it is proposed
by Professor Kevin MacDonald, but if you don’t understand basic Altruism to
start with, then the ‘weaponised’ pathological variety will be harder to grasp.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I remember a
tutorial I had with my own tutor in Psychology, Dr (now Professor) John
Blundell on this subject about forty years ago now, when I was an
undergraduate.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Is Altruism an
attitude and behaviour that has evolved as part of our biological adaptation
and ingrained in our genetic heritage, or is it merely a modern social
invention arising from religions, or social construction in recent times?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">To investigate
this question we need to look at what exactly ‘altruistic’ behaviour is and how
it works.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The simple
version of altruism is when someone does something for another without hope or
expectation of immediate reward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
remember like it was yesterday the discussion in our tutorial in which some
argued that a ‘delayed gratification’ model of altruism in which the actor
anticipated some payback at a later date was merely disguised selfishness and
that therefore ‘altruism’ had no real existence, or at least not in the sense
that we first understood it ~ ‘Unselfish Behaviour’.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">One should not
be too hard on a bunch of twenty year old undergrads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Cultural Marxist indoctrination was less severe back in the
mid seventies than it is today, but nonetheless a fairly good job had already
been done over centuries, and even millennia, in persuading people to believe
that humans are fundamentally selfish and grasping creatures who would sell
their mothers for a pittance.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A small
percentage of our population, commonly known as psychopaths, or the better
camouflaged sociopaths, do indeed have such characteristics, but their numbers
are small, in the region of 3-5% of the general population. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There may well
be good reason in evolutionary survival adaptation terms for such a group to
exist, but if the other 95% or so all behaved like that as well, over hundreds
of thousands of years of evolutionary time, then it would be seriously
counter-survival adaptive, at least in some environmental situations.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Social animals
such as humans need to develop group psychologies which enhance their survival
prospects, and so giving a gift of free energy of some sort to another is part
of the group cohesion and reinforcement strategy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our ancestors lived in tribal or extended family groups in which
everyone was kin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We must see
ourselves as group organisms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Individuation is an important developmental process, but should be seen
as the maturation of cells within an organism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The survival of the group is the principle purpose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Things that individuals might do which
benefit the tribe or other individuals within it increase the strength and
wellbeing of the tribe and so are both reinforced in social behaviour, and
selected for in reproduction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus
genetically inherited dispositions to group support is reinforced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is
important to remember that different circumstances may lead to different
adapted characteristics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The altruistic
group behaviour described is likely to be more successful in northern
environmental conditions because of the co-operative imperative to prepare for
winter, whereas hot desert cultures might use dominance strategies to control
limited resources such as water and have different approaches to social
cohesion. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Regardless,
the strategy which has evolved for whatever group is designed <i>for that group
in their historic environment</i> and not for another in a different ecological
relationship to that environment.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Thus it is
essential to understand that altruism is an evolutionary strategy which is
based on <i>in group preference</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That is simply to say that it prefers itself, and does so because that
way it reinforces and thus perpetuates itself.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is the
evolutionary basis of altruism, and when versions of altruism are instituted
which are based on abstract principle rather than evolutionary function, we
find ourselves coming unstuck.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">One can
imagine a culture strong enough to have energy to spare for a lost stranger, or
shipwrecked sailors such as those of the Armada became on the west coast of
Ireland.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But here lies the rub.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One stranger is no threat, and evokes
sympathy, shipwrecked sailors the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But those same shipwrecked sailors were a short time before aggressors
poised to invade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lost stranger may
seem different if he opens the door in the night and lets in his band of
robbers to loot and murder those who have taken him in.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And this is
where altruism meets its limits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since
it is, in its essence, a group survival strategy, a psychology of group self
perception that is biologically encoded, then the moment this is extended to
more than the most limited amount of outsiders it endangers itself.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is the
‘Pathological Altruism’ which Professor MacDonald has proposed and which is
only an expression of logical evolutionary imperatives.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">What is of
concern is those of universalist religions who claim that there should be no
in-group preferences, or that only certain groups should be allowed them.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Allow me a
digression for the purpose of illustration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In my garden I have many different plants and beds and pathways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can never keep it all under control, but
there are certain parts which I prioritise so that I never let them become
completely overgrown, like some other parts which I rarely cut back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have to keep certain vigorous plants from
ever getting into my more tidily kept beds because they would overrun the less
aggressive plants which are all coexisting together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I was ‘altruistic’ to these plants then I would disadvantage
and endanger the others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One might also
point out that if I were to plant some of my shyer and more tender plants in
the rough where the aggressive rampant weeds are, they would not survive long,
because they are not adapted to that kind of competition.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I am seeing
quite a lot of criticism of the position of the current Pope who is exposing
the weakest and most vulnerable aspect of Christianity at present.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He openly has stated that he seeks to
emulate St Francis, and appears to be trying to force us all to do the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But while it is one thing for an individual
or his followers to explore such a spiritual path voluntarily in service to the
world, to seek to impose it on us all is a tyranny.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There seems to
be something of a co-ordinated attempt to enforce this universalist view on the
world at present.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a thought virus
reminiscent of the 1968 Cultural Revolution in China, which seeks to overturn
every single example or reminder of what conventional culture has been since
time immemorial.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The only
consolation is the knowledge that this cannot last forever, since it stands
against natural law.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Boundaries do
exist in nature, there are cell walls and different streams of energy, going
different ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Organisms compete.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are not All One, we are the myriad parts
within <i>One System.</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If those
parts were all the same then the system would cease to have any meaning.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Altruism
exists to promote the groups within which it has evolved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A successful and generous culture which has
this characteristic is able to help others, and this is not a bad thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, what is presently being pressed on
us very strongly is not only an excess of generosity to outgroups but a dearth
of generosity to our own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To sacrifice
one’s own people and culture for those people who see you as no more than an
opportunity to be exploited is not altruism, it is suicide.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Christians
who follow Pope Francis’s urgings are doing two things here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are forcing us all to suffer the
consequences of their moral obsession, whilst simultaneously ‘virtue
signalling’ to the rest of us how righteous they are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my own personal experience the most vocal on this subject, and
those most critical of us who question the practicality of unbounded altruism,
are those who are least likely to be found anywhere near a migrant, and
certainly are not inviting them into their own homes, but are rather advocating
that others do so, and that others pay for it.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is to me
no more than Pharisaic hypocrisy, and a delusion which we must not allow
ourselves to be influenced by.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We must
return to the evolutionary survival imperatives which served us in the past,
not abandon them to some speculative theory of the universalists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To suggest that we should not put our own
kin first is an abomination which goes against nature.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Altruism
should not be seen as an abstract ideal, but as a practical ethical behaviour
to your own tribe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can be summed up
in but four words of an ancient proverb ~ <i>Charity begins at home.</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Charity in the sense that the Christians use
it, <i>karitas</i> ‘affection’ or ‘love of one’s fellow’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If one chooses to ignore the needs of kin,
and put strangers first then there is something seriously awry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We don’t even need to touch on the predatory

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">‘Altruism’

<div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The War on Terror</span></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I dare say that the words in
the title are ones that we have all seen too many times over the last fourteen
years or so.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Apart from the
obvious meaning that we are all supposed to think of one may suspect that there
are other meanings hidden beneath the surface.<span>
</span>The ‘War on Terra’ ~ i.e. War on the Planet is one of the more obvious,
as well as the fact that it is clearly as much of a War <i>of</i> Terror as one
against ‘Terror’ itself, and we needn’t get into <i>who exactly</i> it is who
is responsible for these atrocities.<span> </span>I
hope my readers will be sufficiently experienced with researching material on
the net to have spent a little time on that.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But the latest interpretation upon which I have
stumbled is a little more recherché than these, and was inspired by my recent
encounter with a lecture collection by Joseph Campbell.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">One of the many points which stuck in my mind was
what he said about how the Universe is terrifying, and that is part of its
nature.<span> </span>I also liked the reference to
the Bhagavad Gita which he made, already one of my personal favourites, and in
the translation he chose Krishna’s admonition to Arjuna comes out as ‘Whence
[comes] this ignoble cowardice?’</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Facing as he did his cousins the Kauravas who were
preparing to fight Arjuna and the Pandavas to the death, Krishna is urging him
to face up to reality and take responsibility for his action in the situation ~
even though it was <i>terrifying.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have always liked a story I heard a long time ago
about how mediaeval magicians and alchemists believed that the best way to
master a demon is to look it in the eye and name it, rather than to flee.<span> </span>Fleeing may be appropriate to some physical
dangers, and often is, but fleeing from one’s own inner demons is an example of
the <i>ignoble cowardice</i> that Arjuna is criticised for by Krishna.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">An insight which grew on me over many years was the
understanding that as we grow in wisdom and power we gain mastery over greater
energies.<span> </span>But it is actually the case
that the more beyond and outside our own limitations we stretch ourselves, the
greater we grow, the more we understand, and the wiser we become.<span> </span>Within certain guidelines of practicality of
course.<span> </span>But the more we deal with, the
more we become.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I recall a key point which I picked up a few years ago
when I was going through some upgrades in my skills. <b><span> </span>Successful people do the things that
unsuccessful people are unwilling to do.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Facing terrifying things is difficult for most
people, but magicians and shamans are willing to face terror because it leads
them into places where others are not willing to go, and it teaches them things
that others are not willing to earn, or learn.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">One of the worst things about our modern world is
that everything is supposed to be safe.<span>
</span>Not only physical things, I am not against safe toys and machines and so
forth, but an absolute unwillingness to engage in any form of risk, even at a
level of social discourse.<span> </span>The pathetic
psychological weaklings who need to have trauma counselling because they saw a
Confederate flag are examples of this.<span>
</span>People who cannot accept any form of challenge to their worldview and
have extremely limited politically correct attitudes and expectations.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And what would they think of the <i>terror</i> of
existence?<span> </span>They would probably consider
it politically unacceptable.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So I come to my rather oblique interpretation of the
‘War on Terror’ meme which has been beaten into our psyches.<span> </span>The Terror of Existence is our friend,
because the more we can face it, the greater the challenges and terror we can face
and deal with in our daily lives.<span> </span>But
the ‘War on Terror’ which tries to shut down any challenge or difficulty puts
those who succumb to it in an utterly disempowered state.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The best way to overcome a phobia of say, spiders,
is to have graduated exposure to them so that the fear is extinguished through
the learning process that brings down the emotional response.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now the kind of things which we have associated as
‘terror’ events are of course bad and dangerous, and I wouldn’t for a moment
try to suggest that we shouldn’t be afraid of them, as I said above about
physical danger.<span> </span>But it is the mental
fear which needs to be overcome.<span> </span>One
may flee from the danger, but one must not flee from one’s own consciousness,
must not hide behind emotions that diminish us and turn us into cowering sheep.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So, face the Terror.<span> </span>This is what Frank <i>Herbert</i> meant in his Bene Gesserit
‘Litany Against Fear’.<span> </span><i>I will face
my fear.<span> </span>I will allow it to pass over
me and through me, and when it has passed I will turn to see its path.<span> </span>Where it has gone there will be
nothing.<span> </span>Only I will remain.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is like that old adage ‘Death Walks Behind
You’.<span> </span>Fear is both Enemy and
Friend.<span> </span>Terror is a rite of passage
after which one becomes a stronger and more powerful being.<span> </span>Campbell says that we participate in the
Terror of the Universe, that human existence is Terrifying in itself, in its
existential reality.<span> </span>To make ‘War on <i>Terror</i>’
makes no sense.<span> </span>One cannot make war on
a fundamental aspect of the Universe, one can only manipulate perceptions so
that we feel afraid to face that aspect, cower before it, and thus lose the
strength and empowerment which it can imbue and endow us with since it is that
which can give us self knowledge.<span> </span>It is
a war on our ability to draw strength, to draw <i>courage</i> from that which
challenges us, to make us afraid to be wild, to be ourselves.<span> </span>And so the <i>War on Terror</i> is a war
upon the very nature of the human psyche itself.</span></span></div>

Here is the map of the campsite of the Hundredth Monkey event held in
the summer of 1995 near the Malvern Hills which can also be found in the
book and the ebook or kindle versions. Because it is small in the
paperback and there are also limitations with ebooks I've included this
image here which I think should be copyable and then you can enlarge it
and look at the detail.</span></span></span></div>

have aimed to reproduce the layout of tents, domes, marquees, caravans

late Bryony Glass, and my friend Brenda Gabriel who was also there.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Victimhood</span></span></b></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I first became aware of how
people would exploit their victimhood way back in the 1980s when I had a friend
who used to joke about how feminists classified people by their level of oppression;
so a woman was oppressed but a black woman was more oppressed, and so on. Nowadays we have endless spiels on the
intersectionality of oppressed classes and feminist analysis. The fact that our society actually funds
this stuff, (and gives the people who spout it moral privilege to abuse and
vilify) which no other society in the history of the world, ever, did, seems to
be a fact that eludes the people who pursue it, perhaps because it doesn’t
support their perpetual cries of their victimhood.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But I get ahead of myself. The situation I seek to analyse, deconstruct
and disarm of its weaponised content is that in which in our contemporary
western society a person can amplify their status by claiming some kind of
suffering or ‘victimhood’.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first thing I need to make
absolutely clear is that I am not promoting making people suffer, or promoting
‘victimisation’ in any way. This is
absolutely in no way the same thing.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The ‘Victim Mentality’ has
several different aspects. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Firstly, there is the feeling
that the subject has that they have been a victim in some way. That’s not difficult, most people at some
stage in their lives have experienced some negative experience.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The next stage is the important
one. You could just get over it, or
deal with it constructively if it is a larger issue, which might involve taking
countermeasures such as legal recourse.
This may or may not be a good thing or satisfactory. The real negative downturn occurs when
someone decides that in some way this makes them unique, that they have
suffered more than others and that this is a mealticket, or at least something which can be used to exploit others. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This isn’t necessarily a
conscious decision, it can easily be an unconscious chip on the shoulder that
just gets in the way, a grudge that is borne as if it were natural.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What has happened over the last
half century or so is that this has become weaponised through the action of
Cultural Marxism. It is my firm
conviction that this must be deliberate, at least in those who seeded and promoted
these social attitudes.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is closely linked with
empathy. If someone finds that by
playing on their ‘victimhood’ of whatever form, that they can elicit ‘empathic’
behaviour from those around them, then that playing will be reinforced. Someone recently suggested to me that they
believed that Psychology was ‘no more scientific’ than Politics and
Sociology. And yet neither of these
forms of social study have anything approaching the strength of learning theory
as far back as a century or more, with Pavlov, Watson or Skinner. If you associate stimuli together, they will
be thought of together, and if a response is reinforced with a pleasurable
stimulus, a reward, then its recurrence will be encouraged. The cultural marxists know all about
negative reinforcement, because they employ it all the time in their name
calling, which is intended to ‘extinguish’ your behaviour, as the technical
term goes.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Feminists and teachers of Gender
Studies seem unaware of these basic scientific facts, other than the last.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am simply pointing out that
displays of ‘victimhood’ get rewarded, and so become more frequent, whereas
they claim that this is just social justice in action.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the root of this is
‘empathy’. We are told it is important
to be empathic. Certainly we as human
beings have the capacity for empathy, but if we are empathic with every
creature in the entire universe, we would never have the mental attention to
deal with our own concerns.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the summer of 1974, I took a
tab of LSD, of which there was plenty around at the time. I remember walking in some beautiful gardens
and it was lovely. I remember thinking
that I seemed to have no boundaries and felt that I was one with it all. When I came down a bit I realised that I had
for a while lost any sense of my ego or identity, and whilst it was an
extraordinary experience, was not one which it would be very practical to
experience very often, or in less pleasant conditions.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Empathy is like that. We see images of people suffering on our
screens. Images, which in a world
before photography, newsreels, tv or internet we simply would never see. Now, all of a sudden, millions of people are
looking at images of some poor starving child thousands of miles away.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This brings the opportunity for
guilt tripping in a big way. The media
manipulators are then on to us all to guilt us into how we should be ‘doing
something’ for these people, while they are entirely selective about which
suffering children they show to us. The
suffering homeless of our own people are rarely shown to us in such a way, or
the children of some state that is out of favour with the power elite.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘Victimhood’ is paraded before
us, and yet, because it is only on a screen, there is nothing we can actually
do, but feel bad about it, and perhaps reach for the credit card to make a donation.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now this weaponised guilt and
compassion extraction has been ramped up with ‘white guilt’, ‘privilege’, all
manner of vilifications against men and European culture and peoples. But here we see the point where it diverges
from its source. The suffering of
others may be something we can or can’t do something about, should or shouldn’t
do something about, but the weaponised form shoots its barbs right into your
entrails, because, whatever you do decide, <i>you are guilty!</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is a kind of ‘Original Sin’
which White people especially, and White Men most particularly, are apparently
guilty of. You may belong to an
ancestral group which has never had any association with colonisation, slavery
or exploitation of other peoples, but the very fact that you live in a
prosperous, well ordered and law abiding culture is in itself cause for attack,
because you aren’t suffering like the Victims!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is based on having to give way
to someone else’s pain and suffering.
This may have nothing to do with you at all. Or it may be self inflicted, or the result of living in a culture
where these things are commonplace. The
causes are irrelevant. The only thing
of importance is that people are made to feel bad about themselves, so that
they give away their power to those who claim to be victims, or more likely,
those who falsely claim to act in their interests.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A brief aside here. I have always thought it strange, perhaps
just because I understand the meaning of words, that when a child dies
prematurely, you often hear that ‘tributes’ are given. Tributes, are ‘a sign of respect or
admiration, an award to honour a person's accomplishments. A famous director
receives a lifetime achievement award as a <span style="color: #2d4038;">tribute…
etc’</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><a href="http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/tribute">http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/tribute</a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This displays something of the
inappropriate mindset of the victim mentality, which has to give a kind of
worship or applause to the sufferer. To
give ‘Tributes’ to a child who has no accomplishments, however much it might be
loved, is just an inappropriate concept which places value on someone simply
because they have suffered, and for no other reason.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So this valuing of suffering,
regardless of how or why it occurs, as some kind of personal achievement which
puts the subject above others who have not experienced that suffering, has
become a moral right in our society.
Even if someone dies while seeking to illegally enter another country
they are lionised as martyrs, though they might have caused the deaths of
others at the same time. It is as if
every single person on the planet were somehow deified like Jesus for having
suffered in some manner or other. And
meanwhile, this is used to disempower that person who has not suffered, or
apparently not.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The conditioning has been going
on so long that it is lost in the background.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And as with all Cultural Marxist
conditioning, the true values are upside down.
Sure, there are occasions when apologies or reparation might be of some
help, but the real triumph is in the hearts of those who can put their past
defeats behind them and go forward with neither bitterness nor resentment. The SPLC earns no plaudits for its endless
victim exploitation after forty years of Affirmative Action, and massive black
on white crime (I was astonished when I heard the figures). Muslims in Britain whine about the
‘oppressive’ history of the Crusades, but manage to forget the 1,400 year Jihad
against freedom and the civilisation of the West.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These people are cowards who
cannot win on the truth, so they have to work on disarming the minds of their
opponents. Although Sun Tzu, the author
of the ancient text ‘The Art of War’ might approve, since he recommends that to
win without fighting is the goal.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But the proponents of the Victim
mentality are essentially sore losers whose only recourse is to shout ‘No fair’
and the trouble is, that we are <i>so fair</i> that we <i>are</i> disarmed and
we stop defending ourselves in order to get into self examination and doubt and
start questioning whether we <i>had been</i> unfair.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As Stefan Molyneux <i>brilliantly</i>
demonstrates in this video, empathy given to someone who does not reciprocate
is wilful collaboration with the enemy.
They will suck you dry, as you give your all to convince them how

