Invasion
While in 1998 immigrants accounted for 1.6% of Spain’s population (637,000, to be added to another half a million gypsies holding Spanish passports), only 11 years later, in 2009, they already accounted for 12.1% — a figure that does not include those who became naturalized in the meantime. Since race is not registered in the census, once they are given citizenship the non-white aliens are no longer counted as immigrants in the statistics.
But taking into account that we Spaniards numbered 40 million by the year 2000, and that our population was already slightly decreasing back then and abortion has become even more attainable since, it is evident that the millions of inhabitants who exceed that number today must necessarily be foreigners, many of them naturalized. This means that foreigners have become around 20% of Spain’s population in only 25 years.
How was this possible?
In 1996 the first Right-wing government since the Spanish Transition came to office, and it was this government that began to bring in and regularize huge masses of non-white aliens. We were told that we needed workers in a country which, since the end of Franco’s regime, had rapidly gone from full employment to having one of the highest unemployment rates in Europe!
We were also told that it would be very unsupportive on our part to prevent the entry of invaders since “we were also migrants,” which is equivalent to equating the legal emigration of Spaniards to other white countries in Central Europe after the Second World War – which happened because those countries needed manpower after many of their men had died in the war — with the current invasion of racially and culturally alien beings who break our immigration laws, frequently assault border guards, and whose presence is anything but necessary. Despite all of this, our governments end up rewarding them with citizenship documents after a few years.
All in all, until the 2008 crisis the Spanish economy was still apparently doing well and, as our population was aging, the regime chose to use that as an excuse so that the native people would not oppose their arrival; they were going to pay the pensions of our elders by increasing the number of workers and other contributors with respect to that of pensioners.
What happened afterwards was exactly the opposite, of course. Those foreigners, instead of paying for anyone’s retirement, have dedicated themselves to suckling from the state’s coffers, forming a privileged parasitic caste very prone to living on social benefits, enjoying preference when it comes to being considered for subsidies and who receive them in an amount generally much higher than the pensions of the native people, who have been paying taxes all their lives. Today, many people ironically call the invaders “pension-payers” in memory of that propaganda lie.
First signs of popular opposition
Nevertheless, there were isolated signs of resistance from the very beginning. In El Ejido in February 2000, the native population revolted against the criminality of the alien invaders, who had turned their peaceful town of 50,000 inhabitants into a hotbed of citizen insecurity. It was triggered when foreigners in the town — mainly Moroccan Arabs — committed, within a single week, three murders (of two farmers and a 26-year-old girl). The people erected barricades and began patrolling the streets themselves while the government deputy, Fernando Hermoso, who showed up there ended up having to flee from an angry crowd that chased and beat him until he jumped into his car. The government sent hundreds of police officers from other towns and 55 people were arrested because of the protest.
Since then there have been a dozen similar events all over Spain. It is funny to see how racial differences also stand out in the riots organized by each race. All the riots carried out by blacks, gypsies, or Arabs have occurred because the police have allegedly treated some offender too harshly, who is invariably a member of their own race, or they simply engage in burning cars for fun, as they do in the most invaded neighborhoods of France and other European countries. For their part, whites only start race riots as protests against the unbearable crime brought by other races.
Although it is a reality that is increasingly difficult to hide, the media have long since ceased to mention the origin or nationality of the offenders and are redoubling their efforts not to lose control over the narrative and over the minds of the people; this is similar to what the social networks, internet search engines, and so on have been doing. We are well aware of the media empire’s persuasive power and that many lemmings succumb to white self-hatred and race-mixing propaganda because they have been convinced that this will make them socially acceptable and because there are still not enough people who publicly question the racial-masochist narrative. This is how they generate the phenomenon of the “silent majority,” trapped in a vicious circle from which, in order to get out of it, it is enough for a few brave people to dare to break taboos.
The US & Spain: Different cases, same accusations
The comparative history of the various white peoples allows us to study how the System manipulates us with totally different and incompatible narratives depending on the specific case of the white country concerned in order to achieve the same result.
History is irrelevant; the white man is always guilty, and does wrong whether he acts one way or the other. If a white people has invaded others’ territory in the past, the present foreign invasion is justified because it is “a fair punishment for the wickedness of the white race.” If a white people has been invaded by others in the past, the present foreign invasion is justified because “we are equal” and we would be wicked if we didn’t let them in.
You can buy Greg Johnson’s It’s Okay to Be White here.
