The Weekly Forum - 13 December

During a recent debate on immigration in the Second Chamber (Lower House) of the Dutch parliament, MPs were asked to comment on a 500-page report on the issue. Thierry Baudet went to the very heart of the matter. His first point was that, contrary to what liberalism pretends, people are not interchangeable. They are not just numbers on a spreadsheet. Instead, they are bearers of a particular culture and identity. It is not neutral if a Dutchman is replaced by an African. The second is that mass migration is causing the very structure of society to change: native Europeans are being replaced by non-Europeans. Soon, the natives will be a minority in their own country. This is what is correctly called ‘the great replacement’ and it is truly happening. Third, unless it is stopped and reversed, it will be irreversible.
People are NOT interchangeable!
Becoming a Minority in our own country
The Great Replacement is NOT a theory!
Iem al Biyati, leader of FVD’s youth wing, gave a lovely speech in El Salvador during the recent Patriots conference there. Iem laid out in a few clear sentences the glories of Dutch history - and then said that the modern trend is to denigrate all that by pretending that the past is nothing but oppression and reaction. Not only is the past being erased, the future is too – by mass immigration, a deliberate project to change Dutch and European society radically. Iem remains both optimistic and ambitious: Europe can recover from this once it liberates itself from the pernicious legacy of the French Revolution and the Enlightenment.
The EU is well known for ignoring the results of elections. It famously ignored the result of the Dutch referendum on the Ukraine accession agreement, organized and won by FVD in 2016. But so far it has never actually cancelled one, as it now has done in Romania, after the well-known and respected public figure, Calin Georgescu, unexpectedly came first in the first round of presidential elections. The vote has been retroactively cancelled, just days after simultaneous parliamentary elections were validated! Bertolt Brecht’s old joke has lost none of its sad piquancy: it is time to dissolve the people and elect another. An FVD friend in Bucharest, Kees Cramer, has sent us an analysis of this full-frontal assault on democracy. It is nothing less than a coup.

We discussed the fall of Syria on The Forum this week. Mark Sleboda gave us a superb analysis of the collapse of the Assad regime while Vanessa Beeley, who had quite literally fled the revolution for Lebanon, told us her harrowing first-hand experiences.
