Dutch Transnational Progressivism Alert!

The Dutch are up in arms as the Crown Prince's consort - the future Queen if there is to be one - has called the Dutch national identity into question.

The Princess' father was a Junior Minister in the Argentine junta, so the Princess is always eager to show her Leftist credentials. The Socialists were so perturbed by this marriage that they could only be pacified if the father would forgo attending his daughter's marriage: so much for national identity - pettiness would be one ethnic characteristic.

The discourse wanders in many trivial directions, except for the light in which this must be seen, namely transnational progressivism, of which the Princess and her family are typical proponents.


We had better be prepared for more assaults on national identities and nation states: delete the border!

The underlying ratio to this piece of multiculturalism is that our DNA is ninety nine point nine nine nine percent similar. On that basis how can we speak of race, or of culture, let alone of such a non-existent thing as 'national identity' which in the past has only been the cause of 'wave after wave of ethnic cleansing'. Nor are we territorial animals, or plants with roots; we are humans with boots, according to the simplistic multicultural Out of Africa ideologues. Aren't we basically all 'the same', stemming as we are from a common female ancestor?

This speech should typically trigger alarm bells in a cautious post democratic new-empires-without-emperors watch dog, like myself. I just perused the blue links, which were written only last May. It was all very much conjecture then. But in a matter of a few months the North American Union seems inevitable (!) and the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) is all but official reality.

The latter is particularly alarming as it provides the UN commission - the International Seabed Authority (ISA) -with its own source of revenue. In the cacophony of confused ideas, is the UN itself now considered to be a state? New World Order paranoids better keep close watch! Keeping you posted!

EU: Fraud in the Anti Fraud Watch Dog

You cannot make this up! Now it's allegations of fraud in the anti fraud office. But what can one expect when the foundation is rotten to the core. Read and watch this!

- EUX.TV - "Exclusive: EU fraud buster OLAF in trouble over 'Hercule' programme "- "I'd like to draw your special attention to an EUX.TV news story based on interviews Dutch MEP (whistleblower) Paul van Buitenen and with OLAF (anti fraud office) Director Nicholas Ilett, about fighting fraud in the EU, recorded on Friday." "Ilett responds to Van Buitenen's allegations, says he is misinformed, but does confirms some details of irregularities with OLAF's 'Hercule' programme.

The Commission has also confirmed to us that not all is well with OLAF's 'Hercule' programme in Cyprus. Sum is relatively small, but it does confirms Van Buitenen's is not barking up against the wrong tree.You'll also find a transcript at the end of the story. Uncut versions of both Van Buitenen and Ilett interviews can be seen on our YouTube channel.

Draft of New EU Constitution Now Available

EUX.TV: "Portuguese EU Presidency publishes draft for treaty that will replace rejected EU Constitution" -"Portugal, holding the rotating six-month presidency of the European Union, on Friday published a final draft of the treaty on the European Union that will replace the rejected European constitution. The draft will serve as a basis for further discussions in the coming weeks. Heads of state and government will meet in Lisbon in two weeks time for an informal discussion" ...

... on the Reform Treaty, which in an earlier incarnation was titled 'the EU Constitution', and was rejected by France and The Netherlands. According to the EU's own laws that should have been the end of it, weren't it for the anti Democratic mind set that is prevailing throughout the Union. If a measure is deemed necessary, it is pushed through, albeit illegally and in a new cosmetic coating. It's a insult to our intelligence, but there you are ... such is the legacy of the former European regents.

For the curious and the riotous amongst us, EUX.TV - a faithful mouthpiece - has the draft available at the site in four different languages >>>

2015: The Triumph of Evil or "What Happened?!"

These are momentous times. I fear there will be a point in the foreseeable future - say 2015 - that we'll ask ourselves, "how could we've let this happen, again!". My fear isn't based on phobia (of whatever variety), or on a vague gut feeling, female intuition or on obsessively reading the papers. It is not even based on historical parallels. Rather, my fears are the result of ice cold reasoning and analysis of the essentials.