Jewish “anti-racist” organizations use the indigenist argument in the United States to justify the invasion of that country. Despite the fact that the white race is incontestably the indigenous people of the European continent, in Europe these same groups make use of a very different version of the narrative which states that being the indigenous race does not give us any kind of special right over our land since “races do not exist” and, in fact, we were intolerant and wrong to expel the North African invaders instead of assimilating with them, because they were “culturally enriching.” There is no crazy enough story that the general public cannot come to believe if there is no alternative media to contradict it. (Needless to say, these same Jewish media and organizations which spread these narratives in the US, in Spain, and all over the white world support a totally different version of the story with regard to their own Jewish ethnostate in Israel, from which 800,000 Palestinians were expelled during the Nakba and still cannot return to the homes where they were born. Many of them now live in overcrowded conditions in Gaza, one of the very few colonies that still exists in the world today — and you are an anti-Semite if you mention these Jewish crimes.)
There are also lots of examples of selective racial existence or non-existence in the systemic propaganda, even within the same country. We whites only exist as a race if it is necessary for us to be blamed for alleged original sins from centuries ago, but when it comes to our achievements and accomplishments, they become “achievements of mankind” and it is absurd for whites to take credit for them because races do not exist. It would take too long to list all the contradictory arguments of the anti-whites that inflict cognitive dissonance, but it can be summed up by saying that races only exist when it is needed to say that whites are the worst of them.
Whites in the US are supposed to allow themselves to be overrun as a form of “atonement” for their ancestors conquering the land of other peoples; all of South America and in fact the entire world is now entitled to take over their land. Nevertheless, the fact that we Spaniards were invaded and oppressed by the Muslims of North Africa does not justify our subsequent colonization of northern Morocco, the western Sahara, and so on.
No biological group is innocent of having made war against other groups. In the case of the Amerindians, their ethnic groups massacred and enslaved each other before Europeans arrived; hence, if they did so with their racial brethren, it is obvious that they would have had no qualms about doing the same to other races had they not been technologically backward and geographically isolated from other continents. Let us not forget that, supermen as they were, Hernán Cortés and his hundreds of men who arrived in only a few ships could never have conquered an empire of seven million inhabitants if it wasn’t for the collaboration of numerous indigenous peoples who were being oppressed and slaughtered by the Aztecs. Thus it was that in 1521 Hernán Cortés conquered Tenochtitlán, the Aztec capital, with an army of 900 Spaniards and 150,000 Indians who saw in him a liberator. Such was the hatred that these peoples felt for the sadistic Aztec imperialists that the Spaniards had to restrain their indigenous allies’ cruelty towards the defeated after the battle. This is never taken into account, of course.
Unlike that of Spain, the character of the United States as a colony that gained independence from Britain, as well as its former isolationist policies, has meant that throughout most of its history it has been more closely identified with the colonized countries than with the colonizers. Moreover, it has been the country that did the most in the last century to help colonies to gain independence from both European and non-European imperial powers. In fact, precisely because of this the United States was well-regarded in the Arab world — at least, until its submission to the new State of Israel radically changed its international public image. None of that matters anymore, however; now America is only viewed as an oppressor, even by many of its own people.
On the other hand, we can find examples of white countries that have never had colonies and which have inhabited their homelands for centuries, or even millennia. The Scandinavians are one such example. Nevertheless, none of this affects the narrative. No matter how different the history of each white people may be, and no matter how much right they have to the land where they live, the media will always invent incompatible pretexts and adapt their discourse to each case in order to justify white dispossession and genocide everywhere.
Not even two generations of something as insane as the masochistic self-discrimination called “affirmative action,” which is as unfair as it is useless, changes one iota of their hatred for us, which has been instigated by the tribe that dominates the media in the United States. Nothing will ever be enough.
The inevitable conclusion
In the face of this anti-white offensive, it is inevitable that our race will end up uniting around the defense of its rights as a racial group, starting with the right to exist (which implies self-government and an exclusive territory for its own kind). This white racial awareness cannot be anything but global — not only within each country, since in this conflict all the world’s whites are in the same boat, even if in some regions of the world the replacement genocide has advanced further than in others (or where violent genocide has begun, such as that suffered by the white minority in southern Africa).
