After the German federal prosecutor issued an international arrest warrant for a Ukrainian accused of blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines in 2022, FVD MP Gideon van Meijeren was able to question Admiral Rob Bauer, chairman of the NATO military committee, about NATO’s continuing support for Ukraine in the light of this development. Gideon asked the admiral why NATO is continuing to support Ukraine having issued a strong <a href="https://email.email.fvd.nl/c/eJwUyEFuhSAQANDTwJIwg4IsWHTDNX6AGQqJ4q-Sb4_fdPsogDOlSA7g0Bln0TrZgq4LwZb1Bpa27DUXgG1NnAowp7zKHmz1yQMYACImtmSW6jyvoLP3SE4sun5IjV3uoc35voX5EhgFxud51EjzVH1MgbG8b4GRh8D4r-1HYDxr7aWn_TX5d94v1M4Zo9o85BXyxWO2RMRXH99NLLqd80h9V-U85CfgXwAAAP__n1pBzQ">statement</a> in 2022 saying that “Any deliberate attack against Allies’ critical infrastructure would be met with a united and determined response.” In his reply, the Admiral dissembled absurdly, claiming that these were just “newspaper reports” and that the pipelines were not owned by states anyway – an untrue statement because the owners of Nord Stream include public companies like the Netherlands’ Gasunie. In short, he said there would no change in NATO for support to Ukraine … even though the German prosecutor suspects that Ukraine attacked NATO!<a href="https://youtu.be/rQ05xyjfh6s?si=Nj4gWyEK20UEm0BS">Watch Gideon's questioning of Admiral Bauer here</a><hr>&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="/uploads/RD_9_Ybpha_AM_7qd_Bq52_FM_Luiar_QDF_Qz_Q_Fn_Dg_Pu_Qtc_T_7128d581a1.png"></figure>&nbsp;The new Dutch government, whose largest component is Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party, has finally got to work. But what is it going to do with its mandate? Thierry Baudet recently cross-examined the new Minister for Asylum and Migration, Marjolein Faber, in a committee hearing in the Dutch parliament. The new government claims that it will get tough on immigration - but is that enough? Surely we need to encourage people already in the country to return to their country of origin, Thierry Baudet insisted. Remigration, otherwise the Dutch will be a minority in their own country! Rather like the admiral, Mrs Faber dissembled when confronted with this idea and would not say she agreed with it. She claimed she could not look into a crystal ball and say where the Netherlands would be demographically in 2050. But the Minister does not need to look into a crystal ball to see the way things are heading, she needs only to look out of her car window the next time she is in central Rotterdam or Utrecht.<a href="https://youtu.be/JkgccMHXxfg?si=7HbLepoZ20p58pUj">Watch Thierry's cross-examination of minister Faber here</a><hr>&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="/uploads/w_J4b7a45c_Su_Wn0k_BT_0_Mv5jfx_EM_Xbik4rdz_KX_Hl2r_5b5024984d.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;Remigration was also the topic of Thierry Baudet’s recent interview on GB News, the Dutch government having “asked permission” from Brussels to derogate from EU asylum policy. Given that the EU is currently fining Hungary €200 million because it is derogating from EU asylum policy, the chances of Brussels saying yes to the Netherlands are zero. Thierry did not beat about the bush. Immigration, he said, was “low IQ, high testosterone” and the only way to stop it is to leave the EU – something Geert Wilders says he no longer believes in. Only FVD is in favour of Nexit.<a href="https://youtu.be/V9UVl2QfKt8?si=L1qj3esNgbj_E82p">Watch Thierry's interview with GB News here</a><hr>&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="/uploads/qg_S_Rx_O_Vr_DK_Ws_F72_T_Ewh_AII_2_R3_Km6_Ltfeh8t_P_Qzau_a71608bc77.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;Do the concepts Left and Right have any meaning?

