Europe & Mosley

The Emmanuel Goldstein column on the UK Conservative Leadership Conference was very useful. The note about Ken Clarke's connection to Mosley was particularly interesting. Mosley called for Europe A Nation in the program of his Union Movement, started after WW II. Francis Parker Yockey [author of the infamous racist tome, Imperium] briefly worked in the European Contact Section of the Union Movement, because he shared Mosley's idea of European unity.

In [Spotlight publisher] Willis Carto's introduction to Imperium, he mentions that Yockey was way ahead of his time in calling for European unity. Today, Europe a Nation is a central plank of the Yockeyite European Liberation Front.

Game-Playing Critter

So our President has been living in blissful ignorance of the size of our nuclear arsenal. How touching. How pathetic! He is apparently either a complete buffoon and totally unaware of what has been going on in America or worse, he is playing upon the foolishness of Americans who live for the instant, the past having blown past us while engrossed in our favorite TV program. Since I am quite aware of the nuclear stockpile, and I am nobody at all - I'm supposed to believe Bush, who is president, knows less than me on this issue?

The real question here is obvious - what is that slimy critter trying to pull? The only thing I'm sure of is that he is playing a game, and that we, the citizens, will lose.

The Balkans & Empire

Once again, we are siding with narco-terrorists of Albanian origin in the Balkans. …Our actions have assured decades of ongoing conflict with many innocents paying the ultimate price for our empire and hegemony. History is strewn with the remains of empires. It is a fact, borne out by history, that no empire can be maintained. Our repeated forays in the world for empire and hegemony will, ultimately, place us in the historical list of those that attempted, failed and became second-rate as a consequence.
