Good on you, Charles.

You know you're right on this issue.
Stay the course.

Let's talk about something while we wait

Later, I am off to watch the White Sox try to make the playoffs.
Mama Winger , if your here , let's do a Crosstown!

What follows is an essay by Fjordman on what I consider to be the dangerous, almost lethal hypocrisy...

Pack a lunch. It's going to be a long f*cking post.

The appeal of joining forces with one enemy to destroy another is strong.

In this case, it is also very, very wrong.

Jeeebus, I don't know why Pam and Fjordman don't see this.

Read thru the first couple of paragraphs and almost lost it. I'll keep my opinion to myself in fear of being tracked down and hunted.

Thanks to Pastorius for your comments there, by the way. It's a lost cause.

Charles, you have my complete support in this. These guys are total a$$holes.

Sounds like a plan!

I love how it's "either-or" with that group, like if you're against radical Islamists, then you're great, no matter what else you're doing. Yo, Fjordman and Atlas, this is a little more complicated than choose "A" or "B".

re: #11 Noam Sayin'

Pack a lunch. It's going to be a long f*cking post.

I never saw a post by Fjordman that I read past the first paragraph.

turns out, it was nothing but fascist bile so I'm glad I saved myself the effort.

Go ahead pamela, fjordman and others- make excuses for the neo-nazis. They are not above using you to get the power they want. They are exploiting the situation, and you are falling for the trap.

That the situation is dire is still no excuse to make alliances with nazis. That the situation in europe is dire is exactly how fascists come to power. Learn from history or be doomed to repeat it, vb lovers.

I just posted this on the previous thread, not realizing it's imminent status as "dead thread". Here are my musings again, for everyone's amusement and/or derision:

Well, it looks like it's going to come down to just 3 states in the northeast that will determine our next President. Specifically the heart of the Rust Belt: Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan. Every projection and poll I've seen shows every other state firlmy in one camp or the other for most of this election season, giving 245 solid votes to McCain and 235 solid votes to Obama.

What this means is that the race will come down to whoever gets 2 of the 3 states mentioned* (Florida is just not in play, despite what Dems may think of their chances there). Ohio seems likes it's leaning towards McCain, while Michigan looks pretty good for Obama. I believe Pennsylvania will be the true battleground, like Ohio and Florida before.

*There is the slightest possibility that McCain could lose two states and still win anyway, but only if he can wrest Colorado and New Mexico away from Obama; but McCain is slightly vulnerable in Nevada and West Virginia, potentially cancelling that out. No, I don't expext too much shake-up in the western states or West Virginia. It's Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Once those three contests have been decided, the night is over.

I think EMC or some other large data storage vendor needs to "join forces" with these guys if they expect to let Fjordman to keep writing those long ass posts.

The line here is thin it seems.

But like most things, both sides hate Jews.

I posted the other night that here in the Philly suburbs, there are a lot more McCain signs this time than there were Bush signs four years ago.

Of course, I haven't heard how the registration of dead voters is going in Philly.

OK, I read it.

That makes it exponentially dubious.
(I hate Illinois Nazis)

"One of the reasons why hardcore anti-Semites (David Duke would be a case in point) are unreliable allies is that they hate Jews so much that it shuts down the rational parts of their brain and they end up making common cause with Muslims, based on mutual hatred."

Ah, so they aren't irrational because of their jew-hatred, it's that they use the rational parts of their brain on hating jews.

I really wish she would stop using that title for her blog.

Ayn Rand would have absolutely nothing to do with that kind of trash.

The poor, poor islamists in Europe are caught in this sandwich between Fascist forces and the Communist marxists. I think I have this right...the Fascists want the islamists out, the Communists want the Fascists out so if the Communists win, the Islamists win, don't they? And if the Fascists win, the islamists are out but at what price?

Makes me wonder if there isn't anyone in Europe that wants the islamists out yet doesn't fall under the "fascist" label. Is everyone in Europe that wants an end to islamofascism there to be considered a fascist? I fear that my views about islamists in America would certainly be labeled as "fascist" by the multicultural marxists of Europe.

Hey if you want to see the new face of Fascism, David Duke and his Euro buddies are having a conference in Memphis Tennessee early November. To protest whoever it is that wins the election. They hate em both. You can buy your tickets here (If you don't mind giving up your credit card info to Dr Duke.) International Euro Conference And this below is Duke pimping the event on $tormfront. no link.

by David Duke

Just a few short days after the political and media bosses install a new President of the United States; we will meet in Memphis, Tennessee to issue a clarion call for a Movement across the United States, and indeed across the European-American world, to defend our heritage and freedom!

We will assemble to say clearly that neither Black Radical, Barrack Obama, nor Mr. Amnesty, John McCain truly represent the will of the American people. This Conference will be the first powerful voice of our people in reaction and protest to the election and the lack of any real choice and any real Democracy in America. In this history-making time, we shall chart our course and forge a plan for the survival and freedom of the heritage that built and sustains America, Europe, and the other nations around the world of European descent.

As organizer of this EURO Conference, I welcome Willis Carto of American Free Press/Barnes Review, Don Black of Stormfront, Dr. Edward Fields and James Edwards of the Political Cesspool Radio Program as co-hosts for the event.

Memphis is one of the most centrally-located cities in the USA and is a major airline hub. It is convenient as a destination from almost anywhere, and easy to get to for our overseas participants as well.

It will be held in a first class, premier hotel in a beautiful and secure country setting that is still just a short ride from the Memphis region airport. This fine hotel has agreed to a reduction of almost 40 percent off their normal rates. [I wonder who in Memphis is giving the big discount to Nazis?-ed]

There will be a number of well-known, exciting speakers from overseas, as well as many major American and Canadian speakers including, Willis Carto, Don Black, Paul Fromm, Sam Dickson, James Edwards, Lady Michele Renouf of the UK, Dr. Tom Sunic of Croatia and a number of other famous individuals who will be announced at the meeting itself. Some speakers will be announced at the conference due to the fact that the Federal Government has sought to prevent entry to leaders of European Rights organizations and political movements.

