 RetweetSources for Pim Fortuyn 'Fascist' Quote

Mon, Nov 5, 2007 at 8:44:41 am PST

If you’ve been following the misleading claims put out by Vlaams Belang supporters such as Brussels Journal, you probably noticed that they’re now saying that assassinated Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn was a supporter of Vlaams Belang, and never called Filip DeWinter a ‘fascist,’ as cited by Wikipedia.

Two European readers have now emailed links to sources for this quote. The first is Blokwatch: Nationale webstek over het Vlaams Belang - De extreem-rechtse internationale. It’s in Dutch, of course, but the pertinent section is readable anyway, and is credited to the Belgian newspaper De Morgen:

De liefde lijkt echter van maar één kant te komen. ‘Ik heb het Vlaams Belang niet nodig’, riposteerde Wilders (De Morgen, 29.1.2005). Daarmee ontspint zich dezelfde situatie als met wijlen Pim Fortuyn het geval was. Dewinter en tutti quanti – nochtans tegenstanders van het homohuwelijk – maakten Fortuyn constant het hof, terwijl Fortuyn er alles aan deed om niét met het Blok geassocieerd te worden. Hij ergerde er zich aan vergeleken te worden met heren van het slag Le Pen of Dewinter: ‘Die mannen zeggen dingen die je niet kunt maken. Dewinter is een fascist. Ik ben een beschaafde man. U zult mij niet horen zeggen: ‘Eigen volk eerst’ (De Morgen, 4.5.2005).

The second source is LVB.net—whose owner, Luc Van Braekel, is the webmaster of Brussels Journal: Fortuyn over België en Dewinter.

[Bij het afscheid blijkt hoe geobsedeerd Fortuyn is door de veelgemaakte vergelijking met Le Pen en Dewinter.] Die mannen zeggen dingen die je niet kunt maken. Dewinter is een fascist. Ik ben een beschaafde man. U zult mij niet horen zeggen: ‘Eigen volk eerst’. En ben ik niet veel sympathieker dan Dewinter?

A Babelfish translation: Fortuyn concerning Belgian Dewinter.

[ At the farewell proves to be how obsessed Fortuyn are by much-made comparison with Le pen and Dewinter. ] Those men say things whom you cannot make. Dewinter is a fascist. I am a civilised man. You will not hear me say: ‘ own people firstly ‘. And I not are much more sympathetic than Dewinter?

UPDATE at 11/5/07 9:26:03 am:

Michael Van Der Galiën (for whom you should vote in the Weblog Awards) emailed a better translation of Fortuyn’s statement:

“Those men say unacceptable things. DeWinter is a fascist. I’m a civilized man. You won’t hear me say: ‘own people first.’ And am I not much more sympathetic than DeWinter?”

Also, Pim Fortuyn’s brother was interviewed about the decision of Dutch politician Nawijn and DeWinter to start a think tank in Fortuyn’s home: “People have to realize that Philip DeWinter still flirts with the extreme right.”

Marten Fortuyn was upset about the association because he knew what his brother thought of DeWinter.

Here’s the link in Dutch.

Michael Van Der Galiën also has some words of his own on this matter:

For what it’s worth: every Dutchman knows that you’re right. Fortuyn only defended DeWinter when the latter was attacked by people, etc. His message was: they’re fascists, but fascists have a right to speak out as well.

When will Paul Belien retract his misleading post?

No so OT:
Russian Nationalists March in Moscow

MOSCOW (AP) —A white supremacist from Texas lifted his black cowboy hat into the air as he stepped forward to address thousands of Russian nationalists at a rally Sunday in Moscow.

"I'm taking my hat off as a sign of respect for your strong identity in ethnicity, nation and race," said Preston Wiginton, 43, exposing his close-cropped head to a freezing drizzle.

"Glory to Russia," he said in broken Russian, as the crowd of mostly young Russian men raised their right hands in a Nazi salute and chanted "white power!" in English.

About 5,000 nationalists turned out for the Russian March, held for the third year on National Unity Day, a holiday the Kremlin created in 2005 to replace the traditional Nov. 7 celebration of the 1917 Bolshevik rise to power.

The Kremlin has tried to give the holiday historical significance by tying it to the 1612 expulsion of Polish and Cossack troops who briefly seized Moscow at a time of political disarray.

But extreme nationalists have seized on the holiday, reflecting a rise in xenophobia. More than 50 people have been killed and 400 injured in ethnically motivated attacks this year, according to the Sova rights center.

Political Black Ops in Belgium?

The conservative blogosphere is not immune to disinformation ops. If the American Left can't knock out conservative talk radio with the Fairness Doctrine, they have enough billionaires who are happy to sponsor dirty tricks to split the conservative movement. "Black PR" is quite likely to happen during the coming election. Keep an eye out for it.

It is therefore at least possible that Charles Johnson has been taken in by disinformation. It's easy to fall for suspicious information on the web. I would guess that Paul Belien and the writers for Brussels Journal are really decent people. They are constantly smeared by the Belgian Left, which is practically a proof of their personal probity. But they have some unfinished business.