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I posted this video on a cultural
marxist thread I was commenting on, and I got a response which really made me
want to throw up, because it was the typical ‘this is how you become empathic
and if you don’t you are being inhuman and cruel’. If you <i>aren’t empathic all the time, you are a bad person.</i></span></span></div>

murderers and enslavers it seems. If we
aren’t then we are <i>racists!</i> We have been led down the path and deceived.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I would suggest that you look up John Woolman, a 17th Century Puritan who felt intense guilt that he cared more for his own children than for some unknown child who might (or might not) be starving on the other side of the world. This is a kind of neurosis, or perhaps even psychosis which has absolutely no survival adaptive value for the person who it afflicts, and is quite possibly counter adaptive in its distraction..<i> </i></span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cases should be judged on their
merits and we should not assume that everyone has good intentions. Even those can lead to hell as the saying
goes. I see memes admonishing us not to
judge people. Equally I wish we would
see memes admonishing us to not trust without that trust having been <i>earned</i>. Stefan’s example of not telling a murderer
who wanted to kill your wife where she is demonstrates clearly why we should
not feel obliged to tell the truth or be empathic with people who do not have
our best interests at heart, or whom we at least have reasonable doubts about.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I always found myself getting
twitchy watching episodes of Star Trek in which Picard or Janeaway would trust
an unknown alien vessel and drop their shields without any more reason than
saying that ‘a truly civilised race would be peaceful’ or asserting that
showing trust was a good thing as it encouraged the aliens to do the same
thing. I don’t know if Kirk ever did
that, I may be wrong, but I suspect it was a later development. Frankly, in a real situation that kind of
behaviour would be reckless, and probably in direct contravention of standing
orders..</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I can’t help feeling that there
are some manipulated religious concepts and feelings here. We have the ‘Original Sin’ of the White
Privileged, and the sanctification of the sufferers, like Dives and Lazarus in
the parable that Jesus gave of the poor man in Heaven and the Rich Man in
Hell. Perhaps the Rich Man deserved to
be in Hell, but surely not just for being rich, and perhaps Lazarus deserved
Heaven, but surely not just because he was poor.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After having been a Christian for
most of my life, off and on at least, a year or so ago I started to realise how
these kind of Christian tales and mythology weaken the mind so as to feel guilt
over things which are associated with success, and a feeling of somehow being
beholden to the ‘Victim’, who becomes sanctified. I have to reiterate that I am not defending cruelty or bad
treatment, but that ‘Victims’ can become so in an infinite variety of ways, and
if that involves becoming so in a way that was self caused, then no-one else
should feel guilt about it, but rather that person should take responsibility,
and not expect someone whom they can exploit to come and rescue them. Images of Africans on overladen rafts in the
Mediterranean come to mind.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In some cases of course, there is
not even any suffering or <i>real </i>victimhood. The endless moaning of feminists about a society in which women
are held in higher esteem than any other culture in the history of world, and in which men endure extreme
hardship to secure the safety of their women and children is wearisome. It is simply embarrassing to hear these
people playing the victim while they claim that men are becoming
‘obsolete’. Meanwhile almost all
construction and infrastructure maintenance is done by men, and often in harsh
and dangerous conditions.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The cries of ‘Victim’ have become
too shrill and hysterical to be taken seriously any more whether they come from
feminists, migrants or social justice warriors. It has become an exploitable meme that must be resisted at all
costs as it has become perhaps our prime weakness. Literally millions of people are attaching themselves to our
civilisation with no thought, as John Kennedy said, of ‘ask[ing] what you can
do for your country’ but only of how they can exploit it for their own ends,
which now are looking much like the conversion of our society into the one that
many of them came from.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And this from the exploitation of
our compassion for their suffering and victimhood.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
What they fail to understand is that there is a
psychological process that goes beyond compassion. When someone realises that their compassion has been played and
exploited the emotion is entirely reversed, and that is an absolutely natural
instinct for survival. That which has
betrayed you must be eliminated, or it will do it again.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
‘Other’ was coined as a philosophical concept by GFW Hegel some two centuries
ago as a counterpoint to the Self.<span> </span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">In modern
sociological and feminist discourse it has become a weaponised term. It is not, as someone once suggested to me, a typo of 'Mothering'!</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Society
is built of in-groups who have normative values and behaviours.<span> </span>This is the way that humans have
evolved.<span> </span>We might see it in early
nomadic ice age tribes, or in the guild structures of mediaeval towns.<span> </span>Ethnic groups have clustered together, just
as those of similar trade or economic standing have always done, or children,
women and men.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Modern
feminist debate often centres around demonising what they describe as
‘Othering’.<span> </span>To ‘Other’ someone is to
see them as ‘Other’ to your social group.<span>
</span>This is considered very bad by feminists.<span> </span>Since the current moral imperative is to be ‘inclusive’ and as
‘We Are All One’ we must not perceive anyone as ‘Other’ to ourselves, even if
they are a stranger.<span> </span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">As was
recognised by Hegel, ‘Otherness’ is a logically necessary concept in describing
the world if we are not to resort to solipsism, and yet modern thought seeks to
collapse the distinction between Inner and Outer, whether that be <i>psychologically</i>
Inner and Outer, or <i>materially.</i></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I have
been somewhat incredulous at the ludicrous extent to which this is politicised
and used as an attempted weapon of social control.<span> </span>This amusing little website claims that ‘There are no
others’.<span> </span>None at all.<span> </span>While it is admitted that ‘there’s a
powerful evolutionary drive to identify in some way with a tribe of people who are
“like you” ’ it nonetheless argues that this leads to an ‘insidious’
inclination to ‘other’ people.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span><a href="https://therearenoothers.wordpress.com/2011/12/28/othering-101-what-is-othering/">https://therearenoothers.wordpress.com/2011/12/28/othering-101-what-is-othering/</a></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Really
all it is saying is that the writer doesn’t like the fact that the creation of
in-groups as an evolutionary strategy exists.<span>
</span>This seems to be based on some kind of assumption that we have moved
beyond the need for such survival strategies.<span>
</span>Feminism sees any group which has achieved ‘hegemonic’ stature as
essentially ‘oppressive’, despite the fact that these kind of cultures provide
stable milieus for complex societies.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This
seems to me to be either a catastrophically naïve error or a purposefully
intended attempt to undermine what must be a basic survival instinct.<span> </span>Stay with those who are like yourself.<span> </span>They share your genes and your culture.<span> </span>If you stick together you have a better
chance of survival.<span> </span>Allowing strangers
into your midst engages unnecessary risk.<span>
</span>The ‘Other’ may in time become friend, but it needs to earn that trust,
that friendship.<span> </span>The feminist wants you
to give that trust without it having been earned, and if you don’t you are a
bad person.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I imagine
my reader will by now have surmised that there is a connection here with the
psychology of the migrant invasion in Europe, November 2015.<span> </span>The feminist sees the traditional protection
of territory as ‘Othering’ the outsider, despite the fact that limited resources
are a very important factor here.<span> </span>Since
in that ideology ‘There is no Other’ everyone is part of our own Global,
Universal Tribe in the Global Village.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">And yet
simple game theory will inform us that unless the incomer respects the values
of the group that it is accepted into, the system will collapse.<span> </span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This is a
classic Cultural Marxist move in which reality is inverted and the truth turned
upside down.<span> </span>In the long established
way of the world, life and evolution, creatures established their territories.<span> </span>The dominant members of these tribes and
clans would be responsible for defending them from ‘Others’;<span> </span>but now, the alpha males who previously were
responsible for maintaining the boundaries and protecting their people are now
made to be the enemy, and the enemies who would invade are encouraged to do so
and celebrated for it.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">What we
see taking place with various people in the aftermath of the Paris Bataclan
massacre who are urging us to take more refugees to show our compassion is a
pathological expression of this refusal to recognise the ‘Other’, or to see
beyond the immediate situation at the larger consequences of endless mixing
with it.<span> </span>The Muslims all know that we
are each Other to the Other, but too many Europeans delude themselves that this
is not so, that ‘There is no other’.<span>
</span>That to ‘Other’ someone is to dehumanise them.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">And so
the Liberal European population has been brainwashed into laying down their
arms, into refusing to stand up for themselves because we have to ‘treat others
as ourselves’.<span> </span>Everyone?<span> </span>Does that mean we have to give them all our
stuff?<span> </span>House and feed them?<span> </span>Let them destroy our civilisation?<span> </span>One refugee, fine.<span> </span>A million?<span> </span>You have to
think again.<span> </span>Probably half the
population of the world would like to get into Europe and get a Social Security
cheque.<span> </span>We have to defend against
this.<span> </span>It is not evil to seek to survive
in the face of millions who would seek to exploit your civilisation.<span> </span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This is
about boundaries.<span> </span>One of the most
important factors in human development is the establishment of personal
boundaries.<span> </span>To have a sense of
responsibility for oneself and not to over rely or intrude on another.<span> </span>Systems Theory tells us that we need cell
walls, osmotic membranes that protect, select and filter what is permitted to
come into the cell.<span> </span>This is interface
between Self and Other.<span> </span>Where the Known
meets the Unknown.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">It is
also about the poor countries who are losing their most energetic young people
to a grandiose and false dream of seeking their fortune in the golden paved
streets of Europe.<span> </span>The Pied Piper of Mr
Soros is enticing them all away form their own countries to destroy
others.<span> </span>Villages in West Africa have
collapsing economies because all the young men are taking ‘the back way’ across
the Maghreb to come to Europe and get rich.<span>
</span>There are downsides for others than ourselves.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">We are
going to see an interesting process in the coming weeks following the Friday 13<sup>th</sup>
massacre.<span> </span>The politicians, liberals and
general leftists are going to insist that we keep taking more migrants,
insisting that we ‘shouldn’t give in to fear’ and that turning migrants away
would in some way be ‘giving terrorists what they want’.<span> </span>And yet we have already seen borders being
closed.<span> </span>Sweden had already, incredibly,
closed its border before the atrocity, simply on the basis of there being too
many causing a ‘threat to public order’.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">A large
number of State Governors in the USA have declared they will not be taking
Syrian ‘refugees’ following the atrocities, and France has closed its borders.<span> </span>This is clearly a chaos situation which is
not going to improve unless measures are taken to prevent further deterioration
of the situation.<span> </span>It will doubtless
continue to slide for a while as the EU leaders prevaricate.<span> </span>Meanwhile the resolve of the European
peoples is rising.<span> </span>It is quite clear
that the Videgrad 4 ~ Poland, Czech/Slovakia and Hungary are taking a firm
stand and that is important for Europe as a whole.<span> </span>These countries, and others in the East, still have ancestral
memories of the Ottoman Empire and its depredations over hundreds of years.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">They know
that all civilisations periodically face the ‘Other’, and that it is in this
that they are tested.<span> </span>A nation, people
or civilisation who are unable to distinguish what is ‘Other’ has lost its
sense of Self, of Identity, and is vulnerable to being taken by the ‘Other’ as
New Orleans was to being flooded by the sea when the levees broke.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Defence
against the ‘Other’ is what all civilisation has ever been about, it is the
ancient myth of Osiris keeping back the chaos of Set and the desert.<span> </span>A civilisation or nation that opens its arms
to the ‘Other’ has lost the will to live and submits to its own demise.<span> </span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The war
for the soul of Europe has now begun.<span>
</span>We must find our Self, and repel the Other.<span> </span>The alternative is for Europe, the jewel of civilisation, to sink
into an endless night of oblivion, as chaos rushes in and its light is

