It will not be available for a long period so consider taking a backup copy of
it:

After years of work the first edition of the compendium “2083 – A European
Declaration of Independence” is completed. If you have received this book, you
are either one of my former 7000 patriotic Facebook friends or you are the
friend of one of my FB friends. If you are concerned about the future of Western
Europe you will definitely find the information both interesting and highly
relevant.
I have spent several years writing, researching and compiling the information
and I have spent most of my hard earned funds in this process (in excess of
300 000 Euros). I do not want any compensation for it as it is a gift to you, as
a fellow patriot.
Much of the information presented in this compendium (3 books) has been
deliberately kept away from the European peoples by our governments and the
politically correct mainstream media (MSM).
More than 90% of the EU and national parliamentarians and more than 95%
of journalists are supporters of European multiculturalism and therefore
supporters of the ongoing Islamic colonisation of Europe; yet, they DO NOT have
the permission of the European peoples to implement these doctrines.
The compendium, - “2083 – A European Declaration of Independence” - documents
through more than 1000 pages that the fear of Islamisation is all but
irrational.
It covers the following main topics:
1.
The rise of cultural Marxism/multiculturalism in Western Europe
2.
Why the Islamic colonization and Islamisation of Western Europe began
3.
The current state of the Western European Resistance Movements
(anti-Marxist/anti-Jihad movements)
4.
Solutions for Western Europe and how we, the resistance, should move forward in
the coming decades
5.
+ Covering all, highly relevant topics including solutions and strategies for
all of the 8 different political fronts
The compendium/book presents advanced ideological, practical, tactical,
organisational and rhetorical solutions and strategies for all patriotic-minded
individuals/movements. The book will be of great interest to you whether you are
a moderate or a more dedicated cultural conservative/nationalist.
Included are also demographical studies, historical statistics, forecasts and
insights on various subjects related to the ongoing and future struggle of
Europe. It covers most topics related to historical events and aspects of past
and current Islamic Imperialism, which is now removed or falsified by our
academia by instruction of Western Europe’s cultural relativist elites (cultural
relativism=cultural Marxism). It offers thorough analysis of Islam, which is
unknown to a majority of Europeans. It documents how the political doctrines
known as multiculturalism/cultural Marxism/cultural relativism was created and
implemented. Multiculturalists/cultural Marxists usually operate under the
disguise of humanism. A majority are anti-nationalists and want to deconstruct
European identity, traditions, culture and even nation states.
As we all know, the root of Europe's problems is the lack of cultural
self-confidence (nationalism). Most people are still terrified of nationalistic
political doctrines thinking that if we ever embrace these principles again, new
“Hitler’s” will suddenly pop up and initiate global Armageddon... Needless to
say; the growing numbers of nationalists in W. Europe are systematically being
ridiculed, silenced and persecuted by the current cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist political establishments. This has been a continuous
ongoing process which started in 1945. This irrational fear of nationalistic
doctrines is preventing us from stopping our own national/cultural suicide as
the Islamic colonization is increasing annually. This book presents the only
solutions to our current problems.
You cannot defeat Islamisation or halt/reverse the Islamic colonization of
Western Europe without first removing the political doctrines manifested through
multiculturalism/cultural Marxism…
I have written approximately half of the compendium myself. The rest is a
compilation of works from several courageous individuals throughout the world. I
originally planned to add a database of high quality graphic illustrations and
pictures. However, the document (file) would have been un-practically large
which would complicate the process of efficient distribution.
The content of the compendium truly belongs to everyone and is free to be
distributed in any way or form. In fact, I ask only one favour of you; I ask
that you distribute this book to everyone you know. Please do not think that
others will take care of it. Sorry to be blunt, but it does not work out that
way. If we, the Western European Resistance, fail or become apathetic, then
Western Europe will fall, and your freedom and our children’s freedom with it…
It is essential and very important that everyone is at least presented
with the truth before our systems come crashing down within 2 to 7 decades. So
again, I humbly ask you to re-distribute the book to as many patriotic minded
individuals as you can. I am 100% certain that the distribution of this
compendium to a large portion of European patriots will contribute to ensure our
victory in the end. Because within these three books lies the tools required to
win the ongoing Western European cultural war.
As already mentioned; the compendium is a compilation of works from multiple
courageous individuals throughout the world. I have spent more than three years
writing and/or compiling most of the content. None of the other authors have
been asked to participate in this project due to practical and security reasons
but most of them have made their material available for distribution.
The needs of the many outweigh the
needs of the few. This is the reason why I have decided to allow the content of
this compendium to be freely redistributed and translated. Consider it my
personal gift and contribution to all Europeans. The sources are not embedded
into the document for this reason (easier to use and distribute the various
articles). However, it is required that the author(s) are credited when the
material is used.
As such, the intellectual property of this compendium belongs to all Europeans
across the European world and can be distributed and translated without
limitations. Efficient distribution and circulation will be possible if those
who agree with at least some of its content, principles or ideas contribute to
spread the information. If you are reading this you will know that many people
will be interested in obtaining the compendium (3 books). Let’s use this
momentum to our advantage as it will surely benefit our struggle.
I’m depending on you to distribute the book or some/all of its content to as
many patriotic European political activists as possible. Let them know what is
going on and what is required of each and every one of us. After all, we do not
only have a right to resist the current development, it is our duty as Europeans
to prevent the annihilation of our identities, our cultures and traditions and
our nation states! Please contribute to distribute the compendium to as many
patriotic minded Europeans as humanly possible in all 26 European countries.
This is only be the beginning…!
By including the “legal disclaimer” in ”Book 3;
” will allow everyone to distribute
the content without violating any European laws. If you are still in doubt feel
free to delete or change the wording in certain chapters before distribution.
Please help to make this book available through various torrents, blogs,
websites, on Facebook, on Twitter, on forums and through other arenas. It is
truly a one-of-a-kind, unique and great tool that can and should be used by all
cultural conservatives in the decades to come.
Priority objective - translating the book to German, French and Spanish.
I highly recommend that especially a French, German and Spanish patriot takes
responsibility and ensures that this compendium is either distributed and/or
translated to your respective language. It should be distributed to torrents,
websites, Facebook groups and other political groups where there are high
concentrations of cultural conservatives/nationalists/patriots. I have been
unsuccessful to efficiently distribute the compendium to especially French,
German and Spanish speaking individuals due to language barriers. It is
therefore essential that someone steps up and takes responsibility to distribute
it to as many as humanly possible. If you, yourself, are too busy, unavailable
or unable to contribute to help translate it, please do contact one of many
cultural conservative/nationalist intellectuals/writers/journalists in your
country. Contact individuals you know who are not afraid to operate outside the
boundaries of political correctness. We, the right wing Resistance Movements of
Europe depend on efficient re-distribution of this vital information included in
this compendium. The efficient distribution of this book to all nationalists of
Europe may significantly contribute to future regime shifts. Because within this
compendium lies the tools and knowledge on exactly how to replace our current
regimes. I really hope someone will accept this very important task and
contribute; because if you won’t, no one will...
Extracting info from the document or convert from a Word file to a PDF file
+ translation service
It’s easy to convert the document from a Word file to a PDF file or any other
format providing you have the Microsoft Word/Office software (preferably Word
2007 or newer). If you do not have this software you can either download the
free “Word Viewer” which allows you to view, print and copy Word documents, even
if you don’t have Word installed. Just do a search for the key word “Word
Viewer” at the following site:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads
or use the following direct download link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=3657ce88-7cfa-457a-9aec-f4f827f20cac
You can also just buy the full Office package or download a free trial from the
Microsoft site:
http://office.microsoft.com
or alternatively, go to one of the following torrent sites to download it for
free:
1. thepiratebay.org |
3. torrentreactor.net |
5. torrentz.com |
2. btscene.com |
4. extratorrent.com |
6. btmon.com |
You must first download a torrent application. The best torrent application
(uTorrent) can be downloaded here:
www.utorrent.com
If you want Word 2007 for longer than the 60 day trial it is likely you will
have to download a serial code which allows you to unlock the software
permanently or at least extend the trial period for 6-12 months.
I chose to send the compendium as a Word file for the following reason:
1.
MS Word is one of the most common and popular software formats
2.
Significantly easier to edit the document compared to PDF
3.
A Word file is significantly smaller than a PDF file (3,5 MB vs 8-10 MB)
4.
The quality of the images are conserved a lot better than in a PDF
5.
Distribution: it is easier to avoid spam filters with a file smaller than 5 MB
Since I have chosen to send the document in Word format you can easily extract
all information and the images from the Word file. I deliberately avoided
locking the document for this reason. If you want to extract the images from
word you can do the following:
1.
Simply open MS Paint (standard Windows program), copy the image from Word and
paste it in Paint. You then save the image in Paint as a jpg or any other
format.
It is easy to convert the file, if desired, to a PDF file or any other format.
Simply save the Word file as a PDF file. As for extraction from a PDF file;
several software programs including newer versions of Adobe Acrobat allow
conversion and extraction. Just google the word; “PDF to Word converter” or
download the following free converter software:
http://www.hellopdf.com/download.php
As for a free and powerful translator service; the google translation service
offers a powerful and relatively accurate tool:
http://translate.google.com
Display using kindle/nook/iPad
Kindle, nook or iPad
is a hardware platform (LCD board) very suitable for reading e-books and other
digital media. It costs as little as 100-200 USD on the second hand market.
Also, there are other hand held devices like iPhone. All you have to do is
select Word as input and kindle/nook/iPad/iPhone as output and transfer the
file.
Converting the Word file to paper
Successful self-publishers today leverage the benefits provided by
print-on-demand services, where they don’t need to waste money on printing costs
or on inventory and stocking fees.
A “print-on-demand” (POD) service, sometimes called publish-on-demand, is a
printing technology and business process in which new copies of a book are not
printed until an order has been received. Many traditional small presses have
replaced their traditional printing equipment with POD equipment or contract
their printing out to POD providers.
When customers order their books, self-publishing outlets like Cafepress.com and
others (see list) will print on-demand as many book as needed and they will also
ship them and get payments for them from those ordering.
These
self-publishing services accept uploaded digital content such as Word or PDF
files. However, due to the controversial nature of the content of this book, the
individual that makes the initial arrangement has to be careful and may need to
cut away certain chapters before using commercial services such as these.

Sacrifices made when creating the compendium
I’ve spent a total of 9 years of my life working on this project. The first five
years were spent studying and creating a financial base, and the last three
years was spent working full time with research, compilation and writing.
Creating this compendium has personally cost me a total of 317 000 Euros
(130 000 Euros spent from my own pocket and 187 500 Euros for loss of income
during three years). All that, however, is barely noticeable compared to the
sacrifices made in relation to the distribution of this book, the actual
marketing operation;)
The importance of spreading the truth and distribute sound strategies cannot be
underestimated as it is at the very core of our current resistance efforts. I do
hope you take the time to read it. Several aspects of the work is truly unique
and no similar compendium exists today. Don’t let the topics discussed in the
books startle you too much. Many of the topics may seem completely absurd or too
radical today, but in a couple of decades, you will start to understand its
relevancy to our struggle. Nevertheless, if the content freaks you out too much,
to a degree where you want to delete it, I would highly recommend you rather
save it on a USB flash drive (small memory chip) and place the chip in a safe
location. Because it is likely that you will want to read it at some point in
time. After all, we can only ignore central aspects of reality for so long.
I hope you enjoy this compendium. It currently offers the most comprehensive
database of solution oriented subjects. As mentioned, I only ask one thing from
you; that you distribute this book to your friends and ask them to forward it to
“their” friends, especially to individuals who have a patriotic mindset. Please
help us and help yourself, your family and friends by contributing to spread the
tools which will ensure our victory; for the truth must be known... It is not
only our right but also our duty to contribute to preserve our identity, our
culture and our national sovereignty by preventing the ongoing Islamisation.
There is no Resistance Movement if individuals like us refuse to contribute...
Multiculturalism (cultural Marxism/political correctness), as you might know, is
the root cause of the ongoing Islamisation of Europe which has resulted in the
ongoing Islamic colonisation of Europe through demographic warfare (facilitated
by our own leaders). This compendium presents the solutions and explains exactly
what is required of each and every one of us in the coming decades. Everyone can
and should contribute in one way or the other; it’s just a matter of will.
Time is of the essence. We have only a few decades to consolidate a sufficient
level of resistance before our major cities are completely demographically
overwhelmed by Muslims. Ensuring the successful distribution of this compendium
to as many Europeans as humanly possible will significantly contribute to our
success. It may be the only way to avoid our present and future dhimmitude
(enslavement) under Islamic majority rule in our own countries.
I have been unable to send this compendium to many people, for various reasons,
so I truly hope you will be willing to contribute.
It should be noted that English is my secondary language and due to certain
security precautions I was unable to have the documents professionally edited
and proof read. Needless to say, there is a potential for improving it
literarily. As such, consider it a ”first edition draft”. The responsibility
falls upon you now as I will, for obvious reasons, not be able to develop it any
further.
Any and all individuals with the appropriate skills are encouraged to contribute
to a second edition of this compendium by improving and expanding it where
needed.
Sincere and patriotic regards,

Introduction to the compendium - “2083” -
The introductory chapter explains how “cultural” Marxism gradually infiltrated
our post-WW2 societies. It is essential to understand how it started in order to
comprehend our current issues. The chapter was written for the US specifically
but applies to Western Europe as well.
One of conservatism’s most important insights is that all ideologies are wrong.
Ideology takes an intellectual system, a product of one or more philosophers,
and says, “This system must be true.” Inevitably, reality ends up contradicting
the system, usually on a growing number of points. But the ideology, by its
nature, cannot adjust to reality; to do so would be to abandon the system.
Therefore, reality must be suppressed. If the ideology has power, it uses its
power to undertake this suppression. It forbids writing or speaking certain
facts. Its goal is to prevent not only expression of thoughts that contradict
what “must be true,” but thinking such thoughts. In the end, the result is
inevitably the concentration camp, the gulag and the grave.
But what happens today to Europeans who suggest that there are differences among
ethnic groups, or that the traditional social roles of men and women reflect
their different natures, or that homosexuality is morally wrong? If they are
public figures, they must grovel in the dirt in endless, canting apologies. If
they are university students, they face star chamber courts and possible
expulsion. If they are employees of private corporations, they may face loss of
their jobs. What was their crime? Contradicting the new EUSSR ideology of
“Political Correctness.”
But what exactly is “Political Correctness?” Marxists have used the term for at
least 80 years, as a broad synonym for “the General Line of the Party.” It could
be said that Political Correctness is the General Line of the Establishment in
Western European countries today; certainly, no one who dares contradict it can
be a member of that Establishment. But that still does not tell us what it
really is.
We must seek to answer that question. The only way any ideology can be
understood, is by looking at its historical origins, its method of analysis and
several key components, including its place in higher education and its ties
with the Feminist movement.
If we expect to prevail and restore our countries to full freedom of thought and
expression, we need to know our enemy. We need to understand what Political
Correctness really is. As you will soon see, if we can expose the true origins
and nature of Political Correctness, we will have taken a giant step toward its
overthrow.
Most Europeans look back on the 1950s as a good time. Our homes were safe, to
the point where many people did not bother to lock their doors. Public schools
were generally excellent, and their problems were things like talking in class
and running in the halls. Most men treated women like ladies, and most ladies
devoted their time and effort to making good homes, rearing their children well
and helping their communities through volunteer work. Children grew up in
two–parent households, and the mother was there to meet the child when he came
home from school. Entertainment was something the whole family could enjoy.
What happened?
If a man of the 1950s were suddenly introduced into Western Europe in the 2000s,
he would hardly recognise it as the same country. He would be in immediate
danger of getting mugged, carjacked or worse, because he would not have learned
to live in constant fear. He would not know that he shouldn’t go into certain
parts of the city, that his car must not only be locked but equipped with an
alarm, that he dare not go to sleep at night without locking the windows and
bolting the doors – and setting the electronic security system.
If he brought his family with him, he and his wife would probably cheerfully
pack their children off to the nearest public school. When the children came
home in the afternoon and told them they had to go through a metal detector to
get in the building, had been given some funny white powder by another kid and
learned that homosexuality is normal and good, the parents would be
uncomprehending.
In the office, the man might light up a cigarette, drop a reference to the
“little lady,” and say he was happy to see the firm employing some coloured
folks in important positions. Any of those acts would earn a swift reprimand,
and together they might get him fired.
When she went into the city to shop, the wife would put on a nice suit, hat, and
possibly gloves. She would not understand why people stared, and mocked.
And when the whole family sat down after dinner and turned on the television,
they would not understand how pornography from some sleazy, blank-fronted
“Adults Only” kiosk had gotten on their set.
Were they able, our 1950s family would head back to the 1950s as fast as they
could, with a gripping horror story to tell. Their story would be of a nation
that had decayed and degenerated at a fantastic pace, moving in less than a half
a century from the greatest countries on earth to Third World nations, overrun
by crime, noise, drugs and dirt. The fall of Rome was graceful by comparison.
Why did it happen?
Over the last fifty years, Western Europe has been conquered by the same force
that earlier took over Russia, China, Germany and Italy. That force is ideology.
Here, as elsewhere, ideology has inflicted enormous damage on the traditional
culture it came to dominate, fracturing it everywhere and sweeping much of it
away. In its place came fear, and ruin. Russia will take a generation or more to
recover from Communism, if it ever can.
The ideology that has taken over Western Europe goes most commonly by the name
of “Political Correctness.” Some people see it as a joke. It is not. It is
deadly serious. It seeks to alter virtually all the rules, formal and informal,
that govern relations among people and institutions. It wants to change
behaviour, thought, even the words we use. To a significant extent, it already
has. Whoever or whatever controls language also controls thought. Who dares to
speak of “ladies” now?
Just what is “Political Correctness?” Political Correctness is in fact cultural
Marxism (Cultural Communism) – Marxism translated from economic into cultural
terms. The effort to translate Marxism from economics into culture did not begin
with the student rebellion of the 1960s. It goes back at least to the 1920s and
the writings of the Italian Communist Antonio Gramsci. In 1923, in Germany, a
group of Marxists founded an institute devoted to making the transition, the
Institute of Social Research (later known as the Frankfurt School). One of its
founders, George Lukacs, stated its purpose as answering the question, “Who
shall save us from Western Civilisation?” The Frankfurt School gained profound
influence in European and American universities after many of its leading lights
fled and spread all over Europe and even to the United States in the 1930s to
escape National Socialism in Germany. In Western Europe it gained influence in
universities from 1945.
The Frankfurt School blended Marx with Freud, and later influences (some Fascist
as well as Marxist) added linguistics to create “Critical Theory” and
“deconstruction.” These in turn greatly influenced education theory, and through
institutions of higher education gave birth to what we now call “Political
Correctness.” The lineage is clear, and it is traceable right back to Karl Marx.
The parallels between the old, economic Marxism and cultural Marxism are
evident. Cultural Marxism, or Political Correctness, shares with classical
Marxism the vision of a “classless society,” i.e., a society not merely of equal
opportunity, but equal condition. Since that vision contradicts human nature –
because people are different, they end up unequal, regardless of the starting
point – society will not accord with it unless forced. So, under both variants
of Marxism, it is forced. This is the first major parallel between classical and
cultural Marxism: both are totalitarian ideologies. The totalitarian nature of
Political Correctness can be seen on campuses where “PC” has taken over the
college: freedom of speech, of the press, and even of thought are all
eliminated.
The second major parallel is that both classical, economic Marxism and cultural
Marxism have single-factor explanations of history. Classical Marxism argues
that all of history was determined by ownership of the means of production.
Cultural Marxism says that history is wholly explained by which groups – defined
by sex, race, religion and sexual normality or abnormality – have power over
which other groups.
The third parallel is that both varieties of Marxism declare certain groups
virtuous and others evil a priori, that is, without regard for the actual
behaviour of individuals. Classical Marxism defines workers and peasants as
virtuous and the bourgeoisie (the middle class) and other owners of capital as
evil. Cultural Marxism defines all minorities, what they see as the victims;
Muslims, Feminist women, homosexuals and some additional minority groups as
virtuous and they view ethnic Christian European men as evil. (Cultural Marxism
does not recognise the existence of non-Feminist women, and defines Muslims,
Asians and Africans who reject Political Correctness as evil, just like native
Christian or even atheist Europeans.).
The fourth parallel is in means: expropriation. Economic Marxists, where they
obtained power, expropriated the property of the bourgeoisie and handed it to
the state, as the “representative” of the workers and the peasants. Cultural
Marxists, when they gain power (including through our own government), lay
penalties on native European men and others who disagree with them and give
privileges to the ”victim” groups they favour. Affirmative action is an example.
Finally, both varieties of Marxists employ a method of analysis designed to show
the correctness of their ideology in every situation. For classical Marxists,
the analysis is economic. For cultural Marxists, the analysis is linguistic:
deconstruction. Deconstruction “proves” that any “text,” past or present,
illustrates the oppression of Muslims, women, homosexuals, etc. by reading that
meaning into words of the text (regardless of their actual meaning). Both
methods are, of course, phony analyses that twist the evidence to fit
preordained conclusions, but they lend a ‘scientific” air to the ideology.
These parallels are neither remarkable nor coincidental. They exist because
Political Correctness is directly derived from classical Marxism, and is in fact
a variant of Marxism. Through most of the history of Marxism, cultural Marxists
were “read out” of the movement by classical, economic Marxists. Today, with
economic Marxism dead, cultural Marxism has filled its shoes. The medium has
changed, but the message is the same: a society of radical egalitarianism
enforced by the power of the state.
Political Correctness now looms over Western European society like a colossus.
It has taken over both political wings, left and right. Among so called Western
European ”conservative” parties the actual cultural conservatives are shown the
door because being a cultural conservative opposes the very essence of political
correctness. It controls the most powerful element in our culture, the media and
entertainment industry. It dominates both public and higher education: many a
college campus is a small, ivy-covered North Korea. It has even captured the
higher clergy in many Christian churches. Anyone in the Establishment who
departs from its dictates swiftly ceases to be a member of the Establishment.
The most vital question is: how can Western Europeans combat Political
Correctness and retake their society from the cultural Marxists?
It is not sufficient just to criticise Political Correctness. It tolerates a
certain amount of criticism, even gentle mocking. It does so through no genuine
tolerance for other points of view, but in order to disarm its opponents, to let
itself seem less menacing than it is. The cultural Marxists do not yet have
total power, and they are too wise to appear totalitarian until their victory is
assured.
Rather, those who would defeat cultural Marxism must defy it. They must use
words it forbids, and refuse to use the words it mandates; remember, sex is
better than gender. They must shout from the housetops the realities it seeks to
suppress, such as our opposition to Sharia on a national and local level, the
Islamisation of our countries, the facts that violent crime is
disproportionately committed by Muslims and that most cases of AIDS are
voluntary, i.e., acquired from immoral sexual acts. They must refuse to turn
their children over to public schools.
Above all, those who would defy Political Correctness must behave according to
the old rules of our culture, not the new rules the cultural Marxists lay down.
Ladies should be wives and homemakers, not cops or soldiers, and men should
still hold doors open for ladies. Children should not be born out of wedlock.
Glorification of homosexuality should be shunned. Jurors should not accept Islam
as an excuse for murder.
Defiance spreads. When other Western Europeans see one person defy Political
Correctness and survive – and you still can, for now – they are emboldened. They
are tempted to defy it, too, and some do. The ripples from a single act of
defiance, of one instance of walking up to the clay idol and breaking off its
nose, can range far. There is nothing the Politically Correct fear more than
open defiance, and for good reason; it is their chief vulnerability. That should
lead cultural conservatives to defy cultural Marxism at every turn.
While the hour is late, the battle is not decided. Very few Western Europeans
realise that Political Correctness is in fact Marxism in a different set of
clothes. As that realisation spreads, defiance will spread with it. At present,
Political Correctness prospers by disguising itself. Through defiance, and
through education on our own part (which should be part of every act of
defiance), we can strip away its camouflage and reveal the Marxism beneath the
window-dressing of “sensitivity,” “tolerance,” and “multiculturalism.”
Who dares, wins.
The
Historical Roots of “Political Correctness”
Western Europe is today dominated by an alien system of beliefs, attitudes and
values that we have come to know as “Political Correctness.” Political
Correctness seeks to impose a uniformity of thought and behaviour on all
Europeans and is therefore totalitarian in nature. Its roots lie in a version of
Marxism which seeks a radical inversion of the traditional culture in order to
create a social revolution.
Social revolution has a long history, conceivably going as far back as Plato’s
Republic. But it was the French Revolution of 1789 that inspired Karl Marx to
develop his theories in the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century, the
success of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 in Russia set off a wave of
optimistic expectation among the Marxist forces in Europe and America that the
new proletarian world of equality was finally coming into being. Russia, as the
first communist nation in the world, would lead the revolutionary forces to
victory.
The Marxist revolutionary forces in Europe leaped at this opportunity. Following
the end of World War I, there was a Communist “Spartacist” uprising in Berlin,
Germany led by Rosa Luxemburg; the creation of a “Soviet” in Bavaria led by Kurt
Eisner; and a Hungarian communist republic established by Bela Kun in 1919. At
the time, there was great concern that all of Europe might fall under the banner
of Bolshevism. This sense of impending doom was given vivid life by Trotsky’s
Red Army invasion of Poland in 1919.
However, the Red Army was defeated by Polish forces at the battle of the Vistula
in 1920. The Spartacist, Bavarian Soviet and Bela Kun governments all failed to
gain widespread support from the workers and after a brief time they were all
overthrown. These events created a quandary for the Marxist revolutionaries in
Europe. Under Marxist economic theory, the oppressed workers were supposed to be
the beneficiaries of a social revolution that would place them on top of the
power structure. When these revolutionary opportunities presented themselves,
however, the workers did not respond. The Marxist revolutionaries did not blame
their theory for these failures. They blamed the workers.
One group of Marxist intellectuals resolved their quandary by an analysis that
focused on society’s cultural “superstructure” rather than on the economic
substructures as Marx did. The Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci and Hungarian
Marxist Georg Lukacs contributed the most to this new cultural Marxism.
Antonio Gramsci worked for the Communist International during 1923-24 in Moscow
and Vienna. He was later imprisoned in one of Mussolini’s jails where he wrote
his famous “Prison Notebooks.” Among Marxists, Gramsci is noted for his theory
of cultural hegemony as the means to class dominance. In his view, a new
“Communist man” had to be created before any political revolution was possible.
This led to a focus on the efforts of intellectuals in the fields of education
and culture. Gramsci envisioned a long march through the society’s institutions,
including the government, the judiciary, the military, the schools and the
media. He also concluded that so long as the workers had a Christian soul, they
would not respond to revolutionary appeals.
Georg Lukacs was the son a wealthy Hungarian banker. Lukacs began his political
life as an agent of the Communist International. His book History and Class
Consciousness gained him recognition as the leading Marxist theorist since Karl
Marx. Lukacs believed that for a new Marxist culture to emerge, the existing
culture must be destroyed. He said, “I saw the revolutionary destruction of
society as the one and only solution to the cultural contradictions of the
epoch,” and, “Such a worldwide overturning of values cannot take place without
the annihilation of the old values and the creation of new ones by the
revolutionaries.”
When he became Deputy Commissar for Culture in the Bolshevik Bela Kun regime in
Hungary in 1919, Lukacs launched what became known as “Cultural Terrorism.” As
part of this terrorism he instituted a radical sex education program in
Hungarian schools. Hungarian children were instructed in free love, sexual
intercourse, the archaic nature of middle-class family codes, the out-datedness
of monogamy, and the irrelevance of religion, which deprives man of all
pleasures. Women, too, were called to rebel against the sexual mores of the
time. Lukacs’s campaign of “Cultural Terrorism” was a precursor to what
Political Correctness would later bring to Western European schools.
In 1923, Lukacs and other Marxist intellectuals associated with the Communist
Party of Germany founded the Institute of Social Research at Frankfurt
University in Frankfurt, Germany. The Institute, which became known as the
Frankfurt School, was modelled after the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow. In
1933, when Nazis came to power in Germany, the members of the Frankfurt School
fled. Most came to the United States.
The members of the Frankfurt School conducted numerous studies on the beliefs,
attitudes and values they believed lay behind the rise of National Socialism in
Germany. The Frankfurt School’s studies combined Marxist analysis with Freudian
psychoanalysis to criticise the bases of Western culture, including
Christianity, capitalism, authority, the family, patriarchy, hierarchy,
morality, tradition, sexual restraint, loyalty, patriotism, nationalism,
heredity, ethnocentrism, convention and conservatism. These criticisms, known
collectively as Critical Theory, were reflected in such works of the Frankfurt
School as Erich Fromm’s Escape from Freedom and The Dogma of Christ, Wilhelm’s
Reich’s The Mass Psychology of Fascism and Theodor Adorno’s The Authoritarian
Personality.
The Authoritarian Personality, published in 1950, substantially influenced
Western European psychologists and social scientists. The book was premised on
one basic idea, that the presence in a society of Christianity, capitalism, and
the patriarchal-authoritarian family created a character prone to racial and
religious prejudice and German fascism. The Authoritarian Personality became a
handbook for a national campaign against any kind of prejudice or discrimination
on the theory that if these evils were not eradicated, another Holocaust might
occur on the European continent. This campaign, in turn, provided a basis for
Political Correctness.
Critical Theory incorporated sub-theories which were intended to chip away at
specific elements of the existing culture, including “matriarchal theory,”
“androgyny theory,” “personality theory,” “authority theory,” “family theory,”
“sexuality theory,” “racial theory,” “legal theory,” and “literary theory.” Put
into practice, these theories were to be used to overthrow the prevailing social
order and usher in social revolution.
To achieve this, the Critical Theorists of the Frankfurt School recognised that
traditional beliefs and the existing social structure would have to be destroyed
and then replaced. The patriarchal social structure would be replaced with
matriarchy; the belief that men and women are different and properly have
different roles would be replaced with androgyny; and the belief that
heterosexuality is normal would be replaced with the belief that homosexuality
is equally “normal.”
As a grand scheme intended to deny the intrinsic worth of native Christian
European, heterosexual males, the Critical Theorists of the Frankfurt School
opened the door to the racial and sexual antagonisms of the Trotskyites. Many
believed that oppressed Muslims, non European minorities and others like
Feminists and Homosexuals could be the vanguard of a communist revolution in
Europe.
Trotsky’s ideas were adopted by many of the student leaders of the 1960s
counterculture movement, who attempted to elevate minority revolutionaries to
positions of leadership in their movement.
The student revolutionaries were also strongly influenced by the ideas of
Herbert Marcuse, another member of the Frankfurt School. Marcuse preached the
“Great Refusal,” a rejection of all basic Western concepts, sexual liberation
and the merits of feminist and black revolution. His primary thesis was that
university students, ghetto blacks, the alienated, the asocial, and the Third
World could take the place of the proletariat in the Communist revolution. In
his book An Essay on Liberation, Marcuse proclaimed his goals of a radical
transvaluation of values; the relaxation of taboos; cultural subversion;
Critical Theory; and a linguistic rebellion that would amount to a methodical
reversal of meaning. As for racial conflict, Marcuse wrote that white men are
guilty and that blacks are the most natural force of rebellion.
Marcuse may be the most important member of the Frankfurt School in terms of the
origins of Political Correctness, because he was the critical link to the
counterculture of the 1960s. His objective was clear: “One can rightfully speak
of a cultural revolution, since the protest is directed toward the whole
cultural establishment, including morality of existing society…” His means was
liberating the powerful, primeval force of sex from its civilised restraints, a
message preached in his book, Eros and Civilisation, published in 1955. Marcuse
became one of the main gurus of the 1960s adolescent sexual rebellion; he
himself coined the expression, “make love, not war.” With that role, the chain
of Marxist influence via the Frankfurt School was completed: from Lukacs’
service as Deputy Commissar for Culture in the Bolshevik Hungarian government in
1919 to Western European and American students burning the flag and taking over
college administration buildings in the 1960s. Today, many of these same
colleges are bastions of Political Correctness, and the former student radicals
have become the faculties.
One of the most important contributors to Political Correctness was Betty
Friedan. Through her book The Feminine Mystique, Friedantied Feminism to Abraham
Maslow’s theory of self-actualisation. Maslow was a social psychologist who in
his early years did research on female dominance and sexuality. Maslow was a
friend of Herbert Marcuse at Brandeis University and had met Erich Fromm in
1936. He was strongly impressed by Fromm’s Frankfurt School ideology. He wrote
an article, “The Authoritarian Character Structure,” published in 1944, that
reflected the personality theory of Critical Theory. Maslow was also impressed
with the work of Wilhelm Reich, who was another Frankfurt School originator of
personality theory.
The significance of the historical roots of Political Correctness cannot be
fully appreciated unless Betty Friedan’s revolution in sex roles is viewed for
what it really was – a manifestation of the social revolutionary process begun
by Karl Marx. Friedan’s reliance on Abraham Maslow’s reflection of Frankfurt
School ideology is only one indicator. Other indicators include the
correspondence of Friedan’s revolution in sex roles with Georg Lukacs’
annihilation of old values and the creation of new ones, and with Herbert
Marcuse’s transvaluation of values. But the idea of transforming a patriarchy
into a matriarchy – which is what a sex-role inversion is designed to do – can
be connected directly to Friedrich Engels book The Origin of the Family, Private
Property, and the State. First published in 1884, this book popularised the
now-accepted feminist belief that deep-rooted discrimination against the
oppressed female sex was a function of patriarchy. The belief that matriarchy
was the solution to patriarchy flows from Marx’s comments in The German
Ideology, published in 1845. In this work Marx advanced the idea that wives and
children were the first property of the patriarchal male. The Frankfurt School’s
matriarchal theory and its near-relation, androgyny theory, both originated from
these sources.
When addressing the general public, advocates of Political Correctness – or
cultural Marxism, to give it its true name – present their beliefs attractively.
It’s all just a matter of being “sensitive” to other people, they say. They use
words such as “tolerance” and “diversity,” asking, “Why can’t we all just get
along?”
The reality is different. Political Correctness is not at all about “being
nice,” unless one thinks gulags are nice places. Political Correctness is
Marxism, with all that implies: loss of freedom of expression, thought control,
inversion of the traditional social order, and, ultimately, a totalitarian
state. If anything, the cultural Marxism created by the Frankfurt School is more
horrifying than the old, economic Marxism that ruined Russia. At least the
economic Marxists did not exalt sexual perversion and attempt to create a
matriarchy, as the Frankfurt School and its descendants have done.
This short essay has sought to show one critical linkage, that between classical
Marxism and the ingredients of the “cultural revolution” that broke out in
Western Europe in the 1960s. Of course, the action does not stop in the ‘60s;
the workings of the Frankfurt School are yet very much with us, especially in
the field of education. That topic, and other present-day effects of Frankfurt
School thinking, will be further analysed.
Georg Lukacs
• He began his political life as a Kremlin agent of the Communist International.
• His History and Class-Consciousness gained him recognition as the leading
Marxist theorist since Karl Marx.
• In 1919 he became the Deputy Commissar for Culture in the Bolshevik Bela Kun
Regime in Hungary. He instigated what become known as “Cultural Terrorism.”
• Cultural Terrorism was a precursor of what was to happen in European and
American schools.
• He launched an “explosive” sex education program. Special lectures were
organised in Hungarian schools and literature was printed and distributed to
instruct children about free love, the nature of sexual intercourse, the archaic
nature of the bourgeois family codes, the outdatedness of monogamy, and the
irrelevance of religion, which deprives man of all pleasure. Children were urged
to reject and deride paternal authority and the authority of the Church, and to
ignore precepts of morality. They were easily and spontaneously turned into
delinquents with whom only the police could cope. This call to rebellion
addressed to Hungarian children was matched by a call to rebellion addressed to
Hungarian women.
• In rejecting the idea that Bolshevism spelled the destruction of civilisation
and culture, Lukacs stated: “Such a worldwide overturning of values cannot take
place without the annihilation of the old values and the creation of new ones by
the revolutionaries.”
• Lukacs’ state of mind was expressed in his own words:
- “All the social forces I had hated since my youth, and which I aimed in spirit
to annihilate, now came together to unleash the First Global War.”
- “I saw the revolutionary destruction of society as the one and only solution
to the cultural contradictions of the speech.”
- “The question is: Who will free us from the yoke of Western Civilisation?”
- “Any political movement capable of bringing Bolshevism to the West would have
to be ‘Demonic’.”
- “The abandonment of the soul’s uniqueness solves the problem of ‘unleashing’
the diabolic forces lurking in all the violence which is needed to create
revolution.”
• Lukacs’ state of mind was typical of those who represented the forces of
Revolutionary Marxism.
• At a secret meeting in Germany in 1923, Lukacs proposed the concept of
inducing “Cultural Pessimism” in order to increase the state of hopelessness and
alienation in the people of the West as a necessary prerequisite for revolution.
• This meeting led to the founding of the Institute for Social Research at
Frankfurt University in Germany in 1923 – an organisation of Marxist and
Communist-oriented psychologists, sociologists and other intellectuals that came
to be known as the Frankfurt School, which devoted itself to implementing Georg
Lukacs’s program.
Antonio Gramsci
• He was an Italian Marxist on an intellectual par with Georg Lukacs who arrived
by analysis at the same conclusions as Lukacs and the Frankfurt School regarding
the critical importance of intellectuals in fomenting revolution in the West.
• He had travelled to the Soviet Union after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917
and made some accurate observations that caused him to conclude that a
Bolshevik-style uprising could not be brought about by Western workers due to
the nature of their Christian souls.
• Antonio Gramsci became the leader of the Italian Communist Party, which earned
him a place in one of Mussolini’s jails in the 1930s, where he wrote Prison
Notebooks and other documents.
• These works became available in English to Brits and Americans.
• His advice to the intellectuals was to begin a long march through the
educational and cultural institutions of the nation in order to create a new
Soviet man before there could be a successful political revolution.
• This reflected his observations in the Soviet Union that its leaders could not
create such a new Soviet man after the Bolshevik Revolution.
• This blueprint for mind and character change made Gramsci a hero of
Revolutionary Marxism in American education and paved the way for creation of
the New American Child in the schools by the education cartel.
• The essential nature of Antonio Gramsci’s revolutionary strategy is reflected
in Charles A. Reich’s The Greening of America: “There is a revolution coming. It
will not be like revolutions in the past. It will originate with the individual
and the culture, and it will change the political structure as its final act. It
will not require violence to succeed, and it cannot be successfully resisted by
violence. This is revolution of the New Generation.”
Wilhelm Reich
• In his 1933 book entitled The Mass Psychology of Fascism, he explained that
the Frankfurt School departed from the Marxist sociology that set “Bourgeois”
against “Proletariat.” Instead, the battle would be between “reactionary” and
“revolutionary” characters.
• He also wrote a book entitled The Sexual Revolution which was a precursor of
what was to come in the 1960s.
• His “sex-economic” sociology was an effort to harmonise Freud’s psychology
with Marx’s economic theory.
• Reich’s theory was expressed in his words: “The authoritarian family is the
authoritarian state in miniature. Man’s authoritarian character structure is
basically produced by the embedding of sexual inhibitions and fear in the living
substance of sexual impulses. Familial imperialism is ideologically reproduced
in national imperialism…the authoritarian family…is a factory where reactionary
ideology and reactionary structures are produced.”
• Wilhelm Reich’s theory, when coupled with Georg Lukacs’ sex education in
Hungary, can be seen as the source for the American education cartel’s
insistence on sex education from kindergarten onwards and its complete negation
of the paternal family, external authority, and the traditional character
structure.
• Reich’s theory encompassed other assertions that seem to have permeated
American education:
- The organised religious mysticism of Christianity was an element of the
authoritarian family that led to Fascism.
- The patriarchal power in and outside of man was to be dethroned.
- Revolutionary sexual politics would mean the complete collapse of
authoritarian ideology.
- Birth control was revolutionary ideology.
- Man was fundamentally a sexual animal.
• Reich’s The Mass Psychology of Fascism was in its ninth printing as of 1991
and is available in most college bookstores.
Erich Fromm
• Like Wilhelm Reich, Fromm was a social psychologist of the Frankfurt School
who came to America in the 1930s.
• His book Escape from Freedom, published in 1941, is an ideological companion
to Wilhelm Reich’s The Mass Psychology of Fascism.
• Fromm asserted that early capitalism created a social order that resulted in
Calvin’s Theory of Predestination, which reflected the principle of the basic
inequality of men which was revived in Nazi ideology.
• He asserted the authoritarian character experiences only domination or
submission and “differences, whether sex or race, to him are necessarily of
superiority or inferiority.”
• He asserted that “Positive Freedom” implies the principle that there is no
higher power than the unique individual self; that man is the center and purpose
of life; that the growth and realisation of man’s individuality is an end that
can be subordinated to purposes which are supposed to have a greater dignity.
• Fromm made the real meaning of this “Positive Freedom” clear in another of his
many books – The Dogma of Christ - wherein he describes a revolutionary
character such as himself as the man who has emancipated himself from the ties
of blood and soil, from his mother and father, and from special loyalties to
state, race, party or religion.
• Fromm makes his revolutionary intent very clear in The Dogma of Christ...”We
might define revolution in a psychological sense, saying that a revolution is a
political movement led by people with revolutionary characters, and attracting
people with revolutionary characters.”
Herbert Marcuse
• Like Wilhelm Reich and Erich Fromm, Marcuse was an intellectual of the
Frankfurt School who came to America in the 1930s.
• He has often been described as a Marxist philosopher, but he was in fact a
full-blooded social revolutionary who contemplated the disintegration of Western
European and American society just as Karl Marx and Georg Lukacs contemplated
the disintegration of German society: “One can rightfully speak of a cultural
revolution, since the protest is directed toward the whole cultural
establishment, including the morality of existing society…there is one thing we
can say with complete assurance: the traditional idea of revolution and the
traditional strategy of revolution has ended. These ideas are old-fashioned…What
we must undertake is a type of diffuse and dispersed disintegration of the
system.”
• Marcuse published Eros and Civilisation in 1955, which became the founding
document of the 1960s counterculture and brought the Frankfurt School into the
colleges and universities of Western Europe and America.
• He asserted that the only way to escape the one-dimensionality of modern
industrial society was to liberate the erotic side of man, the sensuous
instinct, in rebellion against “technological rationality.”
• This erotic liberation was to take the form of the “Great Refusal,” a total
rejection of the capitalist monster and its entire works, including
technological reason and ritual-authoritarian language.
• He provided the needed intellectual justifications for adolescent sexual
rebellion and the slogan “Make Love, Not War.”
• His theory included the belief that the Women’s Liberation Movement was to be
the most important component of the opposition, and potentially the most
radical.
• His revolutionary efforts would blossom into a full-scale war by revolutionary
Marxism against the European white male in the schools and colleges.
Theodor Adorno
• He was another Marxist revolutionary and a member of the Frankfurt School who
came to America in the 1930s.
• Along with others, Adorno authored The Authoritarian Personality, which was
published in 1950.
• Adorno’s book was inspired by the same kind of theoretical assertions revealed
in the works of Wilhelm Reich, Erich Fromm, and Herbert Marcuse based on
analytical studies of German society that were begun in 1923.
• The basic theme was the same. There was such a thing as an authoritarian
character that was the opposite of the desired revolutionary character. This
authoritarian character was a product of capitalism, Christianity, conservatism,
the patriarchal family and sexual repression. In Germany, this combination
induced prejudice, anti-Semitism and fascism according to Frankfurt School
theory.
• It so happened that most Western Europeans and Americans were products of
capitalism, Christianity, conservatism, the patriarchal family, and sexual
repression in their youth. So Theodor Adorno and other members of the Frankfurt
School had a golden opportunity to execute Georg Lukacs’ and Antonio Gramsci’s
program for creating social revolution in Western Europe and America instead of
Germany.
• They would posit the existence of authoritarian personalities among Western
Europeans and Americans with tendencies toward prejudice, and then exploit this
to force the “scientifically planned re-education” of Western Europeans and
Americans with the excuse that it was being done in order to eradicate
prejudice.
• This scientifically-planned re-education would become the master plan for the
transformation of Europe’s and America’s system of fundamental values into their
opposite revolutionary values in European education so that school children
would become replicas of the Frankfurt School revolutionary characters and thus
create the New Western Child.
• This can be confirmed by noting that The Authoritarian Personality is the key
source of the affective domain of Benjamin Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational
Objectives of 1964, which guided the education cartel thereafter.
Political
Correctness in Higher Education
On a growing number of university campuses the freedom to articulate and discuss
ideas – a principle that has been the cornerstone of higher education since the
time of Socrates – is eroding at an alarming rate. Consider just one increasing
trend: hundreds (sometimes thousands) of copies of conservative student
newspapers have been either stolen or publicly burned by student radicals. In
many cases these acts have taken place with the tacit support of faculty and
administrators. The perpetrators are rarely disciplined.
While it would be easy to dismiss such demonstrations of tolerance as student
pranks, these incidents are the surface manifestations of a more pervasive and
insidious trend – a trend that has as its goal the destruction of the liberal
arts tradition that has helped create and sustain Western civilisation.
Though some pundits have claimed that the prevalence of the ideological
intolerance known as political correctness has been exaggerated, the opposite is
closer to the truth. Political correctness has become so deeply ingrained in
Western European and American higher education that many campuses are now
dominated by an atmosphere of uncertainty and apprehension. An increasing number
of dedicated students and faculty members now live in fear that their
intellectual pursuit of truth will offend the Grand Inquisitors of political
correctness.
The techniques of political correctness are now well known: attacks on the
curriculum in the name of “multiculturalism,” the imposition of restrictive and
vaguely-worded “speech codes,” and mandatory “sensitivity training” courses for
juniors that are little more than systematic efforts at ideological
indoctrination. But the influence of political correctness has spread in other
disturbing ways.
The Origins of Political Correctness in Higher Education
While the ideology of political correctness is hardly restricted to our
campuses, there is no doubt it originated there. The intellectual roots of this
phenomenon stretch back over centuries. Ultimately, the origins of PC can be
traced to the rise of modern ideology and its quest for power. In contrast to
the classical and Judeo-Christian traditions, which stressed man’s need to
understand the moral order and conform himself to it, modern ideologies have
sought to dominate and control the world. In the twentieth century these
ideologies gained political power in Communist states.
But in the West, ideology has not been able to make such a direct assault on our
traditions of ordered liberty. Rather, radical intellectuals have sought to
undermine the foundations of knowledge itself, concentrating their efforts on
the transformation of the university.
The turning point in the academy came in the 1960s, when militant students
launched a guerrilla attack on the traditions of Western culture and the liberal
arts. Seeing that they could not gain lasting power through demonstrations
alone, many of these militants opted to remain “in the system,” going on to
become professors themselves. This generation of “Cultural Marxist radicals” has
now become the establishment in the vast majority of our institutions of higher
learning. As university head masters, deans, and department chairmen, they have
set about hiring other ideologues in their own image and have instigated the
repressive policies we know as political correctness. These politicised
academics will be extremely difficult to dislodge from their current positions
of power.
Ideology vs. Liberal Education
The stakes in this war of ideas are high, for they include the very concept of
freedom itself. Western Europeans and Americans have always understood the
intimate and vital connection between liberal education and political liberty.
That is why political correctness is nothing less than a death blow aimed at the
heart of our countries.
In his seminal book The Idea of a University, Cardinal John Henry Newman defined
the “liberal arts” as a pursuit of knowledge for its own sake. By way of
contrast, he defined the “servile arts” as those modes of study that serve only
specific, immediate ends. The liberal arts are liberating, Newman argued,
because they enable men to discover the underlying principles that guide us
toward wisdom and virtue.
Were he alive today, Newman would view political correctness as “servile”
because its purpose is to advance a political agenda to a position of national
power. Militant professors in increasing numbers are shamelessly turning their
podiums into pulpits, abandoning the search for objective truth and setting
about the task of indoctrinating their students.
The Devastated Curriculum
The proponents of political correctness have concentrated their efforts on the
core of a liberal education, the curriculum. Their efforts will radically alter
what new generations of Western Europeans and Americans will learn. In this
battle the handmaiden of political correctness has been the “multicultural”
movement. A number of critics have rightly pointed out that multiculturalism is
more than an argument for courses that concentrate on groups that at one time
were disadvantaged or oppressed. Rather, multiculturalism involves the
systematic restructuring of the curriculum so as to hinder students from
learning about the Western tradition. Since the ulterior motive behind political
correctness is an attempt to restructure Western European and American society
along egalitarian lines, it is imperative for its proponents to instill in the
minds of students a thoroughgoing cultural relativism.
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the politically correct assault on the
curriculum is that it has occurred at many of our elite universities. Take, for
example, the case of Stanford University, an institution that has long played a
leadership role in American higher education. Stanford eliminated its
long-standing Western civilisation requirement in 1988 and replaced it with a
multicultural program known as “Cultures, Ideas, and Values.” Under this new
program freshmen at Stanford can just as easily study Marxist revolutionaries in
Central America as they can Plato, Shakespeare, or Newton.
Stanford has also led the movement away from serious study of history. Students
at Stanford, like students at all but one of the other top 50 universities in
the United States, are not required to take a single course in history. Instead,
they are offered a choice of courses under the heading of “American Cultures.”
According to one recent graduate at Stanford, it is impossible to fulfill the
“American Cultures” requirement by studying Protestantism, Irish Americans, or
the American West, while courses that do fulfill the requirement include “Film
and Literature: US-Mexico Border Representations” and “Contemporary Ethnic
Drama.” Stanford students must also take courses in “World Cultures” and “Gender
Studies” that include “Chicana Expressive Culture” and “Misogyny and Feminism in
the Renaissance.”
Because elite institutions such as Stanford set an example for the rest of
American and European higher education, other universities eagerly adopt these
devastating assaults on the curriculum. This “trickle-down” effect will have a
long-lasting impact on the way future generations of Western Europeans and
Americans will be educated.
Intolerance and the Assault on Freedom
The two pillars that have traditionally sustained the liberal arts are academic
freedom and freedom of speech. Without the freedom to pursue the truth and to
write and speak freely, authentic scholarship is impossible. But both of these
fundamental freedoms have been routinely abrogated by the establishment of
speech codes, “sensitivity” classes, and a general atmosphere of fear and
intimidation on campus.
For example, younger professors who have not received tenure must not only be
careful of what they say, but of what they publish. Ideological university
administrators in the 1990s have created an environment dominated by suspicion
that is far more intense than anything spawned by anti-Communist Senator Joseph
McCarthy in the 1950s.
The most tragic victims of this age of political correctness are the students.
The traditional goal of a liberal arts education – acculturation, whereby
students absorb the inherited wisdom of the past – has been set aside.
Increasingly, a university education today seems to involve political
indoctrination. When all is said and done, political correctness substitutes
smug feelings of righteousness for the traditional habits of critical thinking.
One distinguished scholar recently lamented that “higher education is
increasingly about acquiring attitudes and opinions that one puts on like a
uniform.”
Because the academy is a relatively isolated world, it can allow politicised
administrators to turn the campus into a laboratory for experiments in social
transformation. When critics of political correctness have compared the
atmosphere on campus to that of a totalitarian state, liberal pundits have been
quick to denounce them as hysterical. Few of these pundits have any first-hand
experience of daily life on campus.
Despite the institutional power of the campus radicals, forces are at work
seeking to spur authentic academic reform. The academic reform movement relies
on the principles of accountability, communication, and a commitment to
authentic scholarship. One force of academic reform is a growing demand among
parents for greater accountability from colleges and universities. At a time
when studies show that students are paying more and learning less than ever
before, parents in increasing numbers are becoming discriminating consumers.
Another force is independent student newspapers whose journalists publicise the
antics of political correctness on campus. In many universities, campus radicals
are still unchallenged in the enclosed world of the university.
However, there are alternatives. Alternative student organisations have
identified abuses at all levels of academic life and engaged in investigative
journalism that has been remarkably fair and accurate. Perhaps the most
well-known “scoop” came from Yale University’s alternative paper, Light & Truth,
a publication supported by the Collegiate Network. The editors of Light & Truth
discovered that the $20 million gift of alumnus Lee Bass was not being used for
its intended purpose of supporting an integrated course in Western civilisation.
Their report broke open the scandal, which ended when Yale returned Mr. Bass’s
money. The subsequent furor cost Yale a great deal more than Mr. Bass’s $20
million – both in monetary terms and in the loss of confidence of many Yale
donors that the current administration can be trusted.
Not all the scandals uncovered by alternative campus papers are of this
magnitude, but there are innumerable abuses that can be exposed by investigative
student journalism. The law school at the University of North Carolina, Chapel
Hill, banned representatives of the U.S. military from setting up recruiting
tables there, despite receiving federal tax dollars from the Defence Department.
An article about this outrageous assault on freedom that ran in both the
student-run Carolina Review and in the national student newspaper published by
ISI, CAMPUS, raised a hue and cry on and off campus. North Carolina legislators
took immediate action and passed a bill prohibiting taxpayer-supported schools
from discriminating against the military when prospective employers come to the
university.
At the University of Wisconsin, Madison, the UWM Times, a conservative student
newspaper, revealed that a university administrator had been soliciting
signatures for local Democrat candidates for public office, in direct violation
of a state law forbidding university employees from engaging in political
campaigning. The university refused to reprimand the administrator in question –
perhaps because the chancellor himself violated both the state law and his own
directive by signing one of the petitions while at work. The story was picked up
by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and the abuse was brought to an end.
Now that alternative newspapers and organisations dedicated to academic reform
are spreading the word, the larger communities that surround our institutions of
higher education are getting more involved in serious academic reform. For
example, the National Association of Scholars is encouraging university trustees
to take a more active and vocal role in opposing the excesses of political
correctness. Efforts of this type must be expanded and intensified.
In the long run, the most direct method of defeating the inquisitors of
political correctness is simply to stand up to them. Individual acts of defiance
often entail serious risks: students can face star-chamber proceedings that are
humiliating and demoralising while faculty can lose their bids to receive
tenure. But every act of resistance causes a ripple, encouraging others to stand
up to ideological intimidation. With the support of a significant number of
parents, donors, and alumni, these David’s may yet slay the Goliaths who tower
over them.
The Fire of True-Learning
Perhaps the strongest force for true academic reform is that which seeks to
defeat the ideological depredations of political correctness by winning the war
of ideas. Moreover, some colleges and universities continue to swim against the
ideological tides of our time.
One of Edmund Burke’s most famous sayings is that “the only thing necessary for
the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” For generations, Western
Europeans and Americans have treated higher education with awe – a token of
their faith in the liberating power of the liberal arts. But in the face of
political correctness, it is time for the Western European and American public
to temper its respect with a critical sensibility, and to undertake a more
direct effort to call academia to account. It is time for good men and women to
demand that Western European higher education live up to its best traditions and
eschew the tyranny of political correctness.
Literature is, if not the most important cultural indicator, at least a
significant benchmark of a society’s level of civilisation. Our nature and
environment combine to form each individual mind, which in turn expresses itself
in words. Literature, as the words society collectively holds up as exemplary,
is then a starting point of sorts – a window into the culture.
Today’s literary field is therefore worth examining for the insights it provides
into our current cultural milieu. The contemporary Western European and American
literary field is awash in “isms:” Marxism, Freudianism, feminism, and so on.
Most of these are the academic cousins of what is called in the common culture
“Political Correctness.” Literary theorists take their particular brand of
criticism and apply it to literature in an effort to find self-affirmation in a
“discovered” meaning of the text. For a feminist critic, for example, no longer
does Andrew Marvel’s “Upon Appleton House” have the beauty of the grounds as its
theme; it speaks instead of the evils of a patriarchal line of inheritance.
These “cultural critics,” so named because they critique literature based on the
point of view of a particular culture, arose in the 1960s, but their schools of
criticism only truly began to pick up steam with the arrival of the school of
deconstruction in the 1970s.
The works of the father of deconstruction, Jacques Derrida, began to be
translated from the French by American professor Gayatri Spivak in the
mid-1970s, a time when the U.S. literary scene was ripe for its influence. The
economic Marxists were alive and well on Western European and American campuses,
and the cultural critics were still being fed by the radicalism of the times.
Feminists had gained a foothold in the earlier decade, but they had in their
meagre arsenals only a vague feeling of repression. What they lacked was
philosophical backing – the courage prompted by having their own logos. The
arrival of deconstruction from France provided that philosophy.
At that time, that generation of academics was doing what all academics do,
telling the previous generation that it had it all wrong. In this case the
rebellion was against the New Critics – so-called even now, decades after their
prime. The New Critics specialised in finding the meaning of texts without
regard to background information such as authorial intent, a process that had
“the text is everything” as its guiding principle.
The new generation of critics set out to turn that principle on its head.
Instead of “the text is everything,” the new generation claimed that “everything
is text” and turned to analysing anything and everything in relation to the
literary work. If a poet wrote a poem that included a female character, the
critics would look into the poet’s relationship with his mother, his wife, his
sister and so on in an effort to offer up an interpretation of the work. This
could have (and often did have) the positive effect of using biographic
information to gain new understanding of the work; however, these new
interpretations were not attempts to discern the true meaning of the work (as
the New Critics had done) or even to discover the author’s intended meaning (as
traditional readings attempted). This new generation of critics instead became
prime practitioners of what is known in literary circles as “cultural
criticism.” They strained to view literature from the “woman’s point of view” or
the “victims” or the “radical minority point of view.” Their attempts were not
to find meaning – they were influenced too greatly by relativists for that – but
to find sexism, racism or “homophobia” in the works of male, European or
heterosexual authors.
Derridean deconstruction became a tool for these cultural critics. Simply
stated, deconstruction is a school of thought that posits that words have no
meaning. Instead, words have “traces” of meaning. The meaning of a word is
continually disappearing, leaving us with only the memory, or trace, of what
that meaning once was.
Once they realised the power of this school of thought, the cultural critics
embraced it readily, for here they discovered a method of attack on the
traditional interpretations of literary works. They used deconstruction to
remove traditional meaning and replaced it with new meaning. That meaning was
the Political Correctness that infests our society today. For example, after the
traditional meaning of “How Do I Love Thee?” has been destabilised in the
process described above, a feminist critic might come along and - in the absence
of a stable traditional interpretation – declare that the poem is “really”
concerned with how women in nineteenth-century England were conditioned to see
themselves as secondary to men.
The intelligentsia had forgotten its literature in its haste to promote its
politics.
Unfortunately, that has not stopped the cultural critics from indoctrinating
this new generation in feminist interpretation, Marxist philosophy and so-called
“queer theory.” Requirements for reading Shakespeare, Milton, Chaucer, and other
dead white males are disappearing, to be replaced by options to take studies in
“The Roles of Women in the Renaissance” (an excuse to lament the sexism of the
past) or “The Bible as Literature” (a course designed to denigrate the Bible as
cleverly crafted fiction instead of God’s truth).
The reliable saviour of the intelligentsia is the common man and his common
sense. Common sense dictates that words do mean things, and as deconstruction
posits otherwise it will be relegated to the margins of society. Sadly, its
effects will linger on – it has given a sense of validity to cultural criticism
and established a marketplace for its ideas.
Perhaps no aspect of Political Correctness is more prominent in Western European
life today than feminist ideology. Is feminism, like the rest of Political
Correctness, based on the cultural Marxism imported from Germany in the 1930s?
While feminism’s history in Western Europe certainly extends longer than sixty
years, its flowering in recent decades has been interwoven with the unfolding
social revolution carried forward by cultural Marxists.
Where do we see radical feminism ascendant? It is on television, where nearly
every major offering has a female “power figure” and the plots and characters
emphasise inferiority of the male and superiority of the female. It is in the
military, where expanding opportunity for women, even in combat positions, has
been accompanied by double standards and then lowered standards, as well as by a
decline in enlistment of young men, while “warriors” in the services are leaving
in droves. It is in government-mandated employment preferences and practices
that benefit women and use “sexual harassment” charges to keep men in line. It
is in colleges where women’s gender studies proliferate and “affirmative action”
is applied in admissions and employment. It is in other employment, public and
private, where in addition to affirmative action, “sensitivity training” is
given unprecedented time and attention. It is in public schools, where “self
awareness” and “self-esteem” are increasingly promoted while academic learning
declines. And sadly, we see that several European countries allow and fund free
distribution of contraceptive pills combined with liberal abortion policies.
While the radical feminist movement is embraced by present day Political
Correctness ideology, derived from cultural Marxism, feminism as such does have
earlier roots. Feminism was conceived and birthed in the 1830s, in the
generation experiencing the first stage of the industrial revolution. Women, who
for centuries had shared the challenges of surviving in an agrarian life, were
becoming part of a middle-class gentry with more time and energy to spend
writing newspaper articles and novels for their “sisters.” The initial stages of
the feminisation of European culture had started.
These feminists, radical in their time, supported women’s rights,
egalitarianism, anti-colonialism, pacifism and other causes which we now observe
in popular culture. In contrast to today’s radical feminists, social feminists
of the 1890s and early 20th century were of a less totalitarian character. They
stood for women’s suffrage but also advocated the strengthening of the family.
Today, the feminisation of European culture, moving rapidly since the 1960s
continues to intensify. Indeed, the present-day radical feminist assault through
support for mass Muslim immigration has a political parallel to the their
anti-colonial efforts. This current assault is in part a continuation of a
century-old effort to destroy traditional European structures, the very
foundation of European culture.
There is no doubt in the media that the “man of today” is expected to be a
touchy-feely subspecies who bows to the radical feminist agenda. He is a staple
of Hollywood, the television network sitcoms and movies, and the political
pundits of talk shows. The feminisation is becoming so noticeable that
newspapers and magazines are picking up on it. For example, the Washington Times
and National Review magazine combined to tell us that “behind the breezy
celebration of ‘guy stuff’ in today’s men’s magazine lurks a crisis of
confidence. What does it mean to be masculine in the 90s?” It is revealed that
today’s men’s magazines (Esquire, GQ, Men’s Health, Men’s Fitness, Men’s
Journal, Details, Maxim, Men’s Perspective)”are all geared to a new feminised
man….” Some examples? The old masculine attitude toward personal appearance is
disappearing. If memory serves, our fathers’ acts of personal upkeep were mostly
limited to shaving and putting on a tie. According to Lowry:
It’s hard to imagine [them] interested in articles on ‘A Flat Belly for the
Beach’ (Verge), or the three new men’s fragrances for the fall season (GQ), or
even ‘The New Fall Suit’ (Esquire). But somewhere along the line men became less
concerned with being strong and silent, and more worried about making themselves
pretty.
Indeed the feminisation of European culture is nearly completed. And the last
bastion of male domination, the police force and the military, is under assault.
If this “feminisation” trend were driven only by radical feminists seeking to
pull down a perceived male-dominated hierarchy, there would be more hope that
the cycles of history would move Europe toward a stable accommodation between
men and women. But the drive is deeper, and it will not be satisfied by any
accommodation. The radical feminists have embraced and been embraced by the
wider and deeper movement of cultural Marxism. For dedicated Marxists, the
strategy is to attack at every point where an apparent disparity leaves a
potential constituency of “oppressed” victim groups – Muslims, women etc.
Cultural Marxists, men and women, are making the most of it, and the theory
developed by the Frankfurt School provides the ideology.
The Frankfurt School theorised that the authoritarian personality is a product
of the patriarchal family. This idea is in turn directly connected to Engels’s
The Origins of the Family, Private Property and the State, which promotes
matriarchy. Furthermore, it was Karl Marx who wrote in The Communist Manifesto
about the radical notion of a “community of women.” He also, in 1845, wrote
disparagingly in his The German Ideology of the idea that the family was the
basic unit of society.
The concept of the “authoritarian personality” is not just to be interpreted as
a model for the conduct of warfare against prejudice as such. It is a handbook
for psychological warfare against the European male, to render him unwilling to
defend traditional beliefs and values. In other words, the aim was to emasculate
him. Undoubtedly the Institute for Social Research at Frankfurt University meant
this, as it used the term “psychological techniques for changing personality.”
The “authoritarian personality,” studied in the 1940s and 1950s by Western
Europeans and American followers of the Frankfurt School, prepared the way for
such psychological warfare against the male gender role. The aim was promoted by
Herbert Marcuse and others under the guise of “women’s liberation” and in the
New Left movement in the 1960s. Evidence that psychological techniques for
changing personality are intended to focus in particular on the emasculation of
the European male has also been provided by Abraham Maslow, founder of “third
force humanist psychology” and promoter of psychotherapeutic techniques in
public school classrooms. He wrote that “the next step in personal evolution is
a transcendence of both masculinity and femininity to general humanness.”
Cultural Marxist stalwarts apparently know exactly what they want to do and how
they plan to do it. They have actually already succeeded in accomplishing much
of their agenda.
How did this situation come about in European universities? Gertrude Himmelfarb
has observed that it slipped past traditional academics almost unobserved until
it was too late. It occurred so “quietly” that when they “looked up”,
postmodernism was upon them with a vengeance. “They were surrounded by such a
tidal wave of multicultural subjects such as radical feminism, deconstructed
relativism as history and other courses” which undermine the perpetuation of
Western civilisation. Indeed, this tidal wave slipped by just as Antonio Gramsci
and the Frankfurt School had envisioned – a quiet revolution propagating a
European hate ideology with the goal of destroying Western civilisation and
which was: anti-God, anti-Christian, anti-family, anti-nationalist,
anti-patriot, anti conservative, anti-hereditarian, anti-ethnocentric,
anti-masculine, anti-tradition, and anti-morality.
“Cultural Marxism,” as preached by the Frankfurt School has thus spurred the
widely popular and destructive concepts of “affirmative action,”
“multiculturalism” and “diversity.” One can’t escape these terms today. These
concepts have destroyed every defensive structure of European society which has
laid the foundation for the Islamisation of Europe.
Conclusions
Critical Theory as applied mass psychology has led to the deconstruction of
gender in the European culture. Following Critical Theory, the distinction
between masculinity and femininity will disappear. The traditional roles of the
mothers and fathers are to be dissolved so that patriarchy will be ended.
Children are not to be raised according to their biological genders and gender
roles according to their biological differences. This reflects the Frankfurt
School rationale for the disintegration of the traditional family.
Thus, one of the basic tenets of Critical Theory was the necessity to break down
the traditional family. The Frankfurt School scholars preached:
Even a partial breakdown of parental authority in the family might tend to
increase the readiness of a coming generation to accept social change.
The transformation of European culture envisioned by the cultural Marxists goes
further than pursuing gender equality. Embodied in their agenda is “matriarchal
theory,” under which they purpose to transform European culture to be
female-dominated. This is a direct throwback to Wilhelm Reich, a Frankfurt
School member who considered matriarchal theory in psychoanalytic terms. In
1933, he wrote in “The Mass Psychology of Fascism” that matriarchy was the only
genuine family type of “natural society.”
Richard Bernstein has written in his book on multiculturalism, “the Marxist
revolutionary process for the past several decades in Europe and America has
centered on race and sex warfare rather than class warfare” as in earlier times.
This reflects a scheme more total than economics to restructure the society. As
the social revolutionaries readily proclaim, their purpose is to destroy the
hegemony of white males. To accomplish this, all barriers to the introduction of
more women and minorities throughout the “power structure” are to be brought
down by all means available. Laws and lawsuits, intimidation, and demonising of
white males as racists and sexists are pursued through the mass media and the
universities. The psycho–dynamic of the revolutionary process aims for psychic
disempowerment – decapitation – of those who oppose.
The US’s founders recognised three primal values in the Declaration of
Independence, and they ranked them properly: Life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.
If the order of these fundamental human rights is switched – with happiness
before liberty or liberty before life – we come to moral chaos and social
anarchy.
This very condition is what Judge Robert Bork describes as “modern liberalism.”
He defines its characteristics as “‘radical egalitarianism’ (equality of
outcomes rather than of opportunities) and ‘radical individualism’ (the drastic
reduction of limits to personal gratification).”
Judge Bork also identifies radical feminism as “the most destructive and
fanatical” element of this modern liberalism. He further describes radical
feminism as “totalitarian in spirit.”
Most
Western Europeans and Americans do not realise that they, through their
institutions, are being led by social revolutionaries who think in terms of the
continuing destruction of the existing social order in order to create a new
one. The revolutionaries are New Age Elite Boomers. They now control the public
institutions in Western Europe and the United States. Their “quiet” revolution,
beginning with the counter-culture revolution of their youth, is nearing
completion. A key, or even a dominant element because purportedly it represents
that largest political and social constituency among their potential followers,
is feminism. The Marxist movement in its “quiet” cultural latter-day phase is
seemingly sweeping all before it. With its sway over the media, fully in the
grip of feminism, it is hard to discern the stirrings of a counter-culture. The
current cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elites, the New Totalitarians, are the
most dangerous generation in Western history. Not only have they managed to
destroy fundamental structures of European society. They are allowing millions
of Muslims to colonise Europe. In just five decades Muslim populations have
increased from a few thousand to more than 25 million.
Who will rise to challenge Political Correctness? The fate of European
civilisation depends on European men steadfastly resisting Politically Correct
feminism. Even more, they must resourcefully oppose the wider grip of Political
Correctness, the cultural Marxism for which radical feminism is only one avenue
of attack.
This is the sixth and final chapter in the Free Congress Foundation’s book on
Political Correctness, or – to call it by its real name – cultural Marxism. It
is a short bibliographical essay intended not as an exhaustive resource for
scholars but as a guide for interested citisens who want to learn more about the
ideology that is taking over Western Europe and America.
To understand Political Correctness or so called cultural Marxism and the threat
it poses it is necessary to understand its history, particularly the history of
the institution most responsible for creating it, the Frankfurt School. The
Frankfurt School, or the Institute for Social Research as it was formally known,
was established at Frankfurt University in Germany in 1923. This fact alone is
important, because it tells us that Political Correctness is not merely a
leftover of the European student rebellions of the 1960s and 1970s.
Another fact from that long-ago year, 1923, is equally significant: the intended
name for the Frankfurt School was the Institute for Marxism. The Institute’s
father and funder, Felix Weil, wrote in 1971 that he “wanted the Institute to
become known, and perhaps famous, due to its contributions to Marxism as a
scientific discipline…” Beginning a tradition Political Correctness still
carries on, Weil and others decided that they could operate more effectively if
they concealed their Marxism; hence, on reflection, they chose the
neutral-sounding name, the Institute for Social Research (Institut für
Sozialforschung). But “Weil’s heartfelt wish was still to create a foundation
similar to the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow – equipped with a staff of
professors and students, with libraries and archives – and one day to present it
to a German Soviet Republic.” In 1933, this disguised “Institute for Marxism”
left Germany and reestablished itself in New York City, where in time it shifted
its focus to injecting its ideology into Western European and American society.
The most readable English-language history of the Frankfurt School is Martin
Jay’s book, The Dialectical Imagination: A History of the Frankfurt School and
the Institute for Social Research, 1932 - 1950 (University of California Press,
Berkeley, CA, 1973 – new edition in 1996). This book is in print in paperback
and can be ordered through any bookstore. The reader should be aware that Jay’s
book is, in the words of another work on the Frankfurt School, a “semiofficial”
history, which is to say that it is largely uncritical. Like virtually all other
English-language authors on the Institute, Jay is on the political left.
Nonetheless, the book provides a solid factual introduction to the Frankfurt
School, and the reader should have little trouble discerning in it the roots and
origins of today’s Political Correctness.
In his first chapter, “The Creation of the Institut für Sozialforschung and Its
First Frankfurt Years,” Jay lays bare the Institute’s Marxist origins and
nature, and equally its efforts to conceal both: “The original idea of calling
it the Institut für Marxismus (Institute for Marxism) was abandoned as too
provocative, and a more Aesopian alternative was sought (not for the last time
in the Frankfurt School’s history).” Of the Institute’s first director, Carl
Grünberg, Jay writes, “Grünberg concluded his opening address by clearly stating
his personal allegiance to Marxism as a scientific methodology. Just as
liberalism, state socialism, and the historical school had institutional homes
elsewhere, so Marxism would be the ruling principle at the Institut.” Jay’s
first chapter also introduces the Institute’s critical shift that laid the basis
for today’s Political Correctness, a.k.a. cultural Marxism: “if it can be said
that in early years of its history the Institut concerned itself primarily with
an analysis of bourgeois society’s socio-economic substructure, in the years
after 1930 its prime interest lay in its cultural superstructure.”
The second chapter, “The Genius of Critical Theory,” gets at the heart of the
“Critical Studies” departments that now serve as the fonts of Political
Correctness on college campuses. All of these are branches and descendants of
the Critical Theory first developed in the 1930s by the Frankfurt School. The
term “Critical Theory” is itself something of a play on words. One is tempted to
ask, “OK, what is the theory?” The answer is, “The theory is to criticise.” Jay
writes, “Critical Theory, as its name implies, was expressed through a series of
critiques of other thinkers and philosophical traditions…Only by confronting it
in its own terms, as a gadly of other systems, can it be fully understood.” The
goal of Critical Theory was not truth, but praxis, or revolutionary action:
bringing the current society and culture down through unremitting, destructive
criticism. According to Jay, “The true object of Marxism, Horkheimer argued (Max
Horkheimer succeeded Carl Grünberg as director of the Institute in July, 1930),
was not the uncovering of immutable truths, but the fostering of social change.”
The central question facing the Institute in the early 1930s was how to apply
Marxism to the culture. The title of Jay’s third chapter gives the answer: “The
Integration of Psychoanalysis.” Here, Jay’s book falls down to some extent, in
that it does not offer a clear understanding of how the Institute integrated
Marx and Freud. The answer appears to be that Freud’s later critiques were made
conditional on a capitalist, bourgeois order: a revolutionary, post-capitalist
society could “liberate” man from his Freudian repression. Here again one sees
key aspects of Political Correctness emerging, including a demand for sexual
“liberation” and the attack on “patriarchal” Western culture.
If the precise nature of the blending of Marx and Freud is left open by Jay, his
next chapter makes the blend’s application clear: “The Institute’s First Studies
of Authority.” The Institute left Germany for New York in 1933 because the Nazis
came to power in Germany. Not surprisingly, one of the Institute’s first tasks
in New York was to oppose Nazism. It did so largely by concocting a
psychological “test” for an “authoritarian personality.” Supposedly, people with
this authoritarian personality were likely to support Nazism. Both the concept
and the methodology were doubtful at best. But the Institute’s work laid down an
important tool for the left, namely a notion that anyone on the right was
psychologically unbalanced. And it marked a key turning for the Institute in the
birth of Political Correctness in Western Europe and America, in that the
empirical research the studies demanded was done on Western Europeans and
Americans. Ultimately, the result was Institute member Theodor Adorno’s vastly
influential book, The Authoritarian Personality, published in 1950.
Jay’s fifth chapter, “The Institute’s Analysis of Nazism,” continues the theme
of the “authoritarian personality.” But his sixth, “Aesthetic Theory and the
Critique of Mass Culture,” provides an answer to the question of why most
“serious” modern art and music is so awful. It is intended to be. Theodor Adorno
was the Institute’s lead figure on high culture – he began life as a music
critic and promoter of Schönberg – and his view was that in the face of the
“repressiveness” of bourgeois society, art could only be “true” if it were
alienating, reflecting the alienated society around it. Jay quotes Adorno: “A
successful work is not one which resolves objective contradictions in a spurious
harmony, but one which expresses the idea of harmony negatively by embodying the
contradictions, pure and uncompromised, in its innermost structure.”
Adorno despised the new mass culture – film, radio, and jazz – in what seems to
be a case of missed opportunity: today, the entertainment industry is the single
most powerful promoter of Political Correctness. Another key Frankfurt School
figure, Walter Benjamin, did see the potential: “he paradoxically held out hope
for the progressive potential of politicised, collectivised art.” At some point,
someone – the question of who lies beyond the boundaries of Jay’s book – put
Benjamin’s perception together with the Frankfurt School’s general view, which
Jay summarises as “the Institut came to feel that the culture industry enslaved
men in far more subtle and effective ways than the crude methods of domination
practiced in earlier eras.”
In the remainder of the book, Jay traces the (sort of) empirical work of the
Institute in the 1940s, which was beset by the same problems as their earlier
survey “research,” and follows the Institute in its return to Frankfurt, Germany
after World War II. But by this point, the reader will already have the picture.
He will have seen how Marxism was translated from economic into cultural terms;
discerned the themes of sexual liberation, feminism, “victims” and so on that
make up today’s Political Correctness; and found in Critical Theory the origins
of the endless wailing about “racism, sexism and homophobia” that “PC” pours
forth. One key piece of history is missing: “an analysis of Marcuse’s
influential transmission of the Frankfurt School’s work to a new Western
European and American audience in the 1960s,” as Jay puts it in his epilogue.
Also, Jay curiously passes over with only the most minimal discussion the
effective move of the Institute, in the persons of Horkheimer and Adorno, to Los
Angeles during the war. Did the connections they built there play any role in
injecting the Frankfurt School’s philosophy into Western European and American
film and, after the war, television? Jay does not touch upon the subject.
But for the reader new to the Frankfurt School as the source of today’s
Political Correctness, Jay’s The Dialectical Imagination offers a solid base.
The book concludes with an extensive (though not annotated) bibliography of
works by and about the Frankfurt School.
As to other accessible works about the Frankfurt School, the definitive modern
work in German has recently been translated into English: The Frankfurt School:
Its History, Theories and Political Significance by Rolf Wiggershaus,
(translated by Michael Robertson, The MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, first paperback
edition 1995). This covers much of the same ground as Martin Jay’s book,
although it also follows the Institute from its post-war return to Germany up to
Adorno’s death in 1969. Wiggershaus is more detailed than Jay, and, although he
too is on the left politically, he is more critical than Jay. In the book’s
Afterword, Wiggershaus offers a brief look (and a hostile one) at some German
conservative critiques of the Frankfurt School. A picture emerges that will seem
familiar to Western Europeans and Americans entrapped in the coils of Political
Correctness:
Since the publication in 1970 of his book The Poverty of Critical Theory,
Rohrmoser has promulgated, in constantly varying forms, the view that Marcuse,
Adorno, and Horkheimer were the terrorists’ intellectual foster-parents, who
were using Cultural Revolution to destroy the traditions of the Christian West.
Academics such as Ernst Topitsch and Kurt Sontheimer, who saw themselves as
educators and liberal democrats, followed in Rohrmoser’s footsteps. In 1972
Topitsch, a critical rationalist who was Professor of Philosophy in Graz, had
stated that behind the slogans of “rational discussion” and “dialogue free of
domination” there was being established at the universities “a distinct
terrorism of political convictions such as never existed before, even under Nazi
tyranny.”
• The Frankfurt School by T.B. Bottomore (Tavistock, London, 1984). Another
history written by a sympathiser; you are better off with Jay or Wiggershaus.
• “The New Dark Age: The Frankfurt School and ‘Political Correctness’” by
Michael Minnicino, in Fidelio, Vol. 1, No. 1, Winter 1992 (KMW Publishing,
Washington, DC) One of the few looks at the Frankfurt School by someone not a
sympathiser, this long journal article explains the role of the Institute for
Social Research in creating the ideology we now know as “Political Correctness.”
Unfortunately, its value is reduced by some digressions that lack credibility.
• Angela Davis: An Autobiography by Angela Davis (Random House, New York 1974)
Angela Davis, a leading American black radical and Communist Party member, was
described by Frankfurt School member Herbert Marcuse as “my best student.” She
also studied in Frankfurt under Adorno. This book shows the link between the
Institute for Social Research and the New Left of the 1960s through the eyes of
a key participant.
• The Young Lukacs and the Origins of Western Marxism by Andrew Arato (Seabury
Press, New York, 1979). The author is, as usual, a sympathiser, but this work
shows the key role Lukacs played in the thinking of the Frankfurt School and,
later, the New Left.
• The Origin of Negative Dialectics: Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin and the
Frankfurt Institute by Susan Buck-Morss (Free Press, New York, 1977). An
important book on the relationship of the Frankfurt School and Critical Theory
to the New Left.
• Introduction to Critical Theory: Horkheimer to Habermas by David Held
(University of California Press, Berkeley, 1980). Yet another history by a fan
of the Frankfurt School, but valuable for its discussion of the impact of
Nietzsche on key Frankfurt School figures.
• Adorno: A Political Biography by Lorenz Jager (translated by Stewart Spencer,
Yale University Press, New Haven, 2004) This recent study of Theodor Adorno, the
Frankfurt School’s most important “creative spirit,” offers a highly readable
introduction to the origins of Political Correctness, perhaps the best available
to the layman. Lorenz Jager is an editor of the Frankfurter Allgemeine, one of
Germany’s most influential newspapers. He is no uncritical admirer of the
Frankfurt School, and thus offers a balanced treatment of Adorno instead of the
usual hagiography.
Beyond these secondary works lies the vast literature produced by members of the
Frankfurt School itself. Some key works were written in English, and many of
those written in German are available in translation. As is usually the case
with Marxist works, the prose style and vocabulary are often so convoluted as to
make them almost unreadable. Further, the refusal of the Frankfurt School to
make its own future vision plain led many of its members to write in aphorisms,
which adds yet another layer of impenetrableness.
One work, however, is of such importance that it must be recommended despite its
difficulty: Eros and Civilisation by Herbert Marcuse (Beacon Press, Boston,
first paperback edition in 1974 and still in print). Subtitled A Philosophical
Inquiry into Freud, this book holds center stage for two reasons. First, it
completes the task of integrating Marx and Freud. While the Marxism is sotto
voce, the whole framework of the book is in fact Marxist, and it is through the
framework that Freud is considered. Second, Eros and Civilisation and its author
were the key means of transmission by which the intellectual work of the
Frankfurt School was injected into the student rebellion of the 1960s. This book
became the bible of the young radicals who took over Western European and
America’s college campuses from 1965 onward, and who are still there as faculty
members.
In brief, Eros and Civilisation urges total rebellion against traditional
Western culture – the “Great Refusal” – and promises a Candyland utopia of free
sex and no work to those who join the revolution. About two-thirds of the way
through the book, Marcuse offers this summary of its arguments:
Our definition of the specific historical character of the established reality
principle led to a re-examination of what Freud considered to be universal
validity. We questioned this validity in view of the historical possibility of
the abolition of the repressive controls imposed by civilisation. The very
achievements of this civilisation seemed to make the performance principle
obsolete, to make the repressive utilisation of the instincts archaic. But the
idea of a non-repressive civilisation on the basis of the achievements of the
performance principle encountered the argument that instinctual liberation (and
consequently total liberation) would explode civilisation itself, since the
latter is sustained only through renunciation and work (labour) – in other
words, through the repressive utilisation of instinctual energy. Freed from
these constraints, man would exist without work and without order; he would fall
back into nature, which would destroy culture. To meet this argument, we
recalled certain archetypes of imagination which, in contrast to the
culture-heroes of repressive productivity, symbolised creative receptivity.
These archetypes envisioned the fulfilment of man and nature, not through
domination and exploitation, but through release of inherent libidinal forces.
We then set ourselves the task of “verifying” these symbols – that is to say,
demonstrating their truth value as symbols of a reality beyond the performance
principle. We thought that the representative content of the Orphic and
Narcissistic images was the erotic reconciliation (union) of man and nature in
the aesthetic attitude, where order is beauty and work is play.
Marcuse continues after this summary to lay out the erotic content of the
“reality beyond the performance principle,” i.e., a new civilisation where work
and productivity were unimportant. “The basic experience in this (aesthetic)
dimension is sensuous rather than conceptual,” that is, feelings are more
important than logic: “The discipline of aesthetics installs the order of
sensuousness as against the order of reason.”
“In German, sensuousness and sensuality are still rendered by one and the same
term: Sinnlichkeit. It connotes instinctual (especially sexual) gratification…
No longer used as a full-time instrument of labour, the body would be
re-sexualised… (which) would first manifest itself in a reactivation of all
erotogenic zones and, consequently, in a resurgence of pre-genital polymorphous
sexuality and in a decline of genital supremacy. The body in its entirety would
become an object of cathexis, a thing to be enjoyed – an instrument of pleasure.
This change in the value and scope of libidinal relations would lead to a
disintegration of the institutions in which the private interpersonal relations
have been organised, particularly the monogamic and patriarchal family.”
This in a book which Marcuse dedicated to Sophie Marcuse, his wife of fifty
years!
It is easy to see how this message – “If it feels good, do it” – published in
1955 resonated with the student rebels of the 1960s. Marcuse understood what
most of the rest of his Frankfurt School colleagues did not: the way to destroy
Western civilisation – the objective set forth by George Lukacs in 1919 – was
not through abstruse theory, but through sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. Marcuse
wrote other works for the new generation that spawned the New Left – One
Dimensional Man (1964), Critique of Pure Tolerance (1965), An Essay on
Liberation (1969), Counterrevolution and Revolt (1972). But Eros and
Civilisation was and remains the key work, the one that put the match to the
tinder.
Other central works by members of the Frankfurt School include:
• The Authoritarian Personality by Theodor Adorno (Harper, New York, 1950). This
book is the basis for everything that followed that portrayed conservatism as a
psychological defect. It had enormous impact, not least on education theory.
• Dialectic of Enlightenment by Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer (trans. By
John Cumming, Verso, London, 1979). A complex philosophical work written during
World War II largely in response to Nazism (and extensively devoted to
discussions of anti-Semitism), this work seeks to find a kernel of “liberating”
reason in the ruins of the Enlightenment.
• Minima Moralia: Reflections from a Damaged Life by Theodor Adorno (trans.
E.F.N. Jophcott, New Left Books, London, 1974). A book of aphorisms, almost
entirely incomprehensible, but the effective conclusion of Adorno’s work.
• Escape from Freedom by Erich Fromm (Farrar & Rinehart, New York, 1941, still
in print in paperback) Fromm was the Institute’s “happy face,” and this book was
often required reading at colleges in the 1960s. The thesis is that man’s nature
causes him to throw his freedom away and embrace fascism unless he “masters
society and subordinates the economic machine to the purposes of human
happiness,” i.e., adopts socialism. At this point Fromm was in the process of
breaking away from the Institute and his subsequent works cannot be considered
as part of the Frankfurt School corpus.
• Eclipse of Reason (Oxford University Press, New York, 1947). Essentially a
sequel to Dialectic of Enlightenment, the book is heavily the work of Adorno and
other Frankfurt School personages, although only Horkheimer’s name appeared on
it. Its contents are based on a series of lectures Horkheimer gave at Columbia
University in 1944. The prose style is surprisingly readable, but the contents
are odd; there is throughout a strong nostalgia, which was normally anathema to
the Frankfurt School. The key chapter, “The Revolt of Nature,” reflects a
strange Retro anarchism: “The victory of civilisation is too complete to be
true. Therefore, adjustment in our times involves an element of resentment and
suppressed fury.”
• Critical Theory: Selected Essays by Max Horkheimer (trans. Matthew O’Connell,
Seabury Press, New York, 1972). The essay, “Traditional and Critical Theory” is
especially important.
This small bibliography will be enough to get an interested reader started; the
full literature on and by the Frankfurt School is immense, as the bibliographies
in Jay’s and Wiggershaus’s books attest. What has been missing from it, at least
in English, is a readable book, written for the layman, that explains the
Frankfurt School and its works in terms of the creation of Political
Correctness. This short volume is at least a start in filling that gap.

“Who controls the present, controls the past.”
George Orwell
Historical revisionism is the attempt to change commonly held ideas about the
past[1]. Negationism is the denial of historic crimes.
From; Islam and the West, Bernard
Lewis:
We live in a time when great efforts have been made, and continue to be made, to
falsify the record of the past and to make history a tool of propaganda; when
governments, religious movements, political parties, and sectional groups of
every kind are busy rewriting history as they would wish it to have been, as
they would like their followers to believe that it was. All this is very
dangerous indeed, to ourselves and to others, however we may define otherness --
dangerous to our common humanity. Because, make no mistake, those who are
unwilling to confront the past will be unable to understand the present and
unfit to face the future.
Ironically
though, this harsh criticism of state sanctioned revisionism comes from an
Armenian Genocide denier who has downplayed the brutality of the Ottoman Empire
considerably. However, Lewis is seen as a moderate Orientalist frequently sought
by many mainstream policy makers including the current Bush administration.
Given the ignorance with which it is treated, the history of the last 1400 year
Islamic Jihad against non-Muslims and Europe comprises one of the most radical
forms of historical negationism. The First chapter of this book is therefore
dedicated in memory of this ongoing Jihad. We must strive to combat and reverse
state sanctioned falsification process by preparing for the time when the true
history of Islam will be re-introduced. When our current European regimes fall
(and our current systems based on multiculturalism will collapse) within the
next 150 years it will allow us to once again re-introduce and make
use of the true history of Islam, including: Islamic history, Islamic
jurisprudence, and true descriptions of Jihad, Dhimmitude and other falsified
aspects of Islam. The essential aim of this is to prevent historical amnesia by
preserving this true uncensored history.
Since the creation of Islam in the 7th century and to up to this day,
the Islamic Jihad has systematically killed more than 300 million non Muslims
and tortured and enslaved more than 500 million individuals. Since 9/11 2001,
more than 12 000 Jihadi terrorist attacks have occurred around the world which
have led to the death of one or more non-Muslims [2] per attack. In other words;
there are around 150 deadly Jihadi attacks per month around the world. This
trend will continue as long as there are non-Muslim targets available and as
long as Islam continues to exist.
I must admit, when I first started the study on Islamic history and Islamic
atrocities more than 3 years ago I really had my doubts about the “politically
correct” information available. I started to scratch the surface and I was
shocked as I uncovered the vast amount of “ugly, unknown” truths concerning
Islamic atrocities. There is a common misconception regarding Islam and
Christianity. A lot of people believe today that Christianity still is and was
as evil as Islam?! I can attest to the fact that this is absolutely incorrect.
Jihadi motivated killings, torture and enslavement count for more than 10 times
as Christian motivated killings. However, the politically correct Western
establishments want us to think otherwise.
The essence of multiculturalism is that all cultures and religions are “equal”.
In this context our Western governments launched a great “campaign of deception”
against their own people with the goal of creating a falsified version of the
Islamic and European Civilisation, in order to make them equal. According to
them, this is needed in order to successfully implement multiculturalism.
Islamists, Arab Nationalists and Marxist theorists have been at the forefront of
falsifying our history since WW2. Especially Edward Said's book
Orientalism published in 1978, have
been the driving force in this process.
In the past, Europe has had a stereotypical view of Islam just as Islam has had
a stereotypical view of us - and these views are largely hostile. For century
after century Islam was an enormous threat to what might loosely be called
Christendom. It shaped every aspect of European history and was directly
responsible for Europe’s colonial empires. Up till around 1750 they were a
dangerous and direct competitor to our interests. Gibbon writing in the 1780s
was the first to think that the danger had passed. On a local scale the threat
lasted even longer. Barbary pirates ravaged the coast of England up till the
1830s carting off coastal villages into slavery and at even later dates on the
west coast of Ireland and Iceland. And this was at the height of the British
Empire. More than 1,5 million Europeans have been enslaved since the first
Jihadi invasion of Andalusia, most of which were brought to North Africa.
Encyclopedia Britannica
Fact: Encyclopedia Britannica was first published in 1768. The contributors
often came from other countries and included some of the world's most respected
authorities in their fields.
Western state sanctioned negationism or “politically motivated historical
revisionism” on the subject of Islam started for the first time in Great Britain
in the late 19th century. The process was politically motivated with
the goal of creating a good foundation for British-Muslim cooperation and trade.
During the Russo-Turkish War[3], Russia succeeded in defeating the Islamic
Ottoman Empire. In 1878, after the “Congress of Berlin[4]”, Disraeli-Great
Britain decided to strike a deal with the Ottomans promising to protect them
militarily from Russia for “thirty pieces of silver” which in this case was
Cyprus. In order to improve British-Ottoman relationships it was decided to
introduce a wide scale revision of Encyclopedia Britannica (10th
edition and onward) and other source materials which up to then had described
Islam, Muslims and Islamic practices as “evil”. This was the beginning of the
official European historical falsification process.
To understand this we need to study British-Russian relations:
The super power of the 19th century, Great Britain, waged a "territorial war"
with the other potential super power: Russia. Where interests of the two crossed
was - Balkans (then under Turkish occupation).
It would be most natural that Russia should have the influence in the area. Most
of the subdued Balkan nations (Serbs, Greeks, Rumanians, and Bulgarians) are
Eastern Orthodox - like Russians. That did not fit British interests. That is
how Britain allied itself with Turkey and invented the myth of the Muslim
tolerance.
When Turks cut throats, raped women and stole children of Balkan Christians - it
was OK for the Brits - it was an expression of tolerance... As long as Russians
did not get influence in the Balkans.
Examples of falsification and apologist rhetoric include:
·
Exaggerated claims of Muslim cultural and scientific contributions.
·
The Ottoman Empire was tolerant.
·
The, “Jewish experience” in the Ottoman Empire “...was a calm, peaceful, and a
fruitful one..”.
·
Balkan Christian boys could acquire great social advancement through
“recruitment” into the Ottoman devshirme system.
·
The Armenian Genocide never happened. It was rather
a struggle between two peoples for the possession of a single homeland.
·
Muslim Andalusia (Moorish Spain) is often pointed out by Muslim apologists as a
kind of multicultural wonderland, in which Jews and Christians were permitted by
the Islamic government to rise through the ranks of learning and government
administration.
·
Jihad means personal struggle
·
Islam is a religion of peace
·
Christianity and Islam are equal in terms of historic atrocities
·
Maronite Christians (Lebanese Christians) falsely claim to be victims.
Examples of systematic deletion/ignoration of important issues
The Western European governments have sanctioned deleting and ignoring large
chunks of our history, including censorships of school curriculum’s on the
following fields:
·
Hindu Kush, the largest Genocide in the history of man
·
Armenian Genocides
·
Greek Genocides
·
Assyrian Genocides
·
Coptic Genocides
·
The past Jihads, torture and enslavement of Christians and other non-Muslim
peoples in the Middle East and Asia
·
The ongoing Jihads, torture and enslavement of Christian and other non-Muslim
peoples or individuals in the Middle East and Asia
·
Jus Primae Noctis - Officially sanctioned rape under the Ottoman Empire
·
The West’s unwillingness to prevent or defend Christian Lebanon against Jihadi
invasions by the Global Islamic Ummah (among them many Muslim countries
including Iran, Syria, Egypt, Jordan). This Jihad eventually lead to the fall of
the Christian state of Lebanon. In 1911 there were 80% Christians in Lebanon,
today there are less than 25% left, a minority who are still being persecuted)
·
What the Crusades Were Really Like
·
European
Slaves, Arab Masters – more than 1,5 million Europeans were enslaved
Examples of anti Western propaganda in our school curriculums
·
Falsified information about the Crusades (it was a defensive campaign not
offensive)
·
Western colonial history (anti Western bias, this (primarily financial
exploitation) was nothing compared to the 1400 years of Islamic Jihad which
resulted in countless genocides of more than 300 million people, and the
enslavement and forceful conversion of more than 300 million)
The above information serves as reminder why Muslim apologists and the European
state falsification process has to be fought and defeated.
Unfortunately for us, more than 95% of today’s Journalists, editors, publishers
are pro-Eurabians (support European multiculturalism). The same goes for 85% of
Western European politicians and more than 90% of EU parliamentarians.
Also, we shouldn’t forget that it’s the EU [5] that is the driving force behind
European revisionism on Islam in Europe.
From The Eurabia Code:
Euro-Arab Dialogue Symposia conducted in Venice (1977) and Hamburg (1983)
included recommendations that have been successfully implemented…
4.
The necessity of cooperation between European and Arab specialists in order to
present a positive picture of Arab-Islamic civilisation and contemporary Arab
issues to the educated public in Europe.
The Euro-Arab Dialogue (EAD) is a political, economic and cultural institution
designed to ensure perfect cohesion between Europeans and Arabs. Its structure
was set up at conferences in Copenhagen (15 December 1973), and Paris (31 July
1974). The principal agent of this policy is the European Parliamentary
Association for Euro-Arab Cooperation, founded in 1974. The other principal
organs of The Dialogue are the MEDEA Institute and the European Institute of
Research on Mediterranean and Euro-Arab Cooperation, created in 1995 with the
backing of the European Commission.
In an interview with Jamie Glazov of Frontpage Magazine, Ye'or explained how "in
domestic policy, the EAD established a close cooperation between the Arab and
European media television, radio, journalists, publishing houses, academia,
cultural centers, school textbooks, student and youth associations, tourism.
Church interfaith dialogues were determinant in the development of this policy.
Eurabia is therefore this strong Euro-Arab network of associations - a
comprehensive symbiosis with cooperation and partnership on policy, economy,
demography and culture."
Eurabia's driving force, the Parliamentary Association for Euro-Arab
Cooperation, was created in Paris in 1974. It now has over six hundred members -
from all major European political parties - active in their own national
parliaments, as well as in the European parliament. France continues to be the
key protagonist of this association.
One of the documents Bat Ye'or was kind enough to send me (which she mentions in
the French version of her book about Eurabia but not in the English version) is
the Common Strategy of the European Council - Vision of the EU for the
Mediterranean Region, from June 19th 2000.
It includes many recommendations, such as:
"to elaborate partnership-building measures, notably by promoting regular
consultations and exchanges of information with its Mediterranean partners,
support the interconnection of infrastructure between Mediterranean partners,
and between them and the EU, take all necessary measures to facilitate and
encourage the involvement of civil society as well as the further development of
human exchanges between the EU and the Mediterranean partners. NGOs will be
encouraged to participate in cooperation at bilateral and regional levels.
Particular attention will be paid to the
media and universities [my emphasis]."
The Strategy also wants to "pursue, in order to fight intolerance, racism and
xenophobia, the dialogue between cultures and civilisations."
The Algiers Declaration [11] for a Shared Vision of the Future was made after a
Congress held in Algeria in February 2006. The document states that: "It is
essential to create a Euro-Mediterranean entity founded on Universal Values" and
that "It is crucial to positively emphasise all common cultural heritage, even
if marginalised or forgotten." A Common Action Plan draws up a large number of
recommendations on how to achieve this new Euro-Mediterranean entity. Among
these recommendations are:
·
Adapt existing organisations and the contents of media to the objectives of the
North- South dialogue, and set up a Euro-Mediterranean journalism centre
·
Set up a network jointly managed by the Mediterranean partners in order to
develop "a harmonised education system" [A
"harmonised education system" between the Arab world and Europe? What does that
include? Do I want to know? Will they tell us before it is a fait accompli?]
These agreements, completely rewriting European history books to make them more
Islam-friendly and gradually silencing "Islamophobia" as racism, are being
implemented even now.
In June 2005 in Rabat [14], Morocco, a conference was held on "Fostering
Dialogue among Cultures and Civilisations." The Conference was jointly organised
by UNESCO, the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation
(ISESCO), the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the Arab League
Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organisation (ALECSO), the Danish Centre
for Culture and Development (DCCD) and the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean
Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures (Alexandria, Egypt).
Among the recommendations that were raised by Mr. Olaf Gerlach Hansen, Director
General of the DCCD: "We are interested in new actions in the media, in culture
and in education. These proposals include:
- Concrete initiatives to develop "intercultural competencies" in the training
of new generations of journalists - Concrete initiatives for links and exchanges
between journalists, editors, media-institutions, which encourage intercultural
co-operation" - Concrete initiatives for curriculum development through new
educational materials and revision of existing textbooks.
Although not stated directly, one may reasonably assume that among the "negative
stereotypes" to be removed from the textbooks used to teach history to European
schoolchildren are any and all references to the 1300 years of continuous Jihad
warfare against Europe. These recommendations were accepted and incorporated
into The Rabat Commitment.
The ECRI called on the EU member states to adopt measures that would effectively
outlaw any serious debate about Islam and introduce pro-Muslim "affirmative
action." European countries should:
·
Modify curricula to prevent "distorted interpretations of religious and cultural
history" and "portrayal of Islam on perceptions of hostility and menace";
·
Encourage debate in the media on the image which they convey of Islam and on
their responsibility to avoid perpetuating prejudice and bias.
“When a land rejects her legends, Sees but falsehoods in the past; And its
people view their Sires in the light of fools and liars, 'Tis a sign of its
decline and its glories cannot last. Branches that but blight their roots yield
no sap for lasting fruits.”
Rudyard Kipling
Europe has its own full-fledged brand of negationism: a movement to deny the
large-scale and long-term crimes against humanity committed by Islam. This
movement is led by Islamic apologists and Marxist academics, and followed by all
the politicians, journalists and intellectuals who call themselves secularists.
Similar to the Turkish negationism regarding the Armenian genocide, the European
negationism regarding the terrible record of Islam is fully supported by the
establishment (The EU, Western European governments). It has nearly full control
of the media and dictates all state and government parlance concerning the
communal problem (more properly to be
called the Islam problem).
Its techniques are essentially the same as those of negationists elsewhere:
1. Head-on denial:
The crassest form of negationism is obviously the simple denial of the facts.
This is mostly done in the form of general claims, such as:
"Islam is tolerant",
"Islamic Spain was a model of multicultural harmony",
"the anti-Jewish hatred was
unknown among Muslims until Zionism and anti-Semitism together entered the
Muslim world from Europe". Since it is rare that a specific crime of Islam
is brought to the public's notice, there is little occasion to come out and deny
specific crimes. Exceptions are the Armenian genocide, officially denied in
Turkey and the entire Muslim world.
The Rushdie affair was the occasion for negationism on a grand scale. There
happens to be an unambiguous answer to the question:
"Is it Islamic to kill those who voice criticism of the Prophet?"
According to the media and most
experts, the answer was definitely: no. According to the basic
traditions of Islam, it was: yes. Mohammed as well as his immediate successors
have killed critics, both in formal executions and in night-time stabbings. In
Islamic law, the Prophet's example is valid precedent. At most there could be
some quarrelling over the procedure: some jurists thought that Rushdie should
first be kidnapped to an Islamic country and given a chance to recant before an
Islamic court, though the ayatollahs have ruled that no amount of remorse can
save Rushdie. If he stands by his book, even the so-called moderates think he
must be killed. Islamic law punishes both apostasy and insults to the Prophet
with the death penalty: twice there is no escape for Rushdie. Yet, the outside
public was told by many experts that
killing Rushdie is un-Islamic.
Flat denial will work very well if your grip on the press and education media is
sufficient. Otherwise, there is a danger of being shown up as the negationist
one really is. In that case, a number of softer techniques are available.
2. Ignoring the facts:
This passive negationism is certainly the safest and the most popular. The media
and textbook-writers simply keep the vast corpus of inconvenient testimony out
of the readers' view. This includes most of the information about the systematic
slaughter, torture and enslavement of non-Muslims in historical and present
context (including Genocides and Dhimmitude), demographic developments which
show the systematic and gradual Muslim takeover of societies (Including Kosovo,
Lebanon and now in many Western European countries) and al-Taqiyya/ketman –
Ummah - Quranic abrogation and Jihads importance in Islam. Other essential facts
are also ignored like Saudi Arabia’s role in spreading traditional Islam (so
called Islamic theofascism or Wahhabism which the Eurabians like to refer to
it). They have failed to inform the people of Europe that Saudi Arabia have
spent more than 87 billion USD abroad the past two decades propagating “true
Islam”. The bulk of this funding goes to the construction and operating expenses
of thousands of mosques, madrassas and Muslim cultural centers throughout the
world. These Islamic institutions are now found in every single country in the
West - all over Western Europe.
3. Minimising the facts:
If the inconvenient fact is pointed out that numerous Muslim chroniclers have
reported a given massacre of unbelievers themselves, one can posit a priori that
they must have exaggerated to flatter their patron's martial vanity - as if it
is not significant enough that Muslim rulers felt flattered by being described
as mass-murderers of infidels.
Apart from minimising the absolute size of Islamic crimes, there is the popular
technique of relative minimising: make the facts look smaller by comparing them
with other, carefully selected facts.
Thus, one can say that "all religions are
intolerant", which sounds plausible to many though it is patently false: in
the Roman Empire only those sects were persecuted which had political ambitions
(Jews when they fought for independence, Christians because they sought to take
over the Empire and outlaw all other religions, as they effectively did), while
the others enjoyed the status of religio licita; similarly with the Persian
Empire and many other states and cultures.
An oft-invoked counterweight for the charge-sheet against Islam, is the
fanaticism record of Christianity. It is indeed well-known that Christianity has
been guilty of numerous temple destructions and persecutions. But the reason for
this fanaticism is found in the common theological foundation of both religions:
exclusivist prophetic monotheism. The case against Christianity is at once a
case against Islam. Moreover, in spite of its theologically motivated tendency
to intolerance, Christianity has had to go through the experience of "live and
let live" because in its formative period, it was but one of the numerous sects
in the pluralist Roman Empire.
Islam never had this experience, and in order to bring out its full potential of
fanaticism, Christianity has needed the influence of Islam on a few occasions.
Thus, it is no coincidence that Charlemagne, who defeated the Saxons by force,
was the grandson of Charles Martel, who defeated the Islamic army in Poitiers;
no coincidence either that the Teutonic knights who forcibly converted the
Balts, were veterans of the Crusades, i.e. the campaign to liberate Palestine
from Islam; nor is it a coincidence that the Spanish Inquisition emerged in a
country that had needed centuries to shake off Islamic oppression. Finally,
Christianity is, by and large, facing the facts of its own history, though it’s
still struggling with the need to own up the responsibility for these facts.
An even more general way of drowning Islamic fanaticism in relativist
comparisons is to point out that after all - every imperialistically motivated
war has been less than gentle. That may well be true, but then, we are not
setting up cults for the Genghis Khans of this world. A religion should
contribute to man's transcending his natural defects like greed and cruelty, and
not sanction and glorify them.
4. Whitewashing:
When one cannot conceal, deny or minimise the facts, one can still claim that on
closer analysis, they are not as bad as they seem. One can call right what is
obviously wrong. This can go very far, e.g. in his biography of Mohammed, Maxime
Rodinson declared unashamedly that the extermination of the Medinese Jews by
Mohammed was
doubtlessly the best solution. In numerous popular introductions to
Islam, the fact that Islam imposes the death penalty on apostates (in modern
terminology: that Islam opposes freedom of religion in the most radical manner)
is acknowledged; but then it is explained that "since
Islam was at war with the polytheists, apostasy equalled treason and desertion,
something which is still punished with death in our secular society". All
right, but the point is precisely that Islam chose to be at war with the
traditional religion of Arabia, as also with all other religions, and that it
has made this state of war into a permanent feature of its law system.
5. Playing up unrepresentative facts:
A popular tactic in negationism consists in finding a positive but
uncharacteristic event, and highlighting it while keeping the over-all picture
out of the public's view. For instance, a document is found in which Christians,
whose son has forcibly been inducted in the Ottoman Janissary army, express
pride because their son has made it to high office within this army. The fact
that these people manage to see the bright side of their son's abduction,
enslavement and forced conversion, is then used to prove that non-Muslims were
quite happy under Muslim rule, and to conceal the fact that the devshirme, the
forcible conversion and abduction of one fifth of the Christian children by the
Ottoman authorities, constituted a constant and formidable terror bewailed in
hundreds of heart-rending songs and stories.
For another example, negationists always mention cases of collaboration by
non-Muslims (German support in the Armenian Genocide etc.) to suggest that these
were treated as partners and equals and that Muslim rule was quite benevolent;
when in fact every history of an occupation, even the most cruel one, is also
the history of a collaboration. As has been pointed out, the Nazis employed
Jewish guards in the Warsaw ghetto, disprove the Nazi oppression of the Jews.
6. Denying the motive:
Negationists sometimes accept the facts, but disclaim their hero's
responsibility for them. Thus, Mohammed Habib tried to exonerate Islam by
ascribing to the Islamic invaders alternative motives: Turkish barbarity, greed,
the need to put down conspiracies brewing in temples. In reality, those rulers
who had secular reasons to avoid an all-out confrontation with the unbelievers
were often reprimanded by their clerical courtiers for neglecting their Islamic
duty. The same clerics were never unduly worried over possible secular motives
in a ruler's mind as long as these prompted him to action against the
unbelievers. At any rate, the fact that Islam could be used routinely to justify
plunder and enslavement (unlike, say, Buddhism), is still significant enough.
7. Smokescreen:
Another common tactic consists in blurring the problem by questioning the very
terms of the debate: "Islam does not
exist, for there are many Islam’s, with big differences between countries etc."
It would indeed be hard to criticise something that is so ill- defined. But the
simple fact is that Islam does exist: it is the doctrine contained in the Quran,
normative for all Muslims, and in the Hadith, normative for at least all Sunni
Muslims. There are differences between the law schools concerning minor points,
and of course there are considerable differences in the extent to which Muslims
are effectively faithful to Islamic doctrine, and correspondingly, the extent to
which they mix it with un-Islamic elements.
8. Blaming fringe phenomena:
When faced with hard facts of Islamic fanaticism, negationists often blame them
on some fringe tendency, now popularly known as fundamentalism or
Wahhabism. This is said to be the
product of post-colonial frustration, basically foreign to genuine Islam. In
reality, fundamentalists like Maulana Maudoodi and Ayatollah Khomeini knew their
Quran better than the self-deluding secularists who brand them as bad Muslims.
What is called fundamentalism or Wahhabism is in fact the original Islam, as is
proven by the fact that fundamentalists
have existed since long before colonialism, e.g. the 13th century theologian Ibn
Taimiya, who is still a lighthouse for today's Maudoodis, Turabis, Madanis and
Khomeini’s. When Ayatollah Khomeini declared that the goal of Islam is the
conquest of all non- Muslim countries, this was merely a reformulation of
Mohammed's long-term strategy and of the Quranic assurance that God has promised
the entire world to Islam. In the case of communism, one can shift the blame
from Marx to Lenin and Stalin, but Islamic terrorism has started with Mohammed
himself.
9. Arguments ad hominem:
If denying the evidence is not tenable, one can always distort it by means of
selective quoting and imputing motives to the original authors of the source
material; or manipulating quotations to make them say the opposite of the
over-all picture which the original author has presented. Focus all attention on
a few real or imagined flaws in a few selected pieces, and act as if the entire
corpus of evidence has been rendered untrustworthy. To extend the alleged
untrustworthiness of one piece of evidence to the entire corpus of evidence, it
is necessary to create suspicion against those who present the evidence: the
implication is that they have a plan of history falsification, that this plan
has been exposed in the case of this one piece of evidence, but that it is only
logical that such motivated history falsifiers are also behind the concoction of
the rest of the alleged evidence.
If the discussion of inconvenient evidence cannot be prevented, disperse it by
raising other issues, such as the human imperfections which every victim of
crimes against humanity inevitably has (Jewish harshness against the
Palestinians, Hindu untouchability); describe the demand for the truth as a ploy
to justify and cover up these imperfections. If the facts have to be faced at
all, then blame the victim. If people ignore or refute your distorted version of
history, accuse them of distortion and political abuse of history. Slander
scholars whose testimony is inconvenient; impute political or other motives to
them in order to pull the attention away from the hard evidence they present.
10. Slogans:
Finally, all discussion can be sabotaged with the simple technique of shouting
slogans: prejudice, myth,
"racism/Islamophobia". Take the struggle from the common battlefield of
arguments into the opponent's camp: his self-esteem as a member of the civilised
company that abhors ugly things like prejudice and Islamophobia. After all,
attack is the best defence.
After summing up the forms of negationism, we have to look into its causes. The
following factors come to mind:
1.
Orientalism and Islamology: After
the medieval Christian pamphlets against "Mohammed
the impostor" whose media campaigns ended in the late 19th
century, not much has been published schematising the ideological and factual
crimes of Islam. Books on, say, "slavery
in Islam" are extremely rare: the raw information that could fill such a
publication will have to be found in more general publications, in which Islam
is only referred to in passing, often without the author's realising the
implications for an evaluation of Islam. It is often said (when introducing
"refutations of prejudice") that people always associate Islam with intolerance;
but finding a book specifically devoted to the subject of Islamic intolerance
will be harder. How many tens of millions have been killed by Islam simply
because they were non-Muslims? Nobody has yet tabulated the figures available to
prepare a general estimate. We can only notice that critical research of Islam
is not exactly encouraged, and that there is an increasing tendency to
self-censorship regarding Islam criticism. In part, this is due to a much
delayed reaction against the long-abandoned Christian polemical approach.
Now that Islamic Studies departments in Europe are increasingly manned by
Muslims and sponsored by Islamic foundations and states, the climate for
critical studies of Islam is only worsening. When comparing the first (pre-World
War 2) edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam (Leiden, Netherlands) with the new
edition, it is striking how critical observations have been ironed out. But even
in the past, Islam has enjoyed a rather favourable treatment in academic
circles. Thus, about Islamic slavery the prominent Dutch Islamologist C.
Snouck-Hurgronje wrote in 1887 (i.e. thirty years after the Americans had waged
a war to impose the abolition of slavery in their southern states, and some
seventy years after its abolition in the colonies): "For
most slaves their abduction was a blessing... They themselves are convicted that
it is their enslavement that has for the first time made them human."
The political context of the growth phase of Islamology provides a part of the
explanation. Mature colonialism was not waging war against Islam, but sought the
co-operation of the established social forces in the colonised populations. The
British co-operation with the Indian Muslims is well- known; it is epitomised by
the founding in 1906 of the Muslim League, which sought to "inculcate
loyalty to the British Empire in the Indian Muslims". In French West Africa,
in the same period, Islam was accepted as a factor of social stability, and
General Lyautey pursued a dream of a Franco-Islamic synthesis culture in
Algeria. In the 1930s, in the last European attempt at fresh colonisation, the
Italian Fascists actively supported the spread of Islam in the Horn of Africa.
But already since 1853 the colonial powers had been supporting the Caliphate
against a Christian power, Russia, esp. in the Crimean War (a mistaken war if
ever there was one), and this had strongly contributed to climate of benevolence
towards the Muslim culture.
2. Church policy:
Christianity has for centuries waged a lively polemic against Islam. Recently,
this criticism has subsided. Worse, polemical works by clerics have been
withdrawn or kept unpublished (such as, early this century, Father Henri
Lammens' paper arguing that Mohammed's revelations were a psychopathological
phenomenon). One reason is that the Church is aware of the similarity between
Jesus' and Mohammed's missions, so that a criticism of the foundations of Islam
may backfire on Christianity. The second reason is the fear that Christians in
the Muslim world would have to pay for even ideological attack on Islam (that is
why Church polemists save their sharpest words for harmless religions like
Hinduism). This fear also motivates other Church policies, such as the
non-recognition of the state of Israel.
Meanwhile, the face of the Church has changed. A small but significant event in
the wake of the Second Vatican Council was the deletion from the Saints'
calendar of Our Lady of the Redemption of Slaves, whose feast was on 24
September. In the Middle Ages, there was a special clerical order and a whole
fund-raising network devoted to the redemption ("buying
back") of Christian slaves held in
Barbary. Until the 19th century, coastal villages in Italy had watchtowers
to alarm the people when a ship of the slave-catching Barbarese pirates was in
sight. The terror of Islamic slavery was a permanent feature of Christian
history from the 7th till the 19th century, but now the Church is working hard
to erase this memory.
Today, its pastors are the most fervent pleaders for the rights of Islam.
Muslims in Europe are for them a substitute for the disappearing parish members.
Separate Christian institutions, whose reason of existence is being questioned,
find a new legitimacy in the fact that Islam in its turn is also opening
separate schools, charities and even political parties. Islam has become a
sister religion regularly praised as
a religion of peace.
3. Anti-colonialism:
One of the ideological guidelines of anti-colonialism was: "Of
the (ex) colonised, nothing but good must be said." Therefore, mentioning
the colonialism and mass slavery practised by the Muslims had become
undesirable.
Add to this general taboo the warning that Islam criticism effectively implies
support to Israel, described by Maxime Rodinson as a "colonial
settler-state". If one acknowledges that Islam has always oppressed the
Jews, one accepts that Israel was a necessary refuge for the Jews fleeing not
only the European but also the Islamic variety of anti-Judaism. Let us not
forget that decolonisation was followed immediately by renewed discrimination of
and attacks on the Jewish and Christian minorities, and that those Jews who
could get out have promptly fled to Israel (or France, in the case of Algeria).
It is no coincidence that these Sephardic Jews are mostly supporters of the
hard- liners in Israel.
4. The enemy's enemy is a friend:
Many people brought up as Christians, or as nominal Hindus, never outgrow their
pubescent revolt against their parents' religion, and therefore automatically
sympathise with every rival or opponent of the religion they have come to
despise. Because Islam poses the most formidable threat, they like it a lot.
5. Leftism:
In this century, Islam has come to be advertised as a naturally leftist "religion
of equality". This line has been developed by Muslim apologists such as
Mohammed Habib, and they have even taken it as a rationalisation of the
irrational claim that Mohammed was the "last
Prophet": after all, as the "prophet
of equality", he had brought the ultimate message upon which no improvement
is possible. Sir Mohammed Iqbal, one of the fathers of Pakistan, had claimed
that "Islam equals Communism plus Allah".
The Iranian Ayatollahs, by contrast, and most of the vocal Muslims after the
Soviet-Islamic war in Afghanistan, have restated the orthodox position that
Communism is un-Islamic, not only because of its atheism but also because of its
rejection of free enterprise; the current claim is that Islam provides a "better
form of equality" than Communism.
Even while Communists were slaughtered in Islamic Iran, and even while political
analysts classify the Islamist movements as "extreme
rightist", most leftists have kept on cultivating some sympathy for Islam.
During the Lebanese civil war, they fed us news stories about
"leftist Muslims, rightist Christians",
"Islamo-progressive, Christiano- reactionnaire".
Negationism in Europe is practised with the most prowess by historians and
writers who are under the spell of Marxism. Lenin had wanted to use the Muslims
against the French and British colonialists. Modern Leftists with Marxist
sympathies see Islam as an ally against Israel and the US.
6. Rightist traditionalism:
There is also a rightist sympathy for Islam. An obvious point of agreement is of
course anti-Judaism. A subtler basis for sympathy is the so-called
traditionalist current, which was represented by the converts Rene Guenon and
Frithjof Schuon, and still has a following: it has been idealising Islam and
esp. Sufism as the preserver of the age-old philosophia pernnis against
modernity. In Russia, some Slavophile anti-Western groups now seek an alliance
with Islam against the impending Americanisation of their society. In the U.S.,
Christian fundamentalists and Islamic organisations are increasingly creating
common platforms to speak out against trends of moral decay (abortion,
pornography, etc.). Some of these phenomena of traditionalist alliance-building
are quite respectable, but they are nevertheless conducive to Islam negationism.
7. Economic Liberalists:
Liberalists see Muslim immigration as an endless source of cheap labour and seek
to defend them as often as they can. In addition, they support EU membership for
Turkey.
8. Liberal Islam:
In the Islamic world, it is unwise to attack Islam head-on. Yet, sometimes
people in those countries feel the need to oppose Islamic phenomena and
campaigns, such as the witch-hunt on un-Islamic cultural remnants, violence on
the non-Muslims, extreme forms of gender inequality. In order to have a chance,
these people have to use Islamic language:
"Mohammed was actually against polygamy", "violence against others is in
conflict with the tolerance which Mohammed has taught us", "and respect for
other cultures is part of Islamic tradition".
In order to press their humanist point, they have to formally identify with
Islam and lie about its contents.
Many Muslims have started to believe their own rhetoric. If you point out to
them that the Quran teaches intolerance and war against the unbelievers in the
most explicit terms, many of them will sincerely protest, and not know what to
say when you show them the Quranic passages concerned. There is no reason to
doubt that the Moroccan authoress Fatima Mernissi genuinely believes in her own
argument that the Quranic instructions on how to organise your polygamous
household are to be read as an abolition of polygamy (albeit in veiled terms,
because Allah, the same Allah Almighty who went straight against the prevalent
customs of idolatry and pluralism, had to be careful not to offend the spirit of
the times). Many nominal Muslims have outgrown Islamic values and developed a
commitment to modern values, but their sentimental attachment to the religion
imbibed in their childhood prevents them from formally breaking with Islam and
makes them paint a rosy picture of it.
Among Muslim spokesmen, is certainly not the fundamentalists who are the most
active proponents of negationism. It is liberals like Asghar Ali Engineer who
deny that Islam ordains war on the infidels. It is those who are acclaimed by
Europeans as being good "secular"
Muslims. An Islam that wants to be secular cannot be and is therefore dishonest
and untrue to itself. Unfortunately, a tolerant Islam is a contradiction, and
the “creation” of a tolerant past for Islam to appease the position of liberal
Muslims, is a lie.
9.
Muslims differing from Islam: Many
people have a Muslim neighbour who is a fine man, and from this empirical fact
they conclude: Islam cannot be all that bad considering our friend Mustapha.
This one empirical fact gives them a tremendous resistance against all
information about Islamic intolerance. People usually reduce the world to their
own sphere of experience, and general historical facts of Islamic fanaticism are
not allowed to disturb the private experience of good neighbourly relations.
Many nominal Muslims have retained some vague generalities about morality from
the Quran, and they normally go by their own conscience and sensibility without
ever developing the doctrinally prescribed hostility towards non-Muslims. These
good people, although bad Muslims, can ignore but not change Islamic doctrine.
They cannot prevent the Quranic message of hatred from infecting at least some
of the more susceptible among their brethren and perhaps even their children or
grandchildren in the future.
There have certainly been situations where sane Muslims have calmed down their
more riotous brethren, and such individuals do make a real difference. We should
not make the Islamic mistake of judging people simply by their belonging or not
belonging to the Muslim community, rather than by their human qualities. But the
fact remains that the presence of a doctrine of intolerance as the official and
identity-defining ideology of a community, exerts a constant pressure tending
towards separatism and confrontation. The alleviating presence of the humanist
factor even within the Muslim community should not be used to deny the ominous
presence of Islamic factors.
"Those who deny history are bound to repeat it":
While Nazism is simply too stained to get a second chance, Islam is certainly in
a position to force unbelievers into Dhimmitude (as is happening in dozens of
Muslim countries in varying degrees), and even to wage new jihads, this time
with weapons of mass-destruction. Those who are trying to close people's eyes to
this danger by distorting or concealing the historical record of Islam are
effective accomplices in the injustice and destruction which Islam is sure to
cause before the time of its dissolution comes. Therefore, I consider it a duty
of all intellectuals to expose and denounce the phenomenon of negationism
whenever it is practised.
Another example of falsified history:
H. M. Elliot and John Dowson, The History of India as Told by Its Own
Historians, (London, 1867-1877) described the Muslim tyranny and barbary in
great detail.
100 years later, several Western countries had implemented several reforms of
historical falsification already:
Stanley Lane-Poole, Medieval India under Mohammedan Rule, 712-1764, G.P.
Putnam's Sons. New York, 1970. p. 9-10 which was very Muslim friendly.
Describing the invasions as almost a peaceful and friendly gesture…
The motives of these campaigns must be seen in context.
Britain/US/France/Germany was now pro Arab/pro Muslim in the cold war
environment where you saw India/Russia/China on the axis of ”evil”. Western
historians after 1900 was therefore not allowed to write anything negative about
their new Muslim allies. Most of western sources after year 1900 are therefore
falsified. The source material is basically a compilation of falsified
fairytales with the only objective of appeasing a strategic ally which proved to
be an advantage in the war against the Soviets. It’s a well known fact that
British (Western historians) before 1900 had a totally different view than post
1900 historians.

Kari Vogt, historian of religion at the University of Oslo, has stated that Ibn
Warraq’s book “Why I am Not a Muslim”
is just as irrelevant to the study of Islam as The Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion are to the study of Judaism. She is widely considered as one of
the leading expert on Islam in Norway, and is frequently quoted in national
media on matters related to Islam and Muslim immigration. People who get most of
their information from the mainstream media, which goes for the majority of the
population, will thus be systematically fed biased information and half-truths
about Islam from our universities, which have largely failed to uphold the ideal
of free inquiry. Unfortunately, this situation is pretty similar at
universities[1] and colleges[2] throughout the West[3].
London’s School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS[4]), scene to a growing
number of anti-Semitic incidents from an increasingly pro-Islamic campus, issued
a threat to one of its Jewish students to cease his protests against
anti-Semitism at the University. Gavin Gross, an American, had been leading a
campaign against the deterioration of conditions for Jewish students at SOAS,
which is part of the University of London. SOAS had witnessed an escalation of
anti-Jewish activity, in both severity and frequency. At the beginning of the
year, the Islamic Society screened a video which compared Judaism with Satanism.
Meanwhile, in a move to “promote understanding between Islam and the West,”
Saudi Arabia donated about SR13 million to a leading British museum[5]. The
officials said the money from Prince Sultan would pay for a new Saudi and
Islamic gallery, which would help to portray Islamic culture and civilisation in
right perspectives. It would also help fund scholarships for Saudi students at
Oxford University.
The Saudis and other oil-rich Arabs are busy buying influence over what
Westerners hear about Islam. Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud,
a member of the Saudi Royal Family, is an international investor currently
ranked among the ten richest persons in the world. He is known in the USA for a
$10 million check he offered to New York City Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani in
October 2001 for the Twin Towers Fund. Mayor Giuliani returned the gift when he
learned that the prince had called for the United States to “re-examine its
policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stance toward the
Palestinian cause.”
Prince Talal is also creating a TV channel, Al-Resalah[6], to target American
Muslims. He already broadcasts in Saudi Arabia. In 2005, Bin Talal bought 5.46%
of voting shares in News Corp, the parent of Fox News. In December 2005 he
boasted to Middle East Online about his ability to change what viewers see on
Fox News[7]. Covering the riots in France[8] that fall, Fox ran a banner saying:
“Muslim riots.” Bin Talal was not happy. “I picked up the phone and called
Murdoch [...] [and told him] these are not Muslim riots, these are riots out of
poverty,” he said. “Within 30 minutes, the title was changed from Muslim riots
to civil riots.”
A survey conducted by Cornell University found that around half of Americans had
a negative view of Islam[9]. Addressing a press conference at the headquarters
of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY), Paul Findley, a former US
Congressman, said that the cancer of anti-Muslim and anti-Islamic sentiments was
spreading in American society and required corrective measures to stamp out. It
was announced that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) would be
launching a massive $50 million media campaign involving television, radio and
newspapers. “We are planning to meet Prince Alwaleed ibn Talal for his financial
support to our project. He has been generous in the past.”
The World Assembly of Muslim Youth, founded by the nephew of Osama Bin Laden in
the US, is sharing offices with the Islamic Society of North America and the
Islamic Centre of Canada. WAMY Canada runs[10] a series of Islamic camps and
pilgrimages for youth. US Special Agent Kane quoted from a publication prepared
by the WAMY that said: “Hail! Hail! O Sacrificing Soldiers! To Us! To Us! So we
may defend the flag on this Day of Jihad, are you miserly with your blood?! And
has life become dearer to you? And staying behind sweeter?” According to him,
14- to 18-year-olds were the target audience for these teachings.
Harvard University and Georgetown University received $20 million donations[11]
from Prince bin Talal to finance Islamic studies. “For a university with global
aspirations, it is critical that Harvard have a strong program on Islam that is
worldwide and interdisciplinary in scope,” said Steven E. Hyman, Harvard’s
provost. Georgetown said it would use the gift – the second-largest it has ever
received – to expand its Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. Martin
Kramer, the author of “Ivory Towers on Sand: The Failure of Middle Eastern
Studies in America,” said: “Prince Alwaleed knows that if you want to have an
impact, places like Harvard or Georgetown, which is inside the Beltway, will
make a difference.”
Georgetown professor John Esposito, founding director of the Center for
Muslim-Christian Understanding, has, probably more than any other academic,
contributed to downplaying[12] the Jihadist threat to the West. Kramer states
that[13] during his early days in the 1970s, Esposito had prepared his thesis
under his Muslim mentor Ismail R. Faruqi, a Palestinian pan-Islamist and
theorist of the “Islamisation of knowledge.” During the first part of his
career, John L. Esposito never studied or taught at a major Middle East center.
In the 80s, he published books such as
Islam: The Straight Path, the first of a series of favorable books on Islam.
In 1993, Esposito arrived at Georgetown University, and has later claimed the
status of “authority” in the field.
In 2003, officials from the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) recognised
Esposito[14] as the current “Abu Taleb of Islam” and the Muslim community, not
only in North America but also worldwide. In appreciation of his “countless
effort towards dispelling myths about Muslim societies and cultures,” Dr. Sayyid
Syeed, Secretary General of the ISNA compared the role of Esposito to that of
Abu Taleb, Muhammad’s non-Muslim uncle who gave unconditional support to the
Muslim community in Mecca at a time when it was still weak and vulnerable.
The rise to prominence of Esposito symbolises the failure of critical studies of
Islam – some would argue critical studies of just about anything non-Western –
in Western Universities in the 1980s and 90s. Frenchman Olivier Roy as early as
1994 published a book entitled The
Failure of Political Islam and wrote of the Middle East as having entered
the stage of “post-Islamism.” As Martin Kramer puts it, “the academics were so
preoccupied with “Muslim Martin Luthers” that they never got around to producing
a single serious analysis of bin Laden and his indictment of America. Bin
Laden’s actions, statements, and videos were an embarrassment to academics who
had assured Americans that “political Islam” was retreating from confrontation.
At least US Universities are noticing bin Laden now. Bruce Lawrence, Duke
professor[15] of religion, has published a book of Osama bin Laden’s speeches
and writings. “If you read him in his own words, he sounds like somebody who
would be a very high-minded and welcome voice in global politics,” Lawrence
said. Lawrence has also claimed that Jihad means “being a better student, a
better colleague, a better business partner. Above all, to control one’s anger.”
Others believe we make too much fuss about this whole Jihad business. John
Mueller, Professor of Political Science at Ohio State University, in the
September 2006 issue of Foreign Affairs[16]
asked whether the terrorist threat to the USA had just been made up: “A fully
credible explanation for the fact that the United States has suffered no
terrorist attacks since 9/11 is that the threat posed by homegrown or imported
terrorists – like that presented by Japanese Americans during World War II or by
American Communists after it – has been massively exaggerated.” “The massive and
expensive homeland security apparatus erected since 9/11 may be persecuting
some, spying on many, inconveniencing most, and taxing all to defend the United
States against an enemy that scarcely exists.”
Lee Kaplan joined a conference[17] of MESA, the Middle East Studies Association,
in San Francisco: “Free copies of a glossy newsmagazine called the
Washington Report on Middle East Affairs
were being distributed to the academics in attendance. Most people, upon seeing
the publication, might assume it was similar to
Newsweek or
Time.” “What most people don’t know
is that the Washington Report on Middle
East Affairs magazine and Web site – indeed, the entire organisation behind
it – are funded by Saudi Arabia, a despotic regime that has been quietly buying
its way onto every campus in America, particularly through Middle East Studies
centers in the U.S.”
“I met Nabil Al-Tikriti, a professor from the University of Chicago.” “I’d
invite those academic Middle East scholars who actually support America’s war
effort overseas and security needs here at home. People like Daniel Pipes or
Martin Kramer.” I continued, “Why aren’t they here at the MESA Conference?”
“They’d be shouted down,” replied Al-Tikriti.
Jihad Watch Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald shares his worries about
MESA[18]: “As an organisation, MESA has over the past two decades slowly but
surely been taken over by apologists for Islam.” “The apologetics consists in
hardly ever discussing Jihad, dhimmitude, or indeed even introducing the
students to Qur’an, Hadith, and Sira.” “Books on the level of [Karen] Armstrong
and Esposito are assigned, and feelgood nonsense like Maria Rosa Menocal’s
The Ornament of the World.”
“No member of MESA has done as much to make available to a wide public important
new work on Muhammad, on the origins of the Qur’an, and on the history of early
Islam, as that lone wolf, Ibn Warraq. No one has done such work on the
institution of the dhimmi as that lone louve, Bat Ye’or[19]. It is an astounding
situation, where much of the most important work is not being done in
universities, because many university centers have been seized by a kind of
Islamintern International.”
Hugh Fitzgerald is right. The Legacy of
Jihad, one of the most important works on Jihad to appear in recent years,
was written by Andrew Bostom, a medical doctor who was dissatisfied with much of
the material available on the subject following the terror attacks in 2001. Bat
Ye’or, perhaps the leading expert on the Islamic institution of dhimmitude, is
self-taught. And Ibn Warraq has written several excellent books on the origins
of the Koran and the early days of Islamic history while remaining outside of
the established University system. This is all a great credit to them
personally, but it is not a credit to the status of Western Universities.
It is difficult to understand why American or Western authorities still allow
the Saudis to fund what is being taught about Islam to future Western leaders,
years after several Saudi nationals staged the worst terror attack in Western
history. The United States didn’t allow Nazi Germany to buy influence at US
Universities. Although the Soviet Communists had their apologists in the West as
well as paid agents, the US never allowed the Soviet Union to openly sponsor its
leading colleges. So why are they allowing Saudi Arabia and other Islamic
nations to do so? The Saudis are enemies, and should be banned from exerting
direct influence over our Universities and major media. It is a matter of
national security.
Still, although bribes and Saudi oil money represent a serious obstacle to
critical Western studies of Islam, they do by no means make up all of the
problems. Quite a few academics are so immersed with anti-Western ideology that
they will be happy to bash the West and applaud Islam for free.
Few works have done more to corrupt critical debate of Islam in Western
institutions for higher learning during the past generation than the 1979 book
Orientalism by Edward Said. It spawned a veritable army of Saidists, or Third
World Intellectual Terrorism[20] as Ibn Warraq puts it. According to Ibn Warraq,
“the latter work taught an entire generation of Arabs the art of self-pity –
“were it not for the wicked imperialists, racists and Zionists, we would be
great once more” – encouraged the Islamic fundamentalist generation of the
1980s, and bludgeoned into silence any criticism of Islam.”
“The aggressive tone of Orientalism
is what I have called ‘intellectual terrorism,’ since it does not seek to
convince by arguments or historical analysis but by spraying charges of racism,
imperialism, Eurocentrism” on anybody who might disagree. “One of his preferred
moves is to depict the Orient as a perpetual victim of Western imperialism,
dominance and aggression. The Orient is never seen as an actor, an agent with
free-will, or designs or ideas of its own.”
Ibn Warraq also criticises Said for his lack of recognition of the tradition of
critical thinking in the West. Had he delved a little deeper into Greek
civilisation and history, and bothered to look at Herodotus’ great history, Said
“would have encountered two features which were also deep characteristics of
Western civilisation and which Said is at pains to conceal and refuses to allow:
the seeking after knowledge for its own sake.” “The Greek word, historia, from
which we get our “history,” means “research” or “inquiry,” and Herodotus
believed his work was the outcome of research: what he had seen, heard, and read
but supplemented and verified by inquiry.”
“Intellectual inquisitiveness is one of the hallmarks of Western civilisation.
As J.M. Roberts put it, “The massive indifference of some civilisations and
their lack of curiosity about other worlds is a vast subject. Why, until very
recently, did Islamic scholars show no wish to translate Latin or western
European texts into Arabic? Why when the English poet Dryden could confidently
write a play focused on the succession in Delhi after the death of the Mogul
emperor Aurungzeb, is it a safe guess that no Indian writer ever thought of a
play about the equally dramatic politics of the English seventeenth-century
court? It is clear that an explanation of European inquisitiveness and
adventurousness must lie deeper than economics, important though they may have
been.”
Martin Kramer points out the irony that novelist Salman Rushdie praised Said’s
courage: “Professor Said periodically receives threats to his safety from the
Jewish Defense League in America,” said Rushdie in 1986, “and I think it is
important for us to appreciate that to be a Palestinian in New York – in many
ways the Palestinian – is not the easiest of fates.” But as it happened, Said’s
fate became infinitely preferable to Rushdie’s, after Khomeini called for
Rushdie’s death in 1989. It was ironic that Rushdie, a postcolonial literary
lion of impeccable left-wing credentials, should have been made by some Muslims
into the very personification of Orientalist hostility to Islam.”
In his essay The Intellectuals and Socialism, F.A. Hayek noted already decades
ago that “Socialism has never and nowhere been at first a working-class
movement. It is a construction of theorists” and intellectuals, “the secondhand
dealers in ideas.” “The typical intellectual need not possess special knowledge
of anything in particular, nor need he even be particularly intelligent, to
perform his role as intermediary in the spreading of ideas. The class does not
consist of only journalists, teachers, ministers, lecturers, publicists, radio
commentators, writers of fiction, cartoonists, and artists.” It also “includes
many professional men and technicians, such as scientists and doctors.”
“These intellectuals are the organs which modern society has developed for
spreading knowledge and ideas, and it is their convictions and opinions which
operate as the sieve through which all new conceptions must pass before they can
reach the masses.”
“The most brilliant and successful teachers are today more likely than not to be
socialists.” According to Hayek, this is not because Socialists are more
intelligent, but because “a much higher proportion of socialists among the best
minds devote themselves to those intellectual pursuits which in modern society
give them a decisive influence on public opinion.” “Socialist thought owes its
appeal to the young largely to its visionary character.” “The intellectual, by
his whole disposition, is uninterested in technical details or practical
difficulties. What appeal to him are the broad visions.”
He warns that “It may be that as a free society as we have known it carries in
itself the forces of its own destruction, that once freedom has been achieved it
is taken for granted and ceases to be valued, and that the free growth of ideas
which is the essence of a free society will bring about the destruction of the
foundations on which it depends.” “Does this mean that freedom is valued only
when it is lost, that the world must everywhere go through a dark phase of
socialist totalitarianism before the forces of freedom can gather strength
anew?” “If we are to avoid such a development, we must be able to offer a new
liberal program which appeals to the imagination. We must make the building of a
free society once more an intellectual adventure, a deed of courage.”
In his book Modern Culture, Roger
Scruton[21] explains the continued attraction of left-wing ideology in this way:
“The Marxist theory is as form of economic determinism, distinguished by the
belief that fundamental changes in economic relations are invariably
revolutionary, involving a violent overthrow of the old order, and a collapse of
the political “super-structure” which had been built on it. The theory is almost
certainly false: nevertheless, there is something about the Marxian picture
which elicits, in enlightened people, the will to believe. By explaining culture
as a by-product of material forces, Marx endorses the Enlightenment view, that
material forces are the only forces there are. The old culture, with its gods
and traditions and authorities, is made to seem like a web of illusions – ‘the
opiate of the people,’ which quietens their distress.”
Hence, according to Scruton, in the wake of the Enlightenment, “there came not
only the reaction typified by Burke and Herder, and embellished by the
romantics, but also a countervailing cynicism towards the very idea of culture.
It became normal to view culture from the outside, not as a mode of thought
which defines our moral inheritance, but as an elaborate disguise, through which
artificial powers represent themselves as natural rights. Thanks to Marx,
debunking theories of culture have become a part of culture. And these theories
have the structure pioneered by Marx: they identify power as the reality, and
culture as the mask; they also foretell some future ‘liberation’ from the lies
that have been spun by our oppressors.”
It is striking to notice that this is exactly the theme of author Dan Brown’s
massive international hit The Da Vinci
Code from 2003, thought to be one of the ten best-selling books of all time.
In addition to being a straightforward thriller, the novel claims that the
entire modern history of Christianity is a conspiracy of the Church to cover up
the truth about Jesus and his marriage to Mary Magdalene.
Australian writer Keith Windschuttle[22], a former Marxist, is tired of that
anti-Western slant that permeates academia: “For the past three decades and
more, many of the leading opinion makers in our universities, the media and the
arts have regarded Western culture as, at best, something to be ashamed of, or
at worst, something to be opposed. The scientific knowledge that the West has
produced is simply one of many “ways of knowing.”
“Cultural relativism claims there are no absolute standards for assessing human
culture. Hence all cultures should be regarded as equal, though different.” “The
plea for acceptance and open-mindedness does not extend to Western culture
itself, whose history is regarded as little more than a crime against the rest
of humanity. The West cannot judge other cultures but must condemn its own.”
He urges us to remember how unique some elements of our culture are: “The
concepts of free enquiry and free expression and the right to criticise
entrenched beliefs are things we take so much for granted they are almost part
of the air we breathe. We need to recognise them as distinctly Western
phenomena. They were never produced by Confucian or Hindu culture.” “But without
this concept, the world would not be as it is today. There would have been no
Copernicus, Galileo, Newton or Darwin.”
The re-writing of Western history has become so bad that even playwright William
Shakespeare has been proclaimed a closet Muslim. “Shakespeare would have
delighted in Sufism,” said the Islamic scholar Martin Lings, himself a Sufi
Muslim. According to The Guardian, Lings argued that Shakespeare’s “work
resembles the teachings of the Islamic Sufi sect” in the International
Shakespeare Globe Fellowship Lecture at Shakespeare’s own Globe Theatre in
London. Lings spoke during Islam Awareness Week.
“It’s impossible for Shakespeare to have been a Muslim,” David N. Beauregard, a
Shakespeare scholar and co-editor of Shakespeare and the Culture of Christianity
in Early Modern England, told. Shakespeare “maintained Roman Catholic beliefs on
crucial doctrinal differences.” Beauregard notes that “this is not to say that
Shakespeare was occupied with writing religious drama, but only that a specific
religious tradition informs his work.”
According to Robert Spencer[23], “Shakespeare is just the latest paradigmatic
figure of Western Christian culture to be remade in a Muslim-friendly manner.”
Recently the [US] State Department asserted, without a shred of evidence, that
Christopher Columbus (who in fact praised Ferdinand and Isabella for driving the
Muslims out of Spain in 1492, the same year as his first visit to the Americas)
was aided on his voyages by a Muslim navigator. “The state of American education
is so dismal today that teachers themselves are ill-equipped to counter these
historical fantasies.”
The Gates of Vienna blog[24] quoted a report by The American Council of Trustees
and Alumni (ACTA) on US Universities. Their survey revealed “a remarkable
uniformity of political stance and pedagogical approach. Throughout the
humanities and social sciences, the same issues surface over and over,
regardless of discipline. In courses on literature, philosophy, and history;
sociology, anthropology, and religious studies; women’s studies, American
studies, [...] the focus is consistently on a set list of topics: race, class,
gender, sexuality, and the “social construction of identity”; globalisation,
capitalism, and U.S. “hegemony”; the ubiquity of oppression and the destruction
of the environment.”
“In class after class, the same essential message is repeated, in terms that, to
an academic “outsider,” often seem virtually unintelligible.” “In short, the
message is that the status quo, which is patriarchal, racist, hegemonic, and
capitalist, must be “interrogated” and “critiqued” as a means of theorising and
facilitating a social transformation whose necessity and value are taken as a
given.” “Differences between disciplines are beginning to disappear. Courses in
such seemingly distinct fields as literature, sociology, and women’s studies,
for example, have become mirror images of one another.”
Writer Charlotte Allen commented[25] on how Harvard University President
Lawrence Summers caused a storm by giving a speech speculating that innate
differences between the sexes may have something to do with the fact that
proportionately fewer women than men hold top positions in science. Summers in
2006 announced his intention to step down at the end of the school year, in part
due to pressure caused by this speech. “Even if you’re not up on the scientific
research – a paper Mr. Summers cited demonstrating that, while women overall are
just as smart as men, significantly fewer women than men occupy the very highest
intelligence brackets that produce scientific genius – common sense tells you
that Mr. Summers has got to be right. Recently, Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and
Sciences passed a vote of no confidence in Mr. Summers. Wouldn’t it be
preferable to talk openly about men’s and women’s strengths and weaknesses?”
Yes, Ms. Allen, it would. Summers may have been wrong, but it’s dangerous once
we embark on a road where important issues are not debated at all. One of the
hallmarks of Western civilisation has been our thirst for asking questions about
everything. Political Correctness is thus anti-Western both in its form and in
its intent. It should be noted that in this case, Feminists were in the vanguard
of PC, the same ideology that has blinded our Universities to the Islamic
threat.
It makes it even worse when we know that other Feminists in academia are
asserting that the veil, or even the burka, represent “an alternative Feminism.”
Dr. Wairimu Njambi is an Assistant Professor of “Women’s Studies” at the Florida
Atlantic University. Much of her scholarship is dedicated to advancing the
notion that the cruel practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) is actually a
triumph for Feminism and that it is hateful to suggest otherwise. According to
Njambi “anti-FGM discourse perpetuates a colonialist assumption by
universalising a particular western image of a ‘normal’ body and sexuality.”
Still, there are pockets of resistance. Professor Sigurd Skirbekk[26] at the
University of Oslo questions many of the assumptions underlying Western
immigration policies. One of them is the notion that rich countries have a duty
to take in all people from other nations that are suffering, either from natural
disasters, political repression or overpopulation. According to him, it cannot
be considered moral of the cultural, political and religious elites of these
countries to allow their populations to grow unrestrained and then push their
excess population onto other countries.
Skirbekk points out that European countries have earlier rejected the Germans
when they used the argument of lebensraum as a motivation for their foreign
policy. We should do the same thing now when other countries invoke the argument
that they lack space for their population. According to him, there is plenty of
literature available about the ecological challenges the world will be facing in
this century. Running a too liberal immigration policy while refusing to
confront such unpleasant moral issues is not a sustainable alternative in the
long run. We will then only push difficult dilemmas onto future generations.
In Denmark, linguist Tina Magaard[27] concludes that Islamic texts encourage
terror and fighting to a far greater degree than the original texts of other
religions. She has a PhD in Textual Analysis and Intercultural Communication
from the Sorbonne in Paris, and has spent three years on a research project
comparing the original texts of ten religions. “The texts in Islam distinguish
themselves from the texts of other religions by encouraging violence and
aggression against people with other religious beliefs to a larger degree. There
are also straightforward calls for terror. This has long been a taboo in the
research into Islam, but it is a fact we need to deal with.”
Moreover, there are hundreds of calls in the Koran for fighting against people
of other faiths. “If it is correct that many Muslims view the Koran as the
literal words of God, which cannot be interpreted or rephrased, then we have a
problem. It is indisputable that the texts encourage terror and violence.
Consequently, it must be reasonable to ask Muslims themselves how they relate to
the text, if they read it as it is,” says Magaard.
The examples of Skirbekk, Magaard and others are indeed encouraging, but not
numerous enough to substantially change the overall picture of Western academics
largely paralysed by Political Correctness and anti-Western sentiments.
Writer Mark Steyn[28] comments on how “out in the real world it seems the true
globalisation success story of the 1990s was the export of ideology from a
relatively obscure part of the planet to the heart of every Western city.”
“Writing about the collapse of nations such as Somalia, the
Atlantic Monthly’s Robert D. Kaplan
referred to the “citizens” of such “states” as “re-primitivised man.”
“When lifelong Torontonians are hot for decapitation, when Yorkshiremen born and
bred and into fish ‘n’ chips and cricket and lousy English pop music
self-detonate on the London Tube, it would seem that the phenomenon of
“re-primitivised man” has been successfully exported around the planet. It’s
reverse globalisation: The pathologies of the remotest backwaters now have
franchise outlets in every Western city.”
It is possible to see a connection here. While multiculturalism is spreading
ideological tribalism in our universities, it is spreading physical tribalism in
our major cities. Since all cultures are equal, there is no need to preserve
Western civilisation, nor to uphold our laws.
It is true that we may never fully reach the ideal of objective truth, since we
are all more or less limited in our understanding by our personal experiences
and our prejudice. However, this does not mean that we should abandon the ideal.
That’s what has happened during the past decades. Our colleges aren’t even
trying to seek truth; they have decided that there is no such thing as “truth”
in the first place, just different opinions and cultures, all equally valid.
Except Western culture, which is inherently evil and should be broken down and
“deconstructed.” Western Universities have moved from the Age of Reason to the
Age of Deconstruction.
While Chinese, Indian, Korean and other Asian Universities are graduating
millions of motivated engineers and scientists every year, Western Universities
have been reduced to little hippie factories, teaching about the wickedness of
the West and the blessings of barbarism. This represents a serious challenge to
the long-term economic competitiveness of Western nations. That’s bad, but it is
the least of our worries. Far worse than failing to compete with non-Muslim
Asians is failing to identify the threat from Islamic nations who want to subdue
us and wipe out our entire civilisation. That is a failure we quite simply
cannot live with. And we probably won’t, unless we manage to deal with it.

1. The Basics
a. The Five Pillars of Islam
The five pillars of Islam constitute the most basic tenets of the religion. They
are:
1.
Faith (iman) in the oneness of Allah and the finality of the prophethood of
Muhammad (indicated by the declaration [the Shahadah] that, "There is no God but
Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah").
2.
Keeping of the five scheduled daily prayers (salah).
3.
Almsgiving (zakat).
4.
Fasting (sawm).
5.
Pilgrimage (hajj) to Mecca for those who are able.
The five pillars in and of themselves do not tell us a lot about the faith or
what a Muslim is supposed to believe or how he should act. The second through
fifth pillars -- prayer, almsgiving, fasting, pilgrimage -- are aspects shared
by many religions. The finality of the prophethood of Muhammad, however, is
unique to Islam. To understand Islam and what it means to be a Muslim, we must
come to understand Muhammad as well as the revelations given through him by
Allah, which make up the Quran.
b. The Quran -- the Book of Allah
According to Islamic teaching, the Quran came down as a series of revelations
from Allah through the Archangel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad, who then
dictated it to his followers. Muhammad's companions memorised fragments of the
Quran and wrote them down on whatever was at hand, which were later compiled
into book form under the rule of the third Caliph, Uthman, some years after
Muhammad's death.
The Quran is about as long as the Christian New Testament. It comprises 114
suras (not to be confused with the Sira, which refers to the life of the
Prophet) of varying lengths, which may be considered chapters. According to
Islamic doctrine, it was around 610 AD in a cave near the city of Mecca (now in
southwest Saudi Arabia) that Muhammad received the first revelation from Allah
by way of the Archangel Gabriel. The revelation merely commanded Muhammad to
"recite" or "read" (Sura 96); the words he was instructed to utter were not his
own but Allah's. Over the next twelve or so years in Mecca, other revelations
came to Muhammad that constituted a message to the inhabitants of the city to
forsake their pagan ways and turn in worship to the one Allah.
While in Mecca, though he condemned paganism (for the most part), Muhammad
showed great respect for the monotheism of the Christian and Jewish inhabitants.
Indeed, the Allah of the Quran claimed to be the same God worshipped by Jews and
Christians, who now revealed himself to the Arab people through his chosen
messenger, Muhammad. It is the Quranic revelations that came later in Muhammad's
career, after he and the first Muslims left Mecca for the city of Medina, that
transformed Islam from a relatively benign form of monotheism into an
expansionary, military-political ideology that persists to this day.
Orthodox Islam does not accept that a rendering of the Quran into another
language is a "translation" in the way that, say, the King James Bible is a
translation of the original Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. A point often made by
Islamic apologists to defang criticism is that only Arabic readers may
understand the Quran. But Arabic is a language like any other and fully capable
of translation. Indeed, most Muslims are not Arabic readers. In the below
analysis, we use a translation of the Quran by two Muslim scholars, which may be
found here. All parenthetical explanations in the text are those of the
translators save for my interjections in braces, { }.
c. The Sunnah -- the "Way" of the Prophet Muhammad
In Islam, Muhammad is considered al-insan
al-kamil (the "ideal man"). Muhammad is in no way considered divine, nor is
he worshipped (no image of Muhammad is permitted lest it encourage idolatry),
but he is the model par excellence for all Muslims in how they should conduct
themselves. It is through Muhammad's personal teachings and actions -- which
make up the "way of the Prophet," the Sunnah -- that Muslims discern what a good
and holy life is. Details about the Prophet -- how he lived, what he did, his
non-Quranic utterances, his personal habits -- are indispensable knowledge for
any faithful Muslim.
Knowledge of the Sunnah comes primarily from the Hadith’s ("reports") about
Muhammad's life, which were passed down orally until codified in the eighth
century AD, some hundred years after Muhammad's death. The Hadith’s comprise the
most important body of Islamic texts after the Quran; they are basically a
collection of anecdotes about Muhammad's life believed to have originated with
those who knew him personally. There are thousands upon thousands of Hadith’s,
some running to multiple pages, some barely a few lines in length. When the
Hadith’s were first compiled in the eighth century AD, it became obvious that
many were inauthentic. The early Muslim scholars of Hadith spent tremendous
labour trying to determine which Hadith’s were authoritative and which were
suspect.
The Hadith’s here come exclusively from the most reliable and authoritative
collection, Sahih Al-Bukhari, recognised as sound by all schools of Islamic
scholarship, translated by a Muslim scholar and which may be found here.
Different translations of Hadith’s can vary in their breakdown of volume, book,
and number, but the content is the same. For each Hadith, the classifying
information is listed first, then the name of the originator of the Hadith
(generally someone who knew Muhammad personally), and then the content itself.
While the absolute authenticity of even a sound Hadith is hardly assured, they
are nonetheless accepted as authoritative within an Islamic context.
Because Muhammad is himself the measuring stick of morality, his actions are not
judged according to an independent moral standard but rather establish what the
standard for Muslims properly is.
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 88; Narrated Ursa: The Prophet wrote the (marriage
contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage
with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years
(i.e. till his death).
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 795; Narrated Anas: The Prophet cut off the hands and
feet of the men belonging to the tribe of Uraina and did not cauterise (their
bleeding limbs) till they died.
Volume 2, Book 23, Number 413; Narrated Abdullah bin Umar: The Jews {of Medina}
brought to the Prophet a man and a woman from amongst them who have committed
(adultery) illegal sexual intercourse. He ordered both of them to be stoned (to
death), near the place of offering the funeral prayers beside the mosque.
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 57; Narrated Ikrima: Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were
brought to Ali {the fourth Caliph} and he burnt them. The news of this event,
reached Ibn 'Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt
them, as Allah's Apostle forbade it, saying, "Do not punish anybody with Allah's
punishment (fire)." I would have killed them according to the statement of
Allah's Apostle, "Whoever changes his Islamic religion, then kill him."
Volume 1, Book 2, Number 25; Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle was asked,
"What is the best deed?" He replied, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle
(Muhammad). The questioner then asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" He
replied, "To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause."
In Islam, there is no "natural" sense of morality or justice that transcends the
specific examples and injunctions outlined in the Quran and the Sunnah. Because
Muhammad is considered Allah's final prophet and the Quran the eternal,
unalterable words of Allah himself, there is also no evolving morality that
permits the modification or integration of Islamic morality with that from other
sources. The entire Islamic moral universe devolves solely from the life and
teachings of Muhammad.
Along with the reliable Hadith’s, a further source of accepted knowledge about
Muhammad comes from the Sira (life) of the Prophet, composed by one of Islam's
great scholars, Muhammad bin Ishaq, in the eighth century AD.
Muhammad's prophetic career is meaningfully divided into two segments: the first
in Mecca, where he laboured for fourteen years to make converts to Islam; and
later in the city of Medina (The City of the Apostle of God), where he became a
powerful political and military leader. In Mecca, we see a quasi-Biblical
figure, preaching repentance and charity, harassed and rejected by those around
him; later, in Medina, we see an able commander and strategist who
systematically conquered and killed those who opposed him. It is the later years
of Muhammad's life, from 622 AD to his death in 632, that are rarely broached in
polite company. In 622, when the Prophet was better than fifty years old, he and
his followers made the Hijra (emigration or flight), from Mecca to the oasis of
Yathrib -- later renamed Medina -- some 200 miles to the north. Muhammad's new
monotheism had angered the pagan leaders of Mecca, and the flight to Medina was
precipitated by a probable attempt on Muhammad's life. Muhammad had sent
emissaries to Medina to ensure his welcome. He was accepted by the Medinan
tribes as the leader of the Muslims and as arbiter of inter-tribal disputes.
Shortly before Muhammad fled the hostility of Mecca, a new batch of Muslim
converts pledged their loyalty to him on a hill outside Mecca called Aqaba.
Ishaq here conveys in the Sira the significance of this event:
Sira, p208: When God gave permission to his Apostle to fight, the second {oath
of allegiance at} Aqaba contained conditions involving war which were not in the
first act of fealty. Now they {Muhammad's followers} bound themselves to war
against all and sundry for God and his Apostle, while he promised them for
faithful service thus the reward of paradise.
That Muhammad's nascent religion underwent a significant change at this point is
plain. The scholarly Ishaq clearly intends to impress on his (Muslim) readers
that, while in its early years, Islam was a relatively tolerant creed that would
"endure insult and forgive the ignorant," Allah soon required Muslims "to war
against all and sundry for God and his Apostle." The Islamic calendar testifies
to the paramouncy of the Hijra by setting year one from the date of its
occurrence. The year of the Hijra, 622 AD, is considered more significant than
the year of Muhammad's birth or death or that of the first Quranic revelation
because Islam is first and foremost a political-military enterprise. It was only
when Muhammad left Mecca with his paramilitary band that Islam achieved its
proper political-military articulation. The years of the Islamic calendar (which
employs lunar months) are designated in English "AH" or "After Hijra."
i. The Battle of Badr
The Battle of Badr was the first significant engagement fought by the Prophet.
Upon establishing himself in Medina following the Hijra, Muhammad began a series
of razzias (raids) on caravans of the Meccan Quraish tribe on the route to
Syria.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 287; Narrated Kab bin Malik: The Apostle had gone out
to meet the caravans of Quraish, but Allah caused them (i.e. Muslims) to meet
their enemy unexpectedly (with no previous intention).
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 289; Narrated Ibn Abbas: On the day of the battle of
Badr, the Prophet said, "O Allah! I appeal to You (to fulfill) Your Covenant and
Promise. O Allah! If Your Will is that none should worship You (then give
victory to the pagans)." Then Abu Bakr took hold of him by the hand and said,
"This is sufficient for you." The Prophet came out saying, "Their multitude will
be put to flight and they will show their backs." (54:45)
Having returned to Medina after the battle, Muhammad admonished the resident
Jewish tribe of Qaynuqa to accept Islam or face a similar fate as the Quraish
(3:12-13). The Qaynuqa agreed to leave Medina if they could retain their
property, which Muhammad granted. Following the exile of the Bani Qaynuqa,
Muhammad turned to individuals in Medina he considered to have acted
treacherously. The Prophet particularly seems to have disliked the many poets
who ridiculed his new religion and his claim to prophethood -- a theme evident
today in the violent reactions of Muslims to any perceived mockery of Islam. In
taking action against his opponents, "the ideal man" set precedents for all time
as to how Muslims should deal with detractors of their religion.
Sira, p367: Then he {Kab bin al-Ashraf} composed amatory verses of an insulting
nature about the Muslim women. The Apostle said: "Who will rid me of
Ibnul-Ashraf?" Muhammad bin Maslama, brother of the Bani Abdu'l-Ashhal, said, "I
will deal with him for you, O Apostle of God, I will kill him." He said, "Do so
if you can." "All that is incumbent upon you is that you should try" {said the
Prophet to Muhammad bin Maslama}. He said, "O Apostle of God, we shall have to
tell lies." He {the Prophet} answered, "Say what you like, for you are free in
the matter."
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 270; Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: The Prophet said,
"Who is ready to kill Kab bin Al-Ashraf who has really hurt Allah and His
Apostle?" Muhammad bin Maslama said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do you like me to kill
him?" He replied in the affirmative. So, Muhammad bin Maslama went to him (i.e.
Kab) and said, "This person (i.e. the Prophet) has put us to task and asked us
for charity." Kab replied, "By Allah, you will get tired of him." Muhammad said
to him, "We have followed him, so we dislike to leave him till we see the end of
his affair." Muhammad bin Maslama went on talking to him in this way till he got
the chance to kill him.
A significant portion of the Sira is devoted to poetry composed by Muhammad's
followers and his enemies in rhetorical duels that mirrored those in the field.
There seems to have been an informal competition in aggrandising oneself, one's
tribe, and one's God while ridiculing one's adversary in eloquent and memorable
ways. Kab bin Malik, one of the assassins of his brother, Kab bin al-Ashraf,
composed the following:
Sira, p368: Kab bin Malik said: Of them Kab was left prostrate there (After his
fall {the Jewish tribe of} al-Nadir were brought low). Sword in hand we cut him
down By Muhammad's order when he sent secretly by night Kab's brother to go to
Kab. He beguiled him and brought him down with guile Mahmud was trustworthy,
bold.
ii. The Battle of Uhud
The Meccan Quraish regrouped for an attack on the Muslims at Medina. Muhammad
got wind of the Meccan force coming to attack him and encamped his forces on a
small hillock north of Medina named Uhud, where the ensuing battle took place.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 377; Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah: On the day of the
battle of Uhud, a man came to the Prophet and said, "Can you tell me where I
will be if I should get martyred?" The Prophet replied, "In Paradise." The man
threw away some dates he was carrying in his hand, and fought till he was
martyred.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 375; Narrated Al-Bara: when we faced the enemy, they
took to their heel till I saw their women running towards the mountain, lifting
up their clothes from their legs, revealing their leg-bangles. The Muslims
started saying, "The booty, the booty!" Abdullah bin Jubair said, "The Prophet
had taken a firm promise from me not to leave this place." But his companions
refused (to stay). So when they refused (to stay there), (Allah) confused them
so that they could not know where to go, and they suffered seventy casualties.
Though deprived of victory at Uhud, Muhammad was by no means vanquished. He
continued making raids that made being a Muslim not only virtuous in the eyes of
Allah but lucrative as well. In an Islamic worldview, there is no
incompatibility between wealth, power, and holiness. Indeed, as a member of the
true faith, it is only logical that one should also enjoy the material bounty of
Allah -- even if that means plundering it from infidels.
As Muhammad had neutralised the Jewish tribe of Bani Qaynuqa after Badr, he now
turned to the Bani Nadir after Uhud. According to the Sira, Allah warned
Muhammad of an attempt to assassinate him, and the Prophet ordered the Muslims
to prepare for war against the Bani Nadir. The Bani Nadir agreed to go into
exile if Muhammad permitted them to retain their movable property. Muhammad
agreed to these terms save that they leave behind their armour.
iii. The Battle of Medina
In 627 AD, Muhammad faced the greatest challenge to his new community. In that
year, the Quraish of Mecca made their most determined attack on the Muslims at
Medina itself. Muhammad thought it advisable not to engage them in a pitched
battle as at Uhud but took shelter in Medina, protected as it was by lava flows
on three sides. The Meccans would have to attack from the northwest in a valley
between the flows, and it was there that Muhammad ordered a trench dug for the
city's defence.
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 208; Narrated Anas: On the day (of the battle) of the
Trench, the Ansar {new converts to Islam} were saying, "We are those who have
sworn allegiance to Muhammad for Jihad (for ever) as long as we live." The
Prophet replied to them, "O Allah! There is no life except the life of the
Hereafter. So honour the Ansar and emigrants {from Mecca} with Your Generosity."
And Narrated Mujashi: My brother and I came to the Prophet and I requested him
to take the pledge of allegiance from us for migration. He said, "Migration has
passed away with its people." I asked, "For what will you take the pledge of
allegiance from us then?" He said, "I will take (the pledge) for Islam and
Jihad."
The Meccans were foiled by the trench and only able to send small raiding
parties across it. After several days, they turned back for Mecca. Following his
victory, Muhammad turned to the third Jewish tribe at Medina, the Bani Quraiza.
While the Bani Qaynuqa and Bani Nadir had suffered exile, the fate of the Bani
Quraiza would be considerably more dire.
Sira, p463-4: Then they {the tribe of Quraiza} surrendered, and the apostle
confined them in Medina in the quarter of d. al-Harith, a woman of Bani
al-Najjar. Then the apostle went out to the market of Medina and dug trenches in
it. Then he sent for them and struck off their heads in those trenches as they
were brought out to him in batches. Among them was the enemy of Allah Huyayy bin
Akhtab and Kab bin Asad their chief. There were 600 or 700 in all, though some
put the figure as high as 800 or 900. As they were being taken out in batches to
the Apostle they asked Kab what he thought would be done with them. He replied,
"Will you never understand? Don't you see that the summoner never stops and
those who are taken away do not return? By Allah it is death!" This went on
until the Apostle made an end of them.
Thus do we find the clear precedent that explains the peculiar penchant of
Islamic terrorists to behead their victims: it is merely another precedent
bestowed by their Prophet.
Following yet another of the Muslims' raids, this time on a place called
Khaibar, "The women of Khaibar were distributed among the Muslims" as was usual
practice. (Sira, p511) The raid at Khaibar had been against the Bani Nadir, whom
Muhammad had earlier exiled from Medina.
Sira, p515: Kinana bin al-Rabi, who had the custody of the treasure of Bani
al-Nadir, was brought to the Apostle who asked him about it. He denied that he
knew where it was. A Jew came to the Apostle and said that he had seen Kinana
going round a certain ruin every morning early. When the Apostle said to Kinana,
"Do you know that if we find you have it I shall kill you?" he said, Yes. The
Apostle gave orders that the ruin was to be excavated and some of the treasure
was found. When he asked him about the rest he refused to produce it, so the
Apostle gave orders to al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam, "Torture him until you extract
what he has," so he kindled a fire with flint and steel on his chest until he
was nearly dead. Then the Apostle delivered him to Muhammad bin Maslama and he
struck off his head, in revenge for his brother Mahmud.
iv. The Conquest of Mecca
Muhammad's greatest victory came in 632 AD, ten years after he and his followers
had been forced to flee to Medina. In that year, he assembled a force of some
ten thousand Muslims and allied tribes and descended on Mecca. "The Apostle had
instructed his commanders when they entered Mecca only to fight those who
resisted them, except a small number who were to be killed even if they were
found beneath the curtains of the Kaba." (Sira, p550)
Volume 3, Book 29, Number 72; Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle entered
Mecca in the year of its Conquest wearing an Arabian helmet on his head and when
the Prophet took it off, a person came and said, "Ibn Khatal is holding the
covering of the Kaba (taking refuge in the Kaba)." The Prophet said, "Kill him."
Following the conquest of Mecca, Muhammad outlined the future of his religion.
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177; Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The
Hour {of the Last Judgment} will not be established until you fight with the
Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There
is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24; Narrated Ibn Umar: Allah's Apostle said: "I have
been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none
has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle,
and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they
perform that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic
laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."
It is from such warlike pronouncements as these that Islamic scholarship divides
the world into dar al-Islam (the House of Islam, i.e., those nations who have
submitted to Allah) and dar al-harb (the House of War, i.e., those who have
not). It is this dispensation that the world lived under in Muhammad's time and
that it lives under today. Then as now, Islam's message to the unbelieving world
is the same: submit or be conquered.
d. Sharia Law
Unlike many religions, Islam includes a mandatory and highly specific legal and
political plan for society called Sharia, which translates approximately as
"way" or "path." The precepts of Sharia are derived from the commandments of the
Quran and the Sunnah (the teachings and precedents of Muhammad as found in the
reliable Hadith’s and the Sira). Together, the Quran and the Sunnah establish
the dictates of Sharia, which is the blueprint for the good Islamic society.
Because Sharia originates with the Quran and the Sunnah, it is not optional.
Sharia is the legal code ordained by Allah for all mankind. To violate Sharia or
not to accept its authority is to commit rebellion against Allah, which Allah's
faithful are required to combat.
There is no separation between the religious and the political in Islam; rather
Islam and Sharia constitute a comprehensive means of ordering society at every
level. While it is in theory possible for an Islamic society to have different
outward forms -- an elective system of government, a hereditary monarchy, etc.
-- whatever the outward structure of the government, Sharia is the prescribed
content. It is this fact that puts Sharia into conflict with forms of government
based on anything other than the Quran and the Sunnah.
The precepts of Sharia may be divided into two parts:
1.
Acts of worship (al-ibadat), which includes:
Ritual Purification (Wudu)
Prayers (Salah)
Fasts (Sawm and Ramadan)
Charity (Zakat)
Pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj)
2.
Human interaction (al-muamalat), which includes:
Financial transactions
Endowments
Laws of inheritance
Marriage, divorce, and child care
Food and drink (including ritual slaughtering and hunting)
Penal punishments
War and peace
Judicial matters (including witnesses and forms of evidence)
As one may see, there are few aspects of life that Sharia does not specifically
govern. Everything from washing one's hands to child-rearing to taxation to
military policy falls under its dictates. Because Sharia is derivate of the
Quran and the Sunnah, it affords some room for interpretation. But upon
examination of the Islamic sources (see above), it is apparent that any
meaningful application of Sharia is going to look very different from anything
resembling a free or open society in the Western sense. The stoning of
adulterers, execution of apostates and blasphemers, repression of other
religions, and a mandatory hostility toward non-Islamic nations punctuated by
regular warfare will be the norm. It seems fair then to classify Islam and its
Sharia code as a form of totalitarianism.
2. Jihad and Dhimmitude
a. What does "Jihad" mean?
Jihad literally translates as "struggle." Strictly speaking, jihad does not mean
"holy war" as Muslim apologists often point out. However, the question remains
as to what sort of "struggle" is meant: an inner, spiritual struggle against the
passions, or an outward, physical struggle.
As in any case of trying to determine Islamic teaching on a particular matter,
one must look to the Quran and the Sunnah. From those sources (see above) it is
evident that a Muslim is required to struggle against a variety of things:
laziness in prayer, neglecting to give zakat (alms), etc. But is it also plain
that a Muslim is commanded to struggle in physical combat against the infidel as
well. Muhammad's impressive military career attests to the central role that
military action plays in Islam.
b. Hasan Al-Banna on jihad
Below are excerpts from Hasan Al-Banna's treatise, Jihad. In 1928, Al-Banna
founded the Muslim Brotherhood, which today is the most powerful organisation in
Egypt after the government itself. In this treatise, Al-Banna cogently argues
that Muslims must take up arms against unbelievers. As he says, "The verses of
the Qur'an and the Sunnah summon people in general (with the most eloquent
expression and the clearest exposition) to jihad, to warfare, to the armed
forces, and all means of land and sea fighting."
All Muslims Must Make Jihad
Jihad is an obligation from Allah on every Muslim and cannot be ignored nor
evaded. Allah has ascribed great importance to jihad and has made the reward of
the martyrs and the fighters in His way a splendid one. Only those who have
acted similarly and who have modelled themselves upon the martyrs in their
performance of jihad can join them in this reward. Furthermore, Allah has
specifically honoured the Mujahideen {those who wage jihad} with certain
exceptional qualities, both spiritual and practical, to benefit them in this
world and the next. Their pure blood is a symbol of victory in this world and
the mark of success and felicity in the world to come.
Those who can only find excuses, however, have been warned of extremely dreadful
punishments and Allah has described them with the most unfortunate of names. He
has reprimanded them for their cowardice and lack of spirit, and castigated them
for their weakness and truancy. In this world, they will be surrounded by
dishonour and in the next they will be surrounded by the fire from which they
shall not escape though they may possess much wealth. The weaknesses of
abstention and evasion of jihad are regarded by Allah as one of the major sins,
and one of the seven sins that guarantee failure.
Islam is concerned with the question of jihad and the drafting and the
mobilisation of the entire Ummah {the global Muslim community} into one body to
defend the right cause with all its strength than any other ancient or modern
system of living, whether religious or civil. The verses of the Qur'an and the
Sunnah of Muhammad (PBUH {Peace Be Unto Him}) are overflowing with all these
noble ideals and they summon people in general (with the most eloquent
expression and the clearest exposition) to jihad, to warfare, to the armed
forces, and all means of land and sea fighting.
Here Al-Banna offers citations from the Quran and the reliable Hadith’s that
demonstrate the necessity of combat for Muslims. The citations are comparable to
those included in Islam 101 section 1b and are here omitted.
The Scholars on Jihad
I have just presented to you some verses from the Qur'an and the Noble Ahadith
concerning the importance of jihad. Now I would like to present to you some of
the opinions from jurisprudence of the Islamic Schools of Thought including some
latter day authorities regarding the rules of jihad and the necessity for
preparedness. From this we will come to realise how far the ummah has deviated
in its practice of Islam as can be seen from the consensus of its scholars on
the question of jihad.
The author of the 'Majma' al-Anhar fi Sharh Multaqal-Abhar', in describing the
rules of jihad according to the Hanafi School, said: 'Jihad linguistically means
to exert one's utmost effort in word and action; in the Sharee'ah {Sharia --
Islamic law} it is the fighting of the unbelievers, and involves all possible
efforts that are necessary to dismantle the power of the enemies of Islam
including beating them, plundering their wealth, destroying their places of
worship and smashing their idols. This means that jihad is to strive to the
utmost to ensure the strength of Islam by such means as fighting those who fight
you and the dhimmies {non-Muslims living under Islamic rule} (if they violate
any of the terms of the treaty) and the apostates (who are the worst of
unbelievers, for they disbelieved after they have affirmed their belief).
It is fard (obligatory) on us to fight with the enemies. The Imam must send a
military expedition to the Dar-al-Harb {House of War -- the non-Muslim world}
every year at least once or twice, and the people must support him in this. If
some of the people fulfill the obligation, the remainder are released from the
obligation. If this fard kifayah (communal obligation) cannot be fulfilled by
that group, then the responsibility lies with the closest adjacent group, and
then the closest after that etc., and if the fard kifayah cannot be fulfilled
except by all the people, it then becomes a fard 'ayn (individual obligation),
like prayer on everyone of the people.
The scholarly people are of one opinion on this matter as should be evident and
this is irrespective of whether these scholars were Mujtahideen or Muqalideen
and it is irrespective of whether these scholars were salaf (early) or khalaf
(late). They all agreed unanimously that jihad is a fard kifayah imposed upon
the Islamic ummah in order to spread the Da'wah of Islam, and that jihad is a
fard 'ayn if an enemy attacks Muslim lands. Today, my brother, the Muslims as
you know are forced to be subservient before others and are ruled by
disbelievers. Our lands have been besieged, and our hurruma'at (personal
possessions, respect, honour, dignity and privacy) violated. Our enemies are
overlooking our affairs, and the rites of our din are under their jurisdiction.
Yet still the Muslims fail to fulfill the responsibility of Da'wah that is on
their shoulders. Hence in this situation it becomes the duty of each and every
Muslim to make jihad. He should prepare himself mentally and physically such
that when comes the decision of Allah, he will be ready.
I should not finish this discussion without mentioning to you that the Muslims,
throughout every period of their history (before the present period of
oppression in which their dignity has been lost) have never abandoned jihad nor
did they ever become negligent in its performance, not even their religious
authorities, mystics, craftsmen, etc. They were all always ready and prepared.
For example, Abdullah ibn al Mubarak, a very learned and pious man, was a
volunteer in jihad for most of his life, and 'Abdulwahid bin Zayd, a sufi and a
devout man, was the same. And in his time, Shaqiq al Balkhi, the shaykh of the
sufis encouraged his pupils towards jihad.
Associated Matters Concerning Jihad
Many Muslims today mistakenly believe that fighting the enemy is jihad asghar (a
lesser jihad) and that fighting one's ego is jihad akbar (a greater jihad). The
following narration [athar] is quoted as proof: "We have returned from the
lesser jihad to embark on the greater jihad." They said: "What is the greater
jihad?" He said: "The jihad of the heart, or the jihad against one's ego."
This narration is used by some to lessen the importance of fighting, to
discourage any preparation for combat, and to deter any offering of jihad in
Allah's way. This narration is not a saheeh (sound) tradition: The prominent
muhaddith Al Hafiz ibn Hajar al-Asqalani said in the Tasdid al-Qaws:
'It is well known and often repeated, and was a saying of Ibrahim ibn 'Abla.'
Al Hafiz Al Iraqi said in the Takhrij Ahadith al-Ahya':
'Al Bayhaqi transmitted it with a weak chain of narrators on the authority of
Jabir, and Al Khatib transmitted it in his history on the authority of Jabir.'
Nevertheless, even if it were a sound tradition, it would never warrant
abandoning jihad or preparing for it in order to rescue the territories of the
Muslims and repel the attacks of the disbelievers. Let it be known that this
narration simply emphasises the importance of struggling against one's ego so
that Allah will be the sole purpose of everyone of our actions.
Other associated matters concerning jihad include commanding the good and
forbidding the evil. It is said in the Hadeeth: "One of the greatest forms of
jihad is to utter a word of truth in the presence of a tyrannical ruler." But
nothing compares to the honour of shahadah kubra (the supreme martyrdom) or the
reward that is waiting for the Mujahideen.
Epilogue
My brothers! The ummah that knows how to die a noble and honourable death is
granted an exalted life in this world and eternal felicity in the next.
Degradation and dishonour are the results of the love of this world and the fear
of death. Therefore prepare for jihad and be the lovers of death. Life itself
shall come searching after you.
My brothers, you should know that one day you will face death and this ominous
event can only occur once. If you suffer on this occasion in the way of Allah,
it will be to your benefit in this world and your reward in the next. And
remember brother that nothing can happen without the Will of Allah: ponder well
what Allah, the Blessed, the Almighty, has said:
'Then after the distress, He sent down security for you. Slumber overtook a
party of you, while another party was thinking about themselves (as to how to
save themselves, ignoring the others and the Prophet) and thought wrongly of
Allah - the thought of ignorance. They said, "Have we any part in the affair?"
Say you (O Muhammad): "Indeed the affair belongs wholly to Allah." They hide
within themselves what they dare not reveal to you, saying: "If we had anything
to do with the affair, none of us would have been killed here." Say: "Even if
you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was decreed would certainly
have gone forth to the place of their death: but that Allah might test what is
in your hearts; and to purify that which was in your hearts (sins), and Allah is
All-Knower of what is in (your) hearts."' {Sura 3:154}
c. Dar al-Islam and dar al-harb: the House of Islam and the House of War
The violent injunctions of the Quran and the violent precedents set by Muhammad
set the tone for the Islamic view of politics and of world history. Islamic
scholarship divides the world into two spheres of influence, the House of Islam
(dar al-Islam) and the House of War (dar al-harb). Islam means submission, and
so the House of Islam includes those nations that have submitted to Islamic
rule, which is to say those nations ruled by Sharia law. The rest of the world,
which has not accepted Sharia law and so is not in a state of submission, exists
in a state of rebellion or war with the will of Allah. It is incumbent on dar
al-Islam to make war upon dar al-harb until such time that all nations submit to
the will of Allah and accept Sharia law. Islam's message to the non-Muslim world
is the same now as it was in the time of Muhammad and throughout history: submit
or be conquered. The only times since Muhammad when dar al-Islam was not
actively at war with dar al-harb were when the Muslim world was too weak or
divided to make war effectively.
But the lulls in the ongoing war that the House of Islam has declared against
the House of War do not indicate a forsaking of jihad as a principle but reflect
a change in strategic factors. It is acceptable for Muslim nations to declare
hudna, or truce, at times when the infidel nations are too powerful for open
warfare to make sense. Jihad is not a collective suicide pact even while
"killing and being killed" (Sura 9:111) is encouraged on an individual level.
For the past few hundred years, the Muslim world has been too politically
fragmented and technologically inferior to pose a major threat to the West. But
that is changing.
Due to the state of war between dar al-Islam and dar al-harb, systematic lying
to the infidel must be considered part and parcel of Islamic tactics. The
parroting by Muslim organisations throughout dar al-harb that "Islam is a
religion of peace," or that the origins of Muslim violence lie in the unbalanced
psyches of particular individual "fanatics," must be considered as
disinformation intended to induce the infidel world to let down its guard. Of
course, individual Muslims may genuinely regard their religion as "peaceful",
but only insofar as they are ignorant of its true teachings, or in the sense of
the Egyptian theorist Sayyid Qutb, who posited in his Islam and Universal Peace
that true peace would prevail in the world just as soon as Islam had conquered
it.
A telling point is that, while Muslims who present their religion as peaceful
abound throughout dar al-harb, they are nearly non-existent in dar al-Islam. A
Muslim apostate once suggested to me a litmus test for Westerners who believe
that Islam is a religion of "peace" and "tolerance": try making that point on a
street corner in Ramallah, or Riyadh, or Islamabad, or anywhere in the Muslim
world. He assured me you wouldn't live five minutes.
{A} problem concerning law and order {with respect to Muslims in dar al-harb}
arises from an ancient Islamic legal principle -- that of taqiyya, a word the
root meaning of which is "to remain faithful" but which in effect means
"dissimulation." It has full Quranic authority (3:28 and 16:106) and allows the
Muslim to conform outwardly to the requirements of un-Islamic or non-Islamic
government, while inwardly "remaining faithful" to whatever he conceives to be
proper Islam, while waiting for the tide to turn. (Hiskett, Some to Mecca Turn
to Pray, 101.)
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 269; Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: The Prophet said,
"War is deceit."
Historically, examples of al-taqiyya include permission to renounce Islam itself
in order to save one's neck or ingratiate oneself with an enemy. It is not hard
to see that the implications of taqiyya are insidious in the extreme: they
essentially render negotiated settlement -- and, indeed, all veracious
communication between dar al-Islam and dar al-harb -- impossible. It should not,
however, be surprising that a party to a war should seek to mislead the other
about its means and intentions. Jihad Watch's own Hugh Fitzgerald sums up
taqiyya and kitman, a related form of deception.
"Taqiyya" is the religiously-sanctioned doctrine, with its origins in Shi'a
Islam but now practiced by non-Shi'a as well, of deliberate dissimulation about
religious matters that may be undertaken to protect Islam, and the Believers. A
related term, of broader application, is "kitman," which is defined as "mental
reservation." An example of "Taqiyya" would be the insistence of a Muslim
apologist that "of course" there is freedom of conscience in Islam, and then
quoting that Qur'anic verse -- "There shall be no compulsion in religion."
{2:256} But the impression given will be false, for there has been no mention of
the Muslim doctrine of abrogation, or naskh, whereby such an early verse as that
about "no compulsion in religion" has been cancelled out by later, far more
intolerant and malevolent verses. In any case, history shows that within Islam
there is, and always has been, "compulsion in religion" for Muslims, and for
non-Muslims.
"Kitman" is close to "taqiyya," but rather than outright dissimulation, it
consists in telling only a part of the truth, with "mental reservation"
justifying the omission of the rest. One example may suffice. When a Muslim
maintains that "jihad" really means "a spiritual struggle," and fails to add
that this definition is a recent one in Islam (little more than a century old),
he misleads by holding back, and is practicing "kitman." When he adduces, in
support of this doubtful proposition, the hadith in which Muhammad, returning
home from one of his many battles, is reported to have said (as known from a
chain of transmitters, or isnad), that he had returned from "the Lesser Jihad to
the Greater Jihad" and does not add what he also knows to be true, that this is
a "weak" hadith, regarded by the most-respected muhaddithin as of doubtful
authenticity, he is further practicing "kitman."
In times when the greater strength of dar al-harb necessitates that the jihad
take an indirect approach, the natural attitude of a Muslim to the infidel world
must be one of deception and omission. Revealing frankly the ultimate goal of
dar al-Islam to conquer and plunder dar al-harb when the latter holds the
military trump cards would be strategic idiocy. Fortunately for the jihadists,
most infidels do not understand how one is to read the Quran, nor do they
trouble themselves to find out what Muhammad actually did and taught, which
makes it easy to give the impression through selective quotations and omissions
that "Islam is a religion of peace." Any infidel who wants to believe such
fiction will happily persist in his mistake having been cited a handful of
Meccan verses and told that Muhammad was a man of great piety and charity.
Digging only slightly deeper is sufficient to dispel the falsehood.
ii. How al-Taqiyya is a central part of the Islamisation of Europe
The following article will demonstrate that the concept of "al-Taqiyya" is an
integral part of Islam, and that it is NOT a Shi'ite concoction. I had to
shorten the analysis considerably. You can however see sources for more
material.
The word "al-Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing or disguising one's beliefs,
convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies at a time of eminent
danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical and/or
mental injury." A one-word
translation would be "Dissimulation."
Rejecting al-Taqiyya is rejecting the Quran, as will be shown:
Reference 1:
-----------
Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti in his book, "al-Durr al-Manthoor Fi al-Tafsir
al-Ma'athoor," narrates Ibn Abbas', the most renowned and trusted narrator of
tradition in the sight of the Sunnis, opinion regarding al-Taqiyya in the
Quranic verse: "Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers
rather than believers: if any do that, (they) shall have no relation left with
Allah except by way of precaution ("tat-taqooh"), that ye may guard yourselves
("tooqatan") from them....[3:28]" that Ibn Abbas said:
"al-Taqiyya is with the tongue only; he who has been coerced into saying that
which angers Allah, and his heart is comfortable (i.e., his true faith has not
been shaken.), then (saying that which he has been coerced to say) will not harm
him (at all); (because) al-Taqiyya is with the tongue only, (not the heart)."
NOTE 1: The two words "tat-taqooh" and "tooqatan," as mentioned in the Arabic
Quran, are both from the same root of "al-Taqiyya."
NOTE 2: The "heart" as referred to above and in later occurrences refers to the
center of faith in an individual's existence.
It is mentioned many times in the Quran.
Reference 2:
-----------
Ibn Abbas also commented on the above verse, as narrated in Sunan al-Bayhaqi and
Mustadrak al-Hakim, by saying:
"al-Taqiyya is the uttering of the tongue, while the heart is comfortable with
faith."
NOTE: The meaning is that the tongue is permitted to utter anything in a time of
need, as long as the heart is not affected; and one is still comfortable with
faith.
Reference 3:
-----------
Abu Bakr al-Razi in his book, "Ahkam al-Quran," v2, p10, has explained the
aforementioned verse "...except by way of precaution ("tat-taqooh"), that ye may
guard yourselves ("tooqatan") from them....[3:28]" by affirming that al-Taqiyya
should be used when one is afraid for life and/or limb.
In addition, he has narrated that Qutadah said with regards to the above
verse:
"It is permissible to speak words of unbelief when al-Taqiyya is mandatory."
Reference 4:
-----------
It has been narrated by Abd al-Razak, Ibn Sa'd, Ibn Jarir, Ibn Abi Hatim, Ibn
Mardawayh, al-Bayhaqi in his book "al- Dala-il," and it was corrected by
al-Hakim in his book "al- Mustadrak" that:
"The non-believers arrested `Ammar Ibn Yasir and (tortured him until) he uttered
foul words about Muhammad, and praised their gods (idols); and when they
released him, he went straight to the Prophet.
The Prophet said: "Is there something on your mind?"
`Ammar Ibn Yasir said: "Bad (news)! They would not release me until I
defamed you and praised their gods!"
The Prophet said: "How do you find your heart to be?" `Ammar answered:
"Comfortable with faith." So the
Prophet said: "Then if they come back for you, then do the same thing all over
again." Allah at that moment
revealed the verse: "....except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in
faith...[16:106]"
NOTE: The full verse that was quoted partially as part of the tradition above,
is: "Anyone who, after accepting Faith in Allah, utters unbelief, except under
compulsion, his heart remaining firm in faith -- but such as open their breast
to unbelief, -- on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful
Chastisement [16:106]." (Emphasis Mine)
Reference 5:
-----------
It is narrated in Sunan al-Bayhaqi that Ibn Abbas explained the above verse
"Anyone who, after accepting Faith in Allah, utters unbelief....[16:106]" by
saying:
"The meaning that Allah is conveying is that he who utters unbelief after having
believed, shall deserve the Wrath of Allah and a terrible punishment.
However, those who have been coerced, and as such uttered with their
tongues that which their hearts did not confirm to escape persecution, have
nothing to fear; for Allah holds His servants responsible for that which their
hearts have ratified."

Another explanation of the above verse is provided by Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti in
his book, "al-Durr al-Manthoor Fi al- Tafsir al-Ma-athoor," vol. 2, p178; he
says:
"Ibn Abi Shaybah, Ibn Jarir, Ibn Munzir, and Ibn Abi Hatim narrated on the
authority of Mujtahid (a man's name) that this verse was revealed in relation to
the following event: A group of people from Mecca accepted Islam and professed
their belief; as a result, the companions in Medina wrote to them requesting
that they emigrate to Medina; for if they don't do so, they shall not be
considered as those who are among the believers.
In compliance, the group left Mecca, but were soon ambushed by the
non-believers (Quraish) before reaching their destination; they were coerced
into disbelief, and they professed it.
As a result, the verse "...except under compulsion, his heart remaining
firm in faith [16:106]..." was revealed."
Reference 7:
-----------
Ibn Sa'd in his book, "al-Tabaqat al-Kubra," narrates on the authority of Ibn
Sirin that:
The Prophet saw `Ammar Ibn Yasir crying, so he wiped off his (RA) tears, and
said: "The non-believers arrested you and immersed you in water until you said
such and such (i.e., bad-mouthing the Prophet and praising the pagan gods to
escape persecution); if they come back, then say it again."
Reference 8:
-----------
It is narrated in al-Sirah al-Halabiyyah, v3, p61, that:
After the conquest of the city of Khaybar by the Muslims, the Prophet was
approached by Hajaj Ibn`Aalat and told: "O Prophet of Allah: I have in Mecca
some excess wealth and some relatives, and I would like to have them back; am I
excused if I bad-mouth you (to escape persecution)?"
The Prophet excused him and said: "Say whatever you have to say."
Reference 9:
-----------
It is narrated by al-Ghazzali in his book, "Ihya `Uloom al-Din," that:
Safeguarding of a Muslim's life is a mandatory obligation that should be
observed; and that lying is permissible when the shedding of a Muslim's blood is
at stake.
Reference 10:
------------
Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti in his book, "al-Ashbah Wa al-Naza'ir," affirms that:
"it is acceptable (for a Muslim) to eat the meat of a dead animal at a time of
great hunger (starvation to the extent that the stomach is devoid of all food);
and to loosen a bite of food (for fear of choking to death) by alcohol; and to
utter words of unbelief; and if one is living in an environment where evil and
corruption are the pervasive norm, and permissible things (Halal) are the
exception and a rarity, then one can utilise whatever is available to fulfill
his needs."
NOTE: The reference to the consumption of a dead animal is meant to illustrate
that even forbidden things become permissible in a time of need.
Reference 11:
------------
Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti in his book, "al-Durr al-Manthoor Fi al-Tafsir al-
Ma'athoor," v2, p176, narrates that:

until the Day of Judgment."

Narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari, v7, p81, that the Prophet said:
"O `Aisha, the worst of people in the sight of Allah are those that are avoided

NOTE: The meaning here is that one is permitted to use deception to get
along with people. The above tradition was narrated when a person sought
permission to see the Holy Prophet and prior to his asking permission the
Prophet said that he was not a good man, but still I shall see him. The Prophet
talked to the person with utmost respect, upon which Aisha inquired as to why
the Prophet talked to the person with respect despite his character, upon which
the above reply was rendered.

allegiance to Allah's Apostle, as saying that she heard Allah's Messenger as
saying: A liar is not one who tries to bring reconciliation amongst people and
speaks good (in order to avert dispute), or he conveys good.
Ibn Shihab said he did not hear that exemption was granted in anything
what the people speak as lie but in three cases: in battle, when infiltrating
the enemy and for bringing temporary reconciliation amongst persons.

Al-Taqiyya vs. Hypocrisy [2]
Some people have fallen victim to confusing al-Taqiyya with hypocrisy, when in
fact they (al-Taqiyya and Hypocrisy) are two opposite extremes.
Al-Taqiyya is concealing faith and displaying non-belief; while Hypocrisy
is the concealment of unbelief and the display of belief.
They are total opposites in function, form, and meaning.
The Quran reveals the nature of hypocrisy with the following verse:
"When they meet those who believe, they say: `We Believe;' but when they are
alone with their evil ones, they say: `We are really with you, we (were) only
jesting [2:14]."
The Quran then reveals al-Taqiyya with the following verses:
"A Believer, a man from among the people of Pharaoh, who had concealed his
faith, said: "Will ye slay a man because he says,`My Lord is Allah'?....[40:28]"
Also:
"Anyone who, after accepting Faith in Allah, utters unbelief, except under
compulsion, his heart remaining firm in faith -- but such as open their breast
to unbelief, -- on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful
Chastisement [16:106]."
And also:
"Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than
believers: if any do that, (they) shall have no relation left with Allah except
by way of precaution ("tat-taqooh"), that ye may guard yourselves ("tooqatan")
from them....[3:28]"
Moreover:
And when Moses returned unto his people, angry and grieved, he said: Evil is
that (course) which ye took after I had left you. Would ye hasten on the
judgment of your Lord? And he cast down the tablets, and he seized his brother
by the head, dragging him toward him. (Aaron) said: "Son of my mother! Lo!
People did oppress me and they were about to kill me. Make not the enemies
neither rejoice over my misfortune nor count thou me amongst the sinful people.
[7:150]"
Now, we see that Allah himself has stated that one of His faithful servants
CONCEALED his faith and pretended that he was a follower of the Pharaoh's
religion to escape persecution. We also see that Prophet Aaron (Haroon) observed
Taqiyya when his life was in danger. We also observe that al-Taqiyya is CLEARLY
permitted in a time of need. In fact, the Book of Allah instructs us that we
should escape a situation which causes our destruction for nothing:
"and make not
your own hands contribute to your destruction [2:195]"
Reason and Logic for performing al-Taqiyya
Aside from the instructions of the Quran and Hadith on the permissibility and
necessity of Taqiyya, such necessity can also be derived from a logical and
rational standpoint. It is apparent
to any discerning observer that Allah has bestowed upon His creation certain
defence mechanisms and instincts to protect themselves from impending danger.
What follows are some examples that serve to illustrate the above point.
It is clear that al-Taqiyya as a defence or attack mechanism is Allah's mercy to
His creation, such that He has not left them unprotected.
As such, al-Taqiyya, build upon an instinctive defence/attack mechanism
that Allah has endowed humans with.
The ability to use one's tongue to escape persecution when you are weak or
vulnerable is indeed a supreme example of defence. Al-Taqiyya is a truism
because it satisfies an instinctive need to survive and prosper.
Comments
It has been demonstrated under the section of "Sunni Sources In Support of
al-Taqiyya" that it is permissible to lie and deceive if you are at a
disadvantage or vulnerable to any non-Muslim (F example as long as Muslims are
still a minority in Europe), as al-Ghazzali asserted; and that it is legitimate
to utter words of unbelief as al-Suyuti stated; and that it is acceptable to
smile at a person while your heart curses him as al-Bukhari confirms; and that
al- Taqiyya is an integral part of the Quran itself, as has been shown under the
section of "al-Taqiyya vs. Hypocrisy;" and that it was practiced by one of the
most notable companions of the Prophet, none other than `Ammar Ibn Yasir; and we
have seen that al-Suyuti narrates that al-Taqiyya is permissible until the Day
of Judgment (When Islam has conquered the entire world); and that a person can
say anything he wants, even to badmouth the Prophet if he is in a dangerous and
restrictive situation; and we have also seen that even the Prophet himself
practiced al-Taqiyya in a manner of deception that served to advance “temporary”
good relations among selected neighbouring people until they could be conquered.
Furthermore, keep in mind that the Prophet Muhammad did not disclose his mission
for the first three years of his prophet hood, which was, in fact, another
practice of al- Taqiyya by the Prophet to save the young Islam from
annihilation.
There is NO difference between the Sunnis and Shia vis-a-vis al-Taqiyya, except
that the Shia practices al-Taqiyya for fear of persecution from Sunnis, while
the Sunnis are actively using it in its relations with the Western world
(Especially for the majority of Muslims (Sunnis) who have immigrated to Europe
and the US).
It is enough to say "I am a Shi'i" to get your head chopped off, even today in
countries like Saudi Arabia. As for
the Sunnis, they were never subjected to what the Shia have been subjected to,
primarily because they have always been the friends of the so-called Islamic
governments throughout the ages.
My comment here is that Wahhabis themselves do indeed practice al-Taqiyya, but
they have been psychologically programmed by their mentors in such a way that
they don't even recognise al-Taqiyya when they do actually practice it. Ahmad
Didat said that the Christians have been programmed in such a way that they may
read the Bible a million times, but will never spot an error! They are fixed on
believing it because their scholars say so, and they read at a superficial
level. I say that this also applies
to those who oppose al-Taqiyya.
Dr. al-Tijani wrote a short event where he was sitting next to a Sunni scholar
on a flight to London; they were both on their way to attend an Islamic
Conference. At that time, there was still some tension due to the Salman Rushdi
affair. The conversation between the two was naturally concerned with the unity
of the Ummah. Consequently, the Sunni/Shia issue introduced itself as part of
the conversation. The Sunni scholar said: "The Shia must drop certain beliefs
and convictions that cause disunity and animosity among the Muslims."
Dr. al-Tijani answered: "Like what?"
The Sunni scholar answered: "Like the Taqiyya and Muta' ideas." Dr.
al-Tijani immediately provided him with plenty of proofs in support of these
notions, but the Sunni scholar was not convinced, and said that although these
proofs are all authentic and correct, we must discard them for the sake of
uniting the Ummah!!! When they both got to London, the immigration officer asked
the Sunni scholar: "What is the purpose of your visit sir?"
The Sunni scholar said: "For medical treatment."
Then Dr. al-Tijani was asked the same question, and he answered: "To
visit some friends." Dr. al-Tijani
followed the Sunni scholar and said: "Didn't I tell you that al-Taqiyya is for
all times and occasions!" The Sunni scholar said: "How so?"
Dr. al-Tijani answered: "Because we both lied to the airport police: I by
saying that I came to visit some friends, and you by saying that you are here
for medical treatment; when, in fact, we are here to attend the Islamic
Conference!" The Sunni scholar smiled, and said: "Well, doesn't an Islamic
Conference provide healing for the soul?!"
Dr. al-Tijani was swift to say: "And doesn't it provide an opportunity to
visit friends?!"
So you see, the Sunnis practice al-Taqiyya whether they acknowledge the fact or
not. It is an innate part of human nature to save oneself, and most often we do
it without even noticing.
My comment again is: Who, in Allah's Name, is this Scholar to state that
although the proofs provided to him by Dr. al-Tijani are ALL authentic, they
must be discarded for the sake of uniting the Ummah?! Do you truly believe that
the Ummah will be united by abandoning Allah's commandments?
Does the above statement represent scholarly merit, or pure rhetoric,
ignorance, and hypocrisy on the part of that scholar?
Is a scholar who utters such words of ignorance worthy of being obeyed
and listened to? Who is he to tell Allah, the Creator of the Universe, and His
Messenger what is right and wrong? Does he know more than Allah about
al-Taqiyya? Exalted be Allah from being insulted by those who lack ALL forms of
intelligence to interpret His religion.
al-Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq [The Sixth Imam of Ahlul-Bayt] said:
"al-Taqiyya is my religion, and the religion of my ancestors." He also said: "He
who doesn't practice al-Taqiyya, doesn't practice his religion."

Quranic abrogation (Naskh) is another central and under-analysed part of Islam.
Those Westerners who manage to pick up a translation of the Quran are often left
bewildered as to its meaning thanks to ignorance of a critically important
principle of Quranic interpretation known as "abrogation." The principle of
abrogation -- al-naskh wa al-mansukh (the abrogating and the abrogated) --
directs that verses revealed later in Muhammad's career "abrogate" -- i.e.,
cancel and replace -- earlier ones whose instructions they may contradict. Thus,
passages revealed later in Muhammad's career, in Medina, overrule passages
revealed earlier, in Mecca. The Quran itself lays out the principle of
abrogation:
2:106. Whatever a Verse (revelation) do We {Allah} abrogate or cause to be
forgotten, We bring a better one or similar to it. Know you not that Allah is
able to do all things?
It seems that 2:106 was revealed in response to scepticism directed at Muhammad
that Allah's revelations were not entirely consistent over time. Muhammad's
rebuttal was that "Allah is able to do all things" -- even change his mind. To
confuse matters further, though the Quran was revealed to Muhammad sequentially
over some twenty years' time, it was not compiled in chronological order. When
the Quran was finally collated into book form under Caliph Uthman, the suras
were ordered from longest to shortest with no connection whatever to the order
in which they were revealed or to their thematic content. In order to find out
what the Quran says on a given topic, it is necessary to examine the other
Islamic sources that give clues as to when in Muhammad's lifetime the
revelations occurred. Upon such examination, one discovers that the Meccan
suras, revealed at a time when the Muslims were vulnerable, are generally
benign; the later Medinan suras, revealed after Muhammad had made himself the
head of an army, are bellicose.
Let us take, for example, 50:45 and Sura 109, both revealed in Mecca:
50:45. We know of best what they say; and you (O Muhammad) are not a tyrant over
them (to force them to Belief). But warn by the Qur'an, him who fears My Threat.
109:1. Say (O Muhammad to these Mushrikun and Kafirun): "O Al-Kafirun
(disbelievers in Allah, in His Oneness, in His Angels, in His Books, in His
Messengers, in the Day of Resurrection, and in Al-Qadar {divine foreordainment
and sustaining of all things}, etc.)!
109:2. "I worship not that which you worship,
109:3. "Nor will you worship that which I worship.
109:4. "And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping.
109:5. "Nor will you worship that which I worship.
109:6. "To you be your religion, and to me my religion (Islamic Monotheism)."
Then there is this passage revealed just after the Muslims reached Medina and
were still vulnerable:
2:256. There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become
distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut {idolatry} and
believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will
never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
In contrast, take 9:5, commonly referred to as the "Verse of the Sword",
revealed toward the end of Muhammad's life:
9:5. Then when the Sacred Months (the 1st, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the
Islamic calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikun {unbelievers} wherever
you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each and
every ambush. But if they repent and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat {the
Islamic ritual prayers}), and give Zakat {alms}, then leave their way free.
Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Having been revealed later in Muhammad’s life than 50:45, 109, and 2:256, the
Verse of the Sword abrogates their peaceful injunctions in accordance with
2:106. Sura 8, revealed shortly before Sura 9, reveals a similar theme:
8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism:
i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be
for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world]. But if they cease (worshipping
others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do.
8:67. It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free
them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the
land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing
the captives), but Allah desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allah is
All-Mighty, All-Wise.
9:29. Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor
forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger and those who
acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the
Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizya with willing
submission, and feel themselves subdued.
9:33. It is He {Allah} Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and
the religion of truth (Islam), to make it superior over all religions even
though the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the
Oneness of Allah) hate (it).
The Quran's commandments to Muslims to wage war in the name of Allah against
non-Muslims are unmistakable. They are, furthermore, absolutely authoritative as
they were revealed late in the Prophet's career and so cancel and replace
earlier instructions to act peaceably. Without knowledge of the principle of
abrogation (naskh), Westerners will continue to misread the Quran and
misdiagnose Islam as a "religion of peace."
Naskh – Quranic abrogation – origin and implementaion
Naskh (Quranic abrogation) is a legal practice first put in place by 9th
century Islamic scholars with the intention of understanding seemingly
contradictory verses in the Quran and the hadith. Its practical consequence in
relation to Jihad is that the aggressive Medina verses of the Quran cancels the
peaceful Mecca verses. As far back as the sources will take us, Muslim
jurisprudence discerned Quranic abrogation ('Naskh'
or 'Man-sookh')
in the Quran. One of the earliest extended discussions of Quranic abrogation
was; al-Naskh wa-al-mansukh fi al-quran by Abu Ubayd (839 AD). Another source
from the ninth century is; Kitab Fahm al-quran of al-Harith ibn Asad
al-Muhasibi. Other sources from the same century are the writings of al-Shafii
and Ibn Qutaybah. The conclusions of these “works” were among other things that
Medina (war mongering) verses cancel Mecca (peaceful) verses whenever
appropriate.
Even though the abrogated texts remain a part of the Qur'an and are even recited
during prayers, the application thereof, or applicable information therefrom is
inappropriate. This foundation for duality makes the Quran and the Hadith
extremely effective when opposing different challenges. It allows every Muslim
to use the appropriate texts based on the circumstances. The Mecca verses are
given emphasis for tactical reasons in the ongoing peaceful conquering of
nations through demographic warfare (as we see in Europe) or whenever
appropriate, while the aggressive Medina verses are given emphasis through
regular Jihad (warfare) as we see in Sudan.
Basis for abrogation
The concept of abrogation has been mainly extrapolated from two Quranic texts:
[Q 2:106] What We [Allah] cancel of 'Ayaaat' or made forgotten, We replace it
with something better than it, or at least similar. Do you not know that truly,
Allah is powerful over everything?
The word 'Ayaaat' used in the above text, means "signs". Throughout the Qur'an,
this word is used for a variety of meanings, and is not limited to the Quranic
verses [see 30:21, for example].
The second passage usually referred to as the basis for Quranic abrogation is
the following:
[Q 87:6-7] We [Allah] will relate to you [knowledge], so do not forget, except
what Allah wills. Surely, he knows what the apparent and the hidden.
We can understand the development of the concept of Naskh in the
following manner; commentators were perplexed in understanding seemingly
contradictory verses. They therefore evaluated the practices of the Prophet
(especially the various hadiths) and the actions of the first generations of
Muslims. By doing so much confusion could be avoided.
For example; [Q 8:61], which commands Muslims to remain in a peaceful setting
with those who maintain a similar stance, has been replaced with 9:73, which
reads as follows;
[Q 9:73] O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be
harsh upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination.
By ignoring the peaceful verse 8:61 which was clearly of a limited scope, given
to the Prophet at a time when Islam was weak and vulnerable
and when he was under constant attack from his foes (thus the peaceful
Medina verses), a foundation for constant Jihad until Islam has conquered the
world was created.
Texts such as 9:73 are cited by Islamists everywhere.
Look at 2:62 as the perfect example. It, along with 5:69, actually names some
Non-Muslim religious groups as being rewarded by God for their faith and deeds.
These verses are however cancelled by Q 3:85 [and other texts, such as 5:3], or
are said to refer to nations prior to Muhammad's time.
At the end of the day, there is really no doubt whatsoever what Muhammads own
agenda and conclusions were as the following authentic Hadith explains:
Hadith of the Prophet
"Lataftahanna al-Qustantiniyya wa lani`ma al-amiru amiruha wa lani`ma
al-jayshu dhalika al-jaysh."
"Verily you shall conquer Constantinople. What a wonderful leader will he be,
and what a wonderful army will that army be!"
Needless to say; every single kuffar capital is considered modern day
Constantinople’s. The only difference is that the strategic weapon used in the
Jihad against Europe is Islamic demographic warfare instead of regular infantry
units (which is the preferred method in the Sudan Jihad).
d. Jihad Through History
In 622 AD (year one in the Islamic calendar, AH 1), Muhammad abandoned Mecca for
the city of Medina (Yathrib) some 200 farther north in the Arabian peninsula. In
Medina, Muhammad established a paramilitary organisation that would spread his
influence and that of his religion throughout Arabia. Because there has never
been a separation of the political-military and the religious in Islam, this
development was entirely natural by Islamic principles. By the time of his death
in 632 AD, Muhammad had extended his control in a series of raids and battles
over most of southern Arabia. The conquered populations of these areas either
had to submit to Muslim rule and pay a protection tax or convert to Islam.
i. The First Major Wave of Jihad: the Arabs, 622-750 AD
Near the end of his life, Muhammad sent letters to the great empires of the
Middle East demanding their submission to his authority. This dispels any notion
that the Prophet intended Islam's expansion to stop with Arabia. Indeed, it is
only logical that the one true religion, revealed by the final and fullest
prophet, should have universal sway. Thus, as Muhammad had fought and subdued
the peoples of the Arabian peninsula, his successors Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and
Ali (known as "the four rightly-guided Caliphs") and other Caliphs fought and
subdued the people of the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe in the name of
Allah.
Volume 4, Book 53, Number 386; Narrated Jubair bin Haiya: Umar {the second
Caliph} sent the Muslims to the great countries to fight the pagans.
When we reached the land of the enemy, the representative of Khosrau
{Persia} came out with forty-thousand warriors, and an interpreter got up
saying, "Let one of you talk to me!" Al-Mughira replied, "Our Prophet, the
Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone
or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord
says: "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise to
lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain
alive, shall become your master."
Unleashing upon the world the blitzkrieg of its day, Islam rapidly spread into
the territories of Byzantium, Persia, and Western Europe in the decades after
Muhammad's death. The creaking Byzantine and Persian powers, having battled each
other into mutual decline, offered little resistance to this unanticipated
onslaught. The Arab Muslim armies charged into the Holy Land, conquered what is
now Iraq and Iran, then swept west across North Africa, into Spain, and finally
into France. The Muslim offensive was finally halted in the West at the Battle
of Poitiers/Tours, not far from Paris, in 732 AD. In the east, the jihad
penetrated deep into Central Asia.
As Muhammad had plundered his foes, so his successors also stripped the
conquered areas -- incomparably richer both materially and culturally than the
desolate sands of Arabia -- of their wealth and manpower. Almost overnight, the
more advanced civilisations of the Middle East, North Africa, Persia, and Iberia
saw their agriculture, native religions, and populations destroyed or plundered.
Save for a handful of walled cities that managed to negotiate conditional
surrenders, the catastrophes those lands suffered were very nearly complete.
Ibn Hudayl, a 14th century Granadan author of an important treatise on Jihad,
explained the original methods which facilitated the violent, chaotic Jihad
conquest of the Iberian peninsula, and other parts of Europe:
It is permissible to set fire to the lands of the enemy, his stores of grain,
his beasts of burden if it is not possible for the Muslims to take possession of
them as well as to cut down his trees, to raze his cities, in a word, to do
everything that might ruin and discourage him, provided that the imam deems
these measures appropriate, suited to hastening the Islamisation of that enemy
or to weakening him. Indeed, all this contributes to a military triumph over him
or to forcing him to capitulate.
The historian al-Maqqari, who wrote in seventeenth-century Tlemcen in Algeria,
explains that the panic created by the Arab horsemen and sailors, at the time of
the Muslim expansion in the zones that saw those raids and landings, facilitated
the later conquest, if that was decided on:
Allah, he says, thus instilled such fear among the infidels that they did not
dare to go and fight the conquerors; they only approached them as suppliants, to
beg for peace."
Bat Ye'or, the leading scholar of Islam's expansion and its treatment of
non-Muslims, has provided an inestimable service through the compilation and
translation of numerous primary source documents describing centuries of Islamic
conquest. She includes these documents in her works on Islamic history and the
plight of non-Muslims under Islamic rule. In the history of jihad, the slaughter
of civilians, the desecration of churches, and the plundering of the countryside
are commonplace. Here is Michael the Syrian's account of the Muslim invasion of
Cappodocia (southern Turkey) in 650 AD under Caliph Umar:
… when Muawiya {the Muslim commander} arrived {in Euchaita in Armenia} he
ordered all the inhabitants to be put to the sword; he placed guards so that no
one escaped. After gathering up all the wealth of the town, they set to
torturing the leaders to make them show them things [treasures] that had been
hidden. The Taiyaye {Muslim Arabs} led everyone into slavery -- men and women,
boys and girls -- and they committed much debauchery in that unfortunate town:
they wickedly committed immoralities inside churches. They returned to their
country rejoicing. (Michael the Syrian, quoted in Bat Ye'or, The Decline of
Eastern Christianity under Islam, 276-7.)
The following description by the Muslim historian, Ibn al-Athir (1160-1233 AD),
of razzias (raiding expeditions) in Northern Spain and France in the eighth and
ninth centuries AD, conveys nothing but satisfaction at the extent of the
destruction wrought upon the infidels, including non-combatants.
In 177 <17 April 793>, Hisham, prince of Spain, sent a large army commanded by
Abd al-Malik b. Abd al-Wahid b. Mugith into enemy territory, and which made
forays as far as Narbonne and Jaranda . This general first attacked Jaranda
where there was an elite Frank garrison; he killed the bravest, destroyed the
walls and towers of the town and almost managed to seize it. He then marched on
to Narbonne, where he repeated the same actions, then, pushing forward, he
trampled underfoot the land of the Cerdagne {near Andorra in the Pyrenees}. For
several months he traversed this land in every direction, raping women, killing
warriors, destroying fortresses, burning and pillaging everything, driving back
the enemy who fled in disorder. He returned safe and sound, dragging behind him
God alone knows how much booty. This is one of the most famous expeditions of
the Muslims in Spain. In 223 <2 December 837>, Abd ar-Rahman b. al Hakam,
sovereign of Spain, sent an army against Alava; it encamped near Hisn al-Gharat,
which it besieged; it seized the booty that was found there, killed the
inhabitants and withdrew, carrying off women and children as captives. In 231 <6
September 845>, a Muslim army advanced into Galicia on the territory of the
infidels, where it pillaged and massacred everyone. In 246 <27 March 860>,
Muhammad b. Abd ar-Rahman advanced with many troops and a large military
apparatus against the region of Pamplona. He reduced, ruined and ravaged this
territory, where he pillaged and sowed death. (Ibn al-Athir, Annals, quoted in
Bat Ye'or, The Decline of Eastern Christianity under Islam, 281-2.)
This first wave of jihad engulfed much of the Byzantine, Visigothic, Frankish,
and Persian Empires and left the newborn Islamic Empire controlling territory
from Southern France, south through Spain, east across North Africa to India,
and north to Russia. Early in the second millennium AD, the Mongol invasion from
the east greatly weakened the Islamic Empire and ended Arab predominance
therein.
ii. The Second Major Wave of Jihad: the Turks, 1071-1683 AD
Some twenty-five years before the first Crusading army set out from central
Europe for the Holy Land, the Turkish (Ottoman) armies began an assault on the
Christian Byzantine Empire, which had ruled what is now Turkey since the Roman
Empire's capital was moved to Constantinople in 325 AD. At the battle of
Manzikert, in 1071, the Christian forces suffered a disastrous defeat, which
left much of Anatolia (Turkey) open to invasion. This second wave of jihad was
temporarily held up by the invading Latin Armies during the Crusades (see Islam
101 FAQs), but, by the beginning of the 14th century, the Turks were threatening
Constantinople and Europe itself.
In the West, Roman Catholic armies were bit by bit forcing Muslim forces down
the Iberian peninsula, until, in 1492, they were definitively expelled (the
Reconquista). In Eastern Europe, however, Islam continued in the ascendant. One
of the most significant engagements between the invading Muslims and the
indigenous peoples of the region was the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, where the
Turks annihilated a multinational army under the Serbian King, St. Lazar, though
their progress into Europe was significantly slowed. After numerous attempts
dating back to the seventh century, Constantinople, the jewel of Eastern
Christendom, finally fell in 1453 to the armies of Sultan Mahomet II. Lest one
ascribe the atrocities of the first wave of jihad to the "Arabness" of its
perpetrators, the Turks showed they were fully capable of living up to the
principles of the Quran and the Sunnah. Paul Fregosi in his book Jihad describes
the scene following the final assault on Constantinople:
Several thousand of the survivors had taken refuge in the cathedral: nobles,
servants, ordinary citizens, their wives and children, priests and nuns. They
locked the huge doors, prayed, and waited. {Caliph} Mahomet {II} had given the
troops free quarter. They raped, of course, the nuns being the first victims,
and slaughtered. At least four thousand were killed before Mahomet stopped the
massacre at noon. He ordered a muezzin {one who issues the call to prayer} to
climb into the pulpit of St. Sophia and dedicate the building to Allah. It has
remained a mosque ever since. Fifty thousand of the inhabitants, more than half
the population, were rounded up and taken away as slaves. For months afterward,
slaves were the cheapest commodity in the markets of Turkey. Mahomet asked that
the body of the dead emperor be brought to him. Some Turkish soldiers found it
in a pile of corpses and recognised Constantine {XI} by the golden eagles
embroidered on his boots. The sultan ordered his head to be cut off and placed
between the horse's legs under the equestrian bronze statue of the emperor
Justinian. The head was later embalmed and sent around the chief cities of the
Ottoman Empire for the delectation of the citizens. Next, Mahomet ordered the
Grand Duke Notaras, who had survived, be brought before him, asked him for the
names and addresses of all the leading nobles, officials, and citizens, which
Notaras gave him. He had them all arrested and decapitated. He sadistically
bought from their owners {i.e., Muslim commanders} high-ranking prisoners who
had been enslaved, for the pleasure of having them beheaded in front of him.
(Fregosi, Jihad, 256-7.)
This second, Turkish wave of jihad reached its farthest extent at the failed
sieges of Vienna in 1529 and 1683, where in the latter instance the Muslim army
under Kara Mustapha was thrown back by the Roman Catholics under the command of
the Polish King, John Sobieski. In the decades that followed, the Ottomans were
driven back down through the Balkans, though they were never ejected from the
European continent entirely. Still, even while the imperial jihad faltered,
Muslim land- and sea-borne razzias into Christian territory continued, and
Christians were being abducted into slavery from as far away as Iceland into the
19th century.
e. Dhimmitude
Islam's persecution of non-Muslims is in no way limited to jihad, even though
that is the basic relationship between the Muslim and non-Muslim world. After
the jihad concludes in a given area with the conquest of infidel territory, the
dhimma, or treaty of protection, may be granted to the conquered "People of the
Book" -- historically, Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians. The dhimma provides
that the life and property of the infidel are exempted from jihad for as long as
the Muslim rulers permit, which has generally meant for as long as the subject
non-Muslims -- the dhimmi -- prove economically useful to the Islamic state. The
Quran spells out the payment of the jizya (poll- or head-tax; Sura 9:29), which
is the most conspicuous means by which the Muslim overlords exploit the dhimmi.
But the jizya is not merely economic in its function; it exists also to
humiliate the dhimmi and impress on him the superiority of Islam. Al-Maghili, a
fifteenth century Muslim theologian, explains:
On the day of payment {of the jizya} they {the dhimmi} shall be assembled in a
public place like the suq {place of commerce}. They should be standing there
waiting in the lowest and dirtiest place. The acting officials representing the
Law shall be placed above them and shall adopt a threatening attitude so that it
seems to them, as well as to others, that our object is to degrade them by
pretending to take their possessions. They will realise that we are doing them a
favour in accepting from them the jizya and letting them go free. (Al-Maghili,
quoted in Bat Ye'or, The Decline of Eastern Christianity under Islam, 361.)
Islamic law codifies various other restrictions on the dhimmi, all of which
derive from the Quran and the Sunnah. Several hundred years of Islamic thought
on the right treatment of dhimmi peoples is summed up by Al-Damanhuri, a
seventeenth century head of Al-Azhar University in Cairo, the most prestigious
center for learning in the Muslim world:
… just as the dhimmis are prohibited from building churches, other things also
are prohibited to them. They must not assist an unbeliever against a Muslim …
raise the cross in an Islamic assemblage … display banners on their own
holidays; bear arms … or keep them in their homes. Should they do anything of
the sort, they must be punished, and the arms seized. … The Companions [of the
Prophet] agreed upon these points in order to demonstrate the abasement of the
infidel and to protect the weak believer's faith. For if he sees them humbled,
he will not be inclined toward their belief, which is not true if he sees them
in power, pride, or luxury garb, as all this urges him to esteem them and
incline toward them, in view of his own distress and poverty. Yet esteem for the
unbeliever is unbelief. (Al-Damanhuri, quoted in Bat Ye'or, The Decline of
Eastern Christianity under Islam, 382.)
The Christian, Jewish, and Zoroastrian peoples of the Middle East, North Africa,
and much of Europe suffered under the oppressive strictures of the dhimma for
centuries. The status of these dhimmi peoples is comparable in many ways to that
of former slaves in the post-bellum American South. Forbidden to construct
houses of worship or repair extant ones, economically crippled by the jizya,
socially humiliated, legally discriminated against, and generally kept in a
permanent state of weakness and vulnerability by the Muslim overlords, it should
not be surprising that their numbers dwindled, in many places to the point of
extinction. The generally misunderstood decline of Islamic civilisation over the
past several centuries is easily explained by the demographic decline of the
dhimmi populations, which had provided the principle engines of technical and
administrative competence.
Should the dhimmi violate the conditions of the dhimma -- perhaps through
practicing his own religion indiscreetly or failing to show adequate deference
to a Muslim -- then the jihad resumes. At various times in Islamic history,
dhimmi peoples rose above their subjected status, and this was often the
occasion for violent reprisals by Muslim populations who believed them to have
violated the terms of the dhimma. Medieval Andalusia (Moorish Spain) is often
pointed out by Muslim apologists as a kind of multicultural wonderland, in which
Jews and Christians were permitted by the Islamic government to rise through the
ranks of learning and government administration. What we are not told, however,
is that this relaxation of the disabilities resulted in widespread rioting on
the part of the Muslim populace that killed hundreds of dhimmis, mainly Jews. By
refusing to convert to Islam and straying from the traditional constraints of
the dhimma (even at the behest of the Islamic government, which was in need of
capable manpower), the dhimmi had implicitly chosen the only other option
permitted by the Quran: death.
Dhimmitude in Spain (Iberian peninsula)
The Iberian peninsula was conquered in 710-716 C.E. by Arab tribes originating
from northern, central and southern Arabia. Massive Berber and Arab immigration,
and the colonisation of the Iberian peninsula, followed the conquest. Most
churches were converted into mosques. Although the conquest had been planned and
conducted jointly with a faction of Iberian Christian dissidents, including a
bishop, it proceeded as a classical jihad with massive pillages, enslavements,
deportations and killings. Toledo, which had first submitted to the Arabs in 711
or 712, revolted in 713. The town was punished by pillage and all the notables
had their throats cut. In 730, the Cerdagne (in Septimania, near Barcelona) was
ravaged and a bishop burned alive. In the regions under stable Islamic control,
subjugated non-Muslim dhimmis -Jews and Christians- like elsewhere in other
Islamic lands were prohibited from building new churches or synagogues, or
restoring the old ones. Segregated in special quarters, they had to wear
discriminatory clothing. Subjected to heavy taxes, the Christian peasantry
formed a servile class exploited by the dominant Arab ruling elites; many
abandoned their land and fled to the towns. Harsh reprisals with mutilations and
crucifixions would sanction the Mozarab (Christian dhimmis) calls for help from
the Christian kings. Moreover, if one dhimmi harmed a Muslim, the whole
community would lose its status of protection, leaving it open to pillage,
enslavement and arbitrary killing.
By the end of the eighth century, the rulers of North Africa and of Andalusia
had introduced rigorous and harsh Maliki jurisprudence as the predominant school
of Muslim law. Three quarters of a century ago, at a time when political
correctness was not dominating historical publication and discourse,
Évariste Lévi-Provençal, the
pre-eminent scholar of Andalusia wrote:
The Muslim Andalusian state thus appears from its earliest origins as the
defender and champion of a jealous orthodoxy, more and more ossified in a blind
respect for a rigid doctrine, suspecting and condemning in advance the least
effort of rational speculation.
Dufourcq provides this illustration of the resulting religious and legal
discriminations dhimmis suffered, and the accompanying incentives for them to
convert to Islam: by converting [to Islam], one would no longer have to be
confined to a given district, or be the victim of discriminatory measures or
suffer humiliations. Furthermore, the entire Islamic law tended to favour
conversions. When an "infidel" became a Muslim, he immediately benefited from a
complete amnesty for all of his earlier crimes, even if he had been sentenced to
the death penalty, even if it was for having insulted the Prophet or blasphemed
against the Word of God: his conversion acquitted him of all his faults, of all
his previous sins.
A legal opinion given by a mufti from al-Andalus in the ninth century is very
instructive: a Christian dhimmi kidnapped and violated a Muslim woman; when he
was arrested and condemned to death, he immediately converted to Islam; he was
automatically pardoned, while being constrained to marry the woman and to
provide for her a dowry in keeping with her status. The mufti who was consulted
about the affair, perhaps by a brother of the woman, found that the court
decision was perfectly legal, but specified that if that convert did not become
a Muslim in good faith and secretly remained a Christian, he should be flogged,
slaughtered and crucified.
Al-Andalus represented the land of jihad par excellence. Every year (sometimes
twice a year) raiding expeditions were sent to ravage the Christian Spanish
kingdoms to the north, the Basque regions, or France and the Rhone valley,
bringing back booty and slaves. Andalusian corsairs attacked and invaded along
the Sicilian and Italian coasts, even as far as the Aegean Islands, looting and
burning as they went. Many thousands of non-Muslim captives were deported to
slavery in Andalusia, where the caliph kept a militia of tens of thousand of
Christian slaves, brought from all parts of Christian Europe (the Saqaliba), and
a harem filled with captured Christian women.
Society was sharply divided along ethnic and religious lines, with the Arab
tribes at the top of the hierarchy, followed by the Berbers who were never
recognised as equals, despite their Islamisation; lower in the scale came the
mullawadun converts and, at the very bottom, the dhimmi Christians and Jews.
The Andalusian Maliki jurist Ibn Abdun (d. 1134) offered these telling legal
opinions regarding Jews and Christians in Seville around 1100 A.D.:
No Jew or Christian may be allowed to wear the dress of an aristocrat, nor of a
jurist, nor of a wealthy individual; on the contrary they must be detested and
avoided. It is forbidden to [greet] them with the [expression], "Peace be upon
you”. In effect, Satan has gained possession of them, and caused them to forget
God’s warning. They are the confederates of Satan’s party; Satan’s confederates
will surely be the losers!" (Quran 58:19 [modern Dawood translation]). A
distinctive sign must be imposed upon them in order that they may be recognised
and this will be for them a form of disgrace.
Ibn Abdun also forbade the selling of scientific books to dhimmis under the
pretext that they translated them and attributed them to their co-religionists
and bishops. In fact, plagiarism is difficult to prove since whole Jewish and
Christian libraries were looted and destroyed. Another prominent Andalusian
jurist, Ibn Hazm of Cordoba (d. 1064), wrote that Allah has established the
infidels ownership of their property merely to provide booty for Muslims.
In Granada, the Jewish viziers Samuel Ibn Naghrela, and his son Joseph, who
protected the Jewish community, were both assassinated between 1056 to 1066,
followed by the annihilation of the Jewish population by the local Muslims. It
is estimated that up to five thousand Jews perished in the pogrom by Muslims
that accompanied the 1066 assassination. This figure equals or exceeds the
number of Jews reportedly killed by the Crusaders during their pillage of the
Rhineland, some thirty years later, at the outset of the First Crusade. The
Granada pogrom was likely to have been incited, in part, by the bitter
anti-Jewish ode of Abu Ishaq a well known Muslim jurist and poet of the times,
who wrote:
Bring them down to their place and Return them to the most abject station. They
used to roam around us in tatters Covered with contempt, humiliation, and scorn.
They used to rummage amongst the dungheaps for a bit of a filthy rag to serve as
a shroud for a man to be buried in...Do not consider that killing them is
treachery. Nay, it would be treachery to leave them scoffing." [The translator
then summarises: The Jews have broken their covenant (i.e., overstepped their
station, with reference to the Covenant of Umar) and compunction would be out of
place.]
The Muslim Berber Almohads in Spain and North Africa (1130-1232) wreaked
enormous destruction on both the Jewish and Christian populations. This
devastation- massacre, captivity, and forced conversion- was described by the
Jewish chronicler Abraham Ibn Daud, and the poet Abraham Ibn Ezra. Suspicious of
the sincerity of the Jewish converts to Islam, Muslim "inquisitors" (i.e.,
antedating their Christian Spanish counterparts by three centuries) removed the
children from such families, placing them in the care of Muslim educators 13 .
Maimonides, the renowned philosopher and physician, experienced the Almohad
persecutions, and had to flee Cordoba with his entire family in 1148,
temporarily residing in Fez - disguised as a Muslim - before finding asylum in
Fatimid Egypt.
Indeed, although Maimonides is frequently referred to as a paragon of Jewish
achievement facilitated by the enlightened rule of Andalusia, his own words
debunk this utopian view of the Islamic treatment of Jews:
..the Arabs have persecuted us severely, and passed baneful and discriminatory
legislation against us...Never did a nation molest, degrade, debase, and hate us
as much as they..
Ottoman Dhimmitude
Even the Turcophilic 19th century travel writer Ubicini acknowledged the
oppressive burden of Ottoman dhimmitude in this moving depiction:
The history of enslaved peoples is the same everywhere, or rather, they have no
history. The years, the centuries pass without bringing any change to their
situation. Generations come and go in silence. One might think they are afraid
to awaken their masters, asleep alongside them. However, if you examine them
closely you discover that this immobility is only superficial. A silent and
constant agitation grips them. Life has entirely withdrawn into the heart. They
resemble those rivers which have disappeared underground; if you put your ear to
the earth, you can hear the muffled sound of their waters; then they re-emerge
intact a few leagues away. Such is the state of the Christian populations of
Turkey under Ottoman rule.
Ottoman Devshirme-janissary system
Scholars who have conducted serious, detailed studies of the devshirme-janissary
system have made the following conclusions; Vryonis, Jr. for example, makes
these deliberately understated, but cogent observations;
...in discussing the devshirme we are dealing with the large numbers of
Christians who, in spite of the material advantages offered by conversion to
Islam, chose to remain members of a religious society which was denied first
class citizenship. Therefore the proposition advanced by some historians, that
the Christians welcomed the devshirme as it opened up wonderful opportunities
for their children, is inconsistent with the fact that these Christians had not
chosen to become Muslims in the first instance but had remained Christians.
There is abundant testimony to the very active dislike with which they viewed
the taking of their children. One would expect such sentiments given the strong
nature of the family bond and given also the strong attachment to Christianity
of those who had not apostacised to Islam. First of all the Ottomans capitalised
on the general Christian fear of losing their children and used offers of
devshirme exemption in negotiations for surrender of Christian lands. Such
exemptions were included in the surrender terms granted to Jannina, Galata, the
Morea, Chios, etc. Christians who engaged in specialised activities which were
important to the Ottoman state were likewise exempt from the tax on their
children by way of recognition of the importance of their labours for the
empire. Exemption from this tribute was considered a privilege and not a
penalty.
...there are other documents wherein their [i.e., the Christians] dislike is
much more explicitly apparent. These include a series of Ottoman documents
dealing with the specific situations wherein the devshirmes themselves have
escaped from the officials responsible for collecting them. A firman... in 1601
[regarding the devshirme] provided the [Ottoman] officials with stern measures
of enforcement, a fact which would seem to suggest that parents were not always
disposed to part with their sons.
“..to enforce the command of the known and holy fetva [fatwa] of Seyhul
[Shaikh]- Islam. In accordance with this whenever some one of the infidel
parents or some other should oppose the giving up of his son for the
Janissaries, he is immediately hanged from his door-sill, his blood being deemed
unworthy.”
Vasiliki Papoulia highlights the continuous desperate, often violent struggle of
the Christian populations against this brutally imposed Ottoman levy:
It is obvious that the population strongly resented this measure [and the levy]
could be carried out only by force. Those who refused to surrender their sons-
the healthiest, the handsomest and the most intelligent- were on the spot put to
death by hanging. Nevertheless we have examples of armed resistance. In 1565 a
revolt took place in Epirus and Albania. The inhabitants killed the recruiting
officers and the revolt was put down only after the sultan sent five hundred
janissaries in support of the local sanjak-bey. We are better informed, thanks
to the historic archives of Yerroia, about the uprising in Naousa in 1705 where
the inhabitants killed the Silahdar Ahmed Celebi and his assistants and fled to
the mountains as rebels. Some of them were later arrested and put to death..
Since there was no possibility of escaping [the levy] the population resorted to
several subterfuges. Some left their villages and fled to certain cities which
enjoyed exemption from the child levy or migrated to Venetian-held territories.
The result was a depopulation of the countryside. Others had their children
marry at an early age ...Nicephorus Angelus... states that at times the children
ran away on their own initiative, but when they heard that the authorities had
arrested their parents and were torturing them to death, returned and gave
themselves up. La Giulletiere cites the case of a young Athenian who returned
from hiding in order to save his father’s life and then chose to die himself
rather than abjure his faith. According to the evidence in Turkish sources, some
parents even succeeded in abducting their children after they had been
recruited. The most successful way of escaping recruitment was through bribery.
That the latter was very widespread is evident from the large amounts of money
confiscated by the sultan from corrupt officials. Finally, in their desperation
the parents even appealed to the Pope and the Western powers for help.
Papoulia concludes:
…there is no doubt that this heavy burden was one of the hardest tribulations of
the Christian population.
Dhimmitude in Greece under Ottoman rule
A.E. Vacalopoulos, History of Macedonia, 1354-1833, Thessaloniki, 1973, pp.
67-74, 353-358, 636-652; "Background and Causes of the Greek Revolution",
Neo-Hellenika, Vol. 2, 1975, pp.53-68; The Greek Nation, 1453-1669, New
Brunswick, New Jersey, 1976, Chaps. 1-4.
Vacalopoulos describes how jihad imposed dhimmitude under Ottoman rule provided
critical motivation for the Greek Revolution (Background and Causes of the Greek
Revolution, Neo-Hellenika, pp.54-55):
The Revolution of 1821 is no more than the last great phase of the resistance of
the Greeks to Ottoman domination; it was a relentless, undeclared war, which had
begun already in the first years of servitude. The brutality of an
autocratic regime, which was characterised by economic spoliation, intellectual
decay and cultural retrogression, was sure to provoke opposition.
Restrictions of all kinds, unlawful taxation, forced labour, persecutions,
violence, imprisonment, death, abductions of girls and boys and their
confinement to Turkish harems, and various deeds of wantonness and lust, along
with numerous less offensive excesses — all these were a constant challenge to
the instinct of survival and they defied every sense of human decency. The
Greeks bitterly resented all insults and humiliations, and their anguish and
frustration pushed them into the arms of rebellion. There was no
exaggeration in the statement made by one of the beys if Arta, when he sought to
explain the ferocity of the struggle. He said: 'We have wronged the
rayas [dhimmis] (i.e. our Christian subjects) and destroyed both their wealth
and honour; they became desperate and took up arms. This is just the
beginning and will finally lead to the destruction of our empire.' The
sufferings of the Greeks under Ottoman rule were therefore the basic cause of
the insurrection; a psychological incentive was provided by the very nature of
the circumstances.
Dhimmitude in Palestine
In his comprehensive study of 19th century Palestinian Jewry under Ottoman rule
(The Jews of Palestine, pp. 168, 172-73), Professor Tudor Parfitt made these
summary observations:
"…Inside the towns, Jews and other dhimmis were frequently attacked, wounded,
and even killed by local Muslims and Turkish soldiers. Such attacks were
frequently for trivial reasons: Wilson [in British Foreign Office
correspondence] recalled having met a Jew who had been badly wounded by a
Turkish soldier for not having instantly dismounted when ordered to give up his
donkey to a soldier of the Sultan. Many Jews were killed for less. On occasion
the authorities attempted to get some form of redress but this was by no means
always the case: the Turkish authorities themselves were sometimes responsible
for beating Jews to death for some unproven charge. After one such occasion
[British Consul] Young remarked: 'I must say I am sorry and surprised that the
Governor could have acted so savage a part- for certainly what I have seen of
him I should have thought him superior to such wanton inhumanity- but it was a
Jew- without friends or protection- it serves to show well that it is not
without reason that the poor Jew, even in the nineteenth century, lives from day
to day in terror of his life'."
Dhimmitude during and after the Tanzimat period – Ottoman Empire
The Tanzimat, meaning reorganisation of the Ottoman Empire, was a period of
reformation that began in 1839 and ended with the First Constitutional Era in
1876. The Tanzimat reform era was characterised by various attempts to modernise
the Ottoman Empire, to secure its territorial integrity against nationalist
movements and aggressive powers. The reforms encouraged Ottomanism among the
diverse ethnic groups of the Empire, attempting to stem the tide of nationalist
movements within the Ottoman Empire. The reforms attempted to integrate
non-Muslims and non-Turks more thoroughly into Ottoman society by enhancing
their civil liberties and granting them equality throughout the Empire.
Edouard Engelhardt, La Turquie et La Tanzimat, 2 Vols.
In 1882, Paris; Engelhardt made these observations from his detailed analysis of
the Tanzimat period, noting that a quarter century after the Crimean War
(1853-56), and the second iteration of Tanzimat reforms, the same problems
persisted:
Muslim society has not yet broken with the prejudices which make the conquered
peoples subordinate…the raya [dhimmis] remain inferior to the Osmanlis; in fact
he is not rehabilitated; the fanaticism of the early days has not relented…[even
liberal Muslims rejected]…civil and political equality, that is to say, the
assimilation of the conquered with the conquerors.
A systematic examination of the condition of the Christian rayas was conducted
in the 1860s by British consuls stationed throughout the Ottoman Empire,
yielding extensive primary source documentary evidence. [54]. Britain was then
Turkey's most powerful ally, and it was in her strategic interest to see that
oppression of the Christians was eliminated, to prevent direct, aggressive
Russian or Austrian intervention. On July 22, 1860, Consul James Zohrab sent a
lengthy report from Sarajevo to his ambassador in Constantinople, Sir Henry
Bulwer, analysing the administration of the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
again, following the 1856 Tanzimat reforms. Referring to the reform efforts,
Zohrab states:
I can safely say, [they] practically remain a dead letter…while
[this] does not extend to permitting the Christians to be treated as they
formerly were treated, is so far unbearable and unjust in that it permits the
Mussulmans to despoil them with heavy exactions. False imprisonments
(imprisonment under false accusation) are of daily occurence. A Christian has
but a small chance of exculpating himself when his opponent is a Mussulman (...)
Christian evidence, as a rule, is still refused (...) Christians are now
permitted to possess real property, but the obstacles which they meet with when
they attempt to acquire it are so many and vexatious that very few have as yet
dared to brave them…
Such being, generally speaking, the course pursued by the Government towards the
Christians in the capital (Sarajevo) of the province where the Consular Agents
of the different Powers reside and can exercise some degree of control, it may
easily be guessed to what extend the Christians, in the remoter districts,
suffer who are governed by Mudirs (governors) generally fanatical and
unacquainted with the (new reforms of the) law..
Even the modern Ottomanist Roderick Davison (in "Turkish Attitudes Concerning
Christian-Muslim Equality in the Nineteenth Century" American Historical Review,
Vol. 59, pp. 848, 855, 859, 864) concedes, that the reforms failed, and offers
an explanation based on Islamic beliefs intrinsic to the system of dhimmitude:
No genuine equality was ever attained…there remained among the Turks an intense
Muslim feeling which could sometimes burst into an open fanaticism…More
important than the possibility of fanatic outbursts, however, was the innate
attitude of superiority which the Muslim Turk possessed. Islam was for him the
true religion. Christianity was only a partial revelation of the truth, which
Muhammad finally revealed in full; therefore Christians were not equal to
Muslims in possession of truth. Islam was not only a way of worship, it was a
way of life as well. It prescribed man’s relations to man, as well as to God,
and was the basis for society, for law, and for government. Christians were
therefore inevitably considered second-class citizens in the light of religious
revelation—as well as by reason of the plain fact that they had been conquered
by the Ottomans. This whole Muslim outlook was often summed up in the common
term gavur (or kafir), which means ‘unbeliever’ or ‘infidel’, with emotional and
quite uncomplimentary overtones. To associate closely or on terms of equality
with the gavur was dubious at best. “Familiar association with heathens and
infidels is forbidden to the people of Islam,” said Asim, an early
nineteenth-century historian, “and friendly and intimate intercourse between two
parties that are one to another as darkness and light is far from desirable”…The
mere idea of equality, especially the anti-defamation clause of 1856, offended
the Turks’ inherent sense of the rightness of things. “Now we can’t call a gavur
a gavur”, it was said, sometimes bitterly, sometimes in matter-of-fact
explanation that under the new dispensation the plain truth could no longer be
spoken openly. Could reforms be acceptable which forbade calling a spade a
spade?...The Turkish mind, conditioned by centuries of Muslim and Ottoman
dominance, was not yet ready to accept any absolute equality…Ottoman equality
was not attained in the Tanzimat period [i.e., mid to late 19th century,
1839-1876], nor yet after the Young Turk revolution of 1908…
Dhimmitude – Zorastrians in Iran
Boyce, A Persian Stronghold of Zoroastrianism, pp. 7-8; Napier Malcolm lived
among the Zoroastrians in the central Iranian town of Yezd at the end of the
19th century. He documented the following in his narrative, Five Years in a
Persian Town, New York, 1905, pp. 45-50:
Up to 1895 no Parsi (Zoroastrian) was allowed to carry an umbrella. Even during
the time that I was in Yezd they could not carry one in town. Up to 1895 there
was a strong prohibition upon eye-glasses and spectacles; up to 1885 they were
prevented from wearing rings; their girdles had to be made of rough canvas, but
after 1885 any white material was permitted. Up to 1896 the Parsis were obliged
to twist their turbans instead of folding them. Up to 1898 only brown, grey, and
yellow were allowed for the qaba [outer coat] or arkhaluq [under coat] (body
garments), but after that all colours were permitted except blue, black, bright
red, or green. There was also a prohibition against white stockings, and up to
about 1880 the Parsis had to wear a special kind of peculiarly hideous shoe with
a broad, turned-up toe. Up to 1885 they had to wear a torn cap. Up to 1880 they
had to wear tight knickers, self-coloured, instead of trousers. Up to 1891 all
Zoroastrians had to walk in town, and even in the desert they had to dismount if
they met a Mussulman of any rank whatsoever. During the time that I was in Yezd
they were allowed to ride in the desert, and only had to dismount if they met a
big Mussulman. There were other similar dress restrictions too numerous and
trifling to mention.
Then the houses of both the Parsis and the Jews, with the surrounding walls, had
to be built so low that the top could be reached by a Mussulman with his hand
extended; they might, however, dig down below the level of the road. The walls
had to be splashed with white around the door. Double doors, the common form of
Persian door, were forbidden, also rooms containing three or more windows.
Bad-girs [Air-shafts] were still forbidden to Parsis while we were in Yezd, but
in 1900 one of the bigger Parsi merchants gave a large present to the Governor
and to the chief mujtahid (Mohammedan priest) to be allowed to build one. Upper
rooms were also forbidden.
Up to about 1860 Parsis could not engage in trade. They used to hide things in
their cellar rooms, and sell them secretly. They can now trade in the
caravanserais or hostelries, but not in the bazaars, nor may they trade in linen
drapery. Up to 1870 they were not permitted to have a school for their children.
The amount of the Jizya, or tax upon infidels, differed according to the wealth
of the individual Parsi, but it was never less than two tomans [a sum of money,
10,000 dinars]. A toman is now worth about three shillings and eight pence, but
it used to be worth much more. Even now, when money has much depreciated, it
represents a labourer’s wage for ten days. The money must be paid on the spot,
when the farrash [literally, a carpet sweeper. Really a servant, chiefly,
outdoor], who was acting as collector, met the man. The farrash was at liberty
to do what he liked when collecting the jizya. The man was not even allowed to
go home and fetch the money, but was beaten at once until it was given. About
1865 a farrash collecting this tax tied a man to a dog, and gave a blow to each
in turn.
About 1891 a mujtahid caught a Zoroastrian merchant wearing white stockings in
one of the public squares of the town. He ordered the man to be beaten and the
stockings taken off. About 1860 a man of seventy went to the bazaars in white
trousers of rough canvas. They hit him about a good deal, took off his trousers,
and sent him home with them under his arm. Sometimes Parsis would be made to
stand on one leg in a mujtahid’s house until they consented to pay a
considerable sum of money.
In the reign of the late Shah Nasirud Din, Manukji Limji, a British Parsi from
India, was for a long while in Tehran as Parsi representative. Almost all the
Parsi disabilities were withdrawn, the Jizya, the clothes restrictions, and
those with regard to houses, but the law of inheritance was not altered,
according to which a Parsi who becomes a Mussulman takes precedence of his
Zoroastrian brothers and sisters. The Jizya was actually remitted, and also some
of the restrictions as to houses, but the rest of the firman was a dead letter.
In 1898 the present Shah, Muzaffarud Din, gave a firman to Dinyar, the present
Qalantar [Head Man] of the Parsi Anjuman, or Committee, revoking all the
remaining Parsi disabilities, and also declaring it unlawful to use fraud or
deception in making conversions of Parsis to Islam. This firman does not appear
to have had any effect at all.
About 1883, after the firman of Nasirud Din Shah had been promulgated, one of
the Parsis, Rustami Ardishiri Dinyar, built in Kucha Biyuk, one of the villages
near Yezd, a house with an upper room, slightly above the height to which the
Parsis used to be limited. He heard that the Mussulmans were going to kill him,
so he fled by night to Tehran. They killed another Parsi, Tirandaz, in mistake
for him, but did not destroy the house.
So the great difficulty was not to get the law improved, but rather to get it
enforced. When Manukji [British Parsi and consul in Tehran] was at Yezd, about
1870, two Parsis were attacked by two Mussulmans outside the town, and one was
killed, the other terribly wounded as they had tried to cut off his head. The
Governor brought the criminals to Yezd, but did nothing to them. Manukji got
leave to take them to Tehran. The Prime Minister, however, told him that no
Mussulman would be killed for a Zardushti, or Zoroastrian, and that they would
only be bastinadoed. About this time Manukji enquired whether it was true that
the blood-price of a Zardushti was to be seven tomans. He got back the reply
that it was to be a little over.
The Yezd Parsis have been helped considerably by agents from Bombay, who are
British subjects, and of late years things have improved slightly.
f. Jihad in the Modern Era
Following its defeat at the walls of Vienna in 1683, Islam entered a period of
strategic decline in which it was increasingly dominated by the rising European
colonial powers. Due to its material weakness vis-à-vis the West, dar al-Islam
was unable to prosecute large-scale military campaigns into infidel territory.
The Islamic Empire, then ruled by the Ottoman Turks, was reduced to fending of
the increasingly predatory European powers.
In 1856, Western pressure compelled the Ottoman government to suspend the dhimma
under which the Empire's non-Muslim subjects laboured. This provided hitherto
unknown opportunities for social and personal improvement by the former dhimmis,
but it also fomented resentment by orthodox Muslims who saw this as a violation
of the Sharia and their Allah-given superiority over unbelievers.
By the late 19th century, tensions among the European subjects of the Empire
broke out into the open when the Ottoman government massacred 30,000 Bulgarians
in 1876 for allegedly rebelling against Ottoman rule. Following Western
intervention that resulted in Bulgarian independence, the Ottoman government and
its Muslim subjects were increasingly nervous about other non-Muslim groups
seeking independence.
It was in this atmosphere that the first stage of the Armenian genocide took
place in 1896 with the slaughter of some 250,000 Armenians. Both civilians and
military personnel took place in the massacres. Peter Balakian, in his book, The
Burning Tigris, documents the whole horrific story. But the massacres of the
1890s were only the prelude to the much larger holocaust of 1915, which claimed
some 1.5 million lives. While various factors contributed to the slaughter,
there is no mistaking that the massacres were nothing other than a jihad waged
against the Armenians, no longer protected as they were by the dhimma. In 1914,
as the Ottoman Empire entered World War I on the side of the central powers, an
official anti-Christian jihad was proclaimed.
To promote the idea of jihad, the sheikh-ul-Islam’s {the most senior religious
leader in the Ottoman Empire} published proclamation summoned the Muslim world
to arise and massacre its Christian oppressors. “Oh Moslems,” the document read,
“Ye who are smitten with happiness and are on the verge of sacrificing your life
and your good for the cause of right, and of braving perils, gather now around
the Imperial throne.” In the Ikdam, the Turkish newspaper that had just passed
into German ownership, the idea of jihad was underscored: “The deeds of our
enemies have brought down the wrath of God. A gleam of hope has appeared. All
Mohammedans, young and old, men, women, and children must fulfil their duty. …
If we do it, the deliverance of the subjected Mohammedan kingdoms is assured.” …
“He who kills even one unbeliever,” one pamphlet read, “of those who rule over
us, whether he does it secretly or openly, shall be rewarded by God.” (quoted in
Balakian, The Burning Tigris, 169-70.)
The anti-Christian jihad culminated in 1922 at Smyrna, on the Mediterranean
coast, where 150,000 Greek Christians were massacred by the Turkish army under
the indifferent eye of Allied warships. All in, from 1896-1923, some 2.5 million
Christians were killed, the first modern genocide, which to this day is denied
by the Turkish government.
Since the break-up of the Islamic Empire following World War I, various jihads
have been fought around the globe by the independent Muslim nations and
sub-state jihadist groups. The most sustained effort has been directed against
Israel, which has committed the unpardonable sin of rebuilding dar al-harb on
land formerly a part of dar al-Islam. Other prominent jihads include that fought
against the Soviets in Afghanistan, the Muslim Bosnians against the Serbs in the
former Yugoslavia, the Muslim Albanians against the Serbs in Kosovo, and the
Chechens against the Russians in the Caucasus. Jihads have also been waged
throughout northern Africa, the Philippines, Thailand, Kashmir, and a host of
other places throughout the world. In addition, the overwhelming majority of
terrorist attacks around the world have been committed by Muslims, including, of
course, the spectacular attacks of 9/11/01 (USA), 3/11/04 (Spain), and 7/7/05
(UK). (For a more comprehensive list of Muslim attacks, visit
www.thereligionofpeace.com.)
The fact is, the percentage of conflicts in the world today that do not include
Islam is pretty small. Islam is making a comeback.
3. Conclusion
The chief barrier today to a better understanding of Islam -- apart, perhaps,
from outright fear -- is sloppy language. Let us take, to start with, the
much-vaunted "war on terror." Upon scrutiny, the phrase "war on terror" makes as
much sense as a war on "blitzkrieg," "bullets," or "strategic bombing." The "war
on terror" implies that it is perfectly fine if the enemy seeks to destroy us --
and, indeed, succeeds in doing so -- as long as he does not employ "terror" in
the process.
"Terrorism," it should be obvious, is a tactic or stratagem used to advance a
goal; it is the goal of Islamic terrorism that we must come to understand, and
this logically requires an understanding of Islam.
As we have seen, contrary to the widespread insistence that true Islam is
pacific even if a handful of its adherents are violent, the Islamic sources make
clear that engaging in violence against non-Muslims is a central and
indispensable principle to Islam. Islam is less a personal faith than a
political ideology that exists in a fundamental and permanent state of war with
non-Islamic civilisations, cultures, and individuals. The Islamic holy texts
outline a social, governmental, and economic system for all mankind. Those
cultures and individuals who do not submit to Islamic governance exist in an
ipso facto state of rebellion with Allah and must be forcibly brought into
submission. The misbegotten term "Islamo-fascism" is wholly redundant: Islam
itself is a kind of fascism that achieves its full and proper form only when it
assumes the powers of the state.
The spectacular acts of Islamic terrorism in the late 20th and early 21st
centuries are but the most recent manifestation of a global war of conquest that
Islam has been waging since the days of the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th Century
AD and that continues apace today. This is the simple, glaring truth that is
staring the world today in the face -- and which has stared it in the face
numerous times in the past -- but which it seems few today are willing to
contemplate.
It is important to realise that we have been talking about Islam -- not Islamic
"fundamentalism," "extremism," "fanaticism," "Islamo-fascism," or "Islamism,"
but Islam proper, Islam in its orthodox form as it has been understood and
practiced by right-believing Muslims from the time of Muhammad to the present.
The mounting episodes of Islamic terrorism in the late 20th and early 21st
centuries are due largely to the geo-strategic changes following the end of the
Cold War and the growing technical options available to terrorists.
With the collapse of Soviet hegemony over much of the Muslim world, coupled with
the burgeoning wealth of the Muslim oil-producing countries, the Muslim world
increasingly possesses the freedom and means to support jihad around the globe.
In short, the reason that Muslims are once again waging war against the
non-Muslim world is because they can.
It is paramount to note, however, that, even if no major terrorist attack ever
occurs on Western soil again, Islam still poses a mortal danger to the West. A
halt to terrorism would simply mean a change in Islam’s tactics -- perhaps
indicating a longer-term approach that would allow Muslim immigration and higher
birth rates to bring Islam closer to victory before the next round of violence.
It cannot be overemphasised that Muslim terrorism is a symptom of Islam that may
increase or decrease in intensity while Islam proper remains permanently
hostile.
Muhammad Taqi Partovi Samzevari, in his “Future of the Islamic Movement” (1986),
sums up the Islamic worldview.
Our own Prophet … was a general, a statesman, an administrator, an economist, a
jurist and a first-class manager all in one. … In the Qur’an’s historic vision
Allah’s support and the revolutionary struggle of the people must come together,
so that Satanic rulers are brought down and put to death. A people that is not
prepared to kill and to die in order to create a just society cannot expect any
support from Allah. The Almighty has promised us that the day will come when the
whole of mankind will live united under the banner of Islam, when the sign of
the Crescent, the symbol of Muhammad, will be supreme everywhere. … But that day
must be hastened through our Jihad, through our readiness to offer our lives and
to shed the unclean blood of those who do not see the light brought from the
Heavens by Muhammad in his mi’raj {“nocturnal voyages to the ‘court’ of Allah”}.
… It is Allah who puts the gun in our hand. But we cannot expect Him to pull the
trigger as well simply because we are faint-hearted.
It must be emphasised that all of the analysis provided here derives from the
Islamic sources themselves and is not the product of critical Western
scholarship. (Indeed, most modern Western scholarship of Islam is hardly
“critical” in any meaningful sense.) It is Islam’s self-interpretation that
necessitates and glorifies violence, not any foreign interpretation of it.
4. Frequently Asked Questions
There are a handful of questions that invariably arise when the point is made
that Islam is violent. These questions for the most part are misleading or
irrelevant and do not contest the actual evidence or arguments that violence is
inherent to Islam. Nonetheless, they have proven rhetorically effective in
deflecting serious scrutiny from Islam, and so I deal with some of them here.
a. What about the Crusades?
The obvious response to this question is, "Well, what about them?" Violence
committed in the name of other religions is logically unconnected to the
question of whether Islam is violent. But, by mentioning the Crusades, the hope
of the Islamic apologist is to draw attention away from Islamic violence and
paint religions in general as morally equivalent.
In both the Western academia and media as well as in the Islamic world, the
Crusades are viewed as wars of aggression fought by bloody-minded Christians
against peaceful Muslims. While the Crusades were certainly bloody, they are
more accurately understood as a belated Western response to centuries of jihad
than as an unprovoked, unilateral attack. Muslim rule in the Holy Land began in
the second half of the 7th century during the Arab wave of jihad with the
conquests of Damascus and Jerusalem by the second "rightly-guided Caliph," Umar.
After the initial bloody jihad, Christian and Jewish life there was tolerated
within the strictures of the dhimma and the Muslim Arabs generally permitted
Christians abroad to continue to make pilgrimage to their holy sites, a practice
which proved lucrative for the Muslim state. In the 11th century, the relatively
benign Arab administration of the Holy Land was replaced with that of Seljuk
Turks, due to civil war in the Islamic Empire. Throughout the latter half of the
11th century, the Turks waged war against the Christian Byzantine Empire and
pushed it back from its strongholds in Antioch and Anatolia (now Turkey). In
1071, Byzantine forces suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of Manzikert in
what is now Eastern Turkey. The Turks resumed the jihad in the Holy Land,
abusing, robbing, enslaving, and killing Christians there and throughout Asia
Minor. They threatened to cut off Christendom from its holiest site, the Church
of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, rebuilt under Byzantine stewardship after it
was destroyed by Caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah in 1009.
It was in this context of a renewed jihad in the Middle East that the Roman
Pope, Urban II, issued a call in 1095 for Western Christians to come to the aid
of their Eastern cousins (and seems to have harbored the hope of claiming
Jerusalem for the Papacy after the Great Schism with Eastern Christianity in
1054). This "armed pilgrimage," in which numerous civilians as well as soldiers
took part, would eventually become known years later as the First Crusade. The
idea of a "crusade" as we now understand that term, i.e., a Christian "holy
war," developed years later with the rise of such organisations as the Knights
Templar that made "crusading" a way of life. It worth noting that the most
ardent Crusaders, the Franks, were exactly those who had faced jihad and razzias
for centuries along the Franco-Spanish border and knew better than most the
horrors to which Muslims subjected Christians. At the time of the First Crusade,
the populations of Asia Minor, Syria, and Palestine, though ruled by Muslims,
were still overwhelmingly Christian. The "Crusading" campaigns of the Western
Christian armies were justified at the time as a war liberating the Eastern
Christians, whose population, lands, and culture had been devastated by
centuries of jihad and dhimmitude. Conquering territory for God in the mode of
jihad was an alien idea to Christianity and it should not be surprising that it
eventually died out in the West and never gained ascendancy in the East.
Following the very bloody capture of Jerusalem in 1099 by the Latin armies and
the establishment of the Crusader States in Edessa, Antioch, and Jerusalem, the
Muslim and Christian forces fought a see-saw series of wars, in which both
parties were guilty of the usual gamut of wartime immorality. Over time, even
with reinforcing Crusades waged from Europe, the Crusader States, strung out on
precarious lines of communication, slowly succumbed to superior Muslim power. In
1271, the last Christian citadel, Antioch, fell to the Muslims. No longer having
to divert forces to subdue the Christian beachhead on the Eastern Mediterranean,
the Muslims regrouped for a 400-year-long jihad against Southern and Eastern
Europe, which twice reached as far as Vienna before it was halted. In
geo-strategic terms, the Crusades can be viewed as an attempt by the West to
forestall its own destruction at the hands of Islamic jihad by carrying the
fight to the enemy. It worked for a while.
Significantly, while the West has for some time now lamented the Crusades as
mistaken, there has never been any mention from any serious Islamic authority of
regret for the centuries and centuries of jihad and dhimmitude perpetrated
against other societies. But this is hardly surprising: while religious violence
contradicts the fundamentals of Christianity, religious violence is written into
Islam's DNA.
b. If Islam is violent, why are so many Muslims peaceful?
This question is a bit like asking, "If Christianity teaches humility,
tolerance, and forgiveness, why are so many Christians arrogant, intolerant, and
vindictive?" The answer in both cases is obvious: in any religion or ideology
there will be many who profess, but do not practice, its tenets. Just as it is
often easier for a Christian to hit back, play holier-than-thou, or disdain
others, so it is often easier for a Muslim to stay at home rather than embark on
jihad. Hypocrites are everywhere.
Furthermore, there are also people who do not really understand their own faith
and so act outside of its prescribed boundaries. In Islam, there are likely many
Muslims who do not really understand their religion thanks to the importance of
reciting the Quran in Arabic but not having to understand it. It is the words
and sounds of the Quran that attract Allah's merciful attention rather than
Quranic knowledge on the part of the supplicant. Especially in the West, Muslims
here are more likely to be attracted by Western ways (which explains why they
are here) and less likely to act violently against the society to which they may
have fled from an Islamic tyranny abroad.
However, in any given social context, as Islam takes greater root -- increasing
numbers of followers, the construction of more mosques and "cultural centers,"
etc. -- the greater the likelihood that some number of its adherents will take
its violent precepts seriously. This is the problem that the West faces today.
c. What about the violent passages in the Bible?
First, violent Biblical passages are irrelevant to the question of whether Islam
is violent.
Second, the violent passages in the Bible certainly do no amount to a standing
order to commit violence against the rest of the world. Unlike the Quran, the
Bible is a huge collection of documents written by different people at different
times in different contexts, which allows for much greater interpretative
freedom. The Quran, on the other hand, comes exclusively from one source:
Muhammad. It is through the life of Muhammad that the Quran must be understood,
as the Quran itself says. His wars and killings both reflect and inform the
meaning of the Quran. Furthermore, the strict literalism of the Quran means that
there is no room for interpretation when it comes to its violent injunctions. As
it is through the example of Christ, the "Prince of Peace," that Christianity
interprets its scriptures, so it is through the example of the warlord and
despot Muhammad that Muslims understand the Quran.
d. Could an Islamic "Reformation" pacify Islam?
As should be plain to anyone who has examined the Islamic sources, to take the
violence out of Islam would require it to jettison two things: the Quran as the
word of Allah and Muhammad as Allah's prophet. In other words, to pacify Islam
would require its transformation into something that it is not. The Western
Christian Reformation, that is often used as an example, was an attempt
(successful or not) to recover the essence of Christianity, namely, the example
and teachings of Christ and the Apostles. Trying to get back to the example of
Muhammad would have very different consequences. Indeed, one may say that Islam
is today going through its "Reformation" with the increasing jihadist activity
around the globe. Today, Muslims of the Salafi ("early generations") school are
doing exactly that in focusing on the life of Muhammad and his early successors.
These reformers are known to their detractors by the derogative term Wahhabi.
Drawing their inspiration from Muhammad and the Quran, they are invariably
disposed to violence. The unhappy fact is that Islam today is what it has been
fourteen centuries: violent, intolerant, and expansionary. It is folly to think
that we, in the course of a few years or decades, are going to be able to change
the basic world outlook of a foreign civilisation. Islam's violent nature must
be accepted as given; only then will we be able to come up with appropriate
policy responses that can improve our chances of survival.
e. What about the history of Western colonialism in the Islamic world?
Following the defeat of the Ottoman army outside Vienna on September 11, 1683 by
Polish forces, Islam went into a period of strategic decline in which it was
overwhelmingly dominated by the European powers. Much of dar al-Islam was
colonised by the European powers who employed their superior technology and
exploited the rivalries within the Muslim world to establish colonial rule.
While many of the practices of the Western imperial powers in the governance of
their colonies were clearly unjust, it is utterly unwarranted to regard Western
imperialism -- as it often is -- as an endemic criminal enterprise that is the
basis of modern resentment against the West. It was only due to the assertive
role of the Western powers that modern nation-states such as India, Pakistan,
Israel, South Africa, Zimbabwe, etc. came to exist in the first place. Without
Western organisation, these areas would have likely remained chaotic and tribal
as they had existed for centuries.
When one looks at the post-colonial world, it is apparent that the most
successful post-colonial nations have a common attribute: they are not Muslim.
The United States, Australia, Hong Kong, Israel, India, and the South American
nations clearly outshine their Muslim-majority post-colonial counterparts --
Iraq, Algeria, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, etc. -- by just about any
standard.
f. How can a violent political ideology be the second-largest and
fastest-growing religion on earth?
It should not be surprising that a violent political ideology is proving so
attractive to much of the world. The attractive power of fascist ideas has been
proven through history. Islam combines the interior comfort provided by
religious faith with the outward power of a world-transforming political
ideology. Like the revolutionary violence of Communism, jihad offers an
altruistic justification for waging death and destruction. Such an ideology will
naturally draw to it violent-minded people while encouraging the non-violent to
take up arms themselves or support violence indirectly. Because something is
popular hardly makes it benign.
Furthermore, the areas in which Islam is growing most rapidly, such as Western
Europe, have been largely denuded of their religious and cultural heritage,
which leaves Islam as the only vibrant ideology available to those in search of
meaning.
g. Is it fair to paint all Islamic schools of thought as violent?
Islamic apologists often point out that Islam is not a monolith and that there
are differences of opinion among the different Islamic schools of thought. That
is true, but, while there are differences, there are also common elements. Just
as Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant Christians differ on many aspects of
Christianity, still they accept important common elements. So it is with Islam.
One of the common elements to all Islamic schools of thought is jihad,
understood as the obligation of the Ummah to conquer and subdue the world in the
name of Allah and rule it under Sharia law. The four Sunni Madhhabs (schools of
fiqh [Islamic religious jurisprudence]) -- Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali
-- all agree that there is a collective obligation on Muslims to make war on the
rest of the world. Furthermore, even the schools of thought outside Sunni
orthodoxy, including Sufism and the Jafari (Shia) school, agree on the necessity
of jihad. When it comes to matters of jihad, the different schools disagree on
such questions as whether infidels must first be asked to convert to Islam
before hostilities may begin (Osama bin Laden asked America to convert before
Al-Qaeda's attacks); how plunder should be distributed among victorious
jihadists; whether a long-term Fabian strategy (Wearing your opponent down)
against dar al-harb is preferable to an all-out frontal attack; etc.
h. What about the great achievements of Islamic civilisation through history?
Islamic achievements in the fields of art, literature, science, medicine, etc.
in no way refute the fact that Islam is intrinsically violent. Roman and Greek
civilisations produced many great achievements in these fields as well, but also
cultivated powerful traditions of violence. While giving the world the
brilliance of Virgil and Horace, Rome was also a home to gladiatorial combat,
the slaughter of Christians, and, at times, rampant militarism.
Furthermore, the achievements of Islamic civilisation are pretty modest given
its 1300 year history when compared to Western, Hindu, or Confucian
civilisations. Many Islamic achievements were in fact the result of non-Muslims
living within the Islamic Empire or of recent converts to Islam. One of the
greatest Islamic thinkers, Averroes, ran afoul of Islamic orthodoxy through his
study of non-Islamic (Greek) philosophy and his preference for Western modes of
thought. Once the dhimmi populations of the Empire dwindled toward the middle of
the second millennium AD, Islam began its social and cultural "decline."

1. Introduction
Tony Blair:
I wish to say finally as I’ve said many times before that this is not a war with
Islam. It angers me as it angers the vast majority of Muslims to hear Bin Laden
and his associates described as Islamic terrorists. They are terrorists pure and
simple. Islam is a peaceful and tolerant religion, and the acts of these people
are holy contrary to the teachings of the Quran.
George Bush:
We respect your faith. It’s practiced freely by many millions of Americans and
by millions more in countries that America counts as friends. Its teachings are
good and peaceful and those who commit evil in the name of Allah blaspheme the
name of Allah.
Bill Clinton:
Our actions were not aimed against Islam. The faith of hundreds of millions of
good, peace loving people all around the world including the United States. No
religion condones the murder of innocent men, women and children. But our
actions were aimed at fanatics and killers who wrapped murder in the cloak of
righteousness and in so doing profaned the great religion in whose name they
claim to act.
Serge Trifkovic, Foreign Affairs Editor, Chronicles Magazine
The tendency of western political leaders to deny the connection between
Orthodox Islamic Mainstream and terrorist violence are replicated in
Universities and the media wherever you look both in Western Europe and North
America.
The members of the elite class have the tendency to proclaim that Islam is
peaceful and tolerant and those Muslims related to violence are a non
representative group.
I would really appreciate if people who make such claims could then explain the
continuity of violence from the earliest day of Islam, from the earliest days of
the prophet Muhammad and his immediate successors throughout the 1300th century
of recorded history.
Robert Spencer, Author, Islam Unveiled, Director of Jihadwatch.org
Do Islam and an Islamic civilisation actually sanction the violence that we are
seeing being perpetrated in its name around the world?
If we are going to be honest about this we would have to answer an absolute yes.
The Islamic sources, the Islamic texts starting with the Quran but not limited
to the Quran, Islamic texts including the Hadith, Islamic tradition, Islamic
theology, Islamic law, the traditions of the interpretations of the Quran
throughout history and Islamic history itself; All bear witness to the fact that
Islam has a developed doctrine theology and law that mandates violence against
unbelievers.
Bat Ye’or, Author – The Dhimmi: Jews and Christians under Islam
The origins are, of course, in the Muslim desire to impose all over the world;
the only religion – the only just religion – which is Islam and the suppression
of all other religions in order to establish the rule of Allah throughout the
world. This is a religious duty, which binds the whole community, and which the
Muslim community is obliged to impose because they are obliged to obey the order
of Allah and this is the desire of Allah as expressed in the Quranic revelation.
Abdullah Al-Araby – Director, The Pen vs. The Sword Publications
I believe that those terrorists that want to do harm to others are applying the
true Islam who was practiced by Muhammad and his followers in the early stage of
Islam.
2. There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet
Robert Spencer
In Islamic theology the prophet Muhammad is considered ”
al-insan al-kamil”
the perfect man. The more a Muslim is like him the better off he is. So the
prophet Mohammad is revered today in the Islamic world as the primary model of
human behaviour.
Abdullah Al-Araby
As an illustration, the following examples by Muhammad inspire current
Palestinian groups to fight Jihad against the Jews in Palestine.
Authoritative Islamic History – The Life of Muhammad/Sirat Rasul Allah – By
Muhammad bin Ishaq (d 773 AD). Edited by Abdul Malik bin Hisham (d 840 AD).
Translated by Prof Alfred Guillaume (1955).
The life of Muhammad – P 464
They surrendered, and the Apostle confined them in Medina,,, Then the Apostle
went out to the market of Medina and dug trenches in it.
Robert Spencer
Another example which is the most chilling of the influence that Muhammad’s
influence has today on the Islamic world was exemplified recently by an Egyptian
leader of a radical Muslim party. He recently wrote that he couldn’t believe
that the beheadings in Iraq were being protested by Muslims. Weren’t they aware
that the prophet Muhammad himself beheaded between 600 and 900 men personally,
members of the Jewish Quraiza tribe in Arabia after he had defeated them. Didn’t
they realise that if the prophet did it then this was the proper way to behave?
So the
Mujahideen
in Iraq who were beheading people are simply obeying the example of the prophet.
Now we can see then, since the prophet Muhammad himself participated in many
battles and raids and did indeed perpetrate these beheadings, he ordered the
assassination of several of his political opponents and he behaved in general
like a typical 7th century warlord. The problem is that when this is transferred
to 21st century behaviour and 21st century contexts of behaviour then what you
get are terrorists.
The Quran occupies a place that has no parallel in Western civilisation. The
Quran is considered by Muslims and by traditional Islamic theology to be
dictated word for word by Allah himself through the Angel Gabriel to the prophet
Muhammad. As a result every word of it is the word of Allah himself. Every word
of the Quran except if it is cancelled by another section of the Quran itself is
valid for all time and can not be questioned, can not be reformed, can not be
changed within an Islamic context. This means that moderate Muslims, peaceful
Muslims if they are sincere, have to reject entirely Quranic literalism but to
do so put them outside the sphere anything that has been considered orthodox
Islam throughout history. To do so is to reject the very basic premise of Islam
that this is a book that is dictated by Allah which is a perfect copy of a
perfect book, the “Umm Al-Kitāb”, the mother of the book that has existed
forever with Allah in heaven.
The Noble Koran
Translated with Parenthetical Notes by Dr. Muhammad Taqi-du-Din Al-Hilali and
Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan.
Sura 98 Verse 6
Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islam, the Quran and the
prophet Muhammad) from among the People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)
and Al-Musrhikun (other disbelievers) will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are
he worst of creatures.
Serge Trifkovic
So the Quran is simply a set of direct commandments, descriptions, sometimes
much distorted descriptions of Judaism and Christianity. Because of the nature
of those commandments a second ”body” for Islamic interpretation is the Hadith,
the tradition of the prophet Muhammad.
Robert Spencer
The Hadith is absolutely necessary to make any sense of the Quran because Allah
addresses Mohammad in the Quran and they talk about incidents in Muhammad’s life
but they don’t fill in the narrative details. You have to go to the Hadith, the
traditions of the prophet Muhammad in order to understand what’s being said in
the Quran and why. The Hadith are many volumes of the traditions of the prophet,
various Muslim scholars beginning in the 8th century which is some considerable
time after the life of Mohammad who died in 632. They started to collect these
traditions and try to window out the authentic ones from the in-authentic. From
an Islamic standpoint, if something Muhammad said or did is recorded in of those
books then it has authority second only to the Quran. And in those books there
is a great that illuminates what the Quran says and how it is applicable to
Muslims in the presence.
Authoritative Traditions of the prophet Muhammad
– The Hadith’s of Sahih Al-Bukhari, translated with Parenthetical Notes by Dr
Muhammad Muhsin Khan.
Sahih Al- Bukhari
Vol 4, Bk 52, Hadith 53
The Prophet said; ”Nobody who dies and finds good from Allah (in the Hereafter)
would wish to come back to this world even if he were given the whole world and
whatever is in it.
… except the martyr who, on seeing the superiority of martyrdom, would like to
come back to the world and get killed again (in Allah’s Cause).
The Prophet said, ”A single endeavour (of fighting) in Allah’s Cause in the
afternoon or in the forenoon is better than all the world and whatever is in
it.”
Serge Trifkovic
Since there is no sense of natural morality in Islam you have to go in to the
Quran or the Hadith to find out what is allowed and what is not allowed
Robert Spencer
And in those books we have very clear instructions from Muhammad that it is the
responsibility of every Muslim to
meet the unbelievers on the battlefield to invite them either to accept Islam or
to accept second class Dhimmi status in the Islamic state. If they refuse both
alternatives then they will wage war against them.
Sura 9 Verse 29
Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid
that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger.
… and fight against those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e.,
Islam) among the People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay
the Jizyah (Tax for Jews/Christians) with willing submission and feel themselves
subdued.
The Quran is broken down into two sections, one is called Mecca which means what
was inspired to Muhammad in Mecca and one is called Medina, what was inspired to
Muhammad in Medina.
In Mecca you find many of the peaceful Verses, Mohammad used to live with the
Jewish and Christian community in peace and harmony. Those Verses almost
invariably date back to beginning of Muhammad’s prophetic career and his native
city of Mecca where he was powerless, where he was only beginning to attract
followers.
Abdullah Al-Araby –
Director, the Pen vs. the Sword Publications
Only relatives and friends accepted the religion at that time. He has many foes
so the revelations of that time are very peaceful. This all changes with the
establishment of Muhammad’s theocratic state let in the city of Medina. He
becomes a warlord and head of a totalitarian state, he becomes very rich and
powerful and very intolerant and then many of these early Verses get abrogated.
In Sura 2 Verse 106 Allah says that if I abrogate a Verse I will give you one
that is better.
Sura 2 Verse 106
Whatever a Verse (revelation) do we abrogate or cause to be forgotten, we bring
a better one or similar to it. Know you not that Allah is able to do all things?
Robert Spencer
This is the basis, the foundation of the Quranic doctrine of
”
Naskh” which is abrogation. And it is the idea that when there are
Verses that are contradictory in the Quran the one that is revealed later
chronologically is better as Allah has promised and cancels the earlier one.
Walid Shoebat – Former Muslim and member of PLO Fatah Brigade, Author; Why I
Left Jihad
Now the violence started, now you had to weigh between peaceful Verses and
non-peaceful Verses. The result was that the peaceful ones were made null and
void.
Serge Trifkovic
It is indeed a very curious concept for a non-Muslim to accept a notion that God
may change his mind about a topic. He may issue one injunction in AD 614;
Sura 2 Verse 256
There is no compulsion (i.e., coercion) in religion.
And then a very different one in AD 627;
Sura 9 Verse 5
Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them. …But if they repent and accept
Islam … then leave their way free.
But this is indeed what has happened in Islam.
Robert Spencer
It’s very important to understand that the Quran is not arranged
chronologically, it’s arranged on the basis of the longest chapter to the
shortest.
Serge Trifkovic
So you will find in the book itself some of these more tolerant Verses at a
later point in the book than the very intolerant ones advocating violence and
the subjugation of the infidels. But that doesn’t mean they came into being
later, on quite the contrary. It is therefore the ones that came in ”Medina”
that retains their validity and the ones that came early in Mecca that have been
abrogated.
Walid Shoebat
The peaceful Verses became null and void compared to Verses of the Sword.
Robert Spencer
Traditional Islamic theology has it that the ninth chapter of the Quran – Sura
9, is the last revealed in the career of the prophet. And it is the only one
that doesn’t begin with; In the name of Allah the compassionate, the merciful.
Some have said that’s because there is no compassion or mercy in this particular
chapter and that it is the Quran’s last word on Jihad and in particular on how
Muslims should behave toward unbelievers. In it is the celebrated Verse of the
Sword.
Walid Shoebat
So what does the Verse of the Sword say? It’s very clear; Kill the people of the
book (Christians and Jews) wherever you find them, lay siege for them, lay
ambush for them, kill them wherever you find them. In fact, I converted to
Christianity, Mohammad clearly stated that on the end of days there will be many
who defect from the faith, kill them when you see them wherever you find them.
So this is the question the West needs to understand, what part of kill don’t
they understand?
3. The struggle
Condoleezza Rice;
We are a country that judges people not by their religious beliefs and not by
their colour but by the fact that we are all Americans so that was the first
part of the message. The second part of the message is that we have a lot of
friends around the world who are Muslim, we have countries that are long friends
of the United States who are of the Islamic faith and the President want it to
be very clear that this is not a war of civilisations, this is not a war against
Islam. This is a war against people who in many ways pervert what Islam stands
for. Islam stands for peace and stands for non-violence.
Robert Spencer
Islam and the Islamic civilisation are unique in their stance against
non-believers. Islam is the only religion in the world that has a developed
doctrine theology and law that mandates violence against un-believers. It is no
doubt that there are peaceful Muslims, that there are Muslims around the world
who are moderate, who live in harmony with their non-Muslim neighbours and have
no intention of ever waging war against them in any way. But the fact is that
they have a very slim justification for their own peacefulness within the
Islamic sources themselves. They are only at peace with their neighbours so far
as they are either ignorant of what Islam teaches about how Muslims should
behave toward un-believers or they have explicitly and consciously rejected
those elements of Islam. In short there are peaceful and moderate Muslims but no
peaceful and moderate Islam.
The idea that Islam is a religion of peace however is paradoxically even held by
the most violent and radical of Muslims. Sayved Qutb, the Egyptian Muslim
theorist (1906-1966, wrote Islam and Universal Peace), whose writings are
revered by radical Muslims and terrorists today. He wrote and insisted that
Islam is a religion of peace. When you study his writings it becomes clear that
he meant that Islam is dedicated to establishing the hegemony of Islamic law
throughout the world. When that hegemony is established peace will reign in the
world. Therefore, Islam is a religion of peace.
Walid Shoebat
The problem is that the peaceful Muslims don’t understand the ”edicts” that
comes out of the jurisprudence of Islam. If you look at the interpretation of
these Verses in Al-Azhar University, in Islamic Sharia schools in Jerusalem, in
Jordan, In Syria, In Damascus, all throughout the Middle East the jurisprudence
of Islam clearly state that the Verse of the Sword make the peaceful Verses null
and void. So what does the Verse of the Sword say?
Sura 9 Verse 5
Then when the sacred months (the 1st, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic
calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikun (un-believers) wherever you find
them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each and every
ambush. But if they repent and perform Iqamat-as-Salat (The Islamic prayers),
and give Zakat, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful.
Walid Shoebat
Kill them when you see them, wherever you find them. This is not an allegoric
kill, it’s a literal kill. Its the killing of Zarqawi right in front of the
camera, its the lynching that you see in Ramallah, its the killing of more than
a million Sudanese, cutting the hands and feet from opposite sides. And here’s a
dilemma. Even the peaceful Verse that is quoted by Bush, the Verse goes as
follows;
Whoever kills a life without just cause or for doing mischief in the land then
he has killed the entire earth.
You will find the same Verse in the Judea biblical tradition but most Westerners
stop after that Verse. It continues; But those that do mischief in the land,
then cut their hands and their feet from opposite sides and crucify them. And
that is what you see happen in Afghanistan, in Sudan, a huge amount of
crucifixions, killings and beheadings. There are also amputations and public
assassinations. They really want to revive Islam as it used to be. This is why
they call it Islamic fundamentalism.
Sura 5 Verse 33
The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do
mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified, or their
hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the
land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the
Hereafter.
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Vol 8, Bk 82, Hadith 795
The Prophet cut off the hands and feet of the men belonging to the tribe of
Uraina and did not cauterise their bleeding limbs till they died.
Walid Shoebat
In Islam’s thinking, the assurance of your salvation is dying as a martyr. In
accordance to the Verse in the Quran; ”Do
not think that the ones that die in Jihad are dead but are living”. So this
ensures salvation.
Robert Spencer
This is the calculus behind modern suicide bombing, modern Muslim advocates will
say; “Islam forbids suicide” and this
is plainly dishonest because all the defenders of suicide bombings in the
Islamic world start out by saying; “This
is not suicide”. The intention of the person is not to kill himself. The
intention of the person is to kill others. And that is sanctioned because it is
Islamic Jihad. And if they in the process are killed themselves, that’s an
unavoidable consequence of their actions and they will be rewarded with the
reward of martyrs in paradise.
Serge Trifkovic
The Quran is quite clear about heavenly reward for a Jihadist who falls fighting
in the path of Allah. He will be granted instant access to paradise and a Muslim
paradise is an extremely sensual one. It is full of “whories”
– black eyed beauties (72 virgins) that will await the martyr and the
gratification that follows is endless.
Robert Spencer
The Quran contains no guarantee of paradise except for those who slay and are
slain in the cause of Allah.
Sura 9 Verse 111
Verily, Allah has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties;
for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allah’s cause, so
they kill others and are killed. Then rejoice in the bargain which you have
concluded. That is the supreme success.
Robert Spencer
In other words, the guarantees of paradise are for people who are killed while
they are killing to establish the hegemony of Allah or Islamic law in the world.
Jihad can be spiritual or physical. The spiritual Jihad is striving to be a
better Muslim. The physical Jihad is however something that can’t be ignored.
Walid Shoebat
Jihad in Islam means struggle. That’s the literal meaning of the word. But what
the West doesn’t understand is that there are more than 100 Hadith’s about
Jihad. And if you look at every single one of them they all contain a sword, war
or a military effort.
Serge Trifkovic
It is a very dangerous element of the Islamic teaching because this instant
gratification from martyrdom is an attractive concept. When a so called martyr
operation is carried out by f. example Hamas what is announced from the minarets
in Mosques is not the deaths of person “x”, who carried out the attack, but the
wedding of person “x” to the whories (70 virgins). In other words they
immediately make the implication that person “x’s” family, parents etc, instead
of cry and mourn over the disappearance and end of his physical life should
instead celebrate, be happy and throw a party because their son is now not only
being transported to paradise but greeted there by 70 virgins.
Walid Shoebat
The word Shaheed means witness, to testify. To testify that there is no God but
Allah and Muhammad is his messenger. And you die as a Shadeed for that cause.
You’re a witness, a martyr. And a martyr becomes glorified. You’re family will
glorify you after you die.
As a Muslim fundamentalist living in the Middle East, you have to be initiated.
You have to basically kill your first Jew or destroy your first Zionist
infrastructure. You have to prove without a shadow of a doubt that you are
worthy. And there are ample amounts of students, teenagers, men who are willing
to die a martyr’s death, willing to put explosives. The martyr applications are
filled. There are many applicants. There are not enough bombs to fulfil the
applicants. And to get on one of those missions you have to be a strong
candidate, you have to be violent enough, you have to have joined every
demonstration in the streets of Jerusalem, in Bethlehem, you have to show that
you are worthy of a greater operation. If you are about to die or are taking a
considerate amount of risk you struggle between the requirements of your Islamic
upbringing and between the realities that you value your life.
4. Expansion
Robert Spencer
Islam understands its earthly mission to extend the law of Allah over the world
by force. Now this is distinct from extending the religion by force. Muslims
often indignantly deny that Islam was spread by the sword as the old expression
goes and that anybody is ever forced to convert to Islam. Forced conversions are
a constant hallmark of Islamic history but they are technically forbidden by
Islamic law. The idea in Islam is that Muslims must wage war to establish the
hegemony of Islamic law. Not everyone will be forced to become Muslim but the
non-Muslims will be relegated to second class status. They will not be able to
live in the society as equals to the Muslims and it is the responsibility of
Muslims around the world to fight, to institute that kind of society.
Sahih Al-Bukhari – Vol 4, Bk 53, Hadith 392
While we were in the Mosque, the Prophet came out and said, ”Let us go to the
Jews”. We went out till we reached Bait-ul-Midras. He said to them, ”If you
embrace Islam, you will be safe. You should know that the earth belongs to Allah
and His Apostle, and I want to expel you from this land. So, if anyone amongst
you owns some property, he is permitted to sell it, otherwise you should know
that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle.
Bat Ye’or
The Muslims see the extension of Jihad as a war liberating the infidels from
their infidelity and a privilege for them to enter in the religion of Islam and
to abandon their wrong belief. So Jihad is seen as a favour which is given to
the infidel population in order to change their ways and convert to the true
religion; Islam.
Sura 8, Verse 67
It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with
ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You
desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the
captives), but Allah desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allah is All-Mighty,
All-Wise.
Walid Shoebat
In the Muslim thinking, in the Muslim Sharia, the way the world is depicted in
two houses; the House of Islam or the House of War. So the whole world is under
these two houses. If you’re not a Muslim you’re under the House of War. In the
West the Islamic apologists would say; no, that’s not accurate. it is the House
of Peace and the House of Islam. And in fact that’s not accurate, if you look in
the Hadith and if you look what comes from the highest jurisprudence in the
Middle East that’s what is being taught.
Bat Ye’or
Now the infidel populations are seeing this war as a genocidal war since as it
is described by the Muslim historians of Jihad as well as extremely numerous
Christian sources this war was conducted in great ferocity, whole cities were
given up to massacres, entire populations were deported in slavery or massacred.
Sahih Al-Bukhari – Vol 4, Bk 53, Hadith 386
Umar sent the Muslims to the great countries to fight the pagans. … When we
reached the land of the enemy, the representative of Khosrau (Persia) came out
with forty-thousand warriors, and an interpreter got up saying, ”Let one of you
talk to me!” Al-Mughira replied… ”Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has
ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah alone or give Jizyah (tribute)
and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says: Whoever amongst us is killed
(martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never
seen, and whoever amongst us remains alive, shall become your master.
Bat Ye’or
There have been two big waves of Jihad; the Arab waves which started in the 7th
century and in the cause of only one century had Islamised huge territories,
mainly Christian territory from Portugal to Armenia but also Persia. Iraq was at
the time Christian in the north and Jewish/Christian in the south.
First wave
634 AD Battle of Basra (Christian/Jewish)
635 AD Damascus Conquered
636 AD Ctesiphon Conquered
637 AD Jerusalem Conquered
641 AD Alexandria Conquered
666 AD Sicily Conquered
670 AD Kabul Conquered
698 AD Carthage Conquered
711 AD Southern Spain Conquered
720 AD Narbonne (South France) Conquered
732 AD Battle of Poitiers – Muslim Advance Halted
Second wave
1064 AD Armenia Conquered
1071 AD Battle of Manzikert
1331 AD Nicaea Conquered
1453 AD Constantinople Conquered
1460 AD Greece Conquered
1389 AD Battle of Kosovo
1521 AD Belgrade Conquered
1683 AD Siege of Vienna – Muslim Advance halted
The second wave of Islamisation started in the eleventh century with the Turkish
tribes. All the regions of Eastern Europe, Anatolia which was the seat of the
Christian Byzantine Empire (Now Turkey), Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania. All
the countries around the Mediterranean which once were Christian became the
Islamic Empire.
This Turkish wave lasted from the eleventh century until the seventeenth century
where the Ottoman army was stopped at the gate of Vienna in 1683.
The Crusades 1095-1270 AD
Serge Trifkovic
The Crusades are not understood in the Muslim world today very differently to
the way they are understood in the Western academia and among the Western elite
class. Both talk of the Crusades as an aggressive war of conquest by Christian
Europe against peaceful innocent Muslims. One may ask however what those Muslims
were doing in the holy land in the first place. What happened was that Muhammad
and his successors laid a series of wars of conquest and in one such onslaught
in 624 AD the holy land – Palestine, Jerusalem was conquered by Muslims. Then
Seljuk Turks started interfering with the ability of Christian pilgrims to go to
the Holy Land, Jerusalem. When their physical safety was no longer guaranteed,
the western Christians acted not only as re-conquerors of the Holy Land that had
been once theirs, they also acted quite rightly one might say as protectors of
their holy places. A defensive war in the case of the Muslims is even a war of
conquest. They are obligated to spread Islam but a land which had once been
Muslim in particular must be re-conquered and the Jihad is the rightful name of
that war of re-conquest. They could never accept the Crusader states in Antioch
and Jerusalem because they were ”dar
al-harb”
or “the
House of War”
– reinstated into ”
”Dar al-Islam” or ”the
House of Islam”.
This is a contemporary aspect of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which many
Westerners are not fully aware of.
Exactly the same psychology that prompted Saladin and others to fight the
Crusaders is now motivating Hamas. In both cases it is not only a matter of the
nationalistic desire of Arabs to expel Europeans and Jewish settlers. It is also
the Quranic obligation of all good Muslims to make sure the land once ruled by
Muslims will be reverted to their rule again.
From the British historian Hilaire Belloc’s – The Great Heresies – 1938
”… It has always seemed to me possible, and even probable, that there would be a
resurrection of Islam and that our sons or grandsons would see the renewal of
that tremendous struggle between the Christian culture and what has been for
more than a thousand years its greatest opponent.” ”The suggestion that Islam
may re-arise sounds fantastic – but this is only because men are always
powerfully affected by the immediate past: - one might say that they are blinded
by it…” ”But not so very long ago, less than a hundred years before the
Declaration of Independence… Vienna was almost taken and only saved by the
Christian army under the command of the King of Poland… on a date that ought to
be among the most famous in history --
September 11, 1683,
Robert Spencer
On September 11th, 1683 the siege of Vienna was broken. That was the high point
of Islamic Jihad expansion into Europe. After that Islam went into a decline and
the Islamic world was colonised and in a drastically weakened state. It seems
very likely, almost certain as far as I’m concerned that Osama Bin Laden chose
September 11 in 2001 to signal that the decline of the Islamic world was over
and that the Jihadists were back and that they were going to pick up where they
left of in Vienna in 1683.
Serge Trifkovic
If we look at the tectonic plates between the Islamic world and the non-Islamic
world today we notice something very interesting. That even very dI’Verse Muslim
societies which can not be easily branded under one civilisation label have
something in common and it is the tendency that they are in conflict with their
neighbours. If we look at the extreme outreach of Islam we see East Timor were
Indonesian Muslims slaughtered a third of the population of this former
Portuguese colony who are Roman Catholics. In Southern Philippines an extremely
violent Islamic rebellion has gradually escalated the last years. In Indonesia
itself we had religious conflicts in the Spice Islands where the Christian
minority are in danger of extinction. We have very active Islamic movements both
in Thailand and in China, Xingjian. On the Indian subcontinent the history is
tragic indeed, that’s where the Hindu holocaust took place in medieval times, a
little known episode in the history of Islam in the Western world, but a one
that left a deep traumatic mark on the people of the region and where the
conflict is still present in the province of Kashmir. In Africa there is the
constant war in Sudan which has been going on since 1987. It’s hard to estimate
the number of lives that have been claimed but its most likely several hundreds
of thousands. There is the constant instability in Nigeria between the resurgent
central northern states which are increasingly pressuring the government into
accepting Sharia law as the law of the lands in those provinces. And of course
there is Mauritania where Muslims constantly battle non-Muslim southerners. Then
there is of course Caucasus-Chechnya and in Europe itself we have the conflict
in former Yugoslavia between the Bosnian Muslims, Serbs and Croats and the
conflict between Albanians, Serbs and Macedonians and quite possibly within not
too long the conflict between the Albanians and Greeks. If we eliminate these
conflicts, Chechnya, the Balkans, Sudan the world is a pretty peaceful place. If
we eliminate from the terrorist equation, terrorist acts carried out by Muslims
the past 5 years we would come to realise that the war on terror is un-necessary
because terror is not a very big problem.
5. War is Deceit
US Senator from Nevada;
I’ve been on the floor before speaking about Islam and what a great religion it
is. I’ve said before and I repeat; my wife’s primary physicians are two members
of the Islamic faith, her internist and the person that has performed surgery on
her. I know them well, been in their homes, socialised with them, talked about
very serious things with them; we’ve helped each other with family problems.
I’ve been to the new Mosque with them in Las Vegas. They are wonderful people
with great families and I’ve come to realise that Islam is a good religion, it’s
a good way of life, people have a good health code as their religion dictates
and they have great spiritual values as their religion dictates. It’s too bad
that there are some people, misdirected people, around the world trying to take
away from this very fine religion. I believe that they cannot give this religion
a bad name; I think that the power of this religion and the power of the people
in this religion will overcome these evil people that are using this fine
religion to do bad things to innocent people.
Robert Spencer
Islam is a religion and is a political system that dictates that one must carry
out warfare against un-believers until they either convert or submit. This is
the justification that the terrorists around the world are using for what they
are doing and that justification is based on core elements of Islamic tradition.
That being the case; it’s very difficult for moderate Muslims, peaceful Muslims
to stand up within the Islamic community and to say; this is not part of Islam.
They only do so out of conscious deception intending to mislead Westerners in
accord with the Islamic doctrine of ”
Taqiyya”
- religious deception, or they do so on the basis of simply being unaware of
what Islam actually teaches.
Sahih Al-Bukhari – Vol 4, Bk 52, Hadith 269
The Prophet said; ”War is deceit.”
Abdullah Al-Araby
Lying, generally speaking, is not allowed in Islam. But unlike other religions
there are certain situations where a Muslim can lie and that would be
acceptable, even encouraged. This concept is called ”al-Taqiyya”
which means ”prevention”. So a Muslim is allowed to lie to prevent harm that may
come to him, his group or to Islam
Robert Spencer
When one is under pressure one may lie in order to protect the religion. This is
taught in the Quran, Chapter 3, Verse 28 and Chapter 16, Verse 106.
Abdullah Al-Araby
There are certain provisions for lying. A Muslim can lie for the cause of Islam,
can lie to his family to keep peace, so he can lie to his wife. A Muslim can lie
to his fellow Muslim to keep peace in the society.
Mohammad himself ordered people to lie. When people that he ordered to go and
kill somebody, they told him; we cannot kill them unless we lie to that person.
He said; ok, fine, lie.
The life of Muhammad – P 367
The Apostle said… ”Who will rid me of Ibnul-Ashraf?” Muhammad bin Maslama,
brother of the Bani Abdul-Ashal, said, ”I will deal with him for you, O Apostle
of God, I will kill him”. The Apostle said; ”Do so if you can.” … He said, ”O
Apostle of God, we shall have to tell lies.” He answered; ”Say what you like,
for you are free in the matter.”
Serge Trifkovic
The spokesman for Islam in the Western world knows how to play the game. They
know how to present their cause in a way that is not only regarded as acceptable
by the society mainstream but also reasonable and just. They will appeal to
democratic institutions and their human rights in the full knowledge that given
the power to do so, they will abolish those institutions and deny those rights
to others.
Sahih Al-Bukhari – Vol 7, Bk 67, Hadith 427
”By Allah, and Allah willing, if I take an oath and later find something else
that is better than that, then I do what is better and expiate my oath.”
Walid Shoebat – Personal experiences around committing “al-Taqiyya”
When I used to work as a translator at the Luc College in Chicago we arranged
fund raising events for Jihadi movements, PLO being one of those organisations.
We handed out and placed announcements for the event on the walls of the
College. And I remember on Arabic
it would be basically the facts; bring your friends, we were intending to raise
funds to support our Jihadi brothers in Lebanon during the fighting in
Southern-Lebanon against Israel. And then comes the English part. In the English
part it would be the standard; we would be conducting a Middle-Eastern cultural
event, you are all welcome, we will be serving lamb and ”baklava”…
So the West really does not comprehend the magnitude of the “social deceit” that
is going on in every aspect of social life, even from moderate Muslims. When we
get together as a group our conversations are different. As soon as a Westerner
would come into the scene then the whole conversation changes. It becomes
compatible to western minds.
When I used to go to work, I worked for an American company during the Gulf war,
everyone would be hovering around the TV sets as soon as there was a scud
missile hitting Riad or something like that and everyone would be distraught,
unhappy if a scud lands in the American camp. And I would be among my American
colleagues and say; “oh that’s too bad,
I’m sorry that we had loss of life”. Out of frustration from having to keep
the truth of what I really felt I would roll down the window on my way home on
the freeway and scream as loud as I could; Allahu achbar!, Allahu achbar!
This is the incantation you do when the enemy is killed, when you win. So if it
was a victorious day for the Iraqi’s, when they land a scud missile it would be
“Allahu achbar” on the freeway where
no one could hear me. When I came home to my apartment the rest of the apartment
complex were also Arabs from the Middle East. We would get together in my
apartment, watch the Gulf war on satellite TV and we would be praising Allah
every time there was an incident where Americans got killed. But it wasn’t the
same face we put on in an American environment. In an American environment you
played a different scenario, you acted as if you were on their side. So this
whole façade is in place and the truth is often hidden from the west
Bat Ye’or
It was Edward Said, who wrote “Orientalism”, who is the main contributor in the
creation of the view of this new version of Islam as a religion of peace and
tolerance. These views are now established in all Western Universities and in
academia. On this basis the whole history of Dhimmitude and Jihad disappeared.
Robert Spencer
Edward Said who in his book “Orientalism” wrote that criticism of the Islamic
world on the part of Westerners was racist and imperialist. It is spread in
order to make political points, to accustom Westerners to the idea that Muslims
are here to stay in Europe and the US and that they must not be questioned in
terms of their loyalty to the secular framework of Western society. They must
not be questioned in this despite Islam’s historical, political character
because Islam is the religion of peace. This fiction has become so entrenched in
American and European public discourse such that anyone who does question it is
immediately branded as a racist, a hate monger and a bigot. Furthermore, this is
a very effective tool in a country where racism is the cardinal sin among all,
to silence any effective debate about the continuing attachment of Muslim
immigrants to Sharia law and their intentions toward the secular systems in
which they now reside.
6. More than a Religion
Spokesperson for the Bush administration:
This is not a clash between Islam or Arabs, this is about freedom, not culture.
It’s about working with Islamic governments who want to move forward into the
modern world. Working with Islamic governments who see their face as a face of
peace, and working against the violence and terror and the people who seek to
hold back the world and who seek to disrupt peace and freedom for others. So
that is what it’s about for us, the true faith of Islam, we believe, is a
religion of peace and we intend to work with them in that regard.
Abdullah Al-Araby
Islam has to be known as more than a religion. The idea that Islam is a
spiritual religion like f. example Christianity is completely incorrect.
Serge Trifkovic
It would be incorrect to describe Islam primarily as a religion. Since its early
beginning in Muhammad’s lifetime it has also been a geo political project and a
system of government and a political ideology.
Robert Spencer
Islam from its beginnings was both a religion and a system of government. F.
example; the Islamic calendar doesn’t base year 1 from the time that Muhammad
was born or the time that Muhammad received his first revelation from Allah
which I think that both are what Westerners might expect. Year 1 is from the
time that Muhammad became the leader of an army and a head of state in Medina.
This is the beginning of the Islamic calendar because in the Islamic
understanding Islam is a political and social system as well as an individual
faith.
Serge Trifkovic
In Islam the separation between temporal secular and religious power is not only
impossible, it is heretical. Only in the complete blending of all aspects of
human activity and all aspects of political and legal functions of the state can
we have the Caliphate, the properly organised state that is pleasing to Allah.
Walid
Shoebat
When Westerners think of religion whether its Islam, Christianity, Judaism,
Hinduism and Buddhism, Westerners think that it’s a personal issue, a Buddhist
will go to the temple and worship peacefully, a Jew goes to the temple and does
his “mitzvah”, a Muslim goes to the
mosque and pays “zakat”, a Christian
goes to church on Sunday to pray. They think it’s a personal issue, that
religion is a personal issue. So when they look at Islam they compare Islam with
the way they understand religions, and that’s the first mistake. Islam is not a
religion for personal use, Islam is Sharia law, Islam is a form of government to
the world, THEN a personal application. It is not just how you pray and that you
pray towards Mecca, it’s how you dress, you dress in Arab culture, you speak
Arabic, you can’t go to heaven unless you pray in Arabic, you can’t read the
Quran in English and expect to get good deeds to go to heaven. You read the
Quran in Arabic. It becomes an imperialistic system where everybody now must
speak Arabic, think Arabic and practice the religion in Arabic. it’s a form of
law, not just in how you eat but how you get married, how you deal with your
government, how you deal with your military, how you deal with the youth, how
you deal with women – EVERY aspect of your life becomes Islam. Everything is
Islam.
Sahih Al-Bukhari – Vol 2, Bk 23, Hadith 413
The Jews brought to the Prophet a man and a woman from amongst them who had
committed (adultery) illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet ordered both of
them to be stoned (to death) near the place of offering the funeral prayers
beside the mosque.
Sahih Al-Bukhari – Vol 7, Bk 62, Hadith 88
The Prophet wrote the marriage contract with Aisha while she was six years old
and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she
remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).
Robert Spencer
In no way is Islamic Sharia, Islamic government compatible with Western
understandings of human rights and freedom of conscience. Traditional Islam
forbids conversion from Islam and forbids anyone to leave Islam. There is no way
out. It forbids Muslims and non-Muslims to live as equals in society. It
mandates the second class status (dhimmi) of non-Muslims, forbidding them to
hold authority over Muslims thus forbidding them to hold certain jobs as a
result. It even historically mandated that houses of worship (of Jews and
Christians) were neither to be built or repaired resulting in communities ending
up in a constant state of decline.
Sura 5, Verse 51
O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya (friends,
protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Auliya to one another. And if any
amongst you takes them as Auliya, then surely he is one of them.
Serge Trifkovic
It is not possible for a non-Muslim, living in a Muslim society to invoke his
civil rights and human rights that would be independent or separate from the
Sharia concept. He is expected to submit to Sharia willingly and if he accepts
his Dhimmitude he will be a protected person. A protected person is someone who
is in fact a willing subordinate to the Muslim overlords.
The life of Muhammad – P 368
We saluted him as he stood praying, and he came out to us, and we told him that
we had killed God’s enemy. He spat upon our comrade’s wounds and both he and we
returned to our families.
Our attack upon God’s enemy cast terror among the Jews, and there was no Jew in
Medina who did not fear for his life.
Walid Shoebat
Muhammad very clearly said, which is documented through the Hadith, that; “I
have been ordered to fight until everyone says that “there is no god but Allah
and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah”. This is how Islam spread to
North-Africa, this is how Islam spread all the way to Indonesia and this is how
Islam spread throughout the Middle-East. Syria was not a Muslim country, Lebanon
was not Muslim. Saudi Arabia even, was a mixed multitude. That is how Islam
spread all throughout the Middle-East, by the sword. This is why you don’t see
any synagogues and churches in Saudi Arabia. Christianity is virtually
non-existent. Even in the village in Bethlehem, Muslims are taking over. There
is only 20% left of the Christian population. In Lebanon, Christian Lebanese are
moving by the droves, Hezbollah there are very active. Lebanon used to be a
Christian nation. Now all of a sudden it is being Islamised so Islam is on the
move and has been since its creation.
Robert Spencer
Muslims who come to the United States and come to Europe with an idea that
Sharia is the law of Allah, they look upon our freedom of religion and they look
upon the fact that non-Muslims are in power making laws that are not on the
basis of the law of Allah but on the basis of consensus and free elections. They
look upon all that as a manifestation of “Jahelia”
or unbelief - the pre-Islamic period of ignorance, as the times in any nation’s
history before it became Muslim. You have Pakistan, Iran and so on; they refer
to the period of their history before they became Muslim as the period of “Jahelia”.
They will also consider the United States and Europe to be in periods of Jahelia
today. And many Muslims coming into the United States and Western Europe will
work to establish Islamic mechanisms of government here where the goal is to
create Islamic states on the basis of the idea that secular states and the state
based on elections has no legitimacy. You don’t have elections about the law of
Allah, you simply obey what God says.
7. The House of War
Robert Spencer
The most important thing of what the west needs to know about Islam today is
that it has a political character and that it is not simply a religion. It is a
religion and a belief system that mandates warfare against unbelievers for the
purpose for establishing a societal model that is absolutely incompatible with
Western society. Americans needs to know this, Europeans need to know this
because Muslims are coming in to Western countries while holding these beliefs
and intending to act upon them. They are the motivation behind modern terrorist
activity and they are the goals of millions of Muslims in the West and around
the world. We need to know this so that we can protect ourselves. But
unfortunately because of political correctness and because of media and general
government unwillingness to face the sources of Islamic terrorism these things
remain largely unknown.
Walid Shoebat
Islamic fundamentalism is a sleeper cell in Europe and the US. A good casing
point is Saladin. Saladin is a great hero in Islam. Saladin was the one who
defeated the Crusades. There was a treaty that was supposed to be happening
between the Crusaders and Saladin and the story goes as follows; the Arab
mediator came to Saladin and said – the Quran says: “If
they concede to peace than concede to it”, which means that if the enemy
wants peace let’s have peace which is a Verse you can find directly in the
Quran. And Saladin responded with a great answer when he stated to the guy; you
are an Arab and I’m a Kurd. You should know the Quran better than me... Don’t
forget that the Quran also says; “Why
should we concede for peace when we have the upper hand”. So you find both
Verses in the Quran. You concede to peace when you are the weaker party. This is
why you hear the term “hudna”. “Hudna”
is a peace treaty, a cease fire. In Iraq, Sadr asked for hudna because he knew
he couldn’t defeat the Americans. You find hudna’s in several conflicts when the
enemy is stronger than you are. But as soon as you gain strength then you don’t
concede for peace. This is why the face of Islamic fundamentalism in the West
has a façade that Islam is a peaceful religion. Because they are waiting to have
more Islamic immigrants, they are waiting to increase in number, waiting to
increase their political power. Once they do then history will repeat itself.
You will see the real face of Islamic fundamentalism here in your country.
Robert Spencer
It’s unfortunate but it’s no negotiating with Jihadists. There is no striking a
deal with them. Islamic law is very clear on that and here once again is an
example; we need to take Islam seriously! Islamic law does not allow for
treaties. It does not allow for negotiated settlements between Muslim states and
non-Muslim states. All it allows for is a temporary period of up to 10 years of
hudna or what is commonly translated as truce. To allow the Islamic forces to
gather its strength. But that’s not the same as peace as we know it. That’s not
the same as the absence of the state of war, that’s only a temporary truce. In a
war that the Jihadists consider has gone on for 14 centuries and are willing to
fight for 14 more.
Sura 47, Verse 4
So, when you meet (in fight, Jihad in Allah’s Cause) those who disbelieve, smite
at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a
bond firmly on them (i.e. take them as captives). … Thus you are ordered by
Allah to continue in carrying out Jihad against the disbelievers till they
embrace Islam (i.e. are saved from the punishment in the Hell-fire) or at least
come under your protection), but if it had been Allah’s Will, He Himself could
certainly have punished them (without you). But (he lets you fight), In order to
test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allah, He
will never let their deeds be lost.
Serge Trifkovic
In Islamic thinking the world is divided into the “House of Islam”, where
Islamic law has been established, where Allah rules supreme, and the “House of
War” which is the rest of the world. This dichotomy is reminiscent of other
totalitarian ideologies and most explicitly communism. Both communism and Islam
seek the end of history in this world. The end of history will come when the
entire world becomes Islam or when the proletarian revolution brings the working
class to power all over the world which will be the end of state, the end of
money and the end of class oppression. In both cases it is possible to have a
period of truce. It is possible to have peaceful co-existence but that peaceful
co-existence is a tactical ploy and not a permanent solution.
Sahih Al-Bukhari – Vol 4, Bk 52, Hadith 196
Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight with the people till they
say, none has the right to be worshipped but Allah.
Robert Spencer
If we consider that, if only we changed our policies toward Israel and if only
we changed our policies toward Iraq or changed our policies on something else,
if only we hadn’t taken out the “Mossadegh regime” in Iran in 1953… These ideas
are ridiculous. They are based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the motives
and goals of the Jihadists. This is not a conflict that was created with the
creation of the state of Israel or a conflict that was created when the American
army went into Iraq. The global Jihad has been going on without any significant
interruption since the 7th century. And it only declined in force and
activity at periods when the Islamic world was too weak to prosecute it.
Bat Ye’or
The question now that we have to ask ourselves is; do we want to preserve our
Judea-Christian values and our own civilisation or do we want, do we choose to
go towards a dhimmitude, an enlarged dhimmitude in Europe which will engulf the
whole of Europe. This process is not that imminent for the US but it will result
in US isolation. It will have to deal in geopolitics with an Islamised, Dhimmi
Europe. And these are problems that have to be taken into consideration by
Europeans and Americans themselves in choosing their identity and their future –
freedom or dhimmitude.
Serge Trifkovic
In order to defend itself against the onslaught of global Jihad which will come
in the century ahead, the West would need to really find itself and to say; what
exactly is the geographic and cultural space to be defended and in the name of
what? Defending the West in the name of the ideology of multiculturalism would
be impossible. Multiculturalism and post-modern liberalism are not worthy dying
for. They are not something that can inspire people to do what their ancestors
had done at “Poitier” during the first wave and at the walls of Vienna in 1683
during the second wave. What global Jihad has on its side is simple minded
commitment of millions of people to not only spread the faith but also better
themselves at the expense of the infidel in the first instance through
immigration and later on if necessary by other means.
Walid Shoebat
What the west needs to understand about Islam is that Islam has the potential of
replacing the dangers that National Socialism and Communism brought with them.
Like Nazism and like communism, in Islamism the end justifies the means. There
is no respect for national borders. And the whole ideology is to promote their
way of thinking and to promote their way of life throughout the entire world.
That’s what’s being taught in the Middle-East, that’s what’s coming out from all
the jurisprudence in Saudi Arabia and all throughout the Muslim world. Islam
will conquer and will continue to conquer until it triumphs, until everyone in
the world says; there’s no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet.
Serge Trifkovic
The peculiarity of Islam has to be faced. Unlike others, and I’m against saying
this in the full knowledge that it will offend some Westerners, unlike the
Hindus, unlike the Confucians, unlike the enemies of sub-Saharan Africa, the
Muslims have an inherent tendency to expand and to convert the rest of the
world. Not only to their religion but to their outlook and to their legal and
moral system. They will not state this openly while they’re in a minority in the
countries to which they immigrate, but we have seen this time and over again
throughout history. Once they reach the numbers necessary to impose their will
they will do so.
Miracles do happen. I do not know if it is another maybe even deadlier terrorist
attack that will act as a catalyst or whether it will be a geo-political
confrontation in the Middle-East itself, with Israel perhaps at serious peril,
but I do hope and trust that a jolt will bring back into the minds and hearts of
Europeans the awareness of the need to stand up and be counted. Before it is too
late…

A public protest in Washington, DC, April 5, 2005 highlighted the current
(ongoing, for centuries) plight of black Mauritanians enslaved by Arab masters.
The final two decades of the 20th century, moreover, witnessed a frank jihad
genocide, including mass enslavement, perpetrated by the Arab Muslim Khartoum
government against black Christians and animists in the Southern Sudan,
and the same governments continued massacres and enslavement of Animist—Muslim
blacks in Darfur. These tragic contemporary phenomena reflect the brutal
living legacy of jihad slavery.
Jihad Slavery
The fixed linkage between jihad - a permanent, uniquely Islamic institution— and
enslavement, provides a very tenable explanation for the unparalleled scale and
persistence of slavery in Muslim dominions, and societies. This general
observation applies as well to 'specialised' forms of slavery, including the
(procurement and) employment of eunuchs, slave soldiering (especially of
adolescents), other forms of child slavery, and harem slavery. Jihad slavery, in
its myriad manifestations, became a powerful instrument for both expansive
Islamisation, and the maintenance of Muslim societies.
Juridical Rationale and Role in Islamisation
Patricia Crone, in her recent analysis of the origins and development of Islamic
political thought, makes an important nexus between the mass captivity and
enslavement of non—Muslims during jihad campaigns, and the prominent role of
coercion in these major modalities of Islamisation. Following a successful
jihad, she notes:
Male captives might be killed or enslaved, whatever their religious affiliation.
(People of the Book were not protected by Islamic law until they had accepted
dhimma.)
Captives might also be given the choice between Islam and death, or they might
pronounce the confession of faith of their own accord to avoid execution:
jurists ruled that their change of status was to be accepted even though they
had only converted out of fear. Women and children captured in the course of the
campaigns were usually enslaved, again regardless of their faith...Nor should
the importance of captives be underestimated. Muslim warriors routinely took
large numbers of them. Leaving aside those who converted to avoid execution,
some were ransomed and the rest enslaved, usually for domestic use. Dispersed in
Muslim households, slaves almost always converted, encouraged or pressurised by
their masters, driven by a need to bond with others, or slowly, becoming
accustomed to seeing things through Muslim eyes even if they tried to resist.
Though neither the
dhimmi
nor the slave had been faced with a choice between Islam and death, it would be
absurd to deny that force played a major role in their conversion. [1]
For the idolatrous Hindus, enslaved in vast numbers during the waves of
jihad conquests that ravaged the Indian subcontinent for well over a half
millennium (beginning at the outset of the 8th century C.E.), the guiding
principles of Islamic law regarding their fate were unequivocally coercive.
Jihad slavery also contributed substantively to the growth of the Muslim
population in India. K.S. Lal elucidates both of these points: [2]
The Hindus who naturally resisted Muslim occupation were considered to be
rebels. Besides they were idolaters (mushrik) and could not be accorded the
status of Kafirs, of the People of the Book — Christians and Jews... Muslim
scriptures and treatises advocated jihad against idolaters for whom the law
advocated only Islam or death... The fact was that the Muslim regime was giving
[them] a choice between Islam and death only. Those who were killed in battle
were dead and gone; but their dependents were made slaves. They ceased to be
Hindus; they were made Musalmans in course of time if not immediately after
captivity...slave taking in India was the most flourishing and successful
[Muslim] missionary activity...Every Sultan, as [a] champion of Islam,
considered it a political necessity to plant or raise [the] Muslim population
all over India for the Islamisation of the country and countering native
resistance.
Vryonis describes how jihad slavery, as practiced by the Seljuk’s and early
Ottomans, was an important modality of Islamisation in Asia Minor during the
11th through the 14th century [3]:
A further contributing factor to the decline in the numbers of Christian
inhabitants was slavery...Since the beginning of the Arab razzias into the land
of Rum, human booty had come to constitute a very important portion of the
spoils. There is ample testimony in the contemporary accounts that this
situation did not change when the Turks took over the direction of the jihad in
Anatolia. They enslaved men, women, and children from all major urban centers
and from the countryside where the populations were defenceless. In the earlier
years before the Turkish settlements were permanently affected in Anatolia, the
captives were sent off to Persia and elsewhere, but after the establishment of
the Anatolian Turkish principalities, a portion of the enslaved were retained in
Anatolia for the service of the conquerors.
After characterising the coercive, often brutal methods used to impose the
devshirme child levy, and the resulting attrition of the native Christian
populations (i.e., from both expropriation and flight), Papoulia concludes that
this Ottoman institution, a method of Islamisation par excellence, also
constituted a de facto state of war: [4]
...that the sources speak of piasimo (seizure) aichmalotos paidon (capture) and
arpage paidon (grabbing of children) indicates that the children lost through
the devshirme were understood as casualties of war. Of course, the question
arises whether, according to Islamic law, it is possible to regard the devshirme
as a form of the state of war, although the Ottoman historians during the
empire's golden age attempted to interpret this measure as a consequence of
conquest by force be'anwa. It is true that the Greeks and the other peoples of
the Balkan peninsula did not as a rule surrender without resistance, and
therefore the fate of the conquered had to be determined according to the
principles of the Koran regarding the Ahl-al-Qitâb: i.e. either to be
exterminated or be compelled to convert to Islam or to enter the status of
protection, of aman, by paying the taxes and particularly the jizya (poll-tax).
The fact that the Ottomans, in the case of voluntary surrender, conceded certain
privileges one of which was exemption from this heavy burden, indicates that its
measure was understood as a penalisation for the resistance of the population
and the devshirme was an expression of the perpetuation of the state of war
between the conqueror and the conquered... the sole existence of the institution
of devshirme is sufficient to postulate the perpetuation of a state of war.
Under Shah Abbas I (1588—1626 C.E.), the Safavid Shi'ite theocracy of Iran
expanded its earlier system of slave razzias into the Christian Georgian and
Armenian areas of the Caucasus. Georgian, Armenian, and Circassian inhabitants
of the Caucasus were enslaved in large numbers, and converted, thereby, to Shi'a
Islam. The males were made to serve as (primarily) military or administrative
slaves, while the females were forced into harems. A transition apparently took
place between the 17th and 18th centuries such that fewer of the slaves came
from the Caucasus, while greater numbers came via the Persian Gulf, originating
from Africa. [5] Ricks notes that by the reign of Shah Sultan Husayn;
The size of the royal court had indeed expanded if the numbers of male and
female slaves including white and black eunuchs are any indicators. According to
a contemporary historian, Shah Sultan Husayn (d. 1722) made it a practice to
arrive at Isfahan's markets on the first days of the Iranian New Year (March 21)
with his entire court in attendance. It was estimated by the contemporary
recorder that 5,000 male and female black and white slaves including the 100
black eunuchs comprised the royal party. [6]
Clement Huart, writing in the early 20th century (1907), observed that slaves,
continued to be the most important component of the booty acquired during jihad
campaigns or razzias: [7]
Not too long ago several expeditions crossed Amoû-Deryâ, i.e. the southern
frontier of the steppes, and ravaged the eastern regions of Persia in order to
procure slaves; other campaigns were launched into the very heart of unexplored
Africa, setting fire to the inhabited areas and massacring the peaceful animist
populations that lived there.
Willis characterises the timeless Islamic rationale for the enslavement of such
'barbarous' African animists, as follows: [8]
...as the opposition of Islam to kufr erupted from every corner of malice and
mistrust, the lands of the enslavable barbarian became the favourite hunting
ground for the 'people of reason and faith'—the parallels between slave and
infidel began to fuse in the heat of jihad. Hence whether by capture or sale, it
was as slave and not citizen that the kafir was destined to enter the Muslim
domain. And since the condition of captives flowed from the status of their
territories, the choice between freedom and servility came to rest on a single
proof: the religion of a land is the religion of its amir (ruler); if he be
Muslim, the land is a land of Islam (dar al—Islam); if he be pagan, the
land is a land of unbelief (dar al—kufr). Appended to this principle was the
kindred notion that the religion of a land is the religion of its majority; if
it be Muslim, the land is a land of Islam; if it be pagan, the land is a land of
kufr, and its inhabitants can be reckoned within the categories of enslavement
under Muslim law. Again, as slavery became a simile for infidelity, so too did
freedom remain the signal feature of Islam...The servile estate was hewn out of
the ravaged remains of heathen villages — from the women and children who
submitted to Islam and awaited their redemption...[according to Muslim jurist]
al—Wanshirisi (d.1508), slavery is an affliction upon those who profess no
Prophecy, who bear no allegiance to religious law. Moreover, slavery is an
humiliation — a subjection— which rises from infidelity.
Based on his study and observations of Muslim slave razzias gleaned while
serving in the Sudan during the Mahdist jihad at the close of the 19th century,
Winston Churchill wrote this description (in 1899): [9]
all [of the Arab Muslim tribes in The Sudan], without exception, were hunters of
men. To the great slave markets of Jeddah a continual stream of negro captives
has flowed for hundreds of years. The invention of gunpowder and the adoption by
the Arabs of firearms facilitated the traffic...Thus the situation in the Sudan
for several centuries may be summed up as follows: The dominant race of Arab
invaders was increasingly spreading its blood, religion, customs, and language
among the black aboriginal population, and at the same time it harried and
enslaved them...The warlike Arab tribes fought and brawled among themselves in
ceaseless feud and strife. The negroes trembled in apprehension of capture, or
rose locally against their oppressors.
All these elements of jihad slavery— its juridical rationale, employment as a
method of forcible Islamisation (for non—Muslims in general, and directed at
Sub—Saharan African Animists, specifically), and its association with
devshirme—like levies of adolescent males for slave soldiering— are apparent in
the contemporary jihad being waged against the Animists and Christians of
southern Sudan, by the Arab Muslim—dominated Khartoum regime. [10]
Extent and Persistence
The scale and scope of Islamic slavery in Africa are comparable to the Western
trans—Atlantic slave trade to the Americas, and as Willis has observed (somewhat
wryly), [11] the former '...out—distances the more popular subject in its length
of duration.' Quantitative estimates for the trans-Atlantic slave trade (16th
through the end of the 19th century) of 10,500,000 (or somewhat higher [12]),
are at least matched (if not exceeded by 50%) by a contemporary estimate for the
Islamic slave trade out of Africa. Professor Ralph Austen's working figure for
this composite of the trans-Saharan, Red Sea, and Indian Ocean traffic generated
by the Islamic slave trade from 650 through 1905 C.E., is 17,000,000. [13]
Moreover, the plight of those enslaved animist peoples drawn from the savannah
and northern forest belts of western and central Africa for the trans—Saharan
trade was comparable to the sufferings experienced by the unfortunate victims of
the trans—Atlantic slave trade. [14]
In the Nineteenth Century, slaves reached the ports of Ottoman Tripoli by three
main Saharan routes, all so harsh that the experience of slaves forced to travel
them bore comparison with the horrors of the so—called 'middle—passage' of the
Atlantic.
This illuminating comparison, important as it is, ignores other vast domains of
jihad slavery: throughout Europe (Mediterranean and Western Europe, as well as
Central and Eastern Europe, involving the Arabs [Western/Mediterranean], and
later the Ottoman Turks and Tatars [Central and Eastern Europe]); Muscovite
Russia (subjected to Tatar depredations); Asia Minor (under Seljuk and Ottoman
domination); Persia, Armenia, and Georgia (subjected to the systematised jihad
slavery campaigns waged by the Shi'ite Safavids, in particular); and the Indian
subcontinent (razzias and jihad campaigns by the Arabs in the 7th and 8th
centuries, and later depredations by the Ghaznavids, during the Delhi Sultanate,
the Timurid jihad, and under the Mughals). As a cursory introduction to the
extent of jihad slavery beyond the African continent, three brief examples are
provided: the Seljuks in Asia Minor (11th and 12th centuries); the Ottomans in
the Balkans (15th century); and the Tatars in southern Poland and Muscovite
Russia (mid—15th through 17th centuries).
The capture of Christians in Asia Minor by the Seljuk Turks was very extensive
in the 11th and 12th centuries. [15] Following the seizure and pillage of
Edessa, 16,000 were enslaved. [16] Michael the Syrian reported that when the
Turks of Nur al—Din were brought into Cilicia by Mleh the Armenian, they
enslaved 16,000 Christians, whom they sold at Aleppo. [17] A major series of
razzias conducted in the Greek provinces of Western Asia Minor enslaved
thousands of Greeks (Vryonis believes the figure of 100,000 cited in a
contemporary account is exaggerated [18]), and according to Michael the Syrian,
they were sold in slave markets as distant as Persia. [19] During razzias
conducted by the Turks in 1185 and over the next few years, 26,000 inhabitants
from Cappadocia, Armenian, and Mesopotamia were captured and sent off to the
slave markets. [20] Vryonis concludes: [21]
...these few sources seem to indicate that the slave trade was a flourishing
one. In fact, Asia Minor continued to be a major source of slaves for the
Islamic world through the 14th century.
The Ottoman Sultans, in accord with Shari'a prescriptions, promoted jihad
slavery aggressively in the Balkans, especially during the 15th century reigns
of Mehmed I (1402—1421), Murad II (1421—1451), and Mehmed II (1451—1481). [22]
Alexandrescu—Dersca summarises the considerable extent of this enslavement, and
suggests the importance of its demographic effect: [23]
The contemporary Turkish, Byzantine and Latin chroniclers are unanimous in
recognising that during the campaigns conducted on behalf of the unification of
Greek and Latin Romania and the Slavic Balkans under the banner of Islam, as
well as during their
razzias
on Christian territory, the Ottomans reduced masses of inhabitants to slavery.
The Ottoman chronicler Ašikpašazade relates that during the expedition of Ali
pasha Evrenosoghlu in Hungary (1437), as well as on the return from the campaign
of Murad II against Belgrade (1438), the number of captives surpassed that of
the combatants. The Byzantine chronicler Ducas states that the inhabitants of
Smederevo, which was occupied by the Ottomans, were led off into bondage. The
same thing happened when the Turks of Menteše descended upon the islands of
Rhodes and Cos and also during the expedition of the Ottoman fleet to Enos and
Lesbos. Ducas even cites numbers: 70,000 inhabitants carried off into
slavery during the campaign of Mehmed II in Morée (1460). The Italian Franciscan
Bartholomé de Yano (Giano dell'Umbria) speaks about 60,000 to 70,000 slaves
captured over the course of two expeditions of the akinğis in Transylvania
(1438) and about 300,000 to 600,000 Hungarian captives. If these figures seem
exaggerated, others seem more accurate: forty inhabitants captured by the
Turks of Menteše during a
razzia
in Rhodes, 7,000 inhabitants reduced to slavery following the siege of
Thessalonika (1430), according to John Anagnostes, and ten thousand inhabitants
led off into captivity during the siege of Mytilene (1462), according to the
Metropolitan of Lesbos, Leonard of Chios. Given the present state of the
documentation available to us, we cannot calculate the scale on which slaves
were introduced into Turkish Romania by this method. According to
Bartholomé de Yano, it would amount to 400,000 slaves captured in the four years
from 1437 to 1443. Even allowing for a certain degree of exaggeration, we must
acknowledge that slaves played an important demographic part during the
fifteenth—century Ottoman expansion.
Fisher [24] has analysed the slave razzias conducted by the Muslim Crimean
Tatars against the Christian populations of southern Poland and Muscovite Russia
during the mid—15th through late 17th century (1463—1794). Relying upon
admittedly incomplete sources ('...no doubt there are many more slave raids that
the author has not uncovered' [25]), his conservative tabulations [26] indicate
that at least 3 million (3,000,000) persons — men, women, and children — were
captured and enslaved during this so—called 'harvesting of the steppe'. Fisher
describes the plight of those enslaved: [27]
...the first ordeal [of the captive] was the long march to the Crimea. Often in
chains and always on foot, many of the captives died en route. Since on many
occasions the Tatar raiding party feared reprisals or, in the seventeenth
century, attempts by Cossack bands to free the captives, the marches were
hurried. Ill or wounded captives were usually killed rather than be allowed to
slow the procession. Heberstein wrote... 'the old and infirm men who will not
fetch much as a sale, are given up to the Tatar youths either to be stoned, or
thrown into the sea, or to be killed by any sort of death they might please.' An
Ottoman traveler in the mid—sixteenth century who witnessed one such march of
captives from Galicia marveled that any would reach their destination — the
slave markets of Kefe. He complained that their treatment was so bad that the
mortality rate would unnecessarily drive their price up beyond the reach of
potential buyers such as himself. A Polish proverb stated: 'Oh how much better
to lie on one's bier, than to be a captive on the way to Tartary'
The persistence of Islamic slavery is as impressive and unique as its extent.
Slavery was openly practiced in both Ottoman Turkey [28], and Shi'ite (Qajar)
Iran [29], through the first decade of the 20th century. As Toledano points out,
[30] regarding Ottoman Turkey, kul (administrative)/ harem slavery,
...survived at the core of the Ottoman elite until the demise of the empire and
the fall of the house of Osman in the second decade of the 20th century.
Moreover, Ricks [31] indicates that despite the modernising pressures and
reforms culminating in the Iranian Constitutional Movement of 1905—1911, which
effectively eliminated military and agricultural slavery,
The presence of domestic slaves, however, in both the urban and rural regions of
Southern Iran had not ceased as quickly. Some Iranians today attest to the
continued presence of African and Indian slave girls...
Slavery on the Arabian peninsula was not abolished formally until 1962 in Saudi
Arabia, 32 and 1970 in Yemen and Oman. 33 Writing in 1989, Gordon [34] observed
that although Mauritania abolished slavery officially on July 15, 1980,
...as the government itself acknowledges, the practice is till alive and well.
It is estimated that 200,000 men, women, and children are subject to being
bought and sold like so many cattle in this North African country, toiling as
domestics, shepherds, and farmhands.
Finally, as discussed earlier, there has been a recrudescence of jihad slavery,
since 1983 in the Sudan. [35]
An Overview of Eunuch Slavery—the 'Hideous Trade'
Eunuch slaves — males castrated usually between the ages of 4 and 12 (due to the
high risk of death, preferentially, between ages 8 and 12), [36] were in
considerable demand in Islamic societies. They served most notably as
supervisors of women in the harems of the rulers and elites of the Ottoman
Empire, its contemporary Muslim neighbours (such as Safavid Iran), and earlier
Muslim dominions. The extent and persistence of eunuch slavery — becoming
prominent within 200 years of the initial 7th century Arab jihad conquests [37],
through the beginning of the 20th century [38] — are peculiar to the Islamic
incarnation of this aptly named 'hideous trade'. For example, Toledano documents
that as late as 1903, the Ottoman imperial harem contained from 400 to 500
female slaves, supervised and guarded by 194 black African eunuchs. [39]
But an equally important and unique feature of Muslim eunuch slavery was the
acquisition of eunuchs from foreign 'slave producing areas' [40] , i.e.,
non—Muslim frontier zones subjected to razzias. As David Ayalon observed, [41]
...the overwhelming majority of the eunuchs, like the overwhelming majority of
all other slaves in Islam, had been brought over from outside the borders of
Muslim lands.
Eunuch slaves in China, in stark contrast, were almost exclusively Chinese
procured locally. [42]
Hogendorn [43] has identified the three main slave producing regions, as they
evolved in importance over time, from the 8th through the late 19th centuries:
These areas were the forested parts of central and eastern Europe called by
Muslims the 'Bild as—Saqaliba' ('slave country'), the word saqlab meaning slave
in Arabic (and related to the ethnic designation 'Slav'); the steppes of central
Asia called the 'Bilad al—Atrak' ('Turks' country' or Turkestan); and eventually
most important, the savanna and the fringes of the wooded territory south of the
Sahara called the country of the blacks or 'Bilad as—Sudan'.
Lastly, given the crudeness of available surgical methods and absence of sterile
techniques, the human gelding procedure by which eunuchs were 'manufactured' was
associated with extraordinary rates of morbidity and mortality. Hogendorn
describes the severity of the operation, and provides mortality information from
West and East Africa: [44]
Castration can be partial (removal of the testicles only or removal of the penis
only), or total (removal of both). In the later period of the trade, that is,
after Africa became the most important source for Mediterranean Islam, it
appears that most eunuchs sold to the markets underwent total removal. This
version of the operation, though considered most appropriate for slaves in
constant proximity to harem members, posed a very high danger of death for two
reasons. First was the extensive hemorrhaging, with the consequent possibility
of almost immediate death. The hemorrhaging could not be stopped by traditional
cauterisation because that would close the urethra leading to eventual death
because of inability to pass urine. The second danger lay in infection of the
urethra, with the formation of pus blocking it and so causing death in a few
days.
...when the castration was carried out in sub—Saharan West and West—Central
Africa...a figure of 90% [is] often mentioned. Even higher death rates were
occasionally reported, unsurprising in tropical areas where the danger of
infection of wounds was especially high. At least one contemporary price
quotation supports a figure of over 90% mortality: Turkish merchants are said to
have been willing to pay 250 to 300 (Maria Theresa) dollars each for eunuchs in
Borno (northeast Nigeria) at a time when the local price of young male slaves
does not seem to have exceeded about 20 dollars...Many sources indicate very
high death rates from the operation in eastern Africa.. Richard Millant's [1908]
general figure for the Sudan and Ethiopia is 90%.
Conclusion
Contemporary manifestations of Islamic slavery—certainly the razzias (raids)
waged by Arab Muslim militias against their black Christian, animist, and
animist—Muslim prey in both the southern Sudan and Darfur—and even in its own
context, the persistence of slavery in Mauritania (again, black slaves, Arab
masters)—reflect the pernicious impact of jihad slavery as an enduring Muslim
institution. Even Ottoman society, arguably the most progressive in Muslim
history, and upheld just recently at a United Nations conference as a paragon of
Islamic ecumenism, never produced a William Wilberforce, much less a
broad, religiously—based slavery abolition movement spearheaded by committed
Muslim ulema. Indeed, it is only modern Muslim freethinkers, anachronistically
referred to as 'apostates,' who have had the courage and intellectual integrity
to renounce the jihad, including jihad slavery, unequivocally, and based
upon an honest acknowledgement of its devastating military and social history.
When the voices of these Muslim freethinkers are silenced in the Islamic
world—by imprisonment and torture, or execution—the outcome is tragic, but
hardly unexpected. That such insightful and courageous voices have been
marginalised or ignored altogether in the West is equally tragic and reflects
the distressing ignorance of Western policymaking elites.

All the Encyclopedias and National Geographic agree that Hindu Kush region is a
place of Hindu genocide (similar to Dakau and Auschwitz). All the references are
given for your convenience.
Abstract
All Standard reference books agree that the name 'Hindu Kush' of the mountain
range in Eastern Afghanistan means 'Hindu Slaughter' or 'Hindu Killer'. History
also reveals that until 1000 A.D. the area of Hindu Kush was a full part of
Hindu cradle. More likely, the mountain range was deliberately named as 'Hindu
Slaughter' by the Moslem conquerors, as a lesson to the future generations of
Indians. However Indians in general and Hindus in particular are completely
oblivious to this tragic genocide. This article also looks into the reasons
behind this ignorance.
21 References - (Mainly Encyclopedia Britannica & other reference books,
National Geographic Magazines and standard history books).
Introduction
The Hindu Kush is a mountain system nearly 1000 miles long and 200 miles wide,
running northeast to southwest, and dividing the Amu Darya River Valley and
Indus River Valley. It stretches from the Pamir Plateau near Gilgit, to Iran.
The Hindu Kush ranges mainly run through Afghanistan and Pakistan. It has over
two dozen summits of more than 23,000 ft in height. Below the snowy peaks the
mountains of Hindu Kush appear bare, stony and poor in vegetation. Historically,
the passes across the Hindu Kush have been of great military significance,
providing access to the northern plains of India. The Khyber Pass constitutes an
important strategic gateway and offers a comparatively easy route to the plains
of Punjab. Most foreign invaders, starting from Alexander the Great in 327 BC,
to Timur Lane in 1398 AD, and from Mahmud of Ghazni, in 1001 AD, to Nader Shah
in 1739 AD attacked Hindustan via the Khyber Pass and other passes in the Hindu
Kush (1,2,3). The Greek chroniclers of Alexander the Great called Hindu Kush as
Parapamisos or Paropanisos (4). The Hindu name of the Hindu Kush mountains was
'Paariyaatra Parvat'(5).
Early history of Hindu Kush region (up to 1000 AD)
History of Hindu Kush and Punjab shows that two major kingdoms of Gandhaar &
Vaahic Pradesh (Balkh of Bactria) had their borders extending far beyond the
Hindu Kush. Legend has it that the kingdom of Gandhaar was established by
Taksha, grandson of Bharat of Ayodhya (6). Gandhaar's borders extended from
Takshashila to Tashkent (corruption of 'Taksha Khand') in the present day
Uzbekistan. In the later period, Mahabharat relates Gaandhaari as a princess of
Gandhaar and her brother, Shakuni as a prince and later as Gandhaar's ruler.
In the well documented history, Emperor Chandragupt Maurya took charge of Vaahic
Pradesh around 325 BC and then took over Magadh. Emperor Ashok's stone tablets
with inscriptions in Greek and Aramaic are still found at Qandahar (corruption
of Gandhaar?) and Laghman in eastern Afganistan(3). One such stone tablet, is
shown in the PBS TV series 'Legacy with Mark Woods' in episode 3 titled 'India:
The Spiritual Empire'. After the fall of Mauryan Empire, Gandhaar was ruled by
Greeks. However some of these Greek rulers had converted to Buddhism, such as
Menander, known to Indian historians as Milinda, while some other Greeks became
followers of Vishnav sects (Hinduism)(7). Recent excavations in Bactria have
revealed a golden hoard which has among other things a figurine of a Greek
goddess with a Hindu mark on its forehead (Bindi) showing the confluence of
Hindu-Greek art (8). Later Shaka and KushaaN ruled Gandhaar and Vaahic Pradesh.
KushaaN emperor Kanishka's empire stretched from Mathura to the Aral Sea (beyond
the present day Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgystan)(9).
Kanishaka was a Buddhist and under KushaaN influence Buddhism flourished in
Gandhaar. Two giant sandstone Buddhas carved into the cliffs of Bamian (west of
Kabul) date from the Kushan period. The larger Buddha (although defaced in later
centuries by Moslem invaders) is about 175 ft tall (10,11). The Kushan empire
declined by 450 AD. The Chinese traveller Hsuan-Tsang (Xuan-zang) travelled thru
the region in 7 th century AD and visited many Buddhist religious centers (3)
including Hadda, Ghazni, Qonduz, Bamian (3,10,11), Shotorak and Bagram. From the
5 th thru 9 th cenury AD Persian Sasanians and Hepthalites ruled Gandhaar.
During their rule Gandhaar region was again influenced by Hinduism. The Hindu
kings (Shahiya) were concentrated in the Kabul and Ghazni areas. The last Hindu
Shahiya king of Kabul, Bhimapal was killed in 1026 AD. The heroic efforts of the
Hindu Shahiya Kings to defend the northwestern gates of India against the
invaders are described by even al-Biruni, the court historian of Mahmud of
Ghazni (12). Some excavated sites of the period include a major Hindu Shahiya
temple north of Kabul and a chapel that contains both Buddhist and Hindu images,
indicating that there was a mingling of two religions (3).
Islamic invasions on Afghanistan started in 642 AD, but over the next several
centuries their effect was marginal and lasted only a short time after each
raid. Cities surrendered only to rise in revolt and the hastily converted
returned to their old religion (Hinduism or Buddhism) once the Moslem armies had
passed (3). THUS TILL THE YEAR 1000 AD AFGHANISTAN WAS A FULL PART OF HINDU
CRADLE.
Hindu Kush and the Hindu Genocides
Now Afghanistan is a Moslem country. Logically, this means either one or more of
the following must have happened:
a. original residents of Hindu Kush converted to Islam, or
b. they were slaughtered and the conquerors took over, or
c. they were driven out.
Encyclopedia Britannica (3) already informs us above about the resistance to
conversion and frequent revolt against to the Moslem conqueror's rule from 8 th
thru 11 th Century AD. The name 'Hindu Kush' itself tells us about the fate of
the original residents of Gandhaar and Vaahic Pradesh during the later period of
Moslem conquests, because HINDU KUSH in Persian MEANS HINDU SLAUGHTER (13) (as
per Koenraad Elst in his book 'Ayodhya and After'). Let us look into what other
standard references say about Hindu Kush.
Persian-English dictionary (14) indicates that the word 'Kush' is derived from
the verb Kushtar - to slaughter or carnage. Kush is probably also related to the
verb Koshtan meaning to kill. In Urdu, the word Khud-kushi means act of killing
oneself (khud - self, Kushi- act of killing). Encyclopedia Americana comments on
the Hindu Kush as follows: The name Hindu Kush means literally 'Kills the
Hindu', a reminder of the days when (Hindu) SLAVES from Indian subcontinent died
in harsh Afgan mountains while being transported to Moslem courts of Central
Asia (15). The National Geographic Article 'West of Khyber Pass' informs that
'Generations of raiders brought captive Hindus past these peaks of perpetual
snow. Such bitter journeys gave the range its name Hindu Kush - "Killer of
Hindus"'(10). The World Book Encyclopedia informs that the name Kush, .. means
Death ..(16). While Encyclopedia Britannica says 'The name Hindu Kush first
appears in 1333 AD in the writings of Ibn Battutah, the medieval Berber
traveller, who said the name meant 'Hindu Killer', a meaning still given by
Afgan mountain dwellers who are traditional enemies of Indian plainsmen (i.e.
Hindus)(2). However, later the Encyclopedia Britannica gives a negationist twist
by adding that 'more likely the name is a corruption of Hindu-Koh meaning Hindu
mountains'. This is unlikely, since the term Koh is used in its proper,
uncorrupted form for the western portion of Hindu Kush, viz. Koh-i-Baba, for the
region Swat Kohistan, and in the names of the three peaks of this range, viz.
Koh-i-Langer, Koh-i-Bandakor, and Koh-i-Mondi.
Thus to say that corruption of term Koh to Kush occurred only in case of Hindu
Kush is merely an effort to fit in a deviant observation to a theory already
proposed. In science, a theory is rejected if it does not agree with the
observations, and not the other way around. Hence the latter negationist
statement in the Encyclopedia Britannica must be rejected.
IT IS SIGNIFICANT THAT ONE OF THE FEW PLACE NAMES ON EARTH THAT REMINDS US NOT
OF THE VICTORY OF THE WINNERS BUT RATHER THE SLAUGHTER OF THE LOSERS, CONCERNS A
GENOCIDE OF HINDUS BY THE MOSLEMS (13).
Ibn Battūta (famous traveller and explorer) c. 1334, wrote:
"Another reason for our halt was fear of the snow, for on the road there is a
mountain called Hindūkūsh, which means "Slayer of Indians," because the slave
boys and girls who are brought from India die there in large numbers as a result
of the extreme cold and the quantity of snow."
Unlike the Jewish holocaust, the exact toll of the Hindu genocide suggested by
the name Hindu Kush is not available. However the number is easily likely to be
in millions. Few known historical figures can be used to justify this estimate.
Encyclopedia Britannica informs that in December 1398 AD, Timur Lane ordered the
execution of at least 50,000 captives before the battle for Delhi, .. and after
the battle those inhabitants (of Delhi) not killed were removed (as slaves)
(17), while other reference says that the number of captives butchered by Timur
Lane's army was about 100,000 (18). Later on Encyclopedia Britannica mentions
that the Mughal emperor Akbar 'ordered the massacre of about 30,000 (captured)
Rajput Hindus on February 24, 1568 AD, after the battle for Chitod' (19).
Another reference indicates that this massacre of 30,000 Hindu peasants at
Chitod is recorded by Abul Fazl, Akbar's court historian himself (20). These two
'one day' massacres are sufficient to provide a reference point for estimating
the scale of Hindu genocide. The Afghan historian Khondamir records that during
one of the many repeated invasions on the city of Herat in western Afghanistan,
1,500,000 residents perished (11). Scholar K.S. Lal[22]
analysed Indian demography for the period between 1000-1525. Lal estimates that
the numbers of Hindus who perished as a result of these campaigns was
approximately 80 million.
Since some of the Moslem conquerors took Indian plainsmen as slaves, a question
comes: whatever happened to this slave population? The startling answer comes
from New York Times (May-June 1993 issues). The Gypsies are wandering peoples in
Europe. They have been persecuted in almost every country. Nazis killed 300,000
gypsies in the gas chambers. These Gypsies have been wandering around Central
Asia and Europe since around the 12th Century AD. Until now their
country of origin could not be identified. Also their Language has had very
little in common with the other European languages. Recent studies however show
that their language is similar to Punjabi and to a lesser degree to Sanskrit.
Thus the Gypsies most likely originated from the greater Punjab. This is also
backed up by DNA comparisons. The time frame of Gypsy wanderings also coincides
early Islamic conquests hence most likely their ancestors were driven out of
their homes in Punjab and taken as slaves over the Hindu Kush.
The theory of Gypsy origins in India was first proposed over two centuries ago.
It is only recently theta linguistic and other proofs have been verified. Even
the Gypsy leadership now accepts India as the country of their origin.
Thus it is evident that the mountain range was named as Hindu Kush as a reminder
to the future Hindu generations of the slaughter and slavery of Hindus during
the Moslem conquests.
Deliberate ignorance about Hindu Kush
If the name Hindu Kush relates such a horrible genocide of Hindus, why are
Hindus ignorant about it? and why the Government of India does not teach them
about Hindu Kush? The history and geography curriculum’s in Indian Schools
barely even mention Hindu Kush. The horrors of the Jewish holocaust are taught
not only in schools in Israel, Europe and USA, but also in Germany; because both
Germany and Israel consider the Jewish holocaust a 'dark chapter' in the
history. The Indian Government instead of giving details of this 'dark chapter'
in Indian history is busy in whitewash of Moslem atrocities and the Hindu
holocaust. In 1982, the National Council of Educational Research and Training
issued a directive for the rewriting of school texts. Among other things it
stipulated that: 'Characterisation of the medieval period as a time of conflict
between Hindus and Moslems is forbidden'. Thus denial of history or Negationism
has become India's official 'educational' policy (21).
Often the official governmental historians brush aside questions such as those
that Hindu Kush raises. They argue that the British version is the product of
their 'divide and rule' policy' hence their version is not necessarily true.
However it must be remembered that the earliest reference of the name Hindu Kush
and its literal meaning 'Hindu Killer' comes from Ibn Battutah in 1333 AD, and
at that time British were nowhere on the Indian scene. Secondly, if the name
indeed was a misnomer then the Afghans should have protested against such a
barbaric name and the last 660 plus years should have been adequate for a change
of name to a more 'civil' name. There has been no effort for such a change of
name by the Afghans. On the contrary, when the Islamic fundamentalist regime of
the Mujahadeens came to power in 1992, tens of thousands of Hindus and Sikhs
from Kabul were literally deported, became refugees, and had to pay steep ransom
to enter into Pakistan without a visa.
In the last 46 years the Indian Government also has not even once demanded that
the Afghan Government change such an insulting and barbaric name. But in July
1993, the Government of India asked the visiting Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra to
change its name because the word Jerusalem in its name is offensive to Moslem
Fundamentalists.
Conclusion
It is evident that Hindus from ancient India's (Hindustan's) border states such
as Gandhaar and Vaahic Pradesh were massacred or taken as slaves by the Moslem
invaders who named the region as Hindu Kush (or Hindu Slaughter,or Hindu Killer)
to teach a lesson to the future Hindu generations of India. Unfortunately Hindus
are not aware of this tragic history. The Indian government does not want the
true history of Hindu Moslem conflicts during the medieval ages to be taught in
schools. This policy of negationism is the cause behind the ignorance of Hindus
about the Hindu Kush and the Hindu genocide.
Comments
Although in this article Hindu Kush has been referred to as Hindu slaughter, it
is obvious that it was really a Hindu and Buddhist slaughter. Since prior to
Moslem invasions influence of Buddhism in Gandhaar and Vaahic Pradesh was
considerable. Also as the huge 175 ft stone Buddhas of Bamian show, Buddhists
were idol worshipers par excellence. Hence for Moslem invaders the Buddhists
idol worshipers were equally deserving of punishment. It is also likely that
Buddhism was considered an integral part of the Hindu pantheon and hence was not
identified separately.
This article barely scratches the surface of the Hindu genocide, the true depth
of which is as yet unknown.

The Muslim conquests, down to the 16th century, were for the Hindus a pure
struggle of life and death. Entire cities were burnt down and the populations
massacred, with hundreds of thousands killed in every campaign, and similar
numbers deported as slaves. Every new invader made (often literally) his hills
of Hindus skulls. Thus, the conquest of Afghanistan in the year 1000 was
followed by the annihilation of the Hindu population; the region is still called
the Hindu Kush, i.e.
Hindu slaughter.
The Bahmani sultans (1347-1480) in central India made it a rule to kill 100,000
captives in a single day, and many more on other occasions. The conquest of the
Vijayanagar Empire in 1564 left the capital plus large areas of Karnataka
depopulated. And so on.
As a contribution to research on the quantity of the Islamic crimes against
humanity, we may mention Prof. K.S. Lal's estimates about the population figures
in medieval India (Growth of Muslim Population in India). According to his
calculations, the Indian (subcontinent) population decreased by 80 million
between 1000 (conquest of Afghanistan) and 1525 (end of Delhi Sultanate).
But the Indian Pagans were far too numerous and never fully surrendered. What
some call the Muslim period in Indian
history, was in reality a continuous war of occupiers against resisters, in
which the Muslim rulers were finally defeated in the 18th century. Against these
rebellious Pagans the Muslim rulers preferred to avoid total confrontation, and
to accept the compromise which the (in India dominant) Hanifite school of
Islamic law made possible. Alone among the four Islamic law schools, the school
of Hanifa gave Muslim rulers the right not to offer the Pagans the sole choice
between death and conversion, but to allow them toleration as zimmis (protected
ones) living under 20 humiliating conditions, and to collect the jizya
(toleration tax) from them. Normally the zimmi status was only open to Jews and
Christians (and even that concession was condemned by jurists of the Hanbalite
school like lbn Taymiya), which explains why these communities have survived in
Muslim countries while most other religions have not. On these conditions some
of the higher Hindu castes could be found willing to collaborate, so that a more
or less stable polity could be set up. Even then, the collaboration of the
Rajputs with the Moghul rulers, or of the Kayasthas with the Nawab dynasty, one
became a smooth arrangement when enlightened rulers like Akbar (whom orthodox
Muslims consider an apostate) cancelled these humiliating conditions and the
jizya tax.
It is because of Hanifite law that many Muslim rulers in India considered
themselves exempted from the duty to continue the genocide on the Hindus
(self-exemption for which they were persistently reprimanded by their mullahs).
Moreover, the Turkish and Afghan invaders also fought each other, so they often
had to ally themselves with accursed unbelievers against fellow Muslims. After
the conquests, Islamic occupation gradually lost its character of a total
campaign to destroy the Pagans. Many Muslim rulers preferred to enjoy the
revenue from stable and prosperous kingdoms, and were content to extract the
jizya tax, and to limit their conversion effort to material incentives and
support to the missionary campaigns of sufis and mullahs (in fact, for less
zealous rulers, the jizya was an incentive to discourage conversions, as these
would mean a loss of revenue). The Moghul dynasty (from 1526 onwards) in effect
limited its ambition to enjoying the zimma system, similar to the treatment of
Jews and Christians in the Ottoman empire. Muslim violence would thenceforth be
limited to some slave-taking, crushing the numerous rebellions, destruction of
temples and killing or humiliation of Brahmins, and occasional acts of terror by
small bands of raiders. A left-over from this period is the North-Indian custom
of celebrating weddings at midnight: this was a safety measure against the
Islamic sport of bride-catching.
The last jihad against the Hindus before the full establishment of British rule
was waged by Tipu Sultan at the end of the 18th century. In the rebellion of
1857, the near-defunct Muslim dynasties (Moghuls, Nawabs) tried to curry favour
with their Hindu subjects and neighbours, in order to launch a joint effort to
re-establish their rule. For instance, the Nawab promised to give the Hindus the
Ram Janmabhoomi/Babri Masjid site back, in an effort to quench their anti-Muslim
animosity and redirect their attention towards the new common enemy from
Britain. This is the only instance in modern history when Muslims offered
concessions to the Hindus; after that, all the concessions made for the sake of
communal harmony were a one-way traffic from Hindu to Muslim.

How 'Gandhara' became 'Kandahar':
http://rajivmalhotra.sulekha.com/blog/post/2001/12/how-gandhara-became-kandahar.htm
“A people not willing to embrace its past, ultimately forfeits its future.”
Alexander Von Humboldt
The Crusaders were not unprovoked aggressors, greedy marauders or medieval
colonialists, as portrayed in some history books.
In fact, Thomas Madden, chair of St. Louis University's history department and
author of "A Concise History of the
Crusades," contests that the Crusaders were a defensive force that did not
profit from their ventures by earthly riches or land.
In fact, Thomas Madden, chair of St. Louis University's history department and
author of "A Concise History of the Crusades," contests that the Crusaders were
defensive wars, not wars of conquest.
Madden shared the most popular myths about the Crusades and the modern findings
that prove them wrong.
Q: What are some common
misconceptions about the Crusades? the Crusaders?
Madden: The following are some of the most common myths and why they are wrong.
Myth 1:
The Crusades were wars of unprovoked
aggression against a peaceful Muslim world.
This is as wrong as wrong can be. From the time of Mohammed, Muslims had sought
to conquer the Christian world. They did a pretty good job of it, too. After a
few centuries of steady conquests, Muslim armies had taken all of North Africa,
the Middle East, Asia Minor and most of Spain.
In other words, by the end of the 11th century the forces of Islam had captured
two-thirds of the Christian world. Palestine, the home of Jesus Christ; Egypt,
the birthplace of Christian monasticism; Asia Minor, where St. Paul planted the
seeds of the first Christian communities -- these were not the periphery of
Christianity but it’s very core.
And the Muslim empires were not finished yet. They continued to press westward
toward Constantinople, ultimately passing it and entering Europe itself. As far
as unprovoked aggression goes, it was all on the Muslim side. At some point what
was left of the Christian world would have to defend itself or simply succumb to
Islamic conquest.
Myth 2:
The Crusaders wore crosses, but they
were really only interested in capturing booty and land. Their pious platitudes
were just a cover for rapacious greed.
Historians used to believe that a rise in Europe's population led to a crisis of
too many noble "second sons," those who were trained in chivalric warfare but
who had no feudal lands to inherit. The Crusades, therefore, were seen as a
safety valve, sending these belligerent men far from Europe where they could
carve out lands for themselves at someone else's expense.
Modern scholarship, assisted by the advent of computer databases, has exploded
this myth. We now know that it was the "first sons" of Europe that answered the
Pope's call in 1095, as well as in subsequent Crusades.
Crusading was an enormously expensive operation. Lords were forced to sell off
or mortgage their lands to gather the necessary funds. Most were also not
interested in an overseas kingdom. Much like a soldier today, the medieval
Crusader was proud to do his duty but longed to return home.
After the spectacular successes of the First Crusade, with Jerusalem and much of
Palestine in Crusader hands, virtually all of the Crusaders went home. Only a
tiny handful remained behind to consolidate and govern the newly won
territories.
Booty was also scarce. In fact, although Crusaders no doubt dreamed of vast
wealth in opulent Eastern cities, virtually none of them ever even recouped
their expenses. But money and land were not the reasons that they went on
Crusade in the first place. They went to atone for their sins and to win
salvation by doing good works in a faraway land.
They underwent such expense and hardship because they believed that by coming to
the aid of their Christian brothers and sisters in the East they were storing up
treasure where rust and moth cannot corrupt.
They were very mindful of Christ's exhortation that he who will not take up his
cross is not worthy of Christ. They also remembered that "Greater love hath no
man than this, than to lay down his life for his friends."
Myth 3: When the Crusaders captured
Jerusalem in 1099 they massacred every man, woman and child in the city until
the streets ran ankle deep with the blood.
This is a favourite used to demonstrate the evil nature of the Crusades.
It is certainly true that many people in Jerusalem were killed after the
Crusaders captured the city. But this must be understood in historical context.
The accepted moral standard in all pre-modern European and Asian civilisations
was that a city that resisted capture and was taken by force belonged to the
victorious forces. That included not just the buildings and goods, but the
people as well. That is why every city or fortress had to weigh carefully
whether it could hold out against besiegers. If not, it was wise to negotiate
terms of surrender.
In the case of Jerusalem, the defenders had resisted right up to the end. They
calculated that the formidable walls of the city would keep the Crusaders at bay
until a relief force from Egypt could arrive. They were wrong. When the city
fell, therefore, it was put to the sack. Many were killed, yet many others were
ransomed or allowed to go free.
By modern standards this may seem brutal. Yet a medieval knight would point out
that many more innocent men, women and children are killed in modern bombing
warfare than could possibly be put to the sword in one or two days. It is worth
noting that in those cities occupied by Muslims and that surrendered to the
Crusaders the people were left unmolested, retained their property and were
allowed to worship freely.
As for those streets of blood, no historian accepts them as anything other than
a literary convention. Jerusalem is a big town. The amount of blood necessary to
fill the streets to a continuous and running three-inch depth would require many
more people than lived in the region, let alone the city.
Myth 4: The Crusades were just medieval
colonialism dressed up in religious finery.
It is important to remember that in the Middle Ages the West was not a powerful,
dominant culture venturing into a primitive or backward region. It was the
Muslim East that was powerful, wealthy and opulent. Europe was the Third World.
The Crusader States, founded in the wake of the First Crusade, were not new
plantations of Catholics in a Muslim world akin to the British colonisation of
America. Catholic presence in the Crusader states was always tiny, easily less
than 10% of the population. These were the rulers and magistrates, as well as
Italian merchants and members of the military orders. The overwhelming majority
of the population in the Crusader states was Muslim.
They were not colonies, therefore, in the sense of plantations or even
factories, as in the case of India. They were outposts. The ultimate purpose of
the Crusader states was to defend the holy places in Palestine, especially
Jerusalem, and to provide a safe environment for Christian pilgrims to visit
those places.
There was no mother country with which the Crusader states had an economic
relationship, nor did Europeans economically benefit from them. Quite the
contrary, the expense of Crusades to maintain the Latin East was a serious drain
on European resources. As an outpost, the Crusader states kept a military focus.
While the Muslims warred against each other the Crusader states were safe, but
once the Muslims united, they were able to dismantle the strongholds, capture
the cities, and in 1291 expel the Christians completely.
Myth 5: The Crusades were also waged
against the Jews.
No pope ever called a Crusade against Jews. During the First Crusade a large
band of riffraff, not associated with the main army, descended on the towns of
the Rhineland and decided to rob and kill the Jews they found there. In part
this was pure greed. In part it also stemmed from the incorrect belief that the
Jews, as the crucifiers of Christ, were legitimate targets of the war.
Pope Urban II and subsequent popes strongly condemned these attacks on Jews.
Local bishops and other clergy and laity attempted to defend the Jews, although
with limited success. Similarly, during the opening phase of the Second Crusade
a group of renegades killed many Jews in Germany before St. Bernard was able to
catch up to them and put a stop to it.
These misfires of the movement were an unfortunate by-product of Crusade
enthusiasm, but they were not the purpose of the Crusades. To use a modern
analogy, during the Second World War some American soldiers committed crimes
while overseas. They were arrested and punished for those crimes. But the
purpose of the Second World War was not to commit crimes.
Present-day tension between the West and Muslim countries has very little to do
with the Crusades, says a historian.
In fact, Thomas Madden, chair of the history department at St. Louis University
and author of "A Concise History of the
Crusades," contends that, from the Muslim perspective, the Crusades were not
worth noticing. That changed when 19th-century revisionists started to recast
the Crusades as imperialist wars, he says.
Q:
Do you think the struggle between the West and the Muslim world is in any way a
reaction to the Crusades?
Madden:
No. That may seem a strange answer when you consider that Osama bin Laden and
other Islamists often refer to Americans as "Crusaders."
It's important to remember, though, that during the Middle Ages -- really up
until the late 16th century -- the superpower of the Western world was Islam.
Muslim civilisations were wealthy, sophisticated and immensely powerful. The
West was backward and relatively weak.
It is noteworthy that with the exception of the First Crusade virtually every
other Crusade launched by the West -- and there were hundreds -- was
unsuccessful.
The Crusades may have slowed Muslim expansionism, but they in no way stopped it.
Muslim empires would continue to expand into Christian territories, conquering
the Balkans, much of Eastern Europe and even the greatest Christian city in the
world, Constantinople.
From the Muslim perspective the Crusades were not worth noticing. If you had
asked someone in the Muslim world about the Crusades in the 18th century he or
she would have known nothing about them. They were important to Europeans
because they were massive efforts that failed.
However, during the 19th century, when Europeans began conquering and colonising
Middle Eastern countries, many historians -- in particular nationalist or
royalist French writers -- began to cast the Crusades as Europe's first attempt
to bring the fruits of Western civilisation to the backward Muslim world. In
other words, the Crusades were morphed into imperialist wars.
Those histories were taught in the colonial schools and became the accepted view
in the Middle East and beyond. In the 20th century, imperialism was discredited.
Islamists and some Arab nationalists then seized on the colonial construction of
the Crusades, claiming that the West was responsible for their woes because they
had preyed on Muslims ever since the Crusades.
It is often said that people in the Middle East have long memories; it is true.
But in the case of the Crusades, they have a recovered memory: one that was
manufactured for them by their European conquerors.
Q:
Are there any similarities between the Crusades and the war against terror
today?
Madden:
Aside from the fact that soldiers in both wars want to serve something greater
than themselves that they hold dear and long to return home when it is over, I
see no other similarities between the medieval Crusades and the war against
terror. Motivations in a post-Enlightenment secular society are very different
from those in the medieval world.
Q:
How are the Crusades different from Islam's Jihad, or other wars of religion?
Madden:
The fundamental purpose of Jihad is to expand the Dar al-Islam -- the Abode of
Islam -- into the Dar al-Harb -- the Abode of War. In other words, jihad is
expansionistic, seeking to conquer non-Muslims and place them under Muslim rule.
Those who are then conquered are given a simple choice. For those who are not
People of the Book -- in other words, those who are not Christians or Jews --
the choice is convert to Islam or die. For those who are People of the Book, the
choice is submit to Muslim rule, accept dhimmitude and Islamic law or die. The
expansion of Islam, therefore, was directly linked to the military successes of
Jihad.
The Crusades were something very different. From its beginnings Christianity has
always forbidden coerced conversion of any kind. Conversion by the sword,
therefore, was not possible for Christianity. Unlike Jihad, the purpose of the
Crusades was neither to expand the Christian world nor to expand Christianity
through forced conversions.
Instead, the Crusades were a direct and belated response to centuries of Muslim
conquests of Christian lands. The immediate event that sparked the First Crusade
was the Turkish conquest of all of Asia Minor in the 1070s through 1090s.
The First Crusade was called by Pope Urban II in 1095 in response to an urgent
plea for help from the Byzantine emperor in Constantinople. Urban called the
knights of Christendom to come to the aid of their Eastern brethren.
Asia Minor was Christian. ...
Part of the Byzantine Empire, it had been first evangelised by St. Paul. St.
Peter had been the first bishop of Antioch. Paul had written his famous letter
to the Christians of Ephesus. The creed of the Church was penned at Nicaea. All
of these were in Asia Minor.
The Byzantine emperor begged the Christians of the West for aid in recapturing
these lands and expelling the Turks. The Crusades were that aid. Their purpose,
though, was not only to re-conquer Asia Minor but also to recapture other
formerly Christian lands that had been lost due to Islamic Jihads. This included
the Holy Land.
In a nutshell, therefore, the major difference between Crusade and Jihad is that
the former was a defence against the latter. The entire history of the Eastern
Crusades is one of response to Muslim aggression.
Q:
Did the Crusaders have any success at converting the Muslim world?
Madden:
I would note that in the 13th century some Franciscans began a mission in the
Middle East to seek to convert Muslims. It was not successful, largely because
Islamic law makes conversion to another religion a capital offence.
This attempt, though, was separate from the Crusades, which had nothing at all
to do with conversion. And it was by peaceful persuasion.
Q:
How did Christendom rationalise its defeat in the Crusades? Were the Crusaders
defeated?
Madden:
The same way that the Jews of the Old Testament did. God withheld victory from
his people because they were sinful. This led to a large-scale piety movement in
Europe, whose aim was to purify Christian society in every way.
Q:
Did Pope John Paul II in fact apologise for the Crusades? Has he actually
condemned them?
Madden:
This is an odd myth, given that the Pope was so roundly criticised for failing
to apologise directly for the Crusades when he asked forgiveness from all those
that Christians had unjustly harmed.
Our Holy Father did not condemn them, nor did he apologise for them. He
apologised for the sins of Catholics. More recently it was widely reported that
John Paul II apologised to the patriarch of Constantinople for the Crusader
conquest of Constantinople in 1204.
In truth, though, the Pope only reiterated what his predecessor Pope Innocent
III [1198-1216] said. That too was a tragic misfire that Innocent had done
everything he could to avoid. He apologised for the sins of Catholics who took
part in the Crusades. Yet he did not apologise for the Crusades themselves or
even the outcome of the Crusades.

By Lúcio Mascarenhas (formerly "Prakash"), Bombay, India
It is a historical fact that Islam began as an overtly militant and aggressive
cult in its fundamental and inherent nature of being & remains so. It was Islam
that attacked, without any provocation whatsoever, its Christian neighbours,
overran their lands and committed genocide and enslaved the remainder.
Let me list the Christian lands and peoples that Islam encroached upon: Roman
Arabia, Arabia Felix, Israel (Philistia), Jordan, Iraq (Chaldea, Assyria and
Hadiabene), Syria (Aram), Lebanon (Phoenicia), Turkey (Bythinia, Cappadocia,
Cilicia, Galatia, Caria, Pontus, etc.), Thrace, Egypt (the Copts), Sudan (Nubia
and Axum), Libya (Lybia, Cyrenaica and Tripolitania), Tunisia (Roman Africa Nova
et Vetera & Carthage), Algeria (Roman Africa, Numidia & Gætulia), Morocco(Roman
Mauretania), Spain (Roman Iberia), Portugal (Lusitania), South France ("The
Muslims were at last defeated by Charles Martel at Tours, in 732, just one
hundred years from the death of Mohammed"), Southern Italy (Sicilia &
Neapolitania), Malta (Melita), Armenia (Hayastan), Georgia, Azerbaijan (Roman
Albania, not modern Albania which was Roman Illyrica), etc.
The many nations of Iran were Zorastrian, together with the Kurds, Sogdians
(Tadjiks) and the peoples of Ariana. Some Zorastrians escaped the Islamic
Conquest and Genocide to India, becoming the Parsees. Today, even the
fanatically Muslim Iranians look back with horror and loathing on, and denounce
that original Conquest and Genocide as the grossest barbarism (Naqba).
The Turks, as the many Indophile nations of Central Asia and West India
(Pakistan & Afghanistan), were Buddhists and Hindus. Again, we have that same
story of unprovoked aggression, imperialism, colonialism, barbarism. The Turks
were forced to become Muslim, and then went on to perpetrate those same
misanthropies on others.
All these lands were subject to Islamic Imperialism, Genocide, Ethnic Cleansing,
Colonialism and Demographic Re-Engineering in order to create Islamic
majorities.
The Islamic Conquests - really a Naqba (Catastrophe), if there was ever one,
began with the foundation of Islam in the sixth century. On the contrary, the
Crusades began only in the eleventh century, under Pope Urban II (Otto von
Lagery), who, at Clermont, France, in November, 1095 inaugurated it, proclaiming
it 'God's Will.'
The Crusades, were thus, chronologically latter to the Islamic Aggressions and
in response to them, and specifically to immediate and gross provocations.
The immediate provocation for the first crusade was the Islamic mistreatment of
Christian pilgrims to Israel — to Jerusalem and the sites connected to Lord
Jesus Christ, together with attempts to deny Christians access to these sites.

By Robert Spencer
The Crusades may be causing more devastation today than they ever did in the
three centuries when most of them were fought, according to one expert.
Robert Spencer, author of "Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the
Crusades)", claims that the damage is not in terms of lives lost and property
destroyed but is a more subtle destruction.
Spencer shared how false ideas about the Crusades are being used by extremists
to foment hostility to the West today.
Q: The Crusades are often portrayed
as a militarily offensive venture. Were they?
Spencer: No. Pope Urban II, who
called for the First Crusade at the Council of Clermont in 1095, was calling for
a defensive action — one that was long overdue.
As he explained, he was calling the Crusade because without any defensive
action, "the faithful of God will be much more widely attacked" by the Turks and
other Muslim forces.
"For, as most of you have heard, the Turks and Arabs have attacked them and have
conquered the territory of Romania [the Greek empire] as far west as the shore
of the Mediterranean and the Hellespont, which is called the Arm of St. George,"
Pope Urban II said in his address. "They have occupied more and more of the
lands of those Christians, and have overcome them in seven battles. They have
killed and captured many, and have destroyed the churches and devastated the
empire.
"If you permit them to continue thus for a while with impunity, the faithful of
God will be much more widely attacked by them."
He was right. Jihad warfare had from the seventh century to the time of Pope
Urban conquered and Islamised what had been over half of Christendom. There had
been no response from the Christian world until the Crusades.
Q: What are some popular
misconceptions about the Crusades?
Spencer: One of the most common is
the idea that the Crusades were an unprovoked attack by Europe against the
Islamic world.
In fact, the conquest of Jerusalem in 638 stood at the beginning of centuries of
Muslim aggression, and Christians in the Holy Land faced an escalating spiral of
persecution.
Early in the eighth century 60 Christian pilgrims from Amorium were crucified;
around the same time the Muslim governor of Caesarea seized a group of pilgrims
from Iconium and had them all executed as spies — except for a small number who
converted to Islam.
Muslims also demanded money from pilgrims, threatening to ransack the Church of
the Resurrection if they didn't pay.
Later in the eighth century, a Muslim ruler banned displays of the cross in
Jerusalem. He also increased the tax on non-Muslims — jizya — that Christians
had to pay and forbade Christians to engage in religious instruction of their
own children and fellow believers.
Early in the ninth century the persecutions grew so severe that large numbers of
Christians fled for Constantinople and other Christian cities. In 937, Muslims
went on a rampage in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, plundering and destroying the
Church of Calvary and the Church of the Resurrection.
In 1004, the Fatimid Caliph, Abu 'Ali al-Mansur al-Hakim, ordered the
destruction of churches, the burning of crosses, and the seizure of church
property. Over the next 10 years 30,000 churches were destroyed, and untold
numbers of Christians converted to Islam simply to save their lives.
In 1009, al-Hakim commanded that the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem
be destroyed, along with several other churches, including the Church of the
Resurrection. In 1056, the Muslims expelled 300 Christians from Jerusalem and
forbade European Christians from entering the rebuilt Church of the Holy
Sepulcher.
When the Seljuk Turks took Jerusalem in 1077, the Seljuk Emir Atsiz bin Uwaq
promised not to harm the inhabitants, but once his men had entered the city,
they murdered 3,000 people.
Another common misconception is that the Crusades were fought to convert Muslims
to Christianity by force. Glaringly absent from every report about Pope Urban's
address at the Council of Claremont is any command to the Crusaders to convert
Muslims.
It was not until over 100 years after the First Crusade, in the 13th century,
that European Christians made any organised attempt to convert Muslims to
Christianity, when the Franciscans began missionary work among Muslims in lands
held by the Crusaders. This effort was largely unsuccessful.
Yet another misconception revolves around the Crusaders' bloody sack of
Jerusalem in 1099.
The capture of Jerusalem is often portrayed as unique in medieval history, and
as the cause of Muslim mistrust of the West. It might be more accurate to say
that it was the start of a millennium of anti-Western grievance mongering and
propaganda.
The Crusaders' sack of Jerusalem was a heinous crime - particularly in light of
the religious and moral principles they professed to uphold. However, by the
military standards of the day, it was not actually anything out of the ordinary.
In those days, it was a generally accepted principle of warfare that if a city
under siege resisted capture, it could be sacked, and while if it did not
resist, mercy would be shown. It is a matter of record that Muslim armies
frequently behaved in exactly the same way when entering a conquered city.
This is not to excuse the Crusaders' conduct by pointing to similar actions. One
atrocity does not excuse another. But it does illustrate that the Crusaders'
behaviour in Jerusalem was consistent with that of other armies of the period —
since all states subscribed to the same notions of siege and resistance.
In 1148, Muslim commander Nur ed-Din did not hesitate to order the killing of
every Christian in Aleppo. In 1268, when the Jihad forces of the Mamluk Sultan
Baybars took Antioch from the Crusaders, Baybars was annoyed to find that the
Crusader ruler had already left the city — so he wrote to him bragging of his
massacres of Christians.
Most notorious of all may be the Jihadists' entry into Constantinople on May 29,
1453, when they, according to historian Steven Runciman, "slew everyone that
they met in the streets, men, women and children without discrimination."
Finally, it is a misconception that Pope John Paul II apologised for the
Crusades. He did not.
There is no doubt that the belief that Pope John Paul II apologised for the
Crusades is widespread. When he died, the Washington Post reminded its readers
"during his long reign, Pope John Paul II apologised to Muslims for the
Crusades, to Jews for anti-Semitism, to Orthodox Christians for the sacking of
Constantinople, to Italians for the Vatican's associations with the Mafia and to
scientists for the persecution of Galileo."
However, John Paul II never actually apologised for the Crusades. The closest he
came was on March 12, 2000, the "Day of Pardon."
During his homily he said: "We cannot fail to recognise the infidelities to the
Gospel committed by some of our brethren, especially during the second
millennium. Let us ask pardon for the divisions which have occurred among
Christians, for the violence some have used in the service of the truth and for
the distrustful and hostile attitudes sometimes taken toward the followers of
other religions."
This is hardly a clear apology for the Crusades.
Q: How have Muslims perceived the
Crusades then and now?
Spencer: For centuries, when the
Ottoman Empire was thriving, the Crusades were not a pre-occupation of the
Islamic world. They were, after all, failures from a Western standpoint.
However, with the decline of the military power and unity of the Islamic world,
and the concomitant rise of the West, they have become a focal point of Muslim
resentment of perceived Western encroachment and exploitation.
Q: To what extent are false ideas
about the Crusades being used by extremists to foment hostility to the West
today?
Spencer: The Crusades may be causing
more devastation today than they ever did in the three centuries when most of
them were fought — but not in terms of lives lost and property destroyed.
Today's is a more subtle destruction.
The Crusades have become a cardinal sin not only of the Catholic Church but also
of the Western world in general.
They are Exhibit A for the case that the current strife between the Muslim world
and Western, post-Christian civilisation is ultimately the responsibility of the
West, which has provoked, exploited, and brutalised Muslims ever since the first
Frankish warriors entered Jerusalem.
Osama bin Laden has spoken of his organisation not as al-Qaida but of a "World
Islamic Front for Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders," and called in a fatwa for
"Jihad against Jews and Crusaders."
Such usage is widespread. On November 8, 2002 — shortly before the beginning of
the Iraqi war that toppled Saddam Hussein — Sheikh Bakr Abed Al-Razzaq
Al-Samaraai preached in Baghdad's Mother of All Battles mosque about "this
difficult hour in which the Islamic nation [is] experiencing, an hour in which
it faces the challenge of [forces] of disbelief of infidels, Jews, crusaders,
Americans and Britons."
Similarly, when Islamic Jihadists bombed the U.S. Consulate in Jeddah, Saudi
Arabia, in December 2004, they explained that the attack was part of larger plan
to strike back at "Crusaders": "This operation comes as part of several
operations that are organised and planned by al-Qaida as part of the battle
against the crusaders and the Jews, as well as part of the plan to force the
unbelievers to leave the Arabian Peninsula," the Jihadists said in a statement.
They also said that Jihad warriors "managed to enter one of the crusaders' big
castles in the Arabian Peninsula and managed to enter the American consulate in
Jeddah, in which they control and run the country."
In the face of this, Westerners should not be embarrassed by the Crusades. It's
time to say, "enough," and teach our children to take pride in their own
heritage.
They should know that they have a culture and a history of which they can and
should be grateful; that they are not the children and grandchildren of
oppressors and villains; and that their homes and families are worth defending
against those who want to take them away, and are willing to kill to do so.

1. Rise of the Ottomans
By the year 1300, a weakened Byzantium had seen most of its Anatolian provinces
lost among some ten Seljuk Ghazi principalities.
Ertugrul’s son Osman becomes Bey in 1281, by 1299 declared himself a sovereign
from the Seljuk’s, establishing the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman society comprised of many ethnicities: Greek, Armenian, Assyrian,
Arab, Jew, Kurd, Persian, Georgian, Bulgarian, Serb, Hungarian, Croatian,
Romanian, Albanian, etc. The Turk was the ruling and superior element to all
others. The Sultanate, government sectors, viziers, pashas, judges, and the
military establishment had to be Turkish and Muslim. The Janissary Corps was the
backbone of the Military. Its members were forcefully taken from Christian
families, converted and raised as Turks. The Ottoman traditionally got their
wives and harem girls from Christian families.
Non-Muslims had to wear a different colour, they could not ride horses, nor
carry weapons. Christians and Jews were called “Kafir” or “Gyavur” (Infidel).
The Law of the land was Islamic Sharia Law.
2. Era of Stagnation (1683-1808)
After its defeat in 1983, the Ottoman Empire went through a stagnation period,
during which many territories ceded. New forces appeared on the horizon,
Austria, Britain, France and Russia. Peter the Great of Russia defeats the
Ottomans in 1723 and takes Dorbent, Baku, and North Atrpatakan (Azerbaijan) from
the Turks and Persians. In the decisive Russian-Turkish War of 1768-1774,
Catherine II brings Southern Ukraine, the Northern Caucasus, and Crimea within
the orbit of the Russian Empire. The Turks try to regain the lost territories,
but a united Russian-Austrian force defeats them in 1791 and 1792, and takes
Transylvania, Bessarabia and Hungary.
Napoleon invades Egypt in 1798 and takes control over Christian Malta and
Christian Palestine. However, Britain fights France defending the Ottomans.
Napoleon withdraws, the Turks regain Egypt, and Britain is rewarded with
Malta.
Following a short battle in 1807 with Britain, the enraged Janissaries depose
Sultan Selim III for his cousin Mustafa IV. Mustafa is deposed after one year
for his brother Mahmud II. Each Sultan subsequently murders his brother. The
Ottomans lose more lands from their crumbling Empire. During the series of wars
between 1806 and 1812, the Russians crush the Ottomans, who sign the Treaty of
Bucharest. One day after the Treaty, Napoleon attacks Russia.
With the “Second Serbian Uprising” in 1815, Serbia gains independence from the
Ottoman Empire with heroes like Karadorde Petrovic and Milos Obrenovic.
Influenced by the writings and murder of Greek author Rigas Feraios, The Greek
War of Independence begins in 1821 and lasts for almost ten years. The Greek
people struggle to rid themselves of Ottoman Turkish tyranny and win their
recognised independence in 1832.
At the Battle of Navarino, the Sultan closes the Dardanelles for Russian ships
and revokes the Akkerman Convention.
After the Russian-Persian and Russian-Turkish Wars of 1828-1829, the Ottomans
recognise Russian sovereignty over Georgia and Eastern Armenia.
Starting in the 1830’s, the Ottoman Empire became known as the “Sick man of
Europe”.
3. Three Reformist Sultans (1808-1876)
Despite the political and military fateful years, Sultan Mahmud II has the
courage to introduce a series of fundamental reforms into the Ottoman Empire.
His Vizier, Mustafa Pasha takes the initiative in resuming reforms but he is
killed by the Janissaries. Mahmud abolishes the Janissary corps in 1826 and
establishes a modern Ottoman Army, naming it Nizam-i Cedid, (New Order).
In 1831 Sultan Mahmud opens the first Government Hospital, and in 1833
introduces a wide series of reforms in legal, educational, scientific and other
policies in an edict called “Tanzimat” (Reforms). Sultan Mahmud forbids the
abuses of the governors and vakifs, killing of people at will by pashas and
agas, and places legal and property arbitrations under state administration. He
dies in 1839.
Sultan Abdulmejid continues his father’s reforms by replacing the Islamic Sharia
Law by a European model Civil Code and Banking system. He establishes the first
modern universities and academies, abolishes some unfair taxes on non-Muslims,
and brings various provisions for the better administration of the public
service.
In 1854 Britain and France along with the Ottomans go to war against Russia in
the Crimean Peninsula. The allied forces defeat Russia and impose heavy
conditions in the Treaty of Paris, signed in 1856. At the closing of the Crimean
War of 1856, Sultan Abdulmejid decrees the “Hatt-i Humayun” thus promising
equality in education, government appointments, and administration of justice to
all regardless of creed. The greatest change was the Ottoman State’s acceptation
of the notion of “minorities”. Muslim government organisations (civil and
military schools) begin to accept non-Muslim citizens. The official state
language (in documentation) principle (Turkish) was broken, and the Empire
becomes a multi-language system. Patriarchates begin to administer justice on
the state level. Sultan Abdulmejid dies at the young age of 39 in 1861.
Sultan Abdulaziz continues his brother’s reformist works. He authorises the
Armenian National constitution in 1863, granting them rights in running
educational, cultural, civic, social, charitable and religious matters. In
1871-76, Sultan Abdulaziz faces opposition from Islamic conservative and fanatic
elements, demanding the return of the Sharia Law and the rule of Islam. His
reformist Viziers, Fuad and Ali Pashas die in 1869 and 1871. The reaction from
the conservatives was the rise of the liberal party, led by Midhat Pasha. As a
result of the ensuing inner conflict, Sultan Abdulaziz was deposed and murdered
in 1876.
After the 1870-71 French-German War, Nationalism was on the rise across Europe.
It was fanning the feelings of independence among its subjects, even among
Turks. The Empires in Europe were heading towards war.
The three reformist sultans, worked hard to gather all their subjects under the
idea of “Ottomanism”, in order to keep the falling Empire. They rejected the
notion of “Turkishness”, as historians E. Chelebi and I. M. D’Ohson testify. As
a result of the Russian-Turkish wars and the rising local nationalism, the
ruling Ottoman element began calling itself as the “Turk”. Abdulmejid’s son,
Murad V rules for 93 days in 1876. He is deposed on the accusations of being
mentally ill. He is placed under house arrest for the rest of his life, dying in
1904.
History of the Ottoman Turkish Empire II (1876-1909)
4. The Armenians in the Ottoman Empire
The Armenians in the Ottoman Empire were mainly living on their millennial
ancestral homeland, called the “Eastern Six Vilayets” under the millet system.
They were also populous in Cilicia and the major cities of Ottoman Turkey, where
many rose to prominent positions in finance and business. In accordance to the
dhimmi system, Armenians, as Christians and Jews, living under the Islamic laws,
were guaranteed limited freedoms such as the right to worship but were, in
effect, treated as second-class citizens. They were forbidden to carry weapons
and to ride horses, their children were subject to the Devshirmeh system (giving
up boys to be forcefully converted to Muslims and raised as Turks), their houses
could not overlook those of Muslims, and the ringing of church bells could not
disturb Muslims. Testimony against Muslims by them was inadmissible in courts no
matter the crime. Violating the dhimmi system, would result in punishment
carried out by the authorities ranging from paying fines to the execution of the
“offender”.
In the nineteenth century, frustrations with these restrictions lead many of the
minorities to protest for greater freedom. In 1839, the Ottomans implemented the
Tanzimat reforms to help improve the situation, although they were mostly
ineffective. When several ethnicities of the Balkans, frustrated with the
prevailing conditions, had often revolted against Ottoman rule, Armenians
remained dormant during these years, earning them the title of “millet-i sadika”
or the “loyal millet.”
In the mid-1860’s to early 1870’s under the reform laws of Sultan Abdulmejid,
Armenians began to ask for better treatment from the Ottoman government, after
amassing the signatures of peasants from eastern Anatolia.
The Armenian Communal Council petitioned the government to relieve the
situation of towns: Widespread forced land seizure, forced conversion of women
and children, arson, protection extortion, rape and murder was common. Other
problems were improprieties during tax collection, criminal behaviour by
government officials and the refusal to accept Christians as witnesses in trial.
Despite the set rules, local Turks, Kurds and other Muslims treated their
Christian neighbours as before.
5. The Red Sultan (1876-1909)
At this crucial time, Abdulhamid II accede the throne, becoming the 34th
Sultan. He was tyrannical, debauched, mistrustful and ruthless. He takes over a
country with an empty treasury and banking defaults. While power being in the
hands of Midhat Pasha and the “New Ottomans” (a progressive movement),
Abdulhamid promises Midhat a constitution on the European model. He passes the
first constitution of Ottoman Turkey in 1876 on the eve of an international
conference on the question of reforms in the Balkans. By January 1877 and at the
end of the conference, he removes Midhat Pasha as Grand Vizier and dissolves the
Parliament. Midhat Pasha is exiled and murdered on his orders in 1884.
Abdulhamid considers that the political structures of western norms are not
applicable with the centuries old Ottoman political culture. To build his
treasury, he imposes a heavy tax burden over his subjects, especially the
Christians.
Bosnia revolts against the taxation in 1875 and Bulgaria follows in 1876 to
become free from the Ottomans. The Turks ruthlessly massacre more than 12 000
men, women and children in Bulgaria, and thousands more all over the Balkans.
The Treaty of Kucuk Kaynarca of 1774 gave Russia the right to interfere in
Ottoman affairs to protect the Sultan’s Christian subjects. The British
Government defends the Ottoman actions, and a furious Russia declares war.
The war of 1877-78 takes place in the Balkans and on the Caucasus fronts. The
Russians along with other volunteer ethnic armies deal the Ottomans a crushing
defeat. Able generals from the Balkan and Armenian generals in the Tsar’s Army
like Mikhail Loris-Melikov and Ivan Lazarev among others bring victories to the
Russian forces. In March of 1878 and under pressure from Britain, Russia enters
into a settlement under the Treaty of San Stefano, in which the Ottoman Empire
recognises the independence of Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, and autonomy of
Bulgaria. Article 16 states that Russians would leave the Armenian provinces,
once the Sultan implemented the improvements and reforms demanded by local
requirements in the provinces inhabited by Armenians, and to guarantee their
security from Kurds and Circassians. For commercial and political interests in
mind, Britain’s Disraeli and the Austrians insist that a new treaty be drawn up
in June of that year, at a congress of powers in Berlin.
At the Congress of Berlin, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro were recognised as
independent. And autonomous Bulgaria was greatly reduced and the
Austro-Hungarian Empire occupies Bosnia-Herzegovina. An Armenian delegation
headed by Bishop Mkrtich Khrimian is sent with a formal request for
implementation of the reforms for Armenians. Germany’s Bismarck dismisses the
delegation and refuses them a place on the agenda. Britain secretly agrees with
the Ottoman Empire that it would militarily protect it from Russia and receives
Cyprus in exchange. Disraeli reverses article 16 to 61, which returns two
Armenian provinces with no Russians or Europeans to protect the Armenians. It
leaves the same abusing Sultan as the “guarantor” of their security from Muslim
continuing abuses.
After the Russo-Turkish War, the treatment of the more than 2,5 million
Armenians by the Ottoman Government became an international issue. Despite the
promises of reform by the Sublime Porte at the Congress of Berlin, the situation
even grew worse. Not only Russia but the other European powers were to oversee
the Armenian reforms. An angry Abdulhamid made sure that the conditions of the
Armenians grew worse. Now it was dangerous to be identified as an Armenian
across the Empire. As the Millet structure degraded and as a result of constant
persecutions, Armenians begin to rethink their position in the world. In this
analysis the Armenian subjects of the Empire influenced by the Armenian Diaspora
and following the Balkan examples.
Years passed, and the masses simply yearned for reforms, dreaming only for a
normal administration under Ottoman rule... “The mere mention of the word
“reform” irritated him (Abdul Hamit), inciting his criminal instincts” writes
historian Osman Nuri. Armenian small organisations started printing newsletters
and bulletins to enlighten the Armenian public about their rights and ways to
protect them. Later the first major organisation was the Armenakan Party in
1885, and the Huntchak Party in 1887. In 1890 the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation (Dashnaksutyun) was formed in Tbilisi. Its members armed themselves
into fedayee groups to protect the people from Ottoman oppression and massacres
in the Armenian provinces. Armenians begin clamoring to obtain the reforms which
were promised. They protest in 1892 and 1893 at Merzifon and Tokat and are met
with violence and harsh methods. Abdulhamid declares that “Without Armenians
there would be no Armenian problem”
In 1894, systematic pogroms swept over every district of Turkish Armenia. The
wholesale slaughter of Armenians, forced conversion of villages, the looting and
burning of hundreds of settlements, taking away their possessions. Sultan
Abdulhamid prepared special attacking force from Kurds calling them “Hamidieh”.
Along with the Ottoman Army they attacked men women and children killing them
without distinction. His First Secretary wrote in his memoirs about Abdulhamid
that he decided to pursue a policy of severity and terror against the Armenians,
and in order to succeed in this respect he elected the method of dealing them an
economic blow. He ordered they absolutely avoid negotiating or discussing
anything with the Armenians and inflict upon them a decisive strike to settle
scores. More than 300 000 Armenians were massacred in 1894-1896. In Sasun the
Armenians resisted the massacres. But they eventually succumbed to superior
numbers. A group of Dashnak volunteers stormed the “Ottoman Bank” in 1896 in
order to alarm the Europeans. Hamid had 6000 Istanbul Armenians massacred.
In 1897, Abdulhamid declared that the Armenian question was closed. All the
Armenian revolutionaries had either been killed, or had escaped to Russia. The
Ottoman government closed Armenian societies and restricted Armenian political
movements. The formation of Armenian revolutionary groups began roughly around
the end of the Russo-Turkish War of 1878 and intensified with the first
introduction of Article 166 of the Ottoman Penal code, and the raid of Erzerum
Cathedral. Article 166 was meant to control the possession of arms, but it was
used to target Armenians by restricting them to possess arms. Local Kurdish
tribes were armed to attack the defenceless Armenian population.
ARF member’s attempts to assassinate Abdulhamid in 1905, but he escapes death by
luck. He eases the Armenian persecutions as a result.
The “Young Turk” revolution of 1908 reverses the suspension of the Ottoman
parliament in 1878, marking the onset of the Second Constitutional Era.
Armenians hail the revolution. Hamid restores the Constitution in July. In April
1909 he and Islamist forces attempt a countercoup. It fails to restore him, but
more than 30 000 Armenians are massacred in Adana by revolting army units,
religious students and clerics asking for Sharia law. Hamid is finally deposed
in April 1909 after 33 years of tyrannical rule. His 65 years old brother Resat
Mehmet becomes Sultan Mehmed V, a mere rubberstamping figurehead for the new
government.
a. The Early Years (1923-1934)
With the Treaty of Lausanne, an estimated 200 000 Greeks were to remain in
Turkey following the 1923 population exchange. The Armenians were reduced from
2,5 million to around 150 000 after the Genocide. Turkey declared that no
Armenian was ever allowed to return of the people that escaped (now Republic of
Armenia).
Mustafa Kemal becomes the republic’s first president and subsequently introduces
many radical reforms in political, social, legal, educational, and economic
sectors. Kemal urges his fellow Turks to look and act like Europeans. On October
28, 1927 the first population census counted the population at approximately
13,6 million, with a 9% literacy rate. A new Turkish alphabet based on the Latin
alphabet was accepted on November 1, 1928. After 10 months, Kurdish, Arabic and
Persian languages were banned, replaced by only the Turkish language.
With the Liberal Republican Party, Jihadi groups joined the liberals. They were
suppressed with widespread and bloody methods. The liberal party dissolved on 17
November 1930 and Turkey became a single party dictatorship until 1945.
The Kurds declared independence in 1927. By September 17 1930, the Turks
suppressed the rebellion with 66 000 troop and 100 planes. The most important
Kurdish rebellion in modern Turkey was in 1937-1938, based around the Kizilbash
heartland of Dersim. The Turkish Army mobilised 50 000 troops to suppress the
rebellion. Turkish forces claimed at least 40 000 Dersimlis, who were deported
and massacred following this defeat. Southeast Anatolia was put under martial
law and was subject to military occupation. In addition to destruction of the
villages and massive deportations, Turkish Government encouraged Albanians and
Assyrians to settle in the Kurdish area to change the ethnic composition of the
region.
During WW2, Turkey imposed Jizya, an increased property tax on all Christians
and Jews in the country (Greeks and Armenians). The Jizya was even imposed on
the Dönmeh (converts to Islam). Those who did not pay were condemned to forced
labour in the quarries of Askale, near Erzurum. They did this to “turkify” the
economy. With the draconian Varlik Vergisi in 1942; anticipating the fall of
Stalingrad, Turkey concentrates troops on the Caucasian border. Turkey
quarantines all Christian men between 18-45 years old, and orders 3 large
crematory ovens from Germany... The Turkish officer committee with the
leadership of General Cemil Cahit Toydemir – invited by Hitler, visits the
Eastern front and English Channel coasts on 25 June – 7 July 1943. Gen. H.
Erkilet, Gen. Ali Fuat Erden and Hitler at Wolfsschanze discussed various
strategies.
With Germany nearing defeat, Turkey declares war on the side of the Allies on
February 23, 1945 as a ceremonial gesture, to become a charter member of the
United Nations in 1945.
b. The West and NATO (1945-1954)
After the war the Soviet Union attempts to annul the Treaty of Kars with Turkey
and return parts of Northwestern Armenia. These efforts are halted by
intervention from Winston Churchill and Harry S. Truman.
The close relationship with the United States begins with the Second Cairo
Conference in December 4-6, 1943 and the agreement of July 12, 1947 which
implements the Truman Doctrine. After 1945, in light of the Soviet domination
over Eastern Europe, the US supports Greece and Turkey with economic and
military aid to prevent their falling into the Soviet sphere. The act grant
Turkey more than 100 million USD in aid.
On June 25, 1950 the Korean War starts. Despite being criticised inside Turkey,
the Army along with other 16 nations goes to war against North Korea. Turkey
participates in this campaign in order to gain membership in NATO, which Turkey
joins in 1952.
c. Pogroms, Coup and deportations of Christians (1955-1961)
On September 6 and 7, 1955, a pogrom directed primarily at Istanbul’s 100 000
strong Greek minority takes place. Jews and Armenians living in the city and
their businesses were also targeted in the pogrom. A Turkish mob, most of which
was trucked into the city in advance, assaulted Istanbul’s Greek community for
nine hours. Shovels, pickaxes, crowbars, ramming rods and petrol was used. 4000
private taxis were requisitioned to transport the perpetrators. Dozens of Greeks
(two Orthodox priests) and at least one Armenian died during the pogrom as a
result of beatings and arsons. Thirty-two Greeks were severely wounded. Many
Greek women were raped, a number of men were forcibly circumcised by the mob.
4348 Greek-owned businesses, 110 hotels, 27 pharmacies, 23 schools, 21
factories, 73 churches and over a thousand Greek-owned homes were badly damaged
or destroyed. The mob chanted “Death to the Gavours”, “Massacre the Greek
traitors”, “Down with Europe [My
emphasis]”
The riot died down by midnight with the intervention of the Turkish Army and
martial law was declared. Eyewitnesses reported, however, that army officers and
policemen had earlier participated in the rampages and in many cases urged the
rioters on.
After a clash over the “separation of religion and state” between Inonu’s
Republican People’s Party and his opponents, president Celal Bayar and prime
minister Adnan Menderes; and due to the level of influence the Islamists had
gained in the nation, on May 27, 1960 General Cemal Gursel led a military coup
d’etat removing President Celal Bayar and Prime Minister Adnan Menderes. They
were charged with high treason, misuse of public funds and abrogation of the
constitution.
According to Zorlu’s lawyer at the Yassiada trial, a mob of 300 000 was
marshaled in a radius of 40 miles (60 km) around the city for the pogrom.
Menderes and two others were sentenced to death by hanging.
Deported with two day’s notice, the Greek community of Istanbul shrunk from
100 000 persons in 1955 to only 48 000 in 1965. Armenians and Jews were also
thrown out of Turkey.
d. Divide and Conquer (1961-1974)
The census of 1960 in Cyprus showed that Greek Cypriots comprised 77%, Turkish
Cypriots 18%, and 5% were other ethnicities.
Cyprus was declared an independent state on August 16, 1960 with Archbishop
Makarios as President and a constitution with equal Turkish governance, (Turkish
vice-president) despite their minority status on the Island. Turkish Cypriots
saw themselves as Turks living in Cyprus rather than Turkish Cypriots. They
developed the concept of Taksim, the partitioning of Cyprus into a Greek
Cypriot-controlled region, and a Turkish Cypriot-controlled region.
The Zurich and London Agreements, drawn among Greece, Turkey and the UK became
complex and atypical, granting the Turkish Cypriot community political rights
disproportionate their numbers and containing permanent restrictions on Enosis
and Taksim alike.
In 1965, the Justice Party of Suleiman Demirel won an absolute majority, which
it increased in 1969, with an increasing polarisation between the Justice Party
on the right and the Republican People’s Party of Ismet Inonu and Bulent Ecevit
on the left.
In 1969, Alparslan Turkes, a member of the Turkish branch of NATO’s stay-behind
army, known as Gladio, founded the right wing Nationalist Movement Party (MHP),
whose youth organisations became known as the Grey Wolves (Fascists).
On March 12, 1971 the Turkish military threatens intervention, forcing the
Demirel government to resign. The 1971 coup leads to mounting violence between
ultranationalists and communists in the cities of Turkey, killing more than 5000
at the hands of MIT.
In July 1974, dissatisfaction among right-wing Greek nationalists favoring
Enosis (unification) with Greece precipitated a coup d’etat against President
Makarios. The coup was sponsored by the military government of Greece and led by
Cypriot officers.
On 20 July 1974, Turkey launches an air- and sea-based invasion of Cyprus. Large
numbers of Greek Cypriots lost their lives in the areas overrun by Turkish
forces, and 170 000 Greek Cypriots were evicted from their homes and forced to
move to the south. Cities are attacked with napalms. Large numbers of Greek
Cypriots lost their lives. Churches are destroyed, desecrated or converted into
hotels. Turkey captures thousands of soldiers and executes them. As of today,
there are 1534 Greek Cypriots unaccounted for, as well as over 150 000 Greek
Cypriot refugees displaced persons.
Turkey initiates a campaign and ships more than 150 000 Turks from mainland
Turkey to Cypruss for the purpose of settlement. The Turkish Cypriots proclaim a
separate state, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), under the
leadership of Rauf Denktas, on November 15, 1983, recognised only by Turkey.
Turkey now occupies 37% of Cyprus even though there were only 18% Turks in
Cyprus in 1960. Half of the Capital Nicosia remains occupied.
e. Minorities Disallowed (1975-1990)
Kurdish nationalism began resurgence in the 1970’s when Turkey was racked with
Left-right clashes. The Marxist PKK was formed demanding a Kurdish state, led by
its chairman, Abdullah Ocalan. Kurds counted almost 20% of Turkey’s population.
The Turkish Army violently suppressed the Kurds, killing thousands of Kurdish
civilians indiscriminately. After the Kahramanmaras massacre of Alevis in 1978,
martial law was declared.
On September 12, 1980 another coup d’etat, headed by General Kenan Evren, Chief
of the General Staff, was successful.
The World being silent regarding the Armenian Genocide, Marxist-Leninist groups
like ASALA, target Turkish diplomats, to bring Turkey to terms of its bloody
past and to raise awareness to the denied Armenian issues. In 1983 the Justice
Commandoes of the Arm. Genocide attempts to take over the Turkish Embassy in
Lisbon but it fails. The five men avoid capture by blowing the building after
releasing the staff.
Kurdish music, dance and culture gets banned in Turkey between 1983 and 1991, it
was forbidden to publicise, publish and/or broadcast in any language other than
Turkish. Armenians in Turkey become target to daily harassment and persecution.
The Turkish Army commits acts of extreme violence in order to fight “terrorism”.
Hundreds of thousands of men, women and children are killed ore systematically
tortured in prisons from the early 80’s to the early 90’s. However, in 1990-91
the World was to change forever.
f. Fall of the Iron Curtain (1991-1994)
With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Armenia breaks free. The
Armenians in Karabakh who wanted to unite with Armenia for decades, decide to
protest their case. Even before its independence, Soviet Azerbaijan (94% Muslim
where majority are Turkic) suppresses the voice of the Armenians with street
pogroms and massacres in Sumgait in 1988 and Baku in 1990. Faced with brutal
Azeri methods to quell the Armenians, Karabakh Armenians vote to secede from
Azerbaijan, to which the later responds with full scale war in 1992, backed and
aided by Turkey. The Armenians fight back as they remember the past. Even with
food and power shortage in Armenia and Azerbaijan often bombing civilian targets
with military aeroplanes. Karabakh takes the offensive and scores vital
victories in late 1992 and 1993. Azerbaijan recruits Afghan, Chechen and other
voluntary Mujahedeen.
In light of the Armenian successive victories, Turkey’s Prime Minister Tansu
Ciller threatens to invade Armenia with thousands of Turkish troops. Russia
warns Turkey and counters their movements to ward them off. Aliev tries with
every method to win the lost territories, to no avail. After six years of
fighting an exhausted Azerbaijan finally asks for a cease fire in 1994. Turkey
and Azerbaijan subsequently blockade Armenia. In addition, Azerbaijan takes
“revenge” by wiping out the Armenian Cemetery in Julfa, Naxichevan and
desecrating Armenian churches.
Current situation of Armenia (2008, source CIA): Armenia is primarily a source
country for women and girls trafficked to the UAE and Turkey for the purpose of
commercial sexual exploitation; Armenian men and women are trafficked to Turkey
and Russia for the purpose of forced labour. My comment: The EU and the US have
showed little or no will at all to support Armenia in any way. They remain to be
the last survivors of Byzantine Christianity, largely ignored by the Christian
world.
g. European Union? (1995-2007)
On 14 April, 1987, Turkey submitted its application for formal membership into
the European Community. It was refused, citing Turkey’s economic and political
situation, poor relations with Greece and the conflict with Cyprus.
The 1995 elections brought a short-lived coalition between Yilmaz and Ciller at
the helm. In 1997, the military, committed the fourth coup by sending a
memorandum to Erbakan government requesting that he resign and banning his
religious Party.
A series of economic shocks led to new elections in 2002, bringing into power
the religious Justice and Development Party of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who
introduced a series of new reforms.
Status as of today:
Turkey restricts religious rights of Christians and converts. Their murder is
indirectly encouraged. Millions of Kurds, Assyrians, Alevies, Yezidies and other
minorities have no status. Women in Turkey are often subjected to “honour”
killings and employment discrimination.
Turkey occupies 37% of Cyprus with half of its Capital Nicosia and refuses to
recognise the Republic of Cyprus.
Search Turkish history and compare...
What is expected from a country that murders its intellectuals and journalists
for uttering a word... “Genocide”... Not forgetting to honour those same
murderers.... What is expected from a country that restricts speech, jails and
fines its authors, pressmen, thinkers for daring to think and “insulting
Turkishness”, and regards all minorities as “Turks”... With centuries of
unrepentant murders and violations, is Turkey fit to enter the European Union?
Or is it still “The sick man of Europe”.
All EU and national level parliamentarians who supports EU membership for Turkey
should travel to the Turkish countryside, wear a sweater with a cross, and see
how long before it takes before they are beaten or gets murdered. Then he will
bear witness himself how “tolerant” Turkish Muslims are…
Current situation in Turkey will continue in another section.

Jus primae noctis
or droit du seigneur is the right to
sleep with a nubile (young and sexually attractive) servant before turning her
over to her servant husband (the right by which a landlord may sleep first night
with the bride of a newly married serf), although the custom may be avoided by
the payment of a fine.
This law was imposed by the Ottoman rulers and widely practiced in countries
under the Ottoman rule (provinces of the Ottoman Empire were: Greece, Bulgaria,
Serbia, Bosnia) until the very end of the 19th century.
The picture, painted by Paja Jovanovic, shows a bride preparing for the wedding
night. The first night she is going to spend with her landlord. Landlords (beg,
aga) were usually Turks but there were many local nobles converting to Islam to
save their privileges when the region was controlled by the Ottoman Empire.
* The right was used on a braid of a feudal dependant or servant, any dhimmi.
They were Christians and the right wasn't used on Muslim brides.
On the day before her wedding the young Christian bride will be visited by a
representative of the landlord (beg, aga). The representative is usually
accompanied by a file of soldiers. The representative takes the bride to the
house of the landlord for a day and a night, raping her repeatedly, and returns
her to her home at dawn on the wedding day.
An interesting detail on the picture is that all women on the picture are
dressed in traditional oriental (Turkish style) clothing. Under the Ottomans
textile styles has influenced by Islamic tradition. Women on the picture except
the one on the right have their hair covered with a shawl (also called shamija
or mahram) according to the Islamic custom.
Women wore "dimije" (it looks like baggy trousers) of thin, often gold-woven,
silk brocade, emphasising the female figure.
1998 Yugoslav postal authorities issued 4 stamps dedicated to national
customs. The motif on the stamp of 6,00 din. value is the painting
"Dressing/Adornmnet of the Bride" by Paja Jovanovic

Jus Primae Noctis - Details
The historical acceptance of rape may have influenced the incidence of rape in
the wars of the last decade in former Yugoslavia. However, there were other
historical factors which tended to promote its use and lend themselves to
propaganda promoting it, in Bosnia-Herzegovina as well as Serbia. Under Ottoman
rule, within which much of Serbia gained autonomy in 1830 but Bosnia-Herzegovina
was to remain until 1878, there had been a disadvantaged position of Serbs and
Croats.
The use or misuse of Serb and other Christian minority women by Muslim men,
especially Ottoman officials and the landlord class, has been a major source of
grievance. Polygamy and concubinage by Muslim men, especially Ottoman officials
and landlords or begs, resulted in wives and concubines being taken from the
Christian population as well as the Muslim one, and often abandoned when no
longer wanted. The insecurity of these women resulted in their having relatively
few children, and resorting to abortion, infanticide and other birth control
measures (Stoianovich 1994, p. 159).
The other ‘misuse’ was through ‘first night’ arrangements, more generally known
as the jus primae noctis (right to
the first night) or droit de seigneur
(the right of the feudal lord), by which the janissary in charge of an estate or
the local landlord had the right to the virginity of all brides among Serb and
other serfs. These arrangements are a folk memory rather than attested by
literary sources. They were mentioned by Bosnian Serb former politician Biljana
Plavsic in 1993 in an attempt to assert that rape was the war strategy of the
Muslims and Croats. She noted that it was ‘quite normal of Muslim notables to
enjoy the jus primae noctis with Christian women’ during the Ottoman period
(Cohen 1998, p. 222). Levinsohn (1994, p. 274) quotes Belgrade publisher Petar
Zdazdic as saying that there was a tradition that the Serb serf or peasant would
have to walk around the house with his shoes in his hands when an Ottoman
official or landlord came to the house to have intercourse with his wife. In the
early phase of Ottoman occupation the janissaries, who were in control of major
agricultural estates as well as forming the core of the military, were forbidden
to marry until they retired from the service of the empire. First night and
similar arrangements may have been important substitutes for marriage.
However, the landlords became an increasingly hereditary class. In Bosnia some
three hundred years ago they had to persuade Serbs to come from Montenegro to
work their land as serfs or sharecroppers. Muslim peasants had chosen
increasingly to purchase their own land and work it as smallholders rather than
be serfs, but this option was not open to Christians in Bosnia-Herzegovina until
after 1830. Hence first night and concubinage arrangements for Serb and Croat
kmet or serf women would have become less common in the later phases of Ottoman
rule. Also, the landlord class accounted for no more than 5 to 10 per cent of
the Muslim population – there were 4000 families who had land redistributed from
them in the 1919 land reform. Hence only a small proportion of the Muslim
population had access to Orthodox and Christian women where this was common,
certainly not the majority. In Kosovo the majority of Serbs were in effect serfs
working the land for Albanian clan leaders as well as Turkish landlords prior to
the first Balkan War of 1912, but it is not known what impact this had on access
to women.
Arrangements whereby one community, or at least its privileged class, has access
to the women of another are controversial. A Greek film shown on the Australian
Special Broadcasting Service several years ago depicted such a use of Greek
brides and wives who were serfs on an agricultural estate by the Ottoman
landlord and a visiting relative of his a couple of decades before Greek
independence in 1830. A film of the 1950s shown on SBS also indicates this, but
the ‘misuse’ did not extend to breaking the prospective bride’s virginity, and
the land tenancy was seen as a form of dowry given in exchange for the sexual
services rendered.

On 7 June 2006 Stephen Pound, member of the British House of Commons linked the
case of the Ottoman Greeks with the Armenians and Assyrians claiming that "3.5
million of the historic Christian population of Assyrians, Armenians and Greeks
then living in the Ottoman empire had been murdered, starved to death or
slaughtered - or exiled by 1923."
I will be covering these three Genocides briefly.
Armenian Genocide - 1915-1918 - 1,500,000+ Deaths
The genocide of the Armenians was a jihad. No rayas (non-Muslim dhimmis under
Ottoman rule) took part in it. Despite the disapproval of many Muslim Turks and
Arabs, and their refusal to collaborate in the crime, these massacres were
perpetrated solely by Muslims and they alone profited from the booty: the
victims' property, houses, and lands granted to the muhajirun, and the
allocation to them of women and child slaves. The elimination of male children
over the age of twelve was in accordance with the commandments of the Jihad and
conformed to the age fixed for the payment of the Jizya. The four stages of the
liquidation- deportation, enslavement, forced conversion, and massacre-
reproduced the historic conditions of the Jihad carried out in the dar-al-harb
from the seventh century on. Chronicles from a variety of sources, by Muslim
authors in particular, give detailed descriptions of the organised massacres or
deportation of captives, whose sufferings in forced marches behind the armies
paralleled the Armenian experience in the twentieth century. As in all Jihads
the mosques were a central rallying point where the mullahs and government
officials agitated for Jihad. The activity of mass murders, systematic rapes,
plunders and enslavements therefore naturally peaked each Friday where everyone
felt fully motivated after the weekly pep talk.
The Armenian Genocide, the first genocide of the 20th Century, occurred when two
million Armenians living in Turkey were eliminated from their historic homeland
through forced deportations and massacres.
For three thousand years, a thriving Armenian community had existed inside the
vast region of the Middle East bordered by the Black, Mediterranean and Caspian
Seas. The area, known as Asia Minor, stands at the crossroads of three
continents; Europe, Asia and Africa. Great powers rose and fell over the many
centuries and the Armenian homeland was at various times ruled by Persians,
Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs and Mongols.
Despite the repeated invasions and occupations, Armenian pride and cultural
identity never wavered. The snow-capped peak of Mount Ararat became its focal
point and by 600 BC Armenia as a nation sprang into being. Following the advent
of Christianity, Armenia became the very first nation to accept it as the state
religion. A golden era of peace and prosperity followed which saw the invention
of a distinct alphabet, a flourishing of literature, art, commerce, and a unique
style of architecture. By the 10th century, Armenians had established a new
capital at Ani, affectionately called the 'city of a thousand and one churches.'
In the eleventh century, the first Turkish invasion of the Armenian homeland
occurred. Thus began several hundred years of rule by Muslim Turks. By the
sixteenth century, Armenia had been absorbed into the vast and mighty Ottoman
Empire. At its peak, this Turkish empire included much of Southeast Europe,
North Africa, and almost all of the Middle East.
But by the 1800s the once powerful Ottoman Empire was in serious decline. For
centuries, it had spurned technological and economic progress, while the nations
of Europe had embraced innovation and became industrial giants. Turkish armies
had once been virtually invincible. Now, they lost battle after battle to modern
European armies.
As the empire gradually disintegrated, formerly subject peoples including the
Greeks, Serbs and Romanians achieved their long-awaited independence. Only the
Armenians and the Arabs of the Middle East remained stuck in the backward and
nearly bankrupt empire, now under the autocratic rule of Sultan Abdul Hamid.
By the 1890s, young Armenians began to press for political reforms, calling for
a constitutional government, the right to vote and an end to discriminatory
practices such as “Jizya” - special taxes levied solely against them because
they were Christians. The despotic Sultan responded to their pleas with brutal
persecutions. Between 1894 and 1896 over 100,000 inhabitants of Armenian
villages were massacred during widespread pogroms conducted by the Sultan's
special regiments.
But the Sultan's days were numbered. In July 1908, reform-minded Turkish
nationalists known as "Young Turks" forced the Sultan to allow a constitutional
government and guarantee basic rights. The Young Turks were ambitious junior
officers in the Turkish Army who hoped to halt their country's steady decline.
Armenians in Turkey were delighted with this sudden turn of events and its
prospects for a brighter future. Both Turks and Armenians held jubilant public
rallies attended with banners held high calling for freedom, equality and
justice.
However, their hopes were dashed when three of the Young Turks seized full
control of the government via a coup in 1913. This triumvirate of Young Turks,
consisting of Mehmed Talaat, Ismail Enver and Ahmed Djemal, came to wield
dictatorial powers and concocted their own ambitious plans for the future of
Turkey. They wanted to unite all of the Turkic peoples in the entire region
while expanding the borders of Turkey eastward across the Caucasus all the way
into Central Asia. This would create a new Turkish empire, a "great and eternal
land" called Turan with one language and Islam as the only religion.
Turkey
1913 – 2 million Armenians (10% of total population)
Total population 20 million.
But there was a big problem. The traditional historic homeland of Armenia lay
right in the path of their plans to expand eastward. And on that land was a
large population of Christian Armenians totalling some two million persons,
making up about 10 percent of Turkey's overall population.
Along with the Young Turk's newfound "Turanism" there was a dramatic rise in
Islamic fundamentalist agitation throughout Turkey. Christian Armenians were
once again branded as infidels (non-believers in Islam). Young Islamic
extremists, sometimes leading to violence, staged anti-Armenian demonstrations.
During one such outbreak in 1909, two hundred villages were plundered and over
30,000 persons massacred in the Cilicia district on the Mediterranean coast.
Throughout Turkey, sporadic local attacks against Armenians continued unchecked
over the next several years.
There were also big cultural differences between Armenians and Turks. The
Armenians had always been one of the best-educated communities within the old
Turkish Empire. Armenians were the professionals in society, the businessmen,
lawyers, doctors and skilled craftsmen. And they were more open to new
scientific, political and social ideas from the West (Europe and America).
Children of wealthy Armenians went to Paris, Geneva or even to America to
complete their education.
By contrast, the majority of Turks were illiterate peasant farmers and small
shopkeepers. Leaders of the Ottoman Empire had traditionally placed little value
on education and not a single institute of higher learning could be found within
their old empire. The various autocratic and despotic rulers throughout the
empire's history had valued loyalty and blind obedience above all. Their
uneducated subjects had never heard of democracy or liberalism and thus had no
inclination toward political reform. But this was not the case with the
better-educated Armenians who sought political and social reforms that would
improve life for themselves and Turkey's other minorities.
The Young Turks decided to glorify the virtues of simple Turkish peasantry at
the expense of the Armenians in order to capture peasant loyalty. They exploited
the religious, cultural, economic and political differences between Turks and
Armenians so that the average Turk came to regard Armenians as strangers among
them.
When World War I broke out in 1914, leaders of the Young Turk regime sided with
the Central Powers (Germany and Austria-Hungary). The outbreak of war would
provide the perfect opportunity to solve the "Armenian question" once and for
all. The world's attention became fixed upon the battlegrounds of France and
Belgium where the young men of Europe were soon falling dead by the hundreds of
thousands. The Eastern Front eventually included the border between Turkey and
Russia. With war at hand, unusual measures involving the civilian population
would not seem too out of the ordinary.
As a prelude to the coming action, Turks disarmed the entire Armenian population
under the pretext that the people were naturally sympathetic toward Christian
Russia. Every last rifle and pistol was forcibly seized, with severe penalties
for anyone who failed to turn in a weapon. Quite a few Armenian men actually
purchased a weapon from local Turks or Kurds (nomadic Muslim tribesmen) at very
high prices so they would have something to turn in.
At this time, about forty thousand Armenian men were serving in the Turkish
Army. In the fall and winter of 1914, all of their weapons were confiscated and
they were put into slave labour battalions building roads or were used as human
pack animals. Under the brutal work conditions they suffered a very high death
rate. Those who survived would soon be shot outright. For the time had come to
move against the Armenians.
The decision to annihilate the entire population came directly from the ruling
triumvirate of ultra-nationalist Young Turks. The actual extermination orders
were transmitted in coded telegrams to all provincial governors throughout
Turkey. Armed roundups began on the evening of April 24, 1915, as 300 Armenian
political leaders, educators, writers, clergy and dignitaries in Constantinople
(present day Istanbul) were taken from their homes, briefly jailed and tortured,
then hanged or shot.
Next, there were mass arrests of Armenian men throughout the country by Turkish
soldiers, police agents and bands of Turkish volunteers. The men were tied
together with ropes in small groups then taken to the outskirts of their town
and shot dead or bayoneted by death squads. Local Turks and Kurds armed with
knives and sticks often joined in on the killing.
Then it was the turn of Armenian women, children, and the elderly. On very short
notice, they were ordered to pack a few belongings and be ready to leave home,
under the pretext that they were being relocated to a non-military zone for
their own safety. They were actually being taken on death marches heading south
toward the Syrian Desert.
Muslim Turks who assumed instant ownership of everything quickly occupied most
of the homes and villages left behind by the rousted Armenians. In many cases,
local Turks who took them from their families spared young Armenian children
from deportation. The children were coerced into denouncing Christianity and
becoming Muslims, and were then given new Turkish names. For Armenian boys the
forced conversion meant they each had to endure painful circumcision as required
by Islamic custom.
Turkish gendarmes escorted individual caravans consisting of thousands of
deported Armenians. These guards allowed roving government units of hardened
criminals known as the "Special Organisation" to attack the defenceless people,
killing anyone they pleased. They also encouraged Kurdish bandits to raid the
caravans and steal anything they wanted. In addition, an extraordinary amount of
sexual abuse and rape of girls and young women occurred at the hands of the
Special Organisation and Kurdish bandits. Most of the attractive young females
were kidnapped for a life of involuntary servitude.
The death marches during the Armenian Genocide, involving over a million
Armenians, covered hundreds of miles and lasted months. Indirect routes through
mountains and wilderness areas were deliberately chosen in order to prolong the
ordeal and to keep the caravans away from Turkish villages.
Food supplies being carried by the people quickly ran out and they were usually
denied further food or water. Anyone stopping to rest or lagging behind the
caravan was mercilessly beaten until they rejoined the march. If they couldn't
continue they were shot. A common practice was to force all of the people in the
caravan to remove every stitch of clothing and have them resume the march in the
nude under the scorching sun until they dropped dead by the roadside from
exhaustion and dehydration.
An estimated 75 percent of the Armenians on these marches perished, especially
children and the elderly. Those who survived the ordeal were herded into the
desert without a drop of water. Being thrown off cliffs, burned alive, or
drowned in rivers.
During the Armenian Genocide, the Turkish countryside became littered with
decomposing corpses. At one point, Mehmed Talaat responded to the problem by
sending a coded message to all provincial leaders: "I have been advised that in
certain areas unburied corpses are still to be seen. I ask you to issue the
strictest instructions so that the corpses and their debris in your vilayet are
buried."
But his instructions were generally ignored. Those involved in the mass murder
showed little interest in stopping to dig graves. The roadside corpses and
emaciated deportees were a shocking sight to foreigners working in Turkey.
Eyewitnesses included German government liaisons, American missionaries, and
U.S. diplomats stationed in the country.
During the Armenian Genocide, the Christian missionaries were often threatened
with death and were unable to help the people. Diplomats from the still neutral
United States communicated their blunt assessments of the ongoing government
actions. U.S. ambassador to Turkey, Henry Morgenthau, reported to Washington:
"When the Turkish authorities gave the orders for these deportations, they were
merely giving the death warrant to a whole race..."
The Allied Powers (Great Britain, France and Russia) responded to news of the
massacres by issuing a warning to Turkey: "...the Allied governments announce
publicly...that they will hold all the members of the Ottoman Government, as
well as such of their agents as are implicated, personally responsible for such
matters."
The warning had no effect. Newspapers in the West including the New York Times
published reports of the continuing deportations with the headlines: Armenians
Are Sent to Perish in the Desert - Turks Accused of Plan to Exterminate Whole
Population (August 18, 1915) - Million Armenians Killed or in Exile - American
Committee on Relief Says Victims of Turks Are Steadily Increasing - Policy of
Extermination (December 15, 1915).
Temporary relief for some Armenians came as Russian troops attacked along the
Eastern Front and made their way into central Turkey. But the troops withdrew in
1917 upon the Russian Revolution. Armenian survivors withdrew along with them
and settled in among fellow Armenians already living in provinces of the former
Russian Empire. There were in total about 500,000 Armenians gathered in this
region.
In May 1918, Turkish armies attacked the area to achieve the goal of expanding
Turkey eastward into the Caucasus and also to resume the annihilation of the
Armenians. As many as 100,000 Armenians may have fallen victim to the advancing
Turkish troops.
However, the Armenians managed to acquire weapons and they fought back, finally
repelling the Turkish invasion at the battle of Sardarabad, thus saving the
remaining population from total extermination with no help from the outside
world. Following that victory, Armenian leaders declared the establishment of
the independent Republic of Armenia.
World War I ended in November 1918 with a defeat for Germany and the Central
Powers including Turkey. Shortly before the war had ended, the Young Turk
triumvirate; Talaat, Enver and Djemal, abruptly resigned their government posts
and fled to Germany where they had been offered asylum.
In the months that followed, repeated requests by Turkey’s new moderate
government and the Allies were made asking Germany to send the Young Turks back
home to stand trial. However all such requests were turned down. As a result,
Armenian activists took matters into their own hands, located the Young Turks
and assassinated them along with two other instigators of the mass murder.
Meanwhile, representatives from the fledgling Republic of Armenia attended the
Paris Peace Conference in the hope that the victorious Allies would give them
back their historic lands seized by Turkey. The European Allies responded to
their request by asked the United States to assume guardianship of the new
Republic. However, President Woodrow Wilson's attempt to make Armenia an
official U.S. protectorate was rejected by the U.S. Congress in May 1920.
But Wilson did not give up on Armenia. As a result of his efforts, the Treaty of
Sevres was signed on August 10, 1920 by the Allied Powers, the Republic of
Armenia, and the new moderate leaders of Turkey. The treaty recognised an
independent Armenian state in an area comprising much of the former historic
homeland.
However, Turkish nationalism once again reared its head. The moderate Turkish
leaders who signed the treaty were ousted in favour of a new nationalist leader,
Mustafa Kemal, who simply refused to accept the treaty and even re-occupied the
very lands in question then expelled any surviving Armenians, including
thousands of orphans.
No Allied power came to the aid of the Armenian Republic and it collapsed. Only
a tiny portion of the easternmost area of historic Armenia survived by being
becoming part of the Soviet Union.
After the successful obliteration of the people of historic Armenia during the
Armenian Genocide, the Turks demolished any remnants of Armenian cultural
heritage including priceless masterpieces of ancient architecture, old libraries
and archives. The Turks even leveled entire cities such as the once thriving
Kharpert, Van and the ancient capital at Ani, to remove all traces of the three
thousand year old civilisation.
Referring to the Armenian Genocide, the young German politician Adolf Hitler
duly noted the half-hearted reaction of the world’s great powers to the plight
of the Armenians. After achieving total power in Germany, Hitler decided to
conquer Poland in 1939 and told his generals: "Thus for the time being I have
sent to the East only my 'Death's Head Units' with the orders to kill without
pity or mercy all men, women, and children of Polish race or language. Only in
such a way will we win the vital space that we need. Who still talks nowadays
about the Armenians?"

Armenian Genocide - Quotes
Talat Pasha: 6/1/1915
– “Turkey is taking advantage of the war in order to thoroughly liquidate
(grundlich aufzaumen) its internal foes, i.e., the indigenous Christians,
without being thereby disturbed by foreign intervention.”
“What on earth do you want? The question is settled. There are no more
Armenians.”
Jemal Pasha:
“800 000 Armenian deportees were actually killed... by holding the guilty
accountable the government is intent on cleansing the bloody past.” I am ashamed
of my nation”
Enver Pasha: 5/19/1916
– “The Ottoman Empire should be cleaned up of the Armenians and the Lebanese. We
have destroyed the former by the sword, we shall destroy the latter through
starvation.”
“You are greatly mistaken. We have this country absolutely under our control. I
have no desire to shift the blame onto our underlings and I am entirely willing
to accept the responsibility myself for everything that has taken place.”
Prince Abdul Mecid:
I refer to those awful massacres. They are the greatest stain that has ever
disgraced our nation and race. They were entirely the work of Talat and Enver. I
heard some days before they began that they were intended..
“I went to Istanbul and insisted on seeing Enver. I asked him if it was true
that they intended to recommence the massacres which had been our shame and
disgrace under Abdul Hamid. The only reply I could get from him was: It is
decided: It is the program.”
Damad Ferid Pasha:
He described the treatment of the Armenians as; “A crime that drew the revulsion
of the entire humankind.”
Mustafa Arif: 12/13/1918
– “Surely a few Armenians aided and abetted our enemy, and a few Armenian
Deputies committed crimes against the Turkish nation... it is incumbent upon a
government to pursue the guilty ones. Unfortunately, our wartime leaders, imbued
with a spirit of brigandage, carried out the law of deportation in a manner that
could surpass the proclivities of the most bloodthirsty bandits. They decided to
exterminate the Armenians, and they did exterminate them.”
Mustafa Kemal “Ataturk”: 8/1/1926
– “These left-over from the former Young Turk Party, who should have been made
to account for the millions of our Christian subjects who were ruthlessly driven
en masse, from their homes and massacred, have been restive under the Republican
rule.”
German Quotes:
Hans Freiherr von Wangenheim: 6/17/1915
– Deportation of the Armenians from their homes in the vilayets of Eastern
Anatolia, and their resettlement in other regions is implemented cruelly... it
becomes obvious that deportation of the Armenians arises not only from military
necessity, the internal minister Talat Bey told about it honestly to Doctor
Mortsman, who is employed at the Empire Embassy now. Talat said: “The Sublime
Porte intends to make use of the world war for cleaning the whole country from
internal enemies, the local Christians, so that foreign countries won’t hinder
doing it by their diplomatic interference. This measure will serve to the
interests of all allies of Turkey, especially the Germans...”
Count Wolff-Metternich: 7/10/1916
– “In its attempt to carry out its purpose to resolve the Armenian question by
the destruction of the Armenian race, the Turkish government has refused to be
deterred neither by our representations, nor by those of the American Embassy,
nor by the delegate of the Pope, nor by the threats of the Allied Powers, nor in
deference to the public opinion of the West representing one-half of the world.”
Adolf Hitler: 8/2/1939
– “I have placed my death-head formations in readiness – for the present only in
the East – with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without
compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only
thus shall we gain the living space (Lebensraum) which we need. Who, after all,
speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”
British Quotes:
Viscount James Bryce: 10/6/1915
– “The massacres are the result of a policy which, as far as can be ascertained,
has been entertained for some considerable time by the gang of unscrupulous
adventurers who are now in possession of the Government of the Turkish Empire.
They hesitated to put it in practice until they thought the favourable moment
had come, and that moment seems to have arrived about the month of April.”
Viscount James Bryce: 5/11/1918
– “The Armenian massacre was the greatest crime of the war, and the failure to
act against Turkey is to condone it... ...the failure to deal radically with the
Turkish horror means that all talk of guaranteeing the future peace of the world
is mischievous nonsense.”
Lord Robert Cecil: 11/16/1915
– “I think it may be said, without the least fear of exaggeration, that no more
horrible crime has been committed in the history of the world. This is a
premeditative crime determined on long ago. It was a long-considered, deliberate
policy to destroy and wipe out of existence the Armenians in Turkey. It was
systematically carried out. It was ordered from the above..”
Winston Chuchill:
“In 1915 the Turkish Government began and ruthlessly carried out the infamous
general massacre and deportation of Armenians in Asia Minor. There is no
reasonable doubt that this crime was planned and executed for political
reasons.”
American Quotes:
Henry Morgenthau Sr.: 1/1/1919
– “When the Turkish authorities gave the orders for these deportations, they
were merely giving the death warrant to a whole race; they understood this well,
and, in their conversations with me, they made no particular attempt to conceal
the fact. I am confident that the whole history of the human race contains no
such horrible episode as this. The gr6eat massacres and persecutions of the past
seem almost insignificant when compared to the sufferings of the Armenian race
in 1915.”
Ronald Reagan: 4/22/1981
– “Like the genocide of the Armenians before it, and the genocide of the
Cambodians which followed it, ... the lessons of the Holocaust must never be
forgotten.”
Russian Quotes:
S. D. Sazonov:
I had to refer to the unprecedented sufferings of this unfortunate nation
before. Under the favourable control of the allied Germany, the Turks evidently
intend to fulfil their long-standing dream to exterminate the Armenians which do
not submit to the influence of the Muslims and the hinder the plans of Germany
to subdue the Turkish Empire in economy and politics...
Envoy Smirnov from Cairo: 6/25/1915
– “Cruelties committed against the Armenians in Syria and neighbouring vilayets,
violations, massacres and very often mass slaughter of the population of the
Armenian villages are constantly repeated; families are cruelly separated, wives
are separated from husbands, children are separated from parents, and all of
them are exiled in various directions. Especially the Armenian clergy are
pursued cruelly; the priests are haunted, tortured, their nails are pulled out.”
Israeli Quotes:
Yossi Beilin: 4/27/1994
– “It was not war. It was most certainly massacre and genocide, something the
world must remember... We will always reject any attempt to erase its record,
even for some political advantage.”
Other Quotes:
Valery Brusov: 1916
– “Turks continued their previous policy. They would not stop to commit massive
and most awful massacres that even Leng Timur would not dare to do.”
Prof. Stanley Cohen: 12/1/1995
– “The nearest successful example (of collective denial) in the modern era is
the 80 years of official denial by successive Turkish governments of the 1915-17
genocide against the Armenians in which 1,5 million people lost their lives.
This denial has been sustained by deliberate propaganda, lying and cover-ups,
forging documents, suppression of archives, and bribing scholars.”
Prof. Colin Tatz: 1/1/1996
– “The Turkish denial (of the Armenian Genocide) is probably the foremost
example of historical perversion. With a mix of academic sophistication and
diplomatic thuggery of which we at Macquarie University have been targets, the
Turks have put both memory and history into reverse gear.”
Orhan Pamuk: Feb/2005
– “ one million Armenians were killed in these lands and nobody but me dares to
talk about it.”
Rep. Adam Schiff: 2007
– “The legacy of the Armenian Genocide is woven into the fabric of America. So
let us call genocide, genocide. Let us not minimise the deliberate murder of 1,5
million people. Let us have a moral victory that can shine as a light to all
nations.”
The Muslim world along with the US and UK does not recognise these atrocities as
a Genocide
Although there has been much academic recognition of the Armenian Genocide, this
has far from always been followed by governments and media.
Despite Turkish denials and blackmail, the Armenian Genocide is unanimously
verified by the International Association of Genocide Scholars and accepted by
any nation that upholds moral responsibility above political gain.
Even today, the United States, Great Britain, Turkey and the rest of the Muslim
World have refused to recognise the Armenian Genocide.
Obviously, Muslim countries will rarely condemn state or small scale Jihad but
it’s very apparent what kind of nobleness, loyalty and ethics the British and US
government value and have done continuously throughout the 1900th
century (only driven by self interest).
It should be noted though that the American people through their representatives
on state level have made a lot more effort in condemning this as Genocide (40
out of 50 states).

Greek Jihadi Genocide 1914-23
During the years 1914-1923, whilst the attention of the international community
focused on the turmoil and aftermath of the First World War, the indigenous
Greek minority of the Ottoman Empire, the Republic of Turkey's predecessor, was
subjected to a centrally-organised, premeditated and systematic policy of
annihilation. This genocide, orchestrated to ensure an irreversible end to the
collective existence of Turkey's Greek population, was perpetrated by two
consecutive governments; the Committee for Union and Progress, better known as
the Young Turks, and the nationalist Kemalists led by Mustafa Kemal "Atatürk". A
lethal combination of internal deportations involving death marches, forced
conversions to Islam, torture, mutilation, rape, enslavement and massacres
conducted throughout Ottoman Turkey resulted in the death of one million Ottoman
Greeks. The International Association of Genocide Scholars, an organisation of
the world’s foremost experts on genocide, have affirmed the Ottoman Greek
Genocide.
Many of the victims were massacred in bulks as early as 1895 (much earlier than
the World War I) and up to 1955 (much after the World War II). The present
estimate is that some 1.400.000 Greek children, men and women of all ages were
killed during that period.
In the same places and often at the same time, the Turks tortured and massacred
millions of Armenians and Assyrians of all ages. The fact that the three nations
were victims of the same Jihadi extermination policy is another proof of each of
the three Genocides. It was not a "war", it was not a "revolt". It was a planned
effort of extermination.[1][2]
Dr. William C. King's article "1,500,000 Greek Christians Massacred or Deported
by Turks", published in King's Complete History of the World War (1922), covers
the genocidal experiences of Ottoman Greeks up to 1918:
The article[3]:
1,500,000 Greek Christians Massacred or Deported by Turks
Systematic Attempt to Extinguish the Hellenic Race Inspired by Pagan Germany
Section 19- 1918
Under the tuition of pagan Germany, the unspeakable Turks attempted to destroy
the large and flourishing Greek Christian populations that, from time
immemorial, have dwelt along the coast of Asia Minor and the Marmoran coast in
Thrace.
The Mahometans (Muslims) tore these Christians from their ancestral homes,
confiscated all their property, and deported them variously into the interior of
the Asia Minor, into the Turkish pale, or over the burning desert sands to far
off Mesopotmaia. It is estimated that 1,500,000 Greeks were thus deported into
desolate regions where they died off like flies of starvation of disease.
On this dreadful journey 700,000 are known to have perished. The survivors found
themselves without shelter or food in a strange land and subjected to every
indignity and torture which the abominable Turks, and their pagan German allies,
could devise. These among the Greeks who
would agree to abjure Christianity and adopt the faith of Islam were spared
[My emphasis]; the rest were left to
starve.
The wholesale deportation of the Greeks from Thrace had been under way since the
close of the Balkan Wars in 1913. It accorded not at all with Germany’s ideas of
Oriental conquest to permit these Greeks to remain in European Turkey. The Turks
were consequently instructed to extirpate the Greeks in any way they might
choose.
In justification of these wholesale deportations, the Turks falsely alleged that
the Hellenic populations of Thrace and the Asian coast were plotting revolution.
The first deportations, numbering 250,000, were from Thrace into Greece proper.
This persecution continued unabated up to the opening of the War. In this period
the Greek Government did everything possible to protect their co-nationals, but
after the World War had begun, King Constantine and his German wive (the sister
of Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany), impeded every attempt made to ameliorate the lot
of the exiled Hellenes. The bishop of Pera, after journeying to Athens to
implore the King to take some action against the Turkish atrocities, was warned
by the Queen to return to his home, “as it is the will of the King that you live
on good terms with the Turks.”
All this time the German agencies in Turkey, especially the German Palestine
Bank, were urging the Mussulmans to cultivate hatred for the Christians and to
have no commercial dealings with them.
The Bulgarian-Ottoman(Turkish) Plot
Bulgaria, half Turkish itself, entered into the plot to exterminate the Greek
Christian race, by signing a pact with the Ottoman Empire, at Adrianople in
June, 1915. Under this agreement Bulgaria consented (1) to the establishment of
a Turco-Bulgar commercial union as the complement of the political union, (2)
the seizure of the commerce of the Orient from the hands of the Greeks, (3) the
establishment in the Orient of Moslem agencies for the importation and
exportation of goods for the exclusive use of Moslems, who were to break of all
commercial relations with the Greeks, (4) a restriction of the privileges of the
Greek Patriarch and his ecclesiastical jurisdiction, (5) the prohibition of the
teaching of Greek in future, (6) the
conversion by force of the people in the Christian settlements and the
imposition of mixed marriages. [My
emphasis]
Germany the Author of the Massacres
Herr Lepsius, a German Envoy who had been sent to Constantinople on a special
mission in July, 1915, acknowledged that the Greek and Armenian massacres were
two phases of a single progra66m of extermination of the Christian elements,
intended to make Turkey a purely Moslem state.
That Germany was the author and inspiration of these massacres of Christians
became known in 1917. The Greek Minister at Constantinople, M. Kallerghis, had
protested the Turkish Grand Vizier, Talaat Bey, against the deportations of the
Greeks in the Aival district. Talaat Bey promised to telegraph to the German
General Liman von Sanders, telling him to cease the deportations. Von Sanders,
who was in fact Commander-in-Chief of all the Turkish forces, replied that if
the deportations ceased, he would not guarantee the safety of the Turkish Army,
adding that the had referred the matter to the German Grand Headquarters Staff,
who entirely approved of his action.
Greeks Drafted into the Turkish Army
The persecution of the Greek Christians, under their German-Turkish master, was
carried out with devilish ingenuity. All their privileges were abolished. After
an enrollmment of Christians, there was a levy of “contributions”. Then the
forcible conversion of Christians to Islamism was attempted. Deportations and
massacres followed. Meanwhile the Turkish language supplanted the Greek language
in all the schools; Turkish geography and history, instead of Greek, were
taught; the Patriarchy was abolished. All property held by the Greek civil and
religious communities were confiscated and became the property of the Turkish
State.
On Turkey’s entry into the War, a decree was signed and promulgated which
rendered all men up to the age of 48 liable for military service. The Christians
ghus drafted into the armies of the Turks were for the most part formed into
labour battalions and sent hundreds of miles into the interior, where they
employed in road-making, building, tunnel excavating and in field work for the
rich pashas. Their daily ration was half a loaf of black bread, eked out with a
little dried fish or olives. Driven like slaves and under-nourished, they died
by tens of thousands. Whole battalions succumbed to the ravages of typhus and
cholera. Many thousands were massacred by their inhuman Turkish guards. Of these
Greek battalions it is estimated 150,000 died.
Fortunes of Christians Confiscated
Some hundreds of thousands of Hellenes from Thrace and Asia Minor managed to
escape into Greece, where they subsequently fought in the Greek armies. Their
desertion was the signal for other Turkish atrocities. The property of all
deserters was duly seized and families were deported to the interior. In the
district of Kerassunda, from which 300 Greeks had escaped, the Turks in reprisal
burned 88 villages to the ground. Thirty thousand inhabitants, mostly women and
children, were obliged to march in mid-winter to Angora. On the way, 7,000 died
of exposure.
Meanwhile, the fortunes of many rich Christian were confiscated, and stores were
completely pillaged. Christians were forced under threats of violence and
imprisonment, to contribute large sums for the support of the Turkish Army and
Navy, in addition to their usual heavy taxes.
Finally, under a system of compulsory labour, the Christians were obliged to
cultivate the lands of the Moslems, but no time was allowed them to cultivate
their own fields. If discovered harvesting their own crops a cordon would be
placed around the village, the water supply cut off and the people were deprived
of food and drink.
After a few days of such torture, a band of Bashi-Bazouks were sent into the
villages to pillage and murder. The populations were given the choice of being
deported over the mountains, to places hundreds of miles distant, or of
suffering a lingering death from hunger and thirst. These deportations, begun in
1915, reached a total of 450,000 during the period of the War.
During these tragic pilgrimages the poor barefooted Greeks, beaten by guards,
attacked by brigands, never resting, lacking food and water, wandered on to
their distant destinations. Thousands died by the wayside of fatigue and
suffering. While in transit, many mothers gave birth to infants, but they were
compelled to leave them by the road-side and rejoin the marching columns. En
route they were forbidden to enter the villages to purchase food.
Hundreds of young girls were detained by the Turks and forcibly “converted” to
Islamism.
At Panderma, the German General, Liman
von Sanders, built an orphanage for all Christian girls who had been coerced
into accepting Islam, and compelled the Christian population to contribute
$50,000 toward its support. [My
emphasis]
The Black Sea Colonies
The Greek colonists on the coast of the Black Sea were likewise deported. The
scourge of the Greeks in this region was the later Governor of Bitlis, Rafet
Pasha. More than 150,000 Greeks were deported in this district and in Trebizond,
and upward of 100 Greek villages were destroyed.
Hundreds of young Greek girls, rather
than live as slaves in the harems, committed suicide by drowning. [My
emphasis]
The Order for Greek Deportations
The deporting orders to the Governor of Smyrna, signed by Ali Riga, the chief of
the Turkish Bureau of Correspondence, read as follows:
“It is imperative for political reasons that the Greeks dwelling along the coast
of Asia Minor be compelled to evacuate their villages in order to settle in the
villages of Erzerum and Chaldea. If they refuse to emigrate to the places
assigned to them, you should issue verbal instructions to our Mussulman brothers
so that they may, by all kinds of excesses, compel the Greeks to leave their
homes of their own accord. Do not, in this case, forget to obtain from these
emigrants declarations to the effect that they are leaving their hearths and
homes of their own free will, so that no political complications may later
result therefrom.”
The Martyrdom of the Greeks
Half of the deported Greek populations perished in consequence of ill treatment,
disease and famine, and the survivors suffered continual martyrdom as slaves.
The Turkish functionaries, with German approval, declared that no Christian
should be left alive in Turkey unless he consented to embrace Mohammedanism.
The confiscated fortunes of the deported Greeks surpass in the value
$1,000,000,000.
Political Recognition
Political recognition of the events as genocide is limited, the only countries
officially acknowledging them as such being Greece and Cyprus.

Assyrian Jihadi Genocide (1914-1920)
The Assyrian Genocide (also known as Sayfo , Turkish: Süryani Soykırımı) was
committed against the Assyrian and Syriac Christians of the Ottoman Empire near
the end of the First World War by the leadership of the Young Turks Party. The
Assyrian population of northern Mesopotamia (Tur Abdin, Hakkari, Van, Siirt
region in modern-day southeastern Turkey and Urmia region in northwestern Iran)
was forcibly relocated and massacred by Ottoman (Turkish and Kurdish) forces
between 1914 and 1920 under the regime of the Young Turks.
Scholars have placed the number of Assyrian victims at 500,000 to 750,000 (75%
of the population)[1][2][3][4]
Massacre of Khoi (Eye witness description of one event)
In early 1918, many Assyrians started to flee present-day Turkey. Mar Shimon
Benyamin had arranged for some 3,500 Assyrians to reside in the district of
Khoi. Not long after settling in, Kurdish troops of the Ottoman Army massacred
the population almost entirely. One of the few that survived was Reverend John
Eshoo. After escaping, he stated [7]:
You have undoubtedly heard of the Assyrian massacre of Khoi, but I am certain
you do not know the details.
These Assyrians were assembled into one caravansary, and shot to death by guns
and revolvers. Blood literally flowed in little streams, and the entire open
space within the caravansary became a pool of crimson liquid. The place was too
small to hold all the living victims waiting for execution. They were brought in
groups, and each new group was compelled to stand over the heap of the still
bleeding bodies and shot to death. The fearful place became literally a human
slaughter house, receiving its speechless victims, in groups of ten and twenty
at a time, for execution.
At the same time, the Assyrians, who were residing in the suburb of the city,
were brought together and driven into the spacious courtyard of a house [...]
The Assyrian refugees were kept under guard for eight days, without anything to
eat. At last they were removed from their place of confinement and taken to a
spot prepared for their brutal killing. These helpless Assyrians marched like
lambs to their slaughter, and they opened not their mouth, save by sayings
"Lord, into thy hands we commit our spirits. [...]
The executioners began by cutting first the fingers of their victims, join by
joint, till the two hands were entirely amputated. Then they were stretched on
the ground, after the manner of the animals that are slain in the Fast, but
these with their faces turned upward, and their heads resting upon the stones or
blocks of wood Then their throats were half cut, so as to prolong their torture
of dying, and while struggling in the agony of death, the victims were kicked
and clubbed by heavy poles the murderers carried Many of them, while still
labouring under the pain of death, were thrown into ditches and buried before
their souls had expired.
The young men and the able-bodied men were separated from among the very young
and the old. They were taken some distance from the city and used as targets by
the shooters. They all fell, a few not mortally wounded. One of the leaders went
to the heaps of the fallen and shouted aloud, swearing by the names of Islam's
prophets that those who had not received mortal wounds should rise and depart,
as they would not be harmed any more. A few, thus deceived, stood up, but only
to fall this time killed by another volley from the guns of the murderers.
Some of the younger and good looking women, together with a few little girls of
attractive appearance, pleaded to be killed. Against their will were forced into
Islam's harems. Others were subjected to such fiendish insults that I cannot
possibly describe. Death, however, came to their rescue and saved them from the
vile passions of the demons. The death toll of Assyrians totalled 2,770 men,
women and children.
Statement of German Missionaries
on Urmia.
The latest news is that four thousand Assyrians and one hundred Armenians have
died of disease alone, at the mission, within the last five months. All villages
in the surrounding district with two or three exceptions have been plundered and
burnt; twenty thousand Christians have been slaughtered in Armenia and its
environs. In Haftewan, a village of Salmas, 750 corpses without heads have been
recovered from the wells and cisterns alone. Why? Because the commanding officer
had put a price on every Christian head… In Dilman crowds of Christians were
thrown into prison and driven to accept Islam. [6]
Recognition
The genocide of Assyrians has yet to be officially recognised by any country.
The only logical reason is that most countries don’t want to risk jeopardising
trade relations with Turkey.
As an illustration; In June 2008, Yilmaz Kerimo and Ibrahim Baylan both from the
Swedish Social Democratic Party, brought a bill to the Swedish parliament for
the recognition of the genocide. The parliament resoundingly voted against it,
37 to 245.