So let me get this straight - Japan can drill for oil off our coast and we can't?
TOKYO, Nov 5 (KUNA) -- Japan's major trading firm Sojitz Corp. has obtained a concession on an oil field in the Gulf of Mexico, a top-selling business daily here reported Monday.
Sojitz has bought the 30 percent drilling rights on the Phoenix Oilfield south of New Orleans, the US from Texas-based Energy Resources Technology GOM forJPY 4.6 billion (USD 40.1 million), according to the Nikkei Shimbun.
While Chevron Corp. and other upstream oil firms used to drill oil and gas in the field, they were forced to suspend production activities due to heavy damage caused by Hurricane Katrina that struck the area in 2005, said the daily.
Sojitz and other firms will refurbish facilities in the oil field in preparation for resuming output, the daily said, adding that the improvement work is expected to cost Sojitz JPY 12.5 billion (USD 109.0 million).
The drilling project is scheduled to start in autumn 2008, and Sojitz is expected to secure the total amount of oil and gas equal to 2,700 barrels a day of crude oil, and sell it on the US market, the report said

Perhaps the term 'fascist' that is used here is of the European variety.

What I mean is that there is a huge disconnect between the elites and the "common man." For instance, there is virtually no free speech in Sweden (read Bawer) and merely commenting negatively on Islam can bring down the wrath of the government upon you.

Europe is ready to explode because Europeans, meaning the Western peoples of Germany, Italy, France, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, etc are watching their country and culture evaporate before their eyes. They hear soothing words from their media, along with threats, subtle and not, about stating what is obvious, to say nothing of doing anything.

Any European will very likely be called a 'fascist' for saying something like:

"Islam is not compatible with Western values. Muslims are not making any attempt to assimilate because Islam teaches them that we are kuffars and beneath them. They want to build separate cultural islands with separate law (Sharia). Islamic integration must be stopped until OUR SECULAR LAW is respected and obeyed and threats of violence cease. If Muslims do not want to do this, they can leave."

Now I ask you, is the above fascist?

Translation of first section:
The love appears to be one-sided. "I don't need Vlaams Belang, said Wilders(De Morgen, 29.1.2005), a statement that equals the sentiment of the late Pim Fortuyn. DeWinter and everyone opponent of gay marriage were constantly courting Fortuyn, while Fortyun was doing all he could to distance himself from The Blok. He was annoyed at being compared with men like Le Pen or DeWinter:"Those men say things that are unacceptable. DeWinter is a fascist. I am a civilized man. You won't hear me say: "Our people first" (De Morgen, 4.5.2005).

Ethnic nationalism is a form of nationalism wherein the "nation" is defined in terms of ethnicity. Whatever specific ethnicity is involved, ethnic nationalism always includes some element of descent from previous generations. It also includes ideas of a culture shared between members of the group, and with their ancestors, and usually a shared language.

Whereas a purely cultural definition of "the nation" allows people to become members of a nation by cultural assimilation, and a purely linguistic definition seeing "the nation" as all speakers of a specific language would make all those who learned the language members of the nation, the emphasis in the definition of nations (among nationalist movements) since the 19th century has shifted from language, culture, and folklore to a basis in ethnic origin.

Emphasis mine.

As I've mentioned before, there's an overt, blatant, avowed, and violent neo-Nazi performer touring the US and Canada right now!

I've gathered some more information since then, so that we can all do something about it, rather than merely continue grumbling to each other about how awful it is!

Croatian neo-Nazi rock star "Thompson" is currently touring the US and is also scheduled to perform in Canada. He is known for inciting violence following his concerts/rallies in Europe and should never have been allowed into the US.

He should be sent home immediately!

TENC: Oppose Fascist Rock Star's US Tour with the Truth (Part 1)

According to the TENC article above:

"Croatian rock star Marko Perkovic 'Thompson' has just begun a US-Canadian tour, with two concerts in New York (Nov. 2 and 3), followed by concerts in Toronto (Nov. 4, reportedly cancelled), Cleveland (Nov. 9), Chicago (Nov. 10), Los Angeles (Nov. 11), Vancouver (Nov. 16), and San Francisco (Nov. 18.) Full details are in footnote [1].

Emperor's Clothes has proven that Thompson is a self-declared Ustasha - a Croatian clerical-fascist. (Clerical-fascist ideology indoctrinates with a mixture of Nazi-type racism and Catholic religious fanaticism.) The Ustasha movement murdered over a million people from 1941-1945. The overwhelming majority were Serbs (Slavs who are Orthodox Christian, i.e., non-Catholic), but they also killed most Jews and Roma ('Gypsies') in the greater Croatia that they ruled."

Information about where to complain is at the top of the above TENC article.

Information about the concert schedule is in footnote 1 in the above article.

From the American Thinker article:

I visited Belgium several years ago, and just happened to see a TV news program featuring some spokesfolks for Vlaams Belang. They looked like extras from the Star Wars bar scene; if they ever lost their jobs in Belgium they could go straight to Central Casting. There's always a need in show business for bad guys who really look like bad guys. It was amazing. I can't imagine a real political party parading those people on TV. Imagine if the Republican Party of Mississippi had spokespeople straight out of Deliverance? Would they be for real?

So they were "spokesfolks" but you think they weren't real supporters? How does that work?

Seems like he's trying to sit on the fence instead of taking a side and has twisted himself around mightily trying to make a point about what could happen...somewhere...somewhen...

ETHELRED

Interesting posts. You can only push people so far. The big problem is the politicians in Europe generally. They have consistantly belittled and demonised the indigenous populations and tried, via the EU to turn everyone into Europap (a bland tasteless mass). It won't work. Europe is a rich tapestry with an interesting history and now I believe most people are tired of being oppressed by the people whom they elected and who should be addressing their concerns and fears. Too often they are not. Even worse they are repressing free speech to save themselves from criticism and having to explain their agendas and are treating some parts of their populations (with their own agendas) as special cases to the detriment of the majority. This is causing resentment and it is not going away. If these concerns are not addressed and a big public debate is not allowed I can see Europe suddenly zipping to the right, possibly the far right. If that happens it is all going to end badly. This is what happens when Democracy gets corrupted by the politicians in an underhand manner backed up by legislation that they pass for themselves. This undermines or destroys the checks and balances that should work within the democratic framework. No good comes of it.