The LGF-crowd thinks that Europeans must prove that we are 100% "ideologically pure" before we should be granted the right to fight for our continued existence.

Not at all.
But the USA isn't Europe.
Maybe these things fly in Belgium, but any connection to Naziism is political poison in this country.
The FASTEST way to discredit this site, and everything Charles (and others) have worked for over years, is to connect with neo-Nazis or their European fascist pals.
This isn't "ideologic purity" its pragmatic reality.

These are the kind of people who go to parties, and, out of politeness, refuse to tell racists to go f*&ck themselves.

Anyone willing to ally themselves with VB should not be shocked from the knife in the back after deflecting the knife from the front from Islam.

re: #20 Lizard by the Bay

It's Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Once those three contests have been decided, the night is over.

Well, at least that means I won't have to stay up till the wee hours of the morning, like in 2000.

Speaking of PA...let's go, Phillies!

David Duke stayed at a Vlaams Belang council member's house when he visited Belgium, remember:

[Link: littlegreenfootballs.com...]

Here is Fjordman's essay:

TLDR, except the last bit:

At some point, the rapidly shrinking number of people in the northern hemisphere who haven't been banned from the site yet will be forced to ask themselves whether the website and its owner have simply switched teams and joined the Dark Side.

What a hoot! This is comedy, right? [rhetorical]

re: #39 arethusa

I never said the vote counts in these states wouldn't go on into the wee hours of the morning. That's always a posibillity.

Fascist come to power when the government fails to take care of the needs of the people. That is what we're seeing in europe now. The weak kneed governments are failing their citizens, and the citizens are turning to the only groups they see willing to do anything about it.

This is what happened in post WWI europe, it is happening again. Europe will go fascist again- they did not learn. And people like pamela, fjordman and others (I know who you are) will be cheering.

Will you be cheering, pamela, when they round up the Jews after they're done with the muslims? Will others be cheering when tactics used by the islamists are put to use by the europeans, or will they turn a blind eye?

Shame on those who disregard Liberty and toss it under the bus. SHAME ON YOU!

What really gets me is that Pamela blames Charles, and LGF, for encouraging the attacks on those who attended the Cologne conference. (Oh yeah, like the European Left really cares about what what they consider Facist, right-wing American blogs and looks to them for their marching orders, ayup, ayup!)

This is as demented as anything coming from Naomi Wolfe.

The thinking seems to be that if you scratch any random European there is usually a Nazi lurking underneath, just waiting to get out. There are only two possible versions of Europeans: the surrender-monkeys and the Nazis.

Again, no.
But when something walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, what are you to assume?
Its up to you to build something that prevents encroachment of Islamism without being tied to neo-Nazism.
Until and unless you can do that, you wont get support from mainsteam America.

Such scenery chewing hysteria all so Eurofascist pols can win more votes in their districts. What bileous spume.

I mean you invite LePen what the fuck do you expect? The fact that it's all so easy to shut this crap down ought to give Geller a glimpse at how extreme her new Euro social circle is.

Is she going to be pimping books for Pat next?

The LGF-crowd thinks that Europeans must prove that we are 100% "ideologically pure" before we should be granted the right to fight for our continued existence.

We're all fighting for our continue existence, idiot. The enemy wants us all to be either dead or dhimmified. The jihadis make no distinction between Americans and Europeans.

The difference between us, is that you choose to align yourself with (what you perceive to be) a lesser evil, in order to fight (what you perceive to be) a greater evil.

What you fail to realize, is that it's the SAME evil.

The Nazis came to power back in the 1930's by claiming that they were the only ones who could save the world from Russian Marxism (and the Jews, of course).

We all know how well their war against the Bolsheviks went. (Can you say "Hitler/Stalin Pact, boys and girls? I knew you could!)

As Spence has pointed out before, racial purity is not a credible or effective basis upon which to build opposition to Muslim extremism. For that reason alone, apart from their distasteful appeal to race, the white supremicists are losers.

re: #48 TalkinKamel

The National Socialists and the Soviet communists were basically two gangs competing for real estate, slave laborers, and other resources. The Nazi-Soviet War of 1941-1945 could be characterized as a drive by shooting carried out on an industrial scale.

re: #43 Sharmuta

Fascist come to power when the government fails to take care of the needs of the people

I would say, rather, that fascists come to power when government takes away the power of people to take care of themselves.

Europe has been living as a nanny state, effectively neutering the strength and abilities of its population. It has taken away their guns, it has taken away their right to free speech and made it a hate crime to speak out against those who would seek to harm society. It has made people dependent on government welfare and effectively crippled ingenuity, creativity and production. Their sense of self-determination has been stolen from them by the government via the European Union.

People in Europe don't need more government to take care of them, they need government to give rights back to the people so that they may take care of themselves.

Charles, thanks for pointing this out btw. I've got most of that circle on /ignore and never would have noticed this. She'll probably get more hits tonight than she's had in months.

Because Fjordman's ego is so big, he will check these comments.

So here is a little feedback, FM.

That post is so stuffed with strawmen that it is a fire hazard.

I will do you the favor and focus on one of them.

What is this 100% ideological purity test bullshit? There is a broad spectrum of political viewpoints within the west that you claim to defend from Islam. So where is this definition of ideological purity to which one must adhere 100%?

Reply where ever you like - I will find it.

The point repeatedly made here is that embracing fascists, even while holding your nose, doesn't cut it. Fascists simply will destroy what we hope to defend, they will simply do it in a different way than the Islamists.

