Oh, then tell me, Sean O 'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so.
Hush, a wiggle, hush and listen, and his cheeks were all aglow.
I bear orders from the captain, get you ready quick and soon, for the bikes must be together by the rising of the moon.
By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon.
For the bikes must be together by the rising of the moon.
Oh, then tell me, Sean O 'Farrell, where the gathering is to be.
In the old spot by the river, right well known to you and me.
One more roar for signal, token whistle, out the marching tune.
For your bike up on your shoulder by the rising of the moon.
By the rising of the moon.
By the rising of the moon.
Which arrived upon your shoulder Like the rising of the moon Out from many a mud wall Cabin eyes were watching Through the night Many a man they chest was throbbing For the blessed warning light Or was passed along the valleys Like the man she's lonely crew And a thousand blades were flashing At the rising of the moon At the rising of the moon At the rising of the moon And a
thousand days were flushing out Raising all the rules It's May the 18th, 2017.
I'm Harold Covington, and this is Radio Free Northwest.
Okay, as those of you on the Northwest Revolution list will recall, we were originally scheduled to have a call-in show on May the 12th, which would most likely have comprised the bulk, if not all, of this week's episode of Radio Free Northwest if it had come about.
But it didn't.
The reasons for that basically have to do with the party's lack of professionalization, which I suppose I shouldn't bitch about since nobody else in our wee little subculture is professionalized either, with the exception of Elizabeth Carto's American Free Press, which personally I don't think counts.
There's always been a serious debate as to what degree Willis Carto and his assorted enterprises should be considered part of the movement.
Now, apparently, even the much-vaunted Richard Spencer doesn't have any kind of open office or staff or infrastructure.
His so-called National Policy Institute looks to be just a name for a one-man band like everybody else in our wee little slice of life.
Basically, nothing but net, like all of us, although Spencer does have one high-end feature of a right-wing group, which is meetings in rented motel banquet rooms, in his case with Jews and Vietnamese bar girls as guests.
At least the Northwest Front recognizes the problem of lack of professionalization, and we're trying to do something about it, as those of you on the orglet list are aware.
Now, to make a long story short, these call-in shows of ours on Radio Free Northwest sound really good to listeners who don't see the incredible degree of chaos and complexity and technical problems behind the scenes.
We're frankly lucky to have pulled any of them off over the past couple of years.
Beyond that, I won't go on.
This week's call-in was supposed to be a panel discussion on the economy of the future Northwest American Republic.
We had almost a dozen people who expressed an interest in participating.
It looked to be a pretty good session, since, along with guns, our wee little movement has always been awash with people who are convinced that they're experts on economics.
And also, there's an undercurrent of people who still aren't convinced that Nazis aren't really communists, and if we come to power, we're going to take their precious buccaneer capitalism away from them, so in the Northwest Republic, they won't be able to get filthy 1% rich through predation.
Which, in the present society, is what quote-unquote freedom actually means, in case you've ever been puzzled by the Americans' use of that term in a land which quite clearly is not free.
The freedom to accumulate wealth by exploiting and victimizing other people of all colors.
And yeah, that kind of capitalism won't be allowed in the NAR, at least ways not if I have anything to say about it, which sends a lot of people into an attack of the screaming memes.
Anyway, one of the guys who was really eager to leap headfirst into the economic tar pits was Chris from London in the UK, whom some of you will remember from Colin Cho's past.
When it turned out that we weren't able to get the call-in technology up and running, plus all the time and scheduling conflicts, Chris submitted a detailed list of economic questions he wanted to ask, and so rather than disappoint him, since we don't know how long it's going to take to get the panel discussion up and running, technically speaking, and also so that when we do, it doesn't turn into just me and Chris babbling back and forth at one another, I'll attempt to deal with those questions now.
However, before I get into those questions, I think a brief history lesson is in order just to remind you new listeners out there that our wee little movement does indeed have a history.
Quite a long and honorable one, actually.
This is from the radio show of Father Charles Coughlin in the 1930s.
If you don't know who Father Coughlin was, Google him.
He is one of those names that all of us should know.
And appropriately enough, his forte, as you will hear, was economics.
This is from 1936.
There is written in the Constitution of the United States that Congress has the right to coin, issue, and regulate the value of money.
That's good Americanism, and it's good enough for me.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Every politician today, in the Democratic or Republican ranks, who sits upon one of the thrones of the mighty, doesn't believe in that part of the Constitution.
They don't want to believe in that part of the Constitution.
They believe that the Federal Reserve Bank has the right to coin and regulate the value of money.
