It was Christmas 2009, when the Massachusetts Democrat party filled with hubris and complacency scoffed at the idea that the seat of Ted Kennedy would ever be challenged by Republicans. However, a group of patriots worked tirelessly and quietly throughout the holiday season to change the dynamic. No one saw it coming, Scott Brown won.
In 2023 another group in the Netherlands took the same quiet and deliberate approach. Again, no one saw it coming but Geert Wilders is now on track to be the next prime minister.
The Party for Freedom (PVV) won 37 seats in Parliament and now stand as the largest political force in the country.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders said Thursday that he is ready to join the next Dutch coalition government after he surged to a huge election victory that marked a stunning lurch to the far right for a nation once famed as a beacon of tolerance.
The result is sending shockwaves through Europe, where extremist nationalist ideology is putting pressure on democracies that now face the possibility of having to deal with the first far-right prime minister of the Netherlands.
“It is going to happen that the PVV is in the next Cabinet,” Wilders said, using the Dutch abbreviation for his Party for Freedom.
With nearly all votes counted, Wilders’ party was forecast to win 37 seats in the 150-seat lower house of parliament, more than double the 17 the party secured in the last election.
[…] Wilders’ election program included calls for a referendum on the Netherlands leaving the European Union, a total halt to accepting asylum-seekers and migrant pushbacks at Dutch borders.
It also advocates the “de-Islamization” of the Netherlands. He says he wants no mosques or Islamic schools in the country, although he has been milder about Islam during this election campaign than in the past.
[…] In his victory speech, Wilders said he wants to end what he called the “asylum tsunami,” referring to the migration issue that came to dominate his campaign. “The Dutch will be No. 1 again,” Wilders said. “The people must get their nation back.” (read more)

Yippeee! I love how the world is waking up a bit from its covid induced global fog.
Did y/all see this? https://www.bitchute.com/video/ICXWepv7qkc/
Excellent!
YES! I saw that!! I was giddy when I saw it. Seriously! People are stepping up to the bullies!!!
This needs to happen in cities and towns all across America. Get the CCPChina money and influences out of here.
Starting in the sewer of DC would be wonderful, unfortunately won’t happen.
That sounds like a tyranny and treason issue that was allowed to get out of hand.
Better fix that ASAP!
.
Big problem allowing foreign companies, countries, to purchase American soil. If I had my way, no non-citizen or company with non-citizen investors would be allowed to own land in the U.S. Ultimately, land and citizenship is “what” a country is. The land and its people. This is as much of an issue as “the border” is.
.
Completely agree, and I would include far left “philanthropies” like Ford Foundation and Kellogg’s. WTH is going on in Michigan?
I wonder how much money the ousted Board members were paid by China.
Great for this in Michigan. A month or so ago I was listening to local talk radio and they were talking about this Chinese battery plant. I don’t know if it’s true or not but they were saying that once the battery plant opens it would be only Chinese that would be working there. No Americans would even be permitted inside.
I figured that when the bitchute video was talking about the number of jobs created the Americans would get the construction jobs building the plant but once it was built it would be a Chinese only employer.
They better keep waking up in a hurry
It’s becoming apparent that Europe’s diversity definitely isn’t their strength

If only US liberals would wake up, but that would mean electing President Trump for his well deserved second term, and I doubt they would ever be willing to do that.
Even more difficult would them having to admit that their policies and ideologies in the “humanities” is an epic failure and creates everything they claimed they were trying to “fix”.
Not too likely to happen.
Thank you Sundance.
May the wind be behind your sails and a safe trip there and back.
Happy trails, to you,…
until we meet again.
The European cretin club is already running around trying to get enough of the minority, to pool and stand against the people’s will.
I love how the English and European press are no different, than the idiots reporting here.
Far right extremist has won! Democracy in peril.
No sympathy for any of the lot.
Conservatives do not put democracy in peril. Leftists and socialism take on that task.
The socialist nanny state is the opposite of democracy, freedom and liberty.
“Far right extremist has won! Democracy in peril.