Europe and America are very different places. The political life of Europe does not easily convert into US terms or vice versa. The concept of the nation in most of continental Europe is an ethnic nationalist one. This is the case on the left as well as the right. The UK is the only real exception to this, where the concept of the nation is more political than ethnic. Ethnic nationalism in Europe is not usually about white power, even though it may seem that way to Americans.

Conservatism in Europe is quite different from that in the US. There is no European equivalent of the Republican Party, just as there are no US equivalents of say the German Christian Democrats, Social Democrats or Socialists.

I think that Vlaams Belang is a party with some unsavoury elements involved in it, rather than a fully fledged neo-nazi or white power group. It should be noted that it is currently attempting to become more mainstream; I think that overall VB is less unsavoury than, for example, the British BNP.

NO! Simply because one opposes illegal immigration doesn't mean they oppose legal immigration.

Lets say that I'm a citizen of a small Middle-Eastern country, and the moonbats in this country want to pass a law that would allow anyone who crosses the border from Egypt to claim that he is a refugee from Darfur and settle here. If I were a citizen of that country, I would find this appalling: this country is a Jewish state and immigration to the Jewish state should be restricted to Jews (perhaps with some exceptions).
According to the definitions in this thread, that would make me the worst kind of "ethnic nationalists".

Croatian football fans 'used Nazi symbols' during matches

Croatian police were investigating reports Monday that fans of local football club Hajduk Split sold and wore T-shirts bearing Nazi symbols.
.
The Hajduk fans were "walking proudly in Split wearing T-shirts reading 'Hajduk Jugend,' a direct allusion to the 'Hitler Jugend'," wrote the Slobodna Dalmacija reported.
.
The T-shirts, sold on the fans' website [Link: www.torcida.org,...] depict an eagle carrying the Hajduk coat of arms in its claws, which the daily said replaced the swastika in the Nazi version.
.
"We will check those reports to establish whether the law has been broken," Marina Kraljevic Gudelj, a police spokeswoman in the southern town of Split, told AFP.

But, it isn't what Vlaams Belang and it's supporters are talking about. They're talking about color, race, and ethnicity, not assimilation to one's newly adopted country.

I think Europeans have a totally different idea of "self" than Americans do.

My theory is that "American" is a concept based on ideas, whereas Europeans think first of ethnicity and race.

Again, that's only theory... I'm trying to come up with an explanation for why certain Euros are scratching their heads about our being upset by associating with Nazis. To us, Nazi fascism/authoritarianism is a repugnant idea no matter what color you are, but to certain of "them", they see the ethnicity ("white culture") first, and the Nazi-style fascism is just an inconvenient afterthought.

It is interesting to compare America to Europe. America was built on immigration. Europe had a variety of indigenous peoples that ebbed and flowed (for many reasons) over what would now be the modern boundries of European countries. Boundries that have changed many times over the centuries. Also we have had peoples come and settle here over a long period of time. As a result the various European countries have come to a cultural identitiy. As was posted by someone else you can come to Britain, assimilate and add to our culture and see yourself as British quite happily whilst someone like me would see themself as English first and British second. The two are not incompatible. They can exist side by side. At its best it leads to an interesting mix that can be invigorating. The main thing is that the people concerned like the culture that they live in and don't want to see it destroyed, in this way the culture can absorb various influences that enrich it in a reasonably harmonious way over a period of time. Difference can be very interesting. Incompatibility is not.
This is a very different case from the white supremisists, and the Islamists who might have very different agendas but who both spell great danger to the various European cultures who have evolved and changed over a long period of time.
I have a feeling that I'm not explaining myself very well. I'm still suffering from this horrible lurgy.

What you are saying, if I un understand it correctly, is that the elites and mulsims have co-opted the language of the debate so that any attempt to call for a rule of law as opposed to the rule of men (roving morality police, sharia) in now labeled "facist."
IF that is what's going on, we have faced the same thing here with the illegal aliens who called all attacks against them "racist."
Mere rhetorical trickery ought not to be allowed to shut down debate on this vital issue.
Political correctness tries to cut off all debate in just the way you describe.
But there has to be clean hands on the part of those who would take this rhetoric to task.
When there are actual white supremicists on the side, they will drag everyone on their side down when their actions are exposed.
That cannot be allowed.
The anti-sharia side MUST clean house and be unassailable.

In this photo provided by Thompson's concert promoter, a Roman Catholic nun and fan of Croatian rock star Marko Perkovic holds a banner with his stage name 'Thompson' during a concert in his native Croatian village of Cavoglave on Aug. 5, 2007. Perkovic, set to launch a North America tour with two concerts in New York City, is drawing protests from groups who say his shows glorify the puppet government in Croatia that collaborated with the Nazis.

I think that Vlaams Belang is a party with some unsavoury elements involved in it, rather than a fully fledged neo-nazi or white power group. It should be noted that it is currently attempting to become more mainstream; I think that overall VB is less unsavoury than, for example, the British BNP.

Welcome, Aldamir. When you note that, consider that they might be doing so to become more accepted in a place where it's illegal to be a Nazi, rather than a change of heart.

183 Aldamir  Mon, Nov 5, 2007 10:08:57am

"Race" is a considerably hotter issue in US politics than it is in Europe, despite the fact that Europe has more neo-nazis. Looking at European nationalism through the spectacles of American political discourse is a mistake, as the political issues and philosophies are much more different than they appear at first glance.

