Danger ahead: National Action - you can ban a name but you cannot ban an idea

Danger ahead: National Action - you can ban a name but you cannot ban an idea

When in 2016 the then Home Secretary Amber Rudd decided to ban National Action and made membership of National Action a criminal offence, she didn't take into account that you can only ban names but banning names doesn't stop an idea from spreading even faster.

A few days ago, Lizzie Dearden writing for The Independent revealed that National Action factions are growing in number. So let's be clear. The then Home Secretary lacked the necessary expertise to deal with the issue and there was no one available to alert about the very serious mistake she was about to make.

After the court trials and the ban, followers of National Action simply went underground and out of sight they can become a lot more dangerous and especially when they are supported by present and former members of the British Armed Forces.

The fall from grace of mainstream political parties and the perception that the political classes have a completely different agenda that is incompatible with the expectations of the British Electorate have created an environment that is fertile ground for organisations like National Action to spread its ideas. Austerity leading to hardship condemning not just the unemployed but also those in employment to a struggle for survival creates exactly what National Action needs. People are fed up, disenfranchised, falling into the hands of loan sharks, feeling unfulfilled, forgotten and thrown aside. 

The news about bank branches closures, closure of branches of well-known retail companies, cuts affecting local schools, the failures of the Welfare State and other big items like the fall of British Steel affecting an estimated 25,000 families are exactly what National Action needs for recruiting ever more followers. There is the feeling of 'they don't care about us'. 

While the present Home Secretary Sajid Javid talks about an update of anti-terror legislation,  what we need is a better deal for families across the United Kingdom. A growing number of cases of suspected mental illness are the direct consequence of people living under enormous stress caused by financial difficulties. Repression will only make existing problems at lot worse. We need to deal with sub-employment - people at work that live in poverty.

By improving living conditions, we can improve physical and mental health, eliminating key factors that lead to extremism and terrorism. 

Britain: Identity Crisis as direct consequence of foreign policy issues

Britain: Identity Crisis as direct consequence of foreign conflicts

What is Conservatism and what is Labour? Well, political lines have been blurred to the point that the lines change one issue at a time but foreign conflicts are being played in the United Kingdom because of Jews and Muslims, both linked to lack of control of British borders and the role of private organisations with political agendas putting undue pressure on political operators and even using the Crown Prosecution Service for their own ends.

The Crisis involving Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia was imported and is now being used by both Jews and Muslims to advance their own particular agendas and Britain has been taken hostage. Time and other resources that should have been used to deal with urgent items on the national political agenda are being put aside.

Along the way came the discussion about the process of leaving the European Union and the arguments came on top of the problems created by Muslims and Jews, complicating even further an already complex political environment.

I await with impatience March 29th 2019 when the political process should start moving out of the tunnel and towards the light.

We will need to deal with the Jewish Question and the Muslim Question before the entire continent faces civil and political unrest of unimaginable consequences.

 

Why the Swastika? What is the appeal

Why the Swastika? What is the appeal?

In quite a few court cases of notoriety, it appears that the Swastika is the symbol of choice for what are fundamentally 'Lone Wolves' with intent to cause harm to those they see as anathema, as the mortal enemy.

Whatever the country where cases are brought to public attention, the symbol of National Socialist Germany that is also part of Hindu Culture is at the forefront. So what are the qualities of the symbol that seem to be so irresistible?

First of all, the Swastika is a symbol of perpetuity, of energy and of renewal. There is an inherent vast amount of energy contained in the Swastika. During the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s there were other elements added to the Swastika. Although the Swastika is black there is a preponderance of red. Both the Soviet flag, the Chinese flag and the National Socialist flag are predominantly red and red is associated with blood, with enormous vitality and this is why the National Socialist flag was such a powerful representation of a nation. There is perpetuity, renewal, energy and vitality combined.

Coming to Britain, red has always been a predominant colour. Red of England, red is the uniform of the Welsh Guards, red in the national flag, the Red Arrows, Red Roses. We are so used to this reality that we simply assume this is the way things are and we don't even stop to think about a hidden message.

Red is the colour of Revolution and whether you are talking about the concepts of Left and Right from a political point of view, the importance of Red cannot be underestimated. National Socialism was a Revolution, it was a completely new way of doing things despite the fact that there were claims about trying to restore past greatness.

One example, but not the only one example, was the military campaign leading to the invasion of France in 1940. France went to war as if it was fighting the 1914 war again. Germany used a completely new approach in which the impossible was possible. The advice given by Heinz Guderian to the commanders was something like 'Strike swiftly but don't disperse your forces'. The key elements are unity of purpose, speed and fundamentally the sense of belonging.

When a disaffected, usually frustrated individual of today, looks at his/her surroundings, what does he/she see? He/She sees a divided society, a very fragmentary reality, a world in which he/she doesn't fit in. He/She was born in a country in which the political elites and the mass media are constantly downgrading the concept of National Identity and replacing National Identity with what they call Multiculturalism. Even more, National Identity and National Pride are identified as threats, as sins, as something deplorable.

It is self-evident that such an individual will therefore turn to the symbol that represents what he/she wants most. He/She wants a national identity. He/She wants the sense of belonging. He/She wants a sense of perpetuity, of renewal, of energy and of vitality combined and the National Socialist flag represents exactly what he/she dreams about and most importantly what he/she needs most.

With varying degrees, more and more the young feel that they are being abandoned, that they don't count, that they are invisible. If your personal circumstances are such that you feel literally excluded, uneducated, jobless, and living in precarious conditions without what you would call a future, what are your available choices? 

The reaction of the Establishment is brutal. Instead of looking at specific circumstances that put individuals in very precarious situations, the State wants to punish those who have been already punished by being excluded. The individuals targeted are called Neo-Nazi, Fascist, Terrorist. The Establishment rarely or never takes responsibility for the distressing circumstances ordinary people have to face on a daily basis.

When Germans protest against occupation and destruction of Germany, they called Neo-Nazi. When French people protest against occupation and destruction of France, they are called Neo-Nazi. Anybody and anyone who stands to protect his/her country is called Neo-Nazi.

Boris Johnson: terrorists are sexually frustrated individuals.

From the mass media

Young British jihadis are pornography-obsessed, inadequate, and only turn to radical Islam when they fail to “make it with girls”, Boris Johnson has claimed.

The Mayor of London said an Mi5 probe had found that terrorists who joined Islamic State were sexually frustrated, describing them as “literally w***ers”.

I will add that those Muslims who engage in terrorism and pedophilia have homosexual tendencies. Unsure about their manhood, they prey on boys and girls and events in Rotherham where more than 1,400 youngsters were abused by predominantly Pakistani gangs is a typical example.

I suspect that the reason behind gangs of sexual predators is that individual members fail to get an erection without seeing other naked men around them. Therefore the fundamental motivation is seeing other naked men and abuses committed against boys and girls are just the excuse to be surrounded by naked men.

When they are alone, their feelings of inferiority and inadequacy are so unbearable that any kind of violence acts as a release mechanism and this is why they try to engage in activities that make them feel like something that they are not: real men.

The act of running around with guns committing atrocities and/or engaging in sexual abuses makes them feel superior. Their ideas about segregation of women and their defense of female genital mutilation are very much part of the same picture: anything that degrades others or makes somebody else suffer is the antidote against their own feelings of inferiority.