“The result is sending shockwaves through Europe, where extremist nationalist ideology is putting pressure on democracies that now face the possibility of having to deal with the first far-right prime minister of the Netherlands.”
Is it really “extremist nationalist ideology”?
Might it not actually be “sensible nationalist ideology”?
Will he really be a “far-right” prime minister?
Don’t let the Left dictate terms on the language that’s used, folks …
Yup. There’s nothing “far right” about not wanting to be turned into a minority in your own (ancient in this case) country by a tsunami of third world gimmegrants and rapefugees who do nothing but make the country a poorer, crappier place to live.
All the while standing around scratching their heads and saying …. But, But, Dominion.
The writing is on the wall, all the wanna be tin pot dictators, and petty tyrants, had better get their affairs in order.
None the less, we are in dangerous times. The great awakening will be met with equal pushback. The amount of in your face cheating in the next election, if they even allow one to happen, will provide the answer. Will we be governed by rule of law, or ruled over by man.
I see this as an inflection point, beyond which there is no going back no matter what the outcome.
Respectfully, Helen Keller sees this as an inflection point., even our ENEMIES are making it abundantly clear, by word and deed, that THEY see it as a crucial decisive point of no return moment.
They too will “not go quietly into that good night” and they WILL raise hell, or create hell here on earth, in an attempt to cling to power.
And we must meet their resolve, will and Unity of purpose with equal or superior will and Unity of purpose.
Its gonna be intense…
5 Corporations own the Main Stream Media, aka #EneMedia, and are the willing and complicit mouthpiece and propagandists for the cause. Yes, they are willing conspirators in the fraud, and in the USA (and other areas) treason and a coup.
Never forget these people are behind the Mass Hypnosis, Indoctrination, and Cover-Up/Censorship of the actual facts that are not reported with their slanted “news”.
Good. I was so happy when I saw the slobs on Reddit whining about this.
I loathe that wretched place.
The man earned every bit of this victory.
Talk about sweat equity. Battle ready!
I am sure the establishment over there is plotting to block Wilders agenda so that “his kind will never rise again.”
Most likely that is 100% correct.
But there is hope that a tipping point will be reached where more attempts by the global elite to stifle the will of the People, will only result in more and more resistance.
What are the chances some female operative is getting ready to file charges that Wilders sexually assaulted her in 1960?
Oh, I hope so,…I REALLY hope some two door Ford makes that exact allegation…..since he wasn’t born until 1963!
“Two door Ford” ………….Brilliant, dutchman!
Dutchman I see what you did there
Happy to see any defeat of the globalist left. Every one of these wins by any anti-leftists, makes me more fearful for PDT’s personal security.
I work for a company based in the NL. I doubt any of the people I know voted for him. Or if there were any they are closet nationalists. It was a similar response when Trump won in 2016; you could hear a pin drop in the office.
People did vote for Trump. What kind of oppressive atmosphere did Democrats create that no one could admit it?
By our countries standards, Geert would be considered a moderate dem, but like our President Trump, he loves his country too much to allow what islam is doing to his country to continue.
see cartoon upthread and links in my comment at top of thread
The Overton window illustrated.
What WE have seen DEMONSTRATED, is the Overton window,..on steroids or accellerated.
PDJT makes the point, campaigning on “I will stop child sexual mutilation or men in womens sports,..” are just two examples of the “Overton window” being pushed rapidly beyond not just the bounds of decency, but the bounds of SANITY.
Hoping and praying the tide is turning from Godless and depraved leadership in today’s world governments. May it be the Lord Jesus hasn’t given up on us yet. Blessings to all Treepers this Thanksgiving!
You can feel the momentum shift toward a level of resistance against globalism that we haven’t seen since Trump ran the first time and BREXIT happened.
There’s reason to be optimistic.
This is such great news!
For all these years, Geert has had a bounty on his head because of his stance against the barbarian savage invaders.
Hopefully he will be able to live his life as a free man once he’s in office.
I am with you, Seneca.
