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. 

 

 

Geert Wilders spells out out at the conference for Freedom in Europe

(The one thing that needs to be added to the usual disclaimer on anti-Islam views, is that yes, this is about the ideology not the people, but, the more adherent a person is to the ideology, the more of a social problem they will most certainly be.)

The Guardian, a great example of “fake news”

Posted on by

Check out the headline on Fake news purveyor, The Guardian concerning the Geert Wilders verdict:

Did a court find Geert guilty on a criminal charge? Yes.

But the whole thing adds up to a Soviet style approach to reality.

The real headline should read, “Dutch Courts criminalize non-Marxist opposition views on immigration”.

Geert did not say anything that the leader of an opposition party is not obligated to say by his job description. If the vast majority of your antisocial behaviour problems are coming from Muslim illegals from Morocco, or even legal ones, the smart thing to do is bring in less of them. And that is exactly verbatim what he said.

And calling Geert Wilders far right to equate him the with National Socialist Workers Party of 1930s Germany, is a cheap rhetorical trick at best.

But really its outright dishonest. Even if you were to call him “far right wing” because like we at this site, believe in small government, maximum individual rights and responsibilities, and ending many of the institutions which are now state sponsored, like schools, it would still be wrong.

And they didn’t mean it that way anyway.

Geert Wilders believes homosexuals and Jewish people ought to be able to walk Dutch streets free of the current real danger of being attacked by Muslims, determined to turn Holland into a sharia compliant state.

That is the definition of a classical liberal. And in terms of state run institutions, he is pretty much far left, believing that the government should pay for most services from cradle to grave. Only he feels that this should apply to honest hard working people who have actually paid into the Dutch system via taxes or the truly disabled.

Not every thug that manages to trick their way into the country.

The Guardian uses a process that many who escaped from behind the Iron Curtain in then bad old days of the Soviet Union will remember from their fake news. Guilty of thought crimes. Telling truths that are not allowed.

And so now we have another data point for what is fake news.

As an afterthought, Babs points out that The Guardian does not allow comments on this article. There are usually only two reasons for this, which boil down to one.

The expected result will be something the paper does not want others to see.

PVV condemns actions of labeling Sharia police in the Netherlands

Press release from the Rt. Hon. Geert Wilders MP

PVV condemns actions of labeling Sharia police in the Netherlands

In the Netherlands, the BDS movement has raided shops where Israeli products are on sale. “France has already banned this movement. In our country, however, it can freely commit such anti-Semitic actions,” says PVV MP Raymond de Roon. “We want the government to distance itself from these utterly disgusting actions.”

Parliamentary questions by Mr De Roon and Mr Wilders (both PVV) to the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the labeling of Israeli products:

1.) How do you assess the actions of the labeling Sharia police in Dutch shops (*)?

2.) Do you agree with us that this action is an indication of anti-Semitism?

3.) Do you agree that this action does not bring peace in Israel any closer?

4.) Will you distance yourself from this anti-Semitic action?

5.) Is the government prepared to ignore, like other European countries, the European Commission’s “interpretative notice” (**), which will hamper the labeling of Israeli products from Judea and Samaria?