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Equality, a concept which has
been working on the Western psyche for some two or three centuries, has now,
having infiltrated itself into our very bones, become weaponised against us in
our every thought, word and deed.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Who can argue against
Equality?<span> </span>Who can gainsay such a noble
aspiration, seeking as it does to recognise the Divine Soul within all
Humanity?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But how shall we apply it?<span> </span>Shall all tall people be made equal with the
short?<span> </span>How shall it be applied between
those of different abilities or accomplishments?<span> </span>And of course how should it be applied between different cultures
an value systems?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Equality before the law, and
equality of opportunity are simple, because they can actually be observed and
controlled to the degree of quality and quantity of their realisation.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I am not the equal of
Michelangelo, Proust or Elizabeth I.<span> </span>In
the realm of human endeavour there is infinite diversity of
accomplishment.<span> </span>An infinite variety of
aptitudes and inclinations, unique in every individual.<span> </span>And yet in many areas of life the Equality
agenda is being enforced.<span> </span>Achievement
is not rewarded so as not to hurt the feelings of those who have not achieved. <span> </span>Everyone has to feel good whether they have done
anything worth feeling good about or not.<span>
</span>Gay ‘families’ which cannot produce children are considered equal to old
fashioned heterosexual ones that serve to deliver the next generation of our
people.</span></span></div>

male/female equality in a separate piece, but for now let me address that of
cultural equality.)</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is also being applied to the
populations of European countries as a whole, who are being told repeatedly
that they are no different from the muslim hordes who are consolidating their
position here in Europe.</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The definition of Equality, has
slid towards first ‘the same’ and now ‘complete interchangeability’, which
removes the value of the individual and their uniqueness.<span> </span>Thus true diversity is attacked and blended
out.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is a background mindset
which has been used to justify the importation of a foreign demographic.</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In most countries throughout the
world, you only have citizenship if it is your ancestral home, so you have it
by right.<span> </span>Migrant workers and
businessmen have visas for the length of time they need for their work and then
leave.<span> </span>In Syria for instance, I have
just heard it said by a guest on R314, even when someone from abroad marries a
Syrian, it is only the children who have full citizenship.</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is, or used to be, accepted
conventional wisdom that a country’s population benefited from and inherited
the fruits of their forebears, and hopefully prospered so that their posterity
could build on this further and so on down the generations.<span> </span>The idea of large numbers of non related
population groups entering that society and staying there permanently would
have seemed ludicrous and alien to that nation.<span> </span>From a psychological point of view, there is a complete
difference between how an indigenous people regard a country’s heritage, and
incomers.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Absorbing literally millions of
outsiders of an historically oppositional culture and thinking of them as
‘Equal’ is pushing the limits of my conceptual abilities. </span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We are bound by this notion that
‘all souls’ are equal.<span> </span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Perhaps in the sight of God, but
here on Earth us mortals have to deal with inconvenient practical issues such
as law and order and distinguishing between genuine cases of need and jihadist
infiltrators.</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And we hear ludicrous arguments such as ‘It’s only an
accident of birth that you are European, we have as much right to be there as
you.’<span> </span>I don’t where to start with
nonsense such as this.<span> </span>It seems to
propose a kind of universe where anyone can and is anything without any
history, experience, or qualification.<span>
</span>There is no continuity, no thread connecting the meaning and purpose of
your life.<span> </span>‘Abdullah had a dream of
living in Europe’.<span> </span>As if abandoning
your ancestral people and claiming a place amongst another people to whom you
have no connection were a perfectly normal thing to do.<span> </span>The Cultural Marxists don’t recognise
family, kin or tribe.<span> </span>Hey, we’re all
human, we all bleed, right?<span> </span>What’s
yours is mine, okay?<span> </span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There are entirely different
civilisational streams going on here.<span>
</span>To suggest that they could be equal is not only wrong, but dangerous.<span> </span>And they are definitely not the same.<span> </span>The culturally Marxist eroded values of the
West imagine that their values of pathological altruism will be reciprocate by
the new arrivals.<span> </span>That they just need
to be hugged and given a good job.<span> </span>It
is beyond the understanding of many that the ideology under which they have
often spent their entire lives entails the premise that everyone else who is
not part of islam must be subjected to it or die.<span> </span>Predators and enemies exist, and are not just our own paranoid
projections that we need to get over.<span>
</span>You cannot convert an enemy who is determined to be resistant to your
compassion.<span> </span>He will only despise your
weakness.</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is not a happy time when the
pathological altruist meets the jihadist, or even just a simple muslim women in
a sack.<span> </span>The liberal is unable to
understand that these people are foundationally opposed to our way of
life.<span> </span>To them, ‘Equality’ is submission

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I shall have to post a piece
specifically dealing with that subject soon, but for now I shall contain myself
to the opposite natures of islam and our own dying continental religion,
Christianity.<span> </span>Clearly they are not
equal.<span> </span>One forgives, and one
conquers.<span> </span>One is softness and charity,
the other sternness and steel.<span> </span>‘Strike
off the fingertips of the Unbeliever’ (Surah 8:12)</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">They could have been deliberately
crafted as natural opposites, and there are those that believe they were.</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The thing is, that in Nature,
there is very little Equality.<span> </span>Or at
least of the sort that Leftists desire.<span>
</span>Although there is one type of Equality that is fundamental to the
physical existence of the universe, and that is the Law of Entropy.<span> </span>Heat tends to move from areas of greater
intensity to those of lesser, thereby equalling its distribution.<span> </span>This will one day result in the heat death
of the universe it is thought.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">However, there is in the world a
force which, while it does not entirely negate the effects of entropy,
nonetheless does work against it, and this is the force we know as life.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is argued that since life
involves drawing energy in and concentrating it in forms and structures within
the organism, its existence cannot be accounted for by purely mechanical laws.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The bit I really like is that the
concentration of energy through extraction and refinement is exactly what
Alchemy was all about, in both the spiritual as well as the material
realms.<span> </span>The extraction and development
of Essence.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Prima Materia of raw matter,
or the inexperienced or ignorant person must go through the refining and
improvement process, as in smelting of metal from ore and working it with
hammers.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Passage through rites which lead
to progression on one’s soul path advances one in wisdom and in worth.<span> </span>The coward who flees the battle and is hunted
down after the battle like a dog is of less worth than the peasant who faces
his death at the hands of the barbarian with a pitchfork in hand when the
reavers come for him and his family.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There are qualities that are
better, and there are those that are worse. </span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And so it is with peoples and
their cultures.<span> </span>Europe has distilled
perceptions and ideas through the primacy of Reason and won a balance of
freedom of expression with good manners and tolerance.<span> </span>Within the parameters created by what was
loosely known as Christendom.<span> </span>I don’t
consider myself a Christian any more, but for a thousand years or more it was
the basis of a coherent civilisation.<span>
</span>So long as it was able to see itself as the guardian of special value
not found elsewhere in the world, and protect that, it was a viable morphic
field.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But over the generations during
my own lifetime this has been lost.<span> </span>The
European civilisation which was to abolish slavery within its jurisdiction,
possibly the greatest collective moral achievement of the entire history of the
human race, has somehow lost its confidence to the degree where we are now
incredibly blamed for all the ills of the world, rather than thanked and
appreciated for all that we have done as a family of peoples and civilisation.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The weaponised use of the concept
of Equality has led to the total infiltration of European civilisation, a
demographic time bomb which will cause immense problems in the future.<span> </span>Ecological models of introduced species to
islands such as Australia or Britain demonstrate how damaging to the ecosystem
these can be.<span> </span>Human communities are no
different.<span> </span>We should remember the Red
Squirrel. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There is much discussion of how
this serves the global corporations with cheap labour and so forth, but the
greater goal is clearly to destroy the European civilisation and its peoples
for it is they who have the potential to subvert and remove the global
elites.<span> </span>Without their obsession with
‘standards’ and ‘ethics’ we would have Bhopals every week in the developing
world. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">‘Equality’ in the manner of the
Cultural Marxists is nothing else than the attempted radical disempowerment of
the whole of the human race.<span> </span>It seeks
to remove us from our roots and homogenise us into one global McDonalds
culture.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Europe has become like a soft
fruit, ripe and juicy to be plucked, sweet to the taste.<span> </span>But I think there is a hard stone at the
centre on which the teeth of the invader will break.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

However he was not always entirely true to this. ‘Leaf by Niggle’ a well loved short story of
his is clearly and unambiguously allegorical, and probably
semi-autobiographical in its expression of what seems likely to be his own
feelings about his work, constantly erasing and reworking, refining but never
complete or satisfied.</span></span></div>