We have watched him for years and years. Labeled perjoratively as a far right misanthrope and racist, as was Enoch Powell before him in 60s Britain, his time has come because the third world has suffocated the Netherlands, at the invitation of the same Euro”elites” who lied through their teeth in order to get countries to give up all their rights and prostate themselves as servants of their totalitarian “betters”.
This is such glorious news, I would say I can hardly believe it…
But I am feeling an undercurrent of turning tides against the satanic plans of genocidal organizations we know the names of only too well. See Ireland tonight where the Irish have finally had enough of being shoved around in their own country Andy we the horrendous stabbings of a man, a woman, and three young children by an Algerian interloper. Dublin is ablaze. It really was only a matter of time before the tinder laid by European ” elites” and their obedient enforcers was lit.
As I’ve said before in comments past, God is moving, I have no doubts. The worm has turned. And it is a beautiful thing to see.
We get extensions of mercy at the moment when it seems all is lost. This will continue until the clock has reached the end and these man made systems are brought to a close.
Something I have prayed mightily for, Greg. The spiritual war is raging.
the tinder laid by European ” elites” and their obedient enforcers
… or “elites and their obedience enforcers”
Both, nim.
It seems those unelected self styled Euro “elites” aren’t much caring for the uppity leaders in member states whose veto power is doing so much to interfere with their despotic efforts to rule with ruthless dictatorial ferocity. See Hungary, for example…
They have decided to obliterate the last vestige of pretence that a European Union preserves the rights of all its populations by removing that veto power. I suspect Mr Wilders’ elevation to office has caused more than a few caviar stuffed mouths and brandy snifters in Brussels to drop.
One less obedient (or obedience) enforcer for their totalitarianism… pity…
Outstanding!!
What else can I say?

“EXTREME!!!”
The most over-used word in the Leftists’ dictionary!
What “extreme” Conservative or “extreme” right-wing means is that the “extreme Conservative” refuses to roll over and play dead, whenever the Communists bark a command!
see cartoon upthread
All they want to do is sow fear, so you vote for the comfort of their nanny state.
“extreme” is just one of their many ways of sowing fear. Call them on this negative campaign trick.
Have they nothing else to offer than the soporific nanny state prison?
It’s a worn out term, used in the pejorative, meant to illicit a visceral reaction. A form of gaslighting that now falls on deaf ears of the awakened, but eaten up by brainwashed leftists. We hears lies, they hear confirmation of everything their brainwashing has embedded deep into their psyche. I think the current pole bearers of the left has come to realize this. They push and push and still they don’t get the response they want from the right. However, they still can stir up their minions with a few tweets or MSM narrative building exercises.
Europeans aren’t shy about expressing themselves.
FVD leader Thierry Baudet talking to the media in the House of Representatives, a day after the party leader was hit on the head with an object during an election event in Groningen.
Reports on social medium X that Baudet has been taken to the hospital in Groningen. “A trauma surgeon has just treated Thierry Baudet at the UMCG. He was hit on the back of the head with a beer bottle and was also hit on the edge of his temple just next to his eye.”
According to FvD, a security guard also suffered facial injuries. The party has decided to cancel another campaign event in Zwolle tonight.

First Milei, now Geert. Wow!
When you consider these 2 were able to overcome the MSM lies AND election fraud to win by sizable margins… maybe the common man is starting to get tired of the bu!!shit?
Are there any other “far right wing tyrants” running before November 2024 that we should keep an eye out for?
Orban, already and standing strong in Hungary.
There is Bolsonaro in Brazil, the real winner of their recent “election” that was stolen from the people by electronic machines.
There was no piece of paper involved, to even allow for an audit in Brazil! The voting machines might as well have been empty boxes fitted out with a few blinking Christmas lights.
In every encouraging victory we are witnessing, note well that those countries use paper ballots. We must and can do the same. Where there is the political will, there is a way.
Of course AssPress has to frame it as a horrifying specter of intolerance. I don’t know what morons run AP but I highly doubt they want to live in a Muslim neighborhood. Press Progs are nothing if not lying, preening fools.