They're not even Americans, these so-called Democrats and Republicans.
Thank you.
And so, Mr. Roosevelt, who was very loquacious in 1933, About driving the money changers out of the temple is now bent upon another policy.
I think driving the workmen out of decent annual wages.
As I come before you today, I wish to leave this thought with you.
That at each congressional district here in Illinois, we will endorse a candidate who can rise above his party and puts patriotism first.
We may be a Democrat or a Republican or whatnot, but we're through with the sham battle of politicians, and now we're on our own.
Therefore, under your congressional district president, form your battalions, take up the shield of your defense, unsheathe the sword of your truth, and carry on in Illinois so that the communists...
on the one hand, cannot scourge us, and that the modern capitalists on the other, Okay, on to Chris's questions about the economy of the Northwest Republic.
As per usual, with almost everything on this show, I have to begin with a whole string of abstruse explanations, qualifiers, and disclaimers.
First, I have to point out that every bit of what follows is pure speculation of the if-I-were-king variety.
I almost certainly will never be king, and at the rate we're going, by the time any of this gets off the ground, I'll either be dead or in my senile feeding the ducks stage.
So, my own personal opinion in these matters isn't really all that relevant.
I say again for the umpteenth time, the actual creation of the Northwest American Republic will possibly...
Maybe even probably, bear little, if any, resemblance to my novels.
My famous gift of prophecy has already taken one major hit with the advent of Donald Trump.
Well, Trump did that to a lot of people.
The 2006 draft constitution is just that, a draft.
A basis for discussion only.
So, when the time comes, the party will have something to throw into the gap left by the departure of the American occupation.
There will be a constitutional convention.
Convened by the men and women who have offered up their blood, their sweat, their tears, and their lives to bring our new nation into being.
It is these heroes who will make the essential decisions including what kind of government and economy the Republic will have.
I may leave behind some suggestions which may or may not be complied with.
That's up to them.
They may decide to just deep-six the whole 2006 draft and drop in something completely different.
Maybe even a simple reboot of the old American Constitution with all the names changed, plus the first ten amendments, i.e.
the Bill of Rights, and basically do a full system recovery with 1789 as the restore point.
The old Constitution actually wasn't a bad way to live when it's applied to an all-white society, and if that's what the framers of the future want, so be it.
Right, on to the questions of Chris.
Question 1A.
Without foreign investments and imports of materials necessary to the running and maintenance of machines, plants, and factories, the NAR would not be able to sustain a full manufacturing economy.
How would the NAR be able to attract foreign investment and imports with a non-interest-bearing currency, except through a very limited and direct form of foreign exchange involving simple commodities?
Okay, now is this the moment for me to explain the Helmar Schacht?
No, I think we'll leave that for the time being.
I think I'll be able to tackle that and some of the other questions.
Okay, remember I lived in Rhodesia where sanctions busting was a national sport and you would be astounded what the ingenuity of white people can come up with when put to the test.
We were making about 80% of everything we needed ourselves.
Although, admittedly, petrol was rationed and things like auto parts or anything costing foreign currency was hard to get.
Can I give you a lengthy dissertation on exactly how every problem is going to be overcome, Chris?
No.
The closest 25 words or less answer I can give you is to ask you to remember this.
In the mid-21st century, the whole world is going to be coming apart at the seams.
And we will not be facing the United States or the United Nations or even China at the top of their game.
The whole world is going to be in such an unstable and uncertain state that everybody, including the Americans, are going to have beaucoup problems of their own.
And that is going to give the Northwest Republic a lot of wiggle room in a lot of areas.
Oh, did you catch the part in the last section of Freedom Sons about cross-border smuggling?
That's going to be a mighty long border between the NAR and the U.S. and Canada.
So far, neither can effectively seal their borders against millions of wogs.
In the time to come, after those regimes have been battered and corrupted and poisoned for yet another generation, will they have the economic resources and the manpower effectively to seal off every back road in rural Montana or every pathway through the woods of British Columbia?
Hell, they can't even stop individual drug smugglers these days.
How are they going to do it across a border that size?
1B.
How much foreign investment would the NAR be able to draw with only logging in fisheries as her main exports?
Uh, who told you that those are the only exports of the Pacific Northwest?
Now to start with, let's try massive agriculture.
Potatoes from Idaho, wheat from eastern Washington and Oregon, cattle and hogs and chickens.
Apples and pears and rainier cherries and every kind of non-tropical fruit.
Every vegetable that grows in the dirt.