Assyrian Genocide in Iraq (1933)
The massacre of Christian Assyrian villagers in the town of Simmele, North Iraq,
and its surroundings was the second[9]. On August 8-11, 1933 the Iraqi army,
under the leadership of Bakir Sidqi, a Kurd, killed 3000 men, women and children
in the village of Simmele and its surroundings. This was one of the first acts
of the new Iraq, having gained its independence from the British in 1932.
It was this Simmele Massacre which inspired Raphael Lemkin, the author of the UN
Convention on Genocide, to coin the term Genocide[10].
Assyrian Massacre (1829 Iraq and Syria)
In October, 1829 the Kurdish leader Rwandez initiated a pogrom against Assyrians
of the Syrian Orthodox Church in North Iraq and Syria. The first village that
was attacked was Bit-Zabda, where 200 men were killed. Subsequently, the Kurds
stormed the Asfas village, first slaying the leader, Deacon Rais Arabo, and then
Reverend Aziz. Eighty children fleeing to a nearby valley were attacked and
murdered by the pursuing Kurds. The young girls of the village were unclothed.
The girls were enslaved while the others were shot on-site. The attackers then
moved to Nisibin, on the border of Turkey and Syria, and repeated similar
atrocities.[11]
Assyrian Massacre (1842 Turkey)
In 1842 Badr Khan Beg, A Hakkari (southeast Turkey) Kurdish Amir, combined with
other Kurdish forces led by Nurallah, attacked the Assyrians, intending to burn,
kill, destroy, and, if possible, exterminate the Assyrians from the mountains.
The Kurds destroyed and burned whatever came within their reach. An
indiscriminate massacre took place. The women were brought before the Amir and
murdered in cold blood. The aged mother of Mar Shimun, the Patriarch of the
Church of the East, was seized by them, and after having practiced on her the
most abominable atrocities, they cut her body into two parts and threw it into
the river Zab, exclaiming, "go and carry to your accursed son the intelligence
that the same fate awaits him." Nearly ten thousand Assyrians were massacred,
and as large a number of woman and children were taken captive, most of whom
were sent to Jezirah to be sold as slaves, to be bestowed as presents upon the
influential Muslims.[12]
30 documented Genocides of Christian
Assyrians since year 630 A.D.
Since 630 A.D., the coming of Islam, Assyrians have suffered 30 genocides at the
hands of Muslims. Subtracting 661 (the first genocide) from 2007 and dividing by
30 yields 45 years -- the frequency of Assyrian genocides. On average, every
second Assyrian generation has suffered genocide. [14]
In addition there are most likely hundreds of cases of mass murderings, hundreds
of thousands of murders.

Genocides Against the Assyrian Nation, http://www.aina.org/martyr.html
By Andrew G. Bostom
Once again, Turks are storming the heart of Europe. This time, it is not by the
sword, but rather in seeking to join the European Union (EU). Once inside the
gates, they will gain access to the great cities, wealth, and power of their
ancient rivals. Smoothing the way for incorporation of the former would-be
conqueror into borderless Europe is an errant belief that Ottoman Turkey was a
tolerant multi-cultural civilisation. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Recently, security analyst Frank Gaffney wrote a courageous essay, featured in
the Washington Times, urging that Turkey's bid to join the EU be rejected.
Gaffney highlighted the Islamic Shari'a-based religious revival under the
current Erdogan regime as the keystone to his cogent argument. Despite Gaffney's
legitimate concerns regarding the current Erdogan government, he reiterates a
common, politically-correct canard which ignores the direct nexus between
Erdogan's ideology, and the goals and behaviours of Erdogan's Ottoman ancestors.
It is ahistorical to speak of "Ottoman tolerance" as distinct from Erdogan's
"Islamism", because the Ottoman Empire expanded via three centuries of
devastating jihad campaigns, and the flimsy concept of Ottoman tolerance was, in
reality, Ottoman-imposed dhimmitude, under the Shari'a.
With formal discussions regarding Turkey's potential EU accession currently
underway, this three part essay will elaborate on several apposite historical
phenomena: Jihad and dhimmitude under the Ottomans, focusing primarily on Asia
Minor and Eastern Europe; the failure of the so-called Ottoman Tanzimat reforms
to abrogate the system of dhimmitude; and the dissolution of this Shari'a state
whose bloody, convulsive collapse during the first World War included a frank
jihad genocide of the Ottoman dhimmi population, once considered most loyal to
the Empire, i.e., the Armenians. I believe such an analysis is particularly
timely, in light of a December 2004 United Nations Conference which lionised
"Ottoman tolerance" as a role model, "… to be adapted even today…" [emphasis
added], and Gaffney's reiteration of this profoundly flawed conception, despite
his own bold opposition to Turkey's entry into the EU.
Part 1 - Jihad Campaigns of the Seljuks and Ottomans
The historian Michael the Syrian (Jacobite Patriarch of Antioch from 1166 to
1199 C.E.) in his Chronicle reproducing earlier contemporary sources, made
important observations regarding events which occurred beginning in the third
decade of the 11th century. He noted,
“…the commencement of the exodus of the Turks to…Syria and the coast of
Palestine…[Where] They subdued all the countries by cruel devastation and
plunder” [1] Subsequently, “Turks and Arabs were mixing together like a single
people…Such was the rule of the Turks amidst the Arabs” [2]
Expanding upon this contemporary account, and the vast array of other primary
sources- Arabic, Turkish, Greek, Latin, Serbian, Bulgarian, and Hungarian. [3]
Bat Ye’or concludes, [4]
…the two waves of Muslim expansion, the Arab from the seventh century, and the
Turkish four centuries later- are remarkably similar…The great Arab and Turkish
conquerors used the same military tactics and the same policies of consolidating
Islamic power. This continuity resulted from the fact that the conquests took
place within the framework of the common ideology of jihad and the
administrative and juridical apparatus of the shari’a- a uniformity that defies
time, since it adapts itself to diverse lands and peoples, being integrated into
the internal coherence of a political theology. In the course of their military
operations, the Turks applied to the conquered populations the rules of jihad,
which had been structured four centuries earlier by the Arabs and enshrined in
Islamic religious law.
The Seljuk and Ottoman jihad campaigns were spearheaded by “Ghazi” (from the
word ghazwa or “razzia”) movements, “Warriors of the Faith”, brought together
under the banner of Islam to fight infidels, and obtain booty. Wittek [5] and
Vryonis [6] have stressed the significance of this movement, in its Seljuk
incarnation, at the most critical frontier of Islam during the 11th and 12th
centuries, i.e., eastern Anatolia. Vryonis notes, [7]
When the Arab traveler al-Harawi passed through these border regions in the
second half of the 12th century, he noted the existence of a shrine on the
Byzantine-Turkish borders (near Afyon-Karahisar) which was reported to be the
tomb of the Muslim martyr Abu Muhammd al-Battal, and at Amorium the tombs of
those who fell in the celebrated siege of the city in 838. These constitute
fascinating testimony to the fact that the ghazi-jihad tradition was closely
intertwined into the nomadic society of Phrygia. Not only was there evidence of
a nomadic invasion but also of an epic society in its heroic age, and it is from
this milieu that the Turkish epics were shaped: the Battalname, the
Danishmendname, and the Dusturname.
Wittek, citing the oldest known Ottoman source, the versified chronicle of
Ahmedi, maintains that the 14th century Ottomans believed they too,
“were a community of Ghazis, of champions of the Mohammedan religion; a
community of the Moslem march- warriors, devoted to the struggle with the
infidels in their neighbourhood” [8].
The contemporary Turkish scholar of Ottoman history, Halil Inalcik, has also
emphasised the importance of Muslim religious zeal- expressed through jihad- as
a primary motivation for the conquests of the Ottoman Turks: [9]
The ideal of gaza, Holy War, was an important factor in the foundation and
development of the Ottoman state. Society in the frontier principalities
conformed to a particular cultural pattern imbued with the ideal of continuous
Holy War and continuous expansion of the Dar ul Islam-the realms of Islam- until
they covered the whole world.
Incited by pious Muslim theologians, these ghazis were at the vanguard of both
the Seljuk and Ottoman jihad conquests. Vacalopoulos highlights the role of the
dervishes during the Ottoman campaigns: [10]
…fanatical dervishes and other devout Muslim leaders…constantly toiled for the
dissemination of Islam. They had done so from the very beginning of the Ottoman
state and had played an important part in the consolidation and extension of
Islam. These dervishes were particularly active in the uninhabited frontier
regions of the east. Here they settled down with their families, attracted other
settlers, and thus became the virtual founders of whole new villages, whose
inhabitants invariably exhibited the same qualities of deep religious fervor.
From places such as these, the dervishes or their agents would emerge to take
part in new military enterprises for the extension of the Islamic state. In
return, the state granted them land and privileges under a generous prescription
which required only that the land be cultivated and communications secured.
Brief overviews of the Seljuk and Ottoman jihad campaigns which ultimately
Islamised Asia Minor, have been provided by Vryonis and Vacalopoulos. First, the
schematic, clinical assessment of Vryonis: [11]
The conquest, or should I say the conquests of Asia Minor were in operation over
a period of four centuries. Thus the Christian societies of Asia Minor were
submitted to extensive periods of intense warfare, incursions, and destructions
which undermined the existence of the Christian church. In the first century of
Turkish conquests and invasions from the mid-eleventh to the late twelfth
century, the sources reveal that some 63 towns and villages were destroyed. The
inhabitants of other towns and villages were enslaved and taken off to the
Muslim slave markets.
Vacalopoulos describes the conquests in more animated detail: [12]
At the beginning of the eleventh century, the Seljuk Turks forced their way into
Armenia and there crushed the armies of several petty Armenian states. No fewer
than forty thousand souls fled before the organised pillage of the Seljuk host
to the western part of Asia Minor…From the middle of the eleventh century, and
especially after the battle of Malazgirt [Manzikurt] (1071), the Seljuks spread
throughout the whole Asia Minor peninsula, leaving terror, panic and destruction
in their wake. Byzantine, Turkish and other contemporary sources are unanimous
in their agreement on the extent of havoc wrought and the protracted anguish of
the local population…evidence as we have proves that the Hellenic population of
Asia Minor, whose very vigor had so long sustained the Empire and might indeed
be said to have constituted its greatest strength, succumbed so rapidly to
Turkish pressure that by the fourteenth century, it was confined to a few
limited areas. By that time, Asia Minor was already being called Turkey…one
after another, bishoprics and metropolitan sees which once throbbed with
Christian vitality became vacant and ecclesiastical buildings fell into ruins.
The metropolitan see of Chalcedon, for example, disappeared in the fourteenth
century, and the sees of Laodicea, Kotyaeon (now Kutahya) and Synada in the
fifteenth…With the extermination of local populations or their precipitate
flight, entire villages, cities, and sometimes whole provinces fell into decay.
There were some fertile districts like the valley of the Maeander River, once
stocked with thousands of sheep and cattle, which were laid waste and thereafter
ceased to be in any way productive. Other districts were literally transformed
into wildernesses. Impenetrable thickets sprang up in places where once there
had been luxuriant fields and pastures. This is what happened to the district of
Sangarius, for example, which Michael VIII Palaeologus had known formerly as a
prosperous, cultivated land, but whose utter desolation he afterwards surveyed
in utmost despair…The mountainous region between Nicaea and Nicomedia, opposite
Constantinople, once clustered with castles, cities, and villages, was
depopulated. A few towns escaped total destruction- Laodicea, Iconium, Bursa
(then Prusa), and Sinope, for example- but the extent of devastation elsewhere
was such as to make a profound impression on visitors for may years to come. The
fate of Antioch provides a graphic illustration of the kind of havoc wrought by
the Turkish invaders: in 1432, only three hundred dwellings could be counted
inside its walls, and its predominantly Turkish or Arab inhabitants subsisted by
raising camels, goats, cattle, and sheep. Other cities in the south-eastern part
of Asia Minor fell into similar decay.
The Islamisation of Asia Minor was complemented by parallel and subsequent
Ottoman jihad campaigns in the Balkans [13]. As of 1326 C.E., yearly razzias by
the emirs of Asia Minor targeted southern Thrace, southern Macedonia, and the
coastal areas of southern Greece. Around 1360 C.E., the Ottomans, under Suleiman
(son of Sultan Orchan), and later Sultan Murad I (1359-1389), launched bona fide
campaigns of jihad conquest, capturing and occupying a series of cities and
towns in Byzantine and Bulgarian Thrace. Following the battle of Cernomen
(September 26, 1371), the Ottomans penetrated westward, occupying within 15
years, a large number of towns in western Bulgaria, and in Macedonia. Ottoman
invasions during this period also occurred in the Peloponnesus, central Greece,
Epirus, Thessaly, Albania, and Montenegro. By 1388 most of northeast Bulgaria
was conquered, and following the battle of Kosovo (1389), Serbia came under
Ottoman suzerainty. Vacalopoulos argues that internecine warring, as well as
social and political upheaval, prevented the Balkan populations- Greeks,
Bulgarians, Albanians, and Serbians- from uniting against the common Ottoman
enemy, thus sealing their doom. Indeed, he observes that, [14]
After the defeat of the Serbs at Cirmen (or Cernomen) near the Hebrus River in
1371, Serbia, Bulgaria, and the Byzantine Empire became tributaries of the
Ottoman Empire and were obliged to render assistance in Ottoman campaigns.
Bayezid I (1389-1402) undertook devastating campaigns in Bosnia, Hungary, and
Wallachia, in addition to turning south and again attacking central Greece and
the Peloponnesus. After a hiatus during their struggle against the Mongol
invaders, the Ottomans renewed their Balkan offensive in 1421. Successful
Ottoman campaigns were waged in the Peloponnesus, Serbia, and Hungary,
culminating with the victory at the second Battle of Kosovo (1448). With the
accession to power of Mehmed II, the Ottomans commenced their definitive
conquest of the Balkan peninsula. Constantinople was captured on May 29, 1453,
marking the end of the Byzantine Empire. By 1460, the Ottomans had completely
vanquished both Serbia and the Peloponnesus. Bosnia and Trebizond fell in 1463,
followed by Albania in 1468. With the conquest of Herzegovina in 1483, the
Ottomans became rulers of the entire Balkan peninsula.
Vacalopoulos, commenting on the initial Ottoman forays into Thrace during the
mid 14th century, and Angelov, who provides an overall assessment highlighting
the later campaigns of Murad II (1421-1451) and Mehmed II (1451-1481), elucidate
the impact of the Ottoman jihad on the vanquished Balkan populations:
From the very beginning of the Turkish onslaught [in Thrace] under Suleiman [son
of Sultan Orchan], the Turks tried to consolidate their position by the forcible
imposition of Islam. If [the Ottoman historian] Sukrullah is to be believed,
those who refused to accept the Moslem faith were slaughtered and their families
enslaved. “Where there were bells”, writes the same author [i.e., Sukrullah],
“Suleiman broke them up and cast them into fires. Where there were churches he
destroyed them or converted them into mosques. Thus, in place of bells there
were now muezzins. Wherever Christian infidels were still found, vassalage was
imposed on their rulers. At least in public they could no longer say ‘kyrie
eleison’ but rather ‘There is no God but Allah’; and where once their prayers
had been addressed to Christ, they were now to “Muhammad, the prophet of
Allah’.” [15]
…the conquest of the Balkan Peninsula accomplished by the Turks over the course
of about two centuries caused the incalculable ruin of material goods, countless
massacres, the enslavement and exile of a great part of the population – in a
word, a general and protracted decline of productivity, as was the case with
Asia Minor after it was occupied by the same invaders. This decline in
productivity is all the more striking when one recalls that in the
mid-fourteenth century, as the Ottomans were gaining a foothold on the
peninsula, the States that existed there – Byzantium, Bulgaria and Serbia – had
already reached a rather high level of economic and cultural development....The
campaigns of Mourad II (1421-1451) and especially those of his successor,
Mahomet II (1451-1481) in Serbia, Bosnia, Albania and in the Byzantine princedom
of the Peloponnesus, were of a particularly devastating character. During the
campaign that the Turks launched in Serbia in 1455-1456, Belgrade, Novo-Bardo
and other towns were to a great extent destroyed. The invasion of the Turks in
Albania during the summer of 1459 caused enormous havoc. According to the
account of it written by Kritobulos, the invaders destroyed the entire harvest
and levelled the fortified towns that they had captured. The country was
afflicted with further devastation in 1466 when the Albanians, after putting up
heroic resistance, had to withdraw into the most inaccessible regions, from
which they continued the struggle. Many cities were likewise ruined during the
course of the campaign led by Mahomet II in 1463 against Bosnia – among them
Yaytzé, the capital of the Kingdom of Bosnia…But it was the Peloponnesus that
suffered most from the Turkish invasions. It was invaded in 1446 by the armies
of Murad II, which destroyed a great number of places and took thousands of
prisoners. Twelve years later, during the summer of 1458, the Balkan Peninsula
was invaded by an enormous Turkish army under the command of Mahomet II and his
first lieutenant Mahmoud Pasha. After a siege that lasted four months, Corinth
fell into enemy hands. Its walls were razed, and many places that the sultan
considered useless were destroyed. The work by Kritobulos contains an account of
the Ottoman campaigns, which clearly shows us the vast destruction caused by the
invaders in these regions. Two years later another Turkish army burst into the
Peloponnesus. This time Gardiki and several other places were ruined. Finally,
in 1464, for the third time, the destructive rage of the invaders was aimed at
the Peloponnesus. That was when the Ottomans battled the Venetians and levelled
the city of Argos to its foundations. [16]
Ottoman Dhimmitude
In examining how the non-Muslim populations vanquished by the Ottoman jihad
campaigns fared, it is useful to begin with the Jews, the least numerous
population, who are also generally believed to have had quite a positive
experience. Joseph Hacker studied the fate of Jews during their initial
absorption into the Ottoman Empire in the 15th and 16th centuries. His research
questions the uncritical view that from its outset the, “..Jewish experience” in
the Ottoman Empire “..was a calm, peaceful, and fruitful one..”.Hacker notes:
[17]
…It would seem to me that this accepted view of consistently good relations
between the Ottomans and the Jews during the 15th century should be modified in
light of new research and manuscript resources.
The Jews, like other inhabitants of the Byzantine Empire, suffered heavily from
the Ottoman jihad conquests and policies of colonisation and population transfer
(i.e., the surgun system). This explains the disappearance of several Jewish
communities, including Salonica, and their founding anew by Spanish Jewish
immigrants. Hacker observes, specifically: [18]
…We possess letters written about the fate of Jews who underwent one or another
of the Ottoman conquests. In one of the letters which was written before 1470,
there is a description of the fate of such a Jew and his community, according to
which description, written in Rhodes and sent to Crete, the fate of the Jews was
not different from that of Christians. Many were killed; others were taken
captive, and children were [enslaved, forcibly converted to Islam, and] brought
to devshirme...Some letters describe the carrying of the captive Jews to
Istanbul and are filled with anti-Ottoman sentiments. Moreover, we have a
description of the fate of a Jewish doctor and homilist from Veroia (Kara-Ferya)
who fled to Negroponte when his community was driven into exile in 1455. He
furnished us with a description of the exiles and their forced passage to
Istanbul. Later on we find him at Istanbul itself, and in a homily delivered
there in 1468 he expressed his anti-Ottoman feelings openly. We also have some
evidence that the Jews of Constantinople suffered from the conquest of the city
and that several were sold into slavery.
Three summary conclusions are drawn by Hacker: (i) Strong anti-Ottoman feelings
prevailed in some Byzantine Jewish circles in the first decades after the fall
of Constantinople. These feelings were openly expressed by people living under
Latin rule and to some extent even in Istanbul.; (ii) Mehmed II's policies
toward non-Muslims made possible the substantial economic and social development
of the Jewish communities in the empire, and especially in the capital -
Istanbul. These communities were protected by him against popular hatred, and
especially from blood libels. However, this policy was not continued by Bayezid
II and there is evidence that under his rule the Jews suffered severe
restrictions in their religious life.; (iii) The friendly policies of Mehmed on
the one hand, and the good reception by Bayezid II of Spanish Jewry on the
other, cause the Jewish writers of the sixteenth century to overlook both the
destruction which Byzantine Jewry suffered during the Ottoman conquests and the
later outbursts of oppression under both Bayezid II and Selim I.
Ivo Andric analysed [19] the “rayah” (meaning “herd”, and “to graze a herd”) or
dhimmi condition imposed upon the indigenous Christian population of Bosnia, for
four centuries. Those native Christian inhabitants who refused to apostatise to
Islam lived under the Ottoman Kanun-i-Rayah, which merely reiterated [20] the
essential regulations of dhimmitude originally formulated by Muslim jurists and
theologians in the 7th and 8th centuries C.E. Andric’s presentation musters,
[21]
…a wealth of irrefutable evidence that the main points of the Kanun, just those
that cut the deepest into the moral and economic life of Christians, remained in
full force right up to the end of Turkish rule and as long as the Turks had the
power to apply them…[thus] it was inevitable that the rayah decline to a status
that was economically inferior and dependent.
Andric cites a Bosnian Muslim proverb, and a song honouring Sultan Bayezid II,
whose shared perspectives reflect Muslim attitudes toward the Christian rayahs:
[22]
[proverb] “The rayah is like the grass,/Mow it as much as you will, still it
springs up anew”
[song] “Once you’d broken Bosnia’s horns/You mowed down what would not be
pruned/Leaving only the riffraff behind/So there’d be someone left to serve us
and grieve before the cross”
These prevailing discriminatory conditions were exacerbated by Bosnia’s serving
as either a battlefield or staging ground during two centuries of Ottoman
razzias and formal jihad campaigns against Hungary. Overcome by excessive
taxation and conscript labour:
Christians therefore began to abandon their houses and plots of land situated in
level country and along the roads and to retreat back into the mountains. And as
they did so, moving ever higher into inaccessible regions, Muslims took over
their former sites. [23]
Moreover, those Christians living in towns suffered from the rayah system’s
mandated impediments to commercial advancement by non-Muslims: [24]
Islam from the very outset, excluded such activities as making wine, breeding
pigs, and selling pork products from commercial production and trade. But
additionally Bosnian Christians were forbidden to be saddlers, tanners, or
candle makers or to trade in honey, butter, and certain other items.
Countrywide, the only legal market day was Sunday. Christians were thus
deliberately faced with the choice between ignoring the precepts of their
religion, keeping their shops open and working on Sundays, or alternatively,
forgoing participation in the market and suffering material loss thereby. Even
in 1850, in Jukic’s “Wishes and Entreaties” we find him beseeching “his Imperial
grace” to put an end to the regulation that Sunday be market day.
Christians were also forced to pay disproportionately higher taxes than Muslims,
including the intentionally degrading non-Muslim poll-tax.
This tax was paid by every non-Muslim male who had passed his fourteenth year,
at the rate of a ducat per annum. But since Turkey had never known birth
registers, the functionary whose job it was to exact the tax measured the head
and neck of each boy with a piece of string and judged from that whether a
person had arrived at a taxable age or not. Starting as an abuse that soon
turned into an ingrained habit, then finally established custom, by the last
century of Turkish rule every boy without distinction found himself summoned to
pay the head tax. And it would seem this was not the only abuse…Of Ali-Pasa
Stocevic, who during the first half of the nineteenth century was vizier and all
but unlimited ruler of Herzegovina, his contemporary, the monk Prokopije
Cokorilo, wrote that he “taxed the dead for six years after their demise” and
that his tax collectors “ran their fingers over the bellies of pregnant women,
saying ‘you will probably have a boy, so you have to pay the poll tax right
away…The following folk saying from Bosnia reveals how taxes were exacted: “He’s
as fat as if he’d been tax collecting in Bosnia” [25]
The specific Kanun-i-Rayah
stipulations which prohibited the rayahs from riding a saddled horse, carrying a
saber or any other weapon in or out of doors, selling wine, letting their hair
grow, or wearing wide sashes, were strictly enforced until the mid-19th century.
Hussamudin-Pasa, in 1794 issued an ordinance which prescribed the exact colour
and type of clothing the Bosnian rayah had to wear. Barbers were prohibited from
shaving Muslims with the same razors used for Christians. Even in bathhouses,
Christians were required to have specifically marked towels and aprons to avoid
confusing their laundry with laundry designated for Muslims. Until at least
1850, and in some parts of Bosnia, well into the 1860s, a Christian upon
encountering a Muslim, was required to jump down from his (unsaddled) horse,
move to the side of the road, and wait for the latter to pass. [26]
Christianity’s loud and most arresting symbol, church bells, Andric notes [27],
always drew close, disapproving Turkish scrutiny, and, “Wherever there invasions
would go, down came the bells, to be destroyed or melted into cannon”.
Predictably:
Until the second half of the nineteenth century, “nobody in Bosnia could even
think of bells or bell towers.” Only in 1860 did the Sarajevo priest Fra Grgo
Martic manage to get permission from Topal Osman-Pasa to hang a bell at the
church in Kresevo. Permission was granted, thought, only on condition that “at
first the bell be rung softly to let the Turks get accustomed to it little by
little”. And still the Muslim of Kresevo were complaining, even in 1875, to
Sarajevo that “the Turkish ear and ringing bells cannot coexist in the same
place at the same time”; and Muslim women would beat on their copper pots to
drown out the noise…on 30 April 1872, the new Serbian Orthodox church also got a
bell. But since the…Muslims had threatened to riot, the military had to be
called in to ensure that the ceremony might proceed undisturbed. [28]
The imposition of such disabilities, Andric observes, [29] extended beyond
church ceremonies, as reflected by a 1794 proclamation of the Serbian Orthodox
church in Sarajevo warning Christians not to:
…sing during …outings, nor in their houses, nor in other places. The saying
“Don’t sing too loud, this village is Turk” testifies eloquently to the fact
that this item of the Kanun [- i-Rayah] was applied outside church life as well
as within.
Andric concludes, [30]:
…for their Christian subjects, their [Ottoman Turkish] hegemony brutalised
custom and meant a step to the rear in every respect.
Finally, Jovan Cvijic, the Serbian sociologist and geographer, observed,
There are regions where the [Serb] Christian population…lived under the regime
of fear, from birth to death.
Despite the liberation of the Balkans in 1912, Cvijic further noted that the
Serbs were not fully cognizant of their new status, and this fear could still be
read, remaining etched on their faces. [31]
Paul Ricaut, the British consul in Smyrna, journeyed extensively within the
Ottoman Empire during the mid-17th century, becoming a keen observer of its
socio-political milieu. In 1679 (i.e., prior to the Ottomans being repulsed at
Vienna in September, 1683; see later discussion of Ottoman “tolerance”), Ricaut
published these important findings [32]: (i) many Christians were expelled from
their churches, which the Ottoman Turks converted into mosques; (ii) the
“Mysteries of the Altar” were hidden in subterranean vaults and sepulchers whose
roofs were barely above the surface of the ground; (iii) fearing Turkish
hostility and oppression, Christian priests, particularly in eastern Asia Minor,
were compelled to live with great caution and officiate in private obscurity;
(iv) not surprisingly, to escape these prevailing conditions, many Christians
apostatised to Islam. Moreover, as Vryonis demonstrated convincingly for the
earlier period between the 11th and 15th centuries [33], the existence of
cryto-Christianity and neo-martyrs were not uncommon phenomena in the Christian
territories of Asia Minor conquered by the waves of Seljuk and Ottoman jihad. He
cites, for example, a pastoral letter from 1338 addressed to the residents of
Nicaea indicating widespread, forcible conversion by the Turks: [34]
And they [Turks] having captured and enslaved many of our own and violently
forced them and dragging them along alas! So that they took up their evil and
godlessness.
The phenomenon of forcible conversion, including coercive en masse conversions,
persisted throughout the 16th century, as discussed by Constantelos in his
analysis of neo-martyrdom in the Ottoman Empire: [35]
…mass forced conversions were recorded during the caliphates of Selim I
(1512-1520), Selim II (1566-1574), and Murat III (1574-1595). On the occasion of
some anniversary, such as the capture of a city, or a national holiday, many
rayahs were forced to apostatise. On the day of the circumcision of Mohammed III
great numbers of Christians (Albanians, Greeks, Slavs) were forced to convert to
Islam.
Reviewing the martyrology of Christians victimised by the Ottomans from the
conquest of Constantinople (1453), through the final phases of the Greek War of
Independence (1828), Constantelos indicates: [36]
…the Ottoman Turks condemned to death eleven Ecumenical Patriarchs of
Constantinople, nearly one hundred bishops, and several thousand priests,
deacons, and minks. It is impossible to say with certainty how many men of the
cloth were forced to apostatise.
However, the more mundane cases illustrated by Constantelos are of equal
significance in revealing the plight of Christians under Ottoman rule, through
at least 1867: [37]
Some were accused of insulting the Muslim faith or of throwing something against
the wall of a mosque. Others were accused of sexual advances toward a Turk;
still others of making a public confession such as “I will become a Turk”
without meaning it.
Constantelos concludes: [38]
The story of the neo-martyrs indicates that there was no liberty of conscience
in the Ottoman Empire and that religious persecution was never absent from the
state. Justice was subject to the passions of judges as well as of the crowds,
and it was applied with a double standard, lenient for Muslims and harsh for
Christians and others. The view that the Ottoman Turks pursued a policy of
religious toleration in order to promote a fusion of the Turks with the
conquered populations is not sustained by the facts.
Even the Turcophilic 19th century travel writer Ubicini acknowledged the
oppressive burden of Ottoman dhimmitude in this moving depiction: [39]
The history of enslaved peoples is the same everywhere, or rather, they have no
history. The years, the centuries pass without bringing any change to their
situation. Generations come and go in silence. One might think they are afraid
to awaken their masters, asleep alongside them. However, if you examine them
closely you discover that this immobility is only superficial. A silent and
constant agitation grips them. Life has entirely withdrawn into the heart. They
resemble those rivers which have disappeared underground; if you put your ear to
the earth, you can hear the muffled sound of their waters; then they re-emerge
intact a few leagues away. Such is the state of the Christian populations of
Turkey under Ottoman rule.
Vacalopoulos describes how jihad imposed dhimmitude under Ottoman rule provided
critical motivation for the Greek Revolution: [40]
The Revolution of 1821 is no more than the last great phase of the resistance of
the Greeks to Ottoman domination; it was a relentless, undeclared war, which had
begun already in the first years of servitude. The brutality of an autocratic
regime, which was characterised by economic spoliation, intellectual decay and
cultural retrogression, was sure to provoke opposition. Restrictions of all
kinds, unlawful taxation, forced labour, persecutions, violence, imprisonment,
death, abductions of girls and boys and their confinement to Turkish harems, and
various deeds of wantonness and lust, along with numerous less offensive
excesses – all these were a constant challenge to the instinct of survival and
they defied every sense of human decency. The Greeks bitterly resented all
insults and humiliations, and their anguish and frustration pushed them into the
arms of rebellion. There was no exaggeration in the statement made by one of the
beys if Arta, when he sought to explain the ferocity of the struggle. He said:
‘We have wronged the rayas [dhimmis] (i.e. our Christian subjects) and destroyed
both their wealth and honour; they became desperate and took up arms. This is
just the beginning and will finally lead to the destruction of our empire.’ The
sufferings of the Greeks under Ottoman rule were therefore the basic cause of
the insurrection; a psychological incentive was provided by the very nature of
the circumstances.
The Devshirme and Harem Slavery
Those scholars [41] who continue to adhere to the roseate narrative of Ottoman
“tolerance”, the notion that an “…easy-going tolerance, resting on an assumption
not only of superior religion, but also of superior power”, which it is claimed,
persisted in the Ottoman Empire until the end of the 17th century [42], must
address certain basic questions. Why has the quite brutal Ottoman
devshirme-janissary system, which, from the mid to late 14th, through early 18th
centuries, enslaved and forcibly converted to Islam an estimated 500,000 to one
million [43] non-Muslim (primarily Balkan Christian) adolescent males, been
characterised, reductio ad absurdum, as a benign form of social advancement,
jealously pined for by “ineligible” Ottoman Muslim families? For example:
The role played by the Balkan Christian boys recruited into the Ottoman service
through the devshirme is well known. Great numbers of them entered the Ottoman
military and bureaucratic apparatus, which for a while came to be dominated by
these new recruits to the Ottoman state and the Muslim faith. This ascendancy of
Balkan Europeans into the Ottoman power structure did not pass unnoticed, and
there are many complaints from other elements, sometimes from the Caucasian
slaves who were their main competitors, and more vocally from the old and free
Muslims, who felt slighted by the preference given to the newly converted
slaves. [44]
Scholars, who have conducted serious, detailed studies of the
devshirme-janissary system, do not share such hagiographic views of this Ottoman
institution. Speros Vryonis, Jr. for example, makes these deliberately
understated, but cogent observations, [45]
…in discussing the devshirme we are dealing with the large numbers of Christians
who, in spite of the material advantages offered by conversion to Islam, chose
to remain members of a religious society which was denied first class
citizenship. Therefore the proposition advanced by some historians, that the
Christians welcomed the devshirme as it opened up wonderful opportunities for
their children, is inconsistent with the fact that these Christians had not
chosen to become Muslims in the first instance but had remained Christians…there
is abundant testimony to the very active dislike with which they viewed the
taking of their children. One would expect such sentiments given the strong
nature of the family bond and given also the strong attachment to Christianity
of those who had not apostatised to Islam…First of all the Ottomans capitalised
on the general Christian fear of losing their children and used offers of
devshirme exemption in negotiations for surrender of Christian lands. Such
exemptions were included in the surrender terms granted to Jannina, Galata, the
Morea, Chios, etc…Christians who engaged in specialised activities which were
important to the Ottoman state were likewise exempt from the tax on their
children by way of recognition of the importance of their labours for the
empire…Exemption from this tribute was considered a privilege and not a penalty…
…there are other documents wherein their [i.e., the Christians] dislike is much
more explicitly apparent. These include a series of Ottoman documents dealing
with the specific situations wherein the devshirmes themselves have escaped from
the officials responsible for collecting them…A firman…in 1601 [regarding the
devshirme] provided the [Ottoman] officials with stern measures of enforcement,
a fact which would seem to suggest that parents were not always disposed to part
with their sons.
“..to enforce the command of the known and holy fetva [fatwa] of Seyhul
[Shaikh]- Islam. In accordance with this whenever some one of the infidel
parents or some other should oppose the giving up of his son for the
Janissaries, he is immediately hanged from his door-sill, his blood being deemed
unworthy.”
Vasiliki Papoulia highlights the continuous desperate, often violent struggle of
the Christian populations against this forcefully imposed Ottoman levy: [46]
It is obvious that the population strongly resented…this measure [and the levy]
could be carried out only by force. Those who refused to surrender their sons-
the healthiest, the handsomest and the most intelligent- were on the spot put to
death by hanging. Nevertheless we have examples of armed resistance. In 1565 a
revolt took place in Epirus and Albania. The inhabitants killed the recruiting
officers and the revolt was put down only after the sultan sent five hundred
janissaries in support of the local sanjak-bey. We are better informed, thanks
to the historic archives of Yerroia, about the uprising in Naousa in 1705 where
the inhabitants killed the Silahdar Ahmed Celebi and his assistants and fled to
the mountains as rebels. Some of them were later arrested and put to death..
Since there was no possibility of escaping [the levy] the population resorted to
several subterfuges. Some left their villages and fled to certain cities which
enjoyed exemption from the child levy or migrated to Venetian-held territories.
The result was a depopulation of the countryside. Others had their children
marry at an early age…Nicephorus Angelus…states that at times the children ran
away on their own initiative, but when they heard that the authorities had
arrested their parents and were torturing them to death, returned and gave
themselves up. La Giulletiere cites the case of a young Athenian who returned
from hiding in order to save his father’s life and then chose to die himself
rather than abjure his faith. According to the evidence in Turkish sources, some
parents even succeeded in abducting their children after they had been
recruited. The most successful way of escaping recruitment was through bribery.
That the latter was very widespread is evident from the large amounts of money
confiscated by the sultan from corrupt…officials. Finally, in their desperation
the parents even appealed to the Pope and the Western powers for help.
Papoulia concludes: [47]
…there is no doubt that this heavy burden was one of the hardest tribulations of
the Christian population.
Why was there never a significant “Shari’a-inspired” slavery abolition movement
within the Ottoman states, comparable to the courageous and successful campaigns
lead by Western Christian statesmen (such as the Evangelical Parliamentarian,
William Wilberforce [48] ) in Europe and America, throughout the 19th century?
Deliberately limited and ineffectual firmans issued by the Ottoman Porte failed
to discourage East African slave trading [49], and even British naval power, so
successful in the Atlantic and Indian oceans [50], was unable to suppress the
Red Sea slave trade to the Ottoman Empire at the end of the 19th century. [51]
Regardless, as Reuben Levy notes: [52]
At Constantinople, the sale of women slaves, both negresses and Circassians
[likely for harem slavery and/or concubinage], continued to be openly practiced
until…1908.
Turkey: From Failed Reforms to a Modern Jihad Genocide
Why did the Tanzimat reforms, designed to abrogate the Ottoman version of the
system of dhimmitude, need to be imposed by European powers through treaties, as
so—called 'capitulations' following Ottoman military defeats, and why even then,
were these reforms never implemented in any meaningful way from 1839, until the
collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I
Edouard Engelhardt [53] made these observations from his detailed analysis of
the Tanzimat period, noting that a quarter century after the Crimean War
(1853—56), and the second iteration of Tanzimat reforms, the same problems
persisted:
Muslim society has not yet broken with the prejudices which make the conquered
peoples subordinate...the raya [dhimmis] remain inferior to the Osmanlis; in
fact he is not rehabilitated; the fanaticism of the early days has not
relented...[even liberal Muslims rejected]...civil and political equality, that
is to say, the assimilation of the conquered with the conquerors.
A systematic examination of the condition of the Christian rayas was conducted
in the 1860s by British consuls stationed throughout the Ottoman Empire,
yielding extensive primary source documentary evidence. [54]. Britain was then
Turkey's most powerful ally, and it was in her strategic interest to see that
oppression of the Christians was eliminated, to prevent direct, aggressive
Russian or Austrian intervention. On July 22, 1860, Consul James Zohrab
sent a lengthy report from Sarajevo to his ambassador in Constantinople, Sir
Henry Bulwer, analysing the administration of the provinces of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, again, following the 1856 Tanzimat reforms. Referring to the reform
efforts, Zohrab states: [55]
The Hatti—humayoun, I can safely say, practically remains a dead letter...while
[this] does not extend to permitting the Christians to be treated as they
formerly were treated, is so far unbearable and unjust in that it permits the
Mussulmans to despoil them with heavy exactions. False imprisonments
(imprisonment under false accusation) are of daily occurrence. A Christian
has but a small chance of exculpating himself when his opponent is a Mussulman
(...) Christian evidence, as a rule, is still refused (...) Christians are now
permitted to possess real property, but the obstacles which they meet with when
they attempt to acquire it are so many and vexatious that very few have as yet
dared to brave them...Such being, generally speaking, the course pursued by the
Government towards the Christians in the capital (Sarajevo) of the province
where the Consular Agents of the different Powers reside and can exercise some
degree of control, it may easily be guessed to what extend the Christians, in
the remoter districts, suffer who are governed by Mudirs (governors) generally
fanatical and unacquainted with the (new reforms of the) law..
In his comprehensive study of 19th century Palestinian Jewry under Ottoman rule
Tudor Parfitt made these germane observations: [56]
Inside the towns, Jews and other dhimmis were frequently attacked, wounded, and
even killed by local Muslims and Turkish soldiers. Such attacks were frequently
for trivial reasons: Wilson [in British Foreign Office correspondence] recalled
having met a Jew who had been badly wounded by a Turkish soldier for not having
instantly dismounted when ordered to give up his donkey to a soldier of the
Sultan. Many Jews were killed for less. On occasion the authorities attempted to
get some form of redress but this was by no means always the case: the Turkish
authorities themselves were sometimes responsible for beating Jews to death for
some unproven charge. After one such occasion [British Consul] Young remarked:
'I must say I am sorry and surprised that the Governor could have acted so
savage a part— for certainly what I have seen of him I should have thought him
superior to such wanton inhumanity— but it was a Jew— without friends or
protection— it serves to show well that it is not without reason that the poor
Jew, even in the nineteenth century, lives from day to day in terror of his
life'.
...In fact, it took some time [i.e., at least a decade after the 1839 reforms]
before these courts did accept dhimmi testimony in Palestine. The fact that Jews
were represented on the meclis [provincial legal council] did not contribute a
great deal to the amelioration of the legal position of the Jews: the Jewish
representatives were tolerated grudgingly and were humiliated and intimidated to
the point that they were afraid to offer any opposition to the Muslim
representatives. In addition the constitution of the meclis was in no sense
fairly representative of the population. In Jerusalem in the 1870s the meclis
consisted of four Muslims, three Christians and only one Jew— at a time when
Jews constituted over half the population of the city...Some years after the
promulgation of the hatt—i—serif [Tanzimat reform edicts] Binyamin [in an
eyewitness account from Eight Years in Asia and Africa from 1846 to 1855, p.44]
was still able to write of the Jews— 'they are entirely destitute of every legal
protection'...Perhaps even more to the point, the courts were biased against the
Jews and even when a case was heard in a properly assembled court where dhimmi
testimony was admissible the court would still almost invariably rule against
the Jews. It should be noted that a non—dhimmi [eg., foreign] Jew was still not
permitted to appear and witness in either the mahkama [specific Muslim council]
or the meclis.
The modern Ottomanist Roderick Davison acknowledges that the reforms failed, and
offers an explanation based on Islamic beliefs intrinsic to the system of
dhimmitude: [57]
No genuine equality was ever attained...there remained among the Turks an
intense Muslim feeling which could sometimes burst into an open
fanaticism...More important than the possibility of fanatic outbursts, however,
was the innate attitude of superiority which the Muslim Turk possessed. Islam
was for him the true religion. Christianity was only a partial revelation of the
truth, which Muhammad finally revealed in full; therefore Christians were not
equal to Muslims in possession of truth. Islam was not only a way of worship, it
was a way of life as well. It prescribed man's relations to man, as well as to
God, and was the basis for society, for law, and for government. Christians were
therefore inevitably considered second—class citizens in the light of religious
revelation—as well as by reason of the plain fact that they had been conquered
by the Ottomans. This whole Muslim outlook was often summed up in the common
term gavur (or kafir), which means 'unbeliever' or 'infidel', with emotional and
quite uncomplimentary overtones. To associate closely or on terms of equality
with the gavur was dubious at best. 'Familiar association with heathens and
infidels is forbidden to the people of Islam,' said Asim, an early
nineteenth—century historian, 'and friendly and intimate intercourse between two
parties that are one to another as darkness and light is far from
desirable'...The mere idea of equality, especially the anti—defamation clause of
1856, offended the Turks' inherent sense of the rightness of things. 'Now we
can't call a gavur a gavur', it was said, sometimes bitterly, sometimes in
matter—of—fact explanation that under the new dispensation the plain truth could
no longer be spoken openly. Could reforms be acceptable which forbade calling a
spade a spade?...The Turkish mind, conditioned by centuries of Muslim and
Ottoman dominance, was not yet ready to accept any absolute equality...Ottoman
equality was not attained in the Tanzimat period [i.e., mid to late 19th
century, 1839—1876], nor yet after the Young Turk revolution of 1908...
Indeed, an influential member of the Ottoman Committee of Union and Progress,
Sheik Abd—ul—Hack, a 'progressive' Young Turk, made this revealing declaration
writing in a Parisian Muslim review, (Le Mecherouttiete, edited by Sherif Pasha,
Paris), in August, 1912: [58]
Yes! The Musulman religion is in open hostility to all your world of progress.
Understand, you European observers, that a Christian, whatever his position may
be, by the mere fact of his being a Christian is regarded by us as a blind man
lost to all sense of human dignity. Our reasoning with regard to him is as
simple as it is definitive. We say: the man whose judgment is so
perverted as to deny the existence of a one and only God, and to make up gods of
different sorts, can only be the meanest expression of human degradation; to
speak to him would be a humiliation for our intelligence and an insult to the
grandeur of the Master of the Universe. The presence of such miscreants
among us is the bane of our existence; their doctrine is a direct insult to the
purity of our faith; contact with them is a defilement of our bodies; any
relation with them a torture to our souls. Though detesting you, we have
condescended to study your political institutions and your military
organisation. Over and above the new weapons that Providence procures for
us through your agency, you have yourselves rekindled the inextinguishable faith
of our heroic martyrs. Our Young Turks, our Babis, our new Brotherhoods,
all our sects, under various forms, are inspired by the same idea; the same
necessity of moving forward. Towards what end? Christian civilisation? Never!
Islam is the one great international family. All true believers are
brothers. A community of feeling and of faith binds them in mutual
affection. It is for the Caliph to facilitate these relations and to rally
the Faithful under the sacerdotal standard.
Throughout the Ottoman Empire, particularly within the Balkans, and later
Anatolia itself, attempted emancipation of the dhimmi peoples provoked violent,
bloody responses against those 'infidels' daring to claim equality with local
Muslims. The massacres of the Bulgarians (in 1876) [59], and more extensive
massacres of the Armenians (1894—96) [60], culminating in a frank jihad genocide
against the Armenians during World War I [61], epitomise these trends. Enforced
abrogation of the laws of dhimmitude required the dismantling of the Ottoman
Empire. This finally occurred after the Balkan Wars of independence, and during
the European Mandate period following World War I.
Conclusion
Erdogan's efforts to further re—Islamise Turkey are entirely consistent with a
return to Turkey's Ottoman past as the heartland of an Empire established by
jihad, and governed by the Shari'a. Indeed, both the current Erdogan
administration, and the regime headed by the overtly pious Muslim Erbakan, a
decade ago, reflect the advanced state of Islam's "socio-political reawakening"
in Turkey since 1950—1960, when the Menderes government - pandering to
Muslim religious sentiments for electoral support re-established the dervish
orders, and undertook an extensive campaign of mosque construction [62]. Despite
Frank Gaffney's apparent failure to understand this continuum of related
historical phenomena, I share his acute concerns. And ultimately, we agree that
Turkey's bid to join the EU should be rejected.

writing a Ghazawat-name, a book about the holy war of the Ghazis. He poses the
question” “Why have the Ghazis appeared at last?” And he answers: “Because the
best always comes at the end. Just as the definitive prophet Mohammed came after
the others, just as the Koran came down from heaven after the Torah, the Psalms
and the Gospels, so also the Ghazis appeared in the world at the last, “ those
Ghazis the reign of whom is that of the Ottomans. The poet continues with this
question: “Who is a Ghazi?”. And he explains: “A Ghazi is the instrument of the
religion of Allah, a servant of God who purifies the earth from the filth of
polytheism (remember that Islam regards the Trinity of the Christians as a
polytheism); the Ghazi is the sword of God, he is the protector and refuge of
the believers. If he becomes a martyr in the ways of God, do not believe that he
has died- he lives in beatitude with Allah, he has eternal life”.

Lebanon, a fake state, a fake democracy which we pretend exists while in fact it
is a Jihadist battleground, administered by terrorised dhimmi notables in the
service of their Muslim masters. Only around 25% are now Christian, down from
79% in 1911. How did it come to this? And more importantly, how could France,
the rest of the EU and the United States let Christian Lebanon fall?
Preface
Christians in the Middle East are fast disappearing from the area. The Lebanese
Christians, who constitute the only influential Christian community in the
Middle East, are fast declining in numbers and power.
This paper discusses the history of the Christian minority in Lebanon, and the
decline of their hold on political power, in favour of the Muslim majority. It
will focus on the Christian contribution to the cause of the civil war and the
Ta'if accord which brought an end to that war. The paper will be divided into
eight chapters. The paper will start by giving a brief overview of the special
influential Christian position in the 19th century and its survival during the
1860 civil war with the Muslim Druzes. Then it will discuss the role of
Christians in the formation of the Lebanese Republic and Lebanese independence.
Christian nationalism is looked at in depth, in order to discover the roots of
the civil war with the Muslims. Moreover, it was the existence of many different
ideological Christian parties that incited the civil war.
This paper will concentrate on the role of Christians in the civil war of
1975-1990. The main focus will also be on the causes of the decay of Christian
status in Lebanon. In 1990, the civil war 'is said to have' ended* following the
Christian Army's General Michel Aoun defeated by the Syrian military. The paper
will show how at the end of the civil war, Christians were perceived as losers
and Muslims as winners of the civil war. It will demonstrate that the role of
the Lebanese Christians has became negligible and it is a matter of time when
the Christians will surrender their remaining powers to their Muslims
counterparts.
*The claim that there was an end to the civil war is vigorously rejected by many
because 60,000 Syrian soldier and their secret service continue to occupy
Lebanon together with 5,000 Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and thousands of
Palestinian from Fatah, Popular Front "Jabha el Sha’beyyeh" and other terrorists
organisations operate and have a freehand in Lebanon.
Chapter 1: Christian Status prior to 1945
The birth of Christianity in Lebanon and the advent of Islam
Despite the fact that Islam prevailed 600 years after Christianity, the Middle
East is now overwhelmingly populated with Muslims, with the Christian minority
comprising about 14 million Christians or 10% of the population.
The Christians, mainly Maronite, have existed in the area, of what is known
today as Lebanon since the fourth century, and moved in large numbers to Mount
Lebanon(Jabal Loubnan) in the eighth and ninth centuries. The Maronites[44] took
their name from John Maron, a learned monk who was Patriach of Antioch in the
8th century. The Muslim (Shiite, Sunni and the Druze sects) community emerged in
Mount Lebanon at a later stage.
Marguerite Johnson traces the heritage of the Lebanese Christians directly to
Jesus. By the 5th century, Christianity became the dominant religion in the area
of Lebanon. After the forceful advent of Islam beginning in the 7th Century,
many Christian communities along the coast of Lebanon converted to Islam.
However, the mountains of Lebanon remained a Christian haven.
Peter Kolvenbach saw that the history of Lebanon's Christians and the history of
Lebanon were so intertwined that without the Christians, and especially its
Maronite sect, there would not have been a Lebanon and without Lebanon the
destiny of Christians in the Middle East would have been different.
The 1860 civil war between the Maronites and the Druze[45] erupted when Maronite
peasants revolted against their landlords who were given land ownership by the
Ottoman Empire. The Druze launched a pre-emptive strike against villages in the
north with the help of Turkish officials. Engine Akarli mentioned that few
Shiites and Sunnites, joined the Druze against the Maronites and the Greek
Orthodox Christians (even though the Greek Orthodox had been friendly with the
Druze before this incident). Akarli said that the Ottoman troops themselves
failed to stop the Druze attacks due to their unwillingness to fight fellow
Muslims.
The 1860 civil war left more than 15,000 Christians dead and more than ten
thousand homeless. Later, however, the Ottoman foreign ministry imprisoned the
Druze leaders involved in the war, and even punished a number of Ottoman
officers and officials for having failed to prevent the 1860 civil war.
This was the first Lebanese civil war between Christians and Muslims. It is
important to note that the Maronites had been subject to persecution by the
Turkish rulers over centuries. However, the 1860 war was the first of its kind
between the Lebanese people themselves.
It is hard to ignore the role of the Maronite Church in Lebanon in any study of
the Christian political status in Lebanon. The role of the Maronite Church in
Lebanon focused on strengthening the status of Christians during the Ottoman
rule. Following the purge of the Druze leadership by the Turkish authorities,
the Maronite Church emerged as the only significant institution in the Lebanese
Mountains. The Church's special position encouraged it to aspire to greater
influence. It was very conscious not only of the overwhelming numerical
superiority of the Christians over the Druze in the Mountains, but also of the
greater educational and material advances of the Maronites.
The 1860 events had created uproar in Europe, particularly in France. Although
the Turkish Empire took swift action against the Druze, a large French force
landed in Beirut for the purpose of protecting the Maronites and other
Christians. Foreign intervention by the French persuaded the Ottoman Empire to
form a small force in Mount Lebanon, which comprised of 160 men, 97 Maronites,
40 Druzes, 16 Greek Orthodox, 5 Greeks Catholics and 2 Muslims. Later on, Mount
Lebanon was able to mount a military force of 10,000 men where Arabic replaced
Turkish as the language of command and instruction. This development helped to
strengthen the Christians who were the main core of the force. Moreover
Christians were happy to be given a sort of autonomy by the Muslim Turkish
Empire.
John Spagnolo wrote that in this particular period of 1860, international
communities were looking after the interests of communities within Lebanon of a
similar faith. For example, Russia wanted three seats to be reserved for the
Greek Orthodox. In its turn, France wanted the Maronite representation to be
increased on the administrative council of the
mutasarrifiyya.
The protection of Christianity by the international community helped increase
its survival chances in the midst of the Muslim conquest in the Middle East
region. Marguerite Johnson noted that from the Byzantines and the Crusades in
the Middle Ages to the French and Americans in 1984, the Christians have
repeatedly relied on foreign powers to guarantee their survival and political
power.

"Phoenician Christians[46]:"
Advent of Islam and Christians of the East
By Dr. George Khoury, Catholic Information Network (CIN)
The Arab Prophet
During his lifetime, Muhammad reacted differently at different times to Jews and
Christians depending on the reception they accorded him and also on his dealings
with Christian states. At first, Muhammad favoured the Christians and condemned
the Jews because they acted as his political opponents. This is reflected in
Sura 5:85 : Thou wilt surely find the most hostile of men to the believers are
the Jews and the idolaters; and thou wilt surely find the nearest of them in
love to the believers are those who say, "We are nasara"; that, because some of
them are priests and monks, and they wax not proud. (Sura 5:85; see also Sura
2:62; 5:69; 12:17).
Later he turned against them and attacked their belief that Jesus was God's son
(Sura 9:30), denounced the dogma of the Trinity (4:17), and pointed to the
division of the Christians amongst themselves (5:14). Most often though,
Muhammad adopted an intermediate position: the Christians are mentioned together
with the Jews as "People of the Book," while their claim of possessing the true
religion is refuted. (See Sura :114; 3:135, 140; 9:29). And they will be
punished by God.
Fight those who believe not in God and the Last Day and do not forbid what God
and His Messenger have forbidden--such men as practice not the religion of
truth, being of those who have been given the Book until they pay the tribute
out of hand...That is the utterance of their mouths, conforming with the
unbelievers before God. God assail them! How they are perverted! They have taken
their rabbis and their monks as lords apart from God, and the Messiah's, Mary's
son, and they were commanded to serve but One God; there is no God but He (Suras
29-31).
During his lifetime Muhammad settled his relations with Christian political
entities by treaties whereby they were allowed to keep their churches and
priests, and also had to pay tribute and render some services to Muslims.
During the period of two hundred years following Muhammad's death, the attitude
of Islam to Christianity remained generally similar to what it had been during
the closing years of the prophet's life; Christianity was regarded as parallel
to Islam, but corrupt. To this extent, Islam was superior. The outstanding
consequence of this period, however, was the impressing on the masses of
ordinary Muslims the view that Christianity was corrupt and unreliable. This,
together with the death penalty for apostasy, kept the Muslims in lands ruled by
the scimitar effectively insulated from Christian propaganda. Let us view this
more closely, considering first the period immediately following the death of
the prophet in 633 A.D.
The Covenant of Umar I (634-644)
The year after the death of the prophet in Arabia, the stage was set for a
full-dress invasion of neighbouring lands. In 634 the Arab forces won a decisive
victory at Ajnadayn, and Damascus surrendered to Khalid ibn-al-Waleed in
September 635. Jerusalem capitulated in 638 and Caesarea fell in 640, and
between 639 and 646 all Mesopotamia and Egypt were subjugated. The last links
connecting these Christian lands with Rome and Byzantium were severed; new ones
with Mecca and Medina were forged. In about a decade the Muslim conquests
changed the face of the Near East; in about a century they changed the face of
the civilised world. Far from being peripheral, the victories of Islam proved to
be a decisive factor in pruning life and growth of Eastern Christianity.
After the Arab invasions have stopped, there arose the problem of administering
these new lands. Umar ibn-al-Khattab (634-644) was the first man to address
himself to this problem. Despite the fact that later additions were made to it,
it is agreed that the surviving covenant represents Umar's own policy. The
conquered peoples were given a new status, that of dhimmis (or ahl-al-Dhimmi).
As dhimmis they were subject to tribute which comprised both a land-tax (later
kharaj) and a poll-tax (later jizyah) while they enjoyed the protection of Islam
and were exempt from military duty, because only a Muslim could draw his sword
in defence of Islam.
How Greek Science Passed to the Arabs
The Christian community, educated and civilised in the multicultural Byzantine
east, was the catalyst that brought modern education and learning to the
invading Arab tribes. By translating the works of the Greeks and other early
thinkers and by their own contribution, the Christian community played a vital
rule in transmitting knowledge. Later on, that flourished in the major Arab
contribution to the fields of science and art. Some names of Eastern non-Arab
Christians that should be remember for this often forgotten and unappreciated
fact are:
Yusuf al-Khuri al-Qass, who translated Archemides lost work on triangles from a
Syriac version. He also made an Arabic of Galen's De Simplicibus temperamentis
et facultatibus. Qusta Ibn Luqa al-Ba'lbakki, a Syriac Christian, who translated
Hypsicles, Theodosius' Sphaerica, Heron's Mechanics, Autolycus Theophrastus'
Meteora, Galen's catalog of his books, John Philoponus on the Phsyics of
Aristotle and several other works. He also revised the existing translation of
Euclid. Abu Bishr Matta Ibn Yunus al-Qanna'i, who translated Aristotle's
Poetica. Abu Zakariya Yahya Ibn 'Adi al-Mantiqi, a monophysite, who translated
medical and logical works, including the Prolegomena of Ammonius, an
introduction to Porphyry's Isagoge. Al-Hunayn Ibn Ipahim Ibn al-Hasan Ibn
Khurshid at-Tabari an-Natili, and the monophysite Abu 'Ali 'Isa Ibn Ishaq Ibn
Zer'a. Yuhanna Ibn Batriq, an Assyrian, who produced the Sirr al-asrar. 'Abd
al-Masih Ibn 'Aballah Wa'ima al-Himse, also an Assyrian, who translated the
Theology of Aristotle (but this was an apidged paraphrase of the Enneads by
Plotinus). Abu Yahya al-Batriq, another Assyrian, who translated Ptolemy's
Tetrabiblos. Jipa'il II, son of Bukhtyishu' II, of the prominent Assyrian
medical family mentioned above, Abu Zakariah Yahya Ibn Masawaih, an Assyrian
Nestorian. He authored a textbook on Ophthalmology, Daghal al-'ayn (The Disease
of the eye). Hunayn Ibn Ishaq, an Assyrian. Sergius of Rashayn, "a celepated
physician and philosopher, skilled in Greek and translator into Syriac of
various works on medicine, philosophy, astronomy, and theology". Other
Monopysite translators were Ya'qub of Surug, Aksenaya (Philoxenos), an alumnus
of the school of Edessa, Mara, bishop of Amid.

The Ummayads
The Ummayad caliphs (661-750) lived as Arabs first and Muslim second. As a
consequence, their era was liberal in both political and religious matters.
However, during the rule of the Ummayad caliph Umar II (717-720) there arose the
concern to summon conquered peoples to Islam and to create favorable conditions
allowing an equitable or better participation of all Muslims in the social and
political life of the community. Umar was shocked that non-Muslims should
exercise authority over Muslims, and tried to prevent it. In Egypt he removed
some of the Coptic officials from their positions and replaced them by Muslims,
and it seems that he applied this policy throughout the whole empire. He wrote
to the governor of Egypt: "I do not know a secretary or official in any part of
your government who was not a Muslim but I dismissed him and appointed in his
stead a Muslim." This policy of Umar II was translated during the later Abbasid
era into a major program due to the discontent of many Muslims with the excesses
and corruption of the liberal Ummayad caliphs and the frustration that
non-Arabian Muslims, especially Persian Muslims, felt on being treated as
second-class citizens. Also due to external political circumstances and to the
unruly and socially disruptive conduct of some Christian groups, Umar II reacted
with some vehemence against the Christians. He abrogated the jizyah for any
Christian who converted, and imposed other demeaning restrictions:
Christians may not be witnesses against Muslims. They may not hold public
office. They may not pray aloud or sound their clappers. They may not wear the
qaba', nor ride on a saddle. A Muslim who would kill a Christian would be liable
to a fine, not death. He abolished the financial arrangements whereby churches,
convents and the charities were maintained. Despite these exceptions, Ummayd
rule was characterised on the whole by political as well as religious and
intellectual liberalism. That is why Ummayad caliphs, with the exception of Umar
II, did not press for or even favour, conversion to the Islamic faith.
The Abbasid Era (750-1258)
With the Umayyad's fall in 750 the hegemony of Syria in the world of Islam ended
and the glory of the country passed away. The coming to power of the Abbasid
dynasty marked a radical change in the balance of power within the caliphate. In
a vast and complex body such as the caliphate had now become, there was an
intricate network of party interests, sometimes conflicting and sometimes
coinciding. The recovery of the equilibrium was thus no simple matter; and for
the whole of this century, (i.e., the 8th century) the caliphs had as a
prominent aim the framing of a policy which would rally the majority of the
inhabitants behind it. In an Islamic environment, it was inevitable that such a
political struggle should have religious implications. First, and vis-a-vis
other Muslim groups, the Abbasid caliphate touched a number of risings of
Kharajites who refused to submit to the new rule. There were also other
opponents who questioned the legitimacy of the Abbasids' claim to the caliphate.
As for the Christians as well as for the rest of ahl-al-Dhimmi, the Abbasid era
would prove to be less tolerant of non-Muslims and would either re-enact old
anti- Christian legislation or create new restrictions.
The Abbasids chose Baghdad for headquarters, though for a short period of time
al-Mutawakkil (847-861) transferred his his seat back from Iraq to Damascus
(885). As the Melkites[48] were few in numbers in Mesopotamia it was the
Nestorians and the Jacobites who under Abbasid rule shared more strongly in the
literary life of the country and brought greater contributions.The beginning of
the Abbasid caliphate until the reign of al-Mutawakkil (847-861) marked the
zenith of the Nestorian Church from mid 8th century to mid 9th century. This
prodigious success was made possible by the great number of zealous and educated
monks, formed by the many schools existing at the time. In Baghdad itself, there
were apparently many important monasteries, groups of professors, and students.
There were, for example, the school of Deir Kalilisu and Deir Mar Fatyun and the
school of Karh.
In the last two schools medicine and philosophy were taught along with the
sacred disciplines. Christian physicians and especially scribes exerted some
kind of tutelage within the Nestorian Church, and tried their best to obtain for
their community a more benevolent legislation from Muslim rulers. Though the
Abbasids showed tolerance towards the other religious, non-Muslim groups, still
their tolerance was displayed mostly vis-a-vis some of their coreligionists who
lived on the margins of traditional Islam.
The Christians, especially the Melkites who lived in the eastern provinces of
the empire, had much to endure. Before, al-Mutawakkil Abu Gafar al-Mansur
(754-775) imposed many vexing measures upon the Christians. In 756, he forbade
Christians to build new churches, to display the cross in public, or to speak
about religions with Muslims. In 757, he imposed taxes on monks, even on those
who lived as hermits, and he used Jews to strip sacristies for the treasury. In
759, he removed all Christians from positions in the treasury. In 766 he had the
crosses on top of the churches brought down, forbade every nocturnal liturgical
celebration and forbade the study of any language other than Arabic. In 722, he
required both Jews and Christians to exhibit an external sign to distinguish
them from other believers. Abu Gafar
al-Mansur also put in prison, for different reasons, the Melkite Patriarch
Theodoret, the Patriarch Georges, and the Nestorian Catholicos James.
Al-Mahdi (775-785) intensified the persecution and had all the churches built
since the Arab conquest destroyed. The Christian tribes of Banu Tanuh, which
counted 5000 fighters, were forced to embrace Islam. Angered by the defeats he
incurred at the hands of the Byzantines, al-Mahdi sent troops to Homs in Syria,
to have all the Christians abjure their faith. However, many of these laws were
not enforced. For example, when Umar II tried to dismiss all dhimmis from
government services, such confusion resulted that the order was ignored.
The Barmakid viziers, of Turkish origin, who were the strong arm of the Abbasid
caliphs, seem to have manifested a certain measure of benevolence towards
ahl-al-Dhimmi (the tributaries) and especially towards the Christians. It is
only at the end of the rule of Harun al-Rahid (786-809), i.e., after the
disgrace of the Barmakids, that some measures were taken against the Christians.
Harun al-Rashid re-enacted some of the anti-Christian and anti-Jewish measures
introduced by Umar II (717-720). In 807, he ordered all churches erected since
the Muslim conquest demolished. He also decreed that members of tolerated sects
should wear a prescribed garb. But evidently much of this legislation was not
enforced. Under his son al-Ma'mun (813-833) there was in 814 a general
persecution in Syria and in Palestine. Many Christians and church dignitaries
escaped into Cyprus and into Byzantine territories. Conditions under al-Watheq
(842-847) did not improve and were sad indeed for the Christians. Under
al-Mutawwakil (847-861) there was intensification of discontent on the part of
Christians due to harsh conditions imposed on them. In 850 and 854 al-Mutawwakil
revived the discriminatroy legislation and supplemented it by new features,
which were the most stringent ever issued against the minorities. Christians and
Jews were enjoined to affix wooden images of devils to their houses, level their
graves even with the ground, wear outer garments of yellow colour, and ride only
on mules and asses with wooden saddles marked by two pomegranates-like balls on
the cantle. Basing their contention on a Qur'anic charge that the Jews and the
Christians had corrupted the text of their scriptures (Surs. 2:70; 5:16-18), the
contemporary jurists ruled that no testimony of a Jew or Christian was
admissible against a Muslim.
Legally speaking, the law put the male dhimmi below the male Muslim in nearly
every way. It protected his life and property but did not accept his evidence.
Eight acts put the dhimmi outside the law: conspiring to fight the Muslims,
copulation with a Muslim woman, an attempt to marry one, an attempt to turn
Muslim from his religion, robbery of a Muslim on the highway, acting as a spy or
a guide to unbelievers, or the killing of a Muslim. However, despite these
stringent laws, the social status of Christians was not that bleak. The
consequences of this anti-Christian legislation were mitigated to a certain
degree by the number and influence of some Christians in prestigious and vital
professions, such as in medicine and high positions of government; e.g., Abu
l-Hasan Sa'id ibn Amr-ibn-Sangala, who occupied the position of secretary under
the Caliph al-Radi (934-40), and who was as well appointed as special secretary
for the two sons of the Caliph in 935, and also Minister of Expenditure, and who
rendered inestimable services to the Christians. Because Islam prohibits the
practice of usury to Muslims, Christians exercised a certain monopoly on the
trades of goldsmith, jeweller, and money-lender. Consequently, many Christians
were rich and this stirred further feelings of jealousy against them. On the
whole, relations between Muslims and Christians were peaceful and unfair laws
were not always enforced.
However, the Christians could not help but feel and endure the stigma of
inferiority. Even the literature of Islamo-Christian controversy should not
mislead us on their true condition in the land of Islam. The tolerance they
enjoyed was not the result of a state policy consistently upheld by all the
caliphs. On the part of the caliphs, it was mostly motivated by their concern to
protect and advance the sciences and the arts. The Islamisation of Syria and
Iraq and other lands no doubt facilitated Arabisation. After the Arab military
victory, there was the conquest and victory of Islam as a religion when many
Christians in Syria and other lands converted to Islam to escape their
oppressive and humiliating conditions. Finally there was the linguistic victory
as Arabic supplanted Greek and Syriac.
Addendum: Persecution of the Coptic Church
The Christian Coptic Orthodox Church Of Egypt[49]
Perhaps the greatest glory of the Coptic Church is its Cross. Copts take pride
in the persecution they have sustained as early as May 8, 68 A.D., when their
Patron Saint Mark was slain on Easter Monday after being dragged from his feet
by Roman soldiers all over Alexandria's streets and alleys. The Copts have been
persecuted by almost every ruler of Egypt. Their Clergymen have been tortured
and exiled even by their Christian brothers after the schism of Chalcedon in 451
A.D. and until the Arab's conquest of Egypt in 641 A.D. To emphasise their pride
in their cross, Copts adopted a calendar, called the Calendar of the Martyrs,
which begins its era on August 29, 284 A.D., in commemoration of those who died
for their faith during the rule of Diocletian the Roman Emperor. This calendar
is still in use all over Egypt by farmers to keep track of the various
agricultural seasons and in the Coptic Church Lectionary.
For the four centuries that followed the Arab's conquest of Egypt, the Coptic
Church generally flourished and Egypt remained basically Christian. This is due
to a large extent to the fortunate position that the Copts enjoyed, for the
Prophet of Islam, who had an Egyptian wife (the only one of his wives to bear a
child), preached especial kindness towards Copts: "When you conquer Egypt, be
kind to the Copts for they are your proteges and kith and kin". Copts, thus,
were allowed to freely practice their religion and were to a large degree
autonomous, provided they continued to pay a special tax, called "Gezya", that
qualifies them as "Ahl Zemma" proteges (protected). Individuals who cannot
afford to pay this tax were faced with the choice of either converting to Islam
or losing their civil right to be "protected", which in some instances meant
being killed. Copts, despite additional sumptuary laws that were imposed on them
in 750-868 A.D. and 905-935 A.D. under the Abbasid Dynasties, prospered and
their Church enjoyed one of its most peaceful era. Surviving literature from
monastic centers, dating back from the 8th to the 11th century, shows no drastic
break in the activities of Coptic craftsmen, such as weavers, leather-binders,
painters, and wood-workers. Throughout that period, the Coptic language remained
the language of the land, and it was not until the second half of the 11th
century that the first bi-lingual Coptic-Arabic liturgical manuscripts started
to appear. One of the first complete Arabic texts is the 13th century text by
Awlaad El-Assal (children of the Honey Maker), in which the laws, cultural norms
and traditions of the Copts at this pivotal time, 500 years after the Islamic
conquest of Egypt were detailed. The adoption of the Arabic language as the
language used in Egyptians' every-day's life was so slow that even in the 15th
century al-Makrizi implied that the Coptic Language was still largely in use. Up
to this day, the Coptic Language continues to be the liturgical language of the
Church.
The Christian face of Egypt started to change by the beginning of the second
millennium A.D., when Copts, in addition to the "Gezya" tax, suffered from
specific disabilities, some of which were serious and interfered with their
freedom of worship. For example, there were restrictions on repairing old
Churches and building new ones, on testifying in court, on public behaviour, on
adoption, on inheritance, on public religious activities, and on dress codes.
Slowly but steadily, by the end of the 12th century, the face of Egypt changed
from a predominantly Christian to a predominantly Muslim country and the Coptic
community occupied an inferior position and lived in some expectation of Muslim
hostility, which periodically flared into violence. It is remarkable that the
well-being of Copts was more or less related to the well-being of their rulers.
In particular, the Copts suffered most in those periods when Arab dynasties were
at their low.
The position of the Copts began to improve early in the 19th century under the
stability and tolerance of Muhammad Ali's dynasty. The Coptic community ceased
to be regarded by the state as an administrative unit and, by 1855 A.D., the
main mark of Copts' inferiority, the "Gezya" tax was lifted, and shortly
thereafter Copts started to serve in the Egyptian army. The 1919 A.D. revolution
in Egypt, the first grassroots display of Egyptian identity in centuries, stands
as a witness to the homogeneity of Egypt's modern society with both its Muslim
and Coptic sects. Today, this homogeneity is what keeps the Egyptian society
united against the religious intolerance of extremist groups, who occasionally
subject the Copts to persecution and terror. Modern day martyrs, like Father
Marcos Khalil, serve as reminders of the miracle of Coptic survival.
Despite persecution, the Coptic Church as a religious institution has never been
controlled or allowed itself to control the governments in Egypt. This long-held
position of the Church concerning the separation between State and Religion
stems from the words of the Lord Jesus Christ himself, when he asked his
followers to submit to their rulers: ‘‘Render therefore to Caesar the things
that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.'' [Mathew 22:21]. The
Coptic Church has never forcefully resisted authorities or invaders and was
never allied with any powers, for the words of the Lord Jesus Christ are clear:
‘‘Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the
sword.'' (Mathew 26:52). The miraculous survival of the Coptic Church till this
day and age is a living proof of the validity and wisdom of these teachings.
Autonomous government and birth of sectarian power sharing following the 1860
civil war.
The origin of the Christian hold of power in Lebanon can be dated back to 1861.
In 1861 foreign powers imposed what is known as the "Reglement Organique" in
which the Ottoman government designated Mount Lebanon as an autonomous Ottoman
province to be ruled by a non-Lebanese Ottoman Christian governor, selected by
the Sultan, and approved by the great powers Of Europe. The autonomous province
was to become a special Ottoman governornate or mutasarrifiyya. A new 12-member
council whose seats were allocated on a sectarian basis aided the governor. Aziz
Abu Hamad said that this system increased the Maronites power at the expense of
the Druze and other sects.
In the opinion of one historian, Aziz Abu Hamad, Christians from 1861 were able
to be autonomous during the Ottoman rule. This was very crucial for the
development of their nationalism and their aim of forming a Christian state.
Many Maronites conceived the mutasarrifiyya as the basis for an independent
Lebanon that would be a Christian bastion and an out-post of Western Europe in
the Middle East.
The Christian Druze confrontation spilled into the beginning of the twentieth
century. For instance, in September 1903, Christian and Muslim clashes resulted
in the death of 7 Christians and 15 Muslims. An estimated 20,000 Christians,
mainly Maronites, took refuge in the mountains until sectarian tempers cooled.
The French mandate and the increase of the Christian political influence
Christian power in Lebanon increased in September 1920 with the establishment of
the state of Lebanon under the French mandate. The creation of Grand Liban
(Greater Lebanon) by general Gouraud, High Commissioner for Syria and Lebanon,
was the first step taken by France to fulfil its pledges to its traditional
Lebanese Christians, especially the Maronites for the establishment of a
Christian state. The establishment of an independent Christian state, with
extended borders, and under French protection was the realisation of a centuries
old dream of Christians especially the Maronites.
For the Muslims in Syria and the areas newly attached to Lebanon (Akkar,
Tripoli, Beirut, Bekaa and the South), however, it was the final blow in a
series of demoralising events which had began six weeks earlier, with the defeat
of the Arab army at Maisalun, and the subsequent occupation of Damascus by the
French and the expulsion of Faisal the Syrian king from Syria.
The Lebanese Muslims were disappointed about not being able to unite with the
Muslim dominated Syria. Christians welcomed the French mandate power that sided
with them. The governance system, which the French designed for Lebanon,
favoured Christians over Muslims. The establishment of a pro Christian system
strengthened the status of the Christians in Lebanon and in the Middle East.
Abbot Paul Naaman adjudged the establishment of the republic of Greater Lebanon
to the efforts of the Maronite Church, and considered it as the Church's
greatest accomplishment. Following the creation of Greater Lebanon in 1920, the
relations between Muslims and Christians in Lebanon deteriorated rapidly;
Muslims attacked Christian villages in Lebanon. The creation of Greater Lebanon
set a time bomb by forcing Muslims, whose allegiance was to Syria and to the
Arab nation, to be citizens of the new state.
Eyal Zisser explained that the Christian population in Lebanon dropped from 85
per cent to 54 per cent once the new areas were added to the new region of
Lebanon's Mountain. The creation of Greater Lebanon would contribute to their
fall 70 years later, with the addition of those Muslim populated areas.
Sami Ofeish elaborated that the sectarian system was at work as early as 1920s:
Seats in the first parliament, initiated in 1926s were allocated on a sectarian
basis. The sectarian allocation of top state offices also started to take shape
during this period, although the Christian elite predominantly filled them.
The 1943 pact
It is very important to look carefully at the structure of the Lebanese
political sectarian regime. That structure has ensured Christian political
dominance until 1990. The sectarian system was reinforced with the declaration
of independence in 1943 following the collapse of the French mandate. President
Bishara Al-Khouri (a Christian) and Prime minister Riad Soleh (a Muslim) joined
in an unwritten agreement, which was called the National Pact.
The National Pact set a new political system for Lebanon. It resolved to
preserve the position of the presidency for the Maronites, the premiership for
the Sunnis, and the parliament speakership for the Shiites. Moreover, the Pact
agreed to distribute parliamentary seats, cabinet posts, and administrative and
army positions at all levels on a sectarian basis. Sami Ofeish said that the
National Pact favoured Christians and in particular the Maronite elite.
The 1943 Pact cemented the Christian political power, which was given to them in
the 1920s by the French Mandate. It enabled Christians to rule Muslims for the
next 32 years until it started to crack in 1975. Certainly, Christians enjoyed
overwhelming control of the political system, despite the allocation of the next
two top political office positions to Muslims.
Similarly Mark Tomass noted that the Christians acquired the lion's share of
sectarian jobs:
This pervasive sectarianism was reflected in the constitution of 1943 drawn
under the French Mandate (1920-1945). It allocated specific government posts to
sect leaders. Because of their greatest and specific ties to France,
Maronite-Christians acquired the lion's share of posts.
All the above may give the indication that the Christians were given the edge
over the Muslims, and, therefore, they dominated the country until the start of
civil war.
Chapter 2: Christians maintained hold on power from 1943-1975
This chapter argues that the Christians managed to hold on to power despite the
Muslims attempt to demand a far more share of power from the Christians.
According to Brenda Seaver, the Lebanese political situation between 1943-1975
endured periods of severe internal strain. The major causes of this strain were
the 1958 civil war, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the influx of Palestinian
refugees and the PLO's arrival in Lebanon[1]. These above-mentioned events would
serve as a catalyst for the civil war of 1975 and the fall of the 1943 political
system in 1990.
The establishment of the new state of Israel and its effects on Christians and
Muslims in Lebanon
The creation of Israel in 1948 greatly affected the cordial harmony between the
Lebanese Christians and Muslims. The reason for this is that some Christian
leaders publicly met with Israel. However, Muslims saw Israel as the main enemy
to the Arab world and that any cooperation with it would be considered treason.
Patriarch Antoine Arida was the first Christian leader to sign a
Zionist-Maronite treaty of 1946[2]. The treaty laid down the guidelines for the
establishment of close ties and co-operation between the Maronites in Lebanon
and the Jewish Yishuv in Palestine, on the basis of mutual recognition of rights
and national desires[3]. The Christians made no secret of the fact that they
believed that they could benefit from the ties and experience of the Jewish
Yishuv[4].
Eyal Zisser explained the reason for the Maronites seeking ties with Israel:
The only thing the Maronites wanted was to recruit discreetly Israel support for
their struggles in the Lebanese domestic arena, keeping these connections as
tightly under wraps as possible[5].
Despite the fact that the parties involved did not execute the treaty, it shows
how Christians were looking for an ally to protect them from the enemy within
namely "the Muslims" who started to gradually distance themselves from the
National pact of 1943.
According to Eyal Zisser, there were other Christian leaders who voiced their
sympathy to the Zionist movement publicly, namely the archbishop of Beirut,
Ignatius Mubarak[6]. Since the Muslims saw Israel as an obstacle for a mightier
Muslim Arabic world, they sought support from outsiders such as the Palestinians
in the early stages of the Lebanese civil war and Syria in the later stages.
The civil unrest of 1958
The political power of the Christian political elite was challenged in 1958. The
country was shaken during this period. In 1958 Syria and Egypt came together in
the United Arab Republic (U.A.R) under full Egyptian command. The union received
support among the majority of the Lebanese Shiites and Sunnis[7].
The Lebanese government dominated by Christians was fearful of the supporters of
the pro Arab unity who were trying to topple the government. President Camille
Chamoun backed by the bulk of Christians was absolutely determined to preserve
Lebanon. As a consequence, only a small spark was needed to ignite widespread
violence[8]. Therefore on 8th May, unknown assailants killed an anti-regime
Maronite journalist in Tripoli (the Second largest Lebanese city). Public order
instantly collapsed in Tripoli and the Muslim sections of Beirut, as riots
extended into the mobilisation of gangs and small militias by radical parties
Nasirites and Ba'th[9].
President Chamoun, a Christian, asked the Eisenhower administration to curb the
civil unrest of 1958. The Eisenhower administration quickly responded by sending
10,000 Marines, in order to shore up the government's forces. Aziz Abu-Hamad
cited that the Maronite-led government troops and the Maronite militia battled
an alliance of Muslim militias and their leftists and Nasirist allies in
Tripoli, Beirut, Sidon and Tyre[10]. Aziz added that the 1958 crisis was defused
when President Chamoun dropped his plans for a second term[11]. Christians and
Muslims were finally content with the election of the army commander Fouad
Shihab as the new president, and, consequently, the US withdrew from Lebanon.
During the 1958 civil war, the Christian dominated government fought alongside
the Maronite militia against Muslims and leftists. Even though the 1958 war was
caused by the clash of pro Lebanese sovereignty and pro Arab unity groups, it
reinforced the belief that the Lebanese community was divided along sectarian
lines. Thus, the Christians favoured Lebanese sovereignty while the Muslims
favoured Lebanon joining a more desired unified Arabic league nation.
The 1967 Muslim-Jewish war and the Palestinian increased involvement in Lebanon
The 1967 Arab-Israel war further strained the relationship between Christians
and Muslims. This was due to the fact that the Lebanese political leadership
refused to commit its troops to the June 1967 Arab-Israeli war. The
non-commitment enraged many Lebanese Muslims[12]. After the defeat of the Arabs
in the 1967 war, the Palestinians started to launch attacks against Israel from
Lebanon. Israel retaliated by shelling Lebanese towns and villages.
Aziz Abu-Hamad showed that the Palestinian military action against Israel
divided Christians and Muslims again:
Muslim leaders proclaimed support for the Palestinian cause, Christian leaders
expressed their opposition to dragging Lebanon into the Middle East
conflict[13].
Although Lebanese Muslims had only minority representation in the Lebanese
Parliament, they outnumbered Christians in 1968. This was largely due to the
higher rates of Christian emigration and higher Muslim birth rates. Aziz
Abu-Hamad explained that in 1968, Muslims demanded several government changes
including an end to the accord that reserved key positions for Maronites, such
as the Commander of the army and the Governor of the central Bank[14].
The Cairo agreement of 1969 gave Palestinians the right of autonomous
administrative control over their refugee camps in Lebanon. Christians objected
to the agreement arguing that it was a betrayal of Lebanese sovereignty[15]. The
Christians' anger compelled Christian parties such as Phalanges( Kata'ib) and
Camille Chamoun's National Liberal parties to establish military camps for their
militias[16]. These newly trained Christian militias assisted the Lebanese army
in their clashes with Palestinians in 1970. Although that crisis was temporarily
resolved by reaffirming the Cairo Agreement, the Christian leadership, girded
for the next round, determined to uphold Lebanese sovereignty and the Christian
character of Lebanon[17].
The Jordanian army expelled Palestinian fighters in September 1970 from Jordan.
The move was aimed to stop the Palestinians from attacking Israel who used to
militarily retaliate by bombing Jordan[18]. Many newly arrived expelled
Palestinian fighters entered Lebanon taking advantage of the 1969 Cairo
agreement, which granted Palestinian relative autonomy in Lebanon. Aziz
Abu-Hamad said that several Lebanese factions, mostly Muslim and leftist groups,
used the PLO's autonomy and political and military power to press for greater
participation in decision-making[19].
During the 1973 Arab-Israeli
war, differences between Christians and Muslims deepened. The Christians were
upset to see South Lebanon a battlefield between Israel and the Palestinians,
while the Muslims took the opportunity in return to show dissatisfaction with
their economic and political status in a Christian dominated political
system[20].
Chapter 3: Christian Nationalism vs. Muslim Nationalism
This chapter explores nationalism in Lebanon. Nationalism can be considered as
one cause of the rise and fall of Christianity in Lebanon.
Meir Zamir described the spread of Christian nationalism in Lebanon as one of
the three nationalistic movements that emerged simultaneously in the Middle
East. The other two being the Muslim and Jewish movements[1].
It is very hard for people with different nationalistic persuasions in the same
country to stay unified. I will limit my study to the Christian and
Arabic/Muslim nationalism, due to the fact that Lebanon housed only few a
hundred Jews.
Theodor Hanf stated that the Lebanese nationalists, mainly Christians, tried to
prove that Lebanon had existed since time immemorial and stressed its
independence and uniqueness. He added that Arab nationalists, usually Muslims,
tended to present the history of what is now known as Lebanon as a provincial
chapter in the history of Arab-Islamic empires[2]. He added that there had been
disputes about when which part of the country was first called Lebanon, and
whether one or other of the contemporary communities was already a nation in the
past[3].
Marguerite Johnson identified Christian nationalism in terms of their
distinctive cultural identity in the Middle East[4]. The cultural character of
the Christian community was rooted in their religious separateness from the rest
of the Near East and was nourished by centuries of long cultural ties with
Western Europe.
Christian nationalism helped increase their survival chances in Lebanon.
However, it also contributed to their own downfall. Their nationalism clashed
with Muslim and Arabic nationalism. The Muslims showed an equal resolve to claim
Lebanon and tried to remove the Lebanese Christians from political power.
In Lebanon, until recently, most Christian children were taught that Lebanon is
a Phoenician and a western oriented nation, while most Muslim children students
are taught that Lebanon is an Arabic country and an integral part of its Islamic
World. Many Christians believe that they are Lebanese and not Arabs.
Ghassan Hage reasoned that the Muslim Shari'a's differentiation of people on the
basis of their religious identity led Christians to become acutely conscious of
their status as a religious minority[5].
The biggest fear Christians have had is how to survive in such a Muslim
dominated region. This has prompted them to deny Muslims the opportunity to turn
Lebanon into an Arabic and Muslim nation. This was done by spreading their
notion of nationalism, which they associated with Lebanese sovereignty away from
Arabic and Islamic influences.
Christian nationalism made the Christians reluctant to share their power with
Muslims until the commencement of the 1975 Lebanese civil war. They were worried
about their future as a minority, surrounded by a majority Muslim population
that was hungry to claim its fair share of power due to their superiority of
numbers. Lebanese Christians were always keenly mindful of past atrocities
inflicted on their brethren in the Middle East at the hands of the Muslims-
namely the demise of Armenians in Turkey and the persecution of Coptic
Christians in Sudan and Egypt. The majority of Christians associate themselves
with Phoenician roots and not to the Arab Bedouin (Originally Arab).
Antoine Najm did not agree that nationalism ran along strict religious lines. He
saw that Arabists, be Christian or Muslim, aspired to either annex Lebanon to
the "Greater Arab Nation" or to establish an Islamic or quasi-Islamic state.
Lebanese nationalists rejected this political stand[6].
The clash of nationalism between Christians and Muslims in Lebanon may be
illustrated by a recent incident surrounding the celebrated poet Khalil Gebran.
Recently, the American Maronite Union wrote to the American Secretary of State,
General Colin Powell, clarifying that the famous Lebanese poet Khalil Gebran is
Lebanese and not an Arab[7]. Their protest was to the Middle East Descent
Association in America, honouring Khalil Gebran as an Arabic American in the
presence of Powell[8]. Tom Harb the chairman of the American Maronite union
explained:
While we certainly would not be opposed to any party that would honour Khalil
Gibran, we express our concerns as the identification of this great
Lebanese-American as an "Arab-American"[9].
David Gordon discussed the view of Muslims and Christians about each other. He
outlined Muslim opinion about Christians as follows:
The Christians' view of Muslim nationalism was put succinctly also by David
Gordon. He explained that Christians believed that Arab nationalism was
inevitably "Muslim". He added that they further claimed that Muslims were
hypocritical in calling for a secular state, while at the time never abandoning
their "personal status"(according to which matters of inheritance and marriage
are determined by Koranic prescription). Lastly, Christians believed that
integration of Lebanon politically or economically into the Arab world with its
authoritarian and socialist tendencies, would only jeopardise the freedom and
prosperity that both Muslims and Christians enjoyed in Lebanon. Christians
further saw that the realisation of Muslim demands would be killing the goose
that laid the golden egg[11].
The Christians' belief was that Arab nationalism was inevitably Muslim. This is
true, owing to the fact that the ordinary Arabic citizens and government
stressed the Islamic nature of the Arab world.
This chapter explored how Lebanese Christians and Muslims espoused different
nationalistic views. The spread of this divided nationalism was made easier by
the existence of political and religious political parties, which I will discuss
in the next chapter.
Chapter 4: Christian Political Parties and Organisations
This chapter explores Christian political parties, and their role in the rise
and fall of Christians in Lebanon. These parties have used nationalism as a
vehicle to promote their political platforms. These political parties were
involved in the 1975 civil war. Moreover, despite the end of the civil war in
1990, the Lebanese Christian parties still try to influence politics in Lebanon.
These parties' aim has been to be recognised as the ones who safeguarded the
Christians' rights in Lebanon.
The Phalanges Party (Kataib)
It was clearly the single most important actor among Lebanese Christians in the
events leading to the 1975 crisis. In the early 1950s, the Phalanges became a
parliamentary party and a participant in the traditional game of Lebanese
politics[1]. It recruited non-Christian and non-Maronite members. Yet, the
Phalanges remained essentially a Maronite party and according to Rabinovich, the
Lebanese entity it envisaged was in reality Christian[2].
In the summer of 1975, when it appeared that the preservation of Christian
control over the traditional political system in Greater Lebanon was no longer
feasible, the party, or at least its radical wing, opted for the less desirable
goal of a smaller Christian Lebanon based in East Beirut, the Northern part of
Mount Lebanon, and the coastal area north of Beirut3. This sentiment was
expressed through the publication of an interesting pamphlet by the Maronite
Intellectual Centre in Kaslik, under the title Greater Lebanon a half century's
tragedy. The pamphlet stated that the creation of Greater Lebanon in 1920 by the
French mandate was not in favour of the Christians.
The Christians knew very clearly that their political dominance, which was
safeguarded by the creation of Greater Lebanon in 1920 by the French mandate and
the 1943 pact, was no longer possible. It was a sound strategy to opt for a
smaller country in which they could control and preserve their culture. However,
as events later showed, Muslims were not just interested in taking power in
Lebanon but also to prevent Christians from ever forming a small or larger
Christian Lebanese nation. As a result, the party was very interested in
protecting Christian interest in a country, which started to slip away from them
in favour of the Muslim majority.
The Phalanges party was divided between two schools of thoughts-the school of
thought represented by Pierre Gemayel's elder son Amin and that of Karim
Pakandouni. They believed that Lebanon's Christians could only survive by coming
to terms with their environment. It sought accommodation with Syria, with
Lebanese Muslims and with the larger Arab world. The second school of thought
was represented by Amin's younger brother Bashir, who, in the summer of 1976,
became the Commander of the party's armed forces. This school according to
Itamar Rabinovich is sceptical of Arab and Muslim willingness to tolerate a
Lebanese Christian entity in their midst, and believed in the need to develop
that entity's resources, the establishment of an alliance with Israel, the
mobilisation of the Lebanese Christian Diaspora, and the obtainment of American
support[4].
The second school of thought prevailed over the first one. When Bashir sidelined
his older brother, many believed that Bashir ignited strong nationalistic
support among Christians. He later became the President of the country for
twenty-one days, until his assassination. His brother succeeded him but was much
weaker than he.
The Lebanese Forces
The Phalangist army called itself the Lebanese Forces (LF). It mustered up to
20,000 troops, of which a core of 3,000 was a full-time soldier. Under the
leadership of William Hawi, and later of Bashir Gemayel, it evolved into a
formidable and highly organised fighting force. The Phalangist party practised
conscription in the area it controlled, drafting eligible young men to swell its
ranks. In internal fighting throughout the Civil War and up to 1982, the
Lebanese Forces consolidated its leadership of the Lebanese Christian Front by
assimilating other Christian militia, often by force[5].
The National Liberal party
The Phalanges principal ally in the Lebanese front, Camille Chamoun's national
Liberal party, was a markedly dissimilar political formation6. A small party
organised around the person and personality of its leaders, it lacked the
coherent doctrine, elaborate structure, and large membership of its senior
partner, the Phalanges.
Camille Chamoun presided over Lebanon from 1952 until 1958. He was a bitter
opponent and critic of Pan-Arab nationalism, and the only Arab ruler who
accepted the US president Dwight Eisenhower's doctrine, which was aimed to help
the Middle East nations fend off armed aggression from any communist nation. It
even offered to protect the political independence of such nations[7]. The party
is currently heading the opposition against Syria's presence in Lebanon.
Al Marade Party
This 3,500-strong unit, also called the Marada (Giants) Brigade, was named after
a Byzantine border guard in ancient Lebanon. They represented the interests of
Sulayman Franjiyah, President of Lebanon at the outbreak of the Civil War. It
was also called the Zhagartan Liberation Army after Zgharta, Franjiyah's
hometown. It operated out of Tripoli and other areas of northern Lebanon, but it
also fought in Beirut. The military alliance between the Phalanges and the
Marada, which was evident at the start of the 1975 civil war, ended on June 13,
1978, with a surprise Lebanese Forces (LF) attack on Ihdin, the Marada
headquarters, during which the Marada commander, Tony Franjiyah was killed[8].
The Order of Maronite Monks
The Maronite church has played a big role in Lebanese politics. It has sought to
safeguard the right of Christians. During the 1975 Lebanese Civil War, Patriarch
Bulus Khureysh, the head of the Maronite Church, did not have any political
impact9. On the other hand, the head of the order of Maronite monks Father
Charbel Qassis took the activist and militant line within the Maronite church.
The Maronite Monastic order, the owners of a sizable portion of Lebanon's
agricultural land, provided financial and political support to the Maronite
militias[10].
The Order of Maronite Monks militia consisted of 200 priests[11]. Father Bulus
Na'aman, another powerful militant cleric, later replaced Quassis[12].
Rabinovich explained that Maronite monasteries were storing weapons, ammunition,
and food for Christian militias[13]. Priests saw the need to protect Christians
against Palestinians and Muslims who were threatening the status quo of
Christians.
Maronite League
The Maronite League was a militant militia headed by Shaker Abu Suleiman, an
ardent supporter of Qassis. Like the Guardians of the Cedar (see below), it was
a purely Maronite militia without the inhibitions of the politically
sophisticated Phalanges and National Liberals. It, therefore, chose to fight
alongside these groups rather than to merge with them[14].
The Guardians of the Cedars
The Guardians of the Cedars consisted of about 500 men[15]. Although they
advocated a non-confrontational confessional ideology, the Guardians have in
practice been among the fiercest fighters for the Christian cause.
The political and military leader of the Guardians of the Cedar, Etienne Saqr
(nicknamed Abu Arz), worked for the Faranjiyya administration in the early
1970s. But ideologically, Sa'id Aql who sought to draw a clear distinction
between Lebanonism and Arabism inspired the Guardians. Aql's conception of
Lebanon, originating in and inspired by a remote Phoenician past, and
contributing to the development of civilisation, minimises the role of Islam and
Arabism[16].
The Guardians of the Cedars were frank about their relationship with Israel,
unlike the Phalanges and the National Liberals, who sought to conceal their
relations with Israel. The Guardians argued publicly in 1976 that the Christians
should turn to Israel to ask it to save what was left of Lebanon. Like the
Maronite League, they maintained their separate organisation that fought
alongside the larger militias[17].
At Tanzim
Arabic for "the organisation". At Tanzim was originally a small secret society
of Christian officers within the Lebanese army who supported the Phalanges. At
Tanzim accepted members from outside the army, mostly from the upper and
professional classes. It fielded its own militia of about 200[18].
The Lebanese Front
In December 1975, when major changes in the Lebanese political system were being
discussed seriously and a Muslim summit was convened to formulate a joint
position, a comparable Maronite summit was called for. The major Maronite
leaders Pierre Gemayel, Camille Chamoun, Charbel Quassis, and Shaker Chaker Abu
Sleiman met in the presidential palace[19].
In the spring of 1976, the Maronite summit was renamed the Kafur summit. Camille
Chamoun was chosen President of the newly formed Lebanese Front. Its leadership
included Pierre and Bashir Gemayel, Bulus Na'aman, Edward Hunayian (who had
previously worked with Raymond Edde), and two noted Christian intellectuals,
Charles Malek and Fouad Ephrem Al Boustani. A joint military command was formed
for the various militias, whose new collective name was the Lebanese forces.
The Lebanese forces were made up of four militias, the Phalanges, Chamoun's
Numur, the Guardians of the Cedars, and the At Tanzim. Two members represented
each. Despite the nominal parity, it was clear that the Lebanese Forces were
dominated and controlled by Bashir Gemayel.
Nevertheless, the formation of an apparently non-partisan, all Maronite forums
proved very useful for the further development of the status quo coalition of
Christian leaders mentioned above[20]. Halim Barakat said that the Christian
rightists of the Lebanese Front have continued to resist the elimination of
political sectarianism[21].
The Army’s Christian Leadership
The Christian leadership within the army can be considered an important
component of the status quo coalition, which consists of Christian groups, which
refused to relent their power to Muslims. The Lebanese army's refusal to take
sides during the crises of 1952 and 1958 was a rare phenomenon in post-world war
II Middle East, where political history has been largely shaped by military
intervention and domination. The higher echelon of the professional officer
corps was predominantly Christian, and the army was seen as one that was
predominantly Christian. The army was seen as one of the ultimate guarantors of
both the Lebanese political system and the Christian character. In the 1950 and
1960s, Muslim politicians repeatedly demanded a national service law that would
transform the army into a predominantly Muslim force[22]. The bulk of the army
was positioned in Beirut and the centre of the country.
Accommodationist Christian leaders
The Christian community had also moderate Christian politicians and public
figures such as the former president Elias Sarkis and Raymond Edde (the son of
President Emille Edde). They sought accommodation policies with the opponents of
the (namely the Muslims). However they did not possess the coherence of an
actual political school or bloc. Moreover, these leaders were willing to concede
a large share of power in the political system to the Muslim community. They
strongly opposed the notion of partition.
Chapter 5: The Christian role in the Lebanese Civil War of 1975-1990
The Lebanese Civil war and its outcome changed the status of Christians in
Lebanon and helped their political decline. The Civil War started in 1975 and
many historians still do not agree on its immediate causes. However, Brenda
Seaver cited two events, which marked the beginning of the Lebanese Civil War.
The first event occurred in February 1975, where Lebanese fishermen's unions in
Sidon, Tyre, and Tripoli jointly protested the establishment of the Protein
Company, a modern high-technology monopolistic fishing company owned in large
part by former president Camille Chamoun, a Maronite Christian[1].
Brenda Seaver added that the army began firing upon protesters mortally wounding
Ma'ruf Saad, the Sunni Muslim leader of the popular Nasserite Organisation of
Sidon[2]. Following Sidon's events, street demonstrations erupted virtually in
all of Lebanon's major cities and intense fighting occurred between Christian
troops and gunmen aided by Palestinian commandos.
While the second event, according to Seaver, took place on 13 April 1975, when
unknown assailants attempted to assassinate Pierre Gemayel, the leader of the
Phalanges, while he was attending the consecration of a new church in the
Christian Beirut suburb of Ain Rumana. Gemayel survived, but three of his
bodyguards died[3]. Seaver added that a group of Maronite militiamen at Ayn
Al-Rumana retaliated by ambushing a bus containing mostly Palestinians on their
way to the Tel-Al Za'atar refugee camp, killing twenty-seven passengers[4]. The
incident incited heavy fighting throughout the country between the Phalangists
on the one hand and Palestinian militiamen and leftist Muslims on the other
hand, resulting in over 300 deaths in three days. The first incident highlighted
the Muslims' uneasiness about the privileges that the Christian elite were
enjoying. The protest was not just a protest against the opening of the company,
but because it was owned by one of the Christian power brokers. Moreover, it
followed a constant outcry of Muslim leaders against the privileges and wealth
of the Christians.
After the Cairo Agreement in 1969, which sanctioned the arming of Palestinians
in Lebanon, the Christians perceived the continuing presence of the Palestinians
in Lebanon as a serious threat.
These above incidents are not the only factors, which led to the eruption of the
Civil War. The nature of nationalism in Lebanon has played a crucial role in
making the Civil war inevitable.
Twefik Khalaf noted that the Christians had a hidden agenda when fighting broke
out between the Phalanges and the Palestinians. The Phalanges wanted to hold on
for a few days and then engage the Lebanese Army in a Jordanian style campaign
against the Palestinians[5].
The Christians may be indirectly blamed for the eruption of the civil war, due
to the fact that the demands of Muslims for more equality fell on deaf ears. As
a result of a fifteen-year Muslim boycott of the Lebanese state during the
French mandate, there was always considerable disequilibrium in the civil
service, which was made up largely by Christians. The disequilibrium continued
well into the independent republic: young civil servants appointed in the 1930s
reached retiring age only in the 1960s[6]. This ably explained the reason behind
the Christian control of the civil service.
In the fifties, Maronites and Greek Catholics Melkites and Sunni Muslims were
over represented at the expense of the Shi'ites. As Muslim communities lagged in
university education, Muslim deputies, parties and institutions were among the
zealous champions of the principle of proportionality or quota citing Article 95
of the constitution which stipulated an adequate distribution of civil service
posts among the communities[7]. Christians, with their educational advantages,
rejected the Muslim demand, citing that Article 12 of the constitution,
stipulated that all citizens should have equal access to the civil service and
that the only criteria of selection was merit and ability[8].
The above example effectively explains that the different interpretation of the
constitution by Christians and Muslims had made them in conflict with each
other.
Brenda Seaver criticised the Christian militias, as they often seemed to act in
defiance of the Lebanese Front's leadership[9]. Ghassan Hage cited Christian
notorious atrocities on 6 December 1975. The day was to be known later as "black
Saturday", where more than two hundred Muslims were brutally massacred by
Christians. This event was usually explained as an act of revenge for the
killing of Christians in Muslim areas[10].
Simon Haddad recorded that Palestinian refugees were slaughtered in Tal Al
Za'atar in 1976 and in Sabra and Shatila camps in 1982[11]. Rex Brynen estimated
that Christians killed about one thousand Palestinians and Lebanese Muslims and
evicted twenty thousand from the Palestinian protected areas of the Al-Karantina
and Al-Maslakh slum districts[12].
The years between 1975-1990 were the darkest time for Christians. This was due
to the atrocities committed by the Christian militia and by the atrocities
committed on Christians by Muslims and Palestinians. Charles Sennott recalled
the war memory of one Christian villager Michael Abu Abdella from Damour. Abu
Abdella remembered the attacks that devastated his village Christian community
and had caused thousands to flee[13].
During the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, a Phalange faction led by Elie
Hobaiqa attacked the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila and
massacred about one thousand unarmed refugees, including women, children, and
old men[14]. Israel was blamed widely for not intervening to stop it once it had
began[15].
However, the Lebanese forces denied its involvement and the victims' relatives
have recently launched criminal proceeding at a the Belgium supreme court
against the current Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who was the Defence
Minister during the 1982 invasion.
Chapter 6: Causes of the Decline of the Christian status in Lebanon
The decline of the Christian role in Lebanon was caused by four factors.
Firstly, the typical strife with the Muslim foes, secondly by internal Christian
division and fighting, thirdly by foreign intervention and fourthly by voluntary
and forced emigration of many Christians.
The political and social Christian decline can be traced to their struggle with
the Muslim majority. Christians were exhausted by their war with the Muslims.
Fawaz Gerges noted that Latif Abul-Husn believed that the 1975 war revolved
around three main issues: Reform of the political system, the national identity
of Lebanon and Lebanon's sovereignty[1].
According to Abul-Husn, the Christians could have been in conflict with the
Muslims over the three above issues. The Muslims wanted to reform the political
system, which favoured Christians. They wanted to translate their numerical
superiority into political power. They wanted a system, which they could
control. Moreover, they saw Christians as an obstacle to the formation of an
Islamic state similar to the rest of the Middle Eastern states. The Muslims
chose war instead of dialogue, due to the fact that the Christians continued to
ignore their grievances. The war was more destructive to the Christians than to
the Muslims.
In 1983, a civil war erupted in the mountains between the Phalanges and the
Druze on a large scale. The Druze defeated the Christians. They drew no
distinction between their Christian supporters and opponents. Around sixty
villages were devastated, thousands of civilians were murdered, and tens of
thousands were driven out or had fled. The spiritual leader of the Druze, Sheikh
Abu Shakra, summed up the brutality of this phase of the civil war stating that
the Christians would never again live in the Druze Mountain[2]. For the
Christians, the episode was a disaster of a similar magnitude as in the Chouf,
where about fifty Christian villages were razed to the ground in 1983[3].
Theodore Hanf noted that there had been radical changes in the southern section
of Mount Lebanon, the upper Metn, the Aley region and the Chouf. In 1975, the
Christians comprised a good half of the population, a decade later about 1 per
cent. The Christians were expelled from the coastal strip in the first two years
of the war[4]. They were eradicated from certain areas and replaced by Muslims.
There were several wars between Christians and Muslims but the 1983 Mountain war
stands as the most significant war, which caused the death of thousands of
Christians and expelled them from the Mountain area.
At the end of the civil war in 1990, as Christian-Muslim relations improved,
many Christians started to return to their villages. The government even started
to financially aid them to renovate or build new houses.
The struggle with the Muslims caused the Christians to slowly surrender their
traditional hold of power and opted to emigrate seeking a better future.
The decline of the Christian power in Lebanon can be also traced to internal
divisions and infighting among the Christians themselves. The Phalanges saw that
the Maronite political pluralism ought perhaps to be tolerated, but the
community's military power had to be under one authority, and that authority had
to be theirs[5]. For this reason the Phalanges sought to break the independent
power of their two principal partners, the Franjiyya and the Liberal National
Party. The relations with Franjiyya worsened after they disagreed over relations
with Syria.
The Phalanges sought to expand their party organisation into Northern Lebanon
and to undermine the Franjiyya family's economic base by disputing Franjiyya's
right to raise levies in the heavily industrialised region around Chekka, South
of Tripoli[6]. Franjiyya responded to the challenge by killing the chief
Phalanges organiser, Jud Bayeh. The Phalanges retaliated by shelling Tony
Franjiyya's home in the village of Ehden, killing him and his immediate family
in June 1978[7]. Itamar Rabinovich questioned whether or not his assassination
had been planned; it is obvious that excessive brutality divided the Christian
camp[8]. Franjiyya accused Lebanese Forces of collaboration with Israel and
opted to side with Syria[9].
In 1980, Bashir Gemayel's militia destroyed the military infrastructure of the
Tigers, the National Liberal Party's militia, in the Beirut area. The Phalanges
sought to expand their mandate and their demographic and territorial bases by
becoming the representative authority for all Lebanese Christians not just the
Maronites[10].
On 31 January 1990, after the Lebanese forces announced its reluctant
endorsement of the Ta'if Accord, Michel Aoun had to consolidate his position
with his Christian constituency. He attempted to wrest control of the small
Christian area between Beirut and Jebail, but in the process inaugurated a
Christian civil war in January 1990[11]. Kail Ellis commented that the conflict
lasted until July of that year and ended without a clear-cut victory for
Aoun[12]. Before the fighting stopped in mid-March, nearly 750 civilians had
been killed and 3,000 wounded, but the Lebanese Forces continued to support the
new accord[13]. Ellis noted that the war had negative political consequences for
the Christian community and that it was estimated that the war had caused $1.2
billion in property damage[14].
Another reason for the decline of Christian influence in Lebanon is that not all
Christians shared the dream of a Christian state. For example, Christian members
of both Lebanese communists and the national progressive parties aimed for a
non-secular political system and called for the abolition of the religious based
political system. Theodore Hanf noted that the civil war between the Christian
communities had weakened them more than all the previous attacks of Lebanese and
foreign foes[15].
Christian relations with foreign powers have also contributed to their decline.
In the words of Lebanon's premier columnist, Ghassan Tueni, it was the others'
war. Lebanon was used as a battlefield for the ongoing clashes in the Middle
East and the superpower rivalries resulting from the cold war[16].
Eyal Zisser commented that stronger relations between Israel and the Lebanese
Maronite community inevitably led to the civil war in Lebanon in 1975[17]. Eyal
added that such relations were founded on the common belief that Jews and
Maronites must forge a strong alliance to ward off hostile Muslim-Arab
attacks[18].
Brenda Seaver outlined that without Palestinians; the Lebanese system might have
persisted:
At the very least, if the Palestinian problem had never existed, there would
have been more time for strong elites to emerge who could have dealt with the
difficulties of modernisation by carrying on the Shihab tradition of social
reforms and instituting moderate political reforms[19]
Brenda Seaver gave an accurate analysis of the Palestinians contribution to the
collapse of the Lebanese political system. The Palestinians might have tried to
turn Lebanon into an alternative permanent state, as compensation for their
homeland. The Palestinians' interference worsened the already tense relations
between Christians and Muslims. Despite the several episodic civil wars between
Muslims and Christians, the whole population had co-operated together for many
centuries.
Syria has also played a big role in the decline of the Christian's role in
Lebanon, despite its initial intervention militarily in their favour in 1976.
When in 1976, the Lebanese National Movement LMN that was fighting Christian
forces was about to gain victory over the Christian; the Syrians intervened,
explicitly stating that their reason for doing so was to help the
Christians[20].
Ghassan Hage explored the reasons behind Syria's help for the Christians in
1976:
Undoubtedly, however, it aimed to avoid the creation of a mini Christian state
that the Christians would have proclaimed in all likelihood in the areas that
remained under their control[21].
It is important to note that Syria helped the Christians to secure a foothold in
Lebanon. However, the Christian leaders, who governed Lebanon at the start of
the civil war, failed to predict the implication of Syria's initial friendly
intervention in Lebanon. Rex Brynen noted that the massive Syrian military
intervention in Lebanon served to Arabise the Lebanese civil war, substantially
shifting the conflict from its initial Lebanese social and political bases to
the broader regional arena[22].
The honeymoon between the Christians and the Syrians was short lived. Ghassan
Hage said that following Egyptian president Anwar Sadat's trip to Jerusalem, an
Israeli conceived peace plan (what became known as the
Begin plan') emerged allowing for a
role of the Christian Right, namely the Phalanges. They did not hesitate to grab
the opportunity and quickly turned against Syria[23].
On February 7, 1978 a limited armed confrontation between the Syrians and some
Christian elements of the Lebanese army took place. Soon after, this
confrontation developed into a full-scale war[24]. The Begin plan allowed Israel
to invade and stay in South Lebanon until a permanent solution prevented the
Palestinian guerrilla from returning[25]. Here, the Christians represented by
the Lebanese Front, took its most extremist stand on the Palestinian presence in
Lebanon and called for the elimination of the Palestinians armed presence[26].
Syria was furious at the Christians' apparent siding with Israel and so began
bombardment of the Christian quarters of Beirut[27].
Ghassan Hage presented the reasons for the Syrian aggression against the
Christians:
It was a reflection of the frustration of Syrian President Assad to see the
Christian rightists, whom he had basically saved, and whom he had attempted to
handle with the utmost care, move away from him with ease[28].
There was some notion in 1978 that Syria and the Muslims wanted to eradicate the
uniqueness of Lebanon and the Christian presence in it. This led Camille Chamoun
to call on the ”civilised world” to stop the Syrian bombardment of the Christian
area[29].
Christian civilians paid a high price for the political mistakes of their own
leaders. Those leaders did not foresee that Syria would demand full support for
its policies, which shifted again to support the Palestinian presence in the
South, something that is against the Christian's principle of a free Lebanon.
The civilians were bombed every time their leaders disagreed with Syria or the
Muslim militias, namely the Lebanese national movement.
The conflict was between Christians and Muslims, more precisely between
Christians in Libanon against Muslim Syria and and thousands of Iranian
revolutionary guards[Hezbollah]:
- the struggle for Lebanon was conducted between Maronite leaders in East Beirut
and Hafiz al-Asad in Damascus[30].
Following the end of the civil war in 1990, the political power of the
Christians declined even further. Alan George described how the Maronites were
marginalised:
- Their selective representation in the political hierarchy and the exile or
imprisonment of leading political figures[31].
The Christians' position declined even further, when a major ally of the past,
the United States, refrained from urging Syria to withdraw. In 1958, the United
States rushed to help president Camille Chamoun to quell a rebellion, which was
staged, by Muslims and followers of former Egyptian president Abdel Nasser.
Later, however, The United States abandoned its role in Lebanon, owing to the
fact that in 1983 the American embassy in Ain al-Mreisse was demolished by a
suicide bomb attack that killed more than 60 people[32]. Six months later,
suicide bombers made simultaneous attacks on the multinational force that
arrived a year earlier at the request of President Amin Gemayel. The results of
the attacks were devastating when 58 French paratroopers and 241 Americans
marines were killed. Finally the Americans pulled out of Lebanon.
The Christians in Lebanon felt uneasy about the United States failure to demand
Syria's withdrawal from Lebanon. Jose Navalpotro wrote that the United States
believed that the timetable for the Syrian withdrawal was a matter that should
be resolved between Damascus and Beirut[33]. He added that Washington does not
regard this question as an important issue in the overall stability of the
Middle East, or a pivotal matter to be resolved in the Arab-Israeli peace
process[34].
Christian Emigration from Lebanon, in large numbers, also contributed to the
decline of the Christian influence in Lebanon. Both Muslims and Christians fled
Lebanon, but far more Christians left. From a pre-war Lebanese population of
roughly 4 million, 500,000 of the 700,000 who emigrated were Christian. Just how
many Christians remain in Lebanon is in dispute. There are no official
population figures for Lebanon. Some estimate that about 1 million residents or
25 percent of the country are Christians. This figure is less than half of the
nearly 60 per cent majority of the early 1970s.
William Harris saw that Christian numbers declined in Lebanon as the years went
by[35].
1911 79% Christian
1921 55%
1932 51%
1943 52%
1970 42%
1990 35%
(2008 25%)
It is hard to see the Christians current decline in status to be reversed in the
view of Harris's statistics. It is very plausible that the number of Christians
will become negligible in 50 years and thus their presence in the Middle East
will be in jeopardy. Christians need to have the numbers in order to have a
legitimate claim to sharing power with the Muslims. Charles M.Sennott quoted a
Christian lawyer Nehmatalla Abi Nasr talking about the effect of Christian
migration:
"The Christians leave for opportunity in the West or to get away from the
war,'he says,'Then they lose more and more influence here, and then they are
increasingly afraid to return. This process feeds on itself."[36].
The migration of many Christians from Lebanon has indeed contributed to their
political decline in a nation, where they used to be the majority. The voluntary
migration adds to the fact that thousands and thousands of Christians died in a
war or faced expulsion from their own houses and lands. The Maronite patriarch,
Cardinal Nsrallah Boutrous Sfeir, complains stridently that an upsurge in
non-Christian immigration to Lebanon, coupled with the government's recent
decision to grant citizenship to a large number of Muslims, is weakening the
Christian voice in Lebanon,[37]
Chapter 7 - The End of the Lebanese Civil War and the Ta'if Agreement the ”last
straw”.
The Lebanese Civil war ended in 1990 following the defeat of the Lebanese Army
leader Aoun by Syria's intervened military. William Harris saw the collapse of
the autonomous Christian enclave of East Beirut as a blow to Christian power in
Lebanon[1].
The Christians had not just faced a traumatic end to their autonomy on 13 April,
but they had to face the consequences of the implementation of the Ta'if
agreement, which reduced their power in favour of the Muslims.
On the 30th of September 1989, the Arab League plan, hereafter referred to as
the Ta'if Accord, was signed in the resort city of Ta'if. The 62 Lebanese
members of Parliament, 85 percent of the surviving 73 members who met in Saudi
Arabia, included 31 Christian and 31 Muslim deputies[2]. Many Christians
considered that this agreement as the single event that sealed their downfall.
The agreement united the nation but failed to give the Christians the necessary
guarantee for their survival.
Following the Ta'if agreement, more ambitious Islamic leaders found an
opportunity to consolidate their political gains, and gradually eliminated the
Christian presence from the national government[3]. Catholic leaders were
against the new agreement. Jose Navalpotro wrote:
Cardinal Sfeir put the question in sharp relief. Without a strong Christian
presence in government, he asked, what would be the incentive to maintain an
independent Lebanon? And without a clear agreement with their Muslim neighbours,
how could a Christian minority in one small country expect to survive in
an"Islamic ocean?".
The Ta'if agreement emphasised three factors: Firstly, that the new preamble to
the constitution unequivocally stressed Lebanon's Arab identity and affiliation.
Secondly, that the new preamble should state that Lebanon's system should be
based on social justice and equality between all citizens in rights and duties
without any differentiation and preference. Thirdly it called for the abolition
of political sectarianism.
Sami Ofeish asserted that Ta'if addressed the causes of the Lebanese Civil
War[5]. Article 24 of the Ta'if accord presents the guidelines for the sectarian
distribution of seats in parliament. This article affirms that, until parliament
enacts non-sectarian electoral laws, parliamentary seats should be distributed
equally between Christians and Muslims[6]. Sami Ofeish commented that the
principles of sectarian "proportional representation" were not implemented
accurately in the past and they did not accommodate the demographic changes
showing Muslims as the numerical majority beginning in the 1960s[7].
The Ta'if ‘s agreement improved the position of the prime minister at the
expense of the President's traditional functions. According to article 64, the
Prime Minister is now the one who heads the government and acts as its
representative. The Parliamentary Speaker (A Shiite)'s term is extended to four
years instead of one as in the past according to article 44.
The Maronite-exclusive Presidency was rendered to be more symbolic. Sami Ofeish
wrote that despite the fact that the President is still the head of the state
(Article 49), his executive power lies mainly with the council of ministers
(Article 17), and the president shares the decision-making with the Prime
Minister and the council[8].
As we can clearly see, three Presidents rule Lebanon equally, the President of
the Republic, the President of Council of Ministers and the President of the
Chamber of Deputies. It is important to see that Ta'if reduced the Christian
political power in Lebanon in favour of the Muslims.
Christine Asmar saw that the Ta'if agreement did not provide any solutions to
the Lebanese political power:
Ta'if was also to have signalled a thaw in inter-confessional hostilities, but
instead it may have simply frozen animosities while facilitating the restoration
of a central government, leaving unresolved the vital issue of
inter-confessional relations, especially at the level of the "street[9].
One of the consequences of the Ta'if agreement was the signing of a treaty of
brotherhood, cooperation and coordination between Syria and Lebanon[10]. A
majority of Christians voiced their concern about the treaty. William Harris
commented on the Christian opposition to Ta'if:
Most Christians rejected the Ta'if regime, as they felt alienated both from
Christian participants in the government and from other Christian parties,
principally the Kata'ib and the LF, which had accepted the new order but
dissented on details[11].
Christians boycotted the first post Ta'if’s agreement election in 1992. Judith
Harik noted that the Lebanese Maronite community feared that a new parliament
would enact laws to end its privileged position in Lebanese society and
politics[12]. The Maronites wanted the Syrians out of Lebanon, and believed that
elections held before the Syrians departure might be unduly influenced by Syria
at their expense[13]. Judith Harik stated that the Christians boycotted the 1992
election, because they felt that the new parliament would not represent their
interests[14].
The Christians' fears were to become a reality when a pro Syrian President was
elected in 1993. The new parliaments after 1990 did not contain strong
nationalist Christians as before. In the last election of 2000, only a few
Christian nationalists were elected, in contrast to 1972 where most Christian
members of parliament were Christian nationalists.
The decline of the Christian political influence coincided with the economic
rise of the Muslims. Jose Navalpotro wrote:
Under Hariri's regime, the financial aid which is flowing into the country from
other Arabic nations is being directed toward institutions controlled by
Muslims[15].
The Christians long time financial superiority over Muslims has finally come to
an end. Other Arabic countries are financially aiding Muslim institutions.
Muslim wealth has doubled since the end of the civil war in 1990. It is no
secret that the current Prime Minister Rafic Hariri's private company Solidaire
owns the central business district of Beirut. Moreover, it tenders all
government major construction work. Muslim new wealth is channelling new
financial and political power for the Muslims. Moreover, the poor Shi'ite area
of the South is attracting more government and overseas developments.
Among the Christian leaders who remain active in Lebanon, there is a fervent
desire for new negotiations. That desire is based on the recognition that they
are rapidly losing their political influence. The principal institutions that
could offer them access to power are now closed to Christians, or at least offer
only the hope of a minor role.
Jose Navalpotro noted that there is an absence of strong Christian leadership.
He observed that the former Lebanese army commander Michel Aoun is in exile in
France, the former president Amin Gemayel was residing in the United States for
several years after the end of his presidency in 1988, and Dory Chamoun, who
succeeded his assassinated brother Danny, has been unable to mount the sort of
sustained and strategic action that would give a sense of new hope to his
followers[16]. The Gemayel family finally returned in 2000 and Amin Gemayel's
son Pierre was elected to the parliament in late 2000.
The absence of strong Christian leaders impedes the Christian community of
exercising a powerful influence as in the past. The decline of Christian
influence will even increase if there continues to be an absence of a strong
Christian leader who mobilises his community and enables it to survive. Another
important Christian leader, Samir Geagea, the leader of the Lebanese forces
militia, is currently in prison. Navalpotro wrote that in March 1994 the
government outlawed his Lebanese forces party, and arrested him. He was accused
of engineering the bombing of a Catholic church in Beirut and the assassination
of Danny Chamoun.
The Catholic bishops pointed out in their public denunciation of Geagea's
imprisonment that the government had produced no evidence to sustain the
charges[17]. Since the formal conclusion of the Lebanese civil war on October
13, 1990, many episodes have borne testimony to the steadily diminishing
influence of the Christians in Lebanon.
1990 October -
Danny Chamoun, the key leader among Maronite Christians, is assassinated, along
with his family.
1991 May -
Patriarch Sfeir denounces the Syria-Lebanon pact, saying that it compromises the
nation's sovereignty and undermines the "national pact" of 1943.
August-General Michel Aoun, the latest Christian leader to emerge as a national
power broker, is sent into exile in France, and prohibited from returning to
Lebanon for five years.
1992 September -
Catholics organise a boycott of legislative elections; between 70 and 85 percent
of all Catholics refuse to participate. One Christian deputy was elected by just
winning forty votes[18].
1993 May -
Anti-Catholic rioting breaks out in the region of Chouf. The bishops of Lebanon
speak out against the purchase of lands in Christian neighbourhoods, which they
point out is changing the demographic face of the nation.
June -
Three terrorists die in the premature explosion of a bomb they were preparing at
the site of a meeting of Orthodox and Catholic bishops
October -
Christian political leaders are the targets in a series of arrests; several are
taken to Damascus and held there.
December -
A Christian cemetery is desecrated in Mansourieh, an apparent warning to
Christians that they should not celebrate Christmas.
1994 February -
A bomb placed in a Catholic Church explodes during Mass, killing eight
worshippers; the terrorist act following several days after the massacre of
Muslims by an Israeli extremist in Hebron.
June -
Prime minister Hariri ordered the shut down of ICN television and the Nida'al
Watan daily newspaper after they expressed concerns by Christians over the prime
minister's land purchases in traditionally Christian areas[19].
July -
The Maronite bishops issued a new warning about the loss of equilibrium between
Christians and Muslims in the nation's government.
2000 January -
A group of Islamic militants stormed a Christian village killing one resident,
while engaging in fighting with the Lebanese Army.
September -
The Maronite Bishops' council called for the withdrawal of Syria from Lebanon,
thus voicing a Christian protest to such presence.
December -
Syria freed about 50 mostly Lebanese Christians political prisoners. However,
human rights groups have put the number of Lebanese political prisoners in
Syrian jails at anywhere between several hundred and several thousand[20].
2001 August -
The arrest of 200 Christian youths following their demands at a rally for a
Syrian withdrawal. The former advisor to Samir Geagea, Twefic Hindi, was
arrested as well as Aoun's representative Nadim Lteif. They were accused of
collaboration with Israel and treason.
September -
The Maronite Bishops'Council renewed its call for the withdrawal and asked
Christians not to leave the country.
October -
Two churches in Sidon and Tripoli were attacked, reinforcing the fact that
Christians are still finding it very hard to be optimistic about their safety in
their homeland.
2002 January -
The former commander of the Phalangist army (Lebanese Forces) and a former
minister Elie Hobaiqua was assassinated in Beirut along with his three
bodyguards.
Chapter 8 - Implication of the Christian's decline in Lebanon
The lessons of war had taught Christians that the Muslim power brokers in the
area .e.g Syria would not accept an establishment of a small Christian country.
Christians now hope that the Muslims will not take the opportunity and attack
them in a final assault to take total control of Lebanon.
The survival of the Christians will depend on their internal unity and on the
will of Muslims to allow the existence of a Christian minority in Lebanon. As
Christian numbers are falling in Lebanon, Muslims will always control the
destiny of Lebanon and its inhabitants, especially the Christians. One option
left for the Christians is to resist giving their remaining power to Muslims and
to increase the birth rate and remain in Lebanon. Marguerite Johnson was
optimistic of Christian survival:
The Christians may lose their predominant position, but whether in Beirut or
among the cedars of Mount Lebanon, they will undoubtedly retain the stubborn
will to survive that has made them both an asset and a menace to their Muslim
neighbours for twelve centuries[1].
There is evidence that Christians, still have the resolve to remain influential
in Lebanon. Charles Sennott said that the Maronite Patriarchate filed a suit
against the Hariri government's 1995 program that naturalised some 300,000
Muslims from Syria, Iraq and other countries[2]. The Patriarchate thought that
the move would further marginalise Christians in Lebanon[3].
Charles Sennott considered that the death of George Saade, leader of Lebanon's
Phalanges party, the largest Maronite political entity, symbolised the end of
the dominant role Christians have played in government[4]. This is an accurate
description of the current Christian status in Lebanon. A majority of Christians
are not optimistic of their survival in Lebanon-they simply wonder about what
sort of future they will have in Lebanon.
Epilogue
These are anxious days for Lebanon's Christian community, now less powerful and
privileged than at any time since the country was created. The Christian's
privileged status in Lebanon was challenged due to the demographic shift that
increasingly favoured the Muslims over them. Moreover, their status was
challenged by the rise of a radicalised Muslim intellectual class who were
supportive of a socio-political change and pan-Arabism[1].
Abbott Paul Naaman said that the Maronites today must follow in the footsteps of
all those who came before and worked for centuries to accomplish this
mission[2]. The remaining Christians in Lebanon ought to remember that they must
preserve Lebanon for their children. They just ought not to give more
concessions to Muslims without written guarantees. Christians need to be
represented by powerful Christian leaders.
Christians are now worried that Muslims, with their numerical advantage, will
persist in demanding more power. However, Antoine Najm noted that a Christian
scholar Reverend Jean Ducruet offers a solution for Christian problems[3].
Ducruet said that a new political system ought to be established in which all
confessions share in the making of national decisions and in which not one
confession can impose on the nation what is not acceptable to the tradition of
the other confession[4]. He added that a numerical majority is not compatible
with consensual democracy, which necessitates a coalition government and a
mutual veto on decisions that are seen as contrary to the vital interests of any
community5. It is a sensible proposal, which will protect Christians in Lebanon.
However, it is not expected that the Muslim majority will agree. They hope for
the abolishment of the sectarian system, so they can run the country completely.
By now, the cause of Christians is all but defunct, where their survival is
uncertain.

The Battle of Tours (October 10,
732), also called the Battle of Poitiers
and in Arabic: ”ma‘arakat Balâṭ
ash-Shuhadâ’) Battle of Court of The Martyrs, was fought in an area between the
cities of Poitiers and Tours, near the village of Moussais-la-Bataille (modern
Vouneuil-sur-Vienne) about 20km north of Poitiers. The location of the battle
was close to the border between the Frankish realm and then-independent
Aquitaine. The battle pitted Frankish and Burgundian forces under Austrasian
Mayor of the Palace Charles Martel against an army of the Umayyad Caliphate led
by ‘Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, Governor-general of al-Andalus. The Franks were
victorious, ‘Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi was killed, and Charles subsequently
extended his authority in the south. Ninth-century chroniclers, who interpreted
the outcome of the battle as divine judgment in his favour, gave Charles the
nickname Martellus ("The Hammer"). Details of the battle, including its exact
location and the exact number of combatants, cannot be determined from accounts
that have survived. Notably, the Frankish troops won the battle without cavalry.
As later chroniclers praised Charles Martel as the champion of Christianity,
pre-20th century historians began to characterise this battle as being the
decisive turning point in the struggle against Islam, a struggle which preserved
Christianity as the religion of Europe. "Most of the 18th and 19th century
historians, like Gibbon, saw Poitiers (Tours), as a landmark battle that marked
the high tide of the Muslim advance into Europe." Leopold von Ranke felt that
"Poitiers was the turning point of one of the most important epochs in the
history of the world."
While modern historians are divided and there is considerable disagreement as to
whether or not the victory was responsible — as Gibbon and his generation of
historians claimed, and which is echoed by many modern historians — for saving
Christianity and halting the conquest of Europe by Islam, there is little
dispute that the battle helped lay the foundations of the Carolingian Empire and
Frankish domination of Europe for the next century. "The establishment of
Frankish power in western Europe shaped that continent's destiny and the Battle
of Tours confirmed that power."
Background
The Battle of Tours followed twenty years of Umayyad conquests in Europe which
had begun with the invasion of the Visigothic Christian Kingdoms of the Iberian
peninsula in 711. These were followed by military expeditions into the Frankish
territories of Gaul, former provinces of the Roman Empire. Umayyad military
campaigns had reached northward into Aquitaine and Burgundy, including a major
engagement at Bordeaux and a raid on Autun. Charles' victory is widely believed
to have stopped the northward advance of Umayyad forces from the Iberian
peninsula, and to have preserved Christianity in Europe during a period when
Muslim rule was overrunning the remains of the old Roman and Persian Empires.
Most historians assume that the two armies met where the rivers Clain and Vienne
join between Tours and Poitiers. The number of troops in each army is not known.
Drawing on non-contemporary Muslim sources, Creasy describes the Umayyad forces
as 80,000 strong or more. Writing in 1999, Paul K. Davis estimates the Umayyad
forces at 80,000 and the Franks at about 30,000, while noting that modern
historians have estimated the strength of the Umayyad army at Tours at between
20–80,000. Edward J. Schoenfeld (rejecting the older figures of 60–400,000
Umayyad and 75,000 Franks) contends that "estimates that the Umayyads had over
fifty thousand troops (and the Franks even more) are logistically impossible."
Another modern military historian, Modern historians may be more accurate than
the medieval sources as the modern figures are based on estimates of the
logistical ability of the countryside to support these numbers of men and
animals. Both Davis and Hanson point out that both armies had to live off the
countryside, neither having a commissary system sufficient to provide supplies
for a campaign. Losses during the battle are unknown but chroniclers later
claimed that Charles Martel's force lost about 1,500 while the Umayyad force was
said to have suffered massive casualties of up to 375,000 men. However, these
same casualty figures were recorded in the
Liber pontificalis for Duke Odo of
Aquitaine's victory at the Battle of Toulouse (721). Paul the Deacon reported
correctly in his Historia Langobardorum
(written around the year 785) that the Liber pontificalis mentioned these
casualty figures in relation to Odo's victory at Toulouse (though he claimed
that Charles Martel fought in the battle alongside Odo), but later writers,
probably "influenced by the Continuations of Fredegar, attributed the
Saracen casualties solely to Charles Martel, and the battle in which they fell
became unequivocally that of Poitiers." The Vita Pardulfi, written in the
middle of the eighth century, reports that after the battle ‘Abd-al-Raḥmân's
forces burned and looted their way through the Limousin on their way back to
Al-Andalus, which implies that they were not destroyed to the extent imagined in
the Continuations of Fredegar.
The opponents
The invasion of Hispania, and then Gaul, was led by the Umayyad Dynasty, the
first dynasty of caliphs of the Islamic empire after the reign of the Four
Rightly Guided Caliphs (Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali) ended. The Umayyad
Caliphate, at the time of the Battle of Tours, was perhaps the world’s foremost
military power. Great expansion of the Caliphate occurred under the reign of the
Umayyads. Muslim armies pushed across North Africa and Persia through the late
600s; forces led by Tariq ibn-Ziyad crossed Gibraltar and established Muslim
power in the Iberian peninsula, while other armies established power far away in
Sind, in what is now the modern state of Pakistan. The Muslim empire under the
Umayyads was now a vast domain that ruled a diverse array of peoples. It had
destroyed what were the two former foremost military powers, the Sassanid
Empire, which it absorbed completely, and the Byzantine Empire, most of which it
had absorbed, including Syria, Armenia and North Africa, although Leo the
Isaurian successfully defended Anatolia at the Battle of Akroinon (739) in the
final campaign of the Umayyad dynasty.
The Frankish realm under Charles Martel was the foremost military power of
Western Europe. It consisted of what is today most of France (Austrasia,
Neustria and Burgundy), most of Western Germany, and the low countries. The
Frankish realm had begun to progress towards becoming the first real imperial
power in Western Europe since the fall of Rome, as it struggled against external
forces such as the Saxons, Frisians, and internal opponents such as Odo the
Great (Old French: Eudes), the Duke of Aquitaine.
Muslim conquests from Hispania
The Umayyad troops, under Al-Samh ibn Malik al-Khawlani, the governor-general of
al-Andalus, overran Septimania by 719, following their sweep up the Iberian
peninsula. Al-Samh set up his capital from 720 at Narbonne, which the Moors
called Arbūna. With the port of Narbonne secure, the Umayyads swiftly subdued
the largely unresisting cities of Alet, Béziers, Agde, Lodève, Maguelonne, and
Nîmes, still controlled by their Visigothic counts.
The Umayyad campaign into Aquitaine suffered a temporary setback at the Battle
of Toulouse (721), when Duke Odo of Aquitaine (also known as Eudes the Great)
broke the siege of Toulouse, taking Al-Samh ibn Malik's forces by surprise and
mortally wounding the governor-general Al-Samh ibn Malik himself. This defeat
did not stop incursions into old Roman Gaul, as Muslim forces, soundly based in
Narbonne and easily resupplied by sea, struck eastwards in the 720s, penetrating
as far as Autun in Burgundy in 725.
Threatened by both the Umayyads in the south and by the Franks in the north, in
730 Eudes allied himself with the Berber emir Uthman ibn Naissa, called "Munuza"
by the Franks, the deputy governor of what would later become Catalonia. As a
gage, and to seal the alliance, Uthman was given Eudes's daughter Lampade in
marriage, and Arab raids across the Pyrenees, Eudes's southern border, ceased.
However, the next year, Uthman rebelled against the governor of al-Andalus,
‘Abd-al-Raḥmân,
who quickly crushed the revolt and directed his attention against Eudes.
‘Abd-al-Raḥmân
had brought a huge force of Arab heavy cavalry and Berber light cavalry, plus
troops from all provinces of the Caliphate, in the Umayyad attempt at a conquest
of Europe north of the Pyrenees. According to one unidentified Arab,
"That army went through all places like a desolating storm." Duke Eudes
(called King by some), collected his army at Bordeaux, but was defeated, and
Bordeaux was plundered. The slaughter of Christians at the Battle of the River
Garonne was evidently horrific; the Mozarabic Chronicle of 754 commented,
"solus Deus numerum morientium vel pereuntium recognoscat", ("God alone
knows the number of the slain"). The Umayyad horsemen then utterly devastated
that portion of Gaul, their own histories saying the "faithful pierced through
the mountains, trampled over rough and level ground, plundered far into the
country of the Franks, and smote all with the sword, insomuch that when Eudo
came to battle with them at the River Garonne, he fled."
Eudes' appeal to the Franks
Eudes appealed to the Franks for assistance, which Charles Martel only granted
after Eudes agreed to submit to Frankish authority.
It appears as if the Umayyads were not aware of the true strength of the Franks.
The Umayyad forces were not particularly concerned about any of the Germanic
tribes, including the Franks, and the Arab Chronicles, the history of that age,
show that awareness of the Franks as a growing military power only came after
the Battle of Tours.
Further, the Umayyads appear not to have scouted northward for potential foes,
for if they had, they surely would have noted Charles Martel as a force to be
reckoned with in his own account, due to his thorough domination of Europe from
717: this might have alerted the Umayyads that a real power led by a gifted
general was rising in the ashes of the Western Roman Empire.
Advance toward the Loire
In 732, the Umayyad advance force was proceeding north toward the River Loire
having outpaced their supply train and a large part of their army. Essentially,
having easily destroyed all resistance in that part of Gaul, the invading army
had split off into several raiding parties, while the main body advanced more
slowly.
The Umayyad attack was likely so late in the year because many men and horses
needed to live off the land as they advanced; thus they had to wait until the
area's wheat harvest was ready and then until a reasonable amount of the harvest
was threshed (slowly by hand with flails) and stored. The further north, the
later the harvest is, and while the men could kill farm livestock for food,
horses cannot eat meat and needed grain as food. Letting them graze each day
would take too long, and interrogating natives to find where food stores were
kept would not work where the two sides had no common language.
A military explanation for why Eudes was defeated so easily at Bordeaux and at
the Battle of the River Garonne after having won 11 years earlier at the Battle
of Toulouse is simple. At Toulouse, Eudes managed a basic surprise attack
against an overconfident and unprepared foe, all of whose defensive works were
aimed inward, while he attacked from the outside. The Umayyad forces were mostly
infantry, and what cavalry they had never got a chance to mobilise and meet him
in open battle. As Herman de Carinthia wrote in one of his translations of a
history of al-Andalus, Eudes managed a highly successful encircling envelopment
which took the attackers totally by surprise — and the result was a chaotic
slaughter of the Muslim forces.
At Bordeaux, and again at the Battle of the River Garonne, the Umayyad forces
were cavalry, not infantry, and were not taken by surprise, and given a chance
to mass for battle, this led to the devastation of Eudes's army, almost all of
whom were killed with minimal losses to the Muslims. Eudes's forces, like other
European troops of that era, lacked stirrups, and therefore had no heavy
cavalry. Virtually all of their troops were infantry. The Umayyad heavy cavalry
broke the Christian infantry in their first charge, and then slaughtered them at
will as they broke and ran.
The invading force went on to devastate southern Gaul. A possible motive,
according to the second continuator of Fredegar, was the riches of the Abbey of
Saint Martin of Tours, the most prestigious and holiest shrine in Western Europe
at the time. Upon hearing this, Austrasia's Mayor of the Palace, Charles Martel,
collected his army and marched south, avoiding the old Roman roads and hoping to
take the Muslims by surprise. Because he intended to use a phalanx, it was
essential for him to choose the battlefield. His plan — to find a high wooded
plain, form his men and force the Muslims to come to him — depended on the
element of surprise.
Battle
Preparations and maneuver
From all accounts, the invading forces were caught entirely off guard to find a
large force, well disposed and prepared for battle, with high ground, directly
opposing their attack on Tours. Charles had achieved the total surprise he hoped
for. He then chose to begin the battle in a defensive, phalanx-like formation.
According to the Arabian sources, the Franks drew up in a large square, with the
trees and upward slope to break any cavalry charge.
For seven days, the two armies watched each other with minor skirmishes. The
Umayyads waited for their full strength to arrive, which it did, but they were
still uneasy. 'Abd-al-Raḥmân,
despite being a good commander, had managed to let Charles bring his army to
full strength and pick the location of the battle. Furthermore, it was difficult
for the Umayyads to judge the size of the army opposing them, since Charles had
used the trees and forest to make his force appear larger than it probably was.
Thus, 'Abd-al-Raḥmân
recalled all his troops, which did give him an even larger army — but it also
gave Charles time for more of his veteran infantry to arrive from the outposts
of his Empire. These infantry were all the hope for victory he had. Seasoned and
battle hardened, most of them had fought with him for years, some as far back as
717. Further, he also had levies of militia arrive, but the militia was
virtually worthless except for gathering food, and harassing the Muslims. Unlike
his infantry, which was both experienced and disciplined, the levies were
neither, and Charles had no intention of depending on them to stand firm against
cavalry charges (Most historians through the centuries have believed the Franks
were badly outnumbered at the onset of battle by at least 2-1.). Charles gambled
everything that ‘Abd-al-Raḥmân
would in the end feel compelled to battle, and to go on and loot Tours. Neither
of them wanted to attack - but Abd-al-Raḥmân
felt in the end obligated to sack Tours, which meant literally going through the
Frankish army on the hill in front of him. Charles's decision to wait in the end
proved crucial, as it forced the Umayyads to rush uphill, against the grade and
the woods, which in and of themselves negated a large part of the natural
advantages of a cavalry charge.
Charles had been preparing for this confrontation since Toulouse a decade
before. He was well aware that if he failed, no other Christian force remained
able to defend western Christianity. But Gibbon believes, as do most pre and
modern historians, that Charles had made the best of a bad situation. Though
outnumbered and depending on infantry, without heavy cavalry, Charles had a
tough, battle-hardened heavy infantry who believed in him implicitly. Morever,
as Davis points out, this infantry was heavily armed, each man carrying up to
perhaps 75 pounds of wood and iron armour into battle. Formed in a phalanx, they
were better able to resist a cavalry charge than might be conventionally
thought, especially as Charles had been able to secure them the high ground and
trees to further aid breaking such charges. Charles also had the element of
surprise, in addition to being allowed to pick the ground.
The Franks in their wolf and bear pelts were well dressed for the cold, and had
the terrain advantage. The Arabs were not as prepared for the intense cold of an
oncoming northern European winter, despite having tents, which the Franks did
not, but did not want to attack a Frankish army they believed may have been
numerically superior. Essentially, the Umayyads wanted the Franks to come out in
the open, while the Franks, formed in a tightly packed defensive formation,
wanted them to come uphill, into the trees, diminishing at once the advantages
of their cavalry. It was a waiting game which Charles won: the fight began on
the seventh day, as ‘Abd-al-Raḥmân
did not want to postpone the battle indefinitely with winter approaching.
Engagement
‘Abd-al-Raḥmân
trusted the tactical superiority of his cavalry, and had them charge repeatedly.
This time the faith the Umayyads had in their cavalry, armed with their long
lances and swords which had brought them victory in previous battles, was not
justified.
In one of the instances where medieval infantry stood up against cavalry
charges, the disciplined Frankish soldiers withstood the assaults, though
according to Arab sources, the Arab cavalry several times broke into the
interior of the Frankish square. "The Muslim horsemen dashed fierce and frequent
forward against the battalions of the Franks, who resisted manfully, and many
fell dead on either side."
Despite this, the Franks did not break. It appears that the years of year-round
training that Charles had bought with Church funds, paid off. His hard-trained
soldiery accomplished what was not thought possible at that time: infantry
withstood the Umayyad heavy cavalry. Paul Davis says the core of Charles's army
was a professional infantry which was both highly disciplined and well
motivated, "having campaigned with him all over Europe," buttressed by levies
that Charles basically used to raid and disrupt his enemy, and gather food for
his infantry. The Mozarabic Chronicle
of 754 says:
"And in the shock of the battle the men of the North seemed like a sea that
cannot be moved. Firmly they stood, one close to another, forming as it were a
bulwark of ice; and with great blows of their swords they hewed down the Arabs.
Drawn up in a band around their chief, the people of the Austrasians carried all
before them. Their tireless hands drove their swords down to the breasts of the
foe."
The battle turns
Those Umayyad troops who had broken into the square had tried to kill Charles,
but his liege men surrounded him and would not be broken. The battle was still
in flux when Frankish histories claim that a rumour went through the Umayyad
army that Frankish scouts threatened the booty that they had taken from
Bordeaux. Some of the Umayyad troops at once broke off the battle and returned
to camp to secure their loot. According to Muslim accounts of the battle, in the
midst of the fighting on the second day (Frankish accounts have the battle
lasting one day only), scouts from the Franks sent by Charles began to raid the
camp and supply train (including slaves and other plunder).
Charles supposedly had sent scouts to cause chaos in the Umayyad base camp, and
free as many of the slaves as possible, hoping to draw off part of his foe. This
succeeded, as many of the Umayyad cavalry returned to their camp. To the rest of
the Muslim army, this appeared to be a full-scale retreat, and soon it became
one. Both Western and Muslim histories agree that while trying to stop the
retreat, ‘Abd-al-Raḥmân
became surrounded, which led to his death, and the Umayyad troops then withdrew
altogether to their camp. "All the host fled before the enemy", candidly wrote
one Arabic source, "and many died in the flight". The Franks resumed their
phalanx, and rested in place through the night, believing the battle would
resume at dawn the following morning.
Following day
The next day, when the Umayyad forces did not renew the battle, the Franks
feared an ambush. Charles at first believed that the Umayyad forces were trying
to lure him down the hill and into the open. This tactic he knew he had to
resist at all costs; he had in fact disciplined his troops for years to under no
circumstances break formation and come out in the open. (See the Battle of
Hastings for the results of infantry being lured into the open by armoured
cavalry.) Only after extensive reconnaissance of the Umayyad camp by Frankish
soldiers — which by both historical accounts had been so hastily abandoned that
even the tents remained, as the Umayyad forces headed back to Iberia with what
loot remained that they could carry — was it discovered that the Muslims had
retreated during the night.
Given the disparity between the armies, in that the Franks were mostly infantry,
against Berber cavalry and armoured or mailed Arab horsemen (the Berbers were
less heavily protected), Charles Martel fought a brilliant defensive battle. In
a place and time of his choosing, he met a far superior force, and defeated it.
Contemporary accounts
The Mozarabic Chronicle
of 754 "describes the battle in greater detail than any other Latin or Arabic
source". It says of the encounter that,
While Abd ar-Rahman was pursuing Eudes, he decided to despoil Tours by
destroying its palaces and burning its churches. There he confronted the consul
of Austrasia by the name of Charles, a man who, having proved himself to be a
warrior from his youth and an expert in things military, had been summoned by
Eudes. After each side had tormented the other with raids for almost seven days,
they finally prepared their battle lines and fought fiercely. The northern
peoples remained as immobile as a wall, holding together like a glacier in the
cold regions. In the blink of an eye, they annihilated the Arabs with the sword.
The people of Austrasia, greater in number of soldiers and formidably armed,
killed the king, Abd ar-Rahman, when they found him, striking him on the chest.
But suddenly, within sight of the countless tents of the Arabs, the Franks
despicably sheathed their swords postponing the fight until the next day since
night had fallen during the battle. Rising from their own camp at dawn, the
Europeans saw the tents and canopies of the Arabs all arranged just as they had
appeared the day before. Not knowing that they were empty and thinking that
inside them there were Saracen forces ready for battle, they sent officers to
reconnoitre and discovered that all the Ishmaelite troops had left. They had
indeed fled silently by night in tight formation, returning to their own
country.
Wolf (trans), Chronicle of 754, p. 145
Charles Martel's family composed, for the fourth book of the
Continuations of Fredegar's Chronicle,
a stylised summary of the battle:
Prince Charles boldly drew up his battle lines against them [the Arabs] and the
warrior rushed in against them. With Christ's help he overturned their tents,
and hastened to battle to grind them small in slaughter. The king Abdirama
having been killed, he destroyed [them], driving forth the army, he fought and
won. Thus did the victor triumph over his enemies.
Fouracre,Continuations of Fredegar,
p. 149
This source details further that "he (Charles Martel) came down upon them like a
great man of battle". It goes on to say Charles "scattered them like the
stubble".
The references to "rushing in" and "overturning their tents" may allude to the
phraseology of the Book of Numbers, chapter 24, "where the Spirit of God 'rushed
in' to the tents of Israel." The Latin word used for "warrior", belligerator,
"is also biblical, from the Book of Maccabees, chapters 15 and 16, which
describe huge battles.
It is thought that Bede's Historiam
Ecclesiasticam Gentis Anglorum (Chapter XXIII) includes a reference to the
Battle of Poitiers: "...a dreadful plague of Saracens ravaged France with
miserable slaughter, but they not long after in that country received the
punishment due to their wickedness".
Strategic analysis
‘Abd-al-Raḥmân
was a good general and should have done two things he failed to do. Gibbon makes
the point that he did not move at once against Charles Martel, was surprised by
him at Tours as Charles had marched over the mountains avoiding the roads to
surprise the Muslim invaders, and thus the wily Charles selected the time and
place they would collide:
- ‘Abd-al-Raḥmân
either assumed that the Franks would not come to the aid of their Aquitanian
rivals, or did not care, and he thus failed to assess their strength before
invasion.
- He failed to scout the movements of the Frankish army, and Charles Martel.
Having done either, he would have curtailed his lighthorse ravaging throughout
lower Gaul, and marched at once with his full power against the Franks. This
strategy would have nullified every advantage Charles had at Tours:
The invaders would have not been burdened with booty that played such a huge
role in the battle.
They would have not lost one warrior in the battles they fought before Tours.
(Though they lost relatively few men in overrunning Aquitaine, they suffered
some casualties, losses that may have been pivotal at Tours).
They would have bypassed weaker opponents such as Eudes, whom they could have
picked off at will later, while moving at once to force battle with the real
power in Europe, and at least partially picked the battlefield.
While some military historians point out that leaving enemies in your rear is
not generally wise, the Mongols proved that indirect attack, and bypassing
weaker foes to eliminate the strongest first, is a devastatingly effective mode
of invasion. In this case, those enemies were virtually no danger, given the
ease with which the Muslims destroyed them. The real danger was Charles, and the
failure to scout Gaul adequately was disastrous.
According to Creasy, the Muslims' best strategic choice would have been to
simply decline battle, depart with their loot, garrisoning the captured towns in
southern Gaul, and return when they could force Charles to a battleground more
to their liking, one that maximised the huge advantage they had in their mailed
and armoured horsemen. It might have been different, however, had the Muslim
forces remained under control. Both western and Muslim histories agree the
battle was hard fought, and that the Umayyad heavy cavalry had broken into the
square, but agreed that the Franks were in formation still strongly resisting.
Charles could not afford to stand idly by while Frankish territories were
threatened. He would have to face the Umayyad armies sooner or later, and his
men were enraged by the utter devastation of the Aquitanians and wanted to
fight. But Sir Edward Creasy noted that:
when we remember that Charles had no standing army, and the independent spirit
of the Frank warriors who followed his standard, it seems most probable that it
was not in his power to adopt the cautious policy of watching the invaders, and
wearing out their strength by delay. So dreadful and so widespread were the
ravages of the Saracenic light cavalry throughout Gaul, that it must have been
impossible to restrain for any length of time the indignant ardor of the Franks.
And, even, if Charles could have persuaded his men to look tamely on while the
Arabs stormed more towns and desolated more districts, he could not have kept an
army together when the usual period of a military expedition had expired.
Both Hallam and Watson argue that had Charles failed, there was no remaining
force to protect Western Europe. Hallam perhaps said it best: "It may justly be
reckoned among those few battles of which a contrary event would have
essentially varied the drama of the world in all its subsequent scenes: with
Marathon, Arbela, the Metaurus, Châlons and Leipzig."
Strategically, and tactically, Charles probably made the best decision he could
in waiting until his enemies least expected him to intervene, and then marching
by stealth to catch them by surprise at a battlefield of his choosing. Probably
he and his own men did not realise the seriousness of the battle they had
fought, as Matthew Bennett and his co-authors, in
Fighting Techniques of the Medieval World
(2005) says: "few battles are remembered 1,000 years after they are fought
[...] but the Battle of Tours is an exception [...] Charles Martel turned back a
Muslim raid that had it been allowed to continue, might have conquered Gaul."
Aftermath
Umayyad retreat and second invasion
The Umayyad army retreated south over the Pyrenees. Charles continued to drive
the Umayyad forces from France in subsequent years. After the death (c. 735) of
Eudes, who had reluctantly acknowledged Charles' suzerainty in 719, Charles
wished to unite Eudes's Duchy to himself, and went there to elicit the proper
homage of the Aquitainians. But the nobility proclaimed Hunold, Eudes' son, as
the Duke, and Charles recognised his legitimacy when the Umayyads entered
Provence as part of an alliance with Duke Maurontus the next year. Hunold, who
originally resisted acknowledging Charles as overlord, soon had little choice.
He acknowledged Charles at once as his overlord, and Charles confirmed his
Duchy, and the two prepared to confront the invaders. Charles believed it was
vital to confine the Umayyad forces to Iberia and deny them any foothold in
Gaul, a view many historians share. Therefore he marched at once against the
invaders, defeating one army outside Arles, which he took by storm and razed the
city, and defeated the primary invasion force at the Battle of the River Berre,
outside Narbonne.
Advance to Narbonne
Despite this, the Umayyads remained in control of Narbonne and Septimania for
another 27 years, though they could not expand further. The treaties reached
earlier with the local population stood firm and were further consolidated in
734 when the governor of Narbonne, Yusuf ibn 'Abd al-Rahman al-Fihri, concluded
agreements with several towns on common defence arrangements against the
encroachments of Charles Martel, who had systematically brought the south to
heel as he extended his domains. He destroyed Umayyad armies and fortresses at
the Battle of Avignon and the Battle of Nimes. The army attempting to relieve
Narbonne met him in open battle at the Battle of the River Berre and was
destroyed, but Charles failed in his attempt to take Narbonne by siege in 737,
when the city was jointly defended by its Muslim Arab and Berber, and its
Christian Visigothic citizens.
Carolingian dynasty
Reluctant to tie down his army for a siege that could last years, and believing
he could not afford the losses of an all-out frontal assault such as he had used
at Arles, Charles was content to isolate the few remaining invaders in Narbonne
and Septimania. The threat of invasion was diminished after the Umayyad defeat
at Narbonne, and the unified Caliphate would collapse into civil war in 750 at
the Battle of the Zab. It was left to Charles' son, Pippin the Short, to force
Narbonne's surrender in 759, thus bringing Narbonne into the Frankish domains.
The Umayyad dynasty was expelled, driven back to Al-Andalus where Abd ar-Rahman
I established an emirate in Cordoba in opposition to the Abbasid Caliph in
Baghdad. The threat posed by the Arab heavy cavalry also receded as the
Christians copied the Arab model in developing similar forces of their own,
giving rise to the familiar figure of the western European medieval armoured
knight.
Charles's grandson, Charlemagne, became the first Christian ruler to begin what
would be called the Reconquista from Europe. In the northeast of Spain the
Frankish emperors established the Marca Hispanica across the Pyrenees in part of
what today is Catalonia, reconquering Girona in 785 and Barcelona in 801. This
formed a buffer zone against Muslim lands across the Pyrenees. Historian J.M.
Roberts said in 1993 of the Carolingian Dynasty:
"It produced Charles Martel, the soldier who turned the Arabs back at Tours, and
the supporter of Saint Boniface the Evangeliser of Germany. This is a
considerable double mark to have left on the history of Europe."
The last Umayyad invasions of Gaul
In 735, the new governor of al-Andalus again invaded Gaul. Antonio Santosuosso
and other historians detail how the new governor of Al-Andalus, 'Uqba b.
Al-Hajjaj, again moved into France to avenge the defeat at Poitiers and to
spread Islam. Santosuosso notes that 'Uqba b. Al-Hajjaj converted about 2,000
Christians he captured over his career. In the last major attempt at forcible
invasion of Gaul through Iberia, a sizable invasion force was assembled at
Saragossa and entered what is now French territory in 735, crossed the River
Rhone and captured and looted Arles. From there, he struck into the heart of
Provence, ending with the capture of Avignon, despite strong resistance. Uqba b.
Al-Hajjaj's forces remained in French territory for about four years, carrying
raids to Lyons, Burgundy, and Piedmont. Again Charles Martel came to the rescue,
reconquering most of the lost territories in two campaigns in 736 and 739,
except for the city of Narbonne, which finally fell in 759. Alessandro
Santosuosso strongly argues that the second (Umayyad) expedition was probably
more dangerous than the first. The second expedition's failure put an end to any
serious Muslim expedition across the Pyrenees, although raids continued. Plans
for further large-scale attempts were hindered by internal turmoil in the
Umayyad lands which often made enemies out of their own kind.
Historical and macrohistorical views
The historical views of this battle fall into three great phases, both in the
East and especially in the West. Western historians, beginning with the
Mozarabic Chronicle of 754, stressed the macrohistorical impact of the battle,
as did the Continuations of Fredegar. This became a claim that Charles had
literally saved Christianity, as Gibbon and his generation of historians agreed
that the Battle of Tours was unquestionably decisive in world history.
Modern historians have essentially fallen into two camps on the issue. The first
camp essentially agrees with Gibbon, and the other argues that the Battle has
been massively overstated, turned from a raid in force to an invasion, and from
a mere annoyance to the Caliph to a shattering defeat that helped end the
Islamic Expansion Era. It is essential however, to note that within the first
group, those who agree the Battle was of macrohistorical importance, there are a
number of historians who take a more moderate and nuanced approach to supporting
the battle's importance, rather than the more dramatic rhetoric of Gibbon. The
best example of this school is William E. Watson, who does believe the battle
has such importance, as will be specifically discussed below, but analyzes it
militarily, culturally and politically, rather than seeing it as a classic
"Muslim versus Christian" confrontation.
In the East, Arab histories followed a similar path. First, the battle was
regarded as a disastrous defeat, then it faded essentially from Arab histories,
leading to a modern dispute which regards it as either a secondary loss to the
great defeat of the Second Siege of Constantinople or a part of a series of
great macrohistorical defeats which together brought about the fall of the first
Caliphate. Essentially, many modern Muslim scholars argue that the first
Caliphate was a jihadist state which could not withstand an end to its constant
expansion. With the Byzantines and
Franks both successfully blocking further expansion, internal social troubles
came to a head, starting with the Great Berber Revolt of 740, and ending with
the Battle of the Zab, and the destruction of the Umayyad Caliphate.
In Western history
The first wave of real "modern" historians, especially scholars on Rome and the
medieval period, such as Edward Gibbon, contended that had Charles fallen, the
Umayyad Caliphate would have easily conquered a divided Europe. Gibbon famously
observed:
A victorious line of march had been prolonged above a thousand miles from the
rock of Gibraltar to the banks of the Loire; the repetition of an equal space
would have carried the Saracens to the confines of Poland and the Highlands of
Scotland; the Rhine is not more impassable than the Nile or Euphrates, and the
Arabian fleet might have sailed without a naval combat into the mouth of the
Thames. Perhaps the interpretation of the Koran would now be taught in the
schools of Oxford, and her pulpits might demonstrate to a circumcised people the
sanctity and truth of the revelation of Mahomet.
Nor was Gibbon alone in lavishing praise on Charles as the savior of
Christiandom and western civilisation. H.G. Wells in his
A Short History of the World said in
Chapter XLV "The Development of Latin Christendom:"
The Moslim when they crossed the Pyrenees in 720 found this Frankish kingdom
under the practical rule of Charles Martel, the Mayor of the Palace of a
degenerate descendant of Clovis, and experienced the decisive defeat of Poitiers
(732) at his hands. This Charles Martel was practically overlord of Europe north
of the Alps from the Pyrenees to Hungary. He ruled over a multitude of
subordinate lords speaking French-Latin, and High and Low German languages.
Gibbon was echoed a century later by the Belgian historian Godefroid Kurth, who
wrote that the Battle of Poitiers "must ever remain one of the great events in
the history of the world, as upon its issue depended whether Christian
Civilisation should continue or Islam prevail throughout Europe."
German historians were especially ardent in their praise of Charles Martel;
Schlegel speaks of this "mighty victory", and tells how "the arm of Charles
Martel saved and delivered the Christian nations of the West from the deadly
grasp of all-destroying Islam." Creasy quotes Leopold von Ranke's opinion that
this period was:
One of the most important epochs in the history of the world, the commencement
of the eighth century, when on the one side Mohammedanism threatened to
overspread Italy and Gaul, and on the other the ancient idolatry of Saxony and
Friesland once more forced its way across the Rhine. In this peril of Christian
institutions, a youthful prince of Germanic race, Karl Martell, arose as their
champion, maintained them with all the energy which the necessity for
self-defence calls forth, and finally extended them into new regions.
The German military historian Hans Delbruck said of this battle "there was no
more important battle in the history of the world." (The Barbarian Invasions,
page 441.) Had Charles Martel failed, Henry Hallam argued, there would have been
no Charlemagne, no Holy Roman Empire or Papal States; all these depended upon
Charles's containment of Islam from expanding into Europe while the Caliphate
was unified and able to mount such a conquest. Another great mid era historian,
Thomas Arnold, ranked the victory of Charles Martel even higher than the victory
of Arminius in its impact on all of modern history: "Charles Martel's victory at
Tours was among those signal deliverances which have affected for centuries the
happiness of mankind." Louis Gustave and Charles Strauss in Moslem and Frank;
or, Charles Martel and the rescue of Europe said "The victory gained was
decisive and final, The torrent of Arab conquest was rolled back and Europe was
rescued from the threatened yoke of the Saracens." (page 122)
Charles Oman, in his History of the Art
of War in the Middle Ages, concludes that:
At Poitiers the Franks fought as they had done two hundred years before at
Casilinum, in one solid mass, without breaking rank or attempting to maneuver.
Their victory was won by the purely defensive tactics of the infantry square;
the fanatical Arabs, dashing against them time after time, were shattered to
pieces, and at last fled under shelter of night. But there was no pursuit, for
Charles had determined not to allow his men to stir a step from the line to
chase the broken foe. [I, 58]
Adolf Hitler says in Hitler's Table Talk
(August 28, 1942, midday):
Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers -already, you see, the world
had already fallen into the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing Christianity!
-then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism, that
cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the
bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world.
Christianity alone prevented them from doing so."
John H. Haaren says in Famous Men of the
Middle Ages:
The battle of Tours, or Poitiers, as it should be called, is regarded as one of
the decisive battles of the world. It decided that Christians, and not Moslems,
should be the ruling power in Europe. Charles Martel is especially celebrated as
the hero of this battle.” John Bagnell Bury, writing at the beginning of the
20th century, said "The Battle of Tours… has often been represented as an event
of the first magnitude for the world’s history, because after this, the
penetration of Islam into Europe was finally brought to a standstill.
But, as will be seen below, today’s historians are very clearly divided on the
importance of the battle, and where it should rank in the signal moments of
military history.
In Muslim history
Eastern historians, like their Western counterparts, have not always agreed on
the importance of the battle. According to Bernard Lewis, "The Arab historians,
if they mention this engagement [the Battle of Tours] at all, present it as a
minor skirmish," and Gustave von Grunebaum writes: "This setback may have been
important from the European point of view, but for Muslims at the time, who saw
no master plan imperilled thereby, it had no further significance." Contemporary
Arab and Muslim historians and chroniclers were much more interested in the
second Umayyad siege of Constantinople in 718, which ended in a disastrous
defeat.
However, Creasy has claimed: "The enduring importance of the battle of Tours in
the eyes of the Moslems is attested not only by the expressions of 'the deadly
battle' and 'the disgraceful overthrow' which their writers constantly employ
when referring to it, but also by the fact that no more serious attempts at
conquest beyond the Pyrenees were made by the Saracens."
Thirteenth-century Moroccan author Ibn Idhari al-Marrakushi, mentioned the
battle in his history of the Maghrib, "al-Bayan al-Mughrib fi Akhbar
al-Maghrib." According to Ibn Idhari, "Abd ar-Rahman and many of his men
found martyrdom on the balat ash-Shuhada'i ("the path of the martyrs)." Antonio
Santosuosso points out in his book Barbarians, Marauders and Infidels: The
Ways of Medieval Warfare, on p. 126 "they (the Muslims) called the battle's
location, the road between Poitiers and Tours, "the pavement of Martyrs."
However, as Henry Coppée has explained, "The same name was given to the battle
of Toulouse and is applied to many other fields on which the Moslemah were
defeated: they were always martyrs for the faith"
Khalid Yahya Blankinship has argued that the military defeat at Tours was
amongst one of the failures that contributed to the decline of the Umayyad
caliphate: "Stretching from Morocco to China, the Umayyad caliphate based its
expansion and success on the doctrine of jihad--armed struggle to claim the
whole earth for God's rule, a struggle that had brought much material success
for a century but suddenly ground to a halt followed by the collapse of the
ruling Umayyad dynasty in 750 AD. The End of the Jihad State demonstrates for
the first time that the cause of this collapse came not just from internal
conflict, as has been claimed, but from a number of external and concurrent
factors that exceeded the caliphate's capacity to respond. These external
factors began with crushing military defeats at Byzantium, Toulouse and Tours,
which led to the Great Berber Revolt of 740 in Iberia and Northern Africa."
Current historical debate on macrohistorical impact of Battle of Tours
Some modern historians argue that the Battle of Tours was of no great historical
significance while others continue to contend that Charles Martel's victory was
important in European or even world history.
Supporting the significance of Tours as a world-altering event
William E. Watson, strongly supports Tours as a macrohistorical event, but
distances himself from the rhetoric of Gibbons and Drubeck, writing, for
example, of the battle's importance in Frankish, and world, history in 1993:
There is clearly some justification for ranking Tours-Poitiers among the most
significant events in Frankish history when one considers the result of the
battle in light of the remarkable record of the successful establishment by
Muslims of Islamic political and cultural dominance along the entire eastern and
southern rim of the former Christian, Roman world. The rapid Muslim conquest of
Palestine, Syria, Egypt and the North African coast all the way to Morocco in
the seventh century resulted in the permanent imposition by force of Islamic
culture onto a previously Christian and largely non-Arab base. The Visigothic
kingdom fell to Muslim conquerors in a single battle on the Rio Barbate in 711,
and the Hispanic Christian population took seven long centuries to regain
control of the Iberian peninsula. The Reconquista, of course, was completed in
1492, only months before Columbus received official backing for his fateful
voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. Had Charles Martel suffered at Tours-Poitiers
the fate of King Roderick at the Rio Barbate, it is doubtful that a "do-nothing"
sovereign of the Merovingian realm could have later succeeded where his talented
major domus had failed. Indeed, as Charles was the progenitor of the Carolingian
line of Frankish rulers and grandfather of Charlemagne, one can even say with a
degree of certainty that the subsequent history of the West would have proceeded
along vastly different currents had ‘Abd ar-Rahman been victorious at
Tours-Poitiers in 732.
Watson adds, "After examining the motives for the Muslim drive north of the
Pyrenees, one can attach a macrohistorical significance to the encounter between
the Franks and Andalusi Muslims at Tours-Poitiers, especially when one considers
the attention paid to the Franks in Arabic literature and the successful
expansion of Muslims elsewhere in the medieval period."
Victorian writer John Henry Haaren says in Famous Men of the Middle Ages,
"The battle of Tours, or Poitiers, as it should be called, is regarded as one of
the decisive battles of the world. It decided that Christians, and not Moslems,
should be the ruling power in Europe." Bernard Grun delivers this
assessment in his "Timetables of History," reissued in 2004: "In 732 Charles
Martel's victory over the Arabs at the Battle of Tours stems the tide of their
westward advance.”
Historian and humanist Michael Grant lists the battle of Tours in the
macrohistorical dates of the Roman era. Historian Norman Cantor who specialised
in the medieval period, teaching and writing at Columbia and New York
University, says in 1993: "It may be true that the Arabs had now fully extended
their resources and they would not have conquered France, but their defeat (at
Tours) in 732 put a stop to their advance to the north."
Military historian Robert W. Martin considers Tours "one of the most decisive
battles in all of history." Additionally, historian Hugh Kennedy says "it was
clearly significant in establishing the power of Charles Martel and the
Carolingians in France, but it also had profound consequences in Muslim Spain.
It signaled the end of the ghanima (booty) economy."
Military Historian Paul Davis argued in 1999, "had the Muslims been victorious
at Tours, it is difficult to suppose what population in Europe could have
organised to resist them." Likewise, George Bruce in his update of
Harbottle's classic military history Dictionary of Battles maintains that
"Charles Martel defeated the Moslem army effectively ending Moslem attempts to
conquer western Europe."
Antonio Santosuosso puts forth an interesting modern opinion on Charles, Tours,
and the subsequent campaigns against Rahman's son in 736-737. Santosuosso
presents a compelling case that these later defeats of invading Muslim armies
were at least as important as Tours in their defence of Western Christendom and
the preservation of Western monasticism, the monasteries of which were the
centers of learning which ultimately led Europe out of her Middle Ages. He also
makes a compelling argument, after studying the Arab histories of the period,
that these were clearly armies of invasion, sent by the Caliph not just to
avenge Tours, but to begin the conquest of Christian Europe and bring it into
the Caliphate.
Objecting to the significance of Tours as a world-altering event
Other historians disagree with this assessment. Alessandro Barbero writes,
"Today, historians tend to play down the significance of the battle of Poitiers,
pointing out that the purpose of the Arab force defeated by Charles Martel was
not to conquer the Frankish kingdom, but simply to pillage the wealthy monastery
of St-Martin of Tours". Similarly, Tomaž Mastnak writes:
Modern historians have constructed a myth presenting this victory as having
saved Christian Europe from the Muslims. Edward Gibbon, for example, called
Charles Martel the savior of Christendom and the battle near Poitiers an
encounter that changed the history of the world... This myth has survived well
into our own times... Contemporaries of the battle, however, did not overstate
its significance. The continuators of Fredegar's chronicle, who probably wrote
in the mid-eighth century, pictured the battle as just one of many military
encounters between Christians and Saracens - moreover, as only one in a series
of wars fought by Frankish princes for booty and territory... One of Fredegar's
continuators presented the battle of Poitiers as what it really was: an episode
in the struggle between Christian princes as the Carolingians strove to bring
Aquitaine under their rule.
The Christian Lebanese-American historian Philip Hitti believes that "In reality
nothing was decided on the battlefield of Tours. The Moslem wave, already a
thousand miles from its starting point in Gibraltar - to say nothing about its
base in al-Qayrawan - had already spent itself and reached a natural limit."
The view that the battle has no great significance is perhaps best summarised by
Franco Cardini says in Europe and Islam:
Although prudence needs to be exercised in minimising or 'demythologising' the
significance of the event, it is no longer thought by anyone to have been
crucial. The 'myth' of that particular military engagement survives today as a
media cliché, than which nothing is harder to eradicate. It is well known how
the propaganda put about by the Franks and the papacy glorified the victory that
took place on the road between Tours and Poitiers...
In their introduction to The Reader's Companion to Military History Robert
Cowley and Geoffrey Parker summarise this side of the modern view of the Battle
of Tours by saying “The study of military history has undergone drastic changes
in recent years. The old drums-and-bugles approach will no longer do. Factors
such as economics, logistics, intelligence, and technology receive the attention
once accorded solely to battles and campaigns and casualty counts. Words like
"strategy" and "operations" have acquired meanings that might not have been
recognizable a generation ago. Changing attitudes and new research have altered
our views of what once seemed to matter most. For example, several of the
battles that Edward Shepherd Creasy listed in his famous 1851 book The Fifteen
Decisive Battles of the World rate hardly a mention here, and the confrontation
between Muslims and Christians at Poitiers-Tours in 732, once considered a
watershed event, has been downgraded to a raid in force."
Conclusion
A number of modern historians and writers in other fields agree with Watson, and
continue to maintain that this Battle was one of history's pivotal events.
Professor of religion Huston Smith says in The World's Religions: Our Great
Wisdom Traditions "But for their defeat by Charles Martel in the Battle of
Tours in 733, the entire Western world might today be Muslim." Historian Robert
Payne on page 142 in "The History of Islam" said "The more powerful
Muslims and the spread of Islam were knocking on Europe’s door. And the spread
of Islam was stopped along the road between the towns of Tours and Poitiers,
France, with just its head in Europe."
Popular conservative military historian Victor Davis Hanson shares his view
about the battle's macrohistorical placement:
Recent scholars have suggested Poitiers, so poorly recorded in contemporary
sources, was a mere raid and thus a construct of western mythmaking or that a
Muslim victory might have been preferable to continued Frankish dominance. What
is clear is that Poitiers marked a general continuance of the successful defence
of Europe, (from the Muslims). Flush from the victory at Tours, Charles Martel
went on to clear southern France from Islamic attackers for decades, unify the
warring kingdoms into the foundations of the Carolingian Empire, and ensure
ready and reliable troops from local estates."
Paul Davis, another modern historian who addresses both sides in the debate over
whether or not this Battle truly determined the direction of history, as Watson
claims, or merely was a relatively minor raid, as Cardini writes, says "whether
Charles Martel saved Europe for Christianity is a matter of some debate. What is
sure, however, is that his victory ensured that the Franks would dominate Gaul
for more than a century."
The Battle of Vienna, Turkish:
İkinci Viyana Kuşatması), took place on 11 and 12 September, 1683 after Vienna
had been besieged by the Ottoman Empire for two months. The battle broke the
advance of the Ottoman Empire into Europe, and marked the political hegemony of
the Habsburg dynasty in Central Europe.
The large-scale battle was won by Polish-Austrian-German forces led by King of
Poland John III Sobieski against the Ottoman Empire army commanded by Grand
Vizier Merzifonlu Kara Mustafa Pasha.
The siege itself began on 14 July 1683, by the Ottoman Empire army of
approximately 90,000 men. The sieging force was composed by 60 ortas of
Jannisaries (12,000 men paper strength) with an observation army of c.70,000 men
watching the countryside. The decisive battle took place on 12 September, after
the united relief army of 84,450 men had arrived, pitted against the Ottoman
army.
The battle marked the turning point in the 300-year struggle between the forces
of the Central European kingdoms and the Ottoman Empire. Over the sixteen years
following the battle, the Habsburgs of Austria gradually occupied and dominated
southern Hungary and Transylvania, which had been largely cleared of the Turkish
forces.
The capture of the city of Vienna had long been a strategic aspiration of the
Ottoman Empire, due to its inter-locking control over Danubean (Black
Sea-to-Western Europe) southern Europe, and the overland (Eastern
Mediterranean-to-Germany) trade routes. During the years preceding the second
siege (the first one was in 1529), under the auspices of grand viziers from the
influential Köprülü family, the Ottoman Empire undertook extensive logistical
preparations this time, including the repair and establishment of roads and
bridges leading into Austria and logistical centers, as well as the forwarding
of ammunition, cannon and other resources from all over the Empire to these
logistical centers and into the Balkans.
On the political front, the Ottoman Empire had been providing military
assistance to the Hungarians and to non-Catholic minorities in Habsburg-occupied
portions of Hungary. There, in the years preceding the siege, widespread unrest
had become open rebellion upon Leopold I's pursuit of Counter-Reformation
principles and his desire to crush Protestantism. In 1681, Protestants and other
anti-Habsburg Kuruc forces, led by Imre Thököly, were reinforced with a
significant force from the Ottomans, who recognised Imre as King of "Upper
Hungary" (eastern Slovakia and parts of northeastern present-day Hungary, which
he had earlier taken by force of arms from the Habsburgs). This support went so
far as explicitly promising the "Kingdom of Vienna" to the Hungarians if it fell
into Ottoman hands.
Yet, before the siege, a state of peace had existed for twenty years between the
Habsburgs and the Ottoman Empire, as a result of the Peace of Vasvár.
In 1681 and 1682, clashes between the forces of Imre Thököly and the Habsburgs'
military frontier (which was then northern Hungary) forces intensified, and the
incursions of Habsburg forces into Central Hungary provided the crucial argument
of Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa Pasha in convincing the Sultan, Mehmet IV and his
Divan, to allow the movement of the Ottoman Army. Mehmet IV authorised Kara
Mustafa Pasha to operate as far as Győr and Komarom castles, both in
northwestern Hungary, and to besiege them. The Ottoman Army was mobilised on
January 21, 1682, and war was declared on August 6, 1682.
The logistics of the time meant that it would have been risky or impossible to
launch an invasion in August or September 1682 (a three month campaign would
have got the Turks to Vienna just as winter set in). However this 15 month gap
between mobilisation and the launch of a full-scale invasion allowed ample time
for the Habsburg forces to prepare their defence and set up alliances with other
Central European rulers, and undoubtedly contributed to the failure of the
campaign. It proved most decisive that the Habsburgs and Poland concluded a
treaty during this winter in which Leopold would support Sobieski if the Turks
attacked Kraków; in return, the Polish Army would come to the relief of Vienna,
if attacked.
On March 31, 1683 another declaration, sent by Kara Mustafa on behalf of Mehmet
IV, arrived at the Imperial Court in Vienna. On the next day the forward march
of Ottoman army elements began from Edirne in Thracia. The troops reached
Belgrade by early May, then moved toward the city of Vienna. About 40,000
Crimean Tatar forces arrived 40km east of Vienna on 7 July, twice as many as the
Austrian forces in that area. After initial fights, Leopold retreated to Linz
with 80,000 inhabitants of Vienna.
The King of Poland prepared a relief expedition to Vienna during the summer of
1683, honouring his obligations to the treaty. He went so far as to leave his
own nation virtually undefended when departing from Kraków on 15 August.
Sobieski covered this with a stern warning to Imre Thököly, the leader of
Hungary, whom he threatened with destruction if he tried to take advantage of
the situation — which Thököly did.
Events during the siege
The main Turkish army finally invested Vienna on July 14. On the same day, Kara
Mustafa sent the traditional demand for surrender to the city.
Ernst Rüdiger Graf von Starhemberg, leader of the remaining 11,000 troops and
5,000 citizens and volunteers with 370 cannons, refused to capitulate. Only days
before, he had received news of the mass slaughter at Perchtoldsdorf, a town
south of Vienna whose citizens had handed over the keys of the city after having
been given a similar choice.
The Viennese had demolished many of the houses around the city walls and cleared
the debris, leaving an empty plain that would expose the Turks to defensive fire
if they tried to rush the city. Kara Mustafa Pasha solved that problem by
ordering his forces to dig long lines of trenches directly toward the city, to
help protect them from the defenders as they advanced steadily toward the city.
Although the Turks had 300 good cannons, the fortifications of Vienna were very
strong and up to date, and the Turks had to invent a more effective use for
their gunpowder: mining. Tunnels were dug under the massive city walls to blow
them up with explosives.
The Ottomans had essentially two options to take the city: the first, an all-out
assault, was virtually guaranteed success since they outnumbered the defenders
almost 20-1. The second was to lay siege to the city, and this was the option
they chose.
This seems against military logic, but assaulting properly defended
fortifications has always resulted in very heavy casualties for the attackers. A
siege was a reasonable course of action to minimise casualties and capture the
city intact, and in fact it nearly succeeded. What the Ottomans did not take
into account however was that time was not on their side. Their lack of urgency
at this point, combined with the delay in advancing their army after declaring
war, eventually allowed a relief force to arrive. Historians have speculated
that Kara Mustafa wanted to take the city intact for its riches, and declined an
all-out attack in order to prevent the right of plunder which would accompany
such an assault.
The Ottoman siege cut virtually every means of food supply into Vienna, and the
garrison and civilian volunteers suffered extreme casualties. Fatigue became
such a problem that Graf Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg ordered any soldier found
asleep on watch to be shot. Increasingly desperate, the forces holding Vienna
were on their last legs when in August, Imperial forces under Charles V, Duke of
Lorraine beat Imre Thököly of Hungary at Bisamberg, 5km northeast of Vienna.
On 6 September, the Poles crossed the Danube 30km north west of Vienna at Tulln,
to unite with the Imperial forces and additional troops from Saxony, Bavaria,
Baden, Franconia and Swabia who had answered the call for a Holy League that was
supported by Pope Innocent XI. Only Louis XIV of France, Habsburg's rival, not
only declined to help, but used the opportunity to attack cities in Alsace and
other parts of southern Germany, as in the Thirty Years' War decades earlier.
During early September, the experienced 5,000 Turkish sappers repeatedly blew up
large portions of the walls, the Burg bastion, the Löbel bastion and the Burg
ravelin in between, creating gaps of about 12m in width. The Austrians tried to
counter by digging their own tunnels, to intercept the depositing of large
amounts of gunpowder in subterranean caverns. The Turks finally managed to
occupy the Burg ravelin and the Nieder wall in that area on 8 September.
Anticipating a breach in the city walls, the remaining Austrians prepared to
fight in Vienna itself.
Staging the battle
The relief army had to act quickly to save the city from the Turks, and to
prevent another long siege in which they might take it. Despite the
international composition and the short time of only six days, an effective
leadership structure was established, indisputably centered on the King of
Poland and his heavy cavalry. The motivation was high, as this war was not as
usual for the interests of kings, but for Christian faith. And, unlike the
Crusades, the battleground was in the heart of Europe.
Kara Mustafa Pasha, on the other hand, was less effective, despite having months
of time to organise his forces, ensure their motivation and loyalty, and prepare
for the expected relief army attack. He had entrusted defence of the rear to the
Khan of Crimea and his cavalry force, which numbered about 30 - 40,000.
There are serious questions as to how much the Tatar forces participated in the
final battle at Vienna. Their Khan felt humiliated by repeated snubs by Kara
Mustafa. He reportedly refused to attack the Polish relief force as it crossed
the mountains, where the Tatar light horse would have that advantage over the
Polish heavy cavalry. Nor were they the only component of the Ottoman army to
defy Mustafa openly or refuse assignments.
This left vital bridges undefended and allowed passage of the combined
Habsburg-Polish army, which arrived to relieve the siege. Critics of this
account say that it was Kara Mustafa Pasha, and not the Crimean Khan, who was
held responsible for the failure of the siege.
Also, the Ottomans could not rely on their Wallachian and Moldavian allies.
These peoples resented the Ottomans, who extracted heavy tributes from their
countries. The Ottomans also intervened in the internal politics of these
countries, seeking to replace their ruling princes with men who would be mere
Turkish puppets. When George Ducas, Prince of Moldavia and Şerban Cantacuzino,
Prince of Wallachia learned of the Turkish plans, they tried to warn the
Habsburgs. They also tried to avoid participating in the campaign, but the
Ottomans insisted that they send troops. There are a great number of popular
legends about the Wallachian and Moldavian forces in the siege. Almost
invariably, these legends describe them loading their cannons with straw balls,
so as to make no impact upon the walls of the besieged city.
The Holy League forces arrived on the "Kahlen Berg" (bare hill) above Vienna,
signaling their arrival with bonfires. In the early morning hours of 12
September, before the battle, a Mass was held for the King of Poland and his
nobles.
The battle
The Turks lost at least 15,000 men dead and wounded in the fighting + at least
5,000 men captured and all cannons; compared to approximately 4,500 dead and
wounded for the Habsburg-Polish forces.
The loot that fell into the hands of the Holy League troops and the Viennese was
as huge as their relief, as King Sobieski vividly described in a letter to his
wife a few days after the battle:
"Ours are treasures unheard of ... tents, sheep, cattle and no small number of
camels ... it is victory as nobody ever knew of, the enemy now completely
ruined, everything lost for them. They must run for their sheer lives ...
Commander Starhemberg hugged and kissed me and called me his savior.”
This emotional expression of gratitude did not distract Starhemberg from
ordering the immediate repair of Vienna's severely damaged fortifications,
guarding against a possible Turkish counter-strike. However, this proved
unnecessary. The victory at Vienna set the stage for Prince Eugene of Savoy's
re-conquering of Hungary and (temporarily) some of the Balkan countries within
the following years. Austria signed a peace treaty with the Ottoman Empire in
1697.
Long before that, the Turks had disposed of their defeated commander. On 25
December 1683, Kara Mustafa Pasha was executed in Belgrade (in the approved
manner, by strangulation with a silk rope pulled by several men on each end) by
order of the commander of the Janissaries.
Significance
Although no one realised it at the time, the battle shaped the outcome of the
entire war as well. The Ottomans fought on for another 16 years, losing control
of Hungary and Transylvania in the process, before finally giving up. The end of
the conflict was finalised by the Treaty of Karlowitz.
The battle marked the historic end of the expansion into Europe of the declining
Ottoman Empire.
The behaviour of Louis XIV of France also set the stage for centuries to come:
German-speaking countries had to fight wars simultaneously in the West and the
East. While German troops were fighting for the Holy League, Louis ruthlessly
used the occasion, before and after the battle of Vienna, to annex territories
in western Europe, such as Luxembourg, Alsace with Strasbourg, etc. Due to the
ongoing war against the Turks, Austria could not support the interest of German
allies in the West. The biography of Ezechiel du Mas, Comte de Melac illustrates
the devastations of large parts of Southern Germany by France.
In honour of Sobieski, the Austrians erected a church atop a hill of Kahlenberg,
north of Vienna. The train route from Vienna to Warsaw is also named in
Sobieski's honour. The constellation Scutum Sobieskii (Sobieski’s Shield) was
named to memorialise the battle. Because Sobieski had entrusted his kingdom to
the protection of the Blessed Virgin (Our Lady of Czestochowa) before the
battle, Pope Innocent XI commemorated his victory by extending the feast of the
Holy Name of Mary, which until then had been celebrated solely in Spain and the
Kingdom of Naples, to the universal Church; it is celebrated on September 12.
The period of Polish-Austrian friendship did not last long, as Charles V of
Lorraine began downplaying the role of John III Sobieski and his troops in the
battle. Neither Sobieski nor the Commonwealth profited significantly from saving
Austria; on the contrary, the battle of Vienna cleared the path towards the
forming of the future Austrian Empire (1804 to 1867) and the destruction of the
Commonwealth. In 1772 and 1795 the Habsburg Monarchy took part in the first and
third partitions of Poland, which wiped the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth off
the maps of Europe. In contrast, the Ottoman Empire never recognised the
partitions and provided a safe haven for many Poles.
Religious significance
The feast of the Holy Name of Mary is celebrated on September 12 on the
liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church in commemoration of the victory in
this battle of Christian Europe over the Muslim forces of the Ottoman Empire.
Before the battle King John had placed his troops under the protection of the
Blessed Virgin Mary. After the battle Pope Innocent XI, wishing to honour Mary,
extended the feast to the entire Church.
The Twelfth Viking
By Baron Bodissey
At the Battle of Poitiers in 732, the Frankish king Charles Martel defeated the
Saracens and pushed the forces of Islam back into the Iberian Peninsula. It was
not until 1492 that the Moors were finally thrown out of Europe, but in the
meantime the Islamic virus was contained in Spain and Portugal, and thus kept
out of the heart of Western Europe.
One of Charles Martel’s comrades-in-arms at Poitiers was a warrior of the North
known as Ogier le Danois, later
Holger Danske, or Holger the Dane. Although Holger was a historical figure,
little is known of him, and most of the written material about him is drawn from
legend.
According to the chroniclers, Holger had previously done battle with the Franks
over their incursions into Danish territory. But in 732 the menace of the
Saracens forced him to set aside his differences with Charles Martel and journey
southwards to fight side-by-side with the Frankish forces against the common
enemy.
At the end of his days, Holger, like King Arthur, retired to a secluded keep to
enter a twilight sleep from which he will awake in the hour of his country’s
need. The location most frequently cited for Holger’s rest is Kronborg castle at
Helsingør (or “Elsinore”, per Shakespeare).
Hans Christian Andersen has distilled the popular form of the ancient tale into
one of his stories:
Translation from Danish:
But the fairest sight of all is the old castle of Kronborg, and under it sits
Holger Danske in the deep, dark cellar which no one enters; he is clad in iron
and steel and rests his head on his stalwart arm; his long beard hangs down upon
the marble table where it has become stuck fast; he sleeps and dreams, but in
his dreams he sees everything that comes to pass in Denmark. Every Christmas Eve
an angel of God comes to tell him that all he has dreamed is true, and that he
may go to back to sleep again, for Denmark is not yet in any danger! but if it
should ever come, then old Holger Danske will rouse himself, and the table will
break apart as he pulls out his beard! Then he will come forth, and strike a
blow that shall be heard throughout all the countries of the world.
Now, if even a trace of the blood of the Men of the North runs in your veins, or
if you have lived long enough among them to have acquired some of their spirit,
the hair on the back of your neck will rise when you read these words, and you
will say, “Yes! This is the hero, the man who will defend us during the troubles
that are surely coming.”
Holger Danske has put me in mind of my favourite English poet, Ted Hughes.
Hughes was a Yorkshireman, and the blood of the Danes runs thick in the veins of
Yorkshire. Especially in the North Riding — the closer one gets to Whitby, the
more natural blond hair in evidence, and the more obvious the Danish place
names.
Ted Hughes wrote a number of poems that touched on the Men of the North, and
I’ve collected some samples below. Warning to our Danish readers: this is modern
poetic English! It may try your skills a bit, but your efforts will be rewarded.
I made my way through the Holger story in Danish, so fair is fair; now it’s your
turn.
First sample:
The Warriors of the North
Bringing their frozen swords, their salt-bleached eyes,
their salt-bleached hair,
The snow’s stupefied anvils in rows,
Bringing their envy,
The slow ships feelered Southward, snails
over the steep sheen of the water-globe.
Thawed at the red and black disgorging of abbeys,
The bountiful, cleft casks,
The fluttering bowels of the women of dead burghers,
And the elaborate, patient gold of the Gaels.
To no end
But this timely expenditure of themselves,
A cash-down, beforehand revenge, with extra,
For the gruelling relapse and prolongueur of their blood
Into the iron arteries of Calvin.
And another one:
Thistles
Against the rubber tongues of cows and
the hoeing hands of men
Thistles spike the summer air
And crackle open under a blue-black pressure.
Every one a revengeful burst
Of resurrection, a grasped fistful
Of splintered weapons and Icelandic frost thrust up
From the underground stain of a decayed Viking.
They are like pale hair and the gutturals of dialects.
Every one manages a plume of blood.
Then they grow grey, like men.
Mown down, it is a feud. Their sons appear,
Stiff with weapons, fighting back over the same ground.
The third section of Ted Hughes’ “Gog” evokes Holger the most strongly. This is
a deep, dark, and difficult poem, and parts of it are not suitable for family
reading. It deals with the lifelong and ultimately futile efforts of Everyman to
escape from the softness and weakness of his mother and establish his own
manhood without being sucked in and corrupted by the softness and weakness of
his wife.
This is the opening stanza:
Gog (Part III)
Out through the dark archway of earth, under the ancient lintel overwritten with
roots, Out between the granite jambs, gallops the hooded horseman of iron. Out
of the wound-gash in the earth, the horseman mounts, shaking his plumes clear of
dark soil. Out of the blood-dark womb, gallops bowed the horseman of iron, The
blood-crossed Knight, the Holy Warrior, hooded with iron, the seraph of the
bleak edge, Gallops along the world’s ridge in moonlight.
We all know about the Twelfth Imam, the super-bad Muslim guy at the bottom of
the well in Persia. When Armageddon arrives, when Gog grapples with Magog and
battle rages across the plain at Megiddo, the Twelfth Imam will awaken and lead
the armies of Islam to their final victory, establishing the kingdom of Allah
here on Earth.
Forget the Twelfth Imam.
We’ve got our own dude sitting on the bench. Call him the Twelfth Viking. He’s
suited up, ready to join the contest as soon as he’s required.
The Men of the North form the core of the Counterjihad. They are already in
action, clearing the back alleys of Anbar Province, riding point in Kabul, and
forming up in self-organised groups to defend our borders.
As I’ve said before, it’s not race that’s the issue here, it’s culture. The
culture of the Danes, the Norsemen, the English, and the Celts. The culture of
the hardy and self-reliant Men of the North, always ready to defend their
ancient liberties with a ferocity that their enemies can scarcely imagine. The
culture of productive enterprise and armed self-determination that has spread to
all corners of the globe.
Holger Danske is the man who best represents us. He’ll be there in the hour of
our greatest need.
The Twelfth Viking — I can see his eyelids fluttering even now…

By Fjordman
I've read quite a few books on the history of science. One of them is
The Beginnings of Western Science by
David C. Lindberg, who has also written the book
Theories of vision – From al-Kindi to
Kepler, which I will quote more extensively from later this fall when
publishing a multipart essay on the history of optics. Lindberg is a good
scholar and well worth reading, but has a few minor flaws.
Chapter eight in the second edition of his book about the history of science is
titled "Islamic science." Mr. Lindberg is not alone in employing this term, but
I am not personally in favor of it. Nobody talks about "Buddhist science" or
"Christian science," so I so no reason why we should use the term "Islamic
science," either. It is misleading, since whatever existed of science in
countries under Islamic rule relied heavily on contributions of non-Muslims and
pre-Islamic knowledge. Some use the term "Arab science" instead, but this is
hardly much better, since among those who were at least nominally Muslims, a
disproportionate amount were Persians, not Arabs. Which term should we use,
then? "Middle Eastern science" could be one possibility, as it puts emphasis on
the region but not on the religion.
I don't think David C. Lindberg provides a full explanation of why the
scientific tradition in the Islamic world stagnated, despite some promising
beginnings. Those who want a better understanding of this can check out
The Rise of Early Modern Science: Islam,
China and the West by Toby E. Huff. This can be supplemented with the work
of Edward Grant, for instance chapter eight "Relations between science and
religion" in Science and Religion, 400
B.C. to A.D. 1550: From Aristotle to
Copernicus. I will quote this book by Grant, and to a lesser extent Huff's
book, extensively in this essay, and will include page references to each quote
so that others can use the material if they want to.
By the end of eleventh century, Western Europeans were aware that both Muslims
and Byzantines had access to philosophical and scientific texts that they did
not have. After the capture of Toledo, Spain and Sicily from the Muslims in 1085
and 1091, respectively, a number of scholars translated Greek and Arabic texts,
but tended to prefer the Greek ones because Greek was a related Indo-European
language, which Arabic was not. A large number of the works which existed in
Arabic were originally translations from Greek themselves, and it would
obviously make more sense to copy directly from the Greek in Constantinople
since a more precise rendering could be made, with fewer misinterpretations than
from Arabic. The result was a major movement of translations from the twelfth
century until the second half of the thirteenth century.
Many works in optics, astronomy, medicine and mathematics were translated, but
it was Aristotle's work on natural philosophy that had the greatest impact. The
two greatest translators from Greek to Latin were James of Venice (d. after AD
1147), the first major translator of Aristotle's works from Greek to Latin, and
the Flemish scholar William of Moerbeke (c. AD 1215-c. 1286), who was the last.
According to Edward Grant, page 166:
"William of Moerbeke translated at least forty-eight treatises, including seven
on mathematics and mechanics by Archimedes, translated for the first time into
Latin (Grant 1974, 39-41; Minio-Paluello 1974, 436-438). His Aristotelian
translations are truly impressive. He was the first to translate Aristotle's
biological works from Greek into Latin. In translating the rest of Aristotle's
natural philosophy, Moerbeke found it useful to revise, expand, and even
complete some earlier translations, including revisions of at least three
treatises previously translated by James of Venice. In addition, Moerbeke
translated Greek commentaries on Aristotle's works from late antiquity. Thus, he
translated John Philoponus' Commentary on
the Soul, and Simplicius' Commentary
on the Heavens. One of the earliest beneficiaries of Moerbeke's translations
was Thomas Aquinas."
Grant continues on page 167:
"With Moerbeke's monumental contributions, all of Aristotle's natural philosophy
was available by the last quarter of the thirteenth century in translations from
Greek and Arabic. Although many scientific works were translated from Arabic to
Latin in the first half of the twelfth century by such translators as Plato of
Tivoli, Adelard of Bath, Robert of Chester, Hermann of Carinthia, Dominicus
Gundissalinus, Peter Alfonso, John of Seville, and others, the earliest
translations of Aristotle's works on natural philosophy appear to have occurred
in Spain in the latter half of the twelfth century. By far the most prominent
translator of Aristotle's works on natural philosophy was Gerard of Cremona (c.
A.D. 1114-1187), the most prolific translator from Arabic to Latin of works on
science, medicine, and natural philosophy."
Gerard of Cremona and those associated with him translated dozens of works from
Arabic to Latin, among them probably Alhazen's book on
Optics, which could not have been
translated from Greek since it did not exist in Greek. It is thus true that
there were translations from Arabic and that some of these did have some impact
in Europe. It would be historically inaccurate to claim otherwise. But although
this translation movement was significant, we should focus at least as much on
how these different civilisations used this information.
In this case, we are dealing with an example where three different
civilisations, the Islamic world, the Christian East (the Byzantine Empire) and
the Christian West had access to much of the same material, yet where the end
results were quite different. I have read a lot about the history of mechanical
clocks and eyeglasses, both of which were invented in Europe in the second half
of the thirteenth century AD. These inventions had no counterparts in any other
civilisation and were important for later scientific and technological advances,
which often benefited from more accurate timekeeping. The creation of
microscopes and telescopes was to some degree an extension of the invention of
eyeglasses and the use of glass lenses.
I cannot point out any significant piece of information that Europeans had
access to at this time which Muslims didn't also have access to. If anything,
Middle Easterners had more knowledge at their disposal since they had regular
contacts with the major Asian civilisations and could supplement Greek natural
philosophy with Indian and Chinese inventions. Europeans were prevented from
having extensive direct contacts with these civilisations because they were
geographically isolated from them by a large bloc of hostile Muslims. The only
possible conclusion why Europeans invented mechanical clocks is that they were
more efficient and creative than Muslims in using the body of information they
had at their disposal. Muslims could have done the same, but they didn't. They
failed, pure and simple.
The case of the Byzantine Empire is even more puzzling, as Byzantine scholars
appear not to have taken advantage of the readily available treasure house of
science and natural philosophy in their native Greek language. The Byzantine
Empire was essentially a theocracy as the Emperor was regarded as the head of
both church and state. According to Edward Grant in
Science and Religion, page 228:
"[U]ntil the end of the sixth century, important contributions to natural
philosophy were made in the Byzantine Empire by a number of commentators on the
works of Aristotle, such as Alexander of Aphrodisias (fl. 2nd-3rd century A.D.),
Themistius (c. A.D. 317-c. 388), Simplicius, and most important of all, the
Christian neo-Platonist John Philoponus, whose ideas were destined to have a
large impact on both Islamic and Latin natural philosophy. But the level of
achievement was seriously affected in A.D. 529, when, on religious grounds, the
emperor Justinian ordered the closing of Plato's Academy in Athens, forcing a
number of philosophers to depart the Byzantine Empire and move to the East.
After that natural philosophy and science played a minor role in Byzantine
intellectual life. This is surprising when we realise that, as compared to their
contemporary counterparts in Islam and the Latin West, Byzantine scholars were
truly fortunate, because their native language was Greek. They could read,
study, and interpret, without problems of translation, all the works available
in the Greek language that had accumulated in the Byzantine Empire, especially
in Constantinople, since the fifth and fourth centuries B.C. Indeed, most of our
Greek manuscripts come from Byzantium."
Alhazen, when he made his work on optics, relied heavily on Greek mathematics,
philosophy and medicine, most of which had initially been translated to Arabic
from Byzantine manuscripts. Yet there was no Alhazen in Byzantium itself. Grant
again, page 229:
"It is a paradox of history that the civilisations of Islam and Western Europe
contributed significantly to the store of human knowledge, using translated
works and often lacking important earlier texts, while the Byzantines, who had
command of the Greek language and easy access to the manuscript sources of their
great Greek predecessors, failed to capitalise on their good fortune."
There were some brief Byzantine "renaissances." The Empire wasn't static and did
an invaluable job in preserving older knowledge, but few works of lasting
significance were produced there during the Middle Ages. I still believe that my
conclusion in the online essay The Legacy
of Byzantium[1], inspired by Timothy Gregory's fascinating book
A History of Byzantium, was largely
correct:
It is true that the Byzantine Empire has received some bad press. However,
scholars James E. McClellan III and Harold Dorn sum up the established wisdom in
their book Science and Technology in
World History, second edition, when they state that 'Byzantium never became
a center of significant original science.' It is surely one of history's great
ironies that the Greco-Roman knowledge that was preserved by the Byzantines had
a greater impact in the West than it did in the Byzantine Empire itself.
Although being for centuries at the front lines of Islamic Jihad certainly
didn't help, this doesn't suffice to explain fully the failure of Byzantium to
develop modern science. When studying the Byzantine Empire, one cannot help but
notice that the separation of church and state which took place in the West
after the papal revolution never happened there. Byzantium remained a somewhat
autocratic state, thus in some ways resembling China – and perhaps later on
Russia - more than Western Europe. The development of parliaments, autonomous
cities and numerous universities that took place in the Christian West did not
happen in the Christian East.
However, also in the Islamic world, Greek logic and natural philosophy was never
fully accepted, and what initial acceptance there had been was largely nullified
by the extremely influential Muslim theologian al-Ghazali (1058-1111).
Al-Ghazali regarded theology and natural philosophy as dangerous to the Islamic
faith and was skeptical of the concept of mathematical proof. As Edward Grant
says, page 238:
"[Al-Ghazali] included the mathematical sciences within the class of
philosophical sciences (i.e., mathematics, logic, natural science, theology or
metaphysics, politics, and ethics) and concluded that a student who studied
these sciences would be 'infected with the evil and corruption of the
philosophers. Few there are who devote themselves to this study without being
stripped of religion and having the bridle of godly fear removed from their
heads' (Watt 1953, 34). In his great philosophical work,
The Incoherence of the Philosophers,
al-Ghazali attacks ancient philosophy, especially the views of Aristotle. He
does so by describing and criticising the ideas of al-Farabi and Avicenna, two
of the most important Islamic philosophical commentators on Aristotle. After
criticising their opinions on twenty philosophical problems, including the
eternality of the world, that God knows only universals and not particulars, and
that bodies will not be resurrected after death, al-Ghazali declares: 'All these
three theories are in violent opposition to Islam. To believe in them is to
accuse the prophets of falsehood, and to consider their teachings as a
hypocritical misrepresentation designed to appeal to the masses. And this is
blatant blasphemy to which no Muslim sect would subscribe' (al-Ghazali 1963,
249)."
As Ibn Warraq sums up in his modern classic
Why I Am Not a Muslim, "orthodox
Islam emerged victorious from the encounter with Greek philosophy. Islam
rejected the idea that one could attain truth with unaided human reason and
settled for the unreflective comforts of the putatively superior truth of divine
revelation. Wherever one decides to place the date of this victory of orthodox
Islam (perhaps in the ninth century with the conversion of al-Ashari, or in the
eleventh century with the works of al-Ghazali), it has been, I believe, an
unmitigated disaster for all Muslims, indeed all mankind."
Al-Ghazali, whose influence cannot be overstated, was a highly orthodox Muslim
on matters regarding the use of violence against non-Muslims. Here is al-Ghazali
on the importance of Jihad against the unbelievers, as quoted by Robert Spencer
in his excellent book Religion of Peace?:
Why Christianity Is and Islam Isn't:
"[O]ne must go on jihad [i.e., warlike razzias or raids] at least once a
year...One may use a catapult against them [non-Muslims] when they are in a
fortress, even if among them are women and children. One may set fire to them
and/or drown them...If a person of the ahl al-kitab [People of the Book] is
enslaved, his marriage is [automatically] revoked...One may cut down their
trees...One must destroy their useless books. Jihadists may take as booty
whatever they decide...They may steal as much food as they need."
Another Muslim thinker, the thirteenth century North African Ibn Khaldun, had a
traditional view of Jihad and shared the deep suspicion of philosophy. Edward
Grant, page 242:
"Even so enlightened an author as Ibn Khaldun (A.D. 1332-1406) was hostile to
philosophy and philosophers. On the basis of his great Introduction to History (Muqaddimah),
Ibn Khaldun is regarded as the first historian to write a world history.
According to Franz Rosenthal: 'The Muqaddimah was indeed the first large-scale
attempt to analyze the group relationships that govern human political and
social organisation on the basis of environmental and psychological factors'
(Rosenthal 1973, 321). Despite his brilliance as an historian, Ibn Khaldun
included a chapter in the Muqaddimah
titled 'A refutation of philosophy. The corruption of the students of
philosophy' (Ibn Khaldun 1958, 3:246-258). In this chapter, Ibn Khaldun condemns
the opinions of philosophers as wrong and proclaims to his fellow Muslims that
'the problems of physics are of no importance for us in our religious affairs or
our livelihoods. Therefore, we must leave them alone' (Ibn Khaldun 1958,
3:251-252). He regarded the study of logic as dangerous to the faithful unless
they were deeply immersed in the Qur'an and the Muslim religious sciences to
fortify themselves against its methods."
In my online essay The West, Japan, and
Cultural Secondarity[2], I discuss the ideas of French thinker Remi Brague
as outlined in his book Eccentric
Culture: A Theory of Western Civilisation. Brague claims that Muslims
largely lacked the European instinct for self-criticism and appreciation of "the
other." They did translate works from Greek and other languages like Sanskrit
and Persian, but they usually didn't preserve the originals. This made
"renaissances," the act of going back to the sources to reinterpret them,
impossible in the Islamic world. He quotes Ibn Khaldun as saying the following
in the Muqaddimah:
"(The Muslims) desired to learn the sciences of the (foreign) nations. They made
them their own through translations. They pressed them into the mold of their
own views. They peeled off these strange tongues [and made them pass] into their
[own] idiom, and surpassed the achievements of (the non-Arabs) in them. The
manuscripts in the non-Arabic languages were forgotten, abandoned, and
scattered. All the sciences came to exist in Arabic. The systematic works on
them were written in (Arabic) writing. Thus, students of the sciences needed a
knowledge of the meaning of (Arabic) words and (Arabic) writing. They could
dispense with all other languages, because they had been wiped out and there was
no longer any interest in them."
Logic continued to be used as an ancillary subject in scholastic theology
(kalam) and in many Islamic religious schools, but there was enough hostility
toward philosophy to prompt philosophers to keep a low profile. Those who taught
it often did so privately, not within the established institutions. Here is
Edward Grant in Science and Religion,
page 239:
"Following the translations in the early centuries of Islam, Greek philosophy,
primarily Aristotle's, received its strongest support from a number of
individuals scattered about the Islamic world. As we have already mentioned,
al-Kindi, al-Razi, Ibn Sina, and Ibn Rushd were among the greatest Islamic
philosophers. All were persecuted to some extent. Al-Kindi's case reveals
important aspects of intellectual life in Islam. The first of the Islamic
commentators on Aristotle, al-Kindi was at first favorably received by two
caliphs (al-Mamun and al-Mutassim), but his luck ran out with al-Mutawwakil, the
Sunni caliph mentioned earlier. According to Pervez Hoodbhoy, 'It was not hard
for the ulema [religious scholars] to convince the ruler that the philosopher
had very dangerous beliefs. Mutawwakil soon ordered the confiscation of the
scholar's personal library….But that was not enough. The sixty-year-old Muslim
philosopher also received fifty lashes before a large crowd which had assembled.
Observers who recorded the event say the crowd roared approval with each stroke'
(Hoodbhoy 1991, 111). The other four scholars were also subjected to some degree
of persecution, and a number of them had to flee for their safety."
This situation was radically different in the Latin West. There was sporadic
opposition to the use of reason and one attempt to ban the works of Aristotle at
the University of Paris in the thirteenth century, but this was of brief
duration and eventually failed. There were no later attempts to ban the use of
logic and natural philosophy per se, although there could of course be criticism
against specific interpretations. "After the 1240s and for the rest of the
Middle Ages, attacks on reason would have been regarded as bizarre and
unacceptable."
In contrast, Islam is in principle a theocracy in which religion and state form
a single entity. Islamic schools, or
madrasas, generally taught "Islamic science," that is theology, Arabic
grammar, the Koran and the hadith etc. Greek and other non-Muslim philosophy was
called "foreign sciences" and was never integrated into the core curriculum.
Grant again, page 243:
"[The madrasas] had as their primary mission the teaching of the Islamic
religion, and paid little attention to the foreign sciences, which, as we saw,
were comprised of the science and natural philosophy derived ultimately from the
Greeks. The analytical subjects derived from the Greeks certainly did not have
equal status with religious and theological subjects. Indeed, the foreign
sciences played a rather marginal role in the madrasas, which formed the core of
Islamic higher education. Only those subjects that illuminated the Qur'an or the
religious law were taught. One such subject was logic, which was found useful
not only in semantics but was also regarded as helpful in avoiding simple errors
of inference. The primary function of the madrasas, however, was 'to preserve
learning and defend orthodoxy' (Mottahedeh 1985, 91). In Islam, most theologians
did not regard natural philosophy as a subject helpful to a better understanding
of religion. On the contrary, it was usually viewed as a subject capable of
subverting the Islamic religion and, therefore, as potentially dangerous to the
faith. Natural philosophy always remained a peripheral discipline in the lands
of Islam and was never institutionalised within the educational system, as it
was in Latin Christendom."
Greek natural philosophy, however, became fully integrated into the university
curriculum in Europe. As Grant explains, page 244-245:
"It is important to point out that not only did university-trained theologians
fully accept and embrace the discipline of natural philosophy, but many, if not
most, of them were eager and active contributors to the literature of natural
philosophy. It is for that reason that it is wholly appropriate to call them
'theologian-natural philosophers.' They were equally at home in both disciplines
and were keen to import as much natural philosophy as they could into the
resolution of theological problems, while avoiding any temptations to theologise
natural philosophy. This explains why some medieval theologians can be equated
with the best of the secular natural philosophers, such as John Buridan and
Albert of Saxony. Some theologians, such as Albertus Magnus and Nicole Oresme,
were clearly superior to them. By their actions, theologians in the West were
full participants in the development and dissemination of natural philosophy.
They made it possible for the institutionalisation of natural philosophy in the
universities of the late Middle Ages, and therefore its extensive dissemination.
Nothing like this occurred in the Byzantine Empire or in Islam."
One of the most important advantages Catholic Europe enjoyed during this period
was the separation between church and state. Edward Grant, page 246-247:
"[Byzantines and Muslims] paid a heavy price for failing to separate church and
state. In both societies, Aristotle's natural philosophy was regarded as
potentially dangerous because it encompassed ideas and concepts that were
hostile to both religions, and because it was often felt that scholars who
focused too much on natural philosophy would either neglect religion or come to
regard it as inferior to natural philosophy. Islam's failure to separate church
and state nullified an institutional advantage it had over Western Christendom.
Where the latter was organised as a centralised, hierarchical religion with a
single individual – the Pope – holding ultimate power, Islam was a decentralised
religion with no hierarchical structure. What power there was derived from local
religious leaders who drew on the support of their fellow Muslims. Under these
circumstances, we might expect that freedom of inquiry and the cultivation of a
vibrant, sustained natural philosophy would have been more likely to occur
within the decentralised Muslim religion than within the highly centralised
Catholic Church of Western Europe. As we now know, the reverse occurred: the
West developed a lively natural philosophy, whereas in Islam natural philosophy
became a peripheral and suspect discipline, whose study could even prove
dangerous."
The European university system had no real equivalent in any other major
civilisation in the world at the time. As Toby Huff says in his book, page 234:
"We should also not underestimate the magnitude of the step taken when it was
decided (in part, following ancient tradition) to make the study of philosophy
and all aspects of the natural world an official and public enterprise. If this
seems a mundane achievement, it is due to our Eurocentrism which forgets that
the study of the natural sciences and philosophy was shunned in the Islamic
colleges of the Middle East and that all such inquiries were undertaken in
carefully guarded private settings. Likewise, in China, there were no autonomous
institutions of learning independent of the official bureaucracy; the ones that
existed were completely at the mercy of the centralised state. Nor were
philosophers given the liberty to define for themselves the realms of learning
as occurred in the West."
Edward Grant has been important in bringing to light this role played by the
university system in preparing the ground for the later Scientific Revolution.
As he concludes on page 248:
"Without the separation of church and state, and the developments that proceeded
as a consequence, the West would not have produced a deeply rooted natural
philosophy that was disseminated through Europe by virtue of an extensive
network of universities, which laid the foundation for the great scientific
advances made in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, advances that have
continued to the present day."
For further developments in the Western (but not so much in other) scientific
traditions from the sixteenth century onward,
The Scientists: A History of Science Told
Through the Lives of Its Greatest Inventors by John Gribbin is fascinating
and easy to read.
Toby E. Huff in his excellent The Rise of
Early Modern Science: Islam, China and the West, agrees with Grant's
assessment of the importance of the university system. Here is Huff, page 344:
"For a dispassionate examination of the educational backgrounds of major
scientists from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century shows that the vast
majority of them were in fact university educated. As John Gascoigne has shown,
'Something like 87% of the European scientists born between 1450 and 1650 [who
were] thought worthy of inclusion in the
Dictionary of Scientific Biography were university educated.' More
importantly, 'A large proportion of this group was not only university educated
but held career posts at a university.' For the period 1450-1650 this was 45
percent, and for 1450-1550, it was 51 percent. If one speaks of particular
scientists, then one must immediately acknowledge that Copernicus, Galileo,
Tycho Brahe, Kepler, and Newton were all extraordinary products of the
apparently procrustean and allegedly Scholastic universities of Europe. In
short, sociological and historical accounts of the role of the university as an
institutional locus for science and as an incubator of scientific thought and
argument have been vastly understated."
Nothing like this existed in the Islamic world. Universities could only be
established in Spain and Portugal after these countries had been re-conquered by
the Christians. Huff, page 212:
"If Spain had persisted as an Islamic land into the later centuries - say, until
the time of Napoleon - it would have retained all the ideological, legal, and
institutional defects of Islamic civilisation. A Spain dominated by Islamic law
would have been unable to found new universities based on the European model of
legally autonomous corporate governance, as corporations do not exist in Islamic
law. Furthermore, the Islamic model of education rested on the absolute primacy
of fiqh, of legal studies, and the standard of preserving the great traditions
of the past. This was symbolically reflected in the ijaza, the personal
authorisation to transmit knowledge from the past given by a learned man, a
tradition quite different from the West's group-administered certification
(through examination) of demonstrated learning. In the actual event, the
founding of Spanish universities in the thirteenth century, first in Palencia
(1208-9), Valladolid, Salamanca (1227-8), and so on, occurred in
long-established Christian areas, and the universities were modeled after the
constitutions of Paris and Bologna."
There is also an important theological aspect here in that Muslims generally
viewed God as unpredictable, whereas both Christians and Jews could more easily
view God as predictable, having created the world according to logical natural
laws which could be uncovered and understood by humans. Toby E. Huff, page 116:
"In short, the European medievals had fashioned an image of man that was so
imbued with reason and rationality that philosophical and theological
speculation became breathtaking spheres of inquiry whose outcomes were far from
predictable, or orthodox - to the consternation of all. Furthermore, this
theological and philosophical speculation was taking place within the citadels
of Western learning, that is, in the universities. Christian theology had indeed
clothed man with a new set of methods and motivations, but it had also
attributed to him a new set of rational capacities that knew no bounds."
Sadly, at the beginning of the 21st century, this university system arguably no
longer works as well as it once did. As Ibn Warraq puts it in his great book
Defending the West:
"The West, in giving in to political correctness and in being corrupted by Saudi
and other Arab money, is ceasing to honour the original intent of the
university. In recent years, Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries (e.g.,
Brunei) have established chairs of Islamic studies in prestigious Western
universities, which are then encouraged to present a favorable image of Islam.
Scientific research leading to objective truth no longer seems to be the goal.
Critical examination of the sources or the Koran is discouraged. Scholars such
as Daniel Easterman have even lost their posts for not teaching about Islam in
the way approved by Saudi Arabia. In December 2005, Georgetown and Harvard
universities each accepted $ 20 million from Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal for
programs in Islamic studies. The Carter Center, founded by former president
Jimmy Carter, is funded in part by bin Talal. Such money can only corrupt the
original intent of all higher institutions of education, that is, the search for
truth. Now, we shall have only "Islamic truth" that is acceptable to the royal
Saudi family, a family that has financed terrorism, anti-Westernism, and
anti-Semitism for more than thirty years."
This is financial corruption and intimidation, but even before this, Western
universities seemed to be increasingly preoccupied with deconstructing their own
civilisation and praising the most barbaric cultures and regimes on earth. This
is by no means universally true, of course. There is still much great work done
at Western universities, as Mr. Grant himself is living proof of. But it is
difficult to deny the fact that there has been a decline in free inquiry and
good scholarship. Exactly how this happened, how the Western university system
went from being a great comparative advantage to being something resembling a
problem is an interesting question, but one that will have to be dealt with in a
separate essay. Meanwhile, Edward Grant has done an excellent job at reminding
us of how unique it once was.

It is well known fact that South Slavs settled in the Balkans in 7th century.
The two largest tribes were Serbs and Croats. There was not much distinction
between the two then and to this day the "two people" speak one and the same
language. Till recently the language was known in world literature as
Serbo-Croatian. The only outwardly difference between Serbs and Croats today is
that the former are Orthodox while the later are Catholic Christians.
Geographical regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina were settled by the Serbs. There
is no dispute about this in Western pre-1991 (pre-Bosnia-war) literature.

According to the emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus, the emperor Heraclius
(610-640) invited the Serbs to settle in the devastated north-western provinces
of the Byzantine empire and to defend them against the incursions of the Avars.
Toward the end of 9th century the political centre of the Serbs was transferred
to Zeta (or: Zenta: see Montenegro) and the Primorye (sea-coast)... [Serbian]
Prince Voislav of Travuniya (today: Trebinje [Herzegovina]) ...united under his
own rule Travuniya, Zahumlye (the modern Herzegovina) and Zeta. His son Michael
Voislavich annexed the important Zhupania of Rashka (Rascia or Rassia) [Central
Serbia], and in 1077 was addressed as king (rex) in a letter from Pope Gregory
VII. His son Bodin enlarged the first Serb kingdom by annexing territories...

Entry: Yugoslavia, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus (reigned 913-957) referred to Bosnia
as part of “the land of the Serbs”.
From: "Yugoslavia, a Country Study"
Serbian groups settled the region of present-day Bosnia and Hercegovina during
the seventh century... Bosnia or Bosna (from Bosna river) appears to have
originated as a small principality in the mountainous region of the upper
reaches of the Bosna and Vrbas rivers. The name Herzegovina originated in the
fifteenth century when a powerful Bosnian noble, Stephen Vuksic, gained control
of lands in the southern part of Bosnia and took the title of Herzog, the German
equivalent of duke, from which came the name of the region.
Turkish conquest
That is it: Bosnia was Serbian only. There were no "Muslims" -- not even a
single family -- for at least FIVE HUNDRED years! The Islamic onslaught on
Europe started centuries later. For the Turks who wanted to conquer Europe for
Allah, Balkans was the shortest route. Their immense armies were first stopped
by heroic Serb resistance in a gigantic battle at Kosovo field in 1389. Some 70
years later the Turks recovered and took now defenceless Bosnia.
Centuries of peace the Serbs enjoyed in Bosnia were to be substituted with
centuries long struggle to survive brutal tyranny by foreign oppressor.
In order to govern this, 100% Christian land, the Turks needed to find (in
today's terms) local quislings. In those ancient times, when religion was one's
alpha and omega of existence, the conquering Turks could not hope to convert
Christians to Islam over night. Despite that, it turns out, Bosnia was somewhat
fertile ground. The Turkish conquest left substantial portion of the population
converted to Islam - more so than in other, vast Christian lands, governed by
the Ottoman Empire.
There are few theories how it happened. The most prevalent theory present in
Western literature claims that the Turks found an easy prey in Christian cult of
Bogumilism. This is one of many theories, though. The opposing ones claim that
Bogumilism, while quite present in Bosnia for some time, was extinct centuries
before Turkish arrival.
As it was question of honour, not to abandon ones religion for the religion of
the enemy, the process of conversion was a slow one. It took centuries. No-one
disputes that. Also the process took many different forms, many of which were
forms of forceful conversion. For sure those who converted to the religion of
the oppressor immediately reaped benefits. Over night they would cease to be
oppressed. They would not be hungry any more. The record of individual
conversions for the last few centuries of the Ottoman rule was kept in the main
archive in Sarajevo, which was in Muslim hands in the recent civil war. It
burned to the ground with all the documents. The incident, as everything else,
was blamed on the besieging Serbs even though it was in Muslim Serb, and
certainly not in Christian Serb, interest for that to happen...
The slow process of betraying Christianity
From: "Yugoslavia, a Country Study"
Situated on the dividing line between the areas of Roman Catholic and Eastern
Orthodox religious influence, Bosnia and Herzegovina suffered from constant
internal turmoil from the tenth through the fifteenth centuries. This situation
was complicated by the introduction from Bulgaria of an ascetic heretical
Christian cult -- Bogumilism -- during the twelfth century... Many Bosnian
nobles and a large portion of the peasantry persisted in the heresy despite
repeated attempts by both the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches to crush
the cult. The chaos caused by this religious struggle laid the country open to
the Ottoman Turks after they again defeated the [remaining, unconquered] Serbs
in 1459. By 1463 the Turks controlled Bosnia and twenty years later gained
control of Herzegovina; many Bogumil nobles and peasants accepted the Islamic
religion of their conquerors.
From: "A History of the Balkans" by Professor Ferdinand Schevill, Barnes &
Noble, New York, 1995, pp 202, 203
To the west of Serbia lay Bosnia,... a mountain region, like Serbia and racially
homogeneous with it... [W]hole sections of the Bosnians did not scruple to see
in Islam a deliverer. Numerous castles treacherously opened their gates to the
enemy, and when the wretched Bosnian king, despairing of his cause, surrendered,
he was, in spite of a solemn promise made in writing, cruelly decapitated under
the eyes of the sultan (1462)... Mohamed held the convenient doctrine that a
pledge made to a dog of an infidel possessed no binding character.
Thus Bosnia, sharp on the heel of Serbia, perished, and throughout Balkania the
land of the Serbs with the single exception of the Zeta [future Montenegro],
passed under the heel of the oppressor.
From: "A Short History of the Yugoslav Peoples" by Professor Fred Singleton,
Cambridge University Press, Edition 1985, page 20
The absorption of the heretic Bosnian (Bogumil) Church into the Islamic world
did not come about as a result of a dramatic act of mass conversion, but, if
Ottoman statistics is to be believed, it was a relatively rapid process.
According to a census of 1489... 18.4 per cent of the population of Bosnia
practised the Islamic faith... [T]he greatest increases were recorded...
especially in the towns... Slav-speaking Muslim aristocracy came into existence.
The 1.5 million Muslims in modern Bosnia, who are listed in the Yugoslav census
[of 1981]... are descendents of those ealy converts.
From: "Yugoslavia, a Country Study"
The Islamised nobles were allowed to retain their lands and their feudal
privileges, and the peasants who accepted Islam were granted land free from
feudal obligations. The Christian nobles were killed and Christian peasants
subjected to oppressive rule.
For more than four centuries, from the time of conquest in 1463 to 1878 when
Western powers ordered them to relinquish Bosnia and Herzegovina and hand it
over to the Austro-Hungarian empire control, the Turks ruled Bosnia. Their
devoted quislings, the Serbs who betrayed Christianity in order to serve the
Asiatic conqueror, identified with the foreign oppressor so much that
Encyclopedia Britannica of 1910, finds Bosnian Muslims, now after more than 20
years under Christian rule still wanting everyone to call them - Turks! These
"Turks," though can speak only one language - the same language that Serbs and
Croats speak: Serbo-Croatian.
Let us take a closer look into the origin of the terms "Bosnian," "Bosniak,"
"Bosnitch." Do Bosnian Muslims have an exclusive right, as exercised by the
Western press in these days, to call themselves "Bosnians?"
Source:
http://srpska-mreza.com/History/pre-wwOne/Bosnia-conquered.html
Encyclopedia Britannica, eleventh edition (year: 1910 (!)), Volume IV, page 281,
entry "Bosnia and Herzegovina", subentry (#10), Population and National
Characteristics (quote:)
In 1895 the population, which tends to increase slowly... numbered 1,568,092.
The alien element is small, consisting chiefly of Austro-Hungarians, gipsies,
Italians and Jews. Spanish is a common language of the Jews, whose ancestors
fled Hither, during the 16th century, to escape the Inquisition.
The natives are officially described as Bosniaks, but classify themselves
according to religion. Thus the Roman Catholics prefer the name of Croats,
Hrvats or Latins; the Orthodox, of Serbs; the Moslems, of Turks.
All alike belong to the Serbo-Croatian branch of the Slavonic race; and all
speak a language almost identical to Serbian, though written by the Roman
Catholics in Latin instead of Cyrillic letters.
To avoid offending either “Serbs” or “Croats”, it is officially designated
“Bosnitch”.... The Bosnians or Bosniaks resemble their Serbian kindfolk in both
appearance and character. They have the same love for poetry, music and romance;
the same *intense* pride in their race and history; many of the same
superstitions and customs. The Christians retain the Serbian costume, modified
in detail, as the occasional use of the turban or fez. The "Turkish" women have
in some districts abandoned the veil; but in others they even cover the eyes
when they leave home.
This clearly tells explains "tolerance" -- in 1910 -- between those who call
themselves "Serbs", "Croats" and "Turks". The three ethnic groups of Bosnia
would rather be called Bosnians (English), Bosnitch (German) or Bosanci (in
Serbo-Croatian) because a Croat would be *offended* to be called a "Turk",
"Turk" a Serb etc. It is surprising to read that Muslims liked to be called
"Turks" during the government of Austro-Hungaria. Muslims are Serbs or Croats,
but mostly Serbs, who, through centuries converted to Islam).
We have to remind you that the above text was written in 1910, i.e. before
Muslims (the "Turks") and Croats committed unspeakable atrocities on their
Serbian neighbours (in World War I and World War II).
We have seen, once again, how Muslims have showed unbelievable chauvinism and
intolerance toward the Serbs. (They did it for the third time in this, twentieth
century alone). The Muslims demanded to separate from the Serbs, even though the
“only” difference is the religion (The language and everything else is the
same). It is a dangerous precedent to declare a group of people a new nation
just because they are of different religion. Many countries would over-night
become "multi-ethnic".
On the other hand, let it be clear, if the Muslims insist to have their own
state then no-one should deny them their right for self-determination. And no
Serb was denying them that right. Serbs were not denying the Muslims right to
form a state in a portion of Bosnia where they, the Muslims, are majority
population.
But if there is to be any peace or justice then the Serbs should have exactly
the same right. Wherever the Muslims were majority before the war - they can
govern that territory any way they like it. But wherever the Serbs were
majority, according to the U.N. Charter - they have right for self-determination
the same way. The Serbs have right to exist. They have right to form their own
state. And No Communist design should have precedent over the rights of the
living human beings.
Today, the Muslims, with backing of the Western powers, want to usurp the right
for the entire Bosnia - even though they are MINORITY there. Muslims want to
usurp the right for themselves to be the only people called Bosnians. In other
words they want to be the only ones to rule the entire Bosnia.
Thus, let us remind you, once again, the Serbs are also the indigenous people of
Bosnia. Actually they were the *first* Slav tribe to settle there.

Muslims oppressed Christians in Bosnia
From: "The Balkans," pp 43 – 45, Time-Life World Library, by Edmund Stillman and
the Editors of Life, Time Inc., New York, 1967
From mid-15th century for the next four centuries(!) the Serbian and Croatian
Christians of Bosnia suffered tyrannical rule.
Four (4) centuries of Islamic tyranny in Bosnia
If any single factor made the Balkans what they were in history -- and what they
still are today -- it was the ordeal of the Turk... For the 18th and 19th
Centuries, the image of Turkey was that of a rotting empire, of a corrupt,
incompetent and sadistic national elite preying on the subject Balkan peoples -
of a cynical government whose very method of rule was atrocity.
[T]hey forbade the building of all but the meanest churches, and likewise
outlawed the ringing of church bells.
What was damaging to the Balkan peoples was [that]... they had been stripped of
pride and freedom. As Christians, they were now despised...
[T]he Turkish over-lordship created a Balkan mosaic of legal, social and
economic relations... What was uniform to all [subdued Christians] was the
experience of alien over-lordship and the legacy of violence as the cohesion and
power of the Empire declined. When the Empire passed its apex of power in the
17th and 18th Centuries, the conditions of the subject peoples took a
catastrophic turn for the worse... It was in these... years that the proverb
came into vogue: "Where the Turk trod, no grass grows." Within the Empire, the
17th and 18th Century military officials, the beys and dahis, savagely oppressed
the people; they were scarcely to be distinguished from the robber bands...
On the frontiers, [which is where Bosnia was] war -- and with it the parallel
evils of yearly murder, rape and arson -- became as regular as the cycle of
season.
The above quote is from: "Origin of the Myth of a Tolerant Pluralistic Islamic
Society" Bat Ye'Or, Chicago, August 31, 1995
In the Serbian regions, the most fanatical opponents of Christian emancipation
were the Muslims Bosniacs...
A systematic enquiry into the condition of the Christians was conducted by
British consuls in the Ottoman Empire in the 1860s. Britain was then Turkey's
strongest ally. It was in its own interest to see that the oppression of the
Christians would be eliminated in order to prevent any Russian or Austrian
interference. Consul James Zohrab sent from Bosna-Serai (Sarajevo) a lengthy
report, dated July 22, 1860, to his ambassador in Constantinople, Sir Henry
Bulwer, in which he analyzed the administration of the provinces of Bosnia and
Herzegovina. He stated that from 1463 to 1850 the Bosniac Muslims enjoyed all
the privileges of feudalism. During a period of nearly 400 years Christians were
subjected to much oppression and cruelty. For them no other law but the caprice
of their masters existed... Under false accusations imprisonments are of daily
occurrence. A Christian has but a small chance of exculpating himself when his
opponent is a Muslim."
The above quote is from: "The Serbian People" by P. Lazarovich-Hrebelianovich &
Eleanor Calhoun New York, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1910, The excerpt is from
Chapter VII: "The Serbians under Turkish rule from about 1470 to about 1800"
In the year 1413 the southern Serbian provinces were unable longer to hold out
against the Turks. Serbia in 1459, Bosnia in 1463, and Herzegovina in 1481 were
all finally conquered and became Turkish provinces.
The basis of Ottoman power was the sword and the Ottoman State was and is an
organised theocracy.
The Mohammedan religion is not a religion in the Christian sense of involving
principally the problems of morality, spiritual growth, and immortality.
Mohammedanism is a state of society founded on a collection of laws and legal
principles dealing with and ruling every event of individual and public life.
The vast community of believers in various countries of the world basing the
entire political, social, and religious fabric on that collection of laws, and
the mystical, ethical, and philosophical tenets given by Mahomet in the Koran,
afterward developed by the masters of the "Four Schools" of Mohammedan teaching,
forms "Islam."
For that reason where Islam is master no other civil status is recognised except
in tolerance and in subordination to Islam. There can be no assimilation with
people of other creeds or civilisation. The perception of that fact was vividly
set forth in the arguments of that Sultan, in the seventeenth century, who urged
that as Moslem victor and Christian vanquished could never make one people,
Ottoman domination could become secure only by the universal slaughter of all
Christians in conquered territories. Up to our own time that conclusion has
haunted Stamboul [Istanbul] like an evil dream.
The conquered Christian populations were disarmed and dispossessed of all
property, and were soon pressed into a condition of serfdom under Turkish
masters. They were called "giours" and in the mass the "rayah," "the herd."
Whoever renounced his faith and became a Mohammedan was thereby instantly
naturalised into Islam, receiving the status and all the life-chances of a born
Osmanili [Turk]. That was the sole means in his power of escaping from the
subjected masses or of opening a door of opportunity.
The Serbians in general refused to accept that door of escape from durancevile,
and remained true to their Christian and national faith, even though the long
night of practical extinction, hoping for a dawn though long deferred.
Many of the Serbian nobles and numbers of the common people fled to Serb lands
under Venice or those under Hungary [i.e. to Krajina]. Certain ones among the
nobles and others became Moslems, thereby preserving their lands and castles,
and authority was given to them under the Turks as Pashas, Beys, Agas, and
Spahis. They became ranged, in the eyes of the general populations, on the side
of the conquerors, and were looked upon by the people as Turks.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the inhabitants had not only been subject to
Turkish attack, but had been obliged as well to stand, ever beating back
Hungarian invasions, the greater part of the nobles, mostly Bogomils, went over
in body to Mohammedanism.
Large numbers of Serbs, loyal to their faith and home traditions, escaped to the
mountain fastnesses from which they were able to harass the Turks of the plains
and so maintain a relative independence.
The Serbians of the Rayah lived under great oppression and humiliation, their
only means of protection being through the Serbian Patriarch so long as one
existed.
In case of acts of injustice or violence suffered at the hands of individual
Turks, there was no possible redress. The Christians were forbidden the use of
horses or camels, only mules and asses being allowed them. They were forbidden
to ride even a mule or an ass in the presence of a Turk. It was not permitted
that their houses should have a better appearance than Turkish houses. For their
faith they had much to suffer. The clergy, few in number, were kept in miserable
conditions, and churches which had been destroyed were not allowed to be
rebuilt, the building of new churches being strictly forbidden. The sound of
church bells was forbidden as was also the reading aloud of the Holy Scriptures
or the pronunciation of the name of Jesus Christ.
It was not lawful to make the sign of the cross, to show a cross, or to eat pork
in sight of a Turk.
The Rayah were not allowed openly to bury their dead; Christian burials
tookplace at night or in secret; mourning for the dead was strictly prohibited
either by costume or by symbol or in any other way.
Church services were often held in some secluded spot in forest or glen,
sometimes under a chosen tree marked with a cross; or ordinary houses were built
as if for a family, with a central hearth, and sometimes with surrounding
storehouse and stable to avoid suspicion, and were consecrated and used secretly
as churches. Such houses still exist in Macedonia.

Tax in blood
In Ottoman Empire Christians were but slaves at nonexistent mercy of their
Muslim lords. Many, many Western books write about different horrors the
Christians endured. One form of oppression was that Muslims gave themselves
"right of the first night". In practice it meant that Turkish (or local Muslim
Slav) lord would spend the first night with the new Christian bride. The groom
had to take shoes off and silently circle the house while the Turk makes love to
his wife.
Still, by far the worst horror the Christians had to endure was the Turkish
Janissary system. Western schollars frequently downplay the importance of this
"Tax in Blood" as Christian subjects nicknamed it:
Conversion to Islam - through kidnapping
While any subject boy might aspire to the highest rank in the Turkish Empire, he
had to convert to Islam to do so; when the security of the Ottoman state
demanded, there were forced conversions. Every four years the most vigorous boys
were taken from the towns and villages, willingly or not, to be trained as
Janissaries (a word from the Turkish yeni cheri, or new troops).
From: "Origin of the Myth of a Tolerant Pluralistic Islamic Society" Bat Ye'Or,
Chicago, August 31, 1995
The Devshirme system is well known. Begun by the Sultan Orkhan (1326-1359), it
existed for about 300 years. It consisted of a regular levy of Christian
children from the Christian population of the Balkans. These youngsters, aged
from fourteen to twenty, were Islamised and enslaved for their army. The
periodic levies, which took place in contingents of a thousand, subsequently
became annual. To discourage runaways, children were transferred to remote
provinces and entrusted to Muslim soldiers who treated them harshly as slaves.
Another parallel recruitment system operated. It provided for the levy of
Christian children aged six to ten (Ichoghlani), reserved for the sultans'
palace. Entrusted to eunuchs, they underwent a tyrannical training for fourteen
years.
The first presentation above sounds almost idyllic: A boy dreams of obtaining
"high rank in the Empire" or some boys "were taken" from their parents in order
to achieve glorious carrier in Turkish Army.
What it actually meant was that the hated Turks would kidnap your child and -
even worse - return it, now as a Muslim and your worse enemy!
How can anyone put it in words? Dr. Ivo Andrich, who was born in Bosnia was
awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1961 for his novels about Bosnian
Christian suffering. Encyclopedia Britannica (Micropedia, Edition 1986, Vol 1,
Page 393, entry: Andric, Ivo) said (quote):
Andric's work reveals his deterministic philosophy and his sense of compassion
and is written objectively and soberly, in language of great beauty and purity.
The Nobel Prize committee commented particularly on the "ephic force" with which
he handled his material, especially in "The Bridge on the Drina".
Let the master of literature talk. Here is an excerpt from the above mentioned
Nobel Prize book "Bridge on the Drina," which describes how this "tax in blood"
felt, as it is told and retold chilling blood of generations of surviving
Christians of Bosnia.
On that November day a long convoy of laden horses arrived on the left bank of
the river and halted there to spend the night. The Aga of the janissaries, with
armed escort, was returning to Stambul after collecting from the villages of
eastern Bosnia the appointed number of Christian children for the blood tribute.
…the necessary number of healthy, bright and good looking lads between ten and
fifteen years old had been found without difficulty, even though many parents
had hidden their children in the forests, taught them how to appear half witted,
clothed them in rags and let them get filthy, to avoid the Aga's choice. Some
even went so far as to maim their own children, cutting off one of their fingers
with an axe.
…a little way behind the last horses in that strange convoy straggled,
dishevelled and exhausted, many parents and relatives of those children who were
being carried away forever to a foreign world where they would be circumcised,
become Turkish and, forgetting their faith, their country and their origin,
would pass their lives in the service of the Empire. They were for the most part
women, mothers, grandmothers and sisters of the stolen children.
[The women would get driven away but…] ….gather again a little later behind the
convoy and strive with tear-filled eyes to see once again over the panniers the
heads of the children who were being taken from them. The mothers were
especially persistent and hard to restrain. Some would rush forward not looking
where they were going, with bare breasts and dishevelled hair, forgetting
everything about them, wailing and lamenting as if at a burial, while others
almost out of their minds moaned as if their wombs were being torn by birthpangs
and blinded with tears ran right onto the horsemen's whips and replied to every
blow with the fruitless question: "Where are you taking him? Why are you taking
him from me?" Some tried to speak clearly to their children and give them some
last part of themselves, as much as might be said in a couple of words, some
recommendation or advice for the way...
"Rade, my son, don't forget your mother...'
"Ilija, Ilija, Ilija!" screamed
another woman, searching desperately with her glances for the dear well-known
head and repeating this incessantly as if she wished to carve into the child's
memory that name which would in a day or two be taken from him forever.
Mother's cries must still be echoing Bosnian mountains.
It should not pass without mention that once Westerners conquered Bosnia,
recently, one of the first thing they did in the course of "engineering
democracy" (and while trying to impose Muslim rule on Bosnian Serbs) was to ban
use of Dr. Andrich's works from school books for the Serbian children. It is as
if one was to ban Shakespeare in England!
Andrich's books were translated in all languages of the West. His, above cited
book "The Bridge on the Drina" can be found in any decent size library in the
West. It tells volumes about total collapse of Western culture and morality that
the same Western nations which praized Bosnian author in 1961 - banned his works
few decades later.
Bosnian Muslims outdid Turks in atrocity
From: "A Short History of the Yugoslav Peoples" by Professor Fred Singleton,
Cambridge University Press, Edition 1985, pp 20-21
Again, the Serbian grief was amplified by the fact that these returning
children, now Janissaries were the most intolerant, most militant Muslims. As
the time was passing and the central rule in the Empire was dying out, it was
Janissaries who actually governed Bosnia. They were the ones who were the most
oppressive and cruel. When Great Britain (in trying to repel Russia from the
Balkans, in its self-imposed, everlasting "Great Game") insisted that Turkish
sultan should give equal rights to his Christian subjects, Janissaries of Bosnia
were the ones who started a rebellion to topple the sultan.
Worse "Turks" than Turks
During the heyday of the Ottoman rule in Europe the Bosnian Muslims played an
important part in administration of the empire, one of them, Mehmet Sokolovic,
rising to be grand vizier to the sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent, in the
sixteenth century. Bosnian Muslims also provided the Ottoman bureaucracy in
Hungary after the battle of Mohacs in 1526. At lower level of administration,
the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Christian peasants of the raya were governed by
Slav Muslim landowners, who, whilst retaining their Slavonic speech, adopted the
manners and dress of the Turkish court. Like many converts, they often
'out-Ottomaned the Ottomans in their religious zeal'.
The above quote is from: "A Short History of the Yugoslav Peoples" by Professor
Fred Singleton, Cambridge University Press, Edition 1985, page 75
The janissaries, who were once the elite corps of the sultan army, had
degenerated by the end of the eighteenth century into an unrully and lawless
rabble, who were at best an embarrassment and at worst threat to their rulers...
Sultan Mahmud I (1730-54) attempted to disband the janissaries and to put in
their place a modern force, modelled on the standing armies of his European
enemies. Unfortunately for the Serbs, he was only partly successful. In an
attempt to remove the influence of the janissaries from Istanbul, where they
naturally formed a powerful opposition to his reforms, Mahmud tried to buy them
off by offering them a virtually free hand in garrisoning the remote provinces
of the empire [like Bosnia and Hercegovina]. There they could plunder and abuse
the local peasantry with impunity, even dispossessing them from their lands. ...
Mahmud may have bought time for himself, but he stored up trouble for his
successors.
From: Encyclopedia Britannica, Edition 1910, Volume 4, page 284
The reform of the Ottoman government contemplated by the sultan Mahmud II
(1808-1839) was BITTERLY RESENTED in Bosnia... Many of the janissaries had
married and settled on the land, forming a strongly conservative and FANATICAL
caste, friendly to the Moslem nobles, who now dreaded the curtailment of their
own privileges. Their opportunity came in 1820, when the Porte [the Turkish
government] was striving to repress the insurrection in Moldavia, Albania and
Greece. A first Bosnian revolt was crushed in 1821, a second, due principally to
the massacres of the jannissaries, was quelled with much bloodshed in 1827.
After Russo-Turkish War of 1828-29, a further attempt at reform was initiated by
the sultan and his grand vizier, Reshid Pasha. Two years later came a most
formidable outbreak: the sultan was denounced as false to Islam, and the Bosnian
nobles gathered in Banjaluka (Bosnia), determined to march to Constantinople,
and reconquer the Ottoman Empire for the true [Islam] faith.
A Jihad was preached by their leader, Hussein Aga Berberi, a brilliant soldier
and orator, who called himself “Zmaj Bosanski” [dragon of Bosnia], and was
regarded by his followers as a saint. The Moslems of Herzegovina, under Ali
Pasha Rizvanbegovic, remained loyal to the Porte, but in Bosnia Hussein Aga
encountered little resistance. At Kossovo he was reinforced by 20,000 Albanians,
led by Mustapha Pasha, and within a few weeks the united armies occupied the
whole of Bulgaria, and large part of Macedonia. Their career was checked by
Reshid Pasha, who persuaded the two victorious commanders to intrigue against
one another, secured the division of their forces, and then fell upon each in
turn.
The rout of the Albanians at Prilipe and the capture of Mustapha at Scutari were
followed by an invasion of Bosnia. After a desperate defence, Hussein Aga fled
to Esseg in Croatia-Slavonia, his appeal for pardon was rejected, and in 1832 he
was banished for life in Tribizond.
The power of the Bosnian nobles, though shaken by their defeat, remained
unbroken, and they resisted vigorously when their kapetanates were abolished in
1837, and again when a measure of
equality before the law was conceded to the Christians in 1839.
In Herzegovina, Ali Pasha Rizvanbegovic reaped the reward of his fidelity. He
was left free to tyrannise over his Christian subjects, a king in all but name.
Is this not exactly opposite of the current claim the Western media repeatedly
promotes? Are they not telling us that "Islam is a tolerant religion?" Since
when!? Are we all from Mars? How can anyone delete the horror of Muslim
oppression over Christians and Jews which lasted for centuries and stretched
over continents?
Where are the roots of the above myth wondered author Bat Ye'Or. She then spent
decades studying the issue. Finally she wrote a few books on the subject.
In the early 7th century, Serbs settled in Balkans (including Kosovo). In the
12th century, according to the Byzantine Empress Anna Angelina Komnenos, the
Serbs were the main inhabitants of Kosovo (Eastern Dalmatia and former Moesia
Superior). Archaeological findings from the 7th century onwards show a Serb
(Slavic) cultural domination in case of glagolithic letters, pottery,
cemeteries, churches and monasteries.
14th century
The Dečani Charter from 1330 contained a detailed list of households and
chartered villages in Metohija and north-western Albania:
3 of 89 settlements were Albanian, the other being Serb.
15th century
The ethnic composition of Kosovo's population during this period included Serbs,
Albanians, and Vlachs along with a token number of Greeks, Armenians, Saxons,
and Bulgarians, according to Serbian monastic charters or chrysobulls
(Hristovulja). A majority of the given names in the charters are overwhelmingly
Serbian (Of 24,795 names, 23,774 were ethnic Serb names, 470 of Roman origin, 65
of Albanian origin and 61 of Greek origin). This claim is supported by the
Turkish cadastral tax-census (defter) of 1455 which took into account religion
and language and found an overwhelming Serb majority.
1455: Turkish cadastral tax census
(defter) of the Brankovic dynasty lands (covering 80% of present-day Kosovo)
recorded 480 villages, 13,693 adult males, 12,985 dwellings, 14,087 household
heads (480 widows and 13,607 adult males). Totally there were around 75,000
inhabitants in 590 villages comprising modern-day Kosovo. By ethnicity:
13,000 Serb dwellings present in all 480 villages and towns
75 Vlach dwellings in 34 villages
46 Albanian dwellings in 23 villages
17 Bulgarian dwellings in 10 villages
5 Greek dwellings in Lauša, Vučitrn
1 Jewish dwelling in Vučitrn
1 Croat dwelling
1487: A census of the House of Branković
Vučitrn district:
16,729 Christian housing (412 in Priština and Vučitrn)
117 Moslem households (94 in Priština and 83 in rural areas)
Ipek (Peć) district:
City of Ipek - 68% Serbs
121 Christian household
33 Moslem households
Suho Grlo and Metohija:
131 Christian household of which 52% in Suho Grlo were Serbs
Kline e Poshtme/Donja Klina - 50% Serbs
Dečani - 64% Serbs
Rural areas:
6,124 Christian housings (99%)
55 Moslem houses (1%)
17th - 18th century
The Great Turkish War of 1683–1699 between the Ottomans and the Habsburgs led to
the flight of a substantial part of Kosovan Serbian population to Austrian held
Vojvodina and the Military Frontier - about 60-70,000 Serb refugees total
settled in the Habsburg Monarchy in that time of whom many were from Kosovo.
Following this an influx of Muslim Albanian[14] from the highlands (Malesi)
occurred, mostly into Metohija. The process continued in 18th century.
Noel Malcolm suggests that the Great Migration of the Serbs from Kosovo is only
a myth created by Serbian nationalism to justify the Albanian majority already
in Kosovo[15], but a number of historians who reviewed his work, including Mile
Bjelajac, Istvan Deak, Thomas Emerat and Tim Judah refute this[16].
A study done in 1871 by Austrian colonel Peter Kukulj for the internal use of
the Austro-Hungarian army showed that the mutesarifluk of Prizren (corresponding
largely to present-day Kosovo) had some 500,000 inhabitants, of which:
318,000 Serbs (64%),
161,000 Albanians (32%),
10,000 Roma (Gypsies) and Circassians
2,000 Turks
Miloš S. Milojević travelled the region in 1871–1877 and left accounts which
testify that Serbs were majority population, and were predominant in all cities,
while Albanians were minority and lived mostly in villages. According to his
data, Albanians were majority population in southern Drenica (Muslim Albanians),
and in region around Djakovica (Catholic Albanians), while the city was majorly
Serbian. He also recorded several settlements of Turks, Romas and Circassians.

Islamic Demographic Warfare in Kosovo
By M. Bozinovich
One of the Albanian claims for independence of Kosovo is the ethnic makeup of
the region. The argument points that Kosovo was majority Albanian populated
hence it should be, at the most, given to Albania or at least granted
international recognition as an independent state.

The initial 1948 Albanian majority was a result of the Yugoslav government’s
prohibition on refugee returns, mostly Serbs that have been deported by Albanian
Nazis in WWII.
The increasing homogenisation of Kosovo’s population in favour of Albanians has
been achieved by means of systematic and institutionalised political and
economic repression of Kosovo Serbs. The repression was institutionalised with
increased autonomy powers granted to Kosovo in the 1960s and especially in 1974.
The increased homogenisation of Kosovo in the Muslim Albanian favour is also a
result of the birth rate (also known as demographic warfare): Albanians simply
have more children then the Serbs.
Given that a parabola appropriately models Kosovo Serb population trend, the
analysis strongly suggests that Kosovo Serbs have also been exposed to ethnic
animosity and/or genocidal policies.
Serb vs Jewish demographic trend 1900-1941
A similar, but not so peculiar population trend is the Jewish experience under
Nazi Germany. While the pre-Hitlerian cultural anti-Semitism in Germany was
institutionalised, by 1941 hate of Jews was turned into an exterminatory policy.
Out of 615,000 Jews in Germany in 1910, virtually none were left by 1945.
Both Jews under Nazis and Serbs under Albanian-dominated Kosovo exhibit the same
downward depopulation trend. To the extent that Kosovo Serb population trend
line is a parabola, there is a strong evidence to suggest then that Kosovo Serbs
have been exposed to a level of ethnic duress sufficient enough to induce them
to migrate out of Kosovo.

Yugoslavia: Past and present
BAT YE'OR speech:
My subject this evening is: Myths and Politics: Origin of the Myth of a Tolerant
Pluralistic Islamic Society. I stress the world "Tolerant", which was omitted
from the program.
Ten years ago, when I came to America for the launching of my book: THE DHIMMI,
JEWS AND CHRISTIANS UNDER ISLAM, I was struck by the inscription on the Archives
Building in Washington: "Past is Prologue". I had thought -- at least at the
beginning of my research -- that my subject related to a remote past, but I
realised that contemporary events were rapidly modernising this past. Muslim
countries where Islamic law -- the Shari'a -- had been replaced by modern
juridic (imposed by the European colonising powers,) were abandoning the
secularising trend, replacing it with Islamisation in numerous sectors of life.
This impression of the return of the past became even more acute when I was
working on my next book, published in 1991, the English edition which will
appear in a few months under the title: THE DECLINE OF EASTERN CHRISTIANITY
UNDER ISLAM - 7th TO 20th CENTURY: FROM JIHAD TO DHIMMITUDE (Associated
University Presses).
In this study, I tried to analyze the numerous processes that had transformed
rich, powerful Christian civilisations into Islamic lands and their long-term
effects, which had reduced native Christian majorities into scattered small
religious minorities, now slowly disappearing. This complex Islamisation process
of Christian lands and civilisations on both shores of the Mediterranean - and
in Irak and Armenia - I have called: the process of "dhimmitude" and the
civilisation of those peoples who underwent such transformation, I have named
the civilisation of "dhimmitude". The indigenous native peoples were Jews and
Christians: Orthodox, Catholics, or from other Eastern Christian Churches. They
are all referred to by Muslim jurists as the "Peoples of the Book" - the Book
being the Bible - and are subjected to the same condition according to Islamic
law. They are called dhimmis: protected peoples, because Islamic law protects
their life and goods on condition that they submit to Islamic rule. I will not
go into details here for this is a very long and complex subject, but in order
to understand the Serbian situation one should know that the Serbs were treated
during half a millennium just like the other Christian and Jewish dhimmis. They
participated in this civilisation of dhimmitude. It is important to understand
that the civilisation of dhimmitude grows from two religious institutions: Jihad
and SHARI'A, which establish a particular ideological system that makes it
mandatory - during the jihad operation -- to use terror, mass killings,
deportation and slavery. And the Serbs -- because I am speaking of them tonight
-- did not escape from this fate, which was the same for all the populations
around the Mediterranean basin, vanquished by Jihad. For centuries, the Serbs
fought to liberate their land from the laws of Jihad and of Shari'a, which had
legalised their condition of oppression.
So while I was analyzing and writing about the processes of dhimmitude and the
civilisation of dhimmitude, while listening to the radio, watching television,
reading the newspapers, I had the uncomfortable feeling that the clock was being
turned back.
Modern politicians, sophisticated writers -- using phones, planes, computers and
all the modern techniques -- seemed to be returning several centuries back, with
WIGS or STIFF COLLARS, using exactly the same CORRUPTING ARGUMENTS, the same
tortuous short-term politics that had previously contributed to the gradual
Islamisation of numerous non-Muslim peoples. I had to shake myself in an effort
to distinguish the past from the present.
So, is the past always prologue? Are we doomed to remain always prisoners of the
same errors? Certainly, if we do not know the past; and this past -- the long
and agonising process of Christian annihilation by the laws of Jihad and
dhimmitude -- is a taboo history, not only in Islamic lands, but above all in
the West. It has been buried beneath a myth, fabricated by Western politicians
and religious leaders, in order to promote their own national strategic and
economic interests.
Curiously, this myth started in Bosnia-Herzegovina in the 19th century. It
alleges that Turkish rule over Christians in its European provinces was just and
lawful. That the Ottoman regime, being Islamic, was naturally "tolerant" and
well disposed toward its Christian subjects; that its justice was fair, and that
safety for life and goods was guaranteed to Christians by Islamic laws. Ottoman
rule was brandished as the most suitable regime to rule Christians of the
Balkans.
This theory was advanced by European politicians in order to safeguard the
balance of power in Europe, and in order to block the Russian advance towards
the Mediterranean. To justify the maintenance of the Turkish yoke on the Slavs
it was portrayed as a model for a multi-ethnical and multi-religious empire. Of
course, the reality was totally different! First the Ottoman Empire was created
by centuries of Jihad against Christian populations; consequently the rules of
Jihad, elaborated by Arab-Muslim theologians from the 8th to the 10th centuries,
applied to the subjected Christian and Jewish populations of the Turkish Islamic
dominions. Those regulations are integrated into the Islamic legislation
concerning the non-Muslim vanquished peoples and consequently they present a
certain homogeneity throughout the Arab and Turkish empires.
The civilisation of dhimmitude in which the Serbs participated had many aspects
that evolved with changing political situations. In the 1830s, forced by the
European powers, the Ottomans adopted a series of reforms aiming at ending the
oppression of the Christians.
In the Serbian regions, the most fanatical opponents of Christian emancipation
were the Muslims Bosniacs. They fought against the Christian right to possess
lands and, in legal matters, to have equal rights as themselves. They pretended
that under the old system that gave them full domination over the Christians,
Muslims and Christians had lived for centuries in a convivial fraternity. And
this argument is still used today by President Izetbegovic and others. He
repeatedly affirms that the 500 years of Christian dhimmitude was a period of
peace and religious harmony.
Let us now confront the myth with reality. A systematic enquiry into the
condition of the Christians was conducted by British consuls in the Ottoman
Empire in the 1860s. Britain was then Turkey's strongest ally. It was in its own
interest to see that the oppression of the Christians would be eliminated in
order to prevent any Russian or Austrian interference. Consul James Zohrab sent
from Bosna-Serai (Sarajevo) a lengthy report, dated July 22, 1860, to his
ambassador in Constantinople, Sir Henry Bulwer, in which he analyzed the
administration of the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He stated that from
1463 to 1850 the Bosniac Muslims enjoyed all the privileges of feudalism. During
a period of nearly 400 years Christians were subjected to much oppression and
cruelty. For them no other law but the caprice of their masters existed.
The DEVSHIRME system is well known. Begun by the Sultan Orkhan (1326-1359), it
existed for about 300 years. It consisted of a regular levy of Christian
children from the Christian population of the Balkans. These youngsters, aged
from fourteen to twenty, were Islamised and enslaved for their army. The
periodic levies, which took place in contingents of a thousand, subsequently
became annual. To discourage runaways, children were transferred to remote
provinces and entrusted to Muslim soldiers who treated them harshly as slaves.
Another parallel recruitment system operated. It provided for the levy of
Christian children aged six to ten (ICHOGHLANI), reserved for the sultans'
palace. Entrusted to eunuchs, they underwent a tyrannical training for fourteen
years. (A system of enslaving Black Christian and Animist children, similar to
the DEVSHIRME existed in Sudan as is shown from documents to be published in my
book. A sort of DEVSHIRME system still exists today in Sudan and has been
described and denounced by the United Nations Special Report on Sudan and in a
recent article last Friday's TIMES OF LONDON.) In 1850, the Bosniac Muslims
opposed the authority of the Sultan and the reforms, but were defeated by the
Sultan's army aided by the Christians who hoped that their position would
thereby improve, "but they hardly benefited." Moreover, despite their assistance
to the sultan's army, Christians were disarmed, while the Muslims who fought the
sultan could retain weapons. Christians remained oppressed as before, Consul
Zobrab writes about the reforms: "I can safely say, they practically remain a
dead letter".
Discussing the impunity granted to the Muslims by the sultan, Zohrab wrote:
"This impunity, while it does not extend to permitting the Christians to be
treated as they formerly were treated, is so far unbearable and unjust in that
it permits the Muslims to despoil them with heavy exactions. Under false
accusations imprisonments are of daily occurrence. A Christian has but a small
chance of exculpating himself when his opponent is a Muslim." "Christians are
now permitted to possess real property, but the obstacles which they meet with
when they attempt to acquire it are so many and vexatious that very few have as
yet dared to brave them. Although a Christian can buy land and take possession
it is when he has got his land into order [...] that the Christian feels the
helplessness of his position and the insincerity of the Government. [Under any
pretext] "the Christian is in nineteen cases out of twenty dispossessed, and he
may then deem himself fortunate if he gets back the price he gave."
Commenting on this situation, the consul writes:
"Such being, generally speaking, the course pursued by the Government towards
the Christians in the capital of the province Sarajevo where the Consular Agents
of the different Powers reside and can exercise some degree of control, it may
easily be guessed to what extend the Christians, in the remoter districts,
suffer who are governed by Mudirs generally fanatical."
He continues:
"Christian evidence in the Medjlises (tribunal) as a rule is refused. Knowing
this, the Christians generally come forward prepared with Mussulman witnesses
(...), twenty years ago, it is true, and they had no laws beyond the caprice of
their landlords."
"Cases of oppression are frequently the result of Mussulman fanaticism, but for
these the Government must be held responsible, for if offenders were punished,
oppression would of necessity become rare."
In the spring of 1861 the sultan announced new reforms in Herzegovina, promising
among other things freedom to build churches, the use of church bells and the
opportunity for Christians to acquire land.
Commenting on this, Consul William Holmes in Bosna-Serai writes to Ambassador
Sir Henry Bulwer that those promises rarely applied. He mentions that the Serbs,
the biggest community were refused the right to build a church in Bosna-Serai.
Concerning the right to buy land, he writes; "Every possible obstacle is still
thrown in the way of the purchase of lands by Christians, and very often after
they have succeeded in purchasing and improving land, it is no secret that on
one unjust pretext or another, it has been taken from them."
Consul Longworth writes, from Belgrade on 1860 that by its Edicts the
"Government may hasten such a reform but I question very much whether more evil
than good will not arise from proclaiming a social equality which is, in the
present stage of things and relations of society, morally impossible."
The biggest problem, in fact, was the refusal to accept either Christian or
Jewish testimony in Islamic tribunals.
Consul Longworth comments on "the lax and vicious principle acted upon in the
Mussulman Courts, where, as the only means of securing justice to Christians,
Mussulman false witnesses are permitted to give evidence on their behalf."
The situation didn't change, and in 1875 the Grand Vizier Mahmud Pasha admitted
to the British Ambassador in Constantinople, Sir Henry Elliot, the
"impossibility of allowing Christian testimony at courts of justice in Bosnia."
Thus, the Ambassador noted: "The professed equality of Christians and Mussulmans
is, however, so illusory so long as this distinction is maintained."
This juridical situation had serious consequences due to the system of justice,
as he explained: "This is a point [the refusal of testimony] of much importance
to the Christians, for, as the religious courts neither admit documentary nor
written evidence, nor receive Christian evidence, they could hope for little
justice from them."
The difficulty of imposing reforms in such a vast empire provoked this
disillusioned comment, from Sir Francis, consul-general, judge at the British
Consular Court in 1875 Constantinople: "Indeed, the modern perversion of the
Oriental idea of justice is a concession to a suitor through grace and favour,
and not the declaration of a right, on principles of law, and in pursuance of
equity."
From Consul Blunt writing from Pristina on 14 July 1860 to Ambassador Bulwer, we
learn about the situation in the province of Macedonia: "[...] For a long time
the province of Uscup [Skopje, Macedonia] has been a prey to brigandage: [...]
Christian churches and monasteries, towns and inhabitants, are now pillaged,
massacred, and burnt by Albanian hordes as used to be done ten years ago."
"The Christians are not allowed to carry arms. This, considering the want of a
good police, exposes them the more to attacks from brigands." "Christian
evidence in law suits between a Mussulman and a non-Mussulman is not admitted in
the Local Courts."
Ten years before he said: "Churches were not allowed to be built; and one can
judge of the measure of toleration practiced at that time by having had to creep
under doors scarcely four feet high. It was an offence to smoke and ride before
a Turk; to cross his path, or not stand up before him, was equally wrong." [...]
Fifteen years later, in another report from Bosna-Serai, dated December 30,
1875, from consul Edward Freeman, we learn that the Bosnian Muslims had sent a
petition to the sultan stating that before the reforms, "they lived as brother
with the Christian population. In fact, wrote the Consul, "their aim appears to
reduce the Christians to their former ancient state of serfdom." So once again
we go back to the myth. When reading the literature of the time, we see that the
obstruction to Serbian, Greek and other Christian liberation movement was rooted
in two main arguments:
1. Christian Dhimmis are congenitally unfitted for independence and
self-government. They should therefore remain under the Islamic rule.
2. The Ottoman rule is a perfect model for a multi-religious and multi-ethnical
society.
Indeed these are theological Islamic arguments that justify the JIHAD since all
non-Muslim people should not retain political independence because their laws
are evil and must be eventually replaced by the Islamic rule. We find the same
reasoning in the Palestinian 1988 Covenant of the Hamas. Those arguments are
very common in the theological and legal literature and are exposed by modern
Islamists.
Collusion
The myth didn't die with the collapse of the Turkish Empire after World War I.
Rather it took another form: that of the National Arab Movement, which promoted
an Arab society where Christians and Muslims would live in perfect harmony. Once
again, this was the fabrication of European politicians, writers and clergyman.
And in the same way as the myth of the Ottoman political paradise was created to
block the independence of the Balkan nations, so the Arab multi-religious
fraternity was an argument to destroy the national liberation of non-Arab
peoples of the Middle East (Kurds, Armenians, Assyrians, Maronites and
Zionists.)
And although from the beginning of this century until the 1930s, a stream of
Christian refugees were fleeing massacres and genocide on the roads of Turkey,
Irak and Syria, the myth continued to flourish, sustained mostly by Arab writers
and clergyman. After the Israelis had succeeded in liberating their land from
the laws of JIHAD and DHIMMITUDE, the myth reappeared in the form of a
multi-cultural and multi-religious fraternal Palestine which had to replace the
State of Israel (Cf. Arafat's 1975 UN speech). Its pernicious effects led to the
destruction of the Christians in Lebanon. One might have thought that the myth
would end there.
But suddenly the recent crisis in Yugoslavia offered a new chance for its
reincarnation in a multi-religious Muslim Bosnian state. What a chance! A Muslim
state again in the heartland of Europe. And we know the rest, the sufferings,
the miseries, the trials of the war that this myth once again brought in its
wake.
To conclude, I would like to say a few last words. The civilisation of
dhimmitude does not develop all at once. It is a long process that involves many
elements and a specific conditioning. It happens when peoples replace history by
myths, when they fight to uphold these destructive myths, more then their own
values because they are confused by having transformed lies into truth. They
hold to those myths as if they were the only guarantee of their survival, when,
in fact, they are the path to destruction. Terrorised by the evidence and
teaching of history, those peoples preferred to destroy it rather than to face
it. They replace history with childish tales, thus living in amnesia.
Excerpt from author's interview for daily Politika....
Politika: What is your experience in relation to Dhimmitude having in mind the
fact that your are a Jew born in Egypt?
Madam Bat Ye'Or: "I was witness of expulsion of the Jewish community from Egypt
(85,000 persons). It was done in the ambient of hatred, terrorism, pillage and
robbery. It started in 1945 and had its peak in 1948 and 1956. Anyhow, this is
common experience of Jews in the entire Arab world. There used to be some
1,000,000 Jews there. Today only 10,000 remained. I wrote about it in one of my
books. Contacts with Arab Christians helped me a lot in my strive to widen the
understanding of the problem..."

Kosovo – Islamic Demographic Warfare from 1900 to present
The new situation arising from the unilateral Kosovo declaration of independence
shapes a new reality that will have multitude and mostly negative consequences
for countless nations across the globe. It is important also to illuminate
around the existence of the Kosovo issue as a demographic one, shaped by the
expansion of one group of people (Albanian Muslims) versus the other one
(Serbian Christians). Moreover the existence of facts on the ground as resulting
from the population growth of the former, signify a real precedent for other
regions in the world.[1]
In 1913 when Kosovo & Metojia became a part of the Serbian state the population
of Christians exceeded 50% , whilst the Albanians counted around 350,000 souls,
approximately 40%, the rest being occupied by Roma, Bosniaks, Turks and people
of mixed origin. A generation later in 1948, after WW2 that resulted in the
killings of 20,000 Serbs and the expulsion of some other 150,000 by the Nazi
Albanian collaborators, the balance tilted in favour of the Albanians. In
addition, the Tito administration willingly opened up the border up to 1949 and
accepted 150,000 illegal immigrants in order to deliberately change the
population makeup of the province as a counter-measure against the Serbs. Tito’s
motto was “For a strong Yugoslavia we need a weak Serbia”.
Thus, in 1961 the Albanians numbered 650,000 people, and the analogy was 65%
Albanians, 28% Serbians. From that period onwards a dramatic –And basically
unexplained- population expansion derived from the Albanian community. In the
mid-60’s the Albanian population had a 6.5 children per woman ratio, whilst the
Serbians around 2.5. Although the second number is enough to replace the
previous generation, it was much less and that resulted in a virtual takeover of
the land by the Albanians.
In 1981 just after Tito’s death and the start of the first rebellions in
Pristina, the Albanians numbered 1.2 million, a 100% increase in less than 20
years. The pressure exercised by them against the Serbian farmers that took the
form of homicides, arsons, rapes and vandalism obliged to an exodus a
considerable part of the Christian populous.[1]
Since 13/06/1999, 350,000 Serbians, Roma, Gorani and other were forced to flee
from Kosovo. It was a flight of survival, considering the 1,500 homicides
against Serbs in the coming months, up to early 2000. Around 80 UNESCO
“protected” Christian monuments were blown up by the Albanians in front of the
eyes of 40,000 KFOR personnel. It has to be stressed once more that even during
the days of the Ottoman Empire and the numerous battles in the eparchy, nowhere
close did the destruction of shrines came that close. Another 1,300 Serbs were
killed up to 2003, 80,000 houses and estates were grabbed by the Albanians along
with 20,000 automobiles and 15,000 shops, barns and commercial property. Some
other 30,000 houses were burned to the ground in well-organised arson a
campaigns another method regularly exercised by Kosovo-Albanians over the 20th
century. It is also interesting to point out the situation in Pristina, the
capital of Kosovo. Until 1999, Serbians constituted some 20% of the population.
Nowadays there is a mere 0.1% having being entirely wiped out. In 2004 the last
phase of the most recent genocide in a European soil (By Muslims against
Christians) took place. In a space of 2 days, 27 Churches were burned to the
ground, 7 Serbian villages, 40 people dead, 1,000 wounded and 4,000 refugees on
their way to Serbia.
Destruction of monasteries and churches in Kosovo[2]
According to the data from the Serbian Orthodox Church, nearly 150 churches and
monasteries have been destroyed for the last five years in Kosovo and Metochia,
the cradle of Serbian Orthodoxy.
Wahabism in Kosovo[3]
In 2002, soon after the invasion of Albanian terrorists in Macedonia, the local
government presented a 79 page report to the CIA, which highlighted the
collaboration of Albanians and Al Qaida on the Balkans. Since 1999, in Kosovo,
there have been built 24 Wahhabi mosques, 14 orphanages, and 24 elementary
schools all sponsored by the Wahhabi network. The situation in Albania is
similar where the religious leader is a disciple of the Wahhabi’s of Saudi
Arabia.

“498,000 (68.5%) in 1948; 647,000 (67.2%) in 1961; 916,000 (73.7%) in 1971; and
1,227,000 (77.5%) in 1981. (Albanian population) The Serbian population of
Kosovo, in contrast, increased in only absolute terms (171,000, 189,000,
227,000, and 228,000 in 1948, 1953, 1961, and 1971, respectively), while
initially stagnating and then declining in relative terms (23.6%, 23.5%, 23.6%,
and 18.4%). By 1981, however, there were 209,792 Serbs in Kosovo, comprising
only 13.2% of the total population. Therefore, between 1971 and 1981, the number
of Serbs in Kosovo decreased by 18,472 in absolute terms.” “The Montenegrin
population of Kosovo increased during the first three censuses after World War
II (28,000, 31,000, and 37,000 in 1948, 1951, and 1961, respectively), while in
1971 and 1981 their total population dropped first to 31,500 in 1971 and then to
26,000 in 1981. In 1981 the Montenegrins accounted for only 1.7% of the total
Kosovo population. The pressure exerted on Serbs and Montenegrins by Albanians,
including “many cases of physical attack, attempted rape, damage to crops, [and
the] desecration of Serbian monuments and gravestones,” has created a tense
atmosphere conducive to Slav emigration from the area.”

“Kosovo was annexed to Serbia after the Balkan war of 1912-1913 when the number
of Serbs and Albanians was nearly equal. Albanians began to arrive in Kosovo in
great numbers during the Second World War after the province was occupied by the
Nazis. Thousands of Serbs and Montenegrins were forced to leave Kosovo while
Albanians came to settle there from Albania.”

By Daniel Pipes
The terms; Palestine and Palestinians are Islamic imperialist phenomenon. There
is no such thing as a Palestinian people. Before 1948, they were referred to as
Syrians. There was only Syria. The Palestinian phenomenon was created with the
intention to justify Jihad.
During a meeting with leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) in
1976, Syrian President Hafiz al-Asad referred to Palestine as a region of Syria,
as Southern Syria. He then went on to tell the Palestinians: "You do not
represent Palestine as much as we do. Do not forget one thing: there is no
Palestinian people, no Palestinian entity, there is only Syria! You are an
integral part of the Syrian people and Palestine is an integral part of Syria.
Therefore it is we, the Syrian authorities, who are the real representatives of
the Palestinian people."
Although unusually candid, this outburst exemplifies a long tradition of Syrian
politics, and one that has gained increasing importance in recent years. The
Asad government presents itself as not just an Arab state protecting the rights
of the Palestinians but as the rightful ruler of the land that Israel controls.
According to this view, the existing republic of Syria is but a truncated part
of the Syrian lands; accordingly, the government in Damascus has a duty to unite
all Syrian regions, including Palestine, under its control.
The growth in Syrian military capabilities in recent years makes these ambitions
a major source of instability throughout the Levant. Indeed, the Syrian claim to
"Southern Syria" has become central to the Arab-Israeli conflict; Syrian has
become not only Israel's principal opponent, but also the PLO's. Damascus is
likely to retain this role for many years, certainly as long as Hafiz al-Asad
lives, and probably longer.
When Asad uses the term Southern Syria, he implicitly harks back to the old
meaning of the name "Syria." Historically, "Syria" (Suriya or Sham in Arabic)
refers to a region far larger than the Syrian Arab Republic of today. At a
minimum, historic Syria stretches from Anatolia to Egypt, and from Iraq to the
Mediterranean Sea. In terms of today's political geography, it comprises all of
four states-Syria, Jordan, Israel, and Lebanon-as well as the West Bank, the
Gaza Strip, and substantial portions of south-eastern Turkey. To distinguish
this territory from the present Syrian state, it is known as Greater Syria.
Until 1920, Syria meant Greater Syria to everyone, European and Middle Easterner
alike; For example, an early nineteenth-century Egyptian historian, 'Abd
ar-Rahman al-Jabarti, referred to the inhabitants of El Arish in the Sinai
Peninsula as Syrians. Palestine was called Southern Syria first in French, then
in other languages, including Arabic. The 1840 Convention of London called the
area around Akko "the southern part of Syria" and the 11th edition of the
Encyclopaedia Britannica (published in 1911) explains that Palestine "may be
said generally to denote the southern third of the province of Syria." These
examples could be multiplied a thousand-fold.
Creating a separate Palestinian state is as ridiculous as creating a separate
state called Kosovo. There are only two rightful claimants of Kosovo. Albania
and Serbia. Just like Syria and Israel in the Palestinian conflict.

Self interest and treason
It’s apparent that nations who act in accordance with their own short term goals
alone show no consideration for historical perspectives.
Where there should be a joint anti-Jihad action by the affected nations there is
no action, no consultation, no planning, just short term self interest.
Historical examples
- Europe’s refusal to aid Christian protectorates in the Middle East.
- Europe’s refusal to aid the Christian Byzantine Empire against the Jihadi
invasions.
- The Venetians refusal to side with the Serbians against the Ottoman invasions
(Svemirko's note).
- Napoleon invades Egypt in 1798 and takes control over Christian Malta and
Christian Palestine. However, Britain fights France defending the Ottomans.
Napoleon withdraws, the Turks regain Egypt, and Britain is rewarded with Malta.
- The Ottomans lose more lands from their crumbling Empire. During the series of
wars between 1806 and 1812, the Russians crush the Ottomans, who sign the Treaty
of Bucharest. One day after the Treaty, Napoleon attacks Russia.
- In 1854 Britain and France along with the Ottomans go to war against Russia in
the Crimean Peninsula. The allied forces defeat Russia and impose heavy
conditions in the Treaty of Paris, signed in 1856.
- Bosnia revolts against the taxation in 1875 and Bulgaria follows in 1876 to
become free from the Ottomans. The Turks ruthlessly massacre more than 12 000
men, women and children in Bulgaria, and thousands more all over the Balkans.
The Treaty of Kucuk Kaynarca of 1774 gave Russia the right to interfere in
Ottoman affairs to protect the Sultan’s Christian subjects. The British
Government defends the Ottoman actions, and a furious Russia declares war.
The war of 1877-78 takes place in the Balkans and on the Caucasus fronts. The
Russians along with other volunteer ethnic armies deal the Ottomans a crushing
defeat.
- In March of 1878 and under pressure from Britain, Russia enters into a
settlement under the Treaty of San Stefano, in which the Ottoman Empire
recognises the independence of Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, and autonomy of
Bulgaria.
- For commercial and political interests in mind, Britain’s Disraeli and the
Austrians insist that a new treaty be drawn up in June of that year, at a
congress of powers in Berlin.
At the Congress of Berlin, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro were recognised as
independent. And autonomous Bulgaria was greatly reduced and the
Austro-Hungarian Empire occupies Bosnia-Herzegovina. An Armenian delegation
headed by Bishop Mkrtich Khrimian is sent with a formal request for
implementation of the reforms for Armenians. Germany’s Bismarck dismisses the
delegation and refuses them a place on the agenda.
Britain secretly agrees with the Ottoman Empire that it would militarily protect
it from Russia and receives Cyprus in exchange.
Disraeli reverses article 16 to 61, which returns two Armenian provinces with no
Russians or Europeans to protect the Armenians. It leaves the same abusing
Sultan as the “guarantor” of their security from Muslim continuing abuses.
- After the Russo-Turkish War, the treatment of the more than 2,5 million
Armenians by the Ottoman Government became an international issue. Despite the
promises of reform by the Sublime Porte at the Congress of Berlin, the situation
even grew worse.
- 1945-> After the war the Soviet Union attempts to annul the Treaty of Kars
with Turkey and return parts of Northwestern Armenia. These efforts are halted
by intervention from Winston Churchill and Harry S. Truman.
- The close relationship with the United States begins with the Second Cairo
Conference in December 4-6, 1943 and the agreement of July 12, 1947 which
implements the Truman Doctrine. After 1945, in light of the Soviet domination
over Eastern Europe, the US supports Greece and Turkey with economic and
military aid to prevent their falling into the Soviet sphere. The act grant
Turkey more than 100 million USD in aid.
- On June 25, 1950 the Korean War starts. Despite being criticised inside
Turkey, the Army along with other 16 nations goes to war against North Korea.
Turkey participates in this campaign in order to gain membership in NATO, which
Turkey joins in 1952.
The Bulgarian- Turkish Plot
Bulgaria, half Turkish itself, entered into the plot to exterminate the Greek
Christians, by signing a pact with Turkey, at Adrianople in June, 1915. Under
this agreement Bulgaria consented to the establishment of a Turco-Bulgar
commercial union as the complement of the political union, the seizure of the
commerce of the Orient from the hands of the Greeks, (3) the establishment in
the Orient of Moslem agencies for the importation and exportation of goods for
the exclusive use of Moslems, who were to break of all commercial relations with
the Greeks, a restriction of the privileges of the Greek Patriarch and his
ecclesiastical jurisdiction, the prohibition of the teaching of Greek in future,
(6) the conversion by force of the
people in the Christian settlements and the imposition of mixed marriages.
Germany the Author of the Massacres
Herr Lepsius, a German Envoy who had been sent to Constantinople on a special
mission in July, 1915, acknowledged that the Greek and Armenian massacres were
two phases of a single program of extermination of the Christian elements,
intended to make Turkey a purely Moslem state.
That Germany was the author and inspiration of these massacres of Christians
became known in 1917. The Greek Minister at Constantinople, M. Kallerghis, had
protested the Turkish Grand Vizier, Talaat Bey, against the deportations of the
Greeks in the Aival district. Talaat Bey promised to telegraph to the German
General Liman von Sanders, telling him to cease the deportations. Von Sanders,
who was in fact Commander-in-Chief of all the Turkish forces, replied that if
the deportations ceased, he would not guarantee the safety of the Turkish Army,
adding that they had referred the matter to the German Grand Headquarters Staff,
who entirely approved of his action.
France supporting the Ottoman Empire
France sided with Islam in the 16 and 17 centuries when they actively helped the
Ottoman Empire against Spain and Austria. Examples of this: Kheir-ad-Din
Barbarossa harboured his fleet in Marseilles. Most notably the French did not go
to help Vienna against the Ottomans in 1683, but launched a military campaign of
conquest in German lands.

Knights Templar studies
Resources
There are a great number of books in print relating to the Templars, past
Crusades and medieval history. A majority are historical publications are based
on archaeological and chronicled evidence. Many of these publications are
available through the Freemasons libraries worldwide while others can be
acquired through Amazon.com.
Although a majority of modern chivalric organisations function mostly as
symbolic charities they are renowned for their thorough studies of historical
works.
Places of interest
I would strongly advice all Justiciar Knights to visit Valetta, Malta and
Jerusalem, Israel and to visit all the Knights Templar historical sites. There
are various Templar buildings in several European countries; France the UK,
Portugal, Spain, Italy etc.

EU’s Eurabia Project – Documenting the EU’s deliberate strategy to gradually
Islamise Europe. The Eurabia Code is a developed work of what Bat Ye'or' started
in her groundbreaking book Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis.
Eurabia: Arab League states, current and prospective European Union members and
Israel.
By Fjordman
I
decided to write this essay after a comment from a journalist, not a Leftist by
my country's standards, who dismissed Eurabia as merely a conspiracy theory, one
on a par with The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. I do not disagree with the
fact that conspiracy theories exist, nor that they can be dangerous. After all,
the Protocols and the Dolchstosslegende, or "stab in the back myth" - the idea
that Germany didn't lose WW1 but was betrayed by Socialists, intellectuals and
Jews - helped pave the way for Adolf Hitler and the Nazis before WW2.
However, what puzzles me is that it is a widely-held belief of many (not just in
the Islamic world but in Europe and even in the United States) that the terror
attacks that brought down the Twin Towers in New York City on September 11th
2001 were really a controlled demolition staged by the American government and
then blamed on Muslims. I have seen this thesis talked about many times in
Western media. While it is frequently (though not always) dismissed and mocked,
it is least mentioned.
In contrast, Eurabia - which asserts that the Islamisation of Europe didn't
happen merely by accident but with the active participation of European
political leaders - is hardly ever referred to at all, despite the fact that it
is easier to document. Does the notion of Eurabia hit too close to home? Perhaps
it doesn't fit with the anti-American disposition of many journalists? Curiously
enough, even those left-leaning journalists who are otherwise critical of the
European Union because of its free market elements never write about Eurabia.
Because of this, I am going to test whether the Eurabia thesis is correct, or at
least plausible. I have called this project The Eurabia Code, alluding to author
Dan Brown's massive bestseller The Da
Vinci Code. Brown's fictional account "documents" a conspiracy by the Church
to cover up the truth about Jesus. I'm not sure my work will become equally
popular, but I'm pretty sure it's closer to reality. The next time Mr. Brown
wants to write about massive conspiracies in Europe, he would be well-advised to
set his eyes at Brussels rather than Rome. It would be a whole lot more
interesting.
What follows is a brief outline of the thesis put forward by writer Bat Ye'or in
her book Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis.
My information is based on her book (which should be read in full). In addition
I have drawn from some of her articles and interviews. I republish the
information with her blessing, but this summary is completely my own.
In an interview with Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Bat Ye'or explained how French
President Charles de Gaulle, disappointed by the loss of the French colonies in
Africa and the Middle East as well as with France's waning influence in the
international arena, decided in the 1960's to create a strategic alliance with
the Arab and Muslim world to compete with the dominance of the United States and
the Soviet Union.
"This is a matter of a total transformation of Europe, which is the result of an
intentional policy," said Bat Ye'or. "We are now heading towards a total change
in Europe, which will be more and more Islamicised and will become a political
satellite of the Arab and Muslim world. The European leaders have decided on an
alliance with the Arab world, through which they have committed to accept the
Arab and Muslim approach toward the United States and Israel. This is not only
with respect to foreign policy, but also on issues engaging European society
from within, such as immigration, the integration of the immigrants and the idea
that Islam is part of Europe."
"Europe is under a constant threat of terror. Terror is a way of applying
pressure on the European countries to surrender constantly to the Arab
representatives' demands. They demand, for example, that Europe always speak out
for the Palestinians and against Israel."
Thus, the Eurabian project became an enlarged vision of the anti-American
Gaullist policy dependent upon the formation of a Euro-Arab entity hostile to
American influence. It facilitated European ambitions to maintain important
spheres of influence in the former European colonies, while opening huge markets
for European products in the Arab world, especially in oil-producing countries,
in order to secure supplies of petroleum and natural gas to Europe. In addition,
it would make the Mediterranean a Euro-Arab inland sea by favoring Muslim
immigration and promoting multiculturalism with a strong Islamic presence in
Europe.
The use of the term "Eurabia" was first introduced in the mid-1970s, as the
title of a journal edited by the President of the Association for Franco-Arab
Solidarity, Lucien Bitterlein, and published collaboratively by the Groupe
d'Etudes sur le Moyen-Orient (Geneva), France-Pays Arabes (Paris), and the
Middle East International (London). Their articles called for common Euro-Arab
positions at every level. These concrete proposals were not the musings of
isolated theorists; instead they put forth concrete policy decisions conceived
in conjunction with, and actualised by, European state leaders and European
Parliamentarians.
During a November 27, 1967 press conference, Charles de Gaulle stated openly
that French cooperation with the Arab world had become "the fundamental basis of
our foreign policy." By January 1969, the Second International Conference in
Support of the Arab Peoples, held in Cairo, in its resolution 15, decided "...to
form special parliamentary groups, where they did not exist, and to use the
parliamentary platform support of the Arab people and the Palestinian
resistance." Five years later in Paris, July 1974, the Parliamentary Association
for Euro-Arab Cooperation was created, under the Euro-Arab Dialogue rubric.
Bat Ye'or has highlighted this shared Euro-Arab political agenda. The first step
was the construction of a common foreign policy. France was the driving force in
this unification, which had already been envisaged by General de Gaulle's inner
circle and Arab politicians.
The Arab states demanded from Europe access to Western science and technology,
European political independence from the United States, European pressure on the
United States to align with their Arab policy and demonisation of Israel as a
threat to world peace, as well as measures favorable to Arab immigration and
dissemination of Islamic culture in Europe. This cooperation would also included
recognition of the Palestinians as a distinct people and the PLO and its leader
Arafat as their representative. Up to 1973 they had been known only as Arab
refugees, even by other Arabs. The concept of a Palestinian "nation" simply did
not exist.
During the 1973 oil crisis, the Arab members of the Organisation of Petroleum
Exporting Countries announced that, due to the ongoing Yom Kippur War between
Israel and its Arab neighbours Egypt and Syria, OPEC would no longer ship
petroleum to Western nations that supported Israel. The sudden increase in oil
prices was had lasting effects. Not only did it create a strong influx of
petrodollars to countries such as Saudi Arabia, which permitted the Saudis to
fund a worldwide Islamic resurgence, but it also had an impact in the West,
especially in Europe.
However, Arab leaders had to sell their oil. Their people are very dependent on
European economic and technological aid. The Americans made this point during
the oil embargo in 1973. According to Ye'or, although the oil factor certainly
helped cement the Euro-Arab Dialogue, it was primarily a pretext to cover up a
policy that emerged in France before that crisis occurred. The policy, conceived
in the 1960s, had strong antecedents in the French 19th-century dream of
governing an Arab empire.
This political agenda has been reinforced by the deliberate cultural
transformation of Europe. Euro-Arab Dialogue Symposia conducted in Venice (1977)
and Hamburg (1983) included recommendations that have been successfully
implemented. These recommendations were accompanied by a deliberate, privileged
influx of Arab and other Muslim immigrants into Europe in enormous numbers.
The recommendations included:
1.
Coordination of the efforts made by the Arab countries to spread the Arabic
language and culture in Europe,
2. Creation of joint Euro-Arab
Cultural Centers in European capitals,
3. The necessity of supplying
European institutions and universities with Arab teachers specialised in
teaching Arabic to Europeans, and
4. The necessity of cooperation
between European and Arab specialists in order to present a positive picture of
Arab-Islamic civilisation and contemporary Arab issues to the educated public in
Europe.
These agreements could not be set forth in written documents and treaties due to
their politically sensitive and fundamentally undemocratic nature. The European
leaders thus carefully chose to call their ideas "dialogue." All meetings,
committees and working groups included representatives from European Community
nations and the European Council along with members from Arab countries and the
Arab League. Proceedings and decisions took place in closed sessions. No
official minutes were recorded.
The Euro-Arab Dialogue (EAD) is a political, economic and cultural institution
designed to ensure perfect cohesion between Europeans and Arabs. Its structure
was set up at conferences in Copenhagen (15 December 1973), and Paris (31 July
1974). The principal agent of this policy is the European Parliamentary
Association for Euro-Arab Cooperation, founded in 1974. The other principal
organs of The Dialogue are the MEDEA Institute and the European Institute of
Research on Mediterranean and Euro-Arab Cooperation, created in 1995 with the
backing of the European Commission.
In an interview with Jamie Glazov of Frontpage Magazine, Ye'or explained how "in
domestic policy, the EAD established a close cooperation between the Arab and
European media television, radio, journalists, publishing houses, academia,
cultural centers, school textbooks, student and youth associations, tourism.
Church interfaith dialogues were determinant in the development of this policy.
Eurabia is therefore this strong Euro-Arab network of associations - a
comprehensive symbiosis with cooperation and partnership on policy, economy,
demography and culture."
Eurabia's driving force, the Parliamentary Association for Euro-Arab
Cooperation, was created in Paris in 1974. It now has over six hundred members -
from all major European political parties - active in their own national
parliaments, as well as in the European parliament. France continues to be the
key protagonist of this association.
A wide-ranging policy was sketched out. It entailed a symbiosis of Europe with
the Muslim Arab countries that would endow Europe - and especially France, the
project's prime mover - with a weight and a prestige to rival that of the United
States. This policy was undertaken quite discreetly, and well outside of
official treaties, using the innocent-sounding name of the Euro-Arab Dialogue.
The organisation functioned under the auspices of European government ministers,
working in close association with their Arab counterparts, and with the
representatives of the European Commission and the Arab League. The goal was the
creation of a pan-Mediterranean entity, permitting the free circulation both of
men and of goods.
On the cultural front there began a complete re-writing of history, which was
first undertaken during the 1970s in European universities. This process was
ratified by the parliamentary assembly of the Council of Europe in September
1991, at its meeting devoted to "The Contribution of the Islamic Civilisation to
European culture." It was reaffirmed by French President Jacques Chirac in his
address of April 8, 1996 in Cairo, and reinforced by Romano Prodi, president of
the powerful European Commission, the EU's "government," and later Italian Prime
Minister, through the creation of a Foundation on the Dialogue of Cultures and
Civilisations. This foundation was to control everything said, written and
taught about Islam in Europe.
Over the past three decades, the EEC and the EU's political and cultural
organisations have invented a fantasy Islamic civilisation and history. The
historical record of violations of basic human rights for all non- Muslims and
women under sharia (Islamic Law) is either ignored or dismissed. In this
worldview the only dangers come from the United States and Israel. The creators
of Eurabia have conducted a successful propaganda campaign against these two
countries in the European media. This fabrication was made easier by
pre-existing currents of anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism in parts of Europe,
although both sentiments have been greatly inflated by Eurabians and their
collaborators.
On January 31, 2001, with the recrudescence of Palestinian terrorist jihad,
European Foreign Affairs Commissioner Chris Patten declared to the European
Parliament that Europe's foreign policy should give special attention to its
southern flank (the Arab countries, in EU jargon), adding that he was delighted
by the general agreement to give greater visibility to the Mediterranean
Partnership.
Bat Ye'or thinks that "Our politicians are perfectly informed of Islamic history
and current policies by their embassies, agents and specialists. There is no
innocence there, but tremendous inflexibility in corruption, cynicism and the
perversion of values."
In the preface to her book, she states that "This book describes Europe's
evolution from a Judeo-Christian civilisation, with important post-Enlightenment
secular elements, into a post- Judeo-Christian civilisation that is subservient
to the ideology of jihad and the Islamic powers."
The new European civilisation in the making can correctly be termed a
''civilisation of dhimmitude.'' The word dhimmitude comes from the Koranic word
''dhimmi.'' It refers to the subjugated, non-Muslim individuals who accept
restrictive and humiliating subordination to Islamic power in order to avoid
enslavement or death. The entire Muslim world as we know it today is a product
of this 1,300 year-old jihad dynamic, whereby once thriving non-Muslim majority
civilisations have been reduced to a state of dysfunction and dhimmitude. The
dhimmis are inferior beings who endure humiliation and aggression in silence.
This arrangement allows Muslims to enjoy an impunity that increases both their
hatred and their feeling of superiority, under the protection of the law.
Eurabia is a novel new entity. It possesses political, economic, religious,
cultural, and media components, which are imposed on Europe by powerful
governmental lobbies. While Europeans live within Eurabia's constraints, outside
of a somewhat confused awareness, few are really conscious of them on a daily
basis.
This Eurabian policy, expressed in obscure wording, is conducted at the highest
political levels and coordinated over the whole of the European Union. It
spreads an anti-American and anti-Semitic Euro-Arab sub-culture into the fiber
of every social, media and cultural sector. Dissidents are silenced or
boycotted. Sometimes they are fired from their jobs, victims of a totalitarian
"correctness" imposed mainly by the academic, media and political sectors.
According to Ye'or, France and the rest of Western Europe can no longer change
their policy: "It is a project that was conceived, planned and pursued
consistently through immigration policy, propaganda, church support, economic
associations and aid, cultural, media and academic collaboration. Generations
grew up within this political framework; they were educated and conditioned to
support it and go along with it."
Are Bat Ye'or's claims correct, or even possible?
Bernard Lewis has pointed out that, by common consent among historians, "the
modern history of the Middle East begins in the year 1798, when the French
Revolution arrived in Egypt in the form of a small expeditionary force led by a
young general called Napoleon Bonaparte-who conquered and then ruled it for a
while with appalling ease."
In an unsuccessful effort to gain the support of the Egyptian populace, Napoleon
issued [1] proclamations praising Islam. "People of Egypt," he proclaimed upon
his entry to Alexandria in 1798, "You will be told that I have come to destroy
your religion; do not believe it! Reply that I have come to restore your rights,
to punish the usurpers, and that more than the Mamluks, I respect God, his
Prophet, and the Qur'an."
According to an eyewitness, Napoleon ended his proclamation with the phrase,
"God is great and Muhammad is his prophet." To Muslim ears, this sounded like
the shahada - the declaration of belief in the oneness of Allah and in Prophet
Muhammad as his last messenger. Recitation of the shahadah, the first of the
five pillars of Islam, is considered to mark one's conversion to Islam. Muslims
could thus conclude that Napoleon had converted to Islam [2]. In fact, one of
his generals, Jacques Ménou, did convert to Islam.
The French were later defeated and forced to leave Egypt by the English admiral
Lord Nelson. Although the French expedition to Egypt lasted only three years, it
demonstrated that the West was now so superior to the Islamic world that
Westerners could enter the Arab heartland, then still a part of the Ottoman
Empire, at will. Only another Western power could force them to leave. The shock
of this realisation triggered the first attempts to reform Islam in the 19th
century.
A positive result of Western conquest was the influx of French scientists into
Egypt and the foundation of modern Egyptology. Most importantly, it led to the
discovery of the Rosetta Stone, which was later used by French philologist
Jean-François Champollion to decipher the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. However,
the encounter also left a lasting impact in Europe, and above all in France.
The French invasion of Algeria in 1830 marked another chapter in this tale.
Later, the French ruled Tunisia and Morocco. Finally, after the First World War,
the French gained mandates over the former Turkish territories of the Ottoman
Empire that make up what is now Syria and Lebanon. After the Second World War,
French troops gradually left Arab lands, culminating with war and Algerian
independence in 1962. However, their long relationship with Arabs resulted in
France's belief that she had a special relationship with and an understanding of
Arabs and Muslims. Along with French leadership in continental Europe, this
would now provide the basis of a new foreign policy.
President de Gaulle pushed for a France and a Europe independent of the two
superpowers. In a speech, he stated that "Yes, it is Europe, from the Atlantic
to the Urals, it is Europe, it is the whole of Europe, that will decide the
destiny of the world." In 1966, he withdrew France from the common NATO military
command, but remained within the organisation.
Following the Six Days War in 1967, de Gaulle's condemnation of the Israelis for
their occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip marked a significant change
in French foreign policy. Previously, France - as well as the rest of Western
Europe - had been strongly pro-Israel, even going to war together with Israel as
late as 1956 against Nasser's Egypt. From 1967 on, however, France embarked on a
decidedly pro-Arab course.
It has been said that English foreign policy has remained the same since the
16th century. Its goal was to prevent any country, whether Spain, France, or
later Germany, from dominating continental Europe to the extent that it
represents a threat to England. On the other hand, one could argue that French
foreign policy has also remained the same for several centuries; its goal is to
champion French leadership over Europe and the Mediterranean region in order to
contain Anglo-Saxon (and later Anglo-American) dominance. This picture was
complicated by the unification of Germany in the late 19th century, but its
outlines remain to this day.
Napoleon is the great hero of French PM de Villepin. Several prominent French
leaders stated quite openly in 2005 that the proposed EU Constitution was
basically an enlarged France. Justice Minister Dominique Perben said: "We have
finally obtained this 'Europe à la française' that we have awaited for so long.
This constitutional treaty is an enlarged France. It is a Europe written in
French."
From its inception, European integration has been [3] a French-led enterprise.
The fact that the French political elite have never renounced the maintenance of
their leadership over Europe was amply demonstrated during the Iraq war.
President Chirac famously said in 2003 after Poland, Hungary and the Czech
Republic backed the US position "They missed a good opportunity to shut up,"
adding "These countries have been not very well behaved and rather reckless of
the danger of aligning themselves too rapidly with the American position."
Jean Monnet, French economist never elected to public office, is regarded by
many as the architect of European integration. Monnet was a well-connected
pragmatist who worked behind the scenes towards the gradual creation of European
unity.
Richard North, publisher of the blog EU Referendum [4] and co-author (with
Christopher Booker) of The Great
Deception: Can The European Union Survive, relates that for years - at least
from the 1920s - Jean Monnet had dreamed of building a "United States of
Europe." Although what Monnet really had in mind was the creation of a European
entity with all the attributes of a state, an "anodyne phrasing was deliberately
chosen with a view to making it difficult to dilute by converting it into just
another intergovernmental body. It was also couched in this fashion so that it
would not scare off national governments by emphasising that its purpose was to
override their sovereignty."
In their analysis of the EU's history, the authors claim that the EU was not
born out of WW2, as many people seem to think. It had been planned at least a
generation before that.
The Schuman Declaration of 9 May 1950, widely presented as the beginning of the
efforts towards a European Union and commemorated in "Europe Day," contains
phrases which state that it is "a first step in the federation of Europe", and
that "this proposal will lead to the realisation of the first concrete
foundation of a European federation." However, as critics of the EU have noted,
these political objectives are usually omitted when the Declaration is referred
to, and most people are unaware of their existence.
A federation is, of course, a State and "yet for decades now the champions of
EC/EU integration have been swearing blind that they have no knowledge of any
such plans. The EEC/EC/EU has steadily acquired ever more features of a
supranational Federation: flag, anthem, Parliament, Supreme Court, currency,
laws."
The EU founders "were careful only to show their citizens the benign features of
their project. It had been designed to be implemented incrementally, as an
ongoing process, so that no single phase of the project would arouse sufficient
opposition as to stop or derail it."
Booker and North call the European Union "a slow-motion coup d'état: the most
spectacular coup d'état in history," designed to gradually and carefully
sideline the democratic process and subdue the older nation states of Europe
without saying so publicly.
The irony is that France is now held hostage [5] by the very forces she herself
set in motion. The Jihad riots by Muslim immigrants in France in 2005
demonstrated that Eurabia is no longer a matter of French foreign policy, it is
now French domestic policy. France will burn unless she continues to appease
Arabs and agree to their agenda.
The growth of the Islamic population is explosive. According to some, one out of
three babies born in France is a Muslim. Hundreds of Muslim ghettos already de
facto follow sharia, not French law. Some believe France will quietly become a
Muslim country, while others are predicting a civil war in the near future.
Maybe there is some poetic justice in the fact that the country that initiated
and has led the formation of Eurabia will now be destroyed by its own
Frankenstein monster. However, gloating over France's dilemma won't help. The
impending downfall of France is bad news for the rest of the West. What will
happen to French financial resources? Above all, who will inherit hundreds of
nuclear warheads? Will these weapons fall into the hands of Jihadist Muslims,
too?
MEDEA (the European Institute for Research on Mediterranean and Euro-Arab
Cooperation), supported by the European Commission, is one of the key components
of the Euro-Arab dialogue. On its own webpage, it states that:
"The Euro-Arab Dialogue as a forum shared by the European Community and the
League of Arab States arose out of a French initiative and was launched at the
European Council in Copenhagen in December 1973, shortly after the "October War"
and the oil embargo. As the Europeans saw it, it was to be a forum to discuss
economic affairs, whereas the Arab side saw it rather as one to discuss
political affairs.
MEDEA Institute wishes to be a resource and a reference point for people wanting
to engage in the Euro-Mediterranean dialogue. Via its meetings and talks the
Institute seeks to create exchanges between political, economic, and diplomatic
players, experts, journalists, academics and others."
As Bat Ye'or points out, while most of the workings of Eurabia are hidden from
the public view, sometimes we can catch glimpses of it if we know what to look
for. If you search the archives of the MEDEA website and other sources and read
the documents carefully, the information is there. Even more material exists on
paper, both in French and in English. I argue, as does Bat Ye'or, that there are
sufficient amounts of information available to validate the thesis of Eurabia.
One of the documents Bat Ye'or was kind enough to send me (which she mentions in
the French version of her book about Eurabia but not in the English version) is
the Common Strategy of the European Council - Vision of the EU for the
Mediterranean Region, from June 19th 2000.
It includes many recommendations, such as:
"to elaborate partnership-building measures, notably by promoting regular
consultations and exchanges of information with its Mediterranean partners,
support the interconnection of infrastructure between Mediterranean partners,
and between them and the EU, take all necessary measures to facilitate and
encourage the involvement of civil society as well as the further development of
human exchanges between the EU and the Mediterranean partners. NGOs will be
encouraged to participate in cooperation at bilateral and regional levels.
Particular attention will be paid to the
media and universities [my emphasis]."
It also includes the goal of assisting the Arab partners with "the process of
achieving free trade with the EU." This may be less innocent than it sounds, as
I will come back to later.
The Strategy also wants to "pursue, in order to fight intolerance, racism and
xenophobia, the dialogue between cultures and civilisations." Notice that this
statement preceded both the start of the second Palestinian intifada as well as
the terror attacks of September 11th 2001. It was thus part of an ongoing
process, rather than a response to any particular international incident.
One point in the document is particularly interesting. The EU wanted to "promote
the identification of correspondences between legal systems of different
inspirations in order to resolve civil law problems relating to individuals:
laws of succession and family law, including divorce."
In plain English, it is difficult to see this bureaucratic obfuscation as
anything other than an indicator that the EU countries will be lenient,
adjusting their secular legislation to the sharia requirements of Muslim
immigrants in family matters.
In another document from December 2003, which is available online, Javier
Solana, the Secretary General of the Council of the European Union, Romano
Prodi, President of the European Commission and Chris Patten, member of the
European Commission, have signed a plan for "Strengthening the EU's Partnership
with the Arab World."
This includes the creation of a free trade area, but also plans to "invigorate
cultural/religious/civilisation and media dialogue using existing or planned
instruments, including the planned Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the
Dialogue of Cultures and Civilisations.
Arab immigrants make a substantial contribution to the development of Europe.
The EU is firmly committed to fight all manifestations of racism and
discrimination in all its forms. [What
constitutes discrimination? Secular laws?] Full respect for the rights of
immigrants in Europe is a consistent policy throughout Europe. Its
implementation should be improved further and co-operation in the framework of
existing agreements should be enhanced to take into account the concerns of Arab
partners."
Super-Eurocrat Romano Prodi wants more cooperation with Arab countries. He talks
about a free trade zone with the Arab world, but this implies that Arab
countries would enjoy access to the four freedoms of the EU's inner market,
which includes the free movement of
people across national borders. This fact, the potentially massive
implications of establishing an "inner market" with an Arab world with a booming
population growth, is virtually NEVER debated or even mentioned in European
media. Yet it could mean the end of Europe as we once knew it.
Another statement [6] from the "Sixth Euro-Med Ministerial Conference:
reinforcing and bringing the Partnership forward" in Brussels, 28 November 2003,
makes the intention of this internal Euro-Mediterranean market:
"This initiative offers the EU's neighbouring partners, in exchange for tangible
political and economic reforms, gradual integration into the expanded European
internal market and the possibility of ultimately reaching the EU's four
fundamental freedoms: free movement of goods, services, capital
and people [my
emphasis]. Ministers are also expected to back the Commission's proposal1 to
set up a Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue of Cultures, a
Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly."
In June 2006, then newly elected Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi stated that
[7]:
"It's time to look south and relaunch a new policy of cooperation for the
Mediterranean." Prodi was outlining a joint Italian-Spanish initiative which
sought to provide countries facing the Mediterranean with "different" political
solutions from those offered in the Euro-Mediterranean partnership. The prime
minister then explained that the Barcelona Process - whose best known aspect is
the creation of a free trade zone by 2010 - was no longer sufficient and a new
different approach was needed. "The countries on the southern shores of the
Mediterranean expect that from us" he added.
Notice how Prodi, whom Bat Ye'or has identified as a particularly passionate
Eurabian, referred to what the Arabs expected from European leaders. He failed
to say whether or not there was great excitement among Europeans over the
prospect of an even freer flow of migrants from Arab countries and Turkey, which
is what will result from this "Euro-Mediterranean free trade zone."
During the Euro-Mediterranean mid-term Meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs
in Dublin in May 2004 [8], the participants declared that:
"Work is now in progress to develop an agreed view on relations with the area
which extends from Mauritania to Iran - the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
The [European] Union has proposed to include Mediterranean partners in the
European Neighbourhood Policy."
The EU can offer a more intensive political dialogue and greater access to EU
programmes and policies, including their gradual participation in the four
freedoms particularly the Single Market, as well as reinforced co-operation on
justice and home affairs."
Again, exactly what does "co-operation on justice and home affairs" with Egypt,
Syria and Algeria mean? I don't know, but I'm not sure whether I will like the
answer.
The Barcelona declaration [9] from 1995 encouraged "contacts between
parliamentarians" and invited the European Parliament, with other Parliaments,
to launch "the Euro-Mediterranean parliamentary dialogue." In March 2004, this
was converted into a specific institution called The Euro-Mediterranean
Parliamentary Assembly, EMPA (pdf) [10]. During the Euro-Mediterranean
Ministerial Conference in Crete in May 2003, the Ministers included a provision
which envisaged the consultative role the Parliamentary Assembly will play
within the framework of the Barcelona process.
EU Commissioner Chris Patten has reiterated the European Commission's readiness
to co-operate fully with the Assembly, giving the Assembly the right to comment
on any subject of interest to the Euro-Arab Dialogue.
The Assembly consists of 120 members from EU countries, both members of national
parliaments and of the European Parliament, and an equal number of
representatives from the Parliaments of the Mediterranean partner countries.
Like most Europeans, I hadn't even heard about this institution before coming
across it during an Internet search. However, it is apparently going to
influence the future of my entire continent. This set-up leaves me with some
questions. When we know that these "Mediterranean partner countries" include
non-democratic Arab countries such as Syria, isn't it disturbing that
representatives from these countries should participate in a permanent
institution with consultative powers over the internal affairs of the European
Union? Especially when we know that our own, democratically elected national
parliaments have already been reduced to the status of "consultation" with
unelected federal EU lawmakers in Brussels?
The Algiers Declaration [11] for a Shared Vision of the Future was made after a
Congress held in Algeria in February 2006. The document states that: "It is
essential to create a Euro-Mediterranean entity founded on Universal Values" and
that "It is crucial to positively emphasise all common cultural heritage, even
if marginalised or forgotten." A Common Action Plan draws up a large number of
recommendations on how to achieve this new Euro-Mediterranean entity. Among
these recommendations are:
·
Adapt existing organisations and the contents of media to the objectives of the
North- South dialogue, and set up a Euro-Mediterranean journalism centre
·
Set up a network jointly managed by the Mediterranean partners in order to
develop "a harmonised education system" [A
"harmonised education system" between the Arab world and Europe? What does that
include? Do I want to know? Will they tell us before it is a fait accompli?]
·
Facilitate the transfer of know-how between the EU countries and the
Mediterranean partner nations and "encourage the circulation of individuals"
·
Prepare action and arguments in support of facilitating the mobility of
individuals, especially of students, intellectuals, artists, businessmen "and
all conveyors of dialogue"
·
Set up Ministries responsible for Mediterranean affairs in countries of the
North and of the South [Europe and the Arab world, in Eurocrat newspeak], in
order to benefit from a better management of Mediterranean policy;
·
Train teachers and exchange students between the North and the South and set up
a network of Euro-Mediterranean Youth clubs
·
Establish a "civil watchdog" anti-defamation observatory (with an Internet tool
and a legal help network), to cope with racist remarks and the propagation of
hate towards people of different religion, nationality or ethnical background
These agreements, completely rewriting European history books to make them more
Islam-friendly, and gradually silencing "Islamophobia" as racism, are being
implemented even now.
Walter Schwimmer, the Austrian diplomat and Secretary General of the Council of
Europe from 1999 to 2004, told foreign ministers at the Islamic conference in
Istanbul (June15th 2004) that the Islamic component is an integral part of
Europe's diversity. He reaffirmed the commitment of the Council of Europe to
work against Islamophobia, anti-Semitism and other forms of intolerance.
The Council was also actively involved in the co-organisation of a Conference on
the Image of Arab-Islamic culture in European history textbooks, which took
place in Cairo in December 2004. The event was held within the framework of the
Euro-Arab Dialogue ''Learning to Live together.'' [12] The aim of the conference
was to examine negative stereotyping in the image of Arab-Islamic culture
presented in existing history textbooks, and to discuss ways to overcome this
stereotyping.
In the European Parliament, the German Christian Democrat Hans-Gert Pöttering
[13] stated that school textbooks should be reviewed for intolerant depictions
of Islam by experts overseen by the European Union and Islamic leaders. He said
textbooks should be checked to ensure they promoted European values without
propagating religious stereotypes or prejudice. He also suggested that the EU
could co-operate with the 56-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference to
create a textbook review committee.
In June 2005 in Rabat [14], Morocco, a conference was held on "Fostering
Dialogue among Cultures and Civilisations." The Conference was jointly organised
by UNESCO, the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation
(ISESCO), the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the Arab League
Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organisation (ALECSO), the Danish Centre
for Culture and Development (DCCD) and the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean
Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures (Alexandria, Egypt).
Notice that this was months before the Danish Muhammad cartoons created havoc.
It was not a reaction to this issue; rather it was a part of a sustained,
ongoing process to promote the Arabic-Islamic culture in Europe.
Among the recommendations that were raised by Mr. Olaf Gerlach Hansen, Director
General of the DCCD: "We are interested in new actions in the media, in culture
and in education. These proposals include:
- Concrete initiatives to develop "intercultural competencies" in the training
of new generations of journalists - Concrete initiatives for links and exchanges
between journalists, editors, media-institutions, which encourage intercultural
co-operation" - Concrete initiatives for curriculum development through new
educational materials and revision of existing textbooks.
Although not stated directly, one may reasonably assume that among the "negative
stereotypes" to be removed from the textbooks used to teach history to European
schoolchildren are any and all references to the 1300 years of continuous Jihad
warfare against Europe. These recommendations were accepted and incorporated
into The Rabat Commitment [15].
According to Serge Trifkovic [16], "The present technological, cultural and
financial strength of Europe is a façade that conceals a deep underlying moral
and demographic weakness. The symptoms of the malaise are apparent in the
unprecedented demographic collapse and in the loss of a sense of place and
history that go hand-in-hand with the expansion of the European Union. The
emerging transnational hyper-state is actively indoctrinating its
subject-population into believing and accepting that the demographic shift in
favor of Muslim aliens is actually a blessing."
He points out specifically the EU Parliamentary Assembly Recommendation N° 1162
(19 September 1991) on "the contribution of the Islamic civilisation to European
culture." A decade later, in its General policy recommendation n° 5: "Combating
intolerance and discrimination against Muslims," the European Commission against
Racism and Intolerance emphasised "Islam's positive contribution to the
continuing development of European societies, of which it is an integral part."
It expressed strong regret "that Islam is sometimes portrayed inaccurately [as]
a threat."
The ECRI called on the EU member states to adopt measures that would effectively
outlaw any serious debate about Islam and introduce pro-Muslim "affirmative
action." European countries should:
·
Modify curricula to prevent "distorted interpretations of religious and cultural
history" and "portrayal of Islam on perceptions of hostility and menace";
·
Encourage debate in the media on the image which they convey of Islam and on
their responsibility to avoid perpetuating prejudice and bias.
Trifkovic says "Cynically defeatist, self-absorbed and unaccountable to anyone
but their own corrupt class, the Eurocrats are just as bad as jihad's
fellow-travelers; they are its active abettors and facilitators."
Eurabians want to create a unity of the Mediterranean region. This desire is
strikingly similar to the goals of some Islamic organisations.
The Muslim Brotherhood, regarded as the most important Islamic movement of the
past century, was founded by Hassan al-Banna in 1928, inspired by contemporary
European Fascists in addition to Islamic texts.
German historian Egon Flaig [17] quotes Banna as saying:
"We want the flag of Islam to fly over those lands again who were lucky enough
to be ruled by Islam for a time, and hear the call of the muezzin praise God.
Then the light of Islam died out and they returned to disbelief. Andalusia,
Sicily, the Balkans, Southern Italy and the Greek islands are all Islamic
colonies which have to return to Islam's embrace. The Mediterranean and the Red
Sea have to become internal seas of Islam, as they used to be."
Patrick Poole describes [18] how discussion of a document called "The Project"
so far has been limited to the top-secret world of Western intelligence
communities. Only through the work of an intrepid Swiss journalist, Sylvain
Besson, has information regarding The Project finally been made public. It was
found in a raid of a luxurious villa in Campione, Switzerland on November 7,
2001. The target of the raid was Youssef Nada, who has had active association
with the Muslim Brotherhood for more than 50 years.
Included in the documents seized was a 14-page plan written in Arabic and dated
December 1, 1982, which outlined a 12-point strategy to "establish an Islamic
government on earth" - identified as The Project. According to testimony given
to Swiss authorities by Nada, the unsigned document was prepared by "Islamic
researchers" associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. It represents a flexible,
multi-phased, long-term approach to the "cultural invasion" of the West.
The Project has served for more than two decades as the Muslim Brotherhood
"master plan." Some of it recommendations include:
·
Using deception to mask the intended goals of Islamist actions
·
Building extensive social networks of schools, hospitals and charitable
organisations
·
Involving ideologically committed Muslims in institutions on all levels in the
West, including government, NGOs, private organisations
·
Instrumentally using existing Western institutions until they can be put into
service of Islam
·
Instituting alliances with Western "progressive" organisations that share
similar goals
Included among this group of Muslim Brotherhood intellectuals is Youssef
al-Qaradhawi, an Egyptian-born, Qatar-based Islamist cleric. Both Sylvain Besson
and Scott Burgess provide extensive comparisons between Qaradhawi's publication,
Priorities of the Islamic Movement in the Coming Phase, published in 1990, and
The Project. They note the striking similarities in the language used and the
plans and methods both documents advocate.
As Patrick Poole says, "What is startling is how effectively the Islamist plan
for conquest outlined in The Project has been implemented by Muslims in the West
for more than two decades."
Youssef al-Qaradhawi, one of the most influential clerics in Sunni Islam, has
predicted that "Islam will return to Europe as a conqueror [19] and victor," was
an important figure during the Muhammad cartoons riots, whipping up anger [20]
against Denmark and the West.
According to Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld [21]and Alyssa A. Lappen, "Clearly, the riots
in Denmark and throughout the world were not spontaneous, but planned and
organised well in advance by Islamist organisations that support the MB, and
with funding mostly from Saudi Arabia."
The current leader of the international Muslim Brotherhood, Mohammad Mahdi Akef,
recently issued a new strategy calling on all its member organisations to serve
its global agenda of defeating the West. Akef has called the U.S. "a Satan." "I
expect America to collapse soon," declaring, "I have complete faith that Islam
will invade Europe and America."
Ehrenfeld and Lappen state that the Muslim Brotherhood and its offspring
organisations employ the Flexibility strategy:
"This strategy calls for a minority group of Muslims to use all "legal" means to
infiltrate majority-dominated, non-Muslim secular and religious institutions,
starting with its universities. As a result, "Islamised" Muslim and non-Muslim
university graduates enter the nation's workforce, including its government and
civil service sectors, where they are poised to subvert law enforcement
agencies, intelligence communities, military branches, foreign services, and
financial institutions."
In the Middle East Quarterly, Lorenzo Vidino [22] writes about "The Muslim
Brotherhood's Conquest of Europe."
According to him, "Since the early 1960s, Muslim Brotherhood members and
sympathisers have moved to Europe and slowly but steadily established a wide and
well-organised network of mosques, charities, and Islamic organisations."
One of the Muslim Brotherhood's first pioneers in Germany was Sa'id Ramadan, the
personal secretary of Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna. The oil-rich kingdom
of Saudi Arabia has granted an influx of money to the powerful Islamic Center of
Geneva, Switzerland, run by Sa'id's son Hani Ramadan, brother of Tariq Ramadan.
Hani Ramadan was made infamous by - among other things - a 2002 article in the
French daily Le Monde defending the stoning of adulterers to death. Tariq
Ramadan, a career "moderate Muslim," later called for a "moratorium" on stoning.
According to Vidino, "The ultimate irony is that Muslim Brotherhood founder
Hassan al-Banna dreamed of spreading Islamism throughout Egypt and the Muslim
world. He would have never dreamed that his vision might also become a reality
in Europe."
Former Muslim Dr Patrick Sookhdeo [23] warns that the Islamicisation going on in
European cities is not happening by chance. It "is the result of a careful and
deliberate strategy by certain Muslim leaders which was planned in 1980 when the
Islamic Council of Europe published a book called
Muslim Communities in Non-Muslim States."
The instructions given in the book told Muslims to get together and organise
themselves into viable Muslim communities. They should set up mosques, community
centres and Islamic schools. At all costs they must avoid being assimilated by
the majority, and to resist assimilation must group themselves geographically,
forming areas of high Muslim concentration.
Douglas Farah [24] writes about the largely successful efforts by Islamic groups
in the West to buy large amounts of real estate, territory that effectively
becomes "Muslim" land once it is in the hands of Islamist groups. Some groups
are signing agreements to guarantee that they will only sell the land to other
Muslims.
The Brotherhood, particularly, is active in investments in properties and
businesses across Europe, laying the groundwork for the future network that will
be able to react rapidly and with great flexibility in case of another attempted
crackdown on the group's financial structure. Most of the money comes from Saudi
Arabia and Kuwait.
According to Farah, the governments of Europe and the United States continue to
allow these groups to flourish and seek for the "moderate" elements that can be
embraced as a counter-balance to the "radical" elements.
"We do not have a plan. They do. History shows that those that plan, anticipate
and have a coherent strategy usually win. We are not winning."
In March 2006 [25], the two-day plenary session of the Euro-Mediterranean
Parliamentary Assembly, held in Brussels approved a resolution which "condemned
the offence" caused by the Danish cartoons of the prophet Muhammad as well "as
the violence which their publication provoked." These MEPs and national MPs from
the EU and Arab countries also urged governments to "ensure respect for
religious beliefs and to encourage the values of tolerance, freedom and
multiculturalism."
During the parliamentary assembly, Egyptian parliament speaker Ahmed Sorour
insisted that the cartoons published in Denmark and other recent events showed
the existence of a "cultural deficit." Jordanian MP Hashem al-Qaisi also
condemned the cartoons, claiming that it is not sufficient to deplore the
cartoons as these things might occur again in another country.
And European Parliament president Josep Borrell referred to the Mediterranean as
"a concentrate of all the problems facing humanity." He said that after one year
presiding over the assembly he "still did not fully understand the complexities
of the Mediterranean."
Following the cartoons affair, EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana [26] had
travelled to the Middle East and made joint statements with Islamic leaders that
"freedom of the press entails responsibility and discretion and should respect
the beliefs and tenets of all religions." Solana said that he had discussed
means to ensure that "religious symbols can be protected." He held talks with
Sheikh Mohammed Sayed Tantawi of Al Azhar University, the highest seat of
learning in Sunni Islam, and Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa.
Solana also met with the leader of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference
(OIC), Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu. Following their discussion, Solana "expressed our
sincere regret that religious feelings have been hurt", and vowed "to reach
out... to make sure that people's hearts and minds are not hurt again."
Only a few years earlier, Mr. Solana, then Secretary General of NATO, in a
speech [27] stated that "the root cause of conflicts in Europe and beyond can be
traced directly to the absence of democracy and openness. The absence of the
pressure valve of democratic discourse can lead these societies to explode into
violence." The irony that he himself is now trying to curtail the democratic
discourse in Europe through the promotion of Islamic censorship apparently did
not occur to him.
Meanwhile, the tentacles of the vast, inflated EU bureaucracy insinuate
themselves into regulations on every conceivable subject. Some of the examples
of the bureaucracy are ridiculous; some are funny. But there is a sinister side
to the European bureaucracy:
·
The promotion of an official, "EU federal ideology" advocating multiculturalism;
·
The denunciation as "xenophobes" of all those who want to preserve their
democracy at the nation state level; and
·
Calling those who would limit Third World immigration "racists."
A report from the EU's racism watchdog said that more must be done to combat
racism and "Islamophobia." One method of accomplishing this is the promotion of
a lexicon 28[] which shuns purportedly offensive and culturally insensitive
terms. This lexicon would set down guidelines for EU officials and politicians
prohibiting what they may say. "Certainly 'Islamic terrorism' is something we
will not use ... we talk about 'terrorists who abusively invoke Islam'," an EU
official said.
Early in 2006, the EU's human rights commissioner Alvaro Gil-Robles's criticised
a plan to revamp Christianity as a school subject [29] in elementary schools in
Denmark. Gil-Robles said doing so went against European values. "Religion as a
school subject should be a general course that attempts to
give students insight into the three
monotheistic religions [my emphasis]," he said. The "three monotheistic
religions" means Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
As I see it, there are several possible ways of dealing with the issue of
education about religion.
1.
Teach the traditional religions within a particular country, which in Europe
means Christianity and Judaism.
2. Teach all the major world
religions.
3. Leave religion out of the
curriculum.
What the European Union does, however, is to
treat Islam as a traditional, European
religion on par with Christianity and Judaism. This is a crucial component of
Eurabian thinking and practice. Notice how EU authorities in this case
directly interfered to force a once-independent nation state to include more
teachings of Islam in its school curriculum in order to instill their children
with a proper dose of Eurabian indoctrination. Notice also that they didn't ask
for more teaching of Buddhism or Hinduism. Only Islam is being pushed.
In another case, the European Commission rebuffed a call by the Polish president
for an EU-wide debate on reinstating the death penalty [30]. "The death penalty
is not compatible with European values," a Commission spokesman said. Again, the
issue here is not your opinion regarding the death penalty. The real issue is
that the metasticising EU has already defined for you what constitutes "European
values." Thus, major issues are simply beyond public debate. This
innocent-sounding phrase "European values" cloaks a federal, Eurabian ideology
enforced across the entire European Union without regard to the popular will.
Perhaps the most shameful and embarrassing aspect of the history of Eurabia is
how the supposedly critical and independent European media has allowed itself to
be corrupted or deceived by the Eurabians. Most of the documents about the
Euro-Arab Dialogue place particular emphasis on working with the media, and the
Eurabians have played the European media like a Stradivarius. Aided by a
pre-existing anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism, European media have been
willing to demonise the United States and Israel while remaining largely silent
on the topic Eurabia.
In May 2006, a big conference [31] was held in Vienna involving media figures
(journalists) from all over Europe, who met with partners from the Arab world as
a part of the Euro-Arab Dialogue.
European officials responded publicly with "regret" to Israel's ambassador to
Austria Dan Ashbel's decision to boycott the conference on racism in the media
because of concern in Jerusalem that anti-Semitism was getting short shrift at
the meeting. Speaking for the conference - entitled "Racism, Xenophobia and the
Media: Towards Respect and Understanding of all Religions and Cultures" - an
official claimed that anti-Semitism was not taken off the agenda. This official
countered that the meeting was "primarily a dialogue between the media
representatives of all the Euro-Med partners on the problems that beset their
profession. These include xenophobia, racism, anti-Semitism and
Islamophobia [my
emphasis]."
Writer Bruce Bawer [32] thinks that many Europeans recognise that
multiculturalism is leading their societies to disaster. But they've heard all
their lives from officially approved authorities that any concern about
multiculturalism and its consequences is tantamount to racism:
"There's a widespread resignation [33] to the fact that multiculturalists
control the media, academy, state agencies, and so on. They know very well that
if you want to get ahead in European society, you don't take on multicultural
orthodoxy. The political establishment seems solidly planted, unmovable,
unchangeable. There may be a widespread rage, in short, but it's largely an
impotent rage. Europeans today have been bred to be passive, to leave things to
their leaders, whose wisdom they've been taught all their lives to take for
granted. To shake off a lifetime of this kind of indoctrination is not easy."
According to Bat Ye'or, fear of awakening opposition to EU policy toward the
Arab Mediterranean countries led to the repression of all discussion of the
economic problems and difficulties of integration caused by massive immigration.
Any criticism of Muslim immigration is basically brushed off as being "just like
the Jews were talked about in Nazi Germany," a ridiculous but effective
statement.
Bat Ye'or agrees with Bawer's analysis "concerning the totalitarian web cohesion
of 'teachers, professors, the media, politicians, government agency workers,
talking heads on TV, the representatives of state-funded "independent"
organisations like SOS Racism' to indoctrinate the politically correct. This
perfectly expresses the political directives given by the European Commission to
coordinate and control in all EU member-states the political, intellectual,
religious, media, teaching and publishing apparatus since the 1970s so as to
harmonise with its Mediterranean strategy based on multiculturalism."
Professional harassment, boycott and defamation punish those who dare to openly
challenge the Politically Correct discourse. According to Bat Ye'or, this has
led to the development of a type of "resistance press" as if Europe were under
the "occupation" of its own elected governments. This free press on the Internet
and in blogs has brought some changes, including the rejection of the European
Constitution in 2005. Despite overwhelming support for the Constitution by the
governments in France and the Netherlands and a massive media campaign by
political leaders in both countries, voters rejected it. Blogs played a
significant part [34] in achieving this.
Only a few months later, EU authorities lined up together with authoritarian
regimes [35] such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Cuba and the Chinese Communist Party in
favor of "more international control with" (read: censorship of) the Internet.
According to Richard North of the EU Referendum blog [36], "The most dangerous
form of propaganda is that which does not appear to be propaganda. And it is
that form at which the BBC [the British Broadcasting Corporation] excels.
Perhaps the biggest sin of all is that of omission. By simply not informing us
of key issues, they go by default, unchallenged until it is too late to do
anything about them."
Vladimir Bukovsky is a former Soviet dissident, author and human rights activist
who spent a total of twelve years in Soviet prisons. Now living in England, he
warns against some of the same anti-democratic impulses in the West, especially
in the EU, which he views as an heir to the Soviet Union. In 2002, he joined in
on protests against the BBC's compulsory TV licence [37]. "The British people
are being forced to pay money to a corporation which suppresses free speech -
publicising views they don't necessarily agree with." He has blasted the BBC for
their "bias and propaganda," especially in stories related to the EU or the
Middle East.
Conservative MP, Michael Gove and political commentator Mark Dooley also
complain about lopsided coverage [38]: "Take, for example, the BBC's coverage of
the late Yasser Arafat. In one profile broadcast in 2002, he was lauded as an
"icon" and a "hero," but no mention was made of his terror squads, corruption,
or his brutal suppression of dissident Palestinians. Similarly, when Israel
assassinated the spiritual leader of Hamas, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, in 2004, one
BBC reporter described him as "polite, charming and witty, a deeply religious
man." This despite the fact that under Yassin's guidance, Hamas murdered
hundreds."
Polish writer Nina Witoszek [39], now living in Norway, warns that people who
have lived under Communist regimes are struck by a strange feeling of dejá vu in
Western Europe:
"Before formulating a sentence, you put on a censorship autopilot which asks:
Who am I insulting now? Am I too pro-Israeli, or maybe anti-Feminist, or - God
forbid - anti-Islamic? Am I "progressive" enough? Soon we shall all write in a
decaffeinated language: We shall obediently repeat all the benign mantras such
as "dialogue," "pluralism," "reconciliation" and "equality." Norway has never
been a totalitarian country, but many people now feel the taste of oppression
and of being muzzled. I know many wise Norwegians - and even more wise
foreigners - who no longer have the energy to waste time on contributing to a
castrated, paranoid democracy. We prefer safety above freedom. This is the first
step towards a voluntary bondage."
She quotes follow writer from Poland Czeslaw Milosz, who won the Nobel Prize in
Literature in 1980 for books such as The
Captive Mind, where he explained the seductiveness of totalitarian ideology.
One essay by Milosz is titled "Ketman." [40] "Ketman" or "kitman" is an Islamic
term brought to Milosz's attention by Arthur Gobineau's book Religions and
Philosophies of Central Asia. He had noticed that the dissidents in Persia, long
accustomed to tyranny, had evolved a style of their own. The need for survival
often involved more than just keeping your mouth shut, but of actively lying in
every way necessary. This strategy of dissimulation and deceit, which is
especially pronounced by Shia Muslims but also used by Sunnis, is primarily used
to deceive non-Muslims, but can also be used against other Muslims under duress.
According to Milosz, a very similar strategy was used in Communist countries.
Similar to Islam, those practicing dissimulation felt a sense of superiority
towards those who were stupid enough to state their real opinions openly. In
Communist societies, dissimulation was just as much a technique of adaptation to
an authoritarian regime as a conscious, theatrical form of art that became
increasingly refined.
It is frightening to hear people who have grown up in former Communist countries
say that they see this same totalitarian impulse at work in Western Europe now.
According to them, we in the West are at least as brainwashed by
multiculturalism and Political Correctness [41] as they ever were with
communism. It is frightening because I believe they are right. Have we witnessed
the fall of the Iron Curtain in Eastern Europe only to see an Iron Veil descend
on Western Europe? An Iron Veil of EU bureaucracy and Eurabian treachery, of
Political Correctness, Multicultural media censorship and the ever-present
threat of Muslim violence and terrorism that is gradually extinguishing free
speech. The momentum of bureaucratic treachery is accelerating.
Native Europeans and indeed some non-Muslim immigrants are quietly leaving in
growing numbers, gradually turning the continent into a net exporter of refugees
rather than an importer of them. When large parts of Europe are being overrun by
barbarians - actively aided and abetted by our own trusted leaders - and when
people are banned from opposing this onslaught, is Western Europe still a
meaningful part of the Free World? Have the countries of Eastern Europe gone
from one "Evil Empire" to another? Are they - and we - back in the EUSSR?
Vaclav Klaus, the conservative President of the Czech Republic, has complained
that: "Every time I try to remove some piece of Soviet-era regulation, I am told
that whatever it is I am trying to scrap is a requirement of the European
Commission." In an interview with Paul Belien of the Brussels Journal [42] in
February 2006, Vladimir Bukovksy warned that the European Union is on its way to
becoming another Soviet Union. Mr Bukovsky called the EU a "monster" that must
be destroyed, the sooner the better, before it develops into a fully-fledged
totalitarian state.
"The ultimate purpose of the Soviet Union was to create a new historic entity,
the Soviet people, all around the globe. The same is true in the EU today. They
are trying to create a new people. They call this people "Europeans", whatever
that means. According to Communist doctrine as well as to many forms of
Socialist thinking, the state, the national state, is supposed to wither away.
In Russia, however, the opposite happened. Instead of withering away the Soviet
state became a very powerful state, but the nationalities were obliterated. But
when the time of the Soviet collapse came these suppressed feelings of national
identity came bouncing back and they nearly destroyed the country. It was so
frightening."
Timothy Garton Ash is considered a leading expert on Europe's future. Bruce
Bawer views Garton Ash as typical of Europe's political élite. Ash mistrusts
national patriotism but adores the EU. He writes about the need for a factitious
European patriotism ("flags, symbols, a European anthem we can sing") to
encourage "emotional identification with European institutions." And just why
does Europe need the EU? Garton Ash's answer: "To prevent our falling back into
the bad old ways of war and European barbarism." Among his suggestions is that
Europe encourage "the formation of an Arab Union." He makes no mention of Arab
democracy. Imagining "Europe in 2025 at its possible best," he pictures it as a
"partnership" with Arab countries and Russia that would extend "from Marrakesh,
via Cairo, Jerusalem, Baghdad, and Tbilisi, all the way to Vladivostok."
The European Commission proposed the controversial idea of a singing event in
all member states to celebrate the European Union's 50th "birthday," the 50th
anniversary of the 1957 Treaty of Rome. Commissioner Margot Wallstrom was
lobbying for big-style birthday celebrations to "highlight the benefits that
European integration has brought to its citizens." Diplomats said the idea had
sparked feelings of disgust among new, formerly Communist member states such as
Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic, which were reminded of "Stalinist times"
when people were forced by the state to sing. Brussels decided on a more modest
celebration, also intended to spend around €300,000 on the appointment of 50
citizen "ambassadors," dubbed the "Faces of Europe," who are supposed to "tell
their story" throughout the year on what the EU means to them in their daily
life, as well as a series of activities for school children and youngsters.
Germany will go ahead with its own idea to let thousands of its bakeries bake 54
sorts of cakes with recipes from all 27 member states.
Commissioner Wallstrom [43] in 2005 argued that politicians who resisted pooling
national sovereignty risked a return to Nazi horrors of the 1930s and 1940s. Her
fellow commissioners also issued a joint declaration, stating that EU citizens
should pay tribute to the dead of the Second World War by voting Yes to the EU
Constitution. The commissioners gave the EU sole credit for ending the Cold War,
making no mention of the role of NATO or the United States.
Is the EU an instrument to end wars? In October 2006, Michel Thoomis, the
secretary general of the French Action Police trade union, warned of a civil war
[44] in France created by Muslim immigrants:
"We are in a state of civil war, orchestrated by radical Islamists. This is not
a question of urban violence any more, it is an intifada, with stones and
Molotov cocktails. You no longer see two or three youths confronting police, you
see whole tower blocks emptying into the streets to set their 'comrades' free
when they are arrested."
These Muslim immigrants were allowed in by the very same European elites who now
want European citizens to celebrate their work through cakes and songs. While
civil society is disintegrating in Western Europe due to Islamic pressures, EU
authorities are working to increase Muslim immigration, while congratulating
themselves for bringing peace to the continent. What peace? Where?
The Peace of Westphalia [45] in 1648 ended the Thirty Years' War, the last major
religious war in Europe, and helped lay the foundations for modern nation
states. Before nation states, we thus had a pattern of borderless religious wars
and civil wars. This is what we have returned to, full circle, only this time a
borderless Jihad is triggering civil wars in Europe. While the EU may help
prevent wars between nation states with old grudges, such as Germany and France,
it may also actively cause other kinds of wars. It accomplishes this by
increasing Multicultural tensions and a dangerous sense of estrangement between
citizens and those who are supposed to be their leaders.
Wars have existed for thousands of years before the advent of the modern nation
state. It is far more likely that weakening nation states will end our
democratic system, a system which is closely tied to the existence of sovereign
nation states, than that it will end wars.
When asked whether the member countries of the EU joined the union voluntarily,
and whether the resulting integration reflects the democratic will of Europeans,
Vladimir Bukovksy replied, "No, they did not. Look at Denmark which voted
against the Maastricht treaty twice. Look at Ireland [which voted against the
Nice treaty]. Look at many other countries, they are under enormous pressure. It
is almost blackmail. It is a trick for idiots. The people have to vote in
referendums until the people vote the way that is wanted. Then they have to stop
voting. Why stop? Let us continue voting. The European Union is what Americans
would call a shotgun marriage."
In 1992, Bukovksy had unprecedented access to Politburo and other Soviet secret
documents, as described in his book,
Judgement in Moscow. In January 1989, during a meeting between Soviet leader
Gorbachev, former Japanese Prime Minister Nakasone, former French President
Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, American banker Rockefeller and former US Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger, Giscard d'Estaing supposedly stated:
"Europe is going to be a federal state and you have to prepare yourself for
that. You have to work out with us, and the European leaders, how you would
react to that."
This was in the 1980s, when most of the media still dismissed as scaremongering
any talk of a political union that would subdue the nation states. Fifteen years
later, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing became the chief drafter of the truly awful EU
Constitution, an impenetrable brick of a book, hundreds of pages long, and
lacking any of the checks and balances so crucial to the American Constitution.
Giscard has argued that the rejection of the Constitution in the French and
Dutch referenda in 2005 "was a mistake which will have to be corrected" and
insisted that "In the end, the text will be adopted."
Giscard has also said that "it was a mistake to use the referendum process"
because "it is not possible for anyone to understand [46] the full text." Does
it instill confidence among the citizens of Europe that we are supposed to be
under the authority of a "Constitution" that is too complex for most
non-bureaucrats to understand? According to Spain's justice minister [47] Juan
Fernando Lopez Aguilar "you don't need to read the European constitution to know
that it is good."
Jean-Luc Dehaene, former Belgian Prime Minister, said that "We know that nine
out of ten people will not have read the Constitution and will vote on the basis
of what politicians and journalists say. More than that, if the answer is No,
the vote will probably have to be done again, because it absolutely has to be
Yes."
Journalist Nidra Poller [48], however, is more skeptical. Commenting on the
debate prior to the EU Constitution referendum in France, she noted a submissive
attitude among EU leaders towards Muslim demands: "The Euro-Mediterranean
'Dialogue' is a masterpiece of abject surrender." The European Union functions
as an intermediate stage of an ominous project that calls for a meltdown of
traditional European culture, to be replaced by a new, Eurabian cocktail. And
she asks: "When subversive appeasement hides behind the veil of 'Dialogue,' what
unspeakable ambitions might be dissembled by the noble word 'Constitution'?"
The European Union gave the Palestinians $342.8 million in aid in 2005 [49] -
or, more accurately, $612.15 million when assistance from the 25 EU governments
is included. Even the United States has repeatedly donated millions of American
tax dollars to the Palestinian Authority, though not at EU levels. In July 2005,
as a response to the Islamic terrorist attacks on London a few days earlier,
leaders of the G8, the group of influential industrialised nations, offered the
PA some $9 billion [50], dubbed an "alternative to the hatred."
The West's largesse continued despite a demographic study in 2005 which revealed
that the number showing the Palestinian population in the West Bank and Gaza had
been inflated [51] by 50% by the government.
Almost all of the new infrastructure [52] in the Palestinian territories from
the beginning of the Oslo Peace Process in the 1990s - schools, hospitals,
airports - were arranged and paid for by Brussels. As Jihad was once again
unleashed with the second Intifada in 2000, Israel stopped its transfer of
payments to the Palestinians. So the EU stepped in with another 10 million Euros
a month in direct budgetary assistance to the Palestinian Authority. EU
Commissioner for External Affairs Chris Patten [53] stated in 2002 that "there
is no case for stating that EU money has financed terrorism, has financed the
purchase of weapons, or any similar activities."
However, a report by the Foundation for the Defence of Democracies [54] later
found that: "There is indisputable evidence that PA money has been used to fund
terrorist activities." This was confirmed by Fuad Shubaki, who used to serve as
the finance chief in the Palestinian security forces. According to him, former
Palestinian Authority chairman Yasser Arafat [55] ordered millions of dollars,
taken from international aid funds, tax money transferred by Israel and from
Arab countries, to be used to purchase weapons and ammunition, including the 50
tons of armaments on board the ship Karine A. The transaction was coordinated
between the PA, Hizballah in Lebanon and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
In May 2006, Mahmoud Abbas - President of the Palestinian Authority after
Arafat's death in November 2004 and a leading politician in Fatah - talked to
the European Parliament about the peace process. At the same time, the al-Aksa
Martyrs Brigades, the armed wing of Fatah, threatened to strike [56] at US and
European economic and civilian interests in response to international sanctions
on the PA. Financial support evokes no gratitude in the Palestinians. However,
they will threaten you with violence if aid is not forthcoming. This is plainly
extortion.
This shakedown corresponds to the Muslims' view of the Jizya, the tributary tax
paid by non-Muslims in exchange for not being killed. Documents from the
Euro-Arab Dialogue frequently mention about "financial assistance" from the EU
to Arab countries. Bat Ye'or points out that some of this Jizya tax is extracted
from Europeans without their awareness.
In November 2005, the EU's official financial watchdog [57] refused to approve
the EU's accounts for the 11th year in a row because they were so full of fraud
and errors. The European Court of Auditors refused to give a statement of
assurance on the EU's $160.3 billion budget for 2004. "The vast majority of the
payment budget was again materially affected by errors of legality and
regularity," it said. It specifically refused to approve the budgets for the
EU's foreign policy and aid programs, many of which are geared towards Arab
countries. Half the project budgets approved by the European Commission were
inadequately monitored.
The European Commission is considered the EU's "government," and thus the
government of nearly half a billion people. But it can release accounts with
massive flaws for over a decade straight because it is largely unaccountable to
anybody and was intended to be that way.
Muslims use deception to advance Jihad until it is almost too late for the
infidels to stop them. The EU federalists and Eurabians have taken a page out of
the Islamic playbook, and have been approaching their goals by stealth for
decades, buried beneath a mass of detail and technocratic newspeak all but
incomprehensible to non-bureaucrats.
In a frank moment, Jean-Claude Juncker [58], Luxembourg's prime minister, once
described the EU's "system" in this way:
"We decide on something, leave it lying around and wait and see what happens,"
he explained. "If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don't understand
what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back."
In The Economist, columnist Charlemagne writes:
"What Mr Juncker and those who think like him are trying to do is, in essence,
to drown opposition to European
federation in a mass of technical detail, to bore people into submission. As a
strategy, it has gone a long way. [My
emphasis] The greatest single transfer of sovereignty from Europe's nations
to the European Union took place, in 1985, as part of the project to create a
single European market. Even [British Conservative PM] Margaret Thatcher, not
usually slow to spot a trick, later claimed that she had not fully appreciated
the ramifications of what she was then signing up to."
Writer Christopher Booker has called this the EU's "culture of deceit" [59]:
"What in fact has been taking place has been a transfer of power (...) to
Brussels on a scale amounting to the greatest constitutional revolution in our
history. But much of this has remained buried from view because our politicians
like to preserve the illusion that they are still in charge. The result is that
remarkably few people now have any proper understanding of how the political
system which rules our lives actually works."
I have used the term "neo-Feudalism" to describe the EU. There are definitely
certain elite groups in Europe who think that everything that's wrong with
Europe is because of "populism" - what others call democracy. The motive force
behind the EU aims to cede national sovereignty to a new ruling class of
bureaucrats, a new aristocracy. This is a throwback to the pre-democratic age.
Karl Zinsmeister notes [60] that:
"The EU apparatus is exceedingly closed and secretive. Relatively few of the
confederation's important decisions are currently made by democratically
accountable officials. On front after front, bureaucratic mandarins are deciding
how everyday Europeans will live. ... Many Europeans, in a way Americans find
impossible to understand, are willing to let their elites lead them by the nose.
There is a kind of peasant mentality under which their "betters" are allowed to
make the important national judgments for them."
MP Gisela Stuart was a member of the Praesidium which drafted the proposed EU
Constitution. She sums up her experiences thus:
"The Convention brought together a self-selected group of the European political
elite, many of whom have their eyes on a career at a European level, which is
dependent on more and more integration, and who see national parliaments and
governments as an obstacle ... Not once in the sixteen months I spent on the
Convention did representatives question whether deeper integration is what the
people of Europe want, whether it serves their best interests or whether it
provides the best basis for a sustainable structure for an expanding Union."
In 2005, an unprecedented joint declaration by the leaders of all the British
political groups in Brussels called for an end the "medieval" practice of
European legislation being decided behind closed doors. Critics claim that the
Council of Ministers, the EU's supreme law-making body, which decides two thirds
of all Britain's laws, "is the only legislature outside the Communist
dictatorships of North Korea and Cuba to pass laws in secret."
According to British Conservative politician Daniel Hannan, this is how the EU
was designed. "Its founding fathers understood from the first that their
audacious plan to merge the ancient nations of Europe into a single polity would
never succeed if each successive transfer of power had to be referred back to
the voters for approval. So they cunningly devised a structure where supreme
power was in the hands of appointed functionaries, immune to public opinion.
Indeed, the EU's structure is not so much undemocratic as anti-democratic."
The European Union has been compared to the Roman Empire, but such comparisons
are not very apt. Rome was the military superpower of its time, while the EU is
but a military midget. However, there is one intriguing commonality: Julius
Caesar was murdered because he wanted to crown himself king. This was not a
popular move among the powerful elite in the Senate, who reminded Caesar that
Rome had become a Republic precisely because they had rebelled against the
"tyrant" kings of old.
Caesar's successor Octavian, better known today as Caesar Augustus, is
considered both the first and one of the most important Roman Emperors. He
downplayed his own position by preferring the title princeps, usually translated
as "first citizen". He also preserved the outward form of the Roman Republic,
paid lip service to the old elite, and veiled the changes to make them seem less
upsetting to the public. He may have been a monarch, but he never called himself
one.
Some might see a parallel in the present-day EU. When up to three-quarters of
our national laws originate in Brussels, what is then the point of holding
national elections? Just as in Octavian's Rome, the real power has been moved
elsewhere, but the old order is draped over reality as a democratic fig leaf in
order not to upset the common people. The EU operates largely by stealth; its
edicts are implemented through traditional parliaments, which are increasingly
reduced to decorative appendages.
The funny aspect of this is that those who are against the EU are labelled
xenophobes, nationalists or simply anti-democratic forces. The EU is an
organisation where unelected bureaucrats dismantle democracy, yet denounce their
critics as anti-democratic forces.
In order to create this new entity, the old nation states must be deliberately
crushed. Massive numbers of non-European immigrants are introduced, and the
resulting situation is termed a "Multicultural society". This demolition is
followed by the demand that our entire society be changed accordingly.
Since Europeans feel less "European" than they experience themselves as French,
Italian, Dutch, etc., national allegiances have to be broken down. At the same
time, an external rival must be created. The closest model is Bismarck's
unification of Germany. The numerous German states rallied to Prussia's side
against the French in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, thus paving the way for a
new, powerful German federation.
The EU federalists strive to build a united European state through a shared
animosity against the USA, while constructing a Eurabian entity of Europe and
the Arab world via their common hostility towards Israel. One tactic is the
deliberate use of the media to whip up anger against these countries and to
demonise them.
However, Bismarck's German states were united by a common language. Even if a
"new us" could be constructed from dozens of nations - which is highly
questionable - melding various ethnic groups into a cohesive nation takes
centuries. Without a shared identity, without a European demos, how can the EU
be anything but authoritarian? Perhaps the EU elites believe that a large mass
of people lacking a distinct cultural identity would be easier to control?
The problem is that the nation state itself has been declared evil or obsolete,
not collectivism, anti-individualism or totalitarianism. But there is a crucial
distinction between nationalism and patriotism, which George Orwell saw clearly:
"Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism.
By 'patriotism' I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of
life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force on
other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and
culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for
power."
Totalitarian regimes can be national, such as Nazi Germany, but they can also be
supranational, such as the Soviet Union, which sought to suppress all
pre-existing national loyalties.
How was a project as big as the creation of Eurabia pulled off? I have thought a
lot about this question, and come to the conclusion that it succeeded precisely
because of its size. St. Augustine tells the story of a pirate captured by
Alexander the Great. "How dare you molest the sea?" asked Alexander. "How dare
you molest the whole world?" the pirate replied. "Because I do it with a little
ship only, I am called a thief; you, doing it with a great navy, are called an
emperor."
It's a matter of scale. If a small group of people sideline the democratic
process in one country and start imposing their own laws on the public, it's
called a coup d'état. If they do so on an entire continent, it's called the
European Union.
Adolf Hitler's autobiography Mein Kampf described a propaganda technique known
as "the Big Lie". The EU has adopted this strategy, which consists of telling a
lie so "colossal" that it would be impossible to believe anyone "could have the
impudence to distort the truth so infamously." This has been combined with the
technique, perfected by Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels in Nazi Germany, of
repeating a point until it is taken to be the truth.
Here are some Big Lies:
- Diversity is always good;
- Multiculturalism is inevitable, as is continued EU integration;
- Those opposing it are ignorant racists standing against the tide of history;
- Muslim immigration is "good for the economy" and is necessary for funding the
welfare state in the future, despite the fact that it drains away enormous
resources.
The creation of Eurabia ranks as one of the greatest betrayals in the history of
Western civilisation. Does that mean that all EU federalists or those who
participate in the various instruments of the Euro-Arab Dialogue are evil? No,
reality isn't that simple. As Hugh Fitzgerald points out, "A whole class of
people has gotten rich from Arab money and bribes; lawyers, public relations
men, and diplomats, journalists, university teachers and assorted officials."
However, while ignorance, corruption and the self-serving search for personal
power explains some of the behaviour of the Eurabian elites, it cannot explain
the behaviour of ALL those thousands of people who have been involved in these
networks. Some of them must have convinced themselves that what they were doing
was for a just cause, if for no other reason than because human vanity demands
that we justify our actions by covering them with a veneer of goodness.
In the science fiction movie Serenity [61], the two great superpowers, the
United States and China, have merged into the Alliance, which has moved humanity
to a new star system. On the little-known planet Miranda, a gas called Pax was
added to the air processors. It was intended to calm the population, weed out
aggression. It worked. The people stopped fighting. They also stopped doing
everything else, including breeding and physical self-preservation. A small
minority of the population had the opposite reaction to this pacification. Their
aggression increased beyond madness, and they killed most of the others. Tens of
millions of people quietly let themselves be wiped out.
Movie director Joss Whedon is careful to point out that the Alliance isn't some
evil empire, but rather a force that is largely benevolent. They meant it for
the best, to create a better world, a world without sin. However, according to
Whedon, "Whenever you create Utopia, you find something ugly working underneath
it."
Former Europeans who fought against Jihad fought for a number of things: Their
religion, their culture and their nation. EU federalists and Eurabians are
deliberately suppressing all of these instincts in their quest to create a New
Man and weed out aggression. However, because they have wrongly identified the
nation state as the root cause of all evil, they are suppressing not just
aggressive nationalism, but defensive patriotism. And since some of the Muslims
have actually become even more aggressive in response to what they perceive as
our nihilism, the Eurabians have suicidally disarmed their own people, literally
and metaphorically, and put them up for slaughter.
Many Communists, at least in the beginning, really believed in their ideology.
The result was mass slaughter; tens of millions of people were killed in the
quest for a world without oppression or exploitation. The road to Hell is paved
with good intentions. Regardless of how good your intentions may be, you cannot
use millions of people as guinea pigs in massive social experiments without also
causing massive harm.
Perhaps one of the reasons why this has been allowed to happen in Western Europe
and the European Union is because we never fully understood or attempted to
confront the reasons for the abysmal failure of Communism in Eastern Europe and
the Soviet Union following the Cold War. The concept of massive social
experiments to create a New Man was allowed to survive. It mutated and then
migrated West. Jean Monnet, who set in motion the process of European
integration, reflected on how the European civil service constituted a
'laboratory' in which a new kind of 'European Man' would be born. But the New
European Man, just like the New Soviet Man before him, is all but certain to
fail.
Can the European Union be reformed? I doubt it. The EU is bound together by a
self-serving class of bureaucrats who want to expand their budgets and their
power, despite the harm they do. These functionaries will use traditional
methods of deception to counteract any calls for reforms so they can retain
control.
It is instructive to watch the reactions of the EU elites to the popular
rejections in France and Holland of the EU Constitution in 2005. They put
together a "wise" group [62] of European politicians, led by Giuliano Amato,
Italian Interior Minister in "super-Eurabian" Romano Prodi's government, to come
up with possible solutions to this impasse. Suggestions discussed included
dropping the name "constitution" in favor of "treaty."
The same Amato, who is a former Italian Prime Minister and also the
Vice-President of the EU Convention which drafted the Constitution, has earlier
stated [63] that:
"In Europe one needs to act 'as if' - as if what was wanted was little, in order
to obtain much, as if states were to remain sovereign to convince them to
concede sovereignty ... The Commission in Brussels, for example, should act as
if it were a technical instrument, in order to be able to be treated as a
government. And so on by disguise and subterfuge [my emphasis]."
That a man who has openly bragged about how EU federalist goals are advanced by
"disguise and subterfuge" leads the attempts to "renew" the EU Constitution
tells ordinary Europeans everything we need to know about the EU. If the EU
elites have deliberately deceived us for decades to achieve their goals, why
should we suddenly trust them now? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice,
shame on me. These people have fooled us enough.
"I think that the European Union, like the Soviet Union, cannot be
democratised," says Vladimir Bukovksy. "There will be a collapse of the European
Union pretty much like the Soviet Union collapsed. But do not forget that when
these things collapse they leave such devastation that it takes a generation to
recover.(...) Look to the huge number of immigrants from Third World countries
now living in Europe. This was promoted by the European Union. What will happen
with them if there is an economic collapse? We will probably have, like in the
Soviet Union at the end, so much ethnic strife that the mind boggles."
In their book about the EU, Richard North and Christopher Booker conclude: "The
project Monnet had set on its way was a vast, ramshackle, self-deluding monster:
partly suffocating in its own bureaucracy; partly a corrupt racket (...) The one
thing above all the project could never be, because by definition it had never
been intended to be, was in the remotest sense democratic." They believe the EU
is doomed and will "leave a terrible devastation behind it, a wasteland from
which it would take many years for the peoples of Europe to emerge."
I understand concerns that the destruction of the EU could cause "instability"
in Europe. It will. But we will probably end up with "instability" anyway, given
the number of Muslims the EUrabians have let in. The choice is between a period
of painful years in which most of Europe prevails, and death, where Europe
simply ceases to exist as a Western cultural entity.
Some would hope that we could keep the "positive" aspects of the EU and not
"throw out the baby with the bath water." I beg to differ.
The EU is all bath water, no baby. There never was a baby, just a truckload of
overpaid babysitters.
Multiculturalism separates people into "tribes" below the nation state level.
This is precisely the situation we had in Europe in the Middle Ages. Likewise,
the idea that we should "respect" other cultures by not criticising them means
turning the clock back several centuries to the pre-Enlightenment era.
Multiculturalism is merely a medieval ideology, and will generate medieval
results.
Although the EU will fail in creating a pan-European identity, it has already
partly succeeded in weakening the traditional nation states. Across Western
Europe, Muslim immigrants tend to settle in major cities [64], with the native
population retreating into the countryside. This destruction of the coherence of
society is triggering a return to tribalism, as people no longer trust the
nation state to protect them.
The process has been explained by Ernest Baert [65]: "Over many centuries,
Western Europe has replaced the tribe or clan by the nation state." The result
was that "European citizens tend to have equal trust in all other citizens of
the same nation state outside their immediate family and circle of friends."
This "high-trust society" was a necessary precondition not only for the success
of a capitalist economy in Europe, but also for the rise of democracy.
A different worldview prevails in the Muslim world or in Africa. There,
individuals have no choice but to fall back on their clan for protection. So
what effect will the introduction of massive numbers of individuals from
"low-trust societies" have on our own culture? Baert is pessimistic:
"There is little doubt that we live in the dying days of the multicultural
fantasy. It will end in misery and may lead to the loss of Europe as a part of
Western civilisation. Our children and grandchildren will look back to our days
and wonder why so many so easily accepted what patently contradicted history and
common sense."
While ordinary Europeans live in fear of Muslim violence in their own cities and
trust in their own leaders is plummeting, EU elites meet in cocktail parties and
congratulate each other for bringing peace to Europe.
The European Union promised a Brave New World where wars and ethnic rivalries
were a thing of the past. Will it deliver the Middle Ages? Maybe that's what
Utopias tend to do.

By Fjordman
What has happened since 2006 is that European leaders are increasingly open
about the idea of enlarging the EU to include the Arab world, although they do
of course not present this as surrendering the continent to Islam. This hasn't
been a total secret previously – in 2002 Louis Michel, the then Belgian minister
of foreign affairs and today a member of the European Commission, told the
Belgian parliament[2] that the EU will eventually encompass North Africa and the
Middle East as well as Europe – but why go public with this now? My theory is
that EU leaders consider their people to be defeated and irrelevant. After the
implementation of the Lisbon Treaty/European Constitution[3], the people no
longer have a say and can safely be ignored. They have held us in contempt for
years and no longer care to hide this. We are sheep and constitute no threat
while they must continue appeasing the Muslims.
Open plans for a "Mediterranean Union[4]" or "Union for the Mediterranean,"
which will include all EU member states, Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia,
Libya, Egypt, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey, was
launched in mid-2008, under some concern among Arabs that such a Union might
normalise their relationship with Israel[5]. This came with plans for the
creation of a "north-south co-presidency" and a permanent secretariat as well as
the definition of a ''short-list'' of priority projects for the region. The
European Commission proposes the creation of a co-presidency between the EU and
a Mediterranean (read: Muslim) country, chosen with consensus for a two-year
term. Brussels is drawing the institutional profile of what will be called
"Barcelona Process – A Union for the Mediterranean." Notice how they tie this
explicitly to the Eurabian Barcelona Process described by Bat Ye'or. Despite
this, even after the Mediterranean Union was launched, I heard claims that any
talk about Eurabia was a "dangerous Islamophobic conspiracy theory."
In a letter[6] appearing in the respected Italian newspaper
Corriere della Sera, former Italian
President Francesco Cossiga in 2008 revealed that the government of Italy in the
1970s agreed to allow Arab terrorist groups freedom of movement in the country
in exchange for immunity from attacks. The government of the late Prime Minister
Aldo Moro reached a "secret non-belligerence pact between the Italian state and
Palestinian resistance organisations, including terrorist groups." According to
the former president, it was Moro himself who designed the terms of the
agreement with the foreign Arab terrorists. "The terms of the agreement were
that the Palestinian organisations could even maintain armed bases of operation
in the country, and they had freedom of entry and exit without being subject to
normal police controls, because they were 'handled' by the secret services." As
Interior Minister, Cossiga said that he learned PLO members in Italy had
diplomatic immunity as representatives of the Arab League. "The Palestinian
organisations could even maintain armed bases of operation in the country."
This was the formal birth of Eurabia, when Western European governments, giving
in to pressure from Arab terrorists and oil-producing states, abandoned their
traditional pro-Israeli position and gradually aligned themselves with the
Arab-Islamic world. There is absolutely no reason to assume[7] that the Italians
were the only ones to make such "deals." In addition to cultural and political
cooperation, European governments have agreed to pay Arabs, Palestinians in
particular, large sums in "protection money" to reduce the terrorist threat.
This can only be seen as jizya, and the practice has later spread to the entire
European Union, which pays the Palestinians tens of millions if not hundreds of
millions of Euros annually.
The MEDA programme[8], the principal financial instrument for the implementation
of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, between 2000-2006 spent €5,350 million on
its various programs, according to the EU's official website. During the period
1995-1999, some 86% of the resources allocated to MEDA were channelled to
Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey and the
Palestinian Authority.
From 2007, MEDA was replaced by the European Neighbourhood and Partnership
Instrument[9], which over the period 2007 to 2013 is projected to spend €11
billion on, among other things, promoting cooperation between European and Arab
countries in the sectors of energy and transport; in higher education and
mobility of teachers, researchers and students; Multicultural dialogue through
people-to-people contacts, including links with communities of immigrants living
in EU countries as well as cooperation between civil societies, cultural
institutions and exchanges of young people. The European Commission, the EU's
powerful government with extensive legislative powers, shall coordinate
cooperation with non-governmental organisations (NGOs), universities, churches,
religious associations and the media in matters related to this project; all
according to documents available on the Internet, yet almost unknown to the
general public since the mainstream media rarely mention them.
I got some critical comments to my original
Eurabia Code, among others a claim
that the Algiers Declaration from 2006, which is mentioned in the text, is not
signed by any official EU body. However, the Anna Lind Euro-Mediterranean
Foundation for the dialogue between cultures, which organised this, is linked to
from the official EU website as a part of the EU's external relations programs
and the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. Some of the organisations that
participate in this may technically be independent organisations, but there is
no doubt that the European Commission constitutes the driving force behind these
networks. Moreover, if you read these documents closely, you will find that they
mention "harmonisation of the education systems" between Europe and the Arab
world. This requires the involvement of the authorities at the highest level.
In September 2008, a brief statement[10] in a few media outlets in Denmark (I've
seen remarkably little mention of this far-reaching proposal in the mainstream
media in most European countries) said that Muslims living in the EU will in
future be able to divorce according to sharia law. This is the belief of the
Commission, which recommends that a couple be able to choose which country's law
they will follow if they divorce – as long as they have some kind of connection
to the country they choose. Danish People's Party spokesman Morten Messerschmidt
was greatly concerned about the proposal: "It's a completely lamebrain idea, the
possibility that the Commission will use inhumane sharia laws in the EU," he
said.
What people don't understand is that this is a part of long-term deals that have
already been agreed upon by EU leaders. Virtually all Western European leaders
have already surrendered. There is no longer a question of whether or not sharia
will be officially accepted as law (as it has been for Muslims living in
Britain); it is only a question of how to implement this.
Meanwhile, a proposed European Arrest Warrant[11] lists a number of crimes,
including terrorism, armed robbery, rape, and racism and xenophobia, which are
punishable throughout the EU. The European Arrest Warrant requires that anyone
who is charged by a member state under the listed group of offenses (which could
cover just about anything) may be arrested by the authorities of the issuing
state within any interference of the other member state. The accused must then
be transited for trial to the issuing state within ten days, without any
interference, judicial or otherwise, by the executing state.
Racism includes "Islamophobia[12]," according to EU documents, which means that
"Islamophobia" could soon be treated as a crime as serious as rape and armed
robbery across the European continent. At the same time, EU leaders are busy
enlarging the EU to include North Africa and the Middle East, thus flooding
Europe with tens of millions of additional Muslims. Not far into the future, we
can imagine a situation where the authorities can arrest a person in, say,
Denmark or Italy, who has published a cartoon that could be considered offensive
to Islam. He will then be handed over to the authorities in Algeria, Egypt or
Jordan.
Remember that blasphemy against Islam carries the death penalty according to
sharia. Multiculturalism in Europe is about to reach its openly totalitarian
phase. Those who think this is a joke can look at the Dutch cartoonist Gregorius
Nekschot[13] who was arrested in 2008 for cartoons that "insulted" Muslims.
Several documents that are publicly available (but little known by the general
public because they are never referred to by the mainstream media) state that
the EU should "harmonise" the education and legal systems with the Arab "partner
countries" within the coming decade. This is being negotiated as we speak,
behind our backs.
European Commission president José Manuel Barroso earlier expressed unease[14]
with the prospect of a second Dutch Lisbon Treaty/European Constitution
referendum. "Referendums make the process of approval of European treaties much
more complicated and less predictable," he said, asking "every member state"
considering a referendum to "think twice." Mr Barroso in his previous job as
Portuguese Prime Minister in 2004 backed a referendum on the EU constitution in
his own country – but since then his thinking has changed. "I was in favour of a
referendum as a prime minister, but it does make our lives with 27 member states
in the EU more difficult. If a referendum had been held on the creation of the
European Community or the introduction of the euro, do you think these would
have passed?"
As journalist Nick Fagge stated in the British newspaper the
Daily Express[15] in October 2008:
"More than 50 million African workers are to be invited to Europe in a
far-reaching secretive migration deal, the Daily Express can reveal today. A
controversiële taxpayer-funded 'job centre' opened in Mali this week is just the
first step towards promoting 'free movement of people in Africa and the EU'.
Brussels economists claim Britain and other EU states will 'need' 56 million
immigrant workers between them by 2050 to make up for the 'demographic decline'
due to falling birth rates and rising death rates across Europe. The report, by
the EU statistical agency Eurostat, warns that vast numbers of migrants could be
needed to meet the shortfall in two years if Europe is to have a hope of funding
the pension and health needs of its growing elderly population. It states:
...'Having sufficient people of working age is vital for the economy and for tax
revenue.' The report, by French MEP Francoise Castex, calls for immigrants to be
given legal rights and access to social welfare provision such as benefits. Ms
Castex said: 'It is urgent that member states have a calm approach to
immigration. To say 'yes', we need immigration …is not a new development, we
must accept it.'"
Let's sum up our findings so far: The EU has accepted that the Union should be
enlarged to include the Muslim Middle East and North Africa. The EU has accepted
that tens of millions of immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries in
northern Africa should be allowed to settle in Europe in the years ahead. This
is supposedly "good for the economy." It is planning to implement sharia laws
for the millions of Muslims it is inviting to settle in Europe. It has passed
stronger anti-racism laws while making it clear that "Islamophobia" constitutes
a form of racism, and is cooperating with Islamic countries on rewriting school
textbooks to provide a "positive" image of Islam to European children. Finally,
the EU is developing an Arrest Warrant which stipulates that those charged with
serious crimes, for instance racism, can be arrested without undue interference
of the nation state they happen to live in. In essence,
the EU is formally surrendering an entire continent to Islam while destroying
established national cultures, and is prepared to harass those who disagree with
this policy. This constitutes the greatest organised betrayal in Western
history, perhaps in human history,
yet is hailed as a victory for "tolerance."
José Manuel Barroso, the leader of the unaccountable government for half a
billion people, has stated[16] that the EU is an empire. Maybe we think it's
ridiculous to see the EU as an empire, but his statement shows that some people
in leading positions do think like this. It would make sense to remember that
all empires in history have been created through war. If the EU is an empire,
this means that a war is being waged against somebody. And it is: A cultural and
demographic war waged by mass immigration against native Europeans. Whereas
empires are normally created by waging a war against other peoples, the EU is
the first empire in history created by leaders allowing other peoples to wage a
war against their own.
The European Union – or the Eurabian Empire if you will – is a naked power grab
by the elites in order to dismantle the nations there are supposed to serve.
Instead of being mere servants of the people in smaller countries, they aspire
to become members of an unaccountable elite ruling a vast empire as they see
fit. This is why they continue to promote mass immigration as if nothing has
happened even if people get blown up, raped, mugged and murdered in their own
cities. They don't care. They are generals on a warpath. Ordinary citizens are
simply cannon fodder, pawns to be sacrificed in the conquest of their glorious,
new empire. Mass immigration is used to crush all nation states simultaneously
so that the natives have no real alternatives to flee to, and no countries can
come to the aid of others against the advancing Islamisation.
Finally, we should remember one thing: All of this started with the appeasement
of Arab bullies like Arafat in the 1970s, who used oil or terrorism or both as
weapons. Europeans should work to get rid of the culture of betrayal, but then
we also need to get rid of the culture of appeasement that brought us in this
mess in the first place. No money for the Palestinians; not one cent. If they
need money, they can ask the Saudis. And no more appeasement of or deals with
Islamic terrorists. It was "dialogue," the Euro-Arab Dialogue, that created
these problems. No more "dialogue." The only way to deal with a bully is to
punch him in the nose, and make him back down. That's the only appropriate way
to deal with Jihadists.
Added documentation, Feb 2010
AB, email from David Hamilton
The following documents are copies of the minutes to meetings held between
former Prime Minister Edward Heath and French President Georges Pompidou in
1971.
The meetings were held in secret and the minutes were classified until former
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was able to have them released under the
Freedom of Information Act in 2008/2009.
They contain exhaustive text which will take the reader into the minds of two
men who decided the fate of British and French politics between them without
reference to the British and French people. The people were never made aware of
their plans which led to the steady erosion of British and French sovereignty
under consecutive staged treaties that would span 40 years, culminate in The
Lisbon Treaty, and would later evidence the total breakdown and disorder of
British and French society along with its economic, political, and military
powers, and its foreign affairs.
So deep was the conspiracy between Heath and Pompidou, and soon thereafter PM
Harold Wilson along with figures then and since of the establishment, that it is
inconceivable that their plans were not at any time revealed to Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth. However, the outcome of the discussions did not only affect
France and Britain’s policies in the decades to come. The policies were adopted
as default by other Western European countries with lesser ideological and
cultural confidence and significance. France and Britain were the cultural and
political locomotives in Western Europe and it is generally well known that
other Western European countries mimicked them and continue to mimick them down
to the last detail.
The following documents will prove how the two most powerful European leaders
laid the foundation for multiculturalism and Islamisation in Western Europe and
did absolutely everything they could to prevent the peoples of Europe from
learning the truth about this conspiracy for the next 40 years:

1. The EU Promotes Crime and Instability
The EU does not protect the peace in Europe. On the contrary, it undermines
stability in the continent by dismantling border controls at a time of the
greatest population movements in human history, with many migrants coming from
politically unstable countries whose instability spills over to European states.
Through its senseless immigration policies, the EU could become partly
responsible for triggering civil wars in several European countries. Maybe it
will be remembered as the “peace project” which brought war.
The European Union has created a borderless region from Greece to France and
from Portugal to Finland, yet the citizens of these countries still pay most of
their taxes to nation states whose borders are no longer upheld. It is
ridiculous to pay up to half of your income to an entity that no longer controls
its own territory or legislation. Unless national borders are re-established,
the citizens of EU member states no longer have any obligation to pay taxes.
The EU promotes a ridiculous amount of laws and regulations, yet street crime
largely goes unpunished and is growing increasingly common. Laws are used to
punish the law-abiding while real criminals rule the streets, although this flaw
is admittedly shared with many national governments. The EU makes a mockery out
of the social contract every single day. As the authorities from Berlin via
Amsterdam to London and Rome fail to uphold law and order, citizens have not
just the right, but the duty to arm themselves in order to protect their
property and the lives of their loved ones.
It is quite possible that we could indeed benefit from some form of European
cooperation in defence of a shared civilisation, but not in the form of the EU
as it is today. The EU is not about cooperation for protecting the best
interests of Europeans; it is about turning the entire continent into a
Multicultural theme park while the natives get culturally deconstructed and
demographically crushed. The EU is a large-scale social experiment conducted on
hundreds of millions of people. It is not about economics of scale, it is about
stupidity of scale.
The EU does not give Europeans a “voice” on the international arena. It’s a
bureaucratic monster at best, a dangerous Utopian project at worst. It makes our
enemies take us less seriously, not more. It is not about giving anybody a
voice; it is about silencing the voices we already have, by depriving us of any
say regarding our future and the destinies of our peoples.
2. The EU Weakens Europe’s Cultural Defences
The EU is systematically surrendering the continent to our worst enemies. When
French, Dutch and Irish voters rejected the EU Constitution, the EU elites moved
on as if nothing had happened. When the Islamic world says that the EU should
work to eradicate “Islamophobia,” they immediately consent to do this. When an
organisation ignores the interests of its own people yet implements the
interests of that people’s enemies, that organisation has become an actively
hostile entity run by a corrupt class of abject traitors. This is what the EU is
today.
The EU is deliberately destroying the cultural traditions of member states by
flooding them with immigrants and eradicating native traditions. This is a gross
violation of the rights of the indigenous peoples across an entire continent.
Europe has some of the richest cultural traditions on the planet. To replace
this with sharia barbarism is a crime against humanity. The European Union is
currently the principal (though not the only) motor behind the Islamisation of
Europe, perhaps the greatest betrayal in this civilisation’s history.
Appeasement of Islam and Muslims is so deeply immersed into the structural DNA
of the EU that the only way to stop the Islamisation of the continent is to get
rid of the EU. All of it.
3. The EU Promotes a Bloated Bureaucracy
A study released by the organisation Open Europe[1]
in August 2008 found that the EU employs an “army” of bureaucrats, and that the
actual number of individuals required to run the EU is close to 170,000 — more
than 7 times the 23,000 figure sometimes cited by the Commission.
According to them, “The legislative process of the EU is
an extremely complex and opaque system, making it very difficult to identify how
many people are actually involved in formulating, implementing and overseeing
legislation. However, research by Open Europe, using limited available
information, shows that just to draft and work out how to implement legislation
the EU requires a bureaucratic staff of around 62,026 people. This figure
reveals where the EU’s real legislative work is actually done: in committees,
behind closed doors and out of the public eye. Most of the work takes place away
from the core institutions within Expert Groups, Council Groups, and what are
known as Comitology committees.”
Notice how this closed and secretive process of drafting legislation for half a
billion people resembles that of a dictatorship. The EU follows a strategy of
hide in plain sight and conceals the real power behind layers of bureaucratic
complexities. This strategy was also followed with the drafting of the
ridiculously long European Constitution.
If somebody presented you with a contract of hundreds of
pages of more or less incomprehensible technical language which was to govern
all aspects of your life and that of your children and grandchildren, and that
person told you to just take his word for it that it is good and could you
please sign on the dotted line, would you have accepted it? That is essentially
what the EU has done regarding the fate of an entire continent, not just a
single family. When some annoying people, such as the Dutch and the Irish, were
unkind enough not to consent blindly to their new serfdom, the EU decided that
they were bound by the contract they just rejected, anyway. It’s arrogance on a
monumental scale, if not plain treason.
The EU is not yet a totalitarian entity, but it holds all
the tools it needs to in order to become one. It has managed to corrupt the
national elites to sell out the freedom of their peoples by inviting them to
take part in the world’s largest racket, paid for by European taxpayers. The
growing pan-European nanny state now interferes with every aspect of social and
economic life, governed by an unaccountable and often hostile minority of social
engineers who wish to impose their way of thinking on the majority.
4. Excessive Regulation and Centralisation is bad for
Freedom and for Prosperity
Europe once became a dynamic continent thanks to
competition at all levels. It is now virtually impossible to find a sector of
society that is untouched by the often excessive EU regulations. The EU
functions as a huge superstate centrally directed by statists obsessed by
regulations. They have learnt little from history, where central planning has
been an almost universal failure. Here is what Nathan Rosenberg and L.E.
Birdzell Jr. say in How The West Grew Rich: The Economic Transformation Of
The Industrial World:
“Initially, the West’s achievement of autonomy stemmed
from a relaxation, or a weakening, of political and religious controls, giving
other departments of social life the opportunity to experiment with change.
Growth is, of course, a form of change, and growth is impossible when change is
not permitted. Any successful change requires a large measure of freedom
to experiment. A grant of that kind of freedom costs a society’s rulers their
feeling of control, as if they were conceding to others the power to determine
the society’s future. The great majority of societies, past and present, have
not allowed it. Nor have they escaped from poverty.”
Moreover, “Western technology developed in the special
context of a high degree of autonomy among the political, religious, scientific,
and economic spheres of social life. Is this high degree of autonomy
indispensable to the successful application of technology to economic welfare?
Few Western scientists would disagree with the proposition that a high degree of
autonomy of the scientific sphere from political or religious control is
essential to scientific advance. It is almost as clear that a similar autonomy,
in much the same degree, is essential to the economic process of translating
scientific advances into goods and services. The technological capability of a
society is bound to be degraded if control of either scientific inquiry or
innovation is located at points of political or religious authority that combine
an interest in controlling the outcome of technological development with the
power to restrict or direct experiment. In all well-ordered societies, political
authority is dedicated to stability, security, and the status quo. It is thus
singularly ill-qualified to direct or channel activity intended to produce
instability, insecurity, and change.”
The European Union cannot be anything but anti-liberty because it concentrates
far too much power in a centralised bureaucratic system that is almost
impossible for outsiders to understand. As the Austrian economist Friedrich
Hayek warned in The Road to Serfdom:
“To imagine that the economic life of a vast area
comprising many different people can be directed or planned by democratic
procedure betrays a complete lack of awareness of the problems such planning
would raise. Planning on an international scale, even more than is true on a
national scale, cannot be anything but a naked rule of force, an imposition by a
small group on all the rest of that sort of standard and employment which the
planners think suitable for the rest.”
5. The Lack of a Real Separation of Powers in the EU
Invites Abuse of Power
We should study the work of the great eighteenth century French thinker
Montesquieu, who admired the British political system. He advocated that the
executive, legislative and judicial branches of government should be assigned to
different bodies, where each of them would not be powerful enough to impose its
will on society. This is because “constant experience shows us that every man
invested with power is apt to abuse it, and to carry his authority as far as it
will go.” This separation of powers is almost totally absent in the European
Union, where there is weak to non-existent separation between the legislative,
the executive and the judicial branches, and where all of them function without
the consent of the public. In short, a small number of people can draft and
implement laws without consulting the people, and these take precedence over the
laws passed by elected assemblies. This is a blueprint for a dictatorship.
In 2007, former German president Roman Herzog warned that
parliamentary democracy was under threat from the EU. Between 1999 and 2004, 84
percent of the legal acts in Germany — and the majority in all EU member states
— stemmed from Brussels. According to Herzog, “EU policies suffer to an alarming
degree from a lack of democracy and a de facto suspension of the separation of
powers.” Despite this, the EU was largely a non-issue during the 2005 German
elections. One gets the feeling that the real issues of substance are not
subject to public debate. National elections have become an increasingly empty
ritual. The important issues have already been settled beforehand behind closed
doors.
Free citizens should obey laws that are passed with the
best long-term interests of their nation and people in mind. Most of the laws
within the EU’s area are no longer passed by elected national representatives,
but by unaccountable EU bureaucrats, some of whom could potentially have been
bought and paid by our Islamic enemies with Arab oil money. As such, the
citizens of these nations no longer have any obligation to obey these laws.
As Montesquieu warned, “When the legislative and
executive powers are united in the same person, or in the same body of
magistrates, there can be no liberty; because apprehensions may arise, lest the
same monarch or senate should enact tyrannical laws, to execute them in a
tyrannical manner.” He also stated that “Useless laws weaken the necessary
laws.” The current problem with the EU is not just the content of laws and the
way they are drafted and passed, but also their sheer volume. Law-abiding
citizens are turned into criminals by laws regulating speech and behaviour,
while real criminals rule the streets in our cities. This situation will either
lead to a police state, to a total breakdown in law and order, or both.
6. The Lack of Transparency Leaves the EU Vulnerable
to Hostile Infiltration
In order to have a system with government under public control, you need
accountability and transparency. The EU fails miserably on both accounts. The
reason why European leaders could commit a betrayal as large as the creation of
Eurabia is not only because EU authorities are not formally subjected to the
popular will, but just as much because they have made the decision-making
process incredibly complicated and moved real power out of the public view.
There is every reason to believe that some of those
claiming to be our representatives have been bribed and/or blackmailed by Muslim
countries and other enemies to implement agendas hostile to our interests. No
system is perfect, but a closed and non-transparent system such as the EU is
particularly vulnerable to infiltration from outsiders and hostile foreign
interests.
The “anti-discrimination laws” we now see in Western
Europe are an indication that the democratic system no longer works as intended.
These laws come from a small group of self-appointed leaders who respond to
pressure from the Islamic world, not from their own people. The European
political elites increasingly risk being seen as collaborators and puppets for
our enemies because that’s in many cases how they act.
7. The EU Leads to Less Freedom of Speech
The EU does nothing to promote freedom in Europe, but
rather spends a great deal of time trying to stamp out what’s left of it. The
EU, in cooperation with Islamic countries, is rewriting school textbooks across
the European continent to present a more “positive” image of Islam. The EU
increasingly views the media and the education system simply as a prolonged arm
of the state. This is the hallmark of a totalitarian state, which is what the
EUSSR is gradually becoming. One gets the feeling that the EU’s concept of a
“united Europe” means one nation, one people — and one allowed opinion. It is
tempting to say one allowed religion as well: Islam.
According to British writer Daniel Hannan[2],
“Eurocrats instinctively dislike spontaneous activity. To them, ‘unregulated’ is
almost synonymous with ‘illegal’. The bureaucratic mindset demands uniformity,
licensing, order. Eurocrats are especially upset because many bloggers, being of
an anarchic disposition, are anti-Brussels. In the French, Dutch and Irish
referendums, the MSM [mainstream media] were uniformly pro-treaty, whereas
internet activity was overwhelmingly sceptical. Bruno Waterfield recently
reported on a secret Commission report about the danger posed by online
libertarians: ‘Apart from official websites, the internet has largely been a
space left to anti-European feeling. Given the ability to reach an audience at a
much lower cost, and given the simplicity of the No campaign messages, it has
proven to be easily malleable during the campaign and pre-campaign period.’ The
EU’s solution? Why, to regulate blogs!”
At the time of writing, it looks like the most radical
proposals to regulate the blogosphere and independent websites have been watered
down for now, but there is no doubt that the EU will make new attempts to censor
the Internet, especially since the organisation has successfully bribed much of
the traditional media. The EU has encouraged pan-European laws against “racism
and hate speech.” Every single action the EU has taken vis-à-vis these subjects
have led to more restrictions of free speech, online and offline. There is no
reason not to expect that trend to continue, especially since the EU tries
consistently to placate Muslims and other immigrant groups in every way
possible. The EU’s attempts to crush dissent and silence criticism of its ideas
will become increasingly aggressive and hard to ignore.
8. The EU Fails to Consult its Citizens and Insults
Them When Doing So
The Irish referendum in 2008 on the proposed EU
Constitution/ Lisbon Treaty is a powerful testimony to the evil nature of the
European Union. Before the referendum, a number of EU leaders made it perfectly
clear that the Lisbon Treaty was virtually identical to the European
Constitution which had been rejected by Dutch and French voters in 2005, and
which should then presumably have been dead.
Former French President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing (the chief drafter of the
Constitution) said[3]:
“the proposals in the original constitutional treaty are practically unchanged.
They have simply been dispersed through old treaties in the form of amendments.
Why this subtle change? Above all, to head off any threat of referenda by
avoiding any form of constitutional vocabulary.” D’Estaing also said[4]:
“Public opinion will be led to adopt, without knowing it, the proposals that we
dare not present to them directly… All the earlier proposals will be in the new
text, but will be hidden and disguised in some way.” Spanish PM José Luis
Rodríguez Zapatero said[5]: “We have not let a
single substantial point of the Constitutional Treaty go…” Italian President
Giorgio Napolitano said[6]: “Those who are anti-EU
are terrorists. It is psychological terrorism to suggest the specter of a
European superstate.”
Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen admitted that he had not
read the Lisbon Treaty in full, but nonetheless assured his people that it was
good and that Irishmen should vote “yes” based on this assurance. He said that
voters were being asked to give the EU a “more effective and efficient
decision-making process.”
If a dictator decides to ignore the opinion of everybody
else and implement policies as he sees fit without consulting anybody, this
could be seen as a “more efficient” decision-making process from a certain point
of view. Is it this kind of “efficiency” the EU is promoting? Mr. Cowen doesn’t
say, but it’s tempting to speculate that the answer is “yes.” According to the
words and actions of the EU elites, the will of the people is merely an annoying
speed bump which slows down the implementation of their supremely enlightened
policies.
After[7] the referendum,
when it was clear that the Irish would have none of this trick, the Irish EU
Commissioner Charlie McCreevy[8] revealed that he
had not read the Lisbon Treaty himself: “I would predict that there won’t be 250
people in the whole of the 4.2 million population of Ireland that have read the
treaties cover-to-cover. I further predict that there is not 10 percent of that
250 that will understand every section and subsection,” he said. “But is there
anything different about that?” said the Commissioner, adding: “Does anyone read
the finance act?” referring to the lengthy documents he drew up when he was
finance minister in Ireland.
Let us repeat this again. This man stated — probably
correctly — that not more than a couple of dozen people among millions of
citizens actually understood the document they were supposed to vote over, yet
he saw nothing inherently wrong with this. The EU Constitution/ Lisbon Treaty
would finalise the transfer of authority to a new pan-European superstate with
almost unlimited powers to direct the affairs and lives of half a billion people
in dozens of countries, from Finland to France and from Ireland to Poland. The
Irish responded in the only sensible manner, but European leaders made it
perfectly clear that they would press on with the project of dismantling
European nation states regardless of popular resistance.
French President Sarkozy and German Chancellor Merkel
issued a joint statement[9] saying they “hope that
the other member states will continue the process of ratification.” The German
Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier[10] said:
“The ratification process must continue. I am still convinced that we need this
treaty.” The British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said[11]
the UK would press on with ratification: “It’s right that we continue with our
own process.”
The President of the European Parliament Hans-Gert
Pöttering stated[12]: “The ratification process
must continue” because “the reform of the European Union is important for
citizens, for democracy and for transparency.” In other words: The reason the EU
is tossing aside the verdict of the Irish people, as well as the French and
Dutch people and numerous others who never got the chance to voice their opinion
at all, is for “democracy.”
According to writer Martin Helme[13],
it was always clear that the power elites were not going to accept an Irish
“no.” After the first shock they would simply continue carrying out plan A:
“One of the most disgusting and outrageous talking points
already being peddled by the Eurocrats and their friends in the liberal
mainstream media is that 862,415 Irish voters have no right to block the desired
goal of some 450 million Europeans. This distortion of truth should never go
unchallenged. First of all, those few million Irish were actually the only
citizens in Europe who were asked for their opinion. The rest of the 446 or so
millions were never consulted. How can any politician claim that their voters
want the ratification of EU constitution/Lisbon Treaty when the entire political
class emphatically insisted on not asking the people? In fact, in many countries
politicians openly admit that their voters would have done the same as Irish
did, i.e. vote against the rotten thing. So it is not the few million Irish
voters blocking the will of hundreds of millions of other European voters but
very clearly a mass of Irish voters against a few thousand politicians and
bureaucrats who make up the European power elite. Secondly, what happened to
those 20 million French and Dutch voters who said no to the same document three
years ago?”
The European Commission in April 2008[14]
presented a new plan aimed at increasing EU citizens’ involvement in the
decision-making process of the 27-nation bloc, as well as making it more
popular. “We must consult citizens,” said the Swedish Commissioner Margot
Wallström then. She is famous for her remark in 2005[15]
that Europeans needed to approve of the proposed EU constitution or risk a new
Holocaust. Three years after the Constitution was first rejected, and still with
no Holocaust in sight, the EU no longer pretends to care about the will of the
people. When Eurocrats talk about “consulting” citizens, they mean insulting
them.
In April 2008, a demonstration[16]
comprising people from all walks of life and from most political parties
convened in front of the famous and beautiful Staatsoper (State Opera) in the
center of Vienna to demonstrate against the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty in
the Austrian Parliament, which later occurred without holding a referendum.
Opinion polls showed that a majority of Austrians were convinced, as they should
be, that policy is determined almost exclusively by Brussels. They see[17]
local politicians as largely deprived of any power, and many of them were
reluctant to grant even more power to the unaccountable EU.
Opinion polls from mid-2008[18]
showed that a strong majority of the Dutch were still against the Lisbon Treaty,
which is virtually identical to the Constitution that Dutch voters rejected by
62 to 38 percent in the 2005 referendum. Nevertheless, the Netherlands is going
ahead with the ratification of the Treaty even after the Irish rejected it, said
Premier Jan Peter Balkenende. The political elites are determined to continue a
process which will essentially dismantle their country and reduce it to just
another province in an emerging Eurabian superstate, and openly ignore their own
people in order to implement this.
As Helme states, “Governments have willfully and
knowingly gone against the will of the people, trashed their own constitutions,
corrupted their courts to go along with it (thus trashing the rule of law) and
started to govern without the consent of the people or the rule of law….This is
the path that leads to revolution. Good! As Thomas Jefferson said ‘The tree of
liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and
tyrants.’ I have a feeling that more and more people around Europe are ready for
it. How about the politicians?”
9. The EU Undermines Political Legitimacy and
Connections between Rulers and the Ruled
Proponents of the European Union claim that it is a “peace project.” But the EU
is not about peace, it is about war: A demographic and cultural war waged
against an entire continent, from the Black Sea to the North Sea, in order to
destroy European nation states and build an empire run by self-appointed
bureaucrats. This is supported by national politicians in order to enhance their
personal power, by creating a larger political entity than their individual
nation states and by ridding themselves of the constraints of a democratic
society. The EU corrupts national political elites into betraying the people
they are supposed to serve and protect.
Anthony Coughlan[19], a
senior lecturer at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, states the following in
an essay at the EU Observer:
“At a national level when a minister wants to get
something done, he or she must have the backing of the prime minister, must have
the agreement of the minister for finance if it means spending money, and above
all must have majority support in the national parliament, and implicitly
amongst voters in the country. Shift the policy area in question to the
supranational level of Brussels however, where laws are made primarily by the
27-member Council of Ministers, and the minister in question becomes a member of
an oligarchy, a committee of lawmakers, the most powerful in history, making
laws for 500 million Europeans, and irremovable as a group regardless of what it
does. National parliaments and citizens lose power with every EU treaty, for
they no longer have the final say in the policy areas concerned. Individual
ministers on the other hand obtain an intoxicating increase in personal power,
as they are transformed from members of the executive arm of government at
national level, subordinate to a national legislature, into EU-wide legislators
at the supranational.”
EU ministers see themselves as architects of a superpower
in the making, and can free themselves from scrutiny of their actions by elected
national parliaments. According to Coughlan, EU integration represents “a
gradual coup by government executives against legislatures, and by politicians
against the citizens who elect them.” This process sucks the reality of power
from “traditional government institutions, while leaving these still formally
intact. They still keep their old names — parliament, government, supreme court
— so that their citizens do not get too alarmed, but their classical functions
have been transformed.”
The European Union is basically an attempt by the elites
in European nations to cooperate on usurping power, bypassing and abolishing the
democratic system, a slow-motion coup d’état. Ideas such as “promoting peace” or
“promoting free trade” are used as a pretext for this, a bone thrown to fool the
gullible masses and veil what is essentially a naked power grab.
The European Union is deeply flawed in its basic
construction and cannot function as anything other than an increasingly
totalitarian pan-European dictatorship, run by a self-appointed oligarchy.
Indeed, there is reason to fear that it was designed that way. Power is
concentrated heavily in institutions that are above the formal restraints of
public consent and above the informal restraints of public scrutiny and insight.
EU authorities can do more or less whatever they want to, as they do in
relations to the Arab and Islamic world.
10. The EU Spreads a Culture of Lies and Corruption
After Irish voters had clearly rejected the Lisbon Treaty (the slightly changed,
but otherwise recycled version of the European Constitution which had been
rejected by French and Dutch voters earlier), Prime Minister Anders Fogh
Rasmussen of Denmark said[20]
Ireland should be given less than nine months to work out its problems with the
Lisbon Treaty prior to the EU’s parliamentary elections in 2009. Rasmussen said
that the Irish “no” vote to the Constitution should not stop further work by the
Union toward getting the treaty ratified. European leaders, including Danish
ones, have generally preferred ratification of the EU Constitution without
popular referendums because they know there is powerful resistance to it in many
countries. It is meaningless to have referendums if they only come when the
elites want them to, and these elites can ignore them if they dislike the
results.
Mr. Rasmussen[21] is a
great example of how the European Union slowly destroys the democratic system
and is deliberately designed to do so. He is supposed to follow the will of and
interests of his people, but his actual loyalty lies with the rest of the EU
oligarchy. He’s by no means the worst person among EU leaders; this isn’t about
his personal flaws, it’s about the EU and how it eventually corrupts even
otherwise decent individuals. A similar thing happened in Portugal, where the PM
responded to calls from the leaders of Germany and France, not his own
electorate.
The EU is a slow-motion coup d’état conducted against
dozens of countries simultaneously. It is designed to empty all organs subjected
to the popular will of any real power and transfer it into the hands of an
unelected oligarchy. In fact, it’s worse than a coup d’état because this
traditionally implied that a group of people seized control over a country. The
EU doesn’t just want to seize control over nation states; it wants to abolish
them. The EU is organised treason.
The EU elites react as one when faced with challenges to
their power base from ordinary people. MEPs in the European Parliament as well
as participants at every level of the EU system get very well-paid jobs for
taking part in it, which means that their pragmatic interests lie with
maintaining it. Their loyalty has been bought — with the tax money of European
citizens — and transferred from their people, where it theoretically should be,
to the EU. The EU is their pension plan, so to speak. When you challenge the EU,
you thus constitute a direct threat to their personal financial interests, and
they will respond accordingly.
Just like the Soviet Union, the European Union promotes a
culture of lies and corruption which starts at the top and filters down to
society as a whole. The EU system corrupts virtually everybody who comes close
to it. It cannot be reformed, it can only be dismantled.

by Fjordman
I know many Americans, and Europeans, too, have more or less written off Western
Europe as lost to Islam already. I would be lying if I said that I didn’t think
this too sometimes, but I do see encouraging signs of a real shift of public
opinion beneath the surface. Judging from information such as the extremely high
number of Germans hostile to Islam, I still believe, or at least hope, that
Europe can be saved. But this hope hinges on the complete and utter destruction
of the European Union.
The EU must die, or Europe will die. It’s that simple.
Bat Ye’or in her book Eurabia: The
Euro-Arab Axis is right in pointing out that ordinary Europeans have never
voted for this merger with the Islamic world through massive Muslim immigration
and multiculturalism. This is closely tied to the rise of the European Union,
which has transferred power away from the people and the democratic process to
behind-the-scenes deals made by corrupt, Eurabian officials and bureaucrats.
Several observers have noted that there is a serious disconnect between the
European elites and ordinary citizens. This has been made possible largely
because of the EU.
I have heard the term “neo-Feudalism” being used of the EU. There are definitely
certain elite groups in Europe who have never really accepted the loss of power
to “the mob,” and think that everything that’s wrong with Europe is because of
“populism,” what others call democracy. These are also the people who created
Eurabia and “forgot” to consult the public about these plans. The EU should be
viewed that way, as a de facto, slow-motion abolition of European democracy,
disguised as something else. The real force behind the EU is to cede national
sovereignty to a new ruling class of bureaucrats, a new aristocracy and a
throwback to the pre-democratic age.
I’m really worried about a complete collapse of the democratic system here. It
has already been weakened by the EU, the UN etc. for a long time, and now we
also have direct physical threats by Muslims to freedom of speech. Ordinary
Europeans are no longer in control of our own fates. Sweden has for instance in
reality ceased being a democratic country[1],
in my view. We need to recapture this, or Europe is finished.
In an interview with Paul Belien of the
Brussels Journal in February 2006[2], former Soviet Dissident Vladimir
Bukovksy warned that the European Union is on its way to becoming another Soviet
Union, an EUSSR as some people call it. In a speech he delivered in Brussels,
Belgium, Mr Bukovsky called the EU a “monster” that must be destroyed, the
sooner the better, before it develops into a fully-fledged totalitarian state.
“I am referring to structures, to certain ideologies being instilled, to the
plans, the direction, the inevitable expansion, the obliteration of nations,
which was the purpose of the Soviet Union. Most people do not understand this.
They do not know it, but we do because we were raised in the Soviet Union where
we had to study the Soviet ideology in school and at university. The ultimate
purpose of the Soviet Union was to create a new historic entity, the Soviet
people, all around the globe. The same is true in the EU today. They are trying
to create a new people. They call this people “Europeans”, whatever that means.
According to Communist doctrine as well as to many forms of Socialist thinking,
the state, the national state, is supposed to wither away. In Russia, however,
the opposite happened. Instead of withering away the Soviet state became a very
powerful state, but the nationalities were obliterated. But when the time of the
Soviet collapse came these suppressed feelings of national identity came
bouncing back and they nearly destroyed the country. It was so frightening.”
Bukovksy replied negatively to Belien’s question whether the member countries of
the EU didn’t join the union voluntarily, and that the integration thus reflects
the democratic will of Europeans. “No, they did not. Look at Denmark which voted
against the Maastricht treaty twice. Look at Ireland [which voted against the
Nice treaty]. Look at many other countries, they are under enormous pressure. It
is almost blackmail. It is a trick for idiots. The people have to vote in
referendums until the people vote the way that is wanted. Then they have to stop
voting. Why stop? Let us continue voting. The European Union is what Americans
would call a shotgun marriage.”
In 1992, Bukovksy had unprecedented access to Politburo and other Soviet secret
documents. According to him, some of these documents “show very clearly” that
the idea of turning the European common market into a federal state was
encouraged in agreements between the left-wing parties of Europe and Moscow as a
joint project which Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1988-89 called our
“common European home” “Of course, it is a milder version of the Soviet Union. I
am not saying that it has a Gulag.”
“The idea was very simple. It first came up in 1985-86, when the Italian
Communists visited Gorbachev, followed by the German Social-Democrats. They all
complained that the changes in the world, particularly after [British Prime
Minister Margaret] Thatcher introduced privatisation and economic
liberalisation, were threatening to wipe out the achievement (as they called it)
of generations of Socialists and Social-Democrats – threatening to reverse it
completely. Therefore the only way to withstand this onslaught of wild
capitalism (as they called it) was to try to introduce the same socialist goals
in all countries at once. Prior to that, the left-wing parties and the Soviet
Union had opposed European integration very much because they perceived it as a
means to block their socialist goals.” From 1985 onwards, “the Soviets came to
an agreement with the left-wing parties that if they worked together they could
hijack the whole European project and turn it upside down. Instead of an open
market they would turn it into a federal state.”
In January 1989, during a meeting between Gorbachev, former Japanese Prime
Minister Nakasone, former French President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, American
banker Rockefeller and former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Giscard
d’Estaing is supposed to have stated that: “Europe is going to be a federal
state and you have to prepare yourself for that. You have to work out with us,
and the European leaders, how you would react to that, how would you allow the
other Eastern European countries to interact with it or how to become a part of
it, you have to be prepared.” As Vladimir Bukovksy points out, this was 1989, at
a time when the [1992] Maastricht treaty had not even been drafted. “How the
hell did Giscard d’Estaing know what was going to happen in 15 years time? And
surprise, surprise, how did he become the author of the European constitution
[in 2002-03]? It does smell of conspiracy, doesn’t it?”
Yes, it does smell of conspiracy. This was in the 1980s, when most of the media
still dismissed talk of a political union to subdue the nation states as
scaremongering. Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, former French President and chief
drafter of the awful EU Constitution[3],
an impenetrable brick of a book of hundreds of pages without any of the checks
and balances of the American Constitution, has argued that the rejection of the
Constitution in the French and Dutch referendums in 2005 “was a mistake which
will have to be corrected.” “The Constitution will have to be given its second
chance.” He said the French people voted No out of an “error of judgement” and
“ignorance”, and insisted that “In the end, the text will be adopted.” “It was a
mistake to use the referendum process, but when you make a mistake you can
correct it.” Mr Giscard d’Estaing indicated that the treaty could be put to
French voters in a second referendum, or be ratified by the French parliament.
“People have the right to change their opinion. The people might consider
they made a mistake[4],” he said on a
possible new referendum. Anybody who still questions whether Eurabia, the
deliberate merger between Europe and the Arab-Islamic world described by Bat
Ye’or, is “just a conspiracy theory” should read these statements by Giscard
d’Estaing. Why should we be surprised if leading EU officials make
behind-the-scenes agreements that affect the future of the entire continent, yet
say nothing about this in public or flat out lie about their agenda? This is how
the EU has been working for decades, indeed from the very beginning.
From its inception, European integration has been a French-led enterprise. The
fact that the French political elite still want to maintain their leadership
over Europe was amply demonstrated during the Iraq war.
President Chirac[5] famously said in
2003 after Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic backed the US position “They
missed a good opportunity to shut up,” adding “These countries have been not
very well behaved and rather reckless of the danger of aligning themselves too
rapidly with the American position.” Jean Monnet, French economist who was never
elected to public office, is regarded by many as the architect of European
integration. Monnet was a well-connected pragmatist who worked behind the scenes
towards the gradual creation of European unity. Richard North, publisher of the
blog EU Referendum[6] and co-author
of the book The Great Deception: Can the
European Union Survive? together with Christopher Booker, describes how Jean
Monnet for years, at least from the 1920s, had dreamed of building a “United
States of Europe.” Although what Monnet really had in mind was the creation of a
European entity with all the attributes of a state, an “anodyne phrasing was
deliberately chosen with a view to making it difficult to dilute by converting
it into just another intergovernmental body. It was also couched in this fashion
so that it would not scare off national governments by emphasising that its
purpose was to override their sovereignty.” In their analysis of the EU’s
history, the authors claim that the EU was not born out of WW2, as many people
seem to think. It had been planned at least a generation before that.
The Schuman Declaration of 9 May 1950, widely presented as
the beginning of the efforts towards a
European Union[7] and commemorated in “Europe Day,” contains phrases which
state that it is “a first step in the federation of Europe”, and that “this
proposal will lead to the realisation of the first concrete foundation of a
European federation”. As critics of the EU have noted, these political
objectives are usually omitted when the Declaration is referred to, and most
people do not even know of their existence. A federation is of course a State
and “yet for decades now the champions of EC/EU integration have been swearing
blind that they have no knowledge of any such plans. EEC/EC/EU has steadily
acquired ever more features of a supranational Federation: flag, anthem,
Parliament, Supreme Court, currency, laws.” The EU founders “were careful only
to show their citizens the benign features of their project. It had been
designed to be implemented incrementally, as an ongoing process, so that no
single phase of the project would arouse sufficient opposition as to stop or
derail it.” Booker and North calls the European Union “a slow-motion coup
d’état: the most spectacular coup d’état in history,” designed to gradually and
carefully sideline the democratic process and subdue the older nation states of
Europe without saying so in public.
In 2005, an unprecedented joint declaration by the leaders of all British
political groups in Brussels called for PM Tony Blair to push for an
end the “medieval” practice[8] of
European legislation being decided behind closed doors. Critics claim that the
Council of Ministers, the EU’s supreme law-making body, which decides two thirds
of all Britain’s laws (and the majority of laws in all Western European
countries), “is the only legislature outside the Communist dictatorships of
North Korea and Cuba to pass laws in secret.” As one of the signers put it: “We
still have this medieval way of making decisions in the EU; people hide behind
other member states, and blame them. It increases people’s sense of cynicism,
but what we need is some straight talking.” According to British Conservative
politician Daniel Hannan[9], this is
how the EU was designed. “Its founding fathers understood from the first that
their audacious plan to merge the ancient nations of Europe into a single polity
would never succeed if each successive transfer of power had to be referred back
to the voters for approval. So they cunningly devised a structure where supreme
power was in the hands of appointed functionaries, immune to public opinion.”
“Indeed, the EU’s structure is not so much undemocratic as anti-democratic.”
Vladimir Bukovksy, too, warns that it looks like we are living in a period of
rapid, systematic and very consistent dismantlement of democracy. “Look at this
Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill. It makes ministers into legislators who
can introduce new laws without bothering to tell Parliament or anyone.” “Today’s
situation is really grim. Major political parties have been completely taken in
by the new EU project. None of them really opposes it. They have become very
corrupt. Who is going to defend our freedoms?” He doesn’t have much faith in
institutions such as the elected, but largely powerless European Parliament, to
curtail these developments. “The European Parliament is elected on the basis of
proportional representation, which is not true representation. And what does it
vote on? The percentage of fat in yoghurt, that kind of thing. It is
ridiculous.” “It is no accident that the European Parliament, for example,
reminds me of the Supreme Soviet. It looks like the Supreme Soviet because it
was designed like it. Similary, when you look at the European Commission it
looks like the Politburo,” which was the real centre of power in the USSR,
unaccountable to anyone, not directly elected by anyone at all.
Another former citizen of the USSR,
Vilius Brazenas[10], has noted some of these similarities between EU and
Soviet institutions, too. “When former Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev visited
Britain in 2000, he accurately described the European Union as “the new European
Soviet.” He said this with obvious approval, since he sees the evolving EU as
fulfilling his vision of a “common European home” stretching “from the Atlantic
to the Urals,” as he described it in his 1987 book Perestroika. Mr. Gorbachev is
a lifelong Communist.” “It is highly significant that a top-level
Marxist-Leninist such as Mikhail Gorbachev could find such affinity with Western
leaders about a “common European home” and then, 13 years later, approvingly
note that that common home was moving ever closer to the Soviet model.” “Booker
and North write that Belgian Prime Minister Paul-Henri Spaak, known in Europe as
“Mr. Socialist,” was responsible for convincing his fellow EU founding fathers
that “the most effective way to disguise their project’s political purpose was
to conceal it behind a pretense that it was concerned only with economic
co-operation, based on dismantling trade barriers: a ‘common market.’”
Meanwhile, the vast and inflated EU bureaucracy puts its tentacles into
regulating every conceivable subject in Europe in great detail, not just the
percentage of fat in yoghurt. Beer drinkers in Germany were frothing at the
mouth during the summer of 2005 over EU plans to make Bavarian barmaids cover
up. The aim of the proposed EU directive was to protect them from the sun’s
harmful rays. But the so-called “tan ban”[11]
was condemned as absurd by breweries, politicians — and the barmaids. It was
eventually withdrawn. In Sweden, most clothes sold in shops contain labels with
washing instructions[12]. But the
labels were viewed at the EU level as a hindrance to free trade, as it was
prejudicial to foreign clothes sold in Sweden that don’t have the labels. A poll
commissioned by the Swedish Consumer Agency showed that eight out of ten Swedes
read the washing instructions before they wash new clothes, and six out of ten
read them before they buy clothes.
These are examples of the more ridiculous or funny aspects of the EU machinery.
But there is also a much more sinister side to it: The promotion of an official,
“Eurabian” federal ideology promoting
multiculturalism[13], denouncing all those wanting to preserve their
democracy at the nation state level as “xenophobes” and those wanting to limit
Third World immigration as “racists.” A report from the EU’s racism watchdog
said Europe must do more to combat racism and “Islamophobia.[14]”
New anti-discrimination laws to combat Islamophobia are to be enacted, as they
already have been in Norway, where Norwegians need to
mount proof of their own innocence[15]
if Muslim immigrants accuse them of discrimination in any form, including
discriminatory speech. The EU also wants to promote an
official lexicon[16] shunning
offensive and culturally insensitive terms such as “Islamic terrorism.”
EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana[17],
after the ripples caused in early 2006 by the Muhammad cartoons published in
Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, travelled to the Middle East and made joint
statements with Islamic leaders that “freedom of the press entails
responsibility and discretion and should respect the beliefs and tenets of all
religions.” Solana said that he had discussed means to ensure that “religious
symbols can be protected”. Such steps could materialise through various
mechanisms, “and maybe inside the new human rights commission created in the
UN”, he said. He held talks with Sheikh Mohammed Sayed Tantawi of Al Azhar
University, the highest seat of learning in Sunni Islam, and Arab League
Secretary-General Amr Moussa. In a meeting with the leader of the Organisation
of the Islamic Conference (OIC), Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, Solana said that “I
expressed our sincere regret that
religious feelings have been hurt[18]”, vowing “to reach out… to make sure
that people’s hearts and minds are not hurt again.” Dutch daily De Telegraaf
quoted the Dutch state secretary for European Affairs Atzo Nicolai as
characterising the appeasing tone used by Mr Solana as “shocking.” Only a few
years earlier, Mr. Solana, then Secretary General of NATO,
in a speech stated[19] that “the root
cause of conflicts in Europe and beyond can be traced directly to the absence of
democracy and openness. The absence of the pressure valve of democratic
discourse can lead these societies to explode into violence.” The irony that he
himself later was trying to curtail the democratic discourse in Europe through
the promotion of Islamic censorship and speech codes apparently did not strike
him.
Journalist Nidra Poller[20],
commenting on the debate prior to the EU Constitution referendum in France,
noted other incidents of this deliberate, submissive attitude among EU leaders
towards Muslim demands. “The Euro-Mediterranean “Dialogue” is a masterpiece of
abject surrender. The European Union functions therein as an intermediate stage
of an ominous Eurabian project that calls for a meltdown of European culture and
its recasting in a monumental paradise of cultural relativism… that closely
resembles the Muslim oumma. Isn’t this a more accurate vision of what the Union
is preparing for its docile citizens? When subversive appeasement hides behind
the veil of “Dialogue,” what unspeakable ambitions might be dissembled by the
noble word “Constitution”?”
Intelligent people have been warning against this development for years. British
philosopher Roger Scruton, in books such a
The West and the Rest: Globalisation and
the Terrorist Threat[21] and England and the Need for Nations[22], warns
that: “We in Europe stand at a turning point in our history. Our parliaments and
legal systems still have territorial sovereignty. They still correspond to
historical patterns of settlement that have enabled the French, the Germans, the
Spaniards, the British and the Italians to say ‘we’ and to know whom they mean
by it. The opportunity remains to recuperate the legislative powers and the
executive procedures that formed the nation states of Europe. At the same time,
the process has been set in motion that would expropriate the remaining
sovereignty of our parliaments and courts, that would annihilate the boundaries
between our jurisdictions, that would dissolve the nationalities of Europe in a
historically meaningless collectivity, united neither by language, nor by
religion, nor by customs, nor by inherited sovereignty and law.” “The case
against the nation state has not been properly made, and the case for the
transnational alternative has not been made at all. I believe therefore that we
are on the brink of decisions that could prove disastrous for Europe and for the
world, and that we have only a few years in which to take stock of our
inheritance and to reassume it.”
Czech President Vaclav Klaus[23], an
admirer of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, has said that the EU enlargement
with ten new member states, mostly former Communist countries in Central and
Eastern Europe, “increased the EU’s democratic deficit.” He warned that “The EU
has continued – at an accelerated speed – to expand the number of pages of its
legislation which now deals with almost every aspect of human life and human
activities.” Mr Klaus also stressed that the nation-state “is an unsubstitutable
guarantor of democracy (opposite to all kinds of ‘Reichs,’ empires and
conglomerates of states).”
According to Vladimir Bukovksy, “the most likely outcome is that there will be
an economic collapse in Europe, which in due time is bound to happen with this
growth of expenses and taxes. The inability to create a competitive environment,
the overregulation of the economy, the bureaucratisation, it is going to lead to
economic collapse.” “I have no doubt about it. There will be a collapse of the
European Union pretty much like the Soviet Union collapsed. But do not forget
that when these things collapse they leave such devastation that it takes a
generation to recover. Just think what will happen if it comes to an economic
crisis. The recrimination between nations will be huge. It might come to blows.
Look to the huge number of immigrants from Third World countries now living in
Europe. This was promoted by the European Union. What will happen with them if
there is an economic collapse? We will probably have, like in the Soviet Union
at the end, so much ethnic strife that the mind boggles.” “I think that the
European Union, like the Soviet Union, cannot be democratised. Gorbachev tried
to democratise it and it blew up. This kind of structures cannot be
democratised.”
Richard North[24] writes that “If,
against all the odds, the Constitution does go ahead, it would be like locking
down the lid on a pressure cooker and sealing off the safety valve. The break-up
might take a little longer, but it will be explosive when it comes.” In the book
he co-authored with Christopher Booker, the authors conclude: “Behind the lofty
ideals of supranationalism in short, evoking an image of Commissoners sitting
like Plato’s Guardians, guiding the affairs of Europe on some rarefied plane far
above the petty egotisms and rivalries of mere nation states, the project Monnet
had set on its way was a vast, ramshackle, self-deluding monster: partly
suffocating in its own bureaucracy; partly a corrupt racket, providing endless
opportunities for individuals and collectives to outwit and exploit their fellow
men; partly a mighty engine for promoting the national interests of those
countries who knew how to ‘work the system’, among whom the Irish and the
Spanish had done better than most, but of whom France was the unrivalled master.
The one thing above all the project could never be, because by definition it had
never been intended to be, was in the remotest sense democratic.” They believe
this is why the EU is doomed and why it will “leave a
terrible devastation[25] behind it, a
wasteland from which it would take many years for the peoples of Europe to
emerge.”
I understand concerns that the destruction of the EU could cause “instability”
in Europe. It will. But we will probably end up with some “instability” anyway,
given the number of Muslims here that the EUrabians have helped in. Besides, if
“stability” means a steady course towards Eurabia, I’ll take some instability
any day. I can’t see that we have any choice. The truth is that Europe has got
itself into a bad fix, again, and will have some turbulent and painful years and
decades ahead regardless of what we do at this point. The choice is between some
pain where Europe prevails and pain where Europe simply ceases to exist as a
Western, cultural entity.
Some would hope that we could “reform” the EU, keep the “positive” aspects of it
and not “throw out the baby with the bath water.” I beg to differ. I was naïve,
too, once, and thought there were positive aspects to the EU. There aren’t, or
not nearly enough to keep any of it.
The EU is all bath water, no baby.
Which is why, as Bukovksy says, “the sooner we finish with the EU the better.
The sooner it collapses the less damage it will have done to us and to other
countries. But we have to be quick because the Eurocrats are moving very fast.
It will be difficult to defeat them. Today it is still simple. If one million
people march on Brussels today these guys will run away to the Bahamas.”
The creation of Eurabia is the greatest act of treason in the history of Western
civilisation for two thousand years, since the age of Brutus and Judas. In Dante
Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy, Brutus and Judas Iscariot were placed in the
harshest section of Hell, even below Muhammad. If Dante were alive today, he’d
probably make some room for Valéry Giscard d’Estaing and his Eurabian cronies in
the Hot Place. The EU elites see themselves as Julius Caesar or Octavian, but
end up being Brutus. They want to recreate the Roman Empire on both sides of the
Mediterranean, bound together by some vague references to a “shared Greek
heritage.” Instead, they are creating a civilisational breakdown across much of
Western Europe as the barbarians are overrunning the continent. The EU wants to
recreate the Roman Empire and ends up creating the second fall of Rome.
Eurabia can only be derailed by destroying the organisation that created it in
the first place: The European Union.

By Fjordman
The United Nation’sSecretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned[1] Wilder’s movie
Fitna as “offensively anti-Islamic,” and said that “There is no
justification for hate speech or incitement to violence.” Does that mean that
the UN is now going to ban the Koran, which does both? As Robert Spencer
commented, “What exactly is ‘hate speech’ about quoting Qur’an verses and then
showing Muslim preachers using those verses to exhort people to commit acts of
violence, as well as violent acts committed by Muslims inspired by those verses
and others?”
Earlier in March[2], the U.N. Human Rights Council, which is dominated by Muslim
countries, passed a resolution saying it is deeply concerned about the
defamation of religions and urging governments to prohibit it. The only religion
specified is Islam. The document was put forward by the Organisation of the
Islamic Conference, the largest voting bloc at the UN, sponsored by Saudi money.
I have been saying for a long time that trying to export “democracy” to Islamic
countries is pointless. Islam can be compatible with “democracy” in the limited
sense of voting rights and majority rule, but this has never automatically
implied individual liberty. (See my online booklet Is Islam Compatible With
Democracy?[3])
It’s a sick joke that American soldiers are bleeding literally and American
taxpayers financially to export “democracy” to Iraq while Muslims are exporting
Sharia to us. Freedom is free speech, that’s the simplest, and maybe the truest,
definition of it. Muslims are trying to use the UN to limit free speech across
the world, which basically means putting the entire world under Islamic rule.
My view of the United Nations[4] is quite clear: It is at best irrelevant. At
best.
Increasingly, it is turning into an outright enemy, an enemy funded by us but
used to attack us. I don’t know about anybody else, but I’m goddam tired of
sponsoring enemies, at home and abroad. I’m all for boycotting the UN and making
it truly irrelevant by bleeding it dry for funds and ultimately withdrawing from
it.
Even if we are in a weak phase, which we are, we are still a civilisation of
vastly superior resources. Muslims have lots of oil and lots of babies and lots
of aggression, but that’s all they have. Otherwise, they’re a spectacular
failure. We need them for very little. They need us for virtually everything.
Their greatest flaw is their arrogance. Muslims are arrogant losers.
We should exploit that. We should separate ourselves from the Islamic world as
much as possible. They will suffer far more from this than we will. We can start
by boycotting the UN, which is now little more than a tool for global sharia,
and the Arab Muslims of the West Bank and Gaza, who reinvented themselves as
“Palestinians” and started whining at the UN after the Israelis kicked their
collective behinds in 1967.
I notice former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad[5] calls upon Muslims
worldwide to boycott Dutch products. I’m all for boycotts of and by Muslims. The
more, the merrier. In case somebody forgot, Mr. Mahathir held the notorious
speech at the OIC conference in 2003, where he said that the Jews rule the world
by proxy and that Muslims must unite to achieve a final victory over them. Not
everybody remembers that he also boasted about the age when”Europeans had to
kneel at the feet of Muslim scholars in order to access their own scholastic
heritage.”
Somebody should remind him that the so-called “golden age” of Islam was a result
of a still-majority or near-majority non-Muslim population. As soon as that
majority declined, due to harassment and discrimination, the Islamic world never
recovered. Malaysia is sometimes portrayed as an economically successful Muslim
nation, but that is because it only recently became majority Muslim and still
has a large Chinese, Indian and other non-Muslim minority. Since Islam is
becoming more aggressive and Muslims increase discrimination of non-Muslims,
infidels will leave, and Malaysia will gradually be reduced to just another
failed sharia state.
We should all be happy if Muslims boycott us. When they feel so unwelcome that
they stop coming to our countries, we will be making progress.
Recommendations for the West - 1[6]
The best way to deal with the Islamic world is to have as
little to do with it as possible. We should ban Muslim immigration. This could
be done in creative and indirect ways, such as banning immigration from nations
with citizens known to be engaged in terrorist activities. We should remove all
Muslim non-citizens currently in the West. We should also change our laws to
ensure that Muslim citizens who advocate sharia, preach Jihad, the inequality of
“infidels” and of women should have their citizenship revoked and be deported
back to their country of origin.
We need to create an environment where the practice of
Islam is made difficult. Muslim citizens should be forced to either accept our
secular ways or leave if they desire sharia. Much of this can be done in a
non-discriminatory way, by simply refusing to allow special pleading to Muslims.
Do not allow the Islamic public call to prayer as it is offensive to other
faiths. All children, boys and girls should take part in all sporting and social
activities of the school and the community. The veil should be banned in all
public institutions, thus also contributing to breaking the traditional
subjugation of women. Companies and public buildings should not be forced to
build prayer rooms for Muslims. Enact laws to eliminate the abuse of family
reunification laws. Do not permit major investments by Muslims in Western media
or universities.
Right now, Muslims can enjoy the best of both worlds:
Following medieval religious laws while enjoying the fruits of 21st century
civilisation. We need to drive home the utter failure of the Islamic model by
making sure that Muslims should no longer able to count on permanent Western or
infidel aid in their overpopulated, self-primitivised states, whose very
unviability they are prevented from recognising by this constant infusion of
aid.
I’m advocating isolating the Islamic world, not the West.
Even if we cannot allow all non-Muslims to freely settle in our lands, this does
not mean that they have to be our enemies. Jihad is being waged against the
entire non-Muslim world, not just the West. We should stop trying to “win the
hearts and minds” of Muslims and start reaching out to non-Muslims.
For Europe, the most important thing to do right now is
to dismantle the European Union in its present form, and regain national control
over our borders and our legislation. The EU is so deeply flawed as an
organisation, and so heavily infiltrated by Eurabian and pro-Islamic thinking
that it simply cannot be reformed. And let’s end the stupid support for the
Palestinians that the Eurabians have encouraged, and start supporting our
cultural cousin, Israel.
Why the Future May Not Belong to Islam[7]
Seaborne believes that many people are underestimating
the strength of Islam. Perhaps, but some observers, including Mark Steyn and Mr.
Seaborne himself, may be overestimating it. They overlook the fact that Islam
has many weaknesses, too. Don’t underestimate your enemy. Muslims should be
credited for making clever use of our weaknesses, but this “we’re all doomed and
have already lost” theme is overblown.
We should implement a policy of containment of the
Islamic world. I’m not saying that containment is all that we will ever need to
do, but it is the very minimum that is acceptable. Perhaps the spread of nuclear
weapons technology, the darkest side of globalisation, will trigger a
large-scale war with the Islamic world at some point. The only way to avoid this
is to take steps, including military ones, to deprive Muslims of such
technology.
We should restrain their ability to hurt us physically.
We can’t prevent it completely, but we should limit it as much as possible.
Muslims try to wear us down through terrorism. They should be worn down through
mockery and criticism. We should also make clear that for every Islamic terror
attack we will increase these efforts, which Muslims fear more than our weapons.
It’s the new balance of terror.
Dr Koenraad Elst, one of Belgium’s best orientalists,
thinks “Islam is in decline, despite its impressive demographic and military
surge” — which according to Dr Elst is merely a “last upheaval.” He
acknowledges, however, that this decline can take some time (at least in terms
of the individual human life span) and that it is possible that Islam will
succeed in becoming the majority religion in Europe before collapsing.
Dalrymple is probably correct when he says that Islam is
an “all or nothing” religion which cannot be secularised. The future may not
belong to Islam, as Mark Steyn suggests. It is conceivable that Islam in some
generations will cease to be a global force of any significance, but in the
meantime it will be a constant source of danger to its neighbours, from Europe
through India to Southeast Asia. The good news is that Islam may not be able to
achieve the world dominance it desires. The bad news is that it may be able to
achieve a world war. We can only cage it as much as possible and try to prevent
this from happening.
Farewell to the United Nations?[8]
Historian David Littman is a representative to the United
Nations (Geneva) of the Association for World Education. He has spent years
tracking the rise of Islamic influence at the UN. According to him, “In recent
years, representatives of some Muslim states have demanded, and often received,
special treatment at the United Nations.” “As a result, non-diplomatic terms
such as ‘blasphemy’ and ‘defamation of Islam’ have seeped into the United
Nations system, leading to a situation in which non-Muslim governments accept
certain rules of conduct in conformity with Islamic law (the Shari’a) and
acquiesce to a self-imposed silence regarding topics touching on Islam.”
I do not have all the answers to how such a post-UN world
will be like. The most important principle at this point is to isolate and
contain the Islamic world. We simply cannot allow our enemies to have direct
influence over our policies, which they partly do have through the UN. Is it
unrealistic to talk about the collapse of the EU and the UN? I don’t know. The
UN was created in the aftermath of WW2. It survived the Cold War, but now we are
rapidly entering into a new world war. My bet is that we will see huge changes
in world affairs in the near future, at least as large as those which laid the
foundations for the UN to begin with. Whatever usefulness the UN may have had
was lost decades ago. It is today of little use to us, but of significant use to
our enemies. The time has come to say farewell to the United Nations.

Recommendations for the West - 2
By Fjordman
The West at the beginning of the 21st century suffers from a lack of cultural
confidence, and is in some ways engaged in an internal struggle over the very
meaning of Western civilisation. This ideological “war within the West” has
helped paved the way for the physical “war against the West” that is waged by
Muslim Jihadists, who quite correctly view our creed of multiculturalism and our
acceptance of Muslim immigration as signs of weakness and that the West has lost
contact with its civilisational roots.
Perhaps we will need to resolve the war within the West before we can win the
war against the West. When Westerners such as Polish king Jan III Sobieski led
their troops to victory over the Turks in the 1683 Battle of Vienna, they fought
for a number of reasons: Their country, their culture and their religion, among
other things. People don’t just need to live, they need something to live for,
and fight for. We are against Islam. What are we for?
I would suggest that one thing we should fight for is national sovereignty and
the right to preserve our own culture and pass it on to future generations. We
are fighting for the right to define our own laws and national policies, not to
be held hostage by Leftist Utopians, unaccountable NGOs, transnational
progressives or self-appointed guardians of the truth.
Multiculturalism is wrong because not all cultures are equal. However, it is
also championed by groups with a hidden agenda. Multiculturalism serves as a
tool for ruling elites to fool people, to keep them from knowing that they have
lost, or deliberately vacated, control over national borders. Leftists who
dislike Western civilisation use multiculturalism to undermine it, a hate
ideology disguised as tolerance. Multiculturalism equals the unilateral
destruction of Western culture, the only unilateral action the West is allowed
to take, according to some.
There are also some libertarian right-wingers and Big Business supporters who
see man only as the sum of his economic functions, as cheap labour and
consumers, homo economicus. They believe not only in free markets but in free
migration, and tend to downplay the impact of culture. They are Islam’s useful
idiots in the fight against the West.
Although Leftists tend to be more aggressive, perhaps the dividing line in the
internal struggle in the West is less between Left and Right, and more between
those who value national sovereignty and Western culture and those who do not.
End the nonsense of “celebrating our differences.” We should be celebrating our
sameness and what binds us together. We should clean up our history books and
school curricula, which have been infected with anti-Western sentiments.
Upholding national borders has become more important in the age of
globalisation, terrorism and mass-migration, not less. No nation regardless of
political system can survive the loss of its territorial integrity, but
democratic states especially so. Those who don’t want to uphold national borders
are actually tearing down the very foundations of our democratic system, which
is based on nation states. The fight for national sovereignty is thus the fight
for democracy itself, since nobody has so far made any convincing model of a
supranational democracy.
We now have a political class who spend much of their time travelling around the
world. They no longer feel as attached to the people they are supposed to
represent as they did in the past. This is perhaps inevitable, but it feeds a
growing sense of detachment between ordinary people and their supposed leaders.
We need to remind our political leaders that we pay national taxes because they
are supposed to uphold our national borders. If they can’t do so, the social
contract is breached, and we should no longer be required to pay our taxes.
National taxes, national borders could become a new rallying cry.
The West is declining as a percentage of world population, and in danger of
being overwhelmed by immigration from poorer countries with booming populations.
Westerners need to adjust our self-image to being less dominant in the 21st
century. As such, we also need to ditch Messianic altruism: The West must first
of all save itself. We have no obligation to “save” the Islamic world, and do
not have the financial strength nor the demographic numbers to do so even if we
wanted to. We are not all-powerful and are not in the position to help all of
the Third World out of poverty, certainly not by allowing all of them to move
here.
We should take a break from massive immigration, also non-Muslim immigration,
for at least a generation, in order to absorb and assimilate the persons we
already have in our countries. The West is becoming so overwhelmed by
immigration that this may trigger civil wars in several Western nations in the
near future. We already have massive Third World ghettos in our major cities.
Future immigration needs to be more strictly controlled and ONLY non-Muslim.
This immigration break should be used to demonstrate clearly that the West will
no longer serve as the dumping ground for excess population growth in other
countries. We have cultures and countries that we’d like to preserve, too, and
cannot and should not be expected to accept unlimited number of migrants from
other countries. But above all, the West, and indeed the non-Muslim world,
should make our countries Islam-unfriendly and implement a policy of containment
of Dar al-Islam. This is the most civilised thing we can do in order to save
ourselves, but also to limit the loss of life among both Muslims and
non-Muslims.
The best way to deal with the Islamic world is to have as little to do with it
as possible. We should ban Muslim immigration. This could be done in creative
and indirect ways, such as banning immigration from nations with citizens known
to be engaged in terrorist activities. We should remove all Muslim non-citizens
currently in the West. We should also change our laws to ensure that Muslim
citizens who advocate sharia, preach Jihad, the inequality of “infidels” and of
women should have their citizenship revoked and be deported back to their
country of origin.
We need to create an environment where the practice of Islam is made difficult.
Muslim citizens should be forced to either accept our secular ways or leave if
they desire sharia. Much of this can be done in a non-discriminatory way, by
simply refusing to allow special pleading to Muslims. Do not allow the Islamic
public call to prayer as it is offensive to other faiths. All children, boys and
girls should take part in all sporting and social activities of the school and
the community. The veil should be banned in all public institutions, thus also
contributing to breaking the traditional subjugation of women. Companies and
public buildings should not be forced to build prayer rooms for Muslims. Enact
laws to eliminate the abuse of family reunification laws. Do not permit major
investments by Muslims in Western media or universities.
As columnist Diana West of the Washington Times points out, we should shift from
a pro-democracy offensive to an anti-sharia defensive. Calling this the War on
Terror was a mistake. Baron Bodissey of the Gates of Vienna blog suggests the
slogan “Take Back the Culture,” thus focusing on our internal struggle for
Western culture. Another possibility is “War against Apartheid.” Given sharia’s
inequality between men and women, Muslims and non-Muslims, it is de facto a
religious apartheid system. Calling this struggle a self-defence against
apartheid would make it more difficult for Western Leftists to dismiss it.
People should be educated about the realities of Jihad and sharia. Educating
non-Muslims about Islam is probably more important than educating Muslims, but
we should do both. Authorities or groups of dedicated individuals should engage
in efforts to explain the real nature of Islam, emphasising the division that
Islam teaches between Believer and Infidel, the permanent state of war between
Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb and the uses of taqiyya and kitman as religious
deception.
As Hugh Fitzgerald of Jihad Watch says, we should explain why Islam encourages
despotism (because allegiance is owed the ruler as long as he is a Muslim),
economic paralysis, intellectual failure (the cult of authority, the hostility
to free and skeptical inquiry) in Islamic countries. Let Muslims themselves
begin slowly to understand that all of their political, economic, social,
intellectual, and moral failures are a result of Islamic teachings.
Fitzgerald also suggests exploiting the many fissures within the Islamic world:
Divide and conquer. Divide and demoralise. Islam has universalist claims but it
talks about Arabs as the “best of peoples,” and has been a vehicle for Arab
supremacy, to promote Arab conquest of wealthier non-Arab populations. In
addition to divisions between Arabs and non-Arab Muslims, we have the sectarian
divide between Shias and Sunnis, and the economic division between the
fabulously rich oil-and-natural-gas Arab states and the poor Muslim countries.
Both the sectarian and economic divisions within Islam are best exploited by
Infidels doing nothing. If the Western world stops giving Egypt, Pakistan,
Jordan, and the Palestinians “aid,” which has in reality become a disguised form
of Jizyah, this will clear the psychological air. And it will force the poorer
Arabs and other Muslims to go to the rich Arabs for support.
Right now, Muslims can enjoy the best of both worlds: Following medieval
religious laws while enjoying the fruits of 21st century civilisation. We need
to drive home the utter failure of the Islamic model by making sure that Muslims
should no longer able to count on permanent Western or infidel aid in their
overpopulated, self-primitivised states, whose very unviability they are
prevented from recognising by this constant infusion of aid.
We also need to deprive Arabs and Muslims as much as possible of Western Jizya
in other forms, which means ending foreign aid, but also institute a Manhattan
Project for alternative sources of energy, in order to become independent of
Arab oil.
And as Mr. Fitzgerald asks: “What would the rich Arabs do if the Western world
decided to seize their property in the West as the assets of enemy aliens, just
as was done to the property owned not only by the German government, but by
individual Germans, during World War II? And what would they do if they were to
be permanently deprived of easy access to Western medical care?”
We also need to reject the “You turn into what you fight” argument. The British,
the Americans and the Canadians didn’t become Nazis while fighting Nazi Germany,
did they? The truth is, we will become like Muslims if we don’t fight them and
keep them out of our countries, since they will subdue us and Islamise us by
force. The West isn’t feared because we are “oppressors,” we are despised
because we are perceived as being decadent and weak.
Yes, we should implement a policy of containment of the Islamic world, but for
this to work we will sometimes have to take military action to crush Arab
pretensions to grandeur. The Buddhists of Central Asia undoubtedly held the
“moral high ground” in relations to Muslims. They are all dead now. At the very
least, we must be prepared to back up our ideological defences with force on
certain occasions. Holding a higher moral standard isn’t going to defeat an
Iranian President with nukes, threatening another Holocaust.
Writer Raymond Kraft explains Western softness very well: The Islamic movement
“has turned the civility of the United States and Europe into a weapon and
turned it against us. It has weaponised niceness, it has weaponised compassion,
it has weaponised the fundamental decency of Western Civilisation. We have
become too civilised to defeat our enemies, perhaps too civilised to survive.”
Kraft thinks we are naïve in believing that the deeds of Hezbollah, Hamas, Al
Qaeda, the whole Islamic Jihad, are done by a bunch of “non-state actors.” In
real life they’re agents of nation states (Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, sometimes
Russia or China) who want to weaken the West by a proxy war.
The Chinese and the Russians do not want to fight an open war with the
Americans, but they would be hugely pleased to see the United States cut down to
size a bit, until it is about as much a threat to anybody as the European Union
is now, “so the Chinese and Russians can run the global show as they see fit,
ration the oil, and pocket the profits.”
There is, however, a big difference: The Islamic world always has been our enemy
and always will be. China and Russia do not have to be our enemies, although our
relations will be complicated because of their size and their own Great Power
ambitions. We can, at best, persuade them that directly opposing us isn’t going
to pay off.
I have heard several objections to the containment option. Some claim that it is
too harsh and thus won’t be implemented; others say that it is insufficient and
won’t work in the long run.
It’s true that in the current political situation, expulsion of
sharia-sponsoring Muslims isn’t going to happen. But the current political
situation isn’t going to last.
We will get civil wars in several Western countries because of this immigration,
and given the increasing clashes with Muslim immigrants in France, in England
and in other countries one could argue that we are seeing early signs of this
already now. This will finally demonstrate how serious the situation is, and
force other Western nations to ban Muslim immigration and pressure Muslim
citizens to assimilate or leave.
I have heard comments that it isn’t practically doable to contain the Islamic
world behind some artificial Maginot Line. When the Mongols could simply go
around the Great Wall of China during the Middle Ages, it will be impossible to
contain anybody in the 21st century with modern communication technology.
I understand this objection. No, it won’t be easy, but we have to at least try.
Containment is the very minimum that is acceptable. Perhaps the spread of
nuclear technology will indeed trigger a large-scale war with the Islamic world
at some point. The only way to avoid this is to take steps, including military
ones, to deprive Muslims of such technology. The Jihad is being waged with
military, political, demographic and diplomatic means. The defence against Jihad
has to be equally diverse.
I have also been criticised because my talk about containment and the need to
limit even non-Muslim immigration smacks of the siege mentality of a friendless
West. First of all, the policy of stricter immigration control isn’t based on
isolationism, it’s based on realism. We’re in the middle of the largest
population boom and the largest migration waves in human history. The simple
fact is that far more people want to live in the West than we can possibly let
in.
Technological globalisation has made it easier for people to travel to other
countries, but also easier for them to stay in touch with their original
homeland as if they never left. We have to deal with this fact by slowing the
immigration rates to assimilation levels, or our societies, and certainly our
democratic system, will slowly break down.
Moreover, I’m advocating isolating the Islamic world, not the West. Even if we
cannot allow all non-Muslims to freely settle in our lands, this does not mean
that they have to be our enemies. Jihad is being waged against the entire
non-Muslim world, not just the West. We should stop trying to “win the hearts
and minds” of Muslims and start reaching out to non-Muslims.
The United Nations is heavily infiltrated by Islamic groups. We should starve it
for funds and ridicule it at any given opportunity. As an alternative to the UN,
we could create an organisation where only democratic states could become
members. Another possibility is an expansion of NATO. The most important
principle at this point is to contain the Islamic world. We simply cannot allow
our enemies to have influence over our policies, which they partly do through
the UN.
What the West should do is to enter into strategic alliances with non-Western
states that share some of our political ideals and goals. This includes
non-Muslim nations such as Japan and India, perhaps also Thailand, the
Philippines and others. We will, however, still need some understanding with
Russia and China and some mechanism for consultations with both. Perhaps,
instead of any new and formalised organisation, the most influential countries
will simply form ad hoc alliances to deal with issues as they arise.
The situation in the Old West in Europe is right now more serious than in the
New West, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
For Europe, the most important thing to do right now is to dismantle the
European Union in its present form, and regain national control over our borders
and our legislation. The EU is so deeply flawed as an organisation, and so
heavily infiltrated by Eurabian and pro-Islamic thinking that it simply cannot
be reformed. And let’s end the stupid support for the Palestinians that the
Eurabians have encouraged, and start supporting our cultural cousin, Israel.
Europeans also need to ditch the welfare state, which is probably doomed anyway.
The welfare state wasn’t all bad, but the welfare state economies cannot compete
in a world of billions of capitalists in low-cost countries. Besides, the
welfare state creates a false sense of security in a dog-eat-dog world, and it
breeds a passivity that is very dangerous in the fight against Jihad. It may
also indirectly contribute to the low birth rates in many European countries.
We should use the money instead to strengthen our border controls and rebuild
credible militaries. Western Europeans have lived under Pax Americana for so
long that we have forgotten how to defend ourselves. This needs to change, and
soon.
Europeans should adopt legislation similar to the First Amendment in the
American Constitution, securing the right to free speech. The reason why
European authorities are becoming increasingly totalitarian in their censorship
efforts is to conceal the fact that they are no longer willing or able to uphold
even the most basic security of their citizenry, far less our national borders.
Europe needs free speech more than ever.
We need to strike a balance between defeatism and denial. Yes, the situation in
Europe is now very serious, but it is not totally lost. Not yet. The Danish
Cartoon Jihad has demonstrated that their Islamic arrogance encourages Muslims
to become too aggressive, too early, and thus overplay their hand. Our main
problem is ourselves. Europe’s elites have lost contact with the people, and the
people have lost contact with reality. Western Europe is now a collection of
several layers of different Utopias: multiculturalism, welfarism, radical
feminism and transnationalism that will all soon come crashing down. The
important question is how we’re going to deal with this.
Yes, we have been betrayed by our own leaders, but that’s still only part of the
problem. People tend to get the governments they deserve. Maybe we get weak
leaders because we are weak, or because they can exploit weaknesses in our
mentality to get us where they want to; above all anti-Americanism,
anti-Semitism, our excessive desire for consensus and suppression of dissent,
the anti-individualistic legacy from Socialism and the passivity bred by welfare
state bureaucracy. Muslims are stuck with their problems and their corrupt
leaders and blame everybody else for their own failures because they can never
admit they are caused by deep flaws in their culture. We shouldn’t make the same
mistake. Europeans export wine; Arabs export whine. That’s the way it should be.
It is highly likely that the coming generation will determine whether Europe
will continue to exist as a Western cultural entity. However, just as Islam
isn’t the cause of Europe’s weakness but rather a secondary infection, it is
conceivable that the Islamic threat could have the unforeseen and ironic effect
of saving Europe from herself. Europe will bleed but she won’t die.
As the quote goes in the Hollywood classic “The Third Man”:
”…in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and
bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the
Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love — they had 500 years of
democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.”
Some would say that’s a tad unfair to the Swiss. Switzerland has been at the
forefront of many technological developments for a long time, and we could
probably learn from their example with frequent referendums and direct
democracy. But it’s true that European renewals can be messy stuff.
Muslims always claim that Islamic influences triggered the Renaissance. That’s
not true. But maybe it will be this time. Perhaps this life-and-death struggle
with Islam is precisely the slap in the face that we need to regroup and
revitalise our civilisation. Is there still enough strength left in Europe to
repel an Islamic invasion once more? If so, Muslims could indeed be responsible
for triggering a Western Renaissance, the Second Renaissance.
It remains to be seen whether this will actually happen, or whether it is
wishful thinking. Europe will unfortunately experience some warfare either way.
Will this produce a Michelangelo or a Muhammad? Only time will tell.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in Strasbourg is an international
judicial body established in 1950 to monitor respect of human rights by states.
This court has however to a larger degree developed into an unrecognizable beast
whose main task is to deconstruct European traditions, culture and identity
because it is considered offensive towards all non-Europeans and especially
Muslims. Since we still want to preserve our culture and heritage I see no other
alternative than to reform (limiting the current mandate considerably, or
replace the cultural Marxist judges with cultural conservative ones) or
completely eliminate the court altogether. Until this is done it should not
apply in any way or form. The court rulings and principles are very often
“ordered” by cultural Marxists to either be used against cultural conservatives
directly or to systematically and gradually destroy European culture,
traditions, our identities and to limit the sovereignty of nation states.
One example is the crucifix case in Italy in 2009. They ordered all crosses to
be removed from all public class rooms because the ECtHR had concluded that the
cross was an offensive symbol. But suddenly they meet resistance. An
overwhelming majority in Italy opposed this ruling. Instead, many leaders
ordered more crosses to be distributed and placed on government offices. Not
because they had suddenly become more religious but because the cross is the
most important cultural and historical symbol. The cross is Europe.
What this case and similar cases show is that the ECtHR have become an
institution designed to protect and serve the foundations of European political
correctness/cultural Marxism/multiculturalism. The ECtHR in Strasbourg is
therefore a racist and genocidal political entity that only serves to create and
offer ideological justification to given multicultural doctrines under
camouflage of being “humanistic”. It is no more than a tool, an ideological
sledge hammer used by cultural Marxists.
As of now the ECtHR in Strasbourg propagates multiculturalism and the
deconstruction of European cultures and identities. It is therefore an
anti-European political hate-entity that seeks to undermine the very people who
created it. The ECtHR in Strasbourg must be reformed. Until it is, it should be
considered as a hostile political entity propagating cultural Marxism.
By Fjordman
I once had the pleasure of watching the absurdist theatre play called "Waiting
for Godot," by Samuel Beckett. Two men called Vladimir and Estragon sit
around waiting for a man named Godot. Mr. Godot never shows up, of course. It is
years ago now, but for some reason, I remembered it recently when watching the
political situation in Europe.
During the height of the Muhammad cartoons crisis, Fjordman was among the
minority who thought this was good news for Europe and the West. Although it may
sound absurd to Americans, those rather innocent cartoons may have done more to
open the eyes of Europeans to the Islamic threat than the terror attacks of
9/11, the London and Madrid bombings combined. People who can burn down
embassies because of something so silly quite simply don't have anything at all
in common with us, and cannot function in our democratic societies. Muslims may
have pushed too far, too early, and thus jolted some life back into even the
near-comatose continent of Europe. I see some signs that this interpretation may
have been correct, and that the tide is indeed changing. Recent opinion polls
indicate that there is now a critical mass of ordinary Europeans who no longer
buy the brainwashing about Islam being a peaceful religion.
In Germany, according to a study[1]
commissioned by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper, 56 percent of
Germans said they believed a "clash of cultures" already existed. 71 percent
said they believed Islam to be "intolerant," some 91 per cent said they
associated Islam with oppression of women. Asked if there should be a ban on the
building of mosques in Germany as long as the building of churches in some
Islamic states is forbidden, 56 per cent agreed. There was even considerable
backing for ending Germany's constitutional right of freedom of religion with
regard to Islam. Asked if strict limits should be imposed on the practice of
Islam in Germany to protect the country, 40 per cent said they would support
such moves. In the Netherlands[2], 63
per cent of respondents thought Islam was incompatible with modern European
life. Even in Sweden, the purgatory of Political Correctness, opinion polls have
revealed that two out of three Swedes[3]
doubt whether Islam can be combined with[4]
Swedish society. Recently, I have also for the first time seen visible cracks in
the wall of censorship on public debate in Sweden. Change is in the air, all
over Europe.
Europeans now gradually start to awaken from the spell of multiculturalism,
Political Correctness and Muslim immigration, but they still don't know how deep
the rabbit hole goes. Most of them still haven't heard of Eurabia, or the fact
that the European Union, including many of their own, entrusted representatives,
have actively encouraged massive Muslim immigration to the continent. Until they
do this, it will be more difficult to
bring down the EU, and that is absolutely necessary in my view for Europe to
prevail from this[5]. No, the EU isn't the only problem Europe has, but it
is by far the worst, and we don't have even a theoretical chance of fixing our
other problems as long as the EU is in charge. It needs to be removed
completely. The hour is late. Is it too late? Even if it's not too late,
whatever can be done needs to be done soon.
So, what to do next? What are we waiting for? For some decent leader to step
forward, perhaps? Well, where is he, or she? During the appeasement of the late
1930s, Churchill was already there, ready to step in when called for. The
problem is, I just can't see anyone of his stature now. Tony Blair? Apart from
the Iraq war, absolutely everything he has done related to Islam, both in the UK
and abroad, has been wrong. In some ways, he is a worse appeaser than
Chamberlain ever was. I doubt Gordon Brown will be better. Chirac is a corrupt
crook, de Villepain is a pompous, Eurabian clown with a Napoleon complex,
Sarkozy isn't too bad, but not good enough, and France is in too much trouble of
her own to do anything for the rest of Europe. Besides, it was France who
created Eurabia in the first place. Count them out. Spain has forgotten
everything of her past and has Zapatero, an appeasing Socialist weasel, as PM,
brought to power by al-Qaeda. Italy recently ousted their right-wing government
in favor of a Leftist, super-Eurocrat, Romano Prodi, as PM, and Communist
ministers who want open doors for Muslims from North Africa to enter. Which
actually leaves Germany's Angela Merkel as the least bad leader among the larger
nations. But Ms. Merkel is no Thatcher, and certainly not a Churchill. Her
support for the awful EU Constitution should be enough to discount her as a
potential leader of a de-Eurabisation of Europe. The only Western European
leader in power with something resembling a spine is Anders Fogh Rasmussen in
Denmark, but Denmark is too small to lead this. I hope we are waiting for a
Churchill to step forward, but I sometimes fear we are waiting for Godot.
We complain about weak leaders, but maybe we keep producing weak leaders because
we, as a people, are weak? And if we finally find a Churchill, will the press
rip him apart for whatever flaw they can find? Could the real Churchill have
been elected today, or would the media eat him alive because of his heavy
drinking and replace him with a slick boy scout? And if a strong leader steps
forward, will he have a democratic mindset or will he have a darker agenda?
Churchill certainly understood Islam. In his book "The River War," written as
long ago as 1899, he wrote this about the followers of Muhammad:
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides
the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog,
there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many
countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods
of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the
Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and
refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan
law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a
child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until
the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems
may show splendid qualities - but the influence of the religion paralyses the
social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists
in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and
proselytising faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising
fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered
in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly
struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the
civilisation of ancient Rome."
Churchill's speeches were a great inspiration to the British during WW2, but
also promised that "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat."
Before the Battle of Britain, he delivered the immortal line, "We shall defend
our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall
fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." How would today's
decadent and pleasure-loving Westerners react to a similar speech? I think
Winston would have to re-write it to something along these lines: "We shall
defend our continent, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the ice cream
trucks, we shall fight on the cable TV cars, we shall fight in the Jacuzzis and
the spas, we shall fight in the nail salons; we shall never surrender."
In addition to just plain decadence, there is a widespread ideological feeling
in Europe that nothing is worth fighting for, certainly not through armed
struggle. There are no Great Truths, everything is equal. If we want to
understand where the notion of the futility of war in any situation entered the
European mind, we should read the poems of Wilfred Owen, another Briton with a
way of words. Maybe Europe's faith in itself died in Auschwitz, but it was
severely wounded some decades before, in the trenches of the First World War. It
was WW1 that radicalised Europe, triggered the Russian Revolution and the rise
of Soviet Communism, and it was WW1 that filled Germany, including a young
corporal named Adolf Hitler, with a desire for vengeance and much of the
ammunition they needed for their rise to power in the 1930s.
Wilfred Owen was a second lieutenant that participated in the Battle of the
Somme and was later sent to treatment for shell shock. His horrific poems about
gas warfare and life in the trenches have earned him the status as the leading
poet of WW1. Wilfred Owen was killed in action on 4th November 1918, only a week
before the end of the war. One of his most famous poems is "Anthem
for Doomed Youth[6]:"
What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
-Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells;
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,-
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
And bugles calling for them from sad shires.
What candles may be held to speed them all?
Not in the hands of boys but in their eyes
Shall shine the holy glimmers of good-byes.
The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall;
Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,
And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.
I can understand why Wilfred Owen felt that war was futile, rotting away in the
trenches for some cause he didn't even understand. But it isn't true that war is
worse than everything. Sharia is worse than war. I have heard claims that
European civilisation will not survive the century. A century is a very long
time, remember that. Would anybody (except Churchill) in 1906, when Europe
really was strong and powerful, have predicted that Europe would now be in the
process of being overpowered by Algerians and Pakistanis? Things change. They
can change for the worse, but they can also change for the better. If we do get
another world war, which appears increasingly likely, this could finish off what
remains of European civilisation for good. But it could also, theoretically,
have the opposite effect, where the shock waves could create a different kind of
Europe from the decadent, nihilistic Europe we see now. A Christian
revitalisation, for instance. Yes, this could happen. Stranger things have
happened before. Our ancestors, better men and women than us, held the line
against Islam for more than one thousand years, sacrificing their blood for the
continent. By doing so, they not only preserved the European heartland and thus
Western civilisation itself, but quite possibly the world in general from
unchallenged Islamic dominance. The stakes involved now are not less than they
were then, probably greater.
Some people claim that Europe isn't worth fighting for, and that too many people
here deserve what's coming. Yes, a significant number of them do. Yes, people
such as EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, with their Swiss bank accounts
and their good relationship with Saudi Arabia and the Arab League, not to
mention Valéry Giscard d'Estaing and his awful EU Constitution that will destroy
democracy for half a billion people, deserve everything we can heap upon them.
The problem is that the people who deserve most to be punished for this are the
ones least likely to pay the price. The creators of Eurabia will be the first to
flee the continent when the going gets tough, leaving those who have hardly
heard of Eurabia and never approved of its creation to fight.
Edmund Burke thought that if a society can be seen as a contract, we must
recognise that most parties to the contract are either dead or not yet born. I
like that idea, which means that when you fight for a country, you don't just
fight for the ones that are there now, but for those who lived there before and
for those who will live there in the future. If we don't want to fight for what
Europe is today then let us fight for what it once was, and maybe, just maybe,
for what it may become once more. There was real greatness in this continent
once. It seems a long time ago now, but maybe we can get there again. European
Parliament member Hannu Takkula[7] of
Finland has said that never before had the fate of Israel and Europe been so
inter-connected. "The same forces that hate Israel, also hate Europe," he said,
adding that Europe must remain true to its Judeo-Christian roots by supporting
Israel. The heritage of the Europe "was founded on three cities - Athens, Rome
and Jerusalem" - said Takkula. Muslims are openly bragging about how they will
soon conquer Rome, just as the did with Constantinople, the Eastern Rome, they
are putting Jerusalem under siege and they are hijacking the cultural heritage
of Athens by claiming that they "preserved it" and "passed it on" to the West.
It's time for us to reclaim our past and thus reclaim our future.
Fjordman has been accused of being a pessimist. I'm not sure whether I am more
pessimistic than others. There are many people who think Europe is already lost.
I happen to be among the ones who have stated that this is only one of several
possible outcomes. Europe is now at one of those famous crossroads where the
course of history could go either way. Given the weakness of Europe and the
rapid expansion of Islam, it would be foolish to discount the possibility that
Muslims could win this. However, I happen to think that another possibility is
that Islam not only will lose the battle for Europe, but could become destroyed
as a global force during this century. Maybe in some strange way, Europe needs
to go through a period of colonisation and de-colonisation herself, to get rid
of her post-colonial guilt complex?
This war by Islam against Europe, the West and indeed mankind has been going on
for more than 1300 years. This is the third major Jihad, the third Islamic
attempt to subdue the heartland of the West. Although I cannot prove this, I
have a very strong feeling that this will also be the last attempt. There will
be no fourth Jihad. Either Muslims will win this time, or Islam itself will be
handed a defeat and a blow so powerful that it may never recover from it. This
is perhaps the longest, continuous war in human history. And it's about to be
decided within the coming decades. I'm not sure how all of this will play out.
What I do know is that it could all be decided on my watch, and I don't want to
be the weak link in something my ancestors kept intact for 1300 years.
To quote Churchill: "This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the
end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Let us hope someone of his
stature will soon appear. He will be needed.

“Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.”
Robert Frost
By Fjordman
I have written several essays before on the damaging effects of Western
feminism. The massive wave of violence and especially rapes in Western cities
now is a form of warfare against whites, and it’s about time it is recognised as
such. As this post from Gallia Watch[1] puts it:
As in war, the winners seize the indigenous women all the while protecting their
own. The whole rhetoric that aims to debase the European woman or France (‘I
screw France like a whore’ says rap group Sniper) is a part of the feminisation
of Europeans, of the idea that Europe is a land to be conquered, a habitat open
to all forms of pillage. Are not the notorious ‘gang rapes’ another example of
collective violence to European women, just as Russian soldiers did when they
seized German women in a devastated Berlin in 1945. It all holds together. A
tribe that does not protect its women is behaving as if they have already lost
the war. Many of us don’t know this. But our enemies do.
As a Western man, I would be tempted to say that Western women have to some
extent brought this upon themselves. They have been waging an ideological,
psychological and economic war against European men for several generations now,
believing that this would make you “free.” The actual result is that you have
less freedom of movement and security than ever, as a direct result of the
immigrant policies supported by you and your buddies.
In the big scheme of things, the truth is that European men have treated women
with greater respect than the men of almost any other major civilisation on
earth. And I don’t mean just in the modern age, I mean for many centuries. Yet
we are the one group of men who are most demonised and attacked, whereas
non-white men get treated with much greater respect. What white men see from
this is that white Western women prefer men who treat them like crap, and
disrespect men who treat them with respect. This isn’t exactly a smart way to
behave if you want to be treated with dignity.
The truth is that any nation is always protected from external aggression by the
men. The women can play a supporting role in this, but never more than that. For
all the talk about “girl power” and “women kicking ass” which you see on movies
these days, if the men of your “tribe” are too weak or demoralised to protect
you, you will be enslaved and crushed by the men from other “tribes” before you
can say “Vagina Monologues”. Which means that if you break down men’s
masculinity, their willingness and ability to defend themselves and their
families, you destroy the country. That’s exactly what Western women have done
for the last forty years. So why are you surprised about the results? As you
said, you can’t fool Mother Nature. Well, you have tried to fool her for a long
time, and you are now paying the price for this.
Western women have been subjected to systematic Marxist
indoctrination meant to turn you into a weapon of mass destruction against your
own civilisation, a strategy that has been remarkably successful. Here is a
quote from Robert Spencer’s book Religion of Peace?:
Attacks on Christian history and doctrine are an integral part of a larger
effort to instill a sense of cultural shame in even non-Christian European and
American youth — a shame that militates against their thinking the West is even
worth defending. A white American student, ‘Rachel,’ unwittingly summed up this
attitude when she told American Indian professor Dr. David Yeagley in 2001:
‘Look, Dr. Yeagley, I don’t see anything about my culture to be proud of. It’s
all nothing. My race is just nothing… Look at your culture. Look at American
Indian tradition. Now I think that’s really great. You have something to be
proud of. My culture is nothing.’ Yeagley mused: ‘The Cheyenne people have a
saying: A nation is never conquered until the hearts of its women are on the
ground…When Rachel denounced her people, she did it with the serene
self-confidence of a High Priestess reciting a liturgy. She said it without fear
of criticism or censure. And she received none. The other students listened in
silence, their eyes moving timidly back and forth between me and Rachel, as if
unsure which of us constituted a higher authority… Who had conquered Rachel’s
people? What had led her to disrespect them? Why did she behave like a woman of
a defeated tribe?’
Let me add a quote from the book The
Suicide of Reason: Radical Islam's Threat to the West, by Lee Harris:
"Muslims are doing everything in their power to encourage their alpha boys to be
tough, aggressive, and ruthless. We teach our boys to be good students, to aim
at getting good jobs with large, safe corporations, to plan prudently for their
retirement. They want their boys to become holy warriors. We are proud if our
sons get into a good college; they are proud if their sons die as martyrs. To
rid your society of high-testosterone alpha males may bring peace and quiet; but
if you have an enemy that is building up an army of alpha boys trained to hate
you fanatically and who have vowed to destroy you, you will be committing
suicide. It may take years or decades before you realise what you have done, but
by that time it will be far too late to reverse your course. The end of
testosterone in the West alone will not culminate in the end of history, but it
may well culminate in the end of the West."

Some commentators like to point out that many of the most passionate and bravest
defenders of the West are women, citing Italian writer Oriana Fallaci[1] and
others[2] as examples. But women like Ms. Fallaci, brave as they might be, are
not representative of Western women. If you look closely, you will notice that,
on average, Western women are actually more supportive of multiculturalism and
massive immigration than are Western men.
I got many comments[3] on my posts about Muslim anti-female violence in
Scandinavia. Several of my readers asked what Scandinavian men are doing about
this. What happened to those Vikings, anyway? Did they drink too much mead in
Valhalla? Despite the romantic mystique surrounding them today, the Vikings were
for the most part savage barbarians. However, I doubt they would have looked the
other way while their daughters were harassed by Muslims. In some ways, this
makes present-day Scandinavians worse barbarians than the Vikings ever were.
One of the reasons for this lack of response is a deliberate and pervasive
censorship in the mainstream media, to conceal the full scale of the problem
from the general public. However, I suspect that the most important reason has
to do with the extreme anti-masculine strand of feminism that has permeated
Scandinavia for decades. The male protective instinct doesn’t take action
because Scandinavian women have worked tirelessly to eradicate it, together with
everything else that smacks of traditional masculinity. Because of this,
feminism has greatly weakened Scandinavia, and perhaps Western civilisation as
whole.
The only major political party in Norway that has voiced any serious opposition
to the madness of Muslim immigration is the rightwing Progress Party. This is a
party which receives about two thirds or even 70% male votes. At the opposite
end of the scale we have the Socialist Left party, with two thirds or 70% female
votes. The parties most critical of the current immigration are typically male
parties, while those who praise the Multicultural society are dominated by
feminists. And across the Atlantic, if only American women voted, the US
President during 9/11 would be called Al Gore, not George Bush.
The standard explanation in my country for this gender gap in voting patterns is
that men are more “xenophobic and selfish” than women, who are more open-minded
and possess a greater ability to show solidarity with outsiders. That’s one
possibility. Another one is that men traditionally have had the responsibility
for protecting the “tribe” and spotting an enemy, a necessity in a dog-eat-dog
world. Women are more naïve, and less willing to rationally think through the
long-term consequences of avoiding confrontation or dealing with unpleasant
realities now.
Didn’t feminists always claim that the world would be a better place with women
in the driver’s seat, because they wouldn’t sacrifice their own children? Well,
isn’t that exactly what they are doing now? Smiling and voting for parties that
keep the doors open to Muslim immigration, the same Muslims who will be
attacking their children tomorrow?
Another possibility is that Western feminists fail to confront Muslim
immigration for ideological reasons. Many of them are silent on Islamic
oppression of women because they have also embraced “Third-Worldism” and
anti-Western sentiments. I see some evidence in support of this thesis.
American writer Phyllis Chesler has sharply criticised her sisters in books such
as The Death of Feminism. She feels that too many feminists have abandoned their
commitment to freedom and “become cowardly herd animals and grim totalitarian
thinkers,” thus failing to confront Islamic terrorism. She paints a portrait of
current U.S. University campuses as steeped in “a new and diabolical
McCarthyism” spearheaded by leftist rhetoric.
Chesler has a point. Judging from the rhetoric of many feminists, all the
oppression in the world comes from Western men, who are oppressing both women
and non-Western men. Muslim immigrants are “fellow victims” of this bias. At
best, they may be patriarchal pigs, but no worse than Western men. Many Western
universities have courses filled with hate against men that would be unthinkable
the other way around. That’s why Scandinavian feminists don’t call for
Scandinavian men to show a more traditional masculinity and protect them against
aggression from Muslim men. Most Norwegian feminists are also passionate
anti-racists who will oppose any steps to limit Muslim immigration as “racism
and xenophobia.”
Totalitarian feminists in Norway are threatening to shut down private companies
that refuse to recruit at least 40 percent women to their boards[4] by 2007, a
Soviet-style regulation of the economy in the name of gender equality. I have
read comments from Socialist politicians and leftist commentators in certain
newspapers, such as the pro-Multicultural and feminist — critics would say
Female Supremacist — newspaper Dagbladet, arguing that we should have quotas for
Muslim immigrants, too.
What started out as radical feminism has thus gradually become egalitarianism,
the fight against “discrimination” of any kind, the idea that all groups of
people should have an equal share of everything and that it is the state’s
responsibility to ensure that this takes place. A prime example of this is
Norway’s Ombud for Gender Equality, which in 2006 became The Equality and
Anti-discrimination Ombud[5]. The Ombud’s duties are “to promote equality and
combat discrimination on the basis of gender, ethnic origin, sexual orientation,
disability and age.”
Western feminists have cultivated a culture of victimhood in the West, where you
gain political power through your status in the victim hierarchy. In many ways,
this is what Political Correctness is all about. They have also demanded, and
largely got, a re-writing of the history books to address an alleged historic
bias; their world view has entered the school curriculum, gained a virtual
hegemony in the media and managed to portray their critics as “bigots.” They
have even succeeded in changing the very language we use, to make it less
offensive. Radical feminists are the vanguard of PC.
When Muslims, who above all else like to present themselves as victims, enter
Western nations, they find that much of their work has already been done for
them. They can use a pre-established tradition of claiming to be victims,
demanding state intervention and maybe quotas to address this, as well as a
complete re-writing of history and public campaigns against bigotry and hate
speech. Western feminists have thus paved the way for the forces that will
dismantle Western feminism, and end up in bed, sometimes quite literally, with
the people who want to enslave them.
Swedish Marxist politician Gudrun Schyman has suggested a bill[6] that would
collectively tax Swedish men for violence against women. In a 2002 speech, the
same Schyman famously posited that Swedish men were just like the Taliban. A
male columnist in newspaper Aftonbladet responded by saying that Schyman was
right[7]: All men are like the Taliban.
The irony is that in an Islamic state similar to the one the Taliban established
in Afghanistan, certain groups of people, in this case non-Muslims, pay a
special punishment tax simply because of who they are, not because of what they
earn. Radical feminists such as Ms. Schyman are thus closer to the Taliban than
Western men, although I’m pretty sure that irony would be completely missed on
them.
Schyman’s battle cry is “Death to the nuclear family!” I have heard the same
slogan repeated by young Norwegian feminists in recent years. Schyman seethed
that today’s family unit is “built on a foundation of traditional gender roles
in which women are subordinate to men. The hierarchy of gender, for which
violence against women is the ultimate expression, has been cemented.”
“Conservatives want to strengthen the family. I find this of grave concern.”
In the year 2000, Swedish feminist Joanna Rytel and the action group Unf**ked
Pussy entered the stage during the live broadcast of the Miss Sweden contest.
She also wrote an article called “I Will Never Give Birth to a White Man[8],”
for a major Swedish daily, Aftonbladet, in 2004. Rytel explained why she hates
white men — they are selfish, exploitative, vain, and sex-crazed — and just to
make things clear, she added, “no white men, please… I just puke on them, thank
you very much.”
Misandry, the hatred of men, isn’t necessarily less prevalent than misogyny, the
hatred of women. The difference is that the former is much more socially
acceptable.
If all oppression comes from Western men, it becomes logical to try weakening
them as much as possible. If you do, a paradise of peace and equality awaits us
at the other side of the rainbow. Well congratulations to Western European
women. You’ve succeeded in harassing and ridiculing your own sons into
suppressing many of their masculine instincts. To your surprise, you didn’t
enter a feminist Nirvana, but paved the way for an unfolding Islamic hell.
It is correct, as feminists claim, that a hyper-feminine society is not as
destructive as a hyper-masculine society. The catch with a too soft society is
that it is unsustainable. It will get squashed as soon as it is confronted by
more traditional, aggressive ones. Instead of “having it all,” Western women
risk losing everything. What are liberal feminists going to do when faced with
aggressive gang of Muslim youngsters? Burn their bras and throw the pocket
edition of the Vagina Monologues at them?
Perhaps women can succeed in turning their men into doormats, but it will be on
the cost of doing so to their nation and to their civilisation as well.
According to Italian American feminist Camille Paglia, “If civilisation had been
left in female hands, we would still be living in grass huts.” That may be an
exaggeration, but male energy is definitely a driving force in any dynamic
culture.
Muslim anti-female violence in the West is a symptom of the breakdown of the
feminist Utopia. Freedoms need to be enforced by violence or the credible threat
of violence, or they are meaningless. Even though women can take steps to
protect themselves, the primary responsibility for protection will probably
always belong to men. Women will thus only have as much freedom as their men are
willing and capable of guaranteeing them. It is a major flaw in many feminist
theories that they fail to acknowledge this.
The difference between women’s rights and women’s illusions is defined by a
Smith and Wesson, not by a Betty Friedan or a Virginia Wolf.
Writer Lars Hedegaard in Denmark does not buy into the theory that women approve
of Muslim immigration out of irrational naivety or ideological conviction. He
thinks they simply want it, as he writes in a column entitled “The dream of
submission.” He does notice, as I do, that women are more likely than men to
support parties that are open for more Muslim immigration.
Why is this, considering that there is hardly a single Muslim majority area in
the world where women enjoy the same rights as men? And Hedegaard asks a
provocative question: Are women more stupid and less enlightened than men, since
they in such great numbers are paving the way for their own submission? He comes
up with an equally provocative answer: “When women are paving the way for
sharia, this is presumably because women want sharia.” They don’t want freedom
because they feel attracted to subservience and subjugation.
The English author Fay Weldon has noted that “For women, there is something
sexually very alluring about submission.” And as Hedegaard dryly notes, if
submission is what many women seek, the feminised Danish men are boring compared
to desert sheikhs who won’t allow you to go outside without permission. Muslims
like to point out that there are more women than men in the West who convert to
Islam, and this is in fact partly true. Islam means “submission.” Is there
something about submission that is more appealing to some women than it is to
most men? Do women yield more easily to power?
In a newspaper article about Swedish women converting to Islam[9], the
attraction of the Islamic family life seems to be a common feature among women
converts. Several of them state that in Islam, the man is more rational and
logical, while the woman is more emotional and caring. This means that the woman
should be the one to take care of the children and do the housekeeping, while
the man should be the one to work and provide for the family. Many of the women
feel that their lives lack a sense of purpose, but Christianity does not seem
like a relevant alternative to them.
The fixation with looks in our modern society and the tougher living conditions
for women, who are supposed to both have a career and do the housekeeping, play
a part, too. Which is curious, considering the fact that it was women
themselves, encouraged by modern talk show hostesses such as Oprah Winfrey, who
talked about “having it all”; it wasn’t the men. Men know that nobody can “have
it all,” you have to give up something to get something. Maybe women have
discovered that working life wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be? Men do,
after all, universally die years before women all over the world.
The plot of novelist Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code is that the modern history of
Christianity was a big, patriarchal plot to deprive women of the rights they
supposedly enjoyed before this, during the age of “the sacred feminine” and the
fertility goddesses who were always barefoot and pregnant. But if that’s the
case, why is it that women make up the majority of Europe’s churchgoers? Why do
women, out of their own free will, seek out these oppressive, patriarchal
religions? Maybe French philosopher Ernest Renan was onto something when he
called women “the devout sex.” Do women need religion more than men?
Are some feminists simply testing out men’s limits in the hope of finding some
new balance between the sexes, or are they testing men to find our which men are
strong enough to stand up to their demands, and thus which men can stand up to
other men on their behalf? I heard one woman who was an ardent feminist in the
1970s later lament how many families they broke up and destroyed. She was
surprised at the reaction, or lack of reaction, from men: “We were horrible. Why
didn’t you stop us?”
In psychiatry, female patients are seen more frequently with self-inflicted
wounds or self-destructive behaviour than men, who tend to direct their
aggression outwards. It is also a well-known fact that many women blame
themselves for abusive husbands, and make excuses for their abusers’ behaviour.
Has the West adopted some of the negative traits of the female psyche? The newly
feminised West gets attacked and assaulted by the Arab and Islamic world, and
continues to blame itself, while at the same time be fascinated by its abusers.
It is thus behaving in the same way as a self-loathing woman towards an abusive
man.
Virginia Woolf in her book A Room of One’s Own praises the genius of William
Shakespeare[10]: “If ever a human being got his work expressed completely, it
was Shakespeare. If ever a mind was incandescent, unimpeded, I thought, turning
again to the bookcase, it was Shakespeare’s mind.” “Let me imagine, since facts
are so hard to come by, what would have happened had Shakespeare had a
wonderfully gifted sister, called Judith, let us say.” “His extraordinarily
gifted sister, let us suppose, remained at home. She was as adventurous, as
imaginative, as agog to see the world as he was. But she was not sent to school.
She had no chance of learning grammar and logic, let alone of reading Horace and
Virgil.” She “killed herself one winter’s night and lies buried at some
cross–roads where the omnibuses now stop outside the Elephant and Castle.”
Feminists claim that the reason why women haven’t been as numerous in politics
and science as men is due to male oppression of women. Some of this is true. But
it is not the whole story. Being male means having to prove something, to
achieve something, in a greater way than it does for women. In addition to this,
the responsibility for child rearing will always fall more heavily on women than
on men. A modern society may lessen these restraints, but it will never remove
them completely. For these practical reasons, it is unlikely that women will
ever be as numerous as men in politics or in the highest level in business.
Christina Hoff Sommers, the author of The War Against Boys, points out that[11]
“after almost 40 years of feminist agitation and gender-neutral pronouns, it is
still men who are far more likely than women to run for political office, start
companies, file for patents, and blow things up. Men continue to tell most of
the jokes and write the vast majority of editorials and letters to editors. And
— fatal to the dreams of feminists who long for social androgyny — men have
hardly budged from their unwillingness to do an equal share of housework or
childcare. Moreover, women seem to like manly men.”
She also notes that “One of the least visited memorials in Washington is a
waterfront statue commemorating the men who died on the Titanic. Seventy-four
percent of the women passengers survived the April 15, 1912, calamity, while 80
percent of the men perished. Why? Because the men followed the principle ‘women
and children first.’ “The monument, an 18-foot granite male figure with arms
outstretched to the side, was erected by ‘the women of America’ in 1931 to show
their gratitude. The inscription reads: “To the brave men who perished in the
wreck of the Titanic. [...] They gave their lives that women and children might
be saved.”
Simone de Beauvoir famously said, “One is not born, but becomes a woman.” She
meant that they should reject all the inducements of nature, society, and
conventional morality. Beauvoir condemned marriage and family as a “tragedy” for
women, and compared childbearing and nurturing to slavery.
Strangely enough, after decades of feminism, many Western women are now
lamenting the fact that Western men hesitate to get married. Here is columnist
Molly Watson[12]:
We’re also pretty clued up about why our generation is delaying having children
— and it has nothing to do with being failed by employers or health planners.
Nor, despite endless newspaper features on the subject, does it have much to do
with business women putting careers before babies. In my experience, the root
cause of the epidemic lies with a collective failure of nerve among men our age.
[…] I don’t know a woman of my age whose version of living happily ever after
fundamentally hinges on becoming editor, or senior partner, or surgeon, or
leading counsel. But faced with a generation of emotionally immature men who
seem to view marriage as the last thing they’ll do before they die, we have
little option but to wait.
What happened to the slogan “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle”?
I’d just like to remind Ms. Watson that it was in fact the women who started
this whole “single is best” culture that now permeates much of the West. Since
women initiate most divorces and a divorce can potentially mean financial ruin
for a man, it shouldn’t really be too surprising that many men hesitate to get
involved at all. As one man put it: “I don’t think I’ll get married again. I’ll
just find a woman I don’t like and give her a house.” At the same time, women
during the past few decades have made it a lot easier to have a girlfriend
without getting married. So women make it riskier to get married and easier to
stay unmarried, and then they wonder why men “won’t commit?” Maybe too many
women didn’t think all this feminism stuff quite through before jumping on the
bandwagon?
The latest wave of radical feminism has severely wounded the family structure of
the Western world. It is impossible to raise the birth rates to replacement
level before women are valued for raising children, and before men and women are
willing to marry in the first place. Human beings are social creatures, not
solitary ones. We are created to live with partners. Marriage is not a
“conspiracy to oppress women”, it’s the reason why we’re here. And it’s not a
religious thing, either. According to strict, atheist Darwinism, the purpose of
life is to reproduce.
A study from the United States[13] identified the main barriers to men tying the
knot. Heading the list was their ability to get sex without marriage more easily
than in the past. The second was that they can enjoy the benefits of having a
wife by cohabiting rather than marrying. The report lends weight to remarks by
Ross Cameron, the parliamentary secretary to the Minister for Family and
Community Services, who chided Australian men, blaming Australia’s looming
fertility crisis on men’s commitment phobia. “The principal reason young women
say they don’t get around to having children is they can’t find a bloke they
like who is willing to commit,” he said. “This commitment aversion in the
Australian male is a real problem.”
Barbara Boyle Torrey and Nicholas Eberstadt write about[14] a significant
divergence in fertility between Canada and the U.S.: “The levels of Canadian and
American long-term trends in age of first marriage, first births, and common-law
unions are consistent with the divergence in total fertility rates in the two
countries. But the divergence in none of these proximate variables is large
enough to explain the much larger divergence in fertility.” “Changing values in
the U.S. and Canada may be contributing to the fertility divergence. The
stronger notional role of men in U.S. families and the greater religiosity of
Americans are positively associated with fertility, and the latter is also a
strong predictor of negative attitudes toward abortion. Women in Canada enter
common-law unions more often, wait longer than American women to marry, and have
children later and less often.”
In Europe, Newsweek writes about[15] how packs of wolves are now making a
comeback in regions of Central Europe: “A hundred years ago, a burgeoning,
land-hungry population killed off the last of Germany’s wolves.” “Our postcard
view of Europe, after all, is of a continent where every scrap of land has long
been farmed, fenced off and settled. But the continent of the future may look
rather different. “Big parts of Europe will renaturalise,” says Reiner
Klingholz, head of the Berlin Institute for Population Development. Bears are
back in Austria. In Swiss alpine valleys, farms have been receding and forests
are growing back in. In parts of France and Germany, wildcats and ospreys have
re-established their range.”
“In Italy, more than 60 percent of the country’s 2.6 million farmers are at
least 65 years old. Once they die out, many of their farms will join the 6
million hectares (one third of Italian farmland) that has already been
abandoned.” “With the EU alone needing about 1.6 million immigrants a year above
its current level to keep the working-age population stable between now and
2050, a much more likely source of migrants would be Europe’s Muslim neighbours,
whose young populations are set to almost double in that same time.”
It is numbers like these that have induced Phillip Longman to foresee “the
Return of Patriarchy[16]” and proclaim that “conservatives will inherit the
Earth:”
“Among states that voted for President George W. Bush in 2004, fertility rates
are 12 percent higher than in states that voted for Sen. John Kerry.” “It turns
out that Europeans who are most likely to identify themselves as “world
citizens” are also those least likely to have children.” “The great difference
in fertility rates between secular individualists and religious or cultural
conservatives augurs a vast, demographically driven change in modern societies.”
“Tomorrow’s children, therefore, will be for the most part descendants of a
comparatively narrow and culturally conservative segment of society.”
“In addition to the greater fertility of conservative segments of society, the
rollback of the welfare state forced by population aging and decline will give
these elements an additional survival advantage.” “People will find that they
need more children to insure their golden years, and they will seek to bind
their children to them through inculcating traditional religious values.”
This last point is worth dwelling with. The elaborate welfare state model in
Western Europe is frequently labelled as “the nanny state,” but perhaps it could
also be named “the husband state.” Why? Well, in a traditional society, the role
of men and husbands is to physically protect and financially provide for their
women. In our modern society, part of this task has simply been “outsourced” to
the state, which helps explain why women in general give a disproportionate
support to high taxation and pro-welfare state parties. The state has simply
become a substitute husband, upheld by taxation of their ex-husbands.
It should be mentioned that if this welfare state should for some reason cease
to function[17], for instance due to economic and security pressures caused by
Muslim immigration, Western women will suddenly discover that they are not quite
as independent from men as they like to think. In this case, it is conceivable
that we will se a return to the modern traditional “provide and protect”
masculinity, as people, and women in particular, will need the support of the
nuclear and extended family to manage.
Another issue is that although countries such as Norway and Sweden like to
portray themselves as havens of gender equality, I have heard visitors to these
countries comment that the sexes are probably further apart here than anywhere
else in the world. And I readily believe that. Radical feminism has bred
suspicion and hostility, not cooperation. And what’s more, it has no in any way
eradicated the basic sexual attraction between feminine women and masculine men.
If people do not find this in their own country, they travel to another country
or culture to find it, which in our age of globalisation is easier than ever. A
striking number of Scandinavian men find their wives in East Asia, Latin America
or other nations with a more traditional view of femininity, and a number of
women find partners from more conservative countries, too. Not everyone, of
course, but the trend is unmistakable and significant. Scandinavians celebrate
“gender equality,” and travel to the other side of the world to find somebody
actually worth marrying.
To sum it up, it must be said that radical feminism has been one of the most
important causes of the current weakness of Western civilisation, both
culturally and demographically. Feminists, often with a Marxist world view, have
been a crucial component in establishing the suffocating public censorship of
Political Correctness in Western nations. They have also severely weakened the
Western family structure, and contributed to making the West too soft and
self-loathing to deal with aggression from Muslims.
Although feminism may have strayed away into extremism, that does not mean that
all of its ideas are wrong. The women’s movement will make lasting changes.
Women have occupied positions considered unthinkable only a few decades ago.
Some things are irreversible.
Women pretty much run men’s private lives. Marriage used to be a trade: Female
nurturing and support for male financial and social security. In a modern world,
women may not need men’s financial support quite as much as they did before,
while men need women’s emotional support just as much as we have always done.
The balance of power has changed in favor of women, although this situation may
not last forever. This does not have to be bad. Women still want a partner. But
it requires men to be more focused on doing their best.
A study by scientists at the University of Copenhagen concludes that divorce is
closely linked to poor health, especially among men[18]. The research indicates
that the death rate for single or divorced males aged 40-50 is twice as high as
for other groups. The research has taken into account whether there are other
factors that could lead to an early death — such as a mental illness and having
grown up under poor social conditions. “Considering the high amount of children
growing up in broken homes we do believe that the study is very relevant. “It
proves that divorce can have a serious consequence,” and that we may need a
prevention strategy. John Aasted Halse, psychologist and author of numerous
books about divorce, agrees.
The apparent contradiction between female dominance on the micro level and male
dominance on the macro level cannot be easily explained within the context of a
“weaker/stronger sex”. I will postulate that being male first of all is some
kind of nervous energy, something you need to prove. This will have both
positive and negative results. Male numerical dominance in science and politics,
as well as in crime and war, is linked to this. Women do not have this urge to
prove themselves as much as men do. In some ways, this is a strength. Hence I
think the terms “The Restless Sex” for men and “The Self-Contained Sex” for
women are more appropriate and explain the differences better.
Daniel Pipes keeps saying that the answer to radical Islam is moderate Islam.
There may not be any such thing as a moderate Islam, but there just might be a
moderate feminism, and a mature masculinity to match it. In the book Manliness,
Harvey C. Mansfield offers what he calls a modest defence of manliness. As he
says, “Manliness, however, seems to be about fifty-fifty good and bad.”
Manliness can be noble and heroic, like the men on the Titanic who sacrificed
their lives for “women and children first,” but it can also be foolish,
stubborn, and violent. Many men will find it offensive to hear that Islamic
violence and honour killings have anything to do with masculinity, but it does.
Islam is a compressed version of all the darkest aspects of masculinity. We
should reject it. Men, too, lose their freedom to think and say what they want
in Islam, not just women.
However, even a moderate version of feminism could prove lethal to Islam. Islam
survives on the extreme subjugation of women. Deprived of this, it will
suffocate and die. It is true that the West still hasn’t found the formula for
the perfect balance between men and women in the 21st century, but at least we
are working on the issue. Islam is stuck in the 7th century. Some men lament the
loss of a sense of masculinity in a modern world. Perhaps a meaningful one could
be to make sure that our sisters and daughters grow up in a world where they
have the right to education and a free life, and protect them against Islamic
barbarism. It’s going to be needed.

According to Heather MacDonald[1], the feminist takeover of Harvard is imminent.
The university is about to name as its new president radical feminist Drew
Gilpin Faust, following Lawrence Summers’s all-too-brief reign. Summers’s
recklessly honest speculations about women in science strengthened the feminist
hold on faculty hiring and promotions. The Task Force won a $50 million
commitment to increase faculty “diversity efforts” at Harvard.
As University President, Lawrence Summers in 2005 gave a speech[2] where he
dared to suggest that innate differences between men and women could explain why
men hold more seats as top scientists than women. This is a plausible thesis.
According to Dr Paul Irwing[3]
at Manchester University, there are
twice as many men with an IQ of 120-plus as there are women, and 30 times as
many with an IQ of 170-plus. There are other studies that indicate similar,
disproportionate numbers of men among those with extremely high intelligence.
Besides, even though Summers may have been wrong, it is dangerous to embark on a
road where important issues are not debated at all. One of the hallmarks of
Western civilisation has been our thirst for asking questions about everything.
Political Correctness is thus anti-Western both in its form and in its intent.
It should be noted that in this case, feminists formed the vanguard of PC[4],
the same ideology that has blinded our universities to the Islamic threat.
It makes it even worse when we know that other feminists in academia assert that
the veil, or even the burka, represents “an alternative feminism.” Dr. Wairimu
Njambi is an Assistant Professor of “Women’s Studies” at the Florida Atlantic
University. Much of her scholarship is dedicated to advancing the notion that
the cruel practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) is actually a triumph for
Feminism and that it is hateful to suggest otherwise. According to Njambi
“anti-FGM discourse perpetuates a colonialist assumption by universalising a
particular western image of a ‘normal’ body and sexuality.”
Harvard university recently received a $20 million donation[5] from Prince
Al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud, a member of the Saudi Royal Family,
to finance Islamic studies. This will no doubt be used to influence the
curriculum to make it friendlier and less “Islamophobic.” Senior Western
institutions for higher education such as Harvard are thus simultaneously
serving as outlets for Saudi Islamic propaganda and for left-wing radical
feminists. This may on the surface look like quite a paradox, but in different
ways both groups discredit traditional Western culture by highlighting its
“history of oppression and injustice,” and they both stifle ideological dissent
and suppress criticism of their holy doctrines. Perhaps feminists failed to
listen to fellow Harvard Professor Charles Fried, who has warned[6] that “The
greatest enemy of liberty has always been some vision of the good.”
Feminism has hurt us by encouraging public accept for intellectual hypocrisy,
which later paved the way for Islamic infiltration. The official mantra is that
men and women are not just equal but identical, but at the same time that women
are also somehow superior. Both of these claims cannot, logically speaking, be
true at the same time, yet both are being made simultaneously. This gross double
standard closely mirrors that of multiculturalism, where all cultures are equal
but Western culture is inferior and evil.
This is a technique labelled Repressive Tolerance by the cultural Marxist
Herbert Marcuse in 1965. Briefly speaking, those who are deemed to belong to
“dominant” groups of society should have their freedom of speech suppressed by
progressives and radicals, and simply be denied access to discussion forums, in
order to rectify the “institutional oppression” in society. Marcuse’s ideas[7]
had a huge impact in the 1960s and 70s. He also advocated free sex without any
constraints as a method of freeing people from religious morality.
Prof. Bernard Lewis warned[8] in The
Jerusalem Post that Islam could soon be the dominant force in a Europe
“Europeans are losing their own self-confidence,” he said. “They have no respect
for their own culture” and have “surrendered” on every issue with regard to
Islam in a mood of “self-abasement and political correctness.” Although Mr.
Lewis did not say so, this is to a significant extent the result of decades of
demonisation by left-wing academics, including radical feminists. The goal of
radical feminism was never about equality between the sexes, it was about the
destruction of the nuclear family and of the power structures of society in
general.
As Ellen Willis, self-proclaimed democratic socialist and founder of
Redstockings, a radical feminist
group from 1969, stated[9] to left-wing The Nation in 1981: “Feminism is not
just an issue or a group of issues, it is the cutting edge of a revolution in
cultural and moral values. [...] The objective of every feminist reform, from
legal abortion [...] to child-care programs, is to undermine traditional family
values.” Feminist icon Simone de Beauvoir stated[10] that “no woman should be
authorised to stay at home to raise her children […] because if there is such a
choice, too many women will make that one.”
Well, after two generations of Second Wave Feminism, Ms. Willis and Ms. Beauvoir
have had their way: The West has skyrocketing divorce rates and plummeting birth
rates, leading to a cultural and demographic vacuum that makes us vulnerable to
a take-over by… Islam. And feminists still aren't satisfied.
Toy researcher Anders Nelson at Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology has
warned[11] that toys have become increasingly gender-segregated over the past
fifteen years: “People often explain [their toy purchases] by saying that boys
and girls want different things. But in order for children to be able to reflect
on [the toys] they receive, adults have to open their eyes to [inherent gender]
structures. To children, these [gender] roles are more unquestioned and
instinctual.” Mr. Nelson encouraged parents to give more gender neutral
Christmas presents. In other words, no Barbie dolls for girls and no cars for
boys. This is the result of a culture destroyed by Political Correctness.
Swedish Marxist politician Gudrun Schyman has suggested[12] a bill that would
collectively tax Swedish men for violence against women. In a 2002 speech, the
same Schyman famously posited that Swedish men were just like the Islamic
Taliban regime in Afghanistan. A male columnist in national newspaper
Aftonbladet responded by saying that
Schyman was right: All men are like the Taliban.
Misandry, the hatred of men, isn’t necessarily less prevalent than misogyny, the
hatred of women. The difference is that the former is much more socially
acceptable.
When young politician Kjetil Vevle showed up for a meeting[13] planning the
demonstrations at that year’s protests at the International Women’s Day on 8
March in the city of Bergen, Norway, he was told that men didn’t have voting
rights at the meeting even though they were passionate feminists. The leaders
didn’t think there was any cause for complaints, as the men had generously been
awarded the right to voice their opinion, just not the right to make decisions.
Although countries such as Norway and Sweden like to portray themselves as
havens of gender equality[14], I have heard visitors comment that the sexes are
probably further apart here than anywhere else in the world. Radical feminism
has bred suspicion and hostility, not cooperation. And it has no in any way
eradicated the basic sexual attraction between feminine women and masculine men.
If people do not find this in their own country, they travel to another country
to find it, which is now easier than ever. A striking number of Scandinavian men
find their wives in East Asia, Latin America or other nations with a more
traditional view of femininity, and a number of women find partners from more
conservative countries, too. Not everyone, of course, but the trend is
unmistakable. Scandinavians celebrate “gender equality” and travel to the other
side of the world to find somebody actually worth marrying.
Norway and Sweden are countries with extremely high divorce rates. Boys grow up
in an atmosphere where masculinity is demonised, attend a school system where
they are viewed as deficient girls and are told by the media that men are
obsolete and will soon be rendered extinct anyway.
A feminist culture will eventually end up being squashed, because the men have
either become too demoralised and weakened to protect their women, or because
they have become so fed-up with incessant ridicule that they just don't care
anymore. If Western men are pigs and “just like the Taliban” no matter what we
do, why bother? Western women will then be squashed by more aggressive men from
other cultures, which is exactly what is happening[15] in Western Europe now.
The irony is that when women launched the Second Wave of Feminism in the 1960s
and 70s, they were reasonably safe and, in my view, not very oppressed. When the
long-term effects of feminism finally set in, Western women may very well end up
being genuinely oppressed under the boot of Islam. Radical feminism thus leads
to oppression of women.
I wonder whether Virginia Wolf saw this coming. Maybe if she were alive today,
she would hail the Islamic veil as an “alternative road to feminism” and write a
book called A Burka of One’s Own.
With some luck, it might even have earned her a Diversity Scholarship at
Harvard.

By Fjordman
What causes low birth rates? I have debated this issue at some length with
blogger “Conservative Swede”. Among the reasons frequently cited are the welfare
state, feminism and secularism. However, if you look closely at the statistics
from various countries, the picture gets quite complex, and there doesn’t appear
to be an automatic correlation between low birth rates and any one of these
factors.
The United States has the highest birth rates in the West, but this is largely
due to ethnic minorities. If you compare white Americans to white Europeans, the
American birth rate is somewhat higher than those of the Scandinavian nanny
states, but still lower than replacement level. Scandinavian countries such as
Norway and Sweden do have elaborate welfare states, high degrees of feminism and
are not very religious, yet have some of the highest birth rates in the Western
world (though still below replacement level.) They are certainly much higher
than those in Catholic Poland, perhaps the most conservative religious country
in Europe. And they are much higher than those of South Korea, which has more
traditional sex roles and where Christianity is booming these days.
The gap between the Western world and the Islamic world[1] in birth rates is
clearly caused by religious factors, but the differences between industrialised
nations are far more difficult to explain. If the cause is not welfarism,
feminism or secularism, then what is it?
Making mums: Can we feed the need to breed? Canada has a baby deficit. Will
paying women to have more kids help?[2]
How strange, then, that just as the mummy industry is booming, we’re in the
grips of a baby bust. Canada’s fertility rate has been in a free fall for
decades. In recent years, though, it has hovered at an all-time low of roughly
1.5 children per woman (we need 2.1 if we’re going to replace ourselves). Social
analysts pin it on some jumble of female education and fiscal autonomy,
secularisation, birth control, Sex and the City, a heightened desire for
personal freedom, and increasing uncertainty about bringing a child into a world
plagued by terrorism, global warming and Lindsay Lohan. In a
hyper-individualistic, ultra-commodified culture like ours, motherhood, for
better and worse, is less a fact of life than just another lifestyle choice.
All over the developed world, the same pattern is apparent. Russia, Britain,
Ireland, Australia, Spain, Italy and dozens of other countries are contending
with fertility rates well below replacement levels. Forty per cent of female
university graduates in Germany are childless. In Japan, where the birth rate
has sunk to a record low of 1.26, family planning groups are blaming the
Internet, charging that fertile men and women are spending too much time online,
and not enough having sex.
Making Kids Worthless: Social Security’s Contribution to the Fertility Crisis[3]
Many people nowadays find it hard to see why anyone would have children for the
sake of old-age security. Surely, they think, people have children just because
they like it. Still, they often hear people say they would like to have more
children, but they cannot afford it. Moreover, people in less developed
countries seem to afford large families, even though their real incomes barely
reach subsistence levels.
What can account for these seemingly conflicting observations? The fact that in
the absence of social security, the extended family is an informal social
insurance mechanism that renders childbearing economically beneficial. But in
countries with large social security systems, people no longer have an old-age
security motive for fertility, precisely because social security has made
fertility economically unwise.
Of course, social security is not the only reason for declining fertility rates.
For one thing, the welfare state undermines the family in many other ways too,
such as compulsory public education that seeks to replace family loyalty with
allegiance to the state. Moreover, the old-age security motive for fertility
should become weaker when other ways of providing for old age become available…
One can also look at differences among the developed Western countries. Among
these countries, there are practically no differences in infant mortality rates,
female labour force participation rates, and other standard explanations of the
fertility decline. Yet total fertility rates differ widely — and exactly in the
way predicted by the size of social security systems. The United States has a
fertility rate of 2.09, whereas the European Union has an average of 1.47.
Also within Europe, where social security benefits are dangerously generous,
there are differences among countries. Some of the most generous schemes are
found in Germany, France, and the Mediterranean countries — as are the lowest
fertility rates in the region. On the surface, it is surprising to find this in
countries that used to be family-oriented and fervently Catholic. However,
economic incentives shape behaviour, and behaviour shapes culture…
The best solution is also the simplest: get the state out of the way.
Death by secularism: Some statistical evidence[4]
Infertility is killing off the secular world, a number of writers have observed,
including Phillip Longman, whose 1994 book The Empty Cradle I reviewed
last year. In the former Soviet empire, where atheism reigned as state policy
for generations, the United Nations forecasts extreme declines in population by
2050, ranging from 22% for the Russian Federation to nearly 50% for the Ukraine.
Secular western Europe will lose 4% to 12% of its population, while the
population of the churchgoing United States continues to grow. Is secularism at
fault? The numbers do not suggest otherwise.
Humankind cannot abide the terror of mortality without the promise of
immortality, I have argue in the past. In the absence of religion human society
sinks into depressive torpor. Secular society therefore is an oxymoron, for the
death of religion leads quickly enough to the death of society itself.
Why Europe chooses extinction[5]
Demographics is destiny. Never in recorded history have prosperous and peaceful
nations chosen to disappear from the face of the earth. Yet that is what the
Europeans have chosen to do. Back in 1348 Europe suffered the Black Death, a
combination of bubonic plague and likely a form of mad cow disease, observes
American Enterprise Institute scholar Ben Wattenberg. “The plague reduced the
estimated European population by about a third. In the next 50 years, Europe’s
population will relive — in slow motion — that plague demography, losing about a
fifth of its population by 2050 and more as the decades roll on.”
Bring back that Old Time Religion[6]
[S]ecularism promotes a more short term and hedonistic attitude towards life.
Since secular people have little faith in God or an after life, the tendency is
for them to adopt the attitude of “Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we
die”. Of course, not all secular people are like that. But in general,
secularism promotes such attitudes.
Their time horizon is therefore their own lifetime. Religious people on the
other hand are more long term. Their eyes are on eternity. If you go to Europe,
you will come across many Cathedrals that took centuries to build. For example,
Cologne Cathedral took more than 300 years to complete.
Why did the Medieval Christians start a project that none of them would live to
see its completion? The answer is that they look to the hereafter. Their desire
was to please God and go to heaven. They say that faith can move mountains. Here
a mountain of stone was literally moved to build the great Cathedrals of Europe.
But what of the secular people in now post-Christian Europe? What are the
economic consequences of people whose time frame is simply the rest of their
lives?
For a start, they (in general) want to enjoy their lives to the hilt. For some,
this could mean early retirement with loss of still productive workers to the
economy. For others, it could mean fewer or no children for children means
responsibility and a tax on their resources which could be used to indulge
themselves. Statistics from America have shown that regular church goers tend to
have more children than those that seldom attend church.
So the question becomes: do we make demands on individuals and possibly restrict
individual liberty to encourage breeding, introduce new forms of incentives or
do we invest billions in developing artificial wombs and contract the parenting
out to a new population industry? Perhaps we should go back to third world
conditions and values to increase fertility rates?
The main problem is the working women. I'm not against it. I'm all for it in
fact. The thing is, there's a lot of women who want to have kids but can't
because they'd reduce their income without reducing their outgoings, which is
now increasingly a result of taxes and interest payments. So they work, and
reason that they can have kids at a later age, not realising that the statistics
for fertility after the age of 30 look dire at best.
Personally, I think the following incentive would prove to be successful:
The state invests in/buys/builds X amount of housing units (designed for a
family with 3 children). All married couples who has three children will have a
prerogative to one of these housing units immediately after the third child is
born. They have the right to live in this housing unit until their youngest
child is 18. If the couple breaks up the family forfeits their right to the
housing unit and are forced to move out. This will both work as a great
incentive for family unity and encourage people to have more than 2 children. It
will also lessen the financial pressure on the mother to have a full time job
while caring for 3 or more children. The housing units should be more attractive
than the national standard (as the main point is to make them attractive enough)
and could include free kindergardens located on the ground floor. If needed,
more incentives can be added to the “housing unit incentive” for families with 3
or more children, until we reach an average birth rate of 2,1 or even up to 2,5
if desired. Obviously, a project of this magnitude would require visionary
leaders which todays Western European countries lack.
The above solution isn’t perfect, but it’s a simple and effective method which
would most likely increase that country’s birth rate considerably (and
contribute to family unity). However, a method like this would prove to be too
effective and would therefore undermine the current justification of
multiculturalism (the core mantra: we need mote Muslims to replace our aging
populations!).

“An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide. “
Arnold Toynbee
American columnist Diana West recently released her book
The Death of the Grown-up, where she
traces the decline of Western civilisation to the permanent youth rebellions of
the past two generations. The decade from the first half of the 1960s to the
first half of the 1970s was clearly a major watershed in Western history, with
the start of non-Western mass immigration in the USA, the birth of Eurabia in
Western Europe and the rise of multiculturalism and radical Feminism.
The paradox is that the people who viciously attacked their own civilisation had
enjoyed uninterrupted economic growth for decades, yet embraced Marxist-inspired
ideologies and decided to undermine the very society which had allowed them to
live privileged lives. Maybe this isn't as strange as it seems. Karl Marx
himself was aided by the wealth of Friedrich Engels, the son of a successful
industrialist.
This was also the age of decolonisation in Western Europe and desegregation in
the USA, which created an atmosphere where Western civilisation was seen as
evil. Whatever the cause, we have since been stuck in a pattern of eternal
opposition to our own civilisation. Some of these problems may well have older
roots, but they became institutionalised to an unprecedented degree during the
1960s.
According to Diana West[1], the organising thesis of her book "is that the
unprecedented transfer of cultural authority from adults to adolescents over the
past half century or so has dire implications for the survival of the Western
world." Having redirected our natural development away from adulthood and
maturity in order to strike the pop-influenced pose of eternally cool youth –
ever-open, non-judgmental, self-absorbed, searching for (or just plain lacking)
identity – we have fostered a society marked by these same traits. In short:
Westerners live in a state of perpetual adolescence, but also with a
corresponding perpetual identity crisis. West thinks maturity went out of style
in the rebellious 1960s, "the biggest temper tantrum in the history of the
world," which flouted authority figures of any kind.
She also believes that although the most radical break with the past took place
during the 60s and 70s, the roots of Western youth culture are to be found in
the 1950s with the birth of rock and roll music, Elvis Presley and actors such
as James Dean. Pop group The Beatles embodied this in the early 60s, but changed
radically in favor of drugs and the rejection of established wisdom as they
approached 1970, a shift which was reflected in the entire culture.
Personally, one of my favourite movies from the 1980s was Back to the Future. In
one of the scenes, actor Michael J. Fox travels in time from 1985 to 1955.
Before he leaves 1985, he hears the slogan "Re-elect Mayor....Progress is his
middle name." The same slogan is repeated in 1955, only with a different name.
Politics is politics in any age. Writers Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale have
stated that they chose the year 1955 as the setting of the movie because this
was the age of the birth of teen culture: This was when the teenager started to
rule, and he has ruled ever since.
As West says[2], many things changed in the economic boom in the decades
following the Second World War: "When you talk about the postwar period, the
vast new affluence is a big factor in reorienting the culture to adolescent
desire. You see a shift in cultural authority going to the young. Instead of
kids who might take a job to be able to help with household expenses, all of a
sudden that pocket money was going into the manufacture of a massive new
culture. That conferred such importance to a period of adolescence that had
never been there before." After generations of this celebration of youth, the
adults have no confidence left: "Kids are planning expensive trips, going out
unchaperoned, they are drinking, debauching, absolutely running amok, yet the
parents say, 'I can't do anything about it.' Parents have abdicated
responsibilities to give in to adolescent desire."
She believes that "Where womanhood stands today is deeply affected by the death
of grown-up. I would say the sexualised female is part of the phenomenon I'm
talking about, so I don't think they're immune to the death of the grown-up.
Women are still emulating young fashion. Where sex is more available, there are
no longer the same incentives building toward married life, which once was a big
motivation toward the maturing process."
Is she right? Have we become a civilisation of Peter Pans refusing to grow up?
Have we been cut off from the past by disparaging everything old as outmoded? I
know blogger Conservative Swede, who likes Friedrich Nietzsche, thinks we suffer
from "slave morality," but I sometimes wonder whether we suffer from child
morality rather than slave morality. However, there are other forces at work
here as well.
The welfare state encourages an infantilisation of society where people return
to childhood by being provided for by others. This creates not just a culture
obsessed with youth but with adolescent irresponsibility. Many people live in a
constant state of rebellion against not just their parents but their nation,
their culture and their civilisation.
Writer Theodore Dalrymple thinks[3] one reason for the epidemic of
self-destructiveness in Western societies is the avoidance of boredom: "For
people who have no transcendent purpose to their lives and cannot invent one
through contributing to a cultural tradition (for example), in other words who
have no religious belief and no intellectual interests to stimulate them,
self-destruction and the creation of crises in their life is one way of warding
off meaninglessness."
According to him, what we are seeing now[4] is "a society in which people demand
to behave more or less as they wish, that is to say whimsically, in accordance
with their kaleidoscopically changing desires, at the same time as being
protected from the natural consequences of their own behaviour by agencies of
the state. The result is a combination of Sodom and Gomorrah and a vast and
impersonal bureaucracy of welfare."
The welfare state deprives you of the possibility of deriving self-respect from
your work. This can hurt a person's self-respect, but more so for men than for
women because masculine identity is closely tied to providing for others.
Stripped of this, male self-respect declines and society with it. Dalrymple also
worries about the end of fatherhood, and believes that the worst child
abusers[5] are governments promoting the very circumstances in which child abuse
and neglect are most likely to take place: "He who promotes single parenthood is
indifferent to the fate of children." Fatherhood scarcely exists, except in the
merest biological sense:
"I worked in a hospital in which had it not been for the children of Indian
immigrants, the illegitimacy rate of children born there would have approached
one hundred per cent. It became an almost indelicate question to ask of a young
person who his or her father was; to me, it was still an astounding thing to be
asked, 'Do you mean my father now, at the moment?' as if it could change at any
time and had in fact changed several times before."
This is because "women are to have children merely because they want them, as is
their government-given right, irrespective of their ability to bring them up, or
who has to pay for them, or the consequences to the children themselves. Men are
to be permanently infantilised, their income being in essence pocket money for
them to spend on their enjoyments, having no serious responsibilities at all
(beyond paying tax). Henceforth, the state will be father to the child, and the
father will be child of the state."
As Swedish writer Per Bylund explains[6]: "Most of us were not raised by our
parents at all. We were raised by the authorities in state daycare centers from
the time of infancy; then pushed on to public schools, public high schools, and
public universities; and later to employment in the public sector and more
education via the powerful labour unions and their educational associations. The
state is ever-present and is to many the only means of survival – and its
welfare benefits the only possible way to gain independence."
Though Sweden is arguably an extreme case, author Melanie Phillips notices[7]
the same trends in Britain, too: "Our culture is now deep into uncharted
territory. Generations of family disintegration in turn are unravelling the
fundamentals of civilised human behaviour. Committed fathers are crucial to
their children's emotional development. As a result of the incalculable
irresponsibility of our elites, however, fathers have been seen for the past
three decades as expendable and disposable. Lone parenthood stopped being a
source of shame and turned instead into a woman's inalienable right. The state
has provided more and more inducements to women – through child benefit, council
flats and other welfare provision – to have children without committed fathers.
This has produced generations of women-only households, where emotionally needy
girls so often become hopelessly inadequate mothers who abuse and neglect their
own children – who, in turn, perpetuate the destructive pattern. This is
culturally nothing less than suicidal."
I sometimes wonder whether the modern West, and Western Europe in particular,
should be dubbed the Fatherless Civilisation. Fathers have been turned into a
caricature and there is a striking demonisation of traditional male values. Any
person attempting to enforce rules and authority, a traditional male preserve,
is seen as a Fascist and ridiculed, starting with God the Father. We end up with
a society of vague fathers who can be replaced at the whim of the mothers at any
given moment. Even the mothers have largely abdicated, leaving the upbringing of
children to schools, kindergartens and television. In fashion and lifestyle,
mothers imitate their daughters, not vice versa.
The elaborate welfare state model in Western Europe is frequently labelled "the
nanny state," but perhaps it could also be named "the husband state." Why? Well,
in a traditional society, the role of men was to physically protect and
financially provide for their women. In our modern society, part of this task
has been "outsourced" to the state, which helps explain why women in general
give disproportionate support to high taxation and pro-welfare state parties.
According to anthropologist Lionel Tiger, the ancient unit of a mother, a child
and a father has morphed from monogamy into "bureaugamy," a mother, a child and
a bureaucrat. The state has become a substitute husband. In fact, it doesn't
replace just the husband, it replaces the entire nuclear and extended family,
raises the children and cares for the elderly.
Øystein Djupedal, Minister of Education and Research from the Socialist Left
Party and responsible for Norwegian education from kindergartens via high
schools to PhD level, has stated[8]: "I think that it's simply a mistaken view
of child-rearing to believe that parents are the best to raise children.
'Children need a village,' said Hillary Clinton. But we don't have that. The
village of our time is the kindergarten." He later retracted this statement,
saying that parents have the main responsibility for raising children, but that
"kindergartens are a fantastic device for children, and it is good for children
to spend time in kindergarten before [they] start school."
The problem is that some of his colleagues use the kindergarten as the blueprint
for society as a whole, even for adults. In the fall of 2007, Norway's
center-left government issued a warning to 140 companies that still hadn't
fulfilled the state-mandated quota of 40 percent women on their boards of
directors. Equality minister Karita Bekkemellem stated[9] that companies failing
to meet the quota will face involuntary dissolution, despite the fact that many
are within traditionally male-oriented branches like the offshore oil industry,
shipping and finance. She called the law "historic and radical" and said it will
be enforced.
Bekkemellem is thus punishing the naughty children who refuse to do as Mother
State tells them to, even if these children happen to be private corporations.
The state replaces the father in the sense that it provides for you financially,
but it acts more like a mother in removing risks and turning society into a
cozy, regulated kindergarten with ice cream and speech codes.
Blog reader Tim W. thinks[10] women tend to be more selfish than men vis-a-vis
the opposite sex: "Men show concern for women and children while women.... well,
they show concern for themselves and children. I'm not saying that individual
women don't show concern for husbands or brothers, but as a group (or voting
bloc) they have no particular interest in men's well-being. Women's problems are
always a major concern but men's problems aren't. Every political candidate is
expected to address women's concerns, but a candidate even acknowledging that
men might have concerns worth addressing would be ostracised." What if men lived
an average of five years and eight months longer than women? Well, if that were
the case, we'd never hear the end of it: "Feminists and women candidates would
walk around wearing buttons with 'five years, eight months' written on them to
constantly remind themselves and the world about this horrendous inequity. That
this would happen, and surely it would, says something about the differing
natures of male and female voters."
Bernard Chapin interviewed Dr. John Lott[11] at Frontpage Magazine. According to
Lott, "I think that women are generally more risk averse then men are and they
see government as one way of providing insurance against life's vagaries. I also
think that divorced women with kids particularly turn towards government for
protection. Simply giving women the right to vote explained at least a third of
the growth in government for about 45 years."
He thinks this "explains a lot of the government's growth in the US but also the
rest of the world over the last century. When states gave women the right to
vote, government spending and tax revenue, even after adjusting for inflation
and population, went from not growing at all to more than doubling in ten years.
As women gradually made up a greater and greater share of the electorate, the
size of government kept on increasing. This continued for 45 years as a lot of
older women who hadn't been used to voting when suffrage first passed were
gradually replaced by younger women. After you get to the 1960s, the continued
growth in government is driven by higher divorce rates. Divorce causes women
with children to turn much more to government programs." The liberalisation of
abortion also led to more single parent families.
Diana West thinks what we saw in the counterculture of the 1960s was a
leveling[12] of all sorts of hierarchies, both of learning and of authority.
From that emerged the leveling of culture and by extension multiculturalism. She
also links this trend to the nanny state:
"In considering the strong links between an increasingly paternalistic nanny
state and the death of the grown-up, I found that Tocqueville (of course) had
long ago made the connections. He tried to imagine under what conditions
despotism could come to the United States. He came up with a vision of the
nation characterised, on the one hand, by an 'innumerable multitude of men,
alike and equal, constantly circling around in pursuit of the petty and banal
pleasures with which they glut their souls,' and, on the other, by the 'immense
protective power' of the state. 'Banal pleasures' and 'immense state power'
might have sounded downright science-fictional in the middle of the 19th
century; by the start of the 21st century, it begins to sound all too familiar.
Indeed, speaking of the all-powerful state, he wrote: 'It would resemble
parental authority if, fatherlike, it tried to prepare its charges for a man's
life, but, on the contrary, it only tries to keep them in perpetual childhood.'
Perhaps the extent to which we, liberals and conservatives alike, have
acquiesced to our state's parental authority shows how far along we, as a
culture, have reached Tocqueville's state of 'perpetual childhood.'"
This problem is even worse in Western Europe, a region with more elaborate
welfare states than the USA and which has lived under the American military
umbrella for generations, thus further enhancing the tendency for adolescent
behaviour.
The question, which was indirectly raised by Alexis de Tocqueville in the 1830s
in his book Democracy in America, is this: If democracy of universal suffrage
means that everybody's opinion is as good as everybody else's, will this sooner
or later turn into a society where everybody's choices are also as good as
everybody else's, which leads to cultural relativism? Tocqueville wrote at a
time when only men had the vote. Will universal suffrage also lead to a
situation where women vote themselves into possession of men's finances while
reducing their authority and creating powerful state regulation of everything?
I don't know the answer to that. What I do know is that the current situation
isn't sustainable. The absence of fatherhood has created a society full of
social pathologies, and the lack of male self-confidence has made us easy prey
for our enemies. If the West is to survive, we need to reassert a healthy dose
of male authority. In order to do so we need to roll back the welfare state.
Perhaps we need to roll back some of the excesses of Western Feminism[13], too.

Cultural Marxists, suicidal humanists or capitalist globalists are all
multiculturalists. “Multiculturalist” is a label for individuals who support
multiculturalism (what was earlier referred to as “social engineering”); the
European hate ideology which was created to destroy our European cultures,
national cohesion and Christendom (in other words Western civilisation itself).
Most people still use the more known stereotypical labels such as: ”socialists”,
collectivists, feminists, humanists, egalitarians, gay and disability activists,
animal rights activists, environmentalists etc. However, not all from the given
groups are to be considered cultural Marxists. The common factor for the
definition of cultural Marxists is their support to multiculturalism, a
political ideology which have allowed Islamic demographic warfare to be
initiated.
The group referred to as cultural Marxists/multiculturalists consist of
politicians, primarily from the alliance of European political parties known as
”the MA 100” (political parties in Western Europe who support multiculturalism)
and EU parliamentarians. They are elected and non-elected parliamentarians,
their advisors and any public and/or corporate servant who has been and still
are indirectly or directly implicated in justifying of propagating
multiculturalism.
They consist of individuals from various professional groups (but not limited
to): politicians, political advisors, leaders in various NGOs, journalists,
teachers, university professors, various school/university board members,
publicists, radio commentators, writers of fiction, cartoonists, and artists. It
also includes many individuals from professional groups such as: technicians,
scientists, doctors and even Church leaders. These intellectuals are the organs
which modern society has developed for spreading knowledge and ideas, and it is
their convictions and opinions which operate as the sieve through which all new
conceptions must pass before they can reach the masses.
The most brilliant and successful teachers are today more likely than not to be
cultural Marxists. This is not because they are more intelligent, but because a
much higher proportion of cultural Marxists among the best minds devote
themselves to those intellectual pursuits which in modern society give them a
decisive influence on public opinion. Cultural Marxists thought owes its appeal
to the young largely to its visionary character. The intellectual, by his whole
disposition, is uninterested in technical details or practical difficulties.
What appeal to him are the broad visions.
Cultural Marxism/multiculturalism has never and nowhere been at first a
working-class movement. It is a construction of theorists” and intellectuals,
“the second-hand dealers in ideas.” The typical intellectual need not possess
special knowledge of anything in particular, nor need he even be particularly
intelligent, to perform his role as intermediary in the spreading of ideas.
The free society as we have known it carries in itself the forces of its own
destruction, once freedom has been achieved it is taken for granted and ceases
to be valued, and the free growth of ideas, which is the essence of a free
society, will bring about the destruction of the foundations on which it
depends.
Two examples of the most dangerous European cultural Marxists:
1.
José Manuel Durão Barroso - European Commission president
2.
Tony Blair – possibly the future
European Commission president
Mr Barroso’s background reveals his political outlook. During his college days
he was one of the leaders of the underground Maoist MRPP (Reorganising Movement
of the Proletariat Party, later PCTP/MRPP Communist Party of the Portuguese
Workers/Revolutionary Movement of the Portuguese Proletariat).
Despite this, the Tories and the rest of their so-called “European Conservatives
and Reformists” group voted for Mr Barroso, ignoring the fact that he is one of
the greatest proponents of the Lisbon Treaty and the extension of the EU’s power
to take over almost all national rights such as foreign affairs, immigration,
border control and defence.
To illustrate this further, let’s take a look at a few of the recent news
highlights:
By Tom Whitehead, Home Affairs Editor - Published: 6:42PM BST 23 Oct 2009
Labour
threw open Britain's borders to mass immigration to help socially engineer a
"truly multicultural" country, a former Government adviser has revealed. The
allegation was made after a former Labour adviser said the Government
opened up UK borders partly to humiliate Right-wing opponents of immigration.
The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a
politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and
"rub the Right's nose in diversity", according to Andrew Neather, a former
adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.
He said Labour's relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to "open up the UK
to mass migration" but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such
a move publicly for fear it would alienate its "core working class vote".
As a result, the public argument for immigration concentrated instead on the
economic benefits and need for more migrants.
Critics said the revelations showed a "conspiracy" within Government to impose
mass immigration for "cynical" political reasons.
Mr Neather was a speech writer who worked in Downing Street for Tony Blair and
in the Home Office for Jack Straw and David Blunkett, in the early 2000s.
Writing in the Evening Standard, he
revealed the "major shift" in immigration policy came after the publication of a
policy paper from the Performance and Innovation Unit, a Downing Street think
tank based in the Cabinet Office, in 2001.
He wrote a major speech for Barbara Roche, the then immigration minister, in
2000, which was largely based on drafts of the report.
He said the final published version of the report promoted the labour market
case for immigration but unpublished versions contained additional reasons, he
said.
He wrote: "Earlier drafts I saw also included a driving political purpose: that
mass immigration was the way that the Government was going to make the UK truly
multicultural.
"I remember coming away from some discussions with the clear sense that the
policy was intended – even if this wasn't its main purpose – to rub the Right's
nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date."
The "deliberate policy", from late 2000 until "at least February last year",
when the new points based system was introduced, was to open up the UK to mass
migration, he said.
Some 2.3 million migrants have been added to the population since then,
according to Whitehall estimates quietly slipped out last month.
On Question Time on Thursday, Mr Straw was repeatedly quizzed about whether
Labour's immigration policies had left the door open for the BNP.
In his column, Mr Neather said that as well as bringing in hundreds of thousands
more migrants to plug labour market gaps, there was also a "driving political
purpose" behind immigration policy.
He defended the policy, saying mass immigration has "enriched" Britain, and made
London a more attractive and cosmopolitan place.
But he acknowledged that "nervous" ministers made no mention of the policy at
the time for fear of alienating Labour voters.
"Part by accident, part by design, the Government had created its longed-for
immigration boom.
"But ministers wouldn't talk about it. In part they probably realised the
conservatism of their core voters: while ministers might have been passionately
in favour of a more diverse society, it wasn't necessarily a debate they wanted
to have in working men's clubs in Sheffield or Sunderland."
Sir Andrew Green, chairman of the Migrationwatch think tank, said: "Now at least
the truth is out, and it's dynamite.
"Many have long suspected that mass immigration under Labour was not just a cock
up but also a conspiracy. They were right.
"This Government has admitted three million immigrants for cynical political
reasons concealed by dodgy economic camouflage."
The chairmen of the cross-party Group for Balanced Migration, MPs Frank Field
and Nicholas Soames, said: "We welcome this statement by an ex-adviser, which
the whole country knows to be true.
"It is the first beam of truth that has officially been shone on the immigration
issue in Britain."
A Home Office spokesman said: “Our new flexible points based system gives us
greater control on those coming to work or study from outside Europe, ensuring
that only those that Britain need can come.
“Britain's borders are stronger than ever before and we are rolling out ID cards
to foreign nationals, we have introduced civil penalties for those employing
illegal workers and from the end of next year our electronic border system will
monitor 95 per cent of journeys in and out of the UK.
“The British people can be confident that immigration is under control.”
It also emerged that:
• Home Office Minister Barbara Roche, who pioneered the open-door policy, wanted
to restore her Labour reputation after being attacked by Left-wingers for
condemning begging by immigrants as 'vile'.
• Civil servant Jonathan Portes, who wrote the immigration report, was a
speechwriter for Gordon Brown and is now a senior aide to Cabinet Secretary Sir
Gus O'Donnell.
• Labour chiefs decided to brand Tory leaders William Hague and Michael Howard
as racists to deter them from criticising the covert initiative.
A report, entitled Research, Development And Statistics Occasional Paper No67 -
Migration: An Economic And Social Analysis, was published in January 2001 by the
Home Office, then run by Mr Straw.
Most of its key statistics came from a PIU team led by Mr Portes. The report
paints a rosy picture of mass immigration, stating: 'There is little evidence
that native workers are harmed by migration. The broader fiscal impact is likely
to be positive because a greater proportion of migrants are of working age and
migrants have higher average wages than natives.'
It goes on: 'Most British regard immigration as having a positive effect on
British culture.'

Continuation of story:
By Melanie Phillips
So now the cat is well and truly out of the bag. For years, as the number of
immigrants to Britain shot up apparently uncontrollably, the question was how
exactly this had happened.
Was it through a fit of absent-mindedness or gross incompetence? Or was it not
inadvertent at all, but deliberate?
The latter explanation seemed just too outrageous. After all, a deliberate
policy of mass immigration would have amounted to nothing less than an attempt
to change the very make-up of this country without telling the electorate.
There could not have been a more grave abuse of the entire democratic process.
Now, however, we learn that this is exactly what did happen. The Labour
government has been engaged upon a deliberate and secret policy of national
cultural sabotage.
This astonishing revelation surfaced quite casually last weekend in a newspaper
article by one Andrew Neather. He turns out to have been a speech writer for
Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.
And it was he who wrote a landmark speech in September 2000 by the then
immigration minister, Barbara Roche, that called for a loosening of immigration
controls. But the true scope and purpose of this new policy was actively
concealed.
In its 1997 election manifesto, Labour promised 'firm control over immigration'
and in 2005 it promised a 'crackdown on abuse'. In 2001, its manifesto merely
said that the immigration rules needed to reflect changes to the economy to meet
skills shortages.
But all this concealed a monumental shift of policy. For Neather wrote that
until 'at least February last year', when a new points-based system was
introduced to limit foreign workers in response to increasing uproar, the
purpose of the policy Roche ushered in was to open up the UK to mass
immigration.
This has been achieved. Some 2.3million migrants have been added to the
population since 2001. Since 1997, the number of work permits has quadrupled to
120,000 a year.
Unless policies change, over the next 25 years some seven million more will be
added to Britain's population, a rate of growth three times as fast as took
place in the Eighties.
Such an increase is simply unsustainable. Britain is already one of the most
overcrowded countries in Europe. But now look at the real reason why this policy
was introduced, and in secret. The Government's 'driving political purpose',
wrote Neather, was 'to make the UK truly multicultural'.
It was therefore a politically motivated attempt by ministers to transform the
fundamental make-up and identity of this country. It was done to destroy the
right of the British people to live in a society defined by a common history,
religion, law, language and traditions.
It was done to destroy for ever what it means to be culturally British and to
put another 'multicultural' identity in its place. And it was done without
telling or asking the British people whether they wanted their country and their
culture to be transformed in this way.
Spitefully, one motivation by Labour ministers was 'to rub the Right's nose in
diversity and render their arguments out of date'.
Even Neather found that particular element of gratuitous Left-wing bullying to
be 'a manoeuvre too far'.
Yet apart from this, Neather sees nothing wrong in the policy he has described.
Indeed, the reason for his astonishing candour is he thinks it's something to
boast about. Mass immigration, he wrote, had provided the 'foreign nannies,
cleaners and gardeners' without whom London could hardly function.
What elitist arrogance! As if most people employ nannies, cleaners and
gardeners. And what ignorance. The argument that Britain is better off with this
level of immigration has been conclusively shown to be economically illiterate.
Neather gave the impression that most immigrants are Eastern Europeans. But
these form fewer than a quarter of all immigrants.
And the fact is that, despite his blithe assertions to the contrary, schools in
areas of very high immigration find it desperately difficult to cope with so
many children who don't even have basic English. Other services, such as health
or housing, are similarly being overwhelmed by the sheer weight of numbers.
But the most shattering revelation was that this policy of mass immigration was
not introduced to produce nannies or cleaners for the likes of Neather. It was
to destroy Britain's identity and transform it into a multicultural society
where British attributes would have no greater status than any other country's.
A measure of immigration is indeed good for a country. But this policy was not
to enhance British culture and society by broadening the mix. It was to destroy
its defining character altogether.
It also conveniently guaranteed an increasingly Labour-voting electorate since,
as a recent survey by the Electoral Commission has revealed, some 90 per cent of
black people and three-quarters of Asians vote Labour.
In Neather's hermetically sealed bubble, the benefits of mass immigration were
so overwhelming he couldn't understand why ministers had been so nervous about
it.
They were, he wrote, reluctant to discuss what increased immigration would mean,
above all to Labour's core white working class vote. So they deliberately kept
it secret.
They knew that if they told the truth about what they were doing, voters would
rise up in protest. So they kept it out of their election manifestos.
It was indeed a conspiracy to deceive the electorate into voting for them. And
yet it is these very people who have the gall to puff themselves up in
self-righteous astonishment at the rise of the BNP.
No wonder Jack Straw was so shifty on last week's Question Time when he was
asked whether it was the Government's failure to halt immigration which lay
behind increasing support for the BNP.
Now we know it was no such failure of policy. It was deliberate. For the
government of which Straw is such a long- standing member had secretly plotted
to flood the country with immigrants to change its very character and identity.
This more than any other reason is why Nick Griffin has gained so much support.
According to a YouGov poll taken after Question Time, no fewer than 22 per cent
of British voters would 'seriously consider' voting for the BNP.
That nearly one quarter of British people might vote for a neo-Nazi party with
views inimical to democracy, human rights and common decency is truly appalling.
The core reason is that for years they have watched as their country's landscape
has been transformed out of all recognition - and that politicians from all
mainstream parties have told them first that it isn't happening and second, that
they are racist bigots to object even if it is.
Now the political picture has been transformed overnight by the unguarded
candour of Andrew Neather's eye-opening superciliousness. For now we know that
Labour politicians actually caused this to happen - and did so out of total
contempt for their own core voters.
As Neather sneered, the jobs filled by immigrant workers 'certainly wouldn't be
taken by unemployed BNP voters from Barking or Burnley - fascist au pair,
anyone?'
So that's how New Labour views the white working class, supposedly the very
people it is in politics to champion. Who can wonder that its core vote is now
decamping in such large numbers to the BNP when Labour treats them like this?
Condemned out of its own mouth, it is New Labour that is responsible for the
rise of the BNP - by an act of unalloyed treachery to the entire nation.

Marx is considered to be the greatest contributor to the science of sociology
primarily due to his analysis of capitalist societies and the various alleged
injustices and economic failures that they produce, and suggested socialist
remedies. The discipline of sociology appeals to Marxists and bleeding heart
liberals who would rather blame others for their problems than take personal
ownership of these problems.
The sociology discipline is described as the revolutionary “tools for change” by
Marxist intellectuals as it contributes to institutionalise cultural
Marxism/multiculturalism. Modern sociology provides an examination of the
pivotal theories of Marx, Durkheim, Weber and Comte, the authors that have
decisively shaped the discipline.
Students of sociology are taught how the public apparatus may be used (by
deliberately manipulating statistics, and rejecting all aspects of biology) to
portray and propagate a Marxist world view. Any and all faculties of sociology
in the European world (US/Europe) are therefore in many ways Marxist
indoctrination camps where the students learn how to infiltrate public
institutions and covertly contribute to change the character of society by
presenting falsified reports and statistics.
Sociology is fundamentally anti capitalist and anti traditionalist
(anti-nationalist, -patriarchal, - Christendom) and as such; anti-European by
design. Furthermore, a large percentage (90%+) of sociologists refuse to
acknowledge biology as relevant and instead proclaim that environment is the
cause of all human behaviour.
In order to defeat one of the most devastating academic weapons of the cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists, we must destroy/ban the discipline of sociology
completely.
Sociology students are indoctrinated by learning (from a Marxist point of view)
what is wrong in the world. As such, they are transformed into academic Marxist
revolutionaries.
So why did the conservative post-WW2 European elites allow the discipline of
sociology to exist and its propagators to operate freely at our universities?
The European elites at the time, underestimated the discipline as it could not
directly affect the “important aspects/sectors” of society (according to their
definition); defence (police/military), law and finance. Needless to say, this
was a critical mistake because the discipline of Marxist sociology would later
prove to significantly contribute to shape the cultural/social structures of our
societies which lead to the 68 cultural Marxist revolts in the European world.
Apologists of sociology have successfully prevented the removal of the
discipline using the following arguments:
Sociology aims to explain what is, not what could be. The students learn about
everything that is wrong in the world (from a Marxist narrative) but NOT
“specifically” how to change it. However, as we all know the students indirectly
learn how to change our societies as they study other aspects of Marxism.
Imagine the following; the sociology students learned about what is wrong in the
world from a Nazi narrative, that the Jew is the root of all evil. Wouldn’t that
have lead them to draw their own conclusions based on the self study of Nazi
intellectual works (that the Jew had to be killed)? Of course it would.
Regardless of which ideological narrative is chosen, the student will be
brainwashed in that particular ideological direction.
The Marxist (cultural Marxist) revolutionary disciplines (disciplines of the
Frankfurt school) are not limited to sociology, however; philosophy and
journalism are highly affected by the same level of Marxist indoctrination.
Their academic weapons are to deliberate spread their falsified and corrupted
Marxist world view through statistics, reports and articles with the aim to
glorify the Marxist/multiculturalist world view and to effectively undermine
nationalistic/conservative/capitalist thought. These individuals must not be
underestimated as they are usually very influential in society (which is the
reason why 95% of them are categorised as category B traitors).

Apolitical sociologists
A small minority of sociologists are not considered traitors as they are
apolitical.
An alternative instead of a complete removal of the discipline of sociology from
academia
Instead of destroying the discipline of sociology by removing it, an alternative
approach is to completely reform it; replacing the Marxist ideological view with
a conservative/anti-Marxist by instead using ideological fundaments from the
following works/authors;
The Bible
Machiavelli
George Orwell
Thomas Hobbes
John Stuart Mill
John Locke
Adam Smith
Edmund Burke
Ayn Rand
William James
“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”
Winston Churchill
One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is
multiculturalism, so a discussion of the psychology of multiculturalists can
serve as an introduction to the discussion of the problems of Western Europe in
general.
But
what is multiculturalism or Cultural Communism? The movement is fragmented and
it is not clear who can properly be called a cultural Marxist. When we speak of
cultural Marxists in this article we have in mind mainly individuals who support
multiculturalism; socialists, collectivists, "politically correct" types,
feminists, gay and disability activists, animal rights activists,
environmentalists etc. But not everyone who is associated with one of these
movements support multiculturalism. What we are trying to get at in discussing
cultural Marxists is not so much a movement or an ideology as a psychological
type, or rather a collection of related types.
Our conception of cultural Marxists will remain a good deal less clear than we
would wish, but there doesn't seem to be any remedy for this. All we are trying
to do is indicate in a rough and approximate way the two psychological
tendencies that we believe are the main driving force of modern
multiculturalism. We by no means claim to be telling the WHOLE truth about
cultural Marxist psychology. Also, our discussion is meant to apply to modern
cultural Marxists only.
The two psychological tendencies that underlie cultural Marxists we call
"feelings of inferiority" and "over-socialisation." Feelings of inferiority are
characteristic of cultural Marxism as a whole, while over-socialisation is
characteristic only of a certain segment of cultural Marxism; but this segment
is highly influential.
Feelings of inferiority
By "feelings of inferiority" we mean not only inferiority feelings in the
strictest sense but a whole spectrum of related traits: low self-esteem,
feelings of powerlessness, depressive tendencies, defeatism, guilt, self-hatred,
etc. We argue that cultural Marxists tend to have such feelings (possibly more
or less repressed) and that these feelings are decisive in determining the
direction of cultural Marxism.
When someone interprets as derogatory almost anything that is said about him (or
about groups with whom he identifies) we conclude that he has inferiority
feelings or low self-esteem. This tendency is pronounced among minority rights
advocates, whether or not they belong to the minority groups whose rights they
defend. They are hypersensitive about the words used to designate minorities.
The terms "negro," "oriental," "handicapped" or "chick" for an African, an
Asian, a disabled person or a woman originally had no derogatory connotation.
"Broad" and "chick" were merely the feminine equivalents of "guy," "dude" or
"fellow." The negative connotations have been attached to these terms by the
activists themselves. Some animal rights advocates have gone so far as to reject
the word "pet" and insist on its replacement by "animal companion." Leftist
anthropologists go to great lengths to avoid saying anything about primitive
peoples that could conceivably be interpreted as negative.
They have now replaced the word "primitive" by "non-literate." They seem almost
paranoid about anything that might suggest that any primitive culture is
inferior to our own. (We do not mean to imply that primitive cultures ARE
inferior to ours. We merely point out the hypersensitivity of leftist
anthropologists.)
Those who are most sensitive about "politically incorrect" terminology are not
the average black ghetto-dweller, Asian immigrant, abused woman or disabled
person, but a minority of activists, many of whom do not even belong to any
"oppressed" group but come from privileged strata of society. Political
correctness has its stronghold among government employees, politicians,
university professors and journalists and publishers in government broadcasting
companies who have secure employment with comfortable salaries, and the majority
of whom are heterosexual, ethnic Europeans from middle-class families.
Many cultural Marxists have an intense identification with the problems of
groups that have an image of being weak (women), “so called” oppressed
minorities, repellent (homosexuals), and other groups in the “victim hierarchy”.
The cultural Marxists themselves feel that these groups are inferior. They would
never admit it to themselves that they have such feelings, but it is precisely
because they do see these groups as inferior that they identify with their
problems. (We do not suggest that women, Muslims, etc., ARE inferior; we are
only making a point about cultural Marxist psychology).
Feminists are desperately anxious to prove that women are as strong and capable
as men. Clearly they are nagged by a fear that women may NOT be as strong and as
capable as men.
Cultural Marxists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good
and successful. They hate Europe, America, they hate Western civilisation, they
hate white males, and they hate rationality. The reasons that cultural Marxists
give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real
motives. They SAY they hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic,
sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where these same faults appear in
socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist finds excuses for
them, or at best he GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist; whereas he
ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where
they appear in Western civilisation. Thus it is clear that these faults are not
the leftist's real motive for hating Europe, America and the West. He hates the
West because they are strong and successful.
Words like "self-confidence," "self-reliance," "initiative", "enterprise,"
"optimism," etc. play little role in the cultural Marxist vocabulary. The
leftist is anti-individualistic, pro-collectivist. He wants society to solve
everyone's needs for them, take care of them. He is not the sort of person who
has an inner sense of confidence in his own ability to solve his own problems
and satisfy his own needs. The cultural Marxist is antagonistic to the concept
of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser.
Art forms that appeal to cultural Marxist intellectuals tend to focus on
sordidness, defeat and despair, or else they take an orgiastic tone, throwing
off rational control as if there were no hope of accomplishing anything through
rational calculation and all that was left was to immerse oneself in the
sensations of the moment.
cultural Marxist philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science, objective reality
and to insist that everything is culturally relative. It is true that one can
ask serious questions about the foundations of scientific knowledge and about
how, if at all, the concept of objective reality can be defined. But it is
obvious that cultural Marxist philosophers are not simply cool-headed logicians
systematically analyzing the foundations of knowledge. They are deeply involved
emotionally in their attack on truth and reality. They attack these concepts
because of their own psychological needs. For one thing, their attack is an
outlet for hostility, and, to the extent that it is successful, it satisfies the
drive for power. More importantly, the cultural Marxist hates science and
rationality because they classify certain beliefs as true (i.e., successful,
superior) and other beliefs as false (i.e. failed, inferior). The cultural
Marxist feelings of inferiority run so deep that he/she cannot tolerate any
classification of some things as successful or superior and other things as
failed or inferior. This also underlies the rejection by many cultural Marxists
of the concept of mental illness and of the utility of IQ tests. cultural
Marxists are antagonistic to genetic explanations of human abilities or
behaviour because such explanations tend to make some persons appear superior or
inferior to others. Cultural Marxists prefer to give society the credit or blame
for an individual's ability or lack of it. Thus if a person is "inferior" it is
not his fault, but society's, because he has not been brought up properly.
The cultural Marxist is not typically the kind of person whose feelings of
inferiority make him/her a braggart, an egotist, a bully, a self-promoter, a
ruthless competitor. This kind of person has not wholly lost faith in himself.
He has a deficit in his sense of power and self-worth, but he can still conceive
of himself as having the capacity to be strong, and his efforts to make himself
strong produce his unpleasant behaviour. [1] But the cultural Marxist is too far
gone for that. His feelings of inferiority are so ingrained that he cannot
conceive of himself as individually strong and valuable; hence the collectivism
of the cultural Marxist. She can feel strong only as a member of a large
organisation or a mass movement with which she identifies herself.
Notice the masochistic tendency of cultural Marxist tactics. Cultural Marxists
protest by lying down in front of vehicles, they intentionally provoke police or
racists to abuse them, etc. These tactics may often be effective, but many
cultural Marxists use them not as a means to an end but because they PREFER
masochistic tactics. Self-hatred is a cultural Marxist trait.
Cultural Marxists may claim that their activism is motivated by compassion or by
moral principle, and moral principle does play a role for the cultural Marxist
of the over-socialised type. But compassion and moral principle cannot be the
main motives for cultural Marxist activism. Hostility is too prominent a
component of cultural Marxist behaviour; so is the drive for power. Moreover,
much cultural Marxist behaviour is not rationally calculated to be of benefit to
the people whom they claim to be trying to help. For example, if one believes
that affirmative action is good for Muslims, does it make sense to demand
affirmative action in hostile or dogmatic terms? Obviously it would be more
productive to take a diplomatic and conciliatory approach that would make at
least verbal and symbolic concessions to non-Muslims who think that affirmative
action discriminates against them. But cultural Marxist activists do not take
such an approach because it would not satisfy their emotional needs. Helping
Muslims is not their real goal. Instead, problems related to Islam serve as an
excuse for them to express their own hostility and frustrated need for power. In
doing so they actually harm Muslims, because the activists' hostile attitude
toward the non-Muslims tends to intensify the irritation or hatred.
If our society had no social problems at all, the cultural Marxists would have
to INVENT problems in order to provide themselves with an excuse for making a
fuss.
We emphasise that the foregoing does not pretend to be an accurate description
of everyone who might be considered a cultural Marxist. It is only a rough
indication of a general tendency of cultural Marxism.
By Fjordman
In
democratic societies the press, the Fourth Estate, should supposedly make sure
that the government does its job properly as well as raise issues of public
interest. In practice, we now seem to have a situation where the political
elites cooperate with the media on making sure that some topics receive
insufficient or unbalanced attention while others are simply kept off the agenda
altogether. This isn't the case with all issues but with some more than others,
especially those related to multiculturalism, mass immigration and
anti-discrimination where there seems to be a near-consensus among the elites.
Together they form a new political class. This trend is recognizable all over
the Western world, but it has become more deeply entrenched in Western Europe
than in the USA, partly because more media outlets in Europe are either
controlled by or at least sponsored by the state, but mainly because the
political class has become formalised through the European Union.
In Europe, politics is more and more becoming an empty ritual. The real
decisions are taken before the public even get a chance to vote on them, and the
media won't talk honestly about important matters. Our daily lives are run by a
bloated bureaucracy which is becoming increasingly transnational. Ever so
slowly, everyone is reduced from being an individual to being a cogwheel in a
giant machine, run by supposedly well-meaning administrators and technocrats.
They don't really care about you; they just don't want anybody to rock the boat,
so they constantly grease the bureaucratic machinery with lies.
In 2007, former German president Roman Herzog warned that parliamentary
democracy was under threat from the European Union. Between 1999 and 2004, 84
percent of the legal acts in Germany – and the majority in all EU member states
- stemmed from Brussels. According to Herzog, "EU policies suffer to an alarming
degree from a lack of democracy and a de facto suspension of the separation of
powers." Despite this, the EU was largely a non-issue during the 2005 German
elections. One gets the feeling that the real issues of substance are kept off
the table and are not subject to public debate. National elections are becoming
an increasingly empty ritual. The important issues have already been settled
beforehand behind closed doors.
As British politician Daniel Hannan says: "When all the politicians agree, the
rest of us should suspect a plot against the ordinary citizen. Without all-party
consensus – and this is true of all the Member States, not just Germany – the EU
would never have got to where it is." He believes the EU was intentionally
designed this way: "Its founding fathers understood from the first that their
audacious plan to merge the ancient nations of Europe into a single polity would
never succeed if each successive transfer of power had to be referred back to
the voters for approval. So they cunningly devised a structure where supreme
power was in the hands of appointed functionaries, immune to public opinion.
Indeed, the EU's structure is not so much undemocratic as anti-democratic."
In the eyes of American theorist Noam Chomsky, "The smart way to keep people
passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion,
but allow very lively debate within that spectrum." This is undoubtedly true,
which is why it's strange that Chomsky thinks that the Internet, currently the
freest medium of all, is "a hideous time-waster."
In June 2004, a survey showed that 50% of all Swedes wanted a more restrictive
immigration policy[1]. Mass immigration reached the highest levels in history in
2006, yet before the general elections that year, all the major parties and the
media cooperated successfully on keeping a lid on the issue. During the past few
elections in Sweden, there has been virtually no public debate about mass
immigration, but a passionate debate about "gender equality" in which almost all
contestants call themselves feminists, and only argue over which ways to
implement absolute equality between the sexes. The more suffocating the
censorship becomes regarding the problems created by Muslims, the more
discussion there is of ways to get rid of the straitjackets of heterosexuality.
This is clearly done in order to give the citizens the sense of living in an
open, free and tolerant society. Diversity of sex is used as a substitute for
diversity of political opinions.
Author Bruce Bawer describes how before the rise of maverick politician Pim
Fortuyn[2], the Dutch political scene had to a great extent been a closed club
whose members, regardless of party affiliation, shared similar views in the
widest possible sense. Most of the journalists belonged to the same club. If the
majority of the populace didn't quite agree with this cozy elite regarding the
most sensitive issues - and the most sensitive of them all was Muslim
immigration - this hardly mattered much. Since all those who were in positions
of power and influence were in basic agreement, the will of the people could
safely be ignored.
According to Bawer, "Fortuyn had been an active politician for only a few months
but had already shaken things up dramatically. Before him, Dutch politics had
been essentially a closed club whose members shared broadly similar views on
major issues and abhorred open conflict." Journalists and rival politicians
alike - notice how they worked in lockstep - responded by smearing him "as a
right-wing extremist, a racist, a new Mussolini or Hitler." Indirectly, this led
to his murder by a left-wing activist who stated that he killed Fortuyn on
behalf of Muslims because he was "dangerous" to minorities.
Later, the Islam-critic Theo van Gogh was murdered in broad daylight. As Bawer
states, "In 2006, in a crisis that brought down the government, Ms. [Ayaan]
Hirsi Ali was hounded out of Parliament by colleagues desperate to unload this
troublemaker. When she moved to Washington, D.C., last year, polls showed that
many Dutchmen wouldn't miss her. The elite, it seemed, had reasserted its power,
and the Dutch people, tired of conflict, had embraced the status quo ante. (…)
Five years ago, Fortuyn inspired widespread hope and determination. Today, all
too many Dutch citizens seem confused, fearful, and resigned to gradual
Islamisation. No wonder many of them — especially the young and educated — are
emigrating to places like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand."
Pim Fortuyn was indirectly murdered by the political, cultural and media elites
whereas Theo van Gogh was murdered by Muslims. Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been driven
from the country. Islam-critic Geert Wilders is still there , but he is subject
to similar smears as Fortuyn was about being a racist, receives daily threats
from Muslims and not-so-subtle hints from the establishment that he should tone
down his criticism of Muslim immigration. The Dutch spirit appears to have been
broken, at least for now, and things are slowly returning to normal. The
extended political elites are once again firmly in control of public debate, and
the embarrassing peasant rebellion has been successfully struck down.
I've suggested before that native Europeans face three enemies simultaneously
when fighting against the Islamisation of their lands: Enemy 1 is the
anti-Western bias of our media and academia, which is a common theme throughout
the Western world. Enemy 2 are Eurabians and EU-federalists, who deliberately
break down established nation states in favor of a pan-European superstate.
Enemy 3 are Muslims. The Netherlands from 2001 to 2007 is a clear case in point
where enemies 1, 2 and 3 have successfully cooperated on breaking down the
spirit of the native population through intimidation and censorship and by
squashing any opposition to continued mass immigration.
The fact that members of the media and the academia tend to be more, sometimes a
lot more, left-leaning politically than the average populace is well-attested
and documented in the Scandinavian countries. Senior members of the BBC in
Britain frankly admit that they are biased and champion multiculturalism in
their coverage. During the 2005 Muslim riots, it was openly stated by several
French journalists that they downplayed the coverage of the riots because they
didn't want it to benefit "right-wing parties." Judging from anecdotal
information it seems fair to assume that this trend is universal throughout the
Western world.
Bill Dedman, investigative reporter at the MSNBC, made a list of American
journalists' political campaign contributions[3] from 2004 through the first
quarter of 2007. Of the 143 journalists surveyed, 125 had donated money to the
Democratic Party. Only 16 of them had donated money to the Republican Party or
conservative causes, and two to both parties.
Dr. Chanan Naveh, who used to edit the Israel Broadcasting Authority radio's
news desk, mentioned, with no regrets, examples in which he and his colleagues
made a concerted effort to change public opinion: "Three broadcasters - Carmela
Menashe, Shelly Yechimovich [later a Labour party Knesset Member], and I -
pushed in every way possible the withdrawal from Lebanon towards 2000... I have
no doubt that we promoted an agenda of withdrawal that was a matter of public
dispute." As Charles Johnson of American anti-Jihad blog Little Green
Footballs[4] commented: "Journalists are no longer in the business of simply
reporting facts and events; increasingly, they see their job as 'activism,' and
the points of view they promote are invariably leftist and transnationalist.
Honest journalists will admit this outright, and we see the pernicious effects
of this information manipulation and filtering everywhere."
But why is the situation like this? One could claim that this is the effect of
the Western Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, or alternatively a
product of the Cold War. But if you believe the esteemed Friedrich Hayek, the
trend was discernable already in the late 1940s, before the Cold War had left a
major impact. How do we explain that ? One plausible hypothesis could be to
assume that those with conservative viewpoints will generally direct their
energies towards business and commerce, while those with left-leaning sympathies
desire to get into positions where they can influence people's minds. Over time,
this could mean that in an open society, the media , the academia and the
intelligentsia will tend to gravitate towards the political Left and become
dominated by people sympathetic towards Utopian ideas. Because of the positions
they have gained, their political bias will significantly influence what
information is presented to the general masses, and how.
In his essay The Intellectuals and Socialism, Hayek noted already around 1950
that "Socialism has never and nowhere been at first a working-class movement. It
is a construction of theorists" and intellectuals, "the secondhand dealers in
ideas. The typical intellectual need not possess special knowledge of anything
in particular, nor need he even be particularly intelligent, to perform his role
as intermediary in the spreading of ideas. The class does not consist of only
journalists, teachers, ministers, lecturers , publicists, radio commentators ,
writers of fiction , cartoonists, and artists." It also "includes many
professional men and technicians, such as scientists and doctors."
"The most brilliant and successful teachers are today more likely than not to be
socialists." According to Hayek, this is not because Socialists are more
intelligent, but because "a much higher proportion of socialists among the best
minds devote themselves to those intellectual pursuits which in modern society
give them a decisive influence on public opinion. Socialist thought owes its
appeal to the young largely to its visionary character. The intellectual, by his
whole disposition, is uninterested in technical details or practical
difficulties. What appeal to him are the broad visions."
He warns that "It may be that as a free society as we have known it carries in
itself the forces of its own destruction, that once freedom has been achieved it
is taken for granted and ceases to be valued, and that the free growth of ideas
which is the essence of a free society will bring about the destruction of the
foundations on which it depends. Does this mean that freedom is valued only when
it is lost, that the world must everywhere go through a dark phase of socialist
totalitarianism before the forces of freedom can gather strength anew? If we are
to avoid such a development, we must be able to offer a new liberal program
which appeals to the imagination. We must make the building of a free society
once more an intellectual adventure, a deed of courage."
During a conversation I had with a Swedish friend and a lady who grew up in the
Communist dictatorship of Romania, we concluded that Westerners are at least as
brainwashed by Political Correctness and multiculturalism as they ever were with
Communism. There never was a universally shared belief in multiculturalism in
Western Europe, and the percentage of True Believers is declining by the day.
Still, it is probably accurate to say that more people believed in
multiculturalism in Western Europe in 1998 than who believed in communism in
Eastern Europe in 1978. But how is that possible?
Ideological indoctrination is most effective if the people maintain the illusion
that they are free and that they are being served balanced information. Citizens
in Communist states knew that they participated in a large-scale social
experiment, and since ideological hegemony was upheld at gunpoint, this left
little room for doubt that they were being served propaganda to shore up support
for this project. Yet in the supposedly free West, we are taking part in a
gigantic social experiment of Multiculturalism, seeking to transform our entire
society, and still we refuse to acknowledge that we are being served ideological
nonsense by the media.
The differences, particularly on issues related to Jihad and immigration,
between the information reported in blogs and independent websites[5] and the
information presented to us by the established media are so great that it shocks
many ordinary citizens once it dawns upon them just how much censored propaganda
we are spoon-fed every day. This experience has shattered the myth of free,
critical and independent Western media, at least for some.
In the view of blogger Richard Landes, the media play a critical role in the
global Jihad's success. The major media outlets "are the eyes and ears of modern
civil societies. Without them we cannot know what is going on outside of our
personal sphere, with them we can make our democratic choices in elections,
assess foreign policy, and intervene humanely in the suffering around the globe.
But as any paleontologist will tell you, any creature whose eyes and ears
misinform it about the environment, will not long survive."
This can be compared to being attacked by an angry and hungry polar bear, while
your eyes and ears, the media, tell you that it's a cute koala bear who just
wants to be cuddled. Meanwhile, your brain has been indoctrinated to think happy
thoughts about diversity and smile to all creatures, regardless of their nature
or intentions. This is pretty much how the entire West is today. The heavy bias
of our media and our education system constitutes a very real threat to our
survival.

"[In the West] unpopular ideas can be silenced, and inconvenient facts kept
dark, without any need for an official ban."
George Orwell, UK writer
Why the Western media does not always report everything that is going on in the
world. How language is used to obscure the facts and mold opinion.
Living in Western Europe we are told that the news media (television,
newspapers, radio) are free. It is certainly true that there are few government
conspiracies to censor. Unlike in totalitarian countries, the media is not
generally state run or controlled. However this is not the full story. Because
the media is part of the global economy, there are certain properties that deny
readers, viewers and listeners a balanced view of world events.
There are
six
reasons why a balanced view of world events is not generally received in the
Western European media:
1. 99% of journalists support multiculturalism
This is covered already (see other chapter).
2. Media Ownership
Most newspapers, television and radio stations are owned by large and powerful
multi-national companies.
In the
USA,
NBC
and
CBS
(two television companies) are owned by international conglomerates such as
General Electric
and
Westinghouse all supporting globalism and multiculturalism.
Time-Warner
and
CNN
merged in the late 1990s to form one of the largest news and media monopolies in
the world, they too support globalism and multiculturalism.
Stories that highlight problems related to multiculturalism and globalism are
completely ignored. Stories that help the interests of the media owners and
propagate globalism and multiculturalism are given prominence.
One man,
John Malone,
owns 23% of the world's cable stations. His
Discovery
Channel
commissions programs after "market approval" and avoids "controversial
subjects". The phrase "dumbing down" has entered the language as television
concentrates on gossip and celebrity stories rather than serious issues.
The situation is similar in Western Europe. In the
UK,
News International
(a company mostly owned by
Rupert Murdoch)
owns several newspapers (including
The Times
and
The Sun),
Sky Television
(a major European satellite operator),
Star Television
(covering
Asia)
and publishers like
Harper Collins.
In 1998,
Rupert Murdoch
owned 34% of the daily newspapers and 37% of the Sunday newspapers in the
UK.
Successive
UK
governments have allowed his empire to grow in return for his media's support.
53% of
UK
newspaper and magazine distribution is controlled by just two companies,
WH Smith
and
John Menzies.
Cross-media ownership and the fact that a small number of people own so many of
our means of obtaining information is a threat as it institutionalises globalism
and multiculturalism.
3.
Advertising and ratings
"We paid $3 billion for these television stations. We will decide what the news
is. The news is what we tell you it is."
David Boylan, Station Manager WTVT, Tampa,
When the media depends on advertising, the advertisers can exert pressure. A
large media conglomerate may be able to absorb the loss of advertisers but a
smaller, alternative newspaper or radio station may be pushed out of business.
Advertisers frequently use their influence to stop stories detrimental to their
interests.
In a 1992 survey in the
UK,
150 newspaper editors stated that 90% of their advertisers had interfered with
stories; 70% of the advertisers had tried to stop stories. 40% of the editors
had succumbed to pressure from advertisers and made the changes requested.
In the
UK
in 1990, new laws meant that TV news had to make a profit. This has led to a
decline in serious news items and more emphasis on "human interest" stories and
celebrity "news". Advertisers want viewers; ratings become more important than
giving information; the news companies abandon investigative journalism to "give
the public what it wants".
Deregulation has meant that requirements to produce in-depth public affairs
programming were removed. Programs that cover "controversial" subjects are
screened at late hours or completely ignored.
As the number of commercial radio stations increases, the output becomes more
bland and more predictable.
4. News Sources
"We have relationships with reporters that have helped us turn some intelligence
failure stories into intelligence success stories. Some responses to the media
can be handled in a ... phone call."
CIA Report
News is often given out by government sources.
Statements, statistics and new policies are introduced in controlled press
conferences. Journalists who consistently question the official line too
rigorously may be excluded from access. This is bad for a newspaper which relies
on fast and fresh news.
In a conflict situation, a process called
pooling
is used to control what information is given out. A small number of journalists
(sometimes only one) are taken by the military to observe and the news is then
shared with other journalists. Journalists who attempt to obtain news
independently can be excluded from future events.
90% of the world's news comes from just three agencies:
Associated Press
(USA),
Reuters
(UK)
and
Agence France Presse
(France),
all supporting globalism and multiculturalism. Associated Press (AP)
and
Reuters
make large profits selling financial and corporate information. The "free
market" view of the world is thus very profitable. Alternate views can lose the
companies money so are rarely aired.
In television, news is supplied by four main agencies:
Reuters
and the
BBC
(from the
UK)
and
World Television Network
(WTN)
and
CNN
(from the
USA),
all supporting globalism and multiculturalism.
Reuters
supplies over 400 broadcasters in 85 countries and reaches an audience of 500
million people.
WTN
supplies news to 3,000 million people.
All the above agencies support multiculturalism and globalism. News critical of
multiculti and globalism is rarely allowed to be distributed.
As the internet is a good source of alternative news, it is expected that the
EUSSR/USASSR hegemony is likely to make a push to limit alternative coverage in
the coming decades.
5. Negative Responses
Western European multiculturalist regimes actively put their policies across by
using their loyal subjects the MSM, briefings, interviews and publications.
It is impossible to effectively criticize the multiculturalist MSM hegemony as
they make out 98% of the news companies and control 95% of the news distribution
in Western Europe. Alternative news distribution on the internet (5% and
increasing) is under attack as well and it is likely that new EUSSR “hate laws”
will make it illegal to criticise multiculturalism and Islam in the future.
6. Demonisation and Use of Language
"There are certain facts and stories from Korea that editors and publishers have
printed which were pure fabrications... Many of us who sent the stories knew
they were false, but we had to write them because they were official releases
from responsible military headquarters and were released for publication even
though the people responsible knew they were untrue."
Robert C Miller, United Press correspondent during the Korean War.
Nationalists/conservatives are always portrayed in a de-humanising manner.
Dissident views are undermined by demonising the people or organisations that
have these views.
Smear campaign describing right wing dissidents as “Fascist Geert”, etc. is
common on a pan-European, national and local level. The views of
patriots/nationalists are always undermined by depicting them as freaks
(negative highlights from their past will be used, or will be created).
Certain phrases are used to hide or distort dissident views. Dissident views are
described as
extreme
and those who hold these views as
extremists.
Others are labelled as
racists,
fascists,
Nazis,
conspiracy theorists,
militants
or other disparaging names. Their views are meant to be ignored and are rarely
argued against coherently.
When persecution is undertaken and intensified in the future by the Western
European multiculturalist regimes, the opponents are demonised and the action
justified by using a phrase such as: War on Fascism
Forces resisting the illegal Western European multiculturalist regimes are
described as terrorists or right wing extremists. The phase indigenous
resistance, resistance fighter is never as this would indicate a general
resistance to the multiculturalist regimes.
2.19 b. The Western European multiculturalist regimes subsidise multiculturalist
newspapers
People should be aware of the methods used by the Western European cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist regimes covertly subsidises its propaganda channels;
the MSM (mainstream media). The so called “free press” in Western Europe is a
myth and has never existed, despite our regimes unwavering efforts to tell us
that this is the case. In many (if not all) Western European countries, only
newspapers who support multiculturalism receives subsidy by the national regime
and this has often been the case since the ideology of cultural
Marxism/multiculturalism was implemented in the 50s, 60s or 70s (depending on
country). For Norway and Sweden it has existed since the 70s.
The following overview documents how the multiculturalist regime in Norway
subsidises multiculturalist propaganda newspapers (MSM) under an arrangement
which can only resemble that of the former USSR. And yet, the Western European
regimes dare calling themselves democratic. All newspaper opposing or critical
of multiculturalism has by default lost any opportunity to receive the same
subsidies resulting in a scenario where they struggle to provide efficient
distribution for their products and thus for the marketing of their world view.
The end result of this policy is that all media companies feel inclined to adapt
to and adopt a multiculturalist view (a majority adapted to and adopted the
“state view” during the 70s and 80s). These state subsidy arrangements is one of
several reasons why there are now extremely few newspapers in Western Europe who
are critical of multiculturalism. In many countries, such as Norway and Sweden,
there isn’t a single newspaper representing the cultural conservatives…! The
following guide illustrates how the Norwegian cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
regime undemocratically subsidises the MSM to ensure that they remain loyal and
forward the globalist/cultural Marxist/multiculturalist world view of the
Norwegian Labour Party. I have not been able to create similar overviews for all
Western European countries but I know similar practices exist in several
countries.
The following overview illustrates how the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
elites of Norway fund their propaganda channels:

* - indirect subsidy means that the newspapers do not have to pay sales tax on

Source: Numbers for direct/indirect subsidies are from 1999, daily publishing
numbers are from 2009 but are not far from 1999 numbers
http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressest%C3%B8tte
This above financial compensation,
referred to as “press subsidy” (pressestøtte) is only given to certain companies
after approval by the Norwegian Department of Culture, or more specifically: the
Norwegian Media Authority (Medietilsynet) which council consists of cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist members.
It is well known among Norwegian right
wing political “dissidents” that the specific committee in this department has a
very hostile view on all entities in opposition to multiculturalism. The only
right wing newspaper, Norge IDAG (Christian) lost their subsidy in 2008, because
the cultural Marxist committee in the Department of Culture decided that it was
“best this way”.
I have not had the capacity to research all Western European countries when it
comes to public subsidy of newspapers/news agencies in support of
multiculturalism but I assume that equivalent systems have been set up by the
other Western European regimes. Protecting their press/propaganda hegemony is
one of their primary goals and is a concealed form of dictatorship rule which is
unknown to 90% of patriotic Europeans.
The MA 100 alliance will do everything in their power to prevent the truth from
coming out.
The following article from the Norwegian News corporation, VG, dated November
20th is a typical example of so called “free journalism” in Western Europe. The
article shows two vandalised Muslim graves, allegedly perpetrated by Jews.
Jewish settlers vandalised mosque in Hebron
– 20.11.08
http://www.vg.no/nyheter/utenriks/midtosten/artikkel.php?artid=534113
What’s typical with these articles is that they are quite carefully chosen by an
unknown journalist in VG and are often just taken from larger news databases, in
this case NTB. The journalist hasn’t signed this article so it is impossible for
us to track which individual was responsible for this action but he obviously
got the approval of VG management.
This propaganda warfare has been ongoing for decades in Western Europe.
Now, when we check the Islamist database over Jihadi attacks that day located
here:
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/attacks-2008.htm
it shows that 28 individuals were killed in 5 different Jihadi attacks that day.
Let’s summarise the attacks:

Those were only the Muslim atrocities documented by that website alone. You can
most likely add that a 100-200 native Europeans were either murdered, raped,
beaten or robbed by Muslims living in Europe that day but these kind of attacks
are not politically correct to report.
The fact that Western Journalists again
and again systematically ignores serious Muslim attacks and rather focus on the
Jews only adds to the stockpile of proof that all Western journalists support
the EU’s Eurabia project, their enemy (based on coverage) is the Israeli and
also often the Russian government.
Western European journalists, editors and publishers are guilty of facilitating
Muslim crime (Jihad) by underreporting it.
These few examples of pro-Muslim propaganda illustrates that the Western
European population are spoon fed with inaccuracies every single day. There are
thousands of similar cases on a yearly basis. Obviously, not all articles about
Islam are positive, but there is a disproportional balance that indirectly or
directly protects Islam. Jihadi attacks are systematically covered up, ignored
or toned down by Western journalists. There are more than 50 Jihadi terrorist
attacks per month (on civilian targets, mostly non-Muslims). Yet, we only hear
about one or two of these, usually accompanied with a similar dose of anti
Israel/Russian propaganda to create an illusion that non-Muslims are just as
“bad” as all the Muslim nuts combined.
Jihadi attacks per month
50 Jihadi attacks on non Muslims (Usually on native Europeans and in Thailand,
Philippines, China, Dagestan, Chechnya, Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Somalia,
Algeria). Several examples are classical Jihadi beheadings (not in Europe). Not
to mention the outreach of contemporary slavery of Christians, Hindus in Muslim
countries. There are thousands of examples of non-Muslim slaves in Muslim
countries (who are slaves because they refuse to embrace Islam) and Western
journalists are systematically ignoring it. Furthermore, there are several
hundred thousand Christians and Animists in Sudan who have been systematically
killed in the greatest modern Jihad in the 21st century, with funding
of Saudi Arabia and even the US. Why do the journalists refuse to document these
atrocities?
The answer is simple. Telling the truth would undermine multiculturalism (the
Islamisation of Europe).
Western journalists and the UN are ignoring the biggest Jihadi genocide of
modern times and usually only focus on the Congo conflict instead (the Ummah
isn’t involved here so it’s a “politically correct” issue).
Ministerial orders not to use specific words – Muslim, crime, terrorist etc.
There are several guides in “political correctness” that have to be followed by
media companies and parliamentarians in some Western European countries.
An eight-page Whitehall guide lists words they should not use when talking about
terrorism in public and gives politically correct alternatives.
They are told not to refer to Muslim extremism as it links Islam to violence.
Instead, they are urged to talk about terrorism or violent extremism.
Fundamentalist and Jihadi are also banned because they make an "explicit link"
between Muslims and terror.
Ministers should say criminals, murderers or thugs instead. Radicalisation must
be called brainwashing and talking about moderate or radical Muslims is to be
avoided as it "splits the community".
Islamophobia is also out as it is received as "a slur that singles out Muslims".
The
guide, produced by the secretive Research, Information and Communications Unit
in the Home Office, tell ministers to "avoid implying that specific communities
are to blame" for terrorism. It says more than 2,000 people are engaged in
terror plots.
The guidance was branded "daft" last night by a special adviser to
ex-Communities Secretary Hazel Blears. Paul Richards said: "Unless you can
describe what you're up against, you're never going to defeat it. Ministers need
to be leading the debate on Islamic extremism and they can't do that if they
have one hand tied behind their back."
The Home Office said: "This is about using appropriate language to have
counter-terrorism impact. It would be foolish to do anything else."

Ask yourself, why haven’t the following polls and questions been raised and
presented to Europeans?
1.
Do you support mass Muslim immigration?
2.
Do you support the Islamisation of Europe?
3.
Do you trust your government’s statistics provided and their intentions in
regards to mass Muslim immigration?
4.
Do you support the implementation of the EU’s Eurabia project?
5.
Do you want Europe to merge with the Islamic world?
6.
Do you see the Islamisation as a threat to European cultures and to the future
stability of Europe?
7.
Do you support the building of mosques in Europe as long as it is illegal to
build Churches in Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries?
8.
Would you support expelling Muslims if it was proven that they preached hate or
intolerance towards non-Muslims?
9.
Would you support revoking citizenship of Muslims if it was proved that they
acted hateful towards and conspiring against non-Muslims?
10.
Would you support your government and military if they attempted to stop the
current Islamic demographic warfare (through mass Muslim immigration and average
birth rates of 3-4) being waged on Europe by the Global Islamic Ummah?
11.
Would you support the deportation of Muslims from Europe if it was proved that
they were involved in Islamic demographic warfare (through mass Muslim
immigration and average birth rates of 3-4) against Europe?
12.
Would you support the creation of armed resistance groups if it was proven that
your government and other elected officials conspired against the people by
implementing an ideology (multiculturalism) whose purpose is the eradication of
European culture, traditions, European identity, Christendom (cultural genocide)
and by allowing Islamic demographic warfare (indirect genocide of Europeans)?
13.
Would you support pre-emptive strikes initiated by these armed resistance groups
against your government if it was proven that they (and the majority of
parliament) conspired against the people by implementing an ideology whose
purpose is the eradication of European culture (cultural genocide) and by
allowing Islamic demographic warfare (indirect genocide of Europeans)?
Everyone knows how the majority would respond if these questions or polls were
presented.
An overwhelming NO, to question 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and an overwhelming YES
to 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
This is the reason why NO news
agency or government institutions have presented these questions or polls. It is
beyond doubt that the Western European governments have systematically acted
against the wishes of the majority of Europeans for decades (by systematically
acting deceitful). And they plan to continue to do so until ethnic Europeans are
no longer the majority.
When being confronted, approach all journalists with extreme prejudice. Several
overviews confirm that Western European journalists are not representative of
the opinion of the people but instead represent a cultural Marxist, humanist and
globalist world view. A Norwegian poll conducted in 2009 showed that 98% of
Norwegian journalism students supported political parties in support of
multiculturalism[1] (whereas only 50% of the native population show support),
70%+ support socialist parties (whereas only 50% of the native population show
support). As cultural conservatives and anti-multiculturalists we are by default
perceived as enemies and we should be aware of this prior to any encounter.
European news agencies are not objective in any way, they are not free. Instead,
journalists should be considered as multiculturalist political warriors and
overwhelmingly left wing political activists with a clear and defined political
agenda working systematically to contribute to safeguard the political doctrines
of multiculturalism and political correctness in general. As a cultural
conservative, agreeing to interviews unconditionally would be the same as
authorising your own “character assassination”. They will cross cut any given
interview and label you as a racist, fascist or Nazi. If there are no links to
racists, fascists or Nazis they will create these links. F example, they will
review all your facebook contacts and actively look for anyone or anything (even
small insignificant factors) in order to link you to anything or anyone racist,
fascist or nazi. If you are perceived as a political threat they will even go as
far as trying to label you as a paedophile or an insane person. When they have
decided to kill your character (or rather the credibility of your name) they
will most likely succeed. They have done this with tens of thousands of European
political dissidents already (cultural conservatives) and they will continue
with this efficient method. That is their purpose. Do not forget it and do not
allow them to succeed. These are some of the reasons why journalists are so
dangerous.
As we all know, Western Europe today lacks the balance of cultural conservative
news agencies. A majority of countries do not have any objective agencies but
are rather completely monopolised by multiculturalist agencies or rather
political entities. Unless you are a master at this game you should never give
direct interviews and you should never agree to give interviews unconditionally.
In order to protect yourself you should create clear and concise conditions
before giving comments to the press. These conditions must be signed on behalf
of the news agency (not just the specific journalist) and must apply to all
future use of the specific given comments or interview.
An example on the conditions given to a news agency:
The journalist of xxx company can present five question he/she feels are
relevant (these questions will most likely attempt to undermine you or your
cause or will provoke you to give sensitive comments which can later be quoted
out of context). The individual giving the interview will present the digital
cover images and five questions (which will indirectly/directly defend his cause
or actions). All answers are forwarded in writing (after the questions have been
forwarded to the interview object and approved by both parties).
The answers (given by the individual interviewed) to each of the ten questions
must be published without alteration. If you allow the news agency to provide
the images they will usually select unflattering samples with the goal of
acknowledging few or no good aspects of the interview object.
If the journalist does not agree to these terms there will be no interview.
These conditions must be signed by the journalist on behalf of the news agency
and must be included in the bottom of the interview (comments given in this
interview are not allowed to be quoted out of context or given entity will be
sued).
This agreement in writing should be confirmed by the individual’s lawyer or any
neutral third party.
I see tens of examples of cultural conservatives who annually “trust the good
judgment of the journalist and ends up being severely ridiculed and damaged as
he/she is being perceived as a bigot. There are too many people out there who
indirectly authorise their own “character assassination”.
Learn who your enemies are and learn to play the game!

Comment on -
From Titans To Lemmings – Part 2 (by
author of 2083):
The following essay includes an assessment and conclusions around the
anti-European or “anti-white” racist aspects of multiculturalism. At first,
I hesitated to include anything including the word race, white or ethnicity,
mainly because I instinctively dislike writing about anything related to these
words. I was brought up that way (indoctrinated in a multiculturalist system for
30 years to be more precise). Partly, I also convinced myself originally that I
was first and foremost against Islam, and that writing about skin colour (or
multiculturalism for that matter) would only complicate this fight.
In this regard I attempted to replace
the term with more compromising expressions: the words culture, native European
or ethnic group.
However, after thinking about it for some time, I find that very few of the
arguments against certain terms hold true. I am tired of ideological censorship.
We can’t really ignore some terms
entirely if we are to make a completely honest evaluation and understand the
anti-European or “anti-white” aspects of multiculturalism. In many cases, it is
simply impossible to replace the term with less “offensive” words. Generally
speaking though, Europeans usually identify using the word “European” and not
white, which is rather the preferred word in the US. The author makes several
good points and it’s essential that you read it in order to understand many
aspects of multiculturalism (European/white guilt complex). Western
nations can never mount a defence against Muslim colonisation/invasion if this
is always dismissed as “racism.” But above all, if you believe that non-white
racism exists, it is actually immoral not to deal with the problem and its
victims. I am convinced that not just non-white, but especially anti-white
racism is real and a very underestimated phenomena.
Background
In the first part of this series of essays about the suicide of Europe, I stated
that what is happening to the
indigenous peoples of Western Europe and our cultures - amounts to a
merciless and bloody genocide. Amazingly, it is a genocide in which many members
of the native Europeans are playing a willing and active part and I posed a
question:
How can a culture that created the greatest and most advanced societies in human
history, societies that held the highest hope for the whole of mankind, reach a
point where its future survival is now threatened?
The Judeo-Christian religions played an important and influential role in
building the once mighty West but we also discovered that these religions
contained a serious flaw that has sewed the seeds of the suicidal demise of the
indigenous peoples of Western Europe
and our cultures. This flaw was identified by the brilliant German
philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche who described it as "an inversion of
morality" whereby the weak, the poor, the meek, the oppressed and the
wretched are virtuous and blessed by God whereas the strong, the wealthy, the
noble and the powerful are the immoral and damned by the vengeful almighty
Yahweh for eternity.
Nietzsche, with great insight and perception, stated that Christianity would be
abandoned en masse in the twentieth century but that Westerners would still
cling to this inversion of morality. I then described how Marxists and Liberals
exploit this inversion of morality by creating large numbers of "victim
groups", groups who form minorities in Western society but whose "victim
status" is used to dictate morality to the majority. In Western - European -
societies, the weak now lead the strong, indeed, the game being played in these
societies is not to make the weak strong it is to make the strong weak.
Should any person have the temerity to criticise any one of these "victim"
groups, they will be viciously smeared and deemed guilty of numerous
hate-crimes, the new heresy of the Liberal-Multicultural religion. The plain
fact that this situation is destroying the west because it flies in the face of
Mother nature - a catastrophic mistake only the native Europeans are committing
- matters not a jot to these new pious inquisitors.
Multiculturalists prosecute their self-righteous moral crusade by proudly
championing the cause of anybody who they deem to be weak and oppressed. Blinded
by smug piety or driven by hatred for their own, they march the
indigenous peoples of Western Europe
and our cultures into the abyss as they vigorously and myopically pursue
one of the most unnatural, childish and ultimately futile illusions ever created
in human history:
Gold At The End Of The Rainbow
The core principle of liberals and multiculturalists is that everybody is equal.
In the fluffy bunny la-la land of these vain zealots, the sexes are equal; all
ethnic groups are equal; all sexuality is equal; all children are equal and
children are equal to adults; animals are equal to humans; all cultures are
equal and all religions are equal. For anybody to discriminate against anybody
else and assert superiority is to establish inequality and inequality simply
must not - indeed will not - be tolerated.
This is the utopian fantasy world of the lion lying down with the lamb in the
eternal tranquillity of Shangri La. A futile, self-destructive
pursuit of the unattainable that requires a denial of the competitive reality of
life on planet earth and a continual inversion of morality in a doomed attempt
to put right the "mistakes" committed by Mother Nature.
The pursuit of equality can be accurately summed up in a very short sentence:
Pursuing equality is to clash with Mother nature. Nature abhors a vacuum but she
also abhors equality and this is easily demonstrated.
Look at males and females. Are all males equal? Some males possess physical
strength while others are physically weak. Some are tall, some short and some
in-between. Some men possess the courage of a lion, others the courage of a
French toy poodle. Some possess great intelligence and inquiring minds, some the
gifts of craftsmanship, a lucky few possess both and sadly, many will possess
neither. Some men are born to lead, others born to follow.
Equality is just as scarce among the fairer sex. There are beautiful women who
can turn the heads of every red-blooded male and others who go about their daily
business without raising a single admiring glance. There are women who want to
be home-makers and mothers who have many children, others place their careers
before all else and do not want a family. We have women who are active and love
sport, others who prefer a more sedentary lifestyle. Then there are women who
are feisty and bubbly, others who are quiet and shy. Of course, there are many
more differences between people but the point is made.
Like it or not, men are in the main, physically stronger than women and nature
has evolved the sexes for different tasks that ensure human survival just as
nature does with all species. All men are not equal, all women are not equal and
the sexes are not and never can be equal. This does not mean that any one is any
better or has more value as a human being than any other and to suggest so is
disingenuous, spiteful and born from bitter resentment. Inequality among and
between species is simply the way life is on planet earth for all species
including humans.
Take feminism as an example. Feminists claim that women have been victims of
men, that men have oppressed women for centuries and that the sexes are equal.
Denying this will result in the smears "misogynist" and "male
chauvinist pig". But equalising the sexes has led to a crippling
feminisation of Western society and I will elaborate upon this vitally important
issue next time. But portraying women as oppressed victims and the equals of
males is one example of how the pursuit of equality is being used to destroy our
society and undermine - and therefore be in conflict with - Mother nature.
Trivial Pursuit
The pursuit of equality becomes even more futile when applied to equality of
ethnic groups. If I say:
"The black African is, by and large, physically stronger than other races and
in sports, blacks generally make the best boxers and the best sprinters and long
distance runners, I will get nods of agreement. "
But if I say: "Whites are generally more intelligent and creative than blacks
and have, throughout human history, solved the problems presented to the human
race by Mother nature far more effectively than blacks have", I will be
vilified as a racist.
Yet both statements are firmly grounded in fact.
It's a similar story with religion. If I say: "Judaism and Christianity are
two religions whose morality and values took mankind further than any other
religion and they are largely peaceful and tolerant religions", it would be
difficult to disagree with me.
But if I say: "Islam is an evil, retarded and supremacist death-cult that
refuses to afford women and unbelievers respect and the most basic of human
rights because Islam advocates violence to force submission to Allah", I
will be smeared as an "Islamophobe" and a "racist".
Not only that, I will then be - as I have been many times - subjected to the
ordeal of listening to a demented liberal blow hard irrationally shrieking that
all religions are equal, that Judaism and Christianity also have their violent
fanatics and that it's all a question of "interpretation".
A pack of lies and distortions follow all to support the childish Liberal
fantasy of equality, exactly in keeping with Nietzsche's description of
inverting morality so as to always portray the strong West as ignoble by
asserting that it only became powerful by oppressing other people. The Crusades
in particular being the favoured "trump card" in debates about Islam even
though the Crusades came in response to the massacre of Byzantine Christians by
Muslim jihadists who were surely "extremists who were not representative of
the Islamic faith."
But facts are discounted at will by devout Liberal-Multicultural disciples. They
simply have to be otherwise their utopian fantasy world of equality completely
collapses.
Smearing opponents and resorting to outright lies and distortions of history is
a necessary tactic to impose equality and it is a strategy that exposes the
weakness of those who pursue this asinine fantasy. Attempting to impose equality
is a wilful denial of reality as it places ideology before hard evidence. For
Liberal do-gooders, the fantasy of equality comes before all else therefore,
unable to rely on facts and totally enslaved by their devotion to a
deeply-flawed ideology, Liberal-Multiculturalists will outright lie and
viciously smear people who dare to question or deny equality and place reality
first.
If unsuccessful in their attempt to silence dissenters, the threat of violence
leading to actual mob violence will also be deployed as we have seen recently
after the BNP's success in the European elections.
Such irrational behaviour is much more than plain stupidity, it is concrete
evidence of psychological illness on a grand scale and it is a mental illness
only affecting the people of the white race as other races and cultures know
full well the entirely natural order of inequality.
Just how mentally ill the Liberal-Multiculturalists really are will now become
clear throughout the rest of this essay.
One Way Street
There is a glaring fact about Multiculturalism and its "all races and
cultures are equal" mantra:
Why is it that only the West plays the Multicultural game?
If all races are equal, why aren't the Chinese, the Japanese, the Koreans, the
Arabs, the Pakistanis, the Indians, the Africans all accepting masses of
immigrants into their lands and allowing alien cultures and religions to be of
equal importance to their own?
However, they do play the Multicultural game of equality but only when they
leave their own lands to invade, colonise and pilfer the affluent West. Back in
their countries of origin, their cultures, their religions and their way of life
all come first and equality - between the sexes, between the races and between
cultures - is as rare as hen's teeth!
If you doubt this, go and look for lobby groups and minority groups demanding
that white people be treated as equals in South Africa, Zimbabwe and the Middle
East. And talking of South Africa, go see if you can find blacks turning on
their own people and demonising them as "racists" for the diabolical way
blacks are persecuting whites and massacring the Boers (3060 massacred already –
[1]). Odd that such guilt-ridden Liberal groups only exist in the West isn't it?
There's more. Let's ask some more simple questions:
If all ethnical groups and all cultures are equal, why is it black Africans,
Afro-Caribbean blacks, Pakistanis, Indians, Chinese, and Eastern Europeans want
to abandon their own lands en masse to live in the lands of the West?
I mean if we're all truly equal, why does the rest of the world want to live the
Western lifestyle, a lifestyle created in the main by white people? Just why
exactly, do they want to be part of capitalism, run businesses, work for the
white man's industries, claim the white man's welfare and buy and use goods
created by the creativity and ingenuity of Western - white - people?
Why flock to another land, abandoning your own people for what the white man has
created? It can't be because other races are unable to build strong, advanced
societies because we're all equal aren't we? So therefore it must be to enjoy
the lifestyle and the culture that the white man has created which is logically
to admit human races and their cultures are most definitely not equal.
And what about the people who want to migrate to the West from the third-world
but who cannot? This is yet more evidence of the lunacy of "we're all equal"
because the strong are leaving the weak behind which just makes these already
weak societies even weaker. This is the only equality: That as mass immigration
floods the West the West becomes weaker and resembles more and more the weak
third-world.
And why-oh-why does the world want to play sports that form an integral part of
white Western culture, sports such as football, rugby, cricket, boxing? If all
cultures are equal why don't other races stick with their own systems of
business and commerce and play their own sports? Surely no one in their right
minds would say that their own systems of trade and commerce and their own
sports aren't as good as Western sports - that'd be stating inequality exists
and that the West is superior and we can't have that, oh no.
Conversely, why isn't there mass immigration from the West to Africa, China, the
Middle East? Come on, if all races and all cultures and all religions were truly
equal then this would be blatantly obvious to the rest of the world who would be
falling over themselves to welcome masses of immigrants from all over the world
into their lands to enrich their people with the delights of diversity in the
name of equality and multiculturalism.
And besides, mass immigration is fantastically "good for the economy" so
surely Africa, The Middle East, China, India, Pakistan and Eastern Europe would
benefit enormously from allowing hordes of immigrants from all over the world
but especially the advanced UK and Europe to live in their lands, with housing,
benefits and information explaining how to claim for their entitlements
published in 30 different languages all provided free of charge so they can
settle there and enrich native communities with their religions, traditions and
cultures and bring a much needed boost to their flagging economies.
This would make their less advanced societies stronger and equal to those of the
affluent West too. Can you hear a bell ring after reading this paragraph?
Let me spell it out for you loudly and clearly: If the people - whites - of the
West have created the most advanced, affluent and just societies, wouldn't it be
bloody obvious for third-world nations to begin programmes of mass-immigration
from Europe so immigrants can create in the third-world the very same prosperous
societies people from the third-world are flocking to in their millions? But
that kinsman, is not the Multicultural game. Not by a long chalk it isn't.
And well, it's funny how people from the West don't appear to be rushing to live
the African tribal lifestyle and adopt the African tribal culture. Not so funny
when you realise that black Africans have brought this violent tribal lifestyle
with its hatred for other tribes to the doorstep of Westerners. Better not
mention this somewhat inconvenient fact about African tribal culture though. You
don't want the pious, fanatical Liberal-Multicultural inquisitors accusing you
of suggesting that black African gangs - sorry, tribes - treat each other in a
way that falls a long way short of equality. What are you anyway, some kind of
racist?
Let me share something else with you. It is very, very easy to be pious about
equality and multiculturalism when you live in an advanced, wealthy society. It
is far less easy to eulogise about Multiculturalism and equality when you live
in a violent, unjust and less advanced poverty-stricken society. Maybe this
explains why we don't see many ranting Multicultural disciples demanding the
imposition of equality in countries such as Iran. They know as well as you do
what would happen if they tried to. Such is the folly of claiming equality
between peoples and cultures.
And there's even more folly about this ridiculous pursuit of equality.
A Very Unequal Equality
Not only is multiculturalism a one-way street with the rest of the world
flocking into the West and changing it dramatically whilst the nations of these
immigrants retain their identities and cultures, the doctrine of
Multiculturalism is only ever applied against Western - make that white -
people.
Identity politics is a good example of this. Blacks, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs,
Hindus, Chinese, Pakistanis, Indians - all of these people and more are allowed
to form their own special groups with the aim of protecting and furthering their
own interests based entirely on race or creed.
Yet if indigenous Westerners form their own special interest group - for example
The British National Party or the Belgian Vlaams Belang - they
will be outrageously and hypocritically vilified as "racists" and "fascists"
yet not once has any other identity group - for example the Black Police
Officer's Association or even better, the Muslim Council of Britain,
an organisation which promotes one of the most evil and supremacist ideologies
ever created by mankind - ever been vilified as "racists" or "fascists".
And what may I ask, is so equal about the "Music of Black Origin" awards?
Strange that sanctimonious Liberals screaming "racists!" are curiously
absent at this overtly racist, unequal event isn't it?
Yet the slightest excuse to label whites as "racist" is continually
sought. Even toddlers who refuse to eat spicy food in nurseries end up facing
the wrath of the puritanical Multicultural inquisitors who will insist the
parents make their family more "racially aware and sensitive towards other
races and cultures."
Tellingly, when black gang members stab each other or gang rape a white teenage
girl or when Muslim jihadists blow up buses and trains filled with innocent
people the first concern of the guardians of multiculturalism will be to
minimise the racial aspect of these events - i.e. deny the reality - and lame
excuses such as "it's because of poverty" or the Marxist classic "it's
because they are oppressed by an institutionally racist society" will be
spewed out by these simpering Liberal apologists.
Yet conversely, if a group of white men were to gang rape a black teenage girl -
well, you know exactly how this would be depicted as well as I do.
You tell me - how can equality exist in Liberal-Multicultural la-la land if the
standards promoted by Liberals are only ever applied towards whites? This
blatant and contradictory application occurs because these self-righteous
Multiculturalists firmly believe that only white people can be racist because
whites are always depicted as strong and powerful and other races are always
portrayed as oppressed victims. So Liberal-Multiculturalists knowingly,
deliberately and therefore treacherously distort, misrepresent and outright lie
about racist or violent acts committed by non-whites.
How obvious does it have to be for them to realise that this is hard evidence,
clear proof of the folly of pursuing equality between the races? Because if we
were all equal wouldn't other races be upholding, promoting and living by these
universally moral Multicultural standards of equality and be keen to see them
applied to their own racists and criminals? But as we know, facts don't matter,
only the fantasy of equality for all does.
This double standard is also evident on the world political stage. Why is it we
see leaders from the West fawning over the third-world, uttering trite and
meaningless platitudes along with grovelling apologies for how badly the West
has behaved throughout history? Isn't it strange how these leaders, elected in
the West on policies of multiculturalism and racial equality never, ever promote
these policies to people of the third world? For example, not once has any
Western leader made a speech to the Middle East saying:
"We now live in a Multicultural global
society. The Arabian peoples of the Middle East must come to realise that all
people are equal and must allow people of all colours and all faiths to build
communities and settle in peace in your countries. The present attitude of
Muslims towards women and peoples of other faiths is racist and oppressive, it
is an apartheid that must end and the international community demands an end to
this injustice."
Isn't that more or less what the West said about South Africa and Rhodesia? A
Marxist-Liberal West who piously demanded an end to apartheid backed up with the
imposition of sanctions from the UN and exclusion from the world's sporting
community.
If we're all truly equal, then shouldn't the Middle East - and other
non-multicultural nations - also be treated in the same way? And in such nations
I include the modern South Africa, "The Rainbow Nation", where under
black rule the Marxist ANC are viciously persecuting whites and where the Boers
are facing a murderous genocide and where poignantly, let's not forget, many
black people are now suffering far more than they ever did under apartheid.
It is so obvious even a blind man from planet blind could see it:
Multiculturalism and the fantasy world of equality only apply to the West and it
is applied using exactly the moral inversion predicted by Nietzsche that we have
been discussing in these essays. It is a widespread madness that is, without
doubt, leading the entire white race into the abyss.
A Grand Deception
The folly of multiculturalism and its mantra of equality is one of the biggest
con-tricks ever played on a people. All of the main political parties promote
Multiculturalism, the corrupt EUSSR is working to enforce equality and
multiculturalism by law, all of the Western media with very few exceptions
endorse Multiculturalism and of course, most of the worshipped, fame-craving
celebrities in the West also support multiculturalism and this really should
clue one in as to how absolutely ridiculous the pursuit of equality is.
Here we have an elite group of people who are waxing lyrical about
Multiculturalism and equality yet they do not live or act as equals. From
corrupt, thieving politicians who abuse the trust of the very people who voted
for them by stealing tax payer's money to line their own greedy pockets, to
self-righteous, condescending idiots like Billy Bragg and Ross Kemp
who continually brand BNP supporters as "racists and fascists" yet do
not live in "enriched" Multicultural towns such as Glodwick, Leicester or
Brixton. These hypocrites are the modern day "do as I say not as I do"
ranting preachers of the Liberal-Multicultural religion. They are living proof
that some people not only are more equal than others but firmly BELIEVE
they are more equal than others.
They talk the talk to get what they want, they sure as hell do not walk the walk
and they have no intention of so doing. Equality is not for them and they have
made that abundantly clear.
And the gullible and the naive masses lap up every drop of this putrid
Multicultural vomit spoon-fed to them by an elite who hold their own people in
utter contempt and who see the people as useful-idiots and cash-cows to be
milked for all they're worth. But delirious Liberal-Multiculturalists blinded by
their own self-righteousness fall for the con and enslave themselves to the
Liberal-Multicultural ideology and engage in a futile, childish and
self-destructive pursuit of equality at the behest of their profiteering,
deceitful masters. They'd have more success finding a pot of gold at the end of
the rainbow.
Such is the questionable mental state of Liberal-Multiculturalists and their
conviction in equality of races, cultures and sexes. They are completely blind
to the fact that those who are promoting and preaching the virtues of
multiculturalism and equality simply don't live it. The privileged elite who
have brought Multiculturalism to the West could afford to conduct an experiment
on society and not suffer the consequences of their stupidity and hypocrisy.
Many of them have made fortunes by promoting and enforcing this evil, unnatural
ideology that is dismantling British communities and destroying Western
societies.
It simply doesn't occur to the devout Liberal disciples that it's ever so easy
to feel pity for other people and spout equality and multiculturalism when you
live in a country mansion, eat the finest foods, drive a Bentley and luxuriate
in the celebrity lifestyle.
It's also easy for upper middle-class Liberals living in leafy suburbs and safe,
decent neighbourhoods, who drive nice cars, wear the trendiest designer clothes
and eulogise about the wonders of Multiculturalism at dinner parties because
they've dined at Armenian and Japanese restaurants, regularly order
home-delivered curries from the nearest Pakistani sweet shop and send fifty quid
to "Africans In Need Yet Again" charities twice a year. For these
mollycoddled strangers to reality, that is the meaning of multiculturalism and
equality.
They are blissfully unaware of the benefits of diversity being endured by their
less-fortunate kin living in enriched British cities where they have to compete
with swarms of immigrants to obtain work at the lowest possible wage. Britons
whose kids are bullied and pressed into gang culture where their teenage years
will be spent in a fog of intoxication, either blind drunk on cheap alcohol or
high-as-kites on heroin, weed or worse, crack cocaine.
Britons whose teenage daughters are being sexually abused and gang raped by
various races who hate whites. These are the expendable indigenous Britons, an
unequal underclass who are living the nightmare reality of Multiculturalism that
was imposed upon them without their consent and who know precisely what the
benefits of enrichment and diversity truly are.
Such Britons are the lab-rats of the Marxist-Multicultural social experiment.
Many of them have not had the opportunity to benefit from a good education and
they have been repeatedly betrayed by traitors whom they trusted with their
precious vote to speak up for them and protect their communities.
For these Britons, the harsh reality of multiculturalism hits hard and they most
definitely are not treated or regarded as equals. They suffer the consequences
of the hypocrisy and the stupidity committed by hypocritical elites who can
afford the luxury of avoiding the disastrous consequences arising from their
pernicious social experiment.
These unequal Britons who endure the horrors of Multiculturalism every day also
know all too well the real meaning of diversity: It is nothing less than the
deliberate destruction of their way of life and the systematic breakdown of
their communities by state-sponsored ethnic cleansing combined with a
bloodthirsty genocide committed by hate-filled, anti-white, racist immigrants.
These are the British people who suffer the consequences of multiculturalism so
those who do not can appear virtuous and righteous with their "we're all equal"
mantra whilst acting as superiors who feather their own nests and lie and
deceive at every turn to protect their own selfish interests.
All people are equal? Please. Don't make me laugh. Or weep.
Conclusion
Just
as Nietzsche foresaw, the Godless religion of Marxism, with its evil twin spawns
Liberalism and Multiculturalism, works by creating "victim groups" who
are then used to destroy Western society by inverting morality and demanding
more and more from society to compensate for their unjust oppression.
Equality is used to support the cause of these victims. From equality of the
sexes to equality of the races, Marxists need victims for their rotten ideology
to flourish. It is a sick dependency that brainwashes people to believe they are
weak victims whose "injustice" and "unequal status" is morally wrong and that
the strong oppressors - the white race - must be made to pay for their immoral,
unfair superiority. To say it is "The Mother of all guilt-trips" puts it
mildly.
Yet this pursuit of equality only occurs in Western, Liberal-Multicultural
societies and the rest of the world only plays the equality game when masses of
third-world immigrants flood the West or when former first-world African nations
become third world nations under black rule who demand more and more from white
communities to pay for the "injustice" of apartheid and white colonial
rule.
The attitude of the third-world to the West - make that white people - is simply
this: What's yours is ours and what is ours is our own. It is a despicable
attitude that is reducing the West to a life-support machine for other less
advanced races yet if the indigenous people of the West were to adopt this
unequal attitude, they would be vilified by other races along with self-loathing
Liberal-Multiculturalists from their own race as "racists" and "haters".
Such a hypocritical and weak attitude just encourages millions of blacks,
Orientals and Asians to become parasites who dine at the abundant table of the
West for free. They jealously want what the white man has created, they deem it
their right to have what the white man has because he only got it by oppressing
other races and yet they continue to contribute little - if anything - of any
real worth to advance the entire human race.
And the more the pious Liberal-Multicultural disciples scream "we're all
equal" the more glaringly unequal nature reveals us to be. Such arrogant,
misguided fools are akin to King Canute who tried to halt the tide but who came
to realise his folly and was humbled by his attempt to battle Mother nature:
"Let all men know how empty and
worthless is the power of kings, for there is none worthy of the name, but He
whom heaven, earth, and sea obey by eternal laws."
For the last fifty years, the white race has arrogantly refused to obey these
eternal laws and it will pay a heavy price unless it comes to realise the
futility of continually fighting against Mother nature. King Canute
realised it and other human races continue to realise it but whether or not the
crack-brained Liberal-Multicultural disciples have the humility to realise their
folly of battling with Mother nature is quite another matter.
But be in no doubt whatsoever that Mother nature will demand they pay the
heaviest price for their arrogance and she will not care one iota if the entire
white race has to pay too. Mother nature knows not pity as even self-righteous
Liberal-Multiculturalists will find to their cost, you can be completely assured
of that.

By D.L. Adams
There are two critical impediments that prevent the West from engaging
effectively, or at all, in this existential conflict with Islam. Ignorance and
multiculturalism (proto-legitimised moral relativism) must be deconstructed and
delegitimised.
It is a moral and ethical failure to be ignorant of the purposes and doctrine of
political Islam. Ignorance of an existential enemy is shameful and indefensible.
Multiculturalism must be exposed for the disastrous pseudo-philosophy of
ignorance that it is. Founded upon ignorance and silly utopian
anti-intellectualism, multiculturalism prevents us from responding to political
Islam because to do so in our morally bankrupt multicultural world is seen as
intolerance. Defending your nation from cultural and literal annihilation is not
“intolerance” it is the height of patriotism and rationality.
The fundamental dual concepts of multiculturalism are “tolerance” and
“inclusiveness”. These very “nice” concepts are founded upon the idea that all
cultures are of equal value and that differences between cultures are to be
applauded and “accepted” rather than condemned when such condemnation is
appropriate. The idea that a culture can be corrupt or even evil is dismissed as
“bigotry” in the multiculturalist’s broken anti-knowledge world.
Multiculturalism is the soiled garden in which Islam grows.
People who know the doctrine of political Islam and have the effrontery to
discuss it in public are accused of bigotry by multiculturalists and the
ignorant. The doctrine of political Islam as found in Sira, Koran, and Hadith is
inherently intolerant and exclusive but this does not deter the
multiculturalists. There is an unspoken superiority in their world; they believe
themselves superior because they are so inclusive, accepting, and “nice”. The
forces of evil see this welcoming inclusiveness from the cultures of the West as
the actions of fools. These foolish actions are of great value to political
Islam because in their false feelings of superiority multiculturalists are the
perfect “dhimmis” for Islam, perfect servents of a totalitarian ideology whose
purposes are entirely destructive of inclusiveness and tolerance.
Multiculturalists are anti-knowledge useful idiots for the forces of cultural
and literal annihilation that is Islam.
There has long been a concept very popular in the United States regarding
immigration and assimilation which is that if we show new-comers to our shores
how nice, welcoming, and good we are, they will all become Americans. This model
has worked for generations with European, Asian, South Americans and immigrants
from across the world. Islam does not fit this model.
The model has failed because Islam does not assimilate. Islam does not
assimilate because Islam is about submission. The word “Islam” translates to
“submission”. Adherents of the so-called “religion of peace” are not interested
in assimilation, they are interested only in bringing the entire world under
Allah’s “religion”. For adherents of this miserable and cruel political ideology
of hate and conquest only one religion, one political system, and one culture is
allowed – that of Allah and Mohammed. All other religions, cultures, and
political systems are to be annihilated.
Because multiculturalists are willfully ignorant about the cultures that they
defend – to them all cultures (no matter how abysmal they may be) are worthy of
defence simply because they are “different” – Islam sees that the cultures of
the West cannot defend themselves against them.
In fact, multiculturalism is the tool by which Islam infiltrates our
institutions and political systems. Islam is at war with all non-believers
everywhere and forever, this is called “jihad” or “fighting in Allah’s cause”.
Jihad is so foundational to Islam that it is mentioned over 150 times in the
text of the Koran. Because multiculturalists have no need to know anything about
any culture (after all, all cultures are “equal” therefore knowledge of any one
culture is of little necessity, value, or import) they do not understand that
they are under attack.
Multiculturalism and ignorance, the two walk hand in hand together, are the
greatest weaknesses of the cultures of the West.
The model of assimilation has failed. It has failed because resurgent Islam and
its jihad has no interest in assimilation. Multiculturalists do not know this,
and when they are told the truth, they refuse obstinately to believe it.
Acceptance of the truth of Islam is to accept the failure of the fundamental
concepts of multiculturalism.
We in the West must judge cultures and adherents to such cultures when we make
immigration decisions. We must accept the literal truth that some cultures are
unpleasant and have belief systems that are contrary to ours. The idea that
everyone loves freedom is a broken and confused concept. It is a ruined shell
because in Islam the only freedom that is considered of value is the complete
submission to Allah and Mohammed (and the doctrine of Islam). Islam sees freedom
in total submission to the doctrine of Islam.
When we open our doors to Islam, we open ourselves and our nations to forces
that reject our concepts of tolerance and inclusiveness. This is the absurdity
and horror of multiculturalism- it is a failed philosophy of self-destruction.
We must learn the doctrine of Islam. Knowledge of the doctrine is akin to having
the “playbook” of the opposing team in a sporting match. But this is not sport
for us, it is about nothing less than our existential survival as non-Islamic
countries and cultures. We must learn the doctrine of Islam to dispel our
ignorance of Islam. Without knowledge of Islam we cannot oppose it; without
knowledge some do not even realise that they are at war with us and therefore we
are at war with them.
The banishment of ignorance through knowledge is critically important if we are
to survive as freedom-loving, tolerant, and “nice” cultures. It is a patriotic
duty to learn the doctrine of Islam and educate others about it.
We must destroy multiculturalism; deconstruct it, delegitimise it, and
acknowledge it as the Utopian self-destructive fantasy that it is. All cultures
are not equivalent. Some cultures are better than others, and some are our
enemies and some our friends. This is reasonable, rational thinking. The
foundational concept of multiculturalism is that all cultures are of equal value
and worth. This is inclusiveness, tolerance, and “niceness” taken to the
extreme. This is anti-intellectualism and irrational thinking that will result
in the entire loss of our civilisations. Multiculturalism must be destroyed and
swept into the dustbin of absurdity where it belongs.
Failure to destroy multiculturalism, delegitimise it and its adherents as the
intellectual imposters and fools that they are is a national failure whose
consequences are beyond unpleasant. Multiculturalism is the tool by which Islam
gains access to our countries for the purpose of the destruction of the host
culture.
The doctrine of Islam is clear on these points as are the adherents of the
so-called “religion of peace”. Jihad is a responsibility for all Muslims. It is
the command of both Allah and Mohammed. Mulsims who do Jihad are “good” Muslims
because they follow the commands of Allah and Mohammed; those who do not do
jihad are “extremists” because they reject the commands of the doctrine of
Islam. Those who reject jihad are perfect fodder for jihadists because they are
not “good” Muslims. This concept must be understood clearly. Our conceptions of
good/evil, right/wrong do not apply in the Islamic worldview.
Multiculturalism must be destroyed. Multiculturalists must be mocked and
criticised for the self-destructive fools that they are. Their philosophy is
used by our enemies to gain entree and power in our institutions and cultures.
Multiculturalists, in their Utopian ignorance, are tools of the enemy – their
philosophy must be rejected, repudiated, and deconstructed so that rational
thought can again be the dominant mode of thought across the West. To do any
less is failure.
When we know nothing of Islam, we lose. When we say that all cultures are
equivalent and we can no longer identify good and evil, right and wrong, we
lose. Ignorance of Islam is not acceptable; it is a moral and ethical failure.
Multiculturalism is a tool of Islam; it is a disastrous ideology of false “nice”
that is used to stifle critical thought and open debate. Multiculturalism is a
complete failure as it is used by our enemies to destroy us. It is a failed fake
intellectual concept for “nice” people to abjure their responsibilities to
themselves, their cultures and countries. Multiculturalism must be destroyed.
"The 20th century has been characterised by three developments of great
political importance. The growth of democracy; the growth of corporate power;
and the growth of corporate propaganda against democracy."

More companies are now giving in to Muslim pressure[1] over Geert Wilders’
Islam-critical movie. I keep bashing Marxists in my writings, and they usually
deserve it[2]. I honestly believe it is impossible to write anything meaningful
about what ails the West without taking the prolonged and highly destructive
influences of Marxism into account.
Yet Marxists are not powerful enough by themselves to generate all the problems
we are now facing. You would have to be pretty blind not to see the importance
of business ties in relations between the West and the Islamic world, certainly
in the case of Europe and the Middle East, but also with the United States and
Saudi Arabia. Money makes the world go around, after all. One does not have to
be a Socialist to see that the short-term interests of Big Business are not
always identical to the long-term interests of the nation as a whole, especially
not when it comes to immigration. Multinational corporations, which by their
very definition have loyalty towards no nation, should not be allowed to direct
national immigration policies.
Is capitalism always a force for freedom? It is easy for “conservatives” to
think so, but is it always true?
There are several perspectives one can use when trying to understand the
European Union, for instance. One is that it is somehow related to the Communist
utopia and the unaccountable, transnational bureaucracy of the Soviet Union.
This does make some sense, but on the other hand, the EU cannot be properly
understood simply as a Marxist organisation. It has always held the backing of
Big Business interests who want easy access to greater markets. They do not
automatically care about national sovereignty or borders, which are vital to the
continued existence of any truly free society.
I am particularly concerned over the recent attempts by various Western
corporations to appease Islamic demands for sharia censorship. Both regarding
the Danish cartoons and the Wilders movie in Holland, business interests have
been among the most prominent in denouncing these attempts to defend Western
freedoms because they care only about their market shares and not about the
wider issues.
When we also know that many companies support mass immigration because they want
easy access to cheap labour, including Muslim immigration, this means that they
contribute to Islamisation, at home and abroad. Can we then say that capitalism
is always a force for freedom? I think not. As Thomas Jefferson said, “Merchants
have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an
attachment as that from which they draw their gains.”
Dutch companies have given into a Jordanian boycott by placing newspapers
advertisements condemning the film Fitna[3]
De Volkskrant reports that Dutch companies have given into a Jordanian boycott.
The companies Zwanenberg and Friesland Foods have placed advertisements in
Jordanian newspapers saying they oppose the film Fitna by populist politician
Geert Wilders.
Last week the group ‘The Messenger of Allah Unites Us’ brought a case against
Wilders in a Jordanian court, accusing him of racism and incitement to hate
Muslims. Wilders said he feared Jordan would issue an international warrant for
his arrest.
The group, which had already mounted a boycott of Danish products because of the
Muhammad cartoons, also began a boycott of Dutch companies. De Volkskrant tells
us:
“On Wednesday all travel agencies in Amman received a letter asking that they
not do business with KLM. The letter will also be distributed in other Arab
countries.”
The chairman of the Messenger of Allah Unites Us, Zakaria Sheikh, says he has
printed a million posters calling for a boycott of Dutch products. He says the
only way Dutch companies can get themselves off the list is to take out ads in
newspapers condemning the film.
In its advertisement, the Zwanenberg Food Group says it “rejects the opinions
and statements” in Wilders’ film. “We strongly condemn the anti-Islam comments
which we believe don’t have any other purpose than to insult.”
The company also expressed its “Solidarity with the campaign by The Messenger of
Allah Unites Us in its attempts to pass international legislation banning
insults to religion, including Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be with
Him).”
From the Brussels Journal[4]:
VNO-NCW, the Federation of Dutch Employers, has ordered its lawyers to see
whether it is possible to claim damages from Mr Wilders for the loss of income
which Dutch companies may possibly suffer as a result of a boycott of Dutch
products by Muslims who are angry at Mr Wilders and at the fact that the Dutch
have not been able to shut him up. “Companies like Shell, Philips and Unilever
are easy to recognise as Dutch companies,” VNO-NCW chairman Bernard Wientjes
told the newspaper Het Financieele Dagblad. “I do not know how rich Geert
Wilders is, or how well insured he is, but if we suffer from a boycott, we will
investigate whether it is possible to claim damages from him.” Last November,
Doekle Terpstra, a member of the board of Unilever, called upon the Dutch to
“rise in order to stop Wilders” because “Geert Wilders is evil and evil has to
be stopped.”

By John Laughland
In Britain, the House of Lords has reported[1] that the economic impact of
immigration is minimal and has concluded that it ought to be capped. The report
is seen as a decisive defeat for the government’s long-held view that
immigration boosts the economy by increasing production.
The Lords have found that, while the total size of the economy does rise when
there is high net immigration, this does not mean that prosperity as such rises.
Per capita GDP remains the same. In other words, the size of the economy rises
only to the extent that there are more people in the country than before. The
economic benefit of mass immigration is zero.
The social costs, of course, are very considerable. The most significant of
these is the impact on the cost of housing[2]. The report finds, among other
things, that if the present rate of immigration continues, then the average
property will cost 10.5 times the average income in 2031. Eight years ago, the
ratio was 4 and now it is 6.5.
The inflation of property prices causes immense social and economic damage,
although Britain’s numerous property owners have for years deluded themselves
that they are getting richer because their houses go up in price so
spectacularly. When property rises in cost, the whole economy suffers since all
businesses need premises from which to operate. Families suffer, too, because
people have fewer children if they cannot afford enough bedrooms to put them in.
The Lords’ report is a huge vindication for the brave campaigning of Sir Andrew
Green, Chairman of Migration Watch[3], and someone whom I have the honour to
know personally. Since immigration exploded when New Labour came to power, this
former Ambassador to Saudi Arabia has managed brilliantly to put immigration on
the agenda without ever giving off so much as the slightest hint of racism. On
the contrary, his measured tones and careful statistics have ensured that he is
listened to with great respect[4]. The report is nothing less than a total
vindication of everything he has been saying for years.
Why, then, has there been such a firm lobby in favour of immigration for so
long? The answer lies in one of the most arresting facts about modern politics –
a fact which, in my view, even the most redoubtable experts like Andrew Green
have perhaps not quite taken on board. I refer to the unlikely alliance between
big business and the New Left.
This alliance reached its apogee under Tony Blair, who was known for his slavish
admiration for rich people whose hospitality he so often enjoyed for free. But
it extended throughout New Labour. Peter Hain, the onetime anti-apartheid
campaigner, a man whose progressive credentials could hardly be more immaculate,
had to resign in February[5] because he had accepted £100,000 from a
pharmaceutical magnate, one of whose companies is facing prosecution for the
biggest fraud ever alleged in the United Kingdom.
The alliance between big business and the New Left is not, however, based merely
on the greed, opportunism and venality of politicians, or on the desire of big
companies to buy political influence. Instead, it is based on ideology.
Specifically, big business is in favour of immigration not only because it
drives down wages – allowing profits to remain high without companies actually
having to sell more products – but also because it is culturally in favour of
multiculturalism.
The entire ethic of post Cold War globalisation, indeed, is profoundly
anti-national. The multinational corporation, like Marx’s worker, “has no
country”: the modern international corporate executive is more at home in an
airport departure lounge or a Hilton hotel than in a village pub. He scorns any
notion that the legislative framework of a state should give preference to the
fixed inhabitants of that state, and instead tells the government that he will
simply re-locate, like some disembodied spirit, to another part of the world if
the tax regime is not favourable to him. To put it bluntly, multinational
companies are vehicles of cosmopolitanism, every bit as powerful and influential
as the more intellectual proponents of multiculturalism and the end of the
nation-state.
The big corporation likes immigration because immigrants drive down wages and
are typically not unionised. Big companies do not care if immigrants do not pay
taxes, or if they make extra demands on schools and hospitals, because the state
picks up the bill for that. They do not care if there is general inflation, or
sector-specific inflation such as in property, because they have their eye on
next year’s bottom line, and on their Christmas bonus, not on what will happen a
generation hence. Big companies operate on the principle “privatise the profits,
socialise the losses”, demanding that policies be pursued which increase their
income because the costs are passed onto the taxpayer and society at large.
As Pat Buchanan argued brilliantly in The
Death of the West, economic history shows that periods of high immigration
do not coincide with periods of high economic growth. Japan grew spectacularly
in the period 1955 – 1993 but immigration over that time was zero. The periods
when America’s prosperity has risen are those when immigration has been low; the
economy stalls, by contrast, when it is high.
Ever since Mrs Thatcher, the predominant ethic in British politics has been
pro-business. The slogan is “free trade”, but that is not the same thing. Of
course it was necessary in the early 1980s to free Britain from the excessive
shackles which the trades unions represented; but, in domestic politics as in
diplomacy, there are no permanent victories, especially not if political parties
stop thinking, as the Tory part did long ago. So deeply entrenched has “free
trade” now become that it is a taboo which unites the whole political class. Any
suggestion that the activities of business should be limited or directed by the
state is dismissed as Luddite economics, reactionary thinking worthy of a
flat-earther.
In fact, Britain and many other European states are themselves just as much in
hock to the demands of big business now as they were to the labour movement a
generation ago. The pendulum has now swung too far in the opposite direction.
Let us hope that the breaking of the taboo of immigration will mark the moment
at which it starts to swing slowly back.

Ten years of record immigration to Britain has produced virtually no economic
benefits for the country, a parliamentary inquiry has found.
A House of Lords committee, which is due to report next Tuesday, will call into
question Government claims that foreign workers add £6 billion each year to the
wealth of the nation.
It is expected to say this must be balanced against the increase in population
and their use of local services such as health and education, resulting in
little benefit per head of the population.
"Our overall conclusion is that the economic benefits of net immigration to the
resident population are small and close to zero in the long run," the report
will say.
The findings of the Lords economics committee threaten to demolish the key
argument made by ministers to justify the highest levels of immigration in the
country's history.
The inquiry by the committee, which includes two former chancellors and several
former Cabinet ministers, is the first to try to balance the costs and benefits
of large-scale immigration.
The population is increasing by more than 190,000 every year, largely as a
result of immigration.
Foreign workers now make up 12.5 per cent of the labour force, compared with 7.4
per cent a decade ago. Critics say Labour lost control of the borders, issued
too many work permits and should not have opened up the labour market to eastern
Europe.
However, ministers say that without large-scale immigration there would have
been slower economic growth.
A Whitehall paper produced for the committee said average output growth over the
past five years was 2.7 per cent a year and migration contributed an estimated
15 to 20 per cent of this. The Government said this indicated a contribution of
£6 billion - or £700,000 a day- from foreign workers.
However, the committee's final report is expected to say the Government should
have focused on the impact of immigration on GDP per head, not the economy as a
whole.
David Coleman, a professor of demography at Oxford University, said in his
evidence to the committee that the Government had excluded costs from crime,
security, the race relations process, health "tourism" and imported ailments
such as TB.
Richard Pearson, a visiting professor at the University of Sussex's Centre for
Migration Research, said: "While migrants have clearly helped alleviate often
long-standing skill shortages, they have also filled many low-skilled jobs,
often at very low wages.
"These migrants are likely to be displacing, and reducing the incentive on
employers to recruit and train low-skilled, indigenous workers.''

Increased crime alone would wipe out any economic benefit. There are several
thousand native Europeans lying in graves who would be alive today if it were
not for mass immigration. There are tens of thousands of living ones who have
suffered vicious immigration crime. Millions more are going to suffer in the
future, because this disaster will not be reversed overnight.
------
Unfettered and indiscriminate immigration also creates a voter base for those in
power. In the US, the Republicans favor immigration because of big
business, yes, but the Democrats favor it because they want their votes.
So, the former wants it because of greed. The latter wants it because of
power.

Do gang rapes boost GDP? Was that an offensive question, you say? Well,
according to Sweden's finance minister Pär Nuder[1], more immigrants should be
allowed into Sweden in order to safeguard the welfare system. However, in
reality estimates indicate that immigration costs Sweden at least 40 to 50
billion Swedish kroner every year, probably several hundred billions, and has
greatly contributed to bringing the Swedish welfare state to the brink of
bankruptcy[2]. An estimated cost of immigration of 225 billion Swedish kroner in
2004, which is not unlikely, would equal 17.5% of Sweden's tax income that year,
a heavy burden in a country which already has some of the highest levels of
taxation in the world.
At the same time, the number of rape charges[3] in Sweden has quadrupled in just
above twenty years. Rape cases involving children under the age of 15 are six
times as common today as they were a generation ago. Resident aliens from
Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia dominate the group of rape suspects. Lawyer
Ann Christine Hjelm, who has investigated violent crimes in one court, found
that 85 per cent of the convicted rapists were born on foreign soil or by
foreign parents. Swedish politicians want to continue Muslim immigration because
it boosts the economy, yet the evidence so far indicates that it mainly boosts
the number of gang rapes. Meanwhile, research shows that fear of honour killings
is a very real issue for many immigrant girls in Sweden. 100.000 young Swedish
girls[4] live as virtual prisoners of their own families.
An ever growing group of non-western immigrants in Norway is dependent on
welfare[5]. This was the conclusion of a study by Tyra Ekhaugen[6] of the Frisch
Centre for Economic Research and the University of Oslo. Ekhaugen's research
contradicted the often heard assertion that Norway's labour market depends
increasingly on immigrants. The study indicated quite the reverse. If the
present evolution continues, immigration will increase[7] the pressure on the
welfare state rather than relieving it because many immigrants do not join the
tax-paying part of the population. "Non-Western immigrants" in Norway are
recipients of social security benefits ten times[8] as frequently as native
Norwegians. If we remember that "non-Western immigrants" include Chinese,
Indians and other non-Muslims who are known for (and statistically proven to be)
hard working, this speaks volumes of the heavy burden Muslims constitute on the
welfare state.
Journalist Halvor Tjønn[9] from newspaper Aftenposten, one of the few genuinely
critical journalists in the country, in June 2006 cited a report from NHO, the
Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise. NHO stated that the current immigration
policies were a serious threat to the country's economy. Norway is the planet's
third largest exporter of oil, next to Saudi Arabia and Russia. Yet according to
NHO, there is a risk that much of the profit Norway earns from oil could be
spent on paying welfare for a rapidly growing immigrant population. The most
profitable immigration would be high-skilled workers who stay for period of
limited duration, but at the same time not too brief. A Danish think tank has
estimated that the net cost of immigration was up to 50 billion kroner every
year, and those were cautious estimates. Denmark could thus save huge sums by
stopping immigration[10] from less developed countries. A study found that every
other immigrant from the Third World -- especially from Muslim countries --
lacked the qualifications for even the most menial jobs[11] on the organised
Danish labour market.
Professor Kjetil Storesletten at the University of Oslo said that the net
contribution of immigrants to the economy was probably negative in Norway, too.
"Admitting immigrants with low levels of education leads nowhere. We cannot
continue the immigration policies we have followed until now," said
Storesletten. In Norway, social benefits and salaries for low-skilled workers
are among the highest in the world. At the same time, the salaries for highly
skilled workers are comparatively lower and the taxes are high. This compressed
salary structure is the result of decades of Socialist policies in Scandinavia.
It leads to attracting people with lower skills and little education, but also
makes the countries less attractive for researchers and scientists. Still, the
agency that handles immigration to Norway, UDI, in 2005 thought that the country
must make it more attractive for both skilled and unskilled workers[12] to move
to Norway. "We need more immigrants," claimed UDI chief Trygve Nordby. "Too few
dare to say that we have a large need for non-professional workers as well," he
said. UDI, in turn, should be able to have more flexibility in deciding cases,
and process cases more quickly and efficiently. As it turned out later, the
bureaucrats of UDI were in fact so "flexible" that they had been running their
own, private immigration policies, and that the agency's liberal interpretation
of asylum rules had "stretched the boundaries" of the law. UDI violated both the
law and political directives when it granted residency permits to nearly 200
Iraqi Kurds[13] in the fall of 2005. A commission that probed the controversial
permits blasted the former head of UDI, Trygve Nordby, and his successor
resigned[14]. More than half[15] of the social security benefits in the city of
Oslo are spent of non-Western immigrants, a portion that has grown tremendously
over the years. City council leader Erling Lae[16] warns against prejudice and
states that without immigrants, there would be "complete chaos" in Oslo.
Meanwhile, Norwegian newspapers are worried that online debates are "flooded
with racist comments" about Muslims. One of the racist comments they mentioned
was this one: "A large number of Muslims out of their own, free will choose to
live in parallel societies where they speak their mother tongue, watch foreign
TV, despise the society they have moved to and pick spouses from their original
homelands. The only contact they have with the natives is in the social security
office."
"The debate is often coloured by ignorance. It is not a human right to be heard
at any given time. It requires a certain minimum of social intelligence to be
allowed to participate in the public debate," says Esten O. Sæther, online
editor of the Leftist, pro-Multicultural newspaper Dagbladet[17]. Sæther warns
that the newspapers may have to impose stricter censorship on their online
discussion forums and the comments to online articles. However, Dagbladet seems
to have little understanding of why so many people are fed up with Muslims and
their demands. Neither have they admitted that they were wrong in their
one-sided praise of the positive effects of Muslim immigration for decades, nor
apologised for demonising the right-wing Progress Party and its leader Carl I.
Hagen throughout the 90s for their "racism" for questioning the real costs of
this immigration.
On the contrary, although information about the costs of Muslim immigration has
been available for several years, this was a non-issue
in Norwegian media prior to the national elections in 2005. Instead, they were
focusing on "poverty" in Norway and the need for increased welfare spending.
This in a country that is among the wealthiest in the world and which provides
its citizens with the highest social security benefits in Europe. Norway's media
coverage of the national elections revealed a desire for a Leftist government,
said Election expert Aarebrot[18], a professor at the Institute for Comparative
Politics at the University of Bergen. He argued that, with few exceptions, most
of Norway's media leans to the left politically. "Most newspapers are what I
would call politically correct. By politically correct in Norway today I mean
slightly radical, urban and liberal," Aarebrot said. Nearly 70 percent of
journalists vote Labour (Ap), Socialist Left (SV) or Red Electoral Alliance (RV)
according to a poll, and this is reflected in the press, Aarebrot said.
Oslo will have a non-Western majority in a few decades, if the current trends
continue. There are now several researchers who predict that in Norway, Sweden
and Denmark, the native population and their descendants will become a minority
in their own country within this century. The only question is when. Since the
Islamic Jihad usually enters a much more aggressive and physical phase once the
Muslim population reaches 10 – 20% of the total in any given area, this does not
bode well for the future of the urban regions in Scandinavia. Will they turn out
different from similar regions in Thailand, the Philippines or Nigeria?
Admittedly, part of the problem lies with the Western European welfare state
system itself[19] and cannot be blamed on the immigrants alone. Iranian Nima
Sanandaji tells of his family's meeting with the Swedish system[20]: "In Sweden
my family encountered a political system that seemed very strange. The
interpreter told us that Sweden is a country where the government will put a
check into your mailbox each month if you don't work. She explained that there
was no reason to get a job." "Although my mother got several jobs, we concluded
that this really didn't improve our family's economy. During the sixteen years
we have been in Sweden, my mother has in total worked less than one year."
However, part of the problem is also due to the mentality of some of the Muslims
who move there, yet display no loyalty to their new countries. Immigrant men who
divorce their wives according to secular law, but stay married to them according
to sharia, Islamic law, represent an increasing problem in the city of Odense,
Denmark[21], according to Erik Simonsen, deputy major in charge of
administration. The result is a large number of "single" women who receive
welfare support. From other countries, it is known that some Muslim men to do
this trick with several women at the same time. Some observers blamed the Muslim
riots in France in 2005, accurately described by writer Mark Steyn as the "first
welfare funded Jihad in history," on polygamy practiced by Muslim men, paid for
by French taxpayers. But also immigrants who are financially independent are
cheating, says Simonsen. "80 percent of the immigrant economy in Odense is a
black market economy. That's a lot, and it cannot be tolerated, because the law
is equal for all."
As one Muslim in Norway stated[22]: "I worked in a Pakistani shop, but all of
the work there is 'unofficial.' Neither the boss nor I pay taxes to Norwegian
authorities. In addition to this, I receive 100% disability benefits and
welfare. I have to be cunning to make as much money as possible, since this is
my only objective with being in Norway." Undoubtedly, many Muslims view welfare
money from the infidels as Jizya, the poll-tax non-Muslims according to the
Koran are supposed to pay to Muslims as tribute and a sign of their inferior
status and submission to Islamic rule. In Britain, one member of an Islamic
group warned an undercover reporter against getting a job because it would be
contributing to the kuffar[23] (non-Muslim) system.
One of the reasons for the low participation in the work force among Muslims is
a very high drop out rate from schools, especially for boys. Although Muslims
themselves blame this on "poor integration efforts" and "marginalisation," some
of them are actively obstructing their kids' education, lest they become too
much like the infidels. Thousands of Muslim children with Scandinavian
citizenship are sent to Koran schools in Pakistan and other countries, to
prevent them from becoming "too Westernised." When this practice was documented
and criticised by the Norwegian organisation Human Rights Service[24],
Pakistanis in Norway had the galls to ask for a school for their children in
Pakistan[25], funded by Norwegian taxpayers. They will probably get it.
According to the Copenhagen Post, in Denmark when the country's schools open
their doors again after the summer holidays, not every student is there to
enter. Some schools report one in every five students missing from the
schoolrooms[26]. Daily newspaper Berlingske Tidende reported that some children
had not returned from vacation in their homelands with their parents. 'When
students are kept away from school start, it's a big problem for their
integration and can affect the children's educational level,' said Integration
Minister Rikke Hvilshøj. She said a committee would discuss methods to get
parents to send their children to school from day one. 'These are children who
have problems beforehand following what's going on at school,' Hvilshøj said.
'Not being there when the school year starts won't make it any easier. We need
to make parents understand that if their children are to get a good chance in
Denmark, they need to make sure that they are there when school starts.' Author
and journalist Rushy Rahsid said she had often gone on long vacations to
Pakistan with her parents as a child. 'Families go on such long trips to give
their children a healthy dose of religion, culture, traditions, and family,' she
said. 'If you buy a very expensive ticket, you want to take full advantage of
the trip and meet the entire family.'
Not that the problems always disappear when they actually attend school, either.
Going to school is no child's game for many children in Copenhagen, where
beatings, kicks[27], robberies, and threats have everyday occurrences. The
perpetrators are normally their own age. Violence and threats pose such a big
problem in high schools in Malmö, Sweden[28], that the local school board wants
to install surveillance cameras and security guards in the buildings. The city's
education director Matz Nilsson said unruly and aggressive students had become a
more common sight in the high schools of Malmö, the home of some of
Scandinavia's biggest and roughest slums.
In the spring of 2006, police were deployed at a Berlin school[29] after
teachers complained that they could not cope with their students' aggression and
disrespect. A teacher who recently left the school told the Tagesspiegel
newspaper that ethnic Arab pupils[30] were bullying ethnic Turks, Germans and
other nationalities. "School for them," said Petra Eggebrecht, former director
of the Rütli school, "is simply a place to fight for peer recognition, where
young criminals become idols." Young people are also easy targets for Islamist
organisations. Outside the Rütli school, the children greeted visitors in
Arabic.
When reporters went to school[31] they were pelted with paving stones by masked
youths from the schoolyard as the district's mayor stood helplessly at the
entrance of the building. An increasing problem in German schools is that Arab
male students often refuse to respect the authority of women teachers. Students
at the Ruetli Hauptschule were not shy about expressing their views to
reporters. "The German (students) brown nose us, pay for things for us and stuff
like that, so that we don't smash in their faces." But there are also conflicts
between Arab and Turkish students, mirrored in battles between the city's
foreign-dominated youth gangs. Integration of foreign youths in Berlin is often
poor. Even second and third generation children frequently do not speak fluent
German and many fail to complete school - all of which leads to a high jobless
rate among immigrant youths. White German families are moving out of districts
like Neukoelln.
Muslim immigration has led to a spike in organised and violent crime, too. As
early as 2002, Lars Hedegaard together with Dr. Daniel Pipes[32] wrote about how
Third-world immigrants - most of them Muslims from countries such as Turkey,
Somalia, Pakistan, Lebanon and Iraq - constituted less than 5 percent of the
population but consumed upwards of 40 percent of the welfare spending. What's
worse, however, is that Muslims were only 4 percent of Denmark's 5.4 million
people but made up a majority of the country's convicted rapists, an especially
combustible issue given that practically all the female victims were non-Muslim.
Similar, if lesser, disproportions were found in other crimes.
In 2005, it was reported that 82 percent[33] of crimes in Copenhagen were
committed by immigrants or descendants of immigrants, and the police pressed
charges against second-generation immigrants five times as[34] frequently per
capita as against ethnic Danes. Doormen working in the Danish capital are now
often armed with guns or clubs so as to be able to defend themselves against
violent immigrant gangs[35]. There is more violence than ever before and some
immigrant gangs have even been known to seek out doormen at their private homes.
Immigrant criminal gangs are much more active than previously believed, and
their brutality has them surpassing biker crime gangs[36] like the Hell's Angels
or Bandidos, the State Police said. A Norwegian researcher warned that ethnic
gangs could give Norway the kind of immigrant-related organised crime[37] that
had previously been unknown in Scandinavia. Arne Johannessen[38] from the
Norwegian Police Organisation warned in 2003 that the cost of crime may have
been doubled during the previous decade, in part due to immigration.
In Sweden, there has been a steep rise in all kinds of crime and violence[39] at
the same time as an unprecedented amount of immigration to the country. Of
course, Swedish politicians would never dream of connecting the two. However, in
one of those rare cases where a Swedish newspaper has actually told the truth,
Aftonbladet revealed that 9 out of the 10[40] most criminal ethnic groups in
Sweden were Muslims, a trend known from other European countries such as France,
where Muslims make up 10% of the general population, but maybe 70% of the prison
population. The number of people under the age of 18 who are serving sentences
in juvenile detention centres in Sweden has risen sharply over the last five
years.
Not that Western European prisons will scare immigrant children too much. The
relaxed regime at a prison housing some of Holland's most dangerous[41]
criminals has caused controversy. Pictures of tattooed prisoners enjoying a
"social evening" and beer embarrassed the authorities which are sensitive to
claims abroad that they are soft on crime. One inmate at Esserheem serving 14
years for murder said: "We have a party every weekend in our own prison bar. We
can enjoy wonderful snacks, ice cream, beers, play cards or billiards and listen
to music. If the weather is warm we can play tennis." Another prisoner spoke of
"perfect" fresh food and said: "We can buy everything in the prison shop
including sushi and sake." In the Netherlands[42], the economic argument
deployed by both leftwing multiculturalists and free-market conservatives - that
immigration revives aging populations, provides new labour resources, and
generates entrepreneurial activity – "simply does not apply." There has been no
overall economic benefit to population change since unskilled guest workers were
invited to the Netherlands in the early 1970s. According to Paul Scheffer, a
leading critic of multiculturalism and professor of urban sociology at Amsterdam
University, up to 60% of first-generation Turkish and Moroccan populations are
unemployed.
Andrew Bostom, editor of The Legacy of
Jihad, quotes the observations made by Dr. Muqtedar Khan, a much-ballyhooed
Muslim moderate from the U.S., after a trip to Belgium[43]. Even Khan admitted
the largesse of Belgium's welfare state towards its Muslims: "…the welfare check
was normally 70 percent to 80 percent of the salary. For those [Muslims] who
were married with children, welfare provided comfortable living and with low
property values, even those on welfare could actually own homes." American
expatriate writer Bruce Bawer, living in Norway, has documented in his book
While Europe Slept how Oslo imams
preach brazenly that Muslims should expect these welfare benefits—and feel
justified in supplementing them by stealing from stores—as a form of jizya
extracted from their infidel "host" societies. As Bostom points, out, "such
attitudes, whatever their origins, raise this larger basic question: why does
the West continue to validate the raw, imbalanced bigotry that denies
non-Muslims any access to Mecca and Medina—upon pain of imprisonment, torture,
and death—while Muslims demand and are granted the ability to settle, with
generous accommodations, within Europe or America?"
Indeed, some of the Muslims are actively involved in supporting Jihad
activities, verbally or physically. Mullah Krekar is convicted of terrorism in
Jordan[44], he has been suspected of links to the Madrid terrorists[45], and the
CIA claims he has been ordering bombings[46] in Iraq. He has lived off Norwegian
welfare money in Oslo for years, and reputedly gets a lot of free taxi rides
from Muslim cab drivers who think he's a great guy. Norway's most controversial
refugee has lodged a threat against the country[47] that has hosted him and his
family for the past 14 years. Mullah Krekar continues to fight deportation back
to Iraq, and calls any such order "an offense" that should be punished. "I
defend my rights in their court just like Western people defend their rights. I
am patient like they are patient. But if my patience runs out, I will react like
Orientals do." Asked how "Orientals" react, Krekar said: "I don't want to
comment on that." Krekar has also spoken positively about terrorist leader Osama
bin Laden and the recently killed Iraqi al-Qaida leader Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi[48].
In Britain, the police have been investigating allegations that the four
suspected London bombers[49] from July 2005 collected more than £500,000 in
benefits payments. The suspects are supposed to have used multiple aliases and
addresses. One, Mr Ibrahim, is said to have had six aliases. Some are also shown
to have claimed several nationalities, ages and national insurance numbers while
in Britain. Investigators believe that bogus names were used to make some
benefit claims. Two are also alleged to have obtained asylum using bogus
passports and false names and nationalities. Mr Ibrahim, alleged to be the
Hackney bus bomber, is believed to have used two dates of birth, six aliases,
two national insurance numbers and two addresses. Mr Osman apparently went under
five names, variously claimed that he was Eritrean or Somali, and used four
addresses in southwest London. Mr Omar, 24, who is linked with the attack on a
Tube train near Warren Street, had five aliases.
The London Times[50] quoted a report that expressed fears that Britain was
"sleepwalking its way to apartheid" due to increased ethnic segregation. The
paper, which took into account the background of the four July 7 suicide bombers
who attacked London, pointed to social and economic deprivation as key drivers
in their conversion to terrorism, ignoring the numerous calls for violent Jihad
in the Koran and the hadith. It found that the Muslim community was the most
"disadvantaged" faith group in the country, with lower educational attainment
and higher unemployment. The document found that the unemployment rate among
Britain's 1.6m Muslims was more than three times that of the general population
and was the highest of all faith groups. About half of all Muslims were
economically inactive (52%). That was higher than any other religious group.
DP111, an articulate British commentator at such websites as Jihad Watch, Little
Green Footballs and Fjordman blog, points out that as Muslim families are very
large, a single wage earner will find it hard to support all. They will need to
supplement this by getting considerable benefits from the state. Thus at a
minimum, "some 80% of the Muslim population" subsists on welfare benefits: "A
considerable amount of this money to Muslims from the British taxpayer, finds
its way to finance the Jihad. The same scenario must hold in all European states
that have a considerable Muslim population." "We are in the ridiculous position
of sheltering and feeding a population that is hell bent on destroying us.
Islam's people, from the very outset, were nothing but a collective to gain
plunder and loot at the expense of other people's work. In the past, it was
conducted by war, conquest and then pillage. Now it is conducted by immigration
(invasion), begging or crime. Meanwhile Muslim nations are given huge loans
(aid), which we and they know will never be repaid. Thus, from a purely economic
point of view, Islam seems to be a collective of people who live by the ethos of
"beg, borrow or steal." So why do we, the capitalist countries, who do not
believe in offering anyone a free lunch, subsidise the most lazy yet aggressive
bunch of people on God's planet, who are bent on subverting our democratic
system? The nub is, how has it come about, that the natural progression of the
most advanced civilisation on earth is towards stupidity?"
He also points out that the cost of Muslim immigration is much higher than just
welfare. "One really needs to factor the loss of confidence in the markets, loss
of new investment because of a fear of flying or the disenchantment with
intrusive security. Then there is the increased cost of insurance on all
businesses." All this affects the competitivess of business with nations that do
not have a significant Islamic presence, such as Japan, Korea and Taiwan. We may
be talking of million dollars or more per Muslim individual per year. "And to
top it all, we give them huge amounts of aid, welfare benefits on a grand scale,
while we live in fear, and our freedoms compromised."
Former Muslim Ali Sina[51] claims that even in the USA, which has a smaller
Muslim population and less social security benefits than Western Europe, Muslims
are a huge drain on the economy: "Because about 2 million Muslims live in
America and among them there are some who are terrorists, Americans are forced
to expend hundreds of billions of dollars on homeland security. I have no idea
how much is the actual cost. Let us be conservative and say it costs only $200
billion dollars per year. In reality it could be many times more. Does anyone
have any idea? With just $200 billion dollars, every Muslim, including their
children cost the taxpayers $100,000 dollars per year. This is the real
"contribution" of Muslims to America Mr. President. Once you add the cost of the
real damage caused in terrorist attacks, such as to planes, buildings, etc. this
cost will be much higher. And here we are only talking about monetary cost. Can
anyone calculate the cost that the families of the victims of terrorism pay?
What is true in America is true in anywhere governments are forced to expend
money to increase the security."
Bat Ye'or in her book Eurabia - The
Euro-Arab Axis describes how we are in the middle of a total transformation
of Europe, which is the result of an intentional policy. In an interview with
Israeli newspaper Haaretz[52], Bat Ye'or fears that Europe will become more and
more Islamised until it becomes "a political satellite of the Arab and Muslim
world." "The European leaders have decided on an alliance with the Arab world,
through which they have committed to accept the Arab and Muslim approach toward
the United States and Israel. This is not only with respect to foreign policy,
but also on issues engaging European society from within, such as immigration,
the integration of the immigrants and the idea that Islam is part of Europe."
Former French PM Charles de Gaulle, disappointed by the loss of the French
colonies in Africa and the Middle East, as well as with France's waning
influence in the international arena, in the 1960's decided to create a
strategic alliance with the Arab and Muslim world to compete with the dominance
of the United States and the Soviet Union. This alliance became the position of
the European Community (pre-European Union) during the course of the 1970s, when
an extensive European-Arab dialogue developed. However, this alliance, in the
context of which Europe allowed the immigration of millions of Muslims to its
territories and adopted an anti-Israeli and anti-American policy, will
ultimately "transform Europe into a continent under the thumb of the Arab and
Muslim world."
As Bat Ye'or points out, most of the workings of Eurabia are hidden from the
public view, but sometimes we can catch glimpses of it if we know what to look
for. Italian Leftist PM Romano Prodi, President of the European Commission, the
Politburo of the EUSSR, from 1999 to 2004, wants more cooperation with Arab
countries. He talks about a free trade zone with the Arab world, but this
implies the four freedoms of the EU, which includes the free movement of people.
This is made clear in a document from 2003[53]. This fact, and the implications
of it, is virtually never mentioned in European media. During the Sixth Euro-Med
Ministerial Conference in Brussels, 2003, it is stated that this initiative
offers the EU's neighbouring partners "gradual integration into the expanded
European internal market and the possibility of ultimately reaching the EU's
four fundamental freedoms: free movement of goods, services, capital and
people." Ministers were also expected to back the Commission's proposal to set
up a Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue of Cultures, a
Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly and a reinforced European Investment
Bank (EIB).
In June 2006, after his Leftist coalition government signalised that they would
be much more lenient with Muslim immigration to Italy, Romano Prodi announced
that "It's time to look south and relaunch a new policy of cooperation[54] for
the Mediterranean." He was thinking of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership,
launched in 1994 in Barcelona. Prodi said he had raised the issue with Egyptian
president Hosni Mubarak, and Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. The prime minister
then explained that the Barcelona Process – which includes the creation of a
free trade zone by 2010 - was no longer sufficient and a new different approach
was needed. "The countries on the southern shores of the Mediterranean expect
that from us" he added.
Muslim immigration is costing enormous sums and creating havoc across Western
Europe, and EU leaders are working to give Muslims easier access to Europe –
because Arabs expect this from them. Thank you for pointing this out, Mr. Prodi.
And thank you for removing all doubts whether the European Union needs to be
dismantled[55], and its treacherous and corrupt political elites removed from
power.

Sura 9 Verse 29
Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid
that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger.
… and fight against those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e.,
Islam) among the People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay
the Jizyah (Tax for Jews/Christians) with willing submission and feel themselves
subdued.
Sura 9 Verse 5
Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them. …But if they repent and accept
Islam … then leave their way free.
Islam has systematically murdered more than 300 million individuals (Yes
three-hundred-million), 3/4 Hindu/Buddhist, Animist/Pagan 1/4 Christian/Jewish/
Zoroastrian and enslaved more than 300 million the last 1400 years. This isnt
"history", its continuing while we speak on multiple fronts around the world!
The Jihads and genocides are continuing as we speak all over the world
Asia
Jihad in Afghanistan
(Muslims vs. Hindus and Sikhs)
Afghanistan ethnic cleansing in 1992. When the Islamic fundamentalist regime of
the Mujahadeens came to power in 1992, tens of thousands of Hindus and Sikhs
from Kabul, became refugees, and had to pay steep ransom to enter into Pakistan
without a visa.

Jihad in Chechnya and Dagestan
In August and September of 1999, Shamil Basayev (in association with the Saudi
born Khattab, Commander of the Mujahedeen) led two armies of up to 1,400
Chechen, Dagestani, Arab and Kazakh militants from Chechnya into the
neighbouring Republic of Dagestan. The purpose was to help local separatist
rebels who were attacking Russian Federation forces in the villages of Kadar,
Karamakhi, and Chabanmakhi. By mid-September 1999, the militants were routed
from the villages and pushed back into Chechnya. At least several hundred people
were killed in the fighting; the Federal side reported 279 servicemen killed and
approximately 900 wounded.

Jihad against Armenia
Current situation:
One of the biggest problems in Armenia is maintaining a replacement birth rate.
Lack of support from Europe. Pressure from Muslim Azerbaijan and Turkey.
Jihad in Turkey
Examples:
In a way, the Hellenic Genocide
still didn't end, as its few survivors are persecuted
right now in all territories
ruled by the Turks, especially in Constantinople and Imvros. For instance, in
Imvros, in 1999, a six years old Greek boy was
burned alive by the Turks. The
Orthodox Patriarchate, located
in Constantinople, which has a similar meaning as the
Vatican, is attacked often. The
rights of the few survivors of the
Hellenic Genocide are shamefully denied. The
Treaty of Lausanne is
continually disrespected. Even the frequent invasions by Turkey of the airspace
and the territorial sea of Greece (which amount to
hundreds every year), can be
considered reflexes of its extermination policy. If for the Turkish rulers, the
Greeks don't have the right to live, they don't have
any rights.
Jihad in Iraq
(Muslims vs. Christians and Jews)
Attacks on Churches in Iraq (2004-2008)
The first church bombing occurred on June 26, 2004, and drew little attention.
Two unidentified men in a silver Opel throw a hand bomb at the Holy Spirit
Church in Mosul. Five weeks later, on August 1st, 2004, coordinated bombings
struck five churches, four in Baghdad and 1 in Mosul.
52 churches have been attacked from
June 26, 2004 until the January 6, 2008.

Jihad in Bangladesh
(Muslims vs. Hindus)
Bangladesh has a population of about 120 million, nearly 88 percent of whom
are Muslim.
Examples:
The HRCBM, a Santa Clara-based organisation that investigates and exposes
human rights violations in Bangladesh, has recorded a few outrages against
Hindus in Bangladesh during 2000:
On March 29, 2000, Malarani Roy of Karagola village was abducted by Muslims. She
was brutally beaten up and gang-raped. The local police found her, but refused
to register a case. On June 26, a group of Muslims directed Smriti Rani Saha of
Sirajganj town to migrate to India. When she refused, she was abducted,
gang-raped and brutally murdered. On May 28, Debasish Saha of Poradaha was
fatally shot by a Muslim gang. On June 4, Mayaram Tripura of Balipara was shot
dead by local Muslims. On October 6, 2000, Muslim devotees, after offering
namaaz at the Gajipur Jama Masjid, strolled across to the Hindu Kali temple,
destroyed the puja pandal, smashed the idols, and looted nearby
Hindu-owned shops.

Jihad in West-China, Xinjiang
(Muslims vs. Buddhists)
Uighur Islamists have waged a low-level campaign against Chinese rule for
decades.Turkestan Islamic Party seek to create an Islamic republic for the
Muslim Uighur people. Western media have condemned the actions of the Chinese
government counter-campaigns against the “poor outnumbered rebels”.
Africa
Jihad in Egypt
Jihad against Christian Copts.
Egypt also support the Jihad in Sudan. They see a Muslim Sudan not as an
enemy but as an ally in the future conflict with Ethiopia
Jihad in Marocco, Algeria, Tunisia Libya[1]
In Marocco, Algeria and Libya Christianity has died out due to centuries of
Genocides, persecutions and harsh forms of dhimmitude. Judaism on the other hand
survived but only barely[1].
Racist Jihad is still ongoing
(Arabisation). As an illustration;
In Libya, there are routinely murderous riots against black Africans (in one of
which
a diplomat from Chad was hung from a pole in Tripoli and left dangling for
the edification and delight of spectators)[2].

Jihad in Nigeria
Christians are under assault in every single country where Islam is present.
They have been under assault, most famously, in Nigeria, where in 1967 the
Christian Ibos, far more advanced and industrious than their Muslim overlords,
rebelled and declared the independence of the State of Biafra. The proximate
cause were the mass murders by Muslims of Christian Ibo all over northern
Nigeria. But the Western world did nothing to help the Christian Ibo, while the
Muslims, including Egyptian pilots and planes that strafed Ibo villages, killing
tens of thousands of helpless villagers, did provide aid. Only two countries in
the world recognised Biafra: Israel and Ghana (Kwame Nkrumah, Osagyefo, if he
did not always understand economics, did understand Islam). In 1969, in his
famous Ahiara Declaration, the leader of Biafra, Colonel Ojukwu, explained that
the main reason for the Biafran fight was to defend the Christians against, as
he put it, the "jihad" being conducted against it. That jihad by the Muslims who
control the military and have largely stolen the oil wealth of Nigeria (with a
little help from some islamochristians willing to collaborate) continues today.
Western Europe has done nothing to help the Biafrans in their fight for
independence after repeated widespread jihad-massacres of Christians.

Jihad in Cote d'Ivoire and Togo
The Christians are under siege in the Cote d'Ivoire and in Togo. The more
advanced southerners, the Ewe tribe whose territory cuts across national borders
are fleeing from the Islamic menace.
Racist Jihad against blacks in Mali and Mauretania
(Arabisation)
Black Africans are enslaved in Mali and Mauritania, but not a syllable of
protest has come from the Arab League about this, though both countries are
members of that league.
Black non-Arab Muslims (or nominal Muslims) are being killed, their cattle
destroyed, their huts and houses burned, their women raped, their men all
killed. And every single person who has lived to testify has talked of how the
various Arab marauders say that "they are black and must be killed." Imagine,
just imagine, if there were not a hundred thousand such incidents (as have taken
place in Darfur) or a million (as in the southern Sudan) but even one such
event, anywhere in the Western world, by a Western government.
Then ask why there is such a different standard, such fear of telling the truth,
about how Islam is a vehicle for Arab supremacist ideology, and Arabs among the
supreme racists of history, who persuade those they conquer to abandon, forget,
despise their own pasts, and to assume pseudo-Arab identities, and to take as
their own models some Arabs who lived in 7th century Arabia.

truth... until they pay the tax in acknowledg-ment of superiority and they are
in a state of subjection."

Various Jihadi genocides against Christians
For a complete overview and further documentation go to www.aina.org.
None of the European media organisations makes any attempt to track or create
overviews of Jihadi terror attacks. There is one website however who have taken
such steps in cataloguing these atrocities:
From: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/
Islamic Terrorists Have Carried Out More Than 13200 Deadly Terror Attacks Since
9/11. (As of May 2009).
This is just a sample time period:
List of Islamic Terror Attacks over a period of 2 Months
Time frame: 22.08.2008 – 20.10.2008
|
The website lists an overview of Jihadi terror acts since 2001.
Unfortunately, this is only the top of the ice berg. There are hundreds more
attacks occurring every single day, across the world, which are not documented.
This includes Europeans slain by Muslims living in Europe. There is no website
as far as we know who catalogue these atrocities.
Rough estimates of non-Muslims (primarily native Europeans) slain by Muslims
living in Europe since 1960:
10 000 – 20 000
See book 3, “charges” for more estimates.
By Robert Spencer
“Get out your weapons,” commanded Jaffar Umar Thalib, a 40-year-old Muslim
cleric, over Indonesian radio in May 2002. “Fight to the last drop of blood.”[1]
The target of this Jihad was Indonesian Christians. Christians, Jaffar
explained, were “belligerent infidels” (kafir harbi) and entitled to no mercy.
This designation was not merely a stylistic flourish on Jaffar’s part. On the
contrary, kafir harbi is a category of infidel that is clearly delineated in
Islamic theology. By using this term, Jaffar was not only inciting his followers
to violence, but telling them that their actions were theologically sanctioned.
Jaffar’s words had consequences. The death toll among Indonesian Christians in
the chaos that followed was estimated to be as high as 10,000, with countless
thousands more left homeless.[2] Journalist Rod Dreher reported in 2002 that
Jaffar Umar Thalib’s jihadist group, Laskar Jihad, had also “forcibly converted
thousands more, and demolished hundreds of churches.”[3]
What happened in Indonesia was treated by the international press as an isolated
incident. In fact, however, the violent jihad there was part of the ongoing
persecution of Christians by Muslims throughout the Islamic world. This
violence, reminiscent of barbarous religious conflicts of seven hundred years
ago, is the dirty little secret of contemporary religion. Fearful of offending
Muslim sensibilities, the international community has averted its gaze, allowing
the persecution to take place in the darkness. Nowhere else is religious bigotry
legitimated by holy writ, in this case the Quran, or by a significant number of
religious leaders, in this case imams. Nowhere else does religious bigotry have
such bloody consequences. Nowhere else does such religious bigotry take place
almost entirely without comment, let alone condemnation, from the human rights
community.
Christian persecution by Muslims has become a familiar narrative, repeated with
terrifying frequency in Muslim controlled areas throughout the world, but
especially in the Middle East.
Murdered Christian Clergy in Iraq
On April 5, 2008, Youssef Adel, an Assyrian Orthodox priest at St. Peter and
Paul church in Baghdad, was killed in a drive-by shooting as he was opening the
gate of his house.[4] This attack came just weeks after the death of Archbishop
Paulos Faraj Rahho of the Chaldean Catholic Church, who was kidnapped in the
Iraqi city of Mosul on February 29 while three Christians with him were also
killed. On March 12, the kidnappers phoned a church in Mosul to announce that
Archbishop Rahho was dead, and indicate where the body could be found.[5]
While mosques proliferate throughout the west, Christian clergymen have become
an endangered species in Iraq. In October 2006, a Syrian Orthodox priest, Fr.
Boulos Iskander, went shopping for auto parts in the Iraqi city of Mosul. He was
never seen alive again. A Muslim group kidnapped him and initially demanded
$350,000 in ransom; they eventually lowered this to $40,000, but added a new
demand: Fr. Boulos’ parish had to denounce the mildly critical remarks about
Islam made the previous month by Pope Benedict in an address in Regensburg,
Germany, that had caused rioting all over the Islamic world. The ransom was
paid, and the church dutifully posted thirty large signs all over Mosul
denouncing the Pope’s statements. All to no avail: when Fr. Boulos’ remains were
discovered, he had not only been murdered but dismembered.
Five hundred Christians attended the funeral. Looking at the crowd, another
priest commented: “Many more wanted to come to the funeral, but they were
afraid. We are in very bad circumstances now.”[6]
There is no doubt of that. The murders of these three clergymen took place
against a backdrop of increasing danger for Christians in Iraq. In March 2007,
Islamic gangs knocked on doors in Christian neighbourhoods in Baghdad, demanding
payment of the Jizya, the religion-based tax assessed by Islamic law against
Christians, Jews, and other non Muslim groups who live in Muslim lands.[7]
Meanwhile, Christian women throughout the country are threatened with kidnapping
or death if they do not wear a headscarf. In accord with traditional Islamic
legal restrictions on Christians “openly displaying wine or pork” (in the words
of a legal manual endorsed by Cairo’s venerable Al-Azhar
University), liquor store owners in Iraq have likewise been threatened.[8] Many
businesses have been destroyed, and the owners have fled.
In fact, half of the nation’s prewar 700,000 Christians have fled the country
since 2003. The difference in the violence they face is one of degrees. Even in
the relatively secular Iraq of Saddam Hussein, where the notorious Deputy Prime
Minister Tariq Aziz was a Chaldean Catholic Christian, the small Christian
community faced random violenc from the Muslim majority. Aside from outbreaks of
actual persecution, including murder, Christians were routinely pressured to
renounce their religion and to marry Muslims.[9] Iraqi Christians today are
streaming into Syria, or, if they can, out of the Middle East altogether. An
Iraqi businessman now living in Syria lamented that “now at least 75% of
my Christian friends have fled. There is no future for us in Iraq.”[10]
Coptic Christians victimised in Egypt
In Egypt, Coptic Christians have suffered discrimination and harassment for
centuries. Rather than being mitigated by the growing tolerance and
interconnection of the global community, the jeopardy of Christians is
increasing today, with mob attacks on churches and on individual Christians
becoming more frequent. In February 2007, rumours that a Coptic Christian man
was having an affair with a Muslim woman – a violation of Islamic law – led to a
rampage that resulted in the destruction of several Christian-owned shops in
southern Egypt.[11] And besides physical attacks, Christians have been
restricted from speaking freely. In August 2007, two Coptic rights activists
were arrested for “publishing articles and declarations that are damaging to
Islam and insulting to Prophet Mohammed on the United Copts web site.”[12]
Mistreatment of Christians in Egypt frequently meets with indifference – or
worse yet, complicity -- from Egyptian authorities. In June 2007, rioters in
Alexandria vandalised Christian shops, attacked and injured seven Christians,
and damaged two Coptic churches. Police allowed the mob to roam free in
Alexandria’s Christian quarter for an hour and a half before intervening. The
Compass Direct News service, which tracks incidents of Christian persecution,
noted: “In
April 2006, Alexandria was the scene of three knife attacks on churches that
killed one Christian and left a dozen more injured. The government appeared
unable or unwilling to halt subsequent vandalism of Coptic-owned shops and
churches...”[13]
The ordeal of Suhir Shihata Gouda exemplifies the experience of many Egyptian
Christians, and principally of Christian women, who are frequently victimised by
Muslim men.[14] According to the Jubilee Campaign, which records incidences of
Christian persecution:
[A Christian woman named Suhir] was kidnapped on February 25th [1999] by a group
of Muslims who forced her to marry a Muslim man, Saed Sadek Mahmoud. After Suhir
failed to return home from school, her distraught father rushed to Abu-Tisht
police station to report the incident, but instead of assisting him, a police
officer began assaulting Suhir’s father…beating and cursing him. Three days
later, Suhir’s father and brother returned to the police station to ask for help
and they were subjected to the same abuse, as a result of which the father had
to be admitted to hospital for treatment.
Suhir herself managed to escape, but was recaptured “and beaten for running away
and is currently under heavy guard.” Her Muslim “husband” accompanied a mob to
her father’s house where they threatened to kill all the Christian
men in Suhir’s home village, and carry off all the women, if her family took
legal action.[15]
Bishop Wissa of Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox Church painted a grim picture in an
interview with the Protestant organisation Prayer for the Persecuted Church in
May 2000:
One man in his 20s was in the field working when he was approached by armed
Muslims. He was asked to renounce Christianity and to verbally say the two
statements of faith that would convert him to Islam. When he refused and did the
sign of the cross, he was shot in the head and killed. Another young man had a
tattoo on his arm of St. George and the Virgin Mary. They also asked him to
renounce his faith. When he refused, they cut off his arm that had the Christian
tattoos and chopped it up. They finished him off with their daggers and then
burned his body.
A 17-year-old boy, who is a deacon at the church, was going to look for his
sister in the fields. He too was asked to renounce his faith, and when he
refused, he was shot. After they killed him, they asked the young girl to lay
next to her brother and they killed her right there.
The Egyptian government, caught between the demands of Sharia and its secular
laws, couldn’t entirely ignore these acts of murder. It compensated each of the
families of these victims, albeit in a manner that only underscored the
relatively cheapness of a Christian life: each family received eight hundred
dollars. And this was only because of the notoriety of the cases. The families
of other victims,
however, get neither recompense nor justice. One man’s son was on his way to
school when Islamic militants stopped the school bus on which he was riding and
ordered the Christians to separate from the Muslims. They demanded that the boy
renounce his faith. When he refused, says Bishop Wissa, “they killed him with an
axe, and then they drove over his body with their car.” Authorities called the
death a vehicular accident, and denied the father compensation — just as they
did previously when Muslim militants destroyed his shop.[16]
Jihadist Aggression against Christians in Pakistan
In Pakistan the situation for Christians is no better. Fr. Emmanuel Asi,
chairman of the Theological Institute for Laity in Lahore and secretary of the
Catholic Bible
Commission of Pakistan, said in August 2007 that Pakistani Christians are
frequently denied equality of rights with Muslims and subjected to various forms
of discrimination. Jihadist aggression, he said, can “at any time” bring “every
imaginable kind of problem” upon Pakistan’s Christians.[17]
As in Egypt, Christians in Pakistan have been subjected to mob violence and
threats. In August 2007, Christians (as well as Hindus) in Peshawar in northern
Pakistan received letters from a jihadist group ordering them to convert to
Islam in a matter of days or “your colony will be ruined.” The deadline passed,
but according to Compass Direct, the Christians continued “to live in fear,
canceling church activities and skipping services.”[18] They had good reason to
be worried, since jihadists had made good their promises to attack Pakistani
churches in the past. In an attack in a Peshawar church on October 28, 2001, for
instance, eighteen Christians were murdered during the Sunday morning worship
service.[19] In another church attack on March 17, 2002, five Christians were
killed and forty wounded. The entire Pakistani Christian community lived under
the shadow of an al-Qaeda threat to kill “two Christians in retaliation for
every Muslim killed in the U.S. military strikes in Afghanistan.”[20]
In addition to group attacks, there is also individual harassment. Pakistani
Christian schoolteacher Cadherine Shaheen was “pressured to convert to Islam.”
When she resisted, she was finally told that if she did not capitulate she would
face serious consequences. Soon she was accused of blasphemy. All the area
mosques posted copies a poster bearing her name and picture. “This was a death
sentence for me,” says Shaheen. “It’s considered an honour for one of the Muslim
men to kill a blasphemer. Just before me, the Muslims murdered a school
principal accused of blasphemy. I was next.”
Shaheen went underground, where upon Pakistani police arrested her father and
brothers. Her father, age 85, soon died. Cadherine made her way to the United
States. “It’s horrible for Christians in Pakistan,” she now says. “The Muslims
take our land, rob our homes, try to force us to accept Islam. Young girls are
kidnapped and raped. Then they’re told that if they want a husband who will
accept them after that defilement, they must become Muslim.”[21]
Religious Cleansing Elsewhere in the Islamic world
The same dispiriting story is repeated all over the Muslim world. In June 2007
Christians in Gaza appealed to the international community for protection after
jihadists destroyed a church and a school.[22] In Sudan, the Khartoum regime has
for years waged a bloody jihad against the Christians in the southern part of
the country, killing two million Sudanese Christians and displacing five million
more.[23] In Spring 2003 jihadists burned to death a Sudanese Christian pastor
and his family while carrying out an unprovoked massacre of 59 villagers.[24]
In Nigeria, Muslim mobs have torched churches, enforced Sharia codes on
Christians, and even horse-whipped female Christian college students whom they
deemed improperly dressed.[25] Over 2,000 people were killed in 2001 in Muslim
instigated riots in the city of Jos. All over Nigeria, Islamic jihadists
continue to try to impose the Sharia over the whole country, despite its sizable
Christian population. A report warned that in Jos, “the conflict could recur,
since Muslim militants are still bent on attacking Christians.”[26]
Even in Lebanon, traditionally the Middle East’s sole Christian land, Christians
suffer persecution -- marked most notably by an ongoing series of assassinations
of Christian political leaders, including the bombing in a Christian suburb of
Beirut in September 2007 that killed Antoine Ghanem of the Christian Phalange
party.[27] This has led to declining numbers and declining influence – which in
turn encourages yet more persecution. Communities that date back almost two
thousand years to the dawn of Christianity have been steadily decreasing in
numbers; now the faith is on the verge of disappearing from the area altogether.
Muslim militants in Algeria have targeted that country’s small group of
Catholics for years. In 1994, they killed a priest, a nun, and four
missionaries; in 1995, two nuns; in 1996, a bishop and fourteen monks. Many of
those who were murdered were trying to establish friendly relations with the
Muslim community. Bishop Pierre Claverie of Oran, killed in 1996, “had dedicated
his life to promoting dialogue between Islam and Christianity; he was known as
the ‘Bishop of the Muslims’ and had studied Islam in depth — indeed to such an
extent that...the Muslims themselves would consult him on the subject.”[28]
In early 2002 in Malawi, according to Compass Direct, two local Christians “have
been stoned, threatened with machetes and warned by local Muslim leaders that
they will be sent back to their original villages as corpses if they continue to
hold meetings in their houses.”[29]
According to Aid to the Church in Need, in Bangladesh “on April 28 1998, a crowd
— instigated by the Islamists — ransacked and partly burnt down the Catholic
girls’ college of St. Francis Xavier, the churches of Santa Croce and St. Thomas
in the capital, and the Baptist church in Sadarghat. Some priests, nuns and even
ordinary workers have been threatened with death.”
The occasion for this violence seems to have been a dispute over land: “The
reason for the conflict was a plot of land belonging to the church which the
adjacent mosque wanted for itself. Seven thousand people, incited via a
loud-hailer with claims that the mosque had been invaded by Christians and Jews,
broke into the St Francis Xavier College, burning books, smashing crucifixes and
statues of the Virgin, breaking down doors, windows and ransacking the
dormitories.”[30]
Libyan strongman Muammar Qaddafi is likewise intolerant of Christians. Aid to
the Church in Need reports that in Libya, “The majority of the Christian
churches were closed following the revolution of 1969, despite the fact that the
words of the Constitution guarantee the liberty of religion. After expelling the
Italian and Maltese Catholics, Qaddafi turned the cathedral in the capital into
a mosque.”[31]
Since the Turkish occupation of northern Cyprus in 1974, churches have been
despoiled of icons, which have flooded the black market in Greece. The Turks
have taken over many churches for secular uses, and even tried to convert
the fourth century monastery of San Makar into a hotel. Christian Cypriots are
forbidden to come near the building, much less enter it.[32]
Muslim militants seem determined to drive all Christians out of the country. In
Tur-Abdin in southwest Turkey in 1960, there were 150,000 Christians; today
there are just over two thousand. Terrorism is employed where subtler means of
persuasion fail: according to Aid to the Church in Need, “on December 3, 1997, a
bomb exploded in the headquarters of the Ecumenical Patriarch, injuring a deacon
and damaging the church.”[33] The Turkish government, meanwhile, has
closed the last remaining Orthodox seminary, and with its requirement that the
Patriarch of Constantinople be a Turkish citizen, seems intent upon destroying
the patriarchate.
In Indonesia, the massacres of Christians by Laskar Jihad in 2002 described
above were not the beginning or the end of the plight of Christians there. In
Java in 1996, Muslims destroyed thirteen churches. Thirteen more churches were
torched in Djakarta in 1998 by mobs shouting, “We are Muslim gentlemen and they
are Christian pigs” and, paraphrasing the Qur’an, “Kill all the pagans!” One
Muslim shouted at an army officer who was trying to protect some Christians to
“stand aside and allow Islamic justice to take its course.”[34]
Human rights organisations report that Indonesian jihadists, often abetted by
local government officials, have forced the closing of 110 churches in Indonesia
between 2004 and 2007.[35] Because of the violence, incidents of commonplace
Christian charity have been transformed into homilies on what appear to be the
perdurable differences between Islam and Christianity: Aid to the Church in Need
tells of “eight Sisters of the Little Child Jesus, on arriving in Cileduk, a
suburb of Java, were attacked by stone-throwing Muslims; they responded by
building a care centre for children, an old people’s home and a school.”
And in the most horrific instance of Muslim persecution of Christians in
Indonesia, in October 2005, three Islamic jihadists beheaded three Christian
girls and severely wounded a fourth as they walked to school near the city of
Poso.[36] For this ghastly triple murder, an Indonesian court sentenced the
organiser of the attack to twenty years in prison; his two accomplices both got
fourteen years.[37]
Christians who have converted from Islam suffer special hatred. But those born
to the faith don’t have it much easier. Saudi Arabia, the holy land of Islam,
has been especially harsh on religious minorities. Even foreigners must submit
to draconian Saudi religious laws:
In 1979, when the Muslims requested the intervention of a special French unit
into the Kaaba, against a group of Islamic fundamentalists who were opposed to
the government, the soldiers of the intervention force of the French national
police (GIGN — Groupe d’intervention de la Gendarmerie nationale) were obliged
to undergo a rapid ceremony of conversion to Islam. Even the Red Cross was
obliged, during the course of the Gulf war, to drive around without the symbol
of the Cross and not to display its banner.[38]
Adds former U. S. Foreign Service Officer Tim Hunter, who served in Saudi Arabia
from 1993 to 1995, “On occasion they beat, even tortured, Americans in Jeddah
for as little as possessing a photograph with a Star of David in
the background or singing Christmas carols....The Mutawa [Saudi religious
police] chained, beat and cast clergy into medieval-style dungeons.”[39]
Amnesty International reports that an Indian named George Joseph, who was
working in Saudi Arabia, “was reportedly arrested outside his home in May [2000]
as he returned from a Catholic service with a religious cassette tape.”[40]
In early 2003 the Saudi government reaffirmed that there was not and would never
be a church in the Kingdom. “This country was the launchpad for the prophecy and
the message, and nothing can contradict this, even if we lose our necks,” said
Prince Sultan, the Saudi defence minister. Responding to complaints that
American military and diplomatic personnel were not allowed to practice their
faith, he called them “fanatics” and declared: “There are no churches — not in
the past, the present or future. . . . Whoever said that [churches should be
established] must shut up and be ashamed.”[41] Reports in early 2008 that Pope
Benedict XVI and the Vatican were in talks with Saudi officials to open a church
in the Kingdom were put in perspective quickly by Anwar Ashiqi, president of the
Saudi centre for Middle East strategic studies, in an interview on the Arab
television network al-Arabiya. “I haven taken part in several meetings related
to Islamic-Christian dialogue and there have been negotiations on this issue,”
he explained. However, “it would be possible to launch official negotiations to
construct a church in Saudi Arabia only after the Pope and all the Christian
churches recognise the prophet Mohammed. If they don’t recognise him as a
prophet, how can we have a church in the Saudi kingdom?”[42]
The religious cleansing of Christians in the Muslim world does not surprise
anyone familiar with the origins of Islam. The prophet Muhammad declared: “I
will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave
any but Muslims.”[43] According to a modern Islamic legal manual, Christians are
“forbidden to reside in the Hijaz, meaning the area and towns around Mecca,
Medina, and Yamama, for more than three days.”[44] In fact, the highways in
Saudi Arabia that lead to Mecca and Medina feature, a good distance away from
the holy cities, exits marked “Non-Muslims Must Exit Here.”
The Punishment for Conscience is Death
Converts from Islam to Christianity are often hunted in the Muslim world, where
virtually all religious authorities agree that such individuals deserve death.
Muhammad himself commanded such a punishment: “Whoever changed his Islamic
religion, then kill him.”[45] This is still the position of all the schools of
Islamic jurisprudence, although there is some disagreement over whether the law
applies only to men, or to women also.
At Cairo’s Al-Azhar University, the most prestigious and influential institution
in the Islamic world, an Islamic manual certified as a reliable guide to Sunni
Muslim orthodoxy states: “When a person who has reached puberty and is sane
voluntarily apostatises from Islam, he deserves to be killed.” Although the
right to kill an apostate is reserved in Muslim law to the leader of the
community and other Muslims can theoretically be punished for taking this duty
upon themselves, in practice a Muslim who kills an apostate needs to pay no
indemnity and perform no expiatory acts (as he must in other kinds of murder
cases under classic Islamic law). This accommodation is made because killing an
apostate “is killing someone who deserves to die.”[46]
IslamOnline, a website manned by a team of Islam scholars headed by the
internationally influential Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, explains, “If a sane
person who has reached puberty voluntarily apostatises from Islam, he deserves
to be punished. In such a case, it is obligatory for the caliph (or his
representative) to ask him to repent and return to Islam. If he does, it is
accepted from him, but if he refuses, he is immediately killed.” And what if
someone doesn’t wait for a caliph to appear and takes matters into his own
hands? Although the killer is to be “disciplined” for “arrogating the caliph’s
prerogative and encroaching upon his rights,” there is “no blood money for
killing an apostate (or any expiation)” – in other words, no significant
punishment for the killer.[47]
An Afghan named Abdul Rahman knows all this well. In February 2006, he was
arrested for the crime of leaving Islam for Christianity.[48] The Afghan
Constitution stipulates that “no law can be contrary to the beliefs and
provisions of the sacred religion of Islam.”[49] Even after his arrest, Western
analysts seem to have had trouble grasping the import of this provision. A
“human rights expert” quoted by the Times of London summed up confusion
widespread in Western countries: “The constitution says Islam is the religion of
Afghanistan, yet it also mentions the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and
Article 18 specifically forbids this kind of recourse. It really highlights the
problem the judiciary faces.”[50]
But in fact there was contraction. The Constitution may declare its “respect”
for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but it also says that no law can
contradict Islamic law. The Constitution’s definition of religious freedom is
explicit: “The religion of the state of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan is
the sacred religion of Islam. Followers of other religions are free to exercise
their faith and perform their religious rites
within the limits of the provisions of
law” [My emphasis].
The Islamic death penalty for apostasy is deeply ingrained in Islamic culture --
which is one reason why it was Abdul Rahman’s own family that went to police to
file a complaint about his conversion. Whatever triggered their action in 2006,
they could be confident that the police would receive such a complaint with the
utmost seriousness.
After an international outcry, Abdul Rahman was eventually spirited out of
Afghanistan to relative safety in Italy. Despite the publicity, his case was
hardly unique. Sudanese Al-Faki Kuku Hassan, whom news reports describe as “a
former Muslim sheikh who converted to Christianity in 1995,” was arrested for
apostasy in March 1998 and held, despite international protests, until his
declining health (he suffered a stroke in Spring 2001) led to his release on May
31, 2001.[51]
Muhammad Sallam, an Egyptian convert to Christianity, was arrested in 1989 and
tortured; he was arrested again in 1998 and spirited away to an unknown
destination. Two other converts to Christianity in Egypt, Dr. Abdul-Rahman
Muhammad Abdul-Ghaffar and Abdul Hamid Beshan Abd El Mohzen, were held in
solitary confinement for extended periods in the late 1980s.
In Morocco, authorities jailed Christian converts as well as a Salvadoran
Baptist musician, Gilberto Orellana, who was accused of converting a Muslim to
Christianity.[52] Even in comparatively tolerant Jordan, where freedom of
religion is guaranteed by the Constitution, “Muslims who convert to other
religions suffer discrimination both socially and on the part of the
authorities, since the government does not fully recognise the legality of such
conversions and considers the converts to be still Muslims, subject to the
Sharia, according to which they are apostates and could have their property
confiscated and many of their rights denied them.”[53]
Robert Hussein Qambar Ali, a Kuwaiti national who converted from Islam to
Christianity in the 1990s, was arrested and tried for apostasy, even though the
Kuwaiti Constitution guarantees the freedom of religion. Mohammad Al-Jadai, one
of Hussein’s prosecutors, explained: “Legislators did not regulate the question
of apostasy in the Constitution because they never thought this kind of thing
could happen here. The freedom of belief in the Constitution applies only to the
religion of birth.”[54]
When Hussein asked during a court hearing to see a memorandum from the
prosecution, the prosecutor told the judge, “His blood is immoral! This document
contains verses from the Holy Qur’an and should not be touched by this infidel!”
Then the prosecutor began quoting a passage from the memorandum that made
abundantly clear the relationship between Kuwait’s ostensibly tolerant secular
law and the Sharia: “With grief I have to say that our criminal law does not
include a penalty for apostasy. The fact is that the legislature, in our humble
opinion, cannot enforce a penalty for apostasy any more or less than what our
Allah and his messenger have decreed. The ones who will make the decision about
his apostasy are: our Book, the Sunna, the agreement of the prophets and their
legislation given by Allah.”
An Islamic court condemned Hussein to die. Professor Anh Nga Longva of the
University of Bergen, Norway visited Kuwait in 1997 and found passions running
high over the case: “I found a surprisingly strong consensus across the
liberal/islamist divide. Practically everyone agreed that Qambar’s conversion
was a serious crime and as is the case with all crimes, it had to be punished.
They also agreed that depriving him of all his civil rights was an adequate
punishment. The only topic which gave rise to some disagreement and a subdued
sense of unease within some circles was the question of the death penalty.”
Intriguingly, Longva reports that those who were indignant over Hussein Qambar
Ali’s conversion invoked the same Qur’anic verse he would have used to argue
that Hussein was within his rights to become a Christian: “Those who opposed
[the death penalty for Hussein] based their position on the Qur’anic verse 2:257
[in most Qur’anic verse numbering systems it is 2:256] that says ‘no compulsion
is there in religion’. But more often than not, the same verse was quoted in
front of me to show that precisely because Islam is such a tolerant religion,
there are no possible excuses for apostasy.”[55]
Longva quotes the disquieting summation of a Kuwaiti jurist: “We always remind
those who want to convert to Islam that they enter through a door but that there
is no way out.”[56] Hussein was eventually convicted of apostasy, but increasing
international attention to this case enabled him to escape to the United States.
In August 2007, Mohammed Hegazy, an Egyptian convert from Islam to Christianity,
was forced to go into hiding after a death sentence was pronounced against him
by Islamic clerics. He refused to flee Egypt, however, and declared:
“I know there are fatwas to shed my blood, but I will not give up and I will not
leave the country.”[57] Early in 2008, his father told Egyptian newspapers: “I
am going to try to talk to my son and convince him to return to Islam. If he
refuses, I am going to kill him with my own hands.” As of this writing, Hegazy
remains in hiding in Egypt.[58]
While doing nothing to help Hegazy, in February 2008, the Egyptian government
made what appeared to be a significant concession to that nation’s Christian
minority when it allowed converts from Islam to Christianity to note their new
religion on their state-issued identity cards.[59]
This seemed at first glance to be a major departure from the traditional death
penalty for apostates from Islam. But Egypt, although it is not a Sharia state,
has never looked kindly upon those who converted. While the new regulation
seemed to be a step in a new direction, it turned out that the concession
applies only to Christians who converted to Islam and then returned to
Christianity. The converts’ identity cards will bear that information. In light
of the Islamic law making apostasy from Islam a capital offense, the converts’
identity cards are the equivalent of a bulls-eye. Any Muslim who meets them and
takes the death penalty for apostasy seriously will consider himself justified
to kill them.
Qur’anic Justification for the persecution of Christians
“Like Christians, Muslims respect and revere Jesus. Islam teaches that Jesus is
one of the greatest of God’s prophets and messengers to humankind. Like
Christians, every day, over 1.3 billion Muslims strive to live by his teachings
of love, peace, and forgiveness. Those teachings, which have become universal
values, remind us that all of us, Christians, Muslims, Jews, and all others have
more in common than we think.”
So read an advertisement that the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)
placed in California newspapers in March 2004. The ad’s message about bridges
between Islam and Christians appeared to have a Qur’anic precedent. The Islamic
holy book asserts that Christians will be the closest friends to Muslims:
“Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and
Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who
say, ‘We are Christians’: because amongst these are men devoted to learning and
men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant” (5:82).
But in the Muslim world there is no reason to play act at ecumenism. On the
other hand, the Saudi Sheikh Marzouq Salem Al-Ghamdi recently preached in a
mosque in Mecca that “Christians are infidels, enemies of Allah, his Messenger,
and the believers. They deny and curse Allah and his Messenger . . . How can we
draw near to these infidels?”[60]
The Sheikh was ignoring Qur’an 5:82 in favor of another verse: “O ye who
believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors:
they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns
to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust”
(5:51).
Besides these mixed messages, the Qur’an has a great deal more to say about
Christianity and Christ. It teaches Jesus’s Virgin Birth (Sura 19, which is
entitled “Mary,” contains a long description of this event) and calls him
Allah’s “Word” and “a spirit proceeding from Him,” but it also denies the
Trinity and insists that Jesus is not the Son of God (4:171). It places Jesus in
a line of prophets including many Old Testament figures: “Say ye: ‘We believe in
Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma’il, Isaac,
Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to
(all) prophets from their Lord. We make no difference between one and another of
them, and we bow to Allah (in Islam)’” (2:136).
In the Qur’anic view, this line culminates in Muhammad, the last and greatest
prophet whose revelation completes and corrects all previous revelations. Hence
Muslims traditionally believe that Islam is the final revelation from Allah, but
that Jews and Christians also received genuine revelations (hence their Qur’anic
designation “People of the Book”), which they have criminally altered to exalt
Jesus as the Son of God and remove references to the coming of Muhammad.
Christians also added the false doctrines of the Trinity and the Divinity of
Christ: “So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not ‘Three.’ Cease! (it
is) better for you! Allah is only One Allah. Far is it removed from His
Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son” (4:171).
Consequently, there is an evasiveness in some Muslims’ claim that Islam
recognises Christianity as a legitimate faith. For the Christianity that the
Qur’an recognises is not Christianity as millions practice it around the world
today. The Qur’an says of Jesus: “We sent him the Gospel. Therein was guidance
and light, and confirmation of the Law that had come before him, a guidance and
an admonition to those who fear Allah. Let the people of the Gospel judge by
what
Allah hath revealed therein. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what
Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel” (5:46-47).
When Muslims began to have contact with Christians on a large scale, this
passage put them in an uncomfortable position: they held that the Gospel bore
witness to Muhammad’s prophethood, and that accordingly if Christians judged by
it rightly, they would become Muslims. But instead Muslims found that the New
Testament affirmed the Christian understanding of Jesus that the Qur’an
repudiated, and contained no trace of an idea that a later prophet would come
with a final revelation. Thus Muslims began to teach that Christians had
corrupted the pure Gospel that was given to Jesus by Allah.
This idea is still common in the Islamic world today. The Muslim scholar
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, translator of a popular English version of the Qur’an,
includes an explanatory note in his Qur’an about the Gospel: “The Injil [Gospel]
mentioned in the Qur’an is certainly not the New Testament, and it is not the
four Gospels, as now received by the Christian Church, but an original Gospel
which was promulgated by Jesus as the Tawrah [Torah] was promulgated by Moses
and the Qur’an by Muhammad al Mustafa.”[61]
Thus while there are, of course, many Muslims willing to live in peace and
harmony with Christians, there are others who feel they are doctrinally
justified by their faith to despise Christians as corrupters of Allah’s word and
bearers of his curse.
This is a key source of much of the enduring enmity between Muslims and
Christians. And that enmity is compounded by the Islamic doctrine of jihad: the
idea that it is part of the responsibility of the Muslim community to wage war
against unbelievers until they either convert to Islam, submit to Muslim rule
(which involves accepting a number of humiliating regulations), or are killed.
This triple choice, announced by Muhammad himself, is founded on the Qur’an,
which states explicitly that it is to be extended to Jews and Christians: “Fight
those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which
hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of
Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya [a
special higher tax rate] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued”
(9:29).
Persecution of Christians: A living tradition
Muhammad’s last military expedition was against the Byzantine Christians in the
northern Arabian garrison of Tabuk, and shortly after their prophet’s death
Islamic jihadists conquered and Islamised what had up to then been the Christian
lands of the Middle East, North Africa and Spain. The jihad then pointed toward
Christian Europe and continued there for centuries, with a high water mark
coming in 1453 with the conquest of Constantinople. But in September 1683, the
Ottoman siege of Vienna was broken, and the Islamic tide in Europe began to
recede. But the doctrines that fueled the jihad against Christians were never
reformed or rejected by any Islamic sect. Consequently, with the renewal of
jihadist sentiments among Muslims in the twentieth century came renewed
persecution of Christians. This chilling story told by a woman who lived during
the Ottoman Empire of the late nineteenth century captures the moment of that
renewal in one household:
Then one night, my husband came home and told me that the padisha had sent word
that we were to kill all the Christians in our village, and that we would have
to kill our neighbours. I was very angry, and told him that I did not care who
gave such orders, they were wrong. These neighbours had always been kind to us,
and if he dared to kill them Allah would pay us out. I tried all I could to stop
him, but he killed them — killed them with his own hand.[62]
The Christian population in Turkey has declined from 15% in 1920 to one percent
today. In Syria, it has declined from 33% to 10% in the same span. In Bethlehem,
85% of the population was Christian in 1948; today, 12% hold to the faith of the
town’s most celebrated native son.[63]
The burden of the past lies heavy on the present for Christians in the Muslim
world. Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad, a controversial pro-Osama Muslim leader who
lived for years in Great Britain but is now barred from reentering that country,
wrote in October 2002, “We cannot simply say that because we have no Khilafah
[caliphate] we can just go ahead and kill any non-Muslim, rather, we must still
fulfill their Dhimmah.”[64] The Dhimmah is the Islamic legal contract of
protection for Jews, Christians, and some other inferiors under Islamic rule;
those who accept this protection and the concomitant deprivation of various
rights, are known as dhimmis. In 1999, Sheikh Yussef Salameh, the Palestinian
Authority’s undersecretary for religious endowment, according to Jonathan
Adelman and Agota Kuperman of the Foundation for the Defence of Democracies,
“praised the idea that Christians should become dhimmis under Muslim rule, and
such suggestions have become more common since the second intifada began in
October 2000.”[65]
In a recent Friday sermon at a mosque in Mecca, Sheikh Marzouq Salem Al-Ghamdi
spelled out the Sharia’s injunctions for dhimmis:
If the infidels live among the Muslims, in accordance with the conditions set
out by the Prophet — there is nothing wrong with it provided they pay Jizya to
the Islamic treasury. Other conditions are...that they do not renovate a church
or a monastery, do not rebuild ones that were destroyed, that they feed for
three days any Muslim who passes by their homes...that they rise when a Muslim
wishes to sit, that they do not imitate Muslims in dress and speech, nor ride
horses, nor own swords, nor arm themselves with any kind of weapon; that they do
not sell wine, do not show the cross, do not ring church bells, do not raise
their voices during prayer, that they shave their hair in front so as to make
them easily identifiable, do not incite anyone against the Muslims, and do not
strike a Muslim...If they violate these conditions, they have no protection.[66]
These Sharia provisions have not been fully enforced since the mid-nineteenth
century, but today’s jihadists want to restore these laws along with the rest of
the Sharia.
The idea that Christians must “feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29) in Islamic
lands is also very much alive. When the first Catholic Church in Qatar opened in
March 2008, it sported no cross, no bell, no steeple, and no sign. “The idea,”
explained the church’s pastor, Fr. Tom Veneracion, “is to be discreet because we
don’t want to inflame any sensitivities.”[67]
In the Philippines, the church in the nation’s one Islamic city, Marawi, has
also done away with the cross. Catholic priest, Fr. Teresito Soganub, explains:
“To avoid arguments and to avoid further misunderstandings we just plant the
cross deep in our hearts.” Fr. Soganub, according to Reuters, “doesn’t wear a
crucifix or a clerical collar and sports a beard out of respect for his Muslim
neighbours.” He celebrates few weddings, since roast pork is a staple of wedding
receptions for Filipino Catholics.[68]
It is easy to see the need for such discretion. Preaching in a mosque in
Al-Damam, Saudi Arabia, the popular Saudi Sheikh Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjid
recommended hatred of Christians and Jews as a proper course: “Muslims must,” he
declared, “educate their children to Jihad. This is the greatest benefit of the
situation: educating the children to Jihad and to hatred of the Jews, the
Christians, and the infidels; educating the children to Jihad and to revival of
the embers of Jihad in their souls. This is what is needed now...”[69]
The Crime of Silence of Human Rights Groups
What Justus Reid Weiner, an international human rights lawyer, stated in
December 2007 about Christians in Palestinian areas applies to Christians in the
Islamic world generally: “The systematic persecution of Christian Arabs living
in Palestinian areas is being met with nearly total silence by the international
community, human rights activists, the media and NGOs.” He said that if nothing
were done, no Christians would be left there in fifteen years, for “Christian
leaders are being forced to abandon their followers to the forces of radical
Islam.”[70]
The nearly total silence manifests itself in the curiously euphemistic manner in
which human rights groups report on the plight of Christians, when they notice
that plight at all. For example, Amnesty International’s 2007 report on the
human rights situation in Egypt dismisses the suffering of Coptic Christians in
a single sentence so filled with euphemism and moral equivalence and so lacking
in context that it almost erases the crime it describes: “There were sporadic
outbreaks of sectarian violence between Muslims and Christians. In April [2006],
three days of religious violence in Alexandria resulted in at least three deaths
and dozens of injuries.”[71] In
reality, the strife began when a Muslim stabbed a Christian to death inside a
church, and when armed jihadists attacked three churches in Alexandria that same
month.[72]
The passive voice seems to be the rule of the day where jihad violence against
Christians is concerned. The 2007 Amnesty International report on Indonesia
includes this line: “Minority religious groups and church buildings continued to
be attacked.” By whom? AI is silent. “In Sulawesi, sporadic religious violence
occurred throughout the year.”[73] Who is responsible for that violence? AI
doesn’t say. Amnesty International seems more concerned about protecting Islam
and Islamic groups from being implicated in human rights abuses than about
protecting Christians from those abuses. It appears that Christianity – even
indigenous Egyptian Christianity, which of course predates the advent of Islam
in that country – is too closely identified with the United States and the West
for the multiculturalist tastes of the human rights elite.
The situation is dire. Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III, who lives
in Damascus, declared in April 2006 that “after 11 September, there is a plot to
eliminate all the Christian minorities from the Arabic world….Our simple
existence ruins the equations whereby Arabs can’t be other than Moslems, and
Christians but be westerners…. If the Chaldeans, the Assyrians, the Orthodox,
the Latin
Catholics leave, if the Middle East is cleansed of all the Arabic Christians,
the Moslem Arab world and a so-called Christian Western world will be left face
to face. It will be easier to provoke a clash and justify it with religion. That
is why I wrote a letter in July to all the Arab rulers, to explain how important
it is that this small presence, 15 million Arab Christian scattered among 260
million Moslems, not be swept away.”[74]
Yet some American Christians and non-Christians are surprised just to discover
that there are ancient communities of Christians in Islamic lands at all, and
have no idea that Christians in the Islamic world are being persecuted. Others
are indifferent because of the growing movement of chic atheism which sees all
religions as equally objectionable, whatever their individual behaviour, and all
victims of religious persecution as getting what they deserve. And many
Westerners, particularly those in the human rights elite, are wedded to a moral
paradigm in which only non-Western non-Christians can possibly fit into the
human rights groups’ victim paradigm – a sad situation when the position of
Christians all over the Third World is increasingly precarious.
And so Islamic jihadists and Sharia supremacists, with ever increasing
confidence and brutality and virtually no protest from the West, continue to
prey on the Christians in their midst. It’s a crime that is growing in
consequence, and it has created a bloody ground where Islam and Christianity
meet in the Third World.

“We are the Church of Islam,” Interview with the patriarch of Antioch Grégoire
III Laham by Gianni Valente, 30 Days, April 2006.
What is the origin and history of Christians in the Middle East?
"...overwhelming majority of Middle East Christians came from nationalities
which did not convert to Islam after the Arab conquest of the seventh century. "
What is the situation of Christians in the Middle East today?
Types of Persecutions:
There are various types of persecutions of Christians in the Middle East. We can
sort them in two:
a)
Religious persecution of individuals (human rights abuse): This persecution is
conducted against individuals because of their religious affiliation. In Saudi
Arabia and Iran, for examples, individuals are punished for displaying crosses
or stars of David, jailed for praying in public, and in some cases punished by
death, for not complying with the religious tenants. In these countries, as well
as in Egypt and Sudan, converts to Christianity are sentenced to death.
b) Political oppression of religious communities (ethno-religious cleansing): In
this case, ruling regimes are oppressing entire religious communities on
political, security, and economic levels. The objectives of such oppression is
to reduce the influence of the Christian communities, and in certain cases, to
reduce it physically.
The ethno-religious cleansing of Christian peoples in the Middle East alternate
between military suppression and political oppression. In Egypt, the large
Coptic nation is systematically discriminated against on the constitutional,
political, administrative, and cultural levels. Moreover para-military
fundamentalist groups are conducting pogroms against the Christians, which
includes burning Churches and assassinating civilians.
In Sudan, the stated objective of the ruling regime is to Arabise and Islamise
the African Christian and Animist population of the south. Particularly since
1992, the Sudanese government has been waging a military campaign aimed at
dispersing, enslaving, and subduing the southern Blacks.
Last but not least, let us review the third largest Christian community of the
region, the Lebanese, who are under political and security oppression in their
homeland.
Under occupation by a Moslem power, Syria, the Christian community is
systematically suppressed by the Syrian-controlled regime in Beirut.
The smaller Christian groups do no better. In Iraq, for example, the Assyrians
are another group targeted by the Saddam regime. Growing numbers of Assyrians
have been assassinated by radical fundamentalist groups.
Slavery:
Religious persecution of Christians in the Middle East has reached extreme forms
of human degradation: In Sudan, abundant reports by international human rights
organisations have documented the enslavement by the northern fundamentalist
forces of southern African Christians. According to the reports and experts,
there are today between 600,000 and one million Black slaves from Sudan, who
have either been taken to the north of that country to work as domestics or
tending farms, or sold in other Arab countries.
The authors of persecution:
a. The religious persecution and oppression is normally conducted by one
religious group against other religious group: for Christians, this case has
been the case in Egypt, Sudan, Iran, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Pakistan. Of
course, persecution can also conducted by members of one particular group
against other members of the same religious group on the basis of religious
fundamentalism (Algeria, Afghanistan, Iran), or racism (Mauritania), but this is
not the topic of today's discussion.
b. Persecution of ethno-religious groups, the Mideast Christians in particular,
is conducted by legal governments (Egypt, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Sudan) or by
organisations (National Islamic Front in Sudan, Front Islamique de Salut, the
Hizbollah of Lebanon, etc.)
- Prof. Walid Phares, before the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Nea
East and South Asia Subcommittee on "Religious Persecution in the Middle East."
Washington DC, April 29, 1997
Iran is now murdering Christian leaders.
The Reverend Mehdi Dibaj had converted from Islam to Christianity 45 years ago.
On 21/12/93 he was sentenced to death on charges of apostasy. Released on appeal
his body was found on 5 July 1994. The Reverend Haik Mehr, Superintendent of the
Church of the Assemblies of God, who had campaigned against Dibaj's death
sentence was found dead on 20/1/94. On 2 July 1994 the body of the Reverend
Tatavous Michaelian, Chairman of the Council of Protestant Ministers in Iran was
found with several gun shots to the head.
19/7/98 The GIA has claimed responsibility for the death of Berber singer Lounes
Matoub. "It is common knowledge that the slain Lounes Matoub was among the most
stubborn enemies of religion and the Mujahideen (Holy warriors)", their
statement read.
How many Christians remain in the Middle East?
a.
The largest Christian community of the Middle East is found in Egypt, which has
ten to twelve million Copts. This Christian group comprises 1/5 to 1/6 of the
country's population. Egypt is also a major recipient of U.S. foreign aid,
despite blatant violations of religious freedom which occurs weekly in this
country.
b.
The Southern Sudanese are about six million. Christians are the largest
monotheist group.
c.
The Christians of Lebanon: about 1.5 million still reside there and more than 6
million live in the diaspora, including about a quarter of that number in the
United States. Among the Lebanese Christians, the largest group is the
Maronites, which are Catholics which follow Rome. Other smaller religious
entities include the Melkites and Orthodox Christians.
d.
The Assyro-Chaldeans: Around one million in Iraq with large concentrations in
the Kurdish zone.
e.
The Christians of Syria: About 1.2 million including Aramaics, Armenians,
Melkites and Orthodox.
f.
There are small but significant Christian communities in other countries such as
Iran, Jordan, Israel, and less significant in Turkey, Algeria. By law there are
no Christians in Saudi Arabia.
What has been the situation for Christians in Israel/Palestine?
In the last census conducted by the British mandatory authorities in 1947, there
were 28,000 Christians in Jerusalem. The census conducted by Israel in 1967
(after the Six Day War) showed just 11,000 Christians remaining in the city.
This means that some 17,000 Christians (or 61%) left during the days of King
Hussein's rule over Jerusalem. Their place was filled by Muslim Arabs from
Hebron.
During the British mandate period, Bethlehem had a Christian majority of 80%.
Today, under Palestinian rule, it has a Muslim majority of 80%.
Few Christians remain in the Palestinian-controlled parts of the West Bank.
Those who can - emigrate, and there will soon be virtually no Christians in the
Palestinian Authority controlled areas. The Palestinian Authority is trying to
conceal the fact of massive Christian emigration from areas under its control.
from PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS (Prime Minister's Office )
November, 1997
As a result of unceasing persecution, the Christians are forced to behave like
any oppressed minority which aims to survive. Christians in PA-controlled areas
have taken to praying in secret. The wisdom of survival compels them to assess
the "balance of fear", according to which they have nothing to fear from Israel
but face an existential threat from the Palestinian Authority and their Muslim
neighbours.
They act accordingly: they seek to "find favour" through unending praise and
adulation for the Muslim ruler together with public denunciations of the
"Zionist entity."
Middle East Digest - Nov/Dec 1997
Time magazine (April 23, 1990): "After years of relative harmony, friction
between Christians and their fellow-Arabs [in the disputed territories] has
intensified sharply with the rise of Muslim fundamentalism." (Time went on to
cite various examples of Muslims pressuring Christian Arabs).
The Jerusalem Post (May 2, 1991): "Muslim activists have been trying to convert
Bethlehem, home of some of Christianity's holiest sites and once predominantly
Christian, into a Muslim town. In contrast to the world-wide fuss over the
purchase of a hostel in Jerusalem's 'Christian Quarter' by Jews, this steady and
often violent encroachment has met with a thunderous silence in the Christian
world. The pattern of increased violence has been unmistakable. Last December
21, a school for nuns was torched. During the first week in March, there was an
attempt to break through the wall of the Carmelite monastery, followed by a
break-in at a Christian school. On March 3 vandals desecrated Bethlehem's Greek
Orthodox cemetery, removing crosses and disinterring and mutilating corpses ..."
La Terra Sancta (A Vatican publication, dated 1991): "The Christians are
abandoning the Middle East ... [although] the Jewish presence has alarmed the
Arabs ... more than anything else, the commercial, cultural and technological
contacts of recent years have caused a confrontation between Western
civilisation and Middle Eastern culture, or, as is commonly known, Islamic
culture against Judeo-Christian."
The Jerusalem Post (May 6, 1994): In April 1994, Israel's Hebrew press reported
that Christian Arabs had accused activists of Arafat's Fatah faction of the PLO
of harassing Franciscan nuns in the Aida convent near Bethlehem. One nun
described as a "reign of terror" the behaviour of the activists, who allegedly
regularly invaded the convent, vandalised graves, destroyed equipment and
painted graffiti.
CNN (December 20, 1995): "Today, Bethlehem is a predominantly Muslim town. At
Friday prayers, they spill into Manger Square [the traditional site of Jesus'
birth], so crowded are the mosques. Christians complain they're publicly
harassed and harangued for their faith. The Christian cemetery has been
desecrated and vandalised ... this Christian boy said the Muslims are fascists,
bad people. Muslim families of 10 and 12 children leave smaller Christian
families awash in an Islamic sea, afraid they will be overwhelmed by the refugee
camps and Muslim villages around Bethlehem. Many of the town's Christians are
afraid to talk openly now."
The Times (London, December 22, 1997): "Life in [PA-ruled] Bethlehem has become
insufferable for many members of the dwindling Christian minority. Increasing
Muslim-Christian tensions have left some Christians reluctant to celebrate
Christmas in the town at the heart of the story of Christ's birth".
What can we do to help these Christians?
"only a Jewish-Christian alliance will be able to ensure the survival for both
the Jews and the Christians in the Middle East"
- Professor Walid Phares, president of the World Lebanese Organisation
By Amira El Ahl, Daniel Steinvorth, Volkhard Windfuhr and Bernhard Zand
Violence, terrorism and the Islamists' growing influence pose a threat to
Christianity in the Middle East. In some countries, members of an unpopular
Christian minority are already fighting for their survival -- or fleeing for
their lives.
In New Baghdad, the driver of a minibus, a Shiite named Ali, set out at 7 a.m.
on the last Sunday before Christmas. A few hours earlier he had received a call
on his mobile phone with instructions to pick up five passengers for a long trip
outside the city. His first passenger, he had been told, would tell him who the
other passengers were and what their destination would be. He was also told not
to mention a word to anyone.
The first passenger was a 24-year-old man named Raymon, who was sitting on his
suitcase a few blocks away. He directed Ali through the city's dreary east side,
where having a Shiite as a driver is a smart move -- first to the Karrada
district, where Amir and Fariz boarded the bus, and then to Selakh, where Wassim
and Qarram were waiting. By 9 a.m., Ali had picked up all of his passengers and
the bus left Baghdad and began traveling to the northeast -- for the
350-kilometre (218-mile) journey to Kurdistan, the only part of Iraq that is
anything close to safe.
The five young men traveling in Ali's red Kia were the last seminary students at
the Chaldean Catholic Babel College to leave Baghdad. Four priests have been
abducted since mid-August, and two others were murdered. Father Sami, the
director of the seminary, was kidnapped in early December. The community managed
to raise $75,000 to buy his freedom, but after hesitating for weeks, Emmanuel
III, the Chaldean patriarch, decided to withdraw the teaching institutions of
his community from Baghdad. He ordered the evacuation of the city's four
Catholic churches, the Hurmis monastery and the college in the city's Dura
neighbourhood, but chose to remain behind in the city as the lonely shepherd of
a rapidly shrinking congregation.
A history that traces back to the Ottoman Empire
Present-day Iraq was still part of the Ottoman Empire when Iraq's Catholics
opened their first priest seminary. They moved it from Mosul to Baghdad 45 years
ago and, in 1991, untouched by then dictator Saddam Hussein's regime, they
founded the Babel College for Philosophy and Theology in Dora. It would only
exist there for 15 years, a flicker in the history of the Chaldean people. "I
don't know when or whether we will ever return," says Bashar Varda, the man
Father Sami has entrusted with running the seminary.
Christians have lived in the Arab world for the past 2,000 years. They were
there before the Muslims. Their current predicament is not the first crisis they
have faced and, compared to the massacres of the past, it is certainly not the
most severe in Middle Eastern Christianity. But in some countries, it could be
the last one. Even the pope, in his Christmas address, mentioned the "small
flock" of the faithful in the Middle East, who he said are forced to live with
"little light and too much shadow," and demanded that they be given more rights.
There are no reliable figures on the size of Christian minorities in the Middle
East. This is partly attributable to an absence of statistics, and partly to the
politically charged nature of producing such statistics in the first place.
Lebanon's last census was taken 74 years ago. Saddam Hussein, a Sunni who is
himself part of a minority, was fundamentally opposed to compiling
denominational statistics. In Egypt the number of Christians fluctuates between
five and 12 million, depending on who is counting.
Given the lack of hard numbers, demographers must rely on estimates, whereby
Christians make up about 40 percent of the population in Lebanon, less than 10
percent in Egypt and Syria, two to four percent in Jordan and Iraq and less than
one percent in North Africa. But the major political changes that are currently
affecting the Middle East have led to shrinking Christian minorities. In East
Jerusalem, where half of the population was Christian until 1948, the year of
the first Arab-Israeli war, less than five percent of residents are Christian
today. In neighbouring Jordan, the number of Christians was reduced by half
between the 1967 Six Day War and the 1990s. There were only 500,000 Christians
still living in Iraq until recently, compared to 750,000 after the 1991 Gulf
War. Wassim, one of the seminary students now fleeing to Kurdistan, estimates
that half of those remaining Christians have emigrated since the 2003 US
invasion, most of them in the last six months.
Greater affluence
Demographics have accelerated this development. Christians, often better
educated and more affluent than their Muslim neighbours, have fewer children.
Because the wave of emigration has been going on for decades, many Middle
Eastern Christians now have relatives in Europe, North America and Australia who
help them emigrate. Their high level of education increases their chances of
obtaining visas. Those who leave are primarily members of the elite: doctors,
lawyers and engineers.
But there are deeper-seated reasons behind the most recent exodus: the demise of
secular movements and the growing influence of political Islam in the Middle
East.
It was a Syrian Christian, Michel Aflaq, who founded the nationalist Baath
movement in 1940, a career ladder for Iraqi Christians until 2003 and still a
political safe haven for many Syrian Christians today. Former Egyptian President
Gamal Abd al-Nasser had no qualms about paying homage to the Virgin Mary, who
supposedly appeared on a church roof in a Cairo suburb after Egypt's defeat in
its 1967 war with Israel. And former Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, who
died in 2004, insisted on sitting in the first row in Bethlehem's Church of the
Nativity during the annual Christmas service.
But those days are gone. The last prominent Christians -- Chaldean Tariq Aziz,
Saddam's foreign minister for many years, and Hanan Ashrawi, Arafat's education
minister -- have vanished from the political stage in the Middle East. And since
the election victories of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Hamas in the
Palestinian Authority, the rise of Hezbollah in Lebanon and the bloody power
struggles between Sunni and Shiite militias in Iraq, the illusion that Christian
politicians could still play an important role in the Arab world is gone once
and for all.
Part 2: A history of discrimination
Egypt's Coptic Christians, numbering at least 5 million, are by far the Middle
East's largest Christian minority. The Coptic Christian Church, which dates back
to St. Mark the Evangelist, begins its calendar in 284 A.D., the high point of
Roman persecution of Christians. Its spiritual leader is the 83-year-old Pope
Shenouda III.
Coptic activists have been complaining about discrimination at the hands of the
Egyptian state for years. Yussuf Sidham, editor-in-chief of Watani, a Coptic
weekly newspaper, says that unlike the 1970s, there is little open violence
between Muslims and Christians today. "Instead," he continues, "we are now
struggling against the sick ideas of Islamic fundamentalists. There is an
ever-widening gap between liberal and fundamentalist forces."
When Egyptians elected a new parliament in 2005, the ruling National Democratic
Party included only two Copts on its list of 444 candidates -- and today only
one cabinet member, the finance minister, is a Coptic Christian. Sidham faults
the party for promoting this way of thinking. "The party says that candidates
were elected because of their religious affiliation. Copts stand less of a
chance. So why put forward Copts as candidates in the first place?"
This sort of persecution is nothing new in Egypt. When Napoleon's troops
advanced into the Nile delta in 1798 and occupied Egypt, they noticed strange
customs. Coptic women were required to wear one blue and one red shoe. The men
were permitted to ride on horseback, but only facing backwards. The French
quickly realised that the Copts were subjects "de troisième classe" --
third-class citizens. Some continue to feel that way today.
When Christians apply for an identification card in Egypt, they are occasionally
registered as Muslims -- without their knowledge. Once the record is official,
it can take up to a dozen visits to the relevant government agency to amend the
entry.
For decades, obtaining a permit to build a new church in Egypt was a true test
of patience for Coptic Christians. Under an archaic Egyptian law from the
Ottoman days, no less than the president's approval was required for a project
as insignificant as repairing a church roof. Hosni Mubarak, the current
president, only abolished the law last year.
Coptic women who work for the government and refuse to wear a headscarf are
routinely harassed, as are Coptic men who find themselves working for the wrong
company. A 31-year-old employee of a major American software company says that
his boss faces daily harassment. His problem, says the employee, is not that he
is a poor supervisor, but simply that he is a Copt.
Life is even more difficult for the estimated 100 Egyptian Muslims who convert
to Christianity each year. Violence erupted in Alexandria in October 2005 after
a play was performed about a Copt who regrets his conversion to Islam. A number
of Muslim demonstrators were killed and a church was damaged. Abandoning one's
faith is a serious crime in the eyes of most Muslims. But for Christians who
want to convert to Islam, the government has even introduced a streamlined
procedure. About 1,000 Copts convert to Islam each year.
Trouble for Lebanon's Maronites
When Christian missionaries were about to embark on a mission to convert the
Saracens, St. Francis of Assisi told them: "The Lord says: Behold I send you
forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Begin neither quarrels nor disputes."
Nothing could be further from the thoughts of Nasrallah Sfeir, 86, than to
preach about missionary work. Sfeir, the patriarch of the Maronites, Lebanon's
largest Christian community, faces an entirely different problem: His flock is
abandoning him.
Sfeir shuns the bustling streets of Beirut, choosing instead to reside in a
magnificent sandstone palace in the Cedar Mountains, where he lived in the
summer during the war with Israel. He is still wrestling with the consequences
today. Sfeir is both a religious leader and a politician. Black limousines are
regularly parked in front of his estate, mainly those of wealthy Christians
seeking the patriarch's religious and political advice.
His visitors enter a long hall lined on both sides with ornamental wooden
benches. The Maronite patriarch sits beneath a portrait of Pope John Paul II. He
looks tired, as an advisor whispers into his ear. Then the old man speaks,
quietly but clearly and with sharp language. He criticises Iran and Syria for
abusing Lebanon as a proxy battlefield, and Hezbollah for having established,
with Iran's help, a state within a state. These things are unacceptable, says
Sfeir. "We are the smallest and weakest state in the Arab world!"
The patriarch's voice is melancholy as he discusses the consequences of
political upheaval, especially the growing numbers of Christians now leaving
Lebanon. According to Maronite church leaders, more than 730,000 emigrated
during the Lebanese civil war from 1975 to 1990, with another 100,000 abandoning
the country this past summer.
According to Sfeir, other Christian denominations, including the Greek Orthodox,
Greek Catholic and Armenian Christian communities are also dwindling, leading to
a decline in Christian political influence in Lebanon. "It is unlikely," says
Sfeir, "but if Hezbollah were to assume power one day, the Christians in this
country would emigrate in even greater numbers."
If that happened Lebanon, traditionally a safe haven for minorities, would lose
one of it oldest religious communities. In the ninth century the Maronites,
whose name is derived from St. Maron, a Syrian monk, fled into the mountains of
Lebanon to escape Muslim persecution, and in the 12th century they joined the
Roman Catholic Church.
"We even survived the Crusades," says the patriarch. "Now the war is driving
people away. They are losing hope. But we have also seen the opposite taking
place. We have had Christian heads of state in Lebanon since the 1940s -- the
first time this has happened in four centuries -- and our Muslim fellow citizens
have had no objections."
Sfeir is referring to Lebanon's fragile proportional system of government, under
which the president must be a Christian, the prime minister a Sunni and the
speaker of parliament a Shiite. But the system, put in place in 1943, has long
since been rendered obsolete by demographics. Sfeir senses that the political
balance of power has also changed -- and does not favor Christians.
Hope in Syria and Iraq's Turkish Autonomous Zone
Many Christians currently see a ray of hope in neighbouring Syria. Since the
fall of Baghdad, the regime in Damascus, isolated by the United States, has
taken in many thousands of Iraqi refugees. In doing so, it has demonstrated to
the West the long-forgotten merits of the Arab nationalist Baath Party's
non-denominational doctrine. "Nobody here cares whether we are Sunnis, Shiites
or Christians," says Farid Awwad, a souvenir vendor who fled Iraq.
Awwad's 12-year-old daughter was killed in an attack on a Chaldean church in
Baghdad two years ago. "No one can take away our pain," he says. "But at least
we can live here, where we are treated like brothers."
The number of Christians within the Syrian Baath Party organisation is
disproportionately high, although most are non-practicing. Their presence in
government service, including the military and intelligence agencies, is
unprecedented in the Arab world. President Bashar Assad recently opened a
conference of Arab law associations under the motto: "The fatherland is for
everything, but religion is a matter for God" -- words that would be alienating
if not impossible in countries with a stronger Islamic influence. In Saudi
Arabia, for example, which has no Christian minority of its own but employs tens
of thousands of Christian guest workers from the Indian subcontinent and Africa,
Christian church services are banned and punishable with severe penalties.
Bibles and crucifixes are routinely confiscated. The Wahhabite religious police,
the Muttawah, have even been known to raid private religious services.
Other Gulf states are more liberal, although religious freedom in the Western
sense is virtually nonexistent in Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
The Islamist opposition in Damascus, especially the banned Muslim Brotherhood,
disparages the country's unpopular Christians as "worshippers of a godless
regime."
There is only one other region of the Middle East where Christians enjoy
freedoms comparable to those in Syria: the Kurdish Autonomous Zone in northern
Iraq.
Several Christian parties recently introduced an unusual bill in the regional
parliament in Arbil, the Kurdish capital. They proposed the establishment of a
Christian autonomous zone in the eastern portion of the Iraqi province of
Nineveh, the traditional homeland of Assyrian Christians and now partly
controlled by Kurdish Peshmerga fighters. Under the bill, the Chaldean, Syrian
and Assyrian Christian minorities would be granted official status under the
constitution -- first by the Kurdish regional parliament and then by the
National Assembly in Baghdad.
The plan, which is everything but Christian folklore, has a good chance of
succeeding. Units of the 750-member Hamdaniyah Brigade -- a Christian militia
that defends its churches with the same tactics Sunni and Shiite militias use in
central Iraq to defend their mosques -- are already patrolling the streets of
Bartalla, a fast-growing Christian settlement 20 kilometres (12 miles) east of
Mosul, the violence-ridden provincial capital. Bearded men wielding Kalashnikovs
stand guard at a barrier in front of the town's Syrian Orthodox Church of the
Virgin Mary. Photography is strictly forbidden.
"What else can we do?" asks Ghanem Gorges, the 43-year-old mayor of Karamlis, a
Chaldean village a few kilometres south of Bartalla. Armed men, presumably
mujahedeen from nearby Mosul, forced their way into the village four times this
fall. Two weeks ago they kidnapped and murdered Shakib Paulus, a 25-year-old
crane operator, whose body was found on the street in Arbil a few days later.
Anyone wishing to attend services at St. Peter's Cathedral in Arbil must first
pass a guard carrying an automatic pistol. A huge new building, to be used as a
dormitory for the Babel College students who fled Baghdad, was dedicated at
Christmas on the cathedral grounds, which are surrounded by a tall fence.
At this year's Christmas service, Pastor Sisar did not deliver his sermon in
Aramaic, the old church language of northern Iraq's Christians, as is customary
in Arbil. This time the mass was held in Arabic, because, like the pastor, the
400 men and women attending the service are all from Baghdad.
Sisar ended his sermon with the words "Barakat Allah aleikum" -- "May the
blessing of the Lord be with you."
Converts from Islam to Christianity are often hunted in the Muslim world, where
virtually all religious authorities agree that such individuals deserve death.
Muhammad himself commanded such a punishment: “Whoever changed his Islamic
religion, then kill him.” This is still the position of all the schools of
Islamic jurisprudence, although there is some disagreement over whether the law
applies only to men, or to women also.
At Cairo’s Al-Azhar University, the most prestigious and influential institution
in the Islamic world, an Islamic manual certified as a reliable guide to Sunni
Muslim orthodoxy states: “When a person who has reached puberty and is sane
voluntarily apostatises from Islam, he deserves to be killed.” Although the
right to kill an apostate is reserved in Muslim law to the leader of the
community and other Muslims can theoretically be punished for taking this duty
upon themselves, in practice a Muslim who kills an apostate needs to pay no
indemnity and perform no expiatory acts (as he must in other kinds of murder
cases under classic Islamic law). This accommodation is made because killing an
apostate “is killing someone who deserves to die.”
IslamOnline, a website manned by a team of Islam scholars headed by the
internationally influential Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, explains, “If a sane
person who has reached puberty voluntarily apostatises from Islam, he deserves
to be punished. In such a case, it is obligatory for the caliph (or his
representative) to ask him to repent and return to Islam. If he does, it is
accepted from him, but if he refuses, he is immediately killed.” And what if
someone doesn’t wait for a caliph to appear and takes matters into his own
hands? Although the killer is to be “disciplined” for “arrogating the caliph’s
prerogative and encroaching upon his rights,” there is “no blood money for
killing an apostate (or any expiation)” – in other words, no significant
punishment for the killer.
An Afghan named Abdul Rahman knows all this well. In February 2006, he was
arrested for the crime of leaving Islam for Christianity. The Afghan
Constitution stipulates that “no law can be contrary to the beliefs and
provisions of the sacred religion of Islam.” Even after his arrest, Western
analysts seem to have had trouble grasping the import of this provision. A
“human rights expert” quoted by the Times of London summed up confusion
widespread in Western countries: “The constitution says Islam is the religion of
Afghanistan, yet it also mentions the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and
Article 18 specifically forbids this kind of recourse. It really highlights the
problem the judiciary faces.”
But in fact there was contraction. The Constitution may declare its “respect”
for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but it also says that no law can
contradict Islamic law. The Constitution’s definition of religious freedom is
explicit: “The religion of the state of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan is
the sacred religion of Islam. Followers of other religions are free to exercise
their faith and perform their religious rites
within the limits of the provisions of
law” [My emphasis].
The Islamic death penalty for apostasy is deeply ingrained in Islamic culture --
which is one reason why it was Abdul Rahman’s own family that went to police to
file a complaint about his conversion. Whatever triggered their action in 2006,
they could be confident that the police would receive such a complaint with the
utmost seriousness.
After an international outcry, Abdul Rahman was eventually spirited out of
Afghanistan to relative safety in Italy. Despite the publicity, his case was
hardly unique.

A "mock beheading" video located at radical Sheikh Abu Hamza's website
(www.shareeah.org ), which featured three young Muslim boys who pretended to
behead a fourth[1], has elicited the appropriate public revulsion. But little
fanfare, let alone outrage, has accompanied the release of a detailed study of
Egyptian children's textbooks, whose inculcation of anti-infidel hatred is
potentially far more damaging[2]. For example, explicit sanctioning for
jihad-related beheadings is provided in a seemingly pedestrian manner:
"Studies in Theology: Tradition and Morals, Grade 11, (2001) pp. 291-92
...This noble [Qur'anic] Surah [Surat Muhammad]... deals with questions of which
the most important are as follows: 'Encouraging the faithful to perform jihad in
God's cause, to behead the infidels, take them prisoner, break their power, and
make their souls humble - all that in a style which contains the highest
examples of urging to fight. You see that in His words: "When you meet the
unbelievers in the battlefield strike off their heads and, when you have laid
them low, bind your captives firmly. Then grant them their freedom or take a
ransom from them, until war shall lay down its burdens.'"
"Commentary on the Surahs of Muhammad, Al-Fath, Al-Hujurat and Qaf, Grade 11,
(2002) p. 9
When you meet them in order to fight [them], do not be seized by compassion
[towards them] but strike the[ir] necks powerfully.... Striking the neck means
fighting, because killing a person is often done by striking off his head. Thus,
it has become an expression for killing even if the fighter strikes him
elsewhere. This expression contains a harshness and emphasis that are not found
in the word "kill", because it describes killing in the ugliest manner, i.e.,
cutting the neck and making the organ - the head of the body - fly off [the
body].' "
Although chilling to our modern sensibilities, particularly when being taught to
children, these are merely classical interpretations of the rules for jihad war,
based on over a millennium of Muslim theology and jurisprudence[3]. And the
context of these teachings is unambiguous, as the translator makes clear:
"[the] concept of jihad is interpreted in the Egyptian school curriculum almost
exclusively as a military endeavor? it is war against God's enemies, i.e., the
infidels? it is war against the homeland's enemies and a means to strengthening
the Muslim states in the world. In both cases, jihad is encouraged, and those
who refrain from participating in it are denounced."
Teaching Egyptian school children anti-infidel jihad hatred is clearly a long,
ongoing , and ignoble tradition even within the modern era. As the scholar E. W.
Lane reported after several years of residence in both Cairo and Luxor
(initially in 1825-1828, then in 1833-1835):
"I am credibly informed that children in Egypt are often taught at school, a
regular set of curses to denounce upon the persons and property of Christians,
Jews, and all other unbelievers in the religion of Mohammad”[4].
Lane translated the prayer below from a contemporary 19th century text Arabic
text, containing a typical curse on non-Muslims, recited daily by Muslim
schoolchildren:
"I seek refuge with God from Satan the accursed. In the name of God, the
Compassionate, the Merciful. O God, aid El-Islam, and exalt the word of truth,
and the faith, by the preservation of thy servant and the son of thy servant,
the Sultan of the two continents (Europe and Asia), and the Khakan (Emperor or
monarch) of the two seas [the Mediterranean and Black Seas], the Sultan, son of
the Sultan (Mahmood) Khan (the reigning Sultan when this prayer was composed).
O God, assist him, and assist his armies,
and all the forces of the Muslims: O Lord of the beings of the whole world. O
God, destroy the infidels and polytheists, thine enemies, the enemies of the
religion. O God, make their children orphans, and defile their abodes, and cause
their feet to slip, and give them and their families, and their households and
their women and their children and their relations by marriage and their
brothers and their friends and their possessions and their race and their wealth
and their lands as booty to the Muslims: O Lord of the beings of the whole
world." [5]
The seminal modern scholar of Islamic civilisation, S.D. Goitein, warned more
than a century later, in 1949, speaking of the Arab world generally, in
particular Egypt:
"Islamic fanaticism” is now openly encouraged. Writers whose altogether Western
style (was mentioned earlier) have been vying with each other for some time in
compiling books on the heroes and virtues of Islam. What has now become possible
in educated circles may be gathered from the following quotation from an issue
of the ”New East”, an Arab monthly
periodical describing itself as the organ of the academic youth of the East:
Let us fight fanatically for our religion; let us love a man-because he is a
Muslim; let us honour a man- because he is a Muslim; let us prefer him to anyone
else-because he is a Muslim; and never let us make friends with unbelievers,
because they have nothing but evil for us[6].
And a decade later, in 1958, Lebanese Law Professor Antoine Fattal, perhaps the
greatest scholar of the legal condition of non-Muslims living under the Shari'a,
lamented:
"No social relationship, no fellowship is possible between Muslims and
dhimmis... Even today, the study of the
jihad is part of the curriculum of all the Islamic institutes. In the
universities of Al-Azhar, Nagaf, and Zaitoune, students are still taught that
the holy war is a binding prescriptive decree, pronounced against the Infidels,
which will only be revoked with the end of the world..."
Sadly, almost fifty years after Fattal made his observations, the sacralised
hatred of jihad is still being inculcated as part of the formal education of
Muslim youth in Egypt, the most populous Arab country, and throughout the Arab
Muslim, and larger non-Arab Muslim world. We in the West must press our
political and religious leaders to demand that such bellicose, hate-mongering
"educational" practices be abolished in Islamic nations, under threat of severe,
broad ranging economic sanctions.

Introduction
Over the last two years, as a result of major terrorist attacks in Madrid and
London, European leaders have finally become aware of a lurking extremist threat
that has been brewing in dark corners across the continent for almost two
decades. Western European democracies—many of whom thought that they were
insulated from the threat of organised international terrorism—are discovering
growing numbers of disaffected Muslim youth, hardened by scenes of televised
bloodshed in the Middle East and the unwelcoming demeanor of some “native”
Europeans. Frustrated by a perceived lack of social or political mobility, these
men eventually become ideal recruits for the growing network of “pan-European
mujahideen.”
However, to fully understand the current mujahideen phenomenon in Europe, one
must first recognise its proper origins. Ironically, the flourishing of local
Muslim extremist movements during the 1990s came primarily not as a result of
Usama Bin Laden’s progress in Sudan and Afghanistan—but, arguably, rather due to
a Muslim conflict much closer to the heart of Europe. Indeed, some of the most
important factors behind the contemporary radicalisation of European Muslim
youth can be found in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where the cream of the Arab mujahideen
from Afghanistan tested their battle skills in the post-Soviet era and mobilised
a new generation of pan-Islamic revolutionaries. When I spoke to Al-Qaida
recruiter Abu Hamza al-Masri in London in 2002, he tried to explain to me the
mindset of the first volunteers who came to Bosnia at the start of the war in
1992: “People are dedicated to the [religion]… They went to Afghanistan to
defend their brothers and sisters. So, they find Afghanistan now, the
destruction of war and Muslims fighting against each other.” As a result, in the
aftermath
of the Afghan jihadi debacle, “they want to [struggle against] something that is
indisputable, which is non-Muslims raping, killing, and maiming Muslims.”[1]
The Bosnian conflict was cynically offered by jihad recruiters to desperate
youths
in many European capitals as a chivalrous escape from the drudgery of their own
boring urban lives. Yet even some of the smartest and most promising members of
the European Muslim community were sucked into this bizarre netherworld. “Abu
Ibrahim”, a 21-year old medical student from London at Birmingham University,
took a break during training in Bosnia to be interviewed for a jihad propaganda
video. Brandishing an automatic weapon, he scoffed:
“When you come here, people they think, ‘when you go into Bosnia you are sitting
around and there are shells coming down and they are firing everywhere around
you.’ They don’t know that we sit here and we have kebab. They don’t know that
we have ice cream and we have cake here. They don’t know that we can telephone
or fax anywhere in the world. They don’t know that this is a nice holiday for us
where you meet some of the best people you have ever met in your life. People
from all over the world, people from Brazil, from Japan, from China, from the
Middle East, from America, North, South, Canada, Australia, all over the world
you meet people.”[2]
Beyond its propaganda value, Bosnia’s unique geographic position directly
between Western Europe and the Middle East was the ideal jumping-off point for
organisational expansion of various Muslim extremist movements into the United
Kingdom, Italy, France, and even Scandinavia. Bosnia provided an environment
where trained foreign Muslim fighters arriving from Afghanistan could mingle
with unsophisticated but eager terrorist recruits from Western Europe, and could
form new plans for the future of the jihad. No such contact had ever occurred
before for groups like Al-Gama’at al-Islamiyya and Al-Qaida, and it provided
these organisations limitless possibilities for development and growth. After
fighting for six months during the opening stages of the Bosnian war in 1992,
Saudi Al-Qaida commander Abu Abdel Aziz “Barbaros” told journalists during a
fundraising trip to Kuwait, “I have come out of Bosnia only to tell the Muslims
that at this time this offers us a great opportunity… Allah has opened the way
of jihad, we should not waste it… This is a great opportunity now to make Islam
enter Europe via jihad. This can only be accomplished through jihad. If we stop
the jihad now we will have lost this opportunity.”[3]
For their part, the European radicals inducted into the ranks of the foreign
mujahideen in Bosnia were equally eager to make themselves useful. Babar Ahmad—a
British Muslim currently awaiting possible extradition to the United States to
face charges of running an Al-Qaida support cell in London—boasted in an early
jihadi audiotape that the contributions of the new European mujahideen were
“instrumental”:
“[I]nstrumental… not just to the jihad in Bosnia, but the world-wide jihad, for
what they managed to achieve. And you think this is an exaggeration, but by the
hands of the brothers they did many things that you wouldn’t believe. Books were
translated and produced, in the front-lines, because you had the English
brothers that could speak English and the Arab brothers that could speak Arabic
and a bit of English, and they go together and translated books about Jihad.
Now, these books are guiding other brothers back to the Jihad again. They’ve
computerised whole computer networks because of their computer knowledge.”[4]
From the moment the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina began in 1992, the Bosnian
Muslim government secretly tracked the arrival of foreign volunteers from Europe
seeking to wage a jihad, or “holy struggle”, against the Christian Serbs and
Croats. According to ARBiH military intelligence documents, “the channels for
their arrival in [Bosnia] went through the Republic of Croatia, majority of them
came from Western Europe and Great Britain and they have the passports from
these countries. According to the operative information from the State security
service, a large number of these people were recruited and transported to the
BiH area through… London and Milan, and there are some indications that some
individuals also came through Frankfurt and Munich.”[5] A second document from
Bosnian Muslim military intelligence detailing the infrastructure of the foreign
mujahideen brigade lists the names of prominent individual jihad financiers and
recruiters based in Zagreb, London, Vienna, Milan, and Torino.[6]
The Bosnians also noticed something else about their new would-be European
Muslim allies: while some genuinely sought to defend innocent Muslims, others
were fleeing to Bosnia after being “expelled from their [home] countries for
various reasons and they cannot return there.”[5] ARBiH memoranda suggest that
the Bosnian Muslim military regarded mujahideen arriving from Afghanistan and
the Middle East as potentially useful, but reserved a much more skeptical
attitude towards some of their idealistic and irreverent young comrades who
hailed from various capitals of Western Europe. In a report written in September
1994, sources within the ARBiH Security Service Department warned that “their
not providing their personal data is most probably due to possible links with
[intelligence services] or having committed criminal offenses in their countries
of origin, for in case their countries learnt about their stay here, they would
demand their extradition.”[8] A second analytical report from the ARBiH Military
Security Service issued in May 1995 further noted that, “a significant number of
these persons [who] entered in our country are from some West European countries
and they have the citizenships and passports from those countries… After the
arrival in our country, these persons are hiding their identity and as members
of the unit ‘El Mudzahedin’ they submit the requests to enter the BiH
citizenship… because they are the persons from the Interpol wanted
circulars.”[5]
One of the European mujahideen cited in particular by the Bosnian Muslims for
his thuggish behaviour was “Abu Walid”, a medic “originally from France” who
reportedly seized control of a local hospital in Zenica in July 1994 with
weapons drawn and “harassed the medical staff there. Simultaneously, outside
the… Center, there were ten armed members of ‘El-Mujahidin’ Unit.”8 Within
months of being discharged of his duties with the foreign mujahideen in
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Abu Walid—better known as French Muslim convert Christophe
Caze—went on to lead an infamous Algerian Armed Islamic Group (GIA) terrorist
network based in northern France known as the “Roubaix Gang.”[11] Caze was
eventually killed during a suicidal highway battle with local police near the
Belgian border as he fled French counter-terrorism investigators in mid-1996.
Even the mujahideen themselves were critical of some of the hotheaded European
volunteers recruited by Syrian Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas (a.k.a. Abu Dahdah) in
Madrid, Spain for the purpose of waging jihad in Bosnia. When Barakaat
telephoned a mujahideen training camp in Zenica in November 1995 to check on his
new crop of students, the personnel director at the camp picked up the line and
“complain[ed] about the young men who had been sent by Barakat to the camp.”[12]
Yarkas was finally arrested by Spanish authorities in 2001 and sentenced to a
27-year jail term for providing substantial logistical support to, among others,
the 9/11 suicide hijackers dispatched by Al-Qaida.[13]
However, while the new European faces among the mujahideen may have caused
consternation in some Bosnian government circles, generally speaking, the
foreign terrorist organisations active in the region (primarily Al-Qaida,
Al-Gama’at al-Islamiyya, and the GIA) were pleased to benefit from the situation
and use the Bosnian war as a massive engine for recruitment and financing. In
December 1995, these terrorist commanders further profited from NATO’s interest
in expelling the foreign mujahideen from Bosnia. Hundreds of veteran fighters,
accused of brutal wartime atrocities and expertly trained in urban warfare, were
readily granted political asylum in a collection of European countries,
Australia, and Canada. It was a devious tactic that allowed nefarious groups
like the GIA to infiltrate several Western European nations with highly skilled
and motivated terrorist sleeper cells. A French report written by French
counterterrorism magistrate Jean-Louis Bruguière later concluded that the
“exfiltration” of significant numbers of veteran fighters from Bosnia was
beneficial in the sense that it enabled the mujahideen “to be useful again in
spreading the Jihad across other lands.” In fact, as Bruguière noted in his
report, “among the veterans of the ‘Moudjahiddin Battalion’ of Zenica, many
would go on to carry out terrorist acts following the end of the Bosnian
conflict.”[14]
The United Kingdom
Despite its relatively high standard of living and social equality, the United
Kingdom has been and remains one of the most active bases of radical Islam
across Western Europe. Certainly, it can be said that the Iranian revolution and
the war in Afghanistan together started the ball rolling for the Sunni British
fundamentalist movement. However, their ideas did not begin to have a wide
appeal among local Muslim youths until the era of Bosnia-Herzegovina. When
scenes of devastation and war crimes began to air on BBC television broadcasts,
many British Muslims were shocked that such horrific events could take place in
the context modern Europe without any Western intervention. It gave sudden and
unexpected credence to the calls of violent radicals who suggested it was time
for Muslims to start taking their personal security into their own hands. Dr.
Zaki Badawi, the principal (at that time) of the Muslim College in London,
acknowledged in early 1992, “Bosnia has shaken public opinion throughout the
Muslim world more deeply than anything since the creation of Israel in
1948.”[15]
The Bosnian war caused a particularly strong backlash in the outspoken circles
of
indignant British Muslim college students. These educated and idealistic youths
angrily protested against the persecution of fellow Muslims in Bosnia. One
student, a classmate of several men who had left to seek training in Afghanistan
and Bosnia, saw nothing wrong with taking up arms against the “enemies of
Islam”: “You cannot turn a blind eye when Muslims are being massacred, because
what will you do when it is happening on your doorstep?”16 Inside Bosnia, the
21-year old Londoner “Abu Ibrahim” criticised the “hypocrites” among his peers
back in Britain who swore revenge on the Serbs and Croats, yet were too afraid
to join the jihad in Bosnia:
“…what we lack here is Muslims that are prepared to suffer and sacrifice. There
in Britain, I see Muslims, every medical student is saying that my third year is
for Islam, my third year is for the Muslims. They get their job, they get their
surgery. 50, 60, £70,000 a year they’re earning. And then, no struggle, no
sacrifice.” Abu Ibrahim spoke of the intense sense of satisfaction he felt
fighting in the Bosnian war, as compared to the apathy of the secular Muslims
who remained in London. In Britain, “I watch the TV and tears roll down my face
when I see the Muslims in Bosnia, Muslims in Palestine, Muslims in Kashmir. And
then I come [to Bosnia] and you feel a sense of satisfaction. You feel that you
are fulfilling your duty. You feel that you are doing what the Prophet and his
companions done[sic] 1400 years ago.” [17] Another British recruit from south
London featured on the same Bosnia jihad video sneered, “this is what they like
to do in England, they like to talk, they like to talk, they like to organise…
big conferences… in the London Arena… and they make a nice conference… Then,
after the talk, they go back home and they sleep. They carry on watching
‘Neighbours’… They carry on watching ‘Coronation Street’… What life is this?
These people talk too much… You want to see true Muslims, with unity, come to
this place, and then you’ll see.”[17]
Even those who remained behind in the United Kingdom did their part to help the
cause of the mujahideen. Young activists in the fundamentalist Muslim Parliament
established a charity to support jihad in Bosnia that later became known as the
“Global Jihad Fund” (GJF).[19] According to its later website, the GJF was
established to aid “the Growth of various Jihad Movements around the World by
supplying them with sufficient Funds to purchase Weapons and train their
Individuals.”[20] Two months after the signing of the Dayton Accords officially
ending the Bosnian war, GJF administrators announced the distribution of a new
brochure entitled, “Islam—The New Target”: “Contents include… a reprint of an
acknowledgement certificate from the Commander of the Bosnian 7th Corps to
Muslim Parliament (on behalf of the fund). Why don’t you get a copy or many
copies of the brochure for local distribution or get a master to reprint. You
and your friends could use it to increase genocide awareness and Jihad awareness
in your locality.”[21] Two years later, following a twin Al-Qaida suicide
bombing attack on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, the administrators of
the GJF indicated that the fund was being run by Saudi Al-Qaida spokesman
Mohammed al-Massari and had found a new cause célébre in “support[ing] Sheikh
Mujahid Osama bin Laden.”[22] When confronted by British investigative
reporters, the GJF webmaster in London admitted, “I work for two people, really…
Mr. Massari and Osama Bin Laden.”[23]
On the battlefield in Bosnia, British-born mujahideen recruits had a noticeable
and significant impact. On June 13, 1993, a British patrol of four APC’s was
stopped at a roadblock near the central Bosnian town of Guca Gora.[24] A group
of approximately 50 mujahideen fighters, who “looked north African or Middle
Eastern,” had assembled there to intercept mobile enemy troops. The frightened
British soldiers told journalists later that the foreigners had long, wispy
beards, Afghan-style caps, and uniforms unlike anything worn by local Bosnian
guerillas.25 Though the jihadis instantly trained their rocket propelled grenade
launchers and rifles at the UN vehicles, the mujahideen commander on scene—an
unidentified British Muslim wearing an Afghan hat and a blue scarf over his
face—addressed the British officer in charge of the patrol, Major Vaughan
Kent-Payne, in perfect English and coldly reassured him, “be cool, these people
won’t
fire until I give them the order.”[26]
In the summer of 1993, the British mujahideen began to suffer their first series
of combat casualties, including a Muslim convert named David Sinclair. Sinclair
(a.k.a. Dawood al-Brittani) was a 29-year old employee of a computer company in
the UK. After suddenly converting to Islam and adopting traditional Muslim
dress, Sinclair ran into problems with senior management at his company. Within
a week of wearing his new clothes to work, he was reportedly terminated.
Mobilised into action, he thereupon decided to travel to Bosnia-Herzegovina and
to join the Islamic military organisation based there. In the midst of his
training, he generously gave away his two British passports to Arab-Afghan
“brothers in need.” Dawood refused to return to the UK evidently out of a
determination to avoid living the life of an infidel. During deadly clashes with
Croatian HVO forces, he was shot and killed near an enemy bunker.[27]
Indeed, British Muslims were present for some of the most important ARBiH
victories of the Bosnian war, including the conquest of the Vozuca region in
late summer 1995. That battle, popularly known among the Arab-Afghans as
“Operation BADR”, cost the lives of dozens of foreign fighters—including “Abu
Mujahid” from the United Kingdom, killed on September 10, 1995. Abu Mujahid was
a recent British university graduate who had finished his studies in 1993, when
the Islamic community in the UK was still in an uproar over the war crimes being
committed by the Serbs in Bosnia-Herzegovina. He first came to the Balkans in
1993 as a humanitarian aid worker purportedly transporting food and medicine to
the embattled Muslims in central Bosnia. Abu Mujahid was using his position as
charity employee as a cover for other, more illicit activities: “Over the next
two years Abu Mujahid hurried back and forth between Bosnia and Britain carrying
valuable supplies to the brothers there. Between trips he travelled the
length of Britain reaching its smaller parts in his efforts to raise money for
the cause and increase the awareness among Muslims there.” Abu Mujahid returned
to Bosnia-Herzegovina in August 1995 and enlisted in a jihad training camp soon
after his arrival, receiving instruction from—among others—two elite Egyptian
trainers imported to the region directly from Al-Qaida-run camps along the
Afghan-Pakistani border. For all his anti-Western vigor, Abu Mujahid nonetheless
proudly wore a G-Shock watch and U.S. Army boots. According to his teachers, he
“excelled” at shooting and throwing grenades and he insisted that he would
remain in Bosnia “‘until either we get victory or I am martyred’… One thing
which was strange about him was that he always used to say, thinking back, I
remember, maybe three, four, five times a day, he would say to me that
‘Inshallah [“God-willing”] I am going to be martyred. Inshallah, this time in
Bosnia, I am going to be martyred.’”[28]
Following the initial assault during Operation BADR, Abu Mujahid disappeared
in the fog of war. Over a week later, a mujahideen search party recovered his
body from the battlefield. One of the men who found Abu Mujahid later recalled,
“At that point, the thought that went through my mind was that the brother had
been there, left behind when I was there in Bosnia and he intended to stay there
longer than me. But only Allah knew what could he have done for him to die in
such a beautiful way? And the thought that’s still in our minds, Inshaallah, may
Allah accept it from him, and may the people who loved him in this life,
Inshaallah join him in the next.” Abu Mujahid’s body was brought back down from
the mountain and then taken in a van to the frontline base camp. The
lead commander present, Abu Hammam al-Najdi from Saudi Arabia, would only allow
fellow British mujahideen to go inside the van to see the remains of their
departed compatriot.[28]
The foreign mujahideen who survived the end of the war in 1995 grew apprehensive
when they discovered that the Bosnian Muslims were about to sign the Dayton
Accords—“the peace of the enemy”—with the United States and Europe. British
jihadi recruits were among the voices urging their commanders to wage an
apocalyptic all-out terror campaign in central Bosnia targeting Western
peacekeepers, the Serbs and Croats, and even other Muslims. In a direct
English-language message aimed at fellow British Muslims, one mujahid fighter
appealed, “the amir [commander] of the jihad… is here. And the amir of the
mujahideen here says he needs more people, and more equipment, and more
everything. So for the people who are sitting at home and saying that, ‘well,
they don’t need people anymore’, it’s not true, it’s not true… we need as many
people and as much money and everything that people can send us to help us.”[17]
One British Muslim guerilla recounted the discussions taking place at the
El-Mudzahedin Unit headquarters in a propaganda audiotape:
“[W]hen the Americans came to Bosnia… the situation had developed in such a way
that it seemed as if we were going to have to fight the Americans. And
[commander] Abul-Harith [the Libyan], he turned to me and he said, ‘We will
become an example for these Bosnians. We will fight for our belief and the lost
land. Please Allah, will give us victory and we will defeat [the Americans] or
they will kill us. But we will not flee, and we will be an example for the
Bosnians.’”[28]
According to various accounts, on the day of December 12, 1995, several fighters
had left a non-descript delivery van in the parking lot of the Zenica mujahideen
base. A Bosnian police investigation later concluded that these radicals were in
the final stages of “trying to rig a car bomb” when they ran into an unknown
technical error, and it prematurely exploded.[32] The massive and unexpected
detonation killed as many as four mujahideen bombmakers and injured several
other foreigners in the area. One wounded mujahid recounted, “You could feel the
explosion… like a shining light… as I was on the floor, I remember seeing the
face of Abul-Harith [the Libyan] as he ran to me. And he
took me and put me on the stretcher… And the building that he wanted to open, it
was locked. And Abul-Harith he didn’t look for the key, he just knocked the door
down and took me inside.”[28]
In this case, as reported by both Arab-Afghan and Bosnian authorities, the
deceased would-be bomber was an 18-year-old British honours student from
southwest London known as “Sayyad al-Falastini.” Sayyad was born in the United
Kingdom but spent most of his early youth in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. When
he returned to London at age 12, he soon became involved in the radical Islamic
fundamentalist movement there that was recruiting young volunteers for jihad in
Bosnia. At age 16, he first sought unsuccessfully to join the mujahideen
battalion in the Balkans after hearing an inspiring Friday khutba (religious
sermon) from an Arab veteran of Bosnia.[28]
However, after being elected president of the Islamic society at his college,
Sayyad started to methodically plan and save his money in a fund that would
finance his dreamed jihad adventure. According to the mujahideen, Sayyad
possessed this instinct because he was of Palestinian descent, and therefore,
there was “a background of realising the importance of Jihad in his family.”
During the summer of 1995, he left London and travelled to a Bosnian mujahideen
training camp, fighting alongside his fellow comrades during Operation BADR.
When combat hostilities gradually came to a halt after “BADR,” many foreign
volunteers began filtering out of Bosnia and returning home, including a number
of British recruits. But Sayyad was not ready to leave; his first taste of
battle had exhilarated him and changed his life. Among the mujahideen, despite
his young age, he was well liked and highly esteemed for his proficiency in
English, Arabic, and Bosnian. Sayyad did not want the war to end, grumbling
(like many of the Arabs) that the peace accords had been negotiated only “in
order to halt the victories of the Mujahideen in Bosnia… For three years the
world had sat back and allowed the slaughter of the Muslims to continue. But now
as soon as the Muslims began to fight back and win, they ended the war.” Even in
light of the Dayton agreement, Sayyad stubbornly refused to leave, and he
recommitted himself to keeping the Islamic jihad alive in Bosnia. In the first
few days of December, as the terms of Dayton were about to become a reality,
Sayyad was torn by despair as he saw his beloved combat tour coming to an
inexorable end. He angrily demanded of his fellow mujahideen, “Why are we all
lost? Look at the [infidels]. Are they thinking of us and then they are laughing
because they have their own state. But look at us, the Muslims, we do not even
have a state yet but we continue to laugh!”[28]
At this point, Sayyad started to act peculiarly, as if he was readying himself
for a
“martyrdom” operation. He would pray all night long and continuously recite
verses from the Qu’ran. Previously, he had telephoned his mother to ask her to
send some money for him to visit home. Suddenly, two days before the explosion
in Zenica, he called her and told her not to wire the cash as “he would not be
needing it.” There is good reason to believe that Sayyad may have been preparing
for an imminent role as a suicide bomber. Regardless of his intentions, on
December 12, something in his plan went terribly wrong. While Sayyad stood
beside the van, it prematurely detonated, shaking the entire neighbourhood and
thoroughly frightening nearby Croatian civilians.[28] By the “official” count of
Al-Qaida, Sayyad became the sixth British Islamic volunteer soldier killed in
Bosnia only two days shy of his nineteenth birthday. He was buried in a ceremony
attended “by over three hundred of the cream of the foreign Mujahideen
fighters in Bosnia.”[28] The Arab battalion later eulogised him:
“Sayyad was a brother who made Jihad his wealth and his life giving every penny
of his wealth for the pleasure of Allah and eventually giving every drop of his
blood for him. We ask Allah (SWT) to accept Sayyad as a martyr, to make him an
example for the millions of youth in the West who have chosen this life in
preference with the hereafter.”[38]
The shadow cast by British mujahideen volunteers in Bosnia-Herzegovina
continues to plague law enforcement and intelligence agencies even to this day.
On September 23, 2005, 34-year old British Muslim convert Andrew Rowe was
convicted and ordered jailed for 15 years by a court in the U.K. for possessing
details on how to fire mortar bombs and using secret codes to facilitate terror
attacks. Back during the early 1990s, Rowe dramatically changed his loose
lifestyle after converting at a mosque in Regent’s Park, London—an event which
Rowe said “put meaning into my life.”[39] Rowe admits to traveling to
Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1995 on a “humanitarian” mission—in reality, acting as an
envoy for the foreign mujahideen. When he returned to the U.K., he even claimed
government invalidity benefits for wounds suffered during an alleged mortar
attack in Bosnia-Herzegovina. In 2003, Rowe was arrested on the French side of
the Channel tunnel while carrying a bound pair of socks bearing traces of TNT,
plastic explosives, RDX, and nitroglycerine. According to Crown Prosecutors, the
socks were likely used “to clean the barrel of a mortar or as a muzzle
protector.”[39] Raids on Rowe’s various residences revealed coded documents with
phrases such as “airline crew,” “explosives,” and “army base.” Investigators
also found video recordings of jihad in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the September 11
terrorist attacks, and Al-Qaida leader Usama Bin Laden.[39]
Italy
Perhaps more than any other nation in Europe, Italy played an overly dominant
role in hosting the transnational infrastructure of the Bosnian El-Mudzahedin
Unit during the mid-1990s. Italy was one of the very few Western European
nations to provide a direct land route through Croatia into Muslim Bosnia,
and—even prior to the conflict in the Balkans—was serving as an important hub
for activity by various North African Islamic extremist groups, including: the
GIA, Al Gama’at al-Islamiyya, the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, and the Tunisian
An-Nahdah movement. By the time of the war in 1992-1993, forces within the
influential Al-Gama’at al-Islamiyya had already designated Italy as one of three
primary “support places” in Europe for its regional activities.[42]
No individual from Italy had a greater impact on the Bosnian mujahideen than
former top Al-Gama’at al-Islamiyya commander in southern Europe, Shaykh Anwar
Shaaban (a.k.a. Abu Abdelrahman al-Masri), the late Imam at Milan’s Islamic
Cultural Institute and the one-time overarching leader of Arab mujahideen forces
fighting alongside the ARBiH.43 Shaaban was a well-known veteran of the Afghan
jihad who (like many other Arab-Afghans) in 1991 decided he no longer felt safe
in Afghanistan as it collapsed into civil turmoil.[44] He sought and obtained
political asylum in Italy, and was disappointed by what he found: “the Muslim
community in Italy was just the same as elsewhere in Europe: asleep and busy in
the worldly affairs.” Aided by a collection of Afghan war veterans and Italian
Islamists, Anwar Shaaban opened a major new headquarters in a converted garage
in Milan. Knowledgeable mujahideen sources have praised Shaaban’s efforts in
Milan, and noted that Islamic Cultural Institute was “the center of much
activity and it gained much popularity amongst the local Muslims.”[28]
Similarly, L’Houssaine Kherchtou, a former Moroccan member of the Al-Qaida
terrorist organisation, testified during the federal trial of four Al-Qaida
operatives in the U.S. that Shaaban used the Islamic Cultural Institute as a
critical Arab-Afghan recruiting center for young Muslim extremists living in
Europe. According to Kherchtou, Shaaban had personally helped arrange Pakistani
visas for him and three other mujahideen recruits who then went on to an
Al-Qaida military training camp in eastern Afghanistan.[46] French
counterterrorism officials concluded that the ICI in Milan, under the lead of
Shaaban, served an “essential role” as a command center for a variety of North
African armed militant groups including Al-Gama’at Al-Islamiyya, the Tunisian
An-Nahdah, and the Algerian GIA.[47] After searching Anwar Shaaban’s office at
the ICI, Italian counterterrorism police concurred that the Institute was
“characterised by… a constant closeness to the activities of Egyptian terrorist
organisations, especially those of [Al-Gama’at al-Islamiyya], in the area of
strategic and operational choices… the recruiting of mujaheddin for the
Yugoslavian territories…. the establishment of a European network for the
connection among fundamentalist cells… [and] logistic and operational support to
the armed cells active on Egyptian soil.”[42]
In the summer of 1992, Shaykh Anwar Shaaban helped lead the first quasi-official
Arab-Afghan delegation to arrive in Bosnia, accompanied by a number of his
Italian colleagues. As the fighters themselves have testified, “Sheik Anwar was
not a textbook scholar: he was a scholar who practiced what he preached and
fought oppression at every level, just like the companions and the early
generations of Muslims… with books in his hands and military uniform on his
body. Not only did he teach but he fought as well.” In one audiotape, mujahideen
representatives attempt to unravel the mysterious life of Shaaban and note that
“in the footsteps of Sheik Abdullah Azzam, Sheik Anwar Shaaban carried the
responsibilities of the Mujahideen regiment in Bosnia… teaching, encouraging,
and inspiring the fighters, laying the same foundation in Bosnia that Shaykh
Abdullah Azzam laid in Afghanistan.”[28]
Shaaban shuttled back and forth to his headquarters in Milan, bringing with him
to Bosnia a host of veteran fighters and new recruits. In a September 1994 fax
sent to a wealthy jihad donor in Qatar, Shaaban explained that he required
additional funds “to finance the purchase of camp equipment for the Bosnian
mujaheddin in view of another winter spent in war in former Yugoslavia.” Shaaban
continued in his letter, “I’m convinced that based on today’s facts, the Islamic
projects in the European countries are a priority over all general Islamic
projects, especially when based on what we have seen with regard to the
possibility of establishing bases in these places in order to aid Muslims all
over the world.”[42] Undoubtedly, Shaaban hoped to use the Bosnian war to as a
means to create an unassailable garrison for North African militants in Europe.
One document later confiscated in Italy seemed to endorse this strategy,
explaining that “Hot Islamic questions such as Bosnia… raise the ardor of young
Muslims and their desire to face the inevitable.”[51] Not surprisingly, many of
those that Shaaban introduced to the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina became “the
commanders and trainers, the cream of the Mujahideen.”[28]
During their subsequent investigation of Shaaban and the ICI, Italian
counterterrorism police turned up numerous pieces of evidence showing how
involved Shaaban was in supporting jihad activity in nearby Bosnia. This
included documents indicating that “paramilitary training activities” were
“organised by the I.C.I. for those individuals who would fight on the Yugoslav
territory.”[42] A second undated letter from Anwar Shaaban recovered by Italian
investigators details a meeting the former had in Sarajevo “with an unidentified
Islamic individual who was willing to host trained Muslim guys capable of
training others to use Russian and eastern firearms in order to open the door of
the Jihad against Orthodox Serbs in Yugoslavia.”[42] The Italians also found
another handwritten sheet of paper in Arabic:
“I am sending you this film from the center of Bosnia-Herzegovina, from the land
of war and the Jihad. In it there is what I succeeded in sending you, and I am
very happy… In the little remembrance book there are a few pages glued together,
which you must open because there are inside sections of small films that you
will develop and watch… I placed the small films inside the remembrance book,
between the pages, but only between some pages, not all of them… so that the
Croatians may not find them and cause problems for us, because they can even
decapitate; when the letter arrives, develop and number them.”[42]
A subsequent fax received in April 1995 confirmed that the ICI in Milan had been
officially assigned the task of distributing news bulletins and conducting other
“propaganda activity” on behalf of the Bosnian El-Mudzahidin Unit.[42]
Yet, almost immediately, Shaaban’s mission in the Balkans strayed from its
purported goal of defending innocent Bosnian Muslims. In 1993, U.S. diplomats
and intelligence officials began to privately express concerns that Egyptian
Islamic extremists were targeting the U.S. embassy in Albania for a potential
terrorist attack. According to the CIA, “Al-Gama’at members, including… Anwar
Shaban… were involved in the 1993 surveillance of the U.S. embassy in
Tirana.”[73] The surveillance was confirmed when a suspected militant was
observed driving “repeatedly around the embassy.”[58] Separately, the CIA
gathered telephone intercepts that included an “apparent order from overseas
instructing a Muslim-charity worker to case the embassy.”[59] No successful
attack was ever carried out, likely as a result of close cooperation between the
CIA and Albanian security officials.
Shaaban’s influence also extended to a number of other Italian fundamentalist
clerics, such as Mohamed Ben Brahim Saidani, a volunteer fighter in Bosnia and
Imam of a mosque on Massarenti Street in Bologna, Italy. Saidani had been one of
a number of participants in a guerilla training course held in Afghanistan in
1993. Upon his return to Italy, he quickly convinced 30 of his local followers
to enlist in the foreign mujahideen brigade active in Bosnia. He founded a front
company in Italy known as Piccola Societa’ Cooperativa Eurocoop that provided
seemingly legitimate work authorisation permits to jihadi volunteers and
veterans, allowing them to travel without hindrance to different parts of the
world, including Bosnia.60 In witness testimony in the trial of conspirators
convicted of involvement in the 1998 East Africa embassy bombings, Al-Qaida
lieutenant Jamal al-Fadl discussed his trip to Zagreb in mid-1992, specifically
how he had been instructed to meet with Mohamed Saidani so he could get
“information about what’s going on in Bosnia” and bring this intelligence back
directly to Usama Bin Laden.[61]
Italian law enforcement and intelligence officials grew concerned after
intercepting a letter from a fundamentalist militant imprisoned in southern
Italy in July 1993 discussing potential terror attacks on U.S. and French
targets in the region. The seized letter appears to be one penned by Mondher Ben
Mohsen Baazaoui (a.k.a. “Hamza the Tunisian”), an activist in the An-Nahdah
movement and, according to an Italian police statement, “a fighter for a
mujahideen unit during the ethnic conflict in Bosnia… believed to be in the
front row of fundamentalist, Islamic terrorist networks.”[62] Baazaoui wrote to
Mohamed Saidani (the Imam in Bologna who was on close terms with both Anwar
Shaaban and Usama Bin Laden) to tell him that if his prison hunger strike did
not
secure his immediate release, Baazaoui would commit a “homicide operation… [to]
die gloriously.”[63] He then pleaded with Saidani to avenge his death with a
spectacular eulogy of terror: “All I can suggest to you is the French: leave not
a child nor an adult [alive]. Work for them, they are very numerous in Italy,
especially in the Tourist areas. Do what you will to them using armed robbery
and murder. The important thing is that you succeed at sparking the flames that
burn inside me against them, and this is to be a promise between you and
me.”[64]
In November 1994, Italian authorities were even more alarmed when they learned
of a new assassination plot organised by elements of the Egyptian terrorist
groups Al-Jihad and Al-Gama’at Al-Islamiyya targeting Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak during a three-day diplomatic trip to Rome.[65] As a result, the Italian
police stepped up their efforts—particularly, their focus on Shaaban’s Islamic
Cultural Institute. On June 26, 1995, in a mission codenamed “Operation Sphinx,”
Italian police arrested 11 suspected members of Al-Gama’at Al-Islamiyya
(including 10 Egyptians and 1 Palestinian) and carried out formal searches of 72
addresses across northern Italy, including Milan. The detained terrorists were
charged with criminal conspiracy, robbery, extortion, falsifying documents, and
illegal possession of firearms.[66]
One of those that Italian counterterrorism authorities were particularly seeking
to
arrest, Shaykh Anwar Shaaban himself, was nowhere to be found. Evidently, having
been tipped off to the intentions of the Italian government, Shaaban had escaped
and found asylum at his mujahideen military stronghold in central
Bosnia-Herzegovina.[66] Shaaban’s Bosnian exodus marked a critical period of
development for the Arab-Afghan mujahideen in southern Europe. Despite all the
Arab-Afghan propaganda decrying the suffering of the Bosnian Muslims—just as in
Afghanistan—their participation in the war was ultimately being channeled toward
an alternate purpose. By 1995, central Bosnia was more than a mere mujahideen
frontline. Instead, thanks to the work of Shaaban and others, it had become a
strategic foothold for Usama Bin Laden and his fanatical North African allies to
help infiltrate Western Europe.
With Bosnian war hostilities drawing to a close in September 1995, Anwar
Shaaban and his Italian-based Al-Gama’at al-Islamiyya cohorts were free to turn
their attention and resources to issues of “more critical” importance. In late
September, one of the most important Al-Gama’at al-Islamiyya leaders hiding in
Europe—Abu Talal al-Qasimy (a.k.a. Talaat Fouad Qassem)—was captured by Croat
HVO forces as he attempted to cross through Croatian territory into
Bosnia-Herzegovina. Within days, the Croats quietly rendered al-Qasimy through
U.S. custody into the hands of Egyptian authorities. At the time, a government
official in Cairo noted, “[Al-Qasimy’s] arrest proves what we have always said,
which is that these terror groups are operating on a worldwide scale, using
places like Afghanistan and Bosnia to form their fighters who come back to the
Middle East… European countries like Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, England and
others, which give sanctuary to these terrorists, should now understand it
will come back to haunt them where they live.”[68]
The first real Arab-Afghan response to Abu Talal al-Qasimy’s arrest came on
October 20, 1995, when a massive explosion shook the quiet Croatian port town of
Rijeka.[69] At 11:22am, a suicide bomber detonated 70 kilograms of TNT hidden in
a FIAT Mirafiori parked outside the Primorje-Gorani county police
headquarters.[70] The mysterious suicide-bomber was killed, two bystanders were
seriously wounded, and 27 other people received lighter injuries. The bomb was
powerful enough to destroy the police headquarters and damage several nearby
buildings, including a Zagreb Bank branch and a primary school.69 In the blast
debris, Croatian police found fragments a Canadian passport belonging to the
suicide bomber—who had previously been investigated by Italian counterterrorism
officials for his connections to the Islamic Cultural Institute in Milan
controlled by Anwar Shaaban.[70] The CIA later confirmed that the bomber was “a
member of Al-Gama’at [al-Islamiyya].”[73]
A day later, Western news agencies in Cairo received an anonymous faxed
communiqué allegedly from Al-Gama’at representatives, claiming responsibility
for the Rijeka bombing in order “to prove that the case of Sheik Talaat Fouad
Qassem… will not pass but will bring cascades of blood bleeding from Croatian
interests inside and outside… You Croats will be mistaken if you think that this
matter will go peacefully.”[74] In their statement, Al-Gama’at representatives
firmly demanded that the Croatian government “release Sheikh Qassimi and
apologise formally through the media… Close the gates of hell which you have
opened upon yourselves ... otherwise you will be starting a war the end of which
only Allah (God) knows.”[75] U.S. intelligence indicated that Anwaar Shaaban was
personally responsible for overseeing the suicide bombing operation in Rijeka.
The terror attack was meant to be a mere prelude to a new strategy employed by
the mujahideen. As the long Balkan war began winding down, Shaaban
“and other mujahedin leaders had begun planning to attack NATO forces which
would be sent to Bosnia.”[73] French investigators believed that the October
terror attack confirmed that the military leadership of the El-Mudzahedin Unit
in Bosnia-Herzegovina “was closely related to [Al-Gama’at al-Islamiyya], both
ideologically and in practice.”[77]
For several years afterwards, Croatian authorities sought other suspects
believed
responsible for arranging the Rijeka bombing. Witnesses, including a police
guard in the headquarters parking lot, described a suspicious Mercedes driven by
an Arab man that sped away from the scene just before the blast. After looking
at mugshots, those witnesses were able to positively identify a wanted 36-year
old Egyptian militant loyal to Al-Gama’at Al-Islamiyya named Hassan al-Sharif
Mahmud Saad. Saad, who had lived in Cologno Monzese (a surburb of Milan), was a
prominent figure at the Islamic Cultural Institute. He even sat on the board of
trustees of Anwar Shaaban’s own Italian charitable organisation “Il Paradiso.”
In Italy, Saad was known to own a FIAT 131 Mirafiori with Bergamo plates, the
very same vehicle later used in the Rijeka attack. As early as 1993,
he was traveling back and forth between Bosnia and Italy. But everyone at the
ICI mosque was aware that something was different in June 1995, when Hassan Saad
packed his family and belongings in the FIAT and left permanently for
Bosnia-Herzegovina. His friends at the ICI said he had gone away to join the
El-Mudzahedin Unit in Zenica led by Anwar Shaaban.[78]
Immediately following the premature truck bomb explosion outside foreign
mujahideen headquarters in Zenica in December 1995, Shaaban finally met his own
violent end in Bosnia-Herzegovina. During a suspicious clash with Croat HVO
forces, Shaaban and four of his closest mujahideen advisors were ritually gunned
down, seemingly harkening the end of a major era in for the Arab-Afghans in
Europe. But the influential network Shaaban was responsible for establishing in
Italy and Bosnia-Herzegovina continued to survive and prosper long after his
death. The credit for this unexpected resurgence largely goes to top Algerian
mujahideen commander Abu el-Ma’ali (a.k.a. Abdelkader Mokhtari) and his reputed
lieutenant Fateh Kamel (a.k.a. “Mustapha the Terrorist”). Kamel, who had lived
in Canada since 1988, was originally from Algeria and spent a good part of his
life in a quarter of the capital Algiers.[79] His slick, polished exterior
boasted a professionalism that was matched only by his pure ruthlessness. First
trained in Afghanistan in 1991, Kamel came to the attention of Italian
authorities while encouraging attendees at Anwar Shaaban’s Islamic Cultural
Institute in
Milan to join the mujahideen in Bosnia. By 1995, according to French
intelligence, the El-Mudzahedin Unit in Bosnia was headed politically by Anwar
Shaaban, seconded militarily by Abu el-Ma’ali, and in the third position was
Fateh Kamel, in charge of the brigade’s “logistical matters” (a role that
consisted mostly of coordinating the transfer of weapons, new recruits, and
false documents to and from the Arab headquarters in Zenica).[80] Investigators
reviewing the phone records of lines serving the ICI between 1994 and 1995 found
evidence of regular contacts between the triumvirate of Abu el-Ma’ali, Anwar
Shaaban, and Fateh Kamel.[81]
French intelligence determined that Kamel and his associates had “multiple
links”
with “diverse Islamic terrorist organisations around the world, and particularly
in Bosnia, in Pakistan, in Germany, and in London.”[82] Between 1994 and 1997,
Fateh Kamel moved constantly between (at least) Milan, Montreal, Paris, Hamburg,
Frankfurt, Zagreb, Bosnia, Copenhagen, Austria, Slovenia, Freibourg (Germany),
Morocco, Ancone (Italy), Istanbul, Belgium, and Amsterdam.[83] Kamel was
recorded on one occasion by Italian intelligence, discussing potential terror
attacks and bragging to his henchmen, “I do not fear death… because the jihad is
the jihad, and to kill is easy for me.”[84] He hated the very society he lived
in and cynically mocked Western attitudes towards Muslims: “And you know, the
people [here] imagine a Muslim on the back of a camel, four wives behind him and
the bombs that explode… terrorists, terrorists, terrorists.”[85] In another
communications intercept in 1996, just after the end of the Bosnian war, Kamel
confided in his terrorist partners, “I prefer to die than go to jail. I almost
lost my wife. I am 36 years old with a son four and a half months old. My wife
is playing with him and me, I am here. I am almost a soldier.”[86]
The evidence in Kamel’s addressbook alone seems to confirm his role as a key
liaison and coordinator between assorted European sleeper cell terrorist
networks and senior Al-Qaida commanders based in Bosnia and Afghanistan. Among
other numbers, Fateh Kamel had several contacts for Akacha Laidi (a.k.a.
Abderrahmane Laidi, Abou Amina), a senior GIA member in the UK. One of the
numbers with Akacha’s name actually reached Djamal Guesmia, a terrorist widely
known to be working with both the GIA and its successor group, the Algerian
Salafist Group for Prayer and Combat (GSPC).[87] Fateh Kamel drew particularly
close to loose network of units of North African immigrants and European
converts to Islam who had come to aid the mujahideen during the early stages of
the Bosnian war. For all intensive purposes, he became their
handler, giving assistance and issuing orders on behalf of Anwar Shaaban and Abu
el-Ma’ali.
In 1996, following the sudden death of Shaaban in central Bosnia, Kamel
suddenly began activating “Bosniak” terror units implanted in Europe,
instructing them to prepare for new jihad operations to take place inside France
and Italy. Between August 6-10, 1996, Kamel stayed at the Milan apartment of two
GIA supporters, including Rachid Fettar, who had close ties to the masterminds
of the 1995 Paris metro bombing spree. Fettar was well-placed in the GIA
leadership hierarchy, considered the “heir” to the European extremist network
established by Safé Bourada, the deputy-in-command of the Algerian terror cell
deemed responsible for the metro bombings.[88] Thus, Kamel’s visit to Fettar and
his companion Youcef Tanout came with a definite purpose: to direct a terror
cell in the construction and deployment of more crude gas-canister bombs like
those used during the Paris metro campaign.
Kamel respected Rachid Fettar as an equal and complained to him that Tanout
and the others were too reluctant to produce the explosives without elaborate
and timeconsuming covert procedures. “I insisted as much as I could, but there
was nothing I could do. In France, we can make [the bombs], even if their
destination is France. You know very well that in France, I have no problems; I
return and I leave when I want, clandestinely.”[89] In a discussion with the
more amateurish Youcef Tanout, Kamel coldly asked, “What are you afraid of? That
everything will explode in your house? Tell me at least if Mahmoud has gotten
the gas canister.” Tanout meekly related to Kamel how one of his fellow cell
members had sought the shelter and anonymity of a nearby deep forest in order to
fabricate the required bombs. He admitted to Kamel, “I feel no shame in
telling you that I am extremely afraid.”[90] Evidently, Tanout’s hesitant
concerns were well founded; on November 7, 1996, both himself and Fettar were
arrested and their Milan apartment was searched by experienced Italian
counterterrorism investigators. They discovered two 400-gram gas canisters, five
remote-control transmitters, 38 metallic cylinders, and other bomb-making
materials.[91]
Though Fateh Kamel’s gas canister terror plot in Milan never reached fruition,
it
provided ominous clues as to what was to develop across Western Europe in the
following decade. In many ways, the early Italian-based mujahideen sleeper cells
under the lead of Kamel, Anwar Shaaban, and Abu el-Ma’ali were the direct
prototype for contemporary European-based North African militant networks
responsible for carrying out such operations as the March 2004 commuter train
bombings in Madrid, Spain. Members of Fateh Kamel’s brotherhood of fighters
continue to enter and leave the Balkans even today. When Kamel’s
“right-hand-man” in Bosnia—Moroccan Karim Said Atmani—was released from a French
prison cell in the spring of 2005, he immediately left on a flight to Sarajevo
where he was greeted at the airport by a “known commander of the Bosnian
mujahideen… tied to the international Islamic terrorist movement.”[92] After
substantial pressure was brought to bear on local law enforcement authorities in
BiH, Atmani was finally deported from the region in early 2006 and sent back
home to North Africa.
Scandinavia and Northern Europe
Even as early as the Bosnian war, the unlikely region of Scandinavia had become
an important tactical base for Islamic militant groups from the Middle East.
Countries like Norway, Sweden, and Denmark were perceived as tolerant and
willing to grant political asylum even to militant leaders on the run from law
enforcement and intelligence agencies. In Scandinavia, these wanted men knew
they could expect “the same freedom as [in] the US.”[93] A March 1995 magazine
printed by supporters of Al-Gama’at al-Islamiyya noted that “influential guides”
within the Egyptian jihadi movement had nonetheless been able to secure
“political asylum in Norway” despite the reluctance of the Norwegian Embassy in
Cairo to become involved in such proceedings.[42] Even the undisputed top leader
of Al-Gama’at al-Islamiyya—Shaykh Omar Abdel Rahman (currently serving a life
sentence in a maximum security U.S. prison)—boasted
in interviews with mujahideen newsletters of his numerous trips to
Europe, “passing through Britain, Denmark, Sweden, and many other
countries.”[95]
Unbeknownst to most Danes, by 1993, the city of Copenhagen was perhaps the
most important safe haven for Al-Gama’at al-Islamiyya in all of Europe. At the
head of Al-Gama’at’s weighty delegation in Copenhagen was the legendary Shaykh
Abu Talal al-Qasimy, among the first Muslim clerics involved in supporting the
Bosnian jihad. Al-Qasimy was imprisoned several times by the Egyptian government
both previous to and following the assassination of the late President Anwar
Sadat. Shortly thereafter, he was able to use fake travel documents to escape
Egypt and join the growing number of militant Muslim exiles fighting Soviet
forces in Afghanistan. While there, al-Qasimy “made an appointment with Jihad in
the path of Allah, and… embraced the rifle.”[96]
During time spent in nearby Pakistan, Abu Talal al-Qasimy established
Al-Gama’at’s official magazine, Al-Murabeton, and wrote most of the early
issues.
In January 1993, under pressure from the U.S., the Pakistani government
suddenly reversed its position on supporting the jihad in Afghanistan and
ordered the closure of remaining Arab mujahideen offices in Pakistan—threatening
official
deportation to any illegal foreign fighters who attempted to remain in Pakistan.
These displaced men faced a serious problem, because return to their countries
of origin meant certain arrest, torture, and likely death. At the time, a Saudi
spokesman for the Arab-Afghans in Jeddah explained in the media, “the Algerians
cannot go to Algeria, the Syrians cannot go to Syria or the Iraqis to Iraq. Some
will opt to go to Bosnia, the others will have to go into Afghanistan
permanently.”[97]
According to Dr. Abdullah Azzam’s son Hudhaifa, Abu Talal al-Qasimy was
forced to flee across the border into Afghanistan because he was “ordered by
name to be captured and sent to Egypt by the Pakistani government.” But, “before
they caught [him], [he]… got a visa to foreign countries.”[98] In fact,
Al-Qasimy had found political asylum in Denmark, where he continued to spread
his radical message at the foreign office of Al-Murabeton in Copenhagen.[99] One
of the other four editors working in Copenhagen was reportedly Dr. Ayman
al-Zawahiri, the leader of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad movement and
second-in-command of Usama Bin Laden’s Al-Qaida.[100] Al-Qasimy was also a close
friend of the Amir of the Bosnian mujahideen, Anwar Shaaban, and took an
aggressive, committed, and hands-on role in the Bosnian jihad.
On April 24, 1993, Abu Talal al-Qasimy convened in Copenhagen arguably one
of the most important meetings of pan-Islamic militant leaders ever to take
place inside of Europe. The other participants included Shaykh Anwar Shaaban
from Milan and Imam Shawki Mohammed (a.k.a. Mahmoud Abdel al-Mohamed), the
firebrand cleric at the Al-Sahaba mosque in Vienna—considered by Italian
intelligence at the time to be “a most important representative of Sunni
radicalism in Europe” who was fixated on “the situation of the mujahiddin in the
former Yugoslavia.”[42] Abu Talal hoped that this “meeting of minds” would serve
as the impetus for the creation of a “Shura Council of the European Union”—a
coalition of like-minded Middle Eastern extremist groups with a common presence
and interest in Western Europe. The “Shura Council” was to be developed as an
autonomous command organism capable of “coordinating and making decisions”
without consulting Al-Gama’at al-Islamiyya or Al-Jihad leaders located far off
in Egypt or Afghanistan. One of the main reasons for establishing a unified
leadership nucleus was to fully mobilise shared resources in Europe to support
nearby ongoing jihad operations in North Africa and Bosnia-Herzegovina.[42] A
note from the diary of Anwar Shaaban written just days before meeting Abu Talal
in Copenhagen cites the collective importance of providing assistance “to the
Algerian, Tunisian, Senegalese, and Bosnian
brothers.”[42]
Like Shaaban in Milan, Abu Talal al-Qasimy used his position of prominence
while in Copenhagen to establish a circle of like-minded disciples, such as
Palestinian Muslim cleric Ahmed Abu Laban (a.k.a. Abu Abdullah al-Lubnani) who
arrived in Denmark in 1993. Though he speaks little Danish, Abu Laban has
gradually established a persona for himself as the de-facto representative of
the minority Muslim community in Denmark, appearing in local media reports and
in meetings with government officials. An August 2005 article in the respected
Washington Post even referred to Abu Laban as “one of Denmark’s most prominent
imams.”[104]
Yet, despite his disarming exterior, Italian intelligence recorded visits by Abu
Laban to Anwar Shaaban’s ICI in Milan “many times” for “conferences” and
“community prayers.”[42] When news of the capture of Abu Talal al-Qasimy in
Croatia filtered back to Denmark, Ahmed Abu Laban led an angry protest of 500
local Muslims in downtown Copenhagen outside the Croatian embassy. During the
October 1995 protest (which included an appearance by al-Qasimy’s wife),
demonstrators “raised their fists and shouted ‘Allahu Akhbar!’” In interviews
with journalists, Abu Laban condemned Egypt, the United States, and Croatia as
“the beneficiaries” of Abu Talal’s capture en route to Muslim forces in central
Bosnia-Herzegovina.[106]
In early 2006, Ahmed Abu Laban re-appeared in international media after he
helped provoke a new series of violent protests across the Muslim world in
reaction to cartoons published in Scandinavian magazines that lampooned the
Prophet Mohammed. The controversial cartoons failed to attract widespread
interest among Muslims outside of Europe when they first printed in the Danish
publication Jyllands-Posten during the fall of 2005. On November 18—in an
interview with an Islamic press agency—Abu Laban announced that he would lead a
delegation of Danish Muslims touring across the Middle East in a bid to draw
pan-Islamic attention to the cartoons issue:
“A delegation will visit Cairo to meet with Arab League Secretary Amr Moussa and
Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Sheikh Mohammad Sayyed Tantawi… The delegation will also
visit Saudi Arabia and Qatar to meet with renowned Muslim scholar Sheikh Yussef
Al-Qaradawi… We want to internationalise this issue so that the Danish
government would realise that the cartoons were not only insulting to Muslims in
Denmark but also to Muslims worldwide… It was decided to take such a step
because it is wrong to turn a blind eye to the fact that some European countries
discriminate against their Muslims on the grounds that they are not democratic
and that they can not understand western culture.”[107]
During meetings with Muslim leaders, the delegation led by Abu Laban displayed
the cartoons published by Jyllands-Posten—along with several other much more
offensive items that had never actually been published in Scandinavia, including
a cartoon depicting the Prophet having sexual intercourse with a dog. Other
printed materials distributed in conjunction with Abu Laban’s campaign contained
several other inflammatory and misleading rumours about the would-be
“oppression” of Danish Muslims.[108] Within weeks, as a result of Abu Laban’s
relentless incitement, the cartoon controversy spun out of control, resulting in
angry mobs attacking Scandinavian diplomatic facilities in Syria, Lebanon, Iran,
Pakistan, and the Palestinian territories.
Likewise, in neighbouring Sweden, local cells of North African extremists who
had
initially organised themselves around the need to support to fellow jihadists in
Afghanistan, North Africa, and the Balkans eventually developed into an
elaborate regional network for terrorist recruitment, financing, and other
illicit activities. According to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, the
Stockholm office of a fraudulent Arab-Afghan charitable group known as “Human
Concern International” (HCI) served as cover during the mid-1990s for a major
covert Bosnian arms smuggling operation.[73] European Muslim newsletters
advertised that due to a wealth of contributions from “the increasing Muslim
population in Sweden,” the HCI branch in Stockholm had already successfully
“equipped the Mujahideen in Afghanistan… The organisation has succeeded in
gathering more than half million Kroner last year, and it has been sent to the
Mujahideen in Afghanistan. We are still helping the Arab youths to go to
Afghanistan thus to contribute in the Jihad.”[110] The newspaper Le Monde
confirmed that French national police suspected that HCI’s offices in Croatia
and Sweden had acted as possible “staging points” for the GIA terrorist cell
responsible for a July 25, 1995 bomb attack on the Paris metro system.[111] In
the wake of the Paris bombing, Swedish authorities arrested and held a suspected
GIA member Abdelkerim Deneche who was living in Stockholm at the time. Deneche
had previously been fingered in French news media as a former employee of the
HCI office in Zagreb.
Not to be outdone by their British colleagues, groups of young Algerian radicals
from Sweden were also traveling directly to Bosnia seeking to physically join in
the jihad against the “Christian Crusaders.” On September 19, 1993, one of these
Swedish mujahideen recruits—“Abu Musab al-Swedani”—was killed in a battle with
Croatian HVO forces near the central Bosnian town of Kruscica (near Vitez).
According to friends, Abu Musab was born in Sweden to a Swedish mother and an
Algerian father. He grew up in Scandinavia, but at age 20, suddenly developed an
intense interest in studying Islam. He travelled to Saudi Arabia on a personal
pilgrimage to learn Arabic and study the Islamic Shariah (religious law). During
the nearly two years he spent in the Arabian Peninsula, he became a devout,
fundamentalist who, upon his return to Sweden, began actively prosthelytising
his religion to others around him, including his family and
relatives.[112]
The jihad in Afghanistan was making major international headlines during this
period of the late 1980s, catching the avid attention of the pro-Islamist
community in the West. Abu Musab “began to follow the news of the Muslims around
the world and in particular the killing of the Muslims and their expulsion from
their homes. He then understood that there is no dignity for the Muslims except
through Jihad.” Abu Musab travelled to Peshawar, the “gateway to jihad,” with
another young, radical Muslim who was already a member of the mujahideen. After
some hesitation, he soon ventured forth into Afghanistan to seek combat training
and to fight on behalf of the Islamic revolution. When the Afghan jihad ended,
Abu Musab returned home to Sweden and married a Muslim woman. But, in 1992, he
once again decided to make a jihadi pilgrimage—this
time in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Abu Musab al-Swedani arrived in the region and
joined up with the extremists based in the camp on Mt. Igman, under the lead of
“General” Abu Ayman al-Masri.[112] After surviving several months of combat, Abu
Musab was finally killed by a sniper’s bullet while in the midst of a chaotic
mujahideen military offensive aimed at driving Croatian forces out of Muslim
central Bosnia.[112] Al-Swedani’s biography and photo were later publicised in
the pioneering English-language jihad propaganda film “The Martyrs of Bosnia,”
produced by accused London-based Al-Qaida operative Babar Ahmad.[112]
As a testament to what had been achieved, when the mujahideen military
campaign in Bosnia-Herzegovina came to a sudden halt in September 1995, the
predominantly Algerian arms smuggling and recruitment network based in Stockholm
continued their ongoing activities virtually unabated. Jihad became a hot topic
of discussion and a host of individuals surfaced in Scandinavia claiming to
represent various Islamic extremist movements—including “Abu Fatima al-Tunisi”
(a spokesman for a Stockholm-based Islamic group), and “Abu Daoud al-Maghrebi”
(a Swedish-based activist working on behalf of the GIA in Northern Europe).[116]
Even the Nusraat al-Ansaar newsletter—the semi-official publication of the GIA’s
foreign delegation in Europe—offered a correspondence address at Box 3027 in
Haninge, Sweden.[117]
Indeed, Swedish-based militants who were initially mobilised by ongoing jihadi
conflicts in Bosnia and Afghanistan were also the first to establish an official
Arablanguage Internet homepage for the notorious Algerian GIA, with an entire
sub-section dedicated just to “terrorism.”[118] These same individuals began to
distribute Arabiclanguage jihad training manuals on the Internet, many of which
have become classic documents in the online world of the mujahideen—including a
lengthy book titled “The Restoration of the Publication of the Believers,”
written by Egyptian Islamic Jihad leader Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri. When it was
published on the Internet from Sweden, Zawahiri’s book still carried a watermark
on the cover from 1996 identifying it as the property of “Muslimska
Forsamilingen i Brandbergen, Jungfrugaten 413 N.B.” in the town of Haninge.[119]
Conclusions
To some degree, all major conflicts in the Islamic world have a bearing on
Muslim social and political attitudes in Europe. Yet, the proximity of Bosnia-
Herzegovina to Europe and the underlying nature of the conflict in the Balkans
(pitting an embattled and forgotten Muslim minority against two larger Christian
“crusader” forces) caused an infusion of European youth that no such conflict
had previously seen. Bosnia became a rallying cry and the impetus for disparate
groups of Islamic extremists spread across Western Europe to come together in
common cause. It was a mobilisation drive that simply never stopped when the
Dayton Accords were signed and the Bosnian war ended.
The recent discovery of a transnational terrorist network anchored in Sarajevo—
and with branches in Sweden, Denmark, and the United Kingdom—is further evidence
of the extent to which the jihad in Bosnia still influences Western European
mujahideen networks. Last fall, Bosnian authorities announced a series of
arrests in connection with a security sweep known as Operation Mazhar. The men
taken into custody had purchased explosives and allegedly planned to carry out
suicide attacks against Western targets across Europe. The leader of the cell,
Swedish national Mirsad Bektasevic (a.k.a. “Maximus”) was initially based in
Sweden and then travelled on to Bosnia “to plan an attack aimed at forcing
Bosnia or another government to withdraw forces from Iraq and Afghanistan.”[120]
In a videotape recovered by Bosnian police, masked militants were shown
building explosives while another individual—allegedly Bektasevic
himself—explained to the camera, “This weapon will be used against Europe,
against those whose forces are in Iraq and Afghanistan… These two brothers ...
have given their lives to God to help their brothers and sisters. We are here
and we are planning and we have got everything ready.” Mobile phone records also
showed that Bektasevic was communicating with other known extremists based in
Denmark and the United Kingdom.[120] He was also believed to be running a
recruitment operation sending young European jihadi recruits on to Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi in Iraq.[122] Moreover, at least one of the suspects arrested in
Bosnia-Herzegovina in connection with the Bektasevic network was the former
accountant of a financial front company run by veterans of the El-Mudzahedin
Unit in Sarajevo and Zenica.
Thus, the brotherhood of radical Muslims forged as a result of the conflict in
Bosnia-Herzegovina continues to present a formidable challenge for European
intelligence and law enforcement. In the future, it is crucial for Western
security
agencies to pool information on the identities of any foreign nationals known to
have joined mujahideen forces in the Balkans—just as they have done for
Afghanistan and Iraq. Moreover, European nations must provide further resources
and investigative support to Bosnian Muslim authorities in their drive to uproot
remaining pockets of foreign extremists. Without substantial international
assistance, it is doubtful that the Bosnians can alone shoulder this weighty and
complex security responsibility.

According to the Salafists, non-Muslims are lesser people. By saying this they
justify the behaviour of young Muslim criminals who target the non-Muslims
whilst they never touch fellow Muslims. They told me that drug trafficking is
perfectly acceptable as long as one only sells to non-Muslims. They told me that
stealing from non-Muslims is allowed as long as one does not harm fellow
Muslims. One day our office was burgled and our computers were stolen. All
except the two computers belonging to our two Muslim colleagues. You don’t steal
from brothers or sisters! The culprits were YfI-members.
Many victims of burglaries in houses and cars, of steaming and other forms of
violence, can testify that aggression by Muslims is not directed against
brothers and sisters, but against whoever is a kafir, a non-believer. Young
Muslims justify their behaviour towards women who do not wear the headscarf,
whether Muslim or non-Muslim, by referring to the Salafist teaching which says
that these women are whores and should be treated as such. They told me this. I
wrote it down in my reports, but the authorities refuse to hear it.
Of course Mr Ramadan disapproves of the young criminals’ behaviour. Of course
the YfI leadership disapproves too. But I am convinced they are double-faced. In
public, when talking to Westerners, such as the media and the authorities, they
condemn the criminals, but they continue to spread the ideas which the criminals
use to justify their acts.

By Andrew G. Bostom
“Are you Muslim or Christian? We don't want to kill Muslims.” That’s what the
Islamic terrorists reportedly told their innocent prey during a murderous
shooting spree last Saturday in Khobar, Saudi Arabia, that left at least 17
civilians dead in the initial assault.[1]
How are we to interpret such repeated acts of terrorism, targeting
non-Muslims? Perhaps the most influential contemporary doyen lecturing to us
about "Islamic fundamentalism" has asserted, in multiple writings since 1990[2],
the following: fundamentalism and its accompanying “Muslim rage” derive
exclusively from a steady decline in the geopolitical power of Muslim states,
evidenced, most dramatically, by the official dissolution of the Ottoman
Caliphate after World War I, and the creation of the State of Israel after World
War II. Despite his erudition, this doyen appears unwilling to examine an
obvious alternative explanation for the etiology and persistence of Muslim
animus toward non-Muslims- what Muslim children, for generations, have been
taught to think about the infidel "other,"
regardless of the
geopolitical circumstances.
E.W. Lane wrote an informative firsthand account of life in Egypt, particularly
Cairo and Luxor, composed after several years of residence there (first in
1825-1828, then in 1833-1835). James Aldridge in his study Cairo (1969)
called Lane’s account “the most truthful and detailed account in English of how
Egyptians lived and behaved.”[3]
Egyptian
Muslims, Lane explains, regarded "persons of every other faith as the
children of perdition; and such, the Muslim is early taught to despise…I am
credibly informed that children in Egypt are often taught at school, a regular
set of curses to denounce upon the persons and property of Christians, Jews, and
all other unbelievers in the religion of Mohammad.”[4]
Lane,
who had perfect command of Arabic and went on to write a colossal Arabic-English
lexicon, translated the prayer below from a contemporary 19th century
text Arabic text. It contains curses on non-Muslims, “which the Muslim
youths in many of the schools in Cairo recite, before they return to their
homes, every day of their attendance.”[5]
One typical curse is:
“I seek refuge with God from Satan the accursed. In the name of God, the
Compassionate, the Merciful. O God, aid El-Islam, and exalt the word of truth,
and the faith, by the preservation of thy servant and the son of thy servant,
the Sultan of the two continents (Europe and Asia), and the Khakan (Emperor or
monarch) of the two seas [the Mediterranean and Black Seas], the Sultan, son of
the Sultan (Mahmood) Khan (the reigning Sultan when this prayer was composed). O
God, assist him, and assist his armies, and all the forces of the Muslims: O
Lord of the beings of the whole world.
O God, destroy the infidels and
polytheists, thine enemies, the enemies of the religion. O God, make their
children orphans, and defile their abodes, and cause their feet to slip, and
give them and their families, and their households and their women and their
children and their relations by marriage and their brothers and their friends
and their possessions and their race and their wealth and their lands as booty
to the Muslims: O Lord of the beings of the whole world.”[6]
(Emphasis added.)
Not surprisingly then, Lane describes how the Jews, for example, were
“often…jostled in the streets of Cairo, and sometimes beaten merely for passing
on the right hand of a Muslim…(The Jews) scarcely dare ever to utter a word of
abuse when reviled or beaten unjustly by the meanest Arab or Turk; for many a
Jew has been put to death upon a false and malicious accusation of uttering
disrespectful words against the Qur’an or the Prophet. It is common to
hear an Arab abuse his jaded ass, and, after applying to him various opprobrious
epithets, end by calling the beast a Jew.”[7]
Over five decades later, in Tunis, 1888, the following personal account reveals
further evidence of the visceral abhorrence and hostility inculcated in Muslim
children, specifically, toward non-Muslims: “(The Jew) can be seen to bow down
with his whole body to a Muslim child and permit him the traditional privilege
of striking him in the face, a gesture that can prove of the gravest
consequence. Indeed, the present writer has received such blows. In such
matters the offenders act with complete impunity, for this has been the custom
from time immemorial.”[8]
(Emphasis added.)
Mary Boyce, Professor Emeritus of Iranian Studies and a pre-eminent scholar of
Zoroastrianism, spent a 12-month sabbatical in 1963-64 living in the Zoroastrian
community of Iran (mostly in Sharifabad, on the northern Yazdi plain). During a
lecture series given at Oxford in 1975,[9]
she noted how the Iranian ancestors of the Zoroastrians had a devoted
working relationship (i.e., herding livestock) with dogs when they lived a
nomadic existence on the Asian steppes. This sustained contact evolved over
generations such that dogs became “a part in (Zoroastrian) religious beliefs and
practices…which in due course became a part of the heritage of Zoroastrianism.”[10]
Boyce then provided an historical
overview of the deliberate, wanton cruelty of Muslims and their children towards
dogs in Iran, including a personal eyewitness account:
In Sharifabad the dogs distinguished clearly between Moslem and Zoroastrian, and
were prepared to go…full of hope, into a crowded Zoroastrian assembly, or to
fall asleep trustfully in a Zoroastrian lane, but would flee as before Satan
from a group of Moslem boys…The evidence points…to Moslem hostility to these
animals having been deliberately fostered in the first place in Iran, as a point
of opposition to the old (pre-Islamic jihad conquest) faith (i.e.,
Zoroastrianism) there. Certainly in the Yazdi area…Moslems found a double
satisfaction in tormenting dogs, since they were thereby both afflicting an
unclean creature and causing distress to the infidel who cherished him. There
are grim…stories from the time (i.e., into the latter half of the 19th
century) when the annual poll-tax (jizya) was exacted, of the tax
gatherer tying a Zoroastrian and a dog together, and flogging both alternately
until the money was somehow forthcoming, or death released them. I myself was
spared any worse sight than that of a young Moslem girl…standing over a litter
of two-week old puppies, and suddenly kicking one as hard as she could with her
shod foot. The puppy screamed with pain, but at my angry intervention she merely
said blankly, ‘But it’s unclean.’ In Sharifabad I was told by distressed
Zoroastrian children of worse things: a litter of puppies cut to pieces with a
spade-edge, and a dog’s head laid open with the same implement; and occasionally
the air was made hideous with the cries of some tormented animal. Such wanton
cruelties on the Moslems’ part added not a little to the tension between the
communities.[11]
Sorour Soroudi, an Iranian Jewish woman and academic, whose family left Iran in
1970, published this recollection:
"I still remember the rhyme Muslim children used to chant when they saw an
Armenian in the streets, 'Armeni, Armeni-dog, sweeper of hell are you!' ”[12].
A decade later, anti-infidel discrimination intensified and became state
sanctioned policy with the ascent of the Khomeini-lead Shi’ite theocracy in
Iran.[13]
Professor Eliz Sanasarian provides one particularly disturbing example of these
policies, reflecting the hateful indoctrination of young adult candidates for
national teacher training programs. Affirming as objective, factual history the
hadith[14] account of Muhammad’s
supposed poisoning by a Jewish woman from ancient Khaibar, Sanasarian notes,
“Even worse, the subject became one of the questions in the ideological test for
the Teachers’ Training College where students were given a multiple-choice
question in order to identify the instigator of the martyrdom of the Prophet
Muhammad, the ‘correct’ answer being ‘a Jewess.’”[15]
The ongoing proliferation of Saudi Arabian-sponsored educational programs rife
with bigotry against non-Muslims has been well documented. A recent
comprehensive report provided unambiguous examples of these hatemongering
teaching materials, accompanied by this triumphal pronouncement from a Saudi
royal family publication: “The cost of King Fahd’s efforts in this field has
been astronomical, amounting to many billions of Saudi riyals. In terms of
Islamic institutions, the result is some 210 Islamic centers wholly or partly
financed by Saudi Arabia, more than 1,500 mosques and 2,002 colleges and almost
2,000 schools for educating Muslim children in non-Islamic countries in Europe,
North and South America, Australia, and Asia.”[16]
Vilification of non-Muslims has been intrinsic to the religious education of
Muslim children and young adults for centuries, an ignoble (and continuing)
tradition that long antedates the modern or even pre-modern Muslim
“fundamentalist” revival movements. We must acknowledge this reality and begin
to think and act beyond the well-intentioned but limited constructs of even our
most respected doyens. Perhaps it would be wise to heed the sober advice of this
courageous madrassa dropout and secular Muslim “apostate” Ibn Warraq:
First, we who live in the free West and enjoy freedom of expression and
scientific inquiry should encourage a rational look at Islam, should encourage
Koranic criticism. Only Koranic criticism can help Muslims to look at their Holy
Scripture in a more rational and objective way, and prevent young Muslims from
being fanaticised by the Koran’s less tolerant verses…We can encourage
rationality by secular education. This will mean the closing of religious
madrassas where young children from poor families learn only the Koran by heart,
learn the doctrine of Jihad - learn , in short, to be fanatics…My
priority would be the wholesale rewriting of school texts, which at present
preach intolerance of non-Muslims, particularly Jews. One hopes that education
will encourage critical thinking and rationality. Again to encourage pluralism,
I should like to see the glories of pre-Islamic history taught to all children.
The banning of all religious education in state schools as is the case in France
where there is a clear constitutional separation of state and religion is not
realistic for the moment in Islamic countries. The best we can hope for is the
teaching of Comparative Religion, which we hope will eventually lead to a
lessening of fanatical fevers, as Islam is seen as but another set of beliefs
amongst a host of faiths.[17]
Until Warraq’s recommendations are heeded, we can look forward to an endless
jihad.

Warraq, Ibn. “A True Islamic Reformation,” FrontPageMagazine.com, May 19, 2003
From the desk of The Brussels Journal, 10.2006
Radical Muslims in several of France’s local communities are waging an
undeclared “intifada” against the police, with violent clashes injuring an
average of 14 officers each day. As the interior ministry said that nearly 2,500
officers had been wounded this year, a police union declared that its members
were “in a state of civil war” with Muslims in the most depressed “banlieue”
estates which are heavily populated by unemployed youths of north African
origin.
It said the situation was so grave that it had asked the government to provide
police with armoured cars to protect officers in the estates, which are becoming
no-go zones. The number of attacks has risen by a third in two years. Police
representatives told the newspaper Le
Figaro that the “taboo” of attacking officers on patrol has been broken
[also in the Netherlands].
[...] [Michel Thoomis, the secretary general of the
Action Police trade union,] said
yesterday: “We are in a state of civil war, orchestrated by radical Islamists.
This is not a question of urban violence any more, it is an intifada, with
stones and Molotov cocktails. You no longer see two or three youths confronting
police, you see whole tower blocks emptying into the streets to set their
‘comrades’ free when they are arrested.”
[...] However, Gerard Demarcq, of the
largest police unions, Alliance,
dismissed talk of an “intifada” as representing the views of only a minority. Mr
Demarcq said that the increased attacks on officers were proof that the policy
of “retaking territory” from criminal gangs was working.
A quote from Paul Belien at The Brussels
Journal, 6 November 2005:
To understand what is going on one cannot look at today’s events from a Western
perspective. One has to think like the “youths” in order to understand them. Not
imagine oneself in their shoes, but imagine their minds in one’s own head. The
important question is: how do these insurgents perceive their relationship with
society in France?
Unlike
their fathers, who came to France from Muslim countries, accepting that, whilst
remaining Muslims themselves, they had come to live in a non-Muslim country, the
rioters see France as their country. They were born here. This land is their
land. And since they are Muslims, this land, or at least a part of it, is Muslim
as well. [...] West Europeans cannot blame the Muslim “youths” for looking at
the world the way they do. Europe willingly opened the door to the Muslims, not
just by allowing large-scale immigration on an unprecedented level, but also by
encouraging the newcomers to retain their culture.
[...] Those media that tell us that the rioting “youths” want to be a part of
our society and feel left out of it, are misrepresenting the facts. As the
insurgents see it, they are not a part of our society and they want us to keep
out of theirs. The violence in France is in no way comparable with that of the
blacks in the U.S. in the 1960s. The Paris correspondent of
The New York Times who writes that
this a “variant of the same problem” is either lying or does not know what he is
talking about. The violence in France is of the type one finds when one group
wants to assert its authority and drive the others out of its territory. [...]
The Muslims resent the outsiders paternalising them and interfering with their
way of life in the suburbs of all Western Europe’s major cities. Their message
is: get out of our way, get out of our territory, and: you act like you think
you’re the boss but we’ll show you who really is.
A quote from Paul Belien in The American
Conservative, 5 December 2005:
It is easy to understand why the “youths” in the suburbs turned so violent when
[French Interior Minister] Sarkozy tried to establish law and order there. The
“youths” have held sway there, unchallenged, for decades. If they allow the
French authorities to reassert their authority, they lose their own power base.
Unlike the Western intellectuals, they realise that everything boils down to the
question of who wields power over a specific territory. The police and the gangs
fight over whose laws will apply in the neighbourhood: the laws of the French
Republic or the laws of Eurabia.
[...] Sarkozy, who deployed only policemen in his war, was unable to prevail
because he did not have the weapons to win a territorial conflict. After two
days of rioting, police officers warned that they did not have the means to win
what they (correctly) described as a “civil war.” [...] The poor natives who
live in the immigrants’ neighbourhoods know better, however. They know that the
generals of Eurabia, the leaders of the “youths,” drive BMWs and Mercedes (which
no-one dares to set alight), and that they use mobile phones and PCs to instruct
their highly mobile troops. The war in France is not about social injustice, but
about territory.

The numbers provided have been calculated based on Norwegian, Swedish, British
and French statistics (many of these reports are included in this compendium).
There may be certain errors for certain years. However, the total numbers should
be representative for Western European countries seen as a whole. The numbers
may appear astronomical and it might be hard to believe at first glance.
Nevertheless, the numbers are in fact conservative estimates and the real
numbers may be a lot higher.
1.
(Be/Ro) Includes
Muslim physical and psychological abuse (beatings threats, harassment, all forms
of violence), torture, slavery or financial and/or sexual exploitation (rape
excluded).
Estimates are calculated based on number of atrocities committed.
Many Europeans have been abused or exploited several times. Ratio is an average
1000 atrocities per 100 000 Muslims annually.
2.
Estimates are calculated based on number of rapes. A gang rape will count number
of rapists in relation to number of rapes. Many European girls/women have been
raped multiple times.
Ratio is an average 200 rapes per 100 000 Muslims annually.
3.
Estimates include car burnings which is a significant problem in many European
major cities. Arson is often the preferred method the Muslims will use to weaken
the society.
Ratio is an average 100 arson attacks per 100 000 Muslims annually.
4.
This includes the direct and indirect murder of Europeans committed by Muslims
living in Europe. There us an average of 10 murders per year, per 100 000
Muslims. Ratio is an average 10 murders per 100 000 Muslims annually.
Wherever there is a presence of Muslims, Islamisation occurs
The ubiquity of the intrusive security measures in our society, security
measures necessary for one reason and one reason only; to defend us from Islamic
criminals and terrorists who are here only because Muslims are here. This is the
proof that by the very fact of admitting large numbers of Muslims into our
society, we have already lost our freedom to the power and the threat of Islam.
And, again, no one ever points out this screamingly obvious fact. No one ever
says: the reason we now live in a bunkered society is that Muslims are among us.
If the Muslims hadn't been allowed to come here, these suffocating security
measures would never have been necessary; if the Muslims weren't here, the
security measures would instantly become unnecessary.
These Muslim perpetrators view Europe as “dar-al-Harb” (house of war), as taught
in the Quran. As such, the exploitation and pillaging of European resources and
people is the divine right of all Muslims. A kafr/infidel is an individual
regarded as human garbage to a devout Muslim, a second class citizen. The
Muslims therefore takes advantage of their Allah-given prerogative to rape, kill
and steal from Europeans as they view this as the spoils of war.
Make no mistake. These Muslims must be considered as wild animals. Do not blame
the wild animals but rather the multiculturalist category A and B traitors who
allowed these animals to enter our lands, and continue to facilitate them. This
is nothing less than a genocide aided and abetted by our own elites, primarily
Marxist, suicidal humanist and capitalist globalist politicians and journalists.
They will eventually pay the ultimate price for their war crimes. Judgment day
is coming closer for each and every category A and B traitor. No mercy will be
shown to them because they know what they have done and continue to do.
Islamists cannot wage all out war on Europe and expect to win. But they have a
religious duty to try to wage Jihad in some way and eventually conquer all
countries. There are more devious ways to conquer than straightforward war,
however. As you can see, many of these things are already being done.
As we all know, Jihad means struggle. It is every Muslims duty to contribute to
or perform Jihad in one way or the other.
Political/Democratic/Apologistic Jihad
(Rhetorical/psychological warfare)
Thousands of active Islamic apologetics on all arenas (ranging from internet
forums to the public debate elsewhere). Their primary goal is to discredit,
pacify and silence all whom criticise Islam and Demographic Jihad.
Objectives:
1.
Terminate European freedom of speech by replacing it with hate-crime bills.
2.
Wage a war of words using charismatic individuals who directly or indirectly
promote and defend Islam.
3.
Engage the European public in dialogues, discussions, and debates in colleges,
universities, public libraries, radio, TV, churches and mosques on the virtues
of Islam. Proclaim how it is historically another peaceful religion like Judaism
and Christianity with the same monotheistic faith.
4.
Nominate Muslim sympathisers to political office to bring about favourable
legislation toward Islam and support potential sympathisers by block voting.
5.
Take control of as much of the press, TV, radio and the Internet as possible by
buying the related corporations or a controlling stock.
6.
Funding European educational institutions for the purpose of manipulating school
curriculum.
7.
Yield to the fear of the imminent shut-off of the lifeblood of America – black
gold. Europe’s economy depends on oil and much of it comes from the Middle East.
8.
Yell ''foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un-
American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran (al-Taqiyya)'' anytime Islam is
criticised or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena.
9.
Encourage Muslims to penetrate the parliament, specifically with Islamists who
can articulate a marvellous and peaceful picture of Islam. Acquire government
positions and get membership in local school boards. Train Muslims as medical
doctors to dominate the medical field, research and pharmaceutical companies.
Establish Middle Eastern restaurants throughout Europe to connect planners of
Islamisation in a discreet way.
10.
Provide very sizable monetary Muslim grants to colleges and universities in
Europe to establish ''Centers for Islamic studies'' with Muslim directors to
promote Islam in higher-education institutions.
11.
Let the entire world know through propaganda, speeches, seminars, local and
national media that terrorists have hijacked Islam, when in truth, Islam
hijacked the terrorists.
12.
Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Westerners for sympathy
and tolerance towards Muslims in the West who are portrayed as mainly immigrants
from oppressed countries.
13.
Form riots and demonstrations in the prison system demanding Islamic Sharia as
the way of life, not the national justice system.
14.
Unify the numerous Muslim lobbies in the EU and around Europe, the UN, mosques,
Islamic student centers, educational organisations, magazines and papers by
Internet and an annual convention to coordinate plans, propagate the faith and
manipulate news in the media.
15.
Applaud Muslims as loyal citizens of the EU by spotlighting their voting record
as the highest percentage of all minority and ethnic groups in Europe.
16.
”Victimisation” rhetoric as the most potent weapon.
This is very obvious in both the Palestine struggle but was also apparent in
Kosovo where they used the Serb-Kosovo issue with the support of western media
to win new territories. Both are clever use of strategies where victimisation is
the key to winning over the media and the sympathy of humanist organisations and
western politicians in general.
Demographic Jihad
(Demographic warfare)
What is Islamic demographic warfare (“peaceful” Jihad)? I doubt anyone can
explain the term better than true professionals:
Houari Boumedienne, Algeria’s undisputed ruler until his death in 1978, said it
clearly in a 1974 UN speech:
”One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the
Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends, because they will go
there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our
women will give us victory.”
Libyan Leader Mu'ammar Al-Qadhafi, March, 2007:
There are signs that Allah will grant victory to Islam in Europe without swords,
without guns, without conquest. We don't need terrorists, we don't need homicide
bombers. The 50+ million Muslims [in Europe] will turn it into a Muslim
continent within a few decades.
Breed the non-Muslims out, tactic. The most lethal of all tactics as the
democratic West is extremely vulnerable to this form of Jihad. Demographic
warfare is in line with democratic principles which historically have proven to
be very successful in tandem with other forms of Jihad.
Birth control is efficiently prevented through the teachings of the Quran and
the Hadith (Sharia). Furthermore, Sharia ensures that no Muslims are allowed to
marry non-Muslims (without the non-Muslim first converting)
1.
Accelerate Islamic demographic growth via:
Massive Muslim immigration. Total number of Muslims in Western Europe is now
more than 25 million, up from 50 000 in 1955 (7,8 million of them living in
France, 12% of the population)
Use no birth control whatsoever – every baby of Muslim parents is automatically
a Muslim and cannot choose another religion later.
2.
Muslim men marry European women and Islamises them (Approximately 30,000
annually in Western Europe). Then divorce them and remarry later.
Marriage of a Muslim male with a non-Muslim woman is usually acceptable if she
is Jewish or a Christian. After marriage the male will usually take measures to
convert his wife to Islam. The husband usually push hard to propagate Islam in
regards to the upbringing of their children. The children will be Muslims and
are given Muslim/Arabic names. Violence is usually a part of the picture. If
unsuccessful then divorce is the usual outcome.
3.
Self imposed segregation through ghettofication. Ghettos develop into Muslim
enclaves. This ensures a minimal of “negative” influences from the infidels.
Economical Jihad (Economical warfare)
This varies from direct funding of other variants of Jihad to the ”collection of
Jizya” through economical theft of exploitation of non-Muslims.
This can be theft, piracy, human trafficking, slave trade of non-Muslim for the
purpose of benefiting financially from sexual exploitation, drug trafficking,
drug dealing to non-Muslims etc).
The common factor here is that all crime is directed against non-Muslims often
with the purpose of financing other variants of Jihad.
Jihadi economical crimes against non-Muslims for the sake of financing other
variants of Jihad. Very often the economical loss of the non-Muslim will be the
goal in itself.
A majority of these criminals are not very intelligent or even practising
Muslims. Nevertheless, they have very often been given guidance or instructions
by other Muslims to ONLY target non-Muslims.
Examples of this type of activity ranges from petty theft aimed against
non-Muslims all over Europe to Somali piracy targeting non-Muslim ships.
Other objectives:
1. Take control of as much of the press, TV, radio and the Internet as possible
by buying the related corporations or a controlling stock.
2. Open numerous charities throughout Europe, but use the funds to support
Islamic terrorism with European funds.
PR and psychological Jihad
9/11, 7/7 London Bombings, Madrid bombings, Mumbai attack etc. The purpose of
these attacks is to act as PR for Salafi Islam and/or for propagating Jihad. The
main purpose of these attacks is to inflict psychological damage on the enemy
and as a recruitment tool to other variants of Jihad.
Other:
1.
Send intimidating messages and messengers to the outspoken individuals who are
critical of Islam with the purpose of silencing them and any other who would
dare.
2.
Nullify Europe's sense of security by manipulating the intelligence community
with misinformation. Periodically terrorise Europeans with reports of impending
attacks on bridges, tunnels, water supplies, airports, apartment buildings and
malls.
Armed (military) Jihad
These military campaigns often occur very discretely, often through the funding
of Muslim groups/leaders in various countries, with the primary goal of
exterminating the non-Muslims of that particular country through mass murder,
deportation and acts of genocide.
The current Jihad in Sudan is a very good example where 500 000 – 1 million
non-Muslims have been massacred the last few decades, funded by Saudi Arabia and
other Muslim nations/groups.
The purging of non-Muslims in the Sindh area (Currently Pakistan), Iraq, Jordan,
Syria, Northern Africa etc are other cases where non-Muslims have been
systematically exterminated through armed Jihad, pogroms etc.
Jihad through Dawah
(invitation/missionary)
This ranges from peaceful invites to visit Islamic cultural centers to more
aggressive invitational campaigns directed against f example people of African
decent in the prison system.
1.
Convert angry, alienated black inmates (and in some cases native Europeans) and
turn them into militants (so far 2,000 released inmates have joined al-Qaeda
worldwide). Only a few ''sleeper cells'' have been captured in Afghanistan and
on American soil.
2.
Reading, writing, arithmetic and research through the European educational
system, mosques and student centers (now 1,500) should be sprinkled with dislike
of Jews, Christians and democracy. There are currently more than 300 exclusively
Muslim schools in Western Europe which teach loyalty to the Ummah, not the
national constitution. In January of 2002, Saudi Arabia’s Embassy in Washington
mailed 4,500 packets of the Quran and videos promoting Islam to America's high
schools – free of charge. Saudi Arabia would not allow the U.S. to reciprocate.
It is unknown how common this practise is in Western Europe.
3.
Raise interest in Islam on European school campuses by insisting that junior
students take at least one course on Islam.
Chemical Jihad
(Chemical warfare)
Taliban using Heroin as Chemical Jihad against the West
However, this is not limited to the Taliban. A large majority of Muslim drug
traffickers/dealers all across Europe only sell to non-Muslims (this is very
often sanctioned by local Imams).
Making their subjects addicted to heroin is also a central factor when
”processing” non-Muslim girls for sexual/financial exploitation. Systematic rape
followed by injecting them with drugs is the usual way to break them down making
it easier to exploit them.
From
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2009/02/chemical-jihad-muslim-terror-gangs-target-uk-with-killer-heroin.html
TERROR chiefs plan to flood our streets with heroin in a terrifying plot to wage
“chemical jihad” on Britain.
And they have been using hate-filled Muslim gangs as their UK dealers.
Pakistani and Afghan-based al-Qaeda and Taliban warlords are sitting on a
£6billion stash of deadly heroin.
And they have ordered their dealers to sell it only to non-Muslims.
The ruthless racket is a two-pronged attack which peddles death and misery with
heroin while netting massive sums to pay for future terror attacks.
A senior security source told the Daily Star Sunday: “The Afghan poppy fields
are probably the biggest financial contributor to al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
“The UK’s heroin trade is increasing at an alarming rate and most of the cash
helps arm terrorists with bombs and guns.”
Between 1990 and 2005 Taliban-linked drug peddler Haji Baz Mohammed raked in a
staggering £17billion by pouring heroin into North America.
He told a US court that
“selling heroin was a jihad because they were taking Americans’ money and the
heroin was killing them”.
Now the fanatics have made the UK their top target. A whopping 30 tonnes of
heroin is being smuggled into Britain every year.
The drug is grown in the Afghan badlands and bought for £1,500 a kilo in
neighbouring Pakistan.
It’s finally sold on Britain’s streets, often in the backs of cabs or over kebab
shop counters, at between £30 and £50 a gram.
Asian
[Muslim] gangs are operating in South London, Luton, Preston,
Manchester, Leeds, Oldham, Birmingham and Bradford.
Our investigators went on the hunt for heroin in Luton and did a deal in the
back of a taxi.
Pulling out a handful of wraps, the driver said: “I’ll sort you a fix for £10
but a gram’s £50. It’s knockout gear.” Asked where the drugs came from he said:
“Poppy fields between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
“The big bosses have Taliban and al-Qaeda connections and we’re often told only
to deal it to non-Muslims. They call it chemical jihad and hope to ruin lives
while getting massive payouts at the same time.
“But there are lots of big-hitters who only sell to non-Muslims – to poison
them.”
One of the Asian gangs is the so-called Gambino clan – a 100-strong mob named
after the notorious US crime family.
A 40-year-old small-time dealer turned Christian told us:
“The Gambinos are the Pakistani Muslim gang that control most of the drug trade
in Luton – and they’ve all got good connections to al-Qaeda.
“Heroin and crack are on sale 24 hours a day and they get local taxi drivers to
drive the gear around and do deals.
“It’s a massive business. They’re untouchable.”

Background
The Islamic takeover of a country or a region of the country – is dependent on
the relative proportion of Muslims compared with non-Muslims, and/or the
influence of militant Muslims among the Muslim population. A higher proportion
of Muslims among the population - or the growth of the number of militants among
Muslims (even though Muslims constitute a smaller part of the population), drive
the political development along a certain path. A successful assimilation
process may change that path but there seems to be no definite examples yet of
such a process.
We need theories that describe (later also explain) the political development in
a country with a growing Muslim minority (or a growing militancy among the
Muslim population) and which country doesn't carry out a strategy to oppose
Islamisation. A preliminary version of a theory (concentrating on parts of the
conflict between political (traditional) Islam and domestic non-Muslim forces)
is presented below. On the basis of that description of the political process,
we then formulate (sect. 2) the structure of a prescriptive theory (a policy
model) that can cause this process to be stopped and therefore avoided. In sect.
4.1-12, this model is then filled with contents, and an integrated policy
helping to preserve the traditional rights in a European country is described in
all its parts and details.
It is our hope that those detailed policy proposals regarding different areas of
life in the society will be thoroughly discussed by all interested bloggers at
this forum. Perhaps a majority view may form about the specific contents of the
various individual policies (each regarding a different area). The results will
later serve as parts of a comprehensive policy that can serve as an example for
many political parties in Europe which - during the coming decades - will find
it necessary to formulate their policies regarding how to preserve a free
society.
By showing an extensive and detailed policy proposal, it may be possible to
influence the structure of that discussion and set the basic parameters for the
debate in hundreds of political parties, or organisations, in Europe.
The process and its phases
The basic development process seems to follow a pattern where eight phases can
be discerned. These phases are described below, but just briefly. Later a more
extensive description of them will be given. An underlying assumption is that a
growing Muslim minority allows radical Islamists to influence a growing part of
the population in the country. The contents of the traditional Islamic doctrine
which is recognised by all four schools of Islam to be the valid one (various
interpretations differ - of course - between them), seems to support the
interpretations of the radical Islamists regarding many matters. That is
probably a main reason for the passivity and silence of the so called "moderate"
Muslims who don't have a comprehensive theoretical doctrine to lean upon.
Another reason may be that many, or most, "moderates" share the same goals as
the radical Islamists but just oppose some of their methods. Fear of reprisals
can also be a cause of their passivity. The radicals also have strong
international support, including the financial support.
On the basis of our empirical knowledge about the political development in
Muslim countries, the attitudes regarding many matters of Muslims in Europe and
other pieces of information e g their reactions during the first five years of
the war on terror, a good prognosis can be made. During the coming decades,
numerous examples from Europe will illuminate the different phases and their
contents.
a.
The starting point is a Western society with a normal development Social peace,
satisfactory economic growth, ordinary crime levels, and changes in government
depending on democratic elections. The number of Muslims in the population is
very low, and their influence on society negligible.
Current examples: Finland, Baltic states.
b. An initial phase when the
proportion of Muslims is still fairly small, certain areas of human life of the
immigrant population are in practice left alone by the authorities. This allows
repression of girls and women in many Muslim families. Open or concealed honour
murders which enforce some behavioural rules of the Muslim minority happens now
and then. A high birth rate among Muslims and a high level of immigration from
Muslim countries is promoted inside the Muslim society.
Infrequent proposals aiming at establishing Sharia regarding various matters,
acknowledging Muslim holidays a s o are presented. Another characteristic is
increasing levels of crime motivated by attitudes often connected to jihad e g
an increasing level of rapes of non-Muslim women.
The incidence of rapes carried out by Muslim men in Norway against non-Muslim
women is many times higher than rapes by non-Muslim men. The rape frequency in e
g Oslo per capita is said to more than five times higher than in New York City.
And two thirds of these rapes are committed by immigrants even though they still
constitute a rather small part of society. This does not only reflect the
dysfunctional relations between sexes in the Muslim part of society but is also
a sign of an early “light-version” example of the influence of jihad thinking in
the country. Charities, property crimes including credit card crimes are used to
collect money for global jihad.
Current examples: USA, Sweden, Norway,
Denmark.
c. Preparations for jihad: Beginning
of geographic no-go areas for the police and public administration officials.
Frequent physical attacks and even single infrequent murders of policemen or
persons opposing political Islam. Death threats against adversaries are common.
An increasing physical destruction of property by groups, influenced by the
radical imams and the jihadists.
Besides frequent proposals to introduce Sharia laws, we find established
"private” Sharia courts in certain areas judging matters of special interest to
Muslims. Property crimes of various types in order to finance the beginning of a
domestic jihad movement.
Current examples: France; beginning in England, Netherlands, Sweden (Malmø).
d.
Start of jihad: Murders of
individual policemen or active anti-Muslims with a certain frequency, which
murders carry an evident political message. An organised countrywide Islamist
movement appears, and some mosques start to retreat from liberal versions of
Islam used as a deception during the initial stages ( 1-3). Establishment of
definite no-go areas where militants put taxes on corporations and individuals.
Extortion of individuals outside these areas.
Frequent use of unofficial (or now maybe even official) Sharia courts as a
substitute for ordinary courts, in the “liberated” areas. Militias start to form
among non-Muslim groups in society. Nationalistic non-jihad parties grow rapidly
in importance in the political life. The emigration of European citizens from
the country increases significantly.
Current examples: Beginning in France.
e. Development of jihad: Frequent
murders of policemen, teachers and well-known individuals opposing political
Islam. Physical fights between groups of Islamists and policemen, and even
occasional fire fights around and outside the borders of the “liberated areas”.
Militants start to openly show weapons and declare far-reaching political goals
e g taking over a region or the whole country. The liberal western versions of
Islam disappear completely at many mosques when it now is of less interest to
Islamists to deceive, and radicals put pressure on still moderate mosques.
Militias of non-Muslims groups grow in strength and start to take infrequent
part in the fighting. A growing physical separation between different religious
groups in the society. The level of emigration starts to become a national
problem. Passive governments and passive political parties are replaced by
hard-line nationalistic parties.
Current example: South of Thailand
f.
Jihad: Insurgency Use also of the
state's military force against larger groups of Islamists in regular military
fights. A national Home Guard is organised to try to prevent private militias to
grow and take over the main responsibility of protecting domestic citizens.
Campaigns by the Islamic movement to convince media and the population of their
right to dominate certain areas of the country proclaimed to be Muslim. Constant
murders and kidnappings of opponents and well-known persons.
Coercion of Muslim young men to take part in jihad. Regular taxation of people
in the liberated areas and extortion against citizens outside those areas. Few
Muslim groups help the government, while some declare neutrality.
Current example: The Philippines
g.
Jihad to Civil war. Large-scale
military fights when the domestic forces fight the Islamic movement's goal to
dominate a geographic region, or the country. Militias and the national Home
Guard complement the army. Widespread executions, terror, cruelty, mayhem and
widespread destruction reign in urban areas. Definite separation between Muslims
and non-Muslims leads to large-scale movements of the population.
Neighbouring countries will help the European citizens in the specific country
with – as a last resort – armed assistance. Neighbours or NATO are in some cases
asked by the government of the country to intervene militarily to help in the
fight.
Example: Lebanon during the seventies – end of eighties.
Victory for European forces (A), or
victory for Islam (B)
(A)
A possible end result of a civil war resulting in a victory for the domestic
population will be the total banishment of traditional Islam from a specific
country. Widespread emigration/deportation and large scale conversion of Muslims
in the country.
(B)
A victory for Islam will allow all the rules of a victorious Islam to be
applied. Traditional Islam will substitute for all liberal western versions of
Islam that have grown in the country but still lack any real theoretical basis
and a real doctrine.
Massive and nationwide expropriations, slavery of conquered women, continued
slaughter of non-Christians and Christians known for opinions opposed to Islam
and of moderate Muslims who initially try to protect non-Muslims, murder of
minorities’ e g gays. A Muslim dictatorship without democracy similar to
religious dictatorships in the Middle East, is established.
The Sharia laws are the basis for a new constitution and the laws of the
country. The institution of dhimmitude is introduced and will regulate the life
of Christians and Jews. The rest of the population will slowly be eliminated.
The GNP declines successively to less than 50 % of its former level, and an
insignificant growth happen only during good years.
A preliminary discussion of a few phases
If the governments of a European country during the coming decades show an
unwillingness to protect its European citizens from the inroads of Islamists,
this attitude will sooner or later lead to violent conflicts between the
traditional or new political anti-jihad forces, and the radical Islamic
movement. It seems highly possible that the development phases 2-3 may last a
long time in societies with strong democratic traditions, a good educational
system and – from the beginning - a fairly homogenous ethnic population. The
infiltration and dissemination of political Islam's values among non-Muslims and
moderate Muslims will then during a long period be carried out mainly with
non-violent means. The methods of this missionary and pre-Revolutionary work
during phases 2-4 show a pattern which will be analysed later. That work is
often structured according to principles laid down by e g the Moslem Brotherhood
for the expansion of political Islam in European countries.
This growth of Islamic influence can be counteracted by certain laws and
policies. The acceptance of such laws and rules by the majority will probably in
many countries be dependant on how far a country has advanced towards violent
conflict between the population groups. Gullible socialists and anti-Western
parties in a western country may decide not to stop the slide down the slope
toward more and more violence. They will prevent employment of the firm methods
which can stop the journey towards civil war. But sooner or later - if the
traditional parties will not protect the European population against the
continuous expansion of radical Islamic demands and actions - the European
population will shift their political preferences to nationalistic parties. It
is a sign of real weakness if traditional political parties are not able to
handle the new danger correctly. If they don't and new political forces get into
power, protective measures will be realised in those countries. The policy
measures will eliminate the possibility of an un-integrated Muslim population
group to take over and dominate the country politically and religiously.
So it is not so much a question about if the measures in sect 2 and 4 will be
adopted. The main question is instead w h e n. Will a lot of civil strife -
perhaps even an insurgency - happen before definite measures are taken? Will a
lot of valuable time, a large number of lives, and huge amounts of wealth be
wasted before today's politicians understand what really is happening, or they
are exchanged and correct measures are taken?
The proposed policies will stop the development towards more and more influence
for traditional Islam and violence and – in the end – insurgency and perhaps
civil war. They will lead to Muslims integrating into the society with values
that resist traditional - and therefore political - Islam.
An exceptional case is that the phases 4-5 are more or less bypassed and Muslims
are allowed to grow to become a majority in a country. Feeling its new power,
the new government will then soon start to take away the freedoms and human
rights of non-Muslims. This breaks the bonds between the citizens of the
country, and the original population will defend its ancient values of freedom,
and an insurgency and later a civil war will ensue. However, the government will
in this case be favourable towards radical Islam, and the army will then be
paralyzed. The European officer corps and the non-commissioned officers have not
yet been replaced. Non-Muslims will later according to the rules of dhimmitude
not be allowed to own weapons, or be part of the armed forces. The fighting will
be carried out by militias.
A calm and orderly transformation to dhimmitude for the non-Muslim part of the
population combined with widespread emigration of Europeans is improbable. So
even in these circumstances with a Muslim majority, civil war will erupt, and
Muslims and non-Muslims in different European countries will intervene and help
each other.
Each one of the phases above deserves its own detailed description and analysis.

The constant process of the Islamisation of a country sets forward from small
issues and the specific demands/requirements develop and increase progressively
with the increase of Muslims percentage wise in a country. First batch of
demands issues are noticeable already when the Muslim population are at 1%
increasing until they become 90 and then 100%
Historical case studies available are Lebanon, Kosovo, Kashmir, Egypt etc.
When the politically correct (cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists) agree to 'the reasonable' Muslim demands for their
'religious rights,' they also get the other components under the table. Here's
how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).
From 1-5%
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they
will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In
fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their
colourful uniqueness:
At 2% and 3%
they begin to proselytise from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups
with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:
From 5-10%
From 5% on
they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the
population.
They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by
Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims.
They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves
-- along with threats for failure to comply. (United States).
At this point, they will work to get the ruling
government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The
ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law
over the entire world.
From 10-20%
When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will
increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris
--car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in
uprisings and threats (Amsterdam - Mohammed cartoons).
Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 10-15%
After reaching
20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings
and church and synagogue burning:
Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%
From 40-60%
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic
terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:
Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%
From 60-80%
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of
non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of
Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:
Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%
From 80-100%
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and
genocide:
Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%
100% will
usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace -- there's
supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:
Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 99.9%
Of course, that's not the case. To satisfy their blood
lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons
(Arabisation being one reason[1]).
'Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of
Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father;
my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the
tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel. – Leon Uris, 'The
Haj'
It is good to remember that in many, many countries,
such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on
their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large.
Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate.
100%
All non-Muslims have been annihilated, emigrated from the country or have
converted to Islam.

The definition of an Islamic no-go zone
Cultural Marxists will claim that there is no such thing as an Islamic no-go
zone anywhere in the world, perhaps except in Waziristan. This is of course
propaganda as we know for a fact that there are thousands of Islamic no-go zones
all across Europe, in or close to our major cities.
There are more than 800 Islamic no-go zones in France alone and more than 30 in
Norway. The number correlates with the proportion of Muslims in an
area/ghetto/enclave. And the number of Islamic no-go zones in Western European
cities increases every single day.
Definition:
1.
Where non-Muslim individuals (youth are especially vulnerable) cannot move
freely without immediate danger of getting assaulted, robbed, raped, beaten,
harassed (physically or psychologically) by Muslim gangs or individuals.
2.
Where non-Muslims cannot express individuality in all free forms (including
religious, sexual, cultural) without immediate danger of getting assaulted,
robbed, raped, beaten, harassed (physically or psychologically) by Muslim gangs
or individuals.
3.
Where drunk, lightly dressed, non-Muslim girls/women cannot move freely after
dark without immediate danger of getting assaulted, robbed, raped, beaten,
harassed (physically or psychologically) by Muslim gangs or individuals.
Islamisation or the creation of Islamic no-go zones is under development from
the first Muslim family moves into a neighbourhood. As soon as this very first
family moves in, a progressive dhimmitude begins for all non-Muslims as they, at
first, out of politeness (or due to PC) chose to show special considerations
towards the Muslims (we wouldn’t want them to feel offended in any way do we?).
Considerations/politeness develops into uncomfortable pressure to give the
Muslims an increasing number of concessions. The process of Islamisation starts
with the demands for halal-food (1%) and ends in genocide (at 50-80%), as
several hundred historical examples have shown. You cannot reason with Islam.
Islam consumes everything eventually unless it is stopped in a decisive manner.
The process of Islamisation from 1% to 100% follows a classical and well known
pre-defined pattern as specified in another section of this book. Had this
“first family” been deported/chased away/killed the process of Islamisation and
the creation of future Islamic no-go zones can/could be avoided.
Islamic demands lead to dhimmitude for the non-Muslims. Dhimmitude ALWAYS
lead to a point where non-Muslims surrender and move out of the area or are
systematically killed like we see with the Christian/Jewish/Hindu/Buddhist
minorities in Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Bangladesh, Indonesia and in more than
30 other countries/territories. The moral of the story is; you cannot reason
with Islam, you can only isolate it.
2001
If only the West stop criticising Islam, Muslims will not feel stigmatised and
there will be no more terror attacks.
2030
If only the UK, Greece, Switzerland and the Nordic countries remove the cross
from their flags, Muslims will not feel discriminated against and there will be
no more terror attacks.
Realistic scenario? Likely
This is an overview of the current “demands/suggestions” made by moderate
Muslims as a way to prevent “stigmatisation and discrimination” which according
to them are the root causes of Islamic terror:
Sharia and Muslim Burial rituals
Muslims have for years demanded separate Muslim burial sites. In addition they
want Sharia compliant burial services.
- The body has to be buried within 24 hours
- Coffins are not allowed, the body must be buried in cloth.
- Cremation is forbidden
- Positioning the deceased so that the head is faced towards Mecca
There was a proposal to alter the name of Aldgate East underground station near
Brick Lane to Banglatown. Last year (2008), because of a shortage of cemetery
space for Muslims it was proposed by one Muslim councillor to relocate the
graves in Tower Hamlets Cemetery elsewhere in order to construct a ”multi-faith
burial site” – a Muslim burial site.
Why did the graves need to be dug up? Because dead Muslims cannot be buried
alongside Christians and other infidels. There are some relatives of those
buried in that cemetery still living. The dead include victims of the famous
Bethnal Green tube disaster of 1943.
Sharia and Public pools[1]
Includes reserving the pools to women, female lifeguards, swimming hijabs[1] and
to secure the area so that no men has access. In many cases this will include
covering up any underwater windows while there is a Muslim swimming session.
Results:
There are currently hundreds of arrangements like these all over Europe.
Sharia car insurance[2]
(Halal insurance – known as “takaful”)
Results:
Slowly popping up in European major cities.
Sharia compliant food[3]
(Halal food)
Halal meat has been a known phenomenon in Europe for decades. However,
some McDonald’s outlets now serve halal chicken, while larger branches of Tesco
offer a range of halal foods, including halal chocolate, halal cheese and halal
candy.[1] So far, it has targeted the Muslim community through Islamic
publications and on billboards.
Chief executive Bradley Brandon-Cross of Tesco said: ‘It is the responsibility
of British institutions to cater for such changes and welcome diversity.’
Sharia compliant food is also served in many prisons and offered by several air
lines.
Sharia-compliant Gold Mastercard[4]
The Cordoba Gold MasterCard does not charge or receive interest as this is in
direct conflict with Sharia Law. The company also
donates at least 10% of its profits to “charities” in the UK and abroad. It is
supported by a board of ethical advisor's, some being mullahs.
Sharia compliant Banks[5]
The UK's Muslim population totals about two million and fully sharia-compliant
banks have more than 30,000 customers across the UK.
Sharia compliant Mortgages[6]
Under Islamic law (Sharia) the payment or receipt of interest (riba) is
forbidden. Interest is seen as a payment that is unrelated to the value of the
goods or assets being traded, and is considered sinful.
There are tens of Sharia banks across Europe today.
Sharia crime courts in Europe[7]
Sharia law "courts" are already dealing with crime on the streets of major
European cities.
One example illustrates the following:
A teenage stabbing case among the Somali community in Woolwich had been dealt
with by a sharia "trial". Youth worker Aydarus Yusuf, 29, who was involved in
setting up the hearing, said a group of Somali youths were arrested by police on
suspicion of stabbing another Somali teenager. The victim's family told officers
the matter would be settled out of court and the suspects were released on bail.
A hearing was convened and elders ordered the assailants to compensate the
victim.
"All their uncles and their fathers were there," said Mr Yusuf. "So they all put
something towards that and apologised for the wrongdoing."
An Islamic Council in Leyton also revealed that it had dealt with more than
7,000 divorces while sharia courts in the capital have settled hundreds of
financial disputes. Along with the Islamic Council in Leyton, there are reports
of at least two other sharia courts sitting in London. There are also courts in
a number of other areas of the country with high Muslim populations, including
Dewsbury in West Yorkshire, Birmingham and Rotherham, South Yorkshire. Most are
understood to concentrate on divorce cases - although such judgments are not
recognised in British law - as well as financial disputes.
Suhaib Hasan, a spokesman for the Islamic Sharia Council in Leyton, which was
set up in 1982, said that he and his colleagues dealt with more than 200 cases a
year, ranging from inheritance to marriage and divorce. "From the beginning,
people have wanted our services. More and more come back to us. Each month we
deal with 20 cases," he said.
As well as giving advice on legal matters, such as inheritance, the website also
gives general guidance on Muslim practices including the need for beards and the
need for women to cover themselves in public. It also covers issues such as
whether women should train as doctors.

Saudi Arabia has a history of funding terrorists. It was the chief bankroller of
the Palestine Liberation Organisation in the 1970s and '80s at the height of the
PLO's involvement in global terror. But it would be true to say that, worldwide,
the Saudis tend to fund the precursors to terror rather than terror itself.
Since the 9/11 attacks in the US, in which the majority of hijackers were
Saudis, the Saudi Government, under intense US pressure, has tried to exercise
greater care and control over where Saudi money goes.
According to official Saudi information, Saudi funds have been used to build and
maintain over 1,500 mosques, 202 colleges, 210 Islamic Centers (2007 figures)
wholly or partly financed by Saudi Arabia, and almost 2,000 schools for
educating Muslim children in non-Islamic countries in Europe, North and South
America, Australia and Asia.
The Kingdom has fully or partially financed Wahhabi Islamic Centers in:
-
Austria
-
Great Britain
-
France
-
Spain
-
Italy
-
Germany
-
Netherlands
-
Belgium
-
Sweden
-
Denmark
-
Norway
-
Switzerland
-
Russia
-
US
-
Australia
and even in some Muslim countries such as Turkey, Morocco, Indonesia, Malaysia
and Djibuti among others.
Its also quite usual that Saudi embassies pay an annual stipend to local Wahabi
imams in the range of around 1 000-40 000 USD, depending on which country and
region.
Saudi aid to Muslims abroad, however, comes with strings attached, and most of
the recipient institutions end up promoting the Wahhabi version of Islam.
It is a well known fact that Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries have
continued spread Wahabism and other harsh forms of Salafism around the world the
last 35 years. Saudi Arabia alone have spent more than 87 billion USD abroad the
past two decades propagating Wahabism - “true Islam” in the Muslim world and in
the West[15]. The bulk of this funding goes to the construction and operating
expenses of thousands of mosques, madrassas and Muslim cultural centers
throughout the world. These Islamic institutions are now found in every single
country in the West accompanied by Imams who are “Saudi approved”.
In the Arab world, in South Asia and in Far East Asia, Islamic workers and
Islamic institutions have received aid from Saudi sources (usually private
individuals and foundations) that have slowly embedded Wahhabism in many Muslim
societies.
Before we continue on the Saudi topic, however, let’s try to define certain
principles and definitions;
There are four “Schools of Law” in Islam: Hanafi, Shafi’I, Maliki and Hanbali. A
majority of the Wahhabists and other Salafists belong to the Hanbali school.
The Western establishment and the so called “Western moderate Muslims” have
chosen to label the Saudi version of “traditional Islam” as Wahhabism, Sunni
theofascism or Conservative Salafism. The ideology of al-Qaeda can be called
Salafi-Jihadi (al-Salafiyya
al-jihadiyya) or Jihadi Salafism. However, the so called Wahhabis
themselves and other conservative followers of the Salafi school of Islam object
to this definition and rather prefer to be called Muwahiddun (Muwahidoon).
Wahhabism or Wahabism is a fundamentalist reinterpretation of Islam by Muhammad
ibn Abd-al-Wahhab, an 18th century scholar from what is today known as Saudi
Arabia, who advocated what he considered a return to the practices of the first
three generations of Islamic history.
In short; Wahhabist books and pamphlets teach that Muslims should reject
absolutely any non-Muslim ideas and practices, including political ones. In its
harshest form it preached that Muslims should not only "always oppose" infidels
"in every way," but "hate them for their religion ... for Allah's sake," and
that democracy "is responsible for all the horrible wars of the 20th century.[1]
Wahhabism is the dominant form of Islam in Saudi Arabia, and is also popular in
Kuwait, United Arab Emirates and several other areas and regions of the world.
It is often referred to as a "sect" or "branch" of Islam, though both its
supporters and many of its opponents reject such designations. It has developed
considerable influence in the Muslim world and the West through the funding of
mosques, schools and other means from Persian Gulf oil wealth.
The terms "Wahhabism" and "Salafism" are often used interchangeably. Wahhabism
has been called a "belittling" term for Salafi, while another source defines it
as "a particular orientation within Salafism," an orientation some consider
ultra-conservative.[2]
While the origins of Wahhabism and Salafism were quite distinct - Wahhabism was
a pared-down Islam that rejected modern influences, while Salafism was slightly
more flexible on the issue - they both shared a rejection of moderate teachings
on Islam in favour of direct, ‘traditional’ interpretations. But despite their
beginnings "as two distinct movements", the migration of Muslim Brotherhood
members from Egypt to Saudi Arabia and Saudi King Faisal's "embrace of Salafi
pan-Islamism resulted in cross-pollination between ibn Abd al-Wahhab’s teachings
on tawhid, shirk and bid‘ah and Salafi interpretations of ahadith (the sayings
of Muhammad)."
Salafism differs from the earlier contemporary Islamic revival movements of the
1970s and 1980s commonly referred to as Islamism, in that (at least many)
Salafis reject not only Western ideologies such as Socialism and Capitalism, but
also common Western concepts like economics, constitutions, political parties,
revolution and social justice. Muslims should not engage in Western activities
like politics, "even by giving them an Islamic slant." Instead, Muslims should
stick to traditional activities, particularly Dawah(missionary activity)[3].
Salafis promote Sharia rather than an Islamic political program or state.
From the perspective of the Salafis themselves, their history starts with
Prophet Muhammad himself. They consider themselves direct followers of his
teachings, and wish to emulate the piety of the first three generations of Islam
(the Salaf). All later scholars are merely revivers (not 'founders'). Modern
scholars may only come to teach (or remind) us of the instructions of the
original followers of Islam. From the perspective of some others, however, the
history of Salafism started a few hundred years ago, the exact time and place
still being a matter of discussion.
Some Salafis believe that violent jihad is permissible against foreign,
non-Muslim, occupation, but not against governments that claim to be Islamic.
Those governments are to be reformed, not violently overthrown. Civil war
(fitna) is to be avoided. (Salman al-Auda)
Other Salafis believe that it is permissible, even required, for believers to
engage in violent jihad to overthrow oppressive regimes, even if they claim to
be Islamic. One of the strongest proponents for violence was Sayyed Qutb, an
Egyptian member of the Muslim Brotherhood. After the Egyptian Brotherhood
assassinated the Egyptian leader, the Brotherhood was suppressed and Qutb went
to jail.
Some Salafis urge believers to support or endure the state under which they
live. Believers are encouraged to spread Salafism non-violently, by missionary
activity, social work, and political organisation. Above all, they should help
each other lead lives of true Islamic piety. (Rabe' al-Madkhali)
In recent years attention has been given to the "jihadi" Salafism of Al-Qaeda,
and related groups calling for the killing of civilians, and opposed by many
Muslim groups and governments, including the Saudi government and Muslim
Brotherhood. Debate continues today over the appropriate method of reform,
ranging from violent "Salafism jihadism" to less politicised evangelism. Despite
some similarities, the different contemporary self-proclaimed Salafist groups
often strongly disapprove of each other and deny the others Salafi character.
Typically, the so called Wahhabis and Salafis refer to themselves as "Muwahiddun
(Muwahidoon)" or followers of "Ahle Hadith," or "Ahl at-Tawheed."
It’s a myriad of definitions which can be quite confusing to the average person.
The important thing however is to be aware of how the Islamic apologists try to
manipulate western politicians and media in order to “downplay” the
extensiveness that Salafism/traditional Islam has in the world.
Informal networks and salafi activism
In order to understand the role played by Salafism in the process of
radicalisation of Muslim communities and how this process operates in Europe,
one must first examine its characteristics as a movement in the Arab world. In
contrast to other formal organisations, Salafism lacks hierarchical structures.
The Salafi network structure is decentralised and segmented. The different
groups are led by sheikhs or scholars with varying degrees of knowledge of the
science of the hadiths, but not necessarily having ties with each other. There
is also some element of competition between the sheikhs, each defending his
interpretation of the Salaf, or true path, as the correct one. The most
important scholars enjoy considerable support among students, who often
recommend them to others on account of their vast knowledge of religious issues.
There exists only an informal hierarchy based on the reputation of the different
sheikhs recognised by the Salafi community. The proliferation of sheikhs means
that there is no elite or clearly-defined leadership. This decentralised and
cellular structure, in which anyone with religious knowledge can claim
leadership of a group, explains how easy it has been in Europe to create groups
or autonomous cells willing to blow themselves up without the need for direct
orders from a higher authority.
Salafi activism operates through informal networks, the very same networks that
have ensured the transmission of Islamic knowledge down the centuries and have
proven extremely effective in creating a common Muslim identity. They mobilise
in social networks created out of personal relationships and shared beliefs.
Surveys of Jordanian Salafis reveal that friends played a crucial role in their
conversion to Salafism. The recruitment process is carried out directly during
discussions on Islam. Devout Muslims socialise in circles of friends for whom
Islam plays an important role in their lives. Religion is a recurring theme in
such circles. Through daily interaction, Salafis explain their theology to their
friends until the latter are convinced of the truth of their perspective. In
many cases, entire groups of friends convert to Salafism, given that all of them
are exposed to the same lessons, speeches, and ideas. The blend of friendship
and religious networks creates a high degree of group solidarity, which is still
one of the main features of Salafi groups in Europe, enabling the network to
survive close scrutiny by intelligence and security services in western
countries.
Islamic apologists and Wahhabism
According to the apologists the “evil and fundamentalist little sect of Islam” -
Wahhabism is isolated and only found in Saudi Arabia and practiced by al-Qaeda
and the Taliban. The truth however is that various versions of Salafism (Jihadi
Salafism being the most extreme) is an important factor in every single Muslim
country.
Wahhabism is the dominant form of Islam in Saudi Arabia, and is also popular in
Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. Wahhabism is also found in several parts of
Somalia, Algeria and Mauritania.
A strict version of Salafism (Ahle Hadith) is found in several Middle Eastern
countries and South Asia, in particular, Pakistan and India.
Other forms of Salafism are quite dominant in
Palestine, Syria and Jordan. It is also found in most other Muslim-majority
countries, including Turkey, Bosnia and Kosovo.
This is in fact a very complicated question with many facets. First of all you
have to consider the fact that there is a big difference between active support,
sympathising and empathising with this cause. You also have to realise that an
armed Jihad (armed struggle) always have specific goals. The Jihadists in
Dagestan, Chechnya, Southern Thailand, Southern Philippines, Syria (Palestine)
etc. all want to create Islamic states and implement Sharia. In order to reach
this objective they must wage war and defeat the infidels (non-Muslims).
However, al-Qaeda and Jihadists in the West have other objectives. They
acknowledge the fact that Islam is still very weak in Europe, so an armed Jihad
in the streets of European capitals is not advised at this point. Islam and the
number of Muslims need to grow a few more generations. Al-Qaeda therefore seek
to silence the Western media and Western politicians by creating fear in our
hearts in order to force them to capitulate to radical Islam. The so called
Moderate Muslims are playing “good cop” in this context. They will blame
poverty, modern colonialism (Israel, Iraq, and Afghanistan), discrimination,
stigmatisation and other root causes as the reasons for the rise of Jihadi
Salafism. They will ask for concessions from European politicians and media in
order to “prevent” radical Islam.
According to Daniel Pipes[11], approximately 10-15% of Muslims around the world
actively support militant Islamists (usually economic support to Hamas,
Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, al-Qaeda or other terrorist organisations). Since
there are more than 1,2 billion Muslims worldwide that totals 120-180 million.
These Muslims are spread all over the world and are either militants themselves
or direct supporters of militant Islamists. The passive support is much higher.
Some polls show that around 60-65% of Muslims support “Islamic Jihad” and
similar Middle Eastern terrorist organisations. 36% of Pakistanis believe that
the Pakistani army should not pursue al-Qaeda in Pakistan[12].
Sympathy or direct support to Jihadi Salafism is not by any means reserved to
Salafi Muslims (Wahhabists or other Salafi groups). Muslims from all schools of
Islam sympathise and support militant Jihadists.
Nearly all Pakistani Sunni Muslims belong to the Hanafi school of Islam. The
Hanafi school is the oldest one
and most liberal and tolerant of the four schools. It is also the largest
movement within Islam with around 30% followers worldwide. So does that mean
that the Hanafi Muslims are peaceful, moderate Muslims? Unfortunately its a lot
more complex than this. All Schools of Law are quite intolerant (Hanbali being
the most intolerant). As an illustration; All schools of Islam preach death to
homosexuals and apostates (converts from Islam) and pledge the ultimate goal of
implementing Sharia in society.
Hanafi being the dominant form of Islam in both Pakistan and Europe would
indicate that they were more moderate and tolerant than other Muslims, yet,
Muslims from Pakistan are well known for their conservativism and intolerance.
There are tens of Genocides and hundreds of mass murders (see pogroms) recorded
in history committed by hanafi Muslims. There are thousands of examples of
Jihadi killings committed by hanafi Muslims throughout history and this trend
continues even today. It is the largest one and it is followed by approximately
30 percent of Muslims worldwide. The Hanafi School is predominant in Turkey,
northern Egypt, Levant, and amongst the Muslim communities of the Balkans,
Central and South Asia, China, Russia and Ukraine. In other words the Genocide
of more than 1,5 million Christian Armenians, the Greek and Assyrian Genocides
were also acts of so called moderate “Hanafi” Islam.
Extremists get together to worry about intolerance.
by Stephen Schwartz - 10/06/2005, Warsaw
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN something would be out of kilter. At the end of September,
the Organisation for Security and Cooperation (OSCE), an international body made
up of 55 nations--including such dictatorships as nearby Belarus--called for a
day-long roundtable in the lovely and spiritual city of Warsaw. The topic was
"Intolerance and Discrimination Against Muslims." Aside from OSCE diplomats,
staff, and two representatives of the U.S. Commission for International
Religious Freedom, the participants consisted of some 25 representatives of
Muslim NGOs as well as European and North American human rights monitors.
I should have known something was amiss because I have witnessed much OSCE
mischief since going to postwar Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo in the late 1990s.
And don't forget that OSCE was the international organisation with the nerve to
propose that it "observe" the most recent U.S. presidential election for
presumptive irregularities. But it has an especially bad record in the Balkans,
as has been pointed out in The Weekly Standard.
The OSCE is, to put it bluntly, political correctness personified. Its agenda
for combating intolerance and discrimination includes everyone from prostitutes
to victims of schoolyard bullying. But it was obvious that the status of Islam
in Europe, which has lately involved bloodshed in several countries, is viewed
by OSCEcrats as an intractable challenge. The do-gooders had no apparent choice
but to relegate the roundtable on Muslims to a place outside the regular agenda
of a weeklong "human dimension" assembly in Warsaw, and to hold the Muslim
gathering in the basement of a hotel.
Reliable sources reported that the OSCE's Warsaw conference on Islam came as a
trade-off for a conference on anti-Semitism held in Córdoba, Spain, earlier this
year. It was soon made clear that the event would serve as little more than a
platform for ranters and cranks from such countries as Britain and Denmark who
were there to defend radical Islam. It turns out that proponents of Islamist
extremism over there are even more aggressive, defiant, and confrontational than
their American counterparts.
Thus, a religious functionary from Britain, Imam Dr. Abduljalil Sajid of the
grandly (and, it appears, falsely) titled Muslim Council for Religious and
Racial Harmony, used up much of the morning's discussion with loud denunciations
of Tony Blair for his alleged assault on civil rights in the wake of "7/7."
Before that this religious leader, when asked which school of Islamic law, or
madhdhab, he followed, said, "I shoot all madhdhabs."
Imam Sajid regaled the audience with the many times he had confronted Blair,
insisting to the British prime minister that Islam and terrorism are completely
unconnected from one another. He also offered up a diatribe against internment
at Guantanamo. In the minds of many Muslims at the event, it seemed, the London
bombings and the attacks that preceded them, as well as the radical ideology
that inspired them, are irrelevant; the only thing that matters is to push back
against the legal response of the British, U.S., and other European authorities.
THE PHRASE "the Fight Against Extremism" was included on the agenda of the
meeting, but not one word was said about it until the very end, when Turkish
diplomat Omur Orhun let his voice sink to a near-whisper. He affirmed, in
closing the deliberations, that the problem of extremism would eventually have
to be taken up, "because that is what brought us all here." But to listen to
many of the other participants one might have thought fear of Muslims among
non-Muslims in Europe was a purely gratuitous expression of bias, or, as Nuzhat
Jafri of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women put it, a product of "U.S. foreign
policy decisions."
When I pointed out to her that Saudi-financed Wahhabi terrorists have struck
Turkey, a country that opposed U.S. policy in Iraq, as well as Morocco and
Indonesia, which have nothing to do with Washington's policies, Ms. Jafri
limited herself to the admission that additional "root causes" exist; these she
left undescribed.
Others were less restrained. Scandinavian countries seem to have experienced a
particular incapacity to exclude Muslim extremists from their territories. Bashy
Quraishy, a man who disclaims being religious, averring that he is not a
practicing Muslim, seems to have adopted the defence of radical Islam as a
career move, and is a self-proclaimed functionary of the "Federation of Ethnic
Minority Organisations in Denmark." Although he admits his irreligion and
distance from Islam, Quraishy has no compunctions about presenting himself as an
expert on it.
Quraishy did his best to hog the proceedings. While Imam Sajid asserted the lack
of any link between Islam and terror, Quraishy demanded that global media be
prevented from even suggesting such a thing. His printed handouts, piled up on a
side table, were hallucinatory in tone. To him, "America Under Attack"--a CNN
caption after September 11, 2001--was offensively prejudiced. In addition,
Quraishy's handouts insisted, "there was no proof, no one took responsibility,
and not one particular country or group was singled out" for blame in the World
Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. There was nothing more than "finger pointing"
at Islam.
Quraishy also recycled the late Jude Wanniski's attacks on Richard Perle as the
evil controller of "uncritical and nationalistic journalism and intentional use
of anti-Islam terminology as a tool of propaganda." Quraishy reproduced the
clichés employed by al Qaeda and its supporters: the "Crusades are back," and
Saddam in Iraq was nothing but a "tiny dictator." Quraishy's pamphlets even
asserted that "fundamentalist," "ghetto," and "ethnic gangs" are hate terms and
should not be used in any media.
The rest of the palaver was less fervid, but equally absurd. Canadian Muslims
complained about the effect of the U.S. Patriot Act on their country. As the
afternoon wore on, phrases such as "so-called terrorists" were increasingly
heard. Brit Mohammed Aziz, of Faithwise, declared that members of his community
are "first responsible to God . . . then to the umma," or global Islam, and only
lastly to the country in which they live.
All of this came about three months after the horror in London. The meeting
ended with nothing more than an agreement to hold more meetings. The OSCE it
seems, like much of Europe, has few answers for the challenge of radical
Islam--aside from their pieties about discrimination.

By Mohammad Asghar/Jamie Glazov
Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Mohammad Asghar, an ex-Muslim who came out
of Islam after discovering its true teachings. Together with studying the Qur’an
for over twenty-five years, he has also been writing his commentary on its
verses - an endeavor, he hopes, that will help non-Muslim leaders, as well as
ordinary citizens, understand the true messages they convey to Muslims.
FP:
Mohammad Asghar, welcome to Frontpage Interview.
Asghar:
Thank you for inviting me to the Frontpage interview.
FP: Tell us about your background
and your upbringing as a Muslim.
Asghar:
I was born in a practicing Muslim family of Bangladesh. My parents adhered to
almost all the tenets of Islam and they made sure that while growing up, I also
learned all of them so that I could practice them in my own life. Like many
other Muslim children of my neighbourhood, I also attended a Madrassa and
learned how to read the Qur’an without, of course, understanding what I was
reading.
In my youth, I tried to live the life of a true Muslim. I said my Islamically
mandated prayers, though not on a regular basis; visited, and prayed at, the
tombs of the Muslim saints; celebrated the birthday of the Prophet of Islam,
even though nobody knows even today the year of his birth; celebrated his
ascension to the Gardens (Jannat) or Heaven and sang his praises, laden with
amorous feelings towards him, whenever my parents and our neighbours organised
Mehfil-e-Milad – which is a gathering that Muslims of the Indian sub-continent
arrange to reinforce Islamic teachings in the Muslim attendees. I strongly
believed that the things I was then doing were part of the duties I owed to
Allah and His Prophet and that without pleasing both of them, I would not enter
the Garden on the Day of Judgment.
FP: What is the point of teaching
children to read the Qur’an without explaining it to them?
Asghar:
According to some unconfirmed reports, there are over 1.565 billion Muslims in
the world today. Out of these Muslims, only about 300 million understand and
speak Arabic. Since a good part of the Qur’an is written in colloquial Arabic,
spoken by the tribe of Quraish of the 7th century Mecca, understanding it even
by many modern-day Arabic speaking Muslims is not an easy task.
The bulk of the remaining 1.2 billion Muslims live in the Indian sub-continent
and south-east Asia. Almost all of them do not know Arabic. Even those people,
known as Hafez-e-Qur’an, who commit the whole Qur’an to their memory, do not
understand the meaning of the words they so assiduously memorise over a long
period of time.
This being the reality, the question is why do Muslims read or memorise the
Qur’an without understanding it? The answer to the question lies in the fact
that most of them, especially those Muslims who live in the non-Arabic speaking
countries, depend on their Mullahs for learning the essential doctrines and
practices of their faith. They do what they are told by their Mullahs. This is
more so in case of those Muslims who are illiterate and poor. A casual
observation of Muslims of the Indian sub-continent will make this fact clear to
any interested observer.
These Mullahs tell the ordinary Muslims that reading or reciting the Qur’an in
Arabic is the easiest way to earn the pleasure of Allah, a condition without
fulfilling which, no human or Jinn would enter the Garden (Jannat in Arabic) on
the Day of Judgment. This leads not only the illiterate and poor Muslims, but
also the highly educated and rich Muslims to read the Qur’an in Arabic without
trying to understand what they are reading or reciting in their prayer. These
Muslims, in their turn, require their children to read and also memorise a few
short chapters of the Qur’an that they need to recite while saying their daily
obligatory prayers.
FP: This is mind-boggling: people
engaging in a religion by repeating things they do not themselves understand.
So what made you start questioning the Islamic faith?
Asghar:
About 25 years ago, I got the jolt of my life when a Maulvi (Muslim cleric)
refused to let me lay the dead body of my mother to rest, as, according to him,
the dress I was wearing at the time, was not an Islamic one. This dress is known
as Lungi to the Bangladeshis, and it resembles the one the Malaysian and the
Burmese men wear all the time (unlike the trouser, its lower part is wide open,
and as such, one can see the wearer’s private parts, if one deigns to look
upward from the earth).
FP: Why do people wear the Lungi and
why would a person want to keep one’s private parts exposed? Why were you
wearing it?
Aghar:
Lungi, like Saree for women, is a traditional dress and it is worn by almost all
the men of Bangladesh. With it, they cover the lower part of their bodies. Since
the lungi’s bottom part remains wide open, many Muslim Mullahs believe that it
should not be worn by Muslim men, as, through its opening, the earth can see
their private parts. According to them, exposing oneself to the earth is a great
sin.
But I have not heard any Mullah saying the same thing about Saree. It is a long
piece of cloth, which women wrap around their waists; its bottom part, like
lungi, remaining open. The earth can easily see their private parts, if it
wishes to do so, but surprisingly, the Mullahs freely let their wives wear it
for reasons that only they know.
FP: Um, right. Well, what can I say,
perhaps we’ll save this topic for a panel discussion.
So in any case, what effect did the Lungi incident have on you?
Aghar:
It led me to find out what Islam really stands for, and what the Qur’an actually
teaches its followers. I began to read the Qur’an in English, translated by
Abdullah Yusuf Ali and Mohammad Marmaduke Pickthall, as well as its translations
in Bengali and Urdu. This I did in order to make sure that what I was reading in
English was identical with the Bengali and Urdu translations and that these
represented the correct and faithful renditions of the Arabic Qur’an.
What I read in, and discovered from, the Qur’an was, and still remains,
mind-boggling to me. I could not believe that Allah, if He exists, could have
said things that He is believed to have told Muhammad and his followers. I could
not believe, for instance, that the Creator of the Universe could have told the
Muslim men the following:
2:223: “Your wives are as a tilth unto you: so approach your tilth when or how
ye will: but do some good act for your souls beforehand; and fear Allah, and
know that ye are to meet Him (in the Hereafter) and give (these) good tidings to
those who believe.”
By telling the Muslim men that they can engage their wives in sexual acts “when
or how ye will,” Allah effectively permitted them to rape their wives, for this
verse of the Qur’an does not require them either to obtain their wives’ consent,
or to engage themselves in foreplays, without which, both men and women can
hardly have what is known as consensual sex. To Allah, Muslim men doing “some
good act for their souls beforehand” i.e. saying prayer to Him before raping
their wives is what He considered to be a pious act that will help Him exonerate
them from the crime of rape on the Day of Judgment.
FP: In terms of 2:223 in regards to
the sanctioning for a man raping his wife, if God does not instruct this, then
where did this come from? Who created these verses and why?
Aghar:
In my judgment, the Qur’an is a record of what the Prophet of Islam had done or
said during his stay on earth. His followers remembered and narrated them to the
collectors of the Qur’an when it was being compiled. Therefore, the content of
verse 2:223 should be considered in conjunction with what he had done in his
lifetime and what he had told his followers on the issue mentioned in it.
In a storied Hadith (words of Muhammad), we read:
Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3240:
“Jabir reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) saw a woman, and
so he came to his wife, Zainab, as she was tanning a leather and had sexual
intercourse with her. He then went to his Companions and told them: The woman
advances and retires in the shape of a devil, so when one of you sees a woman,
he should come to his wife, for that will repel what he feels in his heart.”
What the Prophet had done to his unprepared wife is exactly what is stated in
the above verse i.e. Muslim men can have sex with their women with no notice to
them, and they can also rape them, if it makes them happy.
FP: So you left Islam?
Asghar:
Yes. I am an ex-Muslim. I no more subscribe to the teachings and the doctrines
of Islam, as I consider them to be obnoxious and, thus, unfit for good humans.
FP: How did your family and
community react to you leaving Islam? Has your life been in danger?
Asghar: I told my family members what I found in the Qur’an and they agreed with
me. But it was a different story with the community I was living in; to it, I
was a pariah. Most of my friends and acquaintances stopped talking to me,
fearing that the information I was trying to disseminate was going to take them
out of their religion, while others issued veiled threat against my person.
Realising that I might be harmed, if I continued to live in the country of my
birth and talk about the fallacies of Islam, I, along with my family members,
migrated to the United States.
Here I feel safe, even though I have already received a couple of threats
against my life. The Justice Department of my adoptive country has assured me of
all help, should I feel that my life is at risk. My family members and I are
obliged to it for standing by our side.
FP:
Your thoughts on Islam’s impact on Muslims and on non-Muslims?
Asghar:
Muslims themselves are the victims of Islam. Many of them have knowingly become
its victims, whilst a vast majority of them have fallen into its trap without
knowing anything about its true nature and teachings. Islam has turned them into
robots; most Muslims do only what, they believe, Allah told them to do. This is
evident from the fact that most, if not all, Muslims do nothing in their lives
without first saying “Bismillah …” i.e. beginning everything in Allah’s name,
without whose help, so they believe, they can achieve nothing in their lives.
Since Allah has asked the Muslims to believe in the Unseen and to remain
steadfast in their prayer (the Qur’an; 2:2), most of them spend a colossal
amount of their valuable time on prayer to Him. Believing that mustering the
teachings of the Qur’an is what they needed in their lives, they helped produce
in the past, and are still helping produce, a large number of Islamic clerics,
instead of good scientists and scholars of other subjects that are essential for
the good, and the survival, of mankind. The following statistics throws a light
on the state of the ‘man-given knowledge’ in the Muslim world:
There are 57 member-countries of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC),
and all of them put together have around 500 universities; one university for
every three million Muslims. The United States has 5,758 universities and India
has 8,407. In 2004, Shanghai Jiao Tong University compiled an 'Academic Ranking
of World Universities, and intriguingly, not one university from the
Muslim-majority states was in the top-500.
This clearly tells us that the Muslims lack in education; this being the result
of their Islamic beliefs, as a consequence of which, over the past 105 years,
only three Nobel Prizes have been won by about 1.4 billion Muslims (other than
the Peace Prizes), while approximately 14 million Jews have won 180 Nobel Prizes
during the same period.
FP:
What is behind this teaching about keeping everyone praying all the time? If
this isn’t God wanting it, and let us suppose this is man-made, what was the
intention here? Why teach this kind of stuff?
Aghar:
Before the advent of Islam, the Pagans of the Arabian Peninsula prayed three
times each day; about sunrise, at noon and about sunset, turning their faces
towards the Ka’aba (Washington Irving, Mahomet & his Associates, p. 31).
Muhammad retained this pagan ritual in Islam and, in some unguarded moments, he
told his followers to pray twice, thrice or four times in a day. Since the norms
to be followed while saying these prayers were well known to his followers, he
did not mention them in the Qur’an. For want of clarity on the number of prayers
that Muslims must offer everyday to Allah, Sunnis believe it to be five; Shias,
by and large, consider it to be three (Dr. Rafiq Zakaria; Muhammad and the
Quran, p. 74).
The Prophet of Islam, retained daily prayers in Islam for a specific reason:
being militarily and economically weak, he needed to tell the Pagans of Mecca
that the religion he was preaching was not drastically different from the one
they themselves were practicing and, as such, they should accept it without
resistance. He continued to follow his policy of appeasement even after his
arrival in Medina, where the Jews vehemently opposed most of the precepts of his
religion. In order to win them over, he changed the direction of the Muslim
prayer from Ka’aba in Mecca to Jerusalem. When the Jews refused to budge, he
expressed his mild displeasure by asking his followers to face Ka’aba at the
time of saying their prayer.
The Muslim prayer achieved a new dimension, and importance as well, after Muslim
rulers embarked upon conquering others’ lands. Once miserably poor and
destitute, neo-Muslims from the desert of Arabia found themselves dazzled by the
wealth and affluence of the countries they were able to conquer and plunder just
a few years after the death of Muhammad. The fair and beautiful women of the
conquered countries was another reason that induced them to fight valiantly
against their foes.
Al-Baladhuri, the most judicious of the historians of the {Muslim} conquest,
declares that in recruiting for the Syrian campaign Abu Bakr “wrote to the
people of Makkah, al-Taif, al-Yaman and all the Arabs of Najd and al-Hijaz
summoning them to a ‘holy war’ and arousing their desire for it and for the
booty to be got from the Greeks {booty consisted of all things captured from the
vanquished as well as their women}. Rustam, the Persian general who defended his
country against the Arab invasion, made the following remark to the Muslim
envoy: “I have learned that ye were forced to what ye are doing by nothing but
the narrow means of livelihood and by poverty.” A verse in the Hamasah of
abu-Tammam has put the case tersely:
No, not for Paradise didst thou the nomad life forsake;
Rather, I believe, it was thy yearning after bread and dates.
(Quoted from Phillip K. Hitti’s History of the Arabs, p. 144).
But as the time passed and the lust to procure more wealth and women became very
acute in the soldiers of Allah, Muslim rulers became worried, and feared loss of
control over them, if they took no action to check their overflowing passion.
Finding a solution to their problem in prayer, they raised its number to five;
prescribed recitation from the Qur’an as well as various movements and gestures
in order to prevent their minds from thinking about the non-Muslims’ wealth and
women for a number of hours of each day.
This was like the indoctrination that the dictators of our time have used to
keep their military under control. Muslim rulers succeeded in their attempt and
eventually, the daily five prayers became an integral part of the Muslims’
lives. In the hope of pleasing Allah, they not only waste a colossal amount of
their valuable time, they also put off their important duties in order to
perform their prayers, thereby greatly harming their own and their nations’
economic well being. The sooner Muslims realise this fact the better it would be
for them as well as for the rest of the world.
FP:
A large part of the Muslim world is also engulfed by poverty. This also has
something to do with Islamic theology, right?
Aghar:
Of course. Poverty is a virtue for Muslims. Most of them believe that they get
what Allah gives them. Therefore, in contrast to other people and nations that
have struggled hard to ameliorate their economic conditions, and then became
wealthy, most Muslims deemed it appropriate, due to their religious convictions,
to keep on inflicting poverty upon themselves. Indeed, many Muslim nations
bartered away their self-esteem, political independence, and sovereignty to
please those benefactors whose charity they needed for their economic survival.
But without taking responsibility for their own failures and follies, they blame
the affluent and wealthy non-Muslims and the non-Muslim nations for all the ills
they suffer from today; these, they contend, having been inflicted upon them
mostly by the unjust and treacherous Christians. The Qur’an bolsters the
Muslims’ hatred towards the Christians by telling them that Allah gives them
wealth not for attaining prosperity on earth, but to punish them in their next
life. (cf. the Qur’an; 10:69 & 70).
Inspired by this and similar teachings of the Qur’an, Muslims not only hate
those non-Muslims who are rich, they also look forward, albeit, silently to the
day when they will be able to obliterate Christianity, and other religions as
well, from the face of the earth.
FP:
This is founded on the war that Islam teaches Muslims must wage on unbelievers.
Aghar:
Yes. As we all know, Islam has divided the earth into two camps: Darul Islam and
Darul Harb i.e. the Muslim world and the non-Muslim world. Since the Muslims are
Allah’s foot soldiers and they are required to fulfill His plan, as it is
enunciated in the Qur’an, for earth and mankind, the Muslims must not only
recover the land that the non-Muslims occupy today, they are also required to
force them into Islam or kill them, if they refuse to become Muslims (see the
Qur’an; 9:29). It is, in fact, “a notable declaration of State policy
promulgated {by Allah} about the month of Shawwal. A. H. 9, and read out by
Hadhrat Ali at the Pilgrimage two months later in order to give the policy the
widest publicity possible. …” (Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Quran, as corrected
by the King of Saudi Arabia, p. 494).
This teaching of the Qur’an effectively and automatically turns the Muslims
against the Christians; the former having also been told by it not to take the
latter as their friends or protectors, as they (the Christians) and the Jews are
friends of each other and, thus, both of them are in collusion against the
Muslim Umma (Nation) and their religion.
Apart from the Jews and the Christians, the Muslims also hate the Pagans
{Mushrikun in Arabic) from the core of their hearts, as they, according to the
Qur’an, are unclean (see the Qur’an; 9:28), and, thus, unworthy of living on
Allah’s earth. Therefore, the Muslims must kill them whenever they get the
chance to fulfill the instruction Allah gave them through the Qur’an (see verse
9:5). This is a very dangerous instruction, and it is not at all good for those
inhabitants of the earth, who worship deities other than Him.
This and other truths about Islam, therefore, must be brought to the notice of
the non-Muslim communities of the world in order to prepare them against the
deadly hazards that Islam is likely to put them in, when its followers becomes,
in future, a dominant force on earth. Paying keen attention to what is written
in the Qur’an is not only in the best interest of the present-day non-Muslims of
the world, it would also help them protect their descendants from the
Allah-inspired wrath of the Muslims in days to come.
FP:
Are you optimistic and pessimistic in the West being able to confront the
Islamic agenda?
Asghar:
I am saddened by the fact that the West has not learned anything from the
Qur’an, the history of Islam and from its adherents. The following examples
describe Muslims’ mindset and what Allah wants them to do for taking over the
earth from the Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Polytheists and the followers of
other religions:
1.
Muhammad came to Medina as a fugitive from Mecca and within ten years, he became
its absolute ruler after killing and uprooting the Jews of the city and by
converting the Pagans to his faith. By his action, he taught his followers that
it is the number of Muslims that matters and that it is their number that will
help them establish their rule over the whole of the earth. Had he known that a
time will come when number of men will be replaced by gun, he would have advised
his followers to arm themselves with it first and then rampage the whole world.
2.
Abyssinia, a Christian country in the seventh century, was the first country to
give shelter to Muslims of Mecca. When Muslims became numerous and strong, they
forgot the favor its Christian ruler had done to them and took it over as their
possession and converted its Christian inhabitants to Islam. They also conquered
almost one-third of the earth and would also have overrun the whole of Europe,
had they not been defeated by the Christians at the gates of Vienna in 1683.
3.
Allah has promised to Muslims that He will make them the inheritors and the
rulers of the earth and also help them establish Islam all over it (the Quran;
24:55,57). To achieve these objectives, He has commanded them to engage in
battles with those who refused to accept Islam; to smite their necks, and after
overpowering them, to take them prisoners, whom they may either set free as a
favor to them or ransom them for money after the hostility is over (the Quran;
47:4).
Instead of taking lessons from the past history of Muslims, most leaders and the
people of the West believe that Islam is a religion of peace and its followers
are as good as they appear to them. Many of them took no lesson even after
seeing the destructions and deaths some Muslims inflicted on New York and
Washington, D.C; they laud Islam’s good teachings even after knowing that a film
director lost his life to a Muslim fanatic for the crime of making a supposedly
anti-Islam film. They also praise the so-called tolerance that Islam teaches its
adherents even after being informed that an American publisher refused to
publish a book that contains an account of Prophet Muhammad’s wife after
receiving threats of dire consequences from Muslims, if it published the book.
Many leaders of the West and its citizenry brushed off the president of Iran
after he called for the complete annihilation of Israel, saying that he was a
mad man. In reality, it was not his madness that had made him call for Israel’s
destruction; rather, it was his hatred of the Jews that made him say what he
believes Allah wants him to say and do to destroy them and their state.
How Muslims intend to destroy Israel and also, how they are going to take over
the earth from the followers of other religions, when they do not have the
necessary wherewithal to achieve their objectives? Here are the answers to the
questions:
-Iranian and other Muslims will continue with their efforts to acquire deadly
weapons, which they will need in days to come to destroy Israel – a desire that
Dr. Mahathir, the former prime minister of Malaysia, had clearly expressed in
his speech before the Muslim delegates to the OIC Summit, held in his country in
2003, saying:
“…It cannot be that there is no other way. 1.3 billion Muslims cannot be
defeated by a few million Jews. There must be a way. And we can only find a way
if we stop to think, to assess our weaknesses and our strength, to plan, to
strategise and then to counter-attack. As Muslims we must seek guidance from the
Al-Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet. Surely the 23 years’ struggle of the
Prophet can provide us with some guidance as to what we can and should do. … We
must build up our strength in every field, not just in armed might. Our
countries must be stable and well administered, must be economically and
financially strong, industrially competent and technologically advanced. This
will take time, but it can be done and it will be time well spent. We are
enjoined by our religion to be patient. Innallahamaasabirin. Obviously there is
virtue in being patient.”
While preparing themselves to attack the Jews, Muslims are gradually taking up
residence in the affluent countries of the West, with two main objectives in
their minds. The first one is to earn money and the second is to sow the seed of
Islam among the people of their host countries. Together with converting
criminals and disgruntled folks to their faith, they also seek to increase their
own number by having as many children as their women can produce. In cases where
they have no women of their own to produce children for them, they trap the
Western women and, after converting them to Islam, they produce their desired
number of children with them.
After their number, in this way, has become large and politically powerful, they
will seek autonomy, or demand complete independence for those regions of their
host countries in which they will be living. This has already happened to India,
and it is happening right now to the Philippines, Thailand and China.
What is likely to happen to the West, if it continues to follow its present
policy of ‘political correctness’ and apathy towards the hostile teachings of
Islam, the American Historian and Philosopher Will Durant (1885-1981) has
described it for us in the following words:
"The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is
a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilisation is a precious
good, whose delicate complex of order and freedom, culture and peace, can at any
moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without or multiplying within."
FP: What advice do you give the West?
Aghar:
Knowing that what Will Durant has said is true, I suggest that the West must
take the following steps to counter the threat that Muslims pose to its
independence, and to its people’s ways of life without further delay:
·
It must curtail the inflow of Muslims to its territory and should allow only
those Muslims to come to its shore who are willing to adapt themselves to the
secular lifestyle of its citizens.
·
It must not permit Muslims to build more mosques and religious seminaries on its
soil, as these are the institutions where Islamic Fundamentalism breeds and
where the minds of young Muslim children and youths are poisoned against the
Jews, Christians and the followers of other religions by the Islamic clerics.
·
The West must monitor the mosques to find out what the Muslim Imams say in their
Friday sermons together with watching what the Muslim children are taught in
their religious seminaries. Any Imam or religious teacher, who might be found
delivering hateful sermons or imparting hateful lessons to his or her students,
must be vigorously persecuted and punished.
·
Together with fighting the Muslim terrorists in places, like Iraq, Pakistan and
Saudi Arabia, the West must also ask the governments of all the Muslim countries
to stop their religious teachers from teaching hateful lessons to their
students. It must not hesitate to use its political and economic powers on the
Muslim governments, if they refuse to comply with its request.
The West has no option, but to succeed with the Muslim countries, if it wants to
contain the Muslim threat against it and its allies. Its failure will prove
catastrophic for the entire world – a prospect that neither the West, nor other
non-Muslim countries in the East and elsewhere will be able to contain without
great sacrifice of lives and destruction to their economies. The West,
therefore, must not rest until it has succeeded on this front.
FP: How can the West do these things
that you recommend and still remain a place that allows freedom of religion and
individual liberties?
Aghar:
In order to protect its citizens from Islamic terrorism and from the future risk
of being overrun by Muslims, all the West needs to do is to follow its own
existing rules and laws and bring about some changes to its thinking process.
Let me elaborate:
1.
Each country of the world has its own Visa Rules and it permits only those
persons to enter its territory it considers eligible. The West can easily check
the inflow of Muslims by being more careful at the time of issuing visas to
them.
2.
There are enough mosques and religious seminaries in the West to meet the needs
of its Muslim population. Since it is a proven fact that many Muslim Imams and
teachers have been using them to plant hatred of non-Muslims, particularly of
the Jews, Christians and the Polytheists, into the minds of the Muslim children
and young men and women, the West has the right not to grant permission for
building more of them and also to electronically monitor the existing ones for
the sake of its own people. Monitoring the Muslim Imams and teachers is not a
violation of religious rights of all Muslims, rather, it is a necessary step
(the doctrine of necessity applies here) that will also protect Muslims’ own
young from the influence of their rogue Imams and teachers.
Moreover, Islam permits surveillance of bad elements and Allah personally spied
on the enemies of Muhammad to protect him from their mischief. Allah admitted
this fact by saying in the Quran:
4:108: “They may hide (their crimes) from men, but they cannot hide (them) from
Allah, seeing that He {i.e. Allah} is in their midst when they plot by night, in
words that He cannot approve: and Allah doth compass round all they do.”
This should silence those Muslims who are likely to oppose the actions of their
host governments against their Imams and religious teachers, for when their
Allah could spy on Muhammad’s enemies, the law enforcers of the West can also do
the same in order to protect their people from the evil designs of their
enemies.
Additionally, freedom of religion and individual liberties are for those who
value them and respect them. You cannot protest the arrest of a known or
suspected criminal – religious or otherwise –, citing his or her religious
freedom or liberties, as letting him or her go free will be a dangerous act for
the society or the nation in which he or she lives. Therefore, in the matter of
religious terrorism, or religiously inspired incitement to kill the followers of
certain religions, the demand for religious freedom and individual liberties
should have no effect and the West should do what is necessary to protect its
citizens and their properties from those who are bent upon destroying them for
the advancement of their own religion.

(1) Who is our enemy? Is it mainly (or only) the Islamists/jihadists who plan
and carry out physical terror acts?
(2) Why don’t moderate Muslims forcefully oppose the Islamists? Aren’t they
opposed to them? Do moderate Muslims cooperate with us – or with them?
It has been pointed out regarding issue (1) that terror is just a tool, a short-
or long-term tactics of the Islamists, and one of many possible policy
alternatives. It can be used, or it can be dropped if the Islamic
decision-makers conclude that another strategy is better and that terrorism
starts to be counterproductive. So terror and terrorism is not the enemy but
just a tool among many. Naming what probably will be called World War IV in the
future, for “The war on terror “ is just an attempt to be tactical in the short
term: don’t irritate “normal” Muslims and be politically correct. However, it
plays into the hands of the enemies of the Western Civilisation if one doesn’t
talk straight about whom the enemy is. It also reflects a deep flaw in the
understanding of the Islamic doctrine. Instead of committing such errors, it is
necessary to clearly define which Muslims are the enemy.
The basic doctrine of Islam consists not only of the Quran but also of the
sunnah of Muhammed (the Ahadith and the sira). The religion contains both
peaceful and violent principles but the peaceful suras (from Mecca) are
generally abrogated by the later – and violent – ones from Medina. The small
number of peaceful maxims regarding non-Muslims (generally not valid because of
abrogation) are now used over and over again in the West in order to deceive
Europeans and Americans, while the real ruling principles are covered up. But
even the “peaceful” part of the Quran created by Muhammed in Mecca is generally
not peaceful. Quantitative research shows that e g about 2/3 of that part “deals
with condemning unbelievers to hell for merely disagreeing with Muhammed” (1).
What is then a “moderate” Muslim? It is necessary to understand the difference
between what a Muslim means with moderation and what an European or American
thinks the term stands for. It is reasonable to argue that a moderate Muslim is
one who wants to closely follow the quran and the examples and principles of the
perfect model of a man for all future and for all the world, i.e. Muhammed. And
any true Muslim naturally wants e g to implement sharia laws which are just
consequences of the quran and the sunnah. Such a person cannot in any sense be
described as an extreme Muslim.
So-called moderate Muslims in the West cannot pick and choose the parts of the
doctrine that they like. That is forbidden by the religion and doing so would
mean that they are not real Muslims in the traditional sense. There is also a
prohibition against personal interpretations of Islam. There are established
interpretations and principles regarding interpretation which were accepted many
centuries ago and are respected throughout the Muslim world. It is not permitted
to arrive at new conclusions which contradict the old ones and violate the rules
of interpretation. “Ijtihad” – interpretations not based on case law or past
precedent – have been forbidden since the 11th century and a moderate Muslim
must respect that. Innovation regarding religious principles is a very serious
crime in the Muslim world.
Sharia law is the practical application of the quran and the sunna, and a
moderate Muslim must accept these laws. Even if an European Muslim initially
doesn’t do that owing to a lack of knowledge of the quran and the sunnah
(evidently very common owing to a low educational level; that the clerics try to
conceal parts of the doctrine which may cause opposition also among Muslims
during a period when Muslims are still a minority in Europe a s o) he or she
will later accept also these theses. When shown that he has misunderstood and is
wrong about the doctrine according to the real, traditional Islam, a Muslim will
after a while accept that he has been misguided earlier and will then follow the
lead of the faithful interpreters of true Islam.
Many Muslims in the West now temporarily accept to follow the laws of the land
because they as a group constitute a smaller minority here. But when they grew
stronger in a country, their doctrine will force them to work for implementing
Muslim values and primarily, the sharia laws. It is evident that Muslims now
lacking in knowledge about Islam or believing in local liberal interpretations
with no special basis in the accepted doctrine, will be pushovers when
influenced by representatives of real, traditional Islam. The liberal Muslims
are just influenced by national/cultural reinterpretations of the doctrine which
were made a long time ago in order to create a society more harmonious and
easier to live in. But these interpretations are deviations and have no real
theoretical basis. They can only survive as long as nobody challenges them
energetically. Most moderate Muslims will certainly abandon them when shown
his/her errors regarding understanding Islam. They will then do what is demanded
of them as Muslims, and even if some will not like it, they will obey. The quran
itself (sura 2:216) states that even if you don’t like certain things, they
are/may be good for you. In that situation probably only a small minority will
withdraw from Islam in opposition. Open apostasy will be looked upon as an
option by a still smaller minority.
A moderate Muslim is not a reform-minded Muslim, who is willing to eliminate
some, many or all those principles of Islam that violate e g human rights. The
moderate Muslims already want – or will want after some religious re-education –
pretty much the same things as the Islamists. The main goal is then partial or
full implementation of sharia laws in Europe. Even if they now (for lack of
knowledge) object to certain parts of the sharia, they still prefer important
parts of it to man-made Western laws. And why shouldn’t they accept the sharia?
Then they can keep their superiority over women, which is so important for the
comfortable life of many Muslim males whose lifestyles just depend on the
exploitation of women. And it means that they can become rich without any
effort: the Western population can in the future be transformed into half-slaves
(dhimmis) and their property (slowly) taken over by those in power – Muslims.
The content of the sharia is mainly political; just a small part regards
religion as such (as a religion is defined in the West). The contents violate
human rights and accepted political principles in the West: secularism,
democracy etc (see 8.1.2 below). However, as discussed in Part 6, a moderate may
not find it a religious duty to implement the doctrine by force n o w in Europe
or the US as long as a correctly chosen Muslim leader for the Ummah doesn’t
exist (and who hasn’t proclaimed jihad in Europe). In that respect he is
different from an Islamist who works for an Islamist society by force now. But
the medium- or long-term goals of the moderate Muslim and the Islamist are
pretty much the same.
What a European means with the term “moderate Muslim” is very different from the
Muslim concept of moderation. The European basically means a “Reform(ed)”
Muslim. These brave persons still look at themselves as Muslims but they break a
myriad of the principles of the real, traditional Islam accepted by the
overwhelming majority of Muslims. In reality, the Reform Muslims create a new
religion which has few similarities to traditional Islam. Why it then should be
called Islam can be discussed but they proclaim themselves to be Muslims.
Depending on their arguments, that claim can be logically rejected or accepted.
They may be called “New” or “Reform” Muslims but they are surely not moderate
Muslims according to the established faith. That term doesn’t stand for a Muslim
with Western values regarding secularism, freedom, human rights, and democracy
with rules protecting minorities. And the New or Reform Muslims are still very
few.
So basically: what an American or European liberal or socialist means with the
term “moderate Muslim” is in reality a Muslim who disregards many of the most
important principles of his faith. These Westerners delude themselves regarding
the contents of Islam because they are scared of the consequences of the fact
that they cannot square the circle. An objective analysis can never reach the
conclusion that Islam is peaceful, tolerant and consistent with human rights.
The evidence seems to show that there are no important theological differences
between jihadists and so-called "peaceful" or "moderate" Muslims. It may be that
jihadists are just more faithful and more serious with regard to realising
islam. One religious obligation which every muslim must observe, is to realise
and institute the laws of islam if he is in such political position that he has
the power to do so. Some believers think that it is mandatory to work hard to
realise that situation. Moderates think that if muslims are not in power, there
is no special religious duty to work directly to reach it (unless a jihad has
been legally proclaimed). But probably many or most moderates want the muslims
to reach that kind of power so they can implement the sharia.
The traditional doctrine is the leading one in the muslim world. Local and more
moderate interpretations are now retreating in many countries probably because
communication and interaction is easy in the modern world, and therefore the
real, traditional islam can recover the initiative again from local and earlier
somewhat isolated variants of islam. The traditional faith can now control the
contents of the doctrine in various countries better. Because all four schools
of sunni islam agree on so many matters, this force is difficult to withstand
intellectually if one is a muslim.
It has been said that islam has been hijacked by terrorists. Even if that may be
the case in some instances where the terrorists really interpret the quoran in
too extreme a way, it is no reason at all to conclude that the judgment is true
in general. What seems to be true is instead that many - from the beginning
normal, peaceful and sound - persons are hijacked by islam and transformed into
fanatics and enemies of democracy, freedom and human rights. And some of these
persons may for many reasons develop into terrorists. But that transformation
doesn’t depend on the discovery of other tenets of islam but on psychological or
sociopsychological reasons, and the individual circumstances of the person in
question.
Because of the misery of their current life, an end to it and paradise may seem
preferable. A person may feel a greater fear of hell than others; or for young
sex-starved men, the free sex in paradise may seem more important than anything
else. Or the person takes the teaching that this life is of little importance
than the other more seriously and tries to reach the next faster – and dying in
jihad is the sure free ticket to paradise. Or he is a strict, serious and
logical person and makes reasonable conclusions on the basis of the quran,
hadiths and sunnah.
In many cases, a moderate muslim evidently has the same goals as the terrorists
but refuses to fight for them with a weapon in his hand and sacrifice himself in
battle (until jihad has been legally proclaimed). But that is no reason to make
a sharp differentiation between a moderate and an extreme muslim religion. The
final goals may be very similar, or even the same. It is also always necessary
to observe the possibility of taqiyya when listening to a so-called moderate.
Extremists find advantages in being labelled as moderates.
Without a reformed doctrine proclaiming distinctly and unequivocally different
theses which secure all human rights and eliminate the unacceptable parts of the
quran, the opinions of the moderates are not specially useful as a religious
basis. Opinions can be abandoned and may crumble fast if they come under serious
pressure from hardliners. No policies in western countries can be based on a
belief in the moderation of muslims without the existence of a clearly reformed
islamic doctrine. The survival of a nation: its human rights, political system,
culture and future cannot rest on such a weak hope.
Multiculturalism according to the common interpretation, multiculturalism in
practice means that all cultures and religions are equal. For the reasons given
above, that assertion is totally wrong. People are equal as human beings but the
opinions, culture and values of people have not the same worth. Opinions and
culture can generally be valued according to various criteria. Different
cultures – being value systems - are therefore not equal. From a political and
humanistic point–of-view, some of these systems are - just owing to their
positions concerning human rights - worthless in a western democracy as value
systems guiding the society regarding political issues.

According
to Dr. Daniel Pipes[1], Omar Ahmad, the long-serving chairman of CAIR, the
Council on American-Islamic Relations, reportedly told a crowd of California
Muslims in July 1998, “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith,
but to become dominant. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in
America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth.”
In 2005, three Dallas-area brothers were convicted of supporting terrorism by
funnelling money to a high-ranking official in the militant Palestinian group
Hamas. Ghassan and Bayan Elashi and their company were found guilty of all 21
federal counts they faced: conspiracy, money laundering and dealing in property
of a terrorist. Ghassan Elashi was the founder[2] of the Texas chapter of CAIR.
One would normally think that an organisation that has convicted terrorist
supporters among its members and whose leading members have stated a desire to
replace the US Constitution with sharia would be shunned by Western media and
political representatives. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.
In August 2006, a poll revealed that most Americans favor profiling of people
who look “Middle Eastern” for security screening at locations such as airports
and train stations. News wire Reuters[3] stated that the “civil rights and
advocacy organisation” CAIR protested against this. Ibrahim Hooper,
communications director for the CAIR, wanted Americans to solve the problem of
Islamic terrorism by cooperating with, well, people such as CAIR: “It’s one of
those things that makes people think they are doing something to protect
themselves when they’re not. They’re in fact producing more insecurity by
alienating the very people whose help is necessary in the war on terrorism,” he
said.
The Kentucky office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations has been
conducting ”sensitivity training”[4] for FBI agents in Lexington, examining
“common stereotypes of Islam and Muslims,” and ways in which to improve
interactions with the Muslim community.
Meanwhile, a survey revealed that 81% of Detroit Muslims[5] wanted sharia in
Muslim countries. Yehudit Barsky, an expert on terrorism at the American Jewish
Committee, warned that mainstream US Muslim organisations are heavily influenced
by Saudi-funded extremists. These “extremist organisations continue to claim the
mantle of leadership” over American Islam. Over 80 percent[6] of the mosques in
the United States “have been radicalised by Saudi money and influence,” Barsky
said.
The northern Virginia-based Muslim Students’ Association (MSA) might easily be
taken for a benign student[7] religious group. At a meeting in Queensborough
Community College in New York in March 2003, a guest speaker named Faheed
declared, “We reject the U.N., reject America, reject all law and order. Don’t
lobby Congress or protest because we don’t recognise Congress. The only
relationship you should have with America is to topple it ... Eventually there
will be a Muslim in the White House dictating the laws of Shariah.”
So, what happened to the famous “moderate Muslims” in all this? That’s a
question writer Robert Spencer[8] asks, too. Imam Siraj Wahaj is in great demand
as a speaker. In 1991, he even became the first Muslim to give an invocation to
the U.S. Congress.
However, he has also warned that the United States will fall unless it “accepts
the Islamic agenda.” He has lamented that “if only Muslims were clever
politically, they could take over the United States and replace its
constitutional government with a caliphate.” In the early 1990s he sponsored
talks by Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman in mosques in New York City and New Jersey;
Rahman was later convicted for conspiring to blow up the World Trade Center in
1993, and Wahaj was designated a “potential unindicted co-conspirator.”
Mr. Spencer notes that “The fact that someone who would like to see the [US]
Constitution replaced has led a prayer for those sworn to uphold it is just a
symptom a larger, ongoing problem: the government and media are avid to find
moderate Muslims -- and as their desperation has increased, their standards have
lowered.” The situation is complicated by many factors, including, taqiyya and
kitman: “These are Islamic doctrines of religious deception. They originated in
Shi’ite Islamic defences against Sunni Islam, but have their roots in the Qur’an
(3:28 and 16:106). Many radical Muslims today work hard to deceive unbelievers,
in line with Muhammad’s statement, “War is deceit.”
Professor Walid Phares[9] gives an explanation of such religious deception, part
and parcel of Jihad while Muslims are in a weaker position: “Al-Taqiya, from the
verb Ittaqu, means linguistically ‘dodge the threat’. Politically it means
simulate whatever status you need in order to win the war against the enemy.”
“According to Al-Taqiya, Muslims were granted the Shar’iya (legitimacy) to
infiltrate the Dar el-Harb (war zone), infiltrate the enemy’s cities and forums
and plant the seeds of discord and sedition.
“These agents were acting on behalf of the Muslim authority at war, and
therefore were not considered as lying or denouncing the tenets of Islam. They
were “legitimate” mujahedeen [holy warriors], whose mission was to undermine the
enemy’s resistance and level of mobilisation. One of their major objectives was
to cause a split among the enemy’s camp. In many instances, they convinced their
targeted audiences that Jihad is not aimed at them.”
This deception “has a civilisational, global dimension versus the narrow state
interest of the regular Western subversive methods.” “The uniqueness of today’s
Taqiya is its success within advanced and sophisticated societies. Taqiya is
winning massively because of the immense lack of knowledge among Western elites,
both Jewish and Christian.”
Youssef Mohamed E[10]., a 22-year-old Lebanese man, is one of two persons
suspected of trying to carry out bomb attacks on regional trains from Cologne,
Germany, in July 2006. His fellow students were stunned. They couldn’t imagine
how one of their fellow students could be a terrorist, a train bomber. He was a
“completely normal guy” said one of them. “He was friendly, polite,
inconspicuous,” and he never spoke ill of anyone. The publication of
caricatures[11] depicting the Prophet Mohammed was interpreted by Youssef as an
insult to Islam by the Western world, and triggered the attempted terror attack.
Muhammad Atta was named by the FBI as the pilot of American Airlines Flight 11,
the first plane to crash into the World Trade Center during the September 11,
2001 attacks. He was also a student in Germany, where he was described as quiet,
polite and inconspicuous. This strategy of using religious deception, smiling to
the infidels while plotting to kill them, has become a common feature of many
would-be Jihadists in the West.
According to Robert Spencer[12], secular clothing is actually in accord with
instructions in a captured Al-Qaeda manual to appear to be a secular,
assimilated Muslim with no interest in religion. In renting an apartment, “It is
preferable to rent these apartments using false names, appropriate cover, and
non-Moslem appearance.” And in general: “Have a general appearance that does not
indicate Islamic orientation (beard, toothpick, book, [long] shirt, small
Koran)....Be careful not to mention the brothers’ common expressions or show
their behaviours (special praying appearance, ‘may Allah reward you’, ‘peace be
on you’ while arriving and departing, etc.).”
Ambassadors to the Czech Republic[13] from Arab nations and members of the Czech
Muslim community were outraged by a documentary aired on ÄŒTV that used hidden
camera footage of conversations in a Prague mosque. The footage showed a
reporter pretending to be someone interested in converting to Islam. One of
members of the mosque said Islamic law should be implemented in the Czech
Republic, including the death penalty for adultery. “The result was alarming,
and if not for the hidden camera, I would have never had any of this footage,”
the journalist said.
An Arabic-speaking journalist had on several occasions visited a large mosque in
Stockholm, and noticed that what the imam said in his speech in Arabic didn’t
match the Swedish translation. “America rapes Islam,” imam Hassan Mousa roared
in Arabic. Minutes later the Swedish translation was ready. Not a word on how
America was raping Islam. Imam Mousa said that many Muslims call him an
“American friendly” preacher. The mistranslation was because “Arabic is a much
richer language than Swedish. It’s impossible to translate everything.”
Examples such as these leave non-Muslims with a very powerful dilemma: How can
we ever trust assurances from self-proclaimed moderate Muslims when deception of
non-Muslims is so widespread, and lying to infidels is an accepted and
established way of hiding Islamic goals? The answer, with all its difficult
implications, is: We can’t.
Does this mean that ALL Muslims are lying about their true agenda, all of the
time? No, of course not. Some are quite frank about their intentions.
Norway’s most controversial refugee, Mullah Krekar[14], has said in public that
there’s a war going on between the West and Islam, and that Islam will win.
“We’re the ones who will change you,” Krekar told. “Just look at the development
within Europe, where the number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitoes.”
“Every Western woman in the EU is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every
Muslim woman in the same countries is producing 3.5 children. By 2050, 30
percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim.” He claimed that “our way of
thinking... will prove more powerful than yours.” He loosely defined “Western
thinking” as formed by the values held by leaders of western or non-Islamic
nations. Its “materialism, egoism and wildness” has altered Christianity, Krekar
claimed.
In The Force of Reason, Italian
journalist and novelist Oriana Fallaci[15] recalls how, in 1972, she interviewed
the Palestinian terrorist George Habash, who told her that the Palestinian
problem was about far more than Israel. The Arab goal, Habash declared, was to
wage war “against Europe and America” and to ensure that henceforth “there would
be no peace for the West.” The Arabs, he informed her, would “advance step by
step. Millimetre by millimetre. Year after year. Decade after decade.
Determined, stubborn, patient. This is our strategy. A strategy that we shall
expand throughout the whole planet.”
Fallaci thought he was referring simply to terrorism. Only later did she realise
that he “also meant the cultural war, the demographic war, the religious war
waged by stealing a country from its citizens — In short, the war waged through
immigration, fertility, presumed pluriculturalism.”
The US State Department believes that Washington can contain the Muslim
Brotherhood and its ilk through dialogue[16] and should avoid any further clash
with them, because this “would only fan hatred and incite more attacks against
US interests.” The State Department has asked the US Embassy in Cairo to reach
out to the Muslim Brotherhood’s leaders as a preliminary step for an organised
dialogue.
At the same time, the new Brotherhood leader Muhammad Mahdi Othman ’Akef said in
2004 to Arab media that America is ‘Satan’ and “will soon collapse[17].” “I have
complete faith that Islam will invade Europe and America, because Islam has
logic and a mission.” Western authorities are thus trying to “reach out” to an
organisation that wants to conquer and subdue them.
Besides, exactly what does “dialogue” mean, anyway? Poul E. Andersen[18], former
dean of the church of Odense, Denmark, warns against false hopes of dialogue
with Muslims. During a debate at the University of Aarhus, Ahmad Akkari, one of
the Muslim participants, stated: “Islam has waged war where this was necessary
and dialogue where this was possible. A dialogue can thus only be viewed as part
of a missionary objective.”
When Mr. Andersen raised the issue of dialogue with the Muslim World League in
Denmark, the answer was: “To a Muslim, it is artificial to discuss Islam. In
fact, you view any discussion as an expression of Western thinking.” Andersen’s
conclusion was that for Islamists, any debate about religious issues is
impossible as a matter of principle. If Muslims engage in a dialogue or debate
on religious subjects, this is for one purpose only: To create more room for
Islam.
In Britain’s The Spectator, Patrick Sookhdeo[19] writes about the myth of
moderate Islam:
“The peaceable verses of the Koran are almost all earlier, dating from
Mohammed’s time in Mecca, while those which advocate war and violence are almost
all later, dating from after his flight to Medina. Though jihad has a variety of
meanings, including a spiritual struggle against sin, Mohammed’s own example
shows clearly that he frequently interpreted jihad as literal warfare and
himself ordered massacre, assassination and torture. From these sources the
Islamic scholars developed a detailed theology dividing the world into two
parts, Dar al-Harb and Dar al-Islam, with Muslims required to change Dar al-Harb
into Dar al-Islam either through warfare or da’wa (mission).”
“So the mantra ‘Islam is peace’ is almost 1,400 years out of date. It was only
for about 13 years that Islam was peace and nothing but peace. From 622 onwards
it became increasingly aggressive, albeit with periods of peaceful co-existence,
particularly in the colonial period, when the theology of war was not dominant.
For today’s radical Muslims — just as for the mediaeval jurists who developed
classical Islam — it would be truer to say ‘Islam is war.’”
What is a moderate Muslim? In 2003, the Associated Press touted as a
“moderate”[20] a cleric who told Saudi radio that terrorist attacks in his
capital violated “the sanctity of Ramadan.” Leading government cleric Sheikh
Saleh Al-Fawzan was a member of the Senior Council of Clerics, Saudi Arabia’s
highest religious body. He was also the author of the religious books used to
teach 5 million Saudi students, both within the country and in Saudi schools
abroad — including those in Washington, D.C. “Slavery is a part of Islam,” he
said in one tape, adding: “Slavery is part of jihad, and jihad will remain as
long there is Islam.” A moderate Muslim by Saudi standards is thus a person who
wants to reinstate slavery in the 21st century.
During his speech at the opening of the 10th Session of the Islamic Summit
Conference on Oct 16, 2003, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad[21] of Malaysia
stated that: “We are all Muslims. We are all oppressed. We are all being
humiliated.” “1.3 billion Muslims cannot be defeated by a few million Jews.
There must be a way.” “Today the Jews rule this world by proxy. They get others
to fight and die for them.”
“They invented and successfully promoted Socialism, Communism, human rights and
democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong, so they may enjoy
equal rights with others. With these they have now gained control of the most
powerful countries and they, this tiny community, have become a world power.”
Mahathir talked about how Muslims could win a “final victory,” and recalled the
glory days when “Europeans had to kneel at the feet of Muslim scholars in order
to access their own scholastic heritage.”
Farish Noor[22], a Malaysian scholar who specialises in politics and Islam, says
that the idea of a secular state is dead in Malaysia. “An Islamic society is
already on the cards. The question is what kind of Islamic society this will
be.” There is a creeping Islamisation of the country, and Islamic police
officers routinely arrest unmarried couples for “close proximity.” Yet despite
all of this, Malaysia is considered one of the most moderate Muslim majority
countries in the world. What does this tell us?
While NATO soldiers are risking their lives to establish a “democratic and
moderate” regime in Afghanistan, a former regional governor[23] who oversaw the
destruction of two massive 1,500-year-old Buddha statues during the Taliban’s
reign was elected to the Afghan parliament. Mawlawi Mohammed Islam Mohammadi was
the Taliban’s governor of Bamiyan province when the fifth-century Buddha statues
were blown up with dynamite and artillery in March 2001.
In the same, Western-supported, moderate Afghanistan, the police arrested six
people for stoning to death an Afghan women accused of adultery[24]. The arrests
were made after the interior ministry sent a delegation to a remote village in
north-eastern Badakhshan province following reports that the woman was stoned to
death. Were they arrested because stoning was barbaric? No. They were arrested
because they were carrying out an unauthorised stoning: The mullah who
authorised the killing was not a judge.
Ashram Choudhary, Muslim MP in New Zealand[25], will not condemn the traditional
Koran punishment of stoning to death some homosexuals and people who have
extra-marital affairs. But the Labour MP - who has struggled with his “role” as
the sole parliamentary representative of the local Muslim community — assures
that he is not advocating the practice in the West. The question is not just of
academic interest. A 23-year-old Tunisian woman was stoned to death near
Marseilles, France[26], in 2004.
Centre Democrat Ben Haddou[27], a member of Copenhagen’s City Council, has
stated: “It’s impossible to condemn sharia. And any secular Muslim who claims he
can is lying. Sharia also encompasses lifestyle, inheritance law, fasting and
bathing. Demanding that Muslims swear off sharia is a form of warfare against
them.”
Read that statement again, and read it carefully. Muslims in the West consider
it “a form of warfare against them” if they have to live by our secular laws,
not their religious laws. Will they then also react in violent ways to this
“warfare” if they don’t get their will? Moreover, since sharia laws ultimately
require the subjugation of non-Muslims, doesn’t “freedom of religion” for
Muslims essentially entail the freedom to make non-Muslims second-rate citizens
in their own countries?
Federal Treasurer Peter Costello[28] said Australian Muslim leaders need to
stand up and publicly denounce terrorism in all its forms. Mr. Costello has also
backed calls by Prime Minister John Howard for Islamic migrants to adopt
Australian values. Mr. Howard caused outrage in Australia’s Islamic community
when he said Muslims needed to speak English and show respect to women.
Hammasa Kohistani[29], the first Muslim to be crowned Miss England, warned that
“stereotyping” members of her community was leading some towards extremism.
“Even moderate Muslims are turning to terrorism to prove themselves. They think
they might as well support it because they are stereotyped anyway. It will take
a long time for communities to start mixing in more.”
So, if radical Muslims stage mass-murder attacks against non-Muslims, the
non-Muslims must not show any anger because of this, otherwise the moderate
Muslims may get insulted and become terrorists, too. Gee, isn’t it comforting to
know that there is such a sharp dividing line between moderates and radicals,
and that moderate Muslims have such an aptitude for self-criticism?
Unfortunately, Jihad-supporters are allowed to stifle Western defence
capabilities by feeding them Politically Correct propaganda. U.K. police
officers were given ”diversity training”[30] at an Islamic school southeast of
London, the private Jameah Islameah school in East Sussex, that later became the
center of a terrorism investigation. The county’s police officers visited the
school as many as 15 times for training to improve their awareness of Muslim
culture and for advanced training so they could themselves become diversity
trainers.
In August 2006, following the unveiling of a plot to blow up several airliners
between Britain and the USA, Muslim leaders summoned to talks with the
Government on tackling extremism made a series of demands, which included the
introduction of sharia law[31] for family matters. Dr Syed Aziz Pasha, secretary
general of the Union of Muslim Organisations of the UK and Ireland, said: ‘We
told her [the minister] if you give us religious rights, we will be in a better
position to convince young people that they are being treated equally along with
other citizens.’
As Charles Johnson[32] of blog Little Green Footballs dryly commented, this is
an interesting viewpoint: Only by receiving special treatment and instituting a
medieval religious legal code can Muslims be treated “equally.”
After the plot against the airliners was uncovered, a large number of UK Muslim
groups sent a letter with veiled threats[33] to PM Tony Blair, stating that “It
is our view that current British government policy risks putting civilians at
increased risk both in the UK and abroad,” and that the British should “change
our foreign policy,” in addition to allowing Muslims more sharia. The same thing
happened after the bombs in London in 2005.
If we watch closely, we will notice that Muslims are highly organised and have
prepared long lists of demands. Every act of terrorism, or Jihad as it really
is, is seen as an opportunity to push even greater demands. Radical Muslims and
moderate Muslims are allies, not adversaries. The radicals bomb, and the
moderates issue veiled threats that “unless we get our will, more such attacks
will ensue.” It’s a good cop, bad cop game.
It is true that Jihad is not exclusively about violence, but it is very much
about the constant threat of violence. Just like you don’t need to beat a donkey
all the time to make it go where you want it to, Muslims don’t have to hit
non-Muslims continuously. They bomb or kill every now and then, to make sure
that the infidels are always properly submissive and know who’s boss.
Sadly, they frequently tend to get their will, and the donkey, or as in this
case, the British, do what the Muslims want. A hospital in northwest England has
introduced a new surgical gown modelled on the burka[34], allowing female Muslim
patients to cover themselves completely. The blue “Inter-Faith Gown” is the
first of its type in Britain and has being tried out at the Royal Preston
Hospital.
Professor Moshe Sharon[35] teaches Islamic History at the Hebrew University,
Jerusalem. He gives this description of how a temporary truce, a hudna, is used
as an Islamic strategy against infidels:
“Peace in Islam can exist only within the Islamic world; peace can only be
between Moslem and Moslem.” “With the non-Moslem world or non-Moslem opponents,
there can be only one solution - a cease fire until Moslems can gain more power.
It is an eternal war until the end of days. Peace can only come if the Islamic
side wins. The two civilisations can only have periods of cease-fires.”
“A few weeks after the Oslo agreement was signed, [Palestinian leader] Arafat
went to Johannesburg, and in a mosque there he made a speech in which he
apologised, saying, “Do you think I signed something with the Jews which is
contrary to the rules of Islam?” Arafat continued, “That’s not so. I’m doing
exactly what the prophet Mohammed did.” “What Arafat was saying was, “Remember
the story of Hodaybiya.” The prophet had made an agreement there with the tribe
of Kuraish for 10 years. But then he trained 10,000 soldiers and within two
years marched on their city of Mecca. He, of course, found some kind of
pretext.”
I have earlier quoted how even Norwegian diplomat and United Nation’s envoy
Terje Röd-Larsen[36], a key player during the Oslo Peace Process in the 1990s,
later admitted that “Arafat lied all the time.”
The Arabs never wanted a peace with Israel. They wanted to buy time until they
were strong enough to win. The peace overtures by the Israelis were interpreted
as a sign of weakness. The so-called Treaty of Hudaybiyya, signed while Muhammad
and his supporters were not yet strong enough to conquer Mecca, has become a
standard for Islamic relations with non-Muslims ever since.
Sharon states that “Thus, in Islamic jurisdiction, it became a legal precedent
which states that you are only allowed to make peace for a maximum of 10 years.
Secondly, at the first instance that you are able, you must renew the jihad
[thus breaking the “peace” agreement].” “What makes Islam accept cease-fire?
Only one thing - when the enemy is too strong. It is a tactical choice.”
Furthermore, the Islamic world has not only the attitude of open war. There’s
also war by infiltration, as we can see in Western countries now. Is there a
possibility to end this dance of war? According to Moshe Sharon, the answer is,
“No. Not in the foreseeable future. What we can do is reach a situation where
for a few years we may have relative quiet.”
As Jihad Watch Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald says[37] of moderate
Muslims: “They are still people who call themselves Muslims, and we, the
Infidels, have no idea what this will cause them, or could cause them, to do in
the future. We likewise have no idea what their children, or their grandchildren
will see as their responsibility as Muslims. The “moderate” Muslim today may be
transformed into an “immoderate” Muslim, or his descendants could be if he does
not make a complete break and become an apostate. All over the West now we see
the phenomenon of Muslim children who are more devout and observant than their
parents.”
This is, unfortunately, very true. In November 2005, an intelligence study
obtained by Canada’s National Post[38] said that a “high percentage” of the
Canadian Muslims involved in extremist activities were home-grown and born in
Canada, a marked shift from the past when they were mostly refugees and
immigrants: “There does not appear to be a single process that leads to
extremism; the transformation is highly individual. Once this change has taken
place, such individuals move on to a series of activities, ranging from
propaganda and recruiting, to terrorist training and participation in extremist
operations.”
Hugh Fitzgerald wonders how many of our Muslim immigrants will be truly
moderate. How many of them “will turn out to be like Ayaan Hirsi Ali? One out of
20? One out of 100? One out of 1,000? One out of 100,000? How many of the men
will turn out to be like Magdi Allam in Italy, or like Bassam Tibi in Germany?
How many Ibn Warraqs and Ali Sinas, or converts to Christianity such as Walid
Shoebat, are there likely to be in any population of, say, 1000 Muslim
immigrants? Should the Western world admit a million immigrants, or permit them
to remain, because a few of them see the light?”
“Let Muslims remain within Dar al-Islam. Let the Infidels do everything they can
to first learn themselves, and then to show Muslims that they understand (so
that Muslims will then have to begin to recognise) that the political, economic,
social, intellectual, and moral failures of Islamic societies, both within Dar
al-Islam and in Dar al-Harb, are directly related to, and arise out of, Islam
itself.”
Youssef Ibrahim[39] of the New York Sun is tired of the silence from the Muslim
majority: “Hardly any Muslim groups, moderate or otherwise, voiced public
disapproval of [Dutch Islamic critic Theo] van Gogh’s murder except in the most
formulaic way.” “In Islam, “silence is a sign of acceptance,” as the Arabic
Koranic saying goes.” “The question that hangs in the air so spectacularly now —
particularly as England has been confronted once again by British Muslims
plotting to kill hundreds — is this: What exactly are the Europeans waiting for
before they round up all those Muslim warriors and their families and send them
back to where they came from?”
A just question, which increasing numbers of Europeans are asking, too. A big
part of the answer lies in the elaborate Eurabian, pro-Islamic networks that
have been built up by stealth over decades, and hardly ever debated by European
media. Besides, it’s embarrassing for Western political leaders, who have
championed multiculturalism for a long time, to admit that they have made a
terrible mistake that is now threatening the very survival of their countries.
It is possible that those Western countries where the infidels are strong enough
will copy the Benes Decrees from Czechoslovakia in 1946, when most of the
so-called Sudeten Germans, some 3.5 million people, had shown themselves to be a
dangerous fifth column without any loyalty to the state. The Czech government
thus expelled them from its land. As Hugh Fitzgerald of Jihad Watch has
demonstrated, there is a much better case for a Benes Decree for parts of the
Muslim population in the West now than there ever was for the Sudeten Germans.
The most civilised thing we can do in order to save ourselves as a civilisation,
but also to limit the loss of life among both Muslims and non-Muslims in what
increasingly looks like a world war, is for Westerners and indeed non-Muslims in
general to implement a policy of containment of the Islamic world, as suggested
by Mr. Fitzgerald. This includes completely stopping Muslim immigration, but
also by making our countries Islam-unfriendly, thus presenting the Muslims
already here between the options of adapting to our societies or leaving if they
desire sharia law. Even whispering about Jihad should be grounds for expulsion
and revoking citizenship.
I have compared Islam to the movie “The Matrix,” where people are turned into
slaves by living in a make-believe reality designed to keep them in chains. In
the movie, everybody who hasn’t been completely unplugged from this artificial
reality is potentially an agent for the system. I have gradually come to the
conclusion that this is the sanest way to view Muslims, too.
Some would argue that it is a crime and a betrayal of our own values to argue
for excluding Muslims from our countries or even expelling some of the ones who
are already here. I disagree. The relatively small number of Muslims we have in
the West now has already caused enormous damage to our economy, to our culture
and not the least to our freedoms. The real crime, and the real betrayal, would
be to sacrifice centuries of advances in human freedom as well as the future of
our children and grandchildren to appease Muslims who contribute virtually
nothing to our societies and are hostile to their very foundations.
As I have demonstrated above, it is perfectly accepted, and widely practiced, by
Jihadist Muslims to lie to non-Muslims about their true agenda. I have also
demonstrated that the relationship between radicals and so-called moderates is a
lot closer than we would like to think. At best, they share the goals of
establishing sharia around the world, and differ only over the means to achieve
this goal. At worst, they are allies in a good cop, bad cop game to extort
concession after concession from the infidels. Moreover, even those who
genuinely are moderate and secular in their approach may later change, or their
children may change. This can be triggered by almost anything, either something
in the news or a crisis in their personal lives, which will create a desire to
become a better, more pious Muslim. The few remaining moderates can easily be
silenced by violence from their more ruthless, radical counterparts.
At the end of the day, what counts isn’t the difference, if any, between
moderate Muslims and radical Muslims, but between Muslims and non-Muslims, and
between Muslims and ex-Muslims. Ibn Warraq says that there may be moderate
Muslims, but Islam itself is not moderate. He is probably right. As he writes in
the book Leaving Islam — Apostates Speak Out, a unique collection of
testimonials by former Muslims, ex-Muslims are the only ones who know what it’s
all about, and we would do well to listen to their Cassandra cries.