Do we care about being called names? I freely admit that I am intolerant… of anyone or anything that opposes my liberty, or the liberty of all people. The preeminence of liberty over life and limb is a known and established thing, made plain by the intolerance of the founders of this country. Intolerance is a good thing.
I have no tolerance, whatsoever for those who are,….intolerant.
Mussies and Commies common ground is they kill anyone who disgrees with them, and that is intolerance.
“I can NOT “live with” those who disagree with me, I can not tolerate them, so they must die.”
Isn’t that intolerance?
Have a wonderful trip Sundance!
Bigly. A way gooder term…
Everyone knows Geert and Lepen in France had lost their last attempts via fraudulent corrupt voting systems.
You can bet the stooges will soon create a situation in the Netherlands.
All Catholic countries too – at least nominally.
Unrestrained non-Western “immigration” can do that to a country.
NE is the non-Catholic Netherlands. Belgium is the Catholic Netherlands.
They were both Hapsburg until 1566, and eighty years of revolt and religious wars separated them by the end of the 80 years war [between Spain and the Dutch Republic] and the 30 years war [embroiling most of Europe], both ending by treaties in 1648.
Shouldn’t be a shock – they were taking land away in the name of climate change and to build homes for the immigrants. Now – will Ireland follow suit before they kill off all their cattle – which they are planning.
Sounds good, but he will have to prove to the public that he is not just a posturing heat source like macron in france.
There is zero correlation between Maccaroon and Wilders.
SOooo…. were there voting machines involved?
EU got rid of voting machines after a few tries, years ago. They saw how easy they were to corrupt.
One might assume a certain voting machine company just might have fire-saled their excess inventory to the US. Ya think.

Congratulations Mr Wilders you stayed the course and the wheel of common sense is turning slowly but surely.
Hoping this is the change that has begun slowly at first then all at once!
If I recall the Dutch farmers have been winning quiet victories ever since their WEF pandering PM was going to force thousands of them out of work with the green/reset agenda. The Dutch are a lot of things but stupid isn’t one of them. Europe is us being squeezed by inflation, convulsing with wholesale Islamic migration and its consequences and facing social collapse. The civilized world is reaching for their own Donald Trump. I think Wilders is that man for the Netherlands.
Now wait for Samantha Power to visit there and do some agitating for the state department and WEF Left.
They have dossiers on all these “far-right” characters, I’m sure…
I think that the world went slighty lax knowing that the US military
was there to take care of them, all the while their arrogant leftist
leaders wanted an EU to rival the US. Instead the EU leaders
betrayed all the small countries in their portfolio.
When these small countries realized what was going on in the US,
close to a Marxist takeover in our government, they know that they
better start taking care of themselves.
Dam her.
This is great news and just awesome. So happy for the Dutch. Happy Thanksgiving Sundance and Treepers!
Hopefully Wilders will be much more than the flash-in-the-pan that Scott Brown turned out to be.
Yeah, he’s a bad azzzzz.👍🏻🏆⭐️
Wilders know’s how deadly and barbaric Islam is .
Let’s hope “the far right” starts acting like it and ignites a blowtorch of righteous retribution. The kook left isn’t nearly as afraid of us as they should be.
I’ll bet the farmers are out in their fields doing the happy dance all over Holland tonight.
Milei has stolen the thunder but he appears to be a bit cray-cray. Wilders was the original fighter against Gov’t tyranny and it is on Wilders’ shoulders that guys like Milei, even Trump, to an extent, stand amongst the Vox Populi. I wish Milei well…heaven knows we can use him if he is like PDJT. But Geert deserves a lot of credit for not giving up. Well done.
.
Milei has a mouth for sure and looks like a hippie. But he’s also got quite a substantial resume in economics.
.
Yes he does. I listened to an interview (can’t recall which one) and I was quite impressed with his knowledge of various economics theorists and the seriousness in his demeanor, countenance and speech when he discussed economists. He was like another person. Economics appears to be his real focus.