I can't believe Fjordman expects an apology. That guy needs to lay off the fermented twinkies...

re: #52 mama winger

No- fascists come to power by exploiting the weakness of the government to do their job for the people.

When the farmers of the Po Valley needed help, the government did nothing, so they turned to the Blackshirts, and this paved the was for fascists in Italy.

When the farmers in France needed help, the government helped them. The Blueshirts had no influence and fascism in France never became a force to be reckoned with.

re: #58 Sharmuta

I guess my ideological bent is a little different. I believe that the solution to most problems is less government, not more. The most dreaded words to me are

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help you."

re: #49 buzzsawmonkey

I tend to look more at her megalomania. The constant restating of her Jewish identity is simply a dimension of the megalomania. Just look at that post -- not one link except to herself in the introduction. And the graphics emphasizing her physique are supposed to support her arguments? I know they are intended as humor, but only in the most self flattering way.

What's next for Pamela? Support for David Duke and American white supremists because they 'share' a common goal?

re: #50 quickjustice

As Spence has pointed out before, racial purity is not a credible or effective basis upon which to build opposition to Muslim extremism. For that reason alone, apart from their distasteful appeal to race, the white supremicists are losers.

Let me ask a question. If I am a white Swede who is adamantly against the islamafication of my homeland, can you explain how I will NOT be labeled as a "white supremacist" by the marxists in Europe? Surely you aren't saying that the 5,000 (or whatever ridiculously low number) Vlaams Belang members in Belgium represent 100% of the causcasian opposition to the islamists in Europe? Is it not possible that 75% of the white Swedes opposed to islamofascism in Sweden are NOT members of the Swedish Democrats? Is it possible that the Swedes opposed to the islamists that are defenders of Israel and NOT stricken with the racial purity angle, simply refuse to organize themselves because of the eventual label of "supremacist" , "neo-nazi" or "fascist"?

Sorry, but it appears to me that the "fascist" or "white supremacist" paint brush used on the Europeans is about as wide as France and as long as Norway.

Like many here, I oppose an Obama presidency for a multitude of policy reasons.

White supremacists oppose an Obama presidency because he is black.

I would sooner taste the sweet, gunpowdery release of my Thompson .45 than join with fascists for a common political goal.

When you suspend your core beliefs for an end result, you jeopardize those very beliefs you claim to hold true. A simple, undeniable fact that seems lost to those who would side with a repugnant ideology for the sake of political expediency.

Let me see if I understand Fjordman's "logic". He starts hanging out with Neo-Nazis. Then he starts tying the fascist Neo-Nazi movement to anti-Jihad, welcoming them with open arms to the cause. Then he starts getting called a Nazi and fascist. And so he blames us (as in LGF) for tying him to Neo-Nazi fascists when all we did was turn our backs on him by refusing to go down his path.

Do I have the basic gist of what the psycho little turd is saying?

Whereas the liberal state rested on a compact among its citizens to protect individual rights and freedoms, the fascist state embodied the national destiny, in service to which all the members of the national group found their highest fulfillment.

-Robert Paxton, Anatomy of Fascism

You cannot fight fascism with fascism. Shame on those who toss Liberty aside so lightly.

What amuses me is the blatant self-contradiction of Fjordmann criticizing others for 'ideological purity', when those others are merely refusing to buy into what Fjordmann favors: linking arms with racial purists in order to oppose religious purists.

#64
pretty much.
swim in the duck pond, show the requisite plumage, and quack, and your mother may still call you a swan, but to me, Fjordman, you sure look like a duck...

To ally yourself with fascists, be they white black or yellow for all I care, against Islamofacists is like drinking one brand of beer instead of another. Fascists are fascists without any regard to brand - all want the same goals in the end: [insert specific fascist ideology here] will rule the world order and no Jews. Replacing one with another won't solve the problem. We must oppose all fascists if we are to make it as citizens of free countries and as a race in general. Our fathers and grandfathers fought the white (Nazis) and red (Communists) fascists alike and we should follow their example.

I'm with Charles on this one.

No fascists allowed.

aw darnit, did i kill the thread again?

re: #61 rightymouse

What's next for Pamela? Support for David Duke and American white supremists because they 'share' a common goal?

Nah, but only because the Duke-heads are on the other side; they support Islamofascism through their opposition to the war and their mutual hatred of Jews. Duke himself has made some highly lucrative speaking engagements in various middle eastern fascist hellholes, where he is treated as an honored guest and a legitimate American leader.

I can't help but think that there really is no hope for Europe.

It's a truly sad state of affairs and I expect it to get worse as the years go by.

"Enjoy your new allies, folks."
- Charles

Umm, don't you mean enjoy your new AXIS?

salamantis, i regret that i have but one upding to give for that very clever bit of wit!

Stuff like this happening in Europe really concern me. Is there no middle ground at all? Is there any group in Europe that fights this Islamification that is not connected to the White Supremacists?

...A line of anti-riot police agents was only two meters behind them. I can not find a better image of the creeping Eurabian fascism: The police not only do not confront them, they cover their backs...

...Thomas Steg, spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel, stated that Berlin favored "inter-cultural dialogue." The German Interior Ministry, too, criticized the rally, stating that "Such a gathering of populists and extremists harms the co-existence that the city and Muslim citizens have striven for..."

...Cologne Mayor Fritz Schramma, from the same "conservative" Christian Democratic Party (CDU) as Chancellor Merkel, said on public radio that "We don't want their conference and along with a great majority of Cologne people we'll be obstructing them..."

OTOH, I think there may be more Obama signs up than there were Kerry signs by this time four years ago. It's early yet. I expect to see a lot more of both soon.