Dairy products including the world-famous Tillamook cheese.
Some of the best beer in the world, equal in my opinion to most British brews I've tasted, and some really nice wine from vineyards in South Oregon, where the climate is now like what California used to be 70 years ago.
Not to mention some really mellow weed from our now-legal pot farms.
And regardless of what you think of marijuana, the fact is, it is a product that people want to buy.
And we grow it here.
We will have food when the rest of the world is running short.
And like the black African nations who screamed and cursed at Rhodesia and South Africa and the United Nations by day, and then at night came whining to the white man to feed them.
That food might conceivably be available at a price.
I can't say.
That won't be my call.
Then there's manufacturing.
And yes, that might be hit by sanctions.
And yes, I might be optimistic in believing that we can capture most of the manufacturing infrastructure intact and that the necessary skilled artisans and workers won't flee in terror from us nasty, wicked racists.
That's going to be a problem.
We're going to have a lot of those problems.
Which we will overcome, because we're Aryan men and we can do anything we set our minds to.
And once we do, and once we recover some approximation of our pre-revolutionary manufacturing capacity, as we will, we will be making everything from jet aircraft at Boeing and big trucks and toquilla, computers and computer parts and other electronics, shoes, clothing,
cordage, all kinds of products out of hemp, which we will use for other things than smoking, internal combustion engines that run efficiently and well on alcohol and methane, We switch from a petroleum-based energy system to
other sources.
Methane and alcohol, to begin with.
The whole wide range of Tesla energy generation possibilities.
All that hydroelectric power I just mentioned.
Now, will this be a five-star bitch to do?
Yes.
Will we do it and make ourselves energy independent?
Yes, because we have to.
We won't have a choice.
Question 1D.
A non-interest-bearing economy would have no means of securing money other than to constantly trade shares on an almost daily basis in order to secure the returns necessary to attract loans in the first place.
How can this be achieved without a stock exchange?
Okay, as you may have gathered, Chris is a direct spiritual descendant of the directors of the London South Sea Company in 1720, and he really, really wants his stock exchange.
That's an inside British history joke, by the way.
Google it.
He's got other questions here.
To A, what would the NAR replace the stock exchange with?
And to B, without a stock exchange, NAR citizens would be left to trade individually without benefits of the analysis and expertise traditionally associated with a stock exchange.
In essence, the NAR would be trading blind.
Why isn't it preferable to just better regulate the stock exchange and to limit speculation and the presence of jury within it to having no stock exchange at all?
Okie dokie, this is another if I were king of the world scenario.
Like I said, this isn't going to be my call, and all I can do is offer some opinions and advice for the Constitutional Convention to come.
Some years ago, I wrote an article entitled 14th Century Economics Lesson, which detailed the differences between what might be called the old medieval Lombard banking system and the Jewish usury banking system, and how the Jewish system finally eclipsed the productivity or results-based Lombard system.
I'm not going to go over that again, but my main objection to a stock exchange in any form, or any modern form anyway, is the same as my objection to usury banking.
Usury is a system which allows money, To generate money simply on its own, without producing anything tangible or useful, just profit without production.
Not only do ordinary citizens lose out in a situation like that, but such an economic setup produces some very bad, amoral, and ruthless people, and in the most extreme cases gives them almost limitless power over the lives of others, and yet their only talent or skill is the manipulation of pieces of paper, or nowadays computers.
Now, I understand that the stock exchange is not usury per se, but as it's now constituted, what it is is a form of gambling, a casino, and that as well produces and consumes money in huge amounts while contributing nothing tangible to the economy or to humanity.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
In theory, you're buying shares in companies that make things and perform useful services, yada, yada, yada, but that's not why people buy stock.
They buy stock either for the unearned dividends it produces or else in order to sell it for more than they paid for it and thus make a profit.
Sometimes the value of stock goes down, and bad investors or suckers lose their shirts and end up becoming depressed drunks or jumping off skyscrapers 1929 style, which makes the whole thing a form of gambling.
A game that is played to win or lose money and not to cure cancer or manufacture widgets or build space shuttles.
I have no objection to companies selling shares in order to raise operating funds and splitting up the profits to shareholders in the form of dividends so long as the company is making a profit through something that benefits the community and the nation.
Making something or performing some kind of useful and needed service.
But I think that we have had enough crashes and other stock market-related disasters in the past century to prove that the present system is dangerous and basically doesn't work as far as fulfilling its ostensible intended function of stimulating economic activity, productive economic activity.
