      XPost: alt.politics.republicans, alt.politics.conservative, dc.politics       XPost: alt.fan.art-bell       From: mars1933@hotmail.com              The Race Debate              Journalists, says Anthony Milne, are now just high-powered       propagandists who twist facts. Immigration into Britain may now never       be stopped, or even controlled, because the politicians, the only       people who can pass laws on the subject, have lost too much power and       influence. In The New Élites, George Walden maintains that Britain is       now in a Soviet-type grip of professional egalitarians whose power       base lies in commerce, culture and the media. They can now control       virtually all of public life. They are extremely mediocre in their       abilities, and indeed brag about their ordinariness, but behind their       anti-elitist rhetoric lies the old urge to dominate which is as       powerful as that of their aristocratic forebears.              Above all, they remain left-liberal and internationalist. Although       Walden is careful not to mention it, it is clear that inverted       snobbery and their "tolerance of foreigners which is regarded as a       sign of superiority", as he puts it, means that pro-immigrant       sentiment will continue to be peddled by the élites.              As Walden points out, élites have always dominated mass societies, and       there is a large academic literature on the subject. But in the past       there was always a struggle between competing élites with opposing       ideas. Britain's new élites, instead, are virtually totalitarian. No       politicians of any party would now dare to propose openly to withdraw       from the Geneva Refugee Convention, which has outlived its usefulness       and is actually harming this country, because the new élites would       shout them down.              Further, the executive branch, in particular the immigration       authorities, can do nothing to halt immigration unless there is a       change of law initiated by the politicians. Similarly, the lawyers in       the immigration appellate system, which is now a growing and       monolithic money-spinner for many of them, have to tolerate perjury in       court by illegal immigrants - whom they know to be lying - and, having       refused them asylum, still allow them to stay in Britain because they       know that the authorities are simply incapable of removing them in the       numbers required.              Decline in standards       The greatest present danger is the decline in journalistic standards,       which the new élites have brought about. In earlier times, news       reporters were taught not to comment in their copy, to be balanced and       fair-minded. Not any more. The present mix of spin, personally biased       opinion, public relations chat and celebrity gossip - often all       crammed into one article - is now demanded of journalists by their       paymasters. In the process they have resorted to lies and half-lies       because they know they can get away with them if they express       left-liberal opinions. They continually use pejorative adjectives when       it comes to describing the Right - again because it is expected of       them. Indeed they fear for their jobs if they fail in this regard.       They are no longer journalists but Soviet-type propagandists. This is       why the Right is always termed 'extreme', but never the Left.              Journalists' names for parties       Journalists will often describe parties such as the BNP, or Austria's       Freedom Party, as 'anti-immigrant' but will not at the same time say       that the other parties are 'pro-immigrant'. They will increasingly       point to the unpleasant consequences of race riots in Britain, but       will not point to their cause: unbridled immigration. They will       sometimes approve of attempts to remove illegal immigrants, but are       only too ready to publish pictures of weeping immigrant children and       their mothers being forced onto ships and planes against their will,       because their editors demand a more sentimental and 'caring' approach       to news stories.              By using non-neutral language, they print glaring paradoxes. An       article in the national press that describes an immigrant borough as       'vibrant', or one which 'celebrates diversity', will be printed       alongside stories about tribal butchery in Africa or communal murders       in India.              Journalists used also to be warned about using non-sequiturs - stating       facts but drawing incorrect conclusions from them. A classic       non-sequitur says that 'anti-immigration' parties promote 'hate'       because, as most immigrants are coloured, white nationalist parties       must therefore "hate coloured people" everywhere in the world. What is       a legitimate criticism of policy becomes instead a personal attack on       individual black people in Britain. They pretend not to see the       difference between one stance and another.              They write emotively and unthinkingly, and seem fearful and confused.       Any talk of controlling immigration will stir up trouble in immigrant       communities, they maintain. They assume that ethnic minorities       themselves want immigration to continue ad infinitum, so they avoid       publishing criticism of immigration policies for fear of giving       offence - offence, that is, to the ethnic minorities, not the British       host population...              Our increasing multi-racialism will itself become a kind of       self-imposed tyranny, and in the end our institutions will be utterly       unreformable. One of the great ironies of our time is that Eastern       Europe, since the collapse of communism, is now freer than the West.       Today it is in the West that criticism of racial or historical dogma       can end the career of a scholar or politician, and even send him to       prison. By contrast, in Eastern Europe and Russia, now the last       enclaves of free white people, one can find plenty of books about race       or historical revisionism.              The warning is clear: Liberalism could well collapse like communism       did, and as suddenly. To avoid this, the new élites themselves will       have to make a smart move to the Right.              Spearhead Online              http://www.ihr.org http://nationalvanguard.org http://www.bpp.org.uk              http://national-socialist-worldview.blogspot.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