"The Lighthouse" discusses with some intensity the intricacies of Subjectivism and its fallacies as espoused by the various branches of the Left over the centuries - including Right wing Socialism - and how these ideologies developed out of the Counter-Enlightenment movement started by Rousseau.

No matter what guise the particular variety takes, the end result is always the same: repression, followed by carnage and tragedy, born out of good intentions towards the common good. And if present developments on the world stage aren't deceiving us, the fallacy they stubbornly hang on to may come to cost us dearly once again. Since the wars of the last centuries the stakes are up and the technical means for industrial scale genocide have hugely improved.

The central philosophical con trick of all Collectivist thought (meaning: the opposite of individualism, covering the far Right (negligible in numbers), and first and foremost all of the Left of the political spectrum) is perpetrated in order to accommodate the lie, so that the ideology may survive yet another generation: it is the denial of Reality and with it, the rejection of right and wrong, good and bad.

This amorality has become a problem of Biblical proportions as adherents because of it, do not recognize Evil, even if it bit them in the behind. And because of the Left's unwillingness to concede defeat of their bankrupt ideology, the Left is also incapable of fighting Evil.

Psychologist/blogger Dr Sanity in a brilliant post "Strange Love: How they learnt to stop worrying and love the Iranian Bomb" described it like this: "Recent articles in the MSM (see here and here) suggest that the left is gearing up for an all out assault on the possibility of war with Iran. They intend to do this by using the talking point that "they can live with a nuclear Iran." ... In fact, we can translate (that) into "learning to live without Israel and the Jews". Because that is what the practical consequence of this leftist line of reasoning amounts to."

The doctor is as incisive as ever! But as the tally at present stands at 110 million victims for the whole of Counter-Enlightenment philosophies, who's to blink at a genocide more or less if it's done in the name of universal common good?! An amoral act of cowardice is better than having to fight any war, however morally justified, right?

Anybody who'd take the trouble of objectively thinking about the proposition before us, throwing momentarily aside psychopathology and the habitual ideological blinkers, would have to admit that such are the consequences of letting Iran off the nuclear hook.

But because of the central lie at the base of the ideology, they are unable to look at any given situation with anything remotely resembling objectivity. It enables them to maintain the ideology, but at the price of amorality and consequently, a blind spot for Evil.

The declaration in Subjectivist circles that God is dead has been epitomised by the proto Nazi philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche. After World War II the Left have personified Adolf Hitler as the Horned One himself, thus creating a straw man for Evil. With Hitler's demise in the Berlin bunker, Evil died with him. As a result, the Leftist dogma has become that every issue can be resolved by talk and diplomacy.

The danger of this undertaking is that they run the risk of becoming Evil themselves. Their unwillingness to even consider their error, means risking the lives of another 100 million human beings. This is no political game, or a feeble discussion about up-tight morality. Existential issues are at stake, to put it mildly.

Recently re-reading some of the works of writer C.S. Lewis I stumbled upon 'Miracles' in which he refutes the Subjectivist fallacy by yet other means than set out in the PMF. In 'Miracles' Lewis is proving why - what at the time were termed Naturalists (or Materialists, Darwinians, atheists) - cannot maintain their faith in the human capacity for reason, and simultaneously assert an evolution process through natural selection.

Today's Postmodern Left have solved the issue by saying goodbye to Truth altogether, but in Lewis' time, in the evolutionary's book - absent a Designer - there could not considered to be such a thing as Truth prior to the event of thinkers, who could make the moral distinction between right and wrong. This is the idea of Subjectivism in its full glory or, 'if I die overnight, will the sun still be rising tomorrow?', 'if planet Earth is destroyed by an attack of giant squirrels from outer space and no human is left, this cannot be considered an immoral act (as only humans can say that it is).

Naturalists explain the world in terms of an endless chain of Cause and Effect. Every event is the result of another. This excludes free will and, by extension, moral choice, good and evil. "Should anything be proven to exist independent of this Total System of Nature, then Naturalism would be in ruins", according to C.S. Lewis - while he goes on to refute the Naturalists in no uncertain terms.