I'm glad the neo-nazis are fighting against the Islamic fascists. But I'm not going to accept an "alliance" with them, or overlook their faults because of it.

re: #68 Twilight

The European supremists are more clever, it seems. Methinks they are hiding their ultimate agenda which I fear won't stop at Muslims if they ever gain political power on the backs of non-suspecting Jews.

Charles thanks for keeping the real work here untainted, we will need it kept untainted or the work will not work.

Fjordman was a big proponent of mass deportations from his homeland of people who "don't belong" there. All those 10,000 word essays he writes can be summed up in that one central goal.

Ultimately the two forces islamic and fascist may destroy each other, & it is better to stand back from that.

Ornery the answer to that question is not that hard.

You argue against the ideology of the Takfirists, not the symbols (scarves, mosques) because that's ultimately stupid and ineffective. (It's also driven by these far right group's own ideologies of blood and soil, but another time for that.)

You use facts, data, reason, not rhetoric and hysteria.

You fight to enforce all of your laws equally, for that is where the line of resistance is truly drawn.

You demonstrate against specific hate clerics and use their own words against them and you persist until those individuals are driven out. They cannot survive in the light. The truth is a powerful weapon.

What you don't do:

Ally with LePen and like outfits, you are defeated from the start, no questions asked, none needed. Nobody needs to take you seriously.

re: #78 rightymouse

The European supremists are more clever, it seems. Methinks they are hiding their ultimate agenda which I fear won't stop at Muslims if they ever gain political power on the backs of non-suspecting Jews.

Of course it's not going to stop with the muslims. It will continue on to any group that the fascists believe don't belong in the state.

Things seem to be going a bit pear-shaped over at Jihadwatch, as well.

Methinks the Baron and Pamela, more emphatically Fjordman, must be a little unsure of themselves. Otherwise they wouldn't obsess so much over what Charles thinks of them--but they do obsess*. I am not saying that they are not sincere in their resistance to jihad, but they just don't want to admit that their efforts are tainted by their association with or acquiescence toward the blood-and-soil cadres. Pamela especially should know better, but she has made a choice that will only allow resentment to cloud her otherwise keen observations on the tactics of the jihadis and her support for true patriots like John Bolton and Carolyn Glick.

They rail against Charles when he criticizes them; they rail against Charles when he ignores them. Indeed, they suffer from obsession.

re: #74 Outrider

Well, I think all of us in America can relate to how the MSM treats conservatives in American in their "reporting" , so it stands to reason that the marxist controlled news media of Europe would treat any counter-jihad group in the same way , in other words:

Sarah Palin courtesy of American MSM = Evil Neo-Con Reactionary

Counter-jihadists in Europe courtesy of European marxist media = White Supremacist Neo-Fascist Nazis

Exactly.

Is Pamela Geller any relation to Uri Geller? Maybe she could just make the Islamists disappear?

Damn, Fjordman's posts are always so long. I always seem to lose interest in them before I finish. One can get away with that - if you're Bill Whittle. You know, take me on a little journey with you.

I've seldom posted on these white nationalist-themed threads because I'm mostly just reading learning. Thank you lizards for breaking it all down for the rest of us.

Well- we certainly can't argue that the counter-jihad in europe is being treated unfairly when they welcome the nazis with open arms. Gee- maybe it's part of the problem, huh?

They have their own history books for that.

I have to agree with Ornery Elephant (#62). Being frustrated with your government and opposing the importation of Islam doesn't make you a Nazi, fascist, or white supremacist. But hanging with David Duke makes it likely.

Let's not be so quick to reject possible allies in a long war. If they're a problem later, we kick their asses, too. Pamela seems like a good sort. I didn't read much of the Fjordman thing; life's too short.

Agreed. They know the way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. There is no reason to think they would stop purifying their homeland once the Muslims were gone.

re: #77 Slumbering Behemoth

I mean seriously...you said:

the counter-jihad in europe is being treated unfairly when they welcome the nazis with open arms.

Does that mean that if Robert Spencer embraced The Aryan Nation in America here, that the lizards of LGF would be "welcoming the nazis with open arms" ?

Is Vlaams Belang 50,000,000 strong or am I missing something?

re: #106 Twilight

Thanks for correcting me. Fascism by itself is not antisemitic but is always based on class/race divisions. Most brands have antisemitism/racism on their agenda or get to it in later stages one way or the other.
But you got my point anyway I hope.

Yes, that is why I say "blood-and-soil cadres," because not all those in Europe (or here in America) who reject the pluralism of the classical liberal are specifically (neo)Nazi.

I guess this makes Pam a "useful idiot." Too bad, I used to like her blog. I guess she doesn't know that fascist always look for the next culprit to their woes.

re: #77 Slumbering Behemoth

Fascism, at it's core, is not about getting rid of the Jews, but it does seem to be the icing on the turd for many brands of fascist scum.

That's true- the fascists in Italy had no problem with the Jews until they started their alliance with the Nazis.

re: #109 ornery elephant

I'm not so sure Robert Spencer is one to be help up in this conversation.

re: #100 Tom on the Rez

Let's not be so quick to reject possible allies in a long war.

Let's not be so quick to treat people fighting against a common enemy as "allies".

I'm glad the white fascists are fighting against the Islamic fascists, and I think the Islamic fascists are currently more dangerous, but that doesn't mean I want the white fascists to win. I'll gladly accept one group of my enemies weakening another group of my enemies. But I won't accept them as "allies" or "friends", only as less powerful enemies.

Flip it on it's head:

If a violent, pro-aryan supremacy, fascist movement was gaining wealth, power, territory and influence, who would find it acceptable to join forces with islamo-fascists to oppose them?

Not I.

re: #100 Tom on the Rez

Hanging out with David Duke is not ok (which we all agree with), but hanging out with self-admitted European white supremacists is just hunky-dory?

re: #62 ornery elephant

Sorry, but it appears to me that the "fascist" or "white supremacist" paint brush used on the Europeans is about as wide as France and as long as Norway.

