There is an old joke in the UK about the premiership of Margaret Thatcher, between 1979 and 1990, and it runs something like this. When the Iron Lady took power, she found a country with an ailing economy. Fortunately, she reinvigorated that country in just ten years. Unfortunately, that country was Japan. (more…)

Reduced, then, to teaching and preaching, the Negroes will have no outlet but to go down a blind alley, if the sort of education which they are now receiving is to enable them to find the way out of their present difficulties.

The European Union Parliament elections have come and gone. While some results were being finalized just this morning, the dust has settled more or less and we can take stock of what occurred.
France
We’ll start with what is arguably the most momentous election result. In France, National Rally, of which Marine Le Pen is a member and which is now led by the handsome and charismatic Jordan Bardella, won 31% of the votes and gained 12 seats in the EU Parliament. (more…)

As we use to say around here, after the famous book title: Im Westen nichts Neues. That’s “Nothing new to report from the West,” but you might know it as All Quiet on the Western Front. (Whoever thought that this was a fitting translation?)
It’s not that there’s nothing new to report, but it’s mainly unspectacular. Everything went exactly as expected with the European Union elections. The only big surprise was Macron’s decision to hold new national elections in France as a result of the voters’ obvious disapproval of the current government’s politics. You have to give it to the French: They don’t do anything by halves. (more…)

Poland joined the European Union 20 years ago. For many, it was the only right and natural choice. The EU was supposed to give us all that we had been denied by the Communist system. EU membership was to guarantee freedom of speech and opinion as well as freedom to conduct business, while ensuring the protection of private property. At the same time, the balance of power between the larger and smaller EU member states made us believe we would preserve our national sovereignty. (more…)

Immigration has become a major issue in Central Europe since 2015, whereas since the fall of Communism the primary social issue in this region had been emigration . But a lot has changed since the famous “migrant crisis” along the Balkan route — and the faces you see in the streets of Warsaw, Budapest, Prague, and Bratislava are changing, too.
Over a few weeks in the summer of 2015, a veritable migratory route was set up stretching from Turkey and Greece to Hungary, the guardian of the Schengen Zone’s southeastern border. (more…)

Dans mon débat avec E. Michael Jones sur la guerre en Ukraine, ma déclaration d’ouverture affirmait que les nationalistes en Occident — et en fait, à travers le monde — devraient soutenir l’Ukraine contre son envahisseur, la Russie. E. Michael Jones a affirmé que les Occidentaux ne devraient pas soutenir l’Ukraine. (more…)

Jobbik, svého času označovaný za nejradikálnější parlamentní stranu v Evropě, se v průběhu několika málo let proměnil v centristické a Evropské unii nakloněné uskupení, čímž zcela opustil svou dřívější radikální rétoriku, namířenou proti EU, NATO, hnutí LGBT nebo cikánské zločinnosti. Dnes se strana pokouší vytvořit spojenectví s liberální a progresivní levicí s cílem svrhnout vládu premiéra Viktora Orbána a jeho strany Fidesz. V tomto článku se pokusíme stručně nastínit průběh tohoto politického obratu o 180°. (more…)

As I have written before, while it is an undeniable truth that NATO and even the European Union, which is much worse than NATO, is preferable to the Russian Federation due to the incontestable fact that pro-white organizations can operate more freely in the former than in the latter, my ideal scenario is Eastern Europe breaking away from NATO and forming its own military alliance with its headquarters in Warsaw, consisting of the following countries in no particular order: (more…)

The radical attitudes of some of the Central European state’s leaders and their demands to escalate the war with Russia — Hungary is a notable exception — is not the result of these states’ specific historical experiences. If we want to understand them, we need to understand how a layer of aspirants to membership in the global elite was formed there. (more…)