This is of course Lewis, the logician and philosopher talking. But the entire Subjectivist fallacy has since been transferred to the political realm, where not logic and reason reign, but rhetoric and politicians who mold their message to conform with the public's perception, or vice versa, as the case may be. There, it has subsisted like a virus, adapting and mutating as necessary with each generation of useful dupes, giving birth to Jacobites, romanticists, nationalists (the state as God), all the Marxist derivatives, Nazis, social revolutionaries, Postmoderns, feminists, environmentalists, Socialists by the Third Way, multiculturalists, you name them. The latest mutation hides behind an anti war placard and makes common cause with terrorists and equally Subjectivist Islamists.

Back to the 'Miracles' of C.S. Lewis, caught in the spiral of Cause and Effect, Naturalists - if they were right - would not be able to arrive at Truth (even if they believed in it) through Inference, or what logicians call the method of Ground and Consequent. But in Lewis' time, even if they cannot explain how humans earned the capacity for reason through natural selection, some scientifically inclined God dis-provers did concede that in fact they arrived at Truth through Reason. Some contemporary scientists, if not called Richard Dawkins, may still do so.

If you think of humanity in terms of unreasoning apes as Darwinians do, reason is the result of a slow historical process. The grandfather of psychology, Carl Gustav Jung maintained that unified consciousness is a rather late stage in human development. We think of dissociation in terms of a mental impairment, but primitive peoples speak of their second soul, which might take up residence in an animal or a tree, becoming a parent figure or a brother.

Shamans quite literally take on the consciousness of birds, or so they claim in their subjective vision. Leftist environmentalists, New Age pagans and multiculturalists are a lot closer to reverting to Rousseau's Noble Savage than we often realize.

According to the Naturalist Jung, the development of the unification of consciousness is still a work in progress. Be that as it may, the problem with evolution is, that it does not improve our 'capacity for ideas' from one generation to the next. If we are not members of the progressive species, we improve because we learn from generations that have gone before us, but we do not attain better 'idea capacity'. If anything, the prehistoric step from nothing to fire, is much more impressive than the modern step from matches to lighters.

Let's put it yet in another way. According to Darwinism, creatures respond to stimuli: negative responses are eliminated, whereas positive responses that enhance survival of the species, are multiplied. But also this argument doesn't explain the improvement of our 'idea capacity' or our capabilities for insight.

Brain cells do not produce acts of insight. The relation between response and stimulus is utterly different from the relation between knowledge and insight (or Truth). Improvement from photo sensitivity to physical vision does not bring any closer the scientific insight into what is light. People with good eye sight do not have a better understanding of the composition of light, than myopic ones.

Naturalists can only provide an account of the evolution of reason in terms which are inconsistent with our capacity for rational thinking. Or per Lewis' vexed question: "How can Naturalists be justified in so thinking? For we know they cannot". We now know the Postmodern way out of this intellectual hole: just reject the existence of Truth, Reality and Objectivity altogether and wrap Causality in a curtain of smoke, so that nobody may be reminded to pose the vital question. But if they do, tell them it's become irrelevant at our level of development.

The price of this parlour trick is steep however, too steep. To name but a few relevant shortcomings: amorality, the scientific method shredded, and the inability to overcome Evil.

Dr Sanity in "Strange Love: How they learnt to stop worrying and love the Iranian Bomb" explains the situation on a psychological level and puts it like this (we are advised to take good note):

"In today's world, those who are truly evil know they can get away with practically any horror; and that there will always be a large cadre of dupes who are willing to rationalize, excuse, or minimise any atrocity. For all their rhetoric to the contrary, the actual beneficiaries of the "antiwar" movement are the warmongering tyrants of the world whose naked aggression remains unchecked and is always rationalised away. The only outcome in the real world of all that lovely pacifism is the triumph of evil."