The term Reconquista — which, ridiculously, non-white invaders whose ancestors did not even live in the territory of today’s US claim for themselves — is a word which hardly anyone has more of a right to than our race. The Spanish Reconquista was but one of several reconquests that the white race had to undertake against non-white invaders. In addition to recapturing the continent’s southwest, the Europeans also had to reconquer the southeast by fighting against the Ottoman invaders, as well as in the east against the Mongol invaders, and before them the Huns. This is not to mention all the invasion attempts that failed, such as those perpetrated by the then multi-racial Persian empire, which tried to invade the continent through Greece. If anyone is entitled to reparations for suffering imperialism by other races, it is us. No other race is more guiltless.
It is time to reconquer our homelands for our posterity.

Terms like “Reconquista” are for me soured like all the other big slogans of the postmodern rightist movements who claim heritage with ruthless men of the past while they themselves evolve their worldview around what is basically social humanism and are so divided that they can’t even muster ten guys for whatever. Reconquer spain from what, with whom, for whom. Its mostly a backwater depopulating itself even if you would “reconquer” these places what would you do with them? You have no one to settle them. The spaniards themselves are a heavily bastardized pool of non-white genetics why would i want more of them? I have enough of big but empty slogans like “Reconquista” by people distributing flyers but never having done a breakin.
Spain belongs to the Spanish, who still do exist. It’s a great country, and the people didn’t seem bastardized. It’s different from what you’ll see in large parts of Latin America.
This post is a bunch of anti-Spanish anti-nativist anti-European claptrap.
Bastardized with whom? With the Celts? With the Germanic Goths? With the Romans? With the Basques?
The last ethnic descendants of Arabs in Spain were expelled in the 17th century. Genetic studies show that the percentage of admixture of modern Spaniards with Arabs is far more residual even than that of Finns with Mongoloids, for example.
Well before 1492, the vast majority of Muslims in Spain were neither Arabs nor Berbers, but indigenous Iberians who had converted to Islam. Spaniards have very little Arab ancestry.
Spain is a beautiful country, and the people who gave us El Cid, Cervantes, and Velazquez are targets of the Great Replacement as well. I’m so sick of this provincial Nordicist BS.
As a Scandinavian descendant and someone who’s lived in Spain for a significant time I’m inclined to agree with you. The Spanish are a great people. I’m also proud of my Nordic and Viking ancestors. These arrogant assholes likely haven’t traveled and got to know all of Europe. I like the place so much I learned 5 of it’s languages. Even those barbaric Russians welcomed me as one of thier own. I ended up staying for 6 years plus. BTW their books are even better in the original. Dostoevsky is a real trip. Don Quijote was a stud. ¡Viva España!
What an asinine comment and a nasty insult to Asier, one of the most exceptional white men and European patriots I know. Unlike you, Asier is doing terrific work for his people: https://t.me/nacrac. Spaniards are the descendants of Ferdinand, Cortes, and Marcus Aurelius. They created a global empire and were primary authors of one of the greatest chapters of our history, the Age of Exploration. The Spanish nation is dispossessed and targeted for cultural extermination like every other European nation because. . . They are Europeans. People like you read an article, nitpick one thing, and spill your antisocial bile, probably because you are unhappy with yourself. Learn how to act like a civilized white person, and respect our fantastic writers, or we will make sure your comments do not appear again.
I’ve received three comments on calls from people who actually support Counter-Currents today (add Alexandra, Kathryn, and Beau to the list) about how much they appreciate this article. The first time that’s happened in four and a half months.
I’m glad to hear your take on that. I traveled to Spain about the time you were describing. I saw an alarming number of vibrants and wondered who the hell let them all into the country when they clearly didn’t belong. (From a damn American tourist, that really says something!) I see that it was by people related to those who did the same thing to the USA. They’re not as clever as they think they are.
Where in Spain were you? Outside of Barcelona , Madrid and perhaps immigrant farm labor in Almeria I’m sure it’s less than 10%. Spain is a paradise compared to the US. The Moroccans I’ve seen in Spain ( at least in Andalucia) keep to themselves and don’t cause many problems.
I was in Barcelona. It really is a charming city, and it’s a shame to see it getting turned into a multiracial goulash like all our other big cities.
That’s because in Barcelona, and all over Catalonia, pro-independence politicians promote the invasion mainly from Arab, Black and Asian countries. As their “nationalism” is purely linguistic, they prefer immigration from non-Spanish speaking countries. This means they prefer a Senegalese Black who can be taught Catalan, than a White Argentinean who speaks Spanish.
Of course, in the rest of Spain, there are also other traitorous politicians who, in the same way as Joe Biden, try to gain votes among non-White invaders by providing them with Spanish passports.
I did get the impression that sectional politics got mixed up with leftist ideology. That’s unfortunate.