The Weekly Forum - 26 September

On 24 September, the Dutch Prime Minister, Dick Schoof, left the Netherlands for the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Thanks to a remarkable motion by Jan Paternotte (D66), he will have to promote an extremely risky Taiwan policy there on behalf of the Netherlands. Forum for Democracy was the only party in the entire House of Representatives to oppose this policy because, like Ukraine earlier, it makes Taiwan the plaything of US warmongering.On Thursday 12 September, the Lower House voted on the positions to be taken by the Dutch government at the UN General Assembly (24-30 September). One of the motions before it related to Taiwan. Submitted by Jan Paternotte (D66), the motion was an almost verbatim reproduction of earlier statements by US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken. The gist: Taiwan should be allowed to become a member of the United Nations and its affiliated organisations. This implies sovereignty. In doing so, the motion stated that:(1) the currently valid UN resolution on Taiwan's status does not preclude this;and that:(2) such Taiwanese membership of UN organisations would not undermine the ‘one-China policy’ which the Netherlands has long pursued.Both assertions are factually incorrect. Recognising Taiwanese sovereignty is reckless, unwise, misguided and moreover bad for both the Netherlands and Taiwan itself. To explain this, however, some context is important.The tug-of-war surrounding Taiwan dates back to the mid-20th century when the communists led by Mao Zedong seized power and the deposed Chinese government, led by Chiang Kai-shek, took refuge on the island of Taiwan.It was 1949, the time of the Cold War, and the West naturally viewed Mao Zedong's victory with suspicion. The island of Taiwan offered a solution: it had been conquered by Japan during World War II and was in a temporary transition phase, in which authority had not yet been returned to China. As such, the island was effectively under US military rule.Chiang Kai-shek and his followers were to find safe haven here until Japan abandoned its imperial claims in 1952 and Taiwan fell back to China. By then, however, a new status quo appeared to have emerged.Chiang Kai-Shek had rearmed and more importantly, the Korean War (1950-1953) ushered in a complex international equilibrium in which neither East nor West seemed willing to risk another major war. Although Mao was firmly in control of mainland China, Chiang Kai-shek continued to claim from Taiwan to be the true government of China.&nbsp; Because of the full support of the United States, the latter was also allowed to continue to sit on the United Nations Security Council on China's behalf.It was a particularly curious situation: a government-in-exile pretending for years from a relatively small island to represent one of the largest and most populous countries on earth.&nbsp; Decisions in the United Nations that had no effect whatsoever because Mao Zedong's real government did not go along with them. Only when Richard Nixon saw a reason to improve diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China in 1971 did this change. The United States recognised Mao Zedong's government as legitimate. Its representatives were integrated into the UN and the Taiwanese delegation, which until then had occupied China's seat, was told to return home.UN General Assembly resolution 2758, adopted on 25 October 1971, confirmed the new situation. Contrary to what is apparently thought, namely that this resolution ‘does not judge that the People's Republic of China enjoys sovereignty over Taiwan, nor does it judge Taiwan's future participation in the United Nations or other international organisations’, the resolution states that‘the representatives of the People's Republic of China are the only legitimate representatives of China at the United Nations’and that‘the representatives of Chiang Kai-Shek be immediately removed from the seats they unlawfully occupy at the United Nations and in all its affiliated organisations.’Both the text of this resolution, and the context in which it arose, leave nothing unclear: a dispute over legitimate representation needed to be resolved, agreements needed to be reached with the actual China, not with a government deposed more than 20 years earlier which by then had no more say there.By no means, however, does the resolution seek to split China, or to give Taiwan independence. So where Paternotte's motion concludes that recognition of Taiwanese sovereignty by the Netherlands ‘need not be an obstacle to the Netherlands’ one-China policy’ he is mistaken: it would represent a radical break with that policy. It would hugely worsen the Dutch relationship with China, while doing nothing to improve the situation for Taiwan: on the contrary, it would push diplomatic solutions to the situation even further out of sight, while increasing the likelihood of armed conflict.We recently saw this happen in a similar situation: when NATO announced Ukraine's imminent membership in 2008 and then incited Maidan protesters to stage a coup in 2014. The result was that by 2022, Putin saw no option but to respond militarily.The Americans are using the same playbook in the Far East. Their escalation policy was not in Ukraine's interest and is it in Taiwan's interest now. Nor is it in Europe's interest, and it is even unclear how America actually benefits except inasumuch as it benefits the military-industrial complex. Ambitious politicians can pretend to be important. But it is extremely disappointing that virtually the entire Lower House of the Dutch parliament has gone along with this.

Taiwan, a second Ukraine?