"War is always a terrible choice. No reasonable person could believe that it is benign or intrinsically "good" to wage war. Yet, it is sometimes a choice that reasonable people need to make simply because evil exists in the world and it cannot go unchecked--that is, not if you truly care about innocent human life."

"If you cannot consciously tap into the aggressive side of your human nature and permit the use of aggression and even violence to serve the good; you will inevitably end up serving all that is evil in the world. Pacifists cannot deal with this simple truth."

"The left's antiwar activism is simply part of its ongoing struggle against reality. Watch for more hysterical rhetoric in the days, weeks and months to come regarding the Iranian situation. Watch especially as the new meme about being able "to live with a nuclear Iran" is pushed aggressively in the press, and as supposedly "reasonable" people piously mouth it. Don't forget when you hear them say it what they are really saying; and especially don't forget that the political left once again, is perfectly willing to sacrifice millions of people on the altar of their own narcissism and psychopathology."

"The Left's struggle with reality" is a formulation that is spot on! Not only is the Leftist ideology in a struggle for existence, but Reality also stubbornly refuses to conform to their ideology. Carl Gustav Jung is quoted as saying that some people "play a lead role in a play written by an idiot". An ideology that is based on a lie, has no meaning. Can you blame them for being cynical? They hang on to their fake, worn out ideals by their fingernails.

The cooperation of the Left with Islamism in the Unholy Alliance may well be the last chance of realising Marxist Utopia on the ashes of the revolution, an Islamic one this time. This chance lost, they've simply ran out of minorities with enough clout to enforce the issue, the aim not being the well-being of the minority in question, but real, raw power.

It is invariably interlinked with the Lie.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Moral Canary

Cacophony Redux, with only one person asking relevant questions ...

- Radio Netherlands: "Dutch parliament queries Hirsi Ali security cut" - "The Dutch Lower House has called for a written explanation from Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin on the provision of security for Ayaan Hirsi Ali. The former conservative MP has returned to the Netherlands, apparently because the government is no longer prepared to pay for her protection in the United States. ... Last year she left the Netherlands for the United States to work for the conservative think tank, the American Enterprise Institute."

- Expatica: "MPs want explanation on Hirsi Ali" - "Parliament will not be holding an emergency debate on Ayaan Hirsi Ali's return to the Netherlands but it does want a letter from the cabinet on the Ayaan Hirsi Ali's security. ... The justice department has refrained from comment thus far. ... Parliament also wants clarification on the agreements that have been made with the American authorities and with Hirsi Ali. The letter should also inform Parliament whether Hirsi Ali's security in the Netherlands is guaranteed. She is currently staying at a secret address."

- Monsters & Critics: "Islam critic Ayaan Hirsi Ali back in Netherlands" - "The former legislator for the Liberal VVD party was allegedly forced to leave the US as American authorities had refused to finance the expenses of her personal security measures. So far, the Dutch government has paid all those expenses, but after more than a year of residency in the US, the Dutch allegedly said they were no longer willing to continue this arrangement."

- Elsevier Magazine - "The Netherlands must protect Ayaan, wherever she is": author Leon de Winter: "... What would be the value of her life in terms of the minister's budget? And on what basis would he come to such an estimate? These are the relevant questions of the sort that Margaret Thatcher never posed in relation to the life of Salman Rushdie, wherever he might might have been."

The problem for open, Western, democratic society is that nobody is commenting anymore why this witch hunt is going on in the first place! That's how accustomed we've become to intimidation by a group of people who don't tolerate any vision, other than their own.

The mentality is also creeping in that it's the critics own fault for getting into trouble. Very much like: yeah, that's what you get when you enter a house on fire! Remarks made by Dutch Anti Terrorism czar, Tjibbe Joustra recently amounted to: "Since it's well known that Muslims are easily inflammable, the Dutch have only themselves to blame, should terrorist attacks occur", as if they were an Act of God!

This is blaming the victim, coupled to a refusal to hold the perpetrators responsible for their actions! This impunity in turn is undermining the rule of law and confidence in the state of justice and politics.

