Breaking glass

Melanie Phillips hears a distant sound as neo-Nazi parties gain ground in Austria. Local variations on the same "ultra-right" theme -- actually socialism with a race fetish -- are making advances across Europe.

These parties campaigned on an anti EU integration and anti-Muslim platform. Their success is due to the enormous feeling among the people of Europe against, on the one hand, the destruction of their powers of self-government and their assimilation into the undemocratic Euro superstate, and on the other the threat to western culture from Islamist conquest. On both of these seismic issues, the leaders of the democracies are either burying their heads in the sand or are actively bringing them into being. With no democratic party addressing these concerns and instead demonising legitimate nationalist feeling as ‘racist’, xenophobic’ or ‘Islamophobic’, people are turning to parties which truly are racist, anti-foreigner, anti-Muslim, anti-Jew and sometimes, indeed, neo-Nazi, but which are exploiting this political vacuum just as all such parties have always exploited other vacuums in leadership.

This presents a nightmarish prospect in which, if the democratic parties of Europe continue to demonise legitimate aspirations to maintain national cultures against undemocratic and anti-democratic forces, more and more people will be drawn to these parties – see the sophisticated pitch by and increasing support for the BNP in Britain, and social disorder will rise. The rise of these noxious groups is entirely due to the abandonment by social democratic parties of the defence of the nation and the right of individual peoples to their own cultures and self-government. The continuing rise of the BNP in Britain is overwhelmingly the outcome both of the fanatical Europhilia which masquerades as the centre ground while engaged on its project to destroy Britain as an independent nation, and the systematic destruction of British national identity and the demonisation of those Britons who object by the dominant left-wing elites.

And once again these elites will blame the Jews. Israel, arm yourself. I am sorry but it seems my people have short memories, have learned nothing and are not to be trusted. Across the Western world, self-serving "anti-racists" persecute Jewish writers and publishers -- or writers with "Jewish sounding" last names -- even as they set out the welcome mat for the same Dark Ages fascists Franco used to rape Spain. Welcome to 1929.

Then as now there are men actively working toward disaster in the hope they can seize control and make an utopia of the wreckage. I look around me and all I see is Weimar decadence and denial. I am all in favour of decadence on an aesthetic level, obviously. What I pray for is decadence with teeth.

Directly related: On this side of the Atlantic the West sleeps more deeply.

Thinking along the same lines: Christopher Hitchens in a candid moment (via Will).

Christopher Hitchens has warned you: The end is near! Speaking with fellow Vanity Fair contributor Dee Dee Myers at Tribeca's Brandy Bar, the grumpy Cassandra predicted, "America is doomed. No one in this room will ever, in their lifetime, see calm and order and peace!" Time for another scotch, Hitch.

Better have one yourself, Rush Molloy; the nice men with the beards will put a stop to that sort of thing once the dust settles. And Google Cassandra while you are at it.

Update: You know who also cared about the environment? The Nazis (hat tip to Free Dominion).

Green Party Internal Email Leak Reveals Antisemitism

I’ve come into possession of an interesting document. It is a leaked email between Rosemary Frei, Green Party candidate in York Centre, and Daryl Vernon, a Green Party paid lackey and blogger on their official site. Before last weeks debate hosted by B’nai Brith at the Beth Emeth synagogue, Frei ran into some confusion with regards to some of her Green Party talking points.

RTWT and the update.

In a cached version of the Green Party’s website, I found this post by Ottawa-South Green candidate Qais Ghanem. The uncached version is suddenly password protected. This shows that the Green Party leadership is obviously aware of Ghanem’s opinions if they took action to try to hide them. Ghanem was recently taken to task by Small Dead Animals as was the subject of an article by Bill Curry on his being a 9/11 truther. I wonder if Elizabeth May regrets defending him given these new comments coming to light:

One quote by Ghanem I came across: People are scared in this country [the US], to say wrong is wrong because the Jewish lobby is powerful - very powerful.

Such is the left.
