The America They Fought For?

Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another edition of Radio Renaissance.
I am Henry Wolfe, standing in again for Mr. Jared Taylor, and I am here with the bodacious Paul Kersey, the chronicler of cities and the bulwark Of the Americans.
Mr. Kersey, how are you?
Well, that's a lovely introduction.
I'm doing fantastic, Mr. Wolf.
If I may say, not only does bodacious accurately describe, I think, both of us, but I think it does describe our listeners as well.
You guys are forcing the conversation that the elite don't want to have.
We're not supposed to have.
We weren't even supposed to be an impediment to the egalitarian world order that they have
hoped to erect, the architects of which this first story we're going to talk about, unfortunately,
there is just a terrifying casualty.
But this is the type of story, Mr. Wolfe, that we're going to talk about here that I
think offers liberation for those who still hold some attachment to this perverse world
It's certainly a story you're not going to hear on the front page of the New York Times.
You're not going to read it there.
It is one of the top stories on local news, but that's where it's been confined.
It's the story of Albert Lowline, who in many ways is the idyllic American.
He is the oldest of 10 children.
He joined the National Guard when he was very young and fought in World War II.
After the war, he bought a home in Anoka, Minnesota, which is a little town not far northwest of Minneapolis, in 1945, where he and his wife were married for 60 years, and they raised six children there.
Albert loved to hunt, fish, and make maple syrup.
He was a kind of do-it-yourself guy who made wine from the grapes that he grew in his own backyard.
He was a real tinkerer in the mold of a kind of Hephaestus.
He had different gadgets lying around and he kept old parts to old machinery and things like that.
He worked for a radio company after he got out of the service, and he mostly did service on the transmitter.
So, yes, quite the tinkerer.
Well, flash forward to 2016, and Albert at the time was 95 years old.
His wife had died of cancer a couple years prior.
But he lived alone in that same house that he had bought in 1945 because he had such a strong attachment to it.
His children helped him out by bringing groceries and so on because he had little eyesight left and was hard of hearing.
It was Thanksgiving weekend and Albert had just finished celebrating with the family and his kids dropped him back off at his house.
The next day, a black man named Isaiah Thomas raided Albert's house and beat him to death with a flashlight and a clock, which he took off the mantel.
And that clock he later pawned for $22.50 before heading to the casino that night.
cents before heading to the casino that night. At the time that Isaiah Thomas
invaded the house, He was awaiting sentencing for an earlier burglary, and in fact he had had four prior burglary convictions since the time that he was a teenager.
He was about 28 years old at the time that he committed this crime.
And This crime, when you sent it to me, Mr. Kersey, was just... You know, I've done this for a while.
I compiled the American Renaissance news for a long time, and so I've seen a lot of crime stories.
But this one, it's really... It's like the guy from Gran Torino.
It's like Clannad Eastwood's character from Gran Torino is what I thought of.
Just this hard-nosed American who thought that everything should be bought American, You should repair things for yourself.
You do the right thing.
You work for your family.
You provide.
You stay rooted in one place.
You stay married to the person you initially married to.
I mean, he's just a breed of American that you can't find anymore.
And his life was extinguished for what?
For $22.50.
Yeah, this was one of those just stories that I happened to find.
I was doing a Google News search and I typed in a couple keywords.
And this story appeared, and I was like, well, why is this story appearing?
And so I looked at it, and it was, you know, here is another World War II veteran.
You probably remember, what was it?
Less than three months ago, the story of the World War II veteran who was calling for help, and the black nurse didn't care.
I think she was laughing in the video that you see this guy gasping for air.
She's actually been charged with murder, and so she has a trial coming up.
And these stories really just touch me because I think about my grandfather and the wonderful relationship I had with him and the stories of that generation.
They call it the greatest generation, obviously.
That's not true, but the thing is there is that emotional attachment you have when you hear the stories of sacrifice.
You and I don't have a war that we fought in.
We fight in more of a spiritual war, which in some ways is far... Our Great Depression is our lives.
Well, alright, Tyler Durden.