The existing stock exchange system is a vehicle for the most massive financial depredation in history, possibly worse even than the Rothschild banking system itself.
Because stock market jiggery-pokery hurts a lot more of the little people.
Hell, there have been problems with the stock exchanges going back to that South Sea Company I mentioned back in 1720 and the Mississippi scheme in Paris at the same time when the national economies of England and France were wrecked by idiots diddling around with shares in London and shares in the first paper currency in Paris.
But that's another story.
Money makes the world go round!

Money makes the world go round!

It makes a world go wrong.
Thank you.
Good evening, comrades.
Tonight I'm going to be discussing The Plough and the Swastika, the NSDAP in Agriculture in Germany, from 1928 through 1945, by J.E. Farkeharsson.
We often think of the National Socialist movement as being peasant and farm-related.
However, in the early days of the 1920s, the party was very much urban and middle class.
But as the 1920s were on, the National Socialists began to compete with a rural people's movement, which had actually Because the National Socialists used legal means, they came across as the voice of reason.
By 1929, official National Socialist involvement in this particular competing rural people's movement had become forbidden.
Over time, the party became interested in the question of greater self-sufficiency in the matter of German agriculture.
As the party ascended to power, Richard Darr, a National Socialist eugenicist, became the Minister of Agriculture.
So the new government wanted to make agriculture more organized.
It was at first hoped that farmers could take a key role in such an effort, but...
This turned out to be not their general inclination or training, and indeed it was decided that politically reliable farmers could become honorary advisors in a series of hierarchical organizations.
Also, too, it should be noted that rural housewives would prove very active in spreading the word and for a time had a very active rural organization that eventually Hess would later absorb into the party.
Now, the effects of the Depression varied.
Depending on what farms or regions we're talking about.
But protectionism really began with the Weimar era.
There was a conservative by the name of Hugenberg, an individual who was in another one of these German People's Parties that was a competing party with National Socialism.
This individual really wanted Germany to regain It's colonial holdings that it had already lost by the 30s.
However, Dahr, who was a convinced National Socialist, tended to agree with Hitler in terms of being inclined to push eastward.
So, in general, all types of Nationalists really wanted Greater food security for Germany.
And on balance, Germany tended to import most of its fats and fodder, while it tended to produce a surplus of grains.
Now, during World War I, a hasty attempt was made to lessen the amount of livestock.
So that fodder grains could be used to feed people directly.
This approach did not account for the role that livestock played at that point as a producer of fertilizer product.
And also too, a bit later, some excess grains were discovered that could have been used to maintain The livestock.
Now, this management did lead to some shortages, and with this history fresh in mind, the Reich wanted to encourage various alternatives with an eye toward economic balance.
Economic balance was a constant issue due to rearmament and also due to a lack of foreign currency.
This led to many new meat and milk sources, as well as the cultivation of oil-bearing seeds.
Over time, more than half the consumption became domestic, and this was accomplished despite some acreage being lost to public domain, as was the case with the Audubon project.
Now, as new territories came under the political sphere of the right, Some imports also would end up coming from the Balkans.
Another matter of great concern was the question of farm inheritance.
Farmers tended to have large families and as a result farms would tend to break up.
Also too, the Weimar was criticized for allowing the creation of too many farms.
Now, the National Socialists wanted to assure that farms were neither too large and therefore resembling Marxist collectives, nor would they be too small and unworkable.
Now, interestingly, the author notes that the Poles had a similar program around this time.
The National Socialists strove to solve the problem of too many heirs by requiring a family to name a sole heir.
Very often, in practice, the typical heir was the youngest son.
But if a younger brother was not interested in farming, an elder could easily take over.
Also, too, the National Socialist legislation intended to prefer male heirs, but many traditions also recognize females as heirs.
And in cases where the head of the farm wanted a daughter to inherit land, Such cases would end up in the equivalent of probate court.
In many cases, these wishes were allowed by the court.
Really, discretion, as you can see, was allowed in this.
Give money to siblings who would not be able to inherit the land.
But under the National Socialists, the heir was asked to provide vocational training in lieu of a financial contribution.
Now, in general, in the 30s, there did tend...
to be a migration from the land.
And this even happened despite a tradition that unsuccessful individuals could return to the family farm to find lodging or possibly work.
This trend did see a reversal during World War II as agricultural workers did get more rations and they of course were able to stay safely away from targets and also they were involved in work that was important to the war effort.
Now, in addition to this, the party really wanted to make the land more desirable because they really saw the peasant as the lifeblood of the Reich.
This applied not only to the Hitler Youth, but also the League of German Girls.