The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/09/will_the_republicans_really_lose_again.html">original article</a> was posted on 20 September 2024 on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/">American Thinker</a>.Remember just a few short weeks ago: Donald Trump’s heroic defiance of an assassination attempt was grudgingly admired even by opponents, while the Democrats were in disarray over what to do about their demented president running for re-election — and, to compound their dilemma, his highly implausible replacement.&nbsp; Trump looked like a shoe-in as the next president. All the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-LDY-DHA0Q&amp;t=1903s">best commentators</a> were saying so.Yet now the Democrat left establishment — with the most cringeworthy candidate ever proposed by a major party — are back in the race.&nbsp; Even allowing for the&nbsp;<a href="https://soundcloud.com/pseagles/wynk-do-not-believe-polls-september-3-2024-proamericareport">bias of the opinion polls</a>, the very notion that this ludicrous woman should be taken seriously by anyone is a damning&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newenglishreview.org/articles/the-real-indictment-against-kamala-harris/">indictment</a> of America’s politics and where it is taking the world.That intensive coaching prevented her from making a fool of herself in the recent debate is heralded as a remarkable achievement, which in a sense it was.Recall that something similar happened in the midterm elections in 2022.&nbsp; Two years of disastrous and authoritarian policies by the Biden administration led to confident predictions that the Republicans would trounce them even more thoroughly than usually happens in midterms.&nbsp; In the event, they did not trounce them at all, and the blowback to the governing party was even milder than usual.So what is going on here?It is not that the Democrats are especially skillful at political maneuvering, nor that Republicans are politically incompetent (<a href="https://stephenbaskerville.substack.com/p/why-cant-we-explain-it">although...</a>).Something&nbsp;<a href="https://stephenbaskerville.substack.com/p/why-cant-we-explain-it">deeper</a> lies beneath all this: changes in the social and especially the ideological make-up of America that enabled the left wing of the Democrat party to take control of the United States in the first place, changes that the conservative Republican establishment is still determined to ignore, and that are changing the Republican establishment itself.This becomes clear by glancing at the constituency of “Kamala.”&nbsp; The very fact that everyone resists glancing confirms that we are terrified of an elephant in the room.&nbsp; Quite simply, she appeals to adolescent girls, including superannuated adolescent girls:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thetimes.com/world/us-world/article/taylor-swift-endorses-warrior-kamala-harris-after-debate-svk9nzr8r">fans of Taylor Swift</a> and their elders who have grown into J.D. Vance’s “childless cat women.”&nbsp; What should disquiet all of us is not that Swift endorsed Kamala, but that such a fuss is being made about it and so many consider it important.&nbsp; Such voters do not worry overmuch about police-state methods and violated constitutional rights or millions of deaths from lethal “vaccines” and needless wars, so long as they can feel “joy.”You can invoke all the conspiracy theories you wish, and they may well be true, but they definitely will be irrelevant.&nbsp; If we really want to get a handle on our current crisis, we must face the more daunting reality that what is decisive — what debilitates and leaves us incapable of decisive action against the machinations of powerful men — is not that our political system has fallen under the control of globalists, pharmaceutical companies, or defense contractors.&nbsp; No, what renders us impotent and helpless to stand against it is the far more formidable power wielded by people we used to call teenyboppers.<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc93-6LmMUdJwC52lReyTkS4XuoUVpVzFh-mR8dCh2vWMtlNYgVqfkFMs_QLCcg9EHrIs3nRHWCBJGnslobtYJYvSUJpiBPNAG_pko763FPzSeBotu9d_ZYMQUMbtPg4od-jbujuGzXyEbLyu1KYNYrY4I?key=8dAi3Ehy3MslG9zgQdMiBA">You can also level perennial complaints about the ignorance, apathy, gullibility, stupidity, etc. of the American voter.&nbsp; That might explain why they have long elected mediocrities to public office.&nbsp; The Republic can survive mediocrities, so long as they are accountable.&nbsp; This obvious misfit and variation on the Valley Girl thrives outside the previously known rules of electoral competition.Enthralled as we all become by the grisly details of the latest Democrat outrage, we need to return to the underlying question of why our government now responds to the beck and call of giggly girls and what we can do about it.&nbsp; We know what the Republicans and professional conservative groups will do: lament and bemoan and deplore, nag us for money, spend it on pointless conferences and junkets, and then do nothing.&nbsp; For you certainly will find few conservative Republican honchos willing to offend adolescent girls.&nbsp; They are more likely to feature the prettiest among them in their latest&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/liz-wheeler-the-grip-of-technocracy-and-how-self-avowed-marxists-enforce-social-coercion-5494522?est=LwNJLbpEZ%2B7rwNPDP8eJRK9YtFO%2FaWINhjFRfBFwEC9eqU%2Fa8EIjlmqHHDnc63DFoYgo">video</a> or&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/QGheQulIfao">conference</a>, even if it is only to mouth clichés or air-headed drivel.If we want to know who “empowered” the Swifties and their foremothers, we need only ask from whom they wrested this power.&nbsp; Here too the obvious answer presents itself: they displaced male heads of households.&nbsp; Conservative politicos couch this in innocuous phrases like “two-parent families,” making it plain whom they fear to offend.Yes, numerous trends led us here.&nbsp; The cowardly right will be careful to offend no one and excuse their own inaction by invoking vague clichés about “the culture” and “the breakdown of the family,” and they will be right enough that many will nod their heads in agreement — and then shake their heads because the clichés offer no remedy, except more lamenting and bemoaning and deploring.But the displacement of the fathers as our ruling authorities by little girls has specific, identifiable causes that are susceptible to straightforward remedies.&nbsp; The fathers were destroyed, first, by the welfare system, which furnished the blueprint and the machinery by emasculating low-income minority men.&nbsp; Then the job was taken up on a still more grand scale by the divorce courts, which were created for no other purpose.&nbsp; That is, the “patriarchy” was smashed by a purpose-built government machine created by radical ideologues.This machine can be dismantled, and the legitimate citizenry will recover its strength.&nbsp; You might think this is a tall order.But the biggest impediment is not the Swifties.&nbsp; It is the conservative political class, feminized into paralysis.&nbsp; In their impotence and frustration, they ingratiate themselves with the bimbos and kick low-income minority men who were their first victims, casting them instead as the victimizers.&nbsp; These are the men that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newenglishreview.org/articles/the-real-indictment-against-kamala-harris/">Kamala built her career prosecuting</a>.In fact, dismantling the government machinery that cranks out rebellious adolescents could be accomplished fairly easily — certainly more easily than “changing the culture” or “reviving the family” or any of the other lame excuses Conservatism, Inc. invokes for its paralysis, while its operatives continue enjoying the good life on our donations.&nbsp; The point is they do not even try, and left to themselves, they never will.It is now a matter of whether fathers and men generally can overcome their own ingrained feminization enough to stop relying on the honchos to rescue them from the railroad tracks and instead take the initiative to act.Kamala’s victory will not be effected by election-rigging or intervention by the FBI, though those weapons may well be used.&nbsp; If it comes, it will result because of faint-hearted men we have trusted to defend our freedom in Washington and other capitals, with the rest of us failing to bypass and discard them and act on our own.Men are already spontaneously&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Men-Strike-Boycotting-Marriage-Fatherhood/dp/1594037620">abstaining from family life</a> because government machinery encourages their children to rebel against them and everything else.&nbsp; Their boycott is on a scale serious enough that they are regularly&nbsp;<a href="https://stephenbaskerville.substack.com/p/the-mens-marriage-strike-what-the">scolded</a> by the obligious advocates of “family values” from an ineffectual political class.&nbsp;

Will the Republicans Really Lose — Again?