You're exactly right.
That's 100% true.
But the point is, If you had the luxury, if you had that wonderful relationship with your grandfather, or any family member who fought in World War II, and who sacrificed, as we're taught, so much, you look at that generation fondly and with reverence, and to think that there are white Americans who were being murdered in the twilight years of their life, I mean, there are a couple names that
To listeners, you might remember these stories.
Delbert Belton, or a guy by the name of Paul Molchnick.
These were also WWII white veterans who were murdered by blacks in the past five years.
I've counted about two others.
I don't have their names on me right now, but those stories, they touch me in a way that Your normal, you know, black crime porn, you kind of become desensitized to.
But this story, everything you just said about this guy's life, he had nine other siblings, he had six children, surrounded and enveloped by love his entire life, a true American.
Steve Saylor, back in a couple years ago, he did this article about Minnesota.
He was talking about what was going on with All the immigrants in the state, Governor Mark Dayton said that if you don't like what's happening in Minnesota, hey, we need better citizens.
We don't need a bunch of B-plus white citizens.
The governor actually said this, and you'd wonder what the governor, how he'd classify Mr. Lowline's life and all the wonderful contributions.
This guy who has been just a great citizen of the world, you know, at its heart, he is the ultimate definition of a citizen.
He almost didn't need to.
his life correct, correctly, positively for his community, for his family, for his people,
if we can use that word to describe him.
Who knows if he ever had a racial thought in his life, but it doesn't matter because
at the end of his life...
He almost didn't need to.
I mean, where he lived in Minnesota today, well, as of the 2010 census is 88% white,
only 5% black.
But Mr. Thomas, the fellow who murdered him, somehow lived only six blocks away.
So he was one of the few black people who lived in that small town.
The thing that also is just so stunning about this story is what we saw at the sentencing.
Correct.
Which was later, just earlier this week.
The murder happened Thanksgiving 2016, but the sentencing was this week.
And the perp had pleaded guilty to first-degree murder with intent, and so they were awaiting sentencing, and the angle that his white lawyer, Caroline Durham, decided to take.
The article in the Star Tribune says that both he and his lawyer, quote, argued that prejudice had unfairly burdened Thomas his whole life.
The article says that Thomas said, I apologize in all honesty and sincerity.
Then the article says, that was before launching into a five-minute speech about poverty and discrimination.
The article says that Thomas said Monday that his behavior was not cold-blooded, but rather an act of warm-blooded, long, deep, misplaced anger.
directed toward a man who represented other men who had victimized him and his peers."
So in other words, he basically admitted that this was a racial crime.
Correct.
That he saw Albert Heinlein as a fellow who represented whites, represented old,
racist whites who had somehow victimized him and his peers, and therefore, in his mind,
and was a proper object of that anger.
You think about a state like Minnesota.
Life Magazine did a cover story in Minnesota back in the 1970s.
Steve Saylor's mentioned it before.
Where they talked about how Minnesota was 97% white.
This is the world that Albert Lowline grew up in.
That he created this state just brimming, overflowing with social capital.
This just wonderful place.
And this is now a state where you have some of the more egregious white privilege.
seminars that are held. This is actually the state where they had those insane billboards.
You remember that a couple years ago? Yeah, with the stuff written on people's foreheads.
Checking your privilege, all this stuff. This story, Mr.
Wolf, is the logical conclusion of a generation being taught that every failure that blacks
have, that non-whites have, is the fault of white people.
And this shield of white privilege that protects white people from all the ills and all the trials and tribulations that every other race has to go through and has to endure.
And you see, unless his lawyer is simply striking a posture, you know, they are required to provide the best defense, and when your defendant is indefensible, what are you going to say?
But, you know, I can only assume that she genuinely believes this, but the article says, when given an opportunity to speak, his lawyer asked the court and those in attendance to reflect on Thomas' experience as a black man.
As though that's somehow relevant.
Mr. Wolf, that was the line that cut to the heart of just how evil a society we live in.
That this would even be brought up in a court of law.