At the time I was wearing a camouflage jacket. I got the idea that it had some significance, but couldn’t figure out which side it put me on!
Sr. Abadroa,
I read this with, if not pleasure (it is never nice to read about mass immigration into white countries), then with great interest. Your contrast of the riots between whites and colored invaders, and the point about the misuse of Reconquista by non-whites in the southwest here and the need for the Spanish to rightfully seize it back, were welcome. Please continue your writing.
Thank you, Kathryn. Just now, a few days after writing the article, we are witnessing a new example of non-White riots. This time in Sweden, in cities like Orebro, Malmö, Linkoping, Norrkoping and Landskrona. The reason: preventing the freedom of speech of the native people.
” . . . the unbearable crime brought by other races.” This one phrase sums up the totality of unwanted immigration everywhere. But we. as the original Whites of Europe and North America, are up against a wall of the same worldwide “demand for workers”. I feel as if I’m in a prison for something not of my making. Whenever I drive through the nearby communities in Southern California’s San Gabriel Valley, every schoolyard I pass is filled with children of darker complexion than me — and not a blond head in sight. Whites had been pushed out of Central Los Angeles with its unbearable crime, east to San Gabriel, and now the same pattern is closing in on us here. So far, only my car has been stolen 3 times, and the catalytic converter once, but those school yards are a warning for our future.
We’re in a period of “Replacement Genocide” — as the author describes it perfectly — in this country, but the majority (us) cannot see or understand or acknowledge their predicament. They sit idly by, shopping, playing video games, having their nails done, while foreign termites are eating their homes.
There were so many Moroccan immigrants in Martorell, Spain when I lived there. The local Catalans and Spanish were a minority there. Honestly, the Latin American immigrants were preferable there. They linguistically assimilated better and most seemed to enjoy Spanish culture and paella. The gyspies and Africans may be worsrtin my opinion. It’s time for a reconquista not only for the Spanish, but the Catalans, Basque, Galicians, Arogonese, Valencianos and every other group native to that beautiful peninsula. I heard that Portugal is 80% Portuguese. It sounds much better. I plan to visit soon and check it out. Hopefully this secret doesn’t get out and they get swamped with immigrants. ¡Viva España! Viva Portugal!
I loved Spain when I visited the northern part, mostly the Basque provinces back in the mid90s. I shudder to think of the foreigners who have increased in number since, but I’m sure it’s still salvageable, and a beautiful country besides.
Our Basque hosts were incredibly generous and hospitable, both at the agrotursimo inn we stayed and the corporate counterparts (it was a business trip) who winded and dined us and took us to a Div2 soccer match which was better calibre than anything in North America at the time. I don’t love the sport, but the ambience was fantastic, so much energy, and having whisky in the corporation’s luxury box didn’t hurt either. The best fish I ever had was on that trip, and I hate myself for not remembering the name.
Thanks to the author for this column. Your country is a jewel which has given so much to the world (Cervantes, Goya, Cortes, etc etc), and I say this with some envy as Greek whose basketball and soccer teams routinely get whipped by the Spaniards 😉
God Bless the author and his great people and country.
Thank you very much, Hellene. In fact, I am from the Basque Country, which, thanks to the complexity of our language, is not among the areas of Spain most invaded by non-Whites.
I have not had the pleasure of visiting Greece, but I have been among the ruins of Emporion, the main city that the ancient Greek civilization left here in Iberia. There were also other Greek cities on our Mediterranean coast, such as Rhode, Hemeroskopeion and Mainake.
It is simply impossible to overstate the great cultural influence that Greece has had on Spain and the entire White civilization and the role that your country has played in the defense of the European continent against the “Persians” and the Turkic peoples. We will always be grateful for your own Reconquista!
Thank you, Mr. Abadroa. Indeed, my memories of País Vasco are among my most prized from all my travels, and this was a business trip! The pintxos at the bar at 100 pesetas each, the never-ending ice cold Cruzcampo and San Miguel cañas, Rioja, cidra, jamón serrano, I better stop now as I’m getting too thirsty and hungry for delicacies that are forbidden during my Paschal fast (our Easter is this Sunday).
Donostia was such a pleasant seaside town. Next time, I shall visit Bilbo as well. I was very much intrigued by the Basque flag’s similarity to the Union Jack.
Everything was so pleasant despite the often dreary November temperatures. All ages of people outdoors in even the smallest communities. Life! Once I ordered a dessert which to North Americans is a ‘Swiss roll’. In Spain, it’s brazo gitano, and one realizes why. It resembles the arm of a Gypsy holding a rolled blanket or cot. So imaginative and colorful.