European countries usually base their ideas of nationalism around their history, culture and language. The big US/Europe difference is that many European nations have long and proud histories that began considerably before they became actual states. America began as a settlers revolt against an ethnically similar mother country. Most European nations have a history, real or imagined, reaching back into the mists of time and predating their achievement of statehood. Statehood was often achieved following rule by people from an alien culture or language. This is what gives European nationalism an ethnic dimension. The nearest that you have in North America is the Quebecois.

While everyone is pissing on each other, the Muslims make another town kuffar-rein.

All I am saying is that Islam is a totalitarian ideology that will crush us as we argue about the details.

Islam without Muslims is just a bad dream. The Muslim is the embodiment of Islam and, as such, is the enemy.

But oh, you say, what about the "assimilated, peaceful" Muslim? Surely you don't want to throw them out too!

My usual answer to that is to substitute Nazi for Muslim and ask if you would believe an avowed Nazi who claimed to be peaceful and/or ignorant of Hitler's sayings.

An Islamic identity goes WAY beyond say, Dutchness.

Once more I say, look at Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Sudan, Nigeria, Indonesia, Malaysia or anywhere Islam rules and then picture Europe reduced to that.

Stalinist Nazis (for real)...

Ultranationalist demonstrators give Nazi salute during their authorized rally in downtown Moscow, on Sunday Nov. 4, 2007. Demonstrators complained of the presence in Russia of dark-skinned migrants from other former Soviet republics, whom they derisively refer to as 'blacks.' The political and economic turmoil that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union generated hostility toward foreigners, especially millions of migrant workers in Russia. The trend has worsened in recent years despite a rise in incomes and political stability as authorities failed to crack down on extremist groups and hate crimes.

re: #179 wrenchwench

That is one possibility. Another stronger possibility is that they have hit an electoral ceiling and they know that the only way to wn more votes is to move more to the center. I understand that DeWinter is seeking to get votes from the fairly large Jewish community in Antwerp. Clearly they are unlikely to vote for a bunch of holocaust deniers, so VB have to tell their followers to tone down this line.

The European far-right is currently in a state of flux in the post 9/11 world. Their old mix of anti-Jewish/anti-US/anti-immigration politics is coming under considerable strain due to changed social circumstances, now that Muslims make up the most visibly scary group of immigrants. The anti-Jewish and anti-(Muslim) immigrant parts of their creed are coming into intolerable conflict. Some on the far right have decided to start to woo Muslim voters (eg Le Pen) others have tried to ditch the anti-semitism (eg DeWinter and the BNP). It is only in the former eastern bloc that the real old style nazis can flourish, mainly because Muslims don't want to emigrate to economic wildernesses.

My usual answer to that is to substitute Nazi for Muslim and ask if you would believe an avowed Nazi who claimed to be peaceful and/or ignorant of Hitler's sayings.

I don't know where you live - but in America we don't deport our white supremacists, even the violent ones; we make sure the truth is known about them. And if they break our laws, we punish them. Being a Nazi is not illegal here. Repugnant, but not illegal. They yammer around the fringes of society, trying to gain acceptance, but we mock, disavow, and shun them wherever we find them.

If we did the same with IslamoFascists, there would be little need to fear.

You misunderstand me.

All I said was that race was a bigger and hotter issue in US politics than it is in Europe, not that Europe is less racist than the US. Most racial issues in the US involve attempts to correct perceived or real racial injustices (eg affirmative action), so these are hardly indicative of a lack ofconcern about racism.

We need to work within the confines of the Law, and if you're living in the United States, that means (ultimately) abiding by the U.S. Constitution. I don't see how you're going to be able to simply revoke the rights of legal immigrants on the grounds that some females are keeping their hair covered. (What would be next -- deporting those who fail to wear the appropriate eye-glass frames? And merely being a practitioner of a certain religion could never be used as a justification for deportation.)

Of course, there are (and should be) concerns about having too lenient an immigration policy for entrance into a country (or, conversely, too difficult to deport criminal-type immigrants, etc).

re: #239 J.S.

You are being silly, and the fact that this has been debated for years does not change the facts: Europe is years closer to destruction, and the US is that much closer to looking like Europe.

Islam is not some "certain" religion, as we all know. We also all know that is a total ideological system that destroys all before it.

We also know that there is no central authority in Islam and hence no single source for a definition, as much as Ibrahim Hooper would like.

We, after reading the Koran, the Hadith and the Sira are just as capable as a Muslim in understanding what it says. We are entitled to define Islam, as we understand it from its own canon, to be declared a religio-non-gratum. We are entitled to declare that as long as the Islamic texts say X, Y and Z, Islam will not be considered a protected religion, but a political ideology that just happens to be bent on our destruction.

But again, what would you do? What should the non-Muslims of Malmo (if there are any) do? What should the Swedish government do about Malmo?

2) Radical Islam becomes a badge of shame rather than pride, and a meaner, leaner West is smart enough to heap blame and scorn precisely where it belongs: on Islam and its holy book, its holy prophet.

3) Many Muslims quietly abandon their faith out of shame, either for a benign secularism or for Christianity. As for the rest...

4) The sheer pressure of unbearable shame will compel credible Muslim leaders to rearticulate the faith in a non-violent, non-supremacist form. Yes, this means reinterpreting the Koran, and if you come back with that tired old non-sequitur, "It's the word of God and must be interpreted literally, therefore it cannot be reinterpreted," your grasp of logic is not adequate to post at LGF. That argument is pure crap.