---
You have a point there. Any right wing group AUTOMATICALLY gets painted with a "fascist" label in Europe. That's why everyone there seems to be left or squarely in the center. There is an unhealthy self-loathing for nationalism [love of country] in Europe.

Being "right" in Europe quite often means joining a far right group because of the false security it brings in a political gang. It's sort of like her in the US when Republicans [the right] don't advertise their political beliefs for fear of retribution [cars getting keyed, etc.]

If only there could be "right-wing" parties in Europe without the fascist crap.

re: #106 Twilight

I got your point, and gave you an up-ding. I wasn't trying to correct you, just trying to point out that fascism is not about racial divisions. Though it does help the instigators to have a scapegoat of some sort, and racial/religious divisions seem to be the easiest to exploit.

re: #125 winston06

Someone tell me whats wrong with Atlas Shrugs. I thought she was one of the good guys. What happened to her?

Fear.

The only viable opposition to the theocratic totalitarianism of the global jihadist ummah is not a resurgence of genocidal blood and soil fascism; it is a rededication to spreading the equal civil and human rights, the guaranteed personal freedoms, the permission to politically participate in deciding the future course of one's own nation, the racial, religious, and gender egalitarianism, and the unfettered and unhindered, equality-of-opportunity-based chances for fairly earned prosperity for oneself and one's family that are at the core of the concept of constitutional democracy, to all people who truly desire them - in other words, to all people with an authentic desire to live out their lives in peace, freedom, and prosperity. That will be a majority of uncoerced people in most cultures. Genuine constitutional democracies do not typically war with each other, nor do they typically support terrorist groups that attack each other.

Charles, I think we have a lot of new folks here who don't understand the history of this conflict.

Pamela loves Bat Ye'or, treats her like her bubbie. Bat Ye'or has been very strong and brave against jihad, but for some reason she has aligned herself with a number of the blood-and-soil cadres.

re: #90 ornery elephant

Well, I think all of us in America can relate to how the MSM treats conservatives in American in their "reporting" , so it stands to reason that the marxist controlled news media of Europe would treat any counter-jihad group in the same way , in other words:

Sarah Palin courtesy of American MSM = Evil Neo-Con Reactionary

Counter-jihadists in Europe courtesy of European marxist media = White Supremacist Neo-Fascist Nazis

The problem of course, is that the Counter-jihadists seem to have allied with the White Supremacist Neo-Fascist Nazis, even to the point of welcoming them with open arms.

Just like Charles warned them last year, this will keep many people away from the counter-jihad movement. That assertion seems to be borne out by the protest numbers, 1,500 counter-jihadists v. 40,000 anti-fascists.

Charles,

I believe that many here, understand, and to a point sympathize with Pamela Geller's view, i.e. the existential threat that is Islam, or to some radical Islam, is so great, and so imminent, that any measure is justifiable in order to stem its advance.

Whether or not Ms. Geller is frum (observant in her Judaism) is beside the point.

What I take from her writings (or rants) is that she is willing for the sake of expedience to align herself with those who may be otherwise objectionable to preserve Judaism/Israel, both she believes are being immediately threatened with annihilation.

I get that.

With all due respect Charles, you are what the Jews call a "Righteous Gentile," it may be the highest compliment imaginable.

I understand and fully appreciate your objections to VB and others of their ilk.

I get that, too.

My own belief is that Europe, or what was once known as Europe (including the Kingdom of Great Britain) is doomed, or already lost.

If not, it will be, ironically, the Nazi's who save Europe and ultimately, the Jews.

Let me clear, I am NOT an advocate for the ethic nationalism that is represented by the so-called White brigades. I abhor them and their policies.

Yet, in the end, I think that's the way things are going to work out.

You are one of a kind, Charles.

Really.

Keep up the great work.

Just sayin'.

People are viewing this from the standpoint of anti-jihadists accepting fascists as allies. I believe the opposite to be true. Fascist Europe is recruiting good citizens into their ranks by using fear of Islam. It's what fascists do to gain power. Sure, a possible benefit would be the removal of Islam, but who in their right mind would want to live under fascist rule?

re: #100 Tom on the Rez

re: #114 LotharBot

Again, remember the Hitler/Stalin pact?

The Russians were well aware of the Nazis' racial views, and that these views considered Slavs only slightly less loathsome than Jews---but, why reject a possible ally, da? Surely, the Germans would support them in their mutual war against the corrupt, Western capitalists, and not betray them, right?

When the Nazis did stab them on the back, the Russians did have the option of allying themselves with the very Western allies it had hoped to destroy; who are we going to ally ourselves with, when our Euro-Facist "allies" turn on us? "Kicking their asses later" isn't always an option, and it's wishful thinking to make dangerous alliances trusting that we can always take care of them later, if they turn on us. Maybe---maybe not.

Can you give me one example of a counter-jihad group in Europe that you HAVE supported? Are you saying that every counter-jihad group in Europe that has organized you have not accused of being neo-nazi or white supremacist?

re: #110 ContraJihadi

Yes, that is why I say "blood-and-soil cadres," because not all those in Europe (or here in America) who reject the pluralism of the classical liberal are specifically (neo)Nazi.

I maybe old fashioned, but I honestly believe that opposition to evil should be based on the democratic values as expressed by the American Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Human Rights in general. Any ideology that would reject or infringe on what is said in those two documents (all brands of fascism - white, red, Islamic - fall in this category) is evil because it goes against the common scene of freedom that allows us to be all that we want to be without any regard to race, gender, social status or whatever. I will never ally myself to such evil, no matter what the cause is, and I will always fight fascism in all its ugly forms, just like my father and grandfather before me.