You have a blind white guy, a 95 year old World War II veteran, a guy who was a father
to six children who wanted to stay in the same house that he raised the man that he
lived with his wife who passed away.
He could barely see.
His children would come and they'd help him out and at the end of his life all it was
worth was $22.50 because that's what Isaiah Thomas was able to pawn that clock that he
stole from Lowline's house and in the court of law they tried to rationalize the murder
by Thomas' experience as a black man, end quote, had to be reflected upon when it came
to the court's decision.
Bye.
Well, the only silver lining that you could say about this case is that the surviving family members did not give the Amy Beale treatment.
The treatment, Amy Beale, of course, was a woman who was do good or white, who was murdered in Africa savagely.
And her parents then went on to go and forgive all the murderers and set up a foundation and so on.
Well, Mr. Lowline's children are not interested in setting up a foundation for Isaiah Thomas and his, quote, peers.
But Ray Lowline, who is Albert's son, one of his sons, he gave a statement in court, which you could see on the Star Tribune website.
It's very moving.
But he said he basically painted this portrait of his father, who is a man who did nothing but produce and contribute his entire life.
And he said, on the other hand, you have Isaiah Thomas.
What has he done with his life?
He's done nothing but take literally his whole life.
I mean, he's got a rap sheet of burglaries going back to when he was, you know, first able to do such a thing.
and he says he calls it quote an intersection of two opposite lives and he says that thomas quote took a life and then lost the right to keep his very strong statement and then his daughter albert's daughter linda finwick she says never in a million years did we think that we had to protect dad from the scum of the earth who would kill an aging vulnerable man in his You know, when the judge handed down his sentence, District Judge Barry Sullivan, he reflected upon the crime and its effect on this community.
Mr. Lowline's murder and he said, quote, if a nice old guy like Albert Lowline isn't safe in his own
home, who is? Unquote.
Notice.
Nobody is.
And that's the thing.
That's the thing you have to realize when you read articles or you hear about different policies.
This past Saturday, the New York Times ran an editorial.
The editorial board said that we need to bring back Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, that HUD needs the Housing and Urban Development Department of the federal government needs to bring back these programs to actively place non-whites in flourishing white communities.
Correct.
That, you know, perpetuating the ghetto by keeping blacks among themselves is unacceptable and that they need to just place blacks all around communities.
And that's what Obama was planning on doing, and Ben Carson and the Trump administration have effectively put a halt on that program.
Yes they have.
The most recent budget that was passed offered no funding.
It specifically said no funding will go towards affirmatively furthering fair housing.
Very strong move.
And a very sensible move.
Because what are you really doing when you're forcibly integrating communities like this?
You're putting people like Thomas in the backyard of people like Lowline.
And what Linda Fenwick, his daughter, said is true.
You know, you shouldn't have to worry about your 95-year-old World War II vet father being murdered in his own home.
It's not something that you should have to worry about in a real country that's not at war.
And remember, Isaiah Thomas has spent his entire life marinating in a world-worthy peep.
Where the prevailing zeitgeist is anti-whiteness, 24-7, 365, in academia, in the corporate world, in the entertainment industry, and in the media, where every murder or every shooting of a black person by a white cop is somehow an indictment upon not just all police, but all white people.
We all share the same burden, which is why that quote, Mr. Wolf, where he said his murder was not cold-blooded, but rather, quote, I'm sorry, his behavior was not cold-blooded, but rather, quote, warm-blooded, long, deep misplaced anger, unquote, directed toward a man who represented other men who had victimized him and his peers.
Again, as you noted, that is a confession of a racial animus motivating this murder.
It's a confession.
And what affirmatively furthering fair housing Represents is putting people with this type of radicalized effectively radicalized I mean you could use the terminology that they use to describe Muslims who you know they get radicalized by but it's by organs of state by by Universities right by billboard campaigns.
I mean this is it's true like the New York Times editorial board is literally talking about radicalizing people teaching them all these doctrines and About white privilege, institutional racism, the only thing keeping you back is the white man.
Correct.
You know, he owes you reparations and so on.