5) Jihadi Islam is declared a heresy by Muslim leadership, and the remaining Muslims claim that this new version of Islam is in fact the traditional Islam they've always believed, just better articulated now, and we all nod and play along.

Political Black Ops in Belgium?
The conservative blogosphere is not immune to disinformation ops. If the American Left can't knock out conservative talk radio with the Fairness Doctrine, they have enough billionaires who are happy to sponsor dirty tricks to split the conservative movement. "Black PR" is quite likely to happen during the coming election. Keep an eye out for it.
It is therefore at least possible that Charles Johnson has been taken in by disinformation. It's easy to fall for suspicious information on the web. I would guess that Paul Belien and the writers for Brussels Journal are really decent people. They are constantly smeared by the Belgian Left, which is practically a proof of their personal probity. But they have some unfinished business.
/ooh, now it's a conspiracy

It's an unbelievably stupid article. He even discusses a photo of a Sweden Democrats rally, misidentifying it as Vlaams Belang.

What kind of logic is that? If lefties smear any fascists, nazis or WP, then these fascists, nazis oder WP must be right? This fits only if you are a fascist, nazi or WP yourself.

The bj-label "conservative" is only camouflage to hide the VB agenda. Belien reminds me on Ewald Stadler one of the bloodhounds of the FPOE. Also a true catholic like Belien.

Great. Civil war in Europe. Thousands or millions killed, hopefully more of them than us. I happen to agree that, given the blindness of the ruling EU elite, this will happen.

2) Radical Islam becomes a badge of shame rather than pride, and a meaner, leaner West is smart enough to heap blame and scorn precisely where it belongs: on Islam and its holy book, its holy prophet.

I am with you if Islam becomes a badge of shame. Remember your Ibn Warraq. From whence is the shame heaping supposed to come? Are we as individuals supposed to run up to a (radical) Muslim and say, "I heap shame on you for following that evil Muhammad"? As we congratulate ourselves on how much we know and the numbers of people we have enlightened, grade schools are corrupted and Keith Ellison gets elected.

3) Many Muslims quietly abandon their faith out of shame, either for a benign secularism or for Christianity. As for the rest...

Dream on. Which century is this? Then again, Ali Sina uses the shame angle, but it starts with Muhammad was evil. Sometimes this works, and sometimes a Muslim comes back with, "My faith has increased after reading your site." We are dealing with psychotics.

4) The sheer pressure of unbearable shame will compel credible Muslim leaders to rearticulate the faith in a non-violent, non-supremacist form. Yes, this means reinterpreting the Koran, and if you come back with that tired old non-sequitur, "It's the word of God and must be interpreted literally, therefore it cannot be reinterpreted," your grasp of logic is not adequate to post at LGF.

This might happen when the oil money runs out. How long do we wait? If Dearborn becomes totally Muslim and declares Sharia to be the law within the city limits, do you call in the National Guard?

excerpt:
Q: Aren't you glad that Wallage (a politician) is addressing your theme?

A: Listen, it's much too late. For years he denounced Bolkestein (a Dutch party leader who first raised concerns about immigration in the 1990's), when Bolkenstein was trying to put these matters into discussion. And his method was quite vile. He'd go on and on about the Second World War. Also, Kok (a politician) does the same. Always telling us about yet another new monument, a stone monument, that he has opened. And on it is inscribed the counts of the murdered Jews and the murdered Gypsies. So, yet another monument. Holland has gone mad.

Q: Why do you say Holland has gone mad?

A: That everything has to be meticulously detailed out. Give us a break! Holland is full of monuments to the Second World War. And then Kok endlessly goes from today back to then, and the checkered past, and Nazism. I find it entirely invalid to liken these (i.e., the past and present). It just poisons the whole topic (of immigrant issues). I also think the way that Kok describes Haider's (Austrian politician) views is scandalous. Haider is not a Nazi. And if he is, then he's no different than many in the Social Democratic and Christian Democratic parties. Sure, (Haider's party) have a problem with their checkered past, but all the parties do. And who gave shelter to all the "war criminals" after the war? That was the Allied coalition, and not Haider. So what is Kok on about? Also, it's not valid to talk about the Vlaams Blok in that way, either. It is senseless to be endlessly milking this Hitler thing. Then and now, are two incomparable realities.

Well, I am asking, "What is the alternative?" Plain and simple.

I know this is a thread about neo-Nazis and making a pact with the Devil. But let's assume that that all of the "truth about Islam" sites reach every single American, and convince them. What then? The whole country now is aware that there is an evil cancer gnawing at the very fabric of our country. What do we do?

Look, being a muslim is a status.
Just like being black or Catholic or Hispanic is a status.
I can remember when being a vagrant was a crime.
But the Supreme Court ruled that behaviour NOT status had to be the thing that made a person a criminal or law breaker.
Thus the rise of loitering laws replaced all the vagrancy statutes that used to be on the books.
So, can't we agree that being a muslim should not make one a criminal?
Acting in a manner that is criminal, on the other hand, might mean that many muslims become criminals.
IF they choose to act in those criminal ways they run the risk of becoming criminalized.
Under the rule of law that's the only way you can do it.
We can't all go back to where we came from, plain and simple.

I did not mean to divert the thread, but just to try to make a point about who and what the REAL enemy is.

Let the shame thing work on the White-Power freaks in Europe. That will NOT work in the foreseeable future with Muslims and Islam.

Islam is growing bolder and would rather rule the dung-hill of a destroyed Europe than compromise a whit. That is its pre-18th century history.

All I am asking is what do we physically do? What can we do? Are we powerless? Do we have to wait until the monster is about to nuke a city?