As the great philosopher Austin Powers said: There’s only two things I cannot tolerate.
One, people who are not tolerant of other people.
Two, the Dutch!
15 years ago Michael Savage summed it up perfectly. Boarder’s, Language, Culture defines a country. Nothing has changed except more people realize the so called shock jock was on the money.
Yep. Human beings are social creatures. ‘Grouping’ is important.
Ik Ben Idioot…
Not all White People are stupid… but one HELLUVA lot of ’em are, that’s for damn sure…
Yep. And that’s what got us into this mess in the first place.
I’d be quite pleased with the whole Alahu Akbar lot was cast into the pit sooner rather than later.
I was censored here recently, the first and only time that I’m aware of…
For pointing out that PDJT’s amazing saudi [lower case intentional] speech went from “Cast Them Out!” to a whimper in only a couple of weeks. PDJT called on ME nations to “cast out” radical jihadists, from every corner of their society.
So, quite reasonably, there was a push to “Cast Out” the Muslim Brotherhood’s massive organization here in America. Simply label the Muslim Brotherhood and affiliates as a terrorist organization, and deal with them accordingly. Mass deportations should have been expected.
But no, keep dreaming, you’re not in the same universe. Common sense is now fround upon at the CTH?
So, I reach an odd conclusion. SD knows very well that the MB is the problem, but it’s just too extreme to mention failures to deal with the problem?
Demand more, lead, or at the very least concede, “Yeah, need to do a hell of a lot better”. Neither b#tching, complaining, nor agreeing with such, about the current state of affairs gets you … anywhere.
Lastly, a special THANK YOU to those here who have run for office, regardless of outcome. Those who have volunteered to be poll workers and other local officials who made the effort to make a meaningful difference. YOU are the heroes, we should all aspire to.
You are the real leaders taking those important steps to secure your locality. Well Done.
.
One can’t actually “cast out” something called “radical Islam” because there is no such thing. The word “radical” connotes sweeping or revolutionary change, and as an adjective, e.g. of “extremism”, usually is only apt as a modifier of an action or actor seeking to create change. Muslim terrorists are not trying to change Islam.
Saying “radical Islam” is like saying that the Pope is a “radical Catholic”.
The problem is Islam. Trump uses speech that people understand, even when the vocabulary he uses isn’t quite perfect (and he know this.) To the extent that Trump successfully got peace in the Middle East and containment, contrary to your “whimper” implication, he was very successful.
.
Love your posts outhouse. I wouldn’t demean PDJT’s speech. It’s perfect just the way it is.
On the contrary, PDJT is not “trying” to speak in a way rubes can understand. That’s a bit insulting, if you ask me. It’s not an act, and not a dumbed-down false persona for the saudi’s nor the masses to accept his campaign.
If this were true, you’d be able to find candid off-cuff examples from the 70’s-90’s where he speaks entirely different. It doesn’t exist, because he’s the blue-collar billionaire.
You, I, and everyone else knows EXACTLY what PDJT meant by “Radical Islam” and “Drive Them Out”, and to argue otherwise is insincere.
Yep, the problem is Islam, the current pope is satan’s right hand man, and there’s a failure to call out the truth for what it is.
My censored post called out the failure for what it was. It was wrapped up with the sentence: “But ISIS still felt the heat!”
Are we going to be allowed to say the truth and demand better, or are we just going along the path to censor and/or self-sensor? It’s up to each of us. You’re choice, really.
Donald John Trump is a Philosemite

The Dutch actually grew a pair?
Congratulations to Geert Wilders!
Maybe Americans can follow the Dutch? Probably not.
IMHO,..
The SAME rot has infected ALL of western society, a different iteration of the nemesis of humanity, CONmunism.
This new version, much like the old “marxism” aspires to Worldwide domination, and taking a page from old fascism, merges corporatism into its “new” mix.
As always, it infiltrates all organisations and institutions, government agencies, branches, political parties, industries, religious organisations, etc.
In ALL Countries, ALL States,..recall this newest version is called GLOBULLUSTS, as they truly lust after absolute power/authority over the entire GLOBE.