This is the ideology that's forced on these people.
So the New York Times and their friends help radicalize these people and then they want them forced into your communities by government fiat.
And what does Thomas do here?
But he launches a jihad against white privilege, which is what he admits in a court of law.
His warm-blooded, long, deep misplaced anger directed toward, quote, a man who represented other men who had victimized him and his peers, unquote.
I mean, everything you just said is encapsulated in where this state-mandated teaching, which we're learning now, kindergartners are learning about white privilege.
You know, white students, I believe, and whites are now a minority in public schools in K-12.
I can't even imagine what it's like in kindergarten.
I'm sure whites are probably under 45% of the kindergarten population nationwide.
I mean, in a state like Connecticut, whites are only 35%.
In a state like Massachusetts, I just read, where these are states that you don't think are that heavily integrated.
In a state like Massachusetts, 35% of the K-12 Student body is non-white, and that's only going to increase.
That only means that a state like Massachusetts, a state like Connecticut, all these states are going to become majority-minority, as is the direction for a place like Maryland, New Jersey, Texas, Georgia's headed that way.
I mean, this is the future of the country.
And as you have a radicalized population that looks at the quality of life that someone like Lowline has, or other white people, The only logical explanation for the failure to attain what white people have is, it's not just envy, but it's racial hatred that has been inculcated into them.
Well, and you can't just say what lowline has, it's what lowline created.
And that's the important point to emphasize.
This is a guy who made the right moves his entire life, did the right thing every step of the way.
You know, someone like Thomas just doesn't have the patience for something like that.
He just wants it.
He just wants to take it.
And, you know, consequences be damned.
There's no future time horizon at all.
Well, he was, I mean, again, here's a World War II veteran.
The last moment of his life, after spending time with his family on Thanksgiving, he was beaten to death with a flashlight.
Yeah.
And the clock from his own mantel.
But all of this reminds me of an article, I know you've read it, that appeared, I think, in the Daily Mail a couple of years ago.
The headline was, This Isn't the Britain We Fought For, Say the Unknown Warriors of World War II.
And it talks about this author, Nicholas Pringle, who decided to send letters to local newspapers around Britain asking for those who had lived through the war to write to him with And he said the question he asked them was, you know, are you happy with how your country turned out?
What do you think your fallen comrades would have made of life in 21st century Britain?
It says he received about 150 replies, which he published in a book, uh, which I should probably get a copy of that book.
But, uh, he said what shocked him the most was the respondents vehement insistence that those who made the ultimate sacrifice in war would now be turning in their graves.
He says, um, he quotes some, some of the people, the article quotes some of the people.
It says, I sing no song for the once proud country that spawned me.
So there's a sailor who fought the Japanese in the Far East.
He says, quote, and I wonder why I ever tried.
Another person says, my patriotism has gone out the window.
And the article goes on with many other quotes to this effect.
And the article notes that the the top of the list of complaints from these veterans was immigration.
And they're seeing their country transformed and they're realizing that what did they fight for?
What did they risk their lives for if it wasn't the perpetuation of the country that they fought for at the time?
And in fact, it's just becoming another outpost in the Middle East.
And their posterity.
Yeah, it's with every mosque that goes up, which is nothing more than a forward operating base for the advancement of Islam and Saracen terror.
I mean it's it's just it's why when you watch Dunkirk as beautiful as Christopher Nolan's film is you you're just it's a dread because you're you're you wonder What would every one of those people who waited on the beach to be rescued by British civilians on their own boats?
What would they have thought as they're headed back to England from France if somehow someone said, wait, wait, wait, this is what London is going to look like in 2018.
They're going to be calling... Sadiq Khan is going to be taking your knives away from you in public.
You can't even cut your shoestring in public if you need to.
An assault weapon in England is now considered cutlery.
You can't even buy knives if you're under a certain age.
You can't even buy kitchen knives for cutting your food to eat.
This is the future you fought for.
And at the end of this very admittedly depressing story that we're telling you about Albert Lowline, Why it's so important that we continue to stress this is one of the things that we neglected to mention is that Thomas, he said that he watched people, his people, get quote, gunned down and he witnessed blacks suffer at the hands of police.