</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is also clear from his
writings and the great amount of work that has been done on the sources of his
huge range of imagery that his work is filled with imaginative versions of
things he had known and seen in his life.
I have made a small contribution on this subject myself </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
of local landscapes and landmarks that are likely to have had some
influence as sources since they are things that he experienced in his daily
life, and which bear striking resemblances to actual locations and things in
Middle Earth.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Allegory can blend with
unconscious reference and half remembered image so that a piece can be a
combination of many ideas. Tolkien did
not deny that there was a moral meaning to his tales and it is clear that his
world is a representation of the Catholic universe before the Incarnation of
Jesus. (I think he might have even said
that.)</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Just as with, in The Hobbit, he
drew unashamedly from literary sources such as the Eddas and Beowulf, we should
not be surprised if in his works there are unconscious references to the
historical world that we know, or simply contextual embedding of geographical
patterns and the cultures that inhabit them.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The geography of Middle Earth in
the Third Age has an overall layout which is reminiscent of Europe and the
Middle East, as it might have been after the sinking of Atlantis, the race
memory which he translated into the Fall of Numenor. The languages were where it all started and these principally
began with Finnish, Welsh and Norse tongues, and his world is built around the
kind of people he thought would speak them.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So it is not pushing Tolkien too
far in my view to suggest that the geographical and cultural references may
have more detail, texture and depth than the simple and obvious facts of the
Shire representing England and so forth.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As an Art Therapist I have spent
much time looking at images and finding hidden material. Some might be my own projection, but some
were undoubtedly there waiting for me to find.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Ever since I first saw the map of
Middle Earth in The Lord of The Rings as a child, I have always been aware of
the similarity in shape between Mordor and Turkey. One detail alone may be coincidence, but when others conform with
it, the hypothesis is supported.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The separation between Mordor and
Gondor is defined by the Great River which passes between them, like the
Bosphorus, and Gondor stands like Constantinople facing towards the East.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Tolkien wrote LR and his whole
legendarium to be a mythology for England, since it had lost so much after the
Norman Invasion. While I am content to
acknowledge that it was intended as an inspiration to the English people, and a
reworking of myths into literature somewhat in the way that Vaughan Williams
turned folk song into symphony, it does not seem impossible that there may have
been deeper purposes.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">He was a lifelong Catholic from
the days of his childhood when his mother converted. It is also well known that he felt a deep sense of regret at the
loss of Anglo-Saxon culture, almost as if it were something that had only
happened recently and that it was his duty to restore.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Would it be so impossible that in
someone so conscious of the racial, linguistic and cultural history of the
peoples of Northern Europe, resonances of the various invasions from the East
might be found embedded in his imagination?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The great fear of Europe was from
the East. Attila, the Saracens, Turks,
Genghis Khan and the Ottomans. Can we
project that the threat of Sauron might in any way be comparable to these? In archetypal form, these things are near
identical. It might be considered not
very politically correct to suggest as much, but Tolkien clearly describes the
inhabitants of Mordor, the Orcs, as swarthy and slant eyed. We must accept that this is probably how the
mediaeval Europeans saw those from the Middle East who were continually trying
to invade and take over the West. And
their weapons are scimitars.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Victory for Sauron would mean the
end of everything for the West. Sauron
is seen as the Antichrist, (or had Melkor not already taken that part, Satan).</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A picture is building here of a
demonic power, residing in a country to the East that resembles Turkey (and
beyond), with swarthy inhabitants wielding scimitars. It is the will of Sauron that all must submit to him and
acknowledge him as master. Any treaties
would be worthless. He would always
make more complaints and aggression against the men of the West, as he has
always harried and preyed upon them and coveted their lands.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Are you, dear reader arriving at
the same conclusion as I have done?
That the demonic power of Mordor characterised by the Will of Sauron is
archetypically identical with none other than that of Islam today?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I am not suggesting that this is
an intentional meaning from Tolkien, but rather that it is unconsciously
prophetic. Perhaps a repeating cycle
that he characterised, and which has come round again.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">One last point I would like to
add is to remind the reader of both Tolkien’s Catholic faith, and his devotion
to the survival and meaning of Anglo-Saxon culture. To suggest that he would agree with the current Pope that
Christians should abandon their past and embrace the muslim hordes who press
like orcs at our gates is to my mind, absurd.
Such a course will clearly lead to the end of European civilisation,
indeed probably the European peoples. During the Crusades, the then Pope declared Mohamed and Islam were
the AntiChrist. Saruman in the books
symbolically represents the Pope who has submitted his will and is now working
for the success of the Enemy. The Lord
Denethor represents the collective will of the Europeans, against this, but
despairing. I have seen a muslim site
which suggested that Aragorn represented the Mahdi. I think not, since Aragorn came to free the West from domination,
but all the Mahdi would do is subject it perpetual slavery. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">If Tolkien felt so much grief
about the loss of a root culture 900 years ago, how much more would he grieve
for the loss of Christendom and his own people?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I would assert that it is plain
for any who study the works of the Professor that he would have no truck with
the politically correct movement which seeks to open the doors to invaders and
betray our people. In fact, I would go
so far as to suggest that his great work, The Lord of The Rings, voted the nation’s
most popular book at the millennium, is no less than a prophetic warning from
the levels of deep racial memory and the collective unconscious.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Islam is the hordes of Mordor,
and Sauron the guiding will of their demonic mentor, Mohamed.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There may be more symbolic
meaning in the stories and images, but so far, this much is clear from many
years of consideration, and I wouldn’t be surprised if thousands of Tolkienists
the world over have thought it too. But
it is time to reserve those thoughts no more and speak the truth, that Islam is
the Will of Sauron. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Claire Rae Randall This whole anti-white agenda which the BBC runs is absolutely unacceptable. People whose ancestry comes from Asia or Africa cannot be 'English' when they are not even European, or white. The BBC is deliberately attacking the ancestral majority of our nation. Why shouldn't the people whose ancestors built this country remain the dominant demographic in their own country? Asia for Asians, Africa for Africans, but hey, Europe for Everyone! No-one is flooding Nigeria, or Pakistan, or China with millions of non indigenous people and calling them Nigerian, Pakistani or Chinese! So why should these immigrants get to call themselves English and sneer at us? And if we are so racist, how come they all want to come here? Nothing to do with the welfare benefits or high standard of living which they can get from living in our countries, I'm sure.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This precipitated a torrent of abuse in which I was vilified with salvoes of choice epithets which are standard ammunition in the arsenal of the antifa brigade, without actually addressing the genuine concerns which even Britain First should be allowed to express.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is very important I have found in such circumstances to maintain one’s cool, and not descend to the depths of your opponents. All they have is abuse, while it is my firm conviction that I have a moral case for the defence of my people and civilisation. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">One question is all it takes. I actually asked three, but the fact that they wouldn’t even touch the first shows their weakness. Jeers they have a-plenty but arguments they have none.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The three questions are as follows. First, how many immigrants should we accept and at what population size should we close the door? Second, how will you feel when you are the last European on your street? And third, how will you feel when your child is the last European child in their class?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">To be sure I am drawing this more widely than just England or Britain, as it seems the whole of Europe is beset by this invasion at the present time.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We live in a world of practical limitation, and so we must think about the first question. It is much worse in Germany, France and Sweden, where no go areas are spreading and there is an epidemic of immigrant perpetrated rape on in indigenous white European women.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But even here in Britain, the enclaves are quite advanced. London is now less than 50% native population, and major cities such as Birmingham have a muslim presence which is beginning to flex its muscles.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There have been at least five million non indigenous people arrive in this country since the late nineties, many have had children and they are a seriously growing demographic. If we keep accepting migrants and our already swollen population also continues to grow, how many should we set as a limit to that population?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is just a simple question. I guess I don’t really expect the antifa to engage with the second and third as these are probably too challenging and raise too much cognitive dissonance between their Cultural Marxist programming and their basic racial and animal survival instincts.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In online ‘debate’, there are certain strategies which it is important to adhere to. I’m not an expert, but I have learnt some things. Never respond to abuse, but instead reply politely pointing out that they have not answered your question but that they have resorted to unjustified abuse etc. Then repeat your case or restate it from a slightly different angle.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I am actually staggered to find how little these people have to work with. Like hyenas they pack together to attack someone who dares speak outside of the Politically Correct trope. ‘Racist’ ‘scum’ and ‘nazi’ are the standard fare, and I find that responding pointing out politely that they have no basis in evidence for actually making these slurs against you, and then getting back to the question ~ ‘How many?’</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Once they have exhausted their ad hominem attacks, since they will not reply to the question, they are forced to make some pathetic attempt at reason and argument as to why it is apparently so wonderful that we are being flooded by unlimited numbers of people from a diverse selection of places in the world with which we have no history, no shared culture, language or religion.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">First we get the ‘It’s great all that diversity, don’t you like a curry?’ which is easily batted away with a reply that there were plenty of curry houses thirty or even forty years ago, without the demographic overload. The point being that a small number of immigrants from different cultures can be enriching up to a point, but beyond that point the host culture starts to become eroded. I hear that many first generation immigrants who have been in Europe for a long time recognise that this is the case, (mostly West Indians and Indians I am thinking of) they aren’t keen on an ever increasing and more dominant islamic culture from Pakistan and the Middle East. They obviously like the white Anglo dominated society, which is what they came her for!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Economic benefits are cited, although with so many native Brits unemployed I find this hardly worth the time of day. Anti-English English like to sneer at the working class for not getting on their bike and trying harder, but I find this derogatory attitude to one’s own people a cheap shot. We have for too long supped at the table of the mainstream media who have sneered at the English people as no more than football hooligans.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Then we get to the meat. ‘Well your people colonised the world!’ (You might like to compare the different arguments and see how they are not all entirely consistent with each other, such as how, if there is no such thing as race, our ‘race’ can be held responsible for anything. Rather, the concept is only employed when considered useful, otherwise it is only a ‘construct’.) Well, there are British colonies around the world, which were set up by people who left our shores often centuries ago, and are certainly not representative of the native British, or English peoples. And huge numbers of today’s migrants aren’t even from territories that Britain had occupied. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Ottoman Empire enslaved whole nations and subjected different peoples to slavery for five hundred years, and was only dissolved less than a hundred years ago. Is Turkey being asked to pay reparations?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The same with the war in the Middle East which Blair and Bush forced on the world. Huge numbers of Europeans marched in opposition to this, and yet we are to be held responsible and made to pay reparations in the form of giving our country away to people from, well anywhere really, not just the Middle East.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I like Stefan Molyneux’s example of the hornet’s nest. If while on a picnic, father espies a hornet’s nest and goes poking it with a stick, and the hornets come out (a good metaphor for islam I would venture), in the way that hornets do, and sting everything in sight, including father’s poor children and their mother, then the ‘payback’ model of why we are having to put up with so much immigration is satisfied. Justice is seen to be being done when the innocents related to the perpetrator are made to suffer.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Oh, and then there is the ‘England is a nation of mongrel immigrants anyway’. Apparently the various invasions that these isles have experienced are justification for another. Having spent hundreds of years getting over the traumatising effects of small numbers of racially similar groups from the European continent invading and taking over, but eventually becoming broadly reconciled between these groups as over the centuries they have gradually blended and the differences have become blurred and even forgotten or lost, it is now proposed that we engage in the whole business all over again. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">However, this time, we don’t have a sparsely populated island with only a few million occupants, we have an increasingly overcrowded one. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This time, the arrivals are not to be counted in the thousands or even tens of thousands over generations or centuries, but in the hundreds of thousands and the millions.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This time, they are not closely related and racially similar groups from Europe, but widely diverse groups from all over the world.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This time, they are not, as our most recent conquerors the Normans were, Christians, but mostly of a religion that has been at war against Christianity for almost the entirety of its 1,400 year history.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And of the refugees which we have taken in over the centuries, the largest group were the French Protestant Huguenots, who were a finite limited number over a specific time frame, racially similar and of a similar Christian religion.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And so, because this nation has been invaded or offered hospitality on occasion, we are to be morally bound to accept unlimited numbers of racially different muslims who act in many ways as if they are indeed as much invaders as were the Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings or Normans.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The abuse continues with assertions about one’s lack of ‘racial purity’ due to the above, and one is obliged to counter that genetic studies have shown that many English people have as much as 87% of their DNA from the founders who first came up to this land at the end of the Ice Age, and so qualify as a ‘First People’.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is most important that one does not allow the impression to form that one believes that one’s people is better than another’s. Indeed, one must make it clear that in the interests of true diversity, it is necessary for each people to have a land and territory of their own. Loving one’s own people does not have anything to do with hating another. White identity in no way necessitates racism against other groups.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I would use the example of Nigeria, a country I know well from my childhood. There are three regional tribal groups, the Hausa/Fulani in the north, the Yoruba in the West, and the Ibo in the East. They will all consider themselves to be Nigerian, but beyond that, tribal identification is of paramount importance.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now as a child I lived in Nigeria for some years and returned periodically until my father retired. I don’t know how easy it is for a Brit to gain Nigerian citizenship, (probably more difficult than it is for a Nigerian to gain UK citizenship) but if I were to go there and work and seek residency it might be possible. They certainly don’t have tens thousands of British seeking citizenship, of that I’m sure.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now if I were to do this, and knowing and having a love for the country since my childhood, I could call myself a Nigerian citizen. I might even call myself a Nigerian at a pinch, although I feel that is pushing is a little, however, wherever I might live in that country, I could never be a Hausa, or a Fulani, or a Yoruba or an Ibo. It’s simply not possible. They are primary ethnicities which depend on tribal ancestry.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And as is the way I regard my own English ancestral ethnicity. Immigrants are now claiming this identity for their own, and many such as I find this unacceptable. If I appropriated a Hausa identity from living in Hausaland, I would be taken to task, and so it should be either way.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Balkanisation of Europe is being taken on in numerous ways. The deconstruction of the English so as to make way for the colonisation of our homeland by others is an essential part of this. If the nice cop of ‘vibrant multiculturalism’ and ‘economic need’ isn’t persuasive enough, the nasty cop of ‘racist imperialism’ and the ‘mongrel nation of immigrants’ is sicced on us. We must be denigrated into submission.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So, as a humble keyboard warrior I see it as my duty to defensively deconstruct these attacks on our people and throw them back at the anarchists who seek to destroy the work of two thousand five hundred years of European culture since the emergence of the cultural theme of Reason among the Greeks.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is vital to understand that the antifa hordes are not operating from real consciousness or an understanding of the problems of migration that are being discussed. They have been conditioned over a lifetime of schooling and watching the BBC to have no sense of their own identity or culture, and that any remnant which they do have left is to be a source of guilt and shame.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Pay no heed to the fact that if you are English, then you are a proud member of the first people who stood against perhaps the most ancient institution in the world, which all nations, cultures and civilisations had practised, that of slavery, and abolished it within our jurisdiction. And if you are of European descent, you can be proud that your people followed the lead of Britain in abolishing it in yours.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And yet, the native people of Britain, the Scots, Welsh, Irish and English are perpetually vilified as racist. Here we see Cultural Marxism at work, because it works most effectively when it reverses the truth, and makes it a lie. The British races are not racist. If is was understood, there was a mass movement to spread the benefits of reason and science to the whole world in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and while some of this may have been misguided, the impulse was well meant. My father built roads, bridges, and housing in Africa, which would otherwise have never been built, but he would be called a racist exploiter even when he was an employee of the Nigerian government. Cultural Marxism snaps at the heels of white European, or English self doubt. We always want to do better, so question ourselves. This opens the door for colonisation of the mind, which is the precursor to colonisation of one’s territory. As the master strategist Sun Tzu wrote in his classic ‘The Art of War’, the cheapest victory is one which is bought without fighting, but only by having undermined the will of the enemy to resist. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Cultural Marxists are employing this method, and we must fight back, by speaking the truth, by speaking politely and by believing in our own right to survive. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I just want to post a short blog here about something
that is so obvious I am disgusted it is not being addressed by the mainstream
media.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Unfortunately this seems to be running as one of those 'Secrets in Plain Sight' that the elites seem to like trying to get past us. The thing is, when people's survival is at risk, deep alarm bells start going on inside their heads that make them question the conventional view of things that got them into that position in the first place. </span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I’ll just run through a few
facts.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A flood of immigrants has been
trying to enter Europe this year, the dominant number seeking to reach northern
Europe.<span> </span>These come from diverse groups,
economic migrants, refugees and terrorists intermingled.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Chancellor Angela Merkel has
taken the decision to open her country to 800,000 thousand of these
migrants.<span> </span>Estimates for the total
expected number of migrants this year have been running at somewhere between
around 500,000, so Chancellor Merkel is offering over and above what was even
expected in numbers, for the whole of Europe.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This has led to an increase in
the number of migrants setting off from Syria and Turkey and a new wave are now
reported to be on their way.<span> </span>Doubtless
we can expect harrowing scenes of people trudging through the snow when the
winter comes.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The vast majority of these migrants
are clearly to be seen to be young men in all the videos I have seen.<span> </span>While the media likes to pick juicy images
of people with distressed expressions holding children to dangle before us on
our screens, we should remember that only small numbers seem to fit this
profile while the rest are young men.<span>
</span>Largely between the ages of 18 and 45 by the look of many of them, which
happens to be the age of military service in most parts of the world.<span> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And while there are apparently
small numbers of Christians in the swarm, it cannot be argued but that the
migration is primarily of people belonging to the Islamic belief.<span> </span>Indeed tales abound of Christians being
thrown overboard from the crowded and unseaworthy vessels in which they seek to
cross to Europe.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The wealthy Arab oil states have
taken none of these refugee/migrants and pictures have been seen of thousands
of unused air conditioned tents in Saudi Arabia, on the excuse that they would
be a security risk.</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Then we have what, for me, is the
clincher.<span> </span>While the migrants are
considered a ‘security risk’ in the Gulf, apparently they are to be encouraged
in Europe, and the Saudis have offered to build hundreds of new mosques for the
new arrivals in Germany.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It would appear that ‘Welcome To
Europe’ is a group which exists in a murky state of apparent legality because
it is ‘only giving advice’ and ‘they will travel anyway’.<span> </span>And so of course doubtless what they are
doing slips through the cracks as such activities are doubtless intended to do
when bodies such as the UN and the EU draft their laws and regulations on how
to deal with situations that occur in the world.<span> </span>I have just heard that they are a Soros backed group.<span> </span>Well I never.</span></span></div>

which cannot be identified as other than International Communism.</span></strong></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This ‘Freedom of Movement’ meme
is an assumption which has no limits.<span>
</span>Freedom to move where?<span> </span>Have you
the freedom to move in my house?<span> </span>Do I
have the same in yours?<span> </span>Should enemies
and criminals have the freedom to move in territories under our
jurisdiction?<span> </span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And what about settlement?<span> </span>Freedom of movement is one thing if it is as
a tourist, a businessperson, a pilgrim.<span>
</span>But to settle?<span> </span>Do a people from
one land have the right to settle in lands where another group have had
ancestral control of the territory for hundreds or even thousands of
years?<span> </span>Can I go and settle in an
American Indian reservation please?<span> </span>I
like their customs and think it seems very romantic.<span> </span>They may not like it, but hey, it’s my human rights to enjoy
freedom of movement, right?</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Oh, but they are a protected
category, so they are safe.<span> </span>Meanwhile,
for some reason I haven’t been able to understand, Europe is the new land of
opportunity for those who want to ‘build a new life’ despite it already being
occupied by indigenous peoples for thousands of years.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Briefly, I dare say that this did
start with a trickle of genuine refugees, but they will have found somewhere
nearer to the start of their journey.<span>
</span>They have, since, clearly been outnumbered and replaced by the tens of
thousands of young men of the age for military service.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Obviously word started getting
round that Europe was not resisting, that people would be accepted if they
could only get there and so the whole social movement of economic migrants got
under way into which the jihadis and criminals could infiltrate
themselves.<span> </span>So now we have a
conglomerate of some real refugees, a whole bunch of economic migrants who are
mostly simply ruthless opportunists, and an unknown percentage of very dangerous
muslim sleeper agents, criminals and general terrorists of unknown ilk.<span> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I was particularly interested in
the analysis that Millennial Woes did of a video of migrants arriving in
Germany, from the BBC, pointing out the body language and cues from members of
the throng which did not seem congruent with what one might expect from
refugees.<span> </span>Drop into the following video
from just about 37 minutes in and hear what MW has to say about it a chap smoking a cigarette and looking at his i-phone who glances with at best disinterest at the bunch of lefties cheering his arrival.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is an excellent in depth video analysis of the whole situation which I can thoroughly recommend if you are just getting into realising how phenomenally serious this whole issue is. </span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We hear how these people want to
‘build a new life in Europe’.<span> </span>That they
are having babies while here.<span> </span>Do we
ever hear about how they long to return home when the war is over?<span> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Merkel’s opening of the German
borders to what amounts all comers was the starting gun for a last surge before
winter.<span> </span>And now she has shut them after
a week.<span> </span>Is this a bluff and a bargaining
tactic, as some are saying, to guilt trip other European nations to do as she
did?<span> </span>Is it now not abundantly clear
that to follow would be to invite a tsunami of humanity that would not
cease.<span> </span>Europe would be overrun, looted
and burnt while the elites retreated behind their military, abandoning the
indigenous inhabitants to the mercies of Allah.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hungary is holding the line in
the face of abuse and hostility from those who would sacrifice us to the
horde.<span> </span>Predictions of a
‘tsunamigration’ of tens of millions, uncounted numbers who would overrun us
like in Jean Raspail’s ‘Camp of the Saints’, the 1973 novel which predicted
pretty much this, a Europe inundated with the poor of the Third World,
paralysed with indecision and unable to defend itself.<span> </span></span></span></div>

of Canterbury has invited a refugee family to stay at Lambeth Palace.<span> </span>Stunts of this nature only make things
worse.<span> </span>They signal to the world that we
will not resist, that we want to be invaded, that we are submitting.</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">What is presently taking place is
a psychological subversion of our mindset.<span>
</span>We have been tricked into acting on empathy alone and into abandoning
reason. <span> </span>I know too many good people who
are more worried about being seen to be illiberal than they are about the
future of our country, their country.<span>
</span>If you ask someone what they would feel about being the last European on
their street, or their child being the last European child in their class, or
even, simply, ‘How many should we take?’ too many are unable to even think
about what is being asked.<span> </span>But just
look at the birthrates and the demographic projections.<span> </span>Allowing in uncounted and undocumented
millions from a religion that has spent the last fourteen hundred years trying
to conquer Europe cannot be a scenario that ends well for Europeans.</span></span></div>