They tended to be sent to farms and...
Also, too, villages were spruced up with pools and, of course, use hostels to accommodate these young people that would be spending perhaps a year on the land, doing a land year or something of that sort.
Also, too, national socialists wanted to reinforce peasant cultural identity.
Ceremonies were held for families that had been on the land for 200 years or 150 years in the case of frontier areas.
Those that did not necessarily come from farm families or those who found that they could not inherit land would sometimes place their hope in the concept of Ostland.
And this was a very Selective program.
Now, of prime concern was the idea that Germans or people of related race with large families would settle in the East.
This process was really so very selective that Often, younger families did tend to be bypassed because it was feared that they would not, if they had difficulty producing children, because again, there was really this emphasis on having a very large family.
So they really wanted large and well-established families to be settling on these farms.
Because the process was so very selective, by the end of the war, only a few families had benefited from the settlement project.
During the war, these eastern holdings tended to feed troops rather than those remaining in the interior of the Reich.
Because Dar was more of a theorist, he would eventually be replaced by Herbert Beck, who was a party member with more concrete credentials.
The author remarks that a massive move to the east would have left whole areas depopulated and also to He does note that even East German farms were not always economically viable.
But I suppose it can be noted that this whole idea of the settlement of the Ostland was never intended for...
I suppose you could say the majority.
It was really to be a settlement of racial elites.
So perhaps the author is thinking of this in overly economic terms.
This was a book that Harold sent me, and it appears to have been a library book which was weeded out of the library collection.
I suppose you might find it a fairly dry study.
So again, the title, it's a very long title, but the title is essentially The Plow and the Swastika.
It's by J.E. Farkaharson.
That appears to be quite an interesting Scottish name, apparently.
I'm not sure whether you'll be able to find this book or not, but at any rate, I hope you enjoyed this discussion.
Have a good evening and hail victory comrades.
Thank you.
Okay, back to Chris's questions.
Question 3A.
In a non-interest-bearing economy, wouldn't savers be charged fees for banking their savings, thus disincentivizing the public use of banks?
If so, then is it the intention of the NAR to only have banks for the purpose of issuing and distributing banknotes, or in other words, for the purpose of a treasury rather than that of a bank?
Okay, once again, this is just an idea of mine, which the future Constitutional Convention and the government of the Northwest American Republic may or may not decide to adopt.
Why exactly does society need more than one bank, operated by the state specifically as a protection against the kind of abuses that privately owned banks have inflicted on the people throughout their history?
You know, George Bernard Shaw once said that society has an equal duty to protect the public from both the burglar and the banker.
My view is that banking is kind of like nuclear weapons, one of those obvious limits on freedom.
We do not want private citizens keeping a tactical nuclear weapon in their garage.
No, we don't.
Is private banking something so potentially destructive as well that we have to restrict or prohibit its use by individuals?
Hell, even Zog itself makes some attempt to regulate it for all the good that's done in the past few generations.
Question 3b.
Would the NAR issue a single state currency or would any NAR citizen be able to launch and issue their own public currency independently of the state?
Uh, no.
Look.
Privately, if the people want to form co-ops, that's fine, and that will eventually probably have to be a necessary thing for economic survival during the first years after independence.
If a citizen wants to sell his cow for a handful of magic beans, that's fine.
But yes, a standard currency is one of the responsibilities of government in any country.
The condition you're describing, Chris, is called anarchy.
If that's what you want, you need to come here.
Make your life here.
Participate materially in the revolution.
Earn the right to be a key member of the Constitutional Convention and see if you can sell it to the other Founding Fathers.
Who knows?
Maybe you can sell it.
Question number four.
How would the NAR ensure a liquid economy without the power to set and control interest rates?
Okay, I admit I'm not exactly sure to what degree interest rates will affect much of anything in the kind of autarkic economy the NAR will be compelled to create by sanctions.
And that subject is so arcane that I'm on shaky ground here.
But once again, I'm detecting a common movement idea that once we win, whoever we are, be it the British National Front or our own Northwest Front or whatever, What we will end up with is a world and a social structure almost identical to what we have now, except no black and brown faces anywhere, no gabble of Spanish or Arabic, and above all, no Jews.
As I have said, maybe.
These things will be decided at the time by the people who have earned that right.
I'm just an old man playing with my computer, and Chris is just a younger man playing with his computer.
We do, however, have an economic model to follow.
From 1933 until 1945, there was the Third Reich, whose economy was actually designed to be free of both Jews and buccaneer capitalism by, honest-to-God, real bankers and economists, not guys sitting in shabby rented rooms playing with their computers.