If the Nazis are defending "Europe," what Europe exactly are they defending?

Not a Europe worth defending, in my opinion.

They can take their racist ideas and shove them.

re: #135 Kreuzueber Halbmond

A lot of people probably won't, which will bring us to another problem; Facism, if it's successful (again) in Europe, is going to prove as destabalizing and violent as Islam, as many attempt to flee its influence, and the totalitarian governments attempt to clamp down on everyone, and everything, and start wars with those who are not ethnically/ideologically pure enough for them. It's not going to be much of an improvement over an Islamic Europe.

re: #131 Irish Rose

Yeah. I am not new here (sorta) LOL... But until now I thought Atlas was with us. What happened?

There is something very bizarre with Fjordman's "arguments." (It reoccurs periodically). He seems to believe (this is my interpretation of his arguments) that all he need do is allege this -- that Group X is "a victim" -- et Voila! -- Case closed...thus he instantly becomes on the side of the righteous, the right side of justice, and the one above reproach. Then the "aggressors" against the "victim" also instantly become labeled as the demonic ones (ok, the "fascists," "nazis" etc.). It's ridiculous. I could go through one of Fjordman's "essays" and do a substitution -- just reverse all the names...and et Voila! you get a reversal of the "persecuted"/"victim" vs "perp". One would think that if matters were indeed this simple, so obvious, and so elemental -- why would there be trials? why would there be disputes? It would all be so cut and dry -- just look for "the victim" and Voila! you get "Innocent!" (I think this is pretty much crazy for adult-level thinking -- might expect such exclamations from children, but adults?) (btw, if you actually "buy" into this kind of thinking -- it's actually dangerous -- consider, for example, victors in war -- are we really supposed to assess the degree of righteousness for a "cause" based solely on who can produce the greatest number of "victims?" put them on a metaphoric weigh scale? that's how "justice" or rightness of a cause is to be determined? good g-d! Fjordman needs to go and take a look at how moral arguments are constructed, how to develop one's evidence, how to put forward one's case, develop the ideas -- and reach beyond "casualty counts."

re: #149 TalkinKamel

I have been to the Netherlands many time and the Liberal church going people there are countering the Jihadists very successfully. My Green voting Church going Dutch friends don't like the radical Muslims and they are fighting them as best as they can. But they have no room/apetite for the Fascists, AFAIK.

re: #125 winston06

Someone tell me whats wrong with Atlas Shrugs. I thought she was one of the good guys. What happened to her?

I don't know the specifics of Atlas, but in general:

Many bloggers have decided to ignore or downplay others' white supremacist leanings, statements, symbolism, etc. They've accepted white supremacists as outright "allies" in the war against Islamofascism. Charles has criticized this heavily, saying that the neo-nazis are also enemies and should be treated that way. This has gone back and forth, with Fjordman and others defending groups like Vlams Belang, and Charles calling them out for it.

I think Charles is at least 95% right in this case (though I haven't followed it carefully enough to know if his criticisms have been 100% fair.) The neo-nazis are our enemies, and we should treat them that way. We need to fight against all forms of fascism, not just the islamo- variety, and that means we need to reject the neo-nazis rather than seeking them out as "allies". Those who refuse to do are fools (though not necessarily neo-nazis themselves.)

Good to hear that. Any other input on more European non-Facist groups opposing Islam?

There is no sane alliance with people who would weigh the costs of associating with others who are ideological and actual racists.

What the f*** is so hard to understand about such a concept?

It's silly to declare that the entire European anti-Jihad movement is racist. But there are those who proclaim themselves to be under that aegis, who CLEARLY are racist. The only tenet of a global anti-jihad movement should be promoting the awareness of, and actively campaigning against, Islamic Fascism.

Seeking to promote ones race with such causes is underhanded, counter-productive and frankly, not something I want a part of, cause...

I'm a "minority". And when they're done with the Islamonazis...

She has apparently decided to ally herself with the ideological descendents of those who almost exterminated her people a few decades ago, now that they've pinky-promised not to try again for the time being, and furthermore pledged to oppose those who are presently pledging to exterminate her people. It's like a rabbit riding on the back of a mountain lion to escape a wolf. The mountain lion just considers it to be portable lunch.

re: #127 Slumbering Behemoth

Fascism is not about racial divisions. Though it does help the instigators to have a scapegoat of some sort, and racial/religious divisions seem to be the easiest to exploit.

You are correct, fascism is not about racial divisions.
Fascism is more about conscripting the entire society for the "higher cause" at the the expense of individual rights and freedoms while putting the society above the individual need. To accomplish that (since it is against the hedonistic self-centered human nature) the fascist ideology must have the "arch nemesis". The easiest way is to pick someone obviously different from the public the fascist is trying to appeal to - racially, culturally or religiously.

And I know TalkinKamel will remember our dear, dear friends in the nazi parties of europe beating up on feminist groups.

How are they different from the islamists we're trying to fight if they hate "others" and feminists?

re: #167 Salamantis

re: #148 rightymouse

No.

My point was to say that I understand to some degree why ms. Geller has taken and advocated for her positions.

They are NOT my positions.

Look, European Jewry was almost annihilated and those who weren't liquidated have, most recently, emigrated because it is becoming increasingly dangerous for Jews to stay.

That the Nazi's and the Islamists will do battle for control of Europe is one of many possible scenarios.

My view is that Europe is already lost, the effects of which haven't yet been felt.

I do NOT support what may be the Ethno-Religious war that may some day (soon) arrive.

It is a tragedy.

Still, I have some sympathy for why Ms. Geller has adopted her positions, NOT sympathy with her positions.

This quote which she ignores.

One of the reasons why hardcore anti-Semites (David Duke would be a case in point) are unreliable allies is that they hate Jews so much that it shuts down the rational parts of their brain and they end up making common cause with Muslims, based on mutual hatred.