gods one honours that the survival response of our peoples will arise and sweep
away the cowardice of those who have submitted to the invader without even
resisting. </span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Drowned Child and The Amygdala Hijack</span></span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText2">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever wondered how the media manages to be so
effective in manipulating people’s responses to news stories?<span> </span>How do they manage to slant the stories in
such a way as to get that knee-jerk reaction exactly the way they want it?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It
is largely done by manipulating you with Neuro-Linguistic Programming in such a way that an automatic brain
process takes over before you are able to make a considered rational decision.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The
Amygdala is a rather primitive part of the limbic system in the mid brain which
associates positive or negative affect to patterns of stimuli.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In
evolutionary terms it was designed to give quick reactions to situations which
normally wouldn’t allow time for rational consideration, fight or flight
situations.<span> </span>A primitive survival
circuit which can kick in on a kind of instinctual over-ride.<span> </span>Road rage is a modern example of it.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But
it is also subject to reward and punishment from social stimuli.<span> </span>Social approval or disapproval can be so
strongly conditioned as to produce literally compulsive behaviour.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">For
instance, the native population of Europe has come to think of itself as
ethical (whatever that might really mean) to such a degree over recent decades,
with efforts like Live Aid or concern for climate change and fair trade with
the Third World, and been encouraged to think that we are such good people for
it that we have become afraid of being accused of not being totally altruistic
and charitable.<span> </span>We have become afraid
of being accused of having our ‘White Privilege’ due to our dreadful crime of
having had successful ancestors who thought up lots of cool stuff and invented
the modern world, and for even considering that it might be our right to hold
onto that world which they created for us and which we inherited to do even
better things with.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So
at the appearance of a dead child on every news outlet in the European world
with the trope that this happened because of ‘YOUR’ racist anti-immigration
policies and finger pointed at us, it is of course hard to resist that feeling
that something must be done, and that this must involve us admitting some kind
of guilt for this awful thing, and the wave of rising emotion which says ‘Let
them all come, I can’t bear to see them suffer’ with no thought for any
practical considerations, consequences or outcomes.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It
is impossible to reason with someone still in the grip of the Amygdala Hijack,
for this is what it is.<span> </span>The emotional
panic button of the Amygdala has been pressed and until the conditioned
association between the stimulus and that button can be broken, cortical
reasoning has been over-ridden, in an uncontrollable peace and love polar opposite counterpart to
road rage.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately
not everyone is universally susceptible, and some of us have learnt how to
intervene to a degree in our own responses.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Probably
the most important starting point is to recognise situations to which you are
vulnerable and when you start having strong emotional reactions.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It
can be a significant step in one’s personal growth to be able to discern and
stand back from the weaponised information, barbed with guilt and poisoned with
empathy and compassion which the media have just thrown at us.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Another
useful step towards being resistant to the matrix mind programming is simply to
not watch television or read mainstream news publications.<span> </span>You can pick up headlines from your
preferred sources online and compare them.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Whenever
something like this happens it is an assault on the psyche of the peoples it is
aimed at, and the herd will let themselves be herded, but there are always
those who will not be herded.<span> </span>They are
those who recognise the attempted emotional trigger and have moved to a higher
level of cognitive processing whereby the brain’s triage and gating systems are
able to pick up the deception because of giveaway patterns and details.<span> </span>Rather like a false flag event in many ways,
as it is presenting events in such a way as to get a certain response, rather
than in an open ended investigative manner.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If
you feel an emotional knee-jerk coming on about something you saw or read, or
someone said to you, or with the guy in the car which just overtook you, take a
moment and step out of the situation in your mind.<span> </span>It will begin the process of decoupling you from what is almost
an addiction to emotional responses which has been programmed into our
collective mindset, exploiting ancient brain structures and using them against
us.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There
are many things that, like this, can raise your level of functioning and make
you more effective in realising your goals in life.<span> </span>We’ve all seen movies where one ninja defeats an army pitched
against him.<span> </span>We may not be able to take
on an army alone, but the metaphor is that the higher level of perception and
cognitive function then one can at least defend oneself from the emotional
triggers that are one’s own vulnerabilities.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It
is a vital evolutionary function to be able to see through and outwit the
psi-operations set against us and expose them to others.<span> </span>I would suggest that the level of
co-ordination for this drowned child story was quite extensive.<span> </span>They will have been waiting for something
like this and pounced on it the moment it came up.<span> </span>And presumably the intention was to trigger everyone’s amygdalas
so that ration discourse on the subject of migrants, refugees, infiltrators,
call them what you will, was to become impossible, just a few days before the special European summit on the issues of migrants and refugees. Convenient timing, one has to observe.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately
a few of the usual suspects such as Richard Littlejohn have obviously seen such
patterns before, and commenters on a variety of news threads have followed his
example.<span> </span>And now it transpires that the
father who lost his son had been in a stable position in Turkey for some time
but risked everything with the dangerous attempted boat crossing that went
wrong.<span> </span>Europe is being blamed for his
error of judgement, and our borders are to be opened, one assumes, to assuage
our guilt at having allowed this to happen.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If we are truly to move forward, evolve and develop, then it must be in a direction of responsibility, for both sides, not with one as victim and the other as self sacrificing saviour. I hate to say it, but the father in this instance had stopped behaving responsibly, and he paid for his gamble with his son's life. Just blaming us for his actions will neither bring his son back, not do anything to help him deal with his situation. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The
war of words, in which those who don’t comply with allowing their amygdalas to
hijack their frontal cortex and its powers of reason are called ‘racists’ and
‘cruel’, will now proceed, but those who have disconnected from their conditioning
are no longer affected by it.<span> </span>They no
longer fear what is behind the weaponised words, and so they no longer feel the
fight or flight response when these attacks are made.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As
each weaponised psi-attack is made, the psychic immunity to the infiltration of
such thought and emotional viruses into our minds increases, to the point where
there is almost instant recognition that we are being played, that we are being
given narratives that are slanted against us, and that this is predatory.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A
good thing about the amygdala is that the deeper and more ancient survival
levels are still there beneath all the social programming that has tried to
overlay it.<span> </span>I’m particularly interested
in what one might call the ‘Zhen Ren’ moment, that moment of absolute clarity
about oneself that we should all seek.<span>
</span>Just as Duncan Idaho, in Dune Messiah, awoke from his amnesia to the
memory of his true identity when he was faced with am impossible conflict
between his new conditioning to kill and his deeper, more firmly rooted love
for Paul Muad’dib. Identity, loyalty, clan. Survival.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And
he awoke to the true awareness of who he was.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A
diamond is created only under the most extreme conditions of heat and
pressure.<span> </span>So it is with the ‘Diamond
Body’ of the Master.<span> </span>Surviving
intensity so that their inner being is fused into irreducible firmness and
clarity which cannot be lost or degraded.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">That
is what we are seeking in ourselves, for with it we shall be resistant to all
propaganda and lying attempts to control our thoughts and reactions, real psychic
immunity; and the signs are that we are starting to develop this immunity, this
perception, this recognition.<span> </span>When it
then becomes commonplace the landslide will commence.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Existential Crisis of Europe</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I’ve been trying to get started
on this blog for some while now, but it’s been hard to know exactly how to get
a purchase on it. The main problem is
that the mindset of most British people has been so corrupted that if you so
much as mention the word ‘immigration’ you will instantly be branded
‘xenophobic’. Or if you suggest that
picking up Africans floating a few miles off Libya and ferrying them </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">to </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> the
European mainland where they will be housed and fed might not be the most sensible thing to do, you are clearly a
racist who wants to see them all dead.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well I’ve got to the point now
where I’m beginning not to care about what the opinion shepherds want us to
believe or what other people think about such things, because their name
calling has ceased to have any meaning, rather like the boy who cried ‘Wolf!’
and then got ignored.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The seed crystals of news which
have caused the condensation of these thoughts in my mind have come over
recently from the Grauniad and the Telegraph.
I used to be a Grauniad leftie from before the beginning of time until
some vaguely unspecified date about a year or three ago when I began to realise
that I didn’t actually agree with them any more. In fact I began to realise that they were often found to be
spouting dangerously biased and irrational nonsense.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Take the recent Danish election,
in which the anti-immigration Danish People’s Party made significant gains and
now holds the balance of power.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Beyond the facts of the election result itself, I would draw people's
attention to the way the Grauniad has covered these results. To save you time I
have lifted a series of quotes from their coverage and copied them below. They
are clearly trying to control the narrative for their own ends rather than
report in an unbiased manner. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Words such as 'populist' 'seductive' and 'divisive' pepper the text,
and you don't need a qualification in Neuro-Linguistic programming for it t<span class="textexposedshow">o be obvious that the Grauniad is doing its best to diss
the Danish People's Party. I love the way they attack the vote as relying
heavily on over 60s. What should we
make of the fact that 57% of their voters were <b><i>under</i></b> 60? Now that
I am over 60 it is obvious to me that there is a repository of wisdom and
stability in our older population which should be drawn on. Until the Cult of
Youth took over, the wisdom of age was respected. Now it is sneered at because
it could be the last bulwark against the multi-culti insanity which the elites
are trying to impose on us.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">'Soft-spoken and plausible'
'populist tide' ' Whatever people may say about the clean-cut, politically
savvy Thulesen Dahl and his *divisive* anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant,
anti-Brussels stance, he is no Nigel Farage.' [WTF is that supposed to mean?]
'Others suspect a more destructive agenda.' ' it seems clear the DPP surge fed
off fears about the “enemy within” symbolised by February’s deadly attacks in
Copenhagen by a *lone* Islamist extremist.' [Emphasis mine] (When it's a muslim, it's a 'lone gunman', but when, as in Charleston, SC, it was a 'lone' white man, we see a massive psychological attack on blaming <i><b>all</b></i> white people and their culture. Yeah, I noticed the inconsistency.) 'Coincidentally or
not, 43% of DPP voters were older than 60.' 'It was a seductive campaign
narrative that pulled rival parties, including Thorning-Schmidt’s Social
Democrats, to the right while denying them a clearly separate ideological
identity.' So now the DPP is controlling other people's ideological identity? I
thought that's what the EU had been trying to do for several decades! This is
trash propaganda of the slimiest sort. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Firstly this is undisguised
opinion in what should be a disinterested and objective news report. Obviously the major issues and future
ramifications need to be mentioned, but this is heavily slanted, fear mongering propaganda.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Grauniad is known for its

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and
consider the possibility that many on the Left genuinely believed that full
scale multi-culturalism would be a good idea and work. They had of course never tried such a mass
experiment under controlled conditions, but they thought it would be a good
idea. For some reason or other that is
now lost in the memory hole of time. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When it became clear a number of
years ago that this whole thing wasn’t working (and Cameron, Merkel and others
said this), not only was nothing done to reverse the trajectory, but in recent
times the directives from the EU have if anything pressed to increase the
numbers of immigrants. As long ago as
2001 the UN predicted that the EU would need over 100,000,000 immigrants to
replace population. State policies and
tax breaks for families could easily improve the indigenous European birth rate
so one has to ask why is there this confluence with the continued political
pressure for immigration?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have seen a link which mentioned a
figure of 159,000,000 immigrants being needed by 2025, but can’t seem to find
that precise one at the moment.</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There is much discussion of aging
demographics and the need to maintain tax revenues etc., but almost no mention
of how to stimulate the birth rate of indigenous Europeans, which is surely the
best long term solution, a simple reversal of the cause of our demographic
decline. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Clearly the cheap labour is a
significant part of it. We have a
couple of million floating unemployed in Britain, and yet open door economic
migration continues as normal business.
The EU Schengen Zone obviously has led to this to a great extent, and so
we have to mention the Kalergi plan.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">“The man of the future will be of
mixed race. The races and classes of today will gradually disappear due to the
elimination of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-negroid race of the
future, similar in appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the
diversity of peoples and the diversity of individuals. Instead of destroying European
Judaism against her will, refined and educated this people, driving them to
their future status as a leading nation through this artificial evolutionary
process. It’s not surprising that the people that escaped from the
Ghetto-Prison, became the spiritual nobility of Europe. Thus, the compassionate
care given by Europe created a new breed of aristocrats. This happened when the
European feudal aristocracy crashed because of the emancipation of the Jews
[due to the actions taken by the French Revolution]”</span></span></b></div>

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I didn’t write any of that, Count
Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi did.</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This has become well known about in truther circles over the last few years. The mainstream is
very reluctant to discuss Kalergi, and won’t talk about his plan. I actually have a friend who is a life long Labour Party member who threatened to walk out on me if I tried to discuss it. Really! Why? She wouldn't say. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Frankly, I wouldn’t take it seriously but
for one rather glaring connection that is too big to ignore. Both Chancellor Merkel and EU President Van
Rompuy have both been awarded the ‘Charlemagne Prize’ for services to the pan
European ideal, of which Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi was the first
recipient in 1950.</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And what Kalergi suggested seems
to now be taking place. Join the dots my friends.</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I would offer in supportive evidence the
complete abdication of any right to rule by the current crop of EU leaders
(with one or two exceptions) in the face of the current invasion of Europe
currently taking place. The first duty
of our government is to defend the realm.
This is clearly not being done. The
dominant leadership from Brussels is continuing to try to force this down the
throats of what is left of an indigenous European population with economic
arguments on the one hand and moral on the other. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">‘Social Justice
Warriors’ don’t reason or even argue with you, all they do is sling abuse. It’s predictable, ‘Racist’ ‘Bigot’, 'Xenophobe', for
simply wanting your own people to remain the main group in their own country. Apparently the multi-culti Cultural Marxist
agenda is now so advanced that they think they can silence anyone with a few
well chosen weaponised words of abuse. But it has
reached the point where we don’t care as I suggested above.</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">One of the main problems with all
this is that most Europeans haven’t any experience of sub-Saharan Africa, and
many of those who do have only seen it through the eyes of tourism, protected
in western standard hotels and shepherded around in tour buses and safari
groups. I spent a substantial part of
my childhood in West Africa and saw this all through different eyes. I have little doubt that while the cities in
Africa may have some of the trappings of modern civilisation these days, the
average peasant will still be living in the manner that they did in the fifties
or sixties, whether that be the 1950s or the 1850s, or earlier.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But I hear you say that if the
conditions are so primitive, then shouldn’t we be doing all we can to
ameliorate them? Let’s be clear about
this. There are over a billion native
population in Africa, nearly twice that of Europe, and their continent is much
larger, with immense natural resources, not to mention a climate more conducive to plant growth in much of its area. Oh, and the almost limitless sunshine which could be used for electrical generation and thereby economic growth.
Firstly we should consider the simple matter of space, housing,
employment and so forth. Clearly the
continuous arrival of unlimited numbers of people of foreign origin must have
some impact on these.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But it is the actual people that
we should consider. I hear people from
the likes of the Green Party saying ‘Give them time and they will become just
like us’. Really? Does the growth of Islam in Europe support
this supposition? It seems rather the
opposite to me.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We have to accept that the
average sub-Saharan African has lived a life of what we would consider
unremitting hardship, but that is from a European perspective. Until recent times most of the European
peoples toiled and sweated to survive in a similar manner, with added winters unknown in Africa, to boot. Our advanced technical civilisation has
removed us from that basic level of survival and, frankly, made us soft.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When Europeans see pictures of
Africans in mud huts their altruistic hearts go out to them and want to help
them. But how should this be done? Countless billions of pounds, euros and
dollars have disappeared into black holes of corruption over the decades,
fuelling on the one hand Presidential palaces, and on the other endless
wars. European guilt at the colonial
era is a large part of this, but how long must we go on paying? We hear more about colonial exploitation now
than we have ever done. I am not
unaware of the massive debts with which the World Bank and their likes have
entrapped the nations of the continent, but this should not be laid at the door
of the common European peoples.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The so-called ‘moral’ argument
for allowing endless streams of Africans into our historical homelands relies
largely on the colonial past, which ended in the aftermath of the Second World
War, and on altruistic feelings of wanting to help them. Firstly I would suggest that the aid budgets
and loans have done little to benefit the common African, and secondly that
simply allowing them to come to Europe and find a future here is not a viable
option, either for them or us, despite the assertions of bankers and eurocrats that we actually need this feral population.</span></span></div>