Our own movement people down through the years have developed a whole subset of economic obsessives like I was never one of those, but I'm sure they're all going to jump in in the comments section of this one.
Question number five: How would the NAR be able to levy the revenues necessary to sustain a full-time standing army, a national education service, and a national health service, while completely severed from the outside financial system without massive long-term conscription, thereby effectively reducing the republic to a state of social serfdom almost akin to an oversized, feudal, or North Korea-style communist?
Well, for one thing, there's a little trick called balancing the budget.
And there's another little trick called not living on borrowed money and paying all your real money out in loan payments at interest.
Right now, I have two credit cards that I maintain dirt low balances on, amounting to a zero balance, and I have them as an emergency backup only.
I never actually use them for anything and will do without rather than dip into them.
They are for something like the transmission suddenly blowing out of my car or life and death emergencies.
But there was a time decades ago, back in the days when banks and financial institutions used to literally send out credit cards in the mail to total strangers, when I got caught up in the credit card cycle of borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.
And it was a real mess, which took me years to get out of, so I know something whereof I speak.
The War of Independence will act as a massive financial reset and reboot for the Northwest.
One of the measures I would be in favor of if I were king would be a massive cancellation of all debt to Jewish or government financial institutions, which I actually included in Freedom's Sons.
The primary rule for the New Republic, financially speaking, will have to be do not spend money you do not have.
Since I suspect we're going to have a bit of difficulty getting loans from the IMF, we most likely won't have any choice in the matter.
Question number six.
How would the NAR be able to afford free and universal health care and education with a large standing army without an income tax?
About a quarter of the UK's annual budget is made up of income tax and we're still struggling to keep our National Health Service afloat.
Okay, bear in mind, for the emptieth time, that the final result in the real world may not bear much resemblance to what's in the 2006 constitutional draft.
The no-income tax provision was included in there at the insistence of those who were playing with their computers at the time, and as I recall, even then, I regarded that as bordering on wishful thinking.
The trouble is, once you impose an income tax, you will need a bureaucracy to assess and collect it.
And you will need some kind of legal muscle and armed men to seize the property and wealth of those who refuse or attempt to evade payment.
And bingo, you got the goddamn IRS and the state acting as the people's master instead of their servant.
I myself have sometimes imagined a setup almost like our present system of fund appeals.
Once a year, the government can literally hold a telethon.
Explain how much money is needed and what it will be spent on and ask for voluntary contributions.
Oh, sure, there would have to be regular taxes and fees for government services, so forth and so on.
I would also toy with the idea of a poll tax in the form of one annual assessment for everybody per head or per household.
Of course, when you start calibrating that according to means, effectively you've got an income tax.
You know, prior to 1913 in the United States, There was no income tax at all, so how did they get along for the 137 years before that?
In your country, Chris, the first income tax was introduced in 1799 by William Pitt the Younger as a Napoleonic War emergency thing.
And like all taxes and government power grabs, once the emergency was over, it never went away.
Question number seven.
What taxes, duties, and other imposts would the NAR seek to levy on its citizens and imports?
Would there be a sales tax?
I don't know.
Chris, we really are plumbing the depths of crystal ball gazing here.
We have no idea on earth how or when or under what circumstances the Republic is going to come into being, only that some version of it will come into being as part of the general collapse of the United States.
Hell, for all I know, those damn left-wing loon Cascadia idiots could take over if we don't get our act together in the NF.
We don't know whether we will take over a more or less intact society, like the Irish did in 1922, or whether Seattle and Portland will be glowing nuclear waste heaps from North Korean missiles.
In Rhodesia, we used what was called statutory bodies, which amounted to selected monopolies run for a profit by the government.
These included things like Rhodesia Railways, the Coal Storage Commission that handled meatpacking and export, the Tobacco Export Board, the name of which escapes me at the moment, the National Airlines, so forth, and so on.
I've talked about those on here in the past, and I recall that we got a few people screaming socialism.
None of which matters, because all we're doing is playing with our computers here.
Question number eight.
Would there be a bond market in the NAR?
If so, then what would these bonds consist of?
No clue except to say that once again, Chris, you're falling into this very common movement fallacy, and I say fallacy not in the sense that it's morally wrong or dumb, but fallacy in the sense that it is inaccurate, i.e.
it's just not what's going to happen in the real world.