This week, FVD put itself at the centre of the new pan-European political party, Europe of Sovereign Nations, when it hosted numerous foreign guests at a meeting of all FVD’s elected officials in the grounds of a stately home in Gelderland on 15 September. We were honoured to have representatives from France (Eric Zemmour, the leader of Reconquête, and Sarah Knafo MEP), Germany (Irmhild Bossdorf, MEP for Alternative für Deutschland) and Bulgaria (Stanislav Stoyanov and Rada Laykova from Vazrazhdane / Revival). We thereby covered not just the Franco-German core of Europe but also spanned East and West, bringing the most South-Easterly member state on the European continent to the most North-Westerly. FVD hopes to play a central role in the new party and its activities. In his speech to the several hundred guests, Thierry Baudet emphasised the need for a European Europe – a phrase Sarah Knafo also used later in her own speech – free from American political and cultural domination.<a href="https://fvdinternational.com/article/with-a-strong-europe-fvd-wants-to-counter-american-influence">Read about the Brakel event here</a><hr>&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="/uploads/N_Ha_Kg_R_Jd3_JH_Zijia_C2_Uof3_Qet2b1n_UZ_Dp_Qg2_Uk_Jl_bbe56315ac.png"></figure>&nbsp;FVD’s international activity also continued in Budapest last week, where FVD MP Pepijn van Houwelingen attended a session of the International Parliamentarians Congress in the magnificent Hungarian parliament. He was the only member of the Dutch parliament to do so, the others having decided to boycott the conference … because it was held in Hungary!Pepijn used the occasion to meet colleagues from our sister parties Mi Hazank (Our Homeland) in Hungary and Vazrazhdane in Bulgaria. (The Bulgarian MP made a good speech about the need for peace in Ukraine.). Pepijn spoke about the need for strict controls on immigration and thanked Hungary for serving as a model to the rest of Europe. A week later, the European Commission imposed a €200 million fine on Hungary for refusing to obey its asylum and immigration rules: European democracy in action.<a href="https://x.com/FVD_Intl/status/1833508239822229609">Watch Pepijn's speech in Hungarian Parliament here</a><hr>&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="/uploads/k_H_Nvsi7u58_H1_CWXZH_1_UL_1_C3b_O1_A9nh_SXERRKA_So7_5d0848a924.webp"></figure>&nbsp;And now the EU has done the same thing to the Netherlands! The new PVV-led government wrote to Brussels to ask for an exemption from the EU’s asylum policy, there being a long commitment to substantial reform of immigration policy in the Schoof government’s coalition agreement - and the EU rejected its request. This naturally put Geert Wilders in a very embarrassing position, especially since – as Thierry Baudet got him to admit during questions in Parliament – it turns out that his party had quietly dropped its commitment to Nexit before this year’s European Parliament elections, having won the elections on a pro-Nexit platform last November and having campaigned against the EU and the euro for years. This leaves FVD the only party in the Netherlands – the country which is the biggest per capita net contributor to the EU budget – in favour of leaving the organisation which prevents national governments implementing the policies for which they were elected.

The Weekly Forum - 19 September

By Forum for Democracy, 18 September 2024During the General Political Consultations, Thierry Baudet questioned PVV leader Geert Wilders about his EU stance. Baudet wanted to know whether Wilders still wanted to leave the European Union. And if not, was this was the result of the coalition negotiations or an actual change of course by the PVV itself?Wilders on NEXIT In his response, Wilders, for years an outspoken supporter of NEXIT and a departure from the euro, confirmed that he had indeed changed course. Wilders said there was no question of ‘putting water into his wine’ in order to form a government coalition.&nbsp; The leader of the largest governing party confirmed that the PVV itself had come to the conclusion that the Netherlands is better off as an EU member state. Thus, although Wilders had previously invariably advocated leaving the European Union and the euro, he now says that he no longer pursues these goals. This begs the question: why the change?Baudet confronted Wilders and stressed that the Netherlands is losing its sovereignty within the EU. Not only is decision-making power on, for example, Dutch climate or immigration policy transferred to the EU as a member state, it also costs the Dutch people, as the largest net contributors to the European Union, billions we spend even to be allowed to be part of it.Letter from Faber The Minister for Asylum and Migration, Marjolein Faber, a member of Wilders’ PVV party, sent a letter to the European Commission earlier this week requesting a Dutch opt-out from EU asylum laws. In a response today, however, the European Commission revealed that ‘the current rules remain binding.’FVD on EU ‘We just denounce those [refugee] treaties - and if they are difficult, we'll get out,’ Forum leader Baudet said during a radio debate earlier this year. ‘We serve the Dutch interest - and if those international treaties and organisations don't serve that interest (any longer), then we're out, it's as simple as that.’Forum for Democracy therefore remains in favour of a NEXIT and a departure from the eurozone. To regain control of our national policies and restore democracy in the Netherlands. While Wilders seems to be giving in to the status quo, FVD continues to fight unabated for a sovereign Netherlands that determines its own future.Do you also want to contribute to an independent Netherlands? Then join Forum voor Democratie and fight for a country that is truly ours again!<a href="https://fvd.nl/word-lid">https://fvd.nl/word-lid</a>&nbsp;

Thierry Baudet surprised by Geert Wilders' EU stance: “There can be no strict asylum policy without NEXIT”