“I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike
off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.”
- The Koran, 8.12[1]
“Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been
made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)’” - Hadith
of Bukhari[2], Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220
“He who strikes terror into others is
himself in continual fear.” - Claudian, Roman poet
Occasionally I get annoyed over the fact that I am compelled to spend
significant amounts of my time refuting Islam, an ideology that is flawed to the
core and should be totally irrelevant in the 21st century. But then I try to see
it from a positive angle: The good part about our confrontation with Islam is
that it forces us to deal with flaws in our own civilisation. It has already
exposed a massive failure in our education system and our media, both filled
with anti-Western sentiments and ideological nonsense. These legacies from the
Western Cultural Revolution[3] of the 1960s and 70s have left us unable to
recognise the Islamic threat for what it is. Thus, when we are confronted now
with the question of whether or not Islam is compatible with democracy, we also
have to ask under what conditions a democratic system is able to function.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of a democratic system? What is “freedom”
and “liberty,” and does universal suffrage automatically equal liberty?
Democracy could briefly be defined as the ability of the people of a state or
political entity to genuinely influence the policies of their government by
non-violent means. However, this is abstract; we need a more detailed definition
to pin down the reality. In the Athenian city-state of ancient Greece, voting
rights included all citizens, perhaps one tenth of the population of the city.
Plato’s description of democracy in The Republic is close to anarchy. He rightly
points out some inherent weaknesses in the democratic model; no doubt influenced
by the fate of his teacher Socrates. Socrates made many enemies by criticising
those Athenians who, by means of cheap rhetoric, used democracy to gain power.
His courage in speaking out led to his trial, in which his accusers claimed that
he was corrupting the young. Found guilty, Socrates was sentenced to drinking
poison. This experience led Plato to conclude that Athens’ democracy was an
unjust form of government.
Plato envisioned a just government as one which was ruled by educated
philosophers or by a philosopher-king. In his famous “Myth of the Cave,” people
are chained in a cave with a fire behind them. When others pass in front of the
fire, they can see shadows on the cave wall, and falsely believe that these
shadows represent reality. According to Plato, the purpose of the ruler should
be to enlighten the masses and show them the truth behind these shadowy images.
In Politics[4], Aristotle, too, was critical of the democratic system. He
described the various models of ruling thus:
“Of forms of government in which one rules, we call that which regards the
common interests, monarchy; that in which more than one, but not many, rule,
aristocracy (and it is so called, either because the rulers are the best men, or
because they have at heart the best interests of the state and of the citizens).
But when the citizens at large administer the state for the common interest, the
government is called a polity. And there is a reason for this use of language.
“Of the above-mentioned forms, the perversions are as follows: of monarchy,
tyranny; of aristocracy, oligarchy; of polity, democracy. For tyranny is a kind
of monarchy which has in view the interest of the monarch only; oligarchy has in
view the interest of the wealthy; democracy, of the needy: none of them the
common good of all. Tyranny, as I was saying, is monarchy exercising the rule of
a master over the political society; oligarchy is when men of property have the
government in their hands; democracy, the opposite, when the indigent, and not
the men of property, are the rulers.”
Although the potential for abuse of power and tyranny is indeed there in the
democratic model, this potential exists in other forms of government, too. What
Plato failed to see was that it could be possible to institute constraints on
democracy that would limit some of its potential downsides, although not
eliminate them completely. The American Founding Fathers, too, were skeptical of
“democracy” in the meaning of unconstrained direct democracy, which they, like
Plato, perceived could quickly disintegrate into mob rule. They outlined a
constitutional Republic with indirect, representative democracy defined by a
constitution. Citizens would be governed by the rule of law, thus protecting the
minority from abuse and the potential tyranny of the majority. John Adams
defined this as “a government of laws, and not of men.”
The Constitution of the United States was inspired by the French Enlightenment
thinker Montesquieu, famous for his theory of the separation of powers into
branches: The executive, the legislature, and the judiciary, with checks and
balances among them. The USA has strong separation of powers, whereas many
European countries typically have parliamentary democracies with weaker
separation, since the executive branch, the government, is dependent on the
legislature. Democracy strengthened by such constraints and individual rights
has worked reasonably well, but like all other human inventions it isn’t
perfect. The system still has its critics. In How the West Was Lost[5],
author Alexander Boot outlines what he thinks ails the modern West. It is a
provocative book. I disagree with some of his criticism of post-Enlightenment
civilisation in general, but Boot is articulate and original; some of his points
about the nature of the modern state are worth contemplating.
For example, he says, “The word ‘democracy’ in both Greece and Rome had no one
man one vote implications and Plato used it in the meaning of ‘mob rule.’ The
American founding fathers never used it at all and neither did Lincoln. (…) a
freely voting French citizen or British subject of today has every aspect of his
life controlled, or at least monitored, by a central government in whose actions
he has little say. He meekly hands over half his income knowing the only result
of this transfer will be an increase in the state’s power to extort even more.
(...) He opens his paper to find yet again that the ‘democratic’ state has dealt
him a blow, be that of destroying his children’s education, raising his taxes,
devastating the army that protects him, closing his local hospital or letting
murderers go free. In short, if one defines liberty as a condition that best
enables the individual to exercise his freedom of choice, then democracy of
universal suffrage is remiss on that score.”
Boot also warns against the increasing prevalence of Politically Correct
censorship through hate speech laws: “Laws against racism are therefore not even
meant to punish criminal acts. They are on the books to reassert the power of
the state to control not just the citizens’ actions but, more important, their
thoughts and the words they use to get these across. (…) A state capable of
prosecuting one person for his thoughts is equally capable of prosecuting
thousands, and will predictably do so when it has consolidated its power enough
to get away with any outrage. (…) It is relatively safe to predict that, over
the next ten years, more and more people in Western Europe and North America
will be sent to prison not for something they have done, but for something they
have said.”
Lee Harris[6], the author of The Suicide of Reason, wonders what were the
necessary conditions for the growth of modern reason. This was the question
taken up by Johann Herder:
“What kind of culture was necessary in order to produce a critical thinker like
Immanuel Kant himself? When Kant, in his Critique of Pure Reason, methodically
demolished all the traditional proofs for the existence of God, why wasn’t he
torn limb from limb in the streets of Königsburg by outraged believers?”
Cynics would argue that they simply didn’t understand his eight hundred page
thesis, which isn’t exactly light reading, as those who have attempted to digest
his writings can testify. Although Kant had the freedom to do this in
18th-century Europe, he would probably have been killed had he attempted the
same thing in the Islamic world, which is one of the reasons why the Scientific
and Industrial Revolutions took place in the West, and not under Islam.
So how do we treat freethinkers asking sensitive questions in the 21st century
West? In my own country, the Ombud for Gender Equality recently became The
Equality and Anti-discrimination Ombud. Its duties include combating
“discriminatory speech” and negative statements about other cultures and
religions. If accused of such discrimination, one has to mount proof of
innocence. In effect, this institution is a secular or Multicultural
Inquisition: the renunciation of truth in favor of an ideological lie. Galileo
Galilei faced the same choice during the Inquisition four hundred years earlier.
The Multicultural Inquisition may not threaten to kill you, but it does threaten
to kill your career, and that goes a long way in achieving the same result,
whether your crime is claiming that the earth moves around the sun or that not
all cultures are equal.
Has liberty regressed during the past two hundred years? How was it possible
that Immanuel Kant, who lived in a German state without liberal democracy, could
criticise basic aspects of religion in the 18th century, while in the West of
the 21st century there are social and legal consequences for criticising other
religions and cultures? It is a mistake to assume that liberty (in the meaning
of freedom of speech and conscience) derives of necessity from a democracy of
universal suffrage. Do we need a new Enlightenment to fill the vacuum formed by
the fall of Political Correctness?
I have made a list of suggested conditions for a functioning democratic system:
·
There must be a demos. That is, there must be a group of people with a shared
pre-political loyalty. This common understanding would include mutual
identification and trust between leaders who implement policies and the general
public. There must be sanctions in place to allow the demos to hold accountable
or remove incompetent or corrupt officials. The growth of supranational
institutions has weakened the connections between the members of the elite and
the nation states they are supposed to serve. The demos has been attenuated by
both multiculturalism and mass immigration.
·
In the demos, there has to be true freedom of speech. There have to be genuine
debates about crucial issues. For a combination of reasons, this process is now
severely curtailed in many Western countries. Activists on the Left demand
formal and informal censorship of sensitive issues. Meanwhile, the media isn’t
functioning as a counterweight to the political elites because it frequently is
in lockstep with these elites.
·
In the demos, there should be no significant Muslim presence. Islam is toxic to
a democratic society for several reasons, which I will explore later. One is the
possibility of physical attack against anybody who criticises the Islamic
agenda. The fear thus engendered destroys any possibility of a free, civil
public discourse. Another is the resentment generated by Muslim demands for
separate laws and “special treatment,” demands which are driven by an inherent
sense of entitlement. Finally, there is the harassment of non-Muslims, even
those who do not criticise Islam. This aggressive behaviour is always part and
parcel of Jihad.
·
The territorial entity where the demos lives must control its own borders. A
nation that fails to discriminate between citizens and non-citizens, between
members and non-members of the demos, will cease to function.
What is disturbing about this list is that in the West - particularly Western
Europe - few of these conditions remain. We are no longer citizens; we are
subjects, mere spectators to destinies others have chosen for us. We are
citizens only if we have genuine influence over how our tax money is spent. We
are subjects when we just pay taxes while others decide what to do with this
money.
The control of borders and the sovereignty of nation states are linked to the
list above. Democratic decisions are meaningless if they can be overruled by an
external authority. This notion of sovereignty is being challenged all over the
Western world both through the United Nations and through the ascendence of
international law. Sovereignty is clearly not present in much of Europe, where
seventy percent or more of all laws passed are federal EU laws. Democratically
elected national parliaments have been reduced to insignificance. It is thus
possible to argue that Western European countries are no longer distinct
democracies, nor are they part of the “Free World” in any meaningful sense.
Europeans thus have universal suffrage, but we don’t have genuine democracy and
we certainly don’t have true liberty.
Why is the European Union not democratic? One element is
its sheer size; another is the massive bureaucracy that has grown up around it.
As F.A. Hayek writes in The Road to Serfdom[7]:
“Least of all shall we preserve democracy or foster its growth if all the power
and most of the decisions rest with an organisation far too big for the common
man to survey or comprehend. Nowhere has democracy ever worked well without a
great measure of local self-government, providing a school of political training
for the people at large as much as for their future leaders. It is only where
responsibility can be learnt and practised in affairs with which most people are
familiar, where it is awareness of one’s neighbour rather than some theoretical
knowledge of the needs of other people which guides action, that the ordinary
man can take a real part in public affairs because they concern the world he
knows. Where the scope of the political measures becomes so large that the
necessary knowledge is almost exclusively possessed by the bureaucracy, the
creative impulses of the private person must flag.”
It can’t all be about size, since the system has worked
somewhat better in the United States. The most important reason for this
democratic deficit in Europe is the lack of any formal constraints on the power
of leading EU organs. In 2006[8], for the twelfth
year in a row the European Court of Auditors, the EU’s official financial
watchdog, refused to approve the EU budget because it was so full of fraud and
errors[9]. Half the project budgets approved by
the European Commission were inadequately monitored.
This story of fraudulence was largely ignored by Europe’s
media. The powerful European Commission is the EU’s “government,” and thus the
government of nearly half a billion people from Hungary to Britain and from
Finland to Spain, yet it can release accounts with massive flaws for over a
decade straight. Such lack of oversight would have been unthinkable in the USA.
The EU Commission gets away with it because it is largely unaccountable to
anyone and was intentionally structured to operate this way in the first place.
Just like the Politburo of the former Soviet Union, the EU Commission is not
subject to any real checks and balances.
It is obviously easier to establish democracy in a small
and transparent nation state than in a larger one. However, Sweden - the Western
country where people pay the highest tax rates - is also arguably the most
politically repressed nation and has the least real freedom of speech. Sweden’s
problem is not its geographical size, but the bloated state apparatus. Perhaps
limitations on bureaucracy, government influence and intrusion are crucial for a
functioning democracy, too. In a traditional pre-modern state, the ruler might
not always have ruled with your consent, but he largely left you alone as long
as you paid your taxes. Not so in our modern democratic nations. Our schools are
increasingly filled with courses disparaging our own indigenous cultural
heritage while they praise Islamic “tolerance.” We are barred from bringing up
our own children and instilling in them our values. Is this liberty?
Øystein Djupedal[10],
former Minister of Education and Research in Norway’s Socialist Leftist Party,
stated in public that: “I think that it’s simply a mistaken view of
child-rearing to believe that parents are the best to raise children. Children
need a village, said Hillary Clinton. But we don’t have that. The village of our
time is the kindergarten.” Following public reactions, he later retracted this
statement. Critics would claim that the government treats the entire country as
a kindergarten. The Ministry of Education and Research in Norway is responsible
for nursery education, primary and lower secondary education, day-care
facilities for school children, upper secondary education and institutions of
higher education such as universities. In other words, one bureaucracy controls
everything Norwegians learn from kindergarten through the doctoral level.
There is a crucial reason why the European Union isn’t
democratic: There is no European demos. Most people in Europe identify
themselves as Italian, Spanish, Dutch or Polish. The notion of being a European
is at best a very distant second. In contrast, United States citizens consider
themselves Americans, although multiculturalism encourages dual identities, in
which individuals are African-American, Asian-American etc. This tribalisation
represents a critical long-term challenge to the continued quality of American
democracy. It is conceivable that the backlash could cause the country to fall
apart if the white majority, too, decides to view itself as a tribal group of
European-Americans. Mr. Carl I. Hagen[11] of the
right-wing Progress Party criticised the choice of a foreign citizen to head
Norway’s immigration agency. Eva Joly, a Norwegian born French magistrate, known
in France for her crusade against corruption, disagreed with Hagen: “To assume
that nationality or citizenship have anything to do with being suitable [for a
job] is a very old-fashioned way of thinking. We are no longer thinking in
national terms, but in European or global terms. It is a duty to employ people
from other countries,” said Joly. She has been granted both Norwegian and French
citizenship, but considers herself European.
When we elect people to important positions, we want them
to take care of our interests, not ephemeral “global interests.” How can we rely
on the people entrusted to work for us if they openly state that they don’t feel
any loyalty towards our country? According to British philosopher Roger Scruton,
members of our liberal elite may be immune to xenophobia, but there is an equal
fault which they exhibit in abundance, which is oikophobia, the repudiation and
fear of home.
In his book The West and the Rest: Globalization and
the Terrorist Threat, Scruton believes that what characterises the West is
our idea of the personal state[12]:
“The personal state is characterised by a constitution, by a rule of law, and by
a rotation of office-holders. Its decisions are collectively arrived at by a
process that may not be wholly democratic, but which nevertheless includes every
citizen and provides the means whereby each citizen can adopt the outcome as his
own. Personal states have an inherent preference for negotiation over compulsion
and for peace over war. [The personal state] is answerable to its citizens, and
its decisions can be imputed to them not least because they, as citizens,
participate in the political process.”
For this democratic process to work there has to be a
loyalty and identity that precedes political allegiance. We must have a
community that has primary common interests. This has no real counterpart in
Islamic countries, where the ideal is the global Ummah and the Caliphate.
Concepts such as the nation state or territorial integrity have no equivalent in
Islamic jurisprudence, which helps explain why democracy is so hard to establish
in Muslim countries.
Scruton notes, however, that the Western personal state
is now under pressure from two directions. Supranational institutions are
destroying the sense of membership from above, while massive immigration without
assimilation is destroying it from below. The European Union, among others, “is
rapidly destroying the territorial jurisdictions and national loyalties that
have, since the Enlightenment, formed the basis of European legitimacy, while
putting no new form of membership in their place.” And although it makes sense
for individuals travelling from Third World countries to settle in the West,
they may thus unwittingly contribute to destroying what they came to enjoy the
benefits of in the first place:
“The political and economic advantages that lead people to seek asylum in the
West are the result of territorial jurisdiction. Yet territorial jurisdictions
can survive only if borders are controlled. Transnational legislation, acting
together with the culture of repudiation, is therefore rapidly undermining the
conditions that make Western freedoms durable.”
Scruton comments that for the first time in centuries
Islam appears to be “a single religious movement united around a single goal,”
and that “one major factor in producing this unwonted unity is Western
civilisation and the process of globalisation that it has set in motion.”
According to him, this is a result of “Western prosperity, Western legal
systems, Western forms of banking, and Western communications that human
initiatives now reach so easily across frontiers to affect the lives and
aspirations of people all over the globe.”
Thus we have the irony in which “Western civilisation
depends on an idea of citizenship that is not global at all, but rooted in
territorial jurisdiction and national loyalty.” By contrast, Islam, which has
been until recently remote from the Western world, is founded on an ideal “which
is entirely global in its significance.” Globalisation, therefore, “offers
militant Islam the opportunity that it has lacked since the Ottoman retreat from
central Europe.” It has brought into existence “a true Islamic umma, which
identifies itself across borders in terms of a global form of legitimacy, and
which attaches itself like a parasite to global institutions and techniques that
are the by-products of Western democracy.”
Scruton raises some difficult questions: Does
globalisation make it easier for Muslims to realise the idea of a global Islamic
community, which has always been an ideal but far from a practical reality? Does
it also put pressure on the territorial integrity of coherent nation states? If
so, does globalisation strengthen Islam while it weakens Western democracy?
These questions are difficult to think about, but for the sake of survival we
need to ask them and find an honest answer.
Globalisation doesn’t necessarily mean that Islam will
win. In the long run, it is quite possible that mass communications and the
exposure to criticism will destroy Islam, but it could ironically make it more
dangerous in the short term.
Is Islam compatible with democracy? Justice Minister Piet
Hein Donner[13] strongly disagrees with a plea for
a ban on parties seeking to launch Islamic law in the Netherlands. “For me it is
clear: if two-thirds of the Dutch population should want to introduce the sharia
tomorrow, then the possibility should exist.”
This dilemma can be solved by stating the following: Our
goal is not democracy in itself, meaning elections and one man one vote, but
freedom of conscience and speech, respect for property rights and minorities,
the right to bear arms and self-defence, equality before the law and the rule of
law - and by that I mean secular law - in addition to such principles as formal
constraints on the power of the rulers and the consent of the people. Free
elections may be a means of achieving this end, but it is not the end in itself.
We shouldn’t confuse the tools with the primary goal.
Two central concepts in sharia are the notions of
“blasphemy” and “apostasy,” both incurring the death penalty. These laws are
incompatible with the ancient Western ideas of freedom of conscience and of
speech. Thus, sharia is anathema to the goals of democracy. Sharia is also
hostile to equality before the law, since Islamic law is based on the
fundamental inequality between Muslims and non-Muslims, men and women, free men
and slaves. Moreover, it does not provide any protection for minorities, since
non-Muslims are supposed to be unarmed and their lives and property subject to
the whims of Muslims at any given moment. Although Islam does contain the vague
Koranic notion of shura, consultation, this has never been formalised or
concretised, which means that there are no formal constraints on the power of
the ruler under sharia. The only thing an Islamic ruler may not do is openly to
reject Islam.
According to Salim Mansur[14],
associate professor of political science at the University of Western Ontario,
Canada, “Democracy is in a cultural sense an expression of the liberal modern
world that situates the individual as the moral center of politics and society.
(…) It is the idea of the inalienable rights located in the individual, rights
that need to be protected, nurtured, and allowed the fullest unhindered
expression that makes democracy so morally distinctive from other cultural
systems. From this liberal perspective, the common error about democracy is to
view it as a majority system of governance. In a democracy based on individual
rights, on the contrary, it is the protection of the rights of minorities and
dissidents that reflect the different nature of politics within the larger
context of democratic culture.”
This definition is opposed to an illiberal democracy,
which is “similar to what Samuel E. Finer, a professor of politics and
government, wrote about in Comparative Government as ‘façade democracy,’ a
bowing of the head to the idea of democracy by the tiny elite of those in power
as a means to enhance their legitimacy and perpetuate their authority.”
One great obstacle to establishing democracy in this
cultural sense in Muslim countries is that Muslims have been taught from birth
that non-Muslims can’t be expected to enjoy the same kind of rights as Muslims
do.
The Wall Street Journal ran a piece[15]
entitled “Reviving Mideastern Democracy: We Arabs Need the West’s Help to Usher
in a New Liberal Age.” It was written by Saad Eddin Ibrahim, chairman of the
board of the Ibn Khaldun Center for Development Studies in Cairo, who has been
jailed several times for his pro-democracy work in Egypt. Mr. Ibrahim thinks the
prospects for democracy in the Middle East are surprisingly good:
“In previous decades, authoritative voices said that Germany, Japan, Slavic
countries and even Catholic societies would never, could never, be democratic. I
am not speaking of popular prejudices here, but of high-level scholarship and
expert consensus. Batteries of learned naysayers honestly believed that there
was something about German, Japanese or Slavic culture, or about Catholicism,
that was fundamentally and unchangeably hostile to democracy and democratic
values. . . .”
But in the words of the celebrated 14th century historian
Ibn Khaldun himself: “in the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty,
because of the universalism of the Muslim mission and (the obligation to)
convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force.” In Islam, says Ibn
Khaldun, the person in charge of religious affairs is concerned with “power
politics,” because Islam is “under obligation to gain power over other nations”
(Muqaddimah[16], trans. Rosenthal, p. 183).
As Robert Spencer commented, “Those are not words of
openness, tolerance, and democracy. And they are still widely held in the Muslim
world.”
Ibn Khaldun wrote about Christians: “We do not think that
we should blacken the pages of this book [Muqaddimah] with discussion of their
[Christian] dogmas of unbelief. In general, they are well known. All of them are
unbelief. This is clearly stated in the noble Koran. To discuss or argue those
things with them is not up to us. It is for them to choose between conversion to
Islam, payment of the poll tax, or death.”
According to Dr. Andrew Bostom in his book The Legacy
of Jihad (page 29), “In The Laws of Islamic Governance al-Mawardi (d. 1058),
also examines the regulations pertaining to the lands and infidel (i.e.,
non-Muslim) populations subjugated by jihad. This is the origin of the system of
dhimmitude. The native infidel population had to recognise Islamic ownership of
their land, submit to Islamic law, and accept payment of the poll tax (jizya).
Al-Mawardi highlights the most significant aspect of this consensus view of the
jizya in classical Islamic jurisprudence: the critical connection between jihad
and payment of the jizya. He notes that “[t]he enemy makes a payment in return
for peace and reconciliation.” Al-Mawardi then distinguishes two cases: (1)
Payment is made immediately and is treated like booty, however “it does,
however, not prevent a jihad being carried out against them in the future” (2)
Payment is made yearly and will “constitute an ongoing tribute by which their
security is established.” Reconciliation and security last as long as the
payment is made. If the payment ceases, then the jihad resumes.”
There are also other limitations on dhimmis. In 2005[17]
it was announced that the first Christian church in Qatar since the 7th century
was to be built on land donated by the reform-minded Emir. The church will not
have a spire or freestanding cross, in accordance with traditional dhimmi laws
where Christians are forbidden to display crosses. Clive Handford, the
Nicosia-based Anglican Bishop in Cyprus and the Gulf, said: “We are there as
guests in a Muslim country and we wish to be sensitive to our hosts ... but once
you’re inside the gates it will be quite obvious that you are in a Christian
center.” Christianity was eradicated from most Gulf Arab states within a few
centuries of the arrival of Islam.
Even in Malaysia[18], one
Muslim majority country frequently hailed as “moderate and tolerant,” hundreds
of Hindu worshippers watched in horror as workers, mostly Muslims, brought down
the roof of their temple and smashed the deities that immigrant Indian workers
had brought with them. “We are poor and our only comfort is our temples and now
we are losing that also,” Kanagamah said in Tamil, the language spoken by ethnic
Indians who form eight percent of Malaysia’s 26 million people and mostly follow
Hinduism.
“The demolitions are indiscriminate, unlawful and against
all constitutional guarantees of freedom of worship,” according to human rights
lawyer P. Uthayakumar. He said temples are demolished by the authorities as
illegal structures but the same authorities make it impossible for devotees to
get a permit. He cited the case of a Catholic church nearby which got a permit
to build a church after 30 years of trying. “What does this say about freedom of
worship?” he asked. Well, it says that Muslim authorities are still operating
according to the classic provision of the dhimmi laws, that non-Muslims must not
build new houses of worship or repair old ones.
According to Sita Ram Goel[18],
Imam Hanifa “had recommended that Hindus, though idolaters, could be accepted as
a ‘People of the Book’ like the Jews, the Christians and the Zoroastrians, and
granted the status of zimmis. The Muslim swordsmen and theologians in India
happened to follow his school of Islamic law. That enabled them to ‘upgrade’ the
‘crow-faced infidels’ of this country to the status of zimmis. Hindus could save
their lives and some of their properties, though not their honour and places of
worship and pilgrimage, by paying jizyah and agreeing to live under highly
discriminative disabilities. The only choice which the other great Imams of
Islam - Malik, Shafii and Hanbal [the founders of the four Sunni Islamic schools
of jurisprudence] - gave to the Hindus was between Islam and death.”
From Western apologists we often hear that the “communal
strife” on the Indian subcontinent is “mutual.” If this is the case, why is it
that in Pakistan non-Muslims have been all but wiped out, and the few remaining
Christians and Hindus suffer continuous harassment and abuse? The population of
Bangladesh[19] was about thirty percent non-Muslim
a few decades ago. Now that number is down to ten percent. Contrast this decline
with the fact, due to higher birthrates, the number of Muslims within the
Republic of India has actually increased during the same period. Do these
statistics indicate “mutual hostility” or simply persecution of infidels?
In Pakistan’s Sindh province there is an alarming trend:
Muslims kidnap Pakistani Hindu girls[20] and force
them to convert to Islam. The worried resident Hindu community has resorted to
marrying off their daughters as soon as they are of age. Alternatively, they
migrate to India, Canada or other nations. Recently, at least 19 such abductions
have occurred in Karachi alone.
“Have you ever heard of an Indian Muslim girl being
forced to embrace Hinduism[21]? It’s Muslims
winning by intimidation. It’s Muslims overcoming a culture by threatening it, by
abducting young girls so that an entire community moves out or succumbs to the
Muslim murderers,” human rights activist Hina Jillani says. Hindus and
Christians in Pakistan are looked down upon. “That is why they have to take up
inferior jobs; their chances of rising in any field are low.”
The Muslim superiority syndrome runs deep. In
Milestones[22], the Egyptian Sayyid Qutb
writes about “a triumphant state which should remain fixed in the Believer’s
heart” in the face of everything. “It means to feel superior to others when
weak, few and poor, as well as when strong, many and rich.”
“When the Believer scans whatever man, ancient or modern,
has known, and compares it with his own law and system, he realises that all
this is like the playthings of children or the searchings of blind men in
comparison with the perfect system and the complete law of Islam. And when he
looks from his height at erring mankind with compassion and sympathy at its
helplessness and error, he finds nothing in his heart except a sense of triumph
over error and nonsense. (…) Conditions change, the Muslim loses his physical
power and is conquered, yet the consciousness does not depart from him that he
is the most superior. If he remains a Believer, he looks upon his conqueror from
a superior position. He remains certain that this is a temporary condition which
will pass away and that faith will turn the tide from which there is no escape.”
Underlying this Muslim supremacist mentality, there is
also the idea of Arab supremacy. Again according to Qutb[23],
“What are the Arabs without Islam? What is the ideology that they gave, or they
can give to humanity if they abandon Islam? The only ideology the Arabs advanced
for mankind was the Islamic faith which raised them to the position of human
leadership. If they forsake it they will no longer have any function or role to
play in human history.”
Of course, there are those who would dismiss Sayyid Qutb
as “an extremist,” since his writings such as Milestones and especially
In the Shade of the Qur’an[24] have inspired
countless Jihadists since his execution at the hands of Gamal Abdel Nasser’s
regime in 1966. But Qutb’s ideas about Muslim supremacy are on firm Islamic
grounds.
According to Hugh Fitzgerald[25],
“within Islam, a supposedly universalist religion where all Muslims in the ummah
are equal, there is a special place for the Arabs.” The Koran is written in
Arabic, and “was delivered to, given to, revealed to, the Arabs, that best of
people. That best of men, Muhammad, was an Arab, and so were the Companions. The
Qur’an itself should ideally not be read in any language other than Arabic (the
Arabic in which it was written, not in any simplified or updated version).
Qur’anic recitation is in Arabic. The students in Pakistan or Indonesia or
elsewhere who pass their young lives memorising Qur’anic passages are
essentially memorising Arabic, a language that they do not know at all, or
understand most imperfectly. Yet it is 7th century Arabs, real or imaginary, who
must serve as a guide to existence. (…) In Saudi Arabia there is apartheid: the
signs ‘Muslim’ and ‘Non-Muslim’ are everywhere. But ‘Muslims’ are further
divided into Arab (first class) and non-Arab (second class). This has not
escaped the attention of the many Muslim non-Arabs who live in Saudi Arabia - or
at least not the attention of all of them.”
This Arab supremacy is underestimated by infidels as a
weapon against Islam: “Part of weakening Islam is to show many Muslims that
Islam was simply an Arab invention and export, a poisoned chalice that has lain
low higher, and superior civilisations. This is likely to resonate especially in
Iran among those who have had their fill of the Islamic Republic of Iran - that
is, every thinking and morally aware person in Iran.”
In Morocco, activists complain that Berber influence[26]
in political and economic life remains limited. “We’re not Arabs, bring out the
real history,” chanted hundreds of Moroccan Berbers during Labour Day marches
with slogans in their Tamazight language and banners written in Tifinagh, the
Berber script. Berbers are the original inhabitants of North Africa, before the
Arabs invaded in the seventh century. The Moroccan constitution says the country
is Arab and Islam is its religion. The proportion of Berbers is not officially
known but independent sources say they represent the majority of the population.
The total population of Berbers in the world is estimated at twenty-five
million, mainly concentrated in Algeria, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and
Tunisia.
Islamic ideas about inequality are already being exported
to the West. Two men were killed in a row involving a group of second generation
immigrants in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2005. According to imam Abu Laban[27]
(who was later responsible for whipping up hatred against his country of
residence because of the now famous cartoons of Muhammad in Danish newspaper
Jyllands-Posten) the thirst for revenge could be cooled if 200,000 kroner were
paid by the family of the man who fired the shots. 200,000 Danish kroner is
approximately the value of 100 camels, a number based on the example of Muhammad
himself. The idea of blood money originates from the Koran, 2.178: O ye who
believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the murdered; the
freeman for the freeman, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the
female. And for him who is forgiven somewhat by his (injured) brother,
prosecution according to usage and payment unto him in kindness.
Politiken, a left-leaning, intellectual newspaper
championing multiculturalism in Denmark, argued that the principle of blood
money might be worth considering. Luckily, they were met by an outcry from angry
citizens. There are at least two major problems with this Islamic “justice.” The
first is that it is settled between families, tribes or clans, not in a justice
system administered by the authorities where it is a matter concerning the
individuals involved, not the entire clan. We had similar tribal vendettas in
the West at one time, but we left this practice behind a long time ago, as
Muslims should have done. The biggest problem will come if this tribal system
were to undermine the Western justice system to the extent that Westerners, too,
would revert to tribal law in order to protect themselves.
Many commentators in Denmark failed to understand the
worst part of the blood money concept. Not only is it pre-modern and
anti-individualistic, but the compensation to be paid is fundamentally
inegalitarian. Muslim men are the only full members of the Islamic community.
All others have fewer rights due to their religion, their sex or their slave
status.
The rates for blood money mirror this apartheid system. A
Saudi court has ruled that the value of one woman’s life is equal to that of one
man’s leg. The court ordered a Saudi to pay a Syrian expatriate blood money
after he killed the man’s wife and severed both his legs in a car accident six
months earlier. The court ordered $13,300 compensation for the man’s wife, and
the same amount for each of his legs. Under Islamic law, the life of an
ex-Muslim is worth nothing at all. He is a traitor, an apostate, and can be
killed with impunity.
In the April 9, 2002 issue, The Wall Street Journal
published the concept of blood money in Saudi Arabia. If a person has been
killed or caused to die by another, the latter has to pay blood money or
compensation as follows:
·
100,000 riyals if the victim is a Muslim man
·
50,000 riyals if a Muslim woman
·
50,000 riyals if a Christian man
·
25,000 riyals if a Christian woman
·
6,666 riyals if a Hindu man
·
3,333 riyals if a Hindu woman
In a Saudi school textbook[28],
after the intolerance was supposedly removed, the 10th-grade text on
jurisprudence said: “Blood money for a free infidel. [Its quantity] is half of
the blood money for a male Muslim, whether or not he is ‘of the book’ or not ‘of
the book’ (such as a pagan, Zoroastrian, etc).
“Blood money for a woman: Half of the blood money for a
man, in accordance with his religion. The blood money for a Muslim woman is half
of the blood money for a male Muslim, and the blood money for an infidel woman
is half of the blood money for a male infidel.”
As Ali Sina says[29],
“According to this hierarchy, a Muslim man’s life is worth 33 times that of a
Hindu woman. This hierarchy is based on the Islamic definition of human rights
and is rooted in the Quran and Sharia (Islamic law). How can we talk of
democracy when the concept of equality in Islam is inexistent?”
He thinks that the Islamic system of government is akin
to Fascism:
·
It is marked by centralisation of authority under a supreme leader vested with
divine clout.
·
It has stringent socioeconomic control over all aspects of all its subjects
irrespective of their faith.
·
It suppresses its opposition through terror and censorship.
·
It has a policy of belligerence towards non-believers.
·
It practices religious apartheid.
·
It disdains reason.
·
It is imperialistic.
·
It is oppressive.
·
It is dictatorial and
·
It is controlling.
According to Sina, “Islam is political and political
Islam is Fascism.”
At Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada[30],
Muslims are displaying their superiority syndrome.
The largest student group on campus, the Muslim Students’
Association, has monopolised use of the multifaith room. Eric Da Silva,
president of the Catholic Student Association, said the group looked into using
the room for mass but was told by RSU front desk staff that the room was
“permanently booked” by Muslim students. “No one is trying to take away the
space from the Muslims, we just don’t want to be stepping on their toes,” said
Da Silva. He stressed that the group found another space to hold mass and the
conflict was quickly resolved. The space, which was divided to separate males
from females, had rows taped on the floor for prayer and Islamic decorations
adorning the walls, was only accommodating to Muslims. A Canadian Federation of
Students task force tackling cultural and religious discrimination was brought
to campus by members of the MSA, but it only addressed the problem of
Islamophobia.
Raymond Ibrahim[31], a
research librarian at the US Library of Congress, warns in the Los Angeles Times
against giving in to Muslim supremacists:
“In the days before Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to the Hagia Sophia complex in
Istanbul, Muslims and Turks expressed fear, apprehension and rage. ‘The risk,’
according to Turkey’s independent newspaper Vatan, ‘is that Benedict will send
Turkey’s Muslims and much of the Islamic world into paroxysms of fury if there
is any perception that the pope is trying to re-appropriate a Christian center
that fell to Muslims.’ Apparently making the sign of the cross or any other
gesture of Christian worship in Hagia Sophia constitutes such a sacrilege. Built
in the 6th century, Hagia Sophia - Greek for Holy Wisdom’ - was Christendom’s
greatest and most celebrated church. After parrying centuries of jihadi thrusts
from Arabs, Constantinople - now Istanbul - was finally sacked by Turks in 1453,
and Hagia Sophia’s crosses were desecrated, its icons defaced.”
The Turks didn’t have to worry. The Pope behaved in
perfect dhimmi fashion during his visit to the formerly Greek, Christian
territory now known as Turkey. Ibrahim believes that “The West constantly goes
out of its way to confirm such convictions. By criticising itself, apologising
and offering concessions - all things the Islamic world has yet to do - the West
reaffirms that Islam has a privileged status in the world.”
This blindness to the threat posed by the ingrained
Islamic Superiority Syndrome has huge consequences when trying to export
“democracy” to Islamic countries such as Iraq.
In September 2005, the patriarch of Baghdad for the
Chaldeans[32] told Iraqi officials about Catholic
bishops’ fears that the constitution “opens the door widely” to discrimination
against non-Muslims. Article 2.1(a) stated: “No law can be passed that
contradicts the undisputed rules of Islam.” The bishops’ statement concluded:
“This opens the door widely to passing laws that are unjust towards
non-Muslims.” Glyn Ford, British MEP, joined former Tribune editor Mark Seddon
and Andy Darmoo, head of Save the Assyrians, to sound the alarm on behalf of
Assyrian Christians[33]: “Prevented from voting in
the elections, in recent months many have had their land occupied and stolen,
their churches firebombed and their families attacked. Isn’t it time that the
international community began championing the rights of Assyrians and other
minorities before it is too late?”
A group of Muslim men seized a seven year old Mandaean
boy[34], from an ancient Gnostic sect in Iraq,
doused him in petrol and set him alight. As the child was being burnt to death
the Muslims were running around shouting, “Burn the dirty infidel!” “Many women
physicians have been killed, women in the police forces, reporters and
journalists,” Rajaa al-Khuzai, president of the Iraqi National Council of Women
said. Now “women are very easy targets,” especially high-profile women such as
herself, she added. This oppression of women and non-Muslims is in full
accordance with Islamic sharia and was depressingly predictable.
Although Christians made up less than four per cent of
the population they formed the largest groups of refugees arriving in Jordan’s
capital Amman in the first quarter of 2006. In Syria, forty-four percent of
Iraqi asylum-seekers were recorded as Christian since December 2003. They were
fleeing killings, kidnappings and death threats. “In the schools the children
now say that a Christian is a kaffir [infidel].” The Catholic bishop of Baghdad,
Andreos Abouna, was quoted as saying that half of all Iraqi Christians have fled
the country since the 2003 US-led invasion. Some warned that in twenty years all
Christians in Iraq will be gone[35]. “It was easy
for the Americans and the British to have supported us when the churches were
bombed - it was a historic opportunity - but they did nothing. If they had
supported us financially, for example, we could have protected all the Christian
families in Mosul.”
U.S. President George W. Bush[36]
said he would accept it if Iraqis voted to create an Islamic fundamentalist
government in democratic elections. “I will be disappointed, but democracy is
democracy.”
Is it really equivalent, Mr. Bush?
This brings us back to Plato’s criticism of democracy as
just an advanced form of mob rule. And without any constraints, checks and
balances, that definition is correct. Benjamin Franklin said that “Democracy is
two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed
lamb contesting the vote!” This is why he and the other Founding Fathers wanted
the USA to be a constitutional Republic, not a pure democracy.
It is strange that the United States wanted to export to
Iraq a naïve concept of democracy, one that provided too few rights and
guarantees for individuals and minorities, one that their own Founding Fathers
had specifically rejected for precisely that reason. And this did not even
include an assessment of Islam, in which harassing and persecuting minorities
and suppressing individual liberty is a matter of principle.
Non-Muslims and women in Iraq are now paying with their
lives[37] for that naïve mistake.
In his Islamic Declaration from 1970, where he demanded a
fully-fundamentalist Muslim state, future Bosnian president Alija Izetbegovic[38]
wrote that “A Muslim generally does not exist as an individual. If he wishes to
live and survive as a Muslim, he must create an environment, a community, an
order. He must change the world or be changed himself. History knows of no true
Islamic movement which was not at the same time a political movement as well.”
The late American scholar of Islam, Franz Rosenthal, said
that an individual Muslim “was expected to consider subordination of his own
freedom to the beliefs, morality and customs of the group as the only proper
course of behaviour. (…) The individual was not expected to exercise any free
choice as to how he wished to be governed. In general, governmental authority
admitted of no participation of the individual as such, who therefore did not
possess any real freedom vis-à-vis it.”
Iranian ex-Muslim Ali Sina[39]
states that “Deindividuation is characterised by diminished awareness of self
and individuality. In Islam individuality is denied and the individual’s life is
fused with that of Umma. Deindividuation reduces an individual’s self-restraint
and normative regulation of behaviour. It contributes to the collective
behaviour of violent crowds, mindless hooligans, and the lynch mobs.” According
to him, “Ironically it is the brutality and the repressive nature of Islam, in
conjunction with its absolute irrationality that has made this doctrine
successful and has allowed it to survive this long.”
But as the esteemed writer F.A. Hayek wrote in his
classic The Road to Serfdom:
“What our generation is in danger of forgetting is not only that morals are of
necessity a phenomenon of individual conduct, but also that they can exist only
in the sphere in which the individual is free to decide for himself and called
upon voluntarily to sacrifice personal advantage to the observance of a moral
rule. Outside the sphere of individual responsibility there is neither goodness
nor badness, neither opportunity for moral merit nor the chance of proving one’s
conviction by sacrificing one’s desires to what one thinks right. Only where we
ourselves are responsible for our own interests and are free to sacrifice them,
has our decision moral value. Neither good intentions nor efficiency of
organisation can preserve decency in a system in which personal freedom and
individual responsibility are destroyed.”
A British police report[40]
concluded that complaints of misconduct and corruption against Muslim officers
occur ten times more frequently than against their non-Muslim colleagues. The
report argued that since British Pakistanis live in a cash culture in which
“assisting your extended family is considered a duty” and in an environment in
which large amounts of money are loaned between relatives and friends, police
officers of Pakistani origin needed special anti-corruption training.
Only a small percentage of Pakistani citizens, and those
of many other Muslim countries, actually pay taxes. There is a philosophy that
ascribes no value to the individual; the clan is everything; the state is the
enemy. This mentality underlies the behaviour of the immigrants from these
countries as they migrate, bringing with them to non-Muslim countries the
corruption and tribal violence associated with this world view.
As Ali Sina[41] says:
“Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali, (1058 - 1111 CE) is arguably the
greatest Islamic scholar ever. In his book ‘Incoherence of the Philosophers’ he
bitterly denounced Aristotle, Plato, Socrates and other Greek thinkers as
non-believers and labeled those who employed their methods and ideas as
corrupters of the Islamic faith. He took aim at Avicenna [Ibn Sina, highly
influential 11th century Persian physician and philosopher] for being a
rationalist who drew intellectually upon the Ancient Greeks. By emphasising on
the incompatibility of faith and reason, and by asserting the futility of making
faith subordinate to reason, Ghazali gave validity to unreasoned faith and thus
glorified stupidity.
“The Islamic rationalists such as Mutazilis placed reason
above revelation. But their school was vehemently opposed by more fervent
Islamists and became extinct. They were attacked by a group called Ashariyya to
which al-Ghazali and the celebrated poet [Jalal ad-Din or Mawlana] Rumi
belonged. Rumi mocked the rationalists and in a catchy verse that left its mark
on the psyche of the gullible masses said the rationalists stand on ‘wooden
legs.’”
Sina believes[42] that
“Freedom of speech, freedom of beliefs, respect for the rights of the minority
and separation of religion from government are the foundations of democracy.”
The West should insist on freedom of religion and freedom of speech both at home
and abroad. “People must be allowed to criticise the views of the majority
without fearing for their lives. There can’t be democracy without freedom of
expression and without opposition. Before taking democracy to Islamic countries,
let us save our own democracy at home.”
According to another ex-Muslim, Ibn Warraq[43],
“Islam is a totalitarian ideology that aims to control the religious, social and
political life of mankind in all its aspects - the life of its followers without
qualification, and the life of those who follow the so-called tolerated
religions to a degree that prevents their activities from getting in the way of
Islam in any manner. And I mean Islam. I do not accept some spurious distinction
between Islam and ‘Islamic fundamentalism’ or ‘Islamic terrorism.’ Given the
totalitarian nature of Islamic law, Islam does not value the individual, who has
to be sacrificed for the sake of the Islamic community. Collectivism has a
special sanctity under Islam.”
The reason why many former Muslims such as Ali Sina and
Ibn Warraq write under pseudonyms is that in a religion that is so hostile to
both individuality and freedom of speech, there is no worse crime for a Muslim
than to exercise both by criticising and leaving Islam. Apostasy bears the
penalty of death. In the book Leaving Islam - Apostates Speak Out[44],
a unique anthology by former Muslims, Ibn Warraq writes that (p. 31):
“However, apostasy is a matter of treason and ideological treachery, which
originates from hostility and hypocrisy. The destiny of a person who has an
inborn handicap is different from the destiny of one whose hand should be cut
off due to the development of a dangerous and infectious disease. The apostasy
of a Muslim individual whose parents have also been Muslim is a very infectious,
dangerous and incurable disease that appears in the body of an ummah (people)
and threatens people’s lives, and that is why this rotten limb should be
severed.”
The death penalty for apostasy from Islam is firmly
rooted in Islamic texts - certainly in the hadith, but arguably also in the
Koran. The Koran 4:89 states:
“They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you
might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly
(their homes) in Allah’s way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill
them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.”
Ibn Kathir’s (d. 1373) venerated tafsir (Koran
commentary) on this verse concurs with the view that 4:89 sanctions killing
apostates, maintaining that as the unbelievers have manifested their unbelief,
they should be punished by death. The death penalty is virtually beyond debate
in the hadith. For example, in the most respected hadith collections of Bukhari,
Muhammad is reported to have said “Kill him who changes his religion.”
According to Dr. Andrew G. Bostom, there is also a
consensus by all four schools[45] of Sunni Islamic
jurisprudence (i.e., Maliki, Hanbali, Hanafi, and Shafi’i), as well as Shi’ite
jurists, that apostates from Islam must be put to death. Averroes, or Ibn Rushd
(d. 1198), the renowned Aristotelian philosopher and scholar of the natural
sciences, who was also an important Maliki jurist in medieval Spain, provided
this typical Muslim legal opinion on the punishment for apostasy (vol. 2, p.
552):
“An apostate…is to be executed by agreement in the case of a man, because of the
words of the Prophet, ‘Slay those who change their din [religion]’…Asking the
apostate to repent was stipulated as a condition…prior to his execution.”
This is not just a matter of medieval jurisprudence. The
1991 Shafi’i manual of Islamic Law ‘Umdat al-Salik, endorsed by the Islamic
Research Academy at Al-Azhar, the most prestigious centre of learning in Sunni
Islam, states:
“Leaving Islam is the ugliest form of unbelief (kufr) and the worst…When a
person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostasises from Islam,
he deserves to be killed. In such a case, it is obligatory…to ask him to repent
and return to Islam. If he does it is accepted from him, but if he refuses, he
is immediately killed.”
In 2003, the Egyptian author Dr. Nawal Al-Sa’dawi[46],
known for her fervent Arab nationalism and feminism, called for amending the
Egyptian constitution and eliminating the article that declares Islam to be the
official state religion, ‘because we have among us Copts [Egyptian Christians],
and because religion is a matter between man and God and no one has the right to
impose his faith, his God and his rituals on others.” She also said that she
believes in a political and military struggle against[47]
the U.S. and Israel.
The reactions to Sa’dawi’s statements were mixed, but Dr.
Abd Al-Mun’im Al-Berri, former head of The Front of Al-Azhar Clerics, explained
that “we should ask her to repent within three days, but if she persists with
these ideas, she should be punished according to what the Islamic Shari’a
[religious law] determined for those who abandon Islam. The ruler, meaning the
head of state or government, should carry out the punishment.” Sheikh Mustafa
Al-Azhari explained that “the punishment for anyone who fights Allah and His
Prophet is execution, crucifixion, the amputation of opposite limbs or
banishment from earth.”
Daveed Gartenstein-Ross[48]
states that “Though official proceedings against those who reject Islam are
fairly rare - in part, no doubt, because most keep their conversion a closely
held secret - apostasy is punishable by death in Afghanistan, Comoros, Iran,
Mauritania, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Yemen. It is also illegal in
Jordan, Kuwait, Malaysia, the Maldives, Oman, and Qatar. (…) The greatest threat
to apostates in the Muslim world derives not from the state, however, but from
private individuals who take punishment into their own hands. In Bangladesh, for
example, a native-born Muslim-turned-Christian evangelist was stabbed to death
in the spring of 2003 while returning home from a film version of the Gospel of
Luke. As another Bangladeshi apostate told the U.S. Newswire, ‘If a Muslim
converts to Christianity, now he cannot live in this country. It is not safe.
The fundamentalism is increasing more and more.’”
In Britain in 2004, Prince Charles[49]
brokered efforts to end the Muslim death penalty on
converts to other faiths by holding a private summit of Christian and Muslim
leaders. The Muslim group cautioned the prince and other non-Muslims against
speaking publicly on the issue. A member of the Christian group said that he was
“very, very unhappy” about the outcome. Patrick Sookhdeo, the international
director of the Barnabas Fund which campaigns on behalf of persecuted Christians
abroad, urged the prince and Muslim leaders in Britain to criticise openly the
traditional Islamic law on apostasy, calling for it to be abolished throughout
the world. According to Sookhdeo, “one of the fundamental notions of a secular
society is the moral importance of freedom, of individual choice. But in Islam,
choice is not allowable: there cannot be free choice about whether to choose or
reject any of the fundamental aspects of the religion, because they are all
divinely ordained. God has laid down the law, and man must obey.”
In the London Times, Anthony Browne[50]
wrote about Mr Hussein, a 39-year-old hospital nurse in Bradford, one of a
growing number of former Muslims in the West who face not just being shunned by
family and community, but attacked, kidnapped, and in some cases killed. One
estimate suggests that as many as 15 per cent of Muslims in Western societies
have lost their faith. Mr Hussein told “It’s been absolutely appalling. This is
England - where I was born and raised. You would never imagine Christians would
suffer in such a way.” The police have not charged anyone, but told him to leave
the area.
Anwar Sheikh, a former mosque teacher from Pakistan,
became an atheist after coming to Britain, and lived with a special alarm in his
house in Cardiff after criticising Islam in a series of hardline books. “I’ve
had 18 fatwas against me. They telephone me - they aren’t foolhardy enough to
put it in writing. I had a call a couple of weeks ago. They mean repent or be
hanged,” he said. “What I have written, I believe and I will not take it back. I
will suffer the consequences. If that is the price, I will pay it.” Anwar Sheikh
died peacefully in his home in Wales in November 2006.
Aluma Dankowitz[51],
director of the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) Reform Project,
writes about how the accusation against Muslims - particularly intellectuals,
artists, and writers - of “unbelief” (an accusation known as “takfir”) recurs in
the Muslim world. The traditional punishment for an apostate (murtadd) is
capital punishment, which was implemented on a large scale in the period
following the death of the Prophet Muhammad, when Muhammad’s successor Abu Bakr
fought the ridda wars against the tribes that abandoned Islam.
Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawi, one of the most prominent
clerics in Sunni Islam today, draws a distinction between two types of apostasy
(ridda): “Limited ridda is the ridda of the individual who switches religion and
is not interested in others. According to Islam, the punishment for this
individual is [Hell] in the world to come. But [the other] ridda, which expands
[from the individual to the group], is a ridda in which the individual who
abandons Islam calls [upon others] to do likewise, [thus creating] a group whose
path is not the path of society and whose goal is not the goal of the [Muslim]
nation, and whose allegiance is not to the Islamic nation. Such [individuals]
endanger the social fabric, and they are like the murtaddoon [apostates], who
were fought by [the first Caliph] Abu Bakr together with the Companions of the
Prophet.”
In other words, those who publicly leave Islam constitute
a threat to the morale of the Islamic community, just like soldiers defecting
from an army, and must thus be punished before a mass-defection sets in.
Al-Qaradhawi agrees with the traditional treatment of Muslims who leave their
religion: “For Muslim society to preserve its existence, it must struggle
against ridda from every source and in all forms, and it must not let it spread
like wildfire in a field of thorns. Thus, the Muslim sages agreed that the
punishment for the murtadd [who commits ridda] is execution.”
There is enormous social pressure in Muslim countries
against expressing any kind of doubts about the Islamic religion. Razi Azmi[52],
one of the more sensible columnists of Pakistan’s Daily Times Online newspaper,
has mentioned the issue in an op-ed:
“For a moment, let us imagine a reverse scenario, a Muslim converting, say, to
Christianity or, Heaven forbid, Hinduism or Buddhism, in a Muslim country. It
defies imagination. There is unanimity among clerics from the various Islamic
schools of thought that the penalty for an apostate (murtid) is death, the only
disagreement being whether the execution should occur instantly or after the
murtid has been given an opportunity to recant and return to the fold of Islam.
So sure is the punishment and so strong the attendant social and family
pressures that it is unthinkable for Muslims ever to openly question any aspect
of their religion, let alone convert to another or to practice agnosticism or
atheism.”
Islam’s hostility towards freedom of speech does not
apply only to Muslims, but to anybody saying anything remotely critical of
Islam, including non-Muslims. Muslims are already busy trying to shut down
freedom of speech in Western nations through legal harassment and, increasingly,
physical intimidation.
Mohammed Bouyeri[53], born
in Amsterdam of Moroccan Berber parents, murdered Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh,
who had recently made a film critical of Islam together with the Dutch-Somali
former Muslim Ayaan Hirsi Ali, on the morning of Nov. 2, 2004. As Mr. van Gogh
cycled to work in Amsterdam, the bearded young man in a long
Middle-Eastern-style shirt fired at him with a handgun, chased him, shot him
once more, slit his throat from ear to ear and plunged two knives, one with a
five-page letter attached, into the body. “I did what I did purely out my
beliefs,” Bouyeri told judges while clutching a Koran, because he believed van
Gogh insulted Islam.
Orientalist Hans Jansen[54]
of Leiden University in The Netherlands has written an analysis of the letter[55]
which Mohammed Bouyeri left on the body of Theo van Gogh. As he points out, “MP
Ayaan Hirsi Ali (or any other MP) is not eager to die for her membership of
Parliament. Muslims such as Mohammed B. on the other hand are eager to shed
their life for what they view as the good cause, which possibly gives Islam a
tactical - strategic advantage in conflicts with others. That those who do not
believe in heavenly compensation of martyrdom rather not become martyrs is a
true statement and certainly relevant in Islam’s fight against the non-Muslims.”
A study from 2006[56] found
that forty percent of the Moroccan youth in the Netherlands rejected Western
values and democracy. Six to seven percent were prepared to use force to defend
Islam. The majority were opposed to freedom of speech for offensive statements,
particularly criticism of Islam. Similar numbers could no doubt be found among
Muslims in other Western countries.
This kind of intimidation has taken its toll. In November
2006, publisher Scholastic Australia pulled the plug on the book the Army of
the Pure[57] after booksellers said they would
not stock the adventure thriller for youngsters because the “baddie” was a
Muslim terrorist. Because two characters were Arabic-speaking and the plot
involves a mujaheddin extremist group, Scholastic’s decision was based “100 per
cent (on) the Muslim issue.”
This decision was at odds with the publication of Richard
Flanagan’s bestselling The Unknown Terrorist and Andrew McGahan’s
Underground in which terrorists are portrayed as victims driven to extreme
acts by the failings of the West. The Unknown Terrorist describes Jesus
Christ as “history’s first ... suicide bomber.” In McGahan’s Underground,
Muslims are executed or herded into ghettos in an Australia rendered
unrecognisable by the war on terror.
The Syrian-born poet Ali Ahmad Sa’id, known by his
pseudonym Adonis[58], says that “If the Arabs are
so inept that they cannot be democratic by themselves, they can never be
democratic through the intervention of others. If we want to be democratic, we
must be so by ourselves.”
According to Adonis, the underlying structure of Arab
societies is a structure of slavery, not of liberty: “Some human beings are
afraid of freedom. When you are free, you have to face reality, the world in its
entirety. You have to deal with the world’s problems, with everything. On the
other hand, if we are slaves, we can be content and not have to deal with
anything. Just as Allah solves all our problems, the dictator will solve all our
problems.”
This is undoubtedly true, and this fear of freedom is not
exclusive to Muslims. As philosopher Eric Hoffer writes in The True Believer:
“Freedom aggravates at least as much as it alleviates frustration. Freedom of
choice places the whole blame of failure on the shoulders of the individual. And
as freedom encourages a multiplicity of attempts, it unavoidably multiplies
failure and frustration. (…) We join a mass movement to escape individual
responsibility, or, in the words of the ardent young Nazi, ‘to be free from
freedom.’ It was not sheer hypocrisy when the rank-and-file Nazis declared
themselves not guilty of all the enormities they had committed. They considered
themselves cheated and maligned when made to shoulder responsibility for obeying
orders. Had they not joined the Nazi movement in order to be free from
responsibility?”
According to Adonis, “The Muslims today - forgive me for
saying this - with their accepted interpretation [of the religious text], are
the first to destroy Islam, whereas those who criticise the Muslims - the
non-believers, the infidels, as they call them - are the ones who perceive in
Islam the vitality that could adapt it to life. These infidels serve Islam
better than the believers.”
I’m not sure I agree with that. Although fear of freedom
may be a universal human trait, it does seem to be more prevalent in Islamic
societies than in others. Does this “slave mentality” that Mr. Adonis complains
about partly originate from Islam itself?
Ibn Arabi (d. 1240), the “Greatest Sufi Master,” defined
hurriyya, freedom, as “perfect slavery” to Allah. The mainstream Islamic website
Islam Q & A[59] defines the meaning of enslavement
in Islam:
“If by ‘slave’ I mean al-’aabid, one who worships Allaah and obeys His commands,
this meaning applies specifically to the believers to the exclusion of the
kaafireen [infidels], because the believers are the true slaves of Allaah who
attribute Lordship and Divinity to Him Alone and recognise Him by His Names and
Attributes, and do not associate anything with Him. Enslavement to Allaah is an
honour, not a cause of humiliation. We ask Allaah to make us among His righteous
slaves.”
If Muslims are “slaves of Allah,” it is tempting to view
ex-Muslims as runaway slaves, who are to be hunted down and punished for their
desire for freedom, just as real slaves were in the old days.
Dr. Younus Shaikh[60],
Pakistani Rationalist and the founder President of the Rationalist organisation
of Pakistan, was once sentenced for blasphemy, a crime that leads to a mandatory
death sentence in Pakistan, for claiming that Muhammad did not become a Muslim
until the age of 40 and received his first revelations in 610, and that his
parents were non-Muslims because they died before Islam existed. He was later
acquitted following international pressure, and now lives in exile in
Switzerland.
According to Dr. Shaikh, “Islam is an organised crime
against humanity!” Those may be harsh words, but it should be his right to say
it. As Mr. Adonis states, “There can be no living culture in the world if you
cannot criticise its foundations - the religion.” This means that Muslims must
first accept criticism of their religion before they can have any hope of
establishing free societies.
Freedom of speech is one of the most fundamental of all
freedoms; it is necessary for a functioning democratic society. The Islamic
world will never know true liberty until Muslim individuals may openly criticise
their religion and even leave it without having to fear for their lives. This
freedom must be established not just in Switzerland or the United States, but in
Pakistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia. That vision of liberty so far remains a mirage
in the distance.
Trying to prove that Islam is compatible with democracy,
many Muslims are forced to twist existing Islamic concepts so that they cease to
retain their original meaning. What remains can hardly be justified from a
straight-forward reading of the Koran or the hadith.
Muhammad Al-Mukhtar Ash-Shinqiti[61],
director of the Islamic Center in Texas, states: “Another important value is
checks and balances by which powers are distributed and separated in a way that
achieves independence of each power and the ability to check and correct each
other. In Qur’anic terminology, this is called al-mudafa’ah, which is a
very important Islamic concept that protects the society against corruption.
Almighty Allah says, ‘Had not Allah checked one set of people by means of
another, the earth would indeed be full of mischief.’” (The Koran, 2:251).”
But this idea of setting one group of people against
another bears little relation to the Western concept of formal checks and
balances as enshrined in the US Constitution. Protection against “corruption” in
this context means excluding non-Islamic influences, not preventing the abuse of
power.
Another such concept is shura, usually translated as
“consultation,” which is found in the Koran 42:38, “...who (conduct) their
affairs by mutual consultation...” and “… consult them in affairs (of
moment)...,” 3:159. According to Ja’far Sheikh Idris[62],
professor of Islamic studies in Washington, “broadly understood, democracy is
almost identical with Shura.”
However, shura has never been formalised. The most
authoritarian and brutal of rulers, such as Stalin or Mao, probably “consulted”
somebody every now and then. Even Genghis Khan “consulted” someone as he
massacred half of Asia. Thus, “consultation” by itself is meaningless. As long
as there are not formal constraints on the ruler forcing him to take the good of
the people into account, and as long as real sanctions are not in place if he
fails to do so, “consultation” is empty rhetoric.
Sunni Muslims talk about the four Rightly Guided Caliphs,
Abu Bakr, Umar ibn al-Khattab, Uthman ibn Affan and Ali ibn Abi Talib, all of
whom had known Muhammad personally. Their rule ended with the murder of Ali in
661. Then the nominal leadership of Islam was transferred from Medina to the
Umayyid dynasty in Damascus. In 750 the Abbasid dynasty in Baghdad assumed the
Caliphate, where it endured until 1258, when the Mongols sacked Baghdad. The
Caliphate as a concept still persisted for centuries, although the Caliphs
usually possessed no practical power. Finally, even the concept itself was
formally abolished in 1924 by the Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal
Atatürk.
In an essay in newspaper The Guardian[63],
spokesman Osama Saeed from the Muslim Association of Britain advocated
recreating the institution, claiming that a “restored caliphate is entirely
compatible” with democratically accountable institutions:
“The vision of any kind of new caliphate, shared by Muslims worldwide, is a
distant one. Right now, even talk of bringing down trade barriers and free flow
of people across Muslim states seems radical. But it is a vision that is needed,
and one that should actually be supported by the US and Britain if they are
sincere about the development of the Muslim world. The revival of a strong
Muslim civilisation would be for the betterment of the whole world.”
Irfan Husain[64] countered
Saeed’s essay in Pakistani newspaper Dawn. He pointed out some glaring
omissions:
“For starters, who would decide on a suitable candidate? What does an Indonesian
have in common with a Turk, apart from faith? The truth is that religion is only
one aspect of an individual’s identity. Other equally important factors include
language, ethnicity, socio-economic status, education, and a whole slew of
layers that compose identity. To assume that just because somebody is born a
Muslim, he will automatically obey a distant figure who calls himself the caliph
is to ignore just how tenuous the authority of most of the past caliphs actually
was.”
The Christian Science Monitor[65]
interviewed a group of followers of Hizb ut-Tahrir, the Party of Liberation, in
Jordan. They say that a single Islamic state from Indonesia to Morocco will
bring prosperity and let Muslims conquer the West. “Islam obliges Muslims to
possess power so that they can intimidate - I would not say terrorise - the
enemies of Islam,” says Abu Mohammed, a Hizb ut-Tahrir activist. “And if after
all discussions and negotiations they still refuse, then the last resort will be
a jihad to spread the spirit of Islam and the rule of Islam,” he says, smiling.
“This is done in the interests of all people to get them out of darkness and
into light.”
One of the speakers, Ashraf Doureihi, at a conference in
Sydney, Australia[66], in January 2007, stressed
the importance of establishing an Islamic state:
“It is important... [to move] collectively in the Muslim
world to demand this change from such influential people in our lands, even if
it means spilling onto the streets to create a revolution or staging a military
coup,” he said. According to Hizb ut-Tahrir spokesman Wasim Durie, the
conference would discuss ways of establishing an Islamic superstate. “As we were
here today, what is at stake is not just the destiny of the Muslim world but
indeed the whole of mankind,” he said. Despite open calls for civil war, the
Australian Government refused to ban[67] the
group.
It is easy to dismiss these ideas as marginal, but, as
Robert Spencer[68] warns, even if there is no
chance of establishing a worldwide caliphate, that doesn’t mean that these
groups aren’t dangerous:
“As if the fact that the Soviet Union had no chance of making the world
communist means that it wasn’t a threat as it attempted to do so. These learned
heads seem to have no regard at all for the fact that as Al-Qaeda and other
jihadist groups try to establish a worldwide caliphate, they are capable of
causing immense, catastrophic havoc. The fact that their goals are unattainable
doesn’t mean they can’t do anything at all.”
Author Abid Ullah Jan’s book, The End of Democracy,
has become highly popular in Islamic circles. Jan quotes an 11th century Iraqi
jurist, al-Mawardi - whose works on governance are considered classics in the
field - regarding the duties of the Caliph (page 189):
“According to Al-Mawardi, the duties of the Khalifah are, that he should
guard the religion of Islam and suppress the growth of heresy; that he should
interpret Islamic law as Mujtahid and promulgate it; that he should keep armies
on the frontiers in order to defend Islamic territories from aggression by an
enemy; that he should champion the cause of Islam either by offering Islam to
the non-Muslims of the adjoining countries or by waging war against them until
they accept the status of protected people [dhimmis]; that he should execute and
preserve justice; that he should implement a sound financial system; that he
should appoint only competent ministers, governors, tax-collectors, judges and
other State officials and fix their salaries from the State treasury; and
lastly, that he should supervise all the departments of the State.”
Abid Ullah Jan also quotes the highly influential 20th century theologian Abul
A’la Mawdudi, the founder of Jamaat-e-Islami in today’s Pakistan (page 132):
“The ‘Islamic State seeks to mould every aspect of life and activity in
consonance with its moral norms and program of social reform. In such a State no
one can regard any field of his affairs as personal and private.’ However, this
concept does not make the Islamic State an authoritarian or fascist regime,
because ‘despite its all-inclusiveness, it [Islamic State] is something vastly
and basically different from the modern totalitarian and authoritarian states.’
Mawdudi further elaborates: ‘Individual liberty is not suppressed under it nor
is there any trace of dictatorship in it. It presents the middle course and
embodies the best that the human society has ever evolved.’”
According to Jan, “The reason why Muslims are not given a
chance to sit peacefully, take time and set an Islamic State is that an Islamic
State has the potential to show a real model of a just social order with all the
features that the champions of democracy claim but can never present.”
One might argue that it also has to do with the fact that
one stated objective of this Islamic superstate, as Jan himself points out, is
to kill or subdue all non-Muslims around the world.
In addition, Jan says that there has never been a single
approved method for appointing such a Caliph, which he interprets as leaving
room for elections (page 191):
“Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by not appointing his successor or suggesting any
specific mode or laying down any framework for constituting or deposing such a
successor, had acted in conformity with the Qur’an which is silent on this
issue.”
However, it is precisely because Muhammad, despite his
many wives, never produced a male heir, never appointed a successor, and failed
to provide any mechanism for choosing one, that immediate fissures developed
among the early Muslims. Some wanted leadership to follow the bloodline of
Muhammad through his daughter Fatima’s marriage to Alī bin Abī Tālib, the father
of Muhammad’s male grandchildren Hassan and Husayn. He later became known as the
first Imam of the Shi’a Muslims.
Despite all the nice words of modern apologists, it is
difficult to view the Caliphate as anything other than a divinely imposed
dictatorship. The principle of separation of powers as described by Montesquieu
is totally unknown, indeed would be considered heretical. While there may be
some dissent regarding the issue, it has been commonly held by Islamic jurists
that as long as the ruler does not reject the basic tenets of Islam, he must be
obeyed, since even a tyrannical ruler is better than anarchy. Thus he is
supposed to “consult” others in the affairs of the state, but he is also free to
ignore their advice. One is struck by the primitive nature of Islamic
governance.
There will be debates by future historians about how EU
leaders could do something as stupid as the creation of the Eurabian networks.
One of the answers will have to be: They did it because they could.
I have heard some Socialists argue that the Communist
system of the Soviet Union could have worked if they didn’t end up with a leader
such as Stalin. This view is fundamentally flawed, for the system itself invited
a Stalin, or a Mao; there were no formal restraints on the power of the rulers
under Communism. The same principle holds true for the Caliphate. Lord Acton
said, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. The
Islamic set-up ensures corruption and the abuse of power.
In 2006, the European Commission[69]
(the EU’s government) announced that it would send its proposals for EU laws to
national parliaments for comment - but it made clear that Brussels would only
“take note” of national parliamentarians’ wishes. The European Union’s concept
of “consultation” is thus that the people or their representatives should give
their “advice,” and then the leaders should be free to ignore this advice. Thus
the EU will be able to integrate seamlessly into the Caliphate, given that it
already operates under some of the same principles.
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) quotes
Dr. Shaker Al-Nabulsi[70], a Jordanian
intellectual, in criticising Yusuf Al-Qaradawi’s claim that “democracy is in the
essence of Islam.”
According to Nabulsi, “He is among those who maintain
that the Shura is meant to advise the ruler, but does not obligate him.
[Al-Qaradhawi holds that] the ruler must not be deposed even if he sins or
oppresses, and that ‘the ruler must be obeyed even if he strikes you or
expropriates your property.’ The Caliphate has remained unchanged from 632
through 2004 - it has kept its primitive, simple tribal form (the elite’s
allegiance to the sovereigns) - an un-democratic structure, despotic, and bloody
except for a brief period of 12 years during the rule of Abu Baker and Omar Bin
Al-Khattab [the first and second Caliphs]. (...) Since the time of [the Umayyad
Caliph] Mu’awiya Ibn Abi Sufyan through the last Ottoman Sultan, (that is from
the year 661 through the year 1924), the Islamic Caliphate was drenched with
blood, and ruled by fist and sword - and even today the situation is the same in
most of the Arab world.”
Nabulsi quotes al-Qaradawi as saying: “‘There are those
who maintain that democracy is the rule of the people, but we want the rule of
Allah.’ Such ideas] are a call for the Rule of Allah, discussed by Sayyid Qutb
in his book ‘The Milestones.’ [Qutb] borrowed this idea from Pakistani
intellectual Abu Al-’Ala Al-Mawdudi, who introduced the theory that authority is
Allah’s, not the people’s, and that the sovereign is none other than Allah’s
secretary and His representative on earth.”
Hassan al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928
with the stated goal of restoring the Caliphate. There are signs that his
disciple Yusuf al-Qaradawi, now spiritual leader of the Brotherhood, hasn’t
given up this goal. In an interview with German weekly magazine Der Spiegel[71],
Qaradawi said: “Islam is a single nation, there is only one Islamic law and we
all pray to a single God. Eventually such a nation will also become political
reality. But whether that will be a federation of already existing states, a
monarchy or an Islamic republic remains to be seen.”
In another essay[72],
Al-Qaradawi states that: “Secularism may be accepted in a Christian society but
it can never enjoy a general acceptance in an Islamic society. Christianity is
devoid of a shari’ah or a comprehensive system of life to which its adherents
should be committed.”
In contrast, according to The New Testament, the rule is
to : “Render unto Caesar things which belong to Caesar, and render unto God
things which belong to God” (Matthew 22:21).
But, “as Islam is a comprehensive system of worship
(’ibadah) and legislation (Shari’ah), the acceptance of secularism means
abandonment of Shari’ah,” and “the call for secularism among Muslims is atheism
and a rejection of Islam. Its acceptance as a basis for rule in place of
Shari’ah is downright riddah [apostasy].”
The adoption of secular laws and equality for Muslims and
non-Muslims amounts to apostasy. Harsh words from a man who has voiced support
for the traditional death penalty for apostates.
The Iranian intellectual Amir Taheri[73]
has noted, “There was no word in any of the Muslim languages for democracy until
the 1890s. Even then the Greek word democracy entered Muslim languages with
little change: democrasi in Persian, dimokraytiyah in Arabic, demokratio in
Turkish. It is no accident that early Muslims translated numerous ancient Greek
texts but never those related to political matters. The great Avicenna himself
translated Aristotle’s Poetics. But there was no translation of Aristotle’s
Politics in Persian until 1963.”
According to Taheri, one of the key stumbling blocks is
equality: “The idea is unacceptable to Islam, for the non-believer cannot be the
equal of the believer.”
“Democracy means the rule of the demos, the common
people, or what is now known as popular or national sovereignty. In Islam,
however, power belongs only to God: al-hukm l’illah. The man who exercises that
power on earth is known as Khalifat al-Allah, the regent of God. But even then
the Khalifah or Caliph cannot act as legislator. The law has already been
spelled out and fixed for ever by God. (...) There is consultation in Islam. But
the consultation thus recommended is about specifics only, never about the
overall design of society.”
He sums up with the conclusion that “Islam is
incompatible with democracy.” Yet in another essay, Amir Taheri wants Europeans
to revive the Roman Empire[74]:
“North Africa, which has the most beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean, could
become a kind of Florida for the old-age pensioners of western and northern
Europe. In exchange, millions of young people could move north from the south to
provide the labour force needed to keep the modern European economies going.
(...) A judicious mix of wealth and technology from the north and manpower from
the south could turn the Euro-Mediterranean region into the biggest and most
prosperous economy the world has ever seen.”
This idea is called “Eurabia” and is already being
implemented, as Bat Ye’or[75] can testify. And it
wasn’t a very good idea. If he is correct that Islam is incompatible with
democracy, what impact will it have on democracies if they get flooded with
people who have an Islamic mentality? Amir Taheri is often brilliant in his
writings about Islam, but in this case his ideas aren’t logically consistent.
According to the website Islam Online[76],
“Islam is not a religion in the common, distorted meaning of the word, confining
its scope only to the private life of man. By saying that it is a complete way
of life, we mean that it caters for all the fields of human existence. In fact,
Islam provides guidance for all walks of life - individual and social, material
and moral, economic and political, legal and cultural, national and
international.”
A common phrase is that Islam is Din wa Dawlah,
religion and State. In 2005, after parliamentary elections, Younus Qanooni[77],
a senior member of the Afghan Northern Alliance which helped the US overthrow
the Taliban regime in 2001, stated that the country could never become a secular
democracy. “Afghans will never agree on any secular or liberal system. Islam is
the modern system and Afghanistan’s future is tied with Islam.” Yet Western
soldiers are supposed to risk their lives, and Western taxpayers pay for,
establishing just such a system.
This rather naïve view of democracy is unfortunately the
rule rather than the exception. In a memo, the US State Department[78]
told its embassy in Cairo to launch a dialogue with religious groups because
clashes with them would only incite more attacks against US interests. They also
advised Washington to pressure the Egyptian government into allowing the Muslim
Brotherhood to play a larger role in Egypt’s political landscape. This despite
the fact that many of the worst terrorist groups today are offshoots of the MB.
Dr. Ahmad Al-Rab’i[79], former Kuwaiti minister of
education, warned that “The founders of the violent groups were raised on the
Muslim Brotherhood, and those who worked with Bin Laden and Al-Qa’ida went out
under the mantle of the Muslim Brotherhood.”
Author Tarek Heggy, too, warns that: “The Brotherhood
opposes the notion of a state based on democratic institutions, calling instead
for an Islamic government based on the Shura (consultative assembly) system,
veneration of the leader and the investiture of a Supreme Guide. In this, they
are close to the model established by the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in
Iran. (…) The Brotherhood calls for a constitutional and legal system based on
the principles of Shari’a, including cruel corporal punishments in the penal
code (stoning, lashing, cutting off the hands of thieves, etc.).”
Actually, the only place where there has been any
movement toward a democratic Islam is in Denmark. Of all the Western
nations,Denmark has mounted the strongest popular resistance against
Islamisation. Syrian-born MP Naser Khader[80] has
launched a network called Democratic Muslims. New members are required to sign a
declaration that they oppose Sharia laws. “Freedom of speech is the breath of
democracy - and if you take that away, then democracy dies,” said Khader.
Mr. Khader appears to be sincere about these efforts. So,
apparently, are his Muslim opponents, which is why he has received numerous
threats against his life. A French documentary used a hidden camera[81]
to capture an imam suggesting that Khader could attract suicide bombers if he
became minister of integration affairs. The imam in question, Ahmed Akkari,
later said he meant the comment as a joke.
The ideas behind the network are positive. They have defined the Ten
Commandments of Democracy[82], among them:
1. We must all separate politics and religion, and we must never place religion
above the laws of democracy.
2. We must all respect that all people have equal rights regardless of sex,
ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious beliefs.
3. No person must ever incite to hatred, and we must never allow hatred to enter
our hearts.
4. No person must ever use or encourage violence - no matter how frustrated or
wronged we feel, or how just our cause.
5. We must all show respect for the freedom of expression, also of those with
whom we disagree the most.
The problem is, only a small minority[83]
of the members Democratic Muslims are actually Muslims. The vast majority are
non-Muslim supporters.
In addition, Muslims in Denmark seem far more interested
in exploiting the democratic system than in supporting it. According to the
Copenhagen Post[84], Wallait Khan was elected
councillor for the Liberal Party in Copenhagen, only to defect to join the
Socialist People’s Party, which allowed them to establish a left-wing coalition.
But Khan had also been on the campaign trail in Pakistan. Khan said six people
had been elected in Pakistan despite their Danish residencies. “We Pakistanis in
Europe have a competition between ourselves,” he said. “We in Denmark compete
with Pakistanis living in Norway and England about who holds most mayor posts.”
The European Council for Fatwa and Research, whose leader
is Yusuf al-Qaradawi, are working on a Muslim Constitution for Europe[85]
that will be above national legislation. According to Tina Magaard from the
University of Aarhus, behind these ambitions “lies decades of work.” Islamic
groups have for years aimed at establishing their control of the Muslim
immigrant communities, and in some cases have won official recognition from
government bodies. According to Magaard, “The Imams and Islamists consider the
cooperation with the state institutions a transfer of power. Now it is them who
rule.”
Even without Islam, a pure democracy with no restraints
would not always be a good thing. For example, one could win the support of a
majority of the people, largely by promising them access to other people’s
money. Once in power, one could begin to dissolve whatever restraints exist in
order to secure permanent re-election. In February 2007, Venezuelan President
Hugo Chavez[86] was granted the right to rule by
presidential decree in his efforts to build a Socialist state, a move critics
say propels Venezuela toward dictatorship. National Assembly President Cilia
Flores applauded with the words “Fatherland, socialism or death,” while hundreds
of Chavez supporters outside waved signs reading “Socialism is democracy.”
Bruce Bawer[87], the author
of the book While Europe Slept, noted that the title of world’s most
democratic country was awarded to Sweden in 2006 by The Economist Intelligence
Unit. According to Bawer, “For many observers, this is not only wrong - it’s
staggeringly, outrageously misinformed. Though two-thirds of Swedes question
whether Islam is compatible with Western society, this issue is simply not open
for public discussion.” To quote observer Jonathan Friedman, “no debate about
immigration policies is possible” because Sweden’s “political class,” which
controls public debate, simply avoids the topic.
According to Bawer, the city of Stockholm “carried out a
survey of ninth-grade boys in the predominantly Muslim suburb of Rinkeby. The
survey showed that in the last year, 17% of the boys had forced someone to have
sex, 31% had hurt someone so badly that the victim required medical care, and
24% had committed burglary or broken into a car. Sensational statistics - but in
all of Sweden, they appear to have been published only in a daily newssheet that
is distributed free on the subways. Sweden is the only major Western European
country whose legislature contains not a single representative of a party
critical of its immigration policies.”
Members of the small party, the Sweden Democrats, are
critical of the country’s extremely open immigration policies. Seldom can they
hold meetings without being hassled or physically attacked. This has happened
regularly for years with the tacit approval of the Swedish elites. Swedish
newspaper Expressen warned against the “low-intensity terrorism” conducted by
extreme Leftists and neo-Nazis.
Political scientist Peter Esaiasson has done research
into every election movement in Sweden since 1866. According to him, the
organised attempts at disrupting meetings during the 2006 elections have no
parallels in modern history.
Added to this censorship on a national level, important
decisions are made by unelected EU bureaucrats. If democracy is supposed to mean
that citizens vote to decide their future, then Sweden is not a democracy; it is
a multicultural dictatorship. One can vote for a variety of parties, but all of
them support the same multiculturalism and mass immigration. Ordinary Swedes
have little influence over their own future, and freedom of speech is
non-existent. But the country still has the formal aspects of democracy: regular
multiparty elections take place. This should remind us once again that elections
do not automatically lead to a free society.
Famed historian Bernard Lewis[88],
who reputedly had an important influence on the American policy to bring
“democracy” to Iraq, in 2007 told The Jerusalem Post that Islam could soon be
the dominant force[89] in Europe. He ironically
warned that this Islamisation could be assisted by “immigration and democracy.”
In Vienna, Austria[90] in
December 2006, Santa Claus was removed from kindergartens. Municipal officials
insisted that the sight of a strange bearded figure at the door would evoke fear
in kids, but many observers accused them of kowtowing to a growing Muslim
population.
The Battle of Vienna in 1683, where the Ottoman Turks
were beaten by a force led by King Jan III Sobieski of Poland, was the last time
Muslims managed to threaten the West in traditional warfare. They gradually fell
further and further behind due to their technological ineptness, which again is
caused by their hostility towards freethinking as the basis of science. This
suppression of curiosity is their Achilles’ heel. Perhaps they have finally
found ours. This time they are already inside Vienna.
In the end, Muslims have been more successful at
peacefully infiltrating the democratic West than they ever were in challenging
the pre-democratic West in open warfare.
Ibn Warraq warns that the Islamists view our open society
as a means for infiltrating Western societies. He fears that we risk ending up
with an Islamisation of democracy instead of a democratisation of Islam.
Walid al-Kubaisi[91], a
Norwegian of Iraqi origins and a critic of sharia supporters, believes Yusuf
al-Qaradawi is more dangerous than terrorist leader Osama bin Laden:
“In Europe, the Muslim Brotherhood discovered a unique
opportunity: Democracy. The democratic system leaves room for freedom of
religion and freedom of speech, and finances religious communities and religious
organisations. This has been utilised by the Muslim Brotherhood to infiltrate
the Muslim communities, recruit members and build the Islamist networks that
have become so visible lately.” Whereas bin Laden uses bombs, al-Qaradawi
exploits democracy as a Trojan horse. The Brotherhood gets their activities
financed from Germany, England etc. They gain recognition and infiltrate the
democratic system.
Patrick Poole[92] describes
the discussion of a document entitled “The Project”, which so far has been
limited to the top-secret world of Western intelligence communities. It was only
through the work of an intrepid Swiss journalist, Sylvain Besson, that
information regarding The Project was finally been made public. It was found in
a raid of a villa in Campione, Switzerland on November 7, 2001.
Included in the documents seized was a fourteen-page plan
dated December 1, 1982, outlined a twelve-point strategy for a flexible,
multi-phased, long-term approach to the “cultural invasion” of the West. Among
the strategies recommended were the following:
·
involving ideologically committed Muslims throughout institutions on all levels
in the West;
·
including government, NGOs, private organisations;
·
utilising existing Western institutions until they can be put into service of
Islam; and
·
instituting alliances with Western “progressive” organisations that share
similar goals.
Sylvain Besson and Scott Burgess provide extensive
comparisons between Qaradawi’s publication, Priorities of the Islamic Movement
in the Coming Phase from 1990, and The Project. They note striking similarities
between the two documents.
Meanwhile, Yusuf al-Qaradawi has been hailed as a
“moderate” by people such as London’s mayor Ken Livingstone, who welcomed him to
a conference in Britain. This despite the fact that Qaradawi has supported
suicide bombers, brags about how Islam will conquer Europe and was the most
important figure in whipping up hatred during the Danish Cartoon Jihad in 2006.
The current official leader of the international Muslim Brotherhood, Mohammad
Mahdi Akef, has declared that he has “complete faith that Islam will invade
Europe and America.”
According to Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld and Alyssa A. Lappen,
the Brotherhood and its offspring organisations employ the Flexibility strategy:
“This strategy calls for a minority group of Muslims to use all ‘legal’ means to
infiltrate majority-dominated, non-Muslim secular and religious institutions,
starting with its universities. As a result, ‘Islamised’ Muslim and non-Muslim
university graduates enter the nation’s workforce, including its government and
civil service sectors, where they are poised to subvert law enforcement
agencies, intelligence communities, military branches, foreign services, and
financial institutions.”
Lorenzo Vidino writes about The Muslim Brotherhood’s
Conquest of Europe: “Since the early 1960s, Muslim Brotherhood members and
sympathisers have moved to Europe and slowly but steadily established a wide and
well-organised network of mosques, charities, and Islamic organisations.”
According to Vidino, “The ultimate irony is that Muslim Brotherhood founder
Hassan al-Banna dreamed of spreading Islamism throughout Egypt and the Muslim
world. He would have never dreamed that his vision might also become a reality
in Europe.”
Douglas Farah has noted the largely successful efforts by
Islamic groups in the West to buy large amounts of real estate. “We do not have
a plan. They do. History shows that those that plan, anticipate and have a
coherent strategy usually win. We are not winning.”
In early 2006[93], a tiny
Norwegian Christian newspaper, Magazinet, had reprinted the Danish cartoons of
Muhammad. After the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusuf
al-Qaradawi, indirectly triggered attacks on the Norwegian and Danish embassies
in Syria in February that year by whipping up anger in Arab television, Norway’s
Minister of Labour and Social Inclusion Bjarne Håkon Hanssen called a press
conference at a government office building in Oslo. There Velbjørn Selbekk, the
editor of Magazinet, issued an abject apology for reprinting the cartoons. At
his side, accepting his act of contrition and asking that all threats now be
withdrawn, was Muhammad Hamdan, the then-head of Norway’s Islamic Council. As
author Bruce Bawer[94] wrote, it was exactly like
a scene from a sharia court.
Trond Giske, Minister of Culture and Church Affairs, met
with Mr. Muhammad Hamdan a few months later and announced that government
subsidies for the Islamic Council would be raised from 60,000 kroner a year to
half a million. That’s more than a 700% increase in a single year, and was
undoubtedly viewed by Muslims as jizya. Thus it was in reality a formal
recognition by Norwegian authorities that the country was now under Islamic
rule.
Later in 2006, Minister Bjarne Håkon Hanssen from the
Labour Party called for increased immigration to Norway from Pakistan because
this would be “good for the economy.” The majority of Muslims in Norway voted
for the Labour Party in 2005, and 83% for Leftist parties in general. Samira
Munir[95], a member of the city council in the
capital city of Oslo, warned that there was widespread cooperation between the
Socialist parties and Muslim communities during that year’s elections. “The
heads of families and the mosques would decide how entire groups of immigrants
would vote. They made deals such as ‘How much money will we get if we get our
people to vote for you?,’ and the deals were always made with the Socialist
parties.”
Norway is an unusually naïve nation. While it may not be
the best yardstick to measure Islamic infiltration, the challenges Norway faces
can be found in many democratic countries, and not just Western ones.
Perhaps the greatest idea of the Leftist factions after
the Cold War was to re-invent themselves as Multicultural parties and begin to
import voters[96] from abroad. There is nothing
new about buying “clients” by promising them access to other people’s money.
However, this defect becomes more dangerous when combined with massive
immigration. In Europe, Muslim immigration may turn democracy into a
self-defeating system that will eventually break down because native Europeans
no longer believe that it serves their interests.
The Turkish government tried to influence the Dutch
general elections in 2006 through e-mails sent to thousands of ethnic Turks in
the Netherlands. According to Paul Belien of The Brussels Journal[97],
“This has created a situation where the immigrants in Western democracies become
Trojan horses of foreign nationalism and religious fanaticism.”
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, a Sikh, in 2007
stated that minorities, particularly Muslims, must have the first claim on
resources so that the benefits of India’s economic development would reach them
equitably. He failed to state that this was probably also for the electoral
benefit of his own Congress Party, which has been courting Muslims in India
since the time of Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru. Muslims are lagging behind
non-Muslims in economic development everywhere, from Western Europe to Malaysia,
which strongly indicates that their backwardness has something do with Islamic
culture.
Muslims in India can partially follow sharia law[98],
with official recognition. The All India Muslim Personal Law Board has gone to
the High Court to lower the legal age of marriage[99],
and insists that in family matters India’s Muslims should be subject only to
sharia. In January 2007, the government informed the Supreme Court that Muslims
under their personal law have a right to establish sharia courts to settle
disputes between two people and that fatwas issued by these courts are not in
conflict with the Indian justice system.
Scholar K.S. Lal[100]
analyzed Indian demography for the period between 1000-1525. Lal estimates that
the numbers of Hindus who perished as a result of these campaigns was
approximately 80 million.
According to historian N.S. Rajaram[101],
“India, where the wounds inflicted by centuries of Islamic rule on a large
segment of the Indian intelligentsia and the political class have been so
debilitating that they continue to live in a state of constant fear. (...)
Political freedom in India has not brought about spiritual freedom; politicians
and the intelligentsia still act like oppressed colonial subjects when asked to
face the truth about their country’s Islamic past.”
In Foreign Affairs[102]
magazine, F. Gregory Gause III, Associate Professor of Political Science at the
University of Vermont claims that there is no evidence that democracy reduces
terrorism, and points out the number of terrorist incidents in India:
“It is fair to assume that groups based in Pakistan carried out a number of
those attacks, particularly in Kashmir, but clearly not all the perpetrators
were foreigners. A significant number of terrorist events in India took place
far from Kashmir, reflecting other local grievances against the central
government.”
Despite the fact that Muslims have massacred tens of
millions of non-Muslims in India for more than one thousand years, Muslims in
the Republic of India don’t merely have equal rights with non-Muslims, they have
special rights and can follow sharia for family matters in what is supposedly a
secular country. India was also one of the first countries to ban Salman
Rushdie’s book The Satanic Verses after the Ayatollah Khomeini issued his
death sentence in 1989, thus restricting the freedom of speech for almost one
billion non-Muslims out of fear of Muslim violence.
Former Prime Minister of Thailand Thaksin Shinawatra was
controversial for several reasons, but there is no doubt that his clash with the
Islamic Jihad in Thailand’s south greatly contributed to his removal through a
military coup in 2006. Most of Thailand’s inhabitants are Buddhists, but the
southern provinces close to Malaysia have Muslim majorities, where a Muslim
insurgency has prompted many Buddhists to flee their homes. Monks have been
beheaded and teachers slain. Almost one thousand public schools[103]
have been closed in the south due to a wave of arson attacks against schools and
the murders of dozens of teachers.
A leaflet[104] which was
distributed in the region stated that “This land must be liberated and ruled by
Islamic Law. This land does not belong to Thailand, this is a land of war that
is no different from Palestine and Afghanistan ... Muslims and non-believers
have to live separately.”
Chulanont Surayud, Thai military officer, interim Prime
Minister and head of a military junta that had overthrown the elected government
in the fall of 2006, publicly apologised[105] for
the former government’s hard-line policies and said that he would urge the
limited use of Islamic law in the south, especially over family affairs.
Judging from the experiences of India, there is little
reason to believe that granting limited sharia to Muslims would end violence
against non-Muslims. Most likely, the Buddhists of southern Thailand[106]
will end up being refugees in their own country, just like the Hindus of
Kashmir, while their government appeases Muslims with sharia.
Certain observers mistakenly claim that “once Muslims
become a majority, we will get sharia through elections.” On the contrary,
sharia will arrive much sooner. Observe that relatively small percentages of
Muslims can squeeze concessions out of democracies. Sharia has already been
partially implemented in India, Thailand, the Philippines, and Britain. Islam’s
inherent aggressiveness elicits appeasement from non-Muslims in order to avoid
bringing down the democratic system through civil war.
In Policy Review, Lee Harris reviews Andrew G. Bostom’s
excellent book The Legacy of Jihad. Harris warns against those who
dismiss the idea that Jihad constitutes a serious Islamic threat to the West
because we are technologically superior to the Islamic world:
“The jihadists are not interested in winning in our sense of the word. They can
succeed simply by making the present world order unworkable, by creating
conditions in which politics-as-usual is no longer an option, forcing upon the
West the option either of giving in to their demands or descending into anarchy
and chaos. It is tempting to call this approach the crash of civilisation.”
Accordingly, says Harris, “In the crash-of-civilisation
paradigm - contrary to Clausewitzian warfare - the enemy of a particular
established order does not need to match it in organisational strength and
effectiveness. It needs only to make the established order reluctant to use its
great strength out of the understandable fear that by plunging into civil war it
will itself be jeopardised. This fear of anarchy - the ultimate fear for those
who embrace the politics of reason - can be used to paralyze the political
process to the point at which the established order is helpless to control
events through normal political channels and power is no longer in the hands of
the establishment but lies perilously in the streets.”
In September 2006, French high-school philosophy teacher
Robert Redeker published an op-ed article stating that unlike Christianity and
Judaism, “Islam is a religion that, in its own sacred text, as well as in its
everyday rites, exalts violence and hatred.” For the crime of stating that Islam
was violent, Redeker received numerous death threats and had to go into hiding
with his family and give up his teaching profession.
According to writer Christian Delacampagne[107],
“large sectors of the French intellectual and political establishment have
carved out an exception to this hard-won tradition of open discussion: when it
comes to Islam (as opposed to Christianity or Judaism), freedom of speech must
respect definite limits.”
Seyran Ates, who for a generation had endured threats
from Turkish men in Germany, including being shot and badly wounded, as she
represented the wives who accused them of abuse, had to give up her Berlin law
practice because it had become too dangerous. Italian conservative MP Daniela
Santanche has received death threats over her opposition to the Islamic veil. In
Spain, author Gustavo de Arístegui[108], Foreign
Affairs Spokesman for Spain’s conservative Partido Popular, has received police
protection after being branded an enemy of Islam.
With Muslim immigration, a culture of threats, legal and
social harassment as well as physical intimidation is gradually spreading in
non-Muslim countries. What Muslims cannot yet achieve by the sword, they will
try to achieve by lawyers backed by Arab oil money. The fear of an expensive
court battle is an effective weapon that can be used to silence critics of
Islam.
In Canada, Mark Harding[109]
was sentenced to 340 hours of community service - that is, indoctrination -
under the direction of Mohammad Ashraf, general secretary of the Islamic Society
of North America in Mississauga, Ontario. Judge Sidney B. Linden’s 1998 decision
was based on Canada’s hate-crimes law. The judge determined Harding was guilty
of “false allegations about the adherents of Islam calculated to arouse fear and
hatred of them in all non-Muslim people.”
Harding’s crime was to distribute pamphlets outside a
public high school. His materials listed atrocities committed by Muslims in
foreign lands. The pamphlet said: “The Muslims who commit these crimes are no
different than the Muslim believers living here” and that “Toronto is definitely
on their hit list.”
In 2006, Canadian police arrested a group of Muslim men
suspected of planning terror attacks against various targets including the
Toronto subway. An intelligence study warned that a “high percentage” of
Canadian Muslims involved in extremist activities were born in Canada.
Harding’s case demonstrates that it is now a criminal act
in several Western nations to tell the truth about the dangers posed by Muslim
immigration. Hate speech laws amount to “sharia lite”: they are used to silence
infidels such as Harding for criticising Islam, which again corresponds to the
workings of sharia. The sharia lite of political correctness is thus paving the
way for the gradual implementation of full sharia in the West.
Hate crime legislation, too, is legalised political
correctness and constitutes a radical departure from the ideal of equality
before the law. You will be punished differently for assaulting a black Muslim
than for the same crime against a white Christian, a Hindu woman or a Jewish man
etc. Some would argue that this already happens in real life. However, the point
here is that this de facto inequality has now become de jure. This formal change
constitutes a gross perversion of justice. It mirrors Islamic law, which
mandates different punishments for the same crime, depending upon the religious
background and the sex of both the perpetrator and the victim.
Islam has always valued individual life inequitably. But
now there is a creeping tendency within the West toward the same view. In the
case of assault or murder, an additional sentence is added if the act is viewed
as a “hate crime.”
Murder is murder, and all human life is to be valued
equally. However, according to multiculturalism we are required to treat all
cultures and religions as equally valid, which they obviously are not. This
perversion of reality indicates that the Western system of justice is
regressing. As it does so, justice becomes vulnerable to exploitation and
infiltration by Islamic law.
Zachariah Anani, a former jihadist and a convert to
Christianity, gave a lecture in Windsor, Ontario on “the dangers of radical
extremism.” Muslim interest groups, including CAIR (Council on American-Islamic
Relations) Canada, charged him with “spreading hatred in the community.” Former
Muslim Walid Shoebat[110] believes that silencing
Anani is a dangerous trend with far-reaching implications for the future of
Canadian and eventually US freedoms.
According to the American writer and scholar Daniel Pipes[111],
Omar Ahmad, the long-serving chairman of CAIR, told a crowd of California
Muslims in July 1998, “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith,
but to become dominant. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in
America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth.”
Pipes claims that CAIR has mastered the victimisation
game[112] and is “perpetually on the prowl for any
incidence of anti-Muslim sentiment, real or imaginary, spontaneous or provoked,
major or minor.” The organisation’s goal, Pipes says, is “to make the United
States like so many other countries - a place where Muslims, Islam and Islamism
cannot be freely discussed.”
CAIR receives significant financial aid in its efforts.
In 2006, wealthy Saudis such as Prince Alwaleed ibn Talal donated at least $50
million to CAIR. Much of this money was to be spent on a media campaign[113]
over the next five years in the United States. CAIR and other Islamic
organisations have had significant success in achieving acceptance of the
concept of “Islamophobia”[114]. It has met with
representatives of federal institutions[115],
including the FBI, to address this issue.
What exactly is democracy? Karl Popper has said that “I
personally call the type of government which can be removed without violence
‘democracy,’ and the other, ‘tyranny.’” Ludwig von Mises held similar views,
stating that “The essence of democracy is not that everyone makes and
administers laws but that lawgivers and rulers should be dependent on the
people’s will in such a way that they may be peaceably changed if conflict
occurs.”
Historically, direct democracies have almost always been
relatively small communities, such as the Greek city-states where the word
“democracy” itself was coined in the 5th century BC. The most famous was the
ancient Athenian democracy, where voting rights were gradually expanded to all
citizens, which still meant a minority of the population of the city.
The scholar John Dunn[116]
tracks this development in his book Setting the People Free: The Story of
Democracy, a title he chose in order to convey a degree of irony. According
to Dunn, “Under democracy the citizens of Athens, quite reasonably and
accurately, supposed that they were ruling themselves. But the vastly less
exclusive citizen bodies of modern democracies very obviously do nothing of the
kind. Instead, they select from a menu, which they can do little individually to
modify, whichever they find least dismaying amongst the options on offer.”
Whereas Plato loathed democracy, Aristotle was critical
but more sober. He envisioned a government by the many, which was nevertheless a
good system:
Page 47: “Aristotle himself chose to call it not democracy but politeia,
(polity or, more informatively, constitutional government). Politeia was
distinguished from democracy not merely by a difference in purpose and
disposition (a commitment to collective good rather than group advantage), but
also by a different and more elaborate institutional structure.”
James Madison, the chief drafter of the Bill of Rights,
contributed a great deal to drafting of the US Constitution and set-up of its
government, in discussion with among others his friend Thomas Jefferson. They
were both critical of the idea of pure democracy. Thomas Jefferson warned
against “elective despotism.” They desired what Alexander Hamilton had called a
representative democracy, or indirect democracy. Dunn is not convinced this
arrangement can properly be called democracy, in the meaning of direct citizen
involvement in decisions which it had in ancient Greece.
Page 79: “Whatever else the new American state might or
might not be called, it could not properly be termed a democracy. A
representative government differed decisively from a democracy not in the
fundamental structure of authority which underlay it, but in the institutional
mechanisms which directed its course and helped to keep it in being over time.”
John Dunn thinks US President Bush’s idea that the
expansion of democracy to Iraq and the Middle East should roll back terrorism
was “a glaring instance of ideological overstretch.”
Maybe the word “democracy” is now so diluted that it has
become almost meaningless. Since the word itself is vague but at the same time
too established to ignore, perhaps we can distinguish between pure democracy,
which isn’t always a good system even without Islam, and restrained democracy,
with a balance between short-term populism and long-term interests.
In The Case for Sovereignty, Jeremy A. Rabkin
describes how Jürgen Habermas, Germany’s most celebrated philosopher, talks
about establishing a structure of international law and authority that will
control and direct all governments.
As Rabkin timely asks: “Who could challenge or constrain
a world authority with such immense power? Even if it were constrained by a
formal constitution, who could possibly ensure that the world authority remained
within its proper bounds? How could it be anything like a democracy? Would a
hundred small nations outvote the half-dozen largest nations? Or would a billion
Chinese, a billion Indians, and a half-billion Southeast Asians be allowed to
form a permanent majority, dictating law and justice to the rest of the world?”
There was no United Nations or international law in the
late 18th century. Rabkin thinks the US Founding Fathers “would have been
appalled at the thought that the federal government, in turn, would be
subordinate to some supranational or international entity, which could claim
priority in this way over the American Constitution and American laws.”
The combination of 21st century mass media, transnational
legislation, and bureaucratic feudalism helped transform Europe into Eurabia[117].
Thousands of pages of legislation continue to be passed without the knowledge or
consent of European citizens. Through mass immigration the demographic profile
of the continent is now rapidly changing, frequently without public consent.
The Jihad riots in France[118]
in 2005 demonstrated that hundreds of ghettos were under de facto Islamic
control. French state control ceased to function in these areas; thus the
state’s monopoly of violence has been broken. The rule of law in much of Europe
is now being seriously eroded. People see that the national taxes they pay go to
governments that can no longer control their own borders, uphold their own laws,
or even provide the most basic security for its citizenry.
Either the conditions needed for a functioning democratic
system will be restored, or the system will collapse. An increasing number of
observers fear[119] that we have already passed
the point where the tensions can be contained within the structure of a
democratic system, and will give rise to civil wars.
The Racial and Religious Hatred Bill[120]
in Britain from 2005 is a textbook illustration of the potential flaws of a
democracy in meeting with Islam. Minorities can wield disproportionate influence
in a democratic system if they can tip the scales in favor of a particular party
or alliance. In this case, the Labour Party was using the freedom of speech of
their citizens as a bargaining chip to woo Muslim voters.
The powers of the House of Lords, the unelected upper
chamber of the British Parliament, have steadily declined since the 19th
century. However, they can still delay bills from the House of Commons. A
watered down version of the Racial and Religious Hatred Bill was finally passed,
following opposition by the Lords. Notice here that it was the “anachronistic”
House of Lords - the least democratic element of the British Parliament - which
proved to be most sensible in this case.
The US Founding Fathers feared “mob rule” and tried to
insulate the elected representatives of Congress from what they perceived as the
fickleness of the general populace. I understand this viewpoint. We should be
less religious about what is or is not democracy. Democracy should never be a
goal in itself, nor should all legislation be passed according to the whim of
the majority at a given moment. The ideal is a balanced and well-functioning
system.
However, it isn’t always the case that ordinary citizens
are stupid and their leaders wise. It was after all the political elites in
Europe who created Eurabia, not the general populace. The US Founding Fathers in
the 18th century did not fully foresee the possibility that the elected
representatives could deliberately choose not to uphold their country’s borders,
as they are doing in the United States vis-à-vis Mexico in the 21st century.
A century or two ago, the interests of the national
political elites largely coincided with those of the nation state as a whole[121].
This is no longer automatically the case in our globalised society. Many
politicians and senior bureaucrats feel little emotional attachment to their own
nations. Often they are more interested in courting the transnational
organisations and multinational corporations, since these entities will provide
them with the most lucrative job opportunities.
This situation is an important factor behind the growing
erosion of trust between the rulers and the ruled in many Western nations. A
common - and often quite accurate - theme among ordinary citizens is a sense of
having been abandoned by the “political elites.” In the 21st century, one of the
greatest challenges for a functioning democratic system will not merely be to
keep the fickleness of the “common people” in line. Even more important, it will
be necessary to force the sometimes reluctant elected representatives to uphold
their country’s borders and to take into account the wishes of the electorate
for national sovereignty. This balance may not be easy to achieve.
The Chinese blogger Ohmyrus[122]
(who also writes very sensible articles about Islam) on his blog “Reforming
Democracy” refers to politicians as “votepreneurs” and points out that democracy
has several flaws: “There are, simply put, more poor people than rich people.
What this means is that politicians can prosper at the ballot box by proposing
redistributive policies. The result is high taxes.”
According to Thomas Jefferson, “The democracy will cease
to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those
who would not.” Quotes like this indicate, according to Ohmyrus, that the US
Founding Fathers were concerned more with liberty than with democracy.
Ohmyrus also believes that democracies produce short-term
thinking, and “are incapable of delivering short term pain for long term gain.
They tend to do the opposite, ie, deliver short term gain at the expense of long
term pain. (...) I think the monarchies of the 19th century Europe were better
macroeconomic managers than the democratically elected politicians of the 20th
century. Statistics show that interest rates, taxes and inflation were on the
whole lower. So was government debt as a share of the GDP.”
He believes this happened because monarchs and nobles
tended to think more about the long term. At the same time they did not have
absolute power, and so had to take the will of the general public into
consideration. Our current problem lies not so much with the votepreneurers
(politicians), but with the system under which they labour.
He proposes several remedies for this situation. Among
other things, the US President’s time in office could be increased to a single
term of eight years, while the time in office for other elected officials would
also lengthen and similarly be fixed for a single term.
According to Singapore’s long-time leader Lee Kuan Yew[123],
it is demography, not democracy, that will be the critical factor in shaping
growth and security in the 21st century. Although I do not always agree with
him, it is true that any political system, democratic or non-democratic, cannot
long survive the loss of its territorial integrity without also losing control
over its own demographic future. Yet this is exactly the current reality in many
democratic nations.
Just as the planet is in the midst of an unprecedented
population boom, and technological advances have combined to produce the largest
and fastest migration waves in the history of mankind, many democratic nations
have become so bogged down by idealistic human rights legislation and naive open
border ideologies that they have now lost control over their own borders. Again,
this cannot continue for long without serious consequences.
In January 2007, a poll conducted in Britain showed that
82% of the public disagreed with the claim that the Government was in control of
immigration, and almost as many believed the authorities were not honest about
immigration. Sir Andrew Green, chairman of the think-tank Migrationwatch[124],
said this reflected “a deep underlying resentment among the public that they
have not had any opportunity to express their views - still less to be consulted
- on a matter of major importance to them and to the future of our country.”
This represents a dangerous crisis of legitimacy. It is
especially serious when it comes as authorities are increasing restrictions on
free speech. This combination could well result in a popular explosion further
down the road. As US President John F. Kennedy once said, “Those who make
peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
The blogger Ohmyrus[125]
fears this outcome, too: “While it took a long time for Europeans to learn to
settle their differences peacefully through the ballot box, this important
lesson is slowly being unlearned. The lesson learned from the Danish cartoon
affair is that violence pays. Most western governments caved in by issuing
apologies or condemning the cartoons instead of defending free speech. Soon
groups that oppose immigration will turn to violence too. If European
democracies cannot manage their ethnic tensions, democracy will break down,
ushering in dictatorial rule.”
To sum up my findings, I am not totally uncritical of the
democratic system, nor do I believe that it automatically translates into
individual liberty. Democratic nations may have to undergo significant changes
if the system of democracy is to survive this century. The goals should be:
·
A balanced and well-functioning system, which requires free speech;
·
Real restraints upon the power of the ruler, and
·
Equality before the law.
None of these are compatible with Islamic sharia.
Muslims aren’t necessarily afraid of voting. Note that
the terrorist organisation Hamas gained power through Palestinian elections.
According to historian Niall Ferguson[126], a
Gallup poll published in 2007, which surveyed 10,000 Muslims in 10 different
countries, revealed that radical Muslims were more supportive of democracy than
moderate ones: “The richer these people get, the more they favour radical
Islamism. And they see democracy as a way of putting the radicals into power.”
What Muslims are afraid of is freedom of speech. They
want to intimidate the critics of Islam into silence, while they continue
demographic conquest through immigration and high birth rates. They have enjoyed
considerable success with this strategy. Our present system of democracy rewards
those with high birth rates, which, for the present, means Muslims.
A democracy cannot be established in a genuinely Islamic
country, at least not if “democracy” means anything more than the mere act of
voting, with no restraints on state power and no safeguards for minorities. This
is simply an advanced form of mob rule. If the meaning of “democracy” expands to
include constitutional government, secular jurisprudence, the rule of law and
equality before the law, and above all freedom of speech, then no -
constitutional democracy cannot be reconciled with Islam. It is a waste of time
and money to make the attempt.
Non-Muslims currently have the wrong focus. Trying to
export democracy to Islamic countries such as Iraq is futile. As American
blogger Lawrence Auster[127] has pointed out, we
should rather be protecting our own democracies at home against Islam. Writer
Diana West[128] has called for an anti-sharia
defensive instead of a pro-democracy offensive as the preferred strategy in
dealing with Muslims, which makes a lot of sense. Islam is utterly incompatible
with human liberty in any meaningful sense of the word. However, Islam may be
very well situated to exploit flaws in the democratic system and destroy it from
within.
I have called for a global infidel strategy of
containment[129] of the Islamic world as far as
possible, which includes banning Muslim immigration. This would eventually force
Muslims to face up to the failures produced by their cultural system. Challenge
your enemy where he is weak. Islam cannot tolerate freedom of speech, which is
its greatest weakness. The United States is well-situated to make this
challenge. It still has a relatively low number of Muslims and also retains
strong legal protections of free speech. The greatest weapon Muslims fear in the
American arsenal is the First Amendment. This rule, so wisely included in the
Bill of Rights by the Founding Fathers, ensures individual freedom of speech
against the tyranny of the majority.
If the United States wants to maintain what it sees as
its moral leadership, it can begin by challenging Islamic censorship and
intimidation. China doesn’t care, nor does Russia, while India has a huge
Islamic fifth column to worry about. Europe is controlled by a Eurabian elite
that is both unwilling and incapable of protecting free speech from Muslim
intimidation, which is why many Europeans have become free speech refugees on
American websites such as Robert Spencer’s JihadWatch.org and Charles Johnson’s
Little Green Footballs[130].
While formal protection of free speech is important,
social and informal censorship are equally challenging. At the end of the day,
we will also have to shed the straightjackets of multiculturalism and Political
Correctness if our democratic system is to survive Islamic challenges as well as
other attacks on our freedoms.

“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.”
Aldous Huxley
Why are demographical studies important?
Europe
is under siege by Islam. It is under demographical siege. In order for us, the
resistance, to do what is required of us we need to properly analyse and
comprehend demographical data. If we had learned from our own history, from our
Eastern European brethren, we could have avoided this mess altogether. European
demographical studies, especially in the Balkans and elsewhere, confirm that the
Global Islamic Ummah has deliberately waged a demographic warfare against
Eastern Europe since the fall of the Christian Byzantine Empire. In light of the
following documentation it is easy to understand the Western European regimes
role in all of this. The US and Western Europe wanted to see a dysfunctional
Balkan because a strong and potent Slavic Balkan allied with Russia would pose a
threat to cultural Marxist/multiculturalist Western Europe.
However, once the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist regimes of Western Europe
falls in phase 3 (2070-2090), order will again be restored not only in Western
Europe but in the Balkans as well. The Muslims will finally be driven out.
Demographics – Islamic demographic warfare
’“One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the
Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go
there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our
women will give us victory.”
Former Algerian President Houari Boumedienne’s prophetic warning to Europe in a
speech at the U.N. In 1974.
After the European colonies achieved independence, the European countries
enabled mass immigration from their former colonies. In the 1960s and early
1970s, guest workers were brought over by the governments of France, the UK,
Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Scandinavia. Once the European countries
imposed an immigration ban, the type of immigration shifted. Today most Muslim
immigrants come either as asylum seekers or as part of family reunification.
Many of the second generation migrants marry spouses from their former homeland.

Several countries have gone to great lengths to conceal the size of their Muslim
population. In some countries they have even made it illegal to gather such
info. The primary reason is because they do not want right wing organisations to
make an issue out of it. If we were allowed to (they feel), it would contribute
to stigmatise Muslims and it would make it counter productive in regards to
integration measures. If this information was available it would be a lot harder
for the current Western European regimes to continue to justify multiculturalism
and the ongoing Islamic demographic warfare being waged. The below overview
should reflect the correct numbers for 2009 (estimates).

Muslim demography, projections[1]
Don Melvin writes that, excluding Russia, Europe's Muslim population will double
by 2020. He also says that in 2005, almost 85% of Europe's total population
growth in 2005 was due to immigration in general. Omer Taspinar predicts that
the Muslim population of Europe will nearly double by 2015, while the non-Muslim
will shrink by 3.5%, due to the higher Muslim birth rate[1].

2008 - Numbers and percentages of Muslims in many European cities (legal/illegal
including city suburbs)[1][2][3]:
A majority of the “official” numbers are false. Usually the specific country
will only include individual Muslims who are registered with a mosque. In other
cases a capital city will deliberately exclude related Muslim suburbs. In most
cases, the city will deliberately avoid creating these types of statistics to
prevent stigma.

European fertility vs Islamic fertility
“Every Western woman in the EU is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every
Muslim woman in the same countries is producing 3.5 children.
By 2050, 30 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim.” said Mulla
Krekar[1].

Islamic demographic warfare in the Balkans
A majority of the Muslim apologists in the west will say that Islam and Sharia
was never important to the Muslims in the Balkans,
the Muslim Albanians and Bosniaks.
This is a false claim. The
Code of Lekë (Kanun) was a local
variant of Sharia and was instrumental in the Jihadi demographic warfare being
waged against the non-Muslims.
Even today, Albanian Muslims continue to Islamise Kosovo from the Serbs and
Chameria/Çamëria from Greece.

I have been unable to verify which of the sources (1 or 2 is correct). In any
case, it shows exactly how the Christian people have been demographically
anihilated. There are reports of religious persecution, in the form of murders,
beatings and land grabs. This happens while European tax money is used to fund
the Palestinian Authority, which again means that while European countries and
EU authorities are warning against “Islamophobia,” they are indirectly funding
the ethnic cleansing of Christians in the Middle East.
Jerusalem[3]
1946 - 60% Christians
2006 - 2% Christians
The same applies in other parts of Israel. A report from the Galilee village of
Turan quotes a Christian store owner: "Most Christians will leave as soon as we
can sell our houses and shops. We can't live among these people [Muslims]
anymore." One journalist concludes that "The Christian community in the West
Bank is close to extinction.
At the present rate, the Middle East's 12 million Christians will likely drop to
6 million in the year 2020.

In India as in Europe, the Global Islamic Ummah is continuing the ongoing
demographic warfare and is seemingly successful. The India elites, just like
European elites, are aiding and abetting the Muslim conquest by way of
appeasement. If the development in India is allowed to continue and our Hindu
Nationalist brothers do not rise up soon we will see a Muslim majority in India
in 2035-2040.
For future reference; by Hindus we mean the Four Arms of the Dharma:- mainstream
Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains. This is an unknown definition/concept to
most Europeans; Sikhs are considered as a warrior sect of Sanatana Dharma. To a
majority of Hindus; Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains are not a part of the minority
but rather an integral part of Sanatana Dharma. However, anti-Dharmic,
secularists and foreign media are bent upon separating each one into a separate
religion. The British colonialists were the first who started to separate the
four branches in order to play “divide and conquer” in which they succeeded.

Pakistan’s demographical explosion[1]
1951 - 33,816,000 - 17.80%
1961 - 42,978,000 - 22.46%
1972 - 65,321,000 - 25.40%
1981 - 84,254,000 - 28.28%
1998 - 130,580,000 - 32.51%
2008 - 172,800,000
- 32.34%
From 33 million to 172 million in only 60 years! This is the population
explosion you end up with if you allow an immigrant birth rate (fertility rate)
of only 3,58 which was the 2008
estimate in Pakistan[1]. Obviously, this “official” fertility rate has been
falsified and is much higher.

Middle East - Jewish/Christian demographic overview from peak - 600AD
I have been unable to find any demographic overviews illustrating
Jewish/Christian numbers from year 600 AD in the Middle East (Peak numbers
before Islam was established). So the following numbers are estimates created on
the basis of available historical sources. It shows an estimate which tells us a
lot about how Islamic imperialism caused (and still causes today) historical
demographic decline in percentages of Jews and Christians in specific Middle
Eastern territories.
We have managed to document several hundred Jihadi genocides against Jews and
Christians, and thousands of pogroms/forced conversion campaigns but we never
see the big picture through a concise historical demographic overview. I haven't
seen any solid demographic curve which can easier illustrate how Jihad and
dhimmitude has caused this downward spiral. Therefore, it is our responsibility
to continue to develop, make adjustments to any possible errors and find more
sources which can confirm the existing estimates. F example to create a
demographic curve showing: year 600, 1000, 1500, 2000). By showing people the
"big picture" they will realize the future results of the ongoing Islamisation
in Western Europe and the psychopathic nature of the so called "Palestinian
claim" of victimhood and people will begin to understand what Islam and Jihad
really is. Demographical research is necessary in order to explain to people why
mass deportation of Muslims is the only viable alternative.
Year 600 AD - Demographic overview in the Middle East, estimate
Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Algeria - Christians 50%, Jews 10%, other 40%
Egypt - Christians 60%, Jews 20%, other 20%
Syria - Christians 80%, Jews 10%, Zoroastrians 10%
Jordan - Christians 70%, Jews 20%, Zoroastrians 10%
Iran (Persia) - Zoroastrians 80%, Christians 10%, other10%
Iraq - Christians 50%, Jews 20%, Zoroastrians 30%
Saudi Arabia - Jews 30%, Christians 10%, Arabic paganism 60%
Yemen - Jews 30%, Christians 20%, Arabic paganism 50%
Oman - Jews 10%, Christians 20%, Arabic paganism 70%
Anatolia (Byzantine) - Christian 95%, Jews 5%
Armenia - Christian 95%, Jews 5%
African population explosion
Estimated population in Africa:
1982 - 500 000 000
2009 - 1 000 000 000
2030 - 1 500 000 000
2050 - 2 000 000 000
This population explosion is facilitated by Europe and the US through the myriad
of aid programs. A great number of these new born individuals have no hope and
many end up attempting to flee to Europe.
General statistics
- 65-70% of converts to Islam in Europe are females[1].
- More civilians were killed by Muslim extremists in two hours on September 11th
than in the 36 years of sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland[2].
- More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the
Spanish Inquisition combined[3].
- Islamic terrorists murder more people everyday than the Ku Klux Klan has in
the last 50 years[4].
- EU: 50% of anti-Semitic incidents connected to radical Islam[5]
Worldwide statistics [7]
65,2% of Muslims wants: “To unify all Islamic countries into a single Islamic
state or Caliphate”
65,5% of Muslims wants: “To require a strict application of Sharia law in every
Islamic country”
Mainstream Muslims from Morocco to Indonesia therefore share with their
co-religionists from al-Qaeda the goal (if not necessarily supporting the
gruesome means) of re-establishing an Islamic Caliphate. Polling data released
(April 24, 2007) in a rigorously conducted face-to-face University of Maryland/
WorldPublicOpinion.org interview survey of 4384 Muslims conducted between
December 9, 2006 and February 15, 2007:
1000 Moroccans
1000 Egyptians
1243 Pakistanis
1141 Indonesians
- reveal that
65.2%
of those interviewed-almost
2/3,
hardly a "fringe minority"-desired this outcome (i.e., "To unify all Islamic
countries into a single Islamic state or Caliphate"), including 49% of
"moderate" Indonesian Muslims. The internal validity of these data about the
present longing for a Caliphate is strongly suggested by a concordant result:
65.5%
of this Muslim sample approved the proposition "To require a
strict
[My emphasis] application of Shari'a law in every Islamic country."
Notwithstanding a historical drivel from Western Muslim "advocacy" groups such
as the Muslim Association of Britain, which lionises both the Caliphate and the
concomitant institution of Shari'a as promulgators of "a peaceful and just
society", the findings from the University of Maryland/ WorldPublicOpinion.org
poll are ominous.

Russia
A recent poll: 62% of Russian youth want to deport immigrants (Muslims): "But if

France
2007 - A report by France’s domestic intelligence agency, published by Le
Figaro, estimated last year that there were 30,000 to 50,000 converts in France.
The conversion to Islam of fragile individuals undoubtedly leads to the risk of
diversion to terrorism,” the intelligence agency’s report said, adding that
radical groups have recruited converts because they could cross borders easily
or serve as front men for renting accommodations or providing other logistical
support.
The new recruits could provide foreign-born Islamic militants with invisibility
and cover, by escaping the scrutiny often reserved for young men of Arab
descent.
In an interview, one French antiterrorism official said many recent converts
were women, further complicating the standard profile.
Militant converts come to Islam in several ways, most notably through contact
with militant Muslims while serving time in Europe’s prisons, where the Islamic
population has skyrocketed. Richard Reid, the so-called shoe bomber from
Britain, converted to Islam in prison.

2006 the percentage tripled.[2]
- In 1999, 40% of Moroccan youth strictly followed the rules of Islam, seven
years later that grew to 60%. A similar movement is presented when it comes to
adaptation. In 1999, a quarter of Moroccans thought they don't need to adapt,
and now that went up to 40%.[2]

Germany
Sunni Muslims living in Germany are religious to an above-average degree; 92
percent identify themselves as being religious. Among Shiites in Germany, that
number lies at 90 percent, and it is 77 percent for members of the Alevite
community[1].
According to a study commissioned by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
newspaper, 56 percent of Germans said they believed a "clash of cultures"
already existed. 71 percent said they believed Islam to be "intolerant," some 91
per cent said they associated Islam with oppression of women. Asked if there
should be a ban on the building of mosques in Germany as long as the building of
churches in some Islamic states is forbidden, 56 per cent agreed. There was even
considerable backing for ending Germany's constitutional right of freedom of
religion with regard to Islam. Asked if strict limits should be imposed on the
practice of Islam in Germany to protect the country, 40 per cent said they would
support such moves[2].
Polls:
59-70 support the statement; ”There are too many immigrants in Germany”[3].

Pakistani statistics
- Pakistani Troops Pursuing al-Qaeda (Poll: Oct 2007)[1]
Do you favour or oppose the Pakistani army entering federally administered
tribal areas to pursue and capture al Qaeda fighters?
Support: 44% vs. Oppose: 36%
These attitudes reflect Pakistani sympathy for Islamist goals. A substantial
60 percent[My emphasis] majority
believes that "Shari'a should play a larger role in Pakistan law" than it does
now. [1]
- Foreign Troops Pursuing al-Qaeda (Poll: Oct 2007)[1]
Do you think the Pakistan government should or should not allow American or
other foreign troops to enter Pakistan to pursue and capture al-Qaeda fighters?
Support: 5% vs. Oppose: 80%
- Government by Islamic Principles
(Poll: Jan 2008)[2]
How important is it for you to live in a country that is governed according to
Islamic principles?
9 (0 = Not at all
10 = Absolutely)
- And how much do you think Pakistan is governed according to Islamic
principles?
4,6 (0 = Not at all
10 = Absolutely)
So is the Pakistani public divided about the US? Apparently not. Overall about
two-thirds (64%) do not trust the United States "to act responsibly in the
world." Only 27 percent feel that the cooperation between Pakistan and the
United States on security and military matters has benefited Pakistan. Most
striking, 72 percent believe the U.S. military presence in Asia is a critical
threat to Pakistan.
Iranian statistics[3]
Military and financial assistance to Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad
Iranians by nearly two-to-one approve their government providing
"military and financial assistance" to each of three militant terrorist groups
in the region:
"Lebanese Hezbollah" (Support:
61% vs. Oppose 32%)
"Hamas and Islamic Jihad" (Support:
61% vs. Oppose 32%)
Should Iran create nuclear weapons?
Support:
51% vs. Oppose 39%)

Muslim population in European prisons[11]
Estimating the percentages of Muslims in prisons across Europe is not simple. In
some cases, such as Sweden, collecting such data is illegal. In many cases, the
numbers are only estimates.
I linked to some sources, but note that not all sources have the same
reliability level. EUMAP - EU Research program[1], NEWS - mentioned in the news.
Belgium - 16% (12.8% Moroccans, 3.1%
Turks) [2], 35% [3]
(The real numbers are most likely 30-60%)
Denmark
- 20% [4] (The real numbers are most likely 30-60%)
England+Wales - 11% [5] (The real
numbers are most likely 30-60%)
France - 50%-70% [6]
Germany - 18% foreigners, lowest
estimate for Muslims - 5% [7] (The real numbers are most likely 30-60%)
Italy - 40% foreigners, 8% Moroccans
[8] (The real numbers are most likely 30-60%)
The Netherlands: 20%, youth prisons
- 26% [9] (The real numbers are most likely 30-60%)
Spain - 70% [10]
Norway
– 40%+ [12] (The real numbers are most likely 40-60%)

“We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality.”
Ayn Rand
“The root of Europe's problems is the lack of cultural self-confidence
(nationalism). Most people are still terrified of nationalistic political
doctrines thinking that if we ever embrace these principles again, new
“Hitler’s” will suddenly pop up and initiate global armageddon. Needless to say;
the growing numbers of nationalists in Europe are systematically being
ridiculed, silenced
and persecuted by the current cultural Marxist/multiculturalist political
establishments.
This irrational fear of nationalistic doctrines is preventing us from stopping
our own national/cultural suicide as the hordes of Islam is increasing
annually.“

This story is extremely serious. The European Union is now about to do what
senior officials have already agreed upon years ago in meetings with Muslim
nations, as documented by Bat Ye'or in her book about Eurabia[1]: To officially
recognise sharia law[2] in European countries:
A quote from the Gates of Vienna blog, 16 September 2008[3]
Muslims living in EU countries will in the future be able to divorce according
to sharia law. This is the belief of the EU Commission, which recommends that a
couple be able to choose which country's law they will follow if they divorce —
as long as they have some kind of connection to the country they choose. Because
of Danish opt-out provisions, the EU regulation will not have a direct impact on
Denmark. But Danish People's Party EU spokesman Morten Messerschmidt is still
greatly concerned about the proposal: "It's a completely lamebrain idea, the
possibility that the Commission will use inhumane sharia laws in the EU," he
says to MetroXpress.
A quote from Serge Trifkovic at the Chronicles Magazine blog, 16 September
2008[4]
British papers are reporting that shari'a law has been officially adopted in
Britain[5], with shari'a courts given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases,
notably including wife beating. Gordon Brown's Labour government "has quietly
sanctioned the powers for sharia judges to rule on cases ranging from divorce
and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence." Particularly
alarming is the fact that Islamic rulings are now enforceable with the full
power of the judicial system, through the county courts or High Court. […]
Contrary to the Christian concept of governmental legitimacy (Romans 13:1),
Islam condemns as rebellion against Allah's supremacy the submission to any
other form of law (Kuran, 5:50). Muslims believe that Shari'a should be used as
a standard test of validity of all positive laws. Christ recognised the realm of
human government as legitimate when he said, "Render therefore to Caesar the
things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's" (Matthew 22:21).
In Islam there is no such distinction between church and state. Shari'a is not
at all a "religious law" but a blend of political theory and penal law that
relies for the punishment of violators on the sword of the state. To be
legitimate, all political and legal power must rest with those who obey Allah's
authority and his revealed will sent down through his prophet (Kuran 5:59).
Shari'a applies to all humankind just as Kuran applies to all creation. Any law
that is inconsistent with it is null and void, not only to the Muslims, but to
all humanity. Jews, Christians, and pagans are subject to Shari'a, too, and from
Muhammad's standpoint they cannot invoke the judgments and moral principles of
prior revelations (4:60). Resort to any other source of authority is not only
unjustified, it is satanic. The non-Muslims are to be judged by the laws of
Islam in everything, "whether they like it or not, whether they come to us or
not."Shari'a stands above reason, conscience, or nature. Its lack of any
pretense to moral basis is explicit: there is no "spirit of the law" in Islam,
no discernment of the consequences of deeds. The revelation and tradition must
not be questioned or any other standard of judgment – least of all any notion of
"natural" justice inherent to men as such – can be invoked, let alone applied
(5:45).

I decided to write this essay following the riots in Malmö[1] this weekend.
Malmö is Sweden's third largest city and by far the worst city in Scandinavia
when it comes to Muslim aggression. I read recently that an
Arab girl interviewed in Malmö[2]
said that she liked it so much there, it felt almost like an Arab city. Native
Swedes have been moving away from the city for years, turned into refugees in
their own country by Jihad, not too different from the non-Muslims in some
regions of the Philippines, southern Thailand or Kashmir in India, or for that
matter Christian Serbs in Kosovo.
Sweden was presented during the Cold War as a middle way between capitalism and
Communism. When this model of a society collapses -- and it will collapse, under
the combined forces of Islamic Jihad, the European Union, multiculturalism and
ideological overstretch -- it is thus not just the Swedish state that will
collapse but the symbol of Sweden, the showcase of an entire ideological world
view. I wrote two years ago[3] that
if the trend isn't stopped, the Swedish nation will simply cease to exist in any
meaningful way during the first half of this century. The country that gave us
Bergman, ABBA and Volvo could become known as the Bosnia of northern Europe, and
the "Swedish model" will be one of warning against ideological madness, not one
of admiration. I still fear I was right in that assessment.
Jonathan Friedman[4],
an American living outside Malmö, mentions that the so-called Integration Act of
1997 proclaimed that "Sweden is a Multicultural society." Notes to the Act also
stated that "Since a large group of people have their origins in another
country, the Swedish population lacks a common history. The relationship to
Sweden and the support given to the fundamental values of society thus carry
greater significance for integration than a common historical origin."
Native Swedes have thus been reduced to just another ethnic group in Sweden,
with no more claim to the country than the Kurds or the Somalis who arrived
there last Thursday. The political authorities of the country have erased their
own people's history and culture.
Jens Orback, Minister for Democracy, Metropolitan Affairs, Integration and
Gender Equality from the Social Democratic Party said during a debate in Swedish
radio in 2004 that "We must be open and tolerant towards Islam and Muslims
because when we become a minority, they will be so towards us."
This is a government that knows perfectly well that their people will become a
minority in their own country, yet is doing nothing to stop this. On the
contrary. Pierre Schori, Minister for immigration, during a parliamentary debate
in 1997 said that: "Racism and xenophobia should be banned and chased [away],"
and that one should not accept "excuses, such as that there were flaws in the
immigration and refugee policies."
In other words: It should be viewed as a crime for the native population not to
assist in wiping themselves out.
Orback's attitude is what follows once you declare that culture is irrelevant.
Our culture, even though we try to forget it, is steeped in a Judeo-Christian
morality based on the Golden Rule of reciprocity: "Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you." (Luke 6:31)
Muslims, on the other hand, are steeped in an Islamic tradition based on Muslim
supremacy. Muslims view lack of force as a sign of weakness, and they despise
weakness, which is precisely why Adolf Hitler stated his admiration for Islam,
and thought it would be a better match for Nazism than Christianity, with its
childish notions of compassion.
A Swedish man was nearly killed for the crime of wearing clothes with his own
national flag while Sweden was participating in the 2006 football World Cup.
Some "Multicultural youths" found this to be an intolerable provocation, and the
24-year-old man was run down by a car in Malmö, where Muhammad is becoming the
most common name for newborn boys.
Feriz and Pajtim, members of Gangsta Albanian Thug Unit in Malmö, explain how
they mug people downtown. They target a lone victim. "We surround him and beat
and kick him until he no longer fights back," Feriz said. "You are always many
more people than your victims. Cowardly?" "I have heard that from many, but I
disagree. The whole point is that they're not supposed to have a chance." They
didn't express any sympathy for their victims. "If they get injured, they just
have themselves to blame for being weak," said Pajtim and shrugged.
The wave of robberies the city of Malmö has witnessed is part of a "war
against the Swedes[5]." This is the explanation given by young robbers from
immigrant background in interviews with Petra Åkesson. "When we are in the city
and robbing we are waging a war, waging a war against the Swedes." This argument
was repeated several times. "Power for me means that the Swedes shall look at
me, lie down on the ground and kiss my feet." The boys explain, laughingly, that
"there is a thrilling sensation in your body when you're robbing, you feel
satisfied and happy, it feels as if you've succeeded, it simply feels good." "We
rob every single day, as often as we want to, whenever we want to. The Swedes
don't do anything, they just give us the stuff. They're so wimpy."
"Exit Folkhemssverige - En samhällsmodells sönderfall" (Exit the People's Home
of Sweden - The Downfall of a Model of Society) is a book from 2005 about
immigration and the Swedish welfare state model dubbed "the people's home,"
written by Jonathan Friedman, Ingrid Björkman, Jan Elfverson and Åke Wedin.
According to them, the Swedish Multicultural elites see themselves first of all
as citizens of the world. In order to emphasise and accentuate diversity,
everything Swedish is deliberately disparaged. Opposition to this policy is
considered a form of racism:
"The dominant ideology in Sweden, which has been made dominant by powerful
methods of silencing and repression, is a totalitarian ideology, where the
elites oppose the national aspect of the nation state. The problem is that the
ethnic group that are described as Swedes implicitly are considered to be
nationalists, and thereby are viewed as racists."
The authors fear that the handling of the immigration policies has seriously
eroded democracy because the citizens lose their loyalty towards a state they no
longer consider their own. "Instead of increasing the active participation of
citizens, the government has placed clear restrictions on freedom of thought,
freedom of speech and freedom of congregation."
Mona Sahlin[6]
has held various posts in Social Democratic cabinets, among others as Minister
for Democracy, Integration and Gender Equality. Sahlin has said that many Swedes
are envious of immigrants because they, unlike the Swedes, have a culture, a
history, something which ties them together. Notice how Swedish authorities
first formally state that Swedes don't have a history or a culture, and then
proceed to lament the fact that Swedes don't have a history or a culture. A neat
trick.
Sahlin has also stated that: "If two equally qualified persons apply for a job
at a workplace with few immigrants, the one called Muhammad should get the job.
It should be considered an asset to have an ethnic background different from the
Swedish one." In 2004, she was quoted as
saying[7] that "A concerted effort that aims at educating Swedes that
immigrants are a blessing to their country must be pursued," stressing that her
compatriots must accept that the new society is Multicultural. "Like it or not,
this is the new Sweden."
Mona Sahlin was elected leader of the Social Democratic Party, as thus a future
contender for the post of Swedish Prime Minister, in 2007.
Why does the government dispense with the social contract and attack its own
people like this? Well, for starters, because it can. Sweden is currently
arguably the most politically repressive and totalitarian country in the Western
world. It also has the highest tax rates. That could be a a coincidence, but I'm
not sure that it is. The state has become so large and powerful that is has
become an autonomous organism with a will of its own. The people are there to
serve the state, not vice versa. And because state power penetrates every single
corner of society, including the media, there are no places left to mount a
defence if the state decides to attack you.
It has been said jokingly that while other countries are states with armies,
Pakistan is an army with a state. Likewise, it could be argued that Sweden
started out being a nation with a bureaucracy and ended up being a bureaucracy
with a nation. In fact, the bureaucracy formally abolished the very nation it
was supposed to serve. Its representatives are no longer leaders of a people,
but caretakers preoccupied only with advancing their own careers through oiling
and upholding, if possible expanding, the bureaucratic machinery.
Swedes pay the highest tax rates of any (supposedly) free nation, and for this
they get flawed social security[8],
non-existent physical security and a state apparatus dedicated to their
destruction.
Anna Ekelund[9]
in the newspaper Aftonbladet writes that: "We are a people who allow ourselves
to be insulted by the government on a daily basis. We are not expected to be
capable of thinking for ourselves, of deciding what we will read, or managing
our own money. Swedes are as co-dependent as an alcoholic's wife. Yet we do not
hurry to the ballot box to remove the prevailing systems. Not because we don't
want to but because too many of us have painted ourselves into their corners."
Moreover, Swedes are keenly aware of the fact that their country is viewed by
many outsiders as a "model society." Sweden is a deeply ideological state
dedicated to imposing a certain world view on its citizens, and because the
state is ideological, dissenters are quite literally treated as enemies of the
state.
In the book The New Totalitarians[10],
the British historian Roland Huntford in the early 1970s pointed out that
it was easier to establish the Fascist
model [11] of the corporate state in Sweden than in Mussolini's Italy for
cultural reasons, since Sweden had a centralised bureaucracy whereas Italians
are skeptical of state authority. Put simply: Swedes have tended to trust their
bureaucrats, which no Italian in his right mind would ever do.
According to him, "The Swedes have a horror of controversy as something
unpleasant, inefficient and vaguely immoral. They require for peace of mind, not
confrontation, but consensus. Consensus guides everything: private conversation,
intellectual life and the running of the State."
The then Minister of Education, Mr.
Ingvar Carlsson[12], defined the purpose of schooling: "It is to produce a
well adjusted, good member of society. It teaches people to respect the
consensus, and not to sabotage it." He also on one occasion said that "School is
the spearhead of Socialism." Mr. Carlsson was Swedish Prime Minister as late as
1996.
Mr. Carlsson's mentor in the Social Democratic Party and predecessor as Swedish
Prime Minister (1969 to 1986), Mr. Olof
Palme[13], openly flaunted his disregard, if not contempt for, Western
civilisation: "The Renaissance so-called? Western culture? What does it mean to
us?" Under the watchful eye of the Labour movement, Swedish education has for
decades mounted deliberate attacks on Western culture, making it look suspect.
According to Mr. Huntford, "When the Swedes change ideas, they do it to the
full, leaving no room for criticism or reservation. The country lacks
intellectual defences; anything new will conquer without resistance being
offered." The consensus "assumes that technological advancement is the sole path
to happiness, and the Gross National Product the only measure of national
success. It also assumes that the good of the collective at all times must take
precedence over the good of the individual. It prescribes that the fundamentals
of Swedish society must never be questioned or discussed."
This is how Mrs Maj Bossom-Nordboe, then departmental chief of at the
Directorate of Schools, expressed it: "It's useless to build up individuality,
because unless people learned to adapt themselves to society, they would be
unhappy. Liberty is not emphasised. Instead, we talk about the freedom to give
up freedom. The accent is on the social function of children, and I will not
deny that we emphasise the collective."
Roland Huntford ended his book with a warning that
this system of soft-totalitarianism could
be exported[14] to other countries. He has been proven right since:
"The Swedes have demonstrated how present techniques can be applied in ideal
conditions. Sweden is a control experiment on an isolated and sterilised
subject. Pioneers in the new totalitarianism, the Swedes are a warning of what
probably lies in store for the rest of us, unless we take care to resist control
and centralisation, and unless we remember that politics are not to be
delegated, but are the concern of the individual. The new totalitarians, dealing
in persuasion and manipulation, must be more efficient than the old, who
depended upon force."
Following the September 2006 elections,
Fredrik Reinfeldt[15] became Prime Minister of Sweden, presiding over a
center-right coalition government. This is, in my view, positive. Sweden has
been described by some as a "one-party state," since the Social Democrats have
been in power for 65 of the last 74 years. However, the differences between the
left-wing and the right-wing in Sweden are not always that big.
The last time these parties were in power, under the leadership of
PM Carl Bildt[16] from 1991 to 94,
they presided over massive immigration, and have not been vocal in their
opposition to the Multicultural policies since. The new Foreign Minister Bildt
as a UN Commissioner to the Balkans called for recognising Islam as a part of
European culture.
PM Reinfeldt has stated that the original Swedish culture was merely barbarism:
"It can sometimes be good to humbly remind of the fact that a great deal of what
constitutes Sweden has been created in [a process of] evolution, exactly because
we have been open to accept other people and experiences."
Reinfeldt said this following a visit to an area called Ronna in Södertälje,
near Stockholm. One year earlier a police station in Södertälje was hit by shots
from an automatic weapon following a major confrontation between immigrant
youths and police. The trouble in Ronna started after a Swedish girl had been
called a "whore" and reacted to this. Ethnologist Maria Bäckman, in her study
"Whiteness and gender," has followed a group of Swedish girls in the immigrant
suburb of Rinkeby outside Stockholm. Bäckman relates that several of the blond
Swedish girls stated that they had dyed their hair to avoid sexual harassment.
I have called Sweden a soft-totalitarian country, but I am sometimes not so sure
about the "soft" part. Opinion polls have revealed that two out of three Swedes
doubt whether Islam can be combined with Swedish society, and a very significant
proportion of the population have for years wanted more limitations on
immigration. Yet not one party represented in Parliament is genuinely critical
of the Multicultural society.
Is it just a coincidence that the one country on the European continent that has
avoided war for the longest period of time, Sweden, is also arguably the one
Western nation where Political Correctness has reached the worst heights? Maybe
the prolonged period of peace has created an environment where layers of
ideological nonsense have been allowed to pile up for generations without stop.
I don't know what Sweden will look like a generation from now, but I'm pretty
sure it won't be viewed as a model society. And if the absence of war is one of
the causes of its current weakness, I fear that is a problem that will soon be
cured.

As German journalist Henryk Broder put it[1] after the 2006 riots over the
Danish cartoons of Muhammad: "Objectively speaking, the cartoon controversy was
a tempest in a teacup. But subjectively it was a show of strength and, in the
context of the 'clash of civilisations,' a dress rehearsal for the real thing.
The Muslims demonstrated how quickly and effectively they can mobilise the
masses, and the free West showed that it has nothing to counter the offensive --
nothing but fear, cowardice and an overriding concern about the balance of
trade. Now the Islamists know that they are dealing with a paper tiger whose
roar is nothing but a tape recording."
In 2008, three years after the cartoons were first published, the matter is
still very much alive[2] in the minds of many Muslims. More than 200 lawmakers
shouted "Death to the enemies of Islam" during an angry demonstration[3] outside
the Afghan parliament, protesting the reprinting of the cartoons in Denmark and
the release of the Islam-critical film Fitna by the Dutch politician Wilders. At
the same time, Danish aid is helping schools to re-open[4] in Afghanistan, even
though critics say the curriculum is based on fundamentalist Islam. A campaign
to boycott Danish and Dutch products was launched in Jordan. The campaign will
include ads in newspapers and on radio and television that urge consumers to
avoid buying named goods. The organisation, "The Messenger of Allah Unites Us,"
have produced t-shirts, bumper stickers and posters with the campaign logo "Live
without it."
"[Danish] Muslim organisations intend to take the case[5] to the European Court
of Human Rights," Muslim leader Mohammed Khalid Samha told IslamOnline, the
large English language website founded by Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader
Yusuf al-Qaradawi, after a Danish court rejected a suit by seven Muslim groups.
"We were quite sure that the Danish judiciary would not be fair to Muslims,"
said Samha. Meanwhile, two Tunisian men were arrested and charged[6] with
plotting the murder of Jyllands-Posten
cartoonist Kurt Westergaard.
As Bruce Bawer[7], author of the book
While Europe Slept, puts it in the essay
Courage and Cowardice in Scandinavia[8]
from June 2008, following a bomb in Pakistan targeting Denmark:
"When a car bomb exploded outside Denmark's embassy in Islamabad on June 2,
killing eight, it was easy to guess who had done it and why. Sure enough, some
days later al-Qaeda took credit and confirmed its motive: the now-infamous
Muhammed cartoons. Originally published in the
Jyllands-Posten daily on September
30, 2005, they were reprinted by a raft of Danish dailies last February 13 in a
show of solidarity with turban-bomb cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, the target of
three would-be assassins who had been arrested the day before. Presumably this
rather surprising action — the Danish media, generally speaking, have given
Jyllands-Posten a rough time for the
past three years for upsetting the Muslims — was the immediate cause for the
bombing."
"Blasphemy" against Islam potentially carries the death penalty according to
sharia law. In June 2008, a Pakistani judge sentenced a Muslim man to death[9]
on charges that he insulted Islam's Prophet Muhammad.
In contrast to Denmark's defiance, other Scandinavian countries surrendered to
Islamic pressure as fast as humanly possible. Bawer again:
"Sweden took another route. When a political website featured a
Jyllands-Posten cartoon, the
government sent police to close it down. More recently, hit with his own cartoon
crisis involving artist Lars Vilks, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt not only
met Muslim ambassadors, but was praised by one for his 'spirit of appeasement.'
Norway didn't cover itself in glory, either. On the pretext that a tiny
newspaper, Magazinet, had reprinted
the Jyllands-Posten cartoons (never
mind that major dailies in Spain, Germany, and France had done so as well), the
cartoon jihadists chose to target Norway as well, plainly betting that the
dialogue-happy, UN-worshipping 'peace country' would curb its freedoms at the
first hint of Muslim displeasure. They were right. Norway's government caved in
ignominiously, holding a press conference on February 10, 2006, at which
Magazinet's cowed editor, Vebjørn
Selbekk, with the blessing of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, grovelled before
a posse of imams and apologised to them for exercising his freedom of speech. It
was probably the most disgraceful day in modern Norwegian history, but you
wouldn't know it by the politicians and journalists, who celebrated this selling
out of freedom as a triumph of peacemaking."
Selbekk, editor of the small Christian newspaper
Magazinet, had firmly resisted
pressure from Muslims who had made death threats and from the Norwegian
establishment. But eventually Norway's Minister of Labour and Social Inclusion
Bjarne Håkon Hanssen hastily called a press conference at a major government
office building in Oslo. There Selbekk issued an abject apology for reprinting
the cartoons. At his side[10], accepting his act of contrition and asking that
all threats now be withdrawn, was Mohammed Hamdan, the then head of Norway's
Islamic Council. As Bawer indicates, it was a picture right out of a sharia
courtroom, with the Muslim leader declaring Selbekk to be henceforth under his
protection.
In a Friday sermon on February 3 2006, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the spiritual leader
of the Muslim Brotherhood, the world's largest Islamic organisation, exhorted
worshippers to show rage[11] in response to the cartoons. The sermon was aired
on TV. The day after, the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Syria were set
ablaze by an angry mob. It should be mentioned here that both Norway and Denmark
are members of NATO and that destroying an embassy could be considered an act of
war, or certainly very close to it. A few days later, a delegation led by Mr.
Mohammed Hamdan of Norway's Islamic Council and a senior pastor representing
Oslo's bishop visited Qatar to meet Mr. Qaradawi. The trip received support from
the Norwegian government. Yusuf al-Qaradawi then accepted the apology that
Vebjørn Selbekk had issued on February 10.
Walid al-Kubaisi, a Muslim dissident living in Norway, warned that Yusuf
al-Qaradawi is more dangerous than the terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, and
that the Muslim Brotherhood, whose founder Qaradawi followed when he was young,
wants the world to submit to sharia. Kubaisi reacted strongly to the statement
by Mr. Hamdan that he would now give Mr. Selbekk protection: "It frightens me
that he presents himself as an authority that can grant or revoke protection.
Does this mean that [Minister] Bjarne Håkon Hanssen thinks that the next time I
feel threatened because of something I have written, I should contact the
Islamic Council, not the police? Sadly, the government, in their eagerness to
end the current troubles, have made the authoritarian forces stronger." Kubaisi
feared[12] that Islamic hardliners would from now on burn something every time
they felt offended about anything, and expect to get their will.
Trond Giske[13], Minister of Culture and Church Affairs from the Labour Party,
met with Mohammed Hamdan of Norway's Islamic Council a few months after the
embassy attacks and announced that government subsidies for the Islamic Council
would be raised from 60,000 kroner a year to half a million. That's more than a
700% increase in a single year. The government declared it would meet more
frequently with the Islamic Council to "improve dialogue." Its leader Hamdan
smiled after having talked with Mr. Giske for about one hour. "We're pretty
pleased with the meeting. For us it's important to improve contacts with the
government so that we can get to know each other better."
The status given to non-Muslims who accept being second-rate citizens, dhimmis,
under Islamic rule is technically referred to as "protected." During the Cartoon
Jihad, the left-wing coalition government demonstrated in public that Norwegian
authorities did not control the security of their citizens, and thus had to
accept Muslim intervention to secure their safety. This amounted to the
acceptance of Islamic rule according to sharia law, a view which was
subsequently strengthened by payments to Muslims at home and abroad. Undoubtedly
these payments offered by Mr. Giske on behalf of the government were viewed by
Muslims as jizya, the "protection money" non-Muslims are required to pay in
willing submission (Koran, 9:29) as a sign of their inferior status vis-à-vis
Islam, as a compensation for not being slain.
Mohammed Hamdan also participated during a meeting with members of the
Palestinian terrorist organisation Hamas at Stortinget, the Norwegian
parliament, in the summer of 2006. According to him, he was only an interpreter,
but his brother Osama Hamdan is a member of parliament for Hamas in the
Palestinian Territories.
Norway in 2007 became first Western country to recognise the then Hamas-led
Palestinian government and to make the first transfer of direct financial aid to
it. The popular Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre of the Labour Party urged
others to follow. Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
They state this explicitly in their charter, which means that the left-wing
government of PM Jens Stoltenberg was willing to fund an organisation whose
spiritual leader had recently caused physical attacks against their country and
is waging a war against their civilisation. This was applauded by most Norwegian
media commentators.
FM Gahr Støre participated in a conference with participants from dozens of
countries and media outlets on how to "report diversity" in a non-offensive
manner, with Arab News from Saudi Arabia as a moderator. The Cartoon Jihad had
prompted Indonesia and Norway to join forces and promote a Global Inter-Media
Dialogue. In June 2007 this was held in Oslo.
Keynote speaker at the conference, Doudou Diène[14], the United Nations Special
Envoy for racism, xenophobia and intolerance, urged the media to actively
participate in the creation of a Multicultural society[15], and expressed
concerns that the democratic process could lead to immigration-restrictive
parties gaining influence. Mr. Diène represents Senegal, a predominantly Muslim
country which is a member of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC),
the largest voting bloc at the United Nations.
There were already signs that large portions of the mainstream media had been
working according to similar ideas long before this conference. In Britain,
leading figures of the BBC have proudly announced that they actively promote
multiculturalism. In Denmark in 2008, while their country was threatened by
Muslims across the world, public broadcaster Danmarks Radio, the local
equivalent of the BBC and with the same left-wing Multicultural bias, decided to
hold a "Miss Headscarf" beauty contest for women with the only requirement being
that they are over 15 and wear a veil, the way Muslim women are supposed to do.
As American scholar Dr. Daniel Pipes notes[16], "Self-hating Westerners have an
out-sized importance due to their prominent role as shapers of opinion in
universities, the media, religious institutions, and the arts. They serve as the
Islamists' auxiliary mujahideen."
Following new threats in Denmark[17], the regional Norwegian daily
Adresseavisen in 2008 decided to show
solidarity with the Danish cartoonists. As Bruce Bawer writes:
"Trondheim's Adresseavisen daily ran
a cartoon which, though not depicting Muhammed, angered 'moderate' Muslim lawyer
Abid Q. Raja, who – apparently feeling that
Adresseavisen had obeyed the word but
not the spirit of the Magazinet
accords – argued that the cartoon shouldn't have been published because it would
be 'misunderstood' by Muslims. Pakistani ambassador Rab Nawaz Khan agreed,
calling the cartoon an 'act of terror' that can 'endanger the lives of Norwegian
citizens.' When a cartoon is terrorism and a bomb is a form of expression,
you're in Orwell country. Yet the star of the moment was Norwegian novelist Dag
Solstad, who only days before the bombing delivered what you might call Norway's
version of Rowan Williams's sharia lecture. Solstad didn't go in for sharia
explicitly – instead, he made the argument that free speech is actually
undesirable, since it drowns meritorious works (such as his novels, presumably)
in a sea of vulgarity (a category to which he relegated the Muhammed cartoons).
Solstad's colleagues offered polite demurrals."
Mr. Solstad, with a history of long and strong sympathies for various Communist
movements, is not unique. By the time these words are written, many Norwegian
observers and intellectuals have criticised "free speech fundamentalists" in the
major media.
Is there no opposition to these views? Fortunately, there is. Per Edgar
Kokkvold, Secretary-General of the Norwegian Press Association, deserves credit
for his principled opposition to censorship (which earned him several death
threats). A book by a former MP for the Conservative Party, Hallgrim Berg, warns
against plans to turn Europe into Eurabia. He discusses the growing
anti-Americanism in Europe and maintains that the United States is the only
power capable of securing freedom. In 2005 the police issued a mobile security
alarm to the then leader of the right-wing Progress Party, Carl I. Hagen. Hagen
criticised Islam and could see no similarity with the concept of morality found
in Christianity. He said that if Israel loses in the Middle East, Europe will
succumb to Islam next. He thinks that Christians should support Israel and
oppose Islamic inroads into Europe. In an unprecedented step, a group of Muslim
ambassadors blasted Hagen in a public letter. Other politicians quickly caved in
and condemned Mr. Hagen, including then Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik of
the Christian Democrats. In 2008, the Progress Party looks set to replace the
Labour Party as the largest party in the country, for the first time in
generations.
You can find pockets of resistance in Norway (and to a lesser extent Sweden),
but the general picture is rather bleak. Denmark is currently the only
Scandinavian country with something resembling a spine, but Danes compensate for
this by being one of the leading countries in the Western world in opposing
Islamisation.

Jeremy Clarkson heads the program “Top Gear” at the BBC, one of the funniest
shows on TV. Since it has absolutely nothing to do with politics or religion,
only with cars, it is one of the very few programs at the Burka Broadcasting
Corporation still worth seeing.
I have to disagree with Clarkson regarding the English national flag, though.
Discrediting national flags as signs of “bigotry” is happening all over the
Western world[1].
And no, you are not being robbed of pride in your national heritage because of
your colonial history. I’m Norwegian. We don’t have a colonial history, yet we
are still subject to similar attacks[2]. They don’t do this because you are
English, they do this because you are Westerners and — dare I say? —
white. British colonial history is just a convenient excuse.
From the Times Online[3],
“We’ve been robbed of our Englishness”:
Today, things are rather different. Mention the war and you’ll be told by an
outreach counsellor that we must empathise with the Germans, who are coming to
terms with their mistakes of the past. “And you know, children, it was actually
the British who invented concentration camps . . .”
Empire? When I was at school, teachers spoke with pride about how a little
island in the north Atlantic turned a quarter of the world pink, but now all
teachers talk about is the slave trade and how we must hang our heads in shame.
Right. So we must forgive Germany for invading Poland. But I must beat myself to
death every night because my great-great-great-grandad moved some chap from a
hellhole in Ghana to Barbados. In fact I can’t even say we’re British any more
because then all of Scotland would rush over the border, pour porridge down my
trousers and push a thistle up my bottom.
I believe people need to feel like they’re part of a gang, part of a tribe. And
I also believe we need to feel pride in our gang. But all we ever hear now is
that we in England have nothing to be proud about. In a world of righteousness
we are the child molesters and rapists.
Our soldiers were murderers. Our empire builders were thieves. Our class system
was ridiculous and our industrial revolution set in motion a chain of events
that, eventually, will kill every polar bear in the Arctic.
And it gets so much worse. Because if you say you are a patriot, men with beards
and sandals will come round to your house in the night and daub BNP slogans on
your front door. This is the only country in the world where the national flag
is deemed offensive […]
Then there’s our national character. In the past, boys were told in school
assembly that their mothers had died and were expected to get over it in a nice
game of rugby. Crying only happened abroad. Not any more. We were ordered to
weep like Americans when Diana died, and no local news report is complete today
without some fat oik sobbing because his house has fallen over[…]
Do you see? We can’t be proud of our past because it’s all bad, we can’t use
British humour because it’s offensive and we can’t use understatement to deal
with a crisis because the army of state-sponsored counsellors say we’ve got to
sob uncontrollably at every small thing.

By Fjordman
Let us consider the case of the Netherlands. Islamic practices there gain more
and more public acceptance. There is talk of making Islamic holidays public
holidays because Holland is a “Judeo-Christian-Islamic” society, whatever that
is. There are plans for a Muslim-only hospital[1], and former Justice Minister
Piet Hein Donner[2] stated that the Dutch should give Muslims more freedoms to
behave according to their traditions: “For me it is clear: if two-thirds of the
Dutch population should want to introduce the Sharia tomorrow, then the
possibility should exist,” according to him. “It would be a disgrace to say:
‘That is not allowed!’“
The idea is by no means far-fetched. Unofficial sharia courts have been
operating for years in major European cities and gradually gain official
acceptance. In September 2008 it was made known that British authorities will
formally accept rulings of sharia courts on certain matters. This means that
Britain has not just culturally but also legally surrendered to its new Muslim
masters. The political elites will put up no resistance whatsoever to continued
Islamisation.
Britain is one of the worst countries in the Western world, which says a lot
given how bad many others are, but it belongs to a growing group of nations
where the authorities have more or less surrendered to Islamic rule, openly
promote Islamic “culture”, and harass those who resist. One could add Sweden,
the Netherlands, Belgium, and probably France to the list, which keeps growing.
Norway, Spain, Austria, Germany and others are not far behind.
The Netherlands, which for centuries was a haven for those seeking more freedom
of thought, is becoming an increasingly totalitarian society as a direct result
of mass immigration in general and Muslim immigration in particular. This is the
reason why the insightful Hans Janssen, Professor of Modern Islamic Ideology at
Utrecht University, stated that a peaceful society that wishes to remain
existent “will have to find a way to defend itself through non-peaceful means
from people who are not peaceful.” According to Jansen, Muslim fundamentalists
frequently make threats, but Dutch media remain silent[3] about them.
Public broadcaster NPS[4] is producing a television programme with the objective
of giving the Dutch population a positive view of Muslims and other immigrant
groups. Meanwhile, in 2008 it was revealed that a policeman of Moroccan origins
in the Rotterdam police corps has been unmasked as a spy for the Moroccan
intelligence service. He led a project that trained 57 Moroccan problem
youngsters as ground personnel for Rotterdam Airport. The Public Prosecutor’s
Office (OM) decided not to prosecute him, allegedly because this could
potentially generate negative publicity about the “Multicultural” society. Even
after this was revealed, the policeman unmasked as a spy for a foreign country
continued[5] working at Rotterdam Airport. The airport management saw no reason
to refuse him a job.
In contrast, the Dutch Labour Party (PvdA) tried to muzzle[6] a (then) member
who was fighting for the rights of Muslim apostates because they feared he would
cause the party electoral damage. As most other left-wing parties in the Western
world, they get a disproportionate number of immigrant votes. The man in
question, the brave ex-Muslim Ehsan Jami[7], in the spring of 2008 decided to
close down his organisation of former Muslims who defy the traditional death
penalty for leaving Islam. He claims people are scared to join the organisation
because of threats from Muslims.
Slotervaart[8], a Moroccan neighbourhood in Amsterdam, has been plagued by riots
and arson. Just as in similar areas in Sweden, France, England and elsewhere,
emergency personnel from the fire brigade and ambulance services are at risk of
physical attacks when they enter. Western Europe’s major cities have become
notorious for their rapidly expanding “no-go” zones, from Birmingham, London and
Bradford via Marseilles, Paris, Antwerp and Brussels to Copenhagen, Berlin and
Hamburg. There are now many areas into which even the police dare not venture
without substantial backup. In certain urban areas the fire brigade and
ambulance services are reluctant to answer calls in Muslim neighbourhoods, where
“youths” set fire to public buildings, and then lay an ambush for the fire
brigade when it arrives.
In mid-September 2008, the bus service in the Dutch town of Gouda announced it
would not drive though the Oosterwei[9] neighbourhood. The decision came
following complaints from bus drivers who report that on their route through the
neighbourhood they are being spit on, threatened and robbed by Moroccan youth,
who systematically kick against the buses as well.
It has earlier been revealed that Moroccans, Turks and other Muslims in the
Netherlands receive direction from their home countries. Ethnic Turks have
received instructions from Turkey on how to vote in Dutch elections.
Also in mid-September 2008, politician Geert Wilders[10] said during a speech in
Parliament that Moroccans are colonising the Netherlands. According to Wilders,
Moroccans didn’t come there to integrate, but “to subjugate the Dutch” and rule
over them. “We lose our nation to Moroccan scum who go through life while
abusing, spitting and molesting innocent people,” Wilders stated. “They happily
accept our dole, houses and doctors, but not our rules and values”, he said.
According to him there are “two nations.” The cabinet’s nation is that of
“climate hysterics and uncontrollable Islamisation.” The other nation, “my
nation,” Geert Wilders said, “is that of the people who have to foot the bill
and are being robbed and threatened by Islamic street terrorists.”
Seven minutes after the speech began, “a technical error” occurred in the
television broadcast which was mysteriously solved the very second Wilders
finished his speech. The state TV is notoriously biased in their
pro-Multicultural opinions and belief that Wilders is evil.
As I wrote in my online essay “Democracy and the Media
Bias[11]”, in democratic societies the press, the
Fourth Estate, should supposedly make sure that the government does its job
properly as well as raise issues of public interest. In practice, we now seem to
have a situation where the political elites cooperate with the media on making
sure that some topics receive insufficient or unbalanced attention while others
are simply kept off the agenda altogether. Together they form a new political
class.
Before the rise of maverick politician Pim Fortuyn[12],
the Dutch political scene had to a great extent been a closed club whose
members, regardless of party affiliation, shared similar views in the widest
possible sense. Most of the journalists belonged to the same club. If the
majority of the populace didn’t quite agree with this elite on sensitive issues
— and the most sensitive of them all was Muslim immigration — this hardly
mattered much. Since all those who were in positions of power were in basic
agreement, the will of the people could safely be ignored. Journalists and rival
politicians — notice how they worked in lockstep — smeared Fortuyn as a
dangerous “right-wing extremist.” Indirectly, this led to his murder by a
left-wing activist who stated that he killed him on behalf of Muslims because he
was “dangerous” to minorities.
Pim Fortuyn was indirectly murdered by the political,
cultural and media elites whereas filmmaker Theo van Gogh was murdered by
Muslims. MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been driven from the country. The Islam-critical
MP Geert Wilders is still there, but he is subject to similar smears as Fortuyn
was about being a racist, receives daily threats from Muslims and not-so-subtle
hints from the establishment that he should tone down his criticism of Muslim
immigration. The Dutch spirit between 2001 and 2008 appears to have been broken,
as things are slowly returning to normal. The extended political elites are once
again firmly in control of public debate, and the embarrassing peasant rebellion
has been successfully struck down.
Perhaps Holland’s chance of saving itself died with
Fortuyn. I hope not. I have always loved the Netherlands, and it would be
extremely sad if a once-great nation that has spent so much time and energy on
keeping the sea out will be destroyed by a tidal wave of sharia barbarism.
In May 2008 the cartoonist writing under the pseudonym
Gregorius Nekschot[13] became the first-ever
cartoonist to be arrested in the modern Western world. He was arrested at his
home in Amsterdam and taken into custody for interrogation, suspected of
“publishing cartoons which are discriminating for Muslims and people with dark
skin.” At the same time, the city of Amsterdam developed teaching material[14]
warning children against the politics of the Islam-critical politician Geert
Wilders. MP Wilders called the campaign “sickening.”
Wilders’ movie Fitna from March 2008 produced
strong reactions from Muslims on a global basis and condemnations from dhimmi
appeasers in the Western world. Although the short film didn’t do anything other
than quote the Koran and statements by Muslim leaders, the United Nations
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon[15] condemned it as
offensively anti-Islamic. “There is no justification for hate speech or
incitement to violence,” Ban said in a statement. “The right of free expression
is not at stake here.” The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour[16]
joined in on condemning the tone and content of Fitna and noted that the
Dutch and others should prohibit any advocacy of racial or religious hatred that
constitutes incitement to discrimination or hostility. In plain words, they
should ban criticism of Islam.
There are already examples where small Dutch websites[17]
have been prosecuted for carrying readers’ comments critical of Islam and
Muslims, thus setting a legal precedent for the suppression of free speech on
the Internet[18]. This despite the fact that far
more offensive material is routinely posted on Islamic online forums and is
never subjected to any punishment. Similar developments are taking place in
other European countries. This is encouraged not only by national authorities
but by EU officials, who have expressed their desire to “regulate” blogs and
similar websites more because they are often more critical of multiculturalism,
mass immigration and general EU policies than are the mainstream media.
What this means is that Dutch authorities are giving in
to demands from Islamic countries and kneel at the feet of their new Muslim
masters. There can be no doubt that there is considerable political pressure on
the police and others to enforce Multicultural speech codes and silence
dissenters among the natives. Since we see clearly that Muslims can post
negative remarks about the natives, but the natives are not allowed to post
negative remarks about Islamic culture, this means that the natives are de facto
second-rate citizens in their own country. This is coincidentally the status
that they are supposed to have according to sharia, which means that the
authorities are now enforcers of Islamic law.
Some observers say that the political elites in Western Europe are “powerless”
to stop street violence. But they are aggressive in suppressing criticism of
continued mass immigration, which indicates that they are not so much powerless
as actively hostile to the natives.
In Brussels, Belgium, gangs of Muslim immigrants harass the natives on a daily
basis. We have had several recent cases where native girls have been gang raped
by immigrants in the heart of the EU capital, yet when
the natives wanted to protest against the Islamisation of their continent on
September 11th 2007, the demonstration was banned by the Socialist mayor of
Brussels, whose ruling party is heavily infiltrated by Muslims. Those who
attempted to carry on with a peaceful protest were arrested by the police.
Dozens[19] of boys and
girls have been systematically abused, intimidated and molested by a group of
older boys in the Utrecht neighbourhood of Overvecht. Children aged 8, 9 and 10
have been dragged into bushes and coerced into performing sexual acts on boys a
few years older. Most of the children involved are of Moroccan background. A
municipal council member said that the problems are not being addressed. “This
has been going on for almost a year. People just talk and talk and talk. And
nothing is done,” she said.
In March 2007, native Dutch residents of the city of
Utrecht rioted to protest against harassment by Muslim youths and government
inaction to stop this. The authorities immediately suppressed the riots by
sealing off the area and installing surveillance cameras to control Dutch
non-Muslims, but they have done virtually nothing to address the underlying
problem of violence from immigrant gangs. The case is far from unique.
Such incidents demonstrate that the authorities
throughout Western Europe are now dedicated to implementing continued mass
immigration and multiculturalism no matter what the natives think. If they
object, they will be silenced. The Dutch voted “no” by a very large margin to
the proposed EU Constitution that will formally dismantle their country, as did
Irish and French voters, but they are simply ignored. At the same time, the EU
elites obediently respond to calls from Islamic countries to ban “stereotypes
and prejudice” targeting Islam. European political elites implement the agendas
of our enemies and ignore the interests of their own people. They are thus
collaborators and traitors and should be treated accordingly.
The interesting question is this: Are the elites merely
appeasing Islam, which they certainly are doing, or are they actively promoting
and expropriating it for their own ends? As Iranian ex-Muslim Ali Sina puts it
in his excellent book Understanding Muhammad: “Islam was an instrument of
domination. After Muhammad, others used his cult for the very same purpose.”
Maybe this is happening in the EU as well?
Ali Sina rejects the Multicultural concept that all
cultures (except European culture, which is evil and should be eradicated) are
worth keeping:
“If any culture needs to be preserved, it is the Western,
Helleno-Christian culture. It is this culture that is facing extinction. It is
to this culture alone that we owe the Enlightenment, Renaissance, and democracy.
These are the foundations of our modern world. It would be a terrible mistake
not to preserve this culture. If we do nothing, we face a future where democracy
and tolerance will fade and Islam’s more primitive instincts will subjugate
humanity. All cultures are not made equal… Islam is not a culture. It is the
antithesis of culture. It is barbarity, savagery and incivility. Islamic
civilisation is an oxymoron, while Islamic terrorism is redundancy. We owe our
freedom and modern civilisation to Western culture. It is this culture that is
now under attack and needs protection.”
As I put it in my essay “The
Welfare State is Dead, Long Live the Welfare State[20]“,
Americans say “In God we trust.” Is the welfare state, on some deep,
subconscious level, a substitute for God? An omnipresent State instead of an
omnipresent God? Europeans lost belief in God in Auschwitz and the trenches of
WW1. We no longer trust in God, so we put our trust in the State, to create a
small oasis of security on a continent that has had such a turbulent history.
The slogan is “security from cradle to grave.” But right
now the welfare state clearly does not provide financial or physical security in
much of Western Europe, at least not for the natives. It pays for more cradles
to Muslim immigrants while it leads some of the natives prematurely to their
graves. Taxes are a form of disguised jizya, the poll tax paid by
submissive non-Muslims under Islamic rule, taken from us and given to those who
colonise our lands.
The welfare state breeds passivity and obedience to the
state’s agenda since so many are dependent upon it for their livelihoods. For
rulers, this can be quite useful. The stated purpose of the welfare state is to
alleviate poverty, but we should remember that a powerful state bureaucracy
which deals with all aspects of life leaves a great deal of power to those on
top of that bureaucracy, ruling people who have been pacified and emasculated by
decades of state indoctrination and interference in their private lives. I
suspect one of the reasons why Europeans put up with a powerful EU bureaucracy
running much of Europe’s affairs is that we have already been accustomed to this
on a national level.
My advice to Westerners in general is to arm themselves
immediately, first of all mentally with knowledge of the enemy and pride in
their own culture and heritage, but also physically with guns and the skills to
use them. Friedrich Nietzsche stated in the nineteenth century that “God is
dead.” In the early twenty-first century it would be fair to say that “The State
is dead,” the replacement God in which we placed our trust after the other God
died.
Every single day we get more evidence that the
authorities are totally incapable of protecting any semblance of security and
freedom for its citizens. The only thing the state still seems to be capable of
doing is indoctrinating our children with hatred of their own civilisation and
taking away our money so that it can be given to those who colonise our
countries and abuse our children, verbally and physically.
My bet is still on Britain, or possibly Denmark, as the first Western country to
face a civil war due to Muslim immigration, but the
Netherlands is a potential candidate as well. I just wonder whether the Dutch
are already a broken nation, mentally speaking. Their political elites have
chosen formal surrender and will enforce sharia and ban everybody disagreeing
with this as “extremists”. Native Dutchmen will either have to fight back or
leave their country behind and watch it die from a distance, as a significant
number of them have already done.
What is happening in Western Europe now is a textbook
case of a situation where the social contract is no longer upheld. The natives
pay extremely high tax rates to nation states that no longer protect their
borders and are both unwilling and incapable of upholding a bare minimum of law
and order. The laws are in any case no longer passed with our interest in mind,
but by dedicated Multiculturalists and Globalists specifically hostile to our
interests. The European Union is the very definition of tyranny.
As John Locke says in the Second Treatise on
Government:
The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property, and
the end why they choose and authorise a legislative is that there may be laws
made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members
of the society, to limit the power and moderate the dominion of every part and
member of the society… whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and
destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary
power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people… By this breach
of trust they forfeit the power the people had put into their hands for quite
contrary ends, and it devolves to the people, who have a right to resume their
original liberty, and, by the establishment of a new legislative, (such as they
shall think fit) provide for their own safety and security, which is the end for
which they are in society.
Thomas Jefferson stated that “I hold it, that a little
rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political
world as storms in the physical.” He also said that “Laws that forbid the
carrying of arms… disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to
commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the
assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an
unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
We would do well to heed those words.

By Fjordman
In May 2008, the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso[1],
stated that Islam is part and parcel of Europe and condemned the concept of a
clash of civilisations. “Islam today is part of Europe. It is important to
understand this. One should not see Islam as outside Europe. We already have an
important presence of Islam and Muslims among our citizens,” Barroso told a
press conference after a dialogue between EU leaders and twenty high-level
representatives of Christianity, Judaism and Islam in Europe. The Grand Mufti of
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Dr. Mustafa Ceric, responded that Islam is indeed part of
Europe but unfortunately Turkey is not yet part of Europe. “Following this logic
Europe has to prove that Islam is part of Europe by not delaying the acceptance
of Turkey to the EU,” he said.
I find this especially sad since Mr. Barroso, prior to becoming the unelected
leader of the EU, was Prime Minister of Portugal, a country that was for
centuries under the Islamic yoke. Do the Portuguese miss their past status as
dhimmis? The reaction of the Nordic countries to mass immigration and Muslim
intimidation, with the exception of Denmark, has been pathetic. I’m certainly
not proud of it, but at the very least countries such as Norway, Finland and the
Baltic nations have had little historical exposure to Muslims. The Portuguese
and the Spanish do not have this excuse, after centuries of Islamic occupation
and hard struggles to regain control over their lands, which makes their current
actions all the more difficult to understand.
Observer Soeren Kern[2] thinks that “Since Spanish Socialists (more often than
not) have trouble winning arguments on their own merit, the preferred tactic is
to demonise their opponents instead.” He’s undoubtedly correct about that,
although I do no see how that makes Spanish Socialists different from their
counterparts elsewhere. According to Kern:
“Italian voters in April [2008] returned Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to a
third term[3] in office. The center-right leader was given a strong mandate to
crack down on runaway immigration and spiraling street crime, two hot-button
issues that are intrinsically linked[4], not just in the minds of Italians, but
in those of many other Europeans too, especially in Spain. As a result, Spanish
Socialists are (rightly) worried that Berlusconi’s get-tough approach will
jeopardise their own fantastical vision of turning Europe into a post-modern
multicultural utopia. It therefore comes as no big surprise that Spanish
Socialist Deputy Prime Minister María Teresa Fernández de la Vega[5], who is
also commonly known as Spain’s high-priestess of political correctness, recently
lashed out[6] at the no-nonsense immigration policies of the new Italian
government. Her pontifical rebuke[7] declared that the Spanish executive
‘rejects violence, racism and xenophobia, and therefore cannot agree with what
is happening in Italy.’” Moreover, “By rewarding illegal immigrants with Spanish
(and thus European) documentation, Zapatero has unleashed what is known as the
‘call effect[8]’ to people as far away as Kashmir who now believe that Spain is
an easy gateway into Europe.”
Gustavo de Aristegui[9],
the foreign affairs spokesman for the conservative (but in my view still a bit
too soft) Popular Party, explains in his book The Jihad in Spain: The
obsession to reconquer Al-Ándalus[10] that, in
schools throughout the Muslim world, maps are used with Spain and Portugal
coloured green because they are still considered part of dar al-Islam, or
the House of Islam. According to antiterrorist sources, eight Jihadist groups[11]
have settled in Spain, located mostly in Catalonia, Madrid, Andalusia and
Valencia. Their threat is real, since most of these sleeping cells “can be
activated at any time and perpetrate criminal attacks.”
As AMDG from the blog La Yijad en Eurabia[12]
says: “The fact that Spain is one of the targets of the Third Jihad is not
surprising. Muslims have the religious obligation to expand Islam — mostly
political Islam; conversion can be forced later on in many ways — and in
particular they have the compelling obligation to retrieve those lands on which
Islam once ruled. Al Andalus — that is Spain, and not only the south of Spain,
the modern Andalucía — was once under Mohammedan yoke and is therefore among the
priorities of the Jihad. The answer by Spaniards to this threat cannot be more
discouraging. Spanish government withdrew its troops from Iraq immediately after
the first terrorist attack, even if they were not combat troops. Their next
initiative was the proposal of the Alliance of Civilisations.”
The Socialist PM José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero was swept
to power by the Jihadist terrorist train bombings in Madrid in March 2004, the
largest peacetime attacks in Spain’s modern history. He has been surrendering
his country to Muslims and mass immigration every day since then. Zapatero, who
has said[13] that “sexual equality is a lot more
effective against terrorism than military strength,” appointed a pregnant woman
as Minister of Defence in April 2008, thus making a mockery of his armed forces
and signaling to everybody that his country has no intentions of defending
itself.
There are also serious plans afoot to create a tunnel
linking Spain (and thus Europe) physically to Morocco and Muslim North Africa.
As usual in Western countries, Socialists who seek to destroy their own
countries are de facto allies with Big Business interests, the same business
interests that have championed the borderless EU common market, who desire
bigger markets and an abundant supply of cheap labour, and tend to view defended
national borders as an obstacle to both. According to a study by the Group for
Reflection and Proposal on Business and Immigration, Spain needs over two
million new foreign workers[14] until 2020, many
of whom will undoubtedly be Muslims.
In June 2008, it was announced that an “interfaith
meeting[15]“ sponsored by Saudi Arabia was to be
held in Madrid. The dialogue would be held by the Saudi-based World Muslim
League. “Prominent figures among followers of the divine messages will take part
in dialogue concerning life in human societies, international cooperation, human
rights, and issues of security, peace and living together in the world,” said a
statement by the agency.
As Robert Spencer commented at Jihad Watch: “There are
several angles to the choice of Spain for the site of this ‘dialogue’: One,
obviously, is that it would be rather awkward to invite a large contingent of
religious leaders to a place where they are forbidden from carrying bibles and
other sacred texts, and from displaying religious symbols. And, of course, they
certainly couldn’t hold the meeting in Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina,
since no non-Muslims are allowed there. That might lead to uncomfortable
questions when one considers that Rome, Jerusalem, and other cities are open to
all visitors. But beyond that is Spain’s history as an Islamic possession and
the trumped-up myth of the nearly utopian, Islamic Andalusia of yore; the idea
of going back to those ‘good old days’ will surely be a source for much of the
propaganda that will come out of this Saudi-led venture.” Spencer feared that a
more accurate term for this event would be “interfaith monologue.”
As I’ve stated in my online essay Socratic Dialogue
vs. Islamic Dialogue[16], Muslims understand
the term “dialogue” in a way that differs sharply from that of Westerners. For
them, “dialogue” does not mean an attempt to rationally debate a topic in order
to arrive at the truth. Truth is already given: It’s called sharia, and the only
“dialogue” that is acceptable is one that will lead to the implementation of
sharia, one way or the other. When they invite to a “dialogue,” they actually
mean that we should negotiate our surrender, or else…
Poul E. Andersen, former dean of the church of Odense,
Denmark, warns against false hopes of dialogue with Muslims. During a debate at
the University of Aarhus, Ahmad Akkari, one of the Muslim participants, stated:
“Islam has waged war where this was necessary and dialogue where this was
possible. A dialogue can thus only be viewed as part of a missionary objective.”
When Mr. Andersen raised the issue of dialogue with the World Muslim League in
Denmark, the answer was: “To a Muslim, it is artificial to discuss Islam. In
fact, you view any discussion as an expression of Western thinking.”
Since its inception, Islam has been waging an aggressive
war against the rest of mankind, with the stated purpose of bringing every
single human being on earth under Islamic rule. Infidels have been presented
with only three options: Convert to Islam, die, or submit under Islamic rule as
a dhimmi, a second-rate citizen in your own country subject to serious financial
pressure, constant verbal humiliations and frequent physical abuse. Islam hasn’t
changed in the last 1400 years. Unless we are prepared to accept conversion or
dhimmi status, we have to fight. The Spanish and the Portuguese knew that once.
One can only hope that they will remember it again.

By Mister Fox
Gordon Brown and Business Secretary
Lord Mandelson went to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states in the first week
of November 2008 to ask them to fund our faltering economies by putting billions
into the International Monetary Fund.
In return they offered them some
control over Britain and the West. The Saudi regime is the motor behind
Islamisation of the West. It is Saudi’s Wahhabi form of Islam which, together
with the Shi’ites in Iran, aims to make Islam dominant in the world.
Saudi money has financed the
spread of Wahhabi mosques, preachers and educational institutions in this
country promoting holy war and converting
thousands of British Muslims.
Saudi Wahhabism seeks to conquer the West through a pincer movement comprising
violence on the one hand and cultural infiltration on the other and our Prime
Minister is colluding with them. Lord Mandelson
admitted that the Saudis and
other Gulf states would get more influence in global institutions in return.
Islamic influence is spreading into our cultural life as they buy Western
institutions. Manchester City F C was is now owned by the ruling family of Abu
Dhabi; Barclays Bank, has had almost £6 billion invested from Abu Dhabi and
Qatar.
Islamist ideas are also spread through Islamic study centres attached to our
universities. Professor Anthony Glees revealed eight universities — including
Oxford and Cambridge — have accepted more than £233.5 million from Saudi and
Muslim sources since 1995, spreading radicalism and creating two separate
identities and sets of allegiance.
Our traditional elites are colluding
with them against us. The Saudi monarchy are building The Oxford Centre
for Islamic Studies (OCIS), founded in 1985, Prince Charles is its honourary
patron. It is the biggest Muslim educational centre in the United Kingdom and
built as a traditional Oxford college around a central cloistered quadrangle.
The 10,230 sq m four-storey building will feature study and research facilities,
a lecture theatre, a large library and an environmentally controlled archive for
rare documents; a prayer hall with traditional dome and minaret tower. The
centre includes a 108-foot-high minaret
and a 75-foot-high dome. It is estimated at £65 million. We remember that this
traitorous university is pushing
British students of in favour of overseas students.
The elites submission to Saudi was clear when they suspend rule of law as they
did by abandoning the bribery investigation into the arms deal between Saudi
Arabia and BAE systems because of an explicit threat made by the Saudi
authorities that, if the case continued, ‘British lives on British streets’
would be at risk, as explained by Britain’s former ambassador to Saudi Arabia,
Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles. These are the controllers of terror groups in the West
that Brown and oher politicians are colluding with against the general public!
Muslims have influence over us through the combination of the threat of violence
and wealth,
yet, Brown is to make London the global centre of Islamic banking. Britain’s
major banks are accepting Sharia finance, on the basis that it is a source of
vast wealth but Sharia is a project for Islamising society that prohibits
interest.
It was founded in mid-20th century by Islamist ideologues to further global
Islamic rule by creating separate administrative systems. Muslims have to donate
some of their income to charity, and that goes through the sharia banking
system. Usually, the clerics who decide
where this ‘charity’ money should go are advocates of terror like Sheik
Yusuf Qaradawi, who supports suicide
bombing in Iraq and Israel; and Sheik Muhammed Taqi Usmani, who ran a
madrassa that supported the Taliban, yet sits on the sharia supervisory board of
the Dow Jones Islamic Index Fund.
Many charitable donations are directed to terrorist organisations like Hamas and
Hezbollah. This influence was clear when the banks
refused the
BNP, a legal political party,
banking facilities.
Brown is giving Muslims more influence over our lives yet
knows that terrorists are
organising to go to war with us because he is regularly briefed by the Secret
Services. The growth of terror cells was revealed in a leaked Government
intelligence report states that secret al-Qaeda cells in London, Birmingham and
Luton are planning mass-casualty attacks, reported the Telegraph of 9 Nov 2008.
The document was compiled by the intelligence branch of the Ministry of Defence,
MI5 and Special Branch. It reveals that "some thousands" of extremists
are active in the UK. They are mainly born here and aged between 18 and 30. Many
are thought to have been trained abroad in terrorist camps.
The report "International Terrorism",
states: "For the foreseeable future the UK will continue to be a
high-priority target for international terrorists aligned with al-Qaeda. We are
under threat from “British nationals”, including Muslim converts, foreign
terrorists based here and terrorists planning attacks from abroad." It notes
that the threat from the Islamist terrorists in the UK is "diverse and widely
distributed" and that the numbers of terrorist in Britain is "difficult
to judge". The document does state, that the Joint Terrorism Analysis
Centre, which is based in MI5's headquarters at Thames House in London,
estimates "some thousands of extremists in the UK committed to supporting
Jihadi activities, either here or abroad".
Jonathan Evans, the director general of MI5, said last year they had identified
at least 2,000 men and women who
were a risk to national security and public safety.
Home Office figures record that since 2001, over
1,200 terrorist suspects have
been arrested, over 140 charged and more than
45 convicted of terrorism offences. It is also estimated that there are
200 terrorist networks
functioning in Britain today who are involved in
at least 30 plots.
This shows the number of terrorists threatening the UK is growing. The majority
of extremists are British nationals of south Asian, mainly Pakistanistani origin
but there are also extremists from north and east Africa, Iraq and the Middle
East, and a number of converts.
Knowing this, in November 2006, the Government were advertising for immigrants
by placing an Home Office pamphlet 'Multicultural
Britain - A Land Of Immigrants' encouraging immigrants to come here
because of the Human Rights Act and well-paid jobs, in embassies across the
world including those were terrorist come here from. The advert
was first discovered in the
Embassy in Pakistanistan!
The overwhelming majority of Muslims at war with us are of active service age -
18-30. "The main concentrations are in London, Birmingham, with significant
terrorist networks in the South East, notably Luton. These enemy networks are
spreading their propaganda, training more terrorists, fund raising from local
council grants, lottery; and, procuring non-lethal military equipment to support
Jihads in Pakistanistan, Afghanistan and Iraq, against our soldiers and sending
recruits to the conflicts.
MI5 believe that the risk of terror attacks by Islamist is widespread. To combat
this, MI5 has nine regional offices and has nearly
doubled its staff from 1,800 in
2001 to 3,500 today. But is recruiting from Muslim communities and allowing
itself to be subverted. The elites play down the number of Muslims in Britain
but we know it is many more than
1.5million. At least a million live in London. There are c150,000 Muslims in
Birmingham and a further c27,000 in Luton. There are an estimated 10,000
Afro-Caribbean Muslims or white converts.
Luton has a growing Muslim population and has been a hot-bed of radical
activity. The extremist group al-Muhajiroun is
active in the town but the
police ignore them. The 7/7 bombers gathered in Luton, to travel to London to
kill people. Yet the Government still encourage them to pour into the country!
The ethnic cleansing of non-Muslims in Luton shows police complicity.
The Muslims are attacking people from
all races and are trying to ethnically clear a West Indians in Luton by throwing
bricks through their windows. The police have been ignoring it, but TV
showed a residents meeting with episcopalian Bishop Blake asking the police what
they were going to do about it. (1)The police have “Hate Crime officers”
to harry and persecute any who try to expose what Muslims are doing!
Some of the terrorists involved in the plot to bring down airliners using liquid
bombs came from London, where a bomb factory had been established. In
Birmingham, a bulkhead of Muslim territorialism is where the kidnaping of a
Muslim in the British army was planned.
The leader Parviz Khan, who was financed by state benefits, formed a terrorist
cell intended to video the execution and release the film on the internet.
It is senior Government ministers who
encourage terrorists to come here. Yahoo news of 11 November 2008
reported that a Hizbollah radical was allowed to enter the UK after ministers
announced a crackdown on extremists. Ibrahim Mousawi spoke at a conference at
the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. Mr Mousawi, a former
editor of Hizbollah's television channel, is a "well-known extremist",
The armed wing of the Middle Eastern Islamic group is on a Home Office list of
proscribed terror organisations. Yet, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, had announced
that extremists would have to prove their innocence under new rules and promised
to publish a list of banned individuals!
Our elites act in consort with Muslims in changing our ways to be more suitable
for their children. Rowan Williamse, Archbishop of Canterbury, was quoted in the
Daily Mail of 5th July 2008 as saying
Christian doctrine is offensive to Muslims, and criticising
Christianity's history for its violence, its use of harsh punishments and its
betrayal of its peaceful principles. His sent a conciliatory letter to Islamic
leaders calling for an alliance between the two faiths for 'the common good'.
What a traitorous, evil man!
Our rulers are also allowing Muslims to take over our legal system. The Sunday
Times September 14th 2008 reported Islamic law has been officially adopted in
Britain. The government has secretly sanctioned the powers for Sharia judges to
rule on cases ranging from divorce and financial disputes to those involving
domestic violence. Rulings issued by a network of five Sharia courts are
enforceable by the judicial system, through the county courts or High Court.
Before this rulings of Sharia courts in Britain could not be enforced, and
required voluntary compliance among Muslims. It has now come out that Sharia
courts with these powers have been set up in London, Birmingham, Bradford and
Manchester with the network’s headquarters in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Two more
courts are being planned for Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The authorities are also encouraging anti-Semitic attacks in Britain which has
reached its second-highest level ever(17 May 2008. The Independent). Figures
show 547 such incidents were recorded last year, of which a record 114 were
violent assaults. The Community Security Trust (CST), which protects the Jewish
community, counted every recorded anti-Semitic assault, threat, act of abuse and
damage or desecration of Jewish property across the country. Mark Gardner, a
spokesman for CST, said:” the usual allies of British Jews fear showing support
would further the Zionist cause. In the 1990s, when Jews faced attacks from the
far right there was a lot of sympathy from the liberal left establishments, but
today the same voices simply see anti-Semitism as something useful to Zionists.”
The Miami Herald (October 10, 2004) had an article, "French Jews Escape to
United States," giving copious examples of French Jews who moved to southern
Florida because of their fears of the militant Muslim minority in France.
At the same time the Government and other authorities persecute opponents of
this collusion. “Chris Keates, the general secretary of the National Association
of Schoolmasters Union of Women teachers, said: “Those who declare their
affiliation to the BNP should not be allowed to work in the teaching profession
or in public services.” The Royal Institute of British Architects is persecuting
BNP members. Any candidate for election to RIBA’s council has to declare whether
or not they are BNP. members. Compare this to anti-Jewish legislation in pre-war
Germany. (5)
The police not only ignore Muslims grooming our young girls but also the selling
of heroin and crack. They collude with Muslim extremists and persecute those who
try to warn about the dangers - police raided Blackburn BNP organiser Robin
Evans and Pendle councillor Brian Parker at dawn on suspicion of distributing a
leaflet showing that Mulim gangs distribute heroin. The police told Mr. Parker’s
wife that it is over the heroin leaflet, but a Crown Prosecution Service
spokesperson told the Muslim News in October 2008, “We looked at the evidence
and concluded that there was not sufficient evidence to advise the police to
prosecute on ground of racial hatred.” The leaflet reveals to the public that
Muslim gangs are “almost exclusively responsible” for the heroin trade, of which
95% comes from Afghanistan and Pakistanistan.
At the same time up to eight serving police officers and civilian staff are
suspected of having links to Al Qaeda. Some are thought to have attended
terrorist training camps in Pakistanistan and Afghanistan. The names of these
officers were featured on a dossier, drawn up with the help of MI5, that was
instigated because of fears that Muslim terrorists were taking advantage of the
“positive discrimination” schemes used by the police to attract more ethnic
staff. (3)
It is clear that by their own logic the British police can not be trusted to
uphold the law fairly and impartially as they are witchunting certain types of
people from the force and giving preferment to Muslims terrorists! The real
intention is shown because al-Queda officers were not sacked, because the police
said that they lacked the “legal power” to dismiss them.
They claim Classified intelligence reports raising concerns about police
officers affiliations with Muslim terrorist cells can not be used to justify
their dismissal, but a detective inspector serving in the professional standards
department of a Midlands force is checking the leaked BNP members list against
his force personnel records. He said: "Even people on the list who are lapsed
members of the BNP, or who have just approached the party expressing an interest
in joining, will be of interest to us."
This a clear insight into the fact that the practice of police work is governed
by institutional prejudice against “whites”. Officers are banned from joining or
promoting the BNP because they would not uphold the law in a multri-racial
society impartially. By their own logic employing al-Queda members or supporters
suggests the police do are not really fighting terrorism but the British people
who oppose it. In fact Prime Minister Gordon Brown who collaborates with the
Saudis appointed John Cruddas MP to spearhead a campaign against “the far
right”.

Has the world gone crazy or is there a master plan that the super powers have in
mind so intricate that the common people cannot comprehend? This is the question
I have been asking myself during the last couple of weeks while following
closely the development of the drama in Kosovo. The opinion that Kosovo’s
unilateral declaration of independence is illegal is shared by many countries in
the world since it blatantly defies international agreements. For some
inexplicable reason, the US and the big West European countries embraced the
self proclaimed independence of this province in the Balkans inhabited by clans
of ruthless terrorists. I am sure that many people are raising their eyebrows
right now so I will provide some historical evidence to back my judgment since I
know for a fact that many people not only in the US but also in Europe are
grossly misinformed on this issue.
Tony Vladov from the Bulgarian daily newspaper Standard gives details on how the
notorious Albanian organised crime originated from the traditional family clans.
Since the fifteenth century those clans have used a system or rules called
“kanun.” Similarly to the mafia, each of these families have been controlling
and governing certain territory, which in many instances caused bloodsheds among
clans. It’s suggested that even during the rule of the Albanian dictator Enver
Hodja fifteen clans in Albania have been committing illegal contraband
operations. Later these criminals expanded their operations and during the
political turmoil of 1997 they establish total control of the organised crime in
Albania. The same families created the Army for Liberation of Kosovo (AOK), with
the simple agenda of making money from the financing of the war with Serbia and
to conquer new territories inhabited by Albanians on the Balkans.
The war in Kosovo played a major role for the popularisation of Albanian
criminal contractors throughout Europe. Moreover, this changed the route of
heroin transportation from the East to the West. Before the war, the drugs used
to go through the channel Turkey-Serbia-Croatia and Slovenia. During the war the
Albanians guaranteed the safety of the cargos in the military zone and thus
achieve total control of the traffic. Immediately after the war, the ethnic
Albanians and their fellow relatives from Kosovo were granted a statute of
refugees and quickly dispersed throughout Europe. The biggest Albanian colonies
put roots in Germany and Switzerland creating a monopoly on the heroin trade.
All of the Albanians have always highly respected the clans’ hierarchy. For
example, the Albanian leader in Macedonia – Ali Ahmeti is a nephew of Fazly
Veliu, one of the founders of Albanian Army for Libaration of Kosovo.
Furthermore, the Veliu family is closely related to the Djashari clan, which
member is Haim Tachi himself. This same person, Mr. Tachi (then leader of the
AOK) killed many civilian Serbs during the AOK infiltrations of sovereign
Serbian territory. It is also curious that this individual is a close friend of
the foreign policy team of the Clinton Administration – Madeline Albright,
Richard Holbrook and Wesley Clark.
Until today Albania has been ruled by the terror of the lawless criminal clans
and any judge who dared to intervene has being executed. What the world doesn’t
know is that the fix idea of the Albanians of creating Great Albania is still
alive and they are working hard for achieving it. Most families procreate at
large scales trying to conquer territories demographically and later through
bloodshed. Moreover, Albanians are spread all over Europe and especially in the
criminal underworld. They are notorious for their effectiveness,
unpredictability and incredible cruelty. Their main advantage to the other
organised crime is the fact that they speak language nobody understands, their
organisation is based on family ties and if someone dares to speak out that
person is being brutally murdered. In Europe, today the Albanian mafia is the
main engine of traffic of drugs and humans, theft and falsification of
passports, weapons and human organs trade, abductions, extortions and
executions. In London these people control the entire network of prostitution,
in Italy and Greece they deal with weapons and drugs’ smuggling. There are
entire towns in Italy where the business is controlled by Albanians. In the US
there are more than 150,000 Albanian immigrants from Kosovo, Macedonia,
Montenegro and Albania.
Moreover, here is another interesting piece of information about the
“unprivileged” Albanians. In 2002, soon after the invasion of Albanian
terrorists in Macedonia, the local government presented a 79 page report to the
CIA, which highlighted the collaboration of Albanians and Al Qaida on the
Balkans. Since 1999 only in Kosovo there have been built 24 Wahabit mosques, 14
orphanages, and 24 elementary schools sponsored by the Wahabit network. The
situation in Albania is similar where the religious leader is a disciple of the
Wahabits of Saudi Arabia. Wahabism is a fundamentalist movement in the Islam and
is the main inspiration for the terrorists from Al Qaida. Although this doesn’t
mean that all Albanians will become terrorists, it poses a great danger to the
world since there are conditions for the creation and spreading of terrorist
cells in the Albanian society.
Why am I providing all this background information? I am just trying to explain
why independent Kosovo is so dangerous for the cultural and social integrity of
Europe. The Albanians and other Muslims for that matter have been refusing for
years to integrate in the European society. The problems they have created in
the UK, Italy, France, Germany, the Balkans and many other places are countless.
The world saw what happened in Paris and Germany few years ago. Last year,
Albanian refugees from Kosovo tried to commit a terrorist attack on an American
military base in the US! In 2001 the AOK army invaded Macedonia and destroyed
Christian monasteries from the 12th century. Thanks to these ‘peace” loving
individuals we can’t bring liquids on the aeroplanes today. I can only hope that
Turkey never gets to join the European Union or as Nicholas Sarkozy once said,
one day we will have to explain to our children why Beirut and Damascus should
be in Europe.
Based on all of the above facts I don’t understand why the US, France, Italy and
Germany accepted the unilateral proclamation of independence of Kosovo. Is the
memory of these nations so short or do they have a secret agenda? The US
similarly to Russia actually has always tried to split countries and regions so
it can have more power over them. The examples in history are many – the coup in
Iran that brought to power the Ayatollahs, the war in Iraq, the bombing of
Serbia in the 90’s. In the age we live in, however the time has come for the
world powers to make a decision. Are they going to work together in order to
promote and conserve western values, traditions and cultures and protect their
people from the imminent threat of the dark force that is trying to undermine
all things civil we believe in or are they going to use the Muslim card in the
fight for power among themselves? Only time will show, but I truly hope that
future generations in Europe don’t have to wake up every morning by the sounds
of Muslim prayers and read re-written history books.

Stortinget, the Norwegian parliament, in April 2005 passed a new Discrimination
Act. The act says in pretty clear words[1] that in cases of suspected direct or
indirect discrimination due to religion or ethnicity, Norwegians are guilty
until proven otherwise. To me, it is surprising that they are allowed to pass
such legislation at all. Isn't it a fundamental part of all international law
that a person should be innocent until proven otherwise? Aren't our politicians
thus depriving Norwegians of even the most basic human rights? However, I have
heard claims that it is technically legal to do this. The act was passed in
April with the approval of all parties in parliament, more than 80 % of MPs,
with the sole exception of the right-wing Progress Party. Immigration spokesman
for the Progress Party, Per Sandberg, is deeply disappointed[2] and fears the
consequences of the new legislation. "This law will jeopardise the rights of
ordinary, law-abiding Norwegian citizens. The principle of reverse burden of
proof means that Norwegians are guilty of discrimination unless they can prove
otherwise. It will lead to many convictions of innocent people. Reverse burden
of proof is also combined with liability to pay compensation, which means that
innocent persons risk having to pay huge sums for things they didn't do."
It is unclear why this act is needed at all, given that a survey of
immigrants[3] only a few months ago indicates that a vast majority don't feel
they've been discriminated against in Norway. Racism appears to be less
widespread than earlier believed. And why on earth are we supposed to show this
ridiculous reverence and respect for their utterly failed Islamic cultures in
the first place? Why should people who come from some of the most advanced
countries on the planet have to crawl for those who come from the most backward
ones? If their Islamic societies are so great, how come people from these
countries burn their passports and treat their fingers with acid to remove
fingerprints, all in order to get into ours?
"Anti-racist" organisations are given a significant role in the new law. There
is a new, state-sponsored Equality Ombudsman who will be responsible for
enforcing it, and coerce all employers who refuse to abide by it. A
multicultural Inquisition, in other words. Cabinet minister Erna Solberg, who
has earlier called for the establishment of a sharia council[4] in Norway,
proposed the new act. It will cover everything from the workplace to the housing
market. In a recent case, a local furniture store wouldn't allow a female
employee to wear a head scarf, arguing that it violated the store's dress code.
Solberg’s proposal will toughen the law[5], and also require those charged to
mount proof of their innocence. Solberg argues that existing law already
makes it illegal for employers, for example, to prevent women from wearing head
scarves if their religion calls for it. Her proposed law "would make this even
more clear." This law could open the floodgates for all kinds of unreasonable
demands from Muslim immigrants in particular, who will be given a licence for
extortion of employers, courtesy of the Norwegian parliament. For instance, it
is likely that they can now claim that it is “discrimination” if they don’t have
a special prayer room provided. Already, Muslim taxi drivers demand a separate
prayer room[6] at Oslo Airport, where they can pray during working hours, but
have received a negative answer. The leader of the Somali Taxi Association, Ali
Hassan, finds this discriminating and unacceptable, and is planning a law suit
over the matter: "We think we have a right to pray during working hours. We
demand to get a room where we can perform prayers, without losing our spot in
the taxi queue." At the same time as this is going on, blind people with their
guide dogs[7] are finding it increasingly difficult to get a taxi ride in the
Oslo region, where Muslims make up a high percentage of cab drivers.
It is frustrating that Norwegian authorities make it mandatory for all
non-Muslims to accept hijab, the Islamic veil, in their workplace. Many
non-Muslims find hijab offensive, and even some Muslims, too. The veil, is not
”just a piece of cloth”. It serves as a demarcation line between proper,
submissive Muslim women and whores, un-Islamic women who deserve no respect and
are asking for rape. The veil should more properly be viewed as the uniform of a
Totalitarian movement, and a signal to attack those outside the movement. An
Islamic Mufti in Copenhagen, Denmark, sparked a political outcry after publicly
declaring that women who refuse to wear headscarves are "asking for rape."[8]
Apparently, he isn’t the only Muslim in Europe to think this way. Norwegian
newspaper Dagbladet reported in 2001 that 65 percent of rapes in Oslo[9] were
performed by "non-Western" immigrants – a category that, in Norway, consists
mostly of Muslims. The article quoted a professor of social anthropology at the
University of Oslo, Unni Wikan, as saying that "Norwegian women must take their
share of responsibility[10] for these rapes" because Muslim men found their
manner of dress provocative. The professor's conclusion was not that Muslim men
living in the West needed to adjust to Western norms, but the exact opposite:
"Norwegian women must realise that we live in a multicultural society and adapt
themselves to it." In January 2005, Norwegian media reported[11] that 2004 saw
the highest number or rape charges ever recorded in the capital city of Oslo.
Strangely enough, there was now no mentioning of how immigrants were grossly
overrepresented in rape cases. Why not? Unless there has been a sudden and
unexplained drop in the number of immigrants raping Norwegian women between 2001
and 2004, which is unlikely, the statistics should be at least as staggering in
2005 as they were before. If they are not revealed, it can only mean that
“somebody” didn’t like the numbers[12] presented in 2001, and decided to bury
them. That “somebody” must be a person high up in the police hierarchy, maybe
even in the government. The same thing happens in Sweden[13]. So in the end, the
safety of young Scandinavian women is sacrificed in order to keep the glossy
image of a multicultural society intact.
Militant Islamists like Mullah Krekar[14] do reside in Norway. Besides,
Norwegian police have already issued a mobile security alarm[15] to Progress
Party leader Carl I Hagen. They worry that he's a target for terrorists unhappy
with some anti-Islamic remarks he made last summer. Hagen criticised Islam, and
could see no similarity with the concept of moral and justice found in
Christianity. Hagen also said that if Israel loses[16] in the Middle East,
Europe will succumb to Islam next, if Islamic fundamentalists have it their way.
Christians should support Israel and oppose Islamic inroads[17] into Europe. In
an unprecedented step, a group of Muslim ambassadors[18] to Norway blasted Carl
I Hagen in a letter to newspaper Aftenposten, claiming he had offended 1.3
billion Muslims around the world. Pakistan’s ambassador in particular has
interfered in unacceptable ways in Norwegian internal affairs before, trying to
instruct and intimidate a Norwegian politician of Pakistani origin who dared to
voice her support for banning Islamic veils from Norwegian schools.[19]
Dr. Ole Jørgen Anfindsen, editor, HonestThinking.org[20], believes that
Norwegian authorities have cheated with prognoses for the number of immigrants.
According to his numbers, ethnic Norwegians will become a minority in their own
country before 2050 if the current trends continue. The number of Muslims in
Norway over 15 years has quadrupled[21], meaning an annual growth of more than
9%. A Norwegian researcher warns that ethnic gangs[22] can give Norway the kind
of immigrant-related organised crime that accompanied waves of migration to the
USA. Dr. Inger-Lise Lien concludes that the ethnic groups themselves are
worried. Oslo, which used to be a safe Scandinavian city, today looks more like
New York City pre-Giuliani. Native Norwegians are quietly moving out[23] of the
immigrant ghettos in inner-city Oslo in large numbers. Tensions with immigrants
have spread even to smaller towns[24]. The trend is identical to what can be
seen in neighbouring Sweden, where several cities are now on the verge of
collapse[25]. Norway has already experienced what seems to have been an
attempted Islamic terror attack[26]. At the same time, there is new legislation
proposed against "discriminating" statements[27] made about specific groups,
even on Internet discussion forums and websites. Which means that Norwegians
can't say too much about Muslim immigrants destroying the country, because that
is racism and thus illegal. At a time when the multicultural ideology is
increasingly seen as a mistake in many countries, the authorities here respond
by making it the official state ideology and banning all opposition. The heavily
left-leaning Norwegian media are remarkably quiet about this, and do not make a
fuzz about this infringement of freedom of speech.
Scandinavia is a Utopia lost. Previously quiet Scandinavian nations now suffer
Islamic terror threats and death threats[28] against people criticising Islam.
Norway celebrates 100 years as an independent state[29] this year. Judging from
this new discrimination act and the runaway Muslim immigration, perhaps the
anniversary should be called “From independence to colonisation”. At the same
time as their women are no longer safe in the streets because of immigrant
gangs, the authorities respond by making Norwegians de facto second-rate
citizens in their own country. They use their own people as stepping stones for
their personal careers in the UN bureaucracy. Pompous, hypocritical Scandinavian
clowns, lecturing about how to create the perfect society while their own
citizens find it increasingly hard to live in their major cities.
To Americans out there: Tired of hearing Europeans criticise you and how
“fascist” your administration is? Well, it wasn’t the USA that just passed a law
- with the support of more than 80 % of the lawmakers – that states that their
own citisens are guilty until proven otherwise. Want to get even with some smug
anti-American Europeans? Here’s your chance. Leave a message on my Fjordman blog
if you want to write something about this case. I will try to help with
translations as much as I can. There is unfortunately no shortage of material.

The leading Norwegian blog Document.no[1] tells the horrifying story about how
two decent white men in 2007 were attacked by a media lynch mob for their
supposed "racism." As it turns out later, the mainstream media didn't present
nearly all of the information relevant to the case at the time, which didn't
prevent them from nearly destroying these two men. This happened at the same
time as there is a growing wave of crime and violence targeting the natives. The
response of the authorities to rising levels of racist violence targeting the
natives has been to increase crackdowns on "racism" – by the white natives. In
2005 the Norwegian parliament – with the support of 85% of MPs – passed a new
Discrimination Act[2], prepared by then Minister of Integration from the
Conservative Party, Erna Solberg, who had earlier called for the establishment
of a sharia council in Norway.
A spokesman for the right-wing Progress Party, Per Sandberg, feared that the law
would jeopardise the rights of law-abiding citizens. Reverse burden of proof is
combined with liability to pay compensation, which means that innocent persons
risk having to pay huge sums for things they didn't do. If an immigrant claims
that a native has somehow discriminated against him or made a discriminatory
remark, the native person has to mount proof of his own innocence. This harsh
law was passed despite the fact that most immigrants themselves claimed they had
encountered little discrimination.
I have later discovered that similar laws have been passed across much of
Western Europe, encouraged by the EU and the Council of Europe (CoE) in
cooperation with international Islamic organisations. The Norwegian law followed
an initiative from the CoE. There was virtually no public debate about this law,
which was passed in relative silence prior to the national elections that year.
Not a single journalist genuinely criticised it, and most barely mentioned it at
all before it was passed. The same journalists otherwise tend to be very
concerned about the legal or "human rights" of Islamic terrorists, but
apparently not of their own people.
The Equality and Anti-discrimination Ombud[3] Beate Gangås, a white lesbian
feminist, before the municipal elections in 2007 warned all political parties
against making "discriminatory" remarks regarding immigration policies, but
called for actively reducing[4] the number of white, heterosexual men in
politics. There was little real debate about immigration in the heavily
left-leaning media that year, but an all the more passionate witch-hunt looking
for racists, and by that I mean whites only. The left-wing coalition government,
after a meeting with immigrant organisations, announced that racists, apparently
meaning white natives only, should be "smoked out"[5] of all public sector jobs.
The same government in October 2008 funded[6] a conference in Oslo involving
"dialogue" with a number of hardline sharia-sponsoring groups from the Middle
East, including the Egyptian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. The section
Fred og Forsoning ("Peace and
Reconciliation") of the Foreign Ministry financed the research project "Fault
Lines of Islamism" [pdf][7] led by Bjørn Olav Utvik of the University of Oslo.
Gry Larsen from the Labour Party, representing the Ministry, was scheduled to
meet with representatives of these groups. The left-wing government can thus
meet with radical Islamic groups, but want to silence those among the natives
who don't want Muslims with such views to settle in their country. No "dialogue"
with them.
Two ambulance drivers in Oslo, both of them white native Norwegians, were in
August 2007 involved in what became a massively hyped case supposedly involving
"white racism." The ambulance had arrived to pick up an African man who was
injured. As ambulance driver Erik Schjenken[8] months later explained, the man
"pulled down his pants and urinated on my colleague's leg. My colleague was
surprised, pulled away and called him a pig. That's when we viewed the man as a
problem, and decided it was best if the police took him to the clinic." Ali
Farah, the Somalian man in question, had more severe head injuries than the
drivers assumed at that point. "We made a mistake, because we interpreted his
urination as willful and a provocation, but NOT because we had racist or
discriminatory motives," Schjenken wrote.
Based on weak suspicions of "racism," the mass media, leading intellectuals and
politicians launched what can only be described as a witch-hunt against the two
ambulance drivers. "This would never happen to a white man," said the prominent
Norwegian-Pakistani lawyer Abid Q. Raja[9], representing Farah and his family.
Author Anne Holt, who once served as Minister of Justice for the Labour Party,
wrote an essay in newspaper Aftenposten
which in my view amounted to a verbal execution of the drivers. Both of them
were suspended from service and became the target of widespread, negative media
coverage. They were later cleared after an investigation of the incident by the
Norwegian Board of Health Supervision. However, the Equality and
Anti-Discrimination Ombud, or the Multicultural Inquisition as I like to call
it, ruled that Farah was a victim of discrimination and that the ambulance
personnel broke the anti-discrimination laws. As noted before, the
anti-discrimination law states that natives are guilty of "discrimination"
almost as soon as they are suspected of it.
It should be mentioned here that this African man was injured in the first place
because he was beaten by another African man, from Ghana[10]. In Norway, a
country straddling the Arctic Circle and with no colonial history, one African
man beats another African man, and the result is that the white ambulance
drivers, who have dedicated their lives to helping other people, become the
targets of a lynch mob led by the country's media. Driver Erik Schjenken needed
professional help as he was brought to the brink of suicide.
According to Hans Rustad from the major blog Document.no[11], the ideology of
anti-racism in some cases resembles what we have seen from Communists regimes.
The term "racist" is similar to being called a "class traitor" under Communism.
The mere accusation is powerful enough to destroy lives. Rustad fears that
anti-racism in some cases leads to lawlessness. Ambulance driver Schjenken was a
well-regarded employee who had performed thousands of calls and saved many
lives, yet because of one error of judgment, which in my view was understandable
given the situation, his life was ruined. All because he had a politically
incorrect skin colour while the other person was non-white.
What makes this even more absurd is that in Norway, as throughout the Western
world, white-on-non-white violence is exceedingly rare. The vast majority of
racism and racist violence comes from non-whites against whites, or between
different groups of non-whites. In Oslo, young girls are raped; schoolchildren
are threatened with death, robbed and assaulted. The police have warned against
"an alarming rise in street violence" in urban areas across the country. This is
directly caused by mass immigration, which is nevertheless still championed by
the very same media who attacked these two ambulance drivers.
For instance[12], a 17-year-old Somalian was convicted of the rape of a young
girl in Oslo. The court stated that the rape was unusually brutal and lasted for
several hours. The man choked the girl for so long that the medical doctor who
examined her said that she could have died. The girl suffers from severe
psychological problems in the aftermath of the attack. The African youth was
sentenced to four and half years in prison. This sentence included another rape,
where his Norwegian-Moroccan friend raped a 13-year-old girl whilst the Somalian
helped to threaten her and keep guard. She has naturally been traumatised from
the incident.
Numerous natives have had their lives ruined by similar attacks, yet anti-white
racism is rarely mentioned as a problem by the mainstream media. Whites are
apparently fair game. The more vicious the rapes, muggings, and stabbings
targeting whites in their own country get, the more aggressive and hysterical
the witch-hunt on "white racism" becomes. French philosopher Alain
Finkielkraut[13] has warned that "the lofty idea of 'the war on racism' is
gradually turning into a hideously false ideology. And this anti-racism will be
for the 21st century what Communism was for the 20th century: A source of
violence."
Professor Sigurd Skirbekk[14] of the University of Oslo notes that "In 1994, the
German periodical Focus pointed to opinion polls taken in Germany, France and
England in which 55, 52 and 50 per cent, respectively, felt that their countries
accepted too many immigrants. From Norway we have a representative study from
1987 which showed that 51% of the people felt that the country should accept
fewer immigrants; 25% felt that politicians should stick to current practice,
while only 8% wanted to accept more immigrants. A similar study in Sweden, made
a couple of years later, showed that 54% of Swedes felt that too many people
were immigrating to Sweden. In later studies the figures have varied somewhat;
but there have always been more people who have favored a restrictive policy
than those who favored liberalisation." Thus, according to Skirbekk, "the
extent of recent immigration cannot be explained on the basis of popular opinion
[my emphasis]."
Skirbekk wonders[15] whether there is a quasi-religious undercurrent to the
anti-racist movement, and that it is quite literally the equivalent of the
witch-hunts of previous ages:
"A number of researchers have come to see that certain issues in the migration
debate has religious connotations. The Norwegian social anthropologist Inger
Lise Lien, for instance, has written that 'racism' in the public immigration
debate has become a word used to label the demons among us, the impure from whom
all decent people should remain aloof. We have every reason to believe that the
use of the term 'racist' in our day has many functional similarities with the
use of the word 'heretic' three hundred years ago….It is presumably fully
possible to join anti-racist movements with the sole motive of identifying with
something that appears to be politically correct, or in order to be a part of a
collective that entitles one to demonstrate and to harass splinter groups that
no one cares to defend." But "behind the slogan 'crush the racists,' there might
well be something more than a primitive desire to exercise violence. The battle
also involves an element of being in a struggle for purity versus impurity. And
since racism is something murky, anti-racism and the colourful community it
purportedly represents, becomes an expression of what is pure."
The Norwegian left-wing author Torgrim Eggen[16] warns against "race wars"
brought about by mass immigration yet continues to support it. Questioned about
what we can do to avoid this scenario he states: "That's a very stupid question
to ask to an author. This presupposes that I want everybody to be happy, have a
good time and don't have any problems. If so, what do they want me to write
about?"
I will give him credit for his honesty: This is the most frank admission I have
seen of the fact that some people don't WANT society to be harmonious; they
think it's boring. There is no worse fate for a self-professed intellectual than
to live in a nation that is by and large prosperous, peaceful and
well-functioning because nobody will care about his advice or follow his
guidance, as is befitting a person of his intelligence.
During the Multicultural craze of the 1990s, Eggen in an essay entitled "The
psychotic racism[17]" warned against turbulence caused by mass immigration. The
solution to this was not to limit immigration, but to limit criticism of
immigration. According to him, xenophobia and opposition to mass immigration
should be viewed as a mental illness, and hence "the solution to this xenophobia
is that you should distribute medication to those who are seriously affected. I
have discussed this with professor of community medicine, Dr. Per Fugelli, and
he liked the idea." Mr. Fugelli suggested putting anti psychotic drugs in the
city's drinking water.
This may sound too extreme to be meant seriously, but Fugelli has continued to
chastise those who are critical of national immigration policies. Eggen warned
that arguments about how ordinary people are concerned over mass immigration
shouldn't be accepted because this could lead to Fascism: "One should be on
one's guard against people, especially politicians, who invoke xenophobia on
behalf of others. And if certain people start their reasoning with phrases such
as 'ordinary people feel that,' one shouldn't argue at all, one should hit
[them]."
Thomas Hylland Eriksen, professor of social anthropology at the University of
Oslo, heads a multi-million project[18] sponsored by the state trying to
envision how the new Multicultural society will work. He is a career
multiculturalist and intellectual celebrity in his country, a frequent
contributor to the public debate and lives, according to himself, in a boring,
monocultural part of the city, insulated from the effects of cultural diversity.
Hylland Eriksen has proclaimed the death of (Western) nations as if he derives
pleasure from it, and has stated that the Nidaros Cathedral (Nidarosdomen),
the most prominent church in the country, should no longer serve as a national
symbol in our Multicultural society.
Mr. Eriksen has clashed with Ole-Jørgen Anfindsen, who runs the bilingual
quality website HonestThinking.org and warns against the effects of uncontrolled
mass immigration. According to[19] Hylland Eriksen, "Cosmopolites insist on a
world comprising of more colours than black and white. In such a world, the
problems presented by Ole-Jørgen Anfindsen are not just petty, but irrelevant."
What are the problems presented by Mr. Anfindsen? Well, he has published numbers
indicating that if the current immigration continues, native Norwegians will be
a minority in their own country within a couple of generations. Given the fact
that ethnic groups who become minorities in their own lands usually have a hard
time, and always get persecuted when the newcomers are Muslims, one would assume
that this would be interesting information. But for self-proclaimed
"Multicultural cosmopolites," it is "petty and irrelevant" to even consider that
this could represent a problem. Eriksen calls Anfindsen "stupid and ignorant,"
and hints that "Maybe Anfindsen's agenda is inspired by a kind of perverted
Christianity (he has a Christian background)."
"He has a Christian background." Is that supposed to be an insult and disqualify
a person from worrying about whether his grandchildren will be persecuted? Mr.
Eriksen, like other Western multiculturalists, worries about Islamophobia but is
more than willing to mock Christianity. A newspaper essay co-authored by Eriksen
states that: "Is he [Anfindsen] asking us to once again repeat the obvious in
that the murder of Theo van Gogh, various acts of terrorism and death threats
against newspaper editors have nothing to do with Islam?"
Nothing to do with Islam? Really?
Mohammed Bouyeri[20], born in Amsterdam of Moroccan parents, killed Theo van
Gogh as he was cycling in Amsterdam on Nov. 2, 2004, shooting and stabbing
before slashing his throat and pinning a note to his body with a knife. "I did
what I did purely out my beliefs," he told judges while clutching a Koran[21].
"I want you to know that I acted out of conviction and not that I took his life
because he was Dutch or because I was Moroccan," but because he believed van
Gogh insulted Islam in his film criticising the treatment of Muslim women.
So a peaceful Christian man is accused of having a dark, secret agenda, while a
Muslim murderer who brags about his Islamic motivations has nothing to do with
Islam? A Serbian doctor from the former Yugoslavia, where a Multicultural
society recently collapsed in a horrific civil war, warned against the effects
of unchecked mass immigration. Thomas Hylland Eriksen responded by chastising
her for her "lack of visions[22]."
Apparently, your worth as an intellectual is measured in how grandiose your
ideas are. The greater your visions, the more dazzling your intellect is and
thus the greater prestige should be awarded to you. Whether those visions
actually correspond to reality and human nature is of secondary importance. In
fact, many a self-proclaimed intellectual will be downright offended by the
petty considerations of his more pedestrian fellow citizens, concerned with what
effects his ideas will have in real life. The fact that some people could get
hurt from his ideas doesn't discourage him. Truly great advances for mankind can
only be accomplished though sacrifices, preferably made by others than himself.
Those who champion mass immigration take no self-criticism for the violence
their policies have brought. On the contrary, they want more immigration.
Following the release of a UN population report[23] in 2007 which indicated a
global population increase of several billion people over the coming decades,
Marie Simonsen, the political editor of Norwegian left-wing newspaper Dagbladet,
which has spent decades denouncing the right-wing Progress Party for their
"racist" policies of limiting mass immigration, wrote that it should be
considered a universal human right for people everywhere to migrate wherever
they want to. This would mean virtually certain annihilation for a tiny, wealthy
and naive Scandinavian nation. Ms. Simonsen thus endorsed the gradual
eradication of her own people, no doubt congratulating herself for her
tolerance. Not a single word of protest was voiced by any other journalist to
this statement.
"Human rights" was a concept originally intended to ensure liberty. Now it's
used to eradicate an entire civilisation, in the name of tolerance and
diversity, and the natives are specifically banned from protesting against this.

From a Leftist newspaper:
The Local continues: “Sweden’s most popular far-right political party, the
Sweden Democrats (Sverigedemokraterna), seems to be coming closer to the
mainstream. Yet while the Sweden Democrats’ rhetoric and racism of extremist
demonstrators may bring uncomfortable echoes of the wartime past, there is one
crucial difference: mainstream Swedish society today goes out of its way not to
be indifferent.”
But they are indifferent. They are indifferent to the multitude of violent
attacks and human rights violations the Sweden Democrats are subject to. As
Bruce Bawer writes in While Sweden Slept:
Only one sizable party in the country, the Sweden Democrats, articulates most
Swedes’ concerns about their country’s immigration and integration policies.
Again and again, it has been the object of breathtakingly undemocratic treatment
by the political establishment. […]
Sweden Democrats have been the targets of events that recall China’s Cultural
Revolution. Staged “people’s protests” by members of the ‘youth divisions’ of
other parties have led to the firing of Sweden Democrats from their jobs. A few
weeks ago, a junior diplomat was dismissed when it became known that he was a
member of the party and had criticised his country’s immigration policy. On
several occasions, thugs loyal to the ruling parties have broken up Sweden
Democratic meetings and beaten up party leaders.
I
have written about one such attack[1], which extreme Leftists later openly
bragged about on the Internet, around 30 members of the Sweden Democrats were
attending a private party outside the town of Växjö. “To clearly demonstrate
that the Sweden Democrats are not welcome in our area, about 20 anti-Fascists
chose to attack the party. The Sweden Democrats were attacked with knives, axes,
iron bars and other weapons. After that, their cars were destroyed.” The brave
Leftists then smashed the windows and threw tear gas into the building, forcing
people outside, where they were again attacked and beaten with iron bars and
axes. Several of the people were hospitalised after the attack. This was a
peaceful, private party by unarmed members of a perfectly legal political party
that just happens to be critical of the country's immigration policies. These
brave Leftists or “anti-Fascists” do, for some curious reason, seem to behave
pretty much like, well, Fascists, a bit like the Brown Shirts in the 1930s,
physically assaulting political opponents to silence them.
The Swedish newspaper Expressen finally warned against the “low-intensity
terrorism” conducted by extreme Leftists and neo-Nazis. But they were honest
enough to admit that the extreme Leftists have tended to get away with their
violence because it has been directed against the despised right-wingers. Now,
their violence is increasingly aimed at established political parties and state
institutions, too. Political scientist Peter Esaiasson has done research into
every election movement in Sweden since 1866. According to him, the organised
attempts at disrupting meetings during the 2006 elections had no parallels in
modern history.
Most likely several hundred individuals have for the last few decades
experienced cultural Marxist/multiculturalist persecution throughout Western
Europe. Here is an example of an individual being fired:
From 2003 to 2006 I worked as a civil servant in the Berchem borough of Antwerp,
Flanders. Berchem is a multicultural neighbourhood with many immigrants of
Turkish and Moroccan origin. My job was to promote the integration of these
people and foster good relations between the different ethnic groups living in
Berchem. Prior to 2003 I worked in Antwerp North, another neighbourhood with
many immigrants.
During the past years I noted how radical Islamists groups began to take over
the immigrant neighbourhoods. I warned for this danger in my reports to the city
authorities. The latter made it clear to me that they did not like my reports.
They said my reports read like “Vlaams Belang tracts.” The VB is the local
anti-immigration party. When I kept reporting about what I saw happening around
me I was fired[2].

(Original title: FREEDOM FIGHTING "FASCISTS")
By Fjordman
“The fascists of the future will be called anti-fascists.”
Winston Churchill
In late 2007 and early 2008, I was involved in a heated argument with the
American blog Little Green Footballs and its owner Charles Johnson. I haven't
been thinking much about it since then because it consumed too much energy and I
found it to be a waste of time. However, recent events have caused me to look at
these issues once more. In the city of Cologne (Köln), Germany, a scheduled
anti-Islamisation demonstration was disrupted by an unholy alliance of Eurabian
Multicultural elites and extreme Leftist "anti-Fascists." As Thomas Landen puts
it in The Brussels Journal[1]:
"Last weekend's events in Cologne demonstrate what European conservatives are up
against. A conference protesting the building of a mega mosque run by Turkish
radicals was violently disrupted by thugs who gained the approval of the local
German authorities and the German media. The international media, including the
so-called 'conservative' media, have either not written about the Cologne
incidents or done so by branding the conservatives as 'Neo-Nazis' and the thugs
as ordinary citizens bravely fighting back 'Nazism.' An example of the latter
can be found in The Times of London[2]."
According to magazine Der Spiegel[3],
"an estimated 40,000 protesters turned up in Cologne's downtown Heumarkt area,
many wearing clown suits, to disrupt the rally. They blocked urban trains to
keep delegates away and raided a tourist boat shaped like a whale - called the
'Moby Dick' - where the far-right gathering had been hoping to hold a press
conference. A Pro Cologne spokesman said, 'Stones, bricks and paint bombs were
thrown and the panoramic windows of the Moby Dick were shattered.' Police
cancelled the rally after 45 minutes. Pro Cologne organisers had to dismantle
microphones and other equipment in Heumarkt while the overwhelmed riot cops
tried to hold back the crowd of protesters."
According to Der Spiegel, Police had
prepared for about 1,500 far-right activists, organised by the local 'Pro
Cologne' movement, to make a public show of discussing what they called the
'Islamisation' of Europe."
As the esteemed American writer and columnist Diana West[4] commented: "The
suggestion here is that no non-'far-right activist' could possibly be so 'far
right' as to imagine Europe is being Islamised….The point of the
anti-Islamisation rally was rational discussion. But Cologne proved it values
neither reason nor discussion. 'The city was ready.' For mob rule."
The supposedly conservative newspaper Die
Welt put up an online poll[5] asking their readers whether they thought it
was OK to ban the anti-Islamisation demonstration. According to the major blog Politically
Incorrect[6], as of midnight 86% disagreed with this policy. Suddenly, in the
middle of the night, thousands of votes miraculously came in and the poll ended
with exactly 50% in favor of the ban. Die
Welt deleted the comment section because many comments criticised the
decision to ban the Pro Cologne meeting.
Several eyewitnesses who were present this weekend were shocked by the behaviour
of the police, who in their eyes seemed to be acting as a surrogate of the
left-wing "antifa" groups (supposedly anti-Fascists, although they tend to
behave pretty much exactly like Fascists).
Aviel[7], a Jewish man who was beaten up in Cologne on 20 September, explains:
"My [Jewish] friend, Michael Kucherov was the first casualty here on Friday. He
got beaten up for trying to enter the first of our [=Pro Cologne] meetings on
Friday. I sorely resent myself for not being there at that time for him. It rips
me apart to hear about a Jew being beaten up in the streets of Germany. Well he
wouldn't be the only Jew. The next day as I was trying to enter Heumarkt, I was
beaten up by Antifa thugs on Eibahnstrasse. In both incidents, as we were being
beaten up, they were yelling and screaming 'Nazi' which was quite odd. Michael
dressed in a suit but I was wearing my kippa and quite easily identified as a
Jew so you can understand how odd it seems to be beaten by Germans in the street
and called Nazi when you are Jewish. Anyway, I am going home with a broken rib
but my pride still intact. I could have tried to escape or run but no way no how
and I going to run or get on my knees for these people. Not this Jew. And one
more thing, just let them all know that we (Jews) aren't all soft. Living here
in Europe, we battle thugs and islamists all the time and still ask for more.
That's why I travelled from France to Germany to make this conference. We are on
the frontline of a battle which grows darker by the minute."
A Norwegian man blogging under the name maalmannen experienced something similar
and posted many photos[8] from the event[9]:
"On several occasions, I observed people trying to join the demonstration being
attacked and chased away by the leftist counter-demonstration. In one case, an
old woman carrying a lot of anti-Islamisation posters was attacked by a gang of
Antifa activists. The rest of the crowd shouted 'Nazis raus' [Nazis out] when
these criminals attacked the old frau
and took all her posters away from her, and then ordered her to leave or risk
more attacks."
Spanish writer AMDG from the blog La Yijad en Eurabia[10] adds his observations:
"It was obviously not possible to enter the Heumarkt. I tried one of the narrow
streets of the old city; there was a line of antifas with black clothing and sun
glasses. They have even dared to place one of those plastic red-white stripes in
front of them. I told one of them that I wanted to cross, they say no way. One
of them spoke Spanish, and I ask her whether she was any authority, she
confirmed it 'we are the authority'. A line of anti-riot police agents was only
two metres 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.
Alternatively, we may think that the antifa-lefty militants are just the
stormtroopers (Sturmabteilung?) of the formal police."
A number of those demonstrating for "democracy" and against "extremism" were
Communists. I guess a hundred million dead victims of Communism in a few
generations isn't a sign of extremism. Some also carried anti-Israeli slogans
and merchandise using the icon of Marxist mass murderer and torturer Che
Guevara. It is well-known that hardline Marxist[11] organisations are still
strong and influential[12] in Germany, as in many other countries.
Many of those present noticed the militant-looking black outfits of some of the
extreme Leftist demonstrators, which seemed to match closely with their
attitudes. Since the term "Fascist" these days appears to be reserved for
anti-Islamists and "racist" critics of mass immigration in general and Muslim
immigration in particular, it is challenging to find a proper term for the
militant antifa crowd. "Red Nazis" could be useful, but perhaps "blackshirts" is
most appropriate, alluding to their black clothing and uniforms.
According to AMDG, "I think that we should repeat this rally every year. We need
to show the Europeans that the Nazis and the fascists are the lefties. We can
only make it by insisting. We need to join also the counterdemo with banners
showing verses of the Koran."
The decision to silence the demonstration against Islamisation was supported by
local authorities as well as national and probably supranational ones. Thomas
Steg, spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel, stated that Berlin favored
"inter-cultural dialogue." The German Interior Ministry, too, criticised 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[13] that "We don't want
their conference and along with a great majority of Cologne people we'll be
obstructing them."
In my view, Cologne Mayor Fritz Schramma is a dhimmi collaborator. His actions
betray his city, his country and his civilisation. This was a shameful act of
cowardice and appeasement of the Nazis of our time. The true heirs of the Nazis
and the Communists, both in totalitarian mentality and in methods, were the
blackshirt left-wingers who were present this day, not those who demonstrated
against the Islamisation of their continent. Schramma should resign immediately.
It is nothing less than an international disgrace that after Germany has been
freed from the Nazis and the Communists, the authorities in a major city in the
largest country in Europe kneel to totalitarian thugs and allow them to rule the
streets.
The blackshirts were deliberately allowed by the authorities to harass those who
are critical of the official pro-Islamic policies. This confirms my long-held
suspicion that the extreme Leftist thugs who assault immigration-critics in
certain countries are a prolonged arm of the state. The "anti-Fascists" AFA in
Sweden, for instance, openly brag about regular physical attacks against people
they don't like. They have been doing this for years. The media and the
authorities know about it and do nothing. They like it, plain and simple.
The state-sponsored organisation Expo in Sweden co-published a book with AFA on
critics of mass immigration. Expo has now provided[14] their material to the
largest political party in the country, the Social Democrats, for use against
their political rivals. The "respectable," state-funded organisation
Antirasistisk Senter, the Antiracist Center in Norway, at their home page
link[15] to AFA Stockholm, which they call "militant Swedish anti-Fascists." So
they do know they are "militant," but not so much that they won't link to them.
They also link to Antifaschistische Aktion (AFA) in Berlin, some of whose
members were probably among the brave "anti-Fascists" who assaulted "racist" old
ladies and Jewish "Nazis" in Cologne. The other organisations mentioned indicate
that these are recommended links, not just "relevant links." This is met with
silence from the mass media and the political class.
Norwegian newspaper Dagens Næringsliv
has earlier[16]exposed the fact that the largest "anti-racist" organisation in
the country, SOS Rasisme (the largest of its kind in Northern Europe with 40 000
members), was heavily infiltrated by Communists in the late 1980s and early 90s,
in other words, during the downfall of Communism in Eastern Europe. They went
directly from Communism to multiculturalism, which indicates that some of them
view multiculturalism as the continuation of Communism by other means. SOS
Rasisme lynch mobs and activists have on several occasions assaulted cultural
conservatives physically and continue to do so. The organisation receives
financial aid from the Norwegian government which has totalled several million
NOK over the last years. As such SOS Rasisme is an extended arm of the Norwegian
Labour party, Socialist Left Party and Rødt which serves the purpose of
silencing political dissidents.
The state-funded Islamic Council of Norway admit that they receive "guidance"
from the Muslim Brotherhood's spiritual leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi and his Fatwa
Council, who are debating whether or not gays should be killed, among other
things. He has also supported suicide bombings and marriage to girls aged nine
years old. Meanwhile, a Socialist named Lars Gule, who was once arrested
traveling to the Jewish state of Israel with dynamite in his backpack with the
intention of blowing up stuff, suggested on a major blog that the security
services should have me under surveillance because I am a dangerous "right-wing
extremist."
One of the foreign visitors, the Flemish politician Filip Dewinter,
criticised[17] Cologne Mayor Schramma and compared him to Freddy Thielemans, the
Socialist Mayor of Brussels, Belgium, who in 2007 and 2008 banned demonstrations
commemorating the 2001 9/11 terror victims in the USA because he didn't want to
upset the local Muslims. "Brussels and Cologne have mayors who kneel and submit
to Islamisation," Dewinter said.
I checked the front page of the major American "anti-Jihad" website Little Green
Footballs (LGF) from Friday 19 to Tuesday September 23 2008 to check what
blogger Charles Johnson wrote about the demonstration. As far as I could see, he
remained completely silent on the subject, yet there is no doubt that he was
aware of the event. On Sep 8 he wrote about Fascists Hijacking Anti-Jihadism in
Cologne”[18]" and stated that "Here we go again, as an all-star cast of European
fascists hijacks the anti-jihad movement for their own sick political purposes."
One of these "Fascist bastards" (Johnson's words) was Dewinter, with his "Cities
against islamisation" project. Mr. Johnson himself noted that the leaders of the
Islamic Republic of Iran, hardly a beacon of tolerance and enlightenment, urged
the European Union (not Germany, interestingly enough) to intervene and stop
this planned "anti-Islamic" meeting, and Johnson concluded that "The Iranian
mullahs couldn't have asked for better propaganda."
The Iranians[19] put pressure on the EU several times and summoned the French
ambassador - France held the rotating presidency of the EU - to expressed deep
concern over the EU's lenient behaviour toward anti-Islamic sentiments in Europe
and suggested that European authorities prohibited the conference. Shouldn't the
"anti-Jihadist" Johnson and his followers be concerned over the fact that they
end up on the same side as a repressive and terrorist-sponsoring Islamic state
against Westerners fighting for their freedom? Apparently not.
Just a few days before this, the "Fascist bastard" Filip Dewinter[20] received
the "Oriana Fallaci Prize" in Florence for his work with "Cities Against
Islamisation," among other things. The prize is named after the
courageous Italian Islam-critical journalist and writer Oriana Fallaci. The
irony is that Mr. Johnson kept a photo of Fallaci on his frontpage for several
years, but at the time of writing, this photo has suddenly and mysteriously
disappeared. I guess Fallaci was a Fascist, too, just like Dewinter, myself and
everybody else who doesn't believe in the myth of a moderate Islam. Dutch
politician Geert Wilders does not appear to believe in the existence of a
moderate Islam, either. When will LGF declare him a Fascist?
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. Imagine if a house is on fire. The fire brigade has just arrived to
put out the fire, but the neighbour won't allow them to use the local water
because he fears it may be impure. He will only accept that they use holy water
- distilled holy water - and only if it has been blessed by a lesbian priest who
supports voting rights for illegal immigrants. Since the firefighters don't have
this available, the house burns down, but the neighbour takes comforting in
knowing that at least the remaining ash is ideologically pure. This is Little
Green Football's attitude to the threat faced by the Western world. In fact,
their attitude is to say that the water is more dangerous than the fire itself,
and to beat the firefighters with their umbrellas while screaming "Fascist
bastards!"
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. If we are
not the former, then it follows by logic that we have to be the latter. This
attitude betrays an all-pervasive hatred that demonises absolutely anything
Europeans do to protect their dignity and heritage. It closely mirrors
multiculturalism, which is an anti-Western, but especially anti-European, hate
ideology.
One of the reasons why hardcore anti-Semites (David Duke[21] 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. The same logic applies to hardcore
anti-Europeans, of which there are many even at "conservative" websites such as
LGF. They have an irrational hatred, a dark cloud in their minds which prevents
them from seeing the world clearly. In a way, some LGF-ers thus have more in
common with David Duke than they'd like to admit. If mindless anti-Semitism and
anti-Americanism should be considered a problem then so should mindless
anti-Europeanism.
This weekend, we witnessed how violent thugs threatened, assaulted and in some
cases beat up people they disagreed with, several of them Jews. These
"anti-Fascist" blackshirts are closely related to the violent totalitarian
movements of past generations, in their dress code, mentality and willingness to
silence freedom of speech by brute force. In short, they resemble Fascists and
Communists (some of them were Communists). What has Little Green Footballs,
which never misses an opportunity to denounce "Fascists," written about this? So
far, absolutely nothing. There are indeed people who behave like Fascists in
Europe, and they receive tacit support from LGF while their victims are
denounced as "Fascists."
I have watched, for the better part of a year, a number of decent human beings
including, but not limited to, Pamela Geller, Paul Belien, Diana West, the Baron
and Dymphna from the Gates of Vienna blog and many others, being at the
receiving end of a vicious smear campaign from Charles Johnson and Little Green
Footballs which is unlike anything I have seen in my life. After engaging in an
insane witch-hunt on imaginary Fascists, whose ranks seem to grow every month,
Mr. Johnson now suddenly chooses to look the other way in silence when very real
Fascists use violence to silence their critics in a major Western city. I admit
that makes me angry, and I think I have the right to be so.
The time has now come for Mr. Johnson to apologise in public to the numerous
people he has smeared since the fall of 2007, starting with the ones I have
mentioned above. It's not their credibility that's on the line here. It's his.
If he continues to undermine those confronting Islamic infiltration, it will
become increasingly difficult for LGF to present itself as an anti-Jihad website
at all. 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.
Further comment:
ANTIFA are often the useful and “extended arm” of the current cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist establishment and they have been active since the 60’s
and 70’s.
A majority of European countries have groups like AFA and RF - bashing,
harassing and terrorising all people who oppose or critisise mass Muslim
immigration. There has been more than 180 registered cases of extreme leftwing
violence in Sweden the last three years[22]. In Oslo, Norway, the national
variant is called “Blitz” and SOS Rasisme, state sponsored extreme left
movements (lynchmobs), similar to AFA. A majority of the political parties have
for the last decades shown direct and indirect support for this group and have
funded the “Blitz house”. The apartment block was originally occupied but is now
funded and renovated by the current Oslo City Council.

Manifestations of multiculturalism results in extremely disproportionate
representation of group oriented interest organisations. The only charitable
organisation working for the interest of English people are mocked and
persecuted, being labeled as a racist organisation, while thousands of other
organisations (215 working for the interest of Somalis, 92 for Pakistanis, even
144 for black interest) are never criticised due to the doctrines known as
political correctness/cultural Marxism/multiculturalism. This tendency further
underlines and documents how multiculturalism is an anti-European hate ideology
designed to destroy European traditions, cultures and identities.
The same tendencies are prevalent in other Western European countries as well.
Finnish people living in England and Wales have 11 charitable organisations
which work exclusively for the benefit and interest of the Finnish people. The
Chinese have 164 such charitable organisations, the Somalis have an incredible
215 despite, in addition there are "about 1200" Jewish charities but at the
bottom of the table are the English who (at present) make up the vast majority
of the population of England and Wales and have just 1 (yes one!) called The
Steadfast Trust working on behalf of English people and their interests in an
increasingly fragmented and divided society.
On the 8th October a supporter of the Steadfast
Trust made a Freedom of Information request to the Charity
Commission asking how many charities, like the Steadfast Trust, specified one of
their beneficiary category codes as being..."for people of a particular ethnic
or racial origin"
Due to a fortunate coincidence the Commission was already
conducting research in this area and provided a table
of the interim results.
The Charity Commission has approximately 159,600
registered charities, although it should be noted that this figure is fairly
volatile due to the registration of excepted charities and removal of inactive
charities.
Around 15,500 charities have ticked the code ‘for people
of a particular ethnic or racial origin’, however many are excluded from the
research since they only operate abroad. There are about 6,860 charities
identified that operate within the nations of England and Wales.
The top ten most charity represented ethnic / racial
origin groups (based on the number of charities) is as follows...
-
Jewish about 1200
-
African 673
-
Bangladeshi / Bengali 417
-
Asian 331
-
Somali 215
-
India 209
-
Caribbean 198
-
Chinese 164
-
Black 144*
-
Pakistani 92
*the EHRC have been informed of this category term (i.e. Black) due to the
concern that it may violate the Race Relations Act 1976, which is believed to
prohibit the use of skin-colour as a means of distinguishing beneficiaries.
The purpose of charities is to work for the benefit and
interests of their target group. As the full table shows, the English are not
even listed (meaning that there are under ‘10’ throughout England and Wales),
which indicates that they are not ethnically well represented on a specific
basis. This is both surprising and unfortunate since it implies that the largest
ethnic group is disenfranchised and potentially neglected.
It is hoped that the Steadfast Trust (as the only known
charity for the English people of England) can address this balance in a small
way. Steadfast Trust Trustee, Lynn Chorley says:
"It is a sad truth that a few, very few in number, have
raised concerns that our charity may be discriminative. Of course this is not
the case; in fact the discrimination comes about where only the majority ethnic
group of England isn’t allowed a charity for its own people, resulting in us
being massively under-represented.
We believe that our work at offering a vital sense of cultural identity, through
education and activities will have a positive impact on society as a whole, and
we welcome all the support that has been given."

Trust site.

John H. McWhorter
Not long ago, I was having lunch in a KFC in Harlem, sitting near eight
African-American boys, aged about 14. Since 1) it was 1:30 on a school day, 2)
they were carrying book bags, and 3) they seemed to be in no hurry, I assumed
they were skipping school. They were extremely loud and unruly, tossing food at
one another and leaving it on the floor.
Black people ran the restaurant and made up the bulk of the customers, but it
was hard to see much healthy “black community” here. After repeatedly warning
the boys to stop throwing food and keep quiet, the manager finally told them to
leave. The kids ignored her. Only after she called a male security guard did
they start slowly making their way out, tauntingly circling the restaurant
before ambling off. These teens clearly weren’t monsters, but they seemed to
consider themselves exempt from public norms of behaviour—as if they had begun
to check out of mainstream society.
What struck me most, though, was how fully the boys’ music—hard-edged rap,
preaching bone-deep dislike of authority—provided them with a continuing
soundtrack to their antisocial behaviour. So completely was rap ingrained in
their consciousness that every so often, one or another of them would break into
cocky, expletive-laden rap lyrics, accompanied by the angular, bellicose
gestures typical of rap performance. A couple of his buddies would then join
him. Rap was a running decoration in their conversation.
Many writers and thinkers see a kind of informed political engagement, even a
revolutionary potential, in rap and hip-hop. They couldn’t be more wrong. By
reinforcing the stereotypes that long hindered blacks, and by teaching young
blacks that a thuggish adversarial stance is the properly “authentic” response
to a presumptively racist society, rap retards black success.
The venom that suffuses rap had little place in black popular culture—indeed, in
black attitudes—before the 1960s. The hip-hop ethos can trace its genealogy to
the emergence in that decade of a black ideology that equated black strength and
authentic black identity with a militantly adversarial stance toward American
society. In the angry new mood, captured by Malcolm X’s upraised fist, many
blacks (and many more white liberals) began to view black crime and violence as
perfectly natural, even appropriate, responses to the supposed dehumanisation
and poverty inflicted by a racist society. Briefly, this militant spirit,
embodied above all in the Black Panthers, infused black popular culture, from
the plays of LeRoi Jones to “blaxploitation” movies, like Melvin Van Peebles’s
Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song, which celebrated the black criminal rebel as
a hero.
But blaxploitation and similar genres burned out fast. The memory of whites
blatantly stereotyping blacks was too recent for the typecasting in something
like Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song not to offend many blacks. Observed black
historian Lerone Bennett: “There is a certain grim white humour in the fact that
the black marches and demonstrations of the 1960s reached artistic fulfilment”
with “provocative and ultimately insidious reincarnations of all the Sapphires
and Studds of yesteryear.”
Early rap mostly steered clear of the Sapphires and Studds, beginning not as a
growl from below but as happy party music. The first big rap hit, the Sugar Hill
Gang’s 1978 “Rapper’s Delight,” featured a catchy bass groove that drove the
music forward, as the jolly rapper celebrated himself as a ladies’ man and a
great dancer. Soon, kids across America were rapping along with the nonsense
chorus:
I said a hip, hop, the hippie, the hippie,
to the hip-hip hop, ah you don’t stop
the rock it to the bang bang boogie, say
up jump the boogie,
to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat.
A string of ebullient raps ensued in the months ahead. At the time, I assumed it
was a harmless craze, certain to run out of steam soon.
But rap took a dark turn in the early 1980s, as this “bubble gum” music gave way
to a “gangsta” style that picked up where blaxploitation left off. Now top
rappers began to write edgy lyrics celebrating street warfare or drugs and
promiscuity. Grandmaster Flash’s ominous 1982 hit, “The Message,” with its
chorus, “It’s like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going
under,” marked the change in sensibility. It depicted ghetto life as profoundly
desolate:
You grow in the ghetto, living second rate
And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate.
The places you play and where you stay
Looks like one great big alley way.
You’ll admire all the numberbook takers,
Thugs, pimps and pushers, and the big money makers.
Music critics fell over themselves to praise “The Message,” treating it as the
poetry of the streets—as the elite media has characterised hip-hop ever since.
The song’s grim fatalism struck a chord; twice, I’ve heard blacks in audiences
for talks on race cite the chorus to underscore a point about black victimhood.
So did the warning it carried: “Don’t push me, ’cause I’m close to the edge,”
menacingly raps Melle Mel. The ultimate message of “The Message”—that ghetto
life is so hopeless that an explosion of violence is both justified and
imminent—would become a hip-hop mantra in the years ahead.
The angry, oppositional stance that “The Message” reintroduced into black
popular culture transformed rap from a fad into a multi-billion-dollar industry
that sold more than 80 million records in the U.S. in 2002—nearly 13 percent of
all recordings sold. To rap producers like Russell Simmons, earlier black pop
was just sissy music. He despised the “soft, unaggressive music (and
non-threatening images)” of artists like Michael Jackson or Luther Vandross. “So
the first chance I got,” he says, “I did exactly the opposite.”
In the two decades since “The Message,” hip-hop performers have churned out
countless rap numbers that celebrate a ghetto life of unending violence and
criminality. Schooly D’s “PSK What Does It Mean?” is a case in point:
Copped my pistols, jumped into the ride.
Got at the bar, copped some flack,
Copped some cheeba-cheeba, it wasn’t wack.
Got to the place, and who did I see?
A sucka-ass nigga tryin to sound like me.
Put my pistol up against his head—
I said, “Sucka-ass nigga, I should shoot you dead.”
The protagonist of a rhyme by KRS-One (a hip-hop star who would later speak out
against rap violence) actually pulls the trigger:
Knew a drug dealer by the name of Peter—
Had to buck him down with my 9 millimetre.
Police forces became marauding invaders in the gangsta-rap imagination. The late
West Coast rapper Tupac Shakur expressed the attitude:
Ya gotta know how to shake the snakes, nigga,
’Cause the police love to break a nigga,
Send him upstate ’cause they straight up hate the nigga.
Shakur’s anti-police tirade seems tame, however, compared with Ice-T’s infamous
“Cop Killer”:
I got my black shirt on.
I got my black gloves on.
I got my ski mask on.
This shit’s been too long.
I got my 12-gauge sawed-off.
I got my headlights turned off.
I’m ’bout to bust some shots off.
I’m ’bout to dust some cops off. . . .
I’m ’bout to kill me somethin’
A pig stopped me for nuthin’!
Cop killer, better you than me.
Cop killer, fuck police brutality! . . .
Die, die, die pig, die!
Fuck the police! . . .
Fuck the police yeah!
Rap also began to offer some of the most icily misogynistic music human history
has ever known. Here’s Schooly D again:
Tell you now, brother, this ain’t no joke,
She got me to the crib, she laid me on the bed,
I fucked her from my toes to the top of my head.
I finally realised the girl was a whore,
Gave her ten dollars, she asked me for some more.
Jay-Z’s “Is That Yo Bitch?” mines similar themes:
I don’t love ’em, I fuck ’em.
I don’t chase ’em, I duck ’em.
I replace ’em with another one. . . .
She be all on my dick.
Or, as N.W.A. (an abbreviation of “Niggers with Attitude”) tersely sums up the
hip-hop worldview: “Life ain’t nothin’ but bitches and money.”
Rap’s musical accompaniment mirrors the brutality of rap lyrics in its harshness
and repetition. Simmons fashions his recordings in contempt for euphony. “What
we used for melody was implied melody, and what we used for music was
sounds—beats, scratches, stuff played backward, nothing pretty or sweet.” The
success of hip-hop has resulted in an ironic reversal. In the seventies,
screaming hard rock was in fashion among young whites, while sweet, sinuous funk
and soul ruled the black airwaves—a difference I was proud of. But in the
eighties, rock quieted down, and black music became the assault on the ears and
soul. Anyone who grew up in urban America during the eighties won’t soon forget
the young men strolling down streets, blaring this sonic weapon from their boom
boxes, with defiant glares daring anyone to ask them to turn it down.
Hip-hop exploded into popular consciousness at the same time as the music video,
and rappers were soon all over MTV, reinforcing in images the ugly world
portrayed in rap lyrics. Video after video features rap stars flashing jewelry,
driving souped-up cars, sporting weapons, angrily gesticulating at the camera,
and cavorting with interchangeable, mindlessly gyrating, scantily clad women.
Of course, not all hip-hop is belligerent or profane—entire CDs of gang-bangin’,
police-baiting, woman-bashing invective would get old fast to most listeners.
But it’s the nastiest rap that sells best, and the nastiest cuts that make a
career. As I write, the top ten best-selling hip-hop recordings are 50 Cent
(currently with the second-best-selling record in the nation among all musical
genres), Bone Crusher, Lil’ Kim, Fabolous, Lil’ Jon and the East Side Boyz,
Cam’ron Presents the Diplomats, Busta Rhymes, Scarface, Mobb Deep, and Eminem.
Every one of these groups or performers personifies willful, staged opposition
to society—Lil’ Jon and crew even regale us with a song called “Don’t Give a
Fuck”—and every one celebrates the ghetto as “where it’s at.” Thus, the
occasional dutiful songs in which a rapper urges men to take responsibility for
their kids or laments senseless violence are mere garnish. Keeping the thug
front and center has become the quickest and most likely way to become a star.
No hip-hop luminary has worked harder than Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, the wildly
successful rapper, producer, fashion mogul, and CEO of Bad Boy Records, to
cultivate a gangsta image—so much so that he’s blurred the line between playing
the bad boy and really being one. Combs may have grown up middle-class in Mount
Vernon, New York, and even have attended Howard University for a while, but he’s
proven he can gang-bang with the worst. Cops charged Combs with possession of a
deadly weapon in 1995. In 1999, he faced charges for assaulting a rival record
executive. Most notoriously, police charged him that year with firing a gun at a
nightclub in response to an insult, injuring three bystanders, and with fleeing
the scene with his entourage (including then-pal Jennifer “J. Lo” Lopez). Combs
got off, but his young rapper prot&#eacute;g#é Jamal “Shyne” Barrow went to
prison for firing the gun.
Combs and his crew are far from alone among rappers in keeping up the connection
between “rap and rap sheet,” as critic Kelefa Sanneh artfully puts it. Several
prominent rappers, including superstar Tupac Shakur, have gone down in hails of
bullets—with other rappers often suspected in the killings. Death Row Records
producer Marion “Suge” Knight just finished a five-year prison sentence for
assault and federal weapons violations. Current rage 50 Cent flaunts his bullet
scars in photos; cops recently arrested him for hiding assault weapons in his
car. Of the top ten hip-hop sellers mentioned above, five have had scrapes with
the law. In 2000, at least five different fights broke out at the Source Hiphop
Awards—intended to be the rap industry’s Grammys. The final brawl, involving up
to 100 people in the audience and spilling over onto the stage, shut the
ceremony down—right after a video tribute to slain rappers. Small wonder a
popular rap website goes by the name rapsheet.com.
Many fans, rappers, producers, and intellectuals defend hip-hop’s violence, both
real and imagined, and its misogyny as a revolutionary cry of frustration from
disempowered youth. For Simmons, gangsta raps “teach listeners something about
the lives of the people who create them and remind them that these people
exist.” 50 Cent recently told Vibe magazine, “Mainstream America can look at me
and say, ‘That’s the mentality of a young man from the ’hood.’ ” University of
Pennsylvania black studies professor Michael Eric Dyson has written a
book-length paean to Shakur, praising him for “challenging narrow artistic
visions of black identity” and for “artistically exploring the attractions and
limits of black moral and social subcultures”—just one of countless fawning
treatises on rap published in recent years. The National Council of Teachers of
English, recommending the use of hip-hop lyrics in urban public school
classrooms (as already happens in schools in Oakland, Los Angeles, and other
cities), enthuses that “hip-hop can be used as a bridge linking the seemingly
vast span between the streets and the world of academics.”
But we’re sorely lacking in imagination if in 2003—long after the civil rights
revolution proved a success, at a time of vaulting opportunity for African
Americans, when blacks find themselves at the top reaches of society and
politics—we think that it signals progress when black kids rattle off violent,
sexist, nihilistic, lyrics, like Russians reciting Pushkin. Some defended
blaxploitation pictures as revolutionary, too, but the passage of time has
exposed the silliness of such a contention. “The message of Sweetback is that if
you can get it together and stand up to the Man, you can win,” Van Peebles once
told an interviewer. But win what? All Sweetback did, from what we see in the
movie, was avoid jail—and it would be nice to have more useful counsel on
overcoming than “kicking the Man’s ass.” Claims about rap’s political potential
will look equally gestural in the future. How is it progressive to describe life
as nothing but “bitches and money”? Or to tell impressionable black kids, who’d
find every door open to them if they just worked hard and learned, that blowing
a rival’s head off is “real”? How helpful is rap’s sexism in a community plagued
by rampant illegitimacy and an excruciatingly low marriage rate?
The idea that rap is an authentic cry against oppression is all the sillier when
you recall that black Americans had lots more to be frustrated about in the past
but never produced or enjoyed music as nihilistic as 50 Cent or N.W.A. On the
contrary, black popular music was almost always affirmative and hopeful. Nor do
we discover music of such violence in places of great misery like Ethiopia or
the Congo—unless it’s imported American hip-hop.
Given the hip-hop world’s reflexive alienation, it’s no surprise that its
explicit political efforts, such as they are, are hardly progressive. Simmons
has founded the “Hip-Hop Summit Action Network” to bring rap stars and fans
together in order to forge a “bridge between hip-hop and politics.” But HSAN’s
policy positions are mostly tired bromides. Sticking with the long-discredited
idea that urban schools fail because of inadequate funding from the stingy,
racist white Establishment, for example, HSAN joined forces with the teachers’
union to protest New York mayor Bloomberg’s proposed education budget for its
supposed lack of generosity. HSAN has also stuck it to President Bush for
invading Iraq. And it has vociferously protested the affixing of advisory labels
on rap CDs that warn parents about the obscene language inside. Fighting for
rappers’ rights to obscenity: that’s some kind of revolution!
Okay, maybe rap isn’t progressive in any meaningful sense, some observers will
admit; but isn’t it just a bunch of kids blowing off steam and so nothing to
worry about? I think that response is too easy. With music videos, DVD players,
Walkmans, the Internet, clothes, and magazines all making hip-hop an
accompaniment to a person’s entire existence, we need to take it more seriously.
In fact, I would argue that it is seriously harmful to the black community.
The rise of nihilistic rap has mirrored the breakdown of community norms among
inner-city youth over the last couple of decades. It was just as gangsta rap hit
its stride that neighbourhood elders began really to notice that they’d lost
control of young black men, who were frequently drifting into lives of gang
violence and drug dealing. Well into the seventies, the ghetto was a shabby part
of town, where, despite unemployment and rising illegitimacy, a healthy number
of people were doing their best to “keep their heads above water,” as the theme
song of the old black sitcom Good Times put it.
By the eighties, the ghetto had become a ruleless war zone, where black people
were their own worst enemies. It would be silly, of course, to blame hip-hop for
this sad downward spiral, but by glamorising life in the “war zone,” it has made
it harder for many of the kids stuck there to extricate themselves. Seeing a
privileged star like Sean Combs behave like a street thug tells those kids that
there’s nothing more authentic than ghetto pathology, even when you’ve got
wealth beyond imagining.
The attitude and style expressed in the hip-hop “identity” keeps blacks down.
Almost all hip-hop, gangsta or not, is delivered with a cocky, confrontational
cadence that is fast becoming—as attested to by the rowdies at KFC—a common
speech style among young black males. Similarly, the arm-slinging, hand-hurling
gestures of rap performers have made their way into many young blacks’ casual
gesticulations, becoming integral to their self-expression. The problem with
such speech and mannerisms is that they make potential employers wary of young
black men and can impede a young black’s ability to interact comfortably with
co-workers and customers. The black community has gone through too much to
sacrifice upward mobility to the passing kick of an adversarial hip-hop
“identity.”
On a deeper level, there is something truly unsettling and tragic about the fact
that blacks have become the main agents in disseminating debilitating—dare I say
racist—images of themselves. Rap guru Russell Simmons claims that “the coolest
stuff about American culture—be it language, dress, or attitude—comes from the
underclass. Always has and always will.” Yet back in the bad old days, blacks
often complained—with some justification—that the media too often depicted
blacks simply as uncivilised. Today, even as television and films depict blacks
at all levels of success, hip-hop sends the message that blacks are . . .
uncivilised. I find it striking that the cry-racism crowd doesn’t condemn it.
For those who insist that even the invisible structures of society reinforce
racism, the burden of proof should rest with them to explain just why hip-hop’s
bloody and sexist lyrics and videos and the criminal behaviour of many rappers
wouldn’t have a powerfully negative effect upon whites’ conception of black
people.
Sadly, some black leaders just don’t seem to care what lesson rap conveys.
Consider Savannah’s black high schools, which hosted the local rapper Camoflauge
as a guest speaker several times before his murder earlier this year. Here’s a
representative lyric:
Gimme tha keys to tha car, I’m ready for war.
When we ride on these niggas smoke that ass like a ’gar.
Hit your block with a Glock, clear the set with a Tech . . . .
You think I’m jokin, see if you laughing when tha pistol be smokin—
Leave you head split wide open
And you bones get broken. . . .
More than a few of the Concerned Black People inviting this “artist” to speak to
the impressionable youth of Savannah would presumably be the first to cry out
about “how whites portray blacks in the media.”
Far from decrying the stereotypes rampant in rap’s present-day blaxploitation,
many hip-hop defenders pull the “whitey-does-it-too” trick. They point to the
Godfather movies or The Sopranos as proof that violence and vulgarity are
widespread in American popular culture, so that singling out hip-hop for
condemnation is simply bigotry. Yet such a defence is pitifully weak. No one
really looks for a way of life to emulate or a political project to adopt in The
Sopranos. But for many of its advocates, hip-hop, with its fantasies of
revolution and community and politics, is more than entertainment. It forms a
bedrock of young black identity.
Nor will it do to argue that hip-hop isn’t “black” music, since most of its
buyers are white, or because the “hip-hop revolution” is nominally open to
people of all colours. That whites buy more hip-hop recordings than blacks do is
hardly surprising, given that whites vastly outnumber blacks nationwide. More to
the point, anyone who claims that rap isn’t black music will need to reconcile
that claim with the widespread wariness among blacks of white rappers like
Eminem, accused of “stealing our music and giving it back to us.”
At 2 AM on the New York subway not long ago, I saw another scene—more
dispiriting than my KFC encounter with the rowdy rapping teens—that captures the
essence of rap’s destructiveness. A young black man entered the car and began to
rap loudly—profanely, arrogantly—with the usual wild gestures. This went on for
five irritating minutes. When no one paid attention, he moved on to another car,
all the while spouting his doggerel. This was what this young black man
presented as his message to the world—his oratory, if you will.
Anyone who sees such behaviour as a path to a better future—anyone, like
Professor Dyson, who insists that hip-hop is an urgent “critique of a society
that produces the need for the thug persona”—should step back and ask himself
just where, exactly, the civil rights–era blacks might have gone wrong in
lacking a hip-hop revolution. They created the world of equality, striving, and
success I live and thrive in.
A majority of manifestations spawned by Hip-hop create nothing and act like a
destructive force.
End note: a further elaboration on the negative impacts of the ethnic industries
(and solutions to solve them) is found in book 3 of this compendium under the
name: “The destructive forces of the diversity/ multiculturalist industry,
comments and solutions”.
By Fjordman
“The world has always belonged to the stronger, and will belong to them for many
years to come. Men only respect those who make themselves respected. Whoever
becomes a lamb will find a wolf to eat him. “
Vilfredo Pareto
The girlfriend of a politician from the Sweden Democrats, a small party critical
of mass immigration, was recently attacked[1] at her home outside Stockholm. The
young woman was found bound with duct tape[2] in the apartment block where she
lives with Martin Kinnunen, chairman of the youth wing of the SD. Three men had
forced their way into the couple’s apartment and held the 19-year-old at knife
point. Kinnunen tells of several threats and anonymous phone calls to the
family. He blames the media[3] for systematically portraying the SD as monsters
and thus for legitimising aggression against them, and claims that the Swedish
democracy is a sham.
Antifascistisk Aktion[4], a group that supposedly fights against “racists,”
openly brag about numerous physical attacks against persons with their full name
and address published on their website. Only a week after this group harassed a
Swedish judge[5] and vandalised his house, members demonstrated alongside the
Swedish police, the Swedish government[6] and the Swedish media establishment
during Pride Week, Stockholm’s annual gay celebration, in August 2007. At the
very end of the Pride Parade marched a group of black-clothed and masked
representatives of AFA[7]. Adjacent to them marched a number of policemen,
including members of the Swedish Gay Police organisation.
At their website[8], AFA claim to have beaten several homophobes during the
event, at least one of whom ended up in a hospital. They are Socialists, and as
Socialists they are convinced that progress can only be made through struggle,
and it is implicit that they mean violent struggle: “If we want to fight against
capitalism, the working class needs to be united, and in order to be so
intolerance cannot be tolerated. However, if we want to fight against
intolerance we have to defeat capitalism as an extension of that struggle. Hence
anti-fascism, feminism and the struggle against homophobia go hand in hand with
the class struggle!”
According to Politikerbloggen[9], AFA have produced a manual about how to use
violence in order to paralyze and hurt their opponents, and they encourage their
members to study it closely. Meanwhile, senior members of law enforcement are
too busy waving plastic penises to care. It’s all for tolerance, and then there
is this small group at the back, behind the police, the media and the cultural
and political establishment, ready to assault, beat up and hospitalise anybody
deemed to be insufficiently tolerant.
Several of the Centre Party’s[10] offices were vandalised before the elections
in 2006 in protest against a proposal for new labour agreements. This was done
by a coalition of left-wing extremists calling themselves the Invisible
Party[11]. AFA participated, as they proudly proclaim[12] on their website. The
centre-right coalition government which gained power that year consists of four
parties including the Centre Party. A year later, representatives from this
government walked alongside the same group which had attacked their offices a
few months earlier.
Broderskapsrörelsen[13] (“The Brotherhood”), an organisation of Christian
members of the Swedish Social Democratic Party, has decided[14] to establish a
network for people of other faiths, which largely seems to mean Muslims. Its
leader Peter Weiderud says that “I’m incredibly happy that a unanimous congress
now leaves the door open for Muslims and others to work together with us in the
Brotherhood; this is going to enrich us all and help the [Social Democratic]
Party to better influence the Swedish society.” For Abdulkader Habib, active
within the Muslim Brotherhood, the decision is a historic step which shows that
the dividing lines in society do not go between religions, but within religions:
“Faith and politics are intertwined for many Muslims, which is why the decision
to create this network is a key to the crucial work for integration that we need
to do.” “We shouldn’t disregard the importance of people’s [religious] faith,”
says deputy leader Cecilia Dalman-Eek. “At the same time, this is both
instructive and inspiring for us Christians within the Brotherhood. This is
about an exciting growth of new mass movements and is a part of the new Sweden.”
The Social Democrat Ola Johansson, a member of the
Brotherhood, has referred to the book Social Justice in Islam by Sayyid Qutb,
the notorious Muslim Brotherhood member who has become the spiritual guide for
Islamic Jihad terrorists worldwide, as a proof that Muslims support the welfare
state and can thus make common cause with the Socialists.
According to writer Nima Sanandaji[15],
the Social Democrats have started fishing for votes with the help of radical
Muslims clergies such as the influential leader Mahmoud Aldebe. In 1999, Aldebe
proposed that sharia, Islamic law, be introduced in Sweden. In 2003 he involved
himself in a heated debate regarding an incident of honour killing where a
Kurdish girl was murdered by her two uncles. Aldebe forcefully defended the
perpetrators and viewed the debate regarding honour-related murders as an attack
against the Islamic religion.
In 2006, the Muslim Association of Sweden demanded in a
letter, signed by its leader Mahmoud Aldebe, separate family laws regulating
marriage and divorce, public schools with imams teaching homogeneous classes of
Muslims children their religion and the language of their original homeland, and
a “mosque in every municipality to be built through interest-free loans made
available by the local municipalities.” This to demonstrate “Islam’s right to
exist in Sweden” and to “heighten the status of and respect towards Muslims.”
The demands were rejected by the Social Democrats then, but it now appears as if
they have recognised that they need to cooperate with the fast-growing Muslim
community if they want to regain power, so we shouldn’t be surprised to see
calls for the use of sharia law in family matters by an otherwise officially
feminist party.
The Social Democrats narrowly lost the elections in 2006,
and appear to have decided that the way to regain and maintain power is to
import voters, a strategy adopted by many of their sister parties[16]
in Western Europe. The Muslim Association of Sweden is generally viewed as
ideologically inspired by the Muslim Brotherhood.
The current leader of the Social Democrats, Mona Sahlin[17],
thinks that “the Sweden Democrats are a right-wing party. It is a misogynistic
and xenophobic party.” The “party is a threat to a Sweden that I believe many of
us love — an open, unprejudiced and tolerant Sweden.”
Whatever else one thinks about that party, I’m not so
sure the Muslim Brotherhood are less “misogynistic.” According to journalist
Kurt Lundgren[18], Sahlin, expected to become the
next Prime Minister, was a participant in the Pride Festival where she was
graduated, after several questions, to the F***ing Medal Award. Has she given
some thought to what effect this will have in a country with exploding rape
statistics[19]? According to the blogger Dick
Erixon[20], the number of reported rapes in Sweden
is now three times as high as in New York. NY has roughly the same number of
inhabitants, but it is a metropolis, whereas Sweden is a country with mostly
rural areas and villages. Swedish girls are called “infidel whores” on a regular
basis and are increasingly scared to go outside, yet the nation’s arguably most
powerful woman takes the F***ing Medal Award. How will that be perceived by
Muslim immigrants?
Moreover, how will her views on sexual liberation be
reconciled with her party’s cooperation with the Muslim Brotherhood, since
several of its senior international leaders[21]
have indicated that gays should be killed? The Swedish Church has recently
announced that it will allow gay couples to marry in church. Will Sahlin and the
Social Democrats also make sure that gay couples should be allowed to marry in
mosques controlled by the MB? More interestingly, will AFA attack them for
homophobia if they refuse?
Marcos Cantera Carlomagno in 1995 published a PhD thesis
at Lund University describing a series of letters sent by Per Albin Hansson[22],
leader of the Social Democrats and Prime Minister between 1932 and 1946, who
worked for the establishment of “Folkhemmet,” the People’s Home, as the Swedish
welfare state model became known as. Hansson was a dear pen pal with Italy’s
Fascist leader Mussolini and praised the corporate, Fascist system where the
entire economy and each individual were intimately tied to and subordinate to
the state. Hansson was positively disposed to Fascism and saw his welfare state
as a related concept. After mentioning his work in a local newspaper, Carlomagno
was called by his supervisor who stated in anger that his scholarship would be
cut off. Carlomagno’s work was totally ignored by the entire media and political
establishment in Sweden when it appeared in the 1990s.
Why did this information meet with such repression?
Because the power of the political and cultural establishment is not based on
reasoned discussion but on shaming opponents and branding them as evil with
words loaded with emotions and taboo. Terms such as “racist”, “Fascist”, and
“Nazi” automatically shut down any rational discussion of a subject. The irony
is that a similar strategy was employed with great success by.....the Nazis.
Adolf Hitler described how to use “spiritual terror” to
intimidate and silence opponents, a technique he learned from watching the
Socialists and the Social Democrats. He understood “the infamous spiritual
terror which this movement exerts, particularly on the bourgeoisie, which is
neither morally nor mentally equal to such attacks; at a given sign it unleashes
a veritable barrage of lies and slanders against whatever adversary seems most
dangerous, until the nerves of the attacked persons break down and, just to have
peace again, they sacrifice the hated individual… Conversely, they praise every
weakling on the opposing side, sometimes cautiously, sometimes loudly, depending
on the real or supposed quality of his intelligence.”
In 2006, the newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported
that following recommendations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, priests in
the Swedish Church[23] applied German race laws
from 1937 onwards. According to Lund University’s Professor Anders Jarlert, who
led the research, any Swede who wanted to marry an Aryan German was forced to
sign an affirmation stating that none of the German’s grandparents were Jewish.
History Professor Stig Ekman told DN that Sweden’s culture of silence and
secrecy is one reason why this is appearing only now, generations later. In
1937, the Swedish government was controlled by the Social Democrats, yet despite
this evidence that they applied Nazi race laws, party members still get away
with denouncing critics of their immigration policies as neo-Nazis, racists or
Fascists.
In the book The New Totalitarians, the British
historian Roland Huntford in the early 1970s pointed out that Socialist
professor Gunnar Myrdal and his wife Alva, both highly influential ideologists
in developing the Swedish welfare state, had intimate connections with the
German academic world during the Nazi age. Gunnar Myrdal served as both a member
of parliament and later as a government minister for the Social Democrats during
this period. According to Huntford: “The professor was then a Nazi sympathiser,
publicly describing Nazism as the movement of youth and the movement of the
future. In Myrdal’s defence, it must be pointed out that, whatever his other
propensities, Hitler did have advanced ideas on social welfare, and that the
social ideology of the German Nazis and the Swedish Social Democrats had much in
common. Until the mid 1930s, Nazism had considerable attractions for those who
favoured a benevolent and authoritarian state.”
Gunnar and Alva Myrdal promoted the idea of positive
eugenics and forced sterilisation programs against those with “weak genes.” This
started in Sweden even before Nazi Germany, and it continued longer.
The Nazis called themselves national Socialists, and they
took the Socialist component of their ideology quite seriously[24].
They never nationalised all assets of production as the Communists did. They
left nominal ownership in private hands, but production was in reality
controlled by the state[25]. The Nazis were thus
to the left, economically, compared to many of the labour parties in Western
Europe today. As Adolf Hitler stated in 1927: “We are Socialists, enemies,
mortal enemies of the present capitalist economic system with its exploitation
of the economically weak, with its injustice in wages, with its immoral
evaluation of individuals according to wealth and money instead of
responsibility and achievement, and we are determined under all circumstances to
abolish this system!”
The Muslim Brotherhood were also fans of the European
Fascist and Nazi movements in the 1930s, as they are of welfare state[26]
Socialism now. In Origins of Fascism, historian Walter Laqueur notes
similarities between Islam and Nazism: “A German Catholic émigré writer Edgar
Alexander (Edgar Alexander Emmerich) published an interesting work in 1937 in
Switzerland entitled The Hitler Mythos (which was translated into English and
reprinted after World War Two) in which he compared National Socialism with
‘Mohammedanism’ (...) He referred frequently to Hitler’s ‘Mohammedanism’ but
made it clear that this referred only to external organisational forms (whatever
this meant), to mass psychological effects and militant fanaticism. Alexander
believed that Mohammed’s religion was based on sincere religious fanaticism
(combined with political impulses) whereas Hitler’s (political) religion and its
fanaticism had different sources.”
In Laqueur’s view, Fascism was less monolithic than
Communism, as there were significant differences in theory and practice from
country to country. The French Marxist Orientalist Maxime Rodinson wrote a
polemic against the influential philosopher and fellow left-winger Michel
Foucault who welcomed the Islamic Revolution in Iran. According to Rodinson,
Khomeini and Islamic groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood constituted a form of
“archaic fascism.” Ibn Warraq[27] has used an
outline of the Fascist ideology made by Italian novelist Umberto Eco and found
that most of its defining hallmarks are shared by Islam.
German sociologist Theodor Adorno was a member of the
Frankfurt School and was influenced by Georg Lukács, one of Gramsci’s fellow
cultural Marxists. The Authoritarian Personality, a book carrying
Adorno’s name but in reality produced by the combined efforts of a number of
people from the Frankfurt School, was extremely influential in the United States
in the generation following WW2 and contributed to the Allied denazification
program in Germany. Working at the University of Berkeley, California, during
and after the war, Adorno and others such as the German-Jewish thinker Max
Horkheimer through a large number of interviews tried to establish that what led
to the rise of Nazi Germany was the predominance of a particular kind of
authoritarian personality, which happened to be closely tied to conservative
viewpoints. In their view, this was not just the case in Nazi Germany; there
were large numbers of potential Fascists all over the Western world.
The authors developed the so-called F-scale (F for
“Fascist”) to measure the psychological indicators of an authoritarian
personality. They identified several key dimensions of a protofascist
personality, which included favoring traditional morality, close family ties and
strong support of religion. It also included aggression, stereotypes, a
preoccupation with oppression, dominance and destruction and an obsession with
sex. The solution to root out this authoritarian personality was above all to be
found in the breakdown and transformation of the traditional family structure..
It is striking to notice that these writers were inspired
by a Marxist worldview and consistently refused to see the heavy Socialist
influences on the Nazi ideology. Adorno and others argued that “late capitalism”
had developed tools to resist the rise of a Socialist society, above all the use
of popular culture and education. They apparently concluded that what led to the
rise of the Nazis were traditional and “conservative” viewpoints.
But the Nazis weren’t conservatives. They should more
properly be understood as a revolutionary Socialist movement, albeit one with
powerful racialist and anti-Semitic overtones. Judging from the death toll
produced by Socialist regimes both prior to and after them, it is tempting to
conclude that the destruction brought by the Nazis owed at least as much to the
Socialist as to the nationalist element of their ideology. The Origins of
Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt, published in 1951, a year after The
Authoritarian Personality, was somewhat closer to understanding the
commonalities between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
However, since the Nazis have by now been dubbed a
“far-right” movement, anybody considered to be a “right-winger” or conservative
is thus supposedly closer to them than Socialists are, which automatically makes
them suspect. Much of the power of the political Left throughout the West is
based on such guilt-by-association, which is why it would be a disaster for
their power base if it were to be demonstrated that the Swedish Social
Democrats, the darlings of the political Left internationally, were close to the
Fascists and the Nazis. They now display great affection for Islam, another
thing they have in common with the Nazis.
Many of the stories in the famous
The Book of One Thousand and One Nights[28]
(Arabian Nights), though frequently based on much older Persian and Indian
tales, are said to have taken place during the rule of the Abbasid caliph Harun
al-Rashid in Baghdad in the late 8th and early 9th century. Few seem to remember
that the first prototype of the yellow badge for Jews employed by the Nazis were
developed by him, based on the regulations for dhimmis in Islamic teachings. He
ordered Jews to wear yellow belts, Christians blue belts. This practice was
later imported to Europe via medieval Spain and Portugal under Islamic rule.
Muhammad Amin al-Husayni[29],
the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Arab nationalist leader, a leading force behind
the establishment of the Arab League and a spiritual father of the PLO, was a
close collaborator with Nazi Germany and personally met with Adolf Hitler. In a
radio broadcast from Berlin he called upon Muslims to kill Jews wherever they
could find them. Dieter Wisliceny was the deputy of Adolf Eichmann, the
organiser of the Holocaust and reportedly the inventor of the phrase the “Final
Solution to the Jewish Question.” During the Nuremberg trials, Wisliceny stated
that the Mufti “was one of Eichmann’s best friends and had constantly incited
him to accelerate the extermination measures. I heard him say, accompanied by
Eichmann, he had visited incognito the gas chambers of Auschwitz.”
Serge Trifkovic in his book The Sword of the Prophet
documents how al-Husayni recruited Bosnian and Albanian Muslims for Waffen SS
units in the Balkans[30]. Yugoslavia wanted to
extradite al-Husayni for war crimes after WW2, but he fled to Egypt and
continued his war against Jews. Orthodox Christian Serbs had to wear blue
armbands, Jews yellow armbands. This clearly demonstrates that for Muslims this
was a Jihad against disobedient dhimmis, and thus a continuation of the Turkish
and Kurdish genocide against Armenians a few years earlier which was one of the
inspirations for the Holocaust. More than a quarter of a million Serbs, Jews and
Romani people (Gypsies) were killed by these Muslims troops. The leader of the
Nazi SS troops Heinrich Himmler was impressed and stated to Propaganda Minister
Josef Goebbels that Islam was “a very practical and attractive religion for
soldiers.”
He was far from the only person seeing a close
correlation between Nazism and Islam. Karl Jung[31],
in The Symbolic Life from 1939, stated that: “We do not know whether Hitler is
going to found a new Islam. (He is already on the way; he is like Mohammad. The
emotion in Germany is Islamic; warlike and Islamic. They are all drunk with wild
god). That can be the historic future.” In The Second World War, Vol. I (The
Gathering Storm), Winston Churchill wrote about Adolf Hitler’s autobiography
Mein Kampf: “Here was the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose,
shapeless, but pregnant with its message.”
Medieval anti-Jewish pogroms in Europe could be brutal,
but still normally of limited scope. To commit evil on a truly monumental scale,
you need the support of ideology backed by bureaucrats, jurists and the
machinery of a totalitarian state. Since Socialism generally leads in a
totalitarian direction, which has also been facilitated by technological and
industrial advances, a Socialist society will make large-scale massacres more
likely..
The Hungarian author Imre Kertész[32],
Holocaust survivor and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, writes in the
magazine signandsight.com[33]
that “the genuine novelties of the twentieth century were the totalitarian state
and Auschwitz. The anti-Semitism of the nineteenth century, for instance, was as
yet barely able, nor even would have wished, to imagine a Final Solution.
Auschwitz, therefore, cannot be accounted for by the common-or-garden, archaic,
not to say classical concepts of anti-Semitism. (...) Eichmann testified during
his trial in Jerusalem that he was never an anti-Semite, and although those who
were in the courtroom burst into laughter, it is not inconceivable that he was
being truthful. In order to murder millions of Jews the totalitarian state had
need, in the final analysis, not so much of anti-Semites as good organisers. We
need to see clearly that no totalitarianism of party or state can exist without
discrimination, and the totalitarian form of discrimination is necessarily mass
murder.”
Kertész also warns, timely in these Multicultural days,
that “a civilisation that does not clearly proclaim its values, or which leaves
these proclaimed values high and dry, is stepping on the path to perdition and
terminal debility. Then others will pronounce their values, and in the mouths of
these others they will no longer be values but just so many pretexts for
untrammelled power, untrammelled destruction.”
Following the Cold War, the West was stuck with a large
fifth column[34] in our media and academia of
people who were disappointed after the sudden collapse of the alternative to
capitalism. They are slaves emancipated against their will, desperately in
search of a new master. Their hatred for the Established Order never subsided
when Marxism suffered a blow to its credibility. On the contrary, on some levels
it increased. Although their attacks on the Christian, capitalist West are less
ideologically coherent than in the past, this does not make them any less
passionate.
They have decided to pursue the course of a gradual
transformation of society through the education system and through destroying
the family structure. The radicals have renewed hope of a violent upheaval. With
the mass importation of Muslims, who have displayed such a wonderful talent for
violence, and with rising ethnic tensions within the West, maybe they can
finally get the armed revolution they were longing for.
The Swedish Social Democrats were pro-Fascist and
pro-Nazi during the 1930s and 40s, appeased the Communists during the Cold War
and cooperate with repressive and violent Islamic organisations today. They have
consistently supported or appeased some of the worst societies and ideologies in
human history, which between themselves have killed more than 150 million people
in a few generations. Yet they are the good guys, the poster boys of the
political Left throughout the world.
Now they forge an alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood,
another organisation with close ideological ties to the Fascist and Nazi
movements. At a time when native Swedes are raped, stabbed, killed and chased
out[35] of their homes by Muslim gangs, the Social
Democrats agree to continue allowing Muslims to colonise the country in exchange
for their votes. In the old days this would be called treason. Now it’s called
tolerance. It’s remarkable how similar the two concepts have become. Two
Fascist-inspired movements cooperate on exploiting and abusing the native
population of a country, force them fund and applaud their own colonisation and
denounce them as bigots, racists and Fascists if they resist. The strategy is as
brilliant as it is evil.
Why do they get away with this? How come Socialists can
stab their own people in the back, ally themselves openly with some of the most
violent and repressive movements on earth and still manage to portray themselves
as beacons of goodness? I am tempted to agree with former Soviet dissident
Vladimir Bukovsky[36]: The West didn’t win the
Cold War, at least not as decisively as we should have done. The belief-system
we were up against has been allowed to mutate and regain some of its former
strength[37]. We haven’t defeated Socialism until
we stage a Nuremberg trial and demonstrate clearly that the suffering,
repression and massacres caused by Socialist regimes from Vietnam via the
Ukraine to the Baltic were a direct result of Socialist doctrines.

Europe’s current problems are entirely self-inflicted. This does not mean,
however, that the result will be less catastrophic. By subverting the roots of
its own Judeo-Christian culture – a process that started with the French
Enlightenment (as opposed to the Scottish Enlightenment, which was not
anti-religious) – a religious and cultural vacuum was created at the heart of
European civilisation. The collapse of faith in its own values has, not
surprisingly, led to a demographic collapse because a civilisation that no
longer believes in its own future also rejects procreation. Today, a new
religion and culture is supplanting the old one. There is little one can do
about it, but hope for a miracle.
America’s immigration problems pale in comparison with what confronts Europe.
America’s major ethnic minorities – Blacks as well as Hispanics – are Christian,
while the meanstream culture is also rooted in Christianity. In Europe a
secularised post-Christian culture is facing a Muslim one. The secularised
culture is hedonist and values only its present life, because it does not
believe in an afterlife. This is why it will surrender when threatened with
death because life is the only thing it has to lose. This is why it will accept
submission without fighting for its freedom. Nobody fights for the flag of
hedonism, not even the hedonists themselves.
One could also put it in a slightly different way: Europe lacks what America
still has, namely the so-called “conservative reserves,” or as the German
sociologist Arnold Gehlen explained over 30 years ago, “the reserves in national
energy and self-confidence, primitiveness and generosity, wealth and potential
of every kind.” Every so often I travel to the U.S. to recharge my batteries,
and I am not the only European Conservative to do so. From time to time one
needs to breathe the air of freedom before submerging again in the stifling
atmosphere of Europe.
America’s “conservative reserves” are far stronger than Europe’s, because
America, unlike secular Europe, has remained rooted to a larger extent in
traditional Christian values. I do not doubt that if these values continue to
decline in the U.S., American culture will collapse as European culture and
civilisation have collapsed. However, America can learn from the impending
European catastrophe, and avoid a similar fate.
The old European civilisation – the pre-secular or the pre-post-Christian one –
will live on in the U.S. If it perishes there too, mankind will relapse into the
dark ages that are now taking hold of Europe, the cradle of Western
civilisation.
I suppose one could feel sad about all this, but sadness is not what I feel. One
can feel compassion for those who die in accidents, fall in battle or get
murdered (like the countless unborn children that perish every day) but can one
pity those who have killed their own future for the pleasures of the present?
Europe’s predicament, I repeat, is entirely self-inflicted. Not Islam is to
blame. Secularism is.
The coming decade will witness the war between the values of Islam and the
secular “values” of the decadent, hedonistic post-Marxist Left. We have seen the
assassinations of Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh, last November’s prelude to the
French civil war, the Danish cartoon case. This is just the beginning of the
beginning. I do not consider myself a pessimist, merely a realist. It is quite
clear who is going to lose – and whose fault that will be.

Today, Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, represented by
Dr. R.K. Pachauri, will receive the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 in Oslo, Norway.
The Peace Prize has been viewed by many as something of a joke after it was
awarded to the Jihadist Yasser Arafat and to appeasers of Jihad like Jimmy
Carter. However, it still generates a lot of media attention. If the Nobel
Committee wants to stay relevant they need to do some changes. The greatest
challenge to world peace right now is not global warming, it's global Jihad. I
therefore suggest that the next Peace Prize should be awarded to Ayaan Hirsi
Ali.
I have had a few minor disagreements with Hirsi Ali in the past, mainly because
she has on some occasions compared Islam to other religions like Christianity
and Judaism, which I believe is wrong. However, her views on this have matured
considerably, and because of her background she has made criticism of Islam
acceptable to people who would otherwise find it difficult to digest the
arguments she presents, even though they are perfectly correct. She is no doubt
an extremely courageous person. In spite of death threats she has never
hesitated in pointing out that many of the problems in the Islamic world are
caused by Islam itself. She is an invaluable asset to the fight against global
Jihad and as worthy of the Prize as any other living person.
In my view, the Norwegian Nobel Committee will soon have to make a choice: If
they want the Nobel Peace Prize to be a Global Celebrity Award for Outstanding
Achievements in Political Correctness, they can give the next one to Bono of
rock group U2. Or, they can do something meaningful, something that will
actually advance the cause of peace and human liberty around the world, and
award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2008 to Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Since members of national assemblies and parliaments can nominate candidates for
the Prize, I hereby challenge MPs from the Progress Party in my country, or MPs
from any infidel nation, to nominate Hirsi Ali. Other alternatives can be
mentioned, too. Ibn Warraq, Ali Sina and Wafa Sultan are all worthy recipients
of the Prize for their work and for championing the rights of one of the most
abused and oppressed groups of people on the planet: Former Muslims who defy the
traditional death penalty for leaving Islam.
Or, if the members of the Committee want somebody with a non-Muslim background,
what about Dutch politician Geert Wilders, who has remained steadfast in
opposing Islamisation despite the murders of his countrymen Theo van Gogh and
Pim Fortuyn and the exile of Hirsi Ali? Author Robert Spencer, director of the
website Jihad Watch, who patiently monitors the spread of Jihad terrorism across
the world, is another excellent choice, as is Bat Ye'or, whose unique work on
the plight of non-Muslims under Islamic rule has contributed immensely to our
understanding of both the past and the present.
Being Norwegian myself, I would also like to make a suggestion to Norwegian
authorities: Norway is, or at least was the last time I checked, the planet's
third largest exporter of oil, after Saudi Arabia and Russia. If Saudi Arabia,
the world's largest exporter of oil, spends money on promoting Jihad and sharia,
is it not fair that Norway, the world's third largest exporter of oil, should
spend a little on combating the same? The Norwegian Petroleum Fund amounts to
hundreds of billions of dollars. Norwegian authorities could easily create a
fund of a billion dollars or more earmarked for the defence of persons
threatened for criticising Islam. That's the least we can do in return for being
blessed with wealth we did very little to earn.
This fund could be called the Theo van Gogh Memorial Fund, the Asma bint Marwan
Memorial Fund after the poetess who was killed by Muhammad's followers 1400
years ago for mocking Islam, or perhaps the Charles Martel Foundation for
Intercultural Understanding. Most citizens in my country wouldn't even notice if
we spent a billion dollars on this, but such a fund, whatever we choose to call
it, could have a big impact on the lives of people struggling to get their
message across or simply to stay alive in the face of death threats.
It is true that smaller nations cannot win major ideological wars on their own,
but that is no excuse for not doing our share. Israel is also a small nation,
yet it has managed to hold the line against Jihad for decades, and Denmark, the
only Scandinavian country with some spine left, has left its mark, too, in
recent years.
We can make a difference. Norway was the fourth-largest shipping nation in the
world at the outbreak of WW2 and was of major importance to the allied convoys
in the Atlantic which kept the war efforts alive. A British publication stated
that the Norwegian Merchant Fleet then was "worth as much to the allied cause as
a million soldiers." We are currently faced with a world war of a different
nature, and if we can make contributions that matter for the outcome of this
great struggle for freedom then we should do so. It's time to make a stand. I
would like my country to be remembered for something other than awarding the
Nobel Peace Prize to Yasser Arafat or for sponsoring the Palestinian government
and their terrorist cronies.

Granting this year’s Nobel Peace Prize to Finnish diplomat Martti Ahtisaari[1],
known for his role in establishing a Jihadist state in Kosovo, makes the Peace
Prize even more of a joke than it already was. Those who want an alternative
view on the situation in the Balkans can read the essays of Serge Trifkovic and
his book Defeating Jihad: How the War on Terrorism Can Be Won — in Spite of
Ourselves.
As Chief United Nations negotiator for Kosovo, Ahtisaari caused anger in Serbia
when he stated that “Serbs are guilty as a people,” implying that they would
have to pay for it, possibly by losing Kosovo. It is one thing to criticise the
Milosevic regime. It is quite another thing to claim that “Serbs are guilty as a
people.” If anybody in the Balkans can be called guilty as a people, it is the
Turks, not the Serbs. The Turks have left a trail of blood across much of
Europe, Asia Minor, and the Mediterranean for centuries, culminating in the
Armenian genocide in the 20th century, which Turkey still refuses to
acknowledge, let alone apologise for.
As I’ve indicated before, if the Peace Prize is supposed to serve any real
purpose, it needs to be awarded to persons who confront Jihad, not appease it
like Martti Ahtisaari and Jimmy Carter, or promote it like Yasser Arafat:
As I have written previously in “Give the Nobel Peace Prize to Ayaan Hirsi
Ali[2]”:
In my view, the Norwegian Nobel Committee will soon have to make a choice: If
they want the Nobel Peace Prize to be a Global Celebrity Award for Outstanding
Achievements in Political Correctness, they can give the next one to Bono of
rock group U2. Or, they can do something meaningful, something that will
actually advance the cause of peace and human liberty around the world, and
award the Nobel Peace Prize to Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Since members of national assemblies and parliaments can nominate candidates for
the Prize, I hereby challenge MPs from the Progress Party in my country, or MPs
from any infidel nation, to nominate Hirsi Ali. Other alternatives can be
mentioned, too. Ibn Warraq, Ali Sina and Wafa Sultan are all worthy recipients
of the Prize for their work and for championing the rights of one of the most
abused and oppressed groups of people on the planet: Former Muslims who defy the
traditional death penalty for leaving Islam.
Or, if the members of the Committee want somebody with a non-Muslim background,
what about Dutch politician Geert Wilders, who has remained steadfast in
opposing Islamisation despite the murders of his countrymen Theo van Gogh and
Pim Fortuyn and the exile of Hirsi Ali? Author Robert Spencer, director of the
website Jihad Watch, who patiently monitors the spread of Jihad terrorism across
the world, is another excellent choice, as is Bat Ye’or, whose unique work on
the plight of non-Muslims under Islamic rule has contributed immensely to our
understanding of both the past and the present.
Being Norwegian myself, I would also like to make a suggestion to Norwegian
authorities: Norway is, or at least was the last time I checked, the planet’s
third largest exporter of oil, after Saudi Arabia and Russia. If Saudi Arabia,
the world’s largest exporter of oil, spends money on promoting Jihad and sharia,
is it not fair that Norway, the world’s third largest exporter of oil, should
spend a little on combating the same? The Norwegian Petroleum Fund amounts to
hundreds of billions of dollars. Norwegian authorities could easily create a
fund of a billion dollars or more earmarked for the defence of persons
threatened for criticising Islam. That’s the least we can do in return for being
blessed with wealth we did very little to earn.
This fund could be called the Theo van Gogh Memorial Fund, the Asma bint Marwan
Memorial Fund after the poetess who was killed by Muhammad’s followers 1400
years ago for mocking Islam, or perhaps the Charles Martel Foundation for
Intercultural Understanding. Most citizens in my country wouldn’t even notice if
we spent a billion dollars on this, but such a fund, whatever we choose to call
it, could have a big impact on the lives of people struggling to get their
message across or simply to stay alive in the face of death threats.

You
might know them as environmentalists, enviro-communists, eco-Marxists,
neo-Communists or eco-fanatics. They all claim they want to save the world from
global warming but their true agenda is to contribute to create a world
government lead by the UN or in other ways increase the transfer of resources
(redistribute resources) from the developed Western world to the third world.
They hope to accomplish this through the distribution of misinformation
(propaganda) which they hope will lead to increased taxation of already
excessively taxed Europeans and US citizens.
The neo-communist agenda uses politicised science to propagate the global
warming scam in order to implement their true agenda; global Marxism.
Marxism’s ultimate goal is to redistribute wealth from successful nations
to failed nations, instead of actually trying to fix these broken nations.
Politicised science is being used by the cultural Marxist hegemony to manipulate
the unsuspecting masses. They are using our trust and faith in science to spread
lies and hysteria that will allow Marxists to implement socialist “solutions” to
a problem that never actually existed.
To quote one of these UN eco-Marxist elites:
“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialised civilisations
collapse? Isn’t it part of our responsibility to bring that about?”
This quote was from the opening statement of Maurice Strong in the 1992 ‘Earth
Summit’ in Rio de Janeiro. Strong is the first Executive Director of the United
Nations Environment Program (UNEP).
Yuri Bezmenov, former KGB agent and expert on ideological subversion.
“A person who is demoralised is unable to assess true information”
Here are a few more sources indicating the true agenda of the eco-Marxists:
"Environmentalism should be regarded on the same level with religion "as the
only compelling, value-based narrative available to humanity," according to a
paper written in 2007 to influence the future strategy of the United Nations
Environmental Program (UNEP), the world's would-be environmental watchdog."[1]
Watch how nations are demoralised for ideological subversion:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_xdBnFPqOI&feature=related
That's exactly what is happening with the Anthropogenic Global Warming scam; too
many people are too demoralised to assess true information about Socialism,
Communism, and climate change to allow its use for other agendas on the hands of
the useful idiots “the leftists” as former KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov calls them.
Enviro-communism is a new twisted idea of redistribution of wealth through
“environmental” policies and the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference 2009 is
the perfect manifestation of it. Environmental Justice is the new Social
Justice; Climate Debt is the new Redistribution of Wealth, Anthropogenic Global
Warming scam is the Communism.
Under current Copenhagen draft treaty, developed countries are expected to fund
clean energy in developing countries, which could result in an annual transfer
of almost € 100 billion per year by 2020.[2]
Please see Lord Christopher Monckton's speech:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMe5dOgbu40&feature=player_embedded
PLEASE read the SHOCKING Communist Goals (1963) that already started being
implemented and will be discussed next December in the Copenhagen Climate Change
treaty drafts 2009:
http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm
Barak Obama received the Nobel Peace prize for exactly the same reason Al Gore
did. The prize is given by Thorbjørn Jagland, Chair of the Nobel Committee who
was also the Vice President of Socialist International. One can think they are
pushing a global agenda of Enviro-Communism or Eco-Marxism that will force
Europe and the US to cater for the global Eco-Marxist agenda. Their end goal is
to “punish” European countries (US included) for capitalism and success.
The Marxist agenda of the Climate Change Conference 2009 was to discuss the
totalitarian idea of World Government, transfer of wealth from Western countries
to 3rd world countries under what they call “Climate debt”, because allegedly
western countries have been burning CO2 and 3rd world countries haven’t!
Have you tried breathing in a third world country lately?
It is a fact that developed countries are by far less polluted than developing
countries, where people are actually dying form pollution. “Transferring wealth”
to 3rd world countries under an unelected world government, to countries that
are mostly governed by autocratic rulers will only help the sustainability of
dictatorship, pollution and fascism, and more plights to the citizens living
under these regimes by supporting their dictators financially to sustain regimes
that would otherwise collapse by their own demeanor. The aim of this Conspiracy
is to help the sustainability of 3rd world Communism, Socialism and dictatorship
to save the fanatic leftist forms of government while weakening Capitalism by
what they call “climate debt”.
You can give Communism all the new colours you want, fascism will always have
the same ugly face.
Climategate incident – exposing the eco-Marxist scam
On Thursday 19th November 2009 news began to circulate that hacked documents and
communications from the University of East Anglia’s Hadley Climate Research Unit
(aka CRU) had been published to the internet.
The information revealed how top scientists conspired to falsify data in the
face of declining global temperatures in order to prop up the premise that
man-made factors are driving climate change.
The documents and emails illustrated how prominent climatologists, affiliated
with the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change, embarked on a venomous and
coordinated campaign to ostracise climate skeptics and use their influence to
keep dissenting reports from appearing in peer-reviewed journals, as well as
using cronyism to avoid compliance with Freedom of Information Act requests.
Here follows a compendium of articles and videos on what was quickly dubbed as
“ClimateGate”.

"In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
George Orwell
Creating the foundation for a Second European Renaissance, pre-2083
The essence of consolidation for all European cultural conservative is:
1.
Defining who we are and whom we are willing to include/exclude
2.
Describing the problem/what we want ”fixed”
3.
Conclusions/Solutions/The way ahead
It’s an extremely complex subject which eventually boils down to the following:
We (the moderate cultural conservatives of Europe) will need to create a
consensus (a political ideology preferably) which must appeal to AT LEAST 20-35%
of the Western European population (which makes up the bulk of the moderate
right wing in Europe today). It’s worth noting that aprox. 70% of European
patriotic conservatives are male while only 30% female.
The new political ideology has to be inclusive enough so that enough Europeans
support it. At the same time it has to ”solve” the current weaknesses of the
Western European countries.
The problem with today’s political climate and political correctness in general
however is that it is considered inappropriate and offensive to discuss 1. and
2. Therefore it is considered even more so to even mention 3…
The cowardice that most people show (by their reluctance to discuss this) is
appalling, even among conservatives. If the moderate conservatives DO NOT, then
extreme conservatives will, and we eventually risk ending up with another
nasty/racist form of fascism (thanks to the moderate cowards who for various
reasons were reluctant to contribute).
I believe Europe should strive for:
A cultural conservative approach where monoculturalism, moral, the nuclear
family, a free market, support for Israel and our Christian cousins of the east,
law and order and Christendom itself must be central aspects (unlike now). Islam
must be re-classified as a political ideology and the Quran and the Hadith
banned as the genocidal political tools they are.
Someone once said: ” Believe in something or be defeated by anything” which
describes Western Europe’s problem correctly at the moment.
Fjordmans book; ”Defeating Eurabia”
concluded with the following points;
- Mass Muslim immigration will continue (or more precisely, the cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists will continue to import voters).
- Muslim birth rates remain above 3 while non Muslim birth-rates remain below
replacement rate.
- The Muslim “ghettofication” process in major cities continues (less than 50%
of Muslims will be considered "successfully integrated” in the future.
- The majority of Muslims continue to abide by the ground rule of Sharia: a
Muslim girl will never be allowed to marry a kuffār.
Most people today forget that this rule is the most important rule within Sharia
and theoretically places 90% of all Muslims in the same category as Islamists.
- The factors above results in a scenario where the "Muslims/Multiculturalist
alliance" remain in power (despite that more and more non-Muslims move right in
the political landscape). They therefore set a stop to all democratic attempts
or "solutions" which can stop or reverse the Islamisation of that specific
Western European country. It basically cripples the democracies and uses the
democratic mechanics against the non-Muslims).
- 2030 - Muslims reach critical mass (20%), which basically means that the MI6
or other European intelligence agencies will not be able to stop all attacks.
- 2070-2080 - the Muslim population becomes a majority - 50%+.
When will the silent majority (middle class) react or get involved in the
struggle?
You would think people would have some sort of reaction to the destruction of
their own culture and civilisation.
However, people in general won't react until they feel that they are allowed to
do so. But that moment will come, perhaps sooner than we think (most likely when
Muslims reach around 50% in either the Netherlands or France).
Today (phase 1) people refrain from reacting since they live in economic
prosperity, and to stand up for their ideas would send them into suffering.
However, in a few decades we will have an economic downfall that will make the
current recession look like a picnic. And at that point standing up for their
ideas will come at no extra cost, since the suffering is already prevalent.
What will trigger Phase 3 (civil war)?
There will not be any “fertile ground” as long as the European countries are
prosperous with minimal unemployment. When that changes in the time frame 30-70
years, combined with the nation going towards Muslim majority this will all
change. The never ending flood of Muslim demands is calculated to break the
budget, jam the bureaucratic gears into gridlock, and bring the system crashing
down. Fear, turmoil, violence and economic collapse would accompany such a
breakdown providing perfect conditions for fostering radical change.
It may be relatively peaceful until ”something” triggers a confrontation. This
”something” can be a combination of an economic depression resulting in massive
unemployment, riots getting out of hand, an assassination or a terrorist attack
by an Islamist group or Anti-Jihad group.
The confrontation has a cascade effect which results in a similar scenario as
that of Lebanon. The rebellion will eventually develop into a civil war.
Para-military organisations will be created on both sides (Muslims + cultural
Marxists vs. the cultural conservatives/nationalists).
The conservatives of that specific Western European country are screaming for "a
strong leader or group" who can ”approach and solve” this problem (70% of men,
30% of women will support this – a total of 25% of the people or 50% of all
non-Muslims).
By studying all available data, we know that once the Muslims reach
approximately 50% of the population there will be a conflict which is likely to
result in enormous human suffering. At that point, morality will lose its
meaning. The question of good and evil will be reduced to one simple choice for
us; Survive or perish. The "strongman"
is what we are headed for. He's not what we want; he's just the
inevitable endgame.
Consolidating our forces in phase 1, 2 and 3
We must work hard in the coming decades to create and develop Anti-Jihad or
other forms of Cultural conservative movements. Our objectives will be to
recruit the youths of our society (15-30) whom will be the bulk of the physical
defence of our cultural conservative ideology.
The cultural conservatives vs. the racial conservatives
Whoever manages to attract the youths of a society will have the best
possibility to secure power and implement the changes of the given political
ideology.
If racist organisations succeed where we have failed, then we know what will
happen. Unfortunately for us, the intelligence agencies of Europe are currently
doing everything they can to prevent the creation of any type of militia, that
being CC’s or RC’s. The media on the other hand will go to great lengths to put
us, the cultural conservatives (anti-Jihad movements etc.) in the same category
as the racial conservatives. To them it’s black and white; According to them,
everyone who is not considered “politically correct” must by default be racists
or Nazis…
Organisational work in Phase 1 (2009-2030)
We must spend the next 20 years wisely and continue our work on creating a pan
European conservative consolidation, a new conservative political ideology (a
political ideal) which has the potential to appeal to a MINIMUM of 20-35% of
Western Europeans, including the bulk of our youth. The creation of cultural
conservative student organisations in Universities all over Europe must be a
priority.
In order to do this we have to agree on a consensus for creating a modern,
“un-tainted”, cultural conservative, patriotic youth movement which will prevent
our youths from joining NS or WN movements. This movement should be somewhat
like the equivalent of Russias Nashi movement (Putins youth movement - 120,000
members aged between 17 and 25). They are anti fascist/anti Nazi, but still
patriotic conservatives.
Our goal in phase 1 is to take the current “anti-Jihad movements” to a second
level, approach, cooperate with and/or merge with Christian movements and other
cultural conservative movements (who agree on a set point of principles).
In order for us to do this we have to agree on a given set of principles and be
accommodating when approaching other conservative movements.
Our aim should be to:
1.
Create a pan European student/youth movement (at universities, high schools,
social activities). F example call it: “Young Europeans”, “Christian European
Renaissance Movement” or just “Renaissance Movement” (Attempting to unite
Christians, anti-Eurabians, nationalists and other types of cultural
conservatives.
Learning from cultural Marxists/multiculturalists
It's clear they've done more than merely mess up our countries; they've also,
quite intentionally, messed with our minds.
As it turns out, messing with our minds wasn't just one part of the plan; it was
the essential goal of the entire plan of conquest (Implementation of the EU’s
Eurabia project/European multiculturalism/Islamisation of Europe). They used
sociology, social psychology, linguistics, and a subtle understanding of human
motivation to get into our heads and change the way we processed reality itself,
in ways that made it impossible to question all the other things they were up
to.
Ending cultural Marxist/multiculturalist dominance will require us to undo the
vast memetic and ontological damage they've wrought on two entire generations of
Europeans. We have no choice but to fight this fire with fire of our own. And
the first thing we need to do is understand, very specifically, how they did it.
Fortunately, this isn't hard: the basics are all laid out in their original
written plans.
We must win the people over culturally—by defining how man ought to act, how he
ought to perceive the world around him, and what it means to live the good life.
What is the meaning of life? How should we relate to each other? Our families
and communities? Other nations? God? The planet? What is good, and how do we
recognise it? What is evil, and how should we respond?
These are the basic ontological questions on which our ability to parse the rest
of reality depends—the foundations of every human's cognitive model of the
world. Change these underlying assumptions, and the way we prioritise and
evaluate everything else in the world necessarily changes, too. We must
recognise this and focus on selling the cultural conservative worldview, via
every possible channel. We must make this the central focus of our movement.
Once we get them to accept our basic assumptions about reality (rationalism), we
know, the rest of our agenda will follow naturally.
We must set ourselves up as a daring and controversial counterculture that
offers an original and rebellious alternative to the prevailing set of cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist assumptions.
Our status as a mass movement begins and ends with our ability to inspire the
masses to share our worldview. Promoting that worldview is the only goal that
matters; and every action we take should be aimed at moving us toward that
outcome. When that epistemology is widely accepted, implementing our policies
will proceed easily and naturally, with minimal opposition.
Unfortunately, we're starting from a place of weakness. cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist ideals are far more compelling (emotionalism,
multiculturalism, humanism which has led us towards the ongoing Islamisation of
Europe), however they are suicidal to any civilisation and cannot be accepted or
tolerated. History teaches that all great civilisations who have fallen in the
past have been self defeated. A civilisation is born on rationalism and defeated
on emotionalism. Our goal is to prevent our civilisation from dying by basically
”resetting” the current values by replacing them with our ”old core, rational
and cultural conservative values. Implementing our principles throughout Europe
which will be known as the second cultural European renaissance can only be done
after assuming power politically supported by the military. Before that is even
possible Europe will burn once again, people will die, but Europe will be reborn
as strong as it once was.
Everything Europeans do, the institutions and physical infrastructure we build,
the investments and decisions we make, the goals we set and the ideals we
cherish, emerges from and is evaluated according to our essential assumptions
about how the world works. Getting people to understand and embrace the basic
premises of the conservative (rationalist, cultural conservative worldview is
the first and most critical step to creating a lasting progressive era in
Europe. When that's accomplished, we can set about reforming every one of
society's institutions so that it reflects those values starting with school
curriculum’s and disallowing cultural Marxist propaganda in the mass media.
People may be desperate for change and some new ideas—but even so, we'd be wise
not to underestimate how much time it's going to take to remove all the
constraints they've put on people's thinking. We'd be even wiser to become very
energetic about promoting ourselves as a new, fresh alternative counterculture
that's not afraid to confront a crusty and crumbling status quo.
Convince Europeans we're trustworthy to lead
Our biggest problem will likely be that the public (after decades of cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist brainwashing) simply don't trust us to lead. So we must
focus on fixing that perception, a process that may take several decades. We
must persuade the countries of Europe that the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
regimes where and are suicidal, corrupt, inept and completely unworthy of trust.
If we want a permanent cultural conservative regime (despite our non-democratic
methods), we have to reach out to inspire and earn the country's deep trust in
our ideas and our leadership. We need their loyalty for the long run.
Align strategy with tactics…
We have a growing army of wonderful, energetic, skilled activists out there
doing the organising and moving the message. We also have a smaller and very
much neglected cadre of strategic big-picture thinkers who are looking way out
ahead, figuring out where we want to go and how best to get there. And not only
do the two factions seldom talk—when they do talk, they often find they're not
even speaking the same language. Activists dismiss strategists as thinking too
big-picture, and not understanding the realities on the ground. Strategists see
the activists running off in all kinds of directions, instead of aligning their
energies and focusing them on well-chosen small battles that will pay off in
much bigger victories down the road.
Its important to speak in large generalisations about principles, values, and
large-scale visions of what the world should be. This is energising to strategic
thinkers, who see the same big picture and who understand that you have to
create that kind of overarching vision of the change you want to create before
you can fill in the details. However, that same style drives wonkier folks
crazy: they're very uncomfortable with that lack of detail. They don't want the
big-picture stuff; they want to know exactly what is to be expected.
It's cheering to realise the cultural Marxists/multiculturalists have had
ongoing issues with this exact same problem. But it also points up the sobering
truth that we won't experience a smooth transition when we take power unless we
also learn how to bridge that gap so we can maximise the skills of both groups.
We need to get the people who are capable of plotting long-range strategy linked
up closely with the people who have the tactical skills to execute it—and both
sides need to have the wisdom to know and respect that they're bringing
different but important things to the table.
Invest in creating elite tacticians
No successful movement goes anywhere without a tightly-knit, trusted, trained
core of elite activist leaders who are all working for the same goal. It is more
important to have a few impassioned members than a large number of largely
indifferent members." If the core is energetic, smart, and strong, all the rest
will naturally fall into place around it.
The cultural Marxists lacks a tradition of respecting their most experienced
leaders. It's a common liberal conceit to think that any one of us could do what
they do.
Conservatives on the other hand have a tradition of respecting and falling in
line with our most experienced leaders. Good followers without constant second
guessing. There's a time for big consensus-building all-in conversations; but
there's also a time to stop talking, fall in line, and do what needs to be done
without backbiting or second-guessing the decision. This is our biggest
strenght. We believe in something constant, our culture and national identity
and many of us are willing to die for it.
The biggest weakness of the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist mindset is that
they lack a grand scheme; they act on short term intuition, emotions and short
sight-ness. They think only 5-10
years ahead while we think 30-50 years ahead.
Cultural Marxists lose a lot of good leaders simply because they get tired of
trying to keep all the frogs in the wheelbarrow, which takes their focus off of
the more important task of getting the wheelbarrow where it's going. It's one of
the most typical ways in which they burn out their own most talented folks.
Our biggest flaw is our unwillingness for inclusiveness. When people have had
enough of the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist culture, we need to embrace them
and make them feel at home among us.
They need to come voluntary though. Building a movement is a sales job—but the
sale is closed when they accept our terms, not when we bend to meet theirs.
Our worldview and principles are absolutely central to the entire long term
goal, and should never be compromised for anyone. If someone don't agree, fine.
Take it or leave it. We will not fudge our own convictions in the hopes of
drawing off a few more supporters from less significant sub-groups. We know that
in time these little compromises form the cracks that undermine the entire
movement.
Everyone needs to know that we are a purely defensive movement. We didn't start
this fight that is leading us to cultural suicide. They did, the cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists. We are simply doing what is necessary to protect
European culture and to make sure we won’t end up under Sharia law.
The cultural Marxists have since the 1960’s used powers of the country to
squelch our movement, using whatever pretext they are able to invent.
Unfortunately, these persecutions have not created the expected sympathy.
The battle we face is the same one our ancestors fought; and we owe it to their
memories to fight it hard and well.
Don't underestimate the resistance
There is no excuse for ever being surprised by the ferocity or ingenuity of
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist attacks.
But if we're in this fight to win, we need to get serious about being prepared
for to make sacrifices and attack them relentlessly where it hurts the most.
After all, we have far less to fear from them than they do from us.
They are bound by the shackles of Emotionalism, their achilles which eventually
will lead to their downfall. We, as rational thinkers, don’t suffer under the
strong Emotionalist ethical lines which prevents them from taking the necessary
measures.
When the time is right we will make a ruthless effective push that will make
them run in fear. We, after all, have a conviction worth dying for; to secure
freedom for people of Europe and prevent a third wave of Islamic invasion.
We will eventually be able to punish our unjust oppressors.
Our weakness: Passivity
An excessive amount of intellectualisation divorced from application in the real
work is a kind of escape from reality, or the creation of a virtual reality.
Thinking becomes tired, static, and inward-looking. People become more
interested in creating mental utopias than having a real impact on society.
There is a place in society for abstract, academic discussion. This is not that
place."
We spend so much time sharing our esoteric enthusiasms, complaining about stuff
nobody else cares about, and reaffirming each others' worldview that we fail to
do the real work of the movement, which is getting out there and winning new
hearts and minds to the cause. We become hypersensitive (and sometimes downright
surly) in the face of earnest questions from outsiders who don't understand the
secret language of our groupthink. We build up walls that keep new members out,
and harden into a cloistered elite that has no room for newcomers.
If the goal is to build a mass movement, those developments are absolutely
fatal. And the only way to avoid it is to insist that our groups stay open to
new members and ideas, and actively engaged with work that promotes our ideas in
the hostile climate of current cultural Marxist/multiculturalist Europe.
The following study was conducted in Norway but many of the results and findings
apply locally, nationally and internationally.
Comparison (political influence vs. number of members/supporters):
FrP (Progress Party – mod. cultural conservatives) – 23% – 25k members
Rødt
(Red – Marxists) – 1,3% in 09 election – 1,7k members
They are violent and few but they are extremely effective and talented at what
they do. A relatively small group (50-100) of hardcore Norwegian Marxists are
doing a remarkable job at gaining and exercising political influence in various
fronts. In order for conservatives to succeed, they must copy the Marxist
strategies. We must actively use deceit and use our networks as
force-multipliers so that we may manage to exercise a disproportionate amount of
influence. Let’s try to look at their methods and organisational
structure/pattern and draw some conclusions on how cultural conservatives can
learn and improve on organisational strategies.
This group of Marxists have a large pool (approximately 10 000 in Norway) of
non-violent activists which they rally and demonstrate with (not including their
Muslim support groups). The Marxist political party “Rødt”
(Red) is a micro party with only 1700 members.
KrF –
Christian Democrats in comparison
have 38 000 members, Senterpartiet
have 22 000, even the small cultural conservative party
Demokratene (Democrats) have 5000
members. SV (Socialist Left Party)
have 9000 members but only a fraction is as active on the demo front as
Rødts members. Many of SVs members
are “sofa-radicals”, especially among the older members.
The Marxist party Rødt is extremely
efficient when it comes to organising events and arranging various
demonstrations. Their leaders are aggressively creating “front-organisations”
everywhere. An alternative strategy they are known for is to infiltrate other
established organisations and reform them from within: f. example
Natur & Ungdom (Nature and Youth - a
well known environmental activist organisation) and Målungdommen (cultural
organisation dedicated to promoting Norwegian dialects). They were also founding
organisations such as “Samebevegelsen”
(A Sami minority organisation) in the 70s and several other minority
organisations. They created Kvinnefronten
(Feminist Front) and several important environmental organisations.
Nevertheless, RV/AKP/Rødt
have lost control of a couple of the organisations they helped create such as
Anti-Rasistisk Senter (Anti-Racist
Center) and a couple of other minority organisations. However, they are still
ideologically close to them and they usually end up demonstrating/rally together
in order to create the biggest possible alliance.
An average Rødt (Red) activist is a
member of 10-15 other organisations. This is how they manage to convert a single
voice into something ten times as powerful (a form of force-multiplication).
They use each of the organisations in the public debate to maximise media
penetration. In comparison, where the second largest political party in Norway –
FrP (a moderate cultural conservative
political party) only have one single voice, hardcore Marxists have 20-30 voices
in the public debate through various organisations spanning over several fields.
I would say every single Rødt member
is worth 50 times as much as each FrP member and more than 1000 times as much as
an average Norwegian pensioner when it comes to influencing society. Not really
how we would imagine a democracy?! The reason is because the average
Rødt member is so active when it
comes to aggressively seeking positions of influence in addition to attending
and organising various demonstrations and events. These individuals are actively
seeking influence in many aspects of society through various fronts and
disguises. As such, the direction of the public debate and development is highly
influenced by a relatively small Marxist faction of the population, namely those
who organise and participate through various fronts, NGOs and interest groups
which they again use to pressure politicians.
This is one of the primary reasons why today’s politicians, media and NGO
leaders (who predominantly propagate cultural Marxist doctrines) are pushing an
agenda that the majority of the people oppose on several key areas. I mean,
common, who wants to see a de-Christianisation of Europe or a systematical
destruction of European traditions, culture, identity and nation states? The
politicians are continuously pressured from a multitude of fronts, idealistic
organisations created or infiltrated by the cultural Marxist 68 generation in
Norway and Western Europe in general. Many of these politicians chose the path
of least resistance and allow themselves to be manipulated by the “dominant
elite Marxist mob”. They do not care about public opinion or the will of the
people. Their standard tactic is to bulldoze over the public opinion, the will
of the people and any poorly organised resistance (the silent and poorly
organised majority). They use labelling techniques and other fascist
authoritarian means to achieve their goals: their goals being political
domination and implementation of Marxist doctrines. Multiculturalism is to them
a tool to effectively destroy every shred of European culture and identity in
order to implement a borderless Marxist utopia. Their alliance with Islam is
only a short term strategy until everything European has been destroyed. They
will then destroy Islam (they hope) and include all the ex-Muslims in the
utopian Marxist borderless super state.
So who is the typical member and from where do they recruit new members? How
motivated are they and how far are they willing to go to achieve their goals?
The cultural Marxist extremists in Rødt
and similar Marxist organisations recruit primarily young idealists from
secondary schools, high schools and other youth arenas. They often recruit under
false and deceptive idealistic banners we all have sympathy for (anti-racist,
pro-minority, pro-gay, anti-war, pro-environment, pro-wildlife, helping
Palestinian children and similar organisations). These cover organisations are
again exploiting the system (or perhaps the system was designed for this…) by
receiving public funding per member. This is another reason why the average
hardcore Marxist is a member of 15-20 organisations at once.
As an illustration:
The cultural conservative political party FrP with 25 000 members receive
approximately 150 NOK in public funding per member which totals 3,75 million NOK
(450k Euro) per year in public subsidies. In addition
FrP charges 200 NOK from each member
per year.
Now, the busy little bees of Rødt
(1700 members) and allied cultural Marxist organisations control more than 15-20
NGOs. They cynically set the annual member fee to a minimum (5-50 NOK) and
actively pursue their pool of 50 000 or so sympathisers for cross-membership
(membership in several organisations).
The result is 15-20 NGOs under their control with extremely bloated member lists
(cross members). By using this strategy they gain an un-proportionate amount of
influence, something they know perfectly well how to take advantage of. In
addition, they earn millions of Euro annually. Our journalists refuse to pursue
this abuse of power as 99% of Norwegian journalists are multiculturalists and
thus have certain sympathies for more hardcore political entities.
The Marxist activists are having a field day every single autumn when the new
students arrive from small towns and rural areas to attend our various Marxist
dominated universities. During the introductory week each autumn these Marxists
political activists spend a lot of time recruiting new students. They usually
arrange the coolest parties, have the coolest student social clubs, the most
active student organisations and usually create the best marketing brochures and
effects.
In the universities they recruit their members from the country’s future power
elite and they gradually and systematically channel these new conscripts into
their social networks for more ideological indoctrination.
Rødt
has a front-organisation for everything, something for almost every imaginable
taste: for solidarity with Africa or Palestine, for the environment, for
feminism, for promotion of dialects, against rape, for human rights, against
commercial, for asylum seekers, against capitalism, for culture (rock, hip-hop,
art etc), for international solidarity, against Christianity, against
pornography, etc. it goes on and on.
And the new naive students are channeled through these numerous smaller fronts
where they are presented with more indoctrination from already established and
more experienced Marxists. Some of these new recruits end up in the political
party Rødt or in their newspaper
Klassekampen (War of the Classes).
The end result (after attending university) is a new generation of
hardcore leftist political activists ready to continue to implement Marxist
doctrines in society. The new generation Marxists recruited from the best of our
youth right under our nose.
However, after a few years, a majority of these students realise how the world
works and reject some of the earlier teachings. Many of them end up as highly
influential individuals, moderate cultural Marxists (multiculturalists) and
support more moderate leftist doctrines along the lines of the Labour Party.
These individuals very often seek power positions within politics, government
agencies, politically oriented NGOs, media companies and within the education
sector.
It’s worth noting that areas the Marxist are unable to penetrate and dominate
are faculties in the fields of economics and law which on the other hand is
dominated by cultural conservatives. This also includes the police academies the
military and several private sector fields.
Marxist organisations such as Rødt
and their many Blitz, AFA, SOS fronts therefore function as initial recruitment
centers or boot camps for the more established and moderate leftist movements
which continue to dominate Western European regimes.
This is the reason why the Labour Party and other leading European political
parties keep a protective hand over the extreme Marxist movements like
Rødt,
AFA,
Blitz,
UAF etc. The European cultural
Marxist establishment’s relationship with extreme and even violent Marxist youth
organisations is equivalent to the relationship the NSDAP had to Hitlerjugend
and similar organisations in the previous century. Why would they contribute to
destroy their own boot camps?
If we, the cultural conservatives want to democratically succeed in the future
we simply have to copy these strategies. The problem here however is that
cultural conservatives (and most anti-Marxists) generally lack an idealistic and
voluntary mindset. I can personally attest to this. I didn’t originally intend
to work for free as an ideological warrior. I, as a majority of my friends, was
driven by the lust for personal acquisition and prestige like a majority of
cultural conservatives. Screw everything and everyone right, it was me, myself
and I. Why do you think the Marxist 68 generation managed to successfully
implement multiculturalism and various other Marxist doctrines? Where the hell
was the cultural conservative 68 generation? The answer is simple. They didn’t
care about politics as they generally lacked an idealistic mindset and were
instead busy working, providing for their families. Many worked as small
business owners or with economics and law. Our parent generation (the 68
cultural conservative generation) had the same flaws we have today. We are
egotistical and greedy zealots driven by our lust for personal
acquisitions/prestige completely lacking a political idealistic drive.
There are still many of us who have always been or at least have become
politically active and we might witness a trend shift. This is because an
increasing number of people are waking up and seeing that much of what they
learned at school or read in the MSM press is a lie.
That our societies are spiraling down fast towards the abyss and we have
to stop it. But tbh. I doubt we can ever fully match the idealistic spirit of
the Marxist as it is not in our nature. Historically, we have usually waited
until the last possible second before reasserting control. This is not something
we can rely on as it is simply too risky. We can’t risk waiting until the
Muslims are 50% of the population or we will end up as Lebanon, as a terrorised
dhimmi minority in our own lands. The worst case scenario would be that we are
completely and utterly annihilated by Marxist-Islamic forces. The Marxists will
be wiped out by the Muslims as well, but at that point, we are already dead.
Conclusion:
Small groups of hardcore Marxists act as force-multipliers and control (through
hard work and a myriad of organisations) an extremely disproportionate amount of
the public debate and direction. The extreme Marxist youth organisations operate
as boot camps for the moderate and established political leftist parties and
organisations.
This proves that a micro minority has the potential to exert a massive amount of
influence in a country if they play their cards correctly. As few as 50-100
politically active individuals CAN considerably influence a country of 4-5
million. The same principle applies for the international community as well. The
global cultural Marxist mafia (the current world order) now effectively control
all Western European countries (Greece, Italy and Denmark excluded), the US
(Obama), Canada, the UN and a majority of the major NGOs.
The cultural conservatives MUST copy the organisational efforts of the
Marxists locally, nationally and internationally.
There are numerous international examples of micro groups influencing a country
or area disproportionally as they operate as force-multipliers.
Examples are the Taliban (less than 5%) in Pakistan. A small group can cause
civil war and inflict havoc in a country. The multiculturalists are saying that
it is unproblematic that 5-15% of Western European Muslims support Al Qaeda
ideologically. WRONG. 5-15% can bring any country to its knees!
10% of the Ummah make out more than 140 million individuals. If only half of
them (5%) declare Jihad the results will be irreversibly catastrophic. The
Bolsheviks where only counted a few hundred in 1910, the National Socialists was
a micro party before the crack in 1929 etc.
It has been found that in the country where the public is the most opposed to
Islamisation, Greece, there is no successful populist right party, but that in
two of the three Scandinavian countries where the public is the least opposed to
Islamisation, there is such a party.
The gist of the findings of such studies is that opposition to Islamisation is
widespread in all Western European countries. The question they raise
is, why is this opposition not translated into success for anti-immigrant
parties in certain countries like Sweden, Germany and the UK?
The answer is:
It is not the message itself but rather the credibility of the actor who
delivers it that makes the crucial difference. "Reputational shields" are
therefore thought to be helpful to political parties on three levels:
- 1. As a valuable resource for the anti-immigrant party in elite debate
- 2. As external justification for voters
- 3. As internal justification for voters.
Unfortunately, this is the case for BNP, they lack "reputational shields" on a
couple of areas, lacking a secondary platform and ”un-tainted” leadership.
For example, a party that has a legacy as an agrarian party will be able to use
its reputation shield to fend off criticisms from other elite actors accusing
the party of racism and extremism. By contrast, old fascist parties or brand new
parties do not have such reputational shields at their disposal when facing such
criticism. Second, a voter can more easily justify voting for a party proposing
radically restrictive immigration policies to his or her peers and community as
not being an act in support of racism or extremism if the party in question is
known for promoting "other policies", too. Third, voters can more easily justify
their choice to themselves as not being motivated by racism when the party in
question has a ”reputational shield”.
BNP and a few of these parties really needs a solid "secondary platform. F
example as a "tax cut" party, or "law and order" party. It will take them a few
years if they avoid making future mistakes (if they implement this agenda). The
potential is there.
All anti-Islamisation parties of Western Europe should study the "Norwegian
model". The Progress Party, currently the most successful anti-immigration party
in Europe, (www.frp.no) currently enjoying 27% on the polls (q1 09) and received
22% last election. It has a "reputational shields" as it started out as a "tax
cut" party but took on anti-Immigration in the early 90’s. They have a good
strategy where "modern rhetoric" and several "female" spokespersons is a part of
the picture.
Britain, France, and Sweden are stuck in this quagmire in particular. Tainted
"right wing" leaders (background from racial conservative movements) who are
indirectly dissalowing the Jihadi resistance movement from reaching its full
potential. However, as noted in another chapter, it is unlikely if remaining too
moderate in the foreseeable future will allow any party to gain any influence
whatsoever though. Perhaps remaining small and much more “hardcore” is the way
to go afterall? Germany, on the other hand, is a special case though. The
country still suffers from severe psychological trauma and is simply unable to
mount any form of political defence.
To focus on a specific issue first. Using progressive and tactical rhetoric.
Using appropriate rhetoric is essential in communicating a message successfully.
The word "race", “white”, “ethnic” or "nationalist" for that matter should never
be used in modern debates with adversaries or individuals who may have been
subject to severe indoctrination. These words are so stained by history and
post-war media coverage that you are basically just undermining yourself and the
message you seek to communicate by actively using them. It’s wise to limit the
use of all words that has stigma attached as well as or the cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist mainstream media will attempt to label you as a bigot.
If you use the word "race" you are basically contributing to committing
character assassination of yourself or will contribute to self-defeat of the
organisational goals you are representing. You need to understand the following;
the modern European man/women has been indoctrinated or conditioned in a way
that he is likely to run for the hill or active subliminous mental defensive
blocks if you use rhetoric containing these words in your attempt to reach out
to him or her. Ill try to explain this more throuroughly as this applies to me
as well. In a world where the absolute arch sin is to be a Nazi, words who are
associated with Nazis must be avoided at all costs, regardless of the
justification for associating them with given ideology. I have researched this
quite throuroughly as I have discussed immigration, European identity and
culture with hundreds perhaps thousands of individuals over the years. My
intention for discussing is often to reaffirm my beliefs by getting the
individuals to agree with me (which is normal when you discuss politics with
someone). In other words, I am initially assessing the individuals knowledge
level before deciding which rhetorical strategi I am to use. If he is a humanist
(naive), I will use a specific approach, a different one if he is a true
cultural Marxist and yet another if he is a capitalist globalists. I have
programmed in perhaps a hundred different rhetorical approaches wheter the
individual is a national Bolshevik or a laizzes faire capitalist.
included most of the facts and arguments
I actively use in this compendium so everyone has the opportunity to become a
master debater if he or she so chooses. The clue to win over new sympathisers or
supporters it done efficiently by telling them how the world works but by asking
the right questions or rather excellent arguments disguised as questions.
I use demographical data a lot, f example: Lebanese example (once a Christian
country, now Muslim) and add:
What is your reasoning for believing that Western Europe will not end up as
Lebanon from a demographical standpoint?
And if, let’s say, Western Europe is likely to end up as Lebanon, shouldn’t
Europeans be allowed to prevent this from happening?
Or a couple of other examples:
You say that preserving Tibetan culture is a just cause, that the Chinese
strategy of dempgraphical warfare using Han Chinese settlers is immoral. Why do
you then oppose European patriots trying to preserve European culture?
You claim that you are an anti fascist. But why do you ridicule Europeans
demonstrating outside Wahhabi Mosques when Wahhabism is clearly a fascist
ideology. Doesn’t this make you a hypocrite?
Using fact based arguments disguised as questions are killers and works
extremely well. I have coached several hundred individuals around the world in
rhetorical strategies and have thus contributed to win over hundreds perhaps
thousands of new supporters and sympathisers.
I have aprox. 2500 Facebook contacts at the moment. Whenever I put up a new
story (usually involving the current suicide of Europe) I get many comments. My
general rule is to delete all posts containing naughty words (listed above). The
reason is that these words act as deterrents and paralyzes the debate. Patriotic
“more politically correct” individuals who would normally comment will be afraid
to comment after a any definition of “blurp posts” containing f example one or
more words: “white” “race” “genocide” “civil war”.
In their mind they are terrified to somehow be associated with given individual
as they fear being labelled as a racist. The thought paralyzes them and
activates their self preservation mechanics which again tells them NOT to post.
It’s sad but we cant really do anything but to adapt to the reality that so many
patriots are indoctrinated to a point where they are completely brainwashed.
Whenever I ignore sensor of these words in debates, I end up with 5 or less
commentators. On the other hand, if I sensor any comments containing these words
I usually get more than 15 individual commentators (TRIPLE the amount).
The lesson we can learn from this and other examples are: the end goal is the
only relevant thing. Containing your rhetoric within certain politically correct
parameters is the only logical approach to go. Not doing is will often be
counter productive or self defeating.
The example of self containment should be used in other rhetorical circumstances
as well. We have the truth. Now HOW do we communicate the truth most
efficiently? There are counter productive ways and optimal ways to communicate
the truth based on which individual or target group you are communicating to.
If your target group is clearly a victim of systematic institutionalised
indoctrination like most humanists are, telling the truth directly, “in simple
words”, will just contribute to activate their mental defensive mechanisms which
will scare them away. Instead, you must articulate yourself through very vague
illustrations which almost indirectly will allow the individual to ask himself
essential questions (also known as mental conditioning or anti-indoctrination
rhetorical strategies). For examples, see essays published at sites with more
moderate cultural conservative lines.
Evaluating one example:
Multiculturalism is an anti-European hate ideology used to deconstruct European
cultures, traditions, identities and national states.
This statement would be just too brutal and direct for many indoctrinated people
and would possibly scare them away. There is always room for considering what is
the most optimal thing to say and what is counter productive. I’ve seen several
10 page essays which boils down to the above conclusion, brilliantly written. In
many cases, that 10 page essay could win a supporter while the small statement
could scare them away. It all depends on the individual and of course what your
goal is. For a large pan-European organisation with huge ambitions it would be
smart to think long term and tread softly, while individuals who are debating 1
on 1 or with a smaller audience will usually use more “powerful and direct
rhetoric” usually designed to ridicule or undermine rhetorical adversaries.
Preserving your reputation shields to achieve maximum penetration/ influence
towards all target groups
Let’s say you are a spokesman who wants to target various conservative groups
(with different ideological backgrounds – percentage indicates current potential
for sympathisers):
1.
Hardcore white supremacists or certain hardcore NS (>5%)
2.
White nationalists – 14 words etc. (>10)
3.
Cultural conservatives (15-30%)
4.
Moderate cultural conservatives (critical to multicult) (30-35)
5.
Pro-multiculturalist conservatives (40-60%)
Different types of rhetorical strategies must be applied to all the above
groups. Usually a serious political party will use quite moderate cultural
conservative rhetoric knowing that he will by default win all the more dedicated
sympathiser base.
If you use rhetorical strategies designed for group 5 you will appeal to all the
other groups etc. However, if you use rhetoric designed for group 3 you will be
considered too extreme by target group 4. and 5.
Preserving your reputational shields involves using the correct rhetoric. Which
groups would you want to reach out to in the future. Think 10 -20 – 30 years
ahead. Because past choices will be used against you by the cultural Marxist
establishment should you ever choose to become “more ambitious”.
Sadly, this is not the case with the left wing as Barroso is a clear example of.
It is a well known fact that he used to be a member of the Portuguese Communist
party, yet NO media company has ever tried to character assassinate him as they
would have done with any and all cultural conservative.
Opportunistic political parties or larger organisations may decide to “sell out”
their most essential principals in order to increase potential support. There
are examples of political parties in Europe who used to be 2. but who reformed
into 5. with the hopes of becoming “political relevant”. This can end as a
political disaster as that organisation or political party is ending up in a
situation where they are sensuring themselves to a degree that they in fact
become irrelevant. This may also upon up the posibilty for new players right of
them with more credible principles. Some conservative parties have ended up
supporting multiculturalism which just underlines that they have defeated
themselves and should no longer be allowed to call themselves conservatives.
As for target groups to reach out to; forget about cultural Marxists or more
hardcore Marxists. No matter how good your arguments and documentation is, they
have decided they do not want to hear the truth. Instead, focus on humanists and
naive or ignorant people in general – the great bulk of people. THAT is where
the potential for support is. Use deceptive means when required, the worst and
most incompetent debater is ALWAYS the most sincere debater. They are swallowed
and chewed to bits in seconds and are generally vulnerable to character
assassination. This is why 95% of all politicians are liars or manipulators of
truth, they wouldn’t be successful politicians if they weren’t exactly that
unfortunately.
Modern politicians tend to use the words: non-Muslim, conservatives, cultural
conservatives, Christian European, "the indigenous peoples of Europe, or native
European, or if I absolutely have to - ethnic European when describing
"Europeans". Some of these words are relatively ”inclusive” and can appeal/reach
out to all specters of the right wing including the Christian Movements in
addition to free market liberals.
Furthermore, it can be smart to limit the use of words like: ethnic groups, but
rather focus on Islam, non-Islamic, Muslims, non-Muslims. Also, use the term:
anti-Islamisation instead of anti-immigrant. As for trying to describe a threat,
focus on Global Islamic Ummah and dhimmitude (yes, some educating into the
meaning of some words will have to be included). People in general are
unfamiliar with many of the ”new words” so certain explanatory comments would be
required.
The use of a clearly defined "rhetorical strategy" is the essence of success for
all Conservative politicians, master debaters and leaders. Unfortunately folks
older than 40 tend to blurp up "dirty outdated rhetoric" now and then, while
people younger than 40 are usually more disciplined in regards to rhetorical
containment.
Also, I’ve said this before several times. It’s a strategic mistake to use
"nationalist" or "national" in a political party name - the case with BNP and
National Front. There is too much stigma attached to the word and many people
will subliminously see parallels with Nazi Germany.
Furthermore, it can be a strategically smart to use female spokespersons in
debates involving immigration and Islamisation (topics that for many people
traditionally has evolved around ”angry, single, white men”
We didn't create these rules, but it’s in our interest to follow them if we want
to more successfully distribute our messages.
Consider Islam as a decease you can take advantage of. The Islamisation of
Europe and the ongoing demographic warfare being waged against Europe by the
Global Islamic Ummah is basically THAT SOMETHING that will bring the cultural
conservatives together and eventually to power (within 40-70 years). So in the
mean time, it’s essential that the older generation cultural conservative start
adapting to this "new reality" and start updating their rhetorical strategies or
shut the hell up.
On a different note, Racial Conservatism is dead and should not IN ANY WAY be
linked rhetorically to Cultural Conservatism (Racial Conservatism died in WW2).
Our battle on the other hand involves Cultural Conservatism, our duty and right
to resist Cultural genocide and Islamic demographic warfare. Cultural
Conservatism has NOTHING to do with Racial Conservatism. Learn from past
mistakes and exercise rhetorical containment.
But what about the relevance of the terms “ethnicity” and “race”?
Ethnicity has always played a significant factor in every single conflict, and I
believe it will in the future as well whether we like it or not. Just look at
Iraq. It’s a text book example of ethnic war - Kurds vs. Sunni Arabs vs Persian
Shias. Turkey: Turks vs Kurds etc. It’s not a secret that ethnicity is closely
linked to culture in a majority of countries worldwide.
In fact, Islam is one of the most racist political ideologies in the world.
Usually when a society has been 90%+ Islamised the Arabisation process begins
with often financial support from Saudi and other Arab countries. This is the
case in Mauritania and several African countries. Systematic "Arabisation"
efforts are being ignored by western media and academia which on the other hand
are blindly obsessed with implementing multiculturalism.
In Europe today, where a majority of individuals have been a victim of
institutionalised multiculturalist indoctrination for several decades it’s
essential that we exercise rhetorical containment. Not with the intention of
appeasing the cultural Marxists/multiculturalists but rather with the intention
of protecting ourselves from the mine field which is cultural conservatism. The
cultural Marxists/multiculturalists WANT us to use "flagged" rhetoric as it will
make it very easy for them to label us as bigots.
I don’t think individuals who use ”flagged rhetoric” understands the concepts of
"reputational shields". In fact, I very much doubt they have studied modern
right wing rhetorical strategies which is extremely important to individuals as
well as for political parties. It is not the message itself but rather the
credibility of the actor who delivers it that makes the crucial difference. An
individual using "flagged" rhetoric such as "race", race war", white people,
black people, Jews (in the same sentence as race f example), ethnic (in the same
sentence as Jews) - are triggering every imaginable mine put up for him which in
turn will completely obliterate his ”reputational shield” (if he ever had one).
Therefore he is not only undermining his own efforts, but he risks pushing other
”moderate conservatives” away. They might distance themselves as it might affect
their individual "reputational shields" by being affiliated with flagged
individuals.
So even though ethnicity and race still is relevant, it is not in our best
interest to talk about it. If we do, we are only increasing the risk of
destroying our own credibility which is lethal for individuals aspiring to reach
a large audience (politicians etc). This will undermine and limit the impact and
distribution of their future messages (which is the case with BNP and National
Front to a certain degree).
As Muhammad once said: War is Deceit (al-Taqiyya). Many Muslims are masters of
deceit, and it’s time we start adapting to these realities as well.
Cultural Communism is one of the most deceitful ideologies out there (next to
Islam). It’s a deceitful, racist, fascist, hate ideology bent on the eradication
of Christianity and Western Culture.
Multiculturalism has never been about tolerance. It is an anti-Western hate
ideology championed as an instrument for unilaterally dismantling European
culture. As such, it is an evil ideology bent on an entire culture's
eradication, and we, the peoples of Europe, have not just a right, but a duty to
resist it.
The key is preserving our reputational shields using strategic rhetoric.
National, Nationalist, nationalism?
As for the specific word, "nationalist" or nationalism, it’s debatable.
Personally, I feel that the word is stained by history, or smeared to oblivion
by Marxists, and thus I feel it may be counter productive to use it at least for
a political party going for the 35% mark, although I know that many people will
disagree.
End note:
I might be mistaken regarding the above “growth strategy”. An overinflated right
wing political party, who has sold out most of their principles, might be able
to delay a Muslim majority for a few decades at best but may end up as
completely irrelevant when the window of oppurtuntiy arises for a potential
political coup in the future as they have kicked out all their leaders who had a
spine. Under given circumstances, a smaller right wing political party with a
minimum of “intact principles” against multiculturalism may prove to be a lot
more relevant when it comes to saving the country. The coup makers would not
trust a bloated right wing party which by many would be considered a part of the
problem.
The ongoing US cultural war is fundamentally different from the European and the
rhetoric clearly reflects the differences.
You cannot and should not mix the European struggle with the US struggle and
therefore should not use similar arguments when discussing the two struggles.
European patriotism vs. US patriotism
American conservatives in general (anti-Marxists) should learn the following;
Marxism has two primary components; socialistic economic policies and
internationalism (multiculturalism/cultural Marxism). You are not a nationalist,
not even a conservative by its very definition, if you support multiculturalist
doctrines. The reason is that multiculturalism is anti-nationalistic by design.
Multiculturalism is designed to deconstruct European traditions, culture,
identity and even the nation state in order to create the one world Marxist
utopia. Many Americans fail to comprehend this fact.
Different challenges
The important difference between the US and Europe is that our issues are quite
different. We have been flooded with 25-30 million conservative and relatively
poorly educated Muslims the last 5 decades, by our traitor leaders, while the US
are in a quite different situation. In relation to the cultural challenges of
Europe, Christian immigration cannot be compared to Islamic.
The different challenges are manifested by the use of different rhetorical
strategies. Europeans have a different basis for
justifying our rights and we have slightly different concerns. When an American
nationalist discuss with a European he will immediately bring up race as this
factor correlates with the US issues (Mexican immigration, African Americans
etc). Using this form of rhetoric will cause a majority of Europeans to “run for
the hills”. The reason is because a great majority of Americans and Europeans
have gone through decades of multiculturalist indoctrination. Everyone should
know this by now and should be more considerate when choosing their rhetorical
approach, because the most essential thing at this point is to continue to build
a broad and strong consolidation of conservatives. For Europe, this rhetorical
approach will for the most part involve cultural defence relating to
Islam(isation) as it is the only issue at the moment that has the potential and
potency to unite enough conservatives.
As the primary goal is a broad and realistic consolidation, the discussion of
deeper aspects of conservatism is counterproductive. At least for Europeans.
Tactical approach - European vs. white, victimhood vs. supremacy
The average “conservative” in the US is NOT a nationalist
(anti-internationalist) but a libertarian (republican – pro capitalism and pro
multiculturalism). A majority of US conservatives have no understanding of the
concepts of political nationalism. After all, they have no experience with these
doctrines and often mistakenly confuse them with fascism. Those Americans who
are in fact nationalists are almost always ethnocentric and are often associated
with rhetoric related to “14 words movements”. This represents the first major
divide as Europeans do not identify themselves as “white” but European. “White
nationalism” does not exist in Europe. The reason is because Americans have been
indoctrinated to suppress their European heritage (they don’t generally identify
themselves using the term European-American) and many have therefore instead
adopted the term “white”. The 14 words principle: “we must secure the existence
of our people and a future for white children” reflect the typical US “white
nationalist” mentality and should never be used by a European individual. The
term is indicative of a so called “race struggle” and therefore NOT necessarily
a struggle for indigenous rights. Europeans on the other hand do not fully
understand the potency of using rhetoric related to “indigenous rights.
Rhetoric related to “indigenous rights” is an untapped goldmine which has
currently been deluded and sidetracked due to “rhetorical contamination” from
the US. If you use “white nationalist” rhetoric you are instantly placed in the
same category as Hitler. This is not the case with rhetoric related to
indigenous rights as this rhetoric is usually related to the Aboriginal or
Native American struggles. Some of the reason why many nationalists reject the
“indigenous” argument is because it is generally used by a group who has been
defeated. Both the Australian aborigines and the Native American forces fought
hard for their rights but both were utterly annihilated due to the fact that
they lived in the Stone Age when the Europeans first arrived. Some nationalists
thus associate these arguments with rhetoric of victimhood and defeat. The
maschochistic nature of some nationalists (so called white nationalists in
particular) turns them off from using this form of rhetoric and they instead
contribute to defeat themselves by using rhetoric associated with supremacy.
While I do not condone the “victimhood hype” in any way or form the fact remains
that playing the victim card is the most potent strategy of our times. Refusing
to use a logical and pragmatical approach in this regard (due to some primitive
need to feed individual egos) is counterproductive and highly destructive.
Are we a “Sitting Bull[1][2]” or a Hitler of our time?
The difference between other indigenous rights movements and the European
indigenous rights movements is that we have not in any way been defeated
militarily. The European armed indigenous rights movements/resistance movements
are just starting to emerge and this will continue in the coming decades. The
armed fight for our survival lies ahead of us.
The outcome of the Aboriginal and Native American struggle established a crystal
clear precedence which dictates that the indigenous peoples of a specific
territory have undisputed exclusive rights in their own lands. If this is the
case for Aborigines in Australia and Native Americans in the US, shouldn’t that
be the case for Europeans in Europe as well? The fact that the cultural
Marxists, anti-nationalist humanists and globalists outright refuse us the same
basic human rights prove without a doubt that THEY are in fact the racists, that
they are the fascists and Nazis of our time.
Using this type of rhetoric will significantly damage the Marxists moral
justification for our persecution, the armed forces of the European Resistance
Movements. They will have a much harder time finding the legal and moral
justification for branding us as terrorists as we are in fact fighting for our
indigenous rights (compared to the Islamic terrorists who are fighting for world
domination – a global Caliphate based on Sharia law). We are no more terrorists
than the indigenous Brits who fought against the imperialistic Roman invaders,
or the Americans who fought against English rule. We are no more terrorists than
Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse or Chief Gall who fought for their people against the
imperialist General Armstrong Custer. Our struggle will be a lot easier if
European nationalist (indigenous rights activists) use smart and defusing
arguments instead of using supremacist arguments which can be efficiently
squashed through psychological warfare propaganda or by anti-Nazi policies. Yes,
we are fighting the imperialistic Marxist doctrines. The only difference is now,
WE are the Sitting Bulls, Crazy Horses and Chief Galls and the imperialistic
Custer’s of our time is called Barroso, Blair, Brown, Merkel and Sarkozy.
And who in today’s political climate want to be associated as the persecutor and
butcher of Sitting Bull and who is fighting for his peoples indigenous rights?
The indigenous argument is an incredibly potent weapon which more or less is
completely untapped. Europeans should never use “14 words” rhetoric as it is
coined for European Americans. It is a self defeating argument, if ever used in
Europe, as it automatically places you in the same category as Hitler.
The estimated potential forces of all armed European Resistance Movements is
approximately 13 million (compared to the defeated Aboriginal force of
5000-10 000 and the Native American force of 100 000+). The only difference is
that a majority of the patriots involved are not willing to fight and die for
the cause just yet as long as we live in economical prosperity.
The most pragmatical way to move forward is to play the victim card in
combination with cruel methods of armed resistance. We must literally focus all
our efforts at creating an optimal environment for recruitment. This can only be
done if we manage to cripple all Western European economies through financially
crippling sabotage operations and cynical shock attacks which will devastate the
stock markets and severely undermine the Euro, causing a favourable climate for
recruitment. This approach is
formulated in this compendium.

It is extremely important that the cultural conservatives/patriots/nationalists
in Europe who are ideologically confident take responsibility and
educate/encourage the non-confident nationalists.
So what is a non-confident nationalist and how do I approach him?
Every ideologically confident nationalist should take note of the following.
DO NOT make this war about race or ethnicity. You have to keep in mind that most
people in Western Europe have been systematically indoctrinated for the last 4-5
decades. So opening liners such as the following is guaranteed to push people
away:
“hail brother, fight by our side in the ongoing race war, we are going to
destroy the ZOG and kill all the Jews, sieg heil brother!
I consider myself to be quite ideologically confident but had anyone said this
to me, I would probably run for the hills and ignore any future encounter with
that individual. Somehow, internal filters against these words are all hardcoded
into the base thought patterns of a majority of Europeans through decades of
multiculturalist indoctrination. Statements like that manages to trigger
absolutely every red flag and alarm in the average European telling him to get
the hell out of there. It is essential to understand this and that many people
would rather commit suicide or live under slavery/harsh dhimmitude than to
become a Nazi or fight for the Nazi cause. Because today’s Nazism isn’t the sum
of the individual doctrines of National Socialism! It has rather become a
massively bloated phenomenon - a reincarnation of pure evil itself. Demonising
Nazism has through 6 decades of indoctrination (the most unparalleled
indoctrination campaign witnessed in the history of man) which has developed
into an unconscious established truth. As such, and due to the actual negative
and evil aspects of this ideology, it is pointless to try to resurrect it in any
way or form. Regardless of this obvious fact, many old school nationalists are
still using this crap to try to recruit people.
In order to connect with the ordinary man you must understand that he is a
modern man who has travelled a several decade long journey through
multiculturalist institutions. He is completely brainwashed so tread carefully
and take the required precautions. You have to understand his pain and concerns
in his everyday life. The fear of Islamisation is the most pressing concern for
most Europeans and Islam is NOT a race. So avoid talking about race. It is a
cultural war, not a race war! If you do believe it is a race war, then keep it
to yourself as it is un-doubtfully counterproductive to flag those views.
A cultural conservative is a closet nationalist, who is just using different
rhetoric to avoid the stigma. It is often a strategic choice. The concept of
nationalism appeals to less than 15-20% while the concept of cultural
conservatism has the potential to appeal to as much as 35% although there is
basically little difference. After all, three decades of multiculturalist
indoctrination has taught me to adapt to the currently hostile environment we
are living in.
Approximately 70% of Western European males would sacrifice their lives to
prevent Europe from being conquered by Islam while less than 10% would sacrifice
their life for their race. As such, it isn’t exactly rocket science to foresee
which ideology (with given rhetorical strategies) will win over the “modern
patriot”.
Waking up enough of our fellow Europeans will take several decades. Do not
expect him to accept and embrace the light immediately; especially when we are
fully aware of that he has been thought to avoid the light.
I’ve spoken to numerous successful and less successful right wing
blog/news-site/Facebook “reporters” over the years and the general opinion seems
to be that the creation and distribution of a paper-magazine/newspaper is so
incredibly difficult and problematic. I can honestly not understand why people
feel this way. This is why I will present a 3 step guide to how you and anyone
can take the step from internet distribution to paper distribution with national
coverage. This is not as hard as people might think it is. Also, many people
will argue: “paper distribution is dead, internet is the future!” While this
certainly seems to be the direction we are headed you cannot and should not
underestimate/ignore paper distribution yet. Creating a “paper” presence will be
essential to reach a greater number of European patriots.
Illustration case example:
Document.no
Document.no is a Norwegian right wing blog/site equivalent in content to
BrusselsJournal.com,
GatesOfVienna.blogspot.com,
JihadWatch.org or
AtlasShrugs2000.typepad.com
Current distribution in Norway:
9000 unique weekly hits and growing
Content:
The site is relatively “academically heavy” compared to the tabloids but the
content is excellently written. Approximately 60% are news articles/essays
translated from other sites while 40% are essays/stories written by the editors,
primarily critique of multiculturalism and the multiculturalist elites of
Norway/Western Europe.
Staff:
Run voluntarily (unpaid) by 1-2 people.
Finances:
currently funded by the owners/staff and by small contributions from the
readers.
Paper distribution goal
Annual editions:
12 annual issues
Total distribution/production:
5000 copies
Price for subscribers:
5 Euros
Price in store:
10 Euros (5 Euros profit for store)
Initial distribution goal/method:
I believe that a blog with 9000 weekly unique hits should be able to convert
this base to at least 500-1000 initial subscribers. The initial goal for
national coverage through stores/kiosks should be 2000-4000. The total number of
printed copies would be aprox. 5000.
1.
Planning phase; prepare for an initial production of 12 annual editions. It is
wise to start of slowly with a magazine (monthly edition) and slowly build up
your base until you are in a position where you can create a “5 times per week –
newspaper”. Total price will be 10 Euros per magazine whereas 5 Euros will be
the cut to the seller (the kiosk/store selling it). You will split the
distribution into: 1: Subscription (5 Euros per copy), 2: Sold at stores/kiosks
(10 Euros per copy).
2.
Convert 500-1000 unique readers into paying subscribers. This can be done
through “in house” sales methods on the blog/site. Before you initiate your “in
house sales campaign” I would recommend that you create a graphical illustration
of the front page (jpg) of the first paper edition of the magazine to show
people what they can expect (with perhaps a small appendix)
3.
When the site/blog-owner has managed to acquire a minimum of subscribers (aprox
500-1000 minimum), they may finally
contact the “director of distribution” in your countries leading retail
corporation(s) (the corporation that owns a majority of kiosks/small stores and
evaluates which magazines they shall sell). Set up a meeting with him, bring a
laptop and a nice PowerPoint presentation and present the editorial content and
argue why it will be profitable for his company to allow your magazine to be
distributed from their stores/kiosks. Add a graphical illustration of your first
magazine to your PowerPoint presentation. You must present credible arguments
especially from a business point of view. You should, however, also be prepared
to defend the this conservative concept from a moral and democratical point of
view. Larger countries such as the UK, France and Germany) will have several
corporations like this so you will have to set up meetings with several of these
directors. Under normal circumstances, and providing your presentation is good,
your magazine will be given a “test period”, where the “sales numbers” will be
the deciding factor. End note: definition of hate speech -
f example racist magazines will not be accepted but moderate magazines,
such as magazines critical of multiculturalism, Islamisation, pro-culture etc.
should be able to be accepted unless the director in question is a dedicated
left winger. Create an initial/intentional distribution agreement; f example
that you are allowed to sell your magazines from 500 stores/kiosks over a 3
month test period.
4.
A monthly edited PDF file with articles/essays is to be prepared and sent by
email to a commercial publication partner such as
www.07.no. A company such as the “07
Group” is a wide range “publication partner” which can handle the following
tasks:
Edit/design the initial PDF file template if necessary and edit/prepare it for
print. If the staff/editors/journalists at the blogsite lacks basic PDF editing
skills the publishing company can handle everything from design, editing,
adding/creating graphics and extra text and they can even design a basic
template for you. The end result will often be a template where the editor can
just fill in content. Companies such as the 07 Group will then print the
finished PDF file in the desired magazine format. In our case, this will be a
standard magazine format with typically glossy front/back page and put together
by two staples.
The publishing company will then apply addresses and send out the 500-1000
completed issues to your subscribers. They will then truck a shipment of 4000
magazines to the distribution
central of the store/kiosk corporation.
5.
As soon as the above is done, you may formalise (at this point you should
already know how much you are going to pay) your agreement with the publishing
company. The only thing to keep in mind is to follow point 1 to 4.
A sea of content available online ready to be distributed via paper
You do not have to be a writer genius to become an editor of a conservative
newspaper/magazine. There is a vast ocean of well written stories, essays etc.
critical of multiculturalism and in support the conservative view that has never
been published by the MSM. There are probably more than 20-30 internet based
right wing blog-news-sites which will gladly offer to forward their
essays/stories to you as long as you credit them as the author. As such, anyone
who wants to start their own English/French/German/Spanish speaking etc.
conservative newspaper/magazine could easily gain access to a vast database of
stories and articles presently unpublished in paper format and you would
therefore not need to hire any journalists/reporters.
Costs related to paper distribution
I have acquired a price estimate from the largest all-in-one publishing
companies in Oslo: 07 Group. Since the general price level in Norway is quite
expensive I would assume that this would be even cheaper in other countries.
Distribution/copies:
5000
Format:
19,5x27,5 cm (standard magazine format)
Pages:
96
Press:
4/4 CMYK
Paper:
90g arctic volume white H or equivalent
Assembled:
two metal staples (back-stapled)
Address printing on copies:
500 separate addresses printed on each copy from subscriber database
Packaging:
freely on palette
Price for 5 000 copies: 4482 Euro
(without sales tax)
Price per copy: 0,9 Euro (without
sales tax)
Price per additional 1000 copies: 481
Euro
The price is based on the following:
Material:
The publishing company receive a PDF file from the blog/news site.
The final file may be reviewed by the company before print.
End note: realistically, it is likely that at least 50% of publications
attempting to go from the internet into paper format will fail, due to
politically motivated sabotage or refusal from the distributor (after pressure
from local or national government or other political left wing pressure groups.
However, seeking national distributions for publications critical of
multiculturalism should be a prioritised task and we owe it to everyone to do
our best in this process. As of now, there are no cultural conservative paper
publication in Norway, Sweden and several Western European countries. As for
Denmark; BT and Jyllands Posten are considered somewhat remotely conservative.

I have mentioned several times the possibility that we never won the Cold War as
decisively as we should have done. The enemy has been regrouping and now largely
controls our media and educational institutions less than a generation after the
fall of the Berlin Wall. We did not have public trials against the supporters of
Marxism just as we did against Nazism. That was a serious mistake, and it is of
paramount importance that we do not repeat it. If or when the European Union
collapses and multiculturalism is defeated across the Western world, we need to
stage public trials against the creators of Eurabia and the lies continuously
told by our media and academia. They need to be exposed as evil and politically
crushed.
This leads us to ask the following questions: Less than a generation after the
fall of the totalitarian Soviet Union and its puppet regimes in Eastern Europe,
we are watching the rise of the European Union, which is rapidly moving in a
totalitarian direction in Western Europe. Some of the former Communist countries
in Europe are now freer than their Western cousins, although this will soon
change as they are indoctrinated by the EU. Is there a connection between the
fall of the USSR and the rise of the EUSSR, as former Soviet dissident Vladimir
Bukovksy[1] has indicated? Have we entered the Cold War, part 2? I notice how
many former Marxists now passionately support multiculturalism and mass
immigration, and listened to one prominent Communist “intellectual” in my
country attack free speech as a concept a few days ago. Could the European Union
ever have been a good idea, or was it flawed from its very inception? That’s
something to ponder. I’m willing to consider the possibility that something
“went wrong” with the EU at some point, but right now I’m leaning towards the
conclusion that the EU has always been a flawed institution. Most of us just
didn’t see it for what it was.
Lastly, I will focus on Milton Friedman, who along with
F. Hayek is one of the villains of Klein’s book. According to her, Friedman has
stated that “only a crisis — actual or perceived — produces real change. When
that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are
lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives to
existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically
impossible becomes politically inevitable.” Friedman believes that during a
crisis, we only have a brief window of opportunity before society slips back
into the “tyranny of the status quo,” and that we need to use this opportunity
or lose it.
This is actually very good advice, and it’s in my view
the strategy Western survivalists should now follow. When I first started
blogging I was concerned with how we could “fix the system.” I’ve gradually come
to the conclusion that the system cannot be fixed, and perhaps shouldn’t be
fixed. Not only does it have too many enemies, it also has too many internal
contradictions. If we define the “system” as mass immigration from alien
cultures, globalism, multiculturalism and suppression of free speech in the name
of “tolerance,” then this is going to collapse. It’s inevitable.
The goal of Western survivalists — and that’s what we are
— should not be to “fix the system,” but to be mentally and physically prepared
for its collapse, and to develop coherent answers to what went wrong and prepare
to implement the necessary remedies when the time comes. We need to seize the
window of opportunity, and in order to do so, we need to define clearly what we
want to achieve.
What, exactly, is Western civilisation? What went wrong
with it, and how can we survive and regenerate as a vulnerable minority in an
increasingly hostile world?
Let the debate begin.

Blogger Vanishing American[1] continues what is gradually becoming one of the
most important discussions of our age: What role does, or should, Christianity
play in Western civilisation? Is it the bedrock of our culture[2], as Robert
Spencer of Jihad Watch thinks, and is our decline associated with abandoning it?
Or is Christianity, as John Derbyshire puts it[3], a religion for once and
future slaves, an ideology that is now fueling globalist ideals and undermining
our borders through mass immigration?
The Christian-non-Christian divide is perhaps the most difficult divide to
overcome within the West today. I’m struggling with this myself. Some of the
criticism of Christianity, or at least the way many Western Christians are
behaving now, is legitimate. I have heard Catholics claim that multiculturalism
and Political Correctness are tied to Protestant culture. I’m willing to
consider that possibility. There are significant doctrinal differences between
Catholics and Protestants regarding redemption and the sinful nature of man.
Maybe some of this is tied to the Protestant concept of “salvation through Faith
alone.” However, when it comes to just plain old-fashioned dhimmitude and
abandoning national borders, Catholics are at least as bad as Protestants.
The Second Vatican Council from the 1960s was good for reaching out to
Christians of other denominations, Protestant and Orthodox, and for reaching out
to Jews. The problematic aspect is in relations to Islam. The big Achilles’ heel
of Christians in general, and of Jews, when confronted with Islam is the idea of
a “shared community of monotheists worshiping the God of Abraham.” As long as
this myth is maintained, Christianity can actually in certain situations be a
bridge for Islam to enter the West, rather than a bulwark against it. I have
seen more than once Christians making common cause with Muslims as “men of
faith” against the godless forces of secularism. I notice, however, that
Christians hardly ever do the same with, say, Hindus, so it must have something
to do with a shared sense of monotheism.
Christianity is growing fast in South Korea. It is interesting to see how newly
converted Christians react in non-Western nations. I’ve been critical of
Christianity sometimes because it is one of the impulses behind the Western
inability to protect our borders, and it is. But it is Christianity within a
specific cultural-ideological context that reacts like this. Koreans don’t have
the same problem, as far as I know. Nor did we, until the 1960s and 70s. So what
changed? It can’t all be related to Christianity, can it?
As vanishing American writes[4]:
These days we hear so many arguments against Christianity, such as from the
‘proselytising atheists’ like Dawkins and Hitchens, and then we hear the
arguments from the secular right which attack Christianity for being too
pacifistic. The atheists claim that Christianity fomented violence, and that it
is as militant and bloodthirsty as Islam, or in fact worse, and on the other
side, we hear that Christianity is a religion of slaves, which weakens and
emasculates the West. So Christianity gets it from both sides; it’s too
militant, it causes wars and persecutions, and at the same time, it's a religion
that turns men into milquetoast pacifists. Does this make any sense?
Christianity contains elements of both militancy and pacifism, but it is not one
or the other. […] We know that our forefathers did not believe Christianity
commanded them to be pacifists, or to erase borders and nations. To assert that
they, for centuries, were wrong and that we are the first generation to really
understand Christianity and the Bible is arrogant in the extreme. If anything,
we today, on the average, are far more ignorant than our ancestors where the
Bible and the faith are concerned. If anybody is wrongly handling the word of
God, it is likely to be us, not our forefathers. Their brains were at least not
addled by nonsense and Political Correctness, and I trust the consensus of our
forefathers through the centuries rather than the consensus among today’s
compromised generation.
In a comment on VA’s blog one of his readers writes[5]:
I used to be a devout, practicing Christian. Today, I cannot recognise myself in
any brand of Christianity currently available. Nor am I alone. Many of my
friends tell me: “I can't enter any church now without having to leave my brain
at the door.”
In this regard, the evangelist, fundamentalist churches are no better than the
liberal ones. I once attended a presentation at a nearby Pentecostal church
about Third World poverty. The cause? Lack of infrastructure. All we had to do
was dig deeper into our pockets and the problem would be solved.
I’m sorry to say this but the cause is deeply rooted and largely intractable, at
least in the short term. We will not help the world’s poor by welcoming them to
our shores. We will simply destroy ourselves in the process.
John Derbyshire is more right than wrong. Yes, medieval Christianity had no
qualms about resisting invaders, but medieval Christians (as Protestants love to
point out) had adulterated their faith with pagan beliefs. Over the past few
centuries, Christianity has stripped itself of its pagan accretions. In the
process, it has become as much a threat to ourselves and our loved ones as
Marxism used to be, if not more so.
That sounds like a harsh judgment. It is.

Although not a religious person myself, I am usually in favor of a
revitalisation of Christianity in Europe[1]. However, I sometimes have my doubts
when I see how many, too many, church leaders consistently end up on the wrong
side of issues related to Islam and Muslim immigration.
Bat Ye’or[2] claims that dhimmitude[3] in the Middle East has often progressed
because Christian leaders have sold out their own people, either for short-term
personal gains or in the mistaken belief that they have a “shared religious
heritage” with Muslims. It is also frequently Christian leaders and bishops in
the West[4] who are calling for open borders[5] for poor, destitute Muslims
because “it is the Christian thing to do.”
The Protestant Lutheran Church in the German city of Hannover organised an
exhibition to acquaint the Germans with Islam. The exhibition, entitled “The
Faces of Islam[6],” was the work of the female students of the Protestant
Studies Institute in Aachen. On Palm Sunday in 2006, a Protestant church in
Bochum, Germany celebrated Muhammad’s birthday[7] and invited the local Turkish
community to attend the service. A Turkish music band played Sufi music during
the service, in which Protestants and Muslims joined together in honour of
Muhammad.
In the UK, church leaders wanted to invite the families of the London suicide
bombers[8] to a national memorial service in honour of the victims. Two senior
Church of England bishops believed that extending the invitation to the bombers’
families would acknowledge their own loss and send a powerful message of
reconciliation to the Muslim community. Dr John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York,
urged the nation to unite and turn would-be suicide bombers into friends by
building “an inclusive circle of love[9].”
The same Archbishop has also said that British Christians should see Muslims as
allies in the struggle against secularism[10]. A number of Christian, and some
Jewish, leaders shared this point of view both during the death threats against
Salman Rushdie and during the Danish cartoon Jihad.
Meanwhile, in Indonesia, about 10,000 Christians have been killed[11] between
1998 and 2003 and about 1,000 churches have been burnt down by Muslim mobs. The
radicals want Indonesia to be the foundation of a Southeast Asian caliphate[12]
that will launch Jihad against other nations such as Singapore, Thailand, the
Philippines and Australia until they submit to Islam. In the Indonesian province
Aceh, where sharia law officially prevails, Muslim mobs razed a church in
response to a forged (by a Muslim) advertisement inviting Muslims to a Christian
revival service. Witnesses said there were over 100 Muslim men present[13], many
of them carrying swords. They poured gasoline over the building and set fire to
it.
Why this aggressive reaction? According to Islamic law, Christians and Jews (not
other religious groups) can live in an area dominated by Muslims, but only if
they accept their status as second-rate citizens, dhimmis. This implies many
restrictions, such as never trying to convert or preach to Muslims, never to
have a relationship with a Muslim woman and never to say anything insulting
about Islam or Muhammad. If even one single person breaches any of these
conditions, the entire dhimmi community will be punished, and Jihad resumes.
Notice that while Muslims, following each case of Islamic terrorism, are quick
to say that not all Muslims should be punished for the actions of a few, this is
precisely what sharia prescribes for non-Muslims.
What’s worse is that in practice, as in this case from Indonesia, attacks on
non-Muslims can be triggered by unconfirmed rumours, personal grudges by Muslims
or outright lies. In reality, this means that all non-Muslims will live with a
constant, internalised fear of saying or doing anything that could insult
Muslims, which would immediately set off physical attacks against them and their
children. This state of constant fear is called dhimmitude. Many Middle Eastern,
Pakistani and Indonesian Christians know that as a matter of survival, they must
say one thing in public and another in private. They are held hostage in their
own countries[14].
In Egypt, a film depiction[15] of someone converting to Islam and then becoming
disillusioned with his new religion was enough to bring more than 5,000
protestors to the church, get a nun stabbed and three people killed. Muslims
interpreted it as a breach of the traditional Islamic law mandating death for
anyone who leaves Islam, and of the old dhimmi laws forbidding non-Muslims to
proselytise.
Bishop Armia of the Coptic Church in Egypt, which predates the 7th century Arab
invasion and preserves the last remainder of the language of the ancient
pharaohs, assured that “Copts would never tolerate anyone insulting Islam.”
Coptic Pope Shenouda III, knowing fully well that any provocation could mean
mayhem and murder for his fellow Copts, has reiterated that[16] “any remarks
which offend Islam and Muslims are against the teachings of Christ.”
Several recent incidents have demonstrated that Muslims are now trying to apply
these dhimmi rules to the entire Western world. The most important one was the
burning of churches and embassies triggered by the Danish cartoons depicting
Muhammad. This was, down to the last comma, exactly the way Muslims would treat
the persecuted non-Muslims in their own countries. The cartoon Jihad indicated
that Muslims now felt strong enough to apply sharia rules to Denmark, and by
extension NATO. Hardly anybody in the mainstream Western media made any attempts
to explain this to the public.
In another case, angry protests raged across the Muslim world over a Newsweek
magazine report[17] that interrogators at the U.S. military prison Guantanamo
Bay had put the Koran on toilets, and in at least one case flushing it down. The
escalating violence prompted Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to urge Muslims
to resist calls for violence. “Disrespect for the Holy Koran is abhorrent to us
all,” she said. Newsweek later retracted their original article, which was found
to be baseless.
In November 2002, days before the Miss World pageant in Nigeria, a Nigerian
newspaper published an article in which the writer suggested that Islam’s
prophet, Muhammad, would have approved the pageant and would have chosen a wife
amongst the contestants. The article sparked a Jihad riot in which over 200
people were killed and thousands injured. The next day, the newspaper published
an apology. The president of Nigeria went on national television and condemned
the newspaper. He said, “It could happen anytime irresponsible journalism is
committed against Islam.”
As one African observer later noted[18] about the Newsweek story, the reaction
of the White House in the United States was largely similar to that a Third
World president gave when faced with the same challenge. For Muslims, the
world’s only remaining superpower appeared to play the role of dhimmis.
Bishop Artemije, the spiritual leader of Kosovo’s beleaguered Serbs[19], has
warned against Western support for an independent state in the province, where
Muslim Albanians greatly outnumber Christian Serbs and have destroyed many
churches and monasteries under the auspices of NATO soldiers. The Bishop warns
that independence would reward ethnic cleansing of non-Muslims. Since 9-11, he
said, “the United States has been engaged in a global struggle against jihad
terrorism, which threatens not just America but peaceful people of all faiths
and nationalities. That is why we who live in the Serbian province of Kosovo and
Metohija find it difficult to understand why so many voices of influence in
Washington support a course of action that would hand to the terrorists a
significant victory in Europe.”
While Muslims responded with deadly outrage to the now-retracted report by
Newsweek of alleged Koran desecration, there was little outcry when Islamic
gunmen in 2002 holed up in Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity, assumed to be the
birthplace of Jesus Christ, used the Bible as toilet paper[20]. About 30
priests, monks and nuns, and more than 150 Palestinian civilians, who hid inside
to escape a gun battle between Israelis and Palestinians, remained inside the
church with the armed militants for more than five weeks. Some of the
Palestinian fighters, who belonged to the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, part of
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s Fatah organisation, were received as heroes
when they later returned to Gaza.
During the so-called Oslo peace process from the mid 1990s, while Palestinian
authorities received financial support from Western nations, Arafat increased
the boundaries of Bethlehem to include nearby Muslim villages, and encouraged
Muslims to settle in the city[21]. As a result, the percentage of Christians
rapidly declined.
The Islamic gunmen were also responsible for the rape and murder of two
Christian teenage sisters[22]. The assailants claimed that the sisters had been
murdered because they were “prostitutes” and had been “collaborating” with
Israeli security forces. “The gangsters murdered the two sisters so that they
would not tell anyone about the rape,” said a family member. “Many Christian
families have sent their daughters abroad for fear they would come under attack
by Muslim men.” “Some of the murderers were later killed by the Israeli army,
but others are now living in Europe after they had sought refuge in the Church
of Nativity. It’s absurd that Muslim men who rape and murder Christian girls are
given political asylum in Christian countries like Ireland, Spain and Italy.”
The irony is that the same sexual harassment and rape of non-Muslim women, part
and parcel of Jihad, is now spreading to cities in Western Europe[23] with many
Muslim immigrants[24].
Professor Weiner, Scholar in Residence at the Jerusalem Center for Public
Affairs, provides an in-depth look[25] into the nearly uninterrupted persecution
of Christians throughout the decade since the Oslo peace process began. The
Christians have shrunk to less than 1.7 percent of the population in the
Palestinian areas. “Tens of thousands have abandoned their holy sites and
ancestral properties to live abroad, while those who remain do so as a
beleaguered and dwindling minority,” Weiner said. “Their plight is, in part,
attributable to the adoption of Muslim religious law (sharia) in the
constitution of the Palestinian Authority. Moreover, the Christians have been
abandoned by their religious leaders who, instead of protecting them, have
chosen to curry favor with the Palestinian leadership.”
More than 500 Muslim men, chanting Allahu akbar, attacked the Christian village
of Taiba[26] east of Ramallah. “They poured kerosene on many buildings and set
them on fire. Many of the attackers broke into houses and stole furniture,
jewelry and electrical appliances,” said one resident. The attack was triggered
by the murder of a Muslim woman from the nearby village of Deir Jarir. Her
family forced her to drink poison for having had a romance with a Christian man
from Taiba. Muslim men can marry Christian women, but Islamic law forbids Muslim
women from marrying Christian men. The Christian community was thus collectively
punished because it was rumoured that one of their members had breached the
rules of dhimmitude.
In a meeting attended by Robert Spencer, former Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky
noted[27] that Israel had again and again aided Christians – at their own
request – against Islamic violence and injustice, most notably when the Church
of the Nativity was occupied by Jihadists in 2002. Yet international Christian
leaders, he said, have not responded with similar gestures toward Israel. He is
right. While Christians are persecuted on a daily basis in Muslim nations and
may soon be wiped out in the Holy Land, Christian organisations in the West are
too frequently engaged in “dialogue” with Muslims and demonisation of Israel.
Christians need to realise that they have much more in common with other
non-Muslims, not just Jews, but Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Atheists, than they
will ever have with Muslims. Jussi Halla-Aho, running for parliament in Finland
as an independent candidate, has come to some of the same conclusions[28] as I
have regarding the Leftist-Islamic cooperation in many Western nations: The Left
milks the working natives to maintain a predominantly idle immigrant population,
who thankfully vote for the Left. The welfare state society thus has to support
two parasites, each living in a symbiotic relationship with the other. This will
eventually cause the system to collapse. Why would anyone support a policy that
leads to certain destruction? Well, because a career politician never sets his
sights 20, 50 or 100 years to the future but instead focuses on the next
election. The short-term focus of our democratic system can thus, combined with
Muslim immigration, turn into a fatal flaw.
But Halla-Aho asks an even more important question: “Why do the voters let all
this happen? It is because Westerners like to be ‘good’ people and believe that
their fellow men are equally good people. It is because they have humane
values.” “It is because the moral and ethical values of Western man have made
him helpless in the face of wickedness and immorality.”
Our Western “moral and ethical values” are profoundly influenced by
Judeo-Christian thinking. Will our openness to outsiders, our democratic system
and our Christian compassion, precisely the values that we cherish the most,
render the West incapable of withstanding Jihad? A good Christian has to turn
the other cheek and love his enemies. How are we to reconcile this with the
reality that Muslims regard this as a sign of weakness? And how can we fight
sharia when bishops and church leaders are the first to call for a
“compassionate” immigration policy that allows masses of Muslims to settle here?
Christians argue that Europe’s problem is a cultural vacuum[29] created by the
retreat of church attendance and Christianity as a religion, which has paved the
way for Islam to enter. They have a point, as I have shown before. But some
Christian groups are opening the West to Islam, too, and the secular state
doesn’t have to be insipid and toothless. Far from it, it was secular states
that fought and defeated the Fascist regimes during WW2 and risked the
destruction of the planet in the Cold War. The non-religious authorities in
China are far more ruthless in crushing any Islamic aggression than most
Christian countries are. Of course, the downside is that they are far more
ruthless in crushing anything deemed to be a potential challenge to their power.
Luckily, not all Christian leaders are appeasers of Islam. One of the
intelligent ones comes from Australia, a country that has been fairly resistant
to Political Correctness. They have taken serious steps towards actually
enforcing their own borders, despite the predictable outcries from various NGOs
and anti-racists, and Prime Minister John Howard has repeatedly proven to be one
of the most sensible leaders in the Western world. George Cardinal Pell[30],
Archbishop of Sydney, tells of how September 11 was a wake-up call for him
personally[31]:
“I recognised that I had to know more about Islam.” “In my own reading of the
Koran, I began to note down invocations to violence. There are so many of them,
however, that I abandoned this exercise after 50 or 60 or 70 pages.” “The
predominant grammatical form in which jihad is used in the Koran carries the
sense of fighting or waging war.” “Considered strictly on its own terms, Islam
is not a tolerant religion and its capacity for fear-reaching renovation is
severely limited.” “I’d also say that Islam is a much more war-like culture than
Christianity.” “I’ve had it asserted to me is that in the relationship between
the Islamic and non-Islamic world, the normal thing is a situation of tension if
not war, or outright hostility.”
Pope Benedict XVI, nicknamed “God’s rottweiler” as a cardinal, seems to embody
elements of both the sensible and the silly Christian ways of dealing with the
Islamic threat. Although Benedict has stressed the need for “reciprocity” in
Christian-Muslim relations and urged Islamic countries to ensure religious
rights for Christian migrants, he has also said that Christians should continue
welcoming Muslim immigrants[32] with open arms.
It caused an uproar in the Islamic world when Benedict XVI, as a part of a
longer dissertation, quoted a 14th century Byzantine emperor’s hostile view[33]
of Islam’s founder: “Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there
you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the
sword the faith he preached.” Benedict later said he was “deeply sorry” for the
reaction to his comments on Islam and that the quote he used from the medieval
text about holy wars did not reflect his personal thoughts. Although this
technically constitutes a non-apology apology and was deemed “unsatisfactory” by
Muslims, many anti-Jihadists would have preferred the Pope to use the
opportunity to make a clearer stand against Islamic aggression.
Still, his comments raised public debate about the issue, and certainly marked
progress compared to his predecessor Pope John Paul II, who kissed the Koran in
public in an effort to reach out to Muslims.
I have described examples of incredible stupidity and appeasement from
Christians in the West, but also of courage and clarity of mind in standing up
to Islamic aggression and defending Western civilisation and the world from
sharia. The ideological civil war within the West is not just between
secularists and religious people; it runs straight through the Church itself.
Christians need to understand that there can be no peace or understanding with
the Islamic world. They want to subdue us, pure and simple. Church leaders of
all denominations, Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, must stop stabbing Israel in
the back and campaigning for a de facto open borders policy while Muslims are
threatening to swamp our lands. Yes, Christianity teaches compassion, but it
also teaches identifying evil and standing up to it. At the end of the day, the
Church must decide whether, in the defence of civilisation, it wants to be a
part of the problem or a part of the solution.

By Fjordman
As a non-religious person, but still one that acknowledges and respects the
impact of Judeo-Christian thinking on Western culture, I have warned against
naive Christian compassion[1] related to Muslim immigration, as well as a
disturbing tendency among too many Christian organisations to ally themselves
with Muslims, for "religious values" and against Israel. But frankly, the most
useful allies Muslims have in the West more often than not tend to be found
among the non-religious crowd.
A number of executives and star presenters at the British Broadcasting
Corporation admitted what critics already knew: The BBC[2] is dominated by
Left-leaning liberals who are anti-American and biased against Christianity, but
sensitive to the feelings of Muslims. Former BBC business editor Jeff Randall
said he complained to a very senior news executive about the BBC's
pro-Multicultural stance, but was given the reply: "The BBC is not neutral in
multiculturalism: it believes in it and it promotes it."
The anti-Christian element seems to be a trait shared by Multiculturalists in
all Western countries. Thomas Hylland Eriksen[3] is a professor of social
anthropology at the University of Oslo. He has written many books and is a
frequent contributor of newspaper essays. He is also leading a major project for
studying the Multicultural society in Norway.
Hylland Eriksen has proclaimed the death of nations as if he took pleasure in
it, and has stated that the Nidaros Cathedral (Nidarosdomen), the most
significant church in the country, should no longer serve as a national symbol
in our Multicultural society. Mr. Eriksen has recently clashed[4] with two
brothers named Anfindsen, who run the bilingual website HonestThinking.org.
According to[5] Hylland Eriksen, "Cosmopolites insist on a world comprising of
more colours than black and white. In such a world, the problems presented by
Ole-Jørgen Anfindsen are not just petty, but irrelevant."
What are the problems presented by Mr. Anfindsen? Well, he has published numbers
indicating that if the current immigration continues, native Norwegians will be
a minority in their own country within a couple of generations. And a large
proportion of the new population will be Muslims.
Given the fact that ethnic groups who become minorities in their own lands
usually have a hard time, and virtually always get persecuted when the newcomers
are Muslims, one would assume that this would be interesting information. But
for self-proclaimed "Multicultural cosmopolites" such as Thomas Hylland Eriksen,
it is "petty and irrelevant" to even consider that this could represent a
problem.
Eriksen calls Anfindsen "stupid and ignorant," and hints that "Maybe Anfindsen's
agenda is inspired by a kind of perverted Christianity (he has a Christian
background)."
"He has a Christian background." Is that supposed to be an insult, and
disqualify a person from worrying about whether his grandchildren will be
persecuted? In a newspaper essay co-authored by Eriksen, he states that: "Is he
[Anfindsen] asking us to once again repeat the obvious in that the murder of
Theo van Gogh, various acts of terrorism and death threats against newspaper
editors have nothing to do with Islam?"
Nothing to do with Islam? Really?
Mohammed Bouyeri[6], born in Amsterdam of Moroccan parents, killed Theo van Gogh
as he was cycling in Amsterdam on Nov. 2, 2004, shooting and stabbing before
slashing his throat and pinning a note to his body with a knife. "I did what I
did purely out my beliefs," he told judges while clutching a Koran[7]. "I want
you to know that I acted out of conviction and not that I took his life because
he was Dutch or because I was Moroccan," but because he believed van Gogh
insulted Islam in his film criticising the treatment of Muslim women.
So a peaceful Christian is accused of having a dark, secret agenda, while a
Muslim murderer who brags openly about his Islamic motivations has nothing to do
with Islam? Needless to say, Mr. Hylland Eriksen is also rather anti-Israeli.
Christians and Jews are bad, Muslims are "misunderstood." This confirms my
thesis that Political Correctness is a hate ideology[8] disguised as
"tolerance." It is based upon hate against anything considered Western and a
desire to eradicate this.
The First Commandment of multiculturalism is: Thou shalt hate Christianity and
Judaism. Multiculturalists also hate nation states, and they even hate the
Enlightenment, by insisting that non-Western cultures should be above scrutiny.
It is sometimes claimed that Islam is a "European" or Western religion.
Ironically, we can test this by using "cosmopolitan Multiculturalists" such as
Mr. Hylland Eriksen. They hate everything that's seen as Western and they like
Islam, precisely because it's anti-Western.
Is religion a necessary component of society? Catholic historian Christopher
Dawson wrote in his book "Progress and religion" from 1929:
"It is the religious impulse which supplies the cohesive force which unifies a
society and a culture. The great civilisations of the world do not produce the
great religions as a kind of cultural by-product; in a very real sense the great
religions are the foundations on which the great civilisations rest. A society
which has lost its religion becomes sooner or later a society which has lost its
culture"
Alexis de Tocqueville, the French 19th-century political thinker, stated in
Democracy in America[9]:
"Religion in America takes no direct part in the government of society, but it
must be regarded as the first of their political institutions; for if it does
not impart a taste for freedom, it facilitates the use of it. Indeed, it is in
this same point of view that the inhabitants of the United States themselves
look upon religious belief. I do not know whether all Americans have a sincere
faith in their religion – for who can search the human heart? – but I am certain
that they hold it to be indispensable to the maintenance of republican
institutions."
Lee Harris[10] is the author of Civilisation and Its Enemies and The Suicide of
Reason. According to him, Christian Europe was a fusion of diverse elements: The
Hebrew tradition, Christianity, the Roman genius for law and the Germanic
barbarians' love of freedom, among others. What created the communities of
reasonable men that eventually made modern reason possible? This was the
question taken up by Johann Herder:
"What were the necessary conditions of the European Enlightenment? What kind of
culture was necessary in order to produce a critical thinker like Immanuel Kant
himself? When Kant, in his Critique of Pure Reason, methodically demolished all
the traditional proofs for the existence of God, why wasn't he torn limb from
limb in the streets of Königsburg by outraged believers, instead of being hailed
as one of the greatest philosophers of all time?"
For Herder, modern scientific reason was the product of European cultures of
reason, the world-historical encounter between Biblical faith and Greek
philosophical inquiry, "with the subsequent addition of the Roman heritage."
The 19th-century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer was an atheist. Yet
according to him, it was the Christian idea of God that permitted Europeans to
believe that the universe was a rational cosmos.
As Harris points out, "Human beings will have their gods--and modern reason
cannot alter this. Can even the most committed atheist be completely indifferent
to the imaginary gods that the other members of his community continue to
worship?"
And if modern reason required a pre-existing community of reasonable men before
it could emerge in the West, maybe modern reason "must recognise that its own
existence and survival demand both an ethical postulate and a religious
postulate. The ethical postulate is: Do whatever is possible to create a
community of reasonable men who abstain from violence, and who prefer to use
reason. The religious postulate is: If you are given a choice between religions,
always prefer the religion that is most conducive to creating a community of
reasonable men, even if you don't believe
in it yourself."
According to Theodore Dalrymple[11], the underlying problem in Western Europe in
particular is a lack of purpose, which gives rise to a large amount of social
pathology:
"Quite a large proportion of the population does not derive any self-respect
from having to work for a living because some people are no better off if they
work than if they do not work [due to the welfare state]." They "do not feel
they belong to any larger project than their private lives. (…) I am not myself
religious. However, I am not anti-religious. I am pro-religion provided that it
is not theocratic, so long as there is still a division between church and
state."
Dalrymple also believes[12] that "Discipline without freedom leads to misery,
but freedom without discipline leads to chaos, shallowness, and misery of
another kind," alluding to the total lack of freedom in Islam, but also to the
seeming lack of direction in the West.
I agree with Harris and Dalrymple: As long as there is separation between
religion and state, those of us who don't have any religious belief should
prefer religions which tend to create reasonable and prosperous communities. Our
traditional Judeo-Christian religions have proven this capability. Islam never
has, and probably never will. As Australia's Cardinal George Pell[13] says,
"some seculars are so deeply anti-Christian, that anyone opposed to Christianity
is seen as their ally. That could be one of the most spectacularly disastrous
miscalculations in history."
Indeed it
could. Maybe if Western Multiculturalists get their will, and Islam does conquer
parts of the West, they will discover that the new religion is infinitely worse
than the old one. Of course, by then it will be too late.

Most commentators understand ‘Politics’ as the pursuit of power within a given
relationship. Politics it is said is the art of this world, and the science of
society, Robert Hutchins defined politics as: ‘the architectonic science, which
determines what shall be studied in the state.’ For us politics shall be as
David Martin explains: ‘the arena within which authority, violence, cohesion,
and the maintenance of boundaries are conspicuously at play’. ‘Religion’ is
understood by most commentators as being a generic term referring to ways of
life other than the Liberal Modern, such as, ‘Christianity’ and ‘Islam’ et
cetera. However, as we have discussed earlier, ‘religion’, is a practice within
the much larger worldview of Christianity. As Christianity is a way of life, and
life involves power relationships, Christianity is at once a political way of
life. One can not separate out ones politics from ones faith and beliefs, they
are intertwined as ones beliefs effects ones politics. Thus, within the
Christian worldview, there is no separation of ‘Christianity’ and ‘politics’, as
distinct spheres, ‘politics’ is but another sphere of the way of life that is
Christianity. Politics is subsumed within Christianity.
Within Christian political thought there has been traditionally a distinction,
if not a separation, of the institution of the state and the institution of the
church. Ironically, this distinction Liberal Secular Democracies inherited from
a Christian political entity called ‘Christianitas,’ more commonly known as
Christendom. The distinction was made to safe guard the institutional church
from being interfered with by the kings, (and other leading members of the
laity) in its appointment of Bishops and clergy. The idea of ‘secular’ and
‘religious’, referred to the power of the king and bishops in their respective
spheres and execution of duties, one concerned with the temporal and profane,
the other with the spiritual and sacred. The church to bring men to salvation,
and the state to create Christian peace, order and justice: the best environment
in which the church can perform its task. The state had the extra role of
defending the church from pagans, infidels, heathens and helping to suppress
heretics. (Much like Liberal Modernity suppresses Nazism, Radical Islam,
Communism, Dictators, Despots, and let’s not forget Christianity, when these
ideologies take root in a society and it is no longer in its best interest to
support them!) There are various Christian political theories which outline how
the state and the church should relate; just to list some of them. (I should
note that the explanation that I am about to give has in it an ecumenical
reading, which one may not see looking at these formulations within their
particular historical context) there is idea of:
Concordat: where the state and the church as two separate entities agree
boundaries between the two and separate spheres of responsibility. This assumes
the state is willing to recognise the church in some way but is not necessarily
Christian.
Erastianism: where it is postulated that if everyone in a given society is
Christian then the state should control the church. This assumes a completely
Christianised society.
Establishment: this is where within a given state the church is given preference
above that of other faiths, though they may be tolerated to some degree. This
assumes a context of some diversity in matters of beliefs.
Symphony: Where the leaders of the state and the leaders of the church and state
submit to one another in matters regarding their distinct spheres, one with the
salvation of the soul and the other with regards to the running of secular
affairs. This assumes a Christian society.
Caesero-Papism: Where a Christian monarch rules the state in matters of
religious organisation as he rules in matters of secular organisation, though
this is not to do with matters of faith but rather structure. This assumes at
least a Christian monarch.
Christendom: Where the state and the church work jointly to govern society in
there separate spheres but where the church takes a lead in the direction of
secular affairs including governments.
We should note however that these approaches are more concerned with the idea of
how the institution of the church and the institution of the state should
relate, they each assume a predominantly Christian society with the exception of
concordat which assumes at best an ambivalent state.
Our discussion however will begin at a slightly different nuance concerned with
Christian politics, identity and a Christian political agenda in a modern world,
which is a subtly different discussion to ones with which the above are
concerned. It begins with the assumption of ‘the one ecumenical catholic church
militant’ in the setting of a non-Christian world or post Christian world with
varying degrees of hostility to its existence.
Christianity has increasingly become perceived as being linked by some, to a
bygone culture, having already lost its political direction, cohesion, and
influence. The wall that both Martin Luther and Thomas Jefferson spoke of has
switched, in modern times it is no longer a means by which the Church defends
its rights and position over the state, as in pre-modern times, but rather how
the state increases its power over the Church. Historically there have always
been tensions between the powers secular and the powers religious, which in
times gone by through the prides of men resulted in out right conflict between
the two; however, with the emergence of the modern secular state and its
incumbent ‘ideology of reason’. This ‘wall’, has become the means via which the
state has secured power away from the church and is challenging the identity of
Christians as well. Attacking our beliefs and values and presenting modern
liberal alternatives in short all that makes us who we are as Christians by
presenting alternatives with the assumption that these alternatives are better
and the polemical engagement of the ‘enlightenment’ elite. The Liberal Moderns
command the heights of the wall. This process is called differentiation: where
the state, driven by the ‘ideology of reason’, ‘the religion of humanity’, or
more simply - Liberal Modernity, seized what were once church roles. This forced
conversion of society has pushed the Christian faith back into a metaphysical
box, where some argued it would die an irrelevant death. Such as speculated by
Marx and others, and assumed by Nietzche!
Clearly for Christianity to be authentically political, it must attempt to set
the paradigm in which politics plays its self out. Contexts are all important,
for what is a left wing cause among the Aymora of Bolivia, is a right wing cause
among the Greeks of Albania. What we have seen in modern times is the slow
erosion by enlightenment militia, upon Christianity’s presence in the structures
of power that mould the paradigm of culture and society. Christians must reclaim
the commanding heights of media, parliaments, councils, business and
governmental authority. They must storm the walls between church and state and
remove all traces of Liberal Modernity. They must do so from an authentically
Christian narrative and worldview.
Christian political thought therefore cannot concede that the secular realm
should have been, should be or should remain, in the hands of a godless
ideology. Within a Christian political framework, however, it is so conceived
(and there are a variety of opinions; some listed earlier) that both the secular
and religious realms were supposed to be filled with Christians and Christian
thought working together for the good of all. Christianity then is highly
political, and political actions themselves are subject to the service of God,
in the form of political devotion, much like religious devotion or spiritual
devotion.
“When Christians enter politics they have a long and rich tradition upon which
to draw, but their influence lies not in the authority of that tradition, but on
the efficacy of the programmes and solutions they propose.”
Christians need to fashion a more robust Christian culture and community, rather
than allowing themselves to be assimilated into the world around them. Where the
church merely takes its cues from wider culture it ends up being the puppet of
the state; much like the Dutch Reformed church of South Africa through the
apartheid. When it has a strong sense of its own identity it can speak both
authentically and clearly for its own political values and agenda!
Christianity however, goes further, it transforms the very understanding of
politics, for politics is never about domination, it is about service. Liberal
Democratic political culture is thankfully influenced by this Christian
imperative, even though its view of what is the ‘common good’ is seriously in
need of refinement. The ‘common good’ must be measured in how one is brought
towards or away from relationship with the living God, this should be the end of
goal of all branches of government from economics right through to foreign
policy. The present end goal of Liberal Modern states is how each person and
community can be grafted into the economy, this is what is interpreted as being
the common good. However, this suffers from an ideological blind spot that has
been the bane of Liberal Modernity from the outset. Humans are more than
material beings! A Christian state would be more balanced in its approach to the
material and spiritual needs of its citizens; contrary to the extreme
materialism fashioned by Liberal Modernity. For example the truth and
reconciliation commissions that are now working in South Africa, El Salvador,
Rwanda, Northern Ireland, and has even been imported into Bosnia, as a means of
reconciling countries with a history of division; accepting the non material
solutions to real problems faced in society.
Christians then must commit themselves to the struggle of bringing to bear every
political framework to perfect submission under God! One is pained however, to
dispel any illusions that this translates into forcing anyone to become
Christian, no more than our present Liberal Modern society would accept that it
forces people to become materialist consumers; people will be free to opt out of
the main stream of Christian culture. Within Christian political thought one
leads by serving, one does not lead to serve or lead to be served. This is an
important distinction, in societies where leaders, lead to be served, we often
see horrific abuses of power, such as with Stalin, Hitler, and Saddam.
Leadership based around the notion to serve, we have seen, has a tendency to see
it despoiled by disingenuous politicians, or by those who have an idea to serve
their own interested parties. We see that in most politicians in most modern
democracies. However, a leader in a Christian society becomes a leader because
he/she is already serving the people before he/she receives any authority,
his/she record is established long before he/she find themselves in political
office. Corrosive social attitudes cultivated through notions of ‘celebrity
culture’ would be undermined; they would in due course become retarded. It would
be in doctors, nurses, servicemen, priests and pastors, community workers and
the like, that society would find its heroes, not in trivial actors, singers,
and sports figures. A Christian society would value holiness, learning and
communal service above that of selfish self-gain and self-promotion.
Christian political thought is not bound to any one system of government, it is
not innately dictatorial or democratic, whether there is rule of law or rule of
power; Christian political thought can exist in many political realities.
However, no matter the political system: electoral, oligarchy, totalitarian,
confederacy or federation, republican or monarchical; one thing that remains is
the idea that in some way government is firstly accountable to the revealed will
of God. By whatever system of accountability employed, the government of
whatever nature, is held accountable by the Christian militant, in how it
subscribes to the cause of God in terms of the needs of The Kingdom. Also its
service rendered to the servants of Christ in the pursuit of their call to
holiness and the fulfilment of the ‘Great Commission’ . In this respect all
truly Christian political systems are innately Theocratic; in that they seek to
allow God to rule. Christian commentators have suggested various ways that this
could be done via human agency, in keeping with apostolic authority, or through
acting upon the clear writ of scripture as interpreted by those of sufficient
training. Alas, no matter the medium used, the aim is the same, to make real the
revealed will of God on earth. This requires the Church and State to work in
unison.
However, some may argue that this is impossible, that men can not bring about
God’s kingdom here on earth, alas, they miss the point - we do not need to, The
Lord Christ did this two thousand years ago, this would merely be and expression
of The Kingdom on earth. It would be no more perfect than our present
democracies are perfect (to their own principles), and God knows they are not
perfect! Democracies constantly fail to reflect the true will of the people, by
their very nature they can not; however, they attempt to reflect the will of the
people, though in actual fact, this tends to be the will of the rich and better
off! In the same way, Christian theocracies can not hope to reflect perfectly
God’s will, but would attempt to reflect God’s will on earth.
Now some, let’s call them ‘drama queens’, immediately draw parallels to Islamic
or medieval theocracies , seemingly forgetting that we are neither in the middle
ages nor are we Islamic. Societies reflect their gods and as Islam reflects a
god of ‘will’ in the Shari’ah, and Liberal Modernity reflects a god of mammon in
Capitalism, a Christian state reflects a God of love in theocracy. Should we
dismiss a form of government for its past errors then we should dismiss all
forms of governments and become anarchistic, for none are without their
mistakes, and none have been perfect! However, only one can claim to be a priori
and deontologically correct, and that is a Christian theocracy. Liberal Modern
relativistic arguments have no bearing due to their own laughable
inconsistencies, as it claims that ‘all truth claims are relative’, except this
most relative of all claims to truth; by which it seeks to govern all others!
However, one hardly believes that the ‘irreligious’ will be ‘equally willing to
accept the prescription of non establishment’ , that prescription only exists
for those unlike themselves. It is one rule for the Christians and another rule
for the Liberal Moderns!
Further more, Christian politics is not confined to any nation state; it is
‘internationalist’, within the present context of the world. It recognises no
border, or authority above that of its King. Therefore, where there is a single
Christian being persecuted it is the concern of every Christian to come to
his/her assistance by every justifiable means including, but not
necessarily…war! Much like Liberal Modern states believe that it is their right
to wage war on those that offend their concept of ‘human rights’. So it is the
right and duty of Christians to wage war on those that blaspheme our God and
persecute our brethren.
The silence of a politically impotent church in the west with regards to its
brethren around the world is staggering – and quite telling of its spiritual
state. The humiliations and abuses of the persecuted church are too many to
list, and are a denigration of their Christian dignity. Only if the persecuted
Christians lift themselves out of their state as persecuted will they be able to
live in dignity. This calls them and us to their liberation and the usurpation
of the status quo. The persecuted church should not depend upon western imported
theologies that justify their persecution, but instead fashion a theology that
begins with the articulation of their own experience as persecuted Christians.
We should understand the Church’s identity not through dogmatic preaching, but
through the historical reality of the persecuted church. Persecution of
Christians and oppression of Christianity is contrary to the will of God. Thus,
‘the universal and global church on earth’ should enter into solidarity with
persecuted Christians wherever they are found. The church should centre its
life, not around sacraments, or dogmas, (though these should never be done away
with), but on the experiences and the cause of the martyred, and the oppressed,
and suffering Christian. Christians should come together and study and support
one another in tackling persecution and oppression of Christians. Theology
should be rooted in the experiences of the persecuted.

I’ve chosen to include the following essay as it shows how extreme
egalitarianism (extreme equality) rots a society from within. In our quest to
appease everyone we are destroying the principles, doctrines and cultures that
made us exceptional in the first place. Our traditional rather cynical and
Spartan values, which resulted in that Europe became the cradle of civilisation,
have been allowed to develop into excessive decadence.
By Brett Stevens
The hardest thing about being a small hominid is that you run the risk, at any
moment, of screwing up and getting killed — and unlike other monkeys, you’re
aware of it any time a symbol of death or error comes up.
For this reason, most of human history has dealt with conflict resolution and
ways to get people going in different directions to work together. It makes us
feel good to think we’re banishing conflict because then we feel as if we’re
safe from that conflict making us the one who screws up and gets killed.
But over the years, we go from “conflict resolution” to “conflict avoidance,”
meaning that we no longer seek working solutions, but to stop the fighting. We
assume the fighting is the source of the disagreement, and not the other way
around, as would be sane.
Nature, unlike humans, does not think in blocking single linear categories at a
time, so when we suppress conflict, we don’t eliminate it — we just squeeeeze it
into another realm. If we can’t fight with fists, we’ll fight in the courts, or
in the ballot box, or just be snippy with each other.
Passive aggression, the mentality created, arises from a desire to avoid
conflict while a need to fight still exists. If I’m seen doing something
combative, I get in trouble; so I try to provoke, needle, backstab, corrupt,
etc. in order that I can destroy without seeming to destroy, and get the other
guy to be the one who lashes out and gets clobbered by the other monkeys who
just want the fighting to end.
All of these ideas are taboo because they cut through our pleasant illusion
about ourselves, which is that we’re not half-monkeys who rose a few sigma and
now are able to use tools but not fully manage our affairs. We like to think of
ourselves as gods who intend each of our actions as a benevolent gift to others;
the reality is that we’re snarling feral animals who’ve found a way to cloak our
aggression in politeness, bureaucracy and a pernicious herd morality.
Tom Wolfe and Mike Gazzaniga explore this passive aggression through a
reasonable measurement, which is social status. Status is how you feel you rank
relative to your neighbours, and it can be either material or moral. Material is
whether their BMW is as cool as yours; moral is whether they’re educated,
enlightened, progressive people who donate eyeglasses to the Bonobo like you:
TW: Every time we go into a room with other people, it’s as if we have a
teleprompter in front of us and it’s telling us the history of ourselves versus
these people. We can’t even think of thinking without this huge library of good
information and bad information.
MG: When you get up in the morning, you do not think about triangles and squares
and these similes that psychologists have been using for the past 100 years.
You think about status. You think about where you are in relation to your peers.
You’re thinking about your spouse, about your kids, about your boss. Ninety-nine
percent of your time is spent thinking about other people’s thoughts about you,
their intentions, and all this kind of stuff.
Forum: Tom Wolfe and Michael Gazzaniga
For the last 2,000 years our preferred method of neutralising conflict has been
to insist on equality.
First, it was insisted that we were all equal in civic duty, so should get a
vote.
Then, it was insisted that we were all equal in the eyes of God, as we all had
souls.
A thousand years later, we upgraded that to the idea that we were all equal
citizens in potential, so we should have no limits of role or money.
None of these have worked, because in reality — that physically-convergent world
out there — we are not all equal, and in fact, nothing in life is. (Most parts
of reality consist of unevenly distributed values in a type of “standard
distribution,” Poisson distribution or the easily recognised “Bell Curve” with a
few at top, a few at the bottom, and most on a graceful convex in the middle.)
When we cannot recognise our inequality, and cannot accept conflict, we are
ruled by our fears. In turn, we create a society that because it orients itself
around avoiding these fears, sublimates its fear.
The result is the “crab mentality,” after the tendency of crabs in a bucket to
crawl to the top, in which we compete for social favor. This creates a pleasant
surface notion of equality and an underlying truth of constant covert conflict.
In addition, in order to preserve our good social standing, we insist on
equality in defiance of the facts, and by making equality such an assumption, we
oblige ourselves to tolerate incompetence. That in turn puts us in a society
that is forever dysfunctional and frustrating, but no one wants to be the first
to admit they are un-polite and un-sociable and don’t believe in equality.
In turn that gets us this:
New research from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University
explores why powerful people – many of whom take a moral high ground – don’t
practice what they preach.
The research finds that power makes people stricter in moral judgment of others
– while being less strict of their own behaviour.
“According to our research, power and influence can cause a severe disconnect
between public judgment and private behaviour, and as a result, the powerful are
stricter in their judgment of others while being more lenient toward their own
actions,” he continued.
Science Daily
This public/private split occurs any time we insist on pretending an unrealistic
thought is real, more real than reality even since we use it to manipulate each
other. In public, we must kowtow to the dogma; in private, we have to get things
done and/or become violently self-assertive.
The cost of equality is that we throw out all truthfulness in order to seem like
nice people to each other.
It arises from our fear of evolving to the next stage, which would naturally
occur from our most capable people, because we’re afraid of personally being
left behind — just as we’re afraid of having a lower place in the current crab
bucket of society.
As a result, instead of looking toward the future, we look toward the past — we
look backward, and try to divide up what exists, instead of making an even
better vision of our world.
Those who are most afraid become “activists” who go around telling us that it
costs us nothing to demand equality and suppress conflict, but then there are
millions of details like this:
In 2002, civil lawsuits cost the U.S. economy a reeling $233 billion. With the
rise of civil lawsuits over the last half a century, each American citizen is
now estimated to pay a “lawsuit tax” of anywhere between $700 and $800 a year
(27 September 2004 US Fed News). According to Secretary of Commerce Don Evans,
if you take the total cost of tort claims and judgments in the United States and
divide it by the number of citizens in the country, a tort tax of about $809 per
capita results (15 December 2004 White House Press Releases And Documents).
What’s more, lawsuit costs represented about 2 percent of the US Gross Domestic
Product, over $250 billion. Of this, the manufacturing sector bears a
disproportionate share of that, at 4.5 percent. (15 December 2004 White House
Press Releases And Documents). And costs are rising, with a reported 5.4%
increase in the cost of civil lawsuits from 2002 to 2003 (1 September 2005
Design Firm Management & Administration Report).
Inside Prison
Allow no conflict, and people will take it to the courts, which will lead to
irrational animal conflict costing millions. How could that happen?
Imagine the other variables we could add:
•
People driving slowly taking up to an additional half-hour of your time every
day, for no reason other than their own incompetence. Add that up over the
course of a year and think what you could have done with that time.
•
Incompetents and dullards on the job must be tolerated, so every concept gets
divided into bite-size pieces, and soon you’re sitting through two-hour meetings
where five minutes among equals would have sufficed.
•
Dumb people have no idea their actions have consequences, so they litter, commit
crimes, vandalise, or simply break things you might like to use.
•
Look at all the areas of our cities that are no-fly zones because they’re
inhabited by people without a clue who ruin their own homes, riot, commit
crimes, and so on. What else could we do with that land?
•
Fools are a politician’s best friend because they are easily manipulated. Since
we cannot call them fools, and make them unequal because they have rights,
they’re there for any corrupt manipulator to promise them the sky — in exchange
for more power of course.
Do we need to go on? These people are taking you for a ride. You have one life
and only a certain amount of time in it, but that time is being taken away,
passively, to support incompetents!
You go along with it because you’re afraid. The idea of universal equality and
rights sounds good to us because we’re afraid as a group. If you the individual
speak out against it, the others may gang up and you and clobber you — for
denying their denial of reality.
The guilt and passive aggression that manipulates you has a huge cost, but all
the people who are afraid that they might be incompetent are going to insist on
it, even if it means that society as a whole moves like a person encased in
lead, always pandering to the weakest link in the chain.
The individuals around you are thinking like the crabs in the bucket: they want
to claw above you by appearing more egalitarian, more progressive, more
compassionate than you. They don’t care about the results of their actions.
They’re just trying to get more popular.
There are two real victims here: civilisation itself, which stops rising to a
challenge and starts collapsing inward; and yourself, because your time is
wasted and all of those resources of time, money and energy you could have
applied to something constructive are taken away.
It’s a reversal of evolution. Instead of seeking to get better, and when we find
something better spreading it around, we’re trying to avoid anything better
because it might make us look bad.
And they’re going to waste your life by slowing everyone down to the speed of
that weakest link in the chain.
The following article suggests on means of helping us past this difficult point
in — not history, but evolution itself — through psychological conditioning:
A recent study led by Phelps found that reminding people of the fearful stimuli,
minus any fear-inducing event, shortly before the extinction session can
effectively block the first memory. The finding could help improve therapies for
overcoming fear.
The mechanism for the initial memory’s defeat could be that the initial quick
reminder induces the amygdala to store new information, Phelps explains. The
window during which the amygdala is “open” is fleeting, however, and could
explain why the reminder shown 10 minutes, but not six hours, before the first
extinction session, eradicated fear. As Phelps notes, relearning a memory, also
known as reconsolidation, takes place much faster, within several minutes, than
learning the memory for the first time, or consolidation.
Scientific American
You’re afraid of social trauma, which is when you do something and other people
make fun of you for it and exclude you, if not outright beat you with sticks.
In the past, you’ve accidentally said things that violated a social taboo, and
people have swooped in en masse to tell you how wrong you are. They may have
summoned a priest, some scientific studies of dubious scope, or the opinions of
your favourite Hollywood stars. They’re telling you that no matter what you see
in reality, they are the ones to define official truth — and hilariously, if you
disagree, they’ll claim you are redefining “commonly accepted” truth!
You can see the public/private split here. In public, we’re using opinions and
logic and science. In private, we’re animals struggling against each other for
power, and the cudgels we wield are disguised as opinions and logic and science.
With the above type of conditioning, and it wouldn’t take much, we could
re-organise our people. We should have public rallies where each participant
steps out and says, “You know, we’re not all equal and we can’t pander to the
weakest link in the chain just so we seem nicer than our neighbours.”
And in the presence of others of our community, we watch as nothing happens. No
pain. No nasty commentary. No cudgels. We learn instead to trust our own
observations of reality as it is, and stop projecting these social falsehoods
onto it just so we can climb a little higher in the social status game.
Japan’s and South Korea’s post-World War II forty-year economic growth surge
without immigration has always been an embarrassment to the immigration and
multiculturalism enthusiasts. In 1990, the then-Designated Enthusiast Economist
Julian Simon was reduced to admitting: "How Japan gets along I don't know. But
we may have to recognise that some countries are
unique in their characteristics."
Western Europe have had a long and close friendship with these countries post
WW2. They have not initialised media campaigns portraying these countries as
Nazis, boycotted them economically or threatened them with invasion if they
don’t start implementing multiculturalism. It’s therefore quite contradictory to
how Western Europe ridicule, harass and persecute any and all individuals and
groups in their own countries who support monoculturalism.
Japan and multiculturalism
Japanese society, with its ideology of homogenity, has opposed multiculturalism
which has been adopted by Western Europe and the US.
Japan accepted just 16 refugees in 1999, while the United States took in 85,010
for resettlement, according to the UNHCR. New Zealand, which is smaller than
Japan, accepted 1,140 refugees in 1999. Just 305 persons were recognised as
refugees by Japan from 1981, when Japan ratified the U.N. Convention Relating to
the Status of Refugees, to 2002.

South Korea and multiculturalism
South Korea is among the world's most ethnically homogeneous nations. Like Japah
and Taiwan, South Korea rejects the doctrine of multiculturalism. Most Koreans
tend to equate nationality or citizenship with membership in a single,
homogeneous ethnic group sharing the same "blood" and history. A common language
and culture are also viewed as important elements in Korean identity.
The idea of multiracial or multiethnic nations, like Canada or the United
States, is opposed in general and strikes many Koreans as odd or even
contradictory.

China, Africa, the Islamic world and multiculturalism
The European cultural Marxists/multiculturalists often directly or indirectly
claim that everyone opposing multiculturalism are racists, fascists and Nazis.
So according to their logic China, Africa and the Islamic world are all Nazi
regimes as they never implemented multiculturalism. As of now, ONLY European
countries (US, Canada, Aussie included) and a few Hindu and Buddhist countries
are actual multiculturalist regimes (India, Thailand Phillipines and a couple
more). So why the double standards? Why do they only use the fascist/Nazi
bashing rhetoric to paralyze all attempts of resistance in European nations and
against patriotic groups and individuals? The answer is discussed thoroughly in
this compendium. The phenomenon is called the self loathing complex also
referred to as “European guilt” in combination with the Marxist goal of
destroying the European, Christian, straight man. One of the primary beliefs of
many Marxists is that everything European is a cancer in the world that has to
be exterminated. According to their logic; Europeans are the cause of all the
evil in the world so they must exterminate all Europeans (deconstruct the
European majority) in order to be able to create the Marxist utopia of eternal
peace and harmony.
Africa, China and the Islamic world
China is a monocultural country, just like African nations and a majority of
countries in the Islamic world. Everyone who has travelled and lived in Africa
knows that all African nations, with the exception of perhaps South Africa, are
monocultural nations and they are very racist towards all Europeans. I have
personally experienced overwhelming discrimination from the first second I set
my foot in Kenya, Côte d'Ivoire and Liberia. And you really don’t have to travel
to African nations to comprehend this as it is a widely known truth. Talk to ANY
European visitor to Africa and ask if he would want to settle there with his
family and the answer would be “no”. This is primarily due to discrimination.
The same can be said about China and the Islamic world. While a significant
number of citizens in Islamic or Muslim countries are directly hostile to
Europeans, Chinese are usually just after your money. It is unbearable to live
the rest of your life in a country where there is a constant and an overwhelming
danger of being “Shanghaied”. My stepmother was the Norwegian Vice Counsul in
Shanghai and I know several Europeans working there. They are willing to “cope”
for the duration of their company term, as the pay is good, but they would never
settle there permanently with their families. I remember when I was in Shanghai
a few years ago. During my three week stay I had more than 10 people asking me
to take a photograph with them. Apparently, the Nordic appearance is a
relatively rare sight, especially for rural Chinese visiting the big cities
during their vacation. While this can be a charming and even a flattering
experience, having a mob of people constantly glaring at you all day long is a
psychological burden. An example is when I went to Mc Donalds with my friend,
Xun. He is a Norwegian Chinese btw and he was my partner at one point, in Oslo,
when I day traded actively. He taught me advanced Chinese candlestick/MACD
strategies in relation to stock analysis. Anyway, at Mc Donalds as with
anywhere, it is not likely that you will enjoy your meal when you have 50
Chinese constantly glaring at you. During my stay in Shanghai there were 5
attempts to Shanghai me (they target Europeans), one was unfortunately
successful (30 Euro demanded for a simple 1 Euro dish).
As for China on a state level, they actively use demographical warfare against
Tibet and areas populated by Muslim Uyghurs. China is a monocultural country,
just like African nations and a majority of countries in the Islamic world.
By Fjordman
Currently, the democratic system is in my view not working properly in any
Western country. It is more or less dead in Western Europe, where most of the
real power has been transferred to the unelected organs of the European Union,
anyway. Virtually all Western countries have lost control over their borders.
This is not a sustainable situation. You can call your political system a
democracy, a dictatorship, a republic, a monarchy or whatever you want, but a
country that does not control its territory will eventually die. It's
inevitable.
The situation is made worse by the fact that globalisation of transportation has
put severe pressure on our nations in a manner which was unthinkable only a few
decades ago. When the first Christian Gospels were written down at the end of
the first century AD, the population of the Roman Empire was about 60 million
people. This mirrors the annual global population growth in the early
twenty-first century. In other words: The global population grows by another
Roman Empire every single year. Our system wasn't designed for such numbers. It
needs fundamental change, or it will soon collapse into civil wars or
dictatorships or both. We also have a situation where some left-wing parties in
particular deliberately import Muslims and others because they vote
overwhelmingly for left-wing parties. A political system where it pays to import
enemies obviously isn't sustainable.
When I criticise democracy, this should not be taken as an indication that I
believe in elitist rule. I criticise it because it clearly doesn't automatically
ensure freedom of speech and security for life and property, which is the
hallmark of true liberty. Another problem is that it isn't always the best
system for long-term decisions because people tend to prefer short-term gains. I
still believe, however, that there should be a powerful element of real public
influence, to curtail the potential for absolute rulers and abuse of power. We
have clearly veered too far in the direction of the latter with the EU, where
the ruling elites have skillfully eliminated any constraints on their power.
The democratic system has significant flaws, but it worked to some extent as
long as there was sense of being a demos, a people with a shared identity and
common interests. What we are witnessing now is the gradual breakdown of this
demos, starting from the top down. Powerful groups frequently have more in
common with the elites in other countries than they have with the average
citizen in their own. If you no longer believe in your nation as a real entity
with a specific culture, it simply becomes a tool for obtaining power, a
stepping stone for your global career. Without a pre-political loyalty,
emotional ties or even a pragmatic interest in supporting nation states, the
democratic system becomes a vehicle for distributing favors to your friends at
home and abroad, for fleecing the voters while in power and hopefully ensuring a
lucrative international career along the way. You will have few moral
inhibitions against importing voters from abroad for maintaining power or
because your business buddies who give you financial support desire it. This
process is related to technological globalisation, but it has gone further in
the self-loathing West than in any other civilisation.
Average citizens who still identify with their nation states thus keep electing
people who betray their trust. Since the elites identify little with the nations
they are supposed to serve, more power to them will only make matters worse, as
it already has in Europe. Corrupt and incompetent individuals will always exist.
If you get a corrupt leader every now and then you are dealing with a flawed
individual. If you constantly, again and again, get corrupt leaders you are
dealing with a flawed system. Our political system is now deeply flawed. The
problem is that I cannot easily see how to fix it.
The most important thing to realise is that democracy is a tool, a means we use
to achieve an end. Too many people now confuse it with the end itself.
"Democracy" has come to mean something that is good, something everybody wants,
a bit like sex or chocolate. But there is no rational reason to assume that
democracy of universal suffrage is uniformly good and can be applied with equal
success in all circumstances, a huge mistake Americans made in Iraq.
Any political system must first and foremost ensure the survival, the continued
physical existence, of the community it serves. After that comes ensuring the
prosperity and liberty of this community in the best possible way. However, when
I look at the situation in Western countries today, I cannot see that democracy
always ensures our liberty or prosperity, and in many cases it functions so
poorly that it threatens our very survival. Perhaps in order to ensure our
continued existence, we need to supplement democracy with other tools in our
toolkit.

The German author Henryk M. Broder recently told the Dutch newspaper De
Volkskrant (12 October) that young Europeans who love freedom, better emigrate.
Europe as we know it will no longer exist 20 years from now. Whilst sitting on a
terrace in Berlin, Broder pointed to the other customers and the passers-by and
said melancholically: “We are watching the world of yesterday.”
Broder is convinced that the Europeans are not willing to oppose Islamisation.
“The dominant ethos,” he told De Volkskrant, “is perfectly voiced by the stupid
blonde woman author with whom I recently debated. She said that it is sometimes
better to let yourself be raped than to risk serious injuries while resisting.
She said it is sometimes better to avoid fighting than run the risk of death.”
Europe
is turning Muslim. As Broder is sixty years old he is not going to emigrate
himself. “I am too old,” he said. However, he urged young people to get out and
“move to Australia or New Zealand. That is the only option they have if they
want to avoid the plagues that will turn the old continent uninhabitable.”
Many Germans and Dutch, apparently, did not wait for Broder’s advice. The number
of emigrants leaving the Netherlands and Germany has already surpassed the
number of immigrants moving in. One does not have to be prophetic to predict,
like Henryk Broder, that Europe is becoming Islamic. Just consider the
demographics. The number of Muslims in contemporary Europe is estimated to be 50
million. It is expected to double in twenty years. By 2025, one third of all
European children will be born to Muslim families. Today Mohammed is already the
most popular name for new-born boys in Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and other
major European cities.
Broder is convinced that the Europeans are not willing to oppose Islamisation.
“The dominant ethos,” he told De Volkskrant, “is perfectly voiced by the stupid
blonde woman author with whom I recently debated. She said that it is sometimes
better to let yourself be raped than to risk serious injuries while resisting.
She said it is sometimes better to avoid fighting than run the risk of death.”
In a recent op-ed piece in the Brussels newspaper De Standaard (23 October) the
Dutch (gay and self-declared “humanist”) author Oscar Van den Boogaard refers to
Broder’s interview. Van den Boogaard says that to him coping with the
Islamisation of Europe is like “a process of mourning.” He is overwhelmed by a
“feeling of sadness.” “I am not a warrior,” he says, “but who is? I have never
learned to fight for my freedom. I was only good at enjoying it.”
As Tom Bethell wrote in this month’s American Spectator: “Just at the most basic
level of demography the secular-humanist option is not working.” But there is
more to it than the fact that non-religious people tend not to have as many
children as religious people, because many of them prefer to “enjoy” freedom
rather than renounce it for the sake of children. Secularists, it seems to me,
are also less keen on fighting. Since they do not believe in an afterlife, this
life is the only thing they have to lose. Hence they will rather accept
submission than fight. Like the German feminist Broder referred to, they prefer
to be raped than to resist.
“If faith collapses, civilisation goes with it,” says Bethell. That is the real
cause of the closing of civilisation in Europe. Islamisation is simply the
consequence. The very word Islam means “submission” and the secularists have
submitted already. Many Europeans have already become Muslims, though they do
not realise it or do not want to admit it.
Some of the people I meet in the U.S. are particularly worried about the rise of
anti-Semitism in Europe. They are correct when they fear that anti-Semitism is
also on the rise among non-immigrant Europeans. The latter hate people with a
fighting spirit. Contemporary anti-Semitism in Europe (at least when coming from
native Europeans) is related to anti-Americanism. People who are not prepared to
resist and are eager to submit, hate others who do not want to submit and are
prepared to fight. They hate them because they are afraid that the latter will
endanger their lives as well. In their view everyone must submit.
This is why they have come to hate Israel and America so much, and the small
band of European “islamophobes” who dare to talk about what they see happening
around them. West Europeans have to choose between submission (islam) or death.
I fear, like Broder, that they have chosen submission – just like in former days
when they preferred to be red rather than dead.

By Fjordman
“If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are
not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the
intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.
We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate
the intolerant.”
Karl Popper
How should we respond to the threats our civilisation is facing? First of all,
ordinary citizens should arm themselves immediately since crime and violence is
spreading fast throughout the Western world. Second, we need to reclaim pride in
our heritage, which has been systematically taken away from us in recent
generations, and restore a proper teaching of this in our education system. We
should assume that the mass media and our leaders are not telling us the full
truth about the scale and consequences of Muslim immigration.
We are told that the ongoing mass immigration from alien cultures is “good for
the economy.” This is demonstrably false and resembles the “Big Lie” technique
employed by the Nazis. Even if it were true, I would still reject this argument.
I am not willing to give up our existence as a people and the heritage entrusted
upon me by my ancestors in the hypothetical hope that doing so will earn me a
few chocolate bars or electronic toys, of which we already have plenty. The
notion that man is homo economicus, the economic man, nothing more than the sum
of his functions as a worker and consumer, is widely shared by both left-wingers
and many right-wingers. It is one of the most destructive ideologies of our time
and needs to be defeated while there is still something left of European
civilisation to preserve.
One “anti-Jihadist” in Scandinavia once indicated that it was OK with a Muslim
majority in Europe as long as these Muslims respect “human rights.” They won’t,
of course, but that’s not the point. The “debate” we have is thus between those
who believe we should accept unlimited mass immigration and those who believe we
should accept unlimited mass immigration as long as those who replace us believe
in “human rights,” where the former groups views the latter as “racists.” At no
point is there any debate of whether native Europeans have the right to preserve
our cultures and historical identities.
Globalism is the enemy within which needs to be defeated. Globalism does not
refer to the impersonal forces of technological globalisation (although
committed Globalists like to pretend that it does, because this makes their
ideological program seem “inevitable”), but to a Utopian ideology stating that
erasing all national cultures and states (especially Western ones) is a positive
good which should be promoted and forced down people’s throats. Opposition to
this undertaking should be banned as “discrimination,” “racism,” “extremism” and
“nationalism” (the terms are used as synonyms).
I’ve engaged in long discussions as to whether or not our current weakness is
caused by deeper-lying, structural flaws in our civilisation or whether it is
promoted by certain powerful groups with a dangerous agenda. My answer is that
it is both. The ideology of Globalism is indeed promoted by certain elite groups
much more than by the average citizen, and these ideas are enforced from above.
This is happening all over the Western world, but it is particularly dangerous
in Western Europe because of the legislative powers of the European Union and
its non-elected oligarchy.
Although Leftists tend to be more aggressive, perhaps the dividing line in the
internal struggle in the West is less between Left and Right and more between
those who value national sovereignty and European culture and those who do not.
Upholding national borders has become more important in the age of
globalisation, not less. We need to reclaim control over our borders and reject
any organisation, either the EU, the UN, various human rights groups or others
who prevent us from doing this. We must remind our political leaders that we pay
national taxes because they are supposed to uphold our national borders. If they
can’t do so, the social contract is breached, and we should no longer be
required to pay our taxes. National taxes, national borders could become a new
rallying cry.
There are both left-wing and right-wing Globalists. They have different agendas,
for instance with left-wing Globalists putting emphasis on silencing free speech
and promoting “international law” through the United Nations and similar
organisations, while right-wing Globalists concentrate more on the free flow of
people across borders, just as they want free flow of goods and capital across
borders. The Presidential election campaign in the USA in 2008 between Obama and
McCain is a race between a left-wing and a right-wing Globalist. Both want open
borders, if only for slightly different reasons, and tend to think of countries
as ideas, not as entities populated by distinct peoples with shared values and a
common history.
An ideological “war within the West” has paved the way for a physical “war
against the West” waged by Islamic Jihadists, who correctly view our acceptance
of Muslim immigration as a sign of weakness. Perhaps we will need to resolve the
war within the West before we can win the war against the West. When Europeans
such as Polish king Jan III Sobieski led their troops to victory over the Turks
in the 1683 Battle of Vienna, they fought for a number of things: Their country,
their culture and their religion. People don’t just need to live; they need
something to live for, and fight for.
We are against Islam. What are we for? I would suggest that one thing we should
fight for is national sovereignty and the right to preserve our culture and pass
it on to future generations. We are fighting for the right to define our own
laws and national policies, not to be held hostage by the United Nations,
unaccountable NGOs, transnational progressives or self-appointed guardians of
the truth.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the West is the sick man of the world. We
provide our sworn enemies with the technology and medicine to multiply, give
them the transportation and legal rights to move to our countries (after showing
them through TV and movies how much better life is in our part of the world). On
top of this, we pay them to colonise our countries and harass our children,
while our leaders ban opposition to this as intolerance, discrimination and
racism. When did the West stop thinking? Where did we go wrong? Here is the
answer an American friend of mine gave:
“Well, there’s Marxism of course, which was extremely damaging in all its forms.
There were the two world wars which killed so many of our people and caused a
lack of cultural confidence. Then there was the Pax Americana and the
unprecedented safety and affluence it brought to the Western World. We have now
had two generations of Westerners, almost three, who have never known real
poverty, hunger, war, or ‘the knock on the door in the middle of the night.’
Without a need for survival skills, we had the time and the money to focus on
ever-more insane political and cultural ideologies…I think I remember reading
something about how the Indian Hindu empires became ripe for conquest by Islam —
‘They focused on becoming good, instead of remaining powerful.’ I can’t remember
the source on that though. But that’s what we are now — obsessing about how to
be good, not on being powerful. And our ‘goodness’ isn’t worth much if the rest
of the world is focused on becoming powerful. Also, you have to remember, a lot
of people are making money out of these insane ideologies. The ‘diversity’
industry in the U.S. is worth billions — people with little skills or ability
are being given comfy well-paid jobs because of it.. And because of
anti-discrimination laws, every organisation, whether for profit or not, must
have a ‘diversity’ plan to point to if they ever get sued for ‘discrimination.’
It’s literally a recession-proof captive industry. Anyways we’re sick and the
whole world knows it. They are coming here to feed off our sickness.”
The West is rapidly declining as a percentage of world population and in danger
of being overwhelmed by immigration from poorer countries with booming
populations. People of European origins need to adjust our self-image
correspondingly and ditch the current ideology of deranged altruism. We are not
all-powerful and are not in a position to help everybody in developing countries
out of poverty, certainly not by allowing them to move here. We need to develop
a new mental paradigm dedicated to our own survival.
We should take a break from mass immigration in general. Any future immigration
needs to be strictly controlled and exclusively non-Muslim. This break should be
used to demonstrate clearly that the West will no longer serve as the dumping
ground for excess population growth in other countries. We have cultures that
we’d like to preserve, too, and cannot and should not be expected to accept
unlimited number of migrants from other countries.
In my view, the best way to deal with the Islamic world is to have as little to
do with it as possible. We should completely stop and if necessary ban Muslim
immigration. This could be done in creative and indirect ways, such as banning
immigration from nations with citizens known to be engaged in terrorist
activities. We should remove all Muslim non-citizens currently in the West and
change our laws to ensure that Muslim citizens who advocate sharia, preach
Jihad, the inequality of “infidels” and of women should have their citizenship
revoked and be deported back to their country of origin.
We need to create an environment where the practice of Islam is made difficult.
Much of this can be done in non-discriminatory ways, by simply refusing to allow
special pleading to Muslims. Do not allow the Islamic public call to prayer as
it is offensive to other faiths. Boys and girls should take part in all sporting
and social activities of the school and the community. The veil should be banned
in all public institutions, thus contributing to breaking the traditional
subjugation of women. Companies and public buildings should not be forced to
build prayer rooms for Muslims. Enact laws to eliminate the abuse of family
reunification laws. Do not permit major investments by Muslims in Western media
or universities.
American columnist Diana West[1] wants us to shift from a pro-democracy
offensive to an anti-sharia defensive. Calling this a “War on Terror” as
President George W. Bush did in 2001 was a mistake. Baron Bodissey of the Gates
of Vienna blog has suggested the slogan “Take Back the Culture,” thus focusing
on our internal struggle for traditional European culture.
People should be educated about the realities of Jihad and sharia. Educating
non-Muslims about Islam is more important than educating Muslims, but we should
do both. Groups of dedicated individuals should engage in efforts to explain the
real nature of Islam, emphasising the division that Islam teaches between
Believer and Infidel, the permanent state of war between Dar al-Islam and Dar
al-Harb and the use of taqiyya and kitman, religious deception.
As Hugh Fitzgerald of Jihad Watch[2] says, we should explain why Islam
encourages despotism (because allegiance is owed the ruler as long as he is a
Muslim), economic paralysis, intellectual failure (the cult of authority, the
hostility to free and skeptical inquiry) in Islamic countries. Let Muslims
themselves begin slowly to understand that all of their political, economic,
social, intellectual, and moral failures are a result of Islamic teachings.
Fitzgerald also suggests exploiting the many fissures within the Islamic world:
Divide and conquer. Divide and demoralise. Islam has universalist claims but it
talks about Arabs as the “best of peoples,” and has been a vehicle for Arab
supremacy, to promote Arab conquest of wealthier non-Arab populations. In
addition to divisions between Arabs and non-Arab Muslims, we have the sectarian
divide between Shias and Sunnis, and the economic division between the
fabulously rich oil-and-natural-gas Arab states and the poor Muslim countries.
Both the sectarian and economic divisions within Islam are best exploited by
infidels doing nothing. If the Western world stops giving Egypt, Pakistan,
Jordan, and the Palestinians “aid,” which has in reality become a disguised form
of jizya, this will clear the psychological air. And it will force the poorer
Arabs and other Muslims to go to the rich Arabs for support.
Right now, Muslims can enjoy the best of both worlds, and follow primitive
religious laws while enjoying the fruits of 21st century civilisation. We need
to drive home the utter failure of the Islamic model by making sure that Muslims
should no longer able to count on permanent Western or infidel aid in their
overpopulated, self-primitivised states, whose very unviability they are
prevented from recognising by this constant infusion of aid.
We need to deprive Muslims as much as possible of Western jizya in other forms,
which means ending foreign aid, but also institute a Manhattan Project for
alternative sources of energy, in order to become independent of Arab oil.
As Mr. Fitzgerald asks[3] : “What would the rich Arabs do if the Western world
decided to seize their property in the West as the assets of enemy aliens, just
as was done to the property owned not only by the German government, but by
individual Germans, during World War II? And what would they do if they were to
be permanently deprived of easy access to Western medical care?”
We must reject the “You turn into what you fight” argument. Those who fought the
Nazis didn’t become Nazis during the Second World War. The truth is, we will
become like Muslims if we don’t stand up to them and keep them out of our
countries, otherwise they will subdue us and Islamise us by force. The West
isn’t feared because we are “oppressors,” we are despised because we are
perceived as weak and decadent. Jihadist websites have said that China[4] is not
the enemy at the moment. China, too, is an infidel enemy, but Muslims respect
the Chinese more than Western nations. We can live with having enemies. The
important thing is making sure that our enemies respect us, as Machiavelli
indicated in The Prince.
We should implement a policy of containment of the Islamic world, but for this
to work we will sometimes have to take military action to crush Muslim
pretensions to grandeur. The Buddhists of Central Asia undoubtedly held the
“moral high ground” in relations to Muslims. They are all dead now. At the very
least, we must be prepared to back up our ideological defences with force on
certain occasions.
Several objections could be raised against the containment option. Some claim
that it is too harsh and thus won’t be implemented; others say that it is
insufficient and won’t work in the long run. It’s true that in the current
political climate, expulsion of sharia-sponsoring Muslims isn’t going to happen,
but the current ruling paradigm won’t last. It is likely that we will get civil
wars in several Western countries because of the ongoing mass immigration. This
will finally demonstrate how serious the situation is and force other Western
nations to act.
I have heard comments that it isn’t practically doable to contain the Islamic
world behind some artificial Maginot Line. When the Mongols could simply go
around the Great Wall of China in the thirteenth century, it will be impossible
to contain anybody in an age of modern communication technology. No, it won’t be
easy, but we should at least try. Containment isn’t necessarily the only thing
we need to do, just the very minimum that is acceptable. Perhaps the spread of
nuclear technology will indeed trigger a large-scale war with the Islamic world
at some point. The only way to prevent this is to take steps, including military
ones, to deprive Muslims of dangerous technology. Jihad is waged by military,
political, financial, demographic and diplomatic means. The defence against
Jihad has to be equally diverse.
In the post What Can We Do?[5], Gates of Vienna republished an essay by reader
Westerner which was originally posted at American writer Lawrence Auster’s
website. Westerner argues that the separationist policy[6] proposed by Auster
and others of rolling back, containing, and using military force to quarantine
Muslims would not be sufficient to make the non-Islamic world safe, because
Islamic regimes would still exist and continue to seek ways to harm us. He
therefore proposes a policy aimed at crushing Islam. Nevertheless, my general
policy recommendation is to advocate separation and containment. The crucial
point is to stress that Islam cannot be reformed and cannot be reconciled with
our way of life.
According to blogger Conservative Swede, “In fact it is easier to argue for a
stop of ALL immigration, to the general public, than a specific stop of Muslim
immigration (maybe not in America, but surely in Sweden and the rest of Europe).
People simply know very little about Islam. They need to be educated first, and
already that is a big effort. So this is the first step. Before this has been
achieved, before the awareness about the true face of Islam is firmly
represented among the general public, it becomes pointless to push for
deportation of all Muslims at the arenas directed at the general public. The
first and current step is about educating people about Islam.” He puts emphasis
on the need for breaking the spirit of our Jihadist enemies and finding ways of
symbolically defeat them.
I have been criticised because my talk about containment and the need to limit
even non-Muslim immigration smacks of the siege mentality of a friendless West.
Advocating a policy of much stricter immigration control in general isn’t based
on isolationism, it’s based on realism. We’re in the middle of the largest
migration waves in human history. The simple fact is that far more people want
to live in the West than we can possibly let in. Technology has made it easier
for people to settle in other countries, and easier for them to stay in touch
with their original homeland as if they never left. We have to deal with this
fact by slowing the immigration rates to assimilation levels; otherwise our
societies will eventually break down.
I’m advocating isolation of the Islamic world, not of the West. Even if we
cannot allow all non-Muslims to freely settle in our lands, this does not mean
that they have to be our enemies. Jihad is being waged against the entire
non-Muslim world, not just the West. We should stop trying to “win the hearts
and minds” of Muslims instead cooperate with other non-Muslims.
The United Nations[7] is heavily infiltrated by Islamic groups. We should starve
it for funds and ridicule it at any given opportunity. As an alternative to the
UN, we could create an organisation where only democratic states could become
members. The most important principle at this point is to contain the Islamic
world. We simply cannot allow our enemies to have influence over our policies,
which they do through the UN.
Europeans need to totally dismantle the European Union and regain national
control over our borders and legislation. The EU is so deeply flawed and
infiltrated by pro-Islamic thinking that it simply cannot be reformed. No, the
EU isn’t the only problem we have, but it is the worst, and we can’t fix our
other problems as long as the EU is in charge. And let’s end the stupid support
for the Palestinians that the Eurabians have encouraged and start supporting our
cultural cousin, Israel. Europe’s first line of defence starts in Jerusalem.
Europeans should adopt legislation similar to the First and Second Amendments in
the American Bill of Rights, securing the right to free speech and gun
ownership. The reason why European authorities are becoming increasingly
totalitarian in their censorship efforts is to conceal the fact that they are no
longer willing or able to uphold even the most basic security of their
citizenry, far less our national borders.
We need to ditch the welfare state[8], which is probably doomed anyway. The
welfare state wasn’t all bad, but it cannot compete in a world of billions of
capitalists in low-cost countries. It creates a false sense of security in a
dog-eat-dog world and breeds a passivity that is very dangerous in our struggle
for survival. We should use the money to strengthen our border controls and
rebuild credible militaries.. Western Europeans have lived under Pax Americana
for so long that we have forgotten how to defend ourselves. This needs to
change, and soon.
I recently read the book The Shock Doctrine[9] by the prominent left-wing
intellectual Naomi Klein. That is, I made an attempt to read it. I gave up after
a few chapters. Klein talks about how clean slate ideologies are dangerous, and
mentions in passing some crimes committed by the Soviet regime and the criticism
which followed its collapse. Then she says:
The process has sparked heated debate around the world about how many of these
atrocities stemmed from the ideology invoked, as opposed to its distortion by
adherents like Stalin, Ceausescu, Mao and Pol Pot. ‘It was flesh-and-blood
Communism that imposed wholesale repression, culminating in a state-sponsored
reign of terror,’ writes Stéphane Courtois, co-author of the contentious Black
Book of Communism[10]. ‘Is the ideology itself blameless?’ Of course it is not.
It doesn’t follow that all forms of Communism are inherently genocidal, as some
have gleefully claimed, but it was certainly an interpretation of Communist
theory that was doctrinaire, authoritarian, and contemptuous of pluralism that
led to Stalin’s purges and to Mao’s re-education camps. Authoritarian Communism
is, and should be, forever tainted by those real-world laboratories. But what of
the contemporary crusade to liberate world markets?
Klein claims that not all forms of market systems have to be inherently violent.
They can leave room for free health care, too. She condemns “authoritarian
interpretations” of Communism, but not necessarily Communism as such. Exactly
where we can find examples of non-authoritarian Communism she doesn’t say.
That’s as far as self-criticism has progressed in the political Left a
generation after we “defeated” Socialism.
The economist Milton Friedman, along with F. Hayek, is one of the villains of
Naomi Klein’s book. According to her, Friedman has stated that “only a crisis —
actual or perceived — produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions
that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is
our basic function: to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them
alive and available until the politically impossible becomes politically
inevitable.” Friedman believes that during a crisis, we only have a brief window
of opportunity before society slips back into the “tyranny of the status quo,”
and that we need to use this opportunity or lose it.
This is actually sound advice and in my view the strategy Western survivalists
should follow. When I first started writing as Fjordman I focused on how to “fix
the system.” I’ve gradually come to the conclusion that the system cannot be
fixed. Not only does it have too many enemies; it also contains too many
internal contradictions. If we define the “system” as mass immigration from
alien cultures, Globalism, multiculturalism and suppression of free speech in
the name of “tolerance,” then this is going to collapse. It’s inevitable.
The goal of European and Western survivalists — and that’s what we are, it is
our very survival that is at stake — should not be to “fix the system,” but to
be mentally and physically prepared for its collapse, and to develop coherent
answers to what went wrong and prepare to implement the necessary remedies when
the time comes. We need to seize the window of opportunity, and in order to do
so, we need to define clearly what we want to achieve. What went wrong with our
civilisation, and how can we survive and hopefully regenerate, despite being an
increasingly vulnerable minority in an often hostile world?
I have suggested that we never won the Cold War as decisively as we should have
done. The enemy has been regrouping and now largely controls our media and
educational institutions less than a generation after the fall of the Berlin
Wall. We did not have public trials against the supporters of Marxism just as we
did against Nazism. This was a serious mistake which we should not repeat again.
If or when the European Union collapses and multiculturalism is defeated, we
need to stage public trials against the creators of Eurabia and denounce the
lies continuously told by our media and academia. Their ideology needs to be
exposed as evil.
The political elites implement the agendas of our enemies and ignore the
interests of their own people. They are collaborators and should be treated
accordingly. The problem is that they currently feel quite comfortable and
secure. They fear the reactions of Muslims, but despise their own people. They
view us as sheep, existing only to provide them with champagne and nice cars and
to be guinea pigs in their grandiose social experiments. Change will only come
when they fear us, and the consequences of their own betrayal, more than they
fear Muslims.
People of European origins can gain a future by reclaiming our past, and end the
hostility to our civilisation and heritage which is too often taught in our
education system today. We need to reject those who demonise us simply because
we desire self-determination. In order to achieve this, we need to regain
control over our national borders and legislation, and we need to reclaim
control over the media. Those who control the media, control society.
It is easy to blame others, but we have to accept responsibility for our
situation. Yes, we have indeed been betrayed by our leaders, but that’s still
only part of the problem. People tend to get the governments they deserve. Maybe
we get weak leaders because we are weak, or because they can exploit weaknesses
in our mentality to get us where they want to; above all anti-Americanism,
anti-Semitism, our excessive desire for consensus and suppression of dissent,
the anti-individualistic legacy from Socialism and the passivity bred by welfare
state bureaucracy. Muslims are stuck with their problems and corrupt leaders and
blame everybody else for their own failures because they can never admit they
are caused by deep flaws in their culture.. We shouldn’t make the same mistake.
Europeans export wine; Arabs export whine. That’s the way it should be.
In his book The River War published in 1899, Winston Churchill wrote about the
cursed effects of Mohammedanism (which is what Islam really is):
The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems
of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist
wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism
deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and
sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as
his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the
final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great
power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities — but the
influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow
it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund,
Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytising faith. It has already spread
throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it
not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science
against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might
fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.
This description remains right today. Nevertheless, bad as it is, Islam isn’t
the cause of our current weakness; it is a secondary infection. In addition to
plain decadence, there is a widespread feeling in much of Europe that nothing is
worth fighting for, certainly not through armed struggle. There are no Great
Truths, everything is equal. Maybe Europe’s faith in itself died in Auschwitz,
but it was severely wounded in the trenches of the First World War. It was WW1
that radicalised Europe, triggered the Russian Revolution and the rise of Soviet
Communism, and filled Germany, including a young corporal named Adolf Hitler,
with a desire for vengeance and much of the ammunition they needed for their
rise to power in the 1930s.
I have heard claims that European civilisation will not survive the twenty-first
century. A century is a very long time, we should remember that. Would anybody
(except a Churchill) in the early twentieth century, when Europe was strong and
powerful, have predicted that Europe would now be in the process of being
overpowered by Algerians and Pakistanis? Things change. They can change for the
worse, but they can also change for the better. Our ancestors, better men and
women than we are, held the line against Islam for more than one thousand years,
sacrificing their blood for the continent. By doing so, they not only preserved
the European heartland and thus Western civilisation itself, but quite possibly
the world in general from unchallenged Islamic dominance. The stakes involved
now are no less than they were then, possibly even greater.
Some people claim that Europe isn’t worth fighting for, and that many people
here deserve what’s coming. Some of them probably do, yes. The problem is that
the people who deserve most to be punished for the current mess are the ones who
are least likely to pay the price. The creators of Eurabia will be the first to
flee the continent when the going gets tough, leaving those who have hardly
heard of Eurabia and never approved of its creation to fight.
Edmund Burke believed that if a society can be seen as a contract, we must
recognise that most parties to the contract are either dead or not yet born. I
like that idea, which means that when you fight for a country, you don’t just
fight for the ones that are there now, but for those who lived there before and
for those who will live there in the future. If we don’t want to fight for what
Europe is today then let us fight for what it once was, and maybe, just maybe,
for what it may become once more. There was real greatness in this continent
once. It seems a long time ago now, but we can get there again. Meanwhile, let
us work to ensure the survival of European civilisation, which is now very much
in question.