Are we doomed to become another conquered Persia, Byzantium and Mediterranean Christendom just because Islam calls itself a religion?

Ethelred,

From what I've read about Europe (from Italy to France to Denmark) -- they do seem to have a problem with non-assimilated Muslim immigrants. But, analyse the problems. What are they? Wife beating? (fine, arrest the husband for assault). Too lazy to find work? (fine, make welfare benefits more difficult to obtain and rely on). Can't speak the native language? (fine, provide language courses). Too many immigrants and no enough jobs? (fine, cut back on the number of immigrants allowed into the country). Got too many preachers of hate and violent Jihad? (fine, jail them for incitement, or, if immigrants, jail followed by deportation). Burning cars? (fine, arrest the perpetrators.) but, what is Europe actually doing? Virtually none of what should be done. Are they arresting the perps who set fire to cars? O, No, of course not -- that might anger the immigrant communities (that's what I read -- the police willfully refuse to act/enforce the laws.) Well, get tough -- grow a couple. But, please, don't place all blame for everything on Muslims or pretend that Muslims are "the culprits." I don't buy it. Your politicians, your police forces, your city mayors, your academics, your media, etc., etc, are also "a problem" -- so identify the problems, then fix them (again, within the rule of law).

You don't understand shame.

There are racists and neo-fascists of various stripes in the US, but only a tiny minority are willing to don Nazi garb and march around publicly under the Swastika, even though it's legal to do so. Why? Because very few want to put up with the scornful condemnation heaped on them by the vast majority of their neighbors and countrymen.

Only hard-core psychos seek out and enjoy ostracism.

Perhaps after the Euro civil wars, perhaps after a mushroom cloud or two somewhere or other on the globe, at any rate, after it becomes impossible for anyone to pretend it wasn't Islam doing this, there will be shame associated with it, and that shame will compel it to change or die.

As an American, I really can't tell Europe what to do about its current problems, but here's one suggestion: why don't all those sane, intetelligent and rational Europeans, who believe in rule of law and reason overcoming hatred and tyranny, band together to form party and get themselves a constitution, start talking back to Islam and throw out out both the socialists and the right-wingers, instead? Let artists, thinkers, speakers, writers all get together and make a real change in their society, instead of climbing up on the old see-saw of Marxism/nationalism, which has not worked in the past, in will never work for them.

We have the internet now, and surely the people of Europe aren't without a voice, a brain and the will to come up with a plan to take back their societies that doesn't involve Nazism Part Deux. If they truly aren't, then there's nothing America can do for them, and white racism won't save them---anymore than it saved Europe from the bolsheviks, back before WWII (when it was being sold to people as the handy-dandy cure for Marxism).

Honest to Buddha, I am getting so bloody sick of this either/or argument! Either it's Nazism or dhimmitude, so let's just hand ourselves over to Vlaams Belang and all the other rightwing parties! No, damnit! There are other alternatives!

And, of course, there's absolutely no guarantee that "white nationalist" Europe would remain much of an ally for very long.

You encourage the re-invigoration of Judeo-Christian/Western values including religious worship, having families. Other steps, curbing immigration from Muslim countries, deporting ILLEGAL aliens no matter what their religion. Curb zaka activities all over the globe thereby drying up terror funds. Fight against any sharia creeping into public life from footbaths to sharia banking. Expose the lies of CAIR, encourage democracy in Muslim countries by empowering students (Iran) and women (all over).

re: #87 Aldamir

Speaking as an expat (thank G-d) Belgian, correct on all counts. What calls itself "conservative" in Europe is usually either "theocon" (Paul Beliën is a case in point) or "paleocon" (what I used to call "reactionary right"). Reagan Republicans have parallels to some degree in what used to be called "neoliberalism" in Belgium and places like that. (Faux ami alert: "liberal" means "pro-market" or "classical liberal" in Belgium.) There is no real equivalent of American mainstream conservatism (if there were, the Vlaams Belang would still be a fringe party), nor of American-style "state nationalism" (for the simple reason that Belgian nationalism is basically nonexistent: Flemish nationalism is ethnic/tribal at worst, linguistic at best).

The Vlaams Belang is simply too big to dismiss it as a fringe movement anymore. The first generation of predecessor Vlaams Blok was full of unsavory types (convicted Nazi collaborators, negationists, ...) but even in Flanders such a party would have remained a fringe movement. (In terms of Flemish nationalism, the more moderate Volksunie offered a more respectible alternative, as did to some degree the Christian Peoples Party (CVP), a Catholic, morally conservative, economically social-democrat party that was the largest party in Flanders for decades and supplied most of the PMs.)

The current generation of the Vlaams Blok leadership made a serious effort to repackage the party as a respectable European conservative party, and since they are (by American standards) the only show in town on the "right" side of the political spectrum (as well as the only ones that can afford to raise the issue of unassimilated/unassimilable Muslim immigrants without being shouted down as "racist"), this bought them tons of support. (The blows dealt to the CVP, now CD&V, by a string of scandals helped them some more.)

The main question is whether the current Blok is basically a "normal" right-wing party with a remnant of bad apples, or whether the bad apples represent the hidden true face of the movement, or whether the party itself is internally heterogenous in this regard. From the evidence gathered by Charles and others on this blog, I would say that, at least with respect to the party leadership, the preponderance of evidence points to "wolf in sheep's clothing".

re: #200 Aldamir

re: #179 wrenchwench

That is one possibility. Another stronger possibility is that they have hit an electoral ceiling and they know that the only way to wn more votes is to move more to the center. I understand that DeWinter is seeking to get votes from the fairly large Jewish community in Antwerp. Clearly they are unlikely to vote for a bunch of holocaust deniers, so VB have to tell their followers to tone down this line.