By NieuwRechts, 16 September 2024. American films, music and politics: according to FVD leader, Thierry Baudet, the Netherlands is being ‘flooded’ with Anglo-American influences. Now that the Americans are far from always proving to be our allies, such as with the recent Nord Stream sabotage, Baudet believes that a tipping point needs to be reached. As far as he is concerned, Europe must fall back on its own culture and history. This is only possible with a strong alliance, in which the sovereignty of all European countries is preserved: ‘We have our own civilisation.’Just outside Zaltbommel lies Brakel Castle, a medieval ruin. Only the tower still stands; the rest was blown up by French troops in 1627. It seems no coincidence that Forum for Democracy decided to organise its summer barbecue here. Amid guest speakers, invited guests and donors, party leader Thierry Baudet announced the construction of a pan-European alliance. European culture and history must take centre stage again, he believes. This should counterbalance American influence on our continent.Guests were not bored at this big event at the Brakel estate. The event was attended by several MEPs, all from the Europe of Sovereign Nations party which Forum recently joined. They include the leader of Reconquête in France, Éric Zemmour, the party’s MEP, Sarah Knafo, as well as a delegation from Alternative für Deutschland and the Bulgarian party Vazrazhdane (Revival). Lots of food was brought in, including a roast pig and special Forum cakes. A petting zoo and a casino were also hired.After the festivities had been going on for about an hour and a half, Baudet announced the new alliance: ‘We need to branch out and be more European.’ From the Netherlands to Spain, from Germany to Hungary: it is time for right-wing conservative Europe to unite, Baudet argued. This is not for nothing, he said, as all countries - including Russia - have a shared civilisation and culture.&nbsp;Time for a new alliance? Baudet seemed to suggest that Europe is too much under the US yoke. ‘Our country is overrun by Anglo-American influences,’ he said. The FVD leader does not find this ideal, as Americans are far from always serving European interests. As an example, he pointed to the recent Nord Stream sabotage: a destruction of Europe's vital energy infrastructure. This is why Baudet believes that Europe, as a strategic move, should see itself not only as part of a ‘transatlantic’ alliance, but above all of a continental European alliance.What does such an alliance look like? As a starter, Baudet points to FVD's new partners in the European parliament, including AfD and Reconquête. ‘We need to develop an independent geostrategic position amidst all global developments. This was absent in our country in recent decades, but now we are trying to rebuild it,’ he said. Baudet is also keen to see new, pro-European voices emerging in the fields of media, art and social movements.‘We need European films, authors, documentaries and music. We need to rediscover our ability to learn European languages. Perhaps in a few years we will no longer speak English at international meetings, but German or French,’ Baudet says. ‘This is crucial at a time when the US empire is throwing us under the bus, with all these senseless wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. The US intelligence services spy on us and sell their weapons and technology to us. As Europe - while respecting the sovereignty of all countries - we need to discover a new perspective on world politics.’A European Europe Soon Baudet puts his words into action, giving the stage to his international partners and guests. Not only the Brit, John Laughland came to speak, but also the French politicians, Éric Zemmour and Sarah Knafo, AfD MEP Irmhild Boßdorf and the Bulgarian MEP Stanislav Stoyanov. All share the same vision: pro-Europe, i.e. for a Europe of sovereign nations and against the Brussels centralisation drive.In his speech, Zemmour recounted how he got to know Baudet. Years ago, the Frenchman reviewed a book by Baudet for Le Figaro, after which he received a phone call from him. Soon the two met in Paris, where they appeared to share the same analyses on European history.&nbsp; Although Europe is divided into different nations, Europe has also experienced all the same historical trends at the same time: from the rise of 11th-century capitalism and the Renaissance to the Enlightenment, nationalism, sexual liberation and now populism. As the biggest threat to Europe, Zemmour cited the growing influence of wokeism and Islam. The two are diametrically opposed to traditional Western civilisation, he said.In addition to European countries, Zemmour kept the door open to the United States, or rather especially to Donald Trump. He even wants to work with the British to create a stronger Europe – quite an admission for a French nationalist. After him, Knafo explains that right-wing conservative policy proposals are becoming more prevalent in Europe. For this, she pointed to major developments just last week: Sweden wants to encourage remigration, Germany is re-introducing full border controls, the Netherlands is tightening family reunification. ‘These are victories to which our parties contributed. We fought for our ideas even during failures and demonisation from the media. We carried on despite opposition.’A musical beginning Knafo is clear: for a party, what counts in the end is not the percentage of votes but the influence one exerts and fighting spirit one shows in the process. This is what people will ultimately remember. This is why she calls on the Netherlands to fight for a Dutch Netherlands, France for a French France, and Europe for a European Europe.&nbsp;According to AfD's Boßdorf, European countries must first of all regain sovereignty. She sees other important issues in migration, woke and climate policy. Then Stoyanov stresses the importance of regaining peace in Europe. To conclude, Baudet climbs on stage again, with a clear message: his party does not only want to voice criticism, but above all to spread new ideas. In other words: to stand up for European life and sovereignty. Not only of EU member states among themselves, but also in relation to the Americans.&nbsp;After the series of speeches, the barbecue took off on the Brakel estate. There was plenty of talking, eating and drinking. And what is striking: the music in the background is exclusively of European origin. It seems like a musical beginning of the great political ambitions: a united Europe of independent countries.