She's an unreliable ally because she's tied into pepole that hate because of race/religion. It's hard core Radical Islamic Fundamentalists that are teh problem, when you tar everyone with the same brush not only are you unjust but push peole to the other side.

I will never ally myself to such evil, no matter what the cause is, and I will always fight fascism in all its ugly forms, just like my father and grandfather before me.

Generally I agree, but I must point out that in fighting fascism during WWII, our government chose to ally strategically with Stalin. In the course of history, sometimes questionable alliances will force themselves even upon the good. I believe that even some commenting here at LGF could accept a situation, should the battle become so hot, that for the moment, a tactical alliance with fascistic anti-jihadis might become necessary--but always keeping in mind that the partners were fascists indeed and that we did not accept their ideologies.

re: #175 yah

I think I am now getting a clearer picture of this

Even in the U.S.A. several years ago already, the white supremists and like went on a "clean up their image" program. To become, act, look and talk more mainstream. To present themselves as less radical and make themselves over to appear less "threatening" to get more accepted.

Strangely enough, they also linked up with many of the "new age" group. Or at least adopted that "new age" type lifestyle and rhetoric. But they also seem to be playing to the "end times" and prophecy-conspiracy theory crowd.

re: #135 Kreuzueber Halbmond

Exactly right KZ, they are stealing a noble cause and diminishing it with their stupidity. They will adapt any cause to stage their theater. What's most disturbing about VB is their international outreach to other tribal nationalist groups. They ally with some of the violent Central and South American groups as well as the Euro ones, and there are definite ties to David Duke and the Stormfront crowd, as Charles has pointed out in several articles here. They also support the Quebecois separatists even though they hate the French in Belgium simply because they are also tribal purists. The list goes on and on.

re: #160 TalkinKamel

I know, I know. . . and David Duke hangs out with the European white-supremecists.

This is not hunky-dory.

Somehow, Pamela et al haven't quite figured that out yet. Europe has a mess on their hands, but it won't be solved by inviting people into a 'common cause' only to find out later that they were going to be part of the final solution too. Then it's too late.

I think Charles could help some of us out with a primer of the Euro fascists and white nationalists. I know it might be a lot of work, but he probably has the info close at hand. Is there a "Right" (libertarian, or at least free market) in Europe? Maybe it could be available permanently as a link on the main page?

We know all about white supremacists here where I live. We had to leave our church, 'cause a couple of deacons testified for the Klan, then forced out our pastor and those of us who didn't like it (this isn't ancient history, it's been less than two years). Fascist terror, and "minor" things like segregated services (White vs. Black & Red) are all within living memory. White folks spanked my wife's language out of her when she was a small child in boarding school. My own children's schools had separate, segregated proms. I DO NOT take white supremacists lightly. I just find it hard to believe there's no organized parties in Europe that pass our stringent ideological purity test.

I guess I need to be edumacated. Is there a Cliff's Notes, are Eurofascists for Dummies?

re: #166 winston06

Well, quite honestly, a Western church really hasn't had an army of its own to command in the international field since Napoleon disbanded the Order of Knights Hospitalers. *And, to be perfectly honest, I really don't want to see any of the current western governments start a warrior/military religious order; they'd surely bungle the job. I think we're better off with a citizen army, of no one particular religion, and defending the religious freedoms of those like the European churches you mention.

Western governments, traditionally, have always some kind of separation of church and state. Even in the time of the Crusades, the role of the church, and the role of the king, were two very different things. No Christian king was ever considered head of both the church AND his kingdom, the way the Islamic Caliph was both the secular, and religious head of the ummah---no, not even the kings of Jerusalem.

I'm glad to hear the European churches are doing such good work.

*A crusade is a voluntary thing; the Pope could call on knights and great lords to defend the Holy Land, and promise them remittance of their sins if they did so, but he couldn't command them to go there, and he didn't ride at the head of their armies, or come up with military tactics.

Back about 2 years ago, I recorded several of Fjordman's essays, as they were NOT THEN openly racist...

I have since taken them off the internet and off the market.

I support the Oneness of Humankind, the equality of men and women and the Independent Investigation of Reality, and Fjordman has demonstrated that, at least for now, he is allying with racists.

I won't dispute what you say. I merely point out that such an alliance was made. Could the U.S. and Britain have prevailed against Hitler and the rest of the Axis without such an alliance? I must confess that I do not know.

I would suggest that in fighting the jihad, one of the questions that needs to be asked is, Can we succeed without some kind of alliance with the "softer" blood-and-soil cadres, even if we never ally with the "harder" fascists? Again, I do not know.

I will say that I trust McCain more than I trust Obama to make the more realistic decision.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Matthew 16:26

...weigh the good that they do with the hurt that cometh of them, and yet shall find it much better to lack both than have both.

From Thomas More's Reflections on Complicity with Evil in the History of King Richard III.

The best way to stop the Islamization of Europe is to STOP further moslem immigration, period. Assimilate the current immigrant population.

Harsh, but it doesn't involve any fascist tactics.

There are many countries in the world that prohibit immigration, except to a select few or class.

re: #185 Twilight

Myself, I have serious doubts as to whether or not it was really worth it, or, even if it was necessary to ally ourselves with Stalin at the height of the fighting, it was wise to keep the alliance going as long as we did; maybe we should have followed Churchill's advice, and declared war on Russia after Berlin and Japan surrendered. . .

And, of course, Russia's alliance with Germany didn't work out very well for Russia. . .

re: #193 ContraJihadi

Your analogy is flawed. Stalin at the time of WWII was not known as an "evil dictator." (The New York Times hushed up Stalin's atrocities -- the famine in the Ukraine, according to the NY Times did not occur -- the peasants were fat and happy, etc.) And at the end of the war, Russia (and Stalin -- that's "Uncle Joe") were celebrated as heroes -- parades in their honor -- again, celebrated. It was Winston Churchill who didn't like Stalin and made his warnings known to Truman...(then the Cold War began, etc.)

