The Future of the Netherlands



This Wednesday (March 15th) the World will watch as another country has an election to decide between survival or temporary popularity (and eventually death).

The Netherlands, like most other countries in Europe, is experiencing an Islamization of its country and has suffered the common results of mass immigration.

Geert Wilders (pictured) of the Party for Freedom is the candidate that has caused the world to be interested in these elections as he has shown to be adamantly anti EU and anti Islam. The other parties in the Netherlands represent continued mass immigration and pro "United States of Europe" or at least very pro EU.

So far Geert Wilders' party has been leading in the polls but it is known that no other political party in the Netherlands will form a coalition with his party (which shows just how empty the word democracy is) which means that even if his party wins the election, they will not be able to govern as other parties will join together making their alliance the governing party. This is because in the Netherlands there are around 28 different political parties (usually not all 28 actually get seats in Parliament) and only 150 seats in Parliament. One wonders with a system like that how anything is able to get done in Dutch government.

Even though the Party for Freedom will unlikely win enough seats to make a difference (miracles can happen though) would it save the Netherlands from destruction if they did?

Right now the two issues that threaten the survival of the Netherlands as we know it is the European Union and immigration.  If the real Netherlands is to survive at all, it needs to leave the EU and stop all immigration. So yes it might save the Netherlands for the moment.

Those two problems however are really symptoms of a sickness that unfortunately the general Dutch public don't see as a problem at all; in fact they glorify it.

This sickness is of course the deadly cancer of Leftist  Liberalism. When one is a Liberal it is natural to believe in borderless countries, celebration of diversity (which means every culture except the original culture of the nation is celebrated), globalism etc. The EU and an Islamic Holland are simply the consequences of Liberalism.

Since Holland's independence from Spain, it has fostered this Liberal attitude. Holland has simply come to the point where even Leftists realize something is wrong. Therefore if the Netherlands is to cure itself permanently of this sickness, it must not only de-Islamize itself but also de-Liberalize itself.

Geert Wilders and the PVV definitely would be capable of helping the county survive but it is certain they will do nothing to eradicate the Liberalism that is infested in the country.

Geert Wilders is what one might call a Far-right Liberal. That is he is anti Islam while still having Leftist ideology of pro LGBT and "Women's rights". This of course is a very unusual kind of Liberal but it shows there are some Liberals out there that realize the idiocy of mass immigration and the lunacy of giving up your country's sovereignty in exchange for some economic gain.

In the many youtube videos where one can hear Geert Wilders speaking English, you hear him saying things like "We are a country founded on Judeo-Christian principles" or "We must preserve the values we cherish". The problem is Judeo-Christian ethics are not compatible with LGBT rights or women's abortion rights.

One wonders however what Mr. Wilders, an apostate Catholic who calls himself an agnostic, sees so beautiful about a society comprising mostly of agnostics who feel that parents have the right to kill their child up to the age of 12 years old? Why exactly does he see the values of the modern Dutch society worth preserving when they glorify their LGBT madness and Euthanasia lunacy?

Geert Wilders and the Party for Freedom therefore are the solution for the immediate problem (Islam and the EU) and are the first step in making Holland great again. Hopefully the Dutch will accept this chance for survival and will vote overwhelmingly Party for Freedom (which would be a miracle).

If Wilders is victorious tomorrow and does what he says he'll do (ban Mosques, the Koran halt immigration and leave the EU), then the Dutch people must begin to destroy the cancer of Liberalism by perhaps starting a movement that promotes Traditional family, Christianity, Private Property, Tradition and making Parliament less powerful and the King of the Netherlands more powerful.

The war for Tradition, Family, Christianity, Property and Monarchy is not exclusive to the Netherlands though. It is the same everywhere in the West and wherever Westernization has occurred.

It is encouraging to remember nonetheless that we have had some victories such as Brexit and the Trump election which have stopped the momentum of the Left and have given us a chance to start to fight back for the values we cherish.

May the Netherlands have good success tomorrow in the election of 2017.

Traditionalists: The Hanfu Movement



The Hanfu movement, some say, started around 2003 when a man named Wang Letian (pictured) wore Traditional Han Chinese clothing called Hanfu out in public. His actions (according some Chinese media outlets) started what is called the Hanfu Movement which is a group of people that wish to see Traditional Han clothing incorporated into daily life in China. Supposedly (again according to critical media voices) the movement was brought on by popular TV shows where the protagonist travels back in time to imperial China.

In China there are 56 different ethnicities. The Han Chinese comprise of about 91% of the population making them the dominate ethnic group in China.

The other 55 ethnicities have vibrant cultural traditions whose expression is seen as a good thing in China. The Han Chinese however have become a very Westernized people and this movement has been viewed (by some of the media and the government at least) very negatively.

Though some have called the movement frivolous, the Chinese government views it as dangerous.
To make TV "safer" for the people of China, the government's television censors have issued guidelines which all but ban TV dramas from featuring time travel saying they “lack positive thoughts and meaning.” and “casually make up myths, have monstrous and weird plots, use absurd tactics, and even promote feudalism, superstition, fatalism and reincarnation.”