With a strong Europe, FVD wants to counter American influence

FVD International’s director, John Laughland, was again interviewed on TNT Radio recently, this time with Andrew Eborn and James Freeman, to discuss the political situation in France. The interview was conducted before the appointment of Michel Barnier as prime minister but John correctly predicted that Emmanuel Macron, who has been disavowed in three elections now – the parliamentary elections of 2022 and both the European and parliamentary elections of 2024 – would ensure that the same policies as before remain in place. This has now happened. In other words, however much the French protest against their political class, the uniparty clings to power. Although Barnier is an improvement over Gabriel Attal, this decades-old rule has once again been confirmed.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzdKZo-OwVo&amp;ab_channel=FVDInternational">Watch John Laughland's interview here</a><hr>&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="/uploads/f_JP_1_Z_Sx_D_Ii_GNNG_Tk6_FVP_Sq_AP_4_UJ_1_G_Smw_TC_Cr_N2x_D_e0a1d47d33.webp"></figure>&nbsp;FVD is keeping up the pressure on the Nord Stream ‘Whodunnit?’ Well, we all know <a href="https://fvdinternational.com/article/the-americans-did-it">who dunnit</a> and, the clearer that becomes, the more the political class is determined to practise omertà. Omertà is how you cope with the Mafia, who come into your neighbourhood, smash up your windows and then say, ‘You wouldn’t want anything to happen to your kids, now, would you’. This is the standard modus operandi of American foreign policy. FVD party leader Thierry Baudet has tabled questions to the Netherlands government, many of whose ministers proclaimed that the Russians were guilty before they entered government, but who are now strangely silent. Has their silence been bought? Which country really interferes most in our politics? Will we ever get straight answers to these questions?<a href="https://fvdinternational.com/article/thierry-baudet-asks-for-clarification-on-ukrainian-and-american-influence-on-dutch-politics">Read Thierry Baudet's questions here</a><hr>&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="/uploads/b_Jxv_FVD_7_X0uq_B7_Zd_ZP_19j2_I_Ld6_Orv_KG_Wi3h6p47u_03121b1881.webp"></figure>&nbsp;Forum for Democracy is delighted to announce that it is a founder member of the new Europe of Sovereign Nations party which has been created on the basis of the eponymous group in the European Parliament. By far the biggest party in the new group is Alternative für Deutschland, which has just scored stunning results in Thuringia and Saxony, emerging as the largest party in the first and as the second in the latter. Thierry Baudet signed the accession documents in Brussels recently and to celebrate FVD is organising a festive event on 15 September in grounds of a stately home in the Gelderland countryside. The event will be attended by several leading MEPs from the new group and by the leader of the French party, Reconquête, Eric Zemmour, intellectual superstar and former presidential candidate.<a href="https://fvdinternational.com/article/fvd-joins-new-european-party-with-german-afd">Read about the new party here</a><hr>&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="/uploads/Cx7_HA_Frp_Td_Ime4_R3_Vyq_H6_Bs_WTKPR_1_Af_L_Ulg_Tr4hn_f323e1c41c.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;Professor Edouard Husson was our guest at The Forum this week, to discuss his theory of ‘grey fascism’.