You're falling into this fallacy that after the incredible upheaval that will most likely occur during the creation of a white ethnostate, that white ethnostate will subsequently resemble something from roughly the mid-20th century, but with no black or brown faces, no Jews, and no sissy men running around in pink tutus.
In other words, a variation on the Brady Bunch fantasy.
Guys, I'm sorry.
The world that some of us were fortunate enough to catch the tag end of was a nice place.
But it's not coming again.
Not socially, not politically, not culturally, and not economically.
I'm not trying to be evasive here, but I am really hampered in answering Chris's questions by my massive ignorance as to just what the hell is going to happen in the next few years.
This Trump business here and the Brexit in your country, Chris, have kicked over the table, and all I can tell you is it's going to be a wild and crazy ride.
Question 9A.
In a time of war, how would the NAR attempt to pay for the millions of white immigrants fleeing into the homeland when it may not even be capable of feeding its own soldiers?
Okay, that would fall into an area where serious government planning would be required, because it's likely to happen.
This would have to be done in conjunction with the Northwest military.
Such a scenario would be very likely, and we have to anticipate it.
Not so much in time of war, but as the United States and Canada and the rest of the world collapses into soylent green.
Once again, I repeat something that I've stated in my Northwest novels on several occasions.
It's astounding what a nation and a government can accomplish if they have a racially homogenous white population, if they exercise thrift and careful resource management, and do not go off on wild spending sprees in an attempt to buy votes from niggers and third world foreigners.
And if they actually apply a little bit of plain common sense to the problems at hand.
Chris, I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm responding to your questions with platitudes instead of specifics, but I'm sure the aforementioned common sense tells you that my answer to the bulk of your questions in the final analysis is a plain and simple I don't know.
Question 9b.
Might not warfare become a viable industry in itself for the NAR were the United States to disintegrate into irretrievable inter-ethnic bloodshed and civil chaos, i.e.
mounting raids into California in order to sack Aztec cities for loot and booty, i.e.
renting out Northwest mercenaries to foreign powers?
You know, actually, the answer to that one, Chris, is yes.
That is a distinct possibility in the world of the future, and to be honest, if I had to sit down and pick out several possible lines of development for the Northwest Republic, I would probably pick out a scenario like that as being one of the most likely.
I personally think that some version of that is on the cards for about 50 years from now.
Question number 10. On an increasingly violent and third world globe, couldn't foreign usury and speculation be used as weapons and as an asset?
If the Talmud directs Jews to use usury on the Goyim, but never on each other, then shouldn't the citizens of the NAR pursue a similar policy?
Hmm.
Sounds like that TV series The Company where the Soviets try to bring down the U.S. through manipulating the stock market.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Question 11a.
Islamic banking is the only contemporary type of global finance that claims to be interest-free.
However, on closer inspection, one sees that Islamic banking, otherwise known as Sharia-compliant finance, does in fact sanction what we in the West would consider to be interest.
Whereas ordinary modern banking permits recurring and even exorbitant rates of interest commonly associated with the Jewish practice of usury, modern Islamic banking does indeed allow interest payments, but only in the form of pre-agreed fixed-rate markups, or murabaha, that are paid to the lender.
Additional fixed return models in Sharia finance include the concept of leasing goods, assets and services, or il-jarah, and advance payments, or salam, both of which may as well be called fixed forms of interest.
What, if any, difference is there between this Islamic loophole form of money lending and the models for servicing debt that would be made available in the Northwest American Republic?
Uh, well, for one thing, it's practiced by Semites and wogs.
Do I really have to sit here and read out that 14th century economics lesson article again?
Okay.
25 words or less answer as near as I can give it.
What you described there does sound like fig leaves to charge interest without charging interest, so to speak, but I think in these cases, if I understand what you're saying, and I have no intention of spending the next 10 hours studying them online, the fig leaf is stretched and pulled out of shape, but it holds up.
Because what you're really talking about is a pre-set and pre-agreed profit, not interest as such, and I would presume that the money is being lent for some kind of specific productive purpose, to build a factory or a pipeline or import food to Egypt or whatever.
Not for some form of speculation, i.e.
to gamble on the stock market and start millions and billions of dollars which have no real existence outside a computer network circling around and around and around like a roulette ball.
And then it falls on 22 Black and Sheikh Mohammed Hassan is now a billionaire three times over instead of just two.
The key evil of interest is that money generates money, sometimes huge amounts of it, giving great power to bad, bad people.
And yet in all this, nothing solid or concrete is produced or accomplished.
Just money, money, money, money, whirling around and around in a great tornado, magically reproducing itself until it falls down into all the wrong pockets.