The People's Republic of China, being a very repressive regime, is highly sensitive to anything that might challenge it's authority. When the Communist rebels under Mao took control of the country they set about to destroy the "four olds" in China. The four olds being Old Customs, Old Culture, Old Habits and Old Ideas. The Communists in China have a deep hatred for Chinese culture which they see as backward and dangerous to the Communist mentality and are suspicious of any cultural revival.

Criticisms of the movement include the movement is "awkward time travel" or those in the movement are just showing off or trying to attract attention. Critics also say that Hanfu is impractical for modern living.

One criticism against the movement which should be addressed is that those in the movement are mixing traditional and modern clothes together which is making an "awkward time travel". For example they criticize mixing Hanfu with modern shoes or backpacks etc. They also say that it looks awkward to see people wearing Hanfu using computers or going into modern buildings.

This criticism is empty however as the goal of the movement is not to "time travel" but to make Hanfu as common as western clothes and incorporate it into modern life. What they fail to see is how after the fall of the Qing empire, China broke completely with the National styles of Chinese clothing. In other words Chinese styles did not modernize, they were completely replaced with styles that are not Chinese in the slightest. Therefore those who wish to dress "Chinese" have no choice but to go back to more ancient styles of clothing as there is no modern version of Chinese dress; it is all western. Those in the Hanfu movement simply wish to be actually "Chinese" in their dress not return to living as ancients in ancient society.

There can be no doubt that to revive Chinese identity merely in the sphere of clothing would have drastic consequences on the rest of Chinese public thought that would hasten the decline of the very un-Chinese  Communists regime. It is important to note that already it has awoken the practice of many other Traditional Customs such as archery, tea ceremonies, traditional Han weddings and other rituals. This is why the "Reds" fear this movement and have taken the first step in crushing it; by banning TV from favorably portraying life when China was actually Chinese.

The war of between Revolutionaries and Counter-Revolutionaries sees battles at every element of human life. This is because The Revolutionaries seek to "change" (or destroy) the Moral Order and Natural Law that governs the universe. The way they think they can destroy Natural Law is by making Man into something Nonhuman which they do by convincing the masses to do the exact opposite of every Natural tendency of Man.

It is for this reason that something seemingly trivial like Traditional clothes must be cherished by Traditionalists and defended to the best of our ability; after all the Communist Revolutionaries in China think it very important and they should know.

Poland: Tradition under Siege


In the Catholic West there appears to be only one stronghold left for our enemies to conquer. The other great bastions of the faith have all fallen: France, Malta, Ireland, Italy and Austria. Poland alone remains free but as we speak it is besieged by the enemies of Catholicism and Tradition.

Unlike the majority of Catholics, whose homelands have fell to the Liberal-Modernists and are now underground resistance fighters, the Polish people live in a country whose religious and temporal leaders support Tradition and the Faith. The Liberals have not forgotten Poland though and are doing everything they can to destroy her.

What we see today calls to mind the Siege of Vienna when the Ottomans besieged the temporal capital of Christendom. That time in history saw the Ottomans defeated by the Polish army and the Catholic world saved. Today it is Poland that is under siege and there seems to be no one that can save her.

The reason that Poland has withstood this modernist invasion must be credited to Communism. The Polish people understand that their identity as Poles is distinctly Catholic. They know this because the Communists attacked that aspect of Polish culture the most. Now that Poland is free the people are rightfully distrustful of everything that hates their faith.

Currently in Poland there is a very Traditional mindset. Religion is still very important to Poles, they have very strong opinions on the importance of family, they have very traditional views on morality and have a healthy nationalistic mentality.

The People of Poland also seem to recognize the danger of Muslim refugees and have expressed this on many occasions including a soccer game in 2015 where fans held a giant flag of a crusader knight blocking three ships filled with Muslims from entering (interestingly the banner also contained anti U.S. sentiment by having the boats named U.S.S ISIS, U.S.S. Bin Laden and U.S.S Husein) underneath the banner was written "Lets rise up to defend Christianity".  According to a Pew Research Center survey done in 2014: 50% of Poles that responded had an unfavorable view of Muslims compared to 32% whose views were favorable. 

Though Poland's Traditionalist mentality is still strong it is experiencing some losses. One major loss was the government caving to pro-abortion activists protesting the complete ban of abortion bill that passed in Poland's Parliament. The Polish youth also seem to be tending to have more liberal views and a wanting not to seem backward to the rest of the European Union.

Though Poland has suffered some losses She has also had some great victories with the Catholic Bishops declaring Christ to be the King of Poland (with the Prime Ministers approval) and their refusal to take immigrants into their dioceses.

The current position of Poland seems far from hopeless with the Polish tending to see the madness that the West is advancing but the danger is still real with the world putting more and more pressure for Poland to abandon its Traditions.