From a Machiavellian perspective, sound strategy as well as sound tactics. Antwerp is the second largest city in Belgium, and all the other parties combined can just barely govern without the VB. If Dewinter can win over even part of the Jewish community, the VB ends up either supplying the Mayor of Antwerp, unless the federal gov't decides to void the municipal elections and run Antwerp directly from Brussels --- in which case the VB ends up pulling sympathy/protest votes in the Flemish, federal, and European elections. A win-win move for Dewinter.

Also, I sometimes wonder if an antisemite can have a genuine change of heart. It's been known to happen (there are cases of former skinheads who ended up converting to Judaism) but such people are probably the exceptions that prove the rule.

www.pimfortuyn.com/asp/default.asp?var=0 &id=1428&t=show&zoek1=vrij%20nederland

excerpt:
Q: Aren't you glad that Wallage (a politician) is addressing your theme?

A: Listen, it's much too late. For years he denounced Bolkestein (a Dutch party leader who first raised concerns about immigration in the 1990's), when Bolkenstein was trying to put these matters into discussion. And his method was quite vile. He'd go on and on about the Second World War. Also, Kok (a politician) does the same. Always telling us about yet another new monument, a stone monument, that he has opened. And on it is inscribed the counts of the murdered Jews and the murdered Gypsies. So, yet another monument. Holland has gone mad.

Q: Why do you say Holland has gone mad?

A: That everything has to be meticulously detailed out. Give us a break! Holland is full of monuments to the Second World War. And then Kok endlessly goes from today back to then, and the checkered past, and Nazism. I find it entirely invalid to liken these (i.e., the past and present). It just poisons the whole topic (of immigrant issues). I also think the way that Kok describes Haider's (Austrian politician) views is scandalous. Haider is not a Nazi. And if he is, then he's no different than many in the Social Democratic and Christian Democratic parties. Sure, (Haider's party) have a problem with their checkered past, but all the parties do. And who gave shelter to all the "war criminals" after the war? That was the Allied coalition, and not Haider. So what is Kok on about? Also, it's not valid to talk about the Vlaams Blok in that way, either. It is senseless to be endlessly milking this Hitler thing. Then and now, are two incomparable realities.
-- end of excerpt --


Fortuyn is right, when he denied that Haider is a Nazi. But btw: no one here has called deWinter a Nazi. It was only shown that deWinter has close personally ties to Nazis (like Haider). Haider is a neo-fascist from the "Neue Rechte" (neo-fascists). Their goals are:

-ethnopluralism (displaced racism) - means that other people have to be respected, but the own nation should be ethnic clean
-to fight liberalism, parliamentarism, pluralism
-the state should be ruled in a strong hierarchically and elitist way
-the importance of a strong folkish national identity and national self-confidence, thus a permanent historic revisionism is essential
-thus a new "healthy" society must be created because the existing one is decadent

How to gain these goals? Read Gramsci, he described it point for point and the neo-fascists follow them point for point. To dominate the discussions, to reach 'cultural hegemony', to infiltrate journalism, infiltrate clubs, organizations and institutions of education and culture to spread the ideology and to become accepted in the society. The parties themselves are against violence but they support violence in their offshoots.

So VB, FPOE or Lega North or Le Pen are not Nazis but neo-fascists and we should Charles be thankful that he opened the discussion. This is one of the great moments of lgf.

BabbaZee #287- from one mongrel Jew to another, why is it that you think that only the neo-Nazis/WP folks are able to get rid of the Muslims?

A falser restatement of BabbaZee's opinions and words is hard to imagine.

I suggest you stop arguing with people until you improve your reading comprehension.

And if you're twisting people's words on purpose, you can quit bothering. We know how to read around here, so we know what she actually wrote.

As for those who think this topic has been beaten to death, think again. People have incredibly short memories and attention spans. Within a few years months, CAIR and others will lump LGF in with Atlas et al. as racist supporters of neo-fascist movements. Anyone doubt that they're capable of that degree of chutzpah?

No one outside anti-idiotarian blogosphere circles will give Charles credit for his stand unless it is too noisy and prolonged for even the CAIR-coddling MSM to ignore. And that takes a lot of noise.

Good point, Dead Sea Squirrel.
A few days ago, when this debate was first heating up, I noted that Reuters was hitting the board here, watching and most likely looking for signs of cracks between the blogs on this issue.
I perused the whole debate and was fairly sure there was no ammunition for Reuters to use against us.
Today they are back, propably looking for the same thing.
We're smarter than that.
There's nothing here today for them, either.
The only "either/or" or "doom and gloom" arguments are coming from the side of those who would like to side with the white power groups...even if history shows them that, yes, first these groups will help with ridding Europe of some unwanted illegal aliens, then they will expand that to getting rid of all of certain groups, then others, then others and so on.
How much better would it be to enforce the good and solid laws now on your books?
How much better would it be to become legalistic, going after criminal behaviours (that perps can control) rather than people based on color, religion or origins (that people cannot control)?

I hear you. To my understanding, most of those things are happening, although some are just us pleading with them to wake up.

And they should keep happening.

BUT, why not try to legally define what makes a religion not acceptable? Islam will most surely qualify and then we make it law.

Fantasy? Perhaps, but the effort of attempting to define Islam as non-protected will raise consciousness faster than anything else.

Have you even read our Constitution? If so, what part of


Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

did you not understand?