And ultimately, our battle will be WW,…4? (“cold war being WW3) as it WILL encompass much of the World before its over.
Americans are too dumbed down to see that they are becoming serfs. Winning the next election means, if it does happen, that Bidenomics is causing pain. It doesn’t mean that a great awaking has taken place. For someone who has lived eight decades the World is at a point where the future will be very painful for millions to endure. My family survived the Great Depression and knew how to survive. They were mentally fit for the struggle . Most do not have that mental fitness today and certainly not the experience necessary. Get prepared there are too many negative signs one should not ignore. 2024 will I believe start a unraveling of the financial structure of our economy.
Most Americans have the wherewithall mentally to survive what is coming.
And will certainly be pissed off at our government. And, have a
“we aren’t going to take it any more” attitude. We will band together
to get through it for most people are inherently good (at least those that
work for a living, raise their families and praise the Lord)
However, the illegals, refugees and transplant grifters who live off the
teat of our tax dollars are the ones we will have to worry about.
They will riot and create mayhem. I suspect they will band together
and rob homes for food. I wouldn’t put it past the government to
forcefully take our food and goods to assist others in the crisis.
You have left out of your summary the third group,…the “telephone sanitisers” as Douglas Adams referred to them.
The truly unessential workers, that do not produce a thing, nor provide any service, yet recieve a paycheck.
Many (not all) Govt. workers, but many in “private industry” as well.
The Depression was “hard times” and so it was a ‘winnowing’; SOME families, and some individuals were mentally fit fir the struggle, and survived and were stronger for the experience.
However, MANY families were torn apart, many individuals desimated, because they were inherently weak, mentally and spiritually weak.
And as a result, the HERD was strengthened; the depression cut the sickness out.
And, we are now experiencing a similar seperating of wheat and chaff…
Hard times make for hard men and women,…
Safe travels Sundance
Whenever I see Geert Wilders photo in the news my first reaction is always: Gee….since when has Jimmy Page entered politics?
Another election where Deep State fraud was either withdrawn or didn’t work. What’s going on?
The problem with this is that the Netherlands, like all of the EU, deals with proportional voting, rather than ‘first past the post’ like the US. So, as Wilders received 37%, which is still not the majority (50%), he must form a ‘coalition government’ with other political parties, to get past 50%. Of course, the liberal left will not go into government with Wilders, so he will need to get other parties to join his coalition, to get past the 50% mark.
Wilders didn’t get 37 percent but 37 seats out of 150, so he has almost half a majority. Traditionally the leader of the biggest party becomes Prime Minister, but anyone who can collect a coalition of 76 seats gets to rule.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. Either way, Wilders still needs to form a coalition and attempt to find other ‘like minded’ political parties….which may not be easy.
Yes. And forming a coalition is the way their governments find compromise on differing views within their way of governing, which helps keep extremists from gaining power.
It works both ways. While it may help keep extremists from gaining power (and presumably, the population would be voting from them….) it also keeps governments stagnating from doing anything constructive, as policies are watered down to appease the coalition. Wilders gained all those seats, as he is a populist, against whole scale immigration, etc. Now, look at the other parties he will have to choose from, to form his coalition…..
Worked for the Dutchies the last 12 yrs. They always wanted it both ways and thought they could. Well the chickens came home and roosted and shit everywhere and they got burnt badly. They never understood the US, guns, or freedom like we had. They are finally figuring out the price they were paying was to high.
I like the cultures of different countries
I suspect most people like the safety that used to
exist in european countries
sending them prayers for success in taking back their lives
along with all their country’s traditions that are so special
to most around the world
Mark Steyn from 2010: The absurd trial of Geert Wilders (macleans.ca):
“At a certain level, the trial of Geert Wilders for the crime of “group insult” of Islam is déjà vu all over again. For as the spokesperson for the Openbaar Ministerie put it, “It is irrelevant whether Wilders’s witnesses might prove Wilders’s observations to be correct. What’s relevant is that his observations are illegal.”
