THE FRENCH ELECTION: THE WHITE PILL VERSION

Audio version available here.

by Colin Liddell

I like to stick to my predictions. Otherwise what's the point of making them? So, when I said Marine Le Pen would win the French Presidential Election some weeks ago, I stuck to my guns, even as the polls continued to show a massive gap.

This was because all the ingredients of a Le Pen win were there, and continued to be there —and still are!—while all that could be said for Macron is that he is a belated French version of Tony Blair and Barack Obama. My mistake was believing in French cynicism. I was disappointed to find that they were not cynical enough to see through such an obvious ploy. In future I will be more cynical about French cynicism.

REFLECTIONS ON THE FRENCH ELECTION: THE FLIP SIDE OF THE "POZ"

by Andy Nowicki

Marine Le Pen's loss in the French election, while expected and predictable, has nevertheless provoked an avalanche of unseemly (but also sadly predictable) social media "sperging out" amongst nationalist-minded West-defenders opposed to globalism and mass Third World immigration.

Comments on Facebook and Twitter range from the despairingly "black-pilled" ("France is over," "France is cucked,") to the forlornly resigned ("So long France, it was nice while it lasted"), to the openly angry ("Fuck you, France!") to the humorously ironic ("France surrenders again!" "Can we have our freedom fries back?")

MARINE LE PEN: STORMING THE GLOBALIST BASTILLE

A tale of two campaigns: the People vs. the Press.

by Richard Wolstencroft

The storming of the Bastille was rumoured to have been started by a prisoner, the notorious Marquis De Sade, screaming down to the crowds below that they were murdering prisoners. This libertarian prank turned into The French Revolution.

It is in this grand tradition that I, the former proprietor of the almost equally notorious Hellfire Club down under, entreat you, in a De Sadean manner, to STORM the Bastille of Globalist EU Europe. Down with Brussels and those Eurocrat fiends. Marine Le Pen could well be the battering ram in this noble endeavour.

ALAIN DE BENOIST ON THE FRENCH ELECTION

French New Right thinker and "intellectual godfather of the Alt-Right," Alain de Benoist recently gave an interview to the Breton nationalist website Breizh-info.com. He was asked him his reactions to the first round of the French Presidential election, which saw the field narrowed down to civic nationalist Marine Le Pen and the "candidate of the broken system" Emmanuel Macron. The translation was done using online translation with common sense correction.

THE DEATH OF FRANCE

After the second round of the French regional elections and the cynical way the Front National was excluded from power, it is time to re-run this article, which was originally published at the time of the French Presidential elections in May 2012. In the first round of that election Marine Le Pen managed to poll 17.9% of the vote and failed to make it into the second round.

by Colin Liddell

The trouble with European politics is that the so-called “extreme” parties are not really extreme enough. This is especially clear from the case of France, where the comparatively mild policies of the Front National have been described throughout the campaign as “extreme” and “far right-wing.”

Like most people, I am not a fan of extremism. But we live in an era when extreme things are happening all around us, so to act with conventional moderation is the equivalent of turning down the heating when the house is on fire.

Centuries of history, including scores of major wars, dozens of invasions and revolutions, and tens of millions slaughtered in battle, have not sufficed to change the ethnic and cultural character or France. However, mass immigration and differential birth rates threaten to do what the likes of Attila the Hun, Moslem Crusaders, English longbowmen, French Revolutionaries, and German panzers failed to do: i.e. change France in its very essence.

SYRIZA: FRIEND OR FOE

The flattery begins: Tsipras gets the Simpsons treatment.

by Jan Stadler

The election of Syriza marks a watershed moment for Europe. For the first time in modern European history, a crypto-Communist and explicitly anti-capitalist party has won a national election. A feat not even seen during the Cold War at the height of global Marxist-Leninist power.

At initial glance, most right-wingers are dismayed at the fact that Greece, which was becoming the poster child for a right-wing/nationalist re-emergence via Golden Dawn, has suffered what could be a setback.

A SHOCK POLL FROM FRANCE

Marine Le Pen, a French existentialist.

by Daniel Barge

“Only 14% of people surveyed by Ifop, a leading market research company, said that they would vote for Hollande if the presidential elections were held this week, compared to 29% for Le Pen. 26% of respondents said they would vote for former president Nicolas Sarkozy if he were to be selected as the candidate for the UMP (Union for a Popular Movement) party. Sarkozy announced his intention to challenge Hollande for the presidency in the 2017 election in September.” Newsweek

HOW THE BNP LOST TOUCH WITH BRITAIN

by Mark Collett

The big story of the European Elections has been the rise of the so called ‘far right’ across Europe. Several remarkable results saw the FN top the poll in France, the Freedom Party top the poll in Austria and the Danish People’s Party top the poll in Denmark. All of the aforementioned results are quite remarkable and all are illustrative of a larger, European-wide, anti-immigration and anti-EU sentiment.

In Britain the big story – and the big winner – was UKIP. UKIP topped the polls in nearly every region of the UK and shocked the establishment by coming first overall and ending up with 23 MEPs, making them the largest single party representing the UK in Brussels.

One of the big losers in the UK was obviously the British National Party (BNP). The BNP’s vote collapsed – they saw a drop of over 80% in raw numbers of votes. More shockingly, the BNP’s share of the vote in some regions actually fell beneath their 1999 share of the vote – essentially recording the worst ever results for the party in the European Elections.

Thanks, America!

by Colin Liddell

Love and being the United States of America means never having to say you're sorry (at least not yet). It also means being pompously and ludicrously self-righteous – a bit like someone with a toilet seat around their neck offering you advice on etiquette.

The latest clanger in this line was dropped by Chuck Hagel, the US defence (sic) secretary at a recent three-day summit held in Singapore, where he accused China of being a "destabilizing force" in the South China Sea. Yes, perhaps in that little patch of brine, but what kind of authority does America have to accuse any country of destabilizing anywhere? After all, this is a country that is currently supporting factions – or simply stirring the shit – in on-going bloodbaths in Egypt, Syria, and the Ukraine.