like semi-westernised city dwellers. I
see leather jackets, jeans and sunglasses.
But they doubtless still have the tenacity of their peasant ancestors.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is fairly obvious to me that
word has got round amongst the urban poor of Africa that Europe has gone soft
and is letting them in. And not just in
Africa, but pretty much throughout the Third World. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The likes of Angela Merkel only
encourage this. I have just seen news
coming in that Hungary, one of the few European nations to offer resistance to
the no borders and unlimited migration policy, has been whipped into line by
the EU commissars. But the Hungarian
people are not happy with this.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is based on a fundamental
misrepresentation of the African migrants.
They are put to us by the media as poor suffering refugees, fleeing a
continent riven by war and strife.
Well, I won’t argue with the riven with war and strife, but these are
wars of their own making. You don’t see
women and children on the boats coming across the Med, it’s all young men. They are clearly economic migrants. (A junior Tory minister dared suggest this a
few days ago, and was roundly attacked ~ by immigrants.)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It brings to mind a story I read
about four or five years ago when I was going through a motivational and
personal development phase. I was
reading a lot of stuff about how getting ahead in life required effort and
vision, and the implications of one story rather disturbed me. It was about how a certain African man had
not had the opportunities in his native Kenya that he sought for his economic
advancement, so he walked, hitch hiked and smuggled himself north until he
found his way to Europe and then with hard work and diligence made a life for
himself and was successful. All very
well when it is one person alone, but I fear that many millions of Africans
have heard such stories and are planning to do the same. In fact, one of the main points of the story
was put over that you have to go where the opportunities are, you won’t make a
million in the desert. True ~ but do
these people have the right to impose themselves on us? I would suggest that the answer is no, or at
least that we have an equal right to defend our ancestral lands from
invaders. The lack of obvious firearms
does not prevent them from being invaders.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The price of Globalisation is
that hot spots of economic activity attract people to them. But the downsides are many. The indigenous populations of the hot spots,
such as Europe and the United States, become marginalised in their own lands. (And before you complain about Americans of
Australians not being indigenous, ask yourself how the Native Americans or
Australian Original people will do if their countries are taken over by Islam
and Sharia law, or is swamped out by African or mestizo populations? Less well than at present I would suggest.) </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The incoming populations do not
become like the indigenous. At first
they may have been compliant with the local culture, but as time has gone on
and they have become stronger in numbers, they have become more assertive. The demographic time bomb of what is now
potentially millions of feral Africans settling in Europe, in addition to the
already burgeoning Middle Eastern Islamic population, is something that the
likes of Angela Merkel seem not to understand, other than to want to
promote it. Remember Count Richard
Coudenhove-Kalergi? This is exactly
what he described, and claimed was necessary.</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The incoming African boat people
will not become like us. They see this
as an opportunity. Europe, which always
in the past was an unattainable Elysium, has become soft and faces an
existential crisis as to its identity and future.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">From an evolutionary survival
adaptation perspective the African behaviour is perfectly understandable. Organisms seek environments in which they
can prosper. This happens all the way
from the amoeba to human beings. But
all organisms need to defend their territories, and the leaders of Europe have
abdicated that responsibility for this.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Social Justice Warrior crowd
have now built a collective zeitgeist in which the ideas of ‘One People’ and
‘No Borders’ have become dominant memes.
But they do this with no recourse to anything other than claimed
morality. Why should you have all the
benefits of European civilisation just because you were born there? Why should the poor of the Third World not
be entitled to all those benefits as well?
Your borders are artificial constructs etc etc etc </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Not long ago a friend stated on
social media that (he believed) it was ‘immoral’ to maintain European borders
against migrants who wished to come here.
He asserted this as if it were a proven fact that brooked no
disagreement. This chap lives in a
rural part of southern England where he probably doesn’t see a non-European
face from one week to the next. He,
like so many of the liberal classes of the west, is not yet impacted by the
social and demographic impacts of many millions of people arriving here to take
perceived opportunities. Unlike those of us in large cities.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And yet it is admitted from time
to time that the Third World migrants harbour in their midst murderers, drug
traffickers, rapists and all manner of undesirables. Their identities and criminal records are uncheckable by European
border authorities. A recent incident
involved some twenty five boat people being murdered by their fellow travellers
because they were Christians. Not that
I imagine they were wonderful people, but if that is how a boat load of
immigrants treat others of their people simply for being Christians, then how
might we expect them to treat white European people? It was recently admitted that 100% of rapes in Oslo are committed
by people of non-Norwegian ancestry ~ immigrants. Obviously some immigrants are more responsible than others, but
the kind of unrestricted migration we are seeing at present across the Med from
Africa is unlikely to be dominated by the kind of responsible, educated
immigrant that the Labour party went to so much effort to present to us before
the election. I would venture that
there are few brain surgeons or information technology experts amongst the African
boat people.</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The leadership of the West has
abdicated responsibility. Either they
have lost the plot entirely or have been co-opted by interests who seek to
destroy the West in the manner proposed by Count Kalergi.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Every nation and people have the
right to control their borders and maintain dominance in their own ancestral lands. This is a fundamental fact which has been
ceaselessly attacked, undermined, argued against and sneered at increasingly
over the last few decades. And yet all
other ethnic groups, all other countries and nations are permitted to maintain
their borders, control the movements of immigrants into their territories and
define themselves by their ethnicity.
Except those peoples of white European ancestry.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">One of my favourite episodes from
ancient literature is from the Bhagavad Gita.
On the night before the great Battle of Kuruksetra, Arjuna asks Krishna
why it is necessary to face his relative the Kauravas in battle, and if there is any alternative. In essence, Krishna replies ‘You would
rather let them kill you and your entire family then?’</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Christian morality is fine when
you live in an homogeneous culture where all share the high trust values. But allowing in millions of people from
different cultures that don’t believe in these values is suicide. They see our high trust societies as a soft
touch to be exploited, taken over and turned to their values. If you think that muslims and Africans will
become like us rather than adhere to their own ancestral values, then I wish
you luck with that when you are stoned to death for having views on women’s
rights or freedom of speech. I have heard
recently that in mosques muslims often talk about ‘When the time comes’. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And what time might that be I
wonder? Anyone who imagines that an
aggressive belief system which has conquered some fifty or so countries by the
sword and which makes no secret of the fact that it seeks to ‘convert’ (coerce)
the rest of the world to its ‘peaceful’ ways is living in a fantasy land. The body count of the jihad over the
centuries stands at some 300 million or so I understand. Lovely practices such as 'striking off the fingertips', or simple beheading, of unbelievers are recommended in the koran as methods whereby they can achieve mastery.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The leadership and peoples of the
West face a severe existential challenge.
Do we continue with a universalist ethics which insists we give away all
that our ancestors achieved because someone has found a vulnerable point in our
ethics that they can exploit like a Trojan horse virus, or do we face up to the
fact that we have to protect ourselves from being swamped out by barbarians? It happened to Byzantium and
all the remains of the Roman Empire. Charles Martel prevented it in 732 at Poitiers.
The good people of Austria saw it face to face in 1683 when the muslim hordes
besieged the gates of Vienna.</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Do we let our identity and
culture fold because we have had a manipulative mind game played against us to
make us feel guilty of our historical success, or do we follow the
suggestion of Krishna, and seek to secure a future for ourselves, our European peoples and children?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You decide. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Okay, a bit of a long one here
folks, so make yourself comfortable, I hope I will be able to keep your
attention or that you will come back and finish reading this later. It deals
with some, but by no means all, of my issues with Gender Studies.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">One of the good things about
being a graduate of Leeds University, and living not far from it, is that I
occasionally get to go to free seminars there, such as the one offered
yesterday by the Interdisciplinary Department of Gender Studies.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Before you flee at the mention of
the pseudo-science that calls itself Gender Studies, please let me reassure you
that these days it is high on my BS-ometer, but that is the reason why I feel
the need to take opportunities like this to give myself something to get my
teeth into as I begin my task of destroying its feeble basis and excuses for
existence.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Not that I hold with the idea
that sex and gender differences should not be scientifically examined.<span> </span>No problem with the idea, it is just that
the current dominant theoretical ground on which GS stands is as firm as
quicksand.<span> </span>In other words, it has no
firm footing in scientific evidence.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Let me fill a little
background.<span> </span>I had a good start with
this subject when as an undergraduate in the seventies I was tutored by Dr John
Blundell, already an established figure in the field of physiological and
biological Psychology, and later to become Professor of the entire School of
Psychology at Leeds University.<span> </span>I
attended his lectures on these subjects and found out much about brain mechanisms
such as the hypothalamus and its complex control of hunger and thirst
homeostatic drives and so on.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">By the mid seventies much had
also been learnt about sex drives and how prenatal hormones had
predeterminitive effects on both these and gender identity.<span> </span>Whatever people may think of rat studies
there is an immense amount of hard data that has accrued from them over many
decades and it would be foolish to ignore things that have been learnt from
them.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So when we come to gender
studies, one might imagine that what has been learnt about sex differences
might be thought of as valuable information which could deeply inform our
studies of gender.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Sadly, you might be wrong.<span> </span>Gender Studies may promote itself as
‘Inter-Disciplinary’, but there is no significant input from the academic
discipline of Psychology, certainly not from neuro-psychology or related
fields.<span> </span>It is taken as axiomatic that
there are no significant psychological or behavioural differences between the
sexes.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Had they arrived at this conclusion
after studying the evidence of generations of experimental psychologists, not
only in neurophysiology but in long term behavioural observation and come to
this conclusion, one might disagree, but at least hope that they could provide
a rationale for their conclusions with reference to the overview of the
evidence they had sifted through.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">No such luck I’m afraid.<span> </span>As I have said, it is axiomatic to academics
in Gender Studies that there are no innate differences in psychology (thought
or behaviour) between men and women.<span> </span>So
the biological developmental evidence doesn’t need to be looked at.<span> </span>They aren’t interested and it actually
becomes something they resent.<span> </span>My
assessment of this is that it is considered politically incorrect to suggest
such differences since the current political agenda seeks to equalise everyone.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But what is wrong with Equality I
hear you say!<span> </span>Are you suggesting that
we are or should not all be Equal?<span>
</span>Well, as a Philosopher, a Psychologist and an Art Therapist, I will have
to insist on quibbling about this, well, quite a lot.</span></span></div>

