Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
I just got back from an inspiring trip to Eastern Europe.
I was invited to help celebrate the 101st anniversaries of the re-establishment of Lithuania and Estonia as independent nations at the end of the First World War.
In both countries, I spoke at identitarian conferences put on by nationalists who are serious about keeping their countries exactly as they are.
Unquestionably European.
I also took part in torchlight marches.
It is deeply moving to march with men and women who love their countries and understand the threats they face.
In Lithuania, the identitarian group Kryptis held an international conference the day before Independence Day.
This was the first such conference ever held in Lithuania.
The country hasn't needed conferences like that because it's overwhelmingly white.
I saw only one non-white person the whole time I was there.
But wide-awake Lithuanians know they have to fight immigration before it begins.
And that's why here I am telling them what they already know.
Don't make the mistakes we did.
The next day was the torchlight march.
These are increasingly popular expressions of European nationalism.
And the usual loonies say that they are Nazi, fascist, etc.
Well, this was only the second torchlight march for Lithuania, and last year there were only 300 people.
This year the organizers handed out 1,400 torches, and there were plenty of people marching without them.
Kryptis was delighted with the turnout.
Here is dramatic footage taken at the head of the march.
It is thrilling to march with men and women, young and old, singing patriotic songs and chanting the name of their country, Lietuva, Lietuva.
I learned one phrase in Lithuanian, Teguvoya Lietuva, which means Long Live Lithuania.
Lithuanians were delighted to hear that from an American.
The next week, I was in Estonia, which has a stronger nationalist movement.
I spoke at the third conference organized by Blue Awakening, which is the youth group of the Conservative People's Party of Estonia.
You can find all the conference talks on YouTube if you search for the word Ethnofutur and the Roman numeral 3. Here is a clip from my talk.
So, if Estonia wishes to be Estonian,
My country will oppose you.
If you wish to commit suicide, my country will hand you all the poisons you need and encourage you to drink them.
One speaker was Ruben Kellopp, who gave an excellent talk at the 2016 American Renaissance Conference.
And he's running for the Estonian Parliament as a candidate for the Conservative People's Party.
And he has a good chance of winning.
He told me that having spoken at an AMRAN conference is no obstacle to his political career.
Their conference was at a first-class hotel, and there were no demonstrators.
The next day was the torchlight parade, the sixth organized by the Conservative People's Party.
Most estimates put the marchers at 8,000, well up from the 5,000 last year.
Here's a clip from the start of the march.
Flags flying.
Marchers singing.
The banner reads Esti Est, which means for Estonia.
The banner reads Est, which means for Estonia.
As it wound through the streets, the march seemed interminable.
ACS! ACS!
ACS! ACS!
The evening ended in Freedom Square.
Freedom Square.
The march wound by a ragged band of counter-demonstrators.
Their signs were in Lithuanian, but I couldn't make out one word, all right.
Racism. Yes, even in Estonia, there are goofballs who think it's racist for Europeans to have countries of their own.
And for now, Lithuanians and Estonians have their own countries, and they are gems.
The old town of Vilnius is almost like a movie set.
It couldn't be more charming and quaint.
The same is true for Tallinn.
You can imagine Hansel and Gretel feeling right at home.
And wherever you look, white people, men and women alike, slim, handsome, well-dressed.
And Estonia has a government that seems to understand that Estonia must remain Estonian.
Imagine living in a country where an Amran conference speaker is in a competitive race for parliament with the backing of a mainstream party.
The Lithuanian government has a few squishes who think modernity means swallowing the European Union's poisons.
But the Baltic countries, all of Eastern Europe really, has a good chance of staying European.
It's truly a race against time.
Forty-five years of Soviet rule kept these countries poor, but it also spared them from the equality uber alis mentality that is destroying the West.
Will Eastern Europe be seduced by the glitz and tinsel of the West and get a pat on the head from Angela Merkel when it lets in swarms of Muslims?
Or can it leave a continent to their grandchildren that their grandparents would recognize and be proud of?