By Fjordman
I have tried to contribute to a new vocabulary by coining the word
“Caucasophobia[1]” for anti-white racism, and have suggested the term
“self-termination[2]” for organised Western self-loathing and the Western policy
of unilaterally dismantling our own culture. Both terms are OK, but if somebody
can come up with something better and more catchy, I’m all ears. One can say
many bad things about the word “Islamophobia,” but it’s easy to understand and
sticks in your mind. If the shariabots can come up with a word like that then
infidels shouldn’t be any less inventive.
We are against Sharia and Jihad, but what are we for? What is Western
civilisation? What exactly sets it apart from others and makes it worth keeping?
If we’re going to defend[3] “freedom” and “Western civilisation,” we need to
define precisely what we are talking about.
I would personally say that the emphasis on the individual is our most defining
trait as a civilisation. Both Muslims and internal collectivists hate our
individualism the most, because it stands in the way of their ideologies. This
is why they go to great lengths to smash it and replace it with group thinking.
However, even our individualism can potentially be carried into such extremes
that it can become a problem. Individuals still need to feel part of something
greater and enduring, or society will be left unable to defend itself.
Another Western trait is a non-fatalistic outlook on the world and a belief in
the ability of individuals to affect their own future, combined with linear
thinking versus circular thinking, a high value placed on rationality versus
emotionalism and last, but not least, curiosity — wanting to know how things
“tick.”
I still remember the first time I read the Koran. I soon discovered how
intolerant it was, but my first impression was actually not that it was violent,
but that it was remarkably incoherent and difficult to read. It’s frequently
self-contradictory, and Allah is portrayed as an unpredictable god. The Bible is
more structured and with a higher literary quality than the Koran, even to a
non-religious person. When European scientists initiated the Scientific
Revolution[4], they assumed that God had made nature according to logical
patterns that could be uncovered and predicted. But Islam, starting out with the
structure of the Koran itself, assumes that there is no pattern, and that nature
is simply subject to Allah’s whims.
I have given detailed explanations to non-Muslims of how Muslims continuously
deceive infidels, but frankly, Muslims even lie to each other. I’ve gradually
come to the conclusion that it’s not so much about lying as about the fact that
truth is irrelevant in Islamic culture, which is why all kinds of ridiculous
conspiracy theories always find an eager audience there. Notice how Pakistani
ex-Muslim Mohammed Rasoel writes in his book The Downfall of the Netherlands —
Land of the Naive Fools[5] how he comes from a culture where people “lie all the
time,” and consider persons who actually say what they think to be gullible
fools.
Needless to say, this is also why Muslims have such a poor track record in
science. Science is about uncovering truth, and if you come from a culture which
holds that truth is irrelevant, you have a huge handicap. That is why the
Scientific Revolution happened in Christian Europe, and not in the Islamic
Middle East.
The sad part is, we are abandoning[6] the scientific method in the West as well.
And it’s not the only instance where we are regressing. Hate crime legislation
constitutes a radical departure from the idea of equality before the law. You
will be punished differently for assaulting a black Muslim than for the same
crime against a white Christian, a Hindu woman or a Jewish woman, a gay man or a
straight man etc. Some would argue that this already happens in real life.
However, the point here is that this principle has now become a formal aspect of
the law. This constitutes a gross perversion of justice. It mirrors Islamic law,
which mandates different punishments for the same crime, depending upon the
religious background and the sex of both the perpetrator and the victim.
Islam has always valued individual life inequitably. But now there is a creeping
tendency within the West toward the same view. In the case of assault or murder,
an additional sentence is added if the act is viewed as a “hate crime.” Murder
is murder, and all human life is to be valued equally. However, according to
multiculturalism we are required to treat all cultures and religions as equally
valid, which they obviously are not. This perversion of reality makes the
Western system of justice vulnerable to infiltration by Islamic law.
The West has traditionally been a rational civilisation.
We now have an emotional culture, which we see clearly in the immigration debate
where emphasis is on whether you “feel good” and whether your “intentions” are
good when you support mass immigration, not on rationally calculating the
long-term consequences of your actions.
Our education system is no longer dedicated to searching
for truth or even recognising the concept that there is such a thing as “truth”
in the first place, only multiple truths, all equally valid. Christian Europe
could stage the Scientific Revolution precisely because it believed in truth and
wanted to uncover truth. Post-Christian, Multicultural Europe no longer believes
in truth, and would thus have been unable to stage the Scientific Revolution.
It is remarkable to notice how effective the
“counter-culture” of the 1960s has been at attacking the pillars of Western
civilisation: Our education system is now used to dismantle our culture, not to
uphold it, and has moved from the Age of Reason to the Age of Deconstruction. We
have thus abandoned the ideal of rationality and objectivity, which used to be
the foundation of our culture.
Our religious heritage as well as the social basis of our
society, the nuclear family, has been under constant attack. Our legal system,
at least in Europe, is moving away from the ideal of laws passed with the
consent of the people and with their best interest in mind into transnational
legislation written by faceless technocrats, with no loyalty to any specific
people. The EU Constitution betrays an almost sharia-like desire to control all
aspects of our lives, instead of upholding law and order and otherwise staying
out of the way.
And finally, we are in the middle of an age where focus
is on “subgroups” within the nation state, not on individuals. The
anti-Westerners have taken great care to break down our religion, our
individualism, our rationalism and finally our connection with the past[7],
to make sure we don’t remember that we ever possessed any of these traits in the
first place. Unfortunately, they have succeeded rather well so far. We are
abandoning what once made us great, and are moving in the direction of Sharia
Lite when it comes to free speech, equality before the law, and lack of
rationalism.
What are we fighting for? We are fighting for freedom of
thought and for freedom of speech, for the right to criticise not just our
government, but all doctrines, political and religious. The fight against hate
speech and hate crime legislation now constitutes a front line in the battle for
liberty.
We are fighting for secular laws passed with the consent
of the people, not sharia nor transnational legislation drafted by bureaucrats
and technocrats unaccountable to the people. We do not want to be held hostage
by international NGOs, transnational progressives or self-appointed guardians of
the truth. Likewise, we are fighting for national sovereignty. No nation
regardless of political system can survive the loss of its territorial
integrity, but democratic states especially so. We pay national taxes because
our authorities are supposed to uphold our national borders. If they can’t do
so, the social contract is breached, and we should no longer be required to pay
our taxes.
We are fighting for equality before the law. Hate crime
legislation is weakening this, by treating people as members of a group,
gay-straight, male-female, black-white etc, instead of as an individual, and
also de facto results in unequal punishment for the same crime.
We are fighting for the right to view a nation as a
cultural unit, not just a random space on a map. A country has the right to
decide how much, if any, immigration it wants to accept. The idea of unlimited
mass migration is 21st century Communism. Man is not just homo economicus,
the economic man, the sum of his functions as labour and consumer, who can be
supplanted from one region of the world to the next at will. Multiculturalism
implicitly means that the native population have to suppress and erase their own
cultural traditions and historical identity. People have the right to want to
preserve their culture and pass it on to future generations.
Finally, I’d like to talk about one aspect of Western
culture that tends to be downplayed, but is quite important: We are the only
culture in the history of mankind to develop realistic, faithful depictions of
beings and matter in our paintings and sculptures, rather than merely stylised
depictions. We are also the only culture to invent a way to depict
three-dimensional subjects in a two-dimensional format. A similar
three-dimensional perspective was lacking in all other types of early art, be
that Chinese or Japanese, East Indian, Mesoamerican, African or Middle Eastern.
This could conceivably be because we have perceived space and spatial
relationships in a different way than the rest of the world. What does that mean
for our culture?
Egyptian art was dedicated to preserving the body for the
afterlife. Artists drew from memory, according to strict rules. The ancient
Egyptians were not Westerners, but they did contribute a lot to those who later
became Westerners, the Greeks and the Romans.
In the brilliant book
The Story of Art, writer E.H.
Gombrich explains this. For an Egyptian artist, “once he had mastered all these
rules he had finished his apprenticeship. No one wanted anything different, no
one asked him to be ‘original’. On the contrary, he was probably considered the
best artist who could make his statues most like the admired monuments of the
past. So it happened that in the course of three thousand years or more Egyptian
art changed very little. Everything that was considered good and beautiful in
the age of the pyramids was held to be just as excellent a thousand years
later.”
There was only one major exception to this, and that was
the heretical Pharaoh Akhenaten in the 14th century BC. The art depicting him
and his wife Nefertiti is quite naturalistic. It is unlike anything before in
Egyptian history, and may have been inspired by that of the Minoan culture on
the island of Crete, by many considered to be the first European civilisation.
Some of this style is still discernible in objects found in the tomb of
Tutankhaten, believed to be son of Akhenaten, who later changed his name to
Tutankhamun as the old religion was reestablished.
Even though the artistic legacy of Akhenaten was quickly
forgotten, his religious ideas may have proven far more durable. His insistence
on worshipping one supreme god, Aten, makes him a pioneer in monotheism. It has
been speculated, though disputed by many scholars, that Akhenaten’s ideas may
have inspired those of Moses, which led to the creation of Judaism and, by
extension, Christianity.
What is less disputed is that the earliest alphabet, the
ancestor of nearly every alphabet used around the globe, including, via
Phoenician, the Greek and the Latin ones, was partly derived from Egyptian
hieroglyphs representing syllables.
Greek artists studied and imitated Egyptian art, but
experimented and decided to look for themselves instead of following any
traditional, ready-made formula. As Gombrich says, “The Greeks began to use
their eyes. Once this revolution had begun, there was no stopping it.” It is
surely no coincidence that this Great Awakening of art to freedom took place in
the hundred years between, roughly, 520 and 420 BC, in Greek city-states such as
Athens where philosopher Socrates challenged our ideas about the world:
“It was here, above all, that the greatest and most
astonishing revolution in the whole history of art bore fruit. (...) The great
revolution of Greek art, the discovery of natural forms and of foreshortening,
happened at the time which is altogether the most amazing period of human
history.” This art was later spread far beyond the borders of Greece, when
Alexander the Great created his empire and brought Hellenistic art to Asia:
“Even in far-distant India, the Roman way of telling a
story, and of glorifying a hero, was adopted by artists who set themselves the
task of illustrating the story of a peaceful conquest, the story of the Buddha.
The art of sculpture had flourished in India long before the Hellenistic
influence reached the country; but it was in the frontier region of Gandhara
that the figure of Buddha was first shown in the reliefs which became the model
for later Buddhist art. (...) Greek and Roman art, which had taught men to
visualise gods and heroes in beautiful form, also helped the Indians to create
an image of their saviour. The beautiful head of the Buddha, with its expression
of deep repose, was also made in this frontier region of Gandhara.”
Buddhism spread from India to the rest of Asia, and
brought with it these influences from Western art. This is highly significant if
we remember that the invention of block printing during the Tang dynasty in
China was intimately linked to Buddhist monasteries and Buddhist art. Alexander
the Great may also have brought with him inked seals to India during his
invasion, and Indian merchants later introduced them to the Chinese. Stamped
figures of the Buddha marked the transition from seal impression to woodcut in
China.
The oldest surviving printed texts from East Asia are
Buddhist scriptures. Printing was thus used to promulgate a specific religion,
just like Gutenberg’s printing press in Europe was later used to print Bibles.
The Islamic Middle East, however, for centuries rejected both the Eastern and
the Western printing traditions due to religious intolerance and hostility
towards pictorial arts. And they suffered all the more for it.

By Fjordman:
The Jihad, the Islamic so-called Holy War, has been a fact of life in Europe,
Asia, Africa and the Near and Middle East for more than 1300 years, but this is
the first history of the Muslim wars in Europe ever to be published. Hundreds of
books, however, have appeared on its Christian counterpart, the Crusades, to
which the Jihad is often compared, although they lasted less than two hundred
years and unlike the Jihad, which is universal, were largely but not completely
confined to the Holy Land. Moreover, the Crusades have been over for more than
700 years, while a Jihad is still going on in the world. The Jihad has been the
most unrecorded and disregarded major event of history. It has, in fact, been
largely ignored. For instance, the Encyclopaedia Britannica gives the Crusades
eighty times more space than the Jihad."
The quote is from Paul Fregosi's book
Jihad in the West[1] from 1998. Mr. Fregosi found that his book about the
history of Islamic Holy War in Europe from the 7th to the 20th centuries was
difficult to get published in the mid-1990s, when publishers had the Salman
Rushdie case in fresh memory.
A few years later, an even more comprehensive book,
The Legacy of Jihad, was published by
Andrew G. Bostom. Bostom has written about what he calls "America's First War on
Terror[2]."
Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, then serving as American ambassadors to France
and Britain, respectively, met in 1786 in London with the Tripolitan Ambassador
to Britain, Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja. These future American presidents were
attempting to negotiate a peace treaty which would spare the United States the
ravages of Jihad piracy – murder and enslavement emanating from the so-called
Barbary States of North Africa, corresponding to modern Morocco, Algeria,
Tunisia, and Libya.
Andrew Bostom notes that "an aggressive
jihad was already being waged against the United States almost 200 years
prior to America becoming a dominant international power in the Middle East."
Israel has thus nothing to do with it.
The Barbary Jihad piracy had been going on since the earliest Arab-Islamic
expansion in the 7th and 8th centuries. Francisco Gabrieli states that:
"According to present-day concepts of international relations, such activities
amounted to piracy, but they correspond perfectly to jihad, an Islamic religious
duty. The conquest of Crete, in the east, and a good portion of the corsair
warfare along the Provencal and Italian coasts, in the West, are among the most
conspicuous instances of such "private initiative" which contributed to Arab
domination in the Mediterranean."
A proto-typical Muslim naval razzia occurred in 846 when a fleet of Arab
Jihadists arrived at the mouth of the Tiber, made their way to Rome, sacked the
city, and carried away from the basilica of St. Peter all of the gold and silver
it contained.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, as many Europeans were captured, sold, and
enslaved by the Barbary corsairs as were West Africans made captive and shipped
for plantation labour in the Americas by European slave traders. Robert Davis'
methodical enumeration indicates that between one, and one and one-quarter
million white European Christians were enslaved by the Barbary Muslims from 1530
through 1780.
White Gold,
Giles Milton's remarkable account of Cornish cabin boy Thomas Pellow, captured
by Barbary corsairs in 1716, documents how Jihad razzias had extended to
England:
[p. 13, "By the end of the dreadful summer of 1625, the mayor of Plymouth
reckoned that 1,000 skiffs had been destroyed, and a similar number of villagers
carried off into slavery"], Wales, southern Ireland [p.16, "In 1631…200 Islamic
soldiers…sailed to the village of Baltimore, storming ashore with swords drawn
and catching the villagers totally by surprise. (They) carried off 237 men,
women, and children and took them to Algiers…The French padre Pierre Dan was in
the city (Algiers) at the time…He witnessed the sale of the captives in the
slave auction. 'It was a pitiful sight to see them exposed in the market…Women
were separated from their husbands and the children from their fathers…on one
side a husband was sold; on the other his wife; and her daughter was torn from
her arms without the hope that they'd ever see each other again'."], and even
Reykjavik, Iceland!
Bostom notes that "By June/July 1815 the ably commanded U.S. naval forces had
dealt their Barbary jihadist adversaries a quick series of crushing defeats.
This success ignited the imagination of the Old World powers to rise up against
the Barbary pirates."
Yet some Arabs seem to miss the good, old days when they could extract Jizya
payments from the West. Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has stated that he thinks
that European nations should pay 10 billion euros ($12.7 billion dollars) a year
to Africa to help it stop migrants seeking a better life flooding northwards
into Europe. He added without elaborating: "Earth belongs to everybody. Why they
(young Africans) emigrated to Europe -- this should be answered by Europeans."
Apart from being a clear-cut example of how migration, or rather population
dumping by Third World countries, has become a tool for blackmail in the 21st
century, this is a throwback to the age when Tripoli could extract payments from
Europe.
Sadly, Americans seem to have forgotten the lessons from this proud chapter in
their history, when they refused to pay ransom to Muslims like the Europeans did
and instead sent warships to the Mediterranean under the slogan "Millions for
defence, not one penny for tribute!" Since WW2, we've had three major conflicts
in the Balkans: In Cyprus, in Bosnia and in Kosovo. On all three occasions, the
United States have interfered on behalf of Muslims. Yet despite this fact, two
of the 9/11 hijackers[3] said that their actions were inspired by an urge to
avenge the suffering of Muslims in Bosnia.
As Efraim Karsh, author of the book
Islamic Imperialism: A History points out, America is[4] reviled in the
Muslim world not because of its specific policies "but because, as the
pre-eminent world power, it blocks the final realisation of this same age-old
dream of a universal Islamic empire (or umma)."
According to Hugh Fitzgerald[5], "One must keep in mind both the way in which
some atrocities ascribed to Serbs were exaggerated, while the atrocities
inflicted on them were minimised or ignored altogether. But what was most
disturbing was that there was no context to anything: nothing about the
centuries of Muslim rule.
Had such a history been discussed early on, Western governments might have
understood and attempted to assuage the deep fears evoked by the Bosnian Muslim
leader, Izetbegovic, when he wrote that he intended to create a Muslim state in
Bosnia and impose the Sharia not merely there, but everywhere that Muslims had
once ruled in the Balkans. Had the Western world shown the slightest intelligent
sympathy or understanding of what that set off in the imagination of many Serbs
(and elsewhere, among the Christians in the Balkans and in Greece), there might
never have been such a violent Serbian reaction, and someone like [Slobodan]
Milosevic might never have obtained power."
In 1809, after the battle on Cegar Hill, by order of Turkish pasha Hurshid the
skulls of the killed Serbian soldiers were built in a tower, Skull Tower, on the
way to Constantinople. 3 metres high, Skull Tower was built out of 952 skulls as
a warning to the Serbian people not to oppose their Muslim rulers. Some years
later, a chapel was built over the skulls.
Similar Jihad massacres were committed not only against the Serbs, but against
the Greeks, the Bulgarians and other non-Muslims who slowly rebelled against the
Ottoman Empire throughout the 19th century. Professor Vahakn Dadrian[6] and
others have clearly identified Jihad as a critical factor in the Armenian
genocide in the early 20th century. This genocide by the Turks allegedly
inspired Adolf Hitler in his Holocaust against the Jews later: "Who, after all,
speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"
As Efraim Karsh[7] notes, "The Ottomans embarked on an orgy of bloodletting in
response to the nationalist aspirations of their European subjects. The Greek
war of independence of the 1820's, the Danubian uprisings of 1848 and the
attendant Crimean war, the Balkan explosion of the 1870's, the Greco-Ottoman war
of 1897--all were painful reminders of the costs of resisting Islamic imperial
rule."
In his book Onward Muslim Soldiers,
Robert Spencer quotes a letter from Bosnia, written in 1860 by the acting
British Consul in Sarajevo, James Zohrab[8]:
"The hatred of the Christians toward the Bosniak Mussulmans is intense. During a
period of nearly 300 years they were subjected to much oppression and cruelty.
For them no other law but the caprice of their masters existed....Oppression
cannot now be carried on as openly as formerly, but it must not be supposed
that, because the Government employés do not generally appear as the oppressors,
the Christians are well treated and protected."
Bosnia's wartime president Alija Izetbegovic died in 2003, hailed worldwide as a
moderate Muslim leader. Little was said in Western media[9] about the fact that
in his 1970 Islamic Declaration, which got him jailed by the Communists in
Yugoslavia, he advocated "a struggle for creating a great Islamic federation
from Morocco to Indonesia, from the tropical Africa to the Central Asia. The
Islamic movement should and must start taking over the power as soon as it is
morally and numerically strong enough to not only overthrow the existing
non-Islamic, but also to build up a new Islamic authority."
Alija Izetbegovic also received money from a Saudi businessman, Yassin al-Kadi,
who has been designated by the United States, the United Nations, and the
European Union as a financier of al-Qaeda terrorists. Evan F. Kohlmann[10],
author of Al-Qaeda's Jihad in Europe: The
Afghan-Bosnian Network, argues that the "key to understanding Al Qaida's
European cells lies in the Bosnian war of the 1990s." In 1992, the Bosnian
Muslim government of Alija Izetbegovic issued a passport in the Vienna embassy
to Osama bin Laden. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2001 that "for the past
10 years, the most senior leaders of al Qaeda have visited the Balkans,
including bin Laden himself on three occasions between 1994 and 1996. The
Egyptian surgeon turned terrorist leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri has operated
terrorist training camps, weapons of mass destruction factories and
money-laundering and drug-trading networks throughout Albania, Kosovo,
Macedonia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Bosnia."
Samuel Huntington mentioned already in 1993 in his famous article "The Clash of
Civilisations" in the journal Foreign Affairs that both the Shi'a Muslims of
Iran and the Sunni Muslims of Saudi Arabia supplied substantial funding, weapons
and men to the Bosnians. Thousands of foreign fighters or 'Mujahadeen' from
Islamic countries came to Bosnia to fight on the side of local Muslims in the
bloody 1992-1995 civil war. Many of these Mujahadeen remained in Bosnia after
the war, and some have been operating terrorist training camps and
indoctrinating local youths.
Terrorists have been working, not just in Bosnia but in Albania and all over the
Balkans, to recruit non-Arab sympathisers — so-called "white Muslims"[11] with
Western features who theoretically could more easily blend into European cities
and execute attacks.
Saudi Arabia is said to have invested more than $1 billion in the Sarajevo
region[12] alone, for projects that include the construction of 158 mosques. The
Islamic world is thus using the Balkans as a launching pad for Jihad against the
rest of Europe and the West. "There are religious centres in Bulgaria[13] that
belong to Islamic groups financed mostly by Saudi Arabian groups," the head of
Bulgarian military intelligence warned. According to him, the centres were in
southern and southeastern Bulgaria, where the country's Muslims, mainly of
Turkish origin, are concentrated, and "had links with similar organisations in
Kosovo, Bosnia and Macedonia. For them Bulgaria seems to be a transit point to
Western Europe." He said the steps were taken to prevent terrorist groups
gaining a foothold in Bulgaria, which shares a border with Turkey. Bulgaria's
Turkish minority accounts for 10 percent of the country's population.
The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia passed a law allowing ethnic Albanians
to display the Albanian national flag[14] in areas where they form the majority.
The decision came as a result of seven months of heavy fighting in 2001
involving Albanian separatists, and following pressure from the European
Union[15], always ready to please Muslims.
Ethnic Albanians make up about 25 per cent of Macedonia's population. If the
demographic trends are anything like in Kosovo, where the predominantly Muslim
Albanians have been out-breeding their non-Muslim neighbours, the Macedonians
could be facing serious trouble in the near future. In Kosovo, dozens of
churches and monasteries[16] have been destroyed or seriously damaged following
ethnic cleansing of Christian Serbs, all under the auspices of NATO soldiers.
In a commentary, "We bombed the wrong side?" former Canadian UNPROFOR Commander
Lewis MacKenzie wrote, "The Kosovo-Albanians have played us like a Stradivarius.
We have subsidised and indirectly supported their violent campaign for an
ethnically pure and independent Kosovo. We have never blamed them for being the
perpetrators of the violence in the early '90s and we continue to portray them
as the designated victim today in spite of evidence to the contrary. When they
achieve independence with the help of our tax dollars combined with those of bin
Laden and al-Qaeda, just consider the message of encouragement this sends to
other terrorist-supported independence movements around the world."
Martti Ahtisaari[17], former President of Finland and now Chief United Nations
negotiator for Kosovo, caused anger in Serbia when he stated that "Serbs are
guilty as people," implying that they would have to pay for it, possibly by
losing the province of Kosovo which is seeking independence.
I disagree with Mr. Ahtisaari. It is one thing to criticise the brutality of the
Milosevic regime. It is quite another thing to claim that "Serbs are guilty as a
people." If anybody in the Balkans can be called guilty as a people, it is the
Turks, not the Serbs. The Turks have left a trail of blood across much of Europe
and the Mediterranean for centuries, culminating in the Armenian genocide in the
20th century, which Turkey still refuses to acknowledge, let alone apologise
for.
Dimitar Angelov[18] elucidates the impact of the Ottoman Jihad on the vanquished
Balkan populations:
"…the conquest of the Balkan Peninsula accomplished by the Turks over the course
of about two centuries caused the incalculable ruin of material goods, countless
massacres, the enslavement and exile of a great part of the population – in a
word, a general and protracted decline of productivity, as was the case with
Asia Minor after it was occupied by the same invaders. This decline in
productivity is all the more striking when one recalls that in the
mid-fourteenth century, as the Ottomans were gaining a foothold on the
peninsula, the States that existed there – Byzantium, Bulgaria and Serbia – had
already reached a rather high level of economic and cultural development….The
campaigns of Mourad II (1421-1451) and especially those of his successor,
Mahomet II (1451-1481) in Serbia, Bosnia, Albania and in the Byzantine princedom
of the Peloponnesus, were of a particularly devastating character."
This Ottoman Jihad tradition is still continued by "secular" Turkey to this day.
Michael J. Totten visited Varosha, the Ghost City of Cyprus[19], in 2005. The
city was deserted during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974 and is now
fenced off and patrolled by the Turkish occupiers. The Turks carved up the
island. Greek Cypriot citizens in Varosha expected to return to their homes
within days. Instead, the Turks seized the empty city and wrapped it in fencing
and wire.
In March 2006, Italian Luigi Geninazzi[20] made a report from the same area.
180,000 persons live in the northern part of the island, 100,000 of whom are
colonists originally from mainland Turkey.
According to Geninazzi, the Islamisation of the north of Cyprus has been
concretised in the destruction of all that was Christian. Yannis Eliades,
director of the Byzantine Museum of Nicosia, calculates that 25,000 icons have
disappeared from the churches in the zone occupied by the Turks. Stupendous
Byzantine and Romanesque churches, imposing monasteries, mosaics and frescoes
have been sacked, violated, and destroyed. Many have been turned into
restaurants, bars, and nightclubs.
Geninazzi confronted Huseyn Ozel, a government spokesman for the self-proclaimed
Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, with this. Most of the mosques in Greek
Cypriot territory have been restored. So why are churches still today being
turned into mosques? The Turkish Cypriot functionary spreads his arms wide: "It
is an Ottoman custom..."
A person from Finland, one of the northernmost countries in Europe which has had
very little direct experience with Jihad, can perhaps be excused for
understanding so little of it. But people from Russia, a country which was once
under the Tartar Yoke, should know better. So why are the Russians[21] helping
The Islamic Republic of Iran with missile[22] and nuclear technology that will
eventually be used to intimidate the West? Are the Russians so naive that they
believe this beast won't eventually come back to bite them, too? Iran is
secretly training Chechen rebels in sophisticated terror techniques to enable
them to carry out more effective attacks against Russian[23] forces, the Sunday
Telegraph has revealed.
Islam was controlled in the Soviet Union but has had a renaissance since its
downfall in 1991, helped by funds from the Middle East. This re-Islamisation of
Central Asia should really worry the Russians. They are spending hundreds of
millions of dollars on a border security[24] project in the region, partly to
avoid being demographically overwhelmed by Muslims. But the problem exists
within Russia itself, too.
Russia's non-Muslim population is declining, but numbers are rising in Muslim
regions. Will the country called Russia still exist in the future? And if so,
will it be the Russia of Pushkin or of Abdullah? It is understandable that the
Russians have Great Power ambitions of their own. However, one would hope that
they will wake up, remember their history and realise that there are worse
threats out there than American power.
Paul Fregosi has pointed out that "Western colonisation of nearby Muslim lands
lasted 130 years, from the 1830s to the 1960s. Muslim colonisation of nearby
European lands lasted 1300 years, from the 600s to the mid-1960s. Yet,
strangely, it is the Muslims, the Arabs and the Moors to be precise, who are the
most bitter about colonialism and the humiliations to which they have been
subjected; and it is the Europeans who harbor the shame and the guilt. It should
be the other way around."
Janos (John) Hunyadi, Hungarian warrior and captain-general, is today virtually
unknown outside Hungary, but he probably did more than any other individual in
stemming the Turkish invasion in the fifteenth century. His actions spanned all
the countries of the Balkans, leading international armies, negotiating with
kings and popes. Hunyadi died of plague after having destroyed an Ottoman fleet
outside Belgrade in1456. His work slowed the Muslim advance, and may thus have
saved Western Europe from falling to Islam. By extension, he may have helped
save Western civilisation in North America and Australia, too. Yet hardly
anybody in West knows who he is. Our children don't learn his name, they are
only taught about the evils of Western colonialism and the dangers of
Islamophobia.
Western Europe today is a strange and very dangerous mix of arrogance and
self-loathing. Muslims are creating havoc and attacking their non-Muslim
neighbours from Thailand to India. It is extremely arrogant to believe that the
result will be any different in the Netherlands, Britain or Italy, or for that
matter in the United States or Canada, than it has been everywhere else. It
won't. If we had the humility to listen to the advice of the Hindus of India or
even our Christian cousins in south-eastern Europe, we wouldn't be in as much
trouble as we are now.
On the other hand, if we didn't have such a culture of self-loathing, where our
own cultural traditions are ridiculed in favor of a meaningless Multicultural
cocktail, we probably wouldn't have allowed massive Muslim immigration, either.
There doesn't have to be a contradiction between being proud of your own
cultural heritage and knowing that there may still be lessons you can learn from
others. A wise man can do both. Westerners of or our age do neither. Sun
Tzu[25], a contemporary of the great Chinese thinker Confucius, wrote The Art of
War, the influential book on military strategy, 2500 years ago. It is a book
that deserves to be read in full, but perhaps the most famous quotation from it
is this one:
"So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be
imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know
yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor
yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle."
The West has forgotten who our enemies are, but worse, we have also forgotten
who we are. We are going to pay a heavy price for this historical amnesia.

By Fjordman
After the death a while ago of Rinie
Mulder[1], a 54-year old indigenous Dutchman who was shot by a police
officer, non-immigrant citizens went on a rampage in Utrecht. Apparently Mulder
intervened when Muslim youths harassed a pregnant native Dutch woman. Locals
claim the police have failed to protect them for years. They say the authorities
are afraid of the immigrants and tolerate their criminal behaviour.
This issue is not just about Utrecht or Holland. Similar resentment against
Muslim immigrants, but at least as much against their own authorities, is
quietly brewing among the natives all over Western Europe.
It is insulting that two thirds of the Dutch, one of the founding members of the
European community, voted against the proposed EU Constitution, and yet EU
leaders will apparently just ignore this and force their massively undemocratic
Constitution down people's throats anyway. The German Presidency wants EU
leaders to agree on a text for a new treaty by February 2008.
The label 'Constitution' is to be dropped[2],
in order to avoid further referendums.
European Commission president Jose Manuel
Barroso expressed unease[3] with the prospect of a second Dutch constitution
referendum. "Referendums make the process of approval of European treaties much
more complicated and less predictable," he said "If a referendum had been held
on the creation of the European Community or the introduction of the Euro, do
you think these would have passed?"
Although the EU warns against "Islamophobia[4],"
those who live in the real world know that there has been an explosion of
violent infidelophobia in Western Europe staged by Muslim immigrants. This wave
of violence especially targets Jews[5],
but the attacks against Christians[6]
that are going on in the Middle East are increasingly
spreading to Europe as well[7]. In
more and more cities across the continent, non-Muslims are being harassed,
robbed, mugged, raped, stabbed and even killed by Muslims. Native Europeans are
slowly becoming second-rate citizens in their own countries.
This violence by Muslims is usually labelled simply as "crime," but I believe it
should more accurately be called Jihad. Those who know early Islamic history, as
described in books such as The Truth
About Muhammad[8] by Robert Spencer, know
that looting and stealing the property of
non-Muslims[9] has been part and parcel of Jihad from the very beginning. In
fact, so much of the behaviour of
Muhammad himself and the early Muslims could be deemed criminal[10] that it
is difficult to know exactly where crime ends and Jihad begins. In the city of
Oslo, for instance, it is documented that some of the criminal Muslim gangs also
have close ties to radical religious groups (33) at home and abroad. As
Dutch Arabist Hans Jansen points out[11],
the Koran is seen by some Muslims as a God-given "hunting licence," granting
them the right to assault and even murder non-Muslims. It is hardly accidental
that while Muslims make up about 10% of the population in France,
they make up an estimated 70% of French
prison inmates[12].
In the city of Antwerp, Belgium, Marij
Uijt den Bogaard[13] from 2003 to 2006 worked as a civil servant in the
immigrant borough of Berchem. She noted how radical Islamist groups began to
take over the immigrant neighbourhoods, but was fired when she warned against
this danger in her reports to the authorities:
"Many victims of burglaries in houses and cars, of steaming and other forms of
violence, can testify that aggression by Muslims is not directed against
brothers and sisters, but against whoever is a kafir, a non-believer. Young
Muslims justify their behaviour towards women who do not wear the headscarf,
whether Muslim or non-Muslim, by referring to the Salafist teaching which says
that these women are whores and should be treated as such. They told me this. I
wrote it down in my reports, but the authorities refuse to hear it."
Filmmaker Pierre Rehov tells how[14]
a friend of his is a retired chief of police who used to be in charge of the
security of a major city in the south of France. According to him, 80% of the
rapes in the area were made by Muslim young men. In most cases, the parents
would not understand why they would be arrested. The only evil those parents
would see, genuinely, was the temptation that the male children had to face from
infidel women.
The wave of robberies the increasingly Muslim-dominated city of Malmö is
witnessing is part of a "war against Swedes," this according to statements from
the immigrant youths themselves. "When we are in the city and robbing, we are
waging a war, waging a war against the Swedes." This argument was repeated
several times. "Power for me means that Swedes shall look at me, lie down on the
ground and kiss my feet."
Jonathan Friedman, an American living in Sweden, mentions that the so-called
Integration Act of 1997 proclaimed that
"Sweden is a Multicultural society[15]." The Act implicitly states that
Sweden doesn't have a history, only the various ethnic groups that live there.
Native Swedes have been reduced to just another ethnic group in Sweden, with no
more claim to the country than the Somalis who arrived there last Thursday. As
Friedman puts it: "In Sweden, it's almost as if the state has sided with the
immigrants against the Swedish working class."
Pierre Schori, Minister for immigration, during a parliamentary debate in 1997
said that: "Racism and xenophobia should be banned and chased [away]," and that
one should not accept "excuses, such as that there were flaws in the immigration
and refugee policies." In other words: It should be viewed as a crime for the
indigenous population not to assist in wiping themselves out. The state is
turned into an enemy of the very population it is supposed to protect. Swedes
pay some of the highest tax rates in the world, and for this they get runaway
crime rates and a government that is actively hostile to their interests.
Exit the People's Home of Sweden is a book from 2005 about immigration and the
Swedish welfare state model. According to the authors, the Multicultural elites
see themselves first of all as citizens of the world. In order to emphasise and
accentuate diversity, everything that smacks of "native culture" is deliberately
disparaged. Opposition to this policy is considered a form of racism:
"The dominant ideology in Sweden, which has been made dominant by powerful
methods of silencing and repression, is a totalitarian ideology, where the
elites oppose the national aspect of the nation state."
Researchers Gert Tinggaard Svendsen og Gunnar Lind Haase Svendsen have written
the book Social Kapital [16]. When
general levels of trust were measured in 86 countries, the Nordic nations
Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland came out on top. According to the authors,
the trust between citizens and the trust between citizens and the state is very
high in these countries, and this "social capital" is highly profitable and
accounts for up a to a quarter of these countries' wealth.
However, they also warn that such trust is vulnerable. A society can lose its
social capital and trust rather quickly, but it can take centuries to rebuild
it. This social capital is now being squandered a matter of official state
policy all over Western Europe, accompanied by wild cheers from the media and
the intelligentsia.
Although such high levels of trust are in many ways attractive and desirable,
they also contain some potential pitfalls. People's trusting nature may make
them easy targets for outsiders from more cynical cultures, who view them as
gullible fools. However, it also makes them vulnerable to threats from within.
In the 1990s, Swedish authorities decided that native Swedes and their culture
had no more claim to the country than Kurds. At the same time, the country
became a member of the EU. Mass immigration to Sweden started years before EU
membership and wasn't caused by this, but the EU certainly didn't help. Now
suddenly, as with other EU members, Swedes have most of their laws passed by
unelected EU bureaucrats rather than their own elected national representatives.
Swedes were used to that laws were passed with their consent and with their best
interests in mind, because by and large they had been. Within a few years, all
of this has changed. Laws are now passed by EU bureaucrats who don't give a damn
about their interests, and by elites who don't care about their own people, in
fact view them as potential stumbling blocks for the new Multicultural society.
Yet most Europeans still follow these laws. Why? I can see at least two reasons.
Germany's ex-president Roman Herzog
pointed out[17] that between 1999 and 2004, 84 percent of the legal acts in
Germany stemmed from Brussels, and warned that "EU policies suffer to an
alarming degree from a lack of democracy and a de facto suspension of the
separation of powers. The question has to be raised of whether Germany can still
unreservedly be called a parliamentary democracy."
Why is this pan-European EU dictatorship still functioning? Because seeing is
believing. Most Europeans still don't know that
EU leaders are using their money without
their consent to merge Europe with the Arab world[18] because their media
don't tell them this. Due to the common Euro currency and the lack of national
borders they can move around most of Europe at ease, which seems convenient.
They don't physically see, however, that the EU has also usurped the power of
their national parliaments. The latter appear to be working just as always, but
have now been reduced to implementing the policies of unelected Eurocrats.
The second reason is because ordinary European citizens are held hostage by
their own law-abiding nature. Abiding by rules and regulations used to serve
them well in the past, but things have changed. Even the laws that are in their
interest are no longer upheld. Their nations have vacated their national borders
and the ensuing uncontrolled mass immigration is creating rampant urban
insecurity.
For Dutchmen, in what once was a peaceful and orderly country, to go against
decades of indoctrination to stage something like the recent uprisings in
Utrecht, they have to feel an extreme amount of repressed frustration and anger.
Perhaps they watched the media reactions to the Muslim riots in France, which
were sympathetic and were followed by promises from political leaders to listen
to the "legitimate grievances" of the rioters. Perhaps the native Dutch in
Utrecht thought that hey, we are quiet and peaceful and yet we get only contempt
from our so-called leaders. Muslims burn stuff and get concessions. Perhaps we
should start burning stuff, too. What have we got to lose? We're already losing
our country.
The excellent Chinese blogger Ohmyrus[19]
has warned against precisely this:
"While it took a long time for Europeans to learn to settle their differences
peacefully through the ballot box, this important lesson is slowly being
unlearned. The lesson learned from the Danish cartoon affair is that violence
pays. Most Western governments caved in by issuing apologies or condemning the
cartoons instead of defending free speech. Soon groups that oppose immigration
will turn to violence too. If European democracies cannot manage their ethnic
tensions, democracy will break down, ushering in dictatorial rule."
In a British poll from January 2007[20],
a massive 82% disagreed (57% strongly) as to whether the government was in
control of immigration. When asked if the government was "open and honest" about
the scale of immigration into Britain, 80% disagreed. Sir Andrew Green, chairman
of Migrationwatch, said: "After a decade of efforts to stifle debate, there is
now a fundamental lack of trust between the Government and the public on this
issue." The numbers also "reflect a deep underlying resentment among the public
that they have not had any opportunity to express their views – still less to be
consulted - on a matter of major importance to them and to the future of our
country."
According to Theodore Dalrymple[21],
"For the last 40 years, government policy in Britain, de facto if not always de
jure, has been to render the British population virtually defenceless against
criminals and criminality. Almost alone of British government policies, this one
has been supremely effective: no Briton nowadays goes many hours without
wondering how to avoid being victimised by a criminal intent on theft, burglary,
or violence."
He fears that "the failure of the state to protect the lives and property of its
citizens, and to take seriously its duty in this regard, creates a politically
dangerous situation, for it puts the very legitimacy of the state itself at
risk. The potential consequences are incalculable, for the failure might bring
the rule of law itself into disrepute and give an opportunity to the brutal and
the authoritarian."
In Norway, local politician Bengt
Michalsen had a tape[22] from a surveillance camera clearly identifying two
youths as doing damage to a van at a car park. He delivered the tape to the
police, and months later received a note that the case had been dismissed
because the police didn't have the capacity to prosecute it. According to the
local police chief, the public "just had to get used to" the fact the police
wouldn't spend time on petty crime.
So, that means that Scandinavians will have to protect our own property, right?
Not exactly. The authorities just want us to take it lying down and do nothing.
In Denmark, at least one of three would-be robbers shot by a watchmaker
plans to file for compensation[23]
over wrongful injury, loss of work time and loss of the ability to work. The
three threatened the watchmaker by putting a fake pistol up to his chin, but he
had a real pistol behind his counter and managed to fire it. He was charged with
unlawful possession of a firearm and taken into police custody. Attorney Svend
Raether said that it is possible for the thief to receive compensation, despite
having been injured while committing a crime.
Citizens in Western European countries pay high taxes to a state that is totally
incapable of protecting our most basic rights, and is frequently unwilling even
to try. With hate speech laws we are deprived of the right to protest against
being swamped by immigration that will eventually render us minorities in our
own countries. The law is used to punish the law-abiding while the criminals
rule the streets.
If the authorities refuse to uphold the laws designed to protect us and keep
passing new laws that threaten the freedom of our children and the survival of
our nations, we will sooner or later have to decide when civil disobedience
becomes not just a right, but a duty. And I fear what will happen once we reach
that point, which may not be too far off. Judging from the recent uprisings in
Utrecht, this process has already begun.
Vladimir Bukovksy, a former Soviet dissident, fears that the
European Union is on its way to becoming
another Soviet Union[24]:
"The sooner we finish with the EU the better. The sooner it collapses the less
damage it will have done to us and to other countries. But we have to be quick
because the Eurocrats are moving very fast. It will be difficult to defeat them.
Today it is still simple. If one million people march on Brussels today these
guys will run away to the Bahamas. If tomorrow half of the British population
refuses to pay its taxes, nothing will happen and no-one will go to jail. Today
you can still do that."
Mr. Bukovsky is right. Europeans should launch tax rebellions and stage street
demonstrations in every major European city until Muslim immigration is ended.
We should stage a Million Man March to Brussels, for instance on September 11th
this year, to demand that the pan-European dictatorship called the European
Union is dismantled. We need to get angry and squeeze our so-called leaders into
doing this, since they obviously understand nothing else.
Here is what Thomas Jefferson wrote in the
American Declaration of Independence[25]
from 1776:
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is
the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new
Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organising its powers
in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and
Happiness. [...] It is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
Europeans are currently subject to worse insults from our governments than the
Americans were at that time, being persecuted in our own cities and subject to a
government-supported program of gradual cultural eradication. We need a European
Declaration of Independence, calling for our emancipation from the bureaucratic
feudalism of Brussels and the totalitarian ideology of multiculturalism. Allow
me to write the first draft:
A European Declaration of Independence
We, the citizens of the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Germany,
Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, Hungary, (fill in the blanks) demand that the
following steps are taken immediately:
We demand that our national governments should immediately and without delay
pull their countries out of the European Union, which should be dismantled
entirely. European citizens pay up to half of their salaries in direct or
indirect taxes to their nation states. If these nations do not control their own
borders nor their policies, and they don't as long as the EU exists, those taxes
are a scam. National taxes require national borders. If our national borders are
not enforced, we have no obligation whatsoever to pay national taxes.
We demand that all documents regarding the Euro-Arab Dialogue and the creation
of the Eurabian networks for "Euro-Mediterranean cooperation" between European
countries and Arab countries since the 1970s, as documented by Bat Ye'or's work
on Eurabia, are published and explained in their full significance to the
general public. Those chiefly responsible for this - one of the greatest
betrayals in the history of Western civilisation - should stand trial, followed
by a period of general de-Eurabification of our laws and regulations.
We demand that all financial support to the Palestinian Authority should cease
immediately. It is proven beyond any doubt that this has in the past been used
to finance campaigns of Jihad terrorism against Jews in Israel and against
Christians in territories under PA control. A public statement in support of
Israel against Muslim aggression should be issued, and the money that has
previously been awarded to Palestinians should be allocated partly to Israel's
defence, partly to establish a Global Infidel Defence Fund with the stated goal
of disseminating information about Muslim persecution of non-Muslims worldwide.
We demand that the ideology of multiculturalism should immediately be removed
from all government policies and school curricula, and that the state should
adopt a policy of supporting the continuation of the cultural heritage and
traditions of the indigenous populations. Multiculturalism has never been about
tolerance. It is an anti-Western hate ideology championed as an instrument for
unilaterally dismantling European culture. As such, it is an evil ideology bent
on an entire culture's eradication, and we, the peoples of Europe, have not just
a right, but a duty to resist it and an obligation to pass on our heritage to
future generations.
We demand that all Muslim immigration in whatever form should be immediately and
completely halted, and that our authorities take a long break from mass
immigration in general until such a time when law and order has been
reestablished in our major cities. We will not accept any accusations of
"racism." Many European nations have for decades accepted more immigration into
our countries in a shorter period of time than any other people has done
peacefully in human history.
We are sick and tired of feeling like strangers in our own lands, of being
mugged, raped, stabbed, harassed and even killed by violent gangs of Muslim
thugs, yet being accused of "racism and xenophobia" by our media and intimidated
by our own authorities to accept even more such immigration.
Europe is being targeted for deliberate colonisation by Muslim states, and with
coordinated efforts aimed at our Islamisation and the elimination of our
freedoms. We are being subject to a foreign invasion, and aiding and abetting a
foreign invasion in any way constitutes treason. If non-Europeans have the right
to resist colonisation and desire self-determination then Europeans have that
right, too. And we intend to exercise it.
If these demands are not fully implemented, if the European Union isn't
dismantled, multiculturalism isn't rejected and Muslim immigration isn't
stopped, we, the peoples of Europe, are left with no other choice than to
conclude that our authorities have abandoned us, and that the taxes they collect
are therefore unjust and that the laws that are passed without our consent are
illegitimate. We will stop paying taxes and take the appropriate measures to
protect our own security and ensure our national survival.

This will add to several of the ongoing discussions and potential solutions.
The
"Atatürk approach" has already failed
Many moderate cultural conservatives have suggested that banning Sharia will
solve all our problems and force the Muslims to integrate. Unfortunately, Islam
is a lot more resilient than most people can comprehend.
Any "Atatürk approach" will not solve anything but only delay the inevitable.
Turkey became secular after Mustafa Atatürk, by military force, implemented his
harsh reforms 90 years ago. The result? Sharia lay dormant for 70-80 years. As
soon as it was practically possible (Turkey had to implement more human rights
to appease the EU) the former "dormant" devout Muslims resurfaced and the
Islamist alliance won the last election. The secular elites of Turkey backed by
the military are now in an undemocratic manner refusing to obey the will of the
majority (Islamist alliance). Turkey is therefore a textbook example of a
dictatorship. The reason why Ataturk failed is because Islam is extremely
resilient, in fact more resilient than most people can comprehend. Taking Sharia
(and all political aspects) out of Islam is simply not possible.
Sure, we can force temporary secularisation on the Muslims but eventually, even
though they would have to wait 90 years, the demands for more Sharia will
resurface. And by then they will be in majority and can democratically do
whatever they want.
So ironically, failing to take action now and deport the Muslims will result in
a scenario where Muslims will be in majority. The only way we can then prevent
Sharia law from being implemented as the only standard will be to suppress the
Muslim majority through military force just like Turkey is doing now. In other
words, the humanists reluctance to support deportation of Muslims today are
therefore contributing to destroy our very democracies. Because the end result,
due to their reluctance to act, will be a Turkey style dictatorship/fascism. I’m
a strong defender of democracy and therefore cannot support this fascist
approach. We, the cultural conservative
and anti-fascists of Europe must therefore do everything possible to
defend democracy and freedom and prevent a fascist dictatorship by seizing power
and enforce a harsh but just democracy. This can only be accomplished by
overthrowing the current Western European multiculturalist regimes by seizing
power through armed resistance and a military coup when the time is right. This
is the only way to safeguard democracy long term. Sure, it will be bloody. But
if democracy, our homelands and people aren’t
worth certain sacrifices then what is?
I predict one of the four scenarios for W. Europe, depending on whether we
succeed or not:
1. Islam will reform to a secular
"Islamic Protestantism", where all political aspects (Sharia included) will be
purged. This is unlikely.
2. Our countries will be Muslim
3. Several mini-Pakistan's will be
created all over Europe, one in each country (due to Lebanon style conflicts).
4. All Muslims (who does not convert
to a non-political religion) will be deported. This will be the alternative if
the cultural conservatives of Europe succeeds in seizing power.
In scenario 2, 3 and 4 (to a certain degree scenario 1) civil war will be
unavoidable in Western Europe.
Daniel Pipes
Q:
In a recent video interview you said about the future of Islam in Europe that
there's a 5% chance of harmony, and 47,5% chance for either Islam becoming
dominant and Europeans reasserting control, and that the latter option might
imply a civil strife? Would you explain what you mean?
DP:
It's striking to see that the default assumption of most Europeans is that
somehow the European-Muslim relationship will work out. There may be problems
today, but in the future it will be resolved. And yet I can't see the sources of
that optimism. If one looks at Muslims living in Europe one finds retreat rather
than engagement. The children of the immigrants are more hostile toward existing
European civilisation than are the immigrants themselves. On the European side,
one finds increasing worry, concern, fear of the Muslim presence. So the hope
that everyone will get along seems to be not based on reality. Therefore I give
it a very low possibility of working out. Not zero, but mimimal.
On the other hand, the alternatives between Muslim domination and European
reassertion seem to me rather balanced. I can't predict which of them is more
likely to happen. Crises ahead that have not taken place which will help
determine which way Europe goes.
Q:
What kind of crises are to be expected, beyond those we have already seen?
DP:
There have been small crises. The Rushdie affair. The Foulard affair. The pope
affair. But these are not real crises. Little riots here and there. But nothing
that has really led to major changes. So I think there's a gap of five, ten,
fifteen years to the future. I can't predict but it could be something like the
French riots of 2005, but far more violent – not burning cars but killing
people. It could be the election of a government that could decide to send
Muslim immigrants back to their home countries. I'm unable to predict the
specific nature, I just think there are problems ahead that will show us which
way Europe is likely to head.

I do, unfortunately, agree with Hedegaard that we have already passed the point
of no return for serious conflicts caused by Muslim immigration. Anything we do
now is damage limitation. A Multicultural society is only temporary. Sooner or
later, we will return to a new mono-cultural society. This will happen either
through the division of the previously coherent territory into new,
mono-cultural enclaves or through the takeover by society as a whole of the most
forceful and aggressive of these competing cultures.
My personal view is that the Jihad riots in France in 2005 could be interpreted
as the early stages of a civil war, one of several Eurabian civil wars to come.
What will happen to the hundreds of French nuclear warheads? Will they be used
to intimidate the rest of the West?
Maybe future historians will dub this the Multicultural World War. I find this
to be a more accurate term than "The Islamic World War" because what is causing
this world war is Western cultural weakness more than Islamic strength. The wars
in the Balkans in the 1990s will in hindsight be seen as a prelude to the
Multicultural World War.
It could be similar to the division of India after WW2, with the creation of one
or several Islamic "Pakistan" enclaves. All of Europe will not be lost, but some
parts may be, and many others will be damaged by the fighting. Many of our
cultural treasures will burn.
It is possible that those regions of Europe where the infidels are strong enough
will copy the Benes Decrees from Czechoslovakia in 1946, when most of the
so-called Sudeten Germans, some 3.5 million people, had shown themselves to be a
dangerous fifth column without any loyalty to the state. The Czech government
thus expelled them from its land. As Hugh Fitzgerald of Jihad Watch has
demonstrated, there is a much better case for a Benes Decree for parts of
Europe's Muslim population now than there ever was for the Sudeten Germans.
The truth is that Europe has got itself into a bad fix, again, and will have
some turbulent and painful decades ahead regardless of what we do at this point.
The choice is between some pain where at least parts of Europe prevail and pain
where Europe simply ceases to exist as a Western, cultural entity.
The most civilised thing we can do in order to save ourselves, but also to limit
the loss of life among both Muslims and non-Muslims, is for Westerners and
indeed infidels in general to implement a policy of containment of the Islamic
world. This includes stopping Muslim immigration, but also by making our
countries Islam-unfriendly, thus presenting the Muslims already here between the
options of adapting to our societies or leaving if they desire sharia law. Even
whispering about Jihad should be grounds for expulsion.
Since Islamic countries can use organisations such as the United Nations to
influence Western freedom of speech and immigration policies, Westerners need to
discredit and disengage from the UN as much as possible, at some point maybe
withdraw from it completely. We cannot under any circumstances allow Islamic
nations to influence our legislation.
Regaining our cultural confidence is a more complicated and longer term goal. It
probably cannot be achieved until today's version of Western Europe has
collapsed. Western Europe is now a collection of several layers of different
Utopias, multiculturalism, welfarism and transnationalism, that will soon come
crashing down.
However, just as Islam isn't the cause of Europe's weakness but rather a
secondary infection, it is conceivable that the Islamic threat could have the
unforeseen and ironic effect of saving Europe from herself. Europe will go
through a turbulent period of painful, but necessary revival. Maybe Jihad will
trigger a new Renaissance in the West.
Europe will bleed but she won't die. It remains to be seen whether this is
wishful thinking or whether it will actually happen. In any case, it will take
time to materialise.
It may sound unrealistic to talk about the collapse of the European Union or
pulling out of the UN, but I believe things will rapidly get worse in the years
ahead. A generation from now, things that will seem improbable or outright
impossible now will have come to pass. We will see some of the largest changes
in world politics since WW2, perhaps in centuries.

By Fjordman
“And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned from
time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take
arms.”
Thomas Jefferson
In my essay about the retreat of the Western world order[1], I mentioned the
possibility of civil strife in the West caused by runaway immigration. This is
no longer just a theoretical possibility. It is pretty clear to anybody
following the developments in Europe that the situation in France is starting to
become rather serious[2]. President Jacques Chirac threw out part of a youth
labour law[3] that triggered massive protests and strikes, bowing to intense
pressure from students and unions. The unemployment rate for youths under 26 is
a staggering 22 percent nationwide, but soars to nearly 50 percent in some of
those troubled areas with many Muslim immigrants. French Jews are leaving[4] the
country in ever-growing numbers, fleeing a wave of anti-Semitism. Nidra
Poller[5], American ex-pat writer and translator in Paris, has written some
appalling stories about aggressive anti-Semitism, such as the murder and brutal
torture of French Jew Ilan Halimi early in 2006.
Muslim blogs are calling for violence against the Jews, the whites and the
well-to-do. They say, “We must burn France[6], as Hamas will burn Israel.” The
growth of the Islamic population is explosive. According to some, one out of
three babies born in France is now a Muslim. Around 70% of French prisoners[7]
are Muslims. Hundreds of Muslim ghettos are already de facto following
sharia[8], not French law. Some have pointed out that the French military are
not always squeamish, but there are estimates that 15% of the armed forces[9]
are already made up of Muslims, and rising. How effective can the army then be
in upholding the French republic? At the same time, opinion polls show that the
French are now officially the most anti-capitalist nation[10] on earth. France
has chosen Socialism and Islam. It will get both, and sink into a quagmire[11]
of its own making. Some believe France will quietly become a Muslim country,
others believe in civil war in the near future:
The French Disease[12]
Within 20 years, one person out of four in France will be Muslim, and almost
certainly poor and angry. So the French disease progresses. It is chronic
becoming terminal. On the way toward collapse, there will be no civil war, just
moments of harsh violence. The population will change. People with a high level
of productivity will choose exile. People with a low level of productivity will
immigrate. Jews and Christians will leave. Muslims will arrive.
The unreported race riot in France[13]
Fredric Encel, Professor of international relations at the prestigious École
Nationale d’Administration in Paris and a man not known for crying wolf,
recently stated that France is becoming a new Lebanon. The implication,
far-fetched though it may seem, was that civil upheaval might be no more than a
few years off, sparked by growing ethnic and religious polarisation.
I’m not sure which of these scenarios is scarier. People keep talking about the
nukes that the Iranians may get, but what about the hundreds of nuclear warheads
the French have? Will they be used to intimidate the rest of the West? How do we
handle an Islamic France, still the heartland of the European continent, with
Muslim control of hundreds of nukes? And how do we handle a Bosnia or Lebanon
with a population much larger than either of these countries, and with hundreds
of nuclear warheads at stake?
If Muslim immigration continues, the impending fall of France could mark the
starting point of the Balkanisation of much of Europe, perhaps later even North
America. I fear this is a world war. Maybe future historians will dub it the
Multicultural World War. Just as WW1 was caused by Imperialism, WW2 by Fascism
and the Cold War by Communism, this one will be caused by multiculturalism. The
term “the Multicultural World War” has been coined by Fjordman. I find this to
be more accurate than “The Islamic World War” because what will cause this world
war is Western cultural weakness, through multiculturalism and Muslim
immigration, rather than Islamic strength. As poster DP111 says, this world war
may very well be in the form of a global civil war, where you get a succession
of civil wars instead of countries invading other countries. Multiculturalism
and uncontrolled mass-immigration destroy the internal cohesion of the decadent
West, which will slowly fall apart as it has lost the will to defend itself and
the belief in its own culture. The wars in the Balkans in the 1990s will in
hindsight be seen as a prelude to the Multicultural World War. Rather than a
Westernisation of the Balkans, we get a Balkanisation of the West.
I guess there is some poetic justice in the fact that the country that initiated
and has led the creation of Eurabia now gets consumed by its own Frankenstein
monster, but we should not gloat over this. The downfall of France is very bad
news for the rest of the West. Again, what happens to their nukes and military
resources? As stated in the book “Eurabia” by Bat Ye’or, the merger of Europe
and the Arab-Islamic world has been encouraged by the French political elite in
particular at least since the early 1970s, with a vision of creating a united
Europe and Mediterranean basin under French leadership, in what has basically
been a French dream since the age of Napoleon, the great hero of current French
PM de Villepin. Several prominent French leaders stated quite openly in 2005
that the proposed EU Constitution was basically an enlarged France. Justice
Minister Dominique Perben said: “We have finally obtained this ‘Europe à la
française’ that we have awaited for so long. This constitutional treaty is an
enlarged France[14]. It is a Europe written in French.” Education Minister
François Fillon stated: “This Constitution allows the French ambition to assert
itself in the big Europe that General de Gaulle hoped and prayed for.” The
French dream of an enlarged France. What they may get is a France carved into
tiny pieces.
My personal belief is not that we are witnessing the final triumph of Eurabia,
but rather the last spasms of the Eurabian Union. There will be at least as big
changes in Western Europe over the coming generation as there were in Eastern
Europe following the fall of the Berlin Wall. There will be the downfall and
disintegration of an anti-democratic, bureaucratic superstate, the European
Union instead of the Soviet Union, and there will be the downfall of “soft
Socialism” in the shape of the Multicultural welfare state in the West just as
you had the downfall of the “hard Socialism” in the East. The difference is that
the downfall of Communism in the East happened through a relatively bloodless
“Velvet Revolution,” whereas the downfall of multiculturalism in the West may
turn out to be anything but bloodless. And it will come, sooner than many people
think. Multiculturalism, cultural Marxism and the idea of forced cultural
equality, will collapse just as Communism, the idea of economic Marxism and
forced economic equality fell.
The difference is that when Communism was discredited in Eastern Europe, it was
still Poles who lived in Polish cities, Bulgarians who lived in Bulgarian cities
etc. When the veil of multiculturalism disappears, it will be Pakistanis who
live in London, Turks who live in Berlin, Algerians who live in Paris and
Moroccans who live in Amsterdam. And then the show begins.
Europe may not be finished yet, but she will go through a painful period of
transition even if we do get a rebirth here. It should be noted that a
revolution doesn’t usually come when the oppression is at its worst, but when
the grip of the authorities and their totalitarian ideology, in this case
multiculturalism and political correctness, seems to be slipping. This was the
case with the Soviet Union in the 1980s, and it will be the case with the
European Union now. I see increasing signs that the idea of multiculturalism is
on the retreat. Even Germany’s and Europe’s largest newspaper ran a series about
the collapse of multiculturalism recently.
I am not alone in predicting such a turbulent scenario. Prominent critic of
Islam in Denmark, Lars Hedegaard, is quoted in Bruce Bawer’s book “While Europe
Slept, How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within” in support of this
dark view:
“If there’s any hope,” Hedegaard suggested dryly, borrowing a line he knew I’d
recognise from 1984, “it lies in the proles.” Yet we both knew that the “proles”
– if they did take over the reins from the elite – might well lead Europe back
down the road to fascism. He did admit that he was glad to be living in Denmark
and not elsewhere in Western Europe: “If there’s any place where there’s hope,
it’s got to be this country.” But Hedegaard didn’t hold out much hope even for
Denmark. “Unless they build up a cadre of intellectuals in Europe who can
think,” he said, America “can kiss Europe good-bye.” The Continent’s future, he
predicted, “is going to be vastly different than we imagine.. It’s going to be
war. Like Lebanon,” with some enclaves dominated by Christians and others by
Muslims. There will be “permanent strife,” and no one will have the “power to
mollify or mediate… It will be more gruesome than we can imagine.” When the
horror comes, he warned, the journalists who helped to bring it about will “wag
their heads and flee – and leave it to those who can’t flee to fight it out.”
The population movements we are witnessing now are the largest and fastest in
human history. In Europe, they can only be compared to the period often referred
to as the Migration Period, following the disintegration of the Roman Empire.
However, during the 4th and 5th centuries, the total human population of the
world was in the order of 200 million. Today, it is 30 times larger than that,
and still growing fast. We also have communications that can transport people
anywhere on earth within hours, and media that show ordinary people how much
better life is in other countries. On top of that, the Romans didn’t have human
rights lawyers advocating that millions of barbarians be let into their lands.
Is it a coincidence that the last time we had migrations like this was when
large parts of the European continent suffered a complete civilisational
breakdown? Is that what we are witnessing now? The second fall of Rome[15]?
Both Thailand and the Philippines, countries where the Muslim population is not
much larger than it is in some Western European countries, are facing war.
Countries such as France, Holland and Sweden could soon reach a point where the
Muslim population will create something akin to civil war, as it already has in
the above-mentioned nations. The Islamic world is now at war with most of the
major powers on the planet at the same time, from the USA to India and from
Russia to Western Europe. It is a real possibility that we will get a full-blown
world war because of these events. If so, I don’t think this will happen 50
years from now, but within the coming generation.
There are several possible scenarios:
1. Eurabia
The EU continues its transformation into a continent-wide organisation with
clear totalitarian leanings, and a very pro-Islamic stance. Europe’s fate is
sealed when Turkey is allowed into the Union, and becomes its largest member.
Historian Bat Ye’or, who first coined the term “Eurabia”, thinks that Europe’s
ties with the Arab-Islamic world are now so firmly entrenched and established
that Eurabia is an irreversible fact. Europe will cease to be a Western,
democratic continent, and will become an appendix to the Arab world. Eurabia
will become a global center for Jihad activities, as the dhimmi taxpayers and
infidel Western technology give a boost to the Ummah. Muslims will be heavily
concentrated in the major cities, and the dhimmi native population will retreat
into the countryside. The old nation states will thus slowly die, as their major
cities, which constitute the brain and “head” of its culture, are cut off from
the rest of the body. Europe’s decline into Eurabia will be speeded up by the
fact that millions of educated natives with the means to it will move to the USA
or other nations. There will be no major war in Western Europe, as its
civilisation is already dead and very few will bother fighting for it.
The only violence will be sporadic Islamic terror attacks to induce fear, and
occasional Muslim mob assaults in European streets to remind the dhimmis who is
boss. It is conceivable that the center of European civilisation will move from
Western Europe to Eastern Europe, but even Eastern Europe will be put under
severe pressure from Muslims, both in the Middle East and in the West. The basic
rule is that the areas Muslims have taken into possession remain in Islamic
hands, while the native population and culture is slowly eradicated. If this
holds true for us today, then parts of Western Europe are already lost, and will
indeed become Eurabia as Bat Ye’or predicts. There are not too many instances I
know of where areas once under the sway of Islam have been reclaimed by
infidels. The most obvious is of course Spain and the Iberian Peninsula, where
the Reconquista took quite a few centuries. I know the Sikhs have kicked Muslims
out of Punjab, India. Parts of present-day Israel could be counted, although
Arabs and Muslims are trying very hard to wipe Israel off the map. And maybe
some of China’s Western provinces could be included. Islam has not been
eradicated there, but it is visibly retreating as Chinese authorities are
suppressing any signs of rebellion.
What these examples have in common is that both the Christians in Spain, the
Sikhs in India and the Jews in Israel were fighting Islam with powerful
religious convictions of their own. The Chinese are not usually very religious,
but they have an equally strong, even ruthless nationalism and belief in their
own civilisation. If history is any guide, today’s decadent, bored,
post-religious and post-nationalist Europe will be no match for Islam, unless it
rediscovers a belief in its own culture and a will to defend it. This will have
to happen soon, or the Islamic demographic conquest of much of the continent
will be an irreversible fact, anyway. The result of this will then either be
Eurabia or a Pakistanisation of Europe, the way we have already seen for
generations in the Balkans.
2. War
Personally, I think this alternative is at least as likely as the above
“Eurabia” scenario. It also contains several sub-scenarios, partly depending
upon when the eventual war starts, and partly on whether there is still some
Western pride and resistance left in Europe underneath the self-loathing and
multiculturalism:
The Pakistanisation of Europe
Muslims aren’t numerous enough to control the entire continent. In the event of
war, there will be mutual ethnic cleansing and Muslims will seize parts of
Western Europe. For instance, a belt stretching from parts of Germany via
Belgium and Holland to France, but maybe even regions within certain nation
states. All of Europe will not be lost, but some parts will, and many others
will be deeply damaged by the fighting. Many of our cultural treasures will
burn. How things will go from there is difficult to predict. Perhaps this new
“Pakistan” in the heart of Europe will be the source of constant instability and
the staging ground for Jihad incursions into infidel areas, just as Pakistan is
to India now. Perhaps we will see a slow reconquest of this area, possibly
taking generations or even centuries. Muslim de facto control of hundreds of
French nuclear warheads will make the situation a lot more dangerous.
Of course, it could be more than one Muslim region. Kosovo and in part Bosnia
are functioning as Islamic bridgeheads in Europe at this moment. There could be
several mini-Pakistans created all over the place. In fact present day Kosovo
walks, talks and looks like a mini-Pakistan. The “zones” in France sound
suspiciously like Muslim “mohallas” in India although the situation is not as
bad as in France.
Reconquista - The Second Expulsion of
the Moors
Muslims strike too early, before they are ready to seize control over major
chunks of Europe. They overestimate their own power, and underestimate the
strength that is still left in Europe. It will start, as these things always do,
before anyone is ready. Everyone, the Islamists, the proto-dhimmis, the
neo-nationalists, the sleepwalking middle class, thinks they have more time than
they do. It may start more or less by accident, like WWI, through the act of a
fringe player unaware of the forces involved or the stakes of the game. Once a
full-blown civil war starts in one country, it can, and probably will, spread to
other countries. Given the European Union’s borderless nature, it is unlikely
that war will be limited to one nation only. This will create a domino effect,
and Muslims will be expelled from Europe yet again, after major bloodshed and
millions of dead across the continent. This will result in the collapse of the
EU. The Arab world will support the Muslims and will prolong the war, but they
won’t win it.
Cultures collide: Muslim immigrants will
be expelled from Europe unless they reverse the growing perception of them as a
social threat[16]
The Muslims refused to assimilate. They were expelled. This was the story in
Europe 400 years ago. We are watching the sequel today. In the clash of cultures
between secular Europeans and extremist Muslims, there can ultimately be no
compatibility or compromise, only loss by one side or the other of the absolute
values it holds dear. European capitulation on European soil, where they remain
the dominant majority, is unlikely.
Global Civil War
Europe has been the primary staging ground for one cold and two hot world wars.
It could become a major battlefield in an Islamic or Multicultural world war,
too. A world war is already simmering, with Muslims clashes against Russia,
Europe, Israel, China, India, the USA and Southeast Asia. Once the fighting
starts in Europe, it could spread outside the continent and ignite a world war.
This is the scenario of “global civil war”.
3. Western Rebirth in Europe
We should discuss the possibility of whether the Islamic threat will force the
West to rethink its values and regain its strength. Can this be done, and how
would this take place? Is it possible to avoid both major war and Eurabia or is
this wishful thinking by now? The growth of Eurabia is closely tied to the
growth of the EU. Perhaps we could derail Eurabia by dismantling the EU? This
would require that Europe regain her old, cultural and religious dynamic and
repel Islam. Just as Islam isn’t the cause of Europe’s current weakness, but
rather a secondary infection, it could have the unforeseen and ironic effect of
saving Europe from herself. By quite literally putting a dagger at Europe’s
throat, the Islamic world will force Europeans to renew themselves or die.
Europe will go through a turbulent period of painful, but necessary revival, and
will arrive chastened on the other side.

“Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.”
George Shaw
Why won’t more of us volunteer to fight our regimes while we still have a
demographical edge? This is a question that will follow us for the decades to
come.
Mahatma Gandhi once wrote:
"Hindus are cowards and Muslims are bullies."
When I was younger and a lot more ignorant I used to ask myself this very
question about Europeans. What’s wrong with us, what’s wrong with the European
modern man? Why doesn’t he rise up against the multiculturalist elites and at
least attempt to inflict some damage or contribute to seize power on behalf of
himself, his family and his people? Many state leaders around the world are
puzzled over how little resistance the European elites are getting in their
attempts to completely demographically reshape Europe.
Even the Russian president, Vladimir Putin knows exactly what is going on as he
has publicly stated in the past:
“Western Europe is heading in a direction where they are going to become
colonies of their former colonies”.
So why is it that ordinary Europeans (especially women) fail to see what is
going on when even state leaders publicly ponders. Luckily more and more
Europeans are realising the truth but many still asks themselves; who is to
blame for this?
-
Why do Europeans lack cultural and political self confidence to prevent its own
suicide?
-
Is it genetical and a way nature is saying that Europeans are not “fit to exist”
or is it just due to decades of excessive decadence?
Certainly not. Historically, Germanians, Anglo-Saxons and other European peoples
have fought viciously and courageously against Roman occupation for several
centuries until they were finally pushed out. My own ancestors, the Vikings,
were known to be the most vicious and brutal warriors of the age and would raid
significantly more developed cultures even when outnumbered 10 to 1. Instead of
looking at genes we will find the answer if we look at the psychological
condition of the modern European.

How did we end up as cowardly eunuchs applauding our own cultural and
demographical demise?
The essence is that the US but especially W. Europe lost the cold war due to the
fact that we didn't persecute the Marxists after WW2. If we had executed each
and every Marxist and banned Marxist doctrines (not only the economical aspects
but the cultural as well – internationalism, extreme feminism, extreme
egalitarianism, anti-elitism, anti-nationalism) we would not be in the current
situation. Instead, our traitorous and weak minded post-WW2 leaders allowed the
Marxists to gradually infiltrate many aspects of society after WW2, especially
our universities and the media (see the beginning of book 1 for a complete
overview of how this happened). The first ML pioneers (Marxist Leninists) were
allowed to indoctrinate the 68 generation, those who run things
today. The political correctness of today is
cultural Marxism as we learned in the first chapters of this compendium. Smaller
European nations are now mimicking France, Germany and the UK who unfortunately,
due to the outcome of WW2, are completely culturally dominated by the US. The
reason for this lack of "self esteem" is the absence of nationalism/nationalist
monocultural political doctrines and we all know what killed nationalism in
Europe. Hitler’s insane, genocidal and imperialistic doctrines have resulted in
the post-war situation where nationalist doctrines altogether were branded as
evil. In other words, that man contributed to completely annihilate the
legitimacy and future justification of nationalistic doctrines for several
decades to come. Today, even using the word “nationalist” will involve certain
stigma thanks to 5 decades of anti-nationalist brainwashing campaigns. These
pro-multiculturalist campaigns are nothing more than psychological brainwashing
campaigns demonising anything nationalistic initiated by individuals, groups or
political parties. As we all know, nationalism represents many of the cultural
defences a civilisation has. When you deconstruct these defences the natural
result will be that you are allowing your country to become vulnerable to
cultural influence or even cultural and demographical conquest as we see today.
Nationalism is now gradually but slowly on the rise again in Europe primarily
due to Islamisation but is still systematically demonised by the current EUSSR +
US cultural hegemony.
So there you have it. Europe is heading towards cultural and demographical
suicide due to the absence of nationalistic doctrines. Nationalism is the
anti-thesis of multiculturalism/internationalism. In order for nationalism to
succeed, multiculturalism must be deconstructed and vice versa. The cultural
Marxists/humanists/globalists will do EVERYTHING in their power to prevent
nationalists from succeeding as we have witnessed now for several decades.
Campaigns of psychological warfare (anti-nationalism) have been integrated into
the school curriculums and all intellectual public frameworks. Europeans have
been psychologically conditioned into a state of denial and self contempt. A
majority of Europeans are therefore in a permanent state of psychological
trauma, some nationalities more than others.
The most severely affected are of course the Germans and the Nordic countries;
Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Finland and Denmark. The justification for demonising
their forefathers is a mixture of portraying the evil crusaders, the evil
colonisers/enslavers and of course Nazi Germany’s policies of nordicism. The
clear message from our cultural elites is that we are by definition evil and
unworthy of life. And that we will do the world a big favor by contributing to
our own extermination through third world colonisation. The self loathing runs
deep through most aspects of society. To quote one of the most influential
professors in Norway, Thomas Hylland Eriksen[1]:
“Our (the Marxist elites of Europe) most important task ahead is to deconstruct
the majority, and we must deconstruct them so thoroughly that they will never be
able to call themselves the majority again”.
Later quote
“This will contribute to understanding and liberation”
The problem in our societies isn’t primarily that individuals like Eriksen
exists (and believe me, every country has their share of these highly
influential anti-nationalist intellectuals) but rather that they are allowed
unrestricted access to broadcasting networks, state channels, the main stream
media in general to spread their hate-speech. They are allowed this access
because 80% of politicians and 98% of journalists (category A and B traitors)
are aiding and abetting them in the ongoing genocide. This while people like
myself, who are trying to warn people of this extremist hate speech, are
systematically ignored and demonised as, guess what; racist, fascist extremists…
It is nothing less than insane and it borders to an advanced level of
psychopathic absurdity. A majority of Europeans are still susceptible to this
brainwashing although this is gradually changing.
As you might already know I have used Facebook to build my network of like
minded individuals. During this process I have targeted and reviewed multiple
right wing pan-European/international FB groups and taken a closer look at the
ratio concerning nationality vs. political correctness. By evaluating the
numbers from given countries I have been able to determine the severity level of
each country when it comes to the success ratio of the Marxist/multiculturalist
brainwashing campaigns. The following overview will list the least affected
countries (100 will indicate; relatively unaffected) to the most affected (0). I
have taken language barriers into account so the overview should be
representative.

Germany is helpless and unable to defend itself culturally
My 2 year Facebook study proves that the above indications are correct. There is
a very clear relevance of the various national direct/indirect indoctrination
campaigns and the given state of “visible” patriotism in those countries. The
visible presense of patriots (individuals flagging patriotic views through
voluntary Facebook labels (political views) and group/fan memberships) is
directly linked to the severity of that nations indoctrination campaigns. In
reality, we (Germans especially) are collectively held responsible for all the
bad things in the world which explains our current mentality of self loathing.
Specific findings
I found approximately 50 significant patriotic British Facebook groups and 40
French groups but I only managed to find less than 10 German groups even with
the assistance of my patriotic German Facebook contacts. The number of
individuals from each country being members of the average patriotic group
(adjusted for language related factors) correlates to the group comparison. The
difference is so significant that it undisputably confirms the miserable state
of German patriotism. This again is directly linked to the severity of the
German cultural Marxist indoctrination campaigns (the American military presence
and the paralyzing Jewish Holocaust religion is a part of this picture). Germany
is in a league of its own as its
people has undergone a severe and historically unparalleled indoctrination the
last 6 decades. Germany is now simply unable to build a political defence
against Islamisation and cultural Marxism/ multiculturalism due to this ongoing
state of psychological trauma and paralysis. Extra responsibility to continue
consolidation and development of our patriotic resistance movements therefore
lies on the peoples of other nations than Germany and especially the patriots in
the UK and France. This is ultimately why I have chosen my current path; to join
a pan-European military order instead of a national organisation and to offer
intellectual resources to especially my English brothers and sisters. Because by
helping and supporting the National resistance movements in the the UK and
France we indirectly help our own smaller countries. I believe that the key to
freedom in Europe is directly linked to the developments in especially the UK
and France. Nationalists from the rest of Europe look to British and French
nationalists for inspiration and guidance.
How does this multiculturalist indoctrination manifest itself?
With exception of the common symptoms such as self denial, self hate etc. the
perhaps most important effect is that people are terrified of flagging their
political views and general opinions in public or in social gatherings. The
various groups people join (or do not join) on Facebook is a good indicator on
how bound individuals feel by the shackles of political correctness. Several
recent polls show that Europeans are most concerned about what effects Islam
will have on their societies in the future. They are truly afraid with good
reason. These concerns even surpassed the alleged threat of global warming. So
you would think that a majority of these individuals are members of Facebook
groups such as Stop Islamisation of Europe – SIOE or similar groups. My research
shows very clearly however that people are terrified of flagging their views
relating to these issues due to political correctness. SIOE only has 5000
members as of December 2009 while trivial and quite silly groups have hundreds
of thousands, even millions of supporters. Political correctness has paralyzing
effects resulting in that the large majority of people avoid flagging their
standpoints.
However, people are starting to get immune against accusations of racism. This
trend will continue thanks to inflation of the word and an excellent effort made
by right wing political activists in spreading the truth about Islam and other
issues through blogs and other platforms. The truth is finally getting out
gradually to an increasing number of Europeans. The Islamisation is in fact
acting as a cure for psychological trauma, waking up an increasing number of
Europeans from their coma.
We are slowly realising how our own elites have betrayed us and continue to do
so. We are learning that they are systematically selling the European peoples
into Muslim slavery as they continue to allow the ongoing demographic warfare,
launched by the Global Islamic Ummah. They even expect us to cheer our own
extermination.
"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated
and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs
nothing to be a patriot."
Mark Twain
Many Europeans put restraints on themselves because they think it’s still hope;
hope to solve our problems democratically. This leads to hesitation and delays
them from joining resistance movements. Europeans needs to understand that there
is no hope of solving our problems through our elected parliamentarians. The
sooner people realise this, the sooner they will be able to contribute to solve
our core problems. Our survival depends upon it.
An increasing number of Europeans will learn in the coming two decades
that the only realistic approach to saving our identities, cultures, traditions
and even nations will be to contribute in various ways in the emerging European
Resistance Movements. 7 out of the 8 resistance fronts are non-violent. As of
now, in phase 1,
most people refrain from reacting through armed resistance since they live in
economic prosperity, and to stand up for their ideas would send them into
suffering. However, soon enough we will have an economic collapse that will make
the current recession look like a picnic. And then, ordinary citizens will face
suffering day in and day out. And at that point standing up for their ideas
through armed struggle will come at no extra cost. We will reach this stage in
phase 2 of the European civil war (2030-2070).

By Fjordman
At the Center for Security Policy, Caroline Glick writes about “Surviving in a
Post-American World”:
Like it or not, the United States of America is no longer the world’s policeman.
This was the message of Barack Obama’s presidential journey to Britain, France,
the Czech Republic, Turkey and Iraq this past week.
Somewhere between apologising for American history — both distant and recent;
genuflecting before the unelected, bigoted king of Saudi Arabia; announcing that
he will slash the US’s nuclear arsenal, scrap much of America’s missile defence
programs and emasculate the US Navy; leaving Japan to face North Korea and China
alone; telling the Czechs, Poles and their fellow former Soviet colonies, “Don’t
worry, be happy,” as he leaves them to Moscow’s tender mercies; humiliating
Iraq’s leaders while kowtowing to Iran; preparing for an open confrontation with
Israel; and thanking Islam for its great contribution to American history,
President Obama made clear to the world’s aggressors that America will not be
confronting them for the foreseeable future.
Whether they are aggressors like Russia, proliferators like North Korea, terror
exporters like nuclear-armed Pakistan or would-be genocidal-terror-supporting
nuclear states like Iran, today, under the new administration, none of them has
any reason to fear Washington.
I remember when the Iranian ex-Muslim Ali Sina, author of Understanding
Muhammad, compared the personality cult surrounding Barack Obama to that of
Fascist leaders. This might seem exaggerated, but there is definitely a
personality cult surrounding Obama which is unprecedented and deeply unhealthy.
His Marxist economic policies and his bow for the Saudi King are disturbing. I
never liked Bush very much, but Obama’s appeasement of the Islamic world trumps
anything seen since the days of Dhimmi Carter, and worse is to come.
Less than eight years after the Jihadist attacks on the
USA, a President raised as a Muslim with the middle name “Hussein” hails Islam’s
great contributions to American and Western culture. The USA currently looks
more like a defeated nation than the world’s sole remaining superpower. It’s the
only nation in history where the majority of the population has elected a member
of an organisation known for hating the majority population of that country.
My conclusion from 2008 still stands: Americans will soon
have their hands full with problems of their own and will be in no position to
assist anybody even if they wanted to. Europeans can and should maintain good
relations and cooperate with ordinary North American citizens, who live under
the same Multicultural regime as we do, but we cannot and should not rely on aid
from the American elites. They are as hostile as the EU elites.
“But we cannot and should not rely on aid from the American elites”
It's never been at matter of choice for Europe to rely on aid from America.
Since the world order installed in the wake of WWII it's been a matter of
staying put and obeying to the world order. Any kind of European vitality has
been suppressed under this American hegemony (see Serbia-Milosevic and
Austria-Haider). You have already heard all the arguments about this from across
the Atlantic: European nationalism is the root of all evil, European vitality
will only lead to endless wars etc. And the American reverse of Obama is not
much of a comfort. The more American nationalism grows, the more anti-European
and anti-Russian it becomes. Ralph Peters is a good example.
The Europe right-wing Americans see today and disdain is wholly a creation of
America herself. The leaders of Europe are nothing but marionettes of the
current America-led world order. But this insight has also more and more emerged
among the right-wing Americans, now that the true face of (political) America
manifestly come to its closure with Obama. But aren't there all these Americans
who do not at all support Obama? Yes, and they are like Ralph Peters.
The reason that we find a strong conservatism in America and not in Europe is
that American conservatives are not at all conservative but liberals to the
core; French Revolution egalitarians and PC addicts with fear of "racism", etc.
European conservatism is of a essentially different kind, and totally
unacceptable under the current world order. In the American mythology, which is
the foundation for our current civilisational paradigm, the old pre-WWI Europe
is the worst of the evils, much worse than Communism of fascism. After all
Wilson and Roosevelt understood and respected Lenin and Stalin. It was the old
(and vital!) Europe that was Satan itself in their eyes.
The current American troops in Germany
But these American delusions had to come to and end, and thank you Obama for
executing it. As long as America has troops in Germany there is no choice for
Europe about whom to rely on. By the voice of overwhelming military force we are
just forced to stay put and shut up and keep our traitorous marionettes; since
America sees European vitality as the most evil thing in this world, Germany
will be the last place they will withdraw from. But at least the whole thing is
in motion now.
It will be a chaos. After all America has shouldered the legacy of the British
empire as the world police (Never as good since America has never been able to
create order. Only to maintain it. Once it's been lost it's lost, because of
America's perpetual impotence). But changes hurt, even good and necessary
changes.
“Europeans can and should maintain good relations and cooperate with ordinary
North American citizens”
Agreed. But both Americans and Europeans have a lot to learn about their real
roots and identity. We will go through many phases, of which the initial ones
will be partially phony. America as a polity is scr*wed, and thank the gods for
that. Americans as a people, though, has a substance to search back for. The
same applies to Europeans. But unlike the Americans we have an advantage of
having our nations readily available just under the surface of the prevailing
delusion (the thing that the Obamas and Ralph Peters fear and think is the root
of all evil in this world).
Further comment
What culpability do Europeans themselves share in the bullying by the United
States? I've always believed that bullying requires the co-operation of the
person being bullied. For example, recently a German friend was complaining to
me about how GM wouldn't let Opel be bought by the Germans and made independent,
at the behest of the US government. I remember thinking, "Well, stick up for
yourselves!" Same thing with the Swiss banking issue recently. What if the Swiss
simply said, "No, we like our banking laws just the way they are,
thankyouverymuch," instead of changing them?
What if Angela Merkel or her predecessors actually tried to get the US out of
Germany? What's stopping her now, in light of limp-wristed Obama recently being
elected?
America, the most powerful European country
America and Europe should not be seen as two separate and opposing entities, but
two things in symbiosis. America is indeed a Christian European nation (in
exile), and continuing the legacy of the European history of the Enlightenment.
America is indeed the Empire of the Enlightenment; the Leftist Empire. And
anyone being in doubt about such a statement should consider how America was the
first European country to introduce a 100% income tax, and to elect someone
raised as a Muslim to become president, etc. A Leftist empire will always be in
denial about being an empire at all, as America evidently is.
And there we come to the second way in which Europeans are culpable. Europe
found it very convenient to accept America as the new leader and its new role as
the irresponsible teenager. Surely there is the trauma of the two world wars as
a background for this. But there is even more the ideology from the
Enlightenment. The Europeans accepted willingly to surrender to the American
military, which has protected Europe ever since, is calling the shots and the
setup of an "eternal" (organised) peace in Europe with no more wars.
But these were entirely different Europeans than the ones that had been running
the show up until WWI. This old ruling class had been wiped out in a
collaboration between America and the ideological movements of European
socialists/liberals.
For example, recently a German friend was complaining to me about how GM
wouldn't let Opel be bought by the Germans and made independent, at the behest
of the US government. I remember thinking, "Well, stick up for yourselves!"
You are speaking of traitorous European marionette leaders under the current
world order. And of the most wing-clipped nation of them all: Germany. They will
never stick up for themselves, i.e. for their people (under the current cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist regime).
What if Angela Merkel or her predecessors actually tried to get the US out of
Germany? What's stopping her now, in light of limp-wristed Obama recently being
elected?
I always come back to Gaventa's power theory and his three levels (dimensions)
of power, where at the third level the oppressee is not even conscious about
being oppressed, and has no concept of her own self-interest. Angela Merkel, as
the other European leaders, is fully caught in this Matrix. Germany even more
so, since the anti-German hatred by the "world community" won't accept even a
teeny weeny sign of vitality from the Germans.
So as in any power relation, it all comes down to obeying the superior military
might. That is, as long as there is this high military presence of American
troops in Germany, Germany is afraid to do what is needed. America, being a
Leftist Empire, is of course in denial about at all being an empire, and the
oppressive nature of its actions, and how it’s all built on raw military power.
So not only does Germany chose to obey the command of America, it has to pretend
that it is a friendly relationship.
... we cannot and should not rely on aid from the American elites. They are as
hostile as the EU elites.
And both of these traitorous groups deserve the same fate. Instead, it is more
likely that the bulk of America's and Europe's citizenry will necessarily suffer
Islam's continued predations until the tipping point is reached.
The tipping point will come when living with Muslims becomes more
trouble than living without Muslims. You can bet the farm that
this point will be reached. Islam assures this outcome and there is very little
that Muslim nations can do to avert it. They have neither the strategic
resources nor sufficiently developed military doctrine to prevail over an
aroused and angry West.
The only variables that remain are exactly how many Westerners will have to die
before the tipping point is reached and the number of Muslims that will die as a
result of that tipping point being reached. Any delays only serve to up the
butcher's bill on both sides.
Slow jihad is not invasive enough to overcome the West before it crosses the
threshold of military reprisal for continuing Islamic atrocities. Islam's
inherently radical nature prohibits the creation of any stasis or uneventful
interregnum whereby slow jihad can prevail.
Non-practising Muslims are incapable of preventing further terrorist atrocities
and such heinous crimes will assuredly expand in scope so as to inevitably bring
down the West's wrath upon Islam. Of that you can be sure.

How do the majority of cultural conservatives view the current state of the
European royal families and their future? What is the attitude towards the
institution of Monarchy in general? Does it have a future, perhaps even an
extended role under a cultural conservative government?
The constitution of most European countries declares that the various
governments of Europe and the commander in chief of the military forces are
vested in the specific king or queen.
More democratic than republic
The king or queen of a country is more democratic than a president ever could be
because he or she represents all citizens. An elected president would owe his
selection to a political faction, and this would publicly divide him from many
of his countrymen and would make his claim to represent "the people" less
convincing. Frequent selections of presidents would interrupt the continuity
essential for an effective head of a country. An elected president will always
be partisan, whereas a monarch will not be. The king/queen and her heirs have
been trained from birth for one vocation -- that of discharging the duties of
sovereign of the country. Therefore, they are the only citizens fit to assume
this important position.
Most of the world's democracies are constitutional monarchies, whereas the
majority of undemocratic nations in the world are republics. Of course there are
exceptions. Such nations as France, and the USA are democratic republics, but by
far, the majority of republics are undemocratic. The residual powers of the
King/Queen make the monarchy more democratic. The king/queen for example, has
the power to dismiss a prime minister who is doing something illegal or is
tampering with the democratic machinery in the country. Upon the dismissal, the
king/queen can call a quick election to promote democracy.
Monarchical Government
Constitutional monarchy alone is capable of integrating the executive,
legislative and judicial functions of government. The crown's authority lends a
universal legitimacy to the many particular decisions made by and at different
levels of government. Constitutional monarchy allows the celebration of public
social events, such as the marking of collective anniversaries and the bestowal
of honours, theoretically at least to be free of the taint of partisan politics.
In a world of rapid social change, where there is a price to be paid for
uncertainty, be that price only economic, constitutional monarchy provides
continuity, especially at time of political transition. As well, the monarchy
gives each country a distinctive political system at a time of strong
international trade, social and cultural influences.
Monarchy for the 21st Century
Most of the stable and prosperous democracies in the world today are
constitutional monarchies. On the other hand, most of the unstable countries in
the contemporary world are republics, many of which have overthrown their
monarchies. There is a sense of easy communication between monarchy and people,
which politicians by nature are unable to develop. Citizens participate fully in
their king or queens life; they are involved in their activities during
home-comings and through the media. The colour and ceremony which surround the
monarchy attract the interest of the citizens, especially young people, in our
process of government. Through their office and person, the king/queen reflects
a civilised cultural character that embodies nationalism.
When Monarchies themselves start to propagate multiculturalism and Islamisation
A majority of European cultural conservatives are royalists (I would say perhaps
70% or more). However, in recent decades many are increasingly annoyed by
certain factors. Recent developments confirm that some of our royal families
(some more than others) are not acting in the interest of their country and
people but instead choose a line of appeasement and acceptance towards new
multicultural and politically correct doctrines without as much as criticising
this new political line. The European Christian monarchs are in fact
Christian heads of state and have a
responsibility to at least criticise the continuous de-Christianisation of their
respective countries. Yet, they do not. The European Christian monarchs are in
fact the leaders (at least symbolically) of European civilisation and should be
on the forefront to criticise the evil European hate-ideology known as
multiculturalism which sole purpose is to destroy European traditions, cultures,
identities, Christendom, and nation-states. They openly rejected another
hate-ideology (National Socialism) so why do they support multiculturalism so
vividly? Is it just bad judgment or is it treason?
Will the European monarchies survive the civil war?
To turn the problematic around: if multiculturalism is allowed to play its
course everything European will slowly erode, the monarchy included. A country
with a majority of Muslims will never accept a Christian monarch and will most
likely support a republic or at least demand that the king/queen convert or
become an atheist. As for the survival of the European monarchies throughout
phase 1 through 3 it really depends on which family you are referring to. There
are a few families that are quite cultural conservative (the Danish and Spanish
house is worth noting) while other families seem to support a cultural Marxist
political direction. The British and Norwegian royal house in particular seem to
support and cheer a cultural Marxist line (multiculturalism). They seem to have
no objection against the ongoing destruction of European traditions, cultures,
identities, Christendom, and nation-states. They have chosen to be very
accommodating towards the cultural Marxist elites. As an illustration; the
British Royal family has built an Islamic prayer room in the Royal castle after
pressure from the Labour Party and other multiculturalist parties.
As we all know the monarchy has a very important function in European societies.
It should uphold and be an embodiment of the traditions and values of the
country. In Britain the House of Lords remained after the constitutional
monarchy was formed to ensure the preservation of such traditions and values
from generation to generation through the family lines of their members. When
Tony Blair got rid of the system of hereditary peers sitting in the House of
Lords, supposedly in the name of democracy, he did it to undermine these
traditions and values, and replaced the hereditary peers with sycophants and
several Muslims. Baroness Warsi, for example, is a Muslim of Pakistani
parentage.
Sadly, the Queen has stood by and watched all this happen without breathing a
word in opposition. One must therefore consider that this is for either one of
two reasons:
1.
She is afraid that she will be the next to go.
2. She is aiding and abetting the
destruction of British values and traditions.
Either way, she no longer does the job she is supposed to do and therefore
should be replaced. There would, in fact, already be a historical precedence for
such a replacement in the "Glorious
Revolution" of 1688. Queen Margarethe of Denmark on the other hand has had
the courage to speak out against the Islamisation of Europe.
The cultural conservative strategy ahead
As mentioned, a large majority of cultural conservatives are royalists. We want
to preserve a monarchy that upholds its sacred oath as protector and be an
embodiment of the traditions and values of the country. The Royal families that
willingly and even gladly support the European hate-ideology known as
multiculturalism will be replaced as soon as we, the cultural conservatives,
seize power. There might even be a scenario where a monarch (supportive of
cultural Marxism) decides to flee the country and chooses to reject our cultural
conservative rule. In this case, he or she will be replaced with the next
appropriate candidate in line of succession that is willing to continue to
support European values and traditions.
Britain has a relatively large
line of
succession so it will not prove to be that challenging to find suitable
candidates (cultural conservative). However, it might prove a lot more difficult
in countries like Norway where there are limited candidates.
Christian Frederik Carl Georg Valdemar Aksel was a Danish prince that was
elected to be the King of Norway in the period 1905-1957 under the name Haakon
VII. He was a member of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg
abbreviated the Glücksburg dynasty. An alternative would be to select a cultural
conservative candidate from either the Glücksburg or Bernadotte line. Other
relevant alternatives are the Oldenburg line. Personally, I would prefer to
genetically identify a suitable candidate from the Fairhair (Hårfagre) line. The
suitable family would in this case be “coached” by a neighbouring and willing
royal family for at least three years before a coronation could take place.
We must assume that a one, perhaps two of our European royal families will
betray their oath and reject our rule in the future after a coup. We must be
prepared to implement a concise strategy which preserves European monarchies.
European public welfare has a minor role regarding the ongoing suicide of
Europe. This is primarily a cultural fight between nationalism (Monoculturalism)
and internationalism (multiculturalism) and not an economical war between
capitalism and socialism.
Being right-wing and anti-Marxist does not mean you oppose the idea of a welfare
state. The Tory Party in Great Britain introduced the first pensions and the
first state medical care for the poor although it is commonly thought that the
socialists did it. Bismarck also contributed significantly to create a welfare
state and no one would call him a left winger.
The brutal truth of the matter is the following; a welfare state will work
perfectly well intertwined with capitalistic doctrines as long as the country is
monocultural/the social cohesion level is at an acceptable level. A welfare
state would never work in the US due to the lack of social cohesion, because
they have large minority groups who are allowed parallel cultures, norms and
ethics.
Blindly opposing welfare is an American neo-Con doctrine and has nothing to do
with nationalism. There are certain aspects of modern civilisation and common
decency which require degrees of state welfare. It is the way it is legislated
and managed which is crucial. Multiculturalism will always result in the
destruction of any welfare system because the majority will eventually disallow
excessive taxation in order to subsidise thousands or millions of poor people
with parallel and quite frankly inferior cultures and ethics.
Many right wing Americans live under the illusion that they won the cold war
simply because capitalism prevailed. Americans often forget to differentiate
socialism/welfare with Marxist internationalism but these set of doctrines are
two entirely different concepts. The ongoing European civil war is not a fight
between capitalism and socialism/welfare. It is a cultural war between
nationalism and internationalism. The European welfare systems have little to do
with the current cultural and demographical suicide of Europe. The main issue
here is the struggle between internationalism
(Marxism/multiculturalism/globalism) and nationalism (cultural conservatism).
Marxism/internationalism/globalism/multiculturalism is an ideology designed to
deconstruct European traditions, cultures, identities and even nation states
while nationalism is the anti-thesis. In order for the internationalists to
succeed they have combined this political deconstruction with mass-Muslim
immigration. Of course, motives vary. Globalist capitalists (like the Republican
Party) are supporting mass Muslim immigration for the cheap labour while the
Democratic Party (cultural Marxists) are supporting it for the votes.
A common misconception is that nationalism results
in backwardness and halts progress, science and any form of development. The
Marxists or capitalist globalists will say that you cannot stop or avoid
globalism/multiculturalism which is of course nothing more than propaganda.
Japan and South Korea proves very well that this statement is wrong. Both
nations are monocultural and at the same time very developed and are considered
two of the most successful countries.
But the US and other multicultural countries will without a doubt have a great
advantage due to the fact that they are allowing highly educated immigrants?
They will also gain a significant productivity level due to the fact that they
allow modern day slavery (productive immigrants working under minimum wage)?
First of all, very few countries actually have a strict entry policies and will
allow any and all depending on the fact that the candidate has higher education
or not. Australia and the US are, on the other hand, quite strict and usually
limit much of the immigration to these candidates.
However, the US does not have a welfare system so these immigrants will cost the
society minimal if they lose their job. Secondly, the majority of immigrants
accepted by most European countries are conservative Muslims with little or no
education. This forms a destructive mix considering that they get full access to
the welfare system.
Secondly, monocultural and highly developed countries such as Japan and South
Korea prove that a well organised school system (see school systems for the
future) will allow each country to develop enough professionals from their
country without having to import from third world countries. The current trend
of poaching highly educated foreign nationals is nothing more than a negative
spiral which delays essential school reforms. Instead of accepting a
dysfunctional school system by importing foreign nationals we intend to reform
the system quite drastically. This will also involve copying Japanese and South
Korean (old European) doctrines. These policies are actually our own as it is a
blue print of the English system which was in effect in the 1950s.
On a personal level, considering the fact that others might see me as an
anti-socialist elitist, considering the fact that I would like to see the
massive European public sectors reduced drastically from current 40-70% down to
25%. However, this is not up to me but rather up to the future nationalist
leadership of Europe. Furthermore, my loyalty to my nation and people surpasses
any of my secondary or tertiary anti-socialist objectives. After all, we are
fighting a war against internationalism, not against the European welfare state.
By Ohmyrus
Why should a welfare bum have the same one vote that a taxpayer has? Why should
a drug pusher have the same one vote as a Mother Theresa? Why should a school
dropout have the same one vote as a college professor?
The one man, one vote system gives everybody an equal say in how a country is to
be run. But obviously, each citizen contributes unequally to the society. Some,
like drug pushers, damage society. Others, like welfare bums, take resources
from society paid for by more diligent members. Given the unequal contributions,
why should everyone be given an equal right (one vote) to choose its leaders?
That is the question that I have always asked myself.
Don't get me wrong, I do not want to destroy democracy. I think that despite all
its faults, it is still the best form of government yet devised by man.
As Churchill once said, democracy is the worst form of government, except for
all the rest. Yet, there are problems with it which if not addressed may result
in the collapse of democracy. I wish to prolong its life by identifying its
problems and proposing possible solutions before the problems cause a system
failure.
This attitude may seem strange for, after the collapse of Communism, it appears
that democracy has finally triumphed. (3) It appeared to many including writers
like Francis Fukuyama that we have reached the end of History, meaning that we
have reached the final stage in the evolution of human society with democracy as
the best way to organise society.
In 1900, only a handful of countries were democracies, compared to 119 or 62 per
cent of the world today. US President George Bush wants to promote democracy in
the remaining places, confident of its appeal and justness. I am alone in the
wilderness trying to sound a warning that we should not be complacent. We have
been brought up to believe that each person has the right to one vote. Thus the
thought that some citizens should receive more votes than others is repugnant to
most of us.
Leaving aside the moral issue, let us instead analyze the economic and social
consequences that flow from this.
Before we begin, let me point out that politicians act like entrepreneurs or
businessmen. The only difference is that instead of earning money, they earn
votes. The businessman sells a product or service in exchange for dollars. The
politician sells himself for votes instead of money. Both will do a market
survey of the population and craft strategies designed to appeal to the buyers
or voters. To emphasise the similarity of businessmen and politicians, I will
from now on refer to politicians as "votreprenuers" or use the two words
interchangeably. As a result of the behaviour of votreprenuers, democracy has
the following flaws:
1) Democracy produces welfare states
The first thing a votreprenuer will notice in his market survey is that income
distribution does not follow a normal distribution. It is skewed to one side.
There are, simply put, more poor people than rich people. What this means is
that politicians can prosper at the ballot box by proposing redistributive
policies. The result is the welfare state and high taxes.
Benjamin Franklin puts it very beautifully and succintly. He said: 'Democracy is
two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.' (5)
The welfare state reduces the incentive to work and inhibits entrepreneurial
risk-taking. On top of that, labour friendly laws in Europe make it difficult to
fire workers, who already have very short working hours compared to Americans
and Asians. In some parts of Europe, the debilitating results can be clearly
seen. Unemployment in France and Germany is around 10 per cent. Of course, a
votreprenuer would not tell the truth to his voters by saying, "Vote for me and
you can be lazy because we will get the hardworking taxpayers to support you."
Instead, he would couch his sales speech in a manner that dulls their conscience
and makes them feel entitled to use their vote to transfer money from somebody's
wallet to their own. This creates a climate of entitlement and dependency which
is debilitating. These entitlements help the middle class more than the poor
because that is where most of the votes are. In the present system, the centre
of gravity of the electorate is Mr Average and this produces mediocre
government.
On top of this, dependency on a faceless government has social consequences. It
has eroded the ancient relationship between parents and children. For countless
generations, parents have depended on their children to provide for them in
their old age.
Now they depend on the government. Since children are no longer pension funds as
in the past and taxes being so high, people decide to have fewer of them. If you
look at the birth rates of Europe and Japan, you will find that they are below
replacement levels. Yet the young are still expected to provide for the old!
This time the provision is indirect - through the government in the form of
higher taxes and welfare payments to the old. As the population in modern
democracies ages, and with lower birth rates, it means that a shrinking working
population has to support the old.
Would it not be better to cut out the middleman? It would certainly shrink the
government bureaucracy if each retired person depended on his children in his
old age as in the past. It would give them greater incentive to have more
children and to raise them well which would also be beneficial to marriages. It
was reported in the Economist in 1988 that less than 1% of American poor consist
of people who are married, finished high school and held a job for at least a
year. (6) All it takes to stay above the poverty line a a little bit of effort
to get an education, be faithful to your spouse and keep a job. In other words,
all you need are the old fashioned virtues of diligence, discipline and fidelity
to one's spouse.
Nowadays, men find it easy to abandon their wives and children because they know
they won't starve. The state will take care of them. This could have contributed
to unstable marriages.
At the same time, the votreprenuers also notice that people hate paying taxes.
They want benefits from government but don't like contributing money. So to
cater for this market, they will promise tax cuts. The results are budget
deficits and soaring public debt.
If you look at the statistics, most of the OECD governments have huge budget
deficits. (1) As a whole, the OECD is running a combined budget deficit
amounting to a tad shy of 4 per cent of GDP. Much of it comes from the US which
has a budget deficit of about 5 per cent of GDP.
Japan is even worse at more than 6 per cent of GDP. Some economists have been
warning of economic collapse if something is not done. Sometimes, politicians
would inflate the money supply to pay for their deficit spending, resulting in
inflation. Other times, they would resort to government borrowing which results
in higher interest rates. Should there be an economic crash resulting in massive
unemployment or high inflation, confidence in democracy will plummet. Then
people will be ready to put power in the hands of a dictator. That was one
reason why Hitler got into power.
2) Democracy produces short-term
thinking
The second thing votreprenuers notice is that they face elections once every
four or five years. This means that they cannot afford to take a long term view
of things. Politicians know that their time in office is limited. To stay in
office, they come up with policies that are popular in the short run even though
they know are disastrous in the long run. I am sure you have heard of the
saying, "No pain, no gain."
Democracies are incapable of delivering short term pain for long term gain. They
tend to do the opposite, ie, deliver short term gain at the expense of long term
pain. The growing government debt in the US and other democracies is a good
example of this. To satisfy this present generation of voters, politicians are
making future generations pay the bill. The unborn of course cannot vote. The
result of one man one vote is higher taxes, interest rates, inflation rates and
government spending.
Part of the problem is that there is a misalignment between the personal
interests of the politicians with that of the country as a whole. The
votrepreneurers want to get elected by hook or by crook. Sometimes, the policies
he promotes are damaging in the long term even though popular in the short term.
Of course, eventually, the chickens will come home to roost some day, but he
won’t be in office by then!
If you ask me, I think the monarchies of the 19th century Europe were better
macroeconomic managers than the democratically elected politicians of the 20th
century. Statistics show that interest rates, taxes and inflation were on the
whole lower. So was government debt as a share of the GDP. (2)
The reason is simple. The monarchs and nobles were confident of being in power
for the rest of their lives and they wanted their sons to inherit the thrones of
prosperous countries. So they tended to think more for the long term. It should
also be added that most of the European monarchs of that era did not have
absolute power and had to cater to popular opinion. If they provoke them too
much, they will lose their heads - literally like Louis XVI.
This balance between royal prerogatives and popular pressure gave rise on the
whole to better macroeconomic management. The former gave a long term
perspective to decision making and the latter checked the power of the monarchs,
preventing Saddam Hussein type leaders from emerging.
3) Democracy has a tendency to divide
people
For votreprenuers to win power, they must at least pretend to fight for
the market segments of voters that they deem are sufficient to secure
victory on election day. Some will fight for one ethnic group or the other.
Others fight for different income groups. Some try to court the lower income
vote by promising unemployment benefits while others fight for the higher income
groups by promising tax cuts.
Still others court the elderly voters. Then there are the social issues. Some
are conservative and religious while others are secular and liberal. Thus we see
rich pitted against the poor, liberals against the conservatives and racial
groups against each other. There is no incentive for a votrepreneurs to take an
overall view for the good of the country as a whole. He is constrained by his
need for re-election to satisfy his voting base that sent him to office. The
people will develop a 'me first' mentality without thinking about the good of
the country as a whole.
Antagonism between economic classes and different ethnic groups can be exploited
and turned into votes for the votrepreneurs. Instead of cooling the passions of
the people, they are more likely to fan them so as to pose as their champions.
Often these lead to riots. In France this year, there were two riots - one
economic in nature and the other racial though there was some overlap. In the
first riot, people were protesting a new French law making it easier for
employers to fire young workers on probation.
The second riot was racial and religious in nature. Ethnic North Africa
minorities who are Muslim rioted for many days. Race, language and religion
divide people into groups. The presence of each element increases tension.
Tensions are at their greatest if all three elements are different between two
groups and lowest if only one is present between two different groups.
But whether the tension level is high or low, it needs to be managed.
But instead of managing tensions, votreprenuers heighten them to win votes.
Hitler won votes and power by unfairly blaming the Jews for Germany's problems.
When dictator Tito was in power, Yugoslavia was in one piece with ethnic
tensions well managed. But when democracy came to Yugoslavia, politicians posed
as champions for their own ethnic groups by fanning grievances and demonising
others. The result was a civil war.
Summing up, democracy suffers from three weaknesses - its penchant for
redistributive policies, short-term thinking and ethnic discord. These
weaknesses are already present in varying degrees in most mature democracies of
the western world. At present, none are in danger of collapse. But as time goes
by, the danger will grow.
In the case of America, there is a huge budget deficit that threatens to
destabilise not only its economy but also the world economy, given America's
share of the world GDP. Its growing minorities, both legal and illegal, have the
potential to create discord if ethnic tensions are not properly managed.
But it is the Socialist countries like France -- with their combination of
redistributive policies and ethnic tensions created by short-term thinking
politicians -- that are in greatest danger of a collapse of democracy. France
has a Muslim population amounting to 10 per cent of its total population. The
Muslims are of a different race, speak a different language and have a different
religion than the other Frenchmen.
This makes the problem more serious than, say, the ethnic tensions between
blacks and white in America where the only difference is one of race. Also,
France has an unemployment rate of 10 per cent, with many of the unemployed
being Muslims. The recent riots may be the first shots of a civil war. The day
may not be far off for a French version of Adolf Hitler as ethnic tensions
increase.
I foresee that European Muslims will within in the next 20 years demand
autonomous regions in cities where sharia law rules. This will provoke the
"classical" Europeans who feel their way of life being threatened and there will
be a backlash. The people will fall prey to racists groups who of course will
promise to defend their way of life. While it took a long time for Europeans to
learn to settle their differences peacefully through the ballot box, this
important lesson is slowly being unlearned. The lesson learned from the Danish
cartoon affair is that violence pays.
Most western governments caved in by issuing apologies or condemning the
cartoons instead of defending free speech. Soon groups that oppose immigration
will turn to violence too. If European democracies cannot manage their ethnic
tensions, democracy will break down, ushering in dictatorial rule.
How then should democracy be reformed? We must build a system that balances
popular demands with long term thinking. There must also be a system that
matches the right to vote with the amount of contribution the voter makes to
society. If this sounds elitist, then I am in good company.
The early founding fathers of America were elitist too, especially men like
Alexander Hamilton. They restricted voting to those with property, who were then
the educated part of the population and who probably paid most of the taxes.
Being men of property, they had a stake in the country's long term future and
could be relied on to take a longer term view. Even as late as 1824, only 5 per
cent of adult Americans could vote in the Presidential elections. (4)
Don't get me wrong. I am not advocating restricting voting to rich people. But I
do advocate striking a proper balance between competing needs. I have thought
out some reforms which I believe will improve the situation.
Firstly, I propose that the Senate or Upper House be comprised of people that
are elected for life and their personal interests be more closely aligned with
that of the nation. Once made a Senator, he is no longer subjected to popular
pressures that produce short term thinking. The Senator can only be removed if
he commits a crime or is incapacitated. The House of Representatives will
continue as before and its members be subjected to periodic elections.
The elected Senators should be paid in accordance to his 'market rate'. This
effectively means he should be paid the income he has to forgo as a result of
going into politics. Salaries will be adjusted for economic growth. Bonuses will
be given if certain economic benchmarks (eg unemployment, inflation, GDP growth)
are attained. These benchmarks can be reviewed once every 10 years, say.
To further ensure long term thinking, his salary will continued to be paid into
his estate for 10 years after his demise.
By making the Senate a life-time job, we ensure a balance between short term
demands of the electorate and long term needs. We ensure a balance between the
voters of today with the voters yet to be born. Our huge budget deficits and
government debt is putting a burden on future generations who have no vote at
present. It is unfair to saddle them with so much debt. Present voters are
effectively taxing their children and grandchildren so that they can enjoy a
profligate lifestyle.
The second proposal I have is that we make the vote transferable to other
citizens. Each voter can buy or sell votes through an electronic marketplace for
votes. The logic is like this. Votreprenuers are already buying votes with
taxpayers' money by promising all sorts of government programs that will benefit
this or that constituency. Why not allow the voters to do it directly without
going through the middleman? Why can't voters buy votes when politicians are
already doing that, in effect?
There will still be redistribution of income from the haves to the have-nots but
without going through an often inefficient government bureaucracy. There will be
tax savings from cutting out the middleman. This is what I think will happen in
practice: The higher-income groups will end up with more votes since they have
money to spend. But so will groups passionate about certain causes.
They will use the votes to curb government spending and lower taxes to benefit
themselves. They will also balance the budget because they know it is
unsustainable and eventually ruinous to their stock and bond portfolios.
But the have-nots will be compensated with cash. After some trial and error, a
balance will be reached in which the losses from government entitlement programs
will be approximately equal to the sales proceeds of their votes. Without
welfare spending, welfare bums will have more incentive to look for jobs and
improve their skills - even after selling their votes.
It is time to subject the electoral process to some sort of market discipline
which my proposal will allow. The end result is that the balance of power tilts
more towards the above average. These members of society who for usually good
reasons are better educated, more successful and generate more GDP per head.
They also are people who are more talented, more diligent, more focused on the
long term. Successful people also tend to have more stable marriages. Under the
present system, people who are more disciplined, contribute more to the country
and work harder are taxed more to help those more indolent, more irresponsbile
and contribute less.
Under the present system, votreprenuers have electoral incentives to market
their services to another group of people - the old. Under the present system,
retirees are supported by the state. In the US you have Social Security. This
means that you no longer need your children to support you in your old age. The
state will support you. In other words, you are relying on other people's
children to support you.
But everybody has the same idea of relying on other people's children. Those who
take the effort and money to raise good productive citizens are doing it for the
benefit of others. They will be paying into Social Security and supporting some
faceless strangers. The end result is that couples have fewer children and you
end up with fewer working people to support retirees. This is happening not just
in the US but also in other democracies.
It violates the millennium old practice of relying on our own offspring for our
old age. It also violates a very good principle - you should be rewarded based
on your own efforts. Relying on your own children for your old age may also have
a beneficial effect on marriages as people have a financial incentive to
maintain a harmonious household to raise their kids - since their own kids are
their Social Security. People will think three times before they cheat on their
spouses as this will endanger their marriages.
Under the present system, people who are very passionate with their issues and
people who are apathetic on the issues have one vote each. Under my proposed
changes, those who believe passionately in their issues be it the environment or
abortion can pay for more votes.
People who are passionate on the issues tend to be better informed since they
have done sufficient research and would vote more wisely than those who are
apathetic on the whole electoral process. Even in an US Presidential election,
usually less than 70% of eligible voters bother to vote. Those not interested
might as well sell their vote to those who are interested. This proposal, I
believe will shift the centre of gravity of the electorate to Mr Above Average,
which should produce more intelligent government.
The third proposal is that the President's term of office be increased to a
single term of eight years. This would free him from the need to seek
re-election and permits him to think long term. Without worrying about
re-election, it is in his self interest to ponder what history will say of him
and this will result in better decision making.
To sum up, we should not become complacent about democracy's future. There are
long festering and growing economic and ethnic problems which short term
thinking votreprenuers cannot solve. With the rise of India and China (with
their hardworking cheap labour), it is quite clear that the welfare state in
Europe and to a lesser extent in America cannot be sustained.
The rising tide of Muslim immigrants in Europe who refuse to assimilate and
adopt the culture of the host countries adds to the problems. A combination of
economic hardships and ethnic tensions set the stage for the collapse of
democracy and the emergence of another Strong Man, another Hitler perhaps. I am
sure nobody wants to see that happen. We should fix the problems while there is
still time. But I am not optimistic. To solve these problems requires long term
solutions and invariably short term pain which democracies cannot deliver.

While I admire your fervour for prolonging a dying country, I think you have to
accept the ultimate truth that it is a dying country. Like all things
living, countries have a finite life span, and they too must cease to exist. In
the case of America, the argument could easily be made that it ceased to exist
in its intended form a long time ago. What we have now is an America that
resembles its former self in appearance only, and even that is stretching it.
The sad truth is that the people who today proudly call themselves Americans
would run and hide from the level of freedom enjoyed by the earliest inhabitants
of the states. We are so conditioned to accept what the founders would have
abhorred that, much like Brooks in The Shawshank Redemption, we would
rather kill ourselves than taste freedom.
Democracy, Republic, democracy, republic. It doesn’t matter what name you give
it or whether you capitalise the word. That is merely semantics. What matters is
when the ball got rolling because the lives of nations are etched on a wheel.
There is a point where they begin and a point where they end. Granted, those
points are not always easily defined, particularly when it comes to the end.
After all, no one enjoys celebrating the end of something loved. But the freedom
enjoyed at the beginnings of this country will never be enjoyed again by its
citizens. The wheel has started turning. The end will most likely be beyond any
of our lifetimes, but it is coming.
Man enjoys all manner of rights. Governments are instituted to protect those
rights. Unfortunately, all governments operate under the greedy guise of helpers
when the wolves in sheeps’ clothing (votreprenuers) are really about solidifying
their own power. This is done through the usurpation of the peoples’ rights.
All rights exist in the ether, and all belong to the people. When the people
enter into a government, they voluntarily set aside a portion of those rights
for the good of society. The trouble is not that the balance never stays the
same. The trouble is that the flow of rights only happens from one side to the
other. (I’ll let you guess which direction that is and where they are being
stockpiled right now.)
Ever read The Firm? In that story, the shady law firm throws money at new
associates and gets them accustomed to the good life for a few years before they
tell them the truth about the dishonest business dealings. That’s how we’ve
gotten hooked as well. We’re comfortable with the way things are regardless of
how much we kick and scream about the guv’mint, and the votreprenuers know this.
They know they can continue to slowly chip away at our freedoms with our
permission and in front of our very eyes as long as they allow us the comfort of
the illusion of freedom.
It will continue this way because there cannot be a net gain in rights for us.
We started with all of them. The best we can hope for, and the position you seem
to take, is that we can reach a happy medium whereby we reach a steady state of
no net loss. But governments are tricky by their very nature. As you point out,
democracy thrives on short-term thinking. I’d refine that statement further to
say that government thrives on short-term thinking. Government rewards
the connivers and cheats, making it far unlikely that we can ever beat them at
the game of who gets to keep the rights.
Therefore, we’re faced with a dilemma. The government is a politically
capitalist entity. And despite our best efforts, we cannot match its efficiency
because we designed it to be ruthless in order to stave off all manner of
external and internal attacks. Unfortunately, in our haste to craft an
unbeatable system, we placed ourselves outside the wall. The citizens of America
have reached the point where we no longer can control the behemoth.
That’s why I believe you’re off base with attempting to salvage the current
system. It’s like trying to put toothpaste back into the tube. What we’re faced
with, and what most people will probably never acknowledge because it threatens
their illusion of America, is the realisation that we cannot turn back the
rolling wheel. It will continue to roll, and the best we can hope for is to slow
its acceleration toward death.
“It’s difficult to discuss deportation of Muslims openly in a society where it
is not even allowed to discuss Islam…”
The reason why authors on the Eurabia related issues/Islamisation of Europe -
Fjordman, Spencer, Ye’or, Bostom etc. aren’t actively discussing deportation is
because the method is considered too extreme (and thus would damage their
reputational shields). This would un-doubtfully undermine their work and
probably disallowing them to publish any future books. However, the warning
about Islam has been repeated for more than two decades and it is apparent that
40 more years of dialogue, without action, would have a devastating effect on
Europe. If these authors are to scared to propagate a conservative revolution
and armed resistance then other authors will have to.
Historical deportations from Europe
Greece - Muslim Cham Expulsion in 1944[3]
Following the conquest of Greece by Nazi Germany, the Italians, whose zone of
occupation included Epirus, recruited a large number of Muslim Cham citizens to
assist them. During the occupation, a significant number of Muslim Chams were
responsible for atrocities against ethnic Greeks. supporting the realisation of
a Greater Albania.
Cham Muslims alongside the Wehrmacht (NS Germany) also played a key role in the
Holocaust in Greece, rounding up 2000 Greek Jews and sending them to Auschwitz
and Birkenau
After WW2, 25 000 Muslim Albanian Chams were deported from Greece (Chameria).
These people were descendants of Cham “beys” (Muslim feudal lords under the
Islamic Ottoman Empire) who had earlier confiscated much land from their
non-Muslim subjects.
Deportation of Muslims from Israel
According to Israeli Professor Martin Van Crevel at the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem and military historian:
"The Palestinians should all be deported. The people who strive for this (the
Israeli government) are waiting only for the right man and the right time. Two
years ago, only 7 or 8 per cent of Israelis were of the opinion that this would
be the best solution, two months ago it was 33 per cent, and now, according to a
Gallup poll, the figure is 44 percent."
Creveld said he was sure that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon wanted to
deport the Palestinians.
"I think it's quite possible that he wants to do that. He wants to escalate
the conflict. He knows that nothing else we do will succeed."
Asked if he was worried about Israel becoming a rogue state if it carried out a
genocidal deportation against Palestinians, Creveld quoted former Israeli
Defence Minister Moshe Dayan who said "Israel must be like a mad dog, too
dangerous to bother."
Creveld argued that Israel wouldn't care much about becoming a rogue state.
"Our armed forces are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the
second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I
can assure you that this will happen before Israel goes under."

Deportation as the only alternative (Kosovo, Israel illustration)
A state that is much interested in the Kosovo precedent and history is Israel.
Up to 1987, Tel-Aviv controlled the situation in the West Bank and Gaza, having
being victorious in five consecutive wars against its Arab neighbours. The start
of the first Intifada, the population explosion of the Muslim Arabs, the
dramatic appearance of international Jihad, and the relative decline of the
Western (European) support to Israel poses a strategic-survival dilemma to the
Israeli policy makers:
Should they try to push towards a conciliation approach towards the Palestinians
and decide for a low key strategy against them; or to oppose all calls for
bargain and form a strategy of a total war? That was the same dilemma the
Serbians reached in the early ‘90’s. They first used tactic number one and it
failed. The second option was barely begun to be implemented in late 1998 and
would have yielded total success had it not been for the NATO air campaign in
1999. Note however that Kosovo is a province of the Serbian state therefore in
contrast with the Israelis the Serbians are not in fear of “Being driven to the
sea”. One certain conclusion is that countries such as Israel will invest
considerable intellectual capacity in making concrete analysis based on Kosovo’s
recent history.
Kosovo marks the first definite victory of European Islam since the occupation
of the island of Crete by the Ottomans in 1669. The difference was that then all
the major European powers fought in unity.
Historical examples of deportation:
1. Population transfer (deportations) in the Soviet Union[1]
Population transfer in the Soviet Union
may be classified into the following broad categories: deportations of
"anti-Soviet" categories of population, often classified as "enemies of
workers", deportations of nationalities, labour force transfer, and organised
migrations in opposite directions to fill the ethnically cleansed territories.
In most cases their destinations were under-populated remote areas, see
involuntary settlements in the Soviet Union. This includes deportations to the
Soviet Union of non-Soviet citizens from countries outside the USSR.

2. Russia wanted to deport the Muslims in Eastern Europe but was confronted and
stopped by the United Kingdom and others.
After the Russo-Turkish War, Russia wanted to deport the Muslim Albanians (they
had historically referred to themselves as Turks) and take back Constantinople.
During the Congress of Berlin - Russia presented 61 articles. At this time,
Russia was in a weakened state militarily after the long war with the Ottoman
Empire. Britain secretly agreed with the Ottoman Empire that it would militarily
protect it from Russia and receives Cyprus in exchange. Disraeli therefore
reversed article 16 to 61.
3. The Beneš decrees – The deportation
of Germans from Czechoslovakia (1940-45)[2]
It is possible that those Western countries where the infidels are strong enough
will copy the Benes Decrees from Czechoslovakia in 1946, when most of the
so-called Sudeten Germans, some 3.5 million people, had shown themselves to be a
dangerous fifth column without any loyalty to the state. The Czech government
thus expelled them from its land. As Hugh Fitzgerald of Jihad Watch has
demonstrated, there is a much better case for a Benes Decree for parts of the
Muslim population in the West now than there ever was for the Sudeten Germans.
4. The Bărăgan deportations[3]
The Bărăgan deportations were a large-scale action of penal
transportation, undertaken during the 1950s by the Romanian Communist regime.
Their aim was to forcibly relocate individuals who lived within approximately 25
km of the Yugoslav border (in present-day Timiş, Caraş-Severin, and Mehedinţi
counties) to the Bărăgan Plain.
The plans involved, as was later discovered in a document written in Timişoara
in 1956, the "purification of the Banat": the ethnic cleansing of Germans, Serbs
and Aromanians. Additionally, the plans involved the expulsion of members of
several social categories considered dangerous by the Romanian Communist Party.
Among the targets were farmers with large holdings (known as chiaburi,
and roughly equivalent to the Soviet kulaks), wealthy landowners,
industrialists, innkeepers and restaurant owners, Bessarabian and Macedonian
refugees, former members of the Wehrmacht, foreign citizens, relatives of the
refugees, Titoist sympathisers, wartime collaborators of Nazi Germany (see
Romania during World War II), Romanian Army employees, fired civil servants,
relatives of counter-revolutionaries and all who had supported them, political
and civic rights activists, former businessmen with Western ties, and leaders of
the ethnic German community.

5. Expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain[1]
(Muslim converts to Christianity)
Spain deported approximately 315 000 Moriscos to Northern Africa in the period
1609-1614.
I would strongly recommend anyone to study the Morisco expulsion at it covers
many essential issues.
1.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsion_of_the_Moriscos
Future food supply is essential
Most people underestimate the impact of high population vs. food supply. Being
dependant on too much food import is extremely risky and can prove to be
catastrophic for certain densely populated countries in a future scenario.
Britain will have approximately 70-80 million citizens in phase 2/3 of the civil
war. If logistics fail for various reasons millions might starve to death. Food
hunger and starvation will likely result in totally anarchy in certain areas of
the country.
Cultural conservatives should take precautionary steps and consider and reassess
the long term goals of your investment and educational strategy. Being a potato
farmer might be unattractive now but is likely to be extremely useful in the
future. When the financial system breaks down (and they will) you will always be
able to barter if you have access to primary commodities.
Deevaluation of educational strategies
A multitude of educations will have little value under given circumstances.
Still, I don't think it will happen within 20 years. Marseilles or Brussels
would be the first "epicentre" for a civil war in a couple of decades most
likely. If the multiculturalist governments implement enough countermeasures
they can keep stability going for up to five decades. Communist Russia had
severe problems already in the 50s but managed to keep it going until 1991 (41
years). The last 20 years before the collapse the population were victim of
strict indoctrination and censorship.
There are certain parallels to the current trend of "media blackouts" concerning
Muslim riots in European metropolitans and punitive measures taken against
anyone criticising the current system model (cultural conservatives). EU will
become a lot more totalitarian the next decades before it eventually crashes.
In any case, I give the Western European system model 30-70 years maximum before
at least some of them implode.
Shifting our investment mentality from stocks/currency/bonds/real estate etc. to
commodity would also be a pragmatical approach in the decades to come.
It’s really hard to predict as we do not yet know the shape or form of the
coming phase 2 and 3 war. Full blown civil war may last for up to 10-20 years.
Alternatively, it could also be a swift coup, ending the war in days with
limited impact on infrastructure and flow of resources.
The worst investment will without a doubt be be anything relating to property
and any investment in Muslim countries. Millions of Muslims will be deported in
the future resulting in a crash and complete meltdown in the real estate market.
Prices will be reduces by as much as 90% as there will be hundreds of thousands
of vacant housing units in many European cities. My advice to all cultural
conservatives now (2010) is therefore to steer away from real estate, stock
market investments and investments in Muslim countries altogether and rather
invest in commodity. The US is already bankerupt, they just don’t know it yet.
They will bring the EU economy down with them.
Stock/option tips for the future:
As a general rule, stay away from stocks. But if nevertheless are planning to
invest then focus on the following areas:
Anything military/security related (guns, body armour, war supplies, security
etc)
Transport sector – truck companies, railway, shipping (bulk, tank etc).
Transport rates will go through the roof as they do in all wars. However, many
transport units always face the risk of expropriation from national
governments/militaries.
Coca Cola and similar companies have traditionally been “crisis proof”.
Farming/food production related companies.
Worst case scenario:
Alternative investments for the future
(items that have little value today but will increase in value)
-
Guns – everything from assault rifles, ammo, grenades and mines.
-
Body armour
-
Fortified rural compounds with large rations of food/water
-
Survival gear – including survival books, kits, fishing gear, basic farming
equipment
-
Farms with focus on high calorie products
-
Automobiles with limited high tech electronics (standard diesel engines)
Educations for the future
-
Agriculture
-
Any education with practical implementation - carpentry, car mechanic, medicine,
gun smith etc.
-
Military/police/security educations
Our
ideological journey starts with our very first experiences in the world which
contributes to shape our perception of reality, of justice and of liberty.
When I first started on this compendium more than three years ago I had already
decided to only cover issues relating to Islamisation and mass-Muslim
immigration out of the fear of being labeled as a racist. I have always been
terrified of the prospect of being labeled as a racist, to such a degree that I
have put significant restrictions on myself, not only verbally but concerning
all aspects of my social image. And I know this is the case for a majority of
Europeans. I would say I have allowed myself to be paralyzed by this fear. I was
inclined not to bring up WW2, the relevance of ethnicity or mention the word
race at all.
Unfortunately for me, I found out through the years of research and study that
everything is connected. Our present situation is a direct result of WW2 and the
cold war, of the so called Frankfurt school and the rise of cultural
Marxism/multiculturalism and political correctness. We cannot ignore the
relevancy of these doctrines and we are forced to reflect on these issues if we
are to have a meaningful discussion. We are forced to bring up all the taboos
and reassess all the current “accepted truths”.
If I had met myself 12 years ago I would probably think I was an extreme and
paranoid nut, who believed in conspiracy theories:
“Our school institutions are brainwashing us and our media are systematically
lying to us you say? Lol, you’re, paranoid! Get a grip.”
All patriots sometimes feel like that guy in the Matrix who wants to go back
into his pod, and pretend he never learned the truth. It would be better
wouldn’t it? At least for a short while, but then again, my children would have
hated me for my cowardice a few decades down the road as THEY would have been
forced to suffer due to my cowardice.
The thing is that many of our political and cultural elites, including
politicians, NGO leaders, university professors/lecturers, writers, journalists
and editors – the individuals making up the majority of the so called category A
and B traitors, knows exactly what they are doing. They know that they are
contributing to a process of indirect cultural and demographical genocide and
they need to be held accountable for their actions. The truth needs to come out.
We are in the very beginning of a very bloody cultural war, a war between
nationalism and internationalism and we intend to win it. We will not allow the
EUSSR elites to deconstruct everything European nor to sell the peoples of
Europe into Muslim slavery. Islam WILL be thrown out of Europe for a third time
and the Marxist, humanist and globalist traitors who colluded with the Ummah
will be held accountable for their treason. We, the cultural conservatives, will
not be able to determine our own future until we seize political and military
power in our own countries. The only way of achieving this is to take individual
responsibility and to contribute to create more resistance fighters by spreading
the truth. Spreading the truth in an efficient way will speed up the ideological
journey (the ideological maturity process/ideological confidence level) for
mainstream Europeans. People must learn to overcome their fears and stand up for
their beliefs. Our survival depends upon it.

Fjordman’s book tips
I could also recommend some books that people should read.
About Islam I recommend essentially everything written by Robert Spencer. Bat
Ye’or’s books are groundbreaking and important, though admittedly not always
easy to read. The Legacy of Jihad by Andrew Bostom should be considered required
reading for all those interested in Islam. It is the best and most complete book
available on the subject in English, and possibly in any language. Ibn Warraq’s
books are excellent, starting with his Defending the West . Understanding
Muhammad by the Iranian ex-Muslim Ali Sina is also worth reading, as is
Defeating Jihad by Serge Trifkovic.
If you are looking for books about the history of science, I recommend
everything written by Edward Grant. The Beginnings of Western Science by David
C. Lindberg is very good, though slightly more politically correct than Grant
when it comes to science in the Islamic world. The Rise of Early Modern Science:
Islam, China and the West by Toby E. Huff is excellent and highly recommended.
These books are easy to read for an educated, mainstream audience.
For books that are excellent, yet more specialised and slightly more difficult,
I can recommend Victor J. Katz for the history of mathematics and The History
and Practice of Ancient Astronomy by James Evans for the history of
pre-telescopic astronomy up to and including Kepler. Evans’ book is extremely
well researched and detailed, almost too much so on European and Middle Eastern
astronomy, but contains virtually nothing on Chinese or Mayan astronomy. For a
more global perspective, Cosmos: An Illustrated History of Astronomy and
Cosmology by John North is good and not too difficult to read (Fjordman’s tips).

The History of the Calendar
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/11/fjordman-the-hi.html
Book 3, “A
Declaration of preemptive War” and certain chapters in book 2 in this
compendium, titled “2083”, and all related research files describes a
hypothetical response to a perceived threat (so called cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist atrocities and the threat of Islamisation). As such, it
is a fictional description regarding how it could be like if Islam would be
dominant in Europe. The concept of the story/plot is based on what it would be
like if certain Christian/conservative/nationalist resistance groups/individuals
chose to oppose these so called perceived threats and enemies. It describes in
shocking detail how they would most likely rationalise/think/justify/argue and
behave towards these perceived threats/enemies.
This books chapter 3 describes how a “fictional” resistance group is
emerging and how it would operate from the so called “Phase 1 through Phase 3”
in order to prevent these perceived threats and atrocities from futher
manifesting and to prevent an alleged future Muslim takeover. It also describes
specifically how this hypothetical fictional group, “PCCTS, Knights Templar”,
would choose to respond towards the so called ”enablers” or the so called
“cultural Marxist/multiculturalist” elites that are allegedly allowing millions
of Muslims to enter Europe. The book contains detailed strategies (guerrilla
tactics, instructions to execute, political campaigns etc.) which normally would
be partly incriminatory to anyone who published or distributed the book (had it
not been fiction). It also describes indirect and direct armed and non-armed
strategies towards these so-called “traitors” - referred to as the cultural
Marxists/ multiculturalists. The motivation for this “fiction-writer-approach”
is to contribute to create a new type of innovative writing style. By defining,
in a horrifically detailed way, a fictional scenario, the reader will be shocked
due to the “hopefully” credible and extremely detailed elaborations. It should
be noted that the author, as a sci-fi enthusiast, wanted to bring and create a
complete new writing style that has the potential to shock the reader with an
incredibly credible fictional plot (written in first, second and third person
narrative). The author or distributor does not condone or agree with any of the
descriptions or methods used in this book and the related chapters. However, the
book was created to try to explain to the European political elites how the
continuation of given political doctrines could result in similar manifestations
(radicalisation of certain groups/individuals), as history has already proven,
if they continue with their current policies. As such, it is a reminder to the
current establishment what might happen if they repeat the mistakes of the past.
Ignoring the will of the people will only contribute to radicalise
groups/individuals and therefore contribute to polarise the political fronts and
increase the chances of future conflicts. A continued humanist approach to mass
Muslim immigration, and the implementation of Sharia on a local, national and
pan-European level could result in a long term catastrophe. Not only as a result
of a political Islamic consolidation from phase 1-3 but also the danger that
REAL “resistance organisations” equivalent to the fictional group called “PCCTS”
arises as a result of the discontent. Simulating the creation and detailed
information about the actions of organisations like this is presented in detail
(included combat/guerrilla simulations, planning phase, attack strategies etc)
to try to forward a realistic impression to the reader and current European
governments regarding what COULD develop if the current Islamisation process is
allowed to continue. The detailed so called “terror descriptions” is therefore
in place to create a sense of perceived credibility, reality under a credible
fictitious framework. The threats, the discriminatory content and information
about guerrilla warfare and violence, threats regarding killing of so called
“traitors” and instruction on how to employ WMDs (which is all available through
Wikipedia and other online sources to anyone btw) is therefore all a part of
this fictional story/plot to strengthen the credibility of the framework. The
book should therefore never be considered anything else than fiction (not real).
Please note that in order to do some of the research in this compendium the
author had to visit/seek several controversial websites/sources in order to gain
access to the information. This does not mean that the author or distributor
have any sympathy or empathy for any specified or un-specified violent or
non-violent groups. All ”threats” etc in these fictional books are ”in
character” and its primary goal is to give an impression of what it would be
like if we were under threat by an extremist organisation. However, certain
aspects of the content describing a lead character (a fictional political
activist who has decided to become a so called “Jusiciar Knight”) sounds very
realistic due to the detailed descriptions. However, all incriminatory
information in this work is written “in character” and must not be confused with
an actual plan, or strategy to attempt to harm any individuals or
infrastructure, any political groups or attempt to seize political or military
control of Western European regimes. This book is therefore unique in many ways.
It is speculated that this type of original approach has the potential to
forward and present information in a new and original context. It is therefore
no need for concern by any police/state/government prosecutors or intelligence
agencies about the content of this book due to its fictional nature. This legal
disclaimer was created to remove any doubt whatsoever that the author or anyone
chosing to distribute the book “2083” has any hostile motives or intentions.
If any legal authority have reservations against this new and innovative
form of writing style, they may address or contact the author, any publisher or
distributor and share their concerns which will be taken under consideration.
Changes will be considered and implemented. As such, the content in its current
form will not incriminate anyone, the author or any distributor.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do
nothing."

“If you throw a frog into hot water it will jump out at once. But if you slowly
warm it up in a pot of cold water, it doesn’t jump out and boils to death. We
can see the decay right in front of our own eyes. We are slowly being boiled to
death…”
There have been hundreds of attempts to forward and distribute demands (on
behalf of the indigenous peoples of Europe) to Western European governments,
political parties and media organisations since 1955. As with all attempts for
dialogue, every single one of them has been rejected, ignored or ridiculed. One
of these pleas was written by Fjordman in March 2007:
A European Declaration of Independence
We, the citizens of the
United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden,
Denmark, Norway, Finland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Switzerland, Austria,

We demand that our national governments should immediately and without delay
pull their countries out of the European Union, which should be dismantled
entirely. European citizens pay up to half of their salaries in direct or
indirect taxes to their nation states. If these nations do not control their own
borders nor their policies, and they don't as long as the EU exists, those taxes
are a scam. National taxes require national borders. If our national borders are
not enforced, we have no obligation whatsoever to pay national taxes.
We demand that all documents regarding the Euro-Arab Dialogue and the creation
of the Eurabian networks for "Euro-Mediterranean cooperation" between European
countries and Arab countries since the 1970s, as documented by Bat Ye'or's work
on Eurabia, are published and explained in their full significance to the
general public. Those chiefly responsible for this - one of the greatest
betrayals in the history of Western civilisation - should stand trial, followed
by a period of general de-Eurabification of our laws and regulations.
We demand that all financial support to the Palestinian Authority should cease
immediately. It is proven beyond any doubt that this has in the past been used
to finance campaigns of Jihad terrorism against Jews in Israel and against
Christians in territories under PA control. A public statement in support of
Israel against Muslim aggression should be issued, and the money that has
previously been awarded to Palestinians should be allocated partly to Israel's
defence, partly to establish a Global Infidel Defence Fund with the stated goal
of disseminating information about Muslim persecution of non-Muslims worldwide.
We demand that the ideology of multiculturalism should immediately be removed
from all government policies and school curricula, and that the state should
adopt a policy of supporting the continuation of the cultural heritage and
traditions of the indigenous populations. Multiculturalism has never been about
tolerance. It is an anti-Western hate ideology championed as an instrument for
unilaterally dismantling European culture. As such, it is an evil ideology bent
on an entire culture's eradication, and we, the peoples of Europe, have not just
a right, but a duty to resist it and an obligation to pass on our heritage to
future generations.
We demand that all Muslim immigration in whatever form should be immediately and
completely halted, and that our authorities take a long break from mass
immigration in general until such a time when law and order has been
re-established in our major cities. We will not accept any accusations of
"racism." Many European nations have for decades accepted more immigration into
our countries in a shorter period of time than any other people has done
peacefully in human history.
We are sick and tired of feeling like strangers in our own lands, of being
mugged, raped, stabbed, harassed and even killed by violent gangs of Muslim
thugs, yet being accused of "racism and xenophobia" by our media and intimidated
by our own authorities to accept even more such immigration.
Europe is being targeted for deliberate colonisation (see demographic warfare)
by Muslim states, and with coordinated efforts aimed at our Islamisation and the
elimination of our freedoms. We are being subject to a foreign invasion, and
aiding and abetting a foreign invasion in any way constitutes treason. If
non-Europeans have the right to resist colonisation and desire
self-determination then Europeans have that right, as well. And we intend to
exercise it.
If these demands are not fully implemented, if the European Union isn't
dismantled, multiculturalism isn't rejected and Muslim immigration isn't
stopped, we, the peoples of Europe, are left with no other choice than to
conclude that our authorities have abandoned us, and that the taxes they collect
are therefore unjust and that the laws that are passed without our consent are
illegitimate. We will stop paying taxes and take the appropriate measures to
protect our own security and ensure our national survival.
The above declaration was forwarded to many political parties of the so called
“Multiculturalist Alliance” (MA100 political parties) and many “cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist media organisations in 2007. As expected, no one ever
bothered to comment on the demands as it was categorised as “right wing
nonsense” and categorically ignored.
“A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction,
and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury.”
John Stuart Mill
Individual criminal responsibility:
A person who planned, instigated, ordered, committed or otherwise aided and
abetted in the planning, preparation or execution of a crime referred to in the
following articles shall be held individually responsible for the crime.
The official position of any accused person, whether as Head of State or
Government or as a responsible Government official, shall not relieve such
person of criminal responsibility or mitigate punishment.
The
fact that any of the acts referred to in the following articles was committed by
a subordinate does not relieve his superior of criminal responsibility if he
knew or had reason to know that the subordinate was about to commit such acts or
had done so and the superior failed to take the necessary and reasonable
measures to prevent such acts or to punish the perpetrators thereof.
The fact that an accused person acted pursuant to an order of a Government or of
a superior shall not relieve him of criminal responsibility, but may or may not
be considered in mitigation of punishment in the future (depending on the
accused persons current and future acts of repent).
The accused
Charges brought against cultural Marxist/multiculturalist/suicidal
humanist/capitalist globalist politicians, primarily from the alliance of
European political parties known as ”the MA 100” and EU parliamentarians. The
accused are also elected and non-elected parliamentarians, their advisors and
any public and/or corporate servant who has been and still are indirectly or
directly implicated in committing the following acts.
The accused are also individuals from various professional groups (but not
limited to): journalists, editors, teachers, lecturers, university professors,
various school/university board members, publicists, radio commentators, writers
of fiction, cartoonists, and artists etc. The accused includes many individuals
from other professional groups such as: technicians, scientists, doctors and
even Church leaders. In addition, individuals (investors etc) who have directly
or indirectly funded related activities. It’s important to note that the
stereotypical ”socialists”,
collectivists, feminists, gay and disability activists, animal rights activists,
environmentalists etc are to be considered on an individual basis only. Not
everyone who is associated with one of these groups or movements is to be
considered a
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist.
The accused are individuals who have deliberately used their influence in a way
which makes them indirectly or directly guilty of the listed charges. Many of
these individuals will attempt to claim ”ignorance” of the crimes they are
accused of.
The charges
1a.
Aiding and abetting to cultural genocide against the
indigenous peoples of Europe.
Cultural genocide is a term used to describe the deliberate destruction of the
cultural heritage of a people or nation for political, military, religious,
ideological, ethnical, or racial reasons[1].
According to the ”United
Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples”[2] the
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
elites of Europe (all category A, B and C traitors) are committing cultural
genocide against the Indigenous Peoples of Europe.
“United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples” adopted by
General Assembly Resolution 61/295 on 13 September 2007.
According to each part of this declaration; Europe is the victim of cultural
genocide on par with that of Tibet.

1b.
Aiding and abetting a foreign invasion/colonisation of Europe by allowing
systematical Islamic demographic warfare (by the Global Islamic Ummah)
The
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
elites of Europe are committing high treason by allowing and justifying past and
current deliberate Islamic invasion/colonisation
of Europe by Muslim states and the rest of the Global Islamic Ummah through the
use of demographic warfare (by allowing mass Muslim immigration and allowing and
tolerating average Muslim birth-rates of 3-4). These actions committed are
coordinated efforts aimed at our Islamisation and the elimination of our
freedoms. Europe is thus subject to a foreign invasion and aiding and abetting a
foreign invasion in any way constitutes treason.
2a.
Contributing to deliberately disallow Europe’s indigenous peoples from
exercising the right to resist the Islamic invasion/colonisation through
demographic warfare.
2b.
Contributing to institutionalised persecution, discrimination, harassment,
illegal monitoring, incarceration, torture and/or mental/physical abuse of any
and all individuals who attempt to resist or oppose the Islamic
invasion/colonisation of Europe through demographic warfare and/or cultural
genocide.
Crimes committed against cultural conservatives or other political
“enemies/threats”.
-
Contributing to
expelling (firing)/demoting/hindrance of promotion of more than
40 000
cultural conservatives
in various professions due to their political conservative stance.
-
Contributing to
incarceration of more than 150 000
cultural conservatives
or others, who doesn’t support the
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
stance, for “resistance” and/or “defence” related acts. Acts related to
self-defence or with the purpose of directly or indirectly protecting ethnic
Christian European interests (everything from the loss of life to securing
national borders). This also includes attacks and/or the execution of
cultural Marxists/multiculturalists
or pre-emptive strikes for the purpose of preventing/limiting the use of
demographic warfare. This also includes acts committed with the purpose of
preventing/limiting (through illegal acquirement of funds or through violence)
cultural genocide. Among the persecuted/incarcerated are primarily Western
European citizens. Serbian and Croat war heroes are however also included.
2c.
Aiding and abetting to cause the extinction of the indigenous Europeans’ by
creating and/or maintaining the Marxist social structures which has lead to an
average fertility rate of less than 1,5 among the indigenous Europeans.
These policies of extinction is nothing less than the deliberate plan to cause
the indirect demographical genocide on a mass scale by implementing and
maintaining Marxist social structures. This huge deficit is then used as the
primary argument to allow mass Muslim immigration. The utter unwillingness to
change these social structures (reverse from matriarchal oriented structures to
patriarchal structures) leading to this gradual extinction is considered no less
than high treason. These Marxist social structures causes an annual Western
European birth deficit of at least 2 million. The political doctrines which
create the fundament for these Marxist social structures are included in another
chapter. A few examples include collaboration by allowing the marketing and
propagating the excessive distribution of contraceptive
pills to European women, by allowing 500 000 annual
abortions, by stripping aways mens rights and prerogative (as patriarch/head of
the family) in relation to custody care, by criminalising physical disciplinary
methods etc.
3a.
Contributing to deliberately and systematically preventing Europe’s indigenous
peoples from exercising the right to self-determination.
3b.
Contributing to undermine and destroy the Western European democracies by
deliberately and systematically importing Muslim voters, encouraging to Islamic
block voting and encouraging to Islamic demographic warfare for the purpose of
increasing and/or growing voter base.
4.
Contributing to deliberately exposing and thus endangering Europe’s indigenous
peoples to individuals and groups who exercise a fascist, violent,
discriminating and genocidal political ideology known as Islam. These
individuals and groups are all members of the Global Islamic Ummah, who has
historically or still are exercising violent, hateful, threatening,
discriminating and genocidal behaviour and acts towards and against Europe’s
indigenous peoples.
The behaviour and systematic acts of terror includes: demographic warfare,
murder, rape, robberies, theft, harassment, slavery, sexual exploitation,
financial exploitation and other various forms of physical and mental abuse.
5.
Participation of indirect atrocities against Europeans.
Crimes against the indigenous peoples of Western Europe - 1960-2010
The
following atrocities have been committed by the Muslims (directly) residing in
Western Europe. As such, the following atrocities have been indirectly committed
by the
cultural Marxists/multiculturalists
themselves. The victims are all non-Muslims, primarily indigenous Europeans.
European
cultural Marxists/multiculturalists
are collectively held responsible for all criminal acts Muslims commit against
indigneous Europeans in Europe (and acts committed by Muslims against other
non-Muslims). It is not the free peoples of Europe but the
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
category A, B and C traitors alone who have invited and allowed Muslims to stay
in Europe and have therefore indirectly acted as the primary enabler of the
following crimes:
(a) Traumatising physical or psychological abuse
Includes robberies, beatings, traumatising threats, severe harassment, all forms
of violence, rape excluded.
Contributing to
allowing the harassment, robberies, theft, financial exploitation and other
various forms of physical and mental abuse of aprox
4,5 million Europeans (1960-2010).
Estimates are calculated based on number of atrocities committed.
Many Europeans have been abused or exploited several times. Ratio is an average
1000 atrocities per 100 000 Muslims annually.
Contributing to
allowing the enslavement and/or systematic sexual exploitation of aprox
8000 European women and men for
shorter or longer periods (1960-2010). Figure is included in (a)
(b)
Murder or indirect murder
Contributing to
allowing the first degree murder of 44
800 indigenous Europeans by exposing them to the Global Islamic Ummah. This
includes the direct and indirect murder of Europeans committed by Muslims living
in Europe. There us an average of 10 murders per year, per 100 000 Muslims
(directly or indirectly). This figure also includes the numbers in (b),
(1960-2010).
Contributing to
allowing the indirect murder of
10 000-20 000 Europeans (already included in above figure) by exposing them
to the Global Islamic Ummah. Causes includes suicide or other secondary lethal
inflictions due to Muslim rape, harassment, torture, slavery, violence, threats
or financial and/or sexual exploitation (1960-2010).
(c) Rape
Contributing to
allowing the rape of aprox 1,1 million
European women (based on Swedish statistics, 1960-2010).
Estimates are calculated based on number of rapes. A gang rape will count number
of rapists in relation to number of rapes. Many European girls/women have been
raped multiple times.
Ratio is an average 200 rapes per 100 000 Muslims annually.
(d) Arson
Contributing to
allowing and facilitating 450 000 arson crimes of arson.
Estimates include car burnings which is a significant problem in many European
major cities. Arson is often the preferred method the Muslims will use to weaken
the society.
Ratio is an average 100 arson attacks per 100 000 Muslims annually.
6. Participation to war crimes against Croats but especially Serbs before,
during and after the 1999 NATO bombings [1][2][3][4]
In the NATO bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, large numbers of
civilians in addition to members of the Serb forces have incontestably been
killed and civilian and non-civilian installations destroyed. NATO has carried
out between 5,000 and 10,000 bombing missions over the territories of the former
Yugoslavia since March 24, 1999. Furthermore, NATO forced Serbian forces out and
thereby helped the Islamic terror organisation, UCK, to conquer Kosovo.
NATO leaders "have admitted publicly to having agreed upon and ordered these
actions, being fully aware of their nature and effects. There is ample evidence
in the public statements of NATO leaders that these attacks on civilian and
non-civilian targets were part of a deliberate strategy to terrorise the
population in order to achieve the goal of turning them against their
leadership.
NATO atrocities against Serbs
NATO leaders have openly admitted targeting civilian infrastructure as well as
military targets. The list of targets has included fuel depots, oil refineries,
government offices, power stations and communications links, such as roads,
tunnels, bridges and railway links, including those not inside the region of, or
in the vicinity of, Kosovo.
In addition to these deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure and objects,
there have been a great number of attacks which have caused direct physical harm
and death to civilians.
These bombing missions have directly caused the death of approximately 2,000
men, women and children and serious injury to 7,500 more.
Though the above-named NATO leaders have claimed that these incidents were
accidents, they have also admitted that they were an inevitable result of their
bombing strategy, a strategy which they appear to have continued unmodified and
even to have intensified throughout these incidents.
There is ample evidence in the public statements of NATO leaders that these
attacks on civilian targets are part of a deliberate attempt to terrorise the
population to turn it against its leadership.
The NATO bombing has done an estimated $100 billion dollars in property damage
and completely destroyed or seriously damaged dozens of bridges, railways and
railway stations, major roads, airports, including civilian airports, hospitals
and health care centres, television transmitters, medieval monasteries and
religious shrines, cultural-historical monuments and museums, hundreds of
schools, faculties and facilities for students and children, thousands of
dwellings and civilian industrial and agricultural facilities.
Refineries and warehouses storing liquid raw materials and chemicals have been
hit causing environmental contamination and exposing the civilian population to
the emission of poisonous gases.
The NATO bombings have also made use of weapons banned by international
convention, including cruise missiles utilising depleted uranium highly toxic to
human beings.
Aftermath
There are now more than 2500 un-detonated cluster bombs spread over large parts
of Serbian territories. 160 000 Serbs live in these affected areas and it will
take more than 12-23 years to clear the areas if the work continues in today’s
pace. Serbia needs 242 NOK millions for the work of digging up and disarming
cluster ammunition that haven’t yet detonated. NATO dropped approximately 37 000
cluster bombs over Yugoslavia during the 78 day illegal war campaign in 1999.
The bombs have since then killed more than 31 individuals and injured more than
160.[1]
Use of illegal weapons - Cluster Bombs and Depleted Uranium weapons against the
Serbs
Subsequent agreements, including the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, the
Geneva Conventions of 1925 and 1949 and the Nuremberg Charter of 1945 have
affirmed that the following acts are prohibited under international law:
i.
Use of weapons or tactics which cause unnecessary or aggravated devastation or
suffering.
ii.
Use of weapons or tactics which cause indiscriminate harm, i.e., to
non-combatants.
iii.
Use of weapons or tactics which violate the neutral jurisdiction of
non-participating states.
iv.
Use of asphyxiating, poisonous or other gas, and all analogous substances
including bacteriological methods of war.
v.
Use of weapons which or tactics which cause widespread, long-term and severe
damage to the environment.
The United States and NATO have openly admitted to using both cluster bombs and
depleted uranium weapons in the March-June, 1999 war against the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia. Furthermore, in the 78 days of bombing, the U.S. and
NATO had no intention of even trying to limit the use of cluster and DU weapons
to military targets.
Criminal charges:
All of the Heads of State and Government of the 19 NATO countries, their Foreign
Ministers and Ministers of Defence, and officials and military leaders of NATO,
have admitted publicly to having agreed upon and ordered these actions, being
fully aware of their nature and effects. In addition, many others will be
determined as accomplices in committing these crimes.
"The atrocities committed against the Serbs is not only immoral, it is criminal
and punishable under various laws. Even in a legal war you cannot kill civilians
and destroy an entire country as a military strategy.
The following charges are directed at any individual who planned, instigated,
ordered, committed or otherwise aided and abetted in the planning, preparation
or execution of a crime(s) referred to in the mentioned articles and shall be
held individually responsible for the crime(s).
The criminal charges include:
a.
Wilful killing.
b.
Wilfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health.
c.
Extensive destruction and appropriation of property not justified by military
necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly.
d.
Employment of poisonous weapons or other weapons to cause unnecessary suffering.
e. Wanton destruction of cities,
towns or villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity.
f. Attack, or bombardment, by
whatever means, of undefended towns, villages, dwellings, or buildings.
g. Seizure of, destruction or wilful
damage done to institutions dedicated to religion, charity and education, the
arts and sciences, historic monuments and works of art and science.
h.
Aiding and abetting to cultural genocide against the
Christian populations in parts of the Balkans.
i.
Aiding
and abetting the enemy, the Global Islamic Ummah (primarily Bosniaks and
Albanians in this case) by helping them continue colonisation/invasion through
demographic warfare of parts of the Balkans.
j.
Deliberately preventing the Serbian people and other non-Muslim peoples in the
Balkans from exercising their right to resist Islamic demographic
warfare/indirect Islamic invasion/colonisation waged against them by the Global
Islamic Ummah.
k.
Deliberately and systematically preventing the Serbian people and other
non-Muslim peoples in the Balkans from exercising the right to
self-determination and disallowing them their right to avenge past atrocities
committed by the Global Islamic Ummah. Avenging centuries of atrocities involves
mass deportations of Bosniaks and Albanians.
l.
Deliberately disallowing or disabling, through military force, the Serbian and
Croat government in its pursuit to prevent its population from being exposed and
thus endangered by individuals and groups who exercises a fascist, violent,
discriminating and genocidal political ideology known as Islam. These
individuals and groups are all members of the Global Islamic Ummah, who has
historically or still are exercising violent, hateful, discriminating and
genocidal behaviour and acts towards and against Europe’s Christian and/or
atheist indigenous peoples.
The behaviour and systematic acts of terror includes: demographic warfare,
murder, rape, robberies, theft, harassment, slavery, sexual exploitation,
financial exploitation and other various forms of physical and mental abuse.
7a.
Indirectly or directly supporting and/or contributing to the creation, marketing
and implementation of multiculturalism, an anti-Western hate ideology aimed at
undermining the indigenous peoples of Europe and destroying European
civilisation and culture. Multiculturalism has never been about tolerance. It is
an anti-European hate ideology championed as an instrument for unilaterally
dismantling European nation states, culture, traditions, Christianity and
identity. As such, it is an evil ideology bent on an entire culture's
eradication.
7b.
Contributing to systematical ideological coercing and brainwashing (also known
as thought reform or
re-education) of the indigenous
peoples of Western Europe in the attempt to modify people’s social and political
philosophy and instilling certain attitudes. These indoctrination efforts are
aimed towards all Europeans in order to form certain beliefs in a person with
the aim of affecting individual value systems and subsequent thought-patterns
and behaviours. This has been done by designing multiculturalist school
curriculums with the intention of indoctrinating all individuals. Falsified and
biased representations, falsified or biased statistics, falsified or biased
sources, biased/unbalanced coverage and
labelling certain opponents/groups as bigots/racists/Nazis is common.
Furthermore, propaganda, direct or indirect manipulation and other forms of
trickery is prevalent with the intention of creating a foundation for a new
society based on multiculturalism and emotionalism/extreme egalitarianism. Other
motives include the goal of limiting opposition/resistance towards mass-Muslim
immigration/Islamic demographic warfare.
The cultural Marxist media establishment of Western Europe have since the
1960-1970s had a political agenda which closely coincides with the political
establishment. As such their methods have included systematically attacking,
discrediting and undermining Europe’s traditional institutions, mechanics and
processes in order to lay the foundation for a new society based on
multiculturalism and emotionalism/extreme egalitarianism. Individuals who has
supported a more rationalistic, individualistic and/or traditional views have
been systematically labelled as bigots and silenced through various means.
The following institutions, norms, principles, and traditions have been
systematically criticised/ ridiculed/ opposed/ undermined/ weakened/ partly
dismantled:
The cultural Marxist/multiculturalist aim is to destroy all ties to history,
culture, family, community, and one's people as a whole:
·
Traditional family structure (the nuclear family) through glorifying non-marital
relationships, emphasis on sex education from young age, casual sex etc.
·
European national states and national borders
·
European/national cultural heritage and traditions
·
European Christian traditions
·
The Church’s influence in society (social and political influence). Conservative
Church leaders are undermined/ridiculed/silenced.
·
Discipline and disciplinary measures in educational institutions, at home and in
society in general (by opposing/criticising/disallowing mental and physical
disciplinary measures)
·
The political mechanisms based on rationality and logic (death penalty, strict
sentencing)
·
The police/military role and influence in society by limiting their influence
and rights (law and order)
·
Men’s right to equal child care/custody.
·
Conservative organisations or individuals opposing mass-Muslim immigration
and/or multiculturalism/feminism/extreme egalitarianism/emotionalism are
systematically criticised, undermined, silenced, ridiculed and labelled as
bigots/racists/Nazis/fascists. Examples are Christian newspapers/magazines and
other cultural conservative publications who are being discriminated against
through various means.
Active support for:
·
Feminism/emotionalism/egalitarianism/multiculturalism and thus active support
for the Islamisation of Europe.
·
Liberal Church leaders
·
Cultural Marxist/multiculturalist radical groups (Left wing extremists) such as
Blitz, AFA, UAF etc.
Biased coverage of:
Environmentalism – obsession with global warming instead of focusing on
overpopulation (no calls for birth/population control in the developing world)
- Biased coverage of US administrations/elections (always supporting Democrats
and always opposing Republicans)
- The Iraqi war and ”the war on terror”.
Always focus on the US bombing of civilians. No coverage on the persecution and
Jihadi attacks against Christian Assyrians after the fall of Saddam. There has
been an ongoing Jihad against non-Muslims in Iraq and other Muslim countries the
last centuries. No coverage.
- The Jihad against Israel
- Israel has for the last decades systematically been demonised and labelled as
the aggressor. Ignoring the ongoing Jihad against Israeli Jews and non-Israeli
Jews the last centuries. F example 80 000 Jews was deported from Egypt after WW2
etc. Several hundred Jews are murdered annually in the Middle East by Jihadists
(no coverage). No coverage of Islamic Jihads and other Jihadi organisations
military tactics; f example the launching of missiles from Christian villages in
Lebanon and the use of Christians as human shields.
- The Jihad against Christian Lebanon
– This was a systematic Jihad launched by the Global Islamic Ummah (several
Muslim countries, Iran sent more than 5000 Jihadi soldiers) against a Christian
population who finally decided to make a final push before it was too late due
to the ongoing Islamic demographic warfare. The Global Islamic Ummah refused to
acknowledge a Christian state. Unfortunately they were abandoned by their
historical protectors, France and other Western European countries. Christian
Lebanon was betrayed by Western Europe. As a result, the Muslims won and the
Christian exodus reached a climax (In 1911 there were 80% Christians in Lebanon,
now there are less than 25% left. According to Western European media this was a
civil war.
- Balkan war – Blind focus on so
called ”Serb persecutions of poor Muslims”. Serbs were demonised by the Western
European media establishment and labelled as the only aggressors. There was
little mention of Jihadi atrocities against Christians or the fact that more
than 6000 international Jihadi warriors travelled to the Balkans (among them
more than 1000 Muslims living is Western Europe) to wage Jihad against the
Christian Europeans. The Serbs and Croats had just cause to fight and oppose
Islamic demographic warfare (it is well known that f example there were 60%
Christian Serbs in Kosovo around 1900, now there are less than 7% left). The
Croats but especially the Serbs attempted to deport Bosniaks and Albanians to
Albania. This was effectively stopped when NATO started the 1999 bombings of
Serb forces.
Kashmir conflict
– biased coverage (anti-Hindu, pro-Muslim)
India in general
– biased coverage (anti-Hindu,
pro-Muslim)
Sudan – biased or no coverage
The Western European media establishment have failed to inform the European
populations of the biggest Jihadi genocides of modern times. Several hundred
thousand Christians and Animists in Southern Sudan have systematically been
massacred. Furthermore, they have not informed the European people that this
Jihadi campaign is supported and funded by Saudi Arabia and other members of the
Global Islamic Ummah.
Nigeria/Biafra
– biased or no coverage (anti-Christian, pro-Muslim)
Chechnya and Dagestan (Muslims vs. Christians)
Biased and Russo-phobic coverage (anti-Christian, pro-Muslim). In this case the
Muslims have been trying to create an Islamic state for decades. They fail to
show the link between the so called “poor outnumbered rebels” and their Jihadi
motives and terrorist activities.
Georgia -
Biased and Russo-phobic coverage.
Southern Thailand (Muslims vs. Buddhists)
Biased coverage (anti-Buddhist, pro-Muslim) – This is a Jihad for the creation
of yet another Muslim republic in Southern Thailand. Jihadi beheadings is not
uncommon and Jihadi atrocities are downplayed or not reported at all.
Southern Philippines (Muslims vs. Christians)
Biased or no coverage (anti-Buddhist, pro-Muslim). In Southern Philippines an
extremely violent Islamic Jihad has gradually escalated the last years. They
seek to create an Islamic republic.
Western China - Xinjiang (Muslims vs. Buddhists)
Biased coverage (anti-Buddhist, pro-Muslim) Uighur Islamists have waged a Jihad
against Chinese rule for decades. Turkestan Islamic Party seeks to create an
Islamic republic for the Muslim Uighur people. Western media have condemned the
actions of the Chinese government counter-campaigns against the “poor
outnumbered rebels”.
The Global Islamic Ummah – Multiple military Jihads combined with demographic
warfare
90% of all the Worlds conflicts today are between Jihadists and non-Muslims. In
most cases, Jihadists want to create Islamic republic’s of some sort. Western
media fail to connect the dots. They fail to acknowledge that the Global Islamic
Ummah are launching multiple military Jihads in tandem with Islamic demographic
warfare against old and new territories around the world.
Failure to explain terms and educate the European populations about Islam:
- Historical and contemporary Dhimmitude worldwide
- Historical and contemporary Jizya
- The importance of the Global Islamic Ummah
- The importance of Al-Taqiyya in Islam
- The importance of Quranic abrogation/Naskh (Mecca vs Medina verses)
NO coverage of:
- The ongoing spread of Wahhabism/Jihadi Salafism in the West. Western European
politicians and the mainstream media have failed to explain the European people
that Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries have spent more than 87 billion USD
the last decades on propagating Wahhabism in the West. Furthermore, they have
failed to explain that there are now hundreds of Wahhabi centers (mosques and
Islamic cultural centers) across Europe who teaches an exceptionally hateful
variant of Islam.
Daily Jihadi attacks worldwide
– More than 200 documented Jihadi attacks on non-Muslims every week, worldwide
(with more than 400 casualties and more than 800 injured on a weekly basis) –
primarily slayings of Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and Animists. Weekly
undocumented occurrences range in the thousands on average.
7c.
Indirectly or directly supporting and/or contributing to state sanctioned
falsification campaigns (both revisionism and negationism) aimed at laying the
foundation for implementing European multiculturalism and/or mass-Muslim
immigration.
More info regarding these charges:
The essence of multiculturalism is that all cultures and religions are “equal”.
In this context our Western governments launched a great “campaign of deception”
against their own people with the goal of creating a falsified version of the
Islamic and European Civilisation, in order to make them equal. According to
them, this is needed in order to successfully implement multiculturalism.
The process was politically motivated with the goal of creating a good
foundation for Euro-Arab cooperation and trade.
Examples of falsification and apologist sources include:
·
Exaggerated claims of Muslim cultural and scientific contributions.
·
The Ottoman Empire was tolerant.
·
The, “Jewish experience” in the Ottoman Empire “ was a calm, peaceful, and a
fruitful one..”.
·
Balkan Christian boys could acquire great social advancement through
“recruitment” into the Ottoman devshirme system.
·
The Armenian Genocide never happened. It was rather
a struggle between two peoples for the possession of a single homeland.
·
Muslim Andalusia (Moorish Spain) is often pointed out by Muslim apologists as a
kind of multicultural wonderland, in which Jews and Christians were permitted by
the Islamic government to rise through the ranks of learning and government
administration.
·
Jihad means personal struggle
·
Islam is a religion of peace
·
Christianity and Islam are equal in terms of historic atrocities
·
Maronite Christians (Lebanese Christians) falsely claim to be victims.
Examples of systematic deletion/ignoration of important issues
The Western European governments have sanctioned deleting and ignoring large
chunks of our history, including censorships of school curriculum’s on the
following fields:
·
Hindu/Buddhist genocides - Hindu Kush, the largest Genocides in the history of
man
·
Armenian Genocides
·
Greek Genocides
·
Assyrian Genocides
·
Coptic Genocides
·
The past Jihads, torture and enslavement of Christians and other non-Muslim
peoples in the Middle East and Asia
·
The ongoing Jihads, torture and enslavement of Christian and other non-Muslim
peoples or individuals in the Middle East and Asia
·
Jus Primae Noctis - Officially sanctioned rape under the Ottoman Empire
·
The West’s unwillingness to prevent or defend Christian Lebanon against Jihadi
invasions by the Global Islamic Ummah (among them many Muslim countries
including Iran, Syria, Egypt, Jordan). This Jihad eventually lead to the fall of
the Christian state of Lebanon. In 1911 there were 80% Christians in Lebanon,
today there are less than 25% left, a minority who are still being persecuted)
·
What the Crusades Were Really Like
·
European
Slaves, Arab Masters – more than 1,5 million Europeans were enslaved
Examples of anti-Western propaganda included in our school curriculums
·
Falsified information about the Crusades (it was a defensive campaign not
offensive)
·
Western colonial history (anti Western bias) was primarily consisting of
financial exploitation of lesser developed territories but was nothing compared
to the 1400 years of Islamic Jihad which resulted in countless genocides
resulting in more than 300 million slaughtered, and the enslavement and forceful
conversion of more than 300 million)
More than 95% of today’s Journalists, editors, publishers are pro-Eurabians
(support European multiculturalism). The same goes for 85% of Western European
politicians and more than 90% of EU parliamentarians.
Also, we shouldn’t forget that it’s the EU[5] that is the driving force behind
European revisionism on Islam in Europe.
From The Eurabia Code:
Euro-Arab Dialogue Symposia conducted in Venice (1977) and Hamburg (1983)
included recommendations that have been successfully implemented…
The necessity of cooperation between European and Arab specialists in order to
present a positive picture of Arab-Islamic civilisation and contemporary Arab
issues to the educated public in Europe.
The Euro-Arab Dialogue (EAD) is a political, economic and cultural institution
designed to ensure perfect cohesion between Europeans and Arabs. Its structure
was set up at conferences in Copenhagen (15 December 1973), and Paris (31 July
1974). The principal agent of this policy is the European Parliamentary
Association for Euro-Arab Cooperation, founded in 1974. The other principal
organs of The Dialogue are the MEDEA Institute and the European Institute of
Research on Mediterranean and Euro-Arab Cooperation, created in 1995 with the
backing of the European Commission.
In an interview with Jamie Glazov of Frontpage Magazine, Ye'or explained how "in
domestic policy, the EAD established a close cooperation between the Arab and
European media television, radio, journalists, publishing houses, academia,
cultural centers, school textbooks, student and youth associations, tourism.
Church interfaith dialogues were determinant in the development of this policy.
Eurabia is therefore this strong Euro-Arab network of associations - a
comprehensive symbiosis with cooperation and partnership on policy, economy,
demography and culture."
Eurabia's driving force, the Parliamentary Association for Euro-Arab
Cooperation, was created in Paris in 1974. It now has over six hundred members -
from all major European political parties - active in their own national
parliaments, as well as in the European parliament. France continues to be the
key protagonist of this association.
One of the documents Bat Ye'or was kind enough to send me (which she mentions in
the French version of her book about Eurabia but not in the English version) is
the Common Strategy of the European Council - Vision of the EU for the
Mediterranean Region, from June 19th 2000.
It includes many recommendations, such as:
"to elaborate partnership-building measures, notably by promoting regular
consultations and exchanges of information with its Mediterranean partners,
support the interconnection of infrastructure between Mediterranean partners,
and between them and the EU, take all necessary measures to facilitate and
encourage the involvement of civil society as well as the further development of
human exchanges between the EU and the Mediterranean partners. NGOs will be
encouraged to participate in cooperation at bilateral and regional levels.
Particular attention will be paid to the
media and universities [my emphasis]."
The Strategy also wants to "pursue, in order to fight intolerance, racism and
xenophobia, the dialogue between cultures and civilisations."
The Algiers Declaration [11] for a Shared Vision of the Future was made after a
Congress held in Algeria in February 2006. The document states that: "It is
essential to create a Euro-Mediterranean entity founded on Universal Values" and
that "It is crucial to positively emphasise all common cultural heritage, even
if marginalised or forgotten." A Common Action Plan draws up a large number of
recommendations on how to achieve this new Euro-Mediterranean entity. Among
these recommendations are:
·
Adapt existing organisations and the contents of media to the objectives of the
North- South dialogue, and set up a Euro-Mediterranean journalism centre
·
Set up a network jointly managed by the Mediterranean partners in order to
develop "a harmonised education system" [A
"harmonised education system" between the Arab world and Europe? What does that
include? Do I want to know? Will they tell us before it is a fait accompli?]
These agreements, completely rewriting European history books to make them more
Islam-friendly, and gradually silencing "Islamophobia" as racism, are being
implemented even now.
In June 2005 in Rabat [14], Morocco, a conference was held on "Fostering
Dialogue among Cultures and Civilisations." The Conference was jointly organised
by UNESCO, the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation
(ISESCO), the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the Arab League
Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organisation (ALECSO), the Danish Centre
for Culture and Development (DCCD) and the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean
Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures (Alexandria, Egypt).
Among the recommendations that were raised by Mr. Olaf Gerlach Hansen, Director
General of the DCCD: "We are interested in new actions in the media, in culture
and in education. These proposals include:
- Concrete initiatives to develop "intercultural competencies" in the training
of new generations of journalists - Concrete initiatives for links and exchanges
between journalists, editors, media-institutions, which encourage intercultural
co-operation" - Concrete initiatives for curriculum development through new
educational materials and revision of existing textbooks.
Although not stated directly, one may reasonably assume that among the "negative
stereotypes" to be removed from the textbooks used to teach history to European
schoolchildren are any and all references to the 1300 years of continuous Jihad
warfare against Europe. These recommendations were accepted and incorporated
into The Rabat Commitment.
The ECRI called on the EU member states to adopt measures that would effectively
outlaw any serious debate about Islam and introduce pro-Muslim "affirmative
action." European countries should:
·
Modify curricula to prevent "distorted interpretations of religious and cultural
history" and "portrayal of Islam on perceptions of hostility and menace";
·
Encourage debate in the media on the image which they convey of Islam and on
their responsibility to avoid perpetuating prejudice and bias.
8a.
Aiding and abetting the enemy, the Global Islamic Ummah, in committing
crimes/Jihad against Serbs in the Balkans and Serbia by directly supporting
organisations such as the UCK, similar groups in the Balkans and so called
Muslim authorities in Kosovo through EU and NATO. By refusing to send military
aid to our brothers, allies, friends and fellow Christians; the Serbs you are
committing high treason and are not acting in the interest of Europeans.
8b.
Aiding and abetting the enemy, the Global Islamic Ummah, by providing financial
support to the Palestinian Authority which allows them to wage military Jihad
against Israel and Christian Lebanon. It is proven beyond any doubt that the
funding of the Palestinian Authority has in the past been used to finance
campaigns of Jihadi terrorism against Jews in Israel and against Lebanese
Christians in territories under PA control or influence.
8c.
Aiding and abetting the enemy, the Global Islamic Ummah, in committing
systematic genocide against Middle Eastern Christians, by directly supporting
the Muslim regimes and by refusing to send military aid to our allies, friends
and fellow Christians; Christian Copts, Maronites and Assyrians in various
Muslim dominated countries (primarily Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Iraq).
No measures have been taken by the cultural Marxists/multiculturalists to
evacuate and aid the Christian populations of the Middle East (12-15 million,
2008 estimate). Measures should have been taken to create a Christian Coptic
state, a Christian Assyrian state, a Christian Maronite state and a Christian
state reserved for the remaining Christian groups in the Middle East. The first
step should have been to re-conquer Christian Lebanon, deport the Muslim
populations and secure the borders to ensure the survival of the Christian
populations. The cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elite’s inability and
unwillingness to act on these issues constitutes high treason and betrayal
against our Christian brothers and sisters in the Middle East as they.
8d.
Aiding and abetting the enemy, the Global Islamic Ummah, by allowing Muslims
living in Europe to fund external Jihadi groups or travel on Jihadi trips around
the world to fight Europeans and/or other Christians. It is proven beyond any
doubt that Muslims living in Europe have directly funded external Jihadi groups
or joined such groups for the purpose of killing Europeans or other Christians.
As a result, numerous Christians in Europe - especially in the Balkans, in the
Middle East - especially Christian Lebanese, Israeli and non-Israeli Jews,
Christian Copts, Maronites, Assyrians, and elsewhere have been murdered or
injured. The number of murdered Christians ranges from 200 000-300 000 in the
period 1955-2009.
8e.
Aiding and abetting the enemy, the Global Islamic Ummah, of committing genocide
against Middle Eastern Christians, by directly supporting the Muslim regimes and
refusing to send military aid to our allies, friends and fellow Christians in
Europe - especially in the Balkans, in the Middle East- especially Christian
Lebanese, Israeli and non-Israeli Jews, Christian Copts and Assyrians in various
Muslim dominated countries (primarily Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Iraq).
8f.
Indirectly aiding and abetting the enemy, the Global Islamic Ummah, by refusing
to rally and send military aid to our allies, friends and fellow Christians in
Africa - especially in Sudan but also in Southern Nigeria (Biafra) and other
areas of Africa where widespread Jihadi massacres and demographic warfare is
occurring. The cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elite’s
unwillingness/inabilities to act on these issues have resulted in the massacres
of hundreds of thousands of Christians and Animists.
We, the National Resistance Movements of Western Europe, are hereby giving you
the chance to exonerate yourselves if the following demands are met. The
following demands are forwarded to all Western European regimes controlled by
the MA 100 alliance (top 100 cultural Marxist/multiculturalist political
parties), affiliated NGOs and individual category A and B traitors:
To all category A and B traitors in the following countries:
United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden,
Denmark, Norway, Finland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Switzerland, Austria,
Iceland, Malta and Ireland
Description of the terms of capitulation
You are to immediately order the national police and military forces in the
respective countries to stop persecuting any and all armed National Resistance
Movements/Indigenous Rights Movements and allow us to create a tribunal
consisting of 20 cultural conservative/nationalist intellectuals/political
leaders per country. These individuals must oppose Islamisation,
multiculturalism and have a long and credible track record in patriotic oriented
political activism. All selected individuals must be staunch supporters of
nationalistic ideological principles.
You are to immediately allow this tribunal to mobilise a patriotic military
force (known as patriotic transitional guards) by allowing the tribunal, the
representatives of the National Resistance Movements unrestricted access to the
state broadcasting channel.
As soon as a military force/armed militia consisting of 1000 per 1 million
citizens has been established, the tribunal will declare a temporary suspension
of the constitution. This will be followed by a declaration of martial law which
will last until a new government has been established and order has been
restored. The force of “patriotic transitional guards”, lead by the tribunal, is
then to gain full control of the national military and police forces. Efforts
will then be made to immediately secure control of the border and all
significant state institutions. The tribunal will exercise the right to veto all
new bills and dictate all issues temporarily relating to international
agreements, security related issues, border control and all cultural issues
until the genocidal policies currently in effect have been removed and
appropriate measures have been implemented.
We can say the following to those who are screaming; “fascist coup!”:
The current multiculturalist regimes of Western Europe are not at all
democratic, this country is not democratic. They haven’t been democratic since
the 1950s. There is no basis for democracy when all state institutions including
schools/universities deliberately use advanced brainwashing techniques (as has
been described thoroughly) to condition the people from resisting their own
persecution and annihilation through the manifestations of cultural
Marxism/multiculturalist doctrines. Furthermore, there is no basis for democracy
when 99% of all journalists support and propagate multiculturalism and thus
collaborate with the political elites in their quest to indoctrinate the people.
There is no basis for democracy when all patriots and nationalists are ignored,
ridiculed or persecuted. Factors such as these and many more have resulted in
the Marxist tyranny we live under today. The political and cultural elites are
deliberately selling their own people into Islamic slavery by allowing Islamic
demographical warfare and by their reluctance to ensure a national indigenous
fertility rate of 2,1.
Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States and the author of the
US Declaration of Independence, stated;
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.”
He also wrote:
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is
the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new
Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organising its powers
in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and
Happiness. [...] It is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
Refreshing the tree is now long overdue as our countries are in a rapid state of
disintegration. It is VITAL and essential for the survival of European
civilisation and each respective Western European country that we refresh the
tree of liberty. The intention of the National Resistance Movement is to do
exactly that; to refresh the tree of liberty, and obviously not to cut it down.
Refreshing the tree of liberty involves a coup supported by a significant
portion of European patriots. It is impossible to guarantee a democratically
sanctioned coup as we have to keep in mind that Europeans have been brainwashed
now for two generations. Many will oppose us for our stance and call us fascist.
Nevertheless, it is essential to acknowledge and understand that we are not. We
are not fascists as we do not want a one party state. Only a coup (refreshing
the tree of liberty) can ensure the long term survival of the democratic model.
All coups involve the temporary suspension of the constitution. Thomas Jefferson
himself knew that. However, the goal of the coup is, as stated, not to chop down
the tree of liberty but to refresh it.
The cultural conservative tribunal, in
light of their newly gained powers will implement the following reforms:
1. Security measures
a.
Place patriotic minded individuals in charge of all branches and sub groups of
the military, customs, the police force and the intelligence agency where this
is necessary.
b.
Further develop and maintain a force of “patriotic transitional guards”
consisting of 3000 per million citizens minimum. This loyalist military force
will be administrated as an independent military branch and will be added in
addition to existing security forces. They will oversee and contribute to the
future deportation of all Muslims.
c.
Deportation policies: All Muslims
are to be immediately deported to their country of origin. Each family (family
head) will receive 25 000 Euro providing they accept the deportation terms.
Anyone who violently resists deportation will be executed.
2. Compensation for past war crimes and persecution
a.
Financial compensation will be distributed to all nationalists/patriots and a
public acknowledgement will be made of the several decade long unlawful
political persecutions of nationalist oriented political activists since 1950
until today. Financial compensation
and public acknowledgement must be granted to patriotic/nationalist minded
contributors from all 8 political fronts who have been indirectly and directly
persecuted in Western Europe since 1950.
b.
A full pardon and financial compensation will be distributed to all patriotic
minded individuals who have been or still are incarcerated in Western European
jails.
A full pardon and financial compensation must also be granted to all the 100 000
or so incarcerated individuals in Western European jails who has been partly or
fully condemned more harshly for their ideological beliefs, or who has been
indirectly incriminated due to primary or secondary effects of multiculturalist
political doctrines.
c.
Reparations of 500 billion Euros will be paid to the Serbian people for war
crimes committed by NATO, under US and European cultural Marxist orders, during
the Balkan wars. The US and all European NATO countries are to pay reparations
to the Serbian people (250 billion Euros for each block). Alternatively,
European NATO countries may pay a smaller sum (50 billion Euros in reparations)
providing that they commit financially and militarily to carry the majority of
the cost relating to a future liberation of Kosovo and the rest of the Balkans
from Muslim rule. See another section for specific details regarding how this
operation is to be carried out.
3. Immunity from prosecution and punishment for traitors
All cultural Marxist/multiculturalist category A and B traitors will be granted
immunity from prosecution and punishment provided they capitulate before Jan. 1st,
2020 and give their full and unwavering support to the transitional patriotic
tribunal. A minimum requirement will be that they at least refrain from
criticising the patriotic reforms.
Any cultural Marxist breakaway/dissenting faction who refuses to acknowledge our
legitimacy before or during the transitional phase or any faction who directly
or indirectly support violent opposition will be severely punished. All category
A and B traitors who continue to oppose us will be executed.
4. An immediate removal of all multiculturalist political policies
All multiculturalist political doctrines (laws included) designed to deconstruct
European culture, traditions, identities and nation states will be removed.
Political reforms will be initiated aimed at public institutions, schools,
universities with the goal of removing all multiculturalist policies and
completely rewrite falsified multiculturalist school curriculums.
Multiculturalism and the primary destructive components of Marxism will be
banned by law as an anti-European hate ideology.
Islam will be banned as a genocidal, anti-kafr hate ideology (this can obviously
only be done after the national security situation is fully under control.
5. Implementation of nationalistic doctrines on all levels of society
This will include the following:
a.
A re-emphasis on political support for the continuation of the cultural heritage
and traditions of the indigenous populations. See other chapter for full
description.
b.
Choosing and implementing a new birth policy – the conservative model or the
feminist model. Depending on which model is chosen; implement all relating
policies and change the required laws in relation to the societal social
structures. Without a fundamental change in our social structures we will be
unable to meet the minimum requirement for a sustainable fertility rate: 2,1.
See other chapter for full description.
c.
Implement the political policies and laws which lay the foundation for the
desired social structures. Our
societies will go from being matriarchies to once again becoming patriarchies.
See other chapter for full description.
d.
Implementation of the new foreign policy (aid policies, diplomatic relations,
general foreign affairs). The Balkans will be liberated from Islamic occupation.
However, no measures will be taken against Turkey until the US implodes or
bursts out into civil war due to multiculturalism. See other chapter for full
description.
e.
Appoint nationalist oriented individuals as heads in all public offices. Ensure
that our media companies, publishing firms, schools and universities are no
longer exploited as an arena where Marxist oriented individuals are allowed to
influence and indoctrinate individuals. A special emphasis must be directed at
the faculties of sociology, journalism and political science. See other chapter
for full description.
f.
Create liberal zones as a method to avoid conflict between cultural
conservatives and individuals who seeks unrestricted freedoms. Liberal zones may
be granted semi-autonomy. See other chapter for more details.
6.
Media reforms and future restrictions
a.
Campaigns will be initiated consisting of affirmative action of nationalistic
minded individuals (anti-multiculturalists) to all broadcasting/news/media
companies with a given distribution network. A minimum of 50% of all journalists
should be nationalist oriented individuals (anti-multiculturalist). The
news/media coverage of national and international political issues especially
concerning security, defence, culture, social structures and
immigration/deportation should reflect the new political climate. Efforts must
also be made to counter any foreign psychological warfare campaigns and to
prevent any foreign state from severely undermining the political transitional
tribunal during this period.
b.
Multiculturalist media programs which are directly or indirectly undermining
national cohesion or the political doctrines related to newly adopted birth
policies will be prevented or may be restricted to liberal zones of that
country. There will be certain censoring of anti-national/Marxist programs until
liberal zones has been created.
Destructive lifestyles must not be glorified as it undermines the new policy
which includes the revitalisation of cultural confidence and a strengthening of
national cohesion. Sex and the city lifestyles must not be glorified as it
undermines the nations goal to increase the average birth rate from 1,5 to
2,1-2,3. However, this depends on which birth policy will be selected (the
feminist birth policy will allow the continuation of displaying and
glorification of certain negative lifestyles.
7.
New civilisational goal: 20% of the annual national budget must be reserved for
the furtherance of the nation. This will ensure a future of prosperity and a
high living standard. These funds will be reserved for research and development
in relation to science and technology. Under no circumstances should these
resources be transferred to cover other deficits.
8. After the transitional period has ended
We will reform our democratical model from a “mass-democracy model” to a model
more resembling the Russian system of administered democracy. The patriotic
tribunal will remain as a guardian council after the transitional period has
ended. Their primary tasks and roles will consist of the following:
-
The national military command, the patriotic guard and the police forces will
all be under the direct and full control of the of the guardian council and not
the government. However, the government will have the right to decide just about
any other matter with only a few exceptions.
-
The guardian council will prevent hardcore Marxists/cultural Marxists from once
again infiltrating the various sectors of society.
-
The guardian council will ensure that the suicidal humanists and capitalist
globalists do not misuse their influence in a way that significantly undermines
the country or the people.
-
The guardian council will ensure that the nation maintains a fertility rate of
at least 2,1. If the government fails to reach this target, the guardian council
may implement any and all measures necessary in order to reach sustainability.
-
The guardian council will ensure that monocultural and cultural conservative
doctrines are enacted.
-
The guardian council may veto any resolution but should under optimal
circumstances never have to exercise this right.
General demands from the people which are covered in the above policies
1.
The right to maintain our traditional majorities in our own lands, control our
own sovereignty and our own self-determination. We do not wish harm or
ill-feeling toward any other peoples on earth, but we assert the right to
maintain our own majorities in our own lands without being accused of "racism."
We reject current trends, institutionalised through multiculturalism, which
preach that we have no right to oppose, control or lessen unlimited immigration
from non-indigenous cultures.
2. The right to teach our children
our cultures, languages, historical interpretations, religious celebrations and
traditions unimpeded. We reject educational trends, , institutionalised through
multiculturalism, which encourage our children to forget or despise their
culture, traditions, religious practices and history in order to avoid offense
to non-indigenous European residents or citizens.
3. The right to maintain, cherish
and practice our own indigenous religious holidays and celebrations. We reject
out of hand current trends, institutionalised through multiculturalism,
which preach that traditional indigenous European religious or cultural
celebrations such as Christmas are somehow "racist" or "non-inclusive" and
therefore must be "downgraded," "renamed" or otherwise de-emphasised or
eliminated in order to avoid offending non-indigenous European residents or
citizens. We reject current policies which establish that our indigenous
cultures are somehow deficient and therefore are not complete until they are
"enriched" by other, non-indigenous cultures.
4. The right to maintain, cherish
and display our own indigenous religious, national, ethnic and cultural symbols.
We reject out of hand current trends or policies, institutionalised through
multiculturalism, which preach that our national flags or ethnic symbols of
centuries standing are somehow "racist" or "non-inclusive" in order to avoid
offense to non-indigenous European residents or citizens.
5. The right to maintain, cherish,
protect and display our own indigenous cultural expressions such as music,
artwork and sculptures. We reject out of hand current trends or policies,
institutionalised through multiculturalism, which preach that indigenous
European cultural expressions such as statues of boars, folkloric tales about
pigs or dogs, paintings with Christian or Classical pagan themes, war memorials
with a Christian theme, etc., should be removed from public view, banned,
destroyed, modified or otherwise threatened in order to avoid offense to
non-indigenous European residents or citizens.
6. The right to maintain, cherish
and protect indigenous burial sites, structures, buildings, churches, museums
and other public works and structures from destruction, modification or other
changes. We reject out of hand current trends or policies, institutionalised
through multiculturalism, which
establish that indigenous public works and structures must be changed or
modified to avoid offense to non-indigenous European residents or citizens, or
to "make way" for structures or public works that benefit non-European residents
or citizens (i.e. digging up indigenous graves that are centuries old in order
to "make room" for non-indigenous cemeteries, removing external Christian
symbols and statues from churches, etc.)
Mr. Franco Frattini of the EU Commission, the unelected and unaccountable
government for nearly half a billion people, has stated that Europeans should
accept further tens of millions of immigrants within a generation. The British
Foreign Minister Milliband stated late in 2007 that the EU should expand to
include Muslim nations in North Africa and the Middle East. The French President
Sarkozy and the German Chancellor Angela Merkel confirmed this early in 2008.
This is part of an organised attempt to surrender Europe to Islamisation that
has been going on for decades. Since the European Union involves the free
movement of people across borders, European leaders are opening the floodgates
to tens of millions of Muslims and other non-indigenous peoples at a time when
native Europeans fear for the survival of their civilisation and feel like
aliens in their own cities. Meanwhile, Ernst Uhrlau, the president of Germany's
foreign intelligence agency, warned about the rising assertiveness of violent
Jihadist organisations in North Africa.
Based on this evidence, the European Union, all MA100 political parties
(Multiculturalist Alliance 100, European political parties in support of
multiculturalism), and other political entities influencing European
decision-making, can hardly be seen as anything other than criminal
organisations dedicated to the demographic dispossession and cultural
marginalisation of the indigenous peoples of an entire continent. Consequently,
the EU should be immediately dissolved. Native Europeans should demand that we
have an interim period with public de-Eurabification, where the lies propagated
by pro-Islamic Multiculturalists should be removed from our history books, and a
proper respect for European cultural traditions should be restored. Those
individuals and officials on senior levels who have participated in the creation
and/or implementation of European multiculturalism/“the Eurabia project” should
stand trial for crimes against their civilisation.
Multiculturalism, like drugs, is an insidious weapon. Both destroy the heart and
fabric of a people. All ties to family, community, and one's people as a whole
are destroyed by these two opiates of the human mind. Both are sponsored from
the top down by one world elitists bent upon creating a world order who's power
is such that its subjects posses no potential for resistance.
By its very nature every emerging police state seeks to harness both the power
of the state and the people to its will. When calls are made for support of
cryptic slogans such as war on crime, drugs, terrorism, hate, poverty, etc. what
is really meant is "grant power to the state and applaud the rape of your
freedom." In sum: multiculturalism is another program designed to create the
subjects of a Police State without borders. When coupled with the "war on drugs"
and "war on terrorism," Orwell's world of endless war is realised. It would be
their world, their orders, and nothing new, for a lust for despotism is as old
as mankind himself.
The anti-thesis of multiculturalism is moral, religious, and cultural solidarity
among the people of a nation. So is the belief in one's self and the ultimate
good of his people. A cohesiveness that produces a national vision, with set
boundaries of acceptability and unacceptability in the affairs of a nation,
while allowing for the natural differences in men. Multiculturalism as a tool of
warfare becomes impotent and rejected in such an environment.
A necessary first step toward recovery is to look at politics, social policy,
and government emanating from Brussels with new eyes, unclouded by a lifetime of
false information and deception propagated by elitist sponsors. Pretending any
longer that the bought and paid for political prostitutes in your parliament and
the EU parliament represent you or anyone you know is tantamount to cutting your
own wrist with a razor blade. Self-destructive behaviour may qualify one for
government "protected class status" under diversity laws, but it will not save
you, your family, or your nation.
Democratical struggle through dialogue and armed oppression and/or resistance
have always gone hand in hand.
War or armed resistance has traditionally always been used as a last resort,
used when dialogue has proven to be ineffective. The justification for use of
armed resistance against the European cultural Marxist/multiculturalist systems
is tied to the outlook for cultural conservative political success. You have to
ask yourself; is it remotely possible under the current conditions that a
conservative, monocultural political party will ever gain substantial political
influence? An increasing number of Europeans are opening their eyes to the
reality that the democratical struggle through dialogue has been lost. The
cultural Marxists have institutionalised multiculturalism and have no intention
of ever allowing us to exercise any political influence of significance. In
theory we, the cultural conservatives of Europe, have become slaves under an
oppressive, tyrannical, extreme left-wing system with absolutely no hope of
reversing the damage they have caused. At least not democratically..
It is meaningless to participate in the democratical process when you are not
allowed to raise important issues without being subjected to political and
social persecution through stigmatisation and ridicule. It is time to
acknowledge that we, the cultural conservatives of Western Europe, are deceiving
ourselves to believe that it is remotely possible to change the system
democratically.
The continuation of the ongoing peaceful dialogue with the cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists only serves to further diminish our demographical
advantages. They are growing stronger while we are being weakened every year. It
is counter-productive, even lethal to waste another five decades on meaningless
dialogue while we are continuously losing our demographical advantage. We have
never and will never be allowed to ever exercise any influence. The cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist elites nationally and in Brussels have for the last
five decades created a resilient system whose objective is to ridicule,
persecute, harass and silence us. They will continue to systematically
marginalise us until the day when we are no longer a threat to them.
The following arguments will further underline why any democratical or peaceful
cultural conservative victory of significance is impossible:
Cultural Marxist institutionalised ideological coercion and brainwashing
Western
Europeans are today being ideologically coerced and brainwashed from young age
as multiculturalism has been institutionalised (in all government spheres). By
doing so they are systematically modifying people’s social and political
philosophy and instilling certain attitudes and beliefs with the aim of
affecting individual value systems and subsequent thought-patterns and
behaviours. This has been done by creating, justifying, propagating and
implementing the European hate ideology known as multiculturalism, the use of
falsified or biased statistics, falsified or biased sources, biased coverage of
global conflicts and systematically labelling everyone who opposes the “cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist/extreme egalitarian” world view as bigots, racists and
fascists (sub-human).
Corruption and feminisation of political parties and individuals by
indirect/direct coercion
You cannot become the government unless you bow to the views of the
'Centre-Left' Multiculturalist media elite, especially the broadcast media
elite.
Very few politicians manage to maintain their integrity, their honour and
truthfulness throughout this process. More or less every political party and a
majority of individuals will ultimately become corrupted by Cultural Marxist
doctrines. Almost everyone will eventually be swayed into supporting the
Multiculturalist world view.
More than 85% of Western European politicians and more than 95% of EU
parliamentarians support the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist world view
(European multiculturalism).
Yet, almost 50% of Europeans would support a cultural conservative world view.
Very few will admit it as open support will involve certain stigmatisation. In
other words, the politicians, in an anti-democratical manner are acting against
the wishes of Europeans and have been for decades.
Systematically import of multiculturalist/socialist voters
Year after year, Islam is growing rapidly in Western Europe; from 50 000 in 1955
to 25 million today, in 2008. Islam will continue to increase through
demographical warfare (high birth rates combined with immigration) from 5% to
10, to 25 until it reaches 50%. For every newborn Muslim in Europe the cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists will automatically get one more vote. And as we all
know 98% of Muslims give their votes to the Multiculturalist Alliance, the
“MA100” (pro-multiculturalism European political parties), the enablers of
Islamisation. The MA100 political parties are thus selling their own people into
Muslim slavery.
85% of all Muslims vote for Socialist parties (according to Norwegian
statistics).
99% of all Muslims vote for pro-Multiculturalist parties (according to Norwegian
statistics). There is no reason to believe that these statistics are not
representative for other Western European countries.
Cultural Marxist/multiculturalist/suicidal humanist/globalist media
"[In the West] unpopular ideas can be silenced, and inconvenient facts kept
dark, without any need for an official ban."
George Orwell, UK writer
The
ultural Marxist media (politically correct MSM) are actively propagating
multiculturalism and anti-traditionalism/nationalism and are therefore actively
contributing to the annihilation of European identities, cultures and national
sovereignty. 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 politically correct
“surrender-monkeys” and the Nazis. If we are not the former, then it follows by
logic that we have to be the latter. This attitude betrays an all-pervasive
hatred that demonises absolutely anything Europeans do to protect their dignity,
culture and heritage. It closely mirrors multiculturalism, which is an
anti-Western, but especially an anti-European hate ideology.
Ask yourself, do you know a single media company who openly opposes
multiculturalism and the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist world view? More than
95% of journalists, editors, publishers support the Islamisation of Europe
indirectly or directly by supporting and propagating the European
multiculturalist world view[3]. Yet, almost 50% of Europeans would support
cultural conservative policies. Very few will admit it as it would involve
certain stigma. In other words, the so called “free press” is not free at all.
The mainstream media has been hijacked by cultural Marxists, humanists and
globalists and are not acting in the interest of Europeans and Europe.
The Muslim riots in France, on July 8th-15th, 2009,
illustrated this well. The French Interior Ministry issued orders to the
prefects not to communicate to the media the crime statistics and other
essential information. Furthermore,
mainstream media companies were specifically instructed not to cover the riots
as the Interior Minister ordered a full Media Blackout. In addition;
Orders
not to speak to the media were given to firemen, gendarmes and police.
Leaks indicated however that
aprox. 800-1500 cars, tens of buildings and forests were burned down in this
period, more than 13 police officers were injured and more than 300 Muslim
youths arrested[1][2]. The frightening thing is that no mainstream media
companies (Western Europe/US) reported anything about this to their populations.
This specific incident and hundreds of “similar” incidents prove that the
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist governments and the media companies are
colluding against their people by doing everything to keep the truth from them.
They know that the multicultural doctrines will lead us to disaster but are
intent to continue to propagate, implement and “protect” the European
multiculturalist system, despite how much human misery it will result in along
the way (just like Soviet Russia during the 70s and 80s).

News corporations, controlled by cultural Marxists/multiculturalists, full scale
war against cultural conservatism/nationalism.
This involves thousands of examples of character assassinations (everything from
a hatchet job on a Bruce Bawer book portraying him as a
“foam-around-mouth-racist to ignoring other essential works completely)
and other direct attacks and deliberate “media blackouts” regarding
Muslim riots (and other issues they do not wish to cover) in Western Europe.
On September 14th, 2009, a person I am familiar with was contacted by
a friend who works for a major Norwegian news agency. He told him about
something terrifying and upsetting he had been witness to regarding the coverage
of the Gøteborg intifada (Muslim Riots in Gøteborg, Sweden during Ramadan in
August/September). According to
him, all major news agencies in Norway (in cooperation with the largest Swedish
news agency) had made an alliance in order to prevent the truth from getting
out, or at least keep the truth from getting out for as long as possible and at
least until after the Norwegian elections September 13th.
His exact words were;
“It is a dangerous road we are walking when the truth is systematically held
back and when we are willing to go this far in order to cover up the
consequences of the multicultural society. This has been allowed to develop to a
degree where it is a democratical problem. “
It is really disturbing how the major news agencies managed to reach a consensus
regarding this deliberate cover-up or “media blackout” with the intention of
censoring the riots. How was it possible that we would end up with a
synchronised media corps which is willing to go this far to hold back the truth
from the Norwegian/Swedish people about something so important?
The following log describes how this transpired:
August 21/22nd
– reports are received in major news desks regarding Muslim riots in Gøteborg,
Sweden. An article is created in one agency but the chief editor decides not to
publish it.
August 22nd
– a manifest of Jihad is posted in Rosengård, Sweden, Norwegian media companies
are informed about this on the 23rd. It is clear now to many of the
chief editors in the major Norwegian news agencies that this indicates that the
rioting will continue and that it is indeed news worthy. However, most of them
assume (hope) the riots will end within a week at most.
August 23rd
– Early in the morning, the chief editor in
Aftenposten, Hilde Haugsgjerd was
contacted by Jan Helin in the major Swedish newspaper
Aftonbladet where she is asked to
keep a lid on the story and/or at least write as little as possible about the
riots. She is told to inform other Norwegian chief editors. It is unknown what
else was discussed.
After this phone call with Jan Heling, Hilde Haugsgjerd calls the chief editor
in Dagbladet, Anne Aasheim where they
agree that this is a story which could significantly benefit the Norwegian
Progress Party (FrP, the only anti-immigration party) as it would put
immigration/asylum seeker/Islam related discussions on the agenda just before
the elections. This must be prevented at all costs. They agree to contact chief
editors in all major Norwegian news agencies and hold a teleconference where
they discuss this issue later that day (it should be noted that ALL Norwegian
news agencies are supporters of multiculturalism with many of its key personnel
with political Marxist/pro-multiculturalist background). According to the
source, it has been confirmed that the following individuals participated in the
teleconference:
Editor of VG Nett: Espen Egil Hansen
(on behalf of Bernt Olufsen), Hans-Tore Bjerkaas (editor in
NRK), Carsten Bleness (editor in
Dagsavisen), Jan Ove Årsæther (editor
in TV2), Hilde Haugsgjerd (Aftenposten)
and Anne Aasheim (Dagbladet).
According to the source, there was a tense mood among the participants. Espen
Egil Hansen and Jan Ove Årsæther suggested to give the story ”some” coverage so
that there would be no speculations concerning the fact that Norwegian news
agencies had censored the riots if they lasted longer than expected. They drew
parallels to the Paris riots and discussed that it could escalate. According to
the source, Anne Aasheim raged at Espen Egil Hansen and Jan Over Årsæther and
accused them of promoting racism and helping the Progress Party election
apparatus (FrP) by wanting to cover the riots.
They all agreed in the end that the most pragmatical approach was to not cover
the riots at all and to inform other editors in different news agencies to
deliberately ignore it as well.
August 28th
– two murder attempts on Swedish police officers and multiple arsons of cars and
buildings results in a situation where the major Swedish news agencies are
“forced” to cover the riots to a certain degree. As before, it is decided that
the word: “Islam”, “Muslim”, “Jihad” or “intifada” shall not be included in any
articles or reports (this is a common consensus among European MSM in general).
An increasing amount of tips (and demands from individuals to cover the events)
pours in to the Norwegian news desks but still they all refuse to cover it (only
1-2 weeks until the Norwegian elections).
6-8 September
- They manage to maintain censorship until around September 6-8th.
After that, reports are starting to be published on independent blogs and these
events are being distributed on the internet. Many individuals on online forums
are demanding that the MSM cover the events and they are calling it an outrage
and un-democratic behaviour. The pressure increases on the news agencies.
At this point, Hilde Haugsgjerd starts to doubt whether it is too risky to
continue the media blackout. She is starting to experience increased pressure
from her own staff (Aftenposten used
to be a cultural conservative news paper up to 1972, when it was infiltrated by
cultural Marxists, and is still regarded as the most conservative of the MSM
news agencies). After a few phone calls back and forth among the editors during
this time the issue is discussed again and they are evaluating the possibility
to end the censorship. However, they all agree to continue with the media
blackout.
September 13th
(1 day before the Norwegian election) – Hilde Haugsgjerd makes a call to Anne
Aasheim and tells her that she is going to publish a short article about the
riots, but that she will make it moderate (scaled down) and will ensure that the
article is not highlighted. This decision is made to create a sort of alibi so
that conservatives cannot claim that
Aftenposten is deliberately plotting against the Norwegian people by
participating in non-democratic activities (deliberate media blackouts). At this
point there are loud discussion on various forums and blogs about the MSMs “full
scale war” against the Progress Party (FrP).
Some of the explanations used to conservatives who have demanded coverage in
this period (regarding the Swedish, British, French riots) include:
-
NRK:
Three different explanations: “Not newsworthy” and “we haven’t heard anything
about this” and “the decision to cover this story is under consideration”.
-
TV2:
“We haven’t heard anything about this”
-
Aftenposten:
“Our reporter (who was about to cover this) is sick, we will cover it shortly”
September 14th
– Norwegian elections – Progress Party result: 22,9% (down 6-8 percentage points
from earlier polls due to intensive media attacks from a synchronised news corps
for eight weeks straight.
September 20th
– NRK, the Norwegian state channel,
is now (after 6 weeks!) running a television broadcasted story about the
intifada in Gøteborg, Sweden, one week after the election…
Conclusion:
All major news agencies in Norway deliberately conspired (and continue to
conspire) against the Norwegian people and sabotaged the 2009 election by
initiating media blackouts of essential events (the Muslim intifada in Gøteborg,
the Muslim riots in several places in the UK and the Muslim riots in France a
couple of months earlier). Not only did they “rob” the the Progress Party of
essential coverage which would have guaranteed the party at least 28-30% of the
votes (if these events had been given the appropriate coverage and attention).
Every single news agency (some of which had been neutral towards the Progress
Party in many cases) synchronised a “full scale media/labeling war” (employing
primarily scare tactics and various other attacks) against the Progress Party
eight weeks before the election. At this time the Progress Party was at 28-30%
on multiple polls and I guess the MSM panicked (as the following 8 weeks of
synchronised war campaign indicates).
At the end of the day, they, the major news agencies succeeded in sabotaging the
election again and ruining the FrP turnout. FrP bled during this media war
campaign and lost 6-8 percentage points, ending on 22,9%.
The almighty Norwegian/Swedish cultural Marxist media corps significantly
manipulated the Norwegian election and the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
government (consisting of the Labour Party, Socialist Left Party and Center
Party) were allowed to continue their old path of mass-Muslim immigration
(colonisation) and Islamisation of Norway.
These types of un-democratic media strategies are not limited to Norway/Sweden
but are prevalent in all Western European countries. France is a very good
example where media blackouts are increasingly common (even by ministerial
instruction).
There is no such thing as a “free press” in Western Europe and there haven’t
been since the last cultural conservative (critical of multiculturalism) news
agencies where infiltrated during the 1970s. A majority of Western European
countries do not have a single cultural conservative news agency left which is
contributing to paralyze our democracies by making them dysfunctional. This
again contributes to radicalise moderate cultural conservative forces because an
increasing number of people feel that we are now living in a repressive
totalitarian cultural Marxist/multiculturalist state.
There is no democracy in Western Europe, and Norway and Sweden are two of the
world’s most repressive Marxist regimes.
You are not democratic unless you are a cultural Marxist/ multiculturalist?!
Israel's ambassador to Sweden has been summoned[1] by Sweden's foreign office to
discuss the diplomatic discord following an article in a national newspaper[2]
claiming Israeli soldiers harvest the organs of dead Palestinians. The
diplomatic spat has its source in the decision by the
Aftonbladet[3] newspaper to publish
the article which details allegations of the systematic harvesting of the organs
of Palestinian men. The Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman compared the
allegations to old antisemitic lies. "It is regrettable that the Swedish foreign
ministry does not intervene when it comes to a blood libel against Jews, which
reminds one of Sweden's conduct during World War II when it also did not
intervene," an Israeli government statement quoted Lieberman as saying.
Sweden's foreign minister Carl Bildt[4] has rejected calls from Israel for the
government to distance itself from the newspaper article. Writing on his
blog[5], Bildt argues that Sweden's free press and tradition of free speech are
the best defence against "breaches of judgment, bad taste and transgressions of
core societal values." "There are calls from some quarters in Israel that we in
some way or another should take an official position to distance ourselves from
this article or even to intervene to prevent such an article being published,"
Bildt states. "But our country does not work that way - and neither should it."
The foreign minister concludes by defending the importance of protecting free
speech.
The fact that the anti-Israeli and anti-American writer Helle Klein, for many
years the political editor of Aftonbladet,
at her blog[6] also speaks warmly of "free speech" is such an extreme case of
hypocrisy that it simply cannot go unanswered. Free speech does not exist in
Sweden. Although some countries such as Britain and Belgium are trying hard to
claim the title, I would personally rate Sweden as being probably the most
totalitarian and politically repressive country in the entire Western world as
of 2009, and Aftonbladet has made
substantial contributions to this repressive climate. Sweden has huge problems
caused by mass immigration, and Muslim immigration in particular, but speaking
honestly about this is absolutely taboo among the mainstream media. According to
journalist Karen Jespersen[7], Helle Klein has stated that "If the debate is
[about] that there are problems caused by refugees and immigrants, we don't want
it." Opinion polls have revealed that two out of three Swedes doubt whether
Islam can be combined with Swedish society, yet not one party represented in
parliament has been genuinely critical of the immigration policies, and there is
virtually no real debate about multiculturalism and Islam.
As I have stated in my essay Why
Europeans Should Support Israel[8], the demonisation of Israel should be
rejected not just because of Israel, but because of Europe. The very same people
who are demonising Israelis are also demonising native Europeans who resist the
Islamisation of their lands and the state-sponsored colonisation of their
countries by alien peoples. The truth is that Israelis defend themselves so that
their daughters do not have to suffer rape at the hands of Muslim Jihadists, the
way the authorities in Western European countries, and in Sweden in particular,
allow to happen every single day. Here are a few relevant quotes from the
chapter The Case of Sweden[9], taken
from my book Defeating Eurabia[10]. I
suggest that Israelis send some of these quotes to
Aftonbladet, Helle Klein and Carl
Bildt and challenge them with the information it contains:
The Swedish organisation Expo has demonstrated a willingness to “share
information” with radical groups of “anti-Fascists” in
Antifascistisk Action (AFA). The thugs of AFA in the spring of 2008
destroyed[11] the car of an elderly woman and wrote “nasse“
(Nazi) on top of it. As it turned out, they picked the wrong car. Yet years of
such attacks against private citizens have not prompted the authorities to crack
down on their activities.
Leading newspaper
Aftonbladet
has close ideological ties to the Social
Democrats, the country’s dominant party for most of the past century. Helle
Klein, its political
editor-in-chief from 2001 to 2007, during a demonstration organised by Islamic
and anti-racist organisations in December 2006 stood in front of a banner which
read “A
Sweden
for all - Stop the Nazi violence“ and held a
speech warning against Islamophobia in the media. Klein has voiced sympathy for
terrorist organisation Hamas[12] in her editorials while warning against the
threat posed to world peace by Israeli aggression and the Christian Right in the
USA[13]. Hamas is a Fascist organisation openly calling for mass murder of Jews.
Violent attacks against Jews in Europe in 2008 are to an overwhelming degree
caused by Muslim immigration,
which is encouraged by the EU and the national
political elites. The irony of warning against
“Nazi violence” while showing sympathy for an organisation that wants to finish
what the Nazis started apparently doesn’t strike Ms. Klein.
One of Klein’s fellow columnists at
Aftonbladet, the
long-time Communist Robert Aschberg, is the publisher of
Expo
magazine. Leading Expo member Charles Westin in October 2007 published the book
Brunt!
(“brown,” as in “Fascist”), where he let members of AFA contribute some of their
intelligence regarding “right-wing extremists,” among them people associated
with the legal party the Sweden
Democrats. In addition to Mr. Westin, the book was co-authored by Mats Deland,
who is a journalist in Aftonbladet.
Why is it considered OK that a representative of one of Scandinavia’s largest
newspapers, with ties to the country’s largest
political party, thus associates himself openly
with an organisation known for physically assaulting members of a legal
opposition party, even in their private homes?
Before the elections in 2006, the established parties
cooperated in boycotting the Sweden
Democrats and other “xenophobic” parties. In one of many similar incidents,
which extreme Leftists bragged about on the Internet, around 30 members of the
SD were attacked during a peaceful, private party outside the town of Växjö. The
brave “anti-Fascists” threw tear gas into the building, forcing people outside
where they were beaten with iron bars and axes. Open, aggressive and sometimes
violent harassment of critics of the country’s
immigration policies has been going on for years
while the authorities have largely turned a blind eye to the problem. Seemingly
encouraged by the silence from the establishment to
political violence, extreme Leftists have stepped
up their attacks to include mainstream parties.
Sweden is witnessing the greatest explosion of
street violence in its history, and a woman is raped every two hours. Expo,
which is backed by the media and the major parties, has been campaigning against
the Sweden Democrats
for years. Daniel Poohl from the unelected organisation Expo states[14] that
it’s “not undemocratic” to deny the SD access to
political influence.
According to Jonathan Friedman, an American Jew working
in Sweden for years,
“no debate about immigration
policies is possible, the subject is simply avoided.
Sweden has such a close
connection between the various powerful groups, politicians, journalists, etc.
The political class is
closed, isolated.” The elites are worried to see their power slip away and
therefore want to silence critics, for instance the
Sweden Democrats, a small party opposed to
immigration: “It is a
completely legal party, they just aren’t allowed to speak.…In reality, the basis
of democracy has been completely turned on its head. It is said: ‘Democracy is a
certain way of thinking, a specific set of opinions, and if you do not share
them, then you aren’t democratic, and then we condemn you and you ought to be
eliminated. The People? That is not democratic. We the Elite, we are democracy.’
It is grotesque and it certainly has nothing to
do with democracy, more like a kind of moral
dictatorship.”
As Bruce Bawer writes in the article
While
Sweden Slept[15]: “Sweden Democrats have been
the targets of events that recall China’s Cultural Revolution. Staged ‘people’s
protests’ by members of the ‘youth divisions’ of other parties have led to the
firing of Sweden Democrats from their jobs. A few weeks ago, a junior diplomat
was dismissed when it became known that he was a member of the party and had
criticised his country’s immigration policy. On several occasions, thugs loyal
to the ruling parties have broken up SD meetings and beaten up party leaders.”
What do the governments in countries like Norway and Sweden do about it? They
continue to fund their Marxist lynch mobs as they are successfully silencing
their annoying political rivals.

One against all – cultural conservatives are quarantined and demonised
Even if a moderate right wing political party (against all odds) manage to gain
certain influence by avoiding cultural Marxist/multiculturalist attacks they
will not be able to accomplish anything unless they get more than 50% of the
votes. It is quite common for pro-multiculturalists to agree on a “cordon
sanitaire”, a well known and fundamentally un-democratic containment policy used
by the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist political parties to “quarantine”
cultural conservative parties in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Spain
and several other countries. Though in French the term originally denoted a
barrier implemented to stop the spread of disease, its use in English is almost
always metaphorical and political, and refers to attempts to prevent the spread
of an ideology deemed unwanted or dangerous.
A “cordon sanitaire” has been agreed upon by the establishment against the
Swedish party: Sweden Democrats, in France against the National Front and
several other countries.
The most successful anti-Islamisation party in Europe; the Norwegian Progress
Party (22% last election) has achieved absolutely nothing during the last eight
years. They have presented hundreds of new bills and suggestions related to
Islamisation and re-introducing cultural conservative policies but more than 95%
of them have been rejected (due to the fact that all the other parties support
multiculturalism and an appeasement approach).
EUSSR political terror and persecution
An increasing number of people will come to realise that a democratic victory in
Europe is not possible. The “Austria/Haider incident” is a good illustration. As
soon as a government is elected which opposes the “EU’s Eurabia project/European
multiculturalism” they are immediately and effectively neutralised. In Austria’s
example, EU imposed 7 months of sanctions and rallied the worlds cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist media organisations. There is ample evidence by
reviewing the coverage during these events that the EU leaders and the European
mainstream media deliberately launched a campaign of psychological warfare with
the strategy of terrorising the Austrian population in order to achieve the goal
of turning them against their leadership. The Austrian population was
effectively coerced into changing their views as it is unbearable to be
portrayed as “a country full of Nazis” by the world press.
Quick summary
1.
We are subject to cultural Marxist/multiculturalist institutionalised
ideological coercion and brainwashing through government institutions. Private
institutions are forced to conform to the same cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
principles.
2.
More or less every media organisation is propagating cultural Marxist/
multiculturalist principles. “Free press” in Western Europe does not exist. The
mainstream media has been hijacked by cultural Marxists/multiculturalists and
are not acting in the interest of Europeans and Europe. There is no freedom of
speech in Europe. If you don’t cheer and embrace your own annihilation you are a
racist bigot, an enemy of the establishment and must be suppressed, ridiculed,
undermined and persecuted. This policy of oppression and persecution has been
ongoing since the creation of multiculturalism in the 50s, 60s and 70s.
Political, cultural and media elites are colluding against the interests of free
indigenous Europeans.
3.
The cultural Marxists/multiculturalists systematically import millions of voters
which increases their political position from year to year. It is simply not
possible to compete democratically with regimes who import millions of voters.
4.
Right wing political parties fight an up-hill battle and every single bill and
suggestion is ultimately rejected. This leaves the cultural conservatives
(anti-multiculturalist) parties in Western Europe with zero influence. As such,
the right wing parties indirectly contribute to pacify the cultural
conservatives of Europe by giving them false hope. Instead of telling their
sympathisers to give them their vote they should admit to everyone and announce
publicly that the democratical struggle has been lost and that all cultural
conservatives should initiate armed resistance against the cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist establishment.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution
inevitable.”
John F. Kennedy
The cultural Marxists have for more than 50 years disregarded the will of the
majority of Europeans. The time for dialogue is now over. The time for armed
resistance has come.
The most basic human right is to defend oneself against deliberate cultural
attacks or even an institutionalised cultural genocide of unprecedented
historical proportions. It’s not just a right but a duty for all Europeans to
defend oneself against such atrocities through armed struggle. We call upon you,
fellow Europeans. Stop complaining and instead fight by our side.
We, the patriotic Europeans, will continue to effectively revolt against the
“Nazis of our time”; the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elites, who are
leading us to the cultural slaughterhouse by selling us into Muslim slavery.
Yes, we have lost the democratical struggle to defend Europe from deliberate
cultural annihilation. As more people realise this we will see an increasing
number of Europeans joining our ranks to fight by our side.
Many brothers and sisters have fallen already, the pioneers, the brave heroes,
and the first to pick up their guns. We are the legacy of these first “unknown”
pioneers. We did not want this but we are left no choice. Armed struggle is the
only rational approach.
We, the free indigenous peoples of Europe, hereby declare a pre-emptive war on
all cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elites of Western Europe.
And we have a very clear message for you:
We know who you are, where you live and we are coming for you. If not today,
then tomorrow, if not in 10 years, then in 50 years. We are in the process of
flagging every single multiculturalist traitor in Western Europe. You will be
punished for your treasonous acts against Europe, and Europeans. We will ensure
that all category A and B traitors, the enablers of Islamisation and the
destroyers of our cultures, nations and societies, will be executed and your
property expropriated.
It will take us up to 70 years to win, but there is no doubt in our minds that
we will eventually succeed. Quite ironically, the ongoing Islamisation that you
so actively facilitate will be your downfall. Soon enough, the desperate cries
of the European masses will indicate that your Multiculturalist regimes are near
their end.
The Western European cultural Marxist/multiculturalist regimes will fall before
2083, of that you can be certain.

1.
The Multiculturalist Alliance might attempt to create several "mini-Pakistan’s"
within Europe (granting Muslims territory/autonomy). This must be stopped at all
costs.
2.
Reformation of Islam resulting in a secularised and impotent version who rejects
larger parts of Sharia law, the concept of Quranic abrogation, Al-Taqiyya, Jihad
and every “intolerant” sura and hadith. This scenario is very unlikely due to
the fact that it would only be supported by the secular Muslims.
3.
Coup - European Resistance Movements with the assistance of the national
militaries will successfully overthrow the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
regimes of Western Europe resulting in Muslim deportations (relatively few
casualties). This scenario is the preferred outcome.
4.
Civil war (cultural conservatives vs. cultural Marxists and Muslim forces) -
resulting in atrocities committed by both sides (Lebanon/Serbia variants).
Atrocities such as acts of genocide or unchecked pogroms might be a result in
scenario 1. 2. 3. or 4. Many inhabitants will flee to the US, Russia, Australia
or New Zealand.
One of the above scenarios is likely to happen before the end of Phase 2
(2030-2070) or in Phase 3.
One of the foundational problems in Europe today is that the multiculturalists
and the suicidal humanists lie to everyone to preserve comfortable illusions.
Political correctness is a mandatory lie in European societies.
The multiculturalists have traditionally cheered the most violent totalitarian
movements in other parts of the world as “freedom fighters” (Islamic and
communist organisations) while native Europeans in Denmark, Germany, the UK or
France who peacefully fight against becoming a persecuted minority in their own
country always are labeled as racists, fascists, Nazis and generally the worst
scum of the earth. Why are so called Palestinians who fight for their own
country “nice” while Europeans doing the same labeled as “evil”? The answer is
simple: Because native Norwegians, Brits, French, Germans are white Christians
and therefore evil by default according to multiculturalist doctrines.
It is expected that native Europeans shall humbly watch and applaud their own
annihilation and extinction. The fact that we are persecuted and harassed in our
own countries does not violate our human rights because we are white Christians
and therefore evil by default.
It is a pretty terrifying prospect that the prevailing ideology that dominates
Western Europe long term will result in the extermination of people like me and
you. Nevertheless, it is the only plausible theoretical explanation of the
current development. As such, multiculturalism is an inversed form of Nazism
where white European Christians ends up at the bottom of the food chain instead
of on top. Exactly how the Jews according to National Socialist doctrines
automatically were blamed for everything that went wrong in society.
Multiculturalisms doctrine teaches that “white racism” is the cause of all
problems in our societies. The indigenous peoples of Europe are increasingly
exposed to more violence, ridicule and persecution in cities all over Western
Europe. This does not result in any sympathy whatsoever. The multiculturalists
become increasingly hateful in their rhetorical attacks against us the more we
are humiliated by Muslims, groups they mass import to our countries. This tells
us everything we need to know about their real intentions.
As we all know a large portion of the multiculturalists lie about their motives
when justifying mass Muslim immigration. The most common lie is the “humanist
justification”. If they were honest they would say the following:
We believe the typical European Christian man and woman, Christendom and
European nationalism is the cancer of the world so we have decided to
exterminate it. We will do this through multiculturalism. The next decades we
will deconstruct European identity, European traditions, European culture,
European Christendom and European nation states. This is a long term project
that will involve new waves of the colonisation of Europe by the Islamic world
etc.
Obviously, everyone with half a brain understands that this type of honesty
would only result in violent uprisings. We, Europeans, would simply never accept
it. This is why deceit is necessary and this is why all multiculturalists are
using humanist principles as a deceptive mask to justify the overwhelming
reforms we are witnessing today. Humanism is systematically exploited as a smoke
screen by the multiculturalists and Muslim lobbyists that has resulted in
liberal family reunification and political asylum arrangements. These are
political mechanics which facilitates Islamic demographical warfare.
Differentiating between Marxists, humanists, career cynicists and capitalist
globalists
How shall we differentiate between hardcore Marxists, cultural Marxists,
suicidal humanists/career cynicists and the capitalist globalists? The common
factor here is that they all believe they are doing the right thing, so they all
have good intentions, at least according to themselves. But this can also be
said about Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot. They were all idealists in their own
twisted way. Regardless of their twisted intentions they are all mass murderers
and must be treated as such.
The only thing that separates Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot with today’s cultural
Marxists, suicidal humanists, career cynicists and capitalist globalists
(multiculturalists) is that the tyrants of today are all directly responsible
for the extermination of THEIR OWN people and intend to sell the rest into
Islamic slavery. Never in the history of man has an ideology revolved around the
concept of exterminating its own people. As such, multiculturalism is truly
unique in human history.
The intentions of our enemies in relation to future executions and a possible
new Nurnberg process (prosecution of category A, B and C traitors).
Mapping the enemy (definitions):
Traditional Marxists, cultural Marxists, suicidal humanists, career cynicists
and capitalist globalists – all support and propagate multiculturalism
Proving each individuals real intention is a complicated process as most of
today’s cultural Marxists disguise their true agenda by using humanistic
principles and rhetoric (at least publicly) as a basis for justifying their
actions. However, we know that a good portion of them (more than 30% of our
opposition) use this smoke screen of humanist deception to hide their hatred for
everything European.
What complicates this process further is the fact that the ongoing European
civil war is not a class war but a cultural war. Motives are overlapping and old
definitions are outdated. The old fundamental definitions were nationalists vs.
communists, or socialists vs. capitalists. Many of today’s multiculturalists are
capitalists and some of today’s cultural conservatives support a very solidaric
economical system. More or less every humanist/social democrat etc. is a
multiculturalist as they support liberal political mechanics such as family
reunification and asylum arrangements which again facilitates Islamic
demographical warfare. Some of these individuals are true humanists and just
extremely naive, yet others are just hiding behind humanist rhetoric and really
want to destroy European culture, traditions, identity, Christendom and national
sovereignty.
An estimate showing the opponents of cultural conservative doctrines
(anti-nationalists):
-
Hardcore Marxists: 10% (hateful intentions)
-
Cultural Marxists: 20% (semi hateful intentions)
-
Suicidal Humanists/career cynicists: 65% (suicidally naive/egotistical)
-
Capitalist globalists: 5% (greed)
100% of the above support and propagate multiculturalism.
Quotes such as the ones made by Andrew Neather adds to the documentation which
proves that a relatively large multiculturalist network on all levels of
European politics: political activists, journalists, politicians, NGO leaders -
locally, nationally and on EU level have a deliberate plan to destroy European
cohesion, identity, our culture by implementing multiculturalist doctrines and
allowing mass Muslim immigration. This is most efficiently done by allowing
millions of Muslims to colonise Europe. And they have done it for years,
concealing it using humanist justification.
Andrew Neather, worked for Mr Straw and as a speech writer for Mr Blair. He
confirmed that a Government report in 2000 called for mass immigration to
change Britain's cultural make-up forever [1][2][3]
Jack Straw and Tony Blair 'dishonestly' concealed a plan to allow in more
immigrants and make Britain more multi-cultural because they feared a public
backlash if it was made public,
The driving force and intention was also to humiliate Right-wing opponents of
immigration and “destroy the conservatives once and for all”.
Conclusion
The common factor between all variations of multiculturalists is that they all
believe they are doing the right thing, so they all have good intentions, at
least according to themselves. But this can also be said about Hitler, Stalin
and Pol Pot. They were all idealists in their own twisted way. Regardless of
their twisted intentions they are all mass murderers and must be treated as
such.
No mercy will be shown for category A, B and C traitors. The punishment for high
treason is the same whether you are a hardcore Marxist, cultural Marxist,
suicidal humanist, career cynicist or a capitalist globalist.

Introduction - The European National Military commands and the Islamisation of
Europe
The European national military commands have a responsibility to serve and
protect their people. They should immediately disallow the
cultural Marxist/ multiculturalist
government from continuing to implement the EU’s Eurabia project (European
multiculturalism/Islamisation of Europe). They have a duty to stop the ongoing
Islamic demographic warfare (mass Muslim immigration combined with high birth
rates) waged against Europe by the Global Islamic Ummah.
The European national military commands should immediately and without
hesitation declare martial law, suspend the constitution, secure the national
borders, arrest, try and execute all category A and B traitors and implement
cultural conservative
rules and regulations specified in this document.
By refusing to take responsibility, the European national military commands are
forcing their own people to take action and act in the form of creating militias
or covert military orders.
The following Demands/requests/pleas
are directed to all Senior and Junior officers. We are aware of the fact that
many officers are loyal to their government first and foremost and are thus
serving the interests of the
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
elites instead of serving the interests of their people. However, we know that a
majority of Senior and Junior officers are very discontent with the current
development and are looking (although not actively) for a window of opportunity
which will allow them to begin serving the interests of their people. The
following demands/requests/pleas are directed at them. Officers who are willing
to sell out their own people and their country in order to serve their current
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
governments will be considered traitors and will face a severe punishment in
Phase 2 and 3.
Demands/requests/pleas to our National Military Commands
To the:
The British Armed Forces, The Military of France, The Bundeswehr, The Military
of the Netherlands, The Military of Belgium, The Military of Luxembourg, The
Swedish Army, The Royal Danish Army, The Royal Norwegian Army, The Finnish Army,
The Spanish Armed Forces, The Portuguese Armed Forces, The Italian Army, The
Hellenic Army, The Military of Switzerland, The Austrian Armed Forces, The
Military of Iceland, The Armed Forces of Malta, The Irish Defence Forces
We, the free, indigenous peoples of the
United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden,
Denmark, Norway, Finland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Switzerland, Austria,
Iceland, Malta and Ireland
hereby demand that our National Military Command immediately and without
hesitation initiate preparations to seize political control of the country
through a coup d’état, declaring martial law, suspending the constitution,
securing the national borders, key institutions, arrest, try and execute all
category A and B traitors and implementing
cultural conservative
rules and regulations (through
military tribunals).
The Western European governments and the rest of the Multiculturalist Alliance
are guilty of high treason for various crimes against the indigenous peoples of
Europe (see charges 1-8). The Multiculturalist Alliance must be stopped
immediately and without hesitation before further crimes are committed against
the indigenous peoples of Europe.
We demand that you immediately contribute to stop the implementation of the
European hate ideology known as multiculturalism. The ideology of
multiculturalism should immediately be removed from all government policies and
school curricula, and the new state should adopt a policy of supporting the
continuation of the cultural heritage and traditions of the indigenous
populations.
We demand that you contribute to legally re-classify Islam as a totalitarian,
racist and violent political ideology and that the Quran and Hadith are banned
altogether.
We strongly urge you to acknowledge the fact that an Islamic demographic warfare
(through mass Muslim immigration combined with an average Muslim birth-rate of
3-4) is being waged against the Western European countries by the Global Islamic
Ummah.
We demand that you immediately act upon this deliberate invasion/colonisation
and support the implementation of necessary counter-measures in the form of:
1.
Implementation of the assimilation policy included in this document
or
2.
Deport all Muslim individuals from European soil (who fail to follow the
assimilation policy or whom are not given the opportunity).
When you do decide to act; a State of emergency should last until the national
military and their cultural conservative political advisers have successfully
deported all Muslims and implemented all necessary reforms. Suggested strategies
regarding the implementation of reforms and deportations are and will continue
to be elaborated in detail.
Declaring Martial law, suspending the constitution and securing
control of the state administration
has to
be done as soon as possible.
The longer you wait the harder it will be to avoid massive casualties on both
sides. To illustrate the problem;
cultural Marxists/multiculturalist
The only pragmatical approach is to begin making preparations and to act as soon
as possible!
Until the day you decide to act; we, the free peoples of Western Europe will
have no choice but to take matters into our own hands and act accordingly. The
PCCTS, Knights Templar is a manifestation of this initial struggle, phase 1 of
the Western European civil war.
The following assimilation policy is to be accepted by all Muslims who currently
live on European soil and want to continue to live in Europe. The deadline is
Jan. 1st, 2020.
Failure to accept and comply with given policies will result in immediate
deportation for you and your closest family (individual evaluation is required).
The deportations will be effectuated as soon as the current regime(s) have been
neutralised and once a cultural conservative government has been formed. Failure
to comply within the deadline (2020) will result in losing the possibility of
future re-evaluation.
1. Convert to Christianity
(Orthodox, Catholic or Protestant).
Every individual is to accept baptism, the ritual act by which one is admitted
to membership of the Christian Church, as a member of the particular Church in
which the baptism is administered.
Attempt of al-taqiyya (Islamic deceit) for shorter or longer periods in order to
try to wait for a regime change will not be tolerated. The convert will
celebrate Christian holidays and adopt mainstream Christian customs and has to
attend Church at least once a year during the full duration of the assimilation
period (50) before he or any member of his family is allowed to follow a purely
secular lifestyle. Secular Muslims are considered fully Muslim as long as they
have not converted. The reason is because even secular Muslims celebrate Islamic
holidays and perform certain Islamic religious or political rituals.
2. Name change
During the required baptism the individual is to be given a Christian/European
traditional name (first, middle and last name). No Arab/Asian/Islamic name is
allowed (including The 99 Names of
Allah).
3. Not allowed to practice your ”mother tongue” or Arabic
It is strictly prohibited to practice the individuals ”mother tongue” -
Farsi, Urdu, Arabic, Somali
etc. in any way – both in writing or vocally (this applies in all areas of
society - home and elsewhere). Obviously this does not apply to Muslims living
in Europe who are practising a European language (Bosniaks etc.).
4. All mosques and Islamic centers will be demolished or converted
All mosques which were built for the purpose of being a mosque will be
demolished. All other buildings which were previously converted will be
re-converted to their former use.
5. All Islamic and/or Arab-style or equivalent buildings/artwork will be
demolished or modified
All traces of Islamic culture in Europe will be eradicated, even locations
considered historical.
6. Attempts to celebrate Islamic holidays, exercise or portray Sharia/Islamic
codes/markers is strictly prohibited
An attempt of celebrating Ramadan, Eid or any Islamic holiday is strictly
prohibited.
This includes all cultural related rituals, dress codes, Islamic religious or
cultural circumcisions, Islamic preparation of food, the use of any Muslim flag
or identification (crescent moon), religious or cultural markings.
7. Measures taken against attempts of demographic warfare
All “ex-Muslim couples” (where both parents were/are Muslims) will not be
allowed to exceed a birth rate of 2. Any breach of this policy will be
considered a breach of the assimilation policies.
8. Correspondence with other Muslims abroad is strictly prohibited
All forms of correspondence (electronically, telephonic etc.) with Muslims
living abroad is strictly forbidden. This includes contact with Muslim family in
the country you originated from.
9. All travel to Muslim countries/territories or to any country where Muslims
make out more than 20% of the population is strictly prohibited
Length of assimilation period
The assimilation period, with monitoring procedures, will last for a minimum of
2 generations (no shorter than 50 years) before the individual is considered to
be successfully assimilated.
Various measures will be used for monitoring individuals who has accepted the
assimilation policies to ensure that they are not trying to perform al-taqiyya.
Purpose of assimilation policies
Implementation of the assimilation policies will allow all ex-Muslims to be
fully assimilated. This will also allow you to show and prove your allegiance
and loyalty to “your new kinsmen”, to Europe and to Christianity. In return, you
will be accepted as a European.
Failure to comply with the assimilation policies
(offer expires Jan 1st, 2020)
Failure to accept and comply with given policies will result in immediate
deportation for you and your closest family (individual evaluation is required).
The deportations will be effectuated as soon as the current regime (s) has been
neutralised. Failure to comply within the deadline (2020) will result in losing
the possibility of future re-evaluation.
Why will individuals lose the possibility of being re-evaluated after the
deadline[1]?
Any individual in question must be a credible candidate. Obviously, he won’t be
considered as a credible candidate if he or she is under duress (which will be
the case in phase 2 and 3, 2030-2090). This is the reason why the offer expires
in 2020. A Muslim who accepts the following assimilation policy under duress
will most likely perform al-taqiyya (religious deceit allowed by the Quran and
Hadith) for as long as he has to. As such, any convertion performed after the
deadline will be considered al-taqiyya[1].
Essential case study

A European Military Order re-emerges – In Praise of the New Knighthood
Introduction
The
Knights Templar, whose official
name was: Pauperes commilitones
Christi Templique Solomonici (PCCTS) (English: Poor Fellow-Soldiers of
Christ and of the Temple of Solomon), were among the most famous of the Western
Christian military orders. The organisation was founded in 1119 by knights sworn
to protecting Christian pilgrims visiting the Holy Land after the Crusaders
re-captured Jerusalem from the Muslims in 1099 and existed for approximately two
centuries.
History
The Kingdom of Jerusalem was established in 1098, when the members of the First
Crusade re-captured Jerusalem, on behalf of Christendom, and elected Godfrey of
Boulogne, duke of Lower-Lorraine, as king of Jerusalem.
The first headquarters of the Knights Templar was built on Jerusalem's Temple
Mount. The Crusaders called it the Temple of Solomon, as it was built on top of
the ruins of the original Temple, and it was from this location that the Knights
took their name of Templar.
New members had to willingly sign over all of their wealth and goods to the
Order and take vows of poverty, chastity, piety, and obedience. Most brothers
joined for life, although some were allowed to join for a set period. Sometimes
a married man was allowed to join if he had his wife's permission, but he was
not allowed to wear the white mantle.
The red cross that the Templar Knights wore on their robes was a symbol of
martyrdom (the symbol was referred to as “cross of the martyr”), and to die in
combat was considered a great honour that assured a place in heaven. There was a
cardinal rule that the warriors of the Order should never surrender unless the
Templar flag had fallen, and even then they were first to try to regroup with
another of the Christian orders, such as that of the Hospitallers. Only after
all flags had fallen were they allowed to leave the battlefield. This
uncompromising principle, along with their reputation for courage, excellent
training, and heavy armament, made the Templars the most skilled and feared
combat force during the Crusades.
"[A Templar Knight] is truly a fearless knight, and secure on every side, for
his soul is protected by the armour of faith, just as his body is protected by
the armour of steel. He is thus doubly-armed, and need fear neither demons nor
men."
Bernard de Clairvaux, c. 1135, De
Laude Novae Militae—In Praise of the New Knighthood
Knights possessed military training, a war horse and military equipment which
required a substantial amount of wealth and prestige to acquire.
Distinctive architectural elements of Templar buildings include the use of the
image of "two knights on a single horse", representing the Knights' poverty, and
round buildings designed to resemble the “Church of the Holy Sepulchre” in
Jerusalem.
Origins of the Cross of the Martyr/St
George's Cross
Saint
George
(ca. 275/281 – 23 April 303) was,
according to tradition, a Roman soldier in the Guard of Diocletian, who is
venerated as a Christian martyr. In hagiography Saint George is one of the most
venerated saints in the Roman Catholic Church, Anglican Church, Eastern Orthodox
Church, Oriental Orthodoxy, and the Eastern Catholic Churches. He is
immortalised in the tale of Saint George and the Dragon and is one of the
Fourteen Holy Helpers. His memorial is celebrated on 23 April, and he is
regarded as one of the most prominent military saints.
St George's Cross was originally the flag of Genoa and was adopted by England
and the City of London in 1190 for their ships entering the Mediterranean to
benefit from the protection of the powerful Genoese fleet. The maritime Republic
of Genoa was rising and going to become, with its rival Venice, one of the most
important powers in the world. The English Monarch paid an annual tribute to the
Doge of Genoa for this privilege. It was adopted for the uniform of English
soldiers during the Crusades of the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries,
particularly by the Knights Templar.
Non-combatant members of the Order
Non-combatant members of the Order managed a large economic infrastructure
throughout Christendom, innovating financial techniques that were an early form
of banking, and building many fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land.
After the fall of Jerusalem - Decline
Jerusalem eventually fell and was taken by the Muslims in 1291. The Temple of
Solomon was later demolished by the Muslims and a mosque was built on the site,
now known as the Al Aqsa Mosque.
The Templars' success was tied closely to the Crusades; when the Holy Land was
lost, support for the Order faded. Rumours about the Templars' secret initiation
ceremony created mistrust, and King Philip IV of France, deeply in debt to the
Order, began pressuring Pope Clement V to take action against the Order. Getting
rid of them was a convenient way of cancelling his debts. In 1307, many of the
Order's members in France were arrested, tortured into giving false confessions,
and then burned at the stake. Pope Clement was convinced that while the
Templar’s had committed some grave sins, they were not heretics. However, in
1312, Pope Clement, under continuing pressure from King Philip, disbanded the
Order.
Quick facts
- Active c. 1119–1314
- 15,000–20,000 members at peak, 10% (1500-2000) of whom were knights
Events
Grand Master Gérard de Ridefort was beheaded by Saladin in 1189 at the Siege of
Acre.
The last Grand Master was Jacques de Molay, burned at the stake in Paris in 1314
by order of King Philip IV.
Knighthood
Knight
is the term for a social position originating in the Middle Ages. Elsewhere, the
Portuguese Cavaleiro (like the following, related to "chivalry"), the
Spanish Caballero, the Italian Cavaliere, the French "Chevalier",
the German Ritter (like the following, related to "rider"), the Swedish
Riddare are commonly used in Continental Europe.
Origins of medieval knighthood
The Franks came to dominate Western and Central Europe after the fall of Rome.
They generally fielded armies composed of large masses of infantry, with
infantry elite, the comitatus, which often rode to battle on horseback rather
than marching on foot. Riding to battle had two key advantages: it prevented
fatigue, particularly when the elite soldiers wore armour and it gave the
soldiers more mobility to react to the raids of the enemy, particularly the
invasions of Muslim armies which started in the 7th century. So it was that the
armies of the Frankish ruler and warlord Charles Martel, which defeated the
Islamic Umayyad Arab invasion at the Battle of Tours in 732, were still largely
infantry armies, the elites riding to battle but dismounting to fight in order
to provide a hard core for the levy of the infantry war-bands.
These types of knights were increasingly seen as the only true soldiers of
Europe.
Knightly Chivalric Code
Knights of the medieval era were asked to "Protect the weak, defenceless,
helpless, and fight for the general welfare of all." These few guidelines were
the main duties of a medieval knight, but they were very hard to accomplish
fully. Rarely could even the best of knights achieve these goals. Knights
trained, inter alia, in hunting, fighting, and riding. They were also
trained to practise courteous, honourable behaviour, which was extremely
important. Chivalry (derived from the French word chevalier implying "skills to
handle a horse") was the main principle guiding a knight’s life style.
The code of chivalry dealt with three main areas: the military, social
life, and religion.
The military side of life was very important to knighthood. Along with the
fighting elements of war, there were many customs and rules to be followed as
well. A way of demonstrating military chivalry was to own expensive, heavy
weaponry. Weapons were not the only crucial instruments for a knight: horses
were also extremely important, and each knight often owned several horses for
distinct purposes. One of the greatest signs of chivalry was the flying of
coloured banners, to display power and to distinguish knights in battle and in
tournaments. Warriors were not only required to own all these belongings to
prove their allegiance: they were expected to act with military courtesy as
well.
In the years of boyhood, these future warriors were sent off to a castle as
pages, later becoming squires. Commonly around the age of 20, knights would be
admitted to their rank in a ceremony called "dubbing". Although these strong
young men had proved their eligibility, their social status would be permanently
controlled. They were expected to obey the code of chivalry at all times, and no
failure was accepted.
Chivalry and religion were mutually influenced. The early Crusades helped to
clarify the moral code of chivalry as it related to religion. As a result,
Christian armies began to devote their efforts to sacred purposes.
The Code of Chivalry continued to influence social behaviour long after the
actual knighthood ceased to exist, influencing for example the 19th Century
Victorian perceptions of how a "gentleman" ought to behave.
Orders of knighthood
-
Knights Hospitaller,
founded during the First Crusade, 1099
-
Order of Saint Lazarus
established around 1100
-
Knights Templar,
founded 1118, disbanded 1307
-
Teutonic Knights,
established about 1190, and ruled the Monastic State of the Teutonic Knights in
Prussia until 1525
Other orders (Crusader movements) were established with the purpose of
re-conquering the Iberian peninsula (Spain) from the Muslims. The orders were
under the influence of the orders in the Holy Land. They are known as the
Crusader movements of the Reconquista:
-
Order of Aviz,
established in Avis in 1143
-
Order of Alcántara,
established in Alcántara in 1156
-
Order of Calatrava,
established in Calatrava in 1158
-
Order of Santiago,
established in Santiago in 1164.
Modern day chivalric organisations, Free Masons and similar orders.
Modern day chivalric organisations have nothing to do with knighthood,
martyrdom, courage or honour through military service (for the protection of the
European people or Christendom). Knighthood has gradually eroded into a corrupt
tradition and is now primarily distributed to confer prestige on individuals,
very often music producers, sports stars or other cultural personalities.
Free Masonry and similar Christian orders are merely novelty networks and
completely non-political. Nevertheless, they should be commended for conserving
ancient Christian rituals.

Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici (PCCTS), the Knights Templar
Europe
and Christendom has been under constant attack by Islam for the last 1400 years.
Charles Martel successfully defended Europe against an invasion launched by the
Umayyad Caliphate
in
732 at the Battle of Poitiers (current France). In 1683, Western Europe was at
the brink of annihilation again, this time by an Ottoman Caliphate invasion. The
King of Poland, John III Sobieski and the Holy League successfully defended
Europe against an army of more than 150 000 Muslims at the Battle of Vienna.
2009 - Western Europe is being invaded again, this time through demographic
warfare (mass Muslim immigration in combination with high Muslim birth-rates).
The forces of Islam are flooding the European gates once more, the only
difference – the gates are open. Aided and abetted by the cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist elites of Western Europe. From 55 000 in 1955, the
Muslims are now counting more than 25 million individuals in Western Europe
alone. Credible demographic calculations show that the Muslims will reach
critical mass (20%) in France and the Netherlands within a couple of decades and
a total of 50% by 2083. Peaceful resistance through dialogue started 50 years
ago, in an attempt to stop and has been a complete disaster resulting in defeat
after defeat in attempts to reverse these actions. We have lost the democratical
struggle to save Europe from Islam as it’s simply not possible to compete with
regimes who import millions of voters and coerce its own population to accept
the ideology of multiculturalism, an ideology bent on the destruction of Western
Civilisation and the indirect genocide of Europeans.
The time for dialogue is over. We gave peace a chance. The time for armed
resistance has come. PCCTS, Knights Templar on behalf of the free peoples of
Europe, hereby declare a pre-emptive war against the cultural Marxist/
multiculturalist regimes of Western Europe. We acknowledge that Europe has been
in a technical state of civil war since 1999
when European and US
cultural Marxists/multiculturalists,
through NATO, decided to attack Christian Serb forces and thus disallowing them
their right to repel Islam from their ancestral lands.
The war against the
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
regimes of Europe is a pre-emptive war, waged in order to repel, defeat or
weaken an ongoing Islamic invasion/ colonisation, to gain a strategic advantage
in an unavoidable war before that threat materialises. Thus, we consider this
pre-emptive war as completely justifiable as it is a war of self-defence. We
cannot afford to wait around and re-act when it is too late. We have
anticipated, identified and will act accordingly upon the refuse, volatile,
national and international conditions before they become explosive, before they
lead us to catastrophe.
PCCTS, the Knights Templar
The PCCTS’s history is a journey of sacrifice, spanning almost a thousand years.
Through it all, certain characteristics have remained consistent – strength and
honour, courage and martyrdom. The current need for these principles has lead to
the re-founding of this ancient Christian European military order.
The
European Military Order and Criminal Tribunal (the PCCTS - Knights Templar) was
created by and for the free indigenous peoples of Europe. One of the primary
purposes of the tribunal and order is to attempt/contribute to seize political
and military control of Western European multiculturalist regimes and to try,
judge and punish Western European cultural Marxist/multiculturalist perpetrators
(category A, B and C traitors) for crimes committed against the indigenous
peoples of Europe from 1955 until this day.
Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici – PCCTS (the
Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon),
the Knights Templar was re-founded in London in 2002 by representatives from
eight European countries, for the purpose of serving the interests of the free
indigenous peoples of Europe and to fight against the ongoing European Jihad
(referred to as the “third Jihad”). The Knights Templar was re-founded as a
pan-European nationalist military order and a military/criminal tribunal with
two primary objectives. The order is to serve as an armed Indigenous Rights
Organisation and as a Crusader Movement (anti-Jihad movement).
The founding session (two meetings consisting of 4 founding members and host as
a security precaution) was held in London, United Kingdom – Apr, 2002.

(Names will be kept classified indefinitely to avoid
cultural Marxist/ multiculturalist
persecution but each individual may reveal his own name during the three phases
at his own convenience).
The jurisdiction of the order and tribunal includes (but is not limited to) all
Western European countries and the Balkans.
The European Military Order and Criminal Tribunal (the PCCTS - Knights Templar)
have found all European category A, B and C traitors guilty of a series of
crimes against Europeans (charges 1-8). All European category A and B traitors
have been sentenced to death. Punishment is pending awaiting effectuation by
Justiciar Knights.
The purpose of the order/tribunal, PCCTS, is to consolidate Europeans and create
and develop a significant armed defensive force through “open source warfare”,
by marketing the developed decentralised platform with self-organising features.
This will be achieved by our continued efforts to call and request that all
Europeans accept the duties which are expected from each and every free,
patriotic individual. All free Europeans have a right and a duty to become
“Justiciar Knights” for the order/tribunal with the purpose of:
·
Oppose all hate-ideologies; communism (anti-individualistic), cultural
Marxism/multiculturalism (anti-European), Islam (anti-kafr) and national
socialism (anti-Jewish).
·
100 year plan to contribute to seize political power in Western European
countries currently controlled by anti-nationalists (cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist regimes).
Bring freedom and cultural and demographical sustainability to all Europeans
·
Serve and protect the indigenous peoples of Europe and all other loyal and
patriotic European individuals
·
Preserve European culture, traditions and heritage
·
Stop the ongoing European cultural and demographical genocide facilitated by the
cultural Marxists/multiculturalists, suicidal humanists, and capitalist
globalist elites
·
Prevent the deconstruction of Christendom in Europe
·
Prevent further Islamic demographic warfare - disallow the Muslim
invasion/colonisation of Europe
·
Repulse Islam from Europe by the initiation of future deportation campaigns
·
Effectuate punishment for Western European cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist/globalist perpetrators for crimes committed against the
indigenous peoples of Europe
·
Oppose and defeat the Multiculturalist Alliance (MA 100) in Europe using any and
all means necessary
·
Support Israel’s fight against Jihad
·
Liberation of the Middle East Christians from Islamic rule
·
Virtues such as the willingness to martyr oneself for the cause, the exercise of
discretion, voluntary poverty and devoted obedience to the principles are
mandatory for all Justiciar Knights
·
Honour the wishes and memories of our forefathers, who secured European security
and prosperity in the past
·
Follow the PCCTS’s mantra –
“Martyrdom before Dhimmitude”.
There are currently four different ranks military ranks and three different
civilian ranks:
Justiciar Knight Commander or Justiciar Knight Operative;
military cell commander or operative (solo or multi cell) of the
PCCTS, Knights Templar
The
rank "Commander" is generally applied to a person who is accountable for and
holds authority over a group or the attempts of a group to achieve a common
goal. The Justiciar Knight Commander rank is the highest rank (during phase 1)
in the PCCTS, Knights Templar and is held by the cell leader. Other members of
the cell go by the rank of Justiciar Knight Operatives. In a one man cell, the
individual in charge carries the Commander rank. He may take command of and lead
militant, non-KT patriots should the situation allow for it.

The European military order and tribunal;
Commilitones Christi Templique
Solomonici – PCCTS is represented by self appointed European judges known
as ”Justiciar Knights” or
“Knight Judges” (Latin: justiciarius=man
of justice, judge -- Knight=Eques
or Cavaliere in Old Italian, Chevalier in French, Ritter in German)”. Any
self appointed Justiciar Knight
has been given the authority, by PCCTS
on behalf of;
1. The free indigenous peoples of Europe
2. Those Europeans not yet born
3. The legacy of our forefathers and fallen martyrs
- to act as a judge, jury and executioner until the free, indigenous peoples of
Europe are no longer threatened by cultural genocide, subject to cultural
Marxist/Islamic tyranny or territorial or existential threats through Islamic
demographic warfare. It is therefore within any- and every-ones right to act in
accordance with the given guidelines.
"One man with courage makes a majority."
Andrew Jackson
To
qualify to act as a ”Justiciar
Knight” the individual has to pledge the Knights Templar oath by completing the
“Initiation Rite” (see: The PCCTS, Knights Templar Oath – Initiation Rite) and
swear to follow the principles of the PCCTS, to protect the interests of all
free, indigenous Europeans, European cultures and Christendom in general through
armed struggle. Choosing the path of the Justiciar Knight is to walk the path in
pursuit of becoming “The Perfect Knight”. Any candidate prepared to walk this
road must be willing to forfeit his materialistic ambitions and embrace
voluntary poverty and martyrdom.
The Order and Tribunal has concluded that any and all Europeans have not just a
right, but a duty to resist through political and military means; cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist atrocities and crimes committed against the indigenous
peoples of Europe. As such, any European Christian conservative can act as a
Justiciar Knight. This includes
Christian agnostics and Christian atheists. Although the PCCTS, Knights Templar
is a pan-European indigenous rights movement we give all Europeans, regardless
of skin colour, the opportunity to become a Justiciar Knight as long as the
individual is either a Christian, Christian agnostic or a Christian atheist.
The European Military & Criminal Tribunal, PCCTS, request that any and all
Justiciar Knights of Europe; identify and effectuate punishment for category A
and B traitors - cultural Marxist/multiculturalist individuals for the
violations specified and included in this document; charges 1 – 8.
These charges are directed at all category A and B traitors – individuals who
planned, instigated, ordered, committed or otherwise aided and abetted in the
planning, preparation or execution of a crime(s) referred to in the mentioned
articles. All category A and B traitors shall be held individually responsible
for the crime(s).
Any and all individuals who sympathise with the PCCTS principles and/or are
affiliated with (but not limited to) the European Resistance Movements
(patriotic liberalists or conservatives), nationalist movements of any category,
Christian movements or any type of cultural conservative movement are encouraged
to volunteer and appoint themselves as
Justiciar Knights and fight under the banner of the PCCTS - the cross of
the Martyrs.
By doing so, the individual(s) will avoid incriminating anyone in his
environment or his or her old “organisation”. Normally, any individual who
decides he want to choose the road of the PCCTS, a road of strength and honour,
courage and martyrdom, should leave any other organisation for practical reasons
(first and foremost in order to protect them). He will then spend a predefined
time preparing himself mentally (this cannot be emphasised enough) as well as
for planning the actual operation (planning, financing and eventually execution
of the plan). This may take longer than 36 months depending on the nature of the
assault.
Short list - overview
The PCCTS, Knights Templar
serve as an independent pan-European Military and Criminal Tribunal in the
current Western European civil war. We have come to the conclusion that the
democratical struggle to save Europe has been lost. Our purpose and goal is to
defeat the cultural Marxist/Multiculturalist Alliance of Europe, seize political
and military control of Western European countries and implement a cultural
conservative political agenda.
PCCTS activities will continue in all three phases of the European civil war
until our objectives have been completed.
-
Phase 1 – 1999-2030
-
Phase 2 – 2030-2070
-
Phase 3 – 2070-2083
Our primary objectives
(in phase 1 and 2):
1.
We will educate the European peoples
about the ongoing political, social and demographical development. We will
distribute the content, every single paragraph of the two first books of the
compendium “2083” and other works containing the truth about the current
development, with the intention of rallying more Europeans for the cause.
Distributing content has proven difficult in the past as the current social and
political establishment view the content as “politically incorrect” and refuse
to acknowledge its relevancy and subsequently ignore and censor it all together.
Creating awareness of specifically defined topics is the essence of our phase 1
struggle. We will launch information campaigns and create awareness by using any
means necessary, including distribution of our messages by using lethal shock
attacks against concentrations of class A and B traitors in a pan-European
context. The primary goal of the shock attacks is not the immediate physical
manifestation of the attack (destroying a few buildings, killing a few hundred
traitors) but rather the indirect effects. Shock attacks will have the potency
to penetrate the strict censorship regime of the cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists. Any substantial shock attack will therefore have the
potential to do massive ideological damage on the multicultural ideology (as the
multicultural dream will become ever so distant) and its propagators in various
ways;
-
Education of the European peoples – people will be interested to know why
buildings around them are falling down and will seek information themselves
and/or learn what the media presents
-
Moral effect/recruitment - encouraging thousands of brothers and sisters
-
Creating important military and ideological reference points
-
Increasing and developing the level of innovation/sophistication of methods
applied
-
Contribution to increase the acceptance level of new methods applied
-
Discouraging our enemies which may lead to direct/indirect “defection”, or
fear/reservations against criticising right wingers etc.
-
Contribution to force many Europeans out of their self-induced coma
-
Many individuals (especially category A, B and C traitors who until now has just
“gone with the flow”) will re-evaluate the premises for their support to
multiculturalism (destruction of our European cultures) or at least the premises
for allowing mass-Muslim immigration/the ongoing Islamisation and will
re-consider if it is really worth the trouble
-
Contribution for creating a broader acceptance for defending and support
European culture without being target of EUSSR labelling techniques (bigot,
fascist, Nazi, racist).
-
Marketing the resistance movement
-
Making moderate cultural conservatives more approachable, by the establishment,
by broadening or expanding the very definition of extreme right wing axis etc.
-
Many individuals (politically neutral) may start to have reservations against
working in government buildings (near concentrations of category A or B
traitors) which will help polarise the left and right.
We will be contributing to re-writing the very fabric of society which will have
short term and long term effects.
-
We may see police strikes or at least demands for higher salary (especially in
countries where there is no tradition for urban revolutionary warfare). Many
cultural conservative street police may quit the job as they are uncomfortable
and simply unwilling to hunt down and kill militant cultural conservatives.
Alternatively, they may also stay and help us in future operations directly or
indirectly. Either way, they will be vary of future military operations and will
stay out of our way (which will result in a minimum of sympathiser deaths for
any future operation). Others may quit for similar reasons. This trend may
result in the police force itself turning Muslim which will have reprecautions
for as how they are viewed by the public. An increase in Muslim police officers
will increase mistrust towards the police and government (just remember the
riots in Utrech triggered by a Muslim cop who killed a nationalist).
-
The government will have to invest billions on security related fields, which
will weaken them financially and might contribute to cuts in other fields.
Practical information we intend to distribute (see topics in the three books):
- What you need to know, Our falsified history and other forms of cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist propaganda
- Europe Burning (Contemporary issues)
- A Declaration of preemptive War (demands, charges, tactics and other
information meant for internal use.)
2.
We will pressure our National Military Commands in Western Europe to start
acting in the interest of its people instead of serving the corrupt and suicidal
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist governments. Our objective is to convince
enough junior/senior military officers that the cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist elites are so detached from the reality and its own
people that they are no longer serving their interests and as such; the
democratical system has been corrupted to a degree that it can no longer solve
our problems. Our only remaining chance to save Europe is by labelling the
current cultural Marxist/multiculturalist regimes as illegitimate and illegal,
seizing political power by initiating military coup d’états, declaring Martial
law and create temporary military tribunals. We must convince enough military
officers (in Phase 1 and 2) that this is the only pragmatical approach. As such,
our objective is to convince enough military officers that the implementation of
our agenda (or something equivalent) is the only way Europe can avoid a
continued cultural genocide and a future Islamic take-over.
Furthermore, we will attempt to convince individuals in the current governments,
the MA100 political parties and the cultural Marxist alliance in general (as
many category A, B and C traitors as possible) to acknowledge the fact that:
i.
There is a deliberate Islamic demographic warfare being waged against Europe by
the Global Islamic Ummah.
ii.
Multiculturalism is and has always been an anti-European hate ideology aimed at
undermining the indigenous peoples of Europe and destroying European
civilisation and culture.
If just a fraction of the current Western European military commands,
governments, the MA100 political parties and the news agencies are convinced to
acknowledge these and other facts, they will be forced out of their current
“apathetic state” and to start acting in the interests of the European people.
3.
We will continue to work for the consolidation of the “European right” under one
“un-official” banner (ranging from moderate to extreme). This includes the work
for a continued consolidation among European right wing intellectuals, political
activists and military orders. Emphasis must be on; cooperation to ensure our
survival. We will also continue to develop legal/illegal Conservative militias
and clandestine military cells.
4.
We will create reference points which will contribute to escalate the European
civil war faster. The intention is to ensure that we seize power before there is
a Muslim majority. By employing and implementing sophisticated methods and
mechanics early on we contribute to introduce, legitimise and establish new
“methods/traditions” among the resistance movements which will benefit us in all
phases.
Military objectives
There
have already been thousands of pre-emptive strikes from brave Europeans all over
Europe. However, the majority of attacks have been impotent “poop in mailbox”
operations with zero to little ideological effect. In order to successfully
penetrate the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist media censorship we are forced
to employ significantly more brutal and breath taking operations which will
result in casualties. In order for the attack to gain an influential effect,
assassinations and the use of weapons of mass destruction must be embraced. When
employing such methods the Justiciar Knight becomes a force multiplier, he
becomes a one-man army. The continuation of these “humiliating strikes” on the
Multiculturalist system will contribute to destroy the cultural Marxist hegemony
in Europe.
Any Justiciar Knight of the PCCTS is a person who fights the cultural
Marxist/Multiculturalist Alliance with weapons, using unconventional methods.
The PCCTS follows a political goal, and focus attacks on the cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist government, the MA100 political parties or any
individuals who are categorised as a category A or B traitor.
PCCTS’s
will use
guerrilla warfare against MA100 political parties and individuals who directly
or indirectly support the ”cultural Marxist/Multiculturalist Alliance”. Our
method of choice is sabotage operatons or the use of
shock attacks against concentrations of category A and B traitors throughout
phase 1 and 2.
Our objectives also include the aim of radicalising Muslims through strategic
attacks on their communities. This will contribute to escalate the conflicts and
create increased polarisation which will serve our interests.
We intend to assist in future militia building, clandestine activities, even
coup attempts (phase 2 and 3 objective) with the intention to replace the
sitting regimes with
cultural conservative
governments.
“If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.”
Lao Tzu
The first and absolutely indispensable thing to do is throw overboard 99 percent
of the literature on insurgency, guerrilla warfare, terrorism, and the like as
it is of little value.
We
train to kill but that doesn’t mean we love violence. We use violence only for
self defence, as pre-emptive actions and as a last option. We cannot allow our
politically correct elites to sell us, their people, into Muslim slavery. The
Multiculturalists and suicidal humanists have flooded Europe with criminals and
individuals who are unwilling and unable to assimilate. As a result of these
actions, more than 15 000 Europeans have been murdered, more than 500 000
European women have been raped and more than 5 million Europeans have been
robbed, ravaged and physically or mentally abused since they opened the European
gates in 1955-1970. They bombed the Serbian people, our brothers and sisters,
and are currently occupying Serbia. They launched a campaign of political and
psychological warfare against Austria when our brethren there managed to mount a
democratic alternative. They have institutionalised the genocide of European
Christendom, our cultures and identities in a campaign to forcefully create a
cultural Marxists Multicultural utopia. We are fighting to end this suffering,
the suffering of the Europeans under cultural Marxism. We are fighting to end
the murder, rape and humiliation of the European peoples. History has shown us
countless times that no matter how great the empire, how difficult the odds, a
man who is not afraid to die can never be defeated. They may have the police and
other state institutions on their side but we have the truth on our side. They,
the Nazis of our time, will call us terrorists, just like the German Nazis
called the WW2 resistance movement terrorists and just like the English called
Americans terrorists when they sought independence from tyranny. The English and
Scottish people were once labeled as terrorists when they fought against Roman
occupation in a war equivalent to 16
Vietnam wars.
What we do today and what we will continue to do for the coming decades is all
about setting our people free. We must free all Europeans from cultural Marxism
and the shackles of political correctness even though we might not live to see
it.
The art of asymmetrical warfare is less about inflicting immediate damage but
all about the indirect long term psychological and ideological damage. Our shock
attacks are theatre and theatre is always performed for an audience. Our
audience and targets are every cultural Marxist, multiculturalist/globalist or
suicidal humanists who are currently a part of the EUSSR power hierarchy (the so
called category A, B and C traitors). We, the resistance movements, are
dispersed all across Europe. The essence of our actions is to convince our enemy
that there is nowhere to hide. We are coming for every single one of them, if
not today then tomorrow, if not tomorrow then in 10, 30 or even 50 years. We
will never forget what they have done and continue to do. It is our
responsibility to put a stop to it.
Considerations
There are several things that should be done by the Justiciar Knight before
starting the process of planning and taking up armed struggle.
The first of which is to surround yourself (either online or in real life) with
people who support your political ideology but who at the same time does not
jeopardise your security in any way. You should therefore avoid any affiliations
with known extremists or such groups as they are most likely flagged
(individuals and groups who are monitored by your national intelligence agency
on so called “watch lists”). The reason why you should surround yourself with
“moderate sympathisers” is because you will need a minimum of moral support.
The second is to prepare to leave everyone else you know behind and prepare for
a lonely, poor and potentially painful existence of hardship and uncertainty.
As a Justiciar Knight, you are a part of an indestructible network of cells,
spread all around Europe that functions without a central command.
No dormant cell can remain inactive waiting for orders from above. Your
obligation as a Justiciar Knight/a cell commander is to act on your own
initiative. Any single patriot who wants to establish a cell and begin action
can do so, and thus becomes a part of the organisation.
The initial advantages of our clandestine cells are:
1.
We take the enemy by surprise.
2.
We know the terrain of the encounter.
3.
We have greater mobility and speed than the police.
4.
We are in command of the situation, and demonstrate great decisiveness, which on
the other hand will result in our enemy being stunned and incapable of acting.
5.
We are prepared to die in order to complete our objectives.
The technique of surprise is based upon four essential requirements:
a.
We know the situation of the enemy we are going to attack, usually by means of
precise information and meticulous observation, while the enemy does not know he
is going to be attacked and knows nothing about us.
b.
We know the strength of the enemy we are going to attack, and the enemy knows
nothing about our strength.
c.
We attack by surprise in single cells, independent of any hierarchical structure
and are therefore saving and conserving our forces, while our enemy is unable to
do the same, and is left at the mercy of events.
d.
We determine the time and place of the attack, decide its duration and establish
its objectives. Our enemy remains ignorant of all of this information.
Knowledge of the terrain
The urban Justiciar Knight's best ally is the terrain, and because this is so he
must know it like the palm of his hand. To have the terrain as an ally means to
know how to use with intelligence its unevenness, it’s high and low points, its
turns, its irregularities, its fixed and secret passages, its abandoned areas,
its thickets, etc., taking maximum advantage of all of this for the success of
armed actions, escapes, retreats, covers, and hiding places. Impasses and narrow
spots, gorges, streets under repair, stationary police posts, and closed-off
streets, the entrances and exits to tunnels and sewers and those that the enemy
can close off, corners controlled or watched by the police, traffic lights and
signals; all this must be thoroughly known and studied in order to avoid fatal
errors.
Our challenge is to get through and to know where and how to hide, leaving the
enemy bewildered in areas he doesn't know. Being familiar with the avenues,
streets, alleys, ins and outs, the corners of the urban centers, its paths and
shortcuts, its empty lots, its underground passages, its pipes and sewer
systems, the urban resistance fighter safely crosses through the irregular and
difficult terrain unfamiliar to the police, where the police can be surprised in
a fatal ambush or trap at any moment.
Because he knows the terrain, the Justiciar Knight can pass through it on foot,
on bicycle, in a car, and never be trapped.
The Justiciar Knight must know the way in detail, and, in this manner, must go
through the schedule ahead of time as a training, to avoid entering alleyways
that have no exit.
Decisiveness
It is not enough for the urban resistance fighter to have the following in his
favour; surprise, speed, knowledge of the terrain, and information. He must also
demonstrate his command of any situation and a capacity for decisiveness,
without which all other advantages will prove to be useless. Mental strength is
key.
It is impossible to carry out any action, however well-planned, if the urban
resistance fighter turns out to be indecisive, uncertain and irresolute. Even an
action successfully begun can end in defeat if command of the situation and the
capacity for decision falter in the middle of the execution of the plan. When
this command of the situation and a capacity for decision are absent, the void
is filled with hesitation and fear. The enemy takes advantage of this failure
and is able to neutralise us.
The secret of the success of any operation, simple or complex, easy or
difficult, is to rely on highly motivated and determined men depending on the
size of the cell. Strictly speaking, there are no simple operations: all must be
carried out with the same care.
Decisiveness means to put into practice the plan that has been devised with
determination, with audacity, and with an absolute firmness.
How to carry out the action
The Justiciar Knight must dedicate all his efforts in order to be completely
prepared before carrying out actions, for in this he cannot commit the slightest
error. Any carelessness in research and learning tactics and their use invites
certain disaster, as experience teaches us every day. Common criminals commit
errors frequently because of their lack of tactics.
The revolutionary method of carrying out actions is strongly and forcefully
based on the knowledge and use of the following elements;
1.
Financing your operation
2.
Safe research and intelligence gathering
3.
Acquirement of weapons, body armour and other equipment
4.
Transportation (having a car/scooter available or rely on expropriation)
5.
Safe storage in remote caches (The elimination of evidence)
6.
Reconnaissance or exploration of the terrain
7.
Study and timing of routes
8.
Simulate the operation again and again (study and practice)
9.
Success
A clandestine cell structure is a method for organising a group in such a
way that it becomes virtually immune to detection, penetration and decapitation.
As such, it is a critical strategic element of our operations. It is not in any
way lead under a fixed, fragile hierarchy but works as an extremely distributed
movement, a resilient network made up of small, autonomous groups or cells. Each
group is lead by a cell commander, often working solo, who makes all the
decisions based on fixed fundamental principles. We therefore avoid the use of
electronic communications (including mobile phones, email and internet chat),
because electronic intelligence, signals intelligence, ELINT, SIGINT, is a
strength of conventional militaries and counterintelligence organisations.
Solo Martyr Cells are completely unknown to our enemies and has a minimal chance
of being exposed. The relatively indestructible and impenetrable nature of the
Cell System allows the individual to stay hidden until he is ready to ”activate”
himself. Even then he will escape the scrutiny often reserved for young men of
Arab descent. Optimally he should not have any affiliations to ”extremist
networks” or to any extreme right wing movements for obvious reasons. This will
disallow the National Intelligence Agencies to place the individual on their
”radar”/under surveillance. As with the “open source” concept in general our
core principles which include armed resistance against the cultural Marxists/
multiculturalists are made available for public collaboration. Our evolving
approach to conducting warfare makes it extremely quick to innovate and share
tactics rapidly from cell to cell without the direction of a vulnerable
leadership hierarchy.
Each European country has tens of thousands individuals who are affiliated with
far right conservative movements (from moderate to extreme). In addition, there
are several thousand individuals who sympathise with armed resistance groups
against the cultural Marxists/multiculturalists (many of them being in the
police force and the intelligence agencies themselves).
National Intelligence Agencies have very limited resources and will not be able
to monitor tens of thousands of people efficiently (they will not waste
excessive resources on individuals who are not considered an immediate threat).
They will not have any chance whatsoever to implement efficient means against
Solo or even Duo cells because you are not on their ”priority watch list”. Even
if you are on a watchlist you have several opportunities.
Weaknesses
Groups and individuals who use terror (spreading fear and means of intimidation)
as its primary weapon (even if concentrated on specific individuals or
government buildings only) will always have limited ”open” support in the
population.
The rather excessive secrecy and decentralised concept of our command structure
can contribute to a reduction or distortion of information about our goals and
ideals. This would only be a problem if f. example a cell commander fails to
send an announcement to predefined news agencies and blogs. The biggest threat
is that media or government agencies might attempt to distort our messages and
material and present it to the media as NS or racist in nature in an attempt to
de-legitimise us. This has the potential to prevent the wanted effect of our
operation, support for our cause and political pressure on current regimes (to
halt Muslim immigration and Islamisation). However, if the cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist governments attempt to falsely give credit to racist
organisations they risk creating more activity among the NS movements so it is a
double edged blade even for them.
"[A
Templar Knight] is truly a fearless knight, and secure on every side, for his
soul is protected by the armour of faith, just as his body is protected by the
armour of steel. He is thus doubly-armed, and need fear neither demons nor men."
Bernard de Clairvaux, c. 1135, De
Laude Novae Militae—In Praise of the New Knighthood.
A good leader must correctly estimate the situation and all practical, military
and political factors. Any cell commander (even for solo cells) must learn to
master certain skills, traits and principles. He must have a strong conviction,
be self-confident, be highly motivated, hard working and with the practical
knowledge required in order to successfully execute an operation alone
(logistics, finance and execution). Furthermore, he must be willing to martyr
himself in the final operation.
A Justiciar Knight must be keenly aware of not only the terrain, but of local
political issues. They must also be fully up-to-date on the present enemy
status, intelligence methods and able to initiate quick and sometimes necessary
modifications in his strategy. Careful planning is required regardless of the
size of the cell.
It must also be remembered that the element of surprise is crucial in the
operation. A Justiciar Knight must often make quick decisions after initiating
and should have undergone several simulations (especially regarding timing of
allocation from target A to target B) of the operation prior to the actual
assault. There can be no hesitation during the execution of plans and he must be
prepared to act correctly should any potential problem arise.
A Cell commander is a volunteer and will often be working alone. Therefore the
traditional military “sheep mentality” is only a liability. It’s imperative that
the individual is creative, resourceful, ideologically self confident and has
the ability to maintain high moral. This is the reason why very few individuals
are cut out for activity (perhaps only 1 out of 1000 conservative activists).
The total weight of the operation (all aspects) will be on the Justiciar Knight
including:
- Finance the operation: from 10 000 Euros for basic operations (consecutive
executions) and up to 300 000+ Euros (for more advanced operations).
- Buying forged ID (if necessary)
- Rent an apartment and/or hiding place (base of operation), including setting

Org. type:
Military order/tribunal (Military/criminal tribunal), one of several patriotic
and armed European Resistance Movements/Indigenous Rights Movements/European
Crusader Movement
Re-founded:
London, UK, April 2002
Org. goal:
organisational goals are two fold as we are both an Indigenous Rights Movement
and a pan-European Crusader Movement.
20-70 year plan: Seize political and military power in all Western European
countries. Destroy and ban political Marxism/cultural Marxism (multiculturalism)
as political concepts in Europe and drive out Islam for a third time.
Through military coups, overthrow all multiculturalist (cultural Marxist)
regimes in Western Europe within the year 2100 and replace them with governments
supervised by a “patriotic guardian tribunal” consisting of cultural
conservatives/nationalists. The doctrines of multiculturalism (cultural Marxism)
and Islam will be banned as a hate-ideology. The traditional Western European
model for constitutional democracy (mass-democracy) will be reformed. Areas
related to “security and culture” (immigration, security, cultural identity,
traditions+) will be supervised by the guardian tribunal which has the right to
veto.
The rights of media companies, independent journalists and globalist companies
to influence and shape politics will be considerably restricted. All media
companies must reform and accept policies of affirmative action in order to
ensure that at least 50% of journalists/editors - staff are cultural patriotic
minded in order to create ideological balance (up from current day: 1%).
Goals:
-
Phase 1 (1999-2030): Cell based shock attacks, sabotage attacks etc.
-
Phase 2 (2030-2070): Same as above but bigger cells/networks, armed militias
-
Phase 3 (2070-2100): Contribution with the effectuation of the coup and
responsibilities in relation to security and executions of category A and B
traitors.
Operational goals: P1:
shock attacks, Execution of
category A, B and C traitors (multiculturalists/cultural Marxists/suicidal
humanists, capitalist globalists). Create favourable conditions for recruitment.
Foreign policy plan/territorial claims:
See compendium - 2083
Societal goal:
the Japanese, South Korean model (a
monocultural but highly developed and progressive society), the model they once
adopted from Europe.
Long term political goals - after the expulsion of Islam:
create the “European Federation” (a decentralised EU with strong emphasis on
national sovereignty, a new cultural conservative/nationalist (anti-Marxist)
hegemony consisting of Russia, a liberated Europe and a liberated US, Canada,
Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Org. structure/leadership:
de-centralised leadership structure - open source network, instead of a typical
hierarchical structure. Leadership and responsibility is distributed through an
open source network of self governing cells based on pre-defined principles.
Each cell is organised by a self appointed voluntary cell commander (Justiciar
Knight Commander) who commands up to 2 Justiciar Knight Operatives. Each cell is
independent and autonomous and is not allowed to have direct contact with the
founding members or other cell commanders/cell operatives.
Org. marketing/recruitment:
org. recruitment strategy: non-military “supporters/sympathisers” will
distribute/develop the compendium: 2083 – A European Declaration of Independence
or equivalent or use alternative methods. Censored or non-censored versions may
be distributed.
Org. ranks:
There were 9 founding members from 8 different countries, names are kept
confidential. Operative ranks:
-
Justiciar Knight Commander: commander of a cell network
-
Justiciar Knight Operative: operative of the cell under the authority of the
commander
-
Overseer: civilian rank
Future ranks:
-
Overseer (Master for national leader, Grand Master for pan-European leader) –
future civilian leader(s) in phase 1/2/3
-
National Grand Master Knight Commander:
future non-military leader in phase 2/3
-
Pan-European Grand Master Knight Commander:
future pan-European military leader in phase 2/3
Requirements:
must be a Christian, Christian agnostic or a Christian atheist. Even though the
PCCTS, Knights Templar are an Indigenous Rights Organisation we do not have any
racial requirements in order for an individual to become a Justiciar Knight.
Org. presence:
Primarily Western Europe, limited presence in the US and Eastern Europe. This
may change in the future but will be limited to European territories/countries
(US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa included).
Engagements:
N/A
1.
Use single or duo cell system. Several larger hierarchical networks/groups have
been uncovered and brought down in both Europe and the US due to crucial
mistakes that could easily have been avoided. Typical mistakes can be
affiliations with individuals on government watch-lists, if you add the people
from your group on Facebook etc. If you even as much as give indications that
you are up to something to people you know, you are incriminating them (and
thus, indirectly putting pressure on them to turn you in). A few years ago a
large military nationalist network was brought down in the US (consisting of
around 100 people). There were clear evidence that the individuals were linked
(evidence from informants, phone logs etc) and they all received harsh
sentences. The most rational approach would have been to create 50-100 cells and
cutting contact with each other completely (12-24 months prior to the assaults).
Instead this group worked as one big cell which made them very vulnerable. One
key informant could bring down the whole network. Obviously, you are immune to
informants/treason if you work alone.
2.
The second mistake is inexperience. Assuming the enemy is stupid, underestimates
the enemy's intelligence, thinks everything is easy and, as a result, leaves
evidence that can lead to his apprehension. Because of his inexperience, he may
also overestimate the resourcefulness of the enemy, believing them to be smarter
than they really are. Allowing himself to be fooled by this presumption, he
becomes intimidated and remains insecure and indecisive, paralyzed and lacking
in audacity.
3.
The third mistake is to select an overwhelmingly protected individual as a
target for assassination. 12 failed attempts on an extremely well protected
individual could have alternatively been 12 successful attacks on lesser targets
executing more than 50 primary targets. Targets should be influential media
personalities – multiculturalist politicians, journalists/editors, cultural
Marxist professors, Marxist writers/artists, NGO leaders, globalist investors.
Obviously, focus on individuals who does not have armed body guards.
4.
The fourth mistake is to boast about the actions you have undertaken or is about
to undertake and to broadcast them to the four winds. It is good to have a
strong sense of purpose but if you are afflicted by an excessive need to feed
your ego, you are likely to trust sensitive information to individuals who will
sell you out. If you are desperate for attention and for
“love/appreciation/compliments” you are likely to take un-necessary risks that
will end in your incarceration. Do not involve your ego by boasting about your
success, operation or entering into a “competition” with other patriots. As a
Justiciar Knight, you are strictly prohibited from disclosing sensitive
information to outsiders (whether they may sympathize with your core principles
or not). I estimate that approximately 50% of all armed resistance fighters are
are arrested and incarcerated before they even get the chance to execute their
mission due to their incompetence in relation to their total lack of discretion.
5.
The fifth mistake is to overestimate your partners strength/conviction and to
undertake actions for which you, as yet, lack sufficient equipment or
competence.
6.
The sixth mistake is rash action. You lose patience, suffer an attack of nerves,
do not wait for anything, and impetuously throw yourself into action, resulting
in a failed operation.
7.
The seventh mistake is to fail to plan things THOROUGHLY, and to act
spontaneously.
“During a time of change, the patriot is a scarce man. He is hated and scorned.
When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him. For then it costs nothing
to be a patriot. “
Mark Twain
You might remember the character from the first Matrix movie; somehow this
character had been awoken from his “pod” where he was connected to a fantasy
world, a software program. He didn’t like the reality he now faced as this
involved suffering and a fight against the machines at terrible odds. He didn’t
want to fight and he didn’t want to suffer. All he wanted was to be reconnected
to his pod where he could live his old fantasy life again – disconnected from
reality. The character went as far as cooperating with the machines and betrayed
his own people, for the promise of being reconnected to his pod. He was simply
unwilling to face reality and would even kill his own people to avoid
confronting it.
In
a way, this is the mainstream European in a nutshell. Scores of the people we
want to save from the ongoing European genocide do not want our help (or at
least, believe they do not want our help). In fact, many of them would do
everything in their power to avoid being confronted with reality. This explains
very often why well meaning individuals who are trying to warn the people around
them of an impending danger are condemned, ridiculed and even persecuted. It has
become our, the brave few, thankless task to wake up the people from the “pods”
and recruit them for the resistance movements of Europe. Unfortunately for us,
human nature can very often be disadvantageous to us. Many people have adapted
to this genocidal system and some have even indirectly accepted their fate. They
accept that the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist regimes are in the process of
wiping out European identity, our cultures, traditions and even our nation
states. Many are brainwashed to a degree where they will defend this
extermination program with their very life.
In order to wake up the masses, the only rational approach will be to make sure
the current system implodes. This will cause a lot of short term pain; cut in
welfare payouts, increased unemployment even starvation in extreme cases. The
bulk of our people will refuse to join resistance movements because they feel
they have too much to lose. They have invested several years and a lot of
resources in long educations and most people have mortgages/loans which they
have no choice but to attend to. Many receive exceptional government incentives
to stay “loyal” to the system. All of these responsibilities and incentives
cause a symbiosis between the victims (people) and the exterminator (regime) to
a degree where we have a collective mass-scale “Stockholm syndrome” (sympathies
and loyalty to captor). Our objective is to break these bonds and this can only
be achieved through contributing to creating a scenario where the anti-European
hate ideology we wish to destroy perishes/implodes or dies from a thousand cuts.
For every successful operation a new cut is applied and will contribute to this
ideology’s demise. Wiping out Marxism in Europe will take us 30-70 years but we
will succeed eventually. Every effort counts, have no doubt about that.
As the system weakens gradually, the unemployment rate will rise and people will
suffer short term. However, this is the only way we can create a situation where
people will actually stand up for their opinions. We must break their symbiosis
to their captor and many of the people we are trying to liberate will hate us
for it. Nevertheless, it is the only way to destroy cultural Marxism in Western
Europe and secure freedom to all Europeans.
“We do not want to do this, but we are left no choice.”
The 3-phase-process of destroying and replacing the current cultural Marxist/
multiculturalist regimes of Western Europe will not be easy or painless. Keep in
mind that these regimes we are fighting have and are still committing genocide
against the indigenous peoples of Europe by exposing them to more than 25
million Muslims. They have indirectly killed more than 15 000 Europeans, raped
more than 500 000 European women, robbed and terrorised more than 4,5 million
Europeans, fired more than 37 000 cultural conservatives from their jobs and
incarcerated more than 150 000 brothers and sisters for opposing their policies.
As a Justiciar Knight you are operating as a jury, judge and executioner on
behalf of all free Europeans. Never forget that it is not only your right to act
against the tyranny of the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elites of Europe,
it is your duty to do so.
There are situations in which cruelty is necessary, and refusing to apply
necessary cruelty is a betrayal of the people whom you wish to protect.
The preferred method is to attack in a violent and deceptive form (shock
attack), usually with limited forces (1-2 individuals).
Once you decide to strike, it is better to kill too many than not enough, or you
risk reducing the desired ideological impact of the strike. Explain what you
have done (in an announcement distributed prior to operation) and make certain
that everyone understands that we, the free peoples of Europe, are going to
strike again and again. Do not apologise, make excuses or express regret for you
are acting in self-defence or in a preemptive manner. In many ways, morality has
lost its meaning in our struggle. The question of good and evil is reduced to
one simple choice. For every free patriotic European, only one choice remains:
Survive or perish. Some innocent will die in our operations as they are simply
at the wrong place at the wrong time. Get used the idea. The needs of the many
will always surpass the needs of the few.
The principle of proportionality should be adhered to by those carrying out the
armed struggle against the multiculturalist elites of Europe. This means that we
should under normal (optimal) circumstances not exceed (per 2010) aprox.
45 000 dead and 1 million wounded cultural Marxists/multiculturalists in Western
Europe. The numbers reflect the equivalent number of victims they, themselves,
have on their conscience, the results they have inflicted on their own
populations due to implementation of the EU’s Eurabia project/European
multiculturalism. If you include the total amount of Serb soldiers that died due
to the NATO attacks, the numbers will be higher. In addition, approximately
10 000-20 000 Europeans have been killed in Northern Africa, Rhodesia and South
Africa due to the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist post-1950 policies. The
total number of Europeans the “category A and B traitors” of Western Europe have
killed are totalling approximately 100 000 based on these estimates. If you
include wider parameters (such as Christian Maronites, Copts, Azyrians) the
numbers will range in the hundreds of thousands. Western European regimes chose
to ignore the call from one of our protectorates (Christian Lebanon) and tens of
thousands died (and are still dying) as a result. If we include global Jihadi
genocides of Christians, such as in Sudan (where the Western European regimes
have refused to assist the call of our Christian allies due to appeasement of
the Islamic regimes) the numbers will range in the millions.
End note: Many conservatives (especially Christian conservatives), however,
would insist that the total number of aborted individuals are added as well as
direct casualties of the cultural Marxist ideology which totals aprox: 2 million
+ individuals in Western Europe since the beginning of 1950 until today.
“Violence is the mother of change.”
The following suggestions should be considered before the planning phase of any
operation is initiated.
Certain individuals will already have enough capital to fund an operation.
10 000–20 000 Euro would be sufficient for assassinations/executions of key
category A or B traitors. The range of funds needed varies from 10 000 - 200 000
Euro (depending on the nature of the operation). Here are a few guidelines if
you are completely broke or even indebted:
12 months of hard work (sales and marketing) would allow you to save
approximately 30 000-50 000 Euro in many Western European countries.
Furthermore, you will be able to apply for various credit and loan arrangements
(credit cards or other long term/short term credit solutions) netting you from
20 000-100 000 Euro. This should be sufficient for any low to medium scale
operation. Keep in mind that additional funds would give you more leeway and
allow for more operational flexibility.
The 9/11 operations cells (12 individuals) were reported to have required
somewhere between $400 000 and $500 000 in operating funds.
If criminal activities is the only available option for you, know this; It is
politically and strategically justifiable to ”expropriate” resources if it
finances the armed struggle. This the primary factor that separates urban
guerrillas from common criminals. Criminals rob for their own benefit while an
urban resistance guerrilla expropriate in order to serve his people and country.
Be creative
You can also attempt to get funding from financially privileged sympathisers in
your country. Present related projects (a book project or your plan to create a
youth movement related to Cultural Conservatism, anti-Jihad movement). Create a
business plan. Be very clear about your non-violent means while at the same time
sending the necessary signals. An alternative would be to organise a fund raiser
against global Jihad (to the victims of Jihad etc). The point of this façade is
to have proper justification to collect funds from sympathisers and at the same
time send the correct signals (we want your financial aid to the resistance
movement) without incriminating him/her/them in any way by revealing too much.
If he is a sympathiser he will support your “peaceful project”, or he will
reject it. At least 10% of capitalists sympathise with the cause to a degree
where they will agree to fund/contribute financially to your project/fund
raiser. It may be required to organise a fund raising organisation by creating a
company in a tax haven. Research various tax havens that offer the required
security and anonymity. There are more than 100 tax havens around the world,
although it’s critical to understand that only 7 of them are actually secure
enough (and the list is shrinking from year to year).
A short guide to maximising your credit (credit cards, loans)
I must admit I was quite concerned when starting on this aspect of the planning
phase. How can I apply for various credit cards if I have spent the last three
years writing a book with no steady income whatsoever?
After some research into this issue I concluded that getting normal loans was
out of the question as I did not fulfil the minimum required demands (official
tax records from previous year indicating a high income, real estate etc). This
would be an option for individuals who have real estate or people who can
document at least a stable income. Getting credit cards seemed to be the only
alternative for me and I would have to be creative as these requirements are
also quite strict. I had 60 000 Euro but wanted an additional reserve credit of
at least 20 000 Euro as a safety buffer. On May 2009 I started a company and
transferred the first “salary to myself” and created documentation on behalf of
the company supporting this. My intention was to create the necessary
documentation to get at least a minimum of credit.
Step 1 – create a foundation if required:
Create a company - transfer funds from your personal account to your business
account - transfer the first monthly amount (say 3000 Euro on May 15th)
according to the Norwegian system you deduct the tax (35-50%) and vacation funds
(aprox 10%) before transferring the rest of the amount (the actual salary) to
the individual).
June 15th – transfer second amount
July 15th – third payment
August 15th – fourth payment
You now have supporting data (verifiable bank transactions) to create the
required documentation (salary documentation for four months). You’re now ready
to start the application process to various companies.
Step 2 - mapping:
By now you should have already created an overview of various providers of
credit cards in your country. I identified aprox 20 various companies. Identify
who these companies are using as their primary bank. F example Bank x might use
several different sub companies to market different cards, but they will have
the same credit department. Avoid sending multiple applications to the same
company (credit department) as this will cause suspicion and may have all your
applications rejected.
Out of the 25 different credit cards I managed to trace them back to twelve
actual providers.
The problem now was that a great majority of them only had online procedure
forms. These online application templates would most certainly result in little
success as they use data from last year as the main criteria.
Step 3 – application process:
I applied online to twelve and sent physical applications with supporting
documentation to four providers.
As anticipated, ten of the online applications were rejected as many of them
didn’t even have a comment field. However, all you have to do is contact the
credit department of the various companies and forward the supporting
documentation.
Overview result: 16 applications sent, 7 decline (even after the supporting
documentation was provided) – 9 approved.
Total credit gained (including the credit card I already had): 26 000 Euro.
It was more than I expected to get considering the fact that I had a weak
platform to acquire from. This credit will serve as a buffer amount/emergency
funds in the later phase of the operation if needed.
A person who can verify a stable salary of f example 70 000 Euro can get up to
240 000 Euro in credit/loans based on this level of salary alone, even more if
you have real estate.
As a general rule, aprox 15-50% of operational funds should be credit, not more.
This should be used if needed as a last recourse as you only have around 30-60
days before they (the companies) will start to implement various measures to
acquire their funds back if you miss payments. You can of course max your limit
on the various cards and administrate the payments so that it is somewhat
financially synchronised with the final operation date. Also, be sure to double
check the legislation concerning credit card debt in your country and ensure
that it will not be transferred to your loved ones (wife, kids) in case of death
or incarceration.
Estimated funds required for high quality equipment
Armour, weapons and ammo: 7 000 – 30 000 Euro
Explosives materials: 5 000 – 100 000 Euro
Other logistics/transport/lodging: 3 000 – 20 000 Euro
Total amount spent in the planning + creation of book
Aprox 240 000 Euro, 140 000 for the creation of the compendium and approximately
140 000 Euro for the operation.
Present a ”credible project/alibi” to your friends, co-workers and family.
Announce to your closest friends, co-workers and family that you are pursuing a
”project” that can at least partly justify your ”new pattern of activities”
(isolation/travel) while in the planning phase.
F example, tell them that you have started to play World of Warcraft or any
other online MMO game and that you wish to focus on this for the next
months/year. This ”new project” can justify isolation and people will understand
somewhat why you are not answering your phone over long periods. Tell them that
you are completely hooked on the game (raiding dungeons etc). Emphasise to them
that this is a dream you have had since you were a kid. If they stress you,
insist and ask them to respect your decision. You will be amazed on how much you
can do undetected while blaming this game. If your planning requires you to
travel, say that you are visiting one of your WoW friends, or better yet, a girl
from your ”guild” (who lives in another country). No further questions will be
raised if you present these arguments.
Blaming WoW is also quite strategic due to another factor. It is usually
considered ”tabu” or even shameful in our society today to be hooked on an MMO.
By revealing ”this secret” to your close ones you are therefore (to them at
least) entrusting them with your innermost secret. Usually they will
”contribute” to keeping this secret for you which can be very beneficial. (If
people from your ”secondary” social circle ask them they will even usually ”lie”
on your behalf (giving you alibi), in order to keep your MMO project a secret.
Avoid exposing your political conviction
Appear politically correct or at least moderate, dress normally. Try to limit
your rhetorical activities. Avoid excessive forum posting. Excessive forum
activity might get you ”flagged” by your national government.
How to use social taboos to prevent individuals close to you from digging too
much or ask too many questions - AND how to easily manipulate them into
assisting you in protecting your cover from everyone else without them having
the slightest clue what is going on
Using social taboos is an extremely effective method from preventing people who
know you well from digging too much or ask too many questions about your
activities that weekend or that year. It is also an extremely effective method
for manipulating them into protecting your cover.
Long term covers:
·
Say you play WoW (World of Warcraft) or another MMO and have developed an
addiction for it. Say that are going to play hardcore for the rest of the year
and it is no point trying to convince you otherwise. Inform them that you will
be busy doing that in the future etc. Tell them that you are ashamed of it and
you don’t want to talk any more about it. Make them swear to not tell anyone!
(you just effectively prevented any more questions from that person AND made the
individual assist you in protecting your cover from everyone else)
·
Say you think you are gay and are in the process of discovering your new self
and that you don’t want to talk any more about this issue. Tell them that you
are ashamed of it and you don’t want to talk any more about it. Make them swear
to not tell anyone! (your ego is
likely to take a dent unless you are secure in your own heterosexuality, because
they will actually believe you are
gay. However, it’s an extremely effective strategy for stopping questions and
prevent people from digging in your life when you don’t want them to.
Short term covers:
·
If you need a credible cover, when going abroad for a weekend etc. and the
individuals you are trying to convince are too closely related to you to buy
into any BS about a “conference cover etc); say you are going to a massage
parlour or brothel abroad. Tell them that you are ashamed of it and you don’t
want to talk any more about it. Make them swear to not tell anyone!
These are all cynical and manipulative strategies but extremely effective. Lying
to and manipulating other people is generally a bad thing and should be avoided
if possible. However, the severity of our operation often requires us to be
cynical, manipulative and pragmatical. We don’t have to like it, but we
occasionally have to do it.
There are certain steps you can take in order to make it very hard for the
National Intelligence Agency to monitor you.
Obviously, the best approach is to avoid ending up on their watch list all
together.
They may have you on a watch list already and might even monitor some of your
activities (internet/cell phone traffic). This will likely be the case if you
have been involved in right wing activities in the past and are considered a
threat against the establishment.
Avoid using channels they can monitor for activities involving planning of the
operation. Use alias’s when corresponding while doing research. Use software
which masks your IP address and other technology while researching via the
internet (f example the Tor network, anonymize.net or Ipredator). Be extra
careful when researching for bomb schematics (fertiliser bombs) as many terms
will trigger electronic alerts. You can consider using other people’s networks
remotely via laptop by parking outside their apartment/house. You can also buy
an anonymous laptop and browse free from your local Mc Donalds etc. Use software
to remove spy ware, cookies etc.
Before you start planning an operation use the following guidelines:
No email correspondence, phone activity that might incriminate you or reveal any
information of relevance.
The most essential aim is to avoid ending up on any watch list.
Quick list
1.
Mobile phone. Turn it off or they can triangulate your position anywhere.
Certain phones are possible to monitor even when turned off even if you take out
the battery (they have internal batteries for certain functions).
2.
Surfing/email. Treat it as if you know it will be monitored. It’s rarely a safe
method to use if you want anonymity even if you use the draft box in your email
account to communicate with someone. Alternatively, create a more secure email
account (hushmail or any service which offer a greater degree of anonymity)
while using Tor network (masking your IP). Alternatives to Tor are anonymize.net
or Ipredator. It’s an annoying but necessary process as Tor makes your
connection very slow, and you have to make sure it’s always on when you log in
to your email or each time you research sensitive topics. I usually use Mozilla
Firefox for Tor and Internet Explorer for normal surfing. Consider acquiring an
unregistered laptop and surf while using LAN stations outside your home (many Mc
Donald’s or other service shops offer free wireless LAN which you can tap into
outside their premises while sitting in your car. Just remember that if you use
an unregistered and anonymous laptop for this purpose then remember that you
must never use it for purposes that may reveal your identity at a later point.
3.
Facebook, treat this channel as if you know it will be monitored.
4.
European toll stations. Many European countries/cities have toll stations where
you pay a small fee to pass. Some of these will film/photograph your car and
even the driver. This varies but in some cases this data will be archived for as
long as 10 years allowing the intelligence agency to back trace activity and
movement patterns.
5.
Travelling. Be sure to have a credible reason for travelling (memorise details
about congresses, museums, names of certain institutions etc.) or bring
brochures that you printed from the net. There are always plenty of congresses
or exhibitions every week in European major cities. Consider joining specific
Facebook groups – interest areas/congresses/exhibitions prior to trip to
increase the credibility of your “alibi” f example.
6.
Never use credit cards while travelling abroad, always use cash. Ensure that you
provide the correct currency before you leave and bring 20-30% more than your
estimate using.
7.
Using your network. As a general rule. You will increase your chance of being
apprehended by 100% for every person you involve. Don’t trust anyone unless you
absolutely need to (which should never be the case). Do absolutely everything
yourself.
8.
If you are in the middle of a WMD “acquiring phase” relating to components
needed for a bomb (fertiliser etc), then divide the “acquiring phase into five
sub phases in the following order:
·
Primary explosive phase
·
Fertiliser phase
·
Nitromethane/jet fuel/diesel phase
·
Remote detonator/timer detonator device phase
·
Transportation (renting trucks/vans – you don’t initiate this sub phase until 1
week before the operation)
You don’t start the separate phases until you are completely done with each
sub-phase. You DO NOT initiate two or more phases at the same time! You always
start with the hardest part – the acquisition of TNT/dynamite/semtex or similar
substances, then move on to the next phase. The first sub-phase consists of
acquiring TNT/dynamite. As soon as you have acquired f example 100-500 kg you
secure it and bury it in an underground cache at a unique and remote location.
You can THEN initiate the fertiliser phase. When you are done acquiring enough
fertiliser (2-5 tons) you secure it/seal it from moisture and bury it at a safe
and DIFFERENT location (preferably in an underground cache). After that
sub-phase is completed you can start on acquiring nitro or jet fuel. If you are
unable to acquire these substances than just use diesel. If the intelligence
agency receives intel about your activities during any of the sub-phases they
will strike when they know there is an orgy of evidence available. By dividing
the acquisition phase into sup-phases this will make it a lot more difficult for
them should they ever receive any intel about you. Also, you should establish
covers for each sub phase. F example, as you collect fertiliser you should have
a business plan and a credible cover which will confirm that you are using the
fertiliser for a harvest. You will need to create a business plan where you
describe exactly how you are going to use the fertiliser (obviously, choose a
type of crop for your cover that you know will require a maximum amount of
fertiliser and acquire it during the beginning of the season not to avoid
triggering “red flags”). Renting/leasing a small farm area (this farm house can
also be used as your acquisition HQ) will strengthen the credibility of your
cover for that sub phase. Equivalent covers should be established for each sub
phase. F example, you should have a business plan for a small mineral
exploration company (mineral exploration – blasting/drilling) before you
start/attempt acquiring TNT. It is essential that your cover is credible enough
to withstand potential scrutiny. Create and establish a company, create a
business plan, create business cards, an internet site etc. Remember, you don’t
need to re-invent the wheel here. Just cannibalise any available business plan
on the topic as many are available on the field of “mineral exploration”. Rinse
and repeat using these principles during the various sub phases relating to
acquisition as it may be your “get out of jail free card” should someone ever
receive any intel about you. Creating credible covers is an essential part of
“acquisition management”.
“A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of
obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human
morality. “
Winston Churchill
Being a Justiciar Knight is not for everyone. You are normally required to plan
absolutely everything alone; fight alone to see your mission through and you are
likely to die alone with half of your city’s system protectors hunting you.
However,
I have never in my life felt that I have done anything more meaningful than what
I am doing now regardless of the lack of moral support from my founding brothers
or other armed resistance fighters. Support from our extremely distributed and
anonymous “non-hierarchy” out there would be nice but I have managed to cope
through mental discipline to become what I am today; a self driven and highly
effective manifestation of an independent resistance cell. I have managed to
stay focused and highly motivated for a duration of more than 9 years now. I
feel really happy about my current course. In fact, I have never been happier
than I am today and I do not find it problematical hide my true ideological
agenda from everyone else. To all I know I am a moderate right-winger and not a
resistance fighter. It isn’t easy to reach this level of mental comfort and
focus while at the same time working on something so important and serious. You
have to overcome difficult initial psychological challenges and perform a slight
subsequent mental check every single day until the operation is complete. This
shouldn’t be underestimated as it is perhaps the most important aspect of being
a part of an “open-source resistance network” where you rely on being able to
motivate yourself. Embracing martyrdom is not something you suddenly decide to
do, but it is a process that takes time and requires effort and self
contemplation. This is a factor that a majority of resistance fighters ignore
and is why a majority of novices become de-motivated after a certain period.
They are not doing what is required of them due to lack of training, knowledge
and eventually lose the will to fight due to lack of motivation.
I do a mental check almost every day through meditation and
philosophising. I simulate/meditate while I go for a walk, playing my Ipod in my
neighbourhood. This consists of a daily 40 minute walk while at the same time
philosophising ideologically/performing self indoctrination and the mental
simulation of the operation while listening to motivational and inspiring music.
I simulate various future scenarios relating to resistance efforts,
confrontations with police, future interrogation scenarios, future court
appearances, future media interviews etc. or I philosophise about certain
articles in the book. This daily mental exercise or ritual keeps me fully
motivated and charges my batteries. And I’m sure it can work for other people as
well.
Learning the ability/rituals to motivate yourself and being able to follow this
ritual on a daily basis is perhaps the most essential aspect of our armed
resistance effort in phase 1. One of the reasons why Muslims are so effective at
guerrilla warfare is that they keep themselves motivated by praying five times a
day and reciting motivational Suras from the Quran.
This might sound appalling and outrageous to especially some Christian religious
members of the revolutionary conservative resistance fighters but certain
measures can and should be taken to balance/revitalise your psychological state
of mind in situations when you feel completely de-motivated and down during the
various planning phases. At the end of the day; you are your own worst enemy,
and de-motivation leading to psychological breakdown and eventually to a
scenario where a resistance fighter chooses to abandon the ideological cause is
one of the most recurrent causes for individuals who lacks competence in
revitalising and balancing his psychological state of mind.
It is absolutely essential that you, as a conservative revolutionary learn and
practice efficient rituals and various methods to maintain high moral and
motivation. It is permitted and even encouraged that you seek whatever solutions
that works for you including enjoying good food, sexual stimuli, meditation and
any and all methods that will contribute to keep your moral and motivation up.
From a pragmatical point of view; these methods are considered as a quite
efficient psychological stimulus which has the potency to boost your serotonin
production and help you overcome any situation where you feel drained, scared,
insecure, confused or de-motivated. As overcoming continuous and often daily
personal psychological barriers is at the very core of our challenges, using
these tactical psychological methods and similar approaches should be considered
an integral part of the planning phases to ensure that you remain in a balanced
state of mind. A balanced state of mind (especially for single or duo cells) is
required for any military operation which last over a longer period. You may be
prevented from communicating and receiving a much needed “pat on the back” or
encouraging comments from other cell members as you may be in a single or duo
cell, relying on your own self-encouraging measures. Ensuring that you maintain
a stable, motivated and focused mind is anything but absurd. Yes, for certain
religious members, certain measures are obviously in violation to biblical
teachings but the amount of grace and divine goodwill generated at the point
where you sacrifice everything (in the martyrdom operation) will provide you
with an abundance of it, which will more than nullify any minor or serious sins
committed prior to operation.
How to sustain your high morale and motivation for years through music
Becoming and maintaining the position as a self sufficient Justiciar Knight
sleeper cell involves the capability to motivate/indoctrinate yourself over a
prolonged period of time. Self-financed and self-indoctrinated single individual
attack cells, is the backbone of the Knights Templar Europe.
The importance of the ability for single cell commanders to be able to keep
their spirits and morale up through self-indoctrination and motivation by using
specific motivational techniques has been stressed on multiple occasions.
I have previously stated that taking long walks/work out while listening to
select music is a very efficient way of sustaining your needs in this regard.
3-5, 40-90 min walks/workouts per week has sustained my high morale, confidence
and motivation for several years. When you combine this “ritual” with reading
the occasional resistance blog you gain all the motivation you will ever need.
Repeat these routines on a weekly basis and you will sustain your motivation and
moral for as long as is needed. Keep in mind that from the initial planning of
your operation to the actual effectuation of it, the time passed can exceed 2
years. The key to stay focused and motivated without taking the unacceptable
risk of communicating with other revolutionary conservatives, is to employ
successful motivational techniques on your own.
I will now show you several music tracks you should acquire as soon as possible
which are ideal for the purpose of maintaining a high level of motivation and
confidence:
Motivational music tracks, artist: Saga
Saga is a courageous, Swedish, female nationalist-oriented musician who creates
pop-music with patriotic texts. She is, as far as I know, the best and most
talented patriotic musician in the English speaking world. And for those of you,
like myself, who hates “metal”, Saga is one of the few sources available that
offers quality patriotic pop-music with brilliant texts. Most of the tracks are
in English and some are in Swedish.
Marxist and multiculturalist character-assassins will claim that Saga is an
evil, national-socialist monsterband from hell, due to her success. However,
this characteristic couldn’t be anywhere further from the truth. Although the
environment surrounding Saga, the former NSF – National Sosialistisk Forening (a
former Swedish Indigenous Rights Movement demonised as “evil Nazi monsters”),
used to be self-proclaimed national socialists; it has become evident that most
of them now has embraced a more national conservative ideological denomination
of conservatism, very similar to that of Knights Templar Europe. Saga has
created several pop-tracks with nationalist-oriented texts that will appeal to
all conservatives, and especially revolutionary conservatives of all
conservative ideological denominations.
Saga has the credibility to use the texts presented vocally as she has been a
Swedish and European conservative resistance fighter for more than 10 years,
working for the political and cultural interests of Sweden and the interests of
all Swedes, Scandinavians and Europeans. Saga and similar patriotic heroes and
heroines of Scandinavia, who unlike individuals like myself who has yet to come
out of the “revolutionary conservative closet”, has had to face political
persecution and demonisation for years. Yet they continue their brave struggle
to prevent the demographical and cultural genocide of the Scandinavian and
European tribes. Instead of “physical” revolutionary or democratic resistance,
she fights through her music by inspiring the best in us.
I discovered Sagas music relatively late, in 2008, but have enjoyed it ever
since. I have listened to many of the tracks several hundred times and I don’t
seem to get tired of them. I would HIGHLY recommend that all Justiciar Knights
of Europe and other revolutionary conservatives use these tracks for
self-motivating purposes. Don’t just listen to the tracks but learn the texts as
well. It has worked brilliantly for me and it will likely work just as well for
you. However, “soon-to-become conservative martyrs” should be careful when
acquiring the tracks (use anonymizer software and take other necessary
precautions) as it is likely that the distribution of the music is monitored by
the Swedish intelligence agency, under directive of the Swedish multiculturalist
regime.
Below are the best tracks with comment from the albums: Pro Patria III (PP) and:
On My Own (OMO). Some lyrics are created
The best vocal English tracks:
One Nation Arise (OMO)
Life is a struggle in these changing times
Thoughts once natural now classed as hate crimes
Those now in power they fear no one but one
a man with open eyes and a sober mind so strong
It's been said before - but still we do not heed...no!
To free the enslaved minds of the sleeping mass
W e must cast away the yokes ignore status and class
Barriers were built to make us forget blood ties
And now we aren't as one and egos benefits on lies
It's been said before - but still we do not heed!
Folk and Nation first - and blood not personal greed.
And it's been said before - but still we do not heed.
Free your enslaved minds and open up your eyes and see!
The strength of your people - one Nation arise!
It is good versus evil it's the eternal fight
To overcome the darkness we must spreed the light
It's been said before - but still we do not heed!
Chorus
Life is a struggle in these changing times
Thoughts once natural now classed as hate crimes.
It's been said before - but still we do not heed!
Chorus: repeat x3
Hypocrite (OMO)
Too many people spend their time spreading gozzips and complaints
They seek someone to hang, they seek someone to blame
In their search for a scapegoat they forgot to look in the mirror
Apathy of weak people is what caused this daily horror
You’re the one the one to blame oh
People like you cause us pain oh
You’re the one the one to blame
Start to act but use your brain
People like you who haven’t got the guts to stand up for your views
You forget the simple fact it’s people like you who makes us loose
You complain about the politicians but still you vote them in
You’ve lost your soul you coward to sell your pride is a sin
Chorus
You complain about the immigration you really make me sick
It was your vote that opened the border you filthy hypocrite
You say one thing but do another just how weak can one man be
You’re the reason for our misery so blame yourself and don’t blame me
Chorus x2
Black Bannered Legion (OMO)
Raise the flag of solid black to keep the memory alive
Of black clad legions who fought and died for our folk in forty-five
Black is the colour of mourning for the martyrs of Vinland too
Mathews and Kirk and Singer and Rockwell and Kahl stood true
Raise the flag of destiny as black as the wing of a raven
And change it not nor raise another ‘til we have a folkish haven
Raise the flag of destiny...the flag of destiny!
Black is the colour of midnight which the tyrant shall learn to dread
As we honour fallen martyrs with steel and fire and lead
The ancient Aryan symbol is also drawn in black
So underneath that colour we will take our nations back
Chorus
And when we have that land of our own then on that holy ground
We’ll plant our flag of raven black upon a sacred mound
Chorus x2
Ode To A Dying People (OMO, the most popular of the tracks)
Eyes shining bright with unspilled tears
Thinking about all those waisted years,
When everything worth living for is gone,
And brother I find it hard to keep fighting on
Falling down towards the abyss, the abyss
The reaper embraces me with his kiss
It makes me want to refuse to care, refuse to care
To watch this all unfold to much to bare
If this is the way it ends, if this is the way my race ends
If this is the way it ends, I can’t bare to witness
If this is the way it ends, if this is the way my race ends
If this is the way it ends, I can’t bare to witness-oh!
Disease encroaching on all I hold dear
Somehow I gotta get my soul outta here
Heart of agony, faint burning hope
I'm finding it hard to try to cope
The cause liars own the world with conquering poise, conquering poise
In a wasteland of meaningless noise
We don't stand a chance with the dormant pride, with the dormant pride
The heroes of our race have already died
Chorus
To imagine it has all come down to this
Apathy and suicidal bliss
It's all over except for the cryin'
With a whimper instead of the roar of a lion
The greatest race to ever walk the earth, walk the earth
Dying a slow death with insane mirth
The tomb has been prepared, our race betrayed, our race betrayed
White man, fight the flight towards the grave
Choru x2
Don’t let it end this way, don’t let it end this way
Don’t let it end this way, I can’t bare to witness
The Nation’s Fate (OMO)
The best are condemned to useless lives
When chaos regimes and the merchant thrieves
The basest sort then make sport
Of those who die with anguished cry
Because they told the nation's fate
Gods of the rabble are greed and lust
Love and honour turned to dust
Patriots in cages and liars as sages
The tyrants rage in every age
Black is white and evil is good
And nothing pure is understood
Emotions grow cold and the future is sold
The senses are sated and the prophets are hated
Because they told the nation's fate
Chorus
The state and the press and the church are a tool
An honest man is labled a fool
Every man must abase
Every kin and every race
Or face the fearsome despots plan
To destroy every man
The whores of merchant pave the road to hell
Twisting words to weave a spell
Master deceivers making believers
Misleading men with a cunning pen
To hate those who tell the Nations Fate
Chorus
Tomorrow Belongs To Me
The sun on the meadow is summery warm.
The stag in the forest runs free.
But gather together to greet the storm.
Tomorrow belongs to me.
Tomorrow belongs to me.
The branch of the linden is leafy and
Green,
The Rhine gives its gold to the sea.
But somewhere a glory awaits unseen.
Tomorrow belongs to me.
Tomorrow belongs to me.
The babe in his cradle is closing his eyes
The blossom embraces the bee.
But soon, says a whisper;
"Arise, arise,
Tomorrow belongs to me"
Oh Fatherland, Fatherland,
Show us the sign
Your children have waited to see.
The morning will come
When the world is mine.
Tomorrow belongs to me!
The Snow Fell
He sat in a room
in a square of the color of blood.
He'd rule the whole world
if there was a way that he could.
He'd sit and he'd stare
at the minarets on top of the towers.
For he was a beast
as he hatched his new plans to gain power.
(chorus)
And the snow fell
covering the dreams and ideals.
And the snow fell
freezing the blood and the wheels.
And the snow fell
they had to keep up for survival.
And the snow fell
defeating the beast's only rival.
They took the old roads
that Napoleon had taken before.
They fought as a force as a light
against the darkness in a holy war.
One day they were looking around
and the sun was shining on the cold flowers.
The next day they were freezing to death
in the sleet and the ice cold showers.
(chorus)
Then came the deadly roads
back from the stairs of their retreat.
The cold racked their bodies
but worse was the pain of defeat.
Many people who had hailed them once
now turned and looked away.
These people now knew
that the beast was on its way.
(chorus)
You finally came back
to the borders of your fatherland.
Now enemies came
traitors everywhere at hand.
Many people who had fought and died
knowing that they had to win.
It still sickens my heart
to see the picture of the red flag in Berlin.
(chorus)
The best vocal Swedish tracks (For Norwegians, Swedes and Danes):
Valkyrian (PP)
Där själar krigar, där själar faller
Av vikingar som lystrade till kallet
Fallen är nu krigaren, vikingen från Nord
Marken färgas röd av hans spillda blod
Fallen är nu krigaren, vikingen från Nord
Marken färgas röd av hans spillda blod
Jag är Valkyrian som ska ta dig hem
Krigare, skänk din styrka till de som kämpar än
Jag flyger över Skandinavien, dag som natt
Tar hem de krigare som faller döda ner
Ingen smärta känner dom någonsin mer
Chorus
Yttrandefrihet (PP)
Att få säga fritt sin mening
Vad den än må vara
Att få tänka fria tankar
Och att själv få svara
Sverige vakna upp nu!
Kampen ska ta vid
För yttrandefriheten
Blåser vi nu till strid!
Hets mot folkgrupp kallas
Den lag ni slår oss med
Då ni smider oss med hammaren,
Mot mångkulturens städ
Grundlagen förnekas
Och väger mycket lätt,
Då ockupanter och förrädare
I Sverige skipar rätt
Chorus x3
Krigarens Själ (PP)
Hans kropp är trött och hungrig men han får aldrig ro
Han har vigt sitt liv åt kampen, kampen som är hans tro
Törsten efter frihet tänder eldar i hans själ
Ty krigaren söker frihet och vägrar att bli träl
Tapper - med hundra lejons mod
Svensk - med det renaste blod
Stolt - Aldrig bli en träl
Krigare - med en själ
Han kämpar för sanning, och frihet åt hans folk
Aldrig ger han upp, utan står för evigt stolt
Fienden är mäktiga, men ändå står han kvar
Modet är hans säkrade tron i hjältarnas sal
Svenskars land och folk är vad han strider för
Han vägrar se på hur sanningen sakta dör
Chorus x2
Han ger allt för sin kamp, för blod och ära
Aldrig skall han på förlustens tunga ok bära
Viker aldrig av som en feg hund från sina led
Hans namn ristas i runor, svensken som alltid stred
Chorus x2
Frihetens Fana (PP)
Se nu svenskar mot framtiden så ny
Se nu svenskar när morgondagen åter gry
Vårt land reser sig ännu en gång
Svenskar ska åter sjunga frihetens sång
Frihetens fana, svenska ungdomen nu bär
Frihetens fana, för en nation vi håller kär
Ungdomen tar täten mot en ny horisont
Den blågula fanan skall leda vår front
Den vajar i vinden, så fritt och stolt
Svea Rikes fana, symbolen för vårt folk
Chorus x2
Vårt älskade land, vår älskade fosterjord
Där förfäder en gång spillde sitt blod
Deras namn är evigt ristade i frihetens sten
De kämpade och dog för att hålla marken ren
Chorus x4
Drömmarnas Stig (PP) – my personal favourite
Tvungen att vandra i pinande motvind
Dömd att leva i samhällets skugga
Ständigt förljugen av maktens språkrör
Och föraktad av gemene man
Vore det inte simpelt att bara blunda
Att avvika från våra drömmars stig?
Vore det inte en befrielse att glömma
Att avsvära sig folksjälens plikt?
När folk du litat på vänder dig ryggen
Och ansluter sig till massans slummer
När män från början bundna av lojalitet
Splittras och förblindas av guldets makt
Chorus
Detta skall ses som en prövningarnas fas
Ödets verktyg att sålla bort veklingar
Kampens styrka kommer av offervilja
Vår urgrund står på övertygelse
Chorus
Tvungen att vandra i pinande motvind
Dömd att leva i samhällets skugga
Ständigt förljugen av maktens språkrör
Och föraktad av gemene man
Chorus
Känner du dig då manad till strid?
Låt dig själv aldrig tvivla på seger!
Låt aldrig den nationella lågan fallna
Må den sätta Svea Rikes själar i brand
The above are the best tracks from Saga. I ignored the tracks I consider lacking
or due to them being unavailable.
From site: thisissaga.com
Other artists:
Lux Aeterna by the English composer and musician Clint Mansell
Comment: I love this work. Lux Aeterna
means “eternal light” and it really is an appropriate title. I’ve listened to
this track several hundred times and I never seem to get tired of it. The track
is very inspiring and invokes a type of passionate rage within you. In Lord of
the Rings – a good version of this track (Requiem for a Tower version which I
think is the best) is performed during the most intense fighting of one of the
central battles. Since it has worked for me, it is likely that it will work for
you. An invigorating piece of art.
Motivational music tracks, artist: Helene Bøksle
The following is Helene Bøksle`s - Age of Conan theme music. Three of the tracks
surpass almost anything I've heard before. The tracks are in old Norse tongue
(old Norwegian), truly epic, very powerful and motivational and even worthy of
playing during a martyrdom operation (in addition to Saga and Clint Mansell).
Track 1: The Dreaming - Ere the World Crumbles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kn99vRCbww
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g5KYv2oqXk (live version)
Track 2: Nighttime journey through the Eiglophian mountains (Ascending Cimmeria)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GVMEdIfaJQ
Track 3: The Dreaming Anew - Memories of Cimmeria
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deDNzOYHu-4
Imagine the following; at the end of your mission, when you have completed your
primary objectives - imagine fighting for your life against a pursuing pack of
system protectors (or as I like to call them: armed defenders of the
multiculturalist system, also referred to as the police). You try to avoid
confrontation but they eventually manage to surround you. You hear this song as
you push forward to annihilate one of their flanks, head shotting two of your
foes in bloody fervor trying to survive. This angelic voice sings to you from
the heavens, strengthening your resolve in a
hopeless battle. Your last desperate thrust kills
another two of your enemies. But it isn’t enough as you are now completely
surrounded; your time is now. This voice is all you hear as your light turns to
darkness and you enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. This must surely be the most
glorious way to claim the honour of martyrdom in battle.
The following is also decent track for maintaining a high morale during a
limited battle confrontation although it lacks vocal:
The Awakening - Hyborian Adventures
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHrE_fU2OtY
1.
Research phase
Storing certain information electronically in shorter or longer periods is
unavoidable during the research phase (logistical strategies and bomb/weapon
schematics etc). This information is usually stored on the individuals PC while
doing research. Keep in mind that the planning of military operations/attacks
(under terrorism laws) is illegal. A schematic or vague indications of a plan
are not considered solid evidence unless backed by either witness testimony or
either weapons or explosive components together with verifiable affiliations to
terror groups.
2.
Logistics
Before you start the logistics phase you need to store all relevant
research/information on a memory stick and get rid of it (bury it in a moist
proof sealed container far away from your home, you will acquire it again in
phase 3). The reason is that any written plans combined with weapons or
explosives are considered solid evidence. Also, you need to replace (get rid of
or destroy) your physical PC hard drive. Deleting the information is not
sufficient. You need physically destroy it, submerge it in liquid and dump it on
the other side of town. You are now set to start the logistics phase. Acquire
the necessary weapons, ammo, body armour and explosives. As the “shopping phase”
can last up to 12 months you should divide the total list into 4 batches. As
soon as you have bought 25 or 33% of the list, seal it in a container and bury
far from your home/base. Find separate locations for the next caches. The
essence is to avoid having weapons/armour (evidence) in your base/home as it
will incriminate you.
3.
Assembly phase
Before you start this phase, you should keep in mind that phase 4 will be
executed shortly after assembly. You should therefore ensure that you have
completed all practical assignments (or private issues) before you start phase
3. This is the most risky phase. You are vulnerable as you will have all the
equipment (evidence) you have acquired readily available. Ensure that the
assembly phase does not last longer than it should (7 days maximum).
4.
Implementation/execution of operation
Assembly phase completed. You are now ready to start on your final mission. Good
luck and give them hell!
End note: I divided my operational phases into the following sub phases:
1.
Armour research phase
2.
Armour acquirement phase
Purge harddrive, purge evidence, bury armour crate
3.
Weapons research phase
4.
Weapons acquirement phase
Purge harddrive, evidence, did not bury weapons crate
5.
Explosives research phase
6.
Explosives acquirement phase
Purge harddrive, purge evidence
7.
Explosives manufacturing phase

Execution
Creating your mining/agriculture cover before an acquisition phase
Personally, I downloaded Foxit PDF Editor w. serial which allows you to
completely rewrite/modify any existing PDF Prospectus with all rights. Thanks to
this software or any equivalent you can easily rewrite professional looking
prospectuses to suit your specific needs. I first researched the mining
industry, through financial/stock channels, especially looking for old mining
related prospectuses in relation to small companies which went public (IPO or
Initial Public Offering when being listed on a stock exchange) or which had
undergone equity/share issue, a process for acquiring capital. I reviewed a
total of 14 various mining related prospectuses for small sized companies before
I found a suitable prospectus. Optimally, the company should be relatively
unknown and in a start up phase as it is essential that the cover is credible
(an English prospectus is preferable).
I spent two to three weeks rewriting the prospectus and setting up the
correlating website with business card. I may use this cover when I approach
suppliers or in a worst case scenario; this cover may create a reasonable doubt
during a future trial as it will strongly indicate that I intend to use any
future explosives acquired in a commercial manner (surface mining in Nordland
and Finnmark), should I ever get arrested. The prospectus and accompanying
mining related resources may contribute to create a reasonable doubt in any
future terror trial considering the fact that it looks very
professional/credible with inclusion of specific blasting sites. Optimally, I
should photo-document multiple blast sites (f example 50-100) in order to add to
the credibility but I am uncertain that I will have the resources to do that at
this point (Nordland and Finnmark is 700-1000 km from Oslo).
As for creating an agriculture cover relating to the acquisition of substantial
amounts of nitro-fertilizer; I originally had planned to create yet another
agriculture prospectus and website etc. for use in the fertilizer-acquirement
phase. However, I will instead just educate myself concerning a realistic case
study involving growing sugarbeets on 5-20 acres (fertilizer intensive crop) in
either my own country or my neighbouring country. This study will involve
insights into related routines and methods for growing sugarbeets, so that I may
potentially pass the scrutiny for any fertilizer-store clerk.
End note. Foxit PDF works but is a semi-crappy and relatively unstable software.
However, I was unwilling to budget more time to research better “PDF Rewriter
software”.
Military equipment should be selected based upon the nature of the operation.
The weapons you end up with are often not what you would want, and therefore the
best must be made of what is available for their use at a given time.
However, you will make every attempt to acquire the absolute best equipment. You
will rely on your equipment to keep you alive long enough to accomplish your
objectives so do spend the necessary time to acquire solid gear.
Optimal equipment for urban operations:
Offensive/defensive weapons
- HK416 assault rifle with “redpoint” optics (4 extra long clips)
Alternatively: any assault rifle (AK 47 etc.). Try to aquire a modern weapon
with anti recoil functionality.
- Glock handgun with silencer and laser (2-4 extra long clips)
- 3 splint grenades
- 1-2 shock grenade
- 2 x arm defensive devices (knives)
- Gas mask
Ammo (clip administration)
Assault rifle ammo: 1 armour penetration round, 1 dumdum round (ratio 1/1)
Handgun ammo: 1 armour penetration round, 1 dumdum round (ratio 1/1)
You are likely to face armoured agents (similar armour to yourself) so your
primary weapon should have armour penetration rounds. Lead or other weak alloy
projectiles will not be optimal. It will be very difficult to aquire some of
this equipment but see logistics chapter for specific advice.
Body armour
-
Ballistic Neck Protector
-
Ballistic Helmet/Face Shield (with 1,5-2 cm thick ballistic visor)
-
Ballistic Vest (upgraded version)
-
Consider using leg armour (you may have to create it yourself)
-
Consider using additional armour as long as it doesn’t affect your mobility too
much.
Armour with rigid panels provides superior protection. Top-grade SWAT vests are
with steel or ceramic panels and can withstand armour-piercing handgun and rifle
bullets. They weigh more than 20 kg and are more uncomfortable than many other
variants so you will rely on scooter/car for transportation.
There are three certified levels of body armour. The most commonly worn,
Level IIA, offers realistic
protection against all .22, .25, .32, .380, and .38, calibre handgun ammunition,
against most 9mm, .357 Magnum, .40 S&W, .45 ACP and .44 Magnum handgun
ammunition and against 000 buck shotgun pellets. Level
II and Level
IIIA armour protects from even greater threats including 12 gauge shotgun
slugs and the "hottest" .44 Magnum rounds.
Defensive bulletproof shield
Try to aquire a small police version shield. If unable to aquire it on the
market, you may create one yourself if you can provide the materials. An optimal
size for our purpose (and provided you have leg armour) would be any size from
50 x 50 to 70 x 70 cm, although most shields on the market are larger. You may
have to re-equip with handles, a carrying strap (so you may carry it on your
back), police insignia, one or two 10 cm spikes and/or razorblades on the front
of the shield (primarily as a deterrent to prevent people from jumping you from
behind). The 2 handles should optimally be designed in such a fashion that it
stabilises the shield when held by one hand (one handle in the centre), with a
second handle at the right side of the centre to reinforce with other hand if
you are under heavy fire. A shield like this is excellent when employing a TotM
manoeuvre (storming a flank if you are surrounded/a thrust moving forward to
enemy location, usually a system protector position behind an armoured police
vehicle). The shield is very effective when used in such a context. The weight
should not exceed 5 kilograms. Optimally, the shield should have a small window
to look through made of defensive glass/plastic. The rest of the shield is
usually made from a special type of metal or other bullet proof material. When
travelling between two positions, the shield is mounted on your back and only
used if approached by more than one armed system protector (police). The shield
is quite effective as the system protector bullets, as used in a majority of
Western European countries (9 mm lead often from MP5 type weapons), cannot
penetrate it.
Armour piercing rounds
16 Kozap bullets are the world's hardest 9 mm armour-piercing handgun
projectiles. Teflon bullets blast through most Police Vests.
The hard brass bullets cause exceptional wear on handgun barrels, a problem
combated by coating the bullets with Teflon. The Teflon coating does nothing to
improve penetration; it simply reduced damage to the gun barrel.
Conventional bullets, made primarily from lead, are often ineffective against
hard targets especially when fired at handgun velocities.
As for assault rifle ammunition, standard ammo will easily penetrate the most
commonly worn protective vests. However, Teflon coated brass bullets are better.
Melee weapon
You should use a normal combat knife and mount a bayonet on your primary weapon
(assault weapon). You can also consider getting/building a more advanced
defensive device.
There are currently no efficient melee weapons on the market designed for solo
urban warfare. A knife will have little value if you are jumped by two
individuals, one grabbing your arms and one knocking you down.
A suggestion could be to build and equip razor sharp spikes on your arms (from
your wrists up to your elbows). This will transform your arms to a potentially
lethal melee weapon and will make it a lot harder for individuals to jump you
(or may act as a deterrent). Keep in mind that you have to make the devices
small enough so that they do not make your arms “bulky” or in other ways
significantly limit your mobility or precision when switching to/equipping or
using your primary weapons.
Knights Templar’s guide to ballistic armour/body armour, sewing including a
step-by-step guide to construct “Loki’s Armour”
During my early youth while attending Smestad primary school in Oslo, Norway; I
remember being forced to complete mandatory knitting and sewing courses. These
courses were first implemented in various Western European countries as a result
of Marxist revolution which started all the way back in the 1930s but had its
climax around 1968. These mandatory knitting and sewing courses were implemented
with the goal of deliberately contribute to feminise European boys in their
insane quest to attempt to create the Marxist utopia consisting of “true
equality between the sexes”. I remember I dreaded these courses as it felt very
unnatural and was a complete waste of time. In retrospect, however, I am
grateful for having received this insight into sewing and stitching as this
knowledge is an essential skill when constructing and assembling modern
ballistic armour… It is quite ironic and even hilarious when reflecting on the
fact that a skill which was intended to feminize European boys can and will in
fact be used to re-implement the patriarchy by overthrowing the Western European
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist regimes.
The
various Conservative Revolutionary Movements in Europe have since WW2 expressed
their desire to acquire the knowledge on how to easily construct superior
ballistic armour which could rival or even prove to become up to 100% more
effective than the armour worn by system protectors/multiculturalist police
forces. However, several obstacles have been put in place by the EUSSR
authorities making it difficult to purchase the quality goods offered to
national police forces and national militaries. When trying to order a military
grade vest with collar, arm and groin protectors (DAPS etc) with military grade
ESAPI plates you will often find out that you need special permits and that you
need to document that you are working for official law enforcement or working
for your official national military forces. When I first started my “armour
research and acquisition phase” three months ago I found out the hard way that
you need special permits to buy military grade armour from EU stores. Certain
vests were indeed available but not the vests I wanted. Secondly, I wanted to be
very careful and avoid ordering products from my own country as my national
intelligence agency can easily check and cross reference purchase orders from
the limited number of vendors selling ballistic armour. Secondly, buying from US
stores proved to be futile as all ballistic armour is restricted for export. The
stores will simply refuse to ship to Europe as they are prohibited by US law.
In any case; the internet truly transformed the market for acquisition of any
imaginable product which has resulted in a scenario where ANYONE now has quick
and easy access to suppliers worldwide. Yet, the actual step-by-step blueprint
on how to construct this armour has been a secret for years or kept within
closed networks: until this day…
PCCTS, Knights Templar has created a blueprints and an acquisition list for
heavy amour specifically designed for the Conservative Revolutionary Movements
in Europe. These mission specific armour systems are especially designed to
counter: counter-terrorism forces/SWAT teams and other types of system
protectors of various Western European countries. I will present a step-by-step
guide on how to construct this superior armour with a detailed list of specific
parts, materials and suppliers.
Operatives of various Conservative Revolutionary Movements in Europe have for a
long time had challenges when attempting to order “various armour kits” from
established armour suppliers and large internet stores due to the fact that the
best armour is reserved for individuals that can provide law
enforcement/military documentation. Conservative Revolutionaries have often been
limited to worthless level II armour vests, which is only suited to protect
against weak 22 caliber rounds.
I will now show you exactly how to bypass the restrictions by basically setting
up your own little one man-factory with the capability of constructing a
superior set of body armour which offers up to 90% frontal coverage (level IIIA
to IV protection) and 60-70% backside coverage.
I will present a guide to the medium weight version (15 kg gear all included)
and to the heavy weight version (30 kg gear all included), depending on
strength, agility and your general physical condition and the mission specific
requirement.
I coined the armour “Lokis Armour” from the Norse God of Deception as it’s
specifically designed to bypass current armour restrictions and to counter;
counter-terrorism system protectors working for the multiculturalist regimes.
Creating Lokis Armour System (heavyweight version) – 27 kg
Figure 1
illustrates SWAT armour (Special Weapons and Ammunitions Team) and its
vulnerabilies when facing a Justiciar Knight with Lokis Armour (figure
2). Red indicate areas on the body with NO protection, yellow indicate
vulnerable areas (soft armour is vulnerable to assault rifle fire), light green
indicate protected areas (level IIIA with anti trauma protection should be able
to withstand limited MP5 fire) while darkgreen indicate safe areas.
This is a guide to acquire/create superior ballistic armour with up to 90%
frontal level IIIA to level IV coverage and 60-70% level IIIA to level IV back
coverage.
This custom made/designed and partially improvised armour, also known as Lokis
Armour consists of various parts (bought from multiple suppliers and brands or
created from base materials) which are finally put together to form the best and
most superior body armour available today.
-
Provides 90% level IIIA ballistic protection frontal coverage, 60-70% back
coverage.
-
Provides 60% level III ballistic
protection frontal coverage, 30% back coverage.
-
Provides 40% level IV ballistic protection frontal coverage, 30% back coverage.
Note, to dramatically decrease weight and create a light weight version of Lokis
armour just ignore the chest rig with the 4 ESAPI plates (total weight of 13
kg). By doing this, your armour (lightweight version of Lokis armour) will weigh
14 kg. If you are going for the lightweight version you should seriously
consider using your Damascus FX1, Flexforce chestpiece (take of the hard shells
though) to provide anti-blunt trauma protection (in which case you must buy a
vest in size XL or higher so that you can fit the FX1 chest piece under your
vest.
If you are unable to buy military grade armour kits, like I was, then I would
highly recommend choosing the strategy I chose. Simply buy a military grade vest
with as much level IIIA coverage as possible like the IDF official vest.

30 kg. Obviously, for a majority of phase 1 operations we rely on mobility and
speed and should never exceed 30 kg. On certain more “static” missions however,
more armour should be considered.
Complete Lokis Armour is heavy indeed but don’t forget that as a Justiciar
Knight you have trained for months for one single mission. In addition a
Justiciar Knight should always be in the middle of a steroid cycle and take an
ECA stack capsule 20 minutes prior to the initiation of the mission (ephedrine,
caffeine, aspirin stack) which increases our strength and agility by 50-100% for
2 hours. A Justiciar Knight is thus better prepared than even the most hardcore
SWAT operator in a majority of ways.
-
We select the battleground
-
We select the time of the battle
-
We have the element of surprice
-
We have superior armour
-
We have superior weaponry
-
We are more motivated
-
We are prepared to die in order to complete the operation
No system protector has a chance, at short notice, to match these odds.
However, Lokis Armour alone is still limited at best. You can defeat small
flanks of 1-3 system protectors. Nevertheless, keep in mind that you have to
avoid being overwhelmed at all costs. Lokis Armour is ONLY superior when
combined with high mobility. If you allow the system protectors to deploy
snipers or send in a SWAT squad of more than 4 you will have little chance to
survive the encounter so stay on the move and focus on meeting your time table.
As long as you follow your time table to the second, the system protectors will
not have time to deploy snipers or a SWAT team to stop you (organizing a SWAT
team will take up to 30 minutes depending on various factors), thus you will
only have to worry about “low threat system protectors”.
Always remember:
-
We are stronger and more agile due to biological enhancers
-
We have better and more powerful weapons (they are often limited to MP5)
-
We have better and more powerful ammunition (they use lead, we use AP)
-
We have superior armour
-
We have better morale and are more motivated to achieve our objective (we are
fighting to prevent the genocide of Europeans and of European culture (through
multiculturalism coupled with Islamic demographic warfare), while they are
“protecting a rotten, non-sustainable Marxist system. They are thus in fact
protecting the Islamic colonisation of Western Europe and its traitorous
category A and B facilitators”.
Terminology:
ESAPI = Enhanced Small Arms Protective Inserts (frontal/back ceramic plates)
ESBI = Enhanced Side Ballistic Inserts (side ceramic plates)
DAPs = Deltoid and Axillary Protectors (deltoid=biceps/arm, axillary=under
arm/arm pit).
Know your limits - How much can a soldier carry?
7 days march: With ammo, rations, and water, each soldier carried well over 45
kg of gear. After seven days of constant operations, the effects of that weight
are showing. Even the fittest of the platoon are hollow-eyed with fatigue.
Physical training reduces that rate, but does not eliminate it. Carrying too
much weight accelerates exhaustion.
Observation: The average rifle platoon soldier's load is 41 kg. Cold weather
platoon average is 46 kg.
Typically, each soldier is wearing or carrying at least load-bearing equipment
(LBE), Kevlar helmet, weapon, and rucksack or assault pack. This average does
not include battle dress uniforms (BDUs), T-shirts, socks, underwear, and boots.
The average warm weather soldier's load is 40 kg. During the summer months, the
soldier's load is more manageable. The need for "Hawk gear" (often 9 kg) goes
away. However, much of that reduction is offset by the need to carry more water.
As much as 75 percent of soldiers carry "camel-bak" water pouches in addition to
their canteens. Once again, BDUs, T-shirts, socks, underwear, and boots are not
included in these weights.
Why do leaders and soldiers consistently overload themselves?
That's a very good question and it has hampered light infantry operations for
years. Load-bearing equipment, designed as a combat harness, goes back for
hundreds of years. Everything else; packs, rucksacks, and extra water -- is by
definition comfort items added on top of the combat load.
Those comfort items may make a soldier
comfortably dead if he is too tired to function. Two of the biggest factors
relating to soldier's load are:
1. Tailoring the load to the mission.
2. Soldier confidence
in the logistical system.
Tailoring the load for a Justiciar Knight
Most people have seen the movie Platoon, where the squad leader in Vietnam
reached into new guy Charlie Sheen's rucksack and dumped unnecessary equipment.
Justiciar Knights need to do the same thing: performing good pre-combat
inspections (PCIs). The packing list should be tailored to the mission at hand,
with all the extras and "nice-to-have" items eliminated.
Determing a Justiciar Knights load is a critical task. The Knight cannot afford
to carry unnecessary equipment into the battle. Every contingency cannot be
covered. The primary consideration is
not how much a soldier can carry, but how much he can carry without impaired
combat effectiveness.
The official military manual states that the soldier's combat load should not
exceed 27 kg. That limit combines the fighting load -- LBE, kevlar, weapon, and
magazines with ammo weighing about 17 kg -- and the approach march load rucksack
and selected items at 10 kg. The remaining equipment and materials needed for a
sustained combat operation must be placed in forward caches prior to the mission
at pre-defined locations.
The bottom line: A Justiciar Knight needs a packing list that makes sense.
Carry what is required for mission accomplishment, but allow a minimum of
comfort items. There are four configurations with this type of packing list and
load:
Fighting load - Only what is worn = 17 kg
Fighting light - Worn plus the assault pack = 27 kg
Approach march - Worn plus the rucksack = 33 kg
Everything - Worn plus the rucksack and assault pack = 43 kg
Largest threat when overloading:
heat injury and fatigue.
Conclusion: Common sense IS NOT commonly used! Be uncommon and use yours!
Consider the risk versus gain aspects of combat loading. If you are being
overloaded and you collapse from the weight of comfort items, you may not even
reach the objective. By overloading yourself with comfort-related items, you are
in effect expending yourself before you have the opportunity to achieve the
mission.
For Canadian infantry in Afghanistan the average weight is 50 kg including
mission-specific equipment
Current average load numbers are 10% higher compared to WW2 statistics where a
BAR Gunner carried 45 kg while the average rifleman carried 37 kg.
A fighting load is everything worn or carried except a rucksack and should be
held to less than 22 kg, according to official manual for foot marches. The next
level, approach march load, adds a light rucksack and should not exceed 32 kg.
In the worst-case scenario, emergency approach march loads require a larger
rucksack, raising the total weight to 54-67 kg.
How much ammo does a soldier bring to a battle?
He should bring a total of two ammo pouches with room for 6 banana clips and one
in his rifle so a total of 7 banana clips. In addition he should bring 4 clips
for his pistol. Some carry more; 8 mags for the assault rifle and 4 pistol mags.
Grenades: 4 smoke/splint/flash are included in addition.
Many Afghanistan riflemen carries 7-10 magazines depending on the mission.
A Justiciar Knights introduction to ballistic armour
Quality mil spec armour with multi hit capabilities is just as important as
weapons to a Justiciar Knight. If you lack armour you may be neutralized with a
single bullet as the blunt trauma caused by the bullet mushrooming inside of you
is likely to literally paralyze even the most athletic body. Still, conservative
revolutionaries – urban guerillas continue to ignore the armour aspects of
warfare. Based on the nature of your operation, you may need to use mil spec
overt (visible) armour while on other missions, where mobility is crucial,
covert (hidden) or no armour at all is the preferred aproach. As a general rule,
you should not wear more than 30 kg of armour at any given time as the weight
will severely prevent you from moving properly. However, if you train hard and
use a suitable steroid cycle with the intention to wear up to 30 kg of armour,
covering 80-90% of your frontal body, you will learn that superior body armour
has its benefits and may often outweigh the mobility issues for certain
operations.
A ballistic item, often referred to as a bullet proof or bullet resistant item,
is usually an item of protective clothing that absorbs the impact from firearm
projectiles and shrapnel fragments from explosions. This protection is usually
worn for the upper body but can be applied anywhere for protection. There are
two primary types of armour: soft items (usually Kevlar fabric) and hard items
(often ceramic/steel plates). Soft items are usually constructed by placing
several layers of ballistic Kevlar fabric on top of eachother which is then sewn
inside a “soft pouch” made from a thin/ultra low weight layer of nylon ripstop,
polyester, cotton or a similar material. This pouch is placed in an outer shell
pouch which is often constructed from tougher mil spec cordura nylon or similar
fabrics (500-1000 denimer nylon, mil spec). The more layers applied the better
protection is offered but more layers will obviously increase the weight of the
item. All armour above level IIIA is made from hard armour: ceramic, steel or
dyneema plates etc. The reasoning for this is the following; while soft armour
will stop most handgun bullets from entering your body, the blunt trauma caused
by even higher calibers when hit is likely to cause massive damage to your body
(think of it as being hit by a big sledge hammer) which may cause internal
bleeding subsequent death. As such; hard armour can and should be worn in
combination with soft armour to increase protection. Soft/hard armour combo is
now common for international forces in Afghanistan and elsewhere and is often
used by SWAT operators in most Western countries.
Using composite armour in combination with soft armour
Certain companies offer a flexible composite material which is normally used for
applying ballistic properties in car doors and alternative stationary sources in
need of ballistic protection. However, you may use these flexible plates in
combination with conventional armour systems which often only covers the torso
and often ignores the lower arm, upper legs, knees, shins and boots. One option
of using this material is to basically cut the composite plate (0,7 cm thick) in
the desired shape and place them in the pouch you have sewn (2 knee pouches, 2
shin pouches, 2 upper leg pouches, 2 boot pouches and 2 lower arm pouches). You
then apply either adhesive (or sew) hook & loop (Velcro) on each piece in order
to properly fasten/equip each peace to your body. Alternatively, additional
Velcro or nylon straps may be applied in order to attach each peace to other
parts of your armour to create a complete armour system which covers up to 95%
of your frontal body and up to 75% of your back. Obviously, I have not been able
to field test this system which I refer to as Lokis Armour, although it is now
completed. Lokis Armour set is basically a “Frankenstein-set” created from
various armour systems. Certain pieces needed some adjustment by adding
additional hook-loop adhesive strips in order to properly attach to other
modules. F example; the IDF armour doesn’t fit in combination to Interceptor
parts, which again doesn’t fit with the Point Blank parts etc. But with nylon
straps, hook & loop bands, a few fastening items and some crazy sewing skills,
everything is possible:-)
In order to maximize the effectiveness of soft armour, trauma plates may be
added which will mitigate the blunt force (blunt trauma) of the projectile. Soft
armour may be worn on top of a modern riot suit (constructed to resist blunt
trauma) in order to increase the effectiveness and prevent damage caused by
blunt trauma. I would highly recommend the FlexForce FX1 riot suit from Damascus
in this regard as it is compact enough to fit under soft body armour, yet holds
the anti-trauma qualities required to withstand multiple hits when worn in
combination with soft and hard armour. I have not had the chance to field test
this option though (nor have I seen any reports confirming my theory) but
theoretically it should offer excellent protection when worn together.
Blunt trauma suits are rarely used by military or SWAT forces in combination
with their ballistic armour as the suits are relatively bulky and heavy (around
4-7 kg). Very few people have the required strength and agility to wear a full
blunt trauma suit (riot suit), soft armour and hard armour – in addition to
conventional tactical gear, weapons etc. Nevertheless, Justiciar Knights may
prove to become that exception as we are 40-100% stronger providing we take full
advantage of the steroid cycle and ECA stack combination during our operation.
For this purpose, it is essential that all Justiciar Knights adjusts their
training sessions to build up experience for wearing this equipment and take
appropriate measures to simulate 1-2 hour “fitness walks/march walks”. These
march walks will include up to 30-40 kg load which is the total weight of the
described Lokis Armour, weapons, ammo and other equipment).

Part 1 - Ballistic vest with level IIIA soft armour
Soft armour: kevlar or similar fabric
Difficulty level to create: HARD (it is suggested that you buy this item)
A ballistic vest comes in many shapes and forms. Some are created for covert
(concealed) use, others for overt (visible) use. Obviously, overt ballistic
armour is created for “certain” confrontation where you do not care if others
identity the fact that you are wearing armour, while covert armour is worn when
it is essential to hide the fact that you are wearing armour, for tactical
reasons.
In any case, a solid level IIIA vest is and will be the backbone of your “armour
system”.
Search words:
ballistic vest, bullet resistant vest, bullet proof vest, tactical vest, assault
vest)
Suppliers:
European-, US-, Israeli- or Chinese companies.
Restrictions:
certain countries have implemented restrictions relating to ownership of armour
such as Italy and Australia (and the US for convicted criminals). It is likely
that several countries will implement bans on the ownership of armour in the
future in an effort to halt conservative freedom fighters or Islamic terrorists.
However, you can still buy or import suitable covert or military grade ballistic
vest in more or less all European countries.
How to create a military grade ballistic vest - requirement: level IIIA soft
armour (30-34 thin layers of Kevlar fabric sewn in an internal pocket (or 12-15
thick Kevlar layers), which is then put inside the exterior cordura nylon
“shell/pouch”) with pockets for level III to IV SAPI/ESAPI plates – size M to XL
and optimally two side pockets for ESBI plates (side plates 10 x 15 cm usually).
I would not recommend creating your own military grade ballistic vest due to the
fact that they are readily available with few restrictions. However, I will
include a schematic on how to cut Kevlar, and which cutting form you can use. I
prefer vests with maximum coverage surface and which contains extra Kevlar
layers (34+) so I ended up buying the IDF vest which offers excellent coverage.
It even adds coverage for neck, axillary (arm pit) and offers extra protection
above your frontal ESAPI plate. The weight is 4,5 kg. I added an extra modular
plate carrier (2 frontal and 2 for side) with attachments for molle/modular
pouches.
Part 2 - Ballistic vest – Armour plates (2 ESAPI plates, front back, 2 side
plates)
Hard armour
Difficulty level to create: HARD (it is suggested that you buy this item)
Coverage area: covers your most essential inner organs and the most likely place
to be targeted. The Small Arms Protective Insert (SAPI) is a ceramic plate
fielded by the US military. It was first used in the Interceptor body armor, a
ballistic vest. It is now also used in the Improved Outer Tactical Vest as well
as the Modular Tactical Vest, in addition to commercially available "plate
carriers". The kevlar Interceptor vest itself is designed to stop projectiles up
to and including 9x19mm Parabellum submachine gun rounds, in addition to
fragmentation. To protect against higher velocity rifle rounds, SAPI plates are
needed.
Armour plates are always hard plates made from either hardened steel, ceramic or
the newer and lighter dyneema plates.
Sizes and weights
SAPI plates meant for body armor come in front and back plates which are
identical and smaller side plates. The front and back plates come in five sizes.
Their dimensions are the following:
Front and back SAPI plates:
* Extra Small - 1.27
kg (2.8 lb) | 184 x 292 mm (7¼ x 11½ in)
* Small - 1.59 kg (3.5
lb) | 222 x 298 mm (8¾ x 11¾ in)
* Medium - 1.82 kg (4.0 lb) | 241 x 318 mm (9½ x 12½ in)
* Large - 2.09 kg (4.6 lb) | 260 x 337 mm (10⅛ x 13¼ in)
* Extra Large 2.40 kg
(5.3 lb) | 280 x 356 mm (11 x 14 in)
ESAPI
plates are the same size but slightly greater in weight.
* Extra Small - 1.70
kg (3.75 lb)
* Small - 2.08 kg
(4.60 lb)
* Medium - 2.50 kg (5.50
lb)
* Large - 2.85 kg
(6.30 lb)
* Extra Large - 3.25
kg (7.20 lb)
Torso side plates are as follows:
* 1 kg (2.3 lb) | 150
x 200 mm (6 x 8 in)
Materials and capabilities
The standard plate for the Interceptor body armor is made of boron carbide or
silicon carbide ceramic. New ESAPI plates are also made of boron carbide. A SAPI
is able to stop up to three rifle bullets of a caliber up to 7.62x51mm NATO M80
ball and of a muzzle velocity up to 2,750 ft/s (840 m/s). The ceramic plate is
backed with a shield made of Spectra, a material up to 40% stronger than Kevlar.
The standard plates are rated as NIJ III when used alone and NIJ IV when backed
by the soft armor of the OTV.
Physics
The mechanism of effect lies in absorbing and dissipating the projectile's
kinetic energy in local shattering of the ceramic plate and blunting the bullet
material on the hard ceramic. The Spectra backing then spreads the energy of the
impact to larger area and stops the fragments, preventing injury to the wearer.
The same principle is used for the ceramic tiles used for the armored cockpits
of some military airplanes, and the anti-spallation liners used in modern
armored personnel carriers.
How to aquire SAPI/ESAPI plates
I would not recommend creating your own ESAPI plates unless you have access to
hardened steel plates. Forget about ordering armour from US companies as all US
companies have strict export restrictions even to other NATO countries. Your
best bet of acquiring ESAPI plates are purchasing them from European, Israeli or
Chinese companies. They are readily available online as they are considered
“legal armour components” and not “illegal military grade armour”.
Alternatively, you may have a US friend buy them for you or travel to the US
yourself, use a proxy buyer and physically smuggle them to Europe yourself. You
will get a fine if caught but nothing more as far as I know. So, what type of
material do you go for? Steel is obviously the heaviest of materials but is
superior when it comes to multi-hit capabilities. The newer generation SAPI
ceramic is also a good alternative although it is difficult to aquire ESAPI
plates especially in size XL. I was “lucky” and managed to order mine of Ebay
(in despite of the Ebay ban on mil spec body armour) after only 2 months of
monitoring. Ebay is not the best place to look as it is mostly civilian body
armour available. But now and then, some inexperienced sellers simply make a
mistake and list high grade mil spec armour and some times, Ebay is unable to
stop the auction in time, which allows you to “swoop in and pick it up” with a
winning bid. I finally managed to buy 2000 USD worth of plates, ESAPI XL level
IV and a similar set of ESBI (side plates) for only 600 Euro after monitoring
Ebay closely for 3 months! Luck favours the dedicated and patient so never give
up!;) My armour acquisition phase lasted 3-4 months and it took time to learn
the proper search words and techniques in order to successfully locate the right
suppliers. Ill share my suppliers in another chapter.

Part 3 - Ballistic helmet level IIIA with ballistic level IIIA visor (face
shield)
Hard armour: composite helmet + visor; the visor is made of 2-3 cm thick
polycarbonate plastic (may also be known under the brand name; lexan.
Difficulty level to create: HARD (it is suggested that you buy this item)
Coverage area: head and face. This will be the hardest component of your armour
system to aquire (not the helmet but the visor). Several European suppliers sell
it but it is more or less always limited to law enforcement agencies or the
military. European suppliers will usually ask for various documentation showing
that you are a police officer. I managed to order one of these helmets from an
Israeli company.
It is more or less impossible for you to create a ballistic visor so start
looking for those suppliers.
Search terms: ballistic vizor (visor), ballistic face shield, ballistic helmet,

Part 4 – Ballistic Deltoid Protectors (1 of 2 pieces of the DAPS system)
Soft armour: layers of Kevlar or similar fabric
Difficulty level to create: EASY (it is suggested that you create these as they
are relatively hard to acquire on the open market)
These two pieces protect your deltoids (upper arms) and are attached to your
vest. I managed to buy two from an American Ebay seller which mistakenly listed
them for international sale. In any case; “deltoid protector pouches”, without
the soft armour inserts (34 layers of Kevlar fabric) is readily available which
makes creating these a simple task. Simply buy enough ballistic Kevlar fabric,
strong Kevlar fabric scissors and start cutting. When done with the 34 (15)
layers, insert them in the interior pouch, which then is inserted in the
exterior pouch which is made from the harder 500-1000 denimer cordura nylon
fabric. If you are unable to order these premade exterior pouches (without the
actual soft armour inserts) you can still sew your own. Just order mil spec
cordura nylon (or any tough nylon fabric) from any supplier and start sewing.
You will need nylon straps with hook and loop material (Velcro). Sew the hook
and loop material on to the nylon strap, which then allows you to properly use
the deltoid protectors. Also, see my illustration/blue print and measurements.
Search terms: DAPS, deltoid protector, ballistic arm protector etc.
Aproximate cost: 60-120 Euro
Hours of labour required: 7 full hours of cutting/sewing/dying (not including
time it takes to order Kevlar fabric and other material)
Part 5 – Ballistic Axillary Protectors (2 of 2 pieces of the DAPS system)
Soft armour: layers of Kevlar or similar fabric
Difficulty level to create: EASY (it is suggested that you create these as they
are relatively hard to acquire on the open market)
Coverage area: From your side ESBI plates up to your armpit. As with part 1;
these are hard to acquire, but very easy to create. Simply follow the above
steps and use the axillary illustration/blue print and measurements. Also,
depending on your vest, you don’t necessarily need additional axillary
protectors. A majority of vests however offer little protection in the armpit
area above your ESBI plates.
Aproximate cost: 60-120 Euro
Hours of labour required: 7 full hours of cutting/sewing/dying (not including
time it takes to order Kevlar fabric and other material)
Part 6 – Ballistic Groin protector
Soft or hard armour: layers of Kevlar or similar fabric, can also be made from
flexible kevlar composite plates (level IIIA)
Difficulty level to create: EASY (it is suggested that you create these as they
are relatively hard to acquire on the open market)
Coverage area: lower stomach and groin, below your vest. As with the DAPs, these
are hard to acquire, but very easy to create. Simply follow the above steps and
use the groin illustration/blue print and measurements.
Aproximate cost: 60-120 Euro
Hours of labour required: 4 full hours of cutting/sewing/dying (not including
the time it takes to order Kevlar fabric and other material)
Part 4 – Ballistic Neck protector
Soft/hard armour: layers of Kevlar or similar fabric, can also be made from
flexible kevlar composite plates (level IIIA)
Difficulty level to create: EASY (it is suggested that you create these as they
are relatively hard to acquire on the open market)
Coverage area: neck – front/back. Some vests like the IDF vest has a neck
protector already implemented in the system while many European and US vests,
especially civilian vests lack a neck protector or is based on a modular system
where a neck protector comes as a modular piece and attaches with hook/loop or
buttons. As with the DAPS and the groin protector, these are hard to acquire for
“civilians”, but very easy to create. Simply follow the above steps and use the
neck illustration/blue print and measurements.
Aproximate cost: 30-80 Euro
Hours of labour required: 4 full hours of cutting/sewing/dying (not including
time it takes to order Kevlar fabric and other material)
Part 5 -
Ballistic Leg Protectors (3 pieces:
1: upper leg, 2: knee and shin, 3: boot)
Hard/soft armour: upper leg plates and shin plates should be made from flexible
kevlar composite plates (lvl IIIA) and applied on top of your Damascus FX1 –
Flexforce plastic plates (see blueprint). The knee and boot protectors should be
made from Kevlar fabric (14-35 layers depending on thick or thin Kevlar)
Requirement: Damascus FX1 – Flexforce (riot gear to provide blunt trauma
protection and a base/fundament for applying these parts)
Difficulty level to create: EASY (it is suggested that you create these as they
are not possible to acquire on the open market. Please see my prototype
blueprints).
Coverage area: includes upper leg protector, knee protector, shin protector
(lower leg) and boot protector.
There are currently no available Ballistic Leg Protectors on the market, neither
for military personnel nor for civilian use. As a result, I have designed
blueprints for make-it-yourself modular Ballistic Leg Protectors covering the
upper leg, knee, shin and boot.
What you should do is to buy a complete riot suit, preferably the Damascus FX-1
FlexForce and use some of the pieces as a body armour (anti- blunt trauma) base.
You then basically do one of two things:
Alternative 1: Buy flexible ballistic panels (level IIIA), readily available at
certain suppliers and cut pieces out of the panels the same size as the hard
plastic on the riot suits. You can either apply/glue hook/loop material on the
plastic hard shells and simply apply the flexible panels on to these shells.
Alternative 2: You can sew pouches the same size as the plastic hard shells and
apply the pouches with either hook/loop/Velcro material and/or nylon straps with
hook/loop/Velcro material. You insert interior pouches into these outer pouches
containing Kevlar inserts (consisting of 34 (15) layers of ballistic Kevlar
fabric).
Follow the same principle on all the modular pieces (1: upper leg, 2: knee and
shin, 3: boot). I decided to use the flexible ballistic panels for the upper leg
and shin, while using Kevlar on the knee pad and boot.
Aproximate cost for all modular pieces: 700-1700 Euro (a large flexible
ballistic panel, level IIIA costs 700 USD, 1 yard of ballistic Kevlar fabric
costs 35 USD (1050 for 30 layers x 1 yard, although you get considerable rebates
when buying that much, and an even bigger discount if you purchase a full roll
of ballistic Kevlar fabric). I chose to buy fabric from a US company instead of
a European or Chinese one btw. A Damascus FX-1 FlexForce riot gear costs 500
USD. See my suppliers for more info.
Hours of labour required: 10-15 (not including time it takes to order Kevlar
fabric and other material)
Part 6 – Ballistic Arm Protectors
Hard armour: these consists of two parts for each arm and can be made from
flexible kevlar composite plates (lvl IIIA) and applied on top of your Damascus
FX1 – Flexforce lower arm protectors (see blueprint and remember to remove the
hard elbow and large plastic layer/shell as they are too bulky).
Requirement: Damascus FX1 – Flexforce (riot gear to provide blunt trauma
protection and a base/fundament for applying these parts)
Difficulty level to create: EASY (it is suggested that you create these as they
are not possible to acquire on the open market. Please see my prototype
blueprints).
Coverage area: from wrist to elbow.
Use the arm piece from your Damascus FX-1 FlexForce riot gear and simply apply
the pieces of flexible Kevlar composite as referred to on the blueprint. This
must be secured using hook/loop and nylon straps.
Aproximate cost: 30-50 Euro (if you have already paid for a riot gear system and
other materials).
Hours of labour required: 7
Part 7 – Ballistic shield (level III)
Hard armour: these consist of two kevlar composite panels, one piece of
polycarbonate plate (5 mm thick) and is basically screwed together using 8
screws.
Requirement: ballistic composite panel (2 pieces - 40 x 55 cm or whichever size
you desire + 1 piece of polycarbonate (plexiglass) in the same size)
Difficulty level to create: EASY (it is suggested that you create this item as
they are very hard to acquire on the open market. The ones available are quite
heavy and very expensive. The weight should not surpass 5 kg for a level III
shield with multihit capabilities.
Some ballistic shields are for sale to law enforcement officers/organisations.
Unfortunately, they are very strict and require documentation that you are an
official “system protector”.
These shields vary in weight but you can get them from 7-30 kg. They are quite
expensive and the most inexpensive item I was able to locate (weighing 7 kg)
costs 800 USD.
Fortunately for us, it is quite easy to create a suitable, low weight ballistic
shield. Simply use a part of the flexible ballistic composite plates/panel you
ordered (level IIIA) and cut the material in the appropriate size. I chose 55 cm
x 40 cm so it would fit my armour cache (Pelican 1620 case) which I am soon
going to dig down together with all my other armour before I start my “weapon
acquirement phase”.
When you have cut the 2 plates/panels (40x55 cm) and ordered your 5 mm
polycarbonate (PVC) plate from your nearest plastic-composite-supplier simply
drill holes and screw the three plates together with your polycarbonate plate
toward you. Create three nylon straps (2 pieces of 1 inch - 2 layers of nylon
straps sewn together (28 cm) and one piece of 2 inch – 2 layers sewn together
(35 cm). See blueprint template. You then apply the straps on the screws on the
backside of the shield and fasten with matrixes. Two of the straps will be
placed so that it will fit your arm while the last strap will be placed on the
lower right to work as a support strap/handle. You can also apply a padded
carrying strap so that you can hang the shield on your back while on the move.
Use adhesive hook and loop material on the front side to apply insignias etc.
and use a black, spirit based permanent marker for the metal colored screws and
other inconsistencies in color (shield should be black like all other armour).
Congratulations, you now have a descent and lightweight ballistic shield (level
III, 4 kg) with multi-hit capabilities for less than 100 Euro (50 Euro for
polycarbonate plate, 15 Euro for carrying strap, 10 Euro for screws/matrixes.
Not counting the 700 USD cost for the original ballistic panel and the fees for
the nylon straps). You may also apply razor sharp objects on it to act as a
deterrent or emblems according to your specific mission.
End note: I tried cutting the ballistic panel (into 11 pieces for the various
armour pieces) with my electric jig saw. My saw is of poor quality so I had to
go to a work shop (furniture cutter) to have it cut properly. This service cost
80 Euro. Be careful doing this as the cutting patterns would indicate that you
are creating ballistic armour pieces. In retrospect, I found out that I could
cut the ballistic panel by applying pressure and using sawing motions with very
sharp objects.

too clumpy anyways).
Size of armour fabric/material -
W: 51 cm, H: 23 cm
End note to sizing of pouches:
pouches should be +2 cm on each side of the above measurements for those pieces
which indicate “pouch”. Also, just skip the interior pouch altogether (an
internal pouch made of vinly is usually put inside the outher shell pouch
(cordura nylon) in order to easily take out the armour insert in cases where you
need to wash the outher shell (Iraq, Afghanistan duty involving a lot of sweat).
However, you will not use the equipment long enough to require any washing etc.
Keep all ballistic material AWAY from water though as it results in
disintegration of the material fabric structure and as such,weakens the
ballistic value over time.
Sewing tips: for those pieces requiring pouches;
it doesn’t hurt to cut the cordura nylon material in even larger sizes. Sew it
around the soft/hard armour inserts and just cut most of the excess material
with a scissor when you are done sewing. If you plan accordingly you should try
to take advantage of an electric sewing machine instead of a handheld sewing
machine as this will save you a lot of time. Also, try to acquire heavy duty
(thick) nylon thread that is coated with a sticky substance, which will help a
lot when sewing with a handheld, manual sewing machine. Always order black for
all materials. Try to plan your “armour creating phase” properly so that you
order all of the items combined.
Here are some tools/equipment/materials you will need:

need a lot more heavy duty thread)

Adjusting/custom fitting your armour
When
I started my armour acquisition phase I overestimated the weight and volume a
person can carry without severely hampering mobility and combat readiness. I
thought: “hey, I can wear 50 kg of armour, transforming me into a human tank as
long as I train hard enough and use a suitable steroid cycle”. Wrong… It is very
important that you try out your gear along the way and test it while on the move
to ensure that you are in fact able to move relatively comfortably in it for up
to two hours. Take a walk around your flat for 15-30 mins and ensure that the
items are in place after all types of bodily motions. You can add extra
fasteners like hook/loop/Velcro if necessary. Don’t be shy when it comes to
adhesive hook/loop strips (1 and/or 2 inches) and nylon straps (1 and/or 2
inches). I made several small miscalculations when planning/designing/creating
my armour system and you will be able to avoid these and similar pitfalls if you
follow this guide. I am certainly not a master armourer but I have managed to
learn a lot about armour structure and design techniques. However, there is
always room for improvement.
Miscalculation 1: I was unable to use the chest piece of the Damascus FX-1 as a
base anti-blunt trauma layer under my primary ballistic vest and my plate
carrier. The reason was that I had underestimated the weight, volume AND thus
the mobility disabling effects of these two vests combined. As a result it
simply became too bulky to apply and equipping the armour would have required
the assistance of a helper. My primary vest weighs 4,5 kg (no plates, only soft
armour) and my plate carrier vest weighs 13,5 kg (2 XL ESAPI plates level IV, 2
ESBI side plates level IV + plate carrier and various molle/modular attatchments
(pouches for 6 grenades – splint/smoke/flash, 1 back pouch for 1,5 litre
camelback, 1 medic pouch, 1 gas mask pouch, 3 other pouches).
Miscalculation 2: I miscalculated the weight that is practically possible to
wear for combat readiness. As a result, I had to discard two extra neck
protector pieces and a groin protector piece, in addition to materials gathered
for a hip piece (padded war belt with level IIIA ballistic armour.
Miscalculation 3: I underestimated the cutting power of my electric jig saw
which resulted in me having to have the ballistic panel pieces for my leg armour
and shield professionally cut at a work shop. You can prevent this by borrowing
or buying a more professional jig saw.
Mistake 4: not really a mistake, but I ordered a lot of material and 4 armour
pieces (two side plate carriers with soft armour and two neck protectors. In
addition, the Kevlar inserts in the deltoid and axillary protectors in addition
to the groin protector were pretty rotten and had to be replaced with new Kevlar
fabric (30 layers). Total price of the surplus/discarded goods were around 800
Euro.
Moving around in heavy armour – specific training required – marching/fitness
walk
You will quickly get an idea which of your muscles you will stress when moving
with so much armour. You should immediately begin specific strength training for
the purpose of moving for 1-2 hours in heavy armour (depending on your mission).
I originally though; “hey, why not fill all the molle/modular pouches with iron
bolts and just wear it under a poncho while taking a walk”... While the idea
isn’t bad, you should consider the fact that exercising outside with anything
resembling military related items may cause suspicion and a subsequent call to
your national intelligence agency. I ended up on a slightly different path with
my exercise schedule. After my first test cycle of danabol I had gained 9 kg of
muscles in only 6 weeks. The results where phenomenal to say the least. And this
was only with 3-4 days of bodybuilding per week. I then chose to start armour
training or so called march walk/fitness walk. I basically just bought two
backpacks (40-80 litre packs), one in front and one in the back. I had already
weighed my armour which totalled 18 kg frontal weight and 9 kg back weight. I
then basically just went to the nearest beach and gathered 50 kg of rocks and
placed 18 kg in the front pack and 9 kg in the back. It looks a bit silly but
shouldn’t cause any suspicion for the most part. I may add extra rocks as I
progress with my armour training programme. At the day of the operation I should
have acquired an approximate feel on how to move around in heavy armour due to
my simulation exercises.
Armour weight calculation and administration:
-
Myself: 91 kg (75 kg standard weight, + 3 kg of surplus fat (hey, chocolate is
good for morale!:P), + 5 kg of pre-steroid muscle mass + 9 kg of muscle mass
acquired from test steroid cycle last 4 weeks using danabol alone. And yes I
know: I would have managed to gain +5 kg of lean muscle mass if I had added test
prop to the DBOL… I may use it on the last cycle.)
-
Vest 1: 4,5 kg
-
Vest 2: 13,5 (with molle pouches and 2 ESAPI plates and 2 ESBI plates)
-
Helmet with visor: 3 kg
-
Deltoid protectors: 1 kg
-
Axillary protectors: 1 kg
-
Groin Protector: 0,5 kg
-
Leg armor: 2 kg (including upper leg, knees, shins, boot armour)
Total weight of armour: 25,5 kg
(Tip: just use your household weight when weighing your equipment, for low
calibration weights just wear the specified armour/gear and subtract your body
weight)
Additional items
-
Primary weapon with holographic sight + 3x flip-up magnifier + green laser: 4,5
kg
-
Secondary weapon with green laser: 0,7 kg
-
1,5 litre of water (in a camelbak water pouch): 1,5 kg
-
Mobile Ballistic Shield: 4-5 kg
-
6 x Banana clips 30 rounds - 5.56 or 7.65: 6 kg
-
4 x small clips 30 rounds – 9 mm for side arm: 2 kg
-
10 x Grenades (splint, smoke, flash), gas mask, medic supply etc: 4-5 kg
-
Base layers: boots, “skins” compression suit (leggings + long sleeve), boxer,
tactical gloves, socks: 1,2 kg
Total weight of additional items:
23,4-25,9 kg
Total weight of all items: 48,9-51,4 kg
Obviously, this is simply too much for me or for any one person to carry on most
tactical missions even if you are well trained and on steroids and ECA stack.
Some people are of course more fit than others and have the ability to carry
more without it impairing mobility too much. But as a general rule, you should
never carry more than 30 kg of equipment on you when combat ready and initiating
your operation. The optimal combat ready weight would be no more than 15 kg of
equipment.
Mobility and the element of surprise is the Justiciar Knights most important
asset so we must ensure that we are not impaired too much when it comes to
mobility.
Always remember that it will take the SWAT team 10-40 minutes to reach you.
Until then, you only have to face poorly equipped system protectors. So if
possible, try to divide your operation into several phases where you start out
with an acceptable amount of equipment and pick up some additional items from
another location (Starting point to pickup point 1, 2 and 3). Calculate so that
you know when to expect the SWAT team (probably not before pickup point 1 or
perhaps pickup point 2.
A good idea might be to start with limited equipment (3-4 banana clips, 1-3
grenades, no shield, no gas mask, and perhaps even no plates (Vest 2 -13,5 kg)
at all. As you progress (depending on the nature of your operation) you may
pickup this equipment later as you expect to encounter the SWAT operators at the
end of your course.
Important sites for body armour leads acquirement:
Alibaba.com is a great site for finding Chinese, Indian suppliers and other
suppliers from especially the second world countries. There are literally
hundreds of Chinese companies who has copied European body armour technology and
is selling them at a lower cost. Often, you will have to pose as a wholesale
importer which then orders “samples”. This is often the only choice as many
Chinese companies only offer wholesale (larger orders) and not retail (single
orders).
Ebay for bits and pieces.
Individual retail sites (Israeli sites are great) for other equipment. If you
have problems ordering online or want to take extra precaution simply visit a
country where mil spec body armour is readily available (US, Israel) and simply
find a proxy buyer. A guy you pay a fee to in order to purchase for you.
Miscalculation 1: After testing; I have concluded that DBOL can be
counterproductive to use for battle. The reason is that up to 50% of your weight
gain is water/liquid retention which does little for your strength and agility
and only adds more weight for you to “carry”. This can be countered by switching
DBOL as the primary steroid with f example testosterone propionate (test prop)
as you will only get a fraction of the water retention with the latter.
Alternatively, you may use Aromasin in combination with DBOL to suppress the
“bloat” (water retention). This will ensure that 80%+ of your gains are muscles
with minimal water retention. You can further reduce the “water-gain” by
limiting sodium (salt) and carb intake. Another option is to use DBOL for the
first 3 weeks and Winstrol for the last 3 weeks in order to get rid of the water
while still keeping your muscle gains. There are tens of various combinations
out there with multiple brands and types of steroids. Just find an option that
suits you. The important thing, after all, is to biologically enhance your
physique in order to ensure that you have the optimal chances to succeed in the
operation.

See this list of modern body armour components (modular tactical vest):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Modular_Tactical_Vest_components.jpg
A complete body armour system (often referred to as MTV – Modular Tactical Vest
or IOTV – Improved Outer Tactical Vest consists of some of the following parts
(listed after importance):
When establishing a paramilitary organization later on in phase 1 or phase 2
with a conventional command hierarchy it is advised that 1-2 “armourers” are
appointed and trained (by studying this guide) as it generally requires some
level of competence and experience to create/sew multiple sets of armour within
a reasonable time limit. I spent 4 months in my armour acquirement phase due to
the fact that I basically had to “re-invent” the wheel as I was unable to find
any proper step-by-step guides. With my current knowledge I could to the same in
just a few weeks and at a significantly lower cost. These trained armourers
(armour-tailorers) will be very valuable for any conservative revolutionary
movements.
Buying ballistic Kevlar fabric
There are several distributors across the world offering ballistic Kevlar
fabric. There are several types of fabric, thick and thin. The fabric used in
the Interceptor system (US military, Afghanistan/Iraq forces) consists of 30-34
layers of a very thin type of Kevlar fabric. I have been unable to confirm this
but I believe 12 layers of the “thicker” Kevlar is equivalent to level IIIA. I
was unable to acquire that specific fabric (thin version) but managed to find a
Chinese, a European and a US distributor of other brands. Other variations of
Kevlar fabric are considerably thicker than the Interceptor Kevlar and thus
require fewer layers to create level IIIA protection. Ill describe the fabric I
ended up purchasing (sold directly from the distributor or via the distributors
ebay account):
Seller: Infinity, site:
www.armorco.com
Kevlar® 29 Style 745 Bullet Resistant Fabric.
It is made from DuPont(TM) Aramid Yarn and woven into a fabric on weaving looms.
It is used primarily in the Safety & Personal Protection Markets. It can be
found and used in a number of personal protection applications including but not
limited to: Bullet Resistant Vests, Car Armor, Cockpit Door Armor, Bullet
Resistant Panels and many non-ballistic Industrial uses.
SPECIFICATION: Fabric Specs: Weight: 14oz. Sq.yd... Width: 50 inch width...
Denier: 3000... Weave: Plain... Thickness: 24.1 (mils) 0.61 (mm)... Breaking
Strength: Length & Width Directions( Length}: 1600 (lbf/in) (Width): 1800
(lbf/in)... Thread Count: 17 x 17
Kevlar can be sewn into multiple plies and is not needle resistant, it can be
glued using a polyurethane based glue, it can also be used with Epoxy resins and
vacuum bagged in laminating applications. KEVLAR FABRIC -
It is perfectly legal to own, possess, transport or ship Bullet Resistant
Kevlar fabric in all 50 U.S. States and the EU. As such; anyone can legally buy
ballistic Kevlar fabric and create/sew their own level IIIA armour.
End note: Obviously, it takes
multiple plies/layers of this fabric to make something bullet resistant. I
strongly suggest buying Kevlar Scissors from the same site as normal scissors
will not do the job properly.
I bought the following ballistic material from one supplier: infinityfrp.com or
their subsidiary: armorco.com (10 yards/9 meters of Kevlar fabric) and
infinitycomposites.com or their subsidiary: armorco.com (flexible level IIIA
Kevlar composite plate)
I bought 1 flexible composite plate with black rubber lamination measuring
aprox: 1,4 x 1,4 meters. I told them to cut it into 4 pieces in order to reduce
shipping cost from 600 to 150 USD. Price of the composite plate: aprox 700 USD.
I also bought 10 yards (35 USD per yard) of ballistic Kevlar fabric. You
actually get a lot more fabric than a square yard as the width of the fabric is
1,27 meters and is delivered on a roll. 8 yards was enough for 4 layers of DAPS
(deltoid protector + axillary protector) fortification/enhancement, ballistic
girdle/belt (protecting hips and butt - 12 layers), 2 knee protectors (14
layers) and 2 boot protectors (12 layers)
Dying nylon fabric (for dying camo colored ballistic outer pouches)
You will often find that you are only able to acquire camo colored items, in
which case you will have to dye the items black. I did the mistake of importing
“black spray-on dye” from the UK, which proved to be worthless. Keep in mind
that all body armour Kevlar hard shells/pouches are made of nylon, which do not
absorb normal water based fabric dye intended for cotton based fabric. You will
need to choose one of the two following options in order to dye nylon fabric:
1.
Buy specialized nylon die which is applied through hand wash or machine was
process. This process can be quite messy.
2.
Simply buy large permanent markers (spirit based) and order additional refill.
I chose option 2. And due to the fact that I failed to plan the dye phase
properly I ended up buying 12 large black permanent markers (spirit based). 12
markers was enough to dye 6 items (1 vest, 4 DAPS pieces, 2 axillary + 2 deltoid
protection outer pouches and a couple of other smaller pieces. 12 permanent
markers retail for 112 Euro. If you plan accordingly you only need to order 1
large black permanent marker + refill which will cost you 20 Euro.
Keep in mind that the items that are dyed will cause the items to smear ink on
your skin and other surfaces. This is quite annoying and a clear drawback when
using permanent markers for dying vs. more complex nylon dying techniques. The
result will be that you will have to wash of your skin and ruin a few
t-shirts/boxers each time you try on your armour system. If I knew the ink would
smear so much I would have spent more time researching the conventional nylon
dying technique.

Export restrictions on all body armour to Europe. The only alternative is to
travel there and buy the items yourself for personal export (Im not 100% sure
whether you need citizenship or not though). As noted, it’s illegal to export
body armour from the US to Europe but I can’t imagine that the fines will be
very high if caught by US customs. It is perfectly legal to import body armour
to Europe, Italy being the the only current exception to my knowledge.
General tips
Buy a solid level IIIA vest from one of the above stores (I would recommend the
IDF Official Army vest (Israel) as it offers superior coverage, including
neck/shoulders, and extra layers of Kevlar – IIIA+) and create the rest of the
items yourself, as you will have a hard time ordering them.
Combat gear - base layers
Base layers include boots, gloves, boxer, socks and any “under armour”
compression clothing you will want to use.
Boots
Let’s start with the boots; you need black urban assault boots (not camo or any
long distance “forest boots”). The boots should facilitate the attachment of a
spur/spike on the back of the boots in order to use as a weapon for anyone
assaulting you from behind. Also, the boots should incorporate some
anti-blunt-trauma material which will help you to withstand any gunshot hits you
might suffer (the ballistic boot protector in combination with good boots will
be optimal).
The following are examples of boots that will suit your needs:
ATAC Shield Boot 8” (511tactical.com)
I chose the XPRT Tactical Boot 8" Boot due to the fact that they didn’t have the
above in my size. Both offer a “Shock Mitigation System” and has received the
highest of ratings. Prices range from 130 to 180 USD. I bought mine from
polimil.com, a great distributor with a wide range of products.
http://www.511tactical.com/browse/Home/Law-Enforcement/Boots/XPRT-Tactical-Boot-8-Boot/D/30100/P/1:100:10000:10700/I/12201
Socks
X-Socks Speed Metal or any other expensive high-tech sport socks available
http://www.trailspace.com/gear/x-socks/speed-metal-sock/
Description: help cool your feet during a long, hot run with X-Sock's Xitanit
conductive technology. The X-Sock Speed Metal Running Sock incorporates
heat-conducting fibers, air-conditioning airflow channels, and supportive
blister-reducing bands to keep your feet supremely comfortable, mile after mile.
It sounds really techy-and it is. You'll also find that it makes a great
difference.
Skins Compression gear
I would highly recommend Skins Long Sleeve Top and the Skins Compression
Leggings
Top:

Leggings:
http://www.polimil.co.uk/acatalog/Skins_Sport_Compression_Leggings__58_95.html
Benefits with Skins compression gear:
Will enhance your performance in training and recovery and give you an edge over
your opponents (SWAT and regular system protectors).
They enhance circulation from engineered gradient compression which assists in
reducing lactic acid build-up. A precision fit (choose your size from their size
chart) based on your body mass index algorithm. Focuses muscle power and
dramatically reduces muscle vibration. Moisture management wicking draws
moisture away from your skin keeping you dry. Optimises your body temperature in
warm or cool conditions. The top changes the shape of the diaphragm and
encourages better posture which acts as a respiratory aid and improves
performance. During aerobic activity where muscles need the body to process more
oxygen a Skins top will help the wearer to breathe into the upper chest cavity
and effectively take larger breaths.
Long sleeve top and leggings costs from 135 -180 Euro.

Black & Decker X61501 13 mm Countersink Bit
http://www.tikproducts.co.uk/black--decker-x61501-13mm-countersink-bit-13mm-27501-p.asp
I successfully attatched the following “spike” on the backside, using a size 5
drill (the spike attachment pin is size 5,3 so it was a perfect match.
Tepes Revenge - Defensive Steel Impaler
The
name is taken from Romanias most famous historical Crusader, Vlad Tepes, who
impaled tens of thousands of Muslim invaders in the Balkans. The following
defensive melee weapon is inexpensive and quite easy to create and is especially
designed for one-man-cells where there is a high operational risk of being
assaulted from behind or from one of the sides. The stationary defensive spikes
primary function is to work as a deterrent, in order to discourage anyone from
assault you. However, should someone choose to attack you from behind, he will
most likely try to lock your arms in a standard “locking manouvre”. With one or
more Tepes Revenge attached to your back vest you can easily impale and injure
the attacker with only a little motion required from your end. The likelyhood of
successful impaling is high as Tepes Revenge consists of 4 blades – 2 bent at 90
degrees and 2 bent at 130 degrees.
1-4.
Staples letter opener/knife x 4 – 25 cm long with wooden handle/two holes, the 4
letter openers are bent as illustrated after removal of the wooden handles.
5.
2 x metal ruler or similarly shaped object
6.
The fabric TR is attached to
7.
2 screws with nuts
8.
A smaller spiked item made of iron and sold in larger hardware stores/house
building stores. I don’t exactly remember what the this type of “nail” is called
but it is used to fasten large wooden beams in house-building. This item can be
fastened to your lower arms by drilling two holes through and fastening it to
your lower-arm-protector with screws and nuts. Range of nail varies but aprox
15-20 cm is iptimal. For additional stabilization you may use circular plates
with holes in them (they look like a coin with a size 5 hole in it.
Costs: 4 x letter openers/knives: 25 Euro, metal ruler: 12 Euro, screws with
nuts: 19 Euro, 2 x iron beam nails: 5 Euro
End note: Tepes Revenge should be fastened on the upper side of your back to
counter any conventional assault maneuvre from behind, where the attacker
attempts to lock your arms or grab you around the neck. This can be very useful
when your operation involves the assault on a crowd, where there is a chance
that the situation can develop chaoticly and there are people on all sides. In a
scenario like this, TR may prevent any surprices from behind. The knives should
be sharpened and coloured black with a permanent marker.
8. Should be fastened on your lower
arms so that you may defensively stab with them if assaulted if you are unable
to use your primary or secondary fire arm. You may fasten TR to your combat
vest. Just keep in mind that it will prevent your mobility in cases where you
need to f example drive a car. An alternative for fastening TR to your combat
vest is to attach it to a wide nylon strap, supported by f example a metal ruler
and/or hook & loop material. In this case you will have to wear it as a belt,
just on your chest/upper back. Simply take it off as you are entering a vehicle.
Caltrops
– immediate vehicle-disabling road block
A caltrop (also known as caltrap, galtrop, cheval trap, galthrap, galtrap,
calthrop, crow's foot) is an anti-vehicle weapon made up of two or more sharp
nails or spines arranged in such a manner that one of them always points upward
from a stable base.
These ancient weapons may be thought of as the landmines of antiquity, useful to
shape the battlefield and force the enemy into certain paths and approaches, or
to provide a passive defense as part of a defensive works system. Caltrops
served to slow down the advance of horses, war elephants, and human troops. They
were said to be particularly effective against the soft feet of camels. In more
modern times, caltrops are used against wheeled vehicles with or without
pneumatic tires.
The best caltrops available against vehicles are hollow spikes which puncture
self-sealing rubber tires. The hole in the center allows air to escape even if
the other end of the tube is sealed by soft ground.
These caltrops can be ordered from the following supplier:

Country/Region: Mexico
Zip: 45236
Telephone: 52-331-4875439
Mobile Phone: 3314875439
Prices vary from 3-5 USD per caltrop depending on the amount you order. Keep in
mind that you will use approximately 10-20 caltrops to effectively create a
vehicle-disabling roadblock.
Caltrops are very useful for certain missions where it is necessary to either
escape (use on free-way to prevent pursuit), to block of roads or to cause havoc
in situations where you want to prevent system protectors from pursuing you.
Usually, shipments by courier (fedex, UPS etc.) will have a higher chance of not
being seized. The sellers are familiar with import restrictions and will usually
mark the shipment with “metal handicrafts” or other vague descriptions. I
ordered 60 caltrops.

LED police lights
These are used to mimic system protector vehicles. They are very useful for
confusing system protectors/guards/civilians on f example your second target and
thus prevent them from shooting at your car. The LED police lights should be
used in combination with car magnets.
http://www.extremetacticaldynamics.com/
Car magnets
Car magnets are used to fasten logos etc on 1 – 4 sides of your car. You will
often find it useful to print out (using a high quality colour printer) logos
and glue them to the car magnets using plastic film. Very useful for certain
missions. I ordered 12 in size 20 x 20 cm and created the necessary logos in
photoshop, and using a high quality print shop abroad (obviously paying by
cash).
Smoke grenades (signal smoke) and various gun/army related items
Smoke grenades are usually used when you need to escape a location and/or when
you are pinned down. They can also work as distractions.
www.asmc.de
4GB AEE PD80 Mini DV DVR Camera
This extremely small and lightweight field camera is used to document your
operation. 4 GB is equivalent to 2 hour of constant filming. Ive personally
tested it and it works great. Some governments may seize the movie (after you
are neutralized) and publish it while others may bury it or even destroy it to
protect the multiculturalist ideology. The reason is that they may regard any
documentation from the Justiciar Knight as a mockery of their system. On the
other hand, they may actually release the film to the press censored or even
uncensored. You may want to bring 2 memory chips and attempt to mail one of
them, if possible. You place the memory chip in a pre-made envelope (with stamps
and the address of a pre-selected news desk that is likely to publish it
uncensored). The best option would of course be to upload the digital movie via
high speed internet (your Iphone) to a distribution site at the end of your
mission. Unfortunately though, uploading 1-2 GB would take at least 3-7 hours.
Also, there is normally a 200MB-ish cap on email attatchments so sending the
movie to 10-20 newsdesks is not yet an option due to technological limitations.
This will off course change at some point in the future.

Assault rig/molle rig
www.skdtac.com offers excellent chest rigs. However, there are numeours
suppliers in all countries.
Various armour parts/gun parts
www.israeli-weapons.com offers a lot of equipment not normally found in European
stores.
Gas mask
A gas mask is useful in situations where you are surrounded and flanked on all
sides (f example inside a building) and you expect a SWAT team to strike against
you. In most cases they will launch a CS strike (tear gas) 30 seconds before
they ram the door and storm your position. With a gas mask and decent cover, you
will be able to neutralize up to 5 system protectors before they manage to
overwhelm you. SWAT teams have very little experience with professional freedom
fighters and are usually used to criminals and gun desperados with little or no
body armour, no insight and experience with SWAT tactics and little or no
survival equipment.
You need a compact gasmask with minimal weight. You should consider buying a
Soviet gas mask (GP-5) as they fit the description and costs less than 10 Euro.
They made millions and have been dumping them on the market for years. Western
gas masks with the similar specs costs 100 Euro +. There are several suppliers
selling these and some are continuously listed on ebay. I have been unable to
confirm whether the filter is specifically effective against SWAT CS gas, but Im
pretty sure it offers decent protection based on the description of the filter
(nuclear, biological, chemical protection).
Cost – 25 Euro incl shipping.

Blank patches – black
Used to place emblems or other logos (f example to mimic system protectors).
Emblems/logos are printed, laminated and glued to the surface of the patches
with adhesive double sided strips. You can order these patches with
Velcro/hooks.

Money belt with secret pocket
Useful when traveling abroad and when you contact criminals individuals or
networks (weapons acquisition). It limits the chances of being robbed.
Acquiring the appropriate drivers license
Class 1: Regular car up to small truck (up to 1,2 ton cargo load only!). Aprox
cost for this license is 2000-3000 Euro depending on the various Western
European countries.
Class 2: Medium truck up to 7,5 ton max weight (up to 2,5 ton cargo load only!).
Aprox cost is 2250-3250 Euro in addition to the cost for the class 1 license.
Class 3: Large truck (up to 5-8 tons cargo load). Aprox cost is 2500-3500 Euro.
Tips: if you don’t have a license yet, you have to first take class 1 and then
take class 3 (forget about class 2).
You should not drive around without a license as this will substantially
increase the risk of apprehension and may cause a lot of problems. In addition,
you will not be able to rent a truck from the rental companies without a valid
driver’s license. You might think you are smart and buy a stolen truck (or steal
one yourself). However, the added risk and costs involved will not weigh up for
the alternative cost of getting your truck license the legal way. You should
calculate aprox 2-3 months for the acquisition of a valid truck license if you
already have the class 1 license. If you lack both you should estimate a 5-6
months acquisition time.
End note: as my cargo would be less than 1,2 tons per vehicle I disregarded
upgrading my license and saved 4000 Euro.
Smugling an assault rifle and other equipment across the border in your vehicle
Carve out a majority of the PVC foam in your rear car seats. You start by
unscruing the seats (usually 2 screws per seat). It’s smart to check the
advanced car manual for your car model online so you learn specifically how to
detach the seat. I removed the two rear car seats, transported them to an
appropriate location and started working on them. The fabric under the seat was
attached with Velcro (hook-loop) so gaining access to the foam was easy. I then
cut out enough foam which would ensure I had room for the weapon related
equipment needed for the operation: 1 assault rifle, grenades, glock, ammo etc.
When you disassemble f example an AK-47 you are able to reduce the length down
to 65 cm. Unfortunately for me, the seat was only 60 cm at its widest so If I
end up buying an AK I will basically have to shorten the barrel by at least 5
cm. This can easily be done by bringing a hacksaw or another saw for cutting
metal.

Establishing your gun connection – the black market guns in Europe
Contrary to popular belief, European gun control does not mean that European
citizens lack access to firearms. In fact, street prices of more common firearms
in European capitals are not much higher than what one would expect to pay in a
gun shop in the US.
London has become famous for two things: Strict gun control and easy
availability of firearms for their criminal classes. Generally, shopping for
black market weapons on a small scale is not like browsing gun shops in places
where the weapons are legal.
Browsing is considered inappropriate and you must be prepared to buy once the
connection is met. Extended
negotiation or waffling on a deal is inappropriate and more likely than not
going to burn the possibility of any future contact with the other party.
Selections are often very limited. Unlike a conventional commercial purchase,
the buyer will probably not be able to dictate the make and model of a gun that
he will buy, but will probably be able to request the type. The buyer can f
example request an automatic or revolver, and dictate the caliber.
If the weapon is an assault rifle, the buyer will probably be able to
pick the make and model, as long as it is some derivative of an AK.
Smugglers will favor compact weapons that have a high profit ratio. This usually
means handguns which are cheap in the source country and can be sold at a
healthy enough markup for the chain of middlemen involved. The selection of guns
available in London is a pretty good example of this.
The Uzi pictured in this British illustration is probably not the model commonly
available there, but the picture is meant to represent the four most available
guns in London. Prices range from
200 to 300 British pounds but I suspect the Uzi is a little more.
The most likely Uzi models they have available are the full size ones.
While the Brits credit the availability to the Israelis, they conveniently leave
out that copies are in production in at least four other countries. This
includes China, Croatia and quite possibly Iran.
Source countries include most East European countries other than Poland and
Russia, and China through middlemen. Rumor has it that many newer model quality
guns on the black market are products of Croatia being marketed by a loose
alliance of "former" intelligence agents also responsible for the infamous
"Amsterdam cell phone gun" which is a handgun built to closely resemble a cell
phone.
What I have found is that immigrants tend to have more ready access than native
Europeans, but the natives tend to have access to the more costly higher quality
weapons.
The other sources of black market guns in Europe are "repaired" guns that were
once deactivated war trophies traded about by collectors. The craftsmanship
involved in "reactivating" the war trophy guns makes them a costly item traded
in antique collecting circles as a "special" item among close knit associates
usually connected with retired military personnel.
There is also a limited business in stolen military weapons, but it has been
hard to determine how extensive it is. My guess is that it is pretty minimal
given the high security at most military installations, although many
ex-soldiers from the Russian army commonly take weapons with them to sell. In
such cases, the weapons will usually be folding stock AK derivatives like the
AK74 or AK 100.
What can prove even more difficult than obtaining guns in Europe is getting
supplies of ammunition. The old rule of "buck a bullet" often applies. Sometimes
(like in the UK) there is an "underground" of reloaders manufacturing ammunition
from components on a small scale and secret indoor shooting ranges. Otherwise,
the ammo is smuggled in and the smugglers expect to make a healthy profit.
This select clientele is usually former military personnel employed as
bodyguards and sometimes mercenaries. Unlike the US, mercenaries are openly
recruited in several European countries. These people usually have better
connections for weapons, but are more select and secretive about whom they deal
with.
I have been reading reports of Albanian and Middle Eastern heroin running gangs
using heavier military weapons in France, including one apparent gang leader who
fired several shots from an RPG-7 at police in a long drawn out car chase and
gun battle at an apartment complex.
The reality of the European black market arms situation is that the relative
ease with which guns can be smuggled in from places where they are cheap
From what I have gathered, a number of connections for the guns are made the
following ways:
·
At large parties and nightclubs, especially the "underground" nightclubs where
narcotics are commonly available. These will be frequented by gangs, organized
crime, and military deserters.
·
Through professional bodyguards, mercenaries and the organizations that broker
their services. This includes a number of the "bodyguard" and "mercenary"
schools operating in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, often through
a loose alliance of "retired" military and intelligence personnel. Gaining the
trust of these people can be difficult, but once they trust you, they can make
almost anything available, up to and including combat aircraft. It can be very
difficult to sift the bullshitters from the real players so don't put money up
front until you can see some serious evidence that they can deliver.
·
Through loose associations of militaria collectors and former gun collectors and
dealers. Most are under active
investigations by law enforcement, so they are usually pretty paranoid, but they
do have access to the weapons.
Those who I found often will not have access to weapons or have them but are
unwilling to sell them off:
·
Political and "terror" organizations like the IRA and Orangemen. They have
weapons, but jealously guard their contacts and almost never sell them off.
Marxist organizations rarely sell weapons to anybody other than "fellow
travelers" in allied Marxist organizations. The trick is to find the occasional
deserter or corrupt individual in one of these organizations who can be
convinced to give something up for cash or something of value.
·
Anarcho-Nationalists: Skinheads and/or Neo Nazis. They may be ultra-violent, but
they are mainly brawlers and vandals, not bomb makers or gunfighters. Weapons
they use are usually improvised and disposable and nearly all arms dealers in
Europe avoid dealing with the skinheads. They are usually under active
investigation by any number of agencies thus it becomes very risky for most arms
dealers to associate with them and thus what weapons the skinheads get, they
rarely are willing to depart with. They do usually know where and how much the
weapons cost, but are usually looking to make a connection rather than become
the connection.
In general, Revolutionary Conservative in Europe is often going to be on the
same ground as the criminals until some events happen that separate the good
people from the bad people. That is
not to say certain weapon permits are impossible to obtain in Europe. In fact,
there is a growing international movement for the rights of citizen's to own
weapons which is challenging Marxist policy in many west European countries.
End note: Do not take unnecessary risks and lurk around in the back alleys in
order to attempt to establish a gun connection. Rather, let your money work for
you. When you believe you have found a connection, offer him 500-1000 Euro in
order to help you acquire your “shopping list”. Chances are there that he at
least will know someone with a connection. 500-1000 Euro might seem like a lot
but at the end of the day; your well being is worth more than 1000 Euro and it
can substantially decrease the risk of being robbed or even killed in extreme
cases.
Assault rifle shooting ranges in Europe: Czech Republic, Poland and Switzerland
There are only three European countries where it is legal to shoot an AK 47 and
other assault rifles in Europe. A shooting range in Prague,
Czech Republic has a limited license
under supervision of fire range instructors where you can fire full automatic AK
47, high powered sniper rifle M16 and other weapons. In Poland and Switzerland
you may practice the AK 47 but only in semi automatic mode. For those of us with
contacts within the Serbian and Armenian nationalist movements there are some
opportunities in those countries as well.
Outside Europe
The easiest and most secure way to be able to practice full automatic assault
rifle shooting is to travel to Christian African countries. Never travel to
Muslim countries as this is very dangerous even for our Marxist enemies! The
likelyhood that European intelligence manages to find your name is significantly
lowered if you train outside Europe.
My suggestion
You don’t really need to practice on full auto mode. The most important thing is
that you familiarise yourself with recoil in combination with high speed aiming.
This can be done with semi automatic rifles or even with bolt rifles. You can
legally buy a bolt rifle and/or a semi automatic rifle in most European
countries and practice on a shooting range. I legally own a pump action shotgun,
a 308 win bolt rifle (same caliber as the AK 47) and a semi-automatic Ruger Mini
14 and have managed to familiarize myself with high speed target acquisition in
relation to the recoil by firing one round at a time. Automatic mode is not
practical for 5.56 and 7.65 assault rifles as it is more or less impossible to
accurately hit a target while “spraying” in one direction. Weapons like the MP5
is a totally different story however because the recoil of the 9mm bullet is
much easier to handle without loosing the aim. Practicing with a similar caliber
rifle is almost as good as becoming an expert at the real thing. Keep in mind
that with the high tech red point (expensive versions), green laser and 3 x
flip-up sight you are prepared for anything at medium range and you are not
necessarily unprepared because you lack experience in full auto spraying. With
the above sight equipment mounted on your assault rifle you will successfully
manage to acquire and neutralize multiple targets at a minimum amount of time.
Just ensure that you familiarise yourself with the recoil in relation to swift
target acquisition and you will be prepared.

European intelligence agencies taps mobile phones even if they are turned off
The technique is called a "roving bug", and was approved by the U.S. Department
of Justice for the first time in 2003. These surveillance techniques are usually
only used against potential terrorists and advanced organized crime syndicates.
The eavesdropping technique functions whether the phone is powered on or off.
Some handsets can't be fully powered down without physically removing the
battery; for instance, some Nokia models will wake up when turned off if an
alarm is set. Nextel, Samsung and Motorola are especially vulnerable. At this
time it is unknown exactly which mobile phone models it works on so you should
ensure that you ALWAYS physically remove the battery from your phone when you do
not want your national intelligence agency to pinpoint your location or monitor
your conversations through the audio device of the phone.
If you want to read more about the “roving bug” technique you can read the whole
story below.

Survival is the art of staying alive. Mental attitude is as important as
physical endurance and knowledge.
Think of survival skills as a pyramid, built on the foundation of the will to
survive. The next layer of the pyramid is knowledge. It breeds confidence and
dispels fears. The third layer is training: mastering skills and maintaining
them. To cap the pyramid, add your equipment. Combine the instinct for survival
with knowledge, training and equipment and you will be ready for anything. You
will become a one-man army.
Getting fit, “Physical transformation period”, prior to operation
You are going have to go through a “physical transformation period” to prepare
yourself as a Justiciar Knight before you engage in armed resistance against the
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist establishment. As such, the struggle requires
determination, courage, and top physical conditioning.
This might seem trivial for some but very challenging or impossible to others.
As for me, I had to overcome huge obstacles due to the fact that my physical
conditioning was at a bottom low after more than a decade of office work and
inactivity. Nevertheless, a hard training program in combination with the use of
protein supplements, Winstrol and Stack 2 helped me reach superb physical
condition in less than four months.
This is how you can overcome these obstacles:
Start your physical training programme at least 4 months prior to operation.
Joining your local gym is the logical approach. You should try to reach your
optimal weight (lose weight if necessary), considering the fact that you most
likely will have to carry up to 40kg of equipment (body armour/weapons etc). Set
up your training programme; f example 2-3 days of weight training and 2-3 days
of jogging or spinning. Signing up for “40-50 min “spinning classes” is an
excellent alternative as you will be pushed for the full duration by the gym
trainer. You can also consider jogging with 40kgs weights. You can create an
outfit for these sessions consisting of a jacket with weights (heavy objects in
the pockets and a metal pipe in your arms equivalent to the weight of an assault
rifle). It will most likely look completely ridiculous but it would be a good
physical simulation.
A good training schedule in combination with a diet is the recipe for the
desired results. You should really consider using steroids to reach your goal.
There are many misconceptions related to the use of steroids but it is in fact
the most logical approach. Not all people are motivated for strict training
courses. Using stimulants can increase, not only your motivation but your
agility, speed, strength and endurance by up to 200% depending on your current
foundation.
Martial arts and melee combat techniques
Martial arts or fighting arts are systems of codified practices and traditions
of training for combat. Martial arts all have a very similar objective: defend
oneself or others from a physical threat. In addition, some martial arts are
linked to beliefs such as Hinduism while others follow a particular code of
honour. Martial arts are considered as both an art and a science. The term
martial arts refers to the art of warfare (derived from Mars, the Roman god of
war) and comes from a 15th-century European term referring to what are now known
as historical European martial arts. Europe is home to many extensive systems of
fighting, both living traditions that have existed through the present and
others which are now being reconstructed.
A common characteristic of martial art is the systematization of fighting
techniques. Methods of training vary and may include sparring (simulated
combat). This includes such styles as sword and shield, two-handed sword
fighting, halberd fighting and other types of melee weapons combat. European
martial arts have mostly adapted to changing technology so that while some
traditional arts still exist, military personnel are trained in skills like
bayonet combat and marksmanship.
My own country, Norway, has a millennium-long tradition in Viking-sword
techniques or more popularly referred to as broad-sword techniques. A forward,
basic heavy thrust with a Viking sword, could f example cut a man in two. It
usually takes 3 years of hard training to fully master a broad-sword. However,
regardless of how patriotic it would be to become a master of my Dyback Wiking
sword replica (excellent combat-ready replicas, using traditional crafting
methods are still produced in Toledo, Spain) we must sadly conclude that a
majority of our traditional weapons and traditional European fighting techniques
are obviously illogical and even
counter-productive for current use.
Marksmanship and bayonet training
The most pragmatic approach for Justiciar Knight martial arts training includes
marksmanship training, bayonet training (and simulations involving your
additional defensive spikes/knives) and basic full contact fighting techniques
for defensive and offensive purposes.
Muai Thai
As for basic, full contact, defensive and offensive fighting techniques I would
highly recommend Muai Thai.
Muay Thai
is a hard martial art from Thailand
and is referred to as the "Art of Eight Limbs" or the "Science Of Eight Limbs"
because it makes use of punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, thus using
eight "points of contact", as opposed to "two points" (fists) in Western boxing
and "four points" (hands and feet) used in sport-oriented martial arts.
Almost all techniques in Muay Thai use the entire body movement, rotating the
hip with each kick, punch, elbow, block and includes the following techniques:
Punching
Jab, hook, swing, spinning backfist, uppercut and cobra.
Elbow
Elbow slash, horizontal elbow, uppercut elbow, forward elbow thrust, reverse
horizontal elbow, spinning elbow, elbow chop, double elbow chop and mid-air
elbow strike.
Kicking
Straight kick, roundhouse kick, half-knee kick, spinning heel kick, down
roundhouse kick, axe heel kick, jump kick, step-up kick, straight knee strike,
diagonal knee strike, curving knee strike, horizontal knee strike, knee slap,
knee bomb, jumping knee, stap-up knee strike, straight foot-thrust, sideways
foot-thrust, reverse foot-thrust, slapping foot-thrust and jumping foot-thrust.
Clinch and neck wrestling
In Western boxing the two fighters are separated when they clinch; in Muay Thai,
however, they are not. It is often in the clinch where knee and elbow techniques
are used. Normally, if you are in a clinch with someone and unable to use any of
your weapons, always go for the neck. Simply punching the neck (Adam's apple)
with a certain force should neutralise a majority of threats as the neck is the
most vulnerable and potentially lethal point.
Justiciar Knight martial art
It’s time for us, the European revolutionary patriots, to remember our prowess
as warriors and to make sure our enemies remember it as well. Considering the
fact that a Justiciar Knight is armed with not only a primary and secondary
weapon but melee weapons as well, we will have little use for the majority of
Muai Thai techniques (although knowledge and experience with basic techniques
can be useful). Even if a Justiciar Knight wanted to, he would be physically
unable to use many of these techniques due to the weight of the gear he carries
and the resulting movement limitations. This will of course vary as each
Justiciar Knight Commander decides what type of armour and gear to use depending
on the specific operation.
If I were to attempt to describe the martial art form of my specific operation
it would resemble that of the extremely mobile juggernaut (deployable human
tank). My relatively heavy but strong level III ballistic armour (+ shield and
level III helmet with visor) would counter the MP5 fire threat from my city’s
system protectors. As for information concerning the operatives in my cell, I
cannot disclose anything that might indicate number of individuals or their
methods and/or tasks. As for my own role; the weight of the armour would prevent
me from running long distances; however, this will be compensated by using light
vehicles to get from one location to the other. This particular approach can be
described as a “system protector – “flank buster” technique, constructed to
charge and annihilate an improvised system protector flank, if necessary. It is
likely that I will have to attempt to charge and annihilate one of these flanks
close to my second or third target location. The spikes on the shield, neck,
arms and boots, in addition to the bayonet would also be highly efficient
against any civilians or system protectors trying to jump you from behind.
End note: keep in mind that the custom designed defensive spikes/knives must not
impair your ability to drive a car.
A quick guide to the optimal diet
Your diet will be based on your current physical state. Whether you are in your
current match weight (optimal weight) or if you are too skinny or even
overweight – you should set up a diet based on your physical goals.
In either case, you should consider using the absolute best dietary
supplements on the market. Having trained weights on and off since I was 12, I
have learned a lot about an optimal diet. I recently spent (again) several hours
researching a multitude of products reading hundreds of reviews and concluded
with the following dietary products which apply for an individual who has to
lose 7 kg of fat and gain 7-10 kg of muscle mass. My specific diet includes
following a 2300 calorie per day dietary program until I manage to burn the fat
– then stabilise/build on approximately 2500-2800 calories.
Protein powder
Gold Standard 100% Whey (2 bags, total of 10 kg).
Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein won the Supplement Of The Year and Protein
Powder Of The Year award for 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 for a good reason. It is
a really good product. The best flavour, according to reviews, is “double rich
chocolate”.
Creatine capsules
Creatine Ethyl Ester capsules (6 boxes x 240 capsules)
Creatine is by far, one of the best discoveries that has hit the
bodybuilding/fitness world. Creatine monohydrate has proven effective in
increasing muscle mass, strength and all around athletic performance. Creatine
Ethyl Ester is an exceptionally soluble creatine resulting in advanced
absorption, increased bioavailability, and stability. Instead of saturating your
system in creatine and hoping for absorption, creatine ethyl ester directly
penetrates the muscle cell resulting in 30 to 40 times more functional creatine.
Protein chocolate bars
“Carb Conscious Bar” by “Supreme Protein” (8 variety packs x 12 bars)
“Carb Conscious Bar” by “Supreme Protein” won the “Protein Bar of the Year 2009”
award. The bar is packed with premium-grade protein blend, powered by more
high-quality whey isolate than any other product of its kind. This pure and
powerful protein is unmatched in amino content, bioavailability and
muscle-building benefits. You will find even better bars out there, however,
they will taste like sh.. compared to this one. They all taste excellent.
I paid a total of 600 USD for the above products. Needless to say, there are
many European brands that are suitable as well. However, considering the fact
that the USD is so weak at the moment you will get a lot more when ordering
these products (or others) from US based – bodybuilding.com.
A quick guide to oral anabolic steroids
The use of anabolic steroids will significantly increase your agility, speed,
strength and endurance. A good alternative in this regard is Winstrol
(stanazolol) in tablet form (liquid form is slightly better if you don’t mind
needles, which I do). Winstrol is one of the most popular drugs considering the
fact that it has very few side effects (androgenic side effects are almost
zero). It also increases your metabolism which will help you lose body fat while
building muscle mass. Anavar works as well, but I wouldn’t recommend Dianabol,
Halotestin and Maxibolin which are designed for ”bulking your muscles”. EPO is
another drug that enhances endurance.
Steroids are usually taken in 6 week cycles followed by a 6 week break. Make
sure that your operation is within a cycle.
Winstrol specification
Winstrol
is an orally or injectable applicable steroid with a great effect on protein
metabolism. Winstrol (Stanozolol)
is a derivative of testosterone and has very strong anabolic and androgenic
properties. Winstrol has a great
effect on protein metabolism and promotes protein synthesis. This effect
manifests itself by creating a positive nitrogen balance, supporting the
building up of protein and thus skeletal muscle mass.
Winstrol also induces an
improved sense of well-being. Appetite stimulation, increased muscle mass,
increased bone density, increased red blood cells are the common effects of
Winstrol.
End note: I ended up with DBOL and winstrol tabs. Yes, I am aware of the fact
that there are much better products out there but these will have to suffice. I
will do 4 weeks with DBOL followed by 2 weeks of winstrol, obviously in
combination with hard training and an appropriate diet consisting of a minimum
of 200g protein per day (prot powder) etc. My training program will consist of
50% strength and 50% cardio. I ordered the DBOL+ Winstrol tabs from an online
store called “Alinshop” who offers “paperbol”, a new shipping method for sending
tablets safely through the mail. The essence of the method is the following:
tablets are glued vertically on a sheet of paper, resulting in a thickness of no
more than 0,2 cm. As such, the shipment is sent as a thin “letter” and avoids
the custom scrutiny reserved for “packages”. It is a highly efficient technique
used to send anabolic tablets safely through the Western postal systems. I
received my “letter” without any problems with a total of 3000 tablets of DBOL
and Winstrol. Alinshop has its office in the Balkans. I intend to do at least
more test cycle and one last “operational cycle”.
Countering the water/fluid retention from DBOL
The problem with DBOL is that 20-50% of your weight gain is from water/fluid
retention. Fluid bloats the muscles and adds little or no strength gain at all.
If you can control the water retention with Arimidex or Aromasin, DBOL is fine
and you will experience exceptional muscle/strength gain with little water
retention.
Aromasin (exemestane), the best
Arimedex, the second best
Use aromasin at 0,25-5 mg per day (drink a lot of water to prevent dehydration)
Aromasin is better because it's easy on HDL, it will free up test lower shbg,
can cause muscle gains and is much better tolerated and more effective
(suppression profile wise) as compared to Arimidex. You will find very few
people that prefer Arimidex over Aromasin.
Non-steroid means to avoid too much water/fluid retention.
·
Reduce your sodium/pottassium intake as both are potent regulators of fluid
retention. Sodium is salt (sodium chloride) and f example tuna fish is loaded
with sodium).
·
Regular H2o (water) intake is a good idea as it help keep the system flushed.
·
Watch carbohydrate intake as too much carbs will lead to fluid retention. It
takes 300-400ml of water to store 100g of carbs.
Generally, if you run a test prop cycle (testosterone propionate), instead of
DBOL you will get little to no water retention. The drawback (if any) is that
you have to take “test prop” through syringe and needle as its half life in pill
form prohibits oral intake.
End note: after testing both DBOL and Winstrol tabs extensively I am likely to
go with WIN on the mission as it will lessen the water retention significantly.
I may use 1 week of DBOL (10 mg tabs x 4 times per day) followed by 1-2 weeks of
Winstrol (10 mg tabs x 4 times per day) prior to operation. I may increase the
dosage to 50 mg per day since I didn’t notice any side effects while using 40
mg. Just remember; never use alcohol when on steroids and always couple the
above with 3 tabs of Milk Thistle per day for additional liver protection.
Using stimulants –
Ephedrine + caffeine mix (“Stack”)
Ephedrine
When administered, ephedrine will notably increase the activity of the central
nervous system, as well as have a stimulatory effect on other target cells. This
will produce a number of effects beneficial to the user.
The stimulant effect of the drug will also increase the force of skeletal muscle
contractions. For this reason ephedrine is commonly used by athletes as the
resultant strength and energy increase will clearly improve performance. It will
also provide a notable mental edge, as the user is more energetic and better
able to concentrate on the tasks ahead.
It is important that this compound not be used continuously as its effect will
diminish as the body becomes accustomed to the drug.
Side effects can be: shaky hands, tremors, sweating, rapid heartbeat, dizziness
and feelings of inner unrest. Often these effects subside as the user becomes
more accustomed to the effect of this drug. As long as you don’t use ephedrine
on an empty stomach this shouldn’t be a problem.
Stack (Ephedrine + caffeine mix)
New studies indicate that ephedrine works best when ingested along with
caffeine.
Ephedrine combined with caffeine has proven to be a powerful stimulant
increasing physical performance by aprox. 39%. Heart rates were slightly higher
with the ephedrine-caffeine combo, but any physical workout will feel
considerably easier.
It’s important that you test it out a few times to ensure that your body can
handle it well with the desired effects (don’t use it if you have a heart
condition).
Products containing ephedrine, caffeine (and often aspirin) is legal in many
European countries and are selling under various brands: Stack 2, Stacker 2
among other names.
Personal note: Ive used “Stack II” occasionally for several years. Especially
during the period when I used to work long hours (12 hours per day). I can
personally attest to the fact that it is an amazing stimulant. Obviously, it’s
not healthy which is why I only used it for a couple of years, after that only
rarely.
Acquiring the ECA stack stimulant in Europe - ephedrine (E), caffeine (C) and
aspirin (A) combination stack
After the EU and US ban on ephedrine products it is now practically impossible
to acquire the ECA stack legally (ephedrine, caffeine and aspirine combination
stack). They have even banned these products in Thailand. So unless you have
some hardcore globetrotter bodybuilder contacts you will want to consider making
this ECA stack yourself using base materials. Trust me when I say; you WANT this
enhancer for your operation as it will significantly increase your strength,
agility and focus with up to 30-50% for 1-2 hours after taking 1 capsule. This
enhancer, in combination with a steroid cycle, will increase your physical and
mental abilities by up to 100% transforming you into an unstoppable one man army
when used in combination with proper training and a full range of body armour
and weapons.
Tips and tricks when creating your own ECA stack (tips credited to Swathorne):
It is important to emphasize that you should purchase pure ephedrine and not
ephedra. Be wary of products sold over the internet that contain the natural
ephedra extract. These may also be advertised as containing Ma Huang. Ephedra
products could contain toxins or defects especially considering that the
products may have been produced in countries with little to no regulation on
ephedrine products. Pure ephedrine is less likely to bring about negative side
effects due to its lab produced nature and the regulation placed upon its
distribution.
Any product containing ephedrine hcl that is sold as an over the counter drug in
a pharmacy is pure ephedrine. I strongly recommend purchasing pure ephedrine and
doing so in person at a pharmacy or from a reputable pharmaceutical company and
merchant online. As always I remind the readership that you use ephedrine hcl at
your own risk and even though it is an over the counter drug it can still be
dangerous if used irresponsibly. Remember to always drink a lot of water when
using and never use ephedrine if you have a heart condition!
It is often advisable to create your own simple ECA stack using pure ephedrine
and pure caffeine that you can physically see and administer themselves rather
than buy a magic pill off the internet that contains some blend of ephedra
products and whatever other questionable supplements or herbs the manufacturer
put into a capsule. Caffeine aids ephedrine by enhancing the body’s thermogenic
response to ephedrine.
How to aquire pure ephedrine, pure caffeine and aspirin
Many bodybuilders, fitness enthusiasts and other individuals are now creating
their own ECA stack for the intention of using it as a weight loss supplement.
Ephedrine hcl, this over the counter nasal decongestant, is simply a purified
form of the ephedra found in many of the well thought of weight loss pills
before the ban. You create your own ECA stack by purchasing ephedrine hcl,
caffeine, and aspirin online or at convenience/drug stores.
-
Ephedrine hcl tabs can only be bought legally in the US, the UK and Finland. It
is very hard to acquire in all other Western European countries. Ordering online
will therefore be the most convenient way to get it. Popular brands of ephedrine
HCL include Vasopro, Bolt, and Primatene. Typically ephedrine HCL comes in doses
of 8 mg, 12.5mg, 25mg, or 30mg. For ephedrine weight loss 25mg is recommended.
If you have problems acquiring ephedrine in Europe, it is sold in Walgreens in
the US so you might want to visit the store if you are going to the US for any
other purpose (to buy body armour or AP-light projectiles for self loading.
-
Buy 200 mg caffeine pills from your drug store/vitamin/herb shop
-
Buy aspirin from any store
Abuse of ephedrine can result in serious side effects so please use caution when
choosing the right dosage. Remember to test your tolerance for the ECA stack so
that you are guaranteed a proper dose during your operation (not too much, not
too little). Taking too much ephedrine in you ECA stack too early on can result
in dangerously high blood pressure and if you fail to drink anything after
taking a stack you may feel you are about to faint. You may want to use the ECA
stack for a whole week before the operation in order to ensure you can measure
your exact tolerance level. Start out using half the recommended dose of
ephedrine hcl and work your way up. Never overdo it as it’s not worth risking.
Just ensure that you research proper dosing. Personally, I would take one dosage
20 minutes prior to the initiation of the operation and another one 1,5-2 hours
after that based on my condition.
Dosage
Typically the ECA stack is consumed two or three times per day in a 1:10:10 or
1:10:15 ratio of ephedrine:caffeine:Aspirin. Usually, no more than 25 mg of
ephedrine, 200 mg of caffeine and 325 mg of Aspirin is consumed in a single
dose. It is not recommended that the stack be taken past late afternoon as this
may contribute to insomnia. Never take ECA stack daily for more than 4
consecutive weeks.
Using pure caffeine pills is recommended but ephedrine free diet pills like
Stacker or Stacker 4 can be used in conjunction with ephedrine hcl and make a
very effective ECA stack.
Status in the United States
In the United States, it is illegal to market products containing ephedrine or
ephedra alkaloids as a dietary supplement. However, ephedrine itself has never
been illegal in the United States and is currently available over-the-counter.
Status in the EU
Ephedrine and ephedra-containing supplements are currently banned in the
European Union (exceptions are the UK and Finland). However, Ephedrine is
currently available by prescription in several EU countries (it is bought in
pill form as a nasal dongestant).