Marxist Comintern are probably lining me up for re-education by now, but
really, if this concept is so important then it needs to be clear what it
means, so please bear with me.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I recall my first conversation
about this with someone who is probably still as much of a Feminist today as
she was forty years ago when we had this conversation.<span> </span>We were discussing sex differences and
women’s equality, rights and feminism.<span>
</span>I said ‘But there are differences between the sexes which go beyond
physical differences, surely there is psychological evidence for this?’<span> </span>‘<b>Yes</b>’ she replied, ‘but we can’t
acknowledge that, or it will be used against us.’<span> </span>This lady was a wonderful person and I count her as a friend to
this day, but that is not an intellectually honest and defensible
position.<span> </span>Truth cannot be hidden or
reversed when it has an important bearing on a subject.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Which brings me tangentially to a
point which came up yesterday.<span> </span>The final
speaker of the afternoon was Jon Mermelstein, an American exchange student in
his twenties who spoke about ‘Lad culture in American Universities’.<span> </span>I thought he was actually the best speaker
of the day, and I learnt a lot about frat houses on US campuses which I would
not otherwise have ever come across, and it is certainly the case that some of
the behaviour he detailed is bang out of order as some say here in
Blighty.<span> </span>However he gave one example
that I had to pick up on, the case of ‘Mattress Girl’ Emma Sulkowitz, the young
lady who dragged her mattress around with her for an extended period after she
claimed that a young man had raped her on it.<span>
</span>The point about this being that it had been demonstrated to the
satisfaction of her college that the young man was not guilty of rape.<span> </span>They had had an on-off relationship for a
while but had parted and it was only some time later that she started sending
him lewd texts and eventually made her allegations against him.<span> </span>In a case such as this one is forced to
choose between the evidence and the claims of the plaintiff.<span> </span>I am not convinced that entirely unsupported
claims of rape should be entertained without some external corroboration.<span> </span>I know this is an unpopular view amongst
feminists, but how far should one stretch the requirements of legal proof in
such an instance?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Anyway, the fact is that she
never substantiated the allegations to the college, and she has won no case
against him or in a court of law.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I respect Mr Mermelstein
immensely for the fact that when I put it to him that this was a bogus case he
immediately conceded and said that he had not been aware of it, and that he
should have looked for a better example.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There was dissent against me in
the audience, and I’m really disappointed to say that a young lady with whom I
have been acquainted since the Occupy Leeds event in City Square in 2011 and
who now is involved as a post graduate in the Department of Gender Studies
spoke up against me.<span> </span>I am happy that she
did not contest my assertion (based on facts I had researched) that this was a
fraudulent case, but seemed to argue that it didn’t matter, and rather that it
was justified because of other cases that were real.<span> </span>Or at least that was my understanding at the time, several others
were speaking against me so I may not have it entirely correct, but that seemed
to be the gist.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In a way this summarises my whole
problem with the supposed academic discipline of Gender Studies.<span> </span>As I have said, they ignore or reject the
objective evidence on their subject, and in this precise case, where even the
person presenting the evidence deferred, others, zealots to the cause press
forward.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The implications of such
intellectual dishonesty are quite extensive.<span>
</span>Firstly, the subject matter of the day was ‘Lad Culture’.<span> </span>As I have said, some of this behaviour,
especially on college campuses is quite awful, if what is claimed to happen
does indeed happen.<span> </span>I wouldn’t contest
that.<span> </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But you have to get your evidence
straight.<span> </span>Making false allegations of
rape against an innocent young man who had understood that their relationship
was entirely consensual is bad enough, but then others wanting to use this
false claim as evidence in the feminist campaigns which tar men as sexual
predators is completely unacceptable.<span>
</span>Yes, there are sexual predators out there, but you have not correctly
identified them, and you have instead identified an individual and by
implication young men similar to him, falsely.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A question I did not get round to
asking because there were too many other points to pick up, and I could tell I
was already making myself unpopular with some of the more high profile members
of the day’s presentation team for asking the kind of questions that they
didn’t approve of, was about the MGTOW movement in the States.<span> </span>(Our American guest might have had something
to say about that.)<span> </span>MGTOW to British
and European readers is ‘Men Going Their Own Way’, and is apparently a
phenomenon which has recently arisen in the States amongst young men who feel
that Feminism has attacked men and left them with nothing.<span> </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I don’t really agree with the
reaction of these young men, it sounds defeatist to me, and going into a monk
like reclusion from engagement with women can only lead to none of them
producing children for the next generation, so it is kind of crazy, but I can
see the psychological mechanics behind this, defeatist as it may be.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">False rape accusations are
extremely serious.<span> </span>Claiming that a high
profile lie should be perpetuated because it promotes a larger truth is even
more dangerous.<span> </span>The promotion of this
lie actually plays into a bigger picture which I believe is a part of the MGTOW
rationale, that of false rape accusation.<span>
</span>To even suggest that one rape allegation has ever been false is
something that would probably enrage many feminists. But I have heard the
possibility raised that there might be a vein of false accusations, perhaps
arising from regrets about ended relationships going on.<span> </span>That there could be a covert, or even
unconscious revenge behaviour being here enacted?<span> </span>We are so hobbled by Political Correctness that any examination
of a ‘victim’ is seen as ‘insensitive’.<span>
</span>This is a license for falsehood.<span>
</span>Would a perceived ‘victim’ ever exploit their position and make false
allegations?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">False accusations, characterised
by say, well, Mattress Girl?<span> </span>When a
culture exists which refuses to question and analyse because it is
‘insensitive’ then the door is wide open for abuse of what one might call a
privilege ~ the privilege of being above question.<span> </span>We hear a lot about ‘privilege’ these days, but being protected
from questions or investigation and having every word you say believed fits the
very meaning of ‘privilege’ ~ ‘Private Law’.<span>
</span>They are above the law that applies to the men that they accuse, in a
legal realm of their own.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So with this kind of culture of
lies and superior privilege, I can’t really blame the MGTOW boys if they have
had enough and back away from engagement with that kind of reality, even if it
is non survival adaptive for our species.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As a Psychologist my view has to
be one of evolutionary adaptation.<span> </span>If a
behaviour or characteristic is not evolutionarily adaptive, then it will not
carry on to the future.<span> </span>The MGTOWs may
be non-survival adaptive, but so are the Feminists who seemingly make it so
hard for men to have relationships with them that they give up.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We may be a little more complex
than the sticklebacks that I heard Niko Tinbergen describe to a packed Rupert
Beckett lecture theatre in 1976, but the biological drives which motivate us
are deeply rooted in as many billions of years of cellular evolution as
theirs.<span> </span>Everything in us is
biology.<span> </span>Thought is biology.<span> </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Feminism is deeply ingrained with
abstract idealistic ideology which refuses to take this into account, or
criticises it as ‘reactionary’ and ‘bourgeois’.<span> </span>The Fabian Society stained glass window shows Sydney Webb about
to smash the world, held in place by GB Shaw, waiting for the hammer blow.<span> </span>It is true that occasional catastrophes have
caused the world to be remade and new layers of evolution have emerged, but
these are seismic, geological, meteorological or cosmic events which we cannot
avoid.<span> </span>To actively seek, or even create
catastrophe, as Sydney Webb is seen about to do, is reckless, a dangerous act
of egoism which he seems about to inflict on all humanity.<span> </span>I shall have to return to the theme of how
Marxism has claimed the right to invade everyone’s life and change it to the
will of another at a later time as this is too large a subject to allow myself
any further digression, but it is a big part of all this.<span> </span>In one sentence, Marxism has turned Feminism
into a weapon that is being used against the human race, especially the west
who have been most influenced by it.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I used to call myself a Feminist,
and in the days when one was still seeking empowerment this might have meant
something, but in the last decade or two it has gone somewhere else.<span> </span>Like the academics of Gender Studies,
Feminists are often not too keen on recognising factual reality.<span> </span>In this case, the factual reality of
survival adaptation is that women need to bear enough children to replace our
people.<span> </span>Not every woman, but enough to
balance out the loss from old age.<span> </span>Kind
of basic statement of fact one might think, but the implications are
enormous.<span> </span>The social trends that have
occurred in the last forty years or more have led to women having children at
much later ages, and therefore having fewer.<span>
</span>This is partly due to economic pressures put on the population by the
international power elites, but would not be possible if the social values
around this had not changed.<span> </span>In other
words, not only providing income to make ends meet, but rather pursuing a
career, which thus takes the place of a family.<span> </span>In her late thirties the career woman might think about when and
if she will have children, but even if she does, she will probably only take a
short time off for the childbearing and then be back to work with the child in
day care.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So the birth rate falls.<span> </span>When I mentioned this to the young lady in
an adjacent seat before the seminar began, she said, ‘Yes, but in an
overpopulated world that is okay’.<span> </span>My
reply was that in a world where all nations have a falling birth rate, that
would be fine, but when one group such as Europeans has a falling birth rate, and
the rest of the world does not, then eventually Europeans will become an
insignificant minority.<span> </span>We are only 8%
of world population, when a century ago we were 15%.<span> </span>The medical advances our scientists have made allow other races
to breed at a faster rate, while our own people, thinking they are being
responsible, decline and dwindle in number.<span>
</span>She said she hadn’t thought about it like that.<span> </span>I hope she will now.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So the social change which
Feminism allows also reduces the place in the world of those who practise
it.<span> </span>Feminism is less survival adaptive
than Islam.<span> </span>Wow.<span> </span>Think about it.<span> </span>Islam is an ideology which produces more babies than Feminism,
therefore it is more survival adaptive.<span>
</span>Pretty scary thought that?<span> </span>I
don’t want to end up overwhelmed by Muslims, so I think we need to find a more
survival adaptive ideology than the one which is a big part of the decline of
Europeans world wide.<span> </span>In case you
haven’t heard, if something doesn’t change big time, native English people can
expect to be a minority in England about forty years from now.<span> </span>I’ll probably be dead in 2055, but I don’t
want to live my declining years in a Sharia Caliphate, so we’d better start
thinking about how we can prevent it.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">One of the most astounding things
about Feminists and Gender Studies academics is that they seem to be in favour
of supporting Islam in general, or at least are so engaged with ‘diversity’
that they are entirely blind to the fact that if Islam gains an hegemony in
Britain then we can say goodbye to equal rights for women, gay people and so
forth.<span> </span>But that would only be the
beginning.<span> </span>Britain is not a tiny banana
republic.<span> </span>If Britain fell to Islam
there would be major triumphalism and repression of the native British.<span> </span>To those who say this is paranoia, I would
suggest they look at the history of Islam and how all fifty or so countries
which follow it were converted through the sword, Jihad.<span> </span>This is the real terrifying outcome option
which too many people refuse to acknowledge.<span>
</span>I’m still hearing people say that it is xenophobic to not want millions
of foreigners to swarm into our stable countries because we have to look after
them, they are such poor victims.<span>
</span>Feminism fails to understand the dangers in this to themselves.<span> </span>Well these are subjects I will have to hold
over for later, as I still have a lot to say about Gender Studies.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">While I’m around this area I’ll
just briefly mention what was to me an egregious example of this kind of thing
in action.<span> </span>In the first part of the
event <span style="color: black;">Dr Alison Phipps, Head of the Dept of Gender
Studies a the University of Sussex and Dr Vanita Sundaram, University of York
spoke about their work on ‘lad behaviour’.<span>
</span>In the Q and A session after this the finding that Black and Minority Ethnic
groups had a higher incidence of male sexual molestation of women came up.<span> </span>In a very nice demonstration of experimental
confirmation bias I heard Dr Phipps excuse this away as being the result of
different cultural values and the men not understanding the non-verbal signals
the women were giving.<span> </span>It was never
suggested that some of these cultures might have values which are inimical to
ours or that of Feminists.<span> </span>Personally,
I should say from my own knowledge of young men in the 19/20 age group, that
many of them have very little idea about the signals women are giving off and
misinterpret them for whatever reason.<span>
</span>The bias was clearly to let BME perpetrators off the hook, but pin the
blame squarely on the native British lads.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;">So
these middle class academics cloak their results with the attitudes they wish
to promote.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">At the core of this is the abdication of agency and
responsibility that we see.<span> </span>This arises
from a sense of guilt which has been covertly sown amongst us and with which
too many have been infected.<span> </span>It was
truly cringeworthy to hear <span>Michael
Conroy of ‘A Call to Men, UK’ talk about how ‘men are the problem’ and how they
need to be trained from birth to act respectfully.<span> </span>I could almost see the iron collar about his neck and the chain
leading to his handler.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>I would suggest that
neither men nor women are the problem, but that we need to negotiate and evolve
our relationships on the basis of our individual differences.<span> </span>So women need to respect how men are, and
men need to do that to women.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>An aside again to
my old Occupation comrade.<span> </span>I spoke to
her shortly before the show began, and she talked about doing her PhD on the
sexualisation of men.<span> </span>I asked her about
the influence of testosterone on this and how she would cover it.<span> </span>Her reply was to ask why she would need to,
since some women have polycystic ovaries which produce testosterone.<span> </span>Well, a very small number do, and the amount
of testosterone they produce varies.<span>
</span>Some women have so much that they suffer hirsutism and severe acne.<span> </span>Others have only minor or no consequences
due to lower levels.<span> </span>She then asked me
what is ‘normal’ anyway with regard to hormone levels, and my simple reply was
‘What is the case with the vast majority of women’.<span> </span>Fortunately we didn’t have time to go into the eternal regress
which Gender Studies academics are prone to, deconstructing every concept which
doesn’t fit their world view, until we are in a world where everything is
merely a construct and could be entirely different if we chose it to be.<span> </span>To them we don’t live in a world of
biological bodies in time with hormones and developmental processes, but in a
world of ideals, where these things are politically incorrect impositions to be
resented.<span> </span>Reproduction as the gift of
women for the perpetuation of our people is turned into a burden to be shunned
as if it is the fault of men punishing women.</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>Neither reason nor
empirical evidence is of any use to the Gender Studies academic who pursues
only the correct ideology which seeks always to elevate the victim and control
any threat.<span> </span>This is an ideology which
treats people as caged animals to be controlled, but surely we all know that an
animal which is caged can become dangerous when it is not allowed to express
its instinctual drives. Men have strong drives which are mostly absent in
women, who have other feelings and motivations.<span> </span>Sure, there is an overlap, survival adaptation likes that.<span> </span>I have to say these things because we have
been propagandised that there is no difference for so long that the Gender
Studies people have been successful to some degree in convincing the general
population.<span> </span>Only where the propaganda
has been run mind you, but that is ubiquitous in European civilisations.<span> </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>The internal
contradictions of so much of this should be obvious after a little
thought.<span> </span>There are no psychological
differences between the sexes, but men are the problem.<span> </span>Women can seek to dominate men with lies
because men are so bad.<span> </span>But this is all
the fault of patriarchal society apparently.<span>
</span>The fact that all the hardest jobs in our world are done by men and that
they die on average five years earlier than women of comparable class, having
often supported us financially, is of no account.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>I do not deny that
there is an element in society, and in education, which engages in ‘lad’
behaviour for want of a better term, and some is out of order.<span> </span>But simple blame and contain will not do for
anyone of any intellectual rigour.<span> </span>Men
need to have constructive outlets for their energies in ways that allow them to
take risks and build character and confidence. <span> </span>This is how our ancestors grew for millennia.<span> </span>It needs to be adapted to our present world,
but a way must be found to express these instinctive drives, as it does with
women.<span> </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>As a society we
need to train ourselves to be the best we can be, not just anything that we
could be.</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>In relation to
this vision of what we should be, Dr Phipps presentation was a litany of
negativity.<span> </span>I will single out the
absence of a positive and active contribution to building strength in women to
deal with men on an equal level of respect.<span>
</span>When I asked a question about how social skills and personal empowerment
were important for women in how not to get into dodgy situations, or how such
things could help them prevent things going bad if they have got into one of
those situations, the knee jerk response which I knew would come back at me was
that we didn’t want to be making it the victim’s fault if she got raped.<span> </span>I knew this was the reply so I had my answer
ready.<span> </span>That on an interactional
behavioural basis, every detail and nuance of a person’s behaviour contributes
to the gestalt assessment of the other and so is continuously modifying the
choice tree that they dyad is going down.<span>
</span>To refuse to take a path that you could, to abdicate or deny
responsibility is as much a choice as it would be to take make some proactive
choice which could prevent further slippage in the situation.<span> </span>Isn’t this obvious?</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>I first began to
become aware that there were problems with this model of intimate interactions
as one in which women were not expected to take responsibility a few years ago
when the ‘Slutwalks’ began.<span> </span>This is way
beyond ‘Reclaim the Night’.<span> </span>This is
provocative dressing presented as a right.<span>
</span>‘Whatever we wear, wherever we go, Yes means Yes, and No means No’.<span> </span>Okay, well, in principle, that sounds
fine.<span> </span>But I’m reminded of Pussy Riot
and their behaviour in a place which is sacred to a large portion of the
Russian people.<span> </span>There are times and
there are places in which some things are done, and others when they are
not.<span> </span>They demand the right to provoke
anytime, anywhere.</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>What we have here
is a society where constant confrontation and coercion to certain group norms
are in themselves a norm.<span> </span>This
continually pushes the boundaries of the ‘Overton Window’ and the norms move
further to the left.<span> </span>There was one
point when I was listening to Michael Conroy when I had a distinct feeling that
I was witnessing some kind of proselytising or propaganda briefing.<span> </span>His group ‘A Call to Men UK’ runs four day
workshops which cost a cool £2,500.<span> </span>As
I recall these are basically training exercises in how to be a good ‘agent for
change’ I think is the euphemism.<span> </span>In
other words, a mole to gnaw at the roots of everyone’s conventional and
traditional beliefs so that they become good Cultural Marxists who will police
and enforce the ‘Correct’ views on themselves and everyone they encounter.</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>There was some
debate raised by my question to Dr Phipps so I said I would catch her in the
break.<span> </span>When that came around I motioned
to her across the room but she didn’t respond.<span>
</span>Shortly, after finding the tea and snacks, I stood next to where she and
another were talking.<span> </span>When their
conversation flagged, I positioned myself in relation to them so that it was
quite clear I was initiating a discourse.<span>
</span>She barely made eye contact and was reluctant to engage with me.<span> </span>I raised the subject of social skills again
and mentioned the work of Dr Paul Ekman (made famous by the series Lie To Me a
few years ago).<span> </span>She had not heard of
him.<span> </span>He is a world famous researcher in
physical anthropology who has established conclusively that there are such
things as universal facial expressions which correlate with mood or
affect.<span> </span>I was introduced to this
subject by Dr Blundell when it was new material back in the seventies.<span> </span>It has since been massively consolidated and
Dr Ekman has gone on to do work with the Dalai Lama on the quality of human
interaction and related subjects.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>He also runs
advanced training courses for crisis negotiators, psychotherapists, police
interrogators and so forth on recognition of micro expressions and their
understanding as ‘tells’ about whether people are lying, telling the truth or
their emotional state.<span> </span>Dr Ekman is at
the cutting edge of a well established science of behavioural interaction
arising out of ethological and physical anthropological studies over many
decades.<span> </span>The intellectual foundation is
in biology and evolutionary adaptation of behaviour and communication.</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>What has this to
do with ‘Lad Culture’ and the response of Feminists to that culture?<span> </span>It is an entry point to behavioural
management of intimate personal interactions.<span>
</span>If you better understand the person you are with then you not only have
a better chance of predicting their behaviour, but you have a better chance
also of responding adaptively in real time.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>All that Dr Phipps
had to offer was ‘Consent Training’.<span>
</span>How to know when to give consent to intimate behaviour or not.<span> </span>I would suggest that this is far too
particular, and far too far into the interpersonal interaction for it to be
able to maximise benefit.<span> </span>My own
experience as it probably is with millions of others, is that when things get
to a certain point in intimate situations, then consent is something that is
implicit.<span> </span>It is much easier to not slip
down a slippery slope if you have not stepped onto it in the first place.<span> </span>The whole feminist ideology around this sees
it as an experience to control, rather than manage, which I think is a big
difference.<span> </span>If you properly manage your
situation, then it won’t get out of control.<span>
</span>And I not blaming the victim.<span> </span>I
am simply discussing how to avoid disaster.<span>
</span>If you can see the train coming, get off the tracks because it’s not
going to take any notice or you.</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>The funniest thing
about my interaction with Dr Phipps was her so clear and obvious avoidance
behaviour which continued through our short conversation.<span> </span>She was continually looking around and
didn’t pay me full attention.<span> </span>When I
pointed out that she had made little of her ‘Consent Training’ during the
speech and that I felt it needed to be part of a larger concept of personal
skills and empowerment she simply said ‘Well I’m telling you now.’<span> </span>The reason it was so funny was because
thinking about Paul Ekman I couldn’t help be amused at how her facial
expressions<span> </span>indicated suppressed anger
through her frown, narrowed eyes and down turned mouth.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>It is really such
a disappointment that the supposedly multi or interdisciplinary subject of
Gender Studies should have abandoned the scientific aspects of its purview and
launched itself off into space with an agenda of political goals to be enforced
by interpersonal challenge and policing.</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>One last example.
Michael Conroy treated us to a short clip of Harry Enfield, Paul Whitehouse and
another chap whose name I don’t know.<span>
</span>It is the Fishing/Beethoven sketch.<span>
</span>It was well observed, as are many of Enfield and Whitehouse’s
sketches.<span> </span>Basically two of the
fishermen wanted to talk about a Beethoven concert but the third would sneer at
that and then the first two would be cowed and make jokes about tits and bums
to get back in favour.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>This was presented
as an example of ‘Lad Culture’ which penetrates even to older blokes, and which
must be challenged.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>I despair.</span></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>Mr Conroy said he
was I think 46 or maybe 47 so he should be old enough to have some memory of
Desmond Morris, he of ‘The Naked Ape’ fame, and ‘The Human Zoo’.<span> </span>Paradigm shifting works, which may be a
little dated now, but are fundamentally sound in their conception.<span> </span>Dr Morris would simply point out the
ethological basis of the three males’ behaviour.<span> </span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>Harry Enfield is
the Alpha, for whatever reasons, but at least partly because he doesn’t care
what the others think about him.<span> </span>They,
on the other hand are afraid of what Enfield will judge on them, so they are
kept in line.<span> </span>To step out would risk
engaging in open conflict or be put down.<span>
</span>When you see this with two male wild animals it can be messy or over in
seconds when the Beta male realises he cannot win.<span> </span>The Paul Whitehouse character and the other Beta shrink before
Enfield when he returns to the group and are afraid to carry on talking about
Beethoven.<span> </span>This is nothing about
‘Laddism’ or ‘sexism’, it is all about keeping their places in the dominance
hierarchy.<span> </span>It is a largely unconscious
process and they don’t really understand why they do it.<span> </span>Should they understand, they would have to
choose between carrying on, challenging the Alpha, or leaving the group.<span> </span>The first is the status quo, the second very
risky, and the third is probably the mark of an emerging new Alpha seeking his
own path.<span> </span>This is all ethological
behaviour with clear analogues in the animal kingdom but the Gender Studies do
not care if there is a deeper explanation than their political one.<span> </span>All they would like to do is smash the power
of the Alpha.<span> </span>But we need the Alpha.<span> </span>In times of danger the Alpha acts
assertively and can save the tribe.<span> </span>The
evolutionary psychology of which Ekman and Morris represent some of the best,
is almost entirely unknown to Gender Studies.<span>
</span>Evolutionary Psychology angers them because it is incompatible with
their idealistic view of how the world <i>should</i> be, and what they want to
change it into.<span> </span>The realities of
evolutionary adaptation are to be rejected as politically incorrect.<span> </span>‘Lad Culture’ must be ruthlessly suppressed
and controlled. <span> </span>The idea of empowered
men who have found meaning and purpose in their lives through positive role
models and rites of passage would be threatening to the Feminist drones who
would not be able to control them.<span> </span>Both
women and men have intuitive status hierarchies established by subtle non
verbal cues.<span> </span>But for either to seek to
be approved of by the hierarchy of the other side and rise up that hierarchy,
as some in the politically approved ‘Men’s Movement’ do is to abdicate power.<span> </span>Both men and women have their own power, however
it is important not only to recognise it in yourself, but in the other
also.<span> </span>To deny or suppress it to mere
social conformity is destructive to our spirit.<span> </span>We are wild creatures and need to reclaim that in our souls.<span> </span>Perhaps then we will find a respect and
balance between the polarities.</span></span></span></div>