The Weekly Forum - 12 September

In this essay, we explore the ideas of Mencius Moldbug, a prominent figure in Neoreactionary thought. We examine how modern communication systems, political fragmentation, and the collapse of organic community institutions are reshaping society. These transformations pave the way for the rise of authoritarian figures – a phenomenon Moldbug predicted.&nbsp;We call it the ‘Third Arrival’ as this is the third part of a series. The&nbsp;<a href="https://fvdinternational.com/article/on-mencius-moldbug-and-the-social-chaos-leading-to-monarchial-caesarism">first article</a> discusses the rise of the ‘new monarch’ as part of the advent of Caesarism; the&nbsp;<a href="https://fvdinternational.com/article/mencius-moldbug-the-second-coming">second treatise</a> explores the relationship between the Neoreaction and post-progressivism. By considering the changing nature of morality, leftist political shifts, and the impact of digitalized communication, we aim to understand why the longing for a Caesar figure grows stronger in our era.1. Old and New Moral Orders: From Embedded to Hyper-MoralityIn earlier times, morality was rooted in the fabric of everyday life, shaped by communal interactions and shared cultural practices. Individuals were embedded within their communities, and local institutions like churches, guilds, and labor unions served as mediators of moral and social values.Today, this is no longer the case. The modern individual has become an atomized consumer, living in relative isolation—watching streaming services, ordering food from delivery apps, and interacting only minimally with the outside world. Yet, this atomized existence is punctuated by grand, often overwhelming moral narratives. The individual is bombarded with global crises: emaciated children in the Third World, looming climate disasters, and endangered species teetering on the edge of extinction. These hyper-moral imperatives weigh heavily on the individual, despite the disconnect from any practical ability to influence them.The paradox is stark: while the individual’s daily life is increasingly self-centered, the moral demands placed upon them are increasingly altruistic and utopian. This creates a sense of guilt that can be easily exploited by ideological forces, particularly Cultural Marxism, which leverages moral narratives to advance political agendas.2. The Abandonment of Solidarity: From Worker to Climate PoliticsThis moral shift is mirrored by a corresponding change in leftist politics. Traditionally, the left’s appeal was grounded in solidarity—rooted in the local community, the workplace, and shared cultural values. Workers would contribute to the welfare of their neighbors, supported by a sense of mutual trust and shared risk, which emerged from centuries of Christian morality, medieval guild cooperation, and Germanic traditions.But this foundation has crumbled. As cosmopolitan cities and mass society rise, the soil from which this solidarity grew has been replaced by a fragmented, anonymous, and digital infrastructure. The left no longer appeals to neighborly solidarity or shared economic interests. Instead, it has adopted a politics of fear, using narratives of climate catastrophe to justify expensive and large-scale social engineering projects. This process explains why leftists have abandoned the working classes and – instead – now team up with ‘<a href="https://fvdinternational.com/article/wokeism-the-highest-stage-of-capitalism">woke washed</a>’ multinationals that receive government subsidies for large scale ‘green energy’ projects.The abandonment of traditional worker solidarity is due to the collapse of the very institutions that once fostered it. Workers today are no longer bound by shared interests or homogeneity; they come from diverse backgrounds, often working temporary jobs in fragmented industries. The solidarity that once united them has been replaced by a transient and rootless workforce, making it impossible to appeal to the collective consciousness of the working class as it once existed.Even if the left wanted to, it is impossible to organize worker solidarity in the current landscape of West-Europe. It is due to cultural fragmentation and too much variety in individual and highly flexible worker contracts. The&nbsp;<a href="https://doorbraak.be/macht-om-concentratie-organiseren/">power to organize focus</a> is now indeed with the multinationals. Hence, the left has little choice but to woke-wash that cart, put rainbow flags on it and push it consequently; they now regard their support for the working classes as a burden from the past. As Christopher Lasch observed in&nbsp;The Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy – the working classes often show surprisingly conservative instincts that leftists choose to portray as ‘xenophobic’.3. The Role of Technology: The Digitalization of CommunicationThis cultural fragmentation has been further exacerbated by the digitalization of communication. Information is no longer spread through the natural ecosystems of local bars, churches, or town meetings. Instead, it is mediated through vast digital networks controlled by Big Tech companies, social media platforms, and algorithm-driven content filters.In the past, an individual might hear a rumor at church and then discuss it over drinks with friends, slowly forming their own interpretation of the event. Today, however, that same information is fed to the individual instantaneously through digital platforms, curated by influencers, AI algorithms, and corporate interests. Rather than being passive recipients, individuals are drawn into political and ideological movements, often without time for reflection. Information is presented not neutrally but with a deliberate intention to provoke emotional or political responses.Examples of this new mode of communication are easy to find. The viral spread of videos like the Kony 2012 campaign or controversies surrounding athletes like a hermaphrodite boxer at the Olympics showcase how digital platforms drive public discourse. These controversies gain disproportionate attention because digital structures are designed to amplify content that triggers emotional engagement. In this environment, individuals cease to be reflective agents and instead become mere nodes in a collective nerve system, constantly transmitting information without critical thought.4. The Rise of the New Caesar: Longing for Authority in a Fragmented WorldMencius Moldbug’s critique of democracy rests on the inefficiency of modern governance, and he predicts that this dysfunction will lead to the rise of a new Caesar – an authoritarian figure who will restore order amidst the chaos. In today’s world, the fragmentation of communities and the collapse of local institutions leave individuals yearning for coherence and purpose. The atomized citizen, disconnected from organic social cohesion, increasingly looks for a leader who can impose order from above.Populist leaders, like those we see emerging around the world, are a symptom of this desire for strong authority. These figures can bypass traditional social structures and appeal directly to the masses through the digital platforms that now mediate public life. The political landscape, shaped by fragmented communication networks, allows such leaders to wield influence over populations that are no longer anchored by local or cultural ties.In essence, the influencers and content creators who dominate online spaces are already acting as mini-Caesars, shaping public opinion and influencing behavior. It is only a matter of time before this phenomenon moves from the digital realm into the offline political sphere.The establishment engages with this phenomenon by imposing a tight control over the media – the recent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c78lgzl919go">arrest of the Telegram-founder</a> Pavel Durov is a striking example. It has become a matter of time before Western governments become totalitarian regimes. Alternatively, a ‘populist’ leader will gain control of the semi-totalitarian digital infrastructure that the current elites are building. The ‘populist’ leader then becomes the Caesar.5. The Bureaucratic System: Ineptitude and FragmentationAs Moldbug notes, the inefficiency of modern democracy is partly due to the nature of power within it. In today’s political system, no single individual is accountable for decisions. Power is collectivized, with layers of committees and bureaucrats who make decisions without being held responsible for their outcomes. This creates a system where everyone is both a puppet and a puppeteer, with no clear lines of accountability.How does one progress in the chain? How does one climb up from one committee to a more influential board? Most often by first joining the municipal council, then being recommended for a higher position through a committee of local bosses. Then some more committees, and finally by being liked in the committee that draws up a list of names for candidates to be elected in national parliament. The soul crushing nature of this system is that its selection is based upon evidenced submissiveness and licking skills, on acceptability for mediocrity and none of it has anything to do with competence. This makes the elites less and less capable to properly fulfill their duties. But the opposition has no idea who or what to target as formally “the people are in power” – as such its machinations are ineffectual.Alexis de Tocqueville, in his observations on democracy, noted that aristocracies allowed space for young, ambitious individuals to rise to power. In contrast, modern democracies crush innovation through layers of pointless committee work. The path to power is not through competence but through submission to mediocrity – a process that Moldbug argues weakens the state and sets the stage for a new, stronger figure to take control.Conclusion: The Coming of CaesarThe rise of the new Caesar is not just inevitable – it is desirable. As our world becomes increasingly fragmented, as individuals become isolated and disconnected from organic social structures, and as bureaucratic inefficiency grinds progress to a halt, the need for strong leadership grows ever more urgent. The atomized citizen, overwhelmed by moral demands and disillusioned with democracy, will turn to a Caesar figure who can impose order and restore a coherent vision of society.The digital age, with its instant communication and ideological echo chambers, is the fertile ground from which this new Caesar will emerge. Whether we welcome him as a necessary force of order, an agent of hope that liberates us from the bureaucratic hell that governs our existence, or fear him as a potential tyrant, one thing is clear: the era of democracy, as we know it, is coming to an end.&gt;&nbsp;<a href="https://t.me/SidLukkassen">Follow Sid on Telegram</a> &gt;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sidlukkassen/">Follow Sid on LinkedIn</a> &gt;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sidlukkassen.com/">Follow Sid’s Newsletter</a> &gt;&nbsp;<a href="https://sidlukkassen.backme.org/">Support Sid through BackMe</a>