Or did you just not understand that defining "non protected" religions is a bajillion edged sword?

This post here, is the legislative effort in this country to come up with an answer. It has yet to be enacted, and please try to ignore all of the pork features in the legislation, but at LAST I think that the U.S.A. is taking the first steps toward isolating (through legislation and motivational studies, leading to better preventive methods) the radical elements.
We are not simply throwing up our hands and saying, "Deport them all!"
Whether it will be effective is anyones guess. But I'd rather align behind legislative efforts then goose-stepping extremists.

Legislation to protect against radicalization -- great idea.

But Ethelred wants to outlaw Islam entirely and deport all Muslims.

And he/she is willing to change the constitution to do it.

Those kinds of ridiculous extremist views should be posted for all to see, on Ethelred's own blog where he/she can take responsibility for them.

Good off topic news:

Al-Qaeda propaganda man 'surrenders'

AN al-Qaeda affiliated "propaganda" man in charge of supplying Al Jazeera with videos and online documentation has surrendered, saying he regreted what he had been doing, Algerian daily Liberte said today.

The daily, quoting unnamed security sources, said Abu Abderahmane had used the internet to communicate with the Qatar-based channel, as well as sending it videos, and CDs either directly to Doha or its Morocco branch.

re: #171 VonStierlitz


After all, I support Avigdor Lieberman and the Israel Beitenu party.
Let me remind you that Lieberman calls for deportation of israeli arab muslims who are hostile to our state.

There would seem to be a qualifier there that takes Lieberman's call for deportation out of the realm of mere ethnicity, "race," or religion.

Not really.
Mr. Lieberman correctly acknowledges that Israel has demographic, cultural and security problems with arab muslims specifically, not with some abstract group of hostile and dangerous people.
There are certain people who call mr. Lieberman "fascist" or even "zionazi" for simply admitting the obvious. The same people are whining, when european nations "arrogantly" refuse to self-destruct and dissolve into one "diverse" multicultural multiethnic socialist caliphate of Eurabia. Apparently, a nation has a future only if it's not jewish or white european. Japanese are OK. Chinese are OK. Africans are OK. Arabs are OK. Mongols are OK. Hindus are OK. But white europeans are "racists and supremacists" and Israel is "an apartheid state"...

"When will Paul Belien retract his misleading post?"
My guess is, he won't. It's of no use trying to convince him. I don't believe for a nanosecond that Belien isn't thoroughly aware of all the stuff you dug up, Charles. He knows the truth like everyone else in Belgium and Holland does. However, for some reason the truth seems to be politically inconvenient for him.

re: #315 VonStierlitz

I believe you're misrepresenting Lieberman's position. The position which he advocated was to re-draw the boundaries (in certain areas) so that Arab-Israel areas would be given over to the Palestinian Authority, while other areas with large Jewish populations would become part of Israel. There was no talk about up-rooting Arabs out of their homes...just re-drawing the lines. In addition, the Arab-Israelis would have their Israeli citizenship revoked / replaced with a Palestinian Authority Identity. Also, any Arab who (under this plan) was willing to swear an oath of loyalty to Israel, could retain Israeli citizenship. Hence, as Buzzsawmonkey notes, the "Lieberman Plan" was directed towards those Arabs who were Israeli citizens yet despised the State of Israel - not against all Arab-Israelis. (Lieberman was kicked out of the cabinet under Sharon, btw.)

Concerned about neo-Nazis? Serious about it?

As I've mentioned before, there's an overt, blatant, avowed, and violent neo-Nazi performer touring the US and Canada right now!

I've gathered some more information since then, so that we can all do something about it, rather than merely continue grumbling to each other about how awful it is!

Croatian neo-Nazi rock star "Thompson" is currently touring the US and is also scheduled to perform in Canada. He is known for inciting violence following his concerts/rallies in Europe and should never have been allowed into the US.

He should be sent home immediately!

TENC: Oppose Fascist Rock Star's US Tour with the Truth (Part 1)

According to the TENC article above:

"Croatian rock star Marko Perkovic 'Thompson' has just begun a US-Canadian tour, with two concerts in New York (Nov. 2 and 3), followed by concerts in Toronto (Nov. 4, reportedly cancelled), Cleveland (Nov. 9), Chicago (Nov. 10), Los Angeles (Nov. 11), Vancouver (Nov. 16), and San Francisco (Nov. 18.) Full details are in footnote [1].

Emperor's Clothes has proven that Thompson is a self-declared Ustasha - a Croatian clerical-fascist. (Clerical-fascist ideology indoctrinates with a mixture of Nazi-type racism and Catholic religious fanaticism.) The Ustasha movement murdered over a million people from 1941-1945. The overwhelming majority were Serbs (Slavs who are Orthodox Christian, i.e., non-Catholic), but they also killed most Jews and Roma ('Gypsies') in the greater Croatia that they ruled."

Information about where to complain is at the top of the above TENC article.

Information about the concert schedule is in footnote 1 in the above article.

Max Otto von Stierlitz is a fictitious Soviet spy who worked as a mole in the SS in a cult 1970s film

Also, from the same article:
1) The Stirlitz series are thought to be inspired by Polish popular series about Captain Kloss from 1967/68.
2) Actually, there is no such German name [as Stierlitz], the closest being Stieglitz.
3) Russians still make jokes about the incomparable spy, Stierlitz. Example: "Stirlitz opened a door. The lights went on. Stirlitz closed the door. The lights went out. Stirlitz opened the door again. The light went back on. Stirlitz closed the door. The light went out again. "It's a fridge," concluded Stirlitz."