thoughts on:</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>Why do so many
people fear challenging the norms of Political Correctness?</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>The
Asymptote:<span> </span>2012 and beyond.<span> </span>How everything we thought we knew is being
reversed before our very eyes.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>Political
Correctness in itself.<span> </span>Why is it being
enforced so ever more fanatically?<span> </span>Why
are there certain topics and objective facts that the collective herd freak out
about if they are mentioned? </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>I don’t know quite
what the subject will actually be, but it will be something around these
areas.<span> </span>The last one is a big favourite
of mine and I am looking forward to tackling that one.<span> </span>Also there are topics around the
interpretation of history where I would like to examine the attitudes of
contemporary people to them rather than the actual event or material evidence
for it.<span> </span>The limited scope of History in
education these days is of great concern to me, so that will find its way in
somewhere too.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>Beowulf may seem to some to be an
odd place to start an analysis of politically correct Newspeak, but since it is
at the root of our English culture I believe it is quite appropriate, as it is
those values that Political Correctness and Newspeak wish to undermine and
destroy.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>I am
something of a newcomer to Beowulf, having been rather daunted by the stature
of the epic, in the same way as I was with the Baghavad Gita, but both are
actually quite short and can be read in half a day or so.</span></span></span></div>

is infamous for his uncompleted manuscripts and it is said that he abandoned
his Beowulf in an unpolished form.<span> </span>The
annotation does indeed lie unfinished, but on reading the actual translation
itself I found it gripping and atmospheric.<span>

somewhat surprised that on the webcast launch of the newly published edition
Tolkien experts were saying that, while it may be wonderful to have a new/old
text from the Professor, it wouldn’t really stand as a major translation and
was mostly of academic interest.<span> </span>I
cannot claim to be an expert on the Anglo-Saxon, although I have done some
research on Tolkien with respect to his local sojourn here in Leeds during the
early nineteen twenties and believe I have gained some feel for his character
and interests.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>It is well
recognised that there are a number of scenes and situations in both The Hobbit
and Lord of the Rings which are based on vignettes from Beowulf, but not least
is the fact that it was the heroic ethic, as much as any formal details of the
story, which inspired Tolkien.<span> </span>His

warrior Beowulf is keen to aid his kinsman Hrothgar and his clan against the
predations of the ogre Grendel, and when it turns out that Grendel’s mother
continues his evil work once he has been slain, he goes into her lair and
despatches her as well.<span> </span>Having achieved
this he is praised and rewarded by Hrothgar before he returns over the sea to
his people in the land of the Geats.</span></span></span></div>

thrall who had crept inside and stolen a golden goblet.<span> </span>(The inspiration for Bilbo’s escapade under
the Mountain in The Hobbit.)<span> </span>Aided only
by his loyal warrior comrade Wiglaf, he confronts the dragon and deals it a
fatal blow, but not before he has been mortally injured himself.<span> </span>A burial mound is then raised over his
funeral pyre (thought to be Skalunda in southern Sweden) and the poem ends with
his people fearing an uncertain future at the hands of Frisians and Franks now
that their hero is no more.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>Since I
had seen the animated film version sufficiently long ago to forget the details
of the plot, when I actually read the translation it slipped past me that there
were significant differences.<span> </span>Recently
I rewatched the video and was left wondering if I had missed niceties in the
poem when I had read it.<span> </span>Having been at
the time somewhat preoccupied by other matters I had only read it through once
and not studied it in close detail.<span> </span>I
therefore had recourse to reread it, having greater leisure at my disposal with
some downtime over Christmas.<span> </span>I also availed
myself of the Seamus Heaney translation (1999), a much easier version than
Tolkien’s, recounted as it is in a modern idiom, so that I didn’t miss anything
which might have been hidden in the Professor’s archaic style.</span></span></span></div>

shocked to realise that the animated version had diverged from the original in
many aspects.<span> </span>I understand that stories
often need adaptation to make them workable on the screen, but too often these
adaptations change and even pervert the intended meanings of the original
works.<span> </span>Peter Jackson’s rewriting of
some parts of the Lord of the Rings come to mind as examples of this,
particularly the changing of Faramir’s behaviour towards Frodo when he finds
that he carries the Ring, or Frodo’s behaviour towards Sam on the stair above Minas
Morgul.<span> </span>In both instances the
honourable behaviour displayed in the book is changed so that the characters
become less and their ethical choices (the essence of the story) debased.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span><span> </span>Gaiman is a highly respected scifi/fantasy
writer, and I have enjoyed some of his work, such as on Doctor Who, but was

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>In his
rewrite of Beowulf he tampered with what has always been the substance of the
story, the honour and worthiness of the hero.<span>
</span>In fact, nearly all the characters have been debased and made less
worthy.<span> </span>Hrothgar, for instance, is
shown estranged from his wife, and eventually commits suicide when his dark
secret is sensed by Beowulf, rather than praising his champion and sending him
home with a reward of treasure.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>But the
core of the rewrite clusters around the proposition that Beowulf is not ‘a
reliable witness’ when it comes to his report that he slew Grendel’s mother
with the giant’s blade in her underwater lair.<span>
</span>The fact that there were no other eyewitnesses than the hero himself is
used by Gaiman and his co-writer to suggest, or rather conclude, that Beowulf
lied and had actually come to a secret agreement with the evil spirit.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>While it
is true that we are obliged to rely on the hero’s own account, we must ask of
Gaiman and Avery what other evidence they put forward for their own
version?<span> </span>If they had simply admitted
that they wished to create a ‘dark’ version, or that they didn’t like the ethic
that prevailed in those times and wished to make a ‘modern’ version, then we
would have an honest admission that they have changed to story and its
motivations for their own reasons, and things would be clear.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>But their
claim to have reworked the story due to the ‘unreliable’ nature of the reports
raises many problems.<span> </span>There is no
mention of the golden ‘dragon horn’ in the text, Hrothgar is an honourable king
who leaves a son and heir, there is no suggestion that Beowulf takes the king’s
wife to himself after his demise, nor that the dragon at the end of the tale
had any relation to Grendel’s mother.<span>
</span>It is made clear that the dragon’s reason for attacking the Geats is his
affront at the theft of the golden goblet and it is never suggested that he has
anything against Beowulf personally, let alone that he is his offspring by
Grendel’s mother.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>I could go
on detailing the aberrant features of the storyline used in the animation, but
I hope it will by now be clear that there is a lot more going on than a mere
reinterpretation due to a piece of unsupported reporting by Beowulf.<span> </span>In fact, in the text, there are several
points observed by the bystanders which tend to support Beowulf’s own
report.<span> </span>Firstly, the boiling and
bubbling of the water with blood at the entrance to her submarine den suggests
that he had indeed slain some monster.<span>
</span>Grendel had already died, so although when his head is cut off from his
corpse in the cave and brought back to show Hrothgar it is reported by the poet
to ‘drip’ with blood, surely drips are all that there would have been having
lost an arm a day before and died in his mother’s lair, not the boiling surge
which is observed by Geats when the mother is slain.<span> </span>In addition, the giant’s blade melts from the toxicity of the
blood.<span> </span>No mention is made of Grendel’s
blood having these qualities, which surely would have been observed and
recorded when his arm was wrenched from his torso in the meadhall Heorot, had
it been so.<span> </span></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>Gaiman and
his accomplice also manage to overlook the fact that having rid the Spear Danes
of their demons, Beowulf then returns home over the sea to his own land where
he recounts his tale to his King and kinsman, Hygelac.<span> </span>In due course the kingship of the Geats comes
to Beowulf, not the kingship of the Danes who he had saved from the
monsters.<span> </span>This is absolutely clear in
the words of the poet, and the tradition remains to this day that Skalunda in
the Geatish lands is the burial mound of the hero.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>One might
be forgiven for seeing the animated version as a hatchet job designed to
discredit the reputation of the greatest hero of the Norse people.<span> </span>He is shown to make one last heroic
sacrifice with the slaying of the dragon, but when one understands that this is
portrayed as being necessitated by the consequences of his own cupidity long
ago when he supposedly succumbed to the temptations of the demon mother, rather
than kill her as he had claimed, then it is rather less noble.<span> </span>In fact it amounts to a denial of his responsibility
for what had happened, and the suggestion is<span>
</span>made at the end of the film that Wiglaf may well respond to the mother
and start the whole thing over again.<span> </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>The poem
Beowulf is recognised as probably the finest example of Anglo-Saxon poetry
surviving (one manuscript only, which miraculously survived a fire some
hundreds of years ago which lead to it being examined and copied).<span> </span>Like all great works of literature it
contains many levels and depths.<span>
</span>Tolkien’s work on it some eighty years ago, and his famous ‘Beowulf: the
Critics and the Monsters’ significantly developed understanding of the work
beyond the mere historical frame which had limited it hitherto.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>It is so
much more than an adventurous tale of killing demons.<span> </span>It could be said that its entire raison d’être was to express and
enshrine the moral values of the culture in which it was embedded.<span> </span>To extol the virtues of selfless heroism and
generosity demonstrated by Beowulf in his life and actions.<span> </span>Even had he engaged in the faithless lies
and self advancement suggested by Gaiman and Avery, (which I very much doubt)
the purpose of the story is not <i>primarily</i> to provide an accurate
historical record, (although it is drawn on what seems to be quite an accurate
canvas of actual history and identifiable people) but to teach the people
listening to the performance of this piece (for surely that is how it must have
been known to the Anglo-Saxons) the example of what high morality was
considered to be in that culture.<span> </span>We
might as well ask whether the hare really did lie down and rest so that the
tortoise could win the race when reading Aesop’s fables.<span> </span>If we want to get into historical analysis
and find out what ‘really’ happened in the moors beyond Heorot or on the
Geatish headlands we would have to accept that probably neither Grendel, his
mother, nor the dragon, actually existed and the entire business would
fall.<span> </span>But it is not about this.<span> </span>The tale was woven out of a mixture of
historical fact (Hrothgar and Hygelac really existed, as did probably Beowulf)
and mythical imagination about whatever it was that he really faced on the
moors, to create a legend of the ideal hero.<span>
</span>Did Odysseus really confront the Cyclops, the Sirens, Circe and the
rest?<span> </span>I doubt it.<span> </span>That is not the point.<span> </span>The tales of heroes tell us what we should
admire, what we should aspire to be.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span><span> </span>We can see that the deliberate
deconstruction and intentional imputation of dishonourable motives in leading
characters from the epic has led to a reading in which the hero is neither
honourable, nor the best of men.<span> </span>Had he
truly been ‘most eager for praise’ as the tale ends, then he would could never
have engaged in the lies which are imputed to him in the modern reworking.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>The part
of the cynic is played in the poem by Unferth, but even he admits that he was
wrong and that Beowulf is worthy of honour.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>However
the modern reading of all things is to take the part of Unferth and doubt
truth, without the reformation of the character which follows the demonstration
of the great deed.<span> </span>In so doing the
modern writers demonstrate their lack of understanding of the tradition and
poetic techniques from which the epic derives, or else are purposely poisoning
it.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>The
Newspeak version of Beowulf is like the news reports in 1984 which are
perpetually being rewritten so that it comes to the point where no-one knows
what really happened, and no-one cares.<span>
</span>All that matters is that the narrative supports the currently
prevailing<span> </span>attitudes and policies of
the Party.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>Subtexts abound.<span>
</span>Anything good must be brought into disrepute.<span> </span>Indeed, the very concept of ‘goodness’ must be brought down.<span> </span>Everyone only seeks their own ends and
personal glorification.<span> </span>The idea that
Beowulf might have actually wanted to do the right things because he felt a
duty to do so has to be undermined, and his motivations are deceptive, all he
wanted was the fame and any rewards that might accrue from that.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>In our
modern world, heroic, selfless behaviour has to be discredited, because post
modern cynicism insists that such a thing is impossible.<span> </span>Human nature is evil and selfish.<span> </span>What the original poet would have seen
instantly is that such ways of thought are no more than a reflection of the
motives of the ‘analyst’, the projection of his own cowardice and failure to
act honourably.<span> </span>Gaiman and Avary have
entered the mindset of Unferth before he repented, and have imprisoned
themselves there.<span> </span>In the mythic world,
this is a mere fragment of reality, and one that must be integrated and if
possible rectified.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>I recently
heard Owen Jones, the rising young firebrand of the new Left speak and was
dismayed to hear him say that ‘The individual alone can achieve nothing, only
collective action can bring about change’.<span>
</span>Well, I am all in favour of working together for common goals if such a
thing can be arranged.<span> </span>But there are
times when one alone, or the few who are willing to join him, must act because
the collective has neither the will nor the courage to do so.<span> </span>To stand alone against great evil is
heroic.<span> </span>To stand alone whether one
knows that one can prevail or not, but simply to do so because it is right, is
the mark of courage.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>This is
the action of Beowulf, and why this poem will have been held as an example of
honour, courage and nobility for hundreds of years by those who performed and
heard it.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>But the
Politically Correct Newspeak version of our reality cannot allow for individual
heroism, or what in our modern world amounts to responsibility.<span> </span>All things must submit to collective
approval, and all those who wish to step out of the rank and file must be
slapped down, their motivations must be undermined and discredited because it
is required politically.<span> </span>There is no
right because it is ethical, there is only personal advantage or the collective
will.<span> </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>From here
we are only a few short steps to the demonisation of the hero, who dares to act
on his own without first seeking approval from the collective.<span> </span>Stan Lee masterfully drew the character of
Peter Parker/ Spiderman as the hero/ outcast, but maintained the integrity of
the character since we know that his intentions are honest, despite the ranting
of J. Jonah Jameson and the sheeple who believe him.<span> </span>And so the hero becomes the demon because of the faithless
projections of those who are the real enemy.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>In the
cultural Marxist utopias envisioned by the likes of Huxley and Orwell all
vestiges of independent thought are eradicated through conditioning and fear.<span> </span>Even Bertrand Russell bought into an
ideology that was adapted to the mainstream by the Fabians (emblem a wolf in
sheep’s clothing) and the Tavistock institute.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>Modern
successors of Critical Theory and Deconstructionism have persuaded their
followers that all original thought is an illusion anyway since we are all
dependent on the cultures in which we are embedded, and that we are thereby
only expressions of the ongoing collective.<span>
</span>And the Cultural Marxists wish here to close the game, boxing in the
individual as no more than ‘subject’, the passive observer of the deterministic
universe with no more than the illusion of free will.</span></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span>This
is why it is so important to rewrite Beowulf and corrupt the values it
champions.<span> </span>Gaiman and Avary probably
don’t even think about how they are implementing the Cultural Marxist
agenda.<span> </span>It is so pervasive a contextual
underpinning that it is those who cling to the idea of value and purpose who
are seen as the ones out of step, while Gaiman and friend are the champions of
the new order, tearing down and corrupting anything which stands in the way of
its bleak pessimism and emptiness.<span> </span>The ‘Hero’
is an illusion, really just a corrupt self seeking exploiter who lies for his
own ends and reputation.<span> </span>Of course, we
were stupid to imagine that real heroism, real honesty could exist, even in
our dreams and imagination.<span> </span>Just a
false hope and illusion.<span> </span>And the
propagandists have won over those foolish enough to believe this lie. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Welcome to my new blog PC Newspeak Deconstruction.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The purpose of this blog is to examine and deconstruct the Politically Correct Newspeak which has infected</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">our modern cultures</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and which is summarised by George Orwell in the meme quote above.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I shall also be covering subjects such as Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), cognitive dissonance and social engineering which are all factors in the Newspeak agenda.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mainstream thought has become so boxed into its own paradigm that it has become impossible to experience reality authentically while still adhering to that orthodoxy. Political correctness and Newspeak has managed to deconstruct reality and thereby degrade all value, so it has now become necessary to counter attack and deconstruct the deceptions which have been infiltrated into our minds through its techniques.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There is a wave of reconstructive thought travelling around the world at this present time which is engaged in stripping away the veil of lies and supposed acceptibility of the suicidal conformity which has enmired supposed 'liberal values'.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I will leave this opening blog with these general statements so that my readers may consider what the particular expressions of this corruption may be before I return shortly and expand on some detailed examples.</span></span></div>