Mencius Moldbug the Third Arrival

This article was <a href="https://fvd.nl/nieuws/baudet-vraagt-opheldering-over-beinvloeding-van-nederlandse-politiek-door-oekraine-en-vs">published</a> in Dutch by FVD on 18 August.<hr>On 26 September 2022, the Nord Stream pipelines were blown up. Immediately afterwards, almost all Western politicians, academics and media spread the narrative that Russia carried out this attack. Clear evidence was lacking, as was the logic behind this claim: is it really obvious that Moscow would blow up its own pipeline?From the beginning, Forum for Democracy was the only party in the Netherlands which raised questions and kept other possible explanations open. Rightly so: it appears now that Ukraine was behind the attack, even with Zelensky's approval. Why was disinformation spread about the perpetrators and why was anyone who kept other explanations open vilified? Why did Sjoerd Sjoerdsma, at the time a member of parliament on behalf of the governing party, D66, even receive an award from Zelensky for his ‘unwavering support’ for Ukraine?&nbsp; Why did Derk Boswijk and the current defence minister, Ruben Brekelmans, who were at the time members of parliament on behalf of the governing parties, CDA and VVD, run a think tank to strengthen the global leadership of Ukraine's main ally, the United States?Could it be that foreign influence, and perhaps even funding from Ukraine and/or the United States, played a role? FVD party chairman Thierry Baudet has asked the government for clarification and has called for an investigation.Thierry Baudet's questions to Interior Minister Judith Uitermark (NSC) can be read below.Questions by Member of Parliament Baudet to the Minister of the Interior on investigations into whether (former) governing parties or politicians affiliated to (former) governing parties have been financed with money from Ukraine or the United States.<ol><li>Do you believe that state actors may have an interest in influencing Dutch domestic politics? Could you please explain your answer?</li><li>What forms of foreign influence are recognised and identified by the Dutch state? Does this include foreign financing, the spreading of disinformation, the awarding of awards to Dutch politicians by foreign state actors and the running of think tanks with a specific foreign national interest?</li><li>Which state actors does the Dutch state believe could potentially try to influence Dutch domestic politics and why? Could you please explain your answer?</li><li>Do you believe that Russia may have an interest in influencing Dutch domestic politics? If yes, why? If no, why not?</li><li>Do you believe that the United States may have an interest in influencing Dutch domestic politics? If yes, why? If no, why not?</li><li>Do you believe Ukraine may have an interest in influencing Dutch domestic politics? If yes, why? If no, why not?</li><li>Do you believe that disinformation has been spread in the Netherlands about the blowing up of the Nord Stream pipeline, since on 14 August it became public that Ukrainians, with at least the knowledge of Ukrainian President Zelensky, were behind this act of aggression, while from the first moment after the attack until 14 August the narrative was spread by almost all Western politicians, academics and media that Russia was the culprit? Could you explain your answer?</li><li>Are you aware of the fact that former D66 MP Sjoerd Sjoerdsma received a presidential award from the Ukrainian authorities for his ‘unwavering support’ for Ukraine during a period when his party was in the Netherlands government?</li><li>Are you aware of the fact that VVD minister and former VVD MP, Ruben Brekelmans, and CDA MP, Derk Boswijk, are or were members of the Netherlands Atlantic Commission, during the period when they were MPs on behalf of a party that was in the Netherlands government? Are you aware of the fact that the Netherlands Atlantic Commission is the Dutch branch of the US Atlantic Council, an entity that it claims seeks to strengthen US global leadership?</li><li>In your view, is it desirable for Dutch (former) government parties or politicians affiliated with (former) government parties to spread disinformation about the motives behind foreign acts of aggression with enormous international consequences, in this case about the motives behind blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline; to be singled out by foreign state actors for their ‘unwavering support’ for that state actor, in this case by Ukraine; or to sit on the boards of think tanks with a specific foreign national interest, in this case that of the United States? If yes, why so? If no, why not?</li><li>Are you willing to ask the Court of Auditors in the short term to investigate whether and, if so, in what way (former) governing parties and politicians affiliated with (former) governing parties in the Netherlands from 2014 onwards have been influenced, partly through foreign funding (financial or in kind) by Ukraine or the United States? If no, why not? If so, are you willing to inform the Second Chamber of Parliament of the outcome of this investigation as soon as possible? Could you please explain your answer?</li><li>Can you answer these questions as soon as possible and separately?</li></ol>