End note:
I first tried buying ECA in Sweden unsuccessfully (tried 2 bodybuilder stores
who where rumoured to sell it under the counter). After a lot of research, I
ended up ordering the products from the following site:
-
150 ephedrine 8 mg tabs – 29 Pounds
http://centurysupplements.com/ephedrine-hcl-150-tabs
-
100 caffeine 200 mg tabs – 5 Pounds
http://centurysupplements.com/caffeine-200-mg-flat
I ordered the products separately and did a test order with the caffeine tabs in
order to confirm that their logistical method was safe. The caffeine shipment
came flat-packed (vacuum packed, no noise and only 5 mm thick) in a discrete
envelope (they look like a letter and are marked as natural herbal product/gift
on the customs note on the backside of the letter.
I was concerned that the envelope shipment of ephedrine would also state:
“natural herbal product” as this would be an invitation to open the package.
However, the ephedrine envelope came completely without any notes.
So ultimately, both “letters” came through without any problems. Ordering online
always involve some risk though. If the ephedrine shipment had been stopped in
customs I would get a 750 Euro fine and the Norwegian customs would
automatically press charges (although the case would be dismissed due to lack of
police capacity), as ephedrine is labeled as a narcotic substance in Norway. The
risk is minimal though (less than 3%) as the envelope shipment looks like a
regular letter with absolutely no indicators.
When you have acquired the caffeine and ephedrine tabs just buy the aspirin at
your local drug store, and buy empty gelatin capsules from your nearest
herbal/health store (vegetarian gelatin capsules are common, buy the largest
ones measuring 11-13 mm). Alternatively, you may order gelatin capsules from:
capsuline.com.
Since I now have my ECA ingredients I’m
going to test it using the following dosage:
·
8 mg ephedrine = 1 tab (NEVER take more than 25 mg in a single dose)
·
200 mg caffeine
·
250 mg aspirin
It should be noted that I am not unfamiliar with using the ECA stack. I used it
a few years ago, when it was legal in Sweden, during my 12 hour work hours
(“financial phase” from age 21 to age 25). Needless to say; they helped me
endure a few years of 10-12 hour work days which facilitated and subsidized my
subsequent “sabbatical years” which were dedicated to travel, writing this
compendium and prepare for the later phases of the operation.
As for the final phase; as I have already acquired the ingredients for the ECA
stack I made the capsules in the above mentioned dosage (I first tried with 8
and 16 mg but ended up with 3 tabs of 8 mg each. Test and increase/decrease
dosage as suited for your body type. Keep in mind that you don’t need a lot of
ECA stack tabs. You should test out your tolerance beforehand, but limit your
use to include the few days prior to the operation or else you risk building up
a partial immunity to the substances. At the same time; you should ensure that
you use it for a few days prior to operation so that you know that your body
will tolerate your selected dose well.
If you don’t feel like mixing your own ECA stack you may order pre-mixed stack
tabs from the same site (centurysupplements.com). All of their ephedrine
products and most of their ECA stacks are shipped flat packaged, except for the
Lipodrene, Stimerex, ECA Xtreme and the Firestarter.
Marksmanship training
Target practise is likely going to be a problem for many people in certain
countries (urban Europeans like us, ouch:). Consider taking a vacation to a
country where you are able to train in marksmanship or join a gun club.
Simulation by playing Call of Duty, Modern Warfare is a good alternative as well
but you should try to get some practise with a real assault rifle (with red
point optic) if possible. There are select 2nd or 3rd
world countries that offer arrangements where you can practise with an assault
rifle. Try avoiding Muslim and African countries (unless you are travelling in a
group) as they are very racist/discriminating towards Europeans. There are
security courses which is arranged by various security companies around the
world as well. Lots of opportunities for those of us with creativity and enough
cash:)
End note 1: I will try to order a one week “shooting vacation” in a Christian
African country. I will try to find a “gun resort” with access to assault
rifles. I may bring my own “red point” aim in order to get used to it.
End note 2: As i have now acquired a legal semi automatic Ruger Mini 14 I can
legally practice at the gun range. Full auto training is not really required.
Packing gear
The Boy Scouts motto is the right one. Make sure you are physically and mentally
prepared before you set out and pack the appropriate gear for what you plan to
do.
Approximately 40 kg of equipment including full body armour, weapons and ammo.
- Lighter
- Bandage + tape)
- Small flash light
- Police radio with ear plug (optional)
- Portable gas mask (optional)
- Mini Ipod with your favourite playlist for moral boost (essential:)
- Cyanide capsule (potassium cyanide), tied in a string around your neck.
- 1 litre of water (camel back)
- 2 adrenaline shots
Include a bandage and duck tape to cover your likely needs in case of injury. It
can ensure that you don’t bleed to death.
Divide the operation into phases: entry phase, objective and recovery. Clearly
state the aim of each phase and work out a time scale. Plan for emergency
procedures such as vehicle breakdown, injury etc. Allow plenty of time when
estimating the rate of progress. Pressure to keep to an over-ambitious schedule
leads to exhaustion and errors of judgement.
Gain as much knowledge of the terrain as possible: know every street. Be
prepared in case anything goes wrong. What will you do if a vehicle breaks down,
what will you do if you get injured or flanked?
Facing disaster
It is no use giving up. Only positive action can save you. People can survive
seemingly impossible situations if they have the determination. Do what you can
to avoid system protectors (police forces) and complete your objectives. A
Justiciar Knight never surrenders. If we are facing and impossible situation we
relly on our armour and training and fight to the death if necessary.
Survival stresses
The
survival situation will put you under physical and mental pressure. You will
have to overcome some or all of the following stresses:
·
Fear and anxiety
·
Pain and injury
·
Thirst and fatigue
·
Boredom
Can you cope? You have to!
Self-confidence is a product of good training and sound knowledge. These must be
acquired before you face a survival situation. Confidence will help you overcome
the mental stresses. Physical fitness will give you the resources to cope with
fatigue. The fitter you are the better you will survive. Start training now.
It is important to treat any injury as soon as possible, but pain may have to be
overcome and controlled in order to avoid the risk of further injury or death.
Severe bleeding
An adult has up to 6 litres. Loss of 0,5 litres of blood causes mild faintness,
1 litre causes faintness, increased pulse rate and shallow breathing. 1,5 litres
leads to collapse, more than 2,25 litres can be fatal. Immediate steps must be
taken to stop the flow of blood. Internal bleeding may not be apparent. If
severe, it often leads to shock and can kill.
Bleeding from veins and capillaries can be stemmed by simple pressure over the
bleeding point, with or without a dressing. Ideally the wound should be covered
with your bandage and taped to prevent blood loss.
In general, equipment clearly associated with clandestine operations should not
be stored in your home and/or secondary safe house. It is your responsibility to
avoid being linked to anything incriminating. This goes for lofts, outhouses or
any space related to the above. Counterintelligence searches and sweeps usually
focus on the area close to your home/safe house even the property of your
closest relatives. Portable caches are clearly the way to go.
A minimum of 2 portable weapon/ammo/armour caches must be prepared.
Weapons, ammo and body armour caches:
Cache 1: primary and secondary weapon w. redpoint aim, ammo and grenades.
Cache 2: melee weapons, flame thrower (not tank) and a complete set of body
armour parts including a bullet proof shield and a bullet proof helmet with
vizier.
Explosive caches (if total of 2000-5000 kg):
Cache 1: 1000-2500 kg
Cache 2: 1000-2500 kg
Detonators should be stored separate considering the fact that they may contain
electronic components.
Water proof storing devices for weapon/ammo/armour
Apropriate storage cases/containers must be used. High quality travelling cases
with a hard ”shell” are appropriate.
The cases must be high quality in order to ensure that the content is
unharmed (from water, moist etc).
Water proof storing devices for explosive caches
This will prove to be more challenging. Try to get a hold of water/moist-proof
crates with protective shells and store it in an outhouse, underground or any
other appropriate location depending on quantity.
Buy 2(3) water/moist proof storage cases
I spent approximately 12 hours researching various waterproof storage cases and
ended up with three suitable alternatives; Pelican cases (US) and Explorer cases
(Italy). I found Pelican cases to be the most viable option as a majority of
models are available at significantly reduced prices through Ebay.
You want at least two containers - one for your weapons, one for your armour and
alternatively, one secondary weapons/armour/equipment container. Considering the
fact that you are going to store these two (three) cases underground (dug down
1-2 metres below the ground), the cases must be water and moisture proof and
must be able to protect the equipment even after being stored for up to 2 years
with temperatures which will vary from down to -20 to 5 degrees Celsius.
Pelican cases are very suitable in this regard and they are considered to be one
of the world's toughest watertight protective cases.
Specifications – all Peli cases
o
The cases are made out of a Polypropylene copolymer material that is light
weight, durable and highly chemical resistant.
o
There is an o-ring in the lid and a Gore-Tex membrane in the pressure
equalization valve that keep water out of the case.
o
Automatic pressure-purge valve. The Pressure Equalization Valve is a simple
device. It consists of a housing with a hole through it that is covered with a
thin Gore-Tex membrane. According to the Gore-Tex sheet: “The microporous
expanded polytetraflouroethylene (ePTFE) membrane continuously allows the free
passage of gases and vapours, equalizing the pressure differential between the
enclosure and ambient before it builds to the point that a seal is compromised.
Water, dust and dirt are repelled by the hydrophobic membrane, thereby
protecting expensive and sensitive equipment”.
o
The o-ring is made of EPDM or Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer. It is well known
for its excellent ozone, weathering and aging resistance. It also has excellent
water and steam resistance, maintains its flexibility at low temperatures,
features excellent resistance to alkalis, acids and oxygenated solvents and is
very colour stable. EPDM is found in a wide range of applications and is
excellent for use outdoors.
o
The cases will withstand temperatures from -23.3ºC (-10ºF) to +98.9ºC (+210ºF)
o
Neither dust nor water can penetrate this barrier and all Pelican cases are
absolutely airtight.
The following models will suit your needs:
Weapons container (W)
One of the longest assault rifles, the AK 47, is 89 cm in length so you want a
container which is at least 100 cm. Also, the same container will be used to
store your secondary weapon, clips, red point aim and ammo so the storage
capacity of the container needs to fulfil those storage requirements.
Review of Pali cases: green indicates optimal size, blue is appropriate while
red indicates an unsuitable size.
Peli 1720: 107 cm length x 34 width x 13 depth (optimal for W)
Peli 1780: 108 x 56 x 38 (optimal for T)
Peli 1750: 128 x 34 x 13 (too large but ok)
Peli 1740: 104 x 33 x 31 (high depth but ok)
Peli 1700: 91 x 35 x 13 (too small)
Peli 1730: 86 x 60 x 31 (too short)
Peli 1770: 138 x 39 x 22 (too large)
Armour container (A)
You will need sufficient room for a complete set of body armour parts, police
insignia, including a small to medium bullet proof shield and a bullet proof
helmet with vizier. You should also have enough room for melee weapons and a
flame thrower in case your fail to complete your mission involving the
acquirement of a conventional WMD.
Peli 0370: 61 x 61 x 57 (very good, extra protection not needed though)
Peli 0500: 88 x 46 x 64 (same as above)
Peli 1630: 73 x 55 x 38 (very good, minus depth)
Peli 1640: 60 x 60 x 35 (very good, minus depth)
Peli 1660: 74 x 52 x 44 (optimal but too large to ship for USPS)
Peli 1690: 78 x 65 x 39 (very good)
Peli 1610: 56 x 43 x 27 (appropriate)
Peli 1620: 56 x 43 x 32 (appropriate for A)
Peli 1780: 108 x 56 x 37 (appropriate)
Peli 1730: 86 x 60 x 31 (not deep enough)
Peli 1770: 138 x 39 x 21 (not deep enough)
Peli 0340: 45 x 45 x 40 (too small)
Peli 0350: 50 x 50 x 47 (too small)
Peli 1550: 48 x 36 x 19 (too small)
Peli 1560: 51 x 38 x 23 (too small)
Peli 1600: 55 x 42 x 20 (too small)
Peli 1650: 72 x 44 x 26 (too small)
I ended up ordering a Peli 1720
(with foam) for weapons, a Peli 1620
(without foam) for armour and a Peli 1780 (without foam) as a secondary
weapons/armour/equipment cache. These three cases would cost me a total of 2250
Euro if I purchased them from a local store (or 1500 Euro if I ordered them from
the UK). Since I ordered them through Ebay (a seller in Cali, US) I managed to
all three items (new) for only 630 Euro including shipping.
You should add a couple of desiccant silica gel packs in each case (a crystal
that absorbs moisture) before you bury them and perpahs wrap each container in
plastic:
Peli Desiccant Silica Gel (retail for 5 USD each, Ebay is your friend)
Peli Desiccant (Silica/Gel) absorbs dampness, prevents condensation from trapped
air. This is a neat self-contained desiccator you can put in your case, to
remove moisture from the air.
“The third equipment cache (T)”
“The third equipment cache” is in reference to an optional third storage depot
which should contain a primary and a secondary weapon with silencer/red point
aim, 1-3 shock/splint grenades, armour penetrating ammunition, primary body
armour, nutrients and stimulants (food/1-2 litres of water and a “camel back” to
carry it in/1-2 Red Bulls, 2-3 Stack/ephedrine pills), 1000-5000 Euros, basic
survival equipment: stop-watch, lighter, knife, compass and a good map of the
county/area/country in case you need to travel through forests to avoid
potential road blocks. You may have to sleep under the stars for a couple of
nights so consider adding a small, compact sleeping bag with some water
protective material which will allow you to create an improvised tent. You must
also include a back pack which will allow you to carry the above equipment and
warm clothing/a disguise (a police uniform with forged police insignia/ID,
mustache, glasses and a police cap/hat). If you encounter anyone it will be easy
to explain that you are in pursuit of the suspect (the news story which explains
that “you have escaped” will therefore act to your benefit as it will give
credibility to your “cover story”. This equipment/gear will allow you to get to
safety so that you may be able to execute the bonus mission, in a scenario where
you manage to escape from prison. You must also remember to properly conceal a
shovel close to the storage location as you will use it to dig up the actual
container when the time comes.
This depot is intended to work as a cache in a scenario where the Justiciar
Knight survives his operation and where he faces apprehension and subsequent
incarceration. When incarcerated, the Justiciar Knight should do everything in
in his power to escape from prison. If he succeeds, he may initiate a “bonus
operation” which consists of the assassination of 3-5 primary category B
traitors/multiculturalists. Prior to his arrest he must acquire at least basic
intel on his targets (picture, address, full name) so that he may execute his
operation in a timely and professional manner (the 3-5 executions combined
should take no longer than 1-3 hours). After the escape from prison and after
the equipment is retrieved; the Justiciar Knight will expropriate a vehicle from
a civilian and initiate his mission (if you fear there are road blocks you may
want to sleep camp in the forrest for 1-2 days). It is essential that the
Justiciar Knight memorises the intel and container location prior to
apprehension.
As for selecting the location for the container; you may want to consider
choosing a storage location in close proximity to your country's most
secure/high tech prison facility. This advice may however be counter productive
as the system protectors of your country will acquire this intel and may
implement counter measures. When incarcerated, the Justiciar Knight should
publish his execution list on his blog (through his communications proxy on his
support page/Knights Templar page) – 5 names. However, it must be noted that the
publishing of the names is a PR stunt which is intended to influence the given
individuals politically. As such, the 5 named category A or B traitors should
not be hardened Marxists (as it is not realistic to influence them as they are
often willing to die for Marxism) but rather suicidal humanists or career
cynicists. This way, the publication of the names is likely to influence the
individuals which may result in them officially changing political standpoints
or resigning from office. This way, the Justiciar Knight through this very
effective media stunt, is able to influence national politics in a positive way
from the inside, prior to his escape. The published list of 5 names should
include a disclaimer which explaines that they may be taken off the list if they
denounce their multiculturalist/pro-Islamisation views. The true list should not
contain these listed individuals as they are likely to be placed under armed
police guard shortly after the point of your escape. Approximately 10-20 of our
most attractive targets in given country are likely to be under armed police
guard so choose 5 targets that are not likely to be selected for armed
protection. The actual 5 targets may be any category A or B
traitors; hardened influential Marxists, or multiculturalist career
cynisists or suicidal humanists.
End note: to any prison guard, police officer or other law enforcement officer
reading this; know that it is your duty to indirectly facilitate any and all
Justiciar Knights (look the other way when the time comes, blame incompetence or
ignorance). You should know by now that we, the patriotic Justiciar Knights, are
fighting the good fight, YOUR FIGHT, for you, so that you and your family may
have a chance to live in a future society that is not suffering under or is
controlled by Islam. If you contribute to the persecution or apprehension of a
Justiciar Knight, know that you are not only betraying your country, your
people, your culture, your identity and your ancestors. You are betraying your
self and your children as well! So when the time comes, look the other way. That
is all we ask.
Cache locations:
These portable cases should be dug down in locations where you will have access
to them (not necessarily easy access). Location should be in the most deserted
location possible, optimally where no one is allowed to walk freely (national
parks – private forests, areas with limited access and where there are few metal
detector enthusiasts). Save the encrypted GPS coordinates for each location at a
safe place (not in your home/safe house).
Tips for securing a case underground/creating an underground cache:
Estimate at least one full day, preferably two full days. You’re going to be
completely exhausted after 5 hours of hard labour so it is better to budget two
full days. Just remember to cover the site properly after day one.
Bring the following gear:
Solid digging shovel (rectangular shovel heads won’t do), saw (for cutting
underground roots if needed), large backpack, compass, GPS (optional, depends if
you are 100% certain you will remember the location or not), pen/paper, proper
clothing and boots (Skins compression leggings + long sleeve worked great),
mosquito net/oil, at least 3 litres of water, enough food, 4 x 4 meter plastic
cover to store the unearthed dirt on (this is also important in relation to
covering your tracks), working gloves (to avoid blisters and to dig by hand in
certain contexts if needed), a knife and a large plastic bag to cover the case
before you refill the hole.
Additional tips:
-
For Justiciar Knights in countries who lack large desolate forests (basically
every European country, the UK and Ireland included) you should dig during night
time (from dusk until dawn) in a national park to ensure privacy. Choose
weekdays instead of weekends as many people are hiking on Friday and Saturday.
Also, you should try to select a site far from any trail as there are many
hikers with dogs. Also, keep in mind that most metal detectors has a limited
range of 1 metre so choose your location carefully. It is critical that no one
sees you during this process as it would be an invitation to loot your dig site
at a later point in time. If you are spotted before you are able to conceal the
site, you basically have to cancel the digging operation, retract your load and
start the process all over again at another site.
-
You don’t have to necessarily dig vertically. It can be time conserving to dig
semi-horizontally if the terrain allows it (this was actually what I ended up
doing to save time).
-
Budget at least 1 full hour for the “concealment phase”. It is ESSENTIAL that
you cover your tracks properly: compress the dirt you are refilling (by applying
pressure with your boot) to avoid unevenness in the soil after the first
rainfall. Then, conceal the dig site with leaves and branches in a natural
looking way.
-
Finally, re-bend the branches and bushes you might have bent during the process
Nevertheless, I’m still concerned that somehow water will break the air tight
rubber seal on the case as it is currently underground, but I rest assured that
the Pelican guarantees are correct.
Storing and securing of other incriminating information/items
You should never be in possession of incriminating information, plans,
schematics etc. Memorise vital information to avoid being in the possession of
”physical evidence”. Consider getting an “electric
hard drive destruction device”. Bashing your “hd” with a sledgehammer or
submersing it in liquids will not suffice. You must do everything possible to
avoid being in possession of critical communications or other material.
Electronic information you need access to at one point should be stored in
mobile storage pins and extremely well hidden. At one point or another you will
be in possession of incriminating items or information. Make sure that you
immediately relocate these items/electronic information to external safe caches
which can not in any way be linked to you (if they are discovered). Avoid
leaving fingerprints or dna on such items if possible.
Preparing explosives
Once you have all necessary components in order to create the explosive devices
plan ahead of the launch date. Budget a set amount of days for the assembly of
the bomb prior to the day of operation. F example; day of operation is February
7th on a Monday. Plan ahead and make sure you have sufficient time to
assemble the bomb.
You should have a lock-up garage or another appropriate ”safe location” for
preparing and arming the explosive devices. Optimally, it should not be the same
location as you use for storage of other equipment.
Making a test device
You need to make a test device (mini-bomb) to ensure that you have understood
all processes and to test the materials/components you have gathered/made. The
test version should not exceed 50 kg. Find a remote area far away from any city
(police station, road cameras etc). Detonate, inspect the location (gather up
any wires etc, conceal the “whole” if possible) and get away from the location
as fast as possible. You should plan an advanced exit strategy.
Providing equipment – weapons, ammunition, armour and explosives
In preparation of operations the gear and equipment will be gradually acquired
as it will be difficult to acquire everything on demand. This process can take
from 2-24 months depending on the desired equipment.
Weapons, ammunition, armour
There are two different approaches you can use when attempting to aquire
weapons/armour/explosives. Using other European nationalist organisations or
using criminal networks. The most pragmatic approach would probably be by using
the latter. The reason is that many nationalist organisations are thoroughly
monitored by National Intelligence Agencies. The approach you wish to go for is
entirely up to you. Be prepared for some failures when pursuing this mission (if
you don’t have any contacts).
End note: It is possible to buy certain armour through Ebay and similar
services. Keep in mind though that it is often not allowed to sell “complete
armour” so you have to buy carriers (empty vests with no plates) from one
provider and plates (metal, ceramic or Honeywell Goldflex plates from a separate
supplier. These plates are often sold as 25 x 30 cm. You should try to get
larger if possible and you should choose at least III3 plates (protects against
most threats with the exception of riffle shots and greater) or III plates
(protects against riffle shots) plates. There are a lot of options out there.
Trauma plates (placed behind the ballistic plates), and even ballistic shields
and ballistic helmets with visors are also occasionally available. Just check
thoroughly over a period and you should be able to find new items and second
hand items. You may also use certain mercenary stores which should offer many if
not all items. You may have to create a cover in order to use certain providers.
You may have to design your own armor by redesigning existing second hand items
in combination with ballistic plates (you should have more protection than 2
plates, which should include leg, shoulder, arm, neck protection). I cannot give
more insight at this point due to the fact that I have not started the
weapon/armour acquirement phase. Be very careful when ordering through the
postal service as they may check the packages on delivery and send a warning to
the authorities in a worst case scenario.
Travel to any Western or Eastern European major city. If you are a French
citizen f example, keep in mind that you want to avoid any interaction with
groups in your own city as your local police force might be able to identify you
and cross reference you with watch lists. Your national police force has many
informants among criminal networks and/or nationalist orgs so avoid your own
country as base for acquiring equipment. You might consider avoiding your
neighbouring country as well (depending on your country of origin ofc) as
individuals can identify your nationality or identity. If your nationality is
uncovered and the information passed on to the local police department, they can
risk being identified (by using customs info/air line etc). If possible,
purchase a fake id (passport, bank ID or drivers licence) in your own country
and use it if you need to deceive anyone abroad. Never carry both id’s on you at
the same time (during any arms transaction). Never travel by plane. Rent a car
in your country and drive to your destination.
If you are unsuccessful in acquiring the desired equipment and are getting
desperate you can try contacting Nationalist organisations in the following
countries:
Serbia
Russia
(Armenia)
Using criminal networks
Approach criminal networks cautiously and try to locate a local black market
arms dealer. Present yourself as a gun collector. You might want to use a middle
man/straw man for the actual transaction (a local drug dealer or any suitable
individual and compensate him with a fixed or percentage based fee. Attempt to
complete a “test transaction”, in order to verify your intermediary’s level of
trust. Be prepared for the worst, do not carry large cash amounts (many will
have nothing to offer and will try to rob, scam you). Do not reveal your
political convictions as many European criminals are Albanian Muslims. Criminal
networks usually have better equipment for sale than nationalist orgs. Try to
avoid Muslim criminal organisations if possible.
Make f example 4 separate transactions
Using nationalist organisations/individuals
Very often, one of these is willing to be an intermediary on behalf of you (if
he partly or fully supports your political ideology). Obviously, don’t tell any
potential NS that you are pro-Israel etc. as he might view you as a hostile.
Lodging and cover stories when travelling abroad
First of all, have a valid alibi (cover story) before visiting any specific
European target city. Preferably attend a conference of some sort which might
legitimise your stay (for post/present reasons).
Rent a hotel or apartment using your fake passport/id. Use your real id when
approached by public agents (customs included).
Buying illegal accessories online
Never buy or order online using your real address or name. If customs stops a
shipment, questions might be raised and you risk being put on a “security watch
list” which can compromise you at a later stage.
Do not use email, mobile phones or any technological device in any of the
transactions (as they are too easy to monitor). Use person to person approach or
a middle man.
Acquiring explosives materials
It will be necessary to gather together demolition materials for the destruction
of buildings or other static targets.
Large explosive devices (2000-5000kg) are made with high grade fertilisers
(ammonium nitrate) mixed with diesel (or more potent fuel such as jet fuel or
optimally nitromethane); today’s explosive of choice is semtex, dynamite, TNT,
Petn rdx, PETN (Pentaerythritol Tetrabitrate),
hydrogenperoksid, NM/HNO3, APAN.
NOTE: while writing this I have not yet initiated the research phase for
explosives so the above info is speculative on my part and I am unable to
provide details at this point.
The PCCTS, Knights Templar does not condone criminal activity in any way or form
as a general principle, as our goals are purely idealistic. However,
“expropriation of resources” may be tolerated during wartime as long as the
funds are used for the struggle and the targets are, preferably, defined as a
hostile entity or directly or indirectly facilitating a hostile entity.
Considering the fact that Europe is in the first phase of a civil war, we
actively seek the services of patriotic or apolitical criminal
syndicates/networks as it benefits our cause. Criminal networks that facilitate
us or any other National Resistance Organization are likely to be granted leeway
under a future regime. There will be “black markets” in every society whether we
like it or not. Criminal syndicates have existed since the Roman Empire and
groups will continue to exist in the future as well. The only thing that is
humanly possible to regulate is which players will be allowed to play and how
large the supplier side will be allowed to be.
If it comes to our attention that a certain criminal network is actively working
against us or any other resistance organization, an individual Justiciar Knight,
or is facilitating law enforcement agencies in their pursuit for Justiciar
Knights, that criminal network can rest assured that they will be completely
wiped out when the situation permits it sometime in the future, or when there is
a future regime change. A Justiciar Knight should never waste his energy on
“payback operations” against criminal networks, if he is unlucky enough to be
robbed or sold out to law enforcement. The correct way to approach the problem
is to focus on getting released, post a report about that specific network, and
continue on the primary mission. The Justiciar Knight may forward his “report”
to various nationalist networks where he asks that the given network/individuals
are flagged for anti-patriotic activities so that they may be black listed. A
criminal network with a bad reputation should be avoided.
Patriotic resistance movements will be positively inclined towards European
networks: certain networks of the Russian mafia, a majority of networks within
the Italian mafia, national networks and biker networks.
Networks that should be avoided: Muslim networks, Albanian mafia (Muslim), Rom
networks (these are already flagged for future termination).
A short risk analysis of various criminal networks
Russian mafia
Depending on which sub group you are dealing with, they can turn out to be
everything from apolitical Christian Russians to Islamist sympathising Chechen
criminals. Use extreme caution and try to avoid the Chechens.
Can provide: depending on group, everything from low quality weapons to high
tech weapons, armour penetrating rounds, chemicals used for chemical/biological
weapons, TNT, dynamite, semtex, jet fuel, nitro even nuclear components.
Certain organisations of the Russian mafia may prove to be valuable allies
especially in phase 2 when more complex cells and operations are required.
Biker gangs – 1%
The safest bet for acquiring weapons and certain components. A majority of biker
gangs are nationalist orientated (right wing). Only certain individuals in a few
European chapters (the largest ones) can provide quality weaponry and certain
other components. However, they can be given contracts to rob component depots
etc.
Albanian mafia
Although members of these groups are relatively apolitical it is generally
advised that Justiciar Knights avoid dealing with any Muslims. Muslim Albanians
are relatively ethnocentric/anti-European. They may try to rob you.
Muslim mafia (Pakistani, Turk, North Africa, Somalia etc.)
Although members of these groups are relatively apolitical it is generally
advised that Justiciar Knights avoid dealing with any Muslims. Muslim criminals
are usually quite ethnocentric/anti-kafr. A majority of them hate Europeans and
they may try to rob you.
European criminal network hubs - Czech Republic and Hungary
Central Europe and especially the Czech Republic and Hungary, are used as
centres for coordination, communication and conciliation between very powerful
international crime syndicates, which have managed to install their HQs of their
operations and gain access in the heart of the EU.
The Czech Republic is an economically and socially developed country in Central
Europe that has been facing for years serious issues relating with the
activities of organised crime. Local security authorities relay in their
reports, that they are facing some 100 organised groups in the country with at
least 3,000 members.
Alongside, other 5,000 people have auxiliary roles in these organisations which
are also staffed by accounting, legal and other professional functions.
Of all these criminal groups, 30 are integrated and internationalised, reaching
the gold standard of the "International Mafia" with diverse activities in many
countries around the world.
Local leaders of criminal networks are nationals of the former Soviet Union and
especially Russia, Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova. Also Croats, Serbs, Albanians,
Bulgarians, Romanians, Vietnamese and Chinese make up the majority of the
groups.
Top 10 criminal organisations are as follows (bold font indicates European
activity):
1. Solntsevskaya Bratva (Moscow, operates in Europe as well)
2. Yamaguchi-gumi (Japans largest yakuza organisation)
3. ‘Ndrangheta (Italy, Calabria)
4. D Company (India – ties to Islamists)
5. 14K (Hong Kong based Triad group but active intl, Europe included)
6. Sicilian Mafia (Italy)
7. Dai Huen Jai/Big Circle Boys (China - ex-nationalists)
8. Tijuana Cartel (Mexico)
9. United Bamboo (Taiwan Triad)
10. The US Mafia ‘The Five Families’ (US)
11. The Albanian Mafia (EU)
12. European biker gangs (1%)
1. Solntsevskaya Bratva/the Russian mafia (Russia, Europe)[1]
Moscow’s Solntsevskaya Bratva, known as the Brotherhood, have just been named
the worst criminal gang in the world in a major survey. The Russian mafia is
involved in everything from stolen art to smuggling of high tech weaponry and
nuclear material. As of 1998, the Solntsevskaya gang contains around 5,000
members. The Brotherhood maintains relationships with many legitimate
businesses, offering these groups ‘protection’ the gang also assist the
businesses when it comes to not-so-legal matters.
Sub groups of the Russian mafia
Dolgoprudnenskaya
(Долгопруденская) was a Russian mafia organisation and was considered one of the
largest groups of organised crime operating in Moscow. It was really named after
Dolgoprudniy, which is a Moscow suburb. It was founded in 1988 and was allegedly
very influential.
The Izmaylovskaya gang
(Russian: Измайловская группировка, from Izmaylovo District) was considered one
of the country's most important and oldest Russian Mafia groups in Moscow and
also had a presence in Tel Aviv, Berlin, Paris, Toronto, Miami and New York
City.[17] It was founded during the 1980s under the leadership of Oleg Ivanov
(Олег Иванов) and was estimated to consist of about 200 active members
(according to other data of 300–500 people). In principle, the organisation was
divided into two separate bodies—Izmailovskaya and Gol'yanovskaya
(Гольяновская),[18] which utilised quasi-military ranks and strict internal
discipline. It was involved extensively in murder-for-hire, extortions, and
infiltration of legitimate businesses.
The Tambov Gang
(Тамбовская банда) of Saint Petersburg.
The Obshina
(Община, "community" in Russian), or Chechen mafia, was a formidable organised
crime and paramilitary group. According to experts, ethnic Chechen criminal
gangs once formed the most dominant minority criminal group in Russia. It is
believed some gangs may have ties to Chechen militant factions
11. The Albanian Mafia[2]
The Albanian Mafia (AM) or Albanian Organised Crime (AOC) are the general terms
used for various criminal organisations based in Albania or composed of ethnic
Albanians. Albanian criminals are significantly active in the European Union
(EU) countries, participating in a diverse range of criminal enterprises
including drug and arms trafficking. Although the term "mafia" is often used as
a description, it does not imply that all Albanian criminal activities are
coordinated or regulated by an overarching governing body headquartered in
Albania proper, Kosovo, Republic of Macedonia or elsewhere.
Albanian organised crime has its roots in traditional family-based clans called
Fis. It heavily valued loyalty to one's clan and trust, or besa.
Each clan ruled over and controlled a certain area. It is these principles of
kanun that gave rise to Albanian organised crime today, and make it more
difficult for Albanian gangs to be infiltrated by law enforcement. Albanian
criminals are said by police to be involved in everything from arms-smuggling to
counterfeiting. But it is drug trafficking that has gained Albanian organised
crime the most notoriety. Some Albanians are key traders in the "Balkan
connection," the Istanbul-to-Belgrade heroin route and is therefore challenging
the Russian mafia.
A very limited number of studies have tackled certain aspects of ethnic Albanian
criminally in a methodical manner. In the latest report of the United Nations,
it is said that the "Balkans are safer than Western Europe" and that "At
present, the levels of crime against people and property are lower in the
Balkans than elsewhere in Europe". The phrase; don’t shit in your own back yard,
comes to mind.
The ethnic Albanian mafia is very powerful and extremely violent. If you compare
them to the Italian Mafia, the Albanians are stronger and not afraid of killing.
Activity in the UK
Albanian mafia gangs are believed to be largely behind sex trafficking,
immigrants smuggling, as well as working with Turkish gangs who control the
heroin trade in the United Kingdom.
Vice squad officers estimate that "Albanians now control more than 75 per cent
of the country’s brothels and their operations in London’s Soho alone are worth
more than £15 million a year." They are said to be present in every big city in
Britain as well as many smaller ones including Telford and Lancaster, after
having fought off rival criminals in turf wars.
Activity in Scandinavia
Albanian mafia clans in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are suspected of being
involved in arms smuggling, prostitution, heroin smuggling and armed robberies.
Ties to Islamists
It is a well known fact that the Muslim Albanian mafia facilitated the Muslims
in the resistance against the Christian Serbs.
A Justiciar Knight should only deal with Albanian Mafia as a last option.
Although most of them are Muslims, they are generally apolitical. However, if
they identify you as being a nationalist or a Crusader they may kill you.
12. European biker gangs (1%)
Some motorcycle gangs engage in criminal activity known as the one percenters.
Besides their connection with motorcycles, criminal motorcycle gangs are "unique
among crime groups in that they maintain websites; identify themselves through
patches and tattoos; have written constitutions and bylaws; trademark their club
names and logos; and have publicity campaigns aimed at cleaning up their public
image. What makes a gang like them different from the Mafia is that crime and
violence are not used as a expedients in pursuit of profit, but that the
priorities are reversed. Mayhem and lawlessness are inherent in living "The
Life," and the money they obtain by illegal means is only wanted as a way to
perpetuate that lifestyle.
The typical internal organisation of a motorcycle club consists of a president,
vice president, treasurer, secretary, road captain, and sergeant-at-arms.
Localised groups of a single, large MC are called chapters, and the first
chapter established for an MC is referred to as the mother chapter. The
president of the mother chapter serves as the president of the entire MC, and
sets club policy on a variety of issues. Larger motorcycle clubs often acquire
real estate for use as a clubhouse or private compound. These clubs often have
security features such as closed-circuit television monitors, motion detector
lights, and barbed wire-topped fences.
Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs are typically racially homogeneous, and can be racially
exclusive. For example, membership in the Hells Angels is not open to
African-Americans or Hispanics, which has led to creation of rival
clubs such as the Bandidos and the Mongols Motorcycle Club. MC members are not
usually referred to by their given names, but instead refer to each other by
nicknames, or "road names", sometimes even displaying their road name on the
club vest. Pagans, Hells Angels, Outlaws MC, and Bandidos are known as the "Big
Four”. The main characteristic of OMGs being "amoral individualism" in contrast
to the hierarchical orders and bonds of "amoral familism" of other criminal
organisations such as the Mafia.
Hells Angels, Bandidos, Outlaws, Warlocks - Europe
Criminal activities include drug trafficking, arms trafficking, conspiracy,
extortion, murder, money laundering, trafficking in stolen property, witness
tampering.

and illegal activities.

General info about the UK criminal networks
UK dominated by British families despite influx of foreigners
An intelligence map drawn up by the leading police expert on organised crime
identifies more than 1,000 active criminal networks and shows that gangland is
still controlled by British families, despite the influx of crime syndicates
from Eastern Europe and South-East Asia over the past decade. British gangs are
quite unlike the Italian Mafia model or the Turkish groups. There are no set
ranks, rules and structures. They are more fluid, flexible and opportunist. The
intelligence picture was built up by Acpo working with the 43 police forces in
England and Wales and other bodies. More than 15,000 individuals are said to
have been identified as involved in organised crime. London has more than 170
gangs. Some have sophisticated hierarchies; others are little more than
street-level groups.
In Liverpool, criminal networks are deeply embedded and run by a number of
families whose tentacles spread well beyond the city. Merseyside criminals
control the drug trade on the South Coast.
Manchester has established gangs such as the Longsight Crew and the Gooch Close
Gang, while Birmingham has been dealing for years with the rivalry between the
Johnson Crew and the Burger Bar Boys. Bradford is a centre for money laundering
and a major distribution point for heroin by British-Pakistani gangs.
Serious crime in Nottingham has been dominated by the Gunn family. Glasgow is
the hub for the distribution of firearms in Scotland and the starting point for
much of the heroin trade, which spreads as far north as Shetland.
Many foreign gangs active in Britain are based overseas and exploit the
11,000-mile coastline and security weaknesses at sea ports to smuggle drugs,
guns and counterfeit goods into the country. Much of the media coverage of gangs
has concentrated on turf wars and feuds, but serious criminal activity is
focused on making money.
Career criminals prefer to work together when they have common interests. They
will form loose coalitions, sharing their specialist skills in pursuit of the
highest profit with the least risk.
Organised crime is driven by profit. Some 60 per cent of criminal groups are
involved in drug trafficking, but many are multi-commodity organisations. If
they can traffic drugs they can also smuggle counterfeit goods or weapons. They
often form loose, amorphous coalitions - coming together for a particular
venture, perhaps one group needs a skill which another specialises in.
A recent investigation in London uncovered an arms deal in which a Lithuanian
gang had been trading handguns in return for an introduction to Colombian
cocaine contacts. Another inquiry broke up a sex trafficking ring run jointly by
Lithuanian, Albanian and Chinese criminals.
There are Mr Bigs, but the person you start out thinking of as the Mr Big is
quite often not. These are people who are flying below the radar and you may not
realise who they are for a long time. Significant criminal activity is being
driven from within prisons.
All criminal groups are prepared to resort to violence when necessary to commit
robberies, enforce protection rackets or secure drug deals. Firearms, which are
seen as a tool and a statement of intent, are a priority. Some networks, notably
newly arrived groups from Lithuania, have been established to service that
demand.

You will need access to a computer with internet connection to use as propaganda
outlets before your operation. If you are a solo cell you will have to find a
good work around (considering you won’t be able to distribute any
”announcements” during or after an operation). Consider using a laptop which you
will hook up to an external network for this purpose (use the Tor
network/Ipredator). Many metropolitan areas have LAN zones where you can simply
go and connect to the internet (allowing you to distribute your announcements).
Optimally, you will send your announcements only seconds before you initiate the
operation. In addition, you should carry an announcement on a memory pin during
the mission. However, this should not be the only means of distributing your
message. The people who will find this pin are working for the enemy and thus
they will use any means necessary to discredit or undermine the purpose of the
mission (by f example falsely crediting it to another organisation). You should
also consider semi-shady spam centrals as an alternative. F example, you can
arrange and pay for online services which involve the distribution of files at a
set time. The files sent can be encrypted or disguised as something else. The
risk here though is that the company or individual sending the files may read or
get access to the information and may alert authorities. However, the forwarding
of these files (which is to be re-distributed by that company/individual) can be
done seconds before the initiation of the operation.
The smartest method however is to download the announcement in your Iphone or
similar mobile device. Just before you engage, send your announcement to f
example 10-500 pre-organised email addresses from your Iphone. It might be a
good idea to turn your phone off afterwards to prevent them from triangulating
your position after engagement.
1.
Always mask your real goals, by using the ruse of a fake goal that everyone
takes for granted, until the real goal is achieved. Tactically, this is known as
an 'open feint'; in front of everyone, you point west, when your goal is
actually in the east. By the time everyone realised it, you have already
achieved your goal.
Usage:
In the Second World War, the Allies' Operation Quicksilver created a phantom
army in Kent complete with faked radio chatter which divided German attentions
regarding the actual Allied armies and their intended objective of the Normandy
landings.
Usage:
a.
Call in a fake threat on Building x, letting them know that you intend to blow
up the building if they attempt to evacuate the people.
b.
Give the impression to police authorities that you are after cash, a few million
Euro. Tell them to prepare the funds and order them to make a delivery at a
defined location and time. This may allow you to conceal your real objective for
a while. If the Police believe you are just another criminal after cash they
will generally avoid armed confrontation and instead attempt to arrest you at a
later point. If you however, inform them that you have no intention of coming
out of the situation alive they will throw everything at you immediately. Deceit
is the best approach.
c.
Another strategy would be to consider making use of a remote detonation, burning
car, or other forms of arson to attract attention to one location. Ensure that
the enemy forces are heading for this location. By then, you will be on the
opposite side of town and in the middle of the process of finishing your primary
goal. This strategy might prove to be counter-productive in compact European
cities depending on the nature of the operation.
d.
If you are being pursued, move to primary target building (concentration of A
and B traitors) and during the assault, announce on the police band that you are
demanding a ransom and safe passage for sparing the hostages. Demand a fixed
amount and means of transportation from the area/country. All this, while you
continue execution of A and B traitors with your side arm (silencer). This may
buy you several seconds or even minutes while you continue your primary
objective.
2. Chameleon
Mask yourself. Either leave flamboyant traits behind, thus going incognito; or
just masquerade yourself and create an illusion to fit your goals and distract
others.
Usage:
a.
Create and wear a police combat uniform replica. Make serious efforts in
recreating credible insignias, ID and marks. Study media pics of SWAT agents
from your country. This will create confusion and hesitation when engaging
hostile agents and should buy you at least 1-2 extra seconds. These extra
seconds will give you the edge you need in order to neutralise any potential
threat (2 head shots). The police illusion will also act as a deterrent towards
preventing potential civilian charges.
b.
Vehicles (bomb trucks) - if needed, change the appearance of a vehicle in order
to allow you to easier infiltrate hostile environments. It’s amazing what tape
and some spray-paint can do. Easy and cheap solutions may fool someone from long
range but not in close range.
c.
Give the impression that your cell is larger by attempting to forward
misinformation on the police band or by other means.
3.
When the enemy is too strong to be attacked directly, then attack something he
holds dear. Know that he cannot be superior in all things. Somewhere there is a
gap in the armour, a weakness that can be attacked instead.
Usage:
The idea here is to avoid a head on battle with a strong enemy, and instead
strike at his weakness elsewhere. The Prime Minister may have several armed body
guards. This however is not the case with regular ministers. As for static
objectives, it can be smarter to focus on less ”armoured” targets. Instead of
the Parliament building or Royal Castle, other high value targets (with less
security) should be targeted.
4. Make a sound in the east, then strike in the west
In any battle the element of surprise can provide an overwhelming advantage.
Even when face to face with an enemy, surprise can still be employed by
attacking where he least expects it. To do this you must create an expectation
in the enemy's mind through the use of a feint.
Usage:
Same as 1. The idea here is to get the enemy to focus his forces in a location,
and then attack elsewhere which would be weakly defended. This might prove to be
counter-productive in compact European cities depending on the nature of the
operation.
5. Hide a knife behind a smile
Charm and ingratiate yourself to your enemy. When you have gained his trust,
move against him in secret.
Usage:
For assassinations or for intelligence gathering prior to a mission.
Infiltration of enemy organisations might prove an easy way to get close to
otherwise impossible targets (prime minister or ministers) or to learn their
programme. Getting a job at the youth camp connected to the largest political
party is one way of doing this. The prime minister usually visits during summer
season. Infiltration can take as long as 24 months.
6. Sacrifice the plum tree to preserve the peach tree
There are circumstances in which you must sacrifice short-term objectives in
order to gain the long-term goal. This is the scapegoat strategy whereby someone
else suffers the consequences so that the rest do not.
Usage:
Just like Jihadi warriors are the plum tree of the Ummah, we will be the plum
tree for Europe and for Christianity. The European people are the peach tree. We
are sacrificing ourselves so that future generations of Europeans may continue
to live in freedom.
7. Take the opportunity to pilfer a goat
While carrying out your plans be flexible enough to take advantage of any
opportunity that presents itself, however small, and avail yourself of any
profit, however slight.
Usage:
Expropriate cars and/or use Muslim or cultural Marxist/multiculturalist human
shields if needed.
8. Do not startle the snake by hitting the grass around it
Usage:
Do not break any laws which will lead to a pursuit before initiating your
primary mission. An imprudent act might give up your position or intentions away
to the enemy.
9. Borrow a corpse to resurrect the soul
Usage:
Take an institution, a technology, or a method that has been forgotten or
discarded and appropriate it for your own purpose. Revive something from the
past by giving it a new purpose or bring to life old ideas, customs, or
traditions and reinterpret them to fit your purposes. Solo-cell systems in
combination with martyrdom is the most efficient and deadly form of modern
warfare. This strategy was adapted by Jihadist groups. And now we will be using
it as well. It is even more valuable to us as we enjoy more ”invisibility” than
individuals who have Arabic/Asian appearance and customs.
10. In order to capture, one must let loose
Cornered prey will often mount a final desperate attack. To prevent this you let
the enemy believe he still has a chance for freedom. His will to fight is thus
dampened by his desire to escape. When in the end the freedom is proven a
falsehood the enemy's morale will be defeated and he will surrender without a
fight.
Usage:
A system protector who raises a gun against you must be shown no mercy. You can
be assured that he will regroup with other agents as soon as you let him go. He
will believe you may spare him and lower his gun if you defeat his unit (2 other
individuals). Use this opportunity to neutralise him.
11. Avoid the servant forces and go for the neck of their chiefs
Usage:
Very few of the servant forces (police/system protectors) are willing to
sacrifice their life for multiculturalism or for the continuation of the
Islamisation of Europe. In fact most of them sympathise with our goals (just not
our means). Therefore, avoid the servant forces at all costs and focus only on
high value targets. Many system protectors will falter or hesitate when pursuing
you (if they are aware of your intentions). They might even deliberately let you
proceed to your target.
12. Befriend a distant state while attacking a neighbour
It is known that nations that border each other become enemies while nations
separated by distance and obstacles make better allies. When you are the
strongest in one field, your greatest threat is from the second strongest in
your field, not the strongest from another field.
Otto von Bismarck made the League of the Three Emperors and treaties with the
British Empire and Italy in order to isolate France, from which he feared an
attack.
Usage:
Phase 3 strategy for creating European conservative hegemony.
13. Replace the beams with rotten timbers
Disrupt the enemy's formations, interfere with their methods of operations,
and change the rules in which they are
used to follow, go contrary to their standard training. In this way you remove
the supporting pillar, the common link that makes a group of men an effective
fighting force.
Usage:
Phase 1 urban warfare. You are wearing a police uniform and hand signalling to
“a fellow system protector”, then use ”Thrust of the Martyr” and neutralise them
without hesitation.
14. Make the host and the guest exchange roles
Usurp leadership in a situation where you are normally subordinate. Infiltrate
your target. Initially, pretend to be a guest to be accepted, but develop from
inside and become the owner later.
Usage:
This is the basic strategy of Islamic Demographic Warfare currently being waged
by the Global Islamic Ummah.
15. The Empty fort strategy
When the enemy is superior in numbers and your situation is such that you expect
to be overrun at any moment, then drop all presence of military preparedness,
act calmly and appear disrespect of the enemy, so that the enemy will think you
have hidden huge power and you want to trap them into the fort with your calm
and easiness. This has to be used when in most of the cases, you do have huge
power hidden under the disguise and you only play the real empty rarely. Use
this against people who are really smart
Usage:
If you are being pursued, move to primary target building (concentration of A
and B traitors) and during the assault, announce on the police band that you
want the police force to storm the building immediately (they will assume you
have rigged the place and hesitate). This may buy you several seconds or even
minutes while you continue your duties. All this, while you continue execution
of A and B traitors with your side arm (silencer).
16. If unable to retreat or to complete your mission, move on to the last
objective - die honourably in combat
Usage:
If it becomes obvious that your current course of action will lead to certain
capture, then assault their weakest flank (TotM). If completely surrounded, take
a hostage. If you are badly hurt and unable to make a last push, then use your
cyanide capsule.
Concentrate on massive and compact buildings that are vulnerable to a “single
source” blast/assault. We must ensure that a maximum number of category A, B and
C traitors are hit with a minimum of civilians. Specified targets fit that
profile:
Prioritised targets:
-
MA100 political parties - cultural Marxist/multiculturalist political parties.
Prioritised targets include HQs or annual meetings of MA100 political parties
-
Annual media conferences (concentrations of journalists, 500 journalists +)
-
Category A and B traitors (individual executions/assassinations)
-
Major EU HQ’s (Brussels or elsewhere in Europe)
-
Government buildings with high concentrations of category A and B traitors
-
Any major “cultural Marxist/multiculturalist” building
-
Any Western European state media channel HQ (cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
propaganda centers)
-
Any mainstream Multiculturalist media HQ (preferably left wing)
-
Certain university/college faculties; faculty
of journalism, sociology, political science. Also faculties housing
so called “diversity or middle eastern studies. These are notorious cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist nests for tomorrow’s leaders. Target
staff - professors/teachers/lecturers. Students are considered acceptable
indirect targets as f. example 95-99% of journalism students will support
multiculturalism indirectly/directly.
-
Any major Muslim target (f example a stadium or large hall hosting a cultural
event, where 2000+ Muslims are gathered). F. example during Id celebration at
the end of Ramadan. This will result in massive Muslim rioting across the
European continent which will be a substantial destabilising factor for many
EUSSR regimes. It will also serve us well as it will contribute to polarisation
and create further desired tensions within communities.
-
Mosques and Islamic cultural centers
Let there be no confusion. The European Islamic Ummah is our most potent weapon
in our fight against the establishment. Our objective in Phase 1 and 2 will be
to manipulate this force by contributing to radicalise Muslim individuals.
This can be achieved by provoking and inciting them to choose the path of Jihad
prematurely. The most efficient way of infuriating Muslims is to strike at their
most prized “possessions”, their women. Through deadly and strategic precision
attacks (pin prick attacks) we will incite them to engage in violent riots and
various forms of Jihadi activities prematurely. The media will have no choice
but to cover it, and by doing so contribute to radicalise more Europeans. This
spiral will polarise societies and more Europeans will come to learn the “true
face of Islam” and multiculturalism. Islamic and European reactions will then
escalate the situation (added catalysts) as more and more people will join both
cultural conservative movements and Jihadi groups.
The future of conservative movements is directly linked to the development of
Jihadi movements and/or Islam’s influence in Western societies. It’s a symbiotic
relationship.
Targets:
The best target will without a doubt be during Ramadan, especially the
Eid ul-Fitr (Id-ul-Fitr)
the Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan. It is celebrated starting on
the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal. There will usually be mosques
reserved for either males or females during these events.
Attacking female groups is the only pragmatic approach as many of their
husbands, sons, brothers and uncles would swear blood vengeance and subsequently
join Jihadist networks.
More controversial targets:
-
Major UN buildings in Western Europe – very tempting targets, but we should
consider the fact that we might enrage nations not involved at that point by
killing representatives from several “ally nations”. At the same time, these
operations will guarantee maximum press coverate (if this is a problem). The
first experimental target will confirm if these types of targets are suitable.
The international community might support a global “war on fascism” which might,
in a negative way, add to our already large list of enemies.
-
Historical government/parliament buildings (the first target will confirm if
these types of targets are suitable).
-
Royal castles etc. (should be avoided as a principle but can be targeted if the
building is used as a hub for guests of the cultural Marxist/ multiculturalist
regime or if massive PR is desired. The building should have lesser historical
or cultural value. It may anger many moderate cultural conservatives and might
prove counter-productive (the first target will confirm if these types of
targets are suitable).
Targets which should be avoided:
-
Historical buildings
-
Buildings and sites with an unacceptable ratio/number of civilians.

Public opposed to Islamisation in relation to successful Anti-Islamisation
parties
It has been found that in the country where the public is the most opposed to
immigration, Greece, there is no successful
Anti-Islamisation party,
but that in two of the three Scandinavian countries where the public is the
least opposed to Islamisation, there are such parties although moderate
versions.
France/Germany/UK
Merkel and Sarcozy are hesitant towards Turkeys EU membership and have slightly
altered their anti-Islamisation (de-Islamisation) efforts from ridiculously
suicidal to ”only” significantly suicidal. However, this does not exempt them
from their responsibilities as heads of state.
Only a significant political shift in either the UK, Germany or France can grant
them temporary ”immunity” from attacks.
Greece, Cyprus, Malta
The reason why Greece, Cyprus and Malta are still highly opposed to Islamisation
is naturally because these three Western European countries have suffered
unspeakable Islamic atrocities in the past. More than 500 000 Greeks died to
genocides committed by the Islamic Ottoman Empire/Turkey less than 100 years
ago. As for Cyprus, the Turkish invasion a few decades ago and the ongoing
occupation can’t be forgotten. As for Malta, they still remember when the
Islamic Ottoman Empire enslaved Gozo’s population a few centuries ago, in
addition to other attacks from the Islamic world.
The cultural Marxist/Multiculturalist Alliance (MA) of Western Europe ”MA 100”
MA100 is an abbreviation for the ”cultural Marxist/Multiculturalist Alliance
100”. The term who describes the current Western European political
establishment consisting of 100 political parties who indirectly or directly
support the Islamisation of Europe through their support for European
multiculturalism. These 100 political parties are also referred to as the
”Multiculturalist Alliance” or ”Eurabian alliance”. The following overview lists
all members in this ”unofficial” political
alliance. The overview lists every Western European political party who
directly or indirectly support the Islamisation of Europe and/or the
implementation of the EU’s Eurabia project through their support for European
multiculturalism.
For simplicity, only parties who have received more than 3% votes in national
elections are included.

Comment:
One of the countries which do not have
cultural conservative/anti-Islamisation
parties of significance.
The Immigration Control Platform is a
micro party.
“The nation is divided, half patriots and half traitors, and no man can tell
which from which.”
Mark Twain
This classification system is used to identify various individual cultural
Marxist/ multiculturalist traitors. The intention of the system is to easier
identify priority targets and will also serve as the foundation for the future
“Nuremberg trials” once the European
cultural conservatives
reassert political and military control of any given country.
Any category A, B or C traitor is an individual who has deliberately used his or
her influence in a way which makes him or her indirectly or directly guilty of
the charges specified in this document: 1-8. Many of these individuals will
attempt to claim ”ignorance” of the crimes they are accused of.
Category A traitor
-
Political leaders (NGO leaders included)
-
Media leaders (chief editors)
-
Cultural leaders
-
Industry leaders
Category A traitors are usually any current Heads of State, ministers/senators,
directors and leaders of certain organisations/boards etc. who are guilty of
charges 1-8. Category A traitors consist of the most influential and highest
profile traitors.
10 per 1 million citizens.
Punishment: death penalty and expropriation of property/funds
Category B traitor
Category B traitors are
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist politicians, primarily from the alliance of
European political parties known as ”the MA 100” (parties who support
multiculturalism) and EU parliamentarians. They can be elected and non-elected
parliamentarians, their advisors and any public and/or corporate servant who has
been and still are indirectly or directly implicated in committing the following
acts.
Category B traitors
can also be individuals from various professional groups (but not limited to):
journalists, editors, teachers, lecturers, university professors, various
school/university board members, publicists, radio commentators, writers of
fiction, cartoonists, and artists/celebrities etc. They can also be individuals
from other professional groups such as: technicians, scientists, doctors and
even Church leaders. In addition, individuals (investors etc) who have directly
or indirectly funded related activities. It’s important to note that the
stereotypical ”socialists”,
collectivists, feminists, gay and disability activists, animal rights activists,
environmentalists etc are to be considered on an individual basis only. Not
everyone who are associated with one of these groups or movements is to be
considered as a
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist.
Former category A traitors; Heads of State, Ministers/Senators etc., directors
and leaders of certain organisations/boards etc. can be re-classified as
category B traitors for practical targeting reasons (they have lost influence
and will not yield the same target value/effect as current category A traitors).
Certain ANTIFA leaders or organisers related to ANTIFA movements (and other
dedicated members) are considered category B traitors. Non-essential members are
considered category C traitors. Many professionals such as f. example
journalists, influential sociologists or university professors etc. are
considered and categorized as category B traitors as we consider them political
activists and not merely professionals. They will of course claim ignorance and
state that they are a-political. This strategy might work for them until the day
where they are visited by a Justiciar Knight - their judge, jury and
executioner.
1000 per 1 million citizens.
Punishment: death penalty and expropriation of property/funds. Punishment can be
reduced under certain circumstances.
Category C traitor
Category C traitors are less influential and lower priority targets (often
individuals who have facilitated category A and B traitors) but
who are still guilty of charges 1-8.
10 000 per 1 million citizens.
Punishment: fines, incarceration, expropriation (considered as acceptable
indirect casualties in larger operations where WMDs are involved).
Category D individuals
Category D individuals have little or no political influence but are
facilitating category B and C traitors and/or MA100 political parties/media
companies through various means. They are not
guilty of charges 1-8 but work with or for individuals who are. The
classification is of relevance when calculating/estimating indirect casualties
concerning larger operations where WMDs are involved, as any category D
individuals is not considered an innocent “civilian” but rather as a secondary
servant/facilitator.
20 000-30 000 per 1 million citizens
Punishment: none (not considered civilian)
Number of Category A and B traitors on Western Europe
There are approximately 400 000 category A and B traitors in Western Europe
using the current classification system (1010 per million).

This term can be used internally within any conservative military order (not
that any cell in Phase 1 should be larger than 2 individuals).
Temporary Immunity
(diminished emphasis)
”Temporary immunity” is abbreviated TI and the level of significance ranges from
1-3. F example: TI1 indicates insignificant anti-Islamisation principles
implemented, and where TI3 indicates considerable anti-Islamisation principles
implemented. This type of temporary immunity can be ”awarded” to cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist political parties, organisations and individuals who
have shown indications of policy shift.
-
TI1
Insignificant anti-Islamisation principles implemented (TI declined)
-
TI2
Some but minimal anti-Islamisation
principles implemented (TI declined)
-
TI3
Considerable anti-Islamisation principles implemented (TI granted)
No attacks should occur on TI3 candidates in phase 1. As for TI1-2 candidates,
even though immunity has not been granted, any Justiciar Knight should consider
other targets if possible. If there aren’t any equivalent targets which would
yield the desired result, then TI-1-2 targets would still be the logical choice.
If the policy shift is significant enough over a long period permanent status
change may be applied.
Focus Target
(added emphasis)
”Focus Target” is abbreviated FT and indicates targets who will yield added
results (high value targets) or can be used to flag ”unforgivable” political
parties, organisations or individuals who has or still are committing grave
crimes.
-
FT1
Above average crimes or above
average target/value
-
FT2
Higher…
-
FT3
Highest…
Every female category A, B, C traitor or system protector out there is someone’s
daughter, someone’s sister or mother. But then again, so are the victims of the
current systems, f example the girl who committed suicide after being gang-raped
by Muslims.
War isn’t pretty. It never has been. It is essential to know that approximately
60-70% of all cultural Marxists or suicidal humanist are female and up to 20% of
police officers and military personnel (system protectors). Being a Justiciar
Knight will involve killing our targets, or any system protector trying to stop
us, indiscriminately. You will face women in battle and they will not hesitate
to kill you. To them, you are just another armed criminal nut case as they will
not know your true political agenda until after you have been slain or are
apprehended. If you hesitate as much as a second due to the fact that your
opponent is female you will fail. You must therefore embrace and familiarise
yourself with the concept of killing women, even very attractive women.
It is not a secret that the average cultural conservative is a lot more
chivalrous than the average person. After all, extreme feminism is a Marxist
concept. As such, anti-Marxists usually have more traditional values and have
been taught to revere women as they are the ones who will carry our offspring,
the next generations. While being chivalrous is a good thing in ordinary
day-to-day life, it will undoubtfully be fatal in any armed confrontation. If
you are unable to think and act pragmatically and cynically you will most likely
get yourself killed or arrested. Hesitation and doubt will lead to confusion
which will severely endanger yourself and your operation. You have no choice but
to use logical cynicism on the field of battle.
If you are unwilling or incapable of killing women due to the principles of
chivalry you should probably steer away completely from the armed resistance
movements and should probably consider creating yet another right wing blog
instead.
On a personal level though; had it been up to me, women would not be encouraged
to become system protectors at all - police officers nor military personnel.
Females on average (of course; there are always exceptions) are physically and
mentally inferior (aprox 20-30%) on a field of battle. I am not comfortable with
the concept of killing females as they are simply too valuable to be put in
harm’s way. However, we have little choice under the current regimes as they are
encouraged and even positively discriminated against when applying to become
system protectors in many countries.
In any case, all armed resistance fighters really have no choice but to get used
to the idea.
Let us be perfectly clear; if you are unwilling to martyr yourself for the
cause, then the PCCTS, Knights Templar is not for you. On the other hand; if you
are too eager to die, then you will lack the patience required to succeed. A
balance between long term commitment, thorough planning and willingness to
sacrifice is the central aspect of our military order.
One of the great strengths of our enemies, the Western European cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist regimes is their vast resources and their advanced
investigation/forensic capabilities. There are thousands of video cameras all
over European major cities and you will always risk leaving behind dna, finger
prints, witnesses or other evidence that will eventually lead to your arrest.
They can also back trace your internet traffic in most cases and use
infiltrators or informers. They are overwhelmingly superior in almost every
aspect. But every 7 headed monster has an Achilles heel. This Achilles heel is
their vulnerability against single/duo martyr cells.
The average chance of getting away with an execution of a category A traitor is
less than 10% while being at aprox. 30% for a category B traitor. In other
words, don’t count on getting away with your actions and act accordingly. Since
we have no intention of getting away with our actions we emphasise on causing
maximum impact until we are physically prevented from continuing.
The nature of our extremely distributed hierarchy through clandestine cells
makes it very hard for them to stop these types of attacks, nearly impossible.
The main problem however is that we are not likely to get away from it without
being apprehended. There is currently no regime in the world who would accept
our plea for political asylum after a devastating attack against a Western
European regime. Serbia is partly under NATO occupation, Russia will not risk
boycott at this stage, Armenia and Israel are too dependent on the West. No
other regime would risk protecting or hiding us at this point in time as it
would be as suicidal as harboring Osama himself. No one should therefore sign up
as a Justiciar Knight unless he is prepared to sacrifice himself for the cause.
If you are caught, you will not see freedom again until the current regime is
replaced with a cultural conservative alternative. This will happen earliest in
2030 but can take as long as to 2070/80.
As a consequence of this reality, a Justiciar Knight does not put restraints on
himself.
You
put restraints on yourself because you think it’s still hope; hope to get out of
it alive or free. This leads to hesitation, reluctance, confusion, delay and
unnecessary danger and increases the risk of failure. The core strength of a
Justiciar Knight is that we accept the fact that we’re already dead. In a way,
this makes us partly immortal. How can we die when we are already dead? The
sooner you accept that, the sooner you will be able to function as a soldier is
supposed to function: without mercy, without hesitation, without compassion and
without remorse. All war depends upon it. Fear is poison in combat, something
everyone feels but try to suppress. If you allow fear to paralyze you, you will
fail. You cannot allow this as it is destructive and even contagious.
Have no doubt about it; you will get caught or you will die. Just get used to
that idea and you will finally be able to fully function as a fearless Knight,
as a devastating tool of war. Because only a truly fearless soldier carries
within him the ability to inflict massive ideological damage on any of the EUSSR
regimes.
The Ideological Journey - Knowledge is Power
Reading the compendium: 2083 – A European Declaration of Independence, provides
you with a large portion of the knowledge and education required to understand
why we, the cultural conservatives, fight and lists many of our goals and
intentions when we seize political and military power within a few decades.
Accepting your duties, embracing your destiny as a Justiciar Knight
See 3.65 Knights Templar Oath – Initiation Rite
This includes formally choosing the “Path of the Perfect Knight” which involves
embracing an ascetic lifestyle, agreeing to voluntary poverty and accepting
and swearing allegiance to the PCCTS, Knights Templar principles.
Preparation phases
1a. Financing phases
Length of phase:
6-12 months
Goal:
providing funding for your operation, anywhere from 30 000 to 200 000 Euro +
depending on your existing financial platform/job/career/education.
Work full time (preferably more) for 12 months to acquire enough capital to fund
your operation and to reach a scenario where you will have the possibility to
apply for and acquire credit card financing (multiple credit cards).
This phase may obviously be ignored if you have other sources of funding such as
real estate which can be converted into liquidity etc.
See: 3.25 for more information.
1b. Credit acquirement phase
Length of phase:
2 weeks to 2 months
Goal:
providing additional funding for your operation, anywhere from 10 000 to 100 000
Euro depending on several factors.
You will, under normal circumstances, need a good and credible income history
for the full previous fiscal year (Jan-Dec of that year) in order to be able to
apply for a high credit card limit for multiple cards.
Start the credit acquirement phase BEFORE you quit your job, as the credit card
company will need to be assured that you will have a stabile income for the
future.
This phase may obviously be ignored if you have other sources of funding such as
real estate which can be converted into liquidity etc.
See: 3.25 for more information.
2. Cover-acquirement phase
Length of phase:
1 month to 3 months
Goal:
to avoid suspicion (or to create a reasonable doubt) by creating credible covers
Create and establish credible and smart covers which will result in you avoiding
suspicion from relatives, neighbours and friends. This phase also includes
deliberate and gradual “de-socialisation” which means you will gradually isolate
yourself from your traditional social networks if you haven’t already done this.
See “Planning the operation” for more information.
Operational and preparation phases
3a. Physical training and various operational simulations
See 3.32 for more information. This is not an isolated phase but can be combined
with other phases.
Preparation period to 3b.
·
Buy 2-4 x Kingston DT Mini Slim USB pins
·
Buy a GPS receiver
·
Buy 2-3 water/moist proof storage containers, one for weapons and one for armour
(brand: Pelican)
·
Buy 3-5 hard drives (IDE or SATA depending on your PC)
·
All data on explosives, weapons and armour (transfer to new PC as you will use
it in research phase, discard everything else).
·
Destroy hard drives and discard all other sensitive data
·
Install new hard drive with programs
3b. Research phase (research weapons, armour, explosives)
Use Tor network (while following all Tor guidelines) or use an equivalent
service which will mask your PC/IP identity when browsing the net.
Alternatively, you can use an anonymous PC from a LAN network provided by Mc
Donald’s or any available commercial services as long as they do not require you
do ID yourself. The research phase may last anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months.
When done, save all explosives/trigger related data and weapon/armour related
data on separate USB pins (Kingston DT Mini Slim USB pins are excellent for
storage) and store the two USB pins at safe locations (not in your home). As you
are about to initiate your weapon/armour acquisition phase you will have to
print out essential information (which is too hard to memorize) on a sheet of
paper. Print out the data using letter size 4 (as small as practically possible)
and try to compress all data on one single sheet. You may have to eat the sheet
if anything happens so ensure that you have the info sheet close to you at all
times. Store the following USB pins at safe locations:
·
1 explosives/trigger USB pin x 1
·
1 weapons/armour USB pin x 1
Now, as you are done with your research phase you must destroy your hard drive
and replace it with a new one. To simply delete data from your disk is not
sufficient due to advanced recovery technology).
Preparation period to 3c.
Prior to the acquisition of weapons and armour you may want to create a cover
relating to this phase. Print and fill out the application forms to either your
military forces (foreign division) and/or to a foreign mercenary company (French
foreign legions or any private intl. security company). By deliberately having
the filled out forms “lying around”, you will create a reasonable doubt if you
ever get compromised during the following phase.
3c. Weapons and armour acquirement phase
You may order certain armour components from EBay (it is legal to order armour
as long as you order the armour plates and armour carriers (empty vests)
separately. However, be extremely careful when ordering online. Use FedEx as
often as possible as the public postal service usually have stricter customs
routines. Acquire the rest of the armour and the weapons/grenades from the black
market in your own country or in another European country. Remember to
acquire/replicate/create a police uniform with forged insignia. You may have to
learn sewing techniques and order a portable sewing machine (available for less
than 10 Euro on EBay). The weapons and armour acquirement phase may last
anywhere from 2 to 10 months.
When you have acquired all the weapons, armour and related gear, place all the
equipment in your Peli case and store it by digging it down in a deserted and
safe location of your choice. Remember to prepare the storage site before you
actually bring the equipment to the site. You may or may not want to use a GPS
tracker to correctly get the correct coordinates of your newly established
“weapons/armour depot”. Just ensure that the coordinates displayed on your
device is not in any way stored on your GPS tracker.
Preparation period to 3d.
You will have to rent f example a rural small farm (an urban garage may also
work in rare cases) which will be your explosives acquisition base. You will
also have to buy/rent a car. Consider renting a property at a remote location
where privacy is assured. The property must have a relatively large outhouse
where you are able to unload explosives components and store it if necessary. It
is not recommended that you store primary explosives and secondary explosives at
the same location as this may compromise your cover story in case of exposure.
3d. High grade explosives (+ trigger devices, jet fuel/nitro-methane)
acquirement phase
Primary explosive component
3e. Fertiliser acquirement phase
Secondary explosive component
Preparation period to 4.
As soon as you have all the equipment and components required for your operation
you may begin the final preparation phase. At this point in time you should
begin your steroid cycle (6 week cycle).
Operational phases
4. Assembly phase
During this phase you will retrieve all caches and build/assemble your
fertiliser based WMD (barrack buster). You must acquire the truck needed to
deploy your payload. You will be extremely vulnerable during this phase so
ensure that you complete it within 7 days. If you are compromised during this
phase you are obviously in serious trouble and risk life in prison so take all
precautions and arm yourself at all times. Surrender at this point is not an
option.
5. If apprehended during above phases, initiate plan B after acquittal
If you are apprehended during one of the above phases; use your cover(s) for all
they are worth and do not accept any plea bargains (reduced sentence in exchange
for admittance). The evidence required in order to generate a conviction is very
high for political motivated crimes so chances are you will be acquitted unless
you are arrested during the assembly phase. If you are acquitted or receive a
short sentence you can be certain that you will be on top of any and all
intelligence lists for the rest of your life (in your own country and even
abroad), making the acquirement of weapons/armour/explosives and execution of an
advance operation impossible. You must therefore disappear from the radar for a
while and initiate your “plan B” using your two securely stored weapon/armour
depots (this is the reason why we always store and secure primary weapons/armour
before acquiring explosives. See 3.46 for more information.
6. Initiation of your operation
This is the big day you have been looking forward to for so long. Countless
hours and perhaps years of preparation have rewarded you with this opportunity.
Equip yourself and arm up, for today you will become immortal.
Post-operational phases – propaganda and consolidation
7a. Apprehension
If you for some reason survive the operation you will be apprehended and
arrested. This is the point where most heroic Knights would call it a day.
However, this is not the case for a Justiciar Knight. Your arrest will mark the
initiation of the propaganda phase.
7b. Your trial offers you a stage to the world
See 3.63, 3.64 and 3.57-3.60
7c. Contribution to consolidation from the inside
In light of your newly acquired status as a living martyr for the cause, this
newly acquired influential position will allow you to significantly contribute
to further consolidation of either a national or pan-European Overseer
organization or the establishment of a national prison movement (preferably
political).
Alternatively:
7d. Escape from prison and initiate your “bonus operation”
If you established a “third depot” you may use this in order to execute your
bonus operation which will involve the execution of 1-5 category A and B
traitors of your choice.
See 3.33 for more information.
7e. A Perfect Knight fights even from the afterlife
They may physically kill a Justiciar Knight, but your name will be remembered
for centuries. Your story will be told to future generations which will
significantly contribute to the morale in the emerging Western European
conservative resistance movement.
See 3.61 for more information.
You will forever be celebrated by your people as a martyr for your country,
protecting your culture and fighting for your kin and for Christendom. You will
be remembered as a conservative revolutionary pioneer, one of the brave European
Crusader heroes who said; enough is enough, it is time to take back our
countries before our multiculturalist traitor elites actually manages to
finalize their agenda and sell us all into Muslim slavery. Your sacrifice will
be a great source of inspiration for generations of Europeans to come. You will
become a role model for hundreds, perhaps thousands of new emerging martyrs
fighting the good fight, our fight. And when we seize political and military
power in Europe within a few decades, it will be pioneers and historical
pioneers like you who will be celebrated with reverence. Revolutionary patriots
like the Justiciar Knights will then be celebrated as destroyers of Marxism and
the slayer of tyrants; the fearless and selfless protectors of Europe, The
Perfect Knights. For there is no greater glory than dying selflessly while
pro-actively protecting your people from persecution and gradual demographical
annihilation.
We are destined to win in the end, as our people, all Europeans, are gradually
waking up from their slumber and realising the deceitfulness and suicidal nature
of multiculturalist doctrine. We do not only have the people on our side, we
have the truth on our side, we have time on our side, we have the will of our
ancestors and the will of God on our side.
What does the multiculturalist Globalist-Marxist-Islamist alliance have? They
only have weak, decadent and gradually crumbling state apparatuses, the Quran,
the Communist manifesto and the power of short term greed on their side. It may
seem hopeless at times to fiercely assault a gigantic system as the EUSSR/USASSR
hegemony. However, it is important to remember that it is not OUR military
weight that will crush them during phase 1. We will use THEIR own weight against
them. Think of the current EUSSR/USASSR hegemony as a gigantic self loathing
monster who likes to cut itself. Ironically, they will provide a majority of
these cuts themselves. By sapping their will to fight (death by a thousand cuts)
through inflicting strategic economical, psychological and ideological damage,
they will eventually be crushed under their own bureaucratical weight which will
create a window of opportunity large enough for our brothers and sisters to
seize political and military power in all Western European countries in the
future. It is essential to understand that EVERY effort counts in this process
which is why all European patriots should contribute in one way or the other in
the coming decades. The bulk of the European patriotic forces (90%), must
prepare, consolidate, acquire weapons and armour while sitting idle and waiting
for that window of opportunity, a window of opportunity the Justiciar Knights
will contribute to create sooner rather than later.
This is the critical and essential mission we, the Justiciar Knights, have been
tasked with. This is why we are willing to martyr ourselves for the cause, for
the greater good of our people. Do not mourn us but celebrate us instead; and
celebrate all European patriotic martyrs who HAS fought and ARE still fighting
for you and for your family. Because after all; we are fighting for the freedom
of all Europeans. We must fight on behalf of our brothers and sisters because
the great majority of our women, the ignorant, the weak, the impaired, the
cowardly and the selfish are either unable or unwilling to fight.
“We want peace, and we are prepared to fight the most terrible war to get it.”
Shock attacks
Shock attacks - Assassination
It is much more rational and pragmatical to focus on the easier unprotected
targets instead of sacrificing good men on an impossible target.
The basis of our selection process is to choose the primary propagandists of
cultural Marxism/multiculturalism. Instead of wasting good men on an impossible
mission we should target unprotected category A and B traitors first and
foremost.
One of these 12 good men who failed to assassinate the US president could have
successfully managed to execute 5 or more unprotected primary targets doing
substantial and irreparable ideological damage to our enemies.
The following category A and B traitors should be focus targeted:
Cultural Marxist professors, leading anchor men/women of the cultural Marxist
MSM, NGO leader’s, professors/lecturers etc (see complete list under “charges
1-8”). The reason why we must choose wisely is because that there aren’t that
many of them and very few category A and B traitors have substantial influence
and make an incredible impact on how our societies are shaped. They are usually
experts or related to the field of sociology and give “well meaning advice” to
the MSM, which usually involves the deconstruction of everything we hold dear.
Multiple category B traitors assault operation – 5 targets within 2 hours
The operational goal should be to execute 5 category B traitors within 2 hours.
Plan ahead so you are prepared to assault 5 targets in succession. You will
usually always be caught so instead of going home and waiting for someone to
knock on your door move swiftly to your second target, then the third etc. Prior
to operation; create and wear a police SWAT uniform with visible and credible
IDs/insignias as this will allow you to travel with armour/weapons without
arousing suspicion. An operation consisting of 5 hits of primary category B
traitors should be completed within a pre-defined geographical area and you
should travel by car or motor cycle. The hit is performed using your secondary
weapon, gun with silencer. Your primary weapon is used against any system
protectors (police) trying to stop you after your first hit. 5 hits should take
no longer than 2 hours. If you still have the capacity/opportunity you can do a
bonus hit on a cultural Marxist HQ – media, NGO or a political party HQ where
there are high concentrations of category A, B and C traitors. A successful
operation (best case) would result in the execution of the pre-defined 5
category B traitors in addition to 10-20 “bonus targets” – a variation of
category A, B and C targets. Professors/lecturers are usually easy targets and
there is minimal security at universities/colleges. Just make sure you research
your targets thoroughly and know approximately where they are at any given time.
The challenge will be actually reaching and localising all 5 targets during this
2 hour window. Alternatively, you should consider arranging the hits after 18.00
when you know the targets are home with their families. This will also ensure
that significantly fewer individuals in the police reaction force are on duty.
For many European countries, depending on the location you select, the reaction
force may take as much as 30-40 minutes to reach your destination as they have
to arm themselves and travel to your location (at this point you will be at a
different location and should be working on your third target). Use your
creativity. When you ring their speaker phone outside the building of the
target; tell them that you are from the police intelligence agency and that you
have learned that they might be in danger and that you are there to escort them
to safety. You can f example choose a day when you know of a congress/meeting
where concentrations of category A, B and C traitors will attend. This should be
your bonus mission after your 5 hits. The essence in target management is to
achieve a scenario where you don’t sell your life cheaply, a scenario where you
inflict a maximum of damage on the criminal multiculturalist regime.
Include flame thrower/assault rifle/grenade attacks on party meetings, Annual
central party meeting,
Don’t go for the prime category A if the chances for success is slim or if the
security measures are overwhelming.
Annual political party meeting Barbeque
A prioritised target is the annual party meeting of the socialist/social
democrat party in your country. This is held once a year usually in a relatively
large conference centre. The annual political party meeting will consist of
delegate representatives from all counties in the country. The number of
participants will range from 100-400 depending on country and will usually be
held in the capital or close to it. The national intelligence agency/police
force will have from 2-50 armed guards at this annual meeting assuming the party
leader is the prime minister/president/chancellor. (I would assume 2-6 armed
guards for a small country like Norway and up to 50 for the UK, France and
Germany). I’m really not sure about specific numbers for the UK, France and
Germany. It might be considerably less – 5-10. The good thing is that the body
guards usually have limited armour (usually a vest only) and is therefore
vulnerable to head shots. An entry strategy has to be planned thoroughly and the
Justiciar Knight has to be properly equipped with solid body armour covering all
limbs.
An efficient plan will involve a flame thrower/assault rifle assault strategy
(an alternative primary weapon to the flame thrower would be to use a
sub-machine gun integrated into a shield). You should consider integrating the
flamethrower into a bullet proof shield. This will protect you completely from
all incoming projectiles from one direction (90-180 degrees depending on your
position). As soon as you enter the main conference room with all the delegates,
immediately initiate with throwing multiple grenades in various directions to
start a panic and follow up with flaming your targets in a 180 degree cone. Be
prepared for melee attacks from the individuals close to you when you first
enter the room (an agent is usually close to each entrance and may assault you).
The party delegates will flee like rats from the fire and will make it very hard
for the armed agents to get a lock on you for the first 10-20 seconds. They may
even panic themselves and run. Nevertheless, be prepared for incoming bullet
barrages and ensure that you keep a lookout for these agents’ position so you
can adjust your shield radius. You will not have a lot of fuel (only 20-40
litres’) so use it wisely and ensure that you hit as many delegates as possible.
An entry strategy might be to use fireman’s clothing when entering the building.
This allows you to conceal your armour and weapons under the fireman’s coat and
you may conceal your bulletproof vizier by partly cloaking it to mimic a
fireman’s helmet. You will probably
have to neutralise 1-2 agents on the way in so ensure to have a hand gun with
silencer with you. You cannot take the chance of risking detection prematurely
by allowing non-silenced shots.
If you’re going for the fireman entry strategy you may get away with bringing a
considerably larger fuel tank/torching mechanism (50-300 litre) on wheels
disguised as a mobile “fire extinguisher with hose” (obviously, this doesn’t
actually exist but most people do not know that).
Note - entry strategy: integrating defensive knives into your arm/shoulder
armour and a couple of other strategic places on your body armour may prevent
you from getting jumped initially (deterrent factor) or may at least contribute
to neutralise the first incoming attack before more individuals get a chance to
overwhelm you.
Note – target selection: if you know for sure that the ruling multiculturalist
party has many armed guards you can always target another party (second largest
party that supports multiculturalism). It is usually only the ruling party that
has any form of effective defensive measures while other party’s annual
political party meetings are often completely defenceless. If you notice that
the intelligence agencies are increasing the security substantially during
annual party meetings then consider other targets, such as the annual party
meeting on a city level.
Alternative approaches
An alternative approach would be to deploy mobile bombs at strategic places
outside the main entrance (perhaps even a car loaded with explosives) and then
trigger the fire alarm (block the other fire exits just in case). Just after the
bomb detonates, wiping out multiple delegates, you will finish the job with a
sub machine gun or flame thrower to ensure a maximum amount of casualties and
thus cause the most efficient terror effect.
Equipment, secondary weapons, armour and flame thrower
-
You must be able to hit targets 10 + metres away so you need an appropriate
flame thrower with a 10-200 litre tank. You can either get the blueprints for a
modern flamethrower and build one from scratch with the assistance from a
machine shop, or rebuild another apparatus (high pressure gun, or similar
civilian utility tools), or acquire an antique and make modifications. There are
several alternatives.
-
Full body armour with vizier
-
Consider bringing a bullet proof shield and perhaps even integrate it around
your flame thrower/sub machine gun.
-
Hand gun and assault rifle with enough ammunition.
-
Splint/shock grenades
-
Explosive devices rigged at exits prior to operation or a car loaded with
explosives.
-
Consider creating defensive devices/knives integrated/attached to your armour
(on your arms/shoulders/back) to avoid being jumped or to help neutralise any
individual that might jump you.
Preparations prior to the operation
You need to be familiar with the conference centre prior to the operation.
Therefore, you need to scout the premises a few months ahead. Create a fake
front (business/organisation/business plan) and contact the administration of
the conference centre. Use a fake profile as the intelligence agency may cross
reference previous visitors at a later point. F example say that you want to
rent the conference centre for a gaming convention and require a tour. In that
case, research what you need to know about the gaming community in your capital
etc. before you book the meeting with the conference centre employee. When you
are visiting the centre, memorise all exits/fire exits and doors, material and
closing mechanisms of doors (how can you close of the exit later on to limit the
exit opportunities for political delegates or how you can most efficiently rig
up mobile explosive devices in or close to these exits?).
End note
A severely burned category A or B traitor will in reality become a living symbol
of what awaits individuals guilty of trying to sell their own people into
Islamic slavery. They will act as a deterrent and contribute to spread fear in
the hearts of the rest of the traitors and will thus cause more ideological
damage than that of a dead body. He or she will become a living testament to
what will happen to any and all category A and B traitors and everyone will
learn that high treason is not without risks.
Category A, B and C traitors’ concentrations
Annual gatherings for journalists
There are annual gatherings for journalists in all Western European countries.
These gatherings are considered THE MOST attractive targets for large scale
shock attacks due to the amount and quality of category B traitors. To
illustrate; in Norway, there is an annual gathering called the SKUP conference
(the organization for critical and investigative press) where the most notable
journalists/editors from all the nations media/news companies attend (500
delegates - 98% of them are considered “quality category B traitor targets”. The
conference lasts for 2 days and is usually organized at a larger
hotel/conference center. Security is light or non-existent making the conference
a perfect target.
Overview:
·
Targets: a concentration of 500 category B traitors
·
Primary/initial assualt method: 1-3 source detonation (vehicle based “barrack
buster” covered with several layers of projectiles for maximum damage, f example
small steel projectiles)
·
Goal: collapse of building causing maximum casualties coupled with secondary
assault method
·
Secondary assault method: flame thrower, assault rifles, grenades, executing the
survivors of the initial blast(s).
Literature conferences and festivals
This is where many cultural Marxist/PC authors (the disgusting cultural Marxist
and traitorous bourgeois elite –
the Marxist-Leninists’ of the 68 generation (or sympathisers of this group) meet
and socialise.
Prioritised target groups make out the bulk of the participants who attend
certain literature conferences and festivals:
·
Writers (90%+ of these individuals support multiculturalism and usually portray
their world view through their works)
·
Editors and journalists in cultural Marxist/multiculturalist publications
·
A majority of individuals related to various “cultural Marxist/politically
correct” cultural settings and organisations.
There is always a chance that you are exposed and arrested during the planning
process if you fail to take certain precautions. Even if you do take all
precautions you might you just get unlucky and make a mistake at one point.
If you are arrested, you will still have much of your equipment and funds
(national or foreign currency) stored at several safe locations. It will be very
hard for the state to provide sufficient evidence in order to charge you for
violating the terrorist laws of your country especially if you don’t have a
criminal record already. With insufficient evidence they will have no choice but
to release you.
The problem then arises as you will be flagged and thus monitored thoroughly for
years to come and will be unable to plan an operation involving WMD explosive
devices. The first thing you should do is to leave the country and get off the
”radar” for a while. A good secondary strategy will be the assassination of a
“category A” traitor, not related to your country. If you play your cards right
it will be extremely difficult for the European authorities to monitor you in
other countries if you avoid electronic devices (communication devices, credit
cards, travel methods involving your ID etc). Go ”off radar” for as long as
necessary and plan your move. Extract the necessary equipment from your caches
or get new equipment (vehicle included) from the criminal networks in any major
European city. Plan secondary targets and simulate the operation mentally again
and again. You should attempt to take out not only one but up to three high
value targets if possible. Surrender should not be an option and you should be
mentally prepared to fight to the death. Even though your ”secondary” plan will
not yield the same results it will still do extensive damage if successful.
If the WMD acquirement phase fail, go with a basic shock operation.
Always acquire weaponry and armour first, and secure it in a cache. Only after
you are done will you start on acquiring the components for the WMD. The reason
is the following: should the WMD acquirement phase fail, leading to your
apprehension, you may be incarcerated for a short period based on the evidence
available. Once you get out you will be under heavy monitoring and will have a
very hard time acquiring the necessary components for any WMD. At this point in
time you will still have access to your weaponry/armour cache and will therefore
be able to execute a smaller shock attack, not involving WMDs. Estimated number
of executed may still be as high as 50 individuals based on several factors.
Assassinations - Preparations and equipment
Creating a hidden mobile sentry point with overview of target residence. This
will allow you to monitor targets movements
without raising suspicion from neighbours. A sentry point will allow you
to map the individuals movement patterns and thus enable you to anticipate an
appropriate attack window. Purchase a water/moist-proof camera with live feed to
a nearby receiver/monitor. Your base will usually be a truck a distance away to
avoid detection or any unwanted attention. Lurking around the residence is a
good way to get caught as you will alarm the neighbours’.
In conventional warfare, combat is generally at a distance with long-range
weapons. In unconventional warfare, in which urban guerrilla warfare is
included, combat is at short range and often very close. To prevent his own
death, the urban guerrilla must shoot first, and he cannot hesitate when he has
a shot. He cannot waste his ammunition because he does not possess large
amounts, and so he must conserve it. Nor can he replace his ammunition quickly,
since he is not a part of a team in which each Justiciar Knight has to be able
to look after himself. The urban guerrilla can lose no time, and thus has to be
able to shoot immediately.
When face-to-face with the enemy, he must always be moving from one position to
another, since to stay in one place makes him a fixed target and, as such, very
vulnerable.
Guerrilla warfare means that the fighters must choose their targets wisely,
fight on their own terms, and know when to retreat. A Knights Templar must learn
to deceive the enemy as well as know when to use the important tactic of shock
value.
The Justiciar Knight must be prepared to move fast and think fast. He must be
alert, physically fit and not dependent on alcohol or other impairing
substances. Ephedrine+caffeing combination (Stack) and similar substances
however will sharpen your senses and will without a doubt prove to be valuable
during any operation.
We will simulate and discuss a few “anti police force” and “anti strike force”
strategies.
In urban areas with city blocks or similar terrain the basic police force
strategy will be to attempt to flank you on two sides and pin you to one
location. This basic strategy is an attempt for them to gain ENOUGH time so that
the professional strike force can get to the location. As soon as the
professional strike force get there they will attempt to deploy “strike force
snipers”. If this is the case it will be extremely dangerous and a strategic
retreat will be very difficult. Getting “pinned down” must be avoided at all
costs by following the pre-defined time frame. You will have to move quickly and
deal with the first police officers on site in an aggressive and efficient
manner, then move on.
You are flanked between the two exits of a city block
If they against all odds succeed with a classical flanking manoeuvre this is the
appropriate way to act:
By flanking you on both sides they have been forced to split their strike force
(or normal police patrol). Pay careful attention to the difference between an
actual strike force agent (SFA) and
a regular police officer (RPO). You
should be able to tell the difference prior to operation. You want to break out
where the resistance is weak. You have a few seconds to evaluate this by
observing both flanks.
Let’s simulate a potential scenario:
O = car
i= agent
------------------------------------------
iiO
Oi
SFA x 3
You
> > >à
RPO x 3
iO
Oii
------------------------------------------
Breaking through a flank with vehicle
You will obviously try to “expropriate” a car and drive through the RPO flank
(without using force if possible). If a vehicle is not available you will have
to attack the RPO flank in order to break free. They will attempt to shoot the
tires of your vehicle take the necessary steps to avoid collision or unnecessary
damage.
Breaking through a flank by foot
Use the terrain (cars etc) as cover as you rush for the flank. At this point,
they do not have any snipers, limited body armour and only standard issue police
pistols and thus they are at a clear disadvantage. Be prepared to strike
mercilessly and without hesitation (double head shot) one target at a time. They
should not be able to hit you at this point as your cover and/or armour should
hold against any incoming projectiles (especially if you have the 5kg, small
bullet proof shield). They will be completely surprised and confused by your
“forward thrust” and take cover or attempt to run away in panic.
Thrust of the Martyr (TotM)
Breaking a flank is a dangerous move. However, keep in mind that they will not
expect you to rush them aggressively (go for head shots) so you have the element
of surprise. Let’s call this strategy: “Thrust of the Martyr” due to the
severity and critical circumstances of the attack. It is a lethal move where
either you or your opponent(s) will die or get injured. Based on your strengths
and their weaknesses you will have a success rate of aprox. 75% if facing 2
agents (scenario 1). Against 4 agents this will however drop to 30-45% (scenario
2) even taken your conviction and superior armour and firepower into account. If
you allow them enough time to deploy 1-2 snipers in either scenario you will not
likely get out of the situation alive, survival rate of less than 20%. Under
normal circumstances, you will however only face 2 police officers (2 per car)
which should allow you to neutralise both quite easily. In any case, surrender
is not an option. You either break free or die in the attempt.
Best case scenario
As we rely heavily on the element of surprise with our shock attacks, we should
have enough time to avoid this scenario. Our best counter measure is a quick
execution of the operation and a haste-full tactical retreat BEFORE the local
police or SWAT team are able to rally a response in a co-ordinated manner or
formulate a counter-attack.
Expropriate vehicles
Expropriate vehicles from civilians at your discretion. Basically stand in the
middle of the road and stop the nearest car. It should go smoothly considering
the fact that you are acting as a government agent (in your case, a police
officer). Talk to the driver; order him to turn over the vehicle ASAP.
If he refuses, insist and threaten with criminal charges for obstructing a
criminal investigation and offer him your service number (normal unique number
for every police officer). If he still refuses threaten with shooting him if he
does not vacate his car within 10 seconds. If he still refuses, shoot him in the
head. This process (dialogue from you actually stop the car until you have
seized the vehicle should take no longer than 30 seconds (preferably less than
15). If you are being chased by police officers, stop the nearest vehicle ASAP.
Use any means necessary to complete this objective.
This drill should be simulated repeatedly prior to operation.
Melee defensive strategy
One of the biggest threats while moving around is avoiding and preventing
attacks from angry civilians or from undercover agents. Expect the following
scenario:
A civilian/undercover agent goes for your side arm or grabs your arms; another
civilian attacks and knocks you to the ground. What do you do?
Use side arm or knives to neutralise one target. Go for the neck or any exposed
vulnerable area. Switch to target 2 as soon as you have neutralised target 1. If
all else fails attempt to flee.
There are currently no efficient melee weapons on the market designed for solo
urban warfare. A knife will have little value if you are jumped by two
individuals, one grabbing your arms and one knocking you down.
A suggestion could be to build and equip razor sharp spikes on your shield
and/or arms (from your wrists up to your elbows). This will transform your arms
to lethal melee weapons and will make it a lot harder for individuals to jump
you (it may also act as a deterrent).
3.52
Fertilizer WMDs and arms bans
In the early 1990s the manufacture of a large truck bomb (500-2000 kg) was a
challenging and quite difficult venture, but was in fact an achievable task for
the cleverest and most motivated individuals among us who had taken the required
precautions not to be blacklisted with the system protector intelligence agency.
Times are changing and the possibilities which were available to us during the
time of Mr. Timothy McVeigh are no longer present. The US/EUSSR cultural Marxist
hegemony has adapted so we must continuously adapt. The EU has since the 1990s
made the manufacture of explosives considerably harder. They have achieved this
by regulating and banning substances and compounds required for creating
explosives. To illustrate; since the 1990s, the EU has banned hundreds of
fertilizers, insecticides and other widely available chemicals and they have
neutralized many substances by instructing the producers to add neutralizing
chemical agents making hundreds of compounds inert. Furthermore, they have
created a system very similar to that of the former Soviet Union, using retail
desk clerks as intelligence agents.
Many of the bomb-making guides available through the internet are now quite
useless as most of the chemicals required in these guides are very hard or even
impossible to acquire for most people. 20 years ago you could easily just walk
into grocery stores, garden centers and apothecaries and just buy most of these
materials over the desk. It was possible to acquire materials to make 70-100
different types of explosives, while the number is now reduced to 10-20 types of
explosives. It is now quite difficult to buy ammonium nitrate (AN) fertilizer
for civilians in many countries. And in the countries where AN is still sold,
they have regulated the distribution limiting it to 600 kg bags. So be prepared
with a solid cover story when you decide to buy a bag. In addition; ammonium
nitrate fertilizer is in the process of being replaced with Urea fertilizer,
which requires a purification process (to urea nitrate) before use and the end
product has a much more unstable chemical composition. Urea nitrate decomposes
rapidly and usually within 30 days which requires the operator to plan
accordingly.
There are of course alternative sources for the production of AN. You may create
it from simple household products or buy ice packs. This is appropriate when
creating smaller bombs >50 kg. I’m sure they will soon replace AN based icepacks
with a different inert compound as well. But there are still many opportunities
and there will always be a few methods available to create effective explosives.
As for conventional arms, gun laws will continue to be restricted to a degree
where it will be quite difficult to acquire fire arms the legal way.
“The Party” demands: The people must be disarmed!
The EUSSR and especially the Western European countries are now deliberately
implementing measures to prevent the European peoples from defending themselves
through pre-emptive strikes against our multiculturalist dictatorships.
Unfortunately for them, Europeans were born with a free will and with creativity
beyond comparison. So I say to them; If they take away our AN-fertilizer, we
will use AN from Ice packs! IF they take away our ice packs; we will hi-jack
propane trucks and use them as secondary explosive charges! If they take away
our propane trucks; we will fight them with conventional weapons! If they ban
the sale of weapons; we will smuggle in AK-47s from the Balkans and the Middle
East!
They cannot prevent us, the European conservatives from eventually seizing
political and military power. We will succeed even if we have to create our very
own improvised guns.
A tyrant dictatorship is characterized first and foremost by its efforts to
disarm the people.
The multiculturalist EUSSR regimes efforts to disarm its own peoples come with a
very high price. As the regime loses its confidence in those they swore to
serve, the people will lose its confidence in the regime. Mistrust breeds
mistrust which directly influences loyalty, unity and productivity. The Western
European regimes continuous campaign to disarm its people will result in a
climate where it will be easier for the Revolutionary Conservative Movements to
continue consolidation. Because people will simply not accept that the
multiculturalist regimes of Western Europe continue these disarmament policies.
So we say; instead of justifying the chemical and arms bans by blaming our brave
revolutionary conservative martyrs for their pre-emptive strikes, you should
look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself why we are defending ourselves in
the first place. If you feel a need to disarm your people you should instead
change your ways. If you refuse to change your ways then you must expect to be
destroyed.
New chemical- and arms-bans means new opportunities
Conservatives must never blame fellow revolutionary conservatives for the arms
bans. All conservatives should instead welcome the new opportunities presented
with such a ban. In a country where it was possible to legally buy
semi-automatic rifles, there was simply little or no market for illegal assault
rifles. The ban of semi-automatic rifles will result in the establishment of a
black market for such items. This newly established market will even include
full-auto rifles and even grenades and rocket launchers. The EUSSR will never be
able to eliminate this black market as they are controlled by the criminal drug
organisations. And as we know; both drugs and guns are widely available from
Eastern Europe, the Balkans and the Middle East. The EUSSR will never succeed to
defeat the drug/arms smugglers because Europe simply has too many bordering
countries with lacking security. So, what we, the revolutionary conservatives,
initially see as crippling weapons bans can and will in fact result in an even
more attractive arms market than the previous one.
A weapon of mass destruction (WMD)
is a weapon that can kill large numbers of individuals and/or cause great damage
to man-made structures (e.g. buildings).
The term is often used to cover several weapon types, including nuclear,
biological, explosive and chemical weapons. However, nuclear and biological
weapons have the unique ability to kill large numbers of people with very small
amounts of material, and thus could be said to belong in a class by themselves.
Efforts must be made to employ precision WMD’s when fighting the cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist regimes of Western Europe, especially explosive weapons
(barack-buster type’s fertiliser bombs). Other types of WMD’s
(Biological/Chemical) must be considered as a realistic option as well. Efforts
must be made to obtain any of the following WMD’s:
Biological weapons
Biological warfare (BW)
is the use of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, other disease-causing agents,
or the toxins produced by them as
biological weapons (or
bio-weapons).
As a tactical weapon, the main military problem with a BW attack is that it
would take days to be effective.
Biological agents
Biological warfare is the deliberate use of disease and natural poisons to
incapacitate humans. It employs pathogens as weapons. Pathogens are the
micro-organism, whether bacterial, viral or protozoic, that causes disease.
There are four kinds of biological warfare agents: bacteria, viruses,
rickettsiae and fungi. Biological weapons are distinguished by being living
organisms, that reproduce within their host victims, who then become contagious
with a deadly, if weakening, multiplier effect. Toxins in contrast do not
reproduce in the victim and need only the briefest of incubation periods; they
kill within a few hours.
Anti-personnel BW
Ideal characteristics of biological weapons targeting humans are high
infectivity, high potency, non-availability of vaccines, and delivery as an
aerosol.
The biological agents used in biological weapons can often be manufactured
quickly and easily. The primary difficulty is not the production of the
biological agent but delivery in an effective form to a vulnerable target.
For example, anthrax is considered an effective agent for several reasons.
First, it forms hardy spores, perfect for dispersal aerosols. Second, pneumonic
(lung) infections of anthrax usually do not cause secondary infections in other
people. Thus, the effect of the agent is usually confined to the target. A
pneumonic anthrax infection starts with ordinary "cold" symptoms and quickly
becomes lethal, with a fatality rate that is 90% or higher. Finally, friendly
personnel can be protected with suitable antibiotics.
A mass attack using anthrax would require the creation of aerosol particles of
1.5 to 5 micrometres. Too large and the aerosol would be filtered out by the
respiratory system. Too small and the aerosol would be inhaled and exhaled.
Also, at this size, nonconductive powders tend to clump and cling because of
electrostatic charges. This hinders dispersion. So the material must be treated
to insulate and discharge the charges. The aerosol must be delivered so that
rain and sun does not rot it, and yet the human lung can be infected. There are
other technological difficulties as well.
It is important to note that all of the classical and modern biological weapons
organisms are animal diseases, the only exception being smallpox.
In the case of anthrax, it is likely that by 24 - 36 hours after an attack, some
small percentage of individuals (those with compromised immune system or who had
received a large dose of the organism due to proximity to the release point)
will become ill with classical symptoms and signs. Once an individual becomes
symptomatic, it has a moderately high mortality effect.
Anthrax
Anthrax
is an acute disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. It affects both humans
and animals and most forms of the disease are highly lethal. There are effective
vaccines against anthrax, and some forms of the disease respond well to
antibiotic treatment.
Like many
other members of the genus Bacillus, Bacillus anthracis can form
dormant spores that are able to survive in harsh conditions for extremely long
periods of time, even decades or centuries. Such spores can be found on all
continents, even Antarctica. When spores are inhaled, ingested, or come into
contact with a skin lesion on a host they may reactivate and multiply rapidly.
Anthrax
commonly infects wild and domesticated herbivorous mammals which ingest or
inhale the spores while browsing—in fact, ingestion is thought to be the most
common route by which herbivores contract anthrax. Carnivores living in the same
environment may become infected by consuming infected animals. Diseased animals
can spread anthrax to humans, either by direct contact (e.g. inoculation of
infected blood to broken skin) or consumption of diseased animals' flesh.
Anthrax
spores can be produced in a test tube or in a controlled environment and used as
a biological weapon. Anthrax does not spread directly from one infected animal
or person to another, but spores can be transported by clothing or shoes and the
body of an animal that died of anthrax can also be a source of anthrax spores.
Obtaining anthrax
Anthrax spores can lay dormant for centuries and is almost impossible to
destroy. As such, cleanup of anthrax-contaminated areas is considered
problematic.
It takes up to three days of burning to completely destroy all spores in a large
carcass. The most common approach is therefore to bury carcasses deeply enough
to prevent resurfacing of spores. However, this requires much manpower and
expensive tools. Some wildlife workers have experimented with covering fresh
anthrax carcasses with shadecloth and heavy objects. This prevents some
scavengers from opening the carcasses.
Millions of anthrax sites around the world
The main reason why anthrax is so easily obtainable is that the spores can lay
dormant for centuries underground without being destroyed. There have been
thousands of animal outbreaks on all continents and it has been used in
weaponised form to kill hundreds of thousands of people during several wars
(including WW1, WW2). Every buried individual or animal infected with anthrax is
to be considered an anthrax source. You only need one single spore to grow
several kilograms.
It shouldn’t be too hard to either buy anthrax on the black market or locate an
anthrax contaminated area/burial site on one of the continents around the world
due to the fact that there are millions of them (all containing dormant spores).
Its first modern incidence (as a biological weapon) occurred when Scandinavian
"freedom fighters" (the rebel groups) supplied by the German General Staff used
anthrax with unknown results against the Imperial Russian Army in Finland in
1916. In 1942, a British bio-weapons trial severely contaminated Gruinard Island
in Scotland with anthrax spores of the Vollum-14578 strain, making it a no-go
area until it was allegedly decontaminated in 1990.
Cultivating anthrax
Theoretically, anthrax spores can be cultivated with minimal special equipment
and less than a first-year collegiate microbiological education, but in practice
the procedure is difficult and dangerous. To make large amounts of an aerosol
form of anthrax suitable for biological warfare requires extensive practical
knowledge, training, and highly advanced equipment.
Even with
a good lab (isolation chamber and harvest equipment) and a few staff workers it
might take a year to come up with a product of superb quality. The spores in the
Daschle letter were 1.5 to 3 micrometres across, many times smaller than the
finest known grade of anthrax produced by either the U.S. or Soviet bio-weapons
programs. An electron microscope, costs approximately a hundred thousand USD +
which is needed to verify that the target spore size have been consistently
achieved. However, less than superb quality anthrax is much easier to cultivate
and is still very potent.
Concentrated anthrax spores were used for bio-terrorism in the 2001 anthrax
attacks in the United States, delivered by mailing postal letters containing the
spores. Only a few grams of material were used in these attacks and in August
2008 the US Department of Justice announced they believed that Dr. Bruce Ivins,
a senior bio-defence researcher, was responsible.
Bruce Ivins was a right wing, Christian, cultural conservative who allegedly
sent several anonymous letters to members of the US Congress and the media
causing five fatalities and injuring dozens of others.
Anthrax vaccine
Anyone with ambitions to grow an anthrax strain should first attain immunity
through the use of a vaccine combined with a full protective suit w. gas mask or
using an isolation chamber with integrated protective gloves. A proper vaccine
is approximately 93% effective in preventing infection.
The trade name is BioThrax, although it is commonly called Anthrax
Vaccine Adsorbed (AVA). It is administered in a six-dose primary series at 0,2,4
weeks and 6,12,18 months; annual booster injections are required thereafter to
maintain immunity.

Chemical warfare
Chemical warfare
(CW) involves using the toxic
properties of chemical substances as weapons to kill, injure, or incapacitate an
enemy.
Chemicals that are toxic enough to be used as chemical weapons, or that may be
used to manufacture such chemicals, are divided into three groups according to
their purpose and treatment:
Examples include nerve agents, ricin, lewisite and mustard gas.
Easily obtainable chemical agents include:
Uragan D2 (manufactured for killing bugs). Three kilogram is enough to kill as
many as 40 000 people. The product is currently only produced by one Austrian
company but it is easily obtainable. The “acid gas” vaporises as soon as the
hermetically sealed containers are opened. Extremely small doses of this
chemical is needed to kill a person.
Nuclear weapons
Small nuclear devices will prove more or less impossible to obtain until perhaps
in Phase 2 or 3 (2030-2070). Much will depend on how close the European cultural
conservative forces are to seizing control of a British or French nuclear
storage facility or if we manage to negotiate with the Russians, Indians or
Israelis. Using nuclear weapons would normally inflict too many civilian
casualties and it is therefore hard to imagine how nuclear weapons could benefit
our cause. The only alternative would be if the devices were small enough to
limit its direct and indirect impact to one or possibly two city blocks. Even
then, the radiation would have catastrophic results for the environment.
However, cleaning up the fallout of a very small charge (0,05-0,1 kt yield)
would cost the multiculturalist regime(s) tens, perhaps hundreds of billions of
Euros which could result in an earlier collapse (perhaps by even 1-2 decades).
An earlier collapse could prevent hundreds of thousands of Europeans from dying
depending on the severity of the ongoing civil war or the impending Phase 2 or 3
(a war where 70% of the population are Muslims are obviously much more dramatic
than a war where only 40% are Muslims etc.). The Lebanon war is a good reference
point. Imagine the following scenario:
The patriotic pan-European resistance movement gain access to 24 small nuclear
weapons (0,05-0,1 kt charge). We threaten to detonate the charges in a specific
European capital (major government buildings only, with minimal civilian
casualties) unless the Multicultural establishment capitulate and transfers all
military and political mandates to a tribunal lead by Cultural Conservatives.
Obviously, each country operates independently so it will be a country by
country effort starting with France, the UK or Germany (France is the natural
choice due to the advancement of the Islamisation. They will refuse the first
time because they assume we will not be willing to detonate. They will however
most likely capitulate when we threaten to detonate the second charge.
A strike of this magnitude would not only break the budget. It would jam the
bureaucratic gears into gridlock, and bring the system crashing down. Fear,
turmoil, violence and economic collapse would accompany such a breakdown
providing perfect conditions for fostering radical change. Even the smallest
nuclear detonation would therefore inflict massive ideological, psychological
and economical damage on the target Multicultural regime and is likely to result
in full surrender and collapse of the system.
The pragmatical approach to this scenario is for Western European and Russian
nationalists to come together. A blueprint and prospect for a future European
Federation (under Christian cultural conservative leadership) might end up being
the needed catalyst to achieve this goal. Many high level Russian politicians,
military leaders and a majority of Russians are likely to be interested in this
prospect.
The conclusion is; the threat and willingness to use small nuclear devices can
end the European civil war faster and thus save up to hundreds of thousands of
lives. However, it will prove more or less impossible to obtain in Phase 1. A
well organised resistance group with military contacts will however be able to
raid either a UK or French cache/facility during phase 2. This operation alone
might end the civil war sooner than we anticipated with us as the victors.
Nuclear EMP attacks (electromagnetic device) from high altitude over major
European cities.
Theoretically a missile-launched detonation (or detonation from an air craft)
above the earth's atmosphere could cause a catastrophe in the targeted area. The
high-altitude electromagnetic pulses from the blast will theoretically lead to
severe and primary damage in the electricity grid over a huge area which again
will lead to an "economic shutdown".
A nuclear warhead launched from a medium range missile or in an air craft and
detonated 20 miles above target location (f example Brussels, Paris, London or
any European major city) could cripple an entire country's power grid.
So called HEMP (High Altitude Electro Magnetic Pulse) and its effects could, in
theory, bring a country to its knees by crippling power, water and
communications. Cars could run out of fuel, cities could be gridlocked and the
economy could in effect be "shut down". According to some scientists, recovery
could take between four to eight years. As a result the system would come
crashing down and the climate would be favourable for a military coup.
Obviously, the primary problem is to provide the nuclear weapons. I assume that
a blast equivalent to at least 2+ kilotons would be required.
In comparison, when we first gain access to material equivalent to a 2+ kiloton
detonation it would be more logical to use the material to create 20 x 0,1
kiloton devices and target multiple main targets (primary EU/government
buildings) than wasting all the material on one single blast 20 miles above a
target city. However, when the civil war has been won and the focus will be on
the re-conquering of Anatolia nuclear EMP attacks would be favourable.
Establishing Western European WMD labs or acquirement through “break in” at
national facilities
Efforts should be made to create one or more Western European laboratories
during Phase 1, 2 or 3. The lab should be created for the purpose of short term
intensive cultivation to avoid detection. The products produces in the lab
should be distributed to trusted key cultural conservatives in several countries
through a straw man.
Break-in at national facilities is certainly an alternative but will prove much
more difficult in Phase 1 as it will require relatively large cells. Due to
extensive security measures it will involve armed raids which will be very
vulnerable to police force counter attacks.
Obtaining WMD’s from Russian, Serbian or Israeli Nationalists – a realistic WMD
scenario
Obtaining WMD’s from our Serbian Nationalist brothers is one of several
realistic scenarios in Phase 1. Obtaining it from Russia or Israel is unlikely
as they will want to see initial results first but might be of assistance in
Phase 2.
I doubt the Russians or Israeli right wing will be accommodating (as they will
see it as being too risky and too early) until Phase 2 or 3 but the opportunity
is still worth exploring.
Remember, we might fail to get our hands on a biological/chemical WMD’s 9 out of
10 but still be considered successful.
Obtaining WMD’s from Christian Nationalists in the Middle East – a realistic WMD
scenario
Establish contact with our Christian Armenian, Coptic, Maronite, Assyrian
brothers in the Middle East (radical nationalist Christians or atheists,
obviously not Muslims). There are large concentrations of Copts in Egypt and
Maronites in Northern Lebanon.
When establishing contact with nationalists among these groups make sure they
are fully aware of our political standpoints, especially in regards to our goal
of re-creating future Middle Eastern Christian states. Try to get in contact
with scientists or any other competent individuals who might be of assistance in
developing biological/chemical compounds or whom are willing to use their
networks to obtain high grade anthrax etc.
Smuggling WMD’s in to the EU
These materials will be smuggled into European metropolitans using f example
professional human traffickers or other potential intermediaries in a later
phase of the operation. “Representative looking Europeans”, especially females
is likely to have an easier time smuggling it into the EU as we avoid the
scrutiny often reserved to men of Arab decent.
Effect and employment of WMD’s against cultural Marxist/ multiculturalist
targets
A briefcase full of high grade anthrax has the potential to kill as many as
200 000 people if dispersed effectively. However, this is not our objective. Our
aim is to execute surgically precise attacks with a medium to low amount of
casualties (concentrations of category A and B cultural Marxists/
multiculturalists).
The number of civilian loses will be acceptable for certain targets. Certain
target building complexes can contain as many as 30-50 category A traitors,
200-300 category B traitors and 2000-3000 category C traitors with an acceptable
amount of civilians.
Uragan D2, anthrax or equivalent lethal chemical or biological weapons should be
dispersed through ventilation systems of buildings where there are
concentrations of category A and B traitors.
The Justiciar Knight will either have to do a break-in during business hours
(this will be risky as it will most likely alert personnel which may evacuate
the building) or plan ahead by seeking employment as a janitor in the targeted
building.
An alternative would be to do a break-in during night time. Several containers
with timer/dispersal mechanisms could be placed in strategic locations in the
ventilation system.
Our objectives when using WMD’s
Our objectives are the same. We will not allow our corrupt and traitorous EU
elites to sell the European people in to Muslim slavery. We will not allow them
to annihilate Western civilisation, our identities and culture by allowing them
to continue to institutionalise and implement multiculturalism.
We demand their full surrender - nothing more, nothing less. Our national
militaries will be forced to act if we cause sufficient damage and we might be
successful in instigating a premature coup d’état. We might also be successful
in forcing the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elites to open up for
negotiations with the cultural conservatives and create some sort of compromise
we can all live with. This would involve radical changes and many concessions
given on their behalf.
The use of chemical and/or biological weapons is going too far?
If you have moral quarrels remember that the multiculturalists are slowly
exterminating us indirectly by allowing Islamic demographic warfare in
combination with their refusal to ensure sustainable indigenous fertility rates.
It is our duty to defend ourselves, our national sovereignty, our peoples and
our cultures. More than 40 000 Western Europeans have died as a result of Muslim
atrocities since 1960, more than 1 million European women raped, and more than 5
million Europeans have been ravaged, robbed or brutalised by Muslims. The
European civil war started as early as 1999 and you should never forget that
fact. We are fighting to seize political and military power and we will continue
our struggle until the cultural Marxists/multiculturalists surrender to our
demands. Europe must again come under cultural conservative control.
It is your duty to use any and all means necessary to prevent the mass
extermination of our cultures, identities and the ongoing genocide of the free
peoples of Europe.
Extremely high risk WMD sources:
Obtaining WMD’s from Jihadi groups – doubtful but not impossible
An alliance with the Jihadists might prove beneficial to both parties but will
simply be too dangerous (and might prove to be ideologically
counter-productive).
We both share one common goal. They want control over their own countries in the
Middle East and we want control of our own countries in Western Europe. A future
cultural conservative European regime will deport all Muslims from Europe and
isolate the Muslim world. As a result, the Islamists will gain the necessary
momentum to retake power in several countries: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey,
Jordan, Syria, Yemen, Oman, Algeria, Morocco and a few others.
The Jihadists know this very well. An Islamic Caliphate is a useful enemy to all
Europeans as it will ensure European unity under Christian cultural conservative
leadership.
How this type of scenario could play out:
Approach a representative from a Jihadi Salafi group. Get in contact with a
Jihadi strawman. Present your terms and have him forward them to his superiors:
1.
Ask for “hudna” (temporary truce) during the discussions/proposal and demand
assurances not to be harmed if they reject our offer. Ask if this is acceptable
to them.
2.
If they accept, try to meet at a neutral place (not like there is a neutral
place on Muslim territory) or at least a relatively public place (which will
make it harder for them to betray your arrangement) and present your offer. They
are asked to provide a biological compound manufactured by Muslim scientists in
the Middle East. Hamas and several Jihadi groups have labs and they have the
potential to provide such substances. Their problem is finding suitable martyrs
who can pass “screenings” in Western Europe. This is where we come in. We will
smuggle it in to the EU and distribute it at a target of our choosing. We must
give them assurances that we are not to harm any Muslims etc.
3.
They will demand that we attack a target with many cultural conservative
Europeans, Jews or Americans. This is the main problem when dealing with
Jihadists. They view the cultural Marxists/multiculturalists as allies and it is
not likely that they will participate in any attacks against them. They will
have reservations against doing any harm to especially French, German, Spanish,
Norwegian or Swedish cultural Marxist/multiculturalist authorities as they view
them as facilitators in Islamising Europe. They will likely push for a British
target which is likely to be the pragmatic outcome of the talks. We can
compromise as long as there are large enough concentrations of category A and B
traitors at any British target but it will be very difficult.
If the talks go through we have to make a choice regarding honouring our part of
the deal with them. If we betray them once, they will never trust any cultural
conservatives again. In any case, it’s an extremely risky operation as they are
fully aware of our intentions and agenda. They know we plan to deport all
Muslims from Europe once we seize power in the future. The primary argument on
our behalf will be that a future cultural conservative regime will isolate the
Muslim world, which will make it a lot easier for them to seize power in their
own respective countries which will allow them to pursue their dream to create a
future Islamic Caliphate. They will
screen any individual thoroughly before handing over one million USD worth of
anthrax so it won’t work to pretend that you are a left wing extremist. This
fact and others increases the risk that they may discontinue any talks and
instead kill you. Cooperating with Muslims is a very dangerous game and the risk
of it backfiring is relatively large. Another factor is that especially European
Jihadists are under strict surveillance so any approach will likely be
registered by the National Intelligence Agency. Also, it might be viewed by the
European people as a traitorous and hypocritical act considering the fact that
we are criticising National Socialist for cooperating with Muslims. It might
also weaken our relationship with the Israeli right wing. However, we should be
open minded for any future opportunities that might arise under specific and
favourable circumstances.
4.
Both groups win if the attacks are successful. They are one step closer to a
Middle Eastern Caliphate and we are one step closer to a cultural conservative
Western Europe. They will try to push us into doing a test attack against
cultural conservative Europeans, Jews or Americans. Obviously, this request is
not acceptable to us.
Authentication process when acquiring nuclear/biological/chemical weapons from
the enemies of our enemies
There might come a time when we, the PCCTS, Knights Templar will consider to use
or even to work as a proxy for the enemies of our enemies. This might be an
option if we feel that conventional approaches are fruitless or if the
intelligence agencies/system protectors working for the Western European regimes
successfully manage to neutralise our long term efforts to liberate our
countries.
Under these circumstances, the PCCTS, Knights Templar will for the future
consider working with the enemies of the EU/US hegemony such as Iran (South
Korea is unlikely), al-Qaeda, al-Shabaab or the rest of the devout fractions of
the Islamic Ummah with the intention for deployment of small nuclear,
radiological, biological or chemical weapons in Western European capitals and
other high priority locations. Justiciar Knights and other European Christian
martyrs can avoid the scrutiny normally reserved for individuals of Arab descent
and we can ensure successful deployment and detonation in the location of our
choice.
Nevertheless, we cannot, under any circumstances, accept deployment of nuclear
weapons for surface detonation above 0,2 kilotons as it would involve too many
civilian casualties. However, smaller devices up to approximately 0,2 kilotons
are ideal for annihilating concentrations of category A and B traitors (traitor
HQs). This scenario will involve the destruction of up to 1-2 city blocks/HQs
with high concentrations of traitors and therefore suits our purpose.
As for aerial detonations, we can accept more powerful devices for the purpose
of deploying and detonating it in the atmosphere, with the intent to destroy the
infrastructure of criminal Western European regimes through EMP damage. This can
also be employed strategically, f example in the first phase of a coup in order
to paralyse the defensive forces of the regime (atmospheric EMP blast will
paralyze a big portion of communication in any capital city).
The obvious challenge is the fact that the Islamic Ummah, aka “International
Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders”
and PCCTS, Knights Templar (representing the International Crusader front
against Jihadi imperialism) have conflicting goals. Not only are we arch enemies
in a war which stretches back 1400 years to the day when the warlord,
Muhammad’s, forces first started to massacre Jews and Christians in the western
Jihadi front. They wish to conquer all Christian European lands and forcefully
convert us while we wish to deport all Muslims from Christian territory and
isolate them. Regardless of these obvious conflicts, they should understand that
we are not imperialists in contrary to the US/EU globalists who seek to maintain
the Islamic puppet regimes and force the European way on them. The Islamic Ummah
should view our enemies; the US/EU globalists, as a greater threat than we would
ever aspire to be. The reason is that we do not wish to destroy Islam but simply
to isolate it primarily outside Europe.
Assuming we will ever seek common ground, which is unlikely at best, the problem
will be the authentication process. How can the Ummah, the enemy of our enemy,
know they are really dealing with a Justiciar Knight and not a CIA or EU agent?
How can it be proved that the individual seeking to become a proxy for the
deployment of nuclear/radiological/biological/chemical weapon(s) isn’t an
undercover agent working for the US or a Western European country’s
intelligence?
The difference between an agent and a Justiciar Knight is that the latter will
be willing to make a great sacrifice for the purpose of proper validation. Now
what kind of sacrifice would be great enough to remove all doubt that the
candidate is not a EU/US agent? A Justiciar Knight is willing to martyr himself
for the cause while a EU/US agent will not be willing to sacrifice much. The
entity should demand that the alleged Justiciar Knight in question surgically
remove his penis and testicles and/or execute a fixed number of civilian
children. While this requirement seems morbid, absurd and unreasonable, it is
perhaps the most effective method of confirming the intentions of an individual.
Because why would one of the sides part with a powerful weapon which worth
exceeds perhaps 100 million Euros? The party would need to make 100% sure that
the proxy is trustworthy. A government agent could and would never accept these
terms to maintain his cover, but a true Justiciar Knight would willingly
sacrifice everything for the cause, including committing smaller atrocities as
long as it served the greater good of our cause. He would also be willing to
part with these body parts in order to confirm his intent in this validation
process. In any case, the entity would have to provide a surgical team to safely
complete the operation without risk of loss of life for the Justiciar Knight.
End note: a CIA/EU intelligence agent with a lethal/terminal
disease/virus/cancer might be willing to agree to this sacrifice. Therefore, the
party has to complete a full medical examination to ensure that the candidate
does not suffer from any lethal, terminal condition. If the candidate suffers
from a potentially lethal condition he should not be trusted as it is likely
that he is an agent working for the US/EU hegemony. Furthermore, the candidate
has to provide documentation that he has the professional capabilities required
to employ an operation of that scale.
Obviously, the entity has to at least comprehend, if not accept, that the PCCTS,
Knights Templar supports a foreign policy which includes the deportation of all
Muslims from Europe, the liberation of Western and Eastern Anatolia and the
areas north and south of Israel. If they can look past these factors, and all
other circumstances are met, we will be willing to consider offering our
services as proxies with the intent to deploy these weapons on targets of our
choosing.
As previously noted, the PCCTS, Knights Templar do not intend to persecute
devout Muslims or enslave them under puppet leaders in their own Islamic
countries like today’s EU/US leaders are doing. Our only intention is to partly
isolate the future European Federation. We do not necessarily oppose the
creation of a caliphate lead by devout Muslims in the Middle East. And we do not
support the current EU/US hegemony’s policy of maintaining the ongoing cultural
and financial imperialism which involve maintaining the corrupt pro-Western
puppet regimes in Islamic countries.
The option of cooperating with the Ummah seems unlikely today, as we haven’t
reached a stage where we are desperate enough, but may be a viable option within
a couple of decades based on several factors. Until then, it is our
responsibility to always search for or contribute to create windows of
opportunities. Our enemies, the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist criminal
regimes of Western Europe have more enemies than we can imagine. The greatest
disadvantage of the Conservative European Resistance movement, including PCCTS,
Knights Templar is that we lack safe havens; we lack territory where we can
gather components, develop and build powerful weapons. The greatest disadvantage
of the Ummah however is to safely smuggle and deploy their weapons into and on
European territory, as they lack “invisible proxies” able to avoid scrutiny. As
such, our advantages vs. disadvantages fulfil each other. We owe it to ourselves
to consider all possibilities.
Why Anthrax is considered one of the most effective WMD’s
The use of anthrax has an excellent “shock effect” and is likely to result in
massive media coverage.
Economic impact
The 2001 anthrax attacks; cleanups at a US Senate office building, several
contaminated postal facilities and other U.S. government and private office
buildings showed that decontamination is possible, but it is time-consuming and
costly. Clearing the Senate office building of anthrax spores cost $27 million,
according to the Government Accountability Office. Cleaning the Brentwood postal
facility outside Washington cost $130 million and took 26 months.
In addition, the US government have spent several billion USD to research and
develop various vaccines and countermeasures. The cultural Marxist/
multiculturalist elites of Europe will have to invest similar amounts.
Example of a good Anthrax campaign
Anthrax
can be distributed/dispersed by using targeted mailing campaigns, either by mail
courier or through regular mail. 2,5 grams is the maximum amount of anthrax
powder that could be put in an envelope without making a suspicious bulge. The
quantity in the envelope sent to Senator Tom Daschle in October 2001 was 2
grams.

Example message:
--------------------------------------------------------
José Manuel Durão Barroso
In reference to a letter sent to your political party and/or your office a few
years ago;
Paste in Fjordmans letter: A European Declaration of Independence or anything
similar
We regret to inform you that you have been flagged by the Portuguese and
pan-European cultural conservative Military and Criminal Tribunal as a “Category
A traitor” for your involvement in the crimes against all free Europeans.
You have deliberately used your influence in a way which makes you indirectly or
directly guilty of the listed charges:
List definition of crimes; 1-8 (found in this document)
We, the European military order and tribunal;
Commilitones Christi Templique
Solomonici – PCCTS, the Knights Templar, on behalf of the free indigenous
peoples of Europe, condemn you to death for your involvement in the listed
crimes against the peoples of Europe.
Your sentence will be carried out by targeted execution (by a Justiciar Knight
or another
cultural conservative/nationalist)
during Phase 1, Phase 2 or Phase 3 of the ongoing European Civil War; If not
today, then tomorrow, in ten years, or as soon as we are in a position to do so.
Note that multiculturalism is a self-defeating ideology when combined with
Islamisation. In a few decades, when Islam has reached 50% in certain countries,
the people will cry out loud for cultural conservative
leadership to save them. As soon as we seize power in Western Europe, or in your
specific country, you can be assured that we will arrest and execute every
single category A and B traitor. We know who you are, where you and your family
live and we are aware of your exact involvement in the listed crimes.
However, the ongoing European civil war is now in Phase 1. In this regard we are
willing to grant all categories; A, B and C traitor’s amnesty for the specified
crimes provided you fulfil certain conditions. You must immediately and without
hesitation use your influence to carry out a minimum of duties in order to
rectify the damage you have caused through your involvement in the listed
crimes.
The only way to be granted amnesty is thus to build a verifiable “track record”
by publicly renouncing your past political stance.
Specifically;
-
You are to renounce multiculturalism and work for its immediate removal from all
government policies and school curricula. Furthermore, you are to actively work
against the ongoing Islamisation of Europe.
-
You are to support policies for the continuation of the cultural heritage and
traditions of the indigenous populations.
-
You are to demand that all Muslim immigration in whatever form should be
immediately and completely halted, and that our authorities take a long break
from mass immigration in general until such a time when law and order has been
re-established in our major cities. Furthermore, you must not stand in the way
of future Muslim deportations.
If these duties are not fully carried out, you will lose this one-time-offer of
amnesty.
Whatever you chose to do, you cannot change the outcome of a future cultural
conservative victory in Europe. We will not allow you and your fellow
conspirators to sell the people of Europe in to Muslim slavery.
Time is of the essence, it is in your interest to show where your loyalty is.
A Justiciar Knight or another
cultural conservative will find your
name at the top of his list and may be on his way to carry out sentence while
you are reading this announcement.
Sincere regards,
Commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici

Consider to add:
You may contact the Portuguese and pan-European cultural conservative Military
and Criminal Tribunal by visiting the following website:
www.xxxx.com - If website is offline, search up the term “2083” on
www.google.com and enter one of the designated cultural conservative websites
(the official cultural conservative – category A and B traitor register which
should be created some time in the future). Register with name, address and
official verifiable e-mail address and go to: priority lists. Punch in one of
the following codes on the “category A traitor page”:

Webpage stating:
Accusation
If you have received this letter you are flagged as a category A or B traitor.
Feel free to forward an official statement to us by selecting the different
codes (indicating your position to the following accusations (charges 1-8). We
are therefore allowing you to remove or change your status in our system.
Charges 1-8:
I will deliberately contribute to destroy Western Civilisation, European
cultures and identities and continue to support the Islamisation of Europe
through allowing demographic warfare (mass Muslim immigration and high birth
rates).
I seek to clarify my position for the following charges 1-8:
1.
I intend to continue with my current stance, because I am a cultural Marxist.
2.
I intend to continue with my current stance, because I am a humanist or a
capitalist globalist and believe in a one-world-philosophy (where Islam is
included).
3.
I don’t like what I’m doing but I feel my career is more important than anything
else. If I change my viewpoints I will lose my job which is unacceptable.
4.
I just go with the flow and haven’t given it much thought. I don’t really care
about what happens to Europe 30 years from now.
5.
I am a cultural conservative but if I renounce my current political line I will
lose everything, which is not acceptable.
6.
I will renounce my current political line, because of your threats. I do not
share your views at all.
7.
I will renounce my current political
line, no further comment.
8.
I will renounce my current political line as I am a cultural conservative at
heart.

--------------------------------------------------------
It should be noted that even if the letters (mailing campaigns) doesn’t contain
real anthrax but instead a hoax powder, it will still have very beneficial
results. Many cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elites will defect, quit
politics, their media, university, artist position as a result. Some may even
realise what they are doing/have done and may join our struggle. Many of the so
called “category A and B” traitors aren’t truly cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists. Many are just “going with the flow” and will
therefore re-evaluate their involvement in future activities.
“Decisive-blow” campaigns – high grade anthrax mailing campaigns
Provided we have established a laboratory in Europe and the necessary equipment,
we would be able to launch a “decisive-blow-campaign”.
This operation will involve at least 21 individuals (depending if we already
have the necessary amount of high grade anthrax) and will require a complete
database of all category A and B traitor names, addresses etc. Personnel needed:
1 administrator, 20 for distribution.
Would require 818(409) kilograms of anthrax (2(1) grams of anthrax per targeted
individual):
France – 65 650 category A and B traitors
Germany – 82 820
United Kingdom
– 62 216
Netherlands – 16 665
Belgium – 10 807
Sweden – 9393
Norway
– 4848
Luxembourg – 498
Switzerland – 7777
Spain – 47 167
Italy – 60 600
Portugal
– 10 807
Denmark – 5555
Ireland – 6060
Greece – 11 312
Finland – 5353
Iceland
– 322
Cyprus – 800
Malta – 417
Denmark, Greece, Finland, Iceland and perhaps Italy should be excluded from the
list.
There are a total of 409 067 category A and B traitors in Western Europe
according to the current classification system (1010 per million).
Be creative; create a letterhead which is likely to be forwarded directly to the
target individual.

“Ask for no mercy, and give none.”
Primary military objectives of the PCCTS, Knights Templar:
1.
Shock attacks (assassinations included)
2.
Sabotage attacks
Before we start discussing strategies for sabotage we have to agree on the
foundational premise for the valuation of sabotage over shock attacks.
A regime, in our case all the cultural Marxist regimes of Western Europe, cannot
be defeated without devastating/paralyzing the fundament of the regime. The
primary fundament of a regime is its economy. Of course, a shock attack will
contribute to weaken a regimes economy but specific and advanced sabotage
missions aimed at weakening a regime economically is an essential requirement in
order to eventually defeat it. No regime in history has ever been overthrown
before it has first been considerably weakened through multiple shock/sabotage
attacks. The reason is that the people will not rise and fight for their ideals
as long as we live in economical prosperity. The various Western European armed
resistance groups basis for existence is to keep recruiting. As long as a
society has a thriving economy this will be literally impossible due to the fact
that the regime would be able to keep the unemployment rate at a minimum. We
will struggle with recruitment in the first decades of the civil war, phase 1 –
2010-2030, but as the national economies are gradually crippled (primarily
through decreasing national cohesion, allowing China to join the
WTO/globalisation, radicalisation of Muslims and other factors) we will
experience an increasing recruitment rate due to increased EU unemployment rate.
The people of Europe will be willing to stand up and fight for their principles
when they are already suffering. As such, it must be a priority to contribute to
cripple the cultural Marxist regimes economies further through our emphasis on
sabotage operations, using any and all means available.
We have covered the importance of shock attacks in other chapters. The most
efficient shock attacks are successful operations launched against the cultural
Marxist category A and B traitors themselves targeting government buildings,
media HQs and other concentrations of cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elites.
Alternatives include assassinations. The primary purpose of shock attacks is not
necessarily to cause as much infrastructure/personnel damage as possible (with
the exception of harming as many category A and B traitors as possible) but to
rather sow terror in the hearts of our enemies and everyone supporting them,
thus inflicting massive ideological damage.
An equally important task will be sabotage missions. The primary purpose of
sabotage missions is to cause system disruptions or contribute to gradual but
devastating economic losses to the cultural Marxist regime. The most potent and
efficient way of doing this is to select targets and use means that will trigger
secondary reactions and effects. These secondary reactions/effects can be f
example pollution/oil spills (requiring extremely expensive cleanup operations),
damage on the electricity or communications net.
The common factor for both types of operations (shock or sabotage) is that we
must keep civilian casualties at an absolute minimum.
Before you start your research in potential sabotage targets you must study
historical cases (accidents/attacks):
Top 9 list of sabotage targets
This includes property damage and expenses incurred related to the accidents/
attacks with secondary effects such as the subsequent cleanup and industry
losses. Many of these accidents/attacks involve casualties which obviously
cannot be measured in currency terms. Each life lost is priceless and is not
factored into the equation.
9. Tanker Truck vs Bridge $358 Million
On August 26, 2004, a car collided with a tanker truck containing 32,000 litres
of fuel on the Wiehltal Bridge in Germany. The tanker crashed through the
guardrail and fell 90 feet off the A4 Autobahn resulting in a huge explosion and
fire which destroyed the load-bearing ability of the bridge. Temporary repairs
cost $40 million and the cost to replace the bridge is estimated at $318
Million.
8. MetroLink Crash $500 Million
On September 12, 2008, in what was one of the worst train crashes in California
history, 25 people were killed when a Metrolink commuter train crashed head-on
into a Union Pacific freight train in Los Angeles. It is thought that the
Metrolink train may have run through a red signal while the conductor was busy
text messaging. Wrongful death lawsuits are expected to cause $500 million in
losses for Metrolink.
7. Phillips Disaster - Oct. 23 1989 Pasadena, Texas, - $1,4 Billion*
The Phillips Disaster refers to
a devastating series of explosions and fire in October of 1989, near the Houston
Ship Channel in Texas, USA. The initial blast registered 3.5 on the Richter
Scale, and the conflagration took 10 hours to bring under control. Some 23
employees were killed and 314 were injured. An explosion affected all facilities
within the complex, causing $715.5 million worth of damage plus an additional
business disruption loss estimated at $700 million.
6. Oklahoma City Bombing – $1,5 Billion (based on 9/11 numbers minus 25%)
The Oklahoma City bombing was a terrorist attack on April 19, 1995 aimed at the
Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, a U.S. government office complex in downtown
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The attack claimed 168 lives and left over 800 injured.
Until the September 11, 2001 attacks, it was the deadliest act of terrorism on
U.S. soil, and remains the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in American
history. Within days after the bombing, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were
both in custody for their roles in the bombing. Investigators determined that
McVeigh and Nichols were sympathisers of an anti-government militia movement and
that their motive was to avenge the government's handling of the Waco siege and
Ruby Ridge incidents.
5. Exxon Valdez $2.5 Billion
The Exxon Valdez oil spill was not a large one in relation to the world’s
biggest oil spills, but it was a costly one due to the remote location of Prince
William Sound (accessible only by helicopter and boat). On March 24, 1989, 10.8
million gallons of oil was spilled when the ship’s master, Joseph Hazelwood,
left the controls and the ship crashed into a Reef. The cleanup cost Exxon $2.5
billion.
4. Piper Alpha Oil Rig $3.4 Billion
The world’s worst off-shore oil disaster. At one time, it was the world’s single
largest oil producer, spewing out 317,000 barrels of oil per day. On July 6,
1988, as part of routine maintenance, technicians removed and checked safety
valves which were essential in preventing dangerous build-up of liquid gas.
There were 100 identical safety valves which were checked. Unfortunately, the
technicians made a mistake and forgot to replace one of them. At 10 PM that same
night, a technician pressed a start button for the liquid gas pumps and the
world’s most expensive oil rig accident was set in motion.
Within 2 hours, the 300 foot platform was engulfed in flames. It eventually
collapsed, killing 167 workers and resulting in $3.4 Billion in damages.
3. Prestige Oil Spill - $12 Billion
On November 13, 2002, the Prestige oil tanker was carrying 77,000 tons of heavy
fuel oil when one of its twelve tanks burst during a storm off Galicia, Spain.
Fearing that the ship would sink, the captain called for help from Spanish
rescue workers, expecting them to take the ship into harbour. However, pressure
from local authorities forced the captain to steer the ship away from the coast.
The captain tried to get help from the French and Portuguese authorities, but
they too ordered the ship away from their shores. The storm eventually took its
toll on the ship resulting in the tanker splitting in half and releasing 20
million gallons oil into the sea.
According to a report by the Pontevedra Economist Board, the total cleanup cost
$12 billion.
2. World Trade Center (terrorist attacks), Sept. 11, 2001 - $39 billion*
With images of burning towers seared into our collective memory, the 9/11
attacks need no introduction. Although not typically thought of as a 'fire,' the
9/11 attacks resulted in the most costly blaze in our country’s history. What's
more, 9/11 was also one of the most expensive catastrophic events of any kind:
only hurricanes Katrina and Andrew were more financially devastating.
1. Chernobyl $200 Billion
On April 26, 1986, the world witnessed the costliest accident in history. The
Chernobyl disaster has been called the biggest socio-economic catastrophe in
peacetime history. 50% of the area of Ukraine is in some way contaminated. Over
200,000 people had to be evacuated and resettled while 1.7 million people were
directly affected by the disaster. The death toll attributed to Chernobyl,
including people who died from cancer years later, is estimated at 125,000. The
total costs including cleanup, resettlement, and compensation to victims has
been estimated to be roughly $200 Billion. The cost of a new steel shelter for
the Chernobyl nuclear plant will cost $2 billion alone. The accident was
officially attributed to power plant operators who violated plant procedures and
were ignorant of the safety requirements needed.

Identify high priority off shore targets in the following countries:
France, UK, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Spain
Focused targets:
·
Industrial/petro/gas/energy installations (on shore/off shore)
·
Crude oil tankers/LNG carriers close to coasts or close to off shore oil
installations.
Choose targets wisely and ensure that the secondary effects will have
devastating effects.
A one man cell will have limited capabilities. However, providing a truck/boat
loaded with explosives is within the capabilities of any single individual. It
might take 1-2 years to safely acquire (without causing suspicion) the materials
needed for this bomb but the resource vs. effect ratio is magnificent. In theory
a 50 000 Euro operation has the potential to cause economical losses for to our
enemy in the range 1-3 billion Euro.
Also, keep in mind that tankers carrying crude oil are sectioned (they might not
sink if only one section is compromised) so it is essential to hit a cross
section (two sections minimum) during a blast (or to ensure that you have enough
load). This can f example be achieved by using a fishing boat loaded with
explosives. Study the different oil platforms. Know that the crude oil and/or
liquid gas is always stored in the hollow foundations/pillars of the platform
(the 1-4 supporting blocks). Know that according to EU regulatives all oil
platforms have mandatory emergency rescue ships within a certain radius for the
purpose of rescuing personnel in case of disaster so the civilian casualties
will be minimal.
Also, there is usually barracks on shore housing military units responsible for
maritime counterrerrorism in case of terror attacks. These professional military
personnel have high speed boats and in some cases helicopters available in case
of potential hi-jacking scenarios (they often train for platform raids).
However, they will not be able to prevent an attack if you use the following
guidelines:
1.
Know the area, onshore and offshore. Study naval maps, google satellite maps
(through safe browsing ofc).
2.
Acquire a verifiable front or at least an alibi to have a boat in the vicinity.
3.
Consider serving on a local fishing boat in the area prior to operation. Learn
whatever skills you need to complete your mission. Acquire contacts within the
local fishing community and establish solid alibis for your
undercover/acquisition period.
4.
Make accurate estimations/research of military/coast guard response times,
location of nearby bases. Do they have access to nearby fighter
jets/helicopters? Are the helicopters armed with rockets/missiles/machine guns
or not? The restricted parameter surrounding offshore rigs are usually no more
than 500 metres so a loaded fishing vessel should have no trouble reaching the
rig before military personnel has any chance to respond. The rig personnel will
call it in when you are fastening the load (boat) to one of the pillars. Escape
using a jetski or other mini vessel.
Estimated time needed for planning/preparation for operation: 1-3 years.
Damage potential for single cell ,Justiciar Knight, with a budget of
30 000-100 000 Euro:
Successful attack on oil platform resulting in the collapse of 2 out of 4
foundational blocks; the platform will collapse and possibly sink.
Estimated primary and secondary damage (due to massive oil spills):
Total damage: 2 – 40 billion Euro in total losses + massive shock effect which
will temporarily destabilise the global crude prize and stock indexes
(particularly on a national level).

French production of oil and gas
About 1.2 Mt (24,000 bbl/d) of oil and natural gas liquids are produced annually
in France. This production is extracted from several dozen small fields located
in the Paris Basin and the Aquitaine Basin.
Marketed gas production (1.1 billion cu.m per year, or 100 Mcftd) comes almost
entirely from Aquitaine, with Lacq field deep pool accounting for about 75% of
overall production.
Although France’s oil and gas production covers only a tiny part of domestic
demand, it is nevertheless a source of economic value, as attested by the fact
that some ten companies work in the two main basins. With oil prices at their
current high level, this production is profitable, and would remain so even with
considerably lower prices.
How to access to technical data on oil and gas exploration and production?
Much of the data is stored by the Office of Oil & Gas Exploration and Production
(BEPH) and is easily accessible.
- BEPH publications give detailed information on oil and gas upstream activity
in France.
- BEPH archives contain a virtually complete collection of documents related to
oil wells drilled in France (almost 6000 wells). BEPH can also help companies to
retrieve old geophysical data. Much of this data is easily available to the
public at reasonable cost. This is particularly the case for well data.
- IFP (French Petroleum Institute) has published regional studies on the
petroleum geology and prospectivity of France’s sedimentary basins.
German production of oil and gas
Germany produced 170,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) of oil in 2005, of which 67,000
bbl/d (39 percent) was crude oil.
Germany had 2007 natural gas production of 14.3 billion cubic metres and natural
gas consumption of 82.74 billion cubic metres.
Due to its central location in Europe, Germany is a major natural gas pipeline
transit hub for imports from Russia and the North Sea. The 440-mile
Minveraloelverbungleitung (MVL) connects the cities of Rostock, Schwedt, and
Spergau in eastern Germany. According to the 2008 BP Statistical Energy Survey,
Germany had a 2007 refinery capacity of 2390.38 thousand barrels a day.

Evaluation of targets – oil rigs vs. gas rigs and production facilities vs.
refineries/storage
Despite of my limited experience with in depth petro structure analysis I will
give my insight based on my general knowledge of the various potential targets.
Oil rigs vs. gas rigs
The stored liquefied natural gas in the pillars would cause a significantly
larger secondary blast compared to that of crude oil. If my understanding is
correct, a secondary gas blast (given that the pillar storage areas are full or
semi full) would more or less completely destroy the structure and is likely to
sink it. The devastation would be total. However, costs related to rig accidents
are also related to secondary effects such as spills/pollution. Liquified gas is
easily dispersed in water and would cause minimal pollution effects compared to
that of crude oil which coagulates and poses a significant environmental threat
(and hence results in extremely expensive cleanup operations). It is uncertain
which target would result in the highest economical losses. If you have enough
explosives (3000-6000 kg) I would go for the oil rig. However, if availability
of explosives is scarce (1000-3000 kg) I would go for the gas rig.
Oil refineries vs. gas terminals/refineries
Refineries and gas terminals (linking sea based pipelines to land based
pipelines) are all land based and are therefore less vulnerable to single source
explosions.
The principle of availability of explosives can be applied here as well. Certain
parts of gas terminals and refineries are significantly more vulnerable to
explosions as the liquified gas will serve as a secondary blast catalyzator and
enhance the devastation. However, it is essential that the correct part of the
refining/terminal structure is targeted. The whole point is to trigger a
secondary reaction or even a chain reaction resulting in maximum devastation and
thus maximum direct and indirect economical losses.
Crude oil or gasoline/benzene storage facilities
Storage facilities are often intentionally placed at remote locations far away
from valuable and expensive infrastructure. As such, targeting storage
facilities will result in limited direct and indirect losses.
Using LNG vessels (liquified natural gas tanker ships and tanker trucks) as
weapons
LNG vessels are considered significantly more potent as weapons compared to
benzene/gasoline vessels.
LNG has a significant blast effect while the effect of benzene/gasoline is
usually limited to an incinerating effect.
The problems however is that the hijacking of LNG tankers (for the purpose of
detonating them close to rigs or priority coastal structures will be difficult
due to the maritime anti-terror forces who have trained specifically for such
scenarios and usually is within a 20 minute radius.
Conclusions
Such devastating sabotage attacks, which have the potential to cripple a
countries economy, should not be employed by resistance fighters in countries
where there are realistic possibilities for a democratical regime shift or where
the people have not undergone two decades of severe mental conditioning
(brainwashing) and should therefore be limited to Western Europepan countries.
These types of economically devastating operations should be employed in
countries beyond hope of saving through democratical means (due to decades of
severe ideological brainwashing) such as:
Germany, France, UK, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg,
Switzerland, Austria etc.
3.49 Buying the required lab equipment before the manufacture or preparation of
explosives/chemical-biological compounds
I’ve reviewed more than 100 instructions/guides on how to create various
explosive devices and/or compounds. However; I’ve never seen a relevant
lab-equipment guide which explains what is required and what it is used for when
manufacturing given explosives. I therefore decided to include most of the
information you need to know in this compendium:
The basics – Chemistry knowledge required
Despite what others might say; you don’t need any formal training in order to
manufacture explosives. I have studied hundreds of various guides, recipes and
instructions and can honestly say that it is a relatively safe venture as long
as you take the necessary precautions and avoid the most volatile explosives.
The competence required really depends on which compound you are working with.
Certain manufacturing techniques require a simple distillation process while
others require a fractional distillation. You may need to purify substances
through a process called crystallization. You don’t really need a bachelor or
master degree to learn what you need to create explosives. As long as you are
extremely careful and take the required precautions, there is a 90-95% chance
you will succeed without any accidents. And if there are any accidents, the
compound doze you are working with is likely to be small enough for you to get
out of the situation without serious injuries.
It should be noted, though, that 30% of the registered explosions in the US are
accidents. And according the Marxist terrorist and mass-murderer Che Guevara;
half of the people he sent to manufacture explosives blew themselves up
(probably due to them using lacking instructions, ignoring precautions and using
open flames.
Required laboratory equipment
You can probably survive using kitchen ware but considering the low cost of
laboratory glass ware, I really recommend investing in the following items. The
primary reason is because laboratory grade glassware is specifically designed
for heating, while kitchen glass ware may break if heated directly on a hot
plate with potentially fatal consequences. DO NOT under any circumstances use an
open flame heater. Always use an electrical heater, preferably a hot plate
stirrer. A majority of accidents relating to explosives involves open flames or
individuals dropping explosive materials on the floor so be careful.
Safety equipment recommended:
·
Bucket of cold water: 5 € (any kitchen store)
·
Fire extinguisher: 100 € (various stores)
·
Hazmat suit: F example: Lakeland DuPont
HazMat Suit Tychem: 11-50 USD (Ebay). A hazmat suit with boots and hood isn’t
necessarily needed for making explosives. It is however needed for handling pure
nicotine and ricin. Considering how inexpensive it is, you might as well use one
while creating explosives.
·
3M 6800 full face respirator with appropriate filters (choose Organic
Vapor/Organic Vapor-Acid/Organic Vapor-Acid-Gas filters) depending on the
chemicals you will be working with. You can buy this facemask with filters from
Ebay for as low as 100 USD.
Laboratory safety:
Obviously, we are able to follow some but not all of the following guidelines
due to our limited resources:
Hardware, regulators, glassware, solvents, dry chemicals, acids, etc., stored in
the laboratory must be isolated from each other in separate cooling bath to
prevent breakage and to avoid other undesirable interactions.
Electrical equipment including varices, stirrers, vacuum pumps, etc., must not
be powered by extension cords or frayed line cords. Grounded plugs must be used
without exception; existing ungrounded plugs must be changed immediately (this
will be too costly to avoid, shouldn’t be a problem with good ventilation).
Carefully check glass vessels for star cracks, scratches or etching marks before
each use. Cracks can increase the likelihood of breakage or may allow chemicals
to leak into the vessel.
Seal glass centrifuge tubes with rubber stoppers clamped in place. Wrap the
vessel with friction tape and shield with a metal screen. Alternatively, wrap
with friction tape and surround the vessel with multiple layers of loose cloth,
then clamp behind a safety shield.
Glass tubes with high-pressure sealers should be no more than 3/4 full.
Sealed bottles and tubes of flammable materials should be wrapped in cloth,
placed behind a safety shield, then cooled slowly, first with an ice bath, then
with dry ice.
Friction tape (electrical tape): The rubber based adhesive makes it an
electrical insulator and provides a degree of protection from liquids and
corrosion. In the past, friction tape was widely used by electricians, but PVC
electrical tape has replaced it in most applications today.
When working with sensitive electrical components or volatile materials (such as
papers/powders/flammable liquids) sparks and electrical discharge can cause
catastrophic failure in sensitive electrical components and ignite volatile
substances.
Take steps to eliminate them: How to prevent static electricity: Hair, clothes
and shoes are well known producers of static electricity.
Ground the static by touching a
grounded appliance, wiring a ground circuit, or by applying a neutralizing
charge. Static accumulates in areas where the charge cannot escape.
Here are some methods to eliminate static electricity and/or buildup:
·
Wire work surfaces to grounding points. Resistive "Touch Me First" grounding
pads let users drain off any static charge they've accumulated without causing a
spark or a shock. Wear static control wristbands, which are wired to grounding
points (Do NOT wear them when working on CRT [Cathode Ray Tube] televisions or
computer monitors. More than a few people have been killed when the strap
touched a main capacitor).
·
If nothing else is available, touch a grounded metal object once in a while to
remove any charge from your body. Touching a water tap works extremely well. (as
does touching a corner of a wall where there is metal stripping under the
plaster) <- These moulding strips are not always grounded!
·
Professional devices are available that control static electricity by use of
alpha-emitting devices containing Polonium.
Sparks from electrical equipment can serve as an ignition source for flammable
or explosive vapors or combustible materials. Ensure that you have acceptable
ventilation to prevent “explosive fume” buildup near powered electrical
equipment.
All electrical cords should have sufficient insulation to prevent direct contact
with wires. In a laboratory, it is particularly important to check all cords
before each use, since corrosive chemicals or solvents may erode the insulation.
Damaged cords should be repaired or taken out of service immediately, especially
in wet environments such as cold rooms and near water baths.
When it is necessary to handle equipment that is plugged in, be sure hands are
dry and, when possible, wear nonconductive gloves and shoes with insulated
soles.
If it is safe to do so, work with only one hand, keeping the other hand at your
side or in your pocket, away from all conductive material. This precaution
reduces the likelihood of accidents that result in current passing through the
chest cavity.
Minimize the use of electrical equipment in cold rooms or other areas where
condensation is likely.
If water or a chemical is spilled onto equipment, shut off power at the main
switch or circuit breaker and unplug the equipment.
Grounding
Plug only equipment with three-prong plugs should be used in the laboratory. The
third prong provides a path to ground for internal electrical short circuits,
thereby protecting the user from a potential electrical shock.
Circuit Protection Devices
Circuit protection devices are designed to automatically limit or shut off the
flow of electricity in the event of a ground-fault, overload or short circuit in
the wiring system. Ground-fault circuit interrupters, circuit breakers and fuses
are three well-known examples of such devices.
Fuses and circuit breakers prevent over-heating of wires and components that
might otherwise create fire hazards. They disconnect the circuit when it becomes
overloaded. This overload protection is very useful for equipment that is left
on for extended periods of time, such as stirrers, vacuum pumps, drying ovens,
Variacs and other electrical equipment.
The ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, is designed to shutoff electric
power if a ground fault is detected, protecting the user from a potential
electrical shock. The GFCI is particularly useful near sinks and wet locations.
Since GFCIs can cause equipment to shutdown unexpectedly, they may not be
appropriate for certain apparatus. Portable GFCI adapters (available in most
safety supply catalogs) may be used with a non-GFCI outlet.
Electrical equipment required:
·
Freezer: 50-100 € (second hand item, don’t put chemicals in your food freezer,
to avoid contaminating your food, you need a separate one). Most freezers are
able to go as low as -30 Celsius.
·
Refrigerator: 50-100 € (second hand item, don’t put chemicals in your food
refrigerator, you need a separate one)
·
Hot Plate Stirrer: 200 € (second hand or new item). I would really recommend
investing in a hot plate stirrer. It’s a magnetic stirrer with adjustable
stirring speed and adjustable heating so that you may heat up certain compounds
(in beakers or conical flasks) without the dreadful task of stirring for 1-2
hours straight. Check Ebay and choose a Chinese supplier. I got mine for 200
Euro, shipping included (found the supplier on Ebay). European versions cost
500-1000 € in comparison.
Renting a lab
Many individuals make the mistake of using their urban apartment as a lab.
Firstly; if anyone (neighbours, friends, family) sees you wearing a respirator
face mask/hazmat suit they will notify the system protectors. If they
accidentally find any of your equipment they may notify the system protectors.
If anyone smells chemical odors in your block they will also notify the system
protectors. Don’t be an idiot and take unnecessary risks. Rent a small
cottage/farm in an isolated place. If you can’t afford to, then you shouldn’t be
working with explosives anyway and should consider limiting your operation to
one which only requires guns.
·
Rent a cottage in the rural parts of your country for this purpose. The cottage
needs to have electricity and running water. Cost: 100-500 € per month. You
probably need the place for at least 3 but up to 6 months depending on the
quantity of explosives you intend to manufacture.
·
Camouflaging your lab: invest in “fog stickers” to temporarily put on all
windows, or use curtains. You may have to open 1-2 windows to ensure proper
ventilation so make sure no one can look directly in by placing panels or
something else to cover the lines of sight. Cost: 20-50 €.

Note: There was a minimum order of 10 for certain items from the supplier I
selected. Therefore, I had to buy more glass beakers and conical flasks than
needed. Still, I have only listed the required amount of equipment and not the
surplus amount I bought. Conical flasks are often better than beakers due to the
ease of using funnels etc. in them, + the liquid inside doesn’t evaporate as
quickly due to the narrow neck of the conical flask.
End note: I tried to contact three international suppliers of second hand lab
ware (one German, one British and one US) but they all advised me to just order
from a national/local supplier, as glass ware is usually bought
locally/nationally due to their relatively low cost. So just contact f example
the local supplier in your country who supplies high schools and
colleges/universities or alternative suppliers.
3.49 Manufacturing explosives - Recommended explosives
An explosive device is usually divided into 3 separate charges:
1.
Primary charge/detonator (Usually not more than 6-20 g)
2.
Secondary charge – booster charge (Usually not more than 50 g to 2 kg)
3.
Tertiary charge (the bulk of the explosives, 50-5000 kg)
The size of your primary and secondary charge relies on the quantity, quality
and purity of your tertiary charge. I have concluded that the following
explosives are the most suitable for my purpose (as of 2010) based on a variety
of factors:
DDNP as detonator (primary charge)
Picric Acid as booster (secondary charge)
ANFO/or ANNM (tertiary charge)
I will try to point out some challenges and present advice regarding which
compounds are still available to us as of 2010
How to locate bomb-making recipes, guides and other relevant instructions on the
internet
Before starting your “explosives research phase” you must at least use services
such as anonymizer.com which hides your IP. Anonymizer.com`s service offers you,
as far as I know, a descent level of protection as of 2010. Try to avoid forums
and sites that seems suspect in regards to surveillance. Try not to register
your name etc. in order to get access to forums.
The first week of my “explosive research phase” I googled for 200 hours over the
course of 2 weeks. I was worried that I had to use obscure search engines if
google had banned many search phrases or sources, but to my surprise google
seemed to be fully functional in this regard. There are a lot of various
explosives forums around (f example: roguesci.org/theforum) which will discuss
in depth concerning hundreds of different recipes and methods of manufacture
explosives. There are hundreds of various books out there about this subject.
However, most of them are quite difficult to locate unless you know the title of
the book. I will provide a list of descent books you can locate:

Manufacturing explosives – worth it or not?
Everyone should be aware of the fact that the EUSSR intelligence agencies have
successfully uncovered and apprehended 200-300 Jihadi cells on European soil
since 9/11. 95%+ of them was in the process of creating explosives. Imagine if
these individuals had ignored explosives altogether and instead focused on small
arms operations. If they had, they would have successfully murdered more than
1000 Europeans by now. These were all Mujahedeen though with an apparently rigid
mentality.
All Justiciar Knights must ask themselves; should I manufacture explosives or
just stick to fire arms? This decision really boils down to what you expect to
accomplish. A well planned assault with an assault rifle may kill 30 category B
traitors, while an unsuccessful explosive manufacturing process might result in
1 dead Justiciar Knight and thus 0 traitor executions. Also, there is a 30%
chance of being apprehended during an explosive manufacturing process (for a
non-blacklisted person with no criminal record) which doubles for every person
involved. For a blacklisted individual (blacklisted by the intelligence agency)
there is less than 10% chance for success with the manufacture of explosives. If
he includes 3 other blacklisted individuals this 10% chance is reduces to 3%.
So the question remains; is it really worth risking your life for a military
operation with only 3% success rate? It is probably worth it if you have a
realistic chance (50%+) of successfully creating a 500 kg truck bomb, which has
the capability to destroy a medium or large building, thus instantly executing
100-300 category A, B and C traitors. However, if your bomb is only likely to
have the capacity to kill 1-15 individuals, you are probably better off focusing
on perfecting a small arms operation. Because a small arms operation should
result in 10-30 executions for single cell operations, 20-60 executions for duo
cell and 30-90 executions for triple cell. So before you decide whether you want
to incorporate an explosive component to your operation; be pragmatic and always
choose a realistic option which reflects your capabilities. Never choose
operations which has a lower than 50% success rate, unless the payoff is
exceptionally high. Be ambitious but at the same time; don’t be naive. The
manufacturing of explosives is not for anyone and should NOT be the goal for
everyone. A successful mission MUST be the ultimate goal for any and all
Justiciar Knights, and for the most part; this will include limiting your
operation to small arms shock attacks of undefended concentrations of category
A, B and C traitors.
Primary charge/detonator (Usually not more than 6-20 g)
Blasting cap/Primary Explosives
A blasting cap is a small sensitive primary explosive device generally used to
detonate a larger, more powerful and less sensitive secondary explosive such as
TNT, dynamite or plastic explosive.
1.
Non electric caps
2.
Electric caps
3.
Fuse caps
Most blasting caps contain what is called a primary explosive. A blasting cap
may also contain a booster, another explosive to make the cap more powerful, and
thus more reliable for detonating secondary stabile explosives.
Primary explosives can detonate by the action of a relatively weak mechanical
shock or by a spark; if used in the form of blasting caps, they initiate the
booster which then initiates the main explosive. They are also filled in
percussion caps mixed with friction agents and other components. An initiating
explosive must be highly brisant and must have a high triggering velocity. The
most important/popular primary explosives are Mercury Fulminate, DDNP
(diazodinitrophenol), Acetone Peroxide (AP), HMTD (Hexamethylene
Triperoxide Diamine),
PETN (too difficult to produce), Lead Azide, Lead Trinitroresorcinate, Silver
Azide, and Tetrazene.
Description of the four most popular primary explosives:
Acetone Peroxide
Stability:EXTREMELY unstable
Risk: Unacceptable (30%+ chance of blowing yourself up)
Easy to manufacture: relatively easy
Very popular among Jihadi terrorists and probably the easiest compound to
manufacture (although Hydrogen Peroxide is increasingly harder to acquire due to
EU anti-terror laws). I only found one single UK supplier on Ebay for the 30%
liquid. However, do not try to create this as it is EXTREMELY unstable
(sensitive to friction and shock). It is a 40% probability that you will end up
blowing yourself up.
Mercury Fulminate
Stability:VERY unstable
Risk: Somewhat acceptable (15%+ chance of blowing yourself up)
Easy to manufacture: relatively easy
Very popular among recreational users. This compound is noticeably more stable
than AP but still caries VERY HIGH risk as it is unstable and sensitive to
friction, shock and even to static electricity. 5 times more safe than AP.
DDNP
(Diazodinitrophenol)
Stability:unstable (But significantly more stable than AP and considerably more
stable than MF)
Risk: Somewhat acceptable (less than 5-10%+ chance of blowing yourself up)
Easy to manufacture: moderately easy
When creating a blasting cap it is recommended that you choose DDNP as it is
significantly less sensitive than MF and AP, yet still sensitive enough to
effectively initiate all boosters and many secondary explosives. It still
carries HIGH risk as it is unstable and sensitive to friction, shock and to a
degree static electricity. 10 times more safe than AP. The charge however must
be a minimum of 6 g and confined in order to detonate properly.
If I had to choose a compound in which to produce I would select DDNP first,
then either MF or HMTD.
HMTD
(Hexamethylenetriperoxidediamine) – Not properly reviewed
Hexamethylenetriperoxidediamine, or H.M.T.D., is a primary explosive, very good
for a home manufacturer due to the ingredients, which in Europe is very easy to
find. It is a better initiator, and less sensitive, than Mercury Fulminate, and
more storage stable than C.T.A.P. VoD is 5100 m/s at 1.10 g/cm3. Relative
briscancy = 0.35.
Like all explosives, in particular organic peroxides, this should not be stored
for extended periods of time. It gradually decomposes (although I have a very
old sample which is still fine), and there have been some cases of spontaneous
detonation. I think this is due to insufficient washing, however.
Not properly reviewed. My impression is that
DDNP is a better option. You might want to choose HMTD if you are having
problems acquiring the materials for DDNP.
The best and safest choice as of 2010 would be DDNP:
DDNP - General information
4,6-Dinitrobenzene-2-diazo-1-oxide,
Synonyms: DINOL, Diazodinitrophenol
FORMULA:
C6H2N4O5
VoD:
4400 m/s @ 0.9 g/cc. 6600 m/s @
1.5 g/cc. 6900 m/s @ 1.6 g/cc.
7000 m/s @ 1.63 g/cc.
EQUIVALENCE:
# 8 cap = 0.7 g. # 6 cap = 0.5
g.
SENSITIVITY:
Friction: less sensitive than mercury fulminate.
Small quantities burn like guncotton. Will detonate in quantities larger
than 6 g.
DRAWBACKS:
Obscure chemicals needed.
COMPATIBILITY:
Nearly all high explosives and metals.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Lead block expansion: 326 cc./10 grams
The recommended primary explosive is DDNP because it’s non toxic, easy to make
and not too sensitive. The sensitivity of DDNP to friction is much less than
that of mercury fulminate, but it is approximately that of lead azide. DDNP is
used with other materials to form priming mixtures, particularly where a high
sensitivity to flame or heat is desired. DDNP is often used as an initiating
explosive in propellant primer devices and is a substitute for lead styphnate in
what are termed "non-toxic" (lead free) priming explosive compositions.
DDNP (diazodinitrophenol) is a primary high explosive. It is extensively used in
commercial blasting caps that are initiated by black powder safety fuse. It is
superior to mercury fulminate in stability but is not as stable as lead azide.
DDNP does not detonate when unconfined, but when confined has a velocity of 6900
VOD. For an initiating explosive it is relatively insensitive to friction and
impact, but still is powerfull when confined. DDNP has good properties of
storage.
Important:
The diazodinitrophenol must be dried before it will explode. Drying will take 24
hours if done at room temperature, or in 2 hours if the crystals are placed in a
beaker suspended in hot water. The diazodinitrophenol must be stored in a sealed
glass container. Storing the explosive moist, about 25% water, will increase
safety. Dry immediately before use.
DDNP safety
Do not store this material dry for long periods of time. For storage, store
submerged in water-free kerosene in tightly sealed amber glass bottles away from
light.
DDNP is desensitized by immersion in water.
It decomposes when exposed to direct sunlight and explodes violently when heated
to 150 C. Detonates easily by sparks, fire, percussion or friction. It can be
compressed substantially without detonation or decomposition and compressed
samples can still be easily detonated. DDNP is less sensitive then mercury
fulminate and has a greater detonating velocity.
It detonates when struck a sharp blow but if it is ignited when it is
unconfined, it burns with a quick flash, even in quantities of several grams.
This burning produces little or no local shock and will not initiate the
explosion of a high explosive.
Manufacturing method 1 –
DDNP/Diazodinitrophenol
DDNP or dinol, which stands for Diazodinitrophenol, has a reputation of being
one of the best primaries out there when it comes to performance. Its synthesis
is often disregarded because few people have gotten it to work. It has a very
high stability considering it’s a primary. The only downside to this is that
some of the chemicals needed for the procedure are hard to find or must be
synthesized. The synthesis actually has a lot of reactions going on throughout
it. It is mainly two parts; preparation of sodium picramate, then diazotation of
picramic acid. I have actually gotten this procedure to work, and I am satisfied
with my product.
C6H3N3O7 + NaOH ---> C6H2N3O7Na + H2O (Picric acid neutralized to sodium
picrate)
S + NaOH ----> Na2Sx (Sodium Polysulfide)
C6H2N3O7Na + Reducing compound ----> C6H4N3O5Na (Sodium picrate reduced to
sodium picramate)
C6H4N3O5Na + H2SO4 ----> C6H5N3O5 + NaHSO4 (Sodium picramate acidified into
picramic acid)
C6H5N3O5 + HNO2 ----> C6H3N4O5 (picramic acid diazotized)
Materials
Equipment
Picric Acid
Sodium Hydroxide (compound which you will create from sub-materials)
Glass funnel
Sulfur
1000ml beaker
Sulfuric Acid
Ice bath and equipment
Sodium Nitrite - 200ml evaporating dish
Acetone (150 ml per batch, so 500-1000 ml should be enough), used to mix with
semi pure DDNP, and then filter, and then evaporate in dish to create pure DDNP.
250ml beaker
1.
Into a 600ml beaker, pour 100mls of water and heat up to ~70-80C.
2.
Add 9 grams of finely powdered picric acid to this and swirl it a little bit. It
will not all dissolve however, so don't assume you're getting anywhere by
swirling it for 24 hours.
3.
Now add 1.5 grams of sodium hydroxide to this. Swirl this mixture around until
everything inside dissolves. Yes it will all dissolve just keep swirling. The
solution will turn to an orangish color. This is a sodium picrate solution. Keep
this on low heat and add water as it evaporates.
4.
In another beaker, pour 300mls of water and 8.0 grams of sodium hydroxide. Bring
the solution to a rolling boil.
5.
Measure out 7.5 grams of pure sulfur, and crush it finely. Sieve it into the
boiling sodium hydroxide solution making sure to get as little sulfur on the
sides of the beaker as possible. Let this boil for 60-120min (1 to 2 hours),
adding water as necessary. After this amount of time, most if not all of the
sulfur should be dissolved. If you sit and watch it the whole time, you will
notice a color change from clear to green to blue, to puke green, to pea green,
then to a very dark color and once all the sulfur dissolves it will be a very
very dark red color. Set this on a towel or similar device and let it cool down
until it stops boiling. The reason for the towel is so that it doesn't come in
direct contact with any room temperature (or colder) surface.
6.
Once it stopped boiling (but is still hot) add it to the sodium picrate solution
in the other beaker, in 4 portions.
7.
Once all of it is added, place the beaker in a refrigerator (about 4C) until its
cold. There should be a healthy amount of red crystals in the bottom of the
beaker.
8.
Filter the whole solution into the 600ml beaker that was used in the last step.
Discard the filtrate and clean that beaker out.
9.
Pour 300mls of water in it and bring it to a boil. Add the red crystals in the
filter (and everything else) to the boiling water and boil it for 2-3 minutes.
While it is still boiling clean out the other 600ml beaker which should be
empty.
10.
Filter the boiling solution into the clean 600ml beaker. Discard the filter and
its contents and let the filtrate cool to room temp. This is now a sodium
picramate solution.
11.
When the sodium picramate solution is at room temp, drip concentrated sulfuric
acid in there with stirring. Keep dripping it in there until it just barely
tests acidic on litmus paper. This will take 1-2ml. You will also notice that
the color has changed from a deep red color to a sort of rusty color. There is
also a precipitate in the beaker (and a lot of it). This is picramic acid.
12.
Measure out 7.5 grams of sulfuric acid and add it to this beaker. Mix the beaker
up, then pour it into a 1000ml beaker. Add another 100ml of water to this.
13.
Place this beaker in an ice bath and bring the temperature down below 5C.
14.
In another 600ml beaker, pour 250ml of water and add 5.4 grams of sodium
nitrite. Swirl it until its dissolved.
15.
Now, slowly add this solution to the picramic acid solution in the 1000ml
beaker, keeping the temperature below 5C. Be sure to stir almost constantly
during this part. You can stop stirring if you're not adding anything if you
need a break though. Once all of it is added, continue stirring for a couple
more minutes then remove it from the ice bath. Let it slowly warm up to room
temperature. You will see a brown precipitate (the shade of brown varies
sometimes).
16.
Once it is up to room temperature, filter the solution out. There is a lot of
DDNP crystals in here, so use two different filter papers. Try to even the
amounts of DDNP on each filter paper when filtering.
17.
Once all the crystals are filtered out, run 60ml of cold water through each
filter to wash out some of the very soluble products. Remember, DDNP is slightly
soluble in water so make sure it’s cold.
18.
Scrape the DDNP on the filter papers into a 250ml beaker. Add acetone to this,
100-150ml should be fine to dissolve all the DDNP. Swirl it around good to
dissolve as much as possible. There will be a significant amount of impurities
that are undissolved which should be yellow; the solution should be brown.
19.
Filter this solution out into a 200ml evaporating dish. Discard the filter and
the contents of it. Place the 200ml evaporating dish on top of a 1000ml beaker
with boiling water in the bottom of it. Keep boiling the water so that the steam
boils away the acetone (do this outside or with good ventilation). Eventually
you will be left with a brown crystal in your evaporating dish. This is pure
DDNP.
DO NOT SCRAPE THIS STUFF OFF THE EVAP DISH. Get as much as you can of the loose
crystal, but don't scrape at the layer stuck to the evaporating dish because
this compound is friction sensitive. The yield I achieved was 3.7 grams. This is
a poor yield mainly because I lost a lot during purification because a filter
paper ripped open (I know, I know; excuses excuses).

Manufacturing method 4 –
DDNP/Diazodinitrophenol
Its preparation is very simple, needing only picramic acid, sodium or potassium
nitrite, and some dilute hydrochloric or 85%+ sulfuric acid. Obtaining the
picramic acid will be impossible for most, so I included how it can be prepared
in the synthesis section.
Diazodinitrophenol is prepared by a diazotization reaction, this happens when an
amine substituient, NH2, on an aromatic ring, loses its hydrogen
atoms and forms a triple bond with another nitrogen atom.
1.
Place 120 mL of 5% hydrochloric acid in a 250-mL beaker
2.
Then immerse the beaker in a salt-ice bath. Place the ice bath on top of a
magnetic stirrer and drop a spin bar in the beaker.
3.
Slowly add 10 g of picramic acid to the acid solution while stirring rapidly,
monitor the temperature with a thermometer. Be sure there is no sudden rise in
temperature. If you do not have a magnetic stirrer, use a stirring rod and stir
like the wind.
4.
Dissolve 3.6 g of sodium nitrite in 10 mL of water.
5.
After the picramic acid has dissolved, add the sodium nitrite solution all at
once and continue stirring for 20 minutes.
6.
Filter the solution to collect the dark brown crystals that should have formed
and wash them with cold water. The diazodinitrophenol thus formed can be used as
is, or it can be purified by dissolving in hot acetone then precipitated by
adding a large volume of ice water while rapidly mixing the liquid. This
treatment will convert the diazodinitrophenol into bright yellow crystals. You
will need a graduated cylinder for measuring liquids.
Booster charge – secondary charge (Usually not more than 50 g to 2 kg based on
size of tertiary charge)
Picric Acid
A booster containing 100-500 g of Picric Acid is used to amplify the Blasting
Cap, which together will set of the 50 kg + tertiary explosive. Picric acid is
also one of the components in DDNP so selecting PA as booster and DDNP as the
blasting cap reduces the complexity of production and total variety of materials
required. The booster is placed in a metal cylinder (coated with a layer of
plastic on the inside) and the blasting cap. The blasting cap consists of a
smaller metal cylinder (again coated with a layer of plastic on the inside)
which is placed inside the larger booster cylinder. Ensure that the cylinder
walls have a plastic layer/acid resistant epoxy to prevent the PA or the DDNP
from coming in contact with metal.
I’ve added three separate descriptions of a PA production method based on
Aspirin (and I’ve chosen not to merge the information) as insights from three
sources will teach the reader alternative considerations and aspects of the
production process.

General information about Picric Acid
PA used to be the most common high explosive before TNT was commercialized and
was used as the primary explosive for munitions during the First and Second
World War.
Picric acid is considered in the same category as TNT, the only drawback of
Picric acid is that it reacts with metals.
Picric Acid can be mixed with olive oil as a means of reducing sensitiveness.
These explosives are relatively insensitive and are used to strengthen the
explosion of the detonator. These explosives are classified as a high explosive.
Additional production tips
Boiling sulfuric acid will concentrate it to above 90% which is more than
adequate for making picric acid.
When washing, use only cold water (because it is soluble in hot water)
The next morning the picric acid will be found to have separated in crystals.
These are transferred to a porcelain filter, washed with small portions of water
until the washings are free from sulfate, and dried in the air.
The crude product, which is equal in quality to a good commercial sample, is
purified by boiling it with water, in the proportion of 15 grams to the liter,
filtering hot, and allowing to cool slowly. The heavy droplets of brown oil
which dissolve only slowly during this boiling ought to be discarded. Pure
picric acid crystallizes from water in pale yellow flat needles,
Common Questions and Answers
The only problem I had while making it was that when you dump the finished
nitrated liquid into ice water to precipitate the picric acid, a lot of the
picric dissolves in the water. Is there any way to get the dissolved picric out
of the water? Ensure you have enough ice and add just a little at a time. Keep
it cool or it will fail to precipitate properly.
Safety – Picric Acid:
CAUTION! THIS COMPOUND MAY EXPLODE INSTANTLY WHEN TOUCHED WITH METAL
Also, don't inhale any of the fumes given off during the nitrate addition to the
acid mix. Do all the heating and mixing outdoors or counter by having good
ventilation in addition to wearing a gas mask (3M with acidic/vapor/organic
filter).
It is best handled in a wet 10 percent distilled water form, as picric becomes
very unstable when completely dry. This compound should never be put into direct
contact with metal, since instantly on contact there is a formation of metal
picric, which explodes spontaneously upon formation.
Any metal in contact with picric acid should be coated with an acid proof paint
or an epoxy coat.
Modern safety precautions recommend storing picric acid wet. Dry picric acid is
relatively sensitive to shock and friction, so laboratories that use it store it
in bottles under a layer of water, rendering it safe. Glass or plastic bottles
are required, as picric acid can easily form metal picrate salts that are even
more sensitive and hazardous than the acid itself.
Safety glasses, adequate ventilation. If working with anything other than a
solution or the wet solid full face protection is essential.
Maintain at least a 20% water content at all times. Never try to open a bottle
of picric acid if crystals are visible at the rim of the bottle, even if the
bottle contains water, since the friction when the cap is twisted may be
sufficient to detonate the acid.
When the substance goes beyond a certain timeframe, it can become dangerous to
transport so produce not longer than 2-4 weeks before use.
Unstable; may detonate if struck, heated or ground. Highly flammable if dry. May
explode if dry - keep wet at all times. Keep water content above 20%.
Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, bases, most common metals, ammonia,
strong reducing agents. Avoid shock, friction, heat. Compounds formed by
reaction with metals are usually shock-sensitive explosives. The most serious
hazard associated with this chemical is the risk of explosion, which is severe
if the acid is dry. Nevertheless, it is at least 10-20 times as safe to handle
(in regards to shock/friction, in dry form, compared to AP (A. Peroxide).
Shells which are to be loaded with these explosives are first plated on the
inside with tin or painted with asphaltum varnish or Bakelite.
Always keep a bucket full of cold water close to production site in case
everything goes wrong. Dump the compound in the bucket if you all else fail.
Manufacturing method 1 –
Picric Acid/Trinitrophenol (from
aspirin, Acetylsalicylic Acid)
Also called Picric Acid, TNP, Lyddite and Shimose. This explosive is slightly
more powerful than TNT, and has a VoD of 7480 m/s at 1.76 g/cm3.
Relative briscancy = 1.21
It can be used as-is, or to make the following explosives: Ammonium Picrate
(Explosive D), DDNP and Lead Picrate.
It is relatively storage stable, but will form dangerously sensitive metal
Picrates if it comes into contact with certain metals. To store it in absolute
safety, make a saturated solution out of it in alcohol and store it in sealed
glass containers. It can be stored indefinitely like this.
You will need:
96 aspirin tablets, each containing 300mg of aspirin,
120mL of 95% sulphuric acid,
60g of potassium nitrate,
Acetone,
Distilled water,
Some ice cubes (c. 10),
A pestle and mortar,
A gas or alcohol burner,
A 250mL conical flask,
A 1L container,
Two 250mL beakers,
A 500ml beaker,
A filter funnel,
A thermometer,
Filter papers,
A glass rod.
1) Place the aspirins in the pestle and mortar, and crush them. They don't have
to be fine, but the finer they are the better.
2) Heat 150mL of acetone (methylated spirits will work) in a 250mL beaker until
it's nearly boiling. Add the aspirin powder, and stir it with a glass rod until
the grains have all disintegrated, leaving a small amount of white powder at the
bottom of the alcohol.
3) Filter this liquid into the other 250mL beaker. Throw away the solid left on
the filter paper.
4) Gently heat the filtrate to reduce its volume, until crystals begin to
appear. Then let it cool and evapourate over night in a warm place.
5) Scrape up the crystals, and store them.
6) Heat the sulphuric acid to 65*C in a 250ml flask, and while it's heating up
gradually stir in the purified aspirin using the thermometer.
7) When all of the aspirin has been added, let the solution cool to 50*C.
8) Add the potassium nitrate constantly, at a rate of about 1 to 2 grams every
minute, while stirring rapidly. The temperature should be kept between about
60*C and 70*C. When I do this, I get very little nitrogen dioxide formed, just
nitric acid vapours and CO2, formed by decarboxylation. Others claim to have
clouds of nitrogen dioxide formed. This is because they add the potassium
nitrate too fast, and it wastes the potassium nitrate.
9) When all of the potassium nitrate has been added, let the solution cool to
roon temperature, and dump it into 300mL of distilled water, with the ice cubes,
in a 1L container. This will precipitate out the Trinitrophenol as light canary
yellow crystals.
10) Filter the liquid once most of the ice has melted, or remove the ice when
the temperature is below 5*C, and discard of the liquid carefully as it is toxic
and corrosive. You can concentrate it and extract slightly more Trinitrophenol,
but it isn't really worth it..
11) Take the crystals formed, and add them to 100mL of boiling water in a 500mL
beaker. Stir, and add more water until all the crystals have dissolved.
12) Cool the solution in the fridge, and filter out the purified crystals.
13) Leave them spread out to dry.
Manufacturing method 2 –
Picric Acid/Trinitrophenol (from
aspirin, Acetylsalicylic Acid)
How to produce picric acid (2,4,6- trinitrophenol) at home from common
ingedients.
This method is based on the descriptions in "Improvised Kitchen Plastic
Explosives II" by Tim Lewis using acetylsalicylic acid, sulfuric acid and either
potassium or sodium nitrate.
The ratios given there are 40g acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), 150ml sulfuric
acid and 77g potassium or 58g sodium nitrate = 1 : 3,75 : 1,9 - acetylsalicylic
acid : sulfuric acid : potassium nitrate.
First time I attempted to produce PA (picric acid) I used the ratios mentioned
in "Kitchen Improvised Blasting Caps" by Tim Lewis and Mega's site. They suggest
to use 100 crushed aspirin tablets/ 37,5g (very vague but some people mentioned
the acetylsalicylic acid content to be 0,375g per tablet - maybe standard in the
US?), 700ml sulfuric acid (!) and 75g of either potassium or sodium nitrate. I
think this is too much sulfuric acid: when I poured the nitrated mix in the
crushed ice & water it warmed so much all the ice melted and the shit was still
warm. The yield was ca. 8g from 30g acetylsalicylic acid :-( acetylsalicylic
acid purification
1.
120 aspirin tablets each containing 500mg acetylsalicylic acid and 50mg starch &
microcristalline cellulose was crushed to powder.
2.
This powder was dumped in 600ml of 60 °C ethanol (denaturated brand with 1%
butanone) causing the acetylsalicylic acid to dissolve.
3.
The hot alcohol/acetylsalicylic acid solution was filtered through two coffee
filters.
4.
The normally clear liquid (a little brown/yellow coloring resulted from using
non-bleached filter paper) was evaporated on a boiling waterbath in a 2l
steelbowl. This took about 80 minutes.
5.
The result: pure, crystalline acetylsalicylic acid.
6.
The acetylsalicylic acid crystals were spread in a glass dish and heated in oven
at 70 °C for 30 minutes to evaporate the remaining ethanol. Result: 56g (60g
theoretically) nitration
7.
Then the 56g acid crystals were put in a 500ml erlenmeyerflask containing 220ml
concentrated sulfuric acid 96%.
8.
The acid was heated to dissolve the crystals. (Temp. around 70 °C)
9.
220ml sulfuric acid failed to dissolve all 56g acetylsalicylic acid. Small
portions sulfuric acid was added until all acetylsalicylic acid was dissolved.
Finally a total of 330ml sulfuric acid was used.
10.
The dark red solution (~400ml) was poured in an 1000ml erlenmeyerflask. To
prevent spreading clouds of NOx a 100ml erlenmeyerflask was put upside down in
the mouth of the 1000ml erlenmeyerflask and only removed for nitrate addition.
11.
The addition of 115g dry potassium nitrate (outside) was carried out in small
portions using a folded piece of paper. This took 75 minutes. (The color of the
solution changes with the addition of the nitrate from very dark red to a
yellow/orange tone.)
12.
After all potassium nitrate was added the solution was allowed to cool to room
temperature. The hot liquid was clear, while cooling many tiny yellow crystals
precipated until it was more or less thick slurry. (similar to AP slurry)
Precipitation & purification
13.
A 1,5l glass standing in a plastic bowl was filled with 750g fine crushed ice
(distilled water) and 250ml cold distilled water.
14.
The acid was poured slowly into the ice/water mix. Because the acid was poured
not slowly enough a *big* foaming started and some of the yellow foam and liquid
was lost by overflow. SHIT - i wanted to know the yield of this method! A little
red-brown NOx gas was released too, i think it was trapped in the foam.
15.
Most of the crystals collected at the bottom of the glass after 20min, ca. 700ml
liquid were carefully poured off and replaced by 500ml cold distilled water.
16.
After waiting a few minutes for the crystals to settle again , the content was
filtered through a coffee filter. The resulting liquid was disposed and the
crystals scooped out of the filter. (No metals here, use wood or plastic!)
Result: 120g of wet picric acid with unknown water content.
17.
Now the 120g picric acid crystals were dissolved in 300ml boiling distilled
water and then cooled to 25 °C (perhaps cooling it down to let's say 10 °C would
increase the yield a little bit...) Again filtering through a coffee filter the
crystals were scooped out of the filter and placed in a pyrex dish.
Drying & further processing
18.
The pyrex dish with the PA was placed in an oven set to 80 °C, which was checked
with a digital thermometer. (most of the time the temp. was around 75 °C) It
remained there for 120 minutes.
19.
The total amount of dry PA was 44g. What the fuck? There where 76g water in the
first filtered crystal portion??? Or are there so much impurities that dissolve
in the washing??? I filtered at ca. 25 °C, perhaps cooling it down to let's say
10 °C would increase the yield a little bit...
Optional - Plastic explosive
20.
4,4g white candle wax and 2,2g vaseline (peroleum jelly) were molten in a hot
water bath, poured on the dry PA and kneaded in (suggested in KIPE II to produce
a plastic explosive). However it didn't get very plastic although it's possible
to form little balls that don't crumble. But without a container it will not
hold together in larger quantities.
21.
The 50g explosive mix were put in a pill box and fired with a 2g AP detonator.
Very loud, but not as impressive as I thought. Maybe the wax shit wasn't the
best idea, it becomes a little insensitive.
Manufacturing method 3 –
Picric Acid/Trinitrophenol (from
aspirin, Acetylsalicylic Acid)
From “Preparatory Manual of Explosives – Ledgard.pdf”
Picric acid is a pale yellow, odorless solid with a melting point of 123
celsius. It explodes when heated to 300 C. It is relatively insoluble in water,
but soluble in alcohol and benzene. Picric acid is toxic and can be absorbed
through the skin with effects similar to DNP. Picric acid should be stored wet
with 10% water, and kept in a cool place and away from fire. Picric acid will
detonate if rapidly heated or on percussion – the percussion is much higher than
for most primary explosives.
VOD: 7400
Sensitivity: Low
Stability: Good
Flammability: Burns with smoky flame but may flash on strong ignition
Toxicity: Above moderate
Classification: Secondary explosive
Overall value (as secondary explosive): High
Materials:
50 g of aspirin
350 ml of 95% ethyl alcohol
350 g of 98% sulfuric acid
115 g of potassium nitrate or 95 g of sodium nitrate
Summary: In this procedure, picric acid is prepared by the reaction of common
aspirin with potassium or sodium nitrate in the presence of excess concentrated
sulfuric acid. After the reaction, the entire mixture is then drowned into an
excessive amount of ice water, whereby the picric acid precipitates, and is then
collected by filtration, washed and then dried.
Hazards: Use caution when handling 98% sulfuric acid, which is highly corrosive
and chars many substances. Extinguish all flames before using 95% ethyl alcohol,
which is flammable.
Procedure: Place 50 g of aspirin into a beaker, and then add 350 ml of 95% ethyl
alcohol (note: about 50 g of aspirin can be obtained by crushing up 100, 500 mg
tablets of store bought aspirin tablets – these crushed up tablets can be added
directly to the 350 ml of 95% ethyl alcohol). Thereafter, stir the mixture to
fully dissolve the aspirin, and then filter off any insoluble impurities – such
as starch, and other fillers (if using medical aspirin tablets), and then
recrystallize the aspirin from the 95% ethyl alcohol solution. Thereafter,
vacuum dry or air-dry the collected aspirin crystals. Now, into a clean flask
equipped with thermometer, motorized stirrer and powder funnel, place 350 g of
98% sulfuric acid, and then place this flask into an ice
bath, and chill to 0 celsius. Thereafter, slowly add in small portions,
115 g of potassium nitrate or 95 g of sodium nitrate to the sulfuric acid over a
period of about 1 hour, while rapidly stirring the sulfuric acid, and
maintaining its temperature below 5 celsius. After the addition of the sodium or
potassium nitrate, slowly add the dry recrystallized aspirin, in small portions,
over a period of about 1 hour while rapidly stirring the sulfuric acid/nitrate
mixture, and keeping it temperate below 5 celsius. After the addition of the
aspirin, replace the powder funnel with a condenser, and reflux the mixture for
2 hours at 60 celsius while rapid stirring. After 2 hours, remove the heat
source and allow the reaction mixture to cool to room temperature. Then
gradually add the reaction mixture to 1500 ml of ice water, and then allow the
entire mixture to stand for 3 hours. Thereafter, filter off the precipitated
picric acid, wash excessively with 10, 250 ml portions of ice cold water. Note:
washing with base to remove traces of acid should be avoided as formation of the
corresponding picrate salts may develop. After the washing process, vacuum dry
or air dry the solid product.
Note, equipment used: a condenser and a hot plate stirrer is a bonus but not
required.
Manufacturing method 4 –
Picric Acid/Trinitrophenol (from
aspirin, Acetylsalicylic Acid)
1.
Crush 20, 5 grain aspirin tablets and add 1 tsp. of water to it to make a paste.
2.
2. Stir in 1/2 cup of ethyl alcohol to the aspirin paste and then filter the
solution to remove any solid particles.
3.
Evaporate the alcohol and recover the crystals that are left.
4.
Pour 1/3 cup of concentrated sulfuric acid into a large jar and add the crystals
from the alcohol solution.
5.
Heat the acid in a simmering hot water bath for 15 mins. The acid should turn a
reddish color.
6.
Now add 15 gms. of potassium nitrate to the acid 5 gms. at a time while
stirring.
7.
Let the acid cool to room temperature then pour the acid slowly into 1 1/2 cups
of water and let it cool down again.
8.
Filter off the particles of picric acid and wash them with 1 cup of ice water.
Dry these crystals before using them.
Picric acid is a very strong dye. Contact with it will stain just about
anything. Picric acid also reacts with metal to form picrate salts that are a
hazard.
Alternative booster:
Bullseye
gunpowder + NM
A high
explosive can be composed out of bullseye gunpowder. Nitromethane is added to a
quarter kilo of bullseye until it is the consistency of thick gel. Then one
eighth of a kilo of pure ammonium nitrate (from cold packs) is added to it and
kneaded. This is placed in a plastic bag and detonated in a metal pipe with #8
detonator. This has twice the power of C4.
Tertiary charge (the bulk of the explosives, 50-5000 kg)
ANNM (ammonium nitrate + nitromethane), also known as Kinepak
ANFO (ammonium nitrate + fuel oil)
Both ANFO and ANNM requires confinement for optimal detonation and brisance.
ANNM usually contains a 60:40(kinepak) mix of AN and NM (60% ammonium nitrate,
40% nitromethane by mass), though this results in a wet slurry. However, a
smaller portion of NM may be used. Sometimes more AN is added to reduce
liquidity and make it easier to store and handle, as well as providing an
oxygen-balanced mix. ANNM is also more sensitive to shock than standard ANFO and
is therefore easier to detonate. These factors, plus its higher RE and VOD, make
it a popular explosive among recreational users.
ANNM detonates at 22,700 fps.
The quality of your end product
really depends on the AN, how fine it is and the quality. Industrial ANNM (used
for blasting) is 10% NM with medium prills of AN. Higher strength versions
include aluminium dust but it should be a microfine dust to get best results.
ANFO on the other hand requires 93% AN and 7% FO by weight (official
recommendation by Dupont). However, In practice, a slight excess of fuel oil is
added to compensate for any evaporation. ANFO generally requires a booster in
order to detonate. The booster will basically increase the effect of the
blasting cap to ensure reliable detonation. It is better to create a larger
booster than necessary to avoid taking unnecessary risks. The purer AN you have
the smaller booster you will need and vice versa. A 500 kg main ANFO charge
should have a 500 g booster and a 10 g blasting cap, to be safe.
Ammonium Nitrate (AN) -
KNO3
Ammonium nitrate is a very popular fertilizer in the EU and elsewhere in the
world, accounting for about 9 percent of all fertilizer used.
Evaluating fertilizers - optimal purity grade of
Ammonium Nitrate
Normally, you would need a minimum of 32% nitrogen in the fertilizer in order to
create “an optimal detonation”. However, 27% nitrogen fertilizers will do the
job as well as long as you use a larger booster.
A rather confusing factor regarding the nitrogen value; 27% nitrogen (f example
labeled as 27-0-0) does NOT mean that there is only 27% AN content. In most, if
not all, N-fertilizers you will find aprox 80% AN content. In so called “CAN”
fertilizer (Calcium Ammonium Nitrate) you will usually find approximately 75-80%
AN and 20-25% Calcium.
One source I found states the following:
If the Nitrogen in the NH4NO3 is 30-33% then you need 5-10 g of booster.
If the Nitrogen in the NH4NO3 is 20-25% then you need 15-20 g of booster.
which indicates that lower purity nitrogen fertilizer will still detonate
properly as long as you use a larger booster/blasting cap. For 50 kg of CAN
(Calsium Ammonium Nitrate) I would use a 200-500 g booster. For 500 kg of can I
would use a 500 g to 2 kg booster.
Will the CAN 27 fertilizers available at my supplier detonate without
purification?
Despite more than 6 weeks of research, and reviewing hundreds of guides and a
ton of forum posts, I was unable to confidently answer the following essential
questions:
1.
Will the following AN fertilizers (N-fertilizers) detonate without further
purification or will the Calcium, Magnesium and Sulfur additives make the AN
inert and thus unsuitable without purification?
2.
Will the prills/granules of these specific fertilizers absorb diesel and/or
nitromethane or has these products been compacted and treated with a compound
that prevents absorption of liquid so that we would first have to pulverize the
prills/granules?
Ironically, it wasn’t until I reviewed a state funded anti-terror site I was
finally able to find the answers I was looking for.
So let’s try to answer our two questions;
1.
Yes, calcium has been added to attempt to inert (make impotent) or to make the
fertilizer non-explosive. The good news is that it would require 80% Calcium
mixed with 20% AN to make the fertilizer completely inert. The only thing they
accomplish with adding 20% Calcium Carbonate is to make it a little harder to
detonate. It will f example make it hard to properly detonate smaller charges of
the fertilizer (>50 kg). This forces the handler to use larger amounts of
fertilizer (<100 kg) and use larger boosters. CAN fertilizer (Calcium Ammonium
Nitrate) is the best option when manufacturing explosives (unless you can get
your hands on pure AN which is increasingly harder to acquire in large
quantities). Also, according to a forum source, CAN fertilizer is the best
option to use for purification of AN through crystallization.
2.
Yes; they have deliberately made the granules/prills less porous (they have
compacted them) with the intention of making it harder for each granule/prill to
easily absorb fuel oil. They have therefore made it harder for us to manufacture
and prepare large quantities of AN explosives. However, this is easily bypassed
by pulverizing the granules using a wood-roller on a wood board. It is a tedious
task to pulverize 500-2000 kg of CAN fertilizer but the labour invested will be
rewarded with a considerably more potent product. CAN fertilizer should be
detonated under confinement or it may not detonate at all. Also, try to add as
much, 400 mesh, flaked aluminium powder (up to 15% by weight) to nullify the
desensitizing effect the 20% Calcium Carbonate has on the compound. Finer or
coarser aluminium powder (atomized included) will work as well but 400 mesh,
flaked aluminium powder is optimal, according to the book: Kitchen Improvised
Explosives. Mixing this pulverized compound with diesel requires a specific
approach, one which I lack experience on atm, but I will find a good way when I
get that far.
Which types of fertilizer can I use without the need to purify them?
The following 4 fertilizers are so called N-fertilizers from the Norwegian
fertilizer manufacturer Yara; one of the largest fertilizer manufacturers in the
EUs inner marked. Important note: It is the N fertilizers that are suitable for
manufacturing explosives, NOT NPK, NK, NP, PK, P or K fertilizers.
CAN N27 (CAN 27-0-0)
Kalkammonsalpeter where the nitrogen consist of equal parts of ammonium and
nitrate. Magnesium and calcium has been added into this mix in unknown
quantities. Sold in a 500 kg bag. CAN is probably an abbreviation for
Calcium-Ammonium-Nitrate.
27% nitrogen total (N) 13,5% nitrate/NO3 and 13,5% ammonium/NH4
5% Calcium (Ca)
2,4% Magnesium (Mg)
OPTI KAS 27-0-0 (OPTI-KAS is a brand name of Yara)
Kalkammonsalpeter where the nitrogen consist of equal parts of ammonium and
nitrate. Magnesium and calcium has been added into this mix in unknown
quantities. Sold in a 600 kg bag.
27% nitrogen total (N) 13,5% nitrate/NO3 and 13,5% ammonium/NH4
4,3% Calcium (Ca)
2,4% Magnesium (Mg)
OPTI-NS 27-0-0 (4S) (OPTI-NS is a brand name of Yara)
27% nitrogen total (N) 13,5% nitrate/NO3 and 13,5% ammonium/NH4
6% Calcium (Ca)
0,7% Magnesium (Mg)
3,7% Sulfur (S)
Sulfur-CAN 27-0-0 (4S)
27% nitrogen total (N) 13,5% nitrate/NO3 and 13,5% ammonium/NH4
5,4% Calcium (Ca)
4,5% Sulfur (S)
According to wiki Kalkammonsalpeter fertilizers (the two first alternatives, out
of the four) contains aprox 74% ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) and 26% Calcium as
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3). So even though the nitrogen level is stated as being
27% (very misleading) the total AN level of the fertilizer is 75-80%. It is a
bit confusing, I know.
EUSSRs efforts to make common explosive materials inert
The Western European multiculturalist regimes have made our job
and duty (to prevent the Islamic colonization of Europe through
demographic warfare) a lot more difficult as they have gone to great efforts to
desensitize and thus rendering inert explosive chemicals that can be directly
mixed and then made to detonate. A desensitized mixture can be more difficult to
initiate (cause to explode) or may explode with a dramatically reduced energy
output. A material that is difficult to initiate also requires a more energetic
initiation scheme (larger booster). Taken to its ultimate conclusion,
desensitization renders a material inert or unable to detonate. Desensitization
cannot eliminate the threat posed by bomb making and use, but it places a
heavier burden on us, thus increasing the likelihood that we will revert from
explosive shock attack strategies and move toward operations which involve mass
execution of category A and B traitors using firearms and smaller bombs instead.
Here is a section of the EUSSR strategy:
The “EU Marxist-Islamic committee for the facilitation of the successful Islamic
colonization of Europe” adopted legislation which is basically just a
cut-n-paste job from US legislation which was implemented after the Oklahoma
bombing and 9/11.
The legislation focuses on the following:
Is effective in preventing use of the chemical as an illegal explosive.
The ideal inerting method is capable of preventing an explosion when the inerted
chemical is intimately mixed with other materials (oxidizers or fuels) chosen to
provide the correct reaction stoichiometry. The chemical, mixed with other
ingredients, does not detonate in a large-diameter charge, even when driven with
a large booster.
Is immune to countermeasures.
The ideal inerted substance is not readily separated from the diluent or
detonation-arresting catalyst by physical size separation or other simple means.
A material rendered inert by a change in its morphology is not readily
convertible to the detonable form.
Retains the effectiveness of inerting over time.
The efficacy of the ideal inerting method does not degrade with time owing to
evaporation of the inerting materials or reversion to thermodynamically
preferred (more explosive) morphologies.
Retains efficiency of the inerted substance for its normal, nonexplosive use.
The ideal inerted substance retains its full utility in commerce; e.g., inerted
fertilizer-grade ammonium nitrate is still usable as fertilizer. Neither the
diluent nor the detonation-arresting catalyst has adverse effects on the
commercial high-volume uses of the substance.
“The committee developed a method of analysis to rank—by potential for use in
bomb making—a committee-derived list of commonly available explosive chemicals
that could be mixed to form explosives. The purpose of the ranking scheme,
described in Appendix K, was to characterize commercially available common
explosives chemicals according to the following criteria:
•
Availability and accessibility,
•
Ease of use in bomb making,
•
Cost, and
•
History of prior use in illegal explosives.
The results in Table 4.2 suggest that ammonium nitrate (AN) is the common
explosive chemical with the highest potential for use in a large
anti-Islamisation bomb. The ease of purchase in large quantities coupled with
ease of use confirms AN as the common chemical most likely to appeal to illicit
users. The committee therefore focused on an examination of methods to inert AN.
Although urea and nitric acid are produced in high volumes, neither can be used
as an explosive without additional chemical processing, thus making them less
threatening than AN. Many other chemicals such as ammonium perchlorate and other
perchlorates could be considered as well. However, the committee chose to
exclude military and a number of other explosives as well as energetic materials
that could potentially be obtained by illegal means. Instead, it focused on
those chemicals that could be obtained commercially in significant quantities,
emphasizing history of actual use in large bombs
The “inerting committee” focused on the following compounds by creating the
following report:
Strategy to render bulk AN inert
In principle, desensitization or inerting can be done in three general ways:
(1) by changing a material's physical form to make mixing less efficient to or
make the material less sensitive to initiation, for example, separating the fuel
from the oxidizer so that the concentrations within the reaction zone are not
balanced chemically to support detonation;
(2) by diluting the explosive material with an inert additive that will take
energy from the chemical reaction, possibly leading to failure of a detonation
or to a lower explosive yield; and
(3) by combining the material with an active additive that will catalytically
interfere with the detonation process, much as fire retardants are commonly
added to textiles and polymers to reduce their potential to burn. There is a
great attraction to the search for an additive that could, when added in small
concentrations, render energetic chemicals inert to detonation.
An extensive British research effort over the last decade has focused primarily
on inerting AN by diluting it with similar, but inert, fertilizer ingredients.
However, no practical system for inerting bulk AN has yet been found.
Beginning in 1972, regulations in Northern Ireland limited the availability of
sodium chlorate and nitrobenzene, and restricted the manufacture, sale, and
purchase of fertilizer to formulations containing no more than 79 percent AN.
Following these actions most of the AN fertilizers
used in agriculture contained dolomitic limestone or chalk as additives (in
amounts of 21 percent). This fertilizer mixture, known as calcium ammonium
nitrate (CAN), was soon adopted by terrorists for use in making bombs, several
of which have been set off with devastating effects in Northern Ireland and in
London. Although the 1972 regulations do not prevent AN bombings, they do make
the construction of AN bombs somewhat more difficult.
Regulations in South Africa classify porous prilled AN as an explosive, raising
its cost and effectively eliminating its use as a fertilizer. As a result, the
agricultural and commercial mining industries in South Africa use lime ammonium
nitrate, which is not regulated (Rorke et al., 1995).
Like CAN, lime AN contains about 20 percent calcium
carbonate (limestone) intimately mixed with the AN and manufactured to have
little porosity. Lime AN can be combined with roughly equal weights of undiluted
prilled AN and fuel oil and used as a material similar to regular ammonium
nitrate/fuel oil for blasting. Although this combination is chosen for
reasons of economy, its use suggests that the
desensitizing additives do not materially degrade the performance of the
explosive under all circumstances.
Changing Ammonium Nitrate's Physical Form
The physical form of an AN prill can be altered by changing properties such as
particle size, density, crystal structure, or porosity. A hard, dense prill (or
a prill with a nonporous outer shell) is more difficult to detonate than a
low-density porous prill. Thus, decreasing AN particle porosity, perhaps through
adjustments made in the prill manufacturing process, can desensitize the
material (Hopler, 1995). Although a change in morphology may make detonation
more difficult, it does not necessarily make it impossible. Nonporous
fertilizer-grade AN prills may still be detonable in large charges. In addition,
terrorists can make dense AN prills more easily detonable by simple (if tedious)
means.
Diluting Ammonium Nitrate
The problems with diluting AN can be understood quite easily by looking at
extreme cases. A slight dilution (for example, adding 1 part diluent per 99
parts AN) would likely have an insignificant effect on AN's function as a
fertilizer. However, such a small dilution similarly would have very little
effect in reducing the detonability of an AN/fuel mixture. Clearly, slight
dilution of AN is not effective in inerting.
On the other hand, a drastic dilution (for example, a mixture of 99 parts inert
diluent to 1 part AN) would certainly not be detonable, since the active
components (the AN molecules) would be too widely separated in the mixture to
sustain a detonation. Of course, this highly dilute mixture would also be
virtually useless as an AN fertilizer, and so drastic dilution clearly is not
practical.
Between the extremes of slight and drastic dilution, both of which present
problems, there may exist a mixture that under most circumstances is
nondetonable but still is useful as an agricultural fertilizer. To the
committee's knowledge, no such mixture exists that has a diluent concentration
of less than 20 percent. It is likely that mixtures exist with a diluent
concentration of 50 percent or more that are nondetonable under most
circumstances. However, unless the diluent were an equivalent agricultural
fertilizer, up to two times as much product would have to be used to yield the
same agricultural benefit to farmers.
Limitations of the Porter Patent
Samuel J. Porter's 1968 patent claims to render fertilizer-grade ammonium
nitrate resistant to flame and insensitive to detonation by the addition of
specific amounts of ammonium phosphates and small amounts of potassium chloride
or ammonium sulfate. It is interesting to note that Porter's intention seems to
have been to reduce accidental detonation of fertilizer-grade AN, primarily as a
result of initiation by fire, rather than to prevent intentional detonation.
The most straightforward desensitization scheme from the patent is the mixture
of 10 percent ammonium phosphate and 90 percent ammonium nitrate. The patent
claims that this AN mixture (when mixed with 5.5 percent fuel oil) is
nondetonable under specific test conditions (i.e., when tested in a
4-inch-diameter by 10-inch-long cardboard container holding approximately 3
pounds of material and initiated by a No. 8 blasting cap or a blasting cap plus
24 inches of 50-grains-per foot detonating cord).
Following the 1995 bombing in Oklahoma City, additional tests were performed to
evaluate the claims of the Porter patent (Eck, 1995). These tests showed that
mixtures of AN with diammonium phosphate, claimed by Porter to be nondetonable,
would detonate when tested in larger amounts and with greater confinement (in
6-inch-diameter steel pipes or in 80-pound quantities). The tests quoted in the
patent were performed on too small a scale and with insufficient confinement to
predict whether the mixtures were, in fact, detonable or not in sizes and
conditions likely to be found in an illegal bombing situation.
Based on its examination of efforts abroad to render ammonium nitrate inert, the
claims of the Porter patent, and its own knowledge and experience, the committee
concluded that there is no established technical basis at this time to recommend
a method for inerting bulk AN. To the committee's knowledge, no approach yet
proposed—such as dilution of AN by 20 percent with inert additives such as
limestone—achieves the desired inerting of AN, while preserving its utility as a
fertilizer for use in agriculture.
Alternatives to Inerting—Limiting Access and Availability
Retail Sale of Packaged Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizers
Approximately 90 percent of all fertilizer-grade AN is shipped as prills and
used as a bulk material. Of the 10 percent that is sold in packaged form, only
half is bagged at the production site; the other half is bagged at subsequent
points in the distribution system (IFDC, 1997), either as a mixture with other
fertilizer ingredients or as pure ammonium nitrate. Much of the distribution and
end-point sale of bulk AN occurs through agricultural distributors who are
likely to know their customers or keep business records of the sale, thus
potentially preventing untraceable large-scale sale of AN to terrorists. The
small-scale retail fertilizer market, on the other hand, is a commercial source
where AN can be purchased without purchaser identification or retailer record
keeping. It is unlikely that records exist for purchases of AN from these
sources, which include home improvement centers and discount retailers, where a
potential terrorist might buy AN for the production of a large bomb.
The committee believes that obtaining pure prilled AN from these sources can be
made more difficult without causing undue effects on the marketplace. Much of
the fertilizer sold at the retail level is already blended and is likely
nondetonable [1]. The nondetonability of such mixtures could be established by
following a suitable test protocol. Probably many fertilizer mixtures could be
certified as nondetonable by analogy to similar mixtures with the same
ingredients and with the same or lower concentration of AN, as is done in the
Department of Transportation's classification of materials for transport (United
Nations, 1995). Retail purchase of pure, packaged AN fertilizer could still be
allowed, provided that purchasers provided identification and records of the
sales were maintained.
Sale of Explosive-grade Ammonium Nitrate for Fertilizer
In considering the question of whether the markets for explosive-and
fertilizer-grade ammonium nitrate should be kept separate, the committee
observed that the prilled ammonium nitrate used by the fertilizer industry can
also be used by a determined bomber. With respect to explosive performance, the
basic difference between low-density, explosive-grade prills and high-density,
fertilizer-grade prills—assuming the same prill particle size—when formulated as
ammonium nitrate/fuel oil (ANFO) is (1) minimum charge diameter (explosive-grade
has a smaller minimum diameter than fertilizer-grade), and (2) detonation
velocity (fertilizer-grade AN has a lower detonation rate, at least in charges
close to the minimum diameter). This implies a lower detonation pressure for
fertilizer-grade AN.
It has been shown that ANFO made from modified fertilizer-grade prills can be
made to have explosive characteristics comparable to those achieved with
explosive-grade prills. Even unmodified, fertilizer-grade AN mixed with fuel has
been demonstrated to be detonable (Hopler, 1961). Therefore, there would be
little public safety benefit in excluding explosive-grade AN from the fertilizer
market.
Testing for Detonability of Inerted Bulk Fertilizer Mixtures
Unfortunately, questions about the detonability of various ammonium nitrate
mixtures cannot be answered easily. Because ANFO, a so-called nonideal
explosive, consists of a separate fuel (usually fuel oil, but possibly other
carbonaceous materials) and an oxidizer (ammonium nitrate), it releases its
energy more slowly over a longer period of time than does an "ideal" explosive
such as TNT. In addition, the behavior of a nonideal explosive does not scale
linearly with the mass of the explosive mixture (Cook, 1958). Thus, even though
tests on a smaller charge mass indicate that a mixture will not detonate, a
large charge of an AN mixture can in fact detonate (Eck, 1995). This nonideal
behavior of AN has been the source of much confusion concerning the
applicability of the claims of the Porter patent (see "Limitations of the Porter
Patent" above).
Small-scale tests currently are used by industry to assess the detonability of
explosive mixtures. In addition, it will be necessary to have a standard test
protocol to evaluate the detonability of any proposed, inerted bulk fertilizer
mixtures, whether they are based on ammonium nitrate or other ingredients, under
the conditions likely to apply in large-scale bombings.
Tests to evaluate the detonability of bulk fertilizer mixtures and proposed
inerting schemes should be performed at a sufficiently large scale to ensure
that the conclusions will also hold true for car or truck bomb quantities
(approximately 80 to 5,000 pounds). They must also employ a booster charge of
sufficient size to adequately test the detonability of candidate inerted
materials. A booster of several pounds would be typical for testing car-or
truck-bomb quantities of candidate materials. For a nonideal explosive, the
minimum, or critical, diameter of a cylindrical explosive charge that will
detonate may be relatively large (e.g., 2 inches or more). It is important, in
evaluating the detonability of a candidate inerted material, that the
experimental tests be performed on charge sizes larger than the critical
diameter. A suitable container must also be used to ensure adequate confinement.
Appendix H describes a proposed test protocol supplied for illustrative
purposes. This test, or any other that is proposed, must be experimentally
validated to confirm that it correctly predicts the detonability of known and
candidate (inerted) formulations. Such a test should serve to uniformly indicate
whether mixtures pose a potential threat in the hands of a person attempting to
construct an illegal explosive device. Once a suitable test has been developed,
many organizations should be capable of running it without difficulty (see
Appendix I).
H Test to Evaluate Detonability
An example of a standard test protocol for evaluating the detonability and
destructive capacity of bulk ammonium nitrate-based fertilizer mixtures is given
below. Small-scale tests are currently used by industry to assess the
detonability of explosive mixtures. However, no standard test protocol is
available to test the detonability of bulk fertilizer mixtures under the
conditions likely to be used in large-scale bombings.
It has been determined through years of design and testing of explosive
materials such as water gels and blasting agents that some of these require
emplacement in containers or boreholes of large cross-sectional area (i.e., must
have a large minimum diameter) before they will sustain a detonation reaction.
This is a good safety feature for commercial applications, assuming that the
minimum diameter is less than the diameter of the boreholes being drilled at a
mine. An attractive explosive product is one that will detonate in a borehole of
a certain size but will be incapable of sustaining detonation in the smaller
diameter of a pumping apparatus or the hose used to place the explosive in the
borehole.
The material used by the explosives industry to simulate borehole conditions is
schedule 40 steel pipe. Many tests have shown that this pipe provides the same
detonation conditions in the same diameter as a competent rock borehole,1 as
evidenced by the achievement of the same detonation velocity in both media.
Testing in other forms of confinement such as stovepipe, cardboard tubes, or
tile pipe has required far larger diameters to achieve the same detonation
velocity, or indeed any detonation at all.
Research to Develop Methods of Inerting
Although no effective inerting or desensitizing methods have yet been found for
use with bulk AN, research should be conducted to ensure adequate options for
action in the event that terrorist bombings with AN become more frequent.
Conclusions
Although a number of common chemicals could be used in illegal bombings, the
common explosive chemical likely to be of greatest threat is ammonium nitrate.
The committee's qualitative ranking of common explosive chemicals, based on
availability and accessibility, ease of bomb making, cost, and history of prior
use, indicated that ammonium nitrate (AN) is by far the most obvious material
for making large bombs.
Despite ongoing research in both the United States and abroad, no practical
method for inerting ammonium nitrate has yet been found. No additive (such as
claimed by the Porter patent) has been shown to be capable of rendering
fertilizer-grade AN nondetonable under all circumstances when the additive is
present in concentrations of about 20 percent or less. The present state of
knowledge identifies neither the additive nor the critical levels of inertant
needed to guarantee nondetonability. High concentrations of inertants may not be
practicable, because of both their cost and their deleterious effect on the
utility of the fertilizer.
Other inerting additives/experiments you should be familiar with is:
Coal combustion byproducts (CCBs, Fly-ash C, Fly-ash F and FGD) were evaluated
for their effectiveness as blast mitigating agents when applied as a coating to
CAN fertilizer. 5 kg ANFO bombs confined in steel containers were prepared
coated with 10-50% of the inerting compounds. Tests showed that they had to use
a 15% or more of the additive to prevent detonation. When the AN prills were
crushed into powder, they had to use 20% or more of the substance to prevent
detonation. Conclusion: failure to efficiently inert.

Fertilizer-grade AN fertilizer labeled as 34-0-0 in hardware store nomenclature
is 34 percent nitrogen by weight. Most small-scale retail fertilizers intended
for home and garden use typically include some fraction of phosphorus and
potassium, represented by the other two digits in the fertilizer marking system.

How to purify fertilizer grade Ammonium Nitrate
In its pure form: KNO3, ammonium nitrate can be detonated with a 6 dynamite cap
at a blast radius of 14,000 feet per second. However, KNO3 has become
increasingly difficult to acquire.
CAN fertilizer that “looks right” might result in an inert compound as many
substances are hard to fraction out as they were intentionally put there to
prevent easy distillation. A small amount of Magnesium or Sulfur does not make
the fertilizer inert. However, I don’t have enough time to research which
purification method that should be used to remove these compounds, if this is
desirable.
Before buying the fertilizer check the composition of the mixture. 32(34)-00-00
is the absolute best option and can even be used without purification but
unfortunately, the EU banned it several years ago. You need a minimum of 32%
purity on the AN. The current mixes are only available in 27-xx-xx usually so it
MAY require purification. Also, the most similar compounds are often not
available in 50 kg bags, and only available in 600 kg+ large bags due to the EUs
anti-terror laws. The EU will most likely ban “usable” AN fertilizers completely
and force everyone to use Urea based fertilizers instead (46-00-00). The problem
with urea (urea nitrate) is that it is much more unstable than AN with a
significant decomposition rate. In addition, it is considerably more time
consuming to convert Urea fertilizer to large quantities of Urea Nitrate (more
than 100 kg) for one person. This in combination with the limited 30 day “shelf
life” of Urea Nitrate limits its use significantly as an explosive. We may go
down that road in the future, but at the moment, better options are available.
If fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate is to be used it may have to be purified
first in order to maximize the effectiveness. I am not yet 100% sure which of
the additives included in the various types of fertilizer will make the compound
inert. To be sure you get a fertilizer type you can work with find a compound
similar to the old classic: 32-0-0 (which the EU banned a few years ago). The
reason they banned it was because you basically got a finished blasting agent.
All you had to do was to add 6-7% diesel and you had ANFO, ready to use.
AN vs Urea
Sources for Urea is the fertilizer: 46-00-00 or often the prills used for
de-icing sidewalks. Urea can also be derived from concentrated urine (animal and
human). This is a common variation used in South America and the Middle East by
terrorists. Many animals (e.g., dogs) have a much more concentrated urine and it
contains a higher urea amount than normal human urine.
Urea nitrate would not be the method of choice for +100 kg detonations due to
the rapid decomposition of the more unstable urea nitrate which reduces the
shelf life to 30 days. AN is preferred as it is much more stable and has a
considerably longer shelf life (up to 1-2 years). Also, it takes considerably
longer and more knowledge in chemistry to convert urea fertilizer to urea
nitrate, compared to AN. The only advantages of Urea nitrate is that it is
easier to acquire the products needed and it is more sensitive to detonation
than AN. Urea nitrate is "piss" easy to make and there’s also a certain amount
of "Fvck You" factor in there as well because... well... we just blew you up
with our urine:P Still, not recommended as long as you have access to AN.
Evaluating the nitrogen level in X-0-0
Each fertilizer has an analysis table that tells you the percent of nitrogen (N)
- phosphorus (P2O5) - and potassium (K2O) by weight. Urea is 46-0-0, and
ammonium nitrate is 34-0-0. Both of these products contain nothing but nitrogen,
but the nitrogen is at different percentages. Urea contains 920 actual pounds of
nitrogen per ton, and ammonium nitrate contains 680 actual pounds of nitrogen by
ton (2,000 x 46% = 920 and 2,000 x 34% = 680).
Evaluating fertilizer grade AN and the added impurities
Fertilizer grade AN bought in garden stores etc today are full of impurities
like anti waking agents, ammonium sulphate, NaCl, Ca(NO3)2, sodium bicarbonate
and other impurities.
The N-P-K numbers are a fertilizer convention for percentages of elements that
plants need in fairly large amounts. These numbers aren't what you're looking
for as a chemist seeking raw materials. What you want is an ingredients
list. As for purifying this fertilizer, you'll have to look up what's in
it, and how the impurities differ from ammonium nitrate, before you talk about
what purification method you've chosen. Unfortunately, there are several ways to
purify/distill AN based on the compounds it is mixed with. Crystallization is
one method of refinement but it doesn’t work properly if there are certain
compounds in the mix.
If the fertilizer is a mixture of ammonium nitrate, superphosphate (that's
fertilizer jargon for Ca(H2PO4)2)) and trace
metals (usually as chelates,) recrystallization can give you a pure solid. You
will have to be sure any and all impurities are complete insoluble in
water/ethanol/methanol /whatever to say that recrystallization is a good
purification method. If that's not the case, you'll have to do fractional
crystallization, an important beginner purification method in college classes.
Potential problems:
- Learn the solubility table on AN (NH4NO3) in hot methanol
- Methanol is relatively expensive...
Questions I haven’t been able to answer through my research:
-
Is there a way to replace the methanol with another product? Will ethanol work?
The "N" in fertilizer can come from a variety of sources -- potassium nitrate
(provides some "K"), calcium nitrate (plants need Ca for strong cell walls), or
even urea. They can be converted to ammonium nitrate (the first two easier
than the last one,) but that's a roundabout way of addressing your need for
ammonium nitrate.
The closest alternative today, I believe, is 27-0-0 or something similar. If you
are unsure which additives are added and the effect it has, research the
specific products offered by your national suppliers and ensure that you get
ammonium nitrate with minimal additives. There are various ways to purify
fertilizer which is based on the specific additives. Unfortunately, I am not
competent enough to give you a specific guide on each additive and the various
methods which can be used to remove the specific additive.
Purification method 1 – Crystallization using water
It is possible to purify using simply water. You basically crystallize it from
water as it has a solubility differential over temp in that. It is possible to
remove many impurities by just dissolving it in boiling water..you will dissolve
anything ionic. Filter it while really hot to remove insoluble’s then let it
cool and collect the AN. If you want really pure stuff, do a couple more
recrystallizations to get out any remaining impurities. And NO! You do not need
pure AN to make ANFO or ANNM. Believe me I have detonated enough ANFO full of
sticks, sawdust, plastic chunks, and miscellaneous crap to know.
However, if there are sodium compounds in there then he can't just dissolve in
water and filter.
If you encounter problems try reducing the amount of water used or else reduce
the temperature. Don't use boiling hot water. Try to get the temperature of the
water to 50 deg. or so. This will reduce the yield but it will avoid some
substances with a low solubilty to dissolve. Ammonium nitrate dissolves
118g/100g water @ 0C therefore reducing the temperature will still dissolve much
of the nitrate.
Purification method 2 – Crystallization using methanol
The following method will show you at least the best known purification method.
This is done by boiling Methanol Alchohol and adding the fertillizer Ammonium
nitrate until no more of it will dissolve. 20.2 g AN (NH4NO3) per 100 g methanol
at 30 degrees C. There are values for other temperatures too, but solubility
doesn't seem to vary rapidly.This is then cooled in an ice bath and the white
crystalls deposited at the bottom are pure Ammonium Nitrate. Thus the pure
Ammonium nitrate can be heated on a lowest temperature on a pan in the oven
until very dry. Store it in a tightly closed container.
Another similar method is the following: to purify "dissolve the fertilizer in
hot methanol and filter the solution. By mixing the solution with an equal
volume of unleaded gasoline, the ammonium nitrate will instantly crystallize."
Cold packs as a source for pure AN
If you are having problems converting fertilizer to a more pure form just try
using some other source of ammonium nitrate, like cold packs, or another brand
of fertilizer containing ammonium nitrate. The AN from Cold packs is however 10
times as expensive as the fertilizer AN resulting in a limitation regarding the
procurement of large quantities.
Storing AN
The shelf life of cold packs (100% AN) is approximately 1-2 years from
production date which is usually specified on each package. So, if you need a
large quantity, start you’re an acquisition phase aprox 6 months prior to the
execution of the mission. Note that the special plastic and vacuum packing is
done to ensure this long shelf life so if you take out the AN from the cold
packs it might influence the shelf life, regardless of how effectively you
manage to contain it. If you are packing it yourself with traditional plastic
the shelf life may be dramatically reduced, perhaps down to 4 weeks with poor
packing. This will depend on how well you pack it, how much oxygen is available,
humidity, temperature during storage etc. Container: heat- OR acid-resistant OR
plastic). Instead of storing a 500 kg (which might be poorly packed for long
term storage) you should consider breaking the large bag into smaller 50 kg
bags. Try to order specialized plastic bags for this purpose.
Mixing AN with fuel
A more common and almost as effective method of mixing is by uniformly soaking
prills in opened bags with 8 to 1O percent of their weight of oil. After
draining for at least a half hour the prills will have retained about the
correct amount of fuel oil.
The fuel will disperse relatively rapidly and uniformly. Inadequate priming
imparts a low initial detonation velocity to a blasting agent, and the reaction
may die out and cause a misfire. So ensure a large enough booster/blasting cap.
Place the AN into the waterproof container. Sprinkle the diesel fuel onto the
AN. Do not “stir” these materials, as that will cause them to pack together. Let
stand for 1 hour. Seal the waterproof container.
Note: if powdered AN is being used and it becomes packed, it may be fluffed by
ruffing a handful back and forth across a piece of screen or a cheese grater. If
AN prills are used (compared to powdered AN) a larger booster charge must be
used. Finally, ANFO charges must be at least 5 cm in diameter or they will not
detonate properly.
Size of prills matter
However, there is usually little you can do about this fact, with the exception
of choosing to powder the AN. In the mining industry, the term ANFO specifically
describes a mixture of solid ammonium nitrate prills and No. 2 fuel oil (heating
oil.) In this form, it has a bulk density of approximately 840 kg/m3. The
density of individual prills is about 1300 kg/m3, while the density of pure
crystalline ammonium nitrate is 1700 kg/m3. It is notable that AN prills used
for explosive applications are physically different from fertilizer prills; the
former contain approximately 20% air. These versions of ANFO which use prills
are generally called explosives grade, low density, or industrial grade ammonium
nitrate. These voids are necessary to sensitize ANFO: they create so-called "hot
spots".
How to pulverize large quantities of ammonium nitrate prills/granules
For small quantities you may simply use a wood roller, the wooden kitchen tool
used for rolling dough, on a wood base. However, if you want to pulverize large
amounts of AN, 100 kg+, you want to use more advanced methods.
Grinding method 1
Commercial coffee grinders: dedicate one grinder for use on oxidizers. We don't
want fires or explosions when we're grinding chemicals. Never grind complete or
mixed compositions such as black powder in a coffee grinder. The AN should not
react with any material in the grinder as long as you use steel blades.
I have found two kinds of coffee grinders: blade-grinders and burr-mills. Don't
get a burr-mill; they don't work as well as blade-grinders (at least not for
coffee beans, perhaps for AN prills). The blade-grinders have a stainless steel
blender type blade that spins at high speeds in the bottom of the material cup,
pulverizing the material in the process. When evaluating whether to use a
smaller, less expensive, blade-type coffee grinders; know that they really don't
last too long if you mill chemicals for a minute or two at a time. To use them,
mill your chemicals in pulses of a few seconds at a time. Shaking them while
pulse-grinding can give you even faster results. There are different types of
coffee grinders. You may want to choose an espresso variant as it will produce a
finer powder. However, expect this factor to result in a doubled grinding time.
Be careful of heat buildup. Avoid aluminium blades, use steel blades (it’s
usually steel as default). Avoid sparks. Quickly put in airtight container as
powdered AN absorb water from air.
Grinding speed; depends on grinder. I did find an example from a commercial
espresso grinder:
57 g in 20 seconds which equals 171 g per minute, 10,26 kg per hour. With this
speed it would take 97,5 hours to grind 1000 kg of AN prills/granules. However,
if you use a grinder constantly then expect it to only last a few hours. So you
will probably need up to 10 grinders for 1000 kg prills. Expect the total amount
of hours to exceed 200 hours as you don’t want the grinder to overheat. I heard
that Baader, the Marxist scumbag from Red Army Fraction bought tens of grinders
as they regularly broke down. He even bought a really expensive one but that one
broke down as well. They ended up using wood rollers resulting in limited
amounts of end product.
Prices range from 30 Euro up to 800 Euro.
Grinding method 2
I have not confirmed this method but it looks good in theory. An electric
garbage disposal unit/food waste disposer/sink grinder, aprox 370 W, 2600 RPM,
cost: 200 Euro. No knives or blades. Instead, it is a rotating mechanism which
presses the material out through small holes in the outer walls.
Grinding method 3 (recommended)
I have never seen this method mentioned in relation to AN prill grinding.
However, theoretically, it sounds like a wonderful idea.
A barley crusher/malt grinder is used for grinding barley in micro-brewery
operations (enthusiasts brewing their own beer etc). It is a mini grinding mill,
a unit operation designed to break a solid material into smaller pieces.
There are two main suppliers of relatively inexpensive barley crushers;
Barleycrusher.com and Crankandstein.net
1.
http://www.barleycrusher.com/
2.
http://www.crankandstein.net/
Of the two I would recommend the Barleycrusher with the following specs:
·
Roller assembly: 1,25” diameter x 5 “ length
·
Models: 7 lb (3,2 kg) or 15 lb (6,8 kg), go with the 15 lb
·
BC adjustment range: 0,015 to 0,070 thousands of an inch. Default set at 0,039.
This is the way to fine tune your rollers, to adjust them so that you get finer
powder etc.
·
Rollers have: 12 TPI knurl
·
Comes with a solid base with locators to center the Barley Crusher on a 5 gallon
plastic pail. (Pail not included)
·
The standard hopper holds 3,2 kg and the optional large hopper holds 6,8 kg.
Using a 3/8 drillmotor at 500 RPM gives you a crush rate of 2,7 kg per minute
·
The Barley Crusher is shipped fully assembled. There are no adapters needed to
use a 3/8 drill motor.
·
Cost: 15 lb variant, costs 115 USD with an additional 60 USD shipping
·
A hand crank is included but it is advisable that you use a drill (you just
fasten the drill bit where the hand crank used to be)
·
You will also want a high quality drill with adjustable speed (cheap version
drills may be just as good as long as they have an adjustable speed). You want
to use a relatively low speed (150-200 RPM). However, you should test and
confirm this as higher speeds may be viable. You should not select a battery
drill as each battery will only have enough power for 10-12 kg of corn (prills)
according to one forum source. Buy a second hand, high quality drill on your
local online marketplace or ebay. Just keep in mind that the US voltage (110-120
V) is different from the European (220-230 V).
·
Example drill:

Grinding method 4 (not available)
Grist Mills for the crushing of barley or wheat are also effective (wind mill,
water weel, motorized or by using an oxe). A ton of material can be processed
through one this size in about two hours. To bad this method is not an option
for 99,99% of us.
Grinding method 5
Various electrical mixers may work.
To test if a compound has AN
To test if fertilizer has ammonium nitrates use a sample and pour on top about
half as much sodium hydroxide. Then add a small amount of water. If it starts
bubbling and releasing ammonia gas then it has a high concentration of ammonium
nitrate.
How to make ANNM/ANFO even more potent by using additives:
·
Aluminium powder
Adding 5 to 20 percent (15% is optimal), by weight, microfine aluminium powder
(30 mesh (JIS sieve) or below is optimal) will increase the VOD substantially.
The reason why this is often ignored is due to the high cost of aluminium dust.
AL makes the mixture more sensitive to detonation and increases the power output
of the product. Thus a smaller primer is needed.
·
3 hydrogen containers (tanks of bottled hydrogen)
Three tanks of bottled hydrogen are placed in a circular configuration around
the main charge, to enhance the fireball and afterburn of the solid metal
particles. Placing 3 hydrogen containers (on all three sides of the main charge)
will increase the blast considerably and add a very potent and lethal incendiary
effect. Compressed hydrogen is used for mobile hydrogen storage in hydrogen
vehicles. It is used as a fuel gas. At this point in time, 2010, there are at
least a few hydrogen filling stations in most European capitals. Two cars that
use this fuel: Toyota Prius, Mazda RX-8. You would need three hydrogen storage
containers, f example the “Palcan Hydrogen System” container. The use of
compressed gas cylinders in this type of attack closely resembles the 1983
Beirut barracks bombing. Both of these attacks used compressed gas cylinders to
create fuel-air and thermobaric effects that release more energy than
conventional high explosives. Thermobaric effects is also a requirement if you
plan to detonate a propan-truck (two stage detonation is required for optimal
effect, but a thermobaric effect (detonating fuel-air) is likely to be able to
compensate for the lack of the two-stage detonation process. A 50-100 kg booster
should be enough in this regard.
·
Magnesium and ferric oxide particles (not confirmed yet)
Surrounding the main explosive with magnesium and ferric oxide particles will
increase the VOD.
·
Larger blasting cap and or booster is always a positive factor
Using a larger blasting cap/booster will increase the VOD of ANNM or more
precisely, if you fail to use a large enough blasting cap/booster you will fail
to detonate all the ANNM optimally.
·
Air bubbles: cork or balsa wood (not confirmed yet)
To add even more kick, you can incorporate tiny air bubbles into the explosive.
17 parts NM, 60 parts AN and add 2 parts of finely ground cork or balsa wood or
alternatively 5-7% fuel oil, 90-95% AN and in addition aprox 10-15% of total
weight aluminium powder and 3% cork granules (I believe 2-3 mm granules will
work). The cork or balsa wood is the source of the entrapped air bubbles in the
mixture. There are several suppliers of cork granules, just do a search on
google or alibaba.com. However, I have not been able to confirm the efficiency
of this additive with the given specifications.
·
Sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (not confirmed yet)
When using fertilizer grade ANFO explosives, properties are improved up to 30%
by the addition of 0,5-1% “Tide” or Mr. Bubble” or any detergent containing
sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate. Mixed in after AN and FO is mixed.

Manufacturing Aluminium Powder through filing
There are no import restrictions for aluminium powder for a majority (if not
all) of EU the countries. Ordering 1-100 kg quantities of aluminium powder
quantities from chemical/pyro supply factories is therefore advices. Just be
careful and travel directly to the factory to pick up the order if possible.
However, if you want to avoid ordering it online (or pick up an order directly
from the factory in f example Poland) you may create limited quantities
yourself. You may use various aluminium scrap, or purchase aluminum ingots/bars
from hardware stores to file down the aluminum into powder. This method can be
cheap and yield good quality aluminum powder, however be prepared to work.
Most files will work, as aluminum is a soft metal. However, you should order
high quality aluminium files online. There are variations of aluminium. The
harder types, f example: 6061,7075 are filed down quite well without having to
cleanse/brush off/load the file. Other types of aluminium like the type that can
be found in aluminium plate and cast aluminum are very gummy and stick to a file
quite easily.
·
Recommended files: try the Supershear file, or the aluminum cut file (a special
file for filing aluminium, check Ebay etc.). According to one source; the
Supershear is the fastest hand file. It may need occasional chalking or lubing.
The Aluminum cut file is fast, and creates finer powder than the Super Shear.
Next, and less accurate, but very much faster is the air or electric die grinder
fit with a single-cut burr and lubed with beeswax. It will climb through 1/2" of
solid stock in 10 seconds. The next step up is 6", 8", and 12" grinding discs,
belt sanders etc.
·
Correct filing motion: the trick is to push hard on the cutting stroke and ease
up as you pull back to rattle the pins free. When you carefully pull the file
back, you will basically remove much of the powder in between the tooth’s.
·
Cleaning your file: Many people use a piece of copper water pipe (1/2"). Take a
piece about 6" - 8" long, squish the first 2" or so inches in the vise of with a
Hammer. The round end will be you handle, give a wrap or two with electrical
tape or duct tape. Work the tool (copper pipe, squished end -almost a chisel)
with the teeth of the file; not with the direction you would file if you were
using the file, but side to side. This allows the copper to get under the
aluminum and 'pop' it out the files teeth. The copper will not wear down or
damage your file. Alternatively; you should just use an aluminum bristled wire
brush which will clean the file perfectly, almost every time, as long as you
clean across the teeth.
·
It is recommended that you do your filing above a container to catch all the
powder.
·
Use a particle mask to prevent the inhalation of aluminium dust.
·
The mesh, fineness, of the grain can be increased by using a mortar and pestle
to grind the powder down more. However, this will be very time consuming.
·
You should store your aluminium powder in f example glass or plastic containers.
·
Cover story usage: fine aluminium powder is used as a paint component (f example
boat paint) to add UV resistance.
·
Estimated aluminium powder produced per hour using a specialized file; I’m not
exactly sure, as I haven’t tried it. I would estimate between 50-100 g per hour.
So if you wanted 100 kg it would take one person 1000 hours or 125 x 8 hour
days, 10 kg = 12,5 x 8 hour days.
NM – Nitromethane
Pure nitromethane is an insensitive explosive with a VoD of approximately 6200
m/s.
The reason why NM is so much more powerful than diesel is that nitromethane
generates about 2.3 times the power of gasoline when combined with a given
amount of oxygen.
NM can be obtained from hobby air-plane fuel. The fuel, depending on brand and
type, contains anywhere from 12-35% NM. Hobby plane boat-fuel contains the
highest percentage (aprox 30-50%) while plane/helicopter fuel is on a second
with 12-35%. Model car fuel normally contains the least amount of NM. Ensure
that you have created a cover story (that you say you own a T-Rex 600 f example)
before you make a purchase.
The average price for a 4 L can of fuel (containing 30% NM) is approximately 31
Euro. In other words; if you want 10 L of pure NM you would have to buy 8-9 of
these cans for a total of 280 Euro providing you are able to extract 100% of the
NM (which you probably won’t). This fuel usually consists of: 30% NM, 12% oil
lubricant and 58% ethanol. I ordered almost 4 cans of this fuel from each
available supplier (total of 5 suppliers) and ended up with 18 cans. I could go
to my neighbouring countries to buy more or I would have to wait 6 months time
before I make another purchase (to prevent suspicion from the suppliers). The
fuel can only be transported by ground.
Myths about the dangers of NM
NM is not as dangerous as people would have you think. In fact, nitromethane is
one of the safest and cheapest liquid explosives available on the market. It
cannot detonate from flame and it is in fact very hard to ignite with a match,
and if it does burn, it does so with a lazy blue flame. However, NM is shock
sensitive from 6 meters. Nevertheless, as long as you don’t expose pure NM to
shock or severe friction you will be ok. It is very stable.
NM safety
·
You can set it on fire, it simply burns like ethanol. Since it is flammable
liquid, its vapor with air may form an explosive mixture (like many organic
solvents).
·
Nitromethane is in fact very hard to ignite with a match, and if it does burn,
it does so with a lazy blue flame. It does detonate on shock though. It is very
stable.
·
I'm under the impression that nitromethane is definitely an explosive. It is
just much less shock sensitive than theoretic claims.
·
Do not pour it into a glass container as the edges have too much friction
causing an explosion. Never heat it. Never drop on floor, avoid shock.
·
Never touch it as it reacts with skin and the person affected will be killed
within 36 hours.
About NM mixed with methanol
Dilution of the NM mixture with methanol doesn’t prevent the invention from
working. The dilution just makes the mixture more difficult to detonate, and the
explosive force released is correspondingly reduced. To detonate a methanol
solution of NM, about one ounce of high explosive booster is needed. Really
diluted solutions, such as one would get from 10% NM product would need even
more booster. The mixture keeps really well as long as it is sealed up to
prevent the NM and amine from evaporating away. On ounce (28,35 g) is required
to detonate.
AN and diluted NM
Mixing 84 parts by weight AN with 16 parts by weight of 50% solution of NM in
methanol explosive is is as powerful as high grade dynamite. Weaker
concentrations of NM could be used instead of 50% but performance would suffer.
I wouldn’t bother with any product under 30% NM. In a known explosives patent,
they specify using fertilizer prills of AN. However, finely ground AN made
according to the directions in this section would also work. To enhance the
performance of this mixture, one could mix in up to 10-15% by weight of AL
powder. According to the patent, this mixture can be detonated with a number 8
cap, and doesn’t need confinement for complete detonation.
Purification of NM-hobby fuel
NM can be purified by cooling below its freezing point (28 C), washing the solid
with cold diethyl ether, followed by distillation.
How to get more out of Nitromethane
Mix with Trichloroethane (common cleaning fluid)(40 parts AN, 9 parts NM, 3
parts Trich: see PDF: Nitromethane explosives.
Method 1: Separating NM from methanol in hobby fuel - evaporation
It will be hard to get pure nitromethane from your fuel but you should end up
with a suitable mix consisting of 50-80% NM, 12% oil and the rest methanol.
Methanol evaporates considerably faster than nitromethane, so I'd first just
expose it to the air and see when the volume of the liquid had dropped about the
right amount. At that point, I don't know exactly how well the oil,
nitromethane, and remaining methanol will separate. Do not let it evaporate
below 50% of the original volume or you will end up with more oil than
nitromethane.
Water and nitromethane have close to the same boiling point (not that I'd boil
nitromethane) and evaporation rates so I would not attempt to mix with water.
Method 2:
Separating NM from methanol in hobby
fuel - freezing
Example racing fuel contains:
30% NM (CH3-NO2)
12% Oil (X-YZ)
58% Methanol (CH3-OH)
We first need to know the properties of the components to be able to separate
them:
1.
All are soluble in each other
2. NM boiling point = 101°C; freezing point = -29°C
Methanol boiling point = 65°C; freezing point = -98°C
Oil boiling point >200°C; freezing point = -10 to -30°C?
With this information we can conclude that simple freeze distillation can be the
way to go. Methanol will be separated and you will be left with NM and oil mix.
Freezing is, theoretically, a good way to get the methanol out. I haven’t tested
it out personally but it should work. Most commercial freezers go as low as -25
to -30 Celsius which is enough to freeze the NM and thus making it easy to
separate the methanol. This process should be repeated so that you ensure that
you get most of the NM.
According to one forum source; it doesn’t matter if the oil is left in the mix
as it won’t be able to make the compound inert. So the final mix should still be
effective when creating ANNM.
Method 3: Fractional distillation
Nitrometane distilation from racing fuel is fairly straightforward. It works as
a classic simple distillation but to get good results you should try to fraction
it as much as possible (long column, packing...). You have to use a decent
distillation setup with a thermometer. And no open flames! Eletric heating!
First the temperature remains stable at the boiling point of methanol (65C). You
have only methanol coming. This is by far the largest fraction. You might as
well stop here or you can continue if you want to gain even purer results.
Then temperature starts rising. You are now collecting a mix of methanol and
Nitromethane. This is a large fraction, don't discard it, redistill.
Then temperature stays at the boiling point of nitromethane (101C). You are now
collecting nitromethane.
Then you stop getting condensates and your oil begins to smoke a bit. Turn the
heat off.
If you didn't fraction your distillation enough, a second distillation will give
you almost pure nitromethane.
I got 150ml of rather pure nitromethane out of a gallon of 10% nitro fuel.
And for goodness sake DON'T USE A PROPANE BURNER! I did once, and
underestimated the temperature. The glass vessel melted. Luckily it didn't
contain anything combustible / explosive.
The Merck index says nitromethane forms explosive salts.Therefore, I believe the
extraction of nitromethane with an alkali is not a good idea. These salts are
known as nitronates and are extremely unstable. This problem may occur if you
boil the NM mix at 80 celsius or above. Small yellow spots may form which is the
forming of nitronates. As you turn the heat off, the yellow solids will
re-dissolve in the initial nitromethane fraction.
In order to separate the methanol and the nitromathane you need a much better
distillation rig, with a fractionating column and a thermometer. For vacuum
distillation, you may want to try using a venturi pump - they only cost about 5
USD new.
You also might want to practice fractional distillation with other, less
hazardous liquids before moving on to explosives.
Note: there is no good reason why you need purer than 80% NM, so don’t go
overboard on the fractional distillation. The risks and efforts are not worth
it.
General safety precautions
·
AN/Urea: Caution: Never use copper or
brass containers because ammonium nitrate reacts with these metals.
·
Aluminium (Al) is very active because it has 3 collection in the outer shell
then it can react with any metal, use plastic layers between alu and metal.
·
General stirring. Try to use glass or wood when stirring.
·
Always acquire and modify the skeleton (containers) first
·
Cover as much of your skin as possible, when preparing chemicals, so it doesn’t
absorb any fumes.
·
Lab coat or apron should be worn at all times.
·
Lab glassware can be heated to 500 Celsius. Quarts glass is used where high
temperatures are needed up to 1200 Celsius. General lab glassware is used for
heating liquids as most liquids will never encounter temperatures exceeding 300
Celsius.
·
Never rapidly heat glass. Exposing glassware to immediate high temps can cause
cracks and breakage. Cooling hot glassware to quickly can also lead to cracks
and breaks. Always allow the heated glass to cool to room temperature by itself
before applying it to cold water baths, ice baths, or dry ice baths. Quarts is
an exception. It can be heated to 1000 Celsius and then dipped into water.
·
Storage should be in a dark cool dry place away from other chemicals,
a lot of explosive devices require use
immediately after completion so storage of these could be dangerous.
·
When the materials are added together this should be done gently and carefully
to avoid spontaneous detonation, there is especially a danger of friction
igniting the material when a chemical is being powdered. Another danger of
friction is in the use of pipe bombs,
the steel of the pipe can easily cause the powder to explode prematurely so it
is advisable to use a plastic bag or paper between the pipe and the chemical.
·
Completed explosive chemicals should be tested in small quantities to verify
their operation.
·
If an electronic detonating circuit is to be used, a safety switch should be
added to the circuit to prevent an electronic fault causing an explosion.
Container tips
Barrels are common containers for the main explosive. For a barrel, the
detonator might be a bag or a
metal/alu pipe filled with Picric acid, which contains an even smaller container
- the blasting cap (DDNT).
Building the containers/skeleton
Always acquire and modify the skeleton (containers) before you manufacture the
explosives. You can f example use a large barrel or medium/mini barrel to place
the main charge in. Confinement will ensure an optimal detonation and subsequent
destruction power. Non-confined explosives will due considerably less impact
unless you design the skeleton in a way that you can create a shaped charge (one
directional charge against a specific target).
Blasting cap container
As for the blasting cap container; you can f example use a 0,62 cm x 6,25 cm
long alu tube which can usually be bought at hobby stores/model building stores.
There are items which is used as landing gear for planes that might prove
useful. Buy a board plastic straw to prevent the priming mixture to reacting the
with metallic body even when aluminium is used.
Booster container
Use a larger metal/alu pipe.
Detonator-trigger
There are four different types of detonators you can use in order to activate
your primary explosive (blasting cap):
1.
Mechanical detonator
2.
Electrical detonator
3.
Chemical detonator
4.
Fuse detonator
I would suggest choosing one of the following detonation devices:
Fuse (EASY)
Buy visco fuse or similar high quality fuse. Choose the most reliable fuse type
(6mm in diameter is usually more reliable than 2,5 mm fuses but is harder to
come by). Cover the fuse in surgical tubing or the sparks from the fuse may
cause early detonation (from either nitro/fuel /chem fumes, or sparks may come
into contact with load). There are several different types of fuses. Burn rate
is usually 1cm per second (this should be specified on the supplier site) so if
you want 2 minutes for evacuation you will need 1,2 meter fuse etc. Web
addresses to European suppliers are found at pyroforums. If you’re going to use
a fuse, you must normally add a little (1g-3g black powder or similar in the
receiving end of the primary charge in order to successfully initiate the rest.
You should create a blasting cap and arrange a test prior to operation.
Wireless Radio Firing Systems (MODERATE)
Sold by companies specializing in fireworks detonation systems. Consists of two
parts: 1 x Receiver with battery source and 1 x Remote control with battery.
Like the 1Q version from: http://www.e-madeinchn.com/FiringSystems.html
There are other European, US and Chinese companies selling similar items. The 1Q
version sold on that site costs 16 USD + 5 USD shipping. This specific version
is a 6V with relatively short range: 200 m. You basically just place the
receiver close to the charge and plug wires into the chromatic wires, similar to
the one you find in light bulbs.
Mobile phone (MODERATE TO HARD)
Same principle as above, just that you use the battery power from the receiver
mobile. When you call the receiver mobile with your transmitter mobile
(providing you have sorted the wiring from your receiver mobile into the
detonation cap (chromatic wires)
Cross wiring multiple explosive devices vs. single load explosive device
Never try to cross wire multiple explosive devices unless it is an absolute
requirement. Instead; always focus on single load explosive devices. To
illustrate this we can review the 2010 Stockholm Jihadi suicide bombers fatal
mistake. By cross wiring 5 pipe bombs he had increased the chance for failure by
several hundred percent. With a single load explosive device the chance for
failure is approximately 20%. As you attempt to cross wire 5 of these devices
you are increasing the chance for failure to 80-95%. Needless to say; this is an
unacceptable risk.

The above overview obviously does not consider the approach of using
“alternative” easily accessible bulk explosives loads such as LNG platforms, LNG
tankers, propane trucks etc. In these cases, you would only be required to
create a booster charge of 50-100 kg as the bulk of the explosives would be the
civilian vessel itself.

If the solution contains more than 86% nitric acid, it is referred to
as fuming nitric acid. Fuming nitric acid is characterized as white
fuming nitric acid and red fuming nitric acid, depending on the amount of
nitrogen dioxide present. At concentrations above 95% at room temperature,
nitric acid tends to rapidly develop a yellow color due to decomposition. Nitric
acid is also commonly used as a strong oxidizing agent. Reacts strongly with
metals. Grades: technical grades are normally 68% while reagent grades are
specified at 70%. A commercial grade of fuming nitric acid, referred to in the
trade as “strong nitric acid” contains 90% HNO3. This grade is much used in the
explosives industry. Almost pure nitric acid can be
made by adding sulfuric acid to a nitrate salt, and heating the mixture with an
oil bath. A condenser is used to condense the nitric acid fumes that bubble out
of the solution.

As of September 2009, wholesale of sodium chlorate weedkiller was banned
in all EU countries, but consumers were allowed to use and store the product
until 10 May 2010. This was done due to anti terror laws. The main commercial
use for sodium chlorate is for making chlorine dioxide, ClO2. The largest
application, approx. 95% of the chlorate, is in bleaching of pulp where chlorine
dioxide today is the predominant bleaching agent. The active ingredient sodium
chlorate is found in a variety of commercial herbicides. Some trade names for
products containing sodium chlorate include Atlacide, Defol, De-Fol-Ate,
Drop-Leaf, Fall, Harvest-Aid, Kusatol, Leafex, and Tumbleaf. The compound may be
used in combination with other herbicides such as atrazine, 2,4-D, bromacil,
diuron, and sodium metaborate. Sodium Chlorate was an extensively used
weedkiller within the EU, up until 2009 when it was withdrawn after a decision
made under terms of EU Regulations. Its use as a herbicide outside the EU
remains unaffected, as does its use in other non-herbicidal applications, such
as in the production of chlorine dioxide biocides and for pulp and paper
bleaching Difficulty to acquire:

unless you smuggle weed killer from outside the EU.
But even then you would have to purify it/extract it from the pesticide.
How to create from salt:
Take 10g of potassium chloride (”No Salt”) or 8g of sodium chloride. Put it in a
beaker. Now add 60ml of 3% H2O2 solution. Heat it gently until it begins to
boil; once that happens, add 30ml of baking soda solution. Keep it at a full
broil until crystals begin to precipitate out of solution. Once that occurs, you
must carry out the most difficult step… dump a lot of ice into the beaker, wait
for the ice to melt completely, then filter out the sodium chlorate or potassium
chlorate. This must be timed and carried out correctly, or the potassium
chlorate or sodium chlorate will be redissolved. If you did not get potassium
chlorate or sodium chlorate, it was because you didn’t do it as precisely as is
necessary, and you ended up with just potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide.
Be careful with this, potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide are byproducts
formed by this reaction… potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide are known as
LYE which will blind you if it gets in your eyes, and will severely burn your
skin.

Revised Black Book – A Guide To Field-Manufactured Explosives – William Wallace
Sources for base chemicals – where to buy chemicals?
The “base chemicals acquisition phase” requires you to educate yourself about
this topic. This took me some time, primarily because I looked in the wrong
places and was thus unable to locate sources. The manufacturers for these base
chemicals will usually be found within national or EU borders. I will try to
shed some light on how to approach the research of sources and present a few
tips;
To my surprise; I learned that my own country had at least one forum where the
acquisitions of chemicals were discussed. And if my country, of 5 million, has
it, then most countries will. The forum you are looking for are pyro(technique)
forums for the so called pyro(technique) enthusiasts. These people are usually
non-political but they love to blow things up and/or create various light shows.
They usually create very specific supplier lists for a majority of chemicals
that can be used in an explosives device. Most of them operate in a “gray area”
so they act as a perfect source for getting both supplier tips and “shipping
tips”. Many of them order online (this works as very few of the compounds are
illegal, just regulated) while others take road trips to f example Poland to get
materials directly from small factories. These materials are then smuggled
without problems to the country of destination. Many of these East-Block
factories will sell most chemicals to you as long as you seem like a credible
buyer (non-Muslim, non-extremist).
Suppliers are divided into the following three categories (example chems):
1.
Apothecaries/drug stores
Glyserol [C3H5(OH)3]
Hydrogen Peroxide [H2O2], also found in
6 and 7
Potassium Nitrate/saltpetre [KNO3],
also in 2 as brand name, 4, 6 and 7
Nitric Acid[HNO3], also in 4, 6, 7
Sulphur/Sulfur [S], also in 6, 7
2.
Hard ware stores/paint stores/car utility stores/furniture stores/home utility
shops:
Acetone
Aluminium
3.
Hobby air-plane shops etc.:
Nitromethane 15-30% mix
4.
Farming suppliers/garden stores:
Ammonium Nitrate (pure AN or alternatively CAN 27 fertilizer)
Potassium Chloride, but also in 7
5.
Sport shops/camping shops:
Ice pack: pure ammonium nitrate
Hexamine [C6H12N4],but also found in 2
and 6
6.
Chemical suppliers/pyrotech suppliers (supplies companies usually):
Ammonium perchlorate [NH4ClO4]
Potassium Chlorate
7.
Ebay/other online stores
So what you basically have to do is start researching suppliers for your
country;
Example Google (or national) search terms: “where to buy xxx” etc. Remember;
don’t try to browse your way to the best results. Your goal is to locate
national pyrotech forums, which in turn will provide you with the information
you need.
When ordering AN from your agricultural supplier
I recently learned that our national agricultural supplier does indeed have
purer forms of AN (34% nitrogen instead of the more common CAN fertilizer with
27%), so called: N34 fertilizer (34-0-0). They don’t market it though and they
only sell it in 600 kg bags. You should check with in your respective country
whether this is the case or not. If no N34 fertilizer is available, then CAN27
fertilizer will work as well. Before you call your farming supplier and make the
actual order you should take the following precautions:
·
Create a company with an appropriate name (preferably 1-2 years prior to first
order)
·
Join an interest organization for small/medium farmers
·
Join the organization related to the main agricultural supplier; create a
company customer profile and register your organization number
·
Make the order as soon as possible and up to 6 months prior to delivery. F
example; if you want the fertilizer bags delivered in May, order them in
November. The agricultural supplier prefers early orders as they book your order
into their distribution/delivery schedule. They deliver hundreds of thousands of
tons of fertilizer annually so making an early order will not only save you
money (as the prices are term based); it will likely ensure that you will avoid
the scrutiny reserved to a larger degree for “more unknown customers” who wants
“sudden large orders” of nitrogen-only bags.
·
Ensure that you can provide a delivery address (where you want the big bags
delivered). If you haven’t yet rented a small farm/cottage you can explain to
them that you are planning a test production next spring of a crop that requires
the specified fertilizers you are ordering.
·
Create a credible cover story in case anyone asks why you are buying the
fertilizer and how and when you plan to distribute it in your field. Do your due
diligence and research basic farming methods and similar knowledge. F example,
you should have the theoretical knowledge on how to disperse the fertilizer in
your field and when and how to provide the water required, if rain alone isn’t
sufficient. You should familiarize yourself with the basic farm equipment and
tools which is needed to distribute the fertilizer in your fields in case you
are presented with “security questions” from your supplier.
·
Consider to buy the actual seeds for the crop you have selected and inexpensive
equipment together with the fertilizer purchase. This will strengthen the
credibility of the transaction as it will act in your favour in relation to
avoiding suspicion.
·
Don’t take the chance of only buying 2 bags of CAN27 or N34. Instead, consider
making an order for f example: order 1 large bag of non-nitrogen fertilizer
(perhaps even two) in addition to ordering 1 x 500 kg bag of CAN27 and 1 x 500
kg bag of N34. This will strengthen the credibility of the transaction as it
will act in your favour when it comes to avoiding suspicion.
·
Ensure that you have the required tools/facility in order to handle the delivery
when receiving the order. If you ordered 3-4 bags (2 AN bags and 1-2
non-nitrogen “dummy bags”) you will need at least 3-4 wooden pallets (without
metal nails), a jack that can handle weights up to 700 kg and a dry
outhouse/garage with roof and a large enough door measuring at least 5-10m2.
When the delivery man arrives you will ask him to place the bags on the pallets
you have prepared. You will then use the jack to transport these pallets into
your outhouse/barn/garage. When you have placed the 3-4, 500 kg bags inside you
must cover the two nitrogen bags with a plastic cover (with straps) and ensure
that the content is protected from moisture. Obviously, you don’t need to worry
about the 1-2 other dummy bags as you ordered them just for show… :-)
I haven’t actually used this method yet, myself, but this is the approach I will
select shortly. I guess you will soon find out if I succeed or not. Remember;
Confidence separates the winners from the losers, so good luck.
Countering the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist EUSSR counter strike
Keep in mind that the EUSSR regimes will adapt to this approach; perhaps as soon
as after the first operation (as of 2011). So we risk that in the future;
absolutely all farming companies will be likely to undergo extreme scrutiny. If
this happens, we must adapt and create a new and modified strategy. This EUSSR
counter strike will be countered by the Knights Templar by simply encouraging
and advising our Justiciar Knights to actually buy/rent a small farm and
successfully run it/harvest and sell the crops for one year, prior to the
operation. By choosing this approach we will successfully nullify the expected
counter-strategy which the EUSSR regimes will attempt to implement in order to
adapt to the initial strategy I presented.
Required grooming/clothing/lifestyle standard for any and all personal contact
with suppliers/couriers
If you meet a supplier/courier (FedEx/UPS couriers included) wearing a bomber
jacket, with a military hair cut, neck/arm tattoos, while standing next to your
hillbilly swamp jeep, you can be assured that he will report you to the
authorities or refuse to sell/deliver anything. Always ensure that you follow
tactical grooming/clothing/lifestyle standards and plan and execute an
appropriate clothing/behavioral strategy. Conceal any visible tattoos etc.
The goal must be to look like, sound like and act like a well-educated European
conservative pensioner type character. Think of this as an advanced
psycho-social tactical façade required to succeed in your most critical of all
phases; the chemical acquisition phase.
Example:
·
Clothing: Lacoste etc, conservative colours (low cost brands will not be as
potent in sending the same “psycho-socio-economic signals” required to
“trick/soothe” the target.)
·
Transportation: Hyundai Atos (pensioner grey).
Yes, I know; it’s a really gay car but extremely effective at sending the
signals you want to send to your surroundings. Very effective for cross border
smuggling and it is easy to carve out 20-40 L storage space inside the lower
part of the back seats.
·
Conservative hair cut. Avoid dying your hair black.
·
No visible piercings
·
No visible tattoos
·
Language: conservative, calm, concise. Unless you have a talent for acting;
avoid small talk. Never talk about politics with suppliers/couriers.
Act in a nice and friendly manner; smile!
The above comes natural to me, as I have learned to embrace this style (with the
exception of the car, obviously), but I realize that this will be a hard
psychological barrier to break for some people. In particular for “rebel-types”
who feel they have to manifest their rebellious nature through physical
manifestations (tattoos, hair style, fashion). Many of these individuals have
traditionally loathed authority and traditional conservative principles. Accept
it for what it is, adapt, and just do it. You will quickly notice that, with
this new façade makeover, you will avoid all the scrutiny usually reserved for
classical “suspect stereotypes” and manage to substantially increase the success
rate of your acquirement phase. Don’t let your short term pride come in the way
of succeeding operationally. So expect to swallow a few camels. Pain is
temporary, after all, while pride is eternal. Your nation, your people and even
the whole of Europe will be forever in your debt for your sacrifice.
Creating credible cover stories to avoid scrutiny for successful delivery of
base chemicals
I’m going to repeat the following once again as its absolutely essential in the
“chemicals acquisition phase”.
Create a company with an appropriate name (something specific enough to be
relevant to fertilizer (CAN 27, 500 kg +) and chemical import and at the same
time; vague enough to be able to order both. Would you succeed if you ordered in
the name of Ali Muhammad from Jihadi Imports Ltd? In order to succeed you need
to represent the exact opposite to ensure success. F example; London
Geofarm/Research Institute/Agricultural Research/Nutrients Research etc.
Create and solidify your cover story
You also need a solid cover story in order to back up your “façade”. You have to
memorize a 5 second “explanation pitch” for EVERY single supplier. You must
expect that he will ask you a “security question”. These security questions will
likely include why you are purchasing the product? So why did you buy the
product again?
A multitude of cover stories
I have cover stories for at least 20 different scenarios. One being why I am
creating explosives, in case they ever find out. I’m in the process of creating
a mineral extraction company and have created and printed a 100 page
professional looking prospectus which even specifies quite specific blasting
locations. This should be enough to create a reasonable doubt if I ever get in a
pre-operational judicial jam.
Nicotine cover story
Here is a copy of the email I sent to the supplier;
Hello,
My company
is in the process of attempting to establish a market for e-cigarettes in
Norway. In this context we are going to produce a test/research batch of these
products with the intention of documenting the effects as a quit-smoking
product. Our government’s main argument against allowing commercialization of
these specific quit-smoking products is that there is lacking research on this
area.
We are
looking forward to pursue the possibility of choosing you as our main supplier
of nicotine base once e-cigarettes can be commercialized in Norway. However, in
this initial research phase we only require an initial 30 ml batch of 99% liquid
nicotine.
I realize
that there is a 1 L minimum order but we do not mind paying the full liter price
for the 30 ml batch.
I assume
that you will take all security precautions regarding safe
shipping/packing/labeling considering the extremely toxic nature of the
compound.
Thanks in
advance and hope to hear from you soon.
Best
regards,
Company

Nitromethane hobby fuel
It is for your “insert hobby helicopter model here” and ensure that the specific
model in fact uses nitro hobby fuel (such as f example Align T-Rex 600).
CAN 27 fertilizer, 500 kg+
This requires the most preparation of all acquisition phases. You must
familiarize yourself with a specific crop, farming jargons and terminology. You
must also rent a small farm/cottage for 2-4 months with an appropriate outhouse
where you can process your big bag(s) of fertilizer in an anonymous manner. The
outhouse/mini barn/garage will be used for unloading the big bag(s) of
fertilizer, pulverizing the granules, mixing with fuel oil/alu dust and placing
them into water proof 50 kg plastic bags. You would also need a pallet jack with
a 800 kg lift capacity (sold used for >200 Euro) and an appropriate vehicle
(used station wagon or something similar). The small farm you are renting is
just for show (to prevent the supplier/fertilizer driver from becoming
suspicious), as it is likely that you will use the option of ordering the 500 kg
bag of fertilizer directly to this farm. A large truck will deliver the
fertilizer to your “farm”, where you will have to meet him with a pallet jack.
He will place the load on to your pallet jack which you then lift enough to
clear the floor/ground for subsequent travel to your mini barn/garage/outhouse.
Another alternative is that you acquire a truck and have the supplier load the
500 kg bag onto it. As you reach the anonymous surroundings of your mini
barn/garage/outhouse you basically just place the content into 50 kg bags,
unload, and travel to your supplier for the second load. The most important
factor in this process is to avoid raising any red flags with your supplier.
Consider ordering 6 months in advance to increase your credibility as a “legit”
buyer. This, together with your company name, your farm/cottage w.
outhouse/barn, etc. should be enough to avoid any and all supplier scrutiny.
Costs required: Renting farm/cottage for 6 months: 3000-6000 Euro, pallet jack:
200 Euro, used truck: 5000-15000 Euro (you can re-sell it after you are done
though)
General chemical cover story
As there are a wide range of chemicals I will not cover them all. Just research
the specific chemical in Wikipedia and you will see an overview of
commercial/industrial uses. Make up an appropriate cover story for that specific
chemical. Be creative;)
Explosive chemical cover story
If a compound has limited or no civilian uses, you should just say that you are
a pyrotechnical enthusiast who are going to create a nice, low budget show for
your sister’s wedding ceremony/new years eve in a rural area. And that you have
been creating various pyrotechniques for years. There are several thousands of
these enthusiasts all around Europe and many suppliers are familiar with them
and their hobby. You don’t want to tell him any of this unless he specifically
asks, though. Remember to research which pyrotechnique compound you are planning
on creating, just in case.
3.55 Creating chemical or biological weapons - easier than creating explosives
Poisoned bullets or arrowheads have been used in warfare for thousands of years.
Archers understood the effect of dragging their arrows through dirt or feces in
the medieval period. This would cause infections as there were no antibiotics at
the time.
For those Justiciar Knights who feels it would be simply too risky or
unrealistic to successfully manufacture explosives of the appropriate or
required quanta there are other just as efficient methods of shock attacks that
are available to us. Shock attacks or more precisely armed assaults, involving
assault rifles or pistols, on concentrations of category A and B traitors,
should be combined with the application of poison bullets. A relatively simple
process will convert hollow point and even standard ammunition – lead or other
alloy bullets into hollow bullets. These hollow projectiles are then injected
with a biological or chemical toxin. After the injection the hole is plugged
with a self-made plastic or rubber cap. The purpose of using chemical or
biological rounds is to inflic fatal poisoning should the target fail to die
from external or internal bleeding from the projectile itself. A relatively
simple procedure and manufacturing technique converts your projectile weapon
into a chemical or biological weapon. I will explain in depth how this is done
for the manufacture of the chemical and biological toxin itself and for
converting standard bullets into chemical and/or biological rounds.
Toxicity – LD50
The term toxicity is used to express how poisonous a chemical is. Scientists
distinguish between two kinds of toxicity: acute and chronic. Acute toxicity
refers to the amount of damage caused by a chemical after a short-term exposure
to a large dose of the chemical.
Scientists have various ways of measuring the acute toxicity of a chemical.
Perhaps the most common is called LD50 . The abbreviation LD50 stands for
"lethal dose, 50 percent." It is the amount of the chemical required to kill
one-half of a population of organisms in a short period of time.
In order for a toxin to be useful as a weapon with lethal effect it is required
that the LD50 dose physically fits inside a hollow projectile. This excludes the
great majority of toxins as most poisons have an LD50 of more than 500 mg.
Projectile capacity vs. caliber:
7.62 – 300 mg
5.56 – 100 mg (too small)
9 mm – 150 mg
How to create chemical/biological bullets
For this you will need a rifle/pistol hollow point bullet. Hollow point ammo is
impossible to aquire for pistols in most countries and hard to acquire for
semi-automatic rifles in some. If acquiring hollow point ammo is not an option
for you, you have two options:
1.
Buy hollow point bullets (JHP) and use a syringe to inject the toxin. Plug the
hole when done. If necessary, use the thinnest of drill heads to make the hollow
area bigger before injection and plugging.
2.
I haven’t actually bothered to test the following method, since I have access to
hollow point ammo for my Ruger Mini-14. But theoretically, this should work: set
up an improvised work bench, fasten the projectile (I don’t think it will work
if the projectile is still inside the bullet) and drill out a hollow chamber in
each projectile from the top down (you first cut of the tip with a metal
clipper). It may be easier to use FMJ (full metal jacket) bullets as it consists
of a lead projectile with a metal layer. When you clip the edge it should be
easy to drill out enough lead to form an appropriate hollow chamber which can be
plugged. This will require some practice and expect to fail on your first few
projectiles. As soon as you have successfully drilled out a hollow chamber
inside the desired number of projectiles you must self load these projectiles to
produce bullets. As soon as you have created the bullets only the injection and
plugging remains. Choose an injection method based on the toxins substance form.
For liquids use a syringe with needle, for powder use a mini funnel. As you have
injected the desired amount of toxin (60-150 mg) you seal the chamber by placing
a small circle of aluminum foil (created by using a paper hole puncher. You put
the circle in place with a pincer and place a drop or two of superglue to seal
the chamber. You then place another circle of aluminum foil above the layer of
superglue followed by a drop or two of melted tin to complete the job.
Alternatively, you may create plastic/rubber improvised plugs and f example add
a little bit of super glue. You end up with a chemical/biological projectile
with a relatively a smooth projectile tip.

cast your own projectiles
Intro to bullet abreviations:
Jacketed Hollow Point = JHP (common)
Jacketed Hollow Core=JHC (rare)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_vYYoArHtE&feature=related
Equipment required:
1 x Electric furnace (Lee precision furnace)
2 x bullet mould
Long steel spoon with wooden handle (to gather impurities in the fluxing
process)
1 x leedle (furnace spoon for molten lead)
20 x bullet lead bars (melted in the furnace)
1 x piece of wood to tap open the mould.
1 x full face respirator with toxic vapor filters (f example 3M 6800), since
lead is a toxic substance and will cause fumes to form. The safety glasses
component of your full face respirator will prevent any lead splatter in case
water accidentally touches molten lead.
Step 1:
Fluxing: You need to make sure your lead is clean before you cast it into the
mould. Thus, you need to start with a simple lead purification process which is
required to ensure lead purity after you melt your bullet lead bars.
·
Take a bullet lead bar and melt it in your electric furnace.
·
Take a small spoon size of fluxing compound and put it in the molten lead. I do
not know the exact ratio; probably 5 g per lead bar, although this is probably
indicated on the box.
·
Stir the molten lead until the fluxing compound (f example: a box of Frankford
Arsenal – CleanCast Lead Fluxing Compound) is completely dissolved and
impurities start to gather on the surface.
·
Spoon out the impurities until the surface is completely “silvery”
·
Your lead is now purified and you can start on the actual moulding process.
Step 2:
·
Have your mould and your ledle warmed up
·
Fill the mould with lead, wait 10-20 sec, then hit the mould with a tree stick
over a bucket filled with water (at least 2 meters away from furnace). The lead
projectiles will come out of the mould and be cooled in the bucket of water.
This will instantly harden the lead projectile so you avoid any lead particles
in the barrel. Avoid getting any water close to the molten lead as it will cause
a reaction which will lead the lead to splash (steam explosion).
Step 3:
Preparing the Bullet for Re-Loading
·
You need to put the projectiles from the bucket of water into a sizer. It will
size the bullet to the exact diameter of the bore
·
You then have to treat the projectiles with a lubrication liquid. You may put
100 projectiles in f example a milk jug and mix it around in a liquid lubricant.
Let sit overnight in the liquid lubricant. This will ensure that the projectiles
are completely lubricated and will prevent lead from being shaved off the bullet
as it goes down the bore of your weapon. Ignoring this aspect will result in the
projectile leaving a considerable amount of lead particles in your barrel and
make it an inaccurate bullet.
Potential mistakes during bullet casting
Not all projectiles created will be usable. Estimate a 50% failure rate where
the projectiles will be significantly flawed and have to be “redone”.
·
Frosted bullets (rugged surface) is a result of the molten lead being too hot.
Try to lower your temperature a bit.
·
Impartial base on bullet: not enough lead poured in
·
Large marks/voids in bullet: mould wasn’t hot enough or molten lead being too
hot, or mould wasn’t filled in one motion
·
Flawed lube bands, void in base or minor marks/voids on the side, top base: is
caused by either having garbage/impurities in the mix, or whacking the sprue
plate before it has cooled enough. If the lead is still very hot, the sprue
plate will take some lead from the base with it.
Safety precautions:
Ensure good ventilation
Lead content in the blood at only 50 micro grams per deciliter is enough to kill
you. Good ventilation and a 3M, 6800 with appropriate toxic fume filters is your
best protection.
PS. There are other and even better guides out there.
Chemical/biological HP rounds against soft targets (traitors), AP/FMJ ammo
against hard targets (system protectors)
You use a standard round for every chemical/biological round. A clip of 30 (28)
bullets would contain 15 (14) poison rounds and 15 (14) standard rounds. You
budget 2 bullets per targeted individual which will ensure at least one lethal
chemical/biological hit per person. Hollow point bullets are superior for soft
targets (targets lacking armour) as the projectile mushrooms immediately after
penetration of the skin. This results in optimal tissue damage and prevents the
projectile from exiting the body. As such, the chemical or biological toxin is
dispersed in and around the wound.
If you bring a total of 10 extra large clips – 28 bullets per clip (5 for your 9
mm side arm and 5 for your semi-automatic assault rifle) you will require a
total of 140 chemical/biological rounds.
You should always bring a couple of clips containing ammunition designed for
defeating system protectors (with level IIIA body armour). Hollow point ammo is
worthless against such armour as it fails to penetrate the Kevlar. For defeating
system protectors you must bring AP ammo, alternatively brass bullets or FMJ.
However, an alternative strategy is to set up your “system protector clip” in
such a way that every other bullet is chemical/biological. In an optimal setting
you could be able to aim for the legs/arms/face every other shot. Because if the
word is out that KT is using lethal chemical/biological rounds against system
protectors again, it will contribute to sow terror into their hearts and will
thus contribute to defection or as a deterring factor.

Ricin bullets, biological rounds – Death by diarrhea
Ricin is produced easily and inexpensively, is highly toxic, is stable in
aerosolized form, and has no treatment or vaccine. It is extracted from the
castor bean by using a specific purification method.
Source 1: A single castor bean contains a few micrograms of ricin. 5-20 castor
beans worth of ricin would be enough to kill a person.
Source 2: According to the Merck Index: An Encyclopedia of Chemicals, Drugs, and
Biologicals (1997), a dose of ricin weighing only 70 micrograms (size of 1 salt
grain) will kill a person.
Source 3: Ricin is one of the most poisonous naturally occurring substances
known to man. As little as one milligram of ricin can kill an adult.
Source 4:
1-2 granules will kill a person
Ricin is even more toxic than strychnine and cyanides. Ricin also has the
ability to accumulate in the body until a lethal dose is reached. Symptoms of
ricin poisoning are stomachache, headache, fever, nausea and vomiting, bloody
diarrhea, cold sweat, sleepiness, disorientation, shortage of breath, seizures,
and death. Ricin if inhaled or even touched can kill in a day or two.
A few decades ago, a Soviet assassin, in Western Europe, killed an
anti-Communist using an umbrella weapon. Georgi Markov
was a Bulgarian journalist who had spoken out against the Bulgarian government.
While waiting for a bus near Waterloo Station in London, in 1978, Markov was
murdered, stabbed in the leg with a poisoned umbrella. A perforated metallic
pellet stuck in his leg was found to contain the deadly ricin toxin.
The mottled seeds of castor bean, which are about the size and shape of large
pinto beans, contain two powerful poisons, the alkaloid ricinin and the
toxalbumin ricin.
Common uses include lubricants in oil.
Guide 1: How to Extract Poison From Castor Beans
This guide will teach you how to extract ricin from your chosen bean. Be
forewarned, however; these chemicals are highly toxic and have a high chance of
killing you if you are not careful.
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions:
·
Castor beans
·
10 ounces of water
·
2 tablespoons of lye
·
Blender
·
Acetone
·
Covered Jar
·
Hazmat suit with 3M 6800 full face mask with organic vapor filter (VERY
IMPORTANT)
·
Surgical Gloves
·
Coffee Filter
1. Soak 2-3 ounces of your chosen bean in 10 ounces of water mixed with 2
tablespoons of lye for one hour. You will have to weigh the beans down with
something- gravel and rocks from outside should do the trick.
2. Remove the beans, let them dry, and remove the hulls from the beans.
3.Place the beans in a blender with 8-12 ounces of acetone and grind the beans
like you would with coffee beans.
4.Pour the mixture into a covered jar and let it stand for about three days.
5.Wearing the hazmat suit, gloves and full face mask, pour it into another jar
using the coffee filter, removing as much acetone as possible.
6.Repeat steps 4-5 to filter it a bit more. What you have left will be
nearly-pure ricin.

How to extract ricin
Here's the formula for Ricin. The reason I place this on here is because if you
try to make this poison (kills in 4 days, no good cure and the cure is rare) you
will probably get some on your skin and die. I wanted the formula just so I
could know it. This stuff is extraordinarily poisonous -- arsenic takes 100
granules to kill someone, ricin takes 1-2 granules.
Procedure:
1. Obtain some castor beans from a garden supply store.
2. Put about 2 ounces of hot water into a glass jar and add a teaspoon full of
lye. Mix it thoroughly.
3. Wait for the lye/water mixture to cool
4. Place 2 ounces of the beans into the liquid and let them soak for one hour.
5. Pour out the liquid being careful not to get any on exposed skin.
6. Rinse the beans off with cool water and then remove the outer husks with
tweezers.
7. Put the bean pulp into a blender or coffee grinder with 4 ounces of acetone
for every 1 oz. of beans.
8. Blend the pulp/acetone until it looks like milk.
9. Place the milky substance in a glass jar with an airtight lid for three days.
10. At the end of three days shake the jar to remix everything that’s started to
settle then pour it into a coffee filter. Discard the liquid.
11. When no more liquid is dripping through the filter, squeeze the last of the
acetone out of it without losing any of the bean pulp.
12. Spread the filter out on a pan covered with newspaper and let it dry stand
until it is dry.
13. The final product must be as free of acetone and other contaminants as
possible. If it is not powdery but still sort of moist and pulpy it must be
combined with the appropriate amount of acetone again and let sit for one day.
14. Then repeat steps 9-12 again until a nice dry powder is produced.
Don't ask me where to get the beans I don't know but it’s a semi-common plant
(as in a large greenhouse will have it)
"Ricin is easily purified from castor-oil manufacturing waste. The aqueous phase
left over from the oil extraction process is called waste mash. It contains
about 5-10% ricin by weight. Separation requires only simple chromatographic
techniques.
Patented extraction process
A process for extracting ricin has been described in a patent.[25] The described
extraction method is very similar to that used for the preparation of soy
protein isolates.
The patent was removed from the United States Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO) database sometime in 2004, but it is still available online through
international patent databases.[26][27] Modern theories of protein chemistry
cast doubt on the effectiveness of the methods disclosed in the patent.[28]"
Does anyone know how to actually extract ricin without killing themselves? Wiki
doesn't make it seem too hard.
Use gloves and mask or you die, It's pretty easy to die from it while making it
(goes through the skin).
I found some better info

Nicotine bullets, chemical rounds – Death by respiratory failure
Pure nicotine is one of the most deadly poisons on earth. Pure nicotine
(99%-99.5%) from China is typically solvent extracted from tobacco leaves and is
described as a clear to yellowish oily liquid. This is generally sold by Kg
(weight) as opposed to volume (L). However from all I've seen, these liquids
have the same density as water 1kg=1L.
Handling techniques
It is important that you make sure that proper handling techniques are applied
as two drops of this on your skin will kill you, and I'm sure the vapors would
do the same.
Quantity required and price
You really won’t need more than 30 ml per Justiciar Knight. 30 ml is equivalent
to 600 drops. As two drops is equivalent to 50 mg (you should inject 4 drops per
bullet just in case) this will be enough for exactly 150 bullets. 4 drops (0,05
ml per drop) is equivalent to 100 mg per bullet which is 40% more than the LD50
for humans with a weight of 75 kg.
Market price is currently 150 USD for 1Kg of 99% pure liquid nicotine + 160 USD
DHL shipping = 310 USD total. I just ordered a sample batch of 50 ml for a total
of 80 USD including shipping. If it doesn’t get through customs I will have to
extract nicotine from tobacco as described in another section.
Effects of nicotine poisoning
Nicotine initially causes a burning sensation in mouth and throat, then
salivation, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Then systemic effect
inclagitation, headache, sweating, dizziness, auditory and visual disturbances,
confusion, weakness and incoordination. At first respirations are deep and
rapid, blood pressure is high and pulse is slow. Intense vagal stimulation may
cause transient cardiac standstill or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Pupils are
generally constricted. Central nervous excitation is also evidenced by tremors
and sometimes by clonic-tonic convulsions. As depression develops, the pupils
dilate, the blood pressure falls and the pulse becomes rapid and often
irregular. Faintness, prostration, cyanosis and dyspnea progress to collapse.
Death from paralysis of respiratory muscles, usually only a few minutes after
collapse.
There is a cure, but it has to be injected within 5-20 minutes after nicotine
overdose. Dying from nicotine overdose is considered a horrible and painful
death.
Cigarette content of nicotine - average size/average strength tobacco
1 cig = 10mg nic (approx)
1 pak cig = 20 cigs x 10mg = 200mg nic
1 carton cigs = 10 paks x 200mg nic = 2000mg nic
1lb tobacco yields about 3 cartons cigs x 2000mg = 6000mg nic
1oz eJuice = 30ml x 36mg nic per ml = 1080mg nic per 1oz bottle
1lb tobacco = 6000mg nic divided by 1080 mg nic per 1 oz eJuice = 5.5 1oz
bottles eJuice
Snus content of nicotine:
Mini portion is usually 4mg/portion
Standard portion is usually 8mg/portion
Strong portion is usually 12-17 mg/portion
1.
Thunder portionssnus contains 16 mg PER GRAM (Thunder Extra Strong Original
Portion), the strongest snus available. (either Thunder or Odin snus)
2.
General Ekstra Sterk contains 15 mg per pouch.
A roll (10 boxes) of portion weighs 390 g whereas 240 g is snus
A roll of loose weighs 620 g whereas 450 g is snus
Price – one pack of snus:
Snus 20 pack portion: 35 SEK (16 mg/g): = 384 mg per box
Snus 20 pack loose: 35 SEK (16 mg/g): = 720 mg per box
Smoke 20 pack 100s 35 SEK (12 mg per): 240 mg per pack
Extracting nicotine from tobacco or snus?
In theory, snus seems like the most cost efficient alternative when is
extraction of nicotine. However, it is allegedly a lot easier to extract
nicotine from tobacco so choosing snus as the source for extraction is not
recommended. At least, this is according to 4 individuals who apparently tried
20 different methods for extracting nicotine from snus (found sources on e-cig
forum). I will make an attempt myself on extracting from both snus and tobacco
to confirm this, if my Chinese parcel is seized.
But if I am unable to order pure nicotine from Asia, I will probably end up
selecting tobacco (and not snus) as the source for extraction.
Decoction as extraction method
Decoction is a method of extraction by boiling of plant material.
The method of extraction is very simple:
From snus:
Put loose snus in tea bags, boil, then filter, then boil again etc (Similar to
tobacco approach). I’ve also heard that microwave-boiling snus in water for a
two-three minutes will yield even better results.
From tobacco:
Guide 1:
How to extract nicotine from tobacco:
Water alone will do the job. Just add tobacco to hot water, heat it to boiling,
strain off solids, and then filter the stuff.
Boil down the remaining water until it is supersaturated. Then, let it cool
slowly. Add a seed crystal or scrape the sides of the smooth container with a
glass stirring rod (or a spoon if nothing else is available).
Filter the crystals that form in the solution with vacuum filtration. A good way
to do this is by putting a coffee filter in a funnel, then putting the funnel
spout-down in a running wet/dry vac.
Guide 2:
This entire process took about 3-4 hours to complete. I would recommend a gas
stove or be very careful and patient with an electric stove top. Get some
distilled water and a measuring cup. Also filters for a drip coffee machine.
Put the tobacco in a sauce pan (1 quart).
Add two cups of the distilled water. Bring this to a slow rolling boil, stirring
about every 3-4 minutes.
Simmer until you have about a 1/3 cup of liquid remaining. It is very important
to not turn the heat up to high or you have a bunch of sticky thick useless
stuff, or so I have heard.
Let cool about 10 mins.
I taped my coffee filter around the outside lip of a 12oz ceramic coffee cup and
poured this mixture into the filter. Some of the juice seeped through, most did
not.
I finally, after about a half hour, untaped the filter, being careful to not
dump the tobacco into my juice. I folded the filter up and squeezed the
remaining juice into the cup. Take the tobacco left in the filter and eat it.
(just kidding:P).
Place the left over tobacco back into the sauce pan, add 2 cups of the Distilled
water and repeat the procedure.
This time slow bowl until you have a bit less juice (about a quarter cup).
Remember to watch this, do not let it boil down too long or you have a thick
sticky mess.
Strain it again in a separate container.
Combine the two containers of liquid.
Strain this again back into the sauce pan.
Slow boil again until you have a quarter cup or a bit less.
Strain one more time.
Guide 3:
I myself have been using PGA (95% pure grain alcohol)
and a soxhlet extractor to mimic this type of extraction.
I then vacuum filter to .22um while it is still in about 250ml
PGA (Started with 20gm of cigar tobacco)
I use vacuum distillation to recover most of the PGA.
I use warm bottom heat to evaporate more of the liquid. It will precipitate out
some of the oils.
Re-dilute, re-filter, re-recover and re-evaporate. A lot of tars come out at the
filtering step.
You end up with very dark but low solids
Guide 4:
Buy e-juice (liquid with 10% nicotine) and boil down. E-Juice is pretty
inexpensive even at $20. per ounce.

Nicotine fumes last about half an hour in air environment
In its pure form, which is called "freebase nicotine", it reacts chemically with
oxygen in the air, with water, and most other living tissues, destroying them
instantly.
Freebase nicotine is highly poisonous and is sometimes used as an insecticide.
It makes a good insecticide because it only lasts about half an hour in the
environment, being so unstable in the presence of air. In very small amounts,
freebase nicotine can be injected into a person's bloodstream and has an effect
almost identical to cocaine.
Safety precautions when working with pure nicotine
·
3M 6800 full face mask with toxic/chemical vapor filter
·
Hazmat suit
·
Gloves
·
Good ventilation
·
Nicotine fumes will stay active in the air for aprox 30 mins so don’t remove
your respirator and suit until you are sure the air has acceptable quality
·
Some swear to laboratory fume hoods (glass boxes with direct ventilation) but I
don’t think this is necessary as long as you have the above
Take the necessary precautions even when handling lower % nicotine liquids.
Basics like gloves, pipettes, funnels, graduated cylinders, beakers, storage
bottles of various sizes, goggles, and even a proper respirator from paint
supply if dealing with high nic juice.
Buying pure nicotine (nicotine USP)
You may buy pure nicotine from the following suppliers:
http://www.jgherb.com
Also, check the several hundred Asian suppliers through Alibaba.com
http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/pure-nicotine.html
In the UK, 7% is the max legal content. Similar percentages probably apply in
some other EU countries as well.
Another alternative to ordering online is to make an arrangement with a
supplier, then travel to china and smuggle the pure nicotine in your briefcase.
Nicotine is not considered as a narcotic so if you get caught you will only get
a fine.
How much of 99% pure nicotine do you need for each hollow point bullet?
Given that 2 drops (I would probably go with 3 or 4 if enough room in
projectile) is enough for each lethal dose/bullet you would need :
10 magazines (28 bullets whereas 14 are chemical): 14 x 10 magazines = 140
bullets
140 bullets x 2 drops = 280 drops
A "metric" drop = 0,05 ml (50
μL)
280 drops x 0,05 ml = 14 ml
0,10 ml = aprox 50 mg of pure nicotine which is almost the LD50 doze for a 75 kg
individual (40-60 mg).
In other words; in order to create 140 nicotine bullets containing 50 mg of
nicotine you would need to aquire 14 ml of pure 99% nicotine. You then inject
0,10 ml of nic using a 1 ml syringe w. needle and then plug the bullet.
However, you should probably use at least 0,20 ml (4 drops) per bullet which is
aprox 100 mg (almost twice the lethal dose for a 75 kg individual). You would
then need to acquire 28 ml/0,028 liters of pure liquid nicotine.
Tips when ordering chemicals from other EU countries or from Asia
Nicotine is categorized as a pharmaceutical compound and not as narcotics in
most European countries so if customs seize your package; they will usually just
ship it back to sender and you will most likely not have to worry about them
pressing charges. They might even allow the shipment if you seem like a credible
receiver with a registered company.
Factors which will increase your chances for successfully ordering/receiving
pure nicotine and other chemicals:
Register a company; not necessarily a corporation, but a less
significant/expensive judicial entity. The name of the company should be chosen
based on a tactical assessment. F example something with geo, farm,
pharmaceutical, laboratories, research or perhaps something relating to mining
etc. I chose a hybrid for my company (Geofarm) as it eased my efforts when
starting the process of acquiring large quantities of AN fertilizer as well. Few
if any “red flags” will be raised if you “appear to be” a legit organization.
The name will help you when ordering chemicals from foreign companies and in
relation to customs procedures.
You may even consider acquiring a research permit from your government to
further the justification and easing the process of acquiring chemicals. Always
act in a formal and polite manner when contacting companies.
PCCTS, Knights Templar “franchise” operations, lead by autonomous/ independent
cells, will continue to emerge around Europe in the coming decades.
There are cells that are already in the process of attempting to acquire
chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear materials although it will be
literally impossible to create a small nuclear bomb (0,1-0,2 kt) in phase 1 of
the European civil war.
Efforts to clandestinely build a nuclear device require a coherent and
consistent investment measuring in the billions (if not tens of billions) of
dollars over a period likely spanning a decade or more. We would require large,
fixed, well-powered and vulnerable installations for a variety of aspects of the
effort. These installations represent an enormous risk and opportunity cost for
PCCTS, Knights Templar. The cultural Marxist hegemony (USASSR/EUSSR) closely
monitors some of the equipment we will need to acquire and they will concentrate
an enormous investment of intellectual, financial and material resources into
just the sort of target that they can bring their air power to bear upon.
Though the history of the use of advanced chemical, biological or nuclear
weapons in guerilla warfare is limited, the fact of the matter is that in most
cases where groups have considered pursuing these capabilities have ultimately
led to them being abandoned in favor of more obtainable and efficient tactics.
They simply fall well short of the destruction wrought by simpler and more
conventional explosive devices. Pound for pound, euro for euro and hour for hour
of effort, high explosives are far more effective at inflicting massive category
A and B casualties.
The innovation of using certain civilian infrastructure as destructive devices
is far more in line with a guerilla organisations operational thinking than
concepts of concentrating resources on building vulnerable secret facilities.
Doing so runs in the face of basic operational security considerations for any
liberation movement. However, it should be noted that essential components can
be acquired from surprising locations. F example fissle material can be stolen
from any major hospital (at least enough to create a nasty little dirty bomb)
and other components may be acquired from the Russian mafia. Furthermore, there
may open up windows of opportunities such as that of Russia in the 90s.
But what about acquiring a nuclear weapon that has already been built? The
security of nuclear weapons is and has long been an important concern for the
cultural Marxist hegemony.
However, the effort involved in actually trying to steal a British or French
nuclear warhead would entail a significant dedication of resources and an
immense intelligence effort beyond the reach of almost any liberation
organisation. Indeed, the odds of a failure are high, no matter how careful and
meticulous the planning. The nuclear weapons facilities in the UK, France and
Germany (owned by the US) are obviously not as hardened as others, but taken as
a whole, they are some of the hardest targets on the planet, and the personnel
better vetted than almost any other institution. As of now, we do not have
enough insiders working in the French, British and German facilities although we
might have enough in phase 2.
Even the lightest attempt for a Justiciar Knight cell to begin probing runs the
risk of not only failing to acquire a bomb, but setting off a series of alarms
and red flags that brings such an aggressive investigative and law
enforcement/military response down on the that particular cell that it could be
completely wiped out before it ever attempted to target its true objectives.
And even if one could be stolen or otherwise acquired, modern nuclear weapons
have been designed to include a series of highly sophisticated safety features.
Though all nuclear weapons are not created equal, these range from permissive
action links without which the device cannot be armed (a feature even Pakistani
warheads are now thought to employ) to configurations that will actually render
the fissile core(s) useless if improperly accessed. Furthermore, the theft would
be difficult to carry off without setting off the same alarms and red flags that
would leave little opportunity for the device to be smuggled particularly far.
Nuclear weapons are complex devices that require considerable care and
maintenance — especially the small, modern and easily transportable variety.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, fears arose of a series of Soviet
suitcases containing sophisticated nuclear devices were somehow lost. These
fears persisted into the 21st century, well after the fissile and radioisotope
materials in the design would have decayed significantly enough to effect the
performance of the weapon, in addition to the diminished functionality of its
other components after being handled roughly over the years.
Evaluating Nuclear Weapons and Proxies
Another suggestion would be attempting to acquire nuclear components from North
Korea, Iran, Pakistan or India. A couple of these regimes might hand off a
nuclear weapon to a non-state actor or proxy of some sort, one that would
detonate it at a mutually-agreeable target as soon as possible. One of these
countries may use a shipping container or some other clandestine means,
cooperating with a proxy, to carry out an attack on a target, the deniable use
of nuclear weapons.
Three factors must be considered when addressing the above scenario. The first
is an issue of trust and control. Non-state, militant proxies like the PCCTS,
Knights Templar would rely on patrons, a country, for support and training. But
we have our own interests as well and we hold them close. Furthermore, there is
no central hierarchy in the PCCTS, Knights Templar as we are the sum of
autonomous and completely independent cells. It is therefore not a monolithic,
unified entity but an extremely distributed network. A majority of cells are not
yet advanced enough to competently handle a large operation like this.
This of course assumes that a capable regime would ever hand over a nuke to us
in the first place. Proxies must be kept dependent; otherwise they cease to be
proxies. We do not share some deep bond of trust with any of these regimes.
Handing over even a crude nuclear device is anathema to a potential relationship
and would destroy the dynamics by which that country enforces its will as a
patron. It would have provided an organisation that it can never fully trust
with the one true guarantor of sovereignty.
Second, the nuclear device is the product of an immense, expensive national
effort. Each individual weapon or device, especially early on, represents an
enormous investment of national resources. By handing one over to an outside
group, the country not only has no assurance of it being employed in the way
they want, but opens itself to the prospect of that immense investment being
wasted or misused.
Finally, there is the issue of risk. A nuclear weapon used in a terrorist attack
against any of the cultural Marxist EUSSR regimes will be followed by the most
intense, broad and meticulous investigation in human history. The fissile
material that made it possible will be traced ruthlessly to its source. The
necessary investigative processes are not only possible and well understood, but
work to improve and further refine them has only intensified and received
additional funding after 9/11. Indeed, a country providing a nuclear weapon to
the PCCTS, Knights Templar could not have reasonable assurances that it would
not come back to haunt them, either through investigation or interrogation of
those that carried out the attack.
That country would be opening itself up to responsibility and accountability for
our actions. Again, the material will almost certainly be traced back to that
country. And it would be them that suffered the consequences.
The closest historical use of a nuclear proxy was North Koreas attempt to share
some civilian technology with Syria (dual-use precursor technologies). It
quickly decided that the entire idea was too risky and sold Syria out to Israel
and the United States, resulting in Israeli airstrikes in Western Syria in 2007.
So while the concern about technology sharing is real (and validated by the now
infamous network of A.Q. Khan), there are also limitations to how much one
country is willing to risk for an autonomous Crusader movement. The Israeli
bombing and North Korea’s betrayal of Syria will not be soon forgotten.
But most importantly, the PCCTS, Knights Templar are currently unwilling to
detonate a nuclear warhead above 0,1-0,2 kt device as the civilian casualties
would be too great. A large warhead (several kilotons) would be worthless to us.
Furthermore, we currently lack the resources and competence to successfully
reverse engineer large nuclear warheads and creating small nuclear devices
(briefcase size devices). We may re-evaluate these options at a later time.
“There are no limitations but those we inflict on ourselves...!”
Chernobyl, an accident or the most successful anti-Marxist attack in recorded
history?
Many political analysts claim that the Chernobyl accident was one of two primary
factors (Chernobyl + Afghanistan) which broke the back of the Soviet Union. This
is perhaps true, at least it contributed significantly to the fall of this
Marxist terror regime. But what if it wasn’t an accident at all but rather the
actions of a Ukrainian nationalist military cell which had successfully
infiltrated the plant? These brave anti-Marxist operatives might have
infiltrated the facility and posed as plant-workers. They sabotaged the facility
and caused the accident well knowing how much damage it would cause to the
Soviet Union. As this scenario seems farfetched it is still hard to completely
rule out the possibility. Obviously, it was not in the interest of the Soviet
Union to admit to such a “military” defeat and it was not in the interest of the
armed Ukrainian nationalist movement to take credit for the attack. Taking
credit for such a devastating attack would prompt the Soviet tyrants to
completely wipe out all Ukrainian nationalists and patriotic sympathisers as a
result. How many millions did the Soviet Union massacre; 40-60 million? And how
many more would it have massacred had it not been for this brave Ukrainian
nationalist cell? They inflicted massive civilian suffering, tens of thousands
dying of cancer (a majority was caused by a significant delay in evacuation
though and cannot be blamed on the cell). However, at the same time they may
have actually saved millions from certain death.
Morally justifiable?
This also raises an important question. Would it be morally justifiable to
initiate an attack of this magnitude in order to end a genocidal and evil regime
committed to wiping out everything European? It is important to understand how
much power we, the National Resistance Movements of Europe possess over human
life. A Justiciar Knight has a lot of responsibility to make just choices based
on pragmatical evaluations and considerations. A Justiciar Knight must never act
blindly and based on hate alone. Hate will drive you to the most
disproportionate actions resulting in excessive and unnecessary suffering.
Thorough pragmatical estimations must be made in order to make our decisions as
judges:
With our current regimes, over the next 5 decades:
-
How many of our sisters have and will be raped by Muslims?
-
How many Europeans will be ravaged, robbed, beaten, terrorised or killed by
Muslims?
-
How many of our brothers and sisters will commit suicide due to these
atrocities?
-
How many Europeans will die in the future Christian-Muslim war on European soil?
Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions?
-
Can we afford to speculate in the outcome of the coming Christian-Muslim war?
What if we lose? How many Europeans will be massacred or enslaved by Islamic
forces on European soil if we lose? Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions just
like in Anatolia or India?
-
How many patriotic oriented individuals will be ridiculed and persecuted by our
multiculturalist oppressors?
See all charges 1-8 for a complete overview of atrocities committed directly or
indirectly by the current cultural Marxist regimes.
Expected Muslim atrocity report for the next 10 years (see: Muslim atrocities
committed against Western Europeans 1960-2010 (2020)):
-
1 million+ of our sisters raped.
-
3-4 million+ of our brothers and sisters ravaged, robbed, beaten, terrorised
-
30 000-40 000+ murdered directly/indirectly (suicide due to atrocities)
When you compare these numbers to the casualty report of a future Chernobyl
attack it is obvious that the above numbers would be equivalent to 10-50
Chernobyl attacks.
Considerations and evaluation of strike
The European Resistance Movements will have to re-evaluate our future assault
methods closely and based on our ideological success as a result of using
conventional weapons of mass destruction (WMDs).
What if a majority of our future cells are annihilated by EUSSR agents or if
they somehow manage to pacify us through harsh monitoring laws? What if they
succeed in their pursuit to suppress and persecute us? Based on our success or
failure in using conventional weapons, we might end up in a situation where we
will have to consider the possibility to use drastic measures in order to
financially devastate our enemies. Pragmatical operational reasoning involves
using methods which will yield the maximum results for a minimum of invested
resources (euro by euro, hour by hour, requiring a minimal number of sacrificed
martyrs).
If we are unsuccessful in achieving concession from them and they continue with
the indirect ongoing genocide of Europeans we will have to consider using
methods which were deemed too extreme in the past.
The Chernobyl disaster broke the back of the Soviet Union. A new Chernobyl
disaster in the heart of Western Europe will break the back of the EUSSR, have
no doubt. Causing a new Chernobyl disaster on a multiculturalist regime would
completely cripple them and might eventually lead to the collapse of the EU
altogether or any targeted individual regime. However, it would potentially
cause massive civilian suffering and/or hundreds of thousands or even millions
of internally displaced individuals (refugees). A new Chernobyl disaster in the
heart of the EU will not be as devastating (civilian suffering) as that in
Ukraine/Belarus. Western European regimes will not wait a week before informing
and evacuating the public so the number of individuals affected will be
significantly less (estimated to less than 10 000-50 000).
It may be required to make such sacrifices in order to end this experimental
multiculturalist nightmare and genocide. Sometimes, the situation requires us to
be cruel and kill a limited number of civilians (indirect casualties in
shock/sabotage attacks) in order to prevent much more severe long term
atrocities against our peoples. In fact, from a pragmatical viewpoint, it would
be inhuman not to act in a cruel manner when the alternative is much worse. Just
focus on targets that can be morally justified and accept casualty numbers that
are far from exceeding the alternative future atrocities.
The resettlement of millions, mass building of new housing units, financial
compensation for up to several millions will bankrupt any multiculturalist
European country and will force them to halt all Muslim immigration.
Furthermore, it will cause the regime to cut all funding of minority groups and
foreign aid and instead focus on rebuilding. The costs will be astronomic and in
today’s currency amount to as much as 1000-5000 billion Euro which is enough to
bankrupt any regime. The regime will have no choice but to drastically reduce
their over-inflated public sector resulting in hundreds of thousands of
unemployed. All Western European countries will be forced to immediately halt
all Muslim immigration as they are forced to help the internally driven European
“refugees”.
People who are already suffering will finally be freed from the ideological
shackles (political correctness) that prevented them from standing up and fight
for what they believe in. Standing up for their ideals will involve suffering.
However, at this point the suffering is already prevalent so they will have
nothing to lose. These conditions will be favourable for further consolidation
and for the creation patriotic armed militias. Eventually, the conditions will
be there for a military coup and we will fully take advantage of this window of
opportunity.
If we successfully manage to seize political and military control of at least
one Western European country in phase 1 (as a result of a regime collapse caused
by the nuclear power plant attack) we may actually manage to deport all Muslims
before they become a majority, and by doing so we potentially save millions of
European lives from the war that most certainly awaits us when the Muslims in
any given country become the dominating force and grow overconfident. Inflicting
cruel cancer deaths on 1000 - 10 000 Europeans (in P1) might actually be the
most humane thing we do, if their sacrifice contributes to prevent a bloody
Christian-Muslims civil war (in P3) resulting in millions of deaths. And what if
we lose the Christian-Muslims civil war in P3? A worst case scenario will be a
repetition of the Hindu Kush genocides (80 million massacred Hindus, 100 million
enslaved) resulting in the massacre and enslavement of an equivalent amount of
Europeans should the Muslims dominate us one day.
Deadline - January 1st, 2020
The PCCTS, Knights Templar will allow all Western European regimes to capitulate
to our demands and we are hereby giving them a deadline which is January 1st,
2020. We will not initiate any nuclear power plant attacks until the deadline
has passed (we will instead focus on non-nuclear attacks until then). However,
if the Western European multiculturalist regimes do not fully implement our
demands - stop the European genocide, deport all Muslims from Europe and ban
multiculturalism as an anti-European hate ideology - by this date, we are
committed to effectuate ALL necessary measures in order to stop them from
annihilating everything European (see complete overview of demands in another
chapter). This decision is not mine to make but must be decided by future
Justiciar Knight Commanders based on several factors. At that point, diplomatic
and conventional military efforts will have been exhausted. The following
overview is to prepare all current and future European PCCTS, Knights Templar
cells for what lies ahead. I have
included an overview over potential targets. The planning phase should be
initiated at least 5-10 years prior to the execution of the attack (as we might
rely on insiders), which will happen after the deadline at earliest. All
committed individuals will have ample time to take a relevant education granting
them access to W. European Nuclear facilities. At that point, given that the
Western European multiculturalist regimes ignore our demands; operation “Regime
Ender” can be justified and will be implemented.
Minimum requirements:
·
Assault team: 2-3 man cell (1 Justiciar Knight Commander, 1-2 JK operatives)
·
Extraction/exit strategy: martyrdom operation, no chance of survival due to
massive radiation
·
Minimum funding required: 50 000 – 300 000 Euro
·
Primary WMD: 1 x 2-7 ton “barrack buster” WMD, depending on strength of
containment building. A smaller charge (50-200kg charge) may have to be
transported inside the containment building to the secondary containment
structure (if that facility has one) as the blast from a large single source
detonation may be unable to destroy the reactor inside the containment building
due to the fact that a secondary containment structure shielded against the
initial blast. Not all nuclear power plants use a secondary containment
structure (see other approaches).
·
Method of delivery: aerial or ground vessel, alternatively smaller charges are
brought inside the facility and placed near reactor. A small scooter vehicle
that has a carrying capacity of 100-500kg may be used to transport the charge(s)
from the truck outside.
·
Equipment required: 2 trucks (one for the primary WMD and one for the secondary
freight vehicle, the smaller secondary mobile bomb, the makeshift bridge and the
load of gasoline/rubber/tar mix), full body armour, assault rifles, grenades,
armour penetration rounds. The assault team will bring extra equipment for any
infiltrators already at the facility.
·
Operation description: containment building and all containment barriers must be
destroyed, reactor must be destroyed (optimally while online and before the
Reactor Protective System has been activated), the load of gasoline/rubber will
be placed and lit inside and close to the reactor to ensure the development of
significant plumes (further studies required)
Potential obstacles: multiple armed guards, 1-2 checkpoints with armed
personnel, each with anti-vehicle barriers (either tire puncturing devices or
other anti-vehicle barriers). The compound is likely to be encircled by at least
one concrete wall.
Assault strategy 1
(no insiders): An assault team of three Justiciar Knights, depending on plant
security, might be enough to neutralise the checkpoint guards (based on the
number of armed guards). Some facilities will have many; others will have no
armed guards at all. Deception might prove valuable. F example by posing as
representatives from the fire authorities, forging IDs, insignia and uniforms.
Bomb truck may be modifies so it mimics a fire truck.
Assault strategy 2
(no insiders): An assault team of three
Justiciar Knights. Two fights their way inside, forces the plant workers to take
the reactor online and deactivates the interior bomb shield, then detonates a
smaller charge (50 kg) destroying the reactor. One Knight should study the
safety systems and learn how to turn the reactor online, unless restricted by
keys, password, etc. As soon as this is done the
third Knight (who is outside waiting in the “barrack buster truck”)
detonates the load and tears a hole in the containment building. A truck
containing gasoline/rubber with a bridge device might be required to ensure that
the required plumes are generated inside which will transport the radiation to
the athmosphere. It is likely that the interior bomb shield is likely to
activate automatically as soon as the first explosion detonates. In this case, a
total of 3 bombs will be required (1 large, 2 smaller).
Assault strategy 3
(1 insider+2): An assault team of two Justiciar Knights might be enough to
neutralise the checkpoint guards given that one Justiciar Knight works at the
checkpoint undercover. The undercover guard can easily neutralise the other
checkpoint guards, deactivate security measures and open the gates.
Assault strategy 4
(insider assault – similar to the Chernobyl attack): An assault team of 2 armed
Justiciar Knight insiders might be enough to shut down/sabotage the Reactor
Protective System (ECCS and SLCS) by f. example sabotage certain reactor
emergency systems so that the system cannot initiate an automatic SCRAM
procedure and: 1. sabotage the emergency diesel generators and 2: rupture a
large coolant pipe in the location that is considered to place the reactor in
the most danger. However, due to the airtight containment building this insider
assault would need an external Justiciar Knight to blow a hole in the building
or cause the structure to collapse. The outside Knight would need to be heavily
armed and successfully manage to place a load of 4000-7000 kg of explosives
close to the containment building in order for the leakage to reach the
atmosphere.
Assault strategy 5
(aerial assault): A civilian aircraft with enough carrying capacity to hold 2-5
ton of cargo may be used. The detonation has to be timed perfectly as the blast
radius has to be able to destroy the containment bulding. Testing shows that
many containment buildings can withstand a direct hit by both fighter jets and
even civilian airliners. However, it is uncertain how a civilian aircraft loaded
with explosives would cause. There is a no-fly-zone surrounding the facility.
Any ground to air missile devices (if any) placed close to the facility may pose
a threat to the aircraft.
Assault strategy 6
(aerial assault): Not a very realistic scenario but in any case: at least two of
the cell members infiltrate a military compound (the closest one to the power
plant) and uses a fighter jet loaded with a bunker buster missile to destroy the
reactor. I am not even sure if bunker buster missiles exist though or if there
are any jet fighter missiles which has the potency to penetrate a containment
building (they are sometimes constructed to withstand missile attacks).
Justiciar Knights already working within the air force may serve this purpose as
well as long as one of them can operate a fighter jet and the other one has the
competence to fuel and arm it. Unlikely scenario.
End
note:
for plants with a containment building and a secondary containment structure
(fully or partly submerged underground), a secondary or even a tertiary
explosive device may be required based on the damage inflicted by the primary
blast. 100 kg for the secondary and tertiary bomb should be enough. The problem
here is that the carrying capacity of an individual is 50 kg at best which
reduces the possibilities to transport a secondary bomb inside the facility.
However, based on the size and shape of the crater after the initial blast (and
whether the structure collapsed or not), a larger secondary bomb (200-500kg) can
be transported inside the facility using a transportation device such as a
snow-mobile or a re-designed scooter. Components to create/deploy a makeshift
bridge over the crater may be necessary in order for the vehicle to safely cross
the crater. A study of the target facility is required in order to evaluate the
desired attack strategy.
Our
reliance on plumes[1]
Let’s imagine the following scenario:
1.
The containment building and all containment barriers were breached by the
primary “barrack buster” (4000-7000 kg)
2.
The reactor was successfully destroyed while being in an on-line state
As our primary goal is not to destroy the reactor alone but to ensure a
significant release of highly radioactive fallout into the atmosphere and over
an extensive geographical area, we rely on plumes caused by fire (momentum) as
the “transportation method”. We may have to consider including a third truck
loaded with a mix of gasoline and tar/rubber and detonate it as close to the
reactor as possible (optimally inside the containment building). Alternatively a
load of 2000 litres of gasoline/rubber/tar mix may be included in the second
truck and placed strategically inside and close to the reactor by the
scooter/snow-mobile prior to or after we destroy the reactor. This would result
in the development of significant plumes transporting highly radioactive fallout
into the atmosphere and would thus drastically increase the estimated “Exclusion
zone”.
At this point in time 1 Justiciar Knight may already be dead and the two others
severely contaminated. The final goal for the contaminated Knights will be to
prevent all rescue personnel from:
1.
Sealing the blast hole in the containment building (depending on the radius of
the whole)
2.
Putting out the fires for the next 60 minutes
The regime will counter this strategy by sending in an assault team (with hazmat
suits). These suits will prevent them from fighting efficiently. The Knights
final stand will cause a significant delay of the regimes counter-measures.
Financial losses and human suffering relating to the successful implementation
of: “Operation Regime Ender”
Financial losses for the multiculturalist regime:
·
Resettlement of everyone within the exclusion zone: 30-50 (100) km radius (300K
- 2 million people)
·
Causing all infrastructure within the exclusion zone: 30-50 (100) km radius to
be abandoned for the next 200 years due to the release of highly radioactive
fallout.
·
All businesses within the exclusion zone (thousands of small to medium
businesses) will be paralyzed resulting in a massive loss of taxes for the
regime
·
A large proportion of the 300k – 2 million “internally displaced individuals”
(refugees) will be pacified for a long period resulting in a massive loss of
taxes for the regime.
·
Continuing and substantial decontamination and health care costs
·
National stock market will collapse as everyone will panic sell and attempt to
salvage their funds
·
Pan-European stock markets will take a severe blow and are likely to crack as
the panic spreads
·
International stock markets will take a severe blow and are likely to crack as
the panic spreads
·
The national currency (or Euro) will be significantly weakened as currency
investors will sell their positions and stay out
·
Such a blow is likely to cause a chain reaction causing foreign governments to
dump government issued bonds which will further weaken the currency
The costs will be astronomic and in today’s currency amount to as much as
1000-5000 billion Euro which is enough to bankrupt any regime.
Such a devastating blow is calculated to break the budget, jam the bureaucratic
gears into gridlock, and bring the system crashing down. Fear, turmoil, violence
and economic collapse would accompany such a breakdown (after the successful
implementation of “Operation Regime Ender”) providing perfect conditions for
fostering radical change (coup d’état).
Innocent human suffering/casualties
The 2005 report prepared by the Chernobyl Forum, led by the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA) and World Health Organization (WHO), attributed
56 direct deaths (47 accident
workers and nine children with thyroid cancer) and estimated that there may be
4000 extra cancer deaths among the
approximately 600 000 most highly exposed people. Although the
Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and certain limited areas remain off limits, the
majority of affected areas are now considered safe for settlement and economic
activity due to radioactive decay.
Many will claim that polluting our own lands is an unacceptable cost. However,
200 years of infertile ground in the exclusion zone is absolutely nothing
compared to the fact that our ancestors have ruled this land for the last 10 000
– 12 000 years and will continue to rule it for the next 10 000 years.
Inaccuracies in the estimated casualty report
A majority of individuals were exposed to radiation as a direct result of the
Soviet Union’s unwillingness to evacuate (one week delay) and their
unwillingness to prevent contaminated agricultural products from being
distributed. Furthermore, the dictatorship in Belarus deliberately continued to
distribute agricultural products from badly contaminated areas to their people
(this is the case even today). I have been in Belarus myself and can personally
attest to this as I have spoken to tens of people who has no choice but to
consume contaminated food. 60% of the fallout landed in Belarus and the
dictatorship is still deliberately feeding their own population with
contaminated agricultural products.
The real future casualty numbers (attributed to a future attack cell) must
therefore be considerably reduced:
Estimated casualty report for “Operation Regime Ender”
·
Less than 50 direct deaths
·
Less than 1000 future deaths cause by cancer
·
Less than 10 000 exposed people.

Understanding Nuclear reactor technology
A nuclear reactor is a device in
which nuclear chain reactions are initiated, controlled, and sustained at a
steady rate.
The most significant use of nuclear reactors is as an energy source for the
generation of electrical power (see Nuclear power) and for the power in some
ships (see Nuclear marine propulsion). This is usually accomplished by methods
that involve using heat from the nuclear reaction to power steam turbines.
Components
The key components common to most types of nuclear power plants are:
·
Nuclear fuel
·
Nuclear reactor core
·
Neutron moderator
·
Neutron poison
·
Coolant (often the Neutron Moderator and the Coolant are the same, usually both
purified water)
·
Control rods
·
Reactor vessel
·
Boiler feedwater pump
·
Steam generators (not in BWRs)
·
Steam turbine
·
Electrical generator
·
Condenser
·
Cooling tower (not always required)
·
Radwaste System (a section of the plant handling radioactive waste)
·
Refuelling Floor
·
Spent fuel pool
·
Reactor Protective System (RPS)
·
Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS)
·
Standby Liquid Control System (emergency boron injection, in BWRs only)
·
Containment building
·
Control room
·
Emergency Operations Facility

(including security guards and engineers associated with the plant but possibly
working elsewhere).[citation needed]

Reactor types
Classifications
Nuclear Reactors are classified by several methods; a brief outline of these
classification schemes is provided.
Classification by type of nuclear reaction
-
Nuclear fission. Most reactors, and all commercial ones, are based on nuclear
fission. They generally use uranium and its product plutonium as nuclear fuel,
though a thorium fuel cycle is also possible. This article takes "nuclear
reactor" to mean fission reactor unless otherwise stated. Fission reactors can
be divided roughly into two classes, depending on the energy of the neutrons
that sustain the fission chain reaction:
·
Thermal reactors use slowed or thermal neutrons. Almost all current reactors are
of this type. These contain neutron moderator materials that slow neutrons until
their neutron temperature is thermalised, that is, until their kinetic energy
approaches the average kinetic energy of the surrounding particles. Thermal
neutrons have a far higher cross section (probability) of fissioning the fissile
nuclei uranium-235, plutonium-239, and plutonium-241, and a relatively lower
probability of neutron capture by uranium-238 compared to the faster neutrons
that originally result from fission, allowing use of low-enriched uranium or
even natural uranium fuel. The moderator is often also the coolant, usually
water under high pressure to increase the boiling point. These are surrounded by
reactor vessel, instrumentation to monitor and control the reactor, radiation
shielding, and a containment building.
·
Fast neutron reactors use fast neutrons to cause fission in their fuel. They do
not have a neutron moderator, and use less-moderating coolants. Maintaining a
chain reaction requires the fuel to be more highly enriched in fissile material
(about 20% or more) due to the relatively lower probability of fission versus
capture by U-238. Fast reactors have the potential to produce less transuranic
waste because all actinides are fissionable with fast neutrons,[7] but they are
more difficult to build and more expensive to operate. Overall, fast reactors
are less common than thermal reactors in most applications. Some early power
stations were fast reactors, as are some Russian naval propulsion units.
Construction of prototypes is continuing (see fast breeder or generation IV
reactors).
-
Nuclear fusion. Fusion power is an experimental technology, generally with
hydrogen as fuel. While not currently suitable for power production,
Farnsworth-Hirsch fusors are used to produce neutron radiation.
-
Radioactive decay. Examples include radioisotope thermoelectric generators as
well as other types of atomic batteries, which generate heat and power by
exploiting passive radioactive decay.
Containment building
A containment building, in its most common usage, is a steel or reinforced
concrete structure enclosing a nuclear reactor. It is designed, in any
emergency, to contain the escape of radiation to a maximum pressure in the range
of 60 to 200 psi ( 410 to 1400 kPa). The containment is the final barrier to
radioactive release (part of a nuclear reactor's defence in depth strategy), the
first being the fuel ceramic itself, the second being the metal fuel cladding
tubes, the third being the reactor vessel and coolant system.
The containment building itself is typically an airtight steel structure
enclosing the reactor normally sealed off from the outside atmosphere. The steel
is either free-standing or attached to the concrete missile shield. In the
United States, the design and thickness of the containment and the missile
shield are governed by federal regulations (10 CFR 50.55a).
While the containment plays a critical role in the most severe nuclear reactor
accidents, it is only designed to contain or condense steam in the short term
(for large break accidents) and long term heat removal still must be provided by
other systems. In the Three Mile Island accident the containment pressure
boundary was maintained, but due to insufficient cooling, some time after the
accident, radioactive gas was intentionally let from containment by operators to
prevent over pressurization. This, combined with further failures caused the
release of radioactive gas to atmosphere during the accident.
Types
Containment systems for nuclear power reactors are distinguished by size, shape,
materials used, and suppression systems. The kind of containment used is
determined by the type of reactor, generation of the reactor, and the specific
plant needs.
Suppression systems are critical to safety analysis and greatly affect the size
of containment. Suppression refers to condensing the steam after a major break
has released it from the cooling system. Because decay heat doesn't go away
quickly, there must be some long term method of suppression, but this may simply
be heat exchange with the ambient air on the surface of containment. There are
several common designs, but for safety-analysis purposes containments are
categorized as either "large-dry," "sub-atmospheric," or "ice-condenser."
Some facilities have an advanced containment/protection system
The ultimate safety system inside and outside of every BWR are the numerous
levels of physical shielding that both protect the reactor from the outside
world and protect the outside world from the reactor.
There are five levels of shielding:
1.
The fuel rods inside the reactor pressure vessel are coated in thick Zircalloy
shielding;
2.
The reactor pressure vessel itself is manufactured out of 6 inch thick steel,
with extremely temperature, vibration, and corrosion resistant surgical
stainless steel grade 316L plate on both the inside and outside;
3.
The primary containment structure is made of steel 1 inch thick;
4.
The secondary containment structure is made of steel-reinforced, pre-stressed
concrete 1.2–2.4 meters (4–8 ft) thick.
5.
The reactor building (the shield wall/missile shield) is also made of
steel-reinforced,
pre-stressed concrete 0.3 m to 1 m (1–3 feet) thick.
If every possible measure standing between safe operation and core damage fails,
the containment can be sealed indefinitely, and it will prevent any substantial
release of radiation to the environment from occurring in nearly any
circumstance.
Varieties of containment/protection measures
As illustrated by the descriptions of the systems above, BWRs are quite
divergent in design from PWRs. Unlike the PWR, which has generally followed a
very predictable external containment design (the stereotypical dome atop a
cylinder), BWR containments are varied in external form but their internal
distinctiveness is extremely striking in comparison to the PWR. There are five
major varieties of BWR containments:
·
The "pre-modern" containment (Generation I); spherical in shape, and featuring a
steam drum separator, or an out-of-RPV steam separator, and a heat exchanger for
low pressure steam, this containment is now obsolete, and is not used by any
operative reactor.
·
the Mark I containment, consisting of a rectangular steel-reinforced concrete
building, along with an additional layer of steel-reinforced concrete
surrounding the steel-lined cylindrical drywell and the steel-lined pressure
suppression torus below. The Mark I was the earliest type of containment in wide
use, and many reactors with Mark Is are still in service today. There have been
numerous safety upgrades made over the years to this type of containment,
especially to provide for orderly reduction of containment load caused by
pressure in a compounded limiting fault. The reactor building of the Mark I
generally is in the form of a large rectangular cube of reinforced concrete.
·
the Mark II containment, similar to the Mark I, but omitting a distinct pressure
suppression torus in favour of a cylindrical wetwell below the non-reactor
cavity section of the drywell. Both the wetwell and the drywell have a primary
containment structure of steel as in the Mark I, as well as the Mark I's layers
of steel-reinforced concrete composing the secondary containment between the
outer primary containment structure and the outer wall of the reactor building
proper. The reactor building of the Mark II generally is in the form of a
flat-topped cylinder.
·
the Mark III containment, generally similar in external shape to the
stereotypical PWR, and with some similarities on the inside, at least on a
superficial level. For example, rather than having a slab of concrete that staff
could walk upon while the reactor was not being refuelled covering the top of
the primary containment and the RPV directly underneath, the Mark III takes the
BWR in a more PWRish direction by placing a water pool over this slab.
Additional changes include abstracting the wetwell into a pressure-suppression
pool with a weir wall separating it from the drywell.
·
Advanced containments; the present models of BWR containments for the ABWR and
the ESBWR are harkbacks to the classical Mark I/II style of being quite distinct
from the PWR on the outside as well as the inside, though both reactors
incorporate the Mark III-ish style of having non-safety-related buildings
surrounding or attached to the reactor building, rather than being overtly
distinct from it. These containments are also designed to take far more than
previous containments were, providing advanced safety. In particular, GE regards
these containments as being able to withstand a direct hit by a tornado of Old
Fujitsa Scale 6 with winds of 330+ miles per hour. Such a tornado has never
occurred. They are also designed to withstand seismic accelerations of .2 G, or
nearly 2 meters per second in any direction.
Pressurised water reactors
As the cold war ended in 1991, newer nuclear power plants often have spherical
design while pre-1991 reactors are often “can shaped” with a much more robust
and massive missile shield.
For a pressurised water reactor, the containment also encloses the steam
generators and the pressuriser, and is the entire reactor building. The missile
shield around it is typically a tall cylindrical or domed building designed to
withstand a moderate missile attack.
A large, 4000-7000 kg barrack buster (WMD), should have no problem destroying
the structure and the reactor inside.
PWR containments are typically large (up to 10 times larger than a BWR) because
the containment strategy during the leakage design basis accident entails
providing adequate volume for the steam/air mixture that results from a
loss-of-coolant-accident to expand into, limiting the ultimate pressure (driving
force for leakage) reached in the containment building.
Early designs including Siemens, Westinghouse, and Combustion Engineering had a
mostly can-like shape built with reinforced concrete. As concrete has a very
good compression strength compared to tensile, this is a logical design for the
building materials since the extremely heavy top part of containment exerts a
large downward force that prevents some tensile stress if containment pressure
were to suddenly go up. As reactor designs have evolved, many nearly spherical
containment designs for PWRs have also been constructed. Depending on the
material used, this is the most apparently logical design because a sphere is
the best structure for simply containing a large pressure. Most current PWR
designs involve some combination of the two, with a cylindrical lower part and a
half-spherical top.
Modern designs have also shifted more towards using steel containment
structures. In some cases steel is used to line the inside of the concrete,
which contributes strength from both materials in the hypothetical case that
containment becomes highly pressurized. Yet other newer designs call for both a
steel and concrete containment, notably the AP1000 and the European Pressurized
Reactor plan to use both, which gives missile protection by the outer concrete
and pressurizing ability by the inner steel structure. The AP1000 has planned
vents at the bottom of the concrete structure surrounding the steel structure
under the logic that it would help move air over the steel structure and cool
containment in the event of a major accident (in a similar way to how a cooling
tower works).
If the outward pressure from steam in a limiting accident is the dominant force,
containments tend towards a spherical design, whereas if weight of the structure
is the dominant force, designs tend towards a can design. Modern designs tend
towards a combination. In other words;
“can” shaped containment buildings are much more effectively protected from
explosive blasts than spherical designs which is often designed to prevent
leakage accidents.
Typical examples are:
-
Three Mile Island was an early PWR design by Babcock and Wilcox, and has a “can”
containment design that is common to all of its generation
-
A more detailed image for the 'can' type containment from the French Brennilis
Nuclear Power Plant
-
The twin PWR reactor containments at the Cook Nuclear Plant in Michigan
-
German plants exhibits a nearly completely spherical containment design, which
is very common for German PWRs
-
Modern plants have tended towards a design that is not completely cylindrical or
spherical, like the Clinton Nuclear Generating Station.
The Russian VVER design is mostly the same as Western PWRs in regards to
containment, as it is a PWR itself.
Old RBMK designs, however, did not use containments, which was one of many
technical oversights of the Soviet Union that contributed to the Chernobyl
accident in 1986.
Boiling water reactors
In a BWR, the containment strategy is a bit different. A BWR's containment
consists of a drywell where the reactor and associated cooling equipment is
located and a wetwell. The drywell is much smaller than a PWR containment and
plays a larger role. During the theoretical leakage design basis accident the
reactor coolant flashes to steam in the drywell, pressurizing it rapidly. Vent
pipes or tubes from the drywell direct the steam below the water level
maintained in the wetwell (also known as a torus or suppression pool),
condensing the steam, limiting the pressure ultimately reached. Both the drywell
and the wetwell are enclosed by a secondary containment building, maintained at
a slight sub-atmospheric or negative pressure during normal operation and
refuelling operations. The containment designs are referred to by the names Mark
I (oldest; drywell/torus), Mark II, and Mark III (newest). All three types house
also use the large body of water in the suppression pools to quench steam
released from the reactor system during transients.
From a distance, the BWR design looks very different from PWR designs because
usually a square building is used for containment. Also, because there is only
one loop through the turbines and reactor, and the steam going through the
turbines is also slightly radioactive, the turbine building has to be
considerably shielded as well:
This leads to two buildings of similar construction with the taller one housing
the reactor and the short long one housing the turbine hall and supporting
structures.
Typical examples are:
-
A representative one – Kernkraftwerk Krummel, unit German BWR has containment
around both the turbine and reactor buildings
-
A typical two-unit BWR at the Brunswick Nuclear Generating Station
CANDU plants
CANDU power stations make use of a wider variety of containment designs and
suppression systems than other plant designs. Due to the nature of the core
design, the size of containment for the same power rating is often larger than
for a typical PWR, but many innovations have reduced this requirement.
Many multiunit CANDU stations utilize a water spray equipped vacuum building.
All individual Candu units on site are connected to this Vacuum building by a
very large pipe and as a result require a small containment themselves. The
Vacuum building rapidly condenses any steam from a postulated break, allowing
the unit's pressure to return to subatmospheric conditions. This minimizes any
possible fission product release to the environment.
Additionally, there have been similar designs that use double containment, in
which containment from two units are connected allowing a larger containment
volume in the case of any major incident. This has been pioneered by one Indian
HWR design where a double unit and suppression pool was implemented.
The most recent Candu designs, however, call for a single conventional dry
containment for each unit.
Typical examples are:
-
The Bruce A Generating Station, showing a large vacuum building serving 4
separate units that have a BWR-like shielding around them individually
-
The Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant is two-unit site where the containment system is
autonomous for each unit
-
A single unit of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, showing a slightly
different shape from a typical PWR containment, which is mostly due to the
larger footprint required by the Candu design
Design and testing requirements
Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50, Appendix A, General Design
Criteria (GDC 54-57) or some other design basis provides the basic design
criteria for isolation of lines penetrating the containment wall. Each large
pipe penetrating the containment, such as the steam lines, has isolation valves
on it, configured as allowed by Appendix A; generally two valves. For smaller
lines, one on the inside and one on the outside. For large, high-pressure lines,
space for relief valves and maintenance considerations cause the designers to
install the isolation valves near to where the lines exit containment. In the
event of a leak in the high-pressure piping that carries the reactor coolant,
these valves rapidly close to prevent radioactivity from escaping the
containment. Valves on lines for standby systems penetrating containment are
normally closed. The containment isolation valves may also close on a variety of
other signals such as the containment high pressure experienced during a
high-energy line break (e.g. main steam or feedwater lines). The containment
building serves to contain the steam/resultant pressure, but there is typically
no radiological consequences associated with such a break at a pressurized water
reactor.
During normal operation, the containment is air-tight and access is only through
marine style airlocks. High air temperature and radiation from the core limit
the time, measured in minutes, people can spend inside containment while the
plant is operating at full power. In the event of a worst-case emergency, called
a "design basis accident" in NRC regulations, the containment is designed to
seal off and contain a meltdown. Redundant systems are installed to prevent a
meltdown, but as a matter of policy, one is assumed to occur and thus the
requirement for a containment building. For design purposes, the reactor
vessel's piping is assumed to be breached, causing a "LOCA" (loss Of coolant
accident) where the water in the reactor vessel is released to the atmosphere
inside the containment and flashes into steam. The resulting pressure increase
inside the containment, which is designed to withstand the pressure, triggers
containment sprays ("dousing sprays") to turn on to condense the steam and thus
reduce the pressure. A SCRAM ("neutronic trip") initiates very shortly after the
break occurs. The safety systems close non-essential lines into the air-tight
containment by shutting the isolation valves. Emergency Core Cooling Systems are
quickly turned on to cool the fuel and prevent it from melting. The exact
sequence of events depends on the reactor design.
Containment buildings in the US are subjected to mandatory testing of the
containment and containment isolation provisions under 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix
J. Containment Integrated Leakage Rate Tests (Type "A" tests or CILRTs) are
performed on a 15 year basis. Local Leakage Rate Tests (Type B or Type C
testing, or LLRTs) are performed much more frequently both to identify the
possible leakage in an accident and to locate and fix leakage paths. LLRTs are
performed on containment isolation valves, hatches and other appurtenances
penetrating the containment. A nuclear plant is required by its operating
license to prove containment integrity prior to restarting the reactor after
each shutdown. The requirement can be met with satisfactory local or integrated
test results (or a combination of both when an ILRT is performed).
In 1988, Sandia National Laboratories conducted a test of slamming a jet fighter
into a large concrete block at 481 miles per hour (775 km/h). The airplane left
only a 2.5-inch deep gouge in the concrete. Although the block was constructed
like a containment building missile shield, it was not anchored, etc., the
results were considered indicative. A subsequent study by EPRI, the Electric
Power Research Institute, concluded that air planes, even commercial airliners
did not pose a danger as long as they didn’t carry an explosive WMD.
The Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station was hit directly by Hurricane Andrew
in 1992. Turkey Point has two fossil fuel units and two nuclear units. Over $90
million of damage was done, largely to a water tank and to a smokestack of one
of the fossil-fuelled units on-site, but the containment buildings were
undamaged.
Reactor Protective System
A Reactor Protective System (RPS) is a set of nuclear safety components in a
nuclear power plant designed to safely shutdown the reactor and prevent the
release of radioactive materials. The System can "trip" automatically
(initiating a Scram), or it can be tripped by the operators. Trips occurs when
the parameters meet or exceed the limit setpoint. A trip of the RPS results in
full insertion (by gravity in pressurized water reactors or high-speed injection
in boiling water reactors) of all control rods and shutdown of the reactor.
There are different RPS system and procedures for 1. Pressurized water reactors
and 2 Boiling water reactors (BWR).
There are several RPS systems for the BWR:
1.
Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS)
·
High Pressure Coolant Injection System (HPCI)
·
Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System (RCIC)
·
Automatic Depressurization System (ADS)
·
Low Pressure Core Spray System (LPCS)
·
Low Pressure Coolant Injection System (LPCI)
·
Depressurization Valve System (DPVS)/Passive Containment Cooling System
(PCCS)/Gravity Driven Cooling System (GDCS)
2.
Standby Liquid Control System (SLCS)
The safety systems in action: the Design Basis Accident
The Design Basis Accident (DBA) for a nuclear power plant is the most severe
possible single accident that the designers of the plant and the regulatory
authorities could imagine. It is, also, by definition, the accident the safety
systems of the reactor are designed to respond to successfully, even if it
occurs when the reactor is in its most vulnerable state. The DBA for the BWR
consists of the total rupture of a large coolant pipe in the location that is
considered to place the reactor in the most danger of harm—specifically, for
older BWRs (BWR/1-BWR/6), the DBA consists of a "guillotine break" in the
coolant loop of one of the recirculation jet pumps, which is substantially below
the core waterline (LBLOCA, large break loss of coolant accident) combined with
loss of feedwater to make up for the water boiled in the reactor (LOFW, loss of
proper feedwater), combined with a simultaneous collapse of the regional power
grid, resulting in a loss of power to certain reactor emergency systems (LOOP,
loss of offsite power). The BWR is designed to shrug this accident off without
core damage.
The description of this accident is applicable for the BWR/4, which is the
oldest model of BWR in common service.
The immediate result of such a break (call it time T+0) would be a pressurized
stream of water well above the boiling point shooting out of the broken pipe
into the drywell, which is at atmospheric pressure. As this water stream flashes
into steam, due to the decrease in pressure and that it is above the water
boiling point at normal atmospheric pressure, the pressure sensors within the
drywell will report a pressure increase anomaly within it to the Reactor
Protection System at latest T+0.3. The RPS will interpret this pressure increase
signal, correctly, as the sign of a break in a pipe within the drywell. As a
result, the RPS immediately initiates a full SCRAM, closes the Main Steam
Isolation Valve (isolating the containment building), trips the turbines,
attempts to begin the spinup of RCIC and HPCI, using residual steam, and starts
the diesel pumps for LPCI and CS.
Now let us assume that the power outage hits at T+0.5. The RPS is on a float
uninterruptable power supply, so it continues to function; its sensors, however,
are not, and thus the RPS assumes that they are all detecting emergency
conditions. Within less than a second from power outage, auxiliary batteries and
compressed air supplies are starting the Emergency Diesel Generators. Power will
be restored by T+25 seconds.
Let us return to the reactor core. Due to the closure of the MSIV (complete by
T+2), a wave of backpressure will hit the rapidly depressurizing RPV but this is
immaterial, as the depressurization due to the recirculation line break is so
rapid and complete that no steam voids will probably flash to water. HPCI and
RCIC will fail due to loss of steam pressure in the general depressurization,
but this is again immaterial, as the 2,000 L/min (600 US gal/min) flow rate of
RCIC available after T+5 is insufficient to maintain the water level; nor would
the 19,000 L/min (5,000 US gal/min) flow of HPCI, available at T+10, be enough
to maintain the water level, if it could work without steam. At T+10, the
temperature of the reactor core, at approximately 285 °C (550 °F) at and before
this point, begins to rise as enough coolant has been lost from the core that
voids begin to form in the coolant between the fuel rods and they begin to heat
rapidly. By T+12 seconds from the accident start, fuel rod uncovery begins. At
approximately T+18 areas in the rods have reached 540 °C (1000 °F). Some relief
comes at T+20 or so, as the negative temperature coefficient and the negative
void coefficient slows the rate of temperature increase. T+25 sees power
restored; however, LPCI and CS will not be online until T+40.
At T+40, core temperature is at 650 °C (1200 °F) and rising steadily; CS and
LPCI kick in and begins deluging the steam above the core, and then the core
itself. First, a large amount of steam still trapped above and within the core
has to be knocked down first, or the water will be flashed to steam prior to it
hitting the rods. This happens after a few seconds, as the approximately 200,000
L/min (3,300 L/s, 52,500 US gal/min, 875 US gal/s) of water these systems
release begin to cool first the top of the core, with LPCI deluging the fuel
rods, and CS suppressing the generated steam until at approximately T+100
seconds, all of the fuel is now subject to deluge and the last remaining
hot-spots at the bottom of the core are now being cooled. The peak temperature
that was attained was 900 °C (1650 °F) (well below the maximum of 1200 °C (2200
°F) established by the NRC) at the bottom of the core, which was the last hot
spot to be affected by the water deluge.
The core is cooled rapidly and completely, and following cooling to a reasonable
temperature, below that consistent with the generation of steam, CS is shut down
and LPCI is decreased in volume to a level consistent with maintenance of a
steady-state temperature among the fuel rods, which will drop over a period of
days due to the decrease in fission-product decay heat within the core.
After a few days of LPCI, decay heat will have sufficiently abated to the point
that defueling of the reactor is able to commence with a degree of caution.
Following defueling, LPCI can be shut down. A long period of physical repairs
will be necessary to repair the broken recirculation loop; overhaul the ECCS;
diesel pumps; and diesel generators; drain the drywell; fully inspect all
reactor systems, bring non-conformal systems up to spec, replace old and worn
parts, etc. At the same time, different personnel from the licensee working hand
in hand with the NRC will evaluate what the immediate cause of the break was;
search for what event led to the immediate cause of the break (the root causes
of the accident); and then to analyze the root causes and take corrective
actions based on the root causes and immediate causes discovered. This is
followed by a period to generally reflect and post-mortem the accident, discuss
what procedures worked, what procedures didn't, and if it all happened again,
what could have been done better, and what could be done to ensure it doesn't
happen again; and to record lessons learned to propagate them to other BWR
licensees. When this is accomplished, the reactor can be refueled, resume
operations, and begin producing power once more.
The ABWR and ESBWR, the most recent models of the BWR, are not vulnerable to
anything like this incident in the first place, as they have no liquid
penetrations (pipes) lower than several feet above the waterline of the core,
and thus, the reactor pressure vessel holds in water much like a deep swimming
pool in the event of a feedwater line break or a steam line break. The BWR 5s
and 6s have additional tolerance, deeper water levels, and much faster emergency
system reaction times. Fuel rod uncovery will briefly take place, but maximum
temperature will only reach 600 °C (1,100 °F), far below the NRC safety limit.
It must be noted that no incident even approaching the DBA or even a LBLOCA in
severity has ever occurred with a BWR. There have been minor incidents involving
the ECCS, but in these circumstances it has performed at or beyond expectations.
The most severe incident that ever occurred with a BWR was in 1975 due to a fire
caused by extremely flammable urethane foam installed in the place of
fireproofing materials at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant; for a short
time, the control room's monitoring equipment was cut off from the reactor, but
the reactor shut down successfully, and, as of 2009, is still producing power
for the Tennessee Valley Authority, having sustained no damage to systems within
the containment. The fire had nothing to do with the design of the BWR - it
could have occurred in any power plant, and the lessons learned from that
incident resulted in the creation of a separate backup control station,
compartmentalization of the power plant into fire zones and clearly documented
sets of equipment which would be available to shut down the reactor plant and
maintain it in a safe condition in the event of a worst case fire in any one
fire zone. These changes were retrofitted into every existing US and most
Western nuclear power plants and built in to new plants from that point forth.
Further studies
I have not been able to research all aspects regarding what potential effects
the activation of the Reactor Protective System will have in case of an attack,
a single source blast destroying the reactor.
What will happen if the plant workers manage to activate the RPS system and
successfully shut the reactor down before it is destroyed? Will it severely
hinder the potential damage caused (leakage)? What is the effect of a blast that
destroys an on-line reactor vs. an off-line reactor?

Consequences of a nuclear power plant assault
Radioactive contamination
Radioactive contamination,
also called radiological contamination,
is the uncontrolled distribution of radioactive material in a given environment.
Surface contamination
Surface contamination is usually expressed in units of radioactivity per unit of
area. For SI, this is becquerels per square meter (or Bq/m²). Surface
contamination may either be fixed or removable. In the case of fixed
contamination, the radioactive material cannot by definition be spread, but it
is still measurable.
In practice there is no such thing as zero radioactivity. Not only is the entire
world constantly bombarded by cosmic rays, but every living creature on earth
contains significant quantities of carbon-14 and most (including humans) contain
significant quantities of potassium-40. These tiny levels of radiation are not
any more harmful than sunlight, but just as excessive quantities of sunlight can
be dangerous, so too can excessive levels of radiation.
Low level contamination
The hazards to people and the environment from radioactive contamination depend
on the nature of the radioactive contaminant, the level of contamination, and
the extent of the spread of contamination. Low levels of radioactive
contamination pose little risk, but can still be detected by radiation
instrumentation. In the case of low-level contamination by isotopes with a short
half-life, the best course of action may be to simply allow the material to
naturally decay. Longer-lived isotopes should be cleaned up and properly
disposed of, because even a very low level of radiation can be life-threatening
when in long exposure to it.
High level contamination
High levels of contamination may pose major risks to people and the environment.
People can be exposed to potentially lethal radiation levels, both externally
and internally, from the spread of contamination following an accident (or a
deliberate initiation) involving large quantities of radioactive material.
Radioactive iodine is a common fission product; it was a major component of the
radiation released from the Chernobyl disaster, leading to nine fatal cases of
pediatric thyroid cancer and hypothyroidism.
Ionizing radiation
The biological effects of radiation are thought of in terms of their effects on
living cells. For low levels of radiation, the biological effects are so small
they may not be detected in epidemiological studies. The body repairs many types
of radiation and chemical damage. Biological effects of radiation on living
cells may result in a variety of outcomes, including:
·
Cells experience DNA damage and are able to detect and repair the damage.
·
Cells experience DNA damage and are unable to repair the damage. These cells may
go through the process of programmed cell death, or apoptosis, thus eliminating
the potential genetic damage from the larger tissue.
·
Cells experience a nonlethal DNA mutation that is passed on to subsequent cell
divisions. This mutation may contribute to the formation of a cancer.
·
Cells experience "Irreparable DNA Damage." Low level ionizing radiation may
induce "Irreparable DNA damage" (leading to replicational and transcriptional
errors needed for neoplasia or may trigger viral interactions) leading to
pre-mature aging and cancer.
Understanding radiation
Radioactive decay/half life
It is estimated that 90% of the current exclusion zone can be utilized again
within 200 years due to the constant radioactive decay. Radioactive decay
is the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus spontaneously loses energy by
emitting ionizing particles and radiation. This decay, or loss of energy,
results in an atom of one type, called the parent nuclide transforming to
an atom of a different type, named the daughter nuclide. For example: a
carbon-14 atom (the "parent") emits radiation and transforms to a nitrogen-14
atom (the "daughter"). This is a stochastic process on the atomic level, in that
it is impossible to predict when a given atom will decay, but given a large
number of similar atoms the decay rate, on average, is predictable.
A more commonly used parameter is the half-life. Given a sample of a particular
radionuclide, the half-life is the time taken for half the radionuclide's atoms
to decay.
Means of contamination
Radioactive contamination can enter the body through ingestion, inhalation,
absorption, or injection. For this reason, it is important to use personal
protective equipment when working with radioactive materials. Radioactive
contamination may also be ingested as the result of eating contaminated plants
and animals or drinking contaminated water or milk from exposed animals.
Following a major contamination incident, all potential pathways of internal
exposure should be considered.
Long term effects - radiation levels
Ionizing radiation includes both particle radiation and high energy
electromagnetic radiation.
The associations between ionizing radiation exposure and the development of
cancer are mostly based on populations exposed to relatively high levels of
ionizing radiation, such as Japanese atomic bomb survivors, and recipients of
selected diagnostic or therapeutic medical procedures.
Cancers associated with high dose exposure include leukemia, thyroid, breast,
bladder, colon, liver, lung, esophagus, ovarian, multiple myeloma, and stomach
cancers.
It is also suggested a possible association between ionizing radiation exposure
and prostate, nasal cavity/sinuses, pharyngeal and laryngeal, and pancreatic
cancer.
The period of time between radiation exposure and the detection of cancer is
known as the latent period. Those cancers that may develop as a result of
radiation exposure are indistinguishable from those that occur naturally or as a
result of exposure to other chemical carcinogens.
Although radiation may cause cancer at high doses and high dose rates, public
health data regarding lower levels of exposure, below about 1,000 mrem (10 mSv),
are harder to interpret. To assess the health impacts of lower radiation doses,
researchers rely on models of the process by which radiation causes cancer;
several models have emerged which predict differing levels of risk.
Limiting exposure
There are four standard ways to limit exposure:
Time: For people who are exposed to radiation in addition to natural background
radiation, limiting or minimizing the exposure time will reduce the dose from
the radiation source.
Distance: Radiation intensity decreases sharply with distance, according to an
inverse square law. Air attenuates alpha and beta radiation.
Shielding: Barriers of lead, concrete, or water give effective protection from
radiation formed of energetic particles such as gamma rays and neutrons. Some
radioactive materials are stored or handled underwater or by remote control in
rooms constructed of thick concrete or lined with lead. There are special
plastic shields which stop beta particles and air will stop alpha particles. The
effectiveness of a material in shielding radiation is determined by its halve
value thicknesses, the thickness of material that reduces the radiation by half.
This value is a function of the material itself and the energy and type of
ionizing radiation.
Containment: Radioactive materials are confined in the smallest possible space
and kept out of the environment. Radioactive isotopes for medical use, for
example, are dispensed in closed handling facilities, while nuclear reactors
operate within closed systems with multiple barriers which keep the radioactive
materials contained. Rooms have a reduced air pressure so that any leaks occur
into the room and not out of it.
In a nuclear war, an effective fallout shelter reduces human exposure at least
1,000 times. Other civil defence measures can help reduce exposure of
populations by reducing ingestion of isotopes and occupational exposure during
war time. One of these available measures could be the use of potassium iodide
(KI) tablets which effectively block the uptake of radioactive iodine into the
human thyroid gland.
The Chernobyl attack (accident)
Two widely studied instances of large-scale exposure to high doses of ionizing
radiation are: atomic bomb survivors in 1945; and emergency workers responding
to the 1986 Chernobyl attack.
Longer term effects of the Chernobyl attack have also been studied. There is a
clear link (see the UNSCEAR 2000 Report, Volume 2: Effects) between the
Chernobyl attack and the unusually large number, approximately 1,800, of thyroid
cancers reported in contaminated areas, mostly in children. These were fatal in
some cases. Other health effects of the Chernobyl attack are subject to current
debate.
The attack resulted in a severe release of radioactivity following a massive
power excursion that destroyed the reactor. Most fatalities from the attack were
caused by radiation poisoning.
Further explosions and the resulting fire sent a plume of highly radioactive
fallout into the atmosphere and over an extensive geographical area, including
the nearby town of Pripyat. Four hundred times more fallout was released than
had been by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
The plume drifted over large parts of the western Soviet Union, Eastern Europe,
Western Europe, and Northern Europe. Rain contaminated with radioactive material
fell as far away as Ireland. Large areas in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia were
badly contaminated, resulting in the evacuation and resettlement of over 336,000
people. According to official post-Soviet data, about 60% of the radioactive
fallout landed in Belarus.
The countries of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus have been burdened with the
continuing and substantial decontamination and health care costs of the
Chernobyl accident. It is difficult to accurately quantify the number of deaths
caused by the events at Chernobyl, as over time it becomes harder to determine
whether a death has been caused by exposure to radiation.
The attack
On 26 April 1986 at 1:23 a.m., reactor 4 suffered a massive, catastrophic power
excursion due to “human error”. This caused a steam explosion, followed by a
second (chemical, not nuclear) explosion from the ignition of generated hydrogen
mixed with air, which tore the top from the reactor and its building and exposed
the reactor core. This dispersed large amounts of radioactive particulate and
gaseous debris containing fission products including cesium-137, strontium-90,
and other highly radioactive reactor waste products. The open core also allowed
atmospheric oxygen to contact the super-hot core containing 1,700 tonnes of
combustible graphite moderator. The burning graphite moderator increased the
emission of radioactive particles, carried by the smoke. The reactor was not
contained by any kind of hard containment vessel (unlike all Western plants,
Soviet reactors often did not have them). Radioactive particles were carried by
wind across international borders.
Slow evacuation
The nearby city of Pripyat wasn’t fully evacuated until a week after the
disaster.
Only after radiation levels set off alarms at the Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant
in Sweden did the Soviet Union admit that an attack had occurred, but
authorities attempted to conceal the scale of the disaster. To evacuate the city
of Pripyat, the following warning message was reported on local radio: "An
accident has occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. One of the atomic
reactors has been damaged. Aid will be given to those affected and a committee
of government inquiry has been set up." This message gave the false impression
that any damage or radiation was localized.
Exclusion zone
There is a 30 km Exclusion Zone around Chernobyl where officially nobody is
allowed to live, but people do.
It is estimated that the land can be utilized for industrial purpose within 60 –
100 years and it can eventually be utilized for farming or any other type of
agricultural industry within 200 years.
The Exclusion Zone is now so lush with wildlife and greenery that the Ukrainian
government designated it a wildlife sanctuary in 2007, and at 488.7 km2
it is one of the largest wildlife sanctuaries in Europe.
According to a 2005 U.N. report, wildlife has returned despite radiation levels
that are presently 10 to 100 times higher than normal background radiation.
Although they were significantly higher soon after the attack, the levels have
fallen because of radioactive decay.

The Doel Nuclear Power Station is one of the two nuclear power plants in
Belgium. The plant lies on the bank of the Scheldt, near the village of Doel in
the Flemish province of East Flanders. The Belgian energy corporation Electrabel

Sweden has ten commercial reactors at three different locations (Forsmark,
Ringhals and Oskarshamn). There are no longer any plans to phase out nuclear
power in Sweden. The current centre-right government wants to make it possible
to replace the current rectors in the future. If the leftwing parties win the
elections in September 2010, it will however not accept new reactors replacing
the current ones, but the reactors will not shut down either.
The ten reactors produce about 45% of the country's electricity. The nation's
largest power station, Ringhals Nuclear Power Plant, has four reactors and
generates about a fifth of Sweden's annual electricity consumption.
Sweden used to have a nuclear phase-out policy, aiming to end nuclear power
generation in Sweden by 2010. On 5 February 2009, the Swedish Government
announced an agreement allowing for the replacement of existing reactors,
effectively ending the phase-out policy.

United Kingdom
Nuclear Power in the United Kingdom
generates a fifth of the country's electricity (19.26% in 2004). The Nuclear
Installations Inspectorate oversee all nuclear power installations and, as of
2006, the United Kingdom operates 24 nuclear reactors. The country also uses
nuclear reprocessing plants, such as Sellafield.
A number of stations have been closed, and others are scheduled to follow. The
two remaining Magnox nuclear stations and four of the seven AGR nuclear stations
are currently planned to be closed by 2015. This is a cause behind the UK's
forecast 'energy gap', though secondary to the reduction in coal generating
capacity. However the oldest AGR nuclear power station was recently
life-extended by ten years, and it is likely many of the others can be
life-extended, significantly reducing the energy gap.
All UK nuclear installations in the UK are overseen by the Nuclear Installations
Inspectorate.
Although the Government of the United Kingdom has recently given the go-ahead
for a new generation of nuclear power stations to be built, the Scottish
Government, with the backing of the Scottish Parliament, has made clear that
Scotland will have no new nuclear power stations and is aiming instead for a
non-nuclear future. As of 2007, there have been some significant developments
towards nuclear fusion being implemented to solve the predicted energy crisis,
most significantly and recently the drawing-up of plans to build one fusion
power station, that will 'supply power to the National Grid within 20 years.'
The JET facility at Culham, Oxfordshire indicates that Britain has both the
industry and workforce for nuclear fusion.
In January 2009, British Energy was bought for approximately £12 billion by EDF
Energy (a subsidiary of Electricite de France (EdF) SA)

10 new nuclear sites
In November 2009, the Government has identified ten nuclear sites which could
accommodate future reactors
·
Bradwell in Essex
·
Braystones
·
Kirksanton
·
Sellafield in Cumbria
·
Hartlepool
·
Heysham in Lancashire
·
Hinkley Point in Somerset
·
Oldbury in Gloucestershire
·
Sizewell in Suffolk
·
Wylfa in North Wales. (However, the Welsh Assembly Government remains opposed to
new nuclear plants in Wales despite the approval of Wylfa as a potential site)
Most of these sites already have a station, the only new sites are Braystones
and Kirksanton.
The term radiological bomb (dirty bomb) refers to a radiological weapon which
combines radioactive material with conventional explosives. Though a
radiological dispersal device (RDD) would be designed to disperse radioactive
material over a large area, a bomb that uses conventional explosives would
likely have more immediate lethal effect than the radioactive material. At
levels created from most probable sources, not enough radiation would be present
to cause severe illness or death. A test explosion and subsequent calculations
done by the United States Department of Energy found that assuming nothing is
done to clean up the affected area and everyone stays in the affected area for
one year, the radiation exposure would be "fairly high", but not fatal.
Recent analysis of the Chernobyl disaster fallout confirms this, showing
that the effect on many people in the surrounding area, although not those in
close proximity, was almost negligible.
Since a dirty bomb is unlikely to cause many deaths, many do not consider this
to be a weapon of mass destruction. Its purpose would be to create
psychological, not physical, harm through mass panic, and terror. For this
reason dirty bombs are sometimes called "weapons of mass disruption".
Additionally, containment and decontamination of thousands of victims, as well
as decontamination of the affected area will require considerable time and
expense, rendering areas partly unusable and causing devastating economic
damage.
The term has also been used historically to refer to certain types of nuclear
weapons. Due to the inefficiency of early nuclear weapons, only a small amount
of the nuclear material would be consumed during the explosion. “Little Boy” had
an efficiency of only 1.4%. “Fat Man”, which used a different design and a
different fissile material, had an efficiency of 14%. Thus, they tended to
disperse large amounts of unused fissile material, and the fission products,
which are on average much more dangerous, in the form of nuclear fallout. During
the 1950s, there was considerable debate over whether "clean" bombs could be
produced and these were often contrasted with "dirty" bombs. "Clean" bombs were
often a stated goal and scientists and administrators said that high-efficiency
nuclear weapon design could create explosions which generated almost all of
their energy in the form of nuclear fusion, which does not create harmful
fission products.
But the Castle Bravo accident of 1954, in which a thermonuclear weapon produced
a large amount of fallout which was dispersed among human populations, suggested
that this was not what was actually being used in modern thermonuclear weapons,
which derive around half of their yield from a final fission stage. While some
proposed producing "clean" weapons, other theorists noted that one could make a
nuclear weapon intentionally "dirty" by "salting" it with a material, which
would generate large amounts of long-lasting fallout when irradiated by the
weapon core. These are known as salted bombs; a specific subtype often noted is
a “cobalt bomb”.
Practical use in history
There have only ever been two cases of caesium-containing bombs, and neither was
detonated. Both involved the global Jihad against Russia. The first attempt of
radiological terror was carried out in November 1995 by a group of Chechen
Jihadists, who buried a caesium-137 source wrapped in explosives at the
Izmaylovsky Park in Moscow. A Chechen rebel leader alerted the media, the bomb
was never activated, and the incident amounted to a mere publicity stunt. In
December 1998, a second attempt was announced by the Chechen Security Service,
who discovered a container filled with radioactive materials attached to an
explosive mine.
There have been several other cases where a few organizations including al-Qaeda
planned to detonate a radiological bomb in the US. In 2002, an al-Qaeda cell
operative; José Padilla aka. Abdulla al-Muhajir, was arrested after his cell
commander, Abu Zubaydah, revealed sensitive information during interrogation.
He revealed that his cell was close to constructing a radiological bomb.
Although Padilla had not obtained radioactive material or explosives at the time
of arrest, law enforcement authorities uncovered evidence that he was on
reconnaissance for usable radioactive material and possible locations for
detonation. There are approximately 5 similar stories involving al-Qaeda but
also two European nationalist cells (on Ukrainian and one European-American).
PCCTS, Knights Templar and radiological weapons
The PCCTS, Knights Templar intend to include radiological weapons in our arsenal
as they are quite easy to create and relatively easy to acquire for those
individuals with basic knowledge. However, we do not intend to detonate
radiological weapons before the capitulation deadline given to the criminal
multiculturalist regimes of Western Europe which is; Jan 1st, 2020.
Preparations to acquire enough caesium and other radiological components should
however begin immediately so that we are well positioned to effectuate attacks
after the deadline. Our radiological attacks (RDDs) will cause minimal to no
civilian casualties but will create devastating ideological, physiological and
economical damage on the targeted cultural Marxist/multiculturalist regime.
Protection when handling radiological material
Let there be no doubt; the cost and complexity of using protective systems
needed to protect the handler from radiation is not realistic. Our goal is
therefore to use protective systems (hazmat suits, improvised and relatively
inexpensive lead containers) that allow the builder/transporter of the bomb to
survive long enough in order to successfully deploy and detonate it. Ensure that
you have drugs against radiation sickness available prior to initiation of
operation. These drugs will treat damaged organs, reduce symptoms and manage
pain. Decontamination is the removal of as much external radioactive particles
as possible. Removing clothing and shoes eliminates about 90 percent of external
contamination. Gently washing with water and soap removes additional radiation
particles from the skin. Decontamination prevents further distribution of
radioactive materials and lowers the risk of internal contamination from
inhalation, ingestion or open wounds.
Treatment for internal contamination includes treatments to reduce damage to
internal organs caused by radioactive particles. These treatments include the
following:
·
Potassium iodide is a nonradioactive form of iodine. Because iodine is essential
for proper thyroid function, the thyroid becomes a "destination" for iodine in
the body. If you have internal contamination with radioactive iodine
(radioiodine), your thyroid will absorb radioiodine just as it would other forms
of iodine. Treatment with potassium iodide may fill "vacancies" in the thyroid
and prevent absorption of radioiodine. The radioiodine is eventually cleared
from the body in urine.
·
Prussian blue, a type of dye, binds to particles of radioactive elements known
as cesium and thallium. The radioactive particles are then excreted in feces.
This treatment speeds up the elimination of the radioactive particles and
reduces the amount of radiation cells may absorb.
·
Diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) is a substance that binds to metals.
DTPA binds to particles of the radioactive elements plutonium, americium and
curium. The radioactive particles pass out of the body in urine, thereby
reducing the amount of radiation absorbed.
Supportive treatment
If you have radiation sickness, you should take additional medications or
interventions to treat:
·
Bacterial infections
·
Headache
·
Fever
·
Diarrhea
·
Nausea and vomiting
·
Dehydration
Long term exposure of radiation may damage your bone marrow. However, it is
unlikely that any Justiciar Knight will expose himself to radiation over a
longer period, unless he is seeking radiological sources over a period of
several months, so a scenario where you experience damage to your bone marrow is
not realistic. In a context where this is a problem, a protein called
granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, which promotes the growth of white blood
cells, may counter the effect of radiation sickness on bone marrow. Treatment
with this protein-based medication, which includes filgrastim (Neupogen) and
pegfilgrastim (Neulasta), may increase white blood cell production and help
prevent subsequent infections.
End-of-life preparations
A Justiciar Knight who has absorbed large doses of radiation (8 Gy or greater)
has little chance of recovery and will die. Depending of the severity of
illness, death can occur within two days or two to three weeks. Justiciar
Knights with a lethal radiation dose should ensure that he has medications to
control pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. He should also receive
psychological encouragement from fellow Knights if possible.
Hazmat suit and lead containers
Be extremely careful when handling radiological material. One example we can
learn from is the radiological accident occurring in Goiânia, Brazil, between
September 1987 and March 1988: Two metal scavengers broke into an abandoned
radiotherapy clinic and removed a teletherapy source capsule containing powdered
caesium-137 with an activity of 50 T Bq. They brought it home to one of the men
to take it apart and sell it as scrap metal. Later that day both men were
showing acute signs of radiation illness with vomiting and one of the men had a
swollen hand and diarrhoea. A few days later one of the men punctured the 1 mm
thick window of the capsule, allowing the caesium chloride powder to leak out
and when realizing the powder glowed blue in the dark, brought it back home to
his family and friends to show it off. After 2 weeks of spread by contact
contamination causing an increasing number of adverse health effects, the
correct diagnosis of acute radiation sickness was made at a hospital and proper
precautions could be put into procedure. By this time 249 people were
contaminated, 151 exhibited both external and internal contamination of which 20
people were seriously ill and 5 people died.
The Goiânia incident to some extent predicts the contamination pattern when an
explosion spreads radioactive material, but also how fatal even very small
amounts of ingested radioactive powder can be. The goal must be to acquire and
use powdered alpha emitting material (or equivalently potent material), that if
ingested can pose a serious health risk. This was also the case of deceased
former KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko, who either ate, drank or inhaled
polonium-210. "Smoky bombs" based on alpha emitters might easily be just as
dangerous as beta or gamma emitting dirty bombs.
Justiciar Knight Commanders or Operatives should take the required security
measures and at least provide and use secure lead containers. I have not yet
researched portable, anti-radiological containers, but it is likely we will have
to design and build them ourselves as we need to properly add camouflaging
effects to the item for transportation purposes. The containers, perhaps
designed as briefcases, must be used in order to prevent alerting your
surroundings. When approaching a source, you should equip your anti-radiological
hazmat suit and secure the material in your container. When you are at a safe
distance you must then un-equip your suit (and transport it in a separate bag)
in order to avoid raising red flags from your surroundings.
Obtaining material for a radiological bomb
When evaluating sources for the acquirement of radiological material a good
measurement should be to focus on material with an activity potential of at
least more than 5 T Bq. The latest government security overview published in
2010 estimates that more than 2000 tons of radiological material remains
unsecured around the world in the strangest of places. Material lies unsecured
in thousands of locations such as Russian light houses, abandoned radiotherapy
clinics, national industrial or military dumping grounds, abandoned plutonium
mines, abandoned military vessels, sunken military vessels (material available
to divers) etc.
In order for us to construct and detonate a radiological bomb, we must acquire
radioactive material by stealing it or buying it through legal or illegal
channels. Possible RDD material could come from the millions of radioactive
sources used worldwide in the industry, for medical purposes and in academic
applications mainly for research. Of these sources, only nine reactor produced
isotopes stand out as being suitable for radiological terror:
·
Americium-241 (widely used in smoke detectors, 1 milligram per)
·
Californium-252
·
Caesium-137 (cesium)
·
Cobalt-60
·
Iridium-192
·
Plutonium-238, 239
·
Polonium-210
·
Radium-226
·
Strontium-90
Of these materials, radium-226 and polonium-210 are considered the least potent.
Of these sources the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has estimated that
within the US, approximately one source is lost, abandoned or stolen every day
of the year. Within the European Union the annual estimate is 70. There exists
thousands of such "orphan" sources scattered throughout the world, but of those
reported lost, no more than an estimated 20 percent are classified as a
potential high security concern if used in a RDD. Especially Russia is believed
to house thousands of orphan sources, which were lost following the collapse of
the Soviet Union. A large but unknown number of these sources probably belong to
our Russian nationalist brothers or sympathisers or the Russian mafia networks.
Noteworthy are the Russian very strong beta emitting strontium-90 sources used
as radioisotope thermoelectric generators for beacons in lighthouses in remote
areas. These were recently (2009) secured by Russian authorities but many were
stolen or “lost” prior to this campaign. It is likely that such emitters are
still widely available in ex-Soviet republics.
In December 2001, three Georgian woodcutters stumbled over such a power
generator and dragged it back to their camp site to use it as a heat source.
Within hours they suffered from acute radiation sickness and sought hospital
treatment. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) later stated that it
contained an amount of strontium equivalent to pose a huge risk if ever used
with a RDD.
It should be considered relatively easy to acquire at least one of these
materials if you have a minimum of information in regards to appropriate
sources. It is therefore likely that any Justiciar Knight cell attempting to
acquire radiological material will be successful. We, the PCCTS, Knights Templar
or any allied liberation organization is likely to obtain radioactive material
through the "black market" or by going directly to the sources ourselves. Due to
the nature of our hierarchical structure it is unlikely that we can afford
purchasing it from criminal organization as the prize would simply be too steep.
In any case, the black market remains as one viable option for acquirement.
There has been a steady increase in illicit trafficking of radioactive sources
from 1996 to 2004. However, these recorded trafficking incidents mainly refer to
rediscovered orphan sources without any sign of the criminal activity being
linked to patriotic liberation movements.
Challenges and considerations for the Justiciar Knights cell
In addition to task consisting of obtaining usable radioactive material, there
are several requirements or considerations we have to evaluate:
1.
The source should be "sufficiently" radioactive to create direct radiological
damage at the explosion or at least to perform societal damage or disruption.
2.
The source should be transportable with enough shielding to protect the carrier,
but not so much that it will be too heavy to manoeuvre. Loading enough material
in a truck together with a small to medium fertilizer bomb would seem to be the
most pragmatical approach.
3.
The radiological material must be sufficiently dispersed during detonation to
effectively contaminate the area around the explosion. Creating a solid
dispersal strategy is required which should involve the inclusion of f example
designed hollow/soaked projectiles made from metal/steel which are included as
“carriers”. Metal shrapnel, or perhaps specifically designed steel balls with
small internal chambers (containing radioactive material), either designed to be
dispersed at impact location or specifically designed metal balls/shrapnel for
aerial dispersal from detonation site to impact site. If designed correctly, the
material inside the ball will be dispersed in relation to the velocity of the
projectile vs. design size and air pressure. If you cover the bomb with
thousands of these metal carrier shrapnel/balls, depending on detonation site,
it may contaminate an area up to 3 square kilometres. If you add enough of these
balls, it will result in a scenario where it will literally “rain radioactive
balls” over a big portion of the city contributing to the ideological,
psychological and economical devastation.
4.
Suitable locations: Western European capitals preferably close to or on top of
the most popular inner city tourist attractions/parliament building/city hall or
any other location of symbolic/economical value to cause maximum ideological,
psychological and economical damage. Just imagine how much ideological,
psychological and economical damage it would cause the criminal French cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist regime if they had to abandon the Eiffel tower and
create a 1 km containment zone around it for several decades to come. The total
sum of damage converted into economical losses for the regime would amount to as
much as hundreds of billions of Euros and would perhaps cause a chain reaction
leading to the fall of the regime.
An example of a best case scenario is when a Justiciar Knight cell (1-3
individuals) possessing a source of highly radioactive material, e.g. a
strontium-90 thermal generator, with the ability to create an incident
comparable to the Chernobyl accident. The detonation of a radiological bomb
using such a source would be optimal and would not prove to be too difficult or
unrealistic. These light house thermal generators were until recently readily
available in Russia and are still available in ex-Soviet republics. We would
assemble the bomb in a safe location using protective gear and transport the
bomb by truck to the detonation location. The Justiciar Knights involved in this
operation would be subject to severe radiation exposure during assembly and
transportation. However, the exposure would not be fatal immediately and the
Justiciar Knights involved would be able to function properly with the provided
meds until detonation. During transportation, the device has to be sealed or at
least covered in a large lead capsule/cover in order to prevent too much
radiation to the Knights transporting it. It is however worth noting; shielding
the source effectively would make it almost impossible to transport and a lot
less effective if detonated. The Justiciar Knights involved in the assembly
and/or transport (1-2) are therefore sacrificing themselves and will die as
martyrs for the cause.
Considering an alternative dispersal approach
Instead of or addition to a blast, for the intention of effective dispersal, it
should be considered to simply use a gasoline/rubber mix as the primary
dispersal method. In this context, a Justiciar Knight has to go to the back of
the truck and remove the lead containment shell (the protective measures),
ensuring that all the radiological material is unshielded. He will then have to
ignite the 5-20 barrels of gasoline/rubber mix either via remote detonation or
by dead man switch. At that point he will have no chance of long term survival
due to severe radiation poisoning. It would therefore be most efficient if he
used a remote detonation and established a sniper post close to the fire, and
thus effectively preventing the fire corps from putting out the fire for up to a
period of 60 minutes (until he is neutralised by a system protector snipers).
The fire will generate significant radioactive fumes (radioactive particles
carried by the fumes) and the resulting fume-clouds will act as the “dispersal
device” transporting highly radioactive particles up to several hundred
kilometres away and would be likely to contaminate neighbouring countries and
thus causing an international crisis.
Estimating the consequences of a Knights Templar RDD attack
The fear of radiation is not always logical. Although the exposure might be
minimal, many people find radiation exposure especially frightening because it
is something they cannot see or feel, and it therefore becomes an unknown source
of danger. The Western European multiculturalist regimes will have great
challenges in dealing with public fear after a RDD attack. This public fear of
radiation also plays a big role in why the costs of an RDD impact on a major
metropolitan area might be equal to or even larger than that of the 9/11
attacks. Assuming the radiation levels are not too high and the area does not
need to be abandoned such as the town of Pripyat near the Chernobyl reactor, an
expensive and time consuming cleanup procedure will begin which will cost the
regime anything from 500 million up to 2000 billion Euros. This will mainly
consist of tearing down highly contaminated buildings, digging up contaminated
soil/asphalt/concrete and quickly applying sticky substances to remaining
surfaces to adhere the radioactive particles before radioactivity penetrates the
building materials. These procedures are the current state of the art for
radioactive contamination cleanup, but many experts say that a complete cleanup
of external surfaces in an urban area to current decontamination limits would be
impossible. As such, it is likely that the regime will have no choice but to
create a containment zone on a smaller scale than that of Chernobyl. This policy
of abandonment will result in a scenario where up to 1 square kilometre in an
urban environment is contained/restricted for up to 100 years. The
infrastructure “lost” for this period might amount to as much as 1000 billion
Euros. In addition there will be massive loss of working hours as the working
force in the specified sector is “relocated”. Even if the regime manages to
cleanup parts of the area there will still be devastating psychological and
economical impact. Because even if they manage to reduce the radiation levels to
an acceptable level, there will be residual public fear of the site including
unwillingness to conduct business as usual in the area. Tourist traffic is
likely not to resume for at least several decades.
Manipulative proxy attacks
Involves all devastating attacks against Muslim groups with the purpose of
provoking a collective response or manipulate individual Muslims to choose the
path of Jihad.
See other chapter.
Issues relating to Overseer tasks such as insignias, commendations and uniforms
communicate our sovereignty and contribute to establish the consensus that we in
fact represent a realistic independent political alternative from the current
Western European multiculturalist hegemony. We want to communicate that we are
not merely tools of the ongoing European civil war but that we are and indeed
represent a realistic and independent future political government to the
existing EUSSR regimes. As such, these topics are included under
Communication and Logistics. A
Justiciar Knight uniform with insignias, badges and commendations communicates
quite effectively our accomplishments (ribbon by ribbon), our unwavering
determination and our responsibility to carry the struggle forward with specific
goals for the future, this for everyone to see during a trial. Our Justiciar
Knight tombstone communicates our cause message after the individual Justiciar
Knight has perished. As such, all tasks and areas relating to the Overseer is a
part of our deliberate communication strategy and must be regarded as such.
A
Justiciar Knight is not only a valorous resistance fighter, a one man army; he
is a one man marketing agency as well.
We are selling the promise of a better future for our people and our children.
Resistance fighters are in many ways sales representatives. They are marketers
and ambassadors to not only their specific organisations and movements but to
the future we wish to create. As such, it is important that all resistance
fighters learn the basics of sales and marketing. Failing to understand basic
primary concepts of sales and marketing will significantly limit the impact and
efficiency of the message we wish to send.
When we blow up a building full of category A and B traitors it is not only for
the purpose of killing. An important part of the operation is to force awareness
of our movement and our ideology. The ideology we represent is the product we
want to sell to the European peoples.
It is essential for all cultural conservative resistance fighters to understand
that we are in the middle of a war of perceptions. Our objective is to portray
our enemies in the worst possible light - as cultural Marxist traitors who
wishes to sell their own peoples into Muslim slavery. They, on the other hand,
have the exact opposite objective. They are doing everything to tell the people
that they have no political opposition whatsoever and that the occasional attack
is only committed by backwater, brain damaged and inbred freaks. They are
effectively “selling” the perception that we are nothing more than a bunch of
pedophile and criminal scum of society, who has somehow escaped from the local
insane asylum. They ALWAYS illustrate their definition of heroic icons of
society using all factors to improve their looks and appeal. And they ALWAYS
illustrate the nationalist resistance fighters in the worst possible light,
without makeup, in bad lighting, without editing, and often in unfortunate
postures. And these often appalling photos correlate with the above description.
This is not coincidental but a deliberate aspect of their psychological warfare
against us. They deliberately portray us as the anti-thesis of the ideal person
so that we achieve a minimum of impact when it comes to appealing to the average
European. We must counter this psychological warfare campaign by making it
harder for them to use this weapon against us.
We must learn the basics of sales and marketing and apply this knowledge to our
own benefit. We must learn to incorporate marketing/sales aspects in our
operations. How can we do this?
In marketing
Sexy projections of females sell and inspire, in peacetime and during war. There
will primarily be men taking most of the risks so it should be a priority to
appeal to a broadest selection of European males. Resistance leaders/cell
commanders or individual cell operatives must prioritise to arrange and book a
professional photo session prior to operation for one or all involved.
Resistance leaders of larger networks should also arrange photo sessions with
female patriotic models to use in online marketing/recruitment campaigns. It is
essential that enough resources are invested into marketing material in order to
create a professional and appealing image of our struggle. It is essential that
cell commanders and/or cell operatives budget at least a portion of their
operational budget to photo sessions and remember to delete all other
unfortunate photos from the past. This is to prevent the media/police from
getting access to them and exploit them for their own propaganda. The police
usually “leak” “retarded looking” photos to the press after raiding the cells
apartment after an operation. By removing and deleting all “negative” photos,
and by making available the professional, photo shopped photos prior to the
operation; we make their job significantly harder.
General marketing tips
-
Use modern, stylish mainstream logos and material that will appeal to a maximum
of targets (poor material that looks unappealing will not benefit our cause)
-
Use professional graphic designers (poor graphic/material will not benefit our
cause)
-
All models should be styled to look their best (a person who looks like a
caveman (ref: Osama) will have little appeal)
-
Use professional makeup artists and use make up on both female and male models.
Yes, this sounds gay, but looking “attractive” will significantly benefit the
impact of our message as it will act as a force multiplier
-
Use professional editing (photoshop) on all digital photos (You can hire a
programmer on f example: www.scriptlance.com to photoshop your pictures for less
than 50 Euro).
Preparations required before a photo shoot
As a Justiciar Knight you will go into history as one of the most influential
individuals of your time. So you need to look your absolute best and ensure that
you produce quality marketing material prior to operation.
Prepare for the photo session;
-
Take a few hours in a solarium to look fresher.
-
Train hard (work out) at least 7 days prior to photo session
-
Cut your hair shave
-
Visit a male salon if possible and apply light makeup. Yes, I know – this might
sound repulsive to big badass warriors like us, but we must look our best for
the shoot
-
Use your best clothing – you can f example bring 3 different sets of clothing to
the shot location – 1. Dress, tie etc. 2. Casual wear 3. Sporty wear 4.
Militaristic wear (obviously, you can’t bring your guns or anything indicating
that you are a resistance fighter). You should always order the photo session in
a foreign country to avoid that the personnel alerts authorities. Always pay in
cash and do not sign any receipt with your own name.
End note: Be very careful to have military shots lying around. Be very careful
if you decide to use pictures with guns. People who see these photos might alert
the authorities. Carefully consider the use of symbols as it might backfire.
Cross of the martyrs is fine (St. George) but avoid any symbol associated with
Nazism.
Battlefield Wikipedia - an important tool to market resistance
fighters/resistance movements and our world view
Members of the European Resistance Movements on all 8 political fronts must
prioritise contributions in Wikipedia as a primary method for presenting our
world view, our political doctrines and our definition of history.
As for members, sympathizers or anonymous contributors of the European armed
resistance:
You may create a Wikipedia description prior to operation and make it
“indirectly” available to sympathisers. If no Wikipedia profile has been created
for the resistance fighter, any sympathiser should contribute to create one.
Furthermore, we must create an article that has the potential to indirectly
appeal to anyone reviewing it. If you choose to create one yourself prior to an
operation you obviously can’t include ANY incriminating information. Details
concerning the operation, goals, motivations and interviews and/or other info
must be added by sympathisers after an operation. It is essential to describe
our 70 year goal and specific goals for phase 1, 2 and 3 of the European civil
war. 1-2 photos from the photo shoot should be included in the Wikipedia entry.
Keep in mind that our enemies (cultural Marxists, humanists) may try to use
Wikipedia to ridicule or discredit these resistance fighters. They may also
attempt to sabotage existing Wikipedia entries. All sympathisers should
therefore keep an eye out for these wiki attacks.
Wikipedia should not be underestimated as a primary source for contributing to
create “established truths”. We must strive to present our views in the most
favorable way while at the same time discredit our enemies. It is an arena we
should focus on.
When
an operative of any of the European Resistance Movements manages to deal a
newsworthy blow to the regime (a blow big enough to penetrate censorship), the
natural response from the multiculturalist regime will be to protect its
ideology from any and all ideological damage. This is usually done by labeling
the enemy as a madman or discrediting him as a victim in some twisted way
(character assassination). They will usually claim the individual was not a
cultural conservative resistance fighter but rather a pathetic victim who was
bullied or discriminated against by someone at some point in his past. We see
that the multiculturalists use this very efficient psy. war method again and
again when they face a lethal terrorist attack of any sort.
No, no, he was not a Jihadist. He was just a misunderstood individual, a
psychologically unstable victim abused/misguided by someone etc.
According to them, there is only a small core of evil Muslim fanatics in the
world sitting in caves somewhere and are recruiting through the internet
(through wireless satellite broadband) “vulnerable angry individuals”,
victimised by society in the past, as suicide bombers. They will also claim that
any European resistance fighter is just as pathetic, that all are “poor white
trash psychotics, with a medieval mentality, who are making a fuss because we
failed in the materialistic hierarchy”. According to their logic there are just
a handful of us trying to recruit vulnerable individuals, when in fact the truth
is anything but what they are trying to project.
Now, normally you would think the MSM or the government is just incredible naive
for claiming this. But in fact, this deliberate strategy is everything but
naive. It’s a highly sophisticated psychological warfare countermeasure designed
to limit any and all ideological damage which might have been caused by the
attack. Because you see, if the multiculturalist regime can prove without a
reasonable doubt that the attacking force (usually a single individual cell) is
a random irrelevant madman and not in fact a threatening political adversary
they will successfully achieve a position where they do not have to explain to
the public why said individual would want to cause ideological damage to them.
It is a deliberate strategy to avoid revealing the truth, and the attackers
political motives. Admitting that the attacker has some valid points would
contribute to undermine the system they have chosen to protect. This strategy of
ridiculing their political enemies also prevents other nationalists from
pursuing the same course.
So, in any situation where an attacking force is defeated (and we will all, most
likely, be defeated in phase 1) they will cling to this strategy of discredit
and ridicule. Alternatively they will use censorship to silence the story to
death as is the common weapon of choice in France. A countermeasure would be for
the resistance fighter to actually survive the operation and attest to his
political agenda. That his objective was in fact part of a larger, long term
strategy to cause ideological damage to the EUSSR/USASSR multiculturalist regime
as part of a 100 year plan to completely seize power through military means and
replace the system. The problem, however, with allowing capture is that the
regime will use all means to break the subject. They are not allowed to torture
so they will have the Muslims do it for them (by placing the resistance fighter
together with Muslims). They may say; we can’t torture you so we will let the
Mujahedeen in our prison systems rape/torture you until you reject your beliefs.
If you do not reject them after that we will let them kill you. It would be an
overwhelming success for them if they managed to make a resistance fighter
reject his political beliefs.
Countering the misinformation campaign
Likely counter attacks (propaganda/ideological counter attacks) should be
expected. The classical approach is to first character assassinate every
individual involved in the operation branding them as freaks: racists, fascists,
Nazis, paedophiles, nut-cases etc., secondary to claim that we are representing
a monster-ideology. They will claim that we represent an ideology that would
stigmatise and de-legitimise us in the eyes of the people. The multiculturalists
will claim that we are right wing extremists who seek to form a
totalitarian/un-democratic racist/fascist/Nazi society/structure based on hate.
Obviously this is as far from the truth as imaginable. Therefore, we must be
prepared to explain to the people at any given time and in a few words what kind
of society they can expect when we successfully gain power.
What kind of society/political platform are we seeking to build/restore. What
does a cultural conservative/nationalist/monocultural society constitute?
The closest similarity you will find and a good comparison is especially the
Japanese and South Korean societies and to a certain degree the Taiwanese model.
These three models contain a majority of all the political principles we seek to
restore. They represent many of the European classical conservative principles
of the 1950’s (culturally) with modern twists; in other words a monocultural,
scientifically advanced, economically progressive society with an exceptional
level of welfare but which will not accept multiculturalism or Cultural Marxist
principles. Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are today the most peaceful societies
due to their monocultural model. Crime is more or less non-existent and you can
travel freely everywhere without the constant fear of getting raped, ravaged,
robbed or killed. They have embraced many positive aspects of globalism but have
rejected many of the negative aspects. The fundaments of the patriarchal
structures and family values are very strong in these three countries as the
wave of feminism lacked several catalyst components (which made it a lot less
potent) due to the rejection of multiculturalist/cultural Marxist thought during
the 60s and 70s. Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are today our role models for the
conservative movement. They are peaceful and anti-imperialistic just like we
have aspirations to be.
When listening to Marxist propaganda, the typical claims are all based on lies.
It is a falsehood to claim that the cultural conservatives in Europe are
imperialistic and violent by nature. We do NOT want to copy the failed
aggressive totalitarian fascist dictatorships like Nazi Germany, far from it. We
hate everything Nazi Germany stood for, in fact we view the current
EUSSR/Multiculturalist regimes of Western Europe as totalitarian Nazi regimes.
We condemn imperialistic thought and we condemn genocide and violence in
general. Our current struggle is based on a pre-emptive struggle (self defence).
We have no territorial claims that will violate any sovereign European or other
civilised country, the exception being our Middle Eastern foreign policy plan.
This involves a Crusade, or to use a more modern phrase; an anti-Jihad campaign,
preventing the continuation of the genocides against the Maronite, Assyrian,
Coptic and other Middle Eastern Christian peoples and restoring parts of
Anatolia under Greek and Armenian rule once again. Launching crusades to counter
ongoing Jihads (there are 20+ Jihad fronts around the world) is acceptable, but
under no circumstances shall we attack or annex territory belonging to our
fellow Christian brothers and sisters, or our Buddhist or Hindu allies. Hindus
and Buddhists are considered brothers in our common fight against Jihadi
imperialism, atrocities and genocides.
Any cultural conservative Christian country/state declaring war against another
Christian state (such as the former Serbian-Croatian war) will be regarded as
the enemy of the future
cultural conservative
political alliance (European Federation) and will be punished severely.
An Overseer, Master Overseer or the Grand Master Overseer (for phase 1) is a
volunteer who serves the PCCTS, Knights Templar as a civillian administrator,
care-taker and logistical officer.
The Overseer’s primary task will be to handle certain practical, logistical or
administrative tasks for the
PCCTS
and for any fallen Christian Martyrs.
Primary tasks include:
·
Running an informational website/announcement portal
·
Contribute to provide proper legal defence for any apprehended Justiciar Knight
after a failed or successful operation
·
Award commendations to Justiciar Knights
·
Provide the military uniform with the appropriate insignia for any apprehended
Justiciar Knights
·
Provide the Justiciar Knight tombstone for any fallen members
·
Finance the above activities by donations and gifts etc.
Creating the organisation
The Grand Master Overseer cannot have any ”official” ties with an ”illegal
liberarion/military/terrorist organisation”. The name of the organisation should
therefore not be PCCTS, Knights Templar but something completely objective such
as f. example:
Headquarters for Commemorating Martyrs of the European Resistance Movement
Establish and administrate one or several
PCCTS, Knights Templar websites – communication portal (Justiciar Knight logs)
The Website will be an informational (educational) site which in no way must
violate European law. Its primary function is to forward information about
historical Christian European knights such as Martel/Sobieski and current fallen
Justiciar Knights (Commemorating Martyrs). The site will present the
organisations principles, codes, insignia, commendations, rules of conduct and
describe political goals (objectively). It is essential that all information on
the website is in compliance with European law.
The website must also contain an area where incarcerated Justiciar Knights can
publish national, pan-European or international announcements (these will be
available for all to see, including the press etc). An overseer must contact
incarcerated Justiciar Knights from time to time and forward any post any
announcement on the website if requested. As such, the website functions as a
communication channel to the world.
Due to the nature of the PCCTS, Knights Templar, no Overseer is allowed to have
any ties to operational cell operatives or commanders (and vice versa) as it may
incriminate them. However, Knights who are already incarcerated (non-operational
cell members) pose no potential legal challenges and announcements they make may
be forwarded as long as it doesn’t include information which might incriminate
the Overseer or the Overseer organisation (direct threats etc).
The announcement pages should be categorised by country. There will be a
separate announcement page for pan-European/international announcements.
Rules for incarcerated Justiciar Knights posting announcements:
F example a French Justiciar Knight can make an announcement and forward it to
the national or pan-European Overseer if he feels the message will contribute to
our cause or if it can improve the situation for himself or fellow Knights in
prison.
A Justiciar Knight making a political announcement must obviously follow our
principles and avoid issues that may be controversial within our military order.
Personal views should be avoided if they violate our primary principles.
The Overseer organisation must contribute to the future election of a
non-operational, pan-European Grand Master Knight
Any individual Justiciar Knight may be elected as a national or pan-European
spokesperson at any given time. The individual will be elected based on f
example rhetorical skills, social/military status/fame/accomplishments or other
essential skills or virtues. As the number of incarcerated Knights increase in
the future it will be appropriate to elect an official pan-European spokesperson
or a so called non-operational, pan-European Grand Master Knight. Candidates
from France, the UK or Germany will be favoured in any election due to the
importance of these countries. The candidate must be fluent in English. The
leading incarcerated Justiciar Knight in any country will be appointed as the
non-operational, National Grand Master Knight and will have the right to cast
one vote when electing a non-operational, pan-European (intln) Grand Master
Knight. The National Grand Master Knight from France, the UK and Germany has a
double vote in elections. A non-operational Grand Master Knight (may be
appointed in P1) must not be confused with the future “operational”
National/pan-European Grand Master Knight Commander (P2/P3).
Any Overseer/Master Overseer/Grand Master Overseer must be approved by the
National Grand Master Knight.
A Master Overseer/the Grand Master Overseer may take the initiative to develop
the Overseer organisation into a “political wing” in the future. It is essential
that a future political wing is set up and organised in a manner which ensures
that it does not violate European law.
An appropriate name would f. example be: The Conservative Revolutionary Movement
or The pan-European Conservative Revolutionary Movement.
Identifying
PCCTS, Knights Templar,
Justiciar Knights
The most important task of the
Grand Master Overseer (Master Overseer) will be to identify old and new
fallen/incarcerated
Justiciar Knights. In other words, the
Overseer will basically have to research, evaluate and approve new individuals.
New candidates are added into the registry and will be supported by the
organisation. This can be done by reviewing/researching media events or by
receiving tips (suggestions) via email or web. All fallen Martyrs, under
consideration, must follow the primary guidelines of the PCCTS, Knights Templar
in order to be approved for official knighthood.
Evaluation committee, Phase 2
Decide in accordance with other Overseers which new individuals are to be
knighted. Processing applications/researching candidates.
Finding suppliers of commendations, uniforms and tombstone
Future production and design
For future design of medals and insignia, the Overseer should consider using
international suppliers as it will be the most cost efficient production option:
Supplier market places such as http://www.alibaba.com/ or similar should be used
for this purpose.
More information about commendations and uniforms is covered in another chapter.
A future Overseer organisation must localise a tombstone carver/supplier
A future Overseer organisation should provide and subsidise a standard edition
of the Justiciar Knight tombstone.
A European tombstone carver, preferably specialised in traditional tombstone
architecture, is likely to charge more than 5000-10 000 Euro in order to create
the stone. As such, producers in low cost countries should be contacted for the
task of creating one or multiple stones in the future. Generally, countries with
vast experience in traditional tombstone ornaments would be Southern European
countries f. example Malta or Cyprus. Perhaps Armenia and even China or India
should be considered as well. Creating unique accessories (such as
commendations, medals, tombstones etc.) in India or China will allow us to save
up to 80% of estimated cost. I realise that this might sound hypocritical
considering the fact that cultural conservatives in general oppose Indian or
Chinese membership in WTO and the fact that we generally prefer in sourcing as
many industries as possible. However, conserving our funds is a central part of
our struggle, especially in phase 1 and 2.
Contacting the Justiciar Knights next of kin to present commendations and
tombstone
A representative from the Overseer organisation should contact the fallen
Justiciar Knights next of kin in order to present the earned commendations and
the tombstone. There is a chance that some or all of the family members of the
Justiciar Knight opposed him ideologically or perhaps are just too scared to
accept the commendations and tombstone as they fear the potential stigma
attached. They may also fear that the Justiciar Knight tombstone will be
destroyed by the regime, Marxist extremists or Muslims. An agreement/
understanding with the next of kin is therefore required before the tombstone is
produced. Post-mortem commendations such as the medals and the tombstone are
mostly symbols of honour but are also indirect political statements. The
Overseer should therefore be mentally prepared for rejection by next of kin.
Overseer guidelines for awarding commendations to non-JK patriotic resistance
fighters and civilian contributors (right wing intellectuals etc.)
Future Overseer leadership must consider and decide whether awarding certain
commendations to other individuals than Justiciar Knights might be beneficial to
the cause.
There are a minimum of requirements that must apply for the candidate:
The candidate must acknowledge the PCCTS, Knights Templar as a just liberation
movement working for the interests of all Europeans and must agree with at least
all non-violent principles of the PCCTS.
The candidate must oppose
all hate-ideologies; communism, cultural Marxism/multiculturalism, Islam and
national socialism.
The candidate must not be a Nazi-sympathiser or support white supremacy
ideologies as those are considered hate ideologies.
If it is revealed, in retrospect, that an individual propagate or defend hate
ideologies, the commendations given to that individual will be nullified and the
individuals name will be deleted from the registry.
A candidate of certain civilian commendations may belong to any denomination of
Christendom and can also be a Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, Zoroastrian, agnostic and
atheist.
Finance
Aqcuiring funds for the organisation via donations from individuals or
organisations throughout Europe are a top priority. Also, there are several
individuals throughout Europe who testaments their wealth to organisations who
work for anti immigration/Islamisation. An overseer should research European
countries by contacting the Bar organisation in given countries and claim these
contributions with the purpose of financing any practical or administrative
tasks (honourary tombstones, commendations, uniforms or website costs etc).
Receipts and other documentation will have to be presented.
An Overseer should not profit from these activities.
Requirements to become the
Grand Master
Overseer
The individual needs a track record of non-military cultural/Christian
conservative (anti-Jihad) activism. The individual has to be a Christian
European and thus must support Judeo Christian traditions. In other words, the
individual has to oppose the Islamisation of Europe/European multiculturalism.
The individual must also support the PCCTS,
Knights Templar
territorial claims in the Balkans and in the Middle East. The individual must
not have a track record involving racism or support for Racial Conservatism.
Who will approve the first
Grand Master
Overseer?
The individual has to claim the position. This will be done by creation and
administration of a website, following the given guidelines. Furthermore, he has
to pay the costs for the first commendation and tombstone for the first martyred
Justiciar Knight. As soon this is done, and if he fulfils all the requirements,
he may indirectly announce himself as the official Grand Master Overseer of the
Knights Templar and can and should take the initiative to develop the
non-military organisation according to guidelines. It should be noted, that due
to legal limitations concerning the support for ”so called terrorism” he cannot
openly support the activities of any fallen Knight. He must use deceitful
approaches, speak with ”two tongues” in order to ensure that he doesn’t
incriminate himself in any way.
Why the position of a
Grand Master
Overseer has not been filled prior to first spectacular attack?
Obviously, this would have implicated and incriminated the individual.
Therefore, the position will only be available after the first spectacular
attack.
It
is essential and extremely important to honour living heroes of our struggle and
to ensure that fallen martyrs are commemorated. How can we expect to re-found
the ancient European traditions of Martyrdom if no one is honouring our living
and fallen heroes? The Muslim world is a good example. Honouring and
commemorating Jihadists have been institutionalised for centuries and even
involves economic compensation to the family of each Martyr. Iraq, Iran and
several countries have willingly contributed with millions of dollars to ”Martyr
Commemoration funds”. Every single Jihadi martyr who dies in the struggle
against Christendom or the Jews (and historically, many other wars) have
received financial support (given to the Martyrs family) and other
commendations. We must do the same.
Learning from the Muslims
The following text describes one of these commemoration groups:
The organisation calls itself, the Committee for the Glorification of Martyrs of
the Global Islamic Movement (Setad Pasdasht Shohadaye Nehzat Jahani Islam).
Spokesman for the group Mohammad Mohammadi (Mohammad-Ali Samadi, according to
Iran Focus) said: "Every six months we sign up volunteers. Now we have 55,000 of
them. Then we choose the volunteers and divide them up into battalions."
Mohammadi said his latest battalion numbered 500, with 30% of these being women.
He claims his group is independent of the Islamist regime, but anything which is
public in Iran is never independent.
The volunteers can choose either to blow up Salman Rushdie, or blow up Israel or
"the infidels occupying Iraq" (America), a sign that the group exists more for
confidence-building among Iranian young people, who currently suffer high
unemployment, rather than realistic military strategy.
Meghdad Hamedinia. a 27-year old suicide recruit said: "I want to defend Islam,
so I signed up for all three. All the American presidents are rascals. I'll give
my life for Islam."
All Justiciar Knights (self appointed in P1, approved by the Grand Master
Overseer in P2/3) will have the opportunity to earn the following commendations:
As long as an “Overseer organisation” has not yet been created (in P1), it is up
to each Justiciar Knight to follow the specific commendation regulations and
guidelines in regards to taking credit for specific efforts. Until an Overseer
organisation has been established (P1), it is up to each and every Justiciar
Knight cell commander to provide his cell operatives with the commendations
earned. These commendations should not be acquired until after a successful
operation has been executed. Just ensure that you have the necessary order
information available and your lawyer (or friend/family member) will be able to
order the commendations for you.
Justiciar Knight Military Orders
A Justiciar Knight will become a member of one of the three Orders depending on
the outcome of his operation:

Name: Masonic Knight of Malta Breast Jewel
Name: Red Cross of Constantine Breast Jewel
Medals for Exceptional Military and Civilian Service
A medal is awarded to a person as a form of recognition for organisational,
intellectual or military achievements.
Earning a medal should not be restricted and limited to Justiciar Knights but to
all individuals who are (and have been) committed to the struggle of liberating
Europe from Marxism and from our cultural Marxist regimes. This will involve
everyone who contributes as armed resistance fighters and civilians who have
done an exceptional effort.
A short history of military medals and decorations
The first known instance of a medal being awarded comes from the historian
Josephus who, writing long after the event, accounts that in the fourth century
BCE the High Priest Jonathan led the Hebrews in aid of Alexander the Great, and
that in return for this, Alexander "sent to Jonathan... honourary awards, as a
golden button, which it is custom to give the king's kinsmen." Another early
example of medals is found used by the Roman Republic, which adopted an
elaborate system of military awards that included medals called phalerae to be
issued to soldiers and units for a variety of achievements.
Medals made to commemorate specific events, including military battles and
victories, continued to be commissioned and awarded in the Roman fashion, and
from this grew the practice of pinning such military medals onto one's uniform.
Many military decorations are often mistakenly referred to and confused with
true medals. 'Military decoration' is an all-encompassing term that includes
medals, but is generally applied to the other types of awards that do not meet
the qualification of a true medal. The technical difference is that these other
decorations take on a different shape, such as a cross or star, other than the
generally circular one that is required. This difference does not necessarily
imply any lessened honour for military decorations, as the Victoria Cross
demonstrates, which is technically a decoration, as it is the highest British
award for bravery in war.
An order tends to be the most elaborate of military decorations, typically
awarded for distinguished services to a nation or cause. Orders are
distinguished from other forms of decoration in that they often imply membership
in an organisation or association of others that have received the same award.
This practice originates with the mediaeval fraternities of knighthood, some of
which even exists into the present and are still awarded to persons. While most
of these modern orders no longer have roots in true knighthood, they still tend
to carry over the terms of their historic counterparts, and terms such as
knight, commander, officer, members and so on are still commonly found as ranks.
A military order may use a medal as its insignia, however, most tend to have a
unique badge or a type of plaque specifically designed for an emblem.
The following commendations – decorations, medals are awarded to Justiciar
Knights and civilians involved in the efforts to liberate Europe from cultural
Marxism.
The three primary distinguished military commendations of the PCCTS, Knights
Templar are:
·
Distinguished Destroyer of cultural Marxism (DCM) commendation

Temporary adoption of readily available commendations/accessories
Considering the fact that there has not yet been established a European Overseer
organisation, we have not been able to focus our resources on uniform and
commendation (medal/ribbon) design and production. As such, we are left with no
choice but to temporarily adopt readily available existing designs from regular
armies. Considering the fact that the most readily available commendations are
from the US army we will have to adopt some of their military accessories until
we have the capacity, organisational structure and funding to design our own.
Hopefully, a well funded civilian Overseer organisation will be established by
2020 which will allow us access to authentic and original uniforms with
decorations specifically designed for our accomplishments.
Until we are in a situation where we have access to authentic and original
medals we will have no choice but to restrict/limit our full size decorations to
illustrative ribbons for mounting in ribbon racks.
Ribbon bar mounted on a ribbon rack
Ribbon bars
are small decorations that are usually worn by military, police, and fire
service personnel or by civilians. Ribbon bars are mainly used when wearing
either full decoration, or when wearing medals is considered inappropriate or
impractical. Each military force has its own rules on what ribbons are worn in
which order of precedence. Some awards are "ribbon only", having no associated
medal. Ribbon bars are worn in rows on the chest. The collection of bars is
collectively referred to as a "ribbon rack".
Design
The ribbon bar for a particular medal usually matches the ribbon on the medal.
For example, the ribbon for the Purple Heart medal is purple with a white bar
down the two side edges, and its ribbon bar is similarly purple with a white bar
at each end.
Construction
Ribbon bars are today mounted on what is known as a pin backing (three bars per
row), which can then be pushed through the fabric of a uniform shirt and
secured, with fasteners, on the inside edge. Ribbons may either be individually
secured, and then lined up on the shirt, or mass-mounted to a single fastener.
Previously, ribbons were sown to individual garments; individual militaries
authorised the ribbons for wear on certain uniforms only; for example, on dress
shirts but not on working clothing.
Display
Ribbon bars are normally not worn on utility or combat uniforms, but instead for
office or dress occasions. Some countries (such as Cuba) maintain a standard
practice of wearing full ribbon bars on combat utility clothing. In other
militaries, this is strictly prohibited as the wear of ribbons on combat gear
could make higher ranking officers more noticeable as targets, and also negate
the effect of camouflage.

Wear and Appearance of Military or Civilian Insignia
Medals
are traditionally awarded in standard size and miniature size together with a
diploma.
Miniature medals are replicas of regular size medals, made to a scale of
one-half the size of the original. The only exception is the Justiciar Knight
Order and two other breast jewel commendation, for which there is no miniature.
Full size medals are usually too large to be worn. As we do not have access to
our original designs we wear ribbons instead.

The general public is used to seeing police or military personnel in uniform.
There are sports uniforms, religious robes, academic gowns, and once there were
formal black jackets and striped trousers for stockbrokers and members of the
financial community. The original Knights Templar also had its modes of attire,
though rarely paraded in public but donned at Lodge meetings to the extent that
one of the military officers had the duty “to see the brethren properly
clothed”.
A uniform is a set of standard
clothing usually worn by members of an organisation while participating in that
organisation's activity. Modern uniforms are worn by armed forces and
paramilitary organisations such as police, emergency services, security guards,
in some workplaces and schools and by inmates in prisons.
In the case of uniforms worn by military personnel or civilian officials, there
are generally several kinds of uniforms:
-
Battledress, khakis (typical camouflaged war uniforms);
-
Dress uniform: worn at ceremonies, official receptions, and other special
occasions; medals are typically worn.
-
Everyday work uniform, where earned medals are typically replaced by ribbon
bars;
Justiciar Knights and the PCCTS, Knights Templar uniform
Due to the clandestine nature of our military order and operations during phase
1, Justiciar Knights do not normally use typical battle dresses (battle
uniforms). Instead we adopt our enemy’s uniforms (usually police “battle
uniforms/armour”) and copy their exact insignias and IDs in order to cause
confusion and sow hesitation. By doing this we increase each Justiciar Knights
chances to effectuate his operation successfully before he is apprehended, is
killed or can escape.
Furthermore, even if we where to use our own battle uniforms, wearing a
camouflage suit in an urban environment would be pointless. Also, using a battle
uniform in an urban area (or anywhere else) would only raise suspicion and alert
our enemies and thus nullify the element of surprise.
The uniform of the PCCTS, Knights Templar is therefore a dress uniform which
will be used during special occasions. Our dress uniform during phase 1 will be
used for the sole purpose of representing the authority of our military order
and tribunal during trial. The likely destiny of any Justiciar Knight in phase 1
is either death through martyrdom or apprehension. In the latter scenario we use
our uniform with decorations during our trial to show clearly that we do not
acknowledge the illegal regimes operating in Western Europe. After all, the
PCCTS, Knights Templar is the highest political and military authority in
Western Europe. During trial, we clearly demonstrate this by demanding a full
capitulation from the criminal multiculturalist regime to our patriotic forces.
Obviously, this is not likely to happen during phase 1. Nevertheless, it is
still an important formality required from all Justiciar Knights in phase 1.
End note: you may see a picture of the Knights Templar dress uniform at the last
pages of the compendium.
PCCTS, Knights Templar ranks - insignias
A Justiciar Knight Commander wears epaulettes (shoulder boards) with a gold
cross on red background and a gold aiguillette. The use of an aiguillette is
reserved for officers only (commander and grand master).
A Justiciar Knight Operative wears epaulettes with a gold cross on purple
background.

Note: apprehended individual(s) may gain a tactical advantage during an
investigation or during a trial using incorrect rank distinction. An apprehended
Justiciar Knight may therefore pose as a commander or vice verca to confuse and
fool the system protectors (police) if somehow desired.

USMC dress blues jacket
The uniform jacket is an elaborate uniform worn for formal or ceremonial
occasions. Its basic shape and form is a copy of older European versions and
dates back to the 18th century British and French army uniforms. The PCCTS,
Knights Templar has adopted the stripped version of the USMC dress blues jacket
due to the classic design and availability. When you order the jacket, you strip
it of accoutrements (buttons and insignias) and apply our own.
The US size may be followed by a letter designation S = Short, R = Regular, L =
Long.

A USMC dress blues jacket can easily be bought on eBay or in one of many stores:
http://www.usmcblues.com/blues.html
Cost varies from 45 USD for a used jacket to 250 USD for a new set. You do not
need the hat, the belt and the pants so you obviously do not have to order a
full set.
USMC version Sam Browne belt (black)
The Sam Browne belt is a wide
belt, usually leather, which is supported by a strap going diagonally over the
right shoulder. It is most often seen as part of a military or police uniform.
Origins
Sam Browne was a British army officer serving in India in the 19th century. In
those days officers always carried a sword into battle. It hung from a little
strap on the waistbelt, called a 'frog'. However, the scabbard tended to slide
around a lot when they charged the enemy, meaning that it had to be steadied
with the left hand. During the mutiny of 1857 in India, Captain Sam Browne
received two sword cuts, one on the left knee and one which severed his left arm
at the shoulder. He survived the injuries but without a left hand, he found that
he was now unable to control his sword. He came up with the idea of wearing a
second belt which went over his right shoulder and held the scabbard in just the
spot he wanted. Other officers began wearing the extra belt themselves, and soon
it became part of the standard uniform.
Usage
Due to its former use as equipment for carrying a sword, it is traditionally
only worn by those to whom a sword would historically have been issued, i.e.,
officers. Throughout most of its modern history, however, its main function has
been to carry a pistol, and it was found to be particularly useful with the
heavy pistols typically used during the first part of the 20th century.
The Sam Browne belt is today used by many national armies, the British and US
army being the most notable. In addition it is used by many police forces around
the world.
Safety
Sam Browne belts have been criticised as unsafe during a close physical
altercation. An assailant can easily grab hold of the belt and throw the wearer
off balance, throw the wearer to the ground, or even choke the wearer by ripping
one end of the belt from its mooring and quickly wrapping it around the neck.
Some criminals became so adept at using a police officer's Sam Browne belt
against him that police departments began ordering it discontinued as part of
patrol gear. It remained, however, as a ceremonial/decorative piece of gear.
The USMC version Sam Browne belt can be ordered here (or in several other
stores):
http://www.uniforms-4u.com/p-usmc-sam-brown-belt-6219.aspx
EBay usually offers cheaper versions. Price varies from 80-150 USD.
Gold aiguillette on Justiciar Knight Uniform
A gold aiguillette is a feature on the Justiciar Knight officer uniform (for
commanders and grand masters only).
An aiguillette is an ornamental braided cord most often worn on uniforms where
it will denote an honour. Originally, the word "aiguillette" referred to the
lacing used to fasten plate armour together. As such, a knot or loop arrangement
was used which sometimes hung from the shoulder.
Aiguillettes should not be confused with lanyards, which are cords also worn
from the shoulder (or around the neck), but do not have the pointed aiguillette
tips (see Aiguillette (ornament)) and are usually of fiber rather than gold or
silver wire, and often not braided.
A series of legends has developed about the origin of aiguillettes. One account
relates that when certain European troops behaved reprehensibly on the field of
battle, their commander decided to hang certain of them. The troops asked to be
given a chance to redeem themselves and started wearing a rope and spike about
their shoulders with the promise that if they ever behaved badly again, they
were ready to be hanged on the spot. It is further related that these troops
covered themselves with glory thereafter.

Select the British officer version preferably. Ebay usually offers cheaper
versions. Price varies from 40-150 USD. Choose mylar over nylon (I personally
prefer mylar over bullion as well).

Knights Templar epaulettes (shoulder boards)
Epaulettes
are a type of ornamental shoulder piece or decoration used as insignia of rank
by armed forces and other organizations. Colloquially, the word has also come to
refer to some types of shoulder strap.
Epaulettes are fastened to the shoulder by a shoulder strap, a small strap
parallel to the shoulder seam and the button near the collar, or by laces on the
underside of the epaulette passing through holes in the shoulder of the coat.
The placement of the epaulette, its color and the length and diameter of its
bullion fringe are used to signify the wearer's rank. At the join of the fringe
and the shoulderpiece is often a metal piece in the form of a crescent. Although
originally worn in the field, epaulettes are more common today on dress or
ceremonial uniforms. Shoulder straps are also found on civilian clothing that
derives from military uniforms such as the trench coat, the safari jacket and
other garments.
The PCCTS, Knights Templar
use hand embroidered epaulettes on our uniform with golden bullion threads on
red velvet background (commander or purple velvet background (operative). A
golden templar cross is embroidered in the middle of a frame. There is black
fabric on the back with Velcro (hook and loop).
One part of Velcro is sewn on the back of the patch and the other part is free.
Length: 10,2 cm, width: 5,1 cm (2 x 4 inches)

White Gloves
The PCCTS, Knights Templar have included white gloves as a feature to our
uniform.
Symbolically, white gloves represent an important aspect in our efforts. Gloves
are a necessary part of our wear to protect our hands and the hands are critical
to our work. The hands are the source of our labour and represent the builder
within us. Not only to protect the hands are gloves needed, they are to preserve
the cleanliness of the hands, thus insuring the perfection of the work. The
White Gloves are to represent the innocence of the acts performed and purity and
attention to detail in action.
Beyond that expression of innocence is a deeper lesson for us. Our hands are the
source of our actions and we should guard them accordingly. The left hand serves
as a constant reminder of equity and justice toward all. Always maintaining a
true and sincere freedom from bias, we should strive to be fair in all of our
actions. The right hand is recognised as the seat of fidelity and, since
fidelity means a strict faithfulness to an obligation, trust, or duty, we must
pay due attention to the protection of the right.
The White Gloves should always remind us of dignity and obligation and that we
should always strive to carry out our work with extreme attention to detail.
White Gloves can be ordered from this shop or a multitude of others:

The badge of the Justiciar Knight
The
badge of the Justiciar Knight illustrates a white skull, marked with the symbols
of communism, Islam and Nazism on the forehead, impaled on the cross of the
martyrs. The background is black. The badge of the Justiciar Knight illustrates
our patriotic struggle/ opposition against all three primary hate ideologies of
our time: Islam, Multiculturalism (Communism) and Nazism.
The badge of the Justiciar Knight is worn on the left upper arm while the
national flag is worn on the right upper arm.
Our military uniform with commendations, insignia and badges should be worn
during the trial after a successful operation in cases where the Justiciar
Knight survives. The commendations and insignias should be provided
post-operation by an Overseer.
I ordered two badges from: Indian Art Company (indianartco@gmail.com). They have
a high resolution image on file (file name: dagger and skull). The two badges
cost me a total of 220 USD (150 USD for badges and another 70 USD for Fedex
shipping).
Title: Sir Knight
The title: Sir Knight (Lady for females) will be awarded to any and all
individuals who have martyred themselves for the cause, the principles of the
PCCTS, Knights Templar. The title is a post-mortem award.
The PCCTS, Knights Templar honourary tombstone is created to honour certain
martyrs of the European Resistance Movement.
It is usually the Overseers task to award, produce, distribute and handle
logistical arrangements in regards to the Knights Templar tombstone.
The overseer will take the initiative to create the Justiciar Knight tombstone
and ensure that it is offered to the next of kin.
The Western European regulations concerning the violation of graves protect any
grave stone and prevent the government from removing/alter the text on any
stone. As such, it is a great way to tell the world exactly what you feel(felt),
statements otherwise not possible to display.
Front
side of the tombstone
The front side of the tombstone may be decorated with the following text:
BORN INTO MARXIST SLAVERY ON XX.XX.19XX. DIED AS A MARTYR FIGHTING THE “WESTERN
EUROPEAN COUNTRY” MARXIST CRIMINAL REGIME. SIR KNIGHT “FULL NAME”, A JUSTICIAR
KNIGHT COMMANDER (or operative) FOR THE PAUPERES COMMILITONES CHRISTI TEMPLIQUE
SOLOMONICI, KNIGHTS TEMPLAR AND A LEADER (or member/operative) OF THE ARMED
NATIONAL RESISTANCE MOVEMENT, DIED AS A MARTYR FIGHTING FOR THE FREEDOM OF HIS
PEOPLE AND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF HIS FATHERLAND ON XX.XX.2XXX. ALL FREE EUROPEANS
ARE IN YOUR ETERNAL DEBT.
Back side of the tombstone
The back side of the tombstone has a motif or sculpture of a knight’s armour
(this may also be replaced with a shield) displaying three numbers, three
significant years marking the two most important battles of Europe (732 and
1683) and includes a prophecy of the third (2083). The back side may be
decorated with the following text:
MARTYRDOM BEFORE DHIMMITUDE! NEVER SURRENDER!
The quote “never surrender” is from a statement made by Winston Churchill.
IHSV or IN HOC SIGNO VINCES means “under this sign, you will conquer” and was
coined by the first Christian Roman emperor Constantine I
in 312 AD.
Describing the primary features of the Justiciar Knight tombstone
The Doric base
The simple Doric base of the stone symbolises the Justiciar Knights voluntary
path consisting of struggle, poverty and suffering. He ignores the path of
decadence and instead chooses the difficult path of sacrifice because serving
his people and the sovereignty of his country is more important to him than a
life of self-centeredness.
Corinthian columns
The rich and slender Corinthian columns (either 2 or 4) represent our collective
and societal pursuit for perfection. The pursuit for perfection should always be
the primary individual, societal and civilisational goal.
The sword impaling the tombstone
Generally, the sword symbolises a high ranking, or otherwise significant
military person. The sword should represent your region/country and should be a
high quality replica from an important epoch in your national history. Every
sword should be distinctive and correlate to the national historical traditions
of the Justiciar Knight in question.
Distinctive symbols may be added
Distinctive national, regional, cultural or religious symbols may be added to de
base design of the tombstone. F example; an individual who would like to
emphasise Odinistic cultural traditions may add runes or other related symbols
on the back side of the tombstone. Justiciar Knights should make requests such
as these in their will/testament. Nationalist symbols can be selected but any
political symbols related to Nazism are strictly prohibited.
Common gravestone symbols:
-
Angel - Flying it would mean rebirth or resurrection; Trumpeting means
resurrection; Weeping symbolises grief and mourning. An angel is the messenger
between god and man.
-
Arches - Victory in death.
-
Arrow - Mortality; martyrdom.

History of the Red Cross of Constantine - IHSV, the Labarum
The PCCTS, Knights Templar awards the Red Cross of Constantine award under the
name;
Constantine I
Caesar Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus[3] (27 February c. 272[2]
– 22 May 337), commonly known in English as Constantine I, Constantine the
Great, was Roman emperor from 306, and the sole holder of that office from 324
until his death in 337. He is best known for being the first Christian Roman
emperor.
The Byzantine liturgical calendar, observed by the Eastern Orthodox Church and
Eastern Catholic Churches of Byzantine rite, lists both Constantine and his
mother Helena as saints. Although he is not included in the Latin Church's list
of saints, which does recognise several other Constantines as saints, he is
revered under the title "The Great" for his contributions to Christianity.
Constantine also transformed the ancient Greek colony of Byzantium into a new
imperial residence, Constantinople, which would remain the capital of the
Eastern Roman Empire for over one thousand years. His most famous building
projects include the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, in Jerusalem and Old Saint
Peter's Basilica. Old Saint Peter's Basilica was the building that once stood on
the spot where the Basilica of Saint Peter stands today in Rome
Red Cross of Constantine
The Red Cross of Constantine is one of the earliest Christian symbols of
Knighthood and was introduced by the Roman emperor Constantine I in the year
312. It originates from the labarum[1]
which was a vexillum (military standard) that displayed the "Chi-Rho"
symbol, formed from the first two Greek letters of the word "Christ" - Chi
(χ)
and Rho (ρ).
Since the vexillum consisted of a flag suspended from the crossbar of a
cross, it was ideally suited to symbolise crucifixion.
“When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up
a standard against him”
Isaiah 59:19
By tradition the Labarum was ordered to be carried before the legions of
Constantine after he had a vision in the heavens of a "cross of light" and the
Greek words EN TOUTO NIKA (conquer by this) and a subsequent nocturnal encounter
with the Lord Jesus Christ who told him to conquer under His sign. Constantine
directed that a spear be covered in gold with a crosspiece representing a cross,
and that the image of the chi-rho, the first two Greek initials in the name
Christ, be placed above the crosspiece encircled by a crown/wreath. A banner
hung from the crosspiece of imperial (Tyrian) purple and gold cloth. Constantine
had this Labarum carried before his legions as he defeated a much larger pagan
Roman force outside of Rome. He directed some of his men to place the chi-rho on
their shields and he wore it on his helmet. Constantine selected 50 men, called
the Praepositi Laberorum, to form a colour guard to protect the Labarum.
Constantine later recognised these men and organised them into the Golden
Chivalry - Torquati (so named for their gold collars) and Perfectissimi (Most
Perfect Knights).
IHSV – In Hoc Signo Vinces
In hoc signo vinces is the rendition in Latin of the Greek phrase "ἐν
τούτῳ
νίκα", en toutōi nika, meaning "with this as your standard you shall
have victory".
According to legend, Constantine I adopted this phrase,
as a motto after his vision of a chi rho on the sky just before the Battle of
Milvian Bridge against Maxentius in the year 312.
In later periods the christogram "IHS" both stood for the first three letters of
"Jesus" in Latinised Greek (Latinised IHSOVS) and "in hoc signo" from the
legend.
The initials "IHSV" is thus taken from the Latin phrase "IN HOC SIGNO VINCES"
(Under this Sign Conquer).

Explaining columns - classical order – the primary ancient styles of classical
architecture
A classical order is one of the ancient styles of classical architecture, each
distinguished by its proportions and characteristic profiles and details, and
most readily recognisable by the type of column employed. From the sixteenth
century onwards, architectural theorists recognised five orders. Each style has
its proper entablature, consisting of architrave, frieze and cornice.
Ranged in the engraving from the stockiest and most primitive to the richest and
most slender, they are: Tuscan (Roman) and Doric (Greek and Roman, illustrated
here in its Roman version); Ionic (Greek version) and Ionic (Roman version);
Corinthian (Greek and Roman) and composite (Roman). Initially, there were just
three ancient and original orders of architecture, the Doric, Ionic and
Corinthian, which were invented by the Greeks. To these the Romans added the
Tuscan, which they made simpler than the Doric, and the Composite, which was
more ornamental than the Corinthian.
The order of a classical building is like the mode or key of classical music, or
the grammar and rhetoric of a written composition.
There are three parts of a column. A column is divided into a shaft, its base
and its capital. In classical buildings the horisontal structure that is
supported on the columns like a beam is called an entablature. The entablature
is commonly divided into the architrave, the frieze and the cornice. To
distinguish between the different Classical orders, the capital is used, having
the most distinct characteristics.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_order
Military salutation of the PCCTS, Knights Templar
The military salutation of the PCCTS, Knights Templar is the clenched fist
salute. The raised fist salute consists of raising the right arm with a clenched
fist (preferably with a white glove). The clenched fist symbolizes strength,
honour and defiance against the Marxist tyrants of Europe while the white glove
symbolizes purity, duty, kinship and martyrdom. Using the right arm symbolizes
the tradition of the “Right Opposition”. The salutation is in line with
traditional usage, as we regard the present ruling multiculturalist elites in
Western Europe as left wing fascists. Our military salutation has nothing to do
with the so called “white power” salutation or the “Roman Salute” (Saluto
Romano), where the palm is faced down with fingers touching, often known as the
Hitler Salute used by National Socialists.
These statements are meant to be used after a successful operation. If you are
arrested during the planning or acquisition phase then, obviously, ignore the
following approaches and rather focus on getting acquitted so you may implement
your operation B.
A trial is an excellent opportunity and a well suited arena the Justiciar Knight
can use to publicly renounce the authority of the EUSSR/USASSR hegemony and the
specific cultural Marxist/multiculturalist regime. After all, this hegemony is
nothing more than a global criminal network consisting of fundamentally
undemocratic, anti-national dictatorships. The individual countries in this
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist criminal network are not democracies and have
not been real democracies since perhaps the 1950s. Instead they are dictated by
a small elite of political and cultural leaders who deliberately use the state
institutions and media companies to indoctrinate and control their own people.
The accused should use this opportunity to present all available documentation,
illustrations and proof included in this compendium (2083 – A European
Declaration of Independence) to claim his innocence. However, he should also at
a later stage in the trial demand freedom on behalf of his people and demand
that the regime in question immediately and without hesitation capitulates to
the pan-European tribunal – PCCTS, represented by the accused, the Justiciar
Knight and the national patriotic forces he indirectly controls. The Justiciar
Knight must demand the right to form a cultural conservative tribunal consisting
of the 20 most dedicated and trustworthy cultural conservative/patriotic leaders
in the country. Furthermore, he must demand that that the national parliament
immediately transfers all political powers to this newly established
tribunal/cabinet. The Justiciar Knight must also demand at least 20 hours of
unrestricted access to the national broadcasting company in order to consolidate
and rally an initial and loyal patriotic military force (2000 should be a
benchmark depending on the size of the country). The Justiciar Knight and the
newly established tribunal will then appoint one trustworthy individual in his
newly appointed cabinet to be the new national military commander with control
of the national regular military forces. Martial law must be declared in this
transitional period. (See relevant phase 3 strategies for more detailed
descriptions).
By the time you are done presenting your demands, the judges and the trial
audience will probably laugh their asses off and mock you for being ridiculous.
Nevertheless, it is important to ignore the ridicule and remain firm and
focused. After all, it is what we in fact expect to happen one day. If we truly
believe that, then more people will as well. It might sound completely
ridiculous and funny to most people today. But by presenting the following
accusations and demands in all seriousness we are indirectly conditioning
everyone listening for the conflicts and scenarios ahead. They will laugh today,
but in the back of their minds, they have an ounce of fear, respect and
admiration for our cause and the alternative and authority we represent. Because
they know that it is not completely unlikely that the scenario you just
described will in fact happen one day in a not too distant future.
So the key word is “conditioning”, through indirect psychological warfare,
directed at our enemies by presenting them with given scenario. We are thus
indirectly preparing not only our enemies but our people for what lies ahead. Do
not whisper these accusations and demands but tell them out loudly and proudly.
Opening statement – Knights Templar trial
An opening statement is an introductory statement made by the attorneys for each
side at the start of a trial. The opening statement, although not mandatory, is
seldom waived because it offers a valuable opportunity to provide an overview of
the case to the jury and to explain the anticipated proof that will be presented
during the course of the trial.
The primary purpose of an opening statement is to apprise the trier of fact,
whether jury or court, of the issues in question and to summarise the evidence
that the party intends to offer during the trial. The Supreme Court has
characterised an opening statement as "ordinarily intended to do no more than to
inform the jury in a general way of the nature of the action and defence so that
they may better be prepared to understand the evidence"
Most practitioners and legal scholars agree that an effective opening statement
is vital to the trial process. The importance of an opening statement has been
established by studies that showed that 80 percent of jurors' ultimate
conclusions with respect to the verdict corresponded with their tentative
opinion after opening statements. This is because an effective opening statement
establishes the facts of the case and sets forth a legal theory and explanation
for why the attorney's client should prevail.
Using the court proceedings as a platform to further our cause
The goal for the European resistance fighter is not to win the trial but to
present all available evidence, presented in this compendium, and his cause in
the most favourable way in order to help generate a maximum amount of
sympathisers and supporters for the national and/or European patriotic
resistance movement. The judges will not be sympathetic towards you because they
are, after all, representatives of the regime we wish to defeat. After a
successful operation, allowing capture and the subsequent court proceedings may
presents several propaganda opportunities. The trial itself may not end up as
anything else than a formality where the goal can be to change the law, forcing
the parliament of that country to introduce the death penalty, or harshen the
penal laws in other ways. Indirectly forcing the parliament of your country to
change the laws will be an indirect victory to our movement because it will
provide significant media coverage of our cause and thus will contribute to
future recruitment efforts. Devastating attacks will develop into an existential
conflict between the regime and the resistance movement where the regime
ultimately will lose or will be forced to use Stalinist methods. In both cases,
they will eventually lose.
Example - opening statement for Justiciar Knights or other European resistance
fighters:
To the jury and/or members of the court; I am standing here today as a Justiciar
Knight Commander of the PCCTS, Knights Templar, a pan-European organisation
which is a part of the patriotic National Resistance Movements in all Western
European countries. I represent the highest national military and political
authority considering the fact that we are the only military force in this
country that represents the free patriotic people, as we are not on the pay roll
of the category A and B traitors that you refer to as your superiors. When I
speak, I speak on behalf of millions of Europeans who does not want to see their
culture and territorial rights taken from them, who does not want to live under
current or future dhimmitude and who does not accept that their own leaders are
selling them against their will to Islamic slavery.
The current multiculturalist regimes of Western Europe are not at all
democratic, this country is not democratic. They haven’t been democratic since
the 1950s. There is no basis for democracy when all state institutions including
schools, universities deliberately use advanced brainwashing techniques (as will
be described later) to condition the people from resisting their own
annihilation through the implementation of cultural Marxism/multiculturalist
doctrines. Furthermore, there is no basis for democracy when 99% of all
journalists support and propagate multiculturalism. There is no basis for
democracy when all patriots and nationalists are ignored, ridiculed or
persecuted. Factors such as these and many more have resulted in the Marxist
tyranny we live under today. The political and cultural elites are deliberately
selling their own people into Islamic slavery by allowing demographical warfare.
Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States and the author of the
US Declaration of Independence, stated;
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.”
He also wrote:
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is
the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new
Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organising its powers
in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and
Happiness. [...] It is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
Refreshing the tree is now long overdue as our countries are in a rapid state of
disintegration. The intention of the National Resistance Movement is to refresh
the tree of liberty, and obviously not to cut it down. Refreshing the tree of
liberty involves a coup supported by a significant portion of European patriots.
Many of us will have to sacrifice our life for the cause in order to destroy the
tyrants of our time. It is impossible to guarantee a democratically sanctioned
coup as we have to keep in mind that Europeans have been brainwashed now for two
generations. Many will oppose us for our stance and call us fascist.
Nevertheless, it is essential to acknowledge and understand that we are not.
All coups involve the temporary suspension of the constitution. Thomas Jefferson
himself knew that. However, the goal of the coup is as I said not to chop down
the tree of liberty but to refresh it.
I would like to begin by saying that of all our attainments, the freedom of our
people is the most precious and the most vulnerable. Preserving our freedom and
sovereignty is what many of our forefathers dedicated their lives to and what so
many thousands of our people have given their lives for. Our freedom, national
identity and our culture in this country is the fruit of centuries even
millennia’s of struggles. It is the result of a history that has no equal and
has brought us to where we are today. I will present evidence proving that the
freedom of our people, our culture, our traditions, our Christendom and our
national identity is in the process of being deconstructed by cultural Marxists
and multiculturalists in our country.
Before I continue I would like to read a quote from John Stuart Mill, a former
English Member of Parliament and influential British thinker:
“A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction,
and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury.”
I will prove that these cultural Marxists infiltrated our state institutions
after WW2, especially our schools, universities and the media. I will prove that
our political system referred to as a democracy has over the last 6 decades
developed into a cultural Marxist dictatorship controlled by a group of
multiculturalist elites whose plans consist of the deconstructing our country’s
traditions, national identity and even our nation state. The most influential of
these individuals are referred to as category A and B traitors. This traitorous
elite now controls a majority of our state intuitions, including the media and
our courts. I will prove that they have deliberately and systematically
undermined this country and their day to day betrayal continues to weaken the
cultural defences of our country.
By deconstructing our cultural defences, these category A and B traitors have
laid the foundation for cultural conquest, but it doesn’t end there. These
category A and B traitors continue to facilitate and allow the ongoing Islamic
colonisation of our country, a process better known as Islamic demographic
warfare. This Islamic demographic warfare will eventually lead to the
enslavement of our people under the Islamic Ummah. Due to the actions of these
category A and B traitors we will end up as the persecuted Christian minority in
Lebanon. Didn’t you know that Lebanon was once a Christian country with 80%
Christians in 1911? I expect that you knew that. However if you were unfamiliar
with the successful Jihad in Lebanon I will present 10 other historical examples
later on.
The following statement was written by Karl Popper, a philosopher at the London
School of Economics:
“If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are
not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the
intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.
We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate
the intolerant.”
I will prove that the only pragmatical approach, the only hope our people have
of preventing the future enslavement of our people and preventing the ongoing
cultural and demographical genocide is for every European to do what is required
of him. Every European has not only a right but a duty to contribute to the
efforts of our National Resistance Movement through armed struggle against all
category A and B traitors. The PCCTS and the Justiciar Knights represents the
highest military authority in this country because we are the only military
force that acts in the interest of our people. We are the true manifestation of
the will of our people which cannot be said about our regular national army as
they are controlled by the multiculturalist category A and B traitors we wish to
defeat.
The individuals I have been accused of illegally executing are all category A
and B traitors, guilty of high treason and condemned to death by the highest
legal authority in Europe and our country. This authority is known as the
military and criminal tribunal; PCCTS. All the individuals I have been accused
of illegally executing have deliberately used their influence in a way which
makes them indirectly or directly guilty of charges 1-8 which will be presented
later.
The evidence I will present will prove not only that I am innocent of the crimes
I have been accused of. It will prove that we, as the highest military authority
in this country have the right to temporary suspend the constitution and to
seize political and military control of our country until all category A and B
traitors have been hunted down and executed. There are approximately xxxx
category A and B traitors operating freely within the borders of our nation. I
will get back to this point later.
The question that many now ask themselves is the following:
Am I a Sitting Bull or a Hitler of our time? As you already know, Sitting Bull
was a celebrated hero, a Native American Chief who fought on behalf of his
people against General Armstrong Custer and the US force. Ask yourself, who is
the Hitler of the two? Sitting Bull or General Custer? Was Sitting Bull a
terrorist because he fought for the indigenous rights of his people or was he a
hero? That is the question that you will decide during this trial.
We, the armed European Resistance Movements, are in fact fighting for our
indigenous rights (compared to the Islamic terrorists who are fighting for world
domination – a global Caliphate based on Sharia law). An individual fighting for
his indigenous rights is NOT a terrorist as history clearly proves. We are no
more terrorists than the indigenous Brits who fought against the imperialistic
Roman invaders, or the Americans who fought against English rule. We are no more
terrorists than Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse or Chief Gall who fought for their
people against the imperialist General Armstrong Custer.
WE are the Sitting Bulls, Crazy Horses and Chief Galls of our time and the
imperialistic Custer’s of our time are called Barroso, Blair, Brown, Merkel and
Sarkozy.
We, the PCCTS, Knights Templar and the Justiciar Knights of Europe and this
country have dedicated our lives to defend and sacrifice ourselves for the
freedom of our people, our culture, Christendom and our nation. We know what the
risks are and we willingly pay the price for that every day. We do not complain
about it; it is our own decision. It is my duty, as a Justiciar Knight of the
European Resistance Movement to defend my people, my country and my culture from
gradual systematic and deliberate genocide and this is the reason why I am
standing here today. I know that the truth I represent is tough and hard to
comprehend and accept in our politically correct times. But the majority of free
and patriotic Europeans will learn that what I say here today is the truth. We
have the people on our side; we have the truth on our side. What do you have?
It is every Europeans duty to defend their people and country against the
ideology of genocide, conquest and destruction known as Islam.
I have nothing against individual Muslims. The problem is that Islam is a
political ideology and the fact that the ongoing Islamisation of our country
will eventually be the end of our freedom. Future generations will wonder how
we, in 2010, at this location, in this room, served our most precious asset.
Will you condemn the patriotic heroes of the Resistance Movement for
contributing to save their people and country from slavery and tyranny? Isn’t it
the most basic human right to save your own people and culture from deliberate
genocide and extermination?
The answer to that is immediately also the answer to the question whether
individuals in this country are actually free or if they have already been
reduced to slaves of the multiculturalist traitor elites.
Mark Twain once wrote:
“During a time of change, the patriot is a scarce man. He is hated and scorned.
When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him. For then it costs nothing
to be a patriot. “
Mark Twain
According to you, this trial is about whether I, as a member of the National
Resistance Movement also known as the National Indigenous Rights Movement, have
the right to defend myself, my people and my culture by executing the category A
and B traitors who are deliberately allowing the Islamic colonisation of our
country.
But this trial is also about finding the truth. The statements I have made, the
comparisons I have drawn – are they true? Because, if something is true, how can
it be illegal? Therefore I ask you, not only to grant my request for presenting
all available evidence and documentation listed in the compendium:
2083 – A European Declaration of
Independence, but also to allow the hearing of witnesses and experts in the
field concerning the ongoing colonisation of Europe and who can attest to the
fact that the traitors I have executed where facilitating and deliberately
contributing to this process. I ask that this is done in full publicity.
I am not only referring to Witness 1and Witness 2 but also on the expert
witnesses from Country 1, Country 2, Country 3 and other countries. Preferably,
all. I must have the ability to defend myself. I must be allowed to prove to you
and to the people of this country that I have acted in the only rightful manner,
in self defence through a pre-emptive attack. I must be allowed to prove that I
executed these traitors in order to prevent them from continuing to contribute
in the ongoing processes of cultural and demographical genocide and
extermination. Please do not obstruct me from doing that. Because without this
documentation and the mentioned witnesses, I cannot defend myself in a proper
way and in my view it will this will not be a fair trial. Thank you.
Trial hearings
Present the relevant documentation from the compendium; 2083.
Closing statement – last day of trial, after judgment (guilty):
I would like to begin by stating the obvious. I would like to begin by stating
the truth, a truth that has been deemed illegal according to the Marxist tyrants
of our time. Multiculturalism is an anti-European hate ideology which has been
designed to exterminate European culture, traditions, our identity and even our
nation state.
The individuals I have been accused of illegally executing are all category A
and B traitors. They are supporters of the anti-European hate-ideology known as
multiculturalism, an ideology that facilitates Islamisation and Islamic
demographic warfare. The category A and B traitors I executed were killed in
self defence through a pre-emptive strike. They have been found guilty of high
treason and condemned to death by the highest legal authority in Europe and our
country. This authority is known as the military and criminal tribunal; PCCTS,
Knights Templar. All the individuals I have been accused of illegally executing
have deliberately used their influence in a way which makes them guilty of
charges 1 through 8 which was presented earlier.
The evidence I have present has not only proven that I am innocent of the crimes
I have been accused of. It has been proven that we, the PCCTS, Knights Templar,
and the rest of the National Resistance Movement are in fact the highest
military authority in this country, and we have the right and a duty to
temporarily seize political and military control of our country until all
category A and B traitors have been hunted down and executed and all Muslims
have been deported. There is currently approximately xxxx category A and B
traitors operating freely within the borders of our nation and these individuals
continue to undermine and weaken our country every single day. Trust me when I
say, every single one of them will be hunted down and executed by my brothers
and sisters, the National Resistance Movement, the free people of our country.
The current multiculturalist regimes of Western Europe are not at all
democratic, this country is not democratic. They haven’t been democratic since
the 1950s. This country is a multiculturalist dictatorship run by tyrants. There
is no basis for democracy when all state institutions including schools,
universities deliberately use advanced brainwashing techniques (as has been
described ) to condition and manipulate the people from resisting their own
annihilation through the implementation of cultural Marxism/multiculturalist
doctrines. Furthermore, there is no basis for democracy when 99% of all
journalists support and propagate multiculturalism. There is no basis for
democracy when all patriots and nationalists are ignored, ridiculed or
persecuted. Factors such as these and many more have resulted in the Marxist
tyranny we live under today. The political and cultural elites are deliberately
selling, us, their own people into Islamic slavery by allowing Islamic
demographical warfare.
Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States and the author of the
Declaration of Independence, stated;
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.”
He also wrote:
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is
the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new
Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organising its powers
in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and
Happiness. [...] It is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
I suggest you memorise these two quotes as many patriots will stand here in the
future as I stand here today. Refreshing the tree of liberty is now long overdue
as our countries are in a rapid state of disintegration. The intention of the
National Resistance Movement is to refresh the tree of liberty and we will
eventually succeed even if it takes us 70 years. Many of us will have to
sacrifice our life for the cause in order to destroy the tyrants of our time.
Many will oppose us for our stance and call us terrorists or fascist.
Nevertheless, it is essential to acknowledge and understand that we are not.
The question that many now ask themselves is the following:
Due to your twisted logic, by judging me here today, all the history books in
the world has to be re-written. Because you have essentially condemned the
Native American resistance hero: Sitting Bull as a murderer and a terrorist and
you have thus exonerated General Custer, the butcherer who annihilated the
indigenous peoples of America. According to your logic, the UN declaration of
human rights has to be changed, because it is no longer allowed to fight against
the annihilation of one’s culture and traditions. An individual fighting for his
indigenous rights is NOT a terrorist as history clearly proves. We are no more
terrorists than the indigenous Brits who fought against the imperialistic Roman
invaders, or the Americans who fought against English rule. We are no more
terrorists than Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse or Chief Gall who fought for their
people against the imperialist General Armstrong Custer.
WE are the Sitting Bulls, Crazy Horses and Chief Galls of our time and the
imperialistic Custer’s of our time are called Barroso, Blair, Brown, Merkel and
Sarkozy. You have clearly proved here today that you are nothing more than a
cheap tool to these dictators. You are clearly collaborating with these
traitors, which makes you personally guilty of high treason.
We, the PCCTS, Knights Templar and the Justiciar Knights of Europe and this
country have dedicated our lives to defend and sacrifice ourselves for the
freedom of our people, our culture, our traditions, for Christendom and our
nation. We know what the risks are and we willingly pay the price for that every
day. We do not complain about it; it is our own decision. It is my duty, as a
Justiciar Knight of the PCCTS and the European Resistance Movement to defend my
people, my country and my culture from gradual, systematic and deliberate
genocide and this is the reason why I have been convicted today. I know that the
truth I represent is tough and hard to comprehend and accept in our politically
correct times. But the majority of free and patriotic Europeans will learn that
what I say here today is the truth. We have the people on our side; we have the
truth on our side. We have time on our side. What do you have?
It is every Europeans duty to defend their people and country against the
ideology of genocide, conquest and destruction known as Islam.
You have condemned a member of the National and pan-European Resistance Movement
for the actions of contributing to save their people and country from current
and future oppression, tyranny and slavery. You have therefore disallowed the
people of this country the most basic human right; to save their own people and
culture from deliberate genocide and extermination.
You have therefore not only condemned me but you have condemned every individual
in this country to future dhimmitude, slavery and death. You have shown that you
are not working for the interests of the people but that you are simple puppets
and tools of the multiculturalist traitor elites. You are puppets and tools of
the Global Islamic Ummah.
I will be so bold and guarantee you one thing. You will lose this European civil
war sooner than you imagine. Your regime will fall within 2083 and we, the
peoples of Europe, will be free once more. We will be free to determine our own
future, free to preserve our traditions and culture, free to secure prosperity
and the safe and peaceful existence of our people. All multiculturalist category
A and B traitors will be executed and Islam will be expelled from Europe for a
third time. Islam was thrown out of for the first time in 1492 marking the end
of the reconquista in Spain. Islam was thrown out from Western Europe once again
after the Battle of Vienna in 1683. Islam will be thrown out of Europe within 70
years for a third time, of that you can be certain.
You may judge me today, but history will judge you. History will show that you
condemned an innocent here today, a member of the National Resistance Movement.
History will show that you condemned a protector of freedom, a protector of our
country, a protector of our culture, a protector of our identity, a protector of
Christendom and a protector of our people. History will show that you soaked
your hands in blood here today. May my brothers and sisters, all the current and
future individual members of the European Resistance Movements and the rest of
the patriots of this country show you compassion and forgiveness for what you
have done here today. I forgive you, because I truly believe that you do not
know what you are doing.
A Justiciar Knight must be prepared to actively search for a nationalistic
oriented (patriotic) lawyer /legal counsel before his trial starts. DO NOT
accept a random appointed public defender offered by the regime. Chances are too
great that this individual will be either incompetent or not willing to work for
you interests (which is to further the cause, and not provide the most optimal
defence). The nationalistic orientated defence lawyer you are searching for
should provide his services pro bono (free of charge as an investment in a good
cause). If you managed to execute a relatively “spectacular” operation many so
called “high profile” attorneys will contact you and offer their services
discounted or for free. Understand that a large majority of these individuals
will not be willing to cater for your demands but are only interested in the
publicity surrounding the case. They are so called “legal prostitutes” who just
wants their face on TV. Ignore these requests and continue your search for a
patriotic oriented defence attorney who is willing to accept your three primary
demands.
You will be restricted from doing effective research from jail so you may have
to ask anyone you know on the outside to assist you in searching for this
candidate. Very few patriotic defence attorneys will be willing to flag their
political views publicly as it may have devastating effects on their career so
finding a good candidate may prove to be a challenging task. On the bright side,
a defence attorney flagging his views may actually benefit that individual as
well as he will literally have a monopoly on that niche market in future related
cases.
There are three primary tasks your defence attorney must be willing to assist
you with:
Initial briefing of your defence attorney
The candidate must be explaining that this trial is not about you but about the
future of Europe. Your participation in the trial is merely a formality and a
Justiciar Knight expects no mercy/leniency whatsoever, as we offer no
mercy/leniency to our enemies. The candidate must be informed that the purpose
of your defence is not to ensure the lowest possible sentence but rather to
further the cause of saving Europe from Marxism and the subsequent
manifestations (Islamisation etc.) which is the cause of the PCCTS, Knights
Templar).
This approach (as your defence attorney will point out) will guarantee that you
will not be shown any leniency whatsoever.
The three primary tasks expected from your defence attorney
1.
Willingness to facilitate you logistically
The candidate must be willing to order the components that make out the
Justiciar Knight uniform for you and he/she must then compensate a tailor to
assemble it. This task will take him several hours so he should be prepared to
invest that time. He must understand that wearing our uniform during trial is an
essential aspect of furthering our cause and he must be willing to facilitate
you.
2.
Willingness to facilitate you ideologically
The candidate must be willing to contribute to assist you to further the cause
of the PCCTS, Knights Templar which is the cause to free all Europeans from
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist tyranny. You must be allowed to defend
yourself, at least allow you to read the opening/closing speech, unless you
prefer him to read your statement for you. Obviously, the candidate isn’t
required to support the methods of the PCCTS, Knights Templar (mass killings,
terror etc.), but he must support the primary ideological principles and the
legal defensive strategy presented.
3.
Willingness to facilitate you to build a case against the regime
The candidate must be willing to contribute (facilitate you) to build the case
against the regime (as the primary defensive strategy) based on the
documentation presented in the compendium; 2083 – A European Declaration of
Independence. Remember, this trial is (from our point of view), not against you
but rather a trial against the regime. The climax of the trial will be after all
arguments/documentation and accusations have been presented. You will then make
a demand the unconditional surrender of the regime to the armed forces of the
National Resistance Movement. After all, you are not only a Justiciar Knight for
the PCCTS, Knights Templar but one of several commanders of the National
Resistance Movement by default.
Finding a candidate that will be willing to assist you with the primary tasks
will be difficult. However, it is essential that you try as hard as you possibly
can to acquire the appropriate legal counsel. It will be absolutely necessary in
order to provide you with a sufficient defence.
Due to the nature and hierarchical and logistical limitations of our clandestine
and extremely distributed organisational structure it is the responsibility of
the individual (during phase 1 – 2010-2030) to ensure that he performs the
initiation ritual. The rite is somewhat similar to the ancient and original
ritual of the Knights Templar. This ritual has been partly adopted and kept
alive by the Freemasons and similar “chivalric orders” the last centuries. The
following ritual is a requirement and must be performed by all aspiring
Justiciar Knights of the PCCTS, Knights Templar in phase 1. You are likely to be
alone when performing the rite so you will not undergo the full magnitude of the
experience. The candidate is normally surrounded by Justiciar Knights under a
normal initiation ceremony.
Symbolicism of the ritual
The
purpose of the rite is to create and formalise your commitment to the cause of
the PCCTS, Knights Templar. You are also literally making a blood pact with the
other side; with your ancestors, with past martyrs and with God. You are
offering them a central part of your very being in exchange for the gift of
immortality and a place in the eternal kingdom. You pledge allegiance to the
principles of the PCCTS, Knights Templar, to fellow Justiciar Knights, to your
people, the wishes of your ancestors and to God. Your oath will commit you to
act selflessly as you offer them devoted service to the death.
As a holy Knight fighting for your people and the preservation of Christendom,
the Templar’s, as the Justiciar Knight candidate, are willing to put aside the
usual temptations of ordinary secular life for an arduous and dedicated life of
service and sacrifice. As soon as you have completed the rite your life will
consist of reaching a pious state, embracing voluntary poverty, devoted service
and unwavering dedication and loyalty to the principles of the Knights Templar.
Your burdens will be lifted as you cast of the chains that influence you
negatively in your day to day life and prevents you from doing the right thing
for yourself, your family, your countrymen and your country.
The rite is in many ways a death ritual where you will break the chains that
burden you and you will rise as an immortal as you become fully prepared for the
afterlife.
The intention of the rite is to formalise or create an unbreakable commitment
where the candidate commits to:
·
Purge his traditional career/secular ambitions – you are embracing your destiny
as a martyr for the cause of the PCCTS, Knights Templar
·
Purge or distance yourself from worldly influences (including friends, family)
·
Seek a pious lifestyle and voluntary poverty as all your worldly resources will
go to the operation/cause from now on
You will rise up as a Justiciar Knight and gain:
·
Partial immortality (an individual who has embraced martyrdom and death cannot
be killed, all martyrs in protection of Christendom are granted a place in
heaven)
·
Ideological confidence
·
Military/operational confidence
·
Fearlessness
·
Unwavering dedication
Preparation - items required to perform the initiation rite:
Specific items required:
·
A candle
·
A skull (replica, or an item resembling a skull)
·
A sword
·
Dimly lit surroundings (the temple), a room or the wilds
Surroundings:
as you obviously do not have access to the Temple of Solomon (as it currently
lies in ruin bellow the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem), you will need to use the
second best option, a solid rock (shaped somewhat as a cubic altar) resembling
an actual stone altar. Prior to the rite, you, as a Justiciar Knight candidate,
are described as a “poor candidate”, in a burdened state of darkness, which is
figurative of being in a state of the darkest ignorance surrounded by negative
influences (chains/burdens) preventing you from being a Knight and doing the
right thing. The properties of stability and strength of the stone altar is
being communicated to the oath contributing to making it inviolable.
Furthermore, you are to print out the text (the oath) and sign it with your own
blood, and subsequently burn it on the “altar”.
Lighting:
the ritual should be performed in a dimly lit environment (a room or in the
wilds during dusk or dawn) and you will use one candle light. The candle is
placed on the altar. The candle symbolises and represents the light of God or,
specifically, the light of Christ and is, as we all know, common in Christian
rituals. This liturgical candle must be made of at least 51% beeswax, the
remainder may be paraffin or some other substance (a
paschal candle may be used).
A skull:
a skull or an object resembling a human skull. The skull is placed in the centre
of the altar next to the candle. The skull figuratively represents the
afterlife/death, and the fallen heroes of our cause, our dead or martyred
ancestors or brethren who died for their people and for Christendom in the past
(former Knights Templar’s and nationalist/patriotic fighters of past struggles).
You face the skull while reading the oath.
Attire:
the candidate will wear his best
clothing while performing the initiation rite (normally the modern European
suit). A traditional European dinner suit is the most optimal attire but not
required. The use of similar attires symbolises that there is no distinction
between Justiciar Knights.
The Justiciar Knight attire illustrates the dignity and nobleness of the
Justiciar Knight office as judge, jury and executioner. The purpose of the
Justiciar Knight is to heed the call of his people in an unselfish manner. He is
the protector of his people, culture, country, of European Christendom and
civilisation.
White gloves:
the gloves stand for dignity and purity (note that the good person is described
in Psalm 24 as having “clean hands and a pure heart”).
A sword:
the sword symbolises aggression, protection, courage, strength, action, unity,
justice, leadership and decision – all important characteristics of the nature
of a Justiciar Knight. If you are performing the rite alone, you must provide a
sword, preferably a good replica of a battle ready European sword from an epoch
of your national history (f example a broad Viking sword for Scandinavians, a
Roman sword for Southern Europeans etc (this sword may be utilized later as it
will be an aspect of the tombstone – see chapter about Overseer).
Under normal circumstances (phase 2), there will be several Justiciar Knights
present encircling the candidate in a crescent on one side of the altar. They
will all raise their swords against the candidate while he reads the final part
of the oath. As this may not be possible during phase 1, the candidate must make
the best out of the situation. The shaft of the sword is placed on the altar
while you place it in such a way that the tip of the sword faces your heart.
Here we experience the metaphorical sword cleanly piercing the spiritual soul of
man. This symbolic action sacrifices physical bondage to release a path to the
ethereal (enlightened) freedom of our struggle. Should the candidate ever
knowingly and deliberately violate his oath he will have his
body severed in two, his bowels taken
from thence and burned to ashes, the ashes scattered before the four winds of
heaven by fellow Justiciar Knights.
The candidate kneels during the ritual.
The PCCTS, Knights Templar Oath – Initiation Rite
[The candidate kneels in front of the
altar, while reading the oath out loudly]
I, ________, of my own free will and accord, in the presence of Almighty God,
the spirits of my ancestors and past martyrs, do hereby and hereon most solemnly
and sincerely promise and swear, from now and forever, that I will hail, respect
and obey the principles of the PCCTS, Knights Templar. I furthermore promise and
swear that I will stand to and abide by all laws, rules and regulations of the
Military Order and Criminal Tribunal - PCCTS, Knights Templar. Further, that I
will always aid and assist fellow Justiciar Knights, their widows and orphans,
knowing them to be such, as far as their necessities may require, and my ability
permit, without material injury to myself and family. Further, that I will keep
a brother Justiciar Knight secrets inviolable, when communicated to and received
by me as such.
I declare to take freely and solemnly this oath of obedience, this pledge of
voluntary poverty and commitment.
With this oath I state my strong and irrevocable intent:
To pledge my sword, my forces, my life and everything that I own to the cause,
defence, honour of my country and of Europe, my people, the Christian religion,
of the PCCTS, Knights Templar and of my companions in arms; to the rescue of my
country and of Europe as a whole from the tyranny of Marxist and Islamic
oppression.
To love my brothers the Knights and my Sisters the Ladies
and help them, their children and their widows with my sword, my advice,
means and wealth, my credit and everything in my power, and will favour them,
with no exception, over those who are not members of the order.
To fight the infidels and the non-believers with my example, virtue, charity and
convincing arguments; and to fight with the sword the infidels and non-believers
who attack the Cross with their own sword.
I will not aid, nor be present at, the initiation, passing, or raising of a
madman, traitor or fool, knowing him to be such.
I will not converse with outsiders on the subjects related to my operation or
any issue that may contribute to incriminate myself or fellow Justiciar Knights.
I will not cheat, wrong, nor defraud a fellow Justiciar Knight, knowingly, nor
supplant him in any of his laudable undertakings, but will give him due and
timely notice, that he may ward of all danger.
I will not knowingly strike a brother Justiciar Knight, or otherwise do him harm
or personal violence in anger, except in the necessary defence of my family.
I acknowledge that I have the intellectual capacity required to develop a
sufficient strategy and the initiative, courage and discipline to see it
through.
I acknowledge that I have the mental strength to maintain good spirits,
motivation and moral at the necessary level until my mission has been completed.
I acknowledge that I am a person who carries within me the virtue of patience
and I will therefore not act prematurely but plan accordingly.
I acknowledge that I have or will be able to acquire the required finances which
will allow me to fund my military operation.
I swear to follow the appropriate training programs and to acquire the
appropriate knowledge, weaponry, armour, equipment and transportation required
to execute my mission.
I acknowledge that I have understood the basic principles of war; that sometimes
cruelty must be applied to prevent an even greater evil. I accept the fact that
sometimes, innocent individuals have to perish in order to serve the greater
good.
I acknowledge that I possess the qualities of initiative, patience, creativity,
devotion to the cause and the ability to command any situation that might arise.
I acknowledge that I understand that my duty is to act, to find and develop
adequate solutions for each problem I might face. Because I understand that
without initiative, there is no resistance.
I acknowledge that in the light of the authority of my office as a jury, judge
and executioner - as a Justiciar Knight for the PCCTS, Knights Templar, I am
representing the highest military and political authority in Western European
countries during all phases of the civil war. I will act as a representative for
all free indigenous Europeans and I will always act in the best interest of the
people, with a long term perspective. I must contribute to explain to the people
that sometimes, short term pain will be necessary to ensure the long term
survival and prosperity of our people. I will not misuse the authority of my
office but always serve the people who count on our resolve, pragmatic mindset,
unwavering determination and timely action. Although we, as a Justiciar Knights,
have the power to influence millions, we will never be blinded by hate or greed
but must instead adhere to the principles of the PCCTS, Knights Templar.
I acknowledge and agree to follow and embrace the road of ultimate sacrifice and
martyrdom should the situation require it. Under such circumstances I will not
fear death but I will embrace it. I agree to this in order to secure the
sovereignty of my country, the freedom of my people, my family and my friends,
for their children and grandchildren’s sake, for the preservation of my culture,
for Christendom and for the preservation of everything I hold dear.
I will strive to be truly a fearless knight and secure on every side, for my
soul is protected by the armour of faith, the truth, ideological confidence and
a just cause, just as my body is protected by the armour of steel. I am thus
doubly armed and need fear neither demons nor men.
Whether I live or whether I die, I have the truth on my side, our struggle is
survival and to fight for our freedom from slavery. What a glory to return in
victory from such a battle! How blessed to die there as a martyr! How secure is
life when the conscience is unsullied! How secure, I say, is life when death is
anticipated without fear; or rather when it is desired with feeling and embraced
with reverence!
When the battle is at hand, I will arm myself interiorly with faith, truth and
confidence, and exteriorly with steel rather than decorate myself with gold.
I will seek out horses which are strong and swift, rather than those which are
brilliant and well-plumed; I will set my mind on fighting to win rather than on
parading for show. I think not of glory and seek to be formidable rather than
decadent.
No matter how outnumbered I am, I will never surrender, for victory in war is
not dependent on a big army, but on the bravery, cleverness and the
determination of the Knight.
In a wondrous and unique manner I will appear gentler than a lamb, yet I will
prove to be fiercer than a lion.
[The Justiciar Knights raises their
swords against the candidate. if alone; the candidate places the sword in such a
way that the tip of the sword faces his heart]
All this I most solemnly, sincerely promise and swear, with a firm and steady
resolution to perform the same, without any hesitation, myself,
under no less penalty than that of
having my body severed in two, my bowels taken from thence and burned to ashes,
the ashes scattered before the four winds of heaven, that no more
remembrance might be had of so vile and wicked a wretch as I would be, should I
ever, knowingly, violate my obligations. So help me God, and keep me steadfast
in the due performance of the same.
This oath I pronounce loudly, and is witnessed by the Knights present, the
spirits of my ancestors, past martyrs and the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Ghost. I sign this pledge and confirm it by my blood.
[If the candidate is alone with no other
Justiciar Knights present; he makes a small cut in his finger, and from the
drops of blood (a few drops is sufficient), signs the document, and then burns
it using the flame from the candle.]
[The candidate may rise; for he is now a
Justiciar Knight.]
We live in a time of excessive consumerism where the acquisition of wealth and
prestige is the driving force in our lives. So in a world where cash is king,
how can we expect anyone to champion the correct ideals and truth?
I’ve discussed this so many times with my sister and so many others. My sister
Elisabeth lives in Los Angeles btw. and has chosen a life where… you guessed it:
the acquisition of wealth is the driving force in her life. Well, this is not
entirely true. She only wants financial security to live a life without worry
and to be able to do what she wants when she wants. She and her husband has done
well and makes aprox 150 000 USD annually. That doesn’t really sound too bad. I
used to be just like that so I know where she and millions of other Europeans
are coming from. In fact, we are indoctrinated from early age to think this way.
The only problem when everyone chooses this path is that we don’t have any
idealists left who actually cares about the greater good and the protection of
our liberties.
If everyone chooses to be egotistical opportunists then who will be left who
maintains integrity and will selflessly oversee and protect the rights of the
people?
The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is
more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no
chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than
himself.
If there are absolutely no incentives to do the right thing how can we expect
enough individuals to sacrifice themselves for the greater good? I know a lot of
people think this way. I’ve had this discussion with some of my best friends.
They say:
“Why the hell do you care so much when the people you are trying to serve
doesn’t care at all about you. They even detest you for trying to tell them the
truth and think you are a moron. Why not conform like us and enjoy all the
benefits while we still can. Why not enjoy life now? Who gives a shit what
happens in 100 years?”
This is the core problem on the political right and explains somewhat why the
Marxists are superior when it comes to organisation and implementation. The
political right simply lacks a fundamental idealistic mindset to a much larger
degree than the political left.
In light of this new reality we have no choice but to adapt and create
incentives to the individuals willing to act selflessly.
Compensation program to all voluntary political members/activists of the
European resistance movements
– phase of dialogue and phase 1 (1950-2030)
Does not apply if individuals are/have been already compensated financially by a
second or third party.
Redistribution policies in phase 2 or 3
Category A, B and C traitors (politically active cultural Marxists,
multiculturalists, capitalist globalists and suicidal humanists) will have their
property and funds expropriated by the new cultural conservative regime. The
property and funds will be redistributed to individuals based on previous
efforts, sacrifices and results:
Priority list
-
Voluntary armed resistance fighters and martyrs (8th front) active in
phase 1 (the family of martyrs). Many of these individuals have voluntarily gone
through much hardship included state and MSM persecution, ridicule, torture,
imprisonment, psychological trauma etc. Many have been killed and many more
driven to suicide the last 40 years. In cases where individuals are dead
compensation must be forwarded to the closest family given that they have
supported the cause ideologically.
-
Voluntary members of front 1-7: Voluntary journalists, essay/article writers,
teachers, coaches, lecturers, professors, politicians, community voices such as
NGO leaders/members, artists, intellectuals and other community debaters. Also
bloggers and various online activists, church leaders and street activists.
Voluntary investors who funded various related projects will have their
investment refunded with interest.
Already compensated individuals will be compensated appropriately based on
results and general efforts made.
All members of the 8 different fronts in Europe should and must work actively to
free political cultural conservative prisoners (from all fronts, front 8
included) in all phases of the civil war (1, 2 and 3). This includes Serbian war
heroes in international prisons (condemned in the
International Criminal Court in the
Hague).
Also, keep in mind that there will be thousands of housing units available after
the deportation of the Muslims begins in phase 3.
The long term goal of the redistributive policies should include creating
incentives for procreation (degree depending on how many Europeans succumbed
during the civil war).
Since I am one of the first to present this compensation programme it can be
argued that I am incompetent on the mature. As such, I hereby refuse to accept
any future compensation (on behalf of myself or my family) in order to
strengthen the argument. Protecting the justification of a future compensation
programme for voluntary service is logical and necessary and will result in more
recruits from otherwise opportunistic and unwilling right wing candidates.
Creating incentives is always a good idea.
National incentive programmes in an international context
When we, the cultural conservatives, again control Western Europe within 50-90
years the plan to liberate Serbia and Croatia (Bosnia Herzegovina, Kosovo,
Albania, the Muslim controlled Assyrian Nation, Muslim controlled Lebanon, the
Egypt controlled Coptic Nation, Syrian controlled Israel and Turkish occupied
Greece and Armenia will commence. This will obviously be a beneficial venture
for Hungary, Serbia, Croatia, Greece and Armenia. Furthermore the Christian
Azzyrians, the Christian Lebanese, the Christian Copts and the Romani People
will finally get their much deserved homeland.
But why should Western Europe send tens of thousands of soldiers when we don’t
get anything in return?
We will initiate this Crusade to protect eastern Christendom and to honour our
friends and brothers, not because we profit from it but because we know that
they would do it for us. Think of it as a European solidarity project. It will
be a celebration of solidarity among European Christian brothers. We will
collectively grow stronger as we head out to undue something that should have
been done in 1453 during the siege of Constantinople.
“A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves... And
include all men capable of bearing arms.”
- RICHARD HENRY LEE - (1788)
In political philosophy the right to revolution (or 'right of rebellion' or
'right to resistance') is first articulated by the Monarchomachs in the context
of the French Wars of Religion, and is essentially the natural right of
preservation. It was later taken up by John Locke in Two Treatises of
Government as part of his social contract theory. Locke wrote that the
people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against
the interests of citizens and replace it with another. The right to revolution
was cited in the US Declaration of Independence:
We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that
they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among
these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just Powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of
Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is in the Right of the People
to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new Government, laying its Foundation
on such Principles, and organising its Powers in such Form, as to them shall
seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence indeed, will
dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and
transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are
more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by
abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of
Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to
reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to
throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.
The right to revolution helps explain the purpose of the Second Amendment of the
United States Constitution, which guarantees the right of "the people" to bear
arms as part of a well regulated militia. It follows that if the people have a
right to overthrow a despotic government then they have a right to possess the
practical means to do so. The great advantage of a well armed and regulated
militia is the deterrent effect, which greatly reduces the likelihood that the
people will ever need to exercise their right to revolution, thus preserving
liberty without bloodshed.
Duty of Disloyalty
Like Locke and Thoreau, Gandhi believed that the quest for freedom incurs an
obligation to oppose an oppressive government, which he called the "duty of
disloyalty", when the state fails to represent the people's interests and needs:
"Disobedience of the law of an evil state is therefore a duty". Gandhi moved
beyond Thoreau by contending that the freedom struggle demands active
participation in community action to stop said evil, primarily through
non-violent action as he believed citizens had a duty to preserve order and
peace to prevent bloodshed.
A revolt every 50-100 years keeps the government from stagnating and societies
from deteriorating. Why the US Founding Fathers gave the Americans the Second
Amendment.
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms
is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
Thomas Jefferson
The Founding Fathers gave Americans the Second Amendment not to protect them
from criminals, but by allowing them to rebel against their government should it
be necessary.
People are almost always susceptible to corruption or egotism. So in any state,
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist or not, leaders can deviate from the defined
path, and manipulate laws and the state in order to fit their personal agenda.
That is why the people must take it upon themselves to topple oppressive regimes
through force and reinstate a functional government.
George Washington himself supported the stance that armed revolts every so often
were necessary to keep the government from stagnating, being corrupted or
deteriorating.
Every patriotic European has a duty to contribute to the fall of the current
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist regime through any and all means necessary.
Unfortunately, the great majority of European patriots will, however, not be
willing to consider armed resistance at this point (phase 1). Nevertheless,
there are still ways that ordinary people can contribute to weaken the regime.
-
Avoid paying more tax than you have to, if you see a loophole – use it. If you
have the possibility to prevent taxation through illegal means – do it (as long
as you know you will get away with it of course). If you have the opportunity to
burden the system, even if your situation does not require it, do it.
These approaches are known as economical resistance methods. They represent
methods ordinary patriots can use to contribute to burden and thereby weaken the
system whenever an opportunity arises.
Do whatever you can to avoid unnecessary taxation, even it means breaking the
law. Because if you are contributing to sustain the system you are basically
funding and facilitating the multiculturalist elites agenda allowing them to
continue to sell their people into Islamic slavery.
The system itself, as long as it is controlled by the multiculturalist criminal
network - he regime, is the enemy and the very least everyone should do is to
make it as hard for them to collect taxes for their “war chest” as humanly
possible.