And while he's in prison, he plans to mentor fellow blacks.
So, this type of murder, which they justified as being based upon, they did the white privilege defense.
This takes me back to a murder from 2012, maybe it was 2011, when there was a white girl in Atlanta who was murdered.
I can't remember.
Her name escapes me.
I don't want to go into too many details why it escapes me, but it does deliberately.
Let's just say that.
But she was shot by a black guy who, in a court of law, said that he learned about white privilege in college, and that's why he shot.
He shot three white girls in midtown Atlanta.
One of them died.
She died.
And he tried to use the white privilege defense, saying, you know, at some point, though, we're going to get to the way things are progressing.
We're going to get to a point where a judge is going to seriously consider that.
Well, you know, we only get select dispatches from South Africa, but I wouldn't be surprised if things like that actually fly for defenses in South Africa, or certainly shorter sentencing and so on.
But on a brighter note, we do have good news for our listeners.
It's not all grim and dire.
There is Really, a broad awakening happening in the Western world.
And, you know, we've been doing this for a long time.
I've been in this for about a decade.
I've known you for almost all that time.
And I just couldn't imagine some of the things that we're seeing today happening back then.
You know, we're about to talk about the Hungarian elections, and I remember hearing about, you know, parties like Javik in Hungary, parties like the FPO in Austria, and hearing about these parties and just thinking, oh, there's no way, you know, they were like the BNP in Britain.
You hear about them and you're like, there's no way this party will ever get more than a couple percentage points.
Much less will they ever be part of the ruling coalition or, you know, an actual influential force in politics.
But now it's almost like we get news like this every week, that we're kind of like rolling our eyes and we're almost tired of winning.
And, you know, we haven't won nearly to the extent that we'll need to to make a real difference.
But there are so many positive developments happening on the national stage that we really should keep things in perspective that we are part of a broader trend moving in the right direction.
No, that's exactly right, Mr. Wolf.
We're at a point now where you need to go back two years to what happened with the electricity of the Trump campaign in this country.
Unlike Europe, which has a parliament type of government where you can have multiple parties that then form a coalition to govern, we live in a country where we have to endure the stupid and evil party.
And as we know, a lot of the promises that Trump made, yes, they haven't happened yet.
But the fact is, he made those promises, and then he won because of those promises.
And the fact that that resonated so much with white Americans, That's encouraging, because again, this is an identitarian movement that is beyond borders at this point.
That's why Mr. Taylor isn't here.
He's currently giving four different talks in Europe, and he's spreading the gospel over there.
Yeah, there have been, just to kind of remind our listeners of some of the victories that have been one that could be at least construed of as pushing things in our direction, you of course have the Brexit victory in Britain, which was widely interpreted as an anti-immigration vote.
You have in Italy, In the recent elections, the Lega Nord got 18% of the vote.
They're the strongest right-wing party there now.
They outperformed Berlusconi's Forza Italia.
They're part of a kind of center-right coalition that has together, you know, is the largest bloc the Italian government is still kind of trying to form, but Things have moved in a positive direction there.
In Sweden, the Sweden Democrats are now the third largest party.
They're making advances.
In France, we had another Le Pen make it to the runoffs in the recent elections.
And even Emmanuel Macron, who ended up besting her, he's been really quite the moderate so far.
And actually, you could even say in some ways, right wing.
He's being forced to keep whatever clout he has alive because of the breakdown of society that's happening.
I mean, remember a couple of years ago, one of those stories, almost as appalling as the story of what we just talked about with the World War II veteran being murdered by The black, the African-American, the would-be Wakandan who tried to argue white privilege is the reason he murdered him when the Catholic priest was murdered.
Almost beheaded.
And not far from Normandy.
Actually, take that back.
I believe it actually was in Normandy.
It was in a church in Normandy where this third world migrant cut the guy's head off. And you think about what those
types of stories do for shocking the apathetic into action. You think about the Bata Klan,
you think about Nice, I mean these Charlie Hebdo, I mean it's just one attack after the next.