Society seems to be caving in, the moral compass being lost since some time. Ayaan is once again acting as the proverbial canary is the democratic coal mine.

Gates of Vienna: Europe's Racial Laws

Gates of Vienna describes a very disturbing development, emanating from the European Parliament.

After it has become a common feature in European life to beat up and arrest political opponents because they are 'just right wingers', as was to be expected in a continent that has lost its moral compass, the further imposition of racial laws are being studied.

EP's Civil Liberties Committee has drafted a report, authored by MEP Kathalijne Buitenweg (Greens/EFA, NL) which questions the impact of an already existing directive.

I am vaguely acquainted with Mrs Buitenweg, who's political profile is extreme Left wing. I am resting assured she won't rest, before all Europeans have a rubber stamp on the ID card, detailing race, religion and political affiliation.

"The Hate Preacher" on Cellulose

German English language culture site Sign and Sight reviews how in the movie "Hamburg Lessons" Romuald Karmakar uses radical reduction to reveal the Islamist mindset.

"Television images provide no answers here. They do not show how and what Islamists think. Romuald Karmakar's film "Hamburger Lektionen" (Hamburg lessons) makes this thinking visible by opting for extreme asceticism. The only thing you see in the actor Manfred Zapatka."

"Wearing a black suit and dark shirt, he reads the answers that the Imam in Hamburg's Al-Quds mosque (more) gave in 2000 in two "lessons" to questions that arose among the believers gathered in the prayer room. The only trace elements of any "acting" come when Zapatza reaches for some notes which are handed to him by a shadow or are placed on a stool next to him."

"Mohammed Fazazi's lessons were recorded anonymously on video and distributed as propaganda material. The film's script is nothing more than the German translation. Zapatka reads the text in a neutral and distanced voice, he presents it, makes it known."

"Fazazi, who came to Hamburg at the end of the nineties, was given a 30-year sentence in Morocco for abetting the suicide bombings in Casablanca. Three of the pilots responsible for 9/11 were regulars at his Hamburg mosque. There is no way of ascertaining whether they attended the lessons in 2000. But it is not ridiculous to imagine that in the dingy building in Hamburg's red-light district – twice the film shows a view of the street for a few seconds – a monstrous crime ripened that was to become a caesura in the world's history ... >>>

Cardinal Tauran: Condemn Terrorism

Catholic World News: "Vatican greets Muslims, asks cooperation for peace"

As the Islamic observance of Ramadan comes to an end, the president of the Pontifical Council for Inter-Religious Dialogue has sent a message to the world's Muslims stressing the duty of all believers to bear witness to the Almighty.

In his message, Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran says that all believers, regardless of their faith, should share in "work in favor of peace, by showing respect for the convictions of individuals and communities everywhere through freedom of religious practice. " Enlarging on that theme, he calls for "doing everything one can to reject, denounce and refuse every recourse to violence which can never be motivated by religion, since it wounds the very image of God in man."

Cardinal Tauran's message makes a special point of condemning terrorism, "which strikes blindly and claims countless innocent victims, is incapable of resolving conflicts and leads only to a deadly chain of destructive hatred, to the detriment of mankind and of societies." >>>

Politeia Supports Democracy in Burma

Now in the news:

- The Economist: "Myanmar's protests - On the brink - How Myanmar's people rose up against its regime—and the regime rose up against its people"

"There are reckoned to be 400,000 monks in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), about the same as the number of soldiers under the ruling junta's command. The soldiers have the guns. The monks have the public's support and, judging from the past fortnight's protests, the courage and determination to defy the regime.


But Myanmar's tragic recent history suggests that when an immovable junta meets unstoppable protests, much blood is spilled. In the last pro-democracy protests on this scale, in 1988, it took several rounds of massacres before the demonstrations finally subsided, leaving the regime as strong as ever. By September 27th, with a crackdown under way, and the first deaths from clashes with security forces, it seemed hard to imagine that things would be very different this time." >>>
