Geert Wilders suspends his campaign, but not his candidacy, for security reasons

Posted on by

For a sense of the nature of the danger facing Geert, above and beyond the usual that is, please read this post at Gates of Vienna:

Gatestone has this on the suspension of his campaign.

But assuming that the average Dutchman has an IQ worthy of a free and democratic society, Geert’s need to suspend his campaign for security reasons is in fact the best evidence for his case he could make.

It is in fact, a campaign in and of itself, given that his platform is about the danger of Islam to Western liberal democracy.

So lets hope it has the effect it deserves to have. What we have come to call, The Streisand effect.

  1. 1. Hmmmm. Any decent lawyer for Geert Wilders who could take on the present Prime Minister and his accomplices for “Attempted Murder” ? And do it BEFORE the election. As a kind of “Ersatz” Campaign?

    2. Lets hope the “Streisand Effect” does not penetrate the “security guard employment agencies”.

  2. I’m not surprised that employing a Muslim security guard with “gang” connections didn’t mean anything to anyone.

  4. What a brave man. Are we the only ones pissed off at this entire situation ?? Are the Dutch too busy ??

  5. I am thankful that the mole was discovered before he could arrange an opening for terrorists to slip through.

  6. Extrajudicial executions have something of a tradition in Holland. I followed a link at GoV to this 2008 article:

    If you’re judged too harmful to the Dutch State, Culture and/or its Business (and these three are highly intertwined), the ruthless reflex sets in and it’s game over – including, sometimes, death. Recently the world was able to witness this flaw in our character: Pim Fortuyn, “fascist” adversary of the Left and winner of the elections, was murdered in 2002; Theo van Gogh, “racist” mocker of muslims, jews and the Left, was murdered in 2004; Ayaan Hirsi Ali, “heretic” critic of the Left and of islam, was effectively banished in 2006.

    Tellingly, all four of them, if you include Wilders, used ‘Spinoza’ as their buzz word – it was his Enlightenment ideals against those of the attackers of western freedom. Fortuyn, Hirsi Ali and Wilders mainly opposed orthodox islam, Van Gogh mainly wrote against the naive fool who hands his freedom over out of laziness and decadence.

    They were not shot or deported by the State. The elite merely closed its ranks and left them alone, unprotected. In regard to the murder of van Gogh the director and staff of the Dutch Security Agency largely knew what was going on and what was about to happen (Mohammed Bouyeri, the murderer of Theo van Gogh, had even been their informant for a few months), but nevertheless decided to remain passive.

    The tragedy of the politician Geert Wilders is mainly threefold. Somehow along the line he forgot what the Dutch system of power is meant to accomplish: to protect our business; and keeping very good relationships with our Islamic partners is apparently our core business these days.

    Secondly, Wilders has never heard of “Tony’s third law”: “never underestimate the other guy’s greed!” ….Pim Fortuyn was left unprotected just at the moment when he was about to win a massive victory during the 2002 elections. I credit his political opponents with enough Machiavellian motive not to be too sad about this extremely lucky coincidence.

    Thirdly and ever so sadly, Wilders probably believes the 17th century cradle myth to be true. However, our heritage is not Spinoza and his professed freedom. Our heritage is Providence, propaganda and social control: the one who deviates will not go unpunished.…

  7. Ok so if the presidential candidate running for office can no longer campaign in holland because violence, then that is probably the last real election the people of holland are going to have for awhile, or ever. Just calling it. Also when they say violence, most of us know the media is always minimizing the real ‘feelings’ of muslims and other anti racists; Therfore we can assume its dangerous for Geert to campaign, AND dangerous for his audience to show (like trump supporters), and to dangerous to discuss Geerts election in public, say on any street corner in holland. The cherry on top? Merkel says the eu will accept 12 million more ‘refugees’.

    • I don’t think he dropped his candidacy just his campaign.

      Unless this thing is really really rigged, dropping his campaigning for a few weeks due to this threat may do more to get him elected than campaigning ever could.