Barack Obama is the least qualified major party nominee for the Presidency in at least 100 years. I agree with Christopher Hitchens' assessment that Obama is actually scared that he might win the Presidency! Sort of reminds me of the Robert Redford 1972 movie "The Candidate" where his character, newly elected Senator McKay, says to his campaign manager (Peter Boyle) at the very end after winning the election "What do we do now?"

And, unfortunately, all the understanding in the world won't make a stupid/dangerous/evil decision a right one. That's just how it is.

You probably know more than I do. I am just trying to generalize from that fact that the alliance was made and to ponder the fact that throughout history many such alliances have been made. I suppose a war effort under a President Wilkie(sp?) would not have included an alliance with Stalin, but for there to have been a President Wilkie, the majority of voters would have had to have repudiated the concept of the New Deal. ...

Wheels within wheels, and my knowledge is paltry.

re: #217 Salamantis

IIRC, the Swedish Democrats have made moves at actually removing their nazis from within. However- there was a story later about a nazi presence still in the party.

re: #190 TalkinKamel

I have a different opinion there; I believe the Western Church needs a new militant order. Staffed by men of long service in military and law enforcement who come to orders late in life.

The new militant order should be unarmed; but advise on security and safety measures. This is an old mission, back to the original charter of the Hospitalers, but so many evils and injustices can be solved without violence by resolute men who understand violence.

===

BTW I dropped in on Pamela's site and reiterated my tired, well-worn plea for a Eurpoean WFB to step up.

Of course ideologically, Naziism and Islamism are intrinsically similar (hence the well-used term "Islamofascism"). That alone explains why no group that is truly ideologically against Islamism can ally itself with Neo-nazis or other fascists.

The reality *ought* to be that anti-Islamist movements are based on a core of resistance to militant expansion of Islam and violence, coupled with a strong respect for individual rights like freedoms of speech, religion, etc.

But from a distance, pretty much *any* anti-Jihad movement is going to look like a racist or anti-religious one, by its very nature. That's certainly how every anti-Islamist website (including this one) is painted.

So for reasons that should be incredibly obvious, no anti-Islamist movement can afford to associate with actual racists and fascists. That sort of association simply undermines any ideological legitimacy of the movement.

The USSR had her hands full fighting Nazi Germany. 75 - 80% of the German armed forces were concentrated against the USSR. Funny how before the Nazi invasion of the USSR on 6/22/41 (when the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was still in effect) the communists in the West and their fellow travelers all were denouncing Britain's ''plutocratic, imperialist war'', then all of a sudden they were demanding "Second Front now'!

re: #216 TalkinKamel

Most historians allege that the turning point in WWII came with the Battle of Stalingrad -- it's when Russian forces surrounded and defeated Hitler's army...(incredible losses were incurred on both sides...but the losses were far more crippling for the nazis...up until that time an Allied victory was iffy at best... )

Russia couldn't fight on two fronts, that's why they kept peace with Japan.

Germany fought on two fronts, with the eastern front by far the larger front with the most casualties. Had Germany not invaded Russia the entire war I think would have turned out differently.
The US didn't enter until late '41.

I agree although one can even make a case that the turning point was the failure of the Germans in the Battle of Moscow (Oct 1941 - January 1942). Even after Stal;ing rad the Wehrmacht had incredibly striking power until they frittered away their armored reserves in the massive and unbelievably bloody summer battles around Kursk and the Dnieper River.

The MSM which is uniformly neo-Socialist and almost completely in the tank for Obama will not raise a peep of protest. Remember when they were comparing Attorney General Ashcroft to Heinrich Himmler? Barry-O will also look to get as many Ramsey Clark types as judges. Those dumb ass Republican ideologues and so called "Conservatives" can stick their 'purity" up their sphincters. The country's future is at stake and there will not be a replay of 1980 or 1994 after the inevitable Obama disaster. I have my issues with McCain but the man is far and away a better man then The One and far more qualified to be President. Those of you (hopefully this includes all of us) who make more than $42,000 a year, watch the Federal government take more of your paycheck away for bull shit "social spending" and "income redistribution". There is not a single Democratic Senator who does not know in his/her heart of hearts that Obama has not the slightest clue on how to be President and who thinks that he can learn on the fly. I was going to vote for McCain but never made a contribution in my life but my next paycheck is going to be $100 poorer as I will be sending a "C" note to the McCain-Palin camp.

I agree there. That's where my father's unit got decimated [Tenth Panzer Division]. They were sent back to France to regroup. Before he left for reassignment he had leave. While on leave my mother asked him if he wanted her uncle's address in the USA, just in case. His reply was "NO, I'll be dead. The war is lost. Damn Nazis" He was shipped out to Africa to join the Afrika Korps [10PD Aufklärungs-Abteilung 90] where eventually the Korps surrendered.
Spent the rest of the war in Memphis POW camp.
After war, my great-uncle sponsored our family to immigrate to the USA.

Do you think Roosevelt was candid in his praise? Or just politic? I confess I do not accurately comprehend just how much Roosevelt actually admired Stalin and the kind of supreme control over the state Stalin possessed. It certainly seems that Roosevelt harbored some grandiose ambitions (e.g. Court packing and the command economy generally), but I have no insight at all into whether he believed his powers had any proper limits.

re: #240 J.S.

What a coincidence. My father was a MP and guarded German POW's from the Afrika Korps throughout the South including Tennessee. I wonder if they met.

The Allied losses on D-Day would have been considered a quiet day on the Eastern Front.