National Intelligence Activity
The National Intelligence Agency (NIA) in your country are annually surveilling
as many as 1000 per million individuals who are flagged (on so called watch
lists). These individuals are usually well known right wing (NS and/or other
nationalists) or left wing (Communist/Anarchist/Islamist) individuals, which are
considered a threat against the government and/or constitution.
Collection
is the gathering of information using methods such as:
Open source intelligence
– the assembling of openly available information, such as that provided in the
media and academic journals.
Human intelligence
– information collected from agents, defectors, informants, diplomats; or from
reports from counterintelligence operations, interrogations, discussions with
foreign personnel, etc.; and
Technical intelligence
– data and information collected through:
-
Intercepts
-
Monitoring and localising of radio, microwave, radar and other means of
electromagnetic emission
-

International and national terrorist databases -
The TIDE register[1]
Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (TIDE) is the US governments central
repository of information on international terrorist identities. TIDE supports
the US governments various terrorist screening systems or “watchlists”. The
Terrorist Identities Group (TIG), located in NCTCs Information Sharing &
Knowledge Development Directorate (ISKD), is responsible for building and
maintaining TIDE.
The TIDE database includes the identities of individuals known or suspected to
be or have been involved in activities constituting, in preparation for, in aid
of, or related to politically motivated violence, with the exception of Purely
Domestic Terrorism information.
The database contains 564 000 names, (500 000) separate identities due to
aliases/name variants. US persons including both citizens and legal permanent
residents make up less than five percent (25 000) of the listings.
In 2008 more than 27 000 names were removed from TIDE when it was determined tha
they no longer met the criteria for inclusion.

Interrogation techniques
Different types of human subjects will share information voluntarily or
involuntarily. The interrogator builds a relationship with the subject, a
relationship that can be based on trust, fear, friendship, or any of a range of
human emotions. Prisoners have an understandable fear of what may happen, and,
contrary to "tough guy" images, it can be important to relax him and, to the
extent possible, put him at ease.
Physical pressure will often yield a confession, true or false, but what an
intelligence interrogation seeks is a continuing flow of information.
Assuming the subject (prisoner) has been under guard, the screener often can get
valuable information about the subject's behaviour from the guards. They can
tell the screener how the source has responded to orders, what requests have
been made by the source, what behaviour has been demonstrated by the source, and
so forth. Along with the basic contact information, such observations can be
extremely helpful to the interrogator, who can study the information before the
interview. Having background on the subject helps the interrogator retain the
initiative in an interview.
Again for prisoners, screeners should examine the documents captured with the
source and any documents pertaining to the source.
If the subject is voluntary and providing documents, they may even be
more valuable. Screeners may need to get help from linguists or document
specialists in understanding the material. If the documents have insignia or
other graphics, these should be compared with an existing graphics register, and
added to it if they are new.
Documents captured with the source (identification card, letters, map sections,
and so forth) can provide information that identifies the source, his
organisation, his mission, and other personal background (family, knowledge,
experience, and so forth). This information can be used to verify information
from documents captured with the source and further assess his willingness to
cooperate. When examining documents, screeners should look for items that will
indicate whether the source is cooperative or willing to cooperate based on any
specific personal interest.
If the source has information pertaining to new foreign material, contact
appropriate TECHINT specialists, and if the source has information of target
exploitation interest, contact the appropriate staff members who deal with
targeting. These specialists are not necessarily qualified interrogators and may
need to meet jointly with the subject and interrogator, or pass questions to the
interrogator.
Selecting potential sources (interrogation and counter intelligence)
It involves evaluating an individual, or group of individuals, "to determine
their potential to answer [intelligence] collection requirements or to identify
individuals who match a predetermined source profile. The goal of the process is
to identify individuals who may have information of interest, and are willing or
can be persuaded to cooperate. Willing individuals will undergo debriefing and
unwilling people may be interrogated.
Screening techniques also can select individuals who may be prospects to collect
intelligence or work, in other ways, with the HUMINT organisation or its
sponsor. Individuals may also be identified who are of interest to
counterintelligence or to technical intelligence specialists.
It is likely that an individual with wife/girlfriend/children will be targeted
as potential sources as they are viewed as more susceptible to bribes/pressure
than single men.
NIA strategy against right wing groups
Promoting individual disengagement from conservative/nationalist groups by
reinforcing motivations and reducing obstacles to leaving.
Providing attractive alternatives to a continued life outside the
conservative/nationalist scene (The carrot-and-stick approach).
Contacting parents/relatives/school/work place and initiate a campaign of
psychological pressure from multiple fronts against target individual.
Breaking up networks by reinforcing inherent tendencies of group dissolution
(e.g. undermine status and authority of leaders, and isolate them from
followers, reduce the networks cohesiveness and attraction value, promote splits
and internal conflicts).
By combining several such approaches the National Intelligence Agencies have
managed to interrupt or destroy several groups.
The NIA "catch-and-release program" (anti-insurgency tactic)
This type of counterinsurgency method acts as a method to create reluctance or
distrust in such suspects with the hopes of preventing them from further acts or
involvement in right wing organisations, and perhaps more importantly, attempt
to create distrust among the people who has been arrested. No one will know for
sure if anyone has accepted to work as a ”undercover EUSSR agent” for incentives
or types of bribes.
The NIA "catch-and-release program" can only be used against ”known”
participants in right wing organisations. They hope to prevent re-entry into a
militia group or cell as a trusted member and they hope that this will most
likely limit the further trust and assignments of close cell associates still at
large.
Regarding Phase 1
We know that more than 60% of the police officers in Europe sympathise with our
cause and that even more, around 90%, empathise with it. Our cause being
“striking” the enablers that are currently facilitating the Islamic colonization
of our countries.
Know this; we do not wish to put you at risk or cause harm to you in any way. We
consider you as brothers and sisters who are unfortunate enough to have chosen
to serve the “enablers”, the Multiculturalist Alliance, our government and the
constitution.
If possible we will address you on the standard police frequency during any
operation (in order to prevent the harm of innocent police officers or our
agents for that matter). We ask that you either join us or get out of our way,
allowing any Justiciar Knights to complete their missions. Use creative and
indirect methods at your own discretion; “Your radio not working”, “caught in
traffic”, or avoiding “short cuts” are all excellent methods of preventing armed
confrontations with any Knights Templar.
Normally we will have specific objectives that are limited to striking
concentrations of class A and B traitors with minimal civilian casualties. Trust
our judgement for we have planned the operation thouroughly for months or even
years.
However, if you for various reasons do decide to follow your orders and
contribute to hunt down and stop any Justiciar Knight, they will assume that you
have hostile intentions and act accordingly. They will not allow you to put the
operation at risk.
Know that in this critical and vulnerable phase of our armed resistance, we do
not have the luxury of acting in a flexible manner.
We are forced to act effectively, mercilessly and without hesitation. The
outcome of any confrontation will be death, either to you or to the Justiciar
Knight. Know that if you cause injury or death to any Justiciar Knight you are
not only committing a crime against that individual but you are committing a
crime/treason against all nationalist Europeans. You are violating the wishes of
the free indigenous peoples of Europe by assisting and protecting the
multiculturalist establishment. You will un-doubtfully be punished for your
crimes as soon as we, the cultural conservatives, seize power in Western Europe.
So be vigilant. Help us indirectly or stay out of our way.
Your role in Phase 2
Same as Phase 1. Several police officers will be active within the cultural
conservative movements.
Your role in Phase 3
You are now finally able to support the resistance movement directly with
limited risks. If possible, contact the military commander who leads your local
resistance organisation/militia and sign up for duty. Know that some of your
colleagues will still support the cultural Marxists. It is not only your right,
but your duty to rally as many colleagues as you can and contact the resistance
movement/cultural conservative forces for instructions. Be certain that the
colleagues you have recruited can be trusted. Attempting to infiltrate
the resistance movement in any way can be fatal for you and your family.
We do not have the resources to allow ourselves the luxury of the general rules
of war, allowing us to show compassion and flexibility, so we have to react
effective and often brutally.
A request to you
To any police prison guard, police officer or other law enforcement agent
reading this; know that it is your duty to indirectly facilitate any and all
Justiciar Knights (look the other way when the time comes, blame incompetence or
ignorance). You should know by now that we, the patriotic Justiciar Knights, are
fighting the good fight, YOUR FIGHT, for you, so that you and your family may
have a chance to live in a future society that is not suffering under or is
controlled by Islam. If you contribute to the persecution or apprehension of a
Justiciar Knight, know that you are not only betraying your country, your
people, your culture, your identity and your ancestors. You are betraying your
self and your children as well! So when the time comes, look the other way. That
is all we ask.
I don’t know much about the status of this rumoured consolidation project. One
of my mentors from PCCTS told me something about this a few years ago. The
intention is to temporarily (through phase 1-3) but indirectly consolidate all
anti-Marxist military forces/organisations/cells: 1. Militant cultural
conservatives, 2. militant “right wing” liberalists, militant Christian
extremists, militant ethno-centrists and other groups.
We all agree that multiculturalism is an anti-European/Christian hate ideology
designed to exterminate European identities, our cultures/traditions and
European nation states. This hate ideology (coupled with suicidal humanist
tendencies) is the cause of the current Islamisation (with the exception of
certain factions who believe it is due to ZOG…)
The problem, I would imagine, is how each faction relates to totalitarian ideas,
ethnocentrism and especially our relation to Jews. Some of the factions are
pro-democracy, -Christendom, -capitalism, -multiethnicity and pro-Israel/Jews
while other groups are strongly against.
Who will dominate a future “Young Europeans” movement?
The common consensus seems to be that we should focus less on our indifferences
temporarily in order to fully focus on securing the survival/safety of our
people/cultures/traditions/countries/Christendom.
In any case; it is only logical that we save the infighting until after phase 3.
We can never allow the cultural Marxists to play divide and conquer with the
various factions. It will undoubtfully be certain infighting after the
Marxists/suicidal humanists/capitalist globalists have been defeated though.
The NS are generally pro Muslim and anti Jewish. They should know that we will
defend our right wing Jewish and other non-Muslim minority groups, who have
fought by our side with our lives as they will do the same for us. It is still
too early to tell how the situation will develop. A relationship is always
reciprocal so we, the pro-multiethnicity and pro-Israel/Jewish factions, do in
fact expect future support from all non-Muslim right wing minority groups and
indirect support from the Israeli right wing. We will rely on their support in
order to be able to dominate the European right wing for the future - because if
we fail, they will lose their only interest groups and allies.
At the moment, I’m worried that ethnocentric ideologies will become more
dominant in Western Europe the coming decades. The main reason is that the
non-ethnocentric factions on the right wing are not getting enough support from
their own base and from right wing minority groups (as these minority groups
fail to distinguish non-racist right wingers from actual Nazis/racists due to
the media propaganda campaigns and their own paranoia. If the cultural Marxist/
suicidal humanist elites had any decency whatsoever they would at least stop the
“all nationalists=Nazis, racists campaigns” and perhaps even arrange a gradual
controlled re-distribution of power to moderate right wing groups/political
parties. Their total and complete reluctance to deal with any
traditionalist/nationalist is radicalising an increasing number of people. Due
to their propaganda campaigns the obvious result is that people become apathetic
and/or are drawn to actual Nazi and racist groups.
Future “Nuremberg trials”
It’s important to keep in mind that the future European “Nuremberg trials” which
will be held when the European
cultural conservatives
reassert control of their territories has the potential to be a very bloody
process. The cultural Marxists/pro-Multiculturalists
will not be “lightly treated”.
Individuals or groups who have actively supported the EU’s Eurabia project
(European multiculturalism/Islamisation of Europe) and the so called
“anti-racist witch hunts” will be punished severely for their crimes.
This is especially aimed at multiculturalists in the political, intellectual,
religious, media, teaching and publishing apparatus.
National, regional and local knowledge may be required
Considering the fact that national, regional or even local knowledge is required
when evaluating targets it is generally advised that ”foreign” Justiciar Knights
do not ignorantly act based on rumours or lacking intelligence when launching
operations on ”unfamiliar grounds”. In many cases it can be difficult for a
Spanish Justiciar Knight to fully comprehend f. example the political system in
Sweden and vice versa. A Justiciar Knight should NEVER act blindly on external
intelligence sources but should do his own research in order to confirm all
relevant information when evaluating and selecting targets. People do make
mistakes when preparing intelligence reports and all information should be
thoroughly evaluated by a credible and competent individual who possesses
national, regional or local knowledge.
Alternative areas to study
System disruption
Effective use of system disruption with the goal of completely shutting down an
important process/production facility and delay and/or halt repairs.
Hostage taking
Effective use of hostages to coerce both the government and the multinationals.
Swarm-based maneuvers
A more sophisticated approach where we are quickly attacking targets in
succession. Multiple, highly maneuverable units can keep the government's
defensive systems (police/SWAT) off-balance defending their sprawling networks
(Phase 2 strategy)
Actions which are considered counter-productive
Random violence against Muslims is considered counter-productive and will only
create more sympathy for Islam at best. Random racist violence against people of
colour (non-Muslims) is even worse. Not only does it undermine everything the
movement stands for, it labels you as racist and a violent bigot. Be especially
aware of people of the peaceful faiths - Jews, Buddhists, Hindus etc as they are
considered allies against the Global Islamic Ummah.
Military efforts involving several nations
Very often it will be beneficial to plan and organise an attack from a bordering
country. F example as a Norwegian, there are many benefits of doing much of the
work relating to the organisation of a specific operation from Sweden (f example
in Western rural Sweden). It is much easier to stay of the Norwegian NIAs radar
(national intelligence agency) if you are located in another country as
cross-border planning/organisation will complicate any efforts of surveillance
or will in any case reduce the chance of the operation being compromised.
Operations swap
A national resistance commander or cell commander can at any given time initiate
an operation-swap with a neighbouring country’s cell commander if both parties
are willing. By doing so, and by combining this with cross-country planning they
will increase their chances of success. Obviously, the general rules of
confidentiality will still apply so no one will have any sensitive information
about the other parts plan.
“HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.”
W.B. Yeats (1865–1939)
This chapter is not yet complete
due to the complexity of the various aspects relating to solutions for Western
Europe. I have, however, covered the basics of several relevant topics.
6 decades of the Marxist doctrines of cultural relativism/pluralism and
egalitarian thinking has severely infected especially the Protestant church in
Europe.
This has resulted in a situation where a majority of Protestants, me included,
have lost all respect for the Protestant church.
An increasing number of European Protestants are converting to Catholicism. Only
by turning to Rome may Protestants be able to see some of the shortcomings of
our espoused faith.
Here is a list of reasons why Catholicism is a better alternative:
The Church cannot survive in a cultural Marxist society
A cultural Marxist society defies and rejects supernaturalism and tradition and
thus does what they can to gradually deconstruct the Church and the role of the
Church. For modernist Protestants (or also referred to as the Labour Party
Church) religion is a matter of fighting for equal rights, making the world a
better place, being kind to everyone and 'spirituality'. It doesn't take very
long for people to realise that you don't have to go to church for that. So
people stop going, and that eventually means the death of modernist
Christianity. The first generation of modernist Christians will attend church
regularly. The second will attend church sometimes. The third almost never. The
fourth and fifth will not see any need for worship. They will conclude that if
religion is no more than good works, then the religious ritual is redundant.
The “Labour Party Protestant Church” is subjective and sentimentalist
It eschews doctrine and favours individual spirituality and sentimental
responses to doctrines and moral issues. It is not long, therefore, before the
individualist and sentimentalist inclinations drive a person from a church that
is dogmatic and demanding. Modernists will prefer their own spirituality and
emotional experiences to any sort of formal religious commitment. Thus the
modern admission, "I'm interested in spirituality but not religion." When this
attitude prevails, modernist religion dies.
The Protestant Church is historically revisionist
They re-write history according to their prejudices. In religious terms this
means they are cut off from tradition. They are therefore cut off from the
life-stream of real religion. As they cut themselves off from the tradition they
will only have the latest religious gimmick, fad or adaptation to contemporary
culture. Such an ephemeral attitude cannot provide for long term sustained
religious longevity.
Cultural Marxism contracept and abort
They don't have enough children to train up in their religion, and those
children they do have are often taught that freedom of choice is a higher virtue
than commitment or duty in religion. So they will lose the next generation to
either real religion or paganism. The Protestant Church allows moral degeneracy
and that saps the strength out of real religion. Devotees of the Church demand
moral purity, self discipline and restraint. Real religion requires self
discipline.
The Protestant church makes no demands
The Protestant Church makes no great demands for its devotees to be religious.
Ask any modernist Protestant, "Why should I come to Church?" What would he
answer? "You don't have to come to church. It's there if you want it. If it does
you good, and makes you feel better, we're here to serve you." Priests wring
their hands and wonder why no one comes to Church anymore. It's because for
forty years they've been saying, "It's not really a mortal sin to miss Church.
You should come because you love God, not because you fear him." While this
sentiment may be laudable, they shouldn't therefore be surprised if no one comes
to Church.
The Rock of Tradition
Many Protestant converts embrace the Tradition of the Roman Catholic Church and
contend that this Tradition sets the Catholic Faith apart from its Protestant
counterpart. Catholicism is far "richer" than anything Protestantism can offer,
since only Rome can lay claim to apostolic succession and living Tradition as an
infallible guide to interpreting Holy Writ.
Only Rome is the true church, since only Rome can lay claim to apostolic
succession dating back to Peter, the rock, per the sixteenth chapter of Matthew
("...you are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church..."). Only the
Roman Catholic Church is rooted and grounded in this ancient apostolic
tradition. Thus, "there is no fully Christian church but the one that was there
from the beginning. By cutting
itself off from this unbroken chain of succession dating back to Peter,
Protestantism was adrift from the beginning. And given the maturity of the
"Mother Church," the Protestant Reformation was really nothing more than a kind
of teen-age rebellion.
Sure, Martin Luther was an essential figure and it is thanks to the Protestant
revolution that Europe was “allowed to become” the technological and scientific
superpower it is. Hadn’t it been for the separation of Church and state we may
have still lived in the dark ages.
The Protestant reformation/revolution was needed and has resulted in the
following positive changes (all these changes have been adopted by the Catholic
countries/Catholic church as well):
-
The partial separation of Church and state (significantly limiting the political
power of the Church)
-
Allowing European countries/companies all rights in regards to research and
development (scientific evolution).
-
Removing corrupt policies relating to indulgences/absolution (financial
compensation to avoid purgatory or the practice of indulgences being sold)
-
Allowing mass to be held on non-Latin languages
The Role of Tradition
A few important factors is the apostolic succession and to the antiquity of the
Roman Catholic Church. However, Scripture was never intended to be the
believer's sole guide for all of faith and practice; for all that he believes
and does. Scripture and Tradition belong together as well.
Scriptures lack of relation to Church
Christ left a church, not a book, and that the Protestant doctrine of
Sola
Scriptura
(by scripture alone) is illogical because the formation of the canon
(i.e. what we recognise as Scripture) was itself a monumental act of the church.
Thus, the Bible requires an infallible church.
Lack of guide to scripture
The church is a necessary guide to the meaning of Scripture. If the
Constitution, as a relatively simple human text, needs the Supreme Court as its
interpretive guide, then all the more does Scripture need the Catholic Church as
its interpretive guide.
Lack of interpretational authority
The Protestant doctrine of
Sola
Scriptura leads to an "incipient subjectivism" since without
Tradition, each man becomes his own authority and interpreter of Scripture. This
has resulted in competing interpretations in the Protestant marketplace
resulting in various directions of Protestantism.
Authority and Authoritativeness
Authority, in all of our daily experiences, means a person or institution
empowered to enforce a rule.
Sola
scriptura is in a sense a philosophical sleight of hand. A book by
its nature can only be
authoritative, not an authority.
Ironically, it was the first pope, the apostle Peter, who pointed out the rather
obvious fact that Scripture is not necessarily self-explanatory; it can be
twisted by the unscrupulous to support any theological position (2 Peter 3:16).
Protestantism leads to the disintegration of the Church
A liberal Protestant church with little or no authority results in chaos and
therefore indirectly contributes to spawn a multitude of sects/denominations.
There are now more than 25 000 Protestant sects and the number is growing![1]
Liturgical Longings
High church liturgy (much more dignified rituals known to Protestants as
“service/communion”), is a common feature of Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox
churches. The Reformed and Evangelical Protestant churches are missing out on an
essential part, the fullness and richness of high church liturgy. The
traditional Christian components such as the Mass and the Eucharist are
essential.
To quote a Catholic:
“The splendour of Roman Catholic liturgy or the “vision” of the Roman Catholic
Church is immense. It is full of glory and dignity. It is un-supportedly bright.
But not only this: it is
present
in the Mass. ... But it is only in the liturgy...that the whole
drama is unfurled and the scrim of temporality is pierced, and we begin to see
both the abyss and the Sapphire Throne. It is very hard to keep this vision
alive in non-liturgical worship.”
Liturgy, for the most part, is the same no matter which Catholic Church a
parishioner attends. The Catholic can worship at any Catholic Church and
discover there is basically the same order of worship, the same symbolism, and
the same ritual.
Protestant churches have communion only a few times each year while Catholics
has it on a weekly basis.
Love at First Sight- Aesthetic divinity and dignity
Many new Protestant churches lack the Aesthetic divinity and dignity a church
should have. Many of these churches resemble minimalistic shopping malls, some
even look like bomb shelters.
High steeples, glorious columns, stained glass windows depicting former
Christian saints and martyrs; no doubt these are beautiful things to behold.
People are drawn to the richness of Catholic symbolism expressed in the
architectural beauty of Catholic churches.
We Protestants correctly talk about our church building as “God's house”, but
our church interiors resembled auditoriums, whereas you will immediately be
struck by a different ambience inside Catholic churches: there is a permeating
“divine presence”, the candlelight, kneeling saints, statues, and wonderful
altars, even when no worship is in progress.
Protestants need to learn that worshipping God is something which involves their
entire being. And Protestants also need to learn that symbolism is, in a sense,
inescapable.
Catholicism/Protestantism and multiculturalism/internationalism/ suicidal
humanism
Today’s European Church leaders (both Catholic and Protestant) are mostly
internationalists/multiculturalists and socially and theologically on the left
(obviously Protestants more so than Catholics). They are more concerned with the
welfare of Jihadists, the so called Palestinians in particular then the
persecuted Christians around the world. They ignore persecuted Christian
minorities in the Middle East and in Africa. This is unacceptable and our future
European Church will reflect our political doctrines. They should be
compassionate but first and foremost towards other Christians.
Catholics themselves often buy into the non-Christian aspects of political
leftism. Their leftism, to be quite blunt, is often born of an unparalleled
theological naiveté. A church leader who fails to understand the essential
Islamic doctrines of Taqiiya and Naskh and the subsequent threat posed by Islam
must be removed from office. No multiculturalist/suicidal humanist church
leaders will be allowed to spread their ideological poison in the future as they
will be replaced by conservatives. We cannot afford to allow suicidal naive
Church leaders sell Christians to Islamic slavery.
The future European Church must focus less on proletarian consciousness and
should adapt more of the Calvinistic views relating to national and local
industriousness (with the exception of globalist capitalism). Christian leftism
is ultimately based on a mistaken theological premise: that God has a
"preferential love for the poor." Scripture, however, informs us that God is no
respecter of persons. As such, true Christianity refuses to romanticise either
wealth or poverty (Prov. 30:8-9).
The contemporary definition of the Christian world view will be reformed to
correlate with nationalistic doctrines, allowing the national pursuit of
prosperity and allowing unlimited research and development relating to every
aspect of technology and science (including all aspects of biological research,
reprogenetics etc.).
The Pope, the ultimate knight of Christendom
When a just and conservative Pope mounts the chair of Peter, the tide will set
strongly toward Rome. We will hear of conversions on every hand. The joyful
radiance of this Popes appearance among us will be seen as nothing less than a
strong and just knight of Christianity. A Crusader Pope, a man who symbolises
and protects the persecuted Church. This new Pope will be a defender of
Christianity, and will not contribute to the annihilation of Christendom through
suicidal humanism.
Unity instead of diversity - Appeal to the Masses
The one (the Pope) appeals to the many, the united masses. There is no larger
unified group of professing Christians on the face of the earth than Catholics.
A just and strong Pope should be the religions and somewhat cultural and moral
authority for all Christians.
Egalitarian thought (extreme equality) leads to a Church stripped of authority
which causes Christians to lose whatever respect they had
The Protestant liberal Church defends and encourages the ordination of women,
divorce, abortion, the mass scale distribution of contraceptive pills and
contributes to glorify homosexuality (including the ordination of homosexuals).
When the Church resembles a minimalistic shopping mall, the female priest wears
jeans, defends abortion and the mass scale distribution of contraceptive pills,
defends the Jihad against the Israelis and lives a sexually active life; then
what is the point? We must go back to our Catholic roots. We, the protestant
nations of Europe should not forget that we were all Catholics once.
Future goal for the European Protestant Church
The goal must obviously not be to create a new theocracy. Europe will still
remain predominantly secular. However, the Churches primary role will be to
contribute to unity by offering cultural and spiritual opportunities. The Church
will once again be allowed to do what it was intended to do; to propagate and
maintain cultural unity through pre defined rituals and celebrations.
Christendom is after all the primary factor that unites all Europeans. We should
therefore strive to create a united Church through reforming it, which ends up
as a Church worthy of our respect.
To quote a Protestant convert to Catholicism:
“When asked what attracted me to Catholicism, I cannot say, for it wasn't
something
it was
everything. The art, the architecture, its antiquity, the nativity
scenes, the role of the mass, the beauty of the liturgy...the social conscience
of the Church, its prophetic role in our modern world, the lives of the saints,
the mystery, the presence of Christ, the sheer universality -- I was falling in
love -- and perfect love casts out all fear, if not all apprehension.
Explanations
Liturgy:
The word, which especially among Protestants is sometimes rendered by its
English translation "service", refers to an elaborate formal ritual such as the
Catholic Mass/Eucharist.
Eucharist:
The Eucharist, also called
Holy Communion,
Sacrament of the Table, the
Blessed Sacrament, or
The Lord's Supper, and other
names, is a Christian sacrament or ordinance, generally considered to be a
commemoration of the Last Supper, the final meal that Jesus Christ shared with
his disciples before his arrest and eventual crucifixion. The consecration of
bread and a cup within the rite recalls the moment at the Last Supper when Jesus
gave his disciples bread, saying, "This is my body", and wine, saying, "This is
my blood"
Mass:
Mass
is the usual English-language name for the Eucharistic celebration in the Latin
liturgical rites of the Catholic Church. The term is used also of similar
celebrations in Old Catholic Churches (a German schism from the 19th Century),
in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of Anglicanism, in many Lutheran churches, and
in a small number of High Church Methodist parishes.
The Mass and the Eucharist really can't be separated since the latter is the
central act -- the climax -- of the former.
Nativity scenes:
A nativity scene is a depiction
of the birth of Jesus as described in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. Living
nativity scenes, in which real people and animals participate, exhibit (at the
minimum) figures representing the infant Jesus, his mother Mary, and Mary's
husband, Joseph. Some nativity scenes include other characters from the Biblical
story such as shepherds, the Magi, and angels.
Some features of the dramas became part of both Catholic and Protestant
Christmas services with children often taking the parts of characters in the
nativity story. Nativity plays and pageants, culminating in living nativity
scenes, eventually entered public schools. Today, such exhibitions are
challenged on the grounds of separation of church and state.

Embracing Christendom will be voluntary (under normal circumstances). People who
chose to be atheists will enjoy the same rights. However, school curriculum and
government policies will propagate cultural conservative policies, European
traditionalism/Christendom much like European policies 40-60 years ago.
Preparing for the Great European Christian Congress
We cannot have a Vatican that trembles at the feet of the Islamic Ummah or a
Vatican that facilitates its own destruction without a fight. We must therefore
rid the Vatican of corrupt and even suicidal members and ensure that we have
Church leaders who believe in a sustainable and confident European Christendom.
We need a Christendom that believes in the fundamental concept of self defence
and that has the will and ambition to survive. We need Christian leaders who are
willing to call for defensive Crusades if any of our Christian brothers are
threatened by Jihad in the future. European Church leaders must not be afraid to
contact the media, political and military leaders and demand action.
The Great Christian Congress
A Christian Congress will be held with military leaders, political leaders and
Church leaders. The intention of the congress will be to create the foundation
for a future cultural and spiritual platform for Christendom in Europe. The
Church will have to give many concessions but will gain many privileges in
return.
Privileges granted
The Church will be granted “public monopoly” (school curriculum, government
policies) and Christendom will be the only official religion in European
countries much like European policies reflected 40-60 years ago.
The Church will gain x amounts of seats in the new Parliament but no veto
rights. They have a right and a duty to call for military Crusades if any
international Christian minority is being threatened by Jihad in other parts of
the World. Their advice should be taken under consideration by military leaders
and politicians.
They will have the right and the duty to assist our militaries in planning
Crusades for the benefit of liberating our Christian brothers in the Middle East
but can also assist elsewhere f example in the Philippines or in Sudan etc. if
as assistance has already been called for by Christian leaders. It is essential
that that we, the future conservative leaders of Western Europe, as soon as
humanly possible send military support to the leader of Southern Sudan, the
devoted Christian Catholic, Salva Kiir, who has been fighting against Jihad for
decades. Southern Sudan might be lost to the darkness of Islam if we do not
assist.
Concessions given
The Church and church leaders will not be allowed to influence non-cultural
political matters in any way. This includes science, research and development
and all non-cultural areas which will benefit Europe in the future. This will
also include all areas relating to procreation/birth/fertility policies and
related issues of scientific importance (reprogenetics). The Church will not be
allowed to use “humanism” to push Europe down the former fanatically egalitarian
path or use its influence to propagate a continuation of suicidal and
non-rational aid policies. Furthermore, the Church will not be allowed to
influence domestic issues relating to national security including the extended
use of the death penalty, new and enforced restrictions concerning immigration
and asylum practices.
The European Churches will be reformed
The current fanatically egalitarian, self loathing and suicidal Church of Europe
will be reformed, even if we will have to go back to our roots, to the Vulgate,
the Versio Vulgata [1] or the original pre-1611 King James Bible[2] which
represented a Christendom that propagated self defence against the infidel
Muslims.
Our illiterate, lazy culture has spilled over to many professing Christians who
have embraced the ways of the pacifist egalitarian. They are willing to read a
modified, pacifist, gender neutral Bible, missing what God says so that they can
continue to ignore their duties in regards to the ongoing Crusade (self
defence). Our modern Bible perversion was written by men using dynamic
equivalence. In other words, they are telling you their interpretation and their
doctrine, NOT what the manuscripts really say. This can be confirmed by
reviewing how the modern Church is using pacifist, fanatically egalitarian and
gender inclusive language. Fanatical egalitarianism, gender inclusivity and
pacifism wasn't in the original texts, in the original Bible. it is a modern,
feminist and cultural relativist concept born from the Marxist revolution.

The following essay by Phillip Longman further documents what Western European
right wing intellectuals have stated for more than two decades. The patriarchy
will return. The only remaining question for Western Europe is; Will the future
Europe be dominated by a Muslim or Christian patriarchy? Will the European
conservatives manage to seize power by military force or through a coup d’état
before the cultural Marxists and other suicidal liberals manages to sell the
peoples of Europe into Muslim slavery? We have only 20-70 years before we are
demographically overwhelmed by the hordes of Islam. Demography is king and
unless we manage to deport all Muslims from European soil within the next 20-70
years, Europe will be lost.
We sincerely hope that the multiculturalist regimes of Western Europe will
capitulate to conservative forces, in a relatively peaceful manner, before the
capitals of Europe once again lies in complete ruin. Unfortunately, our hope is
overshadowed by an instinct telling us that they will be unwilling to surrender,
as we are unwilling to surrender.
Europe will burn once more and rivers from the blood of patriots, tyrants and
traitors will flow through the streets. However, a new European cultural
renaissance will be born from the ashes. Islam and Marxism will not prevail.
The Return of the Patriarchy
By Phillip Longman
"If we could survive without a wife, citizens of Rome, all of us would do
without that nuisance." So proclaimed the Roman general, statesman, and censor
Quintus Caecilius Metellus Macedonicus, in 131 B.C. Still, he went on to plead,
falling birth-rates required that Roman men fulfil their duty to reproduce, no
matter how irritating Roman women might have become. "Since nature has so
decreed that we cannot manage comfortably with them, nor live in any way without
them, we must plan for our lasting preservation rather than for our temporary
pleasure."
With the number of human beings having increased more than six-fold in the past
200 years, the modern mind simply assumes that men and women, no matter how
estranged, will always breed enough children to grow the population -- at least
until plague or starvation sets in. It is an assumption that not only conforms
to our long experience of a world growing ever more crowded, but which also
enjoys the endorsement of such influential thinkers as Thomas Malthus and his
many modern acolytes.
Yet, for more than a generation now, well-fed, healthy, peaceful populations
around the world have been producing too few children to avoid population
decline. That is true even though dramatic improvements in infant and child
mortality mean that far fewer children are needed today (only about 2.1 per
woman in modern societies) to avoid population loss. Birthrates are falling far
below replacement levels in one country after the next -- from China, Japan,
Singapore, and South Korea, to Canada, the Caribbean, all of Europe, Russia, and
even parts of the Middle East.
Fearful of a future in which the elderly outnumber the young, many governments
are doing whatever they can to encourage people to have children. Singapore has
sponsored "speed dating" events, in hopes of bringing busy professionals
together to marry and procreate. France offers generous tax incentives for those
willing to start a family. In Sweden, the state finances day care to ease the
tension between work and family life. Yet, though such explicitly pronatal
policies may encourage people to have children at a younger age, there is little
evidence they cause people to have more children than they otherwise would. As
governments going as far back as imperial Rome have discovered, when cultural
and economic conditions discourage parenthood, not even a dictator can force
people to go forth and multiply.
Throughout the broad sweep of human history, there are many examples of people,
or classes of people, who chose to avoid the costs of parenthood. Indeed,
falling fertility is a recurring tendency of human civilization. Why then did
humans not become extinct long ago? The short answer is patriarchy.
Patriarchy does not simply mean that men rule. Indeed, it is a particular value
system that not only requires men to marry but to marry a woman of proper
station. It competes with many other male visions of the good life, and for that
reason alone is prone to come in cycles. Yet before it degenerates, it is a
cultural regime that serves to keep birthrates high among the affluent, while
also maximizing parents' investments in their children. No advanced civilization
has yet learned how to endure without it.
Through a process of cultural evolution, societies that adopted this particular
social system -- which involves far more than simple male domination --
maximized their population and therefore their power, whereas those that didn't
were either overrun or absorbed. This cycle in human history may be obnoxious to
the enlightened, but it is set to make a comeback.
The Conservative Baby Boom
The historical relation between patriarchy, population, and power has deep
implications for our own time. As the United States is discovering today in
Iraq, population is still power. Smart bombs, laser-guided missiles, and
unmanned drones may vastly extend the violent reach of a hegemonic power. But
ultimately, it is often the number of boots on the ground that changes history.
Even with a fertility rate near replacement level, the United States lacks the
amount of people necessary to sustain an imperial role in the world, just as
Britain lost its ability to do so after its birthrates collapsed in the early
20th century. For countries such as China, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain, in
which one-child families are now the norm, the quality of human capital may be
high, but it has literally become too rare to put at risk.
Falling fertility is also responsible for many financial and economic problems
that dominate today's headlines. The long-term financing of social security
schemes, private pension plans, and healthcare systems has little to do with
people living longer. Gains in life expectancy at older ages have actually been
quite modest, and the rate of improvement in the United States has diminished
for each of the last three decades. Instead, the falling ratio of workers to
retirees is overwhelmingly caused by workers who were never born. As governments
raise taxes on a dwindling working-age population to cover the growing burdens
of supporting the elderly, young couples may conclude they are even less able to
afford children than their parents were, thereby setting off a new cycle of
population aging and decline.
Declining birthrates also change national temperament. In the United States, for
example, the percentage of women born in the late 1930s who remained childless
was near 10 percent. By comparison, nearly 20 percent of women born in the late
1950s are reaching the end of their reproductive lives without having had
children. The greatly expanded childless segment of contemporary society, whose
members are drawn disproportionately from the feminist and countercultural
movements of the 1960s and 70s, will leave no genetic legacy. Nor will their
emotional or psychological influence on the next generation compare with that of
their parents.
Meanwhile, single-child families are prone to extinction. A single child
replaces one of his or her parents, but not both. Nor do single-child families
contribute much to future population. The 17.4 percent of baby boomer women who
had only one child account for a mere 7.8 percent of children born in the next
generation. By contrast, nearly a quarter of the children of baby boomers
descend from the mere 11 percent of baby boomer women who had four or more
children. These circumstances are leading to the emergence of a new society
whose members will disproportionately be descended from parents who rejected the
social tendencies that once made childlessness and small families the norm.
These values include an adherence to traditional, patriarchal religion, and a
strong identification with one's own folk or nation.
This dynamic helps explain, for example, the gradual drift of American culture
away from secular individualism and toward religious fundamentalism. Among
states that voted for President George W. Bush in 2004, fertility rates are 12
percent higher than in states that voted for Sen. John Kerry. It may also help
to explain the increasing popular resistance among rank-and-file Europeans to
such crown jewels of secular liberalism as the European Union. It turns out that
Europeans who are most likely to identify themselves as "world citizens" are
also those least likely to have children.
Does this mean that today's enlightened but slow-breeding societies face
extinction? Probably not, but only because they face a dramatic, demographically
driven transformation of their cultures. As has happened many times before in
history, it is a transformation that occurs as secular and libertarian elements
in society fail to reproduce, and as people adhering to more traditional,
patriarchal values inherit society by default.
At least as long ago as ancient Greek and Roman times, many sophisticated
members of society concluded that investing in children brought no advantage.
Rather, children came to be seen as a costly impediment to self-fulfilment and
worldly achievement. But, though these attitudes led to the extinction of many
individual families, they did not lead to the extinction of society as a whole.
Instead, through a process of cultural evolution, a set of values and norms that
can roughly be described as patriarchy re-emerged.
Demography is king
In the primordial past, to be sure, most societies did not coerce reproduction,
because they had to avoid breeding faster than the wild game on which they fed.
Indeed, in almost all the hunter-gatherer societies that survived long enough to
be studied by anthropologists, such as the Eskimos and Tasmanian Bushmen, one
finds customs that in one way or another discouraged population growth. In
various combinations, these have included late marriage, genital mutilation,
abortion, and infanticide. Some early hunter-gatherer societies may have also
limited population growth by giving women high-status positions. Allowing at
least some number of females to take on roles such as priestess, sorcerer,
oracle, artist, and even warrior would have provided meaningful alternatives to
motherhood and thereby reduced overall fertility to within sustainable limits.
During the eons before agriculture emerged, there was little or no military
reason to promote high fertility. War and conquests could bring little advantage
to society. There were no granaries to raid, no livestock to steal, no use for
slaves except rape. But with the coming of the Neolithic agricultural
revolution, starting about 11,000 years ago, everything changed. The
domestication of plants and animals led to vastly increased food supplies.
Surplus food allowed cities to emerge, and freed more people to work on projects
such as building pyramids and developing a written language to record history.
But the most fateful change rendered by the agricultural revolution was the way
it turned population into power. Because of the relative abundance of food, more
and more societies discovered that the greatest demographic threat to their
survival was no longer overpopulation, but underpopulation.
At that point, instead of dying of starvation, societies with high fertility
grew in strength and number and began menacing those with lower fertility. In
more and more places in the world, fast-breeding tribes morphed into nations and
empires and swept away any remaining, slow-breeding hunters and gatherers. It
mattered that your warriors were fierce and valiant in battle; it mattered more
that there were lots of them.
That was the lesson King Pyrrhus learned in the third century B.C., when he
marched his Greek armies into the Italian peninsula and tried to take on the
Romans. Pyrrhus initially prevailed at a great battle at Asculum. But it was, as
they say, "a Pyrrhic victory," and Pyrrhus could only conclude that "another
such victory over the Romans and we are undone." The Romans, who by then were
procreating far more rapidly than were the Greeks, kept pouring in
reinforcements -- "as from a fountain continually flowing out of the city," the
Greek historian Plutarch tells us. Hopelessly outnumbered, Pyrrhus went on to
lose the war, and Greece, after falling into a long era of population decline,
eventually became a looted colony of Rome.
Like today's modern, well-fed nations, both ancient Greece and Rome eventually
found that their elites had lost interest in the often dreary chores of family
life. "In our time all Greece was visited by a dearth of children and a general
decay of population," lamented the Greek historian Polybius around 140 B.C.,
just as Greece was giving in to Roman domination. "This evil grew upon us
rapidly, and without attracting attention, by our men becoming perverted to a
passion for show and money and the pleasures of an idle life." But, as with
civilizations around the globe, patriarchy, for as long as it could be
sustained, was the key to maintaining population and, therefore, power.
Father Knows Best?
Patriarchal societies come in many varieties and evolve through different
stages. What they have in common are customs and attitudes that collectively
serve to maximize fertility and parental investment in the next generation. Of
these, among the most important is the stigmatization of "illegitimate"
children. One measure of the degree to which patriarchy has diminished in
advanced societies is the growing acceptance of out-of-wedlock births, which
have now become the norm in Scandinavian countries, for example.
Under patriarchy, "bastards" and single mothers cannot be tolerated because they
undermine male investment in the next generation. Illegitimate children do not
take their fathers' name, and so their fathers, even if known, tend not to take
any responsibility for them. By contrast, "legitimate" children become a source
of either honour or shame to their fathers and the family line. The notion that
legitimate children belong to their fathers' family, and not to their mothers',
which has no basis in biology, gives many men powerful emotional reasons to want
children, and to want their children to succeed in passing on their legacy.
Patriarchy also leads men to keep having children until they produce at least
one son.
Another key to patriarchy's evolutionary advantage is the way it penalizes women
who do not marry and have children. Just decades ago in the English-speaking
world, such women were referred to, even by their own mothers, as spinsters or
old maids, to be pitied for their barrenness or condemned for their selfishness.
Patriarchy made the incentive of taking a husband and becoming a full-time
mother very high because it offered women few desirable alternatives.
To be sure, a society organized on such principles may well degenerate over time
into misogyny, and eventually sterility, as occurred in both ancient Greece and
Rome. In more recent times, the patriarchal family has also proved vulnerable to
the rise of capitalism, which profits from the diversion of female labour from
the house to the workplace. But as long as the patriarchal system avoids
succumbing to these threats, it will produce a greater quantity of children, and
arguably children of higher quality, than do societies organized by other
principles, which is all that evolution cares about.
This claim is contentious. Today, after all, we associate patriarchy with the
hideous abuse of women and children, with poverty and failed states. Taliban
rebels or Muslim fanatics in Nigeria stoning an adulteress to death come to
mind. Yet these are examples of insecure societies that have degenerated into
male tyrannies, and they do not represent the form of patriarchy that has
achieved evolutionary advantage in human history. Under a true patriarchal
system, such as in early Rome or 17th-century Protestant Europe, fathers have
strong reason to take an active interest in the children their wives bear. That
is because, when men come to see themselves, and are seen by others, as
upholders of a patriarchal line, how those children turn out directly affects
their own rank and honour.
Under patriarchy, maternal investment in children also increases. As feminist
economist Nancy Folbre has observed, "Patriarchal control over women tends to
increase their specialization in reproductive labour, with important
consequences for both the quantity and the quality of their investments in the
next generation." Those consequences arguably include: more children receiving
more attention from their mothers, who, having few other ways of finding meaning
in their lives, become more skilled at keeping their children safe and healthy.
Without implying any endorsement for the strategy, one must observe that a
society that presents women with essentially three options -- be a nun, be a
prostitute, or marry a man and bear children -- has stumbled upon a highly
effective way to reduce the risk of demographic decline.
Patriarchy and Its Discontents
Patriarchy may enjoy evolutionary advantages, but nothing has ensured the
survival of any particular patriarchal society. One reason is that men can grow
weary of patriarchy's demands. Roman aristocrats, for example, eventually became
so reluctant to accept the burdens of heading a family that Caesar Augustus felt
compelled to enact steep "bachelor taxes" and otherwise punish those who
remained unwed and childless. Patriarchy may have its privileges, but they may
pale in comparison to the joys of bachelorhood in a luxurious society -- nights
spent enjoyably at banquets with friends discussing sports, war stories, or
philosophy, or with alluring mistresses, flute girls, or clever courtesans.
Women, of course, also have reason to grow weary of patriarchy, particularly
when men themselves are no longer upholding their patriarchal duties. Historian
Suzanne Cross notes that during the decades of Rome's civil wars, Roman women of
all classes had to learn how to do without men for prolonged periods, and
accordingly developed a new sense of individuality and independence. Few women
in the upper classes would agree to a marriage to an abusive husband. Adultery
and divorce became rampant.
Often, all that sustains the patriarchal family is the idea that its members are
upholding the honour of a long and noble line. Yet, once a society grows
cosmopolitan, fast-paced, and filled with new ideas, new peoples, and new
luxuries, this sense of honour and connection to one's ancestors begins to fade,
and with it, any sense of the necessity of reproduction. "When the ordinary
thought of a highly cultivated people begins to regard 'having children' as a
question of pro's and con's," Oswald Spengler, the German historian and
philosopher, once observed, "the great turning point has come."
The Return of Patriarchy
Yet that turning point does not necessarily mean the death of a civilization,
only its transformation. Eventually, for example, the sterile, secular, noble
families of imperial Rome died off, and with them, their ancestors' idea of
Rome. But what was once the Roman Empire remained populated. Only the
composition of the population changed. Nearly by default, it became composed of
new, highly patriarchal family units, hostile to the secular world and enjoined
by faith either to go forth and multiply or join a monastery. With these changes
came a feudal Europe, but not the end of Europe, nor the end of Western
Civilization.
We may witness a similar transformation during this century. In Europe today,
for example, how many children different people have, and under what
circumstances, correlates strongly with their beliefs on a wide range of
political and cultural attitudes. For instance, do you distrust the army? Then,
according to polling data assembled by demographers Ronny Lesthaeghe and Johan
Surkyn, you are less likely to be married and have kids-or ever to get married
and have kids-than those who say they have no objection to the military. Or
again, do you find soft drugs, homosexuality, and euthanasia acceptable? Do you
seldom, if ever, attend church? For whatever reason, people answering
affirmatively to such questions are far more likely to live alone, or in
childless, cohabitating unions, than those who answer negatively.
The great difference in fertility rates between secular individualists and
religious or cultural conservatives augurs a vast, demographically driven change
in modern societies. Consider the demographics of France, for example. Among
French women born in the early 1960s, less than a third have three or more
children. But this distinct minority of French women (most of them presumably
practicing Catholics and Muslims) produced more than 50 percent of all children
born to their generation, in large measure because so many of their
contemporaries had one child or none at all.
Many childless, middle-aged people may regret the life choices that are leading
to the extinction of their family lines, and yet they have no sons or daughters
with whom to share their newfound wisdom. The plurality of citizens who have
only one child may be able to invest lavishly in that child's education, but a
single child will only replace one parent, not both. Meanwhile, the descendants
of parents who have three or more children will be hugely overrepresented in
subsequent generations, and so will the values and ideas that led their parents
to have large families.
One could argue that history, and particularly Western history, is full of
revolts of children against parents. Couldn't tomorrow's Europeans, even if they
are disproportionately raised in patriarchal, religiously minded households,
turn out to be another generation of '68?
The key difference is that during the post-World War II era, nearly all segments
of modern societies married and had children. Some had more than others, but the
disparity in family size between the religious and the secular was not so large,
and childlessness was rare. Today, by contrast, childlessness is common, and
even couples who have children typically have just one. Tomorrow's children,
therefore, unlike members of the postwar baby boom generation, will be for the
most part descendants of a comparatively narrow and culturally conservative
segment of society. To be sure, some members of the rising generation may reject
their parents' values, as always happens. But when they look around for fellow
secularists and counterculturalists with whom to make common cause, they will
find that most of their wouldbe fellow travellers were quite literally never
born.
Advanced societies are growing more patriarchal, whether they like it or not. In
addition to the greater fertility of conservative segments of society, the
rollback of the welfare state forced by population aging and decline will give
these elements an additional survival advantage, and therefore spur even higher
fertility. As governments hand back functions they once appropriated from the
family, notably support in old age, people will find that they need more
children to insure their golden years, and they will seek to bind their children
to them through inculcating traditional religious values akin to the Bible's
injunction to honour thy mother and father.
Societies that are today the most secular and the most generous with their
underfunded welfare states will be the most prone to religious revivals and a
rebirth of the patriarchal family. The absolute population of Europe and Japan
may fall dramatically, but the remaining population will, by a process similar
to survival of the fittest, be adapted to a new environment in which no one can
rely on government to replace the family, and in which a patriarchal God
commands family members to suppress their individualism and submit to father.
When we, the cultural conservatives, seize political and military control of
Western European countries within 20-70 years we will re-establish the
patriarchal structures by partly deconstructing certain matriarchal fundaments.
Doing so will ensure the survival of the nuclear family among many other
factors. This should not be done by excessive regulation through banning women
from attaining positions of influence (with the exception of areas relating to
immigration, security and certain other segments). The Marxist ideologists of
the Frankfurt school understood that the power of the patriarchy lies within the
nuclear family. To illustrate this, look at Japanese and South Korean policies.
They do not have any laws directly banning women from attaining positions of
influence (becoming prime minister or president of a corporation). Yet they are
traditional, patriarchal and very successful societies. Obviously, the Marxists
did not succeed in Japan and South Korea as they did in Western Europe and the
US. The Marxists knew that in order to deconstruct the patriarchy they had to
undermine and de-legitimise the structure of the nuclear family. To a Marxist,
the nuclear family is nothing more than a miniature model of an oppressive
state. By implementing measures which will secure and strengthen the relevancy
of the of the nuclear family we will ensure considerable and far reaching
results and it will be unnecessary to directly ban popular feminist doctrines.
As soon as women once again will be conditioned through just institutions and
are raised in a strong and unified nuclear family lead by a confident patriarch
she will know her place in society and further regulations will be unnecessary.
Directly banning a multitude of popular feminist laws is not a wise approach as
it would be labeled as despotic and would undermine us in the long run. Instead,
we must change A FEW strategic laws which will act as indirect force
multipliers. The single most important regulation we have to change is the law
that guarantees that the father will always get the custody of the child. It is
the most essential law which will act like a positive domino effect. Law number
two must be the regulation that criminalises physical disciplinarian methods.
This will ensure order within the family and within our schools. Obviously,
physical punishment will not be glorified and must only be used under extreme
circumstances. However, the essential thing is that it will no longer be
considered a criminal offence. The third law will be the abolishment of a
regulation related to marriage. The law which facilitates the so called “no
fault marriages”. There might be other essential and strategic laws we will have
to change but we should limit it to a minimum.
Fathers should be favored (prerogative rights) when child custody cases are
decided in courts (ROUGH DRAFT)
The new laws will assume a powerful role in defining status, rights and
appropriate behaviour. A fundamental revision of the married woman’s place in
the legal order lay at the center of the laws branches, domestic relations.
Post-cultural Marxist (feminist) changes in family life which was changed from a
patriarchal manner to a matriarchal model in the 1970s will be reversed in order
to combat an excessive feminisation of family structure and males in particular.
The goal is to re-introduce the father as the authority figure and family head
and will therefore strengthen the nuclear family. It is estimated that these
changes will result in a decline of the divorce rate/broken families by
approximately 50%. Furthermore, the father can without fear of being punished by
the law, reassert an authority role in the family. Physical disciplinary methods
will once again be a factor in the upbringing of children.
Post-cultural Marxist changes in family life, ones which cultural
Marxist/feminist historians label as “modern” have proven to have a devastating
impact on the nuclear family. These changes have contributed to the
institutionalising of and implementing deliberate “broken family policies”.
Influenced by the society’s growing glorification of single parent upbringing
and female domestic supremacy, judges granted women supreme legal powers in
family affairs. In the 70s bourgeois women mounted a campaign to attach superior
legal rights to motherhood and thereby exterminated traditional domestic
governance.
Changing these laws will reverse the destructive effects due the last four
decades of feminisation. Divorce rates will be reduced by approximately 50%
which will also contribute to reverse excessive self-centeredness (and
lifestyles related to such behaviour). Men’s domestic rights will be
considerably strengthened.
Fathers will regain the domestic courage to teach their children discipline,
moral codes and traditional codex’s without the fear of persecution or
discrimination from the mother or the cultural Marxist regime.
A more moderate suggestion would include giving the fathers equal rights to the
children relating to custody decisions.
Grandparents should play a central role in their grandchildren’s life (ROUGH
DRAFT)
Grandparents should have a central part in their grandchildren’s life, and this
newly re-introduces “civilisation change” should be reflected in government
policies and how the medias glorifies it.
Lifestyles that propagate that sons and daughters move out and establish an
independent life completely separated from their parents should no longer be
glorified by the media. Instead, lifestyles glorifying the nuclear family should
be propagated.
Re-introduction of the generational home, large homes with enough room for the
children to raise the grandchildren in an environment where the grandparents
play an essential part.
This social structure has several benefits:
Many single people live in small flats or in segments of apartments. Many are
lonely and some commit suicide. Others refrain from establishing a family of
their own because they know it involves significant burdens. This however, would
not be the case if we followed the traditional family model (social structure)
where generational home and the nuclear family are glorified by the media. The
grandparents should play an essential part in their children’s life. This will
have positive social and economical effects for the society (costs for kinder
garden and nursery homes will be substantially reduced and there will be
significantly less suicides as a result of loneliness).
Physical disciplinary methods (ROUGH DRAFT)
More discipline at home, and school. This includes allowing physical
disciplinary methods in extreme cases where this is needed (It is always needed
as a last option). Because it is essential that children show the proper respect
for the adult and know that the adult has the required “sanction methods/tools”
in their arsenal without the fear of being persecuted by the state. A society
(school institutions especially) cannot function properly without the right to
allow physical disciplinary methods in extreme cases.
Family & Society
- The Traditional Family is Disappearing
(ROUGH DRAFT)
Area of Study:
Social Theory, Social Structure and Change
The traditional British family structure is in decay and is facing extinction.
Liberal permissiveness has wrecked havoc with our society and the results are
there for all to see.
The recently published Social Trends report states that single parent households
have nearly tripled from 4% in 1971 to 11% in 2008. The percentage of
traditional nuclear family households had fallen by 52% to 36% over the same
period and women are more likely to give birth by the time they are 25 than get
married.
Consequences
·
Since the early 1970s there has been a decline in marriage, and a marked rise in
the numbers of lone parent families.
·
The ongoing rise in family breakdown affecting young children has been driven by
the dissolution of cohabiting partnerships. The majority of these are less
stable than marriage (European data shows that by a child’s fifth birthday less
than 1 in 12 (8%) married parents have split up compared to almost 1 in 2 (43%)
cohabiting parents).
·
The intergenerational transmission of family breakdown and its associated
disadvantages is seen in the way children who have been neglected or un-nurtured
are highly likely to go on to create dysfunctional families subject to further
breakdown. Similarly there is an overrepresentation in teen pregnancy statistics
of girls from fatherless and broken homes.
·
Crime is strongly correlated with family breakdown - 70% of young offenders are
from lone parent families and one third of prisoners were in local authority
care (yet only 0.6% of the nation’s children are in care at any one time).
·
Costs of family breakdown to the exchequer are estimated to be well over £20bn
per annum in Britain alone.
By Edna McNicholas (Note: Edna McNicholas wrote this essay using a cultural
Marxist/PC narrative)
Family forms are shaped by the attitudes toward gender roles in a given society
which, in turn, are influenced by the demographic, social, economic, and
political realities of the time. The traditional family, idealised during the
Victorian era and reestablished in the 1950s, is identified as a unit consisting
of a married couple with two or more children where the breadwinning father goes
out to work while the mother stays home to keep house and care for the children
and her husband. This profile of the family, which reflected and was supported
by the prevailing attitudes and realities of a particular period which no longer
exists, continues to be lauded, endorsed, and longed for by right wing
politicians and religious groups.(1) However, due to the major socio-cultural
changes of the past three decades, a variety of family forms has emerged and now
the traditional family accounts for "only 5 percent of American households."
The Way We Were
After the second world war, government propaganda was combined with effective
advertising, and supported by Freudian psychology, to restore the traditional
family as the societal norm where women were assigned the identity of wives and
mothers, with increased emphasis on gender difference, and men assumed the role
of breadwinners and strong, male heads of families. In this traditional family,
specific male and female gender roles are instilled in the children from the
outset. Males learn to be assertive, aggressive, and dominant while females
learn to be docile, gentle, and passive. They learn that men are expected to be
tough, courageous, and rational while women are expected to be tender, timid,
and emotional. They learn that men are the power holders while women are
expected to be submissive, that men make the decisions while women are expected
to comply. In other words, the traditional game which is called gender-role
socialisation is really a very clever way of ensuring that women learn that
their place in the scheme of life is to be dependent on and subservient to men
where they are denied direct access to economic opportunity and control of their
own sexuality. However, such gender-role socialisation also takes its toll on
men's physical and mental health because it necessitates repression of their
feelings and denial of their needs. It seems that traditional gender-role
socialisation "limits the options and opportunities open to males as well as
females" and can prevent both from achieving their full human potential.
Black American families were not confined by such gender-role socialisation
because the segregation laws that operated to keep black men out of the labour
force thrust black women into the role of breadwinners for their families and
thus contributed to more equitable gender roles in black households. Black
parents instill both instrumental and expressive behaviours in their sons and
daughters from an early age because they learned from their own experience that
"black men and black women had to develop together strength, perseverance, and
resiliency in order to survive."
Changing Times
In the 1960s, family life began to change when the student movement led the
revolt against sexual repression, social injustice, the Vietnam war, and racial
discrimination. This was the decade when the baby-boomers came of age and
changed societal norms irrevocably. This was the decade when the civil rights
movement challenged the discriminatory laws and practices of white supremacy,
and equality of opportunity became the right of black Americans. This was the
decade when the second wave of feminism emerged and gave birth to the women's
movement, a movement that has had the most lasting and profound effect on both
public and private life in America. In short, this was the decade when children,
women, and men challenged the patriarchal, authoritarian structures of family,
society, and government and demanded equal rights for all, regardless of gender,
colour, or race. In my discussion, I will focus on changes in gender roles in
relation to economic opportunity and sexuality, and how these changes contribute
to the autonomy versus intimacy struggles in human relationships.
Changes in Gender Roles
Economic Opportunity
In the traditional family, men were socialised to develop instrumental
behaviours and women were socialised to develop expressive behaviours. This
insured that, while men had direct access to economic opportunity and
independence, women were always dependent on their husbands for social and
economic rewards. As access to economic opportunity is a source of power and
prestige in all societies, it follows that women lacked this power and prestige
because of their confinement to the domestic sphere. In order for women to
achieve equality of status with men, it was imperative that they participate in
paid employment in the public sphere and that they have some degree of economic
independence.
With this emphasis on changing their role, unprecedented numbers of women have
not only joined the labour force since 1960 but have also become highly educated
and have won the right to compete with men in all areas of professional,
business, and public life. However, even though women have achieved equality of
status through education, occupation, and income, a corresponding change in
men's roles has been slow to develop. While men have supported the changing role
of women, at least in areas in which it benefits them, many have allowed their
wives to continue to take full responsibility for the domestic sphere in
addition to their sharing in the breadwinning role and have failed to see that
"to be effective, change must move in two directions: men must share in domestic
and childrearing tasks even as women share in the world of outside work."
Sexuality
Prior to the 1960s, abstinence from premarital sex was considered the official
standard for men and women. However, the double standard, which holds that
sexual intercourse before marriage is permissible for males but not for females,
was widely practiced. In the 1960s, young people rejected the double standard
and set more egalitarian standards: permissiveness with affection, and
permissiveness without affection. Permissiveness with affection allows
premarital sex between males and females when love is present; permissiveness
without affection sanctions premarital sex for fun between a man and a woman in
a casual relationship. As men engaged in such behaviour down through the
decades, the greatest changes in premarital sexual norms have been changes in
female behaviours.
Changes in sexual behaviours are influenced by the social realities of the time
and in the 1960s the United States was not only becoming a postindustrial
society but was also engaged in a major war with Vietnam. Society was in a state
of turmoil and young people especially were questioning its values and its
morals. The upsurge in premarital sexual permissiveness during this period is
viewed as the "desire for autonomy, for control over one's own sexual destiny."
Women wanted the right to control their own lives and what better time to stake
their claim on their autonomy than at the beginning of a new era.
While the goal of feminism is the achievement of equality of standards in
attitudes and behaviours for both men and women, feminists did not necessarily
envisage an increase in sexual permissiveness. However, the findings from
sociological research carried out during the 1970s among female and male
teenagers indicate that they were much more sexually active at the end of the
decade than they were at the beginning. Studies undertaken among college
students point to a similar pattern, especially among women. Not only has the
sexual behaviours of teenagers and young adults changed during this period,
their attitudes toward the morality of this behaviour has also changed
considerably. Between 1969 and 1985, the number of young adults who do not
believe that premarital sex is wrong increased by almost 35 percent.
An increase in premarital pregnancies is the most likely outcome of an increase
in premarital sexual activity, unless couples are using reliable forms of
contraception. The responsibility for the use of contraception usually falls to
the woman because she is the one who is most likely to have to deal with the
costs and rewards related to both contraception and pregnancy. The decision to
use contraception is influenced by a woman's attitude toward her own sexuality,
gender roles, and her sense of autonomy as well as her relationship and
communication with her partner. Women holding egalitarian attitudes toward
gender roles who choose to become sexually active with their partners for their
own pleasure and expressive needs, also choose to protect themselves from
unwanted pregnancies by using reliable forms of contraception. Young adolescent
women, molded in the traditional gender-role pattern, may become sexually active
at an early age in order to boost their self-esteem and are unlikely to take
contraceptive precautions.
With increasing emphasis on egalitarian gender-role conditioning, many men are
moving away from the stereotypical sexual aggressor attitudes of the traditional
male when women were considered the subordinate, sexual conquests, and are
looking for the expressive qualities of mutual love and caring in their sexual
relationships. Similarly, women look for equality in their sexual relationships
where they are active participants rather than passive objects. "The popularity
of the permissiveness-with-affection standard may indicate some convergence in
the perspectives of considerable numbers of women and men who want something
more than casual sex."
Marriage
Traditionally, a man and a woman became involved in a steady dating relationship
as a preparation for marriage. Men looked for partners whose physical appearance
would enhance their image, and women looked for partners whose achievements,
financially and socially, would provide security and social status. These
choices reflected the self- identity of both parties: women saw themselves in
terms of their physical attributes with their future role revolving around the
needs and desires of their husbands; men saw themselves in terms of their
accomplishments and career prospects, with an additional future role as
breadwinner and head of his family.
In the past three decades, all of this has changed as feminist- minded women
emphasise their own instrumental as well as expressive qualities, and look for
more expressive and intellectual qualities in the men they choose for long-term
relationships. Men who are open to more egalitarian gender roles focus less on
physical qualities and more on the expressive and intellectual qualities of
women. Women's sense of autonomy is also evident in their tendency "to initiate
dates and to share date expenses." (20) Feminist-minded women no longer wait to
be chosen, they choose for themselves the men they want to be with in exclusive
relationships.
Marriage is not necessarily the goal of long-term relationships in today's
world. "Individuals are expected to be deeply committed to the current serious
relationship in an exclusive dating partnership, a living-together arrangement,
or a socially recognised marriage." When couples decide to marry, they do so in
the belief that it will provide the rewards and satisfactions they seek in terms
of both instrumental and expressive exchanges.
Autonomy versus Intimacy
In traditional relationships, men had autonomy and authority while women had
neither. Women were expected to be submissive and subservient, without the right
to their own opinions, feelings or needs. In modern relationships based on
equality of gender roles, female and male autonomy are of equal importance, and
intimacy, the mutual sharing of the being of each partner, is of vital
importance to the continual development and deepening of mutual trust and love.
According to Scarf, each partner not only brings herself or himself to the
relationship but also the influences of known and unknown family backgrounds
which have a profound bearing on the struggle between autonomy and intimacy in
the relationship.
Each person in a relationship needs space to be a person in his/her own right,
to pursue independent goals which meet his/her independent needs. Each one also
has intimacy needs, the need to set aside time for the sharing of oneself in
love and closeness with the other. However, despite the modern emphasis on
equality of gender roles, both men and women are still influenced by the
traditional gender-role conditioning which demanded that women be the love- and
caregivers to their highly-sexed, emotionless husbands and that men be the
strong, male providers for their fragile, emotional wives. Women feel guilty
about having autonomous needs and feel they should be always available to
provide the love and the closeness in the relationship, while men feel they
should be strong and independent and cannot admit to their need for love and
closeness. For both men and women, the struggle is also in the questions: how
much they can give of each other to each other in intimacy without losing their
autonomy, without being absorbed into the identity of the other; and, how can
they "be intimate without exposing yourself to the terrible possibility of
rejection and abandonment?"
Today, the struggle between autonomy and intimacy is part and parcel of the
deepening and development of mature, loving relationships.

The Japanese model, the South Korean model
3.84 Knights Templar and ethnocentrism
Knights Templar has three primary functions;
1.
To act as a pan-European Crusader Movement for the banishment of Islam from
Europe
2.
To act as an Indigenous Rights Movement; to serve the interest of the European
ethnic groups and to destroy cultural Marxism/multiculturalism
3.
To act as a War Crimes Tribunal
As one of the core doctrines within cultural Marxism/multiculturalism is to
systematically deconstruct the European majority ethnical groups, it is our task
to prevent this from happening.
As such, KT can be viewed as a partly ethnocentric organization. However, since
the doctrines surrounding ethnocentric/indigenous principles is relatively vague
and not very specific it is up to each and every Justiciar Knight to make his
own personal interpretation. It is to be expected that individual Justiciar
Knights representing the various cultural conservative denominations that adhere
to KT primary principles will have different interpretations of these important
issues. The issues we should agree on is that any and all definitions must be
made for the purpose of protecting indigenous peoples of Europe without harming
indigenous people in other regions of the world.
Our aim should be to implement a cultural conservative political model similar
to the South Korean and Japanese model, which is the same model used in Europe
in the 1950s.
The following interpretation of these topics is my own:
Topics that are considered political incorrect and difficult to discuss openly
even among some revolutionary conservatives
What type of rhetorical approach should you use when openly arguing against the
demographical annihilation of the European tribes?
In order to understand the question, there are certain historical and
ideological aspects that have to be reviewed;
Introduction to the premises for answering the question
Today’s multiculturalist establishment is a direct result of Soviets WW2 and
cold war victory. It wasn’t a total victory for the Soviets as capitalism and
the free markets obviously survived, but culturally, it was a disaster as
multiculturalism (internationalist Marxism) prevailed and was gradually
institutionalised in Western European countries spearheaded by the the UK,
French and German left wing establishment. According to the history books; the
West allegedly won the cold war because Soviet collapsed... However, the truth
of the matter is that the Soviets managed to pass on its cultural Marxist legacy
to Europe through its 100 000 – 200 000 European Marxist Trojans who really
should have been executed after WW2 but which instead were allowed to infiltrate
school/university institutions and cultural arenas. These Marxists managed to
indoctrinate enough people during the 50s and 60s who combined contributed to
the decisive 1968 Marxist cultural victory in Western Europe and the US. During
this time, the conservatives of Europe, especially Christians, nationalists,
traditionalists but also capitalists, failed to defend the cultural conservative
world view unlike the cultural conservative movements in Japan and later South
Korea. The reason for this was because of the general institutionalised
persecution of nationalist/traditionalist oriented individuals after WW2 in
Europe due to the defeat of the Nazis. The logic was; since the NSDAP were
nationalists, among other things, all conservatives, nationalists and
traditionalists are automatically Nazis and therefore evil. This notion was
allowed to be developed and was later manifested through the new ideology;
multiculturalism/extreme egalitarianism, which is an anti-European hate ideology
designed to deconstruct our European cultures, traditions, identities,
Christendom and even our national states. Another factor was that an
overwhelming majority of the right wing were not, and still aren’t today,
politically active. The Marxists have always had a talent for infiltration and
psychological warfare, infiltrating everything from Workers Unions to hippie
movements, environmentalist movements, universities, news corporations which
they used to further project and propagate their cultural world views. They have
also traditionally been a lot more active when it comes to arranging
demonstrations (often spearheaded through the Workers Unions and other
organisations they had already infiltrated), while the right wing were, and
still are, usually only focused on serving their own needs, feeding their own
egos, developing their companies and generally minding their own business.
Ok, back on topic; what on earth are the Nordic/Germanic tribes and why are we
disallowed to preserve especially the Nordic/Germanic tribes today?
In order to understand the evil and suicidal European Marxism of today you must
first learn about National Socialism:
Nordicism (also referred to as the"Nordic theory") is the ideology of racial
superiority which claims that the Nordic race (the Germanic peoples/tribes),
would constitute a master race because of an innate capacity for initiative,
long term planning and leadership. The reasoning for this theory is that the
Nordic peoples has been forced to, due to the cold arctic climate, to
logistically plan ahead for up to 6 months per year to be able to survive the
cold winters. In addition, all the weak elements of the tribe usually perished
due to the harsh climate leaving only the strong and intelligent left. When this
process of elimination was the case for specific tribes over a timeline
consisting of thousands of years it is claimed that the descendants are superior
when it comes to initiative, long term planning and intelligence compared to
people who live in warm climates with easy access to food and water. Nordicism
was prevalent mainly in the late-19th and early 20th centuries in Western Europe
and North America and came to be a major influence on Nazism. Multiculturalism
is a reactionary ideology to Nordicism which in many ways aims to completely
wipe out the Germanic tribes and other European tribes as Europeans are defined,
according to hardcore internationalist Marxists, as a cancer to this world as it
is claimed that our ancestors where evil. As such, the ideology of
multiculturalism, which of course only applies to European countries (“the white
man is the devil, not the yellow man – Japan/South Korea”).
Madison Grant, in his book The Passing of the Great Race:
Madison Grant, in his book The Passing of the Great Race, defined the "Nordic"
type as "long skulled, very tall, fair skinned, with blond hair and light
colored eyes. The Nordics inhabit the countries around the North and Baltic
Seas, and include not only the great Scandinavian and Teutonic groups, but also
other early peoples who first appear in southern Europe and in Asia as
representatives of Aryan language and culture." The Germanic tribes is another
word for Nordics.
While the concept of Nordic race became intertwined with a northern and
northeastern European cultural identity, the Alpine race was thought to
predominate in central/Eastern Europe through to Turkey and the Eurasian steppes
of Central Asia and Southern Russia and was said to be characterised by short
stature, dark hair, dark eyes, narrower shoulders, a darker complexion and
comparatively round head. The Mediterranean race was thought to be prevalent in
Southern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa as well as in Wales, and was
said to be characterised by dark hair, dark eyes, aquiline nose, swarthy
complexion, moderate-to-short stature, and moderate or long skull.
Present and current distribution of Nordics, Alpines and Mediterranean’s in
Europe:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/Passing_of_the_Great_Race_-_Map_4.jpg
According to Madison Grant and several other authors; there are three European
races. These are; Nordics/Germanics (Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany,
Finland and to a high degree the UK, Ireland, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia,
Benelux, Baltic’s, Switzerland but also to a large degree Russia, Ukraine and
Belarus (the Nordic parts). There are also 40-80 million Nordics in the US and a
few million in Canada and Australia.
As covered in another chapter; within approximately 100-150 years or within 4-5
generations (if the current development is allowed to continue) the
Germanic/Nordic race in several countries will be diluted or annihilated to such
a degree that there will be no one left with Nordic physical characteristics;
blond hair, blue eyes, high forehead, sturdy cheekbones. As such, the Nordic
tribes will become extinct if we do not resist and seize political and military
control of our countries. To illustrate the ongoing demographic annihilation of
the Nordic peoples; in 1900 there were 50% Nordics in the US (blonde hair, blue
eyes). But now, as a result of primarily non-European immigration, there was in
2008 ONLY 16%.
Solutions
The only way to prevent the ongoing genocide of the Nordic tribes is if either;
The Marxist regimes in Europe grant us privileges by either completely
liberalising the biotechnology-laws. They must encourage and even directly
sponsor repro-genetics programs on a private and/or state level, which
facilitates reproduction clinics who focus strictly on indigenous genotypes from
pure sources (non-diluted (95-99% pure) Nordic genotypes) found in Northern
Sweden and other areas where this is available. The European Marxist regimes
will never allow or contribute to this which only leaves two options;
Conservatives/nationalists/traditionalists in each European country are given
reservations where we can exercise autonomy (political control) just like the
Native Americans after their defeat against the US Army. This is not acceptable
yet to a large majority of conservatives as we expect to defeat the cultural
Marxist regimes of Europe within 70 years. The third option should be outlined
as follows;
Conservatives must seize political and military power through a combination of
armed and democratic struggle within 70 years and implement the above policies.
The alternative is the continued bastardisation model, very similar to the
Brazilian model; where it has been (due to the Brazilian Marxist revolution)
established a melting pot of European/Asian/African mix. These policies have
proven to be a catastrophe for Brazil and other countries that have
institutionalised and facilitated widespread race-mixing of
Asians/Europeans/Africans. Brazil has firmly established itself as a second
world country with an extremely poor degree of social cohesion. The results are
evident and are manifested through a large degree of corruption, lacking
productivity and eternal conflict between the various competing “cultures” as
the myriad of newly established “sub-tribes” (black, mulatto, mestizo, white)
paralyzes any hope of ever reaching the same level of productivity and harmony
as f example Scandinavia, Germany, South Korea or Japan. Seeing the lack of
social cohesion in Brazil, and the average productivity of the average
Brazilian, it is evident that a similar approach in Europe would be devastating
and nationally retarding, not to mention that it would be a grave crime
(genocide) to contribute in any way to the annihilation, deconstruction and
genocide of the indigenous peoples
which are Nordic by definition.
Argumentation techniques - Victor vs. victim?
Instead of overly focusing on formulating arguments based on the superiority and
intelligence of Europeans you should primarily focus on indigenous European
rights; that the Nordic tribes and the rest of the European tribes are on its
stabile course towards extinction because of multiculturalisms facilitation of
Islamic demographic warfare. Instead of just presenting arguments, convert
arguments into questions. The best arguments ARE often questions.
What will the government do to prevent the ongoing Islamic demographical warfare
against European?
What will they do to prevent the Nordic ethnic group in given country from going
extinct?
How do they justify the ongoing demographical annihilation of the Europeans?
Why do they continue to allow mass-Muslim immigration in combination with
Marxist procreation policies (feminism resulting in a low birth rate) when they
know that these policies will result in our extinction?
Why are they so arrogant that they claim that the only solution to our problems,
the cultural conservative world view, is an evil Nazi ideology while the cause
of all our problems, their cultural Marxist world view, is the only truth?
Why are the Native Americans granted reservations (completely reserved for their
ethnic group) while indigenous Europeans aren’t awarded the same basic human
rights?
Why are the indigenous Native American tribes treated with more dignity and
respect than indigenous European tribes?
These are all good questions we should focus on in the decades to come. A good
strategy in Europe is therefore to focus on indigenous rights. Preserving our
“tribe”, our culture, traditions, Christendom etc. is in fact the most basic of
all human rights that takes absolute precedent before ridiculous
Marxist-humanist demands for allowing another 10 million Islamic asylum seekers
residence.
Be on the offensive; never argue in a defensive manner. No matter what approach
you choose, when f example defending the fallen martyrs of our movements, be
smart. Don’t go into specific topics in situations where it isn’t relevant. You
will easily lose the discussion if you talk about Islamisation and you suddenly
start to discuss the Nordic genotypes. Islam is not a race after all but an
ideology. Separate the discussions and stick to each topic instead of cross
shifting. These argumentation techniques are all reverse-engineered Marxist
arguments and are all very effective. The Marxists have traditionally been the
best propagandists and we have a lot to learn from them. NEVER underestimate our
enemy!
The true definition of racism vs. the Marxist definition
Don’t let the multiculturalists define what racism is or isn’t. Keeping an
African against his will in your basement as a slave is racism. Loving your
extended family/your ethnic group and fighting for ethnic and/or indigenous
rights does not make you a racist, quite the opposite in fact. It makes you a
civil rights activist. Creating a pro-indigenous and/or pro-ethnic movement does
not make it a “white supremacy” movement but rather an Indigenous rights
movement or even a civil rights movement. Anyone who calls you a racist due to
these reasons proves very clearly that HE is the real racist, as he obviously
ONLY attacks European rights movements. He is therefore an anti-European racist
supporting the anti-European hate ideology known as multiculturalism.
The cultural Marxists/multiculturalists have gone to great lengths to change the
very definition of the word; racist. Europeans having African slaves on a
plantation WAS racist, the apartheid system WAS racist (deportation and a two
state solution would have been the right way to go). However, loving your ethnic
group and fighting for the interests of your tribe is NOT and will never be
racist. Nevertheless, the cultural Marxist systems would have everyone think
otherwise.
Creating a pan-Nordic union?
I don’t see why we shouldn’t actively strive for the establishment of a Nordic
League propagating Nordic interests, following the design of the Arab League.
After all, why shouldn’t we, Scandinavians, Nordics, Germans and to a large
degree Brits, Americans, Polish, Czechs, Swiss, people from Benelux and Balticum
be allowed to feel pride in our ethnic heritage and fight for our ethnic
interests? Shouldn’t WE have the EQUAL right to actively pursue and protect our
interest based on ethnic origin when Arabs, Pashtuns, Africans, Kurds, Tibetans,
Aboriginals, Native Americans, Rom/Gypsies are allowed to?
Why are we labeled as Nazi monsters when we do and they are tolerated,
encouraged and even supported financially? The answer has been explained in this
compendium on multiple occasions. It is because the current US/EU cultural
Marxist hegemony is a racist and evil empire which has embraced a hate ideology
equal to Stalinist Communism and Nazism. Multiculturalism IS as evil and racist
as Nazism and as brutal as Stalinism. They don’t use the same persecution
methods, instead they ratify hate laws and get their propaganda machine (MSM) to
character assassinate people, ridicule them resulting in conservatives losing
their jobs, family and committing suicide. Multiculturalism must be destroyed as
soon as possible, or we, all European tribes, will seize to exist within 100
years!
You are not alone - 14 David’s against one Goliath
I am extremely proud of my ethnic group, Norwegians which is a Northern-Germanic
tribe. Furthermore, I seek to serve Norwegian AND European interests in
everything I do. I would not hesitate to sacrifice my own life for the English,
Slavic, Jewish, Indian, Latin or French tribes in their fight against the
EUSSR/US multiculturalist hegemony. All European and non-European conservatives,
nationalists and traditionalists must support each other as this cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist global hegemony is our common enemy. I would never
betray a brother tribe whether it be a Scandinavian, Frankish, English, Latin,
Slavic or other European tribe. It is essential that we fight for Europe,
consolidate cross borders, and do our best to acknowledge that this is a
European struggle. Because after all; the destruction of the US/EU cultural
Marxist tyranny cannot, obviously, be defeated by Norwegians alone, nor Brits,
nor European Americans. ANY Christian European, anywhere in the world, can
become a Justiciar Knight for the Knights Templar. As a Justiciar Knight you
have been given the mandate to execute category A and B traitors by the war
crimes tribunal known as PCCTS, Knights Templar. This is a Pan-European civil
war and its outcome will decide the very survival of our peoples whether you are
a French, Greek, European American, European Canadian, European Australian,
Afrikaner/Boer etc. We will not win this war unless we work together as European
conservatives.
So, back to the initial question; what type of rhetorical approach should you
use when openly arguing against the demographical annihilation of the Nordic
ethnic groups or any other European ethnic groups?
Marxist demonisation techniques and psychological warfare
Sadly, you will be indirectly or directly labeled as a racist or even as a Nazi
monster by the Marxist establishment (government institutions and the MSM -
multiculturalist media) if you attempt to openly argue for the immediate halt to
the ongoing demographical genocide of the Nordic peoples. However, you can use
other words than “race” to more effectively dodge such characteristics. By using
words as tribe or ethnic group you may be able to more effectively communicate
your message.
It should be noted that NSDAP did not win the initial election by propagating
their true agenda. The “political game” is not any different today. You can
never win an election by being honest. The Internationalist Marxist aren’t
honest and never have been (they want to destroy/deconstruct everything
European) and, unfortunately, neither can we (we want to save/preserve
everything European). The appropriate way is therefore to be careful when
arguing and at least keep the ideals alive within ourselves and in an
un-official ideological environment until the day it is possible to implement
ALL of our policies. Sticking to anti-Islamisation rhetorical strategies is one
convenient way of doing this. We don’t have a lot of time, only 70 years max
until the Muslims reach 60%, so we must act as soon as possible and continue the
ongoing European conservative consolidation process until the time we,
collectively as European revolutionary movements, are strong enough to
successfully effectuate the first European coup d’état with enough backing from
our own police/military forces and a nuclear power (from Russia f example) to
prevent a subsequent US/NATO intervention.
End note: the PCCTS, Knights Templar are not in any way Nazi sympathizers.
Preserving your tribe, cultural and demographical, is a basic human right and
has nothing to do with “white supremacy”. After all, we do not seek to enslave
or in any way harm or exploit Africans, Asians or their respective countries. We
are a conservative organisation propagating cultural isolationism, similar to
South Korea and Japan unlike the NSDAP which was a left wing organisation, they
hated Christendom, capitalism and propagated a strict definition of socialism.
So do not make the mistake of allowing the Marxists/multiculturalists to
label you as a Nazi. As a Justiciar Knight of Knights Templar Europe, we are
anti-Nazi and approximately 40% of our policies do not coincide with NSDAPs
policies.
Race-mixing and interracial relations; necessary to create the global utopia
lead by the Marxist-Islamic UN or the ultimate crime?
The PCCTS, Knights Templar, obviously, does not have any pre-defined specific
policies or principles concerning race-mixing. The following are my own views
concerning the theme.
I have for a long time dreaded the thought of writing an essay about this
subject. Primarily because it is considered politically incorrect by even many
of the most dedicated conservatives and it is considered an efficient way to
commit character suicide for individuals who have ambitions to appeal to the
bulk of the masses in this early stage of the European civil war. On the other
hand, if you’re Arab, Pashtun, Kurd, Pakistani, Japanese, South Korean or belong
to any other non-European tribe then it’s a completely different matter. Then
it’s all about showing cultural tolerance and respecting their customs. But if
you’re a European and say the same thing, God forbid, then you’re a monster.
This double standard effectively shows us the anti-European nature of
multiculturalism. A large amount of the current multiculturalist elites in the
EU/US, the category A and B traitors specifically, are focused on the
destruction of European culture, Christendom, European identity and there is not
a more efficient way of destroying the core of everything European than
facilitating the gradual deconstruction of the European ethnic groups. The norm
and practice for adopting non-European babies has more or less been
institutionalised, bio-laws have been restricted, mass non-European immigration
has been encouraged along with allowing and even subsidising the non-European
explosive birth rates.
The sum of these deliberate genocidal practices when mixed with Marxist
procreation policies (feminism) is equal to the demographical annihilation of
European ethnic groups if they are allowed to continue.
A majority of conservative revolutionaries have been familiar with these methods
of deliberate cultural annihilation for decades now. I know for a fact that it
can be very frustrating to fight for reversal of the above doctrines because you
feel like an ant trying to defeat a 7-headed monster.
Any public figure that openly opposes race-mixing or interracial relations and
instead propagate the preservation of his tribe is aggressively persecuted,
ridiculed and/or ignored by the European multiculturalist regimes, manifested by
NGOs and the cultural Marxist mainstream media. So basically; if you as a public
figure, utter any opposition or reservation to race-mixing, your career will
likely be instantly destroyed. The multiculturalist glorification of race-mixing
and interracial relations does, however, not correspond to or reflect reality,
the wishes and the views of the large majority of Europeans.
I would claim that approximately 80-90% of Europeans (95% of men and 65% of
women) have chosen or will choose to find a partner within their ethnic group
while more than 95% of Asians and 95% of Africans will chose the same path.
These people reject the notion of finding a partner (with the intention to
procreate) outside their own tribe. These are facts that obviously do not
correspond to the cultural Marxist desire to create a “one-world, one people”,
united under the Marxist-Islamic UN.
The cultural establishment, spear-headed by the entertainment industry and the
MSM are doing everything they can to glorify and propagate race-mixing by
creating movies, series and other coverage which illustrate “happy interracial
couples” in the hopes that they will succeed to indoctrinate as many as
possible. Very few people are buying into this though as they see the dire
consequences of this irreversible action.
Would you actively contribute to further the demographical annihilation of your
ethnic group?
80-90% of all Europeans would oppose (or at least be disappointed) if their sons
and daughters married and/or procreated with a non-European. This principle and
tradition of procreating within the tribe is universal and applies to the great
majority of the world’s races and ethnic groups whether they are Japanese,
Pashtun, Arab, South Korean, European American, Russian, French, and Swedish
etc.
It is a well known fact that an overwhelming number of ethnic groups consider
racial/ethnic purity to be the very center of their cultural identity. Those
familiar with Taiwanese, South Korean and Japanese culture can attest to that.
Racial/ethnic purity IS and always has been extremely important to the Japanese
and South Koreans (in addition to Europeans and Arabs), in fact so much that
attitudes concerning these matters are completely dominating without these
principles being actually written down. This is also the case in more or less
every single non-cultural Marxist country. Non-cultural Marxist countries are
commonly known for their societal patriarchal structures compared to cultural
Marxist countries where the matriarchal structures are dominating (Europe,
ex-USSR, US and to a certain degree Latin America).
Arab countries are very concerned with racial/ethnic purity as their Arab origin
is directly connected to their blood-relation to Muhammad. It is considered the
greatest of all honours to have a genetical relation to their prophet. This is
so evident that non-Arab Muslims are considered second class Muslims.
Pakistanis, Indonesians, Kurds, Berbers, Persians and Africans have been
severely discriminated for centuries in the Islamic world as a result of them
not being Arab. The Arab League, an important political force in the greater
Middle East works more or less exclusively for ethnic Arab interests. They may
help non-Arabs but will always support Arab interests before other ethnic
groups. These policies of Arabisation are very similar to the Nazi policies
before and during WW2 and involve more than 30 countries in the Middle East and
Africa.
Race-mixing propagandists: Heidi Klum, Elin Nordgren, Madonna, Brangelina, Lady
Gaga etc - An irreversible action, the eternal loss of your extended ethnic
family
The witty comment stating; “if you go black, there is no turning back” actually
underlines the severity of the decision involved in race-mixing. It is quite a
paradox as specific European entertainment stars (including but not limited to
Heidi Klum, Elin Nordgren, Madonna, Brad Pit & Angelina Jolie, Lady Gaga chooses
to propagate and glorify race-mixing either through direct or indirect
(adoption) choices. The only reason that many of these individuals became famous
in the first place was specifically due to their Nordic/European physical
characteristics, rare characteristics that have been acquired through an
evolutionary process which has taken more than 1 million years. These
characteristics, both physical and psychological are then wiped out forever, due
to their miscalculated decision. Obviously, the offspring of these entertainment
stars will never receive the same opportunities as they, themselves, once did.
It is obvious that Nordic entertainment super-stars like Scarlett Johansson
(60-70% Nordic purity), Gwyneth Paltrow (70-80%)Pamela Anderson (90-95%), Paris
Hilton (70-80%), Taylor Swift (80-90%) would have never been where they are
today hadn’t it been for their distinct Nordic physical characteristics. They
would have never, in a million years, managed to reach their current status of
fame had they belonged to another ethnic group. Same can be said about several
other superstars with Nordic physical features such as individuals from Marilyn
Monroe to Megan Fox. So why not embrace their Nordic gift by contributing to
preserve Nordic culture instead of throwing it away and robbing their children
of the same opportunities they once received? It should be noted that the US was
composed of 50% with blue eyes in 1950 but this number has been reduced
significantly and was in 2008 only 16%. By 2020 it is estimated to be less than
8%.
Recessive vs. dominant genes
Blue eyes and blond hair (and possibly many psychological traits) almost never
survives a race-mixing process due to the fact that Nordic genotypes are
recessive unlike f example African, Arab or Oriental genotypes which are
considerably more genetically dominant. In order to dominantly dilute an African
individual it would require 5 individuals of Nordic descent. Thanks to their
parent’s carelessness, their offspring will be cut off forever from their
“extended ethnic family”. They will become, tribe-less individuals and many are
likely to either swear allegiance to extreme cultural Marxism/multiculturalist
ideological views (90%) or choose the extreme right (>10%). They often hate
their parents for what has been done to them, as they are neither European,
African nor Asian.
The Nordic ideal – our tribe counts 200 million individuals as of 2010
There are many non-Nordic that try to mimic Nordic beauty by dying their hair
blond and wearing contacts. So why not offer our children the actual genetical
gift instead, through repro-genetics, rather than spending thousands of Euro and
thousands of hours on make-up trying to mimic the Nordic ideal?
As the Nordic ideal obviously is still prevalent in this multiculturalist world
it may not be too late to prevent the extinction of the Nordic tribes. We are
still a strong tribe, representing the most numerous in Europe, counting more
than 200 million individuals worldwide.
Solutions to prevent the extinction of the Nordic tribes and for implementation
of conservative principles
The key to our survival is to liberalise the strict bio-technology laws and to
commercialise and glorify repro-genetics while there is still a sustainable
selection of Nordics of 99% purity left (this window of opportunity will be
forever lost within 150 years). Not only will we have the option to secure our
survival but we will be able to purify our tribe and add several IQ points to
our off-spring in the same process. This solution is non-violent and is likely
to prevent future war as all ethnic groups would have the possibility to secure
their own genetical survival. Repro-genetics offer everything Europe could ever
dream of with very few drawbacks. Loyal and productive non-Europeans would be
able to stay as we wouldn’t live in fear of being demographically conquered or
being exploited financially.
In order for this to be a reality, it is only required that ONE single
conservative/nationalist nation leader embrace the idea in the future, as soon
as we have managed to seize political and military control of the specific
country. Because as soon as the fruits from that specific country is revealed to
the world, other conservative leaders will have no choice but to copy the
concept. The alternative is that they would significantly fall behind
economically/technologically due to the fact that their average IQ/social
cohesion would be too low in comparison. In addition, they would continue to
suffer under the current myriad of inheritable diseases and conditions which
would continue to take a significant financial toll on the respective regimes.
The first anti-Marxist country in Europe to fully embrace repro-genetics will
become the new economical and technological global super power! And as the
European alpha-males instinctual drive to preserve their genes would be rendered
an obsolete concept, it would contribute to a potentially eternal peaceful
Europe providing that other conservative principles (including the policies to
prevent over-population in the world) would be implemented as well.
Obviously, these policies of “civilizational-shaping” nature cannot be
implemented by a mass-democracy of the current European caliber as the current
political model lacks consensus and thus authority and implementation force and
efficiency. A future model, however, similar to the fascio-democratic model of
Russia and China has the potency to implement the required cultural and security
reforms. An alternative model where females have reduced influence on security
and cultural issues through a guardian council has been presented in another
chapter.
Race-mixing leads to suicidal children with severe mental problems
The offspring of race-mixers will feel like outcasts and it is very common that
these individuals suffer from severe psychological problems throughout their
life. Their parents obviously do not care as it would appear that their
children’s psychological health and general well being is irrelevant to them.
The suicide rate among these individuals is extremely high, which reflects the
suffering they are put through by not having an extended ethnic family. A
majority of Europeans sees ethnic, blood-bonds as the most essential cultural
factor and considers their ethnic tribe to be their extended family.
This issue is extremely politically incorrect to discuss, due to the
current cultural Marxist regimes but it is not a secret that ethnicity remains
and will remain as the most important uniting cultural factor, more so than
socio-economic factors, to a majority of Europeans.
Race-mixed families risk catastrophic consequences as the European civil war
progresses towards phase 2 and 3
After WW2, women who had previously had a relationship and/or children with the
German occupiers would often suffer from severe punishment. The resistance
movements shaved the head of these women and the communities terrorised them for
10 to 20 years after the war. These women and their offspring suffered horribly
for a long time as a result of their decision to mix with individuals from the
occupying force. They were called traitor whores and treated with utter
contempt. Many starved to death at the end of the war while others were even
raped and lynched during and after the war.
What will happen to the “traitor whores” after the great European civil war?
The current status of Europe is quite similar to that of WW2. Instead of having
to face an external enemy, the enemies are the Marxists, suicidal humanists and
capitalist globalists of our societies. We are being colonized by Asia and
Africa facilitated by the multiculturalist elites. In Europe, 85%+ of the
colonizers are Muslims from various parts of the world. So who exactly are the
“traitor whores” of this war, and what will happen to them after we seize
political and military power within the next 20-70 years?
There are two answers to this question; what we would prefer under current moral
conditions and what actually will happen. It is hard for conservative
intellectuals to predict the brutality of the future as we currently live in
seemingly peaceful nations with seemingly few plagues and horrors. However, when
the true agenda of the multiculturalists is revealed to a greater number than
the current 10-15% of people, many will be furious and demand vengeance. If the
current cultural Marxist regimes refuse to capitulate and continue their
atrocities the demand for blood vengeance will grow.
The manifestation of the reckoning will depend on many factors;
1.
Will the cultural Marxists/multiculturalists capitulate in time?
2.
How many more conservatives will be persecuted, ridiculed and pushed towards
suicide before they capitulate?
3.
How many more revolutionary conservatives will have to martyr themselves before
they capitulate?
4.
How will they treat us in prison, if we survive our operations, as prisoners of
war?
5.
What types of methods will they employ in order to persecute and destroy our
cells, networks and militias?
6.
How many million more Muslims and other non-European immigrants will they allow
to enter our gates before they capitulate?
7.
Which of the minority groups (and/or how many percent of the given group) will
be considered loyal enough to be allowed to stay in Europe after the civil war?
8.
The principles and strictness of the specific conservative group that seizes
political and military control in the various Western European countries will
depend on how early the cultural Marxists/multiculturalists capitulate and
whether they give up before they inflict heavy military casualties on us.
9.
It is likely that in countries where the democratic conservative parties have
been allowed to take power peacefully, the reaction towards cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists and minority groups considered to be disloyal will be
mild, while in other European countries, where conservatives have been harshly
persecuted like in f example Germany, Sweden, Norway, France and the UK it will
result in a bloodbath, where hundreds of thousands of cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists and disloyal minority groups will be massacred.
Muslims that haven’t converted to Christendom will automatically be labeled
disloyal and deported. The fate of other minorities such as Buddhists, Hindus,
Christian non-Europeans and half casts and also females/males that have
procreated with the “disloyal” is harder to predict but will be directly related
to the above factors. It is really hard at this point to present a more accurate
prediction than this. After all, there are so many different conservative
denominations, some which are more ethnocentric and/or anti-Marxist than others.
The reasoning behind conservative’s opposition to race-mixing and adoption of
non-Europeans
The cultural Marxists/multiculturalist alliance will have you believe that all
conservatives are ignorant, inbred bigots who are driven by hate towards any and
all minorities. However, this propaganda is as far from the truth as possible.
The reasoning behind our concern and opposition is the fact that mass
immigration, race-mixing and adoption of non-Europeans harm the unity of our
tribe – it harms the degree of social cohesion any given country has. Firstly, a
country that has competing cultures will shred itself to pieces from the inside
over the long term or it will end up as a permanently dysfunctional country like
Brazil and similar countries. Corruption and a high degree of crime is a natural
result of lacking social cohesion. In countries where social cohesion is high,
the opposite symptoms occurs. When you add Islam to the mix the worst case
scenario is changed from a dysfunctional country to total defeat; sharia law and
demographical conquest.
A stable and prosperous country that can offer its citizens solid welfare is
dependent on five primary factors
1.
Islam cannot be present
2.
An ethnic homogenous people
3.
An educated people with a high average IQ (reprogenetics will increase the
average IQ further)
4.
Cultural conservative policies/nationalistic policies/at least partially
financial protectionist
5.
Free market (+ free market towards other cultural conservative countries)
With the current development, we see a systematical breakdown of each point
which will over time result in the transformation of a dysfunctional, failed
state. That is, unless we can prevent it in time.
As such; conservatives’ reservations and opposition against mass immigration,
race-mixing and adoption of non-Europeans is purely pragmatical and not hateful
in any way or form.
When we decide to deport a proportion of a disloyal minority group, it is not
because we hate them, but because not doing so would have catastrophic
consequences for the degree of social cohesion in our country. Allowing your
tribe to demographically sink down towards extinction and allowing your country
to become a failed state is a thousand times a graver crime than offending the
feelings of the people you deport.
How many non-Europeans can a European country absorb per generation without it
considerably affecting social cohesion and the overall well being of the tribe?
That depends which European tribe you are referring to. F example; not all
Alpine or Mediterranean tribes care
that much about their ethnic purity (against Alpine or Nordic genetical
dilution) as they feel they don’t have physical or mental characteristics worth
protecting or that they look favourably on Nordic and Alpine genetical dilution.
So naturally, a Nordic tribe would be much more motivated to protect its
uniqueness because Nordic genetical characteristics are manifested physically in
a much greater degree. No Nordic country should ever try to absorb more than 2%
of non-European immigrants per generation providing that they can mend the
non-Nordic dilution by compensating with reprogenetics clinics which can reverse
national/tribal dilution. That way the Nordic genotype is preserved and we won’t
have to worry about the consequences or invest that many resources on
reprogenetics. The wishes of any and all European tribes should be respected in
this regard. F example Norway (4 million in 1950, 4,9 million in 2010) has
accepted 900 000 immigrants since 1950, 90% which are non-Nordic. In 1950, we
were more or less a pure Nordic country but we now have an additional 850 000
non-Nordics present with 30 000- 50 000 non-Nordics pouring in annually.
300 000-400 000 of the newly arrived are Muslims. At the same time, the
bio-technology laws are strict, and we currently suffer under a genocidal
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist regime under the NATO umbrella. It will take
from 20-70 years for Norwegian cultural conservatives to seize political and
military power and I doubt it will happen until after one of the large European
countries are liberated; the UK, France and Germany. This is essentially why I’m
writing this compendium in English and the reason why I have dedicated most of
my time to assist my English brothers in their patriotic struggle. The key to
Western Europe’s survival lies in the hands of German but especially French or
UK conservatives. After all, the smaller Western European countries are just
mimicking these countries every move.
My own country is thus now, nothing more than a banana republic, a
satellite state lead by London, Paris and Berlin – which in turn is culturally
dictated by Washington.
The great Satan, his cult and the Jews
Whenever someone asks if I am a national socialist I am deeply offended. If
there is one historical figure and past Germanic leader I hate it is Adolf
Hitler. If I could travel in a time-machine to Berlin in 1933, I would be the
first person to go – with the purpose of killing him. Why? No person has ever
committed a more horrible crime against his tribe than Hitler. Because of him,
the Germanic tribes are dying and MAY be completely wiped out unless we manage
to win within 20-70 years. Thanks to his insane campaign and the subsequent
genocide of the 6 million Jews, multiculturalism, the anti-European hate
ideology was created. Multiculturalism would have never been implemented in
Europe if it hadn’t been for NSDAPs reckless and unforgivable actions. Eastern
Europe would have remained free, the US and Russia would never have risen up as
super-powers. The balance of power would have remained in Europe. And it would
be a beautiful Europe with beautiful cultural conservative policies – very
similar to the ones you now find in Japan and South Korea. Hitler almost
destroyed everything with his reckless and unforgivable actions and he will
forever be known as a traitor to the Nordic-Germanic tribes.
So, I am really speechless when I see the cult calling themselves national
socialists today. If you truly love our tribe, the Nordic tribes or any other
European tribe, you must learn and acknowledge that Hitler is a traitor to the
Germanic and all European tribes, NOT a hero. Hitler had the military
capabilities necessary to liberate Jerusalem and the nearby provinces from
Islamic occupation. He could have easily worked out an agreement with the UK and
France to liberate the ancient Jewish Christian lands with the purpose of giving
the Jews back their ancestral lands. The UK and France would perhaps even
contribute to such a campaign in an effort to support European reconciliation.
The deportation of the Jews from Germany wouldn’t be popular but eventually, the
Jewish people would regard Hitler as a hero because he returned the Holy land to
them.
But what did the great Satan do? He invaded Poland, France Russia and several
other countries in his crazed effort for world domination. It was completely
reckless and unforgivable as the consequences of such acts aren’t very hard to
predict. And when the tides turned for the Nazis and the Russian campaign
failed, they decided to massacre the Jews and thus further condemning the
Germanic tribes and the conservative/nationalist ideology to hell... They knew
perfectly well what the consequences would be for their tribes if they lost, yet
they went ahead and completed the job. After WW2, the greatest anti-nationalist
and anti-European propaganda campaign the world has ever seen was launched. And
people like myself, and other cultural conservative leaders of today, are still
suffering under this propaganda campaign because of that one man.
Were the majority of the German and European Jews disloyal? Yes, at least the so
called liberal Jews, similar to the liberal Jews today that opposes
nationalism/Zionism and supports multiculturalism. Jews that support
multiculturalism today are as much of a threat to Israel and Zionism (Israeli
nationalism) as they are to us. So let us fight together with Israel, with our
Zionist brothers against all anti-Zionists, against all cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists. Conservative Jews were loyal to Europe and should
have been rewarded. Instead, he just targeted them all… So, are the current Jews
in Europe and US disloyal? The multiculturalist (nation-wrecking) Jews ARE while
the conservative Jews ARE NOT. Aprox. 75% of European/US Jews support
multiculturalism while aprox. 50% of Israeli Jews does the same. This shows very
clearly that we must embrace the remaining loyal Jews as brothers rather than
repeating the mistake of the NSDAP. Whenever I discuss the Middle East issue
with a national socialist he presents the anti-Israeli and pro-Palestine
argument. He always seem unaware of the fact that his propaganda is hurting
Israeli nationalists (who want to deport the Muslims from Israel) and that he is
in fact helping the Israeli cultural Marxists/multiculturalists with his
argumentation. In all five discussions they have moderated or fully changed
their views after the discussion as they realize what they have done. But I was
unable to discuss this issue further after I was banned and kicked out by
Stormfront and another national socialist forum.
In any case; educate yourself and learn the difference. Today’s conservatives
and want-to-be Nazis are ignorant when they obsess so much over the Jews. There
is no Jewish problem in Western Europe (with the exception of the UK and France)
as we only have 1 million in Western Europe, whereas 800 000 out of these 1
million live in France and the UK. The US on the other hand, with more than 6
million Jews (600% more than Europe) actually has a considerable Jewish problem.
But please learn the difference between a nation-wrecking multiculturalist Jew
and a conservative Jew. Don’t make the same mistake that NSDAP did. Never target
a Jew because he is a Jew, but rather because he is a category A or B traitor.
And don’t forget that the bulk of the category A and B traitors are Christian
Europeans. 90% of the category A and B traitors in my own country, Norway, are
Nordic, Christian category A and B traitors.
Unification of all European cultural conservatives under the KT banner
We will defeat the cultural Marxists/multiculturalists because they seek to wipe
out everything European. We will not forgive them and we will show them no mercy
whatsoever unless they fully capitulate to our forces within 2020. But we must
fight them for the RIGHT reasons, and NOT because we want to pick up what Hitler
tried to do. So for God’s sake; please join the PCCTS, Knights Templar as a
Justiciar Knight in our pre-emptive war against the EUSSR/US cultural tyranny
under OUR banner, or any other, but NOT under the swastika. 60% of NSDAPs
policies were great classical conservative policies and the PCCTS, Knights
Templar share these conservative policies even today. But the remaining 40% of
the policies are not worth fighting for.
Have no doubt, every single political contribution counts whether it is through
the barrel of a Ruger Mini-14 or through an essay! The former will amplify the
latter and vice versa. Considering the fact that the multiculturalist press is
boycotting all true conservatives; conservative intellectuals really have no
other choice than to amplify their messages through violent means. The other
point is that when a conservative revolutionary contributes to the field of
“revolutionary science” he will have little credibility and will be viewed as
nothing more than an “arm chair general” unless he leads and illustrates through
practical implementation.
Know that our phase 1 “physical” conservative revolutionary contributions are
not to defeat this monster but to create awareness with the intention of
creating sympathizers and direct contributors. Our military contributions, in
phase 1, will only make out a fraction of the combined “cuts”required to kill
the 7-headed monster. The bulk of the cuts will be inflicted by the monster
itself out of ignorance and its unwillingness to embrace logical and pragmatic
principles and policies (primarily by its inability to prevent and reverse
Islamisation). The current cultural Marxist/multiculturalist regimes will fall
and collapse under their own and Islam’s weight. Our primary objective is to
consolidate and be ready to seize this opportunity, through violent means, when
this window of opportunity opens up within 20-70 years. Remember, the success of
our revolution will never seem further away than the day before we actually
succeed!
To quote the Marxist terrorist and mass-murderer Fidel Castro;
“I began the revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I would do it with
10 or 15 individuals with absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are
if you have faith and a plan of action.”
“New” emerging tribes, future political and cultural threat?
There is a Hispanic, criminal supremacist group in the US called; La Raza (the
race). They oppose European (European American), African and Asian interests
based on ethnicity. The name La Raza is used to describe the race formed by the
fusion of Europeans, Native American and African peoples in Latin America. This
illustrates that mixed people of set sources will eventually become ethnic aware
and start to work against the minorities in that nation, which are those of pure
European or Native American heritage. The point to this illustration is that
there will always be minorities in a country, there will always be
discrimination and minorities will more or less always be discriminated against.
The ultimate goal of any tribe must therefore be to never come in a position
where it is reduced to a minority. The large majority of ethnical groups of the
world, except the Rom/Gypsies and some Latin American Indians, control their own
sovereign territories. As such, there is no reason why anyone has to live as a
minority if they do not desire to do so. Each tribe must do absolutely
EVERYTHING to ensure that no other tribe attacks them demographically through
immigration or higher birth rates.
In order to predict any future emerging of/or consolidation of “new tribes” in
Europe, it is essential to review the new/old definitions and work to name the
unnamed groups:
Mulatto:
1. A person having one European and
one African parent. 2. A person of
mixed European and African ancestry. - moo-lat'o, -lä'to, myoo-)n., pl.
mu·lat·tos or mu·lat·toes.
ETYMOLOGY: Spanish from Arabic muwallad, person of mixed race, from walada, to
engender, give birth.
Quadroon (25% African, 75% European)
Octoroon (12,5% African, 87,5% European)
ETYMOLOGY: Greek okta-, okto-, from
okto, Latin octo-, from octo prefix
of Eight+ - quad)roon
The terms mulatto, quadroon, and octoroon originated with the racial policies of
European colonizers in the Americas, especially the Spanish. Because civil
rights and responsibilities were based directly on the degree of European blood
that a person had, such classifications were highly elaborated, and minor
distinctions in ancestry were carefully recorded. While these terms have highly
precise definitions, in actual practice they were often used based on
impressions of skin color rather than definite knowledge of ancestry.
European-Semitic/Arab European/Jewish European
A person of mixed European and semitic blood.
In linguistics and ethnology, Semitic refers to a language and ethnic family
comprising of the peoples living in primarily the Arabic areas of the Middle
East and Northern Africa. Berbers, Arabs, Jews, Assyrians, Copts are all
considered to comprise the semitic ethnic groups.
Creole:
1.) A person of mixed African and
European ancestry who speaks a creolised language, especially one based on
French or Spanish. 2.)
An African slave born in the Americas as opposed to one brought from
Africa.
Metisse:
1.) The offspring of a European and
an American Indian. 2.)
The offspring of an European and a quadroon; an octoroon.
Eurasian:
Has been in use since the mid-19th century to refer to a person of mixed
European and Asian birth. It was coined during the British rule over India and
was long used primarily in designating a person born to a British father and an
Indian mother. In a contemporary context Eurasian has a much wider application,
denoting only that one parent is Asian and the other European.
Hapa:
Native Hawaiians used this word to describe someone who was "half Hawaiian". In
colonial times, it was often combined with the word "haole" which meant
stranger, foreigner, or white person. As time passed, "hapa" was used on the
Continental United States by Japanese Americans and other Asian to describe a
person of partial Asian ancestry. Many Nisei - second generation Japanese
Americans) considered the term to be derogatory. Today, "Hapa" is simply
accepted as a way to describe a person of partial Asian ancestry.
Mestizo:
A person of mixed racial ancestry, especially of mixed European and Native
American ancestry. n., pl.
mes·ti·zos or mes·ti·zoes. ETYMOLOGY: Spanish, mixed, mestizo, from Old Spanish,
mixed, from Late Latin mixticius, from Latin mixtus past participle of miscere,
to mix.
Zambo:
The child of a Mulatto and a Black person; also, the child of an Indian and a
Black Person. Also Sambo.
Griffe:
A person of mixed negro and American Indian blood. The offspring of a mulatto
woman and a negro; also, a mulatto.
Mestee/Mustee/Metisse:
1. The offspring of a European and an American Indian.
As far as I know, there are no words which define the mixing of the three
European sub-races: Nordic/Germanic, Alpine and Mediterranean. Such definitions
would probably be relevant in Europe but less relevant in the US. It is common
to refer to inter-European mixing with emphasis of the country of origin. F
example; French-Norwegian or German-Italian etc.

PCCTS, Knights Templar message to all minority groups and mixed individuals
Know that we, the PCCTS, Knights Templar, are not a racist organisation.
Individuals of all races, providing that they are Christian, can join and fight
for the Knights Templar as Justiciar Knights. Your contribution for the
conservative cause will guarantee you and the loyal members of your family
permanent residency in Europe. You will be embraced as a fellow citizen if you
shed blood with us, have no doubt about that. The future of all minorities in
Europe will depend on where their loyalty is and will NOT be based on their skin
color or ethnic origin. Needless to say; individuals that have proven to be
disloyal (by directly or indirectly supporting cultural
Marxism/multiculturalism) will have no future in Europe and will be deported.
So called neutrality until the day of the takeover/coup d’état will not be an
option if you want a future in Europe. You must be able to prove your loyalty by
establishing a verifiable track record (support or membership to a conservative
non-violent or revolutionary organisation) in order to prove your loyalty.
Conversion to Christianity, changing of name (where applicable) or change of
customs at an early stage will also support your candidature for permanent
residency. It is only a slight possibility that it will be the Knights Templar
that will be the dominating conservative force in your country when this may
apply. Obviously, the rules and requirements for permanent residency will be set
by the new regime and not by us. As such, consider these guidelines as an
expected equivalent to what you can expect.
It is likely that when enough new conservative European regimes have
consolidated, they will create a new zone or use an existing one between the
European and the Islamic world which will be the destination point for disloyal
individuals of mixed origin and other individuals which for various reasons do
not have access to a specific non-European country. Loyal individuals of mixed
origin, on the other hand, will and should be embraced as brothers.
All members of minority groups will over the next few years have to make a
choice. I just hope they make the right one. Their future in Europe will rely on
it.
Sex is probably the most powerful and under analyzed motivator for man on earth.
Had it not been for the some abstract illusions of sex, Leiv Eiriksson or
Christopher Columbus would probably not have discovered America, Muhammad’s
armies would not have conquered much of the world (ref: 72 virgins is a good
incentive for martyrdom, wouldn’t you say?), and the cultural Marxists would not
have successfully managed to take control of our societies. During the sexual
revolution in the 70s, the Marxists managed to infiltrate and claim this liberal
concept, enabling them to exploit the sexual revolution for their own benefit.
So how do we preach chastity to a mob who wants unlimited access to free sex?
The answer is that we don’t. Instead, we must copy the Marxist strategies by
integrating or at least offer any and all liberals the freedom of unlimited sex
in a future scenario. We must present concepts that are credible and ensures all
aspects of individualism for those who seek it (with the exception of
hate-ideologies like multiculturalism, Islam etc). This does not mean that our
future societies will end up as anarchies which is what pure liberalism is.
The only difference is that we are at the same time presenting concepts
of chastity and chivalry at the same time. So how is this possible, how can we
ensure that both conservatives and liberals are happy? The solution is liberal
zones segregated from the rest of the society, a more thorough implementation of
the US “liberal zone” model. Consider it as a doctrine of “Las Vegasism”. The
concept of “Sex and the city lifestyles” will not be glorified as it is today
but restricted to our future Las Vegas zones giving everyone who truly desires
this form of lifestyle the opportunity to pursue his or her definition of
happiness while at the same time protecting the rest of society from social and
moral break down. We must never make the mistake of confusing liberal concepts
with Marxist concepts. Individualism and the sexual revolution is not a Marxist
concept but rather a liberal one. Yes, the cultural Marxists managed to
infiltrate various organisations and took credit for the sexual revolution
although that is another discussion. Isolated, “sex and the city lifestyle” is
relatively harmless, but if you glorify it and ram it down the throat of
mainstream society like we see today it becomes a lethal and destructive
societal force as we are witnessing which eventually leads to a complete
breakdown of moral/ethics, the nuclear family model and a sustainable fertility
rate which again is leading us to the extinction of Europeans.
These liberal zones must be completely “ideologically” cut off from the rest of
society to avoid cultural contamination. By focusing on this middle way we are
respecting the wishes of the conservatives and the liberals. This should be a
compromise we can live with.
If we however fail to compromise and instead contribute to ram a puritan and
deeply conservative way of life down the throat of everyone we will only defeat
ourselves. Unwillingness to reason with the individualists/liberalists will only
be counter-productive and will prevent us from ever seizing political power.
Using the sexual revolution to our advantage will contribute to our success.
Sexual ethics (also referred to as sexual morality) refers to those aspects of
ethics that deal with issues arising from all aspects of sexuality and human
sexual behaviour. Broadly speaking, sexual ethics relates to community and
personal standards relating to the conduct of interpersonal relationships, and
deals with issues of consent, sexual relations before marriage and/or while
married, including issues of marital fidelity and premarital and non-marital
sex, issues related to sexuality, questions about how gender and power are
expressed through sexual behaviour, questions about how individuals relate to
society, and questions about how individual behaviour impacts public health
concerns.
Ethical dilemmas which involve sex can often appear in situations where there is
a significant power difference or where there is a pre-existing professional
relationship between the participants, or where consent is partial or uncertain.
Breakdown in sexual ethics – overview based on country
The following numbers are based on the current numbers and projections of
women/girls aged 15-30 (the generation born between 1980-1995).
The degree of breakdown in sexual ethics or sexual morality is manifested
through the young women’s susceptibility to have one night stands, pre-marital
sex and the average amount of sexual partners for women during a lifetime. New
generation girls (born between 80-95) have a substantially less conservative
view than older generation girls.

* The breakdown in US sexual ethics varies considerably between liberal states
such as California, New York and Florida in one end and conservative states such
as Utah etc.) Average based on US as a whole.
These findings are based on the experiences of my network of male friends (my
own included). We have visited all these countries and our combined experiences
and findings thoroughly document a relatively precise picture of the current
sexual moral in the various European countries. We are not completely certain of
Canada , Austria, the Netherlands and Belgium but my impression correlates with
the estimates for these countries. It is notable that Protestant countries are
at the bottom of the chart while primarily Catholic countries are at the top of
the chart.
To further illustrate the breakdown of sexual moral in Western Europe
An alarming number of young girls in Oslo, Norway start giving oral sex from the
age of 11 to 12. This might happen at an even younger age if sexual education is
liberalised further. This development must be reversed to avoid complete
collapse in our traditional social structures.
Approximately 50% of my female friends end up under the definition/category;
promiscuous (female sluts) as they have engaged in sexual activity with more
than 20 partners.
A majority of them have been infected with one or more sexually transmitted
diseases – so called STDs such as herpes, chlamydia etc. A promiscuous lifestyle
is glorified by the media through series such as Sex and the City and artists
such as Madonna, Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera and a multitude of other much
nastier artists. The boundaries are gradually deteriorating as this development
is allowed to continue.
We cannot judge individuals too hard who follow media guidelines but we can and
should do everything to restrict the massive influence that the media has.
I am not going to act like a hypocrite and pretend I have not been influenced by
the typical “Sex and the City” lifestyle. I have been under the influence of
this lifestyle as a majority of my friends and even my own family members. I
used to be proud of my “achievements”. However, due to a change of mentality,
all I feel is shame whenever I think about where this is going. I feel shame on
behalf of my city, my country and my civilisation. I loathe the post war
conservatives for not being able to halt the Marxist Cultural Revolution
manifested through the 68 generation. And I am now committed to contribute to
end this diseased culture, lead by the cultural relativists/cultural Marxist
regime.
STDs ruin people’s lives
Under normal circumstances I would never reveal intimate details about my
friends and my family’s personal lives due to societal taboos and shame,
confidentiality issues and loyalty. However, how are we supposed to have a
chance at changing our societies when we refuse to reveal the negative impacts
surrounding the disintegrating moral? I will make an exception here and share
knowledge about a fraction of my closest network. I have limited information and
it is likely that a larger portion of my network have suffered significant
negative issues as a result of “destructive conduct”.
Although I have had a change of mentality a majority of my friends have not. My
stepfather Tore, one of my best friends Marius and my more distant friends
Kristoffer, Sturla and Ronny are all living manifestations of the complete
breakdown of sexual moral. All five have had more than 300 sexual partners (two
of them more than 700) and I know for a fact that three of them have one or more
STDs (probably all of them). I have several other promiscuous (slut) friends and
I could list at least 30 male and females in my social environment if I wanted
to. I don’t blame them personally and it has absolutely nothing to do with envy.
I could easily have chosen the same path if I wanted to, due to my looks,
status, resourcefulness and charm. It’s just terribly sad that my country have
been the victim of severe Marxist infiltration leading to the political
doctrines which have been allowed to destroy all moral and norms, resulting in
the complete breakdown of our once great ethical standards.
My half sister, Elisabeth was infected by chlamydia after having more than 40
sexual partners (more than 15 Chippendales’ strippers who are known to be
bearers of various diseases). Her chlamydia went untreated and she became one of
several million US/European women who were suffering from PID, Pelvic
inflammatory disease caused by untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia which leads to
infertility. As she lives in the US, costs relating to this were not covered by
the state. She and her husband spent 40 000-50 000 USD on two IVF treatments (in
vitriol fertilisation)
a process by which egg cells are fertilised by sperm outside the womb. She was
lucky compared to many as these treatments may cost upwards of 100 000 USD.
Furthermore, as far as I know, due to her condition as a result of the untreated
disease, she needed a
caesarean section for both childbirths. The last c-section almost killed her due
to complications and she needed blood transfusion of more than 5 litres of blood
in total. It is unknown if her two children suffered from pneumonia and
conjunctivitis and other problems in infants born with chlamydia transmitted
from my sister during childbirth.
My mother was infected by genital herpes by her boyfriend (my stepfather), Tore,
when she was 48. Tore, who was a captain in the Norwegian Army, had more than
500 sexual partners and my mother knew this but suffered from lack of good
judgement and moral due to several factors (media – glorification of certain
stereotypes being one). Unfortunately for her, her poor judgment resulted in her
being afflicted by genital herpes. In addition to this, the herpes infection
went to her brain and caused meningitis (this condition is usually rare and
occurs in less than 1% of herpes infected individuals). As a result of this
brain infection, which prevented the spinal fluid from flowing freely, she had
to operate a shunt into her brain as the herpes attacks occurred regularly. She
was forced into early retirement as a result and her life quality has been
significantly reduces since, and she now has the intellectual capacity of a 10
year old. Her STD has not only cause her much hardships, but it has also cost
her and the state up to 1 million Euro.
Both my sister and my mother have not only shamed me but they have shamed
themselves and our family. A family that was broken in the first place due to
secondary effects of the feministic/sexual revolution. I can only imagine how
many people are suffering from STDs as a result of the current lack of sexual
moral.
This mentality is clearly not sustainable and if we are to have any desire to
salvage our civilisation we must ensure that we implement political doctrines to
prevent AND reverse the current development.
Solutions
The European civilisation will not survive if we continue to allow the breakdown
of sexual moral as this will cause all social structures to completely
deteriorate.
Furthermore, we should not judge females harder than males as the same sexual
moral should apply for them as well. So instead of justifying and propagating
“traditional male moral” to both genders, we should instead implement new sexual
ethics for all (primarily through the strict regulation of media after we seize
political and military power within 20-70 years).
Artists such as Madonna, Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera and series such as Sex
and the City must be considered political activists/political movements and the
lifestyles they propagate considered political propaganda. Alternatively,
artists/series/movies propagating/glorifying promiscuousity must be restricted
to liberal zones.
The magnitude of the STD epidemics is a direct cause of the breakdown in sexual
ethics in Western Europe and is also related to liberal third world immigration.
Several Western European countries (Norway included) refuse to test African
immigrants of HIV (due to humanistic principles) even though up to 30% of the
citizens of some African countries are infected.
There are several categories of diseases which is defined as an STD. Bacterial,
fungal, viral, parasites, protozoal are included among the STDs. Oral Herpes
(HSV-1) is not included. Genital (HSV-2) Herpes is. HIV/AIDS is obviously the
most serious of the viral STDs.

Negative impacts as a result of the Western European STD epidemics
Devastating social impact
Some people experience negative feelings related to the condition following
diagnosis, particularly if they have acquired the genital form of the disease.
Feelings can include depression, fear of rejection, feelings of isolation, fear
of being found out and self-destructive feelings leading to suicide in extreme
cases.
People with the herpes virus are often hesitant to divulge to other people,
including friends and family, that they are infected. This is especially true of
new or potential sexual partners whom they consider casual. A perceived reaction
is sometimes taken into account before making a decision about whether to inform
new partners and at what point in the relationship. Many people do not
immediately make their condition known to new partners, but wait until a later
point in the relationship when the partner is already is infected.
How many individuals who commit suicide as a result of infection is unknown but
the number might be higher than we imagine. For women, STDs can also result in
an unwillingness to bear children or even making the woman incapable of becoming
pregnant.
Devastating economical impact
Few comprehensive data exist on the costs associated with sexually transmitted
infections. From the information that is available, however, it is clear that
the economic burden imposed by these infections is extremely high, and that an
increasing proportion of the costs is being borne by public sources of payment.
Costs related to STDs will have a devastating impact on Western European
countries in the future unless we, the cultural conservatives, manage to seize
political and military control and drastically reverse the ongoing cultural
suicide of Europe.
HIV/AIDS, 120-300 billion Euro annually
(Western Europe)
The direct and indirect costs associated with HIV and AIDS were approximately
120 billion Euro in 2009. HIV and AIDS are much more costly than other STDs,
even though there are fewer cases, because of their long-term and devastating
consequences.
Large costs related to subsidising the research of treatments HIV/AIDS is not
included but might total as much as 100-200 billion Euro annually.
PID, 10-20 billion Euro
annually (Western Europe)
On second place comes the cost related to PID, Pelvic inflammatory disease
caused by untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia. PID affects millions of women each
year in Western Europe and is an infection of one or more pelvic organs,
including the uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes. In 2009, the direct and
indirect costs of treatment of PID and PID-related ectopic pregnancy and
infertility in women aged 15-44 totaled an estimated 10 billion Euro. This
includes direct medical expenses, hospital charges, physician fees, inpatient,
care for PID-related ectopic pregnancy and infertility.
Included are indirect costs, which represent the lost productivity of women who
are incapacitated by or die prematurely from PID, lost wages, lost value of
household management not performed because of illness and indirect costs
associated with early deaths related to PID.
Chlamydia, 5-10 billion Euro
annually (Western Europe)
Aproximately 8-15 million cases of chlamydia occurs annually in all Western
European countries (2009 estimate).
The direct and indirect costs of diagnosing and treating uncomplicated chlamydia
and gonorrhea are high and totaled an estimated 5-10 billion Euro in 2009.
Included are costs related to direct and indirect costs associated with
diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia, conjunctivitis and other problems in
infants born with chlamydia transmitted from their mothers during childbirth.
Included are also direct and indirect costs of chlamydial infections for both
men and women – urethritis and epididymitis.
Gonorrhea and herpes, 2-5 billion Euro annually
(Western Europe)
Gonorrhea and herpes also exact a large financial toll, although existing cost
data on these diseases are less comprehensive than those on chlamydia. The total
cost include the medical care costs of diagnosing and treating uncomplicated
gonorrhea, indirect costs, diagnosis and treatment of genital herpes, treatment
of neonatal herpes and screening pregnant women for genital herpes.
Real costs are probably significantly higher
The total costs for the direct and indirect costs for mentioned STDs are
approximately 140-335 billion Euro annually.
These figures does not reflect the full costs of sexually transmitted
infections, since it does not include the indirect costs of herpes; the costs
associated with gonorrheal infections in newborns; or any costs related to
syphilis, HPV and other STDs. The cost of medical treatment for infertility (as
a result of untreated chlamydia) is probably underestimated. Suicides, costs and
loss of time relating to psychological impacts related to infection of the
various STDs are not included. If they were, the costs would probably be
doubled.
The numbers are estimates based on US annual numbers from 1990. The costs may be
significantly higher due to the fact that the Western European countries
subsidise significantly more treatment methods than the US government.

A new mentality, anti-promiscuousity (ROUGH DRAFT)
An anti-promiscuousity mentality should be included in a future secular social
reform agenda and should be spearheaded through the restriction of media rights
(restriction in the availability of pro- promiscuous material) and the reform of
school curriculums.
The idea and illusion of romantic love should be challenged and deconstructed.
Excessive sexuality is a kind of addiction resulting in both physical and social
effects, and contributes to disrupt relationships and causes people to lie and
cheat to achieve the pleasure of sexual gratification.
Excessive promiscuousity (sexuality) is the cause of many of the problems in our
society. We shouldn’t necessarily adapt an anti-sexual stance but at least an
anti- promiscuous stance.
Promiscuousity should be demonised by the media, but instead they encourage
promiscuous lifestyles.
The following are a few arguments against excessive sexuality:
·
Sexuality can complicate relationships (as when people are hostile towards each
other because they are sexually attracted to the same person).
·
Sex may hinder one's spiritual development (non-secular argument).
·
Sexual desire can cause people to place primitive instinct ahead of intellect
(people across the world continue to have unsafe casual sex despite their
awareness of the dangers of STDs, for example).
·
Sexuality asserts itself in the human mind by releasing neurochemicals
comparable to addictive drugs into the brain.
·
Sexual desire can cause people to lie and cheat in the pursuit of sexual
relationships.
·
Sexual desires could be false assumptions that are foisted on you by society,
hence you may need to look at how your sexuality is ideologically and
institutionally constructed.
·
Some opponents of lookism, a recently documented form of discrimination, along
with some proponents of fat acceptance, argue that sexuality, which is usually
based on notion of physical attractiveness, encourages and justifies
obliviousness to the unfairness of discrimination against people who are deemed
unattractive by others.
·
There is not necessarily a difference between consent and coercion, sex can
therefore be a means of oppression.
The myth about marriages based on love must be deconstructed
The illusion about love in a relationship between a man and a woman is the sum
of irrational feelings based on desire. When love fades, and it always does,
there is little to hold the relationship together. The mass media has been
allowed to condition people to believe in a myth that does not exist. A marriage
must be forged as an institution for the raising of children. Marriage must be
based on a specific agreement between a man and a woman who creates an advanced
pact which must have a minimum validity of at least 20 years. This pact must be
forged upon the mutual interest to achieve a goal based on cooperation, on
friendship, proper communication and on mutual respect - not on love. The
irrational emotions known as desire are often mistaken as love. Irrational
desire must never be the fundament of marriage, however love may eventually
come, and it is something that is built over time.
The problem in our society is that the people are deliberately misguided by the
media, who for various reasons have built a myth and several misconceptions
about love. A large proportion of people who get married are set to fail due to
these misconceptions. And it is not necessarily their fault as they have been
misguided by the media and society in general who are building and continue to
maintain false illusions.
The media should not be allowed to continue to misguide people by propagating
lies as it ruins a massive amount of relationships and marriages. The truth
about love must become the new concept and norm:
Love is not about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship.
It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you
build till the end! As for marriages, a man has to realise that marriage is not
an institution for unlimited sex, but an institution for raising children. This
must be taught to people from childhood so they make fewer mistakes later. Too
many people spend their whole life and all their resources to look for a white
rabbit that does not exist. Telling people the truth is the only right thing to
do as it will not only benefit the individual, but society as well.
Lookism (ROUGH DRAFT)
Lookism is discrimination against or prejudice towards others based on their
appearance. The term is not in widespread use, though it appears in major
English language dictionaries.
Lookism has received scholarly attention both from a cultural studies and an
economics perspective. In the former context, lookism relates to preconceived
notions of beauty and cultural stereotyping based on appearance as well as
gender roles and expectations. Important economic considerations include the
question of income gaps based on looks, as well increased or decreased
productivity from workers considered beautiful or ugly by their co-workers.
Erotic capital
(ROUGH DRAFT)
Erotic capital is power possessed by an individual as a result of his or her
sexual attractiveness to others. It is one among other species of capital,
including social capital, symbolic capital, and cultural capital.
erotic capital as accruing to an individual due to the quality and quantity of
attributes that he or she possesses which elicit an erotic response in another.
Some of these attributes may be immutable, such as an individual's race or
height, while others may be acquired through fitness training, plastic surgery,
or a makeover, among other techniques.
Erotic capital is interconvertible with other forms of capital, as when actors
parlay erotic capital into financial capital or social capital.
Females have a significantly higher proportion of erotic capital than males due
to biological differences (men have significantly more prevalent sexual urges
than females and are thus easily manipulated). The female manipulation of males
has been institutionalised during the last decades and is a partial cause of the
feminisation of men in Europe. This highly underestimated factor has contributed
to the creation and rise of the matriarchal systems which are now dominating
Western European countries. European women, in light of the feminist revolution,
are now considerably more influential than men due to the sum of all forms of
capital.
I’ll be the first to admit that there are many sensible feminist policies.
The goal should obviously not be to reverse ALL feminist policies just
for the sake of it. Ignore these sensible feminist policies, and instead focus
on the destructive policies.
Fact: 60-70% of all cultural Marxists/multiculturalists are women. This partly
explains why the gradual feminist revolution is directly linked to the
implementation of multiculturalist doctrines. These feminist cultural Marxists
do not only want more benefits and rights for themselves. They want it all, and
have more or less been awarded with everything they could ever dream of
achieving. They now have complete matriarchal supremacy domestically and
exercise substantial influence in politics. The current matriarchy in Western
European countries is partly the cause of the symptoms that have become
increasingly prevalent. To counter the symptoms it is required to fix the
underlying flaws of our systems. One of the primary flaws is the matriarchal
supremacy we see in several arenas.
The primary trait and value that a majority of women propagate is “compassion”.
While compassion is not always a negative thing it can severely cripple
fields/committees who rely on a minimum degree of cynicism such as the following
fields:
·
Discipline at school (penal policies)
·
Discipline in the community (penal policies for criminals, rehab policies for
drug addicts)
·
Immigration policies
·
Defence policies
·
Business polices (international trade)
·
Church
·
Education sector (feminisation of boys)
·
Domestic polices (the father must always be the head of the family and the laws
of the country must reflect this especially relating to custody rights, in
relation to divorce etc.
Marriage – why “no-fault” divorce is one of our most dangerous social
experiments
No-fault divorce laws were introduced in Western Europe and other industrialised
countries during the 1970s and are being expanded into other regions of the
world today.
The spouse who divorces or otherwise abrogates the marriage contract incurs no
liability for the costs or consequences, creating a unique and unprecedented
legal anomaly. In all other areas of contract law those who break a contract are
expected to compensate their partner, but under a system of 'no fault' divorce,
this essential element of contract law is abrogated."
In fact, the legal implications go farther, since the courts actively assist the
violator. The law generally supports the spouse seeking the divorce, even if
that spouse was the wrongdoer." "No-fault" did not really remove fault,
therefore; it simply allowed judges to redefine it however they pleased. It
introduced the novel concept that one could be deemed guilty of violating an
agreement that one had, in fact, not violated. According to therapeutic
precepts, the fault for marital breakup must be shared, even when one spouse
unilaterally seeks a divorce. Many husbands and wives who did not seek or want
divorce were stunned to learn that they were equally 'at fault' in the
dissolution of their marriages.
While lamenting the high divorce rate is conventional piety among family
advocates, most have refused to challenge the divorce laws. The standard
rationalisation is that to control divorce we must first change the culture. But
no one suggests that changing the culture is a prerequisite for preventing, say,
abortion. While cultural forces certainly contribute, the divorce epidemic has
proceeded directly from a legal system which permits and even encourages it.
Furthermore, it is only because traditional understandings of marriage have
already been severely undermined that homosexuals are now laying claim to it.
Gays to do not want marriage in the traditional mold (1950 version marriage),
only the watered-down version that exists today.
Custody rights
To truly reverse the decline of the family, the momentum must be carried forward
to confront the current destructive matriarchal policies that have
institutionalised “broken family” policies. Our current system produces broken
families and prevents traditional norms based on discipline. The most direct
threat to the family is “divorce on demand”. Sooner or later, if Western Europe
is to endure, it must be brought under control.
The father/patriarch must be given considerably more influence as this is
the only way to ensure the survival of the nuclear family as it will enhance
family integrity. The matriarchal supremacy within the modern households must
seize to exist.
As of now, the mother will always be awarded child custody rights unless she is
mentally ill or a drug/alcohol addict. The system must be reformed so that the
father will be awarded custody rights by default. This will ensure that that
divorce rate will be significantly reduced (by up to 50-70%) and will contribute
to uphold the nuclear family.

Abortion
Abortion should only be allowed in case of rape, if the mother’s life is in
danger, or if the baby has mental or physical disabilities. The liberal zones
may be exempt by this rule.
On demand contraceptive pills
Contraceptive pills and equivalent methods will be severely restricted in
conservative territories. The liberal zones may be exempt by this rule.
Sexual education
Sexual education in schools should be limited to that of 1950/60 Western Europe.
The liberal zones may be exempt by this rule.
Gender based affirmative action in the public and private sector must seize
Qualifications must be the only requirement and nothing else.
In extreme Marxist dictatorships such as Norway, they have implemented
affirmative action policies which require all publicly listed corporations to
have at least a 40% share of females in their company boards. Companies that do
not comply get fined.
“I am opposing to the nation that two children are enough and I have a
scientific explanation for that. Today we see that the average number of
children per family is below two, and this is a wrong policy that Westerners
have adopted. They are paying a heavy price now to preserve their culture and
identity. So why must we follow in their path?”
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, April 18th, 2010
Western European cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elites are arguing that we
need immigration to compensate for our population decline and the dangerously
low birth rates of European women. However, they fail to admit and acknowledge
that they themselves, and their policies, are the reason for the decline.
Secondly, they are reluctant to implement effective measures in order to
increase the low fertility rates.
A future cultural conservative regime would be able to ensure sustainable
fertility rates without the need for mass immigration from Muslim countries.
This can partly be achieved by using Australian or Japanese models. More
components to these models can be added if the result isn’t satisfactory.
European-Australian fertility rates are increasing and are already among the
highest in developed societies. The women in Australia are among the best
educated with the highest standards of living.
The goal for Europe should be to reach and stabilise on an average fertility
rate of 2,1 but we may have to compensate for historical losses by aiming for
2,5 initially and for periods if necessary.
Implementing sustainable reproduction policies will not be possible until we
seize political and military power in phase 2 (2030-2070) or phase 3
(2070-2090).
Future national reproduction policies will rely on how we choose to reform
women’s rights, media-government-social directives/the Church/drug-alcohol
policies/sexual-family ethics and moral. In order for women to be truly
liberated, according to hardcore feminists, she must be free from the pressure
of carrying offspring. But that is not really possibly or at least acceptable as
humanity would be extinct within a generation.
Ensuring sustainable fertility rates does however not necessarily mean that we
have to strip away women their rights as there are alternatives.
We need to increase our fertility rate from the European average (non-Muslim) of
1,5 to 2,1-2,3 (2,1 being a minimum).
This will to a certain degree involve encouraging many 3 child families.
Solutions
Positive incentives:
Giving women more incentives to have children in the form of various welfare
incentives, tax deductions, various incentives aimed at the nuclear family and
similar incentives as has been introduced in Australia and Japan. However, this
alone will not increase the fertility rate more than 0,2-0,3 points.
Here are two suggestions that will ensure a sustainable fertility rate:
Suggestion 1: Conservative model - Back to the 50s – because we know it works
This alternative will involve increasing our national fertility rates from
current 1,5 to 2,1 or even higher. Achieving this will involve several political
reforms and will involve a degradation of women’s rights to a certain degree:
1. Limit the distribution of birth-control pills
(contraceptive pills): Discourage
the use of and prevent liberal distribution of contraceptive pills or equivalent
prevention methods. The goal should be to make it considerably more difficult to
obtain. This alone should increase the fertility rate by 0,1 points but would
degrade women’s rights.
2. Reform sex education:
Reform the current sex education in our school institutions. This may involve
limiting it or at least delaying sex education to a later age and discourage
casual sex. Sex should only be encouraged within the boundaries of marriage.
This alone should increase the fertility rate by 0,1 points.
3.
Making abortion illegal: A
re-introduction of the ban on abortion should result in an increased fertility
rate of approximately 0,1-0,2 points but would strip women of basic rights.
4.
Women and education: Discourage
women in general to strive for full time careers. This will involve certain
sexist and discriminating policies but should increase the fertility rate by up
to 0,1-0,2 points.
Women should not be encouraged by society/media to take anything above a
bachelor’s degree but should not be prevented from taking a master or PhD. Males
on the other hand should obviously continue to be encouraged to take higher
education – bachelor, master and PhD.
A family/wife caring for 3 children will not normally have the capacity to
pursue the same career opportunities as their husbands, nor should they be
expected to. Instead, women should be encouraged to have part time jobs (or 2/3)
although of course not prevented from following the same career paths as males
if they chose to.
4.
Conservative media policies:
Discourage women in general to strive for “sex and the city/Madonna” lifestyles.
The mass media are currently actively glorifying/encouraging “sex and the
city/Madonna” lifestyles which involves the glorification of casual sex,
multiple sex partners and generally an extremely liberal individualistic
lifestyle hostile to the traditional nuclear family values. As such, the
non-restrictions of the mass media is the main cause for our unsustainable
fertility rate of 1,5.
The indirect media/government glorification campaigns through individual
artists, various series, movies and media coverage in general should reflect
this new shift (no more glorification of “sex and the city lifestyles” or
equivalent portrayals. No longer should women be pressured to have equal success
regarding their career as males.
Womens “new role” should be actively illustrated and glorified through series,
movies and commercials. This will involve significant restrictions in media
freedoms and rights. These restrictions and reforms will result in an increased
fertility rate of approximately 0,2-0,3 points.
The end result for implementing the above reforms would be an increase in the
fertility rate up from 1,5 to approximately 2,1-2,4 which would be sustainable.
However, this will also involve significant restrictions in women’s rights and
media rights.
Suggestion 2: Feminist/liberalist model -
Creating surrogacy facilities in low cost countries and state funded
boarding homes domestically
The following suggestion can only be applied in a highly pragmatical and
rational society that isn’t bound by the paralyzing grasp of today’s cultural
Marxist non-ethics.
An alternative which would prevent the need to restrict women’s rights and media
rights would be to allow the state to play an essential role in national
reproduction. This would mean allowing European Federation women to continue
their current path toward liberating themselves from the pressure of carrying
offspring.
This would involve the creation of a network of surrogacy facilities in low cost
countries and basically “outsource breeding”. A gestational surrogate carrier
refers to a woman who carries a pregnancy created by the egg and sperm of two
other individuals by using IVF[1].
IVF or in vitro fertilisation is a process by which egg cells are fertilised by
sperm outside the womb, in vitrio. IVF is traditionally a major treatment in
infertility when other methods of assisted reproductive technology have failed.
The process involves hormonally controlling the ovulatory process, removing ova
(eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a fluid
medium. The fertilised egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient's uterus
with the intent to establish a successful pregnancy. The first "test tube baby",
Louise Brown, was born in 1978. IVF can also be used when parents want to have
multiple births.
The first pregnancy achieved with the use of donor eggs was reported in 1984. By
using in vitro fertilisation (IVF) techniques, eggs are obtained from the
ovaries of the donor, fertilised by sperm from the other donor, and the
resulting embryo's are placed into the surrogate's uterus. If pregnancy is
achieved, the resulting child will be genetically related to the two donors but
not to the surrogate.
Who will care for these children? Career obsessed women who does not prioritise
reproduction is not likely to have the will to care for these surrogacy babies
either so there would not be enough foster parents.
The state role as “foster parents”
The only alternative would be that the state, or state funded institutions take
on the role for fostering these children. This is how the arrangements could
work:
A large facility or a so called “boarding home” is created which is divided into
5 separate areas:
-
Kindergarden boarding home (age 0-6)
-
Primary school boarding home (age 6-12)
-
Secondary school boarding home (age 12-16)
-
High school boarding home (age 16-19)
-
College/university boarding home (age 19-25)
Describing the complete process - example:
6 babies, 3 boys – 3 girls, are delivered to the boarding home during the first
6 months of the year, 6 more babies, 3 boys – 3 girls, are delivered during the
next 6 months.
The first 6 are assigned a specific surname, f example Andersson and two full
time “parents/guardians”, one male and one female. From now on, these 6 babies
are considered brothers and sisters. Together with their two “parents/guardians”
they are considered a unique family, and will not be separated for the rest of
their lives. These two full time employees (one male, one female) who will act
as their parents/guardians will follow them throughout their lives.
This setup will facilitate and encourage close bonding as they will do as many
activities as possible together to ensure a stable and warm relationship
allowing the development of trust, friendship and “family ties”.
Year 0-6 – kindergarden: 08.00-16.00
Kindergarden facility: The Kindergarden facility will be separated from the
kindergarden boarding home facility and will have a pre-defined number of
employees depending on number of children.
Kindergarden boarding home: There will be 1 full time caretaker for every 10 or
20 children who will stay/work at the boarding home in case of sickness etc. If
a child is sick she or he will care for the child at the boarding home facility.
16.00-24.00
The “mother” and “dad” may be available at the same time or may arrange their
schedule so the times are somewhat overlapping. This model will be used for the
4 other homes.
-
Primary school boarding home (age 6-12)
-
Secondary school boarding home (age 12-16)
-
High school boarding home (age 16-19)
-
College/university boarding home (age 19-25)
In addition to the assigned and financially compensated “mum/dad” there may be
additional fostering services added such as the opportunity for childless career
oriented individuals to adopt a family (6 children) and spend time with them on
a weekly basis and/or during holidays.
How many of these boarding facilities will be required to sustain the birth
deficit of a country?
That will depend on which policies the regime chooses to implement relating to
reproduction. If we are not interested in the “50s model” and instead continue
with “business as usual” with a fertility rates of 1,5 we will require many
surrogate and boarding home facilities.
Example country
A country of 5 000 000 with a fertility rate of 1,5 would have a birth rate of
approximately 9,72 births/1000 population annually:
9,72
x 5000 = 48 600 annual births.
In order for the same country to reach a fertility rate of 2,1 it would need to
have an annual birth rate of 15,73/1000 population:
15,73
x 5000 = 78 650 annual births.
The annual birth deficit for this country is therefore
30 050.
In other words, each year 30 050 babies will have to be ordered from surrogate
facilities in low cost countries and delivered to the kindergarden boarding
homes.
Every male/female donor will reproduce a maximum of 100 children. As such, there
will be a requirement of at least 300 donors annually (for the reproduction of
30 000 children) depending on the desired restriction ratio to prevent future
inbreeding effects.
This will be a large industry requiring a parent/guardian work force of at least
10 000 (2 full time employees per 6 children).
However, the above “reproduction industry” will ensure that the country has a
sustainable fertility rate of 2,1 which can be adjusted should the women of that
country decide to be a little more like Madonna or the women in “sex and the
city”. Most importantly, that country will not be depending on any immigration
at all.
Donor Recruitment
This option is usually arranged through established egg/sperm donation programs.
Existing European programs must be drastically increased to facilitate
large-scale programs. Women in IVF programs may forward their excess eggs to
other surrogates. One donor should however not donate more than 100 eggs/sperm
doses to avoid potential future inbreeding effects. This number may be adjusted
based on distribution area. All donors will be compensated financially for their
expenses, time, risk, and inconvenience associated with the process.
Selecting and screening egg/sperm donors
All egg and sperm donors must be screened according to high pre-defined
standards including genetic diseases. Optimally, the donors should score high in
interpersonal, verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, intrapersonal and
visual-spatial intelligence tests[2] and be of the indigenous group (French
genotype in France, Italian in Italy, Nordic in Scandinavia etc.).
Surrogacy
A surrogate is a woman who carries a pregnancy for another woman. The first
surrogate pregnancy occurred in the United States in 1985. Gestational carrier
refers to a woman who carries a pregnancy created by the egg and sperm of two
other individuals. This process involves IVF. In this case, the gestational
carrier is not genetically related to the child.
Setting up surrogate facilities in low cost countries
Anonymous surrogates can be arranged through existing surrogate programs such as
f example the Organisation of Parents Through Surrogacy (OPTS). However,
considering the potentially large scale of this project, dedicated surrogate
facilities should be created in select low cost countries. Surrogates will be
anonymous and are compensated for their services according to market rates.
Screening Surrogates
Surrogacy guidelines are not as well established as they are for donor sperm and
donor eggs. The ideal surrogate is relatively young, has previously carried a
pregnancy without complications, and does not have any habits, such as smoking,
alcohol, or illicit drug use, risky sexual behaviour, or medical disorders such
as diabetes or Rh sensitisation, that could jeopardise the health of the fetus.
A complete medical history and physical exam should be performed as well as
screening for infectious diseases. An evaluation of the surrogate's uterus may
also be recommended, and psychological evaluation is strongly recommended.
Surrogacy programs vary in the amount of information given about the surrogate.
Some programs offer the couple the opportunity to select and interact with the
surrogate, while other programs maintain the confidentiality of the surrogate.
As with donor egg programs, the procedure for a gestational carrier involves
IVF. As noted in the section on donor eggs, the gestational carrier may be given
hormones to prepare her uterus for embryo transfer. The embryos from the
infertile couple will then be transferred to the carrier's uterus. For
traditional surrogacy, the surrogate is inseminated with the male partner's
sperm via ICI or IUI near the time of ovulation. IVF is not necessary for
traditional surrogacy. The success rates for gestational or traditional
surrogacy can vary depending on male and female fertility factors.
Guardian parent recruitment, screening, education and incentives
Screening of guardian parents must be done thoroughly. This is not a 1-3 year
job but instead involves at least 25 year term of commitment. A guardian parent
cannot simply leave his 6 children after 5 years as this would be a catastrophe
to the children. Instead he must be willing to invest at least 25 years of his
life into this choice. The children needs stability and solid social frames.
Bachelor of Professional Guardian Parenthood – 3 year education
A guardian parent must complete a
bachelor degree – f example a degree called: Bachelor of Professional Guardian
Parenthood where he will learn how to be an optimal parent/tutor, everything
from the needs of an infant to the needs of a teenager.
Success through incentive parameters decides wages
The wage of a guardian parent will be closely linked to his success. It will be
an indirect competition between the individual guardian parents and their
families where pre-defined parameters will decide the level of success.
Average grades for the children in the family, measured annually during
kindergarden, primary school, secondary school, high school and
college/university will be a primary factor. An average A for their 6 children
will score the two guardian parents 100 points as the illustration shows:
Scholastic measurement
-
A – 100 points
-
B – 60 points
-
C – 30 points
-
D – 5 points
There will be 4 incentive phases and certain primary factors for measuring
success may be added to the earlier phases
-
Kindergarden – 3 basic points (+1-4 happiness points)
-
Primary school – 7 basic points
-
Secondary school – 10 basic points
-
High school – 15 basic points
-
College/university – 20 basic points
Score per phase
-
Kindergarden: 35-700 points available to attain
-
Primary school: 35-700 points available to attain
-
Secondary school: 50-1000 points available to attain
-
High school: 75-1500 points available to attain
-
College/university: 100-2000 points available to attain
Balance of wage depending on hours invested per phase
The kindergarden phase will obviously involve more invested hours than the high
school but especially the college/university phase. The incentive wage model
must be created so it always motivates the guardian parent to do the best
possible job in every phase. The success of his children must be a deciding
factor for the guardian parents wage and the acquisition of pension points.
Furthermore, successful guardian parents may be awarded in other ways as well
(perhaps on the area that influences the social hierarchy). Regardless, the job
of the guardian parent will be one of the most important ones in society and the
incentives and appreciation should reflect that.
Happyness/psychological measurement
A resulting drop out of school or a 1 year scholastic delay for various reasons
will result in a significant penalty to annual score.
A resulting suicide will result in a significant penalty to annual score.
The recipe for success is to find the balance between happiness/mental comfort
and discipline/hard work.
The national goal must be to beat the currently leading oriental children
(Chinese, South Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese) in every scholastic measurement
and thus achieve a system of excellence that is superior to all known systems.

Further
development of artificial wombs/NICUs
The development of advanced incubator machines/artificial wombs could become an
alternative (or even a substitute) to using surrogates in low cost countries.
This can be done by investing in and developing highly advanced neonatal
intensive-care units (NICU)[1] or by continuing the development of artificial
uterus’s[2] (ectogenesis[3]).

It is proven without doubt that the current mass-democracy model which has been
used in Western Europe the last 50 years has paved the way for our current
problems. “Mass-democracy” has allowed cultural Marxism to hijack society’s
political structures initially through schools, universities and the media. When
the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist regimes in Western Europe are defeated in
phase 3 (2070-2090) a new type of political structure must be created which is
immune to future Marxist attempts of infiltration. This structure should be
protected by a conservative Guardian Council.
Certain political principles should be made permanent and un-alterable in the
future.
Areas of politics which will be ”managed”:
At least one parliament seat should be reserved for a ”Cultural and Scientific
Overseer” which will have the right to veto any new bills presented by
parliament which violates the nations primary doctrines (preferably only used in
extremely rare cases and only when the primary values are threatened).
We must avoid a one-party-state system as this is not desirable in the long run.
As long as we have implemented permanent mechanics in relation to cultural areas
(culture, procreation, defence-security, immigration) we can afford to continue
to guarantee balanced political representation on a majority of other areas.
Cultural aspects – monoculture, Christendom’s position, Scientific goals (20% of
budged will be reserved for Science and development). Protectorate policies – a
future Europe will be protectors for the Middle Eastern Christian states and
Israel, and are obligated to help all Christian groups around the world in their
defence against future Jihads. Assistance should be offered and sent to our
Buddhist and Hindu brothers if they request our help against Jihadi attacks or
campaigns.
Cultural Marxism/European multiculturalism/extreme egalitarianism will be
labelled as racist, genocidal, anti-European hate ideologies and will therefore
be banned permanently.
The justification and driving force for the re-introduction of monoculturalism
will be based on practical issues and circumstances related to social cohesion
and not on hate. This re-introduction of monoculturalism will resemble that of
today’s Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.

A 2002 study found that the prevalence of blue eye colour among
European-Americans in the United States to be 57.4 percent for those born from
1899 through 1905 compared with 33.8 percent for those born from 1936 through
1951. Blue eyes have become increasingly rare among American children, with only
one out of every six – 16.6 percent, which is 49.8 million out of 300 million
(22.4% of European-Americans) of the total United States population having blue
eyes. The plunge in the past few decades has taken place at a remarkable rate. A
century ago, 80 percent of people married within their ethnic group. Blue eyes
were routinely passed down, especially among people of Western and Northern
European ancestry.
About half of Americans born at the turn of the 20th century had blue eyes,
according to a 2002 Loyola University study in Chicago. By mid-century that
number had dropped to a third. Today only about one 1 of every 6 Americans has
blue eyes, said Mark Grant, the epidemiologist who conducted the study.
Grant was moved to research the subject when he noticed that blue eyes were much
more prevalent among his elderly patients in the nursing home where he worked
than in the general population. At first he thought blue eyes might be connected
to life expectancy, so he began comparing data from early 20th-century health
surveys. Turns out it has more to do with marriage patterns.
A century ago, 80 percent of people married within their ethnic group, Grant
said. Blue eyes, a genetically recessive trait, were routinely passed down,
especially among people of English, Irish, and Northern European ancestry.
By mid-century, a person's level of education -- and not ethnicity -- became the
primary factor in selecting a spouse. As intermarriage between ethnic groups
became the norm, blue eyes began to disappear, replaced by brown.
The influx of nonwhites into the United States, especially from Latin America
and Asia, hastened the disappearance. Between 1900 and 1950, only about 1 in 10
Americans was nonwhite. Today that ratio is 1 in 3.
With the exception of an increased risk of macular degeneration (blue eyes are
at greater risk) , eye colour is biologically indicative of almost nothing. Boys
are 3 percent to 5 percent likelier to have blue eyes than girls, but beyond
that it's a non-issue, physiologically speaking. The cultural implications are
another story.
Preferences for fair skin and blue eyes stretch back in Europe to at least the
Middle Ages, according to Hema Sundaram , author of “Face
Value”, a book about the history of beauty. For women in particular,
especially those of European descent, fair skin and light eyes have long been
seen as indicators of fertility and beauty.
America adopted those biases early on, and Hollywood reinforced them by
anointing a long line of blue-eyed blondes such as Marilyn Monroe as the
nation's sex symbols.
In the 1930s, eugenicists used the disappearance of blue eyes as a rallying cry
to support immigration restrictions. They went so far as to map the parts of the
country with the highest and lowest percentage of blue-eyed people.
So consumed were Americans with this ideal that in the '70s and '80s the fashion
models who exemplified the All-American look were typically Scandinavian, said
Katie Ford, CEO of Ford Models in New York, which has been in business for 60
years. Blue, by 53 percent, is by far the most popular colour contact lens sold
at 1-800-CONTACTS, the largest contact lens distributor in the US, said Tim
Johnson, a spokesman for the company.
We all remember the horrors from WW2 where the Empire of Japan committed
atrocities against the Chinese by large scale massacres and by using them as
human test subjects for various purposes. Nazi Germany and other countries did
the same thing in a smaller degree and it can’t or shouldn’t be excused.
Unfortunately, the horrors of WW2 created a stigma associated with all future
research and advances in the field of reprogenetics and improving humans
biologically by removing negative hereditary factors. Nevertheless, it is common
today for Westerners to abort if it is proved that the fetus has Down’s
syndrome, severe disfigurements (lacking or additional limbs) or other severe
physical handicaps like dwarfism.
I decided to bring up this topic despite the fact that it is considered
politically suicidal to discuss under the current cultural Marxist regimes. Most
of the propagators of these issues are often affiliated with racist or Nazi
ideologies. It is therefore very important with an anti-racist and anti-fascist
perspective to these debates. Why is eugenics and reprogenetics so extremely
politically incorrect to discuss?
The answer is due to the “negative eugenics programs” of Nazi Germany. Forced
sterilisation and forceful experimentation of human test subjects are factors
used at that time which should never have occurred. Many European countries used
to forcefully sterilise Gypsies/Rom up to aprox 1972 to prevent them from
breeding because they used to be considered “sub-human” etc. These programs are
today referred to as “negative eugenics” due to these and other factors.
In any case, we need to get over this taboo as soon as possible because it is
estimated that the Nordic genotypes will be extinct completely within 200 years.
This is mainly due to intermarriage between Nordics and non-Nordics.
Multiculturalist doctrines have speeded this “indirect extermination process” up
further in many Western European countries so the extinction might happen
sooner. F example the Norwegian cultural Marxist government has created a vast
network of asylum camps all over the country (and in historically isolated small
towns and villages) which will contribute to accelerate this process
substantially. The Nordic genotypes might be wiped out within 200 years and yet
not a single counter-measure has been employed to prevent this from happening
due to the fact that it is considered politically incorrect.
Realistically there are only three ways to prevent this. One solution will be by
introducing negative eugenics programs combined with ethnic segregation somewhat
similar to some policies of the Third Reich. Segregating Nordics and non-Nordic
genotypes at this point would be almost impossible even if you had military and
political carte blanche. Even in Norway and Sweden the number of individuals
with the Nordic genotype is reduced annually at a drastic rate due to EU open
borders program, mass-Asian/African immigration and significantly higher
Asian/African (especially Muslim) birthrates.

As you see, the future projections of the extinction rate are based on current
immigration policies. Eastern European countries will have a slower extinction
rate due to more conservative immigration policies.
Political correctness/cultural Marxism causes the extinction
The countries included in the current EUSSR/USASSR hegemony refuse to discuss
these topics due to the fact that political correctness paralyzes and prevents
all meaningful debate. So the only chance we have to prevent the complete and
utter extinction of the Nordic genotypes and other genotypes for that matter is
depending on what policies the future cultural conservative European Federation
countries choose to implement.
A solution which seems to be the only option which could work in this modern
world would be to commercialise positive reprogenetics programs on a state
level. This will obviously not be possible as long as the cultural Marxists
dominate our regimes due to the fact that they are bound by political
correctness/cultural Marxism. Anyone who suggests a program like this would
immediately be labeled a Nazi and racist which subsequently would end anyone’s
career (character assassination). No Western politician, which is a part of the
current EUSSR/USASSR hegemony, will take this chance. It is therefore up to the
politically incorrect cultural conservatives to take responsibility when we
seize power within 30-70 years. And when we do we should refrain from committing
the same mistakes of the past. We must reject negative eugenics and instead
focus on positive eugenics or so called reprogenetics.
Political correct individuals will say:
“Who cares if blonde people with blue eyes are extinct? We are all going to be
dark skinned in the future anyway.”
Wrong. We are only going to allow the indigenous peoples of Europe to be
indirectly exterminated if we allow it, which we have no intention to allow. The
hypocritical thing is that the same individuals stating this is likely to
support animals that are facing extinction, the preservation of rare species in
the animal kingdom etc. Why should we preserve the polar bears, when we have
brown bears?
According to the logic of the cultural Marxist - blonde, blue eyed people have
lesser value than animals.
There are absolutely no valid arguments for propagating political views which
indirectly result in the extinction of ethnic groups. The mentality just
underlines that multiculturalism is in fact an anti-European hate ideology
created to exterminate everything European. If a rare African or Asian ethnic
group was found with distinctive physical characteristics the current cultural
Marxist hegemony (lead by EUSSR and USASSR) would have no problem at all to
allow and fund a group which goal was to preserve it (they are in fact doing
this in Tibet who is being invaded by Han Chinese). They have no problem to
justify their support to Tibet which makes them nothing more than hypocrites.
Solutions to prevent the extinction of the Nordic genotypes
There are basically two realistic solutions:
1. The commercialisation and state/media encouragement of reprogenetics favoring
the Nordic genotype- See “reprogenetics and the future” for more information.
And/or
2. The usage of large scale surrogacy facilities as a secondary reproduction
option for countries to compensate for non-sustainable fertility rates. The
donors of eggs and sperm will then exclusively carry the Nordic genotypes. See
“National reproduction policies” for more information.
Both solutions are possible and realistic if the political will is there.

Reprogenetics
is a term referring to the merging of reproductive and genetic technologies
expected to happen in the near future as techniques like germinal choice
technology become more available and more powerful. The term was coined by Lee
M. Silver, a professor of molecular biology at Princeton University, in his 1997
book Remaking Eden.
In Silver's formulation, reprogenetics will involve advances in a number of
technologies not yet achieved, but not inherently impossible. Among these are
improvements in interpreting the effects of different expressions of DNA, the
ability to harvest large numbers of embryos from females, and a far higher rate
of reinsertion of embryos into host mothers. The end result, according to
Silver, is that those parents who can afford it will be able to pick out the
genetic characteristics of their own children, which Silver says will trigger a
number of social changes in the decades after its implementation. Possible early
applications, however, might be closer to eliminating disease genes passed on to
children.
According to Silver, the main differences between reprogenetics and eugenics,
the "science" of improving the gene pool which in the first half of the 20th
century became infamous for the brutal policies it inspired, is that most
eugenics programs were compulsory programs imposed upon citizens by governments
trying to enact an ultimate goal.
Reprogenetics, by contrast, would be pursued by individual parents, who would be
trying to improve their children with the same motivations that compel them to
purchase expensive courses in preparation for standardised testing (e.g. the
SAT).
Eugenics would have required a continual selection for breeding of the "fit",
and a culling of the "unfit" while, according to bioethicist James Hughes,
universal access to reprogenetics provided by a welfare state would permit the
conversion of all the unfit to the highest genetic level. However, he shares
Silver's concern that unequal access to reprogenetics could create a two-tiered
society of "GenRich" and "GenPoor", genetically-engineered "haves" and "have
nots" (see the film Gattaca for a
fictional depiction of the latter scenario).
The other contrast is that it is now known that the concept of genetic purity
through eugenics is misguided: this form of genetic purity, insofar as it is
meaningful, is effectively inbreeding and results in poor health and infertility
while the end result of reprogenetics on the gene pool would be reduced
incidence of genetic disease and potentially increased genetic IQ.
Using reprogenetics actively to prevent conflict and war
Creating a World Bank of Genotypes would be an anti-racist solidarity project
which would contribute to prevent conflict and war.
This bank or vault would consist of compilations of all threatened genotypes in
the world included the Nordic genotypes, other European genotypes and Jewish
Semitic etc. These are some of the current genotypes most threatened by
extinction. It is estimated that within 200 years there will be no one left with
the Nordic genotypes, certain African genotypes, certain Asian genotypes and
certain other European genotypes.
Mapping and banking of the genotypes.
Genetic samples/genetic material from a variety of human genotypes, especially
those genotypes that are in the danger zone of being extinct, may be banked in
this vault.
As reprogenetics will be commercialised, these gene banks will be instrumental
in the years to come. Anyone may order the DNA samples of their preference.
If I were a cultural Marxist I would do everything in my power to make this
happen as the commercialisation and encouragement of these technologies would
result in a scenario where many nationalists will have one less argument to
fight for. The same can be said for other “revolutionary indigenous groups” who
are fighting to prevent the extinction of their people. The commercialisation
and further development of reprogenetics has the potential to be one of the
largest peace projects the world has ever seen as it may prevent many civil
wars.
As such, introducing and commercialising a World Bank of Genotypes must be
considered a solidarity project, a peace project, which goal is to prevent
conflict. It gives anyone equal right to the banked material. Anyone can choose
any preference they want out of the world’s genotypes. This type of project has
the potential to end many conflicts once and for all, especially many of those
related to ethnocentrism. The primary drawback would be that only the first
world would have the financial capability of taking advantage of it during the
first decades.
The various indigenous movements around the world will all play they’re part
here and national governments of the parties involved should contribute to
finance and promote it.

The Human Genome Organisation (HUGO)
The Human Genome Organisation (HUGO)
is an organisation involved in the Human Genome Project, a project about mapping
the human genome. HUGO was established in 1989 as an international organisation,
primarily to foster collaboration between genome scientists around the world.
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC), sometimes referred to as "HUGO", is
one of HUGO's most active committees and aims to assign a unique gene name and
symbol to each human gene.

As mentioned several times, the ongoing European civil war is not a class war,
and as such it is not a war between socialism and capitalism. It is a cultural
war between cultural conservatives and cultural Marxists (nationalism vs.
internationalism). Nevertheless, we, the cultural conservatives must ensure that
we continue to have a sustainable economy based on many free market mechanics.
Although globalist capitalism is a destructive concept does not mean that
localised capitalism mechanics are. There must always be potent incentives for
individuals who create work places. A socialist or even a planned economy must
be avoided at all costs.
Laissez-faire
is often used to refer to various economic philosophies and political
philosophies (liberalism) which seek to minimise or eliminate government
intervention in most or all aspects of society. Pure
Laissez-faire capitalism is a
globalist concept (no government intervention) and has several drawbacks. Many
economical protective measures must be in place securing the economical
sustainability of our cultural conservative economic zone (European Federation).
Future cuts in public sector to balance massive in-sourcing of new private
sector jobs
Super inflated Western European bureaucracies/public sectors should be cut from
the current average 50-60% down to aprox 25%. There will be a buffer consisting
of a pool of public work places equivalent to an additional 10% which can be
created temporarily during recessions (from 25 to 35% of all jobs). These
significant cuts will have a huge impact on many Western European public
structures that currently have massive and super-inflated public sectors.
However, millions of new work places will be in-sourced as a result of our
future plan to implement significant toll barriers for non-European Federation
economical zones. There will be a European anti-globalist shift of gigantic
proportions which will result in the re-creation of former work places
previously outsources to non-EF countries. The future Western European public
sector vs. private sector models re-introduces the concept that a state should
serve its citizens, not the other way around. The future state which has
undergone a significant diet will be better suited to spearhead the focus of the
furthering of civilisational goals.
Economic solidarity/future welfare state
It is unrealistic to think that there will be complete economic equality in
nations who have free markets.
However, we should attempt to follow the Scandinavian welfare model to a certain
degree to ensure a solid welfare program to all European citizens. Maintaining a
sustainable solid welfare system depends on hard working individuals and social
cohesion/a monocultural society. Welfare expenditure should not take precedent
over the 20% fixed sum dedicated to science/technology, research and
development. The furthering of long term European interests and securing the
long term sustainability of our European civilisation must always take precedent
over short term excessive welfare expenditure (greed).
Future Economic zones
The main problem with many Asiatic countries is that they do not respect
intellectual property ownership, thus the products of many industries are
systematically stolen and/or illegally misused.
Furthermore, we can’t really compete with countries like China etc. Inviting
them to the WTO was one of the biggest mistakes made the last 60 years resulting
in the loss of millions of European jobs.
Japan, South Korea and several other nations are also playing outside the rules
by manipulation of their own currency to benefit on import/export issues.
To illustrate Japans cynicism, just study the Kodak case. Kodak should have had
at least 30-40% market share in Japan. The problem is however that many
European/US products are openly boycotted due to the nationalistic/protectionist
tendencies/mentality of Japanese government and people. Unlike Europe and the
US, Japanese individuals are much more imbued with patriotism and the
un-interrupted social cohesion (Japan and South Korea rejected multiculturalism)
is the reason why their “mass-democracy model” is still functioning well.
We should create a new economical zone – European Federation - where: Europe,
US, Russia (+ Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel) have certain privileges.
Only globalist companies that have majority ownership of
individuals/companies/nations of this trio should be allowed full privileges in
European Federation markets. More protectionist mechanics are needed outside
this economical zone. Outsourcing of jobs outside this zone should not occur.
Alternatively, we could create certain isolated areas inside these zones that
works like a hub (where 2nd/3rd worlders are allowed to
work for a maximum of 12 months (12 month contracts).
Several international (globalist) companies have too much influence at the
moment and we are witnessing that they are pushing for more immigration, even
Turkey EU membership. It is essential that we ensure that the national states
have a controlling stake in these companies or alternatively disallow them to
enjoy the current rights in our markets. International companies (where we do
not own a majority) should be banned from lobbying and should not be able to
have any influence whatsoever regarding immigration, outsourcing policies and
state sovereignty.
Future servant class
It would be logical to use cheap foreign labour especially within the
construction sector. These workers should be given 12 month “focus contracts”
and must return to their country of origin after the term has ended. Focus
contracts involve working up to 12 hours per day. These individuals will be
offered competitive wages (compared to their country of origin).
One of the primary arguments for modern mass immigration is to justify the
demand for labour, jobs the indigenous Europeans are unwilling to take. Now, who
will take these jobs when we have halted immigration completely and deported all
the Muslims?
The problem with the current model of mass immigration is that every individual,
depending on country, is awarded citizenship within 7 years. The children of
these first generation immigrants are not interested in the jobs the parent
generation took so we have to accept even more immigration to fill in these gaps
every two decades. It develops into a never ending spiral of mass immigration
which eventually leads to a situation where the indigenous people end up as a
minority.
The following solution will provide a servant class covering the following
professions:
-
Cleaning
-
Construction work
-
Gardening
-
Taxis
-
Farming/harvesting
6-12 month “focus contracts” will be offered to individuals from Bangladesh,
Pakistan and India (these services may be reserved for Christians, Hindus, Sikhs
and Buddhists considering our Hostile stance towards the global Islamic Ummah).
These will be flown in in bulk every month and will leave at the end of the
contract. During their stay they will work 12 hours a day for the duration of
their contracts (6 or 12 months) and are then flown back to their homelands.
There should be at least a 6 month quarantine period between every 12 month
contract to prevent the individuals from becoming too culturally attached.
These individuals will live in segregated communities in pre-defined areas of
each major city and must be provided free medical services, free housing in
restricted barrack towns and subsidised food /essentials and subsidised
transportation costs. This will allow them to return with a larger portion of
their salary. They will be compensated at a rate equivalent to 300% of what they
would have earned in their country of origin.
F example, if they would have earned 200 Euro per month in Bangladesh they will
earn 600 Euro here.
This might sound cynical to especially females (this is not slavery as slavery
is taking away peoples freedom) but it is in fact much more generous than what
currently Arab countries (Saudi Arabia, Dubai, UAE etc.) are offering their
guest workers from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and the Philippines.
More than 90 per cent of the total UAE workforce is made up of foreigners
(mainly from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh). None of the foreigners are granted
citizenship but usually work on 12 month contracts with very low wages.
Furthermore, these arrangements are not very different from what the southern
states in the US are currently offering Latin American guest workers.
Most importantly, large scale implementation of these “guest worker”
arrangements will prove to be a very efficient source of cheap labour and these
arrangements can be easily regulated to accommodate bull and bear markets.
Because there will be recessions or slow periods when we will need many of these
jobs for our own people while there may be economical booms which will involve
increased use of these arrangements.
The economical impacts of extensive usage of these “guest worker” arrangements
will have significant impacts on the competitiveness of our civilisation, our
economic zone and will ensure that we will have the required funds (20% of GDP)
to channel into science, research and development (and of course to secure this
scientific capital from theft from non-EF countries).
It will allow us to become the economical powerhouse of the world and the beacon
of light for all humanity. It will allow us to contribute significantly to the
furtherance of mankind.
End note: Multicultural zones with extended use of “guest workers” can also be
considered in protectorate states outside Europe such as liberated Christian
Anatolia and liberated Christian Albania.
a.
Gender-segregated schools
All primary, secondary and high schools should be gender segregated.
All private and government, primary, secondary and high schools should have
compulsory gender segregation. Gender segregation should also be considered for
colleges and universities.
Throughout history, society has gone through many phases dealing with societal
norms in the areas of education, culture, religion and morals. Sometimes these
phases are cyclical, which can be a good or bad thing.
The recent trend is single-sex education in public schools. After nearly a
40-year absence, people are starting to realise that the education system that
was in place for the last part of the 19th century and the first half of the
20th century was successful.
The bottom line is the same: Separate the girls from the boys.
There are many factors influencing success. For instance, whenever the
distraction of boys is taken away from girls or vice versa, students no longer
have to worry about how they dress, who they have to impress or who their
friends are. Instead, they are able to concentrate more on academics.
Also, in single sex classrooms teachers can focus on the environment in which
the particular gender learns better. Dr. Leonard Sax, a Maryland physician and
psychologist, found in a study that girls tend to learn in a quiet and slower
paced environment and liked to be called by their first names whereas boys like
things energetic, fast paced and prefer to be called by their last names.
This is a nationwide trend re-appearing with the number of single-sex public
schools increasing from four to 140 over the last eight years, according to Sax.
And the trend keeps growing. CNN reported at least 10 single-sex schools were to
open this fall in Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and South Carolina.
This trend has such a positive impact on public schools that the U.S. Department
of Education is looking to change parts of Title IX, the law that bars sex
discrimination.
According to studies done by the National Association for Single Sex Public
Education, over the last 40 years, co-educational schools may have done more
damage than good. To a point, these schools help reinforce gender stereotypes
rather than breaking them down.
The single-sex school trend is seen in other countries such as Japan, England,
Australia and Jamaica. Studies have shown the difference between co-educational
schools and single-sex schools has been significant, mainly in the areas of
standardised test scores and grades. The single-sex public schools are producing
higher grades and test scores than co-educational schools.
If these schools are as successful as people perceive them to be, one must hope
that eventually colleges will continue the trend. The single-sex education trend
should not be mistaken for some passing fad. Separating the sexes has positive,
long-term impacts that universities around Europe should consider.

School uniforms
are common in primary and secondary schools in many nations. School uniforms in
Australia have traditionally followed the model of their British counterparts.
All private and government schools should have a compulsory uniform policy for
primary, secondary and high school.
School uniforms are common in United Kingdom, Australia, China, Israel, Japan,
Malaysia, Singapore and many other countries.

Development of alternative energy, to reduce dependency of oil
Getting around is necessary, oil is not. Considerable efforts should be made to
further develop high-power Lithium-Ion batteries. The goal should be to aim for
oil independence. This will not only save the environment; it will completely
devastate many Muslim countries economically which will weaken the ongoing
Islamic imperialism.
New civilisational goal - the pursuit for scientific and technological evolution
The never-ending collective pursuit for scientific evolution and perfection
should become the benchmark and essence of our existence instead of glorifying
individuals acquisition of wealth and “lookism”. There must always be
incentives. We should just change what types of incentives we wish to glorify.
This type of civilisational shift is only possible under a strong
”nationalistic” framework.
The following might seem like science fiction to some but I believe we should
have ambitious and visionary goals:
We should focus on specific goals in this regard;
a.
Developing a brain-computer interface (BCI) which provides a direct path of
communication from an external device to the brain. The goal should be to create
an alternative to educational institutions. Downloading information to the brain
more efficiently can free up 15-30 years of an individual’s life which normally
would have been used for studies. This might take decades to develop and
hundreds of billions spent but imagine how it would revolutionise our world.
b.
Biological perfection - reprogenetics
The Nazis destroyed the reputation of “eugenics” by combining it to scientific
racism and mass extermination. But seeking biological perfection is still a
logical concept and I don’t see why we should abandon it. We just have to make
sure that we offer it as a voluntary option to everyone or at least start by
legalising it (promotional voluntary reprogenetics or private reprogenetics). We
should legalise reproductive technologies that will allow parents to create off
spring with biological improvement (reprogenetics). This must be a non-coercive
form of biological improvement which will be predominantly motivated by
individual competitiveness and the desire to create the best opportunities for
children.
Overconsumption, pollution and overpopulation
Overconsumption, pollution and overpopulation are the three problems that
threaten the future of life on Earth. The three problems intersect and are
interactive, but they are also separate and distinct.
The cultural conservatives guide to reduce pollution:
1.
All 2nd and 3rd world countries (where the average birth
rate is above 2,1) are to implement 1 child policies until their country is
stabilised in regards to financial outlooks and overconsumption, saving their
forests etc. This will both solve their poverty problem and result in drastic
cuts in global pollution due to the fact that the population (consumer)
explosion will be reversed. You cannot have any hope of reducing global
pollution unless you focus on reducing the current population explosion in 2nd
and 3rd world countries. Any country that does not comply will not
receive any incentives (aid, development funding/loans, and trade import/export
concessions). This approach can also be used for giving these countries
incentives to stop them from cutting down their forests.
2.
Decrease global consummation through implementing protectionist policies. The
future cultural conservative European Federation (Europe w/Russia, US, Canada,
Australia, NZ will introduce significantly higher import taxes which will
significantly give European producers the profitability they need to re-build
their industries and to remain economically sustainable. China and certain other
countries will be expelled from the WTO (a new reformed WTO with emphasis on the
European Federation countries. Prices on non-European goods will be considerably
more expensive which will reduce demand significantly. Capitalistic principles
within the new economic zone should still be the preferred economical model
(local/national entrepreneurship with sufficient enough financial/tax incentives
to ensure a thriving and healthy economy).
3.
All globalist companies will be nationalised (a minimum of 50,1% ownership must
be re-distributed to EF governments hands (combined) at any given time, for
their respective countries). Investors with majority control who refuse this
re-nationalisation process will have their respective corporation expelled from
the European Federation monetary zone (losing trading concessions). Ensuring
state control is the only way to avoid that globalist capitalist political lobby
groups continue to negatively influence European policies relation to
immigration and multiculturalism.
4.
Phase out diesel/benzin vehicles (and thus end our dependency on Muslim oil) and
focus on commercialising electric cars/battery cells. This will be a lot more
significant problem in the US due to their decentralised infrastructure but much
easier in Europe. Larger vehicles (trucks/planes/ships) will in the
unforeseeable future still have to rely on diesel/benzin/bunker oil until we
have managed to develop battery cells with sufficient power. The development of
these battery cells will be a prioritised task.
5.
Building a vast network of nuclear power plants. This will ensure the cleanest
energy available when compared to invested resources.
Global population control
First of all we have to ask ourselves. What population size can our planet
support? This can be rephrased, in ecological terms, as "What is the carrying
capacity of the planet", as applicable to human populations, specifically. The
carrying capacity is the number of individuals an environment can support
without significant negative impacts to the given organism and its environment.
According to www.footprintstandards.org;
In 2005, the bio-capacity of the Earth was 13.6 Ggha, and the population was 6.5
billion; therefore, the sustainable per capita global footprint was 2.1 gha. But
aggregate demand was for 17.5 Ggha, which represents a per capita demand of 2.7
gha.
In other words, in 2005 we were overdrawing the bio-resource account by about
29% per annum.
Since 2005, the world population has increased to approximately 6.8 billion
(2008) and the demand for resources from developing economies, such as China,
India, Brazil, and Indonesia has increased substantially—in China, the Beijing
Olympic Games alone must have generated a large increase in demand. On the
supply side of the ledger, the bio-capacity of the Planet has, if anything, been
reduced as the result of ongoing land degradation, forest destruction, and fish
stock depletion. Consequently, at a conservative estimate, demand now exceeds
supply by something like 35–40%.
According to the UN’s most-likely, medium growth scenario (UN 2004), by 2050 the
population of the World is projected to have increased to at least 9.1 billions,
although it is understood this figure is likely to be revised upwards. Some
would suggest the 2050 population will be nearer 9.5–10 billions.

scenario) by income groups (LPR 2008). No allowance is made for redistribution

Overpopulation is not a ”natural” process: It is the outcome of 2nd but
especially 3rd world human behaviour. They caused the problem, they must solve
it. Unfortunately, it is inherent in the collective mindset of our species that
most people avoid even thinking about the problem, let alone acting to try to
solve it. A European cultural Marxist/multiculturalist/suicidal
humanist/capitalist globalist elite created this problem and thus cannot solve
anything.
They created the UN articles stating:
“It is the right of every woman/couple to reproduce and have as many children as
they want…” - this is stated in Articles 12 & 16 of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights.
Telling the second and third world to stop having babies would defy every single
principle a cultural Marxist/multiculturalist believe in. It would involve
offending and discriminating which is unthinkable under their mindset. They are
truly paralyzed as a result. This while the overpopulation, hunger and human
misery progresses. Only a strong, self confident, rationalist and cultural
conservative hegemony (European Federation) can deal with and solve this
problem. Even if the second and third world countries ignores the call of this
”hegemony”, nature will correct their suicidal tendencies as they are unable to
feed their populations.
We should take a leading role in ensuring that we solve or limit this problem.
We must therefore not be afraid to openly criticise countries that have lost
control. We must offer them guidance and assistance in order for them to take
radical steps to reduce their populations. Most of the challenges related to
overpopulation are a direct result of the current cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist appeasement and egalitarian approach. They have
implemented a doctrine where they channel resources to already overpopulated
regions in the 3rd world. By doing this they are creating even bigger
challenges. Furthermore, they are allowing the current development to continue
because we, the rich west, serve as a dumping ground for excessive 3rd
world populations. Instead of fixing the broken pipe, they are acting as a soak
for the water pouring out. This approach completely defies logic and is not
sustainable.
We should create population capacity guidelines for continents or countries. The
guidelines should be based on a combination of the availability of resources and
other factors in an attempt to limit overpopulation. Every country should abide
by these guidelines. If starvation threatens the countries who have failed to
follow our guidelines we should not support them by backing their corrupt
leaders or send any form of aid. There is no general consensus to the carrying
capacity of the planet. Our planet should not exceed 3 billion individuals so
radical policies will have to be implemented (we are currently more than 6,8
billion).
PCCTS, Knights Templar and a future European Federation must propagate a global
population cap of 2,5 billion (1950-level)
The primary principle must be quality over quantity. Europeans will never accept
an approach where Marxist/fanatically egalitarian principles are accepted as the
global norm. Under Marxist reasoning and rules, rational societies would be
punished for the irresponsible behaviour of irrational countries. Why on earth
would Europeans accept a Syrian standard of living because the population
explosion is out of control in Muslim countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh?
All countries must take responsibility based on their own historic track record
in relation to population growth and must commit to reducing their respective
populations to a 1950 population level. Once each country reaches a 1950
population level, measures must be taken to stabilize the growth on that level
which involves keeping the fertility rate at 2,1. A future European Federation
must pressure all 2nd and 3rd world countries to pursue
this goal. Food aid to 3rd world countries must stop immediately as
it is the primary cause of overpopulation.

John Reid http://gpso.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/gpso-john-r-reid-paper.doc
Foreign aid has harmed Africa and should be phased out. Every single donor
country should call their client and inform them that the current aid will stop
in five years. This should apply to the enormous amounts channelled from state
to state and through the World Bank. This will force them to take immediate and
necessary action to implement sustainable measures. Limitless development
assistance to African governments, has fostered dependency, encouraged
corruption and ultimately perpetuated poor governance and poverty.
This view has been propagated by individuals, Conservatives of Europe such as
Peter Bauer and William Easterly for decades but I guess we had to wait for
Dambisa Moyo before anyone listened. Similar views are held by the President of
Rwanda, Paul Kagame and the President of Senegal; Abdoulaye Wade.
Thousands of billion USD have been channelled to Africa the last 50 years with
absolutely no positive results for the continent. During the short period from
1970-98 alone the amount of poor in Africa have increased from 11 to 66%. The
main problem with the aid is that it results in corruption and bureaucracy, to
civil war and to weak political leaders. Aid works as a lethal injection which
protects corrupt leaders, mismanagement, and corruption in general and flawed
politics. Aid prevents the establishment of sustainable functioning societies.
As such, the more aid a country receives the more it plunges into poverty and
corruption.
It’s much easier for an African head of state to just call a donor country and
plead for funds than it is for him to implement sustainable mechanics (which are
often painful short term). And it’s a lot easier for a donor country to give
these ”handouts” than it is to agree on implementing mechanics that might
threaten their own farmers. Chinas approach to Africa should be considered as a
great example of how Europe should act. China views Africa as a partner and not
as a social client.
The fundamental problem with Sub-Saharan Africa is that millions of Africans in
many nations have a broken soul. Many countries are completely soaked in
corruption which is a result of the legacy resulting from the imperialistic
nation building efforts (or rather nation division) combined with five decades
of failed cultural Marxist aid policies. These policies have caused millions of
deaths and has pushed even more people in to poverty. We must discontinue the
current oppressive, racist and genocidal aid policy propagated by the cultural
Marxists EU/US elites which has been in effect the last 50 years. We will stop
the transfer of funds to corrupt third world leaders and instead ensure that
Africans are given a real chance for self determination. Yes, this will involve
a new fundamental write up and ”re-creation of many African territories which
has the potential to result in short term African revolutions and wars.
The first step and approach must be to protect Christian/Animist Africa from
Islam and Jihad. Islamisation must be stopped. Africa must be divided in two – a
Muslim and a non-Muslim part (Christian and Animist). Furthermore, we must
contribute to consolidate the Christian/Animist part by using the same
principles of nation building as that of Europe (creating nation after
ethnic/tribal lines). The old European imperialists were evil in the sense that
they often carved up African countries dividing tribes and mixing opposing
ethnical groups to more easily maintain control (divide and conquer). This has
contributed to paralyzed them through an endless spiral of ethnic and
religious/political conflicts. As such, we have a lot of work to do with Africa.
We must allow the re-creation of certain African nations following ethnic and
tribal lines (and isolating or deport the Muslim groups). We will then be able
to establish a true fundament for African nationalism which again will
contribute to give millions of Africans pride and hope for the future. We must
allow certain corrupt leaders to be removed by allowing or even actively
supporting the non-corrupt African groups militarily. Many corrupt leaders will
have to be removed by force. This is the only rational solution to solve some of
the fundamental problems with many current dysfunctional African nations. Short
term pain is a lot better than condemning many African nations to eternal
misery.
Furthermore;
1.
Average IQ in sub-Sahara Africa is between 63-77 ranging from country[1].
2.
Overpopulation/carrying capacity far exceeded, thus the environment is
destroyed.
3.
The massive food aid prevents African agricultural companies from growing and
becoming sustainable.
4.
The world's response is 10 000 NGO’s trying to "help."
What is needed is NOT another 3. (nonprofit,) but a program that recognises 1.
and works to solve 2.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Doing nothing is preferable to
doing something that makes you feel good, but exacerbates the problem. Doing
nothing is hard, because we are moral creatures, but sometimes doing nothing is
the correct moral response. Yes, it hurts, but life is tough and our morality
calls for us to make the difficult choices.

Future crime prevention
Crime will not be tolerated in a future cultural conservative Europe. Military
campaigns will be launched with full force to break and obliterate the Albanian
and Rom criminal networks (and other large European criminal networks).
Exceptions may be made to criminal networks who have contributed significantly
to the regime changes in Western Europe.
A three-strike-rule should be used as a method for crime prevention
directed against any and all criminals. Third strike leads to either execution
or losing the citizenship followed by subsequent banishment/deportation from the
European Federation territory.
Future European Federation anthem
The formalisation of a new and powerful cultural conservative “European
Federation” should have a new anthem. The anthem could be a vocal variation of:
Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell[1],
and could be made available on all European languages. The vocal theme of the
song should underline European unity against Jihad and the Islamic Caliphates in
the past and our struggle against Marxism.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lux_Aeterna_(Requiem_for_a_Dream)
Future Independence Day
New European cultural conservative Independence Day should be celebrated on
September 11th or 12th marking the successful defence of
Western Europe by the Holy League. The Battle of Vienna in 1683 should be
celebrated as the Independence Day for all Western Europeans as it was the
beginning of the end for the second Islamic wave of Jihads. Alternatively, it
could be the day all Muslims have been successfully deported from Europe.
Future anti-imperialistic stance
We must continue our anti-imperialistic stance. And let’s face it; a future
European Federation (consisting of Europe and Russia) will have all the
territory/resources we will ever need to satisfy our future demands. We must not
and should never attack another sovereign country. Driving out Islam from
Christian lands is however not an imperialistic campaign. It’s a basic right, a
defensive strategy designed to reverse decades of corrupt and suicidal European
leadership. Our territorial claims (on behalf of the rightful owners) are
limited to eastern and western Anatolia and the areas north and south of Israel
for the benefit of Israelis and Christian minorities. Sovereignty of these
liberated lands must go to their rightful owners and must not be annexed by
future European Federation elites. Annexing these territories for our own
benefit would per definition make us imperialists and must therefore never
occur. A future European Federation should be inward looking and implement
isolationist/protectionist principles with certain exceptions (see other
chapter).
This is the continuation of the essay in the book 2: “Europe Burning”, called
“2.62 How the diversity industry/ethnic
industries/sub-cultures such as Hip-Hop in combination with unrestricted media
rights contributes to destroy society”
More perspectives are added (along with solutions), as that essay failed to
document how hip-hop negatively effects European youths, so I will add comments
and certain explanations. I can personally attest to the negative results of the
hip-hop movement (and the hip-hop mentality) as I was a part of it for several
years (from 13-16 and somewhat up to the age of 18). The destructive results of
hip hop can be divided into sub categories:
Some of the significantly negative effects of the Hip-hop mentality:
1.
Destructive role models who directly or indirectly propagate anti-social and
anti-authority views (anarchistic views).
These views lead somewhat to apathy and a destructive mindset. As described in
the essay, this mindset automatically places the individual in a victim
hierarchy where non-African youth mimic the position of victimhood
(black/minority oppression communicated through hip-hop). This is very
destructive as it causes the individual to develop an anti-authority
(anarchistic) mentality. When I was in the movement, I remember we declared a
war against Oslo Sporveier (Oslo’s subway company) and our goal was to bomb them
continuously (punish what we saw as our enemy, through bombing train sets and
property with tags and pieces). However, the anti-authority, anti-social
behaviour is also manifested through petty crimes and random violence and
robberies (mimicking the “thug” mentality).
2.
Destructive role models who propagate and glorify drug use, primarily hashish
and marijuana.
I personally know of more than 50 individuals who started with hashish and
marijuana as a direct result of the hip-hop mentality. Many of these went from
light drugs to heavier drugs such as amphetamine and even heroin. I personally
know that more than 20 individuals, from my “hip-hop community”, have become
severe drug addicts and some of them are probably dead today. I estimate that of
the 20 000 drug addicts in Norway, approximately 30-40% have initially been
significantly influenced by the hip hop mentality. As such, Hip Hop is in many
aspects an institution, a way of life that is indirectly responsible for the
apathy and mental conditioning that leads to youngsters experimenting with light
drugs. I know of at least 10 people (not included in the above description) who
have damaged their brain capacity severely as a result of excessive use of light
drugs such as hashish and marijuana. One of my best friends, Mariuss, little
brother Fabian is one of them (my self and Marius indirectly introduced him to
the hip hop mentality 15 years ago). I’ve talked to Fabian on several occasions
about this, as he is still into hip-hop. He is as stubborn as I was 15 years ago
and refuses to see the connection and refuses to change his mentality and reject
hip-hop as something destructive. He now suffers from effects (vocal) and a
destructive mentality as a result of the negative hiphop mentality and excessive
marijuana use and thus experience significant career limitations. I never tried
drugs myself as I never wanted to break that threshold but I was among the
perhaps 5-10% of the movement that refused.
3.
Destructive role models who propagate and glorify anti-authority/
revolutionary/anarchistic attitudes through the graffiti movement (which is a
central part of hip-hop).
I remember my active years in the hiphop movement as a continuous and intense
orgy of misconduct, manifested primarily through tagging and piecing. During my
two most active years at the age of 15 and 16, I estimate that myself (Morg),
Richard (Spok) and Jon Trygve (Wick) inflicted property damage (through bombing
raids - “tagging”) of approximately 2 million Euro combined of which I inflicted
aprox. 700 000. The three of us were the most active of a loosely distributed
“tagger force” numbering approximately 1000 at the time. This was during a
primary peak of Hiphop, in 1994-1995. I estimate that the numbers of taggers
have been reduced substantially since then and hover at around 200 individuals
today in Oslo. I remember one time when I was 15; me and Marius stole a bolt gun
from a construction area and destroyed 20 high tech ticket systems. It was a
part of our rebellion against the city sub way company, a mentality developed
and nurtured through the destructive role models of hip hop. The orgy of
destructive behaviour ended just after I got caught making a piece together with
friends. Until that point people like me saw hip-hop as life itself. I had to
make a choice, either to get away from hip-hop or end up like so many others who
had destroyed their own future. The choice wasn’t easy at the time but I
eventually made the right choice and abandoned the hip hop movement and all my
old friends at the age of 16.
4.
Destructive role models who propagate and glorify violence and gang mentality.
The hiphop mentality is quite maschochistic. I remember that during those years,
carrying a weapon of some sort was mandatory. Dominating others through violence
is a central aspect of the hiphop mentality. Some of the most vicious gangs in
Norway (the B-gang) are partly an indirect spawn of the ghetto/gangster
mentality communicated through hiphop. I used to “tag” with B gang members when
I was 15 and 16 (under the call sign of GSV). As we all know, they refined the
violent hiphop mentality and became hardcore career criminals. It is hard to
estimate how much violence and crime is a direct result of the hiphop/gangster
mentality but it is significant for sure causing hundreds of millions of damage
and causing hundreds of casualties annually through shootings and violence but
also through suicides and overdoses.
4.
Destructive role models who are allowed to indirectly contribute to undermine
positive norms and instead are allowed to negatively influence, propagate and
transfer a negative primitive pride and destructive norms.
This is related to the cause of the problem. What makes young Europeans so
susceptible to the hiphop mentality? I will try to list the primary reasons such
as facilitating factors and forces.
a.
Big business, globalist companies
Ethnic/ghetto lifestyles are glorified–
Jay Z, 50 cent etc. These and similar destructive icons generate billions and
are deliberately glorified by large corporations. Who profits? Magazine
corporations, clothing brands, the fashion industry, sports brands (basketball
etc.), the music industry etc. This is a billion euro industry and the
corporations behind the products allocate significant amounts to political
lobbying to ensure that there are absolutely no restrictions. Furthermore, MTV
and similar TV stations, television shows, the movie industry, magazines and
even the game industry deliberately propagates the hiphop lifestyle through
everything from movies, music videos and GTA (Grand Theft Auto). Globalist
corporations, in light of their considerable geo-political influence, are
extremely powerful.
b.
A social and political environment lacking nationalistic principles
The hiphop mentality can only survive in a multicultural and an extremely
liberal society with complete lack of nationalistic political doctrines. The
utter defeat of nationalism in WW2 (which sent nationalistic political
principles back to the stone age), the persecution of nationalists post-war, and
by allowing Marxists to infiltrate the culture, media and school sector is a
direct has resulted in the cultural climate where a sub-culture such as hiphop
could thrive. The vacuum that gradually came into existence after the cultural
Marxists systematically deconstructed traditional norms, traditions and culture
has resulted in the bloom of destructive “non-cultures” such as hiphop.
c.
Breakdown of the nuclear family and traditional family values
Based on my personal impression, those individuals who are mostly susceptible to
the negative and destructive influences of hiphop, comes from broken families
where there is a complete lack of “positive male role models with authority”
(authority figures).
A majority of the people who became entangled by the hiphop mentality came from
broken families. I remember that at least 80% of “my old crew” were in that
category, myself included. 15% came from families where the father was “a modern
feminised male figure” resulting in lack of authority and discipline. Only 5%
had old fashioned fathers who had respect and were the primary authority
figure/role model for the individual. Only, Richard, of all the people I knew
came from a solid family with a father worthy of respect. The other individuals
lacked complete respect for their fathers as they were like women or came from
broken families. The lack of an authority figure in the family is the primary
cause why many are susceptible to negative role models such as those in the
hip-hop genre. A restoration of the nuclear family with a father as the
undisputable authority figure is the best and most efficient method to prevent
negative influences or children “going rogue”. I’m not going to go further into
this as the Marxists role in the deconstruction of the nuclear family and
feminisation of European men have been covered in another chapter.
d.
Media companies have absolute power to decide what “lifestyles to sell”
Traditional activities that used to be glorified by the government and media
during the 50s and 60s (such as the Boy Scout movement and sports) are now in a
much larger degree ignored. The reason for this is that the free market media
has been allowed absolute power when it comes to deciding what “lifestyles to
sell” to Europeans. Not surprisingly, the glorification of “positive lifestyles”
such as the Boy Scout movement, sports and physical activity has now been
replaced by media companies with
“profitable lifestyles”. These are often destructive lifestyles but they are at
least, profitable for the media companies/corporations selling them. The big
money doesn’t come from the local sports clubs or the Boy Scout movement, but
rather from food-, clothing-, music-, fashion-corporations etc. The old
ambassadors of “positive lifestyles” have been replaced with destructive role
models propagating negative and unhealthy lifestyles.
e.
Lack of cultural pride results in lack of pride on an individual basis.
The lack of cultural pride will lead to an unfilled vacuum. The individual is
always on the lookout to fill this vacuum and will usually select “lifestyles”
glorified by the media. Lifestyles that are not cool are ignored. There are few
appealing positive alternatives in today’s society as the “traditionally
positive lifestyles” are demonised while “negative destructive lifestyles” are
glorified. Negative destructive lifestyles indirectly glorifies excessive casual
sex, infidelity, life threatening activities/high risk sports, suicidal and
apathetic behaviour, drug use, unhealthy foods leading to obesity, the hiphop
mentality (violent, racist, sexist, anarchistic) etc. This is a result of the
media companies unrestricted and ungoverned power in combination with cultural
Marxists ongoing and systematical deconstruction of culture, traditions, norms
and moral. The mix of this unholy alliance is lethal to a society.
Solutions
How can we solve these problems? A complete guide is presented in book 3 in this
compendium.
As for the fate of the hiphop industry; banning it altogether is not the optimal
solution as it would cause overwhelming short term outcry and it would eliminate
positive aspects as well. However, I believe significant restrictions in the
rights of media companies which will include censoring negative and destructive
lifestyles. An alternative is to limit such marketing to future “liberal zones”.
Certain positive aspects of the hiphop movement should be allowed to survive
such as break dance and positive genres of the music as long as it positively
influences the self confidence of European youths and only if it can be
re-defined as a European tradition and not portrayed as a
ghetto/ethnic/multiculturalist lifestyle.
It is beyond all doubt that the political obstacles to solving these core issues
are so comprehensive and enormous that only a revolution (initiated by a
military coup) would present a climate where these issues can be properly
addressed and solved.
Considerations
Just outright banning the diversity/ethnic industry isn’t necessarily the way to
go as it would cause too much short term outcry and discontent.
We should consider spending at least a couple of decades to reform the
educational sector in order to give the new generation of youths the
intellectual tools to identify certain destructive and divisive aspects of the
diversity/ethnic industries. The approach towards the diversity industry should
perhaps be done indirectly and not directly. Taking direct steps through
banning/censoring will only contribute to give the Marxists massive ammunition
and recruits. No one wants to live in a “Taliban style, puritan society without
any options. An alternative is to give everyone an option by introducing a
political concept known as the “cosmopolitan liberal zone”. A cosmopolitan
liberal zone should consider allowing absolutely everything, even the
legalisation of marijuana, gambling and prostitution. The liberal zones are
perceived as zones where liberalistic anarchy reigns and more people will
understand and value the positive aspects of political conservatism and people
will gradually migrate “voluntarily” from the liberal zones to the conservative
territories. The essential thing is to allow people to make the correct choices
for themselves. Many people will feel overwhelmed and literally overdose on
liberalism in the liberal zones (resulting in a scenario where they are
completely turned off) and will thus understand the negative impacts of
excessive liberalism (anarchy). Nevertheless, many will chose to stay and we
should and must respect that. We must give an alternative to everyone.
Cultural contamination from a liberal zone to a conservative zone will
however not be accepted so there must be separate broadcasting networks, news
reporting, commercials, entertainment for the two separate societies.
Is ethnocentrism and the defence of your culture an evil concept by default or
can it prevent persecution and a gradual cultural and demographical genocide?
I hesitated for several years to write about the South African genocide due to
the fear of being labelled as a racist. However, as I became increasingly
ideological confident I have grown immune to the cultural Marxist labelling
techniques. The Boers and Afrikaners have played and instrumental role in the
development of South Africa the last centuries, and for these and other reasons
they deserve a safe future for their children in South Africa, and not genocide.
As for the situation in the US, I created several essays about this topic (US
cultural Marxism and future solutions for our American brothers). However, I
chose not to include it as I believe the American and European struggle should
be kept strictly separate for strategic reasons and should therefore not be
intertwined. There are simply too many differences. In fact, the Indian struggle
and the struggle of Christian minorities in the Middle East are more identical
to the European struggle than that of the US due to the “indigenous factor”.
This does not in any way mean that I do not support our European American
brothers and sister, it simply means that I believe that our two ideological
platforms, in which we will build our resistance movements, must be kept
separated. The exception is however South Africa, since the Boers and Afrikaners
are at a huge disadvantage and will be demographically annihilated within just a
few decades unless they receive our support.
It’s difficult to completely avoid the issues relating to ethnocentrism in
today’s cultural war whether we would like to or not.
In these illustrations I will cover some aspects of ethnocentrism, cultural
defence, defence against Jihad, security fences and its relevance to the current
situation in South Africa, the US,
Israel and elsewhere.
I would first like to say that I view the propagation and justification of
supremacist ethnocentrism as an evil that must and should never be the ultimate
long term goal. However, we cannot ignore logic and pragmatism especially when
the lack of methods/doctrines involving ethnocentricity and “separation” leads
to even bigger evils such as systematic rape, mass killings and even indirect
cultural and demographic genocide. We must therefore keep an open mind when we
evaluate these issues and we cannot allow political correctness paralyze the
debate. Because by allowing political correctness to paralyze and silence the
individuals who brings these difficult issues up will in fact further contribute
to the magnitude of these ongoing atrocities and genocides.

1. The European Afrikaner/Boer genocide in South Africa
The systematic genocide of Europeans in South Africa is usually referred to as
the Afrikaner genocide.
WHAT IS GENOCIDE? The term "genocide" was coined by legal scholar Raphael Lemkin
in 1943, writing:
“Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate
destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all
members of a nation.”
It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming
at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with
the aim of annihilating the groups themselves.
The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and
social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the
economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of personal security,
liberty, health, dignity and lives of the members of such groups
The following sources document that there are more than 3050 documented murders
of European Afrikaners in South Africa. This indicates that the
official/undocumented figure is significantly higher probably above 10 000 since
Nelson Mandelas ANC seized power a couple of decades ago. Furthermore; ‘hundreds
of young black males torture to death about 100 white farmers a year in South
Africa.
White farm families and smallholders on the South African ‘platteland’ have been
terrorised for years by violent attacks. Farmers union Agri=SA, which represents
about 90 percent of the 45,000 commercial white farmers, estimates an average of
750 to 800 farm attacks a year during which about 100 people are murdered.
“Some Afrikaner groups refer to this as a ‘white genocide’ but Agri-SA does not
want to go that far, claiming instead that farmers and smallholders are ‘soft
targets,’ writes Trouw, quoting André Botha, who heads the organisation’s
security department, as repeating the same old ANC-saw, namely that:
“Farmers live in remote areas and usually have guns, money and cars.
Attackers know that it takes a long time on these rural farms before police
arrives after an emergency call.”
Trouw quotes the University of Pretoria’s 2008 investigation of 37 convicted
farm-murderers, noting that on average, each one of them had carried out an
average of 105 violent crimes before they were even caught. And police
statistics overall show that from all the reported crimes, only 12 percent ever
end up in a conviction.
How many European Afrikaner/Boer women are raped annually is unknown. It’s most
likely totalling more than 10 000 rapes per year.
As a result of these anti-European atrocities an increasing number of European
Afrikaner/Boers are simply giving up and seeking asylum and refuge in Europe,
Canada, Australia and the US.
Many people will claim that the apartheid policies were in place to prevent such
atrocities and the ongoing genocide. The same people will also say that now when
the apartheid policies have been abolished it has developed an atmosphere where
it is literally a free for all murder and rape fest. If you want to join this
rape and kill fest, you better hurry up; because soon, there won’t be any
Europeans left to rape and kill. Here is a demographical overview indicating
South Africa’s direction:

A majority fled from persecution to the UK, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia,
Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
By the year 2050 the genocide of European Afrikaner/Boers will be almost
complete and South Africa will at this point most likely resemble the average of
African Nations, plagued by corruption, civil war and endless poverty and
hopelessness.
The current 4-million combined Afrikaner/Boer and other ‘white’ minorities pay
40% of all the country’s rates and taxes but make out only 8% of the country’s
population. What do you think will happen to South Africa when all the
Afrikaners/Boers have been killed or fled the country? South Africa will end up
as all other African nations.
Jesus Mandela Christ – liberator or annihilator of South Africa?
The South African history we learn in our schools and from the media is nothing
more than propaganda and lies. We learn that Nelson Mandela was arrested for
criticising the apartheid regime.
What we don’t learn is that Mandela used to be a terrorist leader and gave
personal orders to execute a bombing attack against the old apartheid regime.
This is the reason why he was arrested in the first place.
Nelson Mandela’s Guerrilla activities
In 1961, Mandela became the leader of the
ANC's armed wing, Umkhonto we
Sizwe (translated as Spear of the Nation, also abbreviated as MK), which he
co-founded. He coordinated a sabotage
campaign against military and government targets, and made plans for a
possible guerrilla war if sabotage
failed to end apartheid. A few decades later, MK did wage a
guerrilla war against the regime,
especially during the 1980s, in which many civilians were killed. Mandela
also raised funds for MK abroad, and
arranged for paramilitary training, visiting various African governments.
Currently, South Africa is rapidly turning into an ungovernable anarchy due to
cultural Marxist ANC rule. According to verifiable sources [1] more than 3085
European-Africans or so called Afrikaners/Boers have been killed since the ANC
seized power in what is developing into a genocide of Europeans. 3085 confirmed
murders means that the un-official number is likely around 10 000 murdered
Europeans in Africa. Reports also indicate that European-African women are being
raped and persecuted in other ways.
The black Africans have since the ANC resumed power doubled their population
from 22 to 44 million (through liberal immigration and higher birth rates) while
the European Africans have experienced horrendous atrocities resulting in the
ongoing mass exodus we see today. All this because Nelson Mandela and the
cultural Marxist regime of the ANC.
At least humanists and Marxist in Europe can sleep well at night knowing that
apartheid is gone. Because after all, it’s better that every South African
suffers and loses hope in the future than keeping in place discriminating
policies right?
I consider both the former apartheid policies and the current situation as
intolerable scenarios. However, considering the fact that I am a creature of
logic and pragmatism the lesser evil is always the best alternative which is why
we know should be done. The apartheid system was put in place to regulate the
multicultural society and manifested itself through what would resemble the
salad bowl that is Los Angeles with segregated communities. The difference is
that the Europeans treated the Africans as second class citizens. Instead of
attempting to co-exist within the borders of the same nation they should have
just divided the country in half to begin with. The apartheid system was a
racist multicultural system and should not be copied. Instead a policy of
“Balkanisation” must be sought where the country is divided in two or more parts
and given their own sovereignty.
Splitting the country in two does not in any way constitute apartheid (the
ideology) but rather the creation of two sovereign nations. If this is not done
as soon as possible the alternative will result in the finalisation of the
European cultural and demographical genocide. As such, it is our moral duty to
implement such policies; for the simple fact that it would be immoral not to.
This is an incredibly difficult choice as it goes against everything we have
been taught under the European multicultural systems. However, we can’t ignore
logic. Offending people is in a whole different league than indirectly allowing
genocide. It is a lesser evil to be contributing to separation than it is to
facilitate and contribute to large scale murders, systematical rapes and even
genocide. When you are faced with two “evil” outcomes it is our duty to choose,
support and implement the lesser of those two evils.
Solutions for South Africa
Divide the country in to two sovereign nations; one European nation and one
African. This should be facilitated by the future European Federation as the
current Boer/Afrikaner people are in no shape to administrate or ensure that
this split is effectuated properly. The split should be based on historical
significance of factors relating to development of the nation and should
therefore be no less than 40% (Afrikaner/Boer/European)/60% African. The racist
apartheid ideology should never be used again. Instead, the Afrikaner/Boer can
(if they need the extra labour) issue 6 or 12 months work permits for specific
sectors following the model illustrated in another chapter of this compendium. A
security fence should separate the newly founded nations to prevent illegal
immigration and potential attacks.
A future European Federation must play an instrumental part in creation of these
two nations.

2. The Israeli security fence and other security barriers
While most people refer to Israel's security fence as a "wall", the fact remains
that less than 5 percent of the barrier is actually concrete slab. The rest is a
network of fence and sensors. The fence has cut terrorism incidents by more than
90% since its completion.
What was the reason for establishing the Security Fence Area?
The Security Fence is being built with the sole purpose of saving the lives of
the Israeli citizens who continue to be targeted by the terrorist campaign that
began in 2000. The fact that over 800 men, women and children have been killed
in horrific suicide bombings and other terror attacks clearly justifies the
attempt to place a physical barrier in the path of terrorists. It should be
noted that terrorism has been defined throughout the international community as
a crime against humanity. As such, the State of Israel not only has the right
but also the obligation to do everything in its power to lessen the impact and
scope of terrorism on the citizens of Israel. As such, the creation of the
Security Fence was created in accordance with security and humanitarian
concerns. Israel has not just a right but a duty to defend its citizens.
Is the fence effective?
Between Israel and the areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority there is no
natural or man made barrier. This enables the almost unhindered entry of
Palestinian terrorists into Israel. During the last three years, 117 Palestinian
terrorists took advantage of it, entered into Israel and in the act of blowing
themselves up murdered 477 people - Jews, Arabs and Christians and wounded
thousands others. In contrast, the security fence between Israel and the Gaza
Strip that has existed since 1996 has proven its effectiveness and the vast
majority of terrorist attempts have been discovered and thwarted.
The first stage of the Security Fence (from Salem to Elkana) which has been
operational since July 2003, is already proving itself as an effective defensive
deterrent which prevents the repeated attempts to enter Israel and carry out
terror attacks.
Members of Palestinian terror infrastructure caught and questioned disclosed the
fact that the existence of the Security Fence in the Samaria area forces them to
find of other means to perform terror attacks since their previous entry to
Israel is blocked.
Conclusion:
The physical separation (apartheid) of the Israelis and the Muslims works as
intended. The Islamic terrorist attacks have been reduced by 90% since the
creation of the physical barrier.
The Indian security fence[1]
The concept of building security fences between groups of people is not limited
to Israel. In 1989, the Indian government, frustrated at the continued
infiltration of terrorists from Pakistan, constructed a security barrier along
the frontier in the states of Punjab and Rajasthan. The barrier worked and
infiltration subsided. Five years later, India sought to extend the barrier 620
miles through Jammu and Kashmir. The Pakistani government's reaction to India's
barrier-building was harsh. Islamabad accused India of violating both the U.N.
charter and the two countries' cease fire agreement. In July 2003, Pakistani
military spokesman, Shaukat Sultan, made several threats.
But the Indian government ignored these threats, citing its right to defend
itself against terrorism. After all, since 1989 more than 40,000 people have
perished in Jammu and Kashmir in terrorism and insurgency-related violence. And,
just as Israel has found its barrier to be a successful deterrent, so, too, has
India. According to the chief-of-staff of the Indian army, Nirmal Chand Vij, the
number of terrorists inside Jammu and Kashmir plummeted almost 50 percent in the
year after the barrier's construction. The fence stopped almost 90 percent of
infiltration attempts. India's vote against Israel's West Bank barrier may have
undermined its own position, a fact that was not lost on at least one Pakistani
senator. In a July debate in the Pakistani senate, Ishaq Dar suggested that
Islamabad parlay the ICJ ruling into a move to condemn India's fence
construction along its line-of-control.
Conclusion:
The physical separation (apartheid) of the Indians and the Pakistani Muslims
works as intended. The Islamic terrorist attacks have been reduced significantly
since the creation of this physical barrier.
The Saudi security fence[1]
The kingdom of Saudi Arabia, one of Israel's most vociferous critics in the
Middle East and a staunch financial supporter of groups such as Hamas, has also
constructed a border fence on disputed land. Saudi Arabia and Yemen have
disputed their border for more than seventy years. Both countries dispute the
demarcation laid out in the 1934 Taif treaty, and today, almost 1,000 miles of
desert and mountains remain undefined. While both countries may initially have
been content to live with the status quo, that changed with the 1990 discovery
of oil in the disputed zone. The Saudi government moved to build a "military
city" near the disputed border. Violence occasionally flared. In November 1997,
for example, after a Yemeni soldier lowered a Saudi flag in the disputed area of
Qarqa'i, several Saudi and Yemeni soldiers died in an exchange of fire. Another
bloody clash took place in January 2000 when Saudi troops occupied Jabal Jahfan,
a mountain long controlled by Yemen. A June 2000 attempt to resolve the dispute
failed. While both Saudi and Yemeni leaders signed the resulting Jeddah treaty,
the text left unresolved large tracts of the border.
Violence erupted in 2002. In the Saudi border town of Jizan, Saudi border guards
confronted Islamists smuggling weapons from Yemen. Thirty-six Saudi soldiers
died in the ensuing fire fight. Following additional violence along the border,
the kingdom decided unilaterally to build a security barrier along their border
with Yemen. Saudi officials claimed that this barrier would stem the weapons
flow and almost daily attempts at infiltration by Islamist insurgents from
Yemen. Talal Anqawi, the head of Saudi Arabia's border guards, dismissed any
parallels to Israel's security barrier, telling the Arabic daily Asharq
al-Awsat,
“What is being constructed inside our borders with Yemen is a sort of a screen …
which aims to prevent infiltration and smuggling … it does not resemble a wall
in any way.”
If Anqawi sought to create a litmus test for the permissibility of barriers, he
failed. While the ICJ referred to Israel's security fence as a "wall" throughout
its decision, less than 5 percent of the barrier is actually concrete slab. The
rest is a network of fence and sensors. While the Saudi government presses the
U.N. to sanction Israel to force compliance with the ICJ decision, the kingdom,
through its own actions and statements, has actually created a precedent for
Israel. Saudi statements labeling Israel's security barrier an "internationally
wrongful act" and demanding its "destruction," illustrate the hypocrisy of both
the Saudi and ICJ positions.
Note: Also see apartheid/security fences and population exchanges in Turkey
(between Turkey and Syria), Cyprus (between Muslims and Christians), Morocco
(between Morocco and Western Sahara) and in Northern Ireland[1].
Good Fences Make Good Neighbours
Israel's fence exists to prevent deadly attacks on Israeli citizens. The Belfast
peace lines exist to prevent large-scale intercommunal disorders … but a barrier
is a barrier, whatever its name … their [British and Israeli] policies towards
the nationalist areas of Belfast and the Palestinian areas of the Holy Land have
one thing in common … to provide security."
When the ICJ ruled on July 9 that Israel's security barrier was illegal, it
based its decisions exclusively on interpretation of international humanitarian
law. Fourteen of the fifteen judges ruled that Israel should raze its barrier.
The one dissenting justice, Thomas Buergenthal, was American. He argued that the
court failed to consider all relevant facts. He wrote, "The nature of these
cross-Green Line attacks and their impact on Israel and its population are never
really seriously examined by the court." While the ICJ claimed that Israel could
not invoke "the right of legitimate or inherent self-defence," Buergenthal
disagreed. After all, in resolutions 1368 and 1373, the U.N. Security Council
reaffirmed the right to combat terrorism without limitation to "state actors
only."
And there is little doubt that the security barriers work. Suicide attacks in
Israel declined 75 percent in the first six months of 2004 compared to an
equivalent period in 2003. The Israeli government is not alone in this
conclusion. Many of the most vocal critics of Israel's security barrier have
employed the same defence. Their immunity from ICJ and U.N. criticism
illustrates both the politicisation of the International Court of Justice and
the inherent bias of the United Nations. U.N. secretary general Kofi Annan's
criticism of Israel's security barrier, especially when juxtaposed with his
silence regarding the region's other security barriers, illustrates the double
standard.
Perhaps the greatest tragedy of the ICJ decision, however, is that it creates a
precedent that allows terrorism to trump security. Israel will not be the only
victim. The Turkish government, which vociferously condemned Israel, unwittingly
undermined its own security with regard to Syria. Some Pakistani politicians
already seek to use the ICJ's decision on Israel to undermine India's
self-defence. While separate peace processes proceed in Cyprus, Western Sahara,
and Northern Ireland, it was the dampening of terrorism made possible by the
security barriers that allowed the space for diplomats to resume negotiations.
On a number of levels, the ICJ decision was a ruling against peace and security,
not only in Israel but also across the region and elsewhere.

3. The demographical annihilation of the European population in the US due to
Asian, Mexican and African mass immigration (ROUGH DRAFT)
In the early 1980s the US was considered a Christian and European nation. In
fact, it was considered the most powerful European nation. Today, the US is in a
rapid state of disintegration fuelled by mass immigration and the doctrines of
multiculturalism/cultural relativism.
So what happened exactly and when did it happen?
The story is quite similar to Europe. The Marxists, through applying the
doctrines of the Frankfurt school, disguised their ideology and were perceived
as “cultural Marxists”, humanists and liberals. Just like in Europe, they
gradually contributed to transform to the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
bastion it is today. Most of the methods used are covered already but I will
include a few factors not yet mentioned.
The day when the Democrats and Republicans decided that America should no longer
be a Christian and a European country
“Happy holidays” and “season greetings” you say? What happened to “Merry
Christmas”?
Traditionally, the only holidays included in the "season" were Christmas Eve,
Christmas Day, Boxing Day (in some countries), New Year's Eve, New Year's Day
and Three Kings Day. But apparently the US political parties have expanded this
term quite recently. Did they ask the American people if they wanted this
or did they implement this in an undemocratic manner?
Now, thanksgiving, Christmas, Yule, Channukah, Boxing Day, Kwanzaa, and
occasionally Ramadan or the Eid depending on the Islamic calendar, to name a few
are considered equal to Christmas in the US. Because, suddenly the US didn’t
have a state religion. You see, the Democrats and Republicans decided on behalf
of all US citizens that the US should no longer a European and Christian
country. Instead, they decided, through a multitude of undemocratically
implemented bills, that they should create a non-European multicultural nation
without a united cultural identity. The people were never allowed to have their
say.
Demographical development of the US – Europeans vs. non Europeans
This article is not yet complete.
Under construction – not edited
The greatest achievement in humanity was the moon landing, achieved by our
European-American brethren. Since then, cultural Marxism has risen, infiltrated
and ravaged both Western Europe and the US. The mass-democracy model of Western
Europe has become the norm in the Western world, which has cultivated the
principle of mediocrity instead of continuing to pursue excellence.
Marxism is somewhat as crippling as Islam on a civilization so I do not expect
we will see a change in direction until we, the conservative visionaries, have
seized military and political control.
Spiritually bankrupt nations without civilizational visions are nothing
more than devastated wastelands of meaningless noise and excessive consumerism,
which alone, has no way of satisfying the individuals longing for something
greater than the feeding of his or her ego. The cultural Marxist elites of
Western Europe will never admit to these facts and they will say that they are
in fact allowing Church communities to operate freely. But what kind of Church
survived decades of Marxist assault? Firstly, the forced ordination of female
priests ravaged the very fundament of the Church, which planted enough Trojans
for the European Church to be ridden by internal reforms leading to the Church
we see today. The European Labour Church is now completely stripped of any and
all influence and has been molded to suit the Marxist agenda. Especially the
Protestant Church has been molded into becoming its very own cyanide pill.
The first assault was reforms which involved the forceful ordination of women as
priests and bishops. As we all know, women’s emotionally unstable nature quickly
lead to the propagation of gay marriage, the ordination of gay priests, ignoring
chastity, ignoring peoples duties in relation to procreation, the support for
mass-Muslim immigration and even the inter-religious dialogue with the Muslim
community. This dialogue is in fact no more than a formal discussion for the
terms of total surrender. The divine architecture, richly decorated with
sculptures of our most famous and beloved champions and martyrs of the church
(who fought past Crusades against Jihadi invasions) has been replaced with the
Marxist style red-bricked bunker style churches, which has as much appeal as a
public toilet. The divine interior of our beloved churches has been stripped of
everything dignifying and replaced with empty concrete walls with perhaps one
single abstract mosaic of something that may or may not resemble a cross.
Celebration of Christmas and Easter is now considered offensive to Muslims so it
is now inappropriate to actually say; Merry Christmas. Instead we must say;
Happy holidays…
And people still doesn’t get it? It can’t be said clearer than this; the Western
European cultural Marxist regimes want you to abandon God and the Church.
Perhaps you should take the hint already. Because as soon as you acknowledge
that there is a very real war being waged by the Marxists through their
deliberate objective of completely deconstruction the European Church, the
sooner you can rush to its defense.
Currently, we are embroiled in a bitter spiritual war that will inevitably lead
to a physical one.
Such vitriol always ends up leading to violence, whether it is a genocidal
slaughter, or a civil war – the spiritual war transcends to the physical plane,
and God’s people are once again embroiled in a bloody battle.
Western Europe – a third world region when it comes to spirituality and
civilizational goals
The spiritually bankrupt Western European nations result in psychologically
unstable individuals, many which are stripped of moral and decency. This, almost
anarchist behavior, often leads to “excessive whoring around” and results in a
large range of negative effects for the individual and for society; venereal
deceases, sterility, astronomic costs to society, drug abuse, high suicide
rates. These plagues, which in part is a direct result of the Marxists
successful deconstruction of the Church and its authority costs the Western
European countries two to three times as much as our military budgets – possibly
significantly more.
And how many millions are either dead or have become zombies (drug addicts) as a
result of the Marxist war against God and the Church? Some would say thousands,
but I would claim that it is millions. An extreme Marxist or egalitarian society
has a tendency to treat individuals as clients (a process known as
clientification) instead of producing independent “winners”. This is apparent in
especially Western Europe but not so much so in the US.
The book “Prozak Nation” illustrates quite well that the cultural Marxist model
is failing miserably and is leading to millions of people with psychological
problems and tens of thousands of suicides. Instead of propagating clear goals
for our civilization with specific obligations to the citizen there is no
official recommended course of action for our existence. This clear
civilizational vision must be re-established as an alternative to meaningless
and limitless consumerism which has no other purpose for individuals than
feeding their own ego. Excessive consumerism, drug abuse and sex abuse can never
satisfy the peoples longing for believing in something greater than simply
living to feed their own ego. Whether this vacuum is filled by nationalist
principles; pride in your nation and people – a common enemy: the Ummah, or
through the Church, the solutions lie within conservative principles and values.
We must re-affirm our intentions of commitment against global Jihad, until our
own and our allies borders are secured. The only pragmatical approach to this is
mass-deportations because the only other alternative is genocide.
Europe is now a third world country in regards to spirituality and
civilizational goals. We need to bring back a crystal clear vision and goal for
our existence whether it is a formal embracing of research and development,
nationalist principles or the former intertwined with spirituality under a
permanent Christian cultural framework.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was death,
and Hell followed with him.
Revelations 6:8
The cultural Marxist bourgeois experiment will end as catastrophically as
Stalin’s social experiments. The difference is that this time, we will not only
be bankrupt and suffer 50 million casualties. This time we have the added risk
of being enslaved under a brutal and retarding Sharia reign.
We are all familiar with the Marxist utopian dream. They want to create a utopia
where everyone lives peacefully together in despite of ethnic, ideological,
religious and cultural factors. Unfortunately, this has already been tried,
through Stalin’s forces deportation and “integration programs” resulting in tens
of millions of casualties. He did everything he could to create the “universal
egalitarian Soviet citizen”. They failed because one can never succeed in a war
against nature itself. Today’s Western bourgeois multiculturalists will fail
again with equally disastrous results; unless stopped, these individuals will
transform functional homogenous and harmonious European countries into
failed states with eternal ethnic, religious and ideological conflict, similar
to Afghanistan and the Balkans of today. In fact, you can actually measure the
retardation level of each failed state through reviewing the number of
“competing cultures” in each one. Judging from the multiculturalist argument;
“the more diversity the more prosperity”, Afghanistan (with its 100 different
ethnic groups) should be ranked as the most diverse and thus most successful
country in the world. But despite of Marxist theory, the opposite always ends up
as being the reality. Afghanistan is a hell on earth. Historical examples show
us that incompatible cultures do not mix.
The fall of the USA will occur by 2030 – the US is dying and will never recover,
unless…
The European “new world” referred to as the USA, today, initially succeeded
because European Christian cultures are compatible due to their shared history,
values, principles and heritage.
To assume that millions and Asian and African immigrants, in addition to
existing non-European minorities, can be assimilated with this homogenous
European Christian culture is a mistake of civilizational proportions and
attempting such should be categorized as a genocidal war crime. As the
Asian/African immigration to the US accelerates, the level of social cohesion
rapidly declines and deteriorates, which will eventually cause the economical
system to crash, never to recover to its former highs. The only thing that can
solve problems of this magnitude is a coup d’état initiated by conservatives. A
swift coup d’état is after all preferable to a long term civil war. Regardless
of the method, the outcome will be a re-establishment/re-formation of the
European Christian country that is the US.
The fall, or more specifically the partition, of the US is imminent and will
occur within 2025 at the earliest. The primary reason for this implosion is that
the US won the economical cold war but lost the cultural cold war due to weak
leadership. McCarthy was a strong, conservative leader, but he wasn’t strict
enough. He should have deported all cultural Marxists to the Soviet Union, but
this would be very difficult due to the fundamental structural flaws of the
senate and the congress.
There are 3 primary reasons for the imminent fall of the US:
1.
Fatally declining social cohesion due to multiculturalism/deconstruction of
Christianity and everything European including traditions, identity etc.
2.
Allowing China and other Asian countries to join the WTO – outsourcing of jobs
to non-European countries
3.
Peak-oil
Had the Democrat Harry S. Truman initiated mass-executions of 100 000 Marxist
Americans in 1945 (alternatively deported them to the Soviet Union) and at the
same time reduced women’s influence in political matters concerning culture and
security, there would never have been a silent 68 cultural Marxist revolution.
In addition, he should have relocated all of the African Americans and other
non-European citizens to select states and given them complete autonomy. As we
know, due to the weak and incompetent leadership of post WW2 administrations -
US universities, public institutions, the Democratic Party and even the
Republican Party was infiltrated by cultural Marxists which lead to the cultural
Marxist revolution of 68.
Unchecked Asian and African legal and illegal immigration
According to the cover story in the Sep. 19, 2004 issue of Time magazine, 3
million illegal’s entered the US in 2003 alone! And many of them quickly obtain
phony ID to obtain a wealth of services compliments of US taxpayers: subsidized
housing, welfare, social security, etc.
Exacerbating the problem, illegal’s’ birth rate is more than double the US
average, with each offspring, from birth, eligible for the myriad of government
programs available to full citizens. A new study by the Center for Immigration
Studies found that illegal’s cost the taxpayer $10 billion dollars more than
they contribute, each year.
In practice, "affirmative action" is often reverse discrimination. For example,
at the University of California Berkeley, the average SAT score for
European-Americans is 1400, for African Americans just 1170. And you get 400
points just for signing your name! The examples are endless; Nine UCLA medical
school professors urged that an African-American medical student be expelled for
poor performance. But the student filed racial discrimination claims and to
avoid a long, expensive lawsuit and race-card media campaign, the medical school
allowed the student to return.
Laissez faire capitalism or segregation through deportation
The European American middle class is being systematically wiped out of
existence by the governments support to Marxist procreation policies resulting
in fertility rates of less than 1,5. In addition; the new “global economy” means
that middle class European American workers have to directly compete for jobs
with people on the other side of the world where there is no minimum wage and
practically no regulations. The only solution is to re-establish a monetary
market reserved for European countries. However, the mass-outsourcing to Asia is
only one of two primary problems. Protectionism alone will not save the US but
will only result in a delay of the impending implosion.
I never thought I would actually argue against capitalism but the US model is an
extreme variant, almost resembling a pure laissez faire model. 83 percent of all
U.S. stocks are now in the hands of 1 percent of the people. 66 percent of the
income growth between 2001 and 2007 went to the top 1% of all Americans. The top
10 percent of Americans now earn around 50 percent of the national income etc.
While capitalistic principles should be protected, it should be somewhat
regulated so that it benefits other members of the tribe (Scandinavian light
model). However, for this to work there must be an exceptional social cohesion,
something that is not the case as long as the US embraces multiculturalism. I
completely understand that group of tribes (the European Americans) would refuse
to subsidize other non-European tribes – Asian or African. Europeans, Asians and
Africans simply do not have enough factors in common which would be required to
establish European style welfare principles. It is likely that it would even be
problematic to attempt this model in a pool consisting of Latin European
Americans and Nordic European Americans as well, as the cultural difference for
these specific groups are significant.
To illustrate this further:
The International Monetary Fund ranking of the countries with highest BNP shows
that the top 10 list is dominated by countries with an exceptional degree of
social cohesion. This is usually only possible in countries with a small
population.

The list shows very clearly that the dominating nations are countries with an
ethnical homogenous people (high social cohesion) which are usually the
countries with a relatively low population.
Good fences make good neighbors,
As I have stated on several occasions, the currently most functional countries
in the world are Japan and South Korea. They have managed to preserve all the
positive aspects of European culture and tradition, methods and processes they
imported and embraced after WW2 and the Korea War. They believe in cultural
monoculturalism mixed with a free market democracy. And here lies the truth
about European Revolutionary Conservatives as well. We believe in cultural
monoculturalism and to a large degree ethnocentrism because we know that is the
only proven way of preserving social cohesion levels is required to facilitate a
welfare state. Without social cohesion, no welfare state. We believe that good
borders makes good neighbours. We believe in democracy, but we believe that the
fundamental requirement for a democracy and a welfare state requires social
cohesion and a non-reformable cultural conservative framework. And as history
and the above examples shows in a crystal clear manner; you cannot have social
cohesion in a multicultural society.
The US illustrates this quite well. The reason there is not a decent
welfare system in the US is because of lack of social cohesion. The European
Christian middle class will simply refuse to subsidize the welfare of Africans,
Latinos and Asians.
The fact of the matter is that the US reached its civilizational climax during
the moon landing in 1969 and has in fact seen a “civilisational” recession since
that time syncrhronized with the African Civil rights movement and the Marxist
68 non-violent revolution. After the cultural Marxists (not economical Marxists,
there’s a big difference here) consolidated their powers and succeeded in
implementing their agenda of converting the US from a European Christian country
to a multiculturalist nation, a systematical decline and gradual cultural
decomposition has been evident. And this will continue until the economy
collapses which will trigger an American civil war, estimated to be initiated
within 2030. This economical meltdown will make the current recession seem like
a picnic. I anticipate that this will happen at earliest within 18 years (today
is 2010, so 2028) and at latest within 65 years.
The US will and should be divided into at least two regions; a multiculturalist
region (the Multiculturalist States of America – MSA) and a Christian, European
American region – (the Confederate States of America – CSA). African Americans,
non-European Latinos and other non-European minorities should be relocated from
the CSA to the MSA. Conservative fractions of the minorities may be granted
citizenship providing that this is the will of the new CSA regime. CSA will be
closely allied with the conservative European regimes (which by now will count
1-5). It is hard to predict whether the first European country is liberated from
cultural Marxism/multiculturalism before the US implodes and is partitioned into
at least two regions. Both scenarios will happen though.
The US was considered to be a European country until the 80s and 90s and would
continue to dominate this list if it put in efforts to remain that way. The US
is now under Asian and African colonization which will eventually (within 2030)
result in its own self induced implosion, unless the cultural conservative
European Americans seizes military and political control and initiates the
partitioning and the subsequent deportation/relocation of non-Europeans. It is
unlikely that this scenario will happen the way I described it. Instead, I
believe the current day US will be divided into 2-3 regions, whereas at least
one will be reserved for European Americans while the other two will remain
multicultural. However, I hope our European American allies manage to take
control of the US as a whole. Because if they succeed, they will be able to set
their own terms, which will benefit all European Americans.
What do we, the Conservatives of Western Europe, really want to achieve? What is
our dream, our vision for the world? If we are to believe the multiculturalist
propaganda they would make the masses believe that we are bloodthirsty, evil
people, who want to take Hitler’s insane plan to the next level; dropping nukes
on all countries we deem inferior and effectively killing off 6 out of 7 billion
people. They would like to portray an image of us as psychopathic murderers who
seek the destruction of fairness and order which will result in the end to
tolerance and peace.
The fundamental difference between conservatives and cultural Marxists are
obviously our two very different world views. What they call “tolerance”, is
really genocide. What they call “peace”, is really a smokescreen for tyranny.
And what they call “human rights advocacy”, is really nothing less than “a
deliberate plan to deconstruct everything European and perhaps even manage to
sell us into Muslim slavery in the same process”.
In other words; if you embrace the cultural Marxist definition of these terms
and similar terms, then you have already capitulated and lost.
We, the European Revolutionary Conservatives know very well that it will take
many years, even decades before we successfully manage to consolidate to a
degree where we can seize political and military power in the first Western
European country. In the US, the Tea party movement is one of the first
physical, political manifestations which indicate that there is a great storm
coming. The creation of similar conservative organizations, even the creation of
revolutionary conservative movements such as the Knights Templar is just another
manifestation that real resistance to the EUSSR/US cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist hegemony is about to materialize. The cultural Marxists
are losing their momentum to our advantage.
The pioneers of the new world order
We are some of the founding fathers of the new world order. The conservative
martyrs of today, both democratic and revolutionary, will be remembered and
celebrated as the founding fathers when our cultural conservative world order
has been established in the European world within 20-70 years.
The Nazi ghost, avoiding it or embracing it
Being a conservative ideological warrior in Western Europe or in the US involves
great sacrifices, even if you staunchly propagate an anti-racist denomination of
conservatism. No matter how much you denounce and condemn Nazism and racism, you
will always be demonized as one by the cultural Marxist hegemony and its
facilitators. I have to admit, this is the primary reason why I, personally,
emphasize the demonization of Nazism and racism. Being a cultural conservative,
opposing multiculturalism, I am demonized as a closet-Nazi and a closet-racist
by default but my message isn’t completely ignored (by national legislature,
internet laws, Facebook laws and twitter laws) so I do manage to somewhat reach
out to a tiny fraction of those I want to address. If I was to embrace any
aspect of National Socialism or make any hint of racial prejudice I would
however, be completely silenced, as Facebook and twitter would ban me and I
would end up on every intelligence watch list.
Regardless of what we can allow ourselves to say, as conservatives, we cannot
and should not pretend that all aspects of National Socialism are bad. As with
any other ideology, there are always several aspects that represent solid and
good principles. To be honest, there are several similarities to Japanese, South
Korean, Taiwanese, Arab etc. current monocultural doctrines and norms that are
quite similar to the NS policies of monoculturalism.
As human beings and political activists, we are obliged to sincerely
evaluate and re-evaluate all ideologies, National Socialism included. It is
uncertain whether we can achieve ideological progress and success without
defending principles embraced by the NS, such as monoculturalism. You cannot
hope to implement a monocultural system model without a good portion of
patriarchal oriented leadership. A patriarchal or at least a semi-patriarchal
leadership structure is a requirement, at least in the cultural and security
fields (includes immigration, schools, universities etc.) in order to implement
monocultural doctrines.
Ethnocentrism and especially propagating a monoculture is and will always be the
most essential building block of a successful nation long term. We know this
because we have studied history. The Roman Empire and tens of other great
empires imploded as a direct result of rapid expansion (invasions or
mass-immigration) with subsequent lack of social cohesion. The processes which
lead to the fall of these empires are more often than not triggered by “liberal
leadership” trying to please everyone, as the current multiculturalist nations
of Western Europe and the US represent today. There is no hope of preserving
democracy when you deliberately deconstruct everything that fuels social
cohesion, such as religion, culture, traditions and identity (including ethnic).
There is no hope of preserving democracy without a unified demos.
This is why it’s so easy to accurately predict the fall of the Western European
and the US multiculturalist state within a pre-defined date. History always
repeats itself. So to us, the conservative revolutionaries, the choice is
simple. We must successfully seize political and military power in Western
Europe within 70 years or all is lost. In this, we have no choice, as the
implementation of the current Marxist doctrines (deconstruction of European
culture – Christendom, traditions, our identity and nation states) is guaranteed
to create our beloved fatherlands into failed states like Afghanistan, where the
only prospect is eternal war and suffering.
The multiculturalist road to hell is paved in gold, very similar to Hitler’s and
Stalin’s vision of the world.
Be proud of your ethnic group – be proud of belonging to the Nordic tribe
The current cultural Marxist world order lead by Western European and US elites
acknowledge and tolerate that most ethnic group’s fight for their interest and
are proud of their ethnic group. The Arab League, Kurdish Rights Movements, Rom
(Gypsy) Rights Movements, Tibetan Rights Movements, Native American Rights
Movements and Aboriginal Rights Movements, to name just a few are all interest
groups based on race or ethnic affiliation. They are among those interest groups
that propagate interests based on race/ethnic origin. They are all tolerated,
encouraged and even often supported by the current US/EUSSR cultural Marxist
hegemony. If I were to create a Nordic or an even broader European Indigenous
Rights movements with the goal of propagating rights and interests for the
indigenous Europeans we all know what would happen. It has been done before and
the result of the former efforts (resulting in persecution from the
establishment) just underlines the hateful and destructive agenda of
multiculturalism. The evil nature of this hypocrisy is so deliberate and it
clearly tells us that multiculturalism (cultural Marxism) is an anti-European
hate ideology designed to deconstruct European culture, traditions, Christendom,
ethnic groups and even nation states. We cannot defeat multiculturalism until we
defeat Marxism as it is two sides of the same coin. Multiculturalism is Marxism,
Marxism is multiculturalism. Do not have any doubt about this. A liberal right
winger might claim that he is not a cultural Marxist but a globalist. He should
however know that a globalist is the exact same thing as a cultural Marxist.
Because there are only two cultural poles; if you are not cultural conservative
then you are a cultural Marxist.
The genetical affiliation to your tribe is your most valuable commodity in this
world, true or false?
We know that the cultural Marxist elites in Western Europe have created an
adoption system which facilitates the adoption of Asians and Africans but makes
the adoption of European babies more or less impossible. Not only are absolutely
all European countries significantly influenced by Marxism (matriarchy leads to
low birth rates, while Asia and Africa still has patriarchy leading to high
birth rates) but it would seem like there is a deliberate agenda of attempting
to genetically dilute our tribe by systematical facilitation of adoption from
Asia and Africa. After all, how are the cultural Marxists going to create a one
world utopia unless they deliberately annihilate, through gradual dilution, the
European tribes?
So why is tribalism and our ethnic heritage so important?
Despite what the Marxists would like to believe, our genetical heritage is the
most important cultural marker as it is a visual proof that you represent a
certain culture, certain traditions, a certain identity. How you look will in a
blink of an eye tell people a thousand things about you, who your ancestors
where, tells you a lot about your mentality, and your countries or regions
achievements the last few years. These thousands of pieces of information is
forwarded by the blink of an eye to another individual. If you however do not
have any genetical affiliation, people will only be left with a lot of
questions. Where are you from, are you Muslim, are you a tourist, what culture
do you represent, are you an integrated individual, are you an assimilated
individual, are you the new imported servant class or are you adopted?
This is what most people ask themselves when they meet an individual. I would f
example instantly know, from recognition, that another person is an undiluted
Norwegian or not and most other people would as well.
Preferentialism based on looks and ethnic origin is the rule for 80-90% of
Europeans
People who are familiar with “the game”; the socio-economic rat race where
looks, culture and economy are the
deciding factors know how the unwritten rules work. We say something, some
politically correct BS like it’s the inside that counts, or that all ethnic
groups are equal, but we don’t really mean it. The only reason lie publicly and
even to our friends is because our countries are ruled by a Marxist entity and
we are not allowed to say the truth. Social-darwinism was the norm before the
1950. Back then, it was allowed to say what we feel. Now, however, we have to
disguise our preferences to avoid the horrible consequences of being labeled as
a genetical preferentialist. Many people I know who supports mass-Muslim
immigration (by voting on political parties in support of multiculturalism)
deliberately avoids living with Muslims, simply because they don’t like them.
But they still support mass-Muslim immigration. I like to confront these people
with direct questions; Why do you support mass-Muslim immigration when you would
never consider living with them, or at least living in the same neighborhood
with them? Doesn’t that make you a hypocrite?
The reaction is always the same; their face turns red, and they have no clue
what to say. Totally busted. I then try to argue that they should vote for a
political party which opposes multiculturalism if they, personally, are not
interested in taking the responsibility for the effects of given ideology.
Despite all my good arguments; the success rate for converting these politically
correct individuals into voting for a conservative party, is quite low – lower
than 20%. They have simply been brainwashed and thoroughly indoctrinated by the
Labour party state to not think those thoughts, so they do agree with you most
of the time, but they are afraid of admitting it.
Furthermore, all of the people I know personally (my extended network, through a
lifetime), in Oslo West, have adopted a multicultural image which they like to
portray publicly. It’s kind of like a t-shirt they take on when they wake up and
go outside, leaving their true self behind. It’s very hot to be tolerant, after
all, like Madonna and Brangelina… The hypocrisy of these people is limitless
though, as I know for a fact that not a single one of them would ever procreate
outside our ethnic group. But expecting them to admit to these facts publicly
would be too naïve. Because 90% of
Europeans choose to follow their instincts, camouflaging their true feelings in
order to survive in this Marxist world. Then we have the 10% Europeans, women
and men, who choose to fully embrace the Marxist rule of procreating with Asians
and Africans. What will happen to them and their offspring when we reach phase 2
or 3 of the European civil war is unknown. It is not unlikely that they may be
labeled as traitors as large parts of the population. People should try to
understand the psychology behind this. In peacetime, your ethnic affiliation is
important. However, in wartime, your ethnic affiliation is extremely important
and might ensure your survival.
Let’s take an example; if the multiculturalist elites of Europe manage to
suppress us efficiently and prevent us from seizing power the next 6 decades we
will reach a situation where the Muslims will be in a majority in ALL European
major cities. And when they get confident enough, war will break out (similar
scenario to the Lebanon war Christians vs Muslims). At this point in time the
economy has already collapsed and chaos and lawlessness reigns. The national
militaries have dissolved because the multiculturalist government fled to
another country to prevent being lynched. Noone was left to pay the army
salaries so most of the soldiers created local militia groups protecting their
neighbourhoods. These types of conflicts are extremely brutal and everything is
either black or white. All individuals that look like Muslims will be gunned
down, and they will gun down all who look like indigenous Europeans. Being an
Asian or African under these conditions must be hard because most people will
believe them to be Muslims. It is likely that they may end up as outcasts not
accepted by either the Europeans or the Muslims. They may be deported,
accidentally shot or deliberately killed by conservatives that are much less
liberal than the “peace-time auto-gear European” is today.
The preservation of your ethnic affiliation is likely to be the greatest gift
you can ever bestow upon your offspring as it will ensure their survival the
next 70 years. Being hip, by mimicking Madonna or Angelina may be fatal to your
offspring. Because I can guarantee the following; the European civil war has
barely begun, and what is politically correct today, is likely to be seen as an
absurdity during times of great hardship.
So think long term, be smart and never consider abandoning the ethnic
affiliation to your tribe. If you do, it is a chance that you will end up making
a decision that can prove to be fatal for yourself or for your children.
Imported non-European minorities are disloyal nation wreckers! True or false?
To claim that the above statement is a falsehood would require that minorities
assimilated fully and were supportive of views and principles propagated by the
European majority. So what is cultural and political assimilation? Full
assimilation would mean that the imported minorities were supportive of the
above including the support to the same political parties as the one(s) favoured
by the Europeans. In other words; they would vote on the same parties the
majority voted on and that they would have the same loyalty to the values and
principles that the majority had.
So is this the case with Muslims, Jews, Hindus and non-European Christians? For
them to be looked upon as equals (as a part of the Europeans extended family),
it would be required that they supported the same values and principles that the
majority represented. This is simply not possible if the primary motivations for
emigrating are economical. Why would they give up their religion/ideology or
culture if they are not expected to? A Pashtun didn’t come because he was
interested in being separated from his extended Pashtun family (his ethnic
group). He came because there was a high probability that he would be able to
acquire funds easily, funds which then would be channeled back to his REAL
family, the Pashtuns.
The relevancy of your ethnic group will always be important as we view our
ethnic group as our extended family. This goes for all ethnic groups whether
they are European, Pashtun, Arab, Rom, Berber-Arab, Somali, Indian, Japanese or
South Korean. The Marxist claims that ethnicity is irrelevant or should be made
irrelevant goes against human nature and natural laws. It is nothing more than a
utopian dream which will never be achieved. Trying to forcefully achieve this
objective by mass importing different non-European cultures will achieve nothing
more than creating a new dysfunctional Afghanistan with eternal war.
The only three exception I am aware of, where ethnic group is only superseded by
another factor (religion) are the so called Bosniaks (which are Muslim Serbs) ,
Pakistanis (which are Muslim Indians) and Turks (which are primarily Muslim
Greeks and Armenians).
So back to the question: how can we expect many minorities to be loyal to OUR
extended family when they are still loyal to THEIR OWN. Firstly, why on earth
would we want to go down that path, secondly; assimilation requires 100%
loyalty. You cannot call yourself assimilated if you are culturally, politically
and ethnically loyal to another group/culture/ideology then that of your hosts.
And this is where multiculturalism fails miserably, as the ideology propagates a
non-demand policy. The predominant doctrine seems to be: “do what you want, we
won’t demand anything and we don’t care if you’re disloyal as long as you pay
your tax and don’t commit any crimes. Please go ahead; invest in your “other”
fatherland and feel free to channel funds back to your “other” extended family”.
This principle of “tolerance” is really nothing more than a suicidal or
genocidal policy.
European polls
F example, in Norway (probably somewhat representative for a majority of
European countries); 37% of the indigenous Norwegians vote for a conservative
party which opposes multiculturalism, while 63% of the indigenous Norwegians
vote for liberal or socialist parties which supports the anti-European hate
ideology; multiculturalism. 95% of Muslims, 70% of Hindus, 85% of Jews and 90%
of non-European Christians vote for political parties who support
multiculturalism. Only less than 5% of Muslims, 30% of Hindus, 15% of Jews and
10% of non-European Christians vote for political parties who oppose
multiculturalism.
So why would anyone expect us to view the bulk of these minorities as equals
with a right for citizenship when we consider them disloyal and unwilling to
fully assimilate?
US polls
I’ve seen a US poll describing something similar; aprox. 40% of European
Americans voted for the Democrats while 60% voted for the Republicans. 75% of
the Jewish Americans voted for the Democrats while 25% voted for the
Republicans. 95% of the African Americans voted for Obama while 5% voted for the
Republicans. 75% of the Latinos voted for the Democrats while 25% voted for the
Republicans.
So why would anyone expect us to view the bulk of these minorities as equals
with a right for citizenship when we consider them disloyal and unwilling to
fully assimilate?
These polls raises several important questions;
·
Will these minorities be seen as Trojans, or nation wreckers by the
conservatives in any given European country with similar statistics?
·
Will these minorities or the “disloyal” part of these minorities eventually be
blamed for the great European civil war, if so - which of them, and how would it
affect each different minority group?
·
Will these minorities or the “disloyal” part of these minorities be deported or
forcefully relocated during or after the current civil war? If, for some reason,
it proves to be impossible to deport/relocate them, will they be annihilated,
WW2 style?
·
Should the conservative Europeans invite the conservative (loyal) portions of
the minorities to join them?
·
Is it realistic that they will join, if they are invited?
·
Are we or will be we able to see the difference between a loyal (conservative)
member of the minority community and a disloyal one (liberal/Marxist)?
As I’ve said so many times before; I believe the outcome will be very different
in the US and Europe. After all, the composition of minorities greatly differs.
There are 30 million Muslims in Western Europe while only 12 in the US, there
are 6 million Jews in the US while only 1 in Western Europe. The Republicans
supports multiculturalism in the US so conservative European Americans doesn’t
have any form of political representation at the moment. The lack of political
representation is likely to cause a more explosive and devastating result, as
countries with a clear political alternative are more likely to avoid utter
destruction and may be able to orchestrate a successful military coup. The
reason for this is because the military trusts known entities but doesn’t (at
least historically) trust what is alternatively labeled as “right wing extremist
groups”.
One thing is for certain; a majority of European conservatives witness what they
see as the “disloyalty” of the greater parts of many minority groups and it
would be naïve to assume that this is a factor which will not have long term
consequences. Unfortunately, the problem is continuously escalating as we
continue to see an increased inflow of disloyal components which will only add
to the current explosive mix. This trend of mass import will continue steadily
until the economy collapses and phase 2/3 of the civil war is initiated.
As for the conclusive answer to the initial question; I believe we should
include as many of the loyalists as possible. However, there may be a mentality
shift, based a number of factors which may result in a different end game. If
the US/EU Multiculturalist Alliance refuses to capitulate to us, the
conservative forces, by 2020 and instead clings to power, it is likely that the
Great European Civil War will make WW2 look like a picnic, effectively sending
us all back to the stone age. So let us hope that they capitulate to our forces
in time.
While deportation and/or segregation might appear as the most discriminating
option at first glance, it’s actually quite the opposite. One of the reasons why
all African countries are failed states is due to lack of nationalistic
principles with subsequent lack of pride in their people and nation. The dream
about Europe, hanging like a carrot in front of a mule, eliminates any hope to
create and develop a sustainable African nation. Africans who successfully
emigrate from Africa are regarded as heroes by the majority of Africans in the
community they left behind...
The solution is to simply remove the destructive carrot altogether. African
pride cannot be established until the day we clearly tell them that Europe is
off limits and all aid will seize immediately. As for how to handle the so
called African asylum seekers;
An illustration on how a majority of asylum seekers should be handled in the
future.
Where the opposing forces control territory - A Somali illustration;
F example a Somali family consisting of; father age 35, son age 16, daughter age
10, pregnant mother age 30 fleeing from al-Shabaab in Somalia. The family paid
human traffickers to be smuggled to Europe and are now at an asylum camp in
England. The family should be automatically deported (forcefully if necessary)
to a territory under Ethiopian control (Ethiopian forces now controls and leads
the anti-al-Shabaab military campaign), where they will be able to serve the
anti-al-Shabaab forces. The males in the family, above the age of 15, should
immediately report for duty, receive training and contribute militarily to the
destruction of al-Shabaab and its Islamist allies. The women of the family must
do their duty and produce soldiers for the campaign, until the day they are
victorious and manage to seize military control of Somalia.
Ethiopian forces now control many refugee camps where they use people like these
as auxiliary forces in their campaign. The only thing required for this to
happen is that the European country in question comes to an agreement with the
Ethiopian or Somali anti-al-Shabaab leadership. If the leadership attempts to
complicate the process intentionally for the purpose of blackmailing for funds
etc, this must be countered by simply dropping off containers full of these
Somali refugees in safe zones, without permission. Alternatively, a small
fraction on land close to the allied camp must be secured militarily in order to
establish a drop-off transit area.
Where the opposing forces lack territory - An Iranian/Vietnamese
illustration;
In countries where the “opposing forces” do not actually control territory of
any size a different approach must be chosen. F example Iranians that somehow
manage to enter Europe must be relocated to a Muslim country close to the
conflict area. This principle should have been followed after the Vietnam War as
well. Anti-communist Vietnamese should have been relocated to Taiwan, a country
established by the anti-communist Chinese after WW2. There is absolutely no good
reason why an Iranian or a Vietnamese should be encouraged or facilitated to
travel across the world for relocation in a European country. However, in order
to ensure a smooth transition it would be required, by the future cultural
conservative regimes of Western Europe, to establish deportation/relocation
agreements with a multitude of regimes around the world. There are more than 80
conflicts around the world today that should concern us in this regard.
Europe should never encourage or facilitate the African (or Asian) cowards and
traitors whom attempt to abandon their people and their own struggle and
conflict. Rewarding cowardice will only establish a destructive precedence which
will result in a cultivation of the coward’s mentality.
This short sighted bleeding heart policy is one of several important
causes for both Africa’s and Europe’s problems.
As the third world resident learns that there is no hope of immigrating to
Europe he will begin to look inwards and start to contribute to solve the issues
in his own country. As soon as we, the cultural conservatives, seize military
and political control of Western Europe in the coming decades, we will begin to
implement these principles and help Europe and Africa by enforcing a policy
based on pragmatism and logic. As such; we will immediately halt current
bleeding heart policies which directly cause many of the problems we see in
Africa and other third world countries today.
Segregation in combination with a complete halt in aid and facilitating the
African governments to implement nationalistic doctrines are in fact the best
African strategy. Policies like these are in fact the most anti-racist approach
of all as it clearly defines the new responsibilities and limitations. Because
with responsibilities and limitations, comes opportunity. Nevertheless, people
who are very short sighted will consider these policies quite cynical or
darwinistic. However, long term, it is the most humanistic and responsible
approach.
In contrast to today’s policies; the current African policies represent
processes of “clientification”. Africans and African nations are treated with
the utmost contempt, very similar to how drug addicts on the streets of Western
Europe are treated today. The current African policies are very racist and
contribute to hold Africa and Africans back by taking what little pride they
have left away from them.
Consolidating European conservative organisations
“Before we can do anything, there must be a we.”
John Law
The
Vienna school of thought or “Crusader Nationalism” advocates a new
conservatism/nationalism - a hybrid of several conservative and traditionalist
directions. It is not a full-fledged ideology but can act as a caricature of a
reactionary ideological platform and an alternative to the left wing ideological
caricature known as the Frankfurt school of thought.
The ideological platform advocates a strict anti-Jihad/Islamic stance which
indirectly establishes a default friendly stance and support to Israel as an
integral part of its fundament. The Vienna School of Thought is a right wing,
Western European equivalent and reaction to the Marxist - Frankfurt school
(ideological caricature). The purpose of the platform is to ensure a
consolidation of anti-Marxist forces before Europe is overwhelmed
demographically by Muslims.
If the anti-Marxist forces fail to seize political and military power in Western
European countries within 20-70 years, we will end up like Lebanon (once a
Christian country), where 10 decades of Islamic demographical warfare have
reduced the Christians to a persecuted minority in their own lands.
The name of the school is coined after what its supporters see as the most
important battle in European history; the Battle of Vienna in 1683 where the
Islamic conquest of Western Europe was prevented by the Holy League, lead by
John III Sobieski. This conservative school of thought is mostly known for its
principles against doctrines rather than its principles or alternative political
policies/platform which will solve many of Europe’s current problems.
It’s a branch of nationalism is often referred to as the “European new right”
although its doctrines vary from moderate to more extreme. Many moderate
supporters of the school of thought will not acknowledge the more radical
doctrines. The Vienna School of Thought is a hybrid between several
sub-ideologies:
Pro:
·
Pro-Nationalism
·
Pro-pan-nationalism (pro-Europeanism)
·
Pro-national or pan-European crusaderism
·
Pro-Christian identity
·
Pro-cultural conservatism
·
Pro-monoculturalism (pro cultural unity)
·
Pro-patriarchy
·
Pro-Israel
Anti:
·
Anti-Marxism
·
Anti-globalism/internationalism
·
Anti-multiculturalism
·
Anti-Jihadism
·
Anti-Islam(isation)
·
Anti-imperialistic
·
Anti-feminism
·
Anti-pacifism
·
Anti-EU(SSR)
·
Anti-matriarchy
·
Anti-racist
·
Anti-fascist
·
Anti-Nazi
·
Anti-totalitarian
Areas not covered by the school of thought:
Economy
– the school of thought does not include a description of a clear economical
platform. However, a majority of its supporters are generally against a
communist/socialist economical model and at the same time against a laizzes
faire capitalist model. An economical model may contain socialist and capitalist
principles (welfare policies included).
Liberalism/individualism
– the school of thought is not against liberalistic or individualistic
principles as long as these principles do not significantly undermine the
collective interests of all citizens. Extreme collective individualism can have
catastrophic results on a society illustrated best through the average European
fertility rate of 1,5. We must always strive to ensure that as many as humanly
possible have every opportunity to pursue and find happiness and we should not
restrict these opportunities as long as they do not significantly undermine the
collective interests of all citizens. Ensuring attractive opportunities and
solutions for both conservatives and liberals can be solved by creating
“metropolitan liberal zones”.
Controversial principles:
·
Revolutionary, supports the overthrow of all Western European multiculturalist
governments through armed struggle to prevent the gradual demographical
extermination of Europeans through Islamic demographic warfare
·
Against excessive US cultural influence
·
Against US military bases/US military personnel on European soil
·
Restriction of media rights. Media should not dictate the policies of the nation
or the lifestyles of Europeans
·
Supports the deportation of all Muslims from Europe
·
Pro-Israel (pro-Zionism/Israeli nationalism, supports the deportation of Muslims
from the West Bank and the Gaza strip)
·
Pro-Russia (pro Russian nationalism)
·
Pro-Eurosiberia (supporting a federation with Russia – European Federation -
as long as Russia deports their Muslim inhabitants and breaks its union
with Muslim ex-Soviet republics and instead chooses a purely European
alternative). The new European Federation will be much more isolationalist with
a policy of economic nationalism (protectionism).
·
Pro-Boer/Afrikaner (supporting a partition of South Africa into two parts)
·
Pro-India (pro-sanatana dharma movements/Indian nationalism, support to the
nationalists in the Indian civil war and to the deportation of all Muslims from
India)
·
Pro-China (supports Chinas deportation of Muslims).
·
Pro-Thailand (support the nationalists in the Thai civil war and to the
deportation of all Muslims from Thailand).
·
Pro-Philippines (supports the deportation of all Muslims from the Philippines).
·
Pro-Sri Lanka (supports the deportation of all Muslims from Sri Lanka)
·
Anti-Turkey, many followers do not acknowledge Turkey and consider parts of
Anatolia to be occupied Greek and Armenian territory which must be re-annexed.
·
Pro-Christian Africa (supports Christian Africans against Jihad)
·
Pro- Rom/gypsy (supports the creation of a Rom/gypsy homeland in East-Anatolia)
·
Pro-Maronite (supports the re-establishment of a Christian Lebanon)
·
Pro-Assyrian (supports the re-establishment of a Christian Assyrian state north
of Lebanon)
·
Pro-Copt (supports the re-establishment of a Christian Coptic state in western
Egypt)

According to MSM and the Multiculturalist governments; everyone who criticises
Islam or multiculturalism/cultural Marxism (the political mechanism that allows
Islamisation) are considered fascists, racists and Nazis. So according to them
all patriots are fascists, racists and Nazis.
We shouldn’t do "their" dirty work FOR them by labelling fellow patriots. Most
of the youths who are recruited to "real" racists criminal organisations like
Hells Angels or NS organisations go there because they lack alternatives. In
other words, they go there because they lack ideological guidance. Organisations
like f example Hells Angels completely lack the intellectual and moral
justification we represent. This is why it is important that "politically
correct" patriot intellectuals like ourselves (at least some of us) should take
responsibility and give them an alternative. I’m not saying organisations like
SIOE or EDL should be that alternative but at least IT IS an alternative that
can be morally and ideologically justified. However, there is definitely a
market for more alternatives.
In this context it is essential to understand and acknowledge that our current
immigration policies/the Islamisation of Europe is actually a secondary
"illness". It is a result of the doctrines of multiculturalism. There has been a
successful infiltration of multiculturalist doctrines into our systems the last
four decades (state bodies/policies, school curriculum's, university campuses,
MSM agenda, media agenda etc.). Changing our immigration policies or stopping
the Islamisation is simply not possible without first dealing with the core
problem which is cultural Marxism/cultural relativism/multiculturalism. As,
already noted, the Islamisation of Europe is a "secondary manifestation" of
given ideology/principles.
We shouldn’t fight racism with racism but instead strive to gain the moral high
ground. In order to maintain our moral and ideological justification (for our
ongoing fight to liberate Europe from cultural Marxism/multiculturalism) it is
required that we reject and distance ourselves from ALL 4 hate-ideologies:
1.
National Socialism (anti-Jewish hate ideology, racist in nature)
2.
Islam (anti-Kafr hate ideology, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Atheists
etc)
3.
Communism (anti-individualism, anti-freedom)
4.
Multiculturalism (anti-European hate ideology, anti-white racism).
A multiculturalist is just as bad as a Nazi, which again is just as bad as a
true Muslim, a communist or a fascist.
We should and must strive to distance ourselves from all four ideologies. By
doing this we will gain the support of the masses and not end up as a
marginalised and excessively demonised insignificant organisation.
The problem arises as everyone who criticises Islam or multiculturalism, the
cultural conservatives, are automatically labelled by MSM and the Western
European multiculturalist governments as fascists, racists and Nazis. Do we
accept their premise, the cultural Marxist labelling techniques? Ofc we don’t
and we shouldn’t do their dirty work for them by labelling fellow patriots. 90%
of the individuals who uses Neonazi/fascist symbols are not real national
socialists. They are only extremely frustrated individuals who have been
demonised and ridiculed for too long by the establishment. They do not need to
be demonised further by us, they need an alternative patriotic movement which
strives to defeat all forms of hate and racism (multiculturalism included),
instead of fighting hate (multiculturalism) with more hate (Nazism).
Creating patriotic youth movements in phase 1
How can we expect to safeguard our societies against cultural Marxism and Islam
in the future (say in 2,3,4,5 decades from now) when Western Europe does not
even have any well organised patriotic youth groups?
Patriotic youth groups (also referred to as street activists) are the back bone
of the resistance and the creation of such political entities should be a
primary goal.
An intellectual club (consisting of older professionals) who rejects the notion
of offering political and intellectual guidance to the youths of the society
will have limited impact. A large majority of the current European conservative
intellectuals are cowards and unwilling to take responsibility. If they had
taken responsibility they would have started to develop a Conservative
Revolutionary Movement and/or several patriotic youth movements.
If the “anti-Islamisation/anti-totalitarian organisations” refuse to start their
own youth groups and start recruitment of patriotic youth then the so called
totalitarian-minded, racist or criminal organisations such as Hells Angels will
(as we are witnessing today). And when the time comes there will be one impotent
“politically correct” intellectual club “ without anyone who can physically
protect it and its doctrines from “Marxist/Muslim lynch mobs” as most of the
youths have been recruited by the other “competing” patriotic alternatives.
It would be irresponsible and quite hypocritical to just label the youths of
your society as “lost causes” just because the MSM tactically label them as
racists. I would bet 90% of the individuals who are labelled as “Nazis or
fascists” are in fact far from it and just lack ideological and intellectual
guidance. They feel they really have no other alternative. It is therefore quite
irresponsible and hypocritical not to take an initiative regarding the creation
of youth groups with the intention to offer them intellectual and political
guidance. Unwillingness to do exactly this confirms the notion that you are
nothing more than an irresponsible hypocrite.
This again raises several important questions;
Creating patriotic youth groups is a pragmatic and necessary approach as we
CANNOT and should not trust that our police forces and military act in our
interest now or in the future. Both our police forces and military are lead by
the multiculturalist traitors we wish to defeat.
So, if your goal or hope is to attempt to convince your traitorous politicians
to voluntarily remove and ban multiculturalist doctrines and Islam you are
delusional and extremely naive. However, I totally understand why people are
hesitant to discuss this publicly. Know this; if you pursue this course (create
patriotic youth movements) you will most likely be persecuted and ridiculed by
the multiculturalist government and the MSM press. You are likely to lose your
job and be the primary target of a campaign of psychological warfare. Pursuing
this goal will involve persecution and suffering in phase 1. Nevertheless, it is
extremely important that some brave Western European souls find the strength to
pursue it.
I have to admit, for many years I was scared as well (scared of being ridiculed,
frozen out, persecuted, harassed by MSM, blacklisted etc) so I completely
understand why other people are afraid to discuss this (creation of youth
groups, non-armed militias) as it is considered politically incorrect.
Myself, and many of the people I know (other cultural conservative
intellectuals) have been quite hesitant to bring this up as we were and still
are simply too scared of the consequences as an overwhelming majority of other
anti-Jihad ideological warriors are. We are reluctant to take the struggle to
the “next level”. It is inevitable but we tend to try to delay it for as long as
possible, clinging to the hope that our elites will come to their senses before
then. Somehow, we cling to hope and refuse to admit that there is no chance of
this happening. The Lebanon example illustrates how this happened historically
and how it ended. They waited too long due to cowardice and as a result, they
are now a persecuted minority in their own lands. We CANNOT and WILL NOT allow
this to happen again. We must act while we still can!
Lebanon
demographical development [Muslim vs
Christians]:
1911 - 21% Islam
1921 - 45%
1932 - 49%
1943 - 48%
1970 - 58% (Civil war 1975–1990 started when Islam reached 60%)
1990 - 65% (Christians lost the war)
2008 - 75%
Christian Lebanon waited too long before they started mobilising and as a result
they lost the war.
One thing seems pretty clear though. If the right wingers that holds the moral
high ground (us) refuse to take our youth under our wings (offering them
ideological guidance), they will seek criminal organisations like Hells Angels
or alternatively National Socialist movements instead. And it will be OUR fault.
Just take the initiative, and keep the discussions on closed forums (those kinds
of discussions violate FB and other societies guidelines so use neutral
discussion grounds). Focus on the people you trust first and don’t exclude
people based on the MSM premise and labeling techniques. After all, the MSM are
our enemies as 99% of journalists support multiculturalism.
Be aware of the factors that limit and creates difficulties for consolidation:
-
NIA (national intelligence agency) targeted extermination campaigns (see chapter
about NIA).
-
Unemployment rate
-
Lack of reputational shields (be smart, chosoe principles/names many people can
“morally defend”. A good alternative: Patriots against Fascism, European Human
Rights Movement. A bad alternative: National Front or any name containing the
word nationalist or other massively demonised words.
Copy your enemies, learn from the professionals
The cultural Marxists youth are known for their talents to infiltrate, control
or create organisations related to a spectre of themes. The cultural Marxists
are hateful individuals driven by their hate for anything European – European
culture, European traditions, European identity and European national
sovereignty. However, they disguise their true political intentions by claiming
to be driven by humanist principles, thus effectively smoke screening their true
agenda.
Typical names of Marxist controlled political entities are:
-
Youth against Drugs
-
Alliance against Racism
-
Alliance against Fascism
-
Feminist Front
-
Environmentalist organisations
-
Alliance against the Church (often for abortion and gay marriage)
-
Alliance against Israel
-
Alliance for Animal Rights
-
Solidarity with Africa
-
Solidarity with Palestine
-
Civil rights movements
-
Pacifist movements
-
Human rights movements
We, the patriotic/cultural conservative youth however should actively choose the
following spectre of themes:
-
Alliance against Muslim Extremism
-
Alliance against Jihad
-
Alliance against Sharia etc.
-
Alliance for Freedom of Speech
-
Patriots against Fascism
-
Alliance against Marxism
-
Alliance against excessive taxation
-
Alliance against the EU
-
Patriots for Europe
-
Alliance against the Lisbon Treaty
-
Stop the deconstruction of Christianity
-
Stop the European Cultural Genocide and the deconstruction of European identity
-
Alliance against the genocide of the indigenous peoples of Europe
-
Stop the Genocide of Christian Copts
-
Stop the Genocide of Christian Assyrians
-
Acknowledge the Armenian Genocide
-
Turkey out of the EU
-
Turkey and Albania out of NATO
-
Stop the Jihad against of Christian Sudanese
-
Human rights movements
-
Civil rights movements
The British EDL seems to be the first youth organisation that has finally
understood this. Sure, in the beginning it was the occasional egg heads who
shouted racist slogans and did Nazi salutes but these individuals were kicked
out. An organisation such as the EDL has the moral high ground and can easily
justify their political standpoints as they publicly oppose racism and
authoritarianism.
Yes, multiculturalism is a racist ideology but you can’t combat racism by being
racist. Several Western European political parties and youth organisations need
to understand this. The racist policies cannot be morally justified and is
counter productive for any organisation seeking support above the 10% mark. They
should rather attack multiculturalism on safe ideological grounds (cultural
justification, not racial).
Marxist and anarcho-Marxist youth organisations like Blitz, SOS, AFA in
Scandinavia managed in a very successful fashion to infiltrate the hiphop
movement in the 90s by creating a youth hub and arranging hiphop concerts and
even setting up their own record labels and direct alliances with artists. They
arrange concerts, have their own radio stations and offer various activities for
European youngsters together with related NGOs in which they have successfully
managed to take control over like “youth against drugs” and “youth against
racism”. The Marxists are actively using all these fronts as bases for
recruitment (in addition to university campuses). They even very often get
financial support from the state establishment to do exactly this. In Norway the
PC block lead by the Labour Party and Socialistic Left Party are strong
supporters of these organisations and give millions to support them.
The patriotic-nationalist youth movements on the other hand have been
systematically deconstructed the last three decades with the assistance of the
police, schools and of course the mass media etc.
A recurring strategy is to pressure the parents and youth themselves through
several directions. Demonisation is their weapon of choice. The end result was
that the cultural Marxist establishment in Norway successfully managed to
deconstruct the movement and push the rest of the elements underground. I know
the situation is quite different in various European countries. Sweden has the
largest movement in Scandinavia, Germany has a large alternative and the UK has
a large emerging patriotic movement.
The European patriotic movements should continue to target the trance/
electronica community and gain ground on similar new arenas and use them as the
Marxists have traditionally used the hip-hop community, the anti drug arena and
the environmental NGOs. They are the professionals and we should learn from
them.
False prophets
Denmark doesn't have an EDL (English Defence League) equivalent. Instead they
have Hells Angels, a criminal organisation who is claiming the title: defender
of the Danish people, knights templar etc. This is a typical example of a "false
prophet".
The problem here is that they are simply exploiting the naive patriot youth to
use them in a drug war against the Muslim mafias and street gangs. Street
protesters/activists are inevitable and important whether we like it or not. We
just have to select a line that can be morally justified towards a large enough
portion of the public. Racism and anti-Semitism can never be justified so don’t
even go that way. Indigenous rights however is not racism but is still a
minefield so tread carefully.
1. Organisations like EDL, doesn't have an official extreme political doctrine.
When they "bait" the UAF, and Jihadi youth (in the thousands) in to rioting,
they ensure that the riots are covered by national and international press.
During the Harrod protest there were only 16 or so from SIOE and EDL, while
there were 3000+ Marxist extremists and Jihadi youth. While it is perhaps
morally questionable to bait like this they enticed an overreaction which again
lead to "favourable" coverage (a significantly unfavourable coverage of Marxist
extremists and Jihadi youth). Favourable in the sense that Brits gets an
indication of the true potency and potential threat of the Jihadi mob, which
again results in more Europeans waking up from their self induced coma. It also
results in increased polarisation. Is it really that bad that more Europeans are
shocked out of their slumber?
2. The alternative would be that these patriotic youth are lured into "false
prophet" patriotic criminal organisations like Hells Angels or even NS
organisations which would be really bad.
Instead of condemning and rejecting organisations like EDL it is essential that
conservative intellectuals contribute to help them on the right ideological
path. And to ensure that they continue to reject criminal, racist and
totalitarian doctrines.
Sure, they will always be labelled as racists by the MSM, but who aren’t
labelled? Everyone who criticises Islamisation or multiculturalism and supports
Israel are labelled as racists, fascists and Nazis anyway. Europeans are getting
increasingly immune against the multiculturalist labelling techniques. More and
more people understand that Islam is not a race, but a hateful political
ideology. When they continue with the labelling techniques despite of this, it
is actually the individuals labelling other groups who are perceived as
intolerant bigots. People aren't stupid.
“He who does not trust enough, Will not be trusted.”
Lao Tzu
It’s imperative that we, the moderate cultural conservatives in Western Europe,
spend the next decades to recruit, build and consolidate our forces and try to
reach a common vision of a future Europe. Note that it will be very difficult to
cooperate and reach a consensus due to our different viewpoints.
There are many things about which we all disagree, but at this point we need to
unite simply in order to survive. We can sort out our disagreements later.
Suggestions for common uniting principles with the intention of consolidating
the four main cultural conservative movements
1.
Secular cultural conservative movements
2.
European conservative Christian movements (cultural conservative Christians)
3.
The Anti-Jihad Movement (anti-Multicult/Islamisation, pro Israel)
4.
Racial conservatives/NS (anti-Multicult, anti-Jewish, anti gay, neutral/hostile
towards Islam/Christendom)
Moderate uniting principles:
Society
-
Oppose the European cultural Marxist/multiculturalist establishment and their
agendas.
-
Oppose the feminisation of European institutions by promoting “rationalism” and
opposing emotionalism.
-
Support the nuclear family structure
-
Fight for free speech
-
Support the death penalty (3 strike)
Monoculturalism/Islam/Immigration
-
Promote the Judeo Christian traditions in Europe with emphasis on Christendom.
-
Oppose the Islamisation of Europe (European multiculturalism)
-
Fight for the re-classification of Islam as a political ideology (75% political,
25% spiritual)
-
Oppose mass Muslim immigration
-
Promote European culture in general
-
Implement measures against Islamic Demographic Warfare
-
Fight for the Church’s right to exist and grow (from current low). This includes
continued political pressure to support conservative Christian’s current
positions in the Church, the public sector and NGO’s. Individuals who have been
dismissed the last decades must be reinstated. Furthermore, it is essential that
we continue actively to try to limit the number of cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists in similar positions. The goal should be to dismiss
and replace them with conservatives from all three groups.
-
Promote a re-introduction of non-falsified historical references concerning
Islamic Imperialism, Islamic atrocities, Dhimmitude under Islam and un-biased
information about the Crusades etc.
Foreign policy
-
Support Israel’s fight against Jihad.
-
Oppose an appeasement policy towards the Islamic world.
-
Continue to militarily prevent any Muslim country from attaining nuclear weapons
(Pakistan must be disarmed).
-
Oppose Turkey/Albania/Bosnia Herzegovina membership to the EU.
-
Oppose Turkeys/Albania’s membership in NATO.
More extreme principles
-
Support for the banning of the Quran and the Hadith (as these books propagate
violence, genocide and war against all non-Muslims).
-
Disallow mosques in Europe as long as Christians are not allowed to build
Churches in Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries.
-
Support the dismantlement of Protestantism in the Nordic countries, the UK,
Germany (replacing it with Catholicism).
Overview includes several right wing groups from very moderate to very extreme
(certain overlapping terms):
-
Conservative Christian organisations
-
Cultural conservatives (moderate to extreme)
-
Regionalists and/or various Nationalists
-
Anti-immigration parties
-
Right wing populists
-
Racial conservatives
-
National Socialists (included although these are considered left wing)

In Spain the scene of radically restrictionist parties is very fragmented. The
leading but tiny restrictionist party
Democracia Nacional
has contested the last two Spanish general elections as the head of a coalition
named
Plataforma España
and

The new anti-immigration parties gained 50 extra councillors in Spain’s local
elections in 2007. Expect the 2011 elections to see a further boom in this field
- unless Spain manages to combat prejudices and consolidate growing
multiculturalism at the community level.

Eastern Europe
Eastern European Right wing parties/nationalist orgs:
The term “anti-immigration” or “anti-Islamisation” does not capture the core
concerns of Eastern European nationalist parties. Because immigration into these
countries is very limited, these parties have not mobilised against immigrants.
Rather, they have promoted strong right wing nationalism and as such they have
mobilised anti-EU sentiments, as well as anti-Semitism (in particular the Polish
Self Defence and the Hungarian Life and Justice) and opposition against other
ethnic groups, in particular the Roma (gypsies).
In Russia there are several forms of “nationalism”. You have the pro-Kreml
organisations like the Nashi (pro government youth org) who officially are
opposed to all fascist groups including National Socialists. Ironically cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist (politically correct) Western European media view Nashi
and all supporters of the Russian government as fascists (including the
government itself).

Comment: The majority of political parties in Armenia are nationalistic in
nature which makes it perhaps the only sovereign Christian country in the world
which is not dictated by the US or the EU. A majority of Armenians are in favour
of taking back territory from the Islamic Republic of Turkey and the Islamic
Republic of Azerbaijan. Armenians used to make out around 20-30% of the
population in Anatolia but most of them (75%+) have been wiped out in a
systematic Jihad (pogroms an dhimmitude) which has been going before and after
Constantinople fell in 1453. Armenians are in fact true and rightful Byzantines
and are one of two rightful heirs (along with Greeks) waiting for the day when
Anatolia and Constantinople is liberated from the occupying Muslim peoples
(Primarily forcefully converted Greeks/Armenians, Seljuk Turks and Kurds).
Hadn’t it been for the treacherous act of the British alliance with the Ottomans
during the Congress of Berlin (1878) and later the German alliance with the
Ottomans there would have been a Greater Armenia already, based on the Treaty of
Sevres.

Comment: Most of the Lebanon Christian parties/orgs are nationalistic in nature
due to the ongoing Jihad which has lasted since the early Muslim
occupation/invasion. Christian numbers have declined in Lebanon as the years
went by due to a systematic Jihad. The Christian Lebanese lost the civil war
(1975-1990) which resulted in the occupation of Lebanon where 60,000 Muslim
Syrian soldiers, 5000 Iranian Revolutionary Guards (Hezbollah) and thousands of
Palestinian Muslim militants from Fatah, Popular Front "Jabha el Sha`beyyeh" and
other terrorists organisations operate and have a freehand in Lebanon.

“Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the
time. Vision with action will change the world.”
Joel Barker
National-anarchism is somewhat a partial ideology of its own[1]. However, I tend
to put all individuals who refuse to embrace pragmatical methods and principles
in this category. A majority of these individuals do not directly contribute in
a useful way to any of the 8 political fronts.
They are currently more or less an irrelevant political force in most Western
European countries and they will continue to be politically irrelevant unless
they start to contribute efficiently through various ways of political activism.
Embracing our (the Knights Templar) primary principles is one of these ways.
Of course, it must be noted that many in the oi, RAC, ACAB groups do in fact
contribute to the struggle in very useful ways through active consolidation and
activation of former passive individuals. However, the large majority, who
themselves claim to be political activists, do very little or absolutely nothing
useful for our struggle. Their ideological platform and propaganda is often so
crude and un-appealing that they often end up defeating their own purpose and
often end up in isolated groups/spheres with minimal influence (penetration
rate) towards the broader society. Some even hurt the nationalist cause with
their counter-productive behaviour.
The ACAB mentality (All Cops Are Bastards) is a useless and counterproductive
philosophy. The cops/system protectors are NOT our targets and they never will
be. Instead, the Knights Templar, consider them speed bumps on the way to our
target destination. Sure, they protect the category A and B traitors but we do
what we can to avoid and evade all system protectors. If it comes to a
confrontation where we cannot evade or escape we will strike hard and without
mercy as they will do the same to us if given the opportunity.
If the national anarchists were true rebels - true nationalist revolutionaries,
they would not spend 1000-20 000 Euros on tattoos but rather invest that budget
on meaningful resistance by participation in the 8 fronts. If they are warriors
of the conservative revolution wouldn’t the investment in guns and explosives or
even books to broaden their knowledge base be the way to go? You can get premium
weaponry and armour for 5-20k Euro.
National anarchists often lack the will to fight because they lack long term
purpose and structure. They loathe authority hierarchies and the PC bourgeois
even more. They lack the structure in their lives that will allow them to become
an unstoppable political force. They will become a superior and unstoppable
force if they adapt and conform to the principles of the Knights Templar. They
have the potential to rise up from irrelevancy to become the leaders of
tomorrow. No one can make that decision but them, themselves.
It should be in the interest of every European nationalist to actively reach out
a hand to the national anarchists and offer them structure, know how - knowledge
and purpose. The road to influence begins by taking collective responsibility.
We must contribute to make them relevant in the ongoing European struggle, the
civil war. Because I believe they will prove to be an essential and required
piece of the puzzle. We may not be able to win as long as our less structured
brothers and sisters choose the ACAB and the immigrant/ANTIFA (anarcho-Marxist)
bashing mentality.
In short, they will continue to remain irrelevant as long as they channel their
frustration and rage towards immigrants, ANTIFA and the police, while completely
ignoring the category A and B traitors. They must learn to ignore the
immigrants, the ANTIFA and the system protectors and instead attack the very
heart of the 7 headed monster – the individual category A and B traitors. The
way to defeat the ANTIFA and win over the police is to destroy the 7-headed
monster, the category A and B traitors from where they get their funding.
Alternatively they should contribute to any of the other 7 non violent fronts
described in this compendium. Sure, street protesting, front 7, is essential and
important to prevent the ANTIFA from negatively influencing our other fronts.
But there are ways to structure this front more efficiently. It is highly
advisable to structure any street protest organisation after the English Defence
League (EDL) model as it is the only way to avoid paralyzing scrutiny and
persecution.
The system protectors of any given country can never be defeated nor should we
ever try to defeat them. They are an undefeatable manifestation of the regime
and they are easy to replace should some of them fall (unlike the category A and
B traitors).
National anarchists must reject and ignore un-ressurectable nationalist
ideologies such as national socialism. Instead study the great nationalist
revolutions and revolutionaries of our times. As of now, each fully motivated,
well prepared and battle ready Justiciar Knight constitutes the same usefulness
in our struggle as 1000 national anarchists. Now imagine the prospect of 1000
national anarchists adapting and embracing the principles and knowledge
associated with becoming a Justiciar Knight. 1000 European Justiciar Knights
spread all across a small or medium sized Western European country would be
enough to bring that cultural Marxist/multiculturalist regime to it its knees
and would result in full capitulation (or would at least eventually lead to it).
The potential and political influence carried within each and every national
anarchist is enormous should he one day choose to follow in the footsteps of the
Justiciar Knight.
1000 Justiciar Knights is of course a utopia, at least in the first part of
phase 1, as most of the national anarchists simply do not have the knowledge and
abilities required, and sadly most of them are unwilling or lack the courage to
learn and adapt. My hope is however that some of them will, and thus will
progress from the current valley of irrelevancy to living warrior legends of our
struggle.

Fight category A and B traitors NOT Muslims or ANTIFA (anarcho-Marxists/Marxist
Jugend)
DO NOT for the love of God aim your rage and frustration at Muslims. Muslim or
Paki bashing is a sure way to hurt our cause as this is what the cultural
Marxist elites WANT you to do. They want you to waste your efforts on fighting
Muslims and they will do anything to prevent you from aiming your efforts at
them. They want the indigenous Europeans to busy fighting Muslims as that will
guarantee their positions. We will never have a chance at overthrowing the
cultural Marxist if we waste our energy and efforts on fighting Muslims.
This can easily be illustrated:
When the pipe in your bathroom springs a leak and the water is flooding the
room, what do you do? It’s not very complicated, after all. You go for the
source of the problem, the leak itself! You DON’T mop up until after you have
fixed the actual leak. Needless to say, our regime is the leak (all category A,
B and C traitors), the Muslims are the water.
As such, ALL our efforts must be aimed at category A and B traitors with very
few exceptions. The ONLY exceptions should be sabotage attacks aimed at
infrastructure (to cripple/weaken the economy of our regime) and effectuate
certain devastating strategic attacks during the Muslim Eid celebration - later
in phase 1 and 2, in order to radicalise and manipulate the Muslim forces. The
Muslim husbands, uncles, brothers and nephews will go absolutely nuts which will
result in devastating Jihadi frenzies, substantially contributing to weaken our
regimes further and at the same time create more recruits for our resistance
movements. Muslims are our absolutely best recruitment tools. They act as
indirect recruiters by using rape, assault, robbery, arson and murder, forcing
their victims and their closest relatives/friends out of their coma.
Phase 1 (2010-2030) - priority
The ratio of attacks in phase 1 should follow the given guidelines: 90%+ aimed
at concentrations of category A and B traitors and less than 10% on the other
objectives.
Phase 2 (2030-2070) - priority
70% + aimed at concentrations of category A and B traitors and less than 30% on
sabotage and other objectives.
We will focus on the Muslims AFTER we have seized political and military
control. At that point, we will start deportation campaigns.
Anarcho-nationalism - Preservation of honour in relation to wild animals
As mentioned in another chapter; I have had my share of encounters with the
Jihadi youth in Oslo. And every time I’ve decided to do everything to avoid
conflict using drastic steps such as fleeing or, in cases where fleeing is not
an alternative, used psychological defensive approaches to psyche out the
individual (unexpected insults, threats).
So why didn’t I fight? Surely, I had access to my band of brothers, loyal and
proud friends, or a close and extended network of people willing to back me up,
to help neutralise any imaginable threat. Yes, I did have this but chose never
to use them or to call in favours. I also had access to weapons but chose to
never use them.
So why did I act like a coward and avoided conflict or ran away in some cases?
My mentality towards Jihadi youth changed when I was 15. Jihadi youths usually
act instinctively, with little concern for long term consequences, just like
wild animals. In fact, I would say it is a lot easier to push the buttons of a
Muslim bully than it is to provoke an actual wild animal.
If you are travelling through a forest and encounter a hostile wolf or bear,
what do you do? You do the only thing rational, avoid conflict. You don’t begin
to wrestle a bear with your bare hands, as that would undoubtfully be completely
idiotic and irrational. After all, it is impossible to lose face or honour to a
wild animal. Every patriot should apply the same logic in an everyday scenario.
Avoid the wild animals and concentrate on the real issue which is seizing
political and military control of our countries through meaningful and
structured resistance efforts.
As for territorial/neighbourhood disputes
If you live in a neighbourhood that is in the later stages of turning into a
Muslim ghetto then get the hell out. Yes, Europe is in the first stage of a
civil war but you must never make your neighbourhood your battlefield. The
primary essence of warfare is choosing your own battles. You do not let your
enemies chose the time or place. Do not waste your life as a martyr trying to
stagger a local Islamic tidal wave in your neighbourhood when it is already too
late to save it. It is better to regroup and live to fight another day and
reassess the real objectives. Taking reckless and unnecessary risks will only
disallow you from playing a nation changing part through the Resistance
Movement. Yes, you will be able to contribute but it is essential that you
decide the place and time to fight and chose the right approach and the right
arena for your fight.
In order to prevent Islamisation you must stop the FIRST Muslim moving into your
neighbourhood and not wait until after 10-100 families have colonised your turf.
Never allow a single Muslim to move into your neighbourhood. Talk to your
neighbours; make local arrangements through efficient communication so that no
one ever sells a house to a Muslim.

disarm just 300 Spartans. 13 million armed and lawful Western Europeans would
resist even harder. That we promise.”

Numbers based on Norwegian estimates (vague estimates)
Estimate of our current and future base of active supporters/sympathisers
There aren’t any representative statistics available for obvious reasons.
However, good indicators are the statistics gathered among Muslims in the UK.
Approximately 13% of young Muslims in the UK support Al Qaeda’s goals while
approximately 60% empathise with the same goals (understands their reasoning).
It is unlikely that there are more Muslims in the UK who supports a Jihadi
”conquest” than there are Europeans willing to defend themselves against such
”conquest”.
Here is an estimate (conservative estimate):
European Civil War, Phase 1 – 1999-2030 (Islam 2-20%)
-
5-13% of native Europeans and other non-Muslims support many of our goals
through armed struggle.
-
20-35% of native Europeans and other non-Muslims support many of our goals
through democratic struggle.
-
50%+ oppose mass Muslim immigration.
European Civil War, Phase 2 – 2030-2070 (Islam 15-50%)
-
15-20% of native Europeans and other non-Muslims support many of our goals
through armed struggle.
-
40-50% of native Europeans and other non-Muslims support many of our goals
through democratic struggle.
-
60%+ oppose mass Muslim immigration.
European Civil War, Phase 3 – 2070-2083 (Islam 30-60%)
-
20-25% of native Europeans and other non-Muslims support many of our goals
through armed struggle.
-
50-60% of native Europeans and other non-Muslims support many of our goals
through democratic struggle.
-
70%+ oppose mass Muslim immigration.
However, this does NOT mean that the majority of our sympathisers will join us
in armed struggle. Most people refrain from reacting since they live in economic
prosperity, and to stand up for their ideas would send them into suffering.
However, soon enough we will have an economic downfall that will make the
current recession look like a picnic. And then they will face suffering day in
and day out. And at that point standing up for their ideas will come at no extra
cost, since the suffering is already prevalent.
It’s also important to remember that most of our broader base of sympathisers
(60% of the population), even though they would fight for the sovereignty of our
country, they will not take active steps against their government or leading
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist leaders. They will be passive bystanders in
phase 1 at least.
Just like Irish-Americans assisted the IRA over several years,
European-Americans should assist their brothers in Europe. The faith of
multiculturalism will be decided in Europe as the front lines of the war between
cultural conservatives and cultural Marxists will be fought in major European
cities. The reason is that the doctrine of multiculturalism could have actually
succeeded if it weren’t for Islam. You can’t compare Christian Latin American
immigration against mass Muslim immigration etc.
As such, when we defeat cultural communism/multiculturalism here (between
2050-2090), the US will most likely choose to adapt voluntarily or forcefully by
the hand of their own people. The same will likely occur in Canada, Australia
and New Zealand. When the outcome has been decided in Europe, the cultural
conservatives of the US will rise and fight their own tyrant as they know they
will have the complete backing of a strong Greater European cultural
conservative Federation. However, Europe should not help directly as we can’t
risk a nuclear war devastating both the US and Europe.
This applies to our European-Canadian and European-Australian brothers as well.
You know that your governments will be quick to follow given European regime
shifts so it’s in your interest to help out your French, British, German,
Scandinavian etc brothers to defeat the cultural Marxists/multiculturalists here
in European metropolitans. Travel here yourself, transfer funds, give your moral
support, become a martyr in the fight yourself - anything will be greatly
appreciated.
As you might have noticed, I’ve deliberately avoided analyzing the US and even
Eastern Europe because the picture is much more complex there. I feel there are
simply too many political variables in the US and Eastern European (especially
Balkan) to create future predictions. Multiculturalism might actually succeed to
a much larger degree in the US (or at least might prove much harder to counter)
due to the much slower rate of Islamisation. The US government has also been
very careful not to excessively flood the country with too many low educated,
religiously conservative Muslims. On the contrary, most of the illiterate
fanatical Muslims have ended up in Western European countries. This may prove to
be a significant factor.
Everyone, absolutely everyone will have the opportunity to show their loyalty to
our cause, including nationalist European Jews, non-European Christians or Hindu
/Buddhist Asians. Our sacrifices on behalf of all groups do not come without
duties however. Understand that if certain factions we reach out to do not
respond to our calling in the coming decades it might contribute in the future
to change the patriotic organisations ideologically – into a more ethnocentric
line. At the same time, we are aware that a majority of minority interest groups
are lead by leftwing individuals and as such it is easy to understand why they
refuse to support any nationalistic groups on various fronts.
We are the leaders of tomorrow and everyone, absolutely everyone who supports
our cause will have a place when we seize power. But it is also important to
understand that groups who have a track record of disloyalty will be granted few
concessions. It is simply the name of the game.
It is therefore essential that conservative individuals of all minority groups
take responsibility and ensure that as many as humanly possible from minority
groups will contribute and work with us. As of now in phase 1 (1999-2030), it is
still possible to remain neutral without taking sides in the European civil war.
But during phase 2 (2030-2070) most people will have no choice but to flag where
they stand. Either you are with us, the cultural conservatives/patriotic
movements or you are with the cultural Marxist/Islamic alliance.
I personally hope that we can count on our conservative Hindu, Buddhist and
Christian allies from all minority groups. The only way to prevent ethnocentrism
from prevailing completely is to ensure that all conservatives from minority
groups takes responsibility and join our fight to take back political control
from the cultural Marxists/globalists so that we may repulse Islam from Europe
for a third time.
As of now, I still have faith that anti-Marxist/anti-Islamic individuals from
all minority groups will deliver.
“If not us, who? If not now, when?”
Hillel the Elder
Multiculturalism is a European hate ideology with the aim of destroying European
identity, culture, traditions, moral, Christendom etc (western civilisation). A
war against the MA100 (the 100 European political parties supporting
multiculturalism) and other criminal organisations cannot be won by one “front”
alone. The doctrines of multiculturalism/cultural Marxism are manifested and
propagated through several political fronts in Western Europe:
1.
Journalists/MSM (propagating their world view to the masses) 99%+
2.
Teachers/professors etc. (propagating their world view to students) 90%+
3.
Politicians 70-90%+ (10% are hardcore Marxists, 20% are dedicated cultural
Marxists, 65% suicidal humanists or career oriented cynisists, 5% capitalist
globalists)
4.
Community voices - Marxist/humanist/globalist controlled NGOs + writers,
artists, intellectuals and community debaters (individuals in various fields who
are propagating political views) 90%+
5.
Various political activists including investors, bloggers and various online
activists >50%
6.
Church leaders (using their influence to propagate conservative church values
and classical cultural conservative doctrines) 50%
7.
Street activists (AFA, UAF, EDL etc.) 90%
8.
Armed resistance groups/assault cells, freedom fighters
% indicate the unbalance between the Marxist and conservative forces.
We, the cultural conservatives, already have an ocean of bloggers and essay
writers. The problem is that we are failing to penetrate PC censorship
(controlled by our enemy) and reach out to the masses. The only rational
approach is to attempt to accomplish two things:
1.
Create a large cultural conservative news agency with national coverage
in each country who lacks it (critical of multiculturalism/cultural Marxism).
Brave individuals must take the initiative ASAP to act as an intermediary in
order to arrange meetings with cultural conservative
writers/bloggers/journalists, investors, NGOs and political parties. There
should be at least one alternative with national coverage in each country.
2.
Continue to involve Europeans on all levels (develop organisations like SIOE,
EDL etc. and strengthen all 8 fronts).
A few years ago I would probably reject those organisations because I wanted to
be "politically correct". I have changed as an increasing number of Europeans
seem to do as well. However, the overwhelming bulk of Europeans are still
unfamiliar with the truth. It will be our primary task to open their eyes.
Regarding the synchronised efforts of the various fronts: it’s essential to
understand that Marxist organisations like f example UAF/AFA (violent extreme
left wing organisation – also referred to as the New Hitler Jugend) are working
in tandem with the Labour Party and similar parties (moderate left, centrists).
Just like Al Qaeda is working in tandem with peaceful Muslims in a way. We have
to choose the same approach instead of condemning everything we don't personally
support 100%. You can’t let the fear of tarnishing your personal image prevent
you from doing the right thing anymore. Wake up.
We have to understand the bigger picture. Articles, journals and magazines are
only one front of cultural conservatism. Rejecting the other fronts would be
completely counter-productive and illogical.
In every political struggle regardless of the side you are on there will always
be several fronts. If you reject any of these fronts you have already lost.
Detesting and condemning the 8th front is considered logical and
necessary in phase 1 as we are too weak at this point. If you justify the
execution of traitors at this point you are likely to lose your job and be
persecuted. So at least publicly, you should condemn the 8th front.
The brave men and women in the 8th front won’t be offended. They are
professionals and would probably do the same, for tactical reasons. War is
deceit after all, as Muhammad stated more than 1400 years ago.
Publicly distancing oneself from the 8th front (armed resistance) is
necessary for many in phase 1
Open support for armed resistance/shock attacks etc. is counterproductive and
can result in you personally being incarcerated. You should always detest and
condemn (publicly) this form of activity as long as we are at a disadvantage.
The eighth front of the resistance movement
Military personnel/paramilitary personnel/armed resistance fighters/military
martyrs/shock troopers – they go by many names. Obviously, everyone has to
“officially” condemn violent actions although the majority (or at least a large
portion) will support them unofficially. The ninth front can also be divided
into two categories. A “shock trooper” or a “saboteur” will be an important
aspect in especially phase 1 of the ongoing civil war. Shock attacks and arson
attacks will prove to be very effective. The goal of the saboteur or shock
trooper is not to dominate militarily but rather to cause fear, chaos, damage,
demoralise the enemy etc. He will never actually be in a position to effectuate
a coup as this type of operation is dependent on perfect timing, a large network
of operatives and appropriate circumstances. It is still premature as of 2010 as
we still lack the sympathy and loyalty of the required number of military
officers and other strategic personnel.
Every front is extremely important. You cannot overthrow a regime without
representation from all fronts; at least it would be much harder.
If you reject the street activists, what would happen? The rival
counterpart, Marxist lynch mobs won’t have any competition, they will go idle
and will start to harass our other fronts - politicians, journalists, NGO
leaders, online activists instead. This is why we can’t ignore any single front
when you are a part of a political fight. All fronts serve their purpose.
In order to win the fight, you can’t reject any of these fronts, but instead
work so that they are ideologically synchronised with one goal (to replace the
Western European regimes). This is how the left does it and this is how we must
do it. It’s not very complicated. It just takes some time getting used to the
idea if you aren an individual who has been indoctrinated in the multicultural
system for decades.
Unbalances in the fronts
The nine different fronts should work like an organism. If there is an imbalance
in one front, it will influence the others.
To illustrate. 7. Street activists
Most “normal middle class people”, who oppose the ongoing Islamisation of our
countries, are afraid to demonstrate in the streets due to the fear of Marxist
and Muslim lynch mobs. The multiculturalist government and the journalists are
to blame why these Marxist/Muslim lynch mobs are allowed to roam our streets.
It’s important to understand that these mobs act as an extended arm for the
multicultural government with the goal of silencing political dissidents
(cultural conservatives).
If the people had a strong alternative to these lynch mobs then these
organisations would have their hands full and would not have the capacity to
harass the other “fronts”. As a result, there would be no fear from the masses
(middle class normal people) and they would participate and demonstrate or get
involved in other areas. As such, a large proportion of the silent majority are
individuals living in fear, reluctant to say anything as they know protesting on
the street would involve certain beatings and harassment, with their face
plastered in the news papers the next day labelled as Nazis.
We can’t win against cultural Marxism/multiculturalism with only one single
front. We need all 8 fronts, ideologically synchronised, street activists
included and we should work for exactly that.
If we see an emerging cultural conservative organisation who has a couple of
racists in it, instead of contributing to destroy/reject that organisation it’s
our duty to rather go in and help streamline it so that it is more synchronised
with our standpoints. We have to immediately stop doing the dirty work for the
multiculturalists. Rejecting these organisations (if you are a cultural
conservative) is the equivalency of ideological suicide.
If our criminal traitor elites wanted peace with their people they would offer
and reserve at least 50% of the positions of front x, x and x to cultural
conservatives only. However, it’s too late for that now. These criminals have
already allowed more than 25 million Muslims inside the European gates. All
category A and B traitors will be executed for their actions eventually. It will
take us 70 years but we will succeed.
Front 5 – Ideologically driven entrepreneurs – involving European investors for
the purpose of funding the various fronts in phase 1, 2010-2030.
Efforts must be made to convince, recruit and consolidate/include major
investors to form un-official networks with the goal of buying controlling
shares in strategic media companies. The primary goal is to control at least one
major newspaper with national distribution in each country. As soon as the
network gains control of the board all top and medium level managers will be
replaced with cultural conservative minded individuals. There must be at least
one major media company that has the courage to operate outside the boundaries
of political correctness and is bold enough to tell people the truth about
multiculturalism, the ongoing Islamisation and the individuals responsible.
All we need is one single individual in each country, preferably a business
minded person with contacts among the cultural conservative movement. He will
create/fuse a network/organisation with the sole purpose of bringing the right
people together. A small team of 1-5 people will then call every individual in
that country with f example a net worth of more than 100 million Euro and sell
in the concept/explain our purpose. Remember, we only need one or two large
investors’ minimum. This should be possible as approximately 35-50%+ of
capitalists are cultural conservative and critical of multiculturalism and the
ongoing Islamisation. An estimated 5-10% of these individuals are ideologically
confident enough to at least contribute anonymously, aprox 1-2% are
ideologically confident enough to contribute in an official manner. All we need
is an individual or two who are willing to start this process and ensure that
the ball keeps rolling.
Prior to this process, seeing that individuals depend on an income, it should be
created a fund for the sole purpose of contributing with “seed capital” to these
type of “ideological driven business entrepreneurs”.
Being a part of the European resistance movement involves participating in one
of the 8 cultural conservative political fronts as a direct or indirect
political activist. As long as you share some of our political views and
indirectly or directly work to influence those around you, you are per
definition a political activist. Most people are political activists without
even knowing it. The 7 “accepted” political fronts are the fronts that operate
within the boundaries of the law. They consist of first and foremost; working as
a cultural conservative professor/teacher/lecturer at a university, working as a
journalist/writer for conservative media companies or internet sites, working
for an NGO (non-government organisation), working as a politician, working with
intellectual tasks (analytical, literature etc) through essay writing, blogging
and news commenting and finally being involved with street protesting (EDL –
English Defence League). All the mentioned tasks constitute the legal and
accepted aspects of “political resistance” against political
correctness/cultural Marxism/Islamisation etc. Then we have the illegal 8th
front – any involvement in the military (or armed) struggle.
If you think assisting the PCCTS, Knights Templar n any way will involve any
military or violent actions, you are wrong. Working for the resistance movements
in general almost always mean participating in legal resistance and will and
should not in any way be associated to any armed resistance movement. Currently,
99,9% of individuals involved in the European resistance movements have never
done anything illegal and will and should continue to operate within the law.
Most individuals are not even aware of the fact that they are working indirectly
for the European resistance movements when they work against the cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist regime.
Considering the fact that there are currently less than 100 individual Justiciar
Knights spread all over Europe we hereby ask for assistance from our European
brothers and sisters. On behalf of PCCTS, Knights Templar, we ask that any and
all civilian sympathisers lend us their assistance with reaching the following
objectives. A primary task should be to send out the truth (as described in the
compendium 2083 – A European Declaration of Independence) which includes an
“indirect invitation to join us in armed resistance. It is absolutely essential
that people are presented with the truth ASAP before Europe is allowed to be
further consumed by Islam and its facilitators. It will be up to each European
if he or she decides to heed our calling or if he/she would like to wait until a
later time. Keep in mind that only a small fraction (in phase 1) of resistance
related work involves military objectives (less than 1%). More than 99% of
resistance related work revolves around the 7 other non-violent fronts
(everything from anti-Sharia blogging, essay writing to working for patriotic
political parties or NGOs). A very important aspect of this non-military effort
will involve indirect recruitment work for the armed European resistance
movement. Our objective is to consolidate all good forces in Europe. We are
growing every single day but we must do even more to increase the ongoing
political momentum.
A plead to all European patriots
We hereby ask any and all European patriots to actively target all members of
patriotic related Facebook groups (and non-FB networks) and invite them as
friends, then send this compendium to all members of these related groups.
Adding 5000 friends will take you 200 days with a 50% acceptance rate from one
account (50% of the people you invite accept).
All patriotic groups on Facebook total more than 2 million so it is quite the
task to distribute the compendium to all of these people. However, it is the
most efficient way to contribute to spread the knowledge and invite or remind
people of their duty to join one of the various European resistance movements.
Distributing it to all military and police personnel in Western European
countries is a prioritised task. So is distributing it to all parliamentarians,
journalists and cultural leaders of both left and right. This will probably be
the most important task. Before or after the compendium is translated, research
the email addresses of as many military and police personnel in your country and
send them an electronic version of this compendium. Getting the truth out to all
military personnel and police officers can prove to the most important task of
all. A majority of them already sympathise with our cause (although not all our
methods) but it is crucial that they are aware of the current status of the
resistance movement for future consolidation and cooperation.
To research military related addresses check Facebook related groups and invite
all you suspect of being in the police force and military. Join organisations
related to the military/police and use any method to gain access to
military/police email databases.
Essential administrative objectives - specified
1.
Please contribute to distribute the book, 2083, through Facebook groups or
direct distribution through Facebook networking/email-farming of
nationalistic/patriotic/anti-Islamisation groups in your country. Inviting
10 000 individuals from a group called f. example “Stop Islamisation” will take
you 100 days if you have 2 accounts. 10 000 invites will result in aprox 4000
email addresses (only 50% will accept invitation and 80% have email addresses on
their profile). This ratio is possible if you have a quality profile. Direct and
completely legal marketing efforts like this are an essential method in order to
contribute to consolidate and grow nationalist forces in Western Europe.
2.
Send the compendium to ALL members of parliament in your country. Research and
acquire the email lists of all political parties
in your country and send each member of Parliament the compendium. After
all, if they do not know our demands of the PCCTS, how can we expect them to
act? If you research thorough enough political sites on a local level you will
eventually find the email addresses to all parliament members. The more of these
individuals are presented with the truth the more will defect now or at a later
point. And some might join resistance movements.
3.
Send the compendium to all journalists in your country. Researching the email
addresses to all the journalists of a news desk should be easier than 2.
4.
Send the compendium to all military and police personnel in your country. This
must be a prioritised task as we rely on their future vigilance and cooperation.
Researching these email addresses will be quite difficult but MUST be a
prioritised task. Approximately 60% + of all military and police personnel
sympathise with our cause (if not with our methods). Getting enough contributing
sympathisers or even agents within the police/military force will prove to be
crucial especially in phase 2 (2030-2070). A tip for collecting email addresses
to military or police personnel is to go to memorial sites of fallen Afghanistan
soldiers or other types of military sites.
5.
Continue to develop 2083, A European Declaration of Independence. This
compendium should be considered a draft and everyone with intellectual talents
and capacity should contribute to develop it further and create better and more
thorough editions. Just call the next edition; 2083, Edition 2 etc. Keep the
language light so that it doesn’t become too academic. This will also make it
more accessible and easier to translate. You didn’t like a specific chapter?
Then make it better or replace it with something better. For strategies relating
to collective editing, you can consider to create an online Wikipedia type
solution which allows other members of the group to contribute. Obviously, no
administrative members can or should have any ties whatsoever with front 8
(armed resistance groups) as a precaution for your/their own safety. Make sure
that you do not break any “hate speech laws” and you should be fine. See your
country’s specific legislature for details)
Creating a European database – the mapping of category A and B traitors
The individual mapping of cultural Marxist/multiculturalist category A and B
traitors through Facebook cooperation should be a prioritised task.
Create national/pan-European Facebook groups (perhaps affiliated to a site not
affiliated with Facebook (and hosted in Antigua or another tax/law-haven) with
the intention of creating a database over all known cultural Marxist category A
and B traitors.
It is essential that you conceal this group by making the group as “innocent
looking” as possible and the group(s) MUST NOT reveal its true intent, as this
will violate the Facebook guidelines. One example is using a known legal and
accepted template and perhaps even making it slightly more innocent looking –
such as the AIM Facebook group:
AIM – Americans for the Impeachment of Marxists (in our case: Europeans for the
Impeachment of Marxists)
Description (mirror, just modify the text to make it reflect European factors, f
example mapping all pro-EU individuals (ALL pro-EU politicians are cultural
Marxist and/or multiculturalists):
Mission - To identify all Marxist sympathisers in the US Government and call for
their immediate impeachment.
Help us find 1,000,000 Americans who support AIM by the end of 2010! If you
support AIM, please suggest this page to ALL of your friends, family and those
of like mind!

God Bless America!
We are calling for the impeachment of ALL Senators and Representatives who have
voted, or are planning to vote, to expand the control of government.
Republican/Democrat/Independent... no matter. We determine their guilt or
innocence based on their voting record.
Additionally, we are calling for President Barrack Obama's Impeachment for
actually saying he was a Marxist, as well as not being able to provide proof of
American citizenship.
We are calling for all Conservative Members of The House of Representatives to
bring all leftist voting members up for impeachment under the guise that they
are voting in accordance with Marxists beliefs in order to expand government
control over every facet of our lives. Because it is unlikely that Congress will
impeach itself, it is our sole purpose to have these leftists labeled
Socialist/Marxists so that their constituency can see them for what they truly
are and fail to re-elect them in the future. Any damage done to this nation
should be squarely placed on their shoulders and worn for life. These men and
women are a disgrace to their offices, and should therefore be labeled and
removed. We know it sounds old fashion, but folks... we can no longer afford to
be lenient in the description of those that are harming America. Call a spade a
spade.
So Far... AIM has Identified the following Senators: (AGAIN... We DO NOT
determine association with Marxists beliefs according to party affiliation, only
voting record. Additionally, this list is incomplete and growing. If you have
someone you believe should be on it, please let us know. Currently we are
looking for more Republicans that deserve the label "Marxist.")
ALABAMA:
Rep. Bud Cramer (D)
Rep. Artur Davis (D)
Rep. Bobby Bright (D)
ALASKA:
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R)
Rep. Mark Begich (D)
Etc.
We are calling for the immediate impeachment of all government representatives
who vote in accordance with cultural Marxist/multiculturalist/Islamisation views
to expand government, raise taxes, and destroy civil liberties. They are guilty
of treason and should be tried as traitors.

(see European resistance fighters and the importance of an appealing image and
ideology - efficient marketing techniques)
If you are a European patriot and you are not on Facebook you need to shape up
and adapt. Get on Facebook now and start to network with fellow patriots in all
European countries.
Online social networking sites will be essential in the decades to come for
consolidation/recruitment purposes. Our struggle is not local; it is
pan-European and is going on in all countries where Europeans live
(inter-European). Our struggle should of course be on a local community level
but it must be combined with the broader struggle. What happens in France in the
different fronts will influence the UK for good and for worse. F example a
brilliant English rhetorical analyst should be able to help and coach
intellectuals in all countries in an easy way through Facebook groups.
When you invite an individual to your Facebook network you will gain access to
their email address. You then collect the email addresses as you get more and
more contacts. When you reach your designated goal (f example 5 000 collected
email addresses) you send the electronic version of the compendium (as a PDF
attachment) with the introduction message. Depending on the quality of your
email list many who receive the compendium will decide to read it and may be
inspired to join one of the 8 European political resistance fronts. Of course,
you will only manage to acquire 20-40% of the email addresses of the targeted
groups. Nevertheless, plead and ask that they distribute it to their networks,
their colleagues, families and friends so that everyone receives an electronic
version. I honestly believe distributing this compendium to as many European
patriots (and “potential patriots) as humanly possible is the most potentially
rewarding administrative resistance task anyone can contribute to. All
individuals will be presented with many aspects of “unknown” truths and they
will be inspired to join the resistance in some way!
Please distribute this compendium to all individuals in the following groups
(and similar “patriotic” groups - through their email:
Large patriotic Facebook groups - pan-European groups:
-
Take America Back (19k members)
-
English Defence League (11k members)
-
Ban Islam!! (3k members)
-
Stop Islamisation, wake up Europe (3k members)
-
Stop Islamisation of Europe (5k members)
-
Stop Islamization of America (3k members)
-
Contre l'islamisation de l'Europe / Against Islamisation of Europe (13k members)
-
I Support Israel in the War Against Terrorism (72k members) this groups is full
of Western patriots (Euro-Americans), not particularly targeted at European
nationalists though.
Geert Wilders (fan page – 5k members)
-
Fan pages of every European right wing political party (100-200k members)
-
Take America Back
Use your imagination; there are hundreds of patriotic Facebook groups out there
from moderate to more extreme visited by up to 10 million European patriots.
Target all! We have the truth on our side, and the truth must get out.
Don’t be lazy and think that merely posting the compendium link on groups will
be enough. You have to be a lot more thorough than that which will involve
hundreds perhaps thousands of hours invested, inviting each and every member of
the group to acquire the individuals email address. I spent thousands of hours
doing this over a duration of more than 6 months (from 2 Facebook accounts) and
I, alone, managed to send the compendium to more than 8000 dedicated
nationalists this way. If only 100 of these 8000 heed the call we will be able
to send the compendium to 800 000 nationalists! Please, DO NOT think that others
will do this work for you. No one else will. If you are unwilling to do this, we
have lost. Please, for the love of anything worth saving, DO NOT assume that
others will do this, because they will not! The fate of Europe lies on your
shoulders. This is the only correct and productive attitude.
National (regional) groups:
Groups for each country or regional groups, f example:
-
Jeunesse identitaire Européenne
-
Nei til mer Islamisering av Norge (21k members)
(Translation: No to more Islamisation of Norway)
There are several hundred groups full of patriots who should be targeted!
The potential is ENOURMOUS and our support base (Europeans opening their eyes)
is increasing every single day!
Please contribute to help us win this 70 year war by getting involved with this
essential task today. I know it’s tempting to be apathetic and let “the others”
do this job. Unfortunately, there is NO OTHERS, it is only US. If you chose to
ignore this task, no one else will do your job for you.
The only individuals who should be spared from administrative tasks are brave
heroes fighting in the field. It is not recommended that they contribute to
administrative tasks prior to operations as it will increase the risk of ending
up on watch lists.
If you don’t agree with all the points in the compendium, simply alter it to
your own liking. The important thing here is to:
-
Stop the ongoing indirect genocide of everything European
-
Stop the European hate-ideology known as multiculturalism
-
Expel Islam from Europe for a third time
This can only be achieved by seizing political and military control. As long as
you agree to these three points there is absolutely no reason why you should
refuse to contribute (due to secondary disagreements). It is your own choice
whether you put your own ego or European values first, but refusing to
participate by ignoring the calling will only serve to contribute to our
collective demise.
Non-European Facebook groups
National Security Guards (NSG), India (11,5k members, Indian nationalists)
We will in the coming decades (from 2010 and beyond) need leaders/initiative
takers/administrators that will use the internet/Facebook and other online
networks to preach and propagate armed resistance against the cultural Marxist
hegemony. Seizing political and military power in your Western European country
is the only way to ensure deportations of the Muslims from Europe and actual
self-determination for our people. This should be done using approaches not
conflicting with the laws in relation to hate speech. It is a lot you CAN say
without breaking any laws. As long as you do not propagate use of violence
against specific individuals or specific groups (political parties etc.) you
will not break any laws and can therefore call for all Europeans to join our
pan-European or national resistance movement. Use the intellectual material and
justification presented in this compendium (charges 1-8) to justify armed
resistance against the Marxist-Islamic alliance f. example. Create a Facebook
group or fan page and start marketing towards patriotic Facebook groups, or ask
your FB contacts to invite their friends etc. You can arrange online
presentations on behalf of your own group or be a “guest presenter” at other
groups and forums. This does not have to be limited to the online sphere. You
may visit camps, concerts, festivals or conventions and hold your presentations
to like minded individuals or sympathisers of our cause. Be smart, be
resourceful and creative.
This is how Islamist organisations are rallying support for their cause (Global
Caliphate) among their Muslim brothers in Europe. And this is how we will rally
support for our cause. They have their mosques and the same spheres. We will use
our own forums. It is probably the most efficient way of converting sympathisers
to actual soldiers and MUST be a prioritised task in the decades to come. The
essence of these efforts is to channel and structure all the resentment towards
our elites into constructive action UPWARDS (against category A and B traitors),
NOT downwards or sideways against the Muslims or ANTIFA.
Preventing prosecution while doing administrative resistance work - knowing the
definition of censorship legislation [1]
Hate speech
is speech perceived to disparage a person or group of people based on their
social or ethnic group, such as race, gender, age, ethnicity, nationality,
religion (not Islam is this is a political ideology), sexual orientation, gender
identity, disability, language ability, social class, occupation, appearance
(height, weight, skin colour, etc.), mental capacity, and any other distinction
that might be considered by some as a liability. The term covers written as well
as oral communication and some forms of behaviours in a public setting.
In many countries, deliberate use of hate speech is a criminal offence
prohibited under incitement to hatred legislation. Hate speech does not
however include criticism of political ideologies. As long as you use vague
rhetoric there is no way the hate speech legislation can be used against us. F
example, instead of using the words kill, execute you can use the word punish
when referring to how the so called category A and B traitors will or should be
treated. This is something Muslims are using when they preach “Jihad against the
infidels”. The terms are vague so it is impossible to prosecute them.
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech
Having many children is pointless, even counter-productive, if you fail to teach
them the truth and allow them to be indoctrinated by cultural Marxist/
multiculturalist propaganda. You are practically a God in your children’s life
and exercise unrestricted influence until they are 14 years, so use this time
wisely to ensure that they adopt your world view.
It is essential that you teach them about the hate-ideologies known as
multiculturalism and Islam and that you teach them about the category A and B
traitors and at least the basics of our patriotic struggle.
Although Western European regimes do not normally allow conventional torture,
they actively use indirect torture as a method to torment right wing political
dissidents. They do this by placing us, the nationalists and Crusaders together
with Jihadists and therefore indirectly use the Muslims as a tool for torture
and/or murder of our brothers. By
preventing Christian-Islamic segregation in Western European prisons, and
considering the fact that they knowingly place Crusaders of Jihadists in the
same “cage” they are fully responsible for the atrocities committed by Muslims
against any and all European conservative/resistance fighter/Crusader in prison.
Many of our European brothers in the prison systems are often harassed beaten
and forced to convert to Islam or suffer the consequences.
This scenario can be compared to that of the early Knights Templar’s during the
Crusades. On some occasions, Knights Templar’s would be captured by Muslim
forces and forced to reject God (even to spit on the cross in many cases) and
convert to Islam. This is why our ancestors created several counter measures and
developed simulations to coach their soldiers in how to prevent death by
deceiving the enemy. It is accepted to reject God and even to spit on the cross
as long as your heart is pure. It is permitted to pretend you are converting to
Islam as long as you do it to prevent murder or torture and as long as you
repent later. War is deceit, after all. Knights Templar military training,
almost 1000 years ago, included several of these simulations. In retrospect,
these practices lead to heresy charges brought by the Catholic Church against
the Knights Templar, although it has later been proved that this was propagated
by corrupt Church leaders conspiring with the French king.
Western European prison systems and Islam
These practices of consolidation and proper coaching must be revived now as we
are in the start of the current European civil war, and the third large Crusade.
The conservative/nationalist forces of Europe will not be in a position, for at
least several decades, to mass deport Muslims so we must suffer under Islam for
many years to come. In the mean while, it is essential that we do everything in
our power to consolidate and coach our brothers and sister to tackle the current
hardships, especially in the prison systems.
Because in Western Europe, as of 2010, Islam dominates an increasing
number of European prisons and are forcefully converting many of our brothers
just like they did 1000 years ago. The criminal multiculturalist regimes refuse
to segregate Muslims and Christians (even Crusaders and Jihadists), so in turn;
many of our brothers are currently suffering under prison-dhimmitude/slavery.
Consolidation is survival, apathy means death
Naïve Marxist-humanist principles of the bourgeois carry little merit in Western
European prisons where principles of natural law is dominant in many if not all
aspects of the system. A Justiciar Knight will therefore find himself under
circumstances where he will be able to befriend many likeminded individuals who
have similar political views. However, he should be well aware of the growing
Islamist criminal networks and certain sell-out European traitors who have
embraced the Islamic cause.
It is our, the incarcerated Justiciar Knights, responsibility to attempt to
consolidate European anti-Jihadi forces in our Western European prison systems
so that non-Muslims (especially European Christians but also Christian agnostics
and Christian atheists) are in a position where they can resist dhimmitude
(harassment/slavery) within the walls of our prisons.
European patriots should take steps to create a Crusader movement within our
prison systems with the intention of offering protection to all individuals
involved with the movement. Optimally, the movement should be political
(nationalist) and not based on ethnocentrism; offering membership to all
non-Muslims. Realistically however, it is naïve to assume that a prison movement
of this calibre would form on the basis than anything else than ethnocentric
lines. It is up to each and every incarcerated Justiciar Knight to take the
initiative to form prison movements. Justiciar Knights are often resourceful and
idealistic enough to make such ventures possible, and in light of their
achievements, they carry much credibility and will often be considered at the
top of the unofficial prison hierarchy. It is however, not realistic to form
European prison movements based on the principles of the PCCTS, Knights Templar
as it is often the “laws of the jungle” and pure and cynical natural laws that
take precedent in prison.
Any Justiciar Knight, in any of the Western European prison systems attempting
to form prison movements, is limited to and is forced to conform to his
environment. The Justiciar Knight will quickly be labelled as a “moronic
preacher” if he tries to shove the “codex of the selfless perfect knight” down
the throat of hardened and often self centred criminals which in turn may
undermine his efforts. He must therefore be realistic and adapt to his
environment and “speak a language which can be understood”.
Prison networks are often formed based on the pursuit for control of specific
financial segments within the prison walls; f example the drug trade, access to
cell phones and other goods etc. It is not necessarily desirable or smart move
to attempt to undermine established non-Muslim prison hierarchies. Optimally,
the network in which we will attempt to establish will optimally be purely based
on political, cultural and religious consolidation.
Efforts to consolidate and recruit patriotic resistance fighters in Western
European prisons must be a prioritized task the coming decades. Prisons are
considered an ideal arena for which to recruit for political purposes. Measures
must be taken by patriotic minded individuals in order to contribute to
recruitment to the European Resistance Movement. One of our primary goals should
be to transform the Western European prison systems into “training barracks”
from where we draw many of our forces.
The strategies should include:
Creating a rival and equivalent European/Christian prison network to that of the
Islamic networks
Intimidating and threatening prison staff and other inmates who are attempting
to undermine our efforts if necessary
Using prison visits to communicate with followers and allies in the outside
world. Visitors may also be used to forward messages to be displayed and
published online (on facebook, twitter and forums and sites)
Holding alternative Sunday prayers to draw other prisoners away from the
official prison services
Producing and distributing ideological literature within, and for distribution
beyond the prison population with the intention of convincing our brothers to
join our struggle to reclaim our countries through military means
Distribution of literature written by sympathetic figures, who has spent time in
jail themselves, will have more appeal than literature from academic
“rocking-chair-generals”
Western European Civil War
Phase 2
European Civil War, Phase 2, 2030-2070
- Islam, 15-60% based on country
- Consolidation continues, more advanced forms of resistance groups.
- Preparation for pan-European coups.
Considerations:
1.
Traditional: the slowest to form, this reflects a principally indigenous
insurgency, initially with limited goals. It is more secure than others, as it
tends to grow from people with social, cultural or family ties. The insurgents
resent a government that has failed to recognise cultural groups "who perceive
that the government has denied their rights and interests and work to establish
or restore them.
2.
Subversive: Usually driven by an organisation that contains at least some of the
governing elite, some being sympathisers already in place, and others who
penetrate the government. When they use violence, it has a specific purpose,
such as coercing voters, intimidating officials, and disrupting and discrediting
the government. Typically, there is a political arm (e.g., Sinn Fein or the
National Liberation Front) that directs the military in planning carefully
coordinated violence. "Employment of violence is designed to show the system to
be incompetent and to provoke the government to an excessively violent response
which further undermines its legitimacy." The Nazi rise to power, in the 1930s,
is an example of subversion. Nazi members of parliament and street fighters were
hardly clandestine, but the overall plan of the Nazi leadership to gain control
of the nation was hidden. "A subversive insurgency is suited to a more
permissive political environment which allows the insurgents to use both legal
and illegal methods to accomplish their goals. Effective government resistance
may convert this to a critical-cell model.
3.
Critical-cell: Critical cell is useful when the political climate becomes less
permissive than one that allowed shadow cells. While other cell types try to
form intelligence cells within the government, this type sets up "shadow
government" cells that, once the system is destroyed both by external means and
the internal subversion, until they can seize power. This model fits the classic
coup d’état, and often tries to minimise violence. "Insurgents also seek to
infiltrate the government's institutions, but their object is to destroy the
system from within." Clandestine cells form inside the government. "The use of
violence remains covert until the government is so weakened that the
insurgency's superior organisation seizes power, supported by the armed force.
One variation of this pattern is when the insurgent leadership permits the
popular revolution to destroy the existing government, then emerges to direct
the formation of a new government. Another variation is seen in the Cuban
revolution and is referred to as the foco (or Cuban model) insurgency. This
model involves a single, armed cell which emerges in the midst of degenerating
government legitimacy and becomes the nucleus around which mass popular support
rallies. The insurgents use this support to establish control and erect new
institutions."
4.
Mass-oriented: where the subversive and covert-cell systems work from within the
government, the mass-oriented builds a government completely outside the
existing one, with the intention of replacing it. Such "insurgents patiently
construct a base of passive and active political supporters, while
simultaneously building a large armed element of guerrilla and regular forces.
They plan a protracted campaign of increasing violence to destroy the government
and its institutions from the outside. They have a well-developed ideology and
carefully determine their objectives. They are highly organised and effectively
use propaganda and guerrilla action to mobilise forces for a direct political
and military challenge to the government." The revolution that produced the
Peoples' Republic of China, the American Revolution, and the Shining Path
insurgency in Peru are examples of the mass-oriented model. Once established,
this type of insurgency is extremely difficult to defeat because of its great
depth of organisation.
Continue to build and consolidate our base of support
Continue guerrilla warfare against the Multiculturalist Alliance through a
constant campaign of shock attacks. The objective is to continue to demoralise
them. It is a simple strategy of repeated pin-pricks and bleedings that will sap
the will of the MA to continue the fight.
By carrying out courageous actions, the Justiciar Knights will illustrate to the
people that the powerful are vulnerable. This will inspire admiration and
respect, not only with the people, but often in the ranks of the military and
police as well. There are numerous incidents of high-ranking officers in the
military or police force, disgusted by the attitudes and behaviour of the ruling
elite, who would withdraw their troops and withhold them from the fighting, and
in some cases even pledge themselves to the revolutionary government. This
happened in Spain, in Russia, in Mexico and to a lesser extent in Central
America, as well. Displays of bravery coupled with upright behaviour can win
over to the guerrilla's side those who have been apathetic or even opposed to
their actions. Not all who serve the powerful enjoy their roles.
Go to great lengths to map individuals in the intelligence bureau for potential
recruitment. Our biggest strength is that we know that around 40-50% of all men
sympathise and around 60-80% of all men empathise with our cause. The numbers
for females are 10-20% and 40-50%.
Use any means necessary to map employees in your National Intelligence Agency.
Identify candidates that are likely to be recruited based on this screening
process. Single men from 30-60, who live close by (or have earlier lived in or
close to) Muslim ghettos are logical choices. The chance will increase if that
person have had military service in a Muslim country or served as a “street
officer” in the police force. An individual who has had close contact with
Muslims in the past usually have a negative view on Islam and are thus likely
candidates.
Clandestine Cell Systems
Solo and duo cells will play an important part in Phase 2 as well. It might be
time to experiment with larger cell structures (3-4 with an external case
officer). Each clandestine cell operator knows the people in his own cell,
perhaps the external case officer, and an emergency method, not necessarily a
person, to contact higher levels if the case officer or cell leader is captured.
Compromised brothers
Brothers who have been compromised (flagged and under surveillance by the
national intelligence agency) will not be able to continue contact with any
cell. He can however, on his own initiative prepare and execute solo missions,
either PR stunts or solo military operations against any target. Non-violent
publicity stunts can be as valuable as military operations in some cases.
The rationale for the overt political-covert military split is to avoid the
inflexibility of a completely secret organisation. By splitting, the public
issues can be addressed overtly, while military actions remain covert and
intelligence functions stay clandestine.
However, even though no direct ties, a political organisation affiliated with a
”terrorist military wing” will result in various forms of persecution of the
individuals involved. It will most likely result in the leadership giving in to
pressure, bribes and as a result granting concessions (which the military wing
disapproves of), as we saw with the IRA case. On several occasions we have
witnessed that after successful terrorist operation, EVERY known affiliate will
be arrested and ”harassed” in various ways.
To avoid this, the political wing can have NO contact whatsoever with the
military order. The political organisation must be completely separate. This
applies to the paramilitary organisation as well.
The overt organisation must condemn all acts committed by the military order. If
they don’t, they too will be considered as terrorists.
The only really potential danger is if the leadership of the “legal”
organisation gets compromised (or just decides to stop supporting the cause).
Every measure must be taken to ensure control of the “legal” organisation. The
government will likely attempt use any means necessary to corrupt the
organisation, through bribes, threats etc. If this occurs counter measures must
be implemented to ensure control.
The whole purpose for the “legal” organisation is to function as an “indirect”
marketing channel for the covert military order. A deceitful approach is
therefore essential (speaking with two tongues).
One of Western Europe’s biggest historical mistakes was not to punish/execute
Marxists after WW2. Marxists who went into hiding during WW2 resurfaced and came
back to Western European societies after the war. Most of the lynchings were
aimed at the National Socialists while the Marxists for the most part were left
in peace. As we all know, that generation of Marxists were going to be
instrumental in development and propagation of cultural Marxist doctrine in
Europe two decades later, which would later be known under the name
multiculturalism. If we had executed let’s say, 100 000 Marxist intellectuals in
Western Europe after WW2 and banned all form of Marxist doctrine we could have
prevented the creation of the anti-European hate ideology known as
multiculturalism. It’s absolutely essential that we, the cultural conservative
patriots of Europe do not repeat this mistake again. All our efforts must be to
target and execute the multiculturalists wherever we find them in Phase 1, 2 and
3 of the European civil war. This will also include a large portion of so called
“right wing suicidal Humanists/or individuals supporting the one-world-view
(capitalists/industrialists supporting mass Muslim immigration included) but who
are not necessarily Marxist sympathisers. Patriotic militias must create and
update execution lists containing the names of every single parliamentarian,
journalist, NGO leader/board member and university lecturer/professor etc. who
has supported and propagated multiculturalist doctrines. As the war comes to an
end it is critical that the patriotic organisations and military orders
systematically hunt down and locate every single category A and B traitor in a
coordinated effort within a specific time frame (7 day operation involving 100
hunters per 1000 traitors optimally). Uncoordinated efforts of sporadic
executions will only result in a scenario where many of our targets are given
the time to flee the country. This is why several patriotic movements must
cooperate on a well coordinated “decisive blow” campaign as soon as possible and
BEFORE the civil war has ended. It might be tempting to make a spectacle out of
the celebratory “lynching” of specific targets. However, this type of behaviour
is counterproductive and not at all tactical as it will draw too much attention
and alert other cultural Marxist traitors. We must ensure that we focus on
eliminating all cultural Marxists before they get a chance to flee the country
or before they disappear off our radar. Also, individuals harbouring any
category 1 or 2 traitors must be severely punished. Certain category A and B
traitors may be incarcerated during the operation (if there is sufficient
capacity and manpower) with the intention for an official celebratory lynching
at a later point (to boost moral for our forces etc).
The reason why we should do it as described above is because of what history has
taught us. If we hesitate or act due to moral reservations or act in a clumsy
way, a majority of the traitors will flee the country and immediately and
actively start undermining our cause from another country. If they succeed and
our newborn regime collapses they will return and continue business as usual as
our slave masters. We cannot trust that the courts will punish them severely
enough. History proves time and time again that a large majority of post-war
governments chooses the path of appeasement because they simply are unable to
make a “tough decision”. They also want to “heal the national wounds quickly”
and will be hesitant to allow mass killings of traitors. Another problem is that
the court proceedings involving the traitors after the war will take from 1-3
years. Waiting this long will still the thirst for blood and revenge. A required
rational response will be replaced with emotional appeasement. A post-war
government must NEVER be trusted to sufficiently punish traitors. The risk of a
repetition of a WW2 scenario is just too large. Another factor is that a
majority of the category A and B traitors will have an extensive global
political network which they will use to put pressure on our regime. They simply
have too much political power as long as they are alive.
The biggest threat to an effective and thorough lynching campaign is the
temptation to commence the deportation of Muslims. This is why the lynching
force should only contain soldiers under professional leadership with the given
“unofficial and clandestine” mandate.
An illustration of several successful and decisive campaigns:
-
Serb Volunteer Guard
– SDG[1]
-
Type: Paramilitary organisation
-
Size: 10 000+
-
Garrison HQ: Belgrade
-
Nickname: Arkan's Tigers,
The Tigers
-
Commander: Željko Ražnatović
-
Second in command: Colonel Nebojsa Djordjevic Suca and Milorad Ulemek Legija.
The Serb Volunteer Guard -
SDG was a volunteer paramilitary
unit founded and led by Željko Ražnatović, widely known as Arkan, during the
Yugoslav reconquista.
The Guard was created on October 11, 1990
by 20 volunteers, members of the FK Red Star Belgrade football club Ultra
"Delije Sever". Reportedly at most points the Guard had over 10,000 fighters.
The Guard's headquarters and training camp was in Erdut, Eastern Slavonia.
The Albanian Muslims in Serbia refused deportation and convertion from Islam
(and instead started armed resistance) and as such were targeted for
annihilation.

How do you preserve wealth in times when the Four Horsemen (pestilence, war,
famine and death) are on the loose?
What's the point of making money if you cannot preserve it?
According to some myths; during WW2 people in Germany would take wheel barrows
of cash to the grocery store to buy bread and milk. The value of German currency
dropped so low that people would steal your wheel barrow and dump out the cash.
While the reality wasn’t exactly that grim you shouldn't put too much trust in
your currency/cash being worth tomorrow what it is today.
During the war prices were often dictated by the government. Money was basically
worthless because people needed government issued vouchers in order to be
allowed to buy necessities and they received these only for what the government
regarded as people's basic needs.
Best investments during phase 2 (2030-2070), predicting the future
The safest place to put money is likely to be in either high on demand items you
can use for bartering, dividend paying stocks (as opposed to non-dividend,
purely speculative stocks) gold or even silver.
During WW2, many large investors in the United States, Britain, Germany and
Japan managed to identify and predict the monumental turning points in the war
even as individual experts and other observers did not. The U.S. stock market
turned upward around the Battle of Midway in late May of 1943. The British stock
market bottomed just before the Battle of Britain in 1940, the German market
reached its peak as Hitler's army attacked Russia (which marked the German war
machine's first big key losses) in December 1941. Japan's market peaked in 1942,
despite the tightly controlled pro-war propaganda published by the Empire's
media.
But what are the lessons learned here? For protecting wealth, stocks are better
bet than bonds (real property can get confiscated). Gold and jewelry can be a
great alternative but can still end up as “problematic”, especially to convert
in the short term as your government may temporarily leave the gold standard to
counter overinvestment in this alternative.
Over the long run, equities (stocks – company ownership) is a good alternative
even in countries that are losing a war, because historically, even they have
managed to beat inflation. Just keep in mind that certain companies, especially
those companies who are aiding the losing side always risk being wiped or
expropriated by players on the winning side. Some will say that investing in
index (a great variety of industries) is the safest bet but obviously,
predicting which industry will do well is a lot better.
Another message from history is that even in the “lucky countries” (countries on
the winning side that don't suffer catastrophic attacks) wealth invested should
be diversified. There are no magnificent long-term, stocks to put away forever,
and there never have been because no company has ever had a sustainable, forever
competitive advantage. Excellence that lasts over multiple decades is virtually
nonexistent. Also bear in mind that wars will open a lot of windows and in the
aftermath lead to accelerated technological progress.
Business evolution seems to consist of a company developing a competitive
advantage, exploiting its edge, and becoming successful. Its share price soars,
and soon it is discovered and thereafter becomes a growth stock. As the company
grows and gets bigger, it attracts competition and inevitably becomes less
creative and competitive. Then as it ages, its growth slows and eventually it
stagnates or becomes obsolete. There is usually far less innovation in large,
mature companies.
The British East India Company in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries had a
total monopoly in four countries, possessed worldwide dominance in everything
from coffee and wool to opium, had its own army and navy, and was actually
empowered by the Crown to wage war if necessary. However the world changed, it
didn't, and its “massive core” collapsed in the face of technological
innovation. It went out of business in 1873.
In 1917, Forbes published a list of the 100 largest U.S. companies. Over
the next 71 years there was the Great Depression, World War II, the inflation of
the 1970s, and the spectacular postwar boom. When Forbes reviewed the
original list in 1987, 61 of the companies no longer existed for one reason or
another. Of the rest, 21 still were in business but no longer were in the top
100. Only 18 were, and with the exception of General Electric and Kodak, they
were all underperforming.
Another study lists a database of the operating performance of 6772 companies
across 40 industries in the postwar era. It was discovered that there was no
safe industry. Above all, don't hold your eggs in a few big baskets. The old
saying: “put all your eggs in one basket and then watch the basket” is a myth.
The risks of putting all your resources in one basket are astronomical.
The History of Gold Prices Since World War II
Gold as an investment is considered as protection against economic troubles.
Physical gold is used in manufacturing and jewelry as well as a store of wealth
for investors. The recent history of gold prices has been very volatile.
From WWII (around 1941) until 1971, the US fixed the price of gold at 35 USD per
ounce. President Nixon eliminated the fixed gold price in 1971, allowing gold
prices to move with market demand.
After the US dropped the gold standard, gold prices soared, tripling in value
hitting $100 in May 1973. The price varied between 100 USD and 150 USD until the
end of 1977. Gold moved steadily upward in 1978 and 1979 and peaked at 850 an
ounce on Jan 21, 1980.
Gold dropped in price 113 USD on Jan 22, 1980, starting a long downward trend in
price. The initial drop was to 315 USD in March 1982. Prices exceeded 450 USD at
the end of 1982 and again in April through June of 1987, but the two-decade
trend was lower prices. By late 2000, gold was around 250 USD per ounce.
Gold prices started a sharp climb in early 2002. It hit 400 USD in December
2003, 500 USD in December 2005 and 700 USD in May 2006. The previous record of
850 USD was passed on Jan. 2, 2008. Gold peaked at 1011 USD on March 17, 2008.
From March 2008 until the end of July 2009 gold fluctuated between 750 USD and
1000 USD per ounce.
Gold standard
Studies have indicated that as a conflict progresses and develops (civil war
etc) and the masses flock to gold this development contributes to a downturn in
national economies. Many governments will attempt to counter this by suspending
gold convertibility (or devaluing the currency in gold terms) which again
results in a scenario where many choose to sell their gold positions to rather
place their wealth in the market (stocks, bonds, banks) and therefore making an
economical national recovery possible. What policies countries followed after
casting off the gold standard, and what results followed varied widely.
Every major currency left the gold standard during the Great Depression. Great
Britain was the first to do so. Facing speculative attacks on the pound and
depleting gold reserves in September 1931, the Bank of England ceased exchanging
pound notes for gold and the pound was floated on foreign exchange markets.
A great depression and its relevance to gold speculation
Great Britain, Japan, and the Scandinavian countries left the gold standard in
1931. Other countries, such as Italy and the United States, remained on the gold
standard into 1932 or 1933, while a few countries in the so-called "gold bloc",
led by France and including Poland, Belgium and Switzerland, stayed on the
standard until 1935–1936.
According to later analysis, the earliness with which a country left the gold
standard reliably predicted its economic recovery. For example, Great Britain
and Scandinavia, which left the gold standard in 1931, recovered much earlier
than France and Belgium, which remained on gold much longer. Countries such as
China, which had a silver standard, almost avoided the depression entirely. The
connection between leaving the gold standard as a strong predictor of that
country's severity of its depression and the length of time of its recovery has
been shown to be consistent for dozens of countries, including developing
countries. This partly explains why the experience and length of the depression
differed between national economies.
Art, And Bonds Are Problematical
Third, the history of Europe during World War II indicates gold and jewelry work
fairly well to protect a small amount of a wealth. Think of them as your “mad
money.” However, as noted previously, the history of World War II warns not to
keep them in a safe deposit box in-country. Conquerors demand the key, and your
bank will give it to them. Have your own safe deposit box at home or secrete
your valuables in a safe haven. Above all don't tell anyone. When your
neighbour's children are starving (as so many were in the lawless winters of
1945 and 1946), they will do anything. If the barbarians come next time as a
terrorist attack or a plague, you are going to want to have your mad money close
at hand.
Fourth, art is not particularly good either. It is vulnerable to destruction by
fire, can easily be damaged, quickly plundered, and it's difficult to hide. At
the end of the war, Warsaw alone reported 13,512 missing works of art of one
kind or another. That said, some Europeans successfully removed valuable
pictures from their frames and smuggled the canvases out of their home countries
and transported them to safe havens. The caveat was that when they tried to sell
them, they were only able to get a fraction of their true value.
Fifth, at least based on the last century, fixed-income investments are nowhere
near as good as equities. Even in the Lucky countries, they provided returns far
below stocks, although they did offer much lower volatility. Across the various
countries, bonds had a standard deviation about half of that of equities, and
bills had volatility about a quarter that of equities. In terms of liquidity,
they were fine. Fixed income markets remained relatively liquid in London and
New York throughout the war years.
In the Losers [Germany, Japan, Italy, et al.], fixed income had severely
negative returns, and although government paper is normally considered to be
relatively risk free, German bill investors lost everything in 1923, and German
bonds investors lost over 92 percent in real terms after World War I. Admittedly
inflation was virulent in a war-torn world, and fixed income is not the place to
be in such an environment. In the chaotic, disorderly environment of the war
years in the Loser nations, you can't sell bonds or cash in bills any more that
you can trade stocks. However there was a period in the 1930s when because of
deflation, bonds were the best performing asset everywhere.
Conclusion
Precious metals, especially gold, jewelry and high in demand items such as
perhaps weapons, armour, ammunition, gasoline, survival kits, hermetic
food/rations and investments/buying stocks in “production facilities” such as
farms is likely to be considered relatively safe investments. However, farms or
other production facilities may be expropriated by the cultural Marxist regime
or the resistance movement for shorter or longer periods. Investing in foreign
companies located in a neutral country that produces f. example weapons,
ammunition, rations or offers transportation in some way (shipping, bulk, tank
etc.) are likely to be good investments.
“Marxist logic deemed our culture and traditions not worth saving. Marxist
logic, however, does not account for the power of free will. It’s up to each of
us to prove that our cultures and traditions are worth saving. Don’t sit and
wait for others to do your job and duty for you. Join the resistance today…“
The foundation for forming militias will be linked to your government’s success
in keeping unemployment figures low, and their ability to contain Islamic
terror. If your government fail on both areas, it will be a lot easier to form
and create a large militia group. During Phase 2, measures should be taken to
build and/or develop a conservative para-military organisation in each country
(1000 members per million citizens). This means that a country with 4 million
inhabitants should aim for at least 4000 members, a country with 60 million
inhabitants, 60 000 members etc.
A para-military is a force whose function and organisation are similar to
those of a professional military force, but which is not regarded as having the
same status.
The term paramilitary is subjective, depending on what is considered
similar to a military force, and what status a force is considered to have. The
nature of paramilitary forces therefore varies greatly according to the speaker
and the context. For instance, in Northern Ireland, paramilitary refers to any
illegally armed group with a political purpose, but in Colombia, paramilitary
refers specifically to illegally armed groups which are considered right-wing
(for example AUC), while illegally armed groups considered left-wing, such as
FARC, are referred to as guerrillas.
Increasing your power base
Entrepreneurial-minded leaders must take the initiative to the form and
consolidate larger networks/organisations both nationally and across Europe.
We must reach a common consensus of goals and agreeing on a final manifest
(which will be used in phase 3) with other conservative organisations.
Consolidate and stream line websites, information and strategy in accordance
with the approved manifest.
Recruitment
Create student organisations on as many Universities/Colleges as possible with
the goal of recruiting.
Head-hunters/recruiters - recruit target individuals - establishing contact with
military officers, politicians, private investors and other relevant and
potential allies in all areas of society. Efforts should be made to attempt to
merge and recruit similar organisations under our banner.
Diplomacy
Creates and maintains diplomatic relations with other factions, organisations
which are considered neutral or friendly:
Establish and consolidate support from religious communities:
-
Protestant community
-
Catholic community
-
Jewish community
-
Hindu community
-
Sikh community
Sub cultures
Attempt to establish and consolidate support from various sub cultures. It’s
important to have “sub culture” representation for the secondary effect it will
result in. This will also counter deliberate attempts to stereotype us.
Traditional militia building
If there isn't a militia or paramilitary group for your area - MAKE ONE!
Building a militia or para-military group is the efforts to create an
organisation designed to function and perform as a military unit. The
organisation may start out as a street demonstrating organisation like the EDL
or it may start of as a paramilitary organisation. The organisation may need to
be established in a clever way to avoid scrutiny or perhaps even state
persecution. Covers such as a “Modern Warfare” club, a Boy Scout organisation or
a street demonstrating organisation may work as efficient covers. The
organisation must ensure that it follows all laws to avoid persecution and
deconstruction efforts by the government. No illegal weapons should be acquired
as it may jeopardise the organisation as a whole.Various forms of deception is
likely to be required in phase 1 (2010-2030).
A leader or founder of a local militia must initially fulfill the following
roles until he is able to delegate tasks to fellow officers/leaders:
·
Administrative officer
·
Communications officer (diplomatic role, handling PR, and building political
alliances)
·
Intelligence officer
·
Recruitment officer
·
Training officer
·
Utility/equipment (acquisition) officer
·
Safe storage officer (weaponry/ammunition/armour storage caches)
·
Vehicle/vehicle repair officer
Establishing a HQ
Military organisations of all types must support a wide range of administrative
functions including personnel management, accounting, and procurement. Some
facilities are quite similar to civilian office buildings while others are
converted from other military uses and can be quite idiosyncratic.
A small facility, farm (rural) or office space (urban) may be set up for
administrative purposes (does not have to consist of more than 1-2 rooms in the
beginning)
Commissary Facilities
Traditionally, military units provided most of the rations, uniforms, and other
supplies needed by most military personnel. However, modern units often provide
fewer items and many personnel must buy some items with their own funds.
Personnel with families also must buy food, clothing, and other necessities for
the family.
Temporary solutions may involve sharing a room in the HQ.
Mess
“Mess” is the military term for any facility serving food to large groups. Some
mess halls in remote locations can be rudimentary, but others in established
locations can be similar to modern cafeterias.
Temporary arrangements can be made with the local café, cafeteria or restaurant.
Training Facilities
Traditional military training facilities focused on physical conditioning and
skills training. Newer facilities make extensive use of computer simulations of
various kinds to provide more hours or training in more realistic situations at
lower cost and with lower risk to personnel.
Temporary arrangements can be made with the local gun club, the local gym and an
internet café which facilitates multiplayer Modern Warfare 2 simulation.
Recruitment base – existing patriotic organisations
·
Political parties
·
Gun clubs
·
Military/police organisations
·
Boy scout movements
·
Football support clubs
·
Any patriotic movement
Create a nice website, a blog and establish a nice looking Facebook page. Use
Facebook to market the organisation. Just keep in mind that social networking
sites such as Facebook have strict guidelines so deception must be employed.
Facebook is the most efficient way to recruit.
Initial funding
Members should contribute to fund the activities in the beginning. The leader
may contact sympathising NGOs or other organisations for sponsor funding. Funds
from private individuals are also an option.
Militia building and its role in phase 2
The paramilitary organisation will remain in training/standby mode until the
window of opportunity arises during phase 2. This window of opportunity could be
a sudden momentum created in the neighbouring country (a coup or uprising
leading to the overthrow of the government). Be prepared to execute a coup but
ensure that you have a solid alliance prior to execution of operation.
Imagine the following scenario: France, UK or Germany is liberated after a right
wing coup or after a progressive revolution leading to the overthrow of the
cultural Marxist leadership.
Imagine if you are in a small country with a disorganised nationalist militia
movement. The following strategies may be implemented in smaller countries such
as Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg etc.
The objective of this guide is to show you how to take advantage of a political
uprising in your neighbouring country and use this momentum to your benefit to
stage a coup in your own country.
Factors needed to succeed with coup
The leader of militia/resistance need to live and/or be present in the capital
city with a force of at least 100 well armed resistance fighters willing to die
for the cause. All national militia leaders should be informed of the updated
status given by the national militia commander.
A command central with radio/walkie capability needs to be established for all
major cities prior to launch of operation. The command central needs to be
secure with a backup solution in case of sabotage.
You need at least one senior officer or 2-3 junior officers in the police force
willing to do what he can to work with you. Your insider(s) need to be aware of
the coup plans and ready to ensure that the police response team will not aid
the regime leaders.
You need at least one senior officer or 2-3 junior officers in the national
military willing to do what he can to work with you. Your insider(s) need to be
aware of the coup plans and ready to ensure that the military response team will
not aid the regime leaders.
Your force of 100 resistance fighters should know what to do. The total force
should split up in 3;. one unit of 20 will secure the parliament building, one
unit of 40 will secure the national broadcasting company. You must be ready to
broadcast immediately declaring that you are the leader of the national
military, that martial law has been implemented and that the constitution has
been temporarily suspended. You must urge all nationalists/patriots to assemble
at fixed (pre-determined) rally points in all major cities. Each major city will
have a militia leader with his own unit and pre-determined tasks.
It is likely that an armed confrontation between certain loyalist police
officers/military personnel and your militia occur so they have to be prepared
for this.
The tide will turn for the European Resistance Movements in phase 2 of the
European civil war and many will sense that the cultural conservatives/
nationalists will eventually manage to seize political and military power. As a
result of this shift, we will see a mass defection in the cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist camp or at least a public flagging of sympathy to our
cause. Many cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists will eventually notice that the “rats are abandoning
their sinking ship” during phase 2 (2030-2070). At this point in time, they will
panic, knowing that they are on the extermination list of every armed
nationalist resistance movement in Europe.
Unless a specific category A/B traitor have committed grave crimes, or unless we
are close to winning (if it can still benefit us), we should contribute to
provide incentives which will result in a scenario where a number of our enemies
will defect given that they follow certain specified steps. They must publicly
admit to their crimes listed in charges: 1-8 and ask the people for forgiveness
by following these steps:
They must post an official “Declaration of Defection” in the largest national
newspaper where the individual in question has citizenship. The declaration of
defection must contain the following format and information:
Example – Declaration of Defection
Declaration of Defection
“Full name” – “country
of citizenship”
I, “full name”, hereby acknowledge
that I have betrayed my country and people by committing one, several or all of
the following crimes listed here (charges 1-8): “Paste
in fuctional URL containing the full description of charges 1-8 in your language
and English”.
I hereby admit and acknowledge that multiculturalism is a European hate-ideology
designed to deconstruct European identity, cultures, traditions and nation
states. I used to support this anti-European hate-ideology. However, I no longer
support the European cultural and demographical genocide.
Furthermore, I hereby pledge my support to the nationalist resistance movement
in my country. I send my deepest apology to all European nationalists for my
indirect involvement in their past persecution. This persecution was illegal,
unconstitutional and undemocratic. I hereby pledge my allegiance to the
nationalist cause and will from now on support them or refrain from criticising
them.
Sincere regards,
“Full name” – “country
of citizenship”
“3 Previous job titles/occupation and
year of employment” (specification required so all individuals may be able
to identify, f example: Parliamentarian for the British Labour Party, 2005-2009
etc.)
The category A/B traitor in question will then be evaluated by the leadership
tribunal of the National Resistance Movement who will make a decision based on
all available factors. They may issue a full pardon, a partial pardon or they
may reject the request for pardon completely. The category A/B traitor in
question will be contacted if he is granted a full/partial pardon. If he/she is
granted a partial pardon the individual in question must allow the National
Resistance Movement to expropriate a substantial portion of his property and
funds which will be used to fund the resistance. The category A/B traitor will
then be granted guarantees of immunity from future persecution.
“I began the revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I would do it with
10 or 15 who had absolute faith. It
does not matter how small you are if you have faith and a plan of action.”
Fidel Castro
A coup d’état , often simply called a coup, is the sudden
overthrow of a government by a part of the state establishment, usually the
military, to replace the branch of the stricken government, either with another
civil government or with a military government.
The coup d’état succeeds if its opponents fail to thwart the usurpers,
allowing them to consolidate their positions, obtain the surrender of the
overthrown government or acquiescence of the populace and the surviving armed
forces, and thus claim legitimacy. Coups d’état typically use the power
of the existing government for the takeover. As Edward Luttwak remarks in
Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook: A coup consists of the infiltration of
a small, but critical, segment of the state apparatus, which is then used to
displace the government from its control of the remainder. In this sense,
the use of either military or another organised force is not the defining
feature of a coup d'état.
Tactically, a coup d’état usually involves control by an active portion
of the country's military, while neutralising the remainder of the armed
services' possible counteraction. The acting group captures or expels the
political and military leaders, seizes physical control of the most important
government offices, means of communication, and the physical infrastructure,
such as key streets and electric power plants.
Types of coups d’état
A coup d’état also is classified by
the rank of the military men leading the governmental overthrow. A
Veto coup d’état or
Guardian coup d’état is led by the
army's top commanding officers (usually generals). Sometimes the
commander-in-chief, or a few very top commanders are excluded, as being
appointees of and loyal to the sitting regime.
In a Breakthrough coup d’état the
leaders are junior officers (colonels or below), or even non-commissioned
officers (sergeants), and most of the army's senior officers are displaced too.
A bloodless coup d’état is when the
threat of violence is sufficient to depose the incumbent government with no
fighting, and there are no subsequent executions of the deposed faction.
However, a "bloodless coup d’état" is not always truly non-violent. Napoleon's
18 Brumaire coup d’état is considered an exemplar "bloodless coup", but during
the coup, legislators were forcibly ejected from their meeting place by
soldiers. In 1889, Brazil became a republic via a bloodless coup. In 1999,
Pervez Musharraf assumed power in Pakistan via a bloodless coup, and, in 2006,
Sonthi Boonyaratglin assumed power in Thailand as the leader of the Council for
Democratic Reform under Constitutional Monarchy.
The term self-coup applies when the
incumbent government, aided and abetted by the military, assumes extraordinary
powers not allowed by law. The historical example is President, and later French
Emperor, Louis Napoléon Bonaparte. A modern example is Alberto Fujimori in Peru,
who, though elected, in 1992 assumed control of legislative and the judicial
branches of government, installing himself as an authoritarian ruler. The
assumption of "emergency powers" by King Gyanendra of Nepal was a self-coup.
Besides Luttwak's non-military coup d’état, Samuel P. Huntington identifies
three classes of coup d’état:
Breakthrough coup d’état:
a revolutionary army overthrows a traditional government and creates a new
bureaucratic elite. Generally led by non-commissioned officers (NCOs) or junior
officers and happen once. Examples are China in 1911, Bulgaria in 1944, Egypt in
1952, Greece in 1967, Libya in 1969 and Liberia in 1980.
Guardian coup d’état:
the "musical chairs" coup d’état. The stated aim of which is improving public
order, efficiency, and ending corruption. There usually is no fundamental change
to the power structure. Generally, the leaders portray their actions as a
temporary and unfortunate necessity. An early example is the coup d’état by
Sulla, in 88 B.C., replacing the elected leader Marius in Rome. A contemporary
instance is the civilian Prime Minister of Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's
overthrow by Chief of Army Staff General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq in 1977, who cited
widespread civil disorder and impending civil war as his justification. In 1999,
General Pervez Musharraf overthrew Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on the
same grounds. Nations with guardian coups can frequently shift back and forth
between civilian and military governments. Example countries include Pakistan,
Turkey, and Thailand. A “bloodless coup” usually arises from the Guardian coup
d’état.
Veto coup d’état:
occurs when the army vetoes the people's mass participation and social
mobilisation in governing themselves. In such a case, the army confronts and
suppresses large-scale, broad-based civil opposition, tending to fascist
repression and killing, the prime example is the coup d’état in Chile in 1973
against the elected Socialist President Salvador Allende Gossens by the Chilean
military, aided by the CIA.
Post-military-coup governments
After the coup d’état, the military
face the matter of what type of government to establish. In Latin America, it
was common for the post-coup government to be led by a junta, a committee of the
chiefs of staff of the armed forces. A common form of African post-coup
government is the revolutionary assembly, a quasi-legislative body elected by
the army. In Pakistan, the military leader typically assumes the title of chief
martial law administrator.

Military declaring Martial Law
Martial law
is the system of rules that takes effect when the military takes control of the
normal administration of justice.
Examples of this form of military rule include Germany and Japan after World War
II. Martial Law can be used by governments to enforce their rule; for example,
after a coup d'état (F ex. Thailand 2006), in order to keep riots and protest
down or when threatened by popular protests (Tiananmen Square protests of 1989),
or to crack down on the opposition (Poland 1981).
In many countries martial law imposes particular rules, one of which is curfew.
Often, under this system, the administration of justice is left to a military
tribunal, called a court-martial.
Egypt example
In Egypt, a State of Emergency has been imposed almost continuously since 1967
CE Due to the assassination of President Anwar el-Sadat in 1981, martial law was
declared. Egypt has been under martial law ever since - the Parliament has
renewed the emergency laws every three years since they were imposed. The
legislation was last extended in 2003 and was due to expire at the end of May
2006; plans were in place to replace them with new anti-terrorism laws, but
after the Dahab bombings in April, martial law was renewed for another two
years.
Martial law allows the government to detain anyone deemed to be threatening
state security for renewable 45-day periods without court orders and also give
military courts the power to try civilians.
Public demonstrations are banned under the legislation.
It’s not a secret that a majority of senior/junior military officers throughout
Europe are disgusted with the current development in regards to the Islamisation
of Europe. These officers know that confrontations are unavoidable and are
monitoring the situation closely. However, do not expect many officers to risk
their necks just yet. It’s also important to know that there are many senior
loyalist officers who do not share our goals. It’s essential that you take
precautions when you develop your cultural conservative network. When the time
is right, these loyalist officers will be dealt with (Phase 3). Until then,
simply avoid them.
Phase 1 suggestions
Creating national and pan-European covert networks
Creating covert networks with like minded individuals (cultural conservatives)
in your countries and in other Western European countries is essential.
The networks objectives
Mapping of potential members or sympathisers (individuals considered as loyal to
the conservative network).
Mapping of potential security risks (individuals considered as loyal to the
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist government)
Creating a thorough overview of exactly which senior/junior officers are likely
to be loyal to the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist government.
Expand network but restrict distribution of sensitive data to a minimum of
individuals (by f example using ranking system).
Acquire intelligence from foreign networks, in regards to potential cooperation,
or acquiring information related to the objectives and agendas (f example: if
the Belgian network plan to execute a ”breakthrough
coup
d'état in exactly 18 months, you will like to know).
Security measures
Creating covert groups by using ”covers” can be a good idea. F example through
facebook groups involving Historical military memorabilia/artefacts etc. NATO
training campaigns can be a good way of meeting face to face to avoid the
possibility of electronic or telephonic monitoring. There should be
”initiations” which require the individual to be screened and background checked
thoroughly and perhaps given ”recruit” status for as long as up to 4 years.
Creating 10 levels/ranks of ”clearance” can be a good idea (it would then take
10 years for a recruit to get access to the most sensitive data. Rank 5 members
cannot share rank 5 data with rank 4 members etc.
Potential dangers
Avoid telephonic, electronic or written correspondence at all costs as this can
be monitored by National or foreign intelligence.
Keep in mind that your cultural Marxist/multiculturalist government (of senior
officers loyal to your regime) at any point can attempt to ”plant” intelligence
agents in order to try to uncover ”illegal” networks. Make sure that you are
taking all precautions necessary and simulate potential scenarios (have backup
plans available for any potential situation).
Phase 2 suggestions
Cooperation with cultural conservative militias/military orders
During phase 2 you should consider establishing and/or maintaining contact with
conservative/nationalist militias or other ”military orders”.
Cooperation with Russia
At one point in time the national conservative network leader will have to
consider establishing contact and attempt to cooperate with the Russian Ministry
of Defence, Russian Ground Forces or Russian Special Forces (Spetsnaz) through
FSB (Federal Security Service)
We must assume that any future attempt of Coup d'état against your cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist regime will result in a NATO response. As such, you
will need the assistance of Russia to counter this response.
“A revolution always seems hopeless and impossible the day before it breaks out
and indeed never does break out until it seems hopeless and impossible.”
George Bernard Shaw
Description of relevant factors:
France, 2069
(end of phase 2)
Population 120 million whereas 60 million Muslims. Integration and assimilation
of a majority of the Muslims have failed. There are now 4 huge Muslim enclaves
in different parts of France. The country went bankrupt in 2060 and unemployment
rates are around 30% (60% unemployment rate among Muslims). Several Muslim
militia groups have been formed along with several French Ultranationalist
groups. The French control the military and all institutions of importance.
There are weekly terror attacks against French civilians and other targets.
Assassinations are not uncommon. There are weekly rioting, arsons which results
in widespread devastation of property. Several Muslim organisations demand
autonomy, and the right to implement more Sharia laws.
A specific event triggers armed conflict which escalates into widespread street
battles in all 4 enclaves. Many armed Muslims are killed by the French military
including several indirect casualties (among them Muslim children). The event is
caught on tape and distributed across Europe. Widespread rioting starts all over
Western Europe…
The leading ultranationalist group have been waiting for this opportunity for
years, and have planned every detail for a coup d’état. This has been
coordinated with several key military commanders.
They strike against the weak cultural Marxist/multiculturalist government with
full force. They have several military contacts in the Russian Army and Russian
naval strike forces has been prepared and are only 8 hours away with the purpose
of intercepting any German or UK military response.
Thanks to the Russian fleet any counter coup is avoided. The first cultural
conservative government in Western Europe is being established. Within 20 years
from that day, there are no cultural Marxist/multiculturalist governments left
in Western Europe.
Let’s
pause for a second.
Historically, even though the people have been in great distress and face chaos
and bloodshed many people still cling to the hope of peace through appeasement
(30% of men, 70% of women). They will simply refuse to contribute to
deportations or any other pragmatic/rational and effective solution, something
that is simply against their nature (after decades of indoctrination of
pacifistic views).
Christian Lebanon is a good example. Instead of striking when they were in
majority they waited until the Muslims were in majority. Many Christian groups
were sabotaging any rational (war) approach and wanted instead more appeasement.
This continued until the civil war finally broke out.
It is unthinkable for these people to make the necessary tough calls (rational
decisions). We will illustrate this through the following question:
If you could save 1000 individuals by sacrificing 100 people - would you
contribute to indirectly kill these 100?
Every rational individual knows the only answer to this. Unfortunately 70% of
females and 30% of men are simply unable to make this decision. Decades of
pacifist indoctrination have made them simply unable to defend themselves. Let’s
refer to this group of society as the ”pacifists”.
This is the political reality we are being forced to cope with, so you should be
aware of the expected political circumstances even when a people are close to
obliteration.
A good illustration is the political climate in Israel at the moment (March 09).
The main Israeli attacks on the Syrians (referred to as Palestinians by the mass
media) have ended. These actions of self defence were initiated after a
continuous rain of rockets for years.
Here is the result from the Israeli election (categorised in regards to the
Muslim/Jewish conflict):
Moderate/liberal:
Kadima (Tzipi Livni): 28 mandates (-1)
Labour Party: (Ehud Barak): 13 (-6)
Total: 41
Neutral
Shas (religious) 11
Right wing:
Likud (Netanyahu): 27 (+15)
Yisrael Beiteinu: 15 (+4)
Total: 42
Other parties:
United Torah Judaism: 5
United Arab List–Ta'al: 4
National Union: 4
Hadash: 4
New Movement-Meretz: 3
The Jewish Home: 3
Balad: 3
Total number of Knesset seats: 120
It’s worth noting that Netanyahu has already found allies in right wing Yisrael
Beiteinu and in the religious Shas but has avoided creating a right wing
alliance because he knows it would collide with the US Obama administration.
I have to agree on the current strategy. The political climate of the world does
simply not allow small right wing players to exercise any form of power as long
as the EU and the US are controlled by cultural Marxists/multiculturalists.
However, the interesting thing is that it shows that a nation under distress and
literally where it is ”raining rockets” is still considerably moderate/liberal
due to ”pacifists”.
It’s also important to note that the Israeli illustration (of political climate)
is not really comparable to any Western European country. The reason is that
Israel has a very small group of Muslims who are eligible to vote. In contrast,
the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elites of Western European countries have
given most of the Muslim residents the right to vote. In fact, Muslims as a
voter group and political block is a significant one and their importance in
European politics increase from year to year.
As we have discussed so many times before, the problem arises when you add the
cultural Marxists/multiculturalists, the suicidal humanists, the globalist
capitalists, the pacifists and the Muslim Block. It is simply impossible to
compete democratically with this alliance. Even less so in the future when the
cultural Marxists have imported hundreds of thousands of new voters, and Muslims
in general give birth to new generations of voters.
We have lost the democratic battle of Europe. It is unrealistic to believe that
we can save Europe through democratic struggle from a future reality where
Muslims will be in the majority. The democratic battle for Europe was probably
lost before year 2000 (theoretically, and differing based on country ofc), which
is around 40 years after the EU’s Eurabia project was initiated.
Dialogue with the MA (Multiculturalist Alliance)
- aprox 1960-1999
Obviously, there is still a democratic struggle ongoing (from moderate
non-violent forces) and this will continue in tandem with the armed struggle
until we succeed.
Western
European Civil War Phase 3
-
The flood of demands is calculated to break the budget, jam the bureaucratic
gears into gridlock, and bring the system crashing down. Fear, turmoil, violence
and economic collapse would accompany such a breakdown providing perfect
conditions for fostering radical change.
-
Waiting for the right time to strike or create an opportunity. This can be
accomplished by arranging incidents (assassinations or terror attacks on mosques
during Id celebration etc) which would trigger major Muslim riots. If the riots
are violent enough it can serve as a perfect occasion for the coup.
-
Execution of the coup.
-
Create a Military Tribunal (acting government).
-
Declare Martial Law (state of emergency).
-
Establishment of a new government (if when the time is right).
-
Implement military and militia strategy (consolidating internal forces).
-
Coordinate with international allies, Russian military commanders (consolidating
external forces).
-
Arrest hostiles in your country (eliminate internal threats).
-
Ensure that demonstrations and protests (peaceful or violent) are put down.
-
It will take as much as 6-24 months until stability has been established
(depending on country and the political reactions from neighbouring countries).
-
This will vary depending on methods used.
-
Implementation of the political manifest should start immediately but discretly.
-
We can’t expect to reverse decades of indoctrination over night. In fact,
attempting to do so will prove catastrophic.
When the French people rise up during phase 3 lead by right wing movements we
should keep in mind that the UK and the US will likely implement measures to
prevent the French people from creating a right wing regime opposed to
multiculturalism.
Why would they act against the French right wing?
They want to protect their own interest. It is in their interest to ensure that
they maintain their hegemony and a “stable market”, a weak and obedient France
(importer of US, UK goods and services) which is unable to implement any
effective regulations. In essence, they want to control France like they control
Serbia and other nations.
US policy when EU and/or NATO countries are attacked
"Our first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival... we must
maintain the mechanisms for deterring potential competitors from even aspiring
to a larger regional or global role."
Pentagon's Planning Guidance for the Fiscal Years 1994 - 1999, a USA planning
document
When LIC (low intensity conflicts) threatens friends and allies, the aim of
security assistance is to ensure that their military institutions can provide
security for their citizens and government.""The United States will also employ
combat operations in exceptional circumstances when it cannot protect its
national interests by other means. When a US response is called for, it must be
in accordance with the principles of international and domestic law. These
principles affirm the inherent right of states to use force in individual or
collective self-defence against armed attack.
What this basically means is that the US and the UK will send Special Forces to
put down any “right wing coup” attempts to “secure their interests”.
This will mean that the French right wing should and must seek protection by a
third party (guarantor) prior to the coup. The reason for this is as the “new
right wing government” will be extremely vulnerable the first 6 months and it
might not survive a US/UK military campaign. This “third party” can only be
Russia.
Counter measures
(taken against any potential US/UK military campaign)
Prior to any coup, Russia will announce a training mission outside the Norwegian
coast. With the Russian defensive force (naval, air and ground) in place they
will be available upon request within 6 hours (if the UK and the US decide to
strike)
In addition - Countering any NATO response by employing Guerrilla warfare:
Cuba would later show again its masterful grip on guerrilla warfare when it
defeated American invaders at the Bay of Pigs (Playa Girón) in 1961. In less
than 74 hours guerrillas defeated over 1500 armed, trained invaders from the
United States. In addition to being a profound victory for the working class, it
shattered the myth of the imperialist United States’ invincibility.
Expect a full NATO military campaign.
The Western establishment will condemn the coup and use harsh rhetoric, call for
boycotts etc. They may threaten to invade if France goes ahead with
deportations. The Muslim populations in France are expected to entrench and
refuse all deportation attempts by attempting to declare independence
(enclaves). They may also call for military assistance from the Global Islamic
Ummah and from Muslims in neighbouring countries. Their strategy will most
likely be to entrench and refuse deportation in the hopes that NATO or the
neighbouring countries will invade and overthrow the current regime.
The new government will be labelled illegitimate and condemned by the UN.
Both China and Russia will most likely block the UN Security Council (in favour
of the new regime) so this automatically throws the ball to the NATO council. We
know already that the Western establishment will never accept a government with
a nuclear arsenal which they will label as extreme right wing. An invasion in
the planning is therefore expected without a doubt.
The only realistic choice of preventing an invasion and a subsequent
counter-coup would be that Russia in agreement with the current government has
pre-arranged an already accepted protectorate alliance where a speedy force of
Russian units rush from Russia’s North Western military bases and reach the
shores of France within 6-10 hours and assist the French military to prevent any
invasion attempt. Everything has to be planned and coordinated between the
Russians and the new French government. It is of the utmost importance that a
substantial Russian force reaches strategical areas in France before NATO will
react by sending forces via neighbouring countries (German military base f
example). It has to be 100% clear on the Russian side that any attempts of
counter coup from the Western establishment will result in nuclear strike
against the initiating party.
This will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to create and declare France as an
Islam free zone.
If successful and the new French government manages to overcome the impending
challenges it will set a new standard, and other European countries are likely
to follow. There are already fractions of the military, political scene on all
administrative levels in business and state level in every European country that
wants the same. A successful “re-conquista” of one European country will
therefore most likely result in a chain reaction until the day all Muslims have
been deported from European soil.

Take all precautions against economical hitmen sent by the US
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confessions_of_an_Economic_Hit_Man
"From 1945 to the end of the [20th] century, the USA attempted to overthrow more
than 40 foreign governments, and to crush more than 30 populist-nationalist
movements struggling against intolerable regimes. In the process, the USA caused
the end of life for several million people, and condemned many millions more to
a life of agony and despair".
William Blum, USA writer from the book, “Rogue State”
The US is the last Empire on earth. It doesn’t control its vassal states through
direct territorial domination but rather through cultural and economical
domination. It will generally allow their vassals (especially their Western
European crown vassals) self determination as long as they don’t implement
policies (cultural/economical) that hurts the US in any way. The US indirectly
controls Europe, especially Western Europe, a legacy which it has maintained
since WW2 and through the cold war until today. And of course, we have the many
banana republic’s of Latin America, most of which are now included in the US
cultural/economical Empire. The same goes for many African and Middle Eastern
states. The US, often assisted by its other vassal states (through NATO) has
ensured to place corrupt puppet leaders in charge of the majority of Muslim
countries.
The difference between the Middle Eastern and Latin American vassal states on
the one hand and its European vassals is that we are consider crown vassals with
extra rights in the US cultural/economical Empire.
Methods used by the US to ensure order in the vassal states:
·
Threats/diplomacy
·
Psychological warfare (through its affiliated media corporations)
·
Various other forms of intervention including cultural, economical and military
means
·
Economical hitmen, as soon as there is a regime shift in one of the vassal
states (where a hostile leader emerges) the US will first send an economical
hitman to demand loyalty from the new ruler. The hitman will present an offer;
he will say f example; in one pocket I have 1 billion dollars which is a gift to
you (or a suitable sum depending on several factors). In the other pocket I have
a gun, which we will use to kill you should you refuse our first offer. The
choice is yours. They will list multiple former regimes they have toppled/state
leaders they have murdered etc. to attempt to scare the new regime from turning
down the offer.
Since 1945, the USA has been responsible either directly or indirectly of
helping remove dozens of governments, many democratically elected, around the
world. Sometimes the events are kept secret for years and only slowly come out.
Other times, the events are the cause of demonstrations, anger and resentment at
the time they occur.
Whenever, an event like this occurs there are two reasons to be considered:
Reason 1:
The reason given by the USA, its media and its friends around the world. Reasons
like Communism, Terrorism, Fascism, Human Rights, Freedom, Liberation, Weapons
of Mass Destruction, etc.
Reason 2:
The actual reason. This is usually hidden from the general public and has to be
looked for in quotes by under-reported officials or subsequent events on the
ground. Often, the victims of the intervention/change of government know the
real reasons better than the populations of the Western countries. Real reasons
are many but usually include Business Interests, Access to Resources, Markets,
Military Bases, Strategic Value, or Political Support.
In the list below only
successful
changes of government and other substantial political interventions are listed.
Many attempts have failed.

Phase 3, 2070 - 2090
The US cultural Marxists/multiculturalists, suicidal humanists and capitalist
globalists will do everything in their power to prevent us from deporting the
Muslims living in Europe. They want to preserve European countries as the US
“crown vassals” which we are today.
The globalists (lead by the US) want to preserve Europe as a stable market for
their products. It is in their interest to prevent us from becoming truly
sovereign. In reality this is called slavery. They want to keep us as slaves.
They will therefore do everything in their power from preventing us from uniting
and as we already know; Western European countries will remain broken as long as
there are large Muslim enclaves (mini-Pakistan’s) in all major cities. We will
be paralysed as long as the Muslims are allowed to wage low intensity warfare
against us. When we attempt to deport all Muslims from Europe at one point in
the future it is likely that the US will intervene and they might actually
initiate bombing campaigns to prevent us from “cutting out our cancer” by;
bombing our railroads, our roads and our fleet (both naval and aerial). In a
way, they hope that we will initiate a genocidal campaign as it will give them
the proper justification to invade us and create US military bases on European
soil. Obviously, we must not allow ourselves to be manipulated like this as this
is what happened in Serbia. If they bomb our transportation means we must
rebuild it and try again. NATO did this as an active part of their strategy in
the Balkans. They made it impossible for the Serbs to deport any Muslims and
they continued to manipulate them hoping they would eventually lose all hope and
start massacring Muslims.
Bombing our transportation means is one thing but there are certain strategies
we will be unable to ignore;
·
US bombing of our railroad tracks, our roads and our naval/aerial fleet (they
hope we will begin massacre Muslims as it will give them the justification for
an invasion or massive bombing campaigns (seen in Serbia vs. NATO)
·
US supplying the Muslims in our country with arms and training (divide and
conquer strategy, they will do what they can to provoke an
overreaction/slaughter of Muslims - seen in Serbia vs. NATO)
Counter measures;
They may attempt to make it impossible for us to deport the Muslims. What can we
do?
There is not much a small nation can do against the US army. This is why a
single nation needs to actively consolidate and wait for other nations to join
the European Federation. We all saw what they did to Serbia. What could the
Serbs have done against the US army while Russia was paralysed at the time to a
shift of rulers? Absolutely nothing. The US armed and trained the Muslims in
Serbia (UCK) and bombed their roads, railroad tracks and their aerial fleet.
Serbs do not have a coastline so there are limited means for efficient
deportation methods. As they were stripped of all options, they did the only
thing they could; they fought the Muslims. However, as we all know, this is
exactly what NATO was waiting for and it created the justification needed to
initiate massive bombing campaigns and a subsequent invasion of southern Serbia
(Kosovo), in cooperation with the Islamist UCK.
It was also unfortunate timing for Serbia as it was during the inauguration of
President Putin (after two terms with Boris Jeltsin in Russia). Putin lacked the
political confidence at the time to intervene and help Russia’s cousin.
A single nation has to be very careful. Optimally, it should wait for other
countries to join a larger alliance (European Federation) before taking any
drastic steps. It should not give the US any justification to initiate bombing
campaign or even launch an invasion. The UK, France and Russia have hundreds of
nuclear weapons, so as soon as one these countries are liberated from
multiculturalist rule (or as soon as Russia joins) it will prevent the US from
intervening in such a manner.
If the US presses on and attempts to keep the UK and France as a slave nation
(US cultural and economical dominance enforced by the US military is slavery),
it is likely that it will backfire in the most devastating manner. Because, a
people do not appreciate being slaves of another nation. They may do everything
to ensure their freedom even if it involves launching 200 nukes from tactically
placed submarines placed strategically outside the US east coast, inflicting
massive harm on the US. Yes, the US will retaliate and annihilate that country.
However, it is sometimes better to live one day as a lion than an eternity as a
sheep. It is better to martyr yourself for a good cause (freedom from slavery),
than to be a slave. The sacrifice that country makes is likely to prevent the US
from intervening in other European countries in the future as the US East Coast
will be completely devastated.
Let us hope that the US (Democratic and Republican party) allows us, their
European cultural and economical crown vassals, to liberate ourselves and deport
the Muslims without them militarily intervening. We shouldn’t forget that we
have many allies in the US including a sizable faction of the Republican Party.
There are signals that might indicate that the US will not intervene militarily
after we begin liberating ourselves in the coming decades. We must continue to
work close with our US allies to prevent this from happening.

When the time is right and the new government (or Military Tribunal) are
confident they can handle deportations the following suggestions should be
considered.
All Muslims will be given the following choice:
Willing terms of Deportation
All Muslim individuals agree to leave the country voluntarily and peacefully.
Each individual will (at departure) receive a onetime fee (compensation)
equivalent of 1 kilogram of gold (10 kg for a family of 10).
For a population of 1 million, this would be 1 000 tons of gold at a total cost
of around 15,6 billion Euros.
Unwilling terms of Deportation
Muslim individuals who refuse to leave voluntarily and peacefully will be
forcefully deported (by the national military aided by the national police
force) and will not receive any compensation.
Economical impact once a
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
regime falls and an Islam free territory (Country) is established?
Illustrative example (after deportations);
Belgium
Population: 10,4 million
Muslim population: 1990:
500 000, 2008: 1 million (10%)
1 million Muslims
100 000 are retired (+70 years)
250 000 are aged 41-69
250 000 are aged 21-40
400 000 are aged 1-20
Individuals paying tax: 300 000-400 000
Individuals not paying tax: 600 000-700 000
Social economic results after deporting 1 000 000
A few particularly affected professional groups:
80% of taxi drivers are Muslims
60% of public transportation workers are Muslims
20% of health care workers are Muslims
50% of the restaurant industry is Muslim
Negative effects:
Short term economic effects would be disastrous. Problems to maintain public
transportation systems, taxi industry paralysed.
Positive effects:
50% Less unemployment subsidies
40% less subsidies to correctional institutions
30% less subsidies to kinder-garden type organisations
30 less subsidies to schools
20% less subsidies to colleges, universities
Inflow of immigrants from ethnic Europeans in neighbouring countries and from
Muslim dominated cities and countries throughout Europe.
Mosques and Islamic cultural centers are to be demolished or converted.
Crime would go down by more than 50%
Economic sanctions from Muslim countries:
Expect boycott and sanctions from all Islamic countries:
Economic sanctions from non-Muslim countries:
Expect 100% economic boycott from the EU and all non-Muslim countries except
Russia, India, China and Serbia (possibly certain other East European countries
depending on the amount of Pressure from the Western Establishment.
Short term terrorist/Islamist attacks (before and during deportations):
Guaranteed, as a majority of Muslims will refuse to be deported. It is expected
that they will rally, entrench and resist.
Long term Jihadi terrorist threats:
Minimal to none as there are no Muslims left in the country.
No controversial societal reforms, which could result in public outrage/forming
of violent anti-nationalist movements etc., should be initiated until the
country is completely secured and stabilised (reform/consolidation of the police
forces and the military) and before incotrinated groups have been able to learn
and familiarise themselves with the full truth about cultural
Marxism/multiculturalism.
When the country is secured, the process of reforming it may begin gradually (f
example by following the principles/agenda put forth by the pan-European
nationalist movements/governments). Know that winning the peace will be a lot
more difficult thatn winning the war so complete and thourough doctrines must be
developed as early as possible. It may prove beneficial if several countries
follow the same policies as these countries must have a pan-European plan to
fend off any ideological attacks from the remaining EUSSR/USASSR cultural block;
News agencies and/or related Media companies (private and public)
Foreign ownership of news agencies and/or related media companies
Foreign ownership of news agencies and/or related media companies should be
prohibited. Exceptions can be made if the foreign entity is considered
”friendly” (cultural conservatives).
Re-organising of news agencies and/or related media companies
Administration, Board of directors and staff must be screened thoroughly.
Background checks must be done for all individuals. Individuals who have
historically supported a multiculturalist view should be replaced and/or
re-educated by cultural conservatives. This includes all journalists/editors/
publishers. Alternatively, a minimum of 50% has to sympathise with cultural
conservative political principles.
Arrest any category A, B or C traitors.
Dealing with foreign or partial-foreign news agencies and/or related media
companies
F example foreign companies with broadcasting rights in given country (TV,
satellite, radio, and internet).
Demands will be presented. Study how the current Chinese or Russia handles these
issues. Certain foreign news agencies and/or equivalent media companies will be
considered hostile political entities (political propaganda centers).
Re-organising the educational sector
Universities, colleges, high school, secondary and primary schools etc.
Administrations, Board of directors and staff must be screened thoroughly.
Background checks must be done for all individuals. Individuals who have
historically supported a cultural Marxist/multiculturalist view should be
replaced by cultural conservatives and/or re-educated.
Furthermore, School/university curriculums must be revised thoroughly.
Arrest any category A, B or C traitors.
1.
Prevent Islamic influence and repel all current Islamic elements in Europe.
2.
Initiation of European cultural renaissance (With emphasis on Educational and
cultural reforms).
3.
Militarily assist cultural conservative movements in neighbouring countries.
4.
Assist with coups in neighbouring countries and consolidate forces (with
friendly new cultural conservative governments).
The current political systems will be reformed (emphasis on converting current
Western European political systems to constitutional democracies (certain
“managed areas”). This will include reforms on the following fields:
Defence
Culture
(Religious and cultural reforms). Islam will be reclassified as a totalitarian,
genocidal and racist political ideology (on par with national socialism and
multiculturalism) and subsequently banned.
-
Multiculturalism, an anti-European hate-ideology
-
National
Socialism, an anti-Jewish hate-ideology
-
Islam, an
anti-Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Atheist hate-ideology
All traces of current and past Islamic influences in Europe will be removed.
This includes mosques and Islamic cultural centers. All Muslims will be deported
from European territory.
Individuals who converted to a ”friendly religion/ideology” in phase 1. and 2.
and who accepted the assimilation requirements will be considered European
citizens. All individuals of the Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish or otherwise ”friendly
faiths/ideologies will be regarded as friends/allies/brothers and sisters of all
Europeans and may not be subject to the same assimilation demands now or in the
future.
Secondary goals
Disallow current and future European political Russo-phobic activity. This
includes disallowing the current anti-Russian activities lead by several EU
countries (the UK and Nordic countries in particular).
These anti-Russian activities has been ongoing for more than 100 years and
peaked during the British Prime Minister Disraeli’s reign (when the UK agreed to
protect the Islamic Ottoman Empire from Russia receiving Cyprus in return).
We acknowledge that integrating Russia and the ”former” EU will be challenging
(due to decades of anti Russian propaganda in certain EU countries) but we will
succeed providing that Russia accepts our demands.
Emphasis will be put on cultural and educational reforms in order to complete
this objective. Historical information concerning past European anti-Russian
political leaders will be revised. It is essential in this process that past
opportunistic traitors such as Disraeli are labelled as traitors to all
Europeans and that we conclude, cheer and acknowledge the fact that Russia did
indeed play the primary role in crushing the Islamic Ottoman Empire, liberating
millions of Europeans from Dhimmitude and thus deserves the gratitude of all
Europeans.
Opportunistic anti-European activities such as those of the Disraeli government
(and similar regimes) will be condemned as traitorous acts. Any Christian
country that allies itself with a Muslim country against a Christian cousin
should in the future be considered as an enemy of all Christian countries.
Once political and military control has been secured in at least one of the
following countries we will initiate our secondary goals:
-
France
-
Germany
-
United Kingdom
When one of the above ”key” countries are liberated from the grasp of the
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elites we will continue to support our
European brothers to eliminate the rest of the MA100 (Multiculturalist Alliance)
Any European cultural conservative country (with the exception of the above)
should be very careful to initiate any hostile acts (deportations etc.) unless
it has the support of any of the above (or Russia).
“First they ignored us, then they laughed at us, then they fought us - then we
won. “
Mahatma Gandhi
Finding the perfect balance between liberalism and conservatism will prove to be
a very challenging task. It is hard to please everyone and certain groups will
always be disappointed. It might be tempting to just implement all the
conservative policies we prefer considering we have political and military
control. However, it should be our primary goal to acknowledge and respect the
extreme liberals and try to appease them.
The Marxists – our enemy
Marxists (all category A and B traitors) will be shown no mercy whatsoever. They
will all be executed due to their war crimes listed in point 1-8.
Appeasing the extreme liberals
Let’s be realistic. Less than 10% of a country’s population are extreme Marxists
and less than 10% are extreme cultural conservatives. The great bulk of our
people are moderate people who just want the right of self determination and the
opportunity to live a happy and meaningful life. It is our task to provide
everyone the opportunities they desire as long as it doesn’t severely undermine
the long term sustainability/stability of the country.
A Marxist is always a liberal (except for the authoritarians) but a liberal is
not always a Marxist. There is a great deal of liberal individuals who want
unrestrained freedoms for themselves while some radically conservative want to
live like the Amish. The challenge is finding a sustainable and optimal balance.
The following suggestion will contribute to reconciliation between a majority of
people:
Create inner city zones where extreme liberals will be offered to live and work.
These zones should have regulated/controlled entry points. Everyone leaving and
entering will be registered to avoid excessive cultural contamination:
There should be at least one of these liberal zones per country (extreme Las
Vegas style). Suggested liberal zone regulation:
-
Radically liberal in regards to moral and ethical standards
-
Unrestricted access to alcohol, marihuana, prostitution and entertainment (hard
drugs will still be illegal).
-
Unrestricted possibilities for artistical, sexual, cultural expression
(exceptions are political messages that indirectly/directly undermine the best
interest of the nation state such as many Marxist political doctrines).
-
Alternative schools – providing that they are residents in the zone (up for
consideration).
-
Separate media – radically liberal – no censorship (with exception of political
propaganda). Access to the liberal media networks will be limited to residents
of the liberal zone to avoid unnecessary cultural contamination.
Points may be added or ignored based on future circumstances and other
considerations.
What do to with all the discontent moderate Marxists?
Keep in mind that many of these individuals are victim of four decades of
multicultural (cultural Marxist) indoctrination and should not be considered
enemies of the state (with the exception of category A, B and C traitors). A
majority of moderate Marxists is likely to choose to live in liberal zones.
Eastern Europe
Appeasing the Eastern European cultural conservatives
There is a great risk that the Rom/gypsies in the future will be severely
persecuted in Eastern Europe. They even risk being massacred. How can we avoid
this?
A majority of the Rom/gypsies are descendants of Hindu slaves brought to Europe
through Hindu Kush by the Ottoman Caliphate. Approximately 100 000 Rom slaves
were left behind after the Battle of Vienna in 1683. They were never invited by
Europeans and are today resented by a great deal of Eastern Europeans for
various reasons, their criminal behaviour being one. A majority of Rom are
unwilling to assimilate to European culture and norms.
A realistic solution would be to give the Rom/gypsies a nation of their own as
they are totalling approximately 5 million individuals worldwide (with a
majority living in Eastern Europe). They should be granted land in Eastern
Anatolia after we liberate West/East Anatolia at the end of this century.
Problem solved and a potential future genocide prevented. This option will be
given to those unwilling to assimilate.
A majority of so called agnostics and atheists in Europe are cultural
conservative Christians without even knowing it. So what is the difference
between cultural Christians and religious Christians?
If you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God then you are a
religious Christian. Myself and many more like me do not necessarily have a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God. We do however believe in
Christianity as a cultural, social, identity and moral platform. This makes us
Christian.
A majority of Christians, especially liberal, humanist Christians oppose the
doctrines of self defence. I believe that self defence is a central part of
Christianity as documented in another part of this book. The modern day pacifist
Christianity is among other things a result of our current regimes and their
deliberate influence of the Church. They castrated and made the Church impotent
and irrelevant, we will rejuvenate it by implementing our own reforms. But
pragmatism will be the basis for which direction we chose to go. A strong church
(on certain areas) is essential for the unity of our European countries.
It is essential that we preserve and even strengthen the Church and European
Christendom in general (by awarding it more political influence on certain
areas), when it comes to the moral,
cultural and social aspects of society. It should even be granted monopoly on
certain areas to strengthen European cohesion/unity. This does not mean that we
will continue allow the feminist-liberal, humanist faction of the Church to
propagate its pacifist-humanist (suicidal) views/anti self defence doctrines.
The Church must be anti-pacifist in the manner that it actively preaches
self-defence and even support preemptive strikes as a mechanic to safeguard
either Christian minorities in Muslim dominated areas or even Europe itself. We
must ensure that a sustainable and traditional version of Christendom is
propagated. This will involve that we take decisive steps to disallow the
liberal leaders of the church to prevent them from committing suicide. We must
ensure that the churches of Europe propagate an values that are sustainable and
that will even contribute to safeguard Christian European values long term.
European Christendom and the cross will be the symbol in which every cultural
conservative can unite under in our common defence. It should serve as the
uniting symbol for all Europeans whether they are agnostic or atheists.
The pacifist/suicidal Christians must never be allowed to dominate the church
again which one of the reasons why I personally believe that the protestant
Church in Europe should once again should reform to become Catholic (Nordic
countries, the UK, Germany, Benelux etc). Re-introduction of cultural and Church
aspects relating to honour should be the core of our objective when reforming
the Church. My hope is that the future nationalist leadership in Western
European countries will agree. At the very least, we must support the
conservative, anti-pacifist cultural Christian leaders and ensure that they are
able to influence the European churches. There must however be clear
distinctions. The Church must not put any limits whatsoever on issues relating
to science, research and development. Europe will continue to be the world’s
center for research and development in all areas, strengthened by a predictable
and “unchangeable” cultural framework. This again will considerably strengthen
European and societal cohesion and therefore contribute to sustainable societies
where harmony, progress, freedom and the furtherance of mankind are the primary
civilisational pillars.
It may be constructive to consider creating a federation (just like the early
days of the EU/NATO) with secondary membership (A and B members) based on fixed
factors (ranging from cultural, economical etc.). However, this will depend
heavily on if each newly liberated sovereign country will allow an open border
policy. It is likely that regional open border policies will be allowed based on
historical cultural and economical factors (f example the Nordic countries are
very close culturally and may allow this).
The European Federation of the future must no longer be envisaged in the mushy,
ungovernable forms of the present European Union, which is a powerless Medusa,
unable to control its borders, and dominated by the mania of cultural
deconstruction, free-trade, and subject to American cultural domination. We need
to imagine a grande monocultural Europe, based on the cultural and economical
cooperation of independent countries that will in a larger degree be inseparably
linked to Russia. Having no need to be aggressive toward its neighbours because
it would be un-attackable, such a bloc would become the premier world power (in
a world partitioned into large blocs), self-centered, pan-nationalistic and
opposed to all the dangerous dogmas now associated with
globalism/multiculturalism.
The new European Federation will be much more isolationalist with a policy of
economic nationalism (protectionism).
It would have the capacity to practice the 'autarky of great spaces' (economic
self-sufficiency and independence from foreign markets) whose principles have
already been worked out by the Noble Prize winning economist, Maurice Allais.
The destiny of the European peninsula cannot be separated from continental
Russia, for both ethno-cultural and geopolitical reasons. It’s absolutely
imperative for America’s mercantile thalassocracy (naval supremacy, in either
military or commercial senses of the word) to prevent the birth of the
culturally and ideologically confident European Federation.

-

-
The Armenian territory currently known as Eastern Anatolia (Turkey)
From liberation to consolidation towards the European Federation
Russia has the potential to become our worst enemy or our best friend. I believe
the latter even though multiculturalism (anti-nationalism) still is a factor
Russia.
As for the realistic outlooks in phase 2, it will be too hard for small
countries to be the first to break out of the multicultural (EUSSR/US) hegemony.
Many of the smaller countries aren't self sufficient on food production so they
will suffer hard when the EU/US responds with a full boycott and psychological
warfare campaign by the hand of the MSM (and they will for sure, remember how
Austria and Serbia was demonised a few years ago).
Russia will not reveal its intentions for a small European country due to
tactical reasons. The reason is that Russia knows that in order to fulfill the
minimum of the requirements as a trustworthy cultural and military partner it
has to at least partly seize its union with Muslim nations like Kazakhstan and
Tajikistan. Russia must either chose between its Muslim Siberian course or the
newly liberated W. European allies. Russia will be unwilling to do this for
anything less than “an attractive” option. A small European country alone does
not fulfill Russia’s minimum demands to change its current path. Thus we are
depending on that France, Germany or UK breaks out of the current hegemony
first.
I have little faith in the cultural and political self confidence of Germany.
They are still suffering from severe psychological trauma from WW2 which leaves
either France or the UK. Neither country has managed to successfully convert
anti-Marxist/Islamic/mass immigration sentiment into successful political
opposition yet although this is slowly changing.
Italy and Denmark have managed to do this to a certain degree so the potential
is there. However, they may feel they are too small/insignificant alone to take
the full step. They currently lack the self confidence to break out of the
hegemony because they are not yet ready and they will thread carefully and avoid
taking unnecessary chances.
One of the three larger European nations will and must break out eventually, I
estimate within 20-70 years. As soon as Germany, France or the UK does, we will
see a few smaller nations breaking out with them as well. At this point, Russia
will be ready with support. A new type of cultural and military alliance will be
born (not necessarily political as all nations involved will have complete
sovereignty). A cultural conservative “European Federation” will be born.
I believe Russia will be an essential partner in this future process as the
first country breaking out will rely heavily on Russia.
The first country breaking out of the current EUSSR/US hegemony will encounter
numerous problems. This is the reason why I don’t think Italy or any small
country will have the courage to go first. Even Serbia chose submission to the
EUSSR/US hegemony rather than take the risk of ending up as a new Belarus.
The outlook of breaking out first as a mini-country is too horrid. Because the
current EUSSR/US will consider this act as a potential existential threat and
will do ANYTHING to prevent it from happening. They will hit hard and use all
the available tools in their arsenal. They are likely to initiate the most
devastating media campaign in history (psychological warfare) against that
country in order to manipulate the public consensus. They will use all
diplomatic, economical and perhaps even eventually military measures to state an
example and prevent the process from completing and spread to other countries.
This is the reason why a country cannot do this alone and will rely on other
countries. Because if that first country succeeds it will be the beginning of
the end for the EUSSR/US hegemony. That country will in the beginning be
completely isolated from the EU/US, it will be kicked out of NATO and every
relevant international organisation. It will be overwhelmingly ridiculed,
demonised and abused. It’s a nightmare scenario for any country and the people
will suffer to a certain degree during this transitional period.
It will take a very long time before we are at this crossroad but it will happen
eventually – because multiculturalism (especially when Islam is involved) is a
self-defeating ideology. As soon as the first big country breaks out the EUs
fate will be sealed. It will either implode or it will have to become
stalinistic.
I wouldn't count on the US. They have too many problems of their own and Obama
is turning the country into the USASSR. The US became a victim of self defeat
the moment (this happened during the 80s) the Democratic and Republican Party
decided (against the wishes of the people) that they were not going to be a
European Christian country anymore.
Many will claim that even France and the UK are already doomed and that there is
no hope. Those pessimists should study history, especially the Lebanon scenario
more closely. Remember the Lebanon
example, once a Christian country (80% Christians in 1911). When Islam became
dominant (60% Muslims in 1970) they became so confident that they (the Ummah)
indirectly declared war, for allegedly conspiring with the Israelis. The
Christians lost in 1990 and now there is less than 25% left.
Prior to the civil war in Lebanon, much like Europe today; the country was
controlled by Marxist/humanist appeasers of Islam. Just like in Europe they
allowed Islamic demographical warfare to a point which lead them to civil war
when Islam reached 60% in the 1970s. The only reason why the “Christian
nationalists” lost was because the neighbouring Muslim countries helped their
fellow Muslims while Europe (especially France, who was now in bed with the
global Ummah) did little to help their eastern Christian cousin. Another reason
why they lost was because too many who should have fought ran away and emigrated
to Europe and the US.
Just like in Lebanon, the Muslims will become overconfident in Germany, the UK
and France eventually (we are already seeing clear signs of this). Germany,
France or the UK will come to their senses. Europeans will gradually understand
what our elites are doing and will begin to wage a guerilla war. There will be
sporadic attacks in phase 1 (1999-2030) but the attacks will intensify until the
point where a window of opportunity will arise during phase 2 (2030-2070) where
the European nationalists will successfully seize power. This is how the
Europeans will win. We will win due to the simple fact that we have nowhere to
go, while our colonisers still have their homelands intact.
France is likely to be the first country breaking out. Remember that they are
the epi-center of Islamisation in Europe with 12% Muslims (as of 2008).
Marseilles is THE epicenter, with 38% Muslims now (2008).
So, in aprox 20-70 years the first major W. European country will break out and
seek a federation with Russia. If this country will be the UK, Germany or France
is to early to determine at this point (although France is the likely choice).
Italy, Serbia, Austria, Chech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia and a few other
countries will join, followed by others.
This will result in a similar process in the US. Several states are likely to
break out at one point although it is much harder to predict an American
outcome. These new states may join this new nationalistic European Federation
providing they support the ideological doctrines. Australia and other European
countries are likely to join at one point as well.
Hopefully it will be the beginning of the end for multiculturalism countries
formerly known as the EUSSR/USASSR cultural hegemony.
Possible timeline for the creation and growth of the European Federation:
2040-2083: France or the UK + Italy + 5 smaller countries + Russia
2083-2110: The rest of Europe + Russia
2110-2150: Europe (with Russia) + parts of the former US (after the civil war) –
Western and eastern Anatolia territory liberated by European Federation forces
and annexed and reunited with Armenia and Greece, + Middle Eastern strategy
Creating a new European military alliance
The first action any liberated European country should do is to leave NATO and
seek a military alliance with Russia and other European cultural conservative
countries. NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) will optimally end up as a
shade of its former self consisting of only the US, Turkey and Albania. At this
point (assuming that the US haven’t been substantially weakened by economical
recessions and have avoided their own civil war), the US will have no choice but
to live in a much more isolated world, excluded from any cooperation with the
European Federation, or choose to change its ways.
We, on the other hand, will continue to consolidate a new European military
alliance consisting of all newly liberated European countries and Russia.
We should then create and consolidate a new European economical, military
and cultural alliance consisting of Russia and all European cultural
conservative countries.
Why dissolve NATO?
Americans will soon have their hands full with problems of their own and will be
in no position to assist anybody even if they wanted to. Europeans can and
should maintain good relations and cooperate with ordinary North American
citizens, who live under the same Multicultural regime as we do, but we cannot
and should not rely on aid from the American elites. They are as hostile as the
EU elites, as their support to Turkeys EU membership proves. Pushing for Turkey’s
EU membership is the same as pushing for increased Jihad (through Islamic
demographic warfare) and deconstruction of European nationhood and is therefore
totally unacceptable. Why would we want to have relations with a country who
wishes to destroy us?
There are other issues as well:
-
An American military presence in Germany is unacceptable.
-
The NATO atrocities against Serb forces were unacceptable.
-
US intervention in European matters is unacceptable.
-
US exports of high tech weaponry to Islamic countries are unacceptable.
-
Turkey’s and Albania’s NATO memberships are unacceptable.
-
US cultural domination over Europe is unacceptable.
Creating a new global military alliance
A new military alliance will be created with emphasis on the following
countries:
The above mentioned countries/territories including:
-
India
-
China and/or Japan/South Korea/Taiwan
We must attempt to include all Christian, Buddhist and Hindu countries in this
expanded military alliance. Russia will have to leave CSTO – the Collective
Security Treaty Organisation currently consisting of Armenia, Belarus,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyztan, Russia and Tajikistan. Depending on the US, an
alternative would be to maintain NATO if the US agrees to invite Russia and to
expel Albania and Turkey.
All countries of the new military alliance will have to support the cultural
conservative territorial claims (the Middle Eastern/Anatolia crusader campaign)
and participate in the campaigns which involve deportation of all Muslims from
the Balkans and any remaining entrenched Muslim group in Western Europe.
It is uncertain how Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine will react to a friendly
aproach but attempts must be made to include them in the alliance.
Countries excluded
The Muslim world will be completely isolated until the day Islam seizes to
exist.
Why we have to break out of the EUSSR/USASSR cultural hegemony
Some people will say; why do we have to seek a federation with Russia? We can
just tell the EU/US to stop harassing us and continue business with them as
usual after we have liberated our countries?
It is well known fact that russophobia is relatively entrenched in some European
countries, in particular the UK, the Nordic region, the Baltic region and some
other Eastern European countries. This will of course play a factor in how we
chose to move forward. However, the problem is that at this point, 2030-2070
(before the cultural conservatives have seized power), W. European countries
will all be close to collapse due to the crimes committed by our elites. There
will be Muslim majorities in some countries and our capitals will resemble
Beirut in the 1960/70s. The nationalist movements at this time will be hunted
and persecuted harshly just like the Nazis persecuted and executed European
resistance fighters during WW2. When we eventually win and manage to seize
control over our own countries we will not repeat the mistakes from the past
(ignoring the Marxists/ multiculturalists/humanists/globalists and letting them
re-infiltrate later). We are going to exterminate them all (category A and B
traitors only of course) which will result in the execution of tens of thousands
all over Europe. When these execution campaigns are completed we will deport all
Muslims. It will not be easy as no one will be willing to facilitate us so we
will have to use very creative means.
When all this is done, we will be considered as genocidal war criminals by the
remaining EUSSR countries and the US. In others words, we don’t really have a
choice but to build a new federation/alliance from scratch.
In phase 3 (2060-2090) the cultural conservative tribunals (which at this point
is controlling the liberated European countries) will take measures to take the
appropriate steps in order to safeguard European Federation economical interests
in EF territory and in the Muslim world prior to any permanent resolution of
mass deportation of Muslims from Europe.
The reason for this is to ensure that we lay claim to all potential advantages
available to us and can act in accordance with perceived outlooks. It is easy to
anticipate how the Muslim world will react to any permanent resolution of mass
deportations so it is essential to implement certain mechanisms PRIOR to
implementation of given doctrines.
So, what will happen to the European
Federation companies’ current investments in Muslim countries? This really
depends on how the Muslim world reacts when we deport 25 million Muslims (2008
number, 50 million as of estimated 2030 number, 100 million 2060 number). Each
and every Muslim nation will react differently and we should expect a
synchronised response or an initiation of some sort of attack “campaign” from
the Arab League. It is expected that they will halt all petroleum exports and
other commodity export to members of the European Federation and anyone neutral
to us. When they realise that the deportations will continue they are likely to
seize control/nationalise all European Federation assets and infrastructure
currently on their territories. This will include luxury hotels, petroleum
related plants, and other industry infrastructure. European Federation nationals
working in these Muslim countries are likely to be deported to their country of
origin or may even be kidnapped and used as an extortion chip which would be the
traditional Islamic way.
Needles to say, as a result of these reactionary Muslim
nationalisation/deportation campaigns, we will act in the same manner
in all European Federation countries. In fact, this would have already be
done prior to the first step to ensure that we have a solid position for
negotiations with the individual Muslim countries.
The following approach should be followed when negotiating with each Muslim
nations:
1.
All Sunni nations should be strongly advised to leave the Arab League and apply
for the status of a tertiary protectorate of the European Federation. This will
mean that they will accept the consequences of our future pre-defined Crusader
campaign in the Middle East which will involve liberating Western/Eastern
Anatolia, the creation of a Maronite, Coptic, Assyrian and Rom nation and expand
Israels border to include Gaza and the West Bank. The so called “Palestinians”
will be deported back to Syria.
2.
As for the negotiations with each Muslim country; any agreement must include
that they are willing to accept a fair share of expelled Muslim individuals from
European Federation countries. This will include f example individuals where
factors surrounding the repatriation efforts are disputed or are considered
exceptional circumstances (may also involve EF Marxist converts to Islam). All
Shia nations (Iran) and Shia controlled territories (parts of Jemen, Iraq etc)
should be advised to apply for the status of a tertiary protectorate of the EF.
3.
Terms offered to Muslim countries should be open for discussion and can be
flexible as long as it will benefit the long term goals of the European
Federation and each individual European country.
Sunni and Shia countries/territories likely to apply for the status as a
tertiary protectorate of the European Federation: Kurdistan (Former Iraq,
depending on their support for the liberation of Eastern Anatolia. UAE, Bahrain,
Kuwait, Egypt, Qatar – might apply due to the fear from Islamic fundamentalists
(a majority of these regimes are puppet regimes who fear the wrath of the
Ummah).
Kurdistan is the only likely alliance partner (they are hated by both Turks and
Arabs). The rest of the nations are much more uncertain. The Western puppet
regimes of Egypt and certain other countries are likely to be overthrown by
devout Muslim groups who will view us as their sworn enemy.
If negotiations fail with a country all frozen assets of that particular country
will be expropriated by the appropriate EF nation unless equivalent resources
can be swapped as they are sure to do the same. Any remaining infrastructure in
that particular country will be considered lost and subsequently will be bombed
by EF fighter jets. The country in question will be considered hostile and as
all official and industrial connections now are cut, will be completely
isolated.
Any isolated countries can be used as a collective mass dumping ground for
deported individuals (see “militarily securing dumping sites/ports temporarily
in Muslim countries” in another chapter).
It is likely that the other international block the USASSR/ with remaining EUSSR
countries (depending on how strong they are at this point) will attempt to
sabotage any agreement by pressuring the Muslim nations (concessions in return
for military protection). The US might threaten with military attacks if we
attack any Muslim nation. We should consider putting our Anatolia/Middle Eastern
crusader campaign on hold until this block (USASSR/EUSSR) has imploded. This
might take a few more decades but will happen eventually. However, what we
cannot halt is our deportation campaigns (which will involve the securing of
ports in order to safely transport the Muslims). The USASSR/EUSSR block will
have no choice but to accept this as the alternative would be genocides,
something everyone should contribute to prevent.
The new “conservative order” should (once consolidations of Western and/or
Eastern European cultural conservative military tribunals have been established)
prepare for mass deportations of all Muslims living in Europe. The first step
will be the construction of huge transit zones.
Deportation should be completed in two stages
1.
Deportation of all Western European Muslims.
2.
Deportation of all Eastern European Muslims.
It’s important to create a different strategy for both stages as most Muslims in
Eastern Europe have lived there for several centuries (a majority who are even
ethnic European - Bosniaks and Albanians). As such, they will not accept being
deported from Europe and will fight for their survival. A more long term and
brutal military strategy must therefore be applied.
Creating major transit zones
Transit zones are safe and heavily guarded areas (barrack cities) where Muslims
will be placed awaiting deportation. Transit zones should be built close to a
sea port and/or railway line (depending on which transportation method will be
used for the deportation.
It is essential that each area is fenced in with barb wire and armed guards.
Creating transit zones (in regards to mass deportations).
-
Transit zone 1 – Coast of France
-
Transit zone 2 – Coast of England
-
Transit zone 3 - Coast of Spain
-
Transit zone 4 - Coast of Italy
-
Transit zone 5 - Coast of Albania
-
Transit zone 6 - Coast of Greece
In addition, smaller transit zones may be created on other locations.
Albania should be declared as the official Muslim transit zone for the Balkans.

European territorial claims (primary claims):
1. The Serbian territory - Kosovo
All Muslims (primarily Albanians) will be deported to the nearest transit area
(Albania) awaiting deportation from Europe. Kosovo will be reunified with Serbia
once again.
2. The Serbian/Croatian territory currently known as Bosnia Herzegovina
Bosnia Herzegovina will be divided in a Serbian (60-70%) and Croatian (30-40%)
part divided after historical ethnic lines. All Muslim individuals (Bosniaks and
Albanians) will be deported to the nearest transit area (Albania) awaiting
deportation from Europe. See ”Graz
agreement”[1]. Map indications are not precise as I was unable to find the
Graz agreement maps.

3. The Greek/Croatian/Serbian territory currently known as Albania
Suggestion: Albania will be divided in a Greek (20%), Monte Negro (20%) and a
Christian Albanian part (60%). All Muslim Albanians will be deported to central
Anatolia.
4. The Greek-Cypriot territory currently known as Northern Cyprus (Turkey)
All Muslims will be deported to central Anatolia. Northern and Southern Cyprus
will be reunified under Christian Greek rule once again.
Middle Eastern territorial claims (secondary claims):
Muslim nations, with their appalling lack of education, manufacturing
infrastructure and modern technology (especially involving instruments of war)
will be hard pressed to confront a world united to stop Islamic expansion,
especially if their one source of economic power, oil, loses its primacy.
5. The Greek territory currently known as Western Anatolia (Turkey)
All Muslims will be deported to central Anatolia. Western Anatolia will be
reunified with Greece once again.
The territorial claims involves territory in Northern Epirus, Thrace (including
Constantinople and ofc Agia Sophia), the islands of Imbros (Gökçeada) and
Tenedos (Bozcaada), and parts of western Anatolia around the city of Smyrna to
name a few areas. These areas (and many more) contained sizable ethnic Greek
populations.
See map of Christian European claims presented by Mr. Eleftherios Venizelos at
the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. It’s worth noting that the western Allies,
particularly British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, had promised Greece
territorial gains at the expense of the Ottoman Empire if Greece entered the war
on the Allied side (which it did).

acknowledges partial Greek territorial demands in Anatolia.

7. Re-establish Christian Lebanon
Restore Lebanon as a Christian nation (deporting all Muslims). Maronite
Christians in the north, other Christians in the south.
8. Establishing of a Christian Coptic nation (NE Egypt).
9. Establishing of a Christian Assyrian nation.
The Assyrian Christian people
(known as Assyrians,
Syriacs,
Syrian Christians,
Syriac Christians,
Suroye/Suryoye and other
variants, see names of Syriac Christians) are an ethnic group whose origins lie
in the Fertile Crescent, their homeland today being divided between Northern
Iraq, Syria, Western Iran, and Turkey's Southeastern Anatolia. Most of the
Christian Assyrians have been forcibly converted, many have been killed in
numerous Jihadi genocides and pogroms the last centuries. Many have migrated to
the Caucasus, North America and Europe during the past century.
Assyrian/Syriacs Christians in Syria are a significant minority that lives in
the north and northeast (al-Qamishli, al-Hasakah) and number around 700,000.
Their numbers have been boosted by many Iraqi refugees since the Iraq War.
Middle East countries with significant populations:
Homeland
Iraq 150 000-830 000
Syria 52 000-735 000
Iran 10 500-103 000
Turkey 4 000-70 000

10. Establishing a Romani Nation (gypsies)
A Nation of Rom should be established for European gypsies. Gypsies (Originally
Indian Hindus) where enslaved prisoners of war and most of them were taken
through Hindu Kush as the Islamic military campaigns progressed through Sindh
(Currently Pakistan) year 800-1900. The Ottoman Caliphate kept hundreds of
thousands of Hindu slaves which were instrumental in the military campaigns
against Eastern Europe.
There are approximately 5 million Rom around the world today.

11. Israel (the Gaza strip, the West bank and Jerusalem)
- Assist Israel in deporting all Muslim Syrians (also referred to as
“Palestinians”) from the Gaza strip, the West bank and Jerusalem. These
territories will be included in Israel. However, Jerusalem will come under joint
Christian-Jewish administration.
- Demolish the abomination known as the Al-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock
in Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple of Salomon – the Third Temple
as described in the Book of Ezekiel, chapters 40-42.
The Third Temple will become a place of worship for both Jews and Christians.
The Dome of the Rock is regarded as occupying the actual space where the Temple
once stood.
- Jerusalem will once again become a city shared by Christians (50%) and Jews
(50%).

12. Creating an African strategy (tertiary claims)
Assist our Christian African brothers, especially in Kenya, Sudan, Nigeria
(Biafra), Cote d'Ivoire, Togo, Liberia, Ethiopia, Angola and Eritrea against the
ongoing Jihads.
Emphasis should be put on reversing historical Jihadi demographical warfare.
- Create a Christian nation of Sudan.
In Sudan, the stated objective of the ruling regime is to Arabise and Islamise
the African Christian and Animist population of the south. Particularly since
1992, the Sudanese government has been waging a military campaign aimed at
dispersing, enslaving, and subduing the southern Blacks. There are ongoing
Jihadi Genocides being waged against Sudanese Christians and animists and
smaller Jihads in other African countries.
A complete Africa strategy will have to be drawn up once we have completed our
primary and secondary territorial claims.
13. Create a Zoroastrian State in the Middle East (Northern Iran)
Sources:
1.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrianism
Several issues will have to be clarified before initiating a campaign of this
magnitude. A thorough military and logistical strategy will have to be
developed.
Campaign one
– reconquista of Europe (West/East)
1.
Western European countries
2.
Balkans
When a large part of Western Europe (and the Balkans) is liberated from cultural
Marxism, wait for the rest of the nations to join the alliance. The US will
implode eventually and no measures should be taken (depending on several
factors) against Turkey and the liberation of our Middle Eastern Christian
cousins before the US civil war P2 or P3 starts.
The US government will do EVERYTHING to prevent Europe from forming the European
Federation with Russia, as it would mean the end for the US as the world’s
primary cultural and military superpower.
Also, before engaging Turkey or any Middle Eastern country the most important
thing is to launch a military campaign against Pakistan taking their nuclear
capabilities away from them. If this is not done they will surely transfer the
technology to Turkey and other Muslim countries. No Muslim countries will be
allowed to have nuclear weapons! This is the most important principle. It may
come to a situation where we will be forced to delay our Anatolia campaign for
up to a few decades, in order to prevent an armed confrontation with the US. The
US is in a process of rapid cultural and cohesional disintegration so a window
of opportunity will eventually arise. We should strive to include the new
nationalistic minded leadership of the US in to the European Federation after
the multiculturalists have lost power.
Campaign two
– secondary claims (Cyprus, Anatolia)
A military campaign should be launched against Turkey with the goal of
liberating Greek Western Anatolia, Northern Cyprus and Armenian Eastern
Anatolia.
Biological and chemical attacks might prove useful as it will leave the
infrastructure intact.
The US will use threats and will perhaps attempt to militarily defend Turkey,
Kosovo, Bosnia Herzegovina, Lebanon or Syria.
Which countries will the Muslims be deported to and can we expect the target
countries to cooperate?
It is unlikely that any destination points (Muslim) will willingly cooperate to
accept millions of Muslims. Creative methods will need to be used for the large
scale voluntary or involuntary population transfer.
Transportation
Transport by cruise ships may be one option. Creating naval convoys escorted by
the military.
Target destination
One solution would be to secure destination areas in each country. Securing a
port in each country and creating a temporary transit zone which will be guarded
by a military presence.
There are around 12 million Christian Assyrians, Copts, Maronites and other
Christian Orthodox/Catholic minorities who currently live under harsh
Dhimmitude. Our objective is to offer them citizenship in the new Christian
nations.
Measures must be taken to evacuate these people in one or several safe zones
(after we secure them militarily). The first one will be Christian Lebanon (with
half of the territory given to the Christian Maronites). The goal should be to
annex new territories creating three new nations (See map):
1.
Consolidate Christian Lebanon
2.
Establishment of a Christian Coptic nation (NE Egypt).
3.
Establishment of a Christian Assyrian nation.
4.
Establishment of a Romani Nation
Size of the annexed nations will be based on the size of the populations.
This will be an extremely difficult transition though as it is likely that
Muslim countries/groups will initiate Jihadi pogroms and genocides as soon as
Europe start with deportations. Many massacres of Christians is the most likely
outcome as it is very unlikely that these vulnerable minorities will flee or
evacuate before it is too late.
As soon as Europe starts to deport Muslims; Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Saudi and
the rest of the Muslim World will declare war against Israel, Armenia and all
Christian minorities in the Middle East with the intention of wiping them out.
It’s therefore important that all Christians in the Middle East are evacuated in
the coming decades (phase 1 and 2). One option would be that they seek
transitory refuge in Europe, Israel or Armenia while we start to liberate
Lebanon.
Creation of temporary transit safe-zones in Western Anatolia, Lebanon and
Albania?
When the Muslim populations have been expelled from Europe, we will have rather
large unpopulated areas in Albania, Western Anatolia and Lebanon with the
capacity to offer a permanent home (territory) to several Christian minorities.
There will be large areas in Albania which perhaps can be the temporary home of
some of these minorities depending on how the annexing of Middle Eastern
territories transpires (the creation of a Coptic, Assyrian and Romani Nation).
Israel might also serve as a temporary safe-zone for Middle Eastern Christians
while we annex the territories.
Obviously, these are my personal views. You can see more suggestions in another
chapter.
-
Militarily prevent Muslim countries/groups from acquiring nuclear weapons or
other large scale WMD’s.
-
Creating a European population strategy, population cap for individual countries
or for Europe/the world as a whole (equivalent to the demographical numbers of
1950). Policies must be created to govern these policies. Consider
re-introducing a ban on abortion, or implementing other incentives for a
sustainable population growth depending on objective (achieving a birth rate of
2,1 f example).
-
Creation of strict constitutional European Monarchies/Republics (administered
democracy). Mass democracy does not work as has been proven. The system will
include cultural conservative principles, defence, immigration policies which
can’t be altered, liberal zones etc.).
-
Development of alternative energy sources, to reduce dependence on oil
-
Strengthen the Church’s influence concerning cultural issues
-
Introduce policies which strengthen the nuclear family (deconstruct Western
European matriarchy structures).
-
Introduce the death penalty (3 strike rule)
-
Drug addicts should be sent to strict “reformation camps”. Hard drug abuse must
not be tolerated (however, marijuana may be permitted in liberal zones). The
essence in fighting addictions is to take the victim away from his negative
environment and giving him/her a meaningful goal/task in life (a majority of
these individuals needs protection against themselves for a certain period). The
current government policy does the exact opposite. Instead of trying to solve
the root causes they act as facilitators for drug abuse by providing the addicts
with government funded drugs. At the moment, Norway is one of the most liberal
countries in regards to catering for drug addicts. At the same time Norway has
the largest proportion of drug addicts (heroin addicts) in Europe.
-
Re-education strategy for Marxists
-
A committee should be created in each country that will research, investigate
and map all compromised institutions and groups (previously under the influence
of
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
policies and ideas).
-
Educational courses (f example 6 month courses) should be created which
highlights “un-falsified” history and cultural conservative topics and presented
to compromised groups. The course will be concluded with an exam in which each
individual will need to pass.
-
A similar exam may be held throughout Europe for all people in non-compromised
groups (3 month course instead of 6).
-
Consider new civilisational goals – from excessive consumerism where the
acquisition of wealth is the driving force in our lives to instead, focus all
our resources to better ourselves and the rest of our citizens scientifically
and technologically/R&D. 20% of national GDP should be allocated to this
purpose.
Christian justification of
the struggle
“Rise up O Lord, and may thy enemies be dispersed and those who hate thee be
driven from thy face. “
Psalm 67, Vulgate (also from Book of Numbers)
In 1095 during the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II declared that he remitted
all penance incurred by anyone (crusaders) who participated in the first
crusade.
The Pope dispenses indulgences from a reservoir of grace tied to martyrs of the
church, those men and women who, by virtue of their suffering, assists in the
intercession for all Christians. In the 12th Century, Pope Innocent III,
expanded the Crusade indulgence to include anyone assisting with such
endeavours.
Indulgences
An indulgence is the full or partial remission of temporal punishment due for
sins which have already been forgiven. The indulgence is usually granted by the
church after the sinner has confessed and received absolution. The exception is
actions committed by those men and women who, by virtue of their suffering,
assists in the intercession for all Christians (participates in Crusades,
activities which involve protection of Christians, Christian interests or
Christendom itself). Indulgences draw on the storehouse of merit acquired by
Jesus' sacrifice and the virtues and penances of the saints and martyrs. They
are granted for specific good works and prayers.
Indulgences replace the shortening of those penances that was allowed at the
intercession of those imprisoned and those awaiting martyrdom for the faith.
Crusading is not just a right, but a duty according to Canon Law
Canon Law,
the ecclesiastical law of the Catholic Church, is a fully developed legal
system, with all the necessary elements: courts, lawyers, judges, a fully
articulated legal code and principles of legal interpretation. The academic
degrees in canon law are the J.C.B. (Juris Canonici Baccalaureatus,
Bachelor of Canon Law, normally taken as a graduate degree), JCL (Juris
Canonici Licentiatus, Licentiate of Canon Law) and the J.C.D. (Juris
Canonici Doctor, Doctor of Canon Law). Because of its specialised nature,
advanced degrees in civil law or theology are normal prerequisites for the study
of canon law.

Indulgences
Can. 992
An indulgence is the remission before God of temporal punishment for sins whose
guilt is already forgiven, which a properly disposed member of the Christian
faithful gains under certain and defined conditions by the assistance of the
Church which as minister of redemption dispenses and applies authoritatively the
treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and the saints.
Can. 993
An indulgence is partial or plenary insofar as it partially or totally frees
from the temporal punishment due to sins.
Can. 994
Any member of the faithful can gain partial or plenary indulgences for oneself
or apply them to the dead by way of suffrage.
Can. 995 §1.
In addition to the supreme authority of the Church, only those to whom this
power is acknowledged in the law or granted by the Roman Pontiff can bestow
indulgences.
§2.
No authority below the Roman Pontiff can entrust the power of granting
indulgences to others unless the Apostolic See has given this expressly to the
person.
Can. 996 §1.
To be capable of gaining indulgences, a person must be baptised, not
excommunicated, and in the state of grace at least at the end of the prescribed
works.
§2.
To gain indulgences, however, a capable subject must have at least the general
intention of acquiring them and must fulfil the enjoined works in the
established time and the proper method, according to the tenor of the grant.
Can. 997
As regards the granting and use of indulgences, the other prescripts contained
in the special laws of the Church must also be observed.
Other popes who called for a Crusade
Pope Nicholas V ordered an immediate counter-attack after the fall of
Constantinople in 1453. As Pope Pius II, the same Aeneas Silvius declared a
crusade in 1459 for the recapture of Constantinople, but any genuine enthusiasm
that existed was short-lived, and a crusade never came into effect.
Unofficial crusades (not sanctioned by the Pope)
The most recent ”unofficial Crusade” were Russian military defensive campaigns
against the Ottoman Caliphate in the 19th century which resulted in a Russian
victory. However, hadn’t it been for Disraeli Britain’s defence of the Muslims
(see Congress of Berlin), Constantinople would have been brought back to
Christian hands.
Entertaining ideas of launching defensive crusader campaigns to take back former
Christian territories has become politically incorrect in the Western world
after Turkey emerged with a so called ”secular republic constitution”. This,
despite the fact that they have continued their Jihadi pogroms against Christian
minorities until this very day.

Would Pope Benedict XVI take the initiative for launching a new crusade?
Not likely. The closest Pope Benedict has come to anything controversial was his
statement in a lecture delivered on September 12th 2006. Pope
Benedict XVI quoted from a dialogue that occurred in 1391 between Manuel II
Palaiologos[1], the Byzantine Emperor, and a Persian scholar and recorded in a
book by Manuel II (Dialogue 7 of Twenty-six Dialogues with a Persian) in which
the Emperor stated:
“Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things
only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he
preached.”
Many Muslims were offended by what was perceived as a denigration of Muhammad,
and many reacted violently. Several churches were burned and many Christians
were killed in multiple locations in the Middle East (including a nun). In his
book, Manuel II then continues, saying:
“God is not pleased by blood - and not acting reasonably is contrary to God's
nature. Faith is born of the soul, not the body. Whoever would lead someone to
faith needs the ability to speak well and to reason properly, without violence
and threats... To convince a reasonable soul, one does not need a strong arm, or
weapons of any kind, or any other means of threatening a person with death...”
As a result of this controversy the Pope had to indirectly apologise and has
since that time not tried to do anything of significance to prevent the ongoing
Global Jihad against Christians or the ongoing Islamic colonisation of Europe.
As such, Pope Benedict has abandoned Christianity and all Christian Europeans
and is to be considered a cowardly, incompetent, corrupt and illegitimate Pope
much like his most recent predecessors;
John XXIII (1958-1963), Paul VI (1963-1978),
John Paul I (1978),
John Paul II (1978-2005). If
Pope Benedict had any shred of integrity he would at least attempt to contact
all European senior and junior military officers and ask them to inintialise
coups against the given multiculturalist European regimes and contribute to
repell Islam from Europe for a third time. Pope Benedict, as his most recent
predecessors, have failed to identify multiculturalism as an anti-European hate
ideology championed as an instrument for unilaterally dismantling European
Christendom. As of now, no Pope have even attempted to reach out to all European
military leaders and demand action against the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
elites who have implemented given ideology. Pope Benedict has a responsibility
to act against the deliberate and systematical annihilation of European
Christendom. Yet he has not even tried to do anything of significance.
When we, the cultural conservatives of Europe seize power in approximately 5-7
decades, we will take the necessary steps to eradicate the corruption which is
continuing to plague the Church (both the Catholic and Protestant church). We
must ensure that we have Christian leaders who believe in; self defence,
protection of Eastern Christendom and the protection of Christians worldwide.

Many Christians claim that acts of self-defence are unbiblical, unscriptural and
ungodly. However, they are un-doubtfully wrong.
The Bible couldn't be clearer on the right, even the duty; we have as Christians
to self-defence.
Let's start in the Old Testament.
Exodus 22:2"If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there
shall no blood be shed for him,"
we are told in Exodus 22:2. The next verse says,
"If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be bloodshed for him; for he should
make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft."
In other words, it was perfectly OK to kill a thief breaking into your house.
That's the ultimate expression of self-defence. It doesn't matter whether the
thief is threatening your life or not. You have the right to protect your home,
your family and your property, the Bible says.
The Israelites were expected to have their own personal weapons. Every man would
be summoned to arms when the nation confronted an enemy. The people defended
themselves.
Samuel 25:13:
”David said to his men, "Each of you gird on his sword." So each man girded on
his sword. And David also girded on his sword, and about four hundred men went
up behind David while two hundred stayed with the baggage.”
Every man had a sword and every man picked it up when it was required.
Judges 5:8:
"They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear
seen among forty thousand in Israel?"
Reminds us of what happens to a foolish nation that chooses to disarm. The
answer to the rhetorical question is clear: No. The people had rebelled against
God and put away their weapons of self-defence.
Psalms 144:1:
"Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers
to fight,"
Clearly, this is not a pacifist God we serve. It's God who teaches our hands to
war and our fingers to fight. Over and over again throughout the Old Testament,
His people are commanded to fight with the best weapons available to them at
that time.
And what were those weapons? Swords.
They didn't have firearms, but they had side-arms. In fact, in the New
Testament, Jesus commanded His disciples to buy them and equip them.
Luke 22:36:
"Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and
likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy
one."
Matthew 26:52-54:
"Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they
that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now
pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of
angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?"
If you read those verses in context they support the position of self-defence.
Jesus told Peter he would be committing suicide to choose a fight in this
situation, as well as undermining God's plan to allow Jesus' death on the cross
and resurrection.
Jesus told Peter to put his sword in its place – at his side. He didn't say
throw it away. After all, He had just ordered the disciples to arm themselves.
The reason for the arms was obviously to protect the lives of the disciples, not
the life of the Son of God. What Jesus was saying was: "Peter, this is not the
right time for a fight."
In the context of cultural conservative Europeans current war against the
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elites and the ongoing Islamic invasion
through Islamic demographic warfare against Europe, every military action
against our enemies is considered self defence. There will be much suffering and
destruction but eventually we will succeed and may be able to start rebuilding.
We should recall Nehemiah, who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem.
Nehemiah 4:17-18:
"Those who were rebuilding the wall and those who carried burdens took their
load with one hand doing the work and the other holding a weapon”. ”As for the
builders, each wore his sword girded at his side as he built,…”
More information about Christianity and self-defence
There are many passages that talk about war and violence that God approves of,
such as David slaying Goliath (1 Samuel 17). Not to mention the fact that God
commanded the Israelites to completely destroy everyone and everything in the
Promised Land!
As with many questions in our lives, self-defence has to do with wisdom,
understanding, and tact. For instance, in the Luke 22 passage stated above,
Jesus does tell his disciples to get a sword. Jesus knew that now was the time
when Jesus would be threatened (and later killed) and his followers would be
threatened as well. Jesus was giving approval of the fact that one has the right
to self-defence. Now just a few verses later we see Jesus being arrested and
Peter takes a sword and cuts off someone’s ear. Jesus rebukes him for that act.
Why? Peter was trying to stop something that Jesus had been telling His
disciples was in fact going to happen. In other words, Peter was acting unwisely
in the situation. He was trying to stop something that was not supposed to be
stopped. We must be wise as to when to fight and when not to.
Exodus 22 does show quite a bit about God’s attitude towards self-defence. "If a
thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not
guilty of bloodshed; but if it happens after sunrise, he is guilty of bloodshed.
A thief must certainly make restitution, but if he has nothing, he must be sold
to pay for his theft” (Exodus 22:2-3). Obviously here we see that when a thief
breaks into someone’s house at night and that person defends his home and slays
the thief, God does not hold that death over the defender’s head. However, God
does not wish for anyone to take law into his or her own hands. This is why it
is said that if a thief is struck down during the daylight the defender is
guilty of bloodshed. Now this is speaking of thievery, not an attack. So if the
thief were to attack the defender even during the day, self-defence would be
justified.
Battle verses
"Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." (James
4:7)
"If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them ... you
shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. I will give
peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid; I will
rid the land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go through your land.
You will chase your enemies, and they
shall fall by the sword before you. Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a
hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the
sword before you." (Leviticus 26:3)
God will anoint you with his power to go into battle
If you are operating under a full surrender with God the Father, and walking in
all of God's ways and staying out of any serious sins and transgressions against
Him - then the next thing you will need to fully realise is that God will now
anoint you with His power if you are forced to go into battle with your enemy.
The Bible tells us that we are now all good soldiers of Jesus Christ. Whether we
want to face up to it or not, we are all living in a war zone as a result of the
curse of Adam and Eve that is still in full operation on this earth. Anyone of
us at anytime can come under human or demonic attack. The daily news will prove
that to you without any shadow of a doubt.
Each Christian must now make their own personal decision on all of this. You can
either choose to learn how to rise up in the power of your Lord and Saviour and
learn how to become a true warrior in the Lord, or you can continue to keep your
head in the sand and oppressor after oppressor keep beating you down. The choice
is yours.
The following verses will show you that God can anoint you with His power to
defeat any enemy that may come your way - but you first have to be willing to
step into that anointing, and then be willing to take your enemy head on before
God will release His anointing through you to be able to defeat that enemy.
Again, study these verses very carefully - as they will show you the incredible
supernatural power that God can channel through you if you would be willing to
step into and walk with His anointing.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and their righteousness is from me," says the Lord. (Isaiah 54:17)
"...
but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits."
(Daniel 11:32)
"For
the kingdom of God is not in word but in power."
(1 Corinthians 4:20)
"Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all
perseverance,
in signs and wonders and mighty deeds."
(2 Corinthians 12:12)
Blessed be the Lord my Rock,
who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle
- my lovingkindness and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield
and the One in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me." (Psalm
144:1)
"It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect. He
makes
my feet like the feet of deer, and sets me on high places. He teaches my hands
to make war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze
... I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; neither did I turn back again
till they were destroyed. I have wounded them, so that they were not able to
rise; they have fallen under my feet.
For You have armed me with strength for the battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me." (Psalm 18:32,37)
God can anoint you with His supernatural power to defeat any enemy that may come
your way - but only if you are willing to step into it and not be afraid to
directly engage with whatever storm cloud is getting ready to come your way.
Notice the first verse tells you that you can have God's power and authority to
trample over "all" the power of the
enemy - not just against some or part of his power. This means you can have
God's anointing and power operating in you to come out completely victorious
against any enemy that may attempt to come against you.
God will give you his strength, boldness and courage to walk with his anointing
All of the above Scripture verses are definitely telling you that God can anoint
you with His power whenever that power is going to be needed to take on any kind
of enemy or challenge. However, there is one more thing that you are going to
need before God will release His power through you. And that one more thing is
the mental strength, courage and boldness to step out with His power to use it
to directly engage with your enemy.
If you are not willing to step out and flow and operate with God's anointing for
whatever you are going to need it for - then absolutely nothing is going to
happen. If you are not willing to speak out to any enemy that may be trying to
attack you - then God's power will not come into the situation to blow them out
of there, and they will thus stay right where they are at continuing to attack
you.
As you will see when reading some of our own personal testimonies - nothing was
happening in all of these adverse situations until that person was ready and
willing to step out of his boat with some mental confidence, courage and
boldness to face and take their enemies head on.
"If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small."
(Proverbs 24:10)
The verse is telling you that if you faint in the day of any kind of adversity,
that your strength will be considered small in the eyes of God.
In other words, God is telling you that He does not want you to be a wimp - and
He is expecting each and every one of us to learn how to war against any enemy
or challenge that could come our way operating under His authority, power and
anointing to be able to do so. This is why we are all called to be soldiers of
Jesus Christ, not just a select few.
God will go before you to fight your battles
Sometimes God will simply run a protective shield around you where nothing can
get through to attack you. Other times something will start to slip through to
come directly against you - and then God will move ahead of you to take it out.
This is where God will literally take your enemy head on and do battle with it.
Sometimes God will fight the actual battle through you - other times He will
simply tell you to hold your ground and position and do absolutely nothing - and
then He will move Himself to completely take out the attack coming against you.
This is where God shows you how powerful and how awesome He really is when He
moves into battle to personally protect you.
Again, these next set of verses are extremely powerful as all of the other ones
listed above. Notice the very intense language God is using when these verses
describe Him moving into actual battle for you.
These first two verses are specifically telling us that God can be a
Man of War if He needs to be and
that He can actually be stirred up to go into battle for you if He has to.
"The
Lord is a man of war;
the Lord is His name ... Your Right Hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power;
Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces.
And in the greatness of Your excellence you have overthrown those who rose
against You; You sent forth Your wrath which consumed them like stubble."
(Exodus 15:3,6)
"The
Lord shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up His zeal like a man of
war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He shall prevail against His enemies."
(Isaiah 42:13)
"For you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight;
for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard."
(Isaiah 52:12)
"Therefore understand today the Lord your God is
He who goes before you as a consuming fire. He will destroy them and bring them
down before you;
so you shall drive them out and destroy them quickly, as the Lord has said to
you." (Deuteronomy 9:3)
"The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms;
He will thrust out the enemy from before you, and will say, 'Destroy!'
" (Deuteronomy 33:27)
"I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you ..."
(Genesis 12:3)
"Plead my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me;
fight against those who fight against me.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help. Also draw out the
spear, and stop those who pursue me. Say to my soul, "I am your salvation."
(Psalm 35:1)
"When my enemies turn back,
they shall fall and perish at your presence.
For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in
righteousness." (Psalm 9:3)
"God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day. If He does not
turn back,
He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready. He also prepares
for Himself instruments of death; He makes His arrows into fiery shafts."
(Psalm 7:11)
"He
will guard the feet of His saints,
but the wicked shall be silent in darkness.
For by strength no man shall prevail. The adversaries of the Lord shall be
broken in pieces; from heaven He will thunder against them.
The Lord will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to His king,
and exalt the horn of His anointed. (1 Samuel 2:9)
"... For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against
us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You ... Then the Spirit of
the Lord came upon Jahaziel ... thus says the Lord to you:
'Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle
is not yours, but God's ... You will not need to fight in this battle. Position
yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord,
who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!" Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go
out against them, for the Lord is with you." (2 Chronicles 20:12-17)
"Behold, all those who were incensed against you shall be ashamed and disgraced;
they shall be as nothing, and
those who strive with you shall perish. You shall seek them and not find them -
those who contend with you. Those who war against you shall be as nothing, as a
nonexistent thing. For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying
to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.'
" (Isaiah 41:11)
"You marched through the land in indignation; You trampled the nations in anger.
You went forth for the salvation of Your people, for salvation with Your
anointed.
You struck the head from the house of the wicked."
(Habakkuk 3:12)
Other verses:
"The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers
them." (Psalm 34:7)
"For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways."
(Psalm 91:11)
"And let the angel of the Lord chase him ... And let the angel of the Lord
pursue them ... Let the destruction come upon him unexpectedly." (Psalm 35:5-8)
"Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into
the place which I have prepared." (Exodus 23:20)
"Then the Lord commanded the angel, and he returned his sword to its sheath ...
but David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid of the
sword of the angel of the Lord." (1 Chronicles 21:27, 29)
"And it came to pass on a certain night that the angel of the Lord went out, and
killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and
when the people arose early in the morning, there were the corpses - all dead."
(2 Kings 19:35)
"Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory
to God. And he was eaten by worms and died." (Acts 12:23)
The last verse shows that sometimes angels can literally appear to you as a
normal human being, usually for the purpose of helping you out with something.
There are countless testimonies from people who have been helped out by angels
in a moment of crisis - and then all of sudden they are gone as quick as they
came.
We must obey God rather than men"
(Acts 5:29)
Whenever a human command goes against God's command, we are to obey God.
And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one."
(Luke 22:36)
This passage allows for the use of fighting in self-defence.
All who draw the sword will die by the sword"
(Matthew 26:52)
To use the sword (or any other weapon) carries the greatest responsibility, and
it can indeed be used in self-defence. That is the way I see to balance Luke
22:36 and Matthew 26:52.