So Macron is at least making gestures toward limiting immigration, limiting asylum seekers and so
on.
And to show you where American conservatism is headed, one of the big ordeals of this past CPAC here in Washington DC was the fact that Le Pen's granddaughter was allowed to- Marion, yeah.
Marion Le Pen was allowed to speak and she gave what can only be regarded as the most I would say explicitly identitarian speech ever given.
And of course everyone received it very well.
Everyone loved it because all the other CPAC speakers are just boring and tired and dated.
Yeah, so anyways, in Germany you have the Alternative for Deutschland, which is just new up-and-coming right-wing party challenging Merkel.
They are now the main opposition party.
And only going to keep growing.
Yep.
Only going to grow.
In Austria you have a coalition government right now ruling.
You have the Austrian People's Party.
and the supposedly far-right Freedom Party.
And they're part of, that is the governing coalition.
I mean, extremely staunch government in Austria.
And then of course you have Trump.
So things are really moving in the right direction in the Western world in many of these countries.
And I think we'd also like to point out, just to show the global scale of what's happening,
where slowly you're beginning to see some white people in government position, in positions of government power,
who are noticing what's happening.
And we have to admit what just happened in Australia, where one of the government officials
Said, yeah, we need to fast-track visas for white South Africans.
You and I have talked about this.
The mere fact that that was even mentioned, it caused a global backlash.
Not just in South Africa, where people said, okay, you guys can leave, but make sure you leave the keys to your farms.
It's ours.
Leave all your assets, leave all your valuables, just go.
But the mere fact that you were seeing such a backlash by the ruling elite, the These people who use The Economist as their sounding board or forum policy, where they're planning what they hope to see accomplished.
And that is a borderless world where white nations have only one Only one thing left for them to do, and that is to be overwhelmed and burdened with an alien thermal population that they must spend all of their dollars to accommodate.
Yep, and they need to be consumers.
But one man who is bucking that tide considerably is Viktor Orban, who it seems Every other day is making a headline by sticking his thumb in some platitude and wrecking some neoliberal, you know, would-be commissar.
And back on April 8th, his party just absolutely dominated the elections.
They won 134 seats of the 199-seat parliament.
That's two-thirds, over two-thirds.
And Jobbik, which is the party to their right, won another 25 seats.
So together, the right-wing parties have 80% of the vote in Hungary.
I mean, it's just complete domination.
And of course, this has led to outcries all around, quakes among the intelligentsia that somehow Hungary's democracy is what's wrong.
It's amazing.
If I could, there's something I said a couple years ago that Peter Brimlow said.
You need to expound upon that.
What do you mean?
What do you mean, Paul?
Paul, what do you mean?
What do you mean, Paul?
And the term I said was, when implicit whiteness becomes explicit, the world will shake.
It will shake.
It will literally shake.
And we are seeing that reaction, Mr. Wolf, when you have something like The Economist having a story that says, quote, "...fears of the country's democracies deepen."
As if what just happened in Hungary is somehow illegitimate.
It wasn't the correct form of enlightened egalitarian democracy that is entirely manifested through Emma Lazarus' poem where democracy equals open borders and caring for everybody except for The actual white population that made your country so desirable to move to in the first place.
It's funny, Alain Desbenois wrote a book that was published, well it was translated for artists, called The Problems of Democracy.
And you read it and it points out just how every government, I mean every communist government, every fascist government, Certainly every liberal government.
They always call themselves democracy.
And, you know, the democracy we live under, you could term it, you know, anarcho-tyranny.
You could term it soft totalitarianism.
You can look at it however you want.
But they seem to see Hungary's democracy as somehow problematic.
It's like, look, this is what people voted for.
And not just some people.
They had unbelievable turnout.
They had 69% of the population turned out to the polls.
This is very robust.
Turnout.
And so that is a mandate.
I mean, that is what the people want.
Compare that to the U.S.
where in the 2016 election we had only 58% turnout, and then in 2012 we had only 53% turnout.