Ah, yes, in the Netherlands, as in Canada, the truth is no defence. My Dutch is a little rusty but I believe the “Openbaar Ministerie” translates in English to the Ministry for Openly Barring People. Whoops, my mistake. It’s the prosecution service of the Dutch Ministry of Justice. But it shares with Canada’s “human rights” commissions an institutional contempt for the truth.
As for “Wilders’s witnesses,” he submitted a list of 18, and the Amsterdam court rejected no fewer than 15 of them. As with Commissar MacNaughton and her troika of pseudo-judges presiding over the Maclean’s trial in British Columbia, it’s easier to make the rules up as you go along.
And in Amsterdam the eventual verdict doesn’t really matter any more than it did here. As Khurrum Awan, head sock puppet for Mohamed Elmasry, crowed to the Canadian Arab News, even though the Canadian Islamic Congress struck out in three different jurisdictions in their attempt to criminalize my writing, the suits cost this magazine (he says) two million bucks, and thereby “attained our strategic objective—to increase the cost of publishing anti-Islamic material.” Likewise, whether Mijnheer Wilders is convicted or acquitted, a lot of politicians, publishers, writers and filmmakers will get the message: steer clear of the subject of Islam unless you want your life consumed.
But at that point comparisons end. Had the CIC triumphed at our trial in Vancouver, the statutory penalty under the B.C. “Human Rights” Code would have prevented Maclean’s ever publishing anything on Islam, Europe, demography, terrorism and related issues by me or anybody of a similar disposition ever again. I personally would have been rendered legally unpublishable in Canada in perpetuity. But so what? I’m an obscure writer, and my fate is peripheral to that of the Dominion itself.
Geert Wilders, by contrast, is one of the most popular politicians in the Netherlands, and his fate is central to the future of his kingdom and his continent. He is an elected member of parliament—and, although he’s invariably labelled “far right” in news reports, how far he is depends on where you’re standing: his party came second in last year’s elections for the European Parliament, and a poll of the Dutch electorate in December found it tied for first place. Furthermore, if you read the indictment against him, you’ll see that among other things Wilders is being prosecuted for is proposing an end to “non-Western immigration” to the Netherlands: the offending remarks were made in response to a direct question as to what his party would do in its first days in office. So the Dutch state is explicitly prosecuting the political platform of the most popular opposition party in the country, and attempting to schedule the trial for its own electoral advantage. That’s the sort of thing free societies used to leave to Mobutu, Ferdinand Marcos and this week’s Generalissimo-for-Life. …
In the Low Countries, whenever anyone seeks to discuss Islam outside the very narrow bounds of multicultural political discourse, they wind up either banned (Belgium’s Vlaams Blok), forced into exile (Ayaan Hirsi Ali) or killed (Pim Fortuyn).
It’s remarkable how speedily “the most tolerant country in Europe,” in a peculiarly repellent strain of coercive appeasement, has adopted “shoot the messenger” as an all-purpose cure-all for “Islamophobia.” To some of us, the Netherlands means tulips, clogs, windmills, fingers in the dike. To others, it means marijuana cafés, long-haired soldiers, legalized hookers, fingers in the dike. But the contemporary reality is an increasingly incoherent polity where gays are bashed, uncovered women get jeered at, and you can’t do The Diary of Anne Frank as your school play lest the Gestapo walk-ons are greeted by audience cries of “She’s in the attic!” …
Strange how it always comes back to a contempt for the people. Whenever the electorate departs from the elite’s pieties, whether in the Netherlands or in Massachusetts last month, it’s because some wily demagogue like, er, Scott Brown has been playing on the impressionable hicks’ “fears and resentments.” To the statist bullies at Canada’s “Human Rights” Commissions, their powers to regulate speech are necessary to prevent hate-mongers like me tapping into the fears and resentments of the Dominion’s millions of birdbrained boobs. Yes, that would be you, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Schmoe of 22 Dufferin Gardens. Sure, you’ve voted for the Liberals every year since Expo, but c’mon, in your heart you know even you might be…susceptible…impressionable.