I learned another thing today from you, that my forebears made it all the way to what is modern-day Spain; I had no idea! Thank you for the tips on ancient sites to visit next time I travel there, hopefully on long holidays. I will follow you closely on CC, and hope to provide you with some travel advice to my ancestral homeland, specifically the southern Peloponnese, where I hail from.
Cheers!
“Race is not ‘an’ issue, it is the issue.”
Sam Dickson said something to that effect in one of his talks.
The “deal” which White countries made in the wake of World War II was something like this: in return for White people granting non-Whites full civil rights, and for Europeans withdrawing from their colonies, non-Whites would respect the laws and boundaries of White people. e.g., Africans in America would integrate themselves according to White standards, former colonial subjects would stay within the borders of their newly independent one-man-one-vote states. The result was supposed to be a stable international and domestic order, given legal form in such artifacts as the Atlantic Charter and the various Civil Rights laws.
Well, that setup lasted a few decades and is currently in a stage of dissolution. We see increasing numbers of statements along this line: “Europeans colonized Africa and Asia, so why don’t Africans and Asians have the right to colonize Europe?” Or: “Sub-Saharan Africans were looted from Africa so why don’t Sub-Saharans have the right to loot business districts in the US?”
Effectively, the third worlders now swarming into White homelands and conducting uprisings within White cities have violated the deal noted above and have declared war on the White world. Let us note that in this declaration, they have been fully supported by the hostile elites which dominate the Western world.
The open borders front does have an inherent contradiction, as noted in the article: pro-indigenous when it suits its purposes, pro-immigrant when it serves another purpose. Of course, their party line has nothing to do with the rights of migrants or indigenous. It has to do with pushing an anti-White agenda.
The dilemma for White people comes from trying to understand the situation in terms of abstract ideological principles such as the “rights of immigrants” as opposed to the realities of power, pace Machiavelli, Burnham, Schmitt, and others.
We have seen this phenomenon play out since 1945 in what amounts to a race war against White people, a war fought in the streets of Birmingham, Watts, Ferguson and Minneapolis, the actions in the Rhodesian “bush,” the fiefdoms staked out from the banlieues of Paris to the No Go Zones of Malmo, the killings on the Boer farms of the veldt, the assaults on young Whites in the recesses of Rotherham and the courtyards of Cologne, the anti-White struggle sessions on campus and in the workplace, the rising tide of third worlder criminality in cities once built by White people worldwide, the iconoclasm directed against the statues of great White heroes, the waves of Africans conducting amphibious assaults across the Med duly abetted by elite sponsored NGOs, and currently along the former southern US and European borders via the Great Replacement.
Which gets back to the Dickson quote.
When you clear away all the abstractions about “indigenous this” or “refugees that,” it comes down to hostile elites using the third worlders as a weapon against White nations. But in this war, White peoples have mostly refused to stand up for themselves as White people, and so end up being picked off one at a time.
Accordingly, White advocates need to reject framing the argument in the enemy’s terms of abstract principles. Instead, the response ought to be along these lines: “White people have a right to exist and to be supreme in their own nations. Third world migrations and internal uprisings are acts of war and will be treated as such. And hostile elites who support third worlders are committing the grossest acts of treachery.”Once you get the right political line on the table, the correct strategy follows.
Excellent article- where else can I read you work? I really enjoy your take on the situation in Spain…
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. At this moment, however, all my articles and books are only available in Spanish, because I have never collaborated before with an English-speaking webzine or publication.
I consider Counter-Currents to be the most competent and effective team for the advancement of the White Cause and the best vehicle for a paradigm shift among White people, and that is why I just started my collaboration here, which will certainly continue for as long as they wish!
Very few people know much about Spain, specially in the US, because it has had its very name appropriated, if I may use woke terminology. Google “Spanish music” and you will find Latin American stuff, google “Spanish art” and you will find Latin American stuff, google “Spanish whatever” and you will find Latin American whatever (or, sometimes, Andalusian Gypsy); many Americans themselves call Latin Americans “Spanish”; I was reading an online post earlier of some Latino (probably not from Lazio at all) saying “have you ever heard a white person speaking Spanish properly?”; another Latino, when required to speak English, shouted in Spanish: “I don’t speak the language of colonisers” (a university student!). It is as if they genuinely believed that Spanish is the “native” language of the Latino People (whatever that means)