Question 11b.
If the intended financial model of the NAR does indeed consist of a system of loophole interest payments based on pre-agreed fixed returns, then how will the NAR's economy sustain a sufficiently liquid state to be able to generate a significant middle class?
Uh, why do we really need or want a middle class?
Why not have a society composed of organic classes, such as the soldier, the worker, the craftsman, the entertainer or minstrel, the artist, the thinker, the engineers, the architects, an unfortunately necessary kind of political priestly and governing class in the form of the party, and women as the source of life for new generations?
Why exactly do we need the Brady Bunch?
Why do we need a society based totally on material consumption for a middle class that actually doesn't really produce much of anything compared to the other classes?
Now, let me know your ideas on that one, folks.
But for now, back to Chris.
If, for example, I take out a loan from the National Bank of the Northwest American Republic in order to build and run a log-splitting factory, i.e.
building materials, machine parts, transportation, labor, and so on, And the factory or its parts get damaged or lost or stolen before it can run at a profit, then how is the Northwest Bank's return on that factory going to be repaid without collateral?
Doesn't this system of loophole interest not only remove the disincentive of bankruptcy, but also require so much insurance on investment that the cost of lending money becomes so great that the poor aren't able to borrow at convenient cost?
Thus stunting the development of a large, propertied middle class.
Doesn't this then make borrowing a luxury affordable only to those sufficiently wealthy to employ enough surveyors and insurers to justify a fixed return loan on a non-interest-bearing economy, therefore taking us right back to the Middle Ages where only feudal landlords and rich banking houses could afford to make large-scale trade investments?
Again, Chris, you are assuming the existence and circulation of immense amounts of borrowed money.
The whole concept of capitalist economics, even an attempt to create an Aryan-friendly capitalism, is hung up on the concept of borrowing and paying interest on borrowed money.
It seems to be practically hardwired into us by now.
Remember, remember that revolutionary reset, which will almost certainly happen in some form or other at the time of the Republic's birth when pretty much all debt to the Jews is cancelled and we finally get to start over with a clean slate.
This is what modern capitalism exists on, the endless flow and harvesting and recirculation of...
Borrowed money like a closed air conditioning system that constantly recycles and cools and heats and condenses the same air over and over again.
Ideally, the Republic will find ways actually to create new wealth out of nothing, which is something we Aryans have always been damned good at down through history.
In the age of discovery, we admittedly exploited and developed the new world.
Okay, looted if you will, but we brought immense wealth into Europe that fueled all kinds of things, good and bad.
Now, maybe it will be through successful coal fusion or Tesla power or some source of clean, cheap, plentiful energy.
Maybe we'll invent the first functioning Isaac Asimov-style robots.
Maybe we'll discover and mine vast mineral wealth on the moon.
Who knows?
But one of the main economic goals of any white ethnostate must be to stop using borrowed money for every damn thing, because to borrow money puts the borrower in the power of the creditor, and that is an illegitimate form of power and can and will be terribly abused and misused.
I wonder if any of those nice folks down at the Bank of America will lend the party money to set up a white ethnostate.
What measures would the government of the Northwest American Republic Institute in order to protect the economy of the NAR from remote access and manipulation by Jews and other financial terrorists through the corruption of Northwest overseas assets and investments?
Well, Chris, we...
Do that through a highly secured administrative and financial system, denied access to the internet, except at a few necessary but heavily secured portals, and also through hunting down and shooting anybody who tries to fuck with us.
And I'm not making that statement in any humorous way at all.
The Northwest American Republic will survive, we will prosper, and we will fulfill our people's destiny.
And God help anybody who gets in our way, because you see, we will probably through the circumstances of our birth as a nation have much less compunction about using the simple, necessary application of armed force to make sure that we secure the existence of our people and the future for white children.
We will remember these past hundred years or so as a time of shame when white men did not dare to raise their hands to defend themselves.
But that's going to end, and the Northwest American Republic will have at its disposal every conceivable tool of statecraft, including carefully applied political violence.
You would be amazed at what an educational and persuasive effect a few hackers or financial saboteurs found slumped over their computers with their throats cut would have on anyone contemplating such interference.
By the way, I actually dealt with that question in Freedom Sons.
And on that note, our time is up for this week's edition of Radio Free Northwest.
This program is brought to you by the Northwest Front, Post Office Box 2188, Bremerton, Washington, 98310, or you can go to the party's website at www.northwestfront.org.
This is Harold Covington, and I'll see you next week.
Until then, Sasha Anaban.