I mean, the U.S.
has notoriously bad turnout.
We're in one of the rankings where we're like 31st out of 35 countries.
Which isn't a bad thing.
That type of... Well, it's just the idea that somehow, like, our democracy is better than this country, which by objective measures is, you know, better.
And even Even this left-wing group called the Organization for Security and Cooperation, which is a kind of NGO which rates these sorts of things, they admitted that there were no procedural problems with Hungary's election.
They said that, oh, the campaign was based on xenophobia and all this stuff, but they had to admit that, you know, quote, fundamental rights and freedoms were respected overall.
So what you have is just they're saying it's the wrong democracy because it didn't produce the results that they liked No, no, it didn't produce results.
They like it.
Of course.
We have our favorite conservative columnist at the Washington Post Jeff Bezos is you know personal blog.
Yeah, I think it's the only way to To correctly identify that newspaper, that media outlet, Rubin wrote a piece.
Jennifer Rubin.
Jennifer Rubin wrote a piece, quote, Democracy's Retreat in Europe.
And she cites a report in this screed from something called the Freedom House that describes the new illiberalism.
Of Hungary.
Of Hungary.
And of course, not to deviate too much, but I remember when I first read Dinesh D'Souza's book on illiberalism, which was actually quite good.
It's funny, he has flashes of brilliance occasionally.
Usually when he's plagiarizing Jared Taylor.
Or he's having his book, yeah exactly, in his book End of Racism, which had to be pulped because of its mischaracterization of the first American Resilience Conference, and as you noted, plagiarizing extensively from Jared Taylor.
But Rubin writes in this piece, quote, in this new illiberal environment, Citizens will be able to go to protest, establish NGOs, publish news articles, or make critical remarks on social media without risking physical assaults or long prison terms.
Such activities will expose them to intrusive government inspections and vociferous attacks in state-owned and government-aligned media, and even discrimination in employment in countries where ties to the ruling party are becoming an economic necessity.
Wow.
Now, where have I heard anything like this?
Where in the world, if you express certain political opinions, are you subjected to attacks in the media?
And are you threatened with employment?
Termination from employment?
I certainly wouldn't recognize any of these illiberal environments.
I don't know.
Well, you're of course talking about the countries that purportedly won World War II, those allied powers.
Well, the ones Miss Rubin thinks need to spread democracy around the globe.
Her form of democracy.
Right, exactly.
I mean, what she takes Hungary to fault for, you know, she didn't write those words, she's quoting them, but she totally believes them.
She's taking the fault for having, you know, for the government purportedly doing things that her institution actively take part in.
I mean, Washington Post, well, I don't want to say Washington Post does this, but certainly Huffington Post actively doxxes people.
You had the docs of Ricky Vaughn this week.
For what?
This is a guy who purposefully tried to remain anonymous, and America has a great history of anonymous political writers.
Going back to the founding, when they debated the Constitution and so on.
Yeah, John Jay and Alexander Hamilton wrote under pseudonyms for the Federalist Papers.
Of course, of course.
And that was something that, that tradition came up again when Michael Anton wrote under, was like Quentin... Publius.
Publius for, in favor of Trump.
And people do that for various reasons.
You know, they need to, maybe they just want to keep the focus on the message.
Maybe they have something personal that they want to hold back.
They don't want to take the personal flak.
But these organs, these media organs actively harm people for their political views.
And where is Ms.
Rubin going to, you know, denounce the Huffington Post for its illiberalism?
You know, look what happened July 4th, 2017, when CNN threatened to dox the teenager who put out the video of Donald Trump attacking Vince McMahon, who had CNN on its head when he body slams him and starts to throw punches.
It was an amazing video.
CNN tracks the dude down and threatens, unless he apologized, to divulge that information.
Again, that is a form of totalitarian tactics.
You know, Rubin's form of democracy, let's just be blunt what it is, it's bomb brown people and then and then allow them and invite them to come live in white
countries on the welfare goal, on the taxpayer dime. Invade the world, invade the non-white
world, invite the non-white world, to take sailors, you know, adage
to its logical conclusion.