In the old days—divine right of kings, rule by patrician nobility—it was easier. But today’s establishment is obliged to pay at least lip service to popular sovereignty. So it has to behave more artfully. You’ll still have your vote; it’s just that the guy you wanted to give it to is on trial, and his platform’s been criminalized.
To return to where we came in, what does it mean when the Ministry of Justice proudly declares that the truth is no defence? When the law stands in explicit opposition to the truth, freeborn peoples should stand in opposition to the law. Because, as the British commentator Pat Condell says, “When the truth is no defence, there is no defence”—and what we are witnessing is a heresy trial. The good news is that the Openbaar Ministerie is doing such a grand job with its pilot program of apostasy prosecutions you’ll barely notice when sharia is formally adopted.” …….
Or not.
There will now be impetus to halt the insanity being perpetrated against Dutch farmers and the use of ag-land for other than the good of the Dutch people.
I call your attention to Daniel Greenfield’s
There is No Moderate Jihad
Daniel Greenfield, 13 Nov
Read this as written to foster expansion of ‘tribal mentality’ with the destruction of all other methods of self=governance. This requires subjection by the-few-over-the-many. Take the next step and do some research on the sociopathic mind. This is simply a soup to nuts sociopathic manifesto! Islam is a philosophy of sociopathy.
They rely on manipulating human sense of guilt. There is a background element in the claims of past sins for which atonement is required. That element is an inherent perception of guilt for ‘having more’ than someone else. It is guilt that builds on the fact that one’s beneficial position in life can be traced back hundreds of years to some atrocity by some distant forebear. This is what terrorists and those promoting “woke-thinking” manipulate people into self-immolation.
To step away from that guilt one needs perspective. Humanity has come a long way from tribal conditions ~2,500 yrs ago. Then, we relied on our limbic senses. Impulsive survival behavior for food, shelter and land resources dominated our behavior As humanity came to trade resources between tribes, negotiation became the primary skill of life success which shifted behavioral control to the wider perspective contemplated by the frontal lobes. A sense of guilt is one element of this shift that most of us with some historical learning recognize that we are not like our ancestors today. We have a far more advanced perspective of others in which the Golden Rule is primary for the majority of us. We may still feel guilty of having more than others but most do not feel guilty of a forebear’s actions 100s of years ago.
Those who are shallow thinkers and uneducated in the humane timeline seem most inclined to tribal thinking and blaming themselves and others for historic wrongs.
Russell Shorto wrote “Island at the Center of the World” documenting how NYC went from Dutch ownership to British. As part of his story he traced the beginnings of some of this evolution to English Common Law back to the first hardy individuals reclaiming land from the North Sea. Ignored by the ruling elite, they gradually created land on which Amsterdam now sits. They also created a system of rules for fair transfer of these properties. thoughtco.com/polders-and-dikes-of-the-… This was entirely independent of the elites. This thinking became the basis for Hugo Grotius’ “ thoughtco.com/polders-and-dikes-of-the-… (The Freedom of the Seas), published in 1609. The US Constitution is the latest iteration…
This process was a gradual taming of society’s tribal tendencies i.e., taming of the sociopaths of society. It is these tribal tendencies that still reside in those few who are sociopathic and see others as stepping-stones to their own advancement. Cleckley was the first to truly describe this personality in his 1941 “The Mask of Sanity”. It has been assessec that 5% of the US population has been identified as such but another 10% may have follow-along behavior. In positions of authority. the estimate of sociopaths rises to 20%+.
That Cleckley’s text came out in 1941 shows we remain early in dealing with element of society in the 2,500yr timeline. We need make this discussion part of everyday discussion to educate others how to deal with it.
Actually, more “primitive” tribal, hunter gatherer societies in all liklihood inherently DISCOURAGED Sociopaths, whereas modern “Civilisation” definetly ENCOURAGES the development and reproduction of psychpaths/sociopaths, and there IS certainly both a genetic and cultural component to their development.