Written by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux[1] between 1128 and 46, translation:
Conrad Greenia
Bernard of Clairvaux was born in 1090 in
Fontaine-lès-Dijon, France, and died August 20, 1153 in Clairvaux, France.
In the year 1128, Bernard assisted at the Council of Troyes, at which he traced
the outlines of the Rule of the Knights Templar, who soon became the ideal of
Christian nobility. He later praised them in his "De Laude Novae Militiae”.
He was essential in the propagation for the first and second Crusade and a
supporter and ally of Pope Innocent II.
He is venerated in the Roman Catholic Church, Anglican Church and the Lutheran
Church. He was canonized on January 18, 1174, Rome by Pope Alexander III. Pope
Pius VIII bestowed upon him the title of "Doctor of the Church."
Note: The following passage is taken from a treatise written in the early 12th
century by the Cistercian abbot Bernard of Clairvaux, on behalf of the fledgling
Knights Templar. It might be viewed as a combination of exhortation to the
Knights, and advertisement to the population in general. Officially it is an
answer to a letter written to Bernard by his friend Hugh de Payens, one of the
founders of the Templars.
These first sections deal directly with the Knights Templar and are of great
importance to students of the early military orders. The remaining sections deal
allegorically with holy sites in Palestine, and are equally interesting, if less
directly relevant to the foundation of the Templars. The full text, along with
comprehensive notes, may be found in The Cistercian Fathers Series: Number
Nineteen, The Works of Bernard of Clairvaux: Volume Seven, Treatises III,
translated by Conrad Greenia, Cistercian Publications, Kalamazoo, Mich., 1977.
Prologue
TO HUGH, KNIGHT OF CHRIST AND MASTER OF CHRIST'S MILITIA: BERNARD, IN NAME ONLY,
ABBOT OF CLAIRVAUS, WISHES THAT HE MIGHT FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, MY DEAR HUGH, you have asked me not once or twice, but
three times to write a few words of exhortation for you and your comrades. You
say that if I am not permitted to wield the lance, at least I might direct my
pen against the tyrannical foe, and that this moral, rather than material
support of mine will be of no small help to you. I have put you off now for
quite some time, not that I disdain your request, but rather lest I be blamed
for taking it lightly and hastily. I feared I might botch a task which could be
better done by a more qualified hand, and which would perhaps remain, because of
me, just as necessary and all the more difficult.
Having waited thus for quite some time to no purpose, I have now done what I
could, lest my inability should be mistaken for unwillingness. It is for the
reader to judge the result. If some perhaps find my work unsatisfactory or short
of the mark, I shall be nonetheless content, since I have not failed to give you
my best.
A word of Exhortation for the Knights of the Temple (chapter 1)
IT SEEMS THAT A NEW KNIGHTHOOD has recently appeared on the earth, and precisely
in that part of it which the Orient from on high visited in the flesh. As he
then troubled the princes of darkness in the strength of his mighty hand, so
there he now wipes out their followers, the children of disbelief, scattering
them by the hands of his mighty ones. Even now he brings about the redemption of
his people raising up again a horn of salvation for us in the house of his
servant David.
This is, I say, a new kind of knighthood and one unknown to the ages gone by. It
ceaselessly wages a twofold war both against flesh and blood and against a
spiritual army of evil in the heavens. When someone strongly resists a foe in
the flesh, relying solely on the strength of the flesh, I would hardly remark
it, since this is common enough. And when war is waged by spiritual strength
against vices or demons, this, too, is nothing remarkable, praiseworthy as it
is, for the world is full of monks. But when the one sees a man powerfully
girding himself with both swords and nobly marking his belt, who would not
consider it worthy of all wonder, the more so since it has been hitherto
unknown? He is truly a fearless knight and secure on every side, for his soul is
protected by the armour of faith just as his body is protected by armour of
steel. He is thus doubly armed and need fear neither demons nor men. Not that he
fears death--no, he desires it. Why should he fear to live or fear to die when
for him to live is Christ, and to die is gain? Gladly and faithfully he stands
for Christ, but he would prefer to be dissolved and to be with Christ, by far
the better thing.
Go forth confidently then, you knights, and repel the foes of the cross of
Christ with a stalwart heart. Know that neither death nor life can separate you
from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ, and in every peril repeat,
"Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's." What a glory to return
in victory from such a battle! How blessed to die there as a martyr! Rejoice,
brave athlete, if you live and conquer in the Lord; but glory and exult even
more if you die and join your Lord. Life indeed is a fruitful thing and victory
is glorious, but a holy death is more important than either. If they are blessed
who die in the Lord, how much more are they who die for the Lord!
To be sure, precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his holy ones,
whether they die in battle or in bed, but death in battle is more precious as it
is the more glorious. How secure is life when the conscience is unsullied! How
secure, I say, is life when death is anticipated without fear; or rather when it
is desired with feeling and embraced with reverence! How holy and secure this
knighthood and how entirely free of the double risk run by those men who fight
not for Christ! Whenever you go forth, O worldly warrior, you must fear lest the
bodily death of your foe should mean your own spiritual death, or lest perhaps
your body and soul together should be slain by him.
Indeed, danger or victory for a Christian depends on the dispositions of his
heart and not on the fortunes of war. If he fights for a good reason, the issue
of his fight can never be evil; and likewise the results can never be considered
good if the reason were evil and the intentions perverse. If you happen to be
killed while you are seeking only to kill another, you die a murderer. If you
succeed, and by your will to overcome and to conquer you perchance kill a man,
you live a murderer. Now it will not do to be a murderer, living or dead,
victorious or vanquished. What an unhappy victory--to have conquered a man while
yielding to vice, and to indulge in an empty glory at his fall when wrath and
pride have gotten the better of you!
But what of those who kill neither in the heat of revenge nor in the swelling of
pride, but simply in order to save themselves? Even this sort of victory I would
not call good, since bodily death is really a lesser evil than spiritual death.
The soul need not die when the body does. No, it is the soul which sins that
shall die.
On worldly Knighthood (chapter 2)
WHAT, THEN IS THE END OR FRUIT of this worldly knighthood, or rather knavery, as
I should call it? What if not the mortal sin of the victor and the eternal death
of the vanquished? Well then, let me borrow a word from the Apostle and exhort
him who plows, to plow in hope, and him who threshes, to do so in view of some
fruit.
What then, O knights, is this monstrous error and what this unbearable urge
which bids you fight with such pomp and labor, and all to no purpose except
death and sin? You cover your horses with silk, and plume your armour with I
know not what sort of rags; you paint your shields and your saddles; you adorn
your bits and spurs with gold and silver and precious stones, and then in all
this glory you rush to your ruin with fearful wrath and fearless folly. Are
these the trappings of a warrior or are they not rather the trinkets of a woman?
Do you think the swords of your foes will be turned back by your gold, spare
your jewels or be unable to pierce your silks?
As you yourselves have often certainly experienced, a warrior especially needs
these three things--he must guard his person with strength, shrewdness and care;
he must be free in his movements, and he must be quick to draw his sword. Then
why do you blind yourselves with effeminate locks and trip yourselves up with
long and full tunics, burying your tender, delicate hands in big cumbersome
sleeves? Above all, there is that terrible insecurity of conscience, in spite of
all your armour, since you have dared to undertake such a dangerous business on
such slight and frivolous grounds. What else is the cause of wars and the root
of disputes among you, except unreasonable flashes of anger, the thirst for
empty glory, or the hankering after some earthly possessions? It certainly is
not safe to kill or to be killed for such causes as these.
On the New Knighthood (chapter 3)
BUT THE KNIGHTS OF CHRIST may safely fight the battles of their Lord, fearing
neither sin if they smite the enemy, nor danger at their own death; since to
inflict death or to die for Christ is no sin, but rather, an abundant claim to
glory. In the first case one gains for Christ, and in the second one gains
Christ himself. The Lord freely accepts the death of the foe who has offended
him, and yet more freely gives himself for the consolation of his fallen knight.
The knight of Christ, I say, may strike with confidence and die yet more
confidently, for he serves Christ when he strikes, and serves himself when he
falls. Neither does he bear the sword in vain, for he is God's minister, for the
punishment of evildoers and for the praise of the good. If he kills an evildoer,
he is not a mankiller, but, if I may so put it, a killer of evil. He is
evidently the avenger of Christ towards evildoers and he is rightly considered a
defender of Christians. Should he be killed himself, we know that he has not
perished, but has come safely into port. When he inflicts death it is to
Christ's profit, and when he suffers death, it is for his own gain. The
Christian glories in the death of the Muhammedan (pagan), because Christ is
glorified; while the death of the Christian gives occasion for the King to show
his liberality in the rewarding of his knight. In the one case the just shall
rejoice when he sees justice done, and in the other man shall say, truly there
is a reward for the just; truly it is God who judges the earth.
I do not mean to say that the Muhammedans (pagans) are to be slaughtered when
there is any other way to prevent them from harassing and persecuting the
faithful, but only that it now seems better to destroy them than that the rod of
sinners be lifted over the lot of the just, and the righteous perhaps put forth
their hands unto iniquity.
What then? If it is never permissible for a Christian to strike with the sword,
why did the Savior's precursor bid the soldiers to be content with their pay,
and not rather forbid them to follow this calling? But if it is permitted to all
those so destined by God, as is indeed the case provided they have not embraced
a higher calling, to whom, I ask, may it be allowed more rightly than to those
whose hands and hearts hold for us Sion, the city of our strength?
Thus when the transgressors of divine law have been expelled, the righteous
nation that keeps the truth may enter in security. Certainly it is proper that
the nations who love war should be scattered, that those who trouble us should
be cut off, and that all the workers of iniquity should be dispersed from the
city of the Lord. They busy themselves to carry away the incalculable riches
placed in Jerusalem by the Christian peoples, to profane the holy things and to
possess the sanctuary of God as their heritage. Let both swords of the faithful
fall upon the necks of the foe, in order to destroy every high thing exalting
itself against the knowledge of God, which is the Christian faith, lest the
Gentiles should then say, "Where is their God?"
Once they have been cast out, he shall return to his heritage and to his house,
which aroused his anger in the Gospel, "Behold," he said, "your house is left to
you desolate." He had complained through the Prophet: "I have left my house, I
have forsaken my heritage," and he will fulfill that other prophecy: "The Lord
has ransomed his people and delivered them. They shall come and exult on Mount
Sion, and rejoice in the good things of the Lord."
Rejoice Jerusalem, and recognize now the time in which you are visited! Be glad
and give praise together, wastes of Jerusalem, for the Lord has comforted his
people. He has ransomed Jerusalem. The Lord has bared his holy arm in the sight
of all peoples. O virgin of Israel, you were fallen and there was none to raise
you up. Arise now and shake off the dust, O virgin, captive daughter of Sion.
Arise, I say, and stand on high. See the happiness which comes to you from your
God. You will no longer be referred to as the forsaken one, nor your land any
more termed a wilderness; for the Lord takes his delight in you, and your land
shall be peopled. Raise your eyes, look about you and see; all these are
gathered together and come to you. Here is the help sent to you from the Holy
One! Through them is already fulfilled the ancient promise, "I will make you the
pride of the ages, a joy from generation to generation. You will suck the milk
of the nations and be nourished at the breasts of their sovereignty." And again,
"As a mother consoles her children, so will I console you, and in Jerusalem you
will be comforted."
Do you not see how frequently these ancient witnesses foreshadowed the new
knighthood? Truly, as we have heard, so we have now seen in the city of the Lord
of armies. Of course we must not let these literal fulfillments blind us to the
spiritual meaning of the texts, for we must live in eternal hope in spite of
such temporal realizations of prophetic utterances. Otherwise the tangible would
supplant the intangible, material poverty would threaten spiritual wealth and
present possessions would forestall future fulfillment. Furthermore, the
temporal glory of the earthly city does not eclipse the glory of its heavenly
counterpart, but rather prepares for it, at least so long as we remember that
the one is the figure of the other, and that it is the heavenly one which is our
mother.
On the life style of the Knights of the Temple (chapter 4)
AND NOW AS A MODEL, or at least for the shame of those knights of ours who are
fighting for the devil rather than for God, we will briefly set forth the life
and virtues of these cavaliers of Christ. Let us see how they conduct themselves
at home as well as in battle, how they appear in public, and in what way the
knight of God differs from the knight of the world.
In the first place, discipline is in no way lacking and obedience is never
despised. As Scripture testifies, the undisciplined son shall perish and
rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, to refuse obedience is like the crime of
idolatry. Therefore they come and go at the bidding of their superior. They wear
what he gives them, and do not presume to wear or to eat anything from another
source. Thus they shun every excess in clothing and food and content themselves
with what is necessary. They live as brothers in joyful and sober company,
without wives or children. So that their evangelical perfection will lack
nothing, they dwell united in one family with no personal property whatever,
careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. You may say that
the whole multitude has but one heart and one soul to the point that nobody
follows his own will, but rather seeks to follow the commander.
They never sit in idleness or wander about aimlessly, but on the rare occasions
when they are not on duty, they are always careful to earn their bread by
repairing their worn armour and torn clothing, or simply by setting things to
order. For the rest, they are guided by the common needs and by the orders of
their master.
There is no distinction of persons among them, and deference is shown to merit
rather than to noble blood. They rival one another in mutual consideration, and
they carry one another's burdens, thus fulfilling the law of Christ. No
inappropriate word, idle deed, unrestrained laugh, not even the slightest
whisper or murmur is left uncorrected once it has been detected. They foreswear
dice and chess, and abhor the chase; they take no delight in the ridiculous
cruelty of falconry, as is the custom. As for jesters, magicians, bards,
troubadours and jousters, they despise and reject them as so many vanities and
unsound deceptions. Their hair is worn short, in conformity with the Apostle's
saying, that it is shameful for a man to cultivate flowing locks. Indeed, they
seldom wash and never set their hair--content to appear tousled and dusty,
bearing the marks of the sun and of their armour.
When the battle is at hand, they arm themselves interiorly with faith and
exteriorly with steel rather than decorate themselves with gold, since their
business is to strike fear in the enemy rather than to incite his cupidity. They
seek out horses which are strong and swift, rather than those which are
brilliant and well-plumed, they set their minds on fighting to win rather than
on parading for show. They think not of glory and seek to be formidable rather
than flamboyant. At the same time, they are not quarrelsome, rash, or unduly
hasty, but soberly, prudently and providently drawn up into orderly ranks, as we
read of the fathers. Indeed, the true Israelite is a man of peace, even when he
goes forth to battle.
Once he finds himself in the thick of battle, this knight sets aside his
previous gentleness, as if to say, "Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord; am
I not disgusted with your enemies?" These men at once fall violently upon the
foe, regarding them as so many sheep. No matter how outnumbered they are, they
never regard these as fierce barbarians or as awe-inspiring hordes. Nor do they
presume on their own strength, but trust in the Lord of armies to grant them the
victory. They are mindful of the words of Maccabees, "It is simple enough for a
multitude to be vanquished by a handful. It makes no difference to the God of
heaven whether he grants deliverance by the hands of few or many; for victory in
war is not dependent on a big army, and bravery is the gift of heaven." On
numerous occasions they had seen one man pursue a thousand, and two put ten
thousand to flight.
Thus in a wonderous and unique manner they appear gentler than lambs, yet
fiercer than lions. I do not know if it would be more appropriate to refer to
them as monks or as soldiers, unless perhaps it would be better to recognize
them as being both. Indeed they lack neither monastic meekness nor military
might. What can we say of this, except that this has been done by the Lord, and
it is marvelous in our eyes. These are the picked troops of God, whom he has
recruited from the ends of the earth; the valiant men of Israel chosen to guard
well and faithfully that tomb which is the bed of the true Solomon, each man
sword in hand, and superbly trained to war.
The Temple of Jerusalem (chapter 5)
THEIR QUARTERS indeed are in the very temple of Jerusalem, which is not as vast
as the ancient masterpiece of Solomon, but is no less glorious. Truly all the
magnificence of the first temple lay in perishable gold and silver, in polished
stones and precious woods; whereas all the beauty and gracious charming
adornment of its present counterpart is the religious fervor of its occupants
and by their well-disciplined behavior. In the former, one could contemplate all
sorts of beautiful colors, while in the latter one is able to venerate all sorts
of virtues and good works. Indeed holiness is the fitting ornament for God's
house. One is able to delight there in splendid merits rather than in shining
marble, and to be captivated by pure hearts rather than by gilded paneling.
Of course the facade of this temple is adorned, but with weapons rather than
with jewels, and in place of the ancient golden crowns, its walls are hung round
about with shields. In place of candlesticks, censers and ewers, this house is
well furnished with saddles, bits and lances. By all these signs our knights
clearly show that they are animated by the same zeal for the house of God which
of old passionately inflamed their leader himself when he armed his most holy
hands, not indeed with a sword, but with a whip. Having fashioned this from some
lengths of cord, he entered the temple and ejected the merchants, scattered the
coins of the money changers, and overturned the chairs of the pigeon venders,
considering it most unfitting to defile this house of prayer by such traffic.
Moved therefore by their King's example, his devoted soldiers consider that it
is even more shameful and infinitely more intolerable for a holy place to be
polluted by Muhammedans (pagans) than to be crowded with merchants. Once they
have installed themselves in this holy house with their horses and their
weapons, cleansed it and the other holy places of every un-Christian stain, and
cast out the tyrannical horde, they occupy themselves day and night in both
pious exercises and practical work. They are especially careful to honor the
temple of God with zealous and sincere reverence, offering by their devout
service, not the flesh of animals according to the ancient rites, but true peace
offerings of brotherly love, devoted obedience and voluntary poverty.
These events at Jerusalem have shaken the world. The islands hearken, and the
people from afar give ear. They swarm forth from East and West, as a flood
stream bringing glory to the nations and a rushing river gladdening the city of
God. What could be more profitable and pleasant to behold than seeing such a
multitude coming to reinforce the few? What, if not the twofold joy of seeing
the conversion of these former impious rogues, sacrilegious thieves, murderers,
perjurers and adulterers? A twofold joy and a twofold benefit, since their
countrymen are as glad to be rid of them as their new comrades are to receive
them. Both sides have profited from this exchange, since the latter are
strengthened and the former are now left in peace. Thus Egypt rejoices in their
conversion and departure while Mount Sion rejoices and the daughters of Juda are
glad to acquire these new protectors. The former glory in being delivered from
their hands, while the latter have every reason to expect deliverance by means
of these same hands. The former gladly see their cruel despoilers depart, while
the latter gladly welcome their faithful defenders; so that the one is agreeably
heartened, while the other is profitably abandoned.
This is the revenge which Christ contrives against his enemies, to triumph
powerfully and gloriously over them by their own means. Indeed, it is both a
happy and fitting thing that those who have so long fought against him should at
last fight for him. Thus he recruits his soldiers among his foes, just as he
once turned Saul the persecutor into Paul the preacher. Therefore I am not
surprised that, as our Savior himself has affirmed, the court of heaven takes
more joy in the conversion of one sinner than in the virtues of many just men
who have no need of conversion. Certainly the conversion of so many sinners and
evil doers will now do as much good as their former misdeeds did harm.
Hail then, holy city, sanctified by the Most High for his own tabernacle in
order that such a generation might be saved in and through you! Hail, city of
the great King, source of so many joyous and unheard-of marvels! Hail mistress
of nations and queen of provinces, heritage of patriarchs, mother of apostles
and prophets, source of the faith and glory of the Christian people! If God has
permitted you to be so often besieged, it has only been to furnish brave men an
occasion for valor and immortality.
Hail promised land, source of milk and honey for your ancient inhabitants, now
become the source of healing grace and vital sustenance for the whole earth!
Yes, I say, you are that good and excellent soil which received into its
fruitful depths the heavenly seed from the heart of the eternal Father. What a
rich harvest of martyrs you have produced from that heavenly seed! Your fertile
soil has not failed to furnish splendid examples of every Christian virtue for
the whole earth--some bearing fruit thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a
hundredfold. Therefore those who have seen you are most happily filled with the
great abundance of your sweetness and are well nourished on your munificent
bounty. Everywhere they go they publish the fame of your great goodness and
relate the splendors of your glory to those who have never seen it, proclaiming
the marvels accomplished in you even to the ends of the earth.
Indeed, glorious things are told of you, city of God! Now then we will set forth
something of the delights in which you abound, for the praise and glory of your
name.

European Christendom isn’t just about having a personal relationship with Jesus
or God. It is so much more. Christendom is identity, moral, laws and codexes
which has produced the greatest civilisation the world has ever witnessed.
People better than the contemporary atheists have attempted to abolish
Christendom and failed.
Clinton Richard Dawkins 1941-
Twice divorced, Richard spends his days popularizing the idea that everything,
absolutely everything (including his marriage failures) can be explained through
purely materialistic means. Raised in the Church of England, he decided that the
theory of evolution better explained the universe than his religious
understanding. So, in 1976, Mr. Dawkins wrote a book called, The Selfish Gene,
to show that we are only selfish creatures at best, and the only reason why we
survive so well is because we are actually good at being selfish. Our
selfishness is part of our genetic make-up, and it drives almost everything we
do.
Richard has since written many more books promoting his interpretation of the
mechanics of life, but he has a very clear agenda - to blame God and even the
concept of God for all of man's ills. He seeks to prove that mankind would be so
much better off without any moral anchor, and without any moral judge except
ourselves.
Thomas Paine (1737-1809)
Thomas had a grand vision for society: he was staunchly anti-slavery, and he was
one of the first to advocate a world peace organization and social security for
the poor and elderly. But his radical views on religion would destroy his
success, and by the end of his life, only a handful of people attended his
funeral.
At the end of his life, Paine discovered that his contributions to the American
Revolution had been all but eradicated due to his attack against religious
views. Derided by the public and abandoned by his friends, he died on June 8,
1809 at the age of 72 in New York City.
François Marie Arouet Voltaire (1694-1778)
Voltaire boasted that within one hundred years of his time the Bible would be
non-existent, replaced by his own work.
The Christian physician who attended Voltaire during his last illness said,
"When I compare the death of a righteous man, which is like the close of a
beautiful day, with that of Voltaire, I see the difference between bright,
serene weather and a black thunderstorm. It was my lot that this man should die
under my hands. Often did I tell him the truth. ’Yes, my friend,’ he would often
say to me, ’you are the only one who has given me good advice. Had I but
followed it I would not be in the horrible condition in which I now am. I have
swallowed nothing but smoke. I have intoxicated myself with the incense that
turned my head. You can do nothing for me. Send me a mad doctor! Have compassion
on me-I am mad!’ The physician goes on to say: "I cannot think of it
without shuddering. As soon as he saw that all the means he had employed to
increase his strength had just the opposite effect, death was constantly before
his eyes. From this moment, madness took possession of his soul. He expired
under the torments of the furies." At another time his doctor quoted Voltaire as
saying: "I am abandoned by God and man! I will give you half of what I am worth
if you will give me six months’ life. Then I shall go to hell; and you will go
with me. O Christ! O Jesus Christ!"
Fifty years after his death, the Geneva Bible Society bought the house and
printing press of Voltaire and printed stacks of Bibles in his living room!
Voltaire has become an historical footnote while the Bible continues to increase
in every part of the world.
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)
"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, murderers
of all murderers, console ourselves? That which was the holiest and mightiest of
all that the world has yet possessed has bled to death under our knives. Who
will wipe this blood off us? With what water could we purify ourselves? What
festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent? Is not the
greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we not ourselves become gods
simply to be worthy of it?"
Nietzsche died insane, in an asylum, of syphilis — signing his last letters “the
Crucified One.” He was adored by the Nazis as their semi-official philosopher.
Diocletian (A.D. 303)
The emperor Diocletian began one of the most terrible persecutions of
Christianity in history. One target
of his violence was the Bible itself.
He ordered that every copy of the Bible be confiscated and burned. Only
25 years later, Constantine (the very next emperor of Rome) ordered that 50
copies of the Scriptures be prepared and paid for by the Roman Government.
In spite of Diocletian's efforts, there were plenty of Bibles around to make
more copies and see the world completely turned upside-down!
Karl Marx (1818-1883)
Marx believed that religion could only be abolished when man finally realized
that he had control over the world, and that man would have to take complete
control of the economy of the world. This was the foundation of Communism. And
the ultimate goal of economic control (Communism), was the abolition of
religious belief. Karl knew that all religion had to go, because he knew that
Christianity, and Judaism both instilled the rights of private ownership, and
self-protection, and individualism, which were completely contrary to Communism.
Carl died never getting to see just
what damnable use his ideas were put to by the likes of Lenin, Stalin and Mao!
Carl would be "proud" of the almost 100 million deaths directly resulting from
his rejection of God's laws!
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)
Freud was raised in a world steeped in religious belief. His home was a small
town (Freiberg, Morovia) where — like so many towns in the nineteenth century in
Eastern Europe — a community of Jews lived among a majority of Catholics. His
interpretation of God was based on the Bible being written by man, not as we
know, dictated by God.
Sigmund died of cancer of the jaw, heart failure, and an overdose of morphine
administered by his doctor (assisted suicide)
Even the most hardened atheist turns to Christ during his final hour
Are we sure there is nothing on the other side? Many men thought there wasn’t an
afterlife until just before they died. Here is a selection of the last words of
well known atheists and sceptics before dying:
“I am as good as without hope, a sad old man gazing into the final chasm.”
Thomas Carlyle
“My principles have poisoned my friend… My extravagance has beggared my boy… My
unkindness has murdered my wife… And is there another hell yet ahead?”
Aldamont, the sceptic
“Until this moment, I thought there was neither God nor hell… Now I know and
feel that there are both, and I am doomed to perdition by the just judgment of
the Almighty…”
Sir Thomas Scott, chancellor of England
“All is dark and doubtfull.”
Edward Gibbon, author
“Oh, my poor soul! What will become of thee? Whither wilt thou go?”
Mazarin, French cardinal
“I am about to take a fearful leap into the dark.”
Thomas Hobbes, political philosopher and sceptic
“I know I am lost forever! Oh, that fire! Oh, the insufferable pangs of hell!”
Sir Francis Newport, sceptic
“I am abandoned by God and man… I shall go to hell.”
Voltaire
“I have been everything, and everything is nothing.”
Severus, Roman Emperor
“I would give worlds if I had them… that the Age of Reason had never been
published. Oh, God, save me; for I am at the edge of hell alone…”
Thomas Paine
There are no atheists in foxholes
I’m not going to pretend I’m a very religious person as that would be a lie.
I’ve always been very pragmatic and influenced by my secular surroundings and
environment. In the past, I remember I used to think;
“Religion is a crutch for weak people. What is the point in believing in a
higher power if you have confidence in yourself!? Pathetic.”
Perhaps this is true for many cases. Religion is a crutch for many weak people
and many embrace religion for self serving reasons as a source for drawing
mental strength (to feed their weak emotional state f example during
illness, death, poverty etc.). Since I am not a hypocrite, I’ll say
directly that this is my agenda as well. However, I have not yet felt the need
to ask God for strength, yet... But I’m pretty sure I will pray to God as I’m
rushing through my city, guns blazing, with 100 armed system protectors pursuing
me with the intention to stop and/or kill. I know there is a 80%+ chance I am
going to die during the operation as I have no intention to surrender to them
until I have completed all three primary objectives AND the bonus mission. When
I initiate (providing I haven’t been apprehended before then), there is a 70%
chance that I will complete the first objective, 40% for the second , 20% for
the third and less than 5% chance that I will be able to complete the bonus
mission. It is likely that I will pray to God for strength at one point during
that operation, as I think most people in that situation would.
I can’t possibly imagine how my state of mind will be during the time of the
operation, though. It will be during a steroid cycle and on top of that; during
an ephedrine rush, which will increase my aggressiveness, physical performance
and mental focus with at least 50-60% but possibly up to 100%. In addition, I
will put my iPod on max volume as a tool to suppress fear if needed. I might
just put Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell on repeat as it is an incredibly powerful
song. The combination of these factors (when added on top of intense training,
simulation, superior armour and weaponry) basically turns you into an extremely
focused and deadly force, a one-man-army.
At the moment, I do not fear death, but I am very concerned about being
afraid on the day of the mission. I’m afraid that the potential fear I might
experience during the mission will paralyze me or will result in me “crapping my
pants” so to speak. Theoretically, this will not happen, as I have grown to be
extremely mentally disciplined and I have undergone numerous hours of training
and simulations. Nevertheless, it is impossible to properly simulate a martyrdom
operation so I am still somewhat concerned for my mental state during that time.
If praying will act as an additional mental boost/soothing it is the pragmatical
thing to do. I guess I will find out... If there is a God I will be allowed to
enter heaven as all other martyrs for the Church in the past.
I am pursuing religion for this very
reason and everyone else should as well, providing it will give you a mental
boost. There is no shame in praying minutes before your death. I highly
recommend that you, prior to the operation, visit a Church and perform the
Eucharist (Holy Communion/The Lord's Supper ). As we know, this ritual
represents the final meal that Jesus Christ shared with his disciples before his
arrest and eventual crucifixion. You should also solve any issues you might have
with God and ask for forgiveness for past sins. Finally, ask him to prepare for
the arrival of a martyr for the Church. A hardened atheist may think this is
silly, but believe me when I say; you will be extremely glad you did as soon as
you realise you may actually die after the initiation of your operation.
Sure, many deny God now. But when they're looking death in the face, when
they're sick or in an accident or staring down the barrel of a gun, they'll
change their mind. They'll beg for God then. There are no atheists in foxholes.
“Thought I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, thou art with me.”
King David
“I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me though he were
dead, yet shall he live.”
Jesus of Nazareth
In
times of extreme stress or fear, such as when participating in warfare or a
martyrdom operation, all people will believe in or hope for a higher power.
Pragmaticists or rationalistic minded individuals who are hardened atheists
should consider the following; it may be pragmatic to believe in an afterlife as
it will make you a more efficient soldier.
The less fearfull a person is the more effective he will be as a warrior.
A person who believes that death is eternal is likely to be more fearful than an
individual who believes in an afterlife. And as we all know; fear is poison in
combat and it will cause confusion and hesitation. A spiritually confident
individual, who does not fear what awaits him, is less likely to fear death and
will therefore act more confidently and professionally in warfare. As such (and
from a pragmatical viewpoint), religion is an essential component in warfare but
ESSENTIAL in martyrdom operations.
A great majority of
people tend to seek out a divine power when they are facing an extreme threat.
It is therefore essential and it is strongly recommended that all Justiciar
Knights (even our Christian agnostic and Christian atheist brothers and sisters)
attend Church before the operation to seek absolution and to request that God
infuses our our soul and our armour of steel with the armour of spiritual
protection and confidence.
"[A Templar Knight] is truly a fearless Knight, and secure on every side, for
his soul is protected by the armour of faith, just as his body is protected by
the armour of steel. He is thus doubly-armed, and need fear neither demons nor
men." Bernard de Clairvaux, c. 1135,
De Laude Novae Militae—In Praise of the New Knighthood
Indulgences
An indulgence is the full or partial remission of temporal punishment due for
sins which have already been forgiven. The indulgence is usually granted by the
church after the sinner has confessed and received absolution. The exception is
actions committed by those men and women who, by virtue of their suffering,
assists in the intercession for all Christians (participates in Crusades,
activities which involve protection of Christians, Christian interests or
Christendom itself). Indulgences draw on the storehouse of merit acquired by
Jesus' sacrifice and the virtues and penances of the saints and martyrs.
Indulgences replace the shortening of those penances that was allowed at the
intercession of those imprisoned and those awaiting martyrdom for the faith.
Pope Urban II and Pope Innocent III granted indulgence to all future Crusaders
The PCCTS, Knights Templars are Destroyers of Marxism and Defenders of
Christendom. We are Crusaders, martyrs of the Church, selfless defenders of the
weak and the blind. We our not only automatically granted access to heaven in
light of our selfless acts; our good deeds and final sacrifice will be added to
the divine storehouse of merit and will therefore help other less virtuos
individuals.
There is normally absolutely no justification or excuse to commit suicide. It is
a shameful, selfish and cowardly act which normally can and should never be
justified. According to the canon laws of the Catholic Church; any individual
who commits suicide will forever burn in hell as suicide is considered the
gravest of sins, similar to that of murder. The definition of suicide by the
Christian faith is explained in the following manner; to commit suicide is to
“throw away Gods most divine gift”, the gift of life. And anyone who willingly
throws this gift away will forever burn in hell without any chance for
redemption.
Then you have other Christian denominations like Protestantism who literally
propagates a view which nullifies the meaning of hell, good deeds, martyrdom and
sainthood altogether. According to Protestant laws (for a majority of
denominations), you will not go to hell regardless of the fact that you have
committed suicide for any imaginable reason. As long as you turn to Jesus before
death occurs, all will be forgiven… Not only have the Protestant views made a
mockery of every Christian historical codex, it has also severely undermined the
practice and glorification of good deeds, martyrdom and sainthood. Who will
willingly walk a saint’s path involving pain, sacrifice and martyrdom if there
is no distinction between a paedophile rapist murderer and Saint George of
Lydda? I usually refer to Protestantism as the Marxism of Christianity. As long
as you ask forgiveness before you die you can literally live a life as the most
despicable character imaginable.
So, in regards to Catholic canon law, the question is; will Justiciar Knights be
rejected in heaven as they martyr themselves for the cause or have to “self
terminate” during or after an operation, for various reasons?
There are several distinctions that have to be made in this regard:
1.
A Justiciar Knight martyring himself for the cause and dies from wounds
inflicted by system protectors (police/regime agents)
2.
A Justiciar Knight martyring himself for the cause and dies non-intentionally
from wounds inflicted by his own actions (explosion etc.)
3.
A Justiciar Knight martyring himself for the cause and dies intentionally from
wounds inflicted by his own actions (explosion etc.) in order to prevent
capture. Capture, by the system protectors working for the multiculturalist
regime, could lead to torture and may result in a scenario where information is
extracted involuntarily leading to the apprehension, and even the murder, of
other Justiciar Knights
4.
A Justiciar Knight self terminates after apprehension to escape torture and
murder/execution
Points 1-3 are considered standard martyrdom deaths, under canon law, which
guarantee an abundance of grace and the entry to heaven. Point 4, however, is
not a clear case of a martyrdom death but must be seen in perspective to the
circumstances. In point 4, a Justiciar Knight would have fulfilled his pact with
God (in which he made during the initiation rite) which will lead to him
acquiring an abundance of grace regardless of outcome of the operation, as long
as he did his best. Because in light of the Knights Templar initiation rite; the
candidate has already forfeited/surrendered his life to God and the struggle for
the preservation of European Christendom. As such, life – God’s gift, has
already been “spent” on the struggle. You cannot “take/kill” something that has
already been voluntarily sacrificed. Therefore, in reference to point 4, God’s
gift of life is not wasted but has instead more or less fully been used in a
manner which pleases God. An individual who receives a life sentence in prison,
as a result of his actions relating to the European Resistance Movement and the
liberation of Western Europe from the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
dictatorships, is not in a position to take away something that has already been
given away. As such, if he chooses
to self terminate (not suicide) for logical reasons, or to prevent torture and
certain death (this is a likely scenario in many Western European prisons as
Muslims dominate a majority of them), it is not considered suicide but will
nevertheless take a toll on the amount of grace already acquired. Because a
perfect man, in Gods eyes, should be willing to withstand inhuman suffering for
the duration of his natural life, if required. However, man is flawed by default
and will often be unwilling to face a lifetime of torture in a multiculturalist
prison, locked up together with Jihadists.
Justiciar Knights and martyrdom
To take an illustration; Saint George of Lydda, perhaps THE most celebrated
saint, martyred himself for the Christian faith, for his country and for his
people. He knew that his action would lead to his death, yet he continued down
that path well knowing what would eventually await him. I guess this illustrates
the primary distinction between suicide and martyrdom. Suicide is a selfish act
while martyrdom is a selfless act. When someone commits suicide, they want their
pain to end and offer few thoughts for his family, friends and his people. When
a Justiciar Knight martyrs himself for the cause he walks down a path well
knowing what is likely to await him. He chooses this path of sacrifice, not for
his own self serving needs, but for his family, friends, his people, his
culture, his nation and for the preservation of Christendom. As such, he is
sacrificing the most divine gift, life itself, in service of others and in
service of God. This is considered to be the most noble and glories act a human
being can ever hope to achieve. This is why such acts of any Justiciar Knight
are directly comparable to that of our guardian saint; Saint George of Lydda,
one of the most celebrated heroes in Christianity.
Any Justiciar Knight, in light of his initiation pledge, has fully committed his
life to our cause. He is therefore standing with one leg thoroughly planted in
heaven already as he has already surrendered his life to God. His remaining
service, regardless of outcome is merely a formality; providing he does the best
he can to benefit the cause.
A Justiciar Knight for the Knights Templar, who for tactical reasons, chose to
self terminate during or after an operation is not considered to have “thrown
God’s gift away” as he is a martyr for the Church. He has sacrificed his freedom
and his life to secure the existence of his family, friends, his people, country
and the European Church and has such contributed to prevent European Christendom
from being gradually deconstructed by the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
regimes of Western Europe.
As God knows everything, he is well aware of the intentions and deeds of every
Justiciar Knight. Therefore, to self terminate for strategic or logical reasons
(to prevent information extraction by the enemy which will lead to the
apprehension of other Justiciar Knights), is not considered suicide but an
extension of the sacrifice made to our cause. As such, this final act of
sacrifice is added to the amount of good deeds and grace generated by the
individual.
Future considerations for possible veneration of Justiciar Knights
A Justiciar Knight who martyrs himself for the cause, and/or self terminates
during or after an operation for tactical reasons, should be celebrated as
martyrs for the Church. It is expected that the Catholic Church and other
denominations of Church authorities in Europe (and independent canon law
experts) acknowledges our sacrifices and defines our deeds as acts of martyrdom
for the Church, according to canon law. The Church should not have second
thoughts on the matter as they are fully aware of the fact that European
Christendom is gradually being deconstructed. It is time that the Pope and his
cardinals begin to resist the deliberate deconstruction of European Christendom.
The process would, however, be quite challenging, but worth the effort as all
Justiciar Knights who dies for their faith will be a great source of inspiration
for generations to come. They will be role models. Certain, exceptionally brave
and selfless, Justiciar Knights in the coming decades should even be considered
as candidates for official veneration.
The following interview was conducted over three sessions. It might be
considered irrelevant to many people. However, I decided to add it as I
personally would enjoy reading a similar interview with another resistance
fighter.
The interview covers politics, society and the struggle: the Western European
civil war, the PCCTS, Knights Templar and other armed pan-European and National
Resistance movements. It also covers personal reflectations and information.
Q:
Today, Western Europe has never been
wealthier and an overwhelming majority of Europeans live in prosperity with more
freedoms than they have ever had. Are you afraid that people in general will
view you as the enemy, as a threat to their prosperity and freedoms, as a threat
to stability in Europe?
A:
I can totally understand that most people will condemn people like us simply
because they do not ”yet” understand what is going on. And even if they do
understand our reasons they might disagree with our ”means”, thinking that
democracy can solve this problem as well just like democracy have solved many of
the challenges we have faced in the past. Europeans in general do not live in or
close to Muslim ghettos or enclaves and those that did have chosen to move far
away. The problem is that many people live in denial and are suffering from
historical amnesia. They fail to identify or comprehend what the Western
European governments are doing to Europe. Those that do are hesitant to resist
through violent means.
While it is true that we currently enjoy wealth and many freedoms this will not
be the case in 50 or 100 years. The Muslims in many parts of Europe will make up
the majority within 2080. You must study the case of Lebanon and similar cases
in order to comprehend what is going on. Lebanon was a Christian territory once
with 80% Christians in 1911. Now, in today’s Lebanon, there are less than 25%
Christians left. The Muslims won the war and Europe just let it happen. The
remaining Christians live under harsh Dhimmitude and everyone in their right
mind are attempting to flee the country. To fully understand the situation I
urge everyone to read ” Europe Burning”, book 2 of the compendium: ”2083”. It is
a complete overview of the current European situation and it explains how we,
the free people of Europe have lost any hope of reversing the current
development in Europe democratically. In other words, it explains why armed
resistance is the only option we have left to save Europe from the same fate as
Lebanon.
The people of Western Europe have become slaves in their own countries, because
they have forgotten to pronounce the word ”no”.
It is quite common that large portions of the general population of any Western
European country (uncritical of their government’s indoctrination campaigns)
strongly identify with their monster polity, and take it personally when it's
criticised or attacked. People in general will oppose us as default because they
do not know what we know; their governments have made sure of that.
By marketing and distributing the compendium: 2083, and similar works, we hope
to create more awareness, create reference points and thus contribute to
consolidate and further our cause.
Most people will today openly condemn us as terrorists. However, a hundred years
from now we will be celebrated as pioneers, as heroes who gave their lives
combating a tyrant oppressor.
Q:
Let’s say that the democratic struggle
to save Europe from ”Islamisation/ Islamic demographic warfare” has been lost
and that armed resistance against the current establishment is the right way to
go. How do you expect to seize power from the current Western European cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist regimes knowing that there are only a handful of you
who are willing to die for the cause? Do you really expect to defeat all Western
European governments seeing that they control absolutely everything; the media,
national police forces, intelligence agencies, national militaries and have the
full backing of NATO?
A:
A complete strategy is listed in the book “2083” but I can try to summarise it
for you.
We see the struggle or the current Western European civil war if you will as a
three stage struggle.
-
Phase 1, 2009-2030
-
Phase 2, 2030-2070
-
Phase 3, 2070-2083
Obviously, we are not able to execute any coup d’état or effectively incite to
revolution at this point (in phase 1). This was never the intention either.
Our only objective in this phase is to create awareness about the truth and
contribute to consolidation/recruitment. The establishment of military and
political reference points now will be of huge benefit especially further down
the road.
The media have refused to forward our call the last decades. Instead they have
systematically ridiculed and silenced us, labelling us as intolerant and racist
bigots. Instead of respecting the will of the European people they have
defiantly allowed even more Muslims to enter and defended the current
development. Now they are even considering allowing Turkey into the EU. The only
reason Turkey is not already in the EU is because of the work of the
non-military resistance movements of Europe. The EUSSR elites may be evil but
they are not stupid. They know that they will not get away with including Turkey
at this point because Europeans will simply not accept it. If they allowed the
Turkey to enter today and opened the borders to the Turkish Muslim hordes our
armed resistance groups would experience thousands of new recruits instantly,
ready to militarily secure our borders. The EUSSR elites know that, so they rely
on a few more decades of indoctrination before they will continue with the
process.
By creating reference points with our operations we also force the media to
acknowledge our presence and agenda (which is a great defeat to the
establishment in itself). Our existence and actions are a living proof that they
have made peaceful change impossible and that they have therefore made violent
resistance unavoidable. We are sending a potent message to the European cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist elites; we are telling them that we know what they have
done and what they continue to do, we are watching them and they will be
punished for their crimes. We are coming for them. If not today then tomorrow.
cultural Marxists/multiculturalists in Oslo may be the target today, but
cultural Marxists in London, Paris, Berlin, Brussels, Milan or Madrid will be
the target tomorrow. This war has just begun and we have no intention of acting
prematurely. We know that time is on our side.
Unfortunately, spectacular operations like these are the only way to be heard.
Everything else we have tried has failed and yielded nothing. The Muslims showed
us that deadly shock attacks are the only tool we have at the moment which will
guarantee that our voice is heard. By forcing them to acknowledge our presence
and explaining our agenda to everyone we are making it very hard for the
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist media establishment to ignore the call of the
free people of Europe. The message is simple: “WE DO NOT WANT AND WILL NOT
TOLERATE ISLAM IN EUROPE!” Any individual or organisation that actively supports
or are participating (directly or indirectly as silent bystanders) in the
Islamisation of Europe are flagged as valid targets, starting with the MA 100
political parties and media organisations themselves.
We have tried protest through dialogue for 50 years now and that approach has
been a disaster for us. The phase of dialogue has now ended. The PCCTS is a part
of that manifestation. We will act as exemplary role models for our less
organised brothers and sisters across Europe in the decades to come.
The defeat of the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist network of Europe is closely
linked with the Islamisation of Europe.
It’s quite ironic that their downfall will be their own greed (the wish to
import more and more Muslim voters). Eventually, the political support for the
EU’s Eurabia project/European multiculturalism/Islamisation will erode but not
before it’s too late. Our phase 1 strategy is a simple strategy of repeated
pin-pricks and bleedings that, though small in proportion to the total force
strength, sap the will of the current EU regimes to continue the fight or at
least will force them to open their eyes to reality earlier (and identify the
Islamisation of Europe as a threat to all Europeans).
There are no effective counter-measures against our phase 1 strategy. It is the
most efficient way of modern warfare. We are going to win this war eventually no
matter how they chose to act. If they comply with all our demands (and deport
all Muslims from Europe) we will win. If they don’t, then Islam will bring us to
power in phase 3 (2070-2083) when the Muslims reach 50%. At this point, the
peoples of Europe will scream for any group or individual who can come and solve
their problems…
As long as the threat of Islam increases annually in Europe with Muslim
populations increasing with more than 1 million per year, increased
ghettofication in combination with Muslim atrocities against Europeans –
harassment, robberies, rapes and murders), there will be an increasing amount of
willing recruits for conservative and/or for the European anti-Jihad movements
and even die-hard organisations like the Knights Templar.
As long as the threat of Islam and dhimmitude increases in Europe we will see
more and more indigenous liberation organisations like the Knights Templar. Even
if we use brutal methods we will continue to retain all of our strategic
advantages of mobility, invisibility, and legitimacy, in our own eyes and in the
eyes of a good portion of the people.
Q:
Some will claim that you are Christian fanatics, just as hateful and intolerant
as Al Qaeda. How would you react to accusations like that?
A:
The PCCTS, Knights Templar is a European indigenous rights movement and a
Crusader movement (anti-Jihad movement), a part of the pan-European and national
resistance movement. In a way it is a conservative revolutionary movement.
By propagating and defending Christendom we simply mean that we want to halt the
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist attacks and systematic deconstruction on our
Christian cultures and the Church itself and to reverse the de-Christianisation
of Europe. The biggest threat to Europe is the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
political doctrine of ”extreme egalitarian emotionalism”. This type of political
stance involves destroying Christendom, the Church, our European cultures and
identities and opening up our borders to Islamic colonisation. The Islamisation
of Europe is merely a ”secondary infection”. Western Europe has grown weak and
decadent and will be completely annihilated culturally unless we succeed to
implement a second European renaissance and reverse the damage done.
History has shown again and again that you cannot co-exist peacefully with
Islam. The only thing you can do is to isolate it as our forefathers have done
for the last 1400 years.
Jihadi Islamists are imperialistic aggressors who believe in armed global Jihad
with the purpose of aggressively (or through Dawah) conquer the world and will
not give up until all individuals have embraced Islam. We share none of these
goals.
We on the other hand are a defensive military organisation who only seek to
protect the peoples of Europe and our cultures from genocide. In order for us to
effectively protect ourselves from Islam and Islamisation we must first defeat
the Western European multiculturalist regimes who are facilitating the ongoing
colonisation.
Q: If you were to coin a word for the ideology or movement you represent, what
would it be?
A:
Cultural conservatism or a nationalist/conservative direction known as the
Vienna school of thought. As for the political movement; I would describe it as
a National Resistance Movement, an Indigenous Rights Movement or perhaps a
Conservative Revolutionary Movement.
Justiciar Knights are not an ideologically homogenous group. Many Justiciar
Knight Commanders would probably reject some of my personal views as I would
with theirs. Some are deeply Christian while some are Christian agnostics or
even atheists. Some are individualists while others not so much so, some
puritans. The primary factors that unites us is that we are all nationalists,
anti-Marxist, anti-Islam(isation), we support indigenous rights and we are
revolutionary, willing to martyr ourselves.
Q:
Why aren’t you for freedom of religion where all religions are allowed to
practice equally without hindering one another?
A:
I think most people are. The trouble is, of course, that Islam by its very
definition falls outside this category since it's a supremacist political
ideology FIRST which SECONDLY has certain religious components.
Q: Why do you say you’re not fascists when you support the suspension of the
constitution during a coup?
A:
That’s a good question. First of all, the current multiculturalist regimes of
Western Europe are not at all democratic, They haven’t been democratic since the
1950s. There is no basis for democracy when all state institutions including
schools, universities deliberately use advanced brainwashing techniques (as
described earlier) to condition the people from resisting their own annihilation
through the implementation of cultural Marxism/multiculturalist doctrines.
Furthermore, there is no basis for democracy when 99% of all journalists support
and propagate multiculturalism. There is no basis for democracy when all
patriots and nationalists are ignored, ridiculed or persecuted. Factors such as
these and many more have resulted in the Marxist tyranny we live under today.
The political and cultural elites are deliberately selling their own people into
Islamic slavery by allowing demographical warfare.
As Thomas Jefferson once stated;
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.”
He also wrote:
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is
the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new
Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organising its powers
in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and
Happiness. [...] It is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
Refreshing the tree is now long overdue as our countries are in a rapid state of
disintegration. Our intention is to refresh the tree of liberty, and obviously
not to cut it down. Refreshing the tree of liberty involves a coup supported by
a significant portion of European patriots. Many of us will have to sacrifice
our life for the cause in order to destroy the tyrants of our time. It is
impossible to guarantee a democratically sanctioned coup as we have to keep in
mind that Europeans have been brainwashed now for two generations. Many will
oppose us for our stance and call us fascist. Nevertheless, it is essential to
acknowledge and understand that we are not.
All coups involve the temporary suspension of the constitution. Thomas Jefferson
himself knew that. However, the goal of the coup is as I said not to chop down
the tree of liberty but to refresh it.
A fascist opposes the democratical concept altogether and wants a permanent one
party state, while we do NOT want this. In order to secure democracy we are
forced to imbue and strengthen it from its current downward spiral towards the
abyss. This can only be achieved through a temporary suspension of the
constitution.
The constitution will only be suspended for a limited time, until we have had
the opportunity to implement at least some of our principles. These principles
can’t even be openly discussed at this point in time due to the paralyzing
effects of political correctness.
After a certain period, the constitution and the rule of democracy will again
become the primary standard. However, the dysfunctional mass-democracy will be
replaced by an administered form of democracy similar to that of Russia. This is
obviously to ensure that Marxists will never again get the chance to infiltrate
state or media bodies. You can read more about our solutions in another chapter
of this compendium.
In any case, we oppose all ideological principles that propagate or suggest a
one party ruling form. And as such, we are anti-fascists by definition unlike
the current multiculturalist regimes.
Q: Some people will claim that you are just another Nazi fascist disguised with
anti-Muslim rhetoric. Is that true?
A:
That is ridiculous Marxist propaganda. If that was true, then why am I working
on a weekly basis with fellow Indian, Jewish, Chilean intellectuals to preserve
true, long term democracy, to ensure that the will of the people is respected?
Why do we champion Israel’s cause when no one else is? Why do we propagate a
military campaign, a military Crusade to assist our eastern Christians brothers
– the Semitic Copts, Maronites, Assyrians? Why would we do this when they are
not even considered “white”?
The old definitions do not apply anymore. The current internationalist elites
(cultural Marxists, suicidal humanists, globalists) are the Nazis of our age and
deliberately collaborating with the Muslims. They are the Quislings who are
trying to transfer political powers from our sovereign nations to a foreign
political entity – the EUSSR/UN. Their intention is to deconstruct everything
European so we will become neutralised minorities in our own countries. They
expect us to willingly become easily manipulated pawns in their globalised
Marxist/globalist utopia.
This is not even a struggle between capitalists and socialists, it is a cultural
war between nationalists and internationalists. I consider myself to be a
supporter of the capitalistic system, although not globalist capitalism (where
international corporations dictate much of the doctrines). A free market within
our own economic block is essential but our own survival is the most important
thing. To my left you will find a socialist, to my right you will find a social
democrat. We are all willing to sacrifice our life for each other as
nationalists/cultural conservatives because we believe in our common cause. To
secure the survival of everything European by preventing the ongoing cultural
and demographic genocide.
Q: Considering the fact that you may be willing to fight alongside so called
neo-Nazis against cultural Marxists under extreme circumstances, doesn’t that
make you a neo-Nazi or a neo-Nazi sympathiser?
A:
First of all, I don’t consider 70-80% of so called neo-Nazis to be actual Nazis,
but rather misguided individuals. I believe many of these youngsters have made
an unfortunate mistake by being drawn to the Nazi symbols due to lack of
alternatives and because it is the strongest and most well known anti-Marxist
banner. But I don’t believe the majority of so called neo-Nazis really support
the slaughtering and genocide of all Jews, a one party state and an
imperialistic policy of conquest. I believe they are just bewildered
nationalists in search for uniting factors. In their frustration they have
chosen the most despicable banner available as a way of saying a big “fuck you”
to the current establishment. But I am well aware that 20-30% of them really
hates Jews and support most aspects of national-socialism. This shouldn’t be
tolerated and we shouldn’t sympathise with them whatsoever. Driven by their Jew
hate, these Nazis are willing to take side with Muslims in order to accomplish
their goals. They are absolutely blinded by this hate.
As for your question;
During WW2, the allied powers (Western Europe and the US) fought together with
the Soviets to defeat Nazi Germany. Did that make the allied powers communists
or communist sympathisers? And during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, the
Americans cooperated with Muslim fundamentalists. Did that make the Americans
Jihadists or Jihadi sympathisers? The Chinese nationalists and communists
cooperated against the Japanese occupational power during WW2. Did that make the
nationalists – communist sympathizers?
In war, you will see many alliances between ideologically opposing factions. You
will rarely win a war without seeking a broad alliance. When your peoples are
facing cultural and demographical genocide you are prepared to stretch far in
order to prevent this from happening. This is the fundamental logic of war.
Also, we haven’t forgotten what the Nazis did to the non-NS conservatives in the
“Conservative Revolutionary Movement”[1]. They executed many of them. We will
not make that mistake again. This is one other reason why non-NS conservatives
will never trust National Socialists. We know that they will try to wipe us out
as soon as the cultural Marxists, the suicidal humanists and the capitalist
globalists have been defeated and after the Muslims have been deported from
Europe.
Let it be perfectly clear. The PCCTS, Knights Templar oppose National Socialism
and we do not seek cooperation with them. We see National Socialism as a
hate-ideology as it is genocidal and imperialistic in nature. However, we don’t
have many potential allies. As rational creatures we will go to great lengths to
prevent our own demise and secure our success.

Q: What political denominations/groups will eventually flag support for the
European nationalist/cultural conservative groups?
A:
Nationalists or anti-internationalists adhere to many ideological denominations.
In essence, all patriots (by the true definition if its meaning) are
nationalists but not all traditionalists are necessarily nationalistic (f
example some Christian fundamentalists and ethnocentric groups). The word
“nationalist” has been tainted by history so I prefer the word “cultural
conservative”. Cultural conservatism has obviously nothing to do with Toryism
(traditional conservatism) but rather from the words true meaning: to conserve.
A majority of Tories and Republicans are no longer “conservatives” as they
support multiculturalism.
You will find most political denominations on our side varying from the
apolitical moderate patriotic and freedom loving European to more extreme
factions:
Patriotic liberalists-libertarians-capitalists-socialists-social democrats,
Christian agnostics-atheists-fundamentalists, any anti-internationalist
conservative, liberal/progressive, conservative Hindus-Jews-Buddhists,
anti-authoritarians, anti-racists, racists, anti-fascists/fascists,
traditionalists and even some national socialists and nationalist Bolsheviks. I
find it quite ironic that an increasing number of anti-internationalist Marxists
join our side. We also see some Muslims convert to Christianity and begin to
support our cause.
The ongoing cultural war will polarise societies and countries further and there
will be two main factions. The nationalists/conservatives (cultural
conservatives) vs. the internationalists (Marxist internationalists, suicidal
humanists and capitalist globalists). The apolitical career cynisists will
follow anyone in charge. Our biggest strength (despite of seemingly overwhelming
odds at the moment) is that we have approximately 13 million nationalists spread
across Europe willing to die for the cause while only a fraction is willing to
die for “internationalism”. Of course, the internationalists may eventually
attempt to arm the Muslims in Western Europe but if it comes to that they have
already lost. They will lose the support of all remaining non-Muslims and will
be left with only a hardcore Marxist elite with a significantly reduces
loyalist/Muslim police/military force. At this point in time, a majority of the
former police force/military will fight by our side.
At the moment, approximately 60% of Europeans (excluding Muslims) support our
fundamental political doctrines but obviously not necessarily the means.
However, the most important distinction here is the male/female ratio of our
sympathisers. Approximately 70% of European males support our cause while only
30% of European women. As a consequence, when this is all over we must
significantly reduce these women’s influence on political issues relating to
national security, social structures, penal policies, border control,
immigration, assimilation, certain cultural issues – national cohesion and
procreation (birth) policies. This is perhaps the most important lesson we must
learn, the betrayal by so many of our own women. It is not really a betrayal as
a majority of our women only thinks and acts in accordance with how nature
created them – in a suicidal compassionate manner. But it is essential that we
prevent our women from propagating their suicidal compassion in “safe and more
controlled environments” in the future. Sure, this is sexist policies but nature
itself is sexist and you cannot defy primary natural laws. This rule will not be
without exceptions though and we should keep in mind that 30% of European women
do support us.
Q: If your National government had been very restrictive in regards to
conserving identity, culture and halted Islamic immigration completely would you
still have engaged in operations against them?
A:
If my country was on the forefront for ”delaying” Islamisation it would
obviously be counter-productive to launch attacks against that particular regime
first. Norway is perhaps the most suicidal of all Western European countries
today. We are on the forefront in the propagation of ”self-annihilation”
policies such as dialogue and appeasement toward Islam. The country has also
created a tradition to use the Nobel Peace Prize as a tool for Islamic
appeasement efforts. I have no moral reservations whatsoever against
participating or leading military operations against Norwegian Category A and B
traitors as it is the most basic of human rights to defend your people against
genocide.
Denmark, being stricter than many countries, will still be unable to prevent the
Islamic demographic warfare through democratic means but at least they are
buying some extra time by implementing relatively strict rules.
Q: “Racist, Nazi, Fascist, Homophobe, Islamophobe”
How do you react to the “cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist”
labelling techniques, or psychological warfare if you will?
A:
These are typical EUSSR cultural Marxist/multiculturalist labelling techniques.
According to them, anyone who attempts to criticise multiculturalism are
racists, intolerant bigots, angry, underprivileged males etc.
The thinking seems to be that there are only two versions of Europeans. If you
do not support multiculturalism 100% you are a Nazi. You’re also a fascist pig,
a racist, a homophobe – in other words a sub-human. This attitude betrays an
all-pervasive hatred that demonises absolutely anything Europeans do to protect
their dignity, culture and heritage. Multiculturalism is an anti-European hate
ideology. As such, they are the Nazis of our time, not us.
I consider myself to be an anti-racist, anti-fascist and anti-Nazi. That’s the
main reason why I oppose Cultural Communism/European multiculturalism. THEY are
the Nazis, they are the fascists and they are the racists! I have witnessed much
racism in my time but 90% of it has been against Europeans. I have actually
never been called a racist, fascist or Nazi before personally but I know it is
the preferable tactic of the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist establishment to
silence the masses.
We are not National Socialists, in fact, we oppose National Socialists.
About the perceived anti-Gay mentality
The multiculturalists WANT us to fit in their pre-defined stereotype. They want
us to be racists, fascist, gay hating individuals because it would make their
job so much easier in their effort to label us as the scum of the earth. The
truth of the matter is that I personally know several gay individuals and have
known several gay people during the years and I don’t have any reservations
against them. Why would I care what they do behind closed doors?
However, I personally do object to the “gay media hysteria” which has been going
on in Western Europe the last two decades. In many cases “alleged victim groups”
are subjected to positive discrimination within politics, media and certain
sectors. In those specific contexts it has become standard policy to
discriminate so called “heterosexual men”. Western European media, especially in
the protestant countries are obsessed with cheering the gay community and other
minorities they see as “preferred groups” in their so called “victim hierarchy”.
The glorification of “preferred groups” in the EUSSR “victim hierarchy” have
gone too far. It’s racist and fascist.
Q: Why do you think it has come to this?
A:
To quote Fjordman;
“Multiculturalists in Western Europe has gradually become fanatical egalitarian,
the fight against “discrimination” of any kind,
the idea that all groups of people should have an equal share of everything and
that it is the state’s responsibility to ensure that this takes place.
Multiculturalists have cultivated a culture of victimhood in the West, where you
gain political power and media attention through your status in the victim
hierarchy. In many ways, this is what Political Correctness is all about. “
Needless to say I couldn’t agree more. The extreme egalitarianism you see in NW
Europe today has developed into a crusade against everything and everyone who
does not conform to the
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
world view. According to the Nazis of our time; the multiculturalists: if you do
not support multiculturalism you are considered human garbage and the
persecution of human garbage is allowed and even encouraged.
Q:
Why sacrifice your own life for something that might not end up as you project?
And why would you be willing to sacrifice your life for others?
Why don’t you just chose the easy way,
live the easy life, conform and enjoy all benefits of modern society offered
under the current regimes?
A:
This is exactly what my family and friends have implored me to do for years now.
They have pressured me and I must admit I have been somewhat ridden by guilt in
this regard. At the same time I know what has to be done. I could never ignore
the current situation without doing anything. In this regard I felt I had two
choices. Create a large family (3-5 children) or completely focus on my tasks as
a part of the European resistance movement. I don’t understand why so many
people can simply ignore the current situation without doing anything. How can
they look their kids in the eyes in the future knowing that they have done
nothing? How can they even act so suicidal and continue to vote for political
parties who support multiculturalism? Their children are the ones who will have
to fight in the coming civil war against the Islamist/cultural
Marxist alliance. They will ask their
parents; “why didn’t you do anything, how could you allow this to happen?” They
are the ones who have to fight and perhaps die in Phase 3 because my generation
(and my parents generation) didn’t have the guts to stop the current
development. It’s not right. I feel a strong obligation to contribute in Phase 1
even if I succumb in the process. It is essential that as many individuals as
possible contribute even if it just results in creating a small crack in the
discriminating and genocidal multiculturalist system. Every effort counts, even
the smallest contribution!
“It is better to live one day as a lion, then one hundred years as a sheep.”
Most of the people I know are either cowards or apathetic hypocrites. They know
exactly what is going on but many of them don’t care at all, because they know
that they will be dead before phase 3. I don’t want to judge them too harshly
considering the fact that I used to be an apathetic hypocrite myself. After all,
we are all victims in a way as we have been indoctrinated for decades by the
multiculturalist system. However, everyone living near a capital or a major
European city is witnessing the current developments. They don’t care because it
doesn’t concern them yet. Standing up for their beliefs will involve suffering.
They are deliberately avoiding that for as long as possible.
It has always been very tempting to just go with the flow, sticking your head in
the sand and deal with problems as they arise. Having passed the age of 30, I’m
now in a situation where I have to decide whether I want to get married and
start a family. I can choose to live a normal life if I want to, just like my
friends are doing. Get a cute girlfriend, get married, have kids, continue my
career and earn 50 000-60 000+ Euro per year. The problem as I see it is that I
truly fear for the future of Europe. How can I procreate knowing that we are
heading for cultural suicide? By being a silent bystander to this I will be as
guilty as our corrupt elites. How could I silently watch while Islamic
demographic warfare is being waged against our societies, diminishing our
numbers and the influence over our very own lives? I feel compelled to act, even
though I know that very few will dare to become one of the pioneers, one of the
first martyrs in Phase 1. There are only two logical steps for people my age;
have as many children as possible and prepare for Phase 2 or 3 or fight now in
Phase 1. I chose the latter.
As for the general public; people don’t care as long as their loved ones are
safe. They have careers with solid salaries; they enjoy all the current
freedoms. Why on earth would they give up on all that and join a resistance
movement? Joining an anti-Jihad movement means becoming a political dissident.
The government and media will attempt to label you as a racist or an intolerant
bigot and use any means necessary to undermine your efforts, you risk losing
your job, you risk losing everything. The core question is, why chose the hard
way, when you have the option of choosing the easy way? Why chose to suffer when
you do not have to?
There are good men and there are individuals who don’t care at all. The person
who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more
important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no
chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than
himself.
I chose selflessness, to resist a tyrant oppressor by all means necessary. I
couldn’t live my life as a cowardly hypocrite, sticking my head in the sand.
Q:
What’s your view on moderate
anti-immigration parties?
A:
Their motives are noble although counter-productive. Anti-immigration parties
usually start out as idealistic but end up as a diluted and corrupt verion of
their former selves. It would be better if they admitted the truth, that the
democratic struggle to save Europe has been lost and the only way to proceed is
by resisting the establishment by other means. In many ways, they are
contributing to pacify the people by giving them false hope.
Even if they are included as a partner in a future government their policies
will end up being too diluted to make any difference. You cannot become the
government unless you bow to the views of the ”Centre-Left” media elite,
especially the broadcast media elite.
They will never get more than 35% of the votes in any election, even in phase 2.
As such, they may be able to delay a Muslim majority by a couple of decades with
strict integration and immigration policies but they will still be unable to
prevent the eventual confrontation.
Q:
Can significant indirect damage against
civilians be justified?
A:
Yes and no. It can be justified in the sense that it is the only pragmatical way
to move forward. When someone blows up a government building it is obviously not
with the intention to kill the cleaning lady or the janitor. The target has been
selected after careful consideration because it will yield the wanted results.
There are extreme and moderate forces. We are all cultural conservatives even
though we use different means. We have taken it upon ourselves to use brute,
cynical force so other people don’t have to. The other political fronts should
welcome it as a necessary evil in order to rid ourselves of a much greater evil.
Innocent people will die, in the thousands. But it is still better than the
alternative; millions of dead Europeans, which is the worst case phase 3
scenario.
Q:
What about atheists and Odinists, can
they join the PCCTS, Knights Templar?
A:
If you want to fight for the cross and die under the “cross of the martyrs” it’s
required that you are a practising Christian, a Christian agnostic or a
Christian atheist (cultural Christian). The cultural factors are more important
than your personal relationship with God, Jesus or the holy spirit. Even
Odinists can fight with us or by our side as brothers in this fight as long as
they accept the founding principles of PCCTS, Knights Templar and agree to fight
under the cross of the martyrs. The essence of our struggle is to defeat the
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist regimes of Western Europe before the we are
completely demographically overwhelmed by Muslims.
I have studied Norse Mythology and have a lot of respect for the Odinist
traditions. I consider myself to be a Christian, but Odinism is still and will
always be an important part of my culture and identity.
Q: Is it likely that Odinists will support the cause of the PCCTS, Knights
Templar, considering the fact that many of them hate Christendom?
A:
First of all, as a Norwegian, I am extremely proud of my Odinistic/Norse
heritage as it is an essential aspect of my culture and my identity. However,
things aren’t black and white. Supporting the Christian cultural heritage does
not automatically mean you hate Odinism or vice versa. There are pragmatical
considerations Odinists have to evaluate as well. Do they really believe the
symbolism of
Mjöllnir (Thors hammer) has the potential to unite the Nordic peoples against
the forces we are facing? Do they really believe Odinistic symbolism would be
more suitable compared to the uniting force of Christendom’s symbolism and that
of the cross? Anyone with half a brain will know that only the symbolism of the
cross (which is a part of all the Nordic flags btw with the exception of
Germany) has the potential to unite us for this cause. Choosing to fight under
the banner of the cross, does not constitute that you have to reject your
Odinistic heritage in any way or form. As for their claim that a Christian
principle of suicidal humanism is a part of the root of our current problems, I
couldn’t agree more. However, instead of abandoning Christendom altogether I
know European Christendom can be reformed. The Church wasn’t always as weak and
suicidal as it is today. The Odinists needs to understand that the Church they
hate is the cultural Marxist Church and not the real Church. The Church I love
doesn’t exist anymore because it has been deconstructed. However, I know that it
can be reformed and that it again will embrace and propagate principles of
strength, honour and self defense. Instead of abandoning the Church we will save
it and re-create it as a nationalistic Church which will tolerate and allow (to
a very large degree) native cultures/heritage/thought systems such as Odinism.
As a cultural Christian, I believe Christendom is essential for cultural
reasons. After all, Christianity is the ONLY cultural platform that can unite
all Europeans, which will be needed in the coming period during the third
expulsion of the Muslims.
Odinism is significant for the Nordic countries but it does not have the potency
to unite us against such a devastating force as Islam, cultural
Marxism/multiculturalism and capitalist globalism. Only Europeans, in solidarity
with each other, can solve our current problems. As for secularism, are there
any strong uniting symbols at all? I think not. In order to protect your culture
you need, at the very minimum, strong, uniting symbols representing your
culture. In this context, the cross is the unrivalled as it is the most potent
European symbol. I have had this discussion with many Odinists, and even they
understand this.
Odinists need not fear us as they should consider us brothers in our common
fight. I strongly encourage them to support us. Because we might not succeed in
our struggle to defeat the EUSSR cultural Marxist/multiculturalist hegemony
without their support.
Q: Do I have to believe in God or Jesus in order to become a Justiciar Knight?
A:
As this is a cultural war, our definition of being a Christian does not
necessarily constitute that you are required to have a personal relationship
with God or Jesus. Being a Christian can mean many things;
-
That you believe in and want to protect Europe’s Christian cultural heritage.
The European cultural heritage, our norms (moral codes and social structures
included), our traditions and our modern political systems are based on
Christianity - Protestantism, Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity and the legacy
of the European enlightenment (reason is the primary source and legitimacy for
authority).
It is not required that you have a personal relationship with God or Jesus in
order to fight for our Christian cultural heritage and the European way. In many
ways, our modern societies and European secularism is a result of European
Christendom and the enlightenment. It is therefore essential to understand the
difference between a “Christian fundamentalist theocracy” (everything we
do not want) and a secular European
society based on our Christian cultural heritage (what we
do want).
So no, you don’t need to have a personal relationship with God or Jesus to fight
for our Christian cultural heritage. It is enough that you are a
Christian-agnostic or a Christian-atheist (an atheist who wants to preserve at
least the basics of the European Christian cultural legacy (Christian holidays,
Christmas and Easter)).
The PCCTS, Knights Templar is therefore not a religious organisation but rather
a Christian “culturalist” military order.
Q: Why haven’t we heard anything about PCCTS, Knights Templar before,
considering the fact that the organization was formed in 2002?
A:
That’s a good question. I am surprised why EU countries haven’t labeled our
organization yet. Perhaps it is politically motivated psychological warfare, who
knows? First of all, I only met 4 out of the 9 original founding members due to
security precautions and I only know the identity of 5 of them (4 of them know
my identity). There might be tens, even hundreds of Justiciar Knights now spread
all across Western Europe as far as I know. I haven’t heard anything from the
media about PCCTS, Knights Templar operations before either which indicates the
following; either some of the original cells have not activated yet, which is
not very likely considering the fact that the military order was formed more
than 8 years ago. Or a couple of the cells may have perished or have been
arrested in the planning phase before they even activated. Or perhaps they did
activate and went through with their operation but did not manage to penetrate
media censorship. A successful operation might have been labeled as an
“accident” or otherwise censored by the media/regime. Perhaps a couple of them
simply didn’t want to proceed alone or in a party with 1-2 other individuals but
needed or wanted the support from a larger traditional hierarchy and joined
another organisation instead. A few might have gotten cold feet and went about
their usual business and abandoned our struggle and campaign altogether. It is
really hard to tell. I do know however that there have been more than a hundred
successful operations from armed nationalist movements in Europe the last
decade. But the main problem is that a great majority of these operations are
not “spectacular” enough to break media censorship. There are too many threats
made and not enough action to make a substantial difference at this point. But
the resistance movements in Europe are continuously growing and evolving. It is
understandable that many organisations will require more time in order to reach
a point where they are actually making an ideological difference. I feel it is
the responsibility of the PCCTS, Knights Templar to contribute to speed up this
process by acting as good role models for all European patriots. It is just a
matter of time before one cell succeeds with a spectacular operation. I estimate
that there are thousands of cells around Western Europe in the planning phase of
an operation while we speak. I don’t worry about it as it is still relatively
early in phase 1 and we have up to 70 years to win this war, before we are
demographically overwhelmed and the systems collapse either way. Another
scenario might be that due to the nature of our extremely decentralised
platform, the original constitution of the concept might have (for a couple of
the co-founders) morphed into different manifestations/interpretations of
resistance movements with slightly different political manifests.
I wonder sometimes if one of the EDL founders was one of the co-founders of
PCCTS, I guess I’ll never know for sure. EDL is a non-violent protest
organisation though but I noticed they have copied a lot from the PCCTS. Then
again, it is most likely just a coincidence. I do think a lot about what
happened to some of the co-founders. It’s pointless to speculate I guess but I
check the news regularly to see if anything has slipped through the media
blackout relating to actions launched by individual resistance fighters or the
European Resistance Organisations. I may or may not have had contact with at
least 2 of these co-founders since the founding. Obviously, I can’t reveal any
sensitive information so the above characteristic might be what I want you to
believe and not the actual truth:-).
Q: How would you argue against criticism from other so called European chivalric
organisations like the Freemasons, the OSMTH and similar?
A:
They claim to be Knights of Christ yet they are not willing to sacrifice their
life for the preservation of European Christendom. They do not even acknowledge
that European Christendom is in the process of being deconstructed. They claim
to be Knights but they are not even warriors. How can they claim to be today’s
manifestation of a pious chivalric order when the core doctrine of the Knights
Templar was to submit to voluntary poverty? All I see is a group of decadent
individuals who are not willing to make any substantial sacrifices for anyone or
anything. Furthermore, Knighthood is directly linked to martyrdom. Taking
martyrdom out of knighthood would be like taking elections out of a democracy. A
person unwilling to martyr himself for a greater cause can never call himself a
Knight and a Christian individual unwilling to martyr himself for the
preservation of European Christendom can never call himself a Knight of Christ.
We, the PCCTS, Knights Templar, can, and we are currently the most genuine
successors to their legacy. It is, however, not our goal to completely mimic the
order. Demanding that our members undergo a theological education would be
pointless as today’s curriculum has been corrupted by Christian pacifists and
suicidal humanists. Furthermore, creating a religious order would be
counter-productive as a majority of Europe’s armed resistance fighters are
agnostics, atheists or relatively secular Christians. The organisation is
therefore considered a moderate Christian identity organisation and not a
religious order.
Anyway, the Freemasons or the OSMTH cannot be compared to the PCCTS, Knights
Templar. Yet, I do respect their role in society. They are fine representatives
and curators (keepers of cultural heritage) and therefore fulfil an essential
role. In fact, we have much to learn from them and are likely to go to them
(their libraries) for research purposes. We salute them for their everyday
efforts but will not accept any criticism from them or similar “so called”
chivalric organisations.
Q:
What do you expect the future Cultural Conservatives intend to do with the
”cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elites” if they manage to seize power?
A:
This really depends on the circumstances, how far it will go before the sitting
regime rejects multiculturalism and real changes are made, or how many native
Europeans will be killed in the process. They have until 2020 to capitulate to
cultural conservative forces. However, I am not naive enough to expect a
surrender. It is a formality in our 100 year struggle. If the expected scenario
transpires (they refuse to surrender and reject all our demands) I would assume
that all
category A and B traitors will be executed and their property expropriated.
Category C traitors (up to 10 000 per million) will receive a fitting punishment
depending on their crime. It may vary from imprisonment to expropriation of
property or losing the right to work in certain positions or professions.
Obviously, many of us reading this will not be alive in phase 3 (2070-2090).
Many unforeseeable factors might occur which is impossible to predict so our
guidelines are exactly that, guidelines.
Q: Why do we lack credible unbiased analysis of the current right wing?
A:
First of all, it is not possible to discuss the ”far right wing” objectively if
you chose to follow modern politically correct narratives. This is the main
reason why there aren’t any meaningful debates about this important topic. The
only ”politically correct” approach to current far right wing movements is to
label them all as ”evil fascists, racists, Nazis, bigots” and move on. Anyone
who tries to scratch the surface and analyse these ideologies further become
suspects themselves and might even be labelled as bigots. Racism is considered
the ”arch sin” in our societies so everyone avoids any analysis around this
topic due to the fear that stigma is attached. As we all know; if you are
labelled as a racist even once you are as good as dead, from a political
viewpoint at least. This is unfortunately the reason why there are no
constructive debates on this important topic. In order to fully analyse the
right wing you need to completely detach yourself from the politically correct
narrative and approach the topic objectively and pragmatically.
I hesitated to include this analysis, mainly because I instinctively dislike
writing about anything related to race, ethnicity and Jew hate. I was brought up
that way and I still suffer many effects of two decades of multiculturalist
indoctrination. Also, I am against the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
alliance and an Islamic presence in Europe, so writing about skin colour would
only be counter-productive. However, we
can’t really ignore NS if we are to make a completely honest evaluation.
Western nations can never mount a defence against the cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist alliance and Islamic demographic warfare unless we
manage to convert the NS over to a more sensible and appealing ideology. The
objective is that all their supporters join our cause. This is why it’s
important to argue against the NS ideology instead of ignoring them.
Q: What do you consider the primary obstacle to Western European right wing
consolidation?
A:
In order to answer that fully you first have to define right wing. What is right
wing? Nationalism, capitalism, individualism, Christian Puritanism, Christendom,
cultural conservatism, racial conservatism or perhaps traditionalism? Some terms
will always be over-lapping. It’s important to understand that the definition of
right wing is constantly changing based on perceived ”threats”. These changes
varies greatly though and does not really apply for more ”constant” beliefs such
as Christian Puritanism, and National Socialism. Personally, I don’t fully
consider NS as a right wing alternative due to its socialist nature.
Nevertheless, let’s review different ”perceived” far right wing directions and
their major traits:
1.
Christian far right wing: anti abortion etc (strict puritan beliefs).
2.
New right: pro-free-market within a greater European block at least, pro Jewish,
anti-Islamisation, anti-multiculturalist, anti-racist.
3.
NS right wing: anti-Jewish, anti-capitalistic, racial conservatives.
a.
All Western governments are ZOG – Zionist Occupied Governments.
b.
The Jews are the cause for the implementation of multiculturalism with all its
modern manifestations. Capitalism is a Jewish invention with the purpose of
enslaving all non-Jews.
c.
The Jews wish to destroy the white race by flooding Europe and the US with
“blacks and Asians”. This has been done by creating and implementing
“multiculturalism”.
4.
Laissez-faire
Capitalism is a globalist concept (no government intervention).
Laissez-faire is often used to
refer to various economic philosophies and political philosophies (liberalism)
which seek to minimise or eliminate government intervention in most or all
aspects of society.
5.
Fascism – one party state, often cultural and racial conservatives. No common
and concise definition exists for fascism and historians and political
scientists disagree on what should be in any concise definition. The term
fascist is used as a pejorative word, a phrase that implies disapproval or
contempt and is meant to be insulting.
The Euro-US divide
However tempting to discuss US nationalism/conservatism, I’m not going to. The
reason is that the fundamental factors vary too much. The European Americans
aren’t the indigenous peoples of the US, the Native Americans are. In addition;
there are more than 60 million Muslims in Western (25-30) + Eastern Europe (35)
while only 9 million in the US.
Also, in my experience, those who disapprove of Israel's right to exist are
either anti-Semites or suffer from very poor judgment. Sensible people should
support Zionism (Israeli nationalism) which is Israel's right to self-defence
against Jihad.
The East-West European divide
If
we include conservatives/nationalists from central or Eastern Europe, the term
“anti-immigration” does not capture the core concerns of these groups. Because
immigration into these countries is very limited, these groups have not
mobilised against immigrants. Rather, they have promoted strong right wing
nationalism based on anti-EU sentiments, as well as anti-Semitism and opposition
towards other ethnic groups, in particular the Roma (gypsies). The exceptions
are Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia, Bulgaria and the Muslim controlled areas known
as Bosnia Herzegovina, Albania and Kosovo. While these countries haven’t
experienced “modern western style” immigration they are very familiar with
Islamic demographic warfare, having witnessed the demographic expansion of
Albanians and Bosniaks for centuries.
Ironically, some of the former Communist countries in Europe enjoy many freedoms
which their Western cousins are lacking. However, this may soon change as they
are forced to accept multiculturalist indoctrination policies by the EU (they
may be forced to embrace and implement the Eurabia project) leading to mass
Muslim immigration in Eastern European countries as well. I really doubt this
will happen though, as many of our Eastern cousins have too many un-falsified
sources of Ottoman tyranny. They will simply reject these particular EU
policies. There are certain policies which are harder to reject than others
though. As we all know, the Muslim dominated UN are pushing hard for all
European countries to accept Muslim asylum seekers.
Now that we have somewhat defined the term “right wing” we can move on.
It’s essential that we, Western Europeans, focus first and foremost on OUR
territories. What works in the US or Eastern Europe will not work here. There
are simply too many different underlying political factors for that. We need one
dominant Western European mainstream ideology specifically “created” for Western
European core issues and needs per 2009-2100. So don’t waste your time trying to
“mimic” US nationalists or chase dead ideologies for that matter!
Q: Are you a holocaust denier?
A:
Assuming of course that you are referring to the Jewish holocaust under Nazi
Germany; no, I have reviewed the evidence, both the evidence presented by the
Allied powers and the anti-holocaust evidence presented by the Axis Powers and
neo-Nazi movements. I don’t find the anti-holocaust evidence credible so I don’t
see a reason why anyone should deny the Jewish holocaust. As far as I have
understood; Nazi Germany didn’t originally want to annihilate the Jews. They
were considering deportation but they didn’t really have any location to deport
them to, and they weren’t offered any location by the allied forces. They didn’t
start massacring the Jews until after they realised that they were losing the
war and the window of opportunity was closing fast (after the failed Russian
invasion in1941). I guess, they used the following logic; they felt they had to
cut out what they viewed as a cancer before they lost the war somewhat like many
Serbs did during the Balkan war. They wanted to deport but as their adversaries
made that impossible they chose the only solution (according to their logic). No
one should try to justify genocide, it is a bad thing that cannot or should not
be excused. There are always other options.
My problem with holocaust denial however is the European cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist elite’s refusal to acknowledge the Christian, Hindu,
Buddhist, Zoroastrian genocides by the hand of the Islamic Ummah. Islam has
systematically slaughtered more than 300 million people since its creation and
this trend is continuing every year (see the continuation of the Assyrian,
Coptic, Maronite, Hindu genocides in the Middle East). The politically correct
elites of the EUSSR/USASSR are the true holocaust deniers as they refuse to
acknowledge current and historical Islamic atrocities.
Furthermore, while I oppose deniers of the Jewish holocaust I realise that the
“holocaust religion” is an extremely destructive force in Europe. Today,
European youths are systematically brainwashed and made into pacifist eunuchs
(school classes being bussed to former concentration camps and taught to reject
their culture, pride etc.). Our elites, backed by the EUSSR/USASSR cultural
hegemony, are stripping away any sense of pride and honor from European youths
in a deliberate scheme to feminise/pacify them in order to prevent future Nazi
movements from emerging. The problem here is that we are left with little to
none cultural defenses against any force which would want to conquer us. This is
why the Islamic Ummah have been taken advantage of our lack of cultural defenses
and are currently colonising us, facilitated by our traitorous cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist elites.
The “holocaust religion” has grown into a destructive anti-European monster,
which prevents nationalistic doctrines from emerging. And without nationalistic
doctrines, Europe will wither and die, which we are seeing today. It’s quite
ironic that Even Israel would appear to have become a victim of it. Needless to
say, while I am a strong supporter of Israel and of all patriotic Jews I
acknowledge that the anti-European holocaust religion must be deconstructed, and
instead replaced with an anti-Islamic version. After all we are talking about a
disproportion of 6 million killed Jews vs. 300 million massacred
Jews/Christians/Hindus/Buddhists/Zoroastrians/Animists.
As of now, the “holocaust religion” is one of the major factors that are making
Europe vulnerable and susceptible for Islamic conquest through demographical
warfare.
European cultural conservatives are today faced with the similar scenario that
our Serb brothers were. Yes, we are going to deport every single Muslim from
Europe, but we must do everything in our power to avoid unnecessary bloodshed as
it would hurt our cause and serve as a catalyst to consolidate our adversaries
and allow them to justify the use of unrestricted military power against us. So
what if our enemies bomb our roads, rail ways and boats, making it impossible to
deport? If we are prevented from deporting we must focus on the real issues and
not do anything short sighted. If we do not have a military or political
advantage we should focus on preserving and strengthening our fragile regime
instead of risking it all by acting prematurely. In that scenario, we should
wait a few years until more countries join our alliance until the day where we
have the required roads, trucks, railroads and boats (and a sufficient military
force to protect ourselves) in order to start deportations.
Q: Why do you consider National Socialism to be a “dead” ideology?
A:
First of all, the reason I’ve made extensive research around the following
fields is because I think it’s time that all Western European NS’s realises the
harm they are causing in regards to right wing consolidation. National Socialism
was designed for Germany after WW1 and it addressed the concerns and needs of
the time (according to them). The ideology was defeated in WW2 but many right
wing individuals still refuse to let it go. By doing so they are effectively
undermining CURRENT concerns and needs of our time. There are currently so many
defensive mechanisms in place in Western European societies against National
Socialism that any attempt to resurrect the ideology will be counter-productive.
The relatively new Anti-Eurabian, Christian cultural conservative stance however
is an ideology specifically designed to resist these defensive mechanisms or
“baits” if you will. The goal of my argumentation is to contribute to remove the
last doubts with the remaining NS’s. Everyone who wants to contribute to save
Europe from cultural genocide should reject National Socialism and instead chose
the Anti-Eurabian, Christian cultural conservative stance. It is a hybrid of
various right wing concepts which has the potential to gain the support of aprox
35% of Europeans.
At the end of the day the goal is all that matters. If you are unable to conform
and adapt to current and modern concepts which has the potential to bring us to
power you will only undermine your own efforts.
It should be noted though that the majority of the individuals who are labelled
as NS today by the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist establishment are not at
all NS and very often opposed to any NS policies. There are, however, NS out
there, some are ideologically confident senior members and many young and
“confused” so called neo-Nazi’s who mimic the older generation NS. This is a
huge challenge that must be addressed.
Deceitfulness is the most basic concept in warfare and in politics
“War is deceit”
Muhammad
Muhammad himself made this statement more than 1000 years ago. Politics is war.
If you are unable to understand this concept then you have already lost. The
Marxists, like the Muslims, are masters of deception.
The Muslims understand this very well and have institutionalised deceit through
the concept of “al-Taqiyya”. The multiculturalists or cultural Marxists have
institutionalised deceit through advanced concepts. They want to destroy Western
Civilisation and the European identities.
Multiculturalism is an anti-Western hate ideology aimed at undermining the
indigenous peoples of Europe and destroying European civilisation and culture.
However, they have created an illusion that the ideology is all about tolerance.
Multiculturalism has never been about tolerance. It is an evil ideology bent on
an entire culture's eradication.
We have to give both the Muslims and the cultural Marxists credit though. I
respect their ingenuity if anything.
They have systematically ideologically coerced/brainwashed two generations of
Europeans in the attempt to modify people’s social and political philosophy and
instilling certain attitudes or beliefs in a person. The aim has been to affect
individual value systems and subsequent thought-patterns and behaviours. And
they have succeeded to a large degree.
This has been done by the use of falsified or biased statistics, falsified or
biased sources, biased/unbalanced coverage, labelling opponents as
bigots/racists/Nazis - using propaganda, manipulation and other forms of
trickery in order to lay the foundation for a new society based on
multiculturalism and emotionalism/extreme egalitarianism. They have therefore
managed to limit opposition/resistance towards themselves and towards
mass-Muslim immigration/Islamic demographic warfare.
As a result we are under the current Islamic invasion/colonisation. In 1955
there were less than 50 000 Muslims in Western Europe. Today there are more than
25 million.
What have the NS movement achieved in this period?
Not as much as they could have, they have spent much of their time defending an
already “exposed” ideology that has no popular support whatsoever. An ideology
which started as a “deceitful” ideology but who has been completely exposed for
what it is. The most popular NS party has received a maximum of 5% support in
any election the last 50 years. I can’t really find the words to describe how
counter-productive the NS ideology is in today’s society. It serves as the
primary catalyst and reason why multiculturalism has been so successful.
I’m going to try to cover many aspects of NS in order to describe why I think
the current NS’s should reject this ideology and support the new Western
European right wing movement (pro-Jewish, anti-Islamic stance).
Economy
There are many flaws with the European free market system but I still think that
our current version is better than all other economic systems. Of course,
there’s a great difference between the US and EU system (even a great variety
between the different European models), I tend to favour a middle way, a
compromise between the US version and the average EU system. The British system
has proven to be sustainable compared to more socialist oriented variants.
Jews
There are only 1 million Jews in Western Europe (800 000 of them in France and
the UK) while there are 5-6 million in the US. So naturally, the American NS
movement is much more obsessed with the Jews than Europeans are. The Jews
influence in EU policymaking is marginal but several right wing groups continue
with this obsession regardless. As a comparison there are 25 million Muslims in
Western Europe, up from
50 000 in 1955. This factor alone proves that the NS ideology is irrelevant and
completely outdated in today’s society. However, the National Socialist still
claim that these 200 000 Jews (in Western Europe with the exception of France
and the UK) are in full control of all governments and are swamping Europe with
people of colour (Muslims included) in order to destroy these three white races
(Nordics, Alpines and Mediterranean’s). This conclusion is incorrect.
Jews in Western Europe
There were slightly more than 1 million Jews living in Western Europe at the
start of 2002. Of these, nearly 80 percent could be found in France and the
United Kingdom, home to Europe's largest and strongest Jewish populations.
The number of Jews in France fell from 535 000 in 1980 to some 500 000 in 2002,
a loss of over 6 percent. The Jewish community is in rapid decline due to
assimilation, intermarriage and low birth rates.
British Jewry fared even worse. There were 430 000 Jews living in Great Britain
in 1950, but just 283 000 in 1996.
"French Jewry will experience a slow but steady decline from 520 000 in 2000, to
480 000 in 2020, to 380 000 in 2050, and 300 000 in 2080." "The Jewish
population in the United Kingdom will decline to 240 000 in 2020, 180 000 in
2050, and 140 000 in 2080."
In smaller Jewish communities in Europe, the retrenchment rates have been even
more pronounced; f example in Ireland, where the 1991 census found there to be 1
581 Jews. Today, the number is said to be approximately 1 000, marking a decline
of over 50 percent in just a decade. In Norway there are only approximately 950
Jews and the number is declining.
Even in countries where the numbers have remained fairly stable, such as Spain
or Italy, or which have experienced growth, such as Germany, it is primarily due
to an influx of immigrants from the former Soviet states, and not because of any
inherent vitality within the local community itself.
So the general tendency in Western Europe is that the Jewish community is
rapidly declining due to assimilation, intermarriage and migration to Israel and
the United States.
So basically, the NS ideology suggests that 950 Jews are controlling the
Norwegian government, a government which is known to be the most anti-Zionist of
all European countries...!? Let’s not forget, 1 000 Jews are controlling Ireland
etc. These NS claims are absolutely ridiculous and counter-productive. Being a
Norwegian myself, I know that these claims are completely false. They have no
credibility whatsoever. The reason why multiculturalism was embraced in Norway
and a majority of Western European countries was because of the cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist alliance, an alliance dominated by indigenous atheist
nationals and not Jews. Same can be said regarding claims against the
Freemasons. According to the NS movement the Freemasons are a Zionist
organisation. Being a Free Mason myself I know that this is not only a false
claim but actually quite ridiculous. The Freemasons is not in any way political
(I wish the organisation was, believe me) and it is true that they have a
positive view on Jews. However, this is from a Christian religious context,
where solidarity to Jews and Israel is important. The Freemasons is a Christian
only organisation and no Muslim or Jew could become a member even if they wanted
to. There are no political bodies within the organisation nationally or
internationally.
Jews in the world
Most estimates I have seen suggest that there are about 13-14 million Jews in
the world. The vast majority of these Jews live in either the United States or
Israel, each with approximately 5-6 million Jews. There are less than 2 million
Jews in Europe combined (Western Europe totals 1 million), 400 000 in Latin
America and 350 000 in Canada. In Africa, there are less than 100 000 Jews,
about 90% of whom live in the country of South Africa. There are about 100,000
Jews in Australia and New Zealand combined. There are about 50 000 Jews in Asia
(not including Israel).
Jewish upbringing and the capitalistic system
Steven L. Pease writes:
“Jews make up 0.2 percent of the world population, but 54 percent of the world
chess champions, 27 percent of the Nobel physics laureates and 31 percent of the
medicine laureates. Jews make up 2 percent of the U.S. population, but 21
percent of the Ivy League student bodies, 26 percent of the Kennedy Center
honourees, 37 percent of the Academy Award-winning directors, 38 percent of
those on a recent Business Week list of leading philanthropists, 51 percent of
the Pulitzer Prize winners for nonfiction.”
Jews are the single most successful “group of individuals” in the world based on
their numbers (13-14 million only), both economically and within various other
fields (Politics, Science, Literature etc.). Why?
For those familiar with Jewish history knows that they have been persecuted all
over the world the last millennium. They have been targeted in both Muslim and
Christian societies up until the 20th century. These events, in
combination with sionist thought, have contributed to shape the Jewish
mentality, principles and upbringing. Jews are naturally far more paranoid than
most people and teach their offspring about valour, the value of long term
goals, the value of saving/investing instead of spending and the value of the
nuclear family and family loyalty. As such, they indoctrinate their children in
a different way than Christian families do. Jews often teach their children to
save while Christian families teach their offspring to spend. In this regard
Jewish families tend to focus on long term goals while the average Christian
family is much more short sighted (Be happy now, you might die tomorrow – credit
cards etc.). Obviously this generalisation has a lot of exceptions and it is
gradually being diluted due to gradual assimilation. From a historical context
however, Jewish upbringing compared to Christian has been influenced by the
“minority/majority syndrome”. So the main difference why Jews are often more
successful than Christians (and especially Muslims) are the varieties in the
indoctrination during their upbringing. Some Jews will claim that they have a
higher IQ than Europeans due to biology. However, if this was true then the
world IQ ranking would not indicate that the average IQ for European countries
is in fact higher than that of Israel[1]. The focus on self interest and
camaraderie has historically been a factor which again is linked to historical
persecution and other similar factors. This can also explain why they have
survived for so long in “hostile environments” like the Muslim world and pre-20th
century Europe.
Many of the same “Jewish” principles are practised by Christian families though.
An estimated 60-70% of Jews and around 10% of Christians focus on these
important principles which are manifested in their social positions in society.
These principles in upbringing and family orientation are therefore not really
limited to Jews. In Ottoman Turkey, the Christian Armenian minority were equally
successful, handling most of the banking and commerce (until the Muslims wiped
them out).
So I would rather say, let’s
adapt instead of criticise. Obviously, camaraderie is bad and must be eliminated
(Jewish Oligarchs in Russia is a very nasty example of this). But I agree with
most of these principles/ethics and I fully support this mentality (Save/invest
instead of spend+ focus on long term goals). Does that make me a Jew?
For the sake of the argument (and knowing that NS’s are obsessed with
ethnicity); I’m 100% of Nordic descent and a protestant Christian with no ties
to any Jewish organisation which would cloud my judgement. I’m from the West
side of Oslo, and most of my current friends are from privileged families
(middle or higher middle class). There are many factors that separate us from
lesser privileged families on the East side. The essential factors are the
ethics and principles you adapt in your community. You don’t necessarily have to
be from a privileged family to succeed, obviously, but the common factor is that
you have to be able to identify these principles as early as possible in your
life and adapt if you want to excel and be what you can be.
Jews and camaraderie in business
There are some examples of unfortunate Jewish camaraderie. One example is the
Jewish community in Russia. It’s no secret that 7 out of 8 Russian Oligarchs are
Jews. It’s an obvious and unfortunate case of Jewish camaraderie in which
criticism is warranted without calling the critics anti-Semitic. Measures have
and should continue to be taken to understand and solve those cases. It’s likely
that those individuals received financial backing from Jews in their society and
possibly other countries which made the takeover of state companies possible.
All Jews should be at the forefront in criticising networks like that as it
fuels anti-Semitism.
There are some alleged claims of Jewish camaraderie in the US and EU but I
haven’t been able to locate reports which back this up. My general impression
and my own research indicate that in US/EU business community, Jews and non-Jews
are working together as one entity, with an excellent record of inter-ownership.
There are large non-Jewish investors in almost every large Jewish US and EU
corporations. This can be confirmed by checking the Board of Directors and list
of investors in Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers etc.
So to sum it up; I haven’t found any revealing reports which shows any proof of
significant Jewish networks with the intention of undermining non-Jewish capital
or ownership.
What’s more notable when speaking about camaraderie are the Japanese raids
combined with protectionism in the US/EU during the 80’s. It’s very disturbing
how the Japanese succeeded to wreck havoc in the US electronics business,
basically putting a whole industry out of business within a decade (By state
funded dumping of prices). Today, Japan, China and several other countries have
implemented a protectionist system which seeks to drain US/EU economies by
making us net consumers. Japan, China and several other countries are
systematically keeping their own currency low in order increase profits on
export.
Secondly, Saudi Arabia alone own around 9% of all US listed companies at the
moment. The Saudi’s and other Islamic countries have a lot of political leverage
now in the US and EU due to their investments. It’s therefore imperative that we
gain energy independence by investing and developing alternative energy.
Jews and multiculturalism
The international Jewish community and Jews in Israel are far from a homogenic
entity. Jews, like all other people and groups, have different and often
opposing views.
There are anti-Zionist Jews which seek the dismantlement of Israel (The group of
Jews that met with the Iranian President). There are other larger groups of Jews
who want to deport all Muslims and obliterate Iran etc. Most of the remaining
Jewish Diaspora living in the US and Europe would never consider moving to
Israel at all because they identify as nationals of their country. A majority of
them do not support the Israel hard line right wing policy. A majority of Jews
see themselves as Americans or Europeans and continue to assimilate. However,
certain of the wealthy and influential “western Jews” are opportunistic and seek
to promote and to protect Israel’s interests. It is true that a handful of these
individuals engage in networks/camaraderie in order to consolidate power. The
lack of documentation on this topic indicates that this is very limited though.
The Jewish community have traditionally and historically, since WW2, been known
as supporters of the EU’s Eurabia project/European multiculturalism.
Most Jews supported the “politically correct” establishment because they felt
that it suited their needs. Another reason is that support to them will more
effectively convert into pro-Israel policies. They also wanted to prevent and
undermine any potential nationalistic revitalisation due to the fear of National
Socialism. To the Jewish community, multiculturalism is the best short term
solution for securing their goals of “de-Nazifying” Europe. They do not yet
fully trust the pro-Israel, anti-immigration parties in the few countries where
these exist. Furthermore, just like non-Jews, they don’t comprehend the long
term effects of multiculturalism. They haven’t yet realised that Western
European countries (and Israel for that matter) will have a Muslim majority by
2080. At the same time they feel an increased scepticism towards the increased
Islamisation.
Regardless of what the Jewish communities motives are I think it’s imperative
that they take a stance on multiculturalism and Muslim immigration as soon as
humanly possible. They have to recognise that “multiculturalism” is the system
that allows Europe to be Islamised and it’s obviously not in their interest to
contribute to this.
Jews will in a much larger degree start to support the “new right” (just like
everyone else), who oppose multiculturalism as a means to stop Islamisation, at
least this is my hope. In the back of their minds they realise that a Muslim
Europe will be more "anti-Semitic than a Christian Europe. Muslims don’t have
the guilt complex that Europeans have. Many Jews feel they are trapped between
the “bark and the wood”, they are both sceptical of Muslim immigration on one
side and of the nationalist far right wing movements on the other side.
Nevertheless, time is off the essence and it is imperative that the European
Jewish community without delay take a stance on the ongoing Islamisation.
Neutrality on this issue is not an option. The only way of doing this is to back
the new right wing (anti-multiculturalism, pro-Israel) groups and political
parties (also manifested through views such as by moderate Jewish writers such
as
Daniel Pipes and Bat Ye’or).
The problem then arises as some European countries (Sweden, UK, France, Spain
etc.) lack a credible and moderate anti-Eurabian political alternative. The
anti-multiculturalist parties in these countries still lack reputational shields
and many of the current “old school” leaders are quite tainted by history
(historical NS sympathies). In these cases the most pragmatical approach would
be to implement anti-NS reforms (a just form of nationalism) or to contribute to
create a new political alternative (a credible and moderate anti-Eurabian
political party or organisation).
Conclusions:
The NS claim that all European governments and the EU parliament are ZOG is
completely ridiculous something which the EU’s and European anti-Israeli
policies prove. Many Jews do support multiculturalism (perhaps
disproportionally), but that doesn’t mean that all Jews are our enemies.
To quote Fjordman:
“I'm sick and tired of the Jew fetishism some people seem to have, who are
incapable of writing about any issue whatsoever without involving "Jewish
conspiracies." The plans for the creation of Eurabia, which are unfortunately
very real, not a conspiracy theory, have been exposed by a Jew, Bat Ye'or, who
has done this continent a great service by doing so. Every Jew hater should
think about that for a while. “
There are Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, agnostic, atheist and Jewish category
A and B traitors in Western Europe and they will all be targeted. And yes, many
of Hollywood’s movie/entertainment producers and capital market investors are
considered category A and B traitors (both Christian and Jewish). So let there
be no doubt whatsoever; I would be the first person to pull the trigger, given
the opportunity, if I ever saw a Jewish category A or B traitor. But I will not
kill him because he is a Jew, but rather because he is guilty of indirect/direct
atrocities against Europeans just like every other
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist
category A and B traitor. It’s essential to judge each person individually in
this regard and not according to their DNA structure.
It’s encouraging to see that an increasing number of National Socialists in
Western Europe are rejecting their old ideology and embracing a more just form
of nationalism; the Christian, cultural conservative, anti-Eurabian stance.
A modern cultural conservative (nationalist), anti-Jihad right wing alternative
is emerging in Western Europe. A majority of Western European right wing groups
are all anti-Islamisation and
pro-Israel. They wish to include the Jews in our fight against multiculturalism
and the Islamisation of Europe. Israel is at the forefront of global Jihad. If
Israel falls, then all the forces currently targeting Israel (Islamic Jihad,
Hamas, Hezbollah, Muslim Brotherhood financed by Saudi, Iran etc.) will start to
focus full heartedly on Europe.
We still have a lot of work to do. We must continue to pressure the old
generation “NS” movements and invite them to join our ranks. Through adaptation
and change they will contribute to create and further develop an “un-tainted”
anti-Islamic/anti-multiculturalistic stance – the “new strong European right”.
This will be a challenge for sure, especially in certain Eastern European
countries. We expect the support of all cultural conservative Jews in our future
consolidation efforts.

Q: Is it possible that cultural conservatives and National Socialists will
cooperate in the future?
A:
It will be extremely hard to cooperate with anyone who views our primary ally
(the Jews/Israel) as their primary enemy. Their Jew obsession and support to
Islamic regimes will severely hinder any direct cooperation. They are blinded by
their Jew hate to a degree where they fail to see the
imminent threat to Europe represented by Islam.
The following poll was taken from eNationalist, a rather hardcore NS site:
eNat Poll[4]:
Can the Arab world and part of the Islamic world be our allies?
Yes: 44%
No: 52%
This poll indirectly illustrate that the hardcore NS community reject the
concept of European Christian solidarity and thus rejecting the support to our
Eastern Christian cousins (Greek, Maronite, Assyrian, Copt) with the long term
goal of creating future Christian (Islamic free) zones. It also shows that they
are generally supportive of alliances with Islamic countries.
It wasn’t exactly a secret that many in the NS movements rejected Christendom
completely and instead support Odinism. It is however understandable that they
view modern humanist Christendom as weak and therefore unworthy of support (a
view which I partly agree with). However, the solution is not to reject
Christianity but rather to reform Christianity to re-introduce the concepts of
“self-defence” as propagated by former Crusader Popes.
Also, we shouldn’t forget that Nazi Germany allied itself with the
Ottoman Caliphate/Turkey on two occasions and supported the Christian Armenian
genocides.
Many NS support the Islamic conspiracy theory that Jews organised the 9/11
attacks and both reject that the Holocaust took place. In light of these
opposing views it’s hard to imagine that the “new Western European right” will
be willing to trust National Socialists.
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.
Fjordman
However, we have certain things in common that shouldn’t be underestimated.
We share the same anti -EU, -UN and –immigration/multiculturalism (Muslim
immigration at least) sentiments and the goal of “preserving European
traditions, culture etc” which is the primary reason why more and more ex-NS
people are conforming and joining the new “European right”.
As a message to those hardcore NS’s who are simply unable to compromise; Conform
and join our armed struggle against the European cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists (the enablers of the Islamisation of Europe), or
continue to be sidelined and marginalised. Multiculturalism is the hole in the
dike. Islam is the water pouring in. Everything else should be irrelevant.
Your “Jew” obsession is undermining your own struggle against multiculturalism.
The cultural conservatives of Western Europe will seize power by 2080, if you
want to be a part of this you will have no choice but to compromise. I would
imagine that a continued Judeo Christian Europe would be considerably better
than a European Caliphate even for the most hardcore NS.
Q:
Some “Ghandist/pacifist” members of the
conservative resistance will claim that violence will not solve anything and
will instead only give our enemies more rhetorical ammunition and make it easier
for them to gain the moral ground. They will finally be able to say; “terrorism
has no religion”. “By using terror you are undermining your own struggle and
hurting the nationalist cause”.
How would you react to statements like this?
A:
Well, first of all, I would tell him he obviously didn’t have a clue what he was
talking about. Pacifist approaches have been tried in the past; in Lebanon where
the Christians waited until the Muslims made up 60% of the population. The Copts
in Egypt have been relatively pacifist and look what it got them... They are
almost extinct due to their pacifist stance. The same can be said about the
Christian Assyrians and Armenians. They waited and waited, like loyal little
dhimmis and “hoped” for a better future, until the day the Muslims decided to
massacre them. Ghandi pacifism worked against the Brits in India because
Christian Europeans aren’t primitive barbarians... However, pacifism doesn’t
work at all against an Islamic entity. As soon as they become a form a majority
(and this will happen unless we can start the deportation campaigns in time)
they will strike and eventually massacre us as history has shown again and
again.
A great majority of the European conservatives have chosen dialogue and pacifism
since 1955 until today. And what exactly has it gotten us...? During the last 55
years of pacifist dialogue, the multiculturalists have been allowed to open the
gates and flooded our ancestral lands with 30 million Muslims and they even
continue to do so today. Should we
perhaps try dialogue for another 40 years and see what that brings us…?
Only a suicidal individual would accept this. Not acting would be the
biggest of all crimes.
The time for dialogue is over for an increasing number of Western Europeans. The
European civil war will progress the coming decades and our traitor enemies will
eventually be defeated and executed.
Your personal life and convictions
Q: How did you first get involved in your current activities?
A:
Well, I gained awareness of certain issues at that time. My best friend for many
years, a Muslim, had lived his whole life in Oslo West with limited contact with
the Norwegian-Pakistani community. Yet, he and more or less 100% of youngsters
like him still failed in many ways to be integrated. He attended Urdu classes at
school from early childhood. He went to the mosque occasionally after he was 12.
Like most Norwegian-Pakistanis he felt really torn between the Norwegian
community and the Pakistani community. However, I was wrong when assuming that
he would chose to follow my path and the Norwegian way. I understood early that
he resented Norwegians and the Norwegian society. Not because he was jealous,
after all he could have conformed if he wanted to. He resented it because it
represented the exact opposite of Islamic ways. Shortly after we broke of
contact he left Jon Trygve and Richard and started hanging out with his cousin
and other Pakistanis. Since then he has been a part of the Pakistani community
in Oslo and has, as far as I know, minimal contact with the Norwegian community.
Since then he and his Muslim friends have beaten and harassed several ethnic
Norwegians, one of them being my friend, Kristoffer.
According to Kristoffer, Arsalan and a bunch of Pakistanis tried to rob him
(See: Jizya). When he refused to pay them, they beat him badly. Luckily, there
were witnesses around and this incident in addition to Arsalans other acts of
violence against ethnic Norwegians resulted in him being incarcerated for 6
months. Another incident, which was confirmed from reliable sources, happened on
New Year’s Eve in Frognerparken, Oslo. Arsalan and his Pakistani friends
allegedly gang raped an ethnic Norwegian girl. I believe this was in 95 or 96.
As far as I know, they were never charged with this crime due to the lack of
witnesses.
Muslim girls were off limits to everyone, even the Muslim boys. The only
available “commodity” at this point was therefore ethnic Norwegian girls,
referred to as “whores”. Due to the tolerance indoctrinated through Norwegian
upbringing - girls aren’t brought up to be sceptics, racists or anti-immigrant,
just like most boys. They are all brought up to be very tolerant. As a result,
many ethnic Norwegian girls, especially in Muslim dominated areas, despise
ethnic Norwegian boys because they consider them as weak and inferior with lack
of pride, seeing as they are systematically “subdued” by the “superior Muslim
boys”. Ironically, Muslim boys are raised to view Norwegian girls as inferior
“whores”. Their only purpose is to bring pleasure until the Muslim guys are
around 20-25 when they will find a pure, “superior” Muslim girl, a virgin. At
this point, the ethnic Norwegian “whores” is discarded, and most of the girls go
back to their old “tribe”. They are welcomed back in the name of tolerance.
More or less all Muslim parents will tell their sons the following: “You can
have fun with the Norwegian whores, as long as you marry a Muslim”. If, against
all odds, a Muslim guy wants to marry one of these “whores”, she has to convert
to Islam – no exception. The Muslim girls however are guarded by their male
family members like they were made of pure gold. If a Muslim girl, against all
odds, engages in a relationship with an ethnic Norwegian guy, then the Muslim
males from her family or “tribe” will kill her or forcefully take her to their
country of origin to be “educated” for a few years. They will attempt to lure
her on a vacation to Pakistan, Morocco, Somalia etc. and possibly kill her
there, if she still refuses to conform. An alternative strategy is to forcefully
marry her off to a local Muslim guy and keep her in their country of origin
until she is sufficiently “tied down” through impregnating her and systematical
indoctrination. When she is “tied down” with 2 or more children there isn’t much
she can do. Also, it’s not very risky to kill Muslim girls in Muslim countries
as most government officials are corrupt and “very understanding”, especially in
cases where a family wants to “restore their pride”. This is the main reason why
Muslim girls are occasionally sent back to their country of origin, in order to
prevent them from becoming too “European”. They are often sent back to Europe,
after several years of abduction and indoctrination when they are sufficiently
subdued and under control of the Muslim society. It’s not very tempting for
Muslim girls to file a divorce and risk getting frozen out of the Muslim
community or risk getting killed when they have 2-4 children.
I also remember from my earlier childhood, two Pakistani and one Turkish girl
from Smestad school, the primary school I attended; Baligha, Modazzer and Eilif.
Baligha was Faizals, my friend’s, sister, I didn’t know Modazzer although she
was my neighbour, but I used to play with Eilif, Onors sister. At that time
there were three Pakistani families in that area and one Turkish, all except the
latter lived in publicly subsidised apartments, in accordance with the
government’s integration program. I remember the day when Modazzers chair was
empty. We didn’t get an answer from our teacher regarding her whereabouts. She
was supposed to have returned from her summer vacation in Pakistan. The next
year Eilif was sent to Turkey. I heard her father thought she had become “too
Norwegian”. A few years later, the exact same thing happened with Baligha. One
day she didn’t show up for school after her vacation in Pakistan. I was only 10
years old at that time and didn’t really know what was going on. In retrospect I
know that they were sent back to their country of origin, and no one as far as I
know has heard from them again. They were most likely either married away at
young age or killed. I know exactly where those families live(d) and I know for
a fact that they vanished and didn’t return for several years. At this point I
knew nothing about Islam. I only learned at school that Islam was peaceful and
tolerant, very similar to Christianity. I was therefore unable to make the
correct conclusions and identify that both Baligha and Modazzer had in fact been
abducted.
Anyway, back to the topic. When I was around 16-17 years old I joined the
Progress Party Youth organisation (FpU) as they were anti-immigration and
pro-free-market. Every single journalist in the country regarded them as racist
because of their anti-immigration program. FrP were under constant attacks from
every single media organisation, NGO’s and all the other political parties. They
were called racists and Nazis and were generally labelled as “fascist pigs”. FrP
appealed to me because I had experienced the hypocrisy in society first hand and
I knew already then that they were the only party who opposed multiculturalism.
It became obvious to me early on that the hypocrisy in society was so prevalent
and overwhelming. I now started to see the connection between Islam, Western
media, the extreme left and the government. I started studying Islamism,
Socialism, egalitarianism and other directions of Political Science and became
more aware of what was going on. I then, for the first time, understood why I
hadn’t learned anything of relevance about Islam at school, and the motives for
suppressing the truth on these issues – political correctness.
Around year 2000 I realised that the democratic struggle against the
Islamisation of Europe, European multiculturalism was lost. It had gone too far.
It is simply not possible to compete democratically with regimes who import
millions of voters. 40 years of dialogue with the cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists had ended up as a disaster. It would now only take
50-70 years before we, the Europeans are in a minority. As soon as I realised
this I decided to explore alternative forms of opposition. Protesting is saying
that you disagree. Resistance is saying you will put a stop to this. I decided I
wanted to join the resistance movement.
However, the main problem then was that there weren’t any alternatives for me at
all. There weren’t any known armed cultural conservative, or Christian,
anti-Jihad movements.
An NS or racist/anti Jewish movement was completely out of the question, as they
represented much of what I oppose. I came in contact with Serbian cultural
conservatives through the internet. This initial contact would eventually result
in my contact with several key individuals all over Europe and the forming of
the group who would later establish the military order and tribunal, PCCTS,
Knights Templar. I remember they did a complete screening and background check
to ensure I was of the desired calibre. Two of them had reservations against
inviting me due to my young age but the leader of the group insisted on my
candidature. According to one of them, they were considering several hundred
individuals throughout Europe for a training course. I met with them for the
first time in London and later on two occasions in Balticum. I had the privilege
of meeting one of the greatest living war heroes of Europe at the time, a
Serbian crusader and war hero who had killed many Muslims in battle. Due to EU
persecution for alleged crimes against Muslims he was living at one point in
Liberia. I visited him in Monrovia once, just before the founding session in
London, 2002.
I was the youngest one there, 23 years old at the time. One of the key founders
instructed the rest of the group about several topics related to the goal of the
organisation. I believe I scribbled down more than 50 full pages of notes
regarding all possible related topics. Much of these notes are forwarded in the
book 2083. It was basically a detailed long term plan on how to seize power in
Western Europe. I did not fully comprehend at the time how privileged I was to
be in the company of some of the most brilliant political and military
tacticians of Europe. Some of us were unfamiliar with each other beforehand so I
guess we all took a high risk meeting face to face. There were only 5 people in
London re-founding the order and tribunal (1 by proxy) but there were around
25-30 attending in Balticum during the two sessions, individuals from all over
Europe; Germany, France, Sweden, the UK, Denmark, Balticum, Benelux, Spain,
Italy, Greece, Hungary, Austria, Armenia, Lebanon and Russia. Electronic or
telephonic communication was completely prohibited, before, during and after the
meetings. On our last meeting it was emphasised clearly that we cut off contact
indefinitely. Any type of contact with other cells was strictly prohibited.
This was not sessions were regular combat cells were created. It was more like a
training course for pioneer cell commanders. We were not instructed to attack
specific targets, quite the opposite. We were encouraged to rather use the
information distributed to contribute to build and expand the so called
”cultural conservative anti-Jihad movement, either through spreading propaganda,
provide funding for the creation of new groups through various forums or by
recruiting other people directly. All individuals attending the sessions learned
about PCCTS, the Knights Templar but
they were not specifically instructed to represent that particular order and
tribunal. Everyone was encouraged but at the end, it was their own decision how
they decided to manifest their resistance. A special emphasis was put on the
long term nature of the struggle (50-100 years). Our task was to contribute to a
long term approach and not to act prematurely. If there was a large scale attack
the next 10 years it was said, we should avoid any immediate follow up attacks
as it would negate the shock effect of the subsequent attacks. A large
successful attack every 5-12 years was optimal depending on available forces.
This was not a stereotypical “right wing” meeting full of underprivileged racist
skinheads with a short temper, but quite the opposite. Most of them were
successful entrepreneurs, business or political leaders, some with families,
most of them Christian conservatives but also some agnostics and even atheists.
I remember it struck me how impressed I was regarding how they had set up the
screening parameters (for accepting new candidates). They obviously wanted
resourceful pragmatical individuals who were able to keep information away from
their loved ones and who were not in any way flagged by their governments. Every
one of them was supportive of a Judeo Christian Europe and did not have any
reservations against cooperating with non-European Christians Hindu or Buddhist
nationalists. I had or have a relatively close relationship with at least one of
them, an Englishman, who became my mentor. He was the one who first described
the “perfect knight” and had written the initial fundament for this compendium.
I was asked, not only once but twice, by my mentor; let’s call him Richard, to
write a second edition of his compendium about the new European Knighthood. As
such, I spent several years to create an economic platform which would allow me
to study and write a second edition. And as of now, I have spent more than three
years completing this second edition. Perhaps, someone out there will be able to
contribute by creating a third edition one day.
Q: What tipped the scales for you? What single event made you decide you wanted
to continue planning and moving on with the assault?
A:
For me, personally, it was my government’s involvement in the attacks on Serbia
(NATO bombings in 1999) several years back. It was completely unacceptable how
the US and Western European regimes bombed our Serbian brothers.
All they wanted was to drive Islam out by deporting the Albanian Muslims
back to Albania. When the Albanians refused, they really didn’t have any choice
but to use military force. By disallowing the Serbians the right for
self-determination over their sovereign territory they indirectly dug a grave
for Europe. A future where several Mini-Pakistan’s would eventually will be
created in every Western European capital. This is unacceptable, completely
unacceptable.
There have been several issues that have reaffirmed my beliefs since then. Among
them; my governments cowardly handling of the Muhammad Cartoon issue and their
decision to award the Nobel peace prize to an Islamic terrorist (Arafat) and
appeasers of Islam. There have been tens of other issues. My government and our
media capitulated to Islam several years ago, after the Rushdie event. Since
then, it has gone downhill. Thousands of Muslims pouring in annually through our
Asylum institution, or by family reunification. The situation is just chaotic.
These suicidal traitors must be stopped.
Q: How did you proceed after these sessions in 2002-2004?
A:
I understood early that in order to be able to work full time with what you
want, you need to gain economical independence. I was not rich at the time and I
had to somehow find a way to earn enough funds to be able to contribute.
Late in 2002 I was working full time as a mid level leader in a customer service
company. At the same time, I started a company that focused on outsourcing of
programming services. It went quite well. And around May 2003 I quit my day job
to focus entirely on my business. The next three years i worked an average 12
hours per day with my company; E-Commerce Group. At one point I had 6 employees,
2 in Norway, 2 in Russia, 1 in Romania and one in Indonesia. I registered an off
shore company and several off shore bank accounts in order to avoid excessive
state taxation (anonymous debit cards and ATM`s ftw). This way, I could build up
funds faster. My initial plan was to earn at least 5 million, then use the
acquired funds to start a pan-European conservative movement or plan an advanced
operation. It started out great and I earned my first mill (NOK) at the age of
24 which peaked at 4 million, 12 months later. In 2005 and 2006, recession hit
my industry which resulted in lower income margins. As a result I decided to
discontinue my company and instead salvage all the funds I could. The most cost
efficient way of doing this in my country is to file for bankruptcy, which I
did. I had now completed my goal and I had enough funding to proceed with
planning of an assault operation.
I spent three years were I focused on writing the compendium, 2083. During a 12
month period in the beginning, I also played World of Warcraft part time (which
had been a dream for some time – hardcore raiding:). I lived very ascetic and
relatively isolated in this period. These three years would also contribute to
detach myself from my “old life”. It’s a process I used in order to isolate
myself from most of my network, in preparation for the coming operation. I feel
that this period was needed in order to completely ”detach myself from “the
game”, my “former shallow consumerist lifestyle ” in order to ensure full focus
on the matters at hand.
Comment: Normally I find it quite pathetic to brag about how much one has
earned. The only reason I mentioned it is because the cultural Marxist/
multiculturalist government will likely try to attempt to “assassinate my
character” by labelling me as an “insane, inbred, pedophile Nazi loser”.
I guess it should also be noted that I did in fact lose 2 million NOK on stock
speculation during the period 2005-2008 leaving me with approximately 2 million
(half a million went to tax). Most of my funds were channelled through the
company; Brentwood Solutions Ltd (and four other offshore accounts) which again
channelled the funds to my Norwegian corporation; E-Commerce Group AS and to
anonymous debit cards. Despite the fact that I used an offshore
company/accounts. In retrospect I see that I made certain mistakes which has
pressured my budget. I had approximately one million NOK (170 000 Euro) to spend
on both writing the book and finance the operation. I spent more funds during
the creation of the compendium leaving me with approximately 40 000 Euro plus
credit for the operation.
Q: Why did you choose an allegiance to a group with Christian values and
pan-European goals instead of a purely national/regional group?
A:
Many have asked this question. My choice has nothing to do with the fact that I
am not proud of my own traditions and heritage. My choice was based purely
pragmatism. All Europeans are in
this boat together so we must choose a more moderate platform that can appeal to
a great number of Europeans – preferably up to 50% (realistically up to 35%).
Choosing a local/national group would be counterproductive as all the groups I
am familiar with are Odinist orientated and not Christian identity groups. It is
essential that we choose a banner that has the potential to appeal towards
central and southern Europeans as well. I understand that many nationalists
oppose Christianity and do not wish to fight under the banner of a cross.
Furthermore, I understand that many nationalists only care for their own nation
and culture. However, all Western Europeans are in the same situation, facing
the same problems so it would be illogical not to cooperate and focus on
pan-European organizations. Pooling resources and especially knowledge is
essential. Obviously, this cannot be achieved if you require that your potential
members follow un-appealing principles and codes such as that of the national
anarchists (at least many of them). A hateful ideology (white supremacist),
death metal, Odinism, conspiracy theories does NOT have mass appeal. Some of the
local nationalist factions have very controversial views and lifestyles that do
not appeal to a broad specter of people. This is in a way understandable as it
can be viewed as indirect cultural defensive mechanisms as a result of decades
of persecution from local authorities. Yet, so called national anarchists will
never be potent enough unless they pool their knowledge base with pan-European
organisations. Mass appeal should be the most essential factor in this strategy.
Obviously, the PCCTS, Knights Templar does not have mass appeal as we are a
relatively cynical/cruel/goal oriented armed resistance group.
However, our primary foundational principles (a majority of them) still
have mass appeal and are supported by as many as 50-60% of all Europeans. The
reason for this is due to the fact that we oppose ALL hate ideologies and we
consider it illogical to fight hate with hate. Of course, this does not mean
that we will use less brutal methods in our operations. It only means that our
foundational ideological principles will have mass appeal to a majority of
Europeans.
In comparison, the foundational principles of National Socialism or white
supremacy groups in general does not have mass appeal and is supported by less
than 10%, in many countries less than 5%.
And yes, we are aware that many NS will view us as sellouts and even traitors.
Many believe that we are race traitors for offering any non-Muslim minority
group the opportunity to fight with us and for flagging support to Zionism
(Israeli nationalism) in our foundational principles. To some national
socialists, this is high treason and can never be accepted. According to these
hardcore national socialists we are just as bad as the Marxists.
Needless to say, at the end of the day, we have the sympathy of the European
peoples, while they have considerably less support.
Q: I guess you wanted to tell your friends about this. Has it been hard to live
a “double life”, hiding your true political conservative revolutionary
convictions?
A:
At first it was extremely hard to avoid the temptation to tell your closest
friends. I decided however to withhold all relevant information from them and
everyone, not because I didn’t trust them, but rather because I wanted to avoid
incriminating them. Revealing sensitive information to any of them would put
them in a difficult spot, because they would be required by law to report this
info to the authorities. It would also pose a serious threat to me if they
decided to tell anyone. Adding any cell commanders on MSN or other online
networks would be completely idiotic and reckless and would violate my oath. As
such, I therefore only corresponded with moderate people who had no clue
whatsoever about my clandestine activities. After all, a Justiciar Knight is not
an ideologically insecure individual. A Justiciar Knight does not rely on
constant babysitting or “patting on the back”. He is self driven and
ideologically confident with proven daily rituals/meditation which keeps him
going.
A couple of my friends have their suspicions though. However, I have managed to
channel these suspicions far away from relating to my political convictions.
Instead they suspect that I am playing WoW (and trying to hide it) and a couple
of them believe that I have chosen semi-isolation because of some alleged
homosexual relationship which they suspect I am trying to hide, LOL. Quite
hilarious, as I am 100% hetero, but they may continue to believe what they want
as it prevents them from asking more questions;)) My goal is obviously to
prevent my closest network from asking specific questions, and it has worked
perfectly so far.
Q: What motivates you? How have you managed to stay focused and motivated for
more than 8 years? Is it bitterness and hate towards the so called ”cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist elites” or perhaps towards Islam?
A:
No, not at all. In fact, if they (the cultural Marxists) against all odds
renounced multiculturalism today, halted all Muslim immigration and started
deportation of all Muslims I would forgive them for their past crimes, and I
think most Europeans would as well, despite the fact that more than 15 000
Europeans have died and 500 000 have been raped and/or ravaged physically or
mentally due to multiculturalism. If they refuse to surrender before 2020 it
will be no turning back. We will eventually annihilate every single one of them.
They should know this so I hope they surrender before the deadline.
If they continue to defy the will of Europeans for decades to come and force
Europe to the brink of catastrophe, they will be shown no mercy. It will be an
extremely bloody reckoning and thousands of them will most likely be executed.
Secondly, I don’t hate Muslims at all. I acknowledge that there are magnificent
Muslim individuals in Europe. In fact, I have had several Muslim friends over
the years, some of which I still respect. This does not mean however that I will
accept an Islamic presence in Europe. Muslim individuals who do not assimilate
100% within 2020 will be deported as soon as we manage to seize power.
Although I do admit that I am disgusted by the current development, I would
rather say I’m driven by my love for Europe, European culture and all Europeans.
This does not mean that I oppose diversity. But appreciating diversity does not
mean that you support genocide of your own culture and people by accepting f
example Islamic Demographic Warfare.
Q: How would you view your own current political standpoints 15 years ago?
A:
I would most likely think I was a complete nut job due to the fact that I was
ignorant about most issues then. But if you actually take the time to study the
non-PC documentation available you cannot avoid making many of the same
conclusions I have made today.
Fighting for your people’s survival, when threatened, is the most logical thing
to do to. Defending your people and culture from genocide is the most basic and
recognised human right and one of few causes actually worth dying for. I do not
regret any of my actions or major life choices. In fact, I would do it all
again, without any hesitation, if I was given the chance.
Q: You know that a large majority of people will end up viewing you as a
complete nut right, despite your own and others efforts to justify violence?
A:
I am fully aware that the media will attempt to label me as a nut. This is the
most common strategy of combating political dissidents.
I know that the cultural Marxists and the full force of the European
multiculturalist mainstream media will do everything within their power to
portray people like me as nothing more than delusional nut jobs. After all it’s
their job to protect their interests. And they will succeed to a certain degree
(we are currently too disorganised to counter their powerful propaganda
machinery). I am fully aware that our current views are considered extreme.
However, more spectacular operations will burden them and force public
discussion. It will be increasingly harder for them to manipulate and distort
the truth, or to prevent people from knowing what is going on. We are using
brutal means because we have tried absolutely everything else. Within the
boundaries of the EUSSR totalitarian system, we are left no choice.
With time (in phase 2 when the Muslims have reached 20-50%) more and more people
will dig deeper into our material and understand that we are right.
Q: But doesn’t it worry you that 95% of all Europeans will openly detest you and
call you a murderer and a terrorist?
A:
It’s human nature to be selfish, to seek admiration, love and affection. This is
why very few people will have the self insight, the ideological and moral
confidence and strength to act selflessly on behalf of their own countrymen on
their own initiative without a solid hierarchical organisation or country
supporting and encouraging them.
We have taken these thankless tasks upon ourselves because we possess these
traits; the self insight, the ideological and moral confidence and strenght and
we are willing to sacrifice our lives for our brothers and sisters, even though
they will openly detest us. It can be illustrated like a parent spanking their
ignorant child. The child will hate their parents there and then but in time
they will understand that their only intention is to protect them. In phase 2
and 3, many of these brothers and sisters will hold our banner and chant our
hymns because they finally understand.
Q: How do you manage to motivate yourself considering the fact that you are
planning a large operation alone, with no one to confide in?
A:
It has been a long term process since I first decided I wanted to contribute.
But it’s not like I have been isolated for years. I have almost lived a normal
life up until now. I still have a close relationship with my friends and family,
just not as tight as it used to be. As for my current situation, I have been
working on this book now for almost two years. It’s essential that you reward
yourself and enjoy life in this period. You can do things you normally wouldn’t
have done. You can basically live a normal life if you chose to; you just have
to be extra careful. I have been practising certain rituals and meditation to
strengthen my beliefs and convictions. For me, the most common ritual is taking
a long walk listening to my favourite music on my Ipod. I just love vocal
Elektronika, very powerful. This is done while brainstorming for new angles I
might have missed and mentally simulating every detail of the operation. Do
whatever works for you. The most important thing is being ready when the day
comes, to not hesitate. Overcoming your fear is the most difficult task. It’s
essential to prepare yourself mentally for this.
Q: Do you oppose all aspects of multiculturalism?
A:
No, I don’t. I support the continued consolidation of non-Muslim Europe and an
unconditional support to all Christian countries and societies (Israel
included), in addition to continuing our good relationships with all Hindu and
Buddhist countries.
As such, I don’t support the deportation of non-Muslims from Europe as long as
they are fully assimilated (I’m a supporter of many of the Japanese/Taiwan/South
Korean policies/principles). However, we should take a break from mass
immigration in general (as of 2008 numbers). Any future immigration needs to be
strictly controlled and exclusively non-Muslim. Emphasis should be on
individuals who can greatly benefit Europe in some way. This immigration break
should be used to demonstrate clearly that Europe will no longer serve as the
dumping ground for excess population growth in other countries. We have cultures
that we’d like to preserve, as well, and cannot and should not be expected to
accept unlimited number of migrants from other countries.
The Islamic world on the other hand should be completely isolated and Islam
reclassified and banned as a fascist/imperialistic and genocidal political
ideology.
Q: What great nationalist statesmen inspire you?
A:
Winston Churchill, Otto von Bismarck
However, our role models MUST be the great nationalist struggles of the past,
because politics is nothing at all but the historical process at work in the
present. So we need to study the Wind of Change that blew through Africa in the
1950s, now that we too are living under anti-European discrimination in the EU
Colonial Empires (EUSSR). Study Mao Tse-Dong (The Great Helmsman), once a role
model for the Left, now a possible Rightist role model: leader of China's
National Revival. Was he ever a Communist at all?
Study Otto von Bismarck, not Adolf (the former was precursor of the modern
Right, the latter precursor of the contemporary left). Study the Italian
Risorgimento of the 19th century, which was a vast movement of National Revival
(not a conspiracy by small elites, as the textbooks say) and an Alliance between
the aristocratic Right (Count Cavour[1] and King Victor Emmanuel[2]) and the
Revolutionary Left (Garibaldi[3]). And look at Ataturk's revival of Turkey after
the collapse of the Ottoman Empire (led by the military). Ireland and Israel
have had Nationalist struggles in the last century we can very usefully learn
from. In each case, a handful of visionaries raised whole nations, after
centuries (even millennia) of oppression. Theodor Herzl, founder of Zionism, was
ridiculed and died after only 8 years in politics, convinced of his own failure.
Remember the spider in Robert the Bruce's cave: each time its web was blown
away, it wove again and Bruce was inspired to re-weave the web of Scots
Nationhood: still going strong 780 years later.
We must study Athelstan, Alfred and Edgar of Wessex, who did not give up, just
because everyone told him that England was finished. Neither Boudicca, nor
Caractacus should be our heroes, because they both failed quickly and miserably.
It was Cassivellaunus who defeated Caesar two years running and Calgacus who
saved Albion (North Britain) from the Romans. For 465 years the Romans were
occupying half of Britain: the brave British patriots never gave up resistance
(12 Vietnams laid end to end) and the Romans were eventually driven out.
There are many great historical nationalist statesmen worth studying. Even if
the situation looks grim now, it will never be too late. Never surrender!

Q: What is your view on the duties of non-Muslim minorities in Western Europe?
A:
The European Jewish, Buddhist and Hindu community has a right but also a duty to
join in the fight against the Islamisation of Europe. I welcome and encourage
all non-Muslim minorities to join us in this fight.
The indigenous peoples of Europe will succeed to seize power in Western Europe
by 2080 due to the ongoing Islamisation, with or without the support of minority
communities. I sincerely hope that the majority of non-Muslim minorities will
support the “new right” and by doing so show where their loyalty is. You cannot
be neutral in this struggle. You are either a supporter of multiculturalism or
you support the struggle against the Islamisation of Europe. If the non-Muslim
minorities aren’t proportionally represented in our struggle they risk losing
credibility as reliant allies which can have unknown consequences under certain
circumstances.
Q: Can the mainstream media prevent a continued right wing consolidation?
A:
They will continue with their old strategies, labelling everyone who opposes the
Islamisation of Europe/European multiculturalism as Nazi’s and racists.
Fjordman illustrates it well:
“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. If we are
not the former, then it follows by logic that we have to be the latter. This
attitude betrays an all-pervasive hatred that demonises absolutely anything
Europeans do to protect their dignity and heritage. “
This will work for them as long as the government manages to keep unemployment
low and maintain the current level of welfare. Unfortunately for them, it is
just a matter of time before the Western European economies completely
collapses. I know for a fact that it will happen within 20-70 years.
Q: Name seven traits you consider most important as a cell operative:
A:
Ideological confidence,
patience, the ability to motivate yourself, keeping sensitive information to
yourself, resourcefulness, being pragmatical and insightfulness in your own
psyche.
Q: What should be our civilisational objectives, how do you envision a perfect
Europe?
A:
“Logic” and rationalist thought (a certain degree of national Darwinism) should
be the fundament of our societies. I support the propagation of collective
rational thought but not necessarily on a personal level. Because, if a woman
was purely rational, she would choose to not have babies at all, and instead
live her life in a purely egotistical manner. We should strive to become a
civilisation where the individual’s acquisition of wealth would no longer be the
driving force in our lives. Instead, we would focus much more of our resources
to better ourselves and our communities by channelling at least 20% of the
budget to research, science and technology. Good welfare arrangements combined
with embracing the ideal of perfection requires a solid cooperation/symbiosis
(social cohesion) and is only possible in a monoculture where everyone has
complete confidence to everyone. The problem with today’s society is that it has
become fanatically egalitarian. In our quest to appease everyone (except the
traditional cultural group) we have created a habit and tradition of cheering
mediocrity and weakness. Your position in the “victim hierarchy” decides your
position in society. It’s an illogical and self defeating development.
As for the future servant class; I have described this in another chapter
(insourcing of labour for 6 month contracts offering them less than 20% of
Western salaries). This servant class model ensures that all European citizens
is treated with decency and offered every possibility to advance. However, it
will be almost impossible to gain citizenship for non-European immigrants.
Your personal life
Q: Can you describe your childhood?
A:
My father, Jens Breivik, had three children from a former marriage; Erik, Jan
and Nina while my mother, Wenche Behring had a daughter from a past
relationship; Elisabeth. My parents divorced when I was 1 years old. Me, my
sister and my parents; Wenche (a nurse), Jens (siviløkonom) was living in London
at the time as he worked as a diplomat for the Royal Norwegian Embassy in London
(and later Paris). Jens stayed in London and later married Tove Øvermo who also
worked in the Royal Norwegian Embassy. Wenche, Elisabeth and myself moved back
to Oslo and settled on Skøyen, Oslo West.
My mother, Wenche met my stepfather, Tore, who was a captain in the Norwegian
Army. My stepmother, Tove, later became a Vice Consul and my father was a
Commercial Councellor for the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
abroad, first in London and then in Paris.
My parents were not politically active but supported the policies of the
Norwegian Labour Party which was common for most individuals working in the
public sector. My stepfather, Tore, was a moderately right wing while my
stepmother, Tove, was a moderate cultural Marxist and feminist. My mom, Wenche,
was an apolitical moderate feminist.
Jens and Tove wanted child custody and wanted to raise me in Paris. They lost
the child custody case in an Oslo court a few years later.
I visited Jens and Tove on a regular basis in Paris and at our summer
house/cottage in Normandie, FR and Notodden, NO until they divorced when I was
12.
I had a good relationship with him and his new wife at the time, Tove Øvermo,
until I was 15. I still have contact with Tove until this day but have not
spoken to my father since he isolated himself when I was 15 (he wasn’t very
happy about my graffiti phase from 13-16:). He has four children but has cut
contact with all of them so it is pretty clear whose fault that was. I don’t
carry any grudge but a couple of my half siblings do. The thing is that he is
just not very good with people. I tried contacting him five years ago but he
said he was not mentally prepared for a reunion due to various factors, his poor
health being one.
Tore, my stepfather, worked as a major in the Norwegian military and is now
retired. I still have contact with him although now he spends most his time
(retirement) with prostitutes in Thailand. He is a very primitive sexual beast,
but at the same time a very likable and good guy. I can’t say I approve of that
lifestyle although I can’t really blame him when I see today’s Marxist social
structures. So all in all, I consider myself privileged and I feel I have had a
privileged upbringing with responsible and intelligent people around me. I do
not approve of the super-liberal, matriarchal upbringing though as it completely
lacked discipline and has contributed to feminise me to a certain degree.
I haven’t really had any negative experiences in my childhood in any way. I had
way too much freedom though if anything.
I used to visit my father annually until I was 16. So guess I came from a
typical Norwegian middle class family. We never had any economical troubles.
I have a good relationship with my four half siblings, Nina, Erik and Jan but
especially Elisabeth. We get together a couple of times a year. Elisabeth moved
to Los Angeles 14 years ago and is now settled down with two kids, Kaia and
Tyler. I talk to her once a month. Both she and her husband are moderately
conservative but generally live their life as apolitical career cynicists. Two
of my other half siblings are conservative, one moderately conservative. They
are generally apolitical but I am very happy for the fact that a majority of my
extended family are intelligent and relatively anti-Marxist. Erik’s girlfriend
though is a super-feminist and quite radical Marxist. We have had some very
interesting conversations where she has almost physically strangled me:D
I went to the following institutions;
-
Vigelandsparken kindergarden
-
Smestad primary school
-
Ris secondary School
-
Hartvig Nissen High School
-
Oslo Handelsgym High School
Q: How would you describe yourself as a person?
A:
I consider myself to be a laid back type and quite tolerant on most issues.
Due to the fact that I have been exposed to decades of multicultural
indoctrination I feel a need to emphasise that I am not in fact a racist and
never have been.
My Godmother (being baptised when I was 15 years old), Amelia Jimenez and her
husband, came to Norway as political refugees from Chile. In retrospect I
understood that they were Marxist political activists but I didn’t comprehend
these issues at the time. Our two families have been very close throughout my
childhood and youth. I’ve had several non-Norwegian and Muslim friends. I spent
a lot of time with Onor, a Turk, Jonathan an Eritrean, Raol and Natalie from
Chile, Arsalan Ahmad Sohail, Faizal and Wazim from Pakistan. I’ve had dozens of
non-Norwegian friends during my younger years, Bashir from Somalia, Pablo from
Chile, Odd Erling – adopted from Columbia, Lene – adopted from India have been
good friends and a couple of them still are today.
Q: Why did you have so many non-ethnic Norwegian friends?
A:
I remember that pride and certain moral codexes/principles have always been very
important to me. As a result, individuals with these traits appealed to me. If I
ever got in to trouble I expected my friends to back me up 100% without
submitting or running away, as I would for them. Very few ethnic Norwegians
shared these principles. They would either “sissy out”, allow themselves to be
subdued or run away when facing a threat. This was an unacceptable scenario for
me. If anyone threatened me or my friends, regardless if we were at a
disadvantage, we would rather face our foes than to submit and lose face. If we
did get beaten we would just rally our allies and get back at them later. Pride
was more important than anything. This type of attitude gave us a big advantage.
No one would risk messing with us, even the kids 2 years older.
The majority of people who shared these principles of pride was the Muslim
youths and the occasional skinhead. However, even back then, the Muslims
outnumbered the skinheads 20 to 1. Being a skinhead was never an option for me.
Their dress codes and taste of music was unappealing and I thought they were too
extreme. I hated rock then and I still do.
Q: Violent Muslim gangs in European cities are not exactly a new phenomenon. We
hear about indigenous European youths getting harassed, beaten, raped and robbed
quite often. Tell us about your experiences during your “vulnerable
years”(14-18) growing up in the urban multicultural streets of Oslo.
A:
Since I was 12 years old I was into the hip-hop movement. For several years I
was one of the most notable “hip-hop’ers” from Oslo’s West side. It was a lot
easier to “gain respect and credibility” in Oslo West because of the demographic
factors. Oslo West was the “privileged and predominantly native side” of Oslo
with very few immigrants in contrast to the East side which was less peaceful.
Graffiti and break dance was an important part of our life at that point. Around
1993 and 1994, at 15, I was the most active tagger (grafitti artist) in Oslo as
several people in the old school hip-hop community can attest to. Our standard
“graffiti raid” consisted of going out at night, in groups of 2-3, with our
backpacks full of spray cans. We took our bikes and “bombed” city blocks with
our tags, “pieces” and crew name all over Oslo. “<Morg>, Wick and Spok” was
everywhere. The fact that hundreds of kids our own age all over Oslo West and
even Oslo East looked up to us was one of the driving forces I guess. At that
time it felt very rewarding to us. If you wanted girls and respect then it was
all about the hip hop community at that time. The more reckless you were the
more respect and admiration you gained.
Everyone didn’t approve though. The government had a no-tolerance attitude
towards graffiti and removed 90% of our “creations” within 48 hours. I remember
it was an unofficial war between the hip-hop community and the government and
Oslo Sporveier, our public subway company. Two guys I knew, Stian and Charles, a
few years older than me were arrested, received gigantic fines and was put in
jail. The hip-hop movement In Norway had its climax around that time, in 92-93.
The community was very “politically correct” in nature with close ties to the
extreme left groups like SOS Rasisme (an extreme left wing movement) and Blitz
(a violent left wing extremist movement). I remember we used to hang out with
various people and groups all over Oslo. There were plenty of hip-hop concerts
at Blitz and it was at this time that the communist hip-hop group; “Gatas
Parlament” was created. It’s hard to imagine but during this time everyone was
into graffiti and hip-hop.
I remember my friends at that time; Jon Trygve, Richard and Arsalan, we did
everything together. In fact, it was my Muslim friend who sparked my interest
for Christianity, Islam and politics in general. We had countless discussions
relating to culture, geo-politics etc. At the time, I couldn’t understand why he
loathed Norway and my culture so much. He simply despised it and I was unable to
truly comprehend why at the time. The school curriculum was a joke, as all we
learned about Islam was that it was the religion of peace, often spread my
merchants. However, this was one of
the primary reasons why I started to appreciate my own religion and culture to a
larger degree and why I wanted to seek alternative sources which could explain
more. I remember during the first Gulf war, he used to cheer loudly whenever a
scud missile was launched against the Americans. I was completely ignorant at
the time and apolitical but his total lack of respect for my culture (and
Western culture in general) actually sparked my interest and passion for it.
Thanks to him I gradually developed a passion for my own cultural identity. This
was apparently very annoying for him, as I was unwilling to convert to Islam.
Instead, I suggested he convert to Christianity and embrace our norms and
culture.
We used to hang out with GSV crew, or B-Gjengen as they are popularly called
today, a Muslim Pakistani gang, quite violent even back then. “Gang alliances”
was a part of our everyday life at that point and assured that you avoided
threats and harassment. Alliances with the right people guaranteed safe passage
everywhere without the risk of being subdued and robbed (Jizya), beaten or
harassed. We had close ties with B-Gjengen (B-Gang) and A-Gjengen (A-Gang), both
Muslim Pakistani gangs through my best friend Arsalan who was also a Pakistani.
Even at that time, the Muslim gangs were very dominating in Oslo East and in
inner city Oslo. They even arranged “raids” in Oslo West occasionally, subduing
the native youths (kuffars) and collecting Jizya from them (in the form of cell
phones, cash, sunglasses etc.). I remember they systematically harassed, robbed
and beat ethnic Norwegian youngsters who were unfortunate enough to not have the
right affiliations. Muslim youths called the ethnic Norwegians “poteter”
(potatoes,
a derogatory term used by Muslims to describe ethnic Norwegians).
These people occasionally raped the so called “potato whores”.
In Oslo, as an ethnic Norwegian youth aged 14-18 you were restricted if you
didn’t have affiliations to the Muslim gangs. Your travel was restricted to your
own neighbourhoods in Oslo West and certain central points in the city. Unless
you had Muslim contacts you could easily be subject to harassment, beatings and
robbery. Our alliances with the Muslim gangs were strictly seen as a necessity
for us, at least for me. We, however, due to our alliances had the freedom of
movement. As a result of our alliances we were allowed to have a relaxing and
secure position on the West side of Oslo among our age group. Think of it as
being local “warlords” for certain “kuffar areas”, which were regulated by the
only dominant force, Muslim gangs collaberating with anarcho-Marxist networks.
Many of these groups claim to be tolerant and anti-fascist, but yet, I have
never met anyone as hypocritical, racist and fascist as the people whom I used
to call friends and allies. The media glorifies them while they wreck havoc
across the city, rob and plunder. Yet, any attempts their victims do to
consolidate are harshly condemned by all aspects of the cultural establishment
as racism and Nazism. I have witnessed the double standards and hypocrisy with
my own eyes, it is hard to ignore. I was one of the protected “potatoes”, having
friends and allies in the Jihadi-racist gangs such as the A and B gang and many
other Muslim gangs.
I gradually became appalled by the mentality, actions and hypocrisy of what he
calls the “Marxist-Jihadi youth” movement of Oslo disguised under more socially
acceptable brands such as: “SOS Rasisme”, “Youth against Racism”, Blitz who
literally hijacked segments of the hiphop movement and used it as a front for
recruitment.
I have personally heard of and witnessed hundreds of Jihadi-racist attacks, more
than 90% of them aimed at helpless Norwegian youth (who themselves are brought
up to be “suicidally” tolerant and therefore are completely unprepared mentally
for attacks such as these). This happens while the Marxist networks in the
hiphop movement and the cultural establishment silently and indirectly condone
it. There is absolutely no political will to ensure that justice is served on
behalf of these victims. I remember at one point thinking; “This system makes me
sick”.
Q: Did you ever contribute to the Muslim atrocities against the indigenous
during this period?
A:
I saw the “security alliances” in a strictly pragmatical way. They were a
necessary evil at that time. During these years I heard of hundreds of cases
where ethnic Norwegians were harassed, robbed and beaten by Muslim gangs. This
type of behaviour was in fact acts of racism or even based on religious motives
(Jihadi behaviour), although I failed to see that connection then due to lack of
knowledge about Islam; I saw the practical manifestations and I didn’t like it
at all. The only thing you could do was to take the necessary precautions,
create alliances or be subdued by them. If you made any attempt to create a
“Norwegian gang” you would be instantly labelled as a Nazi and face the wrath of
everyone, in addition to the Muslim gangs. They, however, were allowed to do
anything while being indirectly cheered by society. So in other words, we were
trapped between the “wood and the bark”. This is still the case in all Western
European major cities. They are allowed to consolidate, while we are not.
I never took part in any of their activities and I never participated in any
Blitz demonstrations either. To me, that would have been too hypocritical seeing
that the Muslim gangs and their “racist/Jihadi” behaviour was tolerated by the
police, media and the violent left wing extremists (ANTIFA) like “Blitz” and
“SOS Rasisme”. I left the hiphop community and the gangs when I was 16 and never
looked back.
Q: Tell me about your school performance?
A:
Despite the above, me, Jon Trygve, Richard and Arsalan were doing well at school
up until then. I noticed that most of the active people within the hip-hop
movement were academically weak and I didn’t want to end up like them. Hasjis
was now a very natural thing in this community but I chose to stay away from it.
I was 16 years old at this time. My decision to focus more on school and my
principle to never try drugs was the beginning of the end for my friendship with
Jon Trygve, Richard, Arsalan and my “departure” from the hip-hop community in
Oslo. One day there was an incident and my close friendship with them ended.
They chose to continue the same path without me, increasingly becoming more
active in criminal and violent activities and more into drugs.
Q: What was your relationship with the so called neo-Nazis, skinheads and right
wing people at that time?
A:
Being so called neo-Nazi, skinhead or right wing in general meant that you were
into Metal rock. I hated Metal rock and I hate it even today. I knew a few guys
from my age group growing up, Edward, Nils and 5 others. They attended the same
school as us and a couple of them were uniformed skinheads at this time. I know
they never really believed in the National Socialist ideology, they were more
anti-immigrant and wanted to state a point rather than anything else. I had
known them vaguely for several years but I didn’t have a lot in common with
them. Most people at my school had a good relationship with them, myself
included. They didn’t cause any problems, weren’t violent and respected the
rules, unlike us. The exception was Arsalan who had a clash with Edward at one
time. Arsalan was one of the very few Pakistanis at my school.
As for the right wing community at that time, it was simple. They loved metal
and we loved hip-hop. Being into the very small right wing community or the
larger mainstream rock community meant Goth girls and hard rock. I disliked
both. The big irony was that they; Edward and his friends, were a lot more
“normal” than us during this period. They were peaceful while we were violent.
They followed the law and rules while we broke the law and ignored the rules
again and again. At the same time, the hip-hop community was cheered by the
media, praised as the pinnacle of tolerance among the new generation, while THEY
were condemned for their political views, systematically harassed and beaten by
non-white gangs, extremist Marxist gangs (Blitz etc) and the police. It’s quite
ironic and shamefull.
The irony and hypocrisy becomes absolute considering the fact that a large core
of the hip-hop movement through rappers like Tupac, Nas, Lauryn Hill or other
artists like Bob Marley etc. are in essence quite racist and anti-European in
nature. Yet, millions of ethnic European youths love their music. We obviously
didn’t create these rules. We just chose to go with the flow at that time as
most people did and still do today. The deeper meaning of their texts didn’t
bother us much.
The lefties/hip-hop movement, including the Pakistani gangs and other minority
gangs – in cooperation with SOS Rasisme and Blitz were notorically and
systematically violent, even racist and discriminating towards ethnic Norwegian
youths and anti-immigrant individuals. They abused drugs and many were involved
in criminal activity, yet cheered by the media because of their “tolerance” and
so called “anti-racist” attitude.
Intolerance, racism and acts of Jihad were tolerated against native Norwegians
as the perpetrators were categorised as victims by default (as minorities). They
were seldom punished properly.
I remember the occasional crackdowns on right wing youth movements during this
period. The police raided them several times, called their parents and invested
a lot of resources on squashing the right wing movement all over Norway. Blitz
and other extreme left, SOS Rasisme and the hip-hop community on the other hand
received public funding. The Blitz house, a building they had occupied a few
decades earlier, was subsidised and under protection by the government in Oslo
and still is even today. They are often referred to as the “storm troops” of the
Norwegian Labour Party. The government subsidy of the apartment block were Blitz
resides equates to more than 3 million USD per year alone. The violent Marxist
group “SOS Rasisme” receives 2-3 million NOK annually. It’s disgusting.
Anyway, at this time I was 16 years old. I had been somewhat political aware for
2-3 years already and I had grown to be a passive “anti-racist” but against
non-Western immigration. However, the fact that I opposed non-Western
immigration automatically meant that I had become a “racist” according to the
definitions of the “politically correct elites” and the leftists. I therefore
kept this to myself.
Parting with old principles, new alliances
When my friendship with Arsalan, Jon Trygve and Richard ended, I pursued and
further developed a friendship with my old friends Marius and Christen who lived
in my neighbourhood. They were to become my new core of close friends. I also
befriended myself with a predominantly “ethnic Norwegian” gang from Tåsen in
Oslo. Some of them were active on the graffiti front from earlier and that’s how
I first met them. This new “alliance” was also quite useful to create “security”
for the rest of our “vulnerable years”.
I remember once when a gang of Moroccans came to Tåsen (a predominantly ethnic
Norwegian area in the northern part of Oslo) and tried to rob a couple of ethnic
local youths. The Moroccan gang was well known for being notoriously violent,
having robbed and beaten hundreds of ethnic Norwegian youths all over Oslo. We
were at a party at that time. As we heard of the incident we rallied around 20
guys and found the Moroccans near the subway station. We made a deal with them
telling them to never come back for their so called “Jizya raids”. They never
showed their face on Tåsen again as far as I know. Muslim gangs respect people
who respect themselves which is why they have no respect for people who are not
prepared to use violence.
As time went by and we started high school at around 17-18, the situation
changed drastically. The need for security decreased considerably during this
period (mostly because we kept to certain areas). Individuals affiliated with
the Muslim gangs were academically weak and were basically “left behind” or they
selected practical professional studies like mechanics courses or carpentry.
Very few of them had the grades to enter any quality schools in Oslo West. In
this regard the need for security vanished and a type of academic segregation
occurred.
East – West divide
In retrospect, it’s easy to understand why ethnic Norwegians are fleeing Muslim
areas. No one likes to be “subdued” – live in fear, being harassed, beaten and
robbed. The Muslim ghettofication process has been ongoing the last 30 years and
it will continue until there is close to 100% concentrated Muslim areas in Oslo
(the same tendency we see in Paris, London and other large Western European
cities). When I was around 15-16 there was only 1 or 2 schools where the
majority was non-ethnic Norwegian. Now, 15 years later there are around 50
schools on the East side of Oslo where the majority of students are non-natives
and primarily Muslim.
It’s a miracle how I managed to successfully pass through my “vulnerable years”
without being subdued by Muslim gangs even once. I know that there are hundreds,
even thousands of incidents per year (I have personally witnessed around 50
incidents) where ethnic Norwegian youths ranging 14-18 are harassed, beaten,
raped and robbed and it’s getting worse every year. I really don’t envy the new
generations and the challenges that are facing them regarding Muslim
subjugation.
If ethnic Norwegian youth or other non-Muslims attempt to create gangs of their
own (for protection purposes), they are immediately labelled as racists and
Nazis. At the same time numerous Muslim gangs commit thousands of racist acts
each year against ethnic Norwegians and it’s either hushed down, ignored and
therefore tolerated.
The last 20 years more than 100-200 ethnic Norwegians have been killed by
Muslims, a majority by racist or religious/Jihadi motives. Yet, the press are
systematically ignoring this and they attempt to link every single incident to
non-relevant motives like for example the influence of narcotics/alcohol or
blame the accused Muslim of being “psychologically unstable”. Norwegian media
refuse to face the truth of the matter which is that most of these incidents are
religiously and/or racially motivated.
The only incident I can remember where a racist native have killed a non white
was the murder of Benjamin Hermansen, who at the age of 15 years, was murdered
in Holmlia, in Oslo, Norway. The death was racially motivated.
The murder mobilised large parts of the Norwegian population. Throughout the
entire country, marches were organised to protest against the murder, with
nearly 40,000 people participating in Oslo. The Benjamin Prize was established
as a Norwegian prize to counter racism in 2002. The prize is awarded to a school
that actively works against racism and discrimination.
Could this have happened if the victim was native and the aggressors were
Muslims? No, not in a million years! Our politicians are terrified of offending
the Muslim community in any way.
Also, more than 80% of our parliamentarians have never experienced Muslim gangs
with all its ugly manifestations. A great majority of them haven’t even been
raised in Oslo or any large European city with small but dominant Muslim
minorities. They usually move to Oslo as adults and settle in the non-Muslim
areas of the city. Our parliamentarians and media are completely unplugged from
reality, they don’t know what’s going on or they don’t want to know. On the
other hand, the new generations that have experienced this development the last
two decades are all urban, young individuals under 30-35 years. I’m quite sure
the majority of them now vote the Progress Party, Norway’s only anti-immigration
party. Several statistics indicate that indigenous Europeans in Muslim dominated
areas oppose mass Muslim immigration.
Paying the price for multiculturalism – My personal experiences – 8 unprovoked
assaults and multiple threats and attempted robberies by Muslims in Oslo, Norway
Oslo used to be a peaceful city. Thanks to the Norwegian cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist regime they have transformed my beloved city into a
broken city, a bunkered society, a multiculturalist shit hole where no one is
safe anymore, to use blunt language.
The following is an overview of experiences I have had during my youth in Oslo.
I’ve “only” experienced 8 assaults, attempted robberies and multiple threats.
I’ve never actually been severely ravaged, robbed or beaten my Muslims (a broken
nose is the worst thing that occurred) but I know more than 20 people who have.
I know at least 2 girls that have been raped my Muslims and I am familiar with
two more cases in my broader network (1 gang rape). One girl though was cut
badly in the face by Muslims. As such, I guess I should feel lucky or
privileged. I live in Oslo West far away from the nearest Muslim enclave as more
or less all of them are localised on Oslo East. There is little difference in
their level of aggressiveness among the various Muslim groups, regardless if
they are from Pakistan, Iraq, Turkey, Morocco or Albania. I do, however,
acknowledge that only a small proportion of Muslims are so called “Jihadi youth”
but this argument is defeated by the mere fact that the same thing can be said
about the Taliban in Pakistan. The Taliban only makes out 1-3% of the
population, yet they have caused a civil war. It is apparent that dhimmitude and
a bunkered society is the new reality as long as Islam (and individual Muslims)
are allowed to move freely in our societies. Our major cities will remain
“broken” as long as multiculturalism is allowed to be the prevalent ideology, as
long as cultural Marxists are allowed to set the agenda.
15 years
– (when I was 15, time: 20.00) -
Attempted robbery by Pakistani gang
outside a concert. Luckily for me I knew a hardcore Pakistani thug (from the
Pakistani A gang in Oslo) who told them I was under his protection.
There have been approximately 10 other threatening situations where me and my
friends were unharmed.
16 years –
(Time: 16.30) - Assault – an older
and much stronger/bigger Pakistani hit me without provocation in front of
Majorstuenhuset. Apparently, he wanted to subdue me in front of my “friend”
Arsalan who apparently had told him to do it. This concluded, for my part, my
friendship with him and I
re-connected with my old friends after this incident. However, this restricted
my territorial freedoms, as I was no longer under the protection of the Oslo
Ummah. From now on we would have to arm ourselves whenever we went to parties in
case Muslim gangs showed up and we usually chose to stay in our neighbourhoods’
on Oslo West.
17 years –
(Time: 01.30) - Attempted assault and
robbery - Us 2, them 3: 2 Pakistanis and 1 wannabe-Pakistani. We were
actually heading home after being on the same party together. The
wannabe-Pakistani suddenly turned on me without provocation
and rallied the
other two. Me and my friend had to run as we were unarmed at the time.
17 years –
(Time: 23.30) - Assault and attempted
robbery - Us 10, them 12 Moroccans. Location Tåsen, Oslo.
They were robbing (collecting Jizya) and beating local kafr/Norwegian kids at
Tåsen center, they had done this on numerous occasions. They didn’t live there
but travelled to Tåsen from a Muslim enclave on Oslo East. I was at a party on
Tåsen when we heard they had just beaten one of my friends younger brothers. We
went there to chase them away from the neighbourhood. They had weapons, we had
weapons. I was hit with a billiard pool in the head. Result of the fight: we
made a deal with them, they promised they would never return and harass the
Tåsen youngsters again.
18 years –
(Time: 01.00) - Assault by Pakistani
gang outside a club. A friend of mine was attacked without provocation by a gang
of 6. I told him to run as they outnumbered us. Result: broken nose.
19 years –
(Time: 02.00) - Attempted robbery by
two Pakistanis at a bar. I had my friends nearby so I told them to fuck off or I
we would bash their faces in (an effective psychological deterrent, most
Pakistani thugs have a Neanderthal mentality so to show weakness will only
invite to abuse etc;p). Pakistanis are usually a lot more cowardly than Northern
African Muslims though (I wouldn’t have tried that strategy on Moroccans’).
20 years –
(Time: 22.00) - Threats and attempted
assault - Us 3, them 4. Me and two friends were about to order at Burger
King when a Norwegian girl crossed the food queue. As she went by she pushed me,
saying; “MOVE, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!. Needless to say, I was very surprised and I
managed to stutter the words; “suck my dick, bitch”, while perplexed. She ran
over to her friends, 4 Moroccans’ sitting at a corner and just waiting to pick a
fight… They approached me (I was alone at the time) and told me they were going
to “fuck me up severely” as soon as I left Burger King. I had tear gas on me, as
I always have when going out late. However, I decided to go with the “deterrent
strategy”, so I called my two friends, Erling, a relatively small adopted
Columbian, and his friend a relatively big Christian Ugandan. Having established
my deterrent, and obviously not interested in fighting these savages (as is my
policy with all Muslim bullies under normal circumstances), I went ahead and
started negotiating, offering the “Muslim whore” an apology. End result was, we
left as a group and had the Muslims follow us until we managed to lose them. The
most annoying things about the encounter is that you really can’t control when
you bump into them again. Luckily, a majority of Muslim savages like them live
on the East side of town.
21 years –
(Time: 01.30) - Attempted assault and
robbery - Us 4, them 4. Me and my best friends; Peter, Marius and Martin
were out clubbing and drinking. This was actually the first time I smoked
(normal cigarettes) and I fainted for a few seconds outside a store not far from
the club. This was the first and only time I have fainted in my life btw, lol.
Apparently, 4 Albanian Muslims saw this incident and figured I would make an
easy target. All 4 of them approached me and tried to rob me. At that time my
friends just arrived and they started to threaten them as well as one of them
pulled out a knife. Obviously, we didn’t want to fight these savages, so we said
we would take out some cash for them in an ATM in the nearby Burger King. We
called the police as soon as we entered. However, this was Saturday night so we
had no luck getting a response. We ordered some food and stayed at Burger King
for a little more than an hour, at which point the Muslim savages had left
(probably busy robbing other victims).
Dhimmitude in Western European major cities
People reading this might ask if I contributed in any way to the above
conflicts. The answer is no (with only one exception, when I replied to the
girl). As all my friends can attest to I wouldn’t be willing to hurt a fly and I
have never used violence against others. Also, me and my friends were quite fit
and self confident during this phase because we worked out a lot. This acted as
a deterrent so we were rarely targeted by Muslims. If we wanted to we could have
harassed and beaten up dozens of Muslim youth. However, as we didn’t share their
savage mentality, violence was pointless. We therefore avoided confrontations as
often as humanly possible. We refused however to allow ourselves to be
restricted to our own neighbourhoods/Oslo West (until the age of 18-19 when we
started high school) which was a part of the reason why we had to travel through
or in the Islamic controlled “no go zones” of Oslo hence the chance of Muslim
assault increased significantly. The main problem in European capital cities
like Oslo is that the government is forcing Norwegian youth and others to attend
the same schools as Muslims. There is no culture for private schools in many
European countries. As such, the worst of Muslims are allowed to harass
Norwegian youth (this is especially a problem in the age group 10-18) until we
start high school. At that point the worst of Muslims do not have the grades to
enter any good high schools so they are left behind or they chose practical
study directions. I understand completely why Norwegians are fleeing Oslo East
en masse. No one wants to live in dhimmitude. The problem is however not
restricted to Oslo East. The multiculturalist government is buying apartments on
Oslo West and assigns them to Muslim asylum seekers and other “underprivileged”
Muslims and is thus infecting healthy areas with the savagery of Islam.
I represent generation Y, the offspring of the baby boomers/68 generation. I
guess in many ways my generation are the first who had to live under
dhimmitude/Islamic/multiculturalist tyranny. This applies to a large proportion
of youngsters (10-18) living in major cities close to or in large Muslim
enclaves/ghettos at least.
In addition to the above, I’ve been threatened on 10 occasions with beatings etc
but it has never materialised due to diplomacy/counter threats. I’ve had dozens
of friends and acquaintances experience the same thing (threats, beatings). I
suspect that a couple of girls I know have been raped by Muslims although this
is extremely taboo so people rarely hear about it (and they refused to admit). I
originally didn’t plan to reveal any of these details due to the fact that
people might insinuate I had become prejudice in any way. I don’t feel anger at
all towards Muslims, or so called Jihadi youth, as a result of this. In fact, I
completely understand why they act in this manner. It is perfectly normal for
many Muslims to behave this way as it is the Islamic way. Anyone with a basic
understanding of Islam and Middle Eastern cultures, and who has lived in Muslim
communities as a kafr/dhimmi can attest to this. The problem isn’t the
individuals but the Islamic doctrines and culture. The problem can only be
solved if we completely remove those who follow Islam. In order to do this all
Muslims must “submit” and convert to Christianity. If they refuse to do this
voluntarily prior to Jan. 1st 2020, they will be removed from
European soil and deported back to the Islamic world.
I’m glad to see that it is growing up new generations of Europeans (in the
thousands) in major cities who have suffered under dhimmitude/Islamic tyranny
and absolutely hate the system and the people responsible (category A and B
traitors) who has facilitated and continue to facilitate the Muslim colonisation
of Europe. It will not be difficult to find recruits for pan-European
resistance/liberation movements like the PCCTS, Knights Templar as the current
development escalates.
Q: Did your experiences at young age shape your current view on Islam and
Muslims in the West?
A:
Yes and no. At that time I knew very little about Islam. The official view on
Islam, portrayed by our academic institutions teaches us that Islam is a
peaceful and tolerant religion. I had no knowledge about the concepts of Jihad,
Dhimmitude, Jizya, Ummah, Taqiyya, Quranic abrogation, Wahhabism, Salafism, and
Saudi Arabia’s role in spreading the latter. However, my friendship with Muslims
triggered an interest for Islam and politics in general. This was the deciding
factor why I chose to study the topics further.
Q: Can you tell us briefly about your time during high school and up until now?
A:
I broke with the hiphop movement and my network when I was 16 and later joined
the Progress Party youth movement, a moderate cultural conservative youth
movement of the Progress Party. This became the period where I decided I wanted
to dedicate my life to politics in order to contribute to change the system.
I identified myself, during this time, as a cultural conservative, economical
liberalist (from age 16 to 21). During this time I studied all the major
ideologies in depth, everything from Marxism, socialism, Islam, fascism,
nationalism, capitalism etc. I became increasingly interested in the libertarian
school of thought (extreme liberalism and laissez faire capitalism) due to, my
then capitalistic/self serving mindset”. This mindset completely collided with
my increasing interest for cultural identity and a more traditionalist
conservative school of thought. At this point I had a hard time deciding what
would be the driving force in the rest of his life – self interest or
nation/cultural identity? Could it be combined? I understood early that
libertarianism was not a sustainable political concept. If everyone acted in an
egotistical manner in combination with the doctrines of multiculturalism the
nation and people would wither and society would eventually fracture and seize
to function.
I was politically active within the cultural conservative Progress
Party/Progress Party Youth from the age of 16-21(22). I eventually concluded
that it would be impossible to change the system democratically and left
conventional politics.
I was very ambitious early on. When I started high school I had already decided
to choose economics as my main academic direction. I was inclined on pursuing a
career within business and finance. After my first year of high school I decided
to step up the pace so I completed half of my third year courses during my
second year. I was quite happy with my grades and got 6 (A+) on certain
subjects. This left me with a lot of spare hours during my last year which was a
bit frustrating. There were no high school courses for gifted individuals who
wanted to take the courses in two years.
At this point I was already trying to decide which higher education to pursue.
The problem was that I wanted “Small Business Administration”, which under US
standards goes under Bachelor of Business Administration. Unfortunately, no such
“entrepreneurial” degree existed in Norway and the only equivalent is
“Siviløkonom” (BBA + 1 year). As a result, I decided to pursue and complete my
higher education informally, acquiring my personally composed curriculum,
consisting of economics, finance, sales and marketing, e-commerce, web site
development etc. This way I could compress my studies avoiding subjects that
weren’t relevant in “entrepreneurial activity”. My new curriculum was a hybrid
between AIU and BI business courses and I would use the next three years to
focus on these studies.
Q: Can you describe your education and CV?
A:
I was considering pasting in by complete and updated CV. However, I don’t want
to make my past network public and I don’t think it would be that relevant.

Oslo Handelsgymnasium/Hartvig Nissen High School
Board positions, professional activities, responsibilities
2003:
Candidate for the Oslo City Council election on behalf of the Oslo Progress
Party. This was during the
“crossroad” when I was in the process of deciding whether I would fully abandon
conventional politics (and a career within conventional politics) as a
solution/source to acquire funds for the future operation or if I would rather
leave conventional politics altogether and rather focus on
entrepreneurship/business as the source for financing my future and clandestine
participation in the pan-European Conservative Revolutionary
Movement/pan-European Resistance Movement. As you already know I became one of
the founding members of the PCCTS, Knights Templar in 2002 and among the very
first Justiciar Knight Commanders. However, regardless of this choice, I was not
completely convinced I was done with conventional politics. I actually decided
to do a last push (after my pledge to the PCCTS) as I was already nominated on
behalf of the Oslo Progress Party for the City Council election in 2003/2004. I
came relatively close to being elected but was not among the final contestants
due to the fact that the Progress Party Youth (lead by my rival Jøran Kallmyr)
refused, for strategical reasons, to support my candidature. At the time I was
more popular than Jøran but needed the support of the youth organisation (an
organisation I had been a part of for a few years). I don’t blame him for
backstabbing me like that though. After all, he had invested so much more of his
time to the organisation than I had. He deserved it while I didn’t and I would
probably have done the same thing if I was him.
Also, during the “crossroad phase”
I had lost all faith in the Progress Party as a solution to Norway’s rapid
disintegration due to multiculturalism and Islamisation. A moderate cultural
conservative political party like the Progress Party is un-capable of solving
any of our primary problems as they are systematically ridiculed and isolated by
all other political parties and a united media sector. This, even despite of the
fact that they have taken measures and gotten rid of all true nationalists
ending up with only opportunistic career cynisists unwilling to take any
political risks.
The Progress Party is now a part of the problem as they continuously give the
Norwegian people false hope and thus contributes to pacify them. They should
rather be honest and admit that all hopes for the democratical change of the
society is futile and rather encourage all patriotic Norwegians to resist the
multiculturalist regime through armed resistance. Their unwillingness to do this
makes them a central part of the problem and in fact an obstacle to the
liberation of and the reconquista of Norway.
I anticipate that the Norwegian media will persecute and undermine the Progress
Party for my earlier involvement in the organisation. This is not a negative
thing as an increasing amount of Norwegians will then have their “illusions of
democratic change” crushed (if the Progress Party is annihilated by the
multiculturalist media) and rather resorts to armed resistance. From a tactical
and pragmatical viewpoint; the PC Medias defeat of the Progress Party will
benefit the armed National Resistance Movement in Norway. The more moderate
alternatives are persecuted the more likely it is that the average nationalists
illusions of peaceful reform will be crushed, which will lead to him seeking
“other means”. Because at this point, armed resistance and the violent overthrow
of our regime is the only thing that can save us.

Q: You said you were into genealogy?
A:
I am very proud of my Viking heritage. My name, Breivik, is a location name from
northern Norway, and can be dated back to even before the Viking era. Behring is
a pre-Christian Germanic name which is derived from Behr, the Germanic word for
Bear (or “those who are protected by the bear”). Anders (Andreas) is the
Scandinavian equivalent of; English: Andrew, Greek: Andreus, Italian: Andrea,
Russian: Andrey. I have managed to trace the Behring side of my family tree back
to around 1680 and know that the origin of the name reaches all the way back to
a Teutonic German family which used the Bear in their coat of arms. There is a
church in Southern Germany that carries my family’s coat of arms (a black bear
on yellow background) or the coat of arms of my ancestor, Behr/Ber/Bear. It is
likely that I am somehow related to the great Danish explorer Bering (Bering
Island, Bering strait, Bering sea) although I have been unable to trace my
lineage to his particular family branch. As the German Ber/Bear clan grew up to
a millennia ago, they added an h and eventually “ring” to establish a
distinction between the various related families. Animal names violated the
principles of Christendom so adding various endings might have been as a result
of the increasing convertion to Christianity approximately a thousand years ago.
Q: Why did you decide not to formalise your education?
A:
I first got involved with the armed European Resistance Movement when I was
21/22 years old, in 2001/2002. At this point I had made no concluding decisions
whether to go ahead with any specific operation or not. I still felt I had to
learn more. The nature of the network structure at that point allowed for a
substantial degree of self-organisation. I didn’t have to swear to any specific
operation. We only swore to the pre-defined principles which included among
other things to protect the free peoples of Europe by working for the liberation
of Western Europe from the grasp of cultural Marxist hegemony (I have specified
this more accurately in another chapter). When I decided to go ahead with the
operation in 2002/2003 there were still several opportunities to back down.
Formalising my education and to continue official studies at a registered
university would be counter-productive as it would side track my involvement in
other sub-tasks. I would not have enough time to run my company and building a
financial platform for a future operation. Also, there would be no professor
within the field of political science that would approve my thesis on master/PhD
level. More or less every professor in that field is politically
correct/cultural Marxists and would reject any thesis/work presented of cultural
conservative and especially revolutionary nature. Formalising your education is
all about prestige and the possibility of working for various organisations. I
care little about prestige and even less for the opportunities to work for
“publicly approved” politically correct entities. It was therefore no incentive
whatsoever for me to invest so many of my resources in formalising my education
in any of the fields that interested me.
Q: Can you describe your strengths and flaws as an individual?
A:
I’m an extremely patient and a very positively minded individual. I have
obviously changed my ways over the years and am now driven by idealistic goals
and work for the interests of my countrymen and all Europeans. Most people would
not acknowledge the work yet (nor are they likely to appreciate it during my
lifetime) but this is an irrelevant fact for me. With time they will understand
what is going on around them and that what we are trying to accomplish will
benefit not only them, but most importantly their children and grandchildren.
As for current flaws in my personality I guess have many stereotypical flaws. F
example; I sound quite self righteous at times and I don’t like admitting it
when I’m wrong, although I usually do. I still have a relatively inflated ego,
with a constant need to feed on an intellectual level. This is a quite common
flaw and I try to suppress it although I know I fail as most people do. Also,
over the years I’ve generally been perceived as quite arrogant (even downright
unpleasant at times, the last few years). This is likely due to the fact that I
do not care as much as I did for creating or preserving social relationships due
to my life choice. I guess it is also due the way I choose my rhetorical
approaches, which is to a certain degree only an indirect defensive mechanism.
I, as most people, like to think I have a superb self confidence. But people who
show signs of arrogance usually often use deliberate defensive manifestation to
camouflage intellectual or social insecurity or perhaps they just don’t care. I
guess the root to a majority of human flaws is linked to mans fundamentally
flawed nature. We want acknowledgement, appreciation and/or love so we strive to
be as perfect as we can be. These human instincts often undermine the need for a
pragmatical mindset. As for social skills or skills facilitating interaction and
communication with oterhs; I know I mastered them a lot better before I started
my self-engulfing studies several years ago. Social skills is an art form that
requires continuous practice, and many of the people I know are masters at it. I
know I could be as well but it would require a different lifestyle. I do not
accept or acknowledge many of the established “social rules” as I view it as
irrelevant noise which takes us away from what is needed of us at this point in
time. In any case; a majority of devout intellectuals have significant social
flaws due to the fact that their choice of life (theoretical analysis) usually
results in a scenario where they are “unplugged” from the “game” for too long.
At which point they would need at least a year or two studying/updating the
fundaments of social rhetorical engagement). In depth analysis and theoretical
studies doesn’t exactly go hand in hand with advancing your social skills which
is more related to the skills of interaction and communication; sales,
entertainment and manipulation. Unfortunately, many of my friends who are
masters at it are apolitical and usually end up wasting their superb social
skills on manipulating women into one night stands. If I were to focus on the
social aspects of the conservative revolution (instead of the intellectual) I
would rather use these abilities for something useful; for political
consolidation/recruitment purposes. However, it is very hard to be a master at
theoretical analysis and master social skills as it is in many ways the
anti-thesis of each other. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a flaw but the area of
social skills I have neglected the most is; “Game” interaction - PC small talk,
entertaining skills/PC humour. I simply do not want to waste my limited time on
BS or irrelevant social noise.
Individual flaws are very often related to the flaws of society. I used to be a
relatively self centered, arrogant individual who didn’t care much for anyone
except my closest friends and family. I used to have pretty shallow ambitions
where the goal of personal acquisition of wealth, gaining admiration from other
shallow individuals and the attempt of gaining unlimited access to sex and
parties was the driving force behind my existence. Pretty pathetic when you
think about it really, but it’s as we know quite common in a society in complete
moral decay where you are completely detached from your extended family, your
community, the Church and with little national and cultural identity and pride
etc. It’s a natural result of a fanatically consumerist society where the
highest virtue and the essence of your existence is based on feeding your own
ego. You become a zombie where the highlight of your day is purchasing a 1000
Euro garment or a 100 Euro sushi meal, or getting a blowjob from someone you met
outside the toilet at a club that Saturday. On your way home you see a girl
getting gang-raped by 4 Somalis. You don’t offer it much thought as the slag
probably had it coming anyway... Why should you risk your health for someone you
don’t know? And the poor Somalis are probably only acting out as a result of
centuries of European colonialism. Poor fellas. Society should take
responsibility and offer these underprivileged individuals better accommodations
and more rights, perhaps affirmative action would ensure that they feel at home,
that they finally would like us? How can we be so cruel and treat them this way?
You work 9-10 hours a day, come home, eat, work out a couple of hours to keep
fit, take your regular tanning, spa and Botox session and don’t really have time
for much else. Your concerns are not for the well being of your family – close
or extended, your neighbours, your kinsmen or countrymen, about the outlook for
your country or your compassion for others, but rather the frightening scenario
of being alone in this world. You don’t want children because in essence you are
a child yourself without responsibility or concern for anyone but yourself. Your
only concern is how you can get your next dopamine fix, through and endless
spiral of feeding your own ego.
When I was at the top of my game, I had everything. At least, I thought I had
everything when in essence I had lost everything. The problem was that you
simply want more and more, you never get enough and you end up being put down
when you are unable to exceed past achievements. It’s a never ending cycle you
really can’t beat. As for politics you deliberately place your head in the sand.
You know what’s going on but your very existence (your image) is based around
the “game” which requires you to be 100% politically correct. So you can’t
really say to anyone what you think and feel without risking losing face or
denting your image. Even if you might dare to speak your mind, you are unwilling
to suffer for your ideas so you justify to yourself that the only rational
approach is to ignore thinking about it all together. Most people going that
road realises at one point in life that it’s a pretty shallow existence. They
long for something better but are trapped by the unofficial “rules of the game”
propagated through every aspect of society. At that point you are 30-40 years +
without a family, without children. It’s the destructive and suicidal “Sex and
the City” lifestyle (modern feminism, sexual revolution) which we are taught to
revere as the truth. In that setting, men are not men anymore, but metro sexual
and emotional beings that are there to serve the purpose as a never-criticising
soul mate to the new age feminist woman goddess. The perfect matriarchy has now
been fulfilled and complete equality has finally been achieved. The fact that
mankind will seize to exist within three generations with this type of regime is
irrelevant. Long live cultural Marxism!
Anyway, I came to realise many of my flaws years ago and acted upon them. I have
never been happier than I am now. A flawed, destructive and suicidal society
will breed mentally damaged, corrupt and self serving individuals. It’s our
responsibility to change the very base code of society’s corruption. It’s our
duty to destroy the fundamental political doctrines of cultural Marxism.
Q: Do you consider yourself as an optimist as for the future of Europe?
A:
I’m very optimistic. The question we must ask ourselves is; how do we defeat a
self-defeating ideology? It’s rather self explanatory; cultural Marxism/
multiculturalism, especially in combination with Islam, will defeat itself. The
reasoning behind this claim is that the cultural Marxist and Islamic alliance
will not last. As soon as Islam reaches a few percent it begins to show signs of
chauvinism which is the essence of any fascist, racist and imperialistic
ideology. Muslims who follow the Quran are simply too aggressive and impatient
and they will simply be unable to keep the peace for long. Ghettofication in
combination with demographical warfare (which is in fact the very definition of
indirect ethnic cleansing) will go hand in hand with systematical rape,
ravaging, brutalisation and killing of us non-Muslims. One point in the future a
window of opportunity will arise for us. Until that day comes, we must prepare,
plan, recruit, arm ourselves through self education but also by acquiring
weapons and armour. We must educate and enlighten as many Europeans as possible
but most importantly continue the armed resistance. When that window of
opportunity comes, we must be ready to seize political and military control
using all means necessary. When the time comes, we must not hesitate, we must
risk everything for the chance to gain our freedom and secure the freedom for
our kinsmen once more.
I know I will die fighting the overwhelming cultural Marxists/multiculturalist
forces in phase 1 and that’s not a problem for me at all. I have prepared
mentally for a very long time and I will gladly sacrifice my life for the
benefit of my European brothers and sisters. My love for them exceeds my own
self serving interests. That’s not the kind of person I used to be, but it’s the
type of person I have become. My hate and contempt for the cultural
Marxists/multiculturalist doctrines is definitely there. However, as with most
individuals, love and hate fuels us. Passion and motivation is converted into
action. Some people are overwhelmed with hate or love. It’s essential that we
don’t allow the passion to control us. It’s critical that we are cool and act
rationally with a long term perspective. Our day will come, have no doubt about
it. Just act rationally in the mean time and don’t sell your life cheaply. Make
sure you have many children or fight for the armed resistance movement. You may
fight with the pen or with the sword, every effort counts!
Q: Are you a religious man, and should science take priority over the teachings
of the Bible?
A:
My parents, being rather secular wanted to give me the choice in regards to
religion. At the age of 15 I chose to be baptised and confirmed in the Norwegian
State Church. I consider myself to be 100% Christian. However, I strongly object
to the current suicidal path of the Catholic Church but especially the
Protestant Church. I support a Church that believes in self defence and who are
willing to fight for its principles and values, at least resist the efforts put
forth to exterminate it gradually. The Catholic and Protestant Church are both
cheering their own annihilation considering the fact that they embrace the
ongoing inter-faith dialogue and the appeasement of Islam. The current Church
elite has shown its suicidal face, as vividly demonstrated last year by the
archbishop of Canterbury's speech contemplating the legitimacy of Shariah in
parts of Britain.
I trust that the future leadership of a European cultural conservative hegemony
in Europe will ensure that the current Church leadership are replaced and the
systems somewhat reformed. We must have a Church leadership who supports a
future Crusade with the intention of liberating the Balkans, Anatolia and
creating three Christian states in the Middle East. Efforts should be made to
facilitate the de-construction of the Protestant Church whose members should
convert back to Catholicism. The Protestant Church had an important role once
but its original goals have been accomplished and have contributed to reform the
Catholic Church as well. Europe should have a united Church lead by a just and
non-suicidal Pope who is willing to fight for the security of his subjects,
especially in regards to Islamic atrocities.
I fully support that the Church gains more or less monopoly on religion in
Europe (government policies, school curriculum etc at least) in addition to
granting the Church several concessions which have been taken from them the last
decades.
As for the Church and science, it is essential that science takes an undisputed
precedence over biblical teachings. Europe has always been the cradle of science
and it must always continue to be that way.
Regarding my personal relationship with God, I guess I’m not an excessively
religious man. I am first and foremost a man of logic. However, I am a supporter
of a monocultural Christian Europe.
Q: Which types of individuals and which current national political system do you
admire the most?
A:
As for individuals, I admire anyone who contributes to further humanity
scientifically, culturally, technologically, militarily and economically. I
admire individuals who act selflessly and/or contribute through personal
sacrifice in one way or the other.
As for current national political systems, I especially admire the Japanese,
South Korean and Taiwanese system. These three countries reject multiculturalism
outright and have instead focused on maintaining and protecting their
monoculture. They have managed to copy and implement the most advantageous
mechanics from Europe and the US (in terms of educational, scientific,
technological and economical mechanics) but have at the same time rejected
cultural Marxism to a large degree. There is still room for improvement but they
have managed to adapt quite well in the world and should be viewed as an
inspiration for future cultural conservative governments.
Q: Any advice to a future cultural conservative tribunal/government?
A:
Most aspects are already covered in the compendium. Implementing a cultural
conservative agenda is essential but don’t go overboard with the changes in a
short amount of time. Be patient and don’t let short term impatience or greed be
your undoing. Learn from past mistakes. Sometimes it’s best to seek a gradual
transformation rather than turning everything upside down too quickly. The goal
is to create a long term and sustainable cultural conservative society which
often will require you to make unfavourable short term concessions. Use
strategic populism for what it’s worth and be careful not to rob people of too
many freedoms.
Q: Which individual or organisation deserves the Nobel Peace Prize?
A:
As some of us already know, the Nobel Institute is controlled by the
EUSSR/USASSR criminal hegemony. I would probably award it to someone who fights
hate ideologies like multiculturalism (European hate-ideology), as very few are
aware of the true nature of this under-analyzed political model.
Q: Why don’t you mention the liberation of the US (from multiculturalism,
suicidal humanism and Islamisation) in your book?
A:
It is not our place to dictate or tell our European-American brothers and
sisters what to do or not do. Whatever they decide, we Europeans will support
them 100%. But of course, we are aware that they are in a somewhat similar
situation. The democrats are supporting mass-Muslim immigration for the votes,
while the Republicans want cheap labour. They do not have any political party at
all representing them. However, we know that they are monitoring the European
situation closely and are thus likely to respond based on our course of action.
When the traitor government in France falls within the next seven decades it
will act as a domino effect which might also result in an American right wing
coup.
Q: Who is your favourite contemporary author and why?
A:
That would be Fjordman. Despite a
couple of attempts, I have not been able to meet with him even though he is
Norwegian. He is quite paranoid which is understandable to a certain degree I
guess. Many have asked if I am
Fjordman, but this is obviously not the case. To be honest, I had no idea who he
was until I was six months into my current compendium, “2083”. At that time I
had researched most of the primary and secondary topics for my book. To my great
surprise I found that Fjordman had written about many of the same topics I was
writing about. The only difference being that he was a professional essay writer
and I was not. Our views are quite similar with the exception of me being an
actual armed resistance fighter. I had researched hundreds of writers in the
past, many of whom are good. However, I really felt a connection to Fjordmans
essays. He is most likely the most talented right wing essay writer in Europe.
Another factor that separates him from everyone else is that he really wants to
contribute. He writes because he really wants to contribute to change Europe,
unlike many other right wing intellectuals who are more concerned about feeding
their egos. I have the impression that some are opportunists who simply want to
milk the cow for as long as possible. People that really want change will not
trademark their work indefinitely but instead see that their intellectual works
are distributed to as many Europeans as possible on as many languages as
possible. This is not possible as long as the authors on the field trademark
their intellectual work and do whatever they can to limit the distribution. I
can understand that they need to earn enough for food and rent etc. However, if
they want to make a real difference instead of being viewed as “intellectual war
profiteers and opportunists” they will have to contribute by making their
intellectual property available for all Europeans. We are in the middle of the
war and many of them are not contributing as much as they could.
Fjordman and every writer out there who makes their intellectual work available
for distribution will be viewed as valuable contributors and they will be
remembered as heroes of the conservative revolutionary movement. Obviously,
everyone should have the opportunity to make a profit, which is why I have
suggested to many that they release their works on two arenas. On one hand, they
can sell their products as usual, while still allowing the armed European
Resistance Movement to distribute their works freely, without legally
persecuting everyone who does.
Q: Do you party a lot and what about a girlfriend/wife?
A:
I have partied a lot since I was 16 and I still do (with the exception of the
five last year’s where I have lived a lot more ascetic). We just celebrated my
friend Peters 30th birthday with five of my best friends (total of 12
people) in Budapest. We spent five
days there partying and celebrating. I haven’t consumed that many Absolute and
Redbulls since I was in Las Vegas;) We had an amazing five days. But people at
our age start to settle down, so we will party less in the future. Family will
always take priority over socialising but of course that doesn’t mean that you
can’t travel occasionally for a weekend and party hard.
I guess I had a more normal life until I chose my current path. The path of the
Justiciar Knight isn’t really compatible with that of person seeking to
establish a family. I have traditionally been too ambitious and self centered to
focus on a serious long term relationship as is quite “normal” under our current
regime/social structures. Most of my friends are still very much how I used to
be, living normal privileged lives some with relationships, some single. Since I
broke with my normal life (old life) I have lived quite ascetic, a lifestyle
that wouldn’t appeal to that many. However, if I wanted to I could have more or
less everything I set my mind on. I consider myself to be very resourceful,
economically privileged, well educated (although I would probably have to
formalise my education if I ever wanted to work for someone else), fit and very
happy with my physical appearance. Nevertheless, when I had acquired my millions
(which was my old goal in life) I found it all to be very superficial and
disappointing. I grew tired of “the game”, which re-enforced my opinion that I
should rather strive to become a better man. I grew from being a so called
“arrogant self centered fuck” who didn’t care about anyone except myself, my
family and friends to something better. I wanted to improve myself morally and
seek a more responsible level so I became a better man. I had to pay a high
price though. I left several aspects of my old life behind and had to completely
re-establish myself on an existential level. It was hard because everyone I used
to know felt I had abandoned them. I never burned any bridges though which might
explain why many of them are still pressuring me to “come back”. Obviously, I do
not intend to. If they knew my real intentions my cover would be blown and I
would risk being exposed. I cannot allow that to happen.

b.
Budapest, the architecture and cultural treasures are amazing, nightlife and
people exceptional. Valetta, Malta is extremely impressive as well. A perfect
balance of culture and nightlife. The architecture and historical sites in
Valetta are amazing. Everyone should study the history of Malta as it was
Western Europes frontline against Jihad for centuries and its history,
architecture and historical sites reflect this. I did enjoy Las Vegas as well
but I really dislike the superficial aspects of American society. The American
state I found least superficial was Texas. I still love so many aspects of US
cultural though. It’s hard not to love it, but there is no place like European
metropolitans. Biggest shit hole: it must be Ivory Coast and Liberia.

My Ipod + my Breitling Crosswind, chronograph.

Q: Name one living person you would like to meet?
A:
The Pope or
Vladimir Putin. Putin seems like a fair and resolute leader worthy of respect.
I’m unsure at this point whether he has the potential to be our best friend or
our worst enemy though. He’s very hard to psychoanalyze. I wouldn’t want to be
his enemy, that’s for sure. Obviously, he has to openly condemn us at this point
which is understandable.
Q:
Other people you would want to meet?
A:
The following people have to condemn us at this point which is fine. It is after
all essential that they protect their reputational shields.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Geert Wilders, Radovan Karadzic,
Lee Myung-bak and Taro Aso.
But isn’t Radovan Karadzic a mass murderer and a racist?! As far as my studies
show he is neither. The Muslims in Bosnian Serbia; the so called Bosniaks and
Albanians had waged deliberate demographic warfare (indirect genocide) against
Serbs for decades. This type of warfare is one of the most destructive forms of
Jihad and is quite similar to what we are experiencing now in Western Europe. He
offered the Muslims in Bosnian Serbia the chance to convert or leave the country
(the same standard deal Christians are offered in many Muslim countries), he
even went as far as offering the Muslims certain enclaves. When they refused he
wanted to deport them by force. When this was made impossible by NATO he gave
the order to fight the people who refused which was his sovereign right and
responsibility as one of the primary leaders of Serb forces. This was never
about ethnicity but about ridding the country of the genocidal hate ideology
known as Islam. I do condemn any atrocities committed against Croats and vice
versa but for his efforts to rid Serbia of Islam he will always be considered
and remembered as an honourable Crusader and a European war hero. As for the
NATO war criminals, the Western European category A traitors who gave the green
light, they are nothing less than war criminals.
Q: Have you ever broken the law before?
A:
I made art/damage on various walls without permission when I was very young
(graffiti phase from age 13-16). In retrospect I understood that it wasn’t a
very nice thing to do. I was fined once and had to spend two weeks with a friend
scrubbing busses. I haven’t done anything illegal since then.
Q: Hobbies and interests?
A:
Friends, fitness (weightlifting and spinning), snowboarding, opera, theatre, art
exhibitions, antiquities, MMOs,
science fiction, Freemasons, European architecture, European history, European
art in general, genealogy, heraldry, political/stock/currency/commodity
analysis, travelling - learning about different cultures.
Annual grouse hunting trip, Oslo Pistol Club, Norwegian Masonic Greater Lounge.
I took a year off when I was 25 and played WoW PvE hardcore for a year.
Conservatism - Alliance, human female mage – PvE, Server: Silvermoon
Conservative - Horde, tauren female resto druid – PvP, Server: Silvermoon
I raided hardcore and was a guild leader in a couple of hardcore guilds: Virtue,
then Unit, Nordrassil – Rank 1 Alliance PvE. We transferred the guild to
Silvermoon. I grew tired of running the guild and sorting recruitment issues so
I joined Nevermore, another hardcore guild on Silvermoon (Rank 3). Silvermoon is
the most progressed Alliance server in the world out of more than 300 servers
(10 million + players worldwide) so the competition is extremely hard. This
means we were one of the most progressed guilds in the world at one time. I can
honestly say running a hardcore WoW guild is equally challenging to running your
own business with 7 employees or more. It requires an extreme amount of work in
order to be successful and get server first kills. It was a good experience and
something I wanted to do at least a limited amount of time during a period of my
life.
I’m currently playing Modern Warfare 2 casually.
Q: Personal achievements that you are most proud of?
A:
I started the early stage of the planning phase (financing the operation) around
2002 by developing a company from scratch: Anders Behring Breivik ENK later
converted to E-Commerce Group AS. During the next years I had a total of 7
employees in five different countries: 1 person in the US, 2 in Russia, 1 in
Romania, 1 in Indonesia and 2 in Norway. From year 2002 to 2006 I made
approximately 4 million NOK. The business concept was the outsourcing of
programming services to clients in the US and Europe by using labour in
Indonesia, Russia and Romania. The products ranged from web sites to advanced
software solutions.
As noted, this, the financing stage, was as you may know a sub-task of a bigger
operation, which is still in progress. The creation of this compendium is
actually a larger and more central task in this process, as I would never have
had enough funds to create it if wasn’t for my earlier financial/business
ventures. The actual military operation is also a sub-task as well as it is a
marketing method for the distribution of this compendium among other things.
Q: Military experience?
A:
None. I avoided the mandatory draft service when I was 18 because I didn’t feel
any loyalty to the ruling political parties. I understood from early age that
dying for your country would involve fighting your own leading political
parties, not serving them.
Q: When did you first begin to study stock charts?
A:
At the age of 15. I remember I spent half an hour every single day checking the
tickers in Aftenposten, a national newspaper. At the age of 17 I started
speculating quite aggressively with call options. I was too young so I had to
fax over a written notice from my mum. Unfortunately, due to a correction later
that year I managed to lose all my capital, 100 000 NOK which was my life
savings. This put me off from stocks for a few years.
Q: Are you a social type with a positive attitude?
A:
I’ve always been good at socialising, getting to know new people. However, after
a while, you understand that you only have the capacity to prioritise a limited
select network of people. Being optimistic and positive is essential, especially
when working with something that can be a bit depressing at times. Take a time
out, make your favourite smoothie, work out or check out the newest DVD of your
favourite sjanger, or whatever cheers you up! It’s important to enjoy life even
if we work with thankless tasks.
Q: Do you still consider yourself a capitalist?
A:
Yes and no.
I oppose globalist capitalism as globalist firms have too much political
influence but I support entrepreneurship/capitalistic principles on a local,
regional and national level. It is essential to ensure that entrepreneurs are
awarded with incentives. I was quite bombastic about the issue when I was
younger, very pro laissez-fair capitalism, but not anymore. There are so many
flaws with the capitalistic system and it has to be regulated to a certain
degree. Globalist corporations should be disallowed to lobby for free flow of
human capital (removal of borders, mass immigration etc). I believe in a free
market limited to a European economic bloc that will be geographically limited
to Europe (with Russia), Northern America and Australia. The Muslim world has to
be completely isolated while Christian Africa and Hindu/Buddhist Asia will still
continue to be our trading partners. China should be excluded from WTO as we
obviously are unable to compete with them demographically. We can’t compete with
a country that has 1,4 billion citizens. Free market is always a good thing to a
certain degree. And yes, I am aware of the fact that with these policies - goods
will be more expensive, but at least we keep the capital within our own
countries and avoid trade deficits to non-European blocks. The reason why the
European economic model will never function in the US is because the lack of
national cohesion is so prevalent there. Ironically, seeing the Islamic
colonisation of Europe the last few decades this is about to happen to Europe as
well. People lose faith in the system and will eventually refuse to allow their
government to excessively taxate them. As long as Europe is ruled by the current
cultural Marxist criminal network, Europeans should do what they can to avoid
excessive taxation by using tax havens where possible. Every European should try
to avoid funding the current tyrannical multiculturalist system.
Concluding questions
Q: How do you view your brothers and sisters who have initiated smaller scale
operations in the past?
A:
I know that tens of thousands of brothers and sister all over Europe are
fighting the good fight every single day. Fighting the cultural
Marxist/multiculturalist alliance every single day. Many have sacrificed
everything already; many are incarcerated and some have even martyred
themselves. The media never write about their courageous and noble acts and the
great majority of us are unknown to most people. The current Western European
multiculturalist regimes are doing everything in their power to suppress our
actions. Silencing us is their weapon of choice. They systematically and
deliberately attempt to blackout everything so that as few people as possible
know that there is an ongoing civil war. They do this to prevent recruitment. As
history has shown so many times, the tide will turn in our favour when people
least expect it. I salute every single brother and sister who contributes day in
and day out! You are the true heroes of the conservative revolution! You inspire
an increasing number of Europeans to follow in our path. Hadn’t it been for the
brave and selfless actions of these European heroes, me and people like me would
not have been inspired. I heard your calling and as a result I did my duty as
many more will continue to do. Hopefully, I will be able to contribute and
inspire others. We will experience many failures and it will get a lot more ugly
before it gets better. However, never forget that thousands of brothers and
sisters are doing all in their power to ensure our success every single day. We
will succeed eventually as multiculturalism is a self-defeating ideology.
Everyone should learn from past mistakes and share the knowledge with others.
Build your networks on Facebook, continue the consolidation and share ideas but
do not incriminate yourself or others needlessly! The reason why most people are
exposed is because they can’t keep their mouth shut; they brag and tell people
they “think they can trust”. People need to be more disciplined, be more
patient, keep their mouth shut and they should do everything solo, especially in
phase 1. When you tell one single person about your plans you are increasing the
chance of exposure by 100%. If you tell 10 individuals you are increasing the
chance of failure to 90-95%. There will come a time when we can work in larger
cells (3-20 people) but not yet. These activities should be delayed until phase
2. Until then, work solo, be disciplined and keep your mouth shut. If you rely
on recognition and encouragement then encourage yourselves based on proven
methods. Follow the guidelines of this book and you will succeed! Keep up the
good work. Believe me when I say, hadn’t it been for your past efforts, I would
never have contributed. You might think that no one cares but there are hundreds
of thousands of Europeans that do care. Reach out to them and focus on
consolidation. You are all heroes of Europe and we salute you!
Q: What would you say to your European brothers and sisters?
A:
Know that you are not alone in this struggle. We have tens of millions of
European sympathisers and tens of thousands of brothers and sisters who support
us fully and are willing to fight by our side. The numbers are increasing
annually as more and more people learn to understand what is going on;
witnessing the cultural Marxist/ multiculturalist/Muslim atrocities and seeing
the Muslim populations increase. Know that you have loyal brothers and sisters
in your country and all around Europe – Great Britain, Russia, France, Germany,
Spain, Italy, Poland, Austria, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Serbia, Norway,
Switzerland, Andorra, Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Greece, Hungary,
Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia,
Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Norway, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia,
Ukraine, Cyprus and the Vatican City. Even Christian Cultural Conservatives in
Moldova and Albania.
“I began the revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I would do it with
10 or 15 who had absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you
have faith and a plan of action.”
Fidel Castro
To be here is a privilege. To see clearly is optional. To do the right thing is
a duty.
It’s critical that you do not allow the frustration and pain to consume you
before you actually manage to contribute. Be pragmatical whatever you choose to
do. There are many ways to contribute to the struggle. Becoming a Justiciar
Knight is just one out of several manifestations of the struggle:
-
Front 1-7 (all non-military), any career/effort that lets you influence others
and society
-
You can be a blogger, spreading the truth about the topics listed in this book.
-
Create a blog today and spread the Conservative Revolution; Wordpress.com,
Blogger.com. Register your blog with nationalist/patriotic/conservative blog
networks so you can stay in touch with others like you. Create a channel on
Youtube or join other patriotic channels. You can publish your videos by
creating an account.
-
You can infiltrate multiculturalist blogs and forums spreading the same
arguments and documentation which will contribute to recruit more and sow doubt
in the hearts of our enemies. Our enemies have thousands of ”internet
apologists” doing the same to us.
-
You may try to influence the democratical process by infiltrating the MA100
political parties (parties supporting multiculturalism) and weaken their resolve
from the inside.
-
You can seek a career in the police force or the military with the goal of
reaching positions where you gain influence when the window of opportunity opens
up within a few decades. The military command is perhaps the most important
arena as it will be extremely important in phase 2 and 3.
-
You can seek a career in any media organisations, particularly the broadcast
media.
-
Academic infiltration is just as important as joining the guerrilla movement in
phase 1. You might not see immediate results but you are playing a crucial role.
-
Another much underestimated task is procreation. By having as many children as
possible and ”moulding them into conservative warriors; to fight with the pen or
the sword” will be the key to our future victory. We need a new generation who
has been shielded from the cultural Marxist/multiculturalist indoctrination
campaigns and we need brothers and sisters who parent these future Europeans
heroes. If you are not willing to sacrifice your own life, then I would strongly
advise you to make babies and ensure that they will be willing to sacrifice
theirs when the time is right.
It’s really important that you focus on enjoying life and having fun in this
process. Being a bitter old goat behind a computer will only drive you to
depression, and defeat. Convert your frustration and anger to motivation and
resolve. Be positive!
Do not act prematurely. We still have decades so use the time wisely. Above all,
do not sell your life cheaply when the time comes!
The selfless struggle and resistance of an ever increasing number of Europeans
has renewed my hope that there is yet great good left within Europe. We can
depart without fear that darkness will prevail in our absence.
“If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.”
Lao Tzu
Conquer your fear like your brothers and sisters have done in the past and we
will re-conquer Europe from the grasp of our disloyal, corrupt and suicidal
cultural Marxist/multiculturalist elites.
“There is no glory like for those who save their country.”
Lord Tennyson
We fight for the free indigenous peoples of Europe, for those not yet born and
for the memory and wishes of our forefathers, our martyrs. We fight to preserve
our culture, our identity, our country and for Christendom.
All participants in the current Phase 1 civil war will be remembered as the
courageous few, the immortal pioneers, true European heroes who had the courage
when no one else did, who stood up against, and still stand up against an
oppressive Marxist tyrant.
We must rise and claim what is rightfully ours! By September 11th, 2083, the
third wave of Jihad will have been repelled and the cultural Marxist/
multiculturalist hegemony in Western Europe will be shattered and lying in ruin,
exactly 400 years after we won the battle of Vienna on September 11th, 1683.
Europe will once again be governed by patriots.
“A revolution always seems hopeless and impossible the day before it breaks out
and indeed never does break out until it seems hopeless and impossible.”
George Bernard Shaw
With discipline, hard work and sacrifice, we will succeed sooner than you might
expect. A single successful “Operation Regime Ender” after Jan. 1st
2020 will lead to a chain of events that eventually ensures that the
multiculturalist EUSSR hegemony collapses. Support the reconquista, support the
PCCTS, Knights Templar!

Personal reflections and experiences during the preparation phases
My closest friends
Marius,
my oldest friend. We have been close since we were eleven years old. We have had
some ups and downs during the last 19 years but we have managed to preserve our
friendship. He is a patriot but relatively a-political. He knows what is going
on but doesn’t really care that much about the future as he is living his life
now. Motto: a week without getting laid is a week without meaning;p He’s a good
guy and I appreciate him. I started the process of de-socialisation 4 years ago
to create a certain distance to my friends (to prevent them from finding out
what I’m using most of my time on).
Axel
and I have been friends since secondary school so it is almost 15 years now. We
have had a couple of ups and downs but have preserved our friendship. Axels’
girlfriend Synne is a staunch Labour Party supporter so there is definitely a
factor of strife there. Axel has embraced a lifestyle where career and family is
in the centre. I’ve never revealed anything about my involvement in the European
Resistance Movement to him. I try avoiding discussing politics with him as we
are ideologically miles apart, especially after he embraced his fiancées
political and world views which are extremely politically correct. I usually
propagate the more moderate Progress Party ideological narrative when discussing
politics with friends and friends of friends. It would be too risky to reveal
anything else about my ideological standpoints. But Synne even thinks the
moderate Progress Party are extreme and she has influenced Axel considerably.
Very annoying but absolutely nothing I can do about that.
Martin
and I have been friends since secondary school so it is almost 15 years now. He
has been a stable friend over the years although he has significant trust issues
due to the fact that he was bullied in his childhood. It is impossible to
connect fully with him due to these psychological limitations but he is still a
good friend. He is the typical apolitical career cynisist:)
Peter
has been my closest friend since we met during our time at Oslo Handelsgymnasium
High School. His parents (Hungarians) fled the Marxist Soviet Union in the 60s.
He knows everything about me. Well, except my involvement in the resistance. I
remember I had to lie to him several years ago, during the time I first
initiated a relationship with the pan-European Resistance Network. He was the
only person who knew I was actually travelling to Liberia and London in 2002 and
I had to forward a credible cover to him. I couldn’t risk trusting him (or
anyone) with my true intentions as it could potentially hurt him or me in the
future. I told him I was travelling to Liberia to research the potential to
smuggle blood diamonds and selling them in London. It was a great and very
credible cover (I spent a couple of weeks preparing it) and he has never
questioned the circumstances around those or any other trips. I’m not the type
of person that takes lying lightly so it was hard for me to lie to him. I wish I
could just tell him everything, but unfortunately I can’t. I know he is far from
as ideologically confident as me so it would be meaningless to tell him and most
importantly; if he knew anything it would incriminate him. Ignorance is blizz…
I have several other relatively close friends but won’t go into details about
all. All of them are apolitical and pretty apathetic when it comes to politics.
Personal reflections and experiences during several preparation phases
April/May 2002
I am the Norwegian delegate to the founding meeting in London, England and
ordinated as the 8th Justiciar Knight for the PCCTS, Knights Templar
Europe. I joined the session after visiting one of the initial facilitators, a
Serbian Crusader Commander and war hero, in Monrovia, Liberia. Certain long term
tasks are delegated and I am one of two who are asked to create a compendium
based on the information I have acquired from the other founders during our
sessions. Our primary objective is to develop PCCTS, Knights Templar into
becoming the foremost conservative revolutionary movement in Western Europe the
next few decades. This in relation to developing a new type of European
nationalism referred to as Crusader Nationalism. This new political denomination
of nationalism will become the foremost counterweight to National Socialism and
other cultural conservative political denominations, on the cultural right wing.
Everyone is using code names; mine is Sigurd (the Crusader) while my assigned
mentor is referred to as Richard (the Lionhearted). I believe Im the youngest
one here.
I am going to discontinue my involvement in the Norwegian Progress Party as I
have lost faith in the democratic struggle to save Europe from Islamification.
After 65 years of harsh political oppression, demonization and ridicule from the
communist-globalist cultural establishment, directed at any and all who opposes
multiculturalism, there are still no indications that this communist-globalist
hegemony will ever allow PP to take control. My party is systematically vilified
and sabotaged by a united media before every single election. And even if they
ever did manage to form a majority government with Høyre (the Conservative
Party) their principles and party program would not be conservative enough to
halt the ongoing Islamic demographic warfare OR increase the ethnic Norwegian
fertility rate from 1,4 to 2,1. The only thing PP has achieved so far is to give
false hope to Norwegians. They say that democratic struggle is the only
solution, when it is clearly already lost. How can we democratically compete
with a regime that is mass-importing hundreds of thousands of new voters? The PP
is pacifying Norwegians by giving them false hope and I refuse to continue to
have any involvement in this. Armed struggle appears futile at this point but it
is the only way forward.
2002-2006
I am required to build a capital base in order to fund the creation of the
compendium. I don’t know if I will ever proceed with a martyrdom operation at
this point as it simply seems too radical.
My plan A is to attempt to acquire 3 million Euro, in which case I plan to
establish a pan-European organizational platform that will attempt to grow
organically as a support organization which will distribute a “legal version” of
the compendium.
If I fail to generate the specified amount I will move forward with the
operation, in order to market the compendium that way.
As of 2005 I have managed to generate 500 000 Euro, but I am still 2,5 million
Euro short. I will attempt to generate the remaining amount through continued
stock/options speculation. I can afford to lose up to 250 000 Euro without it
compromising the completion of the compendium and the subsequent effectuation of
the operation.
Stock/option speculation did not work out. I will need to cut my losses and
proceed to plan B.
After cutting my losses, I now have a
minimum of funds to complete my two tasks (in excess of 250 000 Euro).
2006-2008
Researching and writing the compendium: “A European Declaration of Independence”
Autumn – 2008
I attended a birthday party in Oscarsgate, Oslo. We were attending a birthday
party organised by a good friend of Axels’ girlfriend, Synne. I noticed the
woman who celebrated her birthday was working as a judge. A majority of the
people at the party where jurists - judges and lawyers in the public sector. I
chatted with most of the people at the party. It really struck me how incredibly
politically correct everyone were, as if they were all members of the Norwegian
Labour Party. I have never before experienced a group of people who are
completely freaked out about discussing political issues relating to
multiculturalism and Islamisation. I noticed a majority of these people were
Labour Party sympathisers. I guess they don’t really have a choice considering
the fact that they are all climbing the public sector hierarchy. A thought
occurred. The judges during WW2 who had party affiliations with the NS or any
affiliation with the SS were prosecuted and imprisoned. Is it therefore only
fair that judges of high rank with party affiliations to the Labour Party and
the other parties who support multiculturalism (and therefore Islamisation) is
to be considered category B or C traitors? They obviously have a considerable
responsibility and should be considered traitors of their people. I would
imagine most of them would be considered category C though as their influence is
considerably less prevalent than that of any parliamentarian, editor/journalist
or university professor/lecturer. In any case, nice people though and we had a
good time. If only they had any idea that one of their guests was a Justiciar
Knight of an organisation affiliated with the Norwegian and European Resistance
Movement, I would be thrown out immediately most likely. It is completely
understandable as their careers would be over if they had any affiliation with
such organisations or individuals.
Autumn – 2009 – Birthday party
My best friend, Peters, 30th birthday. We are going to Budapest to
party hard for 5 days. This is my second trip to Hungary. I really love that
country and the people. Clubs in Buda are top notch. Excellent elektronika
scene, among the best in the world. Hungarian girls are hot as hell, too bad I
have to avoid relationships for the good of my mission. Doesn’t hurt having fun
though:D I don’t think I’ve consumed this much alcohol for many years, totally
awesome. My best friends, Martin, Axel, Marius and Peter went down and hooked up
with another band of Norwegians we have known for some years. One of Martins
best friends are Jon-Niclas, really cool guy. He’s a rather well known Norwegian
comedian, together with his partner and friend Anders, and a few others. We had
a lot of fun down there, the ten of us. Most of us know each other from Nissen
High School in Oslo.
Autumn – 2009 - Phase shift
I’m in a phase shift with my project. The compendium is complete and I currently
preparing for the next phase. I’m creating two different and “professional
looking” prospectuses for “business ventures”. A mining company and a small farm
operation. The reasoning for this decision is to create a credible cover in case
I am arrested in regards to the purchase and smuggling of explosives or
components to explosives - fertiliser. In this regard I created a new company
called Geofarm, which might act as a credible cover for such activities. I spent
about 2 weeks cannibalizing an existing Mining prospectus. In addition to the
prospectus I have created I will create two websites and business cards. I also
intend to contact suppliers of equipment related to these industries so that
they may act as future witnesses, collaborating my story, should I ever need it.
If I do get arrested in this “acquirement phase” I figure that they will have a
hard time proving that my intention is to contribute and fight in the ongoing
European civil war. Sure, they will attempt to charge me with terror but they
will not have enough evidence to incarcerate me (due to my covers). Also
considering the fact that I have never done anything illegal in the past. If I
do get caught I will, however, be placed on every imaginable watch list for the
rest of my life and will thus be unable to partake in any advance operation. In
this case I will have to cancel the primary operation and instead go with my
secondary operation of lesser significance. Such is the life of a resistance
fighter.
November – 2009
I’ve spent a few weeks contributing to set up a cultural conservative newspaper
with national distribution in Norway. The idea is to develop Document.no, a
cultural conservative blog into a newspaper company with 12 publications per
year. I’ve developed a relatively complex strategy and forwarded it to Hans, the
editor and manager. I have made a few attempts to seek funding although my
efforts haven’t materialised yet. I tried to formalise cooperation between the
Progress Party and Document (both moderate cultural conservative entities), at
least in an incubation period. However, after discussing this with both FrP and
Hans it would appear as they do not want to take part in any form of cooperation
with eachother. I have spent
approximately 50 hours developing potential strategies for Document.no, pro
bono, but I will have to limit any further involvement due to my primary
operation. Hans Rustad, the leader of Document.no, seems like an odd fellow. I’m
usually excellent in psycho analyzing people but I haven’t figured him out at
all. I know he has a Marxist background and I believe he is in fact something of
a rarity – an actual national Bolshevik, and thus not a real nationalist. He
likes to criticise the multiculturalist media hegemony in Norway but is
completely unwilling to contribute to create any form of political platform or
consolidation. He seems extremely paranoid and suspect of most people and he
likes to attempt to ridicule and mock Fjordman, every time he writes a comment.
Document.no has developed into a kind of moderate cultural conservative think
tank where moderate cultural conservatives exchange thoughts and make comments
on the articles posted. Hans likes to criticise cultural Marxist media (MSM) but
is unwilling to present any solutions or to contribute to any form of
consolidation of an “alternative”. Despite of that, I don’t mind contributing
somewhat as it benefits our cause, regardless.
December – 2009
I’ve now worked with email farming for two months. God, I wouldn’t have imagined
it was going to be this f…… boring:D I’m using Facebook to target various
nationalist related groups and inviting every single member. I’ve managed to
farm approximately 1700 email addresses this way. I did generic swipes of
various blogs and internet sites earlier this year as well. Total number of
email addresses is aprox 3000-5000, haven’t made an exact count yet<3
Ofc, it’s a quite tedious task due to the fact that Facebook has a 50
invitations cap per day. Even with my two accounts I’m limited to inviting a
maximum of 100 per day, where an average of 40-50% accepts. Of these 40-50%
around 90% have email addresses whereas aprox only 50% are checked on a regular
basis. So of 1000 Facebook friends I will achieve a penetration rate of around
20-30%. Not optimal but then again, I can’t think of a more efficient way to get
in direct touch with nationalists in all European countries.
Christmas – 2009
Have been in a few Christmas parties with friends, fun although I’ve gained some
extra kilos:D I’m currently 7 kg overweight up 3-4 kilos the last three months.
I started the hardcore training program a few months ago but chose to end it in
order to complete the book and email farming process. At this point I’ve
extended the writing phase 4 times due to the urge to extend certain chapters.
These delays are starting to severely affect my budget leaving me with less than
42k Euro in direct funds and another 25k in credit. I really need to finalise
this compendium soon and move on to next phase (research into weaponry, armour
and explosives followed by acquirement phase). Will have to destroy my old hard
drives and buy new ones before the research phase, and then destroy these ones
again before acquirement phase. It takes ages to farm quality email addresses
from Facebook. Anyways, moral is on an all time high but physically I’m at an
all time low. I really need to start my training program soon… but still aprox
1-2 months before my time budget allows me to focus on this. Btw, I just read
that an alleged Swedish neo-Nazi group, who allegedly planned to assassinate
Swedish category A and B traitors, had been uncovered in connection with the
theft of the “Arbeit macht Frei sign”. Hmm, I always wondered if these guys are
actually National Socialists or if it’s just typical cultural Marxist
propaganda. Perhaps it’s my fellow co-founder of PCCTS, my sister-cell??? I
guess I won’t find out unless they publish the names. I doubt it though. They
seem to be using the outdated, traditional and vulnerable hierarchical military
cell-model which indicates that they are from an old school and un-related
resistance fraction.
January 2010
I was out with Peter and Didrik today. We had some drinks at Peters bachelor pad
near Bogstadveien, probably the most prestigious place to live for bachelors in
Oslo and not far from where I used to live when I was still in the “game”. We
then went on to a nearby restaurant, had an incredible meal, drank some more and
met Peters girlfriend and her friends. We had a few beers and talked, very
cosy<3 I remember telling Christine about my career as a writer, telling her
that I wasn’t planning on actually selling the book but rather to distribute it
freely in order to more efficiently propagate our cause to a broader audience
(they were all cultural conservative btw). Christine told me that she believed I
was driven by idealism, which is of course true, but that I actually lived my
dream. While I didn’t want to start to argue that particular factor, as I don’t
like appearing like a pooper or to risk blowing my cover, it got me thinking.
Are, we, the reactionary revolutionary conservatives really living our dream or
are we making a sacrifice? To be honest, if I felt that other people could do my
job I would not do what I do, that I can guarantee you. I don’t want to do what
I do, I would rather focus on starting a family and focus on my career again.
But I can’t do that as long as I feel like a person caught in a burning
spaceship with nowhere to go. If you see the ship is burning you don’t ignore it
and start cooking noodles do you? You put out the fire even if it endangers your
life. You don’t enjoy putting out the fire but it is your duty to yourself and
your fellow crewmen. And let’s say your crewmen have been infected with a rare
virus that shuts down their rational senses and they try to stop you from
putting out the fire. You can’t really allow yourself to be stopped by any of
them as it will lead to your collective death. You will do anything to put out
that fire despite of the fact that they are trying to stop you. Anything else
would be illogical.
But sacrificing yourself for others who probably detest you for it doesn’t
necessarily have to be a miserable experience. After all, we have the truth and
logic on our side and we will learn to find rewards and comfort in our actions.
After all, sometimes being uncompassionate is the most compassionate thing you
can do.
Anyway, back to email farming on Facebook, aaaaarrrrggh:/ It’s driving me nuts,
lol. I’m currently working on French leads/FB groups. An extremely tedious and
boring task – preparing quality contacts from scouring patriotic Facebook groups
and sending out 100 select invitations per day (from 2 FB accounts). I’ve been
doing this for 60 days straight now, 3-4 hours per day. FB networking isn’t all
that bad though as you do meet a lot of interesting, like minded people. This is
the main reason why my book has been delayed. I just feel that I must send my
book to at least 10 000 primary nationalists in the European world and I’m
currently at 6000 email addresses. Good vocal trance music makes this task a lot
less boring;). My funds are depleting gradually though; currently at 50 000 Euro
+ 30 000 Euro in credit limits (12 credit cards ftw), which will force me into
the next phase of the operation soon. A usual day for me involves email farming,
writing, sharing “moderate” resources from my book on debate groups to coach
fellow cultural conservatives, smoking, eating chocolate lol, taking a daily 1
hour walk/motivational meditation and doing some occasional battlegrounds in WoW
on my badass Horde resto druid. I just completed Dragon Age Origins not long
ago. A brilliant game!:D It’s important to have fun a few hours every day. I
regret to admit that I’ve become a notorious downloader of pirated movies,
series and games etc. but have noticed that an increasing number of sites have
been closed down lately. Stealing is bad, I admit, but then again, when you have
devoted your entire life to a good cause you can allow yourself some naughtiness
especially if it can contribute to conserve your funds, cough;). Yes, yes, no
ones perfect:P
February 2010
I just bought Modern Warfare 2, the game. It is probably the best military
simulator out there and it’s one of the hottest games this year. I played MW1 as
well but I didn’t really like it as I’m generally more the fantasy RPG kind of
person – Dragon Age Origins etc .and not so much into first person shooters. I
see MW2 more as a part of my training-simulation than anything else. I’ve still
learned to love it though and especially the multiplayer part is amazing. You
can more or less completely simulate actual operations.
I’ve continued with email farming until now, on a daily basis. The email farming
phase is coming towards its end and I will conclude it by at least attempting to
acquire as many email addresses to members of parliament in Western European
countries as possible. Because I think focusing solely on distributing the
compendium to patriots would be a mistake as they have little to no political
influence in the EUSSR/USASSR hegemony. It is important that our enemies know
“how we see what they are doing”. The national intelligence agencies of Europe
will do everything they can to limit its distribution. They will not allow the
parliament members of any nation to read it, so we must send it directly to
them.
It’s a shame I have to purge my 5000 Facebook contacts. It took so much time and
work to acquire all those contacts and I get the feeling I’m purging a little
piece of my life, lol. But I did get what I came for after all; every
individuals email address.
It is still too snowy and cold to initiate the acquirement phase (acquirement of
weaponry and armour etc). My agenda the following months looks like the
following:
1.
Conclude email farming
2.
Conclude the writing of 2083 and secure it. This post will be one of my last
entries. I will have to secure the compendium at a safe location until the week
before operation (today is Feb 7th btw).
3.
Change hard drives (phase shift), purge all evidence from other phase.
4.
Initiate the research phase: research the possibilities for the acquirement of
weaponry and armour, the making of WMDs (explosives), acquirement of components
of WMD, research of logistics and storage opportunities.
I have budgeted 2 weeks for the research phase, but it might take up to 6 weeks.
The research phase will be followed by the acquirement phase where I have
budgeted 4-8 months. The acquirement phase will be followed by a one week only
construction/preparation phase.
Btw, I just received what looks like a mass recruitment message from one of my
5000 Facebook contacts (he’s wearing a balaclava in his pic btw with a t-shirt
with the SS skull insignia). The message goes like this:
Hails!
“help support are worldwide organization ATB Aryan Terror Brigade a branch Of
blood and honour, if you are interested reply…..”
While I have to admire the young lad’s initiative and probably noble intention
(he probably doesn’t have the faintest clue what National Socialism or
constructive and meaningful resistance is) the lack of subtlety and discretion
is unfortunately the current trademark of many European amateurish resistance
groups. They probably want recruits in their Jew/immigrant bashing efforts… Many
of these people are causing so much damage to the nationalist cause that I
sometimes wonder if they are on the payroll of the cultural Marxists.
Regardless, my hope is that this compendium will contribute to a significant
“leap in evolution” of the current climate of cluelessness and incompetence.
March 2010
I have ended my “email acquisition phase” ending up with a grand total of 5700
Facebook contacts (2 accounts) and a total of 8000 high quality email addresses
(representing all spheres of cultural conservative thought). I now have a direct
way forwarding my compendium to a good portion of the most dedicated nationalist
oriented individuals in all Western European countries, including the US,
Australia, Canada, South Africa, certain Eastern European countries, Armenia,
Israel and even India. This task has taken me several months and it pained me to
purge all my FB contacts. I’ve talked and discussed with hundreds of patriotic
individuals (many whom are nationalist oriented intellectuals fighting the good
fight), many good people, which made the decision to purge the contacts even
harder. I have now moderated by FB profile considerably and transformed it to a
politically correct profile. I do fear sometimes that my endeavours relating to
the research of the book, and acquisitions of these addresses has resulted in me
being put on various watch lists. I know that at least a few of the profiles I
invited are fake, and used for information gathering for various European and US
intelligence agencies. The question is; have they flagged me? I guess I will
find out eventually…
I went ahead and sold some of the last sets of items I possessed, from my former
life, which had value. It was a complete 40 piece Versace-Rosenthal dinner set
worth approximately 5 000 Euros. I bought it a few years ago for 2 000 Euros and
just sold it for that price. I know I should sell my Breitling Crosswind (new
price: 7 000 Euros), but sentimental value has thus far prevented me from doing
that. Actually, I still have a corporate HP printer (new price 4 000 Euro). I
may attempt to sell that later as it’s pointless for me to own one. I do have a
quite large booze and wine collection which I have collected over the years.
Several of the red wine flasks are from 1979, and therefore possibly worth a
fortune. I do appreciate a glass of vintage red wine so I may actually drink it,
prior to execution of operation. I have given away a few of my paintings to
friends. I will keep the rest hanging, as I still appreciate the works.
The compendium is in its last phase. I have worked quite hard the last two
months to complete it. I estimate that I will be able to complete it within 2
weeks.
Time is of the essence, and I really need to start the research phase (for the
actual operation) and begin on the physical transformation phase. I have to wait
until I have secured the compendium at multiple locations and purged and
destroyed my hard drives.
Moral is peaking. I can’t wait to share the compendium with fellow brothers and
sisters. This will be one of the
last entries btw. I may or may not add more to this log prior to execution of
operation.
July 2010
I recently successfully finished the “armour acquisition phase” and have created
an armour cache by secured a full Pelican case underground. I basically dug it
down somewhere deep in the Norwegian forest. It was my first experience with
this type of assignment and I underestimated the planning needed to complete the
job. A few days ago, I got up at 5.00 in the morning and spent a couple of hours
packing for the trip. By using Google Earth I had selected a desolate location
(aprox), deep in the forests of Norway. I did not yet know the exact location
when I set out on the trip, loaded with my cargo. The Pelican case contained a
complete set of Lokis armour – shield included, caltrops, police insignias and
various other equipment needed for the operation. I was unable to place the
Damascus FX-1 Flexforce riot suit and the molle, pouch carrier in the Pelican
case so I stashed it on the attic marking it as “air soft equipment”. That will
have to do… The Pelican case was so full I had to physically sit on it to be
able to lock it properly.
Anyway, after about a 3-4 hour drive I arrived at the area and I started to
scout for small roads of the highway, as a car parked by the highway would cause
unwanted attention. I found one potential location and drove my little Hyundai
weenie car down a dirt road. These cheap urban cars are obviously not for off
road use so I almost ended in the ditch. I parked the car and scouted the area
on foot for an hour but with little success. An appropriate location involves
finding an area with soil that you can actually dig in so it excludes areas
close to rocks or near trees (all the roots will make it too hard to dig). I
drove for half an hour and started scouting another location. I found what I
thought could be an appropriate dig site and fetched the shovel and two big
plastic covers for initial testing of the soil. I could tell by the topography
that not many people had been here before. The forest was very compact with a
lot of spider webs, and hundreds of flying bugs around. I have serious issues
with spiders so I just had to block those thoughts out. Of course, it was a
giant rock just 10 cm below the soil of my first attempt… Regardless, I
continued digging close by and eventually found a suitable spot. When in the
“identification process” you should expect a few unsuccessful attempts. You
should at least dig 1,5-2 meters vertically and you obviously need a little bit
of luck. I was considering getting an echo sensor gadget for this purpose, which
can reveal whether there are obstructions below the ground etc. However, getting
one would be a hassle, so I just decided to do it the old fashion way.
I started digging at 11.00 and continued for three hours straight. There were a
lot of mosquitoes annoying the hell out of me despite of the fact that I was
covered in anti-mosquito oil. Why oh why didn’t I bring a mosquito head-net… Due
to the intensity of constantly digging, the heat and sweat forced me to remove
everything except my boots and my Skins compression gear. The bugs had a field
day for sure… Digging for hours is exhausting but I continued pushing my
tolerance level as I really wanted to finish before dark. At around 16.00 I was
out of water, I had emptied by 1,5 litre camelbak pouch. I had been digging
continuously for 5 hours and was completely exhausted, yet I hadn’t even
finished digging the hole... I was getting increasingly frustrated as I couldn’t
go on much longer without water. As I didn’t want another day of this hell (4-6
hours driving total + digging) I made the best out of the situation and went to
prepare the cargo in my car for transportation to the dig site. I had originally
planned to split the content of the case into four and carry it in my backpack
to the site. The case was too heavy to transport in one go without problems.
Unfortunately, with my water issue I really had no choice. I literally dragged
the 70 kg case to the dig site. It was extremely exhaustive but it saved me
approximately 30-60 minutes. At 18.00 I had secured the case underground and
filled in all the dirt. I then spent around 40 minutes concealing the dig site
by transporting branches and leaves from other parts of the forest. After one
and a half hours drive I finally reached a gas station. I was quite dehydrated
at the time. Needless to say; that was the best coke and hotdog I had consumed
in ages…
I realize that I rushed the end process due to the fact that I had
underestimated several aspects of “dig site management”. I will not make the
same mistake when I’m securing my weapons after the “weapons acquirement phase”.
Lesson learned.
August 2010, 1
Phase shift – armour phase to weapons phase; harddrive replaced with new one,
and all evidence from former phase purged. I’m preparing for a car trip to
Prague to establish a weapons connection for the acquisition of an assault
rifle, a glock, splint grenades and AP ammo (grenades and AP ammo is a bonus).
Prague is known for being maybe the most important transit point for illicit
drugs and weapons in Europe. I spent a couple of days planning the trip as it
takes around 15-17 hours to drive and it involves the car ferry from Sweden to
Denmark and another ferry from Denmark to Germany. I might just take a car ferry
from Oslo to Germany. It will be hard to avoid using my visa during this trip
but I will try. My mobile will be turned off during the entire duration and will
only be turned on in an emergency. I have researched all relevant information;
hostel info for Copenhagen, Berlin and Prague. If I fail to accomplish my
objective in Prague my secondary attempt will be in Berlin. If that fails as
well I will drive all the way to Serbia. My encounter with the criminal networks
in Prague will not go without risk. I will have to try to establish a connection
via Taxi drivers, and/or through the clubbing/prostitution scene. I just hope I
make it out alive… I will at least avoid all ferries and electronic payments on
the return trip and cross the northern border (it has minimal presence of custom
officers), just in case I am somehow under surveillance. Better to be safe than
sorry etc. When I return and secure the weapons I can finally initiate the
“explosive phase”. More on that in another chapter.
August 2010, 2
As the “armour acquirement phase” has been successfully completed it is now time
to move on to the “weapons research phase” followed by the “weapons acquirement
phase”. I’m planning a road trip to Denmark and Germany as backup targets and
Czech Republic as the primary destination with the intention of buying an AK-47
(7.62) and a glock 17 or 19 (9 mm).I’ve spent the last two to three weeks
researching clubs or similar places where medium-scale drug dealers frequent.
Drug dealers are the best bet when looking to establish a weapons connection,
after all. They, or their suppliers, have functional smuggler routes from other
East bloc countries, the Balkans and from Turkey. While they prefer to trade
drugs, due to the space efficient nature of narcotics, they are usually able to
provide weapons as well. If they don’t have any weapons in stock, they are
usually able to order arms from their couriers.
I can’t say I’m looking forward to this trip. I’ve heard that Prague is the most
dangerous capital in Europe with a lot of very brutal and cynical criminals.
There is a chance ill get killed down there by some desperate criminal
individual. In any case; I’ve prepped by car, hollowed out the back seats of my
Hyundai Atos and it should be room for weapons, a few frag grenades and AP ammo.
The car is really crap so I hope it won’t break down in the middle of the
autobahn. Several people on the Hyundai forum said I would never reach my
destination and back in that car, lol. I guess we will see… The reason I chose
it in the first place is that it looks like a pensioners car, so it not likely
that I will be stopped in customs controls when I smuggle the arms back to Oslo.
Today is the day; I’m driving down to the ferry now. It will take me from Oslo
to Kiel, whereas I need to drive aprox 9 hours straight to Prague where I have
booked a 6 day stay at a relatively cheap hostel. I have usually gone with
hotels in the past but they are not great for socializing. Nothing beats a
Hostel when it comes to partying and getting to know people etc. This trip is
going to be a fascinating experience. I’m just trying not to think too much
about what might happen when I approach drug dealers. I’ve decided I want to get
most out of the trip so I have made a schedule including visits to all of
Prague’s tourist attractions. I will do this during the day time, and go
clubbing at night looking for a connection.
I’m been two days in Prague. I’ve sorted a few tasks I wanted to do. One
involved professionally printing prospectuses which will serve to strengthen my
cover stories in case I get apprehended pre-operation. The prospectus is
basically a Mineral Extraction business plan explaining in detail why I would
need to create explosives. The cover story involves the manufacturing of
explosives without a permit. Everything is specified in the prospectus which
should be enough to create a reasonable doubt regarding any potential terror
charges, should I ever get caught. I also got several police ID badges and other
related insignias professionally printed, paying cash of course. Printing these
back in Norway would only result in the clerk notifying the authorities.
So only one thing remains; I need to find my weapons connection within 4 days…!
I failed miserably yesterday; I went to two brothels and a couple of clubs. The
people I approached got really nervous and thought I was either a cop or
completely nuts, lol. I have had to refine my approach pitch. It started off
really bad. Whatever you do when trying to establish a gun connection, never be
too direct;
Hello there; I want to buy an
AK-47, 4 frag grenades, 1 glock and AP bullets. (Guy will run for the hills
before you have completed the last sentence:-)
This city doesn’t seem dangerous at all btw. I have no idea why that BBC
documentary would present such incorrect information. In fact, I feel even safer
here than back in Oslo. Probably because there is basically no Muslims living in
this country. Most of the criminals here are Christian Gypsies and I have found
out that most of them have been basically chased away from the capital, Prague,
to other Czech cities. I can understand why the government would want to do
this. Prague is like a giant Museum of ancient European historical sites and
attracts millions of tourists annually. All the criminals that was here a few
years ago was bad for business. I have never seen this many tourists in any
other European city; Paris, London and Berlin included. Downtown Prague is
packed with thousands and thousands of tourists, even now in September.
Day 5 in Prague. I’m getting desperate. This is the first major setback for me
during my operation. I am so disappointed by myself. I realize now that Prague
is far from the ideal city when looking to buy arms. Western European capitals
are probably a more suitable location to establish a connection as that is the
end destination of the arms that come through here. Prague may be a transit
point but finding the actual couriers or sellers has proven to be a hard task.
Also, I guess I wasn’t motivated enough, considering the fact that I could have
just purchased a legal semi automatic rifle and a glock in Norway. I have
approached several shady looking individuals but I would have tried a lot harder
if it weren’t for the fact that I could buy guns legally.
I have now decided to abort this sub-mission and rather focus on acquiring the
weapons I need legally, back in Norway. Regardless of the outcome of this
mission; I have had a great vacation and have experienced most of the historical
sites and a lot of amazing architecture. I’ve also partied a lot with the people
I met at the hostel. Time to go home...
The trip back was a bore. My Ipod batteries died halfway to Copenhagen. I stayed
the night at a hostel and drove from Copenhagen to Oslo the next day.
September 2010
I originally wanted to try establishing a connection with Hells Angels in either
Prague, Berlin or Copenhagen. However, I lost my motivation completely during my
first few days in Prague. I now have to acquire a semi-automatic rifle and glock
legally. I don’t think the rifle will be a problem, as I have completed the 1
week duration hunter course, and I have had a Benelli Nova Pump-Action shot gun
for 7 years without incident. I don’t have a criminal record so there is no
reason why the police should reject my application.
I have now sent an application for a Ruger Mini 14 semi-automatic rifle (5.56).
It is the most “army like” rifle allowed in Norway, although it is considered a
“poor man’s” AR-15. I envy our European American brothers as the gun laws in
Europe sucks ass in comparison. However, the EUSSR borders to Turkey and the
Middle East so acquiring illegal arms isn’t exactly rocket science providing you
are motivated enough. In any case;
I would rather have preferred a Ruger Mini 30, but I already own a 7.62 bolt
rifle and it is likely that the police wouldn’t grant me a similar caliber. On
the application form I stated: “hunting deer”. It would have been tempting to
just write the truth; “executing category A and B cultural
Marxists/multiculturalist traitors” just to see their reaction:P
Acquiring a pistol, legally, is more tricky. I have been a member of Oslo Pistol
Club for a few years but it is required that you train regularly in order to be
eligible. I will have to train more often this winter and ensure I build up a
solid track record, which in turn should enable me to get a permit.
I have now changed my hard drive, again, and I’m now going to start the
“explosives research phase”. I’ve been looking forward to this phase for a long
time.
October-November 2010
I have just completed the “explosives research phase” and have summarized
several new chapters for the compendium. My rifle application came through and I
have now ordered a 800 Euro silencer specifically created for automatic and
semi-automatic rifles. The Ruger Mini 14 costs about 1400 Euro including a
customized trigger job from the gun smith. I will have to buy a new stock with
picatinny rails (400 Euro) and 30 bullet factory mags (60 Euro per mag) from a
US supplier.
I have now cleared out all of the information (evidence) from the previous phase
and changed my hard drive once again. I am now ready to start the chemical
acquirement phase…!:-)
I was at a party yesterday with a few friends from high school. One of them,
Trond, who apparently had evolved into a relatively extreme Marxist, often
joining ANTIFA (Blitz) demonstrations… We were both into hip hop back then and
he had apparently continued down that road. We had some interesting debates that
night while drinking…:-) Can you believe the hypocrisy of some people? The guy
lives in a Norwegian only area in the middle of a Muslim ghetto at Tøyen in
Oslo. I asked him; don’t you consider yourself to be a hypocrite considering the
fact that you support mass Muslims immigration and at the same time refuse to
actually live with them, and instead barricade yourself in a safe Norwegian
area? Needless to say, he didn’t have a good answer… I went on about the fact
that there is no such thing as a Palestinian. The concept known as Palestine and
Palestinians is a Syrian effort to justify Jihad etc (this is a classic and
awesome way to infuriate Marxists:-). We managed to push his buttons over and
over again without him realizing that we were using him as a supplier for top
notch entertainment:-). God, that was actually quite mean but I honestly think
he will re-evaluate his Marxist world view after that night.
I’ve now ordered 50 ml, 99% pure liquid nicotine from a Chinese online supplier.
3-4 drops will be injected in hollow point rifle bullets, which will effectively
turn it into a lethal chemical weapon. However, I am quite worried about any
potential customs related issue as pure nicotine is considered an illegal
substance. In a worst case scenario; a customs official will open the package,
get a few drops on his skin and die, and I will have a full SWAT team serving me
cock sandwiches at my door the next morning… However, I specifically instructed
the Chinese supplier to send the package by courier to my company name, with
extra wrapping and chemical labeling.
I have now made my first order for one of the chemicals required for my
initiator from an online-based Polish supplier. I will have to order another 4-5
different ingredients online before I am done.
Needless to say; this is an extremely vulnerable phase. In fact, it is the most
vulnerable phase of them all. If I get through this phase without trouble I will
be very close to finalizing my operation.
I am somewhat concerned but I have credible cover stories for each
individual chemical (with the exception of one) should there be any
complication.
It has been decided that the operation will be effectuated in Autumn, 2011.
However, I cannot go into factors concerning why, at this point. My current
funds are running low, and I have less than 15 000 Euro left with a 30 000
credit backup from my 10 different credit cards. My primary funds should cover
all planned expenses without spending any of the credit.
So what do I do when I’m not working? I’m in the middle of another steroid cycle
at the moment, training hard to exceed my 92 kg record from July. I’m currently
at 90 kg and hope to reach at least 95 kg. Perhaps ill even reach 100 kg before
I end the cycle in 4 week’s time!:-) I have a more or less perfect body at the
moment and I’m as happy as I have ever been. My morale is at an all time high
and I’m generally happy with how things are progressing. I may create an
ideological Knights Templar Youtube movie this winter. I have some time to
invest while I wait for my chemicals to arrive. My sister in Los Angeles invited
me to spend Christmas with her, Kevin and my niece Kaia and nephew Tyler. I’m
tempted to visit her for the fourth time but I don’t know if my budget will
allow it. My sister supports the fundamental principles of the cause but she
couldn’t care less about the struggle and politics in general. They are both
career cynicisms and only really care about feeding their own egos. I understand
that mentality though as I’ve been there myself. Still, such apathy is the root
cause of both US and especially Western Europe’s problems.
I’ve been partying occasionally with my friends; Marius, Axel, Peter and a few
others, since I came back from Prague. The cover story I used as justification
towards everyone I know was that I was promoting my book.
I am happy to see that Axel is finally coming to his senses regarding his views
on the Islamisation of Europe. And I expect him to use his vote on the only
anti-multiculturalist party during the election in a year’s time.
I am currently watching Dexter, the series about that forensic mass murderer.
Quite hilarious. I’m also looking forward to watch the new movie-series about
Carlos the Jackal (the Marxist-Islamist and Che wannabe scumbag). Hopefully, it
will be as good as the Baader Meinhof Complex. I really enjoyed that one. Oh,
and I’m also playing Fallout 3 – New Vegas atm after just finishing Bioshock 2.
I’m also going to try the new World of Warcraft - Cataclysm when it is released
in December. Time to dust of my mage…
As for girlfriends; I do get the occasional lead, or the occasional girl making
a move, especially now a day as I’m fit like hell and feel great. But I’m trying
to avoid relationships as it would only complicate my plans and it may
jeopardize my operation. And I don’t feel comfortable manipulating girls any
more into one night stands. I am not that person any more. I did screw two girls
in Prague though, but that was mainly because it was a realistic chance that I
would end up dead during the process of establishing a weapons connection. I
won’t make any effort to try to completely justify it though. Human males are
imperfect by default as they are plagued by their biological needs.
Nevertheless, screwing around outside of marriage is after all a relatively
small sin compared to the huge amounts of grace I am about to generate with my
martyrdom operation. And it is essential that you do what is required to keep
moral and motivation at a high level; especially, just prior to operation
critical moments. I have reserved 2000 Euro from my operations budget which I
intend to spend on a high quality model escort girl 1 week prior to execution of
the mission. I will probably arrange that just before or after I attend my final
martyrs mass in Frogner Church. It will contribute to ease my mind as I imagine
I will get tense and very nervous. It is easier to face death if you know you
are biologically, mentally and spiritually at ease.
I received the 50 ml of 99% pure liquid nicotine shipment from China today. I’m
relieved to see that there were no complications whatsoever.
I thought I’d add a little comment about general expenditure during the
pre-operational phases. It is essential to maintain a low budget to conserve
your limited budget. The importance of this cannot be stressed enough as having
sufficient funds for the operation is everything! Approximately 4 years ago, in
2006, just before I started writing this compendium, I decided to move from my
apartment in Frogner, one of the most priciest areas in Oslo, home to my mother.
She accepted as she knew I would have to conserve my funds while I was writing
the compendium. The cost of renting my old apartment was 1250 Euro. My current
accommodation expenditure (food included) is 450 Euro, a sum I transfer to my
mother monthly for renting a room and for food. This wouldn’t have worked in my
old life, when I was an egotistical career cynic as it would devastate my social
image. However, individuals who choose to become a Justiciar Knight cares little
about image (the pursuit to project a desirable façade to impress friends and
potential mating partners). Sure, some people will think you are a freak for
living with your parents at the age of 31 but this is irrelevant for a Justiciar
Knight. The only thing that matters is to ensure that you have enough funds and
free time to complete the objectives necessary to execute your individual
mission. As for keeping secrecy while living with another person; sure, you need
many cover stories and you need access to the loft and/or basement storage
areas. As long as you ensure that there is no possibility that the person you
are living with will find out what you are really working on, living with others
shouldn’t pose a big problem until you initiate your manufacturing phase. My
armour is dug down in the wilderness somewhere and I will soon dig down another
pelican crate with my weapons, once I get them.
I have a large Pelican chest in my room where I have secured items that
might raise questions. Besides that, everything is on my PC and individual
storage pins which I keep stored safe in the attic (they are 3 very small USB
pins which are stored inside walls and properly concealed). They contain the
required information for each of the coming phases. As soon as I have completed
one phase I extract the information for the next phase from my pin, after I
destroy my old hard drive. This has worked flawlessly so far. However, when I
will start the actual manufacturing phase in a few months time, I will have no
choice but to rent a cottage and/or small farm as I will require total anonymity
while manufacturing and storing tons of materials.
I will not be able to update this log for a couple of months as I have to purge
my old harddrive and store this information on a chip, externally. When this is
done I will initiate the most critical of all phases; the “chemicals acquisition
phase”. If I succeed with this phase I will have everything needed except the
AN.
December, January and February 2011
When initiating the “chemical acquirement phase”, in end November/early
December, I must admit I was filled with some angst. This was after all a
critical phase, perhaps the most dangerous of all phases. If I messed this phase
up, by being flagged, reported to the authorities etc. I would be neutralized
before I could finalize my operation. Even when taking all possible precautions;
I estimate it is a 30% chance of being reported to the system protectors at the
national intelligence agency during this phase.
My concerns and angst relating to this phase impacted my motivation, to a point
where I had to initiate specific counter-measures to reverse the loss of morale
and motivation. I decided that the correct approach to reversing it was to
initiate another DBOL steroid cycle and intensify my strength training. I also
spent some time locating and downloading some new inspirational music. A lot of
new vocal trance tracks and some inspirational music by Helene Bøksle. In
addition; I decided I would allow myself to play the newly launched expansion:
World of Warcraft – Cataclysm. The combination of these three counter measures,
in addition to my 3 weekly indoctrination/meditation walks, resulted in my
morale and motivation again peaking.
I would now initiate the most critical of all phases; the “chemical acquirement
phase”
I will include a list of some of the items/components acquired during this

Cover story:
Sodium Nitrate used as a preservative for curing/processing meat. A teaspoon of
SN is mixed with salt and other herbs and rubbed into 25 kg meat. This process
preserves the colour before freezing and prevents the development of bacteria.
It is common for Norwegian moose hunters to use this product as they often
acquire and process up to several hundred kilograms of meat which needs to be
processed with preservatives before freezing. I was also a bit concerned about
paying with my VISA, as it would be a traceable transaction, but I felt it would
have caused “red flags” with the clerk if I attempted to pay by cash.
Cover story used:
yes (reason for purchase explained to drug store clerk before ordering). Deluxe
business regalia used at first encounter with clerk to send the right signals. A
good method is to ask the correct questions which leads to the clerk suggesting
you buy “compound x”. I told her our hunting group had previously used a
wholesale food supplier for buying the preservative but that they suggested we
now buy it from a drug store. If selecting a drug store – use a rural one,
located in a high class area, which is located in proximity to individuals who
regularly go hunting. Also, ensure that you are a member of a hunter
organization and have a license for a rifle etc. in case the clerk informs the
intelligence agency who then performs a background check.
Risk:
Moderate risk. I am concerned about
the drug store clerk informing the intelligence agency. There is also a chance
that the intelligence agency regularly screen drug store customer lists and
compare it to terror lists. There is a slight possibility that you can end up on
a list after you order such a substance from a drug store. Therefore; I would
suggest you create SN using base materials. Google for “how to create “sodium
nitrate” guides.
Item: Sulphuric Acid
(car battery acid)
Purchase:
Dec 2010
Intended use:
component to primary and
secondary charge
Quantity:
12 litres of pure (80-90%) sulphuric acid (equivalent to 25-36 litres of 30% SA)
Supplier:
Automobile parts supplier - acquired 7L at 30% purity from two different
suppliers, car recycling facility (where trashed cars are delivered) – acquired
4 large car batteries containing 6L at 30% purity, wholesale supplier for the
mechanic shops: Exide Sønnak – acquired 25L at 30% purity
Alt. supplier:
can be acquired from car mechanics, automobile parts suppliers or at recycling
stations (often a subsection of a gasoline station). Also available from other
chemical stores and some apothecaries
Cost:
150 Euro for 7L, 20 Euro for 4 batteries, 130 Euro for 25L
Bought with cash:
from first three suppliers and with VISA for the 25L container, as I feared it
would generate suspicion if I paid with cash.
Delivery:
picked up at the selected suppliers, transporting the 25L container was risky as
it is considered dangerous goods. If you crash your car with this load and the
container breaks open you will end up like the melting guy in the Robocop
movie:D The only bonus of course would be that you won’t have to invest in a new
Freddy Kruger face mask for next Halloween…
Cover story:
I purchased 2-3 car batteries from an online store - mcdeler.no (research an
equivalent site for your country). Story told to clerk: “Ordered xx from xx.com.
To my surprise the batteries did not contain liquid, which is why I have to buy
it separately.” It is illegal to ship battery acid by post and the people
working in these stores know it. Thus; your cover story will appear solid and
credible and you will not raise any red flags. You can only buy up to 3-5L per
supplier using this story, as the cover story would appear flawed if you claimed
you ordered more than 3 batteries online.
Cover story used:
yes, at all 4 suppliers. URL for site selling the “empty battery cases” proved
useful as it showed that I had sincere intentions with the sulphuric acid.
Risk:
Moderate risk. I was a little
concerned about the 25L purchase since it was more than I needed, and it
appeared too much for my “official use”. However, they were sold out of the
smaller variants so it was the only alternative. The guy selling them bought the
story but he was really concerned for my safety when transporting the material.
I am not looking forward to boiling down this nasty stuff, from 30% to 80-90%
purity. I will take all precautions though and ensure to be wearing full
chemical hazmat suit and full respirator with additional splash proof face mask.
Although, I guess worst case would be that I can finally audition for the next
Predator movie…<3
Item: Distilled water
25L container
Purchase:
Dec 2010
Intended use:
in manufacturing process of primary
and secondary charge (never use
normal water)
Quantity:
25 litres
Supplier:
same supplier/transaction as above (25L car battery acid). In fact; this
purchased only strengthened the cover story as car battery acid consists of 30%
sulphuric acid and 70% distilled water.
Item: Acetylsalicylic acid
(aspirin)
Purchase:
Dec/Jan 2010/11
Intended use:
component to primary and
secondary charge
Quantity:
190 packages – 20 tabs x 440 mg (for 1,5kg of picric acid)
Supplier:
Drug stores
Alt. supplier:
N/A
Cost:
6 Euro per package = a total of 1140 Euro for 190 packages
Bought with cash:
from all drug stores
Delivery:
retail sale from drug store
Cover story:
3 packages for my company (December is the season for Christmas parties so it’s
the high season for aspirin due to alcohol side effects)
Cover story used:
yes, in each drug store
Risk:
Low. This was the most lol task ever. The main problem was that there are only
30-40 drug stores in my city and only 20 of them are within walking range of
each other. I first attempted to purchase up to 10 packages per drugstore but
with little success, due to the fact that it is not legal to sell more than 2
packages per customer. Larger purchases require a written notice from a medical
professional. I ended up creating a “walking route” which included the purchase
of 3 packages per drug store. Route covered 20 drug stores and took around 4
hours of constant walking to complete. Doing this by car would have taken even
longer due to parking limitations in my city, and bicycle was out of the
question as it was too much snow. I ended up using 4 full days (1 x route x 4
times) before I had enough aspirin. I waited 7-14 days before starting the
purchase route again as I wanted to avoid being recognized by the pharmacy
clerks. A few of them did recognize me though but since I appeared to be a
professional (designer business regalia ftw) and an upstanding citizen, I
believe no red flags were raised. High class regalia used for purchase round to
avoid raising flags. I started out buying the expensive Bayer Aspirin but
quickly reverted to the purchase of a generic brand instead, as it was much
cheaper.
Item: Aluminium powder, flaked 400 mesh (particle size)
Intended use:
component to tertiary charge
(fertilizer sensitizer). According to sources; alu powder mixed with AN will
increase tertiary charge sensitivity and increase demolition power by
approximately 10-30%
Quantity:
10-15% of total fertilizer weight (2 tons of fertilizer means 200-300 kg alu
powder)
Supplier:
Keten, a Polish chem. store
Alt. supplier:
You can buy large alu ingots and file them down or try other chem store
The alternative method described:
Buy aluminium bars/ingots or profiles from a forge/supplier and file these metal
bars down to powder using specialized cryo filing drill bur and renting a high
powered drill. If, in the future, intelligence agencies counter and start
monitoring forges then alu scrap is also an option. I did significant research
on this area and concluded: the optimal aluminium filing drill bit is the
following:
Brand: Partsmaster, nch.com, Cryo phase, nitrid/carbid/cobalt burrs, ball nose
cylinder 13mm, recommended drill RPM is 7000-38 000. They cost 130 Euro in my
country. I haven’t yet tested it but according to my calculations you should be
able to generate at least 1kg of alu powder per minute (2 hours = 120 kg vs
manual filing would take 112 hours for the same amount). You should probably dip
the burr in ice water every 20 sec to prevent overheating, but I will have to
double check this with supplier. We don’t want the burr to crack.
Note: when filing; ALWAYS use a 3M mask with particle filter and create a 1m3
“work chamber” using plastic sheeting to prevent spreading alu particles all
over the room/area.
Cost:
2000 Euro for 150 kg, shipping included. You can probably get 100 kg
un-processed alu bars from 1000 Euro.
Payment by bank wire
Delivery:
Ordered and paid in mid December. As of March 1st 2011, I have still
not received it. The supplier is really unprofessional and has ignored my 5 last
emails. 3 x 50 kg containers are supposed to be shipped to a Schenker store in
Karlstad, Sweden, where I will make a pickup and transfer it to Oslo.
Cover story:
Alu powder is an essential component to certain types of boat epoxy paints to
give the paint UV protective properties. In the first email I explained this in
detail (that it was for maritime epoxy coating purposes etc.). My company is a
producer of coating solutions for the maritime sector etc.
Cover story used:
yes
Risk:
High. I regret placing the order as
I see, in retrospect, that Keten is likely to be closely monitored by a majority
of European intelligence agencies. Instead, I should have bought alu ingots from
a forge and filing them down to powder using a special cryo filing drill bur and
renting a high powered drill. As for type of alu; I am not really sure if flaked
400 mesh powder is the most optimal choice. There are conflicting facts
surrounding the optimal alu particle size/shape for demolition purposes. Some
said 400 flaked was optimal but other sources claimed spherical + other sizes
was the best.
Item: Microballoons/sil-cell (very small glass spheres filled with oxygen)
Intended use:
component to tertiary charge
(fertilizer sensitizer). According to sources; microballoons mixed with AN will
increase tertiary charge sensitivity and create so called “hotspots” which will
increase demolition power by approximately 10-20%
Quantity:
2-3% of total fertilizer weight (2 tons of fertilizer means 50-60 kg
microballoons)
Supplier:
seasea.no, a maritime shop
Alt. supplier:
other maritime shops or cement/plastic/resin/paint shops
Cost:
115 Euro for 9 kg, so 60 kg is 770 Euro.
Payment:
haven’t yet bought this as I don’t have anywhere to store it yet
Delivery:
N/A
Cover story:
Going to research “cover story” when the time comes. I think it is an essential
component to mix in plastic/fiber material (the plastic used in boats etc.)
Cover story used:
yes, will be used
Risk:
Low, medium risk if you buy everything at once without a solid cover story.
Continuation December log
As already mentioned; I initiated a second steroid test cycle: 3 first weeks on
DBOL tabs (40 mg per day). Weight increased from 86 kg to 90 kg. No side
effects. Cycle cancelled after three weeks because I felt I had to prioritize
other tasks.
Pistol training November, December and January
Pistol training was initiated in order to fulfill the government requirement for
purchase.
15 training sessions in November, December and January was completed and
documented. The application for a Glock 17 was sent in mid January.
Documentation and activity requirement was met. I joined my local pistol club
back in 2005 for the first time but have only sporadically attended training
until November 2010. The fact that I joined the club as early as 2005 was a
planned move to increase my chances for obtaining a Glock, legally.
Rifle training December and January
3 rifle training sessions was completed during this period. The intention was to
acquire a minimum of experience with, Gungnir, my semi automatic Ruger Mini 14,
.223 caliber and to calibrate my Eotech sights properly at 100 meter distance.
December and January - Rifle/gun accessories purchased
-
10 x 30 round magazines
- .223 cal at 34 USD per mag. Had to buy
through a smaller US supplier (who again ordered from other suppliers) as most
suppliers have export limitations. An alternative supplier was located in Sweden
but it would have cost 1,5 times more. Another possibility would have been to
use Jetcarrier (or similar freight forwarder which allows you to order from a US
address) but some companies have no-sale policies to New Jersey for this reason.
Total cost: 550 USD
From Midway
-
GG&G Picatinny Style Scope Base Ruger Mini-14, Ranch only: 95 Euro
-
Aimshot Laser Sight and Flashlight Tri-Rail Barrel Mount: 30 Euro (3x
picatinny/weaver rail)
-
Allen Buttstock Shotshell Ammunition Carrier, 5 round Nylon (mounted on
shotgun): 10 euro
-
Loctite Blue Aluminum Threadlocker, cost 10 USD on Ebay, excellent for
tightening screws on the alu rails used for fastening the holographic sight and
3 x sight.
From other suppliers
-
LaserLyte Pistol Bayonet Quick Detachable – a picatinny/weaver rail bayonet
purchased from Ebay using VISA/Paypal, cost: 62 USD.
-
4 x 30 round magazines for Glock 9mm from a national supplier, Capsicum
Solutions, using VISA, cost: 230 Euro.
-
Cammenga Easyloader for AR15/Mini14 from a national supplier, Capsicum
solutions, cost: 70 Euro
-
Hollow point ammo for .223 from a national supplier, 500 Euro. Had to research
and use a cover when buying; bird hunting ftw.
-
Slugs ammo for shotgun, 100 Euro, cover when buying; deer hunting ammo.
Equipment needed for creating chemical/biological ammo
-
DREMEL Universal tool 200 series (the drill)
-
DREMEL Workstation (used for stabilizing the drill in a stable 90 degree
position)
-
DREMEL Multichuck (allows you to use conventional drill bits on your dremel
tool)
Total cost for these three items: 140 Euro from Pixmania.com
-
65mm Drill Press Vice (Quick Release) from Lathe Mill, ordered from Ebay via
Paypal, cost: 33 USD (Anchortools.com). This item will hold the cartridge in
place while I drill a portion of the lead core out of the bullet.
Note; I have concluded that .223 ammo is not suitable for creating bio rounds.
The bullet simply lacks the size required to fit a deadly doze. 7.62 ammo would
be preferable as it is more than double the size. 9 mm bullets are ok for this
purpose, but I have to wait for my Glock license before I get access to 9 mm
ammunition.
Other items bought from Clas Ohlson, general store:
-
Manual filing set
-
Super glue, used for plugging the bullet after injection
-
De-isolation thong that lets you cut of the tip of bullets (looks like a
wirecutter)
Other items ordered:
Marketing related
Casio EXZ 330 SR digital camera, for marketing purposes, from Expert, cost: 80
Euro. This would allow me to complete a photo session, without the need to use a
professional photographer. I have used a professional in the past but it is
obvious that the regalia I intend to use in the photo session will generate
suspicion and threaten the security of the operation. Lack of professional
digital equipment, green sheet background and other related and expensive photo
gear can be compensated by my Photoshop skills.
Operational gear, components and
accessories
-
Latex tubing/surgical tubing 10” ¼ 1/32 wall latex tubing from Ebay 50 USD, used
as the outer layer on a fuse to prevent early detonation.
-
Ruger Mini 14 from national supplier, cost: 1100 Euro
-
Trigger job on Ruger Mini 14, 100 Euro (bought in October I believe), to make
the trigger lighter to press for rapid fire,
-
Training ammo: 200 Euro
-
Barley Crusher MaltMill with 7 kg hopper, from barleycrusher.com, cost 250 USD
incl shipping.
Received the Barley Crusher in January. I haven’t yet tested if it works but
according to my calculation it should enable me pulverize fertilizer prills at
record speed. When you attach a drill using a 3/8 drill motor at 500 RPM it
should give you a crush rate of 3 kg per minute making the pulverization process
of 2 tons of fertilizer fast and easy. The crusher rollers are adjustable at
both ends so they can be adjusted according to prill size to ensure proper
pulverization.
Fitness/muscle supplements
-
100% Whey Protein 9kg, cost: 250 Euro, for increasing muscle mass, 100 g per day
in combination with training, top ranked protein supplement, short protein
-
100% Casein Protein 2 kg, cost: 70 Euro, for increasing muscle mass, 25 g per
day before you go to bed in combination with training, top ranked protein
supplement, long protein
-
No-Xplode, cost: 50 Euro, pre-workout energy booster, this should also be used
10 min prior to mission
-
Milk Thistle Herbal Supplement , 3 boxes, cost: 45 USD, Ebay, needed to
strengthen the liver when using steroid tabs (Winstrol/DBOL). As steroid tabs
are toxic for your liver you should use this liver supplement (3 tabs per day
during a steroid cycle).
Logistic failures
I ordered an ASE Utra CQB-QM silencer (cost was 800 Euro) for my semi automatic
rifle in September 2010 and the supplier, Intersport Bogstadveien, told me it
would arrive in early January 2011. In January, the supplier told me ASE had
suddenly cancelled all private orders due to the fact that they had just
received a large military order... I’m not going to take the chance with a
regular non-auto silencer because it might overheat and explode during rapid
fire, with the risk of destroying Gungnir. I was not able to find another
supplier of semi automatic silencers that could be sent to my country directly
from the supplier or by jetcarrier. The only bonus I guess is that by
eliminating the silencer aspect allows me to order and equip a bayonet instead.
So I guess; “Marxist on a stick” will soon become an exclusive Knights Templar
Europe trademark:D.
February
Initiated third steroid test cycle: 3 first weeks on winstrol tabs (40 mg per
day) followed by 3 weeks of DBOL tabs (40 mg per day). Weight increased from 86
kg to 93 kg. No side effects. Cycle completed with great success. I have never
in my life been more physically fit than I am today. Strength increased by
30-50% which will prove useful.
Creation of marketing movie trailer
Feb 15th to Feb 26th: created a 12,5 minute movie trailer
(slideshow trailer) promoting the compendium: “2083 – A European Declaration of
Independence”. All the slides were created in Photoshop. After 12 days of hard
work I can say I am somewhat satisfied with the end result. I would love to make
it even better but I really can’t afford to invest any more time into this
trailer which might never see the light of day… Not happy with end resolution
but higher res would just make the AVI file too large for efficient
distribution. Was planning to hire a low cost Asian movie guy through
scriptlance.com but I have to conserve my funds.
Other social related matters
After 5 years in the Freemasons I was finally accepted for rank 4-5 (it’s a
combined rank). However, due to lack of time I decided to decline the offer. I
told them I would be unavailable until Autumn 2011, due to extensive traveling.
Purchase of containers – primary, secondary and tertiary
To calculate the required size for cylinders (for primary, secondary, tertiary
charge housings)
Google for an online Density Mass & Volume Calculator, like the following:
http://www.1728.com/density.htm
Mass: 12 gram (DDNP detonator content)
You now need to find the volume and density
Density: example density of water is 915 kg/m3 so density of the primer is
approximately 700
Now, with the density and mass (700, 12) you can now calculate the volume
To calculate cylinder volume:
http://www.online-calculators.co.uk/volumetric/cylindervolume.php
With these calculations you now know the size of cylinder required for 12 gram
primary, 500 g secondary and 50 kg tertiary charge.
Cylinder housings purchased
Primary container (small, fits 12-20 grams)
I bought the primary containers (detonator housing) from a general supply store.
It was actually a long alu pipe which I intend to cut into three detonator
housings. I also bought screws so that I may create lockable “ends” by using
appropriate sized coins (placing two screws above and two below the coin. I was
uncertain whether to select alu, copper or steel for the primary container but
eventually decided to go with alu.
Cost: 50 Euro
Size: 10 x 1,6 cm (12g)
Secondary container (medium, fits 500-800 grams)
I bought the secondary container (x 3) from IKEA, a metal toilet brush housing,
the most expensive and robust alternative they had. I had reviewed various
suppliers prior to concluding this transaction.
Cost: 80 Euro.
Size: 30 x 7 cm (692g), alternatively: 30 x 6,5 cm (597g)
Tertiary container (large, fits 50-60 kg)
Ordered 3 x 61L barrels with a removable end cap(tertiary container) from a
national supplier (Greif). Due to a minimum quantity policy I was allowed to
leech on a main order placed by another company. After 3 weeks the order was
ready for pickup.
Cost: 90 Euro
Size: 60 x 30 cm (52,8kg), alternatively: 75 x 45 (71,57 kg)
Fertilizer PP woven bags purchased
I was unable to find a supplier of this product in my country. I therefore
ordered 60 units of large plastic bags able to contain 50 kg content (woven
polypropylene, waterproof and robust fertilizer type bags, excellent for storage
and transportation of chems). Chinese supplier found through Alibaba.com, cost:
50 USD for bags + 290 USD for EMS shipping courier. Paid by Western
Union.
Cover story; I contacted 30 companies, a majority of them located in China and
explained that I was planning to order 200 000 units per year with intent for
distribution in Scandinavia. In this context I wanted to order 60 units for
testing.
I don’t like lying, but I know from experience that you need a story like this
if you want to prevent being ignored. These companies usually just ignore small
purchases/inquiries.
I received the 60 units shortly after and they are optimal for their intended
use.
Social life and continuation of cover
My best friends; Peter, 31, Marius, 31, Axel, 32, and Martin, 32, are now all in
the process of settling down. Peter’s girlfriend Pia has a daughter, Mina, from
another relationship. They are about to buy an apartment together. He’s
currently in the process of selling his apartment close to Bogstadveien (not far
from where I used to live), probably the best and most exclusive place to live
as a bachelor in Oslo. Peter works as a co-captain on a supply ship outside the
coast of southern US. He works 4 weeks on, and then has 4 weeks off etc.
Although he and his parents fled from Soviet Hungary, they are unwilling to
condemn the current cultural Marxist regime in Norway, possibly because they
feel gratitude to the regime for welcoming them in the past. Peter loves to
discuss politics but he’s not willing to take a clear stand on multiculturalism,
possibly because he fears a future regime change, in our favour, may jeopardize
his legal status. I have tried to convince him that it will not affect Christian
Europeans, but he remains somewhat unconvinced. Regardless, he’s my closest
friend and has been since I was 19. I have influenced him considerably the last
few years, and vice versa, but I don’t consider him to be a fellow nationalist,
as he doesn’t really care about anyone except the interests of himself, his
family and his friends. This code, or rather lack of code, applies to the large
majority of people though, so I don’t hold it against him.
Marius lives only 5 minutes away from my home. He’s been dating a very cute and
nice girl named Christine for a couple of years now. She wants to settle down
but he’s trying to delay it for as long as possible. He works as a fireman,
quite ironic as I will soon ensure he gets his hands full… He has helped me out
with my training regime as he is a die-hard fitness/bodybuilding person who has
kept a very strict diet for several years. He’s a good friend (we’ve been
“on-off” best friends since we were 11 years old - 21 years now)) and I often
drop by his house. I guess Marius is the least ambitious of our group as he has
traditionally focused all his energy on optimizing his physical and social image
in relation to fitness for the purpose of hooking up with as many new girls as
humanly possible, often at the same time. I think he has been with close to 1K
atm including a Swedish midget:D. When it comes to partying, he’s a demi-god and
I guess I can call him a master at what he does. His whole lifestyle revolves
around having an optimal bad boy Playboy`ish image which includes multiple
tattoos, perfectly toned muscles and endless partying etc. That lifestyle
appeals’ to a lot of guys but few get to live it so fully. From my own
experience, such a lifestyle does get very repetitive after a while though and
you eventually just feel lonely and empty inside as everyone except yourself
settles down. Regardless, he’s a great standup guy, and very fun to be around.
Just ensure that you keep him at a miles distance away from your girlfriend when
he’s drunk and it’s no problem at all:))
Axel works as a contract lawyer in the Norwegian Defense Department, quite
ironically, with the acquisition of military equipment on behalf of the military
forces pledged to defend the multiculturalist Kingdom of Norway. He’s currently
the most career oriented of my friends. He and his girlfriend Synne has just
purchased a new 650 000 Euro apartment. Everyone expects her to get pregnant
soon as she is 35, he being 32. Axel is a really standup guy and is considerably
more interested in high culture and discussing politics in general. Despite of
the fact that he knows everything about the current Islamisation process and the
indirect genocide of Europeans, he still says he supports “Venstre” (a
multiculturalist party known for harsh demonization and vilification of cultural
conservatives) but I now suspect he’s just saying that to tease me:))
Martin works for one of the more prestigious real estate brokers/developers in
Oslo, Selvaag, and has just moved to Drammen with his girlfriend where they
bought a house together, not long ago. She’s only 22 but has a son from another
relationship. I haven’t seen Martin much the last few years as he has focused
most of his energy on career advancement and his girlfriend.
Me, Peter, Marius and Axel (and a few other common friends) have seen a lot more
of each other the last few months as I’ve had the opportunity to take some time
off from the project. Traditionally, I have been the “glue/social administrator”
of the gang, but in my absence, Peter has stepped up and has taken initiatives
the last years. I still enjoy considerable respect and admiration from them in
relation to my past achievements (establishing my company with 7 employees and
making my first million at 24 and 4 million at 25-26). I believe, less than 5
self made individuals have accomplished more at that young age in my country.
However, they just can’t comprehend why I halted my career at that point, which
is understandable. It’s not like I can tell them that the only reason I
generated those funds in the first place was to fund my current operation…
They, along with my sister Elisabeth, are constantly bugging me about getting a
girlfriend as I’m the only one who is still single. I told them I will be dating
again from August 2011, as I told them I will be moving to my own place then. I
guess it’s the easiest way to avoid the social pressure. I also told them that
I’m in the end phase of completing the research phase of 4 different business
plans, one of which, I said, I will initiate from August. I’ve told them that
one plan involves farming, one involves the design, creation and distribution of
body armour with intent to become a supplier for the Norwegian Defense
Department, one involves distribution of survival, gun accessories and other
security related gear and I have also made hints about the mining project.
Controlled distribution of information regarding these projects will potentially
help me in the future, should one of them ever manage to stumble across
sensitive information. Up until now, there has been absolutely no suspicion from
them whatsoever as far as I can tell. I also told them that I’m in the end phase
of my book project, which will be concluded by a final publishing tour visiting
cultural conservative organizations in Western Europe followed by email
distribution to 10 000 cultural conservatives around the European world.
I’ve also scheduled to meet my stepmom, Tove Øvermo, in March. She used to work
as a director in Norwegian UDI (the foremost government organization tasked with
approving applications and granting foreigners (mostly Muslims) legal permits).
Ironically, UDI is a highly valued target for Knights Templar in Norway as it is
an essential tool and facilitator for the Norwegian multiculturalist regime.
However, I think she’s retired now, so she is currently not in danger of any KT
attacks. Although I care for her a great deal, I wouldn’t hold it against the KT
if she was executed during an attack against UDI, as she used to be a primary
tool and category B traitor for the multiculturalist regime of Norway, high
treason she should be familiar with. Tove, being very intelligent and committed
in the advancement of her own career under the multiculturalist regime, is fully
aware that she is a willing and participating subject/tool for the
Multiculturalist Alliance in the indirect genocide of Norwegians through the
continued Islamisation of Norway. People in her position are just unwilling to
make any meaningful sacrifices as her career would be immediately terminated by
the regime if she criticized them. Career termination followed by blacklisting
and harsh vilification and character assassination is not a price most people of
her position are willing to pay. Just like essential NS tools were guilty of
facilitating the NSDAP, people in her position are guilty of facilitating the
Multiculturalist Alliance. Regime sub-leaders such as her are on auto pilot
though, and partly disconnected from reality and thus partly unaware of their
own war crimes, since the multiculturalist media is ensuring that the public
remain disconnected from reality and the truth. So when I meet her I will
probably just end up talking about the usual social BS, to prevent raising any
red flags. During our last meeting, I remember we discussed the central aspects
of Wahhabism, and I was really impressed with her knowledge on the matter.
I have been storing three bottles of Château Kirwan 1979 (French red wine) which
I purchased at an auction 10 years ago with the intention of enjoying them at a
very special occasion. Considering the fact that my martyrdom operation draws
ever closer I decided to bring one to enjoy with my extended family at our
annual Christmas party in December. I brought the other flask to Marius` party a
few days later and shared it with my friends. It was an absolutely exquisite
experience that will not be forgotten. My thought was to save the last flask for
my last martyrdom celebration and enjoy it with the two high class model whores
I intend to rent prior to the mission. My interpretation of being a “Perfect
Knight” does not and should not include celibacy, although some of my KT peers
might disagree with me on this point. I believe that in order to strengthen the
resolve, morale and motivation prior to a martyrdom operation, the Justiciar
Knight should be encouraged to embrace and take advantage of a significant
reward system designed to increase focus and remove any last doubts. A pragmatic
approach, which involves acknowledging the primal aspects of man for the purpose
of preparing him for a martyrdom operation, should always take precedence over
misguided piety, which only increases the chance of jeopardizing the execution
of the operation. And I believe the majority of war strategy analysts will agree
with me on this.
Continued philosophizing about the future cultural conservative political model,
when we, the cultural conservatives, again seize political and military power at
one point between 2025-2083
I have been thinking about my post-operational situation, in case I survive a
successful mission and live to stand a multiculturalist trial. When I wake up at
the hospital, after surviving the gunshot wounds inflicted on me, I realize at
least for me personally, I will be waking up to a world of shit, a living
nightmare. Not only will all my friends and family detest me and call me a
monster; the united global multiculturalist media will have their hands full
figuring out multiple ways to character assassinate, vilify and demonize. They
will possibly do everything they can to distort the truth about me, KT and our
true objectives, and attempt to make even revolutionary conservatives detest me.
They will label me as a racist, fascist, Nazi-monster as they usually do with
everyone who opposes multiculturalism/cultural Marxism. However, since I
manifest their worst nightmare (systematical and organized executions of
multiculturalist traitors), they will probably just give me the full propaganda
rape package and propagate the following accusations: pedophile, engaged in
incest activities, homosexual, psycho, ADHD, thief, non-educated, inbred,
maniac, insane, monster etc. I will be labeled as the biggest (Nazi-)monster
ever witnessed since WW2.
I have an extremely strong psyche (stronger than anyone I have ever known) but I
am seriously contemplating that it is perhaps biologically impossible to survive
the mental, perhaps coupled with physical torture, I will be facing without
completely breaking down on a psychological level. I guess I will have to wait
and find out.
Regardless of the above cultural Marxist propaganda; I will always know that I
am perhaps the biggest champion of cultural conservatism, Europe has ever
witnessed since 1950. I am one of many destroyers of cultural Marxism and as
such; a hero of Europe, a savior of our people and of European Christendom – by
default. A perfect example which should be copied, applauded and celebrated. The
Perfect Knight I have always strived to be. A Justiciar Knight is a destroyer of
multiculturalism, and as such; a destroyer of evil and a bringer of light. I
will know that I did everything I could to stop and reverse the European
cultural and demographical genocide and end and reverse the Islamisation of
Europe.
I guess it is tempting for the many who have endured years of vilification, to
just start believing the propaganda and embrace NS fully. However, I remain a
staunch anti-Nazi and I blame NSDAP for the situation we are in. Hadn’t it been
for the actions of the cultural right wing extremists known as the NSDAP our
Western European countries would not be dominated by the cultural Marxist
extremist regimes we witness today. If the NSDAP had been isolationistic instead
of imperialistic(expansionist) and just deported the Jews (to a liberated and
Muslim free Zion) instead of massacring them, the anti-European hate ideology
known as multiculturalism would have never been institutionalized in Western
Europe, because the Marxists would never have been so radicalized to begin with.
The cultural conservatives would have been in a very strong and dominant
situation today. Western European countries would have had cultural conservative
doctrines similar to what we see in Japan and South Korea.
We must keep this lesson in mind. When we seize political and military power in
the future; while tempting to unleash hell to avenge all our ravaged and dead
brothers and sisters, we must keep in mind that replacing a cultural Marxist
extremist regime with a cultural conservative extremist regime will only fail to
break the cycle where history always repeats itself. So instead of replacing
this tyrannical and extremist multiculturalist regime with an equivalent right
wing one, we must think and act pragmatically with a long term objective. We
must manage to break the historical “Marxist vs. Conservative” cycle or we risk
that the cultural Marxists will emerge as a dominating force again after 20-100
years. As such, we should limit the executions of category A and B traitors to
200 000 in Western Europe. A better alternative than execution of the remaining,
the category C traitors, would be to establish a large multiculturalist zone in
southern/eastern Europe, perhaps Anatolia, or on other territories which has
been invaded and occupied by Muslims. In these newly created zones; the cultural
Marxists category C traitors and those of the non-Europeans considered as
politically disloyal will be deported to and allowed to live and create their
imaginary utopia. A cultural Marxist or a so called “internationalist” does not
feel much love for his ancestral country as he believes we are all citizens in a
global community. So they should recover easily from the process of being
deported to another country.
Norwegian Intelligence Agency (PST) annual estimates - 2011
Feb 28th: The Norwegian Intelligence Agency (PST) just released its
annual report on terror estimates in Norway. I have been waiting for this report
for several weeks now. Apparently, it’s the same expectations as usual when it
comes to Islamic terror; imminent danger. However, they then specify that the
largest right wing threat in Norway is that a subsidiary of English Defense
League (EDL); Norwegian Defense League (NDL) is in the process of gaining
strength. They also state, between the lines, that both EDL and the NDL are
dangerous and violent right wing extremists that adhere to racism, fascism and
Nazism. They conclude that they will ensure that any attempt to further develop
NDL in Norway will be harshly suppressed.
I am not surprised that PST makes statements like this as the report has been
designed by the Norwegian Labour Party, and does not reflect the views of actual
PST operatives. The head of PST, Janne Kristiansen has never even worked as an
intelligence officer, and is nothing more than a planted Labour Party agent,
placed to lead the PST, against the will of most PST employees.
I know that the above description is nothing more than vile lies, a part of
their psychological propaganda warfare against all cultural conservatives. I
know this for a fact as I used to have more than 600 EDL members as Facebook
friends and have spoken with tens of EDL members and leaders. In fact; I was one
of the individuals who supplied them with processed ideological material
(including rhetorical strategies) in the very beginning. The EDL are in fact
anti-racist, anti-fascist and anti-Nazi. They even have many members and leaders
with non-European background (African and Asian). They have worked so hard, and
continue to work hard, to keep National Socialists out of the organization, but
yet they are strategically labeled as racist-fascist-Nazi-monsters by the
multiculturalist authorities. The EDL, although having noble intentions are in
fact dangerously naïve. EDL and KT principles can never be reconciled as we are
miles apart ideologically AND organizationally. The EDL even rejects taking a
stand against multiculturalism which proves that they are even more naïve than
Sarkozy, Merkel and Cameron who
have all admitted that multiculturalism has been a failure and a disaster for
Europe.
KT was formed back in 2002 as a revolutionary conservative movement because we
had lost hope that the democratic framework can solve Europe’s current problems.
The EDL, on the other hand, IS a democratic movement. They STILL believe that
the democratic system can solve Britain’s problems… This is why the EDL harshly
condemns any and all revolutionary conservative movements that employ terror as
a tool, such as the KT. And this is why, we, the KT view the EDL as naïve fools,
wasting all their energy monkey-screaming to deaf ears while they should instead
have focused on means and methods that are meaningful in regards to achieving
true political change, in regards to tearing down the multiculturalist regime
known as Britain. Unfortunately, the only meaningful resistance at this point in
time is to use military force. So instead of monkey-screaming, they should
instead focus on strategically demolishing one of the many British nuclear power
plants, which effectively would completely cripple the British economy,
contributing to creating an optimal climate for significant political change.
Regardless; it is so obvious that the Multiculturalist Alliance feels it is
important to label anyone who criticizes multiculturalism as racist, fascist,
Nazi-monsters. It makes their job easier, as they can justify harsh suppression
methods of all cultural conservatives. The truth of the matter is that the
Multiculturalist Alliance and their tools are about to lose this propaganda war.
The peoples of Western Europe are not stupid, and they know that less than half
of the targets of character assassination are not what is claimed. I’m
optimistic about the fact that the MA appears to have managed to paint
themselves into a corner, and their false and desperate propaganda outbursts
appears, for an increasing number of Europeans, to be stuck on auto pilot
(similar to what was witnessed in the Soviet Union in the 70s and 80s). People
are in the process of learning the truth about what is going on and the
continued desperate propaganda outbursts only makes our job easier. It is not
the cultural conservatives of Europe that are the monsters. It is in fact the
Multiculturalist Alliance that are the true racist, fascist, Nazi-monsters. It
is possible to avoid reality for up to several decades. The Soviet Union is
proof of this. But eventually, the truth will be known as you cannot avoid the
consequences of avoiding reality.
It is no longer a question IF the MA will crumble but WHEN the MA will crumble.
They will lose when the Western European economy shatters, in combination with
further Islamic colnoization. And when this happens; the majority of the
340 000+ nationalist militants in Western Europe must be ready to strike hard
and without mercy with the objective of seizing political and military power.
We still have 14 years (2025) to arm ourselves, so let us continue to
prepare for the coming coup d’état. Guns and ammo alone is not enough, you will
need quality body armour, com/radio devices, rations and certain survival
accessories as well. Chop-chop<3 For those of you who does not want to wait this
long, should immediately ordinate yourself as a Justiciar Knight for the KT.
Economic status (as of March 1st)
I decided to sell my dear Breitling Crosswind and my Montblanc Meisterstück pen
in January in order to strengthen my operational budget. I was able to sell my
Crosswind for 1800 Euro and my pen for 200 Euro.
My remaining budget is now:
In bank: 3750 Euro
In cash: 3750 Euro
Value of car: 4500 Euro
Credit (9 credit cards): 28 750 Euro
Logistical plans ahead (as of March 1st)
I will shortly convert the public listing/definition of my company from regular
to agricultural. This will allow me
to acquire (rent) and register a farm with accompanying fields. The fields,
registered through my company, will give me a specific “farming ID number” which
is a requirement for ordering large amounts of fertilizer from the national
supplier.
The cover I am using is; test production of sugar beet. I have created a 10 page
“business plan” for this purpose, and have familiarized myself with the related
terminology. As such, I am soon ready to place “rent adds” in agricultural
newspapers, with intent to rent the farm/fields.
As soon as I rent the farm; I plan to move all my equipment to the farm house
and initiate the “explosive manufacturing phase”. The operation will be executed
shortly after the manufacturing phase is completed. Will attempt to initiate
contact with cell 8b and 8c in late March.
Remaining items/components to buy;
·
Plastic sheeting: 30 Euro
·
Alu/wood ramp for loading/unloading truck: 30 Euro
·
Fertilizer - large 500 kg bag: 1 x CAN, 1 x N34, 1 x 0-5-17 (for show), repeat
after a couple of weeks: 2000 Euro

Manufacturing of Picric Acid/DDNP
Foreword - why the manufacturing of picric acid as a secondary/booster and DDNP
as a primary is the most rational approach:
As of 2011; the most popular primary explosive seems to be AP also referred to
as Satan's Mother. AP, although quite easy to manufacture, is an EXTREMELY
dangerous substance which is likely to cause you great injury or even death. In
the guides I have read about DDNP it is stated that this primary is very often
disregarded since it is so difficult to make. This is deliberate misinformation
as it is simply incorrect (If a chemistry amateur like myself can make Picric
Acid AND DDNP on the first try then ANYONE can make it!!!). After merging 4 DDNP
guides, I - who has no chemistry experience whatsoever, managed to synthesize
DDNP on the first try. I tested the batch, and I confirmed the result myself. I
even managed to create the first batch of DDNP with relatively impure picric
acid. DDNP is more than 10 times as stable as AP and has more or less equal VOD
(velocity of detonation). I even think that synthesizing DDNP was easier than
manufacturing picric acid (which is considered to be perhaps the easiest
secondary/booster to manufacture). In other words, the only reason you would not
want to create DDNP as a primary is because you for some reason can't get access
to the materials required. So let's review these materials and some of the
equipment needed;
The following should be easy to acquire unless you're called Abdullah Rashid
Muhammad...:
Generic lab glassware
(EASILY OBTAINABLE): beakers, conical flasks, glass temperature rods etc.
Fume hood and fan
(EASILY OBTAINABLE): fume hood can easily be purchased or created using
improvisation by using PVC plastic plates, screws, duct tape etc. You can use a
100 euro dust blower as a fan (I did and it worked perfectly).
Sulfuric acid
(EASILY OBTAINABLE): PA and DDNP - if you are having trouble buying this in bulk
containers then simply buy 15 car batteries (new or used) which should contain
approximately 2L of 28-37% sulfuric acid each. Just drill a hole in it (using
protective gear) and pour it in a larger container. If you
don't
need 1,5kg of PA booster and just want to create DDNP primary the required
amount of sulfuric acid is less than 3L (which is boiled down to 1L of 90%+)!
Acetylsalicylic acid
(EASILY OBTAINABLE): PA - just buy aspirin at any drugstore. There are several
brands of Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin equivalents).
Sodium Nitrate
(MODERATELY OBTAINABLE): PA - you can order this at any drugstore as it is an
essential substance for tanning/preserving meat. Hunters that needs to process
hundreds of kilograms of meat before freezing it needs Sodium Nitrate (1
teaspoon for every 25kg of meat to prevent the growth of bacteria). You can also
synthesize sodium nitrate quite easily (as long as you do it outdoors) by using
ammonium nitrate (you get this from ice packs) and caustic soda (or was it
acetone) if I remember correctly.
Sodium Nitrite
(MODERATELY OBTAINABLE): DDNP - you can order this at many drugstores as it is
an essential substance for tanning/preserving meat. Hunters that needs to
process hundreds of kilograms of meat before freezing it needs Sodium Nitrate (1
teaspoon for every 25kg of meat to prevent the growth of bacteria).
Sulfur powder
(EASILY OBTAINABLE): DDNP - you can easily acquire this from aquarium filters or
by ordering online. It is an essential ingredient in Wiccan culture/religion so
they can't ban it for religious reasons.
Caustic Soda
- powdered (EASILY OBTAINABLE): DDNP - you can easily buy this over the desk in
all countries.
Acetone -
liquid (EASILY OBTAINABLE): DDNP - you can easily buy this over the desk in all
countries.
Ethanol
(95%) (EASILY OBTAINABLE): PA - you can easily buy this over the desk in all
countries. Just buy concentrated sprinkler fluid (blue) used to clean
windshields on cars. There are many names for the appropriate compound:
isopropanol and butanol are other names. Go for ethanol or isopropanol if
possible. I'm not sure about bio-ethanol sold at gas stations (from pumps) but
that may work as well.
Detonator
(EASILY OBTAINABLE): there is no reason to make this more complicated than it
has to be... by using mobile phone detonators etc.
As DDNP is easily detonated by fuse; just order a few meters of regular
visco fuse in December during the fireworks season. There are thousands of
pyrotechnique enthusiasts doing this all over Europe and most of the shipments
get through with little consequence if detected. Just order from a couple of
suppliers so that you will get at least one of the shipments. You can also
create your own fuses, in which case; just visit online pyrotechnique forums
(every country has at least one) for instructions. When creating the detonator
skeleton cylinder you can also add a couple of grams of gunpowder (the flaked
gunpowder used in shotgun shells are good) layered above the DDNP in the
detonator. For most fuses; 1 cm equals 1 second, so if you want 2 minutes delay
just use 120 cm of fuse. Visco fuses are excellent for this purpose but there
are even better ones at some sites.
General pyrowares:
much of the above can also be ordered online from pyro-chem sites. The best are
located in Eastern Europe since regulations are less tight.
Conclusion:
there is absolutely NO GOOD REASON why anyone (unless flagged by the
intelligence agency) shouldn't be able to acquire the above materials and gear
WITHOUT detection. The only thing that is holding you back is unfounded fear or
laziness! Your fear for detection cannot be justified, unless you have an
Islamic name<3
Ingredients needed for 1,5kg of Picric Acid secondary/booster
1.
10 liters of 90%+ sulfuric acid (requires 2 days of labour, cost: aprox
200 euro)
2.
1,6 kg of Acetylsalicylic acid (requires 4 days + 2 days of labour, cost:
aprox 1500 euro)
3.
3 kg of Sodium Nitrate (pre-ordered at apothecary, 1 week delivery time,
cost: aprox 500 euro). This can also be synthesized relatively easily if you are
having trouble buying it.
4.
80 liters of distilled water/distilled ice cubes (cost: aprox 440 euro)
1. 10 liters of 90%+ sulfuric acid
Estimated time required: 1-3 days to purchase the product (28-37%) and it
requires 2-3 days of labour to concentrate it to 90%+.
Boiling down 35 liters of un-concentrated sulfuric acid (28-37%) to 10 liters of
90%+ concentration
In order to concentrate sulfuric Acid bought from stores (containing 28-37%) you
will have to boil down the liquid. In order to get 10 liters of 90%+ sulfuric
acid you need approximately 30 liters containing 28-37%.
I bought a container of 25 liters (28%) from one supplier (supplies car shops
etc) and I bought 5 bottles from 3 other retailers each containing 1 liter. I
also bought 4 car batteries in case I needed more.
I was uncertain how I should approach the "boiling down process" at first. The
guides I had reviewed suggested you use specialty hot-temperature porcelain
plates, use of specialty lab beakers, use of cooking stones to prevent sprouting
and to use all necessary protection gear.
As such; I assumed you needed specialty cooking plates that could reach
very high temperatures and that I would need boiling stones and specialty
laboratory glassware that could sustain extreme temperatures. Needless to say;
the guide was wrong on all accounts! You don't need any of this to concentrate
sulfuric acid! Not hot-temperature porcelain plates (any plates will do), not
specialty lab beakers (any regular Duran lab beakers will do) and not boiling
stones (I tried with boiling stones and it made it harder).
I initially bought 3 induction plates (flat porcelain) but they didn't function
as my 2L beakers didn't cover the minimum diameter required for the induction
plates to function. I used standard inexpensive lab beakers made from Duran
glass btw. I also broke two other beakers made from Duran glass (crushed them to
small pieces with a hammer under a towel) in order to use it as boiling stones
(to prevent the liquid from sprouting).
As the induction plates didn't work for me I purchased 2 regular single cooking
plates; the more expensive ones with iron plates retailing for 140 euro a piece.
I had a very cheap single plate from before. Using the boiling stones was a
failure for me so I reduced the amount of stones until I decided to remove them
all and try without. I was also unsure how to store the concentrated sulfuric
acid once I was done boiling. Some sources said glass was required while other
said you needed specialty plastic. This was incorrect, as I stored my 90-95%
acid in regular plastic bottles, in both 1 liter bottles (the bottles which were
intended for 28% sulfuric acid) and 4 liter bottles (bottles produced for
distilled water). I encountered absolutely no problems doing this whatsoever ( I
had them in these bottles for up to 6 weeks).
Boiling procedure
I did the boiling outside using a 10 meter electrical extension cord and I
placed the cooking plate on a wooden TV rack I had carried outside. I wore a lab
coat with apron with standard nitril washing-up gloves and a 3M half mask with
3M acid filter (nr. 60923 - multifilter). Skipping the stones made wonders and
it quickly started boiling (set it on the highest temperature from the start).
After 1,5 hours of boiling (concentration at about 70-80%) the more or less
unnoticeable water damp developed into thick smoke (NOx gas). After around 2
hours of boiling the smoke was so thick I got really worried that my neighbours
would notice it so I quickly cut the power. Even after turning it of it
generated insane amounts of white smoke (NOx gas) for 20 more minutes. I then
decided I had to do the rest during nighttime, not to attract any attention.
That night, I started the next boiling session with 3 boiling plates at around
21.30 since it got dark at 23.00 when the heavy smoke would begin to generate. I
started with 1,8L of un-concentrated sulfuric acid in each of my 2 x 2L beakers
and 600ml in my 1 x 1L beaker which was used on my "weaker" plate. I worked from
21.30 to 07.00 in the morning for three consecutive days before I finally was
done. End note: I tried to extend the working day past 07.00 on day two which
almost ended in disaster. At around 09.00 AM, I was about to put on my hazmat
suit and 3M gas mask to start another boiling session when I noticed the
neighbour just outside the house entrance. Had I not noticed this in time I
would have to explain to him why I was wearing the protective gear, and that
wouldn't end well... So if possible, even when on an isolated farm; do the
boiling between 23.00-07.00 if possible. No use taking unnecessary risks. I
spent 5-6 days on this process considering the fact that I had to combat false
information, misconceptions and
work out efficient procedures . If I had access to this guide before I started I
would have been able to shorten down this process to 2 days.
Additional boiling tips:
a.
Consider buying 5 or even 6 single cooking plates to reduce the boiling time
drastically. Cutting the boiling time in two will drastically reduce your
vulnerability to detection considering the fact that you are forced to work
outdoors.
b.
You will quickly learn your "progress" (purity level of sulfuric acid) by
evaluating the thickness of the smoke and how many ML has been boiled away. If
you start at 1,8L of 28% purity just boil it until it reaches 550ml or so to be
sure you have 90%+.
c.
Unless you are using identical cooking plates you will want to adjust the amount
of ML per cooking plate so that you have maximum uptime and so that the
concentration reaches 90% on all plates at the exact same time. You will learn
this after the first session.
d.
Let the acid stand for 30-40 minutes after you cut power to the plates by
unplugging the electrical cord extender.
e.
You can store 90-95% sulfuric acid in plastic bottles.
f.
Concentrated sulfuric acid does not fume or evaporate.
g.
You don't need to go overboard with protection. It will take 10-20 seconds for
90%+ sulfuric acid to burn through regular nitril gloves (medium thickness
washing-up-gloves) and several seconds for it to burn through clothing. Just be
rested and careful and you'll be fine. I got several drops on my gloves on
several occasions and I just wiped it off with a napkin (napkin quickly turns
black) before it could burn through. Avoid the "one-time-use" super thin gloves,
even if its nitril. The most important things to wear are regular nitril gloves,
an apron and some kind of full face visor. 3M masks are excellent since they
prevent fogging on the visor.
2. 1,6 kg of Acetylsalicylic acid
Purifying the aspirin to pure acetylsalicylic acid. All the guides I reviewed,
around 8, had flawed or even dysfunctional methods. I had to locate an entirely
different method from YouTube which proved to work excellently.
Estimated time required: 4 days to purchase the product in a secure manner
(assuming each apothecary has a 2 box cap). You would need to set up an
"apothecary route" visiting 20-30 apothecaries in one day, then wait 1-2 weeks
for safety and repeat 3 more times the next 4-8 weeks. As soon as you have all
the aspirin it will require 10 minutes to pulverize it with a regular stationary
or handheld blender and approximately 2 days to synthesize.
Other reagents needed: distilled water, mineral and distilled ice cubes: around
40-50 liters
You will need purified aspirin equivalent to 2,5kg of aspirin tabs/270 boxes of
20 tabs (mostly containing 440mg (producer: Nycomed, brand name: Globoid) but
about 1/6th was a different brand containing 500mg tabs (producer: Bayer, brand
name: Aspirin). You will be synthesizing 1,6 kg or more of pure acetylsalicylic
acid from 2,5 kg of impure aspirin tablets. The reason you need to purify the
aspirin is to remove the 17% of so called "fillers", stark etc. The maximum
yield of pure acetylsalicylic acid you can extract from aspirin is 83%, if I
remember correctly. I managed to extract aprox 67% (1,68kg out of 2,5kg) which
is a good yield. It's worth noting that all the guides I could locate online
were either incorrect or significantly flawed. All the guides I read failed to
inform me that if you heat the aspirin to more than 70C it will destroy the
acetyl and convert it to salicylic acid which is worthless for our purpose.
Of course, I had to learn it the hard way and managed to create a lot of
worthless goo... Fortunately, I eventually managed to locate a method that
worked optimally and I only ruined the first batch.
a.
Grinding the aspirin; some retarded
guides suggested I use a mortar and pestle... Needless to say, after a few
hours, my wrists hurt like hell, and I realized this was an extremely poor
method for the quantities I was working with. There must be a better way? I
ended up experimenting and I found a very nice method. I put out a large plastic
sheet on the floor and poured aprox 1000 tabs on it, spreading it evenly. I then
used a 20kg dumbbell (single hand weight used for weight training) and crushed
the tabs with even strokes by using gravity. It took me less than 4 hours to
crush all the tabs. In retrospect I realize that using a blender would be even
better. Providing you use a blender (I prefer stationary, but I guess handheld
works as well) which assures a good and even spread/circulation as you grind
them (same principle as when grinding AN prills) it should only take you 10
minutes to grind up 2,5kg of aspirin tabs. It's worth buying several brands of
blenders to find out which offers the best circulation. Basically; only 1 out of
5 blenders offers appropriate circulation. Handheld blenders are probably the
exception here since your motion determine the circulation, providing you grind
it in an appropriately shaped container. With circulation I mean that as the
lower part of the tabs gets grinded to fine dust, the heavy pieces of the tabs
rise to the top until they are "sucked" down the "downward whirling current" -
providing optimal grinding. I bought a total of 8 different blenders and only 2
of them worked efficiently for this purpose (at least for AN prill grinding).
When completed; you now have 2,5kg of fine aspirin powder.
b.
Manufacturing method
·
2,5kg of aspirin powder
·
5L of 95% ethanol (you can use the concentrated blue ethanol used for cleaning
the windshield of cars f example, other types of alcohol works as well like
isopropanol or butanol)
·
Distilled water, distilled ice cubes: 40-50L
You will need 1ml of 95% ethanol for every tablet. This means that for 50g of
aspirin (114 tabs x 440mg) you will need 114ml ethanol. Since you have larger
quantities of materials you should use higher ratios as an effective way to save
time:
I used the following ratios when manufacturing (these ratios are optimal!):
·
1040ml ethanol (I used primarily Isopropanol, 80-95% concentrated blue sprinkler
fluid)
·
400g aspirin powder
·
6L distilled ice water
Alcohol note: I believe I used 95% concentrated sprinkler fluid:
ethanol-Isopropanol (the liquid used for cleaning car windshields) but it might
have been lower grade (80%?). I can't know for sure since it wasn't specified on
the bottle. I performed a fire test and it burned, that's all I know...:P I also
made a batch with butanol (concentrated red spirits used as a fuel for some
apparatuses). Since this batch was successful as well, I assume a large range of
alcohols will do the job. However, I have read that methanol is not suitable.
1.
In a 2L beaker, heat up 1040ml of 95% ethanol on a hot plate stirrer. Drop a
spin bar in the beaker and start mixing in 400g of acetylsalicylic acid powder,
under stirring, f example as the temperature reaches 50C. Very important; keep
the heat between 60-70C. Do NOT let the heat surpass 70C as it will start to
break down the acetyl and convert the compound into salicylic acid, which is
useless for our purpose! The acetylsalicylic acid should be dissolved within
5-10 minutes if it is powdered, 10 more minutes if it is clumped, and up to 45
minutes if you are using whole tablets.
2.
Filter hot, for regular gravity filtration you should use 4-6 funnels with 1-2
coffee filters in each (I used 1 but you should probably use 2) over f example
4-6 x 600ml beakers. Wash the 2L beaker with a small amount of ethanol and pour
it through the filter to collect any residues. Then you may wash the filter 1-2
times with a small amount of ethanol to collect any residues. The compound left
in the filter will be the aspirin fillers. Discard the filters and its content.
3.
As you now have approximately 1,4L of
ethanol-acetylsalicylic acid in your 2L beaker; pour 350ml into 4 x 2L
beakers.
4.
Place the first 2L beaker with hot 350ml of ethanol-acetylsalicylic acid mix
into an ice bath. As an ice bath container; you may f. example use a regular 10
liter plastic bucket (a 2L beaker fits this type of bucket perfectly with enough
space for ice) filled with 0,5 liter of cold spring water and 3-4
plastic-pocket-sheets of distilled ice-cubes. You must use a weight of some sort
to keep the 2L beaker submerged in the ice-water mix or it will float to the
surface and fail to properly chill. You must now measure out approximately 5
times the volume of your ethanol-acid mix in ice cold distilled water that you
cooled earlier. So for 350ml you will need 1750ml of distilled ice-water (very
important; ensure that the distilled water is as cold as possible or you will
not achieve maximum yield!). Add the ice cold water to the ice cold ethanol mix.
This should more or less completely fill up your 2L beaker. The addition of the
distilled ice-water will cause the acetylsalicylic acid to precipitate as it is
insoluble in ice cold water.
5.
Now filter the white slurry by gravity filtration using 6-10 funnels/filters/
500ml beakers. You will obtain a white slurry-like compound in the filters.
Remove the filters and its content, by wrapping them (so that the contents
doesn't fall out) and temporarily store them in a large plastic box. Empty the
beakers (just pour the liquid in the sink) and get ready to repeat this process
as soon as possible with your 3 other 2L beakers filled with 350ml of hot
ethanol-acid mix. Try to complete the batch while the ethanol-acid mix is still
hot as it might impact the yield if the hot ethanol-acid mix is allowed to chill
to room temperature. I used more than an hour from start until I completed the
last beaker and I didn't notice any difference regarding the end result though.
Note:
·
If you follow the above "aggressive" manufacturing method you should be able to
complete all the batches (1,68kg total) within one single day of labouring.
·
I managed to achieve a 67% yield (1,68 kg out of 2,5kg aspirin) because I was a
bit sloppy when chilling the ethanol-acid mix (did not use weight to keep
container submerged, and I could probably have chilled the ice water even more).
If it hadn't been for that I would have managed to increase my yield.
·
The guide further suggest that you purify the acetylsalicylic acid a second
time. I did not purify the
acetylsalicylic acid. I do not know how this would impact PA production. Will
the picric acid yield achieved be lower or even significantly lower if the
acetylsalicylic acid isn't purified a second time?
·
Alternatively; you may use vacuum filtration for speed if you have the
equipment.

This method - further discussed:
Q1:
Can you use
cheap 70% isopropanol or methanol?
A:
The extra water in 70% IPA would reduce the solubility of ASA and increase the
amount of water required to precipitate most of the ASA.
As for methanol, you have a lower BP and higher vapor pressure to deal with. You
have
to prevent loss of solvent (round bottom flask + condenser) and deal with the
fire hazard (methanol is significantly more flammable, vapors even more so; and
the flames in a well lit lab aren't visible).
A:
I used the 70% IPA and
it worked fine. Just used a little more distilled water...
A:
You don't want to use too much alcohol otherwise you will dissolve other
impurities such as triacetin. The ratio mentioned is the best ratio that has
worked for me.
Q2:
Is there any way to check if what I got is ASA?
A:
An absolute way to test
would be using FTIR spectroscopy or NMR spec. which may tell you what else is in
the precipitate. If you want to test *only* for the ASA/SA in the precipitate,
you could add sodium carbonate (CO2 = positive for ASA or SA), test melting
point, etc.
The easiest way though would be to add some metal cation that would selectively
precipitate the ASA such as Cu+2, Ni+2
c. Gathering and drying
I chose to store wrap up the coffee filters containing the wet acetylsalicylic
acid in a large plastic container until I was ready to process it.
I placed the filled filter papers on a super absorbent rag 5 times to get out
most of the water. Afterwards I gently squeezed another rag on top of the papers
absorbing even more liquid.
I then used a plastic board, opened the seaming on the coffee filters and
flattened them out like a pancake scraping off the content using a rubber
scraper (the item used to evenly distribute cream on cakes is optimal).
After I had scraped out all the acid from the filter papers I spread the
substance out evenly on the plastic board and placed the board in a room with an
oven set to max. The temperature rose to around 30 degrees in the room. The day
after much of the water had evaporated. I then semi grinded the acid clumps and
again spread it out evenly. After three to four days the acid was completely
dry. Note: I'm not sure whether this is optimal way of drying as it takes
several days for the acid to dry this way.
It would probably be a better idea to dry the acid in a large glass Pyrex dish
in the oven at around 50-70C. 1,6kg would be too much for one dish so you would
in this case have to divide it into 400g batches. However; I do not know for
sure how this will impact acid, which is why I chose the hard way. It is
definitely worth testing though as you will save several days drying it in the
oven versus my other method.
You now have 1,6kg of acetylsalicylic acid and you have just completed the
second most tedious task of PA manufacturing.
3. Sodium nitrate
Sodium nitrate can be purchased from specialty chem stores, online or at an
apothecary. It is commonly used to prevent bacteria growth in meat so many
hunters buy it to prepare meat before freezing. Half a teaspoon is mixed with
salt and other herbs and rubbed into 25kg of moose meat f example.
Alternatively; you may synthesize sodium nitrate relatively easily. However, I
will not add the guide for this manufacturing method here.
4. Distilled water
Always use distilled water when preparing and manufacturing acetylsalicylic acid
and picric acid. You may buy it in car-stores as it is used as battery water. I
ended up buying a total of 170L for creating 1,5kg of picric acid.
Practical tips - preparing large quantities of ice cubes: acquire a big freezer
where you can store a lot of distilled ice (you fill the plastic "pocket sheets"
with distilled water and squeeze the frozen cubes out of the plastic as your
need arises). I converted 40-50L of distilled water into ice cubes this way
(took me about 10 hours) and I filled up a large freezer for this purpose. You
can only prepare smaller batches of ice cubes at a time though as you can only
stack 2 layers of plastic ice-cube sheets at a time. Then you will need to wait
30-60 mins for it to freeze or the weight of the water will cause leakage in the
lower levels of ice cube sheets. I also prepared ice cubes made from spring
water. Just mark the plastic sheets of mineralized water with a large black X,
from a permanent marker, on each side, prior to filling, so you know which sheet
contains distilled and which contains mineralized water.
Producing Picric Acid
Now that you have prepared 1,6kg of acetylsalicylic acid and 9-10L of 90%+
sulfuric acid you are halfway into manufacturing picric acid.
See guide
I used the following measurement for creating PA. I had a negatively
disproportionate amount of sulfuric acid so I used a little more acetylsalicylic
acid and sodium nitrate.
In a 1L conical flask I heated 600ml (700 is optimal) of 90%+ sulfuric acid in a
1L conical flask up to 60C. I then, over the next 2-4 minutes mixed in 112g of
acetylsalicylic acid under stirring (using a hotplate magnetic stirrer). I then
turned off the heat as the nitration would ensure enough heating.
I then started the nitration process (adding 190g of sodium nitrate slowly the
next 140 minutes. I added 0,3g each 15 seconds for a total of 1,2g per second
making sure to keep the temperature between 60-70C. I kept the temperature at
around 66C to be precisely. Keeping the temperature stable at around this heat
is essential. After about an hour I had to turn up the stirring power to max as
the liquid thickened.
After 140 minutes the solution was fully saturated (even though I had 24g of
sodium nitrate left) and it "bloomed". Blooming is like a reversed melting
process in which the solution solidifies and no amount of stirring can stop it.
I do not know for sure if this is correct as I have never seen a guide
describing it. Regardless, I kept on stirring every 5 minutes for the next 30
minutes, and then every 10 minutes for the next 30 minutes to prevent the
increasingly "growing" substance from overflowing. This was one of my
"successful" batches which contained approximately 40-50% pure PA crystals. 80%
of my batches "bloomed" in this manner. It took around 4-5 hours for the
container with the unpurified PA to reach room temperature. The 1L conical flask
was 800ml full. At this point, I could continue the process by slowly scraping
out 400 ml of semi-clumps of PA into a 2L beaker with 500ml of distilled water
and the rest distilled ice cubes (filled up to 1400 ml). After proper
precipitation I poured it into 6 x 500ml beakers with the same amount of
funnels/filter papers, saving the filtrate and pouring out the liquid into a
100L plastic bucket (which was later to be dumped near a death-sentenced-bush,
outside:)
Corrections to previous guide based on my own experiences and research while
producing 10 batches of unpurified PA. When I first started this production
process I assumed I would end up with a relatively pure end product, perhaps
70-80% pure after washing a couple of times. Needless to say; it was
significantly more time consuming than I thought and I had to learn the hard way
due to significantly lacking and even misleading guides. The positive surprise
though, was that handling PA was significantly safer than I thought. I started
out as overly careful as regards to PA and metal. Although you have to be
careful, know that PA is perhaps the most safe booster you can work with.
Unpurified PA isn't, in most cases, even flammable. So you don't need an
exceptional fume hood and fan. An improvised version will work just as well for
this purpose. After I had bought a fume hood I invested in two fans, one cheap
version (it was actually just a dust collector suction fan) retailing for 140
euro. I also invested in a much more expensive fan (especially manufactured to
prevent explosion) retailing for 950 euro. It would seem I was way too paranoid
as the only dangerous gas you ever need to worry about when manufacturing PA or
DDNP is the NOx gas during nitration and also H2S and SO2 during DDNP
manufacture when acidifying the sodium picramate solution but these gasses
aren't explosive at all. I was somehow worried that the anti-metallic nature of
PA would prevent me from using a metallic fan-tube. However, using one is not a
problem at all as all the PA remains in the beakers. So don't worry at all about
explosive gasses cause there aren't any. And you don't need a hazmat suit
either. Just use regular nitril washing-up-gloves and a good 3M face mask with
visor and acid filter/vapor gas filter (nr. 60923 - multifilter) and you're more
than fine.
A few guides states: after you mix in the acetylsalicylic acid with the 90%+
pure sulfuric acid, slowly mix in the sodium nitrite. A few guides did not even
specify in more detail than this.
1.
What many guides failed to mention and which I had to learn the hard way after
ruining several batches; it is ESSENTIAL that you do the nitration (mix in the
sodium nitrite) between 60-70C. I found out that if you mix in the sodium
nitrite below 60C some of it turns into a layer at the bottom of the conical
flask which grows ever thicker. This layer can potentially sabotage and ruin
your whole batch. If the temperature suddenly rises this layer may suddenly
"melt/loosen" and cause a nitration "overdose" as it mixes with the rest of the
content which may increase the temperature with up to 20C within minutes and
severely deteriorate the yield of the batch. This layer may also affect the
magnetic stir bar and cause it to not stir properly. So make sure you prevent
this from happening by keeping the temperature around 65C and never let it drop
below 60C.
2.
What ALL the guides failed to mention was the fact that the addition of the
sodium nitrate increases the temperature of the content. So basically; as you
start the nitration just after you add the acetylsalicylic acid at around
50-60C, you don't need any heat at all during the process as you can keep the
heat between 60-70C by adding sodium nitrite (or potassium nitrate). Rapid heat
fluctuations is the most severe threat to your batch and temperatures above 70C
(not exactly sure about 70C perhaps 75C) will deteriorate your batch and cause a
significantly lower yield. By deteriorating I mean lowering your yield of pure
PA crystals from an optimal 50% down to 10% in a worst case scenario.
3.
What all except one guide failed to mention was the importance of the glassware
you are using. I used 2 x 1L beakers and 1 x 1L conical flask. All of my beaker
batches ended up with a very low yield for the following reason; the magnetic
stir bar works significantly better in a conical flask. I had problems in the
beaker as the stirring was significantly reduces (even at max power) due to the
shape of the container and the fact that I had a glass temperature rod which
very presence significantly reduced the stirring output created by the stir bar.
In any case; use a conical flask instead of a beaker if possible.
4.
On my most successful batch I used a 1L conical flask with 600ml of sulfuric
acid (90-95%). On average; I added 1,2g of sodium nitrate per minute (for my two
most successful batches). Instead of dropping 1,2g in one go each 60 sec, I
added aprox 0,3g every 15 sec (in other words 4 times x 0,3g per minute). I sat
there for 2 hours and 15 minutes doing that on my most successful batch (with 2
x 5 minute breaks). You can imagine the agony of sitting there with a 3M gas
mask on a rotten chair with your back hurting adding 0,3g every 15 sec. Its
repetitive, extremely boring and frustrating. You will start to curse the fact
that you didn't set up a TV nearby, or the fact that you only bought one hot
plate stirrer instead of three. The prospect of doing this 10 times can be
psychologically challenging. So take all measures to make your time more
efficient. I managed to barely survive with my sanity intact thanks to my iPod<3
5.
Acquire 3 x hot plate stirrers if possible. The nitration process is an
extremely tedious and frustrating process. With three hot plate stirrers you can
add 0,3g in three separate conical flasks speeding up this bitch of a task 300%.
A hot plate stirrer retails for 300-500 euro so its affordable. Also, its less
suspicious to buy 1 than 3:) as three mostly indicates that you are going to
resell them<3
6.
Creating PA proved to be a very unforgiving manufacturing method. Several things
can go wrong, and most of these things relate to impatience -> too much sodium
added per minute -> temperature rising to fast f example; I took a break a
couple of mins too long and came back to see the thermostat at 59C. I tried to
compensate with a little extra sodium nitrite, which didn't seem to have any
effect on the temp. I added more and suddenly the temperature exploded and ended
at 81C. A couple of other times I got too impatient and added too much per
minute (although at the time I believed that a temperature above 70C wouldn't
make a difference - I eventually learned that it makes all the difference). You
need to be rested and focused before you begin this process (I was exhausted on
several occasions which made me lose focus a few times and thus ruin the batch).
As long as you focus and add the sodium nitrite 2-4 times per minute x 0,2-0,4g
you should be fine.
Prepare mentally for the nitration process. Don't start if you are physically
tired or if you need to eat any time soon. Just prepare and if possible have a
radio, TV or iPod at your disposal.
7.
Don't assume that the precipitate you end up with will be above 60% purity.
Consider the precipitate you end up with grapes, whereas the actual pure PA
crystals are the seeds in the grapes. If you do the process flawlessly the seeds
will be large, but if you make mistakes, they will be significantly smaller.
This will save you the disappointment I encountered:-). Out of 1,2kg of
unpurified PA substance I ended up with only 200-300g of pure PA crystals. Had I
done everything optimally I would have ended up with 1,5kg of unpurified PA
substance and perhaps 0,8-1kg of pure PA crystals.
8.
You can mix in the acetylsalicylic acid quickly. I never spent more than 5
minutes mixing it in, in the beginning of the process. As soon as you have mixed
it in and it has fully dissolved you can start the nitration process. I usually
mixed it in at around 60C and started the nitration process at around 60-65C.
Washing
It says in most guides that you need to wash with ice cold water 2-10 times.
Basically, if you want to do this; just pour water over the filter to clean away
sulfates. However, as you need to purify your yellow PA substance anyway, it is
pointless to wash it! As I didn't know this at that time I washed the
PA-substance 2 times, and the batch intended to create DDNP; 4 times.
How to find out whether your yellow unpurified PA substance is pure
Fire test:
Purified (<80%) PA burns, unpurified PA (>60%) does not! I would imagine it
would burn faster and more consistent the purer it is. I tried the fire test on
all my batches of un-purified PA substance and none ignited, not even my best
batch, even though I heated it until completely dry in the oven. I would
therefore assume that you need a certain % of pureness for the substance to
ignite - perhaps 50-60%+
Eye sight:
I found this out myself by observation of substance and comparing to the yield
achieved by the purification process. The more pure your PA substance is the
more it will "sparkle". It is the pure PA crystals that make it sparkle.
Needless to say; the more crystals, the more sparkles. Usually, an optimal
produced batch of unpurified PA substance is pale yellow that "sparkles". It's
worth noting though that one of my pale yellow batches had a very low yield so
color isn't everything and 100g of pale yellow PA substance can in fact prove to
yield less than 20% of pure PA crystals.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT assume that your unpurified PA substance is suitable as a high
explosive booster! On my test blast I used 3g DDNP with 50g unpurified PA
substance as a booster. At this point in time I believed it was potent but
wanted to test for sure. Needless to say, the completely dry impure PA substance
did not detonate and was just spread all over after the blast. I later (when I
purified the rest of the same batch) found out the yield in that batch was a
lousy 10%, so no wonder it didn't detonate.
Purification
Time required: 3-4 days for 1,5kg of unpurified PA substance.
Purification of the yellow unpurified PA substance is required as you need to be
sure that the substance is potent. You will need approximately 40-50 liter of
distilled water to purify 1kg of unpurified PA substance. You also need a 2L
beaker for boiling/mixing and 20-40 other glass containers for chilling the
liquid after the boiling/mixing. The chilling process will take up to 1-2 days
so unless you have enough time, you should get A LOT of glass containers, to do
everything in 1-2 batches.
Boil up 1,3 L of distilled water (70-80C) in a 2 L beaker. You don't need a
hotplate-magnetic stirrer for this as a limited amount of stirring is needed. In
fact a regular plate would go considerably faster since it heats up faster.
Start to dump in the unpurified yellow PA powder (powdered or clumps - around 50
g, exact weight isn't important). If the amount doesn't saturate the liquid you
can put more in, until it is no longer soluble and bits of PA floats around.
Just ensure everything dissolved before you go to the next step. Have a
container of 500 ml additional water nearby and add it once you need to dissolve
the insoluble PA. You can regulate the temperature somewhat with adding
additional water to ensure the temp doesn't exceed 80C. I don't know for sure
whether temps exceeding 80C will deteriorate the PA but I read from another
source to keep temp between 70-80C so no harm following that advice. It said
another place to remove the brown oil droplets. I tried this in the beginning
with a plastic spoon but noticed that it impacted the yield of pure PA as I also
removed some pure PA floating around with the droplets. I only noticed the brown
droplets in my first batch which was very poorly made, but not in the other
batches. There will hardly be any so just ignore this altogether.
1 L of liquid is saturated with 15 g of pure PA so this fact allows you to
measure the yield of your yellow PA powder and the number of grams you can
expect to purify. 50g of yellow PA powder in my case yielded from 10-50% of pure
PA crystals. My poorest yield was my first batch. 300 g of PA powder was almost
inert and yielded only 30 g of pure PA crystals. The other batches of PA powder
was a better yield ranging from 15-50%.
When the liquid is saturated (you should have 1,8L of PA liquid), filter hot
into glass containers. Filtering hot is not very important unless your PA powder
is very unclean, like my batches (it was everything from bugs to other small
impurities like pieces of plastic). I filtered 1,8 L into 4 x 500 ml beakers but
since I only had 10 of these beakers I eventually started using all types of
glassware. Since the crystals (when cooling slowly) "grow" slowly like bacteria
I assumed using items which they use to boost bacteria growth would work in
these cases as well. I experimented with various glass containers, different
shapes and sizes. I used flat, long (long drink glasses), small, with everything
from glass rods and plastic sucking straws in.
My findings were not 100% conclusive, in fact I'm still very uncertain, but I
got the impression that certain shapes and sizes will allow for a greater yield.
Smaller containers seemed better than large containers and adding plastic
sucking straws so the crystals got more "surfaces" to grow from was a slight
bonus. Beakers larger than 600ml yielded a lower result. I ended up buying 18
long drink glasses (each 300ml) which yielded an ok result. I was surprised to
learn that the best yield was from a large circular glass bowl (5 liters) which
I placed 1 liter of liquid in. It was an unclean bowl I had previously used to
store my bananas in (in a plastic bag). In any case; the yield of pure PA
crystals was 100-200% better than in other containers. I do not exactly know
why; perhaps it was the dust particles in the bowl or possibly bacteria that
promoted the increased growth. In any case; it indicates that the described
purification method is flawed and the issue is worth investigating further. For
obvious reasons, I don't have time for more research into this issue. Also keep
in mind that larger glass containers uses considerably longer to cool (several
extra hours).
Cool the two 600 ml beakers to room temp. For a 500 ml beaker this took 4,5
hours and a few hours extra for the 2L beakers. I notices, however, that when I
let the beakers sit overnight (for a total of 12 hours) there was considerably
more PA crystals generated. However, I do not know for sure if this will impact
the total of crystals generated after you have further cooled it down in the
fridge.
When the beakers and other glassware you might have used are at room temp (don't
hesitate to let it stand for several extra hours, perhaps up to a day or two,
after it has hit room temp) - then, put the beakers in the fridge. It said in
another guide that I was to put it in the fridge for one hour but I'm pretty
sure he meant that I chill the liquid down to 4C. Considering that I was
purifying 1kg of unpurified PA powder and I had A LOT of beakers and other glass
containers, it took 12 hours in the fridge for the beakers to reach 4C (since
the room temped containers raised the refrigerator temperature from 4C to 12C
within the first hour...:-) So, if
you have a small fridge, like I did, consider chilling the containers in a
"transit location", if possible, in order to shorten the "fridge time". I used
the cellar floor which holds 8C. This saved me a total of 36 hours of "fridge
time".
Filter once the liquid hits 4-5C (perhaps we can even increase generation rate
if we let stand even longer. I am really not sure about this but it is worth
investigating further.
The other guide said: scoop the crystals out of the filter. However, I like to
save the crystals in the filter until I have a large enough batch to process as
it maintains the moisture well and keeps it cool. I also like to process the
filter papers all at once by using a 2m x 1m plastic board. I open the "seam" on
the coffee filter papers and flatten it out like a pancake. Then I use a
plastic/rubber spoon like object (the item used to smear cream on cakes) to get
all of the content out.
Storage
When you have taken out all the crystals from the filters, put them in a plastic
box and keep them with at least 20% water content (no problem if you take them
out of the moist filters - newly moist filters = aprox 100% water content).
These should be used within 2-3 weeks or they may start to deteriorate and/or
may increase sensitivity and thus become more dangerous to transport (according
to another guide). If you store them saturated with alcohol in a sealed glass
container, you can basically store them safely for 100 years +.put in oven for
an hour.
Drying before use
Dry in oven for 30 mins to 4 hours based on water content between 50-80C before
use. I dried the unpurified PA substance in the oven (no problem) but haven't
yet confirmed with pure PA crystals. It should be safe because I dried DDNP in
the oven the same way, which should be considerably more sensitive.
Preparing 1800kg of AN prills (CAN 27-0-0)
There are large 300-600L diesel tanks in most farms (for fueling the tractor) so
just call the supply company and order the required amount of diesel. My 300L
tank was almost half full so I ordered an additional 150L this way. I also
bought 5 x 20L gas tanks to transport the diesel from the equipment building
(where the diesel tank was) to the barn cellar (where I was going to manufacture
the ANFO). Since a 20L plastic tank is too heavy to handle efficiently I poured
the content into 5 x 4L plastic bottles which I had leftover from all the
distilled water used previously.
When you make the order at your local farming supplier (the supplier near the
farm you are renting) you should order twice as many "dummy fertilizer).
Obviously, before you can make an order in the first place you need to register
a "farming company" and acquire a "producing number" from your government. In
other words, you have to register as an "official farmer" or you will not be
able to make an order from the farming supplier. You should also have enough
farming land to justify the order you are placing. 50-90 decares (5-9 hectares)
should allow you to easily justify the purchase of 4-5 tons of fertilizer
whereas half being CAN 27-0-0. If you do not take these precautions there is a
chance you may not pass the scrutiny of the farming supplier as red flags will
arise. Also. f example when you order 3 x 600kg bags of CAN27 you should also
order at least 3 x bags of the two other types of fertilizer. I ordered 5 x
600kg bags of CAN27 and 5 x of 600kg "dummy bags" which proved to be too much
for one person to process.
I then told the office to place the CAN inside of the equipment building and the
rest outside. The supply truck uses a "hook" that can place the bag in a 3m
radius of the truck. The positive thing about this is that I could close the
building sliding door (3 x 3m) and further process the AN without anyone outside
noticing.
I then brought 14 x 50kg fertilizer bags (previously ordered from a Chinese
company, the bag has two layers, a carry layer and an inner plastic bag that
prevents moisture getting in or out) and filled up the bags, transporting them
to the barn basement by car (the barn basement is 100m away from the equipment
building). When I had emptied 3 x 600kg bags I had around 36 x 50kg bags which I
had transferred to the barn basement. Don't worry about water absorption at this
point as the prills have a layer that prevents the prills from absorbing liquid.
I bought several different blenders (both stationary and handheld) and found a
suitable machine, which I bought 8 of. This blender, a stationary Electrolux
machine with an ice crushing function offered optimal circulation of grinded
material vs. prills which allowed me to grind 1kg every 30 seconds. I set up 4
of these blenders 5cm from each other on a work bench with an empty 50kg
fertilizer bag next to a bag filled with 45kg of AN prills (placed just below
the 4 blenders so you can empty the blender glass containers quickly and pour it
into the empty bag). You fill up each blender and put it on the lowest strength
grinding (you don't really need more grinding power than this and higher power
will most likely wear out the blenders considerably faster). I made a nice
rotation ensuring that the uptime of the 4 blenders. I then prepared 12 x 4L
containers of diesel close by. Although ANFO requires 7% diesel for optimal
detonation you should add 10% or perhaps even 13% like I did to account for any
evaporation etc.
As you crush the prills to fine powder it will immediately start to absorb water
from the air, so as soon as you have grinded a portion you must hurry to pour
the content in the empty bag. Once I had filled up 1/4 of the bag I added 1,7L
of diesel, before continuing. You add approximately 1,7L at as you fill up the
bag with 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4. When completed I wrapped the inner bag (like the
way you make a pig tail on hair) and closed it with 10 cm of duct tape. Then
continuing to wrap, I left 2 cm of empty space before doing the same again. I
then bent the upper wrapping down on the lower wrapping and closed it with more
duct tape. I then wrapped the outer bag with two portions of 20cm duct tape. I
don't know for sure if this is optimal, but I couldn't think of a more efficient
way to seal the bag properly. After I had grinding 600kg of prills the first
blender broke down (the knife handle broke). The second machine broke down
shortly after. I replaced these with the backup blenders and continued until I
was done preparing 34 bags x 50kg ANFO. By that Time 3 blenders had completely
broken down and one more was partly dysfunctional.
Time required to prepare 1 x 50kg bag of ANFO using the above method
It took around 30-40 minutes to prepare each 50kg bag of ANFO. So I spent around
3-4 nights (from 23.00 to 8.00) working this way until I was completely done. I
chose to work at nighttime because I wanted to do everything I could to prevent
detection. I covered the windows and closed the door on the inside (I had to
install a closing mechanism on the door). Due to the loud noise made from the 4
blenders you can't really hear anyone approaching so I wrote a note on the door
of the main building which encouraged them to call my mobile if they needed my
presence (add a smiley<3). This work is very tedious so I had my iPod on for
most of the time at max volume. I took a 5 minute break for every 2 bags I
completed (so basically every 120 minutes). Occasionally, I would have to drive
to the equipment building and fill up my 20L diesel containers.
I originally planned to process 2 more 600kg bags of AN prills but I was so
exhausted that I decided 1800kg would have to do.
Mixing in aluminium powder and micro balloons in the ANFO
Adding 10% (by weight) of aluminium powder and 2-3% (by weight) of micro
balloons will increase the sensitivity and power of your ANFO substantially.
Considering the fact that we do not have access to 34-0-0 (much purer AN) I
assumed adding at least the micro balloons would be required to ensure
detonation.
Considering the fact that AN powder will absorb water so quickly I concluded
that it would be appropriate to add the AL and MB after I had saturated the AN
powder with diesel.
You now have around 36 x 50kg bags packed with ANFO
Adding aluminium powder and micro balloons
Commercial ANFO contains approximately 2-3% of micro balloons according to a
couple of sources, which makes the ANFO more sensitive and thus requires only a
standard blasting cap to detonate. However, commercial ANFO is much purer than
the 27-0-0 CAN available to farmers.
I'm now going to mix in the AL and MB using:
45kg of ANFO
5kg of AL (I'm using 400 mesh(62 microns) leafed AL
1,2kg of micro balloons
For a total of 51,2kg per bag
The 150kg of AL came in 4 hermetically sealed drums each containing around 37kg
of AL. After reading the "security precautions", however, I was completely
freaked out. The drum openings where wielded with a soft metallic substance so
it was not going to be easy to open them without extreme risk (I thought).
According to the warnings; contact with oxygen will risk detonation of the AL,
contact with metal, concrete and even plastic will significantly increase the
chance of static electricity which can cause a detonation. Friction and shock
can also cause detonation. Close proximity of oxidizers (gas, diesel) or close
proximity to electrical outputs etc can cause detonation.
At first, I thought I would manage to create enough picric acid booster material
(1,5kg in total) to disregard the addition of AL powder. But considering the
fact that I only managed to produce 200-300g of booster I had no choice than to
continue the AL addition.
I first planned on creating an outdoor mechanism that allowed me to thrust a
steel spear like object, by using gravity, creating a 3 cm hole in the top of
the drum. However, I ended up taking a regular knife and starting to file down
the wielded enclosement, even if it involved high risk. Eventually, I manage to
file open the enclosement. I then considered putting the drum upside down in one
of my empty fertilizer bags to prevent the presence of an abundance of oxygen.
This method proved to be too exhausting since I had to hold up the 37kg drum
with my hands. I ended up with putting a large 3 x 4m plastic sheet on the
concrete floor and carefully pouring the AL powder out of the opening. Small
clouds of dust began to generate but nothing happened. I carefully continued
until the drum was empty rolling the side of the drum in a circular pattern from
the center of the AL powder already poured out, until the drum was empty. There
were small clouds of AL powder generated but the biggest one was aprox 20 cm in
diameter, which settled down after a while. I continued after the small clouds
had settled. It's also worth noting that I had closed all the windows of the
cellar basement so the humidity was relatively high, while oxygen level was
below average.
In any case, this method worked well and I had gathered all the AL powder on the
sheet, and thus preparing it for the addition to the ANFO.
I plan to mix up 1,2kg of micro balloons per 45kg ANFO. I have a total of 40kg
of MB in 5 large bags. It is a powder-like substance and inert. But according to
the sources; when mixed with ANFO or ANALFO it will generate hot spots and thus
making the ANFO or ANALFO more sensitive. I just hope I have the correct type of
micro balloons... I assumed that the micro balloons were 2 mm in diameter but
these seems to be 0,2 mm or so.
The optimal approach to DDNP manufacturing
This guide reflects the suggestions and requirements for the manufacturing of 3
batches of DDNP totaling approx 20-45g of pure DDNP crystals within 45 hours.
This should be enough for four detonators (5-8g per detonator) and some
additional material for testing.
General information and comments:
DDNP or dinol stands for Diazodinitrophenol and has the reputation of being one
of the best primaries out there when it comes to performance.
VoD: 7000 m/s @ 1,63g/cc.
Despite all the misinformation out there, stating it is so difficult to make...
- DDNP IS an EXTREMELY easy primary explosive to manufacture. I managed to
create it on the first try and none of my batches failed. Sure, there are many
steps to follow, but each step is very simple requiring only basic lab
equipment. I must admit I was discouraged reading all the misinformation out
there regarding the difficulty level and the dangers involved, seeing that I had
ZERO experience from chemistry. But seriously, If I can make it with ease, then
ANYONE can! Sure enough, the 4 individual guides I located were lacking and
incorrect. But after merging them, and correcting with my personal experience
acquired, it proved surprisingly easy. DDNP is around 10 times as stable as AP
and I believe it is the primary explosive used by armed forces worldwide atm.
Good properties for storage. Used to detonate a secondary high explosive such as
picric acid. The following guide will result in high grade DDNP with very few
impurities. I found synthesizing picric acid to be more difficult than that of
DDNP, even though PA is probably the easiest secondary you can manufacture.
Suggested equipment used:
·
6 x 2L beakers (required if you want to complete all DDNP manufacturing within
45 hours)
·
4 x 1L beakers, 2 x long glass temperature rods (works excellently as stirring
rods as well)
·
6 funnels, filter paper (coffee filters are ok)
·
1 x standard electric heating source
·
1 x hot plate stirrer with 2 x stir bars
·
3 x 1ml plastic one-time-use syringes (used to drip sulfuric acid)
·
1-2 rubber scrapers
·
1 x 10L regular plastic bucket used as ice bath container (these have a thin
bottom and a 2L beaker fits nicely in them, with enough room for ice, water -
placed on hot plate stirrer),
·
1 x 500ml graduated cylinder is a bonus although most beakers now a days are
graduated
·
Several small plastic containers to keep the various chemicals in
·
Fume hood with fan is a bonus but not necessarily required if you have a good 3M
mask with acid/vapour filter (nr. 60923 - multifilter) and good ventilation
·
3M mask with acid/vapour filter (nr. 60923 - multifilter)
·
Nitril gloves (regular washing up gloves are fine)
·
1 x hot plate stirrer with 2 x stir bars is not necessarily required but will
save you a lot of grief - highly recommended
·
3 x 1L conical flasks (for purification of DDNP)
·
3x 70-150ml porcelain dishes
(boiling dishes for purification of DDNP)
·
+ 2 x heat sources (purification of DDNP)
Total chemicals required:
·
120g of pure wet PA or 80g of pure dry PA (I suspect this is a bit of an
overkill though)
·
87g of caustic soda
·
70g sulfur powder
·
90ml sulfuric acid (90%+)
·
51g sodium nitrite (not nitrate)
·
>20L distilled water
·
1,35L acetone (for purification of DDNP)
Procedure:
1.
Into a 2L beaker, pour 300ml of dist. water and heat up to 70-80C.
2.
Add either 27g of pure dry picric acid (or 40g if wet) to this and swirl it a
little bit. It will not all dissolve however, so don't assume you're getting
anywhere by swirling it for 24 hours. Optional: I did this on a hot plate
stirrer with magnetic stir bar.
3.
Now add 4,5g of caustic soda to this. Swirl this mixture around until everything
inside dissolves. Yes, it will all dissolve just keep swirling. The solution
will turn to an orangish/red color. This is a sodium picrate solution. Keep this
on low heat (I placed it on the far end of a regular heater)
and add water as it evaporates. This is solution 1.
4.
In another beaker, pour 900ml of water and add 24g of caust soda. Bring the
solution to a rolling boil.
5.
Measure out 22,5g of pure sulfur, and crush it finely. Sieve it into the boiling
caust. soda solution making sure to get as little sulfur on the sides of the
beaker as possible. Let this boil for 60-120 min (1-2 hours), adding water as
necessary. After this amount of time, most if not all of the sulfur should be
dissolved. If you sit and watch it the whole time, you will notice a color
change from clear to green to blue to puke green, to pea green, then to a very
dark color and once all the sulfur dissolves it will be a very very dark red
color. Set this on a towel or similar device and let it cool down until it stops
boiling. The reason for the towel is so that it doesn't come in direct contact
with any room temperature (or colder) surface. This is solution 2. Note: I tried
just boiling it this way but ended up waiting 4 hours with half the sulfur left.
So I changed the approach by placing the beaker on a hot plate stirrer. Yes, you
will get sulfur on the sides this way but just wipe it away with a napkin once
all the sulfur dissolves. Using a hot plate stirrer (max heat, max stirring
power) it took around 1,5 hours before everything had dissolved.
6.
Once it stopped boiling (but is still hot) add it to the sodium picrate solution
in the other beaker, in 6 portions.
7.
Once all of it is added, place the beaker in a refrigerator until it reaches
about 4C. This took around 8 hours for me since I have a small refrigerator. On
a couple of occasions I added a couple of sheets of ice cubes in the fridge to
speed up the chilling process. Once at 4C, there should be a healthy amount of
red crystals in the bottom of the beaker.
8.
Filter the whole solution into the 2L beaker that was used in the last step.
Discard the filtrate/liquid and clean that beaker out.
9.
Pour 900 ml of water in it and bring it to a boil. Add the red crystals in the
filter (and everything else) to the boiling water and boil it for 2-3 min while
stirring a little bit. While it is still boiling; clean out the other 2L beaker
which should be empty.
10.
Filter the boiling solution into the clean 2L beaker. Discard the filter and its
contents and let the filtrate/liquid cool to room temp. This will take around
5-8 hours. This is now a sodium picramate solution.
11.
When the sodium picramate solution is at room temp, drip concentrated sulfuric
acid in there with stirring (I used a hot plate stirrer during this addition).
Ensure good ventilation as H2S and SO2 will be released. Keep dripping it in
there until it just barely tests acidic on litmus paper. This will take 3-6ml (I
couldn't be arsed to use my litmus paper so I just added 6ml, drop by drop using
a 1ml syringe). You will also notice that the color has changed from a deep red
color to a sort of rusty color (orange-brown-red). There is also a precipitate
in the beaker and a lot of it. This is picramic acid.
12.
Measure out aprox 25ml (I used around 30-35ml) of sulfuric acid and add it to
this beaker. Mix the beaker up. Add another 300 ml of water to this.
13.
Place this beaker in an ice bath and bring the temperature down below 5C. It
took me aprox 20 minutes and 4 sheets of ice to get the temp down to 4C. This is
solution 3.
14.
In another 2L beaker, pour 750 ml of water and add 17g of sodium nitrite. Swirl
it until its dissolved. This is solution 4.
15.
Place the ice bath on top of a magnetic stirrer and drop a spin bar in the
beaker. Use a thermometer in the beaker. Now slowly add solution 4 to the
picramic acid solution (orange-brown solution 3) in the 2L beaker, keeping the
temperature below 5C (use thermometer). Ensure there is no sudden rise in
temperature. Be sure to stir almost constantly during this part. You can stop
stirring if you're not adding anything if you need a break though. Once all of
it is added, continue stirring for a couple more minutes then remove it from the
ice bath. I spent around 30-40 min adding this by pouring 100ml every 5 minutes.
Let it slowly warm up to room temp (this will take 9-12 hours). You will
see a brown precipitate (the shade of brown varies sometimes). The solution
should be brown.
16.
Once it is up to room temperature, filter the solution out. There is a lot of
DDNP crystals in here, so use 3-4. Try to even the amounts of DDNP on each
filter paper when filtering.
17.
Once all the crystals are filtered out, run 60ml of ice water through each
filter to wash out some of the very soluble products (not needed if you are
going to purify it later). Remember, the DDNP is slightly soluble in water so
make sure it's very cold. The DDNP formed can be used as is, or it can be
further purified.
End note:
by using my guide, I had minimal impurities and all batches were successful.
Don't be discouraged by the seemingly "long" process. Just follow all the steps
and you practically can't go wrong. 90% of the time it takes will be "waiting"
for the temperature to decrease/increase after each of the 3 stages.
The only way you can fail is if you have very poor quality or incorrect
chemicals (f example some who attempted tried with sodium nitrate instead of the
correct; sodium NITRITE). If you have all the suggested equipment you will
complete all three batches (for a total of 15-45g of DDNP) within 45 hours.
Purification of DDNP:
·
The optimal way is the following; Dissolve 1/3rd of a batch of wet DDNP
(equivalent to 5g dry) with 150ml acetone (regular room temped) in a 250ml or
600ml beaker. Swirl it around well to dissolve as much as possible. There will
be some impurities that are un-dissolved. The solution should be cloudy brown.
Filter into another 600ml beaker using a lab filter or 2 x coffee filters. In my
batch; there was not as much impurities as expected, grey powder like substance
(I suspect this is sulfur residue). After filtration, discard the filter with
content and pour 50-80ml into the porcelain boiling dish that is placed on top
of your 1L conical flask. Ensure excellent ventilation at this point (turn on
fume hood-fan if you have one). After around 30 minutes most of the acetone
should be boiled away. Scrape it off gently into a plastic container and store,
perhaps adding a little water. Dry immediately before use.
·
Filter the solution into a 2L beaker containing 1,5L of distilled ice water with
ice cubes while rapidly stirring the liquid (magnetic stirrer). This will
convert it into bright yellow crystals. The ice cubes are scooped out and the
liquid filtered again. The filter papers will contain purified DDNP crystals.
(Important; this method does not work, according to three forum sources as the
DDNP is partly soluble in water, so you will get little if any yellow DDNP
crystals)
Safety:
DO NOT SCRAPE DRY PURIFIED DDNP OFF ANY SURFACE (I've done this many times but
anyway...<3). Get as much as you can of the loose crystal, but don't scrape at
the layer as it is friction sensitive. One guide
says: load moist in detonator while another guide states; must be dried
before it will explode. It seems to detonate while slightly moist from acetone
but Im going to completely dry it. Does not detonate when unconfined unless the
sample is larger than 6g. Will not detonate by fire when unconfined, unless more
than 6g, but will burn with a quick flash. Commonly initiated using black powder
safety fuse (Tried it and it works, although I used a couple of grams of
gunpowder taken from a shot gun shell, dunno how it affects etc.). It can be
compressed substantially without detonation. Compressed samples can still be
easily detonated.
Storage
Good properties of storage. DDNP is best stored with 25% water. Dry immediately
before use. I stored my DDNP in regular plastic boxes, in darkness, at 8,5C.
Ended up just darkening the boxes with a black permanent marker. I had several
amber glass bottles but figured it would be a pain to get the substance in/out,
due to the relatively small openings on the bottles. Store away from light. It
decomposes when exposed to direct sunlight and explodes violently when heated to
150C. Detonates easily by sparks, fire, percussion or friction. Long term
storage: submerged in water free kerozene in tightly sealed amber glass away
from light.
Drying
At one point in time; I dried 3g of unpurified DDNP in the oven at 60-70C for 4
hours. I have not tested if this is an appropriate way of drying when handling
larger batches or purified substance, but I will soon find out... Alternative
drying methods; Drying will take 24 hours if done in room temp or 2 hours if
beaker is suspended in a hot water bath. Since Im purifying the DDNP using
acetone I think ill either use the oven or boil it dry on the porcelain plate on
top of the conical flask with boiling water.
April - 2011
On April 6th I leased a car (short term lease), from AVIS; a silver grey Fiat
Doblo van with 735kg of carrying capacity. They would charge my credit card with
810 euro per month. I needed this car as I had an introduction meeting with a
farm owner the next day. I removed all the AVIS insignias so the car would pass
as my own.
I had previously made initial contact with the owner of an appropriate farm
through an online real estate forum for farms etc. At this point in time I had
regularly searched for farms with 30-100 decare of farmland the past 6 months
and had around 10 potential leads, all within 4,5 hours driving from the
capital.
I had an introduction meeting with the owner, Petter and his girlfriend Tonje,
around April 7th. They were around 37 years old and it turned out Petter was
renting out the farm for the next 2,5 years due to the fact that he was going to
jail for the specified period. He
was reluctant to state exactly what he was being incarcerated for but he
mentioned something about renting the place to someone who had used it as a
marijuana farm. So I assumed that he was somehow implicated. I presented myself
in an optimal way and it paid off; the couple seemed to love me, considering me
to be the ideal candidate. It is times like these that your acquired
experience/competence in sales will pay off. A good salesperson is also a very
talented psycho-analyst. So it's all about identifying the persons
pains/problems/worries and saying what the individual wants to hear.
I wanted to move in as fast as possible, f example from April 1st, but as he was
scheduled to leave for prison on April 19th and Tonje wanted to live there until
May 1st, this wasn't a possibility. Petter came to Oslo on April 10th and we
signed the contract. I was now significantly closer to initiating the
manufacturing phase...!
At this point in time I lived with my mom, in order to conserve as much of my
funds as possible.
On April 9th, I was inflicted with a virus by my mother and I came down with
something that later appeared to be a very resilient throat infection.
FFS, this is what happens when you live with people hanging out with
hypochondriacs...! It was the third time she had infected me the last two years
and I was very pissed off and frustrated. The manufacturing phase was SO close,
in only 20 days and now I'm potentially neutralized for the next three weeks...
I decided to ride the illness out as I thought it would pass within the
week, but it proved to be very resilient. My energy levels dropped by more than
50% and I eventually ended up with an antibiotics treatment.
It was now April 25th and I was
finally back to normal. I had spent the past couple of weeks playing through
Dragon Age II and a couple of other newly released games. Awesome! The good news
was also that I would practically immune to any bacteria's and viruses for the
next 3 months, in the most critical of all phases, as my immunity system had
been boosted and rejuvenated significantly by the virus. My training regime had
suffered and I had lost a couple of kilograms of muscle mass but most if not all
other practical things were now in place for the manufacturing phase.
On April 27th I made the order for the fertilizer which were to be delivered a
week later. Prior to making this order I had officially registered my company as
an agricultural entity, with emphasis on the growing of specific crops, and I
had gotten my official production number (a farming number) allowing me to make
orders from the national farming supplier. If they were to screen me they would
see that my company was linked to a farm that had 90 decares of fertile land so
all was well.
The last week in the capital I spent a lot of time with friends, partying and
attending various social events. I knew that it would be the last chance, for a
very long time, I would enjoy their presence.
I had somewhat of a liquidity problem though, as I had to transfer a deposit
equivalent to three months rent - 3750 euro in addition to the rent for May;
1250 euro.
This payment ate up a great deal of my remaining liquidity so I would shortly
solely rely on my 10 credit cards with a total of 29 000 credit... As the weekly
cap on all credit cards are capped at around 800 euro, I started withdrawal of
funds from 3 cards.
Events on the farm from May 2nd 2011 to June 23rd 2011
This log contains a lot of what can appear as "wining" but it serves to reflect
my mental state during the stay, a relatively detailed log of events and how I
overcame the obstacles that arose. It can also serve as an educational guide or
a blueprint for which the goal is to create a more efficient time budget.
Learning from other peoples mistakes is always preferable to making them all
yourself. It should be possible to drastically reduce the time spent on
preparation, assembly and manufacturing based on the experiences shared in this
log.
Monday May 2 - Day 1:
I drove up to the farm (2-2,5 hours from the capital) with my newly leased Fiat
Doblo with all the equipment and gear/clothing I needed. I spent most of the day
moving and getting my equipment and gear into place.
Tuesday May 3 - Day 2:
I built the fume hood from the PVC plates and screws that was enclosed in the
box. It was like an IKEA set and after a few hours I had completed it. Despite
of the suppliers assurances they had forgotten to include the 10 cm diameter
plastic fume hood tube so I wasn't able to plug in the dust collector fan. I
placed the hood on a regular 50 cm
wooden living room table. I placed the 25kg heavy fan on a 1,5 meter high shoe
shelf that I just flipped over. I placed it next to one of the living room
windows so that I could cut out a plastic sheet using the same measurements as
the window. I opened up one of the windows and taped the plastic sheet with duct
tape on the window frame and cut a 10cm diameter hole where the tube was
supposed to come out. This is the optimal way of doing it as you won't have to
cut in the wall or other surfaces. I would have to pick up a bendable vent tube
tomorrow. I also covered the rest of the windows with curtains to block anyone
trying to peek through. The fume hood was a very simple construction so if I had
more time I would probably just build one myself and save 500 euro in the
process.
Wednesday May 4 - Day 3:
Finished creating the metal skeletons for the blast devices and completing other
practical issues relating to gear and equipment.
Thursday May 5 - Day 4:
I started to grind the aspirin tablets today, at first using a mortar and
pestle. After a few hours my hands hurt and I realized this method wasn't going
to work out for this quantity. I decided I wanted to try an untraditional method
by pouring the tabs on a large plastic sheet on the floor, using gravity to
crush them with my 20kg dumbbell. This method worked excellently and I was done
in about 4 hours. Tonje, the owners girlfriend,
called me that evening. Apparently she was taking a 2 week vacation to
Gabon and she was leaving this Monday. What a blessing! She said she would come
and pick up some equipment from their storage room in the barn once she came
back. I reckon I can manage to complete everything within the next two weeks,
providing I work hard and efficient!
Friday May 6 - Day 5:
Started to synthesize acetylsalicylic acid from aspirin. Failed badly and ended
up with converting the acetylsalicylic acid to worthless salicylic acid goo (at
this point in time I didn't know it was salicylic acid but It seemed very
difficult to dry the substance). The guide I was using was significantly
lacking. I realized I didn't have any other contingency plan and I began to
somewhat panic. As I was unable to find any solution online the next two hours I
began to lose heart. As I had discarded my digital library of explosives guides
I tried to locate guides, searching online with anonymizer software, for a
completely different booster compound. As I realized that this task could take a
week or maybe two my motivation and morale at plummeted. If I couldn't even
synthesize the first phase of the easiest booster how on earth would I manage to
synthesize DDNP?! My world crashed that day and I tried to develop an
alternative plan. I went a restaurant in the northern town that evening and
enjoyed a three course meal. I later watched a few episodes of "the Shield".
Saturday May 7 - Day 6:
The only rational approach to this problem is to search online until I find a
proper guide to synthesize aspirin powder into pure acetylsalicylic acid. After
several hours of research my findings were extremely discouraging. All the
guides I had found; mainly university level chemistry projects, required a
suction filter pump and a chemistry air dryer.
The even more discouraging news was that even with this equipment none of
the university students managed to get a better yield than 30%! Omfg, this would
mean that even with the equipment I would never acquire, my total yield would
not surpass 30% which would severely cripple the overall plan... I went to
another restaurant that evening (I find it an effective method for getting my
morale up) to create a new plan. In any case; I appear to be fundamentally
fucked If I cannot manage to find a solution soon.
Sunday May 8 - Day 7:
Failure is not an option for me. I continued my search on methods for the
purification of salicylic acid online. After many hours of searching the net,
using various search phrases, I managed to locate a single YouTube clip, with
very few hits, which explained in detail an unconventional method for
synthesizing acetylsalicylic acid from aspirin. However, the guy was using a
suction filter pump and a laboratory air dryer but I figured I could bypass this
requirement by using more funnel filters and by using an air drying method.
According to the guy on the movie, he managed to achieve a 70-80% yield! This
method seemed to be viable and I would try to create a batch the next day.
Monday May 9 - Day 8:
I tried the unconventional method for synthesizing acetylsalicylic acid
with a promising result. I couldn't actually confirm that the product I had was
in fact purified acetylsalicylic acid so should I take a chance and manufacture
it all using this method?
Considering the fact that I had wasted so much time, I decided that I had no
other choice than to initiate mass production even though I risked ruining all
my aspirin. Because if I were to wait for a small batch, It would simply take
too long, so I had no other choice than to take this calculated risk.
Tuesday May 10 - Day 9:
Considering the fact that I had wasted so many days and literally been at a
standstill I felt a sudden need to create an evacuation plan as I didn't have
any. What would I do if the owners wife caught me, or the neighbour or anyone
else? I needed to work out a plan for this potential scenario. The evacuation
plan involved a 10 minute evacuation. I would have to back my largest backpack
with survival gear and relating equipment, including survival rations, 10L of
water, weapons, ammo and suitable clothing. I started to prepare the above.
Wednesday May 11 - Day 10:
I completed packing an evacuation kit. I felt a lot more safe and prepared for
any emergency once I was done. When I returned from the southern town later that
day, I saw two military 12 man teams, armed to the teeth, just 2000m south of my
farm. The largest military base in the country is located just a few kilometers
north-east of my farm and their territory extends almost all the way down to my
property. They have notified all their neighbours, me included, that they are
conducting a large military training session as to prepare a new division of
soldiers for the war against the Taliban and al-Qaida in Afghanistan. It's quite
ironic being situated practically on top of the largest military base in the
country. It would have saved me a lot of hassle if I could just "borrow" a cup
of sugar and 3kg of C4 from my dear neighbour:-)
Thursday May 12 - Day 11:
As the acetylsalicylic acid purification and the rest of the picric acid
production required a substantial amount of mineral and distilled ice cubes I
spent the whole day converting water to ice cubes; a total of 50L converted
whereas 20% of it was from mineral water. I ended up completely filling up a
very large freezer with ice-cube-plastic-pocket-sheets.
Friday May 13 - Day 12:
As the acid manufacturing went too slow I bought more funnels at the local
store, to up the production rate. I continued to synthesize acetylsalicylic acid
from aspirin that day.
Saturday May 14 - Day 13:
I continued to synthesize acetylsalicylic acid from aspirin.
It's the Eurovision finale today. I just love Eurovision...!:-) It's a lot of
crap music but I think it's a great show all in all. I've seen all the semi
finals and will take the time of to watch it later today, online. My country has
a crap, politically correct contribution as always. An asylum seeker from Kenya,
performing a bongo song, very representative of Europe and my country... In any
case; I hope Germany wins!
Sunday May 15 - Day 14:
At the last batch of preparing pure acetylsalicylic acid my hot plate stirrer
broke down. The magnetic mechanism stopped working. Fuck, Chinese piece of shit
equipment, I should have rather paid more to get good European quality
machinery...! What should I do now?
Creating picric acid and DDNP without a magnetic hotplate stirrer would be very
labour intensive and difficult and ordering a new product from a national
supplier would take at least two weeks... I really don't have much choice in the
matter. I'm ordering a new plate today and I can focus on the non-chemistry
tasks until I receive it.
I managed to completed to synthesize the last batch of acetylsalicylic acid from
aspirin without my hot plate stirrer. I now had to dry it. After scraping out
all the content from the filter papers I spread the content evenly on several
plastic boards. At first I put the boards in normal room temperature, but as
this proved to be a very slow method I ended up placing the boards in a small
room with a oven at maximum temperature (around 30C). In retrospect I realize I
would have saved several days by just drying the purified acetylsalicylic acid
in a Pyrex dish in the oven at 50-70C, but even now I am not sure what effect
heat above 30C would have on the acid. I am 70% certain it would be the optimal
method though as this oven method works (confirmed) on drying both PA and DDNP.
Monday May 16 - Day 15:
Mixing up and further drying all the acetylsalicylic acid on the plastic boards.
Tuesday May 17 - Day 16:
Since I cannot continue on the chemistry phase, due to the lack of a hot plate
stirrer, I started boiling my sulfuric acid outside. I initially bought 3
specialty induction plates (flat porcelain) but they didn't function as my 2L
beakers didn't cover the minimum diameter required for the induction plates to
function. I began with one hot plate and created boiling stones by crushing a
few small lab beakers. The boiling stones only made the boiling more difficult
and complicated so ended up without the use of boiling stones.
Wednesday May 18 - Day 17:
Continued boiling, now with three regular plates for maximum efficiency. Boiled
after dark as the smoke generated as the acid surpassed 70% was so thick and
compact that it would surely alert neighbours even several miles away.
Thursday May 19 - Day 18:
Wanted to set on a plate, boiling sulfuric acid, while I did some shopping in
the northern town. I noticed someone lurking outside the door and saw the
neighbour. There was a BMW in the upper barn area he was going to fix up for the
owner. As I was about to go outside in full protective suit, he almost saw me
before I saw him. I helped him push out the car and gave him the gasoline
required to drive it to his place. I'm going to stick to nighttime boiling from
now on to reduce my exposure to any unwanted surprises. I was very lucky today,
something I cannot take for granted in the future.
It's essential to create as much goodwill you can from the neighbours. Use any
opportunity to generate goodwill from them. This goodwill will be returned
indirectly by them not probing and investigating. If you get a visit from
neighbours, be polite and friendly, offer them sandwiches and coffee, unless it
will jeopardize the operation. The goodwill generated is likely to be to your
benefit later on.
Friday May 20 - Day 19:
Finished boiling sulfuric acid
Saturday May 21 - Day 20:
Went to the capital to pick up a few parcels; 5 large packages of micro balloons
and 50 more liters of distilled water. I also purchased a 50kg weight dumbbell
set for fertilizer grinding, costing 700 euro, as It would most likely be the
best way to crush the fertilizer prills using this method.
On my way home to the farm I noticed what I believed to be a civilian police
vehicle south of the southern town (30km from the farm). At this point in time I
remembered I had forgotten to turn on the lights on the car since I tested out
my blue LED lights the day before. Hmm, they should have stopped me for this
violation. Very weird. As I came closer to the farm I noticed what I believed to
be another civilian police car. Damn, I got a really bad feeling about this and
my instincts told me I was about to be apprehended. Too many red flags were lit.
I stopped 500 meters before the farm entrance and had a smoke, preparing
mentally for a potential welcoming party at the farm. What should I do if I was
about to be SWAT raped by a 6 or 12 man team? I didn't have any weapons
available as they were all inside the main house. Should I make a run for it, if
so, where would I go? Would I have time to fetch my evacuation kit, and should I
try to get it and shoot my way out?
After the break I approached the farm, and turned on the fog lights on the car
so that I could have an advantage should they approach me from the front. I
stopped 50 meters north of the main house and I was shocked at the sight that
awaited me...! The barn door was wide open!!! Someone was here! They were
probably circling me right now or waiting for me inside the main house! I waited
20 minutes with the fog light aimed straight at the direction I expected them to
come from. Perhaps they are not here, maybe they just installed monitoring
equipment like they often do? I entered the house, picked up the glock and
searched the house and the barn. Nothing. I began searching for monitoring
equipment, nothing...
Paranoia can be a good thing, or it can be a curse. The barn door had probably
been opened by the wind. I decided then and there that I would not allow
paranoia to get the best of me again. If they were to come for me one day, there
was really nothing I could do about it, so it would not be constructive to worry
about it.
Sunday May 22 - Day 21:
Started relocation of fertilizer. Broke down a 600kg bag into 13-14 x 50kg bags,
loaded in the truck, drove 100 meters and carried them with a "carry trolley"
into the barn. Did a full 600kg bag. Was exhausted.
Monday May 23 - Day 22:
Initiated the fertilizer grinding phase. I was unsure whether I had to pulverize
the fertilizer or not. Most guides said it was a positive thing as some
fertilizer prills are coated with an anti-absorbing layer.
I crushing a small batch, placed it in a plastic bag and soaking it in
diesel, I also prepared another small bag of prills and soaked that in fuel to
see whether it would absorb any liquid. Updated log
Tuesday May 24 - Day 23:
The prills had not absorbed any diesel at all, during the last 24 hours, so I
concluded that the only approach is to pulverize the 5 x 600 bags of 27-0-0 AN
fertilizer. I cleaned the concrete floor in the barn thoroughly and poured 50kg
of fertilizer prills on it, spreading it evenly so that I could roll the 50kg
dumbbell back and forth to crush it, and then use a broom and spade to gather up
the pulverized AN before it had absorbed a lot of moisture from the air. I was
sure that this method would work as I managed to semi-crush the prills with my
20kg dumbbell. If a 20kg dumbbell almost could do it, then surely, a 50kg
dumbbell would ensure excellent grinding. I estimated that I could grind 50kg
within 20 minutes, 3 times faster than any other method I had heard of.
To my great disappointment, crushing the prills with the dumbbell failed
miserably. The prills were only partially crushed and rolling the dumbbell
proved to be an especially labour intensive experience. Also, the crushed prills
absorbed moisture much faster than anticipated so the time required for me to
crush 50kg (2 hours) would result in more or less AN powder fully saturated with
water moisture... Fuck, why can't anything go as planned???? And the dumbbell
set cost me a total of 750 euro and now it has proven to be worthless... What do
I do now?
Wednesday May 25 - Day 24:
As this was a big setback, I decided to seek comfort and attempting to erect my
morale, which was currently in the toilet, at the restaurant in the northern
town, ordering a three course meal while readjusting the plan. I had previously
heard of a Marxist terrorist traitor in the early 70s. I believe he was called
Baader or could it have been Meinhof, terror prostitutes for the Soviets and
loyal dhimmi whores of the Islamic Ummah. Anyway; I remember reading about him
using electrical mixers to crush AN prills in his apartment. Apparently, he had
purchases several crates of these mixers and used several simultaneously for
efficiency. I'm going to test this out shortly. If electrical mixers/blenders
from the 70s could do it then surely; new modern blenders can!
Thursday May 26 - Day 25:
Shopping for blenders. Bought around 12 - stationary and handheld, different
brands for testing.
Friday May 27 - Day 26:
Started crushing fert prills, testing out the various blenders. More than half
of them where completely useless as the shape of the container prevented proper
circulation of the prills after crushing them. A suitable blender will ensure
flawless circulation and result in a fully crushed batch within a reasonable
time frame. Found a perfect blender; Electrolux. which was able to fully crush
95% of the prills, in portions of 0,5-0,7kg within 20-35 seconds.
Saturday May 28 - Day 27:
They had the Electrolux stationary blender in limited supply so I had to drive
all day to purchase 6 from three different cities.
Sunday May 29 - Day 28:
Continued relocation of the fertilizer. Did another 600kg bag.
Monday May 30 - Day 29:
Completed the third 600kg bag. I could hardly move my fingers and I was certain
that I had damaged them permanently. I decided to limit the process to three
bags as the work required to process 5 bags (3000kg) would simply be too
exhausting for one person...
Tuesday May 31 - Day 30:
I had to rest the whole day as I was completely exhausted...
Wednesday June 1 - Day 31:
Updating log
Thursday June 2 - Day 32:
I saw a car driving through the property while I was surfing the net. As
I went to greet him I noticed he was taking pictures of the farm. He, around
50-60, said he was a tourist wanting to take landscape pictures. His actions and
body language indicated however that he was lying. My instinct told me that he
was a police officer. I offered him coffee and suggested he should go down to
the river bank as it was the optimal place for taking photos. I noticed that he
continued to take pictures of the farm. When he approached the house I chatted
with him again. From what I understood, reading his body language and between
the lines, he worked for the police and he was following up on the "marijuana
farm" case. He disclosed that his daughter was a drug-sniffer-dog trainer. He
was probably taking pictures in relation to this case. I told him that some
people had set up a marijuana farm here a few years back. He seemed surprise,
although he probably knew that already. This encounter was a concern for me for
a few days, but I decided to just forget it as it wasn't anything to do about it
if he was to return. I'm just glad I gave him a good impression.
I decided to begin crushing the fertilizer using four Electrolux blenders
simultaneously. However, it made a lot of noise so I decided to do this work
from 23.00 to 07.00. I managed to complete 5 x 50kg bags, mixing in diesel 4
times per bag to distribute it evenly, then closing both the inner and outer
bags properly using 5 individual pieces of duct tape. It is essential to hurry
to place the crushed AN into the bag as it will begin to draw moisture from the
air immediately after it is crushed, even while being inside the blender
container.
Friday June 3 - Day 33:
Continued crushing prills and mixing with diesel. I got into a good routine and
managed to complete 10 bags. Very exhausting. I spent around 1 hour for each of
the first few bags the day before, but managed to increase efficiency so that I
completed 1 bag every 40 minutes (optimal achievement was 1 bag per 32 minutes).
20 bags to go... 2 of the blenders broke after processing 12 bags, even though I
used it on the lowest power alternative. Replaced them with new ones.
Saturday June 4 - Day 34:
Completed 6 bags.
Sunday June 5 - Day 35:
Completed 4 bags. 2 more blenders broke down. I have to buy a couple of new ones
tomorrow.
Monday June 6 - Day 36:
Bought two more blenders. Completed crushing 1600kg of fertilizer prills and
mixing with diesel. I'm going to save the last 200kg and possibly use it as an
"inner charge" mixed with purified RC fuel (nitro methane). I will most likely
only have enough nitro for 1 x inner charge though. After completion of the
grinding, it was prills and AN dust all over the place:)) My green AN-crushing
clothing were now grey... Surely, I'm going to die from cancer within 12 months
as I must have gotten a lot of this crap into my lungs even though I used a 3M
mask... It took a while to clean it all up to prepare for the next phase.
Watching "The Shield", a couple of
episodes each day on average. I downloaded all 7 seasons in the start of May.
Tuesday June 7 - Day 37:
Went to the capital and picked up the new hot plate stirrer that had arrived.
Wednesday June 8 - Day 38:
Started synthesizing picric acid, completed 1 out of 10 batches.
Thursday June 9 - Day 39:
I heard someone parking their car outside the house today. It was one of the
neighbours wanting to buy the current crop as animal food. As I hadn't had the
time to plant a crop of my own, the current one was primarily timotei and clover
- used for food to cows and sheep. We discussed the issue for a while and I
explained my situation to him. We agreed that he could harvest the current crop.
He would return within 14 days to initiate the harvesting. I offered him a good
price. As we strolled down to the field I was somewhat concerned that he would
notice the fume hood fan pipe sticking out of the living room window...
Continued synthesizing 2 and 3 of 10 batches of picric acid and placing the
finished compound to dry. It took a long time to complete the nitration of the
acid due to the fact that I only had 1 hot plate stirrer. If I had 3 I would be
able to complete all the PA within 2-3 days. Damn, something went wrong with
these two batches. The solution was red and it failed to nitrate properly. I
concluded that I must have used a bottle containing 37% sulfuric acid, instead
of the required 90%+...
Friday June 10 - Day 40:
Continued synthesizing 4 and 5 of
10 batches picric acid and placing the finished compound to dry. I placed 50g of
my best batch in the oven to prepare for testing and to use it for DDNP
manufacturing. Potent PA should burn when lit with flame.
To my great disappointment, nothing happened when I did the fire test...! What
the hell, how is that possible, it was completely dry and that particular batch
was manufactured perfectly according to specifications!? I did everything
according to specifications... Could the compound I have manufactured be
inert???? Unfortunate circumstances rams cock in arse once again...! I started
to have serious doubts and my morale and motivation started to shatter...
I concluded that given the recent events, I would now have to move forward with
operation B, at least continue to complete all preparations for this as the
primary operation seemed to wither away.
Saturday June 11 - Day 41:
As I was doing research on the net, a thunder storm approached, but it was still
very far away. I have never had any problems with electrical overcharges the
last 15 years because I always use specialty electrical outputs with gas
cylinder electrical overcharge protection. Suddenly my PC made a relatively
large bang, and the electricity went out. Once electricity was back on I noticed
that my PC was dead. FFS, not again... As it was in the evening, I couldn't fix
it until Monday...
I prayed for the first time in a very long time today. I explained to God that
unless he wanted the Marxist-Islamic alliance and the certain Islamic takeover
of Europe to completely annihilate European Christendom within the next hundred
years he must ensure that the warriors fighting for the preservation of European
Christendom prevail. He must ensure that I succeed with my mission and as such;
contribute to inspire thousands of other revolutionary
conservatives/nationalists; anti-Communists and anti-Islamists throughout the
European world.
Sunday June 12 - Day 42:
Although highly demoralized, I decided to do one last test of the PA compound. I
decided to create a batch of DDNP using my best batch of picric acid. This was
to be my last attempt to move ahead with operation A. I didn't have much faith
in creating such a difficult compound as DDNP when I couldn't even manage to
create a decent batch of PA... I spent most of the day preparing that batch of
DDNP, then drying it in the oven for 4 hours.
Monday June 13 - Day 43:
I prepared a test device today and drove off to a very isolated site. The test
bomb was composed of a 3g DDNP primary and a 30g PA secondary. If this test
would fail, I would abandon operation A and move forward with the
non-spectacular operation B.
I lit the fuse, went out of range and waited. It was probably the longest 10
seconds I have ever endured...
BOOM! The detonation was successful!!!:-) I quickly drove away to avoid any
potential unwanted attention, from people in the vicinity. I would have to come
back a few hours later to investigate the blast hole, to see if both compounds
had detonated.
A few hours later, after returning from a restaurant in the southern town to
celebrate this success, I went back to the blast site to evaluate the
detonation. The DDNP primary detonated successfully but the dry picric acid
booster did not detonate at all. So I confirmed that the PA was not inert, just
of a very low purity grade. This could be sorted as I would now move forward
with purification after completion of the last PA batches.
Today was a very good day as I really needed this success.
Tuesday June 14 - Day 44:
Continued synthesizing picric acid and placing the finished compound to dry.
Wednesday June 15 - Day 45:
Continued synthesizing picric acid and placing the finished compound to dry.
Thursday June 16 - Day 46:
Began purification of the PA compound.
Friday June 17 - Day 47:
At this point in time, considering that this project has taken much longer than
anticipated, I was in a serious liquidity squeeze. The fertilizer invoice on
4500 euro should have been paid on May 19th. I had called to the company and
asked for an increase grace period and they said it was ok as long as I paid
before June 8th. This was almost 10 days ago and I received a follow up notice
today stating that they would forward the invoice to the credit collection
company on June 22nd. In addition to this; the farm rent for July, 1250 euro,
was due on June 25th and the invoice for the fume hood, the hot plate stirrer
and my secondary fan, which I wasn't even going to use, 2800 euro, was due on
June 26th. This would mean that I would officially default on the payment and
receive a credit warning, which would basically blacklist me and thus preventing
me from renting a car, as the car rental companies always perform a credit
check. Needless to say; this problem could sabotage the whole operation and I
needed to sort this out asap or the operation would be over before it had even
started... I needed to acquire 8550 euro within a week! As I had 1500 in cash
and in my primary account, I decided my only choice was to aggressively withdraw
funds from all my 10 credit cards but even that wouldn't be enough because of
the weekly capacity limit. I called the farming supplier and made an agreement
where I would pay half the amount now and the rest in July. They agreed. After
aggressive cash withdrawal I managed to acquire the necessary funds, which
allowed me to keep my head above the water until mid July.
At first, I thought I would manage to create enough picric acid booster material
(1,5kg in total) to disregard the addition of AL powder. But considering the
fact that I would only manage to produce aprox 200-300g of booster I had no
choice than to continue to prepare my 150kg of aluminium powder for addition in
the ANFO.
The 150kg of AL came in 4 hermetically sealed drums each containing around 37kg
of AL. After reading the "security precautions", however, I was completely
freaked out. The drum openings where wielded with a soft metallic substance so
it would be difficult to open them without taking extreme risk. The warnings
stated; contact with oxygen will risk detonation of the AL powder, contact with
metal, concrete and even plastic will significantly increase the chance of
static electricity which can cause a detonation. Friction and shock can also
cause detonation. Close proximity of oxidizers (gas, diesel) or close proximity
to electrical outputs etc. can cause detonation.
I first planned on creating an outdoor mechanism that allowed me to thrust a
steel spear like object, by using gravity, creating a 3 cm hole in the top of
the drum. However, I ended up taking a regular knife and starting to file down
the wielded enclosement, even if it involved high risk. At this point in time I
was very concerned for a potential detonation. If the barrel of AL powder was to
detonate and I somehow survived, I would probably lose both arms instantly
severely. The blast wave/flame would probably cauterize my wounds resulting in
an extended and extremely painful death. The most pragmatical approach to
solving this potential problem was to place my loaded glock 34 close to the work
area. And if I survived a detonation, losing both my arms, I could still fire a
round to my head, in order to prevent un-necessary suffering using my toe to
trigger.
Eventually, I manage to file open the enclosement. I then considered putting the
drum upside down in one of my empty fertilizer bags to prevent the presence of
high levels of oxygen.
This method proved to be too exhausting since I had to hold up the 37kg drum
with my hands. I ended up with putting a large 3 x 4m plastic sheet on the
concrete floor and carefully pouring the AL powder out of the opening. Small
clouds of dust began to generate but nothing happened. I carefully continued
until the drum was empty rolling the side of the drum in a circular pattern from
the center of the AL powder already poured out, until the drum was empty. There
were small clouds of AL powder generated but the biggest one was aprox 20 cm in
diameter, which settled down after a while. I continued after the small clouds
had settled. It's also worth noting that I had closed all the windows of the
cellar basement so the humidity was relatively high, while oxygen level was
below average.
In any case, this method worked well and I had gathered all the AL powder on the
sheet, and thus preparing it for the addition to the ANFO.
Since I had solved the AL problem, I continued the purification of the PA.
Saturday June 18 - Day 48:
I woke up at 11.00 and checked my phone. There was an SMS sent 09.30 from Tonje,
the owners girlfriend. She said she was ON HER WAY UP to pick up some equipment
from the barn!!! Omfg; considering the fact that it's a 2-2,5 hour's drive from
the capital she would be here in about half an hour!!! I'm so fucked! She has a
large storage room in the back of the barn and she would need to pass all my
ANFO bags to get there. I would need 12 hours minimum to relocate the 1,2 tons
of ANFO, not to mention de-construct my chemistry rig, fume hood, fan and clean
up all the beakers etc spread all around. And the living room is full of yellow
stains. It seems I will be left no choice than to use my glock and initiate the
evacuation plan!
I called her up. Luckily she hadn't left yet. Thank God! I fed her a story which
resulted in us agreeing that she would come on Monday around 20.00. That was a
real close one... I spent the rest of the day on purifying another batch of
picric acid and relocating 1,2 tons of ANFO bags, storing them in the storage
area between the corn silo and another room. I refer to this area as the spider
cave or the spider room as there is no lighting there and it is spider webs all
over the place. It is a lot of old junk in this room covered with spider webs.
Sunday June 19 - Day 49:
I spent much of the day relocating equipment and storing them in the second
floor of the house. I covered all the stains on the floor with a rug and covered
the living room table with a blanket.
Monday June 20 - Day 50:
I spent the day purifying a batch of PA and cleaning all the beakers for
storage. I went all over the property to ensure that it would be presentable for
today's visit. There was a 37kg pile of aluminium powder on plastic sheet I was
unable to move so I covered it up as best as I could. There was also a lot of
stains on the work bench in the barn I was unable to do anything about. Then
there was the 1,8 tons of ANFO bags and equipment stashed in the spider cave. I
covered it up properly but she would easily notice the diesel smell from the
bags and uncover it if she went in there... The fate of the whole operation
relies on her not noticing. She came to the farm around 20.30. We talked for a
while and she said she wanted to stay the night, sleeping in one of the
outhouses. It was late in the evening so she wanted to spend the next day
getting things from her storage room. I said it was fine and I fed her a story
about me having to salvage much of the fertilizer for long term storage, seeing
that I would not be able to sow the planned crop (sugar beets) due to too much
rocks in the soil. I needed her to be prepared in case she went into the spider
room. I just hope she would let me know if she got suspicious the next day so I
could take necessary action...
Tuesday June 21 - Day 51:
I woke up earlier that day to ensure that she didn't start sniffing around in
the house without me being there. At this point in time I figured it was a 50%
chance she would get suspicious enough to contact the authorities. I made her
some sandwiches and coffee later that day and we chatted for a couple of hours
in the living room of the main house. It would seem as she hadn't noticed
anything, at least this is how I interpreted her tone, body language and judging
from the topics we discussed. She went off later that day, and I figured that I
would very shortly get a visit from the authorities if she forwarded her
potential suspicions. In any case; there was nothing I could do if it came down
to that...
Wednesday June 22 - Day 52:
I reinstalled Windows 7 on my PC hoping that it would solve my network problems.
It didn't work and I figured it had to be the network card or the phone line
itself. I drove to the PC-repair guy in the local town and delivered it. It
should be ready by tomorrow. I continued to prepare the chemistry equipment for
getting ready to manufacture all DDNP batches. When I was done I completed the
last purification batch of the unpurified picric acid and ended up with several
liters of PA liquid that had to be chilled. I then drove to the local town and
bought three portions of Chinese takeaway. Beef with noodles and fried rice,
yummy!. I took an early night as I didn't have any PC.
Thursday June 23 - Day 53:
I went to the PC-repair guy in the local town today and he brought very good
news. Apparently, it was only the network card that had short circuited so he
had replaced it with a new one and I should now finally be able to get online.
Once back at the farm I got online and paid the outstanding on the remaining of
my 9 credit cards so I wouldn't default on any of the outstanding amounts. When
I was about to log into the site of the 10th and last credit card provider my PC
went poof and the power went down in the house! Seconds later I heard a large
thunder. What the hell, not again!!! And it isn't even raining ffs. I was able
to get the PC running again without problems but my DSL-modem short circuited
from the lightning strike as an electrical surge went through the phone line
again. How is it possible to be this unlucky?! Only two hours after I've had my
PC fixed nature comes and rapes me again... Thank god it was only my DSL-modem
was destroyed as I have two extra DSL-modems left...;P Nevertheless, my morale
took a small dent and I decided to get it back up by watching two episodes or
Rome and enjoying nice Chinese takeaway. Later that day set up the fume hood and
fan, carrying it down from the second floor, carried down the PA liquid in all
the beakers down to the cold cellar, awaiting further chilling in the
refrigerator. I then prepared for the first large batch of DDNP, halfway
completing it before putting the semi finished product in the fridge.
Friday June 24 - Day 54:
I continued on the second stage of the first large DDNP batch today, relocated
some of the containers with PA liquid from the cellar to the fridge and updated
the log. I couldn't start another badge due to the fact that I only have two 2
liter beakers, very annoying. The worst part about synthesizing formulas with a
lacking amount of equipment is the downtime due to waiting for natural heating
or chilling of compounds. The whole house is stinking of chems now. DDNP liquid
smells like fresh egg fart...<3 And I had to close all the windows to contribute
for the liquid to reach room temp faster. All these chemical fumes cant possible
be very healthy... I would have probably died from cancer within the next 12
months;P
Saturday June 25 - Day 55:
Finished first large batch of the DDNP today. The result, after drying should be
approximately 5-12g after purification. As the first half of the PA liquid had
been chilled in the fridge for 18 hours I went ahead and funnel filtered out the
crystals. As this was supposed to be the best batch of PA I was extremely
disappointed to see that there had been minimal precipitation of crystals in the
liquid. It should have been 15g of crystals for each liter but it turned out to
be 2g per liter. The only rational explanation is that the purification method I
am using is significantly flawed. However, considering the fact that I tried
putting ice in the beakers and even putting them in the freezer with poor
results, I really do not know what has gone wrong. The only alternative reason
would be that I used a flawed manufacturing method of PA or that I should have
purified the acetylsalicylic acid prior to initiating the PA manufacturing. As I
can't really do anything at this point regardless, I would like to think it's
the purification method and not the manufacturing method.
After I had scraped out the yellow PA crystals and the brown DDNP
crystals putting them in plastic boxes and placing them in the cold cellar I
went to do some shopping in the northern town. There is a festival and there was
a lot of things happening, a faire, various food stands, concerts etc. Since
this town has a limited variety of fast food I decided to drive down to the
southern town, eat and pick up some Chinese takeaway. There was a relatively hot
girl on the restaurant today checking me out. Refined individuals like myself is
a rare commodity here so I notice I do get a lot of attention in both the
southern and the northern town. It's the way I dress and look. There are mostly
unrefined/un-cultivated people living here. I wear mostly the best pieces from
my former life, which consists of very expensive brand clothing, LaCoste
sweaters, piques etc. People can see from a mile away that I'm not from around
here.
Later that day I initiated a new batch of DDNP. As I completed the first phase I
noticed one of my two 2L beakers had a large crack in the bottom and drops of
liquid was coming out. I was very lucky the beaker hadn't completely cracked
open as it would have destroyed my hot plate stirrer for sure. I remember there
was a tiny crack that appeared during sulfuric acid purification when I was
boiling as a madman outside. Now the beaker is ruined. To be honest; I'm
surprised this hasn't happened earlier as I've abused these two beakers
excessively. I made a mistake by buying only two 2L beakers instead of 4-5. That
mistake has cost me at least 3-4 days in total. The loss of this beaker poses a
significant problem as I relied on these two beakers to take me through the
whole manufacturing process. If I go down a size and use the last 1L beaker I
have left (I managed to break one during washing after boiling all the sulfuric
acid outside. it will take me an extra day to complete the DDNP manufacturing.
I'll see what I'll do later today. While waiting for the liquid to reach 4C in
the fridge I went to train for the second time since I came to the farm. I used
two backpacks, one in front and one on the back, with a total weight of 27kg. In
addition I filled a container with 5L of liquid and held it with my left and
then right arm partly stretched out in front of me. I took a 20 minute walk with
these weights and it was a great exercise. As always I take protein powder +
creatine before and after the exercise
to maximize the outcome. I'm almost out of my steroid/winstrol tabs now
as this project has taken significantly longer than expected. I only have a few
days left worth of tabs so I have to sort this out in the coming days. I was
thinking of traveling back to the capital and restock after I complete the DDNP
production. Damn, the most annoying thing about synthesizing DDNP is that you
have to wait 12 hours for the liquid to reach 4C in the fridge, later on you
have to wait 3-5 hours for the compound to chill from boiling to room
temperature and at the last phase you need to wait 12-18 hours for the liquid to
go from 4C to room temperature. In other words, one batch of DDNP takes
approximately 40 hours. If I had 6 x 2L beakers instead of 2, it would allow me
to complete 3 batches in less than 2 days (45 hours), instead of having to spend
more than 5 days (120 hours) due to lack equipment...
Sunday June 26 - Day 56:
Completed the second and third phase of the second batch of DDNP. I moved the
last batch of PA liquid from the cellar to the fridge. Updating log.
I am noticing increased pressure from my friends and family to come visit me at
the farm. I am countering by saying I will be done with this seasons work within
x weeks, and that they are more than welcome to visit me then. This has worked
for 2 months now, but this pressure will increase progressively as I delay.
Monday June 27 - Day 57:
Filtered out the pure PA crystals from the last batch of PA water after chilling
it in the fridge for 12+ hours. Cleaned out all the beakers. Completed the last
stage of the second batch of DDNP. Initiated the first stage of the last batch
of DDNP. As I have now re-initiated my training I did a workout later that
evening.
Tuesday June 28 - Day 58:
Continued on the last DDNP batch. Went to the northern town to do some errands.
Updating log. Later when searching online for efficient DDNP purification
methods; I just learned that when acidifying the sodium picramate solution
during DDNP manufacture, H2S and SO2 is released, which is potentially deadly.
Crap, and I've been inhaling that diarrhea gas for three days now! I didn't even
bother turning on the fan in the fume hood on a couple of occasions during that
stage...
Wednesday June 29 - Day 59:
Completed last batch of DDNP. I was now facing the task of purifying it, but was
uncertain how to approach this. Was it necessary to purify it at all? How much
would the VOD (velocity of detonation) suffer from not purifying it? Would it
cut the VOD in half? My whole operation depended on the VOD from my primary
being able to detonate the secondary explosive. After a few hours of research
online I found that mixing the unpurified DDNP in acetone, then filtering it to
another beaker with a lab filter or alternatively two coffee filters and then
boiling the acetone away over a hot water bath, would be the optimal approach as
the precipitation method with ice cold water method apparently didn't work for
those that tried it. The problem now was that I only had one conical flask and
one porcelain boiling dish (100ml) suitable for this type of purification
method. I feared that this method would take a very long time with the lack of
equipment. As I didn't have much choice I began the purification process. I
managed to purify 1/3 of a batch (I had three batches) in 3 hours. As I got the
hang of it I managed to reduce the time spent to 2 hours.
Watching Spartacus - Blood & Sand, a brilliant series:-). It's my
favourite one, in addition to Rome, Battlestar Galactica, Caprica and Stargate
Universe!<3. The Shield, Dexter, Sleeper Cell, Vampire Diaries and True Blood
are good as well. All the series adhere to the multiculti ideology but such is
life for the time being.
Thursday June 30 - Day 60:
This house is infested with beetles. Just now I was about to reach for a
chocolate in my goodie bag and a beetle had crawled in, ffs. And an hour ago,
when I was putting on my nitril gloves to do another DDNP purification cycle,
something was crawling in one of the fingers:-( Needless to say, I freaked
out... After that I started killing every little insect in view. And I'm up to
18 just in the last hour... Parts of this house is from 1750 so it's probably
several bug colonies in the walls.
I haven't slept at all since yesterday, trying to complete the last DDNP
purification. That will complete the chemistry phase and I can move on to the
last ANFO -->ANALFO phase. Addition of aluminium and micro balloons to the 1,8
tons of ANFO. But before I start the last phase, I need to travel to the capital
for resupply.
When I went inside the barn yesterday, a window had loosened and laid smashed on
the floor. There are several signs of noticeable wear outside as well. Three
large trees has blown down and two panels on the side of the barn has blown off.
Anyone seeing this must think I don't give a damn... I haven't had the time or
energy to sort that out yet. Perhaps when I'm done with the chemistry phase...
As I've now completed the purification process of 25g of DDNP (I will save an
additional batch of unpurified 12g as backup), it's time for me to wrap up the
chemistry phase. I do have 50L of impure nitro methane (30% RC fuel) in the barn
but it's a bit tricky to purify it. I will see what I can do about it tonight.
If I can't find an appropriate purification method Ill just skip the NM
altogether. In any case; I can now dismantle the lab, again...
I talked to my friend, Peter, after missing one of his inc. calls earlier. He is
visiting his girlfriend in a nearby town and wanted to stop by the farm... I fed
him a story about me going to the capital and it worked, for now... However, it
would not be suitable to receive visitors here as anyone stopping by would
eventually understand that things are not what they seemed. I have to be careful
not to answer his calls while he is so close to the farm. Manipulation and
deceit can quickly turn around and act in your disfavour, if you are not
careful. I guess I have been somewhat reckless in regards to maintaining my
social network. Choosing complete isolation and asocial behaviour, in phases
like these, would probably be a more pragmatical approach for ensuring secrecy.
However, complete isolation and asocial behaviour can also defeat the whole
purpose if you end up losing the love for the people you have sworn to protect.
Because, why would you bless your people with the ultimate gift of love if every
single person hates you?
Friday July 1 - Day 61:
Ok, I have now completely dismantled the lab and stored all the equipment in
boxes on the second floor. Removed all the glass from the broken window near the
work bench in the barn and fastened a plastic sheet with duct tape.
It is now 8 days since I was forced to drastically reduce my winstrol intake and
2 days since I ran out of both winstrol and DBOL tabs. I'm noticing slight
symptoms of withdrawal resulting in loss of muscle mass (down 3kg from my peak
at 96kg). I'm also low on no-Xplode and protein powder. I need to restock in the
capital. Damn, Peter is visiting his girlfriends sister in central Norway and
Marius is unavailable due to work.
Saturday July 2 - Day 62:
Going over the travel route for both plan A and B for the upcoming event,
familiarizing myself with the driving routes and plotting in destinations in my
Garmin GPS. I went to the gym and did a really hard workout. I was surprised I
managed to lift as more or less as much as I could when I was at my best, in
late April. However, I had to cancel the program half way because I was getting
dizzy. Damn, just too long since I properly worked out.
Nice, I have enough winstrol for 20 more days (10mg x 100 tabs). I should have
ended this cycle after 6-7 weeks though and I am now on my 9th week... Not
healthy at all and I'm concerned about my liver values.
I took my mom out to dinner this evening, then hooked up with Axel for a coffee
afterwards, discussing politics. Oh, how I missed these discussions...:-) Went
back to the farm late in the evening.
Sunday July 3 - Day 63:
Raining again... I planned to extract the armour cache today (the Pelican 1620
case I buried July 2010) or initiate evaporation purification of my 50ish liters
of nitro methane, RC fuel. But I will have to wait for the first sunny day. Will
have to begin the final phase shortly, the mixing of AL and micro balloons in
the ANFO. I think I'll take a day off prior to the upcoming phase shift and just
download some new trance tunes. Lange feat. Sarah Howells (amazing voice) has
three songs I haven't yet downloaded; Lange Ft. Sarah Howells - Fireworks (Club
Mix), Lange Ft. Sarah Howells - Out of the Sky (Original Mix) and Lange feat.
Sarah Howells "Let It All Out" (Lange)
Noticing that the testo withdrawal is contributing to increased aggressiveness.
As I'm now continuing with 50mg it will most likely pass. I wish it would be
possible to somehow manipulate this effect to my advantage later on when it is
needed. Because the state seems to very efficiently suppress fear. I wonder if
it is possible to acquire specialized "aggressiveness" pills on the market. It
would probably be extremely useful in select military operations, especially
when combined with steroids and ECA stack...! It would turn you into a
superhuman one-man-army for 2 hours!<3
Monday July 4 - Day 64:
Updated log for a few hours. I then began the preparations for a trip to extract
the armour cache, I had dug down a year ago in Juli 2010. I am really concerned
that someone has somehow found the cache. It would be a significant setback if
that was to be the case. Or what if moisture had somehow penetrated the pelican
case I used. It would be possible considering the fact that the area where the
cache is located has permafrost during winter.
I did not look forward to this extraction trip as I had nightmarish memories
from digging down the case in the first place, 12 months ago. The location is in
a mosquito infested area and combined with the labour intensive nature of this
sub mission, I remember it as a painfully exhausting and dreadful experience.
After packing the necessary supplies for the trip, I went by a hunting store and
purchased upgraded ammunition (200 SP rounds, costing 300 euro) for my .223
Ruger Mini 14.
After a few hours driving I reached the destination. It took me around 30
minutes to locate the grave as I had camouflaged the dig sight very thoroughly,
covering it with tree stumps etc. As expected, there was a big welcoming party
waiting for me... Oh my, apparently, due to their great feast a year ago the
mosquito population had seemed to triple for that particular spot... To counter
this, I wore a raincoat which served to protect me from insect bites. However,
labouring intensively in an air tight raincoat is extremely painful, even
dangerous. I generated at least 2L of sweat by the time I was done so I had to
constantly hydrate from my camel back. After two and a half painful hours I had
extracted the armour crate and its content. Considering the fact that I do not
have a secondary pistol, I disregarded filling up the crate with survival gear
which was the original plan.
As for the content of the crate, it was in perfect condition. Not a single drop
of liquid had penetrated the crate and no moisture had entered the rubber seal
whatsoever. This means that one can bury electronic devices as well without it
being affected at all!!!:-) These Pelican cases are simply amazing for this
purpose. I'm sure you can bury it for several years, even below permafrost,
perhaps up to 10 years, before the rubber seal rots away. I'm very impressed!
I arrived at the farm late in the evening. My neighbour had started harvesting
my crops, as was the agreement made earlier.
Tuesday July 5 - Day 65:
Spent a few hours on ammunition administration. Replaced most of the .223 HP
(hollow point) rounds with SP rounds. According to my research; HP rounds for
.223 tend, 80-90% of the time, to not mushroom as intended, which defeats much
of their purpose. SP (soft point) on the other hand, at least for the .223
caliber, are more suitable for the purpose of inflicting maximum damage to
vermin. I did other practical tasks this day including colouring some of my
equipment black with permanent markers of various sizes. Emptied the armour
case. Lol, I forgot I had put a batch of DBOL, winstrol and ECA stack in the
case:-). Nice, now I don't have to make more ECA stack tabs from scratch.
I realize that If I am apprehended with all this equipment I will have serious
problems trying to explain its intended usage...
Wednesday July 6 - Day 66:
Changed the tertiary charge setup, and planned the last manufacturing phase
accordingly in regards to ANALFO mixing. I will be creating 19 x 50kg bags
containing 43kg of ANFO, 6,45kg of AL (15%) and 1,2kg of micro balloons (2,7%).
After that I will create 13 x 50kg bags containing 46kg of ANFO, 2,3kg of AL
(5%) and 1,2kg of MB (2-3%). Re-located most of the ANFO from the spider cave to
the processing bench.
Thursday July 7 - Day 67:
Re-distributed the micro balloons from the 16kg bags into 13 individual plastic
bags each containing 1,2kg. Prepared 35 such bags - equivalent to 2,5% of the
50kg fertilizer bags. Started to do
the same with the aluminium powder, re-distributing them from the 36kg metal
drums to individual plastic bags each containing 6kg. Finished 6 such bags, but
after further consideration I will use 5kg instead of 6. I realize now that many
of the warnings concerning aluminum powder is nothing more than scare mongering,
probably to limit the legal liability of the producer. It is much safer to
handle than people might expect, even in the micro fine 400 mesh (63 microns)
powder I have. I have generated multiple clouds of aluminium and nothing has
gone wrong. Just be very careful and you'll be fine.
As I was working on weighing the microballoons on my gram weight, using my 3M
full face mask, I noticed an itch on my nose. That's when I saw a large black
beetle on the inside of the mask...FFS. Freaked me out. I usually check for
insects every time I wear gloves or the mask, but I must have missed it this
time.
The neighbour is still harvesting my field outside. He originally told me it
would only take 6 hours total but it's the third day now... As long as he is
lurking around on my property he is going to slow me down significantly as I
have to take extra security precautions. Not to mention I have to delay the
nitro methane evaporation outside until he's done. I could probably have done it
inside, but considering the fact that methane forms potentially
explosive/flammable vapours I'm not readily keen on evaporating the RC fuel
inside.
Friday July 8 - Day 68:
I opened the remaining two aluminium drums and re-distributed the content in
plastic bags (regular shopping bags). I then completed to weigh the content of
the bags on a gram weight resulting in 18 bags a 5kg (10-12%), 10 bags a 2,35kg
(5-6%) and finally two bags a 6,5 kg for the inner drum charge.
Saturday July 9 - Day 69:
I started mixing the ANFO with the micro balloons and the aluminium powder. I
completed 2 bags a 50kg. It was very labour intensive, much more than I imagined
as I had to first open the ANFO bags, then distribute 12,5kg of the content into
a plastic 50L masonry bucket. I then poured the content into a plastic 100L
masonry bucket. As much of the ANFO was packed into hard lumps I had to crush
them with a rubber hammer. I then started to crush the smaller lumps with my
hands until the ANFO was powdered. I then poured 25% of the micro balloon bag
inside the bucket and mixed it (it will create clouds of micro balloon dust as
you mix it), following by doing the same with the aluminium powder. Clouds of
aluminum powder will be generated and the whole area will be covered in AL dust
including your clothing, your hair, and every item you might have in a 5m
radius. This is problematic as you end up spread AL dust everywhere as you walk
around. I ended up assigning "mixing clothing and shoes" which I took off every
time I left the room. It's the only thing you can do to prevent spreading it
somewhat but you will still get stained by AL. I considered using a hazmat suit
or my different kind of lightweight dust suit but the problem is that it gets
too hot when combined with intensive labour like mixing.
As the ANALFO mix was complete I then poured the mix into an empty 50kg
fertilizer bag. This took 30 minutes so processing a full 50kg bag of ANFO
creating ANALFO took 2 hours. After I had prepared 2,5 bags of ANALFO I was
exhausted and decided to take a break. Mixing ANALFO is very messy and its
especially annoying that you get aluminium dust everywhere.
Later that day while I was enjoying a meal, the neighbour stopped by. As I had
just completed the mixing session I still had AL stains in my face and powder in
my hair. I tried the best I could to quickly wash it off but my hair still had a
silver tone and it looked very weird. The neighbour asked if he could fertilize
my fields and remove some rocks as this would increase the yield of animal
fodder by 100% (the current crop). As this meant that he would get several
people to work on my property for a week's time I declined telling him that I
had plans of my own.
Later that day, while I was watching an episode of True Blood, I saw a large van
driving by the house and parking next to my car. There was at least 4 people
inside. Nice, I thought; it's probably a SWAT team coming to skull-fuck me. The
farmer must have tipped them off... Thank God, it was only 4 Polacks looking for
worked and I sent them on their way. It would have been tempting to hire them to
mix my ANALFO...<3, hadn't it been for the fact that they would have understood
what was up:-)
Later that evening I put a large plastic container box with 8L of 30% nitro
methane/18% oil/52% methanol outside to test the evaporation method.
Theoretically; the methanol should evaporate before the nitromethane starts to
evaporate. As such; you just let the mix evaporate down from 8L to aproximately
4L. This should leave you with aprox 60% nitro and 36% oil which is, according
to my sources, 100% more efficient as an oxidizer as diesel when mixed with ANFO
or ANALFO. According to my source; 25-40% nitro is as efficient as diesel, so
anything higher purity is better.
Sunday July 10 - Day 70:
I mixed one more bag of ANALFO manually. There must be a better way than this...
One single bag in 2 hours!? I will try to use my electrical concrete mixer
instead. I bought it second hand for 150 euro. I am just very worried about
three things when using a concrete mixer; the friction caused by the electrical
stirrer, ANALFO/ANFO/AL in direct contact with metal, a spark from the
electrical system. As these three factors can cause a detonation, I will keep my
glock 34 close by in case I somehow survive an explosion...
I feel I don't have a choice as mixing manually is just too fatiguing and
time consuming. I need a method that allows me to mix at least 1 x 50kg bag
every hour or faster. In any case; let me die another day...
The use of my electrical concrete mixer to blend the ANALFO went without much
complication. As usual, I worry too much about safety...<3
I poured in 46kg of ANFO and activated the mixer. The large and small
lumps would not be crushed so I had to crush them with my hands manually. I then
went on to mixing in the 1,2 kg of micro balloons and the 5kg of aluminium
powder (400 mesh/63 microns, leafed). It generated significant AL dust clouds
and it didn't mix optimally. However, I was able to complete one bag of ANALFO
in 90 minutes so I was able to improve my blending per bag by 30 minutes
compared to the manual method. Also, using the concrete mixer is much less
fatiguing. Perhaps with time, I will be able to reduce this to 60 minutes per
bag. In any case; it is hard work for one person and I am really beginning to
understand why Mr. McVeigh limited his manufacturing to 600kg. He probably
encountered much of the issues I did and he probably had to learn everything the
hard way just as I have done.
My RC fuel (30% nitro methane, 18% oil, 52% methanol) has been allowed to
evaporate for 26 hours now (average 20-25C daytime, 10-15C nighttime) and the
mix has now reduced its mass by 50%, from 7,8 liters to 3,9 liters. I poured the
liquid into a 4L container. I noticed that the evaporation took considerable
longer during the night. I'm a bit concerned regarding the exothermic nature of
methanol. Methanol absorbs moisture from the air and the water it absorbs has
the same evaporation temperature as nitro methane. I have been unable to
research exactly how much the absorption ratio is compared to the evaporation
ratio as little information is found online regarding this purification method.
If my assumptions are grossly incorrect, and the research I found was false, I
will end up with an inert goo which will ruin the detonation completely. If I'm
right, however, the oxidizer I will end up with will be more than twice as
powerful than diesel and will reduce the need for a booster to detonate the
ANFO/ANALFO. The inner charge I will end up with will be 50kg of ANALNM
(Ammonium Nitrate ALuminium Nitro Methane). Regarding the purification of RC
fuel; I did however find dozens of distillation methods from advanced to less
advanced but the problem is that you need a decent distillation rig and even if
you have the equipment, it is quite complicated and very dangerous to isolate
the nitro methane that way. According to my overall research regarding nitro
methane purification the most pragmatical approach, given my limited resources,
is to just do an evaporation purification. I have a total of 72 liters of RC
fuel with an average nitro methane percentage of 28%.
In any case; I feel I've been really slacking the last week and I really need to
step up the pace now. At least now, everything is set so I don't have to
research any more techniques and methods.
Monday July 11 - Day 71:
Mixing 3 bags (alr done 4)
I reserved a rental car today, from AVIS, the same company I'm already renting
my primary car from. There was not enough credit on the card for a deposit so I
had to go to the northern town and transfer 2000 euro to it.
Considering the fact that I am currently working on the most dreadful task, I
bought a lot of exquisite food and candy today.
I really need to recharge my batteries and increase my morale before
initiating the ANALFO mixing. Good food and candy is a central aspect of my
reward system which keeps me going.
It has proven efficient so far. Occasionally, if I'm really not keen on doing a
specific sub task, I take a red bull, a shake of noXplode or an ECA stack - to
get a jump start before jumping into something I'm not looking forward to - f
example extremely lame or labour intensive tasks or tasks involving great risk
of injury or death.
I continued to purify, through evaporation, the RC fuel today, pouring 32L into
four different plastic containers. I had marked the containers with a permanent
marker for 2L, 4L and 8L which allows me to see how many percent it has
evaporated. I put one in the outhouse, to test whether inside evap would be
better, and three outside. I placed them all in the outhouse before I went to
bed to prevent the batches from being ruined in case of rain during the night. I
noticed the batch I left in the outhouse (at around 15C) had only evaporated by
1L, in comparison to the others (20-25C) which had evaporated by 3L, which
indicates that outside evap is preferable.
The mixing of AL powder and micro balloons with the ANFO is a truly dreadful
task. Not only is it extremely messy; it is very labour intensive as well, not
to mention that you have to work using the 3M gas mask. I hate this task. It's
the most dreadful job I've encounter during the whole operation...
However, I've finally managed to find a good mixing routine for the
ANALFO. Basically; considering the fact that the whole process with mixing is
extremely messy, I could not take any smoking breaks or leave the work bench
area at all. As soon as I initiate the mixing I literally turn into the tin
man..., with a layer of AL dust all over me. As it is really difficult to remove
this dust from the surfaces it touches, I end up smearing the stuff on my face
(it gets on the inside of my mask when it touches the rubber straps) and on my
fingers etc. To keep an acceptable pace I am therefore forced to work without a
break for 5 hours (or until I complete 4 x 50kg bags). I've managed to reduce
the work needed to complete one bag from 1,5 hours to 1,2 hours. The most time
consuming aspect are all the ANFO lumps I have to crush manually with my
fingers. The electrical cement mixer is really helpful though, and not dangerous
to use at all, and will reduce the amount of time spent on each bag by 40
minutes (from 2 hours manually, to 1,2 hours with a cement mixer). I realize
this is a vulnerable phase though, as it will be hard to conceal AL dust and
hard to clean surfaces with AL smearing.
Tuesday July 12 - Day 72: Evaporated RC fuel outside and mixed 4 bags
(200kg) of ANALFO.
Found a good method to determine nitromethane vs. methanol content:
The boiling point of methanol is aprox 63C while the BP of nitromethane is aprox
100C. However, there is an even easier way to determine NM content.
Just weigh it! Methanol is extremely light and nitromethane extremely
heavy.
Methanol = 800g per liter
Motor oil = 875g per liter (might be wrong)
Nitromethane = 1195g per liter
(Water = 1000g per liter)
A gallon of Methanol = 3,78L * 800 = 3024g
A gallon of Motor Oil = 3,78L * 875 = 3307,5g
A gallon of Nitromethane = 3,78L * 1195 = 4517g
(A gallon of water = 3,78L * 1000 = 3780g)
I added water just in case due to the exothermic nature of methanol (it absorbs
water/moisture from the air). In any case; it will now be easier to figure out
which of my completed 8 batches of purified RC fuel has the highest NM content,
simply by using a gram weight.
Wednesday July 13 - Day 73:
I cleaned my 3M gas mask today. It was full of AL powder/smearing and the
multifilter were full of AL dust. Unfortunately; these are my last multifilters
(particle and vapour filter combined) so I can't replace them. I do have a
couple of sets of particle filters but I believe they won't be of much use to
filter the diesel fumes when mixing ANALFO.
Continued to evaporate RC fuel outside and mixed 2 bags of ANALFO. After mixing
the second bag I began to experience dizziness, blood pressure elevation and
nausea, classical symptoms of excessive short-term exposure of diesel. Diesel is
a vicious substance as it is absorbed even through most glove material. Nitrile
gloves are best, neoprene somewhat good but vinyl gloves provide little or no
protection. At this point in time, the clothing I am using to mix ANALFO are
more or less soaked in diesel and I knew it was not healthy. But the problem is
that using a hazmat suit for mixing is problematic as it will be very hard to
labour while wearing it. I have another chemical suit that are more comfortable
than the hazmat suit so I will try using that for the last batch. Diesel
poisoning isn't lethal, but will weaken your body over time. However, excessive
exposure over a long period of time can shut down your kidneys, which will
obviously be lethal. To somewhat counter all the crap I've been exposed to the
last two months I'm using anti-toxin tabs (herbal supplements strengthening the
liver and kidneys), protein supplements, creatine and a multitude of
mineral/vitamin supplements.
Thursday July 14 - Day 74:
I'm not feeling so hot today. I'm in a weakened state atm. most likely due to
diesel poisoning. It shouldn't take more than 24 hours before my immune system
has defeated the negative effects of this exposure. I hope I haven't been
overexposed as it may lead to acute kidney shutdown. Needless to say; I'm going
to use my protective suit to mix the last 4 bags today. Finished the last 4
bags. Using the protective suit (fertilizer sprayer suit, used by farmers)
proved to be better than expected, except the fact that I completely soaked my
t-shirt and boxer with sweat by the time I was done.
Planning a train trip to the capital tomorrow. I have to get up at around 06.00
tomorrow. Will do some errands while I'm there including picking up a van from
AVIS car rental company (carrying cap 1340kg).
Damn, I was hoping the last 4 batches of RC fuel would be finished before the
trip tomorrow.
Total weight of ANALFO, 18 bags = 900kg + 50kg ANALNM
(inner charge) + 130kg (1 person + gear) + 80kg (mini MC) = 1160kg. The
max carrying capacity of Volkswagen Crafter is 1340kg but it's safer to leave a
certain safety margin, just in case.
Friday July 15 - Day 75:
I took the train to the capital today to pick up the car I had reserved. Took a
taxi from the train station to the car rental company. Came back to the farm
late in the evening.
Saturday July 16 - Day 76:
Took a taxi to the train station in the northern town to pick up the car. Did
some errands and went back to the farm. Started removing the car rental sticker
with the rubber-eraser-drill-bit. I had bought 4 of these specialty drill
erasers which are designed to remove decor from cars. I used one and a half bit
before I was done but there were significant traces left on the car. I treated
the surface with a spray on de-greasing chemical three times but there were
still some quite noticeable traces left. Will try a couple of more times
tomorrow. Finished the last evaporation-purification of the RC fuel.
Sunday July 17 - Day 77:
Continued removing traces of the decor on the rental car. Washed twice with
acetone then another round of degreasing. There are still significant traces but
at this point I do not have time to take additional measures.
An unknown car drove in to the front yard today. As I went out to greet them I
noticed it was just two women who had taken a wrong turn.
The neighbour started collecting the animal-fodder-balls from the field today.
His activities delayed my work for several hours.
I weighed the 9 batches of purified RC fuel. I have a lot more than I need so I
will just use two of the best batches.
Weighing 1,8L in a 2L beaker on a gram weight:
Batches 1-4 were evaporated from: 25% nitro, 12% oil, 63% methanol from 7,8L to
3L
Batches 5-9 were evaporated from 30% nitro, 18% oil, 52% methanol, from 7,8L to
3,9L
All the batches have an unknown water content (exothermic properties of methanol
ftl.)
Batch 1: 1759g
Batch 2: 1753g
Batch 3: 1738g
Batch 4: 1730g
Batch 5: 1786g
Batch 6: 1779g
Batch 7: 1784g
Batch 8: 1771g
Batch 9: 1770g
Weight tests were somewhat inconclusive
so decided to do an additional fire test, taking 20ml from the best batches and
using a stop watch to see how long the flame burns.
Batch 1: 1,49 min
Batch 5: 1,53 min
Fire test proved somewhat inconclusive but my gut feeling tells me that I should
go for batch 5 and batch 7. It should be more than 50% nitromethane in the two
batches.
Will create secondary detonator to be detonated from ANALFO, without booster in
addition to the detonator with booster from the ANALNM inner charges). Will add
a delay fuse of +30 sec for the secondary detonator. I feel this is the safest
option if somehow the ANALNM mix proves to be a disaster.
Needless to say, I'm really not sure about the potency of the RC nitro oxidizer.
My calculations indicate that the nitro content can be as low as 30% but I
cannot confirm this as my weight estimate for the oil might be incorrect. In
addition; I cannot verify the water content of the mix.
In any case; for the ANALNM material I will go for:
38kg AN
6L RC/nitro oxidizer
6kg AL
1,2kg MB
Total:
51,2kg of material
Monday July 18 - Day 78:
I completed the inner charge. However, the drum only had enough space for
approximately 40kg of ANALNM. I poured the finished product into 2 x double
plastic bags, the inner bags of the 50kg fertilizer bags. There were no problems
at all mixing everything together in the concrete mixer. However, since I only
made one inner charge I wish I had purchased pure AN (98%) from ice packs as it
would be more potent than the
27-0-0 (85%ish) - farmer (C)AN.
Will have less time to update log from now on...
That night, after dark, I loaded in everything in the van. Still need to strap
it properly in place though.
Tested gear.
Exhausted!!! Good workout though. Im drinking 4 x protein shakes per day now to
maximize muscle generation. At this point in time I should be fearful, but I'm
just too exhausted to think much about it.
Placed PA to dry during the night.
Tuesday July 19 - Day 79:
Dried 1 out of 4 batches of PA/DDNP in the oven at 50-70 C. First batch took 9
hours, wtf!! This is going to delay everything...
Created anti-friction/shock stuffing by cutting up a madras and placing it in
three layers in a card board box. I'll use these to transport the booster and
detonators separate from the main cargo.
Started packing down gear, filled diesel/gasoline on cars and mini-MC. Tested
mini-MC. Treaded a fuse inside a surgical tube and tested it. There were 75 cm
of fuse so it should burn for 75 seconds. Due to the lack of oxygen in the tube
it burnt in less than 2 sec!! Damn, I'm glad I checked this beforehand... No
surgical tube then...
Went to a higher quality restaurant in the southern town and feasted. Yummy! Ive
been working extremely hard the last few days and I'm completely exhausted. I
have been using ECA stack to help keep this pace. Looks like I will have to take
one more today...
Currently drying batch 2 out of 4. Hopefully I will complete it before I go to
bed.
Dry PA etc. Test PA.
Pack and load gear during day,
Go to sleep at 22.00
06.30 - drive 1 Small, there 10.00

Thursday July 21 - Day 81:
Drive 11 hours straight to Kautokeino, sort out cheap hotel
Friday July 22 - Day 82:
Initiate blasting sequenses at pre-determined sites. Test dirt for gram of gold
per kg. Have enough material for at least 20 blasts. Start capitalization of
project as soon as I have results. Time is running out, liquidity squeese inc.
Call/email all my investor contacts with updated online prospectus/pdf.
This is going to be an all-or-nothing scenario. If I fail to generate acceptable
precious metals yields, in combination with swift initiation of the
capitalization for securing the areas I will be heavily indebted. I must
complete capitalization of the mineral extraction project within August at
latest! When I have the required seed capital I will have enough funds to employ
the services of professional blasting engineers.
If all fails, I will initiate my career with a private security firm in conflict
zones to acquire maximum funds in the shortest period of time to repay the
debts.
First coming costume party this autumn, dress up as a police officer. Arrive
with insignias:-) Will be awesome as people will be very astonished:-)
Side note; imagine if law enforcement would visit me the next days. They would
probably get the wrong idea and think I was a terrorist, lol :o)

The old saying; "if you want something done, then do it yourself" is as relevant
now as it was then. More than one "chef" does not mean that you will do tasks
twice as fast. In many cases; you could do it all yourself, it will just take a
little more time. AND, without taking unacceptable risks. The conclusion is
undeniable.
I believe this will be my last entry. It is now Fri July 22nd, 12.51.

Marxist and regionalist liberation organisations
PCCTS, Knights Templar have a hostile stance towards any and all Marxist
organisations (the only possible exception being the rare case of
national-Bolshevik organisation).
PCCTS have a neutral stance towards any organisation where the primary or
secondary goal is to overthrow a Marxist/multiculturalist controlled regime.
The PCCTS, Knights Templar can never support a regionalist liberation movements
in any way as it conflicts with our primary principles.
ETA - Euskadi Ta Askatasuna:
ETA propagates a Marxist-Leninist view
and is therefore considered a hostile entity by default. However, no measures
will be taken against them until we, our Nationalist Spanish and French
Justiciar Knight Commanders have re-asserted political and military control of
Spain and France.
Anti-Islamist/Jihadi
Islamist/Jihadi organisations – PCCTS have a hostile stance towards any and all
Islamist organisations. This also includes Muslim nationalist organisations such
as those found in Turkey. We may however choose to cooperate temporary (in phase
2 or 3) with nationalist Muslim organisations or rival Muslim organisations as
long as the cooperation benefits our cause.
Neutral or friendly stance towards all nationalist organisations
PCCTS have a neutral or friendly stance towards any liberation organisation
seeking to overthrow their current Marxist/multiculturalist regime. This
includes any Christian, Hindu and Buddhist nationalist group. As such, PCCTS
have a friendly stance towards a majority of Indian nationalist organisations.
The PCCTS may change the stance from neutral to friendly with any European or
non-European nationalist organisation.
Saffronisation is a political neologism (after the saffron robes of the Hindu
clerics), used to refer to the policy of right-wing Hindu nationalism (or
Hindutva) which seeks to make the Indian state into a "Hindu nation" and its
Sikh, Buddhist and Jain minorities incorporated into Hinduism. These nationalist
movements are also called Sanatana Dharma movements.
A related term, the Saffron Brigade, is used as a descriptor of people and
organisations in India that promote Hindu nationalism such as the Sangh Parivar
by their critics, who allege a militant Hindu agenda. The Sanatana Dharma
movements or Hindu nationalists in general are suffering from the same
persecution by the Indian cultural Marxists as their European cousins. An
example of typical Hindu nationalist ridicule:
"Ullal by-polls results are out and the Congress has retained its ‘forte,’ thus
upsetting BJP and JD(S) calculations. [...]The message is clear - the BJP has
failed to gain the confidence of minorities. “Come what may. We do not want the
saffron brigade or any other party which is supporting the saffron brigade to
come to power in Ullal” - is the answer given by the electorate of Ullal."
The thing is, Indian government (current government United Progressive Alliance
coalition led by Indian National Congress) is a Socialist-Leftist Liberalists.
The other side is National Democratic Alliance led by Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP), a political arm to the RSS: these people are of Hindu right wing
nationalism comprising of Hindu parties (including Sikh, Buddhist, and Jain
sub-sects), strongly supported by Jewish and Zoroastrian minorities.
The UPA (incumbent government) relies on appeasing Muslims and very sadly
proselytising Christian missionaries who illegally convert low caste Hindus with
lies and fear alongside Communists who want total destruction of the Hindu faith
and culture.
The irony in India is that the Hindus who are living abroad (expatriate Hindus)
are more concerned about Hindu culture than the ones in India, because from
abroad, they can get an eagle's view of what's happening in India while Indian
Hindu residents don't see it being in the scene.
The only positive thing about the Hindu right wing is that they dominate the
streets. They do not tolerate the current injustice and often riot and attack
Muslims when things get out of control, usually after the Muslims disrespect and
degrade Hinduism too much. This behaviour is nonetheless counterproductive.
Because instead of attacking the Muslims they should target the category A and B
traitors in India and consolidate military cells and actively seek the overthrow
of the cultural Marxist government.
India will continue to wither and die unless the Indian nationalists consolidate
properly and strike to win. It is essential that the European and Indian
resistance movements learn from each other and cooperate as much as possible.
Our goals are more or less identical.
The PCCTS, Knights Templar support the Sanatana Dharma movements and Indian
nationalists in general.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sangh_Parivar
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergenekon_network
"The Ergenekon network" is the name given to a clandestine, Kemalist
ultra-nationalist organisation in Turkey with ties to members of the country's
military and security forces.
Its agenda has variously been described as Eurasianist, and isolationist. The
defendants portray themselves as defenders of secularism, and national
sovereignty. According to the indictment, the group's claim to legitimacy is
that it allegedly protects national interests, which the defendants believe are
incompatible with the rule of the Islamist Justice and Development Party.
Over a hundred people, including several generals, party officials, and a former
secretary general of the National Security Council, have been detained or
questioned since July 2008.
The first person to publicly talk about the organisation was retired naval
officer Erol Mütercimler, who said in 1997:
“It is above the General Staff, the MİT (National Intelligence Organisatio) and
the Prime Minister. There are generals, heads of police departments, and
businessmen in this organisation.”
Mütercimler said he heard of the original organisation's existence from retired
general Memduh Ünlütürk, who was involved in the anti-communist Ziverbey
interrogations following the 1971 coup. Major general Ünlütürk told Mütercimler
that Ergenekon was originally founded with the support of the CIA and the
Pentagon (probably right as it was an-anti Communist network established in the
beginning of the cold war).
Mütercimler and others, however, draw a distinction between the Ergenekon of
today and the original one. Today's Ergenekon is said to be a "splinter" off the
old one. The person whose testimony contributed most to the indictment, Tuncay
Güney, described Ergenekon as a junta related to the Turkish Resistance
Organisation operating in North Cyprus. Another position is that while some of
the suspects may be guilty of something, there is no organisation to which they
are all party, and that the only thing they have in common is opposition to the
AKP. In an article for Milliyet, Dündar compares Ergenekon with the
Susurluk network, and the Counter-Guerrilla; two other Turkish clandestine
groups. Dündar also says that Ergenekon differs from the ”Counter-Guerrilla” in
that the former leans towards Russia, while the latter leans towards the United
States. Claims of Ergenekon's Eurasian affinity are supported by the statements
of the movement's chief advocate, Aleksandr Dugin, who called Ergenekon a
"pro-Russian group". A noted retired intelligence agent, Mahir Kaynak, says that
on the contrary Ergenekon is the antithesis of Susurluk; the former is
predominantly military, while the latter was a paramilitary gang that was
erected in opposition to the military.
When the Russian newspaper Kommersant declared Dugin to be the brains
behind Ergenekon, Dugin responded that he had no part in illegal activities, but
that he saw no crime in sharing their vision of Turkey's future—free from the
influence of NATO and the United States.
Structure
According to one of the prosecutors the organisation consists of six cells with
the following personnel:
1.
Secret and civil cells liaisons:
Veli Küçük and Muzaffer Tekin.
2.
Lobbyists:
M. Zekeriya Öztürk, Kemal Kerinçsiz, İsmail Yıldız, and Erkut Ersoy.
3.
NGO head:
Sevgi Erenerol. Kemal Kerinçsiz (assistant).
4.
Theory, Propaganda, and Disinformation Department head:
Doğu Perinçek.
5.
Mafia structuring head:
Veli Küçük. Muzaffer Tekin (assistant).
6.
Underground contacts:
Ali Yasak, Sami Hoştan, Semih Tufan Gülaltay, and Sedat Peker.
7.
Terrorist organisations heads:
Veli Küçük and Doğu Perinçek.
8.
University structuring:
Kemal Yalçın Alemdaroğlu, Emin Gürses, Habib Ümit Sayın.
9.
Research and information gathering head:
Mehmet Zekeriya Öztürk.
10.
Judicial branch heads:
Kemal Kerinçsiz, Fuat Turgut, and Nusret Senem.
Of those, the structure of only the "Theory" department has been revealed as of
September 2008.
It is said that the top position is held for a six month term by an active army
officer. By selecting active officers, the group maintains connections with the
military establishment.
Reason for the failure of the Ergenekon Network
It is likely to believe that the network had become too big (for clandestine
activity) and the involved too bold. Cells lacked precautionary discipline when
communicating. There was communication between the different cells which made it
possible for individual informants to identify individuals from the 6 different
cells.
News agency commentary:
An investigation into an alleged plot by secularist ultranationalists to
overthrow the Turkish government has deepened with the recent arrest of senior
military officers and the discovery of several weapons caches. At the same time,
there is growing concern that the probe could lead to increased tension between
the government and Turkey’s powerful military, as well as that the investigation
-- aimed at tackling long-standing anti-democratic forces in Turkish politics --
is becoming dangerously politicised.
The investigation into the coup plot, commonly known as "Ergenekon," has already
resulted in the arrest of some 130 people, among them retired four-star generals
and prominent politicians, journalists and academics. According to an
indictment, the plotters were hoping to bring down the Islamist-rooted Justice
and Development Party (AKP) by sowing enough chaos, through terror attacks and
high-level assassinations, that the military would be forced to intervene.
In recent weeks, following sketches found in the homes of some of the suspects,
police have uncovered two weapons caches buried on the outskirts of Ankara.
Among the weapons were hand grenades, plastic explosives and ammunition.
But the case, launched in June 2007 after grenades were found in the Istanbul
home of a retired military officer, is also creating new tensions between the
AKP and the military, which sees itself as the ultimate guardian of Turkey’s
secular tradition and which has forced out of power four governments in the
past.
The recent arrest of three retired generals and nine active officers led to the
armed forces chief General Ilker Basbug to call on Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan for a surprise meeting. The military also recently released a statement
warning Turkey’s media not to "declare people and institutions guilty without
trial."
Over a hundred people, including several generals, party officials, and a former
secretary general of the National Security Council, have been detained or
questioned since July 2008.

The following article generally describes the structure of modern resistance
movements.
Fourth generation warfare
(4GW) is combat characterised by a blurring of the lines between war and
politics, soldier and civilian, peace and conflict, battlefield and safety. The
military doctrine was first defined in 1989 by a team of American analysts,
including William S. Lind, used to describe warfare's return to a decentralised
form. In terms of generational modern warfare, the fourth generation signifies
the nation states' loss of their monopoly on combat forces, returning in a sense
to the uncontrolled combat of pre-modern times. The simplest definition includes
any war in which one of the major participants is not a state but rather a
violent ideological network. While this term is similar to terrorism and
asymmetric warfare, it is much narrower. Classical examples, such as the slave
uprising under Spartacus or the assassination of Julius Caesar by the Roman
senate, predate the modern concept of warfare and are examples of the type of
combat modern warfare sought to eliminate. As such, fourth generation warfare
uses classical tactics, tactics deemed unacceptable by the preceding
generations, to weaken the advantaged opponent's will to win.
Elements
Fourth Generation Warfare is defined as conflicts which involve the following
elements:
·
Complex and long term (1960-2083)
·
Terrorism
·
A non-national or trans-national base (PCCTS,
Knights Templar, Justiciar Knights - pan European)
·
A direct attack on the enemy's culture (pro Christian European culture,
anti-multiculturalism)
·
Highly sophisticated psychological warfare, especially through manipulation of
the media (media are forced to report incidents or attacks thus will indirectly
market the agenda of the attackers). Had there not been any terrorist style
attacks the media in general would directly undermine or ignore these
organisations (with their own agenda of trying to ”silencing them to death”)
·
All available networks are used - political, economic, social and military
·
Occurs in low intensity conflict, involving actors from all networks
·
Non-combatants become tactical dilemmas (will always try to keep civilian
casualties at a minimum as some of these are likely to be a part of your own
broader ”base”.
The generations of warfare:
- 1st Generation: tactics of line and column; which developed in the age of the
musket.
- 2nd Generation: tactics of linear fire and movement, with reliance on indirect
fire.
- 3rd Generation: tactics of infiltration to bypass and collapse the enemy's
combat forces rather than seeking to close with and destroy them; and defence in
depth.
The use of fourth generation warfare can be traced to the post-World War II Cold
War period, as superpowers and major powers attempted to retain their grip on
colonies and captured territories. Unable to withstand direct combat against
bombers, tanks, and machine guns, non-state entities used tactics of secrecy,
terror, and confusion to overcome the technological and resource gap.
Fourth Generation warfare has often involved an insurgent group or non-state
entity trying to implement their own government or re-establish an old
government over the current ruling power. However, a fourth generation war is
most successful when the non-state entity does not attempt, at least in the
short term, to impose its own rule, but tries simply to disorganise and
de-legitimise the state in which the warfare takes place. The aim is to force
the regime adversary to expend manpower and money in an attempt to establish
order, ideally in such a highhanded way that it merely increases disorder, until
the state surrenders, withdraws or becomes vulnerable to a military coup.
Characteristics of 4th Generation War
Fourth Generation War is normally characterised by a “stateless” entity fighting
a state or regime (the EUSSR). Fighting can be physically such as Hezbollah or
the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to use two modern examples. In this
realm the 4GW entity uses all three levels of Fourth Generation War. These are
the physical (actual combat; it is considered the least important), mental (the
will to fight, belief in victory, etc) and moral (the most important, this
includes cultural norms, etc) levels. Fighting can also be without the physical
level of war. This is via non-violent means. Examples of this could be Gandhi’s
opposition to the British Empire or by Martin Luther King’s marches. Both
desired their factions to deescalate the conflict while the state escalates
against them, the objective being to target the opponent on the moral and mental
levels rather than the physical level. The state is then seen as a bully and
loses support.
Another characteristic of 4GW is that as with 3rd Generation War the 4GW
combatant’s forces are decentralised. With 4GW there may even be no one
combatant and that smaller groups organise into impromptu alliances to target a
bigger threat (that being the state armed forces or another faction). As a
result these alliances are weak and if the state’s military leadership is smart
enough they can split their enemy and cause them to fight amongst themselves (f
example get the cultural conservatives (pro Israel) to fight the racial
conservatives (anti-Jewish).
Fourth Generation Warfare Goals:
·
Survival
·
To convince the enemy’s political decision makers that their goals are either
unachievable or too costly for the perceived benefit (The cost of Muslim mass
immigration and continued efforts to undermine Western Culture (implementation
of multiculturalism) will be too costly.
·
To eventually replace the regime after weakening it (this process will take
decades)
Disaggregated forces, such as paramilitaries, militias, guerrillas lacking a
center of gravity, deny to their enemies a focal point at which to deliver a
conflict ending blow. As a result strategy becomes more problematic while
combating a 4GW entity.
Regime/state methods against 4GW
There are few examples of the state being effective in a 4GW conflict. The only
major example is that of the British Army in Northern Ireland after the events
of Bloody Sunday. A notable theorist of 4GW, William Lind, believes that the
reason for the British being successful in that conflict was that the British
Army did not use heavy weapons in that period and that the British Government
forces attempted to get to know the areas involved in the conflict. Also
according to Lind the British did not engage in collective punishment and
desired to keep civilian casualties to a minimum. In other words they won over
the population by reducing the risk of damage to civilians and their property
and by getting to know the local area.
Mao once wrote "the guerrilla must swim in the people as the fish swims in the
sea." The public opinion is crucial.
Note:
this article was written by a Marxist and most of the sources/material is
Marxist oriented and may not be relevant to the current Western European
nationalist/ conservative revolution.
I haven’t had time to review the relevancy of these works. Many of them
are just Marxist propaganda and should be ignored while other works/case studies
might be useful to the pan-European Conservative Revolutionary Movement.
Although we, the Justiciar Knights, are conservative revolutionaries I believe
that the specific approach in where we seize power will revolve around the
concept/approach of a coup d’état instead of a so called “mass popular
revolutionary overthrow” where hordes of people are storming the offices of
power. However, certain lessons may be learned from traditional revolutionary
thinking and approaches. Knowing that so many Marxists are anti-globalists, it
should be our goal to contribute to create a scenario where many
“Internationalist Marxists” are indirectly ideologically pacified or even join
our forces, by manipulating them into changing their mentality from
“internationalist” to “National Bolshevik” thought. AB
"Revolution" is a widely-used, and widely-abused, word. At its simplest, a
revolution represents a situation where society transforms the state: when large
numbers of people (usually) take action together in a (sometimes) successful
action to change the nature of the state or (occasionally) do away with the
state altogether. In this sense, revolutions (not always successful) have been
an absolutely normal feature of European history over the last two hundred
years, and of world history over the last fifty years or so. Revolutions are
thus to a certain degree conceptually and practically distinct from military
coups, terrorism and so on, which are not covered in this course.
The vast majority of contemporary states, including Ireland, Britain, the US,
France, Germany, China, India, and many more, can be said to owe their existence
to revolutions of one kind or another. Recent years have seen successful
revolutions (Nationalist or Marxist) in Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, South
Africa, the Philippines, and elsewhere, as well as failed attempts at
revolution, most notably in China and (arguably) in Indonesia. Revolutionary
movements continue to have an important effect on society and politics in many
parts of the world, most obviously in Mexico, Burma and the Arab world. There is
thus every reason to expect revolutions to continue to play a significant role
in world affairs in the new century.
This course sets out to do two things. Firstly, it aims to look at some concrete
examples of revolution, including some of the "great" revolutions which have
transformed world history as well as some less well-known ones which illustrate
other aspects of the revolutionary experience. Secondly, it uses this material
and other examples to cover a range of questions raised by the study of
revolutions: "what is a revolution?", "why do revolutions happen?", "what
happens in revolutions?", "why do some revolutions succeed and others fail?",
"are revolutions legitimate?", etc. The reading list includes texts related to
both themes.
Aims of the course:
This course aims to enable you to:
·
Know more about the variety of revolutions past and present and the different
processes involved in revolutionary situations
·
Understand more about the nature of revolution, its relationship to the social
order, and the issues determining the outcomes of revolution
·
Think concretely about revolution and counter-revolution as skilled human
activities and relate your own experience to that of contemporary revolutions
around the globe and past revolutions which have shaped Irish and European
society
Objectives:
By the end of this course you should be able to:
·
Give an account of the processes involved in at least one significant revolution
·
Explain coherently what revolutions are, when they happen and what kinds of
social relationships are involved
·
Argue intelligently about the normative and practical issues involved in
revolutions
·
Draw on the general sociology of revolutions to think about your own situation
and desires
Reading list
The study of revolutions is inherently political, and this is very much
reflected in the available literature. At present, the subject is rather
unfashionable in academia. Hence an unusually high proportion of the academic
books listed in this handout either date from earlier decades when the concept
of revolution was less unfamiliar to English-speaking academics, or come from
conference proceedings etc. I have tried as far as possible to include the key
figures that contemporary sociologists of revolution would make reference to.
The people who have done most thinking about revolutions, of course, have been
revolutionaries, and this handout draws strongly on "primary sources" - the
words of practicing revolutionaries. Again, you will notice a certain sociology
of knowledge reflected in the list: the "classical" revolutionaries are by now
of interest to academia, and so remain in print, while literature by
contemporary revolutionaries is of course currently in print. For the former,
you may have to search through various collections of their writings to locate
copies of pieces which were originally published as pamphlets or newspaper
articles, etc.
Anything between these two extremes is routinely difficult to find, since
revolutionary groups rarely have the money to reprint their favourite authors in
readily accessible editions. This is partly remedied by the relatively low costs
of the Internet (someone still has to transcribe or scan a text, and turn it
into HTML format), and I have included a certain number of Web sites. If you are
interested, you will find a good range out there!
The best single textbook for this course is
·
John Foran (ed.), Theorizing revolutions (London: Routledge, 1997). This is a
collection of essays on the sociology of revolution, covering some of the most
important theoretical approaches and a range of specific examples.
A good alternative is
·
Willie Thompson, The left in history. Revolution and reform in twentieth-century
politics (London: Pluto, 1997). This is a very good overview of the history of
revolutionary politics in the last 100 years.
I recommend you start the course by choosing either of these, or one of the
books listed below, and reading it through slowly:
·
Kolya Abramsky (ed.), Restructuring and resistance: diverse voices of struggle
in western Europe (2001) is an up-to-date collection of writings by contemporary
activists in and around the "anti-globalisation movement".
·
Hannah Arendt, On revolution (London: Penguin, 1973) is a classic discussion by
this well-known political philosopher.
·
Todd Gitlin, The sixties: years of hope, days of rage. (New York: Bantam, 1993)
is a classic history of the "revolutionary moment" of the 1960s.
·
Antonio Gramsci, Selections from prison notebooks (London: Lawrence and Wishart,
1971) is the classic English-language selection of this difficult but rewarding
theorist: the leader of the Italian Communist Party, writing as a political
prisoner in the face of rising fascism in Europe, and asking "Where did we go
wrong?"
·
Karl Marx, The civil war in France. (many different editions; also available
online via the Marxists Internet Archive) is his classic account of the Paris
Commune of 1871.
·
Daniel Singer, Whose millennium? Theirs or ours? (New York: Monthly Review
Press, 1999) is an intensely readable book by this veteran American journalist
considering the issue of revolution at the start of the 21st century, with
discussions of a wide range of different countries.
·
Theda Skocpol, Social revolutions in the modern world (Cambridge: Cambridge
University Press, 1994) is a recent collection of articles by the doyenne of the
study of revolutions.
·
Starhawk, Webs of power: notes from the global uprising. (Gabriola, BC: New
Society, 2002; much of this material is available online at her own web pages)
is a very readable collection of essays from this leading anti-globalisation
campaigner.
·
Mark Steel, Reasons to be cheerful: from punk to New Labour through the eyes of
a dedicated troublemaker (London: Simon and Schuster, 2001) is a very funny
personal history of activism by this well-known stand-up comedian.
·
Sidney Tarrow, Power in movement: social movements and contentious politics
(Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 1998) is a very wide-ranging discussion which places
the subject of revolution firmly in relation to other kinds of social movements.
·
Charles Tilly, European revolutions 1492 - 1992 (Oxford: Blackwell, 1995) is an
overview of the revolutionary history of Europe in the last half-millennium by
this well-known scholar of social movements.
Other starting points for this course might include:
·
the Marxists Internet Archive at
http://csf.colorado.edu/mirrors/marxists.org/admin/intro, which has a massive
collection of writing from classic and more recent authors in the Marxist
tradition;
·
the Struggle collection at struggle.ws includes a wide range of material from
anarchist and other popular movements in Ireland and abroad;
·
my own Tools for change pages at this site, particularly the section on
revolutions;
·
The counter-cultural On-line Infoshop with a wide range of relevant resources:
http://burn.ucsd.edu/~mai/;
·
Connolly Books, East Essex St., Temple Bar, Dublin 2 is one of the better
sources in Dublin for literature on revolutions;
·
Red Banner is currently the only non-aligned revolutionary magazine I know of in
Ireland(2 an issue);
·
The annual Alternative futures and popular protest conference in Manchester is
perhaps the only regular academic conference which focuses on revolutions and
related issues such as social movements and utopias. A number of photocopied
papers from this conference are available in the library, and I hope to make
some at least of the collected proceedings available;
·
A number of revolutionary groups of course exist in Ireland, several of which
have extensive bookshops available at their conferences etc. Events organised by
groups such as the Socialist Workers Party, the Socialist Party, the Workers
Solidarity Movement, etc. often include discussion of issues relevant to the
study of revolutions!
Lecture 1: Why study revolutions?
Traditionally, revolutions have been studied for three main kinds of reason. One
is celebratory, in particular when states born out of revolution (such as
Ireland) "canonise" past revolutionaries while simultaneously seeking to block
off present movements for change. A second is training, when people who seek to
bring about revolutionary change study the history of past revolutions for ideas
to use in the present. A third is "keeping the rabble in line", when politicians
and intellectuals seek to show that revolution is never workable or will only
lead to dystopia. This lecture looks at images and uses of the Russian
Revolution of 1917 to think about how we can tackle past revolutions.

Lecture 2: "It'll never happen": revolutions as ordinary history
Revolutions are commonly seen as "unreal": events which happen somewhere else,
or in the distant past, and in any case don't matter here and now. This belief
is obviously of massive sociological importance, because it forms part and
parcel of the assumption that the way things are is basically unchangeable - and
therefore serves to strengthen the forces that rule society and the groups that
benefit from that rule. This lecture examines the Zapatista uprising in Mexico
as an example of a contemporary "ordinary revolution" which involves strong
links of solidarity with ordinary Irish people.

Lecture 3: "It's all about violence": what is a revolution?
Revolutions involve a situation of "dual-power" within which the ruling class
are no longer capable of ruling, and ordinary people are no longer willing to be
ruled. Such situations are inherently unstable and prone to conflict, as each
side attempts to establish the normality and legitimacy of its own vision of the
world. These conflicts often involve violence, although it is not always on a
large scale. This lecture takes the example of the Paris Commune of 1871.

Lecture 4: "Things just are the way they are": how are non-revolutionary
situations created?
Everyday life involves a situation of "hegemony" in which ordinary people take
given power relations as "normal", see their needs as being met by the existing
social structures and so accept the leadership of ruling groups within society.
Creating this kind of situation is by no means easy, and this "hegemony" is
constantly threatened by movements from below, even when they are kept within
bounds. This lecture looks at some of the processes whereby hegemony was
maintained and challenged during the "English Revolution" of the 17th century.

Lecture 5: "It's always about leaders": who makes a revolution?
Revolutionaries do not make revolutions; ordinary people do. Although
revolutionaries bring crucial skills to the process of popular revolutions, they
cannot make them happen in the absence of large numbers of ordinary people who
have decided "things can't go on like this". These are not choices that people
make in isolation, however. This lecture looks at the failed European
revolutions of 1919 - 1923 and asks why they failed.

are. They are also intensely creative agents who develop long-standing

time-scale.

Lecture 7: the short time-scale of revolutions
Revolutionary situations take place over relatively short periods of time,
within which ordinary people mobilise (and demobilise) themselves in huge
numbers. These processes develop the divide between the "legal country" and the
"real country" to the point where the one is overthrown in favour of the other.
This lecture takes the case of the "classic" French Revolution of 1789 - 1793 to
look at a few of the key moments involved.

Lecture 8: "Nothing ever changes": the outcomes of revolutionary situations
Successful revolutions give rise to new political, and sometimes social, orders.
Failed revolutions leave long legacies of defeat, subcultures and repression.
There is therefore a lot at stake, and a constant temptation to "fudge it" and
avoid confrontation. How do revolutionary situations arrive at moments of
decision, and what determines their outcomes? This lecture looks at some
specific aspects of the revolutions of 1989 in Eastern Europe.

Lecture 9: Revolution, skills and theory
Revolutions are complicated and difficult human practices, which involve
effective communication and cooperation between a wide range of different groups
while simultaneously manoeuvring successfully against powerful institutions. How
can revolutionaries develop the necessary skills outside of revolutionary
periods? And how can ordinary people learn to become effective political agents
within the short time-periods and intense pressures of revolutions? This lecture
looks at the role played by theory within Marxist organisations and
working-class revolutions.

Lecture 10: world-revolutionary situations
The global relationships brought about by capitalism over the past
half-millennium have produced equally globalised "moments of resistance" -
arguably we are living in one right now (see lecture 14). These involve both
local processes of resistance and imagining alternative worlds, and
international processes of forging links and tackling global systems. This
lecture takes the example of 1968 to examine some of the mechanisms involved.

Lecture 12: "Down with capitalism": is the anti-globalisation movement
revolutionary?
Something that looks very like a revolutionary situation is going on at the
moment around the world, as the most powerful institutions in the world resort
to violence or abandon their meetings in the face of mass protests against their
rule. How can we assess the importance of this movement, and what is its meaning
for social change in Ireland?

3.162 A short introduction to agriculture and surface mining – creating the
cover
A short introduction to small scale farming
The following short introduction is presented in order to prepare the Justiciar
Knight for the fertiliser acquisition phase of his operation. Justiciar Knights
will establish a cover and must therefore learn the very minimum about
agricultural practices. You must learn enough about agriculture in order to pass
any scrutiny checks the fertiliser clerk may present in the form of questions.
You must learn to think, dress and act like a farmer and become confident
through study of agricultural practises and your agricultural cover. Before you
move forward with the acquisition phase you must determine several factors when
establishing the cover.
You should rent a small isolated farm which has indoor/shed storage
capabilities. It is optimal to place your “acquirement/storage base” in a rural
area in a neighbouring country if possible, as fewer red flags will be raised by
the store clerks towards foreign nationals as they will assume you will bring
the goods to your country immediately. Just keep in mind; not all nitrogen based
fertilisers are suitable as a component to a WMD – fertiliser bomb.
“What type of crop will you grow, how large is your field, how much nitrogen
based fertiliser do you need per hectare?”
You want to choose a fertiliser intensive crop for your cover which, in regards
to a climatic context, can grow in your country. A property with 10 hectare (100
000 square metres), planting the crop; sugar beets, will have a fertiliser
requirement of 1060-1360 kilograms during a one rotation (100-130 days).

Different fertilisers
There are three types of different fertiliser nutrients which prices fluctuate
considerably; nitrogen-, phosphate- and potash-fertiliser. Obviously, you will
want certain nitrogen fertilisers. The prices of nitrogen fertilisers depend on
the gas market so considering the fact that gas prises are crashing at the
moment (2010) due to new technologies being introduced in the acquirement of
natural gas from below ground, prices on nitrogen based fertilisers are
plummeting.

1000kg of nitrogen fertiliser costs approximately 620 Euros when buying in bulk.
Price is the average for April of each year when buying in bulk. Nitrogen prices
are average prices of nitrogen nutrient in anhydrous ammonia, nitrogen solution,
and urea. Phosphate prices are the P2O5 prices of superphosphate. Potash prices
are the K2O prices of muriate of potash.

Sugar Beet – essential facts
Sugar beet is a plant whose root contains a high concentration of sucrose. It is
grown commercially for sugar production. The European Union, the United States,
and Russia are the world's three largest sugar beet producers, although only the
European Union and Ukraine are significant exporters of sugar from beets. Beet
sugar accounts for 30% of the world's sugar production.
Culture
Sugar beet is a hardy biennial plant that can be grown commercially in a wide
variety of temperate climates. During its first growing season, it produces a
large (1–2 kg) storage root whose dry mass is 15–20% sucrose by weight. If the
plant is not harvested at this time, then during its second growing season,
nutrients in the root will be used to produce flowers and seeds and the root
will decrease in size. In commercial beet production, the root is harvested
after the first growing season.
In most temperate climates, beets are planted in the spring and harvested in the
autumn. At the northern end of its
range, growing seasons as short as 100 days can produce commercially viable
sugar beet crops. In warmer climates, such as in California's Imperial
Valley, sugar beets are a winter crop, planted in the autumn and harvested in
the spring.
Sugar beet is one of the most chemical-intensive crops and is a challenging crop
to produce. Sugar beets are highly sensitive to pests, diseases, and weeds from
the time of planting through harvest.
Beets are planted from a small seed; 1 kg of beet seed comprises 100,000 seeds
and will plant over a hectare (10 000 square metres) of ground.
Today, mechanical sowing, herbicide application for weed control and mechanical
harvesting have removed the reliance on numerous workers.
Harvesting is now entirely mechanical. A roto beater uses a series of blades to
chop the leaf and crown (which is high in non-sugar impurities) from the root.
The beet harvester lifts the root, and removes excess soil from the root in a
single pass over the field. A modern harvester is typically able to cover six
rows at the same time. The beets are dumped into trucks as the harvester rolls
down the field and delivered to the factory. The conveyor then removes more
soil.
If the beets are to be left for later delivery, they are formed into clamps.
Straw bales are used to shield the beets from the weather. Provided the clamp is
well built with the right amount of ventilation, the beets do not significantly
deteriorate. Beets that freeze and then defrost produce complex carbohydrates
that cause severe production problems in the factory. In the UK, loads may be
hand examined at the factory gate before being accepted.
Crop rotation
Sugar beet is an important part of a rotating crop cycle. Crop rotation is the
practice of growing a series of dissimilar types of crops in the same area in
sequential seasons for various benefits such as to avoid the build up of
pathogens and pests that often occurs when one species is continuously cropped.
Crop rotation also seeks to balance the fertility demands of various crops to
avoid excessive depletion of soil nutrients. A traditional component of crop
rotation is the replenishment of nitrogen through the use of green manure in
sequence with cereals and other crops. It is one component of polyculture. Crop
rotation can also improve soil structure and fertility by alternating
deep-rooted and shallow-rooted plants.
Method and purpose – crop rotation
Crop rotation avoids a decrease in soil fertility, as growing the same crop
repeatedly in the same place eventually depletes the soil
of various nutrients. A crop that leaches the soil of one kind of
nutrient is followed during the next growing season by a dissimilar crop that
returns that nutrient to the soil or draws a different ratio of nutrients, for
example, rice followed by cotton. By crop rotation farmers can keep their fields
under continuous production, without the need to let them lie fallow, and
reducing the need for artificial fertilisers, both of which can be expensive.
Rotating crops adds nutrients to the soil, and dirt. Legumes, plants of the
family Fabaceae, for instance, have nodules on their roots which contain
nitrogen-fixing bacteria. It therefore makes good sense agriculturally to
alternate them with cereals (family Poaceae) and other plants that require
nitrates. A common modern crop rotation is alternating soybeans and maize
(corn). In subsistence farming, it also makes good nutritional sense to grow
beans and grain at the same time in different fields.
Crop rotation is a type of cultural control that is also used to control pests
and diseases that can become established in the soil over time. The changing of
crops in a sequence tends to decrease the population level of pests. Plants
within the same taxonomic family tend to have similar pests and pathogens. By
regularly changing the planting location, the pest cycles can be broken or
limited. For example, root-knot nematode is a serious problem for some plants in
warm climates and sandy soils, where it slowly builds up to high levels in the
soil, and can severely damage plant productivity by cutting off circulation from
the plant roots. Growing a crop that is not a host for root-knot nematode for
one season greatly reduces the level of the nematode in the soil, thus making it
possible to grow a susceptible crop the following season without needing soil
fumigation.
It is also difficult to control weeds similar to the crop which may contaminate
the final produce. For instance, ergot in weed grasses is difficult to separate
from harvested grain. A different crop allows the weeds to be eliminated,
breaking the ergot cycle.
This principle is of particular use in organic farming, where pest control may
be achieved without synthetic pesticides.
A general effect of crop rotation is that there is a geographic mixing of crops,
which can slow the spread of pests and diseases during the growing season. The
different crops can also reduce the effects of adverse weather for the
individual farmer and, by requiring planting and harvest at different times,
allow more land to be farmed with the same amount of machinery and labour.
The choice and sequence of rotation crops depends on the nature of the soil, the
climate, and precipitation which together determine the type of plants that may
be cultivated. Other important aspects of farming such as crop marketing and
economic variables must also be considered when choosing a crop rotation.
Processing - reception
After they are harvested, beets are hauled to a factory. In the U.K., beets are
transported by a hauler, or by a tractor and a trailer by local farmers.
Railways and boats are no longer used.
Each load is weighed and sampled before it gets tipped onto the reception area,
typically a "flat pad" of concrete, where it is moved into large heaps.
The beet sample is checked for:
·
soil tare - the amount of non beet delivered
·
crown tare - the amount of low sugar beet delivered
·
sugar content ("pol") - amount of sucrose in the crop
·
nitrogen content - for recommending future fertilizer use to the farmer
From these elements, the actual sugar content of the load is calculated and the
grower's payment determined.
The beet is moved from the heaps into a central channel or gulley, where it is
washed towards the processing plant.

Sugar Beet Farming – How ”Sweet” is it?
Few of us know that more than half of US sugar production comes from sugar
beets. (Most of the rest comes from sugarcane.) US sugar beet production has
grown significantly over the past decade, tied primarily to expanded processing
capacity among sugar beet factories. US farmers produced 33 million tons of
sugar beets on 640 000 hectares in 2000, versus 28 million tons of sugar beets
on 566 000 hectares in 1990. Most sugar beets were processed in 26 factories
near production areas to minimize transportation costs and deterioration of
sugar content.
US sugar beets are generally grown in areas with cooler climates; however, some
sugar beets are grown in warmer climates like the Imperial Valley of California.
US sugar beet producers incurred operating costs (inputs, hired labour, etc.)
averaging 13,87 Euro per ton of sugar beets in 2000; and total costs (including
depreciation in farm machinery, value of land and operator labour) averaged
28,17 Euro per ton. But costs vary widely among farmers due to differences in
yields, input use, irrigation, farm size, and location.
At the 2000 average market price of 25,83 Euro per ton of sugar beets, 88
percent of US sugar beet producers were able to cover their operating costs and
35 percent were able to cover their total (economic) costs. In 2000, producers
had the opportunity to participate in the payment-in-kind (PIK) diversion
program to destroy sugar beets on a specified number of hectares in return for a
like amount of government-owned sugar. With the 2000 diversion program providing
nearly three-quarters of producers an average of 82 Euro worth of sugar per
planted hectare, 89 percent of producers were able to cover their operating
costs and 43 percent were able to cover their total (economic) costs of sugar
beet production.
Other factors you should be aware of
It is illegal for farmers to distribute fertilisers in their fields after a
certain date in some countries. F example in Norway, it is illegal to distribute
fertilisers after October 1st.
A farmer needs at least one week without (heavy) rain before he is able to use
distribute the fertiliser, so occasionally; he will have to ask the government
for a dispensation from the regulation if it has rained constantly for a long
period prior to the deadline. If he distributes the fertiliser during heavy
rainfall, the result will be that the fertiliser is washed away with the water
to the nearby rivers.
Prices of natural gas, which is used to produce ammonia - the main input in all
nitrogen fertilisers, is the primary factor in the pricing of nitrogen based
fertiliser. Between June 2007 and June 2008, natural gas prices increased more
than 65 percent. As a result, the cost to produce nitrogen fertiliser increased.
However, the price dropped sharply in 2009 and continue to drop in 2010.
In 2007, 58 million tons of fertilisers were shipped to US agricultural
producers by ocean freight, railroads, trucks, barges, and pipelines.

A short introduction to small scale surface mining
Before initiating the high grade explosive acquisition phase you should research
small, medium and large mining companies in your country.
Start with the companies listed on your national stock exchange and gain
access to their prospectus or annual financial data. This is available on the
company’s site.
Consider creating a prospectus of your own altering an existing prospectus (PDF
file) using a software such as Foxit PDF Editor which allows you to make changes
and fill in your own details.
You may want to create a “mining cover” which involves the creation of a
credible story – which will be your unofficial mining “project/business”. This
cover may serve as a deciding factor for the acquirement of high grade
explosives from suppliers on the black market in your own country or from
abroad. This cover may also prove to be crucial should you ever be compromised
and persecuted by the system protectors of your country as it will contribute to
create a reasonable doubt.
Consider buying some new or second hand equipment relating to prospecting to
strengthen your cover story:
http://www.goldrushtradingpost.com/
or you can acquire some of the same equipment (used) on Ebay

Cultural Marxist/Multiculturalist Alliance:
the alliance of European political, cultural and media elites (cultural
Marxists/multiculturalists) who support the implementation of
multiculturalism/cultural Marxism/cultural relativism.
Cultural Marxism/multiculturalism:
term describing the current Western European/US political/moral systems based on
“political correctness” – a mix of Marxism, extreme egalitarianism, suicidal
humanism, anti-nationalism, anti-Europeanism and capitalist globalism.
The ML ideology or political platform
(Maoist-Leninism) ML which is also
a European hate ideology, was later refined “toned down” and disguised and
incorporated into politically correct movements such as; feminism, pro-drugs,
pro-sexual revolusion, anti-racism, anti-fascism, anti-Christendom,
anti-capitalism, gay and disability rights movements, environmentalism etc. (see
chapters explaining the Frankfurt School). The current ideology is in fact a
“communism light” or a deceptive form of communism which was created and
propagated as soon as the Marxist-Leninists’ understood that the Europeans
globally (Western Europe, US, Canada, Australia) would not follow the example of
their Russian comrades (in early 20th century). Feminism (including
Sexual Revolution), egalitarianism, humanism are highly compatible and/or
similar overlapping political concepts/ideologies. The purpose of cultural
Marxism is to destroy or deconstruct Western Civilisation (where the Christian
European patriarchy has dominated historically) and instead create the
USASSR/EUSSR, a communist utopia based on Marxist-Leninist principles. In order
to achieve this they must destroy traditional European social cohesion in
society which is the basis for traditional European nation states. They are
therefore focused on the gradual deconstruction of European cultures, identities
and the traditional structures (nuclear family, traditional morality and
patriarchal structures) which has dominated humanity for the last 300 000 years.
They understood early that political indoctrination would not be enough. They
must destroy the very fabric of Europeanism so they (together with humanists and
capitalist globalists) pushed for mass-third world immigraton. However, they
made one critical mistake. They underestimated Islam which proved to be simply
too resilient to be assimilated/pacified/feminised, even for them. Communism is
often used when describing a complete ideology (economical principles included)
while “cultural Marxism” does not describe economical principles.