That's exactly it.
But that's democracy.
Thankfully, that isn't the kind of democracy that Victor Orban is seeking.
He he is promising to pass these stop Soros laws potentially next month.
These laws sound really fantastic.
It's basically making it so that any NGO that is dealing with migration has to obtain a license from the government.
And the argument here is that, you know, these people are trying to bring in people who are threats to national security.
You know, we look at any Western country you want to name, and they've got people blowing things up one day or the next.
And even if the total number of casualties aren't tremendous compared to the broader population, it inflicts extreme trauma on everyone in the country.
It takes up news cycles.
It is a serious problem.
He doesn't want this for his country.
His people don't want it either because they voted for him.
He ran on this platform.
And so they say if you're going to deal with migration, you know, you need a license from the government.
And then they're also going to put a 25% tax on foreign donations to these NGOs.
I think those are very sensible policies.
I don't think the tax is high enough.
No, you're right.
You should just kick him out altogether.
Exactly.
No, I mean, it's fascinating what you just said.
Everybody wants to think that things can't get better, that we've reached the pinnacle, it's all decline, it's all downhill.
You know, forget an American renaissance, but a European renaissance is impossible.
But it takes an individual.
I'm sure you've seen that picture on social media where Orban is being arrested by communists.
Right, I have.
And I think back to a story that I heard one time about Le Pen's daughter, where she was asked, why do you fault Le Pen?
The grandfather Le Pen.
Oh yeah.
Sorry, I can't think of it.
Jean-Marie Le Pen.
Jean-Marie.
Yeah.
Where his daughter was asked, you know, how can you have the same political views as your father, this evil man?
And she said something to the effect of, I remember when the communists blew up our house.
And that always just stuck me because we never, we, you and I, matured in a world where the civil rights, the Marxist, the communist civil rights revolution won.
You know, we didn't have any say in it.
We live in its repercussions.
We live in the consequences of that revolution.
But, you know, there were very few Americans who were really harmed by this Marxist revolution that happened, the civil rights revolution, which is now being jettisoned all around the world as if, you know, somehow We all have to, you know, every black person somehow is attached to the American Civil Rights Revolution, and then they're justified in their conquest of Europe.
But my point is this.
To see those pictures of Orbán, to hear that story of Le Pen, and then to think that this is the 40th anniversary, coming up in June, of Solzhenitsyn's speech to Harvard, where he talked about the Western world lacking courage, and he shocked those You know, the intelligentsia, the elite, with this incredible speech, where he laid out the spiritual battle that the West was in.
And you have to wonder, you know, if we're going to see any reflection upon that, with it being 40 years since this wonderful speech, and what's happening in Europe, where the former nations of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Empire, that were behind the so-called Iron Curtain, we're seeing the Awakening isn't strong enough word.
I don't think, Mr. Wolf.
It's rebellion.
They're rebelling against the EU, against the people who would see them be submerged into just another, as we said earlier, outpost in the Middle East.
No, and it is so inspiring, because if you go back and you can watch Solzhenitsyn's speech on YouTube, it's translated, but when you read it, that's where the real power is.
Because it comes down to the question of, does Western man have the courage?
to perpetuate his civilization or not?
That is the question.
And we'll go ahead and close with this promising note from the Financial Times story about the Hungarian elections.
Quote, Hungary is slowly setting the agenda for the key debate about Europe's future, the question of national identity.
And we could say not just about Europe's future, but the future of the Western world.
This is the key question.
We are Generation identity.
Not the organization, but we are the people who have to determine what our identity will be going forward.
Hey, we're not fighting from tyranny, persecution, or oppression, but we're fighting seriously from annihilation.
To borrow Thomas Whitmore's speech from Independence Day.
And that's the question.
Will we be submerged?
Will we become disenfranchised as white South Africans are.
Will the Boers' plight be replicated in every white nation on the planet?
Or will we embrace our identity?
Hey, for Henry Wolfe, this is Paul Kersey.
Our time is up.
